The cashier said, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” Then the little boy turned to me and asked, “Uncle, are you sure I don’t have enough money?” I counted his cash and replied, “You know that you don’t have enough money to buy the doll, my dear.” The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to. “It’s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much. I want to gift her for her birthday. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.” His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has been dead. Daddy says that Mommy is going to pass away very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said, “I let Daddy tell Mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.” Then he showed me a very nice photo of him, where he was laughing. He then told me, “I want Mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won’t forget me. I love my mommy and I wish she doesn’t have to leave me, but Daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.” Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy, “Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?” He said, “OK. I hope I do have enough.” I added some of my money to his, without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money. I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn’t get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. 4. What can we learn about the boy? A. He himself wanted the doll. B. He was short of money to buy the doll. C.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在商场购物时遇到一个想买玩偶送妹妹却钱不够的小男孩，得知其家庭遭遇后深受感动并帮助他的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll. (对不起，你没有足够的钱买这个玩偶)”以及第二段中“You know that you don’t have enough money to buy the doll, my dear. (你知道你没有足够的钱买这个玩偶，亲爱的)”可知，小男孩没有足够的钱买玩偶，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. (然后我想起了两天前当地报纸上的一篇文章，提到一辆卡车上的一个醉汉撞上了一辆载着一名年轻女子和一个小女孩的汽车)”可知，作者是通过报纸得知小男孩家庭的事故的，故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy, “Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?” (我迅速伸手去拿钱包，对男孩说：“我们再检查一下吧，以防你有足够的钱买这个玩偶？”)”以及“I added some of my money to his, without him seeing and we started to count it. (我偷偷地把我的一些钱加到他的钱里，然后我们开始数钱)”可知，作者看到小男孩的遭遇后，主动帮助他，说明作者善良且富有同情心，故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll. (对不起，你没有足够的钱买这个玩偶)”、第三段中“My sister has been dead. Daddy says that Mommy is going to pass away very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister. (“我妹妹已经去世了。爸爸说妈妈也很快就要离开了，所以我想她可以把玩偶带去给妹妹。”)”、最后一段中“Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. (然后我想起了两天前当地报纸上的一篇文章，提到一辆卡车上的醉汉撞上了一辆载着一名年轻女子和一个小女孩的汽车。小女孩当场死亡，母亲也处于危急状态)”可知，文章主要围绕小男孩想买玩偶送妹妹展开，玩偶是贯穿全文的线索，且小男孩对妹妹的爱以及作者对小男孩的帮助都体现了玩偶的珍贵，所以“A Precious Doll (一个珍贵的玩偶)”作为标题最合适，故选C。 C If you are invited to a wedding, baby shower or other celebrations, you will be expected to bring a gift. Unless you know the host very well, the gift should be modest in value, about $25 or so. For a wedding ， the bride will have "registered ( 登 记 )" at one or two local department stores，indicating the items she prefers．You can buy the couple a gift that isn’t listed , but most people buy something listed on the registry (记录簿). If you buy an item listed on the registry, be sure to tell the store that you are doing this, so that the couple doesn’t receive duplicate (重复的) gifts．For a baby shower，bring a gift appropriate for a new born baby． If you wish to give a gift when you leave to return to your country, the best gift is something unique to your country. It does not need to be especially valuable or rare. Possibilities include a book about your country, an inexpensive piece of handicraft( 手工艺品)or art, or something else that reflects your culture. If the children collect coins and stamps, they would be very pleased with a set of your country’s coins or a selection of stamps from your country. If you owe a debt of deep gratitude to an American host family, a common way of repaying it is to take the family to a form of entertainment, such as a baseball, basketball, or a good restaurant. Gift giving is not as important in America as it is in other countries, so there is nothing wrong with not giving a gift. If you need help, talk to a salesperson at a department store. Tell them about the person who will be receiving the gift and the reason for the gift, and they will help you find something appropriate. 8. Why is collecting coins mentioned in the third paragraph? A. To show the important role of coins as gifts. B. To stress the popularity of coin collecting in America. C. To give an example of selecting a unique gift. D. To explain the relation between coins and culture. 9. What does the author intend to do in Para. 4? A. Introduce a way to show gratitude. B. Add some background information. C Summarize(总结) the previous paragraphs. D. Recommend some family-friendly activities. 10. The writer develops the passage mainly by . A. using numbers. B. giving examples. C. giving reasons. D. telling stories. 11. Which can serve as a title for the text? A. How to select a gift B. Gift giving in America C. Where to buy a gift D. Celebrations in America 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要说明了在美国不同的场合，比如：参加婚礼，婴儿洗礼，成年礼或其他的庆祝活动，你应该带什么样的礼物。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句If you wish to give a gift when you leave to return to your country, the best gift is something unique to your country.可知如果你想在回国时送一件礼物，最好的礼物是属于你的国家的独一无二的东西。下文则列举了收集硬币是为了举一个选择独特礼物的例子。