并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AResorts of every kind have sprung up to cater to the Englishman^ need to spend a part of the year, however briefly, by the seaside. No town in Britain is more than eighty miles from the sea and there are seaside resorts all round the coast. On a summer Sunday most of the roads that lead to the sea axe congested with cars full of people eager to get a breath of sea air. In the evening when everyone is full of food, ice-cream and lollipops, there is the long slow drive home on roads crowded with returning cars.BritonBrighton is one of the best-known south coast resorts and is very popular for day trip excursions. It is only fifty miles from London and can be reached by fast train in an hour. At theweekend the pebbled beaches are thronged with people sunbathing or picking their way to the water’s edge for a dip.BournemouthLocated a hundred miles from London, the beaches are wide and sandy. White houses line the cliff tops and narrow valleys, densely wooded with pine trees, reach down to the shore. The area near to the town of Torquay on the Devon coast is sometimes called the English Riviera and the climate is so mild that palm trees grow along the seafront.BlackpoolOn the north-west coast, a popular resort for the people in the industrial north, Blackpool is a gay, noisy town, famous for its amusement facilities and the magical lights. At night people travel from miles around to see the extravaganza（盛大表演）of lights decorating the sea front.SouthendOn the east coast at the mouth of the Thames, Southend is, like Brighton, one of the favorite resorts of Londoners. The pier here is the longest in Britain and offers a great variety of differing entertainments.21. Why do people often have a long slow drive home on roads in summer?A. Because it is extremely far from the sea.B. Because people are full of food, ice-cream and lollipops.C. Because too many returning cars often make a traffic jam.D.

People crowded into the water’s edge at Briton for a quick swim.D. Southend is a better preferred resort than Briton by London locals.BOne night I received a Facebook message from Laura, a former classmate. “Hey Steve,” she said, “I know you’ve always been an animal lover. I’ve just had a baby and I can’t keep my mini pig.”Being fond of animals, I knew I wanted the pig. I just had to figure out how to make it happen. I lived in a two-bedroom single-level house in Georgetwon, Ontario. It’s tough to bring a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats, and my lifelong partner.But I was not letting that pig go. So I told Laura I’d take the animal. When I got home with the pig, I hid her in the bedroom, and began to prepare a dinner for Alisha —her favourite bacon cheeseburgers. It’s better to make her happy before introducing the new member to her.When I led her to the bedroom and showed her the surprise, Alisha stood in the doorway like a statue. It took her a few seconds to know what I had done. She complained about my unreasonable action. She insisted there was no more room in the house.I knew I was wrong, but I hoped I could smooth things over. Soon enough, the lovely pig did the smoothing for me. Never had we felt such joy as she brought to us. We got her a name “Esther”.Esther’s arrival changed our lives. A few weeks later, we decided to stop eating bacon. Wefigured it was our turn to try to change the world for other animals. A few months later, we moved to a farm where we cared for abandoned animals — so far, six rabbits, six goats, two sheep, one horse, three cows and three chickens.24. Who does the underlined phrase “my lifelong partner” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Laura.B. Steve.C. Alisha.D. Esther.25. Why did the author cook Alisha a meal?A. To please her to accept the pig.B. To make an apology to her.C. To celebrate Esther’s arrival.D. To show off his cooking skills.26. What was Alisha’s reaction the moment she saw Esther?A. She burst into tears.B. She showed interest in her.C. She quarreled with Steve.D. She was frozen for a while.27. What is the best title for the text?A. A Small Pig Making a Big DifferenceB. An Abandoned Pig Finding a Warm HomeC. A Little Pig Bringing Happiness to a FamilyD. A Lovely Pig Removing a Couple’s DisagreementCAccording to a recent study, a new genetically modified rice can prevent infections of HIV, the virus responsible for the disease AIDS.The study reports the newly-developed rice produces proteins that attach directly to the HIV virus. This process prevents the virus from mixing with human cells. The scientists say it can remove the effect of the virus and block its spreading.The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS reports that worldwide, nearly 37 million people were living with HIV in 2017. The organization says the largest number of those are in developing countries. Nearly two-thirds of HIV cases are in Africa. Now there is no cure for HIV/AIDSthough there have been developments in oral drug treatments to slow the progression of the disease.The new study predicts the rice-based method will lead to long-term use of the anti-HIV treatment across the developing world. Researchers said the “groundbreaking” discovery is “realistically the only way” that anti-HIV combination treatments can be produced at a cost low enough for the developing world.They say the easiest and most cost-effective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin. The HIV-fighting proteins can then enter the body through the skin. People all over the world could grow the rice and make the cream themselves. This would prevent the cost and travel required for many patients to receive treatments and medicine.The process of changing the genetic structure of food crops has been debated for some time. Critics of genetically engineered crops believe they can harm people. The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.28. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?A. Introduce HIV to the public.B. Provide some data about HIV.C. Remind readers of HIV prevention.D. Stress the urgency of HIV treatments.29. In which way will the rice be used at the lowest cost?A. By transforming it into proteins.B. By adding it to an oral drug.C. By processing it into a cream.D. By attaching it to the HIV virus.30. What can we infer about the genetic engineering process?A. It still requires perfecting.B. It can produce dangerous chemicals.C. It can prevent infections of HIV.D. It applies to the developing world.31. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A social web page.D. A first aid brochure.DTokyo Medical University, one of Japan’s top medical universities, has been systematically blocking female applicants from entering the school by lowering their entrance exam results for the past decade, local news agencies have reported.The scandal surfaced during the university’s investigation of another scandal, in which its former director was accused of giving admission to the son of a senior education official in exchange for a favor.Admissions records released by the school show the percentage of women who passed the entrance exam rose from 24% in 2009 to 38% in 2010. The figure has since stayed below that level, falling to 18% in 2018, when only 30 women of the 1,019 female applicants were eventually accepted.Women account for more than 40% of the overall workforce, but the share of female doctors has been stuck at about 30% since 1998. The slow progress in medicine has caused assumption that other medical institutes probably have similar policies that discriminate against female applicants.So why is a country that is battling a shortage of doctors trying to bar qualified female candidates from getting training?It is believed that female students will eventually leave the medical profession to give birth and to raise their children. There is a silent understanding to accept more male students as one way to solve the doctor shortage.It is true that female physicians tend to leave the profession at much higher rates than male, but many disagree that keeping them out of medical school is an effective response.Yoshiko Maeda, head of the Japan Medical Women’s Association, said, “it is astonishing that women are being robbed of their right to seek entry to the medical profession. Instead of worrying about women quitting jobs, they should do more to create an environment where women can keep working.” .32.Which year saw the highest level of female admission percentage?A. 1998.B. 2009.C. 2010.D. 2018.33. What does the underlined word “bar” in paragraph 5 mean?A. prevent.B. separate.C. distinguish.D. protect.34. What is Maeda’s attitude to Tokyo Medical University’s policy?A. Cautious.B. Disapproving.C. Uninterested.D. Favorable.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Female doctors in Japan tend to leave their profession.B. Female doctors make up the larger part of Japanese workforce.C. Tokyo Medical University put forward a new admission policy.D. Tokyo Medical University changed test scores to keep women out.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。

That changed after he met polar explorer Robert Swan. They began an email correspondence which turned into a friendship that eventually saw the then 14-year-old invited to join a trip to the Antarctic. He said yes almost instantly. Friends and family, to whom he’d so far shown he had no particular interest in outdoor pursuits, particularly polar ones, were thrown into total confusion, to say the least. He ate lots of chicken, spent a long time in the gym, and proved them wrong.The following year, Liautaud cooked up a more ambitious plan: to become the youngest-ever person to go to the North Pole. He found a new partner, Doug Stoup, and through a mixture of charm and luck raised the roughly $150,000 needed for the record attempt. Then disaster struck. The early months of the year, when the two set out, were among the warmest on record. The North Pole, which is essentially a GPS location on a constantly-drifting collection of ice sheets, became virtually inaccessible, surrounded by pieces of uncovered ocean.A trip which had intended to raise awareness of melting ice caps had been delayed by melting Ice caps. " We would get up, battle through these difficult conditions for 150 hours, then wake up the next morning and find that we were further away from the Pole than we’d started the previous morning, he said. After 14 days’ trying, they admitted defeat.Liautaud came home and decided to try again the next spring. Conditions were cold but perfect, and he and Stoup reached the Pole in no time. While it might not have made him the youngest North-Poler, the success did give Liautaud a platform to continue advocacy against climate change, through his campaigning website. His view is that it's his generation that must push hardest for cuts in carbon emissions. He has already contributed to research projects carried out by the International Atomic Energy Agency and will soon set up two stations to record weather data.4．How did Liautaud's family react to his decision to go to the Antarctic?A．They made fun of it.B．They turned a deaf ear to it .C．They were puzzled about it.D．They tried to talk him out of it.5．What prevented Liautaud and Stoup from reaching the North Pole?A．The movement of the iceB．The lack of fundsC．The severe weatherD．The failure of the equipment6．Why was Liautaud determined to go to the North Pole?A．To push his physical limitsB．To become the youngest North-PolerC．To finish a research project for his websiteD．To support environmental protection7．