21、What makes a house a home?

Not size, of course. I’ve been in some of the grandest houses in America, and it’s clear that no one lives there earlier this year, I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia, where we sat on chairs next to the hostess’ bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I’ve been in since.

Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released (发行) Home. The Blueprints of Our Lives. There Edwards writes, “This isn’t a book about houses; it’s a book about homes. About the values they rest on, the dreams they are filled with, and the people they have shaped.” Edwards writes, “The houses and circumstances are different, but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”

Whether you’re sitting in an airport right now, waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving, or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive, you know what he’s talking about.

We’ve lived in our townhouse for 21 years. It’s home now. The loose windows that shake in the wind. The fireplace so shallow it holds only one log. The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by. It’s where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed. I lived there for only 18 years, but it will always be my true home. Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines.

While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are. As Edwards writes, “Home is family. Home is safety. Home is faith. ”

Happy homecoming.

【1】According to the author, what makes a house a home?

A．All the belongings in the house.

B．Feelings of warmth and comfort.

C．The houses and circumstances.

D．Drinking with friends on the kitchen counter.

【2】About the book Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives, we know that ________.

A．it was the description of Edwards’ houses

B．it is mainly about houses

C．it helps us understand the concept (概念) of home

D．it was written by the author of the text

【3】What did the author mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace?

A．His house was too old to live in.

B．He missed the feeling of home.

C．He hated living there.

D．He missed his old friends too much.

22、   A shark that walks in water instead of swimming might sound like a creature straight out of science fiction. However, that is precisely how the fish -- found in the waters of Northern Australia moves across the seafloor .The unique ocean animals were discovered by a team of scientists led by Dr. Christine Dudgeon from Australia's University of Queensland during a 12 year global conservation study.

The newly-found sharks have evolved (进化) to survive in low oxygen environments, enabling them to hunt during low tides. The researchers believe their ability to use their fins (鳍) to walk affords the sharks a remarkable edge over the smaller animals they try to bunt. “While they are super hunters in their shallow habitat, the tiny sharks present no threat to people," says Dudgeon.“At less than a meter long on average, they're incredibly cute little animals that do not look like sharks at all," she adds.

A DNA analysis of skin samples from the live fish suggests that walking sharks broke away from their original population and became a distinct species about nine million years ago. Though that may appear to be a long time ago, it is relatively recent given that sharks have been around for more than 400 million years. In fact, Dudgeon and her team believe walking sharks are the youngest kind of sharks on Earth!

The researchers say that the sharks' small numbers and small habitat make them extremely vulnerable (易受伤害) to natural disasters and overfishing. They are currently on the Nature Red List, which lists species at risk. Dudgeon and her team believe sensible conservation management plans are urgently needed to protect the walking sharks and other endangered animals from further threats.

【1】What is the most noticeable feature of the newly-found sharks?

A．They are cute and harmless to humans.

B．They can survive in their shallow habitat.

C．They walk on their fins across the seafloor.

D．They are the youngest kind of sharks on Earth.

【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The evolution of the shark.

B．The behavior of the sharks.

C．The population of the sharks.

D．The DNA samples of the sharks.

【3】What should be done without delay according to Dudgeon and her team?

A．Adjusting the methods of fishing.

B．Putting the sharks on the Nature Red List

C．Changing the sharks' living environments.

D．Adopting necessary measures to protect the sharks.

【4】In which part of a website can we read the text?

A．Environment.

B．Nature.

C．Education.

D．Geography.

23、As ever, the Summer Movie Season is full of series and special effects. But if you’re prepared to look for them, you’ll find some smaller, odder films flying beneath the radar.

Book Club (May 18): A great quartet（四人组）of actresses (Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen) headline this comedy about a book club that gets back into a romantic mood after reading Fifty Shades Of Grey. It sounds ridiculous, but if that is a hook for a romantic comedy, it will be trying something new.

