His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus wheneve r I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbl ed, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!” The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway a nd country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father di dn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long ho urs in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop , I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long jour ney home.A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it mea nt that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hed ge had just come into view when I saw something gray movin g along thetop of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer obse rvation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I kn ew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge , watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed har d against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I co uld hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s y ou!”he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”4. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Accepted happily.B. Spoke unhappily.C. Agreed willingly.D. Explained clearly.5. What made the author feel upset was ______.A. the feeling of being less than valuedB. the fear of seeing something movingC. the tiredness after long hours in labsD. the loneliness of riding the bus home6. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ___ ___.A. he didn’t want to meet his son at the doorwayB. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he was concerned about his son’s safetyD. he didn’t think his son was old enough to walk alone7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My College Life.B. My Father’s Se cret.C. Terrible Journey Home.D. Riding Bus Alone.CAt home, ordering food from a menu is a normal, everyday ro utine. I don’t even give it a second thought. In China, it’s a wh ole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served! Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English languag e menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion. A lthough accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the tra nslations often make the whole experience even more amusin g. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious di shes with strange names. As an experiment, my friends and I w ould order things like “students addicted to chicken gristle (软骨)” and “red burned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” w as actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to diced (切碎的) chicken with green pepper.Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow sid e street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small ro om was packed with people sitting on small stools (凳子) eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming b owls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the bac k of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in E nglish: “crossing over the bridge noodles”.I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would ta ste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing ov er the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carrie d over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤)and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had eve r tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I po int at the one English sentence –“crossing over the bridge no odles”. I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will reveal?8. How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing’s restaurants?A. Confusing but amusing.B. Easy to understand.C. Boring and annoying.D. Accurate and helpful.9. The underlined word “gamble” in the last paragraph probabl y means ______.A. tasteB. lookC. stepD. risk10. The passage mainly deals with ______.A. the author’s favorite Chinese dishesB. the fun the author had ordering food in China’s restaurantC. a comparison between Western food and Chinese foodD. the correct way to translate the names of Chinese dishes into English11. Thepassage is developed mainly in the form of _____________. A. examples and statements B. comparison and conclusi onC. causes and effectsD. time and descriptionDA cellphone is one of the few things that we hold close to our f aces all the time, and yet it could possibly explode - this is wh at made the recent Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 smart-phone accidents so shocking.According to technology news website The Verge, flawed（有瑕疵的）phone batteries might be to blame.Even if you are not a science student, you probably know that it is common sense that the anode (the negative（负的）end of the battery) and the cathode (the positive end) should never touch. If they do, the battery will short-circuit（短路）, causing a powerful electrical reaction that can destroy th e battery and cause a fire.This is why all lithium-ion（锂离子）batteries - the kind that can be found in many of our devices li ke tablets and cameras - have a separator layer inside to stop the two ends from touching one another.But somehow, the separators in some of the Samsung phone s broke, causing explosions.Overcharging is another problem that can make batteries heat up quickly. Fortunately, most batteries are designed to be abl e to automatically stop charging once they are fully charged. But again, this somehow failed to happen in some of the Sam sung phones.The two “somehows” may sound random（随机的）and hard to explain. But they actually both come from the fact that phone producers have been pushing the limits of batterie s to meet customers’ demand for a longer battery life. According to Lynden Archer, a materials scientist at Cornell U niversity, US, we have already achieved 90 percent of the batt ery life possible from a lithium-ion battery. Customers’ demand that theirdevices get thinner has also given producers little choice but t o try to put more power into thinner batteries.“The more energy you put into a box, the more dangerous it’s going to be,” Billy Wu, a lecturer at Imperial College London, told The Guardian.A thinner battery also means producers have to use thinner m aterial for separators, and thinner material has more chance of breaking.12. A separator layer is put in lithium-ion batteries in order to ___________.ensure a longer battery lifeprevent a battery from short circuitingconnect the anode and the cathodereduce a certain electrical reaction13. What are the direct reasons for the Samsung phone explo sions?Short circuiting and overheatingPushing the limits of batteriesOvercharging and thinner batteriesAutomatic charging and broken separators14. Lynden Archer’s comments indicate that ___________. demands for thinner cellphones are unreasonablelithium-ion batteries can’t hold much more power than that they do no wproducers can use 10 percent of a lithium-ion batterynew material for batteries is needed to meet consumers’ dem ands15. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the article? To describe problems facing cellphone producersTo explain the reasons for the Samsung phone explosionsTo teach us common sense when it comes to batteriesTo warn us about the dangers of lithium-ion batteries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。

