Grammar and VocabularySection A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Ten year-old Annemarie Johansen lives with her family in Copenhagen, Denmark. There are soldiers on the streets, and the country (21) _ (occupy) by the Nazis. There isnt enough to eat, and the world is at war. Then the Nazis decide torelocatethe countrys Jewish population. The Danes dont know (22) _ their friends and neighbors are being taken away. They dont know where they are going, either. But they do know that it is wrong and dangerous and that they must help.Number the Stars is a very powerful novel. During World War II, the Nazis (23) _ (kill) millions of people in Europe. Many of those people were Jewish. But in Denmark, almost all of the Jewish population was saved. Number the Stars is a work of fiction, but it tells the true story of the Jewish (24) _ (rescue) during the war. The moving plot is driven by justice, danger and excitement. But the book also deals with significant ideas that are much (25) _ (big) than the story itself.Annemarie must learn that evil doesnt just appear in fairy tales. Its a real thing that affects real people. She must also struggle with questions of loyalty and sacrifice. Who would she die to protect? And is she brave enough (26) _ (make) that sacrifice? Most importantly, Annemarie learns that (27) _ (be) brave doesnt mean being fearless. It means doing the right thing despite the fact (28) _ you are afraid. Thats heavy stuff for a childrens novel. I have taught Number the Stars to many classes at many different levels. It has always been a popular choice. It uses simple language and sentences. It is easy to read and provides clear examples of literary techniques like foreshadowing (预示). But it is also interesting, and the characters are (29) _ (engage) . The plot is full of tension.Lois Lowry, the author, has written many award-winning novels for young people. Number the Stars is a remarkable example of the talent (30) _ has made her so celebrated. Section B Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one more word than you need.A. mon B. voting C. efforts D. elected E. end F. protesting G. say H. exercised I. argued J. equal K. rightsIn most democracies today, people expect women to vote. Women are just as able to make decisions about their 31 leaders as men. But 200 years ago, most people didnt think so.As late as the middle of the 19th century only men voted in most Western countries. A few countries or states let women vote in local elections. But women voting was far from 32 . At that time, people believed that women belonged in the home. That meant they should not get involved with public life.But women in Europe, North America and New Zealand began 33 this situation. They believed that they should have a(n) 34 in their governments leaders. In 1792 an English novelist named Mary Wollstonecraft 35 that women should be able to vote. In the United States, Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were important figures. They met while campaigning to put a(n) 36 to slavery. In the process, they decided that women also should have more 37 .Yet despite the 38 of these women neither Great Britain nor the United States was the first country to let women vote. That honor goes to New Zealand, which changed their law on September 19, 1893. This was because of women like Kate Shepherd. She led a group that presented petitions（请愿书） to their parliament three years in a row. Shepherd is now honored on New Zealands $10 bill.New Zealand was followed by Australia in 1902 and Finland in 1906. By this time, some U.S. states and territories allowed women to vote. But the country as a whole didnt give women the right until after World War I.In many countries, the right to hold political office came along with the right to vote. And women have 39 that right. In many countries, women have even held their countrys highest office. All of that is due to the efforts of the women who fought for a(n) 40 voice. III. Reading prehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The search for new, clean energy sources has occupied the attention of scientists and politicians for years. One mon 41 for green energy is the wind. A new twist on this old resource could cause the energy output of wind-power plants to increase greatly.Standard wind-power plants rely on strong support and 42 can only reach a height of 200 meters or so. Higher than that, winds tend to be stronger and steadier, but the challenge is 43 how to obtain the energy from those winds.Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences in Germany have formed a kite-power research group. The group is working to develop kites with inflatable （可充气的）wings 44 to electrical generators (发电机) on the ground.The research groups goal is to design a kite that can operate on its own for 24 hours. Research has begun, but many challenges remain, including making the generators more 45 and perfecting the automatic flight control and the structure of the kites. Nevertheless in June xx, they demonstrated that their kites could operate 46 at an altitude of up to 700 meters.Meanwhile, in Italy, researchers are working on a(n) 47 power generator that relies on kites when the generator called KiteGen, senses the wind blowing, kites are 48 from the ends of poles with high-resistance cables to control their height and angle. These cables are able to move the kites if the system senses ing objects 49 planes, helicopters or even individual birds. The kites themselves are light, tough and able to reach fairly high altitudes. They loop（绕行）around in the wind, which sets the center of the generator in motion, 50 electric current.KiteGen has the 51 to be very cost-effective in the long run. After the original cost of designing and setting up the plant, little 52 investment will be necessary, apart from standard maintenance. The plant also requires 53 little space, which makes it ideal for cities and means that multiple plants can be set up to provide even more 54 .Kite power has the potential to greatly 55 on current wind-power strategies. In the future, it may be an efficient, cost-effective supplement to the other sources of energy we use, or even a replacement for some of them. 41. A.resolution B.proposal C.resource D.substitute42.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Many people experience problems with their spine (脊椎) as they age. The tissue that protects the joints in the spine gradually breaks down. As a consequence, the bones in the spine begin to rub against each other. This further harms the tissue as well as the bones. The result is pain in the joints and, sometimes, in nerves near the spine.This painful problem is actually a disease called osteoporosis. Some people are more at risk of osteoporosis because of genes that they inherited from their ancestors. Extremely heavy people are also more likely to suffer from this disease because their extra weight puts much pressure on their joints. Fortunately, there are steps that people can take to help prevent osteoporosis from developing in their spine.The most important step is exercise. Stretches can help the muscles around the spine relax and allow bones to shift into better alignment (排列). Strength exercises with light weights or body weight exercises like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles around the spine. However, people should not overdo these exercises, as repeated motions can strain the muscles around the spine. Trying to lift heavy weights with poor technique can have the same effect.Another important factor is diet. It affects the health of the spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves. These include B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which help keep nerves healthy. People can get more B vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids by taking supplements sold by stores. Another important factor is vitamin D, which is essential for strong bones. All of these vitamins and acids can be obtained from foods. Thus, people can help themselves by including them in their daily diets. 56. What does this article mainly explain?A.

