I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful. I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety. I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring. A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so. 1.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1? A. Efforts made in vain. B. Getting injured in his work. C. Feeling uncertain about his future. D. Creatures forced out of their homes. 2.Why was the author called to Muttontown? A. To rescue a woman. B. To take care of a woman. C. To look at a baby owl. D. To cure a young owl. 3.What made the chick calm down? A. A new nest. B. Some food. C. A recording. D. Its parents. 4.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event? A. It’s unexpected. B. It’s beautiful. C. It’s humorous. D. It’s discouraging.
When we were very small, we realized that having friends was important.Some of us even had imaginary(想象中的)friends. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens.Friends played a big part in forming our personalities(性格). As adults，it is still important for us to have friends. True friends are people who like us though we made mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we’re foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people we aren’t afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds. Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm. Friends offer acceptance and emotional(情感的)support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on. Friends also help us reduce stress. Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily. 1.What is the best title for the passage? A.How to Reduce Stress B.How to Make New Friends C.The Importance of Friends D.The Qualities of Good Friends 2.The underlined word“stimulate” in Paragraph 2 probably means________. A.educate B.encourage C.surprise D.dislike 3.We can learn from the third paragraph that friends always________. A.laugh at us when we’re foolish B.tell us other people’s secrets C.share our sadness and interests D.support us when we need help 4.We can learn from the passage that________. A.people should make friends anytime B.friends are people who allow you to cry C.a friend helps you in many ways D.good friends are always difficult to meet

So, do you want to look and feel your best? Here are some ways: ● Accept your body Nobody is perfect. Everybody wants to be liked and accepted just as they are. Don’t body-shame yourself. When you say something negative about your own body, it hurts your self-esteem. 2. It hurts just as much as if someone else said it.

Tell yourself what you like and why. 3. Accept those things and let yourself feel good. ● Take care of your body Eat healthy foods. Learn what foods are good for you, and how much is the right amount. Eating right helps you look your best. When you treat your body right, you feel good about yourself. 4. Your body needs to move to be strong, fit and healthy. You can be active by playing a sport. You can run, walk, swim or dance. Pick activities you like and have fun. Keep to a healthy weight.

Many people feel unsatisfied with some part of their looks. D. It is true whether you say it out loud or think it to yourself. E. Your doctor may suggest ways you can stay at a weight proper for you.

