Leam and Experience, YorkshireBChildren often suffer pain and insecurity when their parents separate. When my ex-husband and I split up after 10 years of marriage, our daughter was 5 years old and my son only 3. We decided to consult a psychologist about the best way to explain this new situation to the children. She shared with us this special story about a land turtle and a sea turtle, which we then used to help them better comprehend.Once upon a time，a land turtle ( Mommy) met a sea turtle ( Daddy) close to a beautiful shore. Soon they fell deeply in love and decided to get married. For a time, they continued to live at the water’ s edge so that Mommy could sit on the sand and keep dry and warm, while Daddy sat in the shallow water to keep cool. A few years later two baby turtles arrived ( you both!). They were very special indeed and looked a little like each of their parents.But as the years went by, Daddy sea turtle started spending more and more time in the ocean as he traveled deeper and deeper to look for pearls. Mommy land turtle also started wandering up into the sands to hunt for food in the woods. Little by little, Daddy and Mommy turtle started to drift further and further apart. Finally one day，Mommy and Daddy turtle decided they didn' t want to live together anymore. The little turtles continued to spend time with each of their parents. They made lots of friends with all the fish，dolphins and whales in the ocean and also many friends with the rabbits, deer, and foxes in the woods. In fact they grew up to be a new kind of turtle that could live both in the ocean and on the land.Over the years, this tale of the land and sea turtle has helped my children cope with and accept the fact that my marriage to their father was over. They know that we once loved each other very much and they were bom out of true love.24.

Guinevere Shuster tried her best to show these dogs the way they, d really look if you allowed them into your life. She said, “I’ m always trying to imagine better ways to make the poor animals attractive to the public.

She said, “ It's just me and the dog in the office so they can pay their attention to the photo - taking.I use a lot of treats and some funny noises I’ ve learned to get the dogs’ attention.A fun method is to throw treats at the dogs 一it’ s useful for getting unus ual looks from them."Since starting the project, a number of dogs have been taken home by dog lovers after they saw Guinevere’ s pictures on the Humane Society of Utah’ s Facebook page.

AGood evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Roy, and this is my show. This is a television show for all families, and I know you'll enjoy it.Let's start with a story.Once there was a proud pig on a farm. He thought he was the most important of all the animals on the farm. But it was not enough that he himself thought this. He had to be sure that other animals thought it, too. So he went up to a chicken and asked,"Who is the most important animal on the farm?" The chicken answered, " You are, Mr Pig." Then he asked a dog, and he got the same reply.Next, he asked a cow. When the cow seemed uncertained of the right answer, the pig looked angry, and showed his teeth." Oh, you are, of course, Mr Pig," said the cow. " Of course," the pig said, " there is no doubt about it."At last the pig asked a big horse the same question. The horse lifted one foot, rolled the pig over and placed his foot on the pig's head. "I think you know the answer now," said the horse.1.The Roy show is _____.A. a family show on TVB. for kids onlyC. a sports showD. a style show2.When the pig asked a dog, the dog _____.A.said nothingB. said the pig was the most importantC. laughed a lotD. said the pig was as important as the horse3.The horse thought _____ was the most important on the farm.A.nobodyB. the pigC. the cowD. he himself4.What's the best title of this passage?A. A Pig and a CowB. A FarmC. The Most Important AnimalD. The AnimalsBThere were once two brothers who lived on the 80th floor. On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay（沮丧）that the lifts were not working and they had to climb the stairs to get home. After struggling to the 20th floor, panting and tired, they decided to abandon（放弃） their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags and climbed on.When they struggled to the 40th floor, the younger brother started to grumble and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.They then realized that they had only 20 more floors to climb, and they decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at last. Each stood calmly and waited for the other to open the door. They then realized that the key was in one of their bags, which were left on the 20th floor.This story is a reflection（折射）on our lives. Many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when we are young. We seldom get to do the things that we really love. By the age of 20, we are under so much pressure and stress that we get tired and decide to dump this load（负荷）.Freed from this load, we work enthusiastically（激情地） and have ambitious （有抱负的）dreams. But by the time we reach 40, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We begin to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live miserable lives, as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left to complain about, and we begin to walk the final episode in peace and calmness. We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only the realization that we cannot rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream 一 a dream we abandoned many years ago.5. Where did the two brothers leave their bags?A. On the first floor.B. On the 20th floor.C. On the 40th floor.D. On the 60th floor.6. The two brothers quarreled ________.A.from the 20th floor to the 40th floorB. from the 40th floor to the 60th floorC.from the 60th floor to the 80th floorD. from the first floor to the 80th floor7. In the passage, the author compared our ages to ________.A. floorsB. liftsC. stepsD. bags8. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Don’t Lose Your WayB. Always Take Your KeyC. Don’t Abandon Your DreamD. Hard Work Leads to SuccessC.Welcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people at your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age! You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells(细胞) in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern（样式）. You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your“smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli ,”it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?9. We can learn from the text that in the future__________.A . people will never get oldB. everyone will look the sameC. clothes will be able to change their patternD. red will be the most popular color10. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Milk will be harmful to health.B. More drinks will be given for sale.C. Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.D. Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.11. Which of the following is mentioned in the text?A. Nothing can replace the Internet.B. Fridges will know what people need.C. Jacket sleeves can be used as a guide.D. Cars will be able to drive automatically（自动地）.12. What is the text mainly about?A. Food and clothing in 2035B. Future technology in everyday life.C. Medical treatments of the future.D. The reason for the success of new technology.D.Shopping in the United States changes a lot．About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family．Women went from the bakery to the butcher’s to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week．Then, about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born．In a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores．The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall．A shopping mall is groups of stores under one roof．Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular．The mallbecame a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping．If you walk througha mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee．Malls areplaces for teenagers to hang out．Many teens will often just “go to the mall” andspend time with their friends．The recent change in American shopping was the superstore．Large chain stores suchas Wal-Mart, Off ice Depot and Toys“R”Us have been built all across the United States．Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sellthem much cheaper than smaller stores．Sometimes, when they are built near smalltowns, many of the small town stores have to close．They just cannot compete withtheir giant neighbors．And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over theStates．People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping overthe Internet．Online shopping has lots of advantages．For example, online storesare usually available 24 hours a day．Searching or browsing online shops can be fasterthan browsing the physical stores．While, online shopping also has its disadvantages．People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of thebusinessman than in a physical store．And privacy(私密) of personal information maybe let out．13.

Money was tight that year and Toby’s parents had told him they would not be able to afford a holiday.Instead of dreaming about foreign travel, he had been reading a book, Letter to New Zealand, where the author explains what happ ens in an envelope’s journey from England to the other side of the world. As they neared their house, Toby asked his mum, Sabine, if he could write a letter to New Zealand. After a few more steps, he was struck by an even better idea. “Can I write a letter to every country in the world?”Sabine says she often wonders what would have happened if she had replied differently that day. “It was just one of those typical questions that five-year-old have,” she says. “If he had asked me in the evening when I was tired, I might have refused. But as parents you realize there’s a lot of power in just allowing kids to have a go. Also, it seemed a nice way to do some armchair exploration. So I told him” Let’s see how far you get.”The answer was very far indeed. Toby has since written and posted letters to all 193 UN member states, as well as numerous other bad-conditioned areas with comforting ones.To date he has written 681 letters—the best of which have been selected to appear in a new book called Dear World, How Are You? - although so productive is Toby’ pen that the number will have risen by the time you read this.“Writing these letters has made me realize that the world isn’t actually all that big,” he says with a grin.In the future, part of him would like to be a musical director to turn his beloved Star Wars into a ballet. Of course, he also hopes to travel the globe in person to see some of the countries where his letters have ended up.“We’re so lucky to have this wonderful world, and I hope we can live on planet Earth in peace.”21．Why did Toby want to write letters to other countries?A. He was good at writing.B. He got inspired by a book.C. He was eager to go abroad.D. He wanted others to help his family.22．From Toby’s mother’s words, we know that at first____.A. she got tired of her son’s requestB. she believed her son would succeedC. she thought her son’s idea was of no valueD. she thought she should give her son a try23．What’s the influence of writing letters to Toby?A. He has to put his letters into a book.B. He understands more about the world.C. He becomes productive in writing stories.D. He has traveled to 193 UN number states.24．How can we describe Toby?A. Clever and persistent.B. Brave and strong-willed.C. Ambitious and kind-hearted.D. Hardworking and humorous.BFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part，this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the par ents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, t he teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrel on unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothi ng, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong，for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.25. Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the line.C. Neither has any clear winner.D. Neither can be put to an end.26. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B.

