• 1．A hydropower station employee named Gan Yu，who had been missing after a magnitude-6.8 earthquake，on September 5 in Sichuan province，had been found alive on September 21 Wednesday.
     Two days ago，Ni Taigao returned to the village to feed his sheep and saw rescue workers who were looking for Gan pass his damaged house.As he was familiar with the mountain，he decided to live in a relative's home in the village with the purpose of looking for Gan during the daytime.
     At 7 am on Wednesday，Ni took two bottles of milk and some candies before setting out from the relative's home.After walking for more than two hours，he heard somebody yelling for help on a mountain slope and found Gan lying in the forests.
     Gan's clothes were torn and he had injuries on his legs.Ni immediately called the local government and took out a bottle of milk for Gan to drink it slowly.His mental state was good，but he was extremely weak and needed to rest. "He cried heartedly and said he was lucky to have met me，" Ni said.Gan had survived by eating wild fruits and drinking spring water.
     Gan was on duty with his co-worker Luo Yong on September 5 when the quake hit，and the pair stayed behind to give first aid to injured colleagues and prevent flooding by releasing water from the dam.They attempted to leave the remote power station，walking for around 20 kilometers.But Gan，who is severely short-sighted，had lost his glasses during the quake and struggled to navigate the mountainous terrain （地形）.What's worse，the communications were interrupted.
     Later，the two agreed to let Gan stay in place，while Luo turned to the outside world for help.Luo made Gan a bed of bamboo leaves and left him some wild fruits before they separated.Luckily，Luo was rescued on the afternoon of September 8.
     Gan was reunited with his parents after being rushed to hospital.At the hospital，his parents stroked his face with tears in their eyes and said， "Son，you did a good job!"

• 2．"I'll be there in a few minutes.I'm playing a game with a friend，a guy named Snoopy， " my 15-year-old son shouted from his room. "Oh，what is Snoopy's real name？" I asked. "I have no idea，" he said. "Where is he from？" I continued.He responded， "I think somewhere in Canada.Oh，wait，it doesn't even matter because Snoopy just left the game and he has been replaced with a robot."
     "Your friend is replaced by a robot？" "It doesn't matter，Dad.It happens all the time!The game continues." My son doesn't mind playing with a person or a robot，which is typical of gamers these days.I wonder whether the face-to-face experience of friendship that I grew up with will be lost by our children.Aristotle，the great Greek thinker and educator，has pointed out that shallow friendship is easily formed but also easily quit because such bonds are weak and uncertain.Deep friendship，by contrast，is when you care for your friend for his sake，not for any benefit you can get.This is selfless friendship.You can have only a couple of these friends because they require lots of time and effort.You must make sacrifices （牺牲） for each other.
     Presence in friendship requires "being with" and "doing for".Perhaps the most typical feature of deep friendship is "doing for"，as my friend has my back in trouble or brings me soup when I'm sick.Only strong bonds have the power to motivate real sacrifices.But it is unclear why online "friends" would bother to do the hard work of friendship.When I asked my students whether they had people in their lives who would bring them soup when they were sick，they laughed at my Stone Age question and said they'd just order soup online.
     Digital life fills and absorbs waking life time so that people do not join in example case of friendship，like sports，collective arts，free range childhoods，etc.In this way，digital life produces false friendships.
  
  （1）How does the author lead in the topic of the text？

  
  A．By presenting a conversation.
  B．By discussing a robot friend.
  C．By quoting a famous thinker.
  D．By introducing an online game.
  （2）What can we know about the author？

  
  A．He could not get along well with his son.
  B．He tried to stop his son from playing with a robot.
  C．He was troubled by his son's addiction to online games.
  D．He was concerned about his son's attitude towards friends.
  （3）What does the author mainly explain in paragraph 3？

  
  A．Aristotle's views on friendship.
  B．The meaning of selfless friendship.
  C．The benefits of shallow friendship.
  D．The time needed for real friendship.
  （4）What can be inferred from the text？

  
  A．New generation values friendship a lot more.
  B．Strong bonds can be easily formed in digital life.
  C．Companionship and devotion promote real friendship.
  D．Collective activities contribute little to keeping friendship.
  （5）What is the author's attitude towards friendship in digital life？

  
  A．Doubtful.
  B．Critical.
  C．Favorable.
  D．Objective.

• 3．Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year.This annual movement is called migration （迁徙）.They migrate to find food，seek a partner，or in search of warmer weather.One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.
     Every autumn，millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey.Somehow，they manage to travel around 4，000 kilometres south and find their way to California or Mexico.However，until recently no one knew how they did this.
     A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer.They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day.It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun.These two pieces of information — the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky —allow the butterfly to determine the way to go.Eventually，it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
     The solution to the mystery of the monarch's amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.Its population has crashed by as much as 90 per cent in the last few years.Sadly，human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falljye.aig.In many of the places where the butterfly can be found，people are destroying the natural environment.They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.
     The research on the monarch's behaviour has however led to a greater awareness of this creature.People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on.If this works，there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again.The more we know about this lovely creature，the greater the chance it will survive and keep its place in the natural world for a long time to come.
  
  （1）What can we know from the text？

  
  A．All the animals migrate at fixed times of the year.
  B．Animals mainly migrate to stay away from the bad weather.
  C．It's quite challenging for monarch butterflies to migrate south.
  D．The greatest migration in the world is that of monarch butterflies.
  （2）What did Professor Eli and his team find out about the monarch butterflies？

  
  A．They fly to California or Mexico every autumn.
  B．They have the ability to identify the time of day.
  C．Human activity does great harm to their survival.
  D．They use their ears to decide the position of the sun.
  （3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "crashed" in paragraph 4？

  
  A．doubled.
  B．increased.
  C．reached.
  D．fallen.
  （4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the research？

  
  A．It is quite encouraging.
  B．It is fairly alarming.
  C．It is simply unacceptable.
  D．It is rather useless.
  （5）Where is this text most likely from？

  
  A．A nature magazine.
  B．A scientific research.
  C．A travel brochure.
  D．A personal diary.

• 4．They say once you learn how to ride a bike，you never forget.Most of us learnt when we were kids，and many still put on our helmets，put our feet on the pedals，and shoot off for a ride around the streets. （1）

  So the question is，what makes it so appealing to people to ride their bikes once again？
     First，let's look at the health benefits.Cycling can improve your cardiovascular （心血管的） health and burn extra body fat.And it also helps strengthening your leg muscles. （2）

  A long ride in the countryside could help you to clear your mind，or de-stress.But it's not only about your body and mind，there are also some plus sides for your wallet's health.
     Cycling can be a great way to commute （通勤） or get about town. （3）

  If you do drive into work，sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a nightmare，whereas finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler.Then，on the train，there are changes at stations and other commuters speaking loudly on their phones.Cyclists face neither of these issues. （4）

  Wearing high-visibility clothing，sometimes referred to as 'hi-vis'，is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads.
     （5）

  It can help you to reduce your carbon footprint.Not pumping out fumes into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.
     So，whether people want to cycle for their health，getting about town，their wallet，the environment，or a combination of all of them，cycling is gaining increasing popularity than ever before.
  
  A．In recent times，cycling is making a comeback.
  B．By cycling，you save money on fuel or train fares.
  C．Finally，cycling can also be good for the environment.
  D．Cycling's benefits aren't just physical，but mental as well.
  E．And once you have decided on cycling，the next thing is to ride it safely.
  F．Many people prefer bicycle tours compared with other forms of transportation.
  G．If you're worried about safety，there are newly-built cycle paths in many cities.
