make someone else's life a little easier，I decided to （3）the paper and gently throw it towards their door．（4），my aim was way off and instead of landing on the doorstep the paper flew in the （5）direction and landed on the roof of a truck in the driveway．No one saw it but me and I burst out（爆发）laughing before I realized what I had done made the problem （6）．I took a look at my watch and

highest pointD．have special activities after arriving on the first day13．（6分）Everyone has got two personalities ﹣﹣﹣the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior，but when you're asleep，your sleeping position（位置）shows the real you．In a usual night，of course，people often change their position．The important position is the one that you go to sleep in．If you go to sleep on your back，you're a very open person．You usually trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas．You don't like to make people around sad，so you never express your real feelings．You're quite shy and you aren't very confident．If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive（不坦率的）person．You worry a lot and you're always easily unhappy．You're very stubborn （顽固的），but you aren't very ambitious（有野心的）．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．This means that you enjoy having a good time．If you sleep curled up（卷曲），you are probably a very nervous person．You have a low opinion of yourself and so you often feel unsafe．You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people．You prefer to be on your own．You're easily hurt．If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well﹣balanced personality．You know your strengths and weaknesses．You're usually careful．You have a confident personality．You sometimes feel worried，but youdon't often get depressed（沮丧的）．You always say what you think even if it may make people angry．（1）According to the writer，you naturally show your secret and real personality．A．only in a usual nightB．only when you're sleepingC．only when you refuse to show yourself to the worldD．only when you change sleeping position（2）If a person is used to

