After a few minutes,it’s all over. I’m trying to put my leg behind my nec k.No,that desk and I didn’t get along.Sitting still was hard enough,but I also struggled with reading.Reading out loud in class was a special kind of hell(地狱).By the third grade I had progressed from being one of “those kids” to being the “special kid”. I was found to have multiple language-based learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder (A.D.D) (注意力缺陷障碍症). I was turned into a “patient” who needed treatment rather than a human being with differences.I struggled with severe anxiety and depression at age 10.I survived this time in my life because of my mom. She knew in her heart that her child wasn’t broken and didn’t need to be fixed.My mom was right. When I think back on my school experience.I realize it wasn’t the A.D.D. that disabled me. What disabled me were limitations not in myself but in the environment. I’ve come to believe that I did not have a disability, as it is common to say, but experienced disability in environments that could not accommodate and accept my differences.In the fall of 1977,after two years at Loyola Marymount University,where my learning differences were fully accommodated, I transferred to(转学)Brown University, where I graduated with an honors degree in English literature. I still can’t spell or sit still,but I now use support and technology to relieve my weakness and build a life on my strengths. I don’t feel stupid anymore and I know that I—and others like me—can live good lives despite these challenges.24．What does the author want to tell us in the first paragraph?A. He didn’t like to study.B. He used to be active at school.C. He suffered from a broken desk.D. He had trouble sitting still in class.25．How did the author probably feel in class in his early school years?A.Exited.B.Uneasy.C.Interested.D.Bored.26．Which of the following is correct according to the last paragraph?A. He is living a good life with his weakness.B. His disability has been cured by technology.C. He got his honors degree in English literature in the fall of 1997.D. He was transferred to Brown University because of his disability.27．From the passage we learn that__________.A. a disability is nothing but a differenceB. family’s support is the most importantC. disabled people can’t live well however hard they workD. sometimes limitations of the environment disable a personCRow after row they marched — thousands of larger-than-life figures frozen in clay, a phalanx(方阵) of officials defend ing the tomb of China’s first emperor.Silently they guarded beneath the soil for 2,200 years, until a farmer digging a well in 1974 found broken piece s of unparalleled significance near China’s early capital city, Xianyang.Now those fierce warriors have reached the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts(VMFA) to tell their extraordinary story. The exhibition will be on display at VMFA from Saturday, November 18, 2017 through March 11, 2018 before traveling to the Cincinnati Art Museum.Ten of the clay figures will stand with a total of 130 objects from 14 museums and archaeological institutes in China’s Shaanxi P rovince, where the current city of Xi’an is located. Forty of the objects have never left China before. Beyond the life-size clay figures, the exhibit brings perspective with objects that range from bronze spearheads found in the emperor’s tomb to a small gold tiger that pre-dated him by more than 250 years.The fascination draws lots of visitors wherever the terracotta figures have traveled. The National Geographic Museum in Washington had a record-setting 280,000 people at itsfour-month exhibit of 15 figures in 2009—2010. Chicago’s Field Museum attracted 460,000 to its 10-month exhibit that ended in January.At the same time with the VMFA exhibit, Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute will have a terracotta warriors exhibit that focuses on the science and technology that went into their creation. VMFA focuses on why they were created and how they fit into China’s long sweep of history. Each institution has 10 life-size terracotta figures on display, giving an unprecedented(空前的) opportunity to study them in depth.The VMFA exhibition is divided into three sections. The first one introduces the emperor; the second puts him in context with artifacts from the warring states; the third shows his journey into the afterlife.28. According to Paragraph 2, some of the items on display .A. have not gone abroadB. have just been discoveredC. are from museums all over ChinaD. were earlier than China’s first emperor29. How many American cities will hold the exhibition of terracotta warriors?