And there in the stable, while all of the other horses ate grass, I remember drinking my mother’s milk.‎ Usually, in the morning and afternoon, I would run with my mother or play with other young horses in the field. Sometimes, this play became too dangerous and my mother would come and take me away.‎ The farmer was a good horse owner. He took good care of us all, but he seemed to prefer my mother to the other horses. And because I was her baby, he started to like me as well. Pretty soon I was eating grass like all of the other horses. Because I no longer needed her milk, and because she was his favorite horse, the farmer quickly put my mother back to work, pulling his carriage to and from the market, always coming back in the early evening. ‎ One evening I was playing with the other horses when my mother called me over to her. She told me that she never again wanted to see me playing so roughly with the others. I must grow up to be as wonderful as my ancestors, always working hard, walking proudly, and never hurting others. I promised her that I would do as she said. However, I had to admit that it was sometimes difficult to be kind to people like Dick, the worker-boy. He was always throwing rocks at us when he should have been picking fruit. We had to running around trying to avoid the rocks. Luckily, one day the farmer caught Dick behaving this way. The letter was given some money and then left the farm.

His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success，James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.‎ In 2012, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary(记录片)film, named James Cameron's Deepsea Challenger 3D.‎ In James Cameron's fantasy films，such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colours and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.‎ ‎“I felt like I had gone to another planet,” Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles below the surface. “I really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.”Cameron captured(获取)the moonlike landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.‎ James Cameron's Deepsea Challenger 3D tells the story of Cameron's journey. It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean's greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron's world when he makes his dream a reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.‎ It's an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.‎ ‎24. When did James Cameron become interested in the ocean?‎ ‎ A. When he was in his childhood. ‎ ‎ B. After his films The Abyss and Titanic.‎ ‎ C. After he achieved great success in movies.‎ ‎ D. When he began to explore the deep sea alone.‎ ‎25. What is the unexplored ocean like?‎ ‎ A. Colourful and dangerous. B. Boring and deserted.‎ ‎ C. White and attractive. D. Small and dull.‎ ‎26. What can we know about James Cameron's Deepsea Challenger 3D?‎ ‎ A. It is a film about the exploration of ocean creatures.‎ ‎ B. It is a story about Cameron's filmmaking dream.‎ ‎ C. It aims to attract more people to explore the deep sea.‎ ‎ D. It tells us about James' journey into Challenger Deep.‎ ‎27. What is the best title for this passage?‎ ‎ A. The Great Dream of a Film Director ‎ ‎ B. A film Director Exploring Deep Sea ‎ C. James Cameron and His Documentary Film D. The First Person to Make Films About the Deep Sea D You can't always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That's why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain－ sensing umbrella.‎ The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.‎ ‎―Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞篷)built into a street lamp，‖ he said.‎ The Lampbrella is a standard－looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built－in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.‎ In addition to the rain sensor, there's also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella.After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.‎ According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed(安装) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.‎ While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.‎ ‎32.For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?‎ A.To predict a heavy rain.‎ B.To check the weather forecast.‎ C.To protect people from the rain.‎ D.To remind people to take an umbrella.‎ ‎33.What do we know from Belyaev's words in Paragraph 2?‎ A.His creation was inspired by an experience.‎ B.It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.‎ C.Street lamps are protected by canopies.‎ D.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.‎ ‎34．What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?‎ A. Its moving speed. B. Its appearance.‎ C. Its installation. D. Its safety.‎ ‎35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A.The designer will open a company to promote his product.‎ B.The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.‎ C.The designer is confident that his creation is practical.‎ D.The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow. ‎ 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Money Matters Parents should help their children understand money.    　36　   So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.‎ ‎1.

However, there exist some problems. Some students in our school lose their temper easily because of anxiety or study burden. What’s worse, they sometimes quarrel with others, and even turn a deaf ear to their parents and teachers, which is very disappointing.‎ In my opinion, we students should make every effort to improve the situation. First, we show trust to our parents out of respect and have a heart-to-heart talk with them, if possible. Second, when we are feeling upset, we can communicate more with our friends or teachers. It is likely that they can understand us better and give us some reasonable advice.‎ ‎【听力材料】‎ ‎(Text 1)‎ W: I’m sorry; sir. I didn’t finish the job as required.‎ M: Oh, no, Sally, don’t say sorry.

I think you’ll enjoy today’s trip, which will offer some wonderful views as well as some close up looks at the area’s plants and animals. We’ll begin with a gentle climb in this open forest before taking a short downhill walk to the river. You’ll see unusually tall trees in that area and will cross the river on a big piece of wood. Our pass from there will go north. We’ll pass through a forest, then a large field, and cross a stream as we continue our way up to Summit Lake. The lake is small and surrounded with forest, and there’re lots of fish just waiting to be caught. We’ll stop for lunch at the lake. You’ll have an hour to relax and take photos before we start our return trip on a different path, which will take us past three small lakes before the long, steep hike back down to the river. Our last mile will be another steep uphill climb to the trail’s end, just 100 yards from where we’re about to begin. ‎
