Left Behind

Almost 300 years ago, a tall man raced along the island beach."Wait for me!"he cried. "I've changed my mind!"

The man was Alexander Selkirk. He was calling to a ship called the Cinque Ports, which

the island. He 13 his mind at the last second, when the ship

set sail. But it was too late. Now Selkirk was alone on an island

The next day Selkirk walked around the 14 ．There were caves

That island in the Pacific was Selkirk's home for more than four years. He kept 17 for someone to come and take him from the island.

Finally a British ship sailed to the island, and Selkirk was 18 and told his story. Newspapers told people about his adventure. One man who read about Selkirk was the writer Daniel Defoe. He then turned Selkirk's story into a 19 called The Strange and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. In the book, Robinson Crusoe lived the way Selkirk did, with one big 20. Crusoe had a friend, a man called Friday.

Today you can find the book about Robinson Crusoe in any library. Few books, however, tell the story of the" real" Robinson Crusoe-the man named Alexander Selkirk.

THE LIFE CYCLE

When you plant a seed, does it stay a seed forever? No! Plants and animals grow and change lives. Many plants begin as seeds. As the seed gets what it needs(water, sunlight, and nutrients from the soil),it begins to grow. The seed turns into a little. It keeps growing until it is a full-grown plant. Then the plant makes new seeds, so that new plants can grow even after the plant grows old and dies. Those seeds will then go through their growth process （过程）

again, it is called a life cycle. Animals also have life cycles. A frog begins as an egg.

When the egg hatches, it turns into a tadpole. The tadpoles grow legs and arms, and finally grow into adult frogs. The adult frogs lay eggs, so that new frogs can live even after the

frog grows old and dies. A dog's life cycle is a little different than a frog's, because

a dog does not start out as an egg. It is born from its mother's belly. The puppy keeps growing and is finally an adult dog. Then the adult dog might have puppies to continue the life cycle!

Insects like caterpillars go through life cycles, too. Caterpillars

begin as eggs. When they hatch, they are larvae. The caterpillar

becomes a pupa, and inside of the pupa it turns into an adult. The

adult is not a caterpillar; it is a butterfly! Then the butterfly lays

eggs, so that new caterpillars and butterflies can live even after the

butterfly grows old and dies. Plants and animals don't stay the same throughout their

lives, they grow and change through their life cycle.

24. What do plants begin as?

A. Seeds.

B. Eggs.

C. Plants.

D. Tadpoles.

25 .Which of the following lay eggs?

A. Tadpoles.

B. Puppies.

C. Butterflies.

D. Caterpillars.

26. Where's a butterfly when it turns into an adult?

A. In the water.

B. Inside of the pupa.

C. In the soil.

D. In its mother's belly.

Last week the electricity(power) in my flat went out. I had just got home from work and was happily making my tea, when suddenly I was surrounded by complete darkness. The lights had gone out, the oven

had stopped working and my phone was no longer charging. My flatmates and I tried to fix it but we soon realised that we couldn't. We would have to wait for an electrician to come in the morning. This left me a whole night without any electricity. I wasn't really sure what to do. My typical evening is spent watching the TV and scrolling through social media. Tonight this wasn't possible. We weren't prepared with candles and matches. I couldn't even read a book.

So for me it was an early night. And I couldn't help but think, do we Array depend on electricity too much? That night, losing our electricity

felt like losing a basic necessity-as basic as running water. But really ,

electricity is a luxury（奢侈）that we've grown to take for granted. I use

electricity all the time, even when it's not really necessary. I use it

to put the TV on in the background even when I'm not really watching

it. I use it to check my phone when I have to wait for even just a

minute, for example when waiting for friends. And as I'm writing this, I have my lights on, even in the middle of the day when I don't really need them.

Our over-use of electricity is a big problem. It contributes to something that we really should be worried about. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. Not only that, but if we continue to use the same large amount of energy we will soon run out.

How would we survive in a world without electricity? Our daily lives revolve around it. We wouldn't be able to function. Yet we know that, one day, we will run out. So, shouldn't we start preparing for it now? I know for sure that I could cut down on my use of electricity. And if everyone does the same, we can make a big difference.

27 .The writer after the electricity went out.

