When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind, “I'll send Mum some roses(玫瑰).”While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, madam?” he asked. The assistant(店员) was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen(一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨).“No, I have to have red roses,” he said. “My mum was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses as rose is her favourite.”After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the assistant said, “Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you.” Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty－five dollars that John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon John realized it was not a park but a cemetery(墓地). Crying, the young man carefully put down the roses, “Mum, oh, Mum, why didn't I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”Seeing this, John turned and quickly walked to the shop. He would take the flowers home himself.1．.The assistant tried to ask the young man to buy carnations instead of roses because_______ .A．carnations were nicer than rosesB．roses were saved for JohnC．roses were more expensive than carnationsD．carnations were special flowers for Mother's Day2．.John spent _________ altogether(总共) in the flower shop that day.A．$5 B．$25 C．$30 D．$553．The young man cried at the cemetery because he ______________ .A．had spent all his money on the rosesB．wasn't able to tell his mother he loved her himselfC．felt sorry to ask John to pay for his flowersD．hadn't got enough money for his sick mother4．At last John changed his mind and went home because he wanted to_________ .A．tell his mother he loved her himselfB．ask his mother for more moneyC．tell his mother the young man's storyD．ask his mother if she liked roses5．.The writer writes the passage in order to tell us “____________.”A．Buy roses for your mother when she is illB．Let your mother know how much you love herC．Work hard to get more money for your motherD．Send your mother flowers on Mother's DayC15、Everyone wants to be perfect. Finding a good way to achieve self-improvement (自我提高) is more and more popular. For this, the beginning of a new year is a great time to think about ways that you can improve in the coming year. Here are some suggestions for New Year’s resolutions(决定).Firstly, make sure your goal is realistic(现实的). Winning the lottery(彩票), for example, may not come true. Then, describe your resolutions____, instead of “I don’t want to be lazy”, “ I want to exercise every day” or “I will cut downon my television watching”. At last, break down large goals into small ones. For example, if you want to lose weight, you can start by joining a gym or improving your eating habits.Your New Year’s resolutions and goals can be about anything, from saving more money so that you can buy a really cool toy that you like, to making more friends, or to spending more time with your family. Start by writing down some goals on a piece of paper. After you finish, keep the paper somewhere you can see, like on your fridge or a wall in your room. Don’t forget to check the things on the paper that you have completed as some time passes.1．People find ways to achieve self-improvement for_______________.A．having more money B．being perfectC．losing weight D．making more friends2．Winning the lottery may not come true because_______________.A．it’s not realisticB．it’s a very large goalC．it takes a long timeD．it’s not a New’s Year’s resolution3．What does the underlined phrase “ in detail” mean in Chinese?A．默默地B．犹豫地C．详细地D．激动地4．What should people do after writing down the goals on a piece of paper?A．Throw the paper away.B．Share the goals with others.C．Put it somewhere they can see.D．Never mention the goals to others.5．The writer wants to tell us ______ in the passage.A．when to make New Year’s resolutionsB．why to make New Year’s resolutionsC．where to make New Year’s resolutionsD．how to make New Year’s resoluti onsD16、Before we upload a photo of ourselves to social media, like WeChat, we’ll use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and give us longer eyelashes and fuller lips. With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, we’re able to get a q uick fix and present the “best” pictures of ourselves to the world.However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections away, we’re also changing the way we look at our ourselves. (1)Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies-Living in the Era of Filtered (滤镜) Photographs. The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries. (2)The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell the lin es between reality and fantasy. “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article says. (3) In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of celebrities who were famous that time. But for today’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look,” a British doctor Escho told The Independent. “Now you’ve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website.Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comparisons, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the BeautyCam?” Instead, we should think, “I feel good, I have my health.”1．What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media?A．Smoothing their skin in the morning. B．Using apps to edit photos.C．Wearing false eyelashes. D．Redding their lips before going out.2．Where should we put the sentence “This is why many young people suffer an appearanceworries when it comes to how they really look.”?A．(4) B．(3) C．(2) D．(1)3．The fifth paragraph implies (暗示) that ___________ .A．people today focus (关注) more on how good they look than in the pastB．in the past, people thought highly of those who are good at celebratingC．social platforms help people learn about self-worthD．self-worth is related purely on followers people have4．What did the writer write this passage for?A．To call on people to care more about appearanceB．To call on people not to use apps on mobile phoneC．To call on people to learn something more important than appearanceD．To call on people not to spend too much time on comparison with othersE17、Malls (购物中心) are popular places for Americans to go to. Some people spend so much time at malls that they are called mall rats. Mall rats shop until they visit hundreds of stores.People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have police stations. Parking is usually free. And the weather inside is always fine.

