2017年高考押题卷英语(二)第二部分阅读理解第一节AWith exams just around the corner, now is a good time to explore some of UCL’s lesser-known study spaces and get down to some revision. Here are some good choices for you.UCL Senate House HubUCL Senate House Hub opene d in 2015 and provides 144 study spaces. What’s more, you can check how many spaces are available online before you head to the hub! Located on the third floor of the South Block of Senate House, the center has room for individual and group study in traditional library spaces, as well as casual arm chairs and bar-style desks.UCL Eastman Dental LibraryThe newly refurbished UCL Eastman Dental Library is located halfway along Gray’s Inn Road and is open from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am–8:00 pm. The library has 72 study spaces, and many IT facilities are available. The library also has a study room for meetings and a computer room with an interactive whiteboard.UCL Language & Speech Science LibraryUCL Language & Speech Science Library (LaSS) has disabled access and has recently been refurbished to add extra study spaces. With only 49 spaces, LaSS is smaller than most other UCL Libraries and tends to fill up relatively quickly, so get there early to avoid disappointment.Senate House LibraryThis one may be cheating as the Senate House Library is not technically a UCL library. However, all UCL students and staff can register for free membership online. With millions of books and journals, Senate House Library offers some places a little less used by UCL students but perfect for getting down to some hard work.21. The four places are mainly introduced to someone who __________.A. loves readingB. is preparing for examsC. likes learning onlineD. prefers to study in libraries22. What should students do online before they go to UCL Senate House Hub?A. Make an appointment in advance.B. Check the library’s opening hours.C. Check whether there are available seats.D.

LaSS may be the smallest one among the four li braries.BKathy Fletcher and David Simpson have a son named Santi. He had a friend who sometimes went to school hungry. So Santi invited him to occasionally eat and sleep at his house.That friend had a friend and that friend had a friend, and now when you go to dinner at Kathy and David’s house on Thursday night there might be 15 to 20 teenagers gathering around the table, and later there will be groups of them crashing in the basement or in the few small bedrooms upstairs. The kids who show up at Kathy and David’s have suffered the pains of modern poverty: homelessness, hunger, abuse.And yet by some miracle, hostile soil has produced beautiful flowers. Kids come from around the city. Spicy chicken and black rice are served. Cellphones are banned. The kids who call Kathy and David ―Momma‖ and ―Dad,‖ are polite and clear the dishes. Birthdays and graduations are celebrated. Songs are performed. Each meal we go around the table and everybody has to say something nobody else knows about them. Each meal the kids show their promise to care for one another.The adults in this community give the kids the chance to present their gifts. ―At my first dinner, Edd read a poem that I first thought was from Langston Hughes, but it turned out to be his own. Kesari has a voice that somehow appeared from New Orleans jazz from the 1920s. Madeline and Thalya practice friendship as if it were the highest art form.‖―They give us a gift — complete intolerance of social distance. When I first met Edd, I held out my hand to shake his. He looked at it and said, ―We hug here,‖ and we’ve been hugging since.‖Bill Milliken, a veteran youth activist, is often asked which programs turn aro und kids’ lives. ―I still haven’t seen one program change one kid’s life,‖ he says. ―What changes people is relationships. Somebody is willing to walk through the shadow of the valley of adolescence with them.‖ Souls are not saved in bundles. Love is the necessary force.25. Why do kids come to Kathy and David’s house on Thursdays?A. To help the homeless at first hand.B. To experience the feeling of home.C. To learn about the modern poverty.D. To plant beautiful flowers in poor soil.26. Why isn’t the use of cell phones allowed at Thursday dinners?A. Kids need to tell stories about themselves.B. Kids are expected to care more for each other.C. Kids have to do house chores around the home.D. Kids prepare songs for birthdays and graduations.27. What gift did the writer get at a Thursday dinner?A. The practice of the art form.B. The pleasure of enjoying jazz.C. The chance to listen to poems.D. The zero distance between souls.28. What does Bill mean in his words?A. Love is the power to change a kid’s life.B. Money is needed to start programs for kids.C. A program can change a group of kid’s lives.D. Kids change their relationships in a program.CDo you like eating processed meat? If you do, think twice now if you want to eat such meat for the sake of your health. Why? It’s because eating processed meat can cause cancer, World Health Organization (WHO) experts said last Monday.Processed meat is meat that has been preserved by salting, smoking, drying or canning. Experts from the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France studies 800 patients. The experts connected processed meat, such as hot dogs and bacon, with at least three kinds of cancer. A person who eats 50 grams of processed meat per day—about two pieces of bacon—increases his or her risk of bowel(肠) cancer by 18 percent.[来源:Z_xx_]The IARC has included processed meat in its Group 1 list, for which there is ―enough evidence‖of connection with cancer. Tobacco is also on the Group 1 list.WHO experts also say red meat, including beef, lamb and pork, is ―probably‖carcinogenic (致癌的) to humans. Dr. Kurt Strait is with the IARC. He said in a statement that the risk of cancer increases with the amount of meat a pers on eats. Health experts in some countries advised against eating large amounts of red and processed meat. But those suggestions had been centered on the increased risk of heart disease and obesity.However, meat industry groups protest the result of the WHO study. They say that meat is part of a balanced diet. They also say the causes of cancer are broad, and include environment and lifestyle factors.The WHO report cites the Global Burden of Disease project, which shows that diets high in processed meat lead to 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide.29. It can be inferred that the items on the Group 1 list of the IARC ________.A. are all processed foodsB. aren’t often eaten by peopleC. can be the most dangerous to humansD. can greatly increase the risk of cancer30. What can take the place of the underlined word ―protest‖?A. Learn from.B. Disagree with.C. Take interest in.D. Pay attention to.31. What can be used as the best title of the passage?A. WHO: Processed Meat Can Cause CancerB. The Importance of Having a Balanced DietC. Eating Too Much Red Meat Is Bad for HumansD. Scientists Found the Causes of Some Kinds of CancerDIf you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple—eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.[来源:Z_xx_]During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory – w here people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV –where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble, while the TV people ate either a KitKat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, ―Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start.’Harley Street psychologist Dr Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, ―This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.32. According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who______.A. has the same taste as themB. advertises his products on TVC. reduces the price of his productsD. pays attention to the quality of his products33. The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ______.A. food plays an important role in earning people’s trustB. bosses like employees that have the same taste as themC. people who have similar tastes to their boss’s earn moreD. people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV34. What can be inferred from the passage?A. People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.B. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.C. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn’t been proved by researchers.D. People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.35. Which of th e following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?A. Honesty is the best policy.B. All good things come to an end.C. Birds of a feather flock together.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.第二节We all know that being grateful and appreciative is very beneficial. ____36____ Gratitude belongs to the category of advanced life skills because it can completely transform your life.Help others turn away from negativity.

