He had some interesting theories about planting trees.Hehardlywatered hisnewtrees, an attitude whichflewintheface of conventional wisdom.Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said he had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.So, instead of wateringhistreeseverymorning, he’dbeatthemwitharolled-upnewspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees’ attention.Doctor Gibbs died a coupleof yearsafterIlefthome.Everynow andthen, Iwalked byhis house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some 25 years ago.

A new finding suggests that parents, social workers, psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion, those of children are known to be particularly influenced, said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University. Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally.Previous research, for example, has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers; when asked, say “Did you drink juice at the picnic?” the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available. It is not that the child is consciously lying, but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.To avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask children only open- ended questions, such as “What did you have at the picnic?” But an open-ended question paired with a gesture, briefly meaning a juice box, is treated like a detailed question. That is，children become likely to answer falsely.And it isn’t just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture. Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users, such as little kids, Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases. “It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children. ’’In gene ral, Broaders advises parents and other adults to “try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event. Otherwise, you might be getting answers that don’t reflect what actually happened. ’’8.What can we know about gestures from the text?A.They are rarely used by people.B. They have certain effect on children.C.They have not any function at all.D. They are often used by social workers.9. Whyare kidseasyto bemisledbygesturesaccordingto SaraBroaders?A.Children are easy to tell lies.B. These gestures are very attractive.C.Their memories are affected easily.D. These gestures are used frequently.10. Which may cause a wrong reply according to the text?A. Where are you going Lucy?B. What will you have for lunch?C. Did you see anything else last night?D. Did you cheat in the last English examination?11. What does the underlined word “impart”in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Pass on.B. Tell apart.C. Confuse.D. Separate.DAs we live longer and technology continues its rapid development, we can imagine a future where machines will enlarge our human abilities and help us make better life choices, from health to wealth. Through our dialogue and digital pieces, AI(artificial intelligence) willunderstand our life goals and wishes, our duties and limitations. It will help us plan different life events, sowe can spendmore time enjoying life’s moments.The ability for AI to understanad the complexities and slight differences of humanconversation is, however, one hurdle (障碍）.There are several thousand known living languages in the world today. Adding to the difficulties are the varied ways words are shared and used across different cultures, including grammar, levels of education and styles of the speakers. Google Duplex, the technology supporting Google Assistant, which places phonecalls using a natural-sounding human voice instead of a robotic one, is an early attempt toaddress such challenges in human communications. But these are just initial whispers in voice of AI’s long journey.Beyond making reservations and conducting simple dialogues, virtual assistants will need to become far more useful and further fit into the parts of our everyday lives. Not only will they need to foresee what we need before we ask, they also need to understand the context of our conversations and react accordingly. Imagine a snow day when school is canceled for thekids. Knowing that you must now stay at home with your children, your phone would remindyou, asking if you’d like your meetings moved to the following day. Alternatively, imaginehow much more pleasant your journey home from a business trip would be if your phone could automatically arrange for a ride waiting to pick you up at the airport, based on your travel plan, location, and habits. The possibilities are endless.12. What do we know about AI?A. It stops us living longer.B. It narrows our abilities.C. It doesn’t knowour limitations.D. It helps us enjoy life better.13. What makes it hard for AI to understand what humans say?A. Low level of speakers.B. Imperfection of AI.C. Varieties of languages and cultures.D. Similarities between languages.14.Whichword can best describe the author’s attitude towards AI?A. Doubtful.B. Approving.C. Negative.D. Critical.15.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. AI Will Replace HumansB. AI Will Set Goals for UsC. AI Will Be Part of Our Daily LivesD. AI Will Meet Challenges第二节（共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I never doubted that story even as an adult. In fact I don’t often find a dime; or a quarter or even pennies on the ground.A few days ago I went to the local post office to mail a letter to a friend. I was walking down the street outside the post office when I did see not one; not two; but four separate dimes on the ground shining in the sunlight. I bent down and picked them up and at the same time I thought of the homeless. I kept them in my hand and entered the post office. Inside a lady was digging through her purse at the counter anxiously looking for change to mail a package. Believe it or not; she was exactly forty cents short. How amazing it was I placed my dimes on the counter. The smile I got in return was worth a thousand dollars.Every small act of kindness; every loving gesture; and every moment of pity and sharing are treasures in the world that will make it more beautiful. Always share the love in your heart; and you will make your life more valuable.1.How much money is a dime underlined in the first paragraphA. 