Before realizing what happened, she was presented a bunch of flowers by two pupils and led to the playground. Then the lovi ng words “Thank you. Wish you health and peace!” from the b roadcast wafted (飘荡) over the playground. As she stood in the middle of the pla yground, teachers switched on an iPod and around 350 sch oolchildren, aged three to seven, broke into a specially design ed formation. The teacher was moved to tears when pupils br oke into a flash mob dance to mark her final day after 25 year s.In fact, taking her health into account, the leadership of the sc hool has advised Mrs. Gabica to retire from school many time s, but she refused firmly. Despite having diabetes in 2011, suf fering from pain after being hit by a car in 2014 and evenhaving a sick son to care for many years, Mrs. Gabica persev ered in teaching and staying with her pupils. If she did not co me to the age for retirement, she would be bound to stay with her pupils because she has a deep love for her career. Her pupils spent three weeks learning their routine to The Lion King’s He Lives in You, which was one of the music lover ’s favorites, being careful not to let their secret out of the bag. Obviously, Mrs. Gabica wasn’t prepared for such a memorabl e send-off.The headteacher Luke Mansfield said,“It was a wonderful way to celebrate all that Mrs. Gabica has done for the school. Since posting i t we have had so many messages from former pupils who re member their happy times in her class.

Its impressive permanent collection is ho me to over two million works, divided among seventeen speci alized departments. It is among the most visited art museums in the world. The main building is one of the world’s largest art galleries. On March 18, 2016, the museum opened the Met B reuer Museum, greatly enriching the museum's modern and u p-to-date art program.The Mot’s permanent collection consists of works of art from c lassical antiques to ancient Egyptian artifacts (史前古器物), paintings and sculptures from all but a few of the Europea n masters. It also has an outstanding collection of American a nd modern art and proudly houses extensive holdings of Afric an, Asian, Oceanic, Indian and Islamic art. Visitors can also fi nd large collections of musical instruments and costumes, as well as antique weapons from around the globe.The Metropolitan Museum of Art was found in 1870. It is the r esult of a project between businessmen, financier and influent ial thinkers of the day. They all shared the same passion of bri nging art and art education to the American people. That drea m became a reality when the museum opened its doors on Fe bruary 20. 1872.29.In what way is the Met special ?A. Its collection.B. Its building.C. Its location.D. Its name.30.

Wounded soldiers have a better c hance of survival if they get help soon after being hurt and are quickly taken to a hospital or clinic. But soldiers who do not h ave medical training may not know how to help their injured fri ends.Doctors and engineers have developed what they call an “inte lligent backpack”. It has a computer and electronic measuring devices. The backpack also has robotic instruments and medi cines ready to give to injured troops.About 16 doctors and engineers from the University of Pittsbu rgh, Carnegie Mellon University and several other places are working on the project. The U. S. Department of Defense has given money to the project.Ron Poropatich leads the project. He is a retired army surgeo n. He says the backpack will help soldiers care for those who are injured. The devices included in the backpack can monitor a person’s heart rate and blood pressure. The robotic instrum ents can even tell whether the soldier has a collapsed lung. The intelligent backpack’s computer can compare information gathered about the injured soldier with thousands of similar ca ses, and quickly tell the best methods to use to save the soldi er’s life.Sometimes, it is not always possible to quickly remove the inj ured soldier from the battlefield. So, Dr. Poropatich says, the r esearchers hope to create a backpack that will have devices t hat can keep a soldier alive for a long time. Dr. Poropatich ho pes the backpack and its instruments will be ready for testing animals in about three years.32. We can learn from paragraph 1 _________.A.