But it is said that it began in the early 1900s.Jazz was a new kind of music, for America and the world, and New Orleans was its birthplace.Who were the jazz pioneers? Most were blacks. This music was not written down, and at first only blacks played it. It was hard for white musicians to learn the new style. But soon they, too, were playing jazz.The popularity of this music spread.

To attract readers to visit Morandi's exhibition.D. To analyze Morandi's works and drawing skills.CThe science fiction movie The Wandering EarthⅡ has been quitepopular since its release on Jan 22.The space elevators in the movie arequite impressive—elevator cars travel quickly between the cables hatconnect Earth's surface and the space station.This device may not only beimagined in the future.Early in 1895，Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was inspired by the Eiffel Tower.He pointed out that if humans could build a tower high enough to reach space，people would be able to travel by space elevators.However，such a tower is impossible because no matter how large its base is，it would not be able to support the whole system.Scientists then considered the idea in a different way.Earth's satellites，about 36，000 kilometers high in the sky，appear to be fixed in space.They rotate around Earth once every day.According to Scientific American，if such a satellite could drop cables towards Earth，and the cables could be fixed to Earth's surface，then the whole system would rotate along with Earth.This seems possible，but one of the challenges that stop engineers from building the elevators is the cables' material.According to an article by the Institute of Physics，Chinese Academy of Sciences，a carbon nanotube might be the most proper material.It weighs 1.6 grams and it can hold more than800 tons which is about the weight of 160 elephants.Since its discovery in 1991，scientists have been trying to create a carbon nanotube as long as possible.However，the longest carbon nanotube with a perfect structure was only about half a meter.It was developed by a team at Tsinghua University in 2013.Space elevators require far less energy and money than rockets.With space elevators，space tasks would be carried out more easily and more frequently.Although scientists have not solved the key problem，they will continue doing research on carbon nanotubes.Maybe one day the space elevator will enter our life.23. The author mentioned The Wandering EarthⅡ in Paragraph 1 to ______ .A. show the popularity of the movieB. give personal opinions on the movieC. explain the advantages of the movieD. lead in the topic based on the movie24. The underlined phrase" the idea "in Paragraph 3 refers to ______ .A. setting up a large base for a space towerB. connecting satellites with Earth by cablesC. building a device for people to reach spaceD. creating a system rotating along with Earth25. The key problem of space elevators at present is ______ .A. how to create carbon nanotubes fasterB. how to make carbon nanotubes lighterC. how to develop longer carbon nanotubesD. how to discover more carbon nanotubes26. What is the best title of the passage？______A. Space Elevators：A Widely Used InventionB. Space Elevators：A New Device on the WayC. Space Elevators：A Science Project in ChinaD. Space Elevators：A Safe Guard for Space Travel27.

A lot of books like these begin with titles that start with the words “how to”. Many “how to” books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a career and how to succeed in it. If you would like to become very rich, you can buy a book How to Make a Million. If you never make any money, you need a book called How to Live on Nothing.One of the most popular kinds of books is one that helps you with personal problems. If you are unhappy with your life, you can read How to love Every Minute of Y our life. If you are tired of books on happiness, you may prefer a book called How to Make Yourself Sad.. Many of these books help people use their free time better. Some people want books which will give them useful information about sports, hobbies and travels.Other people use their free time to make repairs and improvements in their homes. They like books which givestep-by-step instructions on how to repair things like electrical writing, or how to decorate a house or make it larger. Why have “how to” books become so popular ? Maybe because life has become so popular. Maybe because life has become so complex. Today people have far more free time to use , more choices to make, and more problems to solve. “How to” books help people deal with modern life. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