I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic fied it in just a few minutes. He new what was wrong by simply listening to the engine sound. I was amaed. The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.I am constantly shoced at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that lessthan 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specialies in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase,“They are one sill away from great wealth.”There is an old saying that goes,“JOB means ‘Just Over Broe’”.And unfortunately,I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because schools do not thin financial intelligence is intelligence,most worers “live within their means”.They wor and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend that young people see wor for what they will learn,more than what they will earn.When I as the classes I teach,“How many of you can coo a better hamburger than McDonald's?” almost all the students raise their h ands. I then as,“So if most of you can coo a better hamburger,how come McDonald's maes more money than you?” The answer is obvious McDonald's is ecellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their sills at building a better hamburger rather than the sills of selling and delivering the hamburger.25. The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .A. he is just one of the talented peopleB. he is ready to help othersC. he has a sharp sense of hearingD. he nows little about car repairing26.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by“”.A. spend more than they can affordB. do in their own wayC. live in their own circleD. live within what they earn27. Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?A. They don't wor hard enough.B. They lac financial intelligence.C. They don't mae full use of their talents.D. They have no specialied sills.28. The main purpose of the author is to tell us .A. how young people can find a satisfactory jobB. what schools should teach about financeC. why so many talented people are poorD. how McDonald's maes much moneyCRegarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John eats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although eats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16, the teenage John eats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taen too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Eaminer in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, eats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticied by a magaine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his pursuit of rhythm (韵律).John eats’ net wor was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John eats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life eperiences. He would have to have the “nowledge” associated with his poems. His net wor was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would eep him from his wor and eventually tae his life in 1821.29. John eats’ attitude towards life changed because of _________.A. his early education from schoolB. the deaths of his parentsC. Edmund Spenser’s poetryD. the criticism of a magaine30. What is the common thing between John eats and his mother?A. They died of the same disease.B. They had a bad childhoodC. They read many boos.D. They showed strong interest in poetry31. While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet first, John eats was _________.A. determinedB. eperiencedC. nowledgeableD. impatient32. What do we now from the passage?A. eats received little education at school.B. eats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.C. In 1816 eats spent two months writing a poem.D. Endymion was about a real love story.DEveryone nows that death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases---clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still berevived(复活). Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaing up” of vital cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable and final.Scientists have been seeing a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, co mbined with narcotic sleep. By slowing down the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.To illustrate how this wors, scientists performed an eperiment on a si-year-old female money called eta. The scientist put eta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checing her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery. The money’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped clinical death set in. For twenty minutes eta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial br eathing. After two minutes eta’s heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes, spontaneous(自发的)breathing began, and after four hours eta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After si hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, eta seied the syringe and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.33. Scientists try to mae the time of clinical death longer in order to _________A. cool the organism.B. delay the coming of biological death.C. slow down the body’s metabolism.D. bring vital cells and tissues bac to active life.34. How did the scientists put eta into clinical death?A. By putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood.B. By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood.C. By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating.D. By draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.35.All of the following indicate that the money has almost restored to her original physical state ecept the fact that _________A. her heart beat again.B. she rejected a penicillin injection.C. she regained her normal breath.D. she acted as lively as a healthy money.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。

He didn't have food,water,a phone,or other supplies.He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was.He tried not to panic.He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV.It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing.There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put.The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow.If he didn't,his body temperature would get very low,which could quickly kill him.Using his skis,Nicholas built a snow cave.He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle.Then he piled branches on top of himself,like a blanket,to stay as warm as he could.By that evening,Nicholas was really hungry.He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water.Not knowing how much longer he could last,Nicholas did the only thing he could﹣he huddled (蜷缩)in his cave and slept.The next day,Nicholas went out to look for help,but he couldn't find anyone.He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave,because without shelter,he could die that night.On Tuesday,Nicholas went out again to find help.He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him.After two days stuck in the snow,Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV.He had often watched Grylls' survival show Man vs.Wild.That's where he learned the tips that saved his life.In each episode(一期节目)of Man vs.Wild,Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds,he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.21.What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A.He got lost.B.He broke his skis.C.He hurt his eyes.D.He caught a cold.22.How did Nicholas keep himself warm?A.He found a shelter.B.He lighted some branches.C.He kept on skiing.D.He built a snow cave.23.On Tuesday,Nicholas.A.returned to his shelter safely.B.was saved by a searcher.C.got stuck in the snowD.stayed where he was24.Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he.A.did the right things in the dangerous situation.B.watched Grylls' TV program regularlyC.created some tips for survivalD.was very hard﹣working.25.(8分)Share with us!Would you like to have your writing

bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way,said Cynthia Breazeal,chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework,social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.For example,these robots will be able todistinguish when someone is happy or sad.This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot,arranged to ship later this year,is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot,ask it questions,and make requests for it to perform different tasks.The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions;it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household.It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home.They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market.The company's "Oshbot" robot is built to assist customers in a store,which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store.It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans,the more it learns.But Oshbot,like other social robots,is not intended to replace workers,but to work alongside other employees."We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us,but with us,"said Breazeal.29.How are social robots different from household robots?.A.They can control their emotions.B.They are more like humans.C.They do the normal housework.D.They respond to users more slowly.30.What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A.Communicate with you and perform operations.B.Answer your questions and make requests.C.Take your family pictures and deliver milk.D.Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.31.What can Oshbot work as?.A.A language teacher.B.A tour guide.C.A shop assistant.D.A private nurse.32.What does the passage mainly present?.A.A new design idea of household robots.B.Marketing strategies for social robots.C.Information on household robots.D.An introduction to social robots.33.(6分)A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding﹣﹣﹣﹣undoubtedly first﹣rate photo﹣journalism﹣﹣﹣if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩),by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian﹣built three﹣master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇)across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well﹣researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant﹣navy officer who had got to within100miles of the South Pole in 1908,started a business before his 1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.33.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A.They were made last weekB.They showed undersea sceneriesC.They were found by a cameramanD.They recorded a disastrous adventure34.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A.Frank HurleyB.Ernest ShackletonC.Robert Falcon ScottD.Caroline Alexander35.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage?A.Artistic creationB.Scientific researchC.Money makingD.Treasure hunting.第二节(共1小题;每小题10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.选项中有两项为多余选项.36.(10分)This Way to DreamlandDaydreaming means people think about something pleasant,especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them.They can seem forgetful and clumsy.(36)They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history.(37)Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?First,understand that some opportunities(机会)for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.(38)And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming,try to do it while you are involved in another task﹣preferably something simple,like taking a shower or walking,or even making meaningless drawings.It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate."Mindfulness",being focused,is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.(39)Finally,you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.(40)Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.A.Having interesting things to think about also helps.B.They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C.Without wandering minds,we wouldn't have relatively,Coke or Post﹣it notes.D.At one time,daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E.It involves slow,steady breathing for self﹣control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F.Daydreams are often very simple and direct,quite unlike sleep dreams,which may be hard to understand.G.Therefore,it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.第二部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节完形填空(共1小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.41.(30分)A Welcome GiftDario and his mother loved their new apartment.The living room was

It is, however, expected to be fast.Many chains like McDonald's have struggled with slower food delivery in recent years, because there are more items on the menu. But the world's largest restaurant chain, which serves 68 million customers daily in 119 countries, is trying to change that.For several months, McDonald's has been testing what's called the “justforyou experience”. In 200 U S restaurants (and more than 2,000 across the globe), customers are able to order directly from a self-serve kiosk(售货亭), after which an employee brings the meal directly to the table.McDonald's chief executive Steve Easterbrook, speaking at a McDonald's in New York's Tribeca neighbourhood on Thursday, said the company has long expected customers to adapt to its business model of ordering at the counter and then waiting to collect their own food. Now, he said, “We're adapting our business around customers.”It showed that “test runs at more than 500 restaurants…showed an increase in foot traffic and试卷第2页,共12页contributed to a mid-single-digit percentage increase in restaurant sales, lifting the 5 to 6 average check by 1, on average.” Customer satisfaction scores also increased, “because families, in particular, appreciat e having their food brought to them.”The company also announced the beginning of a new mobile order-and-pay app, which would allow customers to order and pay for food from their smart phones.Mike, a common customer, said, “As a father of two small childre n, I'm every fast-food chain's target customer. My wife and I try to avoid McDonald's when possible, but like many parents we end up going. I've used the self-serve kiosks and like them a lot: they're easy to use, reduce the pressure of making a choice with impatient customers behind you, and make a big difference in delivery time. I just hope they don't start expecting me to tip.” 1、Why do many chains have a slower food delivery in the past several years? A .Because they have struggled many expectations. B .Because they have more dishes to serve people. C .Because they have the world's largest restaurant chains. D .Because sometimes they have too many customers.2、How do customers get their food after ordering food self-serve kiosks? A .By testing McDonald's machine. B .By taking food by themselves. C .By letting waiters bring food for them. D .By letting employees serve for them.3、What's the result of trying “justforyou experience”? A .It is a great success. B .It caused traffic jam.C .It's well received only by app users.D .It still needs to be observed.4、What can we infer from what Mike said? A .His family don't like McDonald's. B .He's willing to give tips for good service. C .Self-serve kiosks are a good choice. D .It's hard for him to spend the delivery time.“Smombies”—people walking while staring at their smart phones—are very real and a growing cause for concern. Tired of having to constantly alert both locals and tourists to pay more attention to their surroundings to avoid serious accidents, authorities of a small German town have come up with a more positive solution—embedding(嵌入) traffic lights in the pavement to make them visible to people constantly looking down at their phones.The seemingly ridiculous safety measure was put in place. Authorities in Augsburg decided to act, installing ground level traffic lights at two tram(有轨电车) stops last Tuesday. The lights flash red every time a tram is approaching, or when the regular traffic light turns red. “We realized that the normal traffic light isn't in the line of sight of many pedestrians these days,” said Tobias Hermes, a city administration official. “So we decided to have an additional set of lights—the more we have, the more people are likely to notice them.”Some Augsburg residents appear to be quite happy with the idea.