According to the passage, Murray is most probably considered to be ________.A. friendly and considerateB. selfless but dishonestC. unconfident but modestD. prideful and out - goingBNot so long ago, most people didn't know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was going to become. She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future. However, one person wants to change this. Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time were not exactly impressive, but even so, he seemed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few year later at Jamaica's Olympic games in early 2008,Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica's unchallenged queen of the sprint（短跑）."Where did she come from?" asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton, becoming world champion with a time of' 10.73—the fourth record ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless, She grew up in one of Jamaica's toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment,sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didn't have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn't afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime's early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.But Shelly-Ann's victory was far greater than that. The night, she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world's toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “I have so much fire burning for my country,” Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman's as well as a man's world.As Muhammad Ali puts it, "Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision. "One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth.4. Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann?A. He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble.B. He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.C. She had big problems maintaining her performance.D. She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.5. What can we infer from Shelly-Ann's statement underlined in Paragraph 5?A. She was highly rewarded for her efforts.B. She was eager to do more for her country.C. She became an athletic star in her country.D. She was the envy of the whole community.6. By mentioning Muhammad Ali's words, the author intends to tell us that_____.A. players should be highly inspired by coachesB. great athletes need to concentrate on patienceC. hard work is necessary in one's achievementsD. motivation allows great athletes to be on the top7. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Making of a Great AthleteB. The Dream for ChampionshipC. The Key to High PerformanceD. The Power of Full Responsibility第二节Last summer over 12,000 fans were at Wembley Arena in London, shouting and cheering. Thousands more were watching online._____8_____It was esports, or competitive computer gaming.Millions of people in the UK play computer games for fun. Some of them have become professional gamers, playing games as their full-time job.____9_____They practice for ten or more hours a day, five or six days a week. They do exercises like typing something and trying to type it faster and faster. They also study videos of other players and plan ways to beat them.___10___Are players athletes? Some say no. Esports players don’t need to run, jump, throw or do big physical actions. At the moment, the UK government classifies esports as kinds of games, not as sports.But others say yes: esports are sports. Players do need some physical skills, especially hand-eye coordination, reflexes, accuracy and timing. If darts, snookerand shooting are classified as sports, then perhaps esports should be too.___11____And they will be an official medal sport in the Asian Games starting from 2022. Next step: the Olympics?For many esports fans and players, though, the most important thing is that esports are growing in popularity and importance.__12__A. But are esports really sports?B.

They try to fix eyes on their smartphone screen while nodding. What goes through your mind is “how rude they are!”Have we forgotten some of the old school manners that our parents, grandparents, and teachers taught us –manners that have nothing to do with a mobile device or iPad, but everything to do with long-forgotten Golden Rules we were raised with?When I was growing up, there was etiquette(礼仪) to coughing. When coughing, we were told to turn our head away and block off our mouth. This might sound amusing to many young people. But if we didn’t follow these etiquettes, we would get a quick reminder(提醒)to the back of our head. When we were given something, and forgot to say “thank you”, elders would seriously remind us, “aren’t you forgetting to say something”, which was immediately followed by a “thank you”.Maybe technology has affected our brains so much that we can never go back to those golden days we like. It seems as if we have thrown out manners and etiquette with the bathwater. Simple etiquette is missing in society. A thank-you-note for a gift you have received all fall into the same box of manners. People are just cold these days because we are on the run every day in the world.In the work environment have you ever come across a sign: “Your mother doesn’t work here, clean up by yourself”? We often hear people say, the younger generation have no manners. I think people in general irrespective(无关的)of age have lost their manners. We’ve allowed bad manners to go unchecked. We simply stand bad behavior.In a world of more good manners, less closing of doors in our faces, more space given, and more “thank you”or “please”exchanged, our younger generation will have an improved quality of life.4.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To point out young people’s bad manners.B.To introduce the main topics of the text.C.To stress the importance of cell phone.D.To explain the effect of cell phones on people.5.In the passage, Golden Rules refer to_______.A.modern family mannersB. rules observed at schoolC.rules everyone has to followD. etiquette started by oldergeneration6.Based on the passage, when one person coughs, blocking off his mouth, __________.A.the younger person will feel it necessaryB.the younger person will feel it funnyC.the older people will think little of himD.the older people will teach him a lesson7.According to the author, young people have no manners mainly because of ______________.A.the parents and teachers’improper act and attitudeB. the fast developedtechnologyC. the people’s attitude towards running awayD. the busy lifestyles peoplehave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。

