Center?A.It was built and named for New York Senator Jacob K.Javits.B.It is the largest convention center in New York City.C.It is owned by the New York City Convention Center Operating Corporation.D.It is a marketplace to host conventions,trade shows and special events.2.If you go to Javits Convention Center on December15,you’re probably interested in________.A.womanly artB.agricultural produce tradeC.sales forceD.talent shows3.To know more about the events you can________.A.phone the CenterB.log in and start automaticallyC.sign up at the websitesD.search the relevant websitesBIf your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands,you might have a hard time believing the news:e-mail is on the decline.At first thought,that might seem to be the case.The incoming generation,after all, doesn’t do e-mail.Oh,they might have an account.They use it only as we would use a fax machine:as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites.They rarely check it,though.Today’s instant electronic memos—such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages—are more direct,more concentrated,more efficient.They go without the salutation(称呼语)and the signoff(签收);we already know the“to”and“from.”Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason:more signal,less noise and less time.This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated.Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later,I can now send you an easily-read message that you can read—and respond to—on the go.The coming of the mobile era is responsible for the decline of e-mail.Instant written messages bring great convince to people.They can deal with them at about any time:before a movie,in a taxi,waiting for lunch.And because these messages are very brief,they’re suitable for smart phone typing.Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history?Not necessarily.E-mail still has certain advantages.On the other hand,tweets and texts feel ephemeral—you read them,then they’re gone,into an endless string,e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file,search and return to later.It’s easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications:agreements,important new sand longer explanations.So,e-mail won’t go away completely.Remember,we’ve been through atransition(过度)like this not so long ago:when e-mail was on the rise,people said that postal mail was dead.That’s not how it works.Postal mail found its smaller market,and so will e-mail.New technology rarely replaces old one completely;it just adds new alternatives.4.What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts?A.Contact close friends.B.Send long messages.C.Fill in some forms.municate with their colleagues.5.Which of the following is mainly discussed in paragraphs3and4?A.The possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail.B.The likes and dislikes of the young generation.C.The rapid development of e-communication channels.D.Evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages.6.What does the underlined word“ephemeral”in paragraph5mean?A.Automatically-sending.B.Randomly-written.C.Hardly-recognized.D.Shortly-appearing.7.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?A.It’s too early to determine the decline of e-mail.B.E-mail has reasons to exist on its own advantages.C.E-mail,just like postal mail has come to its end.D.We should feel sorry for the decline of e-mail.CTime talks.It speaks more plainly than words.Time communicates in many ways.Consider the different parts of the day,for example.The day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event.Factory managers in the United Statesfully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work.In the United States,it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning.If you telephone him early in the day,while he is shaving or having breakfast,the time of the call shows that the matter is very urgent and requires immediate attention.It is the same with telephone calls made after11:00pm.If someone receives a call during sleeping hours,he probably thinks it is a matter of life or death.The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world.Thus, misunderstanding arises between people from cultures that treat time differently.In the United States,people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one cannot escape.As a rule,Americans think of time as a road into the future,along which one progresses.The road has many sections,which are to be kept separate“one thing at a time”.Thus,an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.Americans look ahead and are concerned almost entirely with the future.The American idea of the future is limited,however.It is the foreseeable future and not thefuture of involving many centuries.Since time has much different meanings in different cultures,communication is often difficult.We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.8.According to the passage,an announcement made during the day in a factory mustbe very important because______.A.it interrupts the work of all employeesB.it is made by the managerC.it makes everyone lose his jobD.it communicates in many ways9.In the United States,a phone call made after11:00p.m.is considered______,in theview of the writer.A.as important as one made in the early morningB.impolite since it disturbs the receiver’s sleepC.to be a threat to the receiver’s lifeD.even more urgent than one made early in the morning.10.The expression“the foreseeable future”means_______.A.the future which involves centuriesB.B.the future that one looks forward toC.the future that will not be far awayD.the future toward which one makes progress11.The writer concludes that people of different countries will understand each otherbetter if________.A.they keep in mind that different cultures treat time differentlyB.they are concerned with the futureC.they learn the way time communicatesD.they know how to communicate with each otherDtoward their ually,they appear strict and distant.But on the show,we see fathers are much gentler on their kids and more involved in their upbringing.This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society—what