Grosvenor Park, Chester
Every summer, Storyhouse theatre packs up their items and builds an entire amphitheatre (圆形剧场) in Grosvenor Park. This year’s programme sees an eclectic trio:
The Gangs of New York, The I’m portance of Being Earnest and The Wizard of Oz. I’m most excited by the first: a new adaptation written by Kieran Lynn and directed by John Young. I don’t think this story has ever been staged before and it seems like a wild pick for a summer outdoor show.

Four of the Most Beautiful Roads in the United StatesAlaska Highway, Alaska
In the early days of World War II, fears of a potential attack on the Territory of Alaska stimulated military officials to create the Alaska Highway.
Eagle-eyed motorists may spot caribou, moose and grizzly bears along the road. Those keen on eyeing bald eagles should plan a stop near the Canadian border at the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge. Its wetlands serve as a pit stop for 180 species of migratory birds, including America’s national bird, on their springtime journey towards the ice fields and glaciers at the road’s northernmost reaches.
Highway 101, California
“The 101” is a drivable California postcard, taking motorists past the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The route offers a chance to not only see some of the best that California has to offer, but also smell and taste it when the road cuts through the heart of Sonoma’s wine country. Over 400 different wineries there produce varieties of wine.
Hana Highway, Hawaii
The Hana Highway dates to the 16th century, when Native Hawaiians first paved the road with lava blocks. Today, the route is one of Maui’s greatest tourist draws, with its 617 switchbacks hiding some of the island’s best attractions. The natural pools formed by waterfalls at Waikamoi Stream are a swimmer’s dream. Locals may be driving much faster. So if you see a local person driving behind you, you should pull over as soon as you can.
Going-to-the-Sun Road, Montana
Millions of years ago, the area around Montana’s Glacier National Park was submerged under ice a mile deep. The most striking reminders of the region’s prehistoric origins are the 25 glaciers that give the park its name. The glaciers have been shrinking for decades, and more than 50 have disappeared entirely since the mid-1800s. Visitors may be flocking to Glacier to see these natural wonders before they vanish.
1.Which one below was built for military purpose?
A.Alaska Highway, Alaska. B.Highway 101, California.
C.Hana Highway, Hawaii. D.Going-to-the-Sun Road, Montana.
2.What can you do along Highway 101?
A.Appreciate glaciers. B.See wild animals.
C.Swim in a natural pool. D.Taste various wine.
3.Why should you pay attention to the locals while driving down Hana Highway?
A.They are repaving the road. B.They block the road with lava stones.
C.They are driving very fast. D.They are not friendly to the tourists.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.C

On a sunny morning in 2001, Jim, a skilled diver and ocean lover, was diving as usual around Palm Beach in the Bahamas when he spotted a giant tiger shark circling a few feet away. The shark, which he later named Emma, was clearly struggling in pain. Seeing Jim, Emma swam close to him seemingly quite on purpose. With great fear and curiosity, Jim checked and found a fishing hook in Emma’s mouth. Despite the obvious risks, he managed to pull the hook out, careful not to cause any further injury to the animal. Jim has since removed four other hooks from Emma’s mouth on several occasions and sometimes freed her from fishing lines or plastic bags. The two have become inseparable.
Every time Jim goes into the water in the area of Palm Beach, Emma comes around and rubs her head against him as a sign of affection (喜爱). It’s not the kind of behavior most people would expect from tiger sharks, which could easily tear a person apart. “When you suddenly come across a huge shark, it seems like it might end your life,” Jim said. “What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient (有感情的) animal just like cats and dogs.”
Emma will always recognize Jim every time he dives in her area even if he changes diving equipment. Over time, she has learned his hand signals — an invitation to get her head rubbed and Jim claims that she started acting like a playful dog who loves being petted.
“What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient (有感情的) animal just like cats and dogs.” Jim said. “To have a connection that lasts the entire time you`re in the water is so moving and so influential. One of the best things that have happened to me is the discovery of the affectionate aspect of this tiger shark.”
1.What might be the reason why Emma approached Jim initially?
A.To greet him. B.To seek assistance.
C.To ask for food. D.To make friends with him.
2.What makes Emma unique according to Jim?
A.Her enormous body. B.Her feeding ability.
C.Her high research value. D.Her pet-like character.
3.What can we learn from the text?
A.Emma can read Jim`s sign language.
B.Emma has never attacked human beings.
C.Jim once saved Emma from a deadly disease.
D.Jim has removed four hooks from Emma`s mouth.
4.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.A Diver and His Odd Friend
B.An Exciting Diving Experience
C.Jim: A Person Devoted to Ocean Protection
D.Palm Beach: An Ideal Base for Shark Watching
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.A 4.A
【导语】本文的体裁是记叙文。文章讲述了潜水员Jim与一只名为Emma的虎鲨之间的特殊友谊。
1.推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Seeing Jim, Emma swam close to him seemingly quite on purpose. With great fear and curiosity, Jim checked and found a fishing hook in Emma’s mouth. (看到吉姆,艾玛似乎是故意游向他。带着极大的恐惧和好奇,吉姆检查了一下,发现艾玛嘴里叼着一个鱼钩。)”可知,Emma靠近Jim是为了寻求帮助。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient animal just like cats and dogs. (艾玛的特别之处在于她充满爱心和深情。她不是一个没有头脑的杀手,而是像猫和狗一样有感情的动物。)”可知,Jim认为Emma的特别之处在于她像宠物一样的性格。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Over time, she has learned his hand signals — an invitation to get her head rubbed and Jim claims that she started acting like a playful dog who loves being petted. (随着时间的推移,她学会了他的手势——邀请她摸摸头的手势,吉姆说她开始表现得像一只喜欢被抚摸的顽皮的狗。)”可知,艾玛能读懂吉姆的手语。故选A。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章最后一段中的“To have a connection that lasts the entire time you`re in the water is so moving and so influential. One of the best things that have happened to me is the discovery of the affectionate aspect of this tiger shark. (你在水里的整个时间都有一种联系,这种联系是如此感人,如此有影响力。发生在我身上的最好的事情之一就是发现了这只虎鲨深情的一面。)”可知,文章讲述了潜水员Jim和虎鲨Emma之间的特殊友谊,因此“A Diver and His Odd Friend (潜水员和他的奇怪朋友)”是最佳标题。故选A。