“I think it makes sense,” Jack Smith said, speaking to TheAugsburgerAllgemeine. “One always sees young people these days running over red lights. This makes it more obvious that you need to stop.”Others, however, found the need for ground traffic lights disturbing and even frightening. “I find it scary that smart phone users are so engrossed that they need to install lights in the ground so that they notice the tram coming,” one person told the loc al paper.But do this kind of pavement-embedded lights actually work? Well, if one interviewed teenager is to be believed, not really. “To be honest I didn't even notice it,” he told TheAugsburgerAllgemeine. “Maybe it'd be useful at night, but yeah, I didn't realize it was there until just now.”The word “smombie”—a mashup of the words smart phone and zombie—was born in Germany. It was voted “youth word of the year” in 2015, but the serious consequences of this behaviour are no laughing matter.5、Which of t he following about “smombies” is TRUE?A.It refers to people who are fond of walking.B.It refers to people who are looking at phones while walking.C.It refers to people who concern others very much.D.It refers to people who hate locals and tourists.6、Which of the following can replace the underlined word “engrossed” in Paragraph 4? A.Disturbed.B.Frightened.C.Addicted.D.Encouraged.试卷第4页,共12页7、What may be the best title for the text?A .Ground traffic lights for people looking at smart phonesB .Effective ways to educate people to obey traffic rulesC .The meanings of ground traffic lightsD .The serious problem of traffic safetyI was sitting in a fast food restaurant with my two children, who at the time were about 6 and 9. Inside there was also a group of teens in Gothic(哥特式的) dress and appearance. Everyone kept away from them inside the restaurant.Outside the restaurant, people jumped past the homeless man searching the garbage bin, who was looking for food or perhaps a cigarette. I too had rushed past him with my youngsters, refusing his request for money but thinking maybe, just maybe, I would bring him some food. It turned out that I didn't have to.One girl in the Gothic youth jumped up, went to the counter and ordered more food, which she then took outside to the homeless man and sat on the bench with him, chatting away as he ate. He didn't say much —he was greedy —but I think I saw a bit of a smile and a flash in his eyes as he nodded to her questions.Writing this now, several years later, I still choke up. That girl was a model citizen living the values of goodness and kindness. These are values I have always held high and hoped to teach my kids. She made my job much easier. We stopped by on our way out and thanked her for setting such a positive example for us. I hope that hearing that has made as much of a difference in her life as seeing what she did has made to ours.8、Why did people keep away from the teens in the fast food restaurant? A .Because they were dressed in Gothic dress. B .Because they were too young to pay their meal. C .Because they liked to quarrel with others. D .Because they killed two children.9、What did the homeless man want the author to do? A .To help him get money. B .To bring him some food. C .To provide him with money.D .To refuse to take care of him.10、It can be inferred that the homeless man ________. A .was very greedy in deedB .was very hungry at that timeC .didn't like talking with others muchD .didn't answer the girl's questions11、What can we learn about the author from the passage? A .The author is also a model citizen like the girl. B .The author sets a good example for the girl. C .The author is deeply moved by the girl. D .The author has sympathy for the girl.WE WILL NEVER FORGETELEPHANT ENDOTHELIOTROPIC HERPESVIRUS (EEHV) IS A DEADLY VIRUS WHICH AFFECTS YOUNG ELEPHANTS GLOBALLY.

AI remember the first time that I was extremely happy. I wasabout 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code(编码)for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself an infinite number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introductionto algebra, and I didn't even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learningand what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self learning and computers, and I was quite happydoing them too.I've noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements.Success, wealth, or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.21. What can we know from Paragraph 1?A. The author has a great talent for algebra.B. Creative thinking is necessary for every child.C. The BASIC code of the computer is not difficult.D. The author's experience in his childhood changed his life.22. The underlined word "infinite" means .A. bigB. limitlessC. normalD. small23. The author wants to tell us through his experience in the school thatA. interest is the best teacherB. children are the hope of the futureC. young people are fearlessD. where there's a will, there's a way24. We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. people who are rich and successful in career generally feel unhappyB. wealth can't bring people any happiness and comfortC. one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things that he wantsD. being enthusiastic about what you do is more important than wealthBParents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I've seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling (懒散地躺))himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t knowwhat to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.” He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白 ) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly. ” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.“Where did we go wrong?” Her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.25. This passage is most probably written by_________.A. a specialist in teenager studiesB. a headmaster of a middle schoolC. a parent with teenage childrenD. a doctor for mental health problems26. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refersto________.A. the change from good to bad that's seen in a childB. the way that parents often blame themselvesC. the opinion that a child has of his parentsD. the advice that parents want their children to follow27. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters _________.A. pay no attention to themB. are too busy to look after themC. have come to hate themD. feel helpless to do much about them28. What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?A. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.B. Parents should pay still more attention to the change.C. Parents should work more closely with school teachers.D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.CLife in the ClearTransparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It’s trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much, Light can pass through it without bending orsto pping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it—you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials—skin, fat, and more—and light moves through each at a different speed. Every timelight moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see—through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的) material and spread themselves over it .Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.29.According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals _______.A. stay in groupsB. can be easily damagedC. appear only in deep oceanD. are beautiful creatures30.The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means __________.A. silentlyB. graduallyC. regularlyD. completely31.One way for an animal to become transparent is to ________.A. change the direction of light travelB. gather materials to scatter lightC. avoid the absorption of lightD. grow bigger to stop light32.The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals ________.A. move more slowly in deep waterB. stay see-through even after deathC. produce more tissues for their survivalD. take effective action to reduce light spreadingDDid you know that a bowl of rice could save your iPod if youdrop it in a swimming pool by accident? Or that the camera on your phone could tell you what's wrong with your TV remote control? The experts at Geek Squad () have made a gadget(小机件) rescue guide. So, let’s take a look at some of their useful advice.How to get more juice out of your phone battery?If your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up. That may give you a tiny bit of power. Take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands. Or warmit under your arm for a few minutes. Then try to start the phone – but use it quickly.What to do if your gadget gets wet?First, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner isn’t at hand, fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your we gadget inside. The dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget. Don’t forget to remove the battery and SIM card before you dry it.What to do if your TV remote control stops working?If replacing the batteries doesn’t work, get the camerafunction up on your phone and point the remote at the lens(镜头). When you press a button on the remote, if it's working then the glassbobble(小球) at the front of the remote will light up when you look atit on the screen of your phone. This is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays (红外线), even though your eyesdon't. If the glass bobble doesn’t light up, the remote is broken. Ifit does, the receiving device is broken.33. If your cell phone falls into a sink, you can .A. warm it up under your arm.B. put it into the uncooked rice.C. press it with both of your hands.D. remove the battery after you dry it.34.Why can a phone be used to prove the TV remote control works well?A. Because it can receive infrared ray.B. Because it can reflect infrared ray.C. Because it can improve the TV remote control.D. Because it can picture the TV remote control.35. In which section of a newspaper can we possibly read this text?A. EntertainmentB. FinanceC. CultureD. Life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。

AEvery year, billions of ilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. The food ends up in landfills, producing harmful greenhouse gases. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy, affordable meals.Evan Lut is passionate about correcting that social injustice. And he combines that goal with a passion for business. "My entire life I've wanted to become a social entrepreneur, not just starting a business that made money but also one that gave bac. I'm just an average guy with a passion towards maing sure no food goes to waste and maing sure no person's ever hungry in America and I want to do that through business."Lut is CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest. Hungry Harvest is a business which collects and sells "ugly" produce. These are fruits and vegetables that most food companies would throw away. "If you go to a grocery store everything is growing thesame eact way. Right. So all that stuff that doesn't grow the same way gets wasted and gets thrown out. And so we tae all that stuff that normally get thrown out because it's too big too small in odd sie of shape, we bo it up into a variety boes and we deliver to our customers once a wee. We hire people that were living in homeless shelters they were really looing to get a chance in life."In January 2016, Lut appeared on the American business competition televisi on show "Shar Tan." It connects investors with entrepreneurs. Lut sought a $50,000 investment in Hungry Harvest, in echange for a five percent stae in his company. He got even more than he epected $100,000 for 10 percent ownership.21. The purpose of writing paragraph 1 is to ________.A. tell us how serious the waste isB. inform us many people have not enough to eatC. remind us of the unfairness of the societyD. lead out the topic of the passage【解析】目的意图题。

least one book for the summer.This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem﹣inability to read.In the library,I found my way into the "Children's Room."I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random.The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle.I had recently had a beagle,the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer,but one morning,he was gone,given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him.I never forgot my beagle.There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title,Amos,the Beagle with a Plan.Unknowingly,I had read the title.Without opening the book,I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush,I started to read about Amos.I read very,very slowly with difficulty.Though pages were turned slowly,I got the main idea of the story about a dog who,like mine,had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home.That dog was my dog,and I was the little boy in the book.At theend of the story,my mind continued the final scene of reunion,on and on,until my own lost dog and I were,in my mind,running together.My mother's call returned me to the real world.I suddenly realized something:I had read a book,and I had loved reading that book.Everyone knew I could not read.But I had read it.Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my "miraculous"(奇迹般地)experience that summer,but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.And years later,she was proud that her son had read thousands of books,was awarded a PhD in literature,and authored his own books,articles,poetry and fiction.The power of the words has held.21.The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to.A.encourage him to do more walkingB.let him spend a meaningful summerC.help cure him of his reading problemD.make him learn more about weapons22.The book caught the author's eye because.A.it contained pretty pictures of animalsB.it reminded him of his own dogC.he found its title easy to understandD.he liked children's stories very much23.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?.A.The author has become a successful writer.B.The author's mother read the same book.C.The author's mother rewarded him with books.D.The author has had happy summers ever since.24.Which one could be the best title of the passage?.A.The Charm of a BookB.Mum's Strict OrderC.Reunion with My BeagleD.My Passion for Reading.25.(8分)Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium (水族馆)The all﹣new Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium,situated in the

to a friend.He looked at me for a moment,and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I've ever had:Be bold and brave﹣and mighty (强大的)forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past,it was seldom because I had tried and failed.It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.On the other hand,whenever I had plunged into deep water,forced by courage or circumstance,I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision tobite off more than you can eat.And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.They are potential powers we possess:energy,skill,sound judgment,creative ideas﹣even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly,those mighty forces are spiritual ones.But they are more important than physical ones.A college classmate of mine,Tim,was an excellent football player,even though he weighed much less than the average player."In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player,who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,"said Tim."I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet﹣and stopped him cold."Boldness﹣a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme﹣is not one that can be acquired overnight.But it can be taught to children and developed in adults.Confidence builds up.Surely,there will be setbacks (挫折)and disappointments in life;boldness in itself is no guarantee of success.But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So,always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities﹣and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.29.Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?.A.He faced huge risks.B.He lacked mighty forces.C.Fear prevented him from trying.D.Failure blocked his way to success.30.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?.A.Swallow more than you can digest.B.Act slightly above your abilities.C.Develop more mysterious powers.D.Learn to make creative decisions.31.What was especially important for Tim's successful defense in the football gam.A.His physical strength.B.His basic skill.C.His real fear.D.His spiritual force.32.What can be learned from Paragraph 5?.A.Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.B.Trying without success is meaningless.C.Repeated failure creates a better life.D.Boldness can be gained little by little.33.(6分)MultitaskingWhat is the first thing you nitice when you walk into a shop?The products displayed (展示)at the entrance?Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell?Unless it is bad,the answer is likely to be no.But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sight sand sounds,it is certainly there.And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance,via scent machines.A smell may beattractive but it may not just be used for freshening air.One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores,customers' intension to purchase increased by 80percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs,scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on slaes.That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Some years ago,the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants' disproving attitude and don't﹣touch﹣what﹣you﹣can't﹣afford displays.Now the rise of electronic commerce (e﹣commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience.But while e﹣shops can use sights and sounds,only bricks﹣and﹣mortar stores (实体店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave.Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop,but rather a destination.And scent is just one way to achieve this.Now a famous store uses complex man﹣made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department,and coconut (椰子)scent in the swimsuit section.A department store has even opened a new lab,inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books,pots and drawers,in search of their perfect scent.33.According to the passage,what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A.Friendly assistant.B.Unique scents.C.Soft background musicD.attractive window display.34.E﹣shops are mentioned in the passage to.A.ashow the advantages of brick﹣and﹣mortar storesB.urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC.push stores to use sights and soundsD.introduce the rise of e﹣commerce35.The main purpose of the passage is to.A.compare and evaluateB.examine and assessC.argue and discussD.inform and explain.第二节(共1小题;每小题10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.选项中有两项为多余选项.36.(10分)Public Speaking Training•Get a coach(36),so get help.Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses,here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.•Focus on positivesAny training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well.Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well.(37),so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.(38)If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts,walk away!Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about.(39).As far as we're concerned,there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking.Your audience can be your friends.You are a special person not a cloneMost importantly,good public speaking training should treat you as a special one,with your own personal habits.(40).Your training course should help you bring out your personality,not try to turn you into someone you're not.A.You aren't like anybody elseB.You already do lots of things wellC.Turn your back on too many rulesD.Check the rules about dos and don'tsE.Whatever the presentation,public speaking is toughF.The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleepG.So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse.第二部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节完形填空(共1小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.41.(30分)The Fitting﹣in of Suzy KhanThe first time I saw Suzy Khan,I knew I had to help her.She was really small for her age of 12.The boy in my class often (41)about her and laughed their heads off.She would open a book,pretending to read,with

four﹣year﹣old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and,being a city animal,lost both her sheep and her sense of direction.Then she ran along the edge of cliff(悬崖)and fell 100feet,bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard of Cornwall,who turned up in seconds.Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90﹣minute search.Three days later,a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall.Mr.Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead.He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks,the Holdens were heartbroken.Then,one day,the phone rang and Steve Tregear,the coastguard of Cornwall,asked Holder if he would like his dog bark.A birdwatcher,armed with a telescope,found the pet sitting desperately on arock.While he sounded the alarm,a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff.She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge."The dog was very thin and hungry,"Steve Tregear said,"It was a very dog.She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,"he added.It was,as Mr.Holden admitted,"a minor miracle(奇迹)".21.The dog Jody fell down the cliff when she was.A.rescuing her ownerB.caught in a hurricaneC.blocked by a rockD.running after a sheep22.Who spotted Judy after the accident?.A.A birdwatcherB.A student from LeedsC.Six volunteersD.The coastguard of Cornwall23.What can we infer from the text?.A.People like to travel with their pets.B.Judy was taken to the

Coastguard.B.Surviving a Hurricane.C.Dangers in the WildD.Coming Back from the Dead.25.(8分)You probably know who Marie Curie was,but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson.Of the outstanding ladies listed below,who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams(1860﹣1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.Addams helped the poor and worked for peace.She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson(1907﹣1964)If it weren't for Rachel Carson,the environmental movement might not exist today.Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O'Connor(1930﹣present)When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School,in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.She became an Arizona state senator(参议员)and,in 1981,the first woman to join the U.S.Supreme Court.O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks(1913﹣2005)On December 1,1955,in Montgomery,Alabama,Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white

