A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place—under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred—that's five minutes —and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "…two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my foot."（1）What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A.Whether women are afraid of mice.B.Whether men are calmer than women.C.Whether men are cleverer than women.D.Whether women would make suitable soldiers.（2）Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A.To play a trick.B.To serve the guests.C.To attract the snake.D.To feed the hostess's pet.（3）Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A.He doesn't want anyone to panic.B.He intends to test the officer's theory.C.He sees there was a snake in the room.D.He wants to entertain the other guests.（4）What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A.The army officer's opinion is wrong.B.The hostess understood the American's intention.C.The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D.The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.6.Have you ever heard of a pawpaw（木瓜）? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, though it is native to the United States.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A pawpaw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It's also the largest fruit native to the US.It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. The pawpaw was not sold commercially in the past. The fruit requires a very special environment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it came from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers haveorganized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to the food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws. There were pawpaw jams, pies, gelato（冰淇淋）and beer. Michael Judd helped organize the Maryland pawpaw festival.Farmers are trying to grow kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw farmers in Westminster, Maryland. They said that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer's markets and online.（1）What can we know about the pawpaw according to the text?A.Its harvest season lasts long.B.It grows in Europe originally.C.It has already returned to its former position.D.It used to be well-received in North America.（2）What limited the pawpaw to being sold commercially in the past?A.It was unknown to the world.B.It's hard to grow, store and transport.C.It has similar taste with typical mangoes.D.The planters were unwilling to grow them for low profits.（3）Why do farmers hold "pawpaw festivals"?A.To show lots of delicious food to people.B.To make the pawpaw known to people again.C.To introduce people to a completely new fruit.D.To tell people the forgotten history about the fruit.（5）What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Pawpaws.B.How to Grow Pawpaws.C.The Comeback of Pawpaws.D.The Origin of Pawpaw Festival.四、七选五（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）7. （5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Activities like playing computer games, going o n the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isn’t it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned（皱眉）upon by their children and grandchildren?Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn’t believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: 揑find it very relaxing. It’s not ve ry demanding, but you still need to concentrate.”Another development that has favored 揼rey games? is a change in the type of videogames available on the market. There’s a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy（策略）and simulation（模拟）games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real-world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challengers, such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.Some people argue that 揼rey gamers? simply don’t have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the 揼rey gamers may well be far better than gamers halfa century younger than them.24. The second paragraph is intended to ________.A. show the best way to exercise the brainB. stress the importance of good healthC. explain why grey gamers existD. teach how to play videogames25. What was older people’s attitude towards their using personal com puters at first?A. DoubtfulB. IndifferentC. EnthusiasticD. Supportive26. The method the author uses to develop Paragraph 4 is ________.A. offering figuresB. giving examplesC. quoting experts’ wordsD. providing charts27. By saying 揟his couldn’t be f urther from the truth.? in Paragraph 5, the author means ________.A. mind challenging games are not suitable for older peopleB. children should improve their skills with practiceC. playing computer games requires analytical thinkingD. older people can perform well in some computer gamesCYounger students experience school bullying (欺凌) more frequently than older ones, and male students are bullied more than their female peers, a survey found.It also found that nearly half of the students had been intentionally hit or knocked down by classmates. About 6 percent said they are targeted by bul lies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced morebullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.Being bullied can have a negative impact on a child’s personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. 揅hildren being bullied will find it hard to trust others,? Zhou said. 揟hey may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.”In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijing’s Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder.The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in 2016. Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including boosting communication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involv ed in their children’s educational experience, as their presence and companionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects.28．Who is the most likely to become the target of bullying?A． A 10-year-old boy from a poor familyB． A 17-year-old boy from a rich familyC． A 17-year-old girl from an ordinary schoolD． A 10-year-old girl from a key school29．Being bullied will cause students to go through the following EXCEPT _____. A． a lack of trust in other peopleB． a drop in the sense of depressionC． a lack of ability to manage their lifeD． a drop in academic performance30．We can learn from the text that _____.A． bullying on campus has been brought into sharp focus by the mediaB． studen ts who enjoy parents’ companionship will be bullying-freeC． the government should consider taking further action against bullying at school D． bullying at school usually leads to acute stress disorder31．What can be the best title for the text?A． Negative effects on children caused by bullyingB． Is anything we can do about bullying?C． The reasons for bullying on campusD． Bullying affects half of the studentsDA typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭子)and a chair. The whip get all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’s the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided , the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achiever (e,g. lose weight, start a business, travel more ) –only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress ?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we tak e less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just needto get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you w ant to accomplish, someone you want to become ?.take immediate action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out the way . 32．Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A． To trick the lion.B． To show off his skill .C． To get ready for a fight.D． To entertain the audience.33．