【題目】For the rest of the week, Joe practiced kicking football hard, concentrating on his each kicking. Sometimes Joe hit the ball straight. Sometimes it went wide again. But it seemed that the more he believed he could do it, the easier it was.
“I’m not a joke now,” thought Joe. “Not a joke at all!” But a practice wasn’t like a real match and his boots were still not giving him enough power.
He should have told his mum and dad about it straight away but, of course, he didn’t. He was always shy to ask for things.
Finally, late on the night before the match, he could hold himself back no longer.
“Dad, I haven’t got any proper football boots …” he said.
“Ah,” said Dad, “I might be able to help you there.”
At the words, Joe was excited. New boots! He thought. “He’s got me some new boots! He must have got me them for Christmas,” thought Joe, “But now that I’m in an important match, he’s giving them to me early. Wonderful!”
Dad went upstairs. Joe excitedly tried to watch the football preview on TV. He wasn’t playing for Manchester United or Liverpool, of course, but he was part of it all now; part of the thrill. His legs twitched with every kick on the screen. His head shook with every centre. And all the time, his mind was racing ahead to his own great game the next morning, in his super new boots.
It was ages before his dad came downstairs again. He put a large pair of shiny black boots in front of Joe.
As he stared at them, the boy felt as if someone had poured ice into his brain. The boots were awful!
“Good, eh?” said his dad.
Joe found it hard to speak. He had never seen anything like them before.
They weren’t low-cut, soft or…. They had big, hard square toes, great big long studs and they were high at the ankle. They were his dad’s old rugby boots, polished up.
Joe was filled with disappointment. They had been good boots, quality boots. And they were his size. Joe’s feet were enormous for his age. But he could imagine what everyone at school would say.
“ …,” he finally gasped, “ should be exactly my size.”
“At least I won’t slip,” he thought, “the studs are like sharks’ teeth!” Then he couldn’t help thinking about those in Ashton’s windows, which he had been longing to get.
That night, he went to bed early but he didn’t sleep much because he was so terrified of being late. He woke at 1.17, 2.49, 3.37, 3.43, 4.55. The numbers jumped off the big face of his digital clock. Then 10.40!
Ahhh!!!
He jumped out of bed. He seized the clock. 6.03! 10.40 had been only a dream. At eight, breakfast time, it was raining like mad.
“Might get called off, Joe,” suggested his mum.
“Never, Mother. …will not be like cricket,” said his dad. “Will take a lot to stop football.”
Joe checked everything for the tenth time. He put his boots at the very bottom of his large bag, well out of sight. He had decided to put them on when nearly everyone had left the changing room. Then his classmates wouldn’t make fun of him. Soon, it was time to set out.
“Good luck!” said his mum, giving him a kiss.
His dad had his coat on, ready for his morning deliveries. “Want a lift to school?” he said. “I hope to get down to watch you when I’ve done the trip to Eccles.”
“Okay,” said Joe.
As Dad’s van carried him down the hill to school, Joe was thinking about the boots. If only … but no, he had to stop that kind of thinking. It doesn’t matter about the boots, he told himself.

試題分析:這是一篇記敘文閱讀,主要講述了一個熱愛踢足球的男孩Joe因為要參加學(xué)校的比賽而向父親要一雙好的足球球靴,然而父親給了他一雙完全不合人意的球靴,讓他很失望,但又沒有說出自己的想法。最后帶著這雙球靴去了學(xué)校,并安慰自己踢不踢得好球不是鞋子的問題。
【1】細(xì)節(jié)分析題。根據(jù)第二段“I’m not a joke now,” thought Joe. “Not a joke at all!” But a practice wasn’t like a real match and his boots were still not giving him enough power可以判斷出,Joe之前常常因為踢球技術(shù)不佳而被同學(xué)們嘲笑,故選B。
【2】細(xì)節(jié)分析題。選項D中Joe明顯是在安慰自己,至少穿著這雙球靴不會摔倒,沒有反映出他的失望之情,而A.像被人潑了一盆冷水;B.唉聲嘆氣;C.想象同學(xué)們會怎么說自己都反映出了他的失望和沮喪,故選D。
【3】細(xì)節(jié)分析題。根據(jù)He woke at 1.17, 2.49, 3.37, 3.43, 4.55可知,Joe在這5個時間段醒了,所以他一共醒了5次,故選C。
【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)A、C、D三項的句意和語境來看,啊、A、C、D兩項講述的應(yīng)該是比賽,而B選項中,Joe想要表達(dá)的是這雙鞋也許會合腳,可以用they指代這雙鞋,故選B。
【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)His dad had his coat on, ready for his morning deliveries可以推斷,父親應(yīng)該是做著一項騎車送貨上門的工作,故選D。
【6】歸納分析題。結(jié)合全文來看,Joe從頭到尾都在強調(diào)自己需要一雙好的球靴,希望擁有一雙合適的球靴,故選C。

