AOne day an ant was drinking at a small stream and fell in. She made desperate(adj.拼死的) efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant almost exhausted(adj.精疲力竭的) was still bravely doing her best when a dove saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the dove immediately flew away.

Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.He lp them — If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them.

But if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve (值得) to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you d on’t want t o stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!______ — Try to make plans with your friends.

Two buses travel along their route: the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?The regulations (规章) say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of theirpassengers. Can nothing be done to make your service better?Yours,Tired passenger16. The writer has to take Bus No. 49 because______.A. it is not always fullB. it arrives on timeC. it has fewer seats on itD. it travels faster17. The regulations say that each bus may carry ______ passengers at most.A. 40B. 20C.129D.6018. From the passage we can infer that the writer of the letter is probably ______.A. a bus driverB. an airport workerC. an English teacherD. a very tired traveler19. What kind of letter is this passage? ______.A. It’s a letter of apolog yB. It’s a letter of thanksC. It’s a letter of complaintD. It’s a letter of introductionBOne day my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. The other woman my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been living alone for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it impossible to visit her often.That Friday after work, when I arrived at her house, my mother waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary(周年).We went to a restaurant that, although not classical, was very nice and comfortable. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. "It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said. "Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I answered.During the dinner, we had a pleasant conversation nothing special but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.A few days later, my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her.Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt（收据）from the same place Mother and I had dined. A note said: “I paid this bill in advance. I w asn’t sure that I could be there; but I paid for two plates—one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.”At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: ‘I LOVE YOU’ and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some “other” time.20. why did the writer read the menu? Because _________.A. his mother couldn’t read at allB. h is mother couldn’t see clearlyC. he wanted to order something her mother likedD. he wanted to order something he liked21. According to the passage, we know the writer’s motherA. lives with her son’s family.B. wanted to invite her son to have dinner again.C. wrote a letter to tell her son about her illness.D. died of a heart attack all of sudden.22.The author found a note written by after his mother diedA .his mother B. his wife C. himself D. his children23.What do you think is the best title of this passage?A .My Mother’s Life B. An Unforgettable MealC. Love is Something You should never Put offD. My Mother And ICHave you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps theywere busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers（低头族）.Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated the damage phubbing can bring is real.Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck i s like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.24. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.25. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?A. His social skills could be affected.B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.C. He will cause the destruction of the world.D. He might get separated from his friends and family.26.Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?A. Supportive.支持的B. Negative.消极的C. Optimistic. 乐观的D. Objective.客观的27.What may the passage talk about next?A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.B. People addicted to phubbing.C. Results of phubbing.D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.DI am truly frustrated by the way my teenage children behave with me. It is a roller coaster(过山车)ride each day dealing with their moodiness and argumentative nature. But I do appreciate the courage they project at times and goals they undertake. They make me feel that they really aim high in life.” This could be the feeling of most parents with teenage children.I understand these parents. They are not alone. Children start their journey into the broad world and are greatly influenced by what others have to say, especially their peers（同辈）that they consider closer than even their parents and family.The brains of teenagers in the ages of 13 to 19 experience a lot of changes that bring about these effects that most parents like us fail to understand. One of the main changes is what takes place due to the beneficial pruning (修剪)that takes place in the branches of the prefrontal cortex(前额皮质). All these changes eventually help build clear judgment, plan and control impulses （冲动）.It is best that we just recall how we behaved as a teenager and you would surely come across some of our mums that support their teenage grandchildren and say we were much worse. Taking a positive look by realizing that it is a part of the growing process would help.We may tell our teenage children to have confidence in their abilities and not be influenced by what others say of them, but this anxiety of what society says of themcan be overwhelming. It could be real huge pressure that teens can never tell parents, but it would pay to build up trustworthy relationships with them. This would help keep a watch and monitor some of their wrong activities and avoid their getting into trouble due to peer pressure.28. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?A. poor.B. smallC. big.D. good29. According to the passage, teenagers’ personality is most affected by .A. parentsB. teachersC. friendsD. peers30. What is the best title for the passage?A. Understand Your TeenagersB. Why do Teenagers Change?C. Give Confidence to TeenagersD. Learn to Love Your Teenagers第二小节七选五（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。

