When you are taking part in the activity, you are connected to a wire (金属线) that begins from the top of a mountain to the ground. Then you jump off the mountain. There are very strong ropes so you are very safe. Before I went on the Flying Fox, I was a bit afraid. My classmates kept on encouraging me. So I closed my eyes and jumped. I felt my whole body was flying! It was so wonderful! Some students in my class were also afraid of doing it at first. We just cheered them up and encouraged them. In the end, everyone in my class enjoyed it. The other activity was called High Ropes. You need to walk on a wire in midair. To make yourself safe, you should hold the ropes hanging in the tree. Every time you walk on and take hold of the next rope, the space between the ropes becomes longer. I once missed a rope and fell from the wire. My heart was in my mouth! Thanks to the protection equipment (设备), I didn’t fall to the ground. I pulled myself up and kept going. When I arrived at the final place, I felt so pleased.

A full spacesuit is really a one-person spacecraft. The spacesuit protects the astronaut from the dangers of being outside in space. Spacesuits help astronauts in several ways. Spacewalking astronauts face different temperatures. Around the earth, conditions in space can be as cold as around -156℃. In the sunlight, they can be as hot as 121℃. A spacesuit protects astronauts from those extreme temperatures. Spacesuits also provide astronauts with O2 to breathe while they are in space. They contain water to drink during spacewalks. They protect astronauts from being hit by a small object in space. It may not sound very dangerous, but when even the small object is moving many times faster than a bullet, it can be very harmful to astronauts. Spacesuits also protect astronauts from radiation (辐射) in space. The suits even have parts to protect astronauts’ eyes from the bright sunlight. The spacesuit includes several parts. The body equipment covers the astronaut’s body. The arm equipment covers the arms and connects to the gloves. The helmet (头盔) and another equipment are used to protect the astronaut’s head while still allowing him or her to see as much as possible. The lower equipment covers the astronaut’s legs and feet. These parts have different functions. They can do many different things, from keeping O2 within the spacesuit to protecting from being hit. Under the spacesuit, astronauts wear a set of cooling equipment. Tubes (管子) are put into this tight-fitting piece of clothing that covers the whole body except for the head, hands and feet. Water moves through these tubes to keep the astronaut cool during the spacewalk. On the back of the spacesuit is a backpack. This backpack provides the O2 that astronauts breathe during a spacewalk. It also takes CO2 away. The backpack also provides electricity for the suit. A fan moves the O2 through the spacesuit and life support systems, and a water tank holds the cooling water that moves through the cooling device. Another device called the Simplified Aid for Extravehicular Activity Rescue, or SAFER is necessary. If an astronaut became separated from the space station, he or she could use SAFER to fly back. 29. What does the backpack on the spacesuit provide according to the passage? A. CO2. B. Food. C. Radiation. D. Electricity. 30. What can we learn from the passage? A. A small object hurts a little to astronauts in space. B. SAFER helps astronauts return to the space station. C. A spacesuit is just a kind of clothes to wear in space. D. An astronaut needs to wear the spacesuit all the time. 31. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2&3? A. What the parts of a spacesuit are. B. What astronauts wear in space. C. Why temperatures change a lot. D. Why astronauts need spacesuits. 【答案】29. D 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍宇航服的构成、功能，说明宇航员太空行走需其保护。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“On the back of the spacesuit is a backpack....The backpack also provides electricity for the suit.”可知，宇航服的背包提供电力。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Another device called...SAFER is necessary. If an astronaut became separated from the space station, he or she could use SAFER to fly back.”可知，SAFER帮助宇航员返回空间站。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。第2段讲宇航服保护宇航员免受极端温度伤害，第3段讲其提供氧气、防止太空小物体撞击等作用，整体是说明宇航员需要宇航服的原因。故选D。 D Parents and children regularly face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting the pocket money, learning to save, and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals? “All parents hope they’ll raise a money-savvy kid, who’ll grow up to be a financially secure adult and can use their money wisely.” says financial planner Peg Eddy. The trick, say Eddy and most experts, is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own. They will also find it empowering. The Tidler family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan, 17, has been helping with their garden since he was 8. Now he owns his own equipment. He has been able to save $7,800. In addition, Ryan bought a dirt bike and an impressive sound system. Ryan doesn’t resent having to make his own money when other kids are given cash by their parents. “Some kids have a lot of stuff,” he says. “Some kids don’t have much.” Talking About It Contrary to what some parents think, many kids want to learn how to handle their money. They know they are being hit by constant (non-stop) consumer messages. They are also aware of the high cost of a college education. Parents sometimes make the mistake when talking about money of discussing it only in terms of what kids shouldn’t do. Instead, experts say, knowing how to handle money is the best way for kids to get what they really want. That means long-term planning and saving for big expenses like college or a car or even the annual holiday gifts. It also means thinking of others by making donations to charity. Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She racked up $2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. “Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says. “That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.” Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn’t have to mean setting rigid rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves. Learn Now, Save Later Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady manages a mutual fund geared toward children and young adults. “Today we have debates about Social Security and pension plans dying out,” he says. “These young people will have much more responsibility for their financial future than past generations.” Brady does caution kids. “They shouldn’t be consumed with money,” he says. However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing. That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past decade, the average credit card debt of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $3,000. Among high school seniors, four out of five have never taken a personal-finance class. On the other hand, nearly half have an ATM debit card, and more than a quarter have bounced a check. 32. What does “a money-savvy kid” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. A kid who is wise with money. B. A kid who is not in any danger. C. A kid who is from a rich family. D. A kid who can save a lot of money. 33. Experts like Eddy and Brady believe in ________. A. kids have the freedom to buy anything they want or like B. parents shouldn’t allow their kids to use money for themselves C. parents should use tricks when they talk about money use with kids D. kids are more likely to learn money management skills by using money 34. Why did the writer say Giselle Lopez learned the hard way? A. Because she took a hard money management class. B. Because she had to pay the debt off slowly herself. C. Because she learned a difficult way to manage money. D. Because she is not clever and has to work hard at school. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. Saving Matters! B. Class Works! C. Money Counts! D. Responsibility Rules! 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要介绍了家庭如何教导孩子明智管理金钱的方法，包括让孩子自己赚钱、正确谈论金钱以及学习金钱管理技能的重要性。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“who’ll grow up to be a financially secure adult and can use their money wisely”可知，所有的家长们都希望孩子们成长为能够明智地使用他们的钱的人，可猜测“a money-savvy kid”指的是在金钱方面很明智的孩子。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The trick, say Eddy and most experts, is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own. They will also find it empowering.”和“‘They shouldn’t be consumed with money,’ he says. However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing.”可知，Eddy认为应该通过让孩子们能支配一定的钱来培养他们的理财能力，Brady认为孩子们应该了解赚钱、储蓄和投资的基本规则，因此专家认为孩子通过使用金钱更有可能学会金钱管理技能。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She racked up $2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay. So Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself.”可知，Giselle Lopez是因为自己慢慢还清了债务，所以是通过艰难的方式学会了金钱管理。故选B。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕孩子如何管理金钱展开，介绍了让孩子自己赚钱、正确谈论金钱以及学习金钱管理技能的重要性，选项C“金钱很重要！”能概括文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选C。 六、阅读与表达。（共8分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The actor Christopher Reeve is best known as the star of four Superman movies. However, something terrible happened to him on May 27, 1995. His head landed first and badly hurt when he was thrown from his horse in an accident. Reeve’s life was saved by doctors but the fighting against his hard life was just beginning, as the actor would never be able to feel anything below his neck, breathe without help from a machine or do any physical activity on his own again. During this time, Reeve felt like he had lost all hope. He wished that he was dead and even thought of ending his own life. It was only because of the support of his wife, family and friends that he found the hope and courage to live again. Reeve put his heart into learning everything he could about his injuries. He took lots of exercises. Reeve never met his goal of getting back on his feet, but he made great progress. Shortly after, he managed to return to his film work by directing, producing and even starring in films. He also wrote a book about his experience and returned to his charity work. Reeve became an energetic supporter for people with back injuries and disabilities, raising millions of dollars in support of medical research. “What I do is based on powers we all have inside us and you don’t have to be a ‘superman’ to do it.” His attitude encouraged many people who were stuck in illness.“With the progress of new medical research, I’m confident that people like me would be able to walk again one day. So you can see. I’m too busy with living to think of giving up!” His ten-year-long fighting came to an end on October 10, 2004, at the age of 52. His active performance for the disabled proved more superhuman than anything that could be dreamed up for the big screen. 36.

For example, if you have a cold and headache, you can’t study well and you have to see a doctor or get some medicine. In fact, I had a bad cough last week. I stayed in bed all day. So I couldn’t attend the mid-term test. I had to drink much water and take bitter medicine. How to keep healthy may depend on some healthy lifestyles. For example, we can do more sports such as morning exercises, running, swimming and playing basketball. We can also eat less fast food and eat more vegetables.

