My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart, and after she got married at 18, we lived separate lives in separate 37 , and our connection somehow 38 .‎ Five years later, I went sightseeing with my fiancé(未婚夫) to New York City, a place I had never been. During a day of sightseeing, we were crossing a very 39 street loaded with people. I had 40 at something funny my fiancé said when I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me: “Cheryl!” My legs 41 in the middle of the road and tears welled up 42 in my eyes. I knew without a doubt that it was my 43 Jeanne. I yelled back before even 44 “Jeanne?”‎ It was her. I began 45 people out of my way to get to her. The crowd started to 46 —even by New York standards, we must have seemed 47 . And there we were, standing in the middle of a Manhattan street, 48 each other and smiling. ‎ I later asked 49 she’d known it was me—she never saw me! She said it was my laugh. I wouldn’t say my laugh is all that 50 , but I guess to a family member it’s infectious. It hits your 51 and resonates（共振） in your mind.‎ Since that time, my sister and I have never been 52 .

But seeing a crown-of-thorns starfish on the Great Barrier Reef is anything but a welcome sight. Native to the Queensland waters, crown-of-thorns starfish populations have exploded across the Reef and they are being documented to be destroying the coast, putting large parts of the Reef in danger.‎ But the starfish is just a starfish, and is a symptom of a larger problem. The real trouble is much bigger and far more complex. Millions of tonnes of plastic make coral choke and kill wildlife. Urban development, rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification(酸化), and extreme weather make the coast vulnerable.‎ ‎ Australia’s Great Barrier Reef hosts 400 types of coral. Seven species of marine turtles call the Reef home. According to a study, baby coral in the Reef have declined by 89% due to mass bleachings(漂白). While in 2016 it was claimed that the Great Barrier Reef to be dead, the truth is not as serious. Only fragmented data exists from survey planes and divers and only parts of the reef have been surveyed scientifically.‎ Recently, a number of Australians as well as conservationists across the world are stepping up to the task of documenting the Great Barrier Reef. The “Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef” have set a target of surveying the entire reef system in 2020. All divers there will only have to upload 10 images of their dive site and basic information about its location for researchers to make a comprehensive model of the Reef. ‎ The government too is taking notice of the state of the reef and good news, this year around $500 million has been notified to be spent on protecting the Reef.‎ ‎58. Why is the starfish mentioned in the first paragraph?‎ A. To show it has symbolic meaning on the card.‎ B. To tell us the starfish is welcomed in Australia.‎ C. To inform us that the Great Barrier Reef is in danger.‎ D. To prove it has been documented for research.‎ ‎59. What is main idea of the second and third paragraphs?‎ A. What caused the great harm to the Reef.‎ B. How we could control the harm to the Reef.‎ C. Why the Reef is so important to Australia.‎ D. Why the starfish is just a starfish in Australia.‎ ‎60. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of the Reef?‎ A. Uncaring. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.‎ C Up to one fifth of the Amazon rainforest is releasing more CO2 than it absorbs, Carlos Nobre, a co-author of a new research, suggests, around 20% of the total area has become a net source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.‎ One of the main causes is deforestation. The results of the study, which have not yet been published, have implications for the effort to combat climate change. They suggest that the Amazon rainforest — a vital carbon store, that slows the pace of global warming — may be turning into a carbon source faster than previously thought. While most of the rainforest still retains its ability to absorb large quantities of carbon dioxide — especially in wetter years — one portion of the forest, which is especially heavily deforested, appears to have lost that capacity. In the south-eastern part of the forest, about 20% of the total area, has become a carbon source.‎ A forest can become a source of carbon rather than a store, or sink, when trees die and release carbon into the atmosphere. Areas of deforestation also contribute to the Amazon’s inability to absorb carbon. Nobre, the cooperator, called the observation "very worrying" because "it could be showing the beginnings of a major tipping point". He believes the new findings suggest that in the next 30 years, with more wood missing, more than half of the Amazon could transform from rainforest into savanna. For decades, scientists have warned of an "Amazon tipping-point": the point at which the forest loses its ability to renew itself and begins to release more carbon than it absorbs.‎ ‎"The Amazon used to be, in the 1980s and 90s, a very strong carbon sink, perhaps extracting two billion tones of carbon dioxide a year from the atmosphere," says Prof Nobre, who is also a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo’s Institute for Advanced Studies and Brazil’s leading expert on the Amazon.‎ ‎"Today, that strength is reduced perhaps to 1—1.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year." Opinions on when this tipping point could occur differs among scientists.‎ ‎61. What can we learn from Prof Gatti’s research?‎ ‎ A. The Amazon rainforest has lost its function as a vital carbon store.‎ ‎ B. The Amazon rainforest has become a net source of carbon dioxide.‎ ‎ C. The Amazon rainforest has reached a worrying tipping point.‎ ‎ D. The Amazon rainforest has suffered from bad deforestation.‎ ‎62. Why is the Amazon rainforest seen as “a vital carbon store”?‎ ‎ A. It is no longer serving the earth well enough.