But there are as many different kinds of music as there are differentlanguages, and it is impossible to describe them all. Here are just a few well-known types.Classical music is serious Western European music from the Middle Ages to the present (1500 to today) and it was often written for a large orchestra, or for a small group of players. Many instruments can be used. A lot of music was also written to be sung — as opera. Classical music is very popular and schools often teach this type of music.Jazz developed in the Southern United States at the beginning of last century. The black people of these states, who were originally slaves from Africa, had their own rhythms. Jazz brought classical music and African rhythms together.Blues was originally black country music from the Southern United States at the beginning of last century. It is slow, usually sad music which is often sung by one person with a guitar.Rhythm and Blues (R&B) developed from the blues in America in the 1940s. It became faster and more complex and used more instruments, eg. saxophones (萨克斯管), guitars, pianos, drums. The music was often about city life and white musicians started playing it as well.Musicians in the 1950s developed rock ‘n’ roll from Rhythm and Blues and it became popular with young people. It spread to Europe in the 1960s and is now known in most countries.A lot of pop music comes from rock ‘n’ roll.Pop music developed from rock ‘ n’ roll in America and Britain in the 1960s and is now in every country. The name is used for most commercial (商业的) music, which we can buy on records and hear on “pop radio”. It is usually played by groups who often use electronic instruments and make videos to go with their records.24.Which of the following started in the Southern United States?A.Rhythm and Blues.

Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask, “How could you?”--but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind.Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.28.Why was the dog excited about the car ride?A.It thought of moving with its master.B.It hoped to be adopted(收养)by another family.C.It was longing for the life at the poundD.It was happy about its master's decision.29.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 shows that ________.A.the dog had done many bad things B.the dog would be given less careC.the master's decision upset the dog D.the master left the dog with regret 30.Which is true about the dog when it lived at the pound?A.It felt disappointed with its master. B.It continued to love its former owner.C.It did not trust humans any more. D.It was excited about the pound. 31.What is the theme of the story?A.Be ready for changes. B.Never expect too much.C.Never complain about your life. D.Be faithful to those who love you.DEven for a first-time visitor to China, it is impossible to ignore the popularity of Quick-Response (QR) codes. These square-shaped black-and-white symbols in WeChat or Alipay where QR codes are scanned to add new friends or make payments.The QR Code system originated in Japan. The engineer Masahiro Hara felt the limitation of the one-dimension barcode in use and thus developed the QR codes which could carry data horizontally and vertically. QR codes could hold much more information than barcode due to their extra dimension. In addition, QR codes have larger data capacity, smaller print—out size and higher resistance to dirt and damage, which make them widely applied in many other applications.Though the technology of QR codes is complicated, we can easily create our own QR codes with the help of QR code generators, many of which are available online for free. Users could enter the data they wish the QR code to display, and the generator turns it into a symbol that can be printed or displayed in electronic form. The process of creating QR codes could be really fun when we customize the design of the codes according to our specific needs. For instance, we can adjust the color, add a logo, and create social options etc. Moreover, dynamic (动态的) QR codes are also available. They are more various than standard QR codes because they allow users toedit data entered previously whereas data in standard QR codes cannot be edited once printed. Plus, don’t limit your QR code to one mobile scanner. Anyone can scan your code with any reader.A lower barrier to entry makes success more likely for you and the user.Meanwhile, we must also recognize the vulnerability of QR codes. Due to its easy access, criminals can steal simply by replacing the QR codes with their own, routing cash into their own bank accounts. Hence, we should all become more conscious towards virtual money transactions through QR codes and participate in additional security measures.32.Which of the following is NOT a function of QR codes?A.Data storage.B.Scanning reader.C.Social networking.D.Mobile payment.33.Why is barcode mentioned in paragraph 2?A.To introduce the main topic.B.To show the author’s attitude.C.To highlight the features of QR codes.D.To add some background knowledge.34.Which of the following best explains “vulnerability” underlined in paragraph 4? A.Threat. B.Weakness.C.Difficulty. D.Simplicity.35.Which is true about QR codes according to the text?A.They were first used in China.B.The generators charge the users a lot.C.Data editing is possible in printed QR codes.D.More scanning devices are available in reading QR codes.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。

At that time, most advice on nutrition came from North American and European countries. Nutritionists suggested foods that were common and worked well for people who lived in these nations.For example, they told poor Indian women to eat more meal and eggs and drink more orange juice. But Lakshmi knew this advice was useless in a country like India. People there didn’t eat such foods. They weren’t easy to find. And for the poor, such foods were too expensive.Lakshmi knew that for the program to work, it had to fit Indian culture. So she decided to adjust the nutrition program. She first found out what healthy middle-class people in India ate. She took note of the nutrients(营养物) available in those foods. Then she looked for cheap, easy-to-find foods that would provide the same nutrients.She created a balanced diet of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and grains. These foods were cheap and could be cooked with simple equipment. Her ideas were thought unusual in the 1960s. For example, she insisted that a diet without meal could provide all major nutrients. Now we know she was right. But it took her continuous efforts to get others to finally accept her diet about 50 years ago. Because of Lakshmi’s program, Indian children almost doubled their food intake. And many children who would have been hungry and ill grew healthy and strong.24. Why did Lakshmi think European nutritionists’ advice was useless?A. It worked well for European people.B. It suggested too many foods for Indians.C. It was not practical in India at that time.D. It included foods that didn’t exist in India.25. Lakshmi studied healthy middle-class people’s diet in order to .A. know about their eating habitsB. learn about Indian cultureC. find out nutrients in their foodD. write a report on food nutrients26. Lakshmi’s balanced diet was considered unusual because people thought .A. those foods were too cheapB. it should include some meatC. it provided all major nutrientsD. it enabled kids to grow healthy27. What can we infer about Lakshmi?A. She came from a rich family.B. She disliked middle-class people.C. She worked with European nutritionists.D. She was a determined scientist.CBlack FridayThe day after Thanksgiving is the start of the holiday shopping season. Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, so the day after is a Friday. This day has come to be known as Black Friday. It has been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005.Most stores offer great deals on Black Friday. They open their doors in the small hours of the morning. They try to attract shoppers with big discounts. Some items like TVs are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.Black Friday is a great time to get good deals. The problem is that there are not enough low-priced items to go around. Each store may only have a few. These items are in high demand. People stand in long lines to get such great deals. They may line up hours before a store opens. They may be hoping to get a low price on a TV or laptop, but not everyone who wants one will get one. Some people leave disappointed.The situation can be tense. Some Black Friday events have been violent. Large, eager crowds have trampled workers. Fights have broken out over toys or people cutting in line. People have shot one another over parking spots. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan on going, expect large crowds and a bit of pushing and shoving.So where does the name “Black Friday” come from? It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The police called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it drew. In the 1960s, spread across the country. It seems that it is here to stay.Now people all over the country take part in the event known as Black Friday. It is even spreading to other parts of the world. Stores have held Black Friday events in the U.K., Australia, and Brazil since 2012. In Costa Rica Black Friday is known as “Viernes Negro”. And in Mexico, stores offer an annual weekend of discounts. They call it “El Buen Fin”, which means “the good weekend” in Spanish. I guess the language of savings is universal.28. Why do stores set prices so low on some items that they lose money?A. They want people to enjoy the holidays.B. They are generous at the beginning of the holiday season.C. They hope people will buy other gifts while they are in the store.D. They are trying to get rid of old items.29. Which best concludes the main idea of the third paragraph?A. People stand in long lines on Black Friday.B. Black Friday is a really disappointing time of the year.C. Black Friday is the best time of the year to get good deals.D. Black Friday deals are limited and not everyone will get one.30. Which best describes the overall structure of the fifth paragraph?A. Order of time.B. Problem and solution.C. Order of importance.D. Compare and contrast.31. Which title best expresses the author’s purpose in writing this text?A. Black Friday: Stories from the Parking LotB. Black Friday: Why You Should Go This YearC. Black Friday: The Stuff That You Should KnowD. Black Friday: How to Save Money on the Big DayDWatching what you eat can be easier said than done, but a recent study shows it might not just be about what’s on your plate — it could be about how quickly it disappears.Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adults for five years, splitting them into three categories based on how quickly they ate: slow, normal, and fast. They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, sharing their diet, physical activity, and medical history. In the beginning, none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome(新陈代谢综合征) — meaning at least three risk factors — which can lead to health problems like heart conditions and diabetes.When the participants reported back five years later, 84 had been diagnosed (诊断) with metabolic syndrome —and their eating speed was a major predictor, according to the results in the journal Circulation. The fast eaters were 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters. Just 2.3 percent of slow eaters received the diagnosis, compared to 11.6 percent of fast eaters. But that’s not all. Fast eaters also saw more weight gain, larger waistlines, and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.The researchers say gobbling makes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signal you to stop. “So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,” sa id Takayuki Yamaji, MD, study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating, too. One study of New Zealand women found fast eaters have higher body-mass indexes (指数), and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate less when told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing. Initial research even suggests chewing your food longer could burn more calories — up to about 1,000 extra every month.32. What are the participants divided by?A. Medical history.B. Health condition.C. Physical activity.D. Eating speed.33. Which may be the result of the study?A. Fast eaters are 4 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome.B. Normal and slow eaters don’t have metabolic illness.C. 89% of fast eaters have higher blood pressure.D. Slow eaters are healthier than fast eaters.34. What does the underlined word “gobbling” in Paragraph 4 best mean?A. Tasting slowly.B. Digesting quickly.C. Eating greedily.D. Cooking carefully.35. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. The importance of eating speed.B. The advantage of eating slowly.C. The result of a Chinese study.D. Fast eating and overeating.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。

AThe Gift of LifeMost couples demonstrate their love on February 14 with flowers or chocolates. But these four men and women have offered the ultimate loving gesture — the gift of life. Each sacrifice has enabled their loved ones to live full and active lives again after serious illness.I’D Do THE SAME FORHERMichele Johnson, 53, has been married to Gay, 57, for 26 years.With her husband suffering from a congenital(先天性的) kidney condition, in 2013 Michele gave him one of hem. Gay said: “I needed to be hooked up to a dialysis(透析) machine. I had no quality of life at all. However, I felt great as soon as I woke up after the operation. I told her I’d do the same for her.”I LOVE BRENDA TO BITSBrenda Green, 62, met her husband Keith, 63, when she was 24 and they married five years later. When Brenda was told five years ago she needed a kidney transplant, she cried. I’ll give you mine.” Keith said without hesitation. “Brenda is my wife and I love her to bits.”MY WIFE’S MY HEROStephen Heavyside, 61, and wife Patricia, 62, have been married for 40 years. Stephen said: “I was diagnosed with adult polycystic kidney disease five years ago. Patricia took good care of me and donated a kidney. This has brought us even closer.”He said “Patricia’s gift changed my life.She is my hero.”DECISION WAS EASYAnna Stevens, 48, and husband Gary, 53, of Watford, Herts, have been wed for 23 years. Anna donated a kidney to her husband. She said of the transplant: “It was the easiest decision I’ve ever made.” Gary said. “There’s only two words that I can use to describe her: My angel.”21.

