Yesterday I went to the nursing home to visit my grandma. She just got out of the hospital recently where she had some serious operations. I wanted to surprise her after work so I stopped by for a quick visit.

When I got there she was happy to see me. We hugged，kissed and exchanged greetings. Then I heard a woman crying. It was my grandma's roommate. The curtain was drawn so I could not see her. She started calling out a name that wasn't mine but she was certainly talking to me，begging me to go to her side of the room.

I ignored her at first and continued visiting with my grandma. Then she started begging and saying，“Please，come to see me！”So I went to see her.

When I drew the curtain back she looked so old but flashed me the biggest smile! She opened her arms wide for me to hug her so I bent low and gave her a hug. I sat on her bed and talked with her for a few minutes. She kept calling me by the other name but I did not correct her. She told me stories as if I had been there when they happened.

Finally I went back to talk with my grandma. Then the other woman started crying again，saying，“Please，come back.”She finally slept.

I stopped by the nurse's station and the nurse told me that the lady suffers from Alzheimer's. I mentioned the name she had called me. The nursetold me it was the lady's daughter's name. Then I understood why she wanted me to go to talk with her.

Stages of Hurricane: Simple Storms Grow Into Giants

A storm progresses through four different stages before it is actually considered a hurricane. First is a tropical disturbance (热带扰动), which has thunderstorms and rotating (旋转) winds. Next is a tropical depression (热带低气压), which is similar to a tropical disturbance, but has winds between 23 and 39 miles per hour. A tropical storm is the next level, which has stronger wind speeds between 40and 73 miles per hour. Once winds reach 74 miles per hour the storm is officially called a hurricane. The wind picks up energy from the warm surface ocean water.

As a hurricane crosses over land, it begins to become weaker or break apart and reduce in strength. This is because it is no longer over the warm ocean water that it needs for energy. At this point, a hurricane can still cause a lot of damage because of high winds, rain, and flooding. But unless it makes its way back over the open ocean, it is downgraded from a hurricane back to a tropical storm. What’s Your Name, Hurricane? Hurricanes and tropical storms are given names to help people

recognize them. Scientists refer to hurricanes and storms by name as they track them across the ocean.

Before 1953, hurricanes were not given official names. From 1953 through 1978, hurricanes were only given female names, like Isabel, Camille, Claudette, and Wilma. Beginning in 1979, hurricanes were given the names of both women and men. Today, the names alternate male and female, and they are named in order of letters.

For example, in 2010, storms were named as follows: Alex (male), Bonnie (female), Colin (male), Danielle (female), Earl (male) and so on…

There are six different lists of names that change, so the same names are used every six years. The only way that a new name is added is when a hurricane has been particularly deadly or costly and the name is retired, then replaced with a new one.

28．Which of the following is the right order of stages of a hurricane?

A．Tropical depression, tropical disturbance, tropical storm, hurricane

B．Tropical disturbance, tropical depression, tropical storm, hurricane

C．Tropical storm, tropical depression, tropical disturbance, hurricane

D．Tropical storm, tropical disturbance, tropical depression, hurricane

29．What happens when a hurricane crosses over land?

A．It breaks apart and forms tornadoes. B．It becomes less powerful.

C．It moves more quickly. D．It returns to the ocean afterwards.

30．The underlined word “alternate” in paragraph 4 means “____”.

A．come from B．carry on

C．take turns between D．cause trouble to

31．What do we know about the hurricanes?

A．Six common hurricane names are often used.

B．An old name will be replaced every year.

C．Most of them are deadly and costly.

D．They didn’t have official names until 1953.

The unusual whistle language used as a means of communication by villagers in the remote and mountainous northern Turkey has been added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The language is a highly developed high-pitch system of whistling to communicate in rugged（崎

岖的）areas where people mostly cannot see each other. It can allow people to communicate across great distances, up to 5 kilometers. Compared with other simil ar whistle languages in Spain’s Canary Islands, in Mexico, or in Greek villages, it has a higher tone and larger vocabulary.

This unusual form of communication, which dates some 500 years ago, to the Ottoman Empire, was born from sheer necessity and widespread across the Black Sea regions.

But 50 years ago, it suffered the impact of the progression of technology and nowadays the rapid growth of cellular mobile systems has put this cultural heritage under serious threat.

For centuries, the language has been passed on from grandparent to parent, from parent to child. Now, though, many of its most skilful speakers who use their tongue, teeth and fingers are aging all becoming physically weak. Young people are no longer interested in learning the language or in finding ways to update its vocabulary with new words, and in a few generations it may be gone for good.

“Our bird language is very convenient and efficient to communicate across the valleys. It has many benefits over yelling, which is bad for our throats.” said Avni Kocek, head of the bird village adding that despite setbacks because of technology, “Bird language is still used by many of us. Whistle language is transmitted from our elders to us and we have the duty to transmit it to our children. We are making efforts to keep our culture alive through the annual Bird Language Festival.”

Besides, the bird language has been required to be taught at primary schools since 2014 by district authorities in order to instil（逐步实施）the practice in younger generations.

32．What is the bird language’s advantage over other similar whistle languages?

A．It is used as a means of communication.

B．It can send more messages to farther places.

C．It is older and has a larger number of users.

D．It is a completely different system of whistling.

33．What’s the biggest threat to the bird language?

A．Other whistle languages are more effectively protected.

B．Many of its most skilful speakers are growing old.

C．The need to use it in everyday life is disappearing.

D．Young people find it too difficult to learn well enough.

34．What’s the most effective measure so far taken to protect the bird language?

A．It has become a subject at primary schools.

B．Bird Language Festival is celebrated every month.

C．Cellular mobile systems are not allowed in the area.

D．All parents are required to transmit it to their children.

35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．The Disappearance of Bird Language

B．The Story of a Bird Language Speaker

C．Celebrating the Bird Language Festival

D．Preserving the Endangered Bird language

第五部分书面表达（20分）

Dear Mr. Xu,

I am more than delighted to have you as our English teacher.

As we know, nowadays English is widely used in the modern world. More and more people are hot for learning English, which shows English is playing an important part in our daily life.

My English is not very good and the two main problems in my study are that I feel it difficult to learn words by heart, and that I often feel nervous when speaking English. I really hope that you can give me some good advice on how to memorize new words. Besides, would you please give us more chances to practice speaking English? I believe we can make much progress in English with your help.

Yours,

Li Hua

Good morning to you all —parents, students and my fellow teachers. Thank you for coming along to say goodbye. I know we all have to retire sooner or later, but it does feel like a sad occasion to me, because I have had so many happy years at this school. It feels like just yesterday that I was leaving my previous job to join this school. My last 25 years’working for this school have passed so quickly. Perhaps it is because I have been in such a good school. From the 12-year-olds in the first year, to those who are now 18 and ready to leave for university or a job, I have enjoyed working with you all. I can honestly say that getting this job was like winning a prize. I have met some amazing, wise people —star students, great friends. But perhaps most important of all, it was here that I met the man I would later marry, and who will soon be joining me in retirement.