1 cent.B. 10 cents.C. 25 cents.D. 50 cents.2.What did the author think of her mom’s storyA.She liked it.B.She thought it was a joke.C.It taught her to be honest.D.It made her want to be an angel.3.When the author picked up the four dimes; she wanted to ________.A.give them to the womanB.hand them to her teachere them to mail her letterD.give them to the homeless4.The author found it surprising that _______.A.the woman had lost four dimesB.the woman was just short of forty centsC.the woman mailed her package to the author’s friendD.the post office didn’t charge the woman for her package5.What would be the title for the textA.Lost but FoundB.The Price of GreedC.Pennies from HeavenD. A Purse in the SunlightBIn the fifteenth century Italy had no single ruler. Instead it was a collection of independent states; knows as “city states” because each one was run by a central city such as Florence. Some were small; some were large. Most states had their own governments; laws and money. During the Middle Ages; five city states became very rich and powerful. For example; Venice became rich from its trade with the Far East; the Mediterranean and the rest of Europe. Banks in Florence lent money to business and governments all over Europe.There was great competition between the city states —which led to regular wars —and between the families which ruled them. The city states also competed with each other to build the grandest or tallest buildings.Let’s look in detail at one city —Florence. In 1400 Florence was one of the largest cities in Italy. It was the centre of a rich trade in wool and cloth. One-third of the workers in Florence worked in the wool trade.The most powerful family in Florence was the Medici who ruled the city between 1469 and 1492.The other powerful people who had influence in Florence were the members of the guilds行业协会. Craftsmen such as carpenters each had their own guild. If you were a member of a guild and over 25 years old then you could be involved in governing the city.The rulers of Florence wanted their city to be impressive and famous. The Medici collected books and built a huge library to house them. They spent money on renovating old buildings to be better and also putting up new ones. They built a splendid palace and employed painters and sculptors to decorate it. Some of the best and most famous artists were brought to work in Florence.6.What do we know about the city statesA.They ruled themselves.B.They were made up of five cities.C.They didn’t trade with each other.D.They disappeared during the Middle Ages.7.The relationship between the city states can be described as _____.A.strongB. inflexibleC. unfriendlyD. cooperative8.According to the text; the Medici family _______.A.created their own guildB.contributed a lot to FlorenceC.was the single ruler of FlorenceD.became rich through doing woodwork9.Why did some artists go to FlorenceA.Because there was great demand for art in Florence.B.Because there were many famous artists in Florence.C.Because Florence was well-known for its art trade.D.Because other cities had no interest in art.10.What did the underlined word “renovating” in the last paragraph meanA.removingB. buyingC. sellingD. repairingCMany cities and towns have laws that require people to recycle paper and plastics. Now some states and local governments have passed laws that require citizens to recycle their food waste as well. California and Vermont have statewide laws about recycling food waste that apply to businesses and homes. The process of recycling food waste and turning it into usable soil is called composting堆制肥料.Food waste that can be composted includes fruit and vegetable peels; coffee grounds; tea bags; and eggshells. Garden waste such as stems and leaves can also be composted. Meat; fish; and dairy food waste cannot be recycled.According to environmental groups; composting reduces the amount of trash going into landfills垃圾填埋地; and composted waste holds a wide range of nutrients. When compost is added to the soil in gardens and fields; it helps crops grow.Reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills is one reason why cities and states are passing food-waste recycling laws. “Our landfills are far from enough for the creation of new ones which is shrinking.” Renee Crowley; a project manager at the Lower East Side Ecology Center in New York City; told TFK.Officials in Seattle; Washington; say that food waste makes up 30% of the trash going into landfills; and they are looking to reduce that percentage. That city has a law requiring people to recycle food waste. It is banned from all garbage. There is a fine for people who put it into regular garbage.Crowley points out that even in cities where food recycling is not a law; there are often places where citizens can drop off their food waste for composting. Many schools and colleges have also started composting programs.Those who are against food-recycling laws say that composting process is costly. In addition; it can be difficult for people who live in apartments to store their waste because they don’t have access to outside storage bins. Patti Ferguson from Orange County; California; told her local newspaper that she thought an indoor container containing food waste would get smelly.11.What do we know about composting from the textA.Not all food waste can be reused.B.It is cheap to compost food waste.C.Not all soil can be composted.D.It is usually processed in empty landfills.12.What food waste can be compostedA.Meat.B. Fish.C. Coffee grounds.D. Dairy food.13.What is the third paragraph mainly aboutA.Ways of keeping nutrients in the soil.B.Ways of reducing the amount of trash.C.Examples of different useful nutrients.D.Benefits of recycling food waste.14.In Seattle; throwing food waste into garbage is _____.A.acceptableB. shamefulC. requiredD. illegal15.Patti Ferguson’s attitude towards food-recycling laws is probably ______.A.thankfulB. negativeC. uncaringD. supportive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不出能填入空白处的最佳选项..选项中有两项为多余选项..How to keep a tidy deskWorking at a clean desk can often be more effective 16 The following will help you to have a tidy desk.Only keep things you really need on and near your desk.