Future of the parent-teen relationshipCHave you ever thought to be a businessman or do you think it is very difficult? Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York, in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be a farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”28. Frank took a short business course in order to ____________.A. get away from the farmB. learn something from a salesmanC. earn more money for his familyD. get enough to eat29. Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because ____________.A. the sign he put on the table was well designedB. he cut down the price by halfC. he had put the goods on a table in a very nice wayD. he knew how to get people to buy his goods30. The price of the knives was cut down by half because _______.A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a dayB. the knives were made in Germany, where labour (劳动力) was cheapC. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factoryD. the knives were produced in one factory31. _____________ make Woolworth a world-famous man.A. The low price of the goods he soldB. His business skills and his wealthC. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knivesD. His natural skill for showing things32. The belief that: “The customer is always right” suggests that ______.A. stores should do their best to meet the customer’s needs if they want to be successfulB. if you want to succeed, the rule is the only wayC. stores must always follow the c ustomer’s orders if they want to make more moneyD. whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shop assistant, the customers are alwaysrightDCancer is a terrible disease. Every year in the UK, more than 330,000 people get cancer, anddoctors usually use a kind of therapy called radiotherapy to treat people. This treatment uses high energy X-rays to destroy the disease, but the effects of treatment can be nearly as bad as the cancer. As the X-rays destroy the cancer cells, they also d amage healthy cells that are next to them. It’s like using a shotgun to kill an insect. When really important parts of a person’s body are hurt by the X-ray energy, it can have very bad results. It can also make more cancer grow in the damaged places in the future.A new therapy that uses protons(质子) instead of X-ray energy could be the answer to the problem. In a project called PRaVDA, scientists from the UK and South Africa are working to this. If X-ray energy is like a shotgun, then protons can work more like a laser. Scientists can make protons travel through someone’s body without hurting them, and only damage the cancer.The PRaVDA scientists use computers to make a 3-D model of the cancer cells to make sure the protons go to the right places. “It’s more accurate,” said Michaela Esposito, PhD, from the University of Lincoln.Building this technology was very difficult, though. Professor Nigel Allinson from the University of Lincoln, the project leader, has put together a team of many different kinds of scientists with different skills. Those skills were all needed to make what he calls “one of the most complex” medical machines ever. It’s also 10 times more expensive than X-ray radiotherapy. Even so, Allinson believes that most cancer treatm ent will be done by protons in the future. “I think it will improve the quality of life of many cancer patients,” he says.33．What point does the first paragraph make?A. Cancer is a really terrible disease.B. Lots of people get cancer every year in the UK.C. Radiotherapy isn’t a perfect way to cure cancer.D. Radiotherapy is a commonly used therapy against cancer.34．According to Professor Allinson, the new therapy .A. will enable cancer patients to enjoy a better lifeB. will cure most cancers in the futureC. will ensure that cancer patients live longerD. will replace radiotherapy completely35． What can be inferred from the text?A. Science and technology are a double-edged sword.B. Not every cancer patient will be able to afford proton therapy.C. Radiotherapy is completely the wrong way to cure cancer.D. The complex medical machine mentioned will soon be put into use.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。

When it comes to writing work emails, there are many rules to follow． In thepast, people always wanted to come across as someone who's calm and professional, which workplace manners experts say means they wanted to hold back their love for emoticons （表情符号）while on the job．But language is always changing, and a recent national survey in the US found that 76 percent of Americans said that they had used emoticons in digital communication at work． The most popular emoticon is the happy face．Lindsey Pollak, a US career coach who works with Millennials（千禧一代）, has also noticed that emoticons have gone from being inappropriate for the workplace to being accepted． The reason behind this, according to her, is largely due to the changing of people in a particular age group of the workforce． Millennials are now the biggest generation in the American workforce．"A few years ago, emoticons were absolutely seen as very young and very personal, " Pollak said．"Over the past few years…I've seen emoticons become more acceptable． I see them more frequently not just from Millennials but from all generations at the workplace．""People tend to use emoticons to just add that little bit of extra change in the tone when there's something awkward or potentially offensive, or when they might take in things in the wrong way, "explains Lauren Collister, a sociolinguist． In life and work, many of us have used emoticons to send positive atmosphere or soften statements．Pollak, however, warns against being too casual at work． Her advice is to be aware of who the audience is．"Frankly, I wouldn't use a happy face with any CEO in the US． I wouldn't use a happy face with the people of a certain level no matter how commonplace and acceptable it has become, "she said．"You can make or break a relationship with one email these days．"（1）What does the author say about past working people？________A They were calm and professional．B They used more seriousemoticons． C They were not fond of emoticons． D They avoided using emoticons at the workplace．．（2）What can people use emoticons to do at the workplace？________A Make it personal to communicate．B Keep up with the trend of thetimes． C Show a positive attitude to the receiver． D Help them share their ideas and feelings．．（3）What can we learn from the last paragraph？________A Emoticons should be used with caution．B There are strict limitations on emoticon using．C All the US CEOs are against the use of emoticons．D Emoticons can greatly help bring people closer．．（4）What's the writer's attitude towards the use of emoticons at work？________A Subjective．B Objective．C Doubtful．D Opposing．3. In my dual profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS． The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life． They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages． Let me tell you about Tyler．