John spent years walking into a supermarket in his neighborhood. There he often waved to a friendly saleswoman. Recently, John got some news. To his surprise, he found the saleswoman in the supermarket was his sister Buddline.
Altogether, John has a brother and three sisters. So far he has found all of them. The children were all given up over 50 years ago by their mother. At that time, their mother lived a very hard life and had to give them to an organization.
One of the children, Deidre found their mother later in life and took care of her until her death last year. Buddline, 56, knew their mother’s name and was found by Deidre after their mother died. One by one, they found all the rest except John. They called the organization, which called John and told him about his family this summer.
When Deidre told him about their other siblings（兄弟姐妹）and showed him Buddline’s picture, John couldn’t believe his eyes because he then knew Buddline was the saleswoman in the supermarket. Soon John and Buddline made up for the lost time they spent as just a customer and a sales woman.
All five siblings met face to face for the first time in October. “I walked in and I was just kind of speechless,” John said. “The conversation got going after a while, but we all just looked at each other and we all look alike.”
In just a matter of weeks, John, who had no kids of his own and lost his adoptive parents（养父母）last year, got four siblings and “at least” ten nieces and nephews. “I gained a huge family,” said John, the eldest sibling.

科目：初中英语 来源：2018年江苏译林版苏州九年级中考一模阅读整理D篇 题型：阅读单选
Death Valley，one of America's great national parks，is a place of strange and silent beauty. As beautiful as this place is, its name provides evidence(迹象)of very real danger. Death Valley is a land of beautiful yet dangerous extremes. There are mountains that reach more than 3，000 meters into the sky. "There is a place called Badwater that is the lowest area of land in the Western Hemisphere. If there were water there，it would be 86 meters below the level of the ocean.
Death Valley can be dangerously cold during the winter months. Storms in the mountains can produce sudden flooding on the floor of the Valley. The air temperature during the summer has been as high as 57℃. The sun can heat the ground so that the temperature of the rocks and soil can be as high as 74℃. The extreme heat of Death Valley has ever killed people. It will continue to kill those who do not honor this extreme climate. Death Valley does not forgive those who are not careful.
Death Valley is a good example of the violence(暴力)of nature. It contains evidence of several ancient volcanoes that caused huge explosions. Evidence of one of these explosions is called Ubehebe Crater. The explosion left a huge hole in the ground almost a kilometer and a half wide.
In many areas of Death Valley it is easy to see where the ground has been pushed up strongly by movement deep in the Earth. This movement has created unusual and beautiful rock formations. Some are red. Others are dark brown，gray，yellow or black. Other areas of rock look as if some huge creature heavily broke and twisted the Earth to create unusual, sometimes frightening shapes.
In other parts of Death Valley there are lines in the rock that show clearly that this area was deep under an ocean for many thousands of years. Much of the alley is flat and very dry. In fact, scientists believe it is the driest place in the United States.
Death Valley, part of the Great Mojave Desert, is a huge place. It extends more than 225 kilometers across the southern part of California, and across the border with Nevada.
1.Which of the underlined word "twisted" in Paragraph 4 most possibly means .
A. 提供 B. 引起 C. 延伸 D. 扭曲
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The water in Badwater is 86 meters below the level of the ocean.
B. The highest air temperature in summer can reach as high as 74℃.
C. There might have been sea-born lives living in Death Valley.
D. The ground has been pushed up hard by explosions of volcanoes.
3.Why were some people killed by Death Valley?
A. Because they didn't respect Death Valley and thus they were punished.
B. Because several volcanoes broke out and caused huge explosions.
C. Because they were not careful enough to take with them what they needed.
D. Because it is very hot in summer and dangerously cold in winter.

Almost everyone has a piggy bank (储蓄罐), but did you ever wonder why people often make it in the shape of a pig?
Believe it or not, people made the piggy bank in the shape of a pig by mistake. In the Middle Ages, many containers (容器) at home were made of a kind of cheap clay (陶土) called pygg. The word “pygg” sounds the same as “pig”. At that time, there weren’t banks like we have today, so people would save their money at home in some clay containers. Because the kind of clay was called pygg, people called the containers pygg banks. Over time this became piggy banks. After several hundred years, people forgot that the word “pygg” meant a kind of clay.
The English language also changed. People used the word “pig” more commonly. So when English workers were asked to make “piggy banks”, they thought they needed to make containers in the shape of pigs. Surprisingly, the pig-shaped containers were popular.
Today piggy banks are made of all kinds of things, and they also come in different shapes and animals. But people still call those cute containers for money piggy banks.
根据材料内容完成下列任务。
任务一：判断正（T）误（F）。
1.In old times, “pygg” was a kind of cheap clay.