is the role of fathers in today’s China?A fascinating part of the show is that you can see many parenting styles.The five fathers on the show all have very diverse parenting styles,which is great because it shows people there isn’t just one way to raise a child.But Chinese parents increasingly realize that discussing and respecting their children’s choices may be a more appropriate way to prepare them for modern society.Meanwhile,the show can remind adults of their own childhood and the love of father.For those parents,they will rethink their own responsibility as parents and understand their kids better.12.The chief function of the underlined sentence(in Paragraph2)is_____.A.to sum up the main idea of the paragraphB.to introduce a new topicC.to arouse reader’s interestD.to express strong feelings13.What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A.Traditionally,children are left to be brought up by mothers alone in China.B.Modern Chinese fathers wonder how to treat their children.C.The role of fathers is changing in China.D.More and more mothers go out to work.14.Which of the following is NOT the reason for the show’s success?A.People are curious about celebrities’life and their kids.B.The show makes people reconsider father’s role in today’s China.C.The show displays various parenting styles.D.The audience think highly of the celebrities’parenting styles on the show.15.What is the best title of the passage?A.Why is Where Are We Going,Dad So Popular?B.The Great Success of Where Are We Going,Dad?C.What is the Role of Fathers in Today’s China?D.Various Parenting Styles in China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。

"How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf you were able to accomplish so much?"Ms. Keller's answer is a tribute (致敬) to her dedicated teacher. "If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”According to speaker Zig Ziglar, "Little Annie" Sullivan, as she was called when she was young, was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless herself and was, at one time, diagnosed as hopelessly "insane" by her caregivers. She was locked in the basement of a mental institution outside of Boston. On occasion, Little Annie would violently attack anyone who came near. Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.An elderly nurse believed there was hope, however, and she made it her mission to show love to the child. Every day she visited Little Annie. For the most part, the child did not acknowledge the nursed presence, but she still continued to visit. The kind woman left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement. She believed Little Annie could recover, if only she were shown love.Eventually, doctors noticed the change in the girl. Where they once witnessed anger and hatred, they now noted a gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly "hopeless'' child was released.Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she herself was helped by the kind nurse. It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller. She loved her, disciplined her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon of light to the world. Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helen'slife; but it was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a compassionate teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown." But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse, the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown.4．The dialogue between Queen Victoria and Helen Keller is mentioned mainly to . A．show a deep admiration for Helen KellerB．prove that Helen Keller made a great contributionC．begin telling the story of Helen Keller teacher Anne SullivanD．get the reader interested in how Helen Keller achieved so much5．What is the hardship mentioned in the third paragraph?A．Sullivan had a strange disease.B．Almost everyone ignored Sullivan.C．Sullivan was kept away from her parents.D．Sullivan was believed to have a mental problem.6．What can we conclude from the article?A．Sullivan liked the nurse from the very beginning.B．Sullivan experienced firsthand how terrible the life of a deaf child was.C．The elderly nurse had no doubt that Sullivan would be a great teacher.D．Without the nurse, Sullivan couldn't have helped Helen Keller later.7．Which of the following would be the best title for the article?A．The Power of LoveB．Making a DifferenceC．The Secret to Being a Good TeacherD．Similarities Between Anne and HelenIn general, the ancient Romans were a practical people. They cared less about philosophy and pure mathematics than did the Greeks. The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects. They were brilliant students of Greek geometry and trigonometry, and they applied their knowledge to the construction of fine bridges, roads, and public buildings.They knew about the smelting of iron ore, but they used the iron they produced mainly for spears, swords, and shields, rather than for building construction.While the Romans accomplished practical wonders, they did very little theoretical scientific thinking. Because of their frequent wars, many of their inventions were no more than improvements in the design of Greek weapons with which they were familiar.There are two reasons for the Roman neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics. First, they were apparently too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste much time on abstract thinking. Secondly, they were handicapped by the rigidity of their numerical system. (Try to multiply XI by LVII or to divide CXLIII by IX; it simply cannot be done with pencil and paper.) The Romans did all of their arithmetic on an abacus, the ancient counterpart of the modem computing machine. Their number system discouraged the study of pure mathematics.8．The author calls the Romans “practical" because they________.A．they didn't care about philosophyB．they just learned from Greek geometryC．they applied what they learned to constructionD．they thought little of theoretical scientific thinking9．According to the passage, the Romans excelled in________.A．smelting iron ore B．engineering and architecture C．