18．（8分）Why is the sea salt？Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it，we explained it in a story.Even though the answer isn't scientific，it holds some other truth in it﹣especially about the human heart.
Long ago，a poor old couple lived on the coast.One day，an old storyteller came to their village.The old couple gave him a meal.In return（磨粉机） and said， "Say 'Mill（磨粉）'and it'll make whatever you want，to stop it，please cease（停止） grinding'."
Soon the old couple had a much better life.They'd been happy people，and they didn't need much more.But the young couple next door were never satisfied.When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food，they burnt with envy （羡慕）.So one day，the young husband went to the old couple's house secretly and heard， "Mill，please grind hot chocolate!" He was surprised to see it coming out.
Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple.With it they rode a horse and set off down the coast，where no one would know them.Along the way，the husband showed proudly and asked，I don't know.Why not salt？" the wife said. "Mill，please grind salt!" he said. "It works!" the wife shouted.But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. "Make it stop." the wife said.But the husband didn't know how. "Mill，please stop grinding!Please，no more!" His words didn't work.The mill kept grinding.Finally，the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.
And there it's been，for hundreds of years，endlessly grinding salt.That's why the sea is salt.
（1）The passage is probably a（n） .
A．folk story

C．d﹣a﹣c﹣b
D．d﹣c﹣a﹣b

19．（8分）Biking keeps you fit.It is a clean and green way to get to work if you live close enough.Also，it's cheaper than driving a car.
Biking has so many advantages，but why aren't there more bikers on city roads？According to a survey，the number one reason is the worry about road safety.
Sharing the road with cars can be dangerous.Omar Bakhshi experienced this when a car knocked him down，which had bad effects on his taste and smell for life.Bakhshi realized that what happened to him wasn't normal.Tether's invention is a smart sensor （传感器） that goes on a bike's handlebars（把手）.As the biker rides through the city，the invention makes a "safety zone（地带）"of lights onto the road.These lights will make cars pay attention to the rules of sharing the road.If cars get too close to the biker's personal spaces，the lights will start flashing.
What makes Bakhshi's invention different is its smart features （特点）.Tether's tool collects data （数据） from these biking accidents.The data is organized into a central database and can be used to choose which streets are safer for bikers.
Not only can bikers choose a better way to avoid heavy traffic by using the data，but Bakhshi plans to share the data with the government.
Walking，biking，driving and public transportation all have different advantages and disadvantages.When all road users can share the same level of safety knowledge，everyone can get where they need to go quickly and safely.
（1）Why aren't there more bikers on city roads according to the passage？
A.Because people can't afford bikes.
B.Because people can't ride bikes.
C.Because people like to drive cars more.
D.Because people worry about road safety.
（2）What happened to Bakhshi before he started Tether？
A.He lost his new bike by accident.
B.He failed to invent a bike.
C.He had an accident when riding a bike.
D.He hurt a man when driving a car.
（3）How does Tether's invention improve safety conditions？
A.By making a "safety zone"of lights.
B.By making the bike stronger.
C.By making the bike much cheaper.
D.By making people drive cars less.
（4）What can be the best title for the passage？
A.The life in green cheap style
B.An experience of driving a car
C.The worry about data life
D.New technology for biking safety
20．（8分）The day was hot.The stockade was even hotter.Everyone was sleepy.I moved slowly and quietly through the forest to the shore.I looked toward the Hispaniola.Silver and one of the crew were leaving the ship.
"Ben Gunn's boat will be hidden behind a rock." I thought.
I looked behind every large rock.At last，I found his boat.It was very small，but it was big enough for me.My plan was to take it out to the Hispaniola and cut her ropes. She would then move toward the shore.
It was not easy to make the small boat go where I wanted it to.It took me a long time to get to the Hispaniola.But at last，I could hold the anchor rope.I began to cut it，but the rope was thick and strong.
The wind now became stronger.The Hispaniola began to move through the sea.She nearly pushed my little boat under the water.I was able to get out of her way only just in time.
Then I heard shouting.The two drunken men ran out of the cabin.They knew the ship was moving，but they did not know why.
The sea was now rough because of the strong wind.I could not make my little boat go where I wanted it to.I lay at the bottom of my boat.
"Soon this boat will be full of water. "I thought. "Then I shall drown." I closed my eyes.I thought of home.
I slept through the night in my small boat.It was nothing when I awoke.
My boat was now half full of water.The wind was still strong.The Hispaniola was moving this way and that way.
"No one is steering her，" I thought. "The two crew men are either drunk or they have drowned."
Slowly I moved my boat toward the ship.It was very difficult.At one moment I was near the ship，the next the sea took me away from her.At last，I was near enough to take hold of the rope.Just then

21．（10分）We all avoid failure（失败），and most of us fear it.However，without failure（1）
Accepting failure is not easy for many，though.We are often unwilling to accept failure because our professional fame depends on success. （2） In the past ten years，for example，some scientific magazines have published reports of failed tests.It is believed that scientists can learn from "negative（负面的）" results and that this can finally lead to positive results.
（3） The ABN AMRO bank started an Institute（机构） of Brilliant Failures to learn more about what works and what doesn't in banking.Similarly，Eli Lilly and Company had failure parties to study the drugs（药物） that don't work.
In fact，one of the business world's most famous failures became one of its biggest successes，in part because the product's makers learned from their mistakes.In the early 1990s，though unique（独特的） at the time；besides，some of its most important features（特点） didn't work properly. （4） and in 1998，the company stopped selling it.However.Apple's CEO，Steve Jobs，this led to the production of the iPhone and the iPad，two of the company's most successful products.
The story of the Apple Newton can teach us an important lesson about failure. （5） if we want to succeed，but also be persistent（执着的）.Though Apple stopped selling the Newton in 1998，the first iPhone wasn't available until 2007.It took a lot of research and hard work to go from the Apple Newton to iPhone，but in the end，the effort became successful.
All in all，there is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes.Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin.One truly cannot exist without the other.
A．Not only should we try to learn from it；B．We are brave enough to face difficulties.C．The business world already understands the value of negative results.D．However，things are slowly changing，especially in business and science.E．The Apple Newton has won popularity with people all over the world.F．Failure.It seems that one cannot exist（存在） without the other.G．As a result，it became one of Apple's biggest failures，

33．【答案】Everyone wonders what's best for us teenagers，but no one knows what that is.It might be succeeding，but it might be failing.
I think failure teaches more.First of all，failure makes people patient.It took Yuan Longping and his team nearly ten years to develop a new type of hybrid rice.Secondly，we'll become modest to others because of seeing ourselves clearly.J.K.Rowling is such an example.Spud Webb's story also shows we can do almost anything if we never give up working harder.Finally，failure gives us a deep view of things.Though failing to win the third gold，Yuzuru Hanyu proved that one of the great challenges in life is well being ourselves rather than comparing with others.