window.These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300feet﹣as far as most light can reach.Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch.Sonke Johnsen,a scientist in biology,says,"These animals live through their life alone.They never touch anything unless they're eating it,or unless something is eating them."And they are as clear as glass.How does an animal become see﹣through?It's trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light.Light typically travels in a straight line.But some materials slow and scatter(散射)light,bouncing it away from its original path.Others absorb light,stopping it dead in its tracks.Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it,so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesn't absorb or scatter light,at least not very much,Light can pass through it without bending or stopping.That means a transparent object doesn't look very different from the surrounding air or water.You don't see it ﹣﹣﹣﹣you see the things behind it.To become transparent,an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light.Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素)that absorb specific colors of light.But a transparent animal doesn't have pigments,so its tissues won't absorb light.According to Johnsen,avoiding absorption is actually easy.The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials﹣﹣﹣﹣skin,fat,and more﹣﹣﹣﹣and light moves through each at a different speed.Every time light moves into a material with a new speed,it bends and scatters.Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering.Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat.Without much tissue to scatter light,it is easier to be see﹣through.Others build a large,clear mass of non﹣living jelly﹣lie(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it.Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge,because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does.They need to look uniform.But how they're doing it is still unknown.One thing is clear for these larger animals,staying transparent is an active process.When they die,they turn a non﹣transparent milky white.29.According to Paragraph 1,transparent animals.A.stay in groupsB.can be easily damagedC.appear only in deep oceanD.are beautiful creatures30.The underlined word"dead"in Paragraph 3means.A.silentlyB.graduallyC.regularlyD.completely31.One way for an animal to become transparent is to.A.change the direction of light travelB.gather materials to scatter light.C.avoid the absorption of lightD.grow bigger to stop light.32.The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals.A.move more slowly in deep waterB.stay see﹣through even after deathC.produce more tissues for their survivalD.take effective action to reduce light spreading.33.(6分)Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life,mostly for the better.However,social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college.Surveys (调查)on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be"very"or"somewhat"overly﹣protective even after their children move into college dormitories.The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago.This usually interpreted as a sign that today's parents are trying to manage their children's lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However,greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their "adult" children.In the context (背景)of this discussion,it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents' involvement with their grown children.If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college﹣agechildren frequently,would this have been possible?Probably not.On the other hand,does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn't present a generation ago?Many studies show that older parents﹣today's grandparents﹣would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore,studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children.The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new;nor are requests for more money to be sent from home.This phenomenon is neither good nor bad;it is a fact of college life,today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology,we live in an age of bettered communication.This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college.But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.33.The surveys inform us of.A.the development of technologyB.the changes of adult children's behaviorC.the parents' over﹣protection of their college childrenD.the means and expenses of students' communication34.The writer believes that.A.parents today are more protective than those in the pastB.the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantagesC.technology explains greater involvement with their childrenD.parents'changed attitudes lead to college children's delayed independence 35.What is the best title for the passage?A.Technology or AttitudeB.Dependence or IndependenceC.Family Influences or Social ChangesD.College Management or Communication

extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However,forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness,anger and stress and more hopefulness,according to a recent research.(36)Try the following steps:Calm yourself.(37)You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love.Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.(38)Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者).Rethinking about you hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain.Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you.(39)If you understand your offender,you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness,fear,and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.Don't forget to forgive yourself.(40)But it can rob you of your self﹣confidence if you don't do it.A.Why should you forgive?B.How should you start to forgive?C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D.Try to see things from you offender's angle.E.For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F.To make your anger die away,try a simple stress﹣management technique.G.If you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.第二部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节完形填空(共1小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.41.(30分)My fiance (未婚夫)and I were excited about shopping for our first home.But our

AEvery year, TIME editors take a look at the past year’s coolest inventions. Last year, they picked 25 favorites. These inventions are making the world better, smarter and a little more fun. Here are some exciting ones. A See-through TruckToo often people meet with car accidents because a large vehicle blocks their view. This is especially true in Argentina. The South American country is known for its winding and narrow roads. However, Samsung and ad agency Leo Burnett have come up with a creative solution: the Safety Truck. The system sends video footage(片段)in front of a truck to four screens on its back. It gives drivers a clear view of what’s ahead.A Virtual(虚拟的)Pencil and PaperIn the 450 years or so since its invention, a pencil has become so common. It’s easy to forget how great technology is. It writes darker words when you press it harder. Its marks can be erased(擦掉). It’s difficult to digitally copy the way it works. That’s what makes Apple’s latest effort so impressive. The Apple Pencil allows users to draw, paint, or write on a screen, just as they do on a piece of paper. The Apple Pencil goes for $99, and the iPad Pro is $799+.Easy-on ShoesIn 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,’’ he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike appointed a design team to the challenge. This year, they came up with their solution: the Flyease. The basketball shoes can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike Flyease shoes sells for $130.21. How does a See-through Truck help avoid the accidents?A. By putting a big block in front of a car.B. By sending video footage in front of a truck to four screens on its back.C. By writing something on a screen, just as they do on a piece of paper.D. By having to worry about someone rushing out in front of the truck every time.22. What makes Apple’s latest effort so impressive?A. The Apple Pencil allows users to draw, paint, or write on a screen.B. The Apple Watch gives users exact time when people need to know it.C. The Apple Pencil goes for $99, and the iPad Air is $799+.D. The Apple Pencil leaves darker marks on the screen and its marks can’t be erased.23. Which of the following would Tom, a disabled boy with one hand, like to own?A. A See-through Truck.B. A Virtual Pencil and Paper.C. A Flying Bicycle.D. Easy-on Shoes.