26、After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.
One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.
The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.
【1】The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that _________.
A．a terrible traffic accident happened to him

【2】What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?
A．Taking a walk with a stick.
B．Sheltering from the rain under a tree.
C．Driving a car.
D．Lying on the ground.
【3】We can infer from the text that ________.
A．Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock
B．many doctors came because Robert was badly injured
C．there was no exact explanation for Robert’s recovery

【4】What’s the best title of the whole passage?
A．A Terrible Electrical Accident
B．Robert Edwards and His Wife
C．What a Sudden Shock
D．An Unforgettable Experience
27、China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled around the country. Everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them are black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing, I've found the opposite (对立面) is true. There are millions of cars.
However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors — silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on pavements. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.
Wanting to be part of this way of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. After my great buy, I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be
safe, I stayed with a "pack" of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air was hitting my face and going through my hair. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
【1】According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A. Because they are traditional and safe.
B. Because they are convenient (方便的) and cheap.
C. Because they are colorful and beautiful.
D. Because they are fast and environmentally friendly.
【2】The author decided to buy a bicycle because he meant _________.
A. to ride it for fun
B. to use it for transport
C. to experience local culture
D. to improve his riding skills
【3】How did the author feel about his street cross-ing?
A. It was boring. B. It was difficult.
C. It was lively. D. It was wonderful.
【4】Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?
A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B. The author was angry at the air while riding.
C. The author was praised by other bikers.
D. The author took great pleasure in biking.
28、It’s commonly thought that boys perform better than girls in math and science. Researchers have challenged that stereotype (刻板印象) for a long time, and a recent study, published in the journal Nature Communications in September, found a new way to attack it.
The study found that women are better than men at sustaining (维持) their performance on longer tests, including math and science.
Researchers Pau Balart, from the University of the Balearic Islands in Spain, and Matthijs Oosterveen from Erasmus University in the Netherlands, analyzed (分析) data collected every three years from 2006 to 2015. The data came from 74 countries and regions, for the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This is a standardized test of 15-year-old students’ performance in reading, math and science.
Their earlier results agreed with earlier findings that boys do better than girls in math and science. But when they compared the two groups’ scores at different stages of the test, girls tended to perform more stably (稳定地) in math and science, while boys started getting fewer correct answers.
Although boys seemed to show advantages from the start in math and science, the authors wrote, “This finding suggests that longer tests shrink it in math and science,” according to Nature. To prove this, the researchers analyzed another database with over 400 math tests, which lasted longer than PISA’s two hours. They found that, at least for math, the scoring gap between boys and girls decreased.
This isn’t the observation of better test endurance (忍耐力) in women. Oxford University used to add an extra 15 minutes to its math and computer science exams. They found female students’ scores improved.
Olga Shurchkov, an associate professor at Wellesley College in the US, told Newsweek: “This study is important because it provides cross-country evidence that suggests these gender (性别) gaps can be reduced.”
In her earlier study, she found that, given more time, women tended to be more careful and make fewer mistakes. They also were less likely to quit a task early. This also supports the finding of the present study.
【1】What did the new study find?
A．Boys are better than girls at math and science.
B．Girls usually do better than boys in shorter tests.
C．Girls prefer longer math and science tests than boys.
D．The length of a test affects girls and boys’ scores.
【2】What does the underlined word “shrink” probably mean?
A．Make something smaller.
B．Make something larger.
C．Keep something the same.
D．Make something appear.
【3】As to the findings about female students on tests, which of the following is true?
A．They were more likely to give up on longer tests.
B．They were not as quick at thinking as male students.
C．They tended to perform better at the beginning of a test.
D．They tended to be more patient and careful on longer tests.
【4】According to the text, what is the importance of the study?
A．It answered questions raised by earlier studies.
B．It could help to reduce gender gaps on tests.
C．It could attract girls to study math and science.
D．It is the first cross-country study of gender gaps on tests.
29、There have been many earthquakes around the world in recent years, so it is necessary to know some safety tips for earthquakes.
To begin with, remember the Drop, Cover and Hold method (DCH) from the American Red Cross. Drop down to the floor. Take cover under a piece of furniture (家具) and protect your head and neck with your arms. Hold on to the furniture until the ground stops shaking.
Besides, you should learn some tips about how to keep yourself safe in different places when an earthquake happens. If you happen to be having a class at school, standing beside a wall will protect you from falling things. Don’t stand near windows or under lights. When you are in a public area, like in a bookstore, get down beside the stands or go to the corner. Protect your head with your arms or bag. Stay away from big advertising (广告) boards. If you’re in the kitchen at home, move away from the fridge and lights.
What’s more, knowing about the magnitude of an earthquake is also necessary for you to take proper action when an earthquake strikes. The magnitude is from 1 to 10 and the higher the number, the bigger the earthquake. Usually, people can feel an earthquake of magnitude 3 to 4. When an earthquake reaches 5, farm animals feel nervous and the surface of walls cracks. When it reaches 6, houses may fall down and people are likely to get injured.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
It was 【1】that students did not write details of how they arrived at their answers or conclusions. I decided to help students write in more detail about what they were thinking when they solved their problems or when they wrote about their ideas.
I chose a common, everyday task that all of us 【2】 in: choosing what to wear. When I asked them how they decided what they wore that day, there was a(n) 【3】 moment of silence. It seemed a 【4】 silly question. A few just said “they wore what they wore.” This was a perfect beginning as it was the same kind of response they were giving as to how they were getting their math answers. I told them how I decided what I wore that day.
First I checked the weather in the paper and by looking outside. I had to decide between wearing a dress or skirt since either one could make a difference in the 【5】 I wish to give. Most of the girls related to this one. I had to be sure what I wanted to wear was clean and ironed. They 【6】 no one ironed clothes any more. I had to check to see if I had shoes that went with the possible outfit. I thought about what I had worn 【7】 as I usually don’t wear the same clothes in the same week. I thought about the color I felt like wearing. I thought about the 【8】 I would be doing that day both at school and after school.
Each new consideration brought out comments from the students. I could expand on each or just mention it and go on, 【9】 on how long I wanted the lesson to go. After this discussion, it was clear to students that their thinking process is richer than they first suspected. It was a good lesson for showing details of the thinking process of which we weren’t 【10】.