Tag (June 15): This comedy looks like it might share some DNA with The Hangover, as a group of friends reunite over the years to play a never-ending game of tag—Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Hannibal Buress, Jake Johnson, Ed Helms, Leslie Bibb, Rashida Jones and Isla Fisher star. In other words: a lot of people we already know are funny, plus Jeremy Renner!

Uncle Drew (June 29): The attraction is that a young guy (Lil Rel Howery) has to renew a team of old men—played by NBA legends in old-age makeup—to play alongside his Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving) in a big neighborhood game. This is such a strange idea for a comedy that I cannot wait to see it. Stars include Shaquille O’ Neal, Nate Robinson, Chris Webber, Lisa Leslie, Reggie Miller, J.B. Smoove and an up-and-coming comedy actress, Tifany Haddish.

Skyscraper (July 13): It wouldn’t be an action-movie season without Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson running off a crane（起重机）and leaping in a way that in reality would result in certain death but that in a movie results in a safe landing! I’m not here to tell you it’s more than it appears. I’m here to tell you it’s probably exactly as it appears. It comes out on July 13, so perhaps on the hottest day of the summer, forget your troubles and see The Rock save his family.

【1】Which film can you enjoy this May?

A. Book Club.   B. Tag.   C. Uncle Drew.   D. Skyscraper.

【2】What is strange about Uncle Drew?

A. A lot of people in old-age makeup are very funny.

B. A young man has to employ some NBA legends to play in a game.

C. Some current NBA superstars will star in the film.

D. The author cannot wait to see the film.

【3】Which film is not a comedy?

A. Book Club.   B. Tag.   C. Uncle Drew.   D. Skyscraper.

24、   People depend on plants. We use plants for food, cloth, shelter (住处), and even the air we breathe (呼吸).

Plants keep our air and water clean. Green plants give us oxygen (氧气). Oxygen is part of the air we breathe.

Plants are also part of the water cycle (水循环). Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air.

Plants give us a lot of the food on the earth. Fruits, vegetables, and grains (谷物) come from plants. Without plants, we would not have bread, rice, carrots, apples, oranges, or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home. Having your own garden helps the earth as well.

When you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don’t need to take your food to shops. You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food. You can just pick it out of the ground or off a plant and put it into a basket!

Trees are an important plant resource (资源). Trees provide wood to build homes and furniture. Trees are used to make lots of things around your home and at your school. And trees provide fruits that are good for you. Without trees, the earth would be a very different place.

【1】____________________is part of the air we breathe.

A.Sunlight B.Water C.Food D.Oxygen

【2】What happens to most of the water that a plant takes in?

A.It goes back into the air. B.It stays in the plant.

C.It goes into the ground. D.It stays in the river.

【3】What does the phrase “cut down on” mean in Paragraph 5?

A.Cause. B.Accept. C.Reduce. D.Expect.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A.A Different Place B.The Uses of Plants

C.Food on the Earth D.Gardens at Home

【5】You would find the passage in ____________________.

A.an interesting novel B.a book about animals

C.a popular play D.a book about nature

26、根据写作要求，短文内容，写出一篇连贯完整的短文。词数不少于60。

Four teams of mountaineers set out on a race to conquer (征服) an unclimbed mountain peak in the Himalayas. The Canadian team chose a long, but safe route, while the British, Chinese and Russian teams chose a faster but steep and dangerous route up the mountain.

When night fell, the teams made camp on the mountainside. But the next morning, the sun rapidly rose air temperature and the strong wind caused a heavy snowfall, which led to a terrible avalanche. The disaster struck and some members of the British, Chinese and Russian teams were swept away and killed. But the Canadians didn’t know what had happened.

It was an hour after the disaster and there was no hope of finding any survivors. The leaders of the British, Chinese and Russian teams, met to discuss how to successfully keep all the survivors alive.

The table above was a summary of what they could collect. The leaders made a final decision that they had to find a way to conquer the mountain and put their flags on the peak.
