Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive in the street.Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather and the life of American people. Most of the radio programs are music. Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape and radio stations usethem in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people will buy his or her tape. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes,all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star. There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories aboutthe common (的) life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. It is about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl friend. They are very popular amongyoung people.16. How many kinds of music are mentioned in this passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.17. The pop singers can make much money because______.A. they make CDs or tapesB. many young people buy their tapesC. they are national starsD. all the people want to meet them18. The best title for this passage should be "______".A. Everyone likes music in AmericaB. Pop music in AmericaC. Music in AmericaD. Music is important to AmericansB．Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.19.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A. They thought spinach made them strong.B. They thought Popeye was funny.C. Spinach had a lot of iron.D .People liked folic acid.20.A research group told people that spinach______.A .made Popeye strongB. was a green vegetableC .had less iron than other green vegetablesD. had more iron than other green vegetables21.The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.A. iron B .folic acid C. spinach D. exercise22.Folic acid is ______.A. something in foodB. a vegetableC. dangerousD. a certain kind of spinachCThanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.In time, other colonies〔殖民地〕began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed〔宣布〕the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving. Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbours. But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October.23. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated .A. in springB. summerC. in autumnD. in winter24. The first to celebrate thanksgiving were .A. some people from EnglandB. the American IndiansC. Sarah Josepha HaleD. Governor Bradford25. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Thanksgiving Day used to be a holiday to celebrate a good harvest.B. Abraham Lincoln was not the first to decide on thanksgiving celebrations.C. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated to express the American and Indianpeople’s thanks to God.D. There’s little difference between the American way and the Canadianway to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.26. The passage mainly tells us .A. how Thanksgiving Day is celebrated in the U. S. A.B. how Thanksgiving Day came into being and the different ways it is celebratedC. that Thanksgiving Day is in fact a harvest holidayD. how the way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day changed with the time and placesDLiving a healthy lifestyle lies in forming the right eating habits. Here are some of the good habits you can develop when it comes to healthy eating.Drink plenty of water. You must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising.Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A recent study has shown that those who eat breakfast will consume(消耗) an average of 100 calories less during the day than their colleagues who skipped breakfast. They will also be able to concentrate(集中精神) better.Don’t skip lunch. If you do so, your blood sugar level will drop and your metabolism (陈代谢) will slow down. When you get home you are starving and eat everything you can find.We all need to snack from time to time, but please choose your snacks carefully. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks besides your three main meals. Choose healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables, low fat yogurt, cottage cheese with apple sauce, and so on.Eat your fruit and vegetables. We should eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Take a piece of fruit for a snack, a dd some banana and raisins to your favourite breakfast cereal (谷类食品), have a salad with lunch, and eat at least one vegetable at dinner each night.Do not eat your dinner too late. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 hours. Plan dinner for the week ahead of time and make sure you have everything you need in the house so other family members can get a head start on dinner if you have a late meeting at the office.27. How many good eating habits are mentioned in the passage?A. 5.B. 6.C. 7.D. 8.28. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. You should drink at least 8 glasses of water whatever the environment may be.B. Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, fruit and vegetables are equally important.C. It is suggested that you eat your dinner at seven if you plan to go to bed at ten.D. It is good for your health to eat fruits and vegetables at each meal every day.29.The underlined word “raisin〞 most probably means “_____〞.A. a dried grapeB. a peach leafC. a piece of cheeseD. a peanut30. You may most probably find this article _____.A. in a textbookB. in a science fiction bookC. in a websiteD. in an advertisement第二节:〔共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的〔A、B、C、D、E、F、G)选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.Turning to his daughter, he said, “Look closer, and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.“Father, what does this mean?” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, t he eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity (逆境) --- the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.The strong and hard potato became soft and weak in boiling water. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. “Which one do you want to be like,” he a sked. “When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond?”In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.24.