improving Greek weapons D．producing spears, swords, and shields 10．The underlined word “counterpart" in the last paragraph means ________. A．equivalent B．calculatorC．appearance D．partner11．The passage mainly talks about ________.A．why Romans ignored mathematicsB．Romans' discouraging number systemC．how Romans accomplished practical wondersD．Romans who neglected theoretical thoughtYou know you have to read "between the lines" to get the most out of anything. I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. I want to persuade you to “write between the lines." Unless you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient kind of reading.I insist, quite bluntly, that marking up a book is not an act of damage but of love.There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property right you establish by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of purchase is only the first step to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. I am arguing that books must be absorbed in your bloodstream to do you any good.Why is marking up a book necessary to reading? First, it keeps you awake. (And I don't mean only conscious; I mean wide awake.) In the second place, reading, if it is active, is thinking and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.But, you may ask, why is writing necessary? Well, the physical act of writing, with your own hand, brings words and sentences more sharply before your mind and preserves them better in your memory. To set down your reaction to important words and sentences you have read, and the questions they have raised in your mind, is to preserve those reactions and sharpen those questions.If reading is to accomplish anything more than passing time, it must be active. You can't let your eyes glide across the lines in a book and come up with an understanding of what you have read. The books you read for pleasure can be read in a state of relaxation, and nothing is lost. An ordinary piece of light fiction, like "Gone with the Wind," doesn't require the most active kind of reading, and you don't absorb the ideas of John Dewey the way you absorb the story of David Copperfield.You may also say that this business of marking books is going to slow up your reading. It probably will. That's one of the reasons for doing it. Most of us have been taken in by the notion that speed of reading is a measure of our intelligence. There is no such things as the right speed for intelligent reading. Some things should be read quickly and effortlessly, and some should be read slowly and even laboriously. The sign of intelligence in reading is the ability to read different things differently according to their worth. In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through you — how many you can make your own. A few friends are better than a thousand acquaintances. If this be your aim, as it should be, you will not be impatient if it takes more time and effort to read a great book than it does a newspaper.12．Full ownership of a book does not occur until ________.A．it is purchased B．it is read between the linesC．it is written between the lines D．it is worn, shaken and loosened 13．The main advantage of marking up a book is ________.A．to keep you from feeling sleepyB．to show that you are absorbed in readingC．to make yourself conscious that you are reading activelyD．to make yourself a part of it, making further understanding possible14．The author most probably agrees that ________.A．Gone with the Wind and David Copperfield are not thought-through books B．Marking a book can help preserve your questions about what is readC．Reading will benefit us more if it is done activelyD．Intelligent people usually read quickly and differently15．The purpose of this passage is ________.A．to tell the readers how to read different booksB．to encourage the readers to read slowly but activelyC．to argue that the readers should read between linesD．to introduce ways to mark up a book while reading二、七选五Travel is one of the activities people carry out most often during their spare time. Although travel may cost a lot of money, most people like to travel. Maybe, for them, to broaden their horizons and to be happy and healthy, are more important than money. 16．The following tips on travel may help you if you plan to travel later on.17．If you want to enjoy a wonderful trip, you should think carefully about where to go. After making a decision, you should seek others' advice and try to know more about the place that you are going to, including how to get there, the cost, the sights you plan to visit, and so on.Consider travel insurance. 18．Once such injury or accident happens to you, you may not have to suffer both physically and financially as long as you have travel insurance.Do not forget medicines. Always remember to carry your first aid box and necessary medicines for a cold, infection, stomach upset, injuries, etc. Since you are travelling away from home, you may not have family members to care for you when you fall ill. 19．Mind your basic safety. It's easy to let your guard down when you travel. After all, you'remore relaxed and there are so many new sights to focus on. 20．So, watch out for your personal safety at all times.A．Being a money-saving traveller has never been easy.B．Know more about the place you plan to visit.C．However, nothing is more important than your life.D．Ask your friends for opinions about where to go.E.Travel can be a wonderful experience and a sweet memory.F.So, take extra care of yourself and be ready for everything.G.Especially if you plan to take part in adventure activities, you may get injured.