Which of the following words can best describe Liautaud as a young man? A．Demanding B．Responsible C．Generous D．CooperativeWildlife crossings don’t just protect animals. They can also mitigate problems related to wildlife-vehicle collisions (碰撞) and save significant money for a community.Wildlife crossings are man-made structures that help animals move safely around their habitat. They are often paths under or over another existing road or railway, or underground passages for animals to get past for food or avoiding attacks.Some animals are unable to migrate to survive. People still rely on highways for business and travel, and animals continue to have mobility needs for survival, though. When new roads are built, animals living in a part of their habitat can greatly increase the number of wildlife vehicle collisions while trying to cross the new barriers.In a new study, Wisnu Sugiarto, a Washington State University economics doctoral student, examined data for 13 of the 22 wildlife crossings, including bridges and underpasses, in the Washington State. He compared the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions each year before and after the construction of a wildlife crossing. He considered the area within 10 miles of a crossing.Then he compared his analysis to a separate area in the state with no crossings at all.“The findings reported that wildlife crossing structures reduced the number ofwildlife-vehicle collisions by one to three accidents on average per mile per year,” Sugiarto said. “Therefore, building wildlife crossing structures is typically an essential and effective strategy to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions.”“Trior to working on this research, I wasn’t aware of any strategies to reduce wildlife vehicle collisions. I also thought we couldn’t do much about it, partly because we wouldn’t be able to communicate with wildlife and control their movement,” Sugiarto added. “However, it turns out that there are multiple strategies to deal with issues related to wildlife-vehicle collisions and we can do something about them. ”It is reported that the government has invested $ 350 million over five years for the construction of wildlife crossings. Every wildlife crossing offers a mean benefit of between $235,000 and $443,000 each year.8．What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Analyze.B．Reduce.C．Study.D．Discover. 9．What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A．How the wildlife crossings are built.B．Why wildlife crossings are necessary.C．What should be done to cross the roads.D．When wildlife-vehicle collisions happen.10．What is Sugiarto’s attitude to the construction of wildlife crossings?A．Tolerant.B．Skeptical.C．Favorable.D．Conservative.11．What is the best title for the text?A．Wildlife crossings save wild animals and moneyB．The size of wildlife crossings affects animals greatlyC．Every wildlife crossing has a great effect on road safetyD．Wildlife crossings manage to help animals move safelyThere is a picture: A polar bear is lying lifeless on a beach. On the shore, in the background, stand three guards, talking to each other. One of them has a gun hanging casually on his shoulder. This powerful image has made people question the motivation (动机) for this kind of tourism, or ecotourism. Does our proximity (接近) to large animals in the wild,frequently caused by a desire for exciting images, lead to such animals becoming accustomed to (习惯于) human contact? If that is the case, surely the losing side will end up paying the price for such proximity.To my sorrow, I have recently returned from a trip to Svalbard, and stood two weeks ago on the very beach where the bear was shot. The bear’s death should never have happened. Was the beach examined beforehand? Was there access to flares (照明弹) to scare off a bear that appeared suddenly? These are standard measures for any operator. The incident is probably the result of a terrible systematic (制度的) failure.However, the incident should not deny the value of ecotourism. In its best form, this kind of travel has very little influence, or indeed has a positive effect, on the environment where it takes place. This can be achieved by making financial donations to conservation groups, providing income to local communities, or ensuring protection of certain areas or animals. In Svalbard, visitors become ambassadors (大使) for the endangered polar bear, increasing awareness of the fact that the far greater danger they are facing is the sea ice melt in the Arctic Ocean.Ecotourism is an expanding market that brings benefits as well as challenges to the regions around the world in which it operates. Simply closing off these regions is not the answer.12．Why was the polar bear dead?A．It was probably killed by tourists.B．It was probably frightened to death by flares.C．The proper rules weren’t probably followed.D．The beach wasn’t probably equipped with safety equipment.13．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．Ecotourism could be developed properly.B．Financial donations should be strongly encouraged.C．Environmental awareness has greatly increased.D．Visitors are ashamed of ecotourism.14．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggest?A．More challenges haven’t yet been accepted.B．Better measures for leading ecotourism are a good choice.C．The environmental benefits from ecotourism are very obvious.D．The positive effects of protecting tourists haven’t yet been felt.15．What is the purpose of the text?A．To urge readers to focus on polar bears.B．To make readers reflect on ecotourism.C．To stress negative effects that ecotourism has caused.D．To analyse the reason why the polar bear was killed.二、七选五Leonardo da Vinci and NatureIn the modern world, art and science are two very separate activities, but in Leonardo’s time they were closely connected. Science meant mathematics and medicalstudies.