Cairngorms The UK's biggest national park is home to its mightiest mountains:Five out of six of Scotland's highest peaks are found here.Lying in the heart of the Highlands,the Cairngorms mountain range still has vast areas of pure wilderness and is one of the chilliest places in the country.For much of the year,its peaks are blanketed in snow and you can ski there in winter.

New Forest The New Forest is surprisingly old:William the Conqueror named it when he used to hunt deer and wild pigs here nearly 1,000 years ago.Confusingly,this beautiful corner of southern England isn't completely covered in woodland either-it also has acres of wild land and miles of pebbly )muddy coast.The terrain is gentle,and you're guaranteed a sighting of its free-walking horses. 21.How can visitors climb Wales's highest mountain without sweating?

B Afghanistan has its own version of the famous British comedy actor Charlie Chaplin. His name is Karim Asir.He wears make-up and clothes to look like Charlie Chaplin in his movies.Asir also uses similar physical movements.He performs on the streets and at events in the capital of Afghanistan,Kabul. Afghanistan has dealt with many years of war and widespread destruction brought by attacks. The 25-year-old actor says his goal is to use humour to help take people's minds off the difficulties they face every day."It is very simple.I want to give Afghans a reason to smile,"he said. Charlie Chaplin rose to fame during the silent film age of the 1920s.His movies became popular around the world.When young Asir and his family escaped to Iran in 1996,he watched Chaplin's movies on television and became fond of the actor and the characters he played.One of the characters impressed Asir most was a funny-looking man known as the Little Tramp.This 第2页共6页 character had no money and was always getting into trouble.The creative method he used to get out of trouble was always being humorous. After returning to Afghanistan,Asir started wearing make-up and recreating Chaplin's characters.He performs in public parks,homes for needy youth,as well as private parties and international aid agency events. "I want to give my people a chance to forget their problems such as war,conflicts,and insecurity,.”he said. To do this,he keeps smiling while performing around the city and meeting with fans,but Asir says that inside,he cannot help but feel fearful about possible attacks. "I am afraid of getting attacked,but these issues cannot stop me from being Charlie Chaplin," he said. 24.What does Asir want to do by using humour? A.To make himself look like Chaplin. B.To make people laugh and be happy. C.To earn money and support his family. D.To encourage people to face their difficulties. 25.Which of the following is true about Asir? A.Asir got to know Chaplin at the age of 25. B.Asir wanted to be an actor when he was a child. C.Asir began to perform after returning from Iran. D.Asir played the Little Tramp and became popular 26.What did Asir concern about while performing? A.People may not like his performance. B.He may encounter with dangerous attacks. C.He might make mistakes in his performance. D.People might feel afraid of being out in public. 27.What is the best title of this article? A.Afghanistan:War and Peace B.The Challenges of Being an Actor C.The Story of the Afghan Charlie Chaplin D.Charlie Chaplin:The World's Greatest Comedian Over the years,movies and books have used tornadoes to sweep their characters off to magical lands,to destroy entire cities,or to defeat a superhero's dangerous super villain ()All of these tornadoes have one thing in common:They are incredibly powerful.They can have wind speeds over 300 miles per hour (mph),grow over a mile wide,and travel over 50 miles.They are incredibly dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Scientists can't go inside tornadoes,which means that they are extremely hard to research.As a result,we know surprisingly little about them.In order to tell how powerful a tornado is,scientists look at how much destruction it causes.Scientists then rank the tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale ()(EF-Scale),which ranges from EFO to EF5.For example,a tornado that only damages trees but doesn't significantly damage buildings would be rated EFO with wind speeds between 65 and 85 mph.A tornado that blows away buildings and tears up sidewalks,on the other hand,would be rated EF5 with wind speeds over 200 mph. The most powerful tornado in United States history occurred near Oklahoma City in1999.It had wind speeds over 310 mph,the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth.A tornado with wind speeds that high can not only pick up and throw automobiles,but also knock over trains and tear up roadways. Luckily for anyone living in an area that experiences the occasional tornadoes,they usually only last one to ten minutes.More powerful tornadoes can last over an hour in the right conditions, but they are very rare. If you find yourself experiencing a tornado,find a safe place inside,like an interior hall, basement or closet.Stay away from windows and heavy objects that could fall on you,and lie on your stomach with your hands protecting the back of your head.Having a tornado emergency plan is extremely important as tornadoes can appear very quickly.Make sure to listen to the radio or television to stay updated on serious weather patterns in your area. 28.Which of the following is probably the wind speed of an EF4 tornado? A.65 mph. B.85 mph. C.200 mph. D.310 mph. 29.What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3? A.Tornadoes can do great harm. B.American cars need developing. 