Researchers and Their Wonderful Discovery.(二) 七选五 (本节共5小题,每题2分,共计10分)How to Protect Yourself from Hackers OnlineAn increase in cyber-attacks (网络攻击) makes the Internet seem like a scary place these days. H ow can individuals protect or make it more difficult for hackers to access their information? Here are several tips that can hel p you protect against cyber-attacks:Make your password harder to hack.Hard passwords include upper and lower case letters, number s and special characters. 36 They should also not spell out words easy for hackers to find, like your pet’s name or the na me of a family member.Change your password regularly.A very common mistake made by users is to create one hard password, but then never change it. Remembering a long list of complicated passwords can be difficult. But no password is unbreakable. 37 A password management service, like Dash lane or PasswordBox, can help you keep track of hard passw ords. These services permit users to easily store and secure t heir passwords.Clear your browser (浏览器) history.This goes for all the devices you use in a day – your home co mputer, your work computer, or your friend’s iPad. Internet br owsers like Firefox or Chrome keep track of where you’ve bee n and what you've done online. 38 . Information about what you sent from or saved on your computer can be kept for day s or weeks. It is very easy for anyone who sees that informati on to steal a detailed record of your online activities.39An increasing number of public places now offer free wireless access to the Internet. Often, a user does not need a passwor d to connect to these wireless networks. These services might be u seful, but they're also an easy way for hackers to access ever ything on your device.Use anti-virus protection.There are many anti-virus services available for users. 40 Some anti-virus services are even free. They are a great way to have a p rofessional help keeping users one step ahead of hackers. A. Hackers are better able to hack multiple accounts if those a ccounts all have the same password.B. Be careful while using thumb drive.C. They keep records of every site you visited.D. Do not use free Wi-Fi.E. They can offer many different typesof computer protection.F.

ALast year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along my iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed(推特简讯). I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vac ation, but my head wasn’t.So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration . I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely breaking away from e-mail and Twitter, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. ―I don’t need it,‖ I said.However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work? I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed .I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.1. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.C. He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation.D. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.2. When back at work, the author will probably choose to ________.A. keep control of when and how to use the InternetB. continue to read more and more booksC. stay away from the Internet for everD. stop checking what is being said right now completely3. What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage?A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued.C. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.D. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to.BTrip to Alaska National ParksThis four-day train trip, which traverses both Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks, allows for true appreciation of Alaska’s natural beauty. The route takes in peaks and forests, including a stop at the foot of 20,320-foot-high Mount McKinley, North America’s tallest mountain. Though the train has comfortable seating and a luxurious dining car, nights are spent at off-train lodging like the Grande Denali Lodge.India Tour, Maharajas’ ExpressMaharajas’ Express is the most luxurious train in the world. Started in 2010, and limited to 88 passengers on each trip, the train features luxurious private suites with marble baths and panoramic (全景)windows. On the five-day, four-night trip, which starts and ends in Delhi, passengers make stops to visit the splendid Taj Mahal at Agra, take a tiger safari at Ranthambore National Park, and shop and watch an elephant-polo match in Jaipur.Tales of Laos Tour, Eastern & Oriental ExpressThe sister train to Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient-Express, the Eastern & Oriental Express offers the same level of service and comfort. What’s completely different about the Eastern, of course, is the scenery that passengers can see through the train’s large windows.Among the attractive sights on the four-day, three-night Tales of Laos Tour are green rice paddies(水稻梯田)and locals riding elephants.Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route, Hiram BinghamThe Hiram Bingham, a train operating in Peru, leads guests on a magical day trip from Cuzco to the ruins of Machu Picchu. During the three-hour trip —which covers about 50 miles —the train winds through the thick jungle and across two high mountains. Once it arrives at the city of Machu Picchu, passengers get a five-hour tour through the fascinating site before heading back to Cuzco.4.

Studies have shown that students are more successful when they sleep after studying–instead of pulling all-nighters–because the brain reviews information learned. Similarly, dreaming is an opportunity to work out emotional problems and form thoughts and memories. About 25 percent of the time spent sleeping is spent in rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep. This type of sleep is known for when dreams occur, but it also helps energize the brain and body.Researchers have found two important factors regarding humans and sleep: basic sleep need and sleep debt. Basicsleep need is the amount of sleep we need to have regularly to perform at our best. Sleep debt is the loss of sleep. A few studies say that most adults function best with a basic sleep need of seven to eight hours a night. The problem is that sleep debt also factors in, just because that you meet your basic sleep needs a few nights of the week doesn’t mean it cancels out the effects of one night’s sleep debt.Of course, everyone is different and some people require more or less sleep than the standard basic sleep need. But the real problem lies in what lack of sleep does over the long period to people who either does not meet his or her body’s needs or for one reason or another doesn’t get enough regular sleep. It is more possible for these people to have motor vehicle accidents, weight gain and risk for heart disease or diabetes (糖尿病) and may be at increased risk for psychological conditions such as depression or drug abuse. Sleeping too long also can be associated with depression and poor health.12. Most people spent around ______ of the sleeping time in REM sleep?A. One third of the timeB. More than half of the timeC. One fourth of the timeD. More than 5 hours every day13. Which of the following is NOT the result for lack of sleep according to the passage?A. Car accidents.B. Putting on weight.C. Heart problems.D. Review learning things.14. The best title for the passage is ______.A. Why We Need SleepB. REMSleep and Basic SleepC. Sleep Causes ProblemsD. How Much Sleep We Need15. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Students will forget what they have learned if they go to sleep immediately after study.B. People may have an idea on how to solve an emotional problem if they have a dream.C. It’s all right to have a night of sleep debt if you fulfill several days of basic sleep need.D. Sleeping as long as you can is considered to be good for your health and performance.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。

Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine?The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker’s family made the world fir st widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.1.

He didn't go to school and couldn't read,although he learned all about the forests,streamsand hunting. He could move silently like an Indian leaving no marks. He loved to live alone in the woods where nothing frightened him.When he grew up, he married and tried to settle down on a farm. Ayear later, however, he wasn't satisfied and decided to go into the unknown western lands, crossing the Appalachian Mountains. When he returned after two years, he became famous for his long journey. He brought valuable animal skins and told stories about the Indians.After this, he chose to keep travelling to unknown places. Once helost to the Indians in battle and was taken away. The Indians liked him and became his friends. Daniel Boone died at the age of 86.

Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men . A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68.Are women's bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women's time are always slower than men's, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16.The first‘Tartan’in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone (荷尔蒙)injections(注射). At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated(复杂的) when there are two separate sexes!11.Women are called the weaker sex because ______ .A.women do as much as menB.people think women are weaker than menC.sport is easier for men than for womenD.in sport the two sexes are always together12.Which of the following is true?A.Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B.Women do not run or swim in races with men.C.

What problems does sport have?A.Some women athletes are actually men.B.Some women athletes are give hormone injections.C.Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D.It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.15. In this passage the author implies that ______A.women are weaker than wen , but fasterB.women are slower than men, but strongerC.men are not always stronger and faster than womenD.men are faster and stronger than women第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Have you ever had a wonderful idea and thought it would make a great invention, but didn’t know what to do next? 16 They will help you make your dreams come true and become a famous inventor.The first thing that you should do is do some research on the Internet to see if anyone else has invented it.

A Films provide more than just entertainment.For many peo ple, watching English films is a way to develop language skills .While watching a film,you are immersed(沉浸在)in the language and can pick up new expressions that you mi ght not find in a textbook.Some difficulties can arise when w atching English films-for example,unfamiliar colloquial language or strong regional accents.Wit h this in mind,here are my tips to help you make progress in English learnin g while enjoying the films.Choose a film genre类型) that you enjoy.If you like action films,watch an action film-for example Indiana Jones.If you prefer comedies,watch a comedy-anything with Hugh Grant in always provides a laugh!It's simple enough,but if you choose something you enjoy watching in your native language,you're more likely to enjoy it in English.Choose something that you are familiar with.It's best to start off with something simple because in this way you have a higher chance of understanding the film.Disney films such as The Lion King,or the more recently released Tangled,are classic examples.Other cartoons such as Up and The L ego Movie are also worth a watch.Ask friends for advicePerhaps you have friends who have already seen English film ?If so ,they may be able to recommend oneIf you need to,use the English subtitlesSubtitles are very helpful for beginners.using subtitles in y our own language is the easiest choice,but for more advanced learners why not consider using Englis h subtitles?This way,you can match the written subtitles to the words spoken on .s creen.It helps you to develop your language further.1. What can we know from the first paragraph ?A . Some expressions from textbooks can be found in Englis h films.B .Unfamiliar spoken language can be neglected when we w atch English films .C. Foreign language films can help us improve our language skills.D Strong regional accents cannot influence the understanding of English films.2. What kind of film will you probably watch if you like Hugh G rant ?A. Action filmsB. Cartoon filmsC. Comedy filmsD. Detective3. One way to get the most out of English films is watching fil ms .A. with a foreignerB. about familiar topicsC. native speakers recommendD. without words o n the screen4. What does the underlined word “subtitles“means in the text ?A. TranslatorsB. Chinese charactersC. English dictionariesD. Words on the screenBWill it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages,from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were give n all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person w orks with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and mil k before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.Opposite to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakf ast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end u p gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.5. During the test, those who were tested were given _______ _.A. no breakfast at allB. very rich breakfastC. little food for breakfastD. different breakfast or none6. The results of the test show that ________.A. breakfast has great effect on work and studiesB. breakfast has little to do with a person s workC. a person will work better if he has a simple breakfastD. those working with brains should have much for breakfast7. The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don’t eat breakfast, you will ________.A. lose weightB. not lose weightC. be healthierD. gain a lot of weight8. According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfa st, ________.A. he will fall illB. he will fail to listen to his teacherC. he will not make progress in his studyD. his mind will work more slowlyCHe is regarded as having one of the brightest minds on the planet. But outstanding astrophysicist(天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to rea d until he was eight years old.In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Ox ford University, where he studied physics, and that only the di agnosis that he might die young from motor neurone(神经元) disease made him concentrate on his work.Professor Hawking said:“My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she wa s definitely brighter than me.” He said that he was unexceptio nal at school and was never further than halfway up his class.“My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers,” he said.“But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein, so presumably they saw signs of s omething better.”But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that galvanized h im into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that r esulted in some of his early breakthroughs. He said,“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, itmakes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”9. What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?A. Patience.B. Knowledge.C. Disease. D. Laziness.10. We can infer that Stephen Hawking was when he was a child and studied in Oxford University.A. cleverB. lazyC. brightD. mean11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Stephen Hawking didn't realize his dreams in physics.B. It was possible for Hawking to face the early death.C. The purpose of the doctor's diagnosis was to encourage hi m to work hard.D. His life might be taken away by long hard work.12. The passage can be taken from a(n) .A. novelB. pictureC. magazineD. advertisementDA young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus. The conductor hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to ma ke more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, pe ople began to talk. “You know this conductor used to be very r ude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior,” said a middle-aged man.“Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the c ompany,” said a second passenger. “That's right,” another lad y said, “I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more p eople could learn from this conductor.”Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said, “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please? Your excellent service must be praised...”Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman’s lap interrupted, “I know his name. I call him Dad.”13.