Tobacco has long been recognized as a huge health threat. It is known to cause lung and heart problems to many long-term users. According to the World Health Organization, 3,000,000 people die early each year because of tobacco use, including 890,000 deaths from second-hand smoke exposure. E-cigarettes, an alternative (替代品) to smoking, have become popular. Also known as vaporizers (汽化器), they are electric devices that heat liquid nicotine into a vapor that can he taken in. This vapor is less harmful to inhale than smoke. For example, it does not produce tar (焦油), which can build up in a smoker’s lungs. Inhaling vapor - called vaping - is not without its own risks, however. Exposure to nicotine during youth can lead to addiction and cause long-term harm to brain development. The vapor may also contain harmful things. The Center for Disease Control has linked vaping to more than 805 cases of lung disease and 12 deaths so far in the US. Vaping has greatly increased in popularity in the US, especially among teenagers. About 37 % of US high school seniors were reported vaping in 2018, up from 28% the year before, Harvard Health Publishing reported. Michael Blaha, a researcher at the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, listed 3 reasons that contributed to vaping’s popularity among young people. First, many teens eve that vaping is less harmful than smoking. Second, ecigarettes have a lower per-use cost than traditional cigrattes. Finally, e-cigarettes come in a wide range of sweet flavors, like apple pie and watermelon. Blaha is most concerned that more teenagers are taking up vaping as a habit. “It’s one thing if you change from cigarette smoking to vaping. It’s quite another thing to start up nicotine use with vaping. And, it often leads to using traditional tobacco products down the road,” he said. Governments around the world the divided about vaping. 39 countries and regions have banned the sale of e-cigarettes, according to the Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction 2018. Last September, US President Donald Trump said the use of e-cigarettes might be negatively affecting young people and that it should be kept off the market until proved harmless. 1.The underlined word “inhale” in Paragraph 2 probably means “__________”. A.blow away B.spread out C.give off D.breathe in 2.In what way are e-cigarettes different from traditional tobacco products? A.E-cigarettes do not produce tar. B.E-cigarettes are not bad to smokers’ health. C.E-cigarettes are less likely to cause nicotine addiction. D.E-cigarettes do more harm to smokers’ brains than their lungs. 3.Why is vaping popular with young people according to Blaha? A.Vaping is allowed at school. B.Vaping makes them look cool. C.They like the liquid taken from fruits. D.They think it’s safer and cheaper than smoking. 4.What can we learn from Blaha’s words in Paragraph 4? A.Those who smoke e-cigarettes tend to smoke tobacco later. B.Vaping is more likely to attract teenagers than older people. C.It usually takes a long time for smokers to enjoy e-cigarettes. D.E-cigarettes should be encouraged to replace traditional tobacco products.
Last summer, over 12,000 fans packed London’s Wembley Arena. Thousands more watched online, shouting and cheering. Were they watching soccer? No, they were watching e-sports or competitive PC gaming. Millions of people in the UK play PC games for fun. Some of them have become professionals, playing games as their full-time job. The prize at the Wembley event totaled 3 million pounds. It’s not easy being a professional gamer, though. They practice for 10 or more hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week. They do exercises like typing something and then trying to type it faster and faster. They also study videos of other players and plan ways to beat them. Many people who play games also enjoy watching them.

It’s easy to say, “No Way!” After all , professional gamers don’t need to run, jump or throw a hall. At the moment, the UK government classifies e-sports as a kind of game, not as a sport. But many people think that e-sports are sport. They say that players do need physical skills, especially hand-eye coordination (协调), quick action , accuracy and timing. In fact, the governments of China and South Korea do classify e-sports as sports, and professional gamers will soon be able to compete for medals at the 2022 Asian Games. For many e-sports fans and players, though, the most important thing is that e-sports are growing in popularity and reputation. E-sports are not important at the moment. If e-sports are not probably be soon. 1.What do the British people think of e-sports? A.They have a great passion for e-sports. B.They are not willing to be professionals.

B.The popularity of e-sports in the UK. C.How e-sports are different from traditional sports. D.How to start a career as a professional e-sports gamer. 3.What do many people believe e-sports are sports? A.They inspire people as much as other sports. B.They share rules and strategies with other sports. C.It takes players time and money to learn and practice. D.Players need to develop physical skills to perform well. 4.What is the author’s attitude toward the future of e-sports? A.Doubtful. B.Negative. C.Optimistic. D.Indifferent.
My son Leon’s passion (热爱) for surfing began at the age of 13. Before and after school each day, he put on his wet suit, picked up his equipment, swam out beyond the surf line and waited to be challenged by his friends. One aftenoon, the lifeguard reported over the phone to my husband Wilson that Leon’s eye was badly injured by his board. Wilson rushed him to the emergency room, where he received 26 stitches (缝线) from the comer of his eye to the bridge of his nose. I was on an airplane flying home from a meeting while Leons’ eye was being stitched. Wilson drove directly to the airport after they left the doctor’s office. He greeted me at the gate and told me Leon was waiting in the car. “Leon?” I questioned. I remember thinking the waves must have been bad that day. “He’s been in an accident, but he’s going to be fine,” said my husband. A traveling working mother’s worst nightmare (恶梦) had come true. I ran to the car so fast the heel of my shoe broke off. I swung open the door, to see that my youngest son had a patch (眼罩) over his eye and was leaning toward me crying, “Oh, Ma, I’m so glad you’re home.” I cried in his arms, telling him how awful I felt about not being there when the lifeguard called. “Its OK, Mom,” he comforted me. “You don’t know how to surf anyway.” “What?” I asked, confused by his logic. “I’ll be fine. The doctor says I can go back in the water in 8 days,” said my son. I wanted to tell him he wasn’t allowed to go near water again until he was 35, but instead I bit my tongue and hoped he would forget about surfing. For the next 7 days he kept pressing me to let him surf again. One day after I had repeated “No” to him for the 100th time, he beat me at my own game. “Mom, you taught us never to give up what we love,” he said. And I gave in. Back then Leon was just a boy with a passion for surfing. Now he is a man with a responsibility. He ranks among the top 25 professional surfers in the world. Passionate people stick to what they love and never give up. 1.How did the author feel when she knew Leon was at the airport? A.Delighted. B.Angry. C.Excited.

