Smoke jumpers help to stop this. Smoke jumpers are special firefighters. Some fires are in hard-to-reach places, such as in the middle of a mountain forest. These firefighters jump from planes or are lowered into those areas by helicopters（直升机）. When they arrive, smoke jumpers first check the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main job is to stop the fire from spreading until other firefighters arrive. Smoke jumpers use shovels（铲子） or axes to clear the land of burnable things, like dry grass and dead trees. They carry water with them too, but not a lot. Although most smoke jumpers are men, more women are joining now. The most important factors （因素） are height and weight. Smoke jumpers in the USA, for example, must be between 54 and 9] kilograms. This way, they don't get blown away by the strong winds or get hurt when they land. Smoke jumpers also need to know how to survive in the wild. In Russia, many smoke jumpers know how to find food in the forest and can even make simple furniture out of trees. The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for these firefighters, smoke jumping isn't just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires and live in the forest. Alexi Tishin is a 28-year-old Russian smoke jumper. He says, "This is the best job for tough guys（硬汉）." （　　）14. When a smoke jumper reaches a fire site, what is the first thing he or she does? A. Looking for water. B. Clearing the land. C. Studying the land. D. Fighting the fire. （　　）15. If you want to be a smoke jumper, you must be ______. A. a young man B. a university student C. a Russian D. within a certain weight range （　　）16. In Alexi Tishin's opinion, why do people become smoke jumpers? A. For the money. B. For the excitement. C. For the country. D. For the praise. （　　）17. What is the best title for the article? A. Flying into Fire B. Dangerous Jobs C. Forest Fire D. Challenging Yourself C Do you know how many kinds of plants and animals there are in the world? Experts believe there are between 8 and 14 million, but right now we only know about 1.5 million. However, scientists are finding new plant and animal species（物种） all the time- and that's good news for us. In 2009, a university professor named Christopher Austin and his student Eric Rittmeyer discovered a new animal species. They were in Papua New Guinea, studying the wildlife on the island. One evening, they were in the jungle listening to animal sounds. The most common sound was the noise of frogs croaking loudly. But there was another sound- a much softer, high-pitched one that sounded like it came from something much smaller. At first, they couldn't locate the sound, but after some time, they realized it came from the ground. They searched through the grass and dead leaves carefully, but what they found surprised them. It was a tiny frog-just seven millimetres（毫米） long. "This frog has a call that doesn't sound like a frog at all," said Austin. The frog they discovered was the smallest in the world! Researchers that frogs are important because they help keep the environment clean. We can also use them to create new medicines. Whenever we find a new species, we learn new things. For that reason, scientists work very hard to find new plants and animals every day. But their jobs are getting more difficult. The forests that these animals live in are disappearing quickly. And, sadly, so are the animals. （　　）18. Why were Austin and Rittmeyer surprised when they found the frog? A. Because there weren't any known frogs in the area. B. Because the frog's colour matched the leaves perfectly. C. Because it didn't seem like the sound came from a frog. D. Because the frog could be used to make new medicines. （　　）19. What did Austin and Rittmeyer probably expect to find in the grass? A. An insect. B. An eagle. C. A rabbit. D. A snake. （　　）20. The purpose of the last paragraph is to show that ______. A. frogs are useful animals B. scientists are working very hard C. finding new species is important D. scientists can use animals to make medicines （　　）21. The writer says that researchers' jobs are getting more difficult because there are fewer _____. A. researchers B. labs C. medicines D. animals D I was hurrying to our basketball game one morning when Hillary Barness, the most popular girl in school, stopped me. "Are you the twin who won the art competition?" she asked."No, that's Christine. I'm Katie," I said. We were not the same. In fact, we were quite dissimilar. She could beat Snow White in a beauty competition! Compared to Christine, I felt like one of Cinderella's ugly sisters. One Saturday, Christine gave me a painting lesson because I was always trying to be artistic too. But I knocked over the vase of flowers. However, she turned the whole mess into an amazing work. You could look at it in five different ways and see five different things. With this excellent creation, she won the art competition. I really envied her, but I knew it wasn't her fault. I was the one with wild, unmanageable hair and no talent. Joining Christine's basketball team was my latest effort to be like her. On the way to the gym, I made up my mind to give my best performance in that day's game. As soon as we arrived at the gym, I couldn't wait to warm up. "Christine, here!" I threw her a ball. It was too high and she missed it. The ball fell onto and broke the recorder which was used to play the national anthem before each game. I apologized as I picked up the broken pieces of the recorder. Coach looked at the mess and asked, "How are we going to play the song now?" Christine suggested, "Let Katie sing it! She's always singing at home and she's got a nice voice." Coach asked, "Would you?"I found myself nodding. Coach announced the national anthem and everyone stood up. Standing before a microphone, I looked up at the flag. The notes seemed to flow from deep inside me, and my voice was clear. When I finished, the gym was silent. Then it was filled with cheers. As the game started, my teammates gave me the thumbs-up. The next morning, Hillary Barnes stopped me in the hallway and asked, "Are you the twin who sang the national anthem?" "Yes, that's me."With a smile on my face, I walked to the classroom. I would never think that I was not as perfect as Christine. （　　）22.

She wanted to show how she and Christine were different. C. She wanted to show why Christine won the art competition. D. She wanted to show what she and Christine both liked doing. （　　）23.

This is the magic of a smart home. A smart home is a special home where you can remotely control things with your phone. There are many kinds of smart home products, from making your home warm to making it bright, and even keeping you safe. And they really are "smart". Smart home apps even have self-learning skills. It means that they can learn when you usually do things and change to suit you. Some can also set lights to change based on sunrise or sunset times. And some systems can tell you if there is someone in your home when you are not there, or even call for help if there is danger. Although smart homes are getting more popular in China and around the world, there are some problems from time to time. Paul Boag, a man from the UK who helps people with their technology, wrote that it is not always easy to set up these smart things. Even his wife, who used to be an engineer, found fitting the smart home light switches（开关） was a huge challenge for her. Besides, the smart home apps can be trouble. Many of them are not designed well, and each device（设备） has its own app. This means you have to deal with a lot of apps. But except for these problems, smart homes are still a great way to make life easier. 54. What is a smart home? ________________________________________________________________________________ 55. What are the disadvantages of smart homes? ________________________________________________________________________________ 56. What other "smart" skills do you want your home to have? Why? ________________________________________________________________________________ 七、书面表达（共1题;满分25分） 你校English Reading Club正在组织一次英语故事读书分享会,本周阅读内容为阅读D篇。请你根据故事内容写一篇英文读后感。 内容包括: 1.你对文章的理解; 2.结合实际生活举例说明; 3.你得到的启发。 注意: 1.词数:100左右; 2.照抄阅读语篇不得分。 Discovering My Own Shine After reading this story, I felt inspired. ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
