“You’re going to be alone on the farm this weekend,” my father said as though that was no big deal. “I expect you to take care of it.”

When Dr. Carrico arrived, he felt around her neck ______ the situation. He told me to get him two boards. Finally, Loretta swallowed (咽下) the apple. Loretta, was now free to breathe.

“Did your dad leave you to see about things?” asked Dr. Carrico. “Yes, sir.” “Well, it’s not easy. ______________, you know when to call for help.”

I thought about not telling my dad about what had happened, but _________ that stupid idea in a hurry, since he was not a man you kept things from. After I told him, he didn’t seem to react much, just kept saying, “Hmm, I see.” a lot. I guessed he was very___ in me.

【題目】 Flights are often canceled for many different reasons, including snow, clouds, or even a bird getting caught in an airplane’s engine (發(fā)動機(jī)). But you’d never think that too much sunshine would stop a plane from taking off.

Unluckily for passengers in Phoenix, US this summer, their travel plans went dead when more than 40 flights in and out of the local airport were cancelled after temperatures went as high as 48°C. This is the highest temperature that many smaller planes are allowed to fly at.

So what is it that makes flying in great heat so dangerous? The answer lies in how “thick”, the air is.

“As air warms up, it expands (膨脹), and there’s fewer molecules (分子) under your wings,” Lou McNally, a professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in the US, told the Associated Press (AP).

When the temperature is high and the air becomes thin, “you need more of everything. You need more thrust (推力) to take off. You need more distance to take off. You need more distance to land. It gets to a point for some aircraft that it gets just too much,” McNally explained.

The US’ Southwest, where Phoenix is located, is experiencing an unexpectedly hot summer. This June was its third-hottest on record. According to The Guardian, up to 10 people are thought to have died as a result of the hot weather.

The unexpected heat attacked airlines(航空公司) too, causing them to cancel all flights running on smaller planes for the safety of their passengers.

But what about cities whose temperatures are high every summer?

Many airlines in hot Gulf countries such as the United Arab Emirates make many flights at night or in the early morning to avoid the problem of thin air, according to AP. They also mainly use larger planes, which are able to fly in greater heat than smaller planes.

After the temperature in Phoenix continued to climb over 40°C all through the rest of the summer, maybe now would be a good time for airlines to buy bigger planes in time for next year’s heat wave.

【1】When the weather is too hot, ______.

A.planes are more likely to break down

B.planes need more power and distance to take off

C.there is much more air under the wings of a plane

D.it takes less time for planes to take off and land

【2】How do airlines in Gulf countries deal with high temperatures?

A.They make many flights at midday.

B.They mainly use small planes.

C.They build long runways for planes.

D.They make fewer flights at midday.

【3】What’s the article mainly about?

A.Flight accidents caused by great heat.

B.Perfect flying conditions for aircraft.

C.How dangerous the flights are in hot weather.

D.How hot weather influences flights.

【題目】 I recently had the chance to go to my first ever music festival. We Love Green was held over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, this was a green festival!From the food to the stalls(貨攤), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible.

Notonly was the majority of the furniture /stalls /toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to throw rubbish in specially marked dustbins which, after the festival, were sorted so all of the waste could be recycled. Fresh water was made available freely to everyone so that guests were not encouraged to buy drinks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.I found the experience extremely fun but also really interesting.

Having never been to amusic festival before, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic (有機(jī)的) fruit juice. There were many stalls, art installations( 設(shè) 施 ), and different areas, meaning there was something there for everyone, from small children to the elderly!

This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun and interesting, that doesn’t cause great damage to the environment. I have discovered that there are more events similar to this across the globe, which is great! I can’t imagine how much waste has been produced from such public events as festivals before we realized just how bad they were for the environment!

【1】What does the underlined word “boasted” in the first paragraph refers to ?

A.擁有B.吹噓

C.支持D.擁護(hù)

【2】What is special about the music festival?

A.It has a special band.B.It has a unique program list.

C.It is held every weekend.D.It is environmentally friendly.

【3】At the music festival, what were the guests encouraged to do?

A.Make furniture from wood.B.Bring plastic-bottled drinks.

C.Recycle rubbish by themselves.D.Drink free fresh water.

【4】What do you learn about the author from Paragraph3?

C.He found the event very funny.D.He liked listening to music at home.

【5】What is the aim of this passage?

【題目】 "The hound（獵狗）! "cries Holmes. "Come, Watson! Come.

We run quickly over the moor. We hear one last cry. A man is lying on the ground. As we came closer we see the dead body of Sir Henry Baskerville. He is wearing his brown suit.

"Oh, no! " says Holmes, This man has a beard（胡須）! "

Indeed Selden is dead instead of Sir Henry.

So it is all clear to me. I remember that Sir Henry gave his old suit to Barrymore, and Barrymore probably gave it to Selden- his wife’s brother.

"Then Selden is dead because of this suit, ” says Holmes.

"Think. Watson! Someone gives the hound some of Sir Henry’s clothes -probably the boot from the hotel in London. The hound picks up Sir Henry’s scent and runs after this poor man. "

Suddenly we see Stapleton walking towards us. He says, "There was a strange noise. I was worried about Sir Henry. I wanted to check if he was all right. "

"Really? " asks Holmes

Stapleton looks at Holmes. "Why, it is Mr Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective! Can you solve the mystery of the Hound of the Baskervilles? "

Holmes shrugs his shoulders. "We cannot solve every mystery. Anyway I return to London tomorrow. "

"Oh, do you return to London tomorrow? "

"Yes. "

So Holmes and I walk off to Baskerville Hall and Stapleton to his home.

Holmes thinks Stapleton is dangerous. But we have no proof（證據(jù)）that Stapleton is the murderer.

"There are no marks on Sir Charles's body. We know that he is died of fright （恐嚇）, but we can't prove anything. "

"Things are becoming clear to me, " Holmes says to Sir Henry. "It’s a very difficult case. And you must help me to catch this hound. "

We are surprised to see one painting of a thin man is Sir Hugo, the first victim of the Hound of the Baskervilles. And he's like both Sir Henry and Stapleton. " Stapleton is a Baskerville, "replies Holmes. " So he wants to inherit (繼承) the Baskerville fortune , and he. . . , " I say. It’s an important clues.

【1】The underlined word “scent” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.

A.taste.B.boot.C.suit.D.smell.

【2】We can infer(推斷) from the passage that ______ .

A.Sir Henry tells Holmes that Stapleton is a Baskerville.

B.Stapleton wants to murder Sir Henry indeed.

C.Watson finds out that Selden is Mrs Stapleton’s brother.

D.Stapleton kills Selden by frightening him with the hound.

【3】Which of the following is True according to the passage?

A.Holmes and Watson think Mr Barrymore murders Selden.

B.One painting of Sir Hugo gives Sherlock of Stapleton one night

C.Holmes and Watson find the dead body of Stapleton on the moor one night.

D.Holmes tells Stapleton that he and Watson are going back to London.
