12．（8 分）It was an amazing feeling to be acknowledged for the Pride of Britain award at No 10
Downing Street．
The last thing you expect when doing something as ordinary as picking your son up from a
sleepover is to end up saving three people's lives in a plane crash ﹣ but that's exactly what happened
to me in May this year．
I think I was acting unconsciously． I jumped out， leaving Giacomo in the car．
The plane was upside down and flames were coming out of the driver's seat and I could hear
screaming． I think there must have been roughly half a minute between getting the first and last person
out． Then another guy﹣ who turned out to be Joel Snarr ─ arrived on the scene to help at just the
right time． I don't think I'd have been able to get the pilot out ﹣he was a big guy． There is no way
he would have survived if Joel hadn't been there ． I could tell straight away Joel had a military
background by how he conducted himself．We'd just got all three of them to a safe distance when the
aircraft was completely swallowed by the flames．
Giacomo and I stared at each other， almost laughing in relief．
The emergency services arrived pretty quickly， and we were at the scene for a couple of hours
while they dealt with the fire and cleared the roads． Afterwards I spoke to the family， and that was
the first time the emotion of the whole thing hit me． I kept randomly bursting into tears．第 3 页（共 11 页）
Thankfully， Stuart Moore， the pilot， and his nephew and niece Jack Moore． 19， and Billie
Manley， 16， have all since made a full recovery． Jack and Billie were suffering a lot more than I
was． Although they were safe， the memory of being inside that burning plane would have been more
of an emotional scar．

13．（8 分）While the idea of living on the moon was once a thing of science fiction， several space
agencies including NASA and Roscosmos are racing to make it a reality． Now， one scientist has
revealed what he thinks the lunar cities could look like in the next 150 years， in a project named
"Moontopia"．
Professor Lewis Dartnell， a science communication expert at the University of Westminster has 第 4 页（共 11 页）
teamed up with Hillarys to bring his vision to light ． He said ： "As our understanding of space
advances， the opportunity to start a new world becomes ever more possible． Moving home or to
another country is already incredibly exciting， imagine what it would be like to move to an entirely
different environment． The challenges and problems would be new and hard but the mind boggles at
what the human race could achieve if we take this next step．
Professor Dartnell predicts that homes in Moontopia will be built in lava tubes， and that settlers
will travel around using bikes or on foot． Moontopia would also include an airlock that would keep the
city pressurized， meaning people could walk around freely with spacesuits． The lunar city could
have a lakes， parks and basketball courts．
While this sounds pretty great so far， if you're used to eating what you want， when you want it
， living in． Moontopia could be a struggle． Other key challenges would include adapting to the
temperatures on the Moon． In direct sunlight， the moon can reach up to 100˚C， while at night
temperatures can drop to ﹣170˚C! Thankfully， the temperature inside lava tubes would be easily
controlled．
While Professor Dartnell's vision is merely based on predictions， lunar cities could become a
reality in the not﹣so﹣distant future． In 2016， Russia announced plans to build a human settlement
on the Moon by 2030， while NASA plans to establish a lunar outpost in 2028．
（1）What do we know about Moontopia from the text？
A． Moontopia is a project about doing research on the moon．
B． People can choose whatever to eat in Moontopia．
C． People can travel freely in Moontopia．
D． Moontopia will be challenging to live in．
（2）What conclusion can we draw from the text？
A． It is extremely cold in Moontopia．
B． Living on the moon is on its way．
C． Professor Dartnell carried out the research alone．
D． NASA has built a lunar settlement earlier than Russia．
（3）What does the underlined words "the mind boggles at" probably mean？ 第 5 页（共 11 页）
A． We may be worried about．
B． We may be puzzled at．
C． We may hesitate about．
D． We may be amazed at．
（4）What is the main idea of the text？
A． Finding out whether lunar cities can exist．
B． Exploring the weather condition on the moon．
C． Predicting what lunar cities will be like．
D． Offering the opportunity to move to the moon．
14．（8 分）Researchers found brushing your teeth three or more times per day is linked with lower risk
of heart failure and atrial fibrillation ─a heart condition that causes an irregular and often abnormally
fast heart rate．
One possible theory behind the discovery is that frequent tooth brushing reduces bacteria living in
the pocket between the teeth and gums， preventing it from entering the bloodstream． Existing studies
show poor oral hygiene （口腔卫生） leads to bacteria in the blood， causing inflammation （炎症
） in the body Inflammation increases the risks of irregular heartbeat and heart failure， where the
heart's ability to pump blood or relax and fill with blood is weakened．
In their new research， scientists in South Korea examined the connection between oral hygiene and
occurrence of these two conditions in a series of studies of more than 161， 000 participants aged
between 40 and 79．
Participants underwent a routine medical examination between 2003 and 2004 and information
was collected on height， weight， laboratory tests， illnesses， lifestyle， oral health， and oral
hygiene behaviors ． During a follow ﹣ up of ten and a half years on average ， three percent of
participants developed atrial fibrillation and around five percent developed heart failure．
The lead investigator of the new study is Tae─Jin Song， a doctor and professor at Mokdong
Hospital at Ewha Womans University in Seoul， South Korea， said："We studied a large group over
a long period， which adds strength to our findings． But he also noted that the analysis was limited to
one country and as an observational study does not prove causation．
An accompanying editorial states： "It is certainly too early to recommend tooth brushing for the
prevention of atrial fibrillation and congestive heart failure． While the role of inflammation in the 第 6 页（共 11 页）
occurrence of heart and blood vessels' disease is becoming more and more evident， further studies are
needed to explain strategies of public health importance．"
（1）Which is true about frequent tooth brushing？
A． It reduces the risk of heart failure．
B． It promotes the heart beat faster．
C． It rids the bloodstream of bacteria．
D． It weakens the hearts' ability to pump blood．
（2）What does the underlined part "these two conditions" in paragraph 3 refer to？
A． Inflammation and bacteria．
B． Heart failure and atrial fibrillation．
C． Oral hygiene and occurrence of heart failure．
D． The heart's ability to pump blood or relax and fill with blood．
（3）It can be inferred that the outcome of the research ．
A． is discouraging．
B． has its limit．
C． has its variety．
D． is unexpected．
（4）From which is this text probably taken？
A． A magazine．
B． A diary．
C． A guidebook．
D． A novel．

