(Text 10)
Currently, there are over 1，000 seed banks located all over the world. How does the seed bank work？⑳ First, scientists from all over the world collect endangered and useful wild species, put them in a paper or cotton bag to prevent them from getting bad, and send them to the seed bank. Once the seeds arrive, they're dried and preserved in a special room. After that, X-rays confirm that the seeds are undamaged and that no insects are hidden inside.⑱ The seeds are then frozen, stored in special containers, and then placed in huge freezers at 20 ℃ for long-term storage, which allows the seeds to be preserved for decades and reawakened when required.⑲
One of the most famous seed banks, Svalbard Global Seed Vault, now holds more than one million seed samples. It is located deep in a frozen Arctic mountain in Norway.
As the Earth is facing huge challenges like climate change, these seed banks are surely significant for the future of the world's food supply.

One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn't have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn't, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could—he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.
The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn't find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. Having been stuck in the snow for two days, Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls' survival show Man vs. Wild. That's where he learned the tips that saved his life. When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。本文介绍了尼古拉斯在突遇暴风雪时利用电视节目中的求生知识成功存活，在被困两天后被救援人员救起的故事。

There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle, or take a bus. But no matter which way we travel, we have to stick to the route (线路) the city planners laid down for us.
Parkour practitioners (跑酷练习者), however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs—since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it—there are 100，000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to the Guardian—and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination and balance. So the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.
But parkour practitioners themselves don't seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as “a lifestyle”， wrote the website Next Sport Star. “It's a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.”
Indeed, many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways”， wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.
It's great that the FIG wants to develop new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.

28．How do the parkour practitioners do parkour?
A．They move on as they wish.
B．They plan the way themselves.
C．They run faster than others.

29．Why does the FIG want to add parkour to the Olympics?
A．It's a special way of life.
B．It draws their attention.
C．It's good for people to keep healthy.
D．It needs some rules and instructions.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知，国际体操联合会已经注意到这项运动正吸引着越来越多的人以及跑酷有助于人们变得更强壮：它可以锻炼协调性和平衡性。因此，该组织正在考虑接受跑酷成为一项新运动，并在2024年将其加入奥运会。由此可知，国际体操联合会考虑将跑酷加入奥运会，因为它有助于人们保持健康。故选C。
30．What is the author's idea on parkour?
A．It is more formal than other sports.
B．It helps people to be creative.
C．It's worth adding to the sporting event.
D．It calls on people to work as a team.

