Whenever I hear someone accused of having rose-colored glasses, it usually means they are unrealistically optimistic or ignoring reality. Maybe it’s true, but I believe everyone needs a pair of rose-colored glasses. When I was eight, my second brother was born. I had long imagined all the cool things I would instruct him in, but it all crashed one day when my baby brother came to the world. On that day I knew he had mental disability. This was the second time. I was just 16 months old when my first brother was born. It never occurred to me to question his menta l illness until I was six, when I became aware that I couldn’t teach my brother. For half a year I had eagerly looked forward to finally being in that role. Now it was gone. Clearly we would never be a “normal” family.After a while I realized I had to let go of my expectations for him and get on with life. That’s when I put on my first pair of rose-colored glasses. Maybe we could still have that brotherly relationship and I could teach him some things, even if it wasn’t all that I first thought.But the reality is that both brothers have taught me more about life than I could have ever imagined teaching them. I’ve had living examples right in front of me of what success really is, and what faith means. I’ve learned from my brothers whenever I puton a pair of rose-colored glasses.Forty years ago, nobody in our family imagined my brothers would live in their own homes with their own friends and hold jobs like anyone else, let alone be the teachers of life for others. The values I’ve learned from my brothers a re what I call the gift —“the rose-colored glasses”. They have helped me look at the world in a different way without restrictions set by somebody else.4. What did the author want to do before the birth of his second brother?A. Give him a pair of rose-colored glasses.B. Look after him as a big brother.C. Set him a good example.D. Teach him cool things.5. How did the author feel when putting on his first pair of rose-colored glasses?A. Hopeful.B. Energetic.C. Cool.D. Curious.6. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 really mean?A. Pretending to be happy.B. Caring about the family affection.C. Looking from a different angle.D. Escaping from the challenging reality.7. In writing the passage, the author intends to show ________.A. his admiration for his brothersB. his former attitude to realityC. his own views on lifeD. his sense of responsibilityCFirstborn kids may have better thinking skills compared with their siblings (兄弟姐妹), according to a recent study published in the Journal of Human Resources. You may be wondering what has caused it.The data of the research is from approximately 5,000 U.S. children. Each child was assessed every two years in a number of categories that measured their thinking skills, from vocabulary to reading comprehension. The study also took into account the environmental factors like family background and economic status. The results revealed that firstborns scored higher on the tests, with the increased abilities starting as early as babyhood.The study authors observed parental behavior as a potential way to determine why this pattern came out. Researchers used an assessment tool called the Home Observation Measurement of the Environment to measure par ents’ pre-birth, pregnancy and post-birth behaviors, including factors such as their smoking habits and their emotional involvement with their kids.Unsurprisingly, as parents had more children, their level of participation in things like reading, crafts and educational activities dissipated (消散) gradually. While children got equivalent amounts of emotional support, the eldest children generally received more assistance with tasks related to developing thinking skills.The research supports the theory that firstborns are environmentally prepared to succeed academically and financially when they’re older. Previous studies suggest older kids are more likely to work hard for achievement and may be more successful than their siblings.“Our results suggest that broad shifts in parental behavior are a seemingly reasonable explanation for the observed birth order differences in education and labor market outco mes,” said the lead study author Ana Nuevo-Chiquero.However, don’t worry, younger kids. You still have advantages over your older siblings. Experts say middle children tend to be family peacekeepers, and the baby of the family is more creative and more social than his or her older brothers and sisters.8. What is the topic of the text?A. Parents’ influence on kids.B. Different ways of parenting.C. Advantages of firstborn kids.D. Research on factors of success.9. What may be the main cause of firstbo rn kids’ better thinking skills?A. Parents, health.B. Family relationship.C. Parents’ behavior.D. Family background and economic status.10. What can replace the underlined word “equivalent” in Paragraph 4?A. Decreasing.B. Equal.C. Enough.D. Significant.11. What can be inferred from the text?A. Younger kids are more likely to be talented.B. Younger kids are lucky to learn from elders.C. Older kids tend to be more lively and active.D. Parents’ involvement is key to kids’ growth.DLeadership effectiveness is decided by the FIT between a particular leader and the situation. As you Ml see, this simple fact has huge effects on choosing leaders, and developing them.It means that a leader who is effective in one situation may be unsuccessful, or simply ineffective if that same person works within a different context. It means that it’s not possible to predict what person will be an effective leader in any particular further situation. Context, or “fit” is everything.We like to think of our favo rite leaders to be extremely effective, and so there’s a tendency to forget that most leaders, even those who are held up as role models for future leaders inevitably (不可避免地) failed about as much as they succeeded. You’d think that it would be possible to identify, in advance, what “kind” of leader an organization needs, so it could be possible to choose a leader to fit for that time. Unfortunately, as I said, the only thing we know about leadership is that it all depends on the context. We simply are not able to predict, with any success, what person will thrive (繁荣，兴旺) in one leadership role, and not in another. That’s because not only are there so many contextual factors involved in determining that fit but we don’t even know what they are, or more importantly, how those factors (因素) influence each other. What we have is a situation that is so intricate that all the variables that determine success affect each other. Therefore, each “match” of leader to context variables is, in effect, a singularity, or in simple terms, unique.It also means that a leader succeeding now may not be a success next year, not because his or her skills and abilities have gotten worse, or because he or she is no longer a "good leader”, but because the needs of the organiza tion, and the environment in which it operates have changed.12. According to the text, what does leadership effectiveness depend on?A. The efforts to develop the leaders.B. The workers’ support to the leaders.C. The abilities and potential of the leaders.D. The environment the leaders work in.13. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. A skill for a leader’s success.B. A reason for a leader’s failure.C. A way to choose the right leader.D. The importance of “fitting”.14. According to the text, what do we tend to think of our favorite leaders?A. They should be held up as role models.B. They are good at solving problems.C. They need to make more progress.D. They may also meet with failures.15. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Curious.B. Controversial.C. Complex.D. Desperate.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。

