I dont think that I could have jumped out of that plane without the encouragement of my wonderful friends and classmatesYodel and Tatiana! It was a pity that we couldnt jump together. However, as we prepared to jump, there was something special among us- a special bond.I made a reservation（预定）to go skydiving one week before the day of my jump. I felt nervous during the whole week, kind of blue; but mysteriously. When it was the moment to jump from the airplane, I didnt feel any fear I just jumped! That was wonderful! Wonderful!There was a whole new world and the beautiful sky. I had never seen such a beautiful world! First, I felt an awful acceleration（加速） and then I felt like I was lying in the airlike a bird! I think it was an illusion, but it was wonderful!The oncoming wind blew me strongly. It was amazing! After about 50 seconds free fall, the parachute opened. When I landed on the ground, I felt a lack of oxygen. It was difficult to breathe in during the freefall.I was so glad that I survived and was able to overcome my fear! Everything went well!

It could be the plot of a summer blockbuster(成功的电影), but this prediction isnt science fiction. Its a glimpse(一瞥) of the future, according to famous British scientist Stephen Hawking. “I see great dangers for the human race,” he said in an interview with global forum(论坛) Big Think. “There have been a number of times in the past when its survival has been a question of touch-and-go.” Hawking, an award-winning physicist, says humans must evacuate our home planet within the next two centuries and expand into space to survive. “I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space,” he said. “It will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on our planet in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand, or million.” Hawking, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year, has recently voiced many concerns about the future of life on the earth. In April, he spoke about his fear of aliens in an interview for the Discovery Channel. “If aliens visited us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didnt turn out well for the Native Americans,” he said. “Such advanced aliens would perhaps become wanders, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach.” But Hawking says he is still hopeful for the future of humanity. “Im an optimist,” he told Big Think. “We have made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. But if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years, our future is in space.” Getting to another planet will prove a challenge, not to mention colonizing it for humanity. University of Michigan astrophysicist(天体物理学家)Katherine Freese told Big Think that “the nearest star to the earth is Proxima Centauri which is 4.2 light years away. That means, if you were travelling at the speed of light the whole time, it would take 4.2 years to get there-or about 50,000 years using current rocket science.”28. Which of the following is NOT a reason why humans need to give up the earth according to the passage?A. Lots of great dangers for humans have been seen. B. It will be hard for humans to avoid disasters on the earth in the future. C. The earth will be destroyed by worldwide wars before long. D. Advanced aliens may conquer and colonize the earth some day.29. The underlined word “evacuate” in Paragraph 3 probably means _. A. leave B. save C. damage D. protect30. Hawkings attitude towards the future of humans is _. A. objective B. positive C. subjective D. negative31. How long will it take to reach Proxima Centauri by current rocket? A. About 4.2 years. B. Over 10 years. C. Less than 42000 years. D. About 50,000years.DAmericans have always been hungry for the holidays. After all, a big Thanksgiving feast is one of our countrys oldest traditions, older than America itself. Thankfully, the spirit behind Thanksgiving has never changed, either. It has always been a special time to be thankful for the blessings of the past year. The feast that has become known as the First Thanksgiving was actually a harvest festival celebrated in December of 1621. Thats when English settlers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, gave thanks for the progress they had made after a harsh winter in their new country. Guests at outdoor tables gobbled (狼吞虎咽) up ducks, geese turkeys, clams, eels, fish, wild plums, corn bread and other goodies. About 90 Native Americans also came and brought five deer to add to the feast. The festival lasted for three days. Thanksgiving customs spread and expanded along with the rest of America. After the American Revolution, George Washington proclaimed(正式宣布) that the first national Thanksgiving would be on November 26, 1789. In the decades to follow, however, people celebrate Thanksgiving locally and with no official date. A womens magazine editor named Sarah Josepha Hale wanted to change this. After years of trying hard to get support, she finally persuaded President Abraham Lincoln to proclaim the last Thursday in November 1863 as a national day of Thanksgiving. It stayed that way for 75 years afterward until 1939, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt set it one week earlier. He wanted to lengthen the shopping period before Christmas to encourage gift-buyers and help businesses. So Congress ruled that, after 1941, Thanksgiving would be an official federal holiday falling each year on the fourth Thursday of November. This year we celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 26.32. Why do Americans celebrate Thanksgiving?A. To celebrate the foundation of the country. B. To enjoy a big feast and memorize their ancestors. C. To express thanks for the blessings of the past year. D. To celebrate the arrival in the new country.33. What can we NOT learn from the passage? A. Some Native Americans also joined the First Thanksgiving. B. Americans will have three days off on Thanksgiving Day. C. Roosevelt set Thanksgiving one week earlier to develop economy. D. People still celebrated Thanksgiving with no official date in 1809. 34. When was Thanksgiving ruled as an official federal holiday? A. In 1789.B. In 1863. C. In 1939.D. In 1941.35. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The history of Thanksgiving. B. The food on Thanksgiving. C. The meaning of Thanksgiving. D. The activities on Thanksgiving.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。请将答案写在二卷相应的位置。 In high school, its important to stay healthy. 36. _ How can you study well if youre sick?
