It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants (服务生) to look after the passengers. Young men, or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers bags but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930, a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didnt want to work on a farm or marry a farmer. She wanted a more adventurous (冒险的) life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital and at the same time took flying lessons and got her pilots license.Ellen was 25 years old when she first got in touch with BAT (Boeing Air Transport). She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a mans world. Though women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot. But she had another idea. Most people were afraid of flying because flying was still not a very safe way to travel. There were often delays (延误), many crashes and the bad weather made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and BAT agreed.The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was a hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and was paid $1 an hour.In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.（1）From the first paragraph, we know that _. A . the word “stewardesses” was started from Ellen ChurchB . Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a planeC . food and drinks were offered on the plane thenD . traveling by air was very popular because of the flight attendants（2）Boeing Air Transport offered Ellen the job because of _. A . her flying experienceB . her university educationC . her nursing experienceD . her life attitudes (态度)（3）The passage mainly talks about _. A . the background of early flying pilotsB . the experience of flying passengersC . the history of early flight attendantsD . the development of airplanes23. （10分）SUNNY SCHOOLWe are a bilingual (双语) school for children of 6-15.

Probably everyone with a portable device （移动设备）has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it, while they are having a coffee, on a train, in a shopping mall or at a hotel. However, is this kind of public WiFi network safe?Some networks are better protected than others because encryption （加密）methods are used. Therefore, they are safer than others. But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected, including addresses, emails, birth dates, phone numbers, passwords and so on. These open WiFi networks are really not safe, because it is very easy for hackers （黑客） to break into the operating system and get peoples private information.Most smartphones and laptops, by themselves, search and connect to WiFi networks. They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before. Hackers devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks. When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real, hackers can easily steal their private information.So next time, when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks, please think it twice or take safe measures before using them.（1）Why do people like to go log on to a public WiFi network?A . Because it can provide useful information.B . Because the owner of the network is polite.C . Because it is free.D . Because it is safe.（2）We can learn from the passage that .A . not all the public WiFi networks are safeB . none of the public WiFi networks is safeC . in 2015more than 950million records were protectedD . there is no way to protect our private information（3）Hackers would probably get the following EXCEPT when we connect our laptops or smartphones to a public WiFi network.A . our birth datesB . our passwordsC . our phone numbersD . our smartphones（4）Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A . Dont Use Public WiFi NetworksB . Why the Public WiFi Networks a Possible DangerC . We Neednt Protect Our Private InformationD . Why Hackers Break into the Operating System.25. （10分）阅读理解BLast Friday, I agreed to meet some friends at 6：00 pm. in a coffee shop.The weather was sunny, so I decided to walk there.I arrived ten minutes early.I ordered a cup of coffee and sat watching people.There were some boys playing football on the street, and a small boy was running after the ball as it rolled (滚) across the road.Suddenly (突然), there came a car.It was going very fast.When the driver saw the boy in his way, he braked (刹车) hard.But it was too lateThe small boy was lying on the street without moving.To everyones surprise, the car didnt stop.It drove away quickly.People ran to the boy.There was a cut on the boys head and he lost a lot of blood.The coffee shop owner (主人) telephoned the police.Soon an ambulance (救护车)arrived and took the boy to the hospital.At 6：30 pm., the police arrived and started questioning people.About half an hour later, they asked me to go to the police station because I saw everything.I gave them all the information I knew because I really wanted them to catch the driver.I didnt leave the police station until 8：00 pm.

Services such as hospital and transport(交通) are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt(尘土) of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They dont want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.So they move out of the cities. Some dont go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They dont make so much money and there isnt much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and arent always very friendly.As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. “Its wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say.（1）Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China? A . The countryside is much poorer than the city.B . People in the countryside have nothing to eat.C . People in the countryside dont have much work to do there.（2）Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside? A . Because they will find good jobs.B . Because they are tired of living in the city.C . Because they can make more money there.（3）After moving to the countryside, some people in Europe feel unhappy because. A . they cant make much moneyB . there isnt much work for them to do in the countrysideC . A, and B（4）The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows. A . they are happy to move back to the cityB . they miss their friends in the countrysideC . they still want to move to the countryside（5）The best title of this passage may be “_”. A . A Happy Life!B . Living in the City!C . Moving Out or Moving Back?30. （25分）任务型阅读A couple (夫妇) have travelled around the world in 297 dayswithout taking any planes Tom Fewins and Lara Lockwood used 78 buses, 61 trains, 34 cars, 18 boats, six bicycles, and even one elephant.