Theyhad me tested to see if my blood sugar was high because they thought that might be causing my symptoms.My blood sugar was five times higher than normal. That can be deadly. My parents rushed me to the hospital. That's when my whole life changed.The doctors said I had Type 1 Diabetes (糖尿病). That means my body can't make insulin (胰岛素). There's no cure.My parents had to give me insulin shots every day and I had to get over my fear of needles quickly. Sometimes I had 10 band-aids on my fingers at once.Now that I'm older, I check my own blood sugar and give myself shots. About four years ago, my mom started traveling to rural Guatemala. She goes twice a year to help people in need.I have been a Girl Scout since kindergarten. For a Girl Scout project, I put together a team to go to Guatemala to test people there for diabetes. We went for four days last July. We tested 378 children and 100 adults. We found three adults with a different kind of diabetes, called type 2. We also found one little girl with dangerously low blood sugar. She cried when we told her. She had been feeling dizzy and didn't know why. It was like replaying what happened to me when I was little. I talked through a translator, but everyone understood hugs. I gave more hugs than I've ever given.Having type 1 diabetes is hard. But I have accepted it readily. It has helped me meet amazing people. It has made me responsible and independent. It has also shown me the power of taking action. I'm going back to Guatemala this summer to test more kids. I want to help as many kids as I can. But my greatest wish is fora cure. Type 1 diabetes changes your life.

This is the future of air travel according to Japanese company First Airlines, which has used the power of virtual reality to create dream vacations.Passengers avoid the costly airport transfer, the baggage fees or busy airport terminal(航站楼) — and instead enjoy the privileges of business or first-class travel and an expensive tour of Paris —all while remaining motionless in Tokyo. As well as Paris, First Airlines also offers the virtual destinations of New York, Rome and Hawaii.After boarding, guests can settle down for the two-hour flight on their advanced Airbus seat —surrounded by decoration that is modeled on the inside of an aircraft, for maximum realism. There is flight service and VR, foods, music for every destination. Passengers will be served a delicious meal by air stewards, alongside drinks and other desserts. The menu depends on the destination of choice — Manhattan clam chowder and cheesecake for New York and salmon tartar and onion soup for Paris. After landing at the destination, guests can enjoy a 360-degree tour of the destination — all thanks to projection(投影) mapping and video.It makes for a supposedly stress-free vacation, perfect for those whose ability to travel abroad is limited by cost or health. Virtual reality is becoming increasingly present everywhere at all times in the world of travel — allowing travelers to appreciate the wonders of the world, all without leaving their house.At just 4,980 yen($ 46) for business class and 5,980 yen($ 56) for first class — these two-hour flights are far more affordable than their real-life flights. Tokyo citizens eager to experience First Airlines can booka trip on the website, with reservations currently being taken until May 2018.28.

What can be the best title for the text?A. A Scientific Fantasy.B. The Power of Virtual Reality.C. Japan’s Virtual Air Travel Abroad.D. Appreciation of the Global Wonders.DSkeptics are a strange lot. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much popularity. That book, The Skeptic Environmentalist, dec lares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborg’s views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborg’s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg’s “preference for unexamined materials is incredible(不可信的)”.A critical(批判的) eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become half-blinded before a world partially exhibited by the media. That’s a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.32. According to the passage, which of the following may b e regarded as “skeptics”?A. People who agree on the popularity of “eco-guilt”.B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.33. Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg’s book?A. Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests.B. The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.C. The author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews.D. Industry–funded media present confusing information.34. The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to____.A. voice a different opinionB. find fault with Lomborg’s bookC. challenge the authority of the mediaD. point out the value of scientific views35.

They were simply too poor. But Wagner was planning a surprise gift.For more than two months he had been crafting a piece of music to be performed out side Cosima’s bedroom door on Christmas morning. He had based it on themes later to be used in his opera Siegfried, plus a little nursery song he had written for their children two years earlier. He completed the Siegfried Idyll three weeks before Christmas and arranged for conductor Hans Richter to choose the members of the small orchestra. Richter conducted secret rehearsals, first in Zurich then at a hotel in Lucerne.Wagner invited philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche to the final rehearsal on Christmas Eve at the Hotel du Lac and they arrived to gether at the Wagners’ home in the village of Trihschen. There they found Cosima decorating the Christmas tree and preparing presents for the children.At seven o’clock on Christmas morning the musicians arrived and q uietly arranged themselves on the stairs outside Cosima’s room. They began to play.“As I awoke to the light of dawn,” Cosima said later, “my mind passed from one dream into another. Familiar sounds from Siegfried came to my ears. It was as if the house or more accurately our entire being, was rising up in music and going up to heaven. Sacred memories, birdsong and sunrise, interwoven with music from Siegfried calmed my heart and I came to realize that I was not dreaming, and yet was experiencing the most wonderful one of all dreams. Now at last I understood all of Richard’s writing in secret.”And yet Wagner had kept his promise not to buy his wife a Christmas present. December 25th was Cosima’s birthday.24.

A surprise gift.CA 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(航行) over the cold northern Pacific late Thursday at about 6,000 meters with a nearly-full battery as night descended(降临), a ccording to the website that’s recordin g the journey of Solar Impulse 2.After some uncertainty about winds, the plane took off from Hawaii and was on course(在正确的航线上) 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 l anded 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(行程) of its circumnavigation(环行).Pilot Bertrand Piccard, who is flying the latest leg of the trip, was confident on Thursday that things would go according 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.28. W hat 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.29. What is the name of the solar plane?A. Hawaiian Air Jet.B. Andre Borschberg.C. Solar Impulse 2.D. Solar Challenger.30. 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.31. What is the best title of the passage?A. A Solar Plane Trip in AsiaB. The Round-the-world TripC. Solar Plane Soars(高飞)from Hawaii to CaliforniaD. A Pleasant Solar Plane Trip from Japan to CaliforniaDScientists in Western Australia claim to have made a new discovery — they have found gold in the leaves and twigs of trees. The researchers believe that the trees suck up the gold from deep underground, over 30 metres down. The discovery hasbeen described as the first of its kind in the world. Australian gold exploration companies are pleased because it will make finding gold cheaper. Rather than drilling deep holes to find gold, they have more ways to examine tree leaves and branches. There is only a tiny amount of gold in the leaves. It would take 500 trees to make one gold ring. The gold is found using a special X-ray machine owned by an Australian government agency. A pure X-ray and a powerful microscope scan the leaves and branches.The claim that this is the first time that gold particles(微粒) have been found in living material might not be true, though. Ancient Chinese wisdom understood the connection between plants and the precious stones and minerals underneath them. They used plant life to find minerals and that was thousands of years ago. In the Zhou Dynasty, it was written in a book that a certain plant grew only near deposits of gold. Over the next 2,000 years, Chinese people wrote about different plants and how they grew, showed where minerals and precious stones such as jade, copper, lead, silver and gold were.Even more importantly, in the 1,000s, Su Song described how copper, gold, silver, lead(铅) and tin(锡) were observed and taken from certain plants. These were amazing scientific discoveries. Meanwhile, this knowledge was unknown in the rest of the world until about 1,600. This was when a British man realised that oak trees grew larger and greener where there was alum(明矾) in the ground. Maybe ancient Chinese has more knowledge to teach modern scientists.32. What can we know from Paragraph 1?A. 500 dead trees can make one gold ring.B. The trees can absorb the gold from deep underground.C. Scientist have found gold 30 meters below underground.D. The companies find it hard to find gold.33. How do scientists find gold in the leaves?A. By observing the leaves carefully.B. By drilling deep holes.C. By using a special X-ray.D. By referring to ancient books.34. Who first discovered that there was connection between plants and minerals?A. Ancient Chinese people.B. Su Song.C. Australian scientists.D. A British man.35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To introduce two great scientists in ancient times.B. To provide more evidence to support the writer’s opinion.C. To show how ancient people got gold from certain plants.D. To prove that ancient Chinese has more knowledge than modern scientists.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。

Latin American Festival.BLakshmi grew up in India in the first half of the twentieth century, seeing many people around her who did not getenough food, were often sick and died young.In the 1960s, she was asked to help manage a program to improve nutrition in her country. At that time, most advice on nutrition came from North American and European countries. Nutritionists suggested foods that were common and worked well for people who lived in these nations.For example, they told poor Indian women to eat more meal and eggs and drink more orange juice. But Lakshmi knew this advice was useless in a country like India. People there didn’t eat such foods. They weren’t easy to find. And for the poor, such foods were too expensive.Lakshmi knew that for the program to work, it had to fit Indian culture. So she decided to adjust the nutrition program. She first found out what healthy middle-class people in India ate. She took note of the nutrients(营养物) available in those foods. Then she looked for cheap, easy-to-find foods that would provide the same nutrients.She created a balanced diet of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and grains. These foods were cheap and could be cooked with simple equipment. Her ideas were thought unusual in the 1960s. For example, she insisted that a diet without meal could provide all major nutrients. Now we know she was right. But it took her continuous efforts to get others to finally accept her diet about 50 years ago. Because of Lakshmi’s program, Indian children almost doubled their food intake. And many children who would have been hungry and ill grew healthy and strong.24. Why did Lakshmi think European nutritionists’ advice was useless?A. It worked well for European people.B. It suggested too many foods for Indians.C. It was not practical in India at that time.D. It included foods that didn’t exist in India.25. Lakshmi studied healthy middle-class people’s diet in order to .A. know about their eating habitsB. learn about Indian cultureC. find out nutrients in their foodD. write a report on food nutrients26. Lakshmi’s balanced diet was considered unusual because people thought .A. those foods were too cheapB. it should include some meatC. it provided all major nutrientsD. it enabled kids to grow healthy27. What can we infer about Lakshmi?A. She came from a rich family.B. She disliked middle-class people.C. She worked with European nutritionists.D. She was a determined scientist.CBlack FridayThe day after Thanksgiving is the start of the holiday shopping season. Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, so the day after is a Friday. This day has come to be known as Black Friday. It has been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005.Most stores offer great deals on Black Friday. They open their doors in the small hours of the morning. They try to attract shoppers with big discounts. Some items like TVs are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.Black Friday is a great time to get good deals. The problem is that there are not enough low-priced items to go around. Each store may only have a few. These items are in high demand. People stand in long lines to get such great deals. They may line up hours before a store opens. They may be hoping to get a low price on a TV or laptop, but not everyone who wants one will get one. Some people leave disappointed.The situation can be tense. Some Black Friday events have been violent. Large, eager crowds have trampled workers. Fights have broken out over toys or people cutting in line. People have shot one another over parking spots. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan on going, expect large crowds and a bit of pushing and shoving.So where does the name “Black Friday” come from? It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The police called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it drew. In the 1960s, spread across the country. It seems that it is here to stay.Now people all over the country take part in the event known as Black Friday. It is even spreading to other parts of the world. Stores have held Black Friday events in the U.K., Australia, and Brazil since 2012. In Costa Rica Black Friday is known as “Viernes Negro”. And in Mexico, stores offer an annual weekend of discounts. They call it “El Buen Fin”, which means “the good weekend” in Spanish. I guess the language of savings is universal.28. Why do stores set prices so low on some items that they lose money?A. They want people to enjoy the holidays.B. They are generous at the beginning of the holiday season.C. They hope people will buy other gifts while they are in the store.D. They are trying to get rid of old items.29. Which best concludes the main idea of the third paragraph?A. People stand in long lines on Black Friday.B. Black Friday is a really disappointing time of the year.C. Black Friday is the best time of the year to get good deals.D. Black Friday deals are limited and not everyone will get one.30. Which best describes the overall structure of the fifth paragraph?A. Order of time.B. Problem and solution.C. Order of importance.D. Compare and contrast.31. Which title best expresses the author’s purpose in writing this text?A. Black Friday: Stories from the Parking LotB. Black Friday: Why You Should Go This YearC. Black Friday: The Stuff That You Should KnowD. Black Friday: How to Save Money on the Big DayDWatching what you eat can be easier said than done, but a recent study shows it might not just be about what’s on your plate — it could be about how quickly it disappears.Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adults for five years, splitting them into three categories based on how quickly they ate: slow, normal, and fast. They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, sharing their diet, physical activity, and medical history. In the beginning, none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome(新陈代谢综合征) —meaning at least three risk factors — which can lead to health problems like heart conditions and diabetes.When the participants reported back five years later, 84 had been diagnosed (诊断) with metabolic syndrome — and their eating speed was a major predictor, according to the results in the journal Circulation. The fast eaters were 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters. Just 2.3 percent of slow eaters received the diagnosis, compared to 11.6 percent of fas t eaters. But that’s not all. Fast eaters also saw more weight gain, l arger waistlines, and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.The researchers say gobbling makes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signal you to stop. “So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,” sa id Takayuki Yamaji, MD, study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating, too. One study of New Zealand women found fast eaters have higher body-mass indexes (指数), and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate less when told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing. Initial research even suggests chewing your food longer could burn more calories — up to about 1,000 extra every month.32. What are the participants divided by?A. Medical history.B. Health condition.C. Physical activity.D. Eating speed.33. Which may be the result of the study?A. Fast eaters are 4 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome.B. Normal and slow eaters don’t have metabolic illness.C. 89% of fast eaters have higher blood pressure.D. Slow eaters are healthier than fast eaters.34. What does the underlined word “gobbling” in Paragraph 4 best mean?A. Tasting slowly.B. Digesting quickly.C. Eating greedily.D. Cooking carefully.35. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. The importance of eating speed.B. The advantage of eating slowly.C. The result of a Chinese study.D. Fast eating and overeating.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。

