I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect something of myself.
On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even when my electricity was cut off and I woke up at 5:30 am to pitch blackness, I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have had me closer to my goal. Even poverty could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to cold email about 50 Harvard students so I could ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.
Every day I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow

D. He consulted his teacher when facing problems.
6. Which can best describe the author’s character

The sun rises above the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋). Across the frozen sea, a white bear moves slowly.
The bear stops and sways his head from side to side. There is nothing to see but endless ice and red sky. Then his powerful nose senses what his eyes cannot: a beluga whale is nearby.
The bear follows the smell and spots a large hole in the ice where a small white whale is swimming. He silently walks toward the hole, then stops, standing still. The whale does not see the bear, whose white fur makes him appear invisible against the ice.
Finally, the whale swims close to where the bear is waiting. With terrifying speed, the bear comes to life and moves toward the whale. In a moment it is over, and the bear eats his first meal in nearly a week.
Polar bears rule the frozen sea, but their ancestors weren’t always built for ice and snow. The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears. They came to the icy north over a hundred thousand years ago.
No one knows for sure why these bears traveled to such a cold place. Scientists think they might have wandered north looking for food. Maybe they became trapped by glaciers and couldn’t leave. Whatever the reason, the bears never should have survived.
But they did. They got used to their new environment. Their bodies changed. Their behavior changed, too. Eventually, the bears developed into an entirely new species: the polar bear. You can see some of the characteristics that polar bears developed to survive.
Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bear’s survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore. They are poor hunters on land, which means they often go a long time between meals. The polar bear, king of the Arctic, is now classified as a threatened species.
Although the future of the polar bear is unknown, the tale of two bears continues. As temperatures rise, grizzly bears have been spotted moving north into polar bear territory. These long -lost cousins, once forced apart by nature, are coming back together again.
8. What can be inferred about the white bear mentioned in the first four paragraphs
A. It is noisy. B. It is smelly.
C. It is starving. D. It has good eyesight.
9. What do we know about polar bears’ ancestors
A. They were a darker- colored species.
B. They were born to live in ice and snow.
C. They had no trouble getting used to the icy north.
D. They came to the Arctic Ocean about 1,000 years ago.
10. Why are polar bears struggling to survive
A. They are losing their hunting ground.
B. They are threatened by other animals.
C. They are spending little time on land.
D. They have difficulty reaching the shore.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The climate change
B. The polar bear’s favorite meal
C. The dark past of the polar bear
D. The mysteries of the Arctic Ocean
D
Coogle’s parent company is winding down a project that used high-lying balloons to provide Internet services to hard-to-reach areas of the world.
The project, known as Loon, started in 2011. It was managed by Alphabet Inc. It aimed to bring connectivity to areas of the world where ground-based cell towers (手机信号塔) were too expensive or too difficult to set up.
But Loon was unable to reduce costs enough to make its business model run, the project’ s leader, Alastair Westgarth, said in a blog post. “While we’ve found a number of willing partners along the way, we haven’t found a way to get the costs low enough to build a long-term, competitive business,” Westgarh said.
Loon’s shutdown isn’t surprising, economists said.
Loon’s technology sent gas-filled balloons the size of tennis courts into the air. They usually stay at heights of around 60,000 to 75,000 feet. There, onboard communications equipment sent Internet signals back down to earth. The system was able to offer mobile coverage to an area 200 times larger than a traditional ground-based cell tower. However, a carrier would need several balloons at once, each would cost tens of thousands of dollars and last only about five months.
Alphabet wasn’t alone in running projects aimed at offering Internet connection to hard-to-reach panies such as Amazon. com Inc. and Elon Musk’s SpaceX have been making efforts to provide Internet connection in such places, using satellites in near Earth orbit.
Over the last few years, Loon’s technology has proved successful in some suffering communities. In 2017, the project sent balloons into the skies above Puerto Rico after a terrible hurricane damaged the island’s communications facilities. Two years later, soon after a 7. 8 earthquake struck parts of Peru, Loon’s balloons began to provide the locals with mobile connectivity.
Rich Devaul, a founder of the project, said the need for mobile connectivity was rapidly rising recently. This made cell towers more cost-effective than he had expected ten years ago, reducing the need for Loon, “The problem got solved faster than we thought,” he said in an interview.
12. Why is Alphabet shutting down Loon
A Many local communities disliked the project.
B. It was too costly to continue the project.
C. The technology was no longer advanced.
D. It was too difficult to sot up the systems,
13. How does the author introduce Loon’s technology in paragraph 5
A. By describing difficulties in using it.
B. By providing research results about it.
C. By explaining is advantages and disadvantages.
D. By showing its differences from traditional ones.
14. What can we learn about the technology of Loon
A. It helped areas hit by natural disasters.
B. It suited the need of developed countries,
C. It was unable to work in terrible weather.
D. It was less elective than traditional systen9.
15. What was unexpected for Rich Devaul
A. Communications problems became worse.
B. Cell towers became more economical in a short time.
C. Other companies would run similar projects
D. The Internet connections were getting faster.

