【題目】 I took my 9-year-old daughter, Susan and 5-year-old son, Robbie to the shopping center. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said, "Petting Zoo". The kids jumped up and asked, "Daddy, can we go?"

Both my wife and I were out of work. However；I said, "Sure", giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.

A petting zoo is made up of hundreds of little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure（圍場）pleased with the little animals while their parents shop.

A few minutes later, I saw Susan walking along behind me. I was surprised and asked what was wrong.

She said sadly, "Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter." Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto（座右銘）, which is "Love is Action!"

I knew clearly no one loves little animals more than Susan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say "Love is Action!" for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had become art of her, because she knew the whole family motto. It's not only "Love is Action", it's "Love is SACRIFICIAL（犧牲的）Action!" Love always pays a price.

I was moved. We went back to the Petting Zoo. Susan stood with her hands and chin（下巴）resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feeding the animals. I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!

【1】What is the best title for this passage?

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】B

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】

本文主要講述，9歲的女兒Susan為了讓5歲的弟弟Robbie在撫摸式動(dòng)物園多玩一會(huì)兒，把自己的那部分錢也給了他，失業(yè)中的父親很感動(dòng)，把僅剩的50美分給了Susan。他們都在踐行自己的完整家訓(xùn)——“愛是犧牲�！�

【1】標(biāo)題歸納題。文中Susan和“我”的行動(dòng)都在踐行完整家訓(xùn)“愛是犧牲”，用“Love Is Sacrificial Action!”做標(biāo)題最合適。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第2段中“Both my wife and I were out of work. … leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.”可知“我”和妻子都失業(yè)了，給了孩子們錢之后，口袋里僅剩50美分，家里應(yīng)該是過著艱苦的生活。故選A。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在語境“She had watched both my wife and me do and say “Love is Action!” for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had become part of her …”可知Susan把“愛是行動(dòng)”這個(gè)家訓(xùn)注入了自己的生活方式里，家訓(xùn)成了她的一部分，“It”指的是“the family motto”。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。Kind體貼的，慈祥的；Brave勇敢的；Honest誠實(shí)的。文中講述了9歲的Susan為了讓5歲的弟弟Robbie在撫摸式動(dòng)物園多玩一會(huì)兒，把自己的那部分錢也給了他，可知Susan很體貼弟弟，所以“kind”能很好的描述Susan。故選A。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!” 可知“我”要把錢給Susan讓她去撫摸式動(dòng)物園，由此可推斷Susan會(huì)和小動(dòng)物們快樂地玩耍。故選C。

【題目】 In the western Pacific Ocean lies the deepest place on the planet — the Mariana Trench, which runs as deep as about 7 miles below the ocean’s surface. That’s greater than the height of Mount Everest measuring about 5 and a half miles above sea level.

The Mariana Trench is home to a variety of sea life. Coral reefs and underwater volcanoes are all found there. But because few humans have been able to go far into the trench, scientists know little about it.

Now they are working to change that. Recently, the Okeanos Explorer has been on an exploration there. Remotely operated vehicles sent out from it are taking videos of life in its deepest, darkest areas. Scientists around the world, along with the general public, can watch the videos in real time. These videos are showing the most mysterious parts of the ocean. Much of the area that the Okeanos Explorer is exploring has been protected since 2009 as part of the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument. Covering more than 95,000 square miles, it is one of the world’s largest marine protected areas.

It’s very dark, so the animals must use many other senses other than sight to understand their surroundings, find food and escape from enemies. The water is also very cold — slightly above freezing — and its pressure is extremely high. That means only certain animals can live there, like shrimp, crabs, and starfish.

So far, the expedition’s cameras have filmed a variety of rarely seen deep-sea creatures, including ghost sharks, huge lobsters, and sea pigs. Perhaps the most amazing sight is beautiful red jellyfish that scientists have never seen before.

Scientists hope this expedition will help them unlock the mysteries of the Mariana Trench. They’ll learn about the deep-sea animals and plants found there. They’ll also study its unique features, including underwater mountains, mud volcanoes, and hot springs produced by the volcanoes.

They say that this knowledge will also help scientists better understand how the deepest part of the ocean affects the rest of the world. "The ocean plays a role in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the transportation of the goods we buy — not to mention the weather and climate change," a scientist said. "The deep sea may also hold cures for diseases. How will we know what is out there if we aren’t looking into it?"

【1】What do we know about the Mariana Trench from the text?

A.Sea life can hardly be found there.

B.It has never been explored by humans.

C.It’s the world’s largest marine protected area.

D.It’s lively even as the deepest place in the world.

【2】What does the author want to say in Paragraph 4?

A.Living conditions are tough there.

B.The surroundings make animals much stronger.

C.Animals there are slow in reacting to potential threats.

D.Animals’ sight is severely damaged by high water pressure.

【3】What is implied in the scientist’s words in the last paragraph?

A.He feels proud of what they have done for humans.

B.It’s worthwhile to take effort to explore the Mariana Trench.

C.Scientists should spend more time studying the oceanic climate.

D.There’re many challenges for the scientists to explore the ocean.

【4】What is the best title for this text?

A.The Most Mysterious Ocean

B.A Special Experiment on the Ocean

C.Searching for Precious Animals

D.Exploring the Deep Sea