___16___Mathematics included practical work like surveying land for making maps as well as measuring the movements of the stars in the sky. An artist might need to measure the different parts of the body. He could also use mathematics to place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or painting so the scene looked correct.__17__Mathematics was also connected to music because musical sounds have a fixed relationship with each other that can be described in numbers.___18___More than this, though, Leonardo believed that numbers were a part of all things in the world, including music, and he said that “without them nothing can be done.”“Nature has kindly given us things everywhere to copy,” wrote Leonardo. In all his activities, Leonardo was trying to discover the rules that control nature. In his search for those rules, he looked very carefully at a lot of examples and details. Actual experience was more important to him than opinion, and he worked from facts to ideas.____19____ His purpose was to examine the world so he could copy it in beautiful paintings and sculptures. He also wanted to learn from the clever solutions of nature.__20__ His quick little sketches, often done while wandering outside, helped him to catch a movement or a shape. More careful drawings would be done at a desk with a pen and ruler. In July 2001, a small drawing by Leonardo was sold for $12 million. It was the most expensive drawing in the world.A．Leonardo was always drawing.B．How could these be connected with art?C．Leonardo was also an influential philosopher.D．Mathematicians and doctors worked to discover the unknown.E．Above all, Leonardo wanted to understand how and why things worked.F．Leonardo himself was a very good musician and liked to play an instrument and sing. G．You will see a good example of such positioning in the painting of The Last Supper.三、完形填空This year, I decided that it would be a(n) ____21____ cleaning and we triedto____22____ our house of years’ of accumulated (堆积的) stuff.The stuff was____23____ in our house, lining the walls, filling the shelves and____24____ the closets(壁橱).

My grandma’s bedroom was just next to mine and my brother’s. A fire had broken out there and awakened her. Hearing her, my brother jumped into action, running from room to room quickly waking everyone in the house. Before we could do anything the fire destroyed it. We all had just made it outside when the flames (火焰) took hold of every room.I stood there shaking while the fire destroyed my books, clothes, and toys. I watched helplessly while my mom cried and my dad sighed. I wondered what was going to happen to us because we had lost all our things.As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: The things that mattered were not things. I saw my brother running around to get help. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Our lives would continue without the “stuff” that was burning. We would all live to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.4.Who first found the house was on fire?A.The author.B. The brother.C. The grandma.D. The parents.5.What was the author thinking about when seeing everything destroyed?A.He was wondering how the fire got started.B.He was worried about their life after the fire.C.He was mad about losing his clothes and toys.D.He felt lucky that they were saved by the firefighters.6.What does the author mainly want to tell readers in paragraph 4?A.That their life and family matter most.B.That his family was lucky enough to escape.C.That family and pets both meant a lot to him.D.That the things burned in the fire didn’t matter at all.7.Which of the following quotes is the author most likely to agree with?A.“Keep calm and carry on.” —— the Ministry of Information, UKB.“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. ” —— Friedrich NietzscheC.“You'll be alive. That's what matters. Enjoy what you have.” —— Richelle MeadD.“Home is where you are loved the most and act the worst.” —— Marjorie Pay HinckleyCReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register( 登记) the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an ID number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E- mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated(及时了解) about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend(趋势) among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than 135 countries.8.Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.9.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The book.B. An adventure.C. A public place.D. The ID number.10.What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.11.What is the text mainly about?A. A new reading habitB. A social activity of exchanging booksC. A new trend of online readingD. A website that connects people through b ooksDThe meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show uneasiness or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts(冲突) among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority(权威) rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to understand the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.12.What does the author say about silence in conversations?A. It implies anger.B. It promotes friendship.C. It depends on culture.D. It is based on context.13.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A. The Chinese.B. The French.C. The Mexicans.D. The Russians.14.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A. Let it continue as the patient wants.B. Break it while treating patients.C. Evaluate(评估) its harm to patients.D. Make use of its healing effects.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Sound and SilenceB. What It Means to Be SilentC. Silence to Native AmericansD.

