While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stoppedthere and Buddha told one of his followers, “I am thirsty. Please get me some water fromthat lake there”．The follower walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people werewashing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossingthe lake right at the edge of it. As a result, the water became very muddy, very dirty. Thefollower thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?!” So he cameback and told the Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit todrink”．So, the Buddha said, let us take a little rest here by the tree. After about half an hour,again Buddha asked the same follower to go back to the lake and get him some water todrink. The follower obediently (顺从地) went back to the lake. This time he found that thelake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above itlooked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to the Buddha.The Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the follower and said, “See, you let the water be and the mud settled down on its own. You got clear water. It didn’t requ any effort”．Our mind is also like that. When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time and it willsettle down on its own. You don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. We can judgeand best decisions of our life when we stay calm.4. Why did Buddha asked his follower to collect water?A.

Recent films accused of whitewashing include the Hollywood remake ofJapanese anime Ghost in the Shell, which had Scarlett Johansson in the main role whichwas originally Japanese, and Chinese epic The Great Wall which starred Matt Damon asits lead character. Earlier this year, British actor Ed Skrein who was cast as an Asiancharacter in the upcoming Hellboy remake pulled out of the film so that the role could be“cast appropriately”. It then went to Korean-American actor Daniel Dae Kim.The live-action adaptation of the 1998 cartoon movie will tell the tale of the well-knownChinese heroine Hua Mulan. Mulan pretended to be a man to fight in the army to spareher weak father from being forced into the army.The film has been under careful examination since it was announced that Disneyintended to remake Mulan. An online campaign calling for an Asian actress in the roleattracted more than 100,000 signatures before it was shut on Thursday.for her delicate looks and previous roles in fantasy dramas,Liu, nicknamed “Fairy Sister” is well-known as an actress, model and singer in China. The 30-year-old is said to befluent in English, having grown up partly in New York. The Hollywood Reporter said shewas picked out of nearly 1,000 candidates for the film.Disney’s announcement on its blog about Liu’s casting was met with delight on Twitter aswell as on Sina Weibo, China’s microblogging network. Many online celebrated it as a winfor diversity in Disney films. Chinese-American actress Ming-Na Wen, who voiced Mulanin the original animated movie, also gave her stamp of approval. Chinese netizenscongratulated Liu, with many praising Disney’s choice. One commenter said, “Needs to know martial arts, can also speak English, has star quality - it definitely should be LiuYifei.”8.

Which section of a website is the text from?A. Education.B. Science.C. Entertainment.D. Business.DA research has shown that nearly 90 percent of traffic accidents are caused by humanerrors. So our aim is a fully autonomous car that gets rid of the cause of most accidents:the driver. Researcher Hodgson points out, “For safety, the faster you can removehumans, the better, even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes. It sa question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with thepeople whose lives are potentially saved.”It’s an idea that Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car company Tesla Motors, has longbelieved. His company is determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicleto consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla’s 2017 goal was “to do an exampledrive of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York…and have the car park itself.”However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome—the software needsfurther validation and the appropriate regulatory approval needs to be in place. Indeed,recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn’t ready yet. The UK government appears committed to encouraging the development of autonomousvehicles. It’s supporting four city trials, publishing the Modem Transport Bill to reducered tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take into accountpr oblems such as insurance liability when a human isn’t in control of a vehicle.The insurance industry is similarly eager to help increase autonomy in cars. As theAssociation of British Insurers (ABI) points out, “More than 90 per cent of road accidentsar e caused by human error.” This costs motor insurers a shocking ￡20m per day inclaims.12. What difficulty does the company Tesla Motors have?A. New inventions may cause more injuries and deaths.B. The company lacks confidence to make new creations.C. The software should be made officially acceptable.D. The traffic regulation has proved unreasonable.13. What is the UK government’s attitude to autonomous cars?A. Ambiguous.B. Positive.C. Cautious.D. Disapproving.14. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Insurance companies would like to support autonomous cars.B. Human mistakes may be the key cause of traffic accidents.C. Traffic accidents wastes insurance companies quite a lot.D. Motorists are surprised to hear about autonomous cars.15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To show his deep love for autonomous cars.B. To introduce a new development in technology.C. To amuse readers with funny examples.D. To provide a persuasive argument against autonomy.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。

He ran to tell the local governor excitedly,and together they walked into the jungle. There they found Tikal,the city that the Mayans had built,many hundreds of years before.The two men saw pyramids,squares and houses.For a long time before that day,local people had known that somewhere in the jungle there was an old Mayan city.But no one had seen it for centuries.Between 200and900AD,the city of Tikal had ben the centre of Mayan civilisation in thearea,but then the Mayas let it—nobody knows why!After1000AD,the jungle began to cover it.And then people forgot that it was there.Seven years before Tut found Tikal,two British explorers had gone to Guatemala and had written a report about Mayan treasures in the jungle—but they hadn’t mentioned Tikal.Even earlier than this,local Indians had told people about a great city hidden in the trees,but no one had listened to them.So they lost the chance to find the treasure.Now the lost city had been found again,and people went there immediately to see it.21.Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?A.Tut found the Tikal city by accident.B.Mayans lived in Tikal over1,000years.C.Two British explorers found many treasures there.D.Local Indians knew nothing about the Tikal city.22.What does the underlined word“this”in the first paragraph refer to?A.Climbing the trees.B.Looking for gum.C.Going into the jungle.D.Looking for treasures.23.What could be the best title of this passage?A.The Man Who Found Tikal.B.The Greatest Discovery in the World.C.A City in the Jungle.D.The Secret of Tikal City.BAtlantic puffins（角嘴海雀）are specially used to living on the open sea.Their feathers allow them to stay warm as they float at the ocean’s surface or swim underwater.Diving as deep as60m,they swim by flapping their wings as if flying through the water.There,they hunt herring,capelin,and sand eels.Atlantic puffins are also excellent fliers.Flapping their wings at up to400 beats per minute,puffins can reach speeds of88km/h.April to mid-August is the breeding season for puffins.When a puffin is around three to five years old,it will choose a partner at sea to mate with for life.It is thought that the birds’colourful bills and feet,which fade in the winter andbrighten in the spring,help puffins find their potential（可能的）mates.Puffins create shelter（庇护所）,about90cm,in rocky cliffs either in the soil or between rocks.Often,couples will return to the same shelter year after year. At the back of the shelter,they build a nest lined with grasses,seaweed,and feathers. After the female lays a single egg,both parents take turns incubating（孵化）the egg for about40days.Once the chick hatches,the mother and father will take turns bringing it fish to eat several times a day.Atlantic puffins have the ability to carry several fish in their beaks at one time.The ridges（脊）at the top of their bill hold the fish in place,which allows puffins to keep their mouth open to catch more fish without losing any.In general,they can hold around ten fish in their beak at one time.In the wild,puffins can live around20years.Their main predator is the great black-backed gull,which can capture a puffin mid-flight or attack a puffin on the ground.Gulls are also a threat because they steal puffins’fish(sometimes right from their mouths),and they pull puffin chicks or eggs from their nests.24.The first paragraph stresses puffins’unusual ability as a________.A.swimmer.B.flier.C.singer.D. dancer.25.What can we learn about puffins from the passage?A.They are too heavy to fly high in the air.B.They attract their mates with bright colours.C.They spend most of their time in rocky cliffs.D.They change their partners from time to time.26.We can infer from Para.4that puffins would________.ually have a large family.B.have a strong sense of family.C.change their breeding places every year.ually have their nests built near forests.27.Without the ridges at the top of their bill,puffins would________.A.dive deeper underwater.B.catch only small fishunderwater.C.not catch as much fish at a time.D.not carry their food over long distances.CThe idea of spending