At 12, my father decided to take me a trip to France. I had never been out of the country before, so I was very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable attractions in Paris. None of us spoke much French but we loved the city.
We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our understanding of what is honestly a good subway design that is pretty easy to follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English.
We reached the end of the line and felt frightened when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his grandchild noticed us and came up to help. He spoke no English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then got on it with us.
Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer(换乘) and he didn’t want us to miss it. This kind man rode a train an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and shook our hands gently at the stop. Then with his quiet way, he got on the train to return the way he had come.

My high school life has been filled with many ups and downs, whether it was social or academic. Even though it was not my first choice, I never regretted attending Dragon Up High School. “Since you have chosen it, then it is the best for you,’’ said my parents.
Up until the junior year I did not perform well as a student, even though I had been told that my junior year would be the toughest in all the years of high school. With this “little” piece of information, I walked into my junior year, frightened of my grades. As weeks went by, I started to believe that the junior year was not as hard as everyone had said, but I was wrong. My grades were rapidly declining and by the end of the first term I did a terrible job. I could not believe it. I tried my best to get my grades up myself without any help from anyone, but my pride just made my grades worse. I was heartbroken. I realized that I could not survive my junior year on my own.
Fortunately, my English teacher Rey helped me a lot and gave me much courage and advice. I slowly started to gain my confidence back in all of my classes and even myself. By the time the third and fourth quarter came around, I had been on the honor roll twice, and I was receiving awards from speeches and debates, tennis and school.
Dragon Up has taught me to always keep my head up and never give up on myself no matter what life throws at me. I am proud to be a real dragon.
8. From the first paragraph, we can learn that ______.
A. the writer always thought Dragon Up High School was the best.
B. the writer’s parents persuaded her into attending Dragon Up High School.
C. the writer has met many challenges since she attended high school.
D. life has become easier since the writer came to Dragon Up High School.
9. How did the writer feel when she walked into her junior year
A. Confident B. Worried C. Curious D. Uninterested.
10. Why was the writer’s study worse and worse
A. She didn’t work hard enough. B. She didn’t ask others for help because of pride.
C. She missed her old friends. D. No one would like to help her.
11. What important lesson has the writer learned at Dragon Up High School
A. Students should face challenges bravely. B. Students should be careful in choosing school.
C. Students should be proud of their school. D. Students should better learn about life.
D
One of the crucial issues for mankind to solve before landing humans on Mars is that they must find usable water on the barren, reddish planet for the explorers to consume.
A recent finding by Chinese scientists based on data obtained by China’s Martian rover (探测器) Zhurong may have brought that goal closer to reality.
According to data obtained by the rover, they have identified hydrated (含水的) materials at Zhurong’s landing site in the southern part of an impact basin called Utopia Planitia. “These hydrated minerals are associated with bright-toned rocks and are interpreted to be duricrust (铝铁硅钙壳) developed locally. The duricrusts suggest that formation with substantial liquid water originates by either groundwater rising or subsurface ice melting,” reads a paper published in the newest issue of the scientific journal Science Advances.
Liu Yang, lead author of the paper, said their findings indicate that liquid water activities might have been more active than previously thought during the Amazonian Period, which began about 3 billion years ago and remains ongoing. “There is likely to be a large amount of usable water in hydrated minerals around the landing site of Zhurong as well as the vast areas in Mars' northern lowlands,” he added.
Zhurong is the core component (核心部分) of Tianwen-1, the country’s first inter-planetary mission, and is also the sixth rover on the Red Planet, following five from the United States. It is tasked with surveying Mars ’landforms, geological structures, soil characteristics, potential locations of water and ice, and atmospheric and environmental characteristics, as well as magnetic, gravitational and other physical fields.
As of Thursday, Zhurong has worked on Mars for nearly a year — far outliving its three-month life expectancy (预期寿命) and obtained a great deal of data, mission controllers said, adding it still has sufficient energy and is in good condition
12. What does the underlined words “that goal” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Collecting materials on Mars. B. Landing humans on Mars.
C. Obtaining consumable water on Mars. D. Testing Rover Zhurong on Mars.
13. What can we learn from duricrust
A. Mineral amount. B. Water source.
C. Planet developments. D. Soil characteristics.
14. Which statement may Liu Yang agree with
A. Abundant water is stored on Mars.
B. Landing site is the only water location.
C. Water activities began 3 billion years ago.
D. The findings indicate decrease of water formation.
15. What can we learn about Zhurong
A. It is the first rover on Mars. B. It can continue to serve on Mars.
C. It searches for minerals on Mars. D. It is expected to outlive 3 months.

With this “little” piece of information, I walked into my junior year, frightened of my grades. As weeks went by, I started to believe that the junior year was not as hard as everyone had said, but I was wrong. My grades were rapidly declining and by the end of the first term I did a terrible job. I could not believe it. I tried my best to get my grades up myself without any help from anyone, but my pride just made my grades worse. I was heartbroken. I realized that I could not survive my junior year on my own.
Fortunately, my English teacher Rey helped me a lot and gave me much courage and advice. I slowly started to gain my confidence back in all of my classes and even myself. By the time the third and fourth quarter came around, I had been on the honor roll twice, and I was receiving awards from speeches and debates, tennis and school.
Dragon Up has taught me to always keep my head up and never give up on myself no matter what life throws at me. I am proud to be a real dragon.

One of the crucial issues for mankind to solve before landing humans on Mars is that they must find usable water on the barren, reddish planet for the explorers to consume.
A recent finding by Chinese scientists based on data obtained by China’s Martian rover (探测器) Zhurong may have brought that goal closer to reality.
According to data obtained by the rover, they have identified hydrated (含水的) materials at Zhurong’s landing site in the southern part of an impact basin called Utopia Planitia. “These hydrated minerals are associated with bright-toned rocks and are interpreted to be duricrust (铝铁硅钙壳) developed locally. The duricrusts suggest that formation with substantial liquid water originates by either groundwater rising or subsurface ice melting,” reads a paper published in the newest issue of the scientific journal Science Advances.
Liu Yang, lead author of the paper, said their findings indicate that liquid water activities might have been more active than previously thought during the Amazonian Period, which began about 3 billion years ago and remains ongoing. “There is likely to be a large amount of usable water in hydrated minerals around the landing site of Zhurong as well as the vast areas in Mars' northern lowlands,” he added.
Zhurong is the core component (核心部分) of Tianwen-1, the country’s first inter-planetary mission, and is also the sixth rover on the Red Planet, following five from the United States. It is tasked with surveying Mars ’landforms, geological structures, soil characteristics, potential locations of water and ice, and atmospheric and environmental characteristics, as well as magnetic, gravitational and other physical fields.
As of Thursday, Zhurong has worked on Mars for nearly a year — far outliving its three-month life expectancy (预期寿命) and obtained a great deal of data, mission controllers said, adding it still has sufficient energy and is in good condition
12. What does the underlined words “that goal” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Collecting materials on Mars. B. Landing humans on Mars.
C. Obtaining consumable water on Mars. D. Testing Rover Zhurong on Mars.
13. What can we learn from duricrust
A. Mineral amount. B. Water source.
C. Planet developments. D. Soil characteristics.
14. Which statement may Liu Yang agree with
A. Abundant water is stored on Mars.
B. Landing site is the only water location.
C. Water activities began 3 billion years ago.
D. The findings indicate decrease of water formation.
15. What can we learn about Zhurong
A. It is the first rover on Mars. B. It can continue to serve on Mars.
C. It searches for minerals on Mars. D. It is expected to outlive 3 months.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