However, you may find that your gestures happe n out of habit. Understanding appropriate gestures of the country you’re visiting may prevent you from communicating the wrong message. In North America, eye contact communicates to the speaker that you’re interested and listening. In Asia, people look awa y to concentrate on what the speaker is saying. Taking the time to get yourself familiar with the gestures of the country you’re visiting will help you connect with the people of the foreign environment.Gestures in BrazilMuch like the Italian culture, a Brazilian snaps his fingers（打响指）and uses exaggerated（夸张的）hand movements when stressing a statement. The sense of warmth and friendliness with each other is shown through thegesture of eye contact when communicating and standing close together in lineups or when talking to each other. Communicating a greeting is more than the gesture of a handshake, but also involves the touch of the forearm.Gestures in ChinaChina is affected by Confucius’ way of thinking, which is reflected through its reserved cultur e. You communicate a greeting in China with the gesture of a slight nod and bow. To communicate respect, you keep your head lowered. In China, the gesture of standing close during a conversation prevents having to communicate with a raised voice. A person will communicate his surprise during a conversation with the gesture of breathing in air loudly, rather than a loud outburst.Gestures in RussiaGestures considered common to Americans may be considered rude in Russia. The American gesture to communicate “okay”, with the forefinger and thumb touching and three fingers up, is considered rude in Russia. Looking at your watch is a rude gesture communicating impatience. Russians also feel upset about the gesture of communicating directions by pointing.Gestures in IndiaGestures used in India represent its traditional culture. In India, the gesture of holding out the hand to communicate giving or receiving must be done with the right hand as a person in India uses his left hand for washing. The gesture of communicating respect at a religious ceremony is done by removing your shoes. The proper way of communicating direction is to use either the whole hand or by using your chin. The proper form of communicating a greeting is to press the palms（手掌）together with fi ngers upward and say, “Namaste”. 21．In China people stand close while talking to _____.A avoid a loud voice B．show their surpriseC．exchange greetings D．express their respect22．Which of the following is considered bad manners in India? _____A．Receiving gifts with the left hand. B．Using the whole hand to show the way. C．Removing shoes at religious ceremonies. D．Pressing the palms together upward while greeting. 23．In which country is looking at the watch considered impolite during communication? _____A．Brazil. B．Russia. C．India. D．China.24．The passage is mainly about _____.A．some traveling tips for visitors B．the advantages of using body languageC．some gestures in communication D．the comparison between different culturesBSometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge it istime you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about US. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image.

The finds were uncovered off the coast of Dunwich, Suffolk - a small village which in the 11th Century was one of the largest towns in England.The town was hit by a series of storms in the 13th and 14th centuries and is now largely below the sea. Researchers said sediment(沉积物) gathered from the cliffs independently proved the historical record.“They were like the south coast storms of 2013, at least once a year for decades,” Professor David Sear, of the University of Southampton said.The three-year research off Dunwich has been funded by Touching the Tide, a £900, 000 Heritage Lottery Fund plan to explore the changing Suffolk coast.A diver used ultrasound(超声波) to “illuminate” findings on the seabed, and the marshes(沼泽) and eroding cliffs were surveyed. “It offers a marvelous history of climate change and coastal erosion,” said Prof Sear with regards to the findings.In the 11th Century, Dunwich was the 10th largest town in England, but now has about 120 residents. Two great storms in 1286and 1326resulted in the loss of its harbor and started its decline. Prof Sear said analysis showed how “people gave up on Dunwich” after 1338, when another great storm choked up the port for good, and food production declined. Sediment gathered from the cliffs, he said, “independently confirmed the sequences of storms recorded in the historical record”.The underwater research has been carried out using acoustic(声学的) imaging technology, and has unearthed a series of buildings. We found the ruins of about four chu rches and we’ve also found ruins of what we think was a toll house. We’ve also found shipwrecks(沉船), which no-one’s known before.A dig in 2015discovered evidence of Dunwich’s prehistoric origins, as well as evidence it was “a substantial Saxon port, prior to its rapid growth following the Norman invasion”.Bill Jenman, from Touching the Tide, said:“We found loads of pottery, a lot more than we’ve found before, so sort of High Medieval - the peak of the wealth of Dunwich. We know it was a fairly major town in the Anglo-Saxon period.”29．