AWhen the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, she did what comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of a cliff and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds. Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90minute search.Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thoughtshe had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holden if he would like his dog back.A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tregear said.“It was a very lucky dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.It was, as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle”.21.

Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Miracle of the CoastguardB. Surviving a HurricaneC. Dangers in the WildD. Coming Back from the DeadBThe answer to protecting and saving marine(海洋)wildlife can start with cutting back on something Americans use every day---plastic drinking straws(吸管). Actor Adrien Grenier, best known for playing Vincent Chase in 2015 movie Entourage, has launched a campaign to reduce the amount of single-use plastic usage in this country in order to protect and save marine wildlife and the environment. Plastic drinking straws are among many single-use plastic products contributing to the shocking loss of marine life, but they’re a great place to start because they’re something Americans are using by the hundreds of millions without any awareness that they’re so damaging.According to Ecocycle, an international environmental organization, Americans use more than 500 million straws daily, which are enough to fill 127 school buses each day, and they can’t be recycled. Th at means plastic straws end up in landfills or oceans, where fish and other marine wildlife mistake the small bits for food and swallow them. After seeinga photo of a whale beached on the shore with a belly full of plastic, Grenier felt the inspiration to launch the Lonely Whale Foundation, hoping to inspire and educate others on the challenges facing marine life.Along with stopping the use of straws, Grenier hopes to educate consumers on the dangers of other single-use plastic items such as grocery bags and water bottles. While many Americans use these plastic products in their daily life, there are more sustainable alternatives that can help protect the environment. Ecocycle recommends the use of straws made from stainless steel, glass, and even bamboo instead of plastic. You can buy a number of these environmentally friendly straws online and in stores.24.

Music speaks louder than words and it is a “language”that the whole world can understand. A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind. Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal, music has a spiritual effect on a person. Different kinds of music influence people in different ways.I have listened to music an my life. When I was twelve years old, the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up. Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America. Their influence changed the way we dressed, looked, acted and spoke…ev en our culture. The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just three months after the assassination(暗杀)of President John Kennedy,which had put America into a great depression. And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself.Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer. This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it. And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world. Music has a great way of touching people. Music can make you laugh, cry or shout. It's also a great source of inspiration.Try this one day and notice what happens: make yourself a cup of tea, sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs. Close your eyes, and soon you'll find yourself creating vivid mental images-matching the music that you are listening to.27.
