Except for the cracking(爆烈声) of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin Long Island.‎ With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, fell down onto the lawn.‎ The nine-year-old boy raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room. He found it impossible to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious(昏厥的), and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later, "acted with all the self-control of a trained adult."‎ On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.‎ First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.‎ He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?‎ Grasping firmly a ball of string(线) from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother's room. Tying one end of the string to her hand, he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.‎ Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan, "The string will lead you to mother." Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.‎ ‎25．Why did Glenn run downstairs first?‎ A. He wanted to find out what was happening.‎ B. He was worried about his mother's safety.‎ C. He wanted to save his sister and brother.‎ D. He went to see if his father had come back from work.‎ ‎26．Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?‎ A. Glenn. B. Glenn's father.‎ C. Glenn's sister. D. Glenn's neighbor.‎ ‎27．Glenn saved his family because _______.‎ A. his father had taught him to do so on the phone B. he had learned something about first aid C. he had dealt with the emergency(突发事件) calmly and wisely D. he had followed his mother's instructions C Is reading better than watching TV? I believe it is. Is reading better than ‎ playing video games? I’m not so sure if it is. If learning is important to you, but not necessarily so, and if pleasure is what you want, these activities can be pleasant in their own way. Reading might be better than many activities if you want to educate yourself and improve your chances of succeeding in your work.‎ If you’re serious about creating the habit of reading, what’s important is finding a time you can read every day-often that’s early morning or late at night, or both. For others, it might be during their lunch break. You only need to read for 10 to 20 minutes a day to form the habit. Then, you need to find a place that’s comfortable. Make sure it has good lighting, the temperature is nice and you’re in a good chair. Or you can find some place that you can relax in without failing asleep, although there’s nothing wrong with a sleep.‎ Next, be sure to shut off the TV, Internet, cell phone, radio, or other music .Let reading be a quiet time. Mark an “x” on your calendar every day you read, and try to keep your unbroken “x”es going as long as possible. A habit is much easier to form if it’s something you enjoy, not something you are made to do. So make the time you spend reading a joy. I’ve been a lifelong reader, so the pleasure of a good book is one of my favorite things in the world. I love to lose myself in the world of a book.‎ ‎28．The importance of reading depends on .‎ A. what you’re going to read B. why you want to read C. where you decide to read D. when you begin to read ‎29．If you want to create a habit of reading, the first thing to do is to .‎ A. ask the writer for some advice B. find a comfortable place C. make a proper time plan D. mark an “x” on the new calendar ‎30．While you are reading, you’d better .‎ A. make sure you are alone B. mark a big “x” in your notebook C. find a good chair with good lighting D. be concentrated and quiet ‎31．Reading may become your habit more easily when .‎ A. it is something you enjoy B. you don’t use Internet or cell phones C. your unbroken “x”es last for a long time D. you spend 10 to 20 minutes reading after lunch D Air pollution, such as haze, has become a serious problem around the world. Besides wearing a mask, what else can we do to protect ourselves from the dirty air?‎ Scientists have developed a new inhaler (吸入剂) that can reduce the effect air pollution has on people. It could help millions of people who are suffering from air pollution, the Guardian reports.‎ This inhaler is developed by German company Bitop and contains a molecule (分子) named Ectoine. The molecule creates a layer (涂层) that protects lungs from polluted air. It’s reported that the inhaler will be affordable to most people when it comes to the market.‎ Air pollution kills more than three million people a year worldwide and leads to health problems like lung and heart disease and strokes, according to a 2016 research project in the journal Nature. It is also linked to brain disease, mental illness and diabetes (糖尿病).‎ Andreas Bilstein at Bitop believed that the inhaler could be useful around the world, because air pollution is not just a European problem: “Especially in Asia － China in particular － the demand for such a product is even higher.”‎ Many Chinese cities have been suffering from haze. According to World Health Organization, two of the 10 most polluted cities in the world in 2015 were in China. About 800,000 deaths that are linked to air pollution take place in the country every year.‎ However, such inhalers should never be an excuse for not trying to stop air pollution, said Professor Jean Krutmann at the Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine. “The best thing is that we have clean air and we don’t need any prophylactic (预防性的) treatment,” he said.‎ ‎32．What is the new inhaler?‎ A. It can help protect the environment.‎ B. It can help us reduce the harm of air pollution.‎ C. It can solve the air pollution problem.‎ D. It can make the dirty air clean.‎ ‎33．From the third paragraph, we learn that ________.‎ A. the inhaler comes from a US company B. the inhaler is named Ectoine C. a molecule in the inhaler forms a layer on lungs D. the inhaler’s price will not be too high for most people ‎34．Which of the following is NOT true?‎ A. Air pollution kills millions of people a year worldwide.‎ B. Air pollution can cause mental illness.‎ C. There are no air pollution problems in Europe.‎ D. Air pollution is a serious problem in China.‎ ‎35．Which is Professor Jean Krutmann’s opinion?‎ A. Such inhalers mean much to people.‎ B. We should take action to control air pollution.‎ C. We can depend on inhalers to solve air pollution problems.‎ D. We’d better produce more medicines to treat lung diseases.‎ 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。‎ ‎36 . One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.‎ The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. 37 . Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.‎ Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 38 . All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.‎ ‎39 .You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That will keep you busy for ages.‎ At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!‎ Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 40 . Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.‎ So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!‎ A. That’s easy.‎ B. Enjoy your own club!‎ C. Invite a designer to join you.‎ D .What are you interest in?‎ E. Some vacation is just around the corner.(即将来临)‎ F. Then you need to pick a name for your club.‎ G. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)‎ John graduated from a key university and he was very good at his major.
