2．It was June 14 and the last day of middle school had arrived.
I had spent the past couple of months trashing and treasuring all the things that I have accumulated in my classroom over the past 19 years.Looking into my classroom，you can see about two dozen boxes and bins inside，piled nearly three-quarters high to the ceiling，all packed and ready for the big move.The 22- million-dollar restoration work was only days away from starting and we were instructed that everything must go.
My parents Michael and Donna，wife Laura and newborn baby Summer had arrived that day.The students had heard so much about my daughter and were excited to meet her for the first time.My mother was there to help organize my classroom nearly 19 years ago and hadn't seen it since.My father had visited on a few occasions，as had my wife.That day marked not only the end of an era for me，but the dawning of a new beginning.
The day before，I had thrown a party for my students.The feelings were mixed，as I knew that this would be the farewell （告別） party in my classroom of 19 years and the last time I would see all of these students together.I thought back to when they were all in middle school and would visit me in my classroom on my birthday.They made it an annual tradition.I will treasure these moments for the rest of my life.
Change，like sunshine，can be a friend or a foe （敵人），a blessing or a curse，a dawn or a dusk.I've learned over the years in working with over 2，000 children that looking at things from an optimistic perspective and taking the time to foster relationships with people make the world a happier and safer place.No matter what a person's life circumstances may be，you can be the change in their life that will bring them a sense of self-worth，which will ultimately provide them with the opportunity to become who they are meant to be.They might go on to change the world.
（1）Why did the author pack his things in the classroom？

A．To explain the family's relations with his students.
B．To demonstrate the family's involvement in his job.

3．200，000 miles from Earth，the crew of the third manned mission to the Moon faced an astronaut's worst nightmare：an explosion on the spacecraft.It's what happened in the Oscar-winning film Apollo 13，but it's also a true story.
The lift-off of Apollo 13 took place on 11th April 1970.Two days into the mission，the three-man crew were in big trouble.They had been carrying out routine checks when there was a loud bang.Warning lights were starting to flash.Looking out into space，they could see a trail of gas-the spacecraft was leaking oxygen.They sent out a short message to the scientists back on Earth： "Houston，we've had a problem here."At first，they thought that a meteor（流星）had hit them，but they later found out that a short circuit had caused an oxygen container to explode.Whatever the cause，they knew there was no time to lose.Their electricity supply in the command module（指令艙）depended on that oxygen and pretty soon they would run out of both.
The only solution was to move into the lunar module-the section of the spacecraft that would have landed on the Moon.Now though，they were using it as a kind of lifeboat.With its own power supply，oxygen and water，the three men could survive in the lunar module and return to Earth.There was another problem though.In an enclosed space like a lunar module，the carbon dioxide the crew was breathing out was dangerous.The equipment to clear the air of carbon dioxide was only built for two people.Now it had to deal with three.Amazingly，the crew managed to build an adapter out of materials onboard to reduce the carbon dioxide to a safe level.
There was one final hindrance.The lunar module wasn't strong enough to re-enter Earth's atmosphere so the crew had to go back into the damaged command module.To everyone's relief，the crew of Apollo 13 arrived safely in the South Pacific Ocean on April 17th.Although the crew didn't land on the Moon，NASA still considered the mission a success.
（1）What was the astronauts' first reaction to the explosion？
A．They went out to land on the Moon.
B．They informed scientists on Earth.
C．They moved into the lunar module.
D．They looked into the cause of the explosion.
（2）How did the astronauts solve their air situation in the lunar module？
A．By moving back to the command module.
B．By lowering the carbon dioxide level.
C．By creating a new oxygen supply.
D．By limiting the oxygen use.
（3）What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean？
A．Surprise.
B．Mission.
C．Obstacle.
D．Circumstance.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．A Successful Mission
B．An Amazing Adventure
C．Deep Space Exploration
D．Life-and-Death Drama in Space組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5

Mary waited anxiously for her turn in the empty dressing room.Never had she been so nervous before.This competition was of vital importance to her comeback. "If I can win today，"she said to herself，"I can dance on the national stage next month." Three months ago，her left arm was seriously injured in a car accident.After the medical treatment，she began to recover slowly.She practiced over and over again in order to regain her dancing skills.
"Hi，Mary，"in rushed her friend Jessica. "How is your arm？Is it going to influence your performance？"
"I guess it can be tolerated for I am to win the match." said Mary with a determined look.
"Admirable!But I hear that a girl called Linda is really gifted and strong.She can be your real well-matched competitor.Come on!"
After Jessica left，Mary decided to practice her most difficult spin. "If I don't try harder，I won't grasp this chance." She thought.But her arm began to hurt，making her worried. "Mary，what makes you think you have a chance tonight？" she said to herself.After the pain was gone，she continued to warm up.
A slim girl hurried in and put down an equipment bag on the chair.Then，she took out her dance dress quickly and put it on skillfully.Seeing Mary，she smiled politely and said "Hi，I'm Linda.I am the next one!" Mary nodded in reply but felt uncomfortable. "This is just my competitor.Because of her，I may lose tonight." Her mind was wandering when Linda let out a scream，"Oh，God，I can't find my music tape!" Linda searched her bag but in vain. "It may be missing on the way." With these words，she then rushed out.