‎ ‎ B. It can absorb an amount of carbon dioxide.‎ ‎ C. It is releasing more CO2 rather than absorbing.‎ ‎ D. It is turning into a carbon source faster than thought.‎ ‎63. What does the underlined word “retains” mean in the second paragraph?‎ ‎ A. uses up B. gives up C. keeps up D. picks up ‎64. What is the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. The glorious history of the Amazon rainforest ‎ B. The great function of the Amazon rainforest ‎ 英语试题 第9页（共12页） 英语试题 第10页（共12页）‎ ‎………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○………………‎ ‎………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○………………‎ ‎… 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________‎ ‎ ‎ C. The worrying dilemma of the Amazon rainforest ‎ ‎ D. The gradual disappearance of the Amazon rainforest D Fred Rogers was a curious man, six feet tall and without pretense (虚伪). He liked to pray, to play the piano, to swim, and to write, and he somehow lived in a different world than I did. We became friends for some 20 years, and I made lifelong friends with his wife, Joanne. I remember thinking that it seemed as if Fred had access to another realm (领域) like the way pigeons have some special magnetic compass that helps them find home.‎ Fred died in 2003, somewhat quickly, of stomach cancer. He was 74. “Just don’t make Fred into a saint (圣人),” That has become Joanne’s refrain (叠句). 91 now, still full of energy, she lives alone in the same roomy apartment, in the university section of Pittsburgh, that she and Fred moved into after they raised their two boys. Throughout her 50-year marriage to Fred, she wasn’t the type to hang out on the set or attend production meetings. That was Fred’s thing. He had his career, and she had hers as a concert pianist. For decades she toured the country with her college classmate, Jeannine Morrison, as a piano duo; they didn’t retire the performance until 2008.‎ ‎“If you make him out to be a saint, people might not know how hard he worked,”Joanne said. Disciplined, focused; a perfectionist — an artist. That was the Fred she and the cast and crew knew. “I think people think of Fred as a child-development expert,” David Newell, the actor who played Mr. “Speedy Delivery” McFeely, told me recently. “As a moral example maybe. But as an artist? I don’t think they think of that.” that was the Fred I came to know. Creating, the creative impulse (冲动), and the creative process were our common interests. He wrote or co-wrote all the scripts for the program — all 33 years of it. He wrote the melodies. He wrote the lyrics. He structured a week of programming around a single theme, many of them difficult topics, like war, divorce, or death.‎ I don’t know that he cared whether people saw him as an artist. He seemed more intent (急切的) that people not see him at all. The focus was always on you. Or children. Or the tiny things. It was hard to see Fred.‎ I like you just the way you are. One day, he told me where that core message came from. His grandfather, Fred Brooks McFeely, who like the rest of the Rogers family lived in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, about 40 miles east of Pittsburgh. “He was a character,” he said. “Oh, a lot of me came from him.”‎ His grandfather represented a life of risk and adventure the very things Fred’s boyhood lacked. He was a lonely kid, an only child until he was 11, when his sister came. He was bullied. Here comes Fat Freddie! He was sickly. He had asthma. He was not allowed to play outside by himself. He spent much of his childhood in his bedroom.‎ He had music, and he had puppets to keep himself amused. He didn’t need much. He was expected to fill his father’s shoes, become his business partner at the brick company. “My dad was pretty much Mr. Latrobe,” he told me. “He worked hard to accomplish all that he did, and I’ve always felt that that was way beyond me. And yet I’m so grateful that he didn’t push me to do the kinds of things that he did or to become a miniature (缩小的) version of him. It certainly would have been miniature.”‎ Fred wanted to be like his grandfather. “He taught me all kinds of really neat stuff!” he told me. “I remember one day my grandmother and my mother were telling me to get down, or not to climb, and my grandfather said: ‘Let the kid climb on the wall! He’s got to learn to do things for himself!’ I heard that. I will never forget that. What a support that was. He had a lot of stone walls on his place.” “I think it was when I was leaving one time to go home after our time together,” Fred told me, “that my grandfather said to me: ‘You know, you made this day a really special day. Just by being yourself. There’s only one person in the world like you. And I happen to like you just the way you are.”‎ ‎65. What is the author’s impression of Fred?‎ A. Fred had many lifelong friends.‎ B. Fred lived in a strange world.‎ C. Fred could always find way home.‎ D. Fred was an amazing person.‎ ‎66. Why does Joanne try to persuade people not to make Fred into a saint?‎ A. To show the great success the couple achieved.‎ B. To underline the great pains Fred spared at work.‎ C. To remind people of the contributions she made.‎ D. To keep the weaknesses of Fred’s character hidden.‎ ‎67. Who may think Fred a moral example?‎ A. David Newell. B. The author. C. Common people. D. Joanne.‎ ‎68. What did Fred prefer to do according to the author?‎ A. Write scripts and music on his own.‎ B. Act as the man behind the curtain.‎ C. Focus more on difficult topics.‎ D. Present himself as an artist.‎ ‎69. Which of following might have the greatest influence on Fred’s growth?‎ A. His poor health condition. B. His father’s expectation.‎ C. His unhappy childhood. D. His grandfather’s attitude.‎ ‎70. What is mainly talked about in the passage?‎ A. The making of Fred Rogers.‎ B. The importance of a good wife.‎ C. The influence of a moral example.‎ D. The achievements of Fred and his wife.‎ 第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。‎ Extreme sports are becoming increasingly popular.

