Surely one of the world's most attractive rivers as well as being its longest, the mighty Nile River runs constantly ever northwards 6, 650 kilometre(4, 132 miles)from its or iginsin Africa to its mouth on the Uat-Ur, the Egyptian word for the Mediterranean Sea. Along its passage, it gave life to the ancient Egyptians, nourishing(滋养)them with its annual deep layers of rich black earth providing the basis for the agriculture, which supported the flowering of their culture.
Seneca, the Roman philosopher and statesman, described the Nile as a"remarkable sight" and an amazing wonder. The surviving records indicate this is an opinion widely shared by ancient writers who visited Egypt's"mother of all men".
The river gains its name from the Greek"Neilos", meaning valley, although the ancient Egyptians called their river Ar, or"black"after its rich earth. However, the story of the Nile River doesn't begin in the expansive delta(三角洲)of marshes(沼泽)and lakes of its Mediterranean exit, but in two distinct sources, the Blue Nile, which falls down from the Abyssinian highlands and the White Nile, which springs from equatorial Africa.
The Nile's broad fan-shaped Delta is flat and green. At its farthest reaches, Alexander the Great built Alexandria, a busy port city and home to the Library of Alexandria and the famed Pharos Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Beyond the expanse of the Nile Delta lies the Mediterranean and Europe. At the far end of the Nile, sat Aswan, the gateway city to Egypt, a small, hot, garrison town for Egypt's armies as they hotly contested the territory with Nubia over the centuries.
(1)、How did the Nile River contribute to the ancient Egypt's civilization?A、By supplying enough drinking water. B、By providing transport to the country. C、By offering support to the agriculture. D、By developing its tourism to other states.(2)、What can be learned from paragraph 3?A、The origins of the river are delta of marshes and lakes. B、The White Nile flows from the Abyssinian highlands. C、The Greek name of the river has something to do with soil. D、The Nile River originated from two distinct destinations.(3)、What do the underlined words"garrison town"in the last paragraph mean?A、Local market. B、Business area. C、Military station. D、Cultural center.(4)、What is a suitable title for the text?A、The Nile River in Ancient Egypt. B、The Culture of Egypt and Its river C、The Great Function of the Nile River. D、Important Places along the Nile River -

Depending on your job, you may have the chance to make a kid's day while at work. Or even better, you may have memories of an adult going the extra mile just to make you smile. For a group of construction workers, the opportunity popped up in the form of a toy truck. Excited to see some building work being done in the area, a small boy paid a visit with his tiny truck as if to join the action. What happened next is something that the little one will surely value forever.
The heart-warming moment was shot in a video that has since gone viral. Wanting to be a part of it all and hoping to see the big excavator(挖掘机)at work, the kid placed his wheeled toy under the big metal machine. The machine operator, moved by it all, was grateful and filled the toy truck with earth. With careful precision, as if it were a crucial part of the construction work being done, he made the little boy's dreams come true. While it's hard to find the location or the time from the video alone, the excitement of the kid as the machine slowly fills the mini dump truck is universally lovely. Even the other construction workers stop for a while to witness the cute scene. All the while, the kid's mom holds him firmly to keep everyone safe until the toy truck is full and the machine is still.
While anyone can appreciate the sweetness of a group of adults taking a few minutes to put a smile on a child's face, the video has had all kinds of positive responses. For some, it brought back memories of seeing construction work and big machines when they were little and being blown away. For others, it allowed them to enjoy the unexpected delicacy of the great machine. If there's one thing we all can agree on, it's that the boy wasn't the only one who benefited from this tiny action. As one editor wrote, "I used to work in the field. I can tell you it made everyone's day. "
(1)、Why did the kid come to the construction field?A、To drive the big excavator alone. B、To work like a construction worker. C、To get some earth from the field. D、To see what the construction site is like.(2)、What did the excavator operator do?A、He held the kid firmly to keep him safe. B、He stopped for a while to witness the scene.

14、 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。
For my fourteenth birthday, my mom offered to take me and several friends to the city near our small town to visit a mall, eat pizza in the food court, and then catch a movie. Afterward, we would all return to my house for a slumber party (睡衣晚会). It was just the kind of celebration a teenage girl longed for.
On the awaited day, all the friends I'd invited to join me on this birthday trip attended school - except Nora. When it came time to climb aboard the bus and ride together to my home, she still didn't show up.
I felt confused. Then I felt mad. Why did she tell me she'd come to the party and then break her word without letting me know? By the time we returned to my house, I decided to call Nora. When she answered, I demanded to know why she had forgotten my birthday celebration. "It's my birthday!" I declared. "You're not coming to my party, and you didn't even let me know. What kind of friend are you?"
Nora explained that she had to stay at home because she was sick.
"OK, so you're sick ... but how was I supposed to know if you didn't tell me?" I answered. The conversation only grew more heated from there. By the end of it, Nora could only sob sadly as we both hung up the phone.
At the mall that night, all of us had a great time. I hardly gave Nora or her absence from our fun another thought.
At school on Monday, I avoided seeing her. For the rest of the school year, we barely spoke to one another. I started high school the following year. Our friendship had been relegated (降级) to the past. It happens sometimes, I figured, so I just shrugged it off(不在乎).
Years later, I discovered that Facebook had suggested Nora as a friend. We'd attended the same schools, came from the same town, and had many friends in common; it made sense. It was at that moment that I began to reflect on that ugly phone conversation I'd initiated with Nora all those years before.
要求:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Recalling what had happened that day, I felt a deep regret for what I had done for the first time.
But only a few days later, she responded with a message.

