“We leave at dawn and head out overland by jeep towards Base
One. We will get as far as we can before proceeding on foot,”
Mark explained. The others sat and listened. Sarah, particularly,
as a “casualty of events”, wouldn’t have known what to say or
suggest even if she’d been asked. But Harry had a lot to say.
“Well never make it,” he protested (抗议). “Well still be
crossing the desert when they catch up with us. They’ll know where
were heading for and they seem to know every move we make or
are going to make.”
Mark said nothing, but spread his hands out as if to say,
“Well, what do we do then?” “We wouldn’t be in this mess
now,” Harry went on, almost ignoring Marks gesture, “if we
hadn’t stopped to rescue Sarah.” (He glanced at her briefly.)
“But since we did, we must get on—but not across the desert.
There is the sand, and deep ravines (沟壑) which are almost
invisible until you’re right on them and then the heat. You have to be
used to going out there, and none of us is. This is no ‘morning atleisure on some pleasant holiday, you know! If we went north
instead and made for the river…”
He broke off and looked around at the others, feeling somehow
that his argument was pointless. No one said anything.
“Good,” said Mark, looking around with authority, and
returned to checking their stores.
A beautiful sunrise was about to burst over the horizon as the
jeep headed out towards Base One.
4. What can we learn about Mark and his friends in the text?
A. They’re on holiday. B. They’re being trained.
C. They’re being hunted. D. They’re doing research.
5. What is Marks plan?
A. To drive across the desert.
B. To make for the river on foot.
C. To drive as far as possible and then walk.
D. To leave before dawn and leave Sarah behind.
6. Why did Harry think that they should make for the river?
A. He knew the road leading north.
B. They could avoid the desert heat.
C. The journey would be more pleasant.
D. It would be much safer to go that way.
7. What can we learn about Mark from the text?
A. He stopped halfway.
B. He accepted Harrys plan.
C. He was the leader in the action.
D. He had no choice but to follow others.

Many of the world’s tallest buildings will make you dizzy if you
reach their top. But these grand buildings could soon look like
bungalows in comparison to a three-mile-high skyscraper which it is
said could be built by 2062.
The skyscraper is the idea of Arconic, a materials science
company based in New York, as part of its larger campaign called
“The Jettisons”—which shows respect to the 1962 cartoon. Arconic
has imagined the skyscraper created using materials that are eitherin development or have already been brought to market, including
smog-eating surfaces and retractable (可伸缩的) balconies.
Sherri McCleary, one of Arconics chief materials scientists,
says one of the most exciting and immediate projects is EcoClean,
a special coating that helps buildings self-clean and purify the
surrounding air. It was first released in 2011 and offers a number of
benefits over traditional glass windows.
This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We
were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and
parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same
—I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.
A lot of people feel that New Year’s Eve cannot live up to
expectations. Ideas such as the “New Year’s kiss” and “resolutions”
create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a
night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one
worth living. I think those people are missing the point. If Christmas
is about family, why can’t New Year be about friends?
12. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 probably
mean?
A. Home. B. Family.
C. Living abroad. D. Staying with friends.
13. Why doesn’t the author care about “New Year’s resolutions”?
A. They create much pressure.
B. His lifestyle isn’t full of joy.
C. His lifestyle calls for change.
D. They usually cannot be reached.
14. What does the author try to express through his experiences
in Ireland and Barcelona?
A. Life is peaceful and enjoyable.
B. Living abroad is a happy experience.
C. Staying with friends makes one feel at home.
D. Travelling abroad enriches one’s life experience.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. True Friendship: What?
B. Change: Plan It or Make It?
C. New Year’s Celebration: How?D. Living Abroad: Comfortable or Complicated?

I learned this lesson from a(n) 2 many years ago. I took the
head 3 job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school
with a weak football program.
It was a tradition for the schools old team to play against the 4
team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach,
and they didn’t even practice to 5 for the game. Being the
coach of the new team, I was excited because I knew we were
going to win, but to my disappointment we were defeated. I
couldn’t 6 I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about
it, I came to 7 that my team might not be the number one
team in Georgia, but they were 8 me. I had to change my 9

Most importantly, I began to treat them like 11 . That summer,
when the other teams enjoyed their 12 , we met every day and
13 passing and kicking the football.

we won our first game and our second, and continued to

that it would be a 16 f or us even if we lost the game. But that
wasn’t what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia,
giving me one of the greatest 17 of my life!

One possible version:
Dear Mike,
How are you? I am so glad to tell you something about the Mid-
Autumn Festival. It is very popular in many Asian countries.
The festival falls on the 15th day of August in the lunar calendar
and is celebrated in different ways. It is a time to get together with
the family. People usually have a get-together and enjoy a large
meal.
In the evening, people talk and eat moon cakes under the
beautiful moon. Children prefer to listen to fairy tales while the
families appreciate the sight of a bright full moon in the open air. The
moon is a symbol of family reunion. It is also a custom to express
best wishes to people they love at this particular time.
Welcome to China to enjoy this festival with us one day.
Yours,
Li Hua