AThere is a bar in our town with the name “The White Horse”. It 's Mr. Webster's. Few people went to the bar last year, but thi ngs are quite different now.There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. T hen a stranger came in one day, drank something, looked aro und the bar and then said to Mr. Webster "Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put on a pi cture of a black horse instead.""But the name of the bar is ‘The White Horse’.” Mr. Webster s aid."Yes, but do it." The man said. Then he went out of the bar.[] Mr. Webster went to an artist and said, "I want a picture of a b lack horse."The next day a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of that of the white horse. Soon after the door op ened, a man came in and said, "There is a mistake on the doo r of your bar, and the picture is different from the name." The man looked, sat down and drank something.Then another man came in and said the same, and then anot her and another. A lot of people came in and said "The pictur e on your door is wrong." And they all stopped and drank in M r. Webster's bar.1. The stranger told Mr. Webster to take down the picture of t he white horse because he knew ________.A. people would come in and tell the picture was different from the nameB. the picture of the white horse wasn't good for the barC. people would understand the picture different from the nam eD. a picture of a black horse showed good luck2.

More and more people came to the bar because ________.A. it had changed its nameB. they wanted to show t he mistakeC. the bar had a black horseD. the black horse was bet ter than the white one4. From the story we have learned that ________.A. if your business isn't good, you'd better change the name o r the pictureB. when you have difficulty, don't give upC. if you are in trouble, you should take others' ideasD. when a good name is given, it can cause successBWhy do people lie? A person lies to get himself out of a difficu lt or stressful situation or he lies to gain some benefits. So ho w should we go about recognizing those common indications(暗示) that someone is lying? Let's begin.Scratching(抓，挠) the neck，throat or mouth. When a person tells lies，he will put himself under pressure and this tends to heat up th e whole body. In order to release this heat，the liar will start to scratch his body to release the heat. Shaking of a leg or a foot. When telling a lie，a person controls his facial expression because he knows that the other person is looking at his face. However，when one is totally focused on controlling the upper body，the lower body will get out of control，which is an indication of lying.Eye direction. When a person is trying to answer a hard quest ion，usually the eyes will be looking to the left to recall things from his memory. When one cannot find the answer，the eyes will shift to look at the right which indicates that he is constructing something that is usually a lie.For more techniques to become a more effective communicator，please refer to other articles on this website.5.The writer wrote this passage to ________.A．tell us how to detect lies through body languageB．tell us the importance of detecting liesC．prove that lies can be easily detectedD．explain why people tell lies6．According to the writer，the liar will start to scratch his body because ________.