By the time she went to bed, Lisa had already read one of them.Mom said to Lisa the next day, “I think we need to get you your own library card.” “Wow!” cried Lisa. “I’ve always wanted a library card.”The next day after school, Mom took Lisa to the library to get her a card. The lady at the desk asked Mom to fill out a paper and then asked Lisa to print her name. She then told Lisa how many books she could borrow on her card. Lisa could hardly wait to search the many shelves of books. Lisa loved some books about mysteries best of all. She liked to solve the mystery in her head and see if she was right when she got to the end of the story. Her other favorite books were ones that took her to faraway places.Lisa had three books to return the next day and was excited to take out three more. However, when Lisa got to the library, she didn’t have her card. “Oh no!” Lisa said to the lady at the desk. “I can’t find my library card!” “I’m sorry,” said the lady. “I can’t let you take any books without your card.” Lisa left the library, kind of worried.When Lisa got home, Mom told Lisa that a boy came to the house with her library card. “You were lucky that the boy found your card,”said Mom. “You need to be very careful.” “Having a library card is a big responsibility.” Lisa said, “I think I will keep it in my wallet.” Mom said, “Let’s go back to the library and get those books you wanted.” “Sounds great,”said Lisa.When they got to the library, Mom decided to get some books too.

We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my lack(缺少) of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to(和……相关) science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer. I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of a fame or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5:00 p.m. or even 6:00 p.m.. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.8. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. T he writer’s dreams.B. T he writer’s future job.C. Dinner plans.D. Wars around the world.9.

T he writer’s mother gets along very well with the writer.D. T he writer’s mother doesn’t think working in the scientific field is a good idea.10. What does t he underlined word “bemoans” in Par agraph 2 most probably mean?A. Agrees.B. Shouts.C. Complains.D. Smiles.11. Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?A. He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.C. He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.D. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.DTim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York---he in compu ters, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s found ation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth t o age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder”.Five years later, now retired and with that brochure(小册子) still on the desk, Timclicked on . The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts(折扣).The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books---reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members (董事)---included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”12. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A. His health problem.B. His love for teaching.C. The influence of his wife.D. The news from the Web.13. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A. Give out brochures.B. Do something similar.C. Write books for childrenD. Retire from being a teacher.14. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?A. To avoid signing up online.B. To meet Dollywood board members.C. To make sure the books were the newest.D. To see if the books were of good quality.15. What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?A. He needs more money to help the children.B. He wonders why some people are so busy.C. He tries to save those waiting to die.D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.EWhether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish(区分) when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond(回应) more appropriately(合适地) to the user.The Jibo robot, which was planned to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver(给出) general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding(提醒) an elderly family member to take medicine ortaking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential(潜在的) applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robo ts is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to help customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations(推荐) for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction(互动) the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not planned to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “W e have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.16. How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions.B. They are more like humans.C. They do the normal housework.D. They respond to users more slowly.17. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A. Communicate with you and perform operations.B. Answer your questions and make requests.C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.18. What can Oshbot work as?A. A language teacher.B. A tour guide.C. A shop assistant.D. A private nurse.19. What will social robots do according to the last paragraph?A. They will train employees.B. They will be our workmates.C. They will improve technologies.D. They will take the place of workers.20. What does the passage mainly present?A. A new design idea of household robots.B. Marketing methods for social robots.C. Information on household robots.D. An introduction to social robots. 第二部分英语知识应用第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