第3页共6页 C.Oklahoma City had no trains in 1999 D.The strongest tornado occurred in the UK. 30.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.What a tornado is. B.How a tornado forms. C.Tips to survive a tornado. D.How to recognize a tornado 31.Where is the text most probably taken from? A.A guidebook to the USA. B.An introduction to a historical book. C.A review of famous movies. D.An article on natural disasters. Research has shown that listening to music while showering,taking a walk or travelling to school could affect your ability to think outside the box and come up with artistic or creative things to do.Experts say being bored can lead to daydreaming plus the birth of new ideas. While there is nothing wrong with listening to music,doing so when taking a shower or going for a walk takes away time that could be spent thinking about yourself and your life-the perfect time to let your creative juices flow.Happiness expert Gretchen Rubin said,"You need this open-searching time in order for new ideas to spring up.This is why people get ideas in the shower or in the middle of the night-it's a period of time when the brain creates its own fun.It's when I'm bored that I have big insights because my brain is open and trying to entertain itself." A recent study by psychologists showed the same process at work.In the research,two groups of people were expected to come up with proposals.They were then asked to complete the task in two backgrounds.One is in a quiet room while the other is with music playing.Researchers found, compared to participants who completed tasks in a quiet background,participants who listened to music performed less creatively. So,is it best to throw away the bath-time tunes?Most people said the research was a real mood killer.One said,"Sometimes,I need the music to cover all the thoughts I don't want to think." Another commented,"Many people have too much going on in their heads.That's why they listen to music in the shower,by which they can actually relax."But other listeners said they liked having quiet time while travelling home at the end of the day. In any case,striking a good balance and listening to music sometimes but being quiet at other times could be the best balance in our life. 32.What do the experts find according to the first paragraph? A.Keeping our minds busy brings in new ideas. B.Listening to music helps to bring inspiration C.Taking a walk keeps us from daydreaming. D.Feeling bored tends to stir up our creativity. 33.How does the psychologists do the research? A.By observing through daily life. B.By referring to former reports. C. By carrying out an experiment. D.By filling up a questionnaire. 34.How do most people find the result of the research? A.Unacceptable. B.Misleading. C.Confusing. D.Convincing. 35.What is the best title for the text? A.Does your playlist really appeal to you? B.Is it time to throw away your playlist? C.Listening to music keeps us mentally fit D.Being quiet is always a good habit for us 三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，每题2.5分，共12.5分） When we are kids,we laugh a lot.But as we become adults,it is much more difficult to laugh so easily.Do you laugh too little in your life?Do you remember how you used to laugh before,as a child? 36 _It's a great way to relax,not just on a purely emotional level,but also physically.It can reduce our blood pressure.It also contributes to the release of hormones (that are good for our health.37.It helps us feel more at ease around new people and also connects us with others. Sometimes you might feel like there is not much cause to laugh.Life can be tough.But laughter is,if not the best medicine,a good support to have for tough times and for good times as well.So you should allow yourself to laugh as you used to.

Beads of sweat popped out over my upper lip.Morgan,my best friend and fellow cyclist, pressed her elbow into my side,trying to offer some moral support.But even her encouragement didn't help this time.My stomach felt like it was sinking into my knees,heavy and tense. Morgan tried to convince me it would be fine."Maybe Coach has more confidence in you than you think.""Or maybe Coach Cafferty just wants to give the rest a laugh when I struggle through the track,"I thought desperately.I walked toward Coach Cafferty and told her about my worries and my desire to quit this event.She frowned and asked if that was what I really wanted.I hesitated.She smiled and urged me to go practice as much as possible. The first practice was a disaster.I misjudged my speed,my legs burned halfway through the lap, and I even had to stop to catch my breath.A kilometer had never felt so long.I felt like everyone was watching,maybe even laughing at my attempts,and my stomach twisted with embarrassment. How could I get this right in just two weeks?But when I finally climbed off the bike,exhausted and frustrated,I spotted Coach Cafferty smiling at me.Even with only two weeks to prepare,I pushed myself to practice every single day.Each session,my legs felt a little stronger,and my speed improved bit by bit.Slowly,the kilometer didn't seem as impossible as it had at first. Finally,the big day came.The whistle blew,and we were off.I pushed down hard on the pedals, launching myself forward 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右： 2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 My legs felt strong at first,but halfway the familiar burn came back.