三、完形填空Miss Avery, my fifth-grade teacher, was a farm girl who was 21 to work hard and make something of herself She let us know she wanted to teach us the values her parents had given hen She 22 we learn the meaning of "kindheartedness". And all year, Miss Avery kept on the blackboard this sentence: “Have a（n）23 that never hardens, a temper that never tries, a touch that never hurts.”Never? I was 24 if I could meet such standards. Miss Avery reminded us that we all 25 , but that direction matters: a goal to pursue and values to have and to uphold — in her phrase, “a larger vision.”Those three words were transformed by her to something 26 that stood before us every day: the flag of America. She was 27 telling each of us, “This is your country.” She took pains to explain what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they fought for independence.It wasn’t that she wanted us to 28 ta king an honest look at America’s past and present life. On the contrary, we spent a lot of time learning about the mistakes and 29 committed over the generations. We learned about slavery and the long struggle of the black for their rights.Every day, we sang our national anthem and proudly 30 our nation’s flag. Every day, too, we had a history lesson right after that 31 of loyalty. Miss Avery asked that we put ourselves in the shoes of the presidents and other leaders whose achievements and misdeeds we were 32 . We were asked to take 33 and argue a point of view before our classmates — with respect, say, to the Revolutionary War or the Civil War.These days, I notice classrooms without the flag. Many teachers tell me that the salute (敬礼) to the flag never 34 in their school. Some of them say they hate extreme patriotism (爱国主义) —35 loyalty to a nation. I respect a spirit of skepticism, but children also need 36 — something and someone to trust, to hold up as worthy of admiration.It is important that our children keep in mind not only the errors made in our nation’s past but also the social, 37 , and racial struggles carried on with 38 that have led to a decent life for millions of us. We have good reason to want our children to appreciate this country and to 39 the flag as its symbol, even as we expect them to become citizens unafraid to look at what still needs to be done if a nation’s ideals are to become its everyday 40 .21．A．paid off B．brought up C．taken over D．pulled up 22．A．insisted B．forced C．determined D．persuaded 23．A．enthusiasm B．confidence C．faith D．heart 24．A．doubtless B．anxious C．skeptical D．concerned 25．A．slip B．pursue C．succeed D．split 26．A．obvious B．accessible C．concrete D．relevant 27．A．regularly B．constantly C．consequently D．occasionally 28．A．avoid B．risk C．permit D．consider 29．A．injustices B．accidents C．offenses D．regrets 30．A．respected B．honored C．admired D．raised 31．A．behavior B．exercise C．symbol D．sense 32．A．judging B．praising C．criticizing D．studying 33．A．ideas B．care C．attitudes D．sides 34．A．wears off B．takes place C．shows up D．comes out 35．A．strong B．personal C．absolute D．national 36．A．approval B．power C．belief D．sympathy 37．A．economic B．historic C．painful D．challenging 38．A．failure B．success C．joy D．respect 39．A．confess B．wave C．acknowledge D．believe 40．A．routine B．life C．task D．reality四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（一个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

On the other hand, tweets and texts feel ephemeral—you read them, then they’re gone, into an endless string, e-mail still feels like something you have and that you ca n file, search and return to later. It’s easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications:agreements, important new sand longer explanations.So, e-mail won’t go away completely. Remember, we’ve been through a transition (过度) like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That’s not how it works. Postal mail found its smaller market, and so will e-mail. New technology rarely replaces old one completely; it just adds new alternatives.4. What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts?A. Contact close friends.B. Send long messages.C. Fill in some forms.D. Communicate with their colleagues.5. Which of the following is mainly discussed in paragraphs 3 and 4?A. The possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail.B. The likes and dislikes of the young generation.C. The rapid development of e-communication channels.D. Evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages.6. What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Automatically-sending.B. Randomly-written.C. Hardly- recognized.D. Shortly-appearing.7. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. It’s too earl y to determine the decline of e-mail.B. E-mail has reasons to exist on its own advantages.C. E-mail, just like postal mail has come to its end.D. We should feel sorry for the decline of e-mail.CTime talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work.In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very urgent and requires immediate attention. It is the same with telephone calls made after 11:00pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he probably thinks it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstanding arises between people from cultures that treat time differently. In the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one cannot escape. Asa rule, Americans think of time as a road into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections, which are to be kept separate “one thing at a time”. Thus, an American may feel angr y when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.Americans look ahead and are concerned almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the foreseeable future and not the future of involving many centuries. Since time has much different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.8. According to the passage, an announcement made during the day in afactory must be very important because ______.A. it interrupts the work of all employeesB. it is made by the managerC. it makes everyone lose his jobD. it communicates in many ways9. In the United States, a phone call made after 11:00p.m. is considered______, in the view of the writer.A. as important as one made in the early morningB. impolite since it disturbs the receiver’s sleepC. to be a threat to the receiver’s lifeD. even more urgent than one made early in the morning.10. The expression “the foreseeable future” means _______.A.the future which involves centuriesB. B. the future that one looks forward toC. the future that will not be far awayD. the future toward which one makes progress11. The writer concludes that people of different countries willunderstand each other better if ________.A. they keep in mind that different cultures treat time differentlyB. they are concerned with the futureC. they learn the way time communicatesD. they know how to communicate with each otherDProduced by Hunan Satellite TV, Where Are We Going, Dad? invites five male celebrities from different fields and their children to spend quality time together in new environments while accomplishing various survival tasks.Since it first aired in January,2013, Where Are We Going, Dad? has been sweeping the whole nation and has become China’s most popular show, averaging more than 600 million viewers each week and 640 million downloads online. Even the China Daily, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese government praised its success, “The deep affection ondisplay in the show is heart-warming.”But what accounts for the show’s popularity?Part of the appeal is the chance to peek into the lives of popular Chinese celebrities and their children. Audiences are delighted to watch the failed attempts of celebrity dads making dinner, combing hair, and disciplining children. At the same time, the cute kids themselves and their authentic and entertaining behaviors are very impressive and attractive.“Another reason for the success of the show lies in the fact that it is a reexamination of the father's role in traditional Chinese culture,” said the general director of the show. In a society still influenced by the concept that “men rule outside and women inside.”, many Chinese fathers are poor at expressing their feelings toward their children. Usually, they appear strict and distant. But on the show, we see fathers are much gentler on their kids and more involved in their upbringing. This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society—what is the role of fathers in today’s China?A fascinating part of the show is that you can see many parenting styles. The five fathers on the show all have very diverse parenting styles, which is great because it shows people there isn’t just one way to raise a child. But Chinese parents increasingly realize that discussing and respecting their children’s choices may be a more appropr iate way toprepare them for modern society. Meanwhile, the show can remind adults of their own childhood and the love of father. For those parents, they will rethink their own responsibility as parents and understand their kids better.12. The chief function of the underlined sentence (in Paragraph 2) is_____.A. to sum up the main idea of the paragraphB. to introduce a new topicC. to arouse reader’s interestD. to express strong feelings13. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A. Traditionally, children are left to be brought up by mothers alone in China.B. Modern Chinese fathers wonder how to treat their children.C. The role of fathers is changing in China.D. More and more mothers go out to work.14. Which of the f ollowing is NOT the reason for the show’s success?A. People are curious about celebrities’ life and their kids.B. The show makes people reconsider father’s role in today’s China.C. The show displays various parenting styles.D. The audience think hi ghly of the celebrities’ parenting styles on the show.15. What is the best title of the passage?A. Why is Where Are We Going, Dad So Popular?B. The Great Success of Where Are We Going, Dad?C. What is the Role of Fathers in Today’s China?D. Various Parenting Styles in China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。

Worse still, I hardly ever read anything intranslation. My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors.So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from everycountry in a year to find out what I was missing. As I was unlikely to find publications from nearly200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, I decided to ask the planet’s readers for he created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titlesthat I could read in English.The response was amazing. Before I knew it, people all over the planet were getting in touchwith ideas and offers of help? Some posted me books from their home countries. Others didhours of research on my behalf. In addition, several writers sent me unpublished translations oftheir novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62% of theBritish who only speak English. Even so, selecting books was no easy task. With translationsmaking up only around 4.5 percent of literary works published in the UK and Ireland, gettingEnglish versions (版本) of stories was difficult.But the effort was worth it. I found I was visiting the mental space of the storytellers. Thesestories not only opened my mind to the real life in other places, but opened my heart to the waypeople there might feel.And that in turn changed my thinking. Through reading the stories shared with me bybookish strangers around the globe, I realized I was not alone, but part of a network that spreadall over the planet.4. Which of the following might be found on the blog A Year of Reading the World?A. Lists of English version books.B. Research on English literature.C. Unfinished novels by British writers.D. Comments on English literature.5. Why was it hard for the author to select the right books to read?A. The author was really busy doing his work。