life．D．He / she often dreams to be a big person．（3）Maybe you don't want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up．Why？A．He / she would rather be alone than talk with you．B．He / she is seldom ready to give you a hand．C．He / she prefers staying at home to going out．D．He / she wouldn't like to get help from you．14．（6分）The Chinese film，Wolf Warriors II，whose box office（票房收入）is over 2.5billion yuan in less than 10days，has become a wonder．In the film，a Chinese soldier ventures（冒险）alone into a war field in Africa to save histrapped partners．It fired its audience（观众）greatly，so much so that many viewers said on social media（媒体）that they would want to join the army．However，not all who saw the Hollywood﹣style movie enjoyed it．While US superheroes who save the planet from time to time are popular all over the world，the Chinese action film caught the BBC's attention，calling it a "nationalist action film．" What's more，the BBC translated the last sentence this way："Anyonewho offends（冒犯）China will be killed no matter（不管）how far he is．"How bad﹣tempered China appears to be in this sentence．It seems that anyone who deals with China can never be too careful because they would be killed．China is made to look like a killer．However，the original（起源的）Chinese words in fact mean that anyone who attacks China will be punished，no matter how far he is．The mistranslation of one word draws a completely different picture of China and Chinese people．The BBC，which should be fair and reasonable，unluckily often provides unreasonable reporting on China．It seldom sees China's progress，but never lets bad things pass away．This will only harm the BBC's image（形象）．No wonder US President Donald Trump（特朗普）called the BBC "fake （假的）news"earlier this year．The BBC's China prejudice（偏见）is just the tip of the iceberg（冰山一角），and is very common among Western media．When reporting on China and Chinese civilization（文明），they exactly need to do some homework right now．（1）What does the underlined word "bad﹣tempered" most probably mean in the passage？A．缺少友爱的B．脾气糟糕的C．没有耐心的D．挑衅好斗的（2）According to the passage，Wolf Warriors II．A．shows China's determination（决心）in killing criminalsB．has the biggest price in the film ticket in the historyC．inspires（激发）many people's deep love for our countryD．leads many young people to join in the army at once（3）Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage？A．Wolf Warriors IIB．Chinese civilizationC．The BBC mediaD．The BBC's China prejudice15．（8分）Tess still stood hesitating（犹豫）like a swimmer about to make his dive （跳水），hardly knowing whether to return or move forward，when a tall young man came out from the dark door，smoking．He had an almost black face，though red and smooth．His moustache（胡子）was black with curled（卷曲的）points．There was an unusual force in his face．"Well，my beauty，what can I do for you？" said he，coming forward．And seeing that she was quite at a loss，"Never mind me．I am Mr．d'Urberville．Have you come to see me or my mother？"This differed greatly from what Tess had expected．She tried to keep calm and answered ﹣"I came to see your mother，sir．""I am afraid you cannot see her ﹣she is ill in bed，" replied the young man，Mr．Alee，the only son of the noble（贵族的）family．"What is the business you wish to see her about？""It isn't business ﹣it is ﹣if I tell you，it will seem ﹣" Tess's sense of ridicule （嘲弄）was now so strong that her pink face appeared towards a smile，much to the attraction of the young man．"It is so stupid"，she said lowly；"I fear I can't tell you!""Never mind；I like stupid things．Try again，my dear，" said he kindly．"Mother asked me to come，" Tess continued，"and，indeed，but I did not think it would be like this．I came，sir，to tell you that we are of the same family as you．""Ho! Poor relatives？""Yes．""Stokes？""No；d'Urbervilles．""Ay，ay；I mean d'Urbervilles．""Our names are passed away to Durbeyfield；but we have several proofs（证据）that we are d'Urbervilles．﹣﹣And ﹣﹣and we have an old silver spoon marked with the same castle（城堡）as yours．So Mother said we should make ourselves known to you，as we've lost our horse by a bad accident；we can hardly make a living．""Very kind of your mother，I'm sure．" Alec looked at Tess as he spoke，in a way that made her uncomfortable．"And so，my pretty girl，you've come on a friendly visit to us，as relatives？""I suppose I have，" looking less confident and uncomfortable again．"Well ﹣﹣﹣there's no harm in it．Where do you live？What are you？"﹣﹣﹣Tess of the d'Urbervilles By Thomas Hardy（1）How does Tess feel during the whole meeting with Alec？A．Excited and hopeful．B．Pleased but embarrassed（尴尬的）．C．Surprised but comfortable．D．Nervous and uncomfortable．（2）In the eyes of Tess，Alec is．A．a gentle and helpful manB．unfriendly and talks too muchC．forceful and daring（大胆的）D．smarter than she had expected（3）Why does Tess pay the visit to the d'Urbervilles？A．To see Alec himself．B．To make sure of their relationship and ask for help．C．To see Alec's mother．D．To make sure that they are of the same family．（4）Alec seems quite friendly to Tess mainly because．A．Tess is a pretty girlB．Tess looks polite to himC．Tess is his distant relativeD．Tess looks ridiculous四、阅读表达16．（5分）It's increasingly common to see pets at work，especially at smaller companies settings（背景）in New York City．LinkedIn has 178results for "dog friendly" jobs in NY，which probably means they either have one kind of "office dog" or many more employees（员工）may bring their dogs in．Big names like Google，Mashable，and Amazon have pet﹣friendly plans that welcome these companions（伙伴）into the office every day．Seeing this action as a non﹣money award，smaller companies are following it by allowing dogs into the workplace．It helps create an environment of work friendliness and a recognition （认可）of job devotion．The benefits（益处）are sure to be seen：pets help reduce stress and may increase communication and socialization and there is plenty of research to show this good influence．About 60% of Americans own a pet．It's not surprising therefore that it brings in a cultural change toward allowing free access（通路）for pets in spaces．There has been a lot of research on the influence that pets have on children，the elderly，the sick，and prisoners．For example，pets may help the feeling development of children by putting them in a situation where they learn how to care for others．Pets have been shown to help elderly Americans remain social and movable，and may reduce sadness in this population．In another study，it was found that the appearance of a companion dog at work encouraged employees to be more cooperative，communicative，and friendly toward each other than in groups where there was no companion dog．This supports the opinion that pets may provide access to social conversation．The rising trend（趋势）of pets at work17．（1分）Those talented（music）works sound really great．18．（1分）It took him nearly one hour to work out the maths problem （success）．19．（1分）Why is your room always（tidy）？Do you need a lesson？20．（1分）Simon and Linda looked at each other．They kept the secrets to （they）．21．（1分）"Double Eleven" has been considered a special day for（单身的）men andwomen in China．22．（1分）China has been making great（成就）in every field these years，which amazes the world．23．（1分）What a pity!

saw the Hollywood﹣style movie enjoyed it．While US superheroes who save the planet from time to time are popular all over the world，the Chinese action film caught the BBC's attention，calling it a "nationalist action film．" What's more，the BBC translated the last sentence this way："Anyone who offends（冒犯）China will be killed no matter（不管）how far he is．"How bad﹣tempered China appears to be in

that anyone who attacks China will be punished，no matter how far he is．The mistranslation of one word draws a completely different picture of China and Chinese people．The BBC，which should be fair and reasonable，unluckily often provides unreasonable reporting on China．It seldom sees China's progress，but never lets bad things pass away．This will only harm the BBC's image（形象）．No wonder US President Donald Trump（特朗普）called the BBC "fake （假的）news"earlier this year．The BBC's China prejudice（偏见）is just the tip of the iceberg（冰山一角），。

