On the broad landing between Miss Havisham's own room and that other room in which the long table was laid out, I saw a garden chair -- a light chair on wheels that you pushed from behind. It had been placed there since my last visit, and that same day I pushed Miss Havisham in this chair (when she was tired of walking with her hand upon my shoulder) round her own room, and across the landing and round the other room, which, from that day on, became my regular job.

As we began to be more used to one another, Miss Havisham talked more to me, and asked me such questions as what had I learnt and what was I going to be? I told her I was going to be apprenticed(做学徒) to Joe, my sister’s husband; then I explained my knowing nothing and wanting to know everything, in the hope that she might offer some help. But, she did not; on the contrary, she seemed to prefer my being ignorant. Neither did she ever give me any money - or anything but my daily dinner - nor even mentioned that I should be paid for my services.

Estella was always about, and always let me in and out, but never told me I might kiss her again. Sometimes, she would coldly tolerate me; sometimes, she would be seemingly kind to me; sometimes, she would be quite familiar with me; sometimes, she would tell me energetically that she hated me. Miss Havisham would often ask me in a whisper, or when we were alone, “Does she grow prettier and prettier, Pip?” And when I said yes, Miss Havisham would seem to enjoy it greedily. Also, when we played at cards Miss Havisham would look on Estella's moods, whatever they were. And sometimes, when her moods were so many and so contradictory of one another that I was puzzled what to say or do, Miss Havisham would hold her tightly with great fondness, saying something quietly in her ear that sounded like “Break their hearts my pride and hope, break their hearts and have no mercy!”

1.What did Pip regularly do at Miss Havisham’s home?

A. He placed the garden chair on the broad landing.

B. He walked with Estella’s hand upon his shoulder.

C. He learned knowledge from Miss Havisham.

D. He pushed Miss Havisham in the wheel chair.

2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A. Pip was excited to learn from Joe, his sister’s husband.

B. Pip desired to improve his present situation.

C. Miss Havisham felt sorry about Pip’s being ignorant.

D. Miss Havisham helped Pip by paying for his services for her.

3.What’s Estella’s attitude towards Pip?

A. Changeable B. Sincere

C. Warm-hearted D. Indifferent

4. Miss Havisham held Estella tightly because _______.

A. she wanted to blame Estella for hurting Pip.

B. she felt worried about Estella’s moods.

C. she thought Estella did something right.

D. she treated Estella like her own daughter.

Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I changed my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn’t covered by water or mud. As Ireached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable andfrom somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or fivetimes. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt, I wouldn’t have found itamusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!

His courage inattacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemedadmirable.

When you’re a junior in high school, three little letters quickly become larger than life: SAT.

At the start of my junior year, I realized that the environment was packed with competition. Surprisingly, this pressure didn’t come from adults. It came from the other students. Everyone in my grade had college on the brain. To get into the college of our choice, we all believed, we had to outcompete and outscore everyone else with less sleep, because time for sleeping was time you didn’t spend studying for the SAT.

I let myself get swept up in the pressure. My new motto was, if I wasn’t in every single honor level class, I wasn’t doing enough. I was bad-tempered and I couldn’t focus. I stopped talking to my friends and my mom, and I couldn’t figure out who I was. I didn’t have the confidence to know that my own passions and unique skills were what would make me stand out to colleges.

That’s when I realized: I am not my SAT score. Trying to stick to what I thought colleges wanted masked who I really am. I decided to rely on my strengths and get away from the crazy pressure I was putting on myself.

Instead of forcing myself into higher levels of math, I took on an extra history class. I learned how to love what I was doing and not what I thought I was supposed to do. I learned to shine as an individual, not a faceless member of the crowd. And I found that not only was this better for my happiness, but it also made me more effective and efficient when I studied.

To me, individuality means having the confidence to decide who I am and who I want to be, and a number on a page is never going to change that. I am more sure of myself, and more ready to apply for college, than ever.

1.At the start of the junior year, the author decided to study for the SAT ________.

A. to overcome the pressure from other high school students

B. to test how good she was at studying compared to others

C. because it was exciting to compete with others to get into college

D. because she was eager to get an advantage over others in the competition

2.When did the author realize she shouldn’t just compete for scores?

