第一部分 閱讀（共兩節(jié) 滿分37.5分）第一節(jié)（共4小題；每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。

• 1．Lost cities that have been found The White City
     In 2015，a team of explorers to Honduras in search of "the Lost City of the Monke God" led to the discovery of the White City.They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes，vicious jaguars and deadly insects.It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors（征服者） occupied their homeland in the16th century.
     Canopus and Heracleion
     Modern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion- where Queen Cleopatra often visited.But the cities weren't found until 1992，when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries.Artifacts（史前器物）showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network，which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt.
     Machu Picchu
     A Yale professor discovered "the Lost City in the Clouds" in 1911.A combination of palaces，plazas，temples and homes，Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule.The city，which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons，was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries keeping it so well preserved.
     Troy
     The ancient city of Troy in homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild.But in 1871，explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered（層疊）on top of each other，the earliest dating back to about 5，000 years before.It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake，not a wooden horse.
  
  （1）Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century？

  
  A．To survive the war.
  B．To search for a lost city.
  C．To protect their country.
  D．To avoid dangerous animals.
  （2）Which of the following was related to a royal family member？

  
  A．The White City.
  B．Canopus and Heracleion.
  C．Machu Picchu.
  D．Troy.
  （3）What can we learn about Troy？

  
  A．It was built by Homer.

• 2．For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue，N.Y.，today is speech day，and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn.The 8-year-old is the joker of the class.With shining dark eyes，he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
     But he's nervous. "I'm here to tell you today why you should …should…" Chris trips on the "-ld，" a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.His teacher，Thomas Whaley，is next to him，whispering support. "…Vote for …me …" Except for some stumbles，Chris is doing amazingly well.When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion，Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
     A son of immigrants，Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago.Whaley recalls（回想起） how at the beginning of the year，when called upon to read，Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
     Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience.What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student，" Whaley explains，"especially for a student who is learning English as their new language，to feel confident enough to say，'I don't know，but I want to know.'"
     Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.The answer broke his heart.Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public.He wants these kids to learn to boast（夸耀） about themselves.
     "Boasting about yourself，and your best qualities，" Whaley says， "is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident."
  
  （1）What made Chris nervous？

  
  A．Telling a story.
  B．Making a speech.
  C．Taking a test.
  D．Answering a question.
  （2）What does the underlined word "stumbles" in paragraph 2 refer to？

  
  A．Improper pauses.
  B．Bad manners.
  C．Spelling mistakes.
  D．Silly jokes.
  （3）We can infer that the purpose of Whaley's project is to

  .
  A．help students see their own strengths
  B．a(chǎn)ssess students' public speaking skills
  C．prepare students for their future jobs
  D．inspire students' love for politics
  （4）Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher？

  
  A．Humorous.
  B．Ambitious.
  C．Caring.

• 3．Most people hate change，which is sad since We often go through intense changes in life.And for some of us，even the smallest changes can upset our day.So the question is：Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard？
     Fear of change is nothing new.Over a century ago，the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city：the Eiffel Tower.In fact，the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested its construction.As strange as it may seem，their anger was completely natural.They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made，so they became angry.
     But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully.Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make：which school to attend，which job to take，whom to marry.Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don't know how those changes will affect our future.
     People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with change is to be flexible.When they are flexible，people can adapt to new situations more easily.Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before.Those who oppose change，especially with technology in the workplace，may find themselves out of a job.
     When change comes，and you have no choice but to face it，embrace it.A positive attitude helps a lot.In fact，the change may turn out to be the best thing for you.That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one.You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to.Don't merely focus on how you feel about change；instead decide to accept the change.The change is the reality，and it's up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know - your next change may be your life's Eiffel Tower!
  