B Music is a language which speaks to everyone — from the day we are born we hear music of some kind of our lives. But there are as many different kinds of music as there are different languages, and it is impossible to describe them all. Here are just a few well-known types. 此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号Classical music is serious Western European music from the Middle Ages to the present (1500 to today) and it was often written for a large orchestra, or for a small group of players. Many instruments can be used. A lot of music was also written to be sung — as opera. Classical music is very popular and schools often teach this type of music.Jazz developed in the Southern United States at the beginning of last century. The black people of these states, who were originally slaves from Africa, had their own rhythms. Jazz brought classical music and African rhythms together.Blues was originally black country music from the Southern United States at the beginning of last century. It is slow, usually sad music which is often sung by one person with a guitar.Rhythm and Blues (R&B) developed from the blues in America in the 1940s. It became faster and more complex and used more instruments, eg. saxophones (萨克斯管), guitars, pianos, drums. The music was often about city life and white musicians started playing it as well.Musicians in the 1950s developed rock ‘n’ roll from Rhythm and Blues and it became popular with young people. It spread to Europe in the 1960s and is now known in most countries. A lot of pop music comes from rock ‘n’ roll.Pop music developed from rock ‘ n’ roll in America and Britain in the 1960s and is now in every country. The name is used for most commercial (商业的) music, which we can buy on records and hear on “pop radio”. It is usually played by groups who often use electronic instruments and make videos to go with their records. 24.Which of the following started in the Southern United States?A.Rhythm and Blues.

Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask, “How could you?”--but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they wav ed me goodbye. And “How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind.Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.28.Why was the dog excited about the car ride?A.It thought of moving with its master.B.It hoped to be adopted(收养)by another family.C.It was longing for the life at the poundD.It was happy about its master's decision.29.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 shows that ________.A.the dog had done many bad things B.the dog would be given less careC.the master's decision upset the dog D.the master left the dog with regret30.Which is true about the dog when it lived at the pound?A.It felt disappointed with its master. B.It continued to love its former owner.C.It did not trust humans any more. D.It was excited about the pound.31.What is the theme of the story?A.Be ready for changes. B.Never expect too much.C.Never complain about your life. D.Be faithful to those who love you.DEven for a first-time visitor to China, it is impossible to ignore the popularity of Quick-Response (QR) codes. These square-shaped black-and-white symbols in WeChat or Alipay where QR codes are scanned to add new friends or make payments.The QR Code system originated in Japan. The engineer Masahiro Hara felt the limitation of the one-dimension barcode in use and thus developed the QR codes which could carry data horizontally and vertically. QR codes could hold much more information than barcode due to their extra dimension. In addition, QR codes have larger data capacity, smaller print—out size and higher resistance to dirt and damage, which make them widely applied in many other applications.Though the technology of QR codes is complicated, we can easily create our own QR codes with the help of QR code generators, many of which are available online for free. Users could enter the data they wish the QR code to display, and the generator turns it into a symbol that can be printed or displayed in electronic form. The process of creating QR codes could be really fun when we customize the design of the codes according to our specific needs. For instance, we can adjust the color, add a logo, and create social options etc. Moreover, dynamic (动态的) QR codes are also available. They are more various than standard QR codes because they allow users to edit data entered previously whereas data in standard QR codes cannot be edited once printed. Plus, don’t limit your QR code to one mobile scanner. Anyone can scan your code with any reader. A lower barrier to entry makes success more likely for you and the user.Meanwhile, we must also recognize the vulnerability of QR codes. Due to its easy access, criminals can steal simply by replacing the QR codes with their own, routing cash into their own bank accounts. Hence, we should all become more conscious towards virtual money transactions through QR codes and participate in additional security measures.32.Which of the following is NOT a function of QR codes?A.Data storage.B.Scanning reader.C.Social networking. D.Mobile payment.33.Why is barcode mentioned in paragraph 2?A.To introduce the main topic.B.To show the author’s attitude.C.To highlight the features of QR codes.D.To add some background knowledge.34.Which of the following best explains “vulnerability” underlined in paragraph 4?A.Threat. B.Weakness.C.Difficulty. D.Simplicity.35.Which is true about QR codes according to the text?A.They were first used in China.B.The generators charge the users a lot.C.Data editing is possible in printed QR codes.D.More scanning devices are available in reading QR codes.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。

She became very close to her father.The naughty Lee loved reading, and would make up stories with Truman Capote, her neighbour who was two years older than her. Seeing his daughter’s imagination, Lee’s father gave her a typewriter.In high school, Lee developed an interest in English literature. After graduating in 1944, she went to the all-female Huntingdon College in Montgomery. Lee stood apart from the other students. She could have cared more about fashion, make-up, or dating. Instead, she focused on studies and writing. Transferring (转学) to the University of Alabama, Lee was known for being a loner and an individualist. Before her final year in the University of Alabama, Lee dropped out to become a writer. She moved to New York City where her childhood friend Truman was already a famous writer. While there, she worked on her first book —To Kill a Mockingbird. It won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was made into an Academy Award winning movie the following year.To Kill a Mockingbird tells the story of six-year- old Scout and her brother who live in the town of Maycomb, Alabama with their single father Atticus. Atticus is a lawyer who defends blacks. At a young age, Scout lives in the surroundings of the terrors of segregation (隔离政策).Then, in 2014, the first draft (草稿) of a new book — Go Set a Watchman was discovered among Lee’s papers. It is the story of 26-year-old Scout who returns to Maycomb to visit her father. She is shocked to find her father a changed man. He has turned into a segregationist!The story shows the mixed feelings Scout has about the changes that have taken place in her homeland and her father. A loner for most of her life, Lee stayed unmarried, preferring to lead a small town life. On February19,2016, Lee passed away at the age of 89.24.What can we learn about Lee?

C.She was persuaded to become a writer by Truman.D.She got interested in writing after getting a typewriter. 25.What did the characters Lee described in To Kill a Mockingbird show?A.Her love for a mockingbird. B.The effect of having a sick mother.C.Her experience of learning English literature.D.Her relationship with her father. 26.What happens to Scout’s father in Go Set a Watchman?A.He has mixed feelings towards the blacks.B.He straggles for the equal rights of the black people.C.He supports segregating blacks from whites.D.He fails to get used to the changes of his homeland. 27.What is the passage mainly about?A.How Lee fought against segregation.B.How Lee’s book made her world-famous.C.Lee’s whole life and her famous books.D.Lee lived a painful life all her life.CIt was late August when I got a call from a grandmother. She lives in Seeley Lake, Montana, and she has heard we have air purifiers (净化器) with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) air-cleaners that can help with smoke. She needs one for the baby’s room. I explained we didn’t have any and told her how to purchase one.She coughed and went silent with disappointment before asking how much they cost. Almost every person I talk to in Seeley Lake has this cough. “The family doesn’t have much money,” she said, butshe promised to order a filter for the child. Small filters—ones that can clean a bedroom of up to 75 square feet—cost about $70 each.The next day, the wildfire that had been burning for weeks in the Lolo National Forest, northeast of tow n, moved closer to the woman’s neighborhood, and the county sheriff’s office evacuated (疏散) the area. I wondered whether the air-cleaner would be there when the family returned home. I knew the smoke would be.As an air-quality specialist with the Missoula City-County Health Department in Montana, my job is to understand air pollution, control it as much as possible, and help people protect themselves from its effects. I focus on smoke management: issuing permits for outdoor burns and updating residents about what to expect from the smoke when wildfires send it our way.Never had we seen so many wildfires so close to home for so many weeks. There are six classes on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Quality Index (指数): good, moderate, unhealthy for sensitive groups, unhealthy, very unhealthy, and dangerous. Seeley Lake’s air reached dangerous class in 18 days last summer.Last year was troubled by wildfires around the country. The fires that struck Northern California alone killed 44 people and caused more than $9 billion in damage. But this isn’t just a recent problem, nor is it limited to the West. Wildfires hit 49 states in 2017, including a swath from Florida to Virginia. More than 9 million acres burned nationwide, compared with the yearly average of 6.5 million acres.28.Why did the grandmother make a call to the author?A.To prevent the wildfire. B.To help her make a move. C.To ask for an air purifier. D.To get information about air pollution.29.How did the woman feel about the author’s reply?A .Angry.B .Hopeful.C .Excited.D .Disappointed. 30.What’s the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 5? A .To add some background information.B .To summarize the previous paragraphs.C .To introduce a new topic for discussion.D .To make the readers realize the situation.31.Compared with the yearly average, the burned acres nationwide in 2017 rose by ________. A .about 49% B .about 38% C .about 72%D .about 52% DThe City of Christchurch, New Zealand was struck by a 7.1-magnitude earthquake on the earlymorningofSaturday,September 4, 2010.No tsunami alert was reported. The country's army troops were on standby to assist victims and disaster recovery operation. New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key,flew to the affected area to inspect and assess the situation of thedamaged city. The Prime Minister said that the full assessment of the damages would possibly take months to know the severity of damages.Basedfromhisassessment on what he saw in the area, it could cost at least 2 billion New Zealand dollars or US$1.4 billion for reconstruction.“An absolute miracle that no one died ,” Prime Minister John Key said. Two were seriously injured from this quake and thousands of local residents were awakened after being shaken at 4:35 a.m. of that Saturday.There were people trapped inside the damaged buildings but fortunately none were reported dead from the rubble of the damaged buildings.“We'reallfeelingscared —we've just had some significant aftershocks ,” a survivor told TV One News. “Tonight we're just people in the face of a massive natural disaster,trying to help each other and we're grateful we haven't lost a life.”GNS Science reported 29 aftershocks within the 14 hours after the quake, with strength from magnitude 3.7 to 5.4.New_Zealand_is_no_stranger _to_earthquakes.Thecountryexperiences more than 14,000 earthquakes a year —but only about 150 are felt by people.“Many buildings here were built with earthquake protection measures. However, in most cities in developing countries, people build how they want to and there're no building controls to force them to build to a higher standard that's safe ,” Andrew Charleson, an architecture professor at Victoria University of Wellington told CNN.32.How many people were killed in the New Zealand earthquake on September 4, 2010?