Many climbers consider a selfie from the highest point on the planet to be the ultimate award. They call this their “Qomolangma selfie”. To get it, more than a few people have risked everything and tragically, many have died during the climb, with their precious images still locked in their cameras.
But as a professional climber who’s spent the past. two decades pursuing summits (顶峰) all over the world, I had refused the idea of an expedition (探险) to Mount Qomolangma. The mountain seemed to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing.
The first mountain I attempted to climb was just a 500-foot cliff. I, together with a friend managed to make our way a couple hundred feet up the nearly vertical (垂直) wall to the safety of a small ledge. Sitting side by side, we watched the sun dip toward the horizon, amazed by what we had done and wondered how we were going to get down. The thrill of doing something most people wouldn’t consider, the discovery of the view at the top and the bond my friend and I shared all came to define the meaning of what I have been seeking in the mountains ever since.
I would have never changed my mind, were it not for an old friend and his devotion to one of mountaineering’s greatest mysteries — whether Mallory, a legendary British climber, might have reached the top in 1924 — nearly 30 years before Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay. The camera he likely carried had never been found. That’s how I found myself searching for a long-lost climber and, just maybe, history’s first highest point selfie.
My expedition didn’t find the camera, but it did cause me to reconsider Mount Qomolangma. As I packed for Xizang, I expected that our state-of-the-art equipment and bottled oxygen would make the climb manageable, perhaps easy. Actually, when the top photo was taken, I was more exhausted than I’d ever been on any expedition. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory, but to anyone who had the drive to push themselves up this route.
1.What are most climbers’ understanding of “Qomolangma selfie”?
A.It comes at a big cost. B.It shows their respect for nature.
C.It is inspired by passion. D.It brings a sense of achievement.
2.Why did the author mention his first climbing experience?
A.To stress the difficulty in climbing the cliff.
B.To explain his focus on mountain climbing.
C.To express his thoughts on “Qomolangma selfie”.
D.To meet his desire to climb Mount Qomolangma.
3.Which word can best describe the author’s expedition to Mount Qomolangma?
A.Respectable. B.Challenging. C.Enjoyable. D.Charming.
4.What does the author seem to convey in the text?
A.Not all expeditions are worth the effort.
B.The meaning of climbing varies greatly.
C.Perseverance lies behind “Qomolangma selfie”.
D.Think twice before climbing Mount Qomolangma.
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.B 4.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文作者自述了他通过攀登珠峰改变了之前对珠峰的看法以及体会到登顶的艰辛与所需要的毅力。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段的“Many climbers consider a selfie from the highest point on the planet to be the ultimate award.(许多登山者认为从地球最高点自拍是最高的奖励。)”可知,许多登山者将在地球上最高点的自拍视作终极荣誉,由此可推断,珠峰自拍会给他们带来成就感,故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段的“The mountain seemed to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing.(这座山似乎代表了我所热爱和尊重的攀岩的对立面。)”可知,起初作者对于攀登珠峰是抗拒的,再由第三段的“The first mountain I attempted to climb was just a 500-foot cliff. I, together with a friend managed to make our way a couple hundred feet up the nearly vertical wall to the. safety of a small ledge. Sitting side by side, we watched the sun dip toward the horizon, amazed by what we had done and wondered how we were going to get down. The thrill of doing something most people wouldn’t consider, the discovery of the view at the top and the bond my friend and I shared all came to define the meaning of what I have been seeking in the mountain s ever since.(我尝试攀登的第一座山只是一座500英尺高的悬崖。我和一个朋友一起爬了几百英尺,爬上了几乎垂直的墙。安全的小岩架。我们肩并肩坐着,看着太阳向地平线下沉,对我们所做的一切感到惊讶,并想知道我们该如何下山。做一件大多数人不会想到的事情所带来的兴奋、山顶美景的发现以及我和朋友之间的纽带,这些都定义了我在这座山所追寻的意义。)”可知,本段主要介绍了作者第一次的登山经历并在最后一句话点明了他登山所追寻的意义与关注点,所以,他提及第一次爬山经历的目的是为了说明其登山的关注点,故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Actually, when the top photo was taken, I was more exhausted than I’d ever been on any expedition. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory, but to anyone who had the drive to push themselves up this route.(事实上,当我拍下第一张照片时,我比任何一次探险都要疲惫。一路上,我不断地脱帽致敬,不仅向马洛里致敬,也向所有有动力走这条路的人致敬。)”可知,作者成功登顶珠峰时比之前任何一次攀登经历都要筋疲力尽,从作者的感受可以看出,此次珠峰之行是有挑战性的,故选B。
4.推理判断题。通读全文,根据第二段的“The mountain seemed to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing.(这座山似乎代表了我所热爱和尊重的攀岩的对立面。)”和最后一段的“Actually, when the top photo was taken, I was more exhausted than I’d ever been on any expedition. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory, but to anyone who had the drive to push themselves up this route.(事实上,当我拍下第一张照片时,我比任何一次探险都要疲惫。一路上,我不断地脱帽致敬,不仅向马洛里致敬,也向所有有动力走这条路的人致敬。)”可知,作者起初抗拒攀登珠峰,后来跟随朋友成功登顶,此次珠峰之旅使他切身地体验到了攀登珠峰的艰辛与对人毅力的考验,这种体验与感受使他一路不断地脱帽致敬以往的登山者们,所以珠峰自拍的背后是对毅力的考验,故选C。

