A tourist bus wound its way into a mountain area. On the way, two passengers—a couple of young lovers—were very attracted by the beautiful scenery that they called on a stop to get off the bus. They were left behind and the bus went on. Suddenly, they heard a loud boom ahead of the road. There was a huge rock rolled down a hill that hit the bus and fell with it into a deep valley. The lovers were greatly shocked by the news that no passengers on board were survived. When they calmed down they sighed and expressed their feelings in a few words.

The above story was told by a women guide when we were riding a tourist bus to scenic mountain. She asked us to guess that the lovers said immediately after the disaster that they had narrow escaped.

【3】onfor

【4】ThereIt

【5】rolledrolling

【6】把were survived中的were去掉

【7】womenwoman

【8】在scenic mountain前加a

【9】thatwhat

【10】narrownarrowly

【解析】

试题分析:

【1】mountainmountainous 句意:多山的地区。形容词修饰名词,故把mountain改为mountainous。

【2】veryso so...that...如此……以至于……引导结果状语从句,故把very改为so。

【3】onfor 句意:要求下车。call for要求,需要,故把on改为for。

【4】ThereIt 句意:是一块从山上滚落的岩石击中了公共汽车。此句是强调句式,故把There改为It。

【5】rolled-rolling 现在分词作后置定语,表示正在滚动的故把rolled改为rolling。

【6】把were survived中的were去掉 在此句中survive(幸存)是不及物动词,无被动语态,故把were survived中的were去掉。

【7】womenwoman 前面有冠词a,故判断名词应该用单数故把women改为woman。

【8】在scenic mountain前加a 句意:一座风景优美的山。故在scenic mountain前加a。

【9】thatwhat 句意:她要求我们猜那对爱人说什么。此处是what引导的宾语从句,what在从句中作宾语表示什么故把that改为what。

【10】narrownarrowly 副词修饰动词,故把narrow改为narrowly。

【知识拓展】

1.a narrow escape九死一生;a narrow vicotry幸胜;a narrow defeat惜败。

2.不及物动词无被动语态

happen/break out/come about/occur/take place发生;disappear消失;appea出现。The story happened in 2016.这故事发生在2016年。

【题目】Breathe, wave and smile. Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.

It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement (graduation ceremony).

Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown.

Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(美国的爱国誓言).

Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.”

Then came the core (the most important part) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.

To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.

A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.

1What’s the article mainly about?

【题目】March 21 has been declared World Sleep Day, a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep. Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call.

According to a poll (民意调查)by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 4 in 5 Americans don’t get as much sleep as they should during the workweek. On average, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some won’t do well without more. But the survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six.

To many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is, well, a big yawn. On the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal. And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. Also on the plus side: We’re likely to have better skin, better memories, better judgment, and, oh, yes, longer lives.

“When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it influences your performance the next day,” says Dr. Alon Avidan, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.

A study published last year found the same to be true even of children. When kids aged 8 to 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didn’t function as well during the day.

But sleeping has an image problem. “We see napping or sleeping as lazy,” says Jennifer Vriend, a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Canada, and the leading author of the study with children. “We put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition and exercise. Sleep is in the back seat.” In fact, she adds, no matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we can’t be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.

【1】The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means _____.

A.to wake up the sleepers

B.to serve as a morning call

C.to draw people’s attention

D.to declare the special day

【2From Paragraph 3 we can infer that _______.

A.being healthier is one of the advantages for us

B.enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing things

C.sleeping has nothing to do with one’s expectations

D.spending more time on sleeping is a waste of time

【3】What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies that _______.

A.people care little about sleeping

B.sleeping is an image problem

C.lazy people tend to sleep long

D.sleeping is only part of our life

【4What is the purpose of the passage?

A.to talk about people’s sleeping problems.

B.to provide an investigation result of sleeping.

C.to stress the function of sleeping at night.

D.to arouse the awareness of enough sleeping.

【题目】“Hello, Earth! Can you hear me?” That’s voice more than 400,000 people received recently. It was from Philae, a space vehicle that landed on a comet(彗星)in 2014. However, its transmissions (传输信号)back home went silent since then.