AHail ( 冰雹 ) is solid precipitate ( 沉淀物 ) that forms within thunderstorms. Hailstones are sometimes found containing sand, leaves, nuts and insects. There are even reports of hail containing small turtles, baby crocodiles and frogs! All of them have been sucked into the storm by tornadoes and subsequently enveloped in ice through repeated updraft currents ( 上升气流 ).Hailstones generally begin forming as seeds of small frozen raindrops or soft ice particles known as graupel ( 雪丸 ). If graupel falls through the cloud and gets into an updraft part of a thunderstorm, it mixes with water drops and ice particles that will freeze around it as it rises, like layers of an onion. Theseice-stones are carried into the tops of the cloud, gaining mass as they rise. Somewhere up there, they become too heavy for the updraft to carry and so fall towards the ground. As they fall, the outside layer melts to aclear layer.Larger hail can fall at a speed of over 100 mph, thus causing damage and injuries to almost anything. Pea to penny-sized hail can cause light damage to trees and vegetation and possibly cause minor injuries topeople and animals. Tennis ball to baseball- sized hail is obviously damaging. It can cause severe damageto crops and produce life- threatening injuries to people and animals.Deaths caused by hail are rare in the US with the last known fatality occurring in March 2000 in Lake Worth, Texas. A young man died from head injuries after being stuck by a softball-sized hailstone. Deaths and injuries are more common in other parts of the world where people live in poorly constructed buildings with little protection.If caught in a hailstorm while driving, attempt to stop immediately or pull into a nearby safe place; otherwise, the effect of the hail will be maximized. Try to drive and park the vehicle in the direction of thehail so that it is hitting the front of the vehicle. Windscreens are generally strengthened and can withstand larger impacts than side and back windows. This will lessen any damage from flying glass to both people and equipment in the vehicle.21.What makes some hail contain something unusual?A.Air currents.B.Strong storms.C.Thunderstorms and tornadoes.D.Tornadoes and updraft currents.22.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A.How hail comes into being.B.What graupel is made up of.C.What different layers of hail look like.D.How graupel mixes with water and ice.23.What's the purpose of the last paragraph?A.To urge people to stay away from hailstorms.B.To warn drivers of the potential dangers during hailstorms.C.To offer guidance to drivers on how to prevent hail damage.D.To advise people to purchase necessary protective equipment.BThe idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important partin keeping you healthy.Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it's for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive ( 认知的 ) falling.Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.24.What does the underlined word“ infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Playing an important role.B.Keeping people in high spirits.C.Quickly influencing other people.D.Preventing illness from spreading.25.What can laughter increase according to the author?A.Cognitive ability.B.Good relationships.C.A sense of humor.D.Happiness and trust.26.What does the author think the old should do?A.They should have a good rest.B.They should play like children.C.They should prevent cognitive falling.D.They should take part in physical play.27.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Humor, Laughter and Play for Health.B.Always Keep Our Body Healthy.C.Have an Active and Happy Life.D.Let Our Body and Mind Relax.CPlastic sludge(污泥 ) and garbage is a disaster for the world. A film’ crewsoceanstraveled the globe to document the rubbish. And Julie Andersen of the Plastic Oceans Foundation says what we see is just the tipof the problem. “ Half of the waste actually sinks to the bottom, and that that remains on the surface actually breaks down.”The filmmakers found rubbish in ocean gyres, the circulating currents that trap large concentrations of pollution in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacifc Oceans, home of what some have plastic. What we found was aplastic smog that spread throughout all the water. And in some parts of the oceans, scientists have foundmore plastic than plant. ”The pieces of the plastic garbage infect the food chain, sometimes visibly, and more so at the microscopic level, where the plastic particles interact with other pollutants. “ Thereare heavy metals, medicines, industrial waste in the sea, while it acts like magnets( 磁铁 ). These poisonous substances absorbon the plastic, and then when seafood absorbs the plastics, those poisonous substances enter the fatty tissues”. To be consumed by other sea life and by people at last.China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam are the worst plastic polluters. The UnitedStates, although a leader in recycling, is one of the world’ s 20 since it produces and consumes so muchplastic. There are efforts around the world to address the problem, including at this newly opened recyclingcenter in Lebanon( 黎巴嫩 ). But Andersen says there is more that people can do. “ Cut back on single-use plastics, straws, plastic cups, plastic water bottles, plastic bags and find alternatives like reusable materials. ”She says healthy oceans are essential to our survival.28. What can we learn from the passage?A. There’ s all island full of plastic rubbish in the Pacific.B. The bad effect of plastic pollution can’. t be seen by eyesC. The United States is the least plastic polluters.D. The plastic pollution to oceans is more serious than what we can see.29. What does the underlined word “ it refer” to in paragraph 3?A. Pollutants like heavy metals and medicines.B. The plastic particles.C. Seafood.D. Fatty tissues.30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. All Asian countries have the most serious problem of plastic pollution.B. The plastic problem hasn’ t attracted the world .’ s attention31.Which may be the title of the passage?A. Plastic pollution in the World.B. Plastic pollution — Oceans ’Disaster.C. Ways to solve the problem of plastic pollution to oceans.D. Plastic pollution and our health.DSomething ’ s happening at the lowest point on our planet, some 1,388 feet below sea level. The DeadSea, a salt lake close to Israel, Jordan and the West Bank, is shrinking at an alarming rate—about 3.3 feetper year, according to the environmentalist group EcoPeace Middle East.“It ’s not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea; it ’s more like the whole region,”said photographer Moritz K stner,ü who visited the area in February to work on his series “ The Dying Dead Sea ”.The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin.But around the 1960s, the courses of some water sources it relied upon were diverted. Israel, for instance,built a pipeline during that time so it could supply water throughout the country.Mineral extraction( 提取 ) industries are another main reason why the water levels are declining, expertssay. The Dead Sea’s minerals have been popular for their medical power and can often be found incosmetics(化妆品 ) and other consumer products.And then, of course, there ’ s the Middle East ’ s hot, dry climate, which makes it difficult for the lake to refill itself. Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $ 900 million deal in an effort to stabilize the Dead Sea ’swater levels. It involves building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea which would be able to not onlysupply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump much needed water—some 300 million cubic metersannually — into the Dead Sea.“ This is the most important and significant agreement since the peace treaty with Jordan (in 1994), Silvan Shalom, Israel ’s energy and water resources minister at the time. Whether the canal—estimated to take three years to complete — will work out positively and as planned remains to be seen.For now, K stnerü shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with peoplefrom all over the world going there to swim in its salty waters.32. How many reasons for the Dead Sea ’ s shrinking does the author mention in the passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.33. What does the underlined word “ diverted ” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Switch.B. Improve.C. Accomplish.D. Repair.34.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Dead Sea is drying out causing water shortage to humans.B. K ü stner visited the Dead Sea to shoot TV series about people’ s life.C. The Dead Sea’ s minerals have been used in some products.D. The Dead Sea’ s water levels have been stabilized by building a canal.35. What is the passage mainly about?A. How the Dead S ea’ s water levels’ decline influences human beings.B. How important the Dead Sea is in Israel,Jordan and the West Bank.C. What we should do to save the Dead Sea from being destroyed.D.