There comes a time for every family when the tables turn and the parent has to answer to the child. Mine came recently when my wife and I stayed with our son in Los Angeles — our first visit in several years and the longest since he moved west in 2014. A whole week under his roof!
“Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Nathaniel warned on our first night. “Don’t pull extra paper towels to wipe the kitchen appliances!” I was instructed to use the dishcloth, which didn’t seem clean. More rules followed. Not to leave shoes sitting out. Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dog in the morning — it will warm up when we get to the park. Don’t drink too much juice.
At first I wondered how I’d raised such a tyrant. Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Nathaniel when he was young. “Don’t drink cold water! Clean your bedroom!” I shouted. “Someday, you’ll have a home of your own and can live however you want!” Now it was payback time. So I smilingly followed Nathaniel’s family rules.
In the next few days, he cleaned dishes after dinner, assuming he would do a better job than my wife and me. He also set our daily outings, including an inspired trip to the Autry Museum. And he willingly drove everywhere, sparing me the trouble of Los Angeles traffic...
We were walking along El Matador Beach our last afternoon and hit an extended range of rocks. I suggested stopping there, because it’s too hard for me to mount the rocks. Nathaniel wouldn’t hear of it and encouraged me across one large stone to the next, patiently telling me where to place my feet and hands as ocean waves came close. I was terrified, but after a couple hundred yards we made it to a fresh san dy stretch. “You did it! I’m really proud,” he said, smiling, as if I’d just learned to ride a bike. It was then that I knew for sure that the son has taken on the role of a father.
1.What happened to the author when he first came to his son’s home?
A.He had to answer calls. B.He had trouble fitting into local society.
C.He knocked over the table. D.He met with different family rules.
2.What does the underlined word “tyrant” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The son. B.The pet. C.The family. D.The habit.
3.What can we infer about Nathaniel from the last two paragraphs?
A.He is hard to get on with. B.He is terrified of challenges.
C.He has risen to fatherhood. D.He doubts his parenting ability.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.How to get along well with parents.
B.How to observe others’ household rules.
C.Children brought up, parents let them go.
D.Parent-child role turned, payback time comes.
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.C 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了作者和妻子去看望多年未见、居住在洛杉矶的儿子,在儿子家中居住期间,作者感受到了被儿子“管教”的滋味,意识到儿子已经承担起了父亲的角色。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,’ Nathaniel warned on our first night. ‘Don’t pull extra paper towels to wipe the kitchen appliances! ’ I was instructed to use the dishcloth, which didn’t seem clean. More rules followed. Not to leave shoes sitting out. Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dog in the morning — it will warm up when we get to the park. Don’t drink too much juice.”(“爸爸,刷牙的时候不要让水一直流着,”内森尼尔在我们来的第一个晚上就警告我。“不要用额外的纸巾去擦厨房电器!”我被要求使用抹布,但那看起来并不干净。后面还有更多的规矩。不要把鞋子放在外面。早上遛狗的时候不要戴脖套——到公园的时候它就会暖和起来的。不要喝太多果汁。)可知,作者第一次去儿子家时,遇到了不一样的家庭规矩。故选D项。
2.词义猜测题。根据第二段中儿子对作者要求“Not to leave shoes sitting out. Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dog in the morning — it will warm up when we get to the park. Don’t drink too much juice.”(不要把鞋子放在外面。早上遛狗的时候不要戴脖套——到公园的时候它就会暖和起来的。不要喝太多果汁。)和第三段“At first I wondered how I’d raised such a tyrant.”(一开始,我在想我怎么养了这样一个tyrant。)可推知,作者一开始不理解儿子为什么有这么多规矩,觉得自己养了个“暴君”,而tyrant指的就是自己的儿子。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In the next few days, he cleaned dishes after dinner, assuming he would do a better job than my wife and me. He also set our daily outings, including an inspired trip to the Autry Museum.”(在接下来的几天里,他在晚饭后洗碗,认为他会比我和妻子做得更好。他还安排了我们每天的郊游,包括一次去奥特里博物馆的灵感之旅。)和最后一段“We were walking along El Matador Beach our last afternoon and hit an extended range of rocks. I suggested stopping there, because it’s too hard for me to mount the rocks. Nathaniel wouldn’t hear of it and encouraged me across one large stone to the next, patiently telling me where to place my feet and hands as ocean waves came close. I was terrified, but after a couple hundred yards we made it to a fresh sandy stretch. 'You did it! I’m really proud,' he said, smiling, as if I’d just learned to ride a bike. It was then that I knew for sure that the son has taken on the role of a father.”(最后一个下午,我们沿着埃尔马塔多尔海滩散步,遇到了一片延伸的岩石。我建议停在那里,因为对我来说爬上岩石太难了。内森尼尔根本不听,鼓励我跨过一块大石头到另一块,耐心地告诉我当海浪靠近时,我的手和脚应该放在哪里。我很害怕,但是走了几百码之后,我们来到了一片新鲜的沙地。“你做到了!我真的很骄傲,”他笑着说,就好像我刚学会骑自行车一样。就在那时,我确信儿子已经承担起了父亲的角色。)可推知,Nathaniel已经承担起了照顾父亲的责任,就像父亲一样,说明他已经成长为了一位父亲。故选C项。

I teach English in developing countries. One day, while I was traveling alone, I saw a teenager selling paintings on the street. He called out to me, saying that he made all the pictures himself, and he was saving up money for school. In a different city, I might have bought one, but I figured that he could be some sort of scam artist, so I thanked him and kept walking. As I left, he asked if I had just a bit of change to spare. I did, but I told him no.
After a few hours of shopping and roaming, I found myself back on the same street. Everyone was shouting and everyone looked really excited, and it seemed they were celebrating a special festival. I tried to leave down a side alley, but it was full of people shoving each other. A group of at least six policemen was walking right toward the crowd. They were clearly trying to keep the order, and I had walked right into the middle of it.
Suddenly, I heard a voice yell at me from a half-opened door. “Hey! ”I didn’t know who it was, but I knew right away that this was someone trying to help me. I rushed toward the door and saw the face of that teenaged artist. He opened the door enough for me to enter, and I did. He said he’d recognized me from before. I asked him why he wanted to help me, and he just shrugged.
As we waited for the noises outside to die down, he gave me a tour of the place. It was truly beautiful. He didn’t try to sell me anything or demand any sort of payment for his help. When finally it was a good time to leave, I asked if I could buy one of his multicolored landscapes, and it was a way to have something to remember him by. I still have that landscape up on my wall. When I look at it, I think about the warm-hearted young artist.

1.推理判断题。根据第一段“One day, while I was traveling alone, I saw a teenager selling paintings on the street. He called out to me, saying that he made all the pictures himself, and he was saving up money for school. In a different city, I might have bought one, but I figured that he could be some sort of scam artist, so I thanked him and kept walking. As I left, he asked if I had just a bit of change to spare. I did, but I told him no.(有一天,当我独自旅行时,我看到一个十几岁的孩子在街上卖画。他大声叫我,说所有的画都是他自己画的,他正在为上学存钱。在另一个城市,我可能买了一幅,但我想他可能是某种骗子,所以我感谢他,继续走。我离开时,他问我是否有零钱。我有,但我告诉他没有)”可推知,作者认为对方是骗子,所以即使自己有零钱,也告诉对方没有,即作者以为自己遇到了行骗行为。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段“I tried to leave down a side alley, but it was full of people shoving each other. A group of at least six policemen was walking right toward the crowd. They were clearly trying to keep the order, and I had walked right into the middle of it.(我试图沿着一条小巷离开,但里面挤满了互相推搡的人。至少有六名警察正朝人群走去。他们显然是在努力维持秩序,而我正好走到了中间)”可知,街上非常拥挤,而作者正好走到中间,由此可知,作者被困在了人群中。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段“I didn’t know who it was, but I knew right away that this was someone trying to help me. I rushed toward the door and saw the face of that teenaged artist. He opened the door enough for me to enter, and I did. He said he’d recognized me from before. I asked him why he wanted to help me, and he just shrugged.(我不知道是谁,但我立刻知道这是有人想帮我。我冲向门口,看到了那个十几岁艺术家的脸。他打开门让我进去,我也进去了。他说他之前就认出我了。我问他为什么想帮我,他只是耸耸肩)”可知,这位十几岁的艺术家认出了作者,所以为作者打开门,提供帮助。故选C。
4.细节理解题。根据第四段“When finally it was a good time to leave, I asked if I could buy one of his multicolored landscapes, and it was a way to have something to remember him by. I still have that landscape up on my wall. When I look at it, I think about the warm-hearted young artist.(终于到了离开的好时机,我问是否可以买一幅他的多彩风景画,这是一种纪念他的方式。我的墙上还挂着那幅风景画。当我看到它时,我想到了这位好心的年轻艺术家)”可知,作者买了一幅这位年轻艺术家的画,这是为了纪念他,每次看到画,就会回忆起他的好心,由此可知,作者印象最深的是这位年轻艺术家的善良。故选D。

