2．Sidi Ifni is my hometown，which is an ancient West African town．It sits on the coast of Morocco．Here，near the bone-dry Sahara Desert，there never seems to be enough water to go around．For many women and girls in my hometown，carrying water from distant wells has become a day-long chore．
However，half the year，water surrounds my hometown．There's just one big problem：it's locked into heavy fog．But imagine catching that water，the way spider webs get water drops in the fog．In fact，people in my hometown have figured out how to do just that．Some have set up tall nets high above dusty-dry villages．Fog condenses onto the nets，and then runs into tanks．
Still，fog-catching is far from perfect．The nets need wind to push the fog into them，so the nets must be vertical．And that means they can get blown over．Plus，they work only when the fog is very heavy．
Luckily，a scientist named Catarina Esteves came to help．Esteves grew up on the coast of Portugal．There she lived near the sea．Indeed，she used to regularly hang out at the beach．In college，she started out studying chemistry．However，with time going by，she changed her focus to materials science，which combines engineering with chemistry．After earning her PhD，she became a researcher and teacher at Eindhoven．
This researcher likes the fact that she can use materials engineering to solve real-world problems．Eventually，the team led by her produced a fabric （織物） with remarkable moisture-capturing prop-erties （水分捕捉性能）．When Esteves heard about the idea of fog-catching，she thought，"What if we were able to use this fabric to draw water from fog？"This fabric could take in water when the air is cool and misty，and then release it as that fog gives way to hot，sunny skies．
Right now，her team's smart fabric is still in the experimental phase．And people in my town can't wait to use it．
（1）What problem do people in the author's hometown face？
A．Being often troubled by fog．
B．Lacking water all year round．
C．Having no natural water resources at all．
D．Having too much chore for women and girls．
（2）What does the underlined word"that"in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A．Using tanks to collect water．
B．Collecting water from spider webs．
C．Catching water from fog using nets．
D．Making use of dense fog in various ways．
（3）What does the author want to show in Paragraph 3？
A．The villagers there need more water．
B．The villagers aren't really that smart
C．Catching water from fog isn't a good idea．
D．The way to catch water from fog needs to be improved．
（4）What did Catarina Esteves want to do after hearing about fog-catching？
A．To change her focus to materials science．
B．To solve the problem of a lack of water worldwide．
C．To experiment with the fabric her team produced in fog-catching．
D．To create a fabric with remarkable moisture-capturing properties．組卷：30引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．"America and England are two nations divided by a common language，"Winston Churchill once said．It is widely known that there are differences between American and British English，but what about the cultures？
One of the common greetings in the UK is to say to someone，"Hey，you alright？"or"Hey，you OK？"These terms are not socially used in America．On the other hand，in America，these terms can be considered as asking whether there is something wrong with other people's health or suggesting that there is an obvious reason why they may not be OK．Therefore，it is better for you to greet an American by saying"What's going on？"or"How are you？"
Americans have the tendency to exaggerate （夸張） much more than British people．Americans like using numerous superlative （最高級(jí)的） words and vivid descriptions even in an average situation．Many Americans also tend to be highly positive and downplay negative things．This may be confusing because，in an effort to be polite，an American may not tell you directly their opinions．
We all know that there are differences between American English and British English．In addition to the vocabulary differences in spoken language and written language，there are differences in body language．Body language contributes to conversation and interaction as much as verbal communication．Generally speaking，Americans tend to shake hands firmly with people they meet．However，some Americans can be more touchy-feely than British people and may be more likely to hug you as a greeting （maybe before you-feel close enough to give them a hug!）．
It is common for Americans to keep direct eye contact with the speaker and to smile during the conversation．This can express people's attentiveness and an interest in the conversation．Many also"speak with their hands"，expressing themselves through a wide range of gestures．
（1）Why may people get confused when talking with American people？
A．Because they are not good at expressing themselves．
B．Because they don't express what they think clearly．
C．Because they tend to say against their true meaning．
D．Because they always refuse to tell people their opinions．
（2）What can we know from the passage？
A．British people like hugging others when greeting．
B．Body language can't express as much as what people say．
C．American people like using body language to help express themselves．
D．Looking people into their eyes is considered rude during a conversation．
（3）What's the main idea of this passage？
A．The differences between American culture and British culture．
B．The differences between American English and British English．
C．The differences in body language between Americans and British people．
D．The differences in American English between different regions within the USA．組卷：33引用：1難度：0.5

It's time to say goodbye．I can't help recalling those beautiful days we spent them together．You are the very person who gives me the hand when I need help．You are the more considerate person who knows exactly that I need．Do you still remember that night two years ago？When I suddenly fall ill，it was you who carried me on your back to the hospital．You took well care of me when I was in hospital．Later，you managed help me with my lessons．With your help，I would have failing in the exams．I still have hundreds of story to share with you．I still have thousands of blessings for you．May all your dreams come true!May our friendship last forever!組卷：46引用：1難度：0.5
