On that day, we celebrated hundreds of “ Happy Heroes” – those who did so much to bring happiness to others. They helped the homeless to live a comfortable life and the poor kids to go to school.‎ The 2014 Day of Happiness actions asked people to share pictures of making them happy.

Some pieces of ice are huge, like moving islands. As temperatures have increased, however, some of the ice has begun to disappear. Scientists have discovered huge waves（海浪）in the arctic waters.‎ The waves were discovered by accident in May, 2010. Scientist Aleksey Marchenko and his students set out on a trip. They wanted to study the icy waters.‎ On May 2, the ship traveled east and stopped next to a large chunk of ice around 50 miles from the small island of Hopen. Marchenko prepared to lead his students out onto the Ice.‎ ‎"We were ready to go but when I went out, I discovered many cracks（裂缝）around," he remembers.‎ He decided to move the ship deeper into the ice to keep safe. The farther in they went, he thought, the harder the ice would become. As they pushed forward, however, the ship experienced small waves, and then bigger ones. Soon, the waves broke up the ice around the ship into thousands of smaller pieces．‎ Within an hour, Marchenko and his team saw a wave that was about 13 feet high. The ship's navigation（航行）system finally recorded the largest waves. They were more than 20 feet in height. The waves were so strong that they forced huge pieces of ice to jump up and down, breaking the ice into smaller pieces within just one hour. Scientists had never imagined that the process could happen so fast. The waves in these areas used to be small.‎ The speed and force of the huge waves there makes it impossible to know in advance when they are coming. That could be dangerous for navigators and local communities who are unprepared for huge waves or depend on sea ice to protect them. Wildlife like polar bears and walruses that depend on sea ice to live is also in danger.‎ Some scientists think people will soon see even bigger waves in these icy waters. As waves break up ice, the seas will become more open, and the waves will get even stronger. There are stormy times ahead.‎ ‎34. When did Marchenko and his students discover huge waves in the arctic waters?‎ ‎35. Why did Marchenko and his students set out on the trip?‎ ‎36. What did Marchenko decide to do to keep safe?‎ ‎37. How high were the largest waves recorded by the navigation system?‎ ‎38. What is Paragraph 7 mainly about?‎ Passage 3（2019 •安徽省）‎ 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。‎ Remember when you were a little child trying to learn to walk?‎ First, you had to learn how to balance (平衡) yourself and stand. You fell down, and then got back up. You laughed sometimes and cried at other times. After much practice, you finally learned how to balance yourself. You got much pleasure from this new feeling of power—you'd stand everywhere you could. It was a happy time—you did it!‎ Now the next step—walking. You'd seen others do it. It didn't look that hard—just move your legs while you were standing. Wrong—more difficult than you ever imagined. But after you tried again and again and again, you understood how to walk.‎ If people found you walking, they cheered, "Oh, look at what the kid is doing." This encouraged you! But look back on those days when you were the little child—how many times did you try when no one was watching, or when no one was cheering? You couldn't wait for someone to encourage you to take the next steps. You learned how to encourage yourself.‎ So, keep trying and encouraging yourself as you learned to walk if you want to succeed in doing something.‎ ‎58. What is the first step in learning to walk?

I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language ‎ was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a 17-year-old girl, I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French-speaking host family, who didn’t speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school. ‎ On the first day of school, all of us students were given a test to determine（测定）our language level. We were required to speak only French all summer.‎ I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn’t understand most of it at the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing. ‎ On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European-style（欧式的）buildings, and learned some stories there.‎ Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn’t wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully immersed（沉浸）in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.‎ ‎1．When did the writer fly alone for the first time?‎ ‎ _______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎2．How did the local school determine the students’ language level?‎ ‎ _______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎3．Did the writer enjoy the experience of communicating in French?‎ ‎ _______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎4．What did the writer think of the visit to historic Quebec City?‎ ‎ _______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎5．What could be the main reason for the writer’s improvement in French?‎ ‎ _______________________________________________________________________________‎ Passage 5（2019 •湖南省益阳市）‎ Aron Ralston is an American man.
