Samantha.

her first TV show on NBC Channel 12 in Phoenix,
USA．Before her

, she woke up at 4 a.m. to arrive at the station by 5:30 a.m., a
typical
43
for many meteorologists. “To prepare, I practiced in front of the mirror,”
said Samantha. “I learned I needed a lot of practice on camera!” Her future plans are
simple: do well in school and practice

A
“Save the whales!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake
liked having a picture that said something important; that showed he cared. But he never
expected to get a chance（机会）to save a real whale in his own neighborhood.
It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales’ coming. A
group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s hometown. Many people,
including Jake and his family, ran out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a
公众号：好学熊资料库超全学习资料库
beautiful show, better than a movie.
Then one whale swam towards the land. It came with the waves（海浪）, and when the waves
receded, its huge body was left on the sand. Now, Jake and his family and all the others were
no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers
（营救者）. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to get the
whale back into the water, but it was no use.
An animal rescue service team soon arrived to help move the animal, Jack and his family
couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot
tea for the rescuers. At last, Jake thought, they could help in some way.
Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that they
needed it. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the
headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times, they were
finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It
swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a while under the sea. Then, in what looked
like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water --- a thank-you to those who had worked so
hard to save his life.

. A．Jake’s
house was next to a zoo

Have you heard of a woman writer? She wrote a lot of detective（侦探） novels. Her name
is Agatha Christie. She is one of the most popular writers of all time. About four billion
copies of her books have been sold, and they have been translated into 103 languages. She is
often called the queen of the “wh
o dun
i t ”. A whodunit is a story that starts with a crime,
usually murder. Then the main character of the story tries to discover who did it（or who-
done-it）.
When Agatha Christie was five, she had read a lot of books and tried to write novels. At
the age of 30, she had finished her first detective novel. Readers love her stories because
there are always lots of clues（线索）and special information for them to think about as they
read. Her two most famous characters are the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the elderly
amateur detective Miss Marple.
Christie always wrote about places that she knew, like Torquay, the English town where she
was born in 1890 and lived for a long time. But her readers are lucky that she was also a great
traveler. She was married to an archaeologist（考古 学家）and traveled with him to Syria and
公众号：好学熊资料库超全学习资料库
Iraq, where t h e y worked at
archaeological “digs”. In the book Murder in Mesopotamia, Poirot found a murder at one of
these digs. Christie also traveled to Egypt, the setting for Death on the Nile, and took the
train ride between Istanbul and Paris（Murder on the Orient Express）.
Agatha Christie died in 1976, but her books continue to be popular today. For one week
every year, lovers of her stories can go to the Agatha Christie Festival in Torquay. People
dress up in clothes from the 1920s and 1930s, like characters in her stories. Jazz bands play
at tea parties and there are dinners on old trains and
at old country houses. Visitors have a lot of fun trying to discover who the
“killer” is—or whodunit.
51．From Paragraph 1, what does the underlined word “whodunit” most
probably mean?
A．Detective novel. B．Fairy tale.
C．News report.
D．Talent show.
52．According to Paragraph 1&2, the main character in Agatha Christie’s stories
_.
A．is usually the murderer
B．is always Hercule Poirot
C．tries to find out the murderer
D．is often the queen of Egypt
53．In Paragraph 3 the word “they” refers to
.
A．Syria and Iraq
B．Agatha Christie and her husband
C．archaeologists
D．Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot
54．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A．Christie’s
stories are always set in places that she had lived or visited. B．The novels Death on
the Nile and Whodunit are set on an old train. C．Christie’s novels have been keeping
popular since she died in 1976. D．Fans dress up like characters in her stories for
one week every year.
55．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To
introduce world’s famous detectives.
B．To introduce a kind of books-Whodunit. C．To describe
places Christie traveled to. D．To describe Agatha Christie
and her books.

Was it possible that Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai and Western hero King Arthur meet and fight
against each other? Yes. In a game called King of Glory, created by Chinese company Tencent,
King of Glory was one of the most popular MOBA games in China in 2017.
About one in every Chinese people plays the game, and 55 million of them play it every day.
The game is designed to be easy for beginners. Social media like QQ and WeChat have also
helped the game’s community grow. New players can be invited to play the game by their WeChat
contacts, with some seeing it as a good way to keep in touch with old friends and make new
ones.
The game has more than 60 characters to unlock and play as you progress, each with their own
special style and abilities. The characters cover different times and countries. Some are real
historical character, like Li Bai. Some are not. Players use them to fight against each other
or team up to fight. The winners can reach higher ranks.
However, some people think King of Glory gives the students incorrect information about
events and people in history. For example, the poet Li Bai is described as a killer; Jing
Ke, the man who tried to kill the first emperor of China,
is a girl in the game. But more peole worry about children playing the game too much and
spending too much money on it. Most of the players are below the age of 19. It’s reported
that a 17-year-old bay had a stroke(中风) after playing the game for 40 hours.
To change the situation, Tencent added a time limit feature to the game to prevent kids from
playing too much. From July 4, 2017, children under 12 years old can play the game for only
one hour a day, while users between 12 to 18 get two hours. Those who try to play beyond the
time limit will be locked out of time.