Father and daughter.CIn Melbourne lies an 87-square-meter, three-story, two-bedroom and one-bathroom house. That may sound like a real property advertisement, but it could be the home of the future.Made from organic materials and run on sustainable (可持续的) energy, the building, known as “The Greenhouse”, is completely zero waste. It was designe d by zero waste advocate Bakker, as part of his Future Food System housing experiment. “The greenhouse is inspired by nature --- it's an ecosystem where nothing is wasted,” Bakker says.Organic waste is fed into a biodigester where it ferments (发酵) and turns into gas for cooking or fertilizer for produce; rainwater is harvested and used for irrigation and a specific system, where plants grow using waste from fish; and hot steam from the shower enables a wall of mushrooms to boost. The house is designed, says Bakker, with the roof as the foundation, loaded with 35 tons of soil, which provides fertile (肥沃的) ground for produce --- more than 200 plant species grow on the roof, as well as insects, snails, fish and chickens.The site is more than just a model home; it’s been a real one for Jo Barrett and Matt Stone, who were chefs at the small in-house restaurant. “To be able to grow and produce food on a tiny footprint in the city and turn it into exciting dishes is completely unique,” says Stone.Through the project, Bakker wanted to demonstrate he could feed a family with his design. “I think we've proved that it's actually more productive than I imagined,” he says.“We've harvested 35 kilos of potatoes from a square meter.”He hopes the example will offer a blueprint to future homes and an alternative to current food system, which is to blame for over a third of the world's greenhouse gas emissions (排放) Creating a circular system could also greatly reduce food waste.“We're the only species that generates waste. In nature, there is no waste; everything becomes a food source for something else,”says Bakker. “If we transform to a circular system, we have much potential to stop the destruction of wilderness and forest.”27. What does paragraph 3 focus on?A. The way the greenhouse building works.B. The future of the greenhouse building.C. The advantages of the greenhouse building.D. The reason for designing the greenhouse building.28. What do we learn about the greenhouse home?A. It is possessed by the designer Bakker.B. It is a perfect habitat for all insects.C. It can provide a good supply of produce.D. Plant growing is free of soil in the house.29. Why are the chefs mentioned in paragraph 4?A. To introduce the concept of the house.B. To illustrate the advantage of the house.C. To demonstrate the future modern home.D. To inform people of the latest restaurant.30. What can be inferred according to Bakker?A. People have to explore nature more.B. Human relies heavily on the environment.C. The greenhouse helps reduce reliance on nature.D. The greenhouse is a way to reduce waste.DHow to Pick a Great Book to ReadThe world is full of great books, just waiting to be read. How can you pick one you’ll really like? Here are some tips:What makes you happy?31 Are you really into dinosaurs or dogs or a specific person? Are there a few careers you're interested in? You can find books about almost anything you like, and you're more likely to enjoy reading a book if you're already interested in its subject.Fact or fiction?Some books are entirely made up and imagined. Those are called fiction books. Novels, short stories are all examples of fiction. These books can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience.Non-fiction books give you the who, what, when and why. 32 Non-fiction books can bring everything to life from the first trip to the moon to what it's like to explore the deepest oceans. Try both fiction and non-fiction books to see which you like better.Find a family favorite.What was your mother's favorite book when she was your age? Or your dad's? 33 Then you can talk about what they liked about it and share your thoughts. It's a fun way to get to know your family a little better, and to find a book you'll enjoy!34Your local library is a great place to find books that you’ll love, and you don't have to search all by yourself.Tell a librarian about your interests --- rock stars, sports teams, historical events, whatever you're into --- and the names of some books you already like. Your librarian can help you find other books that you're sure to love.Launch a book trade.35 It's always fun to see what your friends are reading. Even if they're not exactly bookworms, you can all encourage each other to read and share books and authors you like. You also can look for book trades in your area. It's a great way to build your personal library for free!A. Ask an expert.B. Ask them and give it a read.C. Many of them read novels from start to finish.D. Why not get some friends together and trade favorite books?E. If you have a favorite hobby, look for books about that activity.F. They tell stories using facts --- but that doesn't mean they're boring.G. Read the passage and decide for yourself whether it seems knowledgeable.第三部分：英语知识运用第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）You can tell a lot about a man by how he treats his dogs.For many years, I enjoyed living with my dogs, Tilly and Chance.

