【题目】 Robert Vallieres hikes for miles, often three times a week, climbing the high mountains, just to get a glimpse of his beloved birds.

Many years ago, as a young engineer in the army, Vallieres was struck in the head in a task in Gulf War, which ended his military career and left him fighting for his life. He was 28 years old and battled stress, survivor’s guilt and PTSD (创伤后应激障碍). “When you’re disabled and you really can’t move too much, you’re wondering if death is nearby.” he said.

Despite his condition, Vallieres still had to be a father to his little boy-a curious child who helped jump start his love for birds.

One day, his three-year-old son noticed a bird and asked his father what kind it was. Vallieres bought a bird identification book and started learning along with his son. He bought some small telescopes and the two began observing birds together near their home in New Hampshire.

Then came another turning point. Vallieres saw an ad in the newspaper for a birding trip in New Hampshire’s White Mountains and signed up.

Now it’s his joy and renewed purpose to track and save the peregrine falcon and the bald eagle-two species nearly wiped out by the chemicals used for killing pests. It’s hard physical work for anyone, which needs patience, keen observation skills and time. But Vallieres is a natural at it, because his military training made him a perfect match, especially in reading maps and navigating.

Vallieres says not only does his volunteering help with physical fitness, but also his mental state. “To find rhythm or purpose in life besides myself,” says Vallieres, “I shouldn’t get stuck on myself but have a way out.”

1What led to Vallieres leaving the army?

A.Life failure.B.Severe injury.

C.His son.D.Love for birds.

2How did Vallieres start his new rhythm in life?

A.By climbing mountains often.

B.By buying some small telescopes.

C.By strengthening the military training.

D.By signing up for protecting birds.

3Why is Vallieres suitable for the volunteer work?

A.For his habit of reading.B.For his experience in army.

C.For his devotion to career.D.For his talent in drawing maps.

4What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.A Volunteer’s Story of Saving Birds

B.An Inspiring Story of Self-motivation

C.A Soldier’s Story of Healing through Birds

D.A Moving Story Between a Father and His Son

【题目】 Sometimes while sitting doing nothing, our minds recall events from the past that make us all tingly inside. I had one of those moments yesterday. I believe this was triggered(引起)by the oldie The Impossible Dream that was playing on the radio yesterday afternoon!

In 1971, returning from our regular Friday night pregame meeting, I had no sooner walked in the door of our three-room apartment hack than the phone rang. It was the township police. They inquired if I was the football coach. I answered yes and asked if there was a problem. He said our football team had climbed the fence of the township football field and were sitting somewhere around the 50-yard line quietly. It was really not a problem. However, he thought I would like to know. I called my assistants, and made our way to the field.

We met the police at the locked gate. The field was dark and silent. Then, suddenly, we heard voices singing—together and on key—the team theme song, The Impossible Dream. Silently, we listened and became overwhelmed(压倒)with emotion. Even the policemen had tears rolling down their cheeks. When the team had finished, they walked slowly to the now-opened gate of the field and were shocked to see us waiting there. Of course, our first words were, "What is going on?"

Mike Bernert, the team captain, replied, "Well, coach, you told us to visualize our performance in our mind just before the night of the game. So we came and visualized the upcoming game while sitting on the 50-yard line. Afterward, we would sing The Impossible Dream.”

The coaches and I were overwhelmed. And of course, the team, which was undefeated at this point, never lost a game that season.

1What does the underlined word “tingly” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Frightened.B.Excited.

C.Worried.D.Puzzled.

2Why did the police call?

A.The team did something unusual.

B.The team had conflicts with fans.

C.The team locked themselves in the football field.

D.The team damaged the fences of the playground.

3How did the team feel when they saw the author and the policeman?

A.Happy.B.Sad.

C.Ashamed.D.Surprised.

4What is the purpose for the team to sing the song?

A.To enjoy themselves.B.To inspire themselves.

C.To celebrate their success.D.To rest themselves.

【题目】 What do you do when nobody is around to take your picture? You take a selfie (拍照) .But what about selfies in space? On Twitter last year, NASA astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969, laid claim to a spaceflight first taking the first selfie in space during the Gemini XII mission in 1966.

“For me, it needs to be digital to be selfie,” argues Jennifer Levasseur, who is in charge of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. According to Levasseur, the concept of a selfie is directly linked to Internet culture and human desire to interact on social platforms. “The thing that makes a selfie is sharing it,” she says.

Still, astronauts have been carrying cameras abroad space vehicles since the 1960s ,and they've taken plenty of pictures of themselves along the way. Astronauts had to pull the film magazines out and leave their cameras behind when they returned to Earth because early space missions were restricted by a conservative weight limit on the return trip.

A big change in space camera technology came after sad loss of the space shuttle Columbia who broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003. “Fearing that they would never be able to bring the film back from space and lose all that hard work celebrated the push for digital.” Levasseur says.

Today astronauts can have access to the Internet and social platforms in space and post true based selfies taken by digital cameras. Taking selfies and sharing them on social media is a way that astronauts in space can participate in the same activities people on Earth do every day. The first astronaut selfie that went viral(网红的) on the internet was one by Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide in 2012.

1What does Levasseur think of Aldrin's claim?

A.It hardly makes any sense.B.It revolutionizes astronautics.

C.It contradicts public opinions.D.It needs to be further proved.

2Why were cameras left in space on early space missions?

A.To lighten the load of the spaceship.

B.To test cameras under extreme conditions.

C.To prepare for the next stage of spaceexploration.

D.To take more pictures in space by remote control.

3What advanced space camera technology?

A.The invention of new films

B.The fear of falling behind in the space race

C.The concern about the loss of valuable data

D.The popularity of space selfies on socia media

4What is the best title for the text?

A.The Exploration of Space.B.The History of Selfies in Space.

C.The Change in Space Camera Technology.D.The Development in Space Technology.