Why You Should Always Store Apples in the Fridge
To fridge or not to fridge ？ Have you discovered what foods you should take out of your
refrigerator and what unexpected items you should store there？ （1）
Apples require a little bit of coolness in order to stay fresh in storage for a longer period of time． 第 7 页（共 11 页）
Cool temperatures alone are often enough to keep your apples fresh for weeks． Keeping apples in a
basket in your kitchen is a good visual reminder to get your doctor﹣recommended one a day． As it
turns out， though， storing apples on your countertop could cause them to go bad weeks sooner than
if you put them in the fridge．
（2） But if you refrigerate them， they can stay fresh for one or two months． That's
essential for reducing food waste， which is why sellers in the United Kingdom are now required to
add a refrigerator icon to the packaging of foods， like apples that should be kept cold．
（3） Apples should be kept as cold as possible without freezing them． Ideally， you should
store them at temperatures that range from 31 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit． Apples start to freeze at about
29 degrees Fahrenheit．
（4） The freshness drawer of your refrigerator． Keep in mind， though， that you shouldn't
store your apples along with other produce． Apples give off ethylene （乙烯）， which can cause
other fruits and vegetables to spoil．
If you're not planning on eating all your apples within a few weeks， you might want to consider the
variety you buy．（5） Also， for some reason， the sourer apples store longer than the sweeter
apples．
A． How cold？
B． How to store apples？
C． Let's take apples for example first．
D． Once apples are ripe， they easily go bad．
E． So what's the best place to store your apples？
F． Usually， at room temperature， apples last about a week．
G． The smaller the apple， and the thicker the skin， generally the longer it will store．

happened to be out． So I am writing to offer you some advices on how to attend to the plant．
The orchid， a symbol of a real gentleman， which is a kind of flower popular among Chinese．

doesn't need too many water， so don't water them too often， or its roots will rot． Cut off dead
leaves in time， especial those damaged by worms．
I sincerely hope this potted orchid can bring you joy， health and happy．
Yours，
Lily