At age 10, when she saw her grandmother’s pain over the death of Adele’s grandfather, she pictured herself as a heart surgeon.“I wanted to fix people’s hearts,” she told the UK music website i-D, remembering the childhood interest she’d had in biology classes until she found out that her real talent was for singing.“Adele didn’t go to medical school, but many woul d agree that she still has healing（治愈）powers. Her songs find the kind of memory every listener holds somewhere in their heart. This kind of feeling is what people have always liked in Adele,” said The Telegraph. “She writes a pop diary, sharing the simple secrets of her heart.”Most successful pop stars make albums at a fast pace, but not Adele. After her second album 21 won the 2012 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, she made it clear with her label（标签）that she would spend “four or five years” making her next album. She told magazine. “I won’t come out with new music until it’s better than 21.”Instead of seeking fame, Adele remained silent and moved to the countryside. In her free time, she loved to watch TV series Teen Mom, American Horror Story, and The Walking Dead.Living life as nor mally as possible is important to the singer’s art. “Nobody wants to listen to a record from someone who’s not living in the real world,” Adele told i-D. “So I live a low-key life for my fans.”4. What does the text mainly tell us?A. The secrets of Adele’s success in music.B. The popularity of Adele’s album 25.C. The reason for Adele’s becoming a singer.D. The healing powers of Adele’s music.5. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Adele wasn’t interested in music at first.B. Music wasn’t very important in Adele’s life.C. Adele wasn’t good at music at the beginning.D. Music wasn’t all Adele wanted to be devoted to.6. Why doesn’t Adele want to make albums at a fast pace?A. To win the Grammy Award.B. To live a low-key and real life.C. To guarantee the music quality.D. To share the secrets as a musician.7. What can we know about Adele?A. She has kept a diary since childhood.B. Her works are based on the real life.C. She moved to the countryside before 2012.D. Her album Hello will come out on November 20.CGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: once we have learned something, extra learning attempts or tries to increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, and bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. W e not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables（乘法口诀表）are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming（突击学习）for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to pass the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.8. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a much better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is considered a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are very easy to remember.9. How does the author explain the law of overlearning?A. By presenting research finding.B. By setting down general rules.C. By making a comparison.D. By using examples.10. W hat does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Commonly accepted rules.B. The multiplication tables.C. Things easily forgotten.D. School subjects.11. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?A. It’s helpful on ly in a limited way.B. It causes failure in college exams.C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students’ learning interest.DA new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner. The keyboard records information about the typing pattern and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the pattern matches the right user. If not, an alarm sounds, and the computer locks the typist out. It locks out anyone else, even if the person knows password. Wha t’s more, this device needs no batteries. It harvests all the energy it needs from the action of your typing. Besides, the keyboard is also self-cleaning and the keys are free of damage from water, oil and dirt.The keys of the new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. But instead of being smooth, the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires（纳米线）on their surface area to every key, increasing the effective contact area between the plastics and fingers. This ensures that there’s enough power to run the keyboard as someone types.Liming Dai, a scientist, did not work on the new keyboard, but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of devices. “It could also be applied to a touch screen, for instance,” Dai says. “Then smart phones and notepads could harvest energy from the action of someone typing or dr awing.”“Future work might make the keyboard even more useful” Dai adds. “A later design might build tiny capacitors（电容器）onto the nanowires,” he suggests. Capacitors are little devices that temporarily store electric charges. Those might then power LEDs to light a keyboard in the dark.Zhonglin Wang is a codesigner of the new keyboard. His team has built a working model of the keyboard. “If a company decides to fund（投资）its production, this keyboard could be in stores in as little as two years,” says Wang.12. How does the new keyboard tell whether you are its owner?A. By checking the right user’s passwords.B. By sending alarms to a computer program.C. By recording information about the typing pattern.D. By matching the typing pattern to the right user.13. Why are there many nanowires on the surface of the keys?A. To make the keys beautiful.B. To make the keys smooth.C. To help produce power.D. To improve the speed of typing.14. What’s Dai’s attitude to the new keyboard?A. Positive.B. Critical.C. Doubtful.D. Unconcerned.15. What is the best title for the text?A. A New Keyboard Made of NanowiresB. A New Keyboard Powered by TypingC. A New Keyboard Entirely Owned by YouD. A New Keyboard’s Future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。

