2．You probably know about the Titanic，but it was actually just one of three cutting-edge ocean ships back in the day.The Olympic class ships were built by the Harland & Wolff ship makers in Northern Ireland for the White Star Line Company.The Olympic class included the Olympic，the Britannic and the Titanic.What you may not know is that the Titanic wasn't even the flagship of this class.All in all，the Olympic class ships were wonders of sea engineering，but they seemed doomed （注定） to suffer disasters.
The Olympic launched first in 1910，followed by the Titanic in 1911，and lastly the Britannic in 1914.The ships had nine decks，and White Star Line decided to focus on making them the most luxurious ships on the water.
Stretching 269.13 meters，the Olympic class ships were wonders of naval technology，and everyone thought that they would continue to be so for quite some time.However，all suffered terrible accidents on the open seas but the Olympic was the only one to survive and maintain a successful career.The Titanic was the first to sink afterfamously hitting a huge iceberg in 1912.Following this disaster，the Britannic hit a naval mine in 1916 and subsequently sank as well.
Each ship was coal-powered by several boilers constantly kept running by exhausted crews below deck.Most recognizable of the ship designs are the ship's smoke stacks（ 煙囪），but the fourth stack was actually just artistic in nature and served no functional purpose.While two of these ships sank，they were all designed with double hulls （船體） believed to make them "unsinkable"，perhaps a mistaken idea that led to the Titanic's and the Britannic's miserable end.
The Olympic suffered two crashes with other ships and went on to serve as a hospital ship and troop transport in World War I.Eventually，she was taken out of service in 1935，ending the era of the luxurious Olympic class ocean liners.
（1）Why does the author mention "the Titanic" at the beginning？
A．To tell its unknown story.
B．To remind readers of its glory.
C．To introduce the Olympic class ships.
D．To arouse readers' interest in the ship.
（2）What maybe led to the pitiful end of the Titanic and the Britannic？
A．Their unscientific designs.
B．Their captains' misjudgment.
C．The assumption that they possessed the latest technology.
D．The belief that they could never sink with a double-layer body.
（3）What can we learn about the Olympic ship？
A．It performed safely on the sea.
B．It had a career of more than 30 years.
C．It was the model of modern engineering.
D．It was used for multiple purposes.

3．If you look up at the sky on a clear and dark night，you'll see more stars than your eyes can count.Most of these stars have planets，similar to our own，orbiting them.With so many celestial bodies floating out in space，you can't help but question whether other forms of life exist in the universe.And if that's the case，is it possible to contact them？
Science is still somewhat divided on this issue.Currently，no evidence exists to suggest that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe.Yet with an estimated one trillion planets in our galaxy alone，it seems highly likely that Earthlings aren't the only intelligent creatures out there.Some claim that life can only develop under perfect circumstances，and Earth is perhaps the only example of this.Other scientists object to this claim，and point out that even on Earth，life can find a way under the most extreme circumstances.
Some people believe that aliens have already visited our planet，but this information is being kept secret by governments.The most famous incident of this kind occurred in Roswell，New Mexico in 1947.On that date，many residents reported seeing an unusual flying disc streak through the sky，before it crashed in a field.When the military heard about the crash，they quickly sealed off the area.A few hours later，the army base announced that it had recovered a flying disk.Shortly after，this statement was retracted and it was said that it was a weather balloon that crashed.However，years later one local mortician even claimed that the military had him secretly perform an autopsy（解剖）on a dead alien body.
Others believe that there certainly are other life for ms out there，but the distance between us is too great.Even if we could somehow create a spaceship that travels at the speed of light，it would still probably take several lifetimes to reach them.Then again，we might never have to do this if aliens reach us first.
（1）Why do some scientists think there is life on other planets？
A．Because an unusual flying disc was ever witnessed.
B．Because life exists despite extreme conditions as those on the Earth do.
C．Because the government's statement seemed suspicious.
D．Because there are a great number of planets in the universe.
（2）What does the underlined word "retracted" in paragraph 3 mean？
A．Examined again to guarantee the correctness.
B．Emphasized again to persuade people.
C．Formally taken back what has been said.
D．Seriously criticized due to poor evidence
（3）Which of the following might be the best title for the text？
A．Are we alone in the universe？
B．Is it possible to contact aliens？
C．Intelligent life in the universe.
D．Planets floating out in space.
（4）How does the author sound in the passage？
A．Objective.
B．Humorous.
C．Cautious.
D．Anxious.組卷：7引用：2難度：0.5

9．Be quiet." No one actually ever said that to me - in fact，it was usually the opposite. "Speak up." "What did you say？" "I couldn't understand you." But every time someone told me to be louder，to be clearer.I wanted to shut my mouth and never open it again.
Years of living with a lisp（口齒不清）had taught me that it was better to say nothing than to speak and risk being misunderstood，leading to embarrassment and awkwardness.As a result of my silence，I felt distanced from most of my peers，having only a few people I felt were friends. "Kathryn？Oh，she's quiet." That's what most people would say when they thought of me. "Quiet"might as well have been part of my name.I was okay with that.I didn't need to be heard.
September of last year that all changed.
I started my first day of creative writing class with Ms.Haist.She is one of those teachers you don't feel frightened to approach；you know she will help you if you need it.I had expected to fill out plot diagrams and learn the proper way to punctuate dialogue.However，every day we would be given a different writing prompt（提示詞） and then，if we wished，we could share what we had written with the class.I remember sitting and listening to others read their work，and I distinctly remember thinking：That will never be me.I'll never have the courage to do that.
Then，one day in October，I was really pleased with what I had written，so pleased that I wanted to share.I remember my heart pounding in my chest as I raised my hand to read，and those urgent little voices in my mind listing all the reasons why it wasn't a good idea：They won't understand jye.ai.You have a lisp，remember？Besides，your writing isn't that good.Be quiet.Be quiet.I was about to withdraw my hand when I met Ms.Haist's encouraging eyes.
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。
I swallowed the voices down and let my real voice come out.______
Soon I was reading out loud nearly every day.______組卷：10引用：4難度：0.5
