(共4题；共29分)17. （8分）阅读理解 When Grandma welcomed us, she was dressed in bright colors and wore jewelry(珠宝)I never knew she had. She seemed to be in a good mood(心情), but because of her deafness, communication was still difficult. It had been half a year since my last visit. She must have thought that as an overseas student, I dont get to eat much good food anymore. So, with her wrinkled(皱纹)hand, she passed me some homemade pastries(糕点).Her hands tested the temperature of my cup again and again, and every time it showed a slight sign of cooling down, Grandma poured in more hot water. She also never allowed me to stop eating. As soon as I finished what was on my plate, she gave me something new to try. Finally, when my stomach couldnt take any more, she stopped and held my hands as she sat beside me. When it was time to leave, she walked downstairs to see us off. The sun shined on the white pearls(珍珠)round her neck. She was smiling, and her wrinkles sat happily on her soft skin. People usually compare wrinkles to a dry tree trunk(树干). But to me, my grandmothers wrinkles are among the loveliest things Ive ever seen. There used to be a time when I disliked old age and stayed away from elderly people, but that was because of my ignorance(无知). And now I understand that theres beauty in everything. My grandmas wrinkles are just like a thousand stories being told all at once. （1）What can we infer(推测)from Paragraph 1? A . Grandma was happy to see the writer.B .

For two months.D . For half a month.（3）Which is the right order about what my grandma did in Paragraph3? sat beside me gave me more to eat poured more hot water tested the temperature of my cupA . B . C . D . （4）What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A . Her grandma cares more about her wearing.B . Her grandma is good at cooking.C . She believes there is beauty in everything.D . She dislikes to stay with elderly people.18. （8分）阅读理解 The worlds first hydrogen-powered(氢动力) trains have begun running in Germany last month. The new trains will run 100-kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers an hour.A French railroad company called Alstom built two hydrogen-powered trains. Teams in Germany and France cooperated on the project, which was supported by the German government. The new train model, called the Coradia iLint, signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollution-producing diesel(柴油) trains.Compared(与相比较) with diesel trains, the Coradia iLint is designed to run on non-electrified train lines with low levels of noise. It uses a process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical power. If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time, it can store the extra energy in batteries. The only emissions(排放物)are water and steam.A single tank of hydrogen can run a Coradia iLint train for about 1,000 kilometers. This is very similar to the distance a diesel-powered train can run on with a single tank.Hydrogen-powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build. But Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower. The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains by the year 2021. Several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems. France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be operated by 2022.（1）Whats the topic of the passage? A . A new kind of trainB . Diesel(柴油) trainsC . Water and steamD . A French railroad company（2）Compared with diesel trains, whats the advantage of the Coradia iLint? A . The Coradia iLint uses electrical power.B . The Coradia iLint can store the extra energy in batteries.C . The Coradia iLint is designed to run with low levels of noise.D . All of the above.（3）How many Coradia iLint trains in total will the Alstom have by the year 2021? A . TwoB . FourteenC . TwelveD . Sixteen（4）According to the passage, we can infer that _. A . Alstom is the name of hydrogen-powered(氢动力) train.B . The project was supported by the French government.C . A diesel-powered train can run about 1,000 kilometers with a single tank.D . Only one European country has interest in developing hydrogen train systems.19. （8分）阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。DNight after night，she came to help me sleep，even long after my childhood yearsI dont remember when it first started making me a little angry-my moms hands pushing my hair that wayBut it really made me uncomfortable，for they felt rough against my young skinFinally, one night，I shouted at herDont do that anymoreYour hands are too rough!