AThere are a lot of great national parks in the . If you love visiti ng national parks, here are some for you.Location:As one of Utah’s 5 national parks, is surely the most amazin g. The summer is packed with people and very hot, so it may be best to visit it during the spring or fall for the best condition s.Location:Here in Maine, where starts its day, you’ll catch the sunrise b efore the rest of the country. And it is especially amazing at .Here you’ll able to explore(探索) wonderful mountains and lakes.Location:Escape the busy city life and have some exciting experiences right at . After a quick drive from Washington D.C., you’ll find some of the most well-known scenery(景色) in the country.Location:Just a stone’s throw away from Jackson, WY, lies . , , is one of American’s best towns for outdoor sport. Named for the Gr and Teton, the park is full of surprises.1. If you want to enjoy the beautiful sunrise, you’d go to _____ _____.A.B.C.D. Grand Teton National Park2. What can we learn about Shenandoah National Park?A. It’s famous for its scenery.B. It has many mountains and lakes.C. It’s the best place for outdoor sport.D. It’s’s most beautiful national park.3. The passage is meant to____________.A. compare some national parks in the .B. tell about some activities at national parks.C. introduce some great American national parks.D. explain why American national parks are amazing.BSpaghetti with meatballs(意大利肉丸面) is the food I like best. It tastes good. And reading is the ho bby I like best. , however, can be dangerous. When you are lo st in a book, you stop paying attention to what’s going on arou nd you. It’s a wonderful feeling, but it sometimes can be hazar dous. []When I was young, one day, I was eating spaghetti with meat balls, and I was reading an interesting book. At the time, my f amily had a pet bird named Luke. He was free to fly around in side the house. And Luke enjoyed “talking” to people.As I was reading and eating, Luke was “talking” to me, but I w as lost in my book. So Luke decided to get closer. He suddenl y landed on top of my spaghetti! I shooed him off my food. This wouldn’t have been so bad except for one thing: When Luke had landed on my plate, he had grabbed(抓) my spaghetti with his feet. So when Luke took off again, the spaghetti went flying everywhere. It landed on my shirt. It hit me in the face. Red sauce splattered(溅) up the wall and onto the ceiling. See how dangerous reading can be. If you really like to read while you eat, you must keep one eye on your food. But you’d better eat up your food and then read your book. Why? If you find a novel at the library with red spots on two pages, you’ll k now that I’ve read that book.4. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. excitingB. strangeC. dangerousD. special5. What did Luke do when the author was reading and eating ?A. It made a mess in the room.B. It learned to talk to the author.C. It took away the author’s book.D. It ate all the spaghetti with meatballs.6. What does the author advise readers to do?A. Keep pets in the house all the time.B. Take good care of pets when you eat.C. Enjoy your book after finishing your eating.D. Spend more time reading books in the library.7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text?A. To introduce a delicious food.B. To tell an interesting experience.C. To suggest ways to choose books.D. To show reading is a wonderful thing.CBeing an astronaut(宇航员) sounds cool, doesn’t it? In space, they can float(漂浮) in zero gravity. However, there are also plenty of things th at astronauts can’t do because of their weightless environmen t, and that’s very sad. What’s worse, they can’t even let their s adness show— because it’s impossible to cry in zero gravity. Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But without grav ity, tears don’t flow downward out of the eyes. This means tha t when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go— the y just stick to your eyes which can cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears usually bring comfort to the eyes. But that’s no t the case in space. The space environment dries out astrona uts’ eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort.Since gravity doesn’t work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. They can also rub(擦) his eyes t o wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait—when the tears get big enough they simply break free of the e ye and float around.There are lots of small things that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted, until they become a proble m in a totally different environment, like space. There, astrona uts can’t talk to each other directly. They also can’t eat or drin k in normal ways. They can’t even burp(打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up(呕吐) everything in their stomach.Thus, perhaps it’s only space explorers who can honestly say,“Gravity,you’re the best.”8. What bad effect do tears have on astronauts?A. They cause physical pain.B. They bring comfort to them.C. They help them get better sight.D. They float around and cause trouble.9. What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears?A. Close their eyes.B. Wait till tears flow down.C. Let the tears dry up.D. Wait till the tears get big enough.10. What’s the second-to-last paragraph mainly about?A. Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in s pace.B. Other basic things that are difficult to do in space.C. The environment in space is totally different.D. Why burping is impossible in space.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What can you do in space?B. Better life with gravity.C. In the sky, you can’t cry.D. No gravity, no tears.DA group of homeless children in the Indian capital of publis h a newspaper telling about their own lives. It is called Balakn ama, which means “children’s voice”. It is written and edited (编辑) by children up to 19 years old. About 10, 000 people read it.A homeless girl named Shanno helps edit the paper.