It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world.The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics unearthed. It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century.On the platform, visitors can role-play and "time travel" to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures. The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat mini program."In the digital age, the model of 'culture + technology' has been introduced to promote the development of Chinese culture. The digitalization rate of China's precious cultural relics is over 70%, " according to iResearch.Institutions such as the Palace Museum have also started online digital services of their own.AI technology allows the public to view the interior of the buildings through the Palace Museum's WeChat mini program.The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also encouraged the development and transformation of culture by digital means. The CCTV has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the divine deer, Youyou. It was created based on the image of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals (壁画) ."Digital collections are welcomed among young people, who grow up in the information age. They not only protect the cultural intellectual property (知识产权) but also bring the public closer to China's 'excellent traditional culture'," noted Dunhuang Art Institute.Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy, told Xinhua that more efforts will be made to explore new forms for showing cultural relics and offering the public greater cultural experiences in the future.4．What can we know about the virtual copy of the Mogao Grottoes' Library Cave?A.The Dunhuang Academy developed it secretly.B.Both time-traveling and gaming technologies were used in it.C.It was discovered in the 20th century with more than 60,000 cultural relics.D.People can have access to it through the Wechat mini program of Digital Dunhuang 5．According to iResearch, what has the model "culture+technology" been applied for?A.Showing the latest technologies in China.B.Helping cultural institutions make a profitC.Pushing the development of Chinese culture.D.Encouraging young people to explore Chinese cultural relics.6．How does the author introduce the success of digital collections in Paragraph 7?A.By listing numbers.B.By giving examples.C.By giving definitions.D.By making comparisons.7．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A.China's new way in rebuilding Mogao Grottoes' Library Cave.B.China's interactive digital platform in developing Dunhuang culture.C.China's success in promoting the digitization rate of cultural relics.D.China's latest advances in the development of cultural intellectual property.Research led by an ecologist Bart Hoekstra shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year's Eve.The research studied how many birds take off immediately after the start of the fireworks, at what distance from fireworks this occurs and which species groups mainly react. "Birds take off as a result of an acute flight response due to sudden noise and light. Wealready knew that many water birds react strongly, but now we also see the effect on other birds throughout the Netherlands, "says Bart Hoekstra.Last year, a study discovered that geese are so affected by fireworks that they spend about 10% longer looking for food than normal during at least the next 12 days. They apparently need time to restore their energy to their former condition, after escaping from the fireworks.Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius (半径) of 2.5 km of inhabited areas (居民区) , the effects of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. "Flying requires a lot of energy, so ideally birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter months. Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects ofbirds live there, which are less likely to fly away from disturbance, " says Bart Hoekstra.People who argue for fireworks-free zones in areas where large birds live advise that fireworks should mainly be lit as far away from birds as possible. It would be best for birds if people try to use light shows without sound, such as drone (无人机) shows instead of fireworks.8．How many aspects did the research mainly study?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.9．If geese normally spend 10 days looking for food, how long will they spend after escaping from the fireworks according to the study in Paragraph 3?A.About 11 days.B.About 12 days.C.About 13 days.D.About 14 days.10．What does the underlined word "pronounced" in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Adaptable.B.Noticeable.C.Admirable.D.Avoidable.11．What can be the best title for the passage?A.Anxious in The Air!B.Amazing Fireworks-free Zones!C.Fireworks in The World!D.Birds Throughout The Country!Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó, in the highlands of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye-catching, in deep, varied hues of blues and greens; interspersed with red and yellow to form complex patterns and designs.Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5,000 people, most of them indigenous (土著的) and dependent on agricultural work. As agriculture began to dry up here, decline for the town and poverty for many of its families came. To deal with poverty and stimulate economic growth through tourism, a small but mighty group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.The project was initially to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors, in an effort to change the hillside town into a work of art. "We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community, says the project's executive director Stephany Blanco." A range of designs were created so that families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn prominently by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. As for the designs that would be used, they would also find inspiration in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, Mayan-styled butterflies and the national bird of Guatemala.Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. "At first, the idea of the project left many unsure about participating, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town, "Melissa Whitbeck said. "The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people. It uplifts the people's mood and encourages them to be proud of where they come from."12．What problem did Santa Catarina Palopó face?A.A labor shortage.B. Poor economic conditions.C.A rapid increase in population.D. Outdated agricultural technology.13．What is the project about?A.Building art galleries in Guatemala.B.Creating job opportunities for local artisans.C.Developing local tourism by selling artworks.D.Transforming the town into a cultural destination.14．What is the inspiration of the primary color for the project?A.The nearby lake.B.Mayan-styled butterflies.C.A type of traditional clothing.D.The national bird of Guatemala.15．What is Melissa's attitude towards the project?A.Positive.B.Uncaring.C.Confused.D.Disappointed.二、七选五16．We're getting more used to chatting to our computers and smart phones through all kinds of voice assistants. ①_______ People who can't read or write can send and get information using the spoken web.Some think voice could soon become the main way to interact online.