AThe Horizontal Oak: A life in NatureBy Poly Pullar,Growing up in a remote region of the S cottish Highlands, Polly Pullar’s childhood was pleasant, simple, and peaceful. But the wild beauty formed a backdrop to a series of major family tragedies. This is the story of how she rebuilt her life from the ground up, supported by the natural world around herWildlife WalksBy Charlotte Varela,Bloomsbury,￡16.99Take a walk through the Wildlife Trusts' nature reserves with this handy guide that showcases some of our nation’s best forests, moors, woodlands and coastal locations. Each walk includes a description of the site, instructions on how to get there, available facilities and the route’s walking time.Where the Seals SingBy Susan Richardson,William Collins, ￡20Having long been fascinated by seals, Susan Richardson sets out to follow their pupping season (繁殖季). As she journeys from Cornwall to Norfolk, she learns more about these mystical creatures, while sharing personal stories about the comforting role they have played during times of grief or anxiety in her own life.In the Name of PlantsBy Sandra Knapp,University of Chicago Press, ￡20Botanist Sandra Knapp digs into the stories behind plant names, exploring the people who have been immortalized (使永生), from Benjamin Franklin to Lady Gaga. The 30 plants inside are accompanied by botanical drawings from the Natural History Museum.1．Which of the books does not involve a story?A．The Horizontal Oak: A Life in Nature B．Wildlife WalksC．Where the Seals Sing D．In the Name of Plants2．What can be inferred from the text?A．There are probably plants named after Lady Gaga.B．Susan Richardson introduces seals’ life in her book.C．Polly Pullar offers readers a tourist guide of Scottish Highlands.D. You can read Charl otte Varela’s book if you want to visit nature reserves by car. 3．Where can we most probably read the text？A．A geographic textbook. B．A travel brochure.C．A magazine on wildlife. D．A website about plants.BIt was June 14 and the last day of middle school had arrived.I had spent the past couple of months trashing and treasuring all the things that I had accumulated in my classroom over the past 19 years. Looking into my classroom, you can see about two dozen boxes and bins inside, piled nearly three-quarters high to the ceiling, all packed and ready for the big move. The 22- million-dollar restoration work was only days away from starting and we were instructed that everything must go.My parents Michael and Donna, wife Laura and newborn baby Summer had arrived that day. The students had heard so much about my daughter and were excited to meet her for the first time. My mother was there to help organize my classroom nearly 19 years ago and hadn’t seen it since. My father had visited on a few occasions, as had my wife. That day marked not only the end of an era for me, but the dawning of a new beginning.The day before, I had thrown a party for my students. The feelings were mixed, as I knew that this would be the farewell (告别) party in my classroom of 19 years and the last time I would see all of these students together. I thought back to when they were all in middle school and would visit me in my classroom on my birthday. They made it an annual tradition. I will treasure these moments for the rest of my life.Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe (敌人), a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk. I’ve learned over the years in working with over 2, 000 children that looking at things from an optimistic perspective and taking the time to foster relationships with people make the world a happier and safer place. No matter what a person’s life circumstances may be, you can be the change in their life that will bring them a sense of self-worth, which will ultimately provide them with the opportunity to become who they are meant to be. They might go on to change the world.4．Why did the author pack his things in the classroom?A．He was doing a cleaning.B．He would quit his job as a teacher.C．The classroom would soon be restored.D．His students were graduating from middle school.5．Why are the writer’s family members mentioned in paragraph 3? .A．To explain the family’s relations with his students.B．To demonstrate the family’s involvement in his job.C．To list the family’s contribution to the classroom.D．To show the family’s expectations for a new beginning.6．What does the writer intend to convey in the last paragraph?A．Think of the end in every beginning.B．Change happens for better or for worse.C．It is no good feeling attached to a place.D．A positive attitude brings forth good changes.7．What’s the tone of the writer in writing the article?A．Bittersweet. B．Sad. C．Excited. D．Unconcemed.COne of the many aspects of “normal”life that SARS-CoV-2 took away was the enjoyment of live musical performances. With the easing of lockdowns and restrictions in many parts of the world, performers can entertain audiences once again, but concerns about spreading the virus remain. Now, a research reported in ACS Environmental Au have studied aerosol (悬浮颗粒) production from playing wind instruments, singing and acting, allowing them to develop recommendations to minimize COVID transmission.Early in the pandemic, COVID-19 outbreaks from choir performances indicated that singing carries a potential infection risk, but less is known about the risks of airborne infection from wind instruments. To help keep performers, audiences and music students safe, Tehya Stockman, Shelly Miller and colleagues wanted to examine aerosol production and flow in the air from various musical activities, as well as test different solutions.The researchers examined the extent and speed of air circulation, or small drops of substances, coming from singers’and actors’mouths and from wind instruments, such as the flute, clarinet (单簧管), trumpet and saxophone. They also measured airborne aerosols and carbon dioxide levels exhaled from the performers. They found that aerosol concentrations coming from the bell of a clarinet were comparable to singing. Placing a surgical mask over a singer’s face or over the clarinet bell sharply reduced the extent and speed of air circulation and decreased aerosol concentrations in front of the masks. The team then used these measurements to model virus transmission in indoor and outdoor environments, finding that the lowest risk of airborne COVID-19 infection occurred at less than 30 minutes of exposure indoors and less than 60 minutes outdoors. These findings could help musical rehearsals and performances continue in a safer manner for musicians and audiences, the researchers say.8．What is the purpose of the research?A．To remove lockdowns and restrictions.B．To promote live musical performances.C．To find ways to reduce spread of the virus.D．To reduce aerosol production from instruments.9．What have the researchers done to keep people safe?A．They have increased air flow from various musical activities.B．They have indicated that singing carries a possible infection risk.C．They have tried to measure the risk of infection from instruments.D．