AWhen I was about 6, I really wanted a new bike! I told my parents my birthday wish but I knew there was little hope, for my family could hardly afford one.On my birthday my parents told me they had my gift outside in the backyard. Immediately I rushed out to the yard. There was my bike, but it wa sn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. I was so disappointed.I thought I hurt my parents because I could see the disappointment on their faces when they noticed my expression. I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling bad because I had made my parents feel that way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.My parents gave me much more than just a rusty (生锈的) old bike. They gave me a life lesson about love. When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it actually is. What matters is the love in it. I like to remember this story because giving a gift is not about money or something else. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that costs $2 isn’t necessarily any less valuable than one that costs $100 or even more.21. Why did the author smile as he rode the bike?A. He liked it very much.B. He wanted to make his parents happy.C. He realized his birthday wish.D. He could ride as fast as he could.22. According to the author, what is the most important about a gift?A. How much it costs.B. The use of it.C. The love in it.D. How it looks.23. What can we know from the text?A. The parents thought their son wouldn’t like the bike.B. The parents bought other gifts besides the old bike.C. The author will never forget his birthday bike.D. A $100 gift is more valuable than a $2 one.BSuppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia, some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud burp after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a big burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please”.In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you. Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.24. In Mongolia, burping is a way of showing that __________.A. you are impoliteB. you enjoyed the meal prepared by the hostC. your meal was not enoughD. you are friendly with your host25. In Polynesia, to be polite while eating you should __________.A. eat quicklyB. sit stillC. turn your back on othersD. say“Excuse me, please”26.

The best title for this passage is __________.A. Good MannersB. All manners is the Same WayC. Different Kinds of MannersD.

Rent online during daytime, and get the videos sent straight to you.Here’s how it works:On our website, choose which videos you want to rent, and then click (点击) “Secure Checkout”. By clicking, you agree to use our service.Most videos are just $9.99 each (a few are more) per week. Some videos are even lower-priced.

(No stamps needed! Your payment covers everything!)Here’s what we mean by “one week”: If the video arrives at your address on a Wednesday, you must put it in the mail on or before the following Wednesday.If you have other questions about how regular rentals work, check out our HELP section at the bottom.28.

The text is probably from a .A. newspaperB. magazineC. notice boardD. web pageDOne of the United States’ social problems is the breakdown of the two-parent family. Today, millions of American children grow up without fathers. Too often, these children lack the love and help they badly need and which they would ordinarily receive from not one but two parents. In the old days, American parents placed the needs of their children above their own. At present, however, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce(离婚), with often troubling results for their children. Worse, every year, thousands of teenage, unmarried Americans become mothers outside marriage. However, Chinese continue to value whole marriages. This is not to say that Chinese marriages are all perfect - they certainly are not, there are increasing more divorces in China - but the willingness of Chinese to set aside their own needs and stay together for the sake of the children is highly respected and worthy of study.Families are important to Americans. If one was to ask a group of Americans what is the dearest to them, the majorit y would say “family”. And yet, so many Americans spend much more time at work- that is, beyond the formal forty-hour work week - than they do with their own families. It seems to me that Chinese generally find a better balance between work and family needs than many Americans do. Average Chinese usually head home right after work，have meals together, and spend time with their family members. What’s more, Chinese try to make more time for grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins than many Americans; in many cases, multigenerational families livetogether. Of course, like many facts of Chinese society, this is all changing; increasing numbers of “New Chinese” are working longer hours and spending less time with their families than ever before. Still, while Americans do value their loved ones, I think we have something to learn from the Chinese about finding the proper balance between work and family.32. According to the passage, the American family value in the past is that .A. Americans love their families more than their jobsB. Americans often set aside their children’s needsC. Americans have a strong work desireD. American parents place the needs of their children above their own33. What does the author think according to the passage?A. Children living in one-parent families badly need their parents’ love and help.B. Children with one-parent need their parents’ money badly.C. Chinese value whole marriage more than before.D. Work is the dearest to most Chinese.34. It can be concluded from the passage that .A. The breakdown in China will be more serious than that in the U. S.B. Chinese marriage is said to be all perfectC. Today nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce in ChinaD. Americans should reduce their working hours for their famlies35. The main point of the passage is .A. Family plays a very important role in AmericaB. There is something about family for Americans to learn from ChinaC. A proper balance between work and family needs to be found for ChineseD. The Chinese have a proper balance between work and play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。

