2．I got my first job at 12，as a waitress.I learned more as a waitress than I ever did in a classroom.When I went on to college，it paid for tuition，housing and，eventually，a camera.It allowed me to free myself.But best of all，being a waitress taught me to quickly assess and understand all kinds of people.Making small talks and quickly putting people at ease are great training for journalist.
From the moment I picked up a camera，I was hooked.All I wanted to do was take pictures for the university newspaper.The week I finished college，I was hired by the Globe，a regional daily newspaper.The two-year experience that followed was like a master class in photojournalism.Among the most important things learned there was that if you can make friends with a shy Norwegian farmer and be invited to his kitchen table，you can probably do well in any culture on Earth.
It was while I was working at the Globe that I happened to answer the phone one morning，a man's voice said. "This is Bob Gilka，National Geographic.I need a hail damage picture.You got a big hailstorm last night？" I overcame my nervousness and responded "Yes，sir." Thus began one of the most important relationships of my life，with the legendary Director of Photography Bob Gilka.
Bob was looking for talented photographers to join his team，and he was not easily impressed.Praise from Bob meant as much to most photographers as a Pulitzer Prize.My little picture of hail damage luckily won it，making me the youngest photographer in National Geographic.
I am deeply grateful for the amazing lessons photography has taught me.I have learned that language isn't always necessary，but touch usually is；that all people are not alike，but they do mostly have the same hopes and fears；that judging others does great harm，but listening to them enriches；and that it is impossible to hate a group of people once you get to know one of them as an individual.
（1）What is the purpose of the first paragraph？
A．To describe what life was like working as a waitress.
B．To compare the author's life before and after becoming a waitress.
C．To recall how a part-time job provided the author with financial freedom.
D．To explain how waitressing helped preparing the author for her life career.
（2）The underlined "I was hooked" is closest in meaning to.
A．I was hurt.
B．I was employed.
C．I was addicted.
D．I was successful.
（3）Why was the author nervous when answering the phone？
A．Because the caller was reporting on the hail storm damage.
B．Because the caller was an important figure in photographing.
C．Because she was uncertain about the caller's purpose and intention.
D．Because she wanted to start an important relationship with the caller.
（4）What has life as a photographer taught the author？
A．Listening to others is important.
B．People have different hope and fears.
C．Journalists must have great language skills.
D．One can never really know people as individuals.組卷：1引用：4難度：0.5 -
3．Travel enthusiasts fifty years ago talked about travelling to fascinating places around the world.Today the talk is about going beyond the world and the Earth.The thirst is creating a demand for space travel，giving rise to space tourism.
The space flights are not cheap --- each flight into outer space costs about U.S. ＄20 million.Up till now，it has solely been enjoyed by a few adventurous super-rich men.To reduce the high cost of space travel for the mass market，space travel agencies now have a creative plan to offer suborbital flights，which cost much less.These joyrides will enable the tourists to reach the edge of space，which is more than 62 miles above the Earth，and allow them the experience of a few minutes of weightlessness as they gaze at the Earth below，before they return down to Earth again.
Space tourism is，however，not an environmentally friendly adventure.The black carbon emitted by the spacecraft could either raise temperatures at the poles，causing a melting of the ice or lead to rising temperatures，contributing to global warming.The emission of black carbon also causes the ozone molecules to break apart，contributing to several kilotons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
Looking beyond Earth，an increase in space travel would mean that Man would not only leave his footprint in space but also his waste --- space tourism can contribute to pollution of the environment of the outer space.With no current plans for waste disposal，one can only imagine clumps of lifter floating around the planets.
Without doubt，space tourism opens up new exciting possibilities.With time，the price of the flights to space would become more reasonable.Increasing commercialization of space travel would also mean that a structure would be put in n place for the disposal of space waste.However，with no immediate solution to counter the possible impact on climate changes and the thinning of the ozone layer，space tourism would probably prove to be yet another controversial（有爭(zhēng)議的）venture of mankind.
（1）What push space tourism to develop？
A．Investment from millionaires.
B．Talks between travel enthusiasts.
C．People's ambition to travel.
D．Human's travel habits and customs.
（2）How do travel agencies reduce the high cost of space travel？
A．By reaching the orbit of the spaceship.
B．By cutting the distance of space travelling.
C．By allowing the people to travel alone in space.
D．By guiding travelers to gaze at the earth when landing.
（3）According to the passage，what will eventually make space travel controversial？
A．The high cost of space flight.
B．Causing global warming.
C．The lack of waste disposal project.
D．Further Ozone layer build-up.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title of passage？
A．The Next Tourist Attraction：Space
B．Pros and Cons：Space Science Is on the Way
C．A Milestone in Technology：Manned Spaceship
D．A Controversial Program：Travel for the Ozone Layer組卷：2引用：3難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Anna took her first baby-sitting job in Peter Smith's and played games with Peter's three children until the bedtime.Mr.Smith praised her for the great work.After Mrs.Smith had pressed the money into her hand，Anna didn't even look at the money and then walked out of the house.She'd expected ten dollars.Now she saw that it was a one-hundred-dollar bill!
Anna imagined her parents' faces when she handed them the one hundred dollars.
Things hadn't been easy for Anna's family since Anna's dad had lost his engineering job a year ago.There had been no new clothes or movies in the last year.They no longer went out to eat on Fridays.Anna didn't really mind，as long as her family was together.But now she could help.One hundred dollars!That was enough to fill the car with gas or to buy a bag of groceries.
Her excitement faded as she wondered if Mrs.Smith realized how much money she had given her.Could she have made a mistake？Anna felt bad as she remembered that Mrs.Smith had simply pulled the money from her purse without looking at it.
Anna thought，"Maybe Mrs.Smith meant to give me the one-hundred-dollar bill.Baby-sitting three children is a lot of work." Soon Anna remembered that the Smiths didn't seem to have much money，either.But，she silently argued with herself. "They gave me the money.I didn't steal it."
She found her parents in the living room.Anna took a deep breath and told them what had happened. "I wanted to give the money to you to help out the family，but I think Mrs.Smith made a mistake." She continued. "I'm going to give it back to her."
Dad settled his big hand on her shoulder. "You just gave us the best gift，Anna." Mom kissed her. "We're proud of you，sweetheart."

1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右：