In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A． They feel puzzled over choices.B． They hold on to the wrong things.C． They find it hard to make changes.D． They have to do something for show.34．What is the author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in paragraph 3? A． TolerantB． DoubtfulC． RespectfulD． Supportive35．When the world is 搘aving a chair in your face?, you’re advised to_____. A． wait for a better chanceB． break your old habitsC． Concentrate on your goalD． ask for clear guidance第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ALast year, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off. The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”That was all he said. “See what happens? Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that?” At that point, I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying: “Oh, no! We are going to crash!” There are sighs of desperation and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.All too often, people stop achieving their goals just because they don't have a guaranteed result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is to just get up in the air, and see what happens.If your aim is to build a business, then get up in the air and see what happens! Don't give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will.If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as you think. It could be fun!1. H ow did the author feel when the pilot said the engines didn’t work?A. DisappointedB. AnxiousC. CuriousD. Relieved2. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The passengers began crying after the plane took off.B. The engines often worked double time to get started.C. The pilot tried to comfort the nervous passengers.D. The passengers reached the destination safe and sound.3. The underlined sentences in the last paragraph means “______________”.A. think carefully before you make friends.B. start to fly the plane to see what will happen.C. make an effort even if the result is uncertain.D. get up from the chair and greet somebody.4. What can be the best title for the passage?A. We Will See What HappensB. I Survived an Adventurous FlightC. The Pilot Risked Our LivesD. Making Plans Is Better Than Taking ChancesBIt was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited to hear all his news.My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone?I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd forgotten it at home.No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact. That's according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’ than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.Do you have nomophobia ?• You never turn your phone off• You obsessively (着魔地) check for texts, missed calls and emails• You always take your phone to the bathroo m with you• You never let the battery run outIt's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions(订购；订阅) would outnumber(数量上压倒) people across the world by the end of 2014.And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all – still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging(唠叨的) desire to check my phone.Not having it with me felt strangely liberating(自由). Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.5. What does the passage talk about ?A. The history of mobiles.B. The story of meeting an old university friend.C. The addiction of playing mobile phone.D. The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.6. The underlined phrase “on edge”in the third paragraph probably means_______.A. nervousB. energeticC. crazyD. surprised7. Which word is used to describe old mobile phones according to the passage?A. digital phoneB. cell phoneC. bricksD. smart phone8. According to the passage who is most likely to be addicted to mobiles ?A. A successful managerB. A 21-year-old girlC. A 21-year-old boyD. A lonely middle-aged personCWhen people introduce themselves, I always hear them say "I'm just a housewife".I don't understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self - pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home？How could you be "just a housewife" when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, child studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial adviser, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Don't think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offer — the love and affection of your family, their trust in you, a happy home and your own satisfaction.It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Wouldyou along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; it's time to make them accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes "I am a housewife". Kick that "just" out.9. How do people feel when they say "I'm just a housewife"？A. Satisfied．B. Proud．C. Regretful．D. Anxious．10.

AACADEMIC ACTIVITIES AND LEARNING TRIPSNACA (Native American Community Academy) involves students in academic activities and learning trips in order to strengthen the classroom learning experience. Some examples of our commitment to academic activities include:☆ Student DemonstrationsAt the end of every school year, NACA celebrates student learning and growth through Student Demonstrations. Each student chooses a project that reflects their best work and demonstrates it publicly for family and community members. Through this process students also practice the skills of giving a proper introduction, sharing content knowledge, making a personal connection, bettering their visual and oral presentation skills and interacting with their community.☆ Student CouncilStudent Council is a group of peer-elected representatives. They serve as leaders of their grade level and promote NACA Core Values. They model positive relationships among each other and staff. Student Council will facilitate school wide events to foster school spirit.☆ Potential Leaders Development Trip to Washington DCEvery summer, about thirty 8th grade students take part in a Potential Leaders Development. A trip to Washington DC is an important opportunity that promotes youth leadership for students while engaging them on a deeper academic level. It provides an experience-based understanding of the endless opportunities that higher education can provide and encourages the pursuit of academic success. Students who attend this trip are greatly impacted, long for completing their high school education in a more focused and determined manner and begin making plans for college. The trip also creates awareness of the significance of Washington DC/US government and importance of government to government relationships.1．What’s the aim of NACA trips?A． To equip students with social experience.B． To help students strengthen what they learn in class.C． To promote the awareness of protecting nature.D． To help students with learning difficulties to catch up.2．How does NACA celebrate the end of a school year?A． By organizing trips for students to Washington DC．B． By choosing model students for their good relationships.C． By getting students to present their best work publicly.D． By making personal connections with the community.3．What does the passage say about Trip to Washington DC?A． Its participants are future leaders of all fields.B． Its teachers are all experts at presentation skills.C． It sets models for students to socialize in real life.D． It aims to inspire students for higher education.BNow many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alon e in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”4．Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A． Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.B． It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.C． It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D． Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.5．Traveling alone is challenging because ________.A． you have to make things on your ownB． it is hard for you to prove yourself to othersC． you can only depend on yourself whatever happensD． it will finally build your character6．What can we infer about Chris Richardson?A． He started traveling alone at an early age. B． He was once shot in the arm. C． He used to work as a salesman. D． His website inspires others a lot. 7．What is the best title for the passage?A． Travel Abroad B． Travel Alone C． Travel Light D． Travel Wide and FarCWhat do you usually do to comfort your friends when they are feeling sad or depressed？You probably pat them on the back or shoulder，or maybe you give them a big，warm hug.We used to think that knowing when and how to comfort others was an ability that only humans have.But scientists have discovered that apes(猩猩)have this ability，too，according to a study published in the Journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta，US，went to an Ape Protection Centre in Congo to study bonobos(倭黑猩猩)，which are closely related to humans.The researchers analyzed the bonobos' reactions after more than 370 cases of stressful situations，such as fights and losing temper，and found that some bonobos rushed to hug those that were screaming after being attacked，just like humans would have done.However，researchers noted that not all bonobos were capable of comforting others.In the protection centre，many bonobos are orphans whose mothers were killed by hunters.They were found to be more anxious in times of tension and have greater difficulty controlling their own emotions，making them worse at reaching out to help friends in need.“Orphans，who have not had the benefit of a mother helping them handling their emotions，are much worse at comforting others，”Professor Frans de Waal，one of the researchers，told The Telegraph.“Bonobos with moms were able to curb their negative emotional reactions more quickly.Therefore，they pay more attention to others.”This pattern mirrors the way that human children have been found to react.Those who seem more capable of handling their own emotions—for example，the ones who can calm themselves down more quickly after upsetting experiences—are usually better at expressing their concerns for others.8．The 5th paragraph is mainly developed by________．A． making comparisons B． following time orderC． giving examples D． presenting causes and effects9．The underlined word“curb”in the 6th paragraph probablymeans“________”．A． express B． observe C． hide D． control 10．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A． Orphan bonobos never give a hand to friends.B． There were 370 bonobos involved in the research.C． Moms play a significant role in handling kids' emotions.D． The ability to comfort others is unique to human beings.11．What's the main purpose of this passage?A． To provide better protection for Apes. B． To inform readers of a new study. C． To uncover the mystery of Apes. D． To compare human behaviors with Apes'.DA new course on world heritage and its conservation offers a good opportunity for the young people to learn about the legacy(遗产) of humanity and gain a sense of responsibility to help protect the planet we live on.According to a world heritage education programme jointly launched by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and China's Ministry of Education, the course will first be offered at several schools in Beijing before being included as a mandatory course (必修课) for high school studentsnationwide.The new course covers photos, slide shows and documentaries on the magnificence of the world heritage sites. The class aims to tell children what world heritage is and why and how it should be protected. A total of 177 nations, including China, have signed the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Listed are 754 sites all over the world, of which 29 are in China—the third most after Spain and Italy. Currently, protection of the country's cultural and natural resources leaves much to be desired. Education is undoubtedly the best way to cultivate people's sense for protecting cultural and natural resources. The introduction of such a programme in Chinese classrooms will certainly help our young people realize the significance of common heritage, learning about world heritage sites, the history and traditions of different cultures, ecology, and the importance of protecting biological and cultural diversity.More importantly, it will help cultivate a sense of responsibility in the minds of young participants. This is critical in protecting these cultural and natural legacies, as well as our living environment and the limited resources for sustainable development.12．Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?A． The world heritage education programme was jointly launched by the United States and China's Ministry of Education.B． The course will first be offered at all the schools in Beijing.C． Protection of the country's cultural and natural resources has been perfect thanks to people's efforts.D． China ranks high among the countries with 29 sites listed on the list. 13．What can you expect to learn at the class?A． What world heritage is. B． Why we should protect world heritage. C． How world heritage should be protected. D． All of the above.14．The underlined word "cultivate" in the third paragraph probably means " ".A． distribute B． exploit C． develop D． improvise15．What's the purpose of the passage?A． To inform us of the reason for protecting the heritage.B． To tell us the way to protect the heritage.C． To tell us a new course.D． To tell us heritage preservation starts with education.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Until then she had been a bright, cheerful woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her. I would go home to visit her in Virginia and she would look at me in a puzzled way and ask, “Who are you?” I would answer, “I'm your son.” “Where do you live?” She would ask. “In California”, I would tell her. “Isn't that interesting,” she would say, “I have a son in California.”She seemed simply forgetful and confused at the beginning of the disease, but later on she would go through periods of intense anxiety. She would pace through the house she had lived in most of her life crying uneasily that she wanted to go home. Or she would leave home and wander away if she were unattended for a short time. Hoping to please her and put her mind at ease I would take her for a drive, visiting sites where she had lived as a child. In the yard of the hillside house in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn.I pictured my mother there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of. I looked to her for some response. She shookherhead and said “ I want to go home.Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a place, but a time. I suspect it was a time when she was much younger, when her children were still underfoot, when her husband was still vigorous and attentive.Watching my mother's suffering set me wondering where I would have gone in mind if someday I couldn’t find home and wanted to go there. In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy (糊涂的) minded as the years go by. At eighty I have already noticed some alarming symptoms. My doctor says the forgetfulness is only natural and that it es with age. Still the fear of Alzheimer's is haunting there. Someday if and when I bee even more cloudy minded than I am now, unable to drive and unable to tell you where "home" is, my dear son, I expect I will ask you to take me home, I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be. I leave these notes for your guidance.41. What's the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A. The author’s mother suffered with serious Alzheimer's disease.B.

