I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do：the fastest，shortest，easiest road，especially when I was alone with four noisy，restless kids who hate confinement (限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast，stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner，our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices：leave Banner with my husband，or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids，a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour，let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. Theyd get back in the car breathless and energized，smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads，catching grasshoppers in waisthigh grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water，it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizonsWe eventually arrived at my parents doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road，everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car，ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journeyand the best part of yourself.51Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents home?AIt was less tiring.BIt would be faster and safer.CHer kids would feel less confined. DShe felt better with other drivers nearby.52The author stopped regularly on the country roads to_.A. relax in the fresh air B. take a deep breath C. take care of the lamb D. let the kids play with Banner53. What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?A. Freeways are where beauty hides.B. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.C. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits ones health. D. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.54. Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?A. To give herself some time to read.B. To order some food for them.C. To play a game with them.D. To let them cool down.55. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Charm of the DetourB. The Road to BraveryC. Creativity out of NecessityD. Road Trip and Country Life BBefore the opening of the Cape Cod Canal in 1914，the only way ships could leave Boston was on a route around Race Pointthe northern tip of Cape Cod. However，navigation during the 18th century was a nightmare，because the floating cross current(交叉氣流) around Race Point caused countless accidents. So building a lighthouse to lighten the place was very necessary.As early as 1808，the people of Provincetown requested a lighthouse on Race Point，but it took Congress eight years to react when they finally paid $ 8,000 on April 27,1816 to build a lighthouse Race Point Light，which was located in the town of Provincetown，Massachusetts. It was first built of stone 25 feet high with no foundation and its light was 30 feet above the sea. It was equipped with one of the nations earliest revolving lights.Actually，there were two other lighthouses on Cape Cod，but they were hit by a storm in October 1841.In the following year，Race Point Light was examined by IW.P. Lewis，who realized the lights importance. He said，“The light should be useful to all ships leaving Boston. However，its illuminating power is so weak that people would hardly be able to differentiate it from the lights set on the ships which stay in the bay，or close by. It hasnt played its role as a lighthouse well.”The result was that old lighthouse was destroyed and a new iron lighthouse with a proper foundation was put up to take its place. The new lighthouse was 45 feet high. Although the original keepers house was in good repair，it was destroyed too and a new one was built. Today the lighthouse has been automated(自動化)and Race Point Light is still an active aid to navigation.You can park at Race Point Beach and walk about 45 minutes to the lighthouse. Sunset at Race Point Light is one of the Cape Cods most popular scenes. And at times whales can be seen in the lighthouse. For reservations to stay one night in the keepers house at Race Point call(508)4879930.56. The underlined word “illuminating” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A. preventing accident B. cooling the air C. providing light D. predicting weather57. Why was the original Race Point Light replaced by a new one?A. It was too old to repair properly. B. It hadnt done a good job in helping the passing ships.C. It was destroyed in a storm in October 1841. D. It wasnt high enough and had no foundation.58. According to the passage，Race Point Light _.A. is also a tourist spot now B. stopped working after 1914C. was built by IW.P. Lewis D. has been automated since 184159. What can be learned from the passage?A. The keepers house is open to the public now.B. The present keepers house is the original one.C. The two other lighthouses had revolving lights too. D. The government didnt agree to build Race Point Light.60. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. The building process of Race Point Light. B. The tourism value of Race Point Light.C. The three lighthouses on Cape Cod. D. The history of Race Point Light.任務(wù)型閱讀：請從以下選項（A、B、C、D、E和F）中選出符合各段意思的小標(biāo)題，選項中有一項是多余選項。A. Structure of a hurricaneB. Preparing for a HurricaneC. How Hurricanes MoveD. How Hurricanes startE. Hurricane NamesF. Hurricane DamageHurricanesHurricanes are huge tropical(熱帶的) storms that can be hundreds of kilometers wide. They bring along very strong winds and a lot of rainfall. They often cause flooding near the coasts and sea levels rise.61. _Hurricanes are born over tropical oceans, usually during late summer and early autumn. They need two things to get them started heat and moist air. During the summer the ocean surface heats up and warm moist air starts to rise. Cool air sinks down to replace it. This creates an area of low pressure. The rotation of the earth creates winds around the center of such a low-pressure area. In the northern hemisphere the air moves counter clockwise, in the southern part clockwise. Such a system is called a cyclone. When warm air rises, it cools and creates clouds. Soon, thunderstorms form and it starts to rain.All hurricanes begin as cyclones but not all cyclones become storms or hurricanes. Some die out a few days after they start. They dont have enough energy to become a hurricane. When winds are stronger than 119 km an hour a storm officially becomes a hurricane. 62. _The center of a hurricane is called the eye, a calm area with little rainfall. It is about 30 to 50 km wide. Inside the eye the sea can rise up to one meter because the air moves up. The eye wall is around the eye. This is an area of thunderstorms, rain and the strongest windsup to 300 km an hour. Then come long bands of rain clouds that are curved towards the center of the hurricane.63. _In the northern hemisphere hurricanes normally move in a westward direction and then they turn north and northeast. Their path takes them away from the warm tropical water of the equator（赤道）. When hurricanes move over colder water or over land they lose a lot of their energy. They slow down and as time goes on, they disappear. In the southern hemisphere their path leads them to the south and southeast.64. _When a tropical storm forms over the Caribbean Sea it gets a name. Every year the first storm of the season is given a name that starts with the letter A, the second storm gets a name starting with B and so on. Years ago only womens names were used for tropical storms. Today male and female names alternate(輪流交替) for example, the first storm is named Alexandra, the second one Billy, then Catherine etc. Each year new names are used so that you can connect a storm to a certain year.65. _Hurricanes are causing more and more damage throughout the Gulf Region, mainly because the population is constantly growing. Many things can be done to protect yourself and your property during a hurricane Keep emergency supplies of food and water; keep a battery-powered radio ready in case the power goes out. Listen to the instructions you get; keep the gas tank of your car full, in case you have to leave quickly; protect your house by nailing board over the windows and doors. Tie down loose objects; find out which roads are best to take you away from the storm; leave your house as soon as you are ordered to leave, etc.五 書面表達(dá) (滿分15分)假如你是李華，你最近對一個叫Dustbot的機(jī)器人很感興趣，想要把它介紹給你的英國朋友Emily。請你給Emily寫一封電子郵件，內(nèi)容包括：1. 對Dustbot的描述：a. 它看起像一個綠色的垃圾桶；b. 你可以通過短信把它叫到家門口，然后把垃圾扔