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段If you owe a debt of deep gratitude to an American host family, a common way of repaying it is to take the family to a form of entertainment, such as a baseball, basketball, or a good restaurant.可知如果你对一个美国寄宿家庭怀有深深感激之情，一种常见的报答方式是带他们去看一场娱乐活动，比如棒球、篮球或去吃一家不错的餐馆。即第四段作者是想介绍一种表达感激的方法，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。文章第二、三和四段分别列举了婚礼、回国带礼物以及想要表达感激三种送礼的场合来论述文章，可知作者是通过举例子的方式来展开这篇文章的，故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容主要为说明在美国不同的场合，比如受邀参加婚礼，婴儿洗礼，成年礼或其他的庆祝活动时，需要带什么样的礼物。故选B。 D Along with a rising number of space missions by government agencies and private industries, comes a fresh set of problems for Earth: potentially dangerous space junk. A recent study published in the scientific journal Nature Astronomy concluded “that current practices have a 10 percent chance of one or more deaths over a decade”. In other words, according to researchers from the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia, there’s roughly a one-in-ten chance that the next decade will witness falling space junk kill someone. The space junk orbiting the earth is an unfortunate by-product of our desire to explore and document space. According to 2021 figures from NASA and the Department of Defense’s Space Surveillance Data, the agencies were actively tracking more than 27,000 pieces of space junk, most of which are larger than a softball and that casually orbit the planet. While the floating space junk is certainly a problem, not all the objects that went up must come down, and, in fact, a number of pieces simply burn up in the atmosphere. But sometimes those objects, particularly large ones like used rocket attachments, give in to gravity and fall back down to Earth to be dealt with once again by their human makers. Typically, people don’t die or even get injured by this phenomenon — many of the falling pieces crash into the ocean. They also have to deal with the unsettling feeling of knowing that large rocket pieces can just fall from the sky and that it might affect people in certain parts of the world more than others. This poses an obvious safety risk to people on the ground. “When some large parts of space junk return to Earth, the parts of their mass survive the heat of atmosphere. Many of the surviving pieces are potentially dangerous, giving serious risks on land, at sea, and to people in airplanes,” the study explains. 12. What is the conclusion of the study published in Nature Astronomy? A. People will see space junk easily in the future. B. Government agencies and private industries will develop fast. C. Some people may be hit to death by objects from the space. D. There will be a 10 percent chance for human to die in 10 years. 13. What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A. Normally we should not worry about space junk. B. The large space junk will pollute the ocean. C. The floating space junk will come down finally. D. The space junk will get burnt in the sky. 14. What might be discussed in the following part of the text? A. How to find space junk. B. How to deal with space junk. C. How to inform people of the danger. D. How to avoid the danger of space junk. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Space Junk Causes Pollution B. How to Take Back Space Junk C. Exploring Space Takes in Unfortunate Results D. Space Junk Puts People at Risk 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了随着政府机构和私营企业进行越来越多的太空任务，地球面临着一个新的问题：潜在的危险太空碎片。一项最近发表在科学期刊《自然天文学》上的研究得出结论，目前的做法在未来十年内有10%的几率造成一人或多人死亡。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In other words, according to researchers from the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia, there’s roughly a one-in-ten chance that the next decade will witness falling space junk kill someone. (换句话说，根据维多利亚大学和英属哥伦比亚大学的研究人员的研究，在未来十年里，大约有十分之一的机会看到太空垃圾坠落致死。)”可知，有些人可能会被来自太空的物体砸死。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“While the floating space junk is certainly a problem, not all the objects that went up must come down, and, in fact, a number of pieces simply burn up in the atmosphere. (虽然漂浮的太空垃圾确实是个问题，但并非所有上升的物体都必须下降，事实上，一些碎片只是在大气中燃烧。)”以及“Typically, people don’t die or even get injured by this phenomenon — many of the falling pieces crash into the ocean. (通常情况下，人们不会死于这种现象，甚至不会受伤——许多坠落的碎片会坠入海洋。)”可知，虽然太空漂浮垃圾是个问题，但是很多碎片在大气中燃烧了，或者在通常情况，即使有许多太空垃圾碎片坠落，但都坠入了海洋。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““When some large parts of space junk return to Earth, the parts of their mass survive the heat of atmosphere. Many of the surviving pieces are potentially dangerous, giving serious risks on land, at sea, and to people in airplanes,” the study explains. (“当一些大块的太空垃圾返回地球时，它们的质量部分在大气层的高温下幸存下来。许多幸存的碎片都有潜在的危险，对陆地、海上和飞机上的人都有严重的风险，”研究解释说。)”可知，最后一段中指出当一些大块的太空垃圾返回地球时，它们的质量部分在大气层的高温下幸存下来，由此对陆地、海上和飞机上的人都有严重的风险。由此推测下文应该阐述的是如何处理这些太空垃圾。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Along with a rising number of space missions by government agencies and private industries, comes a fresh set of problems for Earth: potentially dangerous space junk. (随着政府机构和私营企业越来越多的太空任务，给地球带来了一系列新的问题：潜在的危险太空垃圾。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述的是随着政府机构和私营企业进行越来越多的太空任务，地球面临着一个新的问题：潜在的危险太空碎片。一项最近发表在科学期刊《自然天文学》上的研究得出结论，目前的做法在未来十年内有10%的几率造成一人或多人死亡。D选项“Space Junk Puts People at Risk (太空垃圾使人类处于危险之中)”概括文章主要内容。故选D。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Hou Yifan, born on February 27, 1994 in Jiangsu, China, is a world-famous Chinese chess player.

