As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot. Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites(寄生虫) from the soil.An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kidsa shoe that grows with the child. Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows. He explains how the shoe works and how it is able to last so long.“It grows in three places: the front; it can also grow on the side with Velcro; and on the back with our buckle. It can last up to five years. The bottom is compressed(压缩的) rubber like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather.” The shoe comes in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya.and there was a little girl in a white dress walking next to me. And I just remember looking down and seeing how small her shoes were. They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out. And I just remember thinking, “Wouldnt it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet?”However, Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality. “I kept writing down I should do this because of this or because of that.” Finally, in 2020 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. In the office of Because International, Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise. “I told myself I would not get new shoes until the idea was done. So, those are the shoes that I wore for a little over five years.”1.Which of the following is the characteristic of the newly invented shoes?A.They are more expensive.B.They are not so comfortable.C.They can grow with a child.D.They come in different sizes.2.Who is this kind of newly invented shoes intended for?A.All the teenagers.B.Children aged 4 to 14.C.Middle-aged women in Africa.D.Senior citizens with low income.3.Why does Kenton Lee keep a pair of his own shoes in the office?A.To remind him of his promise.B.To copy the design of them.C.To get a change conveniently.D.To use them as an example.13、Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington D. C.And on Tuesday , August 23 rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And shes not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.Its very different from their normal call, said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. The lemurs (monkey-like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.But you cant see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you can if youre an animal. Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing, said Brandie Smith. Thats part of their special abilities. Theyre more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.Primates werent the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound. And a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes ( a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.So what kind of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of waves a weak P wave and then a much stronger S wave. The P stands for primary. And the S stands for secondary. She thinks theP wave might be what sets the animals off.Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said the zoos giant pandas didnt jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. Im not surprised at all, Smith said.1.Why did Mandara act strangely one day?A.Because it sensed something unusual would happen.B.Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.C.Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud call.D.Because an earthquake had happened.2.According to Brandie Smith, .A.many animals hearing is sharpB.earthquakes produce two types of wavesC.primates usually gather together before a quakeD.humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake3.Which animal seems unable to sense a quake?A.A giant panda.B.A flamingo.C.A lemur.D.A lizard.4.What is the best title for the passage?A.How animals survive a quakeB.How animals differ from humansC.How animals behave before a quakeD.How animals protect their young in a quake14、假设你是李华,你从网上得知,一个国际中学生组织将在寒假期间举办英国文化游学活动(UK Cultural Study Tour), 各国中学生都能参加,请写一封电子邮件申请参加。内容主要包括:1.自我介绍;2.参加意图;3.希望获准。注意:1.词数80左右;2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。_答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：delivered解析：2答案及解析：答案：effects解析：3答案及解析：答案：length解析：4答案及解析：答案：1.客观填空 carry2.客观填空 out解析：5答案及解析：答案：crashed解析：6答案及解析：答案：1.客观填空 effects解析：句意:并不是所有的人都意识到全球变暖对地球的各种影响。根据various可知,所填的词要用复数形式。7答案及解析：答案：1.客观填空 delivery解析：句意:3月8日,这个三英尺高的机器人第一次被送到澳大利亚布里斯班的一些幸运的居民手中。根据the first可知,所填的词是名词形式。8答案及解析：答案：1.客观填空 struck解析：句意:让我印象深刻的第一件事是,我是在场的唯一一个女孩。根据下文的was可知,此处用一般过去时。9答案及解析：答案：1.客观填空 was swept解析：句意:大坝决堤时,村子被冲走了;结果,许多人无家可归。sweep和village是动宾关系,句子是一般过去时,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。10答案及解析：答案：enjoying解析：考查现在分词。句意:公园里到处是人，大家在阳 光下玩得非常快乐。enjoy与其逻辑主语people之间是主动 关系，应用现在分词，故填enjoying.11答案及解析：答案：1.carrying out 2.swept away 3.as long as 4.give up 5.strike out 6.is based on 7.in all directions 8.Put ； up解析：12答案及解析：答案：1.C; 2.B; 3.A解析：1.细节推理题。根据第三段中的It grows in three places: the front, it can also grow on the side with Velcro, and on the back with our buckle.可知,这种新型鞋子能随着孩子的成长而变化。2.细节推理题。根据第三段中的The shoe comes in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.可知,这种鞋是为4到14岁的孩子设计的,故选B项。3.细节推理题。根据最后一段中的In the office of Because International, Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise.可知,他保存着一双他自己的鞋是为了提醒他记着自己的诺言。13答案及解析：答案：1.A; 2.A; 3.A; 4.C解析：1. 【短文大意】本文主要介绍了一些动物的震前反应。细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen.