A. found someone to fix it with his flatmates

B. bought some candles and matches

C. could do nothing but wait for an electrician

D. tried to find out why the lights went out

28 .The writer thinks that

A. he makes full use of electricity

B. electricity is much more important than it was

C. electricity should not be as necessary as it has now become

D. the over-use of electricity leads to global warming

29. The writer's main purpose in writing this passage is_ .

A. to list some ways to save energy

B. to explain reasons for global warming

C. to share his personal experience of using electricity

D. to call on us to protect our environment by using less electricity

D

Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these

cars, and the technology is there-they just need to see if they're value for money ,work out insurance（保险）

So how do they work? The cars have sensors all around

which can detect other cars and obstacles in the road. Sensors

on the wheels also help when parking, so the car knows how far

it is from the outside of the road or other parked cars. Road

signs are read by cameras and satellite navigation systems are

used so the car knows how to get to your destination. All you

have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information it receives from the sensors and cameras and processes this to work out when to speed up, brake and go.

Sound like your idea of heaven? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while 'driving' would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going. In addition, computers are generally more efficient drivers than humans. They would also drive more safely than people-they are not influenced by music or friends, they would obey the speed limit and they have quicker reaction times in case of an emergency.

However, there are many disadvantages of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical（伦理学的）decisions ; if a child ran into the road , would the computer choose to hit the child or change the direction immediately and potentially kill the car's passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun-I'd miss never being behind the wheel myself. There would also be many legal decisions to be made-should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a responsible adult with a driving licence in the car at all times?

Although being driven around by a machine would perhaps mean that no one needs a driving licence, saving money for everyone, many people would be put out of a job when driverless cars appear. Bus, taxi and train drivers as well as driving instructors would be made unnecessary.

I'm not convinced I'd want a driverless car-but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and commonplace on our roads.

30. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A. How driverless cars work.

B. How a central computer system runs.

C. Ways in which the sensors help driverless cars.

D. The helpful system that driverless cars have.

31 . What can we know from the passage?

A. The writer is eager to have a driverless car.

B. Some problems won't be solved in the future.

C. Engineers are active in improving driverless cars.

D. More factors should be considered before driverless cars go on roads.

32. The underlined word "potentially" in Paragraph 4 means “”

A. possibly

B. successfully

C. especially

D. naturally

33 .Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Driverless Cars: Are You Ready for Them?

B. Driverless Cars: Are They Your Favorite?

C. Driverless Cars: A Model of New Technology

D. Driverless Cars: Just Enjoy Them

四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每题2分）

Which type of Christmas songs are the best

There are so many different parts to the Christmas period: jumpers, shopping, Christmas markets, decorations, songs. Without them, Christmas just wouldn't feel right. My personal

favourite part of the festive period is the songs. There are Array traditional songs, such as Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Ding Dong

Merrily on High and Good King Wenceslas, which you would

normally hear in church.

Then there are the pop songs from throughout the years.

Some of them have been recorded and re-recorded too many

times to count.

In fact, almost every year people argue about which versions

better. Eartha Kitt or Kylie Minogue's version of Santa Baby? What about Michael Bublévs Frank Sinatra and their versions of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas?The list goes on and on.

The most famous Christmas songs are undoubtedly the ones with a pleasant melody, talking about

being home for Christmas or how much they love Christmas. All of them are easy to remember. Have a

listen to Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea or I Wish It Could be Christmas Every Day by Wizzard.

Some songs highlight how much we want to be with the people we love at this time of year, such as Blue

Christmas by Elvis Presley, Lonely This Christmas by Mud or Leona Lewis' One More Sleep. The mainstream

songs are the ones you'll hear in shops as you do your Christmas shopping or in restaurants all over Britain.

The Christmas songs that I love to listen to are the ones that don't really make much sense. Sometimes

they take you back to childhood when you wouldn't be laughed at for asking Santa for a giraffe. And the rest

are just silly for the sake of it. My favourite silly Christmas songs are I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

by Kacey Musgraves, Never Do a Tango With an Eskimo by Alma Cogan and Proper Crimbo by Bo Selecta.

The absolute best Christmas song is definitely Fairytale of New York by The Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl.

It's not really Christmas until you've listened to that.

34. How many different parts of the Christmas period are there?

35 .Where can you hear traditional Christmas songs?

36. Do people argue about which versions of certain Christmas songs are better almost every year?

37 .What does the writer mainly talk about in the fourth paragraph?

38.Why does the writer love the songs that don't really make much sense?