How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?their hands only 4 times a day - half of the number doctors advise.0 times a day - often inviting germs (病菌) to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most importantly, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germs?sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.1. What is found out about American seniors?A. Most of them have good habits.B. Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week.C. All of them are fighting germs better than expected.D. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day.2. Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands _________ .A. twice a dayB. three times a dayC. four times a dayD.eight times a day3. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. We should keep from touching our faces.B. There are less than 300 types of bacteria in the mouth.C. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.4. The text probably comes from _________.A. a guide bookB. a popular magazineC. a book reviewD. anofficial documentBThe English language is full of phrases about the weather. Some of these phrases are easy to understand, but others are not really about the weather at all. If you say you “hit r ough weather”, you may not be struck by a real storm, but you do experience difficulties or problems. If you don’t know what such phrases mean, they might leave you “in a fog (雾)”!In English, you can “shoot the breeze”, or have an informal chat. But thing s can also be a breeze. If you take an exam and find it very easy, you’d tell your friends: “It was a breeze!” The wind can also bring information. You can “get wind of” a piece of news, and if someone“knows which way the wind blows”, they have a good ide a about how things will work out. But don’t“throw caution (警惕) to the wind”—that means taking a great risk!Clouds sometimes bring rain, and in English they often represent problems or difficulties. If someone “sees a cloud on the horizon (地平线)”, there may be problems ahead. And if someone is “under a cloud”, then people think the person might have done something wrong. But clouds are not always bad; in fact, people say that “every cloud has a silver lining”. This means that there is a good side to every situation, no matter how bad it may seem. You may even end up “on cloud nine”, which means you are very happy! But some people have their “heads in the clouds”, not paying attention to reality.No one likes to be stuck in the rain or storm, so it’s no sur prise that phrasesabout them are generally negative. When someone says “it never rains but it pours”, they are complaining (抱怨) that when things go wrong, they go very wrong. People who talk about “weathering a storm” just want to get through a difficult period or situation.5. It may be dangerous when you _____.A. know which way the wind blowsB. find that something is a breezeC. get wind of a piece of newsD. throw caution to the wind6. If you look at something in a positive way, you may say _____.A. you are under a cloudB. your head is in the cloudsC. every cloud has a silver liningD. you see a cloud on the horizon7. Phrases like “it never rains but it pours” and “weathering a storm” are related tosomething _____.A. changeableB. unfavorableC. acceptableD. unbelievable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。

On the islands of Hawaii, friendship is part of the “aloha spirit”. In the language of the Hawaiians who first settled the islands long ago, aloha had a very special meaning. That is “to be with happiness”.Hawaiians believe that once somebody loves the land, they are ready to love their people or community. This is the second most important sign of friendship. It is called lokahi in the Hawaiian language, which means “oneness with all people”. To enjoy the land you should not be selfish. The land is for everyone who lives on it. Today many different peoples call Hawaii their home. Indeed, Hawaii is a place where people make one big community from many smaller communities. Each person gives kokua(help) to other people so that all feel stronger. It is believed that the islands can be a paradise （天堂） when the people of Hawaii talk about ohana (family), they are really talking about all those who live on the islands.Living in peace, Hawaiians have developed a third sign of friendship. This personal friendship is shown by giving leis to one another. The lei, a string of flowers, is put over a friend`s neck. Then the friend is given a kiss on the cheek. Visitors to the islands are also given leis. When they hear aloha, visitors begin to feel at home. Aloha also means “goodbye”, so visitors will hear it again when they leave,. It can also meanA. Their own families.B. Their relatives.C. All those who live on the islands.D. All people around the world.CJulia’s Chinese name is Liu Min, she is in Class 6 and her telephone number －4321.

AIs It Bad to Cross Your Legs When You Sit?Crossing your legs is an extremely common hab it; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increase s resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won’t feel any immediate effects, but if you sit for long periods of time it’s important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for. You shouldn’t have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes, and it’s important that you get up and walk around at least once every hour.Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it’s best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on th e floor, but it’s not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic bones to rotate. Since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine, this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get tingly or have the feeling of being asleep. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other it causes pressure on the veins and nerves in your legs and feet. It can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minuteor two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.1.According to para 2, we can infer that___________A.it’s no big deal to cross our legs for less than 15 minutes.B.we will feel uncomfortable at the moment we cro ss the legs.C.we should take a walk every hour after sitting still.D.crossing legs while sitting makes it harder to circulate our blood.2.How many health problems can be caused by crossing legs according to the text?A. 2 B3 C.4 D. 53. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A. ① B ① C. ① D. ①②③②③②③④②③④⑤④⑤⑤④⑤BMicrosoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neurone disease to communicate with others from a phone.The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intellige nce to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive, not stable under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration and substantial, relatively immobile setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, aresearcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.“To ease the drawbacks…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, stable, portable and easy to learn.”The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.The sticker shows four grids(网格) of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids(网格) 24the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.3.Which of the following is the correct order of how the app works?a.The sticker puts forward four grids of letter.b.The listerner points the phone at the speakerc.The speaker uses a chart to determine which eye m ovement to make.d.The users use their eye movements to select the grids of letters they want tochoose.A.bacdB. bcadC. bdcaD.