The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you, it’s a crow!” After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this?” At this time some expression of irritation（恼怒）was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a rebuff（生硬回绝）. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?” This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?” A little while later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered（发皱的）diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question.

语篇语法填空 As an old saying goes, “Friends are like wine, the older, the better.” Because of that, nowadays many people think old friends to be 1. (important) than new ones. For example, if two pieces of advice 2.(give) to solve a problem, one from a new friend and the other from an old friend, people always tend to choose the latter one, although the new friend’s advice may be better. I, however, 3.(agree) with the old saying, believing that new friends are not 4.(necessary) worse than old friends. Why? Because the 5.(long) of time cannot tell whether your friendship is better or not. Once you call someone friend, he must be a person 6.is reliable and whose interests are in common with 7.(you). Maybe a friend’s outside look 8.(change) all the time, but the inside characters of him and his interests won’t change at all. It is just these unchangeable characters and interests 9.make him a friend to you. 10., on this point, there is no difference between old friends and new ones.

I’m always surprised when I hear how little time kids spend outside. One study found that kids spend almost seven hours a day using electronic media. A public school in Quechee, Vermont is taking it seriously and fighting against indoor-centric (中心的) childhoods. Eliza Minnucci’s kindergarten class there engages (参与) in Forest Mondays, during which the students spend the whole day in the woods. It’s modeled after the Forest Kindergarten in Switzerland, which is all outside all the time. The idea that’s shared across the school is to let kids learn lessons from the natural world. So what have the results been? Mostly good. I taught kids aged 4 through middle school. While I had some basic ideas to teach, it was mostly kids’ natural interest that drove much of what we did. They wanted to know the names of birds and plants (biology). We created something with wood and stones (physics and teamwork). We even made up stories about ants and butterflies (language, organizing information and creativity). For the older kids, we had much clearer lesson plans, but we were still outside the whole time, and we would often suddenly start talking about a completely new subject if something interesting was happening. So the learning experience was always fresh. On top of learning and moving around freely instead of sitting at desks, the kids were having fun while they learned, which made them excited for the next lesson. Shouldn’t that be the goal of all education? Perhaps Vermont’s kindergarten program is an example of breaking away from the test-centric educational method. While some parents are taking their kids out hiking on the weekend or stopping their use of electronic media, teachers are bringing some of that same thinking to their classrooms. Considering all the good evidence that being outside is great for mind and body ---as well as test scores---it seems like this kind of education is a natural next step for teachers. 1.What can we learn about the public school in Quechee? A.It lies in the woods. B.It is the first of its kind. C.It teaches more than other schools. D.It values outdoor activities very much. 2.What does the author mainly try to show through Paragraph 5? A.Teaching outdoors brings her some thinking. B.Learning outdoors can make kids learn more. C.Playing outdoors brings kids many advantages. D.Teaching outdoors proves to be more difficult. 3.What should be the goal of education according to the author? A.To develop students’ life skills. B.To encourage kids’ great creativity. C.To make kids have fun while learning. D.To teach students to think independently. 4.Why does the author write the text? A.To encourage outdoor education. B.To suggest spending more time in nature. C.To give kids tips on spending time outside. D.To ask kids to take part in after-class activities.