Evidence shows that Dunwich declined in history due to ______.A．the rise of sea level B．sediment from the cliffsC．the Norman invasion D．a series of storms30．What can be learned from the text about Dunwich’s pres ent condition? _____A．It is completely below the sea B．It still exists with about 120 residents.C．It is still hit by storms every year. D．It is still an important port in England31．With the help of modern equipment, the researchers have found all the following things underwater EXCEPT_____.A．shipwrecks unknown beforeB．ruins of churches and other buildingsC．the seabed that was like a busy harbourD．lots of pottery dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period32．From the discoveries, we can conclude that______.A．Dunwich was thoroughly ruined by the Norman invadersB．no one believed those ships could have sink at DunwichC．Dunwich was a prosperous town before its declineD．no historical records about Dunwich were kept after 1338DThe term“ lifelong learning” is often used to define the attitude of staying in a learning mode. It is a term that is used loosely and lacks structure, importance, value and support in India.Many developed countries, for example Canada, have government programmers based on UNESCO guidelines and even offer financial support under Lifelong Learning Plans (LLPs). In the Indian context, learning is often done to earn a degree. We are a degree-oriented country. A hard fact that these degrees are sometimes mere pieces of paper, which do not establish any fact of real learning happening, or that some degrees do not help get a job in today’s times, is still not an accepted reality. The concept of voluntary and continuous learning, whether to enhance professional or personal skills, is still a long shot in India.The whole idea of lifelong learning recognizes the fact that not all learning needs to be formal, or restricted to student life until the age of 28．It can be a process that is continuous throughout life, based on situations and varied needs. Take the case of a retired professional. She may be interested in fine arts, but wasn’t able to do so in her career. Can’t she then enroll in(登记) a degree programme of fine arts after retirement? Our current system doesn’t quite support such needs of learning, for it doesn’t admit anybody beyond the age of 45．Another aspect of lifelong learning is “life-deep learning”. It is another word for value education or value-based teaching. In earlier times, there used to be periods in classroom learning called moral science that taught the importance of right versus wrong.Further, “ life-wide learning” is a term that refers to lateral(横向的) learning—from experiences and situations different from formal, structured education.These three concepts—lifelong learning, life-deep learning and life-wide learning—constitute the framework of UNESCO’s recommendation to take education to the next level.33．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2? _____A．Degrees are designed to get a job. B．Canada is also a degree-oriented country.C．India has a long way to go in “lifelong learning”.D．Lifelong learning doesn’t need money support. 34．Which of the following cannot be used to describe “lifelong learning”? _____A．Formal. B．V oluntary. C．Important. D．Continuous.35．What can we infer from the example of the woman in Paragraph 3? _____A．She didn’t do well in her career before retirement.B．She didn’t become an artist until the age of 45．C．The elderly lose the right of study in the current system.D．She gained a chance to study fine arts after retirement.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,选项中有两项为多余选项.In many parts of the world, cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them. 36 ．But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers(制造商).The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an internationalresearch program. 37 ．That will mean much saving, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, 38Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.According to Dr. David Davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.Davis says, cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices(装置) to regulate(调节) the distance between one car and another. 39 ．Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.By 2010, Dr. David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image（影像）of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen. 40 . Cars will be connected by an electronic bar t o the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount of fuel.” says Davis.“ But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”A．The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized.B．They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years.C．And it will not be owned by one individual.D．And by 2030, cars will travel in line, linked to each other electronically.E．So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe.F．Every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns.G．The car will automatically speed up or slow down to match the speed of the front car.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节,满分45分）第一节:完形填空（共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.About two years ago, I was at a stop sign when I heard whimpering(微弱的叫声) coming from inside a car parked on the street next to me.