Some students hold the view that reading a book is better in that they can stop wherever they need to digest or reflect on the material or write down important points for subsequent review. Also, the scent of the ink will intrigue them into the magical world of books, spiritually satisfied. However, others argue that listening to a book can take place anytime and anyplace, which saves them the trouble of carrying books wherever they go. And listening to a book can more easily get them immersed in what the speaker is saying. I think we should deal with serious books by reading, and books for relaxation can be done by listening. 参考范文:2 Yesterday, our class had a discussion on whether reading a book is better than listening to it and opinions divide. Some students consider it better to read a book. It helps them better digest the information in it and more easily turn the pages back and forth to review points. However others disagree. They think listening to books is more convenient, as they can do it anytime and anywhere. Moreover, they can do other stuff while listening. Personally, both methods have strengths and weaknesses. As students, we should read the books related to our lessons and listen to other books for relaxation. 第二节 My legs felt strong at first, but halfway the familiar burn came back. I gritted my teeth and pushed through the pain, remembering all the hard work and determination that had brought me to this point. The cheers from the crowd seemed to grow louder, giving me an unexpected boost of energy. I focused on my breathing, in and out, and kept my eyes fixed on the track ahead. As I rounded the final turn, I could see the finish line just a few meters away. With every last bit of strength, I sprinted toward it, crossing the line with a burst of speed. The moment I stopped, I was overwhelmed with a mix of relief and pride. I had done it—I had completed the one-kilometer race, and to my surprise, I had even managed to place among the top competitors. Holding the trophy in my hand, I heard someone call my name. It was Coach Cafferty, her face beaming with pride. “You did it!” she exclaimed, giving me a warm and encouraging hug. “I knew you had it in you.” Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized how far I had come. Morgan rushed over, her arms wide open, and we embraced, both of us laughing and crying at the same time. The sense of accomplishment was overwhelming, and I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, I had the strength and perseverance to overcome them. This race had not only given me a trophy but also a newfound confidence and a belief in myself that would stay with me for years to come. 听力答案 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the woman do next? A.

A tornado with wind speeds that high can not only pick up and throw automobiles, but also knock over trains and tear up roadways.(它的风速超过每小时310英里，是地球上有记录以来的最高风速。风速如此之高的龙卷风不仅可以卷起并抛起汽车，还可以撞倒火车，撕毁道路。)”可知，本段的例子告诉我们：龙卷风的危害很大。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“If you find yourself experiencing a tornado, find a safe place inside, like an interior hall, basement or closet.