  （1）Why did the building of the Eiffel Tower make the Parisians unhappy？

  
  A．Because they didn't like the design of the Eiffel Tower.
  B．Because they couldn't avoid accepting the Eiffel Tower.
  C．Because it was no use building the Eiffel Tower.
  D．Because the Eiffel Tower seemed strange.
  （2）How should we overcome negative emotions that the changes bring？

  
  A．We are not supposed to face the changes and let them alone.
  B．We should actively accustom ourselves to the new circumstance.
  C．We should not take the changes seriously and avoid them as much as possible.
  D．We should know that the changes merely bring us bad influence.
  （3）What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean？

  
  A．The change will probably make you fail like the Eiffel Tower.
  B．The change is like the Eiffel Tower which is not good for our future life.
  C．Your future life is never known just like the Eiffel Tower unknown to the Parisians.
  D．Your future life is likely to be a great achievement due to the change.
  （4）What is the best title for the passage？

  
  A．The Psychology of Change
  B．The ways to Overcome the Fear
  C．Changes That Disturb Us
  D．The Bad Effect of Changes

• 4．A description of the threat hanging over the world's mammals，reptiles，amphibians and other life forms has been published by the well-known scientific journal，Nature.A special analysis carried out by the journal indicates that an astonishing 41% of all amphibians on the planet now face extinction while 26% of mammal species and 13% of birds are similarly threatened.
     In each case，the finger of blame points directly at human activities The continuing spread of agriculture is destroying millions of hectares of wild habitats every year，leaving animals without homes，while the introduction of newly-come species，often helped by humans，is also damaging native populations.At the same time，pollution and overfishing are destroying ocean ecosystems.
     "Habitat destruction，pollution or overfishing either kill off wild creatures and plants or leave them badly weakened，" said Derek Tittensor，an ocean ecologist at the World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge. "The trouble is that in coming decades，the additional threat of worsening climate change will become more and more common and will then kill off these survivors."
     The problem，according to Nature，is worsened because of the huge gaps in scientists' knowledge about the planet's biodiversity.Evaluations of the total number of species of animals and plants alive vary from 2 million to 50 million.In addition，evaluations of current rates of species' disappearances vary from 500 to 36，000 a year. "That is the real problem we face，" added Tittensor. "The scale of uncertainty is huge."
     In the end，however，the data indicate that the world is heading cruelly towards a mass extinction - which is defined as one involving a loss of 75% of species or more. This could arrive in less than a hundred years or could take a thousand，depending on extinction rates.
  
  （1）What's the main idea of the first paragraph？

  
  A．Figures about some wild animals are astonishing.
  B．"Nature" is the famous journal around the world.
  C．Many endangered species are close to extinction.
  D．Some rare species have appeared around the world.
  （2）From the text we know that the future threat to creatures and plants is

  .
  A．destruction of habitats
  B．overfishing and pollution
  C．the worsening climate change
  D．human activities
  （3）What is the real problem we are facing now according to paragraph 4？

  
  A．The killing of wild creatures and cutting of trees.
  B．The global warming caused by human beings.
  C．The destruction of ocean ecosystem by pollution.
  D．Evaluation of current rates of species' disappearances.
  （4）What does "This" in the last sentence refer to

  ？
  A．Mass extinction
  B．Extinction rates
  C．Extinction time
  D．75% of species or more

• 5．Teens love to argue their viewpoints.（1）

  .This powerful skill gives kids the opportunity to be heard and helps them think before speaking while presenting their views in a calm，reasonable manner.This skill is never used in the heat of the moment when anyone is upset.（2）

  .Once that's established，here are the steps to follow：
     Look at the person.You need to be in person and face-to-face for this to work well，not texting or social media.
     （3）

  .Make sure to speak calmly and slowly，and keep a comfortable distance between yourself and other person.
     Say "I understand how you feel".This starts the discussion off on a positive note.Be sincere in your desire to come to an agreement，and admit the other people's right to an opinion.
     Tell why your feel differently.Get your "ducks in a row"，which means getting everything properly organized and under control.（4）

  .You should also use as many details as you can.In this way，the other person is more likely to accept what you say.
     Listen to the other person attentively.Give the other person time to present his or her views.（5）

  
     Make sure to practice several times before your child actually needs to use the skill.Over time，you'll find this skill calms things down in your house and equips your teens to navigate differences of opinion wherever they may be - and that's a win-win for everyone!
  
  A.Use a pleasant voice.
  B.Don't act before thinking.
  C.You should always think before you speak.
  D.However，listen attentively at first.
  E.Don't interrupt，look bored or argue.
  F.Teach your teens to disagree properly!
  G.Instead，wait till everyone has cooled down and is ready to listen.