AOn Sunday morning，after listening to a sermon(布道) about making “A World of Difference”, we stopped at the gas station for a snack and drinks.When we pulled in to the parking lot we noticed a young girl sitting on the road. She was outside in January , in the Midwest, with only a sweatshirt. No coat or gloves. She didn’t look very happy.I approached her and asked if she was okay. She said yes and told me that she had run out of gas down the road, walked to the gas station, and was now waiting for someone to bring her a gas can and a little money so she could get her car running again. By the look on her face I thought she had been waiting for a while.I，hesitantly，asked if we could give her a lift somewhere . I was fearful that she might be worried about our intentions. She graciously(有礼貌地) refused and said she would simply wait.I went inside the gas stati on to pick up the items we had come for, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the young girl sitting outside in the cold and wished I could do something to help her. So I bought a gift certificate for her. With it she could either buy the gasoline she said she needed or she could at least go inside and purchase a drink and some food to keep her warm while she waited for someone to come to get her.She was so surprised when I handed her the gift certificate.Walking away I got the feeling that help didn’t come her way very often. She was very thankful for the gift certificate --- but I thought it did just as much to lift my spirits as it did hers!21. Why did the young girl wait on the road?A. Because she waited for her friends.B. Because her gas had given out and she waited for someone to help her.C. Because she wanted to buy some food.D. Because she wanted to borrow some money.22. Where did the author go on Sunday morning?A: The nursing home. B. The shop. C. The hospital. D. The church.23. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. People often helped the young girl.B. The author regretted having helped the young girl later.C. The young girl seldom helped others.D. People seldom helped the young girl like the author.24. How did the author help her?A. The author bought her a certificate that she needed.B. The author helped her to borrow the gas.C. The author bought her some food and drinks.D. The author bought her a coat.BGood relationships are definitely good sources of happiness in life. We all want happy relationships but if we do not keep that relationship alive，it can also be one of the most distraught things in life. There may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different preferences and points of view as to what is a great relationship. The following are some major key players in making relationships work.It is often said that building good relationships is all about communication. Good communication indeed governs a good relationship-knowing the right thing to say，when to say it，how to say it，and accepting some things that are better left unsaid. I personally think communication must be broadened because relationships involve more decisions to make. From study to work，from money to entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friends that you do not know, communication is essential in these aspects of the relationships.Of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him or her all the time. You and your friends come from different family backgrounds，raised in different environments so there may be disagreements here and there. However, it is important in making relationships work to express disagreements without pushing the relationship to end. Again, good communication and learning to compromise(妥协)at times are essential.As relationships last longer, you may also discover things about you and your friends that you may not have known before. Therefore，supporting each other on both your "hidden selves" can also make a good relationship.Love is an important aspect of building relationships and for me，I always believe that love needs open communication, respect，support and understanding each other in making relationships work.25. The underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 1 probably meansA. upsettingB. surprisingC. funnyD. helpless26. To communicate well with people, you should know thatA. your friends need to have the same backgrounds with youB. compromises are essential at any timeC. a white lie is necessary sometimesD. supporting each other in anything helps build a good relationship27. According to the text，which of the following are important for a good relationship'?a. communicationb. supportc. hidden selvesd. loveA. abdB. acdC. bcdD. abc28. What would be the best title for the text ?A. The importance to express disagreementsB. Forbidden rules in building good relationshipsC. Different opinions on good relationshipsD. Keys to making relationships workCSpeaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain, a new study has found.Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive(认知的)task to another, something that's known to take longer for older adults, said the lead researcher, Brian Gold，a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky.Gold's team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults，knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However，they found older adults speaking two languages were able to switch mental activities faster than those who didn't. The study only looked at lifelong bilinguals(会说两种语言的人)，defined in the study as peoplespeaking a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old.First，Gold and his team asked 30 people，either bilingual or monolingual，to look at a series of colored shapes and respond with the name of each shape by pushing a button. Then，they presented the participants with a similar series of colored shapes and asked them to respond with what colors the shapes were by pushing a button. Finally，they presented participants with a series of colored shapes, but they mixed prompts(提词) for either a shape or a color to test participants' task-switching time.The bilingual people were able to respond faster to the moving prompts. Researchers found bilingual people~not only able to switch tasks faster一they had different brain activities compared with their monolingual peers.Krishna called bilingualism a ”beautiful natural experiment"，because people grow up speaking two languages，and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on what's going on around them.Gold said he grew up in Montreal，where he spoke French at school and English at home，prompting relatives to question whether his French language attention would somehow stop his ability to learn English.“Until recently，learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous，”he said, “Actually, it's beneficial.”29. Krishna called bilingualism a ”beautiful natural experiment" becauseA. people speaking two languages are beautifulB. people speaking two languages are naturalC. people speaking two languages like the experimentD. people grow up, benefiting from speaking two languages30. Gold's relatives were puzzled when he spoke French at school and English at home becauseA. they thought it would affect his progressB. they thought it would be of little help to himC. they were afraid that learning French would affect his English learningD. they thought that French was useless31. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Researchers found bilingual people respond slowly.B. Researchers found bilinguals can slow down the speed of aging on the brain and respond fast.C. Researchers found bilinguals are great.D. Researchers found speaking two languages is very important.32. We can learn from the last paragraph that learning a second language in childhood isA. not beneficial to childrenB. dangerous but beneficial to childrenC. not dangerous but beneficial to childrenD. dangerous to childrenDJanelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, sh e wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss.So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn.We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my own hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.33．It’s learned from Paragraph 2 that______________.A．Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at workB．Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily workC．Jenelle’s boss put doing something on time above appearanceD．Jenelle didn’t care about the neatness of her clothes at all34．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?A．We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing them.B．We are careful enough in daily life.C．We all have done something creative.D．We all have done loads of things like Janelle.35．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph ?A．Be creative.

More than 30percent of animals with a backbone — fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles andmammals — are declining in both range and population, according to the firstcomprehensive analysis of these trends.Around a decade ago, experts feared that a new rangewipeout of species was appearing. Today, most agree that it is underway — butthe new study suggests that the die-out is already growing fast.The loss of biodiversity has recently accelerated.Several species of mammals that were relatively safe one or two decades ago arenow endangered, including cheetahs, lions and giraffes, the study showed.There is no mystery as to why: our own ever-expandingspecies — which has more than doubledin number since 1960 to 7.4 billion — iseating, crowding and polluting its planetary cohabitants out of existence. Bycomparison, there are as few as 20,000 lions left in the wild, less than 7,000cheetahs, 500 to 1,000 giant pandas.The main drivers of wildlife decline are habitat loss,over-consumption, pollution, other species, disease, as well as hunting in thecase of tigers,elephants, rhinos and other large animals prized for their bodyparts.Climate change is thought to become a major threat inthe coming decades, with some animals —most famously polar bears — already indecline due to rising temperatures and changing weather patterns.8.