They have found out approaches to preventing aerosol production.10．What does the underlined word “exhale” mean in Paragraph 3?A．breath out B．give away C．take in D．test out11．Which of the following is a finding of the research?A．Less than 30 minutes of exposure indoors avoids virus transmission.B．Using a surgical mask can reduce the risks of airborne virus infection.C．The manner of the musicians and audiences affects the risks of infection.D．Aerosol concentrations from a clarinet is much more obvious than singing.DCan you imagine there being a community where boys and girls growing up together can finally speak different 1anguages? In Ubang, Nigeria, it really happens. It’s not exactly clear what percentage of the words in the men’s and women’s languages are different, but there are enough examples to make sentences sound different when spoken by the opposite sex. For “clothing”, men use the word “nki”, while women say “ariga”; “kitchi” means tree for men, while women say “okweng”. These are not just some slight pronunciation differences, but totally different words. “It’s almost like two different lexicons (词汇集),” a langua ge expert, Chi Chi Undie said. “There are a lot of words that men and women share in common, but there are others which are totally different depending on your sex. They don’t so und alike, and don’t have the same letters. They are completely different words.”Interestingly, both men and women are able to understand each other perfectly in Ubang, as both boys and girls grow up around their parents and get to learn both languages, but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue. It seems that there is a stage the male will reach and he discovers he is not using the rightful language. When he starts speaking the men’s language, you know the maturity is coming into him.No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began. Chi Chi Undie believes the two languages are the result of a “double-sex culture” where men and women operate and live in separate worlds that rarely come together. However, she admits this is a weak theory, as the double-sex culture is present in many parts of Africa, where there are no different languages for men and women.Today, with English words constantly entering the lexicon of young Nigerians, Ubang’s two languages are in danger of being lost forever. Worse still, neither the male nor female language is written down, so they both rely on young people passing them down to the next generation.12．What do we know about languages in Ubang?A．A majority of words are different in the two languages.B．Men and women speak completely different languages.C．Men and women have different pronunciation for the same word.D．There are obvious differences in languages between the opposite sex. 13．Why can men and women understand each other despite the differences?A．Their vocabularies sound alike.B．Their parents teach them both languages.C．The men can speak two different languages.D．They are exposed to both languages in childhood.14．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The origin of “double-sex culture” B．The formation of the two languages.C. Further exploration of other areas.D. Doubt about the language tradition. 15．Why are the two languages disappearing?A．Young people in Ugang use more English words.B．The two languages are too difficult for the young.C．Neither of the language is written down.D．The “double-sex culture” has changed.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读短文，从短文后选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Meals in that dining room were a time for four generations to become one. And always that grandfather clock stood like a trusted old family friend, watching over the story swapping and gentle kidding that were a part of our lives.As a child, the old clock fascinated me. Even more wonderful to me was my grandfather’s routine. He carefully wound that clock with a special key each day. I remember watching as my grandfather took the key from his pocket and opened the hidden door in the massive old clock. He inserted the key and wound—not too much,never overwind, he’d tell me solemnly. Nor too little. He never let that clock wind down and stop. When I got a little older, he showed me how to open the door. I remember the first time I did, I trembled with anticipation. To be part of this family ritual was sacred.After my beloved grandfather died, it was several days after the funeral before I remembered the clock!“Mama! The clock! We’ve let it wind do wn.”The tears flowed freely when I entered the dining room. The clock stood there, deserted and quiet, seeming smaller and not as magnificent as before. I couldn’t bear to look at it.Years later, my grandmother gave me the clock and the key. The old house was quiet. No ticking or chiming of the clock—all was still. The hands on the clock were frozen, a reminder of time slipping away, stopped at the precise moment when my grandfather had ceased winding it. I took the key in my shaking hand and opened the clock door. Slowly, respectfully, I inserted the key and wound the clock. It sprang to life. Tick-tock, tick-tock, life and chimes were breathed into the dining room, into the house and into my heart. In the movement of the hands of the clock, my grandfather lived again.24. By referring to th e grandfather clock as a trusted old family friend, thewriter suggested that .A. the clock belonged to his grandfather for a long timeB. the clock was trusted by all the members in his familyC. the clock had witnessed the four generations grow into oneD. the clock had accompanied the family and shared their happiness25. What can we infer from the writer’s detailed description of his grandfather’s routinein the 2nd paragraph?A. It was troublesome to make the clock work.B. He greatly missed his late grandfather.C. It was fantastic to play with the grandfather clock.D. His grandfather had a preference for winding the clock.26. In Para. 5, why couldn’t the writer bear to look at the clock?A. Because it had been deserted after the funeral.B. Because it was not as big and impressive as before.C. Because it reminded him of the time with his grandfather.D.