Having a tornado emergency plan is extremely important as tornadoes can appear very quickly. Make sure to listen to the radio or television to stay updated on serious weather patterns in your area.(如果你发现自己正在经历龙卷风，在室内找一个安全的地方，比如室内大厅、地下室或壁橱。远离窗户和可能砸到你的重物，趴着用手保护后脑勺。有一个龙卷风应急计划是非常重要的，因为龙卷风会很快出现。一定要收听广播或电视，及时了解你所在地区恶劣天气的最新情况。)”可知，本段主要介绍了如何在龙卷风中幸存的小贴士。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文以及根据第一段“All of these tornadoes have one thing in common: They can have wind speeds over 300 miles per hour (mph), grow over a mile wide, and travel over 50 miles. They are incredibly dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.(所有这些龙卷风都有一个共同点:它们的风速可以超过每小时300英里(每小时300英里)，生长宽度超过一英里，行进距离超过50英里。它们非常危险，应该不惜一切代价避免。)”可知，文章主要介绍了什么是龙卷风以及如何应对龙卷风。所以来自一篇关于自然灾害的文章。故选D项。 D 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．A 35．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明，在洗澡、散步或上学时听音乐可能会影响人的艺术性或创造性的思维。但是有人认为在无聊的时候听音乐能够让人放松，所以他们无法接受研究结果。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话“Experts say being bored can lead to daydreaming plus the birth of new ideas.(专家表示，无聊会导致白日梦和新想法的产生)”可知，专家们发现感到无聊往往会激发我们的创造力。故选D。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段第一、二句话“A recent study by psychologists showed the same process at work. In the research, two groups of people were expected to come up with proposals.They were then asked to complete the task in two backgrounds. (心理学家最近的一项研究表明，同样的过程也在起作用。在这项研究中，预计有两组人会提出建议。然后，他们被要求在两种背景下完成任务)”可知，研究人员做了一个实验，让两组人提出建议，然后在两种背景下完成任务。由此可推知，心理学家们是通过做实验的方式做的研究。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段第二、三和四句话“ Most people said the research was a real mood killer.One said, “Sometimes, I need the music to cover all the thoughts I don’t want to think.” Another commented, “Many people have too much going on in their heads. That’s why they listen to music in the shower, by which they can actually relax.”(大多数人说这项研究是真正的情绪杀手。一位听众说：“有时候，我需要音乐来掩盖我不想思考的所有想法。”另一位听众评论道：“很多人脑子里想的太多了。这就是为什么他们在淋浴时听音乐，这样他们就可以真正放松了。”)”可推知，大多数人认为在无聊的时候听音乐能够让人放松。所以，“在无聊的时候听音乐能够影响人的创造性”这个研究发现是大多数人无法接受的。故选A。 35．标题判断题。本篇文章主要讲述了洗澡、散步或上学时听音乐可能会影响人的艺术性或创造性的思维。但是有人认为在无聊的时候听音乐能够让人放松，他们无法接受研究结果。所以“是时候扔掉你的播放列表了吗？”适合作本文的标题。故选B。 【答案】16.

64．have put 65．brighter 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了一位小学体育老师通过跳绳运动带领乡村学校的孩子们走向国际竞技舞台的故事。 56．考查时态语态。句意：2010年，这位应届毕业生被聘为一所乡村学校的体育老师。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语In 2010可知，时态需用一般过去时，结合句意可知，主语the new graduate和谓语动词employ之间构成被动关系，且主语为第三人称单数。故填was employed。 57．考查非谓语动词。句意：由于缺乏设备和资金，学校并没有开设普通的体育课程，比如篮球、足球和田径，所以这位雄心勃勃的年轻老师不得不把注意力转移到更便宜、更容易组织的项目上。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，结合句意可知，此处表示目的，所以此处应使用不定式形式作目的状语，且表示主动意义。故填to hold。 58．考查形容词。句意：由于缺乏设备和资金，学校并没有开设普通的体育课程，比如篮球、足球和田径，所以这位雄心勃勃的年轻老师不得不把注意力转移到更便宜、更容易组织的项目上。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作定语修饰名词teacher，ambition的形容词为ambitious意为“雄心勃勃的，有野心的”符合句意。故填ambitious。 59．考查冠词。句意：最初是2015年在迪拜举行的第一届世界校际绳索比赛。分析句子结构可知，空后为序数词first，表示“第一届”，所以应为定冠词。故填the。 60．考查名词。句意：赖的队伍跳过了比赛，赢得了28枚金牌中的27枚。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，medal为可数名词单数，空前有28修饰，所以此处应使用名词复数。故填medals。 61．考查非谓语动词。句意：赖看着这些青少年站在领奖台上唱着国歌，泪流满面。分析句子结构可知，此处应为“with的复合结构”，此空处为非谓语动词作宾语补足语，run与宾语tears之间为主动关系，所以使用现在分词形式。故填running。 62．考查强调句型。句意：就在那一刻，赖开始意识到，对于在乡村学校接受教育的学生来说，跳绳不仅可以成为体育教育的一部分，还可以提供更多的机会。分析句子结构可知，此处为强调句型“it was…that/who…”，强调的是时间状语at that time，用that。故填that。 63．考查介词。句意：就在那一刻，赖开始意识到，对于在乡村学校接受教育的学生来说，跳绳不仅可以成为体育教育的一部分，还可以提供更多的机会。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语access to，意为“……的机会或权利”符合句意。故填to。 64．考查时态语态。句意：我希望我在体育教育上付出的努力能帮助他们获得更光明的未来。分析句子结构可知，此处为限制性定语从句谓语动词，结合句意可知，说话时事情已经发生，应用完成时态，又因为主句的时态为一般现在时，所以此空应填现在完成时态表示该动作对现在造成的影响，且与从句主语I之间为主动关系，句子主语为第一人称。故填have put。 65．考查形容词比较级。句意：我希望我在体育教育上付出的努力能帮助他们获得更光明的未来。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作定语修饰名词future，空前有much修饰，所以此处应使用形容词比较级brighter。故填brighter。 