On that day we send our mothers a special Mother's Day card, and perhaps some flowers or candy, to show our love and appreciation for all they have done for us. Although Mother's Day is a relatively new holiday in America, more and more other countries are also setting aside a day to honor their mothers.It all started over a hundred years ago with a woman named Anna May Jarvis. Anna was born on May 10,1864, just before the end of the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln. She was the daughter of a“minister”, which in American English means a church leader. She was a quiet girl who liked to study in school, but she liked everyone and was liked by everyone as well.After she graduated, Anna worked for life insurance company in Philadelphia, Then, in 1906, her mother died. It was the second Sunday in May.In the months that followed, Anna began to change. No longer was she so gentle, so relaxed and easy-going. Instead she now had just one goal for her life--to have her mother and all other honored throughout the whole world on the second Sunday of May.After more than a year of careful planning, Anna arranged the first Mother's Day church service, on May10, 1908, in Crafton, West Virginia. The next year Anna was able to get the city of Philadelphia, where she lived and worked, to proclaim the second Sunday of May as an official Mother's Day -- the first city to do so. After three more years, the state of West Virginia, where Anna's mother had lived, made Mother's Day a statewide observance--for a holiday in the normal sense, but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.51.Which answer is right about Mother's Day?A. In America, Mother's Day is a new holiday.B. More and more countries are put aside their tradition of celebrating Mother's Day.C. In America, Mother's Day is on the second Sunday in May.D. Throughout the world, Mother's Day is celebrated on the same day.52.Choose the right ex planation of the word“observance”in the last paragraph.A. remark made by peopleB. action in accordance with customC. performance of certain traditionD. notice paid widely53.How long in all had Anna spent to establish Mother's Day in West Virginia?A. from May 10, 1908 to May 10, 1911.B. for more than four years.C. for more than three years.D. for about three years.54.Choose the right understanding of this passage.A. Anna was born just before the assassination of President Lincoln which ended the Civil War.B. Anna was a daughter of a minister which in English means a church worker.C. Anna's mother's death had done a little damage to her easy life.D. The mother's day celebrated in West Virginia is a day with special meaning.55. What most probably happened in the following paragraph ?A. Mother's Day is celebrated in conventional celebration.B. Mother's Day gradually became a commercial celebration.C. Anna retired from her job with a fortune of over a hundred thousand dollars.D. People stopped buying candy to their mothers.BOne day a few years ago, a very funny thing happened to a neighbor of mine. He is a teacher at one of London's big medical schools. He had finished his teaching for the summer term and was at the airport on his way to Russia to give a lecture.He had put a few clothes and his lecture notes in his shoulder bag, and he had put Rupert, the skeleton(人体骨架) to be used in his lecture, in a large brown suitcase. At the airport desk, he suddenly thought that he had forgotten to buy a newspaper. He left his suitcase near the desk and went over to the shop.When he got back, he discovered that someone had taken his suitcase by mistake. He often wonders what they said when they got home and found Rupert.56. Who wrote the story?A. Rupert's teacher.B. The neighbor's teacher.C. A medical school teacher.D. The teacher's neighbor.57.

D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial.