From the last paragraph, we can know .A. the author’s grandmother asked him to protect the clockB. the author has repaired the clock himselfC. the author missed his grandfather by keeping the clock going like himD. the author was very happy to get the clockCCrucial work has been done to safeguard China’s cultural treasures and more responsibilities are being placed on the government's shoulders.“More efforts will be made to hold officials accountable (when accidents happe n),”Luo Shugang, minister of culture, said in Beijing during the two sessions.Last year, a pair of stone candelabra found in a Ming Dynasty emperor’s tomb was stolen, but local officials covered up the theft for months. After the artifacts were traced, 17 administrators were disciplined for the incident. Twelve officials in Hebei province were also held responsible in 2016 after an illegal real estate development was started near the Eastern Qing Tombs. Fires resulting in damage to six key cultural heritage sites under State protection also led to 23 officials receiving punishments in 2017.China recently established an accountability system to clarify who is responsible for protecting each of the country's 767,000 registered “unmovable”cultural herit age sites, such as structures and monuments. Several major crimes involving cultural relics have been prevented. The Ministry of Public Security released most-wanted lists twice last year specifically to strike at such crimes. It led to the capture of 16 of the 20 suspects in the list.“Protection of cultural relics has many more legal references now,” the minister said. “However, to implement the laws that safeguard cultural relics, it is essential to conduct an archaeological investigation before any major infrastructure ( 基础设施) construction begins,” he added.Having a clear understanding of cultural resources is one way to better protect the nation's heritage. Consequently, the Culture Ministry has organized several nationwide surveys in the past five years. The surveys found that 108 million cultural relics are housed in public museums and other state-owned institutions. More than 870,000 intangible cultural heritage items were also registered.28. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How to protect cultural relics.B. Why government officials are held accountable.C. Importance of protecting cultural heritages.D. Government’s efforts to protect cultural treasures.29. What does the third paragraph intend to tell us?A. Chin a’s cultural treasures are well safeguarded.B. Some cultural relics have been damaged due to the misconduct of some officials.C. The government has had the related officials held responsible for the damage orloss of cultural relics.D. It is the administrators’ duty to protect the country’s cultural treasures.30. The “most-wanted lists” (paragraph 4) probably refer to .A. those who are thought to be guilty of doing damage to cultural relicsB. government officials responsible for crimes involving cultural relicsC. cultural relics that have been lostD. crimes related to cultural heritage sites31. Why is it important to carry out archaeological investigations?A. To have legal references for protecting cultural resources.B. To avoid destroying possible cultural heritage sites.C. To better understand our country’s cultural relics.D. To register and house the cultural heritagei tems.DSome materials are obtained from natural resources that are changed by chemical processes in a laboratory. The resulting artificial materials are synthetic, or human- made.Plastic is a synthetic substance obtained from petroleum, a fossil fuel. The molecules ( 分子) in petroleum are split and then linked into chains. Plastic is an example of a polymer, a material made of repeating patterns of atoms linked t ogether. Most polymers are synthetic. They are made by polymerization, the process of chemically linking many smaller molecules to form a larger molecule that has different physical features. Some polymers, such as proteins, occur naturally.Plastic is a key component of many products. When heated into an almost-liquid form, plastic can be made into fibers, sheets, or molds (模具). It can be mixed with other elements to remain flexible, or it can harden into a solid. Plastic fibers can be made into clothing or carpeting. Sheets of plastic can be made into plates. Molded plastic can be used for protective helmets or car bumpers.Most plastics can be reheatedand remolded repeatedly. Thisfeature makes plastic very easy touse. Polymers can be pulled intofine strings or molded into almostany kind of shape.

Food- storage wraps and containers may be made of plastic. Take a walk outdoors, and note all the plastic items you see.