Tyler was born infected with HIV and his mother was also infected． From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive． When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest． This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back． Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream． At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing．Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease． It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine﹣laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon． All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him． Tyler's mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in red． That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him．This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler． He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV﹣infected mother． When it became apparent that he wasn't going to survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about death． She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven．A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, "I might die soon． I'm not scared． When I die, please dress me in red． Mom promisedshe's coming to heaven, too． I'll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me．"（1）Which of the following is true about Tyler's condition？________A He took daily medication that he didn't need to take and could live without it．B His backpack was filled with medication that was connected to hisbloodstream． C Although he needed medication， he was able to do things like breathing normally． D Though he was connected to a backpack， he still needed to take other medication．．（2）What was it uncommon to see Tyler doing？________A Getting upset about his condition and not playing．B Running around as fast as he could and playing．C Dragging his backpack of medicine aroundeverywhere． D Being full of life， energy and happiness．．（3）Why was the color red significant in Tyler's mind？________A Because it was his mother's favorite color．B Because all of his favorite clothing was red．C Because the clothes his mother had bought him were all red．D Because his mother though it could help her find him if he dressed in red．．（4）What is the main message the author wants to convey in this passage？________A Even if you are ill， you can still handle day﹣to﹣day things．B Children are gifts in our lives and give us inspiration．C Kids with serious diseases shouldn't be informed of how ill they are．D We shouldn't let diseases， even deadly ones， take away the ability to enjoy life．4. I cherish being around people who are totally comfortable with who they are．There always seems to be an aura （光环） of love and acceptance that follows these people around．I think it is because they have figured out one of the biggest secrets to life: the chance of being loved and accepted grows so much when we can truly say we couldn't be more comfortable with ourselves．People like being round those who are comfortable with themselves because they are less threatening．We all feel the need to protect ourselves from threats aimed at our insecurities．Insecurities are like open wounds and it hurts when people poke（捅；戳） at ________．It can be exhausting to hang around people who constantly poke at us just to get some kind of external（外界的）recognition through making everyone else feel smaller．My favorite thing about people who are comfortable with themselves is that they need no external recognition．They have discovered their worth is, by nature, something that cannot be taken away or added to according to what other people think．Ironically （讽刺地）enough, this ends up providing comfortable people with more external recognition than those who feel they need it most．Because comfortable people's worth comes from within, they see no point in tearing others down．To them, the only sensible way to speak about another is to be positive．I guess when you realize your worth comes from within, you might as well build others up rather than tear them down, since their size is of no threat to your sense of self﹣worth．Plus, it is a lot more fun to speak love to others and watch their eyes light up than it is to hurt someone's feelings for a cheap laugh, anyway．When we become comfortable with ourselves through fully accepting who we are, we can silence the noise our insecurities make in public situations and enjoy the wonderful reality before us．The result is a world with fewer insecurities． To me, that sounds like a better world．（1）Which of the following sayings best express the main idea of the passage？________A Actions speak louder than words．B No pains，no gains．C Luck favors those who are comfortable with who they are．D Don't pretend to know what you don't know．．（2）What does the underlined word"them"in Paragraph 2probably mean？________A Insecurities．B Open wounds．C People who are comfortable with themselves．D Threats．．（3）The reasons why the author loves with people who are comfortable with themselves are the following except that________．A there will be an aura of love and acceptance that follows these people aroundB they are less threateningC they always have a positive attitude toward othersD theauthor needs external recognition．（4）What is the purpose of writing this passage？________A To give a description of people who are comfortable with themselves．B To ask people to make friends with people who are comfortable with themselves．C To offer some advice on how to be persons who are comfortable with themselves．D To appealto people to be comfortable with themselves so that we can live in a better world．一、第二节（共1小题；每小题10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．选项中有两项为多余选项．5. Read a bookWe all have the experience of trying not to fall asleep in class while the teacher constantly speaks in a dull way． Reading a book before going to b ed can give the same effect． As long as your reading material isn't too thrilling （e．g． non﹣fiction）， reading relaxes you and lets your body's natural tiredness take over．（1）_______Old﹣fashioned books and akindle （minus the back﹣lighting） are the ways to go．A． Just remember： devices， like phones or tablets， send out light that keeps you awake．B． Unfortunately， even a little light can interrupt the production of melatonin．C． If you want to learn to fall asleep much faster， there are tricks and skills you can learn．D． Maybe you like working on your laptop or watching TV while lying in your comfortable bed．E． Not only does this deeply relax your body， but won't make you focus on anything else．F． Writing in a journal allows you to get those thoughts out earlier， so your mind canrelax and let you go to sleep．G． Mindful breathing and progressive relaxation make a great combination．一、二英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节：完型填空（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）6.
