21、
After I had checked in, I made my way slowly to the departure gate. As I was waiting to board the plan, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination; Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.
As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement; “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane!
Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems there were also three of other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight to London for a week, the airline had no choice except to pay for our stay.
So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and marvelous food of Jamaica! As for Aunt Rosa, I suppose she just had to live without me!

22、The Himalayan Mountains are home to the highest peak in Mount Everest. Now the first complete study of this remote region shows that its glaciers（冰川）lost billions of tons of ice from 2000 to 2016.
This is the first comprehensive look at what's happened to glaciers in the Himalaya over a 40-year time, said lead author Joshua Masurer.
“Our study shows a strong signal of glacier ice loss linked to rising temperatures from climate change,” Maurer says. As much as quarter of the regions ice has been lost, he said, “Temperatures in the region have risen one degree, and one degree was indeed enough to produce such a great loss of glacier ice.”
The signal showing Himalayan ice loss linked to rising temperatures would not be so clear if it weren't for the U.S satellites that photographed the region. Declassified（解密的）photos from those satellites were turned into 3-D models to show what the glaciers' elevations（海拔高度）and sizes were in the 1970s, Maurer said. Those were then compared to more recent complex NASA satellite photos that show changing elevations of the ice over time.
The ice and snow in the region are the source for Asia's great rivers. The study did not include the huge neighbouring ranges of high mountains, but other studies suggest that similar melting is under way there as well.
This melting means flooding and the creation of many glacial lakes. In May 2012, one such flood killed over 60 people in villages near Pokhara, Nepal; it also destroyed houses. Some 800 million people depend in part on rivers from Himalayan glaciers for irrigation, making electricity, and drinking water. The more rapid melting appears to increase the river water during warm seasons, but scientists say that will decrease within decades as the glaciers lose mass.
【1】Why did the glaciers in the Himalayan Mountains lose much ice?
A．The climate change increased the temperature.
B．Many people used the ice to make electricity.
C．Many trees and much grass were destroyed.
D．The flooding and many glacial lakes took much ice away.
【2】How did the scientists get the conclusion?
A．By making an interview with local people.
B．By studying the finding of other scientists.
C．By comparing the data collected by U.S. satellites.
D．By collecting information from the papers.
【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A．The melting of ice is nothing serious.
B．Many Asian regions face the problem of ice loss.
C．Only the glaciers in Himalayan Mountains lose ice.
D．Many great rivers run to the Himalayan Mountains.
【4】What is the purpose of giving the example in the last paragraph?
A．To show the risky results of the ice loss.
B．To show the risk of living near mountains.
C．To ask people to take action to use glaciers.
D．To predict the future of the Himalayan Mountains.
23、The threat of climate change and warming oceans is growing bigger for the world’s coral reefs, which are struggling to adapt to increasingly bad waters. Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have showed a new way we may be able to limit the damage — taking coral species that have already survived severe heat stress and transplanting them to degraded reefs to sow the seeds (播种).
We are seeing a lot of focus from environmental scientists on how corals can be made more resistant to heat stress. Some creative solutions include planting them with helpful bacteria, developing tougher species through a new technique and feeding them medicine to increase their chances of survival.
All of these are part of the effort to prevent the changes brought upon corals by abnormal sea temperatures, which causes algae (藻类) living in them to become stressed and break free. This leaves the coral without a key source of food and causes them to turn white (coral bleaching), and in a lot of cases, die off, as seen in the bleaching events to trouble Australia's Great Barrier Reef in recent years.
An eco-friendly solution being explored by the University of Pennsylvania team focuses on corals that have already proved themselves in the face of severe bleaching events. The scientists searched for Hawaii's coral reefs, which survived severe bleaching in 2015, with. The intention of studying how they respond to being placed in an entirely different environment. “The cool thing was that we didn’t see any differences in their bleaching response after this transplant, and they were still in good condition,” says Katie Barott, who led the research team.
While the findings promise well, these techniques to address the broader problem isn’t a practical solution. “Techniques like this can buy us a little time, but there isn’t a substitute for limiting carbon emissions,” says Barott. “We need global action on climate change because even bleaching-resistant corals aren’t going to survive forever if ocean warming keeps increasing as fast as it is today.”
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The need to plant corals.
B．The work to develop new corals.
C．The need to save weak corals.
D．The work to help corals to survive heat stress
【2】What can we know about corals with heat stress?
A．They may die of hunger.
B．They are harmful to fishes.
C．They change color to green.
D．They hide themselves deep in the sea.
【3】How did the transplanted corals grow in the new environments?
A．Slowly.
B．Normally.
C．Rapidly.
D．Hard.
【4】In which section of a magazine can we probably read the text?
A．Culture.
B．Health.
C．Environment.
D．Tourism.
24、Swimming and English Learning
Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important when there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.
【1】We should learn English by _______.
A. listening and speaking B. reading and writing
C. A and B D. swimming
【2】What will you do with mistakes when you speak?
A. Don’t make mistakes. B. Study hard
C. Try not to speak English D. Don’t be afraid.
【3】What’s more important for senior school students?
A. listening B. speaking
C. reading and writing D. learning
【4】We can listen to English ______, according to the passage.
A. by train B. on the radio
C. every minute D. now and then
25、“Mum, can I invite my classmate Brett over to stay tomorrow night, please? It's Friday, and we don't have any _______. Can I, please?" Mum was sitting at the kitchen table.

"I can help, Mum!" James said. "_______ I can make you and Dad feel better, can Brett come over? Please?’’
“Well...” Mum began.
“Great! Thanks Mum!” James almost shouted. “Just sit there, don’t move.” He rushed over to the kitchen drawer and __________ with what he needed- two spanners(扳手). “Hang on, Mum.” he said. “This won’t take a second.” After some ____________, James was finished. With a smile of ____________ on his face he said, “There! How does that feel?” “Oh, James,” Mum said, “That’s so much better! How did you do it?”
“Easy, ” James said____________.” Dad had tightened your neck bolts(螺栓) too much! I just__________ them slightly! I learned that in robotic science at school.”
"What about you father? Can you ________ him?" asked Mum
"I'll try,” James replied. He________ up Dad's hair at the back of his neck and plugged the electric wire into Dad's head. Then he turned the________ on. Dad opened his eyes and ________up immediately. "He just let his ________ run too low. that's all." James said. "Shall I tell Brett to come over straight after school tomorrow?"
"I guess so," replied Mum. "Your friends will just have to ________ that we are a very unusual family. Thanks, son!”

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion, which offered former students a chance to reconnect with old friends，remember the fine times they had at school and celebrate with people they might not have seen for years. Over 450 people came to the event，and all the people there were full of excitement. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for over fifty years, was wheeled to the park
Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans (嘟嚷声) when Ms. Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers.
Then Ms. Yates started to speak: “I can't tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven't seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven't appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination ”
Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued: “It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives，I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”
"There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride me and I want you to know I love you a11 from the bottom of my heart”, she added.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

Meanwhile，she took out her collections from the bag with trembling hands.