Americans often use it to represent heat. When they say “red-hot”, that means they are very angry about something. Loud music is popular with many people. Some may say that such music is red-hot.Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say “I’m in the pink” when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink colour that shows that they are in good health.Blue is a cool colour. The old Blues music in the United States is the opposite of red-hot music. Blues is slow and sad. Someone who is “blue” is very sad.The colour green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural colour for humans.A person who has an upset stomach may say “I’m feeling a bit green”. A person on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves can be said “look very green”. Sometimes a person may be very jealous because he does not have anything as nice as someone has, like a fast new car. That person may say “I’m green with envy”. Some people are green with envy because someone has more dollars or “greenbacks”. Dollars are called greenbacks in American slangs because that is the colour of the bottom of their bank notes.The colour black is used often in expressions. People may say “it’s a black day” when everything goes wrong on that day.In some cases, colours describe a situation. Blackouts were common during the World War II. All the lights in a city were turned off at night to make it difficult for enemy planes to find their aims in the dark.29．What does “I’m in the pink” mean?A．I’m sad .B．I’m happy.C．I’m healthy.D．I’m worried. 30．We describe a day on which everything goes wrong as ________.A．a red day B．a green day C．a pink day D．a black day 31．What does the underlined word, “blackouts” mean?A．dark nights B．going out in black C．lighting in control D．dark lights 32．Which of the following sentences is TRUE, according to the passage?A．People in the USA use the colour black to express heat.B．If you are blue, you are very happy.C．Blue and red are both warm colours.D．If someone is very rich, you may be green with envy.You don’t have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is looking for creative ways to make a change-and he’s inviting bikers to join him.Daan Roosgaarde is a designer from the Netherlands. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog (烟雾) Free Project, he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In the Netherlands, he designed a shining bicycle path.Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike-sharing company ofo to create a new product for public use. It’s an air-cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather, the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker’s face.It’s no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter, it’s common for thick clouds of haze (霾), caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions (排放物), to cover areas of China.In 2016. only one-fourth of Chinese cities met the country’s air quality standards,according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.“Of course one tower and a few bikes won’t solve China’s air pollution problem,” Daan said, “but smog-free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully inspire communities to create greener cities.”33．According to the writer, ________.A．air pollution is not a big problem in ChinaB．creative ideas may help improve city lifeC．only scientists can solve big environmental problemsD．the survey of 338 cities nationwide was not necessary34．The air-cleaning machine offers clean air to the biker by ________.A．blowing out dirty air B．running fast with the bike C．cleaning the air around the biker D．breathing in dirty air and cleaning it 35．Daan is inviting bikers to join him in order to ________.A．raise money for the tower B．test his new machineC．help solve the air pollution problem D．make more Chinese friends 36．What is the best title for the passage?A．Breathing in and out B．Biking for fresh airC．Surveys from the government D．China’s air pollution problem四、多任务混合阅读Hearing that Erin was coming for the silver wedding party, Mr. Joe and his wife got worried.“Erin the thief!” said Mr. Joe to his wife. “Anything smaller than a table, and more expensive than paper, would finally be found in his bag.”“He’s sure to come for the presents we’ve received,” added Mrs. Joe. “We can’t hide them all. How can we deal with him?”“We must keep an eye on him,” said Mr. Joe.As soon as Erin arrived, the couple started to keep a sharp lookout. After dinner, the three talked nervously from one boring topic to another in the living room.Suddenly, Erin asked, “You’ve got so many presents. Can I take a look at those pretty silk scarves?”“Only it’s annoying to have seven of them,” Mr. Joe blurted.Erin studied the scarves carefully, lost in thought. The couple got more anxious.After Erin went for sleep, Mrs. Joe counted the presents immediately. “I’m not sure if we’ve lost anything,” she doubted.“He must have taken something,” claimed Mr. Joe angrily. “The awful pig hasn’t brought us a present. How dare he take anything from us?”“Let’s go through his bag late at night,” Mrs. Joe suggested.The search was a short one. They found a silk scarf carefully placed in the bag. Mrs. Joe quickly picked it up and put it into her pocket.The next morning, Erin was late for breakfast. “Something’s been taken out of my bag,” he said. “It was a present I had prepared for your silver wedding, only it happened to be a scarf. You seemed annoyed at having so many, so I thought I’d get it changed, but now it’s gone.”The couple turned deadly pale. Mrs. Joe ran to the living room and surprisingly, she found their seven scarves were still there, ▲ .Mrs. Joe returned with Erin’s scarf. “This one is yours,” she went on. “It’s an unpleasant thing to say… Actually, we took it last night. It all started because there were some unkindwords about you. It’s really shameful to go through your bag without asking.”Erin’s eyes widened as he was listening. Mrs. Joe handed the scarf to Erin.“Please take your scarf back. It’s unfair to you.

