B Few names in the history of magic bring more wonder and fascination than Harry Houdini(哈里 胡迪尼,传奇逃生大师), a legendary escape artist who turned impossible tasks into breathtaking live shows. Born in Budapest, Hungary, on March 24, 1874, he moved to the United States with his family at the age of four. He grew up in a common family and lived a simple life in his childhood. He deeply admired a French magician named Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin, so he named his stage name after him, which later became a symbol for brave and wonderful escapes. Yet Houdini’s early career was far from successful. For years, he managed to make a living by performing card tricks at carnivals(嘉年华) and street shows. His life changed completely when he discovered his extraordinary talent for breaking free from tight controls(挣脱禁锢). His simple handcuff(手铐)escapes gradually evolved into daring tricks that attracted audiences worldwide. He freed himself from locked milk cans filled with water, got out of the dangerous Water Torture Cell(水刑水箱) while hanging upside down, and even survived after being buried six feet underground. These heart-stopping performances earned him the nickname “The Handcuff King” and made him one of the highest-paid performers of his time. Believing that cheating people should never be made for profit, Houdini felt a strong responsibility to protect ordinary people from being cheated. Drawing on his comprehensive knowledge of magic skills, he clearly showed how the cheaters made false illusions to fool common people. This meaningful act won him great praise, but also invited hatred and criticism from those bad persons. Unfortunately, Houdini’s excellent life came to a sudden end in 1926, when he was only 52 years old. Up to now, almost a century has passed, but his spirit, wonderful performing skills and persistent pursuit of truth continue to encourage modern performers and those who stick to facts, securing his legacy as the greatest escape artist in history. 16. What can we learn about Harry Houdini from paragraph 1? A. He was born into a rich family. B. He moved to the USA in his teens. C. He was the best magician in history. D. He took his stage name in honor of his idol. 17. Why does the author describe Houdini’s escape acts? A. To explain his path to success. B. To compare different magic styles. C. To show how dangerous they are. D. To tell the secrets behind them. 18. What drove Houdini to protect ordinary people from being cheated? A. His plan to get more money. B. His desire for more reputation(名声). C. His desire to prove his magic skills. D. His sense of justice and responsibility. 19. What secured his legacy as the greatest escape artist in history ? A. his spirit B.persistent pursuit of truth C. wonderful performing skills D.all the above 20. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Rise of a Magic Legend B.

First, let’s talk about lighting. We should turn on the outside lights at night. Inside the house, it’s a good idea to put automatic timers (自动定时器) on lights. When you are out, it will still look like someone is at home. If you live in an apartment building, make sure that there’s good lighting in the garages and in the hallways. Next, let’s talk about locks. First of all, cheap locks are not safe. You should buy special locks to lock your doors and windows. Remember to lock your doors and windows, even when you leave for just a minute. Did you know that half of the thieves break in through unlocked doors and windows? My next suggestion is not to keep lots of money in the house. It’s wise to put your money in a bank. You should put marks on your other valuables, like televisions, stereos and cameras, so that the police can return them to you if they are found. Believe it or not, if you follow all of these suggestions above, your house will be safer. (一)根据短文内容简要回答问题。(1分) 36.What does the phrase “break in” mean in Chinese?

Born in 1952, he grew up in a small town near the desert, where sandstorms often destroyed crops, houses, and even people’s lives. The local weather condition is terrible, and so is life for the locals. Growing up in such an environment, Shi knows how much pain and harm the sand can cause. As a child, Shi experienced the pain of losing his home because of sandstorms. At the age of 8, he lost his best friend in a sandstorm, which made him decide to fight against desertification (沙漠化).

After years of hard work, he succeeded in finding ways to grow trees in the sand. In 1984, he sold 84 sheep and borrowed money to plant trees on 200 hectares (公顷) of land. Although he had many difficulties, including failures in the harsh (艰苦) area of Langwosha, Shi never stopped fighting. In 1988, he finally succeeded in greening Langwosha by using new planting technology. Shi was old. His son, Shi Zhanjun, continued planting trees but sadly died in a car accident while transporting trees. Shi’s grandson, Shi Jianyang, then took up the responsibility. Together, they have turned 23,334 hectares of desert into green land. Shi believes that fighting against desertification is his lifelong duty.