The idea of the record came after Gifford and her husband Frank went on a life-changing trip to the Holy Land in 2012.Gifford hoped to shine light on David's story to help a new generation find their own purpose; it's why she decided to compose this album that invites kids to hear the tale of the shepherd in a fun and educational way. Gifford based the record's opening track What is Your Stone on bravery and faith. She hopes the songs can help children find confidence in themselves.Though the album is aimed towards families and children, Gifford found recording the story of David to be an exercise in healing after the death of her beloved husband Frank who passed away two years ago.“I catch myself saying that I lost him sometimes,” Gifford says, “No, he hasn't been gone. The trip took root in my husband's life, because he truly came to understand exactly what David did.”Gifford says the trip and the teachings stayed with her husband until his death. For the next three years, when people came to visit us, they’d always see Frank's trophy (奖杯) room because it's like a museum, Gifford explained. “He would take them over. Instead of all of his trophies, he would point to the stones we brought back from the travelling destination and talk about them.”Gifford expects her own journey, her new album and her commitment to bringing a bit of joy to people through her show can help inspire children to discover their own faith and purpose.24. What was Gifford's main intention of making the album?A. To honor the meaningful trip.B. To show her love to her husband.C. To help children find faith and purpose.D. To make children understand David's story.25. How did the album benefit Gifford?A. It made her become a superstar.B. It made her win lots of trophies.C. It helped her plan to have a trip to the Holy Land.D. It helped her recover from the pain of losing Frank.26. What does the u nderlined word “them” in paragraph 6 refer to?A. The visitors.B. The stones.C. The trophies.D. The trips.27. What do we know from the text?A. David was the hero of many children.B. Gifford finished recording the album in 2012.C. Frank had won much glory when he was alive.D. The author liked Gifford's songs very much.CMirroring China's Past:Emperors and Their Bronzes (青铜制品)Chinese bronzes of the second and first millennia BC are some of the most distinctive achievements in the history of art. These vessels (容器) were made to carry sacrificial offerings, to use in burial or to honor noble families in public ceremonies. When they were found by emperors centuries later, these spiritually significant objects were seen as signs of heavenly messages about a ruler or a dynasty and became prized items in royal collections. This exhibition — the first to explore these ancient objects throughout Chinese history —presents a rare opportunity to experience a large number of these works together in the United States.Unlike Greek and Roman bronze sculptures of human and animal forms, most objects from the Chinese Bronze Age were vessels for ceremonial use. Beginning with the Song Dynasty (960-1279), emperors unearthed these symbolic works and began collecting them, considering them to be evidence of their own authority as rulers. In addition to impressive collections, the royal fascination with bronzes led to the creation of numerous reproductions and the comprehensive cataloguing of palace holdings. These catalogues are works of art themselves, featuring beautiful drawings and detailed descriptions of each object.From the 12th century onward, scholars and artists also engaged in collecting and understanding ancient bronzes. Unlike emperors, scholars regarded bronzes as material evidence of their efforts to recover and reconstruct the past, and they occasionally2exchanged them as tokens (象征) of friendship. Today ancient bronzes still occupy a primary position in Chinese culture — as historical objects and as signifiers of an important cultural heritage that inspires new generations, as seen in the works of contemporary artists on view in this presentation.Mirroring China's Past brings together approximately 180 works from the Art Institute of Chicago's strong holdings and from the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Shanghai Museum, and important museums and private collections in the United States. By providing viewers with a new understanding of ancient bronzes and their significance through time, the exhibition demonstrates China's fascinating history and its developing present.28.In what way are Chinese bronzes different from Greek and Roman ones?A.They fascinated the royal family.B.They took animal or human forms.C.They served ceremonial purposes.D.They were important cultural heritage.29.What does the author think of catalogues of bronzes?A.Unreal.B.Creative.C.Artistic.D.Necessary.30.What can we infer about the exhibition according to the text?A.It is held in China.B.It is arranged by time.C.It is organized by scholars.D.It includes modern artworks.31.What does the underlined word “holdings” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Viewers.B.Collections.C.Museums.D.Art dealers.DA parent might place his daughter’s drawing on the fridge out of a love for his child rather than for the wonderful image, but for many people, that children art is actually quite amazing. In fact, adult artists were often inspired by children’s drawing. For the museum-goers out there who tend to point to a piece of modern art and say, “My kid could have made that!” It’s worth remembering that often, that’s actually just what the artist had in mind.For many kids, drawing is exciting not because of the final product it leads to, but because they can live completely in the world of their drawing for a few minutes. Even children are scribbling(涂鸦), they’re representing through action, not through pictures. Liane Alves, a prekindergarten teacher, recalled a student who presented her with a drawing featuring a single straight line across the page. Alves assumed the child hadn’t given too much thought to the drawing until he explained that the line was one of the stems (茎) from The Princess and the Pea, one of the fairy tales they read in class.Maureen Ingram, who’s a preschool teacher at the same school,said her students often tell different stories about a given piece of art depending on the day, perhaps because they weren’t sure what they intended to draw when they started the picture. “We as adults will often say, ‘I’m going to draw a horse,’ and we set out... and get frustrated when we can’t do it,” Ingram said. “Children seem to take a different approach, where they just draw, and then they realize, ‘it is a horse.’”And what about those odd or scary-looking drawings? Does that mean kids are telling themselves stories that are odd or scary? It’s hard to say, but it’s rarely a good idea to over-interpret it. Ellen Winner, a psychology professor, pointed to parents who worry when their kid draws a child bigger than the adults. What’s most important to remember is that “children’s art has its own logic,” Winner said. “Children are not being crazy.”32. What may the author agree most probably according to the first paragraph?A. Children are more skilled and creative than adults in art.B. There might be similar patterns in artists’ and kids’ drawings.C. No one knows what the drawing experience means to children.D. Parents should become drawing teachers of their children.33. The author gives the example of Liane’s student to prove that .A. simple scribbles from children are meaningfulB. not all the children like drawing in the classroomC. children’s drawing is too complicated to understandD. teachers often find it hard to teach children drawing34. What is most important for children while they are drawing?A. The best image.B. Drawing process.C. A copy of real things.。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分:听力(共两节,满分30分)略第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)ADon’t ignore the difference teenagers can make.Jonny Thomas, 14, FloridaWhen Jonny Michael Thomas decided to honor his friend and classmate Elizabeth Buckley, who died from cancer, he remembered how much she loved peacocks(孔雀).He wanted to build a life-sized peacock fountain in Elizabeth’s favorite park in the city. He thought it could be a place for people to relax and be inspired.Jonny raised $52,000 to build the fountain.Barrett England, 13, UtahThe wheels began to turn for Barrett England when he heard about Karma Bike shop, a place where young people can earn a free bike by reading and performing community service.Barrett visited Karma’s owner with his idea: He would collect and repair used bikes and donate them t o the shop.He expected to get about 10 donated bikes. In the end, Barrett received 39.Zachary Blohm, 15, WisconsinThe 25-year-old playground at an elementary school near Milwaukee, Wis., was so small that only 70 of its 575 students could play on it at a time.That’s when Zachary Blohm saved the day. He and some volunteers build a huge playground. To raise money, Zac planned T-shirt and bake sales (烤饼义卖), sold tickets and more. He held monthly money-raising events for more than a year. Overall, he collected $130,000--- enough to finish his project.Jack Zimmerman, 16, New JerseyFor some people, finding a meal is as simple as opening the refrigerator. For more than 366,000 hungry kids in New Jersey, it’s not that easy.That fact didn’t sit well with Jack Zimmerman, who organized a drive to reduce childhood hunger in his state. His goal: create 40,000 packaged meals that could be donated to those in need.On game day, Jack and his volunteers started their work. After the final count, the team had packaged 47,124 meals--- well above Jack’s goal.21. The peacock fountain was built in a park ________.A. in memory of a teenagerB. for the love of animalsC. to encourage peopleD. to cure a cancer sufferer22. What did Barrett do for Karma Bike shop?A. He helped it win customers.B. He repaired bikes there.C. He donated bikes to it.D. He offered a reading service there.23. Who improved a place for children to play?A. Jack.B. Jonny.C. Barrett.D. Zachary.24. What do the four people have in common?A. They’re top students.B. They care about others.C. They like various public activities.D. They’re money raisers for the poor.BMy dad was in the Air Force. When I was a kid, we moved every few years. That meant a lot of good-byes. It also meant getting used to a whole new community and a whole new school each time we moved. I can still feel what it was like to have to walk into the new school---that sinking feeling in my belly, that heaviness in my throat. It would always take time for me to learn how everything worked, what was cooland what not. It was always a struggle to find where I could fit in.Already shy, I didn’t have muc h self-confidence in my friend-making abilities. I was the girl walking in the halls with her head down, panicking. When I spoke, you could hardly hear my soft voice. I was nervous and doubted myself a lot.It was very hard not having a history with everyone else. I was an outsider. But what I did have was soccer. Wherever I went, I knew that I could fit it with the soccer ball. The soccer team meant a familiar place and immediate friends for me. I could express myself and feel good about myself on the field. Playing hard helped to get rid of all my nervousness.Throughout our lives, our self-respect goes down when we feel like a failure, and it goes up when we feel successful. Doing something well, being praised, and feeling loved goes a long way. We all need to explore opportunities where we can be good at something and feel good about ourselves. Physical activity and sport participation is a terrific way to build up our sense of self-confidence and self-worth.25. How did the author feel about moving to a new school?A. Delighted.B. Stressed.C. Thrilled.D. Uninterested.26. How did soccer help the author fit in?A. It made her physically strong.B. It improved her school performance.C. It helped build her self-confidence.D. It enabled her to know herself better.27. According to the author, one’s self-confidence grows when one ___________.A. gets challengedB. has a history with othersC. participates in sportsD. feels appreciatedCParents may think they’re smart about where they store m edicines, but their kids are smarter. Nearly 60,000 young children are rushed to the hospital every year after getting into medicines not meant for them,according to a new report from Safe Kids Worldwide.The report finds little connection between what parents know about storing medicines safely and what they actually do. Nine out of 10 parents know that medicines should be stored up and away out of reach and sight, but 7 out of 10 of them admit not doing that. They leave medicines out on kitchen counters, sinks and sofas, believing babies and toddlers(学步的儿童)aren’t tall enough or strong enough to reach them. Unfortunately, they probably can. Children as young as a month have ended up in an emergency department because they’d been poisoned by getting into a medicine that was left within reach.Most poisonings related to medicines---particularly among babies and toddlers---occur within their home. Kids develop rapidly and they want to explore their environment. At certain ages they have a lot of hand-to-mouth activity, and so it’s very common for them to explore their environment and then try to taste what they find.The new Safe Kids worldwide report includes a survey of 2,000 parents with children under age 6. While the number of children visiting an emergency department for accidental poisonings had declined since the 2010 maximum, the decline has slowed in recent years.Prescription and over-the-counter medicines cause the most severe poisonings, but vitamins and supplements(补充品)can also cause problems. There are steps families can take to lower the risk for an accidental medicine poisoning.28. Why are children poisoned according to the text?A. Some of the medicines at home taste nice.B. There is something poisonous in medicines.C. Kids have easy access to medicines at home.D. Kids are curious to explore the environment.29. What can we learn from the text?A. Vitamins and supplements can do good to kids.B. The team made a survey of 2,000 kids under age 6.C. 600 parents surveyed could keep medicines properly.D. Kids are usually smart at storing medicines at home.30. What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A. Factors contributing to the mistakes parents have made.B. Tips that parents can follow to avoid a medicine poisoning.C. Examples related to vitamin and supplement poisonings.D. Impressive recovery results in helping patients.31. What could be the best title for the text?A. Parents’ Casual Behavior Leads to Kids PoisonedB. The Number of Kids Poisoned Has Declined LatelyC. Nearly 60,000 Children Are Poisoned by MedicinesD. Kids Are Facing the Risk of Being Poisoned at HomeDResearch shows that isolation(隔绝,孤立)is bad for us and associated with certain diseases including depression, high blood pressure and heart disease. Yet teenagers seek isolation by using the device of our times---a screen, screens of all kinds. However, in whatever form, screens are addictive, and addictive from an early age. Research has shown that given the chance, six-month-old babies prefer screens to real human faces.Hand in hand with this addiction to screens, we are seeing an explosion of teenage mental health problems. Social media claims to be inclusive, keeping you connected. But it’s not. It isolates you from real people. Screens have even been described as being poisonous for teenagers.Psychologist Jean Twenge, a professor at San Diego State University, believes today’s teenagers are “on the edge” of a major mental health crisis and requestes, “do anything that doesn’t involve a screen”. The problem is, she claims, children born between 1995 and 2012 have grown up with a smart phone in their hands, and it has “changed every aspect” of their lives. The number of teenagers who actually see their friends frequently has dropped by more than 40% since 2000. In 2015, only 56% of 17-year-old went on a date, down from 85%. Modern teenagers are slower to learn to drive, or earn money and spend more time at home. They’re “on their phone, in their room, alone and often depressed”, she says.Some critics, however, say we should encourage our children to spend more time online. Robert Hannigan, former director of GCHQ, said in August that Britain is badly short of engineers and computer scientists, and urged children to develop cyber skill to compete in the digital economy.I’ m not the first to say that social media is inferior to real human contact, and harms mental health. Studies show teens who spend three hours a day online are 35% more likely to suicide(自杀).The suicide rate among girls aged 12 to 14 has more than doubled in a decade.32. Why does Jean Twenge call on teens to surf online less?A. Social media is inclusive and keeps them connected.B. Social media has changed every aspect of their lives.C. Social media does great harm to their eyesight.D. Social media is addictive and leads to mental problems.33. Robert Hannigan may agree that we should ____________.A. allow teens to isolate themselves from real social contactB. call on teens to do anything that doesn’t involve a screenC. urge children to contact people face to face instead of onlineD. encourage children to spend more time on the Internet34. What does the underlined phrase “inferior to” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Worse than.B. As effective as.C. More useful than.D. Similar to.35. What may be the best title for the text?A. Teenagers seeking isolation using screensB. Social media causing teenagers mental health crisisC. Teenagers’ heavy addiction to social mediaD.