AI am a city girl, and my idea of a big animal was a German dog. Meeting Dan changed everything.Early in our dating, he told me of his dream to own a farm.“Don’t cows kick?” I worried when I saw the huge cattle. Dan laughed. “Don’t beafraid,” he said. “Just try milking a few times a day. You’ll get used to them.” Aftersix months, I still was too nervous to try it.One evening I heard the low mooing of the cows in their lot. Then I heard the cows again,but louder. I looked out of the window. A storm was coming. Suddenly I saw a cow running pastthe window. Another cow passed, and a third one moved into the yard. “Dan!” I shouted—then remembered he had gone into town.I rushed back into the house and pulled on my coat. The noise had roused the children, andthey called to me from upstairs. “Stay inside,” I shouted as I went out of the door, “nomatter what!”I was running to the yard. Suddenly the hundred cows turned and were coming in my direction!Beside me there was an old gate leading into an empty lot. I threw myself against the gate.Got it! And all at once the cows entered the lot.When Dan got home, I told him the story. “You rescued a whole herd of cows!” Dan said.Lying in bed beside Dan, I felt safe and comfortable.The next time I went out into the lot, I felt a little bigger beside the cows.

It has three studying sitesCSome birds are masters of crime(犯罪). That means these species steal food from other birds and get away with it. Scientists have long wondered what these birds have in common. A new study suggests that big body size does not predict bad behavior. Instead, it is the size of the birds’ brains that matters most.To learn more about what makes some birds tend toward a life of crime and how they steal food from other birds, scientists analyzed 856 published reports of thieves. Researcher Julie says she started the project after watching birds steal dry dog food out of unattended bowls.She read about some dramatic examples of thieves, including birds that steal food from others flying in midair or bending through the sky. She learned that members of some species disturb other birds until they spit up food in their mouth.Families that steal also tend to eat fish, mice, and other vertebrates(脊椎动物) insteadof just insects. These meatier (多肉的) meals are hard to catch, and they deliver lots of valuable calories, so they are tempting to steal.Finally, birds that steal tend to have big brains in relation to their bodies. That may seem surprising, since human bullies(欺凌弱小者) are often thought to be stronger in size.But for birds, stealing isn’t about strength. It takes a clever brain to get food out of another hungry bird’s claws, especially if that bird is bigger than you are.8. The best title for the passage can be _______.A. Diet Habits of a FeatherB. Hunting Skills of a FeatherC. Brains of a FeatherD. Thieves of a Feather9. What is the key factor of the birds’ stealing food?A. Body size.B. Living environment.C. Brain size.D. Mouth length.10. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. birds’ stealing isn’t related to their environmentB. for birds, stealing is about cleverness and tricksC. birds steal food only from those that are smaller in sizeD. birds that steal have small brains for their bodies第三部分：语言运用（共三节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15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。

AIn America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman (新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity, students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请). The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write down some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.1. According to the text, most students feel ________ when entering the high school.A. excitedB. nervousC. lonelyD. disappointed2. Which of the following is TRUE about the school clubs?A. There are fewer students from higher grades in the school clubs.B. The school clubs in high school only welcome sports fans.C. Summer activities begin before school starts.D. The school office can help new students join school clubs.3. When do many schools take students to visit their new high school?A. Before the eighth grade year starts.B. Right after the high school year starts.C. At the end of their eighth grade yearD. At the beginning of the new term in the high school.4. What is the purpose of this text?A. To tell the new students how to learn in high schoolB. To introduce new schoolsC. To give the teachers some adviceD. To give advice to new high school studentsBThere is an English saying: "Laughter is best medicine." Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercises. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition byencouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial(有益的)effects similar to those who are caused by laughter.5. The main idea of the passage is ____________.A. laughter and physical exercises have similar effects.B. smile can produce the same effects as laughterC. pain can be reduced by laughterD. laughter is best medicine6. The underlined word "diminish" is similar to____________.A. testB. stopC. reduceD. increase7. Doctors hold laughter clinics _____________.A. to give better condition to their patientsB. in order to improve patients' healthC. to make patients smile all the timeD. to prove smile and laughter have the same effect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。

To encourage kids to love art.B. To encourage outdoor activities.C. To encourage community service.D. To show the importance of education.BWhat is language for?Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists, the better. However, it’s wrong.Language is for the exchange (交流) of ideas and info rmation. It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes.People shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote: “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history,but they make language. But a person can only make his own language. It can’t make another people’s language.So Chinese learners can learn about grammar, but they shouldn’t focus on it. They should put communication first. Understanding others correctly and expressing themselves freely matter more.5. Generally，when an American or an Englishman speaks English，he ______.A．never makes mistakes B．often makes mistakesC．can't avoid making mistakes D．seldom cares about mistakes6．If too many native speakers break a rule，______.A．what they use will become right B．they are against the lawC．they should say sorry to others D．they will become heroes7. Why Bernard Shaw is mentioned in this passage?A. to prove that everybody makes mistakes.B. to prove that foreigners speak English too correctly and they never make mistakes.C. to show that native speakers are not afraid of making mistakesD. to show that foreigners don’t have to be afraid of making mistakes whilespeaking English.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。