It took a 1ong time for Philae to make its way across the solar system (太阳系)and reach comet 67P/C-G. The pace vehicle got there aboard the Rosetta probe (探测器), which has been circling around the comet since Philae separated from it in November, 2014.

Philae’s job was to collect materials to study the comet’s composition. And for about two and a half days after landing, it did just that, sending the information back to scientists on Earth. But Philae’s landing on the comet’s icy surface had not been smooth. While touching down, it jumped up and ended up in the shadow of something like a huge rock. Philae runs on solar power, but there was no light in the place where it landed. In the end, it failed to work.

However,as comet 67P/C-G moved closer to the sun, more sunlight reached the space vehicle, allowing it to power up and come back online. Philae then sent something to Rosetta, which passed on the information back to Earth.

“We only received the information for about 85 seconds, but that’s enough to let us know it is alive and well,”says Stephan Ulamec, who works for the European Space Agency.“We hope to work out where it landed exactly on the 4-kilometer-wide comet. Now we plan to change how Rosetta moves so that Philae can keep on communicating and receiving instructions.”

1Hearing Philae’s voice,those people must have felt_______________.

A. afraid B. calm

C. excited D. worried.

2According to the text, Philae_______________.

A. was damaged when it landed

B. moved around comet 67P/C-G

C. needs light and gas to keep working

D. helps scientists learn about a comet

3What Stephan says in the text suggests that ____________.

A. Rosetta will move around another comet

B. Philae will continue to work for scientists

C. most comets are as wide as four kilometers

D. he wonders whether Philae is still alive

4What does the author mainly talk about in the text?

A. A sleeping space vehicle wakes up.

B. It is very dangerous to travel in space.

C. A new comet was discovered recently.

D. Philae was sent into space successfully.

【题目】The ride-sharing company Uber has removed its self-driving cars from the streets of San Francisco,California. The action came after a dispute between Uber and state officials over whether the vehicles needed special permits to operate.

Uber recently launched testing of its self-driving service in San Francisco.But shortly after the launch, California's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) told the company to stop the self-driving vehicles.State officials said the Uber cars needed the same special permit given to about 20 other companies testing self-driving technology in California.Uber argued that its technology does not make vehicles fully autonomous,and so the special permit was not needed.It added that all of Uber's "self-driving" cars have a driver sitting in the passenger seat to take over if needed.

The head of Uber's self-driving technology,Anthony Levandowski,explained the company's position in a blog post.He said the self-driving Uber vehicles do use high-technology tools to assist drivers.But they are not fully autonomous and require a driver to be at the controls at all times..He compared the technology to solar carmaker Tesla's advanced driver assist tools.Telsa's Autopilot system allows its cars to steer in a lane,change lanes,and speed up or slow down based on nearby traffic.The company tells drivers that,when using Autopilot,they should still always be ready to take control of the vehicle.Vehicles equipped with these high-tech driver assist tools do not need a special permit to operate in California.

It's hard to understand why the DMV would seek to require self-driving Ubers to get permits when it accepts that Tesla's autopilot technology does not need them,"Levandowski wrote.San Francisco's mayor,Ed Lee,praised the DMV for stopping Uber's self-driving vehicles.He said he supports self-driving development and testing.But only under conditions that put human bicyclists' and pedestrian safety first."

1What does the underlined word "dispute" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Discussion. B. Disagreement.

C. Fighting. D. Meeting.

2Why does Uber say that the special permit was not needed?

A. Because Uber's "self driving" cars are fully autonomous.

B. Because there are passenger seats in Uber's "self-driving" cars.

C. Because no drivers are needed in some Uber's "self-driving" cars.

D. Because Uber's "self-driving" cars can be operated by humans when necessary.

3What can we know from the passage?

A. Uber's self-driving cars need human drivers.

B. Telsa's Autopilot needs special permits too.

C. Uber's self-driving cars are completely autonomous.

D. Telsa's Autopilot system is better than Uber's self-driving technology.

4What can we infer from Ed Lee's words?

A. He doesn't think DMV is right.

B. Uber's self-driving cars should he supported.

C. Uber's serf-driving cars are not safe enough.

D. One should be careful while walking or cycling in streets.