In a medical magazine.CIn the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of65.She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year afterI started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a bination of adopted and biological children. In xx, we adopted our first son.To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed son No.3.In xx, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8！Our home was a plete zoo—a joyous zoo.Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full­time.But I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice: to find a way.That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In xx, I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded.It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal.Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day.It's a process.Remember: little steps addup to big dreams.51．When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________.A．a writer B．a teacherC．a judge D．a doctor 52．Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A．She wanted to study by herself.B．She fell in love and got married.C．She suffered from a serious illness.D．She decided to look after her grandma.53．What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A．She was busy yet happy with her family life.B．She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C．She wanted to remain a full­time housewife.D．She was too confused to make a correct choice.54．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A．Failure is the mother of success.B．Little by little, one goes far.C．Every coin has two sides.D．Well begun, half done.55．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Caring and determined.B．Honest and responsible.C．Ambitious and sensitive.D．Innocent and single-minded.DDeath Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”—the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners ing across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems h ard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.56. _______ is the lowest place in the desert.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Bad water57.

First of all, mistakesare a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to trynew things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If younever try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simpleanswer is “You can’t”. Look around you. Almost everything valuable yousee in your world is the result of _____________.[2] Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn’t failed 10000 times, but rather had learned 10000 things that didn’t work.[3] Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried only a few things before you succeed. Every time you made a mistake, you got rid of one bad thing and stepped closer to success.[4] But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Instead, when you try something new, you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that you will have opportu nities to try again in case that it doesn’t work out as you expected. We all have limited resources so don’t blow them all at one time.

On my first metro ride, I came across an incompetent thief. I stared him out, then he stopped his hand from my purse and quickly disappeared into the crowd. Somewhere in this confusing city was my hotel hidden, but the directions suddenly weren't easy to find. When I finally found the hotel, my heart was beating heavily. The wallpaper looked like it had been through a fire, the bathroom was downstairs, and the window looked out onto the brick wall of another building.

Idecided to refresh myself with a walk outside.It was in the walk that the city slowly unfolded before me. I walked along a path, listening to birds' singing, watching children float toy boats in a huge fountain. Evening in Paris was light and pleasant. No one seemed to be in a hurry.Gradually I calmed down, and slowly my sense of accomplishment overcame my fear and weakness. I was here! In Paris! All alone! Bravo! I wore out two pairs of shoes during my one week's stay in Paris. I did everything that was recommended in Lonely Planet, and it was the greatest week of my European vacation.

You can't ignore that a credit report can be a judge of character.So how can you get a good credit score? Make your repayments on time and pay off your accounts early if you can. If you're using savings to pay off debts, make sure you keep enough cash in an easy access savings account for emergencies.

A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins with" Twinkle, twinkle, little star", or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks or the Three bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as " Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination,but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.12. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn wordsD. Stories for children are easy to remember.13. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples14. According to the author. being able to use multiplication tables is _________.A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies15.What is the author's opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It's helpful only in a limited way.C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Snap Inc. has started selling its Spectacles sunglasses online in the United States.Apple iPhone XApple's new iPhone X is being launched with its new Face ID system that it says will unlock the phone just by having the user look at it.

By making a map.BIt is generally accepted these days that reading a book will help you relieve stress. And it may actually make you a more thoughtful person as you learn to connect with the various characters. But there’s more. A new study discovered that reading more than 3.5 hours per week actually increased a person’s lifespan（寿命）by 23 percent — about 12 years for the people involved in the study.The study was led by a group of researchers at Yale University. It looked at 3,635 people, both men and women but all older than 50. The researchers divided them into three categories: those who didn’t read books; those who read up to 3.5 hours a week; those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.After the researchers adjusted for factors like education, health and income, the data showed that, on average, those who read about 3.5 hours a week were 17 percent less likely to die.In addition, the study examined people who read newspapers and magazines and found that they were 11 percent less likely to die than non-readers, but only if theyspent more than seven hours reading each week. That may be due to the different forms of these items. When people read newspapers or magazines, they tend to skim the material rather than read it fully. Avni Bavishi, the study’s leader, said, “We believe people need to know, learn and understand more things when they are reading books, beca use they’re longer and there are more characters, more plots to follow, and more connections to make.”From all of this, the authors concluded that, as with a healthy diet and exercise, books appear to promote a “significant survival advantage.”Clearly, there is a need for more study. We’re certain that book lovers all around the world will be glad to provide the data needed to make further