What is success? I am not going to try to explain success. I think a precise meaning is impossible! Is it winning a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon, or being awarded a Nobel Prize? What else? I believe personal success could be anything at all—it does not have to involve public recognition. Who is more successful? A millionaire who is unhappy, or an unnoticed person, who has led a simple, quiet, sincere and happy life? The simplest definition of success, I think, is “to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it”．
The first step on the road to success starts with belief. Believe you can succeed and you will. Achieving success in whatever endeavor (努力) you choose may be the goal of life; because it gives you freedom from worry. Could that be?
Success means different things to every one of us. Some people believe it is measured in financial term; others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves. However, most people are motivated to a great extend by public recognition. How many people are really happy? How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives? Incidentally, the ability to imagine makes us different from animals.
Most important of all, I believe success is a matter of personal growth. If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter, I believe one is successful. Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success. I've got a very long way to go then!
Finally, always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination. It's the journey that really matters. Success is what you become in the often very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.
【解题导语】 什么是成功？本文诠释了它的定义。
32．What is personal success according to the author?
A．Winning public recognition.
B．Being an unhappy millionaire.
C．Something impossible to define simply.
D．Succeeding in doing what you want.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，作者认为个人的成功就是成功地做了你想做的事情。故选D。
33．Which plays an important role in your success?
A．Intelligence. B．Confidence.
C．Wealth. D．Kindness.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“The first step on the road to success starts with belief.Believe you can succeed and you will.”可知，成功的关键是“自信”。故选B。
34．What is the difference between animals and human beings according to the passage?
A．Belief. B．Freedom.
C．Imagination. D．Success.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Incidentally，the ability to imagine makes us different from animals.”可知，人类与动物的最大区别就是想象力。故选C。
35．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．What Is Success
B．No True Success
C．How to Be Successful
D．Success Is Reaching a Destination
A 解析：标题归纳题。根据文章第一段第一句“What is success？”和最后一段的内容，成功是一个过程，不仅仅是到达目的地的问题。过程更重要。成功是你在人生长河非常困难和危险的旅程中所取得的成就，以及全文内容可知本文在叙述什么是成功。故选A。
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many parents don't allow or help their children to learn to swim. 36. A child who has learned to swim has the confidence to attend activities about water, like parties. More importantly, the child is safer in and around water. Here are some tips for you to help your child learn to swim.
Introduce your child to water early in life. Children who become familiar with water in the early days are less likely to be afraid of water later. 37. You can build a private pool for your child or allow your child to use a public pool. Most public pools have special pools for the youngest children.
For older children who want to learn to swim but have a fear of water, introduce them to water gradually. Be sure not to avoid the pool when the water is cold and uncomfortable because you want the experience to be pleasant. What if your child only wants to hang his feet in water at first? 38.
Once your child has become comfortable with water, he will be able to begin the basics. 39. They'll be followed by learning how to float (浮起来), kick and so on. If you find it challenging to teach your child to swim, consider asking a private instructor to work with him.
40． Never allow a child who can't swim into the water alone and never leave a child unobserved in the water. Follow all pool and water safety recommendations at all times. And before swimming, check the possible dangers in the pools.
A．First a child must learn proper breathing skills.
B．It's also useful for adults to practice swimming.
C．When building it, you should avoid a deep pool.
D．So creating an environment with water is necessary.
E．But the ability to swim can be important for children.
F．Have patience, and finally he'll become confident enough to get in.
G．Whoever helps your child swim, let him swim in a safe water environment.
【解题导语】 文章介绍了一些父母可以帮助孩子学游泳的方法。
36．E 解析：此空设于段中，与上下文存在转折关系。上文说到家长不愿让自己的孩子学习游泳，但下文又提到会游泳的孩子有信心参加有关水的活动，故可知学游泳对孩子来说很重要。
37．D 解析：此空设于段中，与上文存在因果关系。因为孩子小时候熟悉水以后怕水的可能性就小了，所以说有必要给孩子创造一个有水的环境。
38．F 解析：此空设于段尾，与上文是问与答的关系。上文说如果你的孩子一开始学游泳时不下水只想将脚悬在水中怎样办，所以作为父母应该要有耐心。最后他会有足够的信心入水的。
39．A 解析：此空设于段中，与下文存在指代关系。下文中的They指代的是上文提到的学习水下呼吸技能。
40．G 解析：此空设于段首，是本段的主旨句。根据本段的内容可知，本段主要讲学游泳的孩子要有一个安全的水域环境。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Diane Ray was completely selfcentred and very spoilt (溺爱的). Her parents gave her everything that she wanted, knowing that she would throw a temper tantrum (发脾气) if they did not satisfy her desire. She would scream (尖叫) and lie on the floor drumming her heels. Finally her parents always gave in.
That was why she was alone on the beach, wearing an expensive swimsuit. It had taken a big tantrum to get her parents to buy it for her. They were back at the beachhouse, recovering from the tantrum she had thrown when they told her that it was too dangerous to go diving alone. “Dangerous？” she had said. “You just don't want me to have fun. I'm going and if you try to stop me, I'll scream.”
“What are you doing？” a voice asked. Diane jumped and looked around. She did not know that the man was there until he spoke.
“I'm going to dive，” she answered coldly.
“You shouldn't swim today，” the man advised. “There is a storm (风暴) coming up.”
“You should mind your own business！” Diane replied and walked into the gentle waves.
“If you go out there you'll be sorry，” the man called after her. But she did not want to reply.
Diane slipped into the water and dived happily until white waves began rolling in and it became harder to swim against the current (水流). Sea water hit against her face, making it difficult to breathe. Oh, why did I not listen to the advice?
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Frightened, she began to cry.____________________________________________________

One possible version：
Frightened, she began to cry. And she felt that she would slip beneath the surface. Then, she heard a calm voice, “Hold on! I'm coming.” With relief, she saw the man rowing a boat towards her. “I hope you've learned a lesson.You put us both in danger，” he shouted angrily, as he dragged her into the boat. Gratefully, Diane thanked him and ran towards the beachhouse.
After Diane closed her bedroom's door, she was lost in thought. The pictures of her throwing a temper tantrum appeared in her mind. Feeling ashamed, she went out and walked towards her mother. She made an apology to her mother for her bad behavior. She said: “I'm sorry, Mum. You and my dad have cared me a lot, showing your selfless love on me. But I didn't cherish it, even worse hurt you deeply. I promise I will listen to your words later.” With tears in eyes, they hugged tightly.