We were busy buying some beautiful story books,a doll house,a holiday dress and toys.Then much to our surprise,on December24,she said she really wanted a bike more than anything else.Now we didn’t know what to do.It was just too late.We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing children’s presents,parents’present,a brother’s pre-sent and friends’presents till midnight,so there was no time to buy the“right bike”for our little girl. Thinking that we were parents who would make our child unhappy,we felt ashamed and sad.Suddenly my husband had an idea.“What if I make a little bike out of clay and write a note that she could trade in the model bike for a real one?”So he spent the next five hours carefully working with clay to make a small bike.On Christmas morning,we were so excited for Al-ice to open the little box with the beautiful red andwhite clay bike and the note.She opened and read the note loudly.She looked at me and her father and said,“So,does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real one?”Smiling,I said,“Yes.”Alice had tears in her eyes when she replied,“I would never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made me.I prefer to keep it rather than get a real bike.”At that moment,we would have moved the God to buy her every bike on the earth.36.Why did Alice want to a new bike?A.Because she didn’t have a bike.B.Because her bike was old.C.Because her bike was stolen.D.Because her bike was out of style.37.The underlined word“ashamed”in the third paragraph means in Chinese.A.内疚的B.可耻的C.紧张的D.不开心的38.Alice’s parents didn’t buy her a bike because.A.they didn’t have enough moneyB.they forgot itC.They got angry with herD.they thought she didn’t want it any more39.What did the parents do at last？A.They bought her a new bike.B.They said sorry to her.C.They made a clay bike for her.D.They did nothing.40.What can we conclude from the last para-graph?A.Alice preferred a real bike to the model one.B.Alice didn’t know the meaning of the note.C.Alice still wanted a real bike.D.Alice was greatly moved by what her father had done.Passage2If you take vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying,here are some shopping tips to give yourundivided attention to.Those who fly first class and don’t care how much airline tickets cost are excused from this lesson.1.When to buyIf you’re shopping for domestic flights,check prices on Tuesday afternoons.This is an old tip but still valid because most US carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday mornings,and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals.2.When to flyWeekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights.In the US specif-ically,the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday.A good itinerary（行程表）for the expensive US spring break travel period is Tuesday to Saturday;it won’t be cheap exactly,but it will save your money（in most cases）over week-end-to-weekend travel.3.Where to flyWe continue to see good deals to Boston and Denver and more and more nice prices to Chicago, Seattle and Washington, D.C.As for Europe,there have been incredible deals throughout the autumn and those will continue into the tely we’ve seen prices fall for London,while Dublin,Paris and Scandinavia continue to be good value.4.Direct vs.connecting flightsCompare the price of direct with connecting flights.Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money,and it might be enough to endure the extra-long flying day.Some examples:Boston to Seattle:$247direct,$234one-stopSan Francisco to Raleigh/Durham:$553direct, $362one-stopOkay,the savings on Boston-Seattle might not be worth it to you,but I’ll bet you’ll think twice about the direct flight for San Francisco to Raleigh.pare,compare,compareStifle the impulse to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing any companson;it’s a recipe for disaster.Example:Let’s say you want to fly from New York to London and figure your favorite US legacy carrier will get you there for the best price.Airline price:$554round-tripComparison price:$486Obviously,the legacy carrier did not have the cheapest flight,but wait,there’s more.The comparison site also showed a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier（$521）.See what you’re missing when you fail to compare？41.The best price for flights within the US could most possibly be found on.A.Monday morningB.Tuesday morningC.Tuesday afternoonD.Sunday morning42.Ticket buyers are advised to.A.choose direct flights rather than connecting onesB.take the cheapest deal from their favorite airlineC.avoid weekend-to-weekend flights in holiday seasonsD.look for flight deals to Europe throughout the summer43.According to the passage,how much does it cost to fly directly from Boston to Seattle?A.$247.B.$234.C.$553.D.$362.44.The underlined phrase“stifle the impulse”probably means.A.feel free to do somethingB.hold off on doing somethingC.get well prepared for somethingD.make quick decision about something45.What kind of people does this passage intend to?A.Those who have urgent business.B.Those who usually fly first class.C.Those who are too busy to take a vacation.D.Those who want to save money when planning their vacation.Passage3I’d always wondered what the point of travellingwas.If we’re only going to end up back in our daily routine（日常事务）anyway,aren’t we just cheating ourselves?Sept27is World Tourism Day.It also happens to be exactly three months from the day my three friends and I left for a one-week trip to Philippines,to learn scuba diving(水肺潜水).It wasn’t the typical relaxing vacation that most people would have taken.We spent our first morning sitting in a room watching