Seventeen years ago, Matt Harding quit his day job to go on a journey that would lead him to more than 30 countries in seven continents. Best known for a dance that looks very similar to running in place while moving his body, Matt and his dance eventually attracted the attention of Stride Gum. The company then paid Matt to travel, dance and record videos. He has danced with locals in Mulind, Rwanda; and in a narrow canyon in Petra, Jordan; and in a crowded street in Tokyo, Japan, all on the expenses provided by his sponsor (赞助商). “I’m most thankful for dancing. The dancing gives me an opportunity to see places I’d never get to otherwise. The people and experiences have taught me a great deal,” Matt Harding said. Every state has its highest point, and Wilson Moniz has climbed them all. By the age of 12, Wilson had already earned the record of being the youngest climber to reach all 50 high points in the United States. His journey, which lasted just 43 days, took him from the lowest high point in Florida to the highest point in Alaska. “It’s important to try to encourage kids to go outside and protect public land.” Wilson Moniz said. Helen Thayer became the first woman to ski solo to the North Pole at age fifty. She walked across the landscapes, experienced the low temperatures and faced the threat of polar bears. At age 63, Helen walked across all 1,600 miles of the Gobi Desert. She’s also boated 2,200 miles of the Amazon River, which she’s written books about. She said, “That I was the first woman to reach the pole on a solo adventure was unimportant to me. It was the learning experience and the struggle to overcome the challenges that made the journey so worthwhile and precious.” 【1】What was Matt Harding most thankful for? A.The dancing that had a special pattern. B.The experiences that taught him a great deal. C.The expenses which his sponsor had provided. D.The videos he had made with his special dancing. 【2】What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Helen got a precious prize for her solo adventure to the North Pole. B.Helen succeeded in her journey to the North Pole thanks to her husband. C.Helen was proud to be the first woman to reach the North Pole by herself. D.Helen thought highly of what she had learned and overcome during her journey. 【3】What can be the best title of the passage? A.Skiing to the North Pole B.Dancing Brings an Opportunity C.Three Inspiring Travelers’ Stories D.The Youngest Climber in the US |

Dogs have a kind of sensor at the end of their nose that helps them recognize small changes in temperature when other animals are nearby. The scientists say the discovery can help researchers better understand how some animals identify their prey (猎物). The scientists reported that the wet skin surface at the end of a dog’s nose is full of nerve endings. “Dogs are able to sense the thermal radiation (热辐射) coming from warm bodies or weak thermal radiation and they can also direct their behavior according to this signal”, wrote the researchers. “We tested whether we can find an area in the brain that shows higher activity if they are exposed to a warmer object.” Brain imaging tests showed increased brain activity when dogs were shown objects that were warmer than their environment. The study had two sets of experiments. In one, researchers used weak thermal radiation to train three dogs. In the other, 13 dogs were given brain imaging tests to see how the brain reacted if they recognized weak thermal radiation. Researchers were careful to note that all the animals were privately owned. The owners gave “informed permission for their dogs to be used in the study”. Researchers noted, “It is possible that other animals own a similar sense and that adds a new chapter to the story of prey-predator (捕食者) relationships.” They wrote that in the gray wolf, the closest wild relative of dogs, “the ability to sense the radiation from warm bodies would be advantageous for such predators”. 【1】What helps dogs sense other animals nearby? A.The small change in temperature. B.The higher activity in their brain. C.The nerve endings at the end of their noses. D.The close relations with gray wolves. 【2】Why did researchers give brain imaging tests to the dogs? A.To find out if dogs have thermal radiation. B.To find out how dogs get away from danger. C.To find out the relations between dogs and wolves. D.To measure the dogs’ reaction to other warmer objects. 【3】Where can you most probably read this passage? A.In a travel magazine. B.In a science report. C.In an advertisement. D.In a health report. |

A former teacher who went on to join the navy discovered the influence his small act of kindness had on one student thanks to a chance meeting years later. Sharing the story online, the man said while teaching science in 2014 and 2015, there was one girl who sat at the front of the class and was “filled with typical middle school anxiety”. She was quiet and “kept to herself”, but was always writing in a notebook during lessons. He said, “I decided to look over her shoulder and see what she was writing.” I suck. I’m ugly. I’m stupid. No one likes me. I hate me. etc. ‟Without thinking, I took the notebook from her and started writing in it.” You’re great; you’re beautiful; you’re intelligent; you’re loved, “the opposite of everything she wrote, then handed it back.” He said neither of them made a big deal of it at the time, but she slowly started opening up to him, talking more and coming out of her shell in class. Fast forward a few years, the teacher was in the navy, serving on the other side of the country. One day when he talked to a woman they discovered they were from the same area. They realized he had taught at the same school her cousin attended and she asked if he remembered teaching her. After telling the story about the notebook, the woman replied, “It is you. She still has that notebook. She looks at it time to time to get her through the tough times.” In the story he wrote, “I was amazed. I almost started crying right there. Teachers always talk about how rare it is to hear from students in the future about how they influenced them. I only taught for a few years but I really tried and really cared. Even though that path didn’t turn out how I had planned, it’s comforting to know that I did some good in that time.” 【1】What attracted the attention of the teacher? A.The girl was ugly and no one liked her. B.The girl didn’t speak to her classmates in class. C.The girl sitting at the front of the class was active. D.The girl kept quiet and writing in her notebook during lessons. 【2】What do the underlined words mean in paragraph 3? A.No longer feeling inspired. B.No longer keeping silent. C.No longer hiding in the shell. D.No longer writing in a notebook. 【3】Why did the author feel amazed? A.Because his former job did not meet his expectation. B.Because he only taught for a few years but he succeeded. C.Because he learned how he had influenced a former student. D.Because he met the cousin of a student he taught a few years ago. 【4】What can we infer from the passage? A.Encouragement can make a great difference. B.It’s unusual that a student lacks confidence. C.Students usually don’t communicate with their teachers. D.Almost all students have experienced middle school anxiety. |

To put missing sentences into a text, you have to work like an investigator and look for clues. 【1】 Usually these streets were full of busy people (Missing sentence). It was completely quiet on the streets outside. Guy thought it was strange. Now they were completely empty. The snow that had fallen looked like a carpet. Outside looked like inside. The missing sentence refers back to a former sentence as there is a reference to streets (these streets). 【2】 In the missing sentence we know that usually the streets were full. This links to the following sentence as “now they were empty”. Here “they” refers back to “the streets”. Read all the sentences taken out of the text. Read the text and match the sentences with the gaps you are sure about. 【3】 There will always be a link between these sentences and the missing sentence. Look for reference words. What do they refer to? Typical reference words include: personal pronouns (I, you, he, she...), possessive pronouns (my, mine, your...) and demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those). Besides, look for discourse markers such as in addition, however, as a result, then, etc. 【4】 If you think there are two possible sentences for one gap, write down both answers and check again later. Write down all the possibilities for each gap. If you make the wrong choice at the beginning, this may affect the rest of your answers. You don’t have to read the text in order. You can move backwards and forwards to different paragraphs. There may be extra sentences you don’t need. 【5】 A.Here are the tips on how to order paragraphs. B.The missing sentence also refers to the next sentence. C.This example and the tips that follow show you how. D.Read the sentences before and after the gap carefully. E.Discourse markers are really important to help you find the missing sentences. F.If you are not sure which sentence goes in the gap, leave it and move on to the next. G.But remember, there will always be a link between the correct missing sentence and the text. |
