26、My family didn’t talk much shout my grandfather when I was growing up. He had been a doctor in the British Army and served in the First World War. While many families had relatives in the British Army who fought on the front, it wasn’t something you need to talk about with pride. It’s only as an adult then that I have started to look deeper into my grandfather’s life.

After graduating from medical school in 1906,my grandfather worked as a resident surgeon at the Waterford Hospital for 12 month before joining the Royal Army Medical Corps and starting his first tour of India.

Over the next several years,he served in Rawalpindi,Ferozepore,Multan,Rangoon and Mandalay.

The First World War began on July 28,1914 and two weeks later, my grandfather was on active service in France and Belgium．He was captured(俘获)at Landrecies on October 18,1914 and was kept in prison at Sennelager Prisoner of War Camp in Germany. Following his release on June 26,1915,he returned to London.________A month later he was back on active service,first with the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force in Malta,then Gallipoli and then back to France and Belgium25where he served as the officer commanding No. 44 Field Ambulance until near the war’s end in November 1918.

While his army records afford us a timeline on his service, they don’t show much about his experiences on the battlefield. Thankfully; the surviving sketch (素描) of him at the Battle of the Somme and the accompanying caption (说明文字) by the artist Muirhead Bone help to fill in the gaps.The original,entitled“Waiting for the Wounded”, is housed in the Imperial War Museum,London.

When I was a child, a copy of this sketch hung in my parents’ bedroom, but I didn’t know its importance. Now, as I try to know better about my grandfather, it takes on new significance for me.

【1】Why didn’t the author’s family talk much about his grandfather?

A．He didn’t fight on the front at all.

B．He was once captured and put into prison.

C．They hardly knew about his experiences at war.

D．They didn’t think it necessary to share his experiences.

【2】What do we know about the author’s grandfather?

A．He was the commander of several armies.

B．He served in the army for many years.

C．He disliked working at the Waterford Hospital.

D．He escaped from prison and returned to France.

【3】What helped the author know more about his grandfather’s experiences on the battlefields?

A．The illustration by Muirhead Bone.

B．The army records of his grandfather.

C．His visit to the Imperial War Museum.

D．The legend of the Battle of the Somme.

【4】Why does the author write the text?

A．To tell about people’s life in the 1910s.

B．To help us know about the First World War.

C．To encourage us to know about our grandfathers.

D．To tell about his grandfather’s experiences at war.

27、When you think of a new place for growing food, you might think of Mars. But one Italian family believes one possible place is right here on the Earth: the ocean.

Nemo’s Garden is the world’s first underwater system of land plants. Located off the coast of Noli, Italy, it consists of several greenhouses called biospheres, each of which is attached to the seafloor. “The aim of it is to change agriculture, and add a possibility for growing produce in the ocean,” says co-founder Luca Gamberini.

His father Sergio Gamberini came up with the idea by combining his two passions — diving and gardening. In 2012, the project began with planting basil (罗勒) underwater. Now Nemo’s Garden is growing strong.

“Our limited number of resources can not promise sustainable (可持续的) development,” Luca says, “and we believe that underwater gives us some advantages over traditional agriculture.”

Floating six to ten meters underwater, plants in Nemo’s Garden are separated from any outside pathogens (病原体). Also, the temperature of the ocean water is an ideal environment for plant life. Besides, Nemo’s Garden uses a technique that uses water-based nutrients (养分) instead of soil. “Also, there is little interaction with the underwater environment and related ecosystems, which means no harm is caused to sea creatures,” adds Luca.

Everything is monitored on land through cameras and sensors, and settings can be adjusted. When it’s time to harvest, a diver will cut the vegetation, place it in bags and float them to the surface.

The team at Nemo’s Garden has plans for even bigger biospheres in the future, as well as other locations. Luca believes the future of Nemo’s Garden will be mostly along the coastlines where communities could benefit from the added space it offers.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The greenhouse.

B．The seafloor.

C．Underwater system.

D．Nemo’s Garden.

【2】Why did Luca start the underwater system?

A．To combine his two hobbies.

B．To feed the growing population.

C．To seek sustainable farming.

D．To develop healthy ways of life.

【3】What’s the main idea of paragraph 5?

A．The advantages of Nemo’s Garden.

B．The construction of Nemo’s Garden.

C．The structure of Nemo’s Garden.

D．The techniques used in Nemo’s Garden.

【4】Where is the text most probably taken from?

A．A research paper.

B．A science magazine.

C．A journal entry.

D．A science fiction.