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.30. How do Americans think of terracotta warriors?A. Attractive.B. Aggressive.C. Professional.D. Conservative.31. What is the best title for the text?A.Terracotta Warriors of ChinaB.The Exhibit of China’s First EmperorC.Terracotta Warriors Exhibits in the USD. New Discoveries in Terracotta WarriorsDGenealogy, also known as family history, is the study of families and the footmarks of their lineages(家系) and history. Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to prove kinship(亲属关系) and lineages of its members. The results are often displayed in charts or written as descriptions.The pursuit of family history and origins tends to be shaped by several impetuses, including the desire to carve out a place for one’s family in the larger historical picture, a sense of responsibility to preserve the past for future generations, and a sense of self-satisfaction in accurate storytelling.In communitarian societies, one’s identity is established as much by one’s kinnetwork as by individual achievement, and the question ＂Who are you?＂ would be answered by a description of father, mother, and lineages. New Zeala nd Māori, for example, learn genealogies to discover who they are.In societies such as Australia or the United States, there was by the 20th-century growing pride in the pioneers and nation-builders. Establishing descent(继承) from these was, and is, important to such groups as the Daughters of the American Revolution(DAR).Modern family history explores new sources of status, such as celebrating the rebirth of families that survived generations of poverty or slavery, or the success of families in combining across racial or national boundaries. Some family histories even emphasize links to celebrity criminals, such as the bushranger(绿林好汉) Ned Kelly in Australia.The growing interest in family history in the media coupled with easier access to online records has allowed those who are curious to do so to start investigating their ancestry. This curiosity can be particularly strong among those whose family histories were lost or unknown due to, for example, adoption or separation from family, perhaps as a result of bereavement(丧失).32. Which of the following is connected with genealogy?A. The DNA tests.B. Historicalnovels.C. Political positions.D. Education standards.33. What is the meaning of the underlined word ＂impetuses＂ in Paragraph 2?A. Results.B. Drives.C. Categories.D. Exploitations.34. Why do Māori study genealogies?A. To get achievements.B. To learn their origins.C. To change their identities.D. To create their kin network.35. What do we know about genealogy from Paragraph 4?A. DAR is a genealogy organization.B. Organizations have their genealogy.C. Australia is a pioneer in genealogy.D. Genealogy inspires the love for nation.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。

Elmstreet Village CinemaB.Findley Park Cinema D. The Orange Cinema CompanyBOne afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son’s school being comforted by teachers. That morning, my 11-year-old had stomach pains, retching（干呕）into a bowl. Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficult sleeping the night before.What caused so much pain? Sports day. Sports day might be necessary at a highly-competitive independent school, but not at a village primary school. For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day cause no problem. For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is nightmare（噩梦）. Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disease.Why do we put our children through this annual suffering? Some may say competition is character building; or it’s taking part, not winning, that’s important; or that’s a tradition of school life. I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting — and were fun to watch. More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone’s eyes. Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other lesscompetitive event. Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.5. What can we learn about the author’s son from Paragraph 1?A. He talked with some mothers.B. He comforted his classmates.C. He had difficulty in sleeping.D. He suffered from stomachache.6. Sports day is still an annul event in this school probably because __________.A. this is an independent schoolB. it is a tradition of the schoolC. it helps children lose weightD. children enjoy watching sports7. What does the author think about team games?A. They should include more stressful races.B. They are acceptable to different children.C. They should be abandoned at primary school.D. They are less fun for those who love running.CPeak sun health bodies have increased their advice on when to use sunscreen (防晒霜), now suggesting Australians apply it every day to avoid harmful health effects.The update is the result of a Sunscreen Summit which took place in the Australian State of Queensland. During the summit, representatives from some of Australia’s leading research, medical and public health bodies examined the current evidence on sunscreen use and determined that in most parts of the country it is beneficial to apply sunscreen every day.