She became very close to her father.The naughty Lee loved reading, and would make up stories with Truman Capote, her neighbour who was two years older than her. Seeing his daughter’s imagination, Lee’s father gave her a typewriter.In high school, Lee developed an interest in English literature. After graduating in 1944, she went to the all-female Huntingdon College in Montgomery. Lee stood apart from the other students. She could have cared more about fashion, make-up, or dating. Instead, she focused on studies and writing. Transferring (转学) to the University of Alabama, Lee was known for being a loner and an individualist. Before her final year in the University of Alabama, Lee dropped out to become a writer. She moved to New York City where her childhood friend Truman was already a famous writer. While there, she worked on her first book — To Kill a Mockingbird. It won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was made into an Academy Award winning movie the following year.To Kill a Mockingbird tells the story of six-year- old Scout and her brother who live in the town of Maycomb, Alabama with their single father Atticus. Atticus is a lawyer who defends blacks. At a young age, Scout lives in the surroundings of the terrors of segregation (隔离政策).Then, in 2014, the first draft (草稿) of a new book —Go Set a Watchman was discovered among Lee’s papers. It is the story of 26-year-old Scout who returns to Maycomb to visit her father. She is shocked to find her father a changed man. He has turned into a segregationist!The story shows the mixed feelings Scout has about the changes that have taken place in her homeland and her father. A loner for most of her life, Lee stayed unmarried, preferring to lead a small town life. On February 19,2016, Lee passed away at the age of 89.24.What can we learn about Lee?A.She became a professional writer at college.B.She had a gift for writing.C.She was persuaded to become a writer by Truman.D.She got interested in writing after getting a typewriter.25.What did the characters Lee described in To Kill a Mockingbird show?A.Her love for a mockingbird.B.The effect of having a sick mother.C.Her experience of learning English literature.D.Her relationship with her father. 26.What happens to Scout’s father in Go Set a Watchman?A.He has mixed feelings towards the blacks.B.He straggles for the equal rights of the black people.C.He supports segregating blacks from whites.D.He fails to get used to the changes of his homeland.27.What is the passage mainly about?A.How Lee fought against segregation.B.How Lee’s book made her world-famous.C.Lee’s whole life and her famous books.D.Lee lived a painful life all her life.CIt was late August when I got a call from a grandmother. She lives in Seeley Lake, Montana, and she has heard we have air purifiers (净化器) with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) air-cleaners that can help with smoke. She needs one for the baby’s room. I explained we didn’t have any and told her how to purchase one.She coughed and went silent with disappointment before asking how much they cost. Almost every person I talk to in Seeley Lake has this cough. “The family doesn’t have much money,” she said, but she promised to order a filter for the child. Small filters—ones that can clean a bedroom of up to 75 square feet—cost about $70 each.The next day, the wildfire that had been burning for weeks in the Lolo National Forest, northeast of town, moved closer to the woman’s neighborhood, and the county sheriff’s office evacuated (疏散) the area. I wondered whether the air-cleaner would be there when the family returned home. I knew the smoke would be.As an air-quality specialist with the Missoula City-County Health Department in Montana, my job is to understand air pollution, control it as much as possible, and help people protect themselves from its effects. I focus on smoke management: issuing permits for outdoor burns and updating residents about what to expect from the smoke when wildfires send it our way.Never had we seen so many wildfires so close to home for so many weeks. There are six classes on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Quality Index (指数): good, moderate, unhealthy for sensitive groups, unhealthy, very unhealthy, and dangerous. Seeley Lake’s air reached dangerous class in 18 days last summer.Last year was troubled by wildfires around the country. The fires that struck Northern California alone killed 44 people and cau sed more than $9 billion in damage. But this isn’t just a recent problem, nor is it limited to the West. Wildfires hit 49 states in 2017, including a swath from Florida to Virginia. More than 9 million acres burned nationwide, compared with the yearly average of 6.5 million acres.28.Why did the grandmother make a call to the author?A.To prevent the wildfire.B.To help her make a move.C.To ask for an air purifier.D.To get information about air pollution.29.How did the woman feel about the author’s reply?A.Angry. B.Hopeful.C.Excited. D.Disappointed.30.What’s the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 5?A.To add some background information.B.To summarize the previous paragraphs.C.To introduce a new topic for discussion.D.To make the readers realize the situation.31.Compared with the yearly average, the burned acres nationwide in 2017 rose by ________.A.about 49% B.about 38%C.about 72% D.about 52%DThe City of Christchurch, New Zealand was struck by a 7.1-magnitude earthquake on the early morning of Saturday, September 4, 2010.No tsunami alert was reported. The country's army troops were on standby to assist victims and disaster recovery operation. New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key, flew to the affected area to inspect and assess the situation of the damaged city. The Prime Minister said that the full assessment of the damages would possibly take months to know the severity of damages. Based from his assessment on what he saw in the area, it could cost at least 2 billion New Zealand dollars or US$1.4 billion for reconstruction.“An absolute miracle that no one died,” Prime Minister John Key said.