Sometimes the new classes learned rapidly, but sometimes they were slowly. One day, one of the classes has been studying for minutes while Miss Cooper suddenly asked, “What is water?” Luckily, nobody could answer the question, so Miss Cooper felt sad. The moment Danny, who was not one of the brightest boys in the class, raised hand, Miss Cooper said in an exciting voice, “Please, Danny!”
“Water is a liquid what has no color until you wash your hands in it, then it turns grey,” replied the boy.

【題目】Many science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or e-DNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare or invasive species, study bio-diversity or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.
Ryan Kelly is an ecologist at the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs at the University of Washington in Seattle. He works in a laboratory there with other researchers. They study the genetic material released by living creatures. “Essentially we can take a sample of soil or air — and in our case — water, and we can sequence(to arrange the order of genes)the DNA out of it and tell you what is there.”
Ryan Kelly says he and his research team are studying water samples collected from Puget Sound. He says the cost of gene sequencing has “been reduced greatly in recent years.” That makes DNA testing more widely available.
Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.
Caren Goldberg heads the new e-DNA lab at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. She is one of the first biologists in the northwestern United States to take the technology from the testing phase to actually using it.
“It is extremely useful for species that are really hard to find. I have spent many hours looking for species that I was pretty sure were there — looking under rocks, looking in water, doing all kinds of surveys.”
Caren Goldberg sees e-DNA as a way to get answers more efficiently, safely and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on diving deep, netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.
“We’re absolutely at this point where proof-of-concept has been established. I don't think everyone necessarily is ready for it yet, but I think the majority of people are.”
This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the e-DNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden tree-frogs. And in Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian diseases.
Ms. Goldberg has used e-DNA testing to confirm the local extinction, disappearance, of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mud-snail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.
Now, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management wants Caren Goldberg to look for the Columbia spotted frog in two other western states. The rare amphibian is a candidate for the federal government's threatened species list.
Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.
A related research goal is to show how long environmental DNA can last and how far it can travel in different environments.
【1】Paragraph One is intended as _____ of the passage.
A. the main idea
B. the introduction of the topic
C. a supporting detail of the main idea
D. a contrast of the main idea
【2】What has made E-DNA magic is that with E-DNA_____.
A. you are likely to find information about a species with a little air, water, or soil
B. some kind of high-tech device can be used to test for breathable air or signs of life
C. you are able to get answers more efficiently, safely though with more damage
D. the cost of gene sequencing has been reduced greatly in recent years.
【3】So far, the technique of E-DNA has NOT helped scientists search for ______.
A. wild Yangtze giant soft-shell turtles
B. endangered golden tree-frogs
C. the local extinction of a leopard frog
D. the spread of the New Zealand mud-snail
【4】Despites its advantage, we are still not sure of something about E-DNA. That is _____ .
A. the lasting time and the spreading area of E-DNA
B .the lasting time of E-DNA and too many species for E-DNA
C. too many candidates for E-DNA and the lasting time of E-DNA
D. robots and old-fashioned field work’s replacing E-DNA
【5】The passage can be sorted as a(n) _____.
A. science fictionB. experiment report
C. science reportD. bio-diversity discovery