“Up until now, most public health organizations have recommended applying sunscreen ahead of planned outdoor activities but haven’t specifically recommended applying it every day as part of a morning routine,” associate professor Rachel Neale from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute said. “In recent years, it has become clear that the DNA damage that causes skin cancer and melanoma (黑色素瘤) accumulates with repeated small does (剂量) of sunlight,” Neale said. “In Australia, we get a lot of sun exposure from every day activities such as walking to the bus stop or train station, or hanging out washing,”Neale said.Troublingly, a study showed that one in two Australians believed it was unhealthy and potentially dangerous to use sunscreen every day, which Terry Slevin from the Public Health Association of Australia says is wrong. “There is consistent and compelling evdience that sunscreens are safe, and reactions occur in a very low proportion of the population,” Slevin said. “Importantly, clinical trials (临床试验）have found that peoplewho use sunscreen daily have the same levels of vitamin D as those who don’t,” Slevin added.Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, which is made worse by the country’s proximity to Antarctica where there is a hole in the ozone layer (臭氧层), letting in higher numbers of UV rays.8.Which of the following is the misunderstanding of many Australians?ing sunscreen daily is bad to people’s healthB.Sunscreen reaction will never take place.ing sunscreen daily can lower levels of vitaminD.ing sunscreen daily can avoid skin cancer.9. Which of the following best explains “compelling” underlined in Para 4?A.interestingB. disappointingC. surprisingD. convincing10. What can we know about UV rays?A.They have only affected Australia.B.They are the only cause of skin cancer.C.They are harmful to people.D.They only exist in Antactica.11. What does the passage manly tell us?A.Experts recommend new ways to sunscreen use.B.Experts advise us to exercise a lot outdoors.C.Sunshine is bad for our health in a long run.D.Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer.DWhen you look at fashion shows or see the latest clothes for this year in a magazine, you might think you’ve seen it all before. It sometimes seems that most of the designers are just going back to ideas that have already been around at least once before. If you really want to know what the future of fashion is, you need to look at an area that isalwasys looking forward: technology. The meeting point of fashion and technology is where the really exciting new ideas are.For several years now, people have been talking about “wearable technology”as the next big development. In fact, some products that fit this description are already in the shops. You can buy watches that do everything your smart phone can do, or glasses with computers in that follow your eye movements and feed information to you as you walk around. But there’s much more to wearable technology than that.Sports clothing is one area where new ideas are developing very fast. Runners and other sports people already wear small computers on their wrists that give them continuous information about how fast they’re running, how hard their bodies are working and so on. Experts agree that it’s often sports people (ususally young men) who are the first to take up new fashion ideas. Others then follow.Women, it seems, are usually more interested in what clothes look like than what they can do, and techology has a part to play here too. Designers are already making clothes that can change color with how you are feeling, or react to sound. And if you think that sound unlikely, just think of all the things we accept as quite normal today that seemed impossible or silly only ten years ago.The main reason that things like this aren’t in normal shops is that they aren’t cheap. But, as with all technological products, the price will surely come down fast. In any case, technological clothing doesn’t have to be expensive.12. What does the author intend to tell us in the first paragraph?A.Technology develops faster than fashion.B.The old fashion ideas are more popular.C.Technology can bring new ideas to fashion.D.Fashion keeps moving forward.13.What does the underlined word “that” in Para 4 refer to?A.The fact that women prefer the fashion style.B.The truth that people’s feelings can be controlled by clothes.C.Clothes that can answer questions.D.Clothes that can change colors according to wearers’ feelings.14. What can we learn from the text?A.Technological clothing is not available on the market.B.Sports people are the first to accept new fashions.C.Women do not like technological clothing.D.Technological clothing will be expensive.15.What is the author’s attitude towards wearable technology’s future?Doubtful B. Optimistic C. Negative D. Objective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。

