【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attracting young Henson. One day, he found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. With the help of the ship's captain and other members of the crew, Henson learned mathematics, navigation, history, geography, and many other subjects. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman.
Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to accompany him. The shop owner knew about his young employee's skills and experience on ocean journeys, so he introduced Peary to Henson.
Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved himself to be a worthy and smart seaman. Peary soon made Henson his assistant（助理）, and they became close friends. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true. Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were worse than either of them had ever imagined.
In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship in the arctic cold had made them suffer a lot. This would be their last chance. With four Inuit（因纽特）guides, they made a mad rush straight across the ice toward the pole. Peary's feet were injured and he had to be pulled on a dogsled. In April 1909, Henson's instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow.
In later years, Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievements. Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes' graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery.
（1）In paragraph1, the author shows how Henson became ________.
A.a wonderful seaman
B.an educated captain
C.a good shop assistant
D.a successful learner
（2）Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.

B.Peary wanted Henson to help him realize his dream
C.Before their final attempt, they made two trips together
D.After they died, they were highly respected by people
（4）The story between Henson and Peary could best be compared to ________.
A.treasure hunters looking for fortunes
B.sailors seeking power over others
C.soldiers fighting for their freedom
D.fighters exploring an unknown land

【答案】
（1）A
（2）B
（3）A
（4）D
【解析】本文讲述了亨森是如何成为了一名优秀水手的，并介绍他在认识罗伯特·皮尔里之后两个人共同奋斗，历尽艰辛去北极探险的故事。

⑴细节理解。根据第一段最后两句．..Henson learned mathematics，navigation，history，geography，and many other subjects...had become an excellent seaman.可知，第一段主要讲述了亨森是如何成为了一名优秀水手的。所以答案是A。

⑵主旨大意。第二段是对下文的铺垫。根据第二段最后一句可知，是老板把他介绍给了罗伯特·皮尔里，即第二段主要讲述了马修·享森是如何认识罗伯特·皮尔里的。所以答案是B

⑶推理判断。根据第三段中He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true.可知，他请求Henson帮助他实现他的梦，排除B；the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. 这两个探险家两次一起去北极旅行，排除C；根据最后一段最后一句Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes' graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery.可知，他们死后，他们受到人们的高度尊敬，排除D。A项与文章意思不对，是错误的，所以答案是A。

⑷推理判断。由文章可知，在他们去北极的过程中，两个人共同奋斗，历尽艰辛，为了目标而努力。故可将两人比作“为了实现一项任务而奋斗的人”，所以答案是D。

After suffering through many months of unemployment (失业). my wife and I moved this week from Colorado to Ohio. where she was starting a new job. Not knowing anybody there. we were pretty concerned about how we'd get our entire home unloaded (卸下) without killing ourselves.

Unloading actually became fun and joy because there were so many wonderful new friends to help when we worked. The more people helped. the easier the work became. We were afraid the job might take days for the two of us alone. but it was finished in a few hours. Many total strangers would either walk by the sidewalk or drive by to ask us if we were moving in. Many were happy that this old house that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again. We were invited to an outdoor meal yesterday by neighbors on the same street.
All the time. my brain was resting on this new sense of hope that people can be so friendly to strangers. Among all the conversation were lots of offers to help each other in all kinds of ways. It's wonderful to live in such a kind little town. I feel so grateful to be here. and wish the rest of the world could see how an entire community can model (做榜样) what it's like to help each other.

While it's wonderful to share a special trip with friends or family, traveling alone is another experience.
1）. Meet new people.
People who are traveling alone seem more approachable to others. Before you know it, you could be chatting with some interesting folks at a sidewalk cafe or even joining a group of like-minded people on the beach.
2）.Do everything you want and nothing you don't want.
Have you ever been hesitant to do that half-day at the spa you are eager for because you feel bad leaving your travel partner with nothing to do? If you want to “waste” the day sitting at an outdoor bar drinking a cocktail instead of sightseeing, you won't have to answer anyone.
3）.
If traveling makes you a good, smart person, then traveling alone makes you better and smarter. Taking a trip by yourself might seem frightening. However, once you take the courage and get over your fears, you'll feel a sense of energy. A successful single vacation can inspire you to try new things in life.
Great service.
For some reason, service at hotels and restaurants seems better when you're traveling alone. And it's possible that when you make it known, you could be offered a better room or a free cocktail.

C.When you travel alone, you don't need to please anyone but yourself.

【题目】A 2 billion year old Martian (火星的)rock appeals to have at our time been full of water from the surface of the Red Planet.

“Here we have a piece of Mars that I can hold in my hands. That’s really exciting,” Carl Agee, director of the Institute of Meteoritics at the University of New Mexico, told the Associated Press.

Agee led a team of scientists who published their report on the newly discovered meteorite （陨石），nicknamed Black Beauty. The rock is estimated to have contained 6,000 parts per million water and scientists believe it likely interacted with water at a time when most of the planet’s surface was believed to have been arid.

The baseball-size rock was discovered in the Sahara, and scientists say it contains more evidence of water than any of the other known Martian rock samples.

“It’s fairly fresh. It hasn’t been subjected to a whole lot of weathering (风化作用），” University of Alberta meteorite expert Chris Herd told the AP.

Billions of years ago an eruption on the surface of Mars, likely caused by a volcano or planet collision, sent the rock into space, where it eventually made the journey to Earth, Agee and his team said the sample is “strikingly similar to the volcanic rocks examined by the NASA rovers Spirit and Opportunity on the Martian surface.”

Over the years, scientists have collected more than 60 Martian rock samples, with most being discovered in the Sahara and Antarctica. The new sample is much older than most of the other specimens, which are about 600 million years old or younger. The oldest known sample is an estimated 4.5 billion years old.

【1】The underlined word “it”in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”.

A. Mara B. the Red Planet

C. Black Beauty D. the report

【2】Where was the meteorite found?

A. In the Sahara. B. In Antarctica.

C. In Mars. D. In America.

【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Black Beauty has the size of a baseball.

B. Blank Beauty contains the most evidence of water among the known Martian rock samples.

C. An eruption on the surface of Mars sent the rock into Earth directly.

D. Black Beauty is not the oldest known sample.

【4】Where can we most probably read this text?

A. In a personal diary. B. In a science report.

C. In a travel magazine. D. In a geography textbook.

Dear Jeremy and Alice,
Although we've been delighted to have you as neighbors, we're hoping to settle something that bothers to us. In a word, your dog --- Cleo.
We've called several time about Cleo's early morning barking. It is difficult to understanding why she barks every minute she's outside. The early morning barking have been disturbing as we are often up all night with the baby. Beside, Cleo tends to bark a average of six hours a day. This morning she starts barking even before 5 o'clock. That is too much for us, considering how closely our houses are.
We appreciate our apologies and goodwill, but we hope that you can figure a good way of settling the matter.
Sincerely
