Friendship isn't always easy—but it is always important. These children's
books about friendship focus on the strength we get from our friends, the laughs
we share along the way, and the importance of building lifelong bonds.
Owen and Mzee: An inspiring true story about a hippo named Owen,and
his best friend—a tortoise named Mzee.They met after a terrible flood, in which
Ow en became trapped. An entire Kenyan village worked to rescue him, and
when he was finally freed, they were impressed by the friendship that grew
between Owen the hippo and Mzee the tortoise.
How to Be a Friend: For some, friendship comes naturally, while others
need some guidance to learn the best ways to find friends and keep them. This
picture book provides practical advice on determining who can be a friend, and
how to show someone that you'd like to be friends with them.The colorful, cartoon-
style drawings humorously deal with these difficult situations.

barrier between a lion and his would-be friend the bird.Because they are unable
to communicate, the bird becomes frustrated as it tries to figure out why the
lion's tail is a different color every day. Eventually the bird discovers the secret
—the lion uses his luxurious tail as a brush to paint in his cave.
Friends: Percy the Pig,Johnny Mouse and Charlie Rooster are the main
characters in this tale about friendship.The three inseparable friends enjoy a fun-
filled day together, and when night falls,they learn an important lesson about the
necessity for friends to be apart at times. This tale is simply charming, and

As mountains go,1642-foot Squaw Peak isn't particularly impressive.But its
inviting views of western Massachusetts have tricked hikers into becoming
relaxed among its steep，slippery cliffs,resulting in countless injuries and even
deaths.
Henry Grant respected Squaw Peak 's record.As such, he stayed a good ten
feet from the edge while waiting for his mother to catch up with him. He
watched a hiker , around 60 and dressed in pink, was peeking over the lip of
the cliff with her husband. When Grant's mother rejoined him, the two turned to
continue on their way. Suddenly, a man yelled anxiously, "Paula! Paula!"Grant
wheeled around. The woman in pink had fallen off the side of the mountain.
Several hikers immediately started looking for her, but their view was
blocked by trees. Grant decided to lend a hand. After 15 minutes of climbing
over stones and pushing through the bushes,Grant spotted a figure about 25 feet
above him. She was trapped in a small rocky extension. The woman had fallen
about 75 feet.Amazingly, she was alive.
Grant called 911.He waited where he was for a while, but she kept trying
to move, and every time she moved, she slipped a little more.Afraid that she
might fall off the extension to her death.Grant crawled on all fours until he
reached Paula. Securing himself against a tree, Grant gently put her hand in his
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司 高三英语试题 第5页（共14页）and tried to keep her mind off the pain by asking her some questions: "Where
are you from? What do you do for a living? Do you have kids?”About 45

As a classic love movie of the twentieth century，Titanic makes one scene
a long lasting cinematic shot. Jack let go of his hand and sank in the icy
seawater, leaving the chance of living to his lover Rose, who finally survived on
wooden door debris(残骸).
More than 100 years since the disastrous event and more than two decades
after the earliest release of the movie Titanic, there have been many“door
theories".Audiences debate heatedly over whether or not Jack and Rose could
have both fit onto the wooden debris and survived.So, was there room for Jack?
In a TV program, hosts Jamie and Adam even did an experiment using an
exact replica(仿制品)of the wooden piece from the movie, and the two proved
that if they had tied Rose's life jacket to the bottom of the door to strengthen
its buoyancy(浮力), they would have managed to stay afloat.
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司 高三英语试题 第6页（共14页）However, their conclusion was debunked when director Cameron said that
the freezing water and Jack 's high temperature would have made the life jacket
solution impossible.He also said that the debate is beyond the point the movie is
trying to make, which is focused on the tragic love story of Jack and Rose, not
physics.
The largest debris recovered from the real Titanic is now displayed in the
Maritime Museum.The museum 's website states that a replica was once built for
the movie based on the museum's Titanic collection which is known as
the“door"used in the death scene.Unfortunately, the size of the debris coupled
with the weight of Rose on top could work, but not if Jack's additional weight
was added to it.
In a word, science has proven that Jack didn't die for nothing and did
indeed sacrifice himself to save the love of his life.
28. What 's the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A.To highlight characters.
B.To introduce a movie.
C.To raise a question.
D.To lead in the topic.
29. What is the conclusion of Jamie and Adam based on?
A. A physics experiment.
B. The development of the plot.
C. The theme of the movie.
D.A heated debate.
30. What does the underlined word"debunked”in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Confirmed.
B. Approved.
C. Opposed.
D.Concerned.
31. Which word can be used to describe the ending of the movie?
A.Unrealistic.
B.Reasonable.
C. Confusing.
D.Surprising.

