I didnt know what a sandstorm looked like and I told him I wanted to go out just to see it for myself. I received a strange look because he thought I was crazy to even want to see a sandstorm.I decided to go to the bus stop to ride a number 29 bus that would take me home to Bur Dubai. Another workmate joined me as he was heading to the same street as I was.We stepped off The Dubai Mall with our eyes half-closed because we were afraid that the sand would harm our eyes. We also covered our faces in order to protect ourselves from the sandstorm. I got into the bus and felt safe for the next half hour. It took almost an hour to reach Bur Dubai from The Dubai Mall, and after getting off at the Burjuman bus stop, I could see rubbish here and there. I passed through several streets to reach the apartment building and I still couldnt bear to keep my eyes wide open. It was pretty dangerous knowing that there were cars on the road and it was already dark.I went inside a shop and bought some food for dinner. I could see sand on the floor of the shop. But I was happy that the storm stopped afterwards. When I got out of the shop, I could still see rubbish on the streets, but at least the wind wasnt strong anymore. This was the first time Id ever been in a sandstorm in Dubai and I dont ever want to be in one again.14.

Painful.CIn 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. Travel was attractive to young Henson. So he was determined to find a job on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. With the help of the ships captain and other sailors, Henson learned many subjects. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman.Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, Lieutenant (海军上尉) Robert Peary came in to buy a hat and he asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America and he needed a man to help him. The shop owner knew about Hensons skills and experience at sea, so he introduced Peary to Henson. Peary and Henson had a lot in common（有很多共同之处）, including their love of the sea.One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true.Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the North Pole. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were worse than either of them had ever imagined. In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt (尝试) at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship（艰难险阻） in the North Pole cold had taken their toll on both men.They made a mad dash (猛冲) straight across the ice toward the pole. In April 1909, Peary and Henson finally arrived at the North Pole.18.

The author develops the text mainly by _.A. examples B. order in spaceC. time and events D. cause and effectDYou know immediately that something strange is going on in the city of Rotorua. The air smells like bad eggs. Clouds of steam (蒸气) rise from the ground. Strange coverings（遮盖物） of yellow, white, and red cover the rocks, which burn your hands. The ground shakes as a geyser (间歇泉) sends hot water 100 feet into the air.Welcome to New Zealands North Island, where the earth boils under your feet. This hot spot is part of the Ring of Fire（火山带）, a circle of underwater volcanoes（火山） and earthquake areas around the Pacific Ocean. New Zealand sits above a place between two plates (huge rocks that form the surface of the earth). As they slowly move together, the edge of one plate is pushed under the other, where it becomes molten (熔化的) rock. This molten rock heats rocks and groundwater lying above it, creating a hot area. Under Rotorua lies a huge amount of steam and hot water heated by molten rock.Rotorua may not sound like a perfect place to live, but people who made their homes in the area managed to survive. The Maori people arrived 600 years ago and built villages around the hot springs（温泉）. They used the hot water to wash and keep warm. They prepared their meals by placing baskets full of meat and vegetables into steaming pools. Today, the Maoris in traditional villages still use the heat the same way their ancestors did.The people of Rotorua have learned to live above the boiling earth. Walkers in hot spots must stay on marked paths, or risk falling into a pool of boiling water. For safety, houses are not built in known hot areas. But sometimes the steam and hot water break through the ground in unexpected places. Imagine a geyser suddenly appearing in your front yard!22. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. How a geyser works. B. What Rotorua is like.C. Rotoruas environmental problem. D. The strange rocks in New Zealand.23. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to（指的是）?A. The outside of the earth. B. The edge of one plate.C. The molten rock. D. A hot area.24. The early Maoris in Rotorua _.A. ate an unhealthy diet B. made full use of hot springsC. lived far away from hot springs D. used secret heating methods to cook25. In Rotorua, paths in hot areas are marked（做记号） so that _.A. hot water can be easily found B. geysers can be better viewedC. people can avoid dangers D. houses can be protected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。（注意：E项填涂A和B，F项填涂B和C， G项填涂C和D）As we know, everyone can make mistakes, but dont worry about it.

Just admit (承认）it.Dont think that our mistakes are caused by others. 26 Dont blame（责备） other people, and dont cheat ourselves, either. 27In order to stop the problem from getting worse, we should act quickly to solve it.