Which one of them do you agree with? I think Weslie and Wolffy from Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf are good. The cartoon has won the hearts of young people all over China. It tells us not only the Chinese traditional virtues (美德), but also the development of modern science. By Lin Xi I choose the Monkey King from Havoc in Heaven. He works hard to reach freedom. By leading a group of monkeys against the Emperor of Heaven and his men, he makes people laugh all the time. Not only is he brave, but he is also clever and humorous. By Chang Li Chenxiang from The Lotus Lantern would be the best choice. Although he is young and faces many difficulties, he makes up his mind to save his mother from Mount Huashan. Chenxiang’s courage and love for his mother represent all the characters and virtues of Chinese people. By Meng Fang I prefer Nezha from Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child to represent China. He was born with special powers. Between good and bad, he chooses to love his parents and friends. With love in his heart, he keeps fighting bad people and becomes a real hero of the country. By Shen Zhe 23. Which cartoon shows the development of modern science? A. Havoc in Heaven. B. The Lotus Lantern. C. Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child. D. Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. 24. Who chooses the Monkey King to represent China? A. Lin Xi. B. Chang Li. C. Shen Zhe. D. Meng Fang. 25. What does Nezha do in the cartoon? A. He keeps fighting bad people. B.

We did simple things like cooking food in the bush (灌木) and sleeping in tents (帐篷). Among all of them, I enjoyed the two exciting activities most. One of the activities was called Flying Fox. When you are taking part in the activity, you are connected to a wire (金属线) that begins from the top of a mountain to the ground. Then you jump off the mountain. There are very strong ropes so you are very safe. Before I went on the Flying Fox, I was a bit afraid. My classmates kept on encouraging me. So I closed my eyes and jumped. I felt my whole body was flying! It was so wonderful! Some students in my class were also afraid of doing it at first. We just cheered them up and encouraged them. In the end, everyone in my class enjoyed it. The other activity was called High Ropes. You need to walk on a wire in midair. To make yourself safe, you should hold the ropes hanging in the tree. Every time you walk on and take hold of the next rope, the space between the ropes becomes longer. I once missed a rope and fell from the wire. My heart was in my mouth! Thanks to the protection equipment (设备), I didn’t fall to the ground. I pulled myself up and kept going. When I arrived at the final place, I felt so pleased. I thought it was like life: you just have to keep going no matter what happens. This camp was really enjoyable. I hope I can go to more camps in the future. 26. What did the writer enjoy most in the camp? A. Sleeping in the tents. B. Playing with classmates. C. Cooking food in the bush. D. Taking part in exciting activities. 27. What happened after the writer missed a rope in High Ropes? A. She pulled herself up. B. She was seriously hurt. C. She fell to the ground. D. She felt proud. 28. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. taking part in camp activities can make us proud B. students can’t help always doing something dangerous C. we should keep going when facing problems or difficulties D. it’s impossible to form close friendships when people are in need C A spacesuit is much more than a set of clothes astronauts wear on spacewalks. A full spacesuit is really a one-person spacecraft. The spacesuit protects the astronaut from the dangers of being outside in space. Spacesuits help astronauts in several ways. Spacewalking astronauts face different temperatures. Around the earth, conditions in space can be as cold as around -156℃. In the sunlight, they can be as hot as 121℃. A spacesuit protects astronauts from those extreme temperatures. Spacesuits also provide astronauts with O2 to breathe while they are in space. They contain water to drink during spacewalks. They protect astronauts from being hit by a small object in space. It may not sound very dangerous, but when even the small object is moving many times faster than a bullet, it can be very harmful to astronauts. Spacesuits also protect astronauts from radiation (辐射) in space. The suits even have parts to protect astronauts’ eyes from the bright sunlight. The spacesuit includes several parts. The body equipment covers the astronaut’s body. The arm equipment covers the arms and connects to the gloves. The helmet (头盔) and another equipment are used to protect the astronaut’s head while still allowing him or her to see as much as possible. The lower equipment covers the astronaut’s legs and feet. These parts have different functions. They can do many different things, from keeping O2 within the spacesuit to protecting from being hit. Under the spacesuit, astronauts wear a set of cooling equipment. Tubes (管子) are put into this tight-fitting piece of clothing that covers the whole body except for the head, hands and feet. Water moves through these tubes to keep the astronaut cool during the spacewalk. On the back of the spacesuit is a backpack. This backpack provides the O2 that astronauts breathe during a spacewalk. It also takes CO2 away. The backpack also provides electricity for the suit. A fan moves the O2 through the spacesuit and life support systems, and a water tank holds the cooling water that moves through the cooling device. Another device called the Simplified Aid for Extravehicular Activity Rescue, or SAFER is necessary. If an astronaut became separated from the space station, he or she could use SAFER to fly back. 29. What does the backpack on the spacesuit provide according to the passage? A. CO2. B. Food. C. Radiation. D. Electricity. 