英语试题 第5页(共12页) 英语试题 第6页(共12页)BA solar plane on a round-the-world journey has reached the point of no return over the Pacific Ocean after departing Hawaii, and now it ’s California or bust.The plane was cruising over the cold northern Pacific late Thursday at about 6,000 meters with a nearly-full battery as night descended (降临), according to the website that’s recording the journey of Solar Impulse 2.After some uncertainty about winds, the plane took off from Hawaii and was on course to land in Mountain View, California, in about three days. The crew that helped it take off was clearing out of its Hawaiian hangar (飞机库)and headed for the mainland for the weekend arrival.At one point the plane was passed by a Hawaiian Airlines jet whose passengers caught a glimpse of the Solar Impulse 2 before the powerful airliner left the slow-moving one behind.The aircraft landed in Hawaii in July and was forced to stay in the islands after the plane’s battery system sustained heat damage on its trip from Japan.The aircraft started its journey in March 2015 from Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, and made stops in Oman, Myanmar, China and Japan. It’s on the ninth leg of its circumnavigation (环行).Pilot Bertrand Piccard, who is flying the latest leg of the trip, was confident on Thursday that things would goaccording to plan.Piccard and his co-pilot Andre Borschberg were in charge of the mission. The team was delayed in Asia. When first attempting to fly from Nanjing to Hawaii, the crew had to divert to Japan because of unfavorable weather and a damaged wing.A month later, when weather conditions were right, the plane departed from Nagoya in Japan for Hawaii. 24. What does the underlined phrase “California or bust” mean in the first paragraph? A. Success or failure. B. Return or California. C. Damage or repair.D. Destination and success.25. What is the name of the solar plane? A. Hawaiian Air Jet. B. Andre Borschberg. C. Solar Impulse 2.D. Solar Challenger.26. Why did the solar plane stay in Japan for a month?A. Because the plane’s battery system sustained heat damage on its trip.B. Because it was a slow-moving solar plane.C. Because the weather was unfavorable and a wing was damaged.D. Because both of the pilots have no confidence about the solar plane.27. What is the best title of the passage? A. A Solar Plane Trip in Asia B. The Round-the-world TripC. Solar Plane Soars (高飞)from Hawaii to CaliforniaD. A Pleasant Solar Plane Trip from Japan to CaliforniaCHeart transplant surgery is a common medical treatment in the United States. Some doctors are skilled at removing the heart from someone who has just died, and then preparing it for another person who needs a new heart. Nationwide, about 4,000 new patients a year are listed for a heart transplant. But only about 2,500 are able to have the operation.The reason is that there is a shortage of organ donors. Some people do not want to donate their organs or those of a loved one. But also, some donated organs do not make it to the surgery room in the right condition for transplant. Once the organ is removed from the donor, there is only a short time to get the organ to the person who needs it. The average length is four to six hours. After that, the organ begins to fail. This can be a problem if the donor died far away from the recipient (接受者).Traditionally, the donated hearts are transported in an ice box. Keeping the organ on ice has been the best way to preserve it. Medical workers sometimes carry the box on a helicopter or airplane. Now, a new travel box contains equipment that keeps the heart beating during transport. The only time it stops beating is for a few minutes — just before it is placed into the chest of the person receiving it.For more than a year, the Organ Care System has been tested in the United States. The system, also known as “heart in a bo x ”, has an American manufacturer, a company called TransMedics. TransMedics develops a transport pump to preserve the heart function, which allows doctors to better match the hearts to the recipients so that more of the hearts that are being donated can actually be used and implanted into recipients.The equipment has been tested on flights up to 11 hours long. The machine pumps donated blood through the organ, so it can work as it does inside a body.Doctors say the new technology alone will not end the need for more donated hearts. They are urging Americans to register to become an organ donor.28. What makes the heart transplant patients difficult to get a new heart? A. Some doctors are skilled at removing the heart from a donator in the US. B. The number of new patients a year listed for a heart transplant is about 4,000.英语试题第7页(共12页)英语试题第8页(共12页)C. The number of heart donators a year is not enough for the operations.D. Only about 2,500 are able to have the heart transplant operation.29. What might be a problem for the heart transplant operation?A. Some donated organs make it to the surgery room in the right condition for transplant.B. There is only a short time to get the organ to the person who needs it.C. The average length of keeping removed hearts is four to six hours.D. The donated heart has a long way to go to reach the patient who needs it.30. How does the Organ Care System work during a long travel for the donated heart?A. It allows doctors to better match the hearts to the recipients.B. It contains a pump that keeps the heart beating during transport.C. It has been tested in the United States for more than a year.D. It pumps donated blood through the organ, just as it does outside a body.31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. More Americans are eager to donate their hearts after their death.B. The need for more donated hearts is still a problem at present in the US.C. Doctors are urging Americans to register to become an organ donor.D. The new technology alone can provide more chances for the heart recipients.DI stand in the playroom holding an empty suitcase. We are moving from Switzerland to Singapore and can only pack a few toys to keep us going until the rest arrive by ship months later.In go the story cubes — imaginative picture dice(骰子)that inspire stories and drawings. Both kids like working with their hands, so in go pom-poms, pipe cleaners and paper punches(纸打孔机). Next, a kingdom of small animal statues marches two-by-two into the case. They have been my children’s favorites in the past month.But the rest have hardly been touched — and the shelves are still packed with various toys. So why do we have so many toys?Psychologist Oliver James, author of the parenting book Love Bombing says, “Most children need a transition object, for example, their first teddy bear that they take everywhere. But everything else is a socially generated want.”Yet, it seems we are keen to generate our children’s wants — the Toy Retailers Association reports that the British alone spend £3bn each year on toys.Those who advocate fewer toys say children will seem to fight less if they have a wide choice of toys, but, at the same time, they may learn to think of nobody but themselves.Joshua Becker, a father of two who writes about how to simplify both home and lifestyle, says, “People co-operate better and share when resour ces are limited, and the same is true for children.” This minimalism (极简主义)affects the whole Becker family, with the kids given a limited space to store their toys, forcing them to adopt a “one in, one out” policy.He sees his kids “filling their time with creativity” — taking their cycles to the park, inviting friends over to play with dolls, and doing art projects. In addition, he says, they can focus for a longer time, take better care of their possessions and grow more resourceful.Now Swiss cold will be replaced by Singaporean rains. The change forces me to consider minimalism. Maybe the kids don’t need them —in fact, we’re not short of ways to play more with less.32. What’s the main reason that the author only brings several toys?A. She can’t carry too many toys with her.B. She decides to give her children fewer toys.C. Her children don’t like the rest of their toys.D. The new playroom is too small for all the toys.33. What’s Oliver James’ attitude towards children having too many toys?A. He doesn’t believe it.B. He doesn’t support it.C. He is curious about it.D. He is worried about it.34. According to Joshua Becker, what is one of the advantages of minimalism?A. Valuing time.B. Saving money.C. Children fighting less.D. Children playing outdoors.35. What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Changes.B. Ways.C. Policies.D. Toys.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。