Most of my classmates stayed in Hawaii for college or went to schools on the West Coast, but I decided to broaden my horizons by attending Purdue University in Indiana. While there, I discovered I was a minority — something I had never experienced back home.Being a minority for the first time, I felt like an outsider. My ideas, interests and values were constantly considered not as important as my heritage (传统). After sharing an alternate point of view, I would often hear “What do you know? You’re from Hawaii.” These responses eventually made me less enthusiastic about telling people where I was from; I had lost pride in my heritage.That summer I went home to work for a political non-profit in Honolulu, where I discovered a love for working on laws. Slowly, my pride in my heritage came back. I came to the realization that everyone is raised differently, and the people who had previously thought little of me were so forced on their ideas of where I came from — a remote, beautiful island — that they were ignorant of my culture and the value that other views and opinions can offer.I returned to Purdue with a newfound love for my background, I decided to share my culture with everyone I could and, after I did, I found people were more willing to hear my ideas. I changed my major to political science and decided I wanted to be a civil servant, with the goal of helping people of Asian American Pacific Islander backgrounds. I strongly believe if more AAPIs are given opportunities to expand their horizons by attending universities across America and the globe, the ignorance will go away and more voices will be heard. 6．Why did the author go to Purdue University?A．Because she was tired of life in Hawaii.B．Because she wanted to go out and expand her mind.C．Because her classmates chose to study on the West Coast.D．Because she was interested in the variety of cultures there.7．What difficulty did the author meet at first in Purdue University?A．Her ability was challenged.B．Her identity was questioned.C．She was made fun of because of her accent.D．She was laughed at owning to her background.8．What made her pride in her heritage come back?A．Being a lawyer in Indiana.B．Being a civil servant for AAPIs.C．The work for a political non-profit.D．Her major to political science. 9．How does the author feel at the end of the story?A．Proud.B．Cautious.C．Upset.D．Depressed. 10．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Live My Minority Life B．Overcome Culture ShockC．Live with Others’ Pride D．Fit into a Different SocietyPutting more green space around a school may help students develop some mentalabilities, a study suggests. Researchers tested students repeatedly over the course of a year on attentiveness (专注力)and working memory, which is the ability to keep something in mind temporarily for performing a task. On the whole, students whose schools were surrounded by more green space improved more than pupils from schools with less green space.The study tracked more than 2,000 students in 36 primary schools in Barcelona, Spain. The pupils were in the second to fourth grades when the study began. Green space may help mental development by reducing air pollution from vehicles, according to an article by the researchers that included pollution data from the schools. It may also help by reducing noise and encouraging physical activity, researchers said.Policy makers should know that “more green around the school is better for cognitive development and that they should make sure that kids can see and play in green areas,” one author Mark Nieuwenhuijsen said. “Existing urban schools should think about replacing concrete or other hard surfaces with green space,” he suggested, “and even a few trees may help.”The researchers used satellite images to group schools according to how much green space appeared on the school grounds and within about 55 yards of the school property. Their analysis showed that differences in socio-economic factors between schools did not account for the study outcome.Sally Augustin, a psychologist, said the results made sense to her. She said the results fit with previous findings that views of nature help children and adults lower stress and perform mental tasks better.11．What does the text mainly tell us?A．Green space makes schools more beautiful.B．Schools are lack of green space for students.C．Students’ mental abilities need to be improved.D．Green space is good for students’ mental abilities.12．What does the underlined word “tracked” mean in paragraph 2?A．Moved.B．Helped.C．Followed.D．Found. 13．What did Mark Nieuwenhuijsen suggest?A．More trees should be planted for kids.B．Noise should be cleared near the school.C．Kids should be encouraged to play more sports.D．Air pollution should be reduced from vehicles.14．Why is Augustin mentioned in the text?A．To show a different opinion.B．To introduce another interesting study.C．To present Augustin’s view about the study.D．To make the findings of the study more convincing.15．In which column of a website can we probably read the text?A．Health.B．Education.C．Nature.D．Technology.