Wi-Fi access22.According to the guest ratings, all the guests are satisfied with its _________.A. heating system accommodationsbreakfast parking fee23.This advertisement is made more believable by _______.A. interviewing the guests using guests’ commentsanalyzing its pros and cons providing the exact addressB篇The Vienna-based researchers showed that dogs will stop doing a simple task when not rewarded if another dog, which continues to be rewarded, is present．The experiment consisted of taking pairs of dogs and getting them to present a paw for a reward．On giving this “handshake” the dogs received a piece of food．One of the dogs was then asked to shake hands, but received no food．The other dog continued to get the food when it was asked to perform the task．The dog without the reward quickly stopped doing the task, and showed signs of anger or stress when its partner was rewarded．To make sure that the experiment was really showing the interaction between the dogs rather than just the frustration of not being rewarded, a similar experiment was conducted where the dogs performed the task without the partner．Here they continued to present the paw for much longer．Dr Frederike Range from the University of Vienna says this shows that it was the presence of the rewarded partner that was the greater influence on their behaviour．“The only difference is one gets food and the other doesn’t, they are resp onding to being unequally rewarded．” she said．The researchers say this kind of behaviour, where one animal gets frustrated with what is happening with another, has only been observed in primates(灵长类) before．Studies with various types of monkeys and chimpanzees show they react not only to seeing their partners receiving rewards when they are not, but also to the type of reward．The dog study also looked at whether the type of reward made a difference．Dogs were given either bread or sausage, but seemed to react equally to either．Dr Range says this may be because they have been trained．24．The dogs refused to give the paw when they_______．A．found another dog was given nothingB．felt they were not treated equallyC．were aware they received less foodD．were given too much reward25．What would the dogs do if they presented their paw alone?A．They would go on with the performance much longer．B．They would be too shy to present their paw．C．They would miss their partners．D．They would compare what they got with that of others．26．According to the passage, compared with dogs, monkeys and chimpanzees ______．A．pay no attention to the type of rewardB．only like to play interesting gamesC．pay attention to the type of reward as well as whether they are rewardedD．care more about how they are rewarded27．Which of the following can best summerise the passage?A．Animals’ various ways to show angerB．Dogs are more envious than manC．Most animals want to be be rewarded for their workD．Animals also have a sense of fairｎｅｓｓＣ篇There are over one million superstitions(迷信), and most people believe at least one or two ofthem.Many people are superstitious about numbers. They think that there are lucky numbers and unlucky numbers.The number 13 is often considered unlucky. In some parts of the world, buildings have no 13th floor and streets have no houses with the number 13. In Japan, "4" isconsidered unlucky because in Japanese the word "four" is pronounced the same as the word "death" .Japanese never give gifts of four knives, four napkins, or four of anything.What are the lucky numbers? Seven is a lucky number in many places, and "8" is considered a lucky number in Japan and China. In China, businesses often open on August 8, and many couples register to get married at eight past eight on August 8.Superstitions about numbers are so widespread that some people--called numerologist--make a living by giving advice about numbers.In 1937, when the Toyoda family of Japan wanted to form a car company, they asked a numerologist if "Toyoda" would be a good name for the company. The numerologist said it would not be. He explained that "Toyota" would be a better name for the company. The family took his advice. As a result, millions of people drive "Toyota" and not "Toyoda" .There are many other kinds of superstitions. There are superstitions about eating, sleeping, sneezing and itching(抓痒). There are superstitions about animals and holidays and horseshoes.There are even superstitions about superstitions. Those superstitions will tell people how to reverse bad luck.When the Japanese bump heads, they immediately bump heads again. According to a Japanese superstition, the first-bump means their parents will die, but the second bump "erases" the first bump To reverse bad luck in general, people turn around three times, turn their pockets inside out, or put their hats on backwards.In the United States, baseball players sometimes wear their caps backwards when their team is losing. It looks silly, but the baseball players do not mind if it helps them win the game. 28．It can be inferred that superstitions about numbers are .A．popular neither in Japan nor in ChinaB．popular only in Japan and in ChinaC．popular both in Japan and in ChinaD．causing great troubles both in Japan and in China29．The underlined word " reverse " means .A．change to bad luckB．cause to go in the opposite directionC．change for the worseD．exchange30．If a Japanese purposely bumps his head again after an accidental bump, we can be sure that .A．he is madB．he is happyC．he is superstitious D．he is very sad31．The writer wrote this passage with the purpose of .A．persuading us to believe superstitionsB．showing us some facts of superstitionsC．showing us the magic power of numberD．showing us a numerologistD篇Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to rem ember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking.A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. Even the type of network signal that a phone uses can matter. Much of Switzerland was using an older “second-generation” type of cell pho ne networks, the study reports. Many phone carriers (通讯公司) have moved away from such networks. And more companies plan to update their networks within the next few years.The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.1.The underlined word “impairment”in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “________”.A.application. loss.damage. improvement.2.According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that ______________________.A.Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones.The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones.The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total.The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.3.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A.How people hold their phones has no effect on their bodies.Phone users can make more money with new networks.The cell phone network type has little to do with the cell phone use.Radiation levels are affected by the cell phone network types.4.What might be the best title for the text?A.Cell phone use and safety warnings .Teen’s cell phone use linked to memory problems.Dangerous levels of cell phone use among teens.Facts about cell phone use at school.第三部分知识运用（共三节，满分65分）第一节完形填空（共20题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。

