B The earth is often called the Blue Planet. That's because about three--fourths of the earth is covered by water. People think we are not short of water. In fact, they are wrong. Most of the water is salt water. We can find it in the world’s oceans. Only about 3% is fresh water that we can drink. Although you might think that most of the fresh water on the earth is found in the lakes and rivers. In fact, less than 1% of the fresh water can be found in these places. Around 70% of the earth's fresh water is ice in the polar(极地的) places. The second greatest source(资源) of fresh water on the earth is under the ground. This kind of water is called groundwater. People in the places that don't have fresh water from rivers and lakes depend on groundwater for drinking and other uses.Groundwater also can't get away from pollution. Chemicals(化学制品) that are used in farming and factories can get into the ground. The earth has little usable water. Luckily, each of us can do something to save water. Kids and adults are saving water wisely in their own communities(社区). If we work together, we will have a better world. 19. What percentage of the earth is covered by water? A. About 25%. B. About 75%. C. About 43%. D.About85%. 20. What can lead to the pollution to underground water according to the passage? A. Chemicals. B. Ice. C. Rubbish. D.Rain. 21. Which of the following is TRUE? A. People are not short of water. B. Most of the water in oceans is fresh water. C. We can find most of the fresh water in the rivers on the earth. D. About 70% of the earth's fresh water is ice in the polar places. 22. The purpose of the passage is to _____. A. tell the situation of fresh water on the earth B. ask people to save water C. introduce different kinds of water on the earth D. talk about the pollution on the earth C Captain Hook found himself swimming in the sea after Peter Pan pushed him into the water during their last fight. A huge crooodile was following him. He could hear the "tick-tick-tick" sound from an alarm clock the huge animal had swallowed(吞,咽). He was getting really tired, but he knew he had to keep going or he would be eaten! "What's that?"he cried out. It was a small island with lots of trees and plants. He scrambled onto the island and quickly climbed up a tree to get away from the crocodile so that it couldn't follow him up. Tired from his swim, Hook fell asleep soon in the tree. The next morning, he woke up with the ticking of the alarm clock. He could see the crocodile down below still waiting hungrily. Looking around, Hook saw the tree was full of big orange papayas! He picked one and enjoyed it for breakfast. It was so juicy and tasty that an idea suddenly came into Hook's mind. He threw a papaya to the crocodile. Surprisingly,the crocodile's eyes brightened and even seemed to smile. It must like it! He fed it two more, just to be sure. After climbing down from his tree, Hook began making a sun hat and a hanging bed from palm leaves."This island could make a nice home!"he thought to himself. Through the trees, he noticed a white sandy beach with big waves(海浪). That gave him an idea. "Mr. Croc, have you ever tried surfing(冲浪)?"he asked. They paddled out where the waves were breaking. Hook pulled himself up onto the crocodile and surfed all the way to the beach. "This is the life for me!"thought Hook."It's much better than being a pirate(海盗)!" 23. Why did Captain Hook find himself swimming in the sea? A. Because he jumped into the water himself. B. Because Peter Pan pushed him into the water. C. Because the big waves swept him away. D. Because he fell into the water from the ship. 24. What is the right order of the following events according to the story? a. Hook decided to live on the island. b. Hook and the crocodile went surfing. c. Hook woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. d. Hook ran away from the crocodile by climbing up the tree. A. c-b-a-d B.c-a-b-d C.d-b-c-a D.d-c-b-a 25. Why did Captain Hook offer the crocodile a papaya? A. Because he thought the crocodile was hungry. B. Because he wanted to make friends with the crocodile. C. Because he wanted to stop the crocodile from eating him. D. Because he didn't know what to do with those papayas. 26. What does the underlined word "This"refer to in the last paragraph? A. The life on the island. B. The life as a pirate. C. The life of the crocodile. D. The life in the papaya tree. D Are you more of a "P" person or a "J" person? You might be wondering what I'm talking about. These two labels come from the popular MBTI test. "P" stands for "Perceiving" and "J" stands for "Judging". Many people around me have described me as a typical "Judging"type(类型). I am good at making plans. When I have to write ten articles in a week, for example, I plan out my everyday workload so that I can finish them on time. I've even timed my walk from the office to the nearest subway station and kept a record of when trains usually arrive. On most days,a train ar- rives just as I hit the platform, and this brings me a lot of satisfaction. I appreciate(欣赏) people who are like me, but I’ve also met many "Perceiving" types. Years ago, I went to climb Mount Huashan with some friends. As a "Judging" person, I planned carefully beforehand. I thought about what to do if it rained. What if the hike was challenging and there were no snacks available? I ended up packing my backpack with ten bottles of water, plenty of mini-bread, and even five raincoats. On the day of the hike, two of my friends set out, to my surprise,empty-handed.Halfway through the journey,they got thirsty and hungry and had to depend on me for food and water. "Thanks. You're a lifesaver,"one of them said between bites of my mini-bread. Working and traveling with people of different personality(性格) types can be challenging at times. But I have to say that those with a "P" on their MBTI test are not without advantages. They are often more creative and better at finding ways to solve problems. While I would often feel worried when things don't go according to the plan, these people are usually cool as cucumbers. And a world where everyone is either a4P"or"J"person will be boring. The mix of different personality types certainly adds excitement to life. 27. Why does the writer ask a question at the beginning of the passage? A. To offer some facts. B. To introduce the topic. C. To test the readers. D. To make an interview. 28. According to Paragraph 2, what are "J" persons like while doing jobs? A. They use different ways and do them creatively. B. They look for possible help and finish them quickly. C. They make careful plans and follow them closely. D. They fear challenging jobs and give them up easily. 29. Of the following four students, who can be described as being "cool as cucumbers"during a difficult test? A.Nancy-She taps her pencil fast and looks at the clock a lot,seeming worried the whole time. B.Sam-He keeps shaking his legs and gets really nervous,especially when the teach- er says there are just ten minutes left. C. Frank- He moves around in his seat a lot and talks to himself quietly as he tries to remember things from the book. D.Carla-She sits still,reads each question carefully,and answers them one by one without getting stressed. 30. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The writer thinks "J"persons are kind of boring. B. The writer believes that "J" type is better than "P"type. C. The writer refuses to work and travel with "P" persons. D. The writer appreciates a world with different personality types. 16-18 BCD 19-22 BADB 23-26 BDCA 27-30 BCDD 三、任务型阅读(本题有5小题,每小题1分,共计5分) 阅读下面材料,从方框中所给的A-F六个选项中选择正确的选项(其中一项是多余选项),将其序号填入31-35题。 (Helen is a student from England.

I'm writing to show my strong interest in being a volunteer for the online activity of telling Chinese stories to international students. This activity is really important. When we introduce Chinese stories to foreigners, we can spread our wonderful Chinese culture. It can also help improve cross-cultural understanding. I think I'm suitable for this job. Firstly, I'm good at English. I can talk with international students easily and make sure the stories are told correctly. Secondly, I love Chinese stories a lot. I've read many books like Journey to the West and A Dream of Red Mansions. So, I know many classic stories and their meanings well. Taking part in this activity is also very meaningful to me. It can help me understand Chinese stories and culture better, and at the same time, it improves my communication and teaching abilities. I'm looking forward to your reply.