At the same time, a decline has been noted, for years on end, in other outside activities that are considered to be more traditional, including basketball. This is most likely linked to several factors, ranging from the increased adrenaline（肾上腺素） all the way to the positive mental and physical health aspects of participating in an extreme sport.‎ Extreme sports can push you to your physical and mental limits. Individuals who regularly perform feats （超群的技艺） such as going bungee jumping actually change the chemical makeup of their mind. When this happens, you become more capable of staying calm and centered in stressful situations. In other words, extreme sports can make the rest of your life easy to manage. Besides, those who participate in extreme sports are able to turn their fears into positive experiences. There probably aren’t too many people in the world who won’t feel fearful the first time they go bungee jumping. But seeing that you manage to do them will help you reduce your fear response.‎ We all do certain movements during the day; however, you’ve probably felt sore after doing something that isn’t on your typical daily schedule. This is because you have asked your muscles to move in an unusual way when you are working out. Although this can cause soreness, it can also be good for your overall physical fitness. When you embrace an extreme sport, you will build up different muscles of your body, and this will be a positive thing for your health.‎ Extreme sports task you with overcoming difficult physical challenges. If you can complete these challenges, your rewards will be much more than merely physical. Studies have found a strong link between extreme sports and a higher level of self-confidence. This makes sense when you consider the fact that accomplishing a task so physically daunting（使人畏缩的）is something that you should feel proud of. The self-confidence increase can have a positive impact on every aspect of your life, which makes extreme sports a good idea for everyone who is physically capable of meeting the great challenges. ‎ However, before you begin any extreme sport, ensure you’re physically and mentally capable of performing the necessary tasks. Once you’re ready to begin, you’ll be able to choose from a long list of adventurous sports that are certain to get your adrenaline flowing.‎ Extreme sports Introduction Every year ___71___ a growing increase in extreme sports and a ___72___ decline in traditional outside activities.‎ Reasons for enjoying ___73___‎ You’ll find inner ___74___ and focus on your task in a stressful situation.‎ You will ___75___ respond to your fears after succeeding in doing extreme sports.‎ You can ___76___ different muscles of your body and change your health for the ___77___.‎ Overcoming physical challenges ___78___ you to gain self-confidence , thus appealing to those who can ___79___on challenges.‎ Suggestion Make sure that you are well ___80___ physically and mentally for an extreme sport.‎ 第五部分: 书面表达(满分25 分) ‎ 请阅读下面短文，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。‎ A gap year is a period of time during which students take a break from studying after they finished school and before they start college or university. Gap years are popular with Americans. A survey by the American Gap Association（AGA）found that the number of students who took a gap year climbed 27 percent from 2017 to 2018.‎ Although well received in the West, the concept of gap year has yet to take off in China. In 2018, Peking University(PKU) hosted an activity to encourage students to go on a “Gap Year”, but only few Chinese students entered for it.‎ Many Chinese educators have realized the importance of gap year and spread the idea by setting up the China Gap Year Foundation on March 19, 2018, which is the first domestic fund specially providing financial support for 18- to 28-year-old students all over Chinese universities to attend domestic and international activities lasting from three months to one year.‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ ‎1、用约 30 个单词概括上述信息的主要内容；‎ ‎2、结合上述信息，简要分析“间隔年”现象在中国学生间鲜见的原因（两点）；‎ ‎3、你是支持还是反对“间隔年”？用 2-3 个理由或论据支撑你的观点。‎ ‎【写作要求】‎ ‎1、写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；‎ ‎2、作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；‎ ‎3、不必写标题。‎ ‎【评分标准】‎ 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当 ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 英语试题 第9页（共12页） 英语试题 第10页（共12页）‎