teacher，complete our extracurricular（课程以外的）activities，come home to have a quick dinner，talk for eight minutes with our parents and do homework until we fall asleep．But then we remember．We have to look at the American College Test（ACT）exercises one more time．Half asleep，we run downstairs to get the ACT book，and start studying．After this we finally get to turn off the lights and drift away to sleep．And then six hours later，we do it allover again．In my health class，my teacher told us that teenagers need at least eight to nine hours of sleep each night．The sad truth is，with so much to do every day，high school students cannot keep to this sleep schedule（安排）．Let me ask you all a question：Doesn't it seem more humane（人道的）to give a teenager perhaps two hours of homework each night？This

face at him and gave him the back of her head for the space of a minute．When she slowly faced around again，an apple lay before her．She pushed it away．Tom gently put it back．She pushed it away again，but with less animosity（敌意）．Tom patiently returned it to its place．Then she let it remain．Tom wrote on his paper，"Please take it-I got more．" The girl glanced at the words，but made no sign．Now the boy began to draw something on the paper，hiding his work with his left hand．For a time the girl refused to notice；but her human curiosity（好奇心）soon began to show itself by hardly noticeable（明显的）signs．The boy worked on，seemingly not aware．The girl made some non-committal（含糊的）efforts to see，but the boy did not display that he was aware of it．At last she couldn't bear it and whispered："Let me see it．"Tom partly uncovered the picture of a house with some smoke rising from the chimney（烟囱）．Then the girl's interest began to fasten itself upon the work and she forgot everything else．When it was finished，she gazed a moment，then whispered："It's nice-draw a man．"The artist created a man in the front yard；she was satisfied，and whispered："It's a beautiful man--now draw me in it．"Tom drew an hour-glass（沙漏）as the body，a full moon as her head and some arms added to it．The girl said："It's ever so nice-I wish I could draw．No one has ever taught me that．""It's easy，"

Western highschools，poetry is seldom taught because it is considered to be out of date and have little to do with the life of today's students．In China．however．poetry is still an important part of the curriculum（课程）．Recently，the Ministry of Education has increased the number of ancient Chinese poems for students to memorize and recite，from 14to 72．Why is it important to learn poems？First of all，poetry is a necessary part of learning traditional Chinese culture．It is a path to understanding your history and your society．It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and feelings that

put those feelings into words and bring us self-understanding．Poems can also express beauty．In a few short lines，even something common can become beautiful．Here is a poem called Fog by Carl Sandberg：The fog comes/on silent haunches（弓腰）/and then moves on．Yes，fog does move smoothly，silently and like a cat，and Sandberg catches that feeling and image（形象），and makes it beautiful．Of course，to really enjoy poetry，it has to be read aloud．After all，a poem is really just a song without music．Most ancient poetry，like Homer's Epics（《荷马史诗》）and China's Book of Songs，was spoken for hundreds of

Summer is finally here for most of us. Sadly, summer is not so pleasant to people in a bit less lucky places, where air conditioning （空调） is not easy to get for most of them.But as a saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way, especially for those who like doing ityourself（DIY）. A young man from Bangladesh（孟加拉国） designed an air conditioning system called the Eco Cooler, one that does not require power, and is made of the world’s most common waste—plastic bottles.The Eco Cooler is super simple to build—no special engineering skills are required. First, to fix it,a window should be taken away and replaced（替代） by it. Second, a board should be cut into the size of a window. Some bottle—neck sized holes should then be cut onto the board. Then, the funnel—shaped（漏斗状）bottlenecks, cut from the plastic bottles, should be put into the holes.The next step is to fix the design onto the window frame（框） with the wider side facing outwards. And this is it.The Eco Cooler then works by catching the winds and sending them inside the building. It can reduce the temperature of a room by as much as 5°C—a big difference when looking at comfortable 25°C compared to uncomfortable 30°C.The idea of the inventor, Ashis Paul, was to show his great product to as many People as possible. For this purpose, he received help from some groups of volunteers. Together, they offered to help local people build and fix the units, as well as teach them how to make them themselves. Yes, the Eco Cooler is not a super high—tech air conditioning system, but it is one that can make abig difference.( B)When building the Eco Cooler, we should pay special attention to .A. the shape of the windowB. the direction of bottlenecksC. the temperature of the outsideD. the weight of the board( C)What can we learn from the passage？A. Ashis Paul is a clever inventor and a successful businessman.B. An Eco Cooler can fix the room temperature to comfortable 25°C.C. The new invention of Eco Cooler is friendly to the environment.D. Local people will replace their air conditioner with an Eco Cooler. ( D)What’s the best title of this passage？A. DIY air conditioning made from plastic bottlesB. Eco Cooler——a super high—tech air conditionerC. Why do we need an Eco Cooler in summer？D. A strong—willed inventor and his DIY dream13. How to investigate①Planning•Decide on a scientific problem to investigateFor example, a student named Mary has decided to research into how quickly sugar dissolves（溶解） in water.•Write down your hypothesisYou may already have an idea of what you expect to happen in your investigation. This idea is called your hypothesis. It may not be right! It is just an idea, though it may be based on work in science which you have done before. The aim of your investigation is to test your idea.•Decide what variables（变量） you are dealing withThings like temperature, size, weight, and colour are called variables. Variables are things you canmeasure（测量）.In your investigation, you have to decide what the variables are, which ones you will keep fixed, and which you will change.You need to change just one variable at a time. If lots of variables change at once. it won’t be a good test.•Decide what equipment you need, and in what order you will do things •Prepare tables for your results②Getting your evidence（数据）•Make your measurements, and record your results③Reaching conclusions•Look for patterns in your results•Present your conclusionsWhat links（关联） did you find between any of the variables？ Howwould you explain these links？④Checking your findings•Compare your conclusions and hypothesisDo your results support your idea？( D)What does the underlined word “hypothesis” most probably mean？A. reasonB. resultC. methodD. guess( A)In Mary’s investigation, which of the following about the variables is true？A.