Even though one has little, he should try to help others.CAdults perform better whe n they have a lot to gain or lose. But scie ntists did notknow whether tee ns did too. To find out, I nsel asked 88 people betwee n the ages of13 and 20. She had them try a game. The participa nts looked at pictures of pla netson a computer scree n. They had to click as fast as they could whe n they saw a pla netwith desig ns. They were not supposed to click if a pla net had no desig ns.The participa nts could earn 20 cents for right an swers but lose 10 cents for wrongones. In other sessions, they'd get a dollar for right answers, and lose a half dollar for wrong on es.Players of all ages wan ted to win the mon ey, and cared more about bigger rewards tha n smaller on es. As In sel expected, adults performed better whe n the stakes were high. But tee ns 13to 18 played just as well whether they stood to win 20 cents or a dollar. Only 19-or 20-year olds stepped up their game for the higher stakes.Insel's team published this work November 28, 2017, in Nature Communications.Brains cha nge and mature duri ng adolesce nee. And not all parts grow at the same rate. In sel was in terested in two areas in particular. One is deep in side the brain andjust above the ears. Called the ventral striatum （ 腹侧纹状体 ）,it helps the brain calculate rewards. The ven tral striatum becomes mature duri ng the tee n years.The brain's prefron tal cortex （前额叶）takes Ion ger to mature. This area is importa ntfor planning and setting goals. It may not mature until early adulthood.Nerve pathways — think of them as the brain's "wiring"— connect the ventral striatumand prefrontal cortex. This lets the two regions communicate to make decisions. But because the prefr on tal cortex matures later, the wiri ng betwee n the two may not be complete un til adulthood.Which of the follow ing can expla in In sel's research?A. Teens ignore key points in many aspects.27. 28.B. Adults behave better with higher rewards.C. Teens give more attention to exams than usual work.D. Adults behave more maturely than children in every way.29. What does the underlined word "stakes" refer to?A. The final results of games or experiments.B. The things that can be gained or lost in races.C. The ambitions or energies that one experiences in games.D. The powers that make one feel less pressure or pain.30. From the passage, we can know __________ .A. the experiment aims to find out adults' behaviour facing high stakesB. teens have better performances in the first roundsC. adults care less about the experiment at firstD. adults and teens show differently with high stakes31. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Unlike adults, teens don't perform better with high stakesB. Who perform better, adults or children?C. Stakes are the key points in promoting one's passionD. Whether low stakes or high stakes, one behaves similarlyDAttempting to open very old books and records without damaging them can be difficult, but scientists inSwitzerland say they have improved a method to read age-old documents without even touching them.Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology are using radiation, in the form of x-rays, tocreate images of the documents. This method is called X-ray computed tomography or X-Raytomography.Ona recent day, the researchers used X-ray tomography to read from a small 14th century document.Giorgio Margaritondo is working on the project. Reading from the document, he noted, "in the year 1351,a young lady from Venice...wrote a testament, and then the testament was sealed, and remained sealedfor all these many centuries."Italian oficials are planning to use X-Ray tomography to build an open digital system in the State Archivesof Venice. Margarit ondo says, "What you find in side the Archives are not only small docume nts. But- 5 -most of the items are huge volumes the size of atable, and so we must be able in the future to look in side them."Many of the docume nts show sig ns of weatheri ng, and are easily broke n. Fauzia Albert in is also worki ng on the project. She says, "We n eed a tech nique to read in side them.Thanks to the use for thousa nds of years of iron-based inks we can read them usingX-rays."Alberti n is also with the Swiss Federal In stitute of Tech no logy. The researchers havea lot of work to keep them busy. The State Archives of Ven ice has a huge nu mber ofrecords. They were produced over a period of about 1,000 years. The docume nts cover about 80 kilometers of shelf space.32. What writing method does the third paragraph use?A. Descripti on.B. Giving examples.C. Comparis on. C. Listi ng figures.33.