tutorial（教学的）videos, while the rest of the days we would practise what we had learned from the video with our instructor,first in the pool and then in the sea.Every day,we had to dress ourselves up in a tight diving suit and a jacket with a heavy steel tank on the back.But somehow,the experience changed us.For starters,it allowed us to get to know ourselves better.When we had to fully concentrate on our breathing underwater—even a little bit of difference in the amount of air we breathed in or out could have changed our buoyancy（浮力）—we started to realize that we had never truly“felt”ourselves breathe.And its influence continues.During the three months after the trip,we have visited two diving exhibitions—something we wouldn’'t have been interested in before—where we learned about free diving,which is diving holding your breath, without an extra supply of air.We were fascinated and signed up for free diving courses without hesitation. Just like that,we got ourselves another new hobby.The trip also gave me the idea of documenting our underwater adventure in the form of a film.I knew nothing about filmmaking,so I decided to teach myself how to use movie-editing software.Two months later,I ended up with a pretty satisfactory20-minute-long film,and I now can add“moviemaker”to my list of achievements,next to“scuba diver”.Six months ago,did I expect all these new experiences would be in my future?Of course not.So while it may be true that there’s no escape from our daily routine,at least by traveling we can always escape our“old self”,and maybe even pick up some new skills.46.The main aim for the author to write this article is to.A.share her diving experienceB.describe her passion for scuba divingC.encourage readers to learn to diveD.explore the purpose of traveling47.How long did the author spend in learning scuba diving？A.About one week.B.About two months.C.About three months.D.About six months.48.During their trip to Philippines,the author and her friends.A.enjoyed a typical relaxing vacationB.found it easy to breathe under the seaC.spent most of their time learning and practising divingD.went diving in the sea right after watching tutorial videos49.How did the trip to Philippines influence the author？A.She learned a lot about free diving there.B.She developed a new hobby as well as new skills.C.She no longer took buoyancy for granted.D.She improved her concentration and courage.50.What message does the author intend to tell us in the passage?A.Traveling lets us discover a new side of ourselves.B.Traveling is a time for adventure.C.Traveling is a good way to relax.D.Traveling is simply an escape from our daily routines.Passage4Many people in China don’t like to spend a lot of time outdoors in the hottest months of the year,when temperatures can become very high.But Britain,which doesn’t get many sunny days,has a different attitude toward summer.Most British people love sunshine,and they spend as much time as they can outdoors on sunny days.In Britain,a series of two or more days at25℃and over is usually called a“heat wave”,and the whole country seems to become excited if such weather is reported.News reports and social media become filled with talk about the upcoming heat and sunshine.Indeed,British newspaper Metro recently wrote:“A spell of beautiful weather is about to hit us, bringing temperatures of up to30℃”.British people like to take advantage of good weather—it brings them together.For example,adults will drink beer outside pubs, young people will play soccer in the park with their friends,and the smell of barbecue smoke will fill the air,as people hold garden parties with friends and relatives.Although British summers are generally mild,they can also be unpredictable.Quit often,a short period of sunshine is followed by days of cold air and heavy rain.Young people usually put up with bad weather, but adults tend to complain about it.Some of them even blame the rain on weather forecasters.But good weather can cause a lot of drama,too. During heat waves—whose temperatures usually don’t get higher than25℃—people often complain that it is “too hot”,and some even demand to leave work early.The Trades Union Congress,an English and Welsh workers’union,is even trying to introduce a rule that forbids employers from making their employees work when the temperature outside is over 30℃.Just imagine that rule in Asia—every business would be empty in the summer.Still,even if Britain does not have the perfect climate,it’s always a lovely place to travel to in the summer.And if you’re lucky enough to visit on a sunny day,you will see British people coming together to relax and enjoy themselves.51.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.British people hate outdoor activities in summer because of heat.B.It is always cold and rainy in British summer.C.Barbecuing is a popular activity in Britain during good weather.D.British weather forecasters often make mistakes.52.According to the passage,a British“heat wave”refers to those days when the temperature.A.breaks a local recordB.reaches30℃C.keeps rising two days in a rowD.goes past25℃for more than two days53.How will most British people feel if there is“a heat wave”?A.Sad.B.Angry.C.Excited.D.Disappointed.54.What will the Trades Union do if the weather gets higher than30℃?A.It will forbid employers from making their employees work.B.It will demand workers to leave work early.C.It will forbid employees from working.D.It will blame the weather forecasters.55.What can we learn from the last three paragraphs?A.British people spend most of their time traveling during sunny days.B.British employers often receive requests to leave work early during heat waves.C.British workers can choose to work at home if they find the weather too hot.D.Most British people are proud of their mild climate in summer.非选择题IV.Writing（40points）1.网上购物（shopping online）越来越普遍。