第一节应用文写作答案 【答案】 Yesterday, our class had a discussion on whether reading a book is better than listening to it and opinions divide. Some students hold the view that reading a book is better in that they can stop wherever they need to digest or reflect on the material or write down important points for subsequent review. Also, the scent of the ink will intrigue them into the magical world of books, spiritually satisfied. However, others argue that listening to a book can take place anytime and anyplace, which saves them the trouble of carrying books wherever they go. And listening to a book can more easily get them immersed in what the speaker is saying. I think we should deal with serious books by reading, and books for relaxation can be done by listening. 参考范文:2 Yesterday, our class had a discussion on whether reading a book is better than listening to it and opinions divide. Some students consider it better to read a book. It helps them better digest the information in it and more easily turn the pages back and forth to review points. However others disagree. They think listening to books is more convenient, as they can do it anytime and anywhere. Moreover, they can do other stuff while listening. Personally, both methods have strengths and weaknesses. As students, we should read the books related to our lessons and listen to other books for relaxation. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于议论文。要求考生围绕“阅读书籍与听书哪个更好”这一话题展开讨论，并提出个人观点。 【详解】1.词汇积累 讨论：discussion→debate 意见：opinions→views 处理：deal with→do with 重要的：important→vital 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：Some students hold the view that reading a book is better in that they can stop wherever they need to digest or reflect on the material or write down important points for subsequent review. 拓展句：Some students believe that reading a book is better because they can stop wherever they need to digest or reflect on the material or write down significant points for subsequent review. 【点睛】【高分句型1】And listening to a book can more easily get them immersed in what the speaker is saying.

I gritted my teeth and pushed through the pain, remembering all the hard work and determination that had brought me to this point. The cheers from the crowd seemed to grow louder, giving me an unexpected boost of energy. I focused on my breathing, in and out, and kept my eyes fixed on the track ahead. As I rounded the final turn, I could see the finish line just a few meters away. With every last bit of strength, I sprinted toward it, crossing the line with a burst of speed. The moment I stopped, I was overwhelmed with a mix of relief and pride. I had done it—I had completed the one-kilometer race, and to my surprise, I had even managed to place among the top competitors. Holding the trophy in my hand, I heard someone call my name. It was Coach Cafferty, her face beaming with pride. “You did it!” she exclaimed, giving me a warm and encouraging hug. “I knew you had it in you.” Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized how far I had come. Morgan rushed over, her arms wide open, and we embraced, both of us laughing and crying at the same time. The sense of accomplishment was overwhelming, and I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, I had the strength and perseverance to overcome them. This race had not only given me a trophy but also a newfound confidence and a belief in myself that would stay with me for years to come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者要参加一公里自行车赛，非常担心，教练和朋友一直安慰鼓励作者，通过努力练习，最终作者取得了好成绩，并受到了鼓励。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我的腿一开始感觉很有力，但到一半时，那种熟悉的灼热感又回来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者比赛的经过和心理活动，并取得了好成绩。 ②由第二段首句内容“我手里拿着奖杯，听到有人叫我的名字。”可知，第二段可描写教练和朋友对作者的肯定以及作者的收获和感受。 2.续写线索：投入比赛——取得好成绩——得到肯定——内心的感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专注于：focus on/concentrate on ②完成：finish/complete ③意识到：realize/become aware of 情绪类 ①欣慰：relief/comfort ②鼓励的：encouraging/supporting 【点睛】[高分句型1]I gritted my teeth and pushed through the pain, remembering all the hard work and determination that had brought me to this point.

