It was the last figure skating competition for this season. Our team must beat every other team to enter the state competition.
Skaters were practicing all over the ice. Suddenly my teammate Danielle knocked her head hard on the ice and cried loudly, then she was carried out of the rink (冰场) and sent to hospital.
“Allison,” Coach Janice came up to me, “Danielle can’t 13 today. So I need you to do the axel（前外一周半跳）.”
“Coach,” I couldn’t even think of words, “I only 14 it for the first time three weeks ago! ”
“I know, but you’re the only one besides Danielle who can do it.” At that moment, the weight of the world was on my shoulders. The axel is a high point jump, and it can make or break a team’s 15 . I couldn’t be the one to stop us from going to states. But I would be, I knew it.
My teammates were all very 16 . They all came up, smiled and told me I would do great. But that only made me more nervous.
It was my turn. Ready or not, I had to go. I built up some speed and jumped, hoping I would land 17 . But I didn’t. I fell on the ice, hard. I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks.
“Allison, take the reskate,” the coach came to me.
Once, and only once in a competition, a team can have one skater skate again. It was still early, and someone else would need the chance later. I couldn’t use it, since I might fall again and 18 it.
“I can’t, Coach!”
“Allison, you can do it. Calm down, jump high, and land it. Go!”
So I went. I raised an arm towards the judges, letting them know I was going to take the reskate. The audience got into complete 19 . It seemed that everybody was holding their breath. I tried to focus. I took off and rotated（旋转）my body as much as possible in the air. Then I came down, landing on my feet. I did it! My teammates screamed with 20 .
Finally, our team won! We were going to states! Landing that axel made me feel like I could do anything, and who knows, maybe I could. 13. A. run B. hear C. enjoy D. compete 14. A. taught B. landed C. moved D. checked 15. A. rules B. score C. manners D. style 16. A. shy B. bored C. supportive D. brave 17. A. quietly B. quickly C. heavily D. beautifully

三、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，
选择最佳选项。（共26分，每小题2分）
A Global warming is happening all around us. This experiment helps you learn how a greenhouse works, and how greenhouse gases influence the earth’s atmosphere (大气). What You Need:
? Two thermometers ? A notebook ? A pencil or pen ? A clear container ? A watch or clock ? A sunny area
What You Do:
1. Put the thermometers in direct sunlight. Let them sit in the sun for three minutes.
2. Draw two columns (栏), “Thermometer A” and “Thermometer B”, in the notebook. 3. After the three minutes, read and record the time and temperatures in the notebook. 4. Place one of the thermometers in the container and close it tightly. 5. Record the temperatures of the thermometers every ten minutes. 6. Discuss how the container influences the temperature.
What’s Going On?
The temperature outside the container is changing, as the warm air mixes with the passing cooler air. The air inside the container can’t mix with the air outside — it just gets warmer as the sunlight heats it up. A greenhouse works in a similar way: sunlight creates heat that can’t get out of the glass.
21. What do you need in the experiment?
A. A dark room. B. A paper box. C. Some water. D. thermometers.
22. How often do you record the temperatures of the thermometers?
A. Every five minutes. B. Every ten minutes. C. Every fifteen minutes. 23. What can you learn from the experiment?
D. Every twenty minutes.
Two
A. When the glass breaks.
B. Why the sunlight is helpful. D. What the temperature changes.
C. How a greenhouse works.