____20____ On a wall in Khufu's Great Pyramid, for example, a group of workers wrote Friends of Khufu. “It's because they were not just building the tomb of their king,” says Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass. “They were building Egypt. It was a national project, and everyone was a part.”

Of course, there were days when I just wanted to throw all of the string in the trash and use tape (胶带) instead; this sense of defeat was never ____31____, but remarks like “Oh, you must be ____32____” from impatient customers made me angry and determined to try even harder.
Gradually I began to realize that I should not be ____33____ if it takes me longer to learn. I kept on, and I continued to tie boxes every weekend at work.

I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect something of myself.
On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even when my electricity was cut off and I woke up at 5:30 am to pitch blackness, I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have had me closer to my goal. Even poverty could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to cold email about 50 Harvard students so I could ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.
Every day I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow

C
The sun rises above the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋). Across the frozen sea, a white bear moves slowly.
The bear stops and sways his head from side to side. There is nothing to see but endless ice and red sky. Then his powerful nose senses what his eyes cannot: a beluga whale is nearby.
The bear follows the smell and spots a large hole in the ice where a small white whale is swimming. He silently walks toward the hole, then stops, standing still. The whale does not see the bear, whose white fur makes him appear invisible against the ice.
Finally, the whale swims close to where the bear is waiting. With terrifying speed, the bear comes to life and moves toward the whale. In a moment it is over, and the bear eats his first meal in nearly a week.
Polar bears rule the frozen sea, but their ancestors weren’t always built for ice and snow. The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears. They came to the icy north over a hundred thousand years ago.
No one knows for sure why these bears traveled to such a cold place. Scientists think they might have wandered north looking for food. Maybe they became trapped by glaciers and couldn’t leave. Whatever the reason, the bears never should have survived.
But they did. They got used to their new environment. Their bodies changed. Their behavior changed, too. Eventually, the bears developed into an entirely new species: the polar bear. You can see some of the characteristics that polar bears developed to survive.
Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bear’s survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore. They are poor hunters on land, which means they often go a long time between meals. The polar bear, king of the Arctic, is now classified as a threatened species.
Although the future of the polar bear is unknown, the tale of two bears continues. As temperatures rise, grizzly bears have been spotted moving north into polar bear territory. These long -lost cousins, once forced apart by nature, are coming back together again.
8. What can be inferred about the white bear mentioned in the first four paragraphs
A. It is noisy. B. It is smelly.
C. It is starving. D. It has good eyesight.
9. What do we know about polar bears’ ancestors
A. They were a darker- colored species.
B. They were born to live in ice and snow.
C. They had no trouble getting used to the icy north.
D. They came to the Arctic Ocean about 1,000 years ago.
10. Why are polar bears struggling to survive
A. They are losing their hunting ground.
B. They are threatened by other animals.
C. They are spending little time on land.
D. They have difficulty reaching the shore.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The climate change
B. The polar bear’s favorite meal
C. The dark past of the polar bear
D. The mysteries of the Arctic Ocean
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文说明了北极熊的祖先为适应环境而不断改变自身特征，而现在的这些特征却让北极熊陷入困境。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In a moment it is over, and the bear eats his first meal in nearly a week. (过了一会儿，一切都结束了，熊吃了近一周来的第一顿饭)”可知，白熊吃了近一周来才吃第一顿饭，可见它非常饥饿。因此，关于前四段提到的白熊，可以推断C项“It is starving.(它快饿死了)”符合题意，故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Polar bears rule the frozen sea, but their ancestors weren’t always built for ice and snow. The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears. (北极熊统治着冰冻的海洋，但它们的祖先并不总是为冰雪而生。最早的北极熊是棕熊，包括灰熊)”可知，最早的北极熊不是白熊，是棕熊，包括灰熊，颜色要深一些。因此，我们对北极熊的祖先A项“They were a darker colored species.(它们是一种颜色较深的物种)”符合题意，故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bear’s survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore. (可悲的是，这些特征现在可能威胁到北极熊的生存。由于全球变暖，海冰融化，北极熊经常被迫上岸)”可知，随着气候变暖，北极熊可以狩猎的冰面范围在逐渐消失，使它们面临生存威胁。因此，北极熊挣扎着生存的原因是A项“They are losing their hunting ground.(他们正在失去猎场)”符合题意，故选A项。