conclusions.24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. A few people think that reading can help them relax.B. Reading can make a person more sensitive.C. Reading can help a person to live a longer life.D. Most people think that reading can help them to live a better life.25. What can we learn about the people in the study from the text?A. All of them were older than fifty.B. Most of them were women readers.C. More than half of them were college students.D. They were divided into four groups by the researchers.26. Generally speaking, those who read newspapers and magazines ______ than those who readbooks.A. live longerB. are more likely to be positiveC. have a better ability to understandD. get fewer benefits in terms of the lifespanCDid you know that the Navy trained dolphins to find mines(地雷) which often blow up? Apparently, it was a cost-effective method; now, the Navy are preparing to replacethe dolphins with robots, not because they were doing a bad job or because they want to do a more human job, but because, guess what? Robots are more cost effective.Not particularly known for being humans, they’re also not planning to release or retire the dolphins, but they’re considering what other jobs they could be assigned to — probably some just as dangerous.“Everyone is familiar with security patrol dogs. You may even know that because of their exceptionally keen sense of smell, dogs like beagles are also used to detect (发现)drugs and bombs, or land mines. But a dog would not be effective in finding a sea mine,” reads the Navy’s site. “But just as the dog’s keen sense of smell makes it ideal for detecting land mines, the U.S. Navy has found that the biological sonar(声呐) of dolphins, called echolocation, makes them uniquely effective at locating sea mines so they can be avoi ded or removed.”The Navy will now equip underwater robots which will do the same job at a bigger distance, without needing constant rest and manned monitor. I, for one, hope the dolphins will be given a break and assigned to a safer task.27. Why will robots take the place of dolphins to find mines?A. Because dolphins do very bad jobs.B. Because dolphins are endangered animals.C. Because scientists want to be friendly to dolphins.D. Because using robots is cheaper.28. Dogs can be used to detect drugs due to ______.A. excellent sense of smellB. higher IQ compared with dolphinsC. echolocationD. biological sonar29. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to ______.A. security patrol dogsB. dolphinsC. sea minesD. the US Navy30.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Robots are going to take the place of dolphins to find mines.B. Dolphins are good at finding mines.C. Robots are welcome by humans because of their efficiency.D. Compared to security patrol dogs, dolphins do well in finding sea mines.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

When the studio didn't want me for the film-it wanted somebody as well known as Paul-he stood up for me. I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers．The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors：humorous，aggressive，and making fun of each other-but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core （核心）of our relationship off the screen．We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success，you should put something back-he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He'd been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn't talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words．24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first？A. Paul Newman wanted it．B. The studio powers didn't like his agent．C. He wasn't famous enough．D. The director recommended someone else．25.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship？A. They were of the same age．B. They worked in the same theater．C. They were both good actors．D. They had similar characteristics．26.What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to？A. Their belief．B. Their care for children．C. Their success．D. Their support for each other．27.What is the author's purpose in writing the test？A. To show his love of films．B. To remember a friend．C. To introduce a new movie．D. To share his acting experience．CAs you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine！Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout lifeˈs journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices.

AFrom the modern London Eye to the historic Tower of London, below are London's most visited tourist attractions. Many of London's top attractions are free, making them affordable places to learn about some culture. Whether you prefer history or modern art, you'll find it at one of these must-visit spots.British MuseumThe world-famous British Museum exhibits the works of man from prehistoric to modern times, from around the world. The most interesting and exciting parts include the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon sculptures (雕塑) and the mummies in the Ancient Egypt collection. Some exhibitions require tickets.National GalleryThe greatest and most beautiful building of Trafalgar Square, London's National Gallery is a vast space filled with Western European paintings from the 13th to the 19th centuries. In this impressive art gallery you can find works by masters such as Van Gogh, da Vinci, Botticelli, Constable, Renoir, Titian and Stubbs. Some exhibitions require tickets.Tate ModernSitting on the banks of the Thames is the Tate Modern, Britain's national museum of modern and contemporary (当代的) art. Its unique shape is due to it being a power station before. The gallery's restaurants offer wonderful views across the city. Some exhibitions require tickets.Coca-Cola London EyeThe Coca-Cola London Eye is a major feature of London's skyline. It has some of London's best views from its 32 capsules, each weighing 10 tonnes and holdingup to 25 people. Climb aboard for a breathtaking experience, with an unforgettable view of more than 55 of London's most famous landmarks — all in just 30 minutes!Madame TussaudsAt Madame Tussauds, you'll come face-to-face with some of the world's most famous faces. From Shakespeare to Lady Gaga you'll meet influential figures from show business, sport, politics and even royalty.