二、七选五Be a Green GuestWhen people take a vacation, they often take vacation from responsibility, too. Our behavior at hotels is one of the biggest problems. We have our linens(纺织品) washed daily for us, and are provided with an endless stream of hot water — what’s not to love about that? But all of this luxury equals serious consequences for the environment. More and more hotels are becoming eco-friendly. They offer programs and facilities that save water and energy. That’s a good start, 16•Just say “no” to hotel shampoosIn America alone, there are about 50,000 hotels. Hotel management normally leaves out two small bottles for each hotel room every day. 17 And what about all of that shampoo when you don’t finish the bottle? A better way is to bring your own shampoo from home.•Turn off the lights.18 Do it at the hotel, too. Studies have shown that, in hotels, the majority of energy spent through lighting comes from the bathroom light being left on for more than one hour! After you’re done with your business, remember to hit the switch!• 19Sure, it’s a luxury to have sheets and towels cleaned every day, but that’s all it is. Washing a set of bed sheets and a pair of bathroom towels requires about 12-16 gallons of water. See if there is a policy for requesting that your towels and linens get washed weekly.20 In others, you may ask the front desk for a personal request.A．You do it when you’re at home, right?B．Don’t shower too many times in hotels.C．Don’t have your linens washed every day.D．but they can do more to reduce these energy waste.E．The little plastic bottles may not even get recycled.F．but there is a lot more you can do to cut down the amount.G．In some hotels, it’s as simple as hanging towels back up on a hook.三、完形填空In my freshman year, I asked myself, “Why am I in school?” I thought I was forced to bethrough my brave behavior.21．A．lucky B．powerful C．believable D．meaningful 22．A．history B．writing C．listening D．literature 23．A．play B．watch C．enjoy D．imagine 24．A．afforded B．remembered C．promised D．volunteered 25．A．if B．for C．but D．once 26．A．experiment B．competition C．discussion D．performance 27．A．embarrassed B．surprised C．confused D．worried 28．A．dream B．family C．school D．childhood 29．A．unknown B．unfriendly C．unfair D．uncomfortable 30．A．often B．never C．ever D．already 31．A．make B．judge C．leave D．discover 32．A．shy B．calm C．curious D．lazy 33．A．prepared B．encouraged C．forced D．determined 34．A．goals B．topics C．models D．plans 35．A．ordinary B．natural C．valuable D．interesting 36．A．Without B．Through C．Except D．Before 37．A．learning B．singing C．speaking D．training 38．A．Instead B．Still C．Therefore D．However 39．A．follow B．know C．tell D．accept 40．A．mind B．hope C．name D．life四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AAdvice to English learnersLearners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their ability.First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “ fashionable”(时髦).Thirdly, listen to the English news programme over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.Fourthly, if yo u have time, listen to some interesting stories in “special English” from the VOA or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.1．This is a piece of advice to learners of English in how to_____.A. improve their listening abilityB. read fastC. write better English and read fastD. speak correctly2.If you want to understand the English news programme on the radio, you should_________.A. read the Chinese-language newspaper carefullyB. read again and again the Chinese-language newspaperC. go through the Chinese-language newspaperD. be able to recite the Chinese-language newspaper3．“Beyond your level” means something_______.A. easy for youB. too difficult for youC. not too easy and not too difficult for youD. just all right for you4.The author advised that once you have taken up a course, you should_______.A. stick to itB. begin with the last bookC. take up other courses if you are more fashionableD. not do anything else5．In this passage, VOA stands for______.A. a bookB. a magazineC. a textbookD. a radio stationBA serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible f or our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retried employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cov er their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take responsibili ty for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately , as the prese nt situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish someworkplaces especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.6.What is the passage mainly about?A. The problem faced by the old in society.B. Why we should take responsibility for the old.C. How we can improve the lives of the oldD. Where the old can go to get their pensions.7.According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retireB. Increase saving levels of people during their working yearsC. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the oldD. Make available pensions for those who have retired8.The underlined word “viable” most probably means ____.A. impossibleB. practicalC. usefulD. successful9.What can be concluded from the passage?A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.B. Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.C. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.D. There is no single solution to the problem of the old.10.What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this article?A. To point out the need for government supporting for old people.B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.C. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.CThe following is a timetable in Shanghai Pudong International Airport．11．A man wants to take Flight 178 to Tokyo． Which gate should he go to?A．14 B．28 C．21 D．1812．Lisa is at gate 23． Where is she going?A．Paris B．Beijing C．Tokyo D．New York13．Now it’s 10:40． Mary is at gate 20．Which airline’s plane will she take?A．British Airways B．Japanese AirlinesC．Pan American D．Air Canada14．Gate _______ is the busiest among all these gates．A．23 B．18 C．24 D．1515．Whi ch airline’s flights cover the longest route(行程)?A．CAAC B．Pan American C．British Airways D．Air CanadaDAs the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stres s, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.16. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _____.A. they regard working as their greatest enjoymentB. they believe that work is superior to relaxationC. they are traveling fast all the timeD. they are becoming busier with their work than ever before17. According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _____.A. strong will to hold out stressB. knowing the art of relaxationC. high sense of responsibilityD. having control over performance18. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?A. We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.B. Stress is always harmful to people's healthC. It's easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.D. Different people can bear different amount of stress.19. In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to _____.A. "expose ourselves to stress"B. "find ways to deal with stress"C. "remove stress from our lives"D. "establish links between diseases and stress"20. According to the author, the right attitude toward stress is _____.A. to avoid itB. to try to cope with itC. to regard it as a vital motivationD. to find some relaxation第二部分语言知识运用(共两节；满分35分)第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和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。

AMolly Boylan is one of the most successful business women in Canada after setting up her cosmetic (化妆品) company Blazes in 2010.

She sometimes feels that her two children know more about their baby-sitter than they do about her.Molly employs around eighty people in her factory and warehouse (仓库), and ten others in her two new fashion stores, but her newest employee is the most important one for her. After years of worrying about her business more than her family, she has decided to make Sally Pamonte new general manager in her company. Molly will still be involved in decision-making, and she’s going to stay in touch with the people who work for her, but Sally is going to look after day-to-day running of the business so that Molly can spend more time with the kids.The new arrangement is going to start on Monday, and both of them are already excited about it. Sally says, “I’m very nervous, actually, but I’m sure Molly will help me a lot in the early days, even though I hope she feels she can trust me not to make too many mistakes.”Molly, on the other hand, seems quite relaxed about the whole thing. ”I know that Sally’s going to be a very nice manager.” she says, “She’s only been here a couple of days and she’s already shown me how to work out a few problems we were having. The best thing though is that I feel a hundred times happier than I’ve been in years.

It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Vanua tu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano surfing and land diving.Volcano SurfingOn Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasuris an active volcano, and it erupts（爆发）almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways i t’s very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano—without getting hit by flying rocks!It’s fast, fun and dangerous—the perfect extreme sport（极限运动）.Land DivingMost people are familiar with bungee jumping, but doyou know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island inVanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity,first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony. A man ties tree vines（树藤）to his legs.

Then I began cooking, cleaning, watching the clock and listening for his footsteps coming up the walk.It’s called waiting. I’m good at it. When he was a newborn, I’d wait for him to go to sleep. Soon then I’d stand by his bed waiting for him to wake up. I waited, as he learned to do things like walking , talking and feeding himself; throwing a ball, riding a bike and reading a book.I waited for him to start preschool, primary school, middle school and college.I waited with dread for him to start driving. And I waited up every time he came home late.I wait for my son to grow up, but that doesn’t mean the waiting game is over. It never really ends.Mothers wait for all kinds of reasons—good news or bad, happiness or heartache. But the waiting is soon forgotten, usually, the minute a long awaited child walks through the door.My boy will be here soon. But if he’s late, I can wait. I’m good at it. And he’s worth it. I will always leave a light on for him.11. According to the passage, when her son came back, where would he sleep?A. in the studyB. in the living roomC. in his bedroomD. in the guest room12.