How does the writer begin this article?A. By predicting improvementB. By analyzing a series of dataC. By introducing minor injuriesD. By describing a gradual process58. What can readers find in this article?A. A warning about working out too hardB. A method for improving sleep qualityC. A slogan used to promote health classesD. A big criticism often aimed at doctors59. What does the article imply about supplement?A. They are mainly for youngsters.B. They are mercial products.C. They are now being researched.D. They are seldom truly effective. (B) In late March of xx, a tear in the earth about 15 meters wide and 20 meters deep suddenly appeared in Kenya. It cut across roads and even split houses in two. This crack appeared out of nowhere after heavy rains and an increase in seismic (地震的) activity. Some scientists believe that its further proof that Africa is slowly splitting apart.Once, a very long time ago, Africa and South America were one landmass before they separated. Similarly, one day in the very distant future, a large part of East Africa will split off from the rest of the continent. This will create a new landmass and a new ocean. The breakup is a result of plate tectonics (板块运动), the gradual motion of different parts of the Earths crust. When plates of the Earth separate and tear away from each other, it is called rifting. The result is a rift valley. Scientists dont understand the exact mechanism behind rifting, but the results are easy to observe in the East African Rift System( EARS). Thats why studying this part of the world is so important.The East African Rift System begins in the north in Ethiopia, where three plates are moving away from each other. Two of them are continental plates, the African and Arabian plates. They are tectonic plates that have a large landmass above water. The third is the Somali plate, considered a minor plate, which is steadily moving away from the other two. But dont plan on visiting the new ocean anytime soon. The plates are moving at a rate of about 6 millimeters a year. At that speed, millions of years will pass before a new ocean is formed.EARS is not all bad news for Kenya. A rift valley is posed of an area where there is increased volcanic activity and thinned planetary crust. This makes it easier to take advantage of the power of steam. For Kenya, this might be an answer to the countrys electrical problems. The drought conditions that frequently occur there make it difficult to produce energy. But the geothermal (地热的) power plants going online in 2019 will allow them to produce clean energy with very little water. 60. What can be concluded from the passage?A. A war will certainly break out in Africa.B. A disaster will suddenly strike Africa.C. A geological structure will change in Africa.D. A new country will e into being in Africa.61. Which of the following plates might be surrounded by water according to the passage?A. East Africa. B. Somali plate. C. Arabian plate. D. Africa plate.62. What problem may be solved in Kenya thanks to the cracking?A. Poverty.B. Economy.C. Drought.D. Energy.(C)Are you worried about money? If so, I have some good news for you. Someone once said, If all your problems can be solved with money, then you dont have any. I get the point. Unless you are on the edge of losing everything and living in your car (which is a very sad thing that happens to people every day), your perceptions of your problems may not be serving you well.Lets take a look. Can you pay your living expenses and support your family? If so, you are OK. Even if you are a family that just barely breaks even every month, you have to count that as a blessing. Most of us also have those terrible, surprising unexpected bills. But unless you lose your job or your mind, dont you always find a way to take care of those expenses?PERTINENT （切中要害的） QUESTIONSTo see if you worry too much about finances, ask yourself a couple of questions. Do you wake up worried about money? Do you check your bank balance and look at uping bills more than once every few days or even multiple times a day? If so, then you may have a little financial insecurity going on. Lets look at getting it under control. If its making you crazy, it can make your family a little crazy too. This type of anxiousness is passed on to others, which is important to remember whenever you have the urge to share your fears.TOO MUCH INFORMATIONTMI (too much information) happens because it seems that by releasing pent-up（压抑的）feelings of anxiety you will feel better and hopefully more supported. And this can happen, but not with your loved ones because they will take on your fear and magnify it. Talk instead with your financial advisor, your bank manager or your therapist. Laying your financial fears at the feet of your family is not good for them or for you. Yes, be honest about any problems, but if you get emotional, so will those closest to you.POSITIVE ACTIONIts hard to be dispassionate about money, but honestly, its really the best way to get this issue solved. You have to look at it from a practical standpoint. Go over your debts, look closely at your assets and determine the best thing for you to do with your time right now.Maybe you need to use this time to get your books in order on your puter or use it to job hunt or to promote your business. Then again, you may need to hire an accountant and go on some interviews. The point is simple: the only way to relieve yourself of the unfortable feeling of financial pressure is to take some kind of positive action. 63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Financial problems are not vital ones in everyones daily life.B