Both have chargeable exhibitions.B. Both are on the banks of the Thames.C. Both have vast spaces and special shapes.D. Both exhibit modern and contemporary art.2. If visitors want to get a better view of London's famous landmarks, they should visit _____.A. the Tate ModernB. the British MuseumC. the National GalleryD. the Coca-Cola London Eye3. In Madame Tussauds, visitors can _____.A. enjoy Shakespeare's worksB. talk to some famous peopleC. watch Lady Gaga's performanceD. see figures of many influential peopleBNext month, about 30,000 runners will take to the streets of Boston, Massachusetts, for one of the world’s oldest and most famous races, the Boston Marathon. Nearly half the competitors in the 26.2-mile race will be women. But for most of the race’s 119-year history, only men were officially allowed to compete.A woman named Roberta “Bobbi” Gibb helped change that in 1966, when she secretly ran the marathon and finished ahead of most of the men. “Word went out around the world that a woman had done the impossible,” says Gibb. “It changed the way men thought about women.”Gibb saw her first Boston Marathon in 1964, while running through her neighborhood. She was inspired to run the race herself. For nearly two years, Gibb trained to build the energy and strength she’d need to finish. But when she sent in an application for the 1966 race, it was turned down.At the time, the longest official races for women were only 1.5 miles. Many people didn’t think women were physically capable of running longer distances. Running a marathon was also seen as “unladylike.”But the 23-year-old Gibb refused to let go of her dream. She came up with a plan to run the race anyway. On April 19, she showed up at the marathon wearing her brother’s shorts and a sweatshirt to hide the fact that she was a woman.Gibb hid in the bushes near the starting line. When the race began, she jumped into the pack. Shortly into the race, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. To her surprise, the crowd cheered when they realized she was a woman. Gibb finished the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes — faster than two thirds of the male runners.Gibb opened the door for future female long-distance runners. In the years that followed, she and other women ran in the Boston Marathon, even though the rules still prohibited (禁止) women from running in the race. Finally, in 1972, the marathon was officially opened to women.4. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably refers to the thoughts that women couldn’t _____.A. win a long-distance raceB. take the place of menC. complete a marathonD. compete with men5. What happened to Gibb when she was found running the 1966 Boston Marathon?A. She ran back to the starting line.B. She got support from the crowd.C. She was driven away from the race.D. She took off her brother’s sweatshirt.6. Which of the following can best describe Gibb?A. Easy-going.B. Soft-hearted.C. Strong-willed.D. Open-minded.7. What’s probably the best title for the text?A. Leading a new lifeB. Running into historyC. Long-distance runnersD. The world’s oldest raceCFrom self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the UStechnology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs —just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report's co-author.“Technolog y will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.8. We can infer from the text that in the future _____.A. people will face many difficultiesB. people will take up more creative jobsC. artificial intelligence will threaten people's livesD. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces9. According to the report, _____.A. people won't necessarily lose jobsB. big companies will face fewer challengesC. small companies will win against big companiesD. most people will become interested in technology10. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?A. Mixed.B. Worried.C. Hopeful.D. Doubtful.11. Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.A. there will be enough jobs for peopleB. things will change a lot in a few yearsC. many people will become unemployedD. technology will totally change future jobs第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AReading poems can be a lot of fun for kids. With these children's poetry books, children will gain a new appreciation for poetry and the spoken word.Joyful Noise: Poems for Two VoicesThe entertaining sounds of insects fill these poems by Paul Fleischman, making it a favorite with 12-15-year-olds. These poems were written to be read aloud by two readers.Paul Fleischman received the John Newbery Medal for young people's literature for the book in 1989. Other recognition included: Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Honor Book, ALA Notable Children's Books list and so on.Eric Beddow's artwork, full page, detailed pencil pictures, are vivid and effective complements to the poetry, which brings insects to life when read aloud by two voices.You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Stories to Read TogetherPoet Mary Ann Hoberman is the author of the picture book, which includes the joyful pictures of Michael Emberley. The book contains very short story poems for two people to read aloud, alternately and together. Each of the 12 stories for 6-11-year-olds features rhythm, rhyme, and repetition, as well as humor and attention on the joys of reading.The book is one of a series of story poems. All the books are designed to be read aloud by two people, as if, says Hoberman, it's “a little play for two voices.” The two people can be an adult and a child or two children.Big Talk: Poems for Four VoicesPoems for four voices are much more challenging to present than poems for two voices, but middle school students tend to enjoy the challenge. The three-story poems in it will appeal to middle schoolers. The author, Paul Fleischman, provides a clear description of how to use the book. The poems are color-coded to make them easier for the four readers to keep track of their parts.I Am Phoenix: Poems for Two VoicesThe fifteen poems for two voices in the book are all about birds. Ken Nutt's soft pencil pictures complement the poems by Paul Fleischman. The words of each poem are in two columns, each to be read by one person, sometimes individually, sometimes together.1．Which book is written for primary school students?A. Big Talk: Poems for Four VoicesB. Joyful Noise: Poems for Two VoicesC. I Am Phoenix: Poems for Two VoicesD. You Read to Me, I'll Read to You : Very Short Stories to Read Together2．How is Big Talk: Poems for Four Voices different from the other 3 books?A. It goes with a CDB. It contains pictures.C. It has instructions for book-users.D. It is for two children to read aloud.3．Where may the passage be taken from?A. A novel.B. A website.C. A textbook.D. A science report.BThe morning had been a disaster.My tooth was aching, and I'd been in an argument with a friend.Her words still hurt: "The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place.Can't you see things from my point of view?" I shook my head stubbornly — and felt the ache in my tooth.I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable.I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately.Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky."If you come by right now," the receptionist said, "the dentist will fit you in."I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car.But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist.What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn't he as busy as the others?In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around.I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried.The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, "Don't worry.The dentist is very good.""How long do I have to wait for him?" I asked impatiently."Come on, he is coming.Just lie down and relax.And enjoy the artwork," the assistant said."The artwork?" I was puzzled.The chair went back.Suddenly I smiled.There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling.How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.What a relief!4．Which of the following best describes the author's feeling that morning?A. Cheerful.B. Nervous.C. Satisfied.D. Upset.5．What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?A. The dentist's agreeing to treat her at very short notice.B. The dentist's being as busy as the other dentists.C.

