18.A poor shepherd,whose name was Tony Barbara,lived in Scotland.It was his business to take care of the sheep which belonged to a rich landholder(地主).Sometimes he had several hundreds of lambs to look after.He drove these lambs to the pastures(牧场) on the hills and watched them day after day.
He had a dog which he called Hugo.This dog helped him watch the sheep.He would drive them from place to place as his master wished.
One dark night Tony Barbara was on the hill with a flock of seven hundred lambs.Hugo was with him.Suddenly a storm came up.The wind blew hard; the rain poured heavily.
The poor lambs were frightened.The shepherd and his dog could not keep them together.Some of them ran towards the east,some towards the west,and some towards the south.
The shepherd soon lost sight of them in the darkness.With his lighted lantern in his hand,he went up and down the rough hills calling for his lambs.
Two or three other shepherds joined him in the search.All night long they looked for the lambs.At last Tony Barbara said,"It's of no use; all we can do is go home and tell the master that we have lost his whole flock(群)."
They had walked a mile or two towards home,when they came to the edge of a narrow and deep valley.They looked down,and at the bottom they saw some lambs huddling(挤作一团) together among the rocks.And there was Hugo standing guard over them.They counted them and were surprised to find that not one lamb of the great flock of seven hundred was missing.

点评 英语记叙文以描写叙述为主,主要描写人物、事件、地点、或过程.特点是,其主题往往潜伏在字里行间,没有直接地表白出来;文章主旨要透过体察所揭示的人物、事件来进行提炼.描写手法大多按时间跨度、空间顺序、上下顺序来展开.阅读记叙文体应采取掠读和扫读的方法,快速抓住文中描写的主要内容,从整体上去把握文章的连贯性,进而大体上揣测出作者的写作意图及情感主线.高考阅读就记叙文设题大多以细节理解为主.

9.It'll be an ordinary morning,like all the others.But instead of being woken up by the buzzing of an alarm clock,you'll be roused by the smell of freshly made coffee,light entering your room as the curtains open automatically,and a gentle back massage provided by your high-tech bed.
This is what a typical person's life will be like two decades from now,according to The Guardian.Want to know more?
After you get up,your apartment will be like an electronic orchestra with you as the conductor.With simple moves of your hand and spoken instructions,you'll be able to control your apartment's temperature,humidity,music and lighting.You'll be able to look through the day's news on translucent (半透明的)screens while your breakfast waits for you in the automatic oven.
As you move into your kitchen,maybe you will stub your toe on the edge of a cabinet.You'll grab your cell phone and open the diagnostics app.Inside your phone there will be a tiny microchip that uses X-ray waves to scan your body.The scan will reveal that your toe is just bruised,not broken,which will convince you not to see a doctor.
After breakfast,your driverless car will take you to work.While you drive,your central computer system will suggest a list of chores your housekeeping robots could see to today and it will also remind you to buy a gift for your mother's upcoming birthday.
As you can see,with the help of advanced technologies,our lives will be more efficient.Technology will mitigate our forgetfulness and free us of many small burdens that distract us,such as buying a ticket or trying to remember our kids'parent-teacher meeting.Our brain will therefore be able to focus on more important things like preparing for a presentation or doing"deep thinking".
However,the development of technology might have some shortcomings as well.By 2033,we'll be relying heavily on the virtual world,which will mean that all of our data will be stored in the cloud,a remote digital storage system with near limitless capacity.That will increase the possibility of someone else accessing,sharing or manipulating (操控) our personal information.

67.What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?B.
A.To stress the importance of developing technology.
B.To describe how advanced technologies will affect our future lives.
C.To introduce one new invention that will benefit our future lives.
D.To remind people not to depend too much on computers.
68.According to the text,in two decades,C.
A.you'll be able to rely on an electronic orchestra to wake you up instead of an alarm clock
B.a tiny microchip in your phone will treat you when you arc sick
C.you will be able to adjust the conditions of your apartment via oral instructions or simple hand gestures
D.technology will be smart enough to help us with important things like preparing for a presentation
69.What docs the underlined word"mitigate"in Paragraph 6mean?C.
A.Cure.B.Worsen.C.Make up for.D.Take advantage of.
70.Which best describes the author's attitude toward our future lives?B.
A.Worried.B.Objective.C.Positive.D.Negative.

6.Fatu Kekula is a hero.The 22-year-old Liberian nursing student,in her final year,managed to save the members of her immediate family from the Ebola virus,all without the help and convenience of a hospital.
Kekula reduced the rate to 25percent.Four of her family members were infected with the virus.Her father,Moses,her mother,Victoria,her sister,Vivian and her 14-year-old cousin,Alfred Winnie.Sadly,Kekula's cousin succumbed to the virus.It's also impressive to note that while Kekula was treating her family members she managed to avoid Ebola entirely.
On July 27,Kekula's father,Moses,went to a hospital in Kanata,after his blood pressure rose sharply.The only reason the hospital had a bed to offer him was because someone had just died.But the staff in the hospital didn't realize the patient died from an Ebola infection.Shortly,after he was admitted to the hospital,Moses developed a fever,started vomiting and was suffering from diarrhea.Once nurses started dying of Ebola,the hospital shut down and Moses had to leave.Kekula drove 90minutes to Monrovia,the capital of Liberia,to seek treatment.Three hospitals turned them away because there is no spare bed for patients at all.
Kekula made the drive back to Kanata to another hospital.They told Moses he had typhoid fever and did very little to treat him.So Kekula took him home.Once he was there,he infected three other family members.Her mother,sister and their cousin who was living with them.
Kekula only lost one patient,her cousin.Her method proved so effective that international aid workers,including UNICEF,began teaching it to others in West Africa who may not be able to get to hospitals for treatment.
Her father,mother and sister were already recovering when space became available at the JFK Medical Center on August 17.Alfred passed away at the hospital the next day.Kekula's father,Moses said,"I'm very,very proud.She saved my life through the almighty God."
25.What is the best title for the passage?B
A.A courageous and selfless nurse.
B.Give her a medal:Woman saves family members from Ebola.
C.A family survived Ebola with the help of government.
D.The dreadful disease Ebola.
26.What does the underlined word"succumbed to"in Paragraph 2mean?C
A.was affected with       
B.survived       
C.died of         
D.fight against
27.Why Kekula took her father home?B
A.Because a patient died from an Ebola infection in the hospital in Kanata.
B.Because they were turned down by hospitals and little can be done to her father.
C.Because Moses were already recovering when he was admitted to the JFK Medical Center.
D.Because nurses started dying of Ebola and many hospitals were shut down.