30. What can we learn from the passage? A. A small object hurts a little to astronauts in space. B. SAFER helps astronauts return to the space station. C. A spacesuit is just a kind of clothes to wear in space. D. An astronaut needs to wear the spacesuit all the time. 31. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2&3? A. What the parts of a spacesuit are. B. What astronauts wear in space. C Why temperatures change a lot. D. Why astronauts need spacesuits. D Parents and children regularly face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting the pocket money, learning to save, and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals? “All parents hope they’ll raise a money-savvy kid, who’ll grow up to be a financially secure adult and can use their money wisely.” says financial planner Peg Eddy. The trick, say Eddy and most experts, is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own. They will also find it empowering. The Tidler family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan, 17, has been helping with their garden since he was 8. Now he owns his own equipment. He has been able to save $7,800. In addition, Ryan bought a dirt bike and an impressive sound system. Ryan doesn’t resent having to make his own money when other kids are given cash by their parents. “Some kids have a lot of stuff,” he says. “Some kids don’t have much.” Talking About It Contrary to what some parents think, many kids want to learn how to handle their money. They know they are being hit by constant (non-stop) consumer messages. They are also aware of the high cost of a college education. Parents sometimes make the mistake when talking about money of discussing it only in terms of what kids shouldn’t do. Instead, experts say, knowing how to handle money is the best way for kids to get what they really want. That means long-term planning and saving for big expenses like college or a car or even the annual holiday gifts. It also means thinking of others by making donations to charity. Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She racked up $2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. “Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says. “That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.” Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn’t have to mean setting rigid rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves. Learn Now, Save Later Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady manages a mutual fund geared toward children and young adults. “Today we have debates about Social Security and pension plans dying out,” he says. “These young people will have much more responsibility for their financial future than past generations.” Brady does caution kids. “They shouldn’t be consumed with money,” he says. However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing. That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past decade, the average credit card debt of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $3,000. Among high school seniors, four out of five have never taken a personal-finance class. On the other hand, nearly half have an ATM debit card, and more than a quarter have bounced a check. 32. What does “a money-savvy kid” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. A kid who is wise with money. B. A kid who is not in any danger. C A kid who is from a rich family. D. A kid who can save a lot of money. 33. Experts like Eddy and Brady believe in ________. A. kids have the freedom to buy anything they want or like B parents shouldn’t allow their kids to use money for themselves C. parents should use tricks when they talk about money use with kids D. kids are more likely to learn money management skills by using money 34. Why did the writer say Giselle Lopez learned the hard way? A. Because she took a hard money management class. B. Because she had to pay the debt off slowly herself. C. Because she learned a difficult way to manage money. D. Because she is not clever and has to work hard at school. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. Saving Matters! B. Class Works! C. Money Counts! D. Responsibility Rules! 六、阅读与表达。（共8分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The actor Christopher Reeve is best known as the star of four Superman movies. However, something terrible happened to him on May 27, 1995. His head landed first and badly hurt when he was thrown from his horse in an accident. Reeve’s life was saved by doctors, but the fighting against his hard life was just beginning, as the actor would never be able to feel anything below his neck, breathe without help from a machine or do any physical activity on his own again. During this time, Reeve felt like he had lost all hope. He wished that he was dead and even thought of ending his own life. It was only because of the support of his wife, family and friends that he found the hope and courage to live again. Reeve put his heart into learning everything he could about his injuries. He took lots of exercises. Reeve never met his goal of getting back on his feet, but he made great progress. Shortly after, he managed to return to his film work by directing, producing and even starring in films. He also wrote a book about his experience and returned to his charity work. Reeve became an energetic supporter for people with back injuries and disabilities, raising millions of dollars in support of medical research. “What I do is based on powers we all have inside us and you don’t have to be a ‘superman’ to do it.” His attitude encouraged many people who were stuck in illness.“With the progress of new medical research, I’m confident that people like me would be able to walk again one day. So you can see. I’m too busy with living to think of giving up!” His ten-year-long fighting came to an end on October 10, 2004, at the age of 52. His active performance for the disabled proved more superhuman than anything that could be dreamed up for the big screen. 36.