On his first day, he showed magic to his schoolmates. He made a toothpick (牙签) disappear and appear within seconds. Everyone wondered how he did it.“How did you do that?” I asked. “Sorry, but that’s the first law of magic. A magician never lets out his secrets.” Marty smiled. I thought he was tricking everyone. I would make his secrets known to all.The next day, Marty gave his second magic show. He said he could make things float (飘起). He had a ring in one hand and a pencil in the other. That’s when I saw it: a thin line tied around the end of the pencil and attracted to a button on Marty’s shirt! Sure enough, he made the ring “float” by sliding (滑动) it over the pencil and hanging it from the line. No one else noticed, but I found the secret. I got close to him and said, “I know how you did it.” He looked nervous and asked me, “Are you going to tell others?” I thought for a moment. If I told, I’d finally be able to prove Marty’s magic was fake (假的). Then Marty might lose his new friends. So I told him that I would say nothing about it. And then I walked away.“Wait!” Marty jumped in front of me. “You’ve got a pretty good eye for magic. If you’re interested, I have an idea,” Marty suggested. And I accepted his idea. That’s how the Magic Marty and Mysterious Matt Lunch Show began. We’ve been a magic team for three months now. It turns out that instead of a fake magician, Marty is a real friend.6．To whom did Marty show magic on his first day at school?A．His parents.B．His brothers.C．His teachers.D．Hisschoolmates.7．Why did Marty refuse to tell the secret of magic?A．It was the first law of magic.B．It was the rule of study.C．It was a duty for everyone.D．It was a task for a student.8．What do we know about Marty’s second magic show the next day?A．Its operation went wrong.B．It was praised by the writer.C．The writer found its secret.D．It was done with the help of others.9．How did Marty feel when he heard “I know how you did it.” in Paragraph 3?A．Nervous.B．Excited.C．Sorry.D．Happy. 10．What did the writer do in the end?A．He refused Marty’s suggestion.B．He and Marty set up a magic team.C．He let out the secret of Marty’s magic.D．He and Marty wrote a book about magic.Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbors. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. “It must be Bob,” John thought.Then one day there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway.“I’m looking for a few days’ work,” the carpenter said.“I do have a job for you,” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbor Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot fence. I don’t want to see his place or his face any more. I don’t have such a neighbor!”The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!It was a bridge! And the neighbor, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出). “Hi, John!

Crowdfunding is when a per-son or business gets many small payments from a large number of people. Usually, the way to do this is to use the Internet. In-stead of trying to get a few people to give thousands of dollars, you get hundreds of people, maybe thousands, to give a few dollars. But this is still not easy. You want people to see the value of your idea. How will you get them to give the dollars they earn to you?*Successful projects are those that got the money they wanted.There are websites that make this opportunity possible. Kickstarter and GoGet-Funding are popular. You create a short video to explain your project. The most important part is getting your message across. Just because you’ve made your idea known doesn’t mean you will get the mone y you need. You still need to sell your idea. Many people begin by explaining what the product is and then telling why people need it. For example, one of the most popular crowdfunded products is a watch. The Pebble watch connects with in-formation on a smartphone that will send information to the watch.More than 65,000 people gave money for this product.Crowdfunding raised $10.3 million for it.However, it’s not just products that people use crowdfunding for. People use it for their music, film, art, or writing projects.Projects usually get from 25 to 40 per-cent of their money from crowdfunding sites. Who is giving all the money? When people need money, they often ask their friends and family. Crowdfunding often works the same way, but once you create your video and message, your friends share it with their friends. If you’ve created a message that people can connect to, you get many more people to give. Why do these people give? First, there is the “feel-good” factor. Giving money makes people feel good. Second, many small businesses offer rewards to people. Third, sometimes the reward is simply getting to use the product. And this is part of the success of crowdfunding. You could make a difference.6. Where do people usually get crowdfunding?A．In newspapers. B．On the Internet.C．On the streets. D．In shopping centers.7. Which project type is the least successful according to the Bar Graph?A．Art. B．Music. C．Publishing. D．Film and video.8. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A．People use crowdfunding only for products.B．The Pebble watch sends information to the smartphone.C．You can post a short video for crowd-funding on Kickstarter.D．You will get the money you need once you get your message across.9. People give money to crowdfunding projects because of the reasons EXCEPT . A．They feel great B．They will receive praiseC．They can use the product D．They will get some rewards10. What’s the main purpose of the text?A．To give advice on crowdfunding. B．To persuade people to give money.C．To help people to get more money. D．