AIt's known to all that rainforests are important. But do you know why?Tropical rainforests took between 60 and 100 million years to evolve (进化) and are belie ved to be the oldest and most complex landbased ecosystem on earth, containing over 30 million species of plants and animals. That's half of the Earth's wild animal species and at least twothirds of its plant species!Rainforests store water. In fact, it is believed that the Amazonian forests alone store over half of the Earth's rainwater! Rainforest trees draw water from the forest floor and release it back into the atmosphere. Without rainforests continually recycling huge quantities of water, feeding the rivers, lakes and irrigation systems, droughts would become more common.Do you know that we also depend on trees to cleanse (净化) our atmosphere? They absorbthe carbon dioxide that we breathe out, and provide the oxygen we need. However, whenrainforest trees are burnt, they release carbon dioxide, which pollutes the atmosphere and contributes to global warming.Surprisingly, soil in the rainforest is very poor in nutrients. This is because the nutrients are stored in the huge numbers of trees and plants rather than in the soil. Tree roots bind the soil together, while the canopy (树荫) protects the soil from heavy rain. When a tree dies and its trunk falls to the forest floor, it breaks down and the nutrients it contains are recycled. However, if trees are removed from the forest, the nutrients are removed with it. What's worse, the unprotected soil is then simply washed away by heavy rain, causing floods in lowland rivers while leaving upland rivers dry.Many local people have been living in harmony with the rainforest for thousands of years, depending on it for their food, shelter and medicines. When oil and logging companies come to remove vast areas of forest, they bring diseases which people there have no resistance to and threaten their survival. Often they are also forced to move away from their homes to unfamiliar places, sometimes even being killed in the process.21.What can we learn about rainforests from Paragraph 2? A.They are impossible to recover once damaged. B.They are too old and complex to evolve themselves. C.They have fewer wild animal species than plant species. D.They're important homes to wild animal and plant species. 22.Why does the author mention the poor soil in the rainforest? A.To stress the importance of trees to soil. B.To encourage improvement of soil there. C.To explain a very interesting phenomenon. D.To raise people's awareness of protecting soil. 23.What can we learn from the passage?A.We can burn rainforests to make the land richer.B.We should do our best to prevent global warming.C.We should protect rainforests instead of destroying them.D.We can depend on many things to cleanse our atmosphere.BA new study has identified pollution as the world's No.1 killer. Study organizers say pollution is responsible for more premature deaths than war, terrorism, natural disasters,此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号smoking and disease. By saying premature death, the researchers mean dying before the average age of death within a population group. Many of these deaths can be prevented.A report on the study was published in the medical journal The Lancet. The researchers looked at pollution levels, both inside enclosed (封闭的) buildings and in the world around us. They concluded that pollution killed about 9 million people in 2015. That would represent one of every six deaths worldwide.Karti Sandilya helped to prepare the report. He said, “Pollution damages fundamental human rights, such as the right to life, health, wellbeing, safe work as well as the protection of children and the most vulnerable (易受伤害的).”The report said the large majority of pollutionre lated deaths take place in developing countries. The researchers say leaders in those countries are more concerned about building their economics and public services than environmental controls. Some of the most affected countries are Bangladesh, China, Haiti, India, Pakistan, North Korea and South Sudan.But Richard Fuller, another writer of the report, said pollution is tied to slow economic development in both rich and poor nations. He said, “Finance ministers still hold firmly that you have to let industry pollution or else you won't develop. What people don't realize is that people who are sick or dead cannot contribute to the economy. They need to be looked after.”The report said that 9 million premature deaths a year is only a conservative figure. It said the actual number is likely to be much higher.A separate study by the World Bank said reducing pollution must be a top goal. It said that settling this problem would lead to approaches to other dangers, including poor nutrition (营养) and rising temperatures on the Earth's surface.24.Which is mainly to blame for pollution according to the report?A.Poor countries.B.Rich countries.mon people.D.The government.25.What does the first research find?A.Pollution is serious in both rich and poor countries.B.Premature deaths cannot be prevented worldwide.C.Pollution has something to do with slow development.D.Pollution has caused more premature deaths than expected.26.Why is “A separate study” me ntioned in the last paragraph?A.To provide more information about pollution.B.To make the findings of the first study more convincing.C.To offer more specific approaches to deal with pollution.D.To emphasize the relationship between pollution and global warming.27.Which of the following can be best used as the title of the passage?A.Pollution Is the World's Number One Killer.B.Pollution Is Becoming Increasingly Serious.C.What Makes Pollution Increasingly Serious.D.How People Deal with Pollution Worldwide.CScientists are trying to save Puerto Rico’s endangered Amazon parrots after Hurricane Maria destroyed the birds’ habitats and food sources(来源).El Yunque is a large national forest on the eastern part of Puerto Rico. Just two of the 56 wild parrots that once lived there survived Maria, the Category-4 storm that struck Puerto Rico in September 2017. Scientists report other forests have seen great drops in parrot populations as well.In the 1800s, there were more than a million of the bright green parrots living in the wild in Puerto Rico. By the 1970s, the number was down to just 13 birds after years of forest clearing.A special program was started in 1972 to help increase the parrot population, which led to the creation of three breeding(繁殖) centers. Just weeks before Hurricane Maria hit, scientists counted 56 wild parrots at El Yunque. That was the highest number in the program's history. Scientists say that even though several parrots have been born in captivity(笼养) and in the wild since Maria, the species is still in danger.The Puerto Rican Amazon is the island’s only remaining native parrot. More than 460 of the birds are kept inside the breeding centers at El Yunque and the Rio Abajo forest. Scientists have not released(释放) any of the birds since Hurricane Maria. A third breeding center, in a forest in the western area of Maricao, has not been in operation since the storm.Scientists are considering whether to catch some of the remaining wild parrots and put them in the same cage as the birds that are set to be released. This way, the captive birdscan learn from the wild birds how to survive in the forests. Another consideration is to release some captive parrots in Maricao, which was not as heavily damaged by Maria.28. Why has the parrot population greatly decreased in the past 200 years?A. Because of Hurricane Maria.B. Because of too much hunting.C. Because of the loss of forests.D. Because of lack of breeding centers.29. Which of the following is true about Hurricane Maria?A. It killed 56 wild parrots at El Yunque.B. It greatly affected parrots in captivity.C. It reduced the number of wild parrots.D. It led to the creation of three breeding centers.30. What can we infer about Amazon parrots in captivity?A. They have the highest number in the history.B. They have been released since Hurricane Maria.C. They are used to living in the wild.D. They are larger in number than those in the wild.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Scientists Work to Save Puerto Rican Parrots.B. Amazon Parrots are in Danger of Disappearing.C. A Special Program Helps Increase the Parrot Population.D. Hurricane Maria Reduced the Number of Amazon Parrots.DAntaretica’s ice-white environment is going green and facing other unexpected threats. Scientists say that as temperatures go up in the polar region, invading (入侵) plants and insects, including the flies, cause a major conservation threat.More and more of these invaders, in the form of larvae (幼虫) or seeds, are surviving in coastal areas around the South Pole, where the temperature has risen by more than 3℃over the past three decades. Glaciers have retreated, exposing more land which has been occupied by mosses that have been found to be growing more quickly and thickly than ever before — providing potential green homes for invaders.“The common house flies are a perfect example of the problem the Antarctic now faces from invading species,” said Dominic Hodgson of the British Antarctic Survey. “It comes in on ships, where it exists in kitchens and then at bases on the continent. It now has an increasing chance of surviving in the Antarctic as it warms up, and that is a worry. Insects like the house flies carry bacteria that could have a deadly effect on native lifeforms.”The Antarctic has several native species of insects. Together with its native mosses, these are now coming under increased threat from three major sources: visiting scientists, increasing numbers of tourists and global warming. However, it is global warming that is the main driver of the greening of Antarctica.In 2015, more than 38,000 tourists visited Antarctica. “These tourists are often very careful about not leaving waste or having mud. But they could carry seeds or larvae on their boots when they set foot on the Antarctic,” said Hodgson.More and more invasive insects and plants have been found on the Antarctic and have required removal. “the insects and plants that are native to Antarctica have survived these for thousands of years,” said Hodgson. “We have got to act now if we want to save the environment.”32. What does the underlined world “mosses” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. A kind of plants.B. House flies.C. Coastal areas.D. A kind of animals.33. What is the main cause of the Antarctic going green?A. Scientists’ coming.B. Global warming.C. A growing number of visitors.D. The rapid spread of native planting.34. What do we know about the house flies in the Antarctic?A. They are native to the Antarctic.B. They will disappear due to the cold climate.C. They seriously affected the Antarctic native species.D. They directly fly to the Antarctic from nearby islands.35. What’s the best title for the text?A. The Antarctic Is Faced with Various Threats.B. The Antarctic Is Becoming Green and Energetic.C. More and More Scientists Get to Explore the Antarctic.D. Global Warming has Caused the Temperature in the Antarctic to Rise up.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。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分:听力(共两节,满分30分)略第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)AEarly people lived by hunting animals and gathering grains. After a tribe(部落)had lived in an area for some time, its food supply would begin to reduce. Then the tribe had to move to new hunting grounds where there was more food.This way of life caused special problems for the tribes. They were forced to depend on luck, as well as on their hunting skills. If they could find no game, the whole tribe was in danger of starving. And when the hunters had good luck one day, they were not sure to find game the next time. The tribes moves often because much land was needed to support their people.Finally, people learned that they could grow their food. At first, the women of tribes raised patches of wild grain. Later, people discovered that they could plant their own seeds. Farming slowly became a way of life.As people turned away from hunting to farming, their life changed. When the food supply became more constant, they no longer moved from place to place. The success of their crops depended partly on the weather, but there were also things they could do to help crops grow.In the past, a tribe had to travel many miles for food. Now , only a small amount of land was necessary tofeed the whole tribe. The tribe could grow in size because farming provided a way to feed people.21. From the passage we can inferA. life was hard and unsteady for early tribes.B. hunting was interesting in early days.C. the change from hunting to farming happened very quickly.D. early tribes liked moving from place to place.22. The main idea of the passage is _ .A. how the ancient people grow crops.B. why early people had to travel oftenC. how farming became a way of life.D. how the ancient people hunt23. Why did the early tribes move so often?A. They enjoyed traveling around.B. They liked to go hunting everywhere.C. Because of the bad weather they did not like to stay in one place.D. They had to find enough food.BEight days for just ¥12,000Departs: 12, Dec. 2017Includes:·Return flights from 6 China’s airports to Naples·Return airport to hotel transport·Seven nights’ accommodation at the 3 star Hotel Nice·Breakfast·The service of guides·Government taxesJoin us for a wonderful holiday in one of the Europe’s most wonderful comers—Naples in Italy if youwant to have a nice time in a beautiful small quiet place.

Last month, a driverless bus began carrying passengers through Lyon, France. Most in theautomobile industry think self-driving vehicles will be on the road by 2020 or before.Driverless cars will at first be huddled with human-driven cars. But the first places where they will become dominant(统治的)are dense urban areas-precisely the spots most damaged by the automobile age. Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven cargo. Driverless cars will quicken that process and will bring us enormous benefits.Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90 percent. That’s big—the annual death toll on the world’s roads is about 1.2 million a year. Pollution and carbon emissions will drop, because urban driverless cars will be electric. The old, otherwise they would stay at home most of the time and the disabled and teenagers will suddenly gain mobility.On the other hand, driverless cars will bring catastrophe(灾难). The best thing about the automobile age was that it employed tens of millions of people to make, market, insure and drive vehicles. Over the next 20 years, the mostly low-skilled men who now drive trucks, taxis and buses will see their jobs reduced. Carmakers are especially scared. The few cars of the future might be made by tech companies such as Apple, Baidu and Google. Imaging the impact on Germany, where the automotive sector is the largest industry.Dramatic change is coming, and driverless cars could arrive by 2020.But governments have barely begun thinking about it. Only 6 percent of the biggest US cities have factored them into their long-term planning.A decade ago anyone hardly saw the smartphone coming. It has brought an epidemic of mass addiction. Let’s hope we do a better job of handling the driverless car.28.

Yet teenagers seek isolation by using the device of our times---a screen, screens of all kinds. However, in whatever form, screens are addictive, and addictive from an early age. Research has shown that given the chance, six-month-old babies prefer screens to real human faces.Hand in hand with this addiction to screens, we are seeing an explosion of teenage mental health problems. Social media claims to be inclusive, keeping you connected. But it’s not. It isolates you from real people. Screens have ever been described as being poisonous for teenagers.Psychologist Jean Twenge, a professor at San Diego State University, believes today’s teenagers are “on the edge” of a major mental health crisis and requestes, “do anything that doesn’t involve a screen”. The problem is, she claims, children born between 1995 and 2012 have grown up with a smart phone in their hands, and it has “changed every aspect” of their lives. The number of teenagers who actually see their friends frequently has dropped by more than 40% since 2000. In 2015, only 56% of 17-year-old went on a date, down from 85%. Modern teenagers are slower to learn to drive, or earn money and spend more time at home. They’re “on their phone, in their room, alone and often depressed”, she says.Some critics, however, say we should encourage our children to spend more time online. Robert Hannigan, former director of GCHQ, said in August that Britain is badly short of engineers and computer scientists, and urged children to develop cyber skill to compete in the digital economy.I’ m not the first to say that social media is inferior to real human contact, and harms mental health. Studies show teens who spend three hours a day online are 35% more likely to suicide(自杀).The suicide rate among girls aged 12 to 14 has more than doubled in a decade.32.