For any astronaut hoping to survive on the surface of the moon, growing
crops will be essentia1.Now, scientists have taken “ one small step” towards
growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it 's possible to grow thale
cress, a small flowering plant,in lunar soil.
The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司 高三英语试题 第7页（共14页）future space missions,and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement. "For
future, longer space missions,we may use the moon as a launching platform,"
explained Professor Rob Ferl. “It makes sense that we would want to use the
soil that 's already there to grow plants."Until now, scientists have not grown
plants in the soil.“So, what happens when you grow plants in lunar soil? What
would plants do in a lunar greenhouse? Could we have lunar farmers?” Professor
Ferl questioned.
To answer these questions, researchers from Florida set out to plant thale
cress seeds in lunar soil, add water, nutrients, and light, and see what happened.
The researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code has already
been fully mapped.
For comparison, the researchers also planted seeds in a range of
soils,including those that simulate Martian soils. To their delight, the researchers
found that nearly all of the seeds grew.However, they did observe differences
between the plants grown in the lunar soil and those grown in the control soils.
Some of the plants grown in the lunar soils were smaller, while others grew
more slowly or were more varied in size.
Growing plants in lunar soils may also change the moon itself, according to
Dr Stephen Elardo."The moon is a very, very dry place," he said."How will
minerals in the lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the
added water and nutrients? Will adding water make the minerals friendlier to
plants?”The researchers hope to answer these questions in follow-up studies.
32. What's the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The significance of the findings.
B.The plants grown in the lunar soil.
C. The missions of future space exploration.
D. The hope for setting up a lunar settlement.
33. Why did researchers use thale cress in the experiment?
A. Its genes are suitable for lunar soil.
B. It has a long evolutionary history.
C. It has been tested with lunar soil before.
D. People have a good knowledge of its genes.
34.What did researchers find about the plants grown in lunar soi1?
A. They absorbed few nutrients.
B. They didn't grow well enough.
C.They grew slowly in the dark.
D. They needed more water to grow bigger.
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司 高三英语试题 第8页（共14页）35.What is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Grow Plants in Lunar Soil
B. Scientists Conduct a Study on Lunar Soil
C. Scientists Prepare for Farming on the Moon
D.Scientists Hope to Collect More Lunar Soil

So often we find ourselves on autopilot--waking up in the same home,
putting on the same clothes and taking the same transportation to the same old
job. 36 And while it's perfectly natural for humans to stick to routine, there
's much to be discovered beyond the limits of our comfort zones.
A man aged 53 is no exception. 37 He knew it was going to be hard
to find another job.He also knew it was now or never to pursue his lifelong
dream of owning his own restaurant.But he was too old to compete with the
young and too weak to do any labor work.
3 8 He didn't want to spend his rest life sitting around and feeling pity
for himself. Also,Mrs. Mockenhaupt actively encouraged him to move on,
considering it a perfect chance for two of them to start their own business with
plenty of time and without the disturbance of children.
39 Brian found just what he wanted eight blocks from home--an
existing cafe that was under performing and whose owner was highly motivated
to get out of his lease(租约). 40 But the problem was that he had never
financially planned for this day.He had to borrow money from friends and
relatives. After that, he changed the name to Black Dog Coffee, and made it
alive.Eighteen years later, they're still there and doing better than ever. Brian
says he's extremely grateful for the decision to make a change.
A. Then came the opportunity.
B. That was exactly what Brian needed.
C. The thought filled him with anxiety.
D.Even our New Year's decisions to change hardly make it.
E.Several weeks after consideration, he decided to have a change.
F.With the support of his family, he took a job in the local cafe.
G. Brian Mockenhaupt got laid off from a senior management position.

Arshad had been out window shopping with his parents.That was all they
did these days because they didn't have enough money to afford all the shiny
clothes,shoes and other fancy items the windows displayed.Even from a distance,
they looked so promising and inviting that one couldn't help but go over and
look at them.
Ever since Arshad's father lost his business，Arshad's family barely had the
money to make ends meet. They even had to move to a rented house，which
was smaller and was situated in the shabbier part of the city.Unlike his previous
house, where he had a big luxurious room all to himself,here Arshad had to
share his room and bed with his naughty younger brother who always had the
room in a horrible mess.
What was worse, the playground in this neighborhood was nothing like the
one in his previous neighborhood's; swings were all broken and the seesaw(跷跷
板) only had one seat. There weren't even any bookshops nearby where he could
spend his free time.
That day,Arshad and his brother were terribly bored when their father
decided to take them outfor window shopping. When his father saw the sad look
on Arshad's face, he sat down next to him and said,"Remember, there are
children out there who don't even have the things you do, like warm clothes, a
roof over their heads, good education and all the delicious meals that your
mother prepares for you, three times a day. You should always be grateful for
what you have.”
