Grays Peak (山顶) in Colorado rises 14,278 feet above sea level, too high for trees to grow toward the top, yet there are plenty of bushes and rocks. It was August 2018, and Wedelstedt, 56, was on her way back down the path with three friends. A storm was coming, and they were anxious to get off the mountain. When they approached a rocky drop of a couple of feet, Wedelstedt decided to jump over it. She landed on her left leg. Then she heard the snap (咔嚓声). Every step after that was great pain. Before long, she had to stop. As one friend ran down to get help, a number of other hikers, all strangers, attempted to help Wedelstedt down the narrow path by walking on either side of her to support her weight, but that proved slow and dangerous. Finally, one hiker, Matt, asked her, “How do you feel about a fireman’s carry?” Before she knew it, he had lifted her over his shoulder. “Now, I’m not tiny,” says Wedelstedt, a former college basketball star. Matt clearly couldn’t carry her all the way down by himself. So six hikers and one of her friends took turns carrying her while she tried to make light of a difficult situation. Three hours and two rock-strewn (遍布) miles later, this human conveyor belt finally met the doctors, who took Wedelstedt to the hospital. She has mostly recovered from her hike, but Wedelstedt knows she’ll never shake one thing from that day: the memory of the band of strangers who came to her rescue. “I am still in awe.” says Wedelstedt. 【1】What happened to Wedelstedt while climbing down the mountain? A.She was caught in a heavy storm. B.She injured her leg. C.She was blocked by rocks and bushes. D.She got lost the the mountain. 【2】How did Matt help Wedelstedt? A.By taking her directly to the hospital. B.By calling in firemen. C.By carrying her down the mountain. D.By giving her first aid. 【3】What is Wedelstedt's attitude towards the band of strangers? A.Respectful. B.Ambiguous. C.Sympathetic. D.Tolerant. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.Narrow Paths B.Lifelong friendship C.Dangerous Hikes D.Peak Performance |

Small seating in the economy-class (经济舱) sections of airplanes is not just uncomfortable but potentially life-threatening. Space has become so tight that passengers cannot protect themselves in the event of a crash. A report on a long distance flight from the doctors of Vienna stated that only 10% in economy class could adopt the recommended brace position on the plane's safety tips in case of emergency. And 30% of their fellow passengers traveling in first class could adopt the position, which is internationally recognized as improving the chances of survival in the event of a crash. The authors of the report are now calling for greater space between seat rows to increase safety. A spokesman for British Airways (BA), which is responsible for safety on all British planes, opposed the idea that small seating was a menace to passengers, "We don't think it is a safety matter," he said, "We have high safety standards and all UK aircraft meet them?" In the past month, both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic introduced sleeper seats, stressing the outstanding comfort in the front of the planes. But that space gained is space lost in economy. Until recently, economy class was at least “bearable”— with an 86-centimeter seat Scheduled Airlines such as BA and KLM gave passengers enough leg room and comfortable eats. But the arrival of new, weight-saving seats caused economy class to take a turn for the worse. Extra rows have been put into the plane, with the result that the average seat now is 79 centimetres. Singapore Airlines has become the latest carrier to narrow down its seats. It announced free wine for economy passengers last September, but at the same time reduced leg room by 8 centimetres. Some Qatar Airways offer the chance to upgrade - at a price - to seats which, at 89-91 centimetres, are roomier than those of most Scheduled Airlines. 【1】Which is true according to the report from doctors of Vienna? A.10% of passengers in economy class adopt the brace position. B.More spaces could increase the chance of survival. C.30% of passengers on board adopt the brace position. D.Passengers in first class are most likely to survive. 【2】Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “menace” in Paragraph 3? A.Threat. B.Advantage. C.Bonus. D.Concern. 【3】What can we learn from the passage? A.Scheduled Airlines produced new comfortable seats for economy class. B.Doctors from Vienna said less space between seats could increase danger in the crash. C.Spokesman for BA declared that narrow seat space was a threat. D.Qatar Airways offered larger seats with no more charge, 【4】Where does the passage most probably come from? A.A biography. B.A book review. C.A magazine. D.A realistic novel. |