Around 1870, it was experiencing ____37____ economic boom (繁荣), and the capital, Buenos Aires, ____38____(attract) many people. Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn’t pay well, and the people felt lonely and ____39____(disappoint) with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance ____40____(know) as the tango (探戈舞) came into being. At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes. It ____41____(dance) in the bars and streets. At that time there were many fewer women ____42____ men, so if a man didn’t want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. ____43____(gradual), the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable. The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other ____44____(part) of the world. Soldiers ____45____ returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America. It reached Japan in 1926, and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador, and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea. 【答案】36. exciting 37 an 38. attracted 39. disappointed 40. known 41. was danced 42. than 43. Gradually 44. parts 45. who/that 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了起源于阿根廷的探戈舞及流行到其他国家的过程。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：19世纪末的阿根廷是一个激动人心的地方。此处使用excite的形容词作定语修饰place，意为“令人激动的”，故填exciting。 【37题详解】 考查冠词。句意：1870年前后，这里正经历着经济繁荣，首都布宜诺斯艾利斯吸引了许多人。boom为可数名词， economic是以元音音素开头的单词，因此使用不定冠词an。故填an。 【38题详解】 考查时态。句意：1870年前后，这里正经历着经济繁荣，首都布宜诺斯艾利斯吸引了许多人。根据句中的“around 1870”可知，谓语动词使用一般过去时，故填attracted。 【39题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这些工作报酬不高，人们对他们在城市的新生活感到孤独和失望。此处使用disappoint的形容词和lonely并列作表语，意为“失望的”，故填disappointed。 【40题详解】 考查过去分词。句意：当不快乐的新来者在城市的贫困地区混在一起时，被称为探戈的舞蹈产生了。分析句子结构可知，know在句子中不作为谓语动词使用，dance 承受know的动作，因此使用know的过去分词作后置定语修饰dance。故填known。 【41题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：在酒吧和街道上跳探戈舞。分析句子结构可知，dance在句子中作为谓语动词使用，由上下文可知，dance使用一般过去时；主语It（the tango）为单数意义，它承受dance的动作，因此dance应该使用被动语态形式。故填was danced。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：当时的女性男性要少得多，所以如果一个男人不想被排除在外，他唯一的选择就是和另一个男人跳舞，这样他就可以吸引少数有空的女性的注意。根据fewer一词可知，此处前后是在进行比较， 故填than。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：逐渐，这种舞蹈传播到了阿根廷社会的上层阶级，并变得更加受人尊敬。用副词作状语修饰整个句子，gradual的副词是gradually，它位于句首，故填Gradually。 【44题详解】 考查名词的数。句意：探戈在世界其他许多地方继续流行。part是可数名词，前有other修饰，因此part应该变复数。故填parts。 【45题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：从第一次世界大战返回美国的士兵将探戈带到了北美。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导限制性定语从句，soldiers是先行词，它在从句中作主语，指人，因此使用who或者that引导定语从句。故填who/that。 第三部分 基础运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节 词汇基础（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 根据括号中所提示的中文或所给的单词的适当形式，写出其正确形式。 46.

