ADear J.K. Rowling，I’ve lived most of my life fighting against depression. Yet, in my darkest moments, your words have kept ringing in my ears and it is high time that I said “thank you”. When I was eight, my mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化) and was unable to take care of me. I soon became a burden for the rest of the family.My grandparents heard that anxiety might have been the cause of the disease. They believed that raising me caused my mom’s anxiety. Therefore, without considering the disastrous effects on me, they refused to take full responsibility for me.At that time, I was carrying my whole life in a backpack: clothes, school books, pens, my dead grandfather’s pocket-watch, and Harry Potter. Your books, your words and my imagination were then the only things to provide me with some sense of home. I could return to them, knowing for sure that the fantasy world you had created was somehow waiting for me. I could escape for a time, from this small and unsatisfying world. Even if I now understand that escapism (逃避现实) is not a solution, as an eight-year-old boy it was all I could hope for.When I came across an amazing speech you gave this morning, I felt the urgent need to write, even though I know it is most unlikely that you’ll ever read this letter. Your simple and honest speech helped me change my point of view. It’s just the beginning of a new understanding for me.All I want is to let you know how grateful I am. Your ability as a writer contributed to making my world a little bit brighter when I needed it most. Thank you.Yours,James21. Why was the author’s mother unable to look after him?A.

The wind challenged the car and joined other forces of winter — slippery roads, poor visibility to take our little car off course.“Do you feel safe? Should I turn back?”“No,” my wife Jennifer replied, “I really want to see this show in Toronto. I have faith in your driving.”We were coming down the hill on the highway. Suddenly there was a noticeable increase in the force of snow.I felt the car stagger (摇晃) slightly to the left and then to the right. We were in the far left lane; the bus was in the middle. Our little Neon slid into the side of the bus about midpoint. Suddenly Jennifer was cheek-to-cheek with the side of the bus. She screamed in horror. Bouncing off the bus, our car then hit onto the barrier in the middle of the highway. Then from the barrier we rebounded back to the side of the bus. Jennifer screamed and then we were back to the barrier again.On our third return, the bus had moved far enough ahead that we just caught the rear bumper (保险杠), which caused the car to spin 180 degrees so we were now facing oncoming traffic. There was nothing I could do but wait to be knocked down. Jennifer whispered, “I guess this is how it feels just before you die. I wonder if it hurts.” In that instant, I heard a voice inside my head. “Relax, let go and everything will be alright.” So I took my hand off the steering wheel, took a deep breath and just sat there.Thankfully, we somehow ended up on the side of the road facing in the right direction in our now beat up Neon. Since the car was not completely off the road, I restarted it and moved us safely. We were not hurt at all.26. The author seems to tell us in Paragraph 1 that _______.A. it was a terribly cold dayB. the weather was rather badC. he took the wrong roadD. his car was in poor quality27.

Three times.D. Four times.29. What saved the couple’s life?A. The policeman’s guide.B. Jeniffer’s encouragement.C. The bus driver’s help.D. The author’s being calm.30. The text is organized in the order of ______.A. timeB. importanceC. spaceD. locationCUsing their bare hands, two climbers accomplished the world’s toughest climb. They achieved what many thought impossible: They scaled the 3,000-foot-high Dawn Wall in Yosemite National Park.Climbing without specialized equipment is called “free-climbing”. Until now, no one has free-climbed to the top of the rock face, which is a part of the mountain El Capitan. El Capitan has always presented a challenge to climbers. And the Dawn Wall is a particularly difficult route to the summit. It is a granite rock (花岗岩) formation that is both steep (陡峭) and relatively smooth. This makes free-climbing the rock face seem almost impossible.It took years of planning and preparation, but last month, Tommy, 36, and his friend Kevin Jorgeson, 30, finally made the climb. It took them 19 days to get to the top. “We’ve been working on this since 2009. It’s pretty strange to wake up this morning and have the climb complete,” Kevin said.Free climbers do use ropes and other basic safety equipment to catch them if they fall—and Tommy and Kevin fell often. Before starting their climb, they broke down their route into 32 sections. Each section was based on a rope length called a pitch (节点). The rope was secured into the rock face to catch the climbers if they fell. If they fell, they had to start that pitch all over again.They made it through the first half of the climb relatively easily. But halfway up, Kevin ran into trouble. In one difficult spot, he fell each time he attempted to climb. After 10 days of trying, he finally made it to the next pitch. Getting through that troublesome pitch gave both climbers new energy. They finished the rest of the climb five days later. Tommy and Kevin achieved something that many people had thought was impossible.31. What does the author mainly express through the text?A. Planning and preparation are important.B. Nothing is impossible with strong will.C. Free climbers are the toughest people.D. Getting through trouble can give energy.32. What is “free-climbing” according to the text?A. Climbing great mounts with specialized equipment.B. Climbing freely without plans ahead of time.C. Climbing without specialized equipment.D. Climbing alone without companions.33. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Few people have climbed to the top of the rock face.B. Dawn Wall is both steep and relatively smooth.C. The rock face is near the mountain El Captian.D. Many climbers want to challenge El Captain.34. What are ropes mainly used to do in free climbing?A. To make measurement.B. To dig pitches.C. To catch the climbers.D. To break the climb.35. How long did it take to get through the first half of the climb?A. 19 days.B. 10 days.C. 5 days.D. 4 days.DLeonardo da Vinci was born on April 15th, 1452. He was not only a talented artist, but also contributed to the fields of engineering, biology, mathematics and architecture. His inventions and discoveries were way ahead of his time. BBC Culture asked our readers to share their favourite works by Da Vinci and explain why they love them.St John the Baptist (浸礼会教徒), submitted by Saloni Tiwari from India:“St John the Baptist is Da Vinci’s last painting and it was still in his possession when he died. Even though St John was usually portrayed by other artists, Da Vinci portrayed him in a feminine way with a mysterious smile similar to that of Mona Lisa.”Lady with an Ermine, s ubmitted by Alexandra Degtereva from Moscow, Russia:“Lady with an Ermine is one of Da Vinci’s most famous paintings, but there are some questions about whether it was drawn by him. The reconstruction of the painting’s layers shows that there were three different versions of it and that they didn’t all include the ceremonial animal.”The Virgin of the Rocks,submitted by Karen Howard-Goldsmith from the UK:“I love this painting. What a master talent Da Vinci was!”The Virgin of the Rocks is actually two paintings of the same subject. One version is hung in the Louvre, while the other one is hung in the National Gallery in London. While the Louvre version is believed to be the one Leonardo made first, the other is still a matter of debate. The studies of botany in the National Gallery picture suggest that the plants were painted inaccurately, which wasn’t something Da Vinci would do, considering his precision and faithfulness to nature.36. What does Paragraph 1 suggest?A. Da Vinci was a pioneer in many fields.B. Many people dislike Da Vinci’s works.C. Da Vinci is best known for architecture.D. BBC Culture has a preference for Da Vinci.37. Which of the following was Da Vinci’s last painting?A. Mona Lisa.B. St John the Baptist.C. Lady with an Ermine.D. The Virgin of the Rocks.38. What does Alexandra Degtereva think of Lady with an Ermine?A. It was the most famous painting of Da Vinci.B. It is well-known for the ceremonial animal.C. It was probably not drawn by Da Vinci.D. It has been reconstructed several times.39. The underlined word “precision” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “_____”.A.respectB. contributionC. comprehensionD. accuracy40. What’s the text mainly about?A. History about Western paintings.B. Comments on works of Da Vinci.C. Development of the European art.D. Achievements of Leonardo Da Vinci.EThe Dupont Circle park in Washington DC is a busy, crowded place. Popular restaurants and businesses around the circle attract many city residents and visitors. But few people know about the old streetcar station below the street.Broil Agene is the Managing Director of an organization called Dupont Underground. The group wants to change the old station into a place for the arts. Mr Agene says they hope to fill the space in different ways, light and sound or installations. Or it can be used like a traditional gallery. But also as a curved space, it offers a chance for new kinds of performance. Some theater groups would like to work in the unusual space and do different kinds of production.The system of tunnels was built in the late 1940s. But the streetcars only ran for a short time. They stopped running in the 1960s. Mr. Agene says the station could become a symbol of how quickly Washington is changing. Changes in the last five years have been tremendous. The restaurant scene is changing, new development, new opportunities. Now there is an opportunity to create something here that helps the city to move forward.Dupont Underground is just one example of the trend toward giving a new purpose to unused industrial sites. In New York, builders want to make a forgotten street car garage into a park below the street. And New York already has the popular High Line Park. It was once an old railroad path.Can Dupont Underground be as successful? Another organization tried to open a group of eating places in thespace 15 years ago, but the food court project failed. Mr Agene says the group leading the new effort has a better understanding of the project. He says the group knows it will take a lot of time and money and is successfully seeking financial support. Broil Agnese and his co-workers hope to open the underground station to the public in the next few months.41. What can we know about Broil Agene from the text?A.