A. When she got in every single honor level class.

B. When everybody stopped talking to her.

C. When she found she was no longer her usual self.

D. When she forced herself to take advanced maths.

3.What can you infer from Paragraph 5?

A. She tried to live as who she was, not just a student focusing on grades.

B. She learned to team up with others and so gained efficiency.

C. She managed to do well in both maths and history classes.

D. She wanted to be number one and no one could change her mind.

4.Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage?

A. Pressure brings out the best in you.

B. You will stand out by being your best self.

C. Things will happen whether you like it or not.

D. Life is just a matter of decisive times.

NASA on September 28, 2015 announced the strongest evidence yet for liquid water on the red planet, increasing the possibility that astronauts journeying to Mars could someday rely on the planet's own water for their drinking needs.

You may feel like you've heard about the hunt for liquid water on Mars before—and the researchers involved know it may seem played out. But science has yet to truly prove that water flows on Mars once and for all, and doing so could completely change the way we view the planet. This new data is a big step in the right direction.

"Liquid water is an attractive topic, and we like the thousandth time someone has discovered water on Mars," Lujendra Ojha, the Georgia Tech PhD candidate who led the research announced Monday, told The Post. But there's a good reason that liquid water is so "attractive": Mars is now the only planet in our solar system to show evidence of the stuff on its surface, other than our own. Other worlds have it in subsurface oceans, or scattered around as vapor in the atmosphere. But Mars is the only place where we have solid evidence for liquid that sits right there in the open air. While it would be a major leap to suggest that Mars might harbor life—even microbial life—liquid water at least makes it possible that parts of the planet are habitable.

The study builds on research from April, when scientists using data from the Curiosity rover noted that the planet had the seasonal potential for liquid water. We know that because of the extremely low pressure on Mars, water has a boiling point of just a few degrees Celsius, after which it evaporates. The April study noted the presence of perchlorates (高氯酸盐) —a kind of salt—which could make the boiling point of Mars' water much higher, theoretically allowing it to remain liquid. They affirmed that the planet's temperature would be right for liquid, perchlorate-filled water to form every day during winter and spring.

1.What does the Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

A. The significance of the discovery.

B. The doubt of the discovery.

C. The difficulty of the discovery.

D. The expense of the discovery.

2.The underlined words "our own" in Paragraph 3 refer to ________.

A. Mars

B. the earth

C. liquid water

D. the solar system

3. What plays an important role in making Mars' water in the state of liquid?

A. The thick atmosphere around Mars.

B. The physical structure of Mars.

C. The extremely low pressure on Mars.

D. Perchlorates in Mar's water.

4. The best title for the passage can be "________".

A. Water on Mars could be used for dringking

B. There might be some kinds of life on Mars

C. NASA would send astronauts to journey to Mars

D. NASA confirms the best-ever evidence for water on Mars

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be deserted and made useless. 1. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future.

The car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. 2.

Unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams. 3.

When the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail, which is similar to hose(软管) powering subway trains electrically. Once joined to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system and control of the car will pass to a central computer. 4.

The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system. The computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. ____5. It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10,000 cars per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be carried by a present-day highway.

A. The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warm him of his coming exit.

B. Other experts however think the car is here to stay.

C. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.

D. There will be plenty of policemen on the highway to control the traffic.

E. One suggested solution to this essential problem is the automated (自动的) system which seems to hold water.

F. The computer will then monitor all the car’s movements.

G. All of the experts don’t know what will happen in the future.

I was taking a train to London’s Victoria Station. I had noticed that the carriage was noise and filled with people.

Before long, a train inspector comes to check out tickets. A passenger realized he couldn’t find his ticket but became quite upset. Then everyone in the carriage began searching the ticket, which was eventually found under a seat several rows from his owner. The person who found a ticket smiled with pleasure at his success.

No one in the carriage had previous spoken to or even noticed the ticket-owner before. Yet, they had so quickly offered the strangers their help. If we could show concern to others in need, the world would be a better place to live.