She came to this country with h er family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8 years old. During the trip she survived stormy seas，little food, and an attack by a German U-boat. After getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. Th ey never had much money but were rich in love.One day，when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers w ent on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the we ekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was to complain about how the food w as not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room. I followed a minute later a nd saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I ha d ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was t he one who had caused it.I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first ti me in my short life I did something else too. I apologized with out being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn’t feel like one then.That memory just like my Nanny’s love will stay in my heart fo rever. It is a sign of both strength and wisdom. Asking for forgi veness helps us to learn, to grow, and to love.24.Nanny’s family immigrated to America mainly because ___ __.A．they suffered starvation in their homelandB．they wanted to start a rich life in the new landC．they tried to get away from the terrible climateD．their country was in war and they needed peace25.The boy complained to Nanny that the food _____. A．wasn't cooked the way his Mom didB．was served a bit la ter than usualC．was prepared in a special wayD．was just to his parents’taste26.When seeing Nanny crying in the living room, the author fe lt _____.A．surprised B．ashamed C．shocked D．annoyed27.The author mainly wants to tell us that _____. A．forgiveness can be beneficial to people asking for it B．hardships can make children more indifferentC．grandparents are more tolerant than their grandchildren D．family ties can sometimes be misusedCFear and its companion pain are two of the most useful thin gs that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didn’t hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their han ds were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would n ot warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier—and some do exist, is not a good soldier because he is soon k illed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pai n are therefore two guards without which man and animals mi ght soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be prope rly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house beca use of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the stre et by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in yo ur house you are not absolutely safe: an aeroplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in y our roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer! The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to us e fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to a void the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight t owards you. Fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you can’t preve nt an airplane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no lon ger of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it. 28. Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt aw ay if _________.A. they were given no warning beforehandB. they had never burnt themselvesC. they had no sense of painD. they were fearful o f the fireA really fearless soldier__________.is of great use to the army B. is not a real sol dierC. is nothing but a dead soldierD. easily gets ki lled in a battle30. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger bec ause _________.A. they have gained experienceB. they jump out of the way in timeC. they are calm in face of dangerB. they are warned of the danger and take quick action What’s the writer’s suggestion when the danger can’t be avoid ed?You have to try to overcome it.Fear can really help you to run away.Fear always helps you stay safe.Fear is of great use to you.DMy husband David was waiting at the door when our daughter Laura and I pulled in the driveway. It wasn’t like him to be ho me so early.The disbelief on his face told me that something was up."Do you still have a job?""No.Redundant," he answered, looking away from me. "OK.We’ll figure it out," I replied calmly.I actually had no idea how we were going to figure it out. I im mediately started to think of how we’d cut costs and who we s hould start to get in touch with.That night, after David had falle n asleep, I cried myself to sleep, and frequently sobbed in the shower in the days that followed.I knew the loss of David’s income would have great effect on us.He had worked for the same insurance company for 21 ye ars and is our main income.I work at home caring for Laura, a nd my freelance(自由职业者的)income is uncertain.We have debts, and job hunting takes time.Still, I was more concerned about my husband’s emotional sta te than our financial situation.David’s sense of identity was tie d to his job. He called his parents to tell them about losing his job, but didn’t say a word to anyone else for weeks.He told m e that he felt like "a failure".It was tough for me to watch David struggle with unemployme nt.

They are afraid of ch ange so they find no cheese.After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing : to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly.

And now pilots can order their own “roada ble” plane for just £ 127,000.The plane，which has fold-out wings that span 17．5 ft，has a range of flying distance of 460 miles and can be up to 1 15 mph．Back on the land，it can also travel at “highway speeds” in car mode(状态)．Fuelling the 19 ft long plane couldn’t be simpler—you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up. A spokeswo man said，“You can keep you ‘light-sport airplane’ in your garage．But because it needs a short r unway to take to the air，you will have to drive to your local airport，fly up to 460 miles，land，and drive directly to your destination．You will always be read y to drive or fly．"The spokeswoman added，“Never let bad weather change your trip．You call simply dive rt(改道)and continue on the ground until the weather clears．”There’s no risk to you—This is only the chance for you to be the first at your home fiel d to unfold your wings and fly into the future．30．According to the text，the “roadable” plane．A．can fly at“highwayspeeds”in car modeB．is a kind of car with fold-out wingsC．is 19ft long and 17．5 ft wide insideD．can only travel on the highway31．We can infer that in the “Back to the Future” movies．A．there are some skillful pilotsB．pilots have no cars to driveC．pilots can’t afford a“roadable”planeD．cars can fly in the sky32．The last sentence of the text aims to．A．call for people to buy the“roadable”planeB．show people the use of the“roadable”planeC．tell people only the“roadable”plane can fly in the future D．ask people to unfold their wings and fly into the futureDMy house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also ma de out of software.If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN （个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. Whe n it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, an d then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music mov es with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it play s it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other peo ple in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want som ething. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you. The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact li ke many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, y ou need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my ca r. The car works for you because you have the keys. My hous e works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the consol e.I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have t he systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probab ly be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will workbetter than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I l ive without them?”33. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a new system.B. The function of th e PIN.C. A home for the future.D. Easy life in the future.34. What’s the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth parag raph?A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.B. To let readers know how special his house is.C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.35. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passa ge?A. An IT expert.B. A famous doctor.C. An idealistD. An experienced teacher.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。
