Last night’s meteor(流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valley’s mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead. “My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to

make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointments.” Astronomers---scientists who study stars and planets----have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.
There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats frogs snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association. “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”
Countless more animals casualties(伤亡）result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer.
Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff,Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night. 41.It happened last night that .
A.the city’s lights affected the meteor watching B.the meteors flew past before being noticed C.the city light show attracted many people D.the meteor watching ended up a social outing 42.What do the astronomers complain about?
A.Meteor showers occur less often than before B.Their observation equipment is in poor repair C.Light pollution has remained unsolved for years D.Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting 43.What the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?
A.Birds may take other migration paths B.Animals’ living habits may change suddenly
6
C.Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced D.Animals’survival is threatened by outdoor lighting
44.Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to _____.
A. lessen the chance of getting cancer B. create an ideal observation condition C. ensure citizens a good sleep at night D. enable all creatures to live in harmony 45.What message does the author most want to give us?
A. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves B. Great efforts should be made to save energy
C. Human activities should be environmentally friendly D. New equipment should be introduced for space study C.
Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life that by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But I as quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy,restless kids who hates confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.
Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast,stopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
But then Banner,our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me.
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through.We took the country roads out of necessity.We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him.The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized,smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads,catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother,or fish leaping out
7
of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(见识).
We eventually arrived at my parents’doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section of road,everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car,ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight.But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey----and the best part of yourself.
46.Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents’ home?
A.It was less time
B.It would be faster and safer C.Her kids would feel less confined D.She felt better with other drivers nearby
47.The author stopped regularly on the country roads to
A.relax in the fresh air B.take a dep breath C.take care of the lamb D.let the kids play with Banner
48.What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?
A.Freeways are where beauty hides.
B.Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life C.Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one’s health D.One should follow side roads to watch wild animals
49.Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?
A.To give herself some time to read B.To order some food for them C.To play a game with them. D.To let them cool down
50.What could be the best title for the passage?
8
A.Charm of the Detour B.The Road to Bravery
C.Creativity out of Necessity D.Road trip and Country Life D.
When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.
For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的).
In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.
In adulthood the things that bring deep joy----love, marriage, birth----also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的) My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health. I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home,I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.
We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have. We’ve so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier
Happiness isn’t about what happens to us----it’s about how we see what happens to us. It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It’s not wishing
9
for what we don’t have, but enjoying what we do possess. 51.As people grow older, they _____.
A. feel it harder to experience happiness B. associate their happiness less with others C. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness D. tend to believe responsibility means happiness 52.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?
A. She cares little about her own health B. She enjoys the freedom of traveling
C. She is easily pleased by things in daily life D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework 53.What can b informed from Paragraph 7?
A. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness B. Psychologists’opinion is well proved by Grandma’case C. Grandma often found time for social gatherings D. Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life 54.People who equal happiness with wealth and success _____.
A. consider pressure something blocking their way B. stress then right to happiness too much C. are at a loss to make correct choices D. are more likely to be happy 55.What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative B. Each man is the master of his own fate C. Success leads to happiness D. Happy is he who is content 四、阅读表达
My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye: NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover(火星探测器).Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind, Curiosity. I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon,
10
I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind...”
Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.
On August 5,2012,at 10:31 p.m, the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars,and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.
Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars, Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas,but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space. People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mares. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon. 56.How did Clara get the new about the essay contest?( no more than 10 words) 57.Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA?( no more than 10 words)
58.What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma?( no more than 15 words) 59.What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean?(1 word)
60.In your opinion, why is curiosity important?( no more than 20 words) 五、书面表达

考试高分秘诀是什么？试试这四个方法，特别是中考和高考生
谁都想在考试中取得优异的成绩，但要想取得优异的成绩，除了要掌握好相关的知识定理和方法技巧之外，更要学会一些考试技巧。因为一份试卷的题型有选择题、填空题和解答题，题目的难易程度不等，再加上时间的限制，更需要考生运用考试技巧去合理安排时间进行考试，这样才能获得一个优异的成绩。
在每次考试结束之后，我们总会发现这样有趣的情形：有的学生能超常发挥，考个好成绩，而有的学生却出现粗心大意的状况，令人惋惜。有的学生会说这是“运气”的原因，其实更深次的角度来说，这是说明考试准备不足，如知识掌握不扎实或是考试技巧不熟练等，这些正是考前需要调整的重点。
读书学习终究离不开考试，像中考和高考更是重中之重，影响着很多人的一生，下面就推荐一些与考试有关的方法技巧，希望能帮助大家提高考试成绩。 一是学会合理定位考试成绩
你能在一份卷子当中考几分，很大程度上取决于你对知识定理的掌握和熟练程度。像最后一道选择题和填空题，以及最后两道大题，如果你没有很大把握一次性完成，就要先学会暂时“放一放”，把那些简单题和中等题先解决，再回过头去解决剩下的难题。
13
因此，在考试来临之前，每位考生必须对自身有一个清晰的了解，面对考试内容，自己处于什么样的知识水平，进而应采取什么样的考试方式，这样才能帮助自己顺利完成考试，获得理想的成绩。
像压轴题的最后一个小题总是比较难，目的是提高考试的区分度，但是一般只有4分左右，很多考生都可以把前面两小题都做对，特别是第一小题。 二是认真审题，理清题意
每次考试结束后，很多考生都会发现很多明明自己会做的题目都解错了，非常可惜。做错的原因让人既气愤又无奈，如算错、看错、抄错等，其中审题不仔细是大部分的通病。
要想把题目做对，首先就要学会把题目看懂看明白，认真审题这是最基本的学习素养。像数学考试，就一定要看清楚，如“两圆相切”，就包括外切和内切，缺一不可；ABC是等腰三角形，就要搞清楚哪两条是腰；二次函数与坐标轴存在交点，就要分清楚x轴和y轴；或是在考试过程中遇到熟悉的题目，绝不可掉以轻心，因为熟悉并不代表一模一样。 三是要活用草稿纸
有时候真的很奇怪，有些学生一场考试下来，几乎可以不用草稿纸，但最终成绩也并不一定见得有多好。不过，我们查看这些学生试卷的时候，上面密密麻麻写了一堆，原来都把试卷当草稿纸，只不过没几个人能看得懂。
考试时间是有限，要想在有限的时间内取得优异的成绩，就必须提高解题速度，这没错，但很多人的解题速度是靠牺牲解题步骤、审清题意等必要环节之上。就像草稿纸，很多学生认为这是在浪费时间，要么不用，要么在打草稿时太潦草，匆忙抄到试卷上时又看错了，这样的毛病难以在考试时发现。
在解题过程后果，我们应该在试卷上列出详细的步骤，不要跳步，需要用到草稿纸的地方一定要用草稿纸。只有认真踏实地完成每步运算，假以时日，就能提高解题速度。
大家一定要记住一点：只要你把每个会做的题目做对，分数自然就会高。 四是学会沉着应对考试
无论是谁，面对考试都会有不同程度的紧张情绪，这很正常，没什么好大惊小怪，偏偏有的学生会把这些情绪放大，出现焦躁不安，甚至是失眠的负面情况，非常可惜。
14
就像在考试过程中，遇到难题这也很正常，此时的你更应不慌不躁，冷静应对在考试，有些题目难免一时会想不出解题思路，千万记住不要钻牛角尖，可以暂时先放一放，不妨先换一个题目做做，等一会儿往往就会豁然开朗了。
考试，特别像中考和高考这样大型的重要考试，一定要相信一点，那就是所有试题包含的知识定理、能力要求都在考纲范围内，不要有过多的思想负担。
考试遇到难题，容易让人心烦意乱，我们不要急于一时，别总想一口气吃掉整个题目，可以先做一个小题，后面的思路就慢慢理顺了。
