B Paloma sat at a computer in the school library She stared at the blank screen and the blinking cursor She rummaged around in her backpack for a rubber band and then she pulled her hair into a thick ponytail Paloma looked at the computer screen It was still blank She sighed and flipped through her notebook to reread the assignment Mr Molina had given the class three weeks ago It was due in just two days and Paloma knew that she couldn t procrastinate any longer Write a creative short story using an experience that you have had recently Paloma read Your story should include two examples of figurative language Paloma and her family had recently taken a trip along North Carolina s coast They had visited four different lighthouses and Paloma wondered what it would be like to live in a lighthouse She knew that before lighthouses were automated they were run by a lighthouse keeper who lived on the premises Paloma thought she d love to be a lighthouse keeper Without thinking about it any longer Paloma began to write the story I sat with my cat Sadie curled on my lap and looked out the window at the crashing waves The heavy rain beat against my lighthouse like a thousand footsteps racing up and down the walls I held Sadie closer and she let out a small meow of displeasure I knew that the coming storm could not be too dangerous if Sadie was still acting normally I had read that animals can sense changes in weather and will seek shelter from a tornado or hurricane I was relying on Sadie s calmness to get me through my first hurricane on the island I knew that my lighthouse was sturdily built It had survived more than one hundred years worth of hurricanes and tropical storms There was no reason to believe that it couldn t survive another I looked up at the staircase that spiraled above me and worried as I felt the tower sway slightly in a gust of wind Paloma stopped and reread what she had just written She smiled to herself in delight saved her story and then settled into her chair to continue writing She wasn t sure what was going to happen next but she knew that if she kept going the story would continue to tell itself Paloma couldn t wait to find out where it would take her 24 Why is Paloma feeling anxious at the beginning of the passage A She hasn t much time left to do her writing task B She doesn t know the details of her writing task C She has completely forgotten about her writing task 英语试题第 4 页 共 11 页 D She doesn t know what is wrong with her computer 25 What is the inspiration for Paloma s story idea A Her cat B Her teacher C Her trip D Her dream 26 In Paloma s story how does the lighthouse keeper decide if the storm is dangerous A By listening to the weather report B By watching the crashing waves C By observing the cat s behaviour D By measuring the movement of the lighthouse 27 As described in the final paragraph how does Paloma feel after she has written the first part of her story A Confused B Excited C Relieved D Determined C For many years Bruce Bexler dreamed of going where no human had gone before He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare exotic species That might sound like an impossible dream but Bexler turned it into a reality In December 2015 he and a team of Australian and American scientists ventured into an isolated tropical rain forest on the island of New Guinea They were the first people ever to enter the mist covered region As time was limited we were dropped in by helicopter Once we were on the ground there were no trails anywhere it was really hard to get around Bexler says Within minutes of landing the team spotted a black chicken like bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeater the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years The honeyeater wasn t the only surprise for the scientists They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species 13 birds of paradise 20 frogs four butterflies and five palms We were like kids in a candy store Bexler recalls Everywhere we looked we saw amazing things we had never seen before The newfound species didn t shy away from the scientists Two long nosed echidnas primitive egg laying mammals let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them An echidna looks like a hedgehog and is also called a spiny anteater Bexler thinks the animals weren t scared because they had never seen humans before In almost all parts of New Guinea animals are hunted for food and because of this they are very cautious of people he explains This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people 英语试题第 5 页 共 11 页 Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia Local people called Kwerba hunt and collect plants from the outer edges of the forest but told Bexler that not even their ancestors had gone so far into the woods The wooded area is approximately a 10 day walk from the nearest village Bexler and his team did not have enough time during the expedition to study the area completely They hope to return and expect to record many more undiscovered species We just scratched the surface Bexler says Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery 28 Which word best describes Bruce Bexler A Adventurous B Cautious C Optimistic D Thorough 29 What does Bruce Bexler mean in Paragraph 5 when he says the scientists were like kids in a candy store A They didn t have enough food and were hungry B They were very excited about what they saw C They were misbehaving like naughty children D They knew that if they kept searching they d find sugar 30 Why did some of the animals allow the scientists to pick them up A The scientists seemed to be very friendly B The scientists were skilled in handling animals C The animals had been well trained by the local people D The animals had no experience or fear of people 31 What can we conclude about the area Bruce Bexler explored A The best way to explore the area is by helicopter B The area has not been visited by scientists for many years C The area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science D The locals are unwilling to allow the scientists to enter the deep woods D Petrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads but their days are numbered A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the US That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020 One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been range anxiety drivers concerns about running out of juice on a journey While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed That said charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA 英语试题第 6 页 共 11 页 Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years Not that long ago electric cars were met with distrust and their large price tags drove customers away Thanks to improvements in battery capacity recharging times performance and price the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade critics Plug in cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money As well as advancements on the road electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol powered outboard motors took over Now the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back Steps towards electric air travel are also being made with Airbus and NASA among the organisations developing and testing battery powered planes The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions Were the US to act on the study s findings and replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent However because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles they cannot claim to be completely emission free That said as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources electric vehicles will become even cleaner 32 Which is the best title for this passage A My Dream CarB History of Electric Cars C Problems with Petrol CarsD Driving into the Future 33 As used in Paragraph 2 the underlined word hurdle means A aim B barrier C consequence D step 34 In the past why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars A They were not good value B They were very poorly made C They were not widely promoted D They couldn t travel at a high speed 35 What is the function of Paragraph 4 A To introduce the history of electric travel B To explain why the world needs more electric cars C To show why more people have interest in electric cars D To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used 英语试题第 7 页 共 11 页 第二节 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 10 分 根据短文内容 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两项为多 余选项 China has been the birthplace of many of the world s greatest inventions It was for example the first country to produce paper money Before the invention of paper money and coins people used many different kinds of things for buying and selling 36 This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called bartering 37 In 1200 BC people in China began to use shells 贝壳 as money Usually the shells used as money were very small This made it easier for people to carry money over long distances and allowed for trade to develop between different parts of the country In the years which followed this invention many other countries around the world began to do the same 38 The next development was in 1000 BC when China started making bronze and copper shells It wasn t long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal 39 By 500 BC metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece and later in the Roman Empire About 1000 years later leather was used as money in China and in 806 AD the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people
