　　Dearest darling girl,

　　Today is the beginning of the next stage in your life. We head off to your new home at Stanford. Where do I start in telling you how proud I feel to be called Mummy by you? We've laughed at how you burst into this world with a scowl on your face, how determined you have always been right from feeding ! yourself to making big decisions for your life. There were days during your illness that I wasn't sure you had the will to make it. Telling you that you needed to want to get better was the hardest and yet the greatest day. From that day you took responsibility and decided you wanted to beat anorexia（厌食症）．

　　I don't think I've ever felt so proud of you as when you came home to say that you wanted to go to West Africa between school and university. You chose to go alone, and to raise the money yourself. You have such strength of character and determination. It is at times hard to believe that you are only 18. You experienced something in that month that few dare experience in a lifetime.

　　So, Viv, here are my words of wisdom to you as you start your next big adventure. The world is a beautiful place but often a few things can make it seem difficult. God's temple is made of love. It's man's temple that is built of stones. Open your heart to goodness and never ever let negative people or thoughts take hold of you. As Minor Myers put it, "Go into the world and do we’ll. But more importantly, go into the world and do good:'

　　It is true that with every passing day, I will grow older and weaker. A day may come when I will become forgetful. But even then, you with your bright smile, will light up my heart.

　　Your Alo

　　25. What can be learned from the first paragraph?

　　A. She was once a trouble maker.

　　B

　　She's a freshman in Stanford.

　　C. She relies on her parents a lot.

　　D. She was defeated by anorexia.

　　26. Why did Viv go to West Africa?

　　A. To do what others dare not.

　　B. To show her determination.

　　C. To get money for school fees.

　　D. To go on an adventure by herself.

　　27. What is Alo's advice for Viv?

　　A. To be a positive and kind person.

　　B. To avoid the negative part of life.

　　C. To be cautious of cold-hearted people.

　　D. To explore the beauty of the world.

　　28. How did the author feel when writing the letter?

　　B. Pleased and satisfied.

　　C. Cheerful and relieved.

　　D. Concerned and anxious.

　　Life may have evolved on at least three planets within a newly discovered solar system 39 light years from Earth. Astronomers at the NASA have discovered no less than seven roughly Earth-sized worlds orbiting a dwarf star in the system. Scientists had previously identified a tiny number of "exoplanets", which are believed to have the qualities needed to support life. However, the new system contains an unprecedented(前所未有) number of Earth-sized, probably rocky planets, and is being acknowledged as an "accelerated leap forward" in the search for

　　extraterrestrial (外星球的)life.

　　Three of the new planets are said to be particularly promising because there might exist oceans. Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA, told a press conference in Washington: "This gives us a hint that finding a second Earth is not a matter of 'if', but 'when'."

　　The planets were discovered using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, which was able to track how fast each of the planets crossed the star Trappist-l and completed an orbit. From this the

　　research team calculated how far the planets were from their star, and therefore how likely they are to be habitable.

　　NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is already being used to search for atmospheres around the planets. Future telescopes, including the proposed European Extremely Large Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope, may be powerful enough to discover markers of life, such as oxygen in the atmospheres of exoplanets.

　　Astronomers believe there could be as many as 40 billion potentially habitable worlds in our

　　galaxy, the Milky Way. Prof Zurbuchen said that now was a "gold-rush phase" in the search for

　　these exoplanets.

　　29. What makes the new discovery significant?

　　A. Ample markers of life

　　B. The potential to support life.

　　C. Great distance from Earth.

　　D. The search for extraterrestrial life.

　　30. What helps explore atmospheres around the exoplanets?

　　A. Spitzer Space Telescope.

　　B. Hubble Space Telescope.

　　C. European Extremely Large Telescope.

　　D. James Webb Space Telescope.

　　31. What may be the best title for the text7

　　A. New Solar System Found

　　B. Second Earth Discovered

　　C. Why to Explore Outer Space

　　D. Gold-Rush Stage to Come

　　D

　　Why do we read poetry? First obvious one: because we enjoy it. The only other reason is for

　　academic purposes, and that's not why this is here.

　　Many of us read poetry simply because we often feel depressed and hopelessly lost, and in poetry we see how beautiful and strange everything is. So in that way poetry calms our anxiety.

　　There are many different kinds of poems. They are not all calming. Some poems make me anxious, angry, scared, and sad, which is why I value them

　　As a reader, I want a full meal, not just dessert. I want the sweet and the bitter. Often, I read poetry when I'm already relaxed. In fact, I read more when I'm not stressed out.

　　Here are the main reasons I respond to poetry, as far as I can tell. Metrical(格律的) poems are about setting up rules and then bending them. Usually. this is done by setting up a rhythm and then violating it or almost violating it. And then returning to Lt again. This satisfies my desire for order and also my desire for testing boundaries:

　　Poetry plays with language and often slams words together in surprising ways. which is thrilling the way food can be when the chef has paired ingredients you never thought would taste good together but somehow do.

　　Many poems are dense. Words mean two or three things at once and lots of suggestions are packed between the lines. This is intellectually inspiring and it allows me to read the same poem over and over always finding new things in it

　　And, of course, there's the subject matter. It interests me just as it would if the same subject was explored in a story or essay. Not all poems interest me in this way, but then not all stories and essays do, either.

　　32. What kind of poems does the author probably enjoy reading?

　　A Academic poems.

　　B Valuable poems.

　　C. Poems that calm readers down.

　　D Poems that arouse feelings.

　　33. What does the underlined word "it" in Paraglaph4 refer to?

　　A. Setting up a rhythm

　　B. Poetry.

　　C. Violating rules

　　D. Rhythm.

　　34. Why does poetry appeal to the author'?

　　A. It plays with words.

　　B It sounds surprising

　　C. It

　　is rich in meaning.

　　D It is filled with new ideas.

　　35. What can we infer from the text?

　　A The author doesn't like all the essays.

　　B Reading poems requires patience.

　　C. The subject counts a lot to the author.

　　D. Writing poems is similar to cooking.

　　Dear Mr. Green,

　　With World Water Day around the corner, our school is planning a series of activities. I'm writing to invite

　　you to give us a lecture on the topic of wastewater disposal and utilization.

　　The lecture will be held in our School Hall from 4:00 t0 5:30 0n the afternoon of March 19. We hope it can

　　arouse students' awareness of water crisis as well as develop the habit of water recycling. If everyone can make

　　I would be grateful if you could accept my invitation. I'm looking forward to your early reply.

　　Yours,

　　Lihua
