【題目】

In 1989, an 8.2 earthquake almost destroyed America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. A father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.

After the unforgettable scare, he remembered the promise he had made to his son, "No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless but he kept remembering his promise to his son.

Remembering his son's classroom would be in the back right comer of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the ruins. As he was digging, other helpless parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying, "It's too late! They're all dead! You can't help! Go home! Come on! Face reality. There's nothing you can do!"

To each parent he replied with one line, "Are you going to help me now?" And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone. The firefighter leader showed up and tried to pull him off the ruins, saying, “Fires are breaking out. Explosions are happening everywhere. You're in danger. We'll take care of it. Go home." This loving father asked, "Are you going to help me now?" The police came and said, "You're angry, worried and it's over. You are making others in danger. Go home. We'll handle it!" He replied, "Are you going to help me now?" No one helped.

He went on alone because he needed to know for himself, "Is my boy alive or is he dead?" He dug for eight hours ...12 hours ...24 hours ...36 hours ... then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son's voice. He screamed his son's name, "Armand!" He heard back, "Dad?! It's me, Dad! I told the other children not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you would save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised, no matter what happens, you will always be there for me! You did it, Dad!" "What's going on there? How is it?" the father asked. "There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We're scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here. When the building fell down, it made a triangle, and it saved us."

"Come out, boy!" "No, Dad! Let the other kids out first because I know you'll get me! No matter what happens, I know you'll always be there for me!"

【題目】 Butterflies are some of the most beautiful insects in the world. However, what interests the scientists most is not their fascinating looks, but how they sense nature. They use their senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste to find food, lay eggs in good places and avoid hungry enemies.

Butterflies have large compound(復(fù)合的) eyes. No matter where the things are, they can see them without turning their heads. 【1】 They are more possible to notice a sea of flowers than a single plant. Butterflies do not "see” colors. They are color blind. 【2】The light on many flowers guides butterflies to honey.

How do butterflies smell? Butterflies have a very well-developed sense of smell, but it is not in their noses, since they don't have one. Sense organs (器官)are in their feet, and many other parts of the body.【3】

Do butterflies use their mouths to taste the food they find? Not really. Butterflies' feet have sense organs that can taste the sugar in flower honey. They let the butterflies know if there is something delicious. 【4】They feed their babies using a long tube(管道)，and they get all their food from this tube as well.

Butterflies don't have ears. Instead, they “hear" sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations(震動(dòng)).Butterflies' body is covered with sensory hairs. 【5】.For example, the hairs give butterflies information about the wind when they're flying. And where there is rain, the hairs can also tell butterflies.

The scientists say that butterflies may have senses we don't even know about yet, because their body is very different from ours. Therefore, it is difficult to understand when we use our own human senses to study it.

A. Like most insects, butterflies are very nearsighted.

B. They can let butterflies feel the environment around.

C. So it is not difficult for butterflies to find flower honey.

D. But they can sense sunlight, which tells them the direction.

E. They can help butterflies find their favorite flower honey food.

F. Some female butterflies taste the plants carefully to find places to lay eggs.

【題目】 In the future, more and more people will move to big cities. To prepare for this, cities are becoming smarter and more efficient, with the help of big data.

Local governments are already collecting lots of important data. For example, there are sensors（感測器）that measure noise, pollution and traffic. This is known as "smart city technology". In the future, this data will make our lives much easier, by helping us save energy and keep the city tidy. There might even be smart posts that cull clean the air, or robots that empty rubbish bins when they are full.

Such technologies may be far off in the future, but others are just around the corner: self-driving cars are today being tested all around the world. Experts believe that this technology will change what cities look like. If self-driving taxis can use smart city data to find the best way to take you to your destination（目的地), there will be fewer traffic jams and more space for you to walk or ride a bike. People will probably stop buying cars altogether.

▲ : drones（無人機(jī)）are becoming more and more common nowadays. Cheap and fast

drone delivery services are only a few years away, and the sky above our heads will soon be very crowded. Hopefully, smart city technology will help prevent traffic jams in the air. Perhaps, drones will one day be able to transport people around town. Then, you could fly wherever you want to go!

To summarize, the cities of the future will be very different. What kind of city would you like to live in when you grow up?

【1】Why are the sensors mentioned in the second paragraph?

A.To show that cities are becoming much smarter.

B.To explain why there are more people in big cities.

C.To help people in cities live a more exciting life.

D.To invent some new ways of keeping the city tidy.

【2】What is a good result of using self-driving technology?

A.There will be fewer cars in the future.

B.Few people will ride a bike around.

C.People will have better driving skills.

D.All the car factories will go out of business.

【3】Which can be put in ▲ ?

A.But there will be traffic jams in the air

B.New technology will appear in the future

C.Change is not only happening on the ground

D.Technology will surely play a part in our future life

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Transportation in the Future.B.Important Data in Cities.

【題目】 Lauri Berner grew up in the mountains in Germany, “I remember as a child looking up into the sky and watching eagles fly over the valley where I lived,” she says. “That's when I first decided that I'd love to leap into the air and feel the wind lift me off my feet.”

Laura had her first paragliding(滑翔傘) lesson when she was sixteen, and fell in love with the sport. “You run down a mountain slope, the wind catches your wing, and then you're flying like a bird. It feels fantastic. The views of the mountains from up there are stunning.”