Liz Murray’s life began in the Bronx in1980 in a pretty typical way — she had two parents and a sister, and she had a home to live in with them. But that life quickly turned bad.
While the parents thoughtlessly spent almost every penny, Liz and her sister almost starved to death.
Liz started her education in 1985. She lived in a dirty home and was self-conscious of the unpleasant smell that she gave off from her unwashed body and dirty clothing. The shame caused her to choose not to attend school and stay home.
When Liz was 11, her mother suffered a serious illness. The following year, Liz’s parents separated. Her sister was with her mother, while Liz decided to stay with her father. At age 13, Child Welfare took Liz into care. Eventually, Liz was returned to her mother. Liz began attending junior high school and became friends with her classmates.
In 1996, Liz’s mother passed away, and after that she became homeless. She suddenly realized, “If I could have a family and a home one night and all of them were gone the next that means that life has the ability to change. That means that just as change happens to me so I can cause change in my life.” This caused Liz to make her first real promise — to high school.
She heard about alternative (另类的) high schools and went to as many school interviews as she could. After repeated rejections, Liz met Perry Weiner, the head of Humanities Preparatory Academy. Perry offered her admission to the school, where she finished a four-year high school program in just two years while still living on the streets. From pumping gas at gas stations, to working as a waitress, to walking dogs, she did just about anything to earn money so that she could survive and pay for her study.
Perry later encouraged her to apply to Harvard University, telling her although it was a goal that seemed out of reach, it was not impossible, Liz took his advice. Not only did she graduate at the top of her class, but she also won a scholarship. Her success didn’t stop there. All her hard work paid off when she was accepted by Harvard. Now Liz’s an inspirational speaker.
1.What can we learn about Liz?
A.She was born into a broken family.
B.She received little care from her parents.
C.She has had no fixed place to live since birth.
D.She had to go to a child welfare organization at 11.
2.Why was Liz unwilling to go to school when she was a pupil?

C.She had to work to support the family. D.She wanted to save money for the family.
3.What made Liz so determined to attend high school?
A.The death of her mother. B.The influence of her friend.

4.What does Liz’s story tell us?
A.Love can make a difference. B.Nothing is easy at the top level.
C.It always seems impossible until it’s done. D.Gratitude is the fastest shortcut to happiness.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.A 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Liz Murray的生活经历,她从一个贫困的家庭环境中,通过自己的努力,最终进入哈佛大学并成为一名鼓舞人心的演讲者。
1.细节理解题。由第二段“While the parents thoughtlessly spent almost every penny, Liz and her sister almost starved to death. (当父母轻率地花掉几乎每一分钱时,Liz和她的妹妹几乎要饿死了)”和第三段中“She lived in a dirty home and was self-conscious of the unpleasant smell that she gave off from her unwashed body and dirty clothing. (她住在一个肮脏的家里,对自己未洗的身体和脏衣服散发出的难闻气味很敏感)”可知,结合Liz父母的所作所为和她脏兮兮的状况,Liz几乎没有得到父母的照顾。故选B项。
2.推理判断题。由第三段中“She lived in a dirty home and was self-conscious of the unpleasant smell that she gave off from her unwashed body and dirty clothing. The shame caused her to choose not to attend school and stay home. (她住在一个肮脏的家里,对自己未洗的身体和脏衣服散发出的难闻气味很敏感。羞愧使她选择不上学,呆在家里)”可知,Liz因为自己脏兮兮而感到羞愧,应该是害怕被嘲笑,小时候才不愿意上学。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。由第五段中“In 1996, Liz’s mother passed away, and after that she became homeless. (1996年,Liz的母亲去世,之后她无家可归)”和“This caused Liz to make her first real promise — to high school. (这让Liz做出了第一个真正的承诺——上高中)”可知,Liz母亲的去世让她下定决心要上高中。故选A项。
4.推理判断题。由最后一段中“Perry later encouraged her to apply to Harvard University, telling her although it was a goal that seemed out of reach, it was not impossible, Liz took his advice. Not only did she graduate at the top of her class, but she also won a scholarship. Her success didn’t stop there. All her hard work paid off when she was accepted by Harvard. Now Liz’s an inspirational speaker. (Perry后来鼓励她申请哈佛大学,并告诉她,尽管这个目标似乎遥不可及,但并非不可能,Liz听从了他的建议。她不仅以全班第一名的成绩毕业,而且还获得了奖学金。她的成功并不止于此。当她被哈佛大学录取时,她所有的努力都得到了回报。现在Liz是一位励志演说家。)”和全文内容可知,Liz Murray在艰难的环境下最终取得成功,实现当初几乎遥不可及的目标,Liz的故事告诉我们,在完成之前,它看起来总是不可能的,只要我们努力,没有什么是不可能的。故选C项。