I studied three years in a country school, which is faraway. However, it has a good environment and strict but kind teachers, so I loved the school and all my teachers very much. One Friday, just as we began to read books in reading class at our desks, our teacher, Mrs. Hill, said that she needed to be out of the classroom for a few minutes. She asked the class to read in silence while she was gone. And she said that those who didn’t read books in silence would have to answer to her when she returned. It was well-known that Mrs. Hill was strict. So we had to be on our best behavior. But that Friday, Mrs. Hill hadn’t been gone for ten seconds before some students in the classroom started to talk. From one corner of the classroom I heard Josh ask Nick, “Can I trade my candies for your toy?” At the other end of the room I heard Samantha tell Kayla, “Let’s sit together on the bus for the museum field trip tomorrow.” And so it went all around me, until about half of the students talked with each other. After a while, I, too, forgot about Mrs. Hill’s instructions. I turned back and asked my friend Liza, “Can I borrow your storybook and keep it for a day?” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, Mrs. Hill walked into the classroom. The whole class returned to silence immediately. And we were full of fear. Mrs. Hill slowly looked around the classroom and said, “If you were talking while I was gone, then please stand up.” The guilt (内疚) suddenly weighed heavily on me. “I shouldn’t have talked while she was not in the classroom. And now I should be honest and admit my mistake bravely. This is what my parents have always told me,” I thought. Then, I summoned up (鼓起) my courage to stand up, worrying about the punishment that waited for me. Then I looked around. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 To my surprise, no one followed me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 To my surprise, no one followed me. The classroom remained still, while everyone was avoiding eye contact, with their faces filled with fear and hesitation. I stood there alone, feeling a mix of embarrassment and determination. When she saw this, Mrs. Hill walked over to me, and her expression softened slightly. “Thank you for your honesty,” she said gently. Then, turning to the class, she added, “Honesty is more important than avoiding punishment. I hope all of you can learn from this.” Her words made me feel proud and the others hang their heads in shame. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的经历为线索展开，讲述了有一天老师临时离开教室，让同学们安静读书，但老师刚走不久，大家互相交谈起来，作者也不例外。当老师回来时，只有作者鼓起勇气承认了自己的错误，老师表扬了作者的诚实，并希望其他同学也能从中吸取教训。 【详解】1. 段落续写： 由所给段落首句内容“令我惊讶的是，没有人跟着我站起来。”可知，第一段可描写作者站起来后其他同学的表现和反应，以及老师对作者的评价和鼓励。 2. 续写线索：站起来——无人跟随——老师评价——同学羞愧——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①避免：avoid/keep away from/stay away from ②向……走来：walk over to/come toward ③低下头：hang their heads/lower their heads 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/terror ②犹豫：hesitation/indecision ③羞愧：in shame/ashamedly 【点睛】【高分句型1】I stood there alone, feeling a mix of embarrassment and determination.

The cashier said, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” Then the little boy turned to me and asked, “Uncle, are you sure I don’t have enough money?” I counted his cash and replied, “You know that you don’t have enough money to buy the doll, my dear.” The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to. “It’s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much. I want to gift her for her birthday. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.” His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has been dead. Daddy says that Mommy is going to pass away very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said, “I let Daddy tell Mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.” Then he showed me a very nice photo of him, where he was laughing. He then told me, “I want Mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won’t forget me. I love my mommy and I wish she doesn’t have to leave me, but Daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.” Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy, “Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?” He said, “OK. I hope I do have enough.” I added some of my money to his, without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money. I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn’t get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. 4. What can we learn about the boy? A. He himself wanted the doll. B. He was short of money to buy the doll. C. He lost his sister and dad. D. He knew his money was not enough. 5 How did the author know the accident of the boy’s family? A. He was told by others. B. By watching TV. C. By learning from the newspaper. D. He overheard the accident. 6. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Kind and sympathetic. B. Cautious and friendly. C. Uncaring and cold. D. proud and confident. 7. What may be the best title of the passage? A. A Kind stranger B. A Cold Cashier C. A Precious Doll D. An Accident C If you are invited to a wedding, baby shower or other celebrations, you will be expected to bring a gift. Unless you know the host very well, the gift should be modest in value, about $25 or so. For a wedding ， the bride will have "registered ( 登 记 )" at one or two local department stores，indicating the items she prefers．You can buy the couple a gift that isn’t listed , but most people buy something listed on the registry (记录簿). If you buy an item listed on the registry, be sure to tell the store that you are doing this, so that the couple doesn’t receive duplicate (重复的) gifts．