16、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
During the Tang Dynasty (618-907) in China, Buddhism (佛教) (become) very popular and there was a strong need to produce a large number of Buddhist scriptures (经文). (copy) by hand could not meet the rising demand. So, ancient Chinese craftsmen came up with new way to make lots of copies - woodblock printing. Traditional woodblock printing can be divided four main steps: writing, carving (雕刻), printing, and binding. Each of these steps involves many smaller tasks, and in total, about 30 steps (need) to create a woodblock print.
Carving is at the heart of woodblock printing because this step can make break the final print. Skilled craftsmen carve characters and pictures to create raised areas or lines will hold ink for printing. One famous example of woodblock printing is the Diamond Sutra, a Buddhist scripture(print) in 868. It's considered the "earliest dated printed book" and is kept in the British Library. This ancient art form not only shows the wisdom of our ancestors but also the beauty of Chinese craftsmanship over the centuries.
Before printing, writing allowed people to share their thoughts, but the (invent) of printing made knowledge something everyone could (easy) access and enjoy.

19、阅读理解
A Spanish project is attempting to use 3D-printed coral reefs to provide habitat for fish and protection for beaches and coastal communities at risk from rising seas and other damage.
Coral reefs are decreasing globally, and some scientists say we could lose 70% - 90% of our reefs due to warming ocean waters. That has all kinds of serious influences because a quarter of the world's fish live in and around reefs. Reefs are important protectors of coastal communities threatened by high waves, and they support the biodiversity (生物多样性). That led Nadia Fani and her co-founder Astrid Kramer to start Coastruction, a non-profit organization.
"Even if you start on a small scale (规模)... a square kilometer already, it could have a great impact," Fani says. "It could really protect a coast, a beach, or an area where there is a community and it needs protection because the sea level is rising. "
Being able to use 3D printing is important, because you can match individual sites. Every location is different with different coral species. "It's like everybody has a different house," Fani says. " You can take into account habitat requirements of not just the coral but also the fish that live nearby. "
Their present technology can print various shapes. The result can be an amazingly natural-looking man-made rock with plenty of corners for both coral and fish to attach themselves and make homes.
The Coastruction founders don't think they can possibly meet the global demand, so their goal is to provide the tools — like the 3D printer — for local people and develop the technology to create the artificial(人造的)coral reefs by using cheap and locally-available materials. No high temperatures or chemical additives are required, and any loose powder or sand material not used in one print will be used in the next. The 3D printer works on-site, so there's no transport of finished blocks required.
(1)、 What does the underlined word "That" in paragraph 2 refer to?A、The biodiversity of coral reefs. B、The reduction in coral species. C、The warming of ocean waters. D、The loss of global coral reefs.(2)、 What do Fani's words imply?A、3D-printed reefs can hardly save the ocean. B、3D-printed reefs fail to provide perfect fish habitat. C、Small actions make a difference to ocean protection. D、Small-scale production of reefs is a drop in the ocean.(3)、What result can the present 3D printing achieve now?A、Creating lifelike reefs. B、Lowering reefs' temperatures. C、Printing regular-shaped reefs. D、Using any material to produce reefs.(4)、What is one goal of the Coastruction founders?A、Putting their reefs into mass production. B、Transporting finished reefs to more places. C、Adapting their technology for local conditions. D、Adding chemicals to reefs to make them colorful. -
20、阅读理解
There's nothing wrong with a tomato that isn't perfectly round or a peach with an extra dimple or two; they still carry the same benefits and flavors as the versions we're used to seeing in grocery stores (食品杂货店). Farmers throw away these imperfect items, as many grocery chains won't buy them for fear that they are unsellable. However, a growing group of grocery chains are fighting to make these discarded fruit and vegetables part of consumers' buying habits.
One such business is Imperfect Produce, a start-up that provides fresh ugly produce for consumers. Through this service, you can get up to 20 pounds of fruit and vegetables for around $20 a week. This is about a 30 percent discount compared to what's now sold in stores. Recently, the company had a major advancement when Whole Foods Market accepted their partnership and agreed to sell the misshapen produce.
While this movement might be a new trend here in the U.S., it's already gained serious momentum (势头) in Europe. In 2014, the EU announced the European Year Against Food Waste, with French supermarket chain Intermarché launching a very successful campaign called Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables and England's Waitrose selling weather blemished apples. In Portugal, a similar company to Imperfect Produce called Fruta Feia has also taken off.
Buying the unfortunate-looking produce should be attractive to consumers not only because of the affordability, but also because of the support it gives to farmers and the direct impact it has on reducing food waste and environmental pollution. When the discarded fruit and vegetables decompose, they release(释放) methane (CH.), a greenhouse gas. When released into the air, it is about 86 times as powerful as carbon dioxide (CO,) over a 20-year period. Waste is, in fact, the ugliest thing of all.
(1)、 What does the underlined word " discarded" in paragraph 1 probably mean?A、Thrown away. B、Harvested. C、Eaten up. D、Packaged.(2)、What is the purpose of Imperfect Produce?A、To make better profits. B、To sell unattractive goods. C、To get discounts from farmers. D、To compete with Whole Foods Market.(3)、 What can we learn about Europe from paragraph 3?A、It hardly produces misshapen fruit and vegetables. B、It has more successful food chains than theU.S. C、It is facing the serious problem of unfavorable weather. D、It solves the problem of ugly produce earlier than America.(4)、How does wasted produce harm the environment according to paragraph 4?A、It pollutes the farms. B、It gives off a bad smell. C、It contributes to global warming. D、It produces lots of carbon dioxide.