We wake up very early to go to school, maybe even earlier to meet witha teacher, complete our extracurricular（课程以外的） activities, come home to have a quick dinner, talk for eight minutes with our parents and do homework until we fall asleep. But then we remember. We have to look at the American College Test（ACT） exercises one more time. Half asleep, we run downstairs to get the ACT book, and start studying.

At the same time, we will find life interesting for us through reading them.In my opinion, I would like to choose practical essays. On the one hand, they can help us deal with our life problems. On the other hand, social news can let us know what happens every day around the world.。

way to school，I told her repeatedly how （17）her new school life would be and expected she would feel （18）．But when she saw the massive group of students everywhere，her face at once fell and the tears （眼泪）came into her eyes．"You can do this，sweetie．Everyone has a place in line；let'sgo to find yours．"We lined up to enter the school．Just as she was about to hold on to my leg，her friend from preschool

street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris．She reached into her change purse，emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man．Neither of them realized that this small generous act would change their lives．Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the followingmorning．She and her husband，Bill Krejci，rushed to see if they could find Billy．The homeless man was not only in the same place，he also immediately returned the ring．The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had．Bill Krejci，a web designer，felt that he needed to do something more for this amazingly honest man．So on February 18th，he set up a special page to raise money for him．In just four days，Billy received over $85，000and there seems to be no end yet．That is not enough．Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living in the streets．And that's not all﹣thanks to the news report，he got together again with his older brother，Edwin Harris，who he had been unable to find for 27years．All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing﹣returning something that did not belong to him．28．When did Sarah realize that she had also given Billy the diamond ring？A．On February 9th，2013．B．On February 10th，2013．C．On February 18th，2013．D．On February 22nd，2013．29．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？A．Billy is living with a generous person．B．Billy has found his brother．C．Billy

insects and animals of different colors．Have you ever wondered why Locusts are super delicious food for birds，but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them．It is neither because locusts aregood jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies．The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops（庄稼）．When crops are young，locusts look green．But when autumn comes，locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do．Brown bears，tigers and other animals move quietly through forests．They can't be seen easily by their enemies．This is because they have colors similar（类似的）to the trees．For the same reason，polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white．Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers．Soil （土壤）insects are mostly dark﹣colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment．However，insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others．So in order to survive，they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night．Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts？The ink fish（墨鱼）in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger．As the ink spreads over（散开），its enemies（敌人）will find themselves suddenly in a dark world．At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away．That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all．31．It is not easy for birds to catch locusts because．．A．locusts are good runnersB．locusts can jump very highC．locusts are smarter than birdsD．locusts can change their color32．According

meaning of the underlined word "survive" in the passage．A．繁殖B．产卵C．觅食D．生存34．The ink fish so that its enemies will not see it．A．changes its colorB．makes the water around it blackC．appears only at nightD．hides itself in the sea rocks35．What is the main idea of this passage？A．Some insects and animals have different skills．B．Some insects and animals are clever than we think．C．Some insects and animals use colors to protect themselves．D．Some insects and animals can get used to （习惯）the environment easily．36．（5分）Mark Twain left school when he was twelve．He had little school education．In spite of this，he became the most famous writer of his time．He made millions of dollars by writing．His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens，but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain，his penname．Mark Twain was born in 1835and he was not a healthy baby．In fact，he was not expected to live through the first winter．But with his mother's care，he managed to survive．As a boy，he caused much trouble for his parents．He used to play jokes on all his friends and neighbors．He didn't like to go to school，and he often ran away from home．He always went in the direction of the nearby