Within 60 seconds of hearing a bell ring, firefighters are dressed and rushing toward a high-rise on fire. They have to head inside, knowing that floors could fall down under them and roofs could fall on their heads. One wrong decision might mean death.
Who would sign up for a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. He used to sit in a high-rise office of a software company in San Diego, California. Now he is trained to break into rooms full of blinding smoke and overwhelming heat and come up with a rescue strategy.
“I wanted to learn new and practical skills and have a job that varied day by day.” That’s quite an understatement to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while attacking a fire. But Telfer says that fires and tension can be conquered in the same way: ongoing physical and mental training.
Telfer was a runner in college, but nowadays he builds up his lung ability for life-threatening conditions instead of races. He might climb hundreds of steps, wearing 34 kilograms of gear (装备), including oxygen tanks. He may carry sufferers to safety. No matter what he does, he must control his breathing.
His survival will depend on more than body fitness. Firefighters must have sufficient mental preparation. To respond to disasters effectively, they study a wide range of subjects such as emergency (紧急) medicine, structural (结构的) design and chemical reactions. They practice quickly judging the changing conditions of a fire. “It is why we love the job,” Telfer says. “We are continuously learning.”
Going from being a software specialist to a first responder was quite a transition for Telfer. Never could he have imagined the challenges he would face. But he says, “Not once have I ever felt that it was not the right job for me.” Danger might be waiting as he heads to work each day. But his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the roar of a great fire.
1.Why did Telfer change his job?
A.He would like to challenge himself. B.He wanted to get a high paying job.
C.He had been dreaming of being a firefighter. D.He was unfit for working in a software company.
2.What do firefighters need to survive the fire?
A.They need strong lung ability for races.
B.They need to study how to design buildings.
C.They need more body health than mental preparation.
D.They need mental preparation in addition to body health.
3.What can we learn about Telfer from the last paragraph?
A.He regrets leaving the software company.
B.He has faced many difficulties in his former job.
C.He finds his job challenging but still a right choice.
D.He once thought of giving up the job as a firefighter.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Firefighting Hero B.Firefighters To The Rescue
C.Firefighter: A Challenging Job D.From A Software Specialist To A First Responder
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.C 4.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Sam Telfer曾经是一名软件专家,后来他放弃了原本的工作,去当了一名消防员。描述了他对这份工作的感受。
1.细节理解题。根据第三段“I wanted to learn new and practical skills and have a job that varied day by day. (我想学习新的实用技能,找一份每天都在变化的工作。)”可知,特尔弗换工作是因为他想挑战自己。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“His survival will depend on more than body fitness. Firefighters must have sufficient mental preparation. (他的生存不仅取决于身体健康。消防队员必须有充分的心理准备。)”可知,除了身体健康,消防员还需要心理准备。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Going from being a software specialist to a first responder was quite a transition for Telfer. Never could he have imagined the challenges he would face. But he says, “Not once have I ever felt that it was not the right job for me.” (对特尔弗来说,从软件专家到急救人员是一个相当大的转变。他从来没有想到他将面临的挑战。但他说:“我从来没有觉得这不是适合我的工作。”)”可知,特尔弗觉得这份工作很有挑战性,但仍然是一个正确的选择。故选C。
4.主旨大意题。根据第二段“Who would sign up for a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. He used to sit in a high-rise office of a software company in San Diego, California. Now he is trained to break into rooms full of blinding smoke and overwhelming heat and come up with a rescue strategy. (谁会报名做那样的工作?问问消防员山姆·特尔弗吧。他曾经坐在加州圣地亚哥一家软件公司的高层办公室里。现在,他接受的训练是闯入充满烟雾和酷热的房间,并提出救援策略。)”结合文章主要讲述了Sam Telfer曾经是一名软件专家,后来他放弃了原本的工作,去当了一名消防员。描述了他对这份工作的感受。可知,D选项“从软件专家到急救人员”最符合文章标题。故选D。

I used to behave like a superhero with my family. But talking with a stranger was very difficult for me. I stayed like this for a long time. But conditions seemed to change after I attended college.
One day when I was doing some research on the Internet for my college project, I found a video on how to deal with shyness. The person in the video explained everything about shyness and said something that inspired me. He said, “No one is born with confidence. They develop it with time. It is a learnable skill. Anyone can learn it.”
Due to my newly found motivation (动机), I watched hundreds of personal development videos in 2 to 3 days. I also ordered some personal development books and read online articles. Only consuming information was not going to change my life. I knew I would have to perform it.
I wanted to change very much. So, I created a proper list of how to meet with people. In the list, I mentioned everything from eye contact to smile, handshake, asking questions, etc. I tried to talk with a stranger every day and got mixed up even more with my classmates.
Now I wanted to change my life completely. That’s why I tried to conquer my biggest fear: stage fear. Luckily, there was a public speaking competition at my college. I asked every classmate to give me company. But not even one student was ready.
I wanted to do it so badly that I ended up doing it alone, which was a fearless move for me. On the competition day, I was very scared. I knew that if I didn’t conquer this fear, it would stay with me for my whole life. After stepping on stage I found it was not that frightening. I did my best and I got 3rd prize out of 31 students. My teachers were congratulating me. I was so happy that I finally made it.
1.What stirred up the author’s determination to change?
A.An inspiring video. B.A college project.
C.Articles on shyness. D.Books on personal development.
2.What does the underlined word “consuming” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Taking in. B.Taking advantage of. C.Using up. D.Being addicted to.
3.What can be inferred about the speaking competition?
A.31 students were awarded 3rd prize. B.It helped the author remove stage fear.
C.It was the biggest challenge for the author. D.Teamwork was required in the competition.
4.What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A.The early bird catches the worm. B.Actions speak louder than words.
C.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D.All things are difficult before they are easy.
【答案】1.A 2.A 3.B 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者曾经害怕与陌生人交流,但在大学期间,受到一段关于如何应对害羞的视频启发,开始积极寻求改变。作者通过观看视频、阅读书籍和文章,学习社交技巧,并尝试与陌生人交流。最后,作者鼓起勇气参加了学校的公开演讲比赛,克服了舞台恐惧,并获得第三名。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“One day when I was doing some research on the Internet for my college project, I found a video on how to deal with shyness. The person in the video explained everything about shyness and said something that inspired me.”(有一天,当我在网上为我的大学项目做一些研究时,我发现了一个关于如何应对害羞的视频。视频中的人解释了关于害羞的一切,并说了一些激励我的话。)可知,作者在看了一个关于如何应对害羞的视频后,被视频中的话所激励,从而激起了他改变的决心。故选A项。
2.词句猜测题。根据划线词前“I watched hundreds of personal development videos in 2 to 3 days. I also ordered some personal development books and read online articles.”(我在2到3天内看了数百个关于个人发展的视频。我还订购了一些个人发展方面的书籍,并在网上阅读了一些文章。)可知,作者观看了大量关于个人发展的视频,阅读了大量相关书籍和文章。结合划线词所在句“Only consuming information was not going to change my life. I knew I would have to perform it.”(仅仅consuming信息并不能改变我的生活。我知道我必须去实践它。)可推知,作者意识到只是通过上文所述方式去“获取信息”是远远不够的,还要去实践它。故划线词consuming的意思是“摄入,吸收”,与taking in同义。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段中“Now I wanted to change my life completely. That’s why I tried to conquer my biggest fear: stage fear. Luckily, there was a public speaking competition at my college.”(现在我想彻底改变我的生活。这就是为什么我试图克服我最大的恐惧:舞台恐惧。幸运的是,在我的大学里有一个公开演讲比赛。)和最后一段中“On the competition day, I was very scared. I knew that if I didn’t conquer this fear, it would stay with me for my whole life. After stepping on stage I found it was not that frightening. I did my best and I got 3rd prize out of 31 students. My teachers were congratulating me. I was so happy that I finally made it.”(在比赛那天,我很害怕。我知道,如果我不克服这种恐惧,它将伴随我一生。登上舞台后,我发现它并没有那么可怕。我尽了最大的努力,在31名学生中获得了三等奖。我的老师在祝贺我。我很高兴我终于做到了。)可推知,这次演讲比赛帮助作者克服了舞台恐惧。故选B项。
4.推理判断题。根据全文内容,作者通过自己的经历告诉我们,只要有决心和行动,就没有什么是不可能的。文章讲述作者从害怕与人交往到最终克服舞台恐惧并获得演讲比赛第三名,这一转变过程充分说明了“有志者事竟成”的道理。因此,我们可以从作者的经历中学到的是“Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.”(有志者事竟成)。故选C项。