To give an introduction to crowd-funding.For centuries, the power of Chinese emperors rose and fell with their control of the Grand Canal. Today, this waterway is shorter than it once was, but it is still the longest man-made river in the world. Importantly, the Grand Canal continues to provide a significant cultural and economic link for modern China.The original canal system began around the year 605. China’s Emperor Yang realized that he needed a better way to move food quickly to his army from China’s southern rice-growing region to the country’s north. So about one million people-mostly farmers-worked on the construction of the first section of the Grand Canal, which took six years.Over the next 500 ye ars, the canal’s importance grew. However, by 1127 , parts had begun to deteriorate. In 1279, Kublai Khan began to repair and build new parts of the canal, which created a more direct north-south route to and from Beijing. Future rulers continued to expand and improve the waterway, and it eventually became an important national lifeline.In addition to moving rice around China, the Grand Canal was an important cultural connection. Soldiers, businessmen,and artists transported ideas, regional foods, and cultural practices from one part of China to another. According to ancient stories, this is how Beijing acquired two of its best-known trademarks. Peking duck,a dish from Shandong Province, and the Peking opera, from Anhui and Hubei regions,were both brought north by the canal.For more than a thousand years, goods have been transported along the Grand Canal.Even today, the country’s watery highway plays an important economic role in China. Boats continue to carry tons of goods. In addition, local governments-eager to in-crease tourism and real estate (房地产) development-are beautifying areas along the canal.In 2005, a group of citizens proposed that the historic Grand Canal be made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was officially granted (批准) in 2014. The hope now is that the Grand Canal-one of the world’s great engineering achievements -will continue to link north and south China for centuries to come.11. Why was the Grand Canal originally built?A．To enable more people to visit distant parts of China.B．To allow the army to move quickly from the north to the south.C．To promote the cultural and traditional connection of south China.D．To transport food from the southern regions of China to the north.12. What is NOT true about the Grand Canal?A．It took six years to complete its first section.B．Even today, it is the longest man-made river in the world.C．Around a million people worked on the first part of the canal.D．It allowed Peking duck and the Peking opera to spread to southern China.13. What does the uderlined word “deteriorate” probably mean in Paragraph 3?A．Get worse. B．Get destroyed. C．Get shorter. D．Get repaired. 14. What might be the best heading for Paragraph 4?A．Renewed Importance. B．Cultural Connections.C．The Army’s Highway.D．The Origins of the Peking Opera.15. What happened to the Grand Canal in 2014?A．Construction of the Canal began.B．New parts of the Canal were built.C．The Grand Canal became a World Heritage Site.D．The Grand Canal was proposed as a UNESCO Heritage Site.二、七选五Don’t get me wrong-I love my parents very much. I know they love me too and would do anything to help me but sometimes they can be really embarrassing. Dad wanting to pick me up from school, Mum getting overexcited when she watches me playing football for the school team. 16 . My friends all complain about theirs from time to time. It seems a few cruel parents want to see their kids suffer on purpose, but others are just trying to be cool and fit in with our friends. There’s not really mu ch we can do about it, or is there? Here are a few tips I’ve come up with to make life just a little easier for all of us.Choose the behaviour you find most embarrassing17 . And then put them in order. Is the fact that your dad sings along to the radio when your friends are over for dinner worse than the fact that he always calls your best friend by the wrong name? By deciding which ones are worse means you’ll be free to focus your energy where you need it most.18When you’ve decided which issues you want to talk about, keep a diary of all the times your mum or dad do the things that embarrass you most. When, where and how you felt - make a note of all these things. They’ll help you put your case across.Have a family meetingIt’s time for a little face-to-face chat.The chances are that even if your parents are aware of doing these things, they prob-ably don’t realize how embarrassing they are. Keep calm. 19 . Let them have their say —they’ll probably want to defend themselves. Of cou rse, you’ll also have to be prepared to listen to some of the things that they don’t like about you. It’s part of the deal.Try and be more understandingHopefully your parents will listen and be willing to change their ways, especially if you say you’re h appy to change too. Of course, sometimes they might not. Re-member that they once had their own embarrassing parents, and the chances are many of us will be embarrassing parents ourselves one day. 20 .A．Discuss the issuesB．Collect the evidenceC．And I know it’s not just meD．Let them know how you feel and whyE．Maybe we shouldn’t be too hard on themF．Write down the things that you feel happyG．Write a list of all the things you find embarrassing三、完形填空The joys of getting lostMost of us like to know where we are and where we’re going. It canfeel_________to be lost. The words “being lost” make us_________a dark wood, or a dark city street: threatening and scary. But that’s not always the case.When I was twelve, my family were_________in Venice. My dad’s a crazy photographer and he said that he was going to take_________as the sun came up.Mum wasn’t interested, but I said I_________go with him.So at 5 am the following morning we_________the hotel.