a year away from home is something that attracts nearly everyone.So why is taking a gap year still considered the wild card（百搭牌）?Choosing to take a year out can help you gain valuable experience as well as give you the opportunity to save up some funds to help you with accommodations when you go to university.For a teenage student,the prospect of providing for yourself,miles away from home,can be discouraging.But with an increasing number of gap year companies providing travel and trips abroad to suit any need,it is becoming easier to tailor a dream trip.You can also find gap year companies that cover everything from internships（实习）abroad to paid work and volunteering.Such companies offer ideas and inspiration to kick-start your travelling dream.But gap years don’t have to be all about travel.You can have a beneficial year out of education and stay right where you are.Stephanie Wood wants to be a mental health nurse,but with related health courses being some of the most exclusive and competitive around,she is taking a year off from education in order to gain an edge through work experience:“My plan is to get a job that directly relates to my course for the next few months.Working there over a stretch of time will both give me an impression and insight into the working world of nursing—knowledge to help me through university when I choose to go.”Gap years aren’t for everyone.Readjusting to an academic timetable after spending time abroad can be a shock.You also need to consider the practicalities, from financing your gap year to surviving without home comforts.28.What’s the purpose of the passage?A.Making an advertisement for gap year companies.B.Giving students some advice about taking a year out.C.Encouraging students to spend a year away from home.D.Explaining the reasons students choose to take a gap year.29.What’s the benefit of taking a gap year according to the passage?A.Helping you make more friends.B.Enriching your own experiences.C.Being admitted to a university easily.D.Guaranteeing that you will have a better job.30.Why does the author mention Stephanie Wood?A.To stress the necessity of taking a gap year.B.To prove gap years can be spent everywhere.C.To make clear the advantage of gap yearD.To show another way of taking a gap year.31.In which section of a newspaper can we find this passage?cation.B.TravelC.Lifestyle.D. Culture.DMany people expect that they can learn a language fast.But learning a language well requires time and determination.I came to Finland four years ago.I realized soon that if I wanted to become part of the Finnish society and befriend the Finns,I would need to learn their language. My roommate,who was a Finn,was very helpful,repeating words and talking slowly to me,but of course he was not a professional teacher.So I had to be a self-learner.I carried a notebook and wrote down every Finnish word I heard.I took online courses, watched learning videos and went through all the study material I got my hands on. Luckily there are many chances to do that for free nowadays.For me,as for many other people,the most difficult phase in learning a language is to start speaking it.You have to overcome your own barriers,especially the fear of making mistakes.After staying three months in Finland I found a language cafe,which was a meeting point for Finnish language learners.As a beginner,I only knew how to introduce myselfin Finnish,but here were many people to help me.It was also a relief to notice that I was not the only one struggling with the language.I want to stay in Finland and I would like to build my life here.This is why I have also worked hard to write Finnish well.I have studied Finnish even harder after I got into the University of Helsinki to study international politics.Now I am finishing my studies and I am looking for a ob where I can take advantage of my Finnish skills.Although it is difficult to get a professional ob here,I m not ready to give up yet.Finnish makes me feel modest as there is still much to learn.So far,all the work I have done has paid off.I feel that I am now closer to the Finns.32.What is the most difficult stage for the author learning Finnish?A.To write it well.B.To master its grammar.C.To start speaking it.D.To write down its words.33.What does the author think of his/her roommate?A.Patient and helpful.B.Slow in talking.C.Ordinary and modest.D.Not good at teaching.34.What does the author mean by saying“I am now closer to the Finns”in the last paragraph?A.The author has been in Finland for four years.B.The author is finishing studies and looking for a job.C.The author wants to stay and build life in Finland.D.The author has made great progress in Finnish learning.35.What can we infer from the passage?A.Learning a language well requires time and determination.B.The author may realize his/her dream finally.C.The author can’t find a job at all.D.Finnish is an easy language to learn.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内春，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
