【题目】 LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash yesterday in Calabasas. California, along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven other people. The helicopter carrying Bryant and the others crashed into a hilly area in foggy conditions, and the cause of the crash is under investigation.

Family members, friends and fans are mourning the death of the basketball great Kobe Bryant. Looking back to his whole life, Bryant was widely considered one of the greatest basketball players of his generation. Even after his retirement, Kobe Bryant is still a winner. The former Los Angeles Lakers star won an Oscar in the animated short category for "Dear Basketball,” a poem he wrote after ending his 20-year career on the court in 2016.

He’ll add it to an already jammed trophy collection that includes five NBA championships with the Lakers, two Olympic gold medals, NBA Finals most valuable player awards, a league MVP award and four All-Star game MVP awards.

Since hanging up his basketball shoes, Bryant has thrown himself into business (a new Nike shoe) and various forms of storytelling.

“As basketball players, we're told to shut up and dribble(运球),” Bryant once said on stage. “I’m glad we did a little bit more than that.”

He thanked his wife, Vanessa, and his three daughters, naming each of them. He spoke a few words of Italian — a language he learned as a child growing up in Italy — and closed by telling them, “You arc my inspiration.'

He was just getting started. And now he's gone.

The tributes(悼念)will continue, though eventually fade away. The legacy will be forever.

1What can we learn from paragraph 1?

A.The cause of the crash is still unknown.

B.The foggy conditions are to blame for the helicopter crash.

C.Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash in Los Angeles.

D.Kobe Bryant was among eight people including one of his daughters killed in the crash.

2What assists Kobe Bryant to win the Oscar according to the passage?

A.his famous reputation in basketball

B.his presence in the animation movie

C.his poem written after his former career

D.his excellent performance in the animated short category

3Which of the following can replace the underlined word “trophy”?

A.GiftB.Award

C.Harvest.D.Possession.

4Where is the passage most probably taken from?

A.A personal diary.B.A biography.

C.A newspaper.D.A textbook.

【题目】 Humans have been battling viruses since before we had even evolved into our modern form, but we’re a long way from winning the fight against them. Here are a few of the worst killers.

Marburg virus

Scientists identified Marburg virus in 1967, when small outbreaks occurred among lab workers in Germany who were exposed to infected monkeys. The infected people develop high fevers and bleeding throughout the body. Marburg can be passed on from human to human via direct contact. The death rate is 80%in the 1998-2000 outbreak in Congo and in the 2005 outbreak in Angola.

S. are now infected and 36%have died. The virus doesn’t spread from human to human.

【题目】 Everyone wants actually the same thing in life and that is to exist and flourish (辉煌) .Living a long and fruitful life is a difficult thing to do when a person can't coexist with other people in harmony.

4 Do not drift off or try to think of what you are going to say in response. You will be surprised how much people appreciate someone who is really listening without judging or arguing.

5 Let them understand that there are certain conversation topics and actions that you do not tolerate. It is up to you to set them and make people know and follow them. However, do not be argumentative about setting them.

Some people just cannot get along no matter what measure you take to make a relationship work. So just stay out of these people's way and let them live their own lives apart from you.

A.Then, how do you live happily with others?

B.Listen to other people when they talk to you.

C.Establish proper boundaries with people in your life.

D.Making boundaries is not selfish, so voice your limits.

【题目】 Every year, groups of tourists travel to central US states like Oklahoma, Texas and Nebraska for their summer vacation. 1 They’re going to chase storms.

Once an activity only for scientists and adventurous types, storm chasing has now become an increasingly popular pastime for people from all over the world. 2 Storm chasers analyze weather reports and maps to locate an incoming storm before driving hundreds of miles toward it to witness a tornado in action.

The people going on these tours vary from curious first-time chasers looking for something different to storm chasing “addicts” like Nicholas Lee, a weather forecaster from the UK. 3 Now he saves up his vacation days to go storm chasing for three weeks every summer in the center of the US. It is the place well known for producing massive storms.

4 Since then the activity has continued to grow in popularity. Considering its potential dangers, it possesses, it is obviously not for everybody. And yet, more and more people are coming out doing the storm-chasing tours.

The real dangers of storm chasing are not just being swept up by a tornado. When a large tornado is predicted for the day, a number of storm chasers will drive to that high-risk area, causing serious traffic jams, which makes it harder to access the perfect spot to witness a tornado. The escape routes will be too congested as well. 5 Take the tornado that touched down near El Reno, Oklahoma in 2013. More than 150 people were injured, and 20 killed in it, including Tim Samaras, an experienced storm chaser plus his son and another partner.

Despite the increasing interest in storm chasing, it is still a very non-mainstream hobby.

A.Sometimes it can be life-threatening.

B.He went on his first storm-chasing tour in 2015.

C.But these people are not looking for sunshine or sightseeing.

D.He cannot wait to see that happening at any time soon.

E.Storm chasing was first popularized by the 1996 film Twister.

F.It means going to“high risk areas”where severe weather occurs.

G.How did potentially deadly weather become a popular tourist attraction?

【题目】阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

Anthony Ant had hundreds of friends, but sometimes he still felt alone. Anthony lived in an anthill in the crack of a sidewalk. All of his friends looked just like Anthony: small, and brown, with six legs and two wiggling antennas (触角). Every day, Anthony and his ant friends lined up to march out of the anthill and across the sidewalk to the tall grass. There they looked for crumbs and seeds to bring back to the anthill for supper.

“Why do we always have to stay in line?”Anthony asked. “I want to go into the grass on my own and see what there is to see.”

“I don’t know,” said Abby, a friend of Anthony. “This is the way we’ve always done it.”

“That doesn’t seem like a very good reason,” Anthony said. “I’m going to turn left up here at the maple root.”

And he did.

None of the other ants came with Anthony, because they always did what they were told.

On his own, Anthony had a much nicer view of the maple root. He could see all the way to a distant flower bed, where colorful blossoms towered over the grassy space.

Anthony decided to walk to the flowers, but after an hour of walking, they seemed just as far away as ever. He had never been so tired. He decided to turn around.

When he did, Anthony couldn’t see the path home. The grass had closed in around himand he was lost. Usually he just followed the ant line in front of him to find the way, but now he was all alone.

Anthony walked in the direction he thought was home, but he was starting to feel scared. A bird flew overhead. Should he ask the bird for help, or should he hide? Anthony knew that some birds ate ants, but he couldn’t remember which ones were nice and which ones were hungry.

注意:续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。

Para 1: He hesitated, wondering what to do.