A monarch butterfly landed on the palm of my open hand. I put my hand high above my head. The butterfly took off, flying into the sky and disappearing.
That moment was in 1993. It was the first time I had ever tagged a butterfly. I got hooked. Over the years, I observed its change from egg to adult. I watched with eyes wide when the caterpillar would start to shed its skin and show its inner green body. My passion for science inspired by these small insects continued to Kenyon College in Ohio. There I was one of the few girls who majored in biology.
I got involved in a long-term program fueled by generations of energetic volunteers. They tagged monarchs, monitored their migration south, and helped to give lectures at the local state park. It helped show patterns in monarch migration. Monitoring monarchs in the same location, year after year, allowed us to associate climate change with increasing delayed migrations, which had put the monarchs at risk.
In another program, we visited a monarch reserve in March 2007. There, we tagged more than 3,000 monarchs, talked to hundreds of interested visitors, and witnessed the amazing movement of monarchs. It was a transformational experience. More and more visitors came every spring. The monarchs bring in thousands of tourists each year, helping the local economy and providing new ideas to protect the remaining forest.
Monarch butterflies, and science programs supporting them, helped draw me into science over 20 years ago. Other projects like Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count have also inspired other young students to embark on careers in science. Engaging in any manner of projects, like monitoring sea level rise, contributes to science and helps get students of any age outdoors. Remember: science isn’t just for scientists.
1.What motivated the author to study biology in the college?
A.Playing a butterfly game. B.The monarch’s migration.
C.Her interest in butterflies. D.Feeding monarchs at home.
2.What might be a cause of monarch’s delayed migrations?
A.Loss of forests. B.Lack of food sources.
C.Climate change. D.Tourism development.
3.What does the author think of their visit to the monarch reserve in 2007?
A.Well-organized. B.Rewarding. C.Laborious. D.Boring.
4.Why does the author mention Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count?
A.To show who are real scientists. B.To prove her predictions.
C.To advocate animal protection. D.To show its inspiring effect.
【答案】1.C 2.C 3.B 4.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者为何从事蝴蝶保护工作以及他们的保护工作所取得的进展。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段“That moment was in 1993. It was the first time I had ever tagged a butterfly. I got hooked. Over the years, I observed its change from egg to adult. I watched with eyes wide when the caterpillar would start to shed its skin and show its inner green body. My passion for science inspired by these small insects continued to Kenyon College in Ohio. There I was one of the few girls who majored in biology.(那是在1993年。这是我第一次给蝴蝶做标记。我被迷住了。多年来,我观察了它从卵到成虫的变化。当毛毛虫开始蜕皮,露出它绿色的身体时,我睁大了眼睛。这些小昆虫激发了我对科学的热情,这种热情一直延续到俄亥俄州的凯尼恩学院。在那里,我是少数几个主修生物的女孩之一)”可知,对蝴蝶的兴趣促使作者在大学学习生物学。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“Monitoring monarchs in the same location, year after year, allowed us to associate climate change with increasing delayed migrations, which had put the monarchs at risk.(年复一年地在同一地点监测帝王蝶,使我们能够将气候变化与越来越多的延迟迁徙联系起来,这使黑脉金斑蝶处于危险之中)”可知,气候变化导致黑脉金斑蝶推迟迁徙。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段“It was a transformational experience. More and more visitors came every spring. The monarchs bring in thousands of tourists each year, helping the local economy and providing new ideas to protect the remaining forest.(这是一次转变的经历。每年春天来的游客越来越多。帝王蝶每年带来成千上万的游客,促进了当地的经济发展,并为保护剩余的森林提供了新的思路)”可知,作者认为他们2007年的黑脉金斑蝶保护区之行是有益的。故选B。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Other projects like Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count have also inspired other young students to embark on careers in science. Engaging in any manner of projects, like monitoring sea level rise, contributes to science and helps get students of any age outdoors.(其他项目,如奥杜邦的圣诞鸟类计数,也激励了其他年轻学生从事科学事业。参与任何形式的项目,比如监测海平面上升,都对科学有贡献,并有助于让任何年龄的学生都能到户外活动)”可知,作者提到奥杜邦的圣诞鸟数是为了显示其鼓舞人心的效果。故选D。

Four of the Most Beautiful Roads in the United StatesAlaska Highway, Alaska
In the early days of World War II, fears of a potential attack on the Territory of Alaska stimulated military officials to create the Alaska Highway.
Eagle-eyed motorists may spot caribou, moose and grizzly bears along the road. Those keen on eyeing bald eagles should plan a stop near the Canadian border at the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge. Its wetlands serve as a pit stop for 180 species of migratory birds, including America’s national bird, on their springtime journey towards the ice fields and glaciers at the road’s northernmost reaches.
Highway 101, California
“The 101” is a drivable California postcard, taking motorists past the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The route offers a chance to not only see some of the best that California has to offer, but also smell and taste it when the road cuts through the heart of Sonoma’s wine country. Over 400 different wineries there produce varieties of wine.
Hana Highway, Hawaii
The Hana Highway dates to the 16th century, when Native Hawaiians first paved the road with lava blocks. Today, the route is one of Maui’s greatest tourist draws, with its 617 switchbacks hiding some of the island’s best attractions. The natural pools formed by waterfalls at Waikamoi Stream are a swimmer’s dream. Locals may be driving much faster. So if you see a local person driving behind you, you should pull over as soon as you can.
Going-to-the-Sun Road, Montana
Millions of years ago, the area around Montana’s Glacier National Park was submerged under ice a mile deep. The most striking reminders of the region’s prehistoric origins are the 25 glaciers that give the park its name. The glaciers have been shrinking for decades, and more than 50 have disappeared entirely since the mid-1800s. Visitors may be flocking to Glacier to see these natural wonders before they vanish.
1.Which one below was built for military purpose?
A.Alaska Highway, Alaska. B.Highway 101, California.
C.Hana Highway, Hawaii. D.Going-to-the-Sun Road, Montana.
2.What can you do along Highway 101?