Choose the best answer.Passage 1It was two months before Christmas，when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bike. Her Barbi bike was just too old，and it needed repairing as well.As Christmas came nearer，her dream for a bike seemed to disappear，or so we thought，for she didn 't mention it again. We were busy buying some story books，a doll house，a holiday dress and toys. Then much to our surprise，on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike more than anything else.Now we didn' t know what to do. It was just too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing children’s presents，parents’presents，a brother's present and friends’presents till midnight. So there was no time to take to buy the“right bike”for our little girl. Thinking that we were parents who would make their child unhappy，we felt ashamed and sad.Suddenly my husband had an idea. “What if I make a little bike out of clay(泥土)and write a note that she could trade in(交换) the model bike for a real one？”So he spent the next five hours carefully working with clay to make a small bike.On Christmas morning，we were so excited for Almie Rose to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened and read the note loudly. She looked at me and Ron and said.“So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real one？” Smiling, I said, “Yes.” Almie Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I would never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real bike.”At that moment，we would have moved the God to buy her every bike on the earth.36. Why did Almie want a new bike？A. Because she didn't have a bike.B. Because her bike was old.C. Because her bike was stolen.D. Because her bike was out of style.37. The underlined word“ashamed”in the third paragraph means in Chinese.A.内疚的B.可耻的C.紧张的D.不开心的38. Almie's parents didn’t buy her a bike because .A. they didn’t have enough moneyB. they forgot itC. they got angry with herD. they thought she didn’t want it any more39. What did the parents do at last？A. They bought her a new bike.B. They said sorry to her.C. They made a clay bike for her.D. They did nothing.40. What can we conclude from the last paragraph？A. Almie preferred a real bike to the model one.B. Almie didn't know the meaning of the note.C. Almie still want a real bike.D. Almie was greatly moved by what her father had done.Passage 2If you take vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying. Here are some shopping tips to give your undivided attention to：1. When to buyIf you are shopping for domestic flights，check prices on Tuesday afternoons. This is an old tip but still valid because most US carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday morning，and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals.2. When to flyWeekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In the US specifically the cheapest days are typically Tuesday，Wednesday and Saturday. A good itinerary for the expensive US spring break travel period is Tuesday to Saturday；it won't be cheap exactly，but it will save you money(in most cases) over weekend-to-weekend travel.3. Direct vs. connecting flightsCompare the price of direct with connecting flights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money，and it might be enough to endure the extra-long flying day.Some examples：Boston to Seattle：$247 direct, $234 one-stopSan Francisco to Raleigh/Durham： $553 direct，$362 one-stopOkay, the savings on Boston—Seattle might not be worth it to you，but I'll bet you'll think twice about the direct flight for San Francisco to Raleigh.4. Compare, Compare, CompareStifle the impulse to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing any comparison；it's a recipe for disaster.Example：Let's say you want to fly from New York to London and figure your favorite US legacy carrier will get you there for the best price.Airline price：$554 round-trip Comparison price：$486Obviously，the legacy carrier did not have the cheapest flight, but wait, there's more：the comparison site also showed a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier($521). See what you're missing when you fail to compare？41. The best price for flights within the US could most possibly be found on .A. Monday morningB. Tuesday afternoonC. Thursday morningD. Sunday morning42. Ticket buyers are advised to .A. choose direct flights rather than connecting onesB. take the cheapest deal from their favorite airlineC. look for flight deals to Europe throughout the summerD. avoid weekend-to-weekend flights in holiday seasons43. According to the passage,how much does it cost to fly directly from Boston to Seattle？A. $247.B. $234.C. $553.D. $362.44. The underlined phrase“Stifle the impulse” probably means .A. feel free to do somethingB. hold off on doing somethingC. get well prepared for somethingD. make quick decisions about something45. What kind of people does this passage intend to？A. Those who have urgent business.B. Those who usually fly first class.C. Those who are too busy to take a vacation.D. Those who want to save money when planning their vacation.Passage 346—50缺题。

