There are many persons who help me a lot, among whom are my English teacher, Miss Liu. I still remember being asked in his class, but I fail to answer the question. I was so embarrassed that I burst into tear. She didn’t blame for me. Instead, she encouraged me with a smile, saying best way to face failure was to keep try and that no success could be achieved without failure. That she said struck me deep at that time, which made me study much harder than before. Now, as a senior three student, I make it my motto: Never give up, or you’ll succeed in time.

【題目】The color of animals is by no means a matter of chance; it depends on many considerations, but in the majority of cases tends to protect the animals from danger by making it less outstanding Perhaps, it may be said that if coloring is mainly protective, there ought to be fewer brightly colored animals. 【1】. The kingfisher itself, though so brightly colored, is not easy to see.

【2】. Thus, for instance, the lion, and the wild donkey are all sand—colored. “Indeed, in the desert, neither trees, brushwood, nor even undulation (起伏) of the surface afford the slightest protection to its enemies.【3】.” says an expert.

The next point is the color of the mature caterpillars(毛蟲), some of which are brown. This probably makes the caterpillar even more outstanding among the green leaves. What would you do if you were a big caterpillar? Why, like most other defenceless creatures, you would feed by night, and lie hidden by day. 【4】. When the morning light comes, they go down the stem of the food plant, and hide among dry sticks and leaves around the ground, and it is obvious that under such circumstances the brown color really becomes a protection. While we may say as a general rule that the large caterpillars feed by night and hide by day, it is by no means always the case that they are brown: some of them still remain green.【5】, and that the brown color is a later adaptation.

A. So do these caterpillars

B. Therefore, the color of the animals is bright

C. We can say that they formed a good habit

D. Desert animals are generally the color of the desert

E. We may conclude that the habit of hiding themselves by day comes first

F. However, there are some cases where vivid colors are themselves protective

G. So the color of birds, snakes and even smaller animals, is of one uniform sand color

【題目】 September 8, 2017, was an exciting date for Katey Walter Anthony. On this cool, windless evening she first visited Alaska’s Lake Esieh. Few people visit this remote area of wilderness, covered by frozen ground with spruce trees. Thousands of lakes dot the region. But Walter Anthony quickly realized that this lake was strange. As her boat moved across it, she came to a place where the water seemed to be boiling.

The water wasn’t warm. Bubbles of all sizes streamed up, popping at the surface. One bubble, as large as a softball, gave off a loud sound as it burst. The bubbles, which rose with such force that they slowly pushed her boat to the side, covered a part of the lake larger than a football field.

Walter Anthony leaned over the edge of the boat and collected some bubbles in a bottle. Then she struck a match and opened the bottle to release the gas she had just collected. The gas caught fire!

The fire dancing over the bottle confirmed her belief. It showed that the lake was flowing out a gas called methane. Each molecule(CH4) contains one atom of carbon bonded to four atoms of hydrogen. As a strong greenhouse gas, it can absorb radiation from the sun, warming the atmosphere. Methane, along with carbon dioxide, is a major source of global warming.

Scientists believe that the Arctic could release large amounts of methane over the next 100 years. Some of them worry that this methane will cause the world to warm more quickly than they had predicted.

Walter Anthony has spent nearly 20 years trying to understand this threat. She is trying to measure how much methane is coming out of warming Arctic lakes. And to her, Lake Esieh could be a warning. If other lakes respond the same way, the Arctic could be poised to flow out far more methane than anyone had expected. “We don’t even know how much gas is down there,” she says. “It’s a wild card.”

【1】Why is Lake Esieh considered strange?

A. The water there is boiling.

B. It is located in a remote area.

C. Bubbles there give off a loud sound.

D. It is flowing out a gas that can catch fire.

【2】What effect does the gas from the lake have on the environment?

A. It warms the water of the Arctic lakes.

B. It pollutes the fresh air in the Arctic.

C. It takes in the sunlight and holds the Arctic ice.

D. It absorbs carbon dioxide and gives off oxygen.

【3】How does Walter Anthony feel about the gas methane?

A. It is amusing.B. It is beneficial.C. It is a blessing.D. It is a threat.

【4】Where might this text come from?

A. A science fiction.B. A tourist brochure.

C. A science report.D. A geography textbook.

“Wait a minute,” the old soldier answered, beginning to put his hand in his pocket. “I’ll see 【4】 I can help you.”

【題目】Some people love eating food right after it is cooked. I prefer food just taken out from the freezer. Fruit, candies, nuts, chocolate, cake with buttercream frosting(糖霜), even peas, all of them taste delicious when frozen. In fact, I often eat them that way.

I was a kid when I picked up the habit. In my family, lots of things were thrown into the freezer — finally, two freezers — to prevent them from going bad. Among them were some of the candies my sisters and I had collected on Halloween.

If we eat when they are still warm, we’ll find ourselves taking the cookies more than we should. It’s better if we can put them into the freezer and wait. That way we’ll eat less and enjoy them more because they are hard and chewing becomes a slower, more patient effort. That’s the point about frozen buttercream frosting. Put it in your mouth at room temperature, and it’s gone very quickly. But when it’s frozen, you can enjoy the taste much longer as it melts(融化) in your mouth.

The freezer treats a lot of fruit kindly. Take frozen grapes for example, I keep a bowl of grapes in my freezer. They become a little icy, and somehow their sweetness is improved. They are perfect and healthy dessert(點心). This is the same with oranges, apples, bananas…You might think bananas would get superhard when frozen. Wrong! They become cool, creamy and sweet. If you have wisely covered some or all of the bananas with melted chocolate before putting them into the freeze, they will have a double taste.

As long as you aren’t eating anything that truly has to be hot, go ahead and experiment.

【1】What is the passage intended to tell us?

A. Fruit should be frozen before one eats it.

B. Frozen food is better than hot food.

C. The author prefers frozen food.

D. Hot food is not healthy.

【2】The author began to enjoy frozen food when he _____________.

A. was young B. learned cooking

C. got married D. got a fever

【3】Why does the author NOT advise us to take hot cookies?

A. Because they need more time to prepare.

B. Because the taste is not good when they are hot.

C. Because they are too delicious to avoid our overeating.

D. Because we may eat them quickly and enjoy them less.

【4】What does the underlined word ＂it＂ in the third paragraph refer to?

A. The taste. B. Buttercream.

C. The cookie. D. Frozen buttercream frosting.