第Ⅰ卷第一部分:听力(共两节,满分30分)略第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)ADon’t ignore the difference teenagers can make.Jonny Thomas, 14, FloridaWhen Jonny Michael Thomas decided to honor his friend and classmate Elizabeth Buckley, who died from cancer, he remembered how much she loved peacocks(孔雀).He wanted to build a life-sized peacock fountain in Elizabeth’s favorite park in the city. He thought it could be a place for people to relax and be inspired.Jonny raised $52,000 to build the fountain.Barrett England, 13, UtahThe wheels began to turn for Barrett England when he heard about Karma Bike shop, a place where young people can earn a free bike by reading and performing community service.Barrett visited Karma’s owner with his idea: He would collect and repair used bikes and donate them t o the shop.He expected to get about 10 donated bikes. In the end, Barrett received 39.Zachary Blohm, 15, WisconsinThe 25-year-old playground at an elementary school near Milwaukee, Wis., was so small that only 70 of its 575 students could play on it at a time.That’s when Zachary Blohm saved the day. He and some volunteers build a huge playground. To raise money, Zac planned T-shirt and bake sales (烤饼义卖), sold tickets and more. He held monthly money-raising events for more than a year. Overall, he collected $130,000--- enough to finish his project.Jack Zimmerman, 16, New JerseyFor some people, finding a meal is as simple as opening the refrigerator. For more than 366,000 hungry kids in New Jersey, it’s not that easy.That fact didn’t sit well with Jack Zimmerman, who organized a drive to reduce childhood hunger in his state. His goal: create 40,000 packaged meals that could be donated to those in need.On game day, Jack and his volunteers started their work. After the final count, the team had packaged 47,124 meals--- well above Jack’s goal.21. The peacock fountain was built in a park ________.A. in memory of a teenagerB. for the love of animalsC. to encourage peopleD. to cure a cancer sufferer22. What did Barrett do for Karma Bike shop?A. He helped it win customers.B. He repaired bikes there.C. He donated bikes to it.D. He offered a reading service there.23. Who improved a place for children to play?A. Jack.B. Jonny.C. Barrett.D. Zachary.24. What do the four people have in common?A. They’re top students.B. They care about others.C. They like various public activities.D. They’re money raisers for the poor.BMy dad was in the Air Force. When I was a kid, we moved every few years. That meant a lot of good-byes. It also meant getting used to a whole new community and a whole new school each time we moved. I can still feel what it was like to have to walk into the new school---that sinking feeling in my belly, that heaviness in my throat. It would always take time for me to learn how everything worked, what was cooland what not. It was always a struggle to find where I could fit in.Already shy, I didn’t have muc h self-confidence in my friend-making abilities. I was the girl walking in the halls with her head down, panicking. When I spoke, you could hardly hear my soft voice. I was nervous and doubted myself a lot.It was very hard not having a history with everyone else. I was an outsider. But what I did have was soccer. Wherever I went, I knew that I could fit it with the soccer ball. The soccer team meant a familiar place and immediate friends for me. I could express myself and feel good about myself on the field. Playing hard helped to get rid of all my nervousness.Throughout our lives, our self-respect goes down when we feel like a failure, and it goes up when we feel successful. Doing something well, being praised, and feeling loved goes a long way. We all need to explore opportunities where we can be good at something and feel good about ourselves. Physical activity and sport participation is a terrific way to build up our sense of self-confidence and self-worth.25. How did the author feel about moving to a new school?A. Delighted.B. Stressed.C. Thrilled.D. Uninterested.26. How did soccer help the author fit in?A. It made her physically strong.B. It improved her school performance.C. It helped build her self-confidence.D. It enabled her to know herself better.27. According to the author, one’s self-confidence grows when one ___________.A. gets challengedB. has a history with othersC. participates in sportsD. feels appreciatedCParents may think they’re smart about where they store m edicines, but their kids are smarter. Nearly 60,000 young children are rushed to the hospital every year after getting into medicines not meant for them,according to a new report from Safe Kids Worldwide.The report finds little connection between what parents know about storing medicines safely and what they actually do. Nine out of 10 parents know that medicines should be stored up and away out of reach and sight, but 7 out of 10 of them admit not doing that. They leave medicines out on kitchen counters, sinks and sofas, believing babies and toddlers(学步的儿童)aren’t tall enough or strong enough to reach them. Unfortunately, they probably can. Children as young as a month have ended up in an emergency department because they’d been poisoned by getting into a medicine that was left within reach.Most poisonings related to medicines---particularly among babies and toddlers---occur within their home. Kids develop rapidly and they want to explore their environment. At certain ages they have a lot of hand-to-mouth activity, and so it’s very common for them to explore their environment and then try to taste what they find.The new Safe Kids worldwide report includes a survey of 2,000 parents with children under age 6. While the number of children visiting an emergency department for accidental poisonings had declined since the 2010 maximum, the decline has slowed in recent years.Prescription and over-the-counter medicines cause the most severe poisonings, but vitamins and supplements(补充品)can also cause problems. There are steps families can take to lower the risk for an accidental medicine poisoning.28. Why are children poisoned according to the text?A. Some of the medicines at home taste nice.B. There is something poisonous in medicines.C. Kids have easy access to medicines at home.D. Kids are curious to explore the environment.29. What can we learn from the text?A. Vitamins and supplements can do good to kids.B. The team made a survey of 2,000 kids under age 6.C. 600 parents surveyed could keep medicines properly.D. Kids are usually smart at storing medicines at home.30. What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A. Factors contributing to the mistakes parents have made.B. Tips that parents can follow to avoid a medicine poisoning.C. Examples related to vitamin and supplement poisonings.D. Impressive recovery results in helping patients.31. What could be the best title for the text?A. Parents’ Casual Behavior Leads to Kids PoisonedB. The Number of Kids Poisoned Has Declined LatelyC. Nearly 60,000 Children Are Poisoned by MedicinesD.

AHail (冰雹) is solid precipitate (沉淀物) that forms within thunderstorms. Hailstones are sometimes found containing sand, leaves, nuts and insects. There are even reports of hail containing small turtles, baby crocodiles and frogs! All of them have been sucked into the storm by tornadoes and subsequently enveloped in ice through repeated updraft currents (上升气流).Hailstones generally begin forming as seeds of small frozen raindrops or soft ice particles known as graupel (雪丸). If graupel falls through the cloud and gets into an updraft part of a thunderstorm, it mixes with water drops and ice particles that will freeze around it as it rises, like layers of an onion. These ice-stones are carried into the tops of the cloud, gaining mass as they rise. Somewhere up there, they become too heavy for the updraft to carry and so fall towards the ground. As they fall, the outside layer melts to aclear layer.Larger hail can fall at a speed of over 100 mph, thus causing damage and injuries to almost anything. Pea to penny-sized hail can cause light damage to trees and vegetation and possibly cause minor injuries to people and animals. Tennis ball to baseball-sized hail is obviously damaging. It can cause severe damage to crops and produce life-threatening injuries to people and animals.Deaths caused by hail are rare in the US with the last known fatality occurring in March 2000 in Lake Worth, Texas. A young man died from head injuries after being stuck by a softball-sized hailstone. Deaths and injuries are more common in other parts of the world where people live in poorly constructed buildings with little protection.If caught in a hailstorm while driving, attempt to stop immediately or pull into a nearby safe place; otherwise, the effect of the hail will be maximized. Try to drive and park the vehicle in the direction of the hail so that it is hitting the front of the vehicle. Windscreens are generally strengthened and can withstand larger impacts than side and back windows. This will lessen any damage from flying glass to both people and equipment in the vehicle.21.What makes some hail contain something unusual?A.Air currents.B.Strong storms.C.Thunderstorms and tornadoes.D.Tornadoes and updraft currents.22.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A.How hail comes into being.B.What graupel is made up of.C.What different layers of hail look like.D.How graupel mixes with water and ice.23.What's the purpose of the last paragraph?A.To urge people to stay away from hailstorms.B.To warn drivers of the potential dangers during hailstorms.C.To offer guidance to drivers on how to prevent hail damage.D.To advise people to purchase necessary protective equipment.BThe idea that you can use humor, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it's for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive (认知的) falling.Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.24.What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Playing an important role.B.Keeping people in high spirits.C.Quickly influencing other people.D.Preventing illness from spreading.25.What can laughter increase according to the author?A.Cognitive ability.B.Good relationships.C.A sense of humor.D.Happiness and trust.26.What does the author think the old should do?A.They should have a good rest.B.They should play like children.C.They should prevent cognitive falling.D.They should take part in physical play.27.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Humor, Laughter and Play for Health.B.Always Keep Our Body Healthy.C.Have an Active and Happy Life.D.Let Our Body and Mind Relax.CPlastic sludge(污泥) and garbage is a disaster for the world’s oceans. A film crew traveled the globe to document the rubbish. And Julie Andersen of the Plastic Oceans Foundation says what we see is just the tip of the problem. “Half of the waste actually sinks to the bottom, and that that remains on the surface actually breaks down.”The filmmakers found rubbish in ocean gyres, the circulating currents that trap large concentrations of pollution in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacifc Oceans, home of what some have plastic. What we found was a plastic smog that spread throughout all the water. And in some parts of the oceans, scientists have found more plastic than plant.”The pieces of the plastic garbage infect the food chain, sometimes visibly, and more so at the microscopic level, where the plastic particles interact with other pollutants. “There are heavy metals, medicines, industrial waste in the sea, while it acts like magnets(磁铁). These poisonous substances absorb on the plastic, and then when seafood absorbs the plastics, those poisonous substances enter the fatty tissues.”To be consumed by other sea life and by people at last.China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam are the worst plastic polluters. The United States, although a leader in recycling, is one of the world’s 20 since it produces and consumes so much plastic. There are efforts around the world to address the problem, including at this newly opened recycling center in Lebanon(黎巴嫩). But Andersen says there is more that people can do. “Cut back on single-use plastics, straws, plastic cups, plastic water bottles, plastic bags and find alternatives like reusable materials.”She says healthy oceans are essential to our survival.28. What can we learn from the passage?A. There’s all island full of plastic rubbish in the Pacific.B. The bad effect of plastic pollution can’t be seen by eyes.C. The United States is the least plastic polluters.D. The plastic pollution to oceans is more serious than what we can see.29. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 3?A. Pollutants like heavy metals and medicines.B. The plastic particles.C. Seafood.D. Fatty tissues.30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. All Asian countries have the most serious problem of plastic pollution.B. The plastic problem hasn’t attracted the world’s attention.C. Andersen is not satisfied with what has been done to solve the plastic problem.D. People should stop using plastic products immediately.31. Which may be the title of the passage?A. Plastic pollution in the World.B. Plastic pollution—Oceans’ Disaster.C. Ways to solve the problem of plastic pollution to oceans.D. Plastic pollution and our health.DSomething’s happening at the lowes t point on our planet, some 1,388 feet below sea level. The Dead Sea, a salt lake close to Israel, Jordan and the West Bank, is shrinking at an alarming rate — about 3.3 feet per year, according to the environmentalist group EcoPeace Middle East.“It’s not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea; it’s more like the whole region,”said photographer Moritz Küstner, who visited the area in February to work on his series “The Dying Dead Sea”.The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin. But around the 1960s, the courses of some water sources it relied upon were diverted. Israel, for instance, built a pipeline during that time so it could supply water throughout the country.Mineral extraction(提取) industries are another main reason why the water levels are declining, experts say. The Dead Sea’s minerals have been popular for their medical power and can often be found in cosmetics(化妆品) and other consumer products.And then, of course, there’s the Middle East’s hot, dry climate, which makes it difficult for the lake to refill itself. Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $ 900 million deal in an effort to stabilize the Dead Sea’s water levels. It involves building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea which would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump much needed water — some 300 million cubic meters annually — into the Dead Sea.“This is the most important and significant agreement since the peace treaty with Jordan (in 1994),”said Silvan Shalom, Israel’s energy and water resources minister at the time. Whether the canal —estimated to take three years to complete — will work out positively and as planned remains to be seen.For now, Küstner shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with people from all over the world going there to swim in its salty waters.32. How many reasons for the Dead Sea’s shrinking does the author mention in the passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.33. W hat does the underlined word “diverted” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Switch.B. Improve.C. Accomplish.D. Repair.34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Dead Sea is drying out causing water shortage to humans.B. Küstner visited the Dead Sea to shoot TV series about people’s life.C. The Dead Sea’s minerals have been used in some products.D. The Dead Sea’s water levels have been stabilized by building a canal.35. What is the passage mainly about?A. How the Dead S ea’s water levels’ decline influences human beings.B. How important the Dead Sea is in Israel,Jordan and the West Bank.C. What we should do to save the Dead Sea from being destroyed.D. Why the Dead Sea is dying and the measure taken to save it.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。