28、I’d been asked to go to an editor’s office with the old program “We have a story we think you’d be perfect for”. Here was the topic: We want you to write about how middle-aged men have no friends. Seeing that, I couldn’t help thinking, “Excuse me? I have plenty of friends.” Then the editor told me there were all sorts of evidence out there to show how men, as they age, let their close friendships go, and that the fact can cause all sorts of problems and have a terrible impact on their health.

As I walked back to my desk in the newsroom--a distance of maybe 100 yards--I quickly search for my friend list. First of all, there was my friend Mark. Wait, how often do we actually hang out? Maybe four or five times a year? And then there was another best friend from high school, Rory, and. . . I actually could not remember the last time I’d seen him.

There were all those other good friends who seemed as if they’re still in my life because we follow one another via social media, but as I ran down the list of those I considered real, true, lifelong friends, I realized that it had been years since I saw many of them, even decades for a few.

By the time I got back to my desk, I realized that I was indeed perfect for this story, not because I was unusual in any way, but because my story was very, very typical. And as I looked into what that means, I realized that in the long term, I was heading down a path that was very, very dangerous. And I knew I needed a change.

【1】What was the author’s first reaction to the topic?

A．He thought it was perfect for him.

B．He knew the editor was joking.

C．He felt surprised and doubtful.

D．He showed an interest in it.

【2】Why did the editor choose this topic?

A．To solve health problems.

B．To change a dangerous path.

C．To attach importance to friendship.

D．To prove the author’s writing ability.

【3】What did the author reflect on after walking back to the newsroom?

A．He realized the topic worth writing.

B．He wasn’t popular with others.

C．He had close friends in his life.

D．He didn’t make any true friends.

【4】How did the author keep friendship with his friends?

A．Through letters.

B．Through the Internet.

C．By phoning each other.

D．By partying regularly.

29、How to listen in English exams

Listening is an important but difficult part for middle school students in English exams. The following suggestions may benefit you a lot.

Relax yourself.

Before listening, it’s necessary to have a peaceful state of mind. 【1】 If that doesn’t work, drinking some water or washing your face with cold water may help you to some extent.

【2】

As soon as the listening starts, focus on it without thinking about anything else. While listening, you can also recall the related knowledge in common with the material concerned, such as the vocabulary about the subject or topic, which is beneficial to your better understanding.

Grasp the main idea.

Sometimes the monologue, dialogue or conversation you’re listening to is a little bit longer than you expect. And it’s normal that some unnecessary information is included. However, you don’t need to understand it completely. 【3】

Ignore the new words.

Without doubt, there usually exist unfamiliar words in listening materials. In fact, it’s almost impossible for you to know or understand all the words in the listening material sometimes. 【4】 It’s mistaken to waste much time on figuring them out while listening.

Develop the habit of taking notes.

In the course of listening, it’s a good habit to write down the content and leave out the unimportant details. 【5】 By taking notes, we can remind ourselves of the key points.

A．Concentrate on listening.

B．The more words you memorize, the better it is.

C．Feeling nervous or worried is harmful and unnecessary.

D．What you need to do is turn a deaf ear to the new words.

E．Make a list of what you think is important while listening.

F．Instead, just pay attention to the key points and general ideas.

G．If you feel nervous or anxious, try taking a deep breath to calm yourself down.

32、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。

My mom told me the story when I asked her about my hand. “The room was quiet, and you were quiet. I was waiting for you to cry. I asked if you were OK, but they were hesitant, the doctor and nurses. They said you were missing a hand." My mom told this to me with such complex（复杂的）feelings. My disability came as a surprise to my parents, but they took me home and treated me as any other child.

They knew I was an active child and took part in sports, music and everything a typical child would. They never let anything hold me back. That was their goal. However hard, they would help me. And with many kind people's help, I was able to receive prosthetics（义肢） that cost $1,000, at no cost.

Middle and high school brought about different challenges. Just like most girls, I struggled hard with self-respect for how I looked. I was not like other girls, and I was aware of that clearly. I lost my confidence as I questioned whether anyone would ever love me. Luckily, my worry was unnecessary.

My confidence was still shaking in my 20's as I became a mother. I had years to prepare everything, but I was also worried about the coming baby. Worse still, I felt my son would dislike me.

However, that all changed with one moment. It all happened when my son was around 6 years old. "She was born like that!" He responded loudly, standing protectively in front of me as I bent down to answer his little classmates' question.

It was a moment that lives on forever in my memory. My son freed me of questioning myself if I was a good enough mom for him. I was, I had always been. He knew it before I did. The pride in his voice showed me that I was just me.

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。

My son made me confident and I started sharing my story.
