10、 spent an afternoon in the backyard, maybe grilling or enjoying a basketball game, when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet? There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”， often used in a situationa quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience,

11、 we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Lets hear what scientists have to say.A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storma singlecell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there

12、is usually only one main updraft, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directionseven from the direction in which

13、the storm is traveling.As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a lowpressure vacuum(真空) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapour(水蒸汽) in it changes i

14、nto tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles like dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud

15、, the air gets spit out(被擠出) at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.Most thunderstorms, though, dont start with calm. Tha

16、ts because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. Theres so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm, it might be really windy!1、Which best fits the description of a particular kind of storm?AA storm with

17、 air drawn from every direction.BA thunderstorm without strong winds.CA thunderstorm with a single shape.DA storm fueled by moving air from the ground.2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?ACold and dry air.BWarm and damp air.CCold and damp air.DWarm and dry air.3、Which does t

18、he writer most likely agree to?APresence of the calm relies on stable air.BStorm happens without air moving up and down.CThe drier the air is, the bigger the storm will be.DNot all thunderstorms start with the calm.4、What is the passage mainly about?ACauses and effects of a heavy storm.BAn explanati

19、on of the calm before a storm.CA personal experience of a heavy storm.DA brief description of a peaceful storm.22（8分） If it were up to me, Id write this piece next week or even later. Let the dust settle a bit. But I have my fathers insistent voice in my head: the story is now, so you write it now.

20、No one wants to read last weeks news.My father Michael was a journalist. He started at age 16 on his local paper, the Luton News, and after nine years there, he went on to a six-decade career that saw him write more than 40 biographies of Hollywood stars and spend a quarter-century presenting a week

21、ly radio show.From him I learned about deadlines and accuracy, and absorbed his rule about professional clothing, one he had been taught by his first boss. Even when he was working at home, my father would follow that rule: shirt and tie, every day.There were other less obvious lessons. The first is

22、 about being manly. Driven and competitive, he wasnt present for the birth of any of his three children, but he was the very model of being loving and faithful. My father never took me to the football or taught me to change a tyre. In a pub, he might manage some drinks, but his main focus would usua

23、lly be the food menu. He was a model of a different kind of maleness.But perhaps the biggest lesson I learned from him was about resilience (恢復(fù)). He got deep blows, losing both his wife and firstborn child, my sister Fiona, within two years of each other. And yet, somehow, he got back up again. He t

24、aught himself to cook and continued to dress neatly, picking out a bright jacket that ensured he stood out in a room. He would meet editors and write stories with the same hunger he had 65 years earlier. Younger colleagues keep using the same word about him: appealing.I hope I learned his resilience

25、, the way I learned about being a journalist. People keep telling me that my father was proud of me; and the truth is I was proud of him. Raised in a hard-up corner of wartime England, he went off to see the worldand he never stopped looking forward and upward, staring at the stars.1、What has made t

29、ickly after a Suffering23（8分） Robinson Crusoe is a famous novel written by Daniel Defoe. The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked (遭遇海難的). He spends 28 years on an island near Venezuela. The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe. He hopes someone will rescue

30、him, but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being rescued.Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719. Most experts believe the story is based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, who was a Scottish sailor. On an expedition (探險(xiǎn)) in 1704, Selkirk had an argument with his ship

31、s captain. Selkirk thought the ship was not safe and was about to fall apart.When the ship stopped at a remote island to get fresh water? Selkirk got off. He tried to get the other crew members to leave with him, but nobody would. The ship then sailed away without him. Selkirk spent four years and f

32、our months on his own on the island, known as Aguas Buenas.Selkirk was finally rescued by a ship that visited the island in 1709. The ships captain was grateful to Selkirk because he provided food for the crew when they arrived.Now archaeologists think they have found the remains of Selkirks camp on

33、 Aguas Buenas. They found two deep holes that would have held wooden posts. The archaeologists say this is evidence that Selkirk built a shelter there. The post holes are near a fresh water stream. They are located quite high up, which would have meant that Selkirk was able to watch out for the ship

34、s coming close to the island.The most interesting evidence, the archaeologists say, is part of a piece of equipment used by sailors to navigate (導(dǎo)航). Historians believe Selkirk was a navigator, so the instrument could have belonged to him.Robinson Crusoe was published ten years after Selkirk was res

35、cued. Most experts think Daniel Defoe heard and read stories about Selkirk, which inspired him to write the book.1、Why did Selkirk choose to land on the remote island?ABecause he had quarrels with the crew members.BBecause the captain ordered him to get fresh water.CBecause he wanted to go on an adv

36、enture there.DBecause he thought the ship he was on was in danger.2、We can infer from the text that the ship that visited Aguas Buenas in 1709 .Alost its way while sailingBlacked fresh water upon arrivalCwas being navigated by SelkirkDwas running out of food upon arrival3、How could Selkirk see ships

37、 that might rescue him, according to archaeologists?ABy asking the crew members on the ships.BBy sending messages to the ships captains.CBy watching from his shelter high on the island.DBy using a piece of equipment used to navigate.4、The author wrote the text to .Aexplain the origin of Robinson Cru

He told us that the elephant was in the rice fields below, only a few hundred yards away. As I started

39、 forward practically the whole population of the quarter flocked out of the houses and followed me. They had seen the rifle and were all shouting that I was going to shoot the elephant. It was fun to them, as it would be to an English crowd; besides, they wanted the meat. It made me a little uneasy.

40、 I had no intention of shooting the elephantI had merely sent for the rifle to defend myselfand it is always uneasy to have a crowd following you. I marched down the hill, looking and feeling a fool, with the rifle over my shoulder and an ever-growing army of people knocking and pushing at my heels.

41、 Beyond the huts there was a rice field a thousand yards across, muddy from the first rains. The elephant was standing eight yards from the road. He took not the slightest notice of the crowd. He was tearing up bunches of grass, beating them against his knees to clean them and feeding them into his

42、mouth.As soon as I saw the elephant I knew with perfect certainty that I ought not to shoot him. It is a serious matter to shoot a working elephant it is comparable to destroying a huge and costly piece of machinery. There, peacefully eating, the elephant looked no more dangerous than a cow. I thoug

43、ht then and I think now that his attack of “must” was already passing off, in which case he would merely wander harmlessly about. Moreover, I did not in the least want to shoot him.But at that moment I glanced round at the crowd that had followed me. It was an immense crowd, two thousand at the leas

44、t and growing every minute. I looked at the sea of the faces above the colorful clothesfaces all happy and excited over this bit of fun, all certain that the elephant was going to be shot. They were watching me as they would watch a magician about to perform a trick. They did not like me. But with t

45、he magical rifle in my hands I was momentarily worth watching. And suddenly I realized that I should have to shoot the elephant after all. The people expected it of me and I had got to do it; I could feel their two thousand wills pressing me forward. And it was at this moment that I first felt the h

46、ollowness, the uselessness of the white mans control in the East. Here was I, standing in front of the unarmed crowdseemingly the leading actor; but in reality only a puppet (傀儡). I understood in this moment that when the white man turns ruler of complete power it is his own freedom that he destroys

47、.1、The people were glad to think the elephant was to be shot mainly because _.Ait had damaged their homes and cropsBit would provide them with meatCit would make them feel entertainedDit was spoiling their rice fields2、When the writer saw the elephant he felt .AfoolishBafraidCpitifulDconfident3、The

Some conservationists work in educational fields, trying to improve human efforts to save animals from extinction. Animals are subject to illness

54、and injury, and some careers in zoology help to create a safe, stable animal population. Veterinary medicine is an important specialty field, and may take several years of intensive training to qualify as a certified veterinarian.
