My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety.
Still, the firefighter’s first words “You need to come up here to the Stillwater River” made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: “Your son is OK.”
When I got to the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.
I hurried over to him. “You OK?” I asked
“Yeah,” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation. I didn’t get it from my son, however who tends to play his cards close to his vest.
The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.
In an age in which the word “hero” is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who made it through the day,, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that didn’t mean they have no desire to do good.
Still shocked by my son’s daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him---- but he had precious little to say. The only words he said were, “What’s for supper?”
I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep.
10. Why did the mother allow her son to swim there?
A.He was an excellent swimmer B. The water of the river is shallow.
C.He was old enough to swim D. The rocks can be of help if there’s danger
11. The underlined part “who tends to play his cards close to his vest” probably means ____.
A. Anton is a boy fond of swimming with other kids
B. Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks
C. Anton always has a desire to help others
D. Anton seldom changes his mind
10. In the mother’s eyes, what her son did was _______.
A.dangerous but interesting B. meaningful but difficult
C.unexpected and courageous D. awful and absurd
11. What might be the best title for the passage?
A.My Son, My Hero B. Anton, A Silent Boy
C.A Good Deed D. A Proud Mother
B
The Cuban iguana is a species of lizard(蜥蜴) of the iguana family. It is the largest of the West Indian rock iguanas, one of the most endangered groups of lizards. This species with red eyes and a thick tail is one of largest lizards in the Caribbean.
The Cuban iguana is primarily herbivorous; 95% of its diet consists of the leaves, flowers and fruits from as many as 30 plant species, including the seaside rock bush and various greases. However, Cuban iguanas occasionally consume animal matter, and individuals have been observed eating the dead flesh of birds, fish and crags. The researchers wrote that quite a few people on Isla Magueyes could have caused this incident.
The Cuban iguana is distributed throughout the rocky southern coastal areas of mainland Cuba and its surrounding islands with a wild population booming on Isla Magueyes, Puerto Rico. It is also found on the Cayman Islands of Little Cayman and Cayman and Cayman Brac, where a separate subspecies occurs. Females guard their nest sites and often nest in sites half destroyed by Cuban crocodiles. To avoid the attack from them, the Cuban iguana often makes its home within or near prickly-pear cacti(仙人掌).
In general the species is in decline, more quickly on the mainland than on the outlying islands. One of the reasons for their decline if habitat destruction caused by the overconsuming of farm animals, housing development, and the building of tourist resorts on the beaches where the animals prefer to build their nests. Although the wild populations is in decline, the numbers of iguanas have been sharply increased as a result of captive-breading (圈养) and other conservation programs.
10. The underlined word “herbivorous” (paragraph2) probably means_______.
A. dangerous B. gentle C. plant-eating D flesh-eating
11. Why does the Cuban iguana build its next near prickly-pear cacti?
A.To keep itself cool B. To get the food easily
B.To stay away from people D. To avoid crocodiles’ attack
12. How many reasons are mentioned for the habitat destruction?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
13. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To give us a brief introduction to the Cuban iguana
B. To show he is concerned about the Cuban iguana.
C. To explain reasons for the Cuban iguana’s decline.
D. To draw people’s attention to the endangered Cuban iguana.
C
Preparations are underway around the world for Chinese New Year (Feb19) and celebrations in China will be mirrored across the planet wherever the Chinese Diaspora(华侨) calls home. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.
London
Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns(灯笼), previous years have seen shows with acrobatics(杂技)， martial arts (武术), dance and opera nearby.
San Francisco
San Francisco ‘s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.
Bangkok
With a more than 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.
Mauritius
Found in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional lion dances through the streets.
10. According to the text, which of the following has the longest history?
A.London’s Chinatown B. Bangkok’s Chinatown
C.San Francisco ‘s Chinatown D. Mauritian’s Chinatown
11. What’s special about Bangkok’s Chinatown?
A. It is well-known for its gold business.
B. It is crowded with Chinese restaurants.
C. It was the major entrance for the Chinese

D
“A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website." This is the definition of a word in the Oxford English Dictionary. Do you know which one?
That is right. It is: “ selfie”.
In fact, it wasn't even in the dictionary until August of 2013. It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对……痴迷) selfies ─ we take them
when we try on a new hat, play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven't seen in a while.
But you might sometimes wonder, does this obsession actually make sense? is there any scientific explanation for it? Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist(神经系统科学家) at University College London.
Through our lifetimes we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people's faces and facial expressions. In contrast, according to Kilner, we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them ─ we just feel them most of the time.
This has been proved in previous studies, in which participants were shown images of themselves and asked to match their facial expressions in the pictures. In most cases, they failed to accurately produce the same facial expressions without being able to see themselves in the mirror, according to the BBC.
To further test how we actually perceive our own faces, Kilner carried out another study, He showed people different versions of their own portrait(肖像) ─ the original, one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive ─ and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them. Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are.
But what does it say about selfies? Well, isn't that obvious? Selfies give us the power to create a photograph ─ by taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters (滤镜) and so on ─ that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.
"You suddenly have control in a way that you don't have in non-virtual(非虚拟的) interactions," Kilner told the Canada-based CTV News. Selfies allow you "to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with" , he explained.
32.What is the passage mainly about?
A. The definition and fun of taking selfies.
B. A study of why people love taking selfies.
C. How taking selfies influences people's daily lives.
D. How to interpret people's facial expressions in their selfies.
33.The underlined word "perceive" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by "______".
A. interpret B. beautify C. view D. ignore
34.What did Kilner discover from his researcher?
A. People tend to spend more time looking at their faces than at others'.
B. People tend to believe they look more attractive than they actually are.
C. People interpret others' facial expressions worse than their own.
D. People who like taking selfies tend to know more about their facial expressions.
35.According to Kilner, people like taking selfies probably because they think ______.
A. it is a good chance to learn more about their actual faces
B. it enables them to interact with their friends in social media
C. it allows them to satisfy their expectations with their appearances
D. it is a way to respond to others' facial expressions correctly

Li Hua,
It’s time to say goodbye. It’s time to recall those beautiful days we spend together. You are the very person who gives me a hand when necessary. You are the most considerate person who knows exactly what I need.
Still remember that night two years ago? When I suddenly fell ill, it was you who carried me on your back to a nearby hospital. You took good care of me while I was having an injection. Later, you managed to help me with my lessons. Without your help, I would have failed in the examination.
Still have hundreds of stories to share with you. I still have thousands of blessings for you. May all your dreams come true! May our friendship last till the end of the universe!
