1． There are plenty of exciting destinations with low prices.Let's look at three of the best.
Budapest
Budapest is the capital of Hungary.The city is famous for its cafés.There are several good ones to choose from，but you must try Gerbeaud.Finally，you can't leave the city without visiting one of its amazing Turkish baths.Some of them date back to the 16th century.The Hotel Gellert has a wonderful complex open to the general public，and the Szechenyi Baths are the largest in Europe.The baths in the Városliget （the City Park），which you can enter from Heroes' Square，are a UNESCO World Heritage site and another place you must see.
Bucharest
Once you are in Bucharest，the capital of Romania，you should visit Manuc's Inn，which is a 19th-century caravanserai （商队客店）.It's located in the Lipscani District （the heart of the city），and it's a journey back in time to when Bucharest was an important trading centre.It's also a great place to have lunch and a drink.Classical architecture is everywhere，of course，and the Casa Presei Libere （The House of the Free Press） is a good example of this.
Sofia
From Bucharest，it's only 300 kilometres to Sofia，the Bulgarian capital.Sofia is an ancient place，and parts of the city walls date back to the 7th century BCE and can still be seen.You should find time for the Boyana Church.It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and has amazing wall paintings dating back to 1259.You should also take a trip out of the city to explore the Vitosha，a wonderful place for skiing in winter.

2．Growing up，Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be． "I was a black girl，from a refugee（难民） family，" Deka said． "It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box．"
After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field，Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future．Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California，planning to become a professor．
Born and raised in San Diego's City Heights neighbourhood，Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple．While some might say Deka's success happened in spite of her background，she would say differently，that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven，young scientist that she is today．
When Deka was eight years old，her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family．That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one's life．She spent a lot of time in the library reading books，and didn't do many of the things her peers did，like partying or having romantic relationships．
"I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family，" Deka said． "You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else．I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up．"
Deka's efforts paid off．The summer before her senior year of high school，she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme． "She brought both enthusiasm and focus，" Botham，a researcher at this research institute，recalled． "She arrived every day ready to work，ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar．"
When asked what advice she would give to others like her，Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves． "Don't tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I'll never get into this school，" she said． "I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in．"

3． In 1802，31-year-old Beethoven paced through the countryside around Vienna.Rays of sunshine pierced through the trees，the hard soil crunched beneath his feet and birds conducted their own orchestra.But Beethoven wasn't amazed at these details.Some years earlier，he had started to lose his jye.aiaring.He still persevered with his work，and went on creating timeless music.But he found little joy in the process.
Today，466 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss，and over 900 million are expected to have it by 2050，according to the World Health Organization.Its impact is often underestimated compared with other disabilities，and people with hearing loss constantly experience communication difficulties in their everyday lives.They often mishear the speech and find it very difficult to follow conversations.The miscommunication can lead individuals to feel isolated as they struggle to take part in social interactions，and ultimately lead them to withdraw from society.As Helen Keller once wrote：Blindness cuts us off from things，but deafness cuts us off from people.
To this day，there is still no cure for sensorineural （感觉神经性的） hearing loss （the most common type，and the one Beethoven had）.We have advanced technological devices that strengthen the sound，such as hearing aids and cochlear implants （人工耳蜗），but these still don't restore hearing.Scientists have been studying the regeneration process of hair cells in non-mammals，and they have identified various genes and proteins that have central roles.These can be targeted at stimulating support cells in the cochlea to create more hair cells and replace those that died.Some of these cell therapies have been successful in restoring the hearing of mice and guinea pigs：a breakthrough!If it works，such a scientific advance could transform hearing health care.
When Beethoven lost his hearing，he separated himself from society，but one thing that gave him strength was the hope that his hearing could be regained one day.But each medical remedy he attempted failed.In 1802，he wrote：But thinking that for six years now，I have been hopelessly afflicted，made worse by senseless physicians，from year to year cheated by hopes of improvement，and finally forced to face a lasting disease （whose cure will take years or perhaps be impossible）.
（1）What does the first paragraph serve as？
A．An introduction.
B．A background.
C．A comment.
D．An explanation.
（2）What is the main idea of the second paragraph？
A．We all should give a hand to the disabled.
B．The difficulties the deaf in the world are facing.
C．There are many people going through hardship.
D．Helen Keller and Beethoven have the same problem.
（3）What makes the author feel relieved according to the passage？
A．The deaf are optimistic about their lives.
B．Science and technology are vital for the world.
C．The deaf are always inspired by the famous.
D．Technology is helping the deaf find a solution.
（4）What is the best title for the passage？
A．Thanks to your dream
B．Everything is possible
C．Beethoven's dream
D．I have a dream组卷：0引用：2难度：0.5

9．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事．
Several years ago，I was living in New York and working for an airline，so I never got back home for Christmas． My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around． But in my heart，I was sad because I couldn't stay with my family． Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears． But this Christmas was different． I was lucky． I had the whole day off，which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve．
When Christmas miming came，I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face． "Dad． Merry Christmas！" was all my younger son lad time to say． He seemed to be racing against time． I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly． I got downstairs just to see the two little boys' faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left them． I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus． At first，their fingers went almost shyly over their toys． When their inspection（检查）had been completed，the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room．
Delight flooded the room． As their mother began giving out gins，I smiled to myself， wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received． With so many Christmas spent outside，I had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places． But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them． They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires． But had not received a single one．I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years．