By the time she went to bed, Lisa had already read one of them.Mom said to Lisa the next day, “I think we need to get you your own library card.” “Wow!” cried Lisa. “I’ve always wanted a library card.”The next day after school, Mom took Lisa to the library to get her a card. The lady at the desk asked Mom to fill out a paper and then asked Lisa to print her name. She then told Lisa how many books she could borrow on her card. Lisa could hardly wait to search the many shelves of books. Lisa loved some books about mysteries best of all. She liked to solve the mystery in her head and see if she was right when she got to the end of the story. Her other favorite books were ones that took her to faraway places.Lisa had three books to return the next day and was excited to take out three more. However, when Lisa got to the library, she didn’t have her card. “Oh no!” Lisa said to the lady at the desk. “I can’t find my library card!” “I’m sorry,” said the lady. “I can’t let you take any books without your card.” Lisa left the library, kind of worried.When Lisa got home, Mom told Lisa that a boy came to the house with her library card. “You were lucky that the boy found your card,”said Mom. “You need to be very careful.” “Having a library card is a big responsibility.” Lisa said, “I think I will keep it in my wallet.” Mom said, “Let’s go back to the library and get those books you wanted.” “Sounds great,” said Lisa.When they got to the library, Mom decided to get some books too. While they were in the library, Mom told Lisa the boy that found her card was sitting at the round table. Lisa went over to him and said, “Thank you for finding my card.” He told Lisa he was glad to help, and they both looked for some mystery books together.

The Lost Library CardC. Lisa’s R eading HobbyD. Making a New FriendCIt feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my lack(缺少) of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to(和……相关) science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer. I simply can’t be like Mr.Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son.I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of a fame or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5:00 p.m. or even 6:00 p.m.. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.8. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. T he writer’s dreams.B. T he writer’s future job.C. Dinner plans.D. Wars around the world.9.

T he writer’s mother gets along very well with the writer.D. T he writer’s mother doesn’t think working in the scientific field is a good idea.10.