The International Space StationC. Women Teachers in SpaceD. Women AstronautsBWhen 4-year-old British Prince George started his first day of school in September 2017，Chinese language was on his course.And he wasn't alone.According to a report in September，about 51 percent of UK parents want their children to learn Chinese，as it's believed to be one of the most useful languages to know.In fact，the popularity of Chinese drove the UK government to launch the Chinese Excellence Program in September last year.Its goal is to make at least 5，000 British state middle school students speak Chinese well by 2020.The language has become the second most spoken foreign language in the US，after only Spanish （西班牙语），with over 2.1 million speakers，according to a survey.Many US famous people such as Facebook founder （脸书创始人）Mark Zuckerberg and Obama's daughter，Malia Obama，study Chinese as a second language.So far，67 countries and regions （地区）have included Chinese in their national course，so why are so many countries crazy about learning Chinese？One reason could be that as China continues to develop quickly，Chinese is increasingly becoming a useful tool for people's personal and professional growth. "I think everyone believes that China will be the next great superpower （超级大国）...even if it's not a superpower like America.It still has an important influence in the future，" said Aisling McCaffrey from Canada，who studied at the Renmin University of China，"Learning Chinese is the best way to make sure that you can be part of that growth."This opinion was shared by former （前任的）British Prime Minister David Cameron，who urged （呼吁）British students to learn Chinese to "seal （抓住）tomorrows business deals" in 2013.30. Why do UK parents want their children to learn Chinese？______A. Chinese is on the course.B. Princess George starts to learn Chinese.C. The UK government sets up the program.D. Chinese is one of the most useful languages.31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？______A. Aisling McCaffery is from Canada.B. Learning Chinese is the best way to be famous.C. There are more than 2.1 million Chinese speakers in the US.D. 67 countries and regions have included Chinese in their national course. （3）______ urgedBritish students to learn Chinese. A.Malia Obama B.David Cameron C.Prince George D.Mark Zuckerberg32. What's the best title of the passage？______A. The Ways to Learn Chinese WellB. The Increasing Number in Learning ChineseC. Why Learning Chinese Has Risen Around the WorldD. The Relationship Between Language and DevelopmentCIf you've ever been annoyed by the sound of someone eating，especially as they noisily slurp noodles，don't worry，you're not alone.A company has recently designed a fork that connects to an app on your smart phone，which will then play noise cancelling sounds if you happen to slurp your noodles too loudly.The fork was designed with a microphone in its handle that is trained to recognize the sound of slurping.The microphone will then send a signal to the phone app，setting off the noise cancelling sounds.The company that designed the fork，called Otohiko fork，was inspired by what is called "noodle harassment" by social media users，which is running wild in Japan."The Japanese，who generally dislike noisy eating，consider it proper and even preferable to suck up one's noodles with a loud slurping sound".Unfortunately for visitors，however，such enthusiastic slurping tends to grate on their nerves，which is what lead to the creation of the phrase "noodle harassment" in the first place. The company behind the fork，Nissin，is the very same company that invented Cup Noodles，who brought instant noodles to the world nearly 70 years ago，so they are definitely concerned about whether or not foreigners are put off by the sound of slurping noodles.The fork is being sold for a good ＄130，but those bothered enough by noodle slurpers will likely find it well worth the money.Nissin is only planning a limited run of 5000 forks for the time being，which can now be pre-ordered only through their website.The company is planning to begin releasing them just in time for the holidays.Of course，it still remains to be seen if the fork can be programmed to drown out the sound of loud chewers，which is probably of greater concern to sensitive Westerners.33. From the text we can know that ______ .A. "noodle harassment" is used to reduce the noiseB. the Otohiko fork will encourage noodle sales in JapanC. the microphone in its handle stops the slurping soundD. the app on a smart phone operates just like a silencer34. The new fork was invented ______ .A. to bring noodle eaters more funB. to solve a practical problemC. to change the Japanese eating habitD. to popularize instant noodles35. The new fork will be the most helpful for ______ .A. Western visitors to JapanB. fans of Japanese noodlesC. the spread of Japanese cultureD. the reform of Japanese food36. Which of the following can be the best title？______A. A New Fork Wins PopularityB. Nissin Makes Another InventionC. A Noise Cancelling Fork BornD. Good News for Western Visitors四、任务型阅读-多任务混合（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）37.
