Battling freezing temperatures, total darkness, and other dangerous flying conditions, a plane left the South Pole on Wednesday after rescuing a sick worker from a U.S. research base. After the patient and flight crew rest , the plane will make its way to South America , where the patient will receive medical care . The daring rescue mission(任务）began last week when two planes flew from Canada to Rothera, a British base on the Antarctic Peninsula. On Tuesday, just one of the planes left Rothera on a 10-hour trip to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, where the sick worker was located. The station is usually unreachable during Antarctica's long winter, from February to October. Forty-eight people live at the base, including a doctor and a physician's assistant. But when the crew there determined the worker needed medical help that couldn't be provided on site, the emergency rescue mission began. A small crew, including a pilot, co-pilot, medical worker, and flight engineer, made the 1, 500-mile trip from Rothera in a Twin Otter plane. It is the only type of plane capable of flying in Antarctica's winter cold. It can operate in temperatures as low as-103F. The temperature in the South Pole on Tuesday was -73F . In such conditions, an aircraft's fuel and even its batteries need to be warmed up before it can take off. The pitch-black sky and the threat of high winds and sudden weather changes make such flights extremely risky and rare. This rescue is only the third time an emergency mission has been made to the research base since 1999. The National Science Foundation, which runs the station, has not said who was rescued, or the medical condition of the person. The names of the crew members who made the daring flight have not been made public either . But according to Peter West, a National Science Foundation spokesman, the mission “went all according to plan”. 【1】Why did the plane fly to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station? A.To do scientific research. B.To transport medicine C.To rescue a sick worker. D.To supply necessities. 【2】What do we know about the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station? A.It is a British research base . B.It is a US research base. C.It is a ten-hour flight from Canada . D.It is a medical centre on the Antarctic Peninsula. 【3】From the third paragraph we can infer . A.the doctor there is not experienced B.the base is lack of medicine C.the patient asked to be taken back D.the patient was seriously ill 【4】What could be the best title for the passage? A.A daring rescue B.An interesting flight C.Flying to Antarctic D.Patient receives medical care |

There are billions of people on this planet, and many of us love to eat meat. Can the demand be filled in a sustainable(可持续的) and affordable way? A bunch of businessmen are not only optimistic but are working to make this happen sooner than you may think. The environmental effects caused by meat consumption (食用)—waste, animal treatment, health problems and even the greenhouse gas effects that are potentially caused by methane gas produced by cows—have given rise to a number of startups(新兴公司)looking to develop meats in different ways. For example, San Francisco-based Memphis Meats is developing cell-based meats in its labs without requiring any animals. Israel’s Future Meat Technologies is doing the same by producing fat and muscle cells that are being tested by chefs in Jerusalem. All of these companies use special processes to harvest cells from animals and grow them in a lab. But don’t worry if you’re not a meat lover. Startups such as Jet Eat, which is also based in Israel, are working on food products grown in labs that are plant-based and replicate (复制) meats using natural elements while still keeping flavor, consistency and the “overall sensory experience”, according to a report on NoCamels. Jet Eat, which was founded in early 2018, aims to 3D-print their lab-grown products by 2020. As you can imagine, there are plenty of barriers facing the industry. Educating the public is a big one. Another controversial issue is the labeling of the products. Recently both the USDA and the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) announced that they will begin jointly controlling the new “cell-based meat” category. Many of us have concerns about the challenges facing future generations as our global population increases and the earth’s natural resources decreases. The good news is that there are plenty of businessmen around the world—like those producing lab-grown meats—who are working to solve some of these problems and make a little money in the process. Nothing wrong with that. 【1】Why do some companies begin to develop new kinds of meats? A.To analyse the causes of air pollution. B.To stress the importance of protecting wild animals. C.To make people less interested in eating meat and more healthy. D.To meet people’s demand for meat in environmentally friendly ways. 【2】What’s special about the lab-grown meats of Jet Eat? A.They cost less. B.They are plant-based. C.They are more delicious. D.They are available on the market now. 【3】Which of the following is a barrier lab-grown meat industries must deal with? A.How to let people accept the meat. B.How to give the meat an elegant name. C.How to produce the meat in large amounts. D.How to reduce the cost of making the meat. 【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards lab-grown meats? A.Supportive. B.Opposing. C.Ambiguous. D.Cautious. |

Parents usually teach their children how to cross the street safely, by looking both ways for cars. But do they also teach them to put away their cellphones? The city of Honolulu, Hawaii wants everyone to learn that lesson. Texting while crossing the street will soon be banned in the city. Beginning on October 24, you will be fined from $15 to $99 if you step into a Honolulu street while looking at your phone. Honolulu is the first major U.S. city to ban what is called “distracted walking”. It recently passed a law in a seven to two vote. The law says, “No pedestrian shall cross a street or highway while viewing a mobile electronic device.” In other words, do not look at a screen when you cross the street or you could be fined. The law’s creators hope it will lower the number of people hit and killed by cars in the city. Mayor Kirk Caldwell told the Reuters News agency,“We hold the unfortunate distinction of being a major city with more pedestrians being hit in crosswalks, particularly our seniors, than almost any other city in the country. The law includes all electronic devices with screens: cellphone, tablets, gaming devices, digital cameras and laptop computers. The law does permit an exception. Pedestrians may use such devices in the street to call emergency services and rescue workers, such as firefighters and police officers. The Governors Highway Safety Association, or GHSA, says as the use of cell phones rises, pedestrian deaths in the United States increased 25 percent between 2010 and 2015. That trend continued in 2016 with the number of pedestrian deaths rising to almost 6000, 11% higher than in 2015. Other U.S. cities may follow Honolulu. The state of Washington was the first to outlaw distracted driving back in 2007. Now, 46 other states as well as D. C. , Puerto Rico, Guam and the U. S.Virgin Islands, have laws against texting while driving, reports the GHSA. If you still want to text while walking, you could avoid being fined in Honolulu by using a voice-controlled digital assistant such as Siri or Google Assistant. Or you could just wait until you are again, safely, off the street. 【1】What do most parents fail to tell their children when they cross the street? A.Not to view cell phones B.To look to both ways for traffic C.To go across the street safely D.Not to carry cell phones 【2】By making the law, the creators want to ________. A.reduce the number of accidents related to pedestrians B.lower the number of people using mobile electronic devices C.make city streets and highways safer for drivers D.increase the use of mobile electronic devices in public places 【3】A pedestrian can use his cell phone in the streets when_____________ A.he wants to call friends B.his cell phone rings C.there is an emergency D.no cars can be seen 【4】What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us? A.Pedestrians deaths have been increasing. B.More and more people use mobile devices. C.There are more pedestrians deaths in the US. D.Ways have been found to deal with car accidents. |

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth, Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me."No Santa Claus!” She shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it.” That rumor has been going around for years,and it makes me mad, plain mad. “Now, put on your coat, and let's go.” “Go where, Grandma?” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money,” she said, “and buy something for someone who needs it I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby's I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people. competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs Pollock’s grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess (休息) during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that. “Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down. " Yes,” The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1 ： That evening Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 ： Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open and finally it ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
