Her parents named her Araminta Harriet Ross. She was to become Harriet Tubman. She was one of about one million Africans in slavery in theUnited States.From the age of five, Harriet Tubmans owners made her work very hard. First, she cared for the child of the farm owner. Then, she did hard work on large farms.Although she could not read or write, Tubman learned from her parents to do what was right. Through her whole life, Tubman put herself in danger to help other people.One such act changed her life when she was 13 years old. Because she helped another slave, her owner threw a piece of metal at her and it hit her on the head. She was badly hurt. For the rest of her life, Tubmans head wound caused problems for her.When she was about 25 years old, Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman. But she was still a slave. Her life was so difficult that she decided to escape. She travelled for 145 kilometres, and finally crossed into the North. Tubman became a free woman.But Tubman could not leave her family enslaved in the South. So she travelled back to help them escape as well. Then, she made many trips and guided about 300 slaves to freedom. Tubman also fought bravely in the American Civil War and in 1865 slavery was not allowed in theUS.Harriet Tubman died in 1913. Her memory brings hope to many people especially to those who fight for justice (正义). She encouraged people to never give up. “If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.”21.

Africans Fight for FreedomB. Harriet Tubman: From Slave to HeroC. The History of Slavery in theUnited StatesD. The American Civil War: The North Against the SouthBOne of the most unusual flowering plants in the world, the Snowdonia hawkweed (斯诺登水兰), grows only in Snowdonia National Park in northern Wales. The area is rocky and mountainous, and the air is cool and wet. The Snowdonia hawkweed prefers this area. In fact, it grows nowhere else in the world. It is even picky about where it grows in the park.The Snowdonia hawkweed is about two inches tall with bright yellow flowers. It may not be the most beautiful plant in the world, but it is a favorite snack of sheep.In 1953, the Snowdonia hawkweed disappeared. People feared that the plant was gone forever. They believed that the sheep there had eaten the last few plants. So, the people who ran the park took the sheep away from the area, hoping that the hawkweed might return. In 2002, almost 50 years after it was thought to beextinct, a group of plant scientists found the yellow flowers in the park exactly where it had last been seen, and where it had been searched for without success. The hawkweed had returned!To try to prevent the plant from disappearing again, scientists collected seeds (种子) from the plant. Since 2002, the unusual plant has continued to appear in the park.25. The Snowdonia hawkweed _.A. is the most beautiful plant in the worldB. grows everywhere in northernWalesC. produces the most unusual flowersD. is an extremely unusual plant26. What happened to the Snowdonia hawkweed in 1953 _.A. worried a lot of peopleB. proved nature is powerfulC. made the park less attractiveD. caused a rise in the number of sheep27. The underlined word “extinct” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A. growing B. disappearingC. unusual D. dangerousCA new law in Arizona requires high school students to pass the United States citizenship (公民身份) test. Therere 100 questions onUShistory and government in the test.The Joe Foss Institute helped create the law. They want to pass a law in each of the 50 states to require high school students to pass the test.A 2010 national test showed only about 25 percent of students in their final year of high school had a good understanding of American government. Thirty-six percent did not have even a basic understanding.“Thats a shame, and its not only a shame,” said John Hale, the Associate Director of the Center for Civic (公民的) Education in California. Mr. Hale thinks it is dangerous when citizens do not know or care about how their government works. He says students do not only need to learn facts about government. They should also learn how to take part in their communities. “Requiring high school students to take the test might be a way to improve students civic behavior,” he says.But some wonder if a test young people take in high school will make adults more active in their communities.Sam Stone writes reports for the Joe Foss Institute. He says research shows that civic education does result in more involved (参与的) adults. He noted a 2012 survey that found the more young people studied civics in high school, the more likely they were to get actively involved in their communities.In another state,Virginia, many people are against the test. Meg Gruber is the President of the Virginia Education Association. She says students already take classes in civics andUShistory. And, she says, schools should not have to pay more for the test.Sam Stone agrees. He says his organization is paying for an online testing website. Schools can use the website to give the test for free.28. The US citizenship test _.A. is a required test all overAmericaB. was created by the Joe Foss InstituteC. helps students understand American governmentD. has been included in American law for five years29. What may John Hale agree with?A. How theUSgovernment works should not be open to the public.B. Its a shame that theUSgovernment is unpopular with students.C. Community activities outweigh facts about theUSgovernment.D. The US citizenship test will be good for students and society.30. The result of the 2012 survey _.A. was different from Sam Stones findingsB. showed civics helped students become more active citizensC. led more young people to study civicsD. showed students were as interested as adults in their government31. What did Meg Gruber think of the citizenship test?A. Unimportant. B. Unpleasant.C. Acceptable. D. Fair.DGprovides more than just ideas.

But they had stories. People learned the stories by heart and taught new ones to one another. Sometimes it was hard to remember them all.36The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on something made from papyrus (纸莎草) plants. People in other places learned to use papyrus from the Egyptians.37So parchment (羊皮纸), made from goatskin, later took its place.In ancientChinabooks looked a little different. People there used ink to write on bamboo or silk. And then they invented paper. Made of trees, paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment.38Papermaking later spread to the West, but there was a big problem with these early books. Every single one had to be copied and written by hand.39They carved (雕刻) a page of words into a piece of wood or stone. They could then print the page by spreading ink on the wood or stone and putting it against paper. But it wasnt until a German printer invented movable, metal letters that books became fast and easy to make. The letters could be used to print copy after copy, and the letters put together again and again to print different pages of words.40Once a luxury (奢侈品) only the rich could buy, they soon became a treasure everyone could enjoy.A. But papyrus grew mainly inEgypt.B. It took years to finish making just one book.C. Finally books could be printed by the thousands.D. Things grew a little easier when writing was invented.E. Its surface was smoother and better for writing on too.F. Books in the West didnt change for a long time after that.G. The Chinese were the first to think of a way to speed things up a little.第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The whole school was talking about the coming trip at a winter camp.

A。细节理解题。根据第一段中的a girl was born into slavery可知，Harriet Tubman出生于奴隶家庭，也就意味着她一出生就是奴隶。22. D。细节理解题。根据第四段中的when she was 13 years old和her owner threw a piece of metal at her and it hit her on the head. She was badly hurt可知，Tubman在13岁的时候，头部受到重创。23. B。推理判断题。根据文中对Tubman事迹的描述可知，作为奴隶的她受到非人的折磨，但她却凭借自己顽强的意志成功摆脱奴隶的身份，并且多次帮助其他奴隶获取自由。由此可知，B项准确概括了Tubman的品质特点。24. B。标题归纳题。Harriet Tubman出身奴隶，但她渴望自由，最终逃到美国北方，获取新生。不仅如此，她还帮助无数黑奴奔向自由，成为了一名英雄。故B项作标题贴切。B篇(自然)本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一种罕见的植物斯诺登水兰。25.
