The Boy Made it!
One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain. In the early afternoon, when he was
planning to go home, a bad snowstorm happened. Unable to see far, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have
food, water or a phone. He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to worry too much. He thought about all of the survival（幸
存者） shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips（提示） he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thinghe did was to find a shelter（躲避处）from the cold wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get
very low, which could quickly kill him.
Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave（洞穴）. Then he put branches（树枝）on top of himself to keep
himself warm.
By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby river so that his
body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he
could—he slept in his cave.
The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He then returned to the snow
cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had
walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas had often watched Gryll’s survival show Man vs.Wild. That’s where he learned how to save his life.
When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing experience, he was very surprised that Nicholas had made it since
he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.
24. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?
A. He got lost.
B. He hurt his eyes.
C. He broke his skis.
D. He caught a cold.
25. How did Nicaolas keep himself warm?

B. He put branches on top of himself.

D. He found a shelter and slept in it.
26. On Tuesday, ________.
A. a volunteer saved Nicolas
B. Nicolas stayed where he was
C. Nicolas returned to his shelter

Porridge—a perfect breakfast?
Porridge (粥). It doesn’t have a very tasty name, does it? I’m here to try and tell you that porridge isn’t boring
and tasteless, that it can be a delicious, easy to cook and very healthy way to start the day.
If you’ve never eaten it (although you probably have!), porridge is a kind of food for breakfast. It is usually a
kind of grain (谷物) with either milk or water, and often warmed up. It is very healthy, so it’s a very good choice
for people who are ill, and it gives long-lasting energy (能量) for the day.
Porridge preparation is up to what you choose to use. If I’m cooking for myself, I put a very big handful of
oats (燕麦) in a pan, add a little bit of water and about 200 ml of milk, and let it boil. It takes about five minutes to
cook. Once it’s cooked, the fun part is putting more things in for the flavours (味道). Porridge alone doesn’t have a
very strong flavour. Although some people think this makes porridge boring, I think this is what makes porridge
exciting! It is like a piece of white paper—you can put in almost anything you want in the porridge. Dried fruits
and nuts are very healthy choices and can give you energy for the day. But if you don’t like these, then chocolate is
also very delicious choice. (Just don’t add too much!)
One of the best things about porridge? You can make it almost anywhere in the world. You can usually buy big
bags of oats, then add other things to make your porridge interesting—whatever is cheap and easy to find, wherever
you are. Porridge? Hopefully, it sounds a lot tastier now!
28. What can we learn about porridge?
A. It is hard to cook porridge.
B. It gives people a lot of energy.
C. It is a perfect breakfast in China.
D. It is not a good choice for sick people.
29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How to make porridge exciting.
B. Where to go to buy good porridge.
C. What we can use to put in porridge.
D. Why porridge is a perfect breakfast.
30. The writer writes this passage to ________.
A. encourage people to buy more porridge
B. introduce different kinds of breakfast
C. tell people porridge can be delicious
D. teach people how to cook porridgeD
It seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents. It is different from the image of
unhappy teenagers staying in their room after arguing with their parents.
An important new study surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious (和谐的) than it has ever
been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive (积极的) today’s young people seen to be about their
families,” said one member of the research team. “People think they are rebellious (叛逆的). In fact, they have
other things on their minds; they want a car or a phone,and they worry about their grades. There is more discussion
between parents and children, and children want to take part in the family decision-making process.
So it seems that these young parents is much more possible than parents of 30 years ago to think their children
as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I
always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they are fine with it.” Susan
Crome agrees. “Looking back on the past 10 years, children negotiated with their parents a lot. For example, as
long as I finish my homework, I could watch TV. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents
than that.”
Maybe this positive view of family life is what it should be like. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion
is not because of real facts. A researcher says, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their
parents comes because of a short time in our history when we think teenagers are different being. But that idea of
rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when
everyone rebelled. It has been a change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
31. What can we learn about today’s parents from the passage?
A. They go to clubs more often with their children.
B. They are much stricter with their children.
C. They care less about their children’s life.
D. They give their children more freedom.
32. The words “negotiated” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ________.
A. discussed B. helped C. stayed D. shared
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Positive parents
B. Harmony in Family
C. Rebellious Children
D. Teenage Trouble in Family
四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
What is space tourism?
Space tourism is space travel for leisure purposes (休闲目的). What was once only a dream—described in
books such as Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey—is now becoming a reality.
Futurologists (未来学家) are scientists who try to predict (预测) what life will be like in the future. After the
first man landed on the moon in 1969, they thought that hotels would be built on the moon by the year 2000.
Futurologists also considered the possibility that, in the 21st century, families might go for a holiday on the moon.
Neither of these predictions have come true yet—but the rapid development of technology may mean these
predictions are a possibility in the years to come.
Space Adventures is currently the only company to send people into space. Space Adventures worked with the
Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation and Rocket and Space Corporation Energia to offer flights for the
world’s first private space explorers. Each person paid over ＄20 million for their 10-day trip to the International
Space Station.
Following several successful trips into space, more companies are now thinking about the possibility of
sending tourists into space. In order to make it cheaper, suborbital (亚轨道的) space travel is a choice for many
companies, including Virgin Galactic. Passengers would go to a height of between 100 and 160 km above earth,
experience 3—6 minutes of weightlessness and a view of the stars, then come back down to earth. This costs about
＄200,000 per person.
While it could be an amazing experience, there are some problems with space tourism. Many people believe
that it could make global warming (全球变暖) worse and it is not good for the ozone layer (臭氧层). What’s more,
space travel is only really for the rich people. There are still millions of people worldwide who couldn’t pay for it.
34. Which book described space tourism?
________________
35. When did the first man land on the moon?
________________
36. Which company can send people into space?
________________
.
37 What can people do with suborbital space travel?
________________
38. What is your opinion on space travel? And why?
