2.When I was a kid,I couldn't resist climbing trees.A sycamore grew in front of my home.At the age of 10,I was just tall enough to reach its lowest branch.Standing on that first branch,I was able to reach the others and climb my way up like a monkey,up into the higher branches until I found myself taking in my whole neighborhood from on high.
Climbing trees allowed me to enter another world.My friends and I took our imaginations with us to new heights,entering a fortress a pirate ship or a spaceship.One summer,we spent so much time in the sycamore that my dad created a rope-and-pulley system with an attached basket,so my mom could send ham sandwiches to us.
With these memories in mind,I still have one question:Do kids still climb trees?In my small Maine town.jye.ai are some lovely maples and oaks,and their branches spread wide and open for exploration.But I have not yet seen a taker.Perhaps computer games have substituted for tree-climbing,or maybe the activity came to be viewed as too risky.It is a sad loss.
The campus of the university where I teach now is lovingly landscaped with all sorts of trees,with some being incredibly old.During a recent walk,I found myself ducking under the limb of a spruce(云杉).I used my feet to scrabble my way up the trunk-none of this as easy as it once was -and a moment later I was up in the tree.Then the memories came flooding back.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear the student calling to me from below.He asked what I was doing."Come on up,"I said."The air's fine."But he only laughed,waved me off and continued on his way.He didn't know what he was missing.

3. When people get old and have difficulty working full time,they retire and begin a new,more relaxing lifestyle.But what about old industrial buildings?Can they start anew?
China seems to find a good solution for them.In recent years,many old factories,railway yards,warehouses and mills have been transformed into cultural and tourist sites.The 798 Art Zone in Beijing is an iconic example.Built in the 1950s as No 718 Joint Factory,it was gradually abandoned in the 1990s as production slowed down.In 2006,Beijing's municipal government invested over 120 million yuan and improved its infrastructure condition,turning the factory complex into a cultural and creative industrial base.Now the art zone holds about 200 galleries,art centers as well as fashionable boutiques,cafes,and restaurants,which also earns it a place on the bucket list of many tourists,noted The Paper.
Jack Liu is a frequenter of the art zone who visits it every weekend. "In the art zone,you can refresh memories of the development of Chinese manufacturing through its old buildings," said the 28-year-old to Teens. "However,in art galleries here you will feel pulled into a fashionable,modern world.It's amazing."
Industrial heritage sites,which used to be filled with the rumbling of machines,are now "precious pages of the book on the industrial culture of China," noted People's Daily.Since these heritage sites are rich and diverse in content,cities in China also spare no effort to explore new ways and models to protect and use them.For example,a beer museum has been set up inside a century-old plant of the Tsingtao Brewery in Qingdao,Shandong Province,bringing people closer to the long history of the brewery (啤酒廠).
Just as the elderly need our care and love,these industrial heritages are also expected to be injected with vitality through protection and development. "It is not only an unavoidable trend of the innovation-driven development of cities,but a necessity for promoting new drivers of development," noted People's Daily.
(1)What is China's solution for old industrial buildings?
A.Expanding their space and uses.
B.Upgrading them to become attractions.
C.Integrating them with new buildings.
D.Returning them to their original condition.
(2)What do we know about the 798 Art Zone?
A.It was gradually abandoned in the 1950s.
B.It mainly provides venues for fashion shows.
C.It's China's first cultural and creative industrial base.
D.It's a typical case of transforming old industrial sites.
(3)Why does the author mention the beer museum?
A.To show the popularity of industrial heritage sites.
B.To explain the importance of renovating old plants.
C.To introduce the features of industrial heritage sites.
D.To tell how old industrial sites can be used effectively.
(4)What does the author think of industrial heritage sites?
A.They deserve to be brought back to life.
B.They can be drivers for city development.
C.They should give way to modern buildings.
D.They are reminders of a city's development.組卷:1引用:1難度:0.5

9. I was a shy 13-year-old boy that year,afraid to speak before people and poor at communicating with others.My parents were worried,so they introduced a part-time job in a restaurant to me during the summer vacation,hoping it would make a difference to me.Although I hated it and didn't believe it would bring any change to me,I had to accept it.The part-time job fell on Monday of each week.
On the first Monday,I simply dared not look at people in the restaurant.And when I was speaking with them,my face turned red and my voice was low.On my way back home,I felt so bad.But when I reached home,my bad feelings disappeared.I found my parents had brought home a pet cat,which I had expected to get for a long time.The cat was so lovely.
However,one Thursday,he secretly ran out and disappeared.We looked for him everywhere the whole day but found nothing.We lived in the city,close to a road.I guessed he would probably not be home again.And after three days of looking for the cat with no sign of him,I quite believed he wouldn't be home again.My parents told me, "A miracle (奇跡) may happen as long as you don't give up." However,I quite doubted it.
On the morning of the following Monday,I left for work 45 minutes earlier and started walking to the bus stop a block away.While waiting for the bus there,I thought about the work and felt upset.It wouldn't be helpful to me and it was tiring!How much I wanted to quit the job!And thinking of the cat,I felt even worse.
Since it was still early,I suddenly wanted to spare some time to look for the cat again though I had little hope.I told myself, "If I still fail to find him this time,I won't look for him again. "Then,I decided to walk to the next bus stop to look for him around.Minutes later,suddenly,a dirty and weak cat sitting by a tree caught my eye.
注意:
(1)續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;
(2)請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答
My eyes widened,and I was surprised to find it was just our cat.________
Encouraged,I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job._________組卷:4引用:1難度:0.5