investments（投资）and he had to write large numbers of stories to pay these debts．In 1904，his wife died，and then three of his children passed away．At the age of 70，his hair was completely white．He bought

knew that I would get my scores in the same class today．After the bell rang，every student sat in his or her seat impatiently．Then，one by one，the teacher called our names．As each paper was given back to the correct student，the front of the answer paper would always be turned to face the ground and the paper itself would be slightly folded （折叠）to prevent anyone from seeing．In fact，folding each test paper is a way to make sure that each student sees only his or her own scores．The scores are seen as private information not to be announced or shown to others．As a way to keep the students' score records secret，each student is given an online account （账号）with which to check his or her grades posted on the official school website．Protecting students' private information always comes first in US schools that want to free students from unnecessary pressure．School reports are guarded closely to prevent poor grades from damaging a student's dignity and reputation （尊严和声誉），which are for himself or herself only．However，some insist that although students' feelings and self﹣dignity are easily hurt，they cannot be forever protected．They say that school also teaches their students to make themselves stronger in mind，and the classroom should show the reality of competition in society．Scores that everyone can see might better encourage students to work harder to be better than others．66．（10分）根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66﹣75的相应位置上．America is a mobile society．Friendships between Americans can be close and real，but disappear soon if situations change．Neither side gets h （66）by this．They may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two，perhaps a few letters for a while ﹣then no m （67）．If the same two people meet again by chance，even years later，they pick up the friendship．This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to u （68），because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings，extending（延伸）sometimes deeply into b （69）families．Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that a （70）they treat us warmly in their personal everyday lives，they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time．This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be g （71）with our time．Sometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of thenight to meet a friend．We may take days off to act as g （72）to show our best friends around．The Americans，however，express their welcome usually at homes，but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine（事务）．They will be likely to expect us to get ourselves from the a （73）to our own hotel by bus．And they expect that we will phone them from there．Once we arrive at their homes，the welcome will be full，warm and real．We will find o （74）treated hospitably．For the Americans，it is more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to r （75），except for purely business matters．So accept their hospitality （好客）at home!六、书面表达（满分15分）76．（15分）随着社会的发展，通讯的方式从远古时代的书信到当今的互联网，经历着巨大的变化．请你写一篇短文，谈谈你对现代通讯工具的使用及看法．内容包括：1．你喜欢使用的通讯方式有哪些？2．它们的优点和缺点是什么？3．你认为使用现代通讯工具要注意什么？要求：1．不能照抄原文，不得在作文中出现真实的学校名称和姓名；2．语意连贯，词数80左右．开头已给出，不计入总词数．As

9th，2013，Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris．She reached into her change purse，emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man．Neither of them realized that this small generous act would change their lives．Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning．She and her husband，Bill Krejci，rushed to see if they could find Billy．The homeless man was not only in the same place，he also immediately returned the ring．The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had．Bill Krejci，a web designer，felt that he needed to do something more for this amazingly honest man．So on February 18th，he set up a special page to raise money for him．In just four days，Billy received over $85，000and there seems to be no end yet．That is not enough．Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living in the streets．And that's not all﹣thanks to the news report，he got together again with his older brother，Edwin Harris，who he had been unable to find for 27years．All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing﹣returning something that did not belong to him．28．When did Sarah realize that she had also given Billy the diamond ring？B

Harris．【解答】28． B 细节理解题．根据"On February 9th，2013，Sarah ……didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning．"可知，在2013年2月9日的后一天早上，也就是2013年2月10日，萨拉意识到她也给了比利钻石戒指．故答案为B．29．C 细节理解题．根据第一段的"She reached into her change purse，emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man．"和第二段的"Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier "的意思"她把手伸进零钱包里，把所有的硬币都拿出来，交给了那个无家可归的人．"和"萨拉没有意识到她不仅给了比利所有的零钱，而且还给了她早些时候放在零钱包里的钻戒．"，可知钻石戒指是萨拉当做硬币施舍给他的，文中没有提到比利买戒指的事情．故答案为C．30．A 细节理解题．根据"Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning．"和"he also immediately returned the ring"可知，钻石戒指是属于萨拉的，萨拉把戒指当成硬币施舍给了比利，第二天早上比利又还给了萨拉．故答案为A．。
