But when Ella’s father unexpectedly dies too, she finds herself living with a horrible new family. Her stepmother and stepsisters make her into a servant girl.

It is two in the morning. The wind is getting stronger and there is a chance that it will rain. Though the weather is bad, Al Gehrke sits 110 floors above the ground, 442 meters above the earth. You may be wondering what he is doing so far off the ground. If you asked him, he would say, “I am just doing my job!” Al Gehrke has a very special job that not many people would want to have. He manages one of the tallest buildings in the world — the Wills Tower in Chicago. His team washes and changes the windows. The Wills Tower has 16, 000 windows and each window weighs over 90 kilos. Gehrke and his team work from seven in the evening until four in the morning. They clean 18 windows each night. Each window takes almost 30 minutes. Al Gehrke is not afraid of high places and he is a good man for the job. Mary Ann also has an unusual job. Instead of hanging high above the earth washing windows, she works under the water. She trains dolphins for shows and also helps people to swim with the dolphins. She loves the dolphins. “We never tell a dolphin what to do. We ask them respectfully. They decide to do that for us because of the relationship we have,” she said. Besides washing windows high above the earth or swimming with big fish under the water, there are other unusual jobs that you have probably never thought of people having. Here is another strange example: karaoke singers! A karaoke singer is someone who sings the songs of famous singers.

In 1969, as US astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon, he famously declared, ‘That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.’ And as many countries come together to celebrate World Space Week from Oct 4-10, it seems that there are still many leaps to take. During ancient times, our only steps were back and forth across the surface of our own planet. We climbed to the top of mountains, or sailed in boats across oceans. But we didn’t, and couldn’t, leave the surface of our planet. It’s not surprising that back then, the so-called heavens fascinated(使着迷) us so much. How could they not? How could people not be obsessed with the great object in the sky that arrived each day with light and then left, taking the light with it? Or the mysterious moon, stars and planets that lit up the night sky? Compared with us, these things seemed so free and exciting. Different cultures created stories about the heavens. The Chinese referred to a ‘King of the Sky’ who created the heavens and decorated them with stars; the ancient Greeks had ‘the Sky Gods’ who controlled the weather. Few of us believe those stories anymore – science has taught us better. And yet the heavens, or what we now call ‘space’ and ‘outer space’, are still a source of mystery and fascination for us. Yes, there are space stations, satellites and trips to other planets. None of this modern science, however, has made space any less fascinating to us. As the American scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson said, ‘The universe is under no obligation (义务) to make sense to you.’ The more we know, the more our curiosity grows. Even today, the most popular novels and movies are set on other planets, solar systems (太阳系) or galaxies (星系). Space is still mysterious, as it was for the ancient Chinese, Greeks and Romans. And perhaps it always will be. 1.The author used Neil Armstrong’s story to ______. A.describe how the celebration of World Space Week began B.draw attention to great achievements in space exploration C.explain why human beings are curious about outer space D.predict(预报) future space programs that might change history 2.The underline word ‘obsessed’ in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. A.happy B.interested C.satisfied D.bored 3.Compared with modern people, ancient Greeks ______. A.didn’t leave many records of space objects B.believed the King of the Sky controlled the weather C.shared a similar curiosity about the universe D.showed little respect for the power of nature 4.What’s the article mainly about? A.Important events in space exploration history. B.Human’s unchangeable interest in space. C.Ancient stories inspired(激发，产生) by the heavens. D.What we have learned about the universe.

六、阅读填空 先通过读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。所填单词必须写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。每个空格只能填一个单词。 It’s rare to see a person inspire a new word. But that’s what Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has accomplished. “Stay awesome and ZHUperb!” Volleywood, a US-based blog website for volleyball fans, recently coined the word “ZHUperb”, which combines “Zhu” and “superb”, to describe the 24-year-old player’s dominance (支配)on the court. At a young age, Zhu is captain of China women’s national volleyball team. But it hasn’t been easy for Zhu to get to where she is today. Born to a farming family in Henan province, Zhu got a hard-won chance to attend a local sports school at the age of 13. The player got homesick during the first few months of training. But later she got over it, and made progress week on week. She quickly succeed in entering the national youth team from the provincial youth team. In 2013, she became famous after helping the Chinese U20 team to win the title at the 2013 FIVB U20 World Championship. Then Zhu was enlisted in the national team and met the famous coach Lang Ping. At the beginning, as a 1.98-meter-tall girl, Zhu found it difficult to move fast and hold her weight on her feet, but Lang thought it as her advantage. She trained her to jump high to smash (扣杀) the ball. After this, she became an ace spiker (主攻手). Zhu still works up a sweat (汗) during training. “Hard work and talent are equally important. I’ll move forward step by step,” she told People’s Daily. Title: Zhu Ting-The superstar who inspires a new word ZHUperb
