Here she picks her top reads.‎ Matilda Roald Dahl I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress,Miss Trunchbull,are equally funny and frightening,but they’re also aspirational.‎ After Dark Haruki Murakami It’s about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping,and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets.‎ Gone Girl Gillian Fynn There was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It’s a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is ‎ horribly enjoyable.‎ The Stand Stephen King This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.‎ ‎1．Who does “I” refer to in the text?‎ A．Stephen King. B．Jo Usmar.‎ C．Gillian Flynn. D．Roald Dahl.‎ ‎2．Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?‎ A．Cosmopolitan. B．Matilda.‎ C．The Stand. D．After Dark.‎ ‎3．What kind of book is Gone Girl?‎ A．A folk tale. B．A biography.‎ C．A horror story. D．A love story.‎ B During an earthquake, you should need to know a thing or two on what to do. If the earthquake strikes while you’re inside a house, you should lie on the floor and take cover under a strong table or other furniture. If there is no furniture you can cover your head with your arms and keep still in the corner of the room. You should remain away from windows, glass walls, or anything that can fall.‎ If you are in bed, stay still. Hold firmly onto your bed and make use of a pillow (枕头) to safeguard your head. You may use a doorway or shelter but only when it is close to you. It should also be considered whether it is strong enough to deal with the load. Do not use lifts, even when they work. Electricity may go out at any time. Many injuries happen when people try to rush out. This means you ought to stay still in your house or perhaps wherever you are.‎ When you are outdoors, you should be far away from buildings, power wires or lights. You should be in the open until the quake stops. Remember that many earthquake deaths outside the house come from debris (碎片), falling walls, flying glass and other falling objects. If an earthquake strikes and you are driving, you pull up to the side of the highway and stop as quickly as possible. You ought not to stop under trees, buildings or power wires. Don’t stop in the middle of the street since it could trouble others.‎ When trapped, you shouldn’t move. Your mouth should be covered with a piece of clothing or handkerchief. Do not shout whenever possible. Shouting should be employed at last to get help from rescuers. This is because it is possible for you to breathe some dirty dust.‎ ‎4．What are you advised to do if you are in bed?‎ A．We should stay in bed with a pillow protecting our head.‎ B．We should get up quickly and ask for help.‎ C．We should get up quickly and rush out of the bedroom.‎ D．We should get up quickly and find something to protect ourselves.‎ ‎5．Why are you advised not to use a lift?‎ A．The lift usually doesn’t work.‎ B．Too many people are using the lift.‎ C．We will probably be trapped in it.‎ D．The building probably will fall down.‎ ‎6．We can learn from this passage that 　　　.‎ A．when trapped we should shout for help loudly B．some people may be attacked by debris or falling objects C．during an earthquake we should stop our car in the middle of the street D．if an earthquake strikes we should cover our head with a piece of clothing ‎7．The author writes this passage mainly to tell us 　　　.‎ A．a big earthquake may kill a lot of people B．how we survive an earthquake if it strikes C．the safe ways of preventing an earthquake D．what we should prepare for a big earthquake C When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.‎ Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbours react.‎ Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.‎ In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.‎ Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth. Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.‎ ‎8．What does a plant do when it is under attack?‎ A．It makes noises. B．It gets help from other plants.‎ C．It sends out certain chemicals. D．It stands quietly ‎9．What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?‎ A．The insects gather under the table.‎ B．The attackers get attacked.‎ C．The plants get ready to fight back.‎ D．The perfumes attract natural enemies.‎ ‎10．Scientists find from their studies that plants can ________.‎ A．predict natural disasters B．help their neighbors when necessary C．talk to one another intentionally D．protect themselves against insects 第二节(共5题;每小题2分，满分10分)‎ A great number of people can get injured or even killed resulting from a human stampede (踩踏).The bad thing is that a peaceful group of people can quickly become concerned and panicked(恐慌). 11 . If you are in a crowd, the most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and mentally notice the exits. No matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out. 12 . If you are in a crowd of moving people, wet ground can be slippery or dangerous, causing you to fall.‎ Be aware of the general atmosphere of the event, as panic situations can often be expected. When in danger, a few seconds can make all the difference. If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure, do not stand still or sit down. 13 . Take advantage of any space that may open up and try to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker.‎ ‎ 14 .—It gives you movement and protects your chest.‎ If you fall, get up quickly. If you fall and cannot get up, keep moving by crawling in the same direction of the crowd, or if that is not possible, then cover your head with your arms and curl (蜷缩) up. 15 . Sometimes, finding a right posture(姿势) can save your life.‎ A．Keep your hands up by your chest, like a boxer B．Raise your arms to the full length C．Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd D．If you are stepped on, you should shout for help E. Make yourself know the type of ground you are standing on F. What’s worse is that the stampede can be caused while there seems no actual danger G. Do not lie on your stomach or back, as this dangerously leaves your lungs unprotected 二、完形填空(共10小题; 每小题1分，满分20分)‎ Choose what you want to do, and don’t stop until getting there.

They think that cultural relics are a symbol of great ancient civilization. Most cultural relics are related to great people, so protecting them shows sincere respect for them. Cultural relics are of great value and protecting it can make us feel proud of our nation.‎ However, the rest hold the opposite opinion, thinking it doesn’t matter whether cultural relics are well protected or not. They think it won’t promote the development of society, so it is a waste of time and money to protect them. ‎ As far as I’m concerned, our country has made encouraging progress in protecting cultural relics, but many problems still exist and need to be solved. Therefore, we should keep our mind clear and take more effective measures to better protect cultural relics.‎ All above is our discussion and my own opinion about the topic. Really looking forward to your instruction and suggestion. ‎ Yours ‎ ‎ Li Hua