You can climb Wales's highest mountain without working up a sweat by catching an old-fashioned train. Those who dislike excitement can choose zip lines，bounce down mountain bike trails or catch breaks at an inland surfing. Cairngorms The UK's biggest national park is home to its mightiest mountains：Five out of six of Scotland's highest peaks are found here. Lying in the heart of the Highlands，the Cairngorms mountain range still has vast areas of pure wilderness and is one of the chilliest places in the country. For much of the year，its peaks are blanketed in snow and you can ski there in winter. Peak District Sandwiched between Manchester and Sheffield，England's oldest national park has two personalities：A tough and a gentle side.In the north are dramatic edges like Kinder Scout which rewards adventurous walkers with stark （荒凉的） views.Venture south for the lower，greener，grass-covered valleys of the White Peak.Walk along the Ecclesbourne Valley to experience both in one day. New Forest The New Forest is surprisingly old：William the Conqueror named it when he used to hunt deer and wild pigs here nearly 1，000 years ago. Confusingly，this beautiful corner of southern England isn't completely covered in woodland either—it also has acres of wild land and miles of pebbly （布满鹅卵石的），muddy coast.The terrain is gentle，and you're guaranteed a sighting of its free-walking horses. 21. How can visitors climb Wales's highest mountain without sweating？ ______ A. By taking a cable car. B. By riding a bike. C. By taking a train. D. By traveling in a plane. 22. What do we know about Peak District？ ______ A. It is a good habitat for horses. B. It offers visitors two totally different views. C. It is a newly-built national park in England. D. Its name was given by William the Conqueror. 23. What's special about New Forest？ ______ A. It has a long history. B. It is completely covered by grass. C. Visitors can hunt wild horses there. D. It's the biggest national park in the UK. B Afghanistan has its own version of the famous British comedy actor Charlie Chaplin. His name is Karim Asir. He wears make- up and clothes to look like Charlie Chaplin in his movies. Asir also uses similar physical movements. He performs on the streets and at events in the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul. Afghanistan has dealt with many years of war and widespread destruction brought by attacks. The 25- year- old actor says his goal is to use humour to help take people’s minds off the difficulties they face every day. “It is very simple. I want to give Afghans a reason to smile,” he said. Charlie Chaplin rose to fame during the silent film age of the 1920s. His movies became popular around the world. When young Asir and his family escaped to Iran in 1996, he watched Chaplin’s movies on television and became fond of the actor and the characters he played. One of the characters impressed Asir most was a funny- looking man known as the Little Tramp. This character had no money and was always getting into trouble. The creative method he used to get out of trouble was always being humorous. After returning to Afghanistan, Asir started wearing make- up and recreating Chaplin’s characters. He performs in public parks, homes for needy youth, as well as private parties and international aid agency events. “I want to give my people a chance to forget their problems such as war, conflicts, and insecurity,” he said. To do this, he keeps smiling while performing around the city and meeting with fans, but Asir says that inside, he cannot help but feel fearful about possible attacks. “I am afraid of getting attacked, but these issues cannot stop me from being Charlie Chaplin,” he said. 24. What does Asir want to do by using humour? A. To make himself look like Chaplin. B. To make people laugh and be happy. C. To earn money and support his family. D. To encourage people to face their difficulties. 25. Which of the following is true about Asir? A. Asir got to know Chaplin at the age of 25. B. Asir wanted to be an actor when he was a child. C. Asir began to perform after returning from Iran. D. Asir played the Little Tramp and became popular. 26. What did Asir concern about while performing? A. People may not like his performance. B. He may encounter with dangerous attacks. C. He might make mistakes in his performance. D. People might feel afraid of being out in public. 27. What is the best title of this article? A. Afghanistan: War and Peace B. The Challenges of Being an Actor C. The Story of the Afghan Charlie Chaplin D. Charlie Chaplin: The World’s Greatest Comedian C Over the years, movies and books have used tornadoes to sweep their characters off to magical lands, to destroy entire cities, or to defeat a superhero’s dangerous super villain (恶棍). All of these tornadoes have one thing in common: They are incredibly powerful. They can have wind speeds over 300 miles per hour (mph), grow over a mile wide, and travel over 50 miles. They are incredibly dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Scientists can’t go inside tornadoes, which means that they are extremely hard to research. As a result, we know surprisingly little about them. In order to tell how powerful a tornado is, scientists look at how much destruction it causes. Scientists then rank the tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (级别) (EF-Scale), which ranges from EF0 to EF5. For example, a tornado that only damages