Loss of living areas.C. Various illnesses.D. Lack of water.11. Howis the future of polar bears?A. Uncertain.B. Hopeful.C. Doubtful.D.Unsatisfying.DWhen your child lies to you, it hurts. As parents, itmakes us angry and we take it personally. We feel like we can never trust ourchild again. Why does lying cause such anger, pain and worry for parents?Parents are understandably very afraid of theirchildren getting hurt and getting into trouble,but they have very littleprotection against these things as they send their kids out into the word. Kidslearn from other kids and from external media, and this makes parents feelunsafe because they can’t control the information and ideas that theirchildren are exposed to.When your kid lies, you start to see him as “sneaky（卑鄙的）”, especially if he continues to lie to you. You feelthat he’s going behind your back. You begin to think that your kids are “bad”.Because, certainly, if lying is bad, liars are bad. It’s just that simple.Parents need to make their kids responsible for lying. But the mistake parentsmake is that they start to blame the kid for lying. It’s considered immoral tolie. But when you look at your kid like he’s a sneak, it’s a slippery slope （滑坡谬误）that starts with “You lie” and ends up at “You’re abad person”.Kids know lying is forbidden. But they don’t see it ashurtful. So a kid will say, “I know it’s wrong that l eat a sugar snack whenI’m not supposed to. But who does it hurt?” “I know it’s wrong that I trade mydried fruit for a Twinkie. But it doesn’t really hurt anybody. I can handle it.What’s the big deal?” That’s what the kid sees.So I think that parents have to assume that kids aregoing to tell them lies, because they’re immature and they don’t understand howhurtful these things are. The y’re all drawn to excitement, and they’ll allhavea tendency to distort（歪曲）the truth because they’re kids.12. Why do parents worry about their kidsand feel unsafe?A. Nobody trusts their kidsin the world because of lying.B. Lying always causes theirkids to get hurt or get into trouble.C. Their kids are exposed tooutside world without their control.D. They can’t protect theirkids from other kids and external media.13. What’sthe author’s attitude towards parents’ seeing kids as bad if they lie?A. Immoral.B.Negative.C. Supportive.D. Different.14. Theunderlined word “they” really refers to________.A. parentsB.their childrenC. other kidsD. badthings15. Howdo parents react to kids’ lying?A. Taking no notice of itB. Blaming them immediately.C. Pretending to be angryand educate them.D. Accept it but make themresponsible for 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。

The text probably comes from .A. a guide bookB. a popular magazineC. a book reviewD. an official document【答案】21.D22.C23.C24.BBAt thirteen, I was diagnosed〔诊断〕with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems.I might not be able to do it.〞She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.〞I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots〔点〕, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind〞 in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted〞 students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A〞on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See whatyou can do when you keep trying?〞25. The author didn’t finish the reading in classbecause .A. He was new to the classB.

What is the main idea of the passage?A. The disabled should be treated with respect.B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.D. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.【答案】25.C26.A 27.D28.D考点：日常生活类阅读CIt is well known that the Japanese people’s love of fish is almost as a bee’s interest in honey. As fish populations were decreasing, fishing companies were forced to fish further and further away from the shore. Then they had a big challenge(挑战)－how to keep the fish fresh for longer. So they decided to keep the fish stored in freezers on the boats. But the public did not like frozen fish. So again the fishing companies had a new bigger challenge. What they decided to do was to have fish tanks on their boats. After catching fishes, they would put them in the tanks and keep them living there until they got back to shore.But in this protected environment, lacking predators (掠食者)，the fish stopped moving around. The Japanese public felt these dull fish did not taste fresh, which had an unpleasant effect upon sales. Once again the fishing companies had an even bigger challenge.Stop for a minute! Before we go any further, I would like to ask “What are your challenges? How do you handle an unexpected challenge?〞 May I think it this way that you should try to attack your challenges? Conquer 〔战胜〕 them with a Swiss Army knife. Take the most proper and simple tool that you can adopt to deal with your situation.Now back to our story. How did the Japanese finally figure out the fresh fish problem？Sharks! You might think the same. Sharks were caught and put into the tanks with other fishes. Don’t sharks eat fish? Well, they do eat a few fish, but they did also keep more fish active and alert (警觉的). The fish stay fresh because they are challenged.Now, try to keep yourself fresh by finding your own shark to offer yourself a challenge in your own business and career.29. The main reason for the fishing company to fish in the far sea was that .A. the fishes farther away from the sea tasted fresherB. the fish resource near the shore was on the decreaseC. people would prefer eating fresh fishes to less fresh onesD. it was getting harder and harder to keep fishes fresh 30. Which of the following statements is true?A. The fish kept in tanks didn’t sell well because of their taste.B. Japanese people love honey as much as a bee does.C. The fish stored in the protected environment tasted the best.D. The fish kept in tanks didn’t taste fresh because they died before reaching the restaurant.31. The underlined part of the last paragraph means “ .〞A. Sharks are usually compared to the challenges in people’s lifeB. Try to find a big shark and you will meet your challengeC. If you went fishing, you might do as the fishing companies didD. To succeed in life, you should always be ready to meet challenges 【答案】29.B30.A31.D【解析】试题分析: 本文通过人解决被打捞的鱼鲜的问题，告诉我们生活中，要想就要不断接受挑战。
