B At my primary school, I was one of the smartest kids there. I never studied, but always got perfect scores. I thought I was born clever. At least I believed so. I was also a prodigy in music according to myself. I could sing better than almost everyone else in my school. I was pretty sure that once I got to seventh grade, everyone would be surprised by me. But in fact they weren’t. When I arrived at my new class, I couldn’t wait to show everyone what I could do. However, there was always someone else who could do better than me. My grades began to get worse. I needed to actually study for my tests. More talented girls often sang solo (独唱). I believed I wasn’t smart. I believed I wasn’t talented. I believed I was a failure. Over the next two years. I had to work very hard. Every prize (奖) for the singing competition was given to me for hard work. Grades were still very low but improving (提高) little by little. I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything. I realize (意识到) that I really don’t have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself. In fact, when I did badly in a test, my classmates never laughed at me. No one is perfect. There may always be someone better than me at something. Anyway, there are about seven billion people in this world. I will never be the number one at everything, and that’s really okay. 14．What does the underlined word “prodigy” in Paragraph 1 mean?

One day, the king invited me to attend an important show. A thin rope was tied between two poles (柱子) very high above the ground. The people who wanted the best jobs had to dance on this rope. Each dancer tried to jump higher than the others. I had never seen such a dangerous sport. Although many dancers may fall and be hurt or killed, the king thought the most important job should be given to the bravest and skilled dancer. What a strange way! Then when the king watched, I tied each corner of my handkerchief (手帕) to a strong stick. I pushed the four sticks into the ground. My handkerchief was now under the rope but above the ground. “Your majesty,” I said, “any dancer who falls will now land on my handkerchief and not get hurt.” “You are a wise big one”, said the king. I gently put them on my hand and held it beside the rope so they had a good view of the dancers. One very skilled performer turned several cart wheels (车轮) on the road. Later that king made this man one of his chief advisers. One day, I said again, “Your majesty, please set me free.” This time he answered, “I will set you free, if you make six promises (承诺): ·You must help my country in the coming war. ·Before you visit the capital, you must give two hours warning. And my people can get out of the streets. ·You mustn’t knock or step on my people or their animals. ·You must carry important messages for me quickly to anywhere in Lilliput. ·You must help my workers carry heavy objects (物品). ·You must not leave the kingdom without my permission (允许). “I promise!” I told the king. “Then you may have your freedom. You can travel all over Lilliput and I am sure you will find it the most beautiful one you have ever seen.” he said. 18．How can a person become the king’s officer? A．By jumping on the rope.

D The famous scientist Stephen Hawking spoke at a science festival in 2017, “We are running out of space and the only places to go to other worlds... Spreading out (扩张) may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I believe that humans need to leave the earth.” Hawking was not alone in this opinion. Many scientists feel that the only way for humans to go far into the future is to take control of other planets. Mars (火星) is one of the most attractive (有吸引力的) places, humans have thought about. NASA, the United Arab Emirates, the private company Space X, and the organization Mars One all have plans to send humans there. “Either we spread the earth to other planets. Or we risk dying out,” Space X founder Elon Musk said. ▲ The most common argument (争论) against spreading is that it’s just too expensive or dangerous. It will take a lot of money and other effort just to get people there, let alone set up a place for them to live. It’s not even clear if humans could survive on Mars. Maybe all the time and money people would pour into a Mars programme would be better spent on more urgent ones here on the earth, like dealing with a problem while staying here on the earth would be much easier and less expensive than surviving on a new planet. What’s more, moving to a new planet could harm or destroy (破坏) anything that already lives there. Mars seems deserted, but it could possibly have microbial (微生物的) life. Human visitors may destroy this life or change or damage the environment on Mars forever. Some feel that’s too much of a risk to take. 22．The underlined sentence “Hawking was not alone in this opinion.” means ________. A．many people like Hawking, so he was not lonely B．Hawking was a great scientist with different opinions C．Hawking’s opinion was widely known by many people D．many people shared the same opinion with Hawking 23．Which of the following is the best to fill in ▲ in the passage? A．Then moving to Mars or other planets is on the plan. B．It is easy for humans to move to Mars or other planets. C．Most of the scientists from different countries support Elon’s ideas. D．But not everyone agrees moving to Mars or other places is such a great plan. 24．According to the passage, the reasons why some people are against spreading out to Mars are ________. ①There will be more space rubbish. ②It will cost too much money and effort. ③People will put themselves at risk if they live on Mars. ④Humans may destroy the possible life and environment on Mars. ⑤The earth is more comfortable for humans to live on. A．①②⑤ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．②④⑤ 25．What is the best title of the passage? A．Spread Out or Not B．Mars or other Planets C．Stephen Hawking’s Prediction D．Living a Better Life on the Earth. 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Paul was a rich young man.

Then, one day, he had a snowmobile accident that changed his life. The doctors said that he might never walk again. Charlie said they were wrong. Charlie is a big guy who is more than six feet tall and weighs 260 pounds. His size, along with his black hair, makes him look strong. He likes to wear tight T-shirts to show off. These days, Charlie is wearing baggy clothes to cover up the scars (伤疤) on his legs. It was hard to move around with his crutches (拐杖). The doctors aren’t sure when or if Charlie will ever fully recover (恢复). For me, the best thing about Charlie is that he doesn’t give up easily. In the beginning, when Charlie was in hospital, he pushed himself hard to practise walking again. When the doctor told Charlie to take a break, my cousin would say, “No way, man! I want to do this now.” Charlie kept pushing himself. Before long he was getting around pretty well without any help. However, I know Charlie. He’s not going to stop until he can walk without his crutches. Before the accident, Charlie liked riding his snowmobile and his motorcycle. These days he’s finding other ways to keep active. When the whole family got together during vacation, Charlie couldn’t play on our pickup football team. That didn’t stop him. He did a super job of teaching. My cousin Charlie has taught me two important lessons. First, I realize I should check out all the safety rules before I try something dangerous.

I believe that someday Charlie will walk the way he did before, just like he says he will. 54．What happened to Charlie? 55．What does the writer learn from his cousin Charlie? 56．What difficult situation did you meet before?