A tiny Alaska village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent years as polar bears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice. More than 2,000 people visited the northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2018 to see polar bears in the wild. The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat(栖息地)of polar bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelft more bears are remaining on land to look for food. Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid-1990s and reported to the local government. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making homes in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. As more attention was given to the plight (困境)of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik. The village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2011, said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. "Today we're talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year," Reed said. Most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore, Bruce Inglangasak, a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours, said he had been offering polar bear tours since 2004. Most of his clients(客户)are from China and Europe, as well as from the lower 48 U. S. states. Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effective protection for polar bears with financial support from tourism development. 【1】What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovik? A.Food shortage. B.Climate change. C.Habitats' movement to shore. D.Their preference for land. 【2】How did villagers feel about more sights of bears on land? A.Excited. B.Indifferent. C.Concerned. D.Doubtful. 【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn. B.Kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually. C.Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide. D.Tourism affects the balance of nature. 【4】Which saying can describe the text? A.The fittest can survive. B.After a storm comes a calm. C.A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. D.Every coin has two sides. |

Nobody likes to think they are "that guy" at work. 【1】 So, what are some of the rudest things that people do at work - and why shouldn't you do them? • Behaving in an unacceptable way The most common form of this is eating smelly foods at lunchtime. Other things alike include body smell and its opposite, the wearing of strong perfume, messy desks, or bad breath. 【2】 • Checking email on your phone when you're talking to other people A recent survey shows that 49 percent of people said their bosses checked their phones while talking with them. 【3】 If you've ever wondered why your team members are unmotivated, this may be why. In fact, when you're talking to someone at work, you should reject any non-important calls. • 【4】 Do you like the sound of your own voice? Great. Perhaps it's time you learned to like the sound of other people's voices too. If you interrupt others when they speak, they'll dislike you and discount whatever you're saying. However, if you listen to what others say and show interest by asking intelligent questions, they'll love you and be likely to give you their support when you speak, • Boasting about how much you earn 【5】 If you show off your income to someone and then discover you get less than them, you'll look like a fool. If you earn more, they'll feel tired of you. So keep them guessing and hide your earning power in quiet ways 一 like always paying for the team coffees. A.Talking all the time B.Being a good listener C.Team-working can never be ignored. D.All these things will become part of your personal brand. E.It's better to be modest when you talk about your incomes. F.Bad behavior at work is common --and often we do it without thinking. G.An interesting email seems more valuable than the person you are actually talking to. |

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文，续写的词数应为150左右。 When I was ten years old, I lived with my family in a small house in rural South Jersey. I often accompanied my mother to the A&P to buy groceries. Without a car, we walked, and I would help her carry the bags. My mother had to shop every carefully, as she was a waitress, and her salary barely sustained (勉强维持) us. One day, while she was weighing prices, a promotional display for the World Book Encyclopedia (百科全书) caught my eye. The volumes were beautifully cream-colored. Volume I was ninety-nine cents with a ten-dollar purchase. All I could think of while shopping was the book. I stood at the register (收银台) with my mother, holding my breath as the cashier rang up the items. It came to over eleven dollars. My mother produced a five, some singles, and a handful of change. As she was counting out the money, I somehow found the courage to ask for the encyclopedia. “Could we get one?” I said, showing her the display. “It’s only ninety-nine cents.” I did not understand my mother’s increasing anxiety; she did not have enough change and had to sacrifice a large can of peas to pay the amount, “Not now, Patricia,” she said sternly. “Today is not a good day.” I packed the groceries and followed her home, upset. The next Saturday. my mother gave me a dollar and sent me to the A&P alone. Two quarts of milk and a loaf of bread — that’s what a dollar in 1957. I went straight to the World Book display. There was only one first volume left, which I placed in my cart (购物车). I didn’t need a cart, but took one so I could read as I went up and down the aisles. A lot of time went by and I knew I had to leave, but I couldn’t bear to part with the book. With no detective in sight, I, impulsively (冲动地), put it inside my shirt and zipped (扣上拉链) up my jacket. I was a tall, skinny kid, and I am certain the shape of the book was obvious. Paragraph1: My heart beating rapidly, I headed for the register. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Back home, I told my mother what I had promised the detective. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