The Photo Shoot
Jeremy looked across the hot grassy land. South Africa was a long way from his hometown in America.
“Ready?” Dad asked.
“Ready,” Jeremy answered. They climbed into the old truck. Jeremy hardly ever spent time with his father, a famous wildlife photographer. So far, he wasn’t sure whether he liked following his dad around. The job seemed hard and boring.
As the truck moved along the rough road, there was a big crash. The door had fallen off! “Now we can see better,” Dad laughed. Their guide Makalu threw the door into the back of the truck.
They stopped near a watering hole. Makalu said he was friends with the elephants that sometimes came here. Maybe they’d see some.
Before long, Jeremy saw a small group of elephants walk toward the water. Dad jumped out of the truck and focused his camera on the largest elephant.
Jeremy noticed a baby elephant walking between two adults. It was small, by elephant standards. Jeremy watched as they neared the water. The larger elephants walked into the water, showering themselves happily. They drew water into their trunks and shot it into the air. It was an elephant party. Then the baby elephant rushed in and water went up to its eyes. The water was too deep for it. The baby elephant was in trouble. It tried to climb out of the water, but the bank was too steep (陡峭的). Other elephants tried pushing the baby up, without success. The mother elephant shouted.
Jeremy took the broken door from the back of the truck. Makalu saw what Jeremy was planning and ran to help. Together they pulled the door down to the water. Makalu comforted the mother elephant, gently explaining that they were going to help her baby.
The mother knew Makalu and trusted him. Jeremy moved the door onto the bank. Its mother pushed from behind. The baby stepped onto the door and began to walk. Three more steps, and it was safe. The other elephants gathered around the baby, touching it with their trunks.
“Boy, Jeremy,” Dad said, “That was the most exciting photo I’ve ever taken! I’m glad you came along.”
24. At first, Jeremy thought his dad’s job was _______. A. busy but interesting B. hard and boring C. dangerous but exciting D. cool and relaxing 25. What was the trouble with the baby elephant? A. The truck knocked it down and hurt it. B. It couldn’t get out of the water by itself. C. Other elephants shot too much water onto it. D. It fell down and failed to stand up in the water. 26. Dad’s most exciting photo shows that ________.
A. the mother elephant was shouting for help B. many elephants were having fun at the party
C. Jeremy was saving the baby elephant in a clever way D. Makalu was having a water fight with the baby elephant

Lyme Disease — A Medical Mystery
In the autumn of 1975, lots of people in Lyme, Connecticut, suffered from a strange illness. Two doctors from Yale, Allan Steere and Stephen Malawista, began a study that would result in an important medical discovery.
The doctors began by having careful examinations of each patient. They found the patients of all ages were having a set of things hardly seen together, such as headaches, skin rashes (皮疹), swollen knees, fever, tiredness and so on. There was also a high rate of arthritis (关节炎), a painful condition around the knees. No reasons could be found through blood tests. However, they found the most useful information in the interviews with the patients: one quarter of them recalled a skin rash about four weeks before the arthritis appeared.
Then the Department of Health did surveys with the Yale doctors to learn where the disease was most widely seen. It seemed that most patients lived in heavily wooded areas, away from the center of town. Besides, most patients spent a good deal of time outdoors, gardening, camping, or playing. More importantly, some recalled having been bitten by a tick.
By 1977, researchers began to believe that the deer tick was responsible.
Then they discovered that a special type of bacteria (细菌), carried by the deer tick, was causing the disease. It was later named Lyme bacteria. The deer tick often feeds on deer. But we can also find it on mice. Scientists then concluded that the bacteria passed from wildlife to ticks to humans. All lived closely among one another in the area.
How could a disease break out so suddenly? Many areas of the northeast, including Lyme, Connecticut, were once farmland. Over the years, the farmland was replanted with trees. After the forest grew in, all kinds of wildlife appeared. At the same time, this area was developed with houses. Gradually, neighborhoods pushed deeper into the home of the wildlife. Humans became more likely to meet more ticks and get the disease.
After much research, the cause of Lyme disease was successfully identified (确认), thanks to the hard work of many scientists, doctors and patients. Today, more and more people have knowledge of Lyme disease, which is easily treated if caught early.
27. Which helped Dr. Steere and Dr. Malawista most? A. Having interviews with the patients. B. Examining the patients carefully. C. Separating the patients into age groups. D. Doing blood tests among the patients. 28. Which of the following is true about Lyme disease? A. Little is known about Lyme disease today.
B. Most of the patients lived in the center of town. C. More trees could keep people away from the disease. D. Wildlife spread the bacteria to ticks and then to humans. 29. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
