I woke up and my mom was screaming my name. Next moment I was running along with my younger sister，mom and dad. Before I ran out of the door，I realized my elder sister hadn’t come out yet. So I screamed her name at the top of my voice. My mom said she had gone to her class. Then the four of us，along with many others were running on the staircase（楼梯）. We lived on the seventh floor，so I thought we would not be able to make it and the building would fall before we managed to reach even the fourth floor. My dad’s head was injured by something falling down. I did try to put my hand over his head. When we reached the sixth floor，the building split(劈开) into two. We had no way to get down. The next thing I remember is silence. There were around 30 people on the staircase and none could react. Five minutes later，someone opened the door of the sixth floor flat. We all went in. We were wondering how we would get down. From the balcony（阳台）of the sixth floor flat，‎ I saw people standing on the ground floor. All eyes were stuck on us. I could see my elder sister crying. Our first hope of surviving came when a worker climbed a rope to where we were. That was the first time we thought maybe we could get down. Half an hour passed and we were still trapped. Finally RSS people arrived with ropes. They got people down one by one. My biggest worry was how my dad would get down. Finally after two and a half hours，we all got down. That day we saw the power of nature. It had taken more than two years to build the flats and it took just one and a half minutes to destroy the structure. 24.How many people are there in the family?‎ A. 3 B. 5 C. 4 D.6‎ ‎25．What were the writer and his family doing when the building split into two?‎ A.

The power of nature is really great D. Human beings are strong in natural disasters C From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, you can feel sweat running down your body, even if you're barely moving at all. That's what most people in China felt like this summer. In fact, the entire northern hemisphere(半球 )saw high temperatures in July.‎ The Arctic Circle was no exception(例外). Temperatures in the city of Norilsk, which is in the Arctic Circle, reached a record high of 32 ℃, the Atlantic reported. Temperatures there are usually just 10 ℃at this time of the year.‎ The heat wave in the Arctic is mainly a long-term result of global warming, according to the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. In fact, while the whole world is getting warmer, the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. This is called the polar amplification effect（极地放大效应）.‎ The most direct impact of Arctic warming is the melting of Arctic ice. According to NASA, Arctic sea ice is now disappearing at a rate of 13.2 percent every 10 years. NASA said that if this continues, the Arctic will have no ice by the year 2040.‎ This has put some Arctic animals, like polar bears, in danger. The ice that the bears live on has shrunk(缩小), the Toronto Star reported.‎ Melting ice can also cause sea levels to rise in the long term. Since 1993, sea levels have risen at a rate of 3.2 cm every 10 years, the Guardian reported. Some countries, such as Tuvalu（图瓦鲁） in the South Pacific Ocean and Maldives（马尔代夫） in the Indian Ocean, are at ‎ risk of disappearing into the sea.‎ ‎28. Which of the following is true?‎ A. Some countries in the ocean will disappear in 10 years.‎ B. China is the hottest in the northern hemisphere this summer.‎ C. The world gets warmer because of the heat wave in the Arctic.‎ D. The temperatures in Norilsk used to be lower than this summer.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word "this" in the third paragraph refer to?‎ A. The heat wave in the Arctic. ‎ B. The Arctic getting warm faster.‎ C. Getting warmer in the world. ‎ D. The result of global warming.‎ ‎30. What may be the result of the melting of Arctic ice?‎ A. Sea levels rise in the long term.‎ B. The polar will become dangerous. ‎ C. There will be an end of water shortage. ‎ D. There will be no ice in the world by 2040.‎ ‎31. What is the main idea of this passage?‎ A. Arctic animals are in danger.‎ B. Heat hits Arctic. ‎ C. The world became hotter than before. ‎ D. Some countries may disappear into the sea.‎ D Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants. Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like strings when they are cooked. Its almost leafless, thread-like stems (茎) hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by drinking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.  ‎ Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato smell---if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.  ‎ However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and disappear---even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.  ‎ Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.  ‎ ‎32. Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?  ‎ A. To describe the shape of dodder plants.  ‎ B. To introduce the taste of some food.   C. To explain where the dodder plants come from.   ‎ D. To argue that dodder plants can be used.  ‎ ‎33. What will happen if a dodder plant starts growing where there are no other plants around?   A. It will cover the entire area of soil. B. It will grow deep roots.   C. It will attract other plants.   D. It will die sooner or later. 34. What can be inferred from the passage?   A. Dodder does not produce its own food.   B. Dodder can only survive in the shade. ‎ C. Dodder can affect farmers’ income.   ‎ D. Dodder only grows in the warm areas.   35. What is the main topic of the passage?  ‎ A. Plants that are harmful to humans.   B. The special abilities of a dangerous plant.   ‎ C. Recent improvements in farming methods.‎ D. A new variety of farm crops.   ‎ 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Cats in ancient Egypt Many of us love cats. They are beautiful, soft, clever and loving. The ancient Egyptians (埃及人) considered cats, also known as Mau, to be very important. They honored them with great respect. 36 For one thing, cats helped people by keeping their homes free of mice, rats, and snakes. ‎ Without cats Egypt could not have been the important grain-growing(谷物种植) center that it was. 37 Though I don’t know what other pets the Egyptians had, cats were probably the most important. Cats were also trained to help hunters. 38 ‎ The Egyptians loved cats so much that Bast, an Egyptian goddess, was pictured in the form of a cat. Bast appeared in artwork. She was the protector of the house. This idea made a special connection between cats and children. 39 ‎ The safety of all cats was of great concern to ancient Egyptians. 40 Foreigners sometimes took cats out of Egypt secretly and took them to other lands. They traded them for treasures in these lands. Egyptian soldiers were sent to pick up cats found in other countries and bring them back home to Egypt. ‎ A. They were able to help pick up the wounded birds.‎ B. There were good reasons for that.‎ C. Two types of cats appeared in ancient Egypt.‎ D. In grain fields, cats helped catch rats and mice.‎ E. That’s why most Egyptian families had cats for good luck. ‎ F. Anyone who killed a cat on purpose would be put to death.‎ G. There were even laws against getting a cat out of Egypt.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D ‎）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ One summer evening I was sitting by the open window, reading a good science storybook.

I came to the conclusion that my 56 made fun of me, probably because of the strange creatures on another 57 which I read about in the story. ‎ I had to go back into the house and put the stick and flashlight away.