trees but doesn’t significantly damage buildings would be rated EFO with wind speeds between 65 and 85 mph. A tornado that blows away buildings and tears up sidewalks, on the other hand, would be rated EF5 with wind speeds over 200 mph. The most powerful tornado in United States history occurred near Oklahoma City in1999. It had wind speeds over 310 mph, the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth. A tornado with wind speeds that high can not only pick up and throw automobiles, but also knock over trains and tear up roadways. Luckily for anyone living in an area that experiences the occasional tornadoes, they usually only last one to ten minutes. More powerful tornadoes can last over an hour in the right conditions, but they are very rare. If you find yourself experiencing a tornado, find a safe place inside, like an interior hall, basement or closet. Stay away from windows and heavy objects that could fall on you, and lie on your stomach with your hands protecting the back of your head. Having a tornado emergency plan is extremely important as tornadoes can appear very quickly. Make sure to listen to the radio or television to stay updated on serious weather patterns in your area. 28. Which of the following is probably the wind speed of an EF4 tornado? A. 65 mph. B. 85 mph. C. 200 mph. D. 310 mph. 29. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3? A. Tornadoes can do great harm. B. American cars need developing. C. Oklahoma City had no trains in 1999. D. The strongest tornado occurred in the UK. 30. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. What a tornado is. B. How a tornado forms. C. Tips to survive a tornado. D. How to recognize a tornado. 31. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A guidebook to the USA. B. An introduction to a historical book. C. A review of famous movies. D. An article on natural disasters. D Research has shown that listening to music while showering, taking a walk or travelling to school could affect your ability to think outside the box and come up with artistic or creative things to do. Experts say being bored can lead to daydreaming plus the birth of new ideas. While there is nothing wrong with listening to music, doing so when taking a shower or going for a walk takes away time that could be spent thinking about yourself and your life—the perfect time to let your creative juices flow. Happiness expert Gretchen Rubin said, “You need this open-searching time in order for new ideas to spring up. This is why people get ideas in the shower or in the middle of the night—it’s a period of time when the brain creates its own fun. It’s when I’m bored that I have big insights because my brain is open and trying to entertain itself.” A recent study by psychologists showed the same process at work. In the research, two groups of people were expected to come up with proposals. They were then asked to complete the task in two backgrounds. One is in a quiet room while the other is with music playing. Researchers found, compared to participants who completed tasks in a quiet background, participants who listened to music performed less creatively. So, is it best to throw away the bath-time tunes? Most people said the research was a real mood killer. One said, “Sometimes, I need the music to cover all the thoughts I don’t want to think.” Another commented, “Many people have too much going on in their heads.

Coach Cafferty just said my name—for the event. The one-kilometer bicycle race for the upcoming sports meeting! Not the event I had wished and practiced for so long! Beads of sweat popped out over my upper lip. Morgan, my best friend and fellow cyclist, pressed her elbow into my side, trying to offer some moral support. But even her encouragement didn’t help this time. My stomach felt like it was sinking into my knees, heavy and tense. Morgan tried to convince me it would be fine. “Maybe Coach has more confidence in you than you think.” “Or maybe Coach Cafferty just wants to give the rest a laugh when I struggle through the track,” I thought desperately. I walked toward Coach Cafferty and told her about my worries and my desire to quit this event. She frowned and asked if that was what I really wanted. I hesitated. She smiled and urged me to go practice as much as possible. The first practice was a disaster. I misjudged my speed, my legs burned halfway through the lap, and I even had to stop to catch my breath. A kilometer had never felt so long. I felt like everyone was watching, maybe even laughing at my attempts, and my stomach twisted with embarrassment. How could I get this right in just two weeks? But when I finally climbed off the bike, exhausted and frustrated, I spotted Coach Cafferty smiling at me. Even with only two weeks to prepare, I pushed myself to practice every single day. Each session, my legs felt a little stronger, and my speed improved bit by bit. Slowly, the kilometer didn’t seem as impossible as it had at first. Finally, the big day came. The whistle blew, and we were off. I pushed down hard on the pedals, launching myself forward. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 My legs felt strong at first, but halfway the familiar burn came back. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding the trophy（奖品） in my hand, I heard someone call my name. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 第 1 页 共 6 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