For a baby shower，bring a gift appropriate for a new born baby． If you wish to give a gift when you leave to return to your country, the best gift is something unique to your country. It does not need to be especially valuable or rare. Possibilities include a book about your country, an inexpensive piece of handicraft( 手工艺品)or art, or something else that reflects your culture. If the children collect coins and stamps, they would be very pleased with a set of your country’s coins or a selection of stamps from your country. If you owe a debt of deep gratitude to an American host family, a common way of repaying it is to take the family to a form of entertainment, such as a baseball, basketball, or a good restaurant. Gift giving is not as important in America as it is in other countries, so there is nothing wrong with not giving a gift. If you need help, talk to a salesperson at a department store. Tell them about the person who will be receiving the gift and the reason for the gift, and they will help you find something appropriate. 8. Why is collecting coins mentioned in the third paragraph? A. To show the important role of coins as gifts. B. To stress the popularity of coin collecting in America. C. To give an example of selecting a unique gift. D To explain the relation between coins and culture. 9. What does the author intend to do in Para. 4? A. Introduce a way to show gratitude. B. Add some background information. C. Summarize(总结) the previous paragraphs. D. Recommend some family-friendly activities. 10 The writer develops the passage mainly by . A. using numbers. B. giving examples. C. giving reasons. D. telling stories. 11. Which can serve as a title for the text? A. How to select a gift B. Gift giving in America C. Where to buy a gift D. Celebrations in America D Along with a rising number of space missions by government agencies and private industries, comes a fresh set of problems for Earth: potentially dangerous space junk. A recent study published in the scientific journal Nature Astronomy concluded “that current practices have a 10 percent chance of one or more deaths over a decade”. In other words according to researchers from the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia, there’s roughly a one-in-ten chance that the next decade will witness falling space junk kill someone. The space junk orbiting the earth is an unfortunate by-product of our desire to explore and document space. According to 2021 figures from NASA and the Department of Defense’s Space Surveillance Data, the agencies were actively tracking more than 27,000 pieces of space junk, most of which are larger than a softball and that casually orbit the planet. While the floating space junk is certainly a problem, not all the objects that went up must come down, and, in fact, a number of pieces simply burn up in the atmosphere. But sometimes those objects, particularly large ones like used rocket attachments, give in to gravity and fall back down to Earth to be dealt with once again by their human makers. Typically, people don’t die or even get injured by this phenomenon — many of the falling pieces crash into the ocean. They also have to deal with the unsettling feeling of knowing that large rocket pieces can just fall from the sky and that it might affect people in certain parts of the world more than others. This poses an obvious safety risk to people on the ground. “When some large parts of space junk return to Earth, the parts of their mass survive the heat of atmosphere. Many of the surviving pieces are potentially dangerous, giving serious risks on land, at sea, and to people in airplanes,” the study explains. 12. What is the conclusion of the study published in Nature Astronomy? A. People will see space junk easily in the future. B. Government agencies and private industries will develop fast. C. Some people may be hit to death by objects from the space. D. There will be a 10 percent chance for human to die in 10 years. 13. What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A. Normally we should not worry about space junk. B. The large space junk will pollute the ocean. C. The floating space junk will come down finally. D. The space junk will get burnt in the sky. 14. What might be discussed in the following part of the text? A. How to find space junk. B. How to deal with space junk. C. How to inform people of the danger. D.

I studied three years in a country school, which is faraway. However, it has a good environment and strict but kind teachers, so I loved the school and all my teachers very much. One Friday, just as we began to read books in reading class at our desks, our teacher, Mrs. Hill, said that she needed to be out of the classroom for a few minutes. She asked the class to read in silence while she was gone. And she said that those who didn’t read books in silence would have to answer to her when she returned. It was well-known that Mrs. Hill was strict. So we had to be on our best behavior. But that Friday, Mrs. Hill hadn’t been gone for ten seconds before some students in the classroom started to talk. From one corner of the classroom I heard Josh ask Nick, “Can I trade my candies for your toy?” At the other end of the room I heard Samantha tell Kayla, “Let’s sit together on the bus for the museum field trip tomorrow.” And so it went all around me, until about half of the students talked with each other. After a while, I, too, forgot about Mrs. Hill’s instructions. I turned back and asked my friend Liza, “Can I borrow your storybook and keep it for a day?” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, Mrs. Hill walked into the classroom. The whole class returned to silence immediately. And we were full of fear. Mrs. Hill slowly looked around the classroom and said, “If you were talking while I was gone, then please stand up.” The guilt (内疚) suddenly weighed heavily on me. “I shouldn’t have talked while she was not in the classroom. And now I should be honest and admit my mistake bravely. This is what my parents have always told me,” I thought. Then, I summoned up (鼓起) my courage to stand up, worrying about the punishment that waited for me. Then I looked around. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 To my surprise, no one followed me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
