When a fire broke out in my home in the middle of the night, I knew I'd do anything I could to save my family. The medicine that I take for my rheumatoid arthritis causes me to wake up inthe middle of the night with a dry mouth. January 15, 2016, was no different. I, Indiana, US, awoke at 2:30am needing water.
I was walking back upstairs from the kitchen when I heard my bulldog , Rock. Whatever Rock was doing down there, it made enough noise for me to go to him. By the time I made it to the bottom of the stairs, he was running up, and he never came up the stairs, no matter what. I think that was his way of telling me, \"We've got to go back up. \"When I got to the top of the stairs, I turned around and saw a light on, but I didn't remember leaving one on. I walked downstairs again, and that's when I saw fire. I immediately shouted to my wife to wake up and get our three kids. I grabbed a knife and cut out the plastic that covered the window to the porch roof. I then pried open the window and kicked out the screen. I started screaming for help. But help never came. I got everybody out on the roof and threw a blanket out there so we wouldn't slip off. It was cold, January cold. Then I started screaming for help. But help never came.
Now, I'm scared of heights and have physical issues, what with my rheumatoid arthritis, but I couldn't let my family burn up. So I jumped off the roof. I didn't scoot to the edge; I just jumped and got the wind knocked out of me when I landed. I found our ladder, placed it against the house, and climbed back up to the roof. I wrapped my arms around my daughter and carried my nine - month - old with my teeth, by his little sleeper. Then I climbed down the ladder. Once on the ground, I had my little girl hold her brother, and I went back up to the roof to get my other daughter. Then I went back up again and got my wife. I tried to get my dog, but he just disappeared in the black smoke. I never saw him alive again,
I'm no hero. I'm just an ordinary person who'd help anybody. This happened to be the time when I helped my own family. I live to protect my family. Just likeRock—he lived to protect us. 4. What made the author wake up at 2:30am?
A. My dog's barking B. The medicine's effect C. A burning fire D. A noise downstairs 5. How did Rock tell the author the danger downstairs? A. He turned on a light downstairs. B. He ran to the author's room upstairs. C. He kept barking and running up to stairs. D. He made some noise at the bottom of the stairs.
6. What did the author do after his family all stood on the roof? A. He placed a blanket to keep warm. B. He started screaming for help. C. He jumped off the roof.
D. He broke open the window and kicked out the screen 7. Which ofthe following best describe the author?
A. Courageous and responsible B. Caring and selfish C. Loyal and brave D. Strong and considerate
C
When the COVID-19 hit and supermarket shelves were empty, Chris Hall and Stefanny Lowey decided they no longer wanted to rely on others for food. The couple, who live on Pender Island in BritishColumbia, Canada, decided to start a year-long challenge where they wouldn't buy a single thing to eat. Instead they would grow, raise or catch everything—right down to sugar, salt and flour. Now, five months in, they say the challenge has changed their lives.
Chris, 38, said, “It has always been something that we have wanted to do. We have had a garden and grown vegetables for a long time already. When the COVID-19 hit, it gave us that extra push that we needed to do it. We were both out of work when we started, and with the reality check of grocery stores running out of items, it gave us even more motivation to see if we could look after ourselves.”
The pair spent the months before building a house for chickens, ducks and turkey as well as studying as much as possible to figure out where they would get all the things they needed. Chris adds, “We had to learn so many new things like how to grow mushrooms, process our Stevia plants, and harvest salt from the ocean. We spent a lot of time reading and studying online to figure out all the things we were going to need to do.”
Now after five months, they both feel its been going well but Chris admits the first few weeks were difficult.
“The first three weeks were very challenging as our bodies adjusted to cutting out coffee, wine and sugar all on the same day,” he says. “After three weeks our energy levels balanced out and our wishes reduced and now we feel great.” Now February has ended. As they come through winter, they feel positive about continuing with this way of living, with their challenge officially ending in August. 8. Why did the pair decide to produce foods on their own? A. They were isolated by Pender Island.
B. They couldn't afford to buy them because they were out of work. C. They believed it's good for their health. D. They could hardly buy them in shops.
9. Which words can be used to describe the couple? A. Rich and generous. B. Helpful and positive.
C. Optimistic and self-dependent. D. Motivated and brave. 10. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Their challenge may last about eleven months in total. B. They were discouraged by the difficulty at first. C. They had difficulty because they wanted more.
D. They couldn't adjust their bodies to the hard work after three weeks. 11. In which column may you read such a passage? A. Sports. B. Agriculture. C. Lifestyle. D. Business.
D
Saroo Brierley, a 4-year-old boy, livedin ruralIndia. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself alone. So he got on the train in front of him to search for his brother.
That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage (孤儿院), where he was adopted by an Australian family and taken to Tasmania.
Brierley is a famous writer now, and in his new book,A Long Way Home, he wrote he couldn’t help but wonder about his hometown back inIndia. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn’t know his town’s name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country seemed impossible.
Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s
satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town’s central business district from a bird’s-eye view. He thought, “On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station”—and there it was. “And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain”—and there it was. Everything matched!
Standing in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing at the entrance. It took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.
In an interview Brierley says, “My mother came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, my eyes filled with tears and my brain blank. I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her.” 12. Why did Brierley get on the train when he was a little boy? A. To go back to his home. B. To look for his brother. C. To travel toTasmania. D. To follow a stranger.
13. What made it difficult for Brierley to find his hometown? A. The vast area ofIndia.
B. The fact that he was nobody then. C. His not remembering the town’s name.
D. The distance betweenAustraliaand his hometown. 14. How did Brierley find his hometown? A. By studying digital maps. B. By analyzing old pictures. C. By travelling all aroundIndia. D. By spreading his story via his book. 15. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Love for Mother B. Union with Brother C. Memory of Hometown D. Long Way back Home

Last Sunday, I showed Tom, the friend from the USA, around the city. This was the first time that Tom visited
my hometown, and he found the trip excited. Early in the morning, I took her to the park near my home. He was astonished to seeing so many people doing exercise in the park. Then, we went to the museum which he learned a lot about the history of the city. After leaving the museum, we went downtown and found it was crowded with quite a lot of building.
On our way to home, Tom said he was really amazed by that he found. But he hoped that he would have chances to come here again. 第二节书面表达（满分25分）
52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jackson, now a successful architect in New York City, comes back to his father’s small wooden house that is on the island in the middle of the lake. Jackson is fond of fishing. And he often takes his son and daughters fishing in the same place, where he used to fish when he was a child. His children are addicted to the fishing joy, which reminds him of the day 34 years ago.
34 years ago, Jackson was 11 years old and lived with his family on an island in the middle of a lake in New Hampshire. On the day before the bass season opened, Jackson and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish. When his fishing rod doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end.
He very carefully lifted the fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass. The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, its gills playing back and forth in the moonlight. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened. He looked at the huge fish, then at the boy.
\"You'll have to put the fish back, son,\" he said. \"Dad!\" cried the boy.
“There will be other fish,\" said his father.
“Not as big as this one,” the boy cried and shouted.
He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father's voice clearly that the decision couldn't be changed.
The father patted him slightly on his shoulder and sincerely taught him,” My boy, rules are simple matters of right and wrong. It is the practice of rules that is difficult, but it's your choice.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 Jackson found himself in a difficult situation.