He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.C. He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.D. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.DTim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York---he in computer s, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s found ation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth t o age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do somethi ng like this when we retire,”Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder”.Five years later, now retired and with that brochure(小册子) still on the desk, Tim clicked on . The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts(折扣).The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books---reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members (董事)---included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”12. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A. His health problem.B. His love for teaching.C. The influence of his wife.D. The news from the Web.13. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A. Give out brochures.B. Do something similar.C. Write books for childrenD. Retire from being a teacher.14. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?A. To avoid signing up online.B. To meet Dollywood board members.C. To make sure the books were the newest.D. To see if the books were of good quality.15. What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?A. He needs more money to help the children.B. He wonders why some people are so busy.C. He tries to save those waiting to die.D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.EWhether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish(区分) when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond(回应) more appropriately(合适地) to the user.The Jibo robot, which was planned to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver(给出) general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding(提醒) an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential(潜在的) applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to help customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations(推荐) for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction(互动) the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not plann ed to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.16. How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions.B. They are more like humans.C. They do the normal housework.D. They respond to users more slowly.17. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A. Communicate with you and perform operations.B. Answer your questions and make requests.C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.18. What can Oshbot work as?A. A language teacher.B. A tour guide.C. A shop assistant.D. A private nurse.19. What will social robots do according to the last paragraph?A. They will train employees.B. They will be our workmates.C. They will improve technologies.D. They will take the place of workers.20. What does the passage mainly present?A. A new design idea of household robots.B. Marketing methods for social robots.C. Information on household robots.D. An introduction to social robots.第二部分英语知识应用第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Province．【解析】答案：It/This is（was） the first time that I have（had） travelled to/visited the western Yunnan Province．本题考查it is/was the +序数词+that +have/had done 的结构，如果前面是is后面真正的主句使用现在完成时have done，如果前面是was，后面则用过去完成时had done，去…旅游，travel to．注意时态保持前后一致．这是我第一次去云南省的西部旅游．本题考查完成句子，根据句意判断应该使用什么单词或短语，注意时态和语态的使用．有的句子可以有不止一种翻译．2.【答案】Actually/As a matter of fact/In fact，it is/was his honesty that helps/helped him make many friends．【解析】答案：Actually/As a matter of fact/In fact，it is/was his honesty that helps/helped him make many friends．本题考查强调句的使用，根据汉语提示，需要强调的部分是他的诚实，所以his honesty应该放在it is…that 中间，该句使用一般现在时或者过去时都可以，对应使用is/was，注意that后面的动词也要与之相对应．"事实上"也有多种翻译，Actually/As a matter of fact/In fact都可以．事实上，正是他的诚实让他交到了很多朋友．本题考查完成句子，根据句意判断应该使用什么单词或短语，注意时态和语态的使用．有的句子可以有不止一种翻译．3.【答案】There was a time when I was crazy about computer games and lost my interest in studies．【解析】答案：There was a time when I was crazy about computer games and lost my interest in studies．考查汉译英．1．因讲述的是过去的事情，主句从句都用一般过去时态；2．There was a time when……是一个句型，意为"曾经有段时间"；3．be crazy about意为"非常喜爱…；醉心于"；lose interest in意为"对…失去兴趣"．曾经有段时间，我对电脑游戏很痴迷，对学习失去了兴趣．考查汉译英，注意英汉之间的差异，英语与汉语之间的一些特殊表达，准确地理解句子、翻译句子，然后根据句意及提示完成句子，使句意更通顺．4.【答案】D【解析】答案D考查非限制性定语从句，首先排除A、C两项，由于它们不引导此类定语从句．先行词是a small tool room，从句中缺少地点状语，故选D项．爸爸决定建一个小的带锁的工具房，他可以把他最好的工具放在那儿，以便我弟弟够不着．考查非限制性定语从句．做此类题目，首先要会分析句子成分．然后再根据先行词和从句中缺少什么成分确定关系词．如果缺少主语、宾语或表语等，要选择关系代词；如果缺少状语，就要选择关系副词．5.【答案】B【解析】本题考查定语从句．用which引导非限制性定语从句．指代上文的事情，在定语从句中作主语．故选：B．吉姆在英语配音赛中赢得冠军，这使他的同学和父母很兴奋．本题考查定语从句的用法，首先根据句意判断出先行词是什么，指人还是指物，时间还是地点，再分析从句缺少什么成分，缺主宾表，用关系代词，缺状语用关系副词．6.【答案】D【解析】本题考查定语从句．先行词是two films，指物，定语从句one of后面缺少宾语，用which引导定语从句．故选：D．这个导演去年拍了两部电影，其中一部是以深圳为背景的．本题考查定语从句的用法，首先根据句意判断出先行词是什么，指人还是指物，时间还是地点，再分析从句缺少什么成分，缺主宾表，用关系代词，缺状语用关系副词．7.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．考查过去时．根据具体的过去时间：in 1921，可知填一般过去时，因为是被建立，所以使用被动语态．故选：C．中国共产党1921年建立于上海．注意认真分析句子结构，结合题意以及细节，选出正确选项．综合运用排除法等做题方法．8.【答案】A【解析】本题考查定语从句．先行词是a new policy，指物，定语从句from后面缺少宾语，用which引导定语从句．故选：A．去年政府实施了一个新政策，人们还可以从中受益．本题考查定语从句的用法，首先根据句意判断出先行词是什么，指人还是指物，时间还是地点，再分析从句缺少什么成分，缺主宾表，用关系代词，缺状语用关系副词．9.【答案】A【解析】答案：A根据句意可知，本句是定语从句；由于先行词chairs在从句中作地点状语，意为：将她们的男人安置在椅子上；故用关系副词where；B．D．为关系代词，在定语从句中只能作主语或宾语；C．关系副词when在定语从句中作时间状语；故选A如果商店里有可以让女人安置她们的男人的椅子，女人将会在商店里花费更多的时间．本题考查了关系副词where的用法；做类似的题时，首先应根据句意判断出本句为定语从句（即空缺处引导的句子修饰的是它前面的名词/名词短语或代词）；然后根据空缺处在从句中所作的成分，确定要填的关系词；最后应熟练掌握各关系词的意义及用法．10.【答案】A【解析】本题考查系动词．系动词look表示"看起来…"，后接形容词，系动词没有被动形式，没有进行时态．故选：A．这条狗看起来疯了，因此离它远点儿．本题考查系动词．考生在平时的学习中应注意一些系动词的用法以及搭配，注意系动词没有被动形式，没有进行时态．常见的系动词有：1）状态系动词，用来表示主语状态，只有be一词；2）持续系动词，用来表示主语继续或保持一种状况或态度，主要有keep，rest，remain，stay，lie，stand；3）表像系动词，用来表示"看起来像"这一概念，主要有seem，appear，look；4）感官系动词，感官系动词主要有feel，smell，sound，taste；5）变化系动词，这些系动词表示主语变成什么样，变化系动词主要有become，grow，turn，fall，get，go，come，run； 6）终止系动词，表示主语已终止动作，主要有prove，trun out，表达"证实"，"变成"之意．系动词的功能主要是把表语（名词、形容词、某些副词、非谓词、介词短语、从句）和它的主语联系在一起，说明主语的属性、特征或状态．它有自己的但不完全的词义，不能在句中独立作谓语，必须和后面的表语一起构成句子的谓语．11.【答案】A【解析】答案：A分析句子结构可知，_____ is reported in the newspapers为非限制性定语从句，缺少主语用as，意为"正如"；as在引导定语从句时，位置比较灵活，可以自句首，句中．据报道，两个国家间的谈判正取得进展．本题考查非限制性定语从句，考生需先对句子结构分析，判断定语从句缺少什么成分在结合先行词判断关系代替的选用．12.【答案】B【解析】答案：选Bwhich是关系代词；关系副词when作时间状语；why作原因状语；where作地点状语。