AAdvice to English learnersLearners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their ability.First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “ fashionable”(时髦).Thirdly, listen to the English news programme over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in “special English” from the VOA or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.1．This is a piece of advice to learners of English in how to_____.A. improve their listening abilityB. read fastC. write better English and read fastD. speak correctly2.If you want to understand the English news programme on the radio, you should_________.A. read the Chinese-language newspaper carefullyB. read again and again the Chinese-language newspaperC. go through the Chinese-language newspaperD. be able to recite the Chinese-language newspaper3．“Beyond your level” means something_______.A. easy for youB. too difficult for youC. not too easy and not too difficult for youD. just all right for you4.The author advised that once you have taken up a course, you should_______.A. stick to itB. begin with the last bookC. take up other courses if you are more fashionableD. not do anything else5．In this passage, VOA stands for______.A. a bookB. a magazineC. a textbookD. a radio stationBA serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retried employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cov er their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take responsibili ty for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately , as the prese nt situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish someworkplaces especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.6.What is the passage mainly about?A. The problem faced by the old in society.B. Why we should take responsibility for the old.C. How we can improve the lives of the oldD. Where the old can go to get their pensions.7.According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retireB. Increase saving levels of people during their working yearsC. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the oldD. Make available pensions for those who have retired8.The underlined word “viable” most probably means ____.A. impossibleB. practicalC. usefulD. successful9.What can be concluded from the passage?A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.B. Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.C. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.D. There is no single solution to the problem of the old.10.What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this article?A. To point out the need for government supporting for old people.B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.C. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.CThe following is a timetable in Shanghai Pudong International Airport．11．A man wants to take Flight 178 to Tokyo． Which gate should he go to?A．14 B．28 C．21 D．1812．Lisa is at gate 23． Where is she going?A．Paris B．Beijing C．Tokyo D．New York13．Now it’s 10:40． Mary is at gate 20．Which airline’s plane will she take?A．British Airways B．Japanese AirlinesC．Pan American D．Air Canada14．Gate _______ is the busiest among all these gates．A．23 B．18 C．24 D．1515．Which airline’s flights cover the longest route(行程)?A．CAAC B．Pan American C．British Airways D．Air CanadaDAs the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stres s, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.16. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _____.A. they regard working as their greatest enjoymentB. they believe that work is superior to relaxationC. they are traveling fast all the timeD. they are becoming busier with their work than ever before17. According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _____.A. strong will to hold out stressB. knowing the art of relaxationC. high sense of responsibilityD. having control over performance18. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?A. We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.B. Stress is always harmful to people's healthC. It's easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.D. Different people can bear different amount of stress.19. In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to _____.A. "expose ourselves to stress"B. "find ways to deal with stress"C. "remove stress from our lives"D. "establish links between diseases and stress"20. According to the author, the right attitude toward stress is _____.A. to avoid itB. to try to cope with itC. to regard it as a vital motivationD. to find some relaxation第二部分语言知识运用(共两节；满分35分)第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和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。