Strike while the iron is hot.B. Have a good word for one's friend.C. Put oneself in other's shoes.D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.CIn Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called "satellite kids", who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become "satellite kids", and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a "satellite kid".Recently Canadians and Americans discovered the "satellite kid" problem. Because these children do not speak English well and their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a "satellite kid" means growing up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means growing up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these "satellite kids" will probably say to their parents is that it's better to have parents around than to have a university education.8．Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because .A. they hope their children may easily find a job thereB. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countriesC. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countriesD. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends9．"Satellite kids" refer to Asian kids .A. without parentsB. living abroad aloneC. with university educationD. speaking no English10．Some Asian immigrant children become "satellite kids" because their parents .A.want to leave their own countriesB.want them to go to universityC.return to their countries to workD.want them to be independent11．What is the main idea of the passage?A.Parents want better education for their kids.B.Parents feel lonely and miss their families.C.Canadians and Americans begin to notice the "satellite kid"problem.D.Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from their families.DIn mid-November of 1963, an island was born in the North Atlantic, some 20 miles off the southwestern coast of Iceland. It had given only one sign of its coming. For three days, farmers on the neighboring Vestmann Islands had noticed a bad smell in the air like the odor of rotten eggs.Early on the morning of November 14, the captain of an Icelandic fishing ship saw black columns erupting from the sea through his telescopes. He suspected that he was seeing a volcano rising from the ocean. The hours that followed proved him right. He was watching the volcanic eruption that built the island later named Surtsey.Some days earlier, a volcano had started to erupt 425 feet below the surface of the sea. It poured out gases and volcanic ash and cinder. They began to build a mountain. By the morning of November 15, the top of the volcano was 33 feet above the water and stillgrowing rapidly. Columns of smoke and gases rose two miles into the air. Violent eruptions continued through the winter. In April 1964, the violent eruptions stopped, and lava began to flow. Surtsey,it seemed, had come to stay.To earth scientists and to biologists, Surtsey was endlessly fascinating. It offered a chance to study a new volcano and to see new land take shape. Earth scientists hoped that by studying what was happening to Surtsey, they would gain a better understanding of the forces behind its growth.Surtsey rose from a huge underwater mountain range that runs down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and is called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The ridge is the center of many earthquakes, and it is highly volcanic. Here and there its volcanic action has built mountains that thrust(猛推)through the surface of the ocean, creating small islands such as Surtsey. Long ago vast outpourings of lava from the ridge built the big island of Iceland.The ridge, however, is much more than a builder of islands. It is a sign of powerful forces at work within the earth. Many earth scientists are certain that these same forces are builders of continents and mountains and are the cause of the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. They see the ridge as a key to understanding the most basic secrets of the earth. These forces helped to shape our planet when it was young, to give it land and sea and air, and so to make it the kind of planet where life could develop. 12．What was the very first sign of Surtsey?A.Some smoke.B.Explosions.C.An unusual smell.D.A violent storm.13．What do we know about Surtsey?A.It is a huge underwater mountain range.B.It is located 20 miles off Vestmann Islands.C.It took Surtsey almost one year to come into being.D.It was produced by the strong forces within the earth.14．Why is studying Surtsey important to scientists?A.It tells more about the formation of the earth.B.It warns people of dangerous volcanic eruptions.C.It leads to the discovery of new energy sources.D.It helps predict when new islands will be formed.15．What is the passage mainly about?A.How an island was born.B.Where Surtsey rose from.C.What are the secrets to volcanic eruptions?D.Why the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is important.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ATears ran down from my eyes as I saw the essay my high school English teacher had just handed back. A big F was written on top. I was hopeless. I was stupid! My face burned with shame when my classmates called me stupid.“I’m the only one who doesn’t know my ABCs!” I sobbed to Mom.“I’ll help,” she promised.Every day I sat with her, but to me, cat looked like cta and red was reb. Frustrated(感到挫败的), I would return to my bedroom and draw, filling the paper with houses, restaurants and offices.“When I grow up, I want my own store,” I told Mom, pointing to my drawings.“That’s great!” she said, “but first you have to learn to read.”Later, I was diagnosed with dyslexia (失读症). So Mom took me to a learning centre, where I was given reading exercises. But I still had a hard time. Finally, I graduated, but I was afraid of my reading skills.“I’ll never get a job!” I cried to Mom later again.“Don’t focus on what you can’t do,” she comforted, “Concentrate on what you really can.”But what can I do? I wondered. Suddenly, I thought of the drawings I’d made as a child and my dream of having my own store. I enjoyed sales so much that over the next few years, I tried my hand at other businesses. Today, I watch over seven branches. We have 187 employees and $15 million in sales.While I’ll never be what my teachers might have wanted, I am a success--on my own terms. The other day a student sent me a card, reading: You gave me so much confidence. I hope to be like you when I am big. Tears of joy filled my eyes. This was my A, and I smiled.1. Why did the author feel so ashamed at school?A. His teacher ignored him in class.B. His teacher didn’t grade his essay.C. He failed to finish his essay in time.D. His classmates looked down upon him.2. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling to his mother?A. Grateful.B. Guilty(内疚的).C. Doubtful.D. Regretful.3. Which of the following can match the text?A. No pains, no gains.B. Never too old to learn.C. Every man has his value.D. Two heads are better than one.BChinese scientists report they have made a simple printer that uses water instead of ink. The printed characters last for a day on special paper, which can then be reused.“Every time you print it’s fresh,” said Professor Zhang at Jilin University in Changchun, China. “We are using an inkjet printer(喷墨打印机). We just fill the cartridges (墨盒) with water and put it back. It’s like normal printing. The magic is in the paper.”Printing typically involves large amounts of waste paper and expensive ink to prepare documents often read only once. This new method allows the paper to be reused numerous times at possibly cheaper running costs.Zhang and his team developed a special coating(涂层) on the paper that responds to the water. So far, they have been able to print various Chinese and English characters using four colors, with water as a key that activate the dye molecule (染料分子). The next step is to combine colors to get black. The possibility of reusing paper instead of throwing it away is rousing interest, according to Kia Barton, an expert in high-performance printing technology.“Going toward greener techniques of printing is helpful,” Baton said, “For standard typing, I think it’s an interesting idea and something worth exploring.”Zhang foresees advances in printing technology that will allow users to have entire newspapers or magazines printed at home with paper that could be recycled over and over again. Based on 10 yuan per sheet of water-jet paper, Zhang estimates the cost at one-seventeenth the present price of inkjet printing.That may not be cheap enough, however.“Technology for making rewritable paper is exciting as a new approach for avoiding the problem of single-use paper,” said Norman Marsolan. “Because the present paper products are inexpensive, however, this new technology will have to be cost-competitive, even if it can be rewritten may times.”4. Compared with traditional printing, the new tech ______.A. is more paper-savingB. attracts more usersC. uses a special printerD. produces longer-lasting characters.5. The under lined word “estimates” in Paragraph 7 means ______.A. reducesB. valuesC. checksD. controls6. Marsolan is more concerned about the new tech’s ______.A. effect on human lifeB. printing performanceC. typing problemsD. cost advantage7. What can be the best title of the text?A. The Rising Cost of InkB. The Importance of Reusing PaperC. New Ink-less Tech Prints with WaterD. The Magic of PaperCI came to Rio, Brazil to work one year ago. So what have I found here?●You need to learn PortugueseI started studying Portuguese about two years ago. I didn’t end up improving my Portuguese as much as I’d hoped before I came here. While Spanish and Portuguese are structurally quite similar, there are huge differences between the two. You can’t just magically understand Brazilians if you speak Spanish.●I didn’t need to bring heelsGoing out in cities like Buenos Aires is a big deal. You get dressed up, you do your hair, and you definitely wear heels--at least if you’re going out to dance.I had no idea how wrong I was. Yes, Rio is a city, but it’s a city on the beach. Of course, there are fancy clubs that probably expect everyone to show up in dress shoes(时装鞋), but most of the places I’ve been to are fine with sneakers(运动鞋), even for dancing.●Learning about pop music is a mustWhenever I go out and a pop song comes on, every single other person there sings along to all the words. I still haven’t understood if there are only 25 songs that get played in public or if people really do just have a fantastic memory for lyrics, but either way, I wish I’d spent a bit more time practicing Brazilian pop music soI wouldn’t look like such a lost foreigner.●Airplanes are a surprisingly sensitive subjectIn Brazil, the credit for modern flight goes to Alberto Santos Dumont. Brazilians say the Wright Brothers’use of a catapult(飞机弹射器) was technically cheating and point to their man as the real pioneer of the plane. Therefore, be careful before bringing up the subject of planes in Brazil unless you’re re ady for a lecture.8. What language do Brazilians speak?A. SpanishB. PortugueseC. EnglishD. French9. What can we infer about Brazilians?A. They are fond of dancing.B. They understand Spanish.C. They are informally dressed.D. They have a good memory.10. What topic should you avoid in Rio?A. The history of planes.B. Dressing styles.C. Pop music.D. Spanish.11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To tell us something about Portugal.B. To share her life in Rio as a foreigner.C. To give foreigners in Rio some suggestions.D. To encourage us to learn a foreign language.DA schoolgirl saved her father’s life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic(过敏的) reaction which stopped his heart.Izzy, nine, restarted father Colm’s heart by stamping(踩) on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing.Izzy’s mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father, so decided to use CPR.However, she quickly discovered her arms weren’t strong enough, so she stamped on her father’s chest instead.Debbie then took over with some more conventional(常见的) chest compressions(按压) until the ambulance arrived.Izzy, who has been given a bravery award by her school, said：“I just kicked him really hard. My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn’t strong enough to use hands.I was quite scared. The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse. My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his chest.”“She’s a little star,” said Debbie. “I was really upset but Izzy just took over.I just can’t believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid. Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up. Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and we’ve got to see an expert.”Truck driver Colm, 35, suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital, but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day. Thesecond attack was so serious that his airway swelled(气道肿胀), preventing him from breathing, his blood pressure dropped suddenly, and his heart stopped for a moment.He has now made a full recovery from his suffering.12. Izzy kicked her father in the chest _______.A. to express her helplessnessB. to practice CPR on himC. to keep him awakeD. to restart his heart13. What’s the right order of the events?① Izzy kicked Colm.② Debbie called 999.③ Izzy learned CPR.④ Colm’s heart stoppedA.③①②④B.④②③①C.③④②①D.④③①②14. What does Paragraph 8 mainly talk about?A. What Colm suffered.B. Colm's present condition.C. What caused Colm’s allergy.D. Symptoms of Colm’s allergic reaction.15. Why does the author write the news?A. To describe a serious accident.B. To prove the importance of CPR.C. To report a 9-year-old girl’s brave act.D. To call people’s attention to allergic reaction.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