11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第五段“The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears. (最早的北极熊是棕熊，包括灰熊)”和第六段“No one knows for sure why these bears traveled to such a cold place. Scientists think they might have wandered north looking for food(没有人确切知道为什么这些熊会来到如此寒冷的地方。科学家们认为他们可能向北游荡寻找食物)”和最后一段“Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bear’s survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore. (可悲的是，这些特征现在可能威胁到北极熊的生存。由于全球变暖，海冰融化，北极熊经常被迫上岸)”可知，北极熊的祖先颜色更暗，它们可能为了寻找食物而来到北极，为适应环境而不断改变自身特征，由于全球变暖，海冰融化，北极熊面临生存威胁，文章暗含北极熊误入北极的黑暗的过去。因此，文本的最佳标题是C项“The dark past of the polar bear(北极熊的黑暗过去)”符合题意，故选C项。
D
Coogle’s parent company is winding down a project that used high-lying balloons to provide Internet services to hard-to-reach areas of the world.
The project, known as Loon, started in 2011. It was managed by Alphabet Inc. It aimed to bring connectivity to areas of the world where ground-based cell towers (手机信号塔) were too expensive or too difficult to set up.
But Loon was unable to reduce costs enough to make its business model run, the project’ s leader, Alastair Westgarth, said in a blog post. “While we’ve found a number of willing partners along the way, we haven’t found a way to get the costs low enough to build a long-term, competitive business,” Westgarh said.
Loon’s shutdown isn’t surprising, economists said.
Loon’s technology sent gas-filled balloons the size of tennis courts into the air. They usually stay at heights of around 60,000 to 75,000 feet. There, onboard communications equipment sent Internet signals back down to earth. The system was able to offer mobile coverage to an area 200 times larger than a traditional ground-based cell tower. However, a carrier would need several balloons at once, each would cost tens of thousands of dollars and last only about five months.
Alphabet wasn’t alone in running projects aimed at offering Internet connection to hard-to-reach panies such as Amazon. com Inc. and Elon Musk’s SpaceX have been making efforts to provide Internet connection in such places, using satellites in near Earth orbit.
Over the last few years, Loon’s technology has proved successful in some suffering communities. In 2017, the project sent balloons into the skies above Puerto Rico after a terrible hurricane damaged the island’s communications facilities. Two years later, soon after a 7. 8 earthquake struck parts of Peru, Loon’s balloons began to provide the locals with mobile connectivity.
Rich Devaul, a founder of the project, said the need for mobile connectivity was rapidly rising recently. This made cell towers more cost-effective than he had expected ten years ago, reducing the need for Loon, “The problem got solved faster than we thought,” he said in an interview.
12. Why is Alphabet shutting down Loon
A. Many local communities disliked the project.
B. It was too costly to continue the project.
C. The technology was no longer advanced.
D. It was too difficult to sot up the systems,
13. How does the author introduce Loon’s technology in paragraph 5
A. By describing difficulties in using it.
B. By providing research results about it.
C. By explaining is advantages and disadvantages.
D By showing its differences from traditional ones.
14. What can we learn about the technology of Loon
A. It helped areas hit by natural disasters.
B. It suited the need of developed countries,
C. It was unable to work in terrible weather.
D. It was less elective than traditional systen9.
15. What was unexpected for Rich Devaul
A. Communications problems became worse.
B. Cell towers became more economical in a short time.
C. Other companies would run similar projects
D. The Internet connections were getting faster.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一个利用高空气球为世界上难以到达的地区提供互联网服务的项目，这个项目因高昂的花费而正在被关闭。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But Loon was unable to reduce costs enough to make its business model run, the project’ s leader, Alastair Westgarth, said in a blog post.(Loon项目负责人阿拉斯泰尔·韦斯特加斯(Alastair Westgarth)在一篇博客文章中表示，Loon未能将成本降低到足以维持其商业模式的水平。)”可知，Alphabet关闭Loon是因为继续这个项目的花费太大了。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段最后两句“The system was able to offer mobile coverage to an area 200 times larger than a traditional ground-based cell tower. However, a carrier would need several balloons at once, each would cost tens of thousands of dollars and last only about five months.(该系统能够提供的移动覆盖范围比传统的地面发射塔大200倍。然而，一个载物架一次需要几个气球，每个气球花费数万美元，而且只能使用大约5个月。)”可知，本段是通过解释其优缺点来介绍Loon这项技术的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In 2017, the project sent balloons into the skies above Puerto Rico after a terrible hurricane damaged the island’s communications facilities. Two years later, soon after a 7. 8 earthquake struck parts of Peru, Loon’s balloons began to provide the locals with mobile connectivity.(2017年，在一场可怕的飓风破坏了波多黎各的通讯设施后，该项目向波多黎各上空放飞了气球。两年后，一场7.8级的地震袭击秘鲁部分地区后不久，Loon的气球开始为当地人提供移动连接。)”可知，Loon技术帮助遭受自然灾害的地区。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This made cell towers more cost-effective than he had expected ten years ago, reducing the need for Loon, ‘The problem got solved faster than we thought,’ he said in an interview.(这使得手机信号塔比他十年前预期的要更加划算，减少了对Loon的需求。‘问题解决得比我们想象的要快，’他在接受采访时说)”可知，令Rich Devaul意外的是手机信号塔在短时间内变得更加经济实惠。故选B项。