They were both always getting into trouble and their parents knew that if anything wrong happened in their town, their sons were probably involved.The boys’ mother heard that a minister in town had been successful in educating children, so she asked if he would speak to her boys. The minister agreed but asked to see them individually. So the mother sent her 8-year-old first in the morning, with the older boy to see the minister in the afternoon.The minister, a huge man with a deep voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him seriously, “Where is God?” The boy made no answer, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed. So the minister repea ted the question in an even more serious voice, “Where is God?” Again the boy made no answer. So the minister raised his voice and shouted, “WHERE IS GOD?”The boy screamed and ran out of the room, hurried directly home and hid himself in a cupboard. The o lder boy found him and asked, “What happened?” The younger boy breathlessly replied, “We are in BIG trouble this time. God is missing and they think WE did it.”。

Many people are superstitious about numbers. They think that there are lucky numbers and unlucky numbers. The number 13 is often considered unlucky. In some parts of the world, buildings have no 13th floor and streets have no houses with the number 13. In Japan, "4" is considered unlucky because in Japanese the word "four" is pronounced the same as the word "death" .Japanese never give gifts of four knives, four napkins, or four of anything.What are the lucky numbers? Seven is a lucky number in many places, and "8" is considered a lucky number in Japan and China. In China, businesses often open on August 8, and many couples register to get married at eight past eight on August 8.Superstitions about numbers are so widespread that some people--called numerologist--make a living by giving advice about numbers.In 1937, when the Toyoda family of Japan wanted to form a car company, they asked a numerologist if "Toyoda" would be a good name for the company. The numerologist said it would not be. He explained that "Toyota" would be a better name for the company. The family took his advice. As a result, millions of people drive "Toyota" and not "Toyoda" .There are many other kinds of superstitions. There are superstitions about eating, sleeping, sneezing and itching(抓痒). There are superstitions about animals and holidays and horseshoes.There are even superstitions about superstitions. Those superstitions will tell people how to reverse bad luck. When the Japanese bump heads, they immediately bump heads again. According to a Japanese superstition, the first-bump means their parents will die, but the second bump "erases" the first bumpTo reverse bad luck in general, people turn around three times, turn their pockets inside out, or put their hats on backwards.In the United States, baseball players sometimes wear their caps backwards when their team is losing. It looks silly, but the baseball players do not mind if it helps them win the game.28．It can be inferred that superstitions about numbers are .A．popular neither in Japan nor in ChinaB．popular only in Japan and in ChinaC．popular both in Japan and in ChinaD．causing great troubles both in Japan and in China29．The underlined word " reverse " means .A．change to bad luck B．cause to go in the opposite directionC．change for the worse D．exchange30．If a Japanese purposely bumps his head again after an accidental bump, we can be sure that .A．he is mad B．he is happy C．he is superstitious D．he is very sad31．The writer wrote this passage with the purpose of .A．persuading us to believe superstitionsB．showing us some facts of superstitionsC．showing us the magic power of numberD．showing us a numerologistD篇Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking.A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. Even the type of network signal that a phone uses can matter. Much of Switzerland was using an older “second-generation” type of cell phone networks, the study reports. Many phone carriers (通讯公司) have moved away from such networks. And more companies plan to update their networks within the next few years.The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.1.The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “________”.A.application. loss.damage. improvement.2.According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that ______________________.A.Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones.The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones.The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total.The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.3.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A.How people hold their phones has no effect on their bodies.Phone users can make more money with new networks.The cell phone network type has little to do with the cell phone use.Radiation levels are affected by the cell phone network types.4.What might be the best title for the text?A.Cell phone use and safety warnings .Teen’s cell phone use linked to memory problems.Dangerous levels of cell phone use among teens.Facts about cell phone use at school.第三部分知识运用（共三节，满分65分）第一节完形填空（共20题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。
