2．I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines （疫苗） cause brain damage，and do not contribute to the health and safety of a society.The only shot I received was for tetanus （破伤风） when I was two months old.After that，nothing.
At the beginning of each school year，I was very nervous.Delayed term paper？Mischievous （捣蛋的） behavior？Late for school？None of them.I'd be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster's office.The school doctor would tell me I hadn't received any of the necessary shots to attend school.But the same thing occurred each time：my mom would free me from the shots and nothing would happen.
After doing a lot of research，I found although people who don't vaccinate their children make up only a relatively small group，they can cause major consequences.People who，for health or age reasons，cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease.
Eventually，I turned 18.In Ohio，where I live，I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make the decision to receive vaccine shots.A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was the message board website Reddit.Last November，I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor.After my post received more than 1，000 comments，I made an appointment with my family physician.Despite how strongly my mother felt，I went through with it anyway.
I did something every person should do.It wasn't special in any way.Vaccines protect the health and safety of not only yourself but also other people.Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don't get vaccinated.This was the biggest reason I got vaccines despite the opposition.
（1）What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1？
A．He was born disabled.
B．He suffered from tetanus.
C．He was hardly vaccinated.
D．He was spoiled by his mother.
（2）Why did the author feel nervous at the beginning of each school year？
A．Because he would never behave himself.
B．Because he couldn't go to school on time.
C．Because he often forgot to do his term paper.
D．Because he would be called to meet headmaster.
（3）How might the author's mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician？
A．Grateful.
B．Annoyed.
C．Excited.
D．Guilty.
（4）What message does the author try to convey through his story？
A．Obeying the old pays off.
B．Keeping fit is the best policy.
C．Doing the right thing matters.
D．Following advice is beneficial.组卷：7引用：9难度：0.5 -
3．For more than 30 years，Mauro Morandi has been the only resident of a beautiful island the Mediterranean sea.He hoped to make it his life-long home，but that is now under threat.
Morandi now faces eviction（驱逐）from the Isle of Budelli，off the coast of Sardinia，if he doesn't voluntarily leave.Local authorities are speeding up plans to turn his hut into an environmental observatory.
Morandi arrived on the island by accident while attempting to sail from Italy to Polynesia 31 years ago.He fell in love with the pure water，coral sands and beautiful sunsets，and decided to stay.He took over from the previous caretaker shortly afterward and，at the age of 81，he's still there and ready to fight for his home，whatever it takes.
"I wouldn't know where else to go live—this is my home.All I ask is，if I must be sent away during the reconstruction work，that I can come back after and keep doing what I do each day：guard the pink coral beach，keep tourists at bay，and protect nature.I fear that if I'm gone，the pink coral beach will survive only on postcards from the past，"Morandi says.An online petition（请愿） has been launched to this end，which in just a few days has gathered more than 2，600 supporters across the world.
The island has changed ownership several times over the last few years.Since 20 Budelli has been owned by La Maddalena's National Park，making Morandi's role a thing of the past.The authorities say they are simply upholding the law."Our priority is to intervene against all illegal construction inside the park，including Morandi's hut.We need to set an example：protect our environment by first restoring this illegal structure，and then move on with a new project which will likely be a scientific center for the spreading of environmental awareness，"La Maddalena's National Park president Fabbrizio Fonnesu says.
（1）Why did Morandi choose to live on Budelli about three decades ago？
A．Because he wanted to save the island.
B．Because he got tired of the noisy city.
C．Because he was attracted by its beauty.
D．Because he was going to be its caretaker.
（2）What worries Morandi at the thought of leaving Budelli？
A．The reconstruction work of the natural park.
B．The possible damage to the environment.
C．The change of the island's ownership.
D．The loss of his hut on the island.
（3）How does Fonnesu look at Morandi's hut？
A．It is against the law.
B．It is a witness of history.
C．It is dangerous to live in.
D．It is a landmark of Budelli.
（4）Where is the text probably from？

Our teacher had asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat， "I can't believe we only have two nights to finish it，" Noah said with a sigh. "I have no idea how I'll get mine done."
I didn't say anything.Not because I was nervous—I wasn't nervous at all.1 love art projects!In fact，I was so relaxed that I didn't work on the project at all on Monday night.I planned to start the minute I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday.But there was just one thing.
I forgot baseball would run later than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies，which happens every month，and it's a chance for us older students to practise baseball with the adorable younger kids.The second I got home，I threw the entire craft box （手工盒） onto the kitchen table，took out my "How Plants Eat" paper，and started to work.But just then，the telephone rang.
It was my friend Ollie，who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I'd come help decorate them.I love decorating cookies，and I love，love，love Abucla's world-famous Thanksgiving cookies that only happen once a year!
I had no choice.I had to go.Ollie and I put all the star cookies with red jam filling in one group，and all the snowflakes with white cream-cheese filling in another.It was 7 o'clock when I finally got home.1 planned to work on my project right after we ate.But then another interruption hit me.