In your last letter you were asking about the current situation of the Bike-sharing Program in Chengdu. I’m writing to tell you something about it and share some of my ideas with you.Undoubtedly, the Bike-sharing Program can bring lots of benefits. To begin with, riding a bike is not only economic but also time-saving, especially when your destination is not far away. What’s more, the program makes contributions to reducing air pollution.However, there is also some disturbing news connected with it. Some shared-bikes are parked everywhere, making the city roads messy and dangerous. Worse still, some shared-bikes have been damaged, stolen or even burnt.As far as I’m concerned, as long as people park the bikes in the right places and obey the traffic rules, I’m definitely in favor of such a program. What do you think?I’m looking forward to hearing from you.Yours,Li Hua- 11 - / 11。

But they thought . My complaints, evenself-justified shouting, were always landing on ears. Very often awhole hour’s scolding would end with their into tears, I felt veryfrustrated. I realized I needed to my method of “mothering”.One day when they were at school, I spent some time their rooms. Ontheir desks, in plain , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other cardwas to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you likeit clean. Love, the Room Fairy.” arriving back, the children were excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their roomswere fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy 11 for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room andasking them to play a certain violin . Each day, thank--you noteswould be written differently to keep the ideas .Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little : “If you canfinish your homework and your lessons before dinner, I’ d like to watcha particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some coloredmarkers or other little items would be left in of well done jobs theday .I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving herlove notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions ofPost-Its(贴条). The bathroom mirror became the centre of our home.

They have never given the matter any thought.Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors, I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most （but not all ）Americans, and that understanding these values can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans.It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values areingrainedin Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions —actions which might otherwise appear “strange,”“ confusing,” or “unbelievable” when evaluated from the perspective （aspect）of the foreigner's own society and its values. The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter （meet）an action, or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet.31．An ordinary American can't tell you his / her value system because______.A．this is something an American lives byB．everyone will have his/her own systemC．he/she has never thought about itD．values are something often in their thought32．The author lists 13 values in his booklet to_____.A．invite foreigners to visit AmericaB．look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitorsC．describe the confusing actions of most AmericansD．help international visitors understand Americans33．The underlined word “ingrained” in Line 2, Paragraph 3 most probably means ______. A．rooted in the minds B．found in the grainsC．planted for food D．prepared with grain34．Visitors sometimes find Americans behave in a strange, confusing or unbelievable way, probably because___.A．Americans are hard to understandB．Americans have values which are entirely different from their ownC．they view Americans according to the values in their own societyD．it is difficult to understand any people when you first encounter themI'm seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars. It was hard work.While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago.I remembered his name and said, "Mr Castle, how are you?" We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, "It was nice talking to you, Brett." I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh, no. He didn't remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put "Irving" down on my name plate. If he'd have said, "Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?" I'd have been ready for him. There's nothing personal here.The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was: you couldn't accept tips. Okay, I'm outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction is to take a quarter and give it to me. I'd say, "I'm sorry, I can't." They'd get angry. When you give someone a tip, you're sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say, "Oh, thanks a lot." When you say, "I'm sorry, I can't." They feel a little____They say, "No one will know." And they put it in your pocket. You say, "I really can't." It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the store's belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendlything and made the customer feel good. I just couldn't understand the strangeness of some people's ideas.One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.35．What can be the best title for this text?A．How Hard Life Is for Box Boys B．Getting along with Customers C．Why I Gave up My Job D．The Art of Taking Tips36．From the second paragraph, we can infer that ________.A．the writer didn't like the impersonal part of his jobB．with a name plate, people can easily start talkingC．Mr Castle mistook Irving for BrettD．Irving was the writer's real name37．The box boy refused to accept tips because ________.A．customers only gave small tipsB．some customers had strange ideas about tippingC．the store didn't allow the box boys to take tipsD．he didn't want to fight with the customers38．The underlined phrase "put down" in the third paragraph probably means_______. A．misunderstood B．defeatedC．hateful D．hurtLow-Cost Gifts for Mother's DayGift No. 1Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say “no need，” but another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit. The best part? This one is free.Gift No. 2Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them.“Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life，”Dr Marie Savard said.Gift No. 3Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep，” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is very important to our health.”Gift No. 4Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother's Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity. Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things—many of which are “green”—and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.39．What are you advised to do for your mother at doctor's visits?A．Take notes. B．Be with her.C．Buy medicine. D．Give her gifts.40．What can be a gift of organization for your mother?A．Keeping her medical information together.B．Buying all gifts for her from one company.C．Making a list of her medical check-ups.D．Storing her medicines in a safe place.41．Buying gifts from Presents for Purpose allows mothers to________．A．enjoy good sleep B．be well-organizedC．get extra support D．give others helpThere are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own ideas of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people，simply being able to live their life with the least misery and sufferings is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of him and accepted by his family and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one hasself-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one's goals at too low a level of achievement.A wise man once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration(挫折）with his own professional success, “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling.