What is the purpose of Icelanders to hold the Secret Solstice festival?A. To welcome summer.B. To memorize the past winter.C. To celebrate the coming of spring.D. To advise the local beautiful landscapes.BLet me tell you about my relationship with the school desk.From my first day at Penny Camp Elementary School in 1982,it was terrible.This is how it went down: five seconds into class, the foot start bouncing;10 seconds in, both feet; 15 seconds,I burst out the drums ! After a few minutes,it’s all over. I’m trying to put my leg behind my neck.No,that desk and I didn’t get along.Sitting still was hard enough,but I also struggled with reading.Reading out loud in class was a special kind of hell(地狱).By the third grade I had progressed from being one of “those kids” to being the “special kid”. I was found to have multiple language-based learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder (A.D.D) (注意力缺陷障碍症). I was turned into a “patient” who needed treatment rather than a human being with differences.I struggled with severe anxiety and depression at age 10.I survived this time in my life because of my mom. She knew in her heart that her c hild wasn’t broken and didn’t need to be fixed.My mom was right. When I think back on my school experience.I realize it wasn’t the A.D.D. that disabled me. What disabled me were limitations not in myself but in the environment. I’ve come to believe that I did not have a disability, as it is common to say, but experienced disability in environments that could not accommodate and accept my differences.In the fall of 1977,after two years at Loyola Marymount University,where my learning differences were fully accommodated, I transferred to(转学)Brown University, where I graduated with an honors degree in English literature. I still can’t spell or sit still,but I now use support and technology to relieve my weakness and build a life on my strengths. I don’t feel s tupid anymore and I know that I—and others like me—can live good lives despite these challenges.24．What does the author want to tell us in the first paragraph?A. He didn’t like to study.B. He used to be active at school.C. He suffered from a broken desk.D. He had trouble sitting still in class.25．How did the author probably feel in class in his early school years?A.Exited.B.Uneasy.C.Interested.D.Bored.26．Which of the following is correct according to the last paragraph?A. He is living a good life with his weakness.B. His disability has been cured by technology.C. He got his honors degree in English literature in the fall of 1997.D. He was transferred to Brown University because of his disability.27．From the passage we learn that__________.A. a disability is nothing but a differenceB. family’s support is the most importantC. disabled people can’t live well however hard they workD. sometimes limitations of the environment disable a personCRow after row they marched — thousands of larger-than-life figures frozen in clay, a phalanx(方阵) of officials defend ing the tomb of China’s first emperor.Silently they guarded beneath the soil for 2,200 years, until a farmer digging a well in 1974 found broken pieces of unparalleled significance near China’s early capital city, Xianyang.Now those fierce warriors have reached the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts(VMFA) to tell their extraordinary story. The exhibition will be on display at VMFA from Saturday, November 18, 2017 through March 11, 2018 before traveling to the Cincinnati Art Museum.Ten of the clay figures will stand with a total of 130 objects from 14 museums and archaeological institutes in China’s Shaanxi Province, where the current city of Xi’an is located. Forty of the objects have never le ft China before. Beyond the life-size clayfigures, the exhibit brings perspective with objects that range from bronze spearheads found in the emperor’s tomb to a small gold tiger that pre-dated him by more than 250 years.The fascination draws lots of visitors wherever the terracotta figures have traveled. The National Geographic Museum in Washington had a record-setting 280,000 people at its four-month exhibit of 15 figures in 2009—2010. Chicago’s Field Museum attracted 460,000 to its 10-month exhibit that ended in January.At the same time with the VMFA exhibit, Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute will have a terracotta warriors exhibit that focuses on the science and technology that went into their creation. VMFA focuses on why they were created and how they fit into China’s long sweep of history. Each institution has 10 life-size terracotta figures on display, giving an unprecedented(空前的) opportunity to study them in depth.The VMFA exhibition is divided into three sections. The first one introduces the emperor; the second puts him in context with artifacts from the warring states; the third shows his journey into the afterlife.28. According to Paragraph 2, some of the items on display .A. have not gone abroadB. have just been discoveredC. are from museums all over ChinaD. were earlier than China’s first emperor29. How many American cities will hold the exhibition of terracotta warriors?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.30. How do Americans think of terracotta warriors?A. Attractive.B. Aggressive.C. Professional.D. Conservative.31. What is the best title for the text?A.Terracotta Warriors of ChinaB.The Exhibit of China’s First EmperorC.Terracotta Warriors Exhibits in the USD. New Discoveries in Terracotta WarriorsDGenealogy, also known as family history, is the study of families and the footmarks of their lineages(家系) and history. Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to prove kinship(亲属关系) and lineages of its members. The results are often displayed in charts or written as descriptions.The pursuit of family history and origins tends to be shaped by several impetuses, including the desireto carve out a place for one’s family in the larger historical picture, a sense of responsibility to preserve the past for future generations, and a sense of self-satisfaction in accurate storytelling.In communitarian societies, one’s identity is established as much by one’s kin network as by individual achievement, and the question ＂Who are you?