The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn't understand what he needed.Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people and she knew she'd be able to finger spell into the man's palm.

Cook asked for some water.When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while."He didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk," Clara said.So for the next hour, she talked about her family and her plans for the future. Cook told Clara how he had become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn't see her, she "looked attentively at his face with such kindness," a passenger reported."Clara was amazing," an air hostess told Alaska Airlines in an interview. "You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such an angel."Cook's reply: "Best trip I've ever had."(1)What was the air hostesses' problem?A.They had a very difficult passenger.B.They couldn't understand the passenger.C.They didn't know the passenger's name.(2)Why did Clara Daly believe she could help?A.Because she happened to learn some ASL.B.ecause she had helped people like Cook.C.Because she thought she might know Cook.(3)Into which did Clara Daly finger spell with Tim Cook?A.

He went to school in a small city near London. As he himself admitted, he wasn't serious about studying. He did very little work; he was never top of his class. However, he still achieve good marks. After leaving school, Hawking first went to Oxford University to study physics. Then he went to Cambridge University to study cosmology(宇宙学).At the age of 21, Hawking noticed something wrong with him. He had a bad illness that stopped him from moving and talking. He couldn't communicate except by blinking. He sat on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate with others, he moved two fingers to control the computer's mouse. He chose his words from the screen, which were then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音响合成器). "I've had the disease for most of my life," Hawking once said. "Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work."Although Hawking was a disabled man, he made great achievements. He received many awards and prizes for his work, including the Albert Einstein Award—the highest achievement in physics.Hawking worked at Cambridge University as a professor. His story shows that nobody, no matter how bad their situation is, they shouldn't lose hope. "Life is not fair," he once said. "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."(1)When did Stephen Hawking pass away?A.On January 8th, 1942. B.On March 14th, 2018. C.On March 24th, 2018.(2)During studying in a small city near London, we know that ______.A.Stephen Hawking was the best student of his classB.Stephen Hawking didn't work hard at his lessonsC.Stephen Hawking began to study cosmology(3)What happened to Stephen Hawking when he was 21?A.There was something wrong with his head.B.He couldn't even blink to communicate except by moving fingers.C.He could neither talk nor move.(4)How did Stephen Hawking communicate with others after the bad illness?A.By mouth. B.y body language. C.By a voice synthesizer.(5)Why was Stephen Hawking so successful at his work?A.Because he never lost hope in his own condition.B.ecause life was not fair to him.C.Because he had a bad illness.What was discovered by accident? The answer is penicillin(青霉素). It kills germs. By killing germs, it saves lives. Suppose you are sick. You go to a doctor. She examines you. She says you have a "staph" infection(葡萄球菌感染). She gives you some medicine. You take it. The medicine knocks out the staph. Soon you are well. Before penicillin, this would not happen. Staph was almost sure death.Everyone wanted a medicine. Laboratories worked day and night. They grew the staph in small dishes. Then they tried to kill it. Nothing worked.The laboratory dishes had covers on them. They kept things from falling into dishes. Molds(霉菌)were a big worry. They are always in the air. You can't see them. They're too small. There are thousands of different molds. Molds can make an experiment(实验)fail. That's why dishes are covered.Dr. Alexander Fleming was working to kill the staph germ. He worked for years. One day he took a cover off a dish. He looked inside. There was a thick growth of staph germ. There was also some mold. Then he saw something strange. Where the mold was, there was no growth of staph. This is what Fleming probably thought. "By accident, I found a mold to kill the dreaded staph."This is how penicillin was found. But here's the real miracle(奇迹). There are thousands of kinds of molds. But only one kind can kill staph. The mold must have fallen into the dish a few days before. The cover was probably off only a few seconds(秒). In those few seconds the right mold fell into the right dish. Another man might have thrown the dish away. But Fleming was very careful and smart. He understood what the mold did. How lucky the humans were!(1)During the experiments to find a medicine for staph infections, ______.A.the dishes were not coveredB.staph was grown in small dishesC.mold was kept in small dishes(2)The word "dreaded" means "______".A.endangered B.scary C.healthy(3)The last paragraph suggests that ______.A.luck is enough when doing scientific experimentsB.the careful person does not have accidentsC.the careless person will miss valuable chances(4)Most of this passage is written by ______.A.telling an unusual storyB.showing the results of experimentsC.offering some reasons(5)This passage is mainly about ______.A.Dr. Fleming's research B.useful accidents C.discovering penicillin根据上下文内容,将文中画线部分译成汉语或者英语。Many parents like setting family rules for their kids. When kids break rules, parents will give them some punishments, which aren't included in rules.(1)In fact, you should talk with them about the price they should pay for breaking the rule. That is what punishment will be. Punishments you set should be reasonable, without violence or threat(威胁). For example, if you find your son smoking, you may limit(限制)his social activities for two weeks. You should punish your kids only in ways you have discussed before the rule is broken.(2)A study shows that the most popular punishment is to limit kids' TV or computer time. It's understandable that you'll be angry when rules are broken. Punishment is a way to express your anger, but it's not a very good one.(3)最好的方式是和你的孩子分享你的感受。Try to do that. When your kids know what they done has made you angry, they will feel guilty(内疚的).(4)When they know their actions make you unhappy, they will follow the rules better. So parents should always communicate with children.(5)我们制定家规是为了帮助孩子成长。If your rules or ways of punishment make them unhappy or under a lot of pressure, are they helpful?阅读下面的材料,然后根据材料内容回答问题。I am Canadian. I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a 17-year-old girl, I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French-speaking host family, who didn't speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school.On the first day of school, all of us students were given a test to determine(测定)our language level. We were required to speak only French all summer.I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn't understand most of it at the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European-style buildings, and learned some stories there.Finally my efforts paid off. At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn't wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully immersed(沉浸)in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.(1)Where does the writer come from? _____(2)When did the writer fly alone for the first time? _____(3)How did the local school determine the students' language level? _____(4)What did the writer think of the visit to historic Quebec City? _____(5)Why do you think the writer could improvement in French? _____