On a sunny morning in 2001, Jim, a skilled diver and ocean lover, was diving as usual around Palm Beach in the Bahamas when he spotted a giant tiger shark circling a few feet away. The shark, which he later named Emma, was clearly struggling in pain. Seeing Jim, Emma swam close to him seemingly quite on purpose. With great fear and curiosity, Jim checked and found a fishing hook in Emma’s mouth. Despite the obvious risks, he managed to pull the hook out, careful not to cause any further injury to the animal. Jim has since removed four other hooks from Emma’s mouth on several occasions and sometimes freed her from fishing lines or plastic bags. The two have become inseparable.
Every time Jim goes into the water in the area of Palm Beach, Emma comes around and rubs her head against him as a sign of affection (喜爱). It’s not the kind of behavior most people would expect from tiger sharks, which could easily tear a person apart. “When you suddenly come across a huge shark, it seems like it might end your life,” Jim said. “What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient (有感情的) animal just like cats and dogs.”
Emma will always recognize Jim every time he dives in her area even if he changes diving equipment. Over time, she has learned his hand signals — an invitation to get her head rubbed and Jim claims that she started acting like a playful dog who loves being petted.
“What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient (有感情的) animal just like cats and dogs.” Jim said. “To have a connection that lasts the entire time you`re in the water is so moving and so influential. One of the best things that have happened to me is the discovery of the affectionate aspect of this tiger shark.”

A.To greet him. B.To seek assistance.
C.To ask for food. D.To make friends with him.
2.What makes Emma unique according to Jim?

Many climbers consider a selfie from the highest point on the planet to be the ultimate award. They call this their “Qomolangma selfie”. To get it, more than a few people have risked everything and tragically, many have died during the climb, with their precious images still locked in their cameras.
But as a professional climber who’s spent the past. two decades pursuing summits (顶峰) all over the world, I had refused the idea of an expedition (探险) to Mount Qomolangma. The mountain seemed to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing.
The first mountain I attempted to climb was just a 500-foot cliff. I, together with a friend managed to make our way a couple hundred feet up the nearly vertical (垂直) wall to the safety of a small ledge. Sitting side by side, we watched the sun dip toward the horizon, amazed by what we had done and wondered how we were going to get down. The thrill of doing something most people wouldn’t consider, the discovery of the view at the top and the bond my friend and I shared all came to define the meaning of what I have been seeking in the mountains ever since.
I would have never changed my mind, were it not for an old friend and his devotion to one of mountaineering’s greatest mysteries — whether Mallory, a legendary British climber, might have reached the top in 1924 — nearly 30 years before Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay. The camera he likely carried had never been found. That’s how I found myself searching for a long-lost climber and, just maybe, history’s first highest point selfie.
My expedition didn’t find the camera, but it did cause me to reconsider Mount Qomolangma. As I packed for Xizang, I expected that our state-of-the-art equipment and bottled oxygen would make the climb manageable, perhaps easy. Actually, when the top photo was taken, I was more exhausted than I’d ever been on any expedition. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory, but to anyone who had the drive to push themselves up this route.
1.What are most climbers’ understanding of “Qomolangma selfie”?
A.It comes at a big cost. B.It shows their respect for nature.
C.It is inspired by passion. D.It brings a sense of achievement.
2.Why did the author mention his first climbing experience?
A.To stress the difficulty in climbing the cliff.
B.To explain his focus on mountain climbing.
C.To express his thoughts on “Qomolangma selfie”.
D.To meet his desire to climb Mount Qomolangma.
3.Which word can best describe the author’s expedition to Mount Qomolangma?
A.Respectable. B.Challenging. C.Enjoyable. D.Charming.
4.What does the author seem to convey in the text?
A.Not all expeditions are worth the effort.
B.The meaning of climbing varies greatly.
C.Perseverance lies behind “Qomolangma selfie”.
D.Think twice before climbing Mount Qomolangma.

There comes a time for every family when the tables turn and the parent has to answer to the child. Mine came recently when my wife and I stayed with our son in Los Angeles — our first visit in several years and the longest since he moved west in 2014. A whole week under his roof!
“Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Nathaniel warned on our first night. “Don’t pull extra paper towels to wipe the kitchen appliances!” I was instructed to use the dishcloth, which didn’t seem clean. More rules followed. Not to leave shoes sitting out. Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dog in the morning — it will warm up when we get to the park. Don’t drink too much juice.
At first I wondered how I’d raised such a tyrant. Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Nathaniel when he was young. “Don’t drink cold water! Clean your bedroom!” I shouted. “Someday, you’ll have a home of your own and can live however you want!” Now it was payback time. So I smilingly followed Nathaniel’s family rules.
In the next few days, he cleaned dishes after dinner, assuming he would do a better job than my wife and me. He also set our daily outings, including an inspired trip to the Autry Museum. And he willingly drove everywhere, sparing me the trouble of Los Angeles traffic...
We were walking along El Matador Beach our last afternoon and hit an extended range of rocks. I suggested stopping there, because it’s too hard for me to mount the rocks. Nathaniel wouldn’t hear of it and encouraged me across one large stone to the next, patiently telling me where to place my feet and hands as ocean waves came close. I was terrified, but after a couple hundred yards we made it to a fresh san dy stretch. “You did it! I’m really proud,” he said, smiling, as if I’d just learned to ride a bike. It was then that I knew for sure that the son has taken on the role of a father.
1.What happened to the author when he first came to his son’s home?
A.He had to answer calls. B.He had trouble fitting into local society.
C.He knocked over the table. D.He met with different family rules.
2.What does the underlined word “tyrant” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The son. B.The pet. C.The family. D.The habit.
3.What can we infer about Nathaniel from the last two paragraphs?
A.He is hard to get on with. B.He is terrified of challenges.
C.He has risen to fatherhood. D.He doubts his parenting ability.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A.How to get along well with parents.
B.How to observe others’ household rules.
C.Children brought up, parents let them go.
D.Parent-child role turned, payback time comes.

I teach English in developing countries. One day, while I was traveling alone, I saw a teenager selling paintings on the street. He called out to me, saying that he made all the pictures himself, and he was saving up money for school. In a different city, I might have bought one, but I figured that he could be some sort of scam artist, so I thanked him and kept walking. As I left, he asked if I had just a bit of change to spare. I did, but I told him no.
After a few hours of shopping and roaming, I found myself back on the same street. Everyone was shouting and everyone looked really excited, and it seemed they were celebrating a special festival. I tried to leave down a side alley, but it was full of people shoving each other. A group of at least six policemen was walking right toward the crowd. They were clearly trying to keep the order, and I had walked right into the middle of it.
Suddenly, I heard a voice yell at me from a half-opened door. “Hey! ”I didn’t know who it was, but I knew right away that this was someone trying to help me. I rushed toward the door and saw the face of that teenaged artist. He opened the door enough for me to enter, and I did. He said he’d recognized me from before. I asked him why he wanted to help me, and he just shrugged.
As we waited for the noises outside to die down, he gave me a tour of the place. It was truly beautiful. He didn’t try to sell me anything or demand any sort of payment for his help. When finally it was a good time to leave, I asked if I could buy one of his multicolored landscapes, and it was a way to have something to remember him by. I still have that landscape up on my wall. When I look at it, I think about the warm-hearted young artist.
1.What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 1?