＂would be answered by a description of father, mother, and lineages. New Zealand Māori, for example, learn genealogies to discover who they are.In societies such as Australia or the United States, there was by the 20th-century growing pride in the pioneers and nation-builders. Establishing descent(继承) from these was, and is, important to such groups as the Daughters of the American Revolution(DAR).Modern family history explores new sources of status, such as celebrating the rebirth of families that survived generations of poverty or slavery, or the success of families in combining across racial or national boundaries. Some family histories even emphasize links to celebrity criminals, such as the bushranger(绿林好汉) Ned Kelly in Australia.The growing interest in family history in the media coupled with easier access to online records has allowed those who are curious to do so to start investigating their ancestry. This curiosity can be particularly strong among those whose family histories were lost or unknown due to, for example, adoption or separation from family, perhaps as a result of bereavement(丧失).32. Which of the following is connected with genealogy?A. The DNA tests.B. Historicalnovels.C. Political positions.D. Education standards.33. What is the meaning of the underlined word ＂impetuses＂in Paragraph 2?A. Results.B. Drives.C. Categories.D. Exploitations.34. Why do Māori study genealogies?A. To get achievements.B. To learn their origins.C. To change their identities.D. To create their kin network.35. What do we know about genealogy from Paragraph 4?A. DAR is a genealogy organization.B. Organizations have their genealogy.C. Australia is a pioneer in genealogy.D. Genealogy inspires the love for nation.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。

Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol. It not only says, “I’m r ich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,” but also, “I’m cosmopolitan (见多识广的) enough to be part of globalization.”Where I come from in the UK, however, chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet(美食的). Chains are where you go on New Year’s Day when no where else is open, or when you are 5 years old and your parents can’t stand hearing, “I’m huuuuuungry!” any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald’s), a chain is where you are takenon your first “date”. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the “let’s just be friends” phone call the next day.In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says “let’s meet for a coffee at Monmouth” (an independent cafe) is much cooler than one who says “let’s go to Starbucks”. Even if Monmouth’s coffee is a little more expensive, there’s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren’t going straight to the big corporations.Of course, there are chain stores all over the UK; you can’t g o five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste.I do, however, have a confession (坦白). After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDona ld’s.24. Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because______.A. the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign cultureB. the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurantsC. these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic dateD. they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status25. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The author has grown tired of Chinese food.B. Most independent stores are closed on New Year’s D ay in the UK.C.Branchesof Monmouth’s cafe can be found all over the UK.D. It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.26. We can infer from the article that ______.A. many Britons don’t like big corporationsB. the author doesn’t like food from Pizza HutC. the author doesn’t like to follow fashion trendsD. many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality27. What does the underlined word (in the last paragraph) mean?A. adaptedB. contributedC. subscribedD. switchedCIt never occurred to anybody, not even the creators that the world would care about the complex lives, loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers. But there’s no doubt that Friends(老友记)has become more than just a successful situation comedy—it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century. Along the way, it has made its half-dozen leading actors famous.Looking back on the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other’s apartments and at Greenwich Village’s Central Perk coffee house, Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman’s after-college years, when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other’s lives.I t didn’t take long for viewers to make friends with Friends. The situation comedy quickly became a top ten hit. Critics loved it as well. Entertainment Weekly said the show operated like a Broadway show, with twisty plots and unique jokes. The television t heme song has also been a success with the public. The song’s success helped save the television theme song. An ABC(美国广播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his network’s shows, thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind-- remote controls or not, the TV theme song would stay.Years have gone by, but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine latter-day social phenomenon.28. What is stressed in the second paragraph?A. The role models of Friends.B. The popularity of Friends.C. The origin of Friends.D. The brilliance of Friends.29. Which of the following is TRUE about Friends?A. It has a simple but entertaining plot.B. It is about friendship between college students.C. It was criticized by Entertainment Weekly.D. It first came into being in the 1990s.30. What can we learn from the passage?A. The ABC executive thought highly of the theme song of Friends.B. Producer, Kevin S. Bright, graduated from the same college as David Crane.C. ABC once replaced the theme song of its TV show with a short music intro.D. Marta Kauffman expected Friends to achieve great success.31. What might the author think of Friends?A. Its merits outweigh its shortcomings.B. He/she shows great affection towards it.C. Its success lies in the lack of good situation comedies.D. He/she has a reserved attitude towards its success.DAs the labor market becomes more attractive, more companies are sending their employees to school. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is the latest company to use tuition assistance for employees –which for decades has been a part of many business’ benefits packages – as part of a renewed effort to bring in and cultivate talent. And while the impact of such programs has yet to be fully assessed, many see it as a positive – although gradual – movement.“For workers, it gives them a better opportunity for development,” says Colleen Flaherty Manchester, a professor. “For firms, they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over, and thus have a higher level of retention(保留) .”In all, 56 percent of US organizations offer undergraduate educational assistance while 52 percent offer graduate assistance.Largely driving the trend are Millennials, who happen to be the fastest-growing people in the US workforce today and to whom the idea of tuition support from employers is especially appealing. Nearly 60 percent of Millennials surveyed said they would choose a job with strong professional-development potential over one with regular pay raises. Employers are absolutely adapting to Millennials in the workplace. They recognize that they need more experience, more knowledge, more mentoring to be successful. And they’re asking for it.Of more than 140,000 Starbucks employees, only about 4,000 have signed up for the company’s College Achievement Plan. What the long-term effects such programs might have for companies’ retention and turnover rates remain unclear. But, the pluses of these programs are more important than the minuses. We’re goi ng to seea lot more of this in the future.32. Using tuition assistance for employees ________.A. has attracted a large number of talentsB. is a trend that formed recentlyC. has existed for scores of yearsD. is well received by employees33. What can we learn from what Colleen Flaherty said?A. It is merely beneficial to employeesB. It is a win-win event for employees and employers.C. Valuing education has become a trend for all companies.D. It turns out to be tough for firms to find suitable employees.34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. regular pay raises.B. more chances to be successfulC. educational supportD. professional –development potential35. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the programs?A. The programs can guarantee the employees a good job.B. The impact of the programs remains to be estimated.C. Employees will benefit more from the programs than companies.D. It’s less likely that employees wi ll remain in the same company afterreceiving the programs.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

赤峰二中高一年级周考英语试题第一节阅读理解（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）People realize that, although animals may not have the same intelligence（智力）as human beings, they are smart enough to learn certain things.Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people. When a dog has been properly trained, he will always lead his blind master in the right direction and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their master ordered them to do so.Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises, traffic, and other disturbances. Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses, but they are also quite high strung（易紧张）. Therefore, it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient(耐心) and understanding.The moving pictures and television can use trained animals too. Some animals, such as monkeys and foxes, are easy to film. All you have to do is make a trail in front of the camera by dragging something that smells good to the animals over the ground. Big animals, such as lions and tigers, can be photographed as they bound happily back to their families and dinner. If a movie actor is nearby, the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him. However, the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death by the skin of his teeth.1. Dogs who help blind people must learn .A. to obey all ordersB. to obey only safe ordersC. never to cross roadsD. to cross road when ordered to do so2. Race horses are hard to train because they are .A. faster than other horsesB. smaller than other horsesC. clever than other horseD. more nervous than other horses3. What does “make a trail” mean here in the last paragraph?A. place something to attract the animalB. give the animal a certain taskC. order the animal to do thingsD. follow the animal to hunt4. Lions can be photographed easily when .A. they are following a trial of something that smells good to themB. they are returning to their familiesC. they have been trained to work with other animalsD. they do not know a movie-actor is nearby5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Animals can be useful.B. Dangerous wild animals can be trained.C. The well-trained animals can learn the difference between the unwanted people and friends.D. Animals can become interested in their tricks.第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）_6 _ one of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. it’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. _7 _ pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? the list is endless.

I have been thinking about the question you asked me. From my point of view, you can choose to come to China after finishing your studies.For one reason, Chin a’s development over the past 30 years offers quantities of job opportunities for the young. What’s more, what you are studying is badly needed in China nowadays. In fact, many big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you.For another reason, China is a country with so different cultures and traditions from the west that many foreigners enjoy living and working here.