At age 10, when she saw her grandmother’s pain over the death of Adele’s grandfather, she pictured herself as a heart surgeon.“I wanted to fix people’s hearts,” she told the UK music website i-D, remembering the childhood interest she’d had in biology classes until she found out that her real talent was for singing.“Adele didn’t go to medical school, but many woul d agree that she still has healing（治愈）powers. Her songs find the kind of memory every listener holds somewhere in their heart. This kind of feeling is what people have always liked in Adele,” said The Telegraph. “She writes a pop diary, sharing the simple secrets of her heart.”Most successful pop stars make albums at a fast pace, but not Adele. After her second album 21 won the 2012 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, she made it clear with her label（标签）that she would spend “four or five years” making her next album. She told magazine. “I won’t come out with new music until it’s better than 21.”Instead of seeking fame, Adele remained silent and moved to the countryside. In her free time, she loved to watch TV series Teen Mom, American Horror Story, and The Walking Dead.Living life as normally as possible is important to the singer’s art. “Nobody wants to listen to a record from someone who’s not living in the real world,” Adele told i-D. “So I live a low-key life for my fans.”4. What does the text mainly tell us?A. The secrets of Adele’s success in music.B. The popularity of Adele’s album 25.C. The reason for Adele’s becoming a singer.D. The healing powers of Adele’s music.5. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Adele wa sn’t interested in music at first.B. Music wasn’t very important in Adele’s life.C. Adele wasn’t good at music at the beginning.D. Music wasn’t all Adele wanted to be devoted to.6. Why doesn’t Adele want to make albums at a fast pace?A. To win the Grammy Award.B. To live a low-key and real life.C. To guarantee the music quality.D. To share the secrets as a musician.7. What can we know about Adele?A. She has kept a diary since childhood.B. Her works are based on the real life.C. She moved to the countryside before 2012.D. Her album Hello will come out on November 20.CGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: once we have learned something, extra learning attempts or tries to increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, and bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales su ch as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables（乘法口诀表）are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming（突击学习）for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to pass the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.8. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a much better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is considered a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are very easy to remember.9. How does the author explain the law of overlearning?A. By presenting research finding.B. By setting down general rules.C. By making a comparison.D. By using examples.10. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Commonly accepted rules.B. The multiplication tables.C. Things easily forgotten.D. School subjects.11. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?A. It’s helpful only in a limited way.B. It causes failure in college exams.C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students’ learning interest.DA new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner. The keyboard records information about the typing pattern and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the pattern matches the right user. If not, an alarm sounds, and the computer locks the typist out. It locks out anyone else, even if the person knows password. What’s more, this device needs no batteries. It harvests all the energy it needs from the action of your typing. Besides, the keyboard is also self-cleaning and the keys are free of damage from water, oil and dirt.The keys of the new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. But instead of being smooth, the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires（纳米线）on their surface area to every key, increasing the effective contact area between the plastics and fingers. This ensures that there’s enough power to run the keyboard as someone types.Liming Dai, a scientist, did not work on the new keyboard, but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of devices. “It could also be applied to a touch screen, for instance,” Dai says. “Then smart phones and notepads could harvest energy from the action of someone typing or drawing.”“Future work might make the keyboard even more useful” Dai adds. “A later design might build tiny capacitors（电容器）onto the nanowires,” he suggests. Capacitors are little devices that temporarily store electric charges. Those might then power LEDs to light a keyboard in the dark.Zhonglin Wang is a codesigner of the new keyboard. His team has built a working model of the keyboard. “If a company decides to fund（投资）its production, this keyboard could be in stores in as little as two years,” says Wang.12. How does the new keyboard tell whether you are its owner?A. By checking the right user’s passwords.B. By sending alarms to a computer program.C. By recording information about the typing pattern.D. By matching the typing pattern to the right user.13. Why are there many nanowires on the surface of the keys?A. To make the keys beautiful.B. To make the keys smooth.C. To help produce power.D. To improve the speed of typing.14. What’s Dai’s attitude to the new keyboard?A. Positive.B. Critical.C. Doubtful.D. Unconcerned.15. What is the best title for the text?A. A New Keyboard Made of NanowiresB. A New Keyboard Powered by TypingC. A New Keyboard Entirely Owned by YouD. A New Keyboard’s Future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。