Liz Murray’s life began in the Bronx in1980 in a pretty typical way — she had two parents and a sister, and she had a home to live in with them. But that life quickly turned bad.
While the parents thoughtlessly spent almost every penny, Liz and her sister almost starved to death.
Liz started her education in 1985. She lived in a dirty home and was self-conscious of the unpleasant smell that she gave off from her unwashed body and dirty clothing. The shame caused her to choose not to attend school and stay home.
When Liz was 11, her mother suffered a serious illness. The following year, Liz’s parents separated. Her sister was with her mother, while Liz decided to stay with her father. At age 13, Child Welfare took Liz into care. Eventually, Liz was returned to her mother. Liz began attending junior high school and became friends with her classmates.
In 1996, Liz’s mother passed away, and after that she became homeless. She suddenly realized, “If I could have a family and a home one night and all of them were gone the next that means that life has the ability to change. That means that just as change happens to me so I can cause change in my life.” This caused Liz to make her first real promise — to high school.
She heard about alternative (另类的) high schools and went to as many school interviews as she could. After repeated rejections, Liz met Perry Weiner, the head of Humanities Preparatory Academy. Perry offered her admission to the school, where she finished a four-year high school program in just two years while still living on the streets. From pumping gas at gas stations, to working as a waitress, to walking dogs, she did just about anything to earn money so that she could survive and pay for her study.
Perry later encouraged her to apply to Harvard University, telling her although it was a goal that seemed out of reach, it was not impossible, Liz took his advice. Not only did she graduate at the top of her class, but she also won a scholarship. Her success didn’t stop there. All her hard work paid off when she was accepted by Harvard. Now Liz’s an inspirational speaker.

Within 60 seconds of hearing a bell ring, firefighters are dressed and rushing toward a high-rise on fire. They have to head inside, knowing that floors could fall down under them and roofs could fall on their heads. One wrong decision might mean death.
Who would sign up for a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. He used to sit in a high-rise office of a software company in San Diego, California. Now he is trained to break into rooms full of blinding smoke and overwhelming heat and come up with a rescue strategy.
“I wanted to learn new and practical skills and have a job that varied day by day.” That’s quite an understatement to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while attacking a fire. But Telfer says that fires and tension can be conquered in the same way: ongoing physical and mental training.
Telfer was a runner in college, but nowadays he builds up his lung ability for life-threatening conditions instead of races. He might climb hundreds of steps, wearing 34 kilograms of gear (装备), including oxygen tanks. He may carry sufferers to safety. No matter what he does, he must control his breathing.
His survival will depend on more than body fitness. Firefighters must have sufficient mental preparation. To respond to disasters effectively, they study a wide range of subjects such as emergency (紧急) medicine, structural (结构的) design and chemical reactions. They practice quickly judging the changing conditions of a fire. “It is why we love the job,” Telfer says. “We are continuously learning.”
Going from being a software specialist to a first responder was quite a transition for Telfer. Never could he have imagined the challenges he would face. But he says, “Not once have I ever felt that it was not the right job for me.” Danger might be waiting as he heads to work each day. But his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the roar of a great fire.
1.Why did Telfer change his job?
A.He would like to challenge himself. B.He wanted to get a high paying job.
C.He had been dreaming of being a firefighter. D.He was unfit for working in a software company.
2.What do firefighters need to survive the fire?
A.They need strong lung ability for races.
B.They need to study how to design buildings.
C.They need more body health than mental preparation.
D.They need mental preparation in addition to body health.
3.What can we learn about Telfer from the last paragraph?
A.He regrets leaving the software company.
B.He has faced many difficulties in his former job.
C.He finds his job challenging but still a right choice.
D.He once thought of giving up the job as a firefighter.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Firefighting Hero B.Firefighters To The Rescue
C.Firefighter: A Challenging Job D.From A Software Specialist To A First Responder

I used to behave like a superhero with my family. But talking with a stranger was very difficult for me. I stayed like this for a long time. But conditions seemed to change after I attended college.
One day when I was doing some research on the Internet for my college project, I found a video on how to deal with shyness. The person in the video explained everything about shyness and said something that inspired me. He said, “No one is born with confidence. They develop it with time. It is a learnable skill. Anyone can learn it.”
Due to my newly found motivation (动机), I watched hundreds of personal development videos in 2 to 3 days. I also ordered some personal development books and read online articles. Only consuming information was not going to change my life. I knew I would have to perform it.
I wanted to change very much. So, I created a proper list of how to meet with people. In the list, I mentioned everything from eye contact to smile, handshake, asking questions, etc. I tried to talk with a stranger every day and got mixed up even more with my classmates.
Now I wanted to change my life completely. That’s why I tried to conquer my biggest fear: stage fear. Luckily, there was a public speaking competition at my college. I asked every classmate to give me company. But not even one student was ready.
I wanted to do it so badly that I ended up doing it alone, which was a fearless move for me. On the competition day, I was very scared. I knew that if I didn’t conquer this fear, it would stay with me for my whole life. After stepping on stage I found it was not that frightening. I did my best and I got 3rd prize out of 31 students. My teachers were congratulating me. I was so happy that I finally made it.

A monarch butterfly landed on the palm of my open hand. I put my hand high above my head. The butterfly took off, flying into the sky and disappearing.
That moment was in 1993. It was the first time I had ever tagged a butterfly. I got hooked. Over the years, I observed its change from egg to adult. I watched with eyes wide when the caterpillar would start to shed its skin and show its inner green body. My passion for science inspired by these small insects continued to Kenyon College in Ohio. There I was one of the few girls who majored in biology.
I got involved in a long-term program fueled by generations of energetic volunteers. They tagged monarchs, monitored their migration south, and helped to give lectures at the local state park. It helped show patterns in monarch migration. Monitoring monarchs in the same location, year after year, allowed us to associate climate change with increasing delayed migrations, which had put the monarchs at risk.
In another program, we visited a monarch reserve in March 2007. There, we tagged more than 3,000 monarchs, talked to hundreds of interested visitors, and witnessed the amazing movement of monarchs. It was a transformational experience. More and more visitors came every spring. The monarchs bring in thousands of tourists each year, helping the local economy and providing new ideas to protect the remaining forest.
Monarch butterflies, and science programs supporting them, helped draw me into science over 20 years ago. Other projects like Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count have also inspired other young students to embark on careers in science. Engaging in any manner of projects, like monitoring sea level rise, contributes to science and helps get students of any age outdoors. Remember: science isn’t just for scientists.