Later,while my parents were helping the farmer on the farm,I helped feed the other animals,and then played with the farmer’s kids.Decades later,I still have vivid memories of that trip.It made me realize the value of a vacation,of seeing new things,meeting new people and sharing memorable experiences with family members.Even today I still think of that family trip when I plan my holiday trip with my wife and kids.Vacations are a time for resting and connecting.As a bank manager,I spend much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money.One of the reasons I give is that we should all have enough for a family vacation every year.In our busy lives,family is what we should be saving our money and time for.For my family,our vacations start when we begin planning the trips.We talk about destinations and our budget ahead of time.Among the things we discuss are: Can we save money by renting a house instead of spending six nights in a hotel?Would it be better to buy groceries and cook for ourselves rather than eat out every night?Involving the kids in planning the vacation makes sure that they have a great vacation too.While I prefer to visit historical sites and museums,they love to fish and swim.So I build in some relaxation time so that the vacation works for everyone.Each year,setting aside vacation time to spend together is especially important to us.A relaxing environment opens the doors to all kinds of conversations—deep,silly,meaningful.There’s no pressure from the usual everyday tasks.This is the one week a year when I don’t care whether my kids have cleaned their room or done the dishes.What matters that week is that everyone is having a great time.46.During his most unforgettable vacation,the author______.A.lived a week like a real farmer’s kidB.found that farm work is tiring and boringC.felt farm life was much harder than living in a cityD.helped his parents with housework all week47.What is the author?A.A farmer.B.A teacher.C.A bank manager.D.A travel agent.48.The author explains that since he grew up, he_____.A.can hardly remember the details of the trip to the farmB.always wants to go back to that farm with his wife and kidsC.has been too busy to enjoy the vacation againD.thinks of his trip to the farm when organizing family vacations49.Which of the following is TRUE about the author and his family?A.They usually discuss the details of a trip before traveling.B.The author’s kids don’t like to take trips with him.C.The author is strict with his kids,even during holiday trips.D.They usually separate and spend their vacation in different places.50.What is the main idea of this passage?A.It’s important for people to plan and have wonderful family vacations.B.Memories in childhood can last very long and influence us a lot.C.We should travel as much as possible to give ourselves a rest.D.The value of a vacation is to experience a totally different lifestyle.Passage4When touchscreen smartphone entered our lives more than a decade ago,they redefined what a“phone”is.Being our MP3player,camera,game console（游戏机）,dictionary,computer,and map all at the same time,the smartphone soon became something we couldn’t live without.On Sept13,2017,Apple,one of the lead producers of smartphones,released its new iPhone X, and consumers and journalists everywhere went crazy. They were all curious to see what Apple’s latest smartphone would offer.Ever since its launch in2007,the iPhone has completely changed the way that people interact.It has become like a part of the body—a third hand or an extra eye.Because smartphones have become so important in our lives,we’ve even started to develop relationships with them.As tech writer Tom Chaffield commented to Newsweek,“What Apple did is to take things that other people have developed,and turn it into an object of desire and affection,something that people would accept as an extension of their identity.”But is it necessarily a good thing that we should be so attached to a device,whether it be an iPhone or some other smartphones?Shouldn’t we really be trying to forge relationships with other people,rather than objects?It’s an argument commonly heard.The response to it might be that smartphones are phones after all;they’re just devices to talk to other people on.But that doesn’t fully answer the objections.With our smartphones,we’re connected to other people and to the world,but not in the way that most of us would hope.Some people complain that smartphones,as well as tablet computers and other devices,are destroying our personal lives.The devices lock us into the“out-side”world,and lock us out of the world of family and friends.Perhaps we should stop and consider whether we’ve lost the right balance in life.We can’t go back to the world before the smartphone revolution,that’s for sure,but we can surely find ways to enjoy the advan-tages they bring,without forgetting that,at the end of the day,they’re the means to an end,not the end it-self.51.What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?A.To promote Apple’s latest smartphone.B.To describe the benefits of smartphones.C.To inform us of the smartphone revolution.D.To analyze the impacts of smartphones on our lives.52.Tom Chaffield’s comment is quoted in the passage mainly to explain______.A.how iPhones are different from other smart-phonesB.how iPhones help people stay connectedC.why people are so attached to their iPhonesD.how iPhones allow users to show their identity53.The underlined word“forge”in Paragraph5is closest in meaning to_____.A.formB.ignoreC.copyD.imagine54.According to the second paragraph from bottom,smartphones_______.A.make people lose their privacyB.separate people from their loved onesC.have more advantages than disadvantagesD.help people establish deeper connections with each other55.What does the author advise us to do?A.Stop using smartphones.B.Take advantage of smartphones wisely.C.Treat smartphones as our friends.D.Live a balanced life with the help of smart-phones.非选择题IV.Writing（40points）1．广场舞（square dancing）流行，有人支持有人反对。
