When the studio didn't want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul - he stood up for me, I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sring four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft〔技艺〕and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core〔核心〕of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and l didn't see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He'd been in and out of the hospital. He and 1 both knew what the deal was, and we didn't talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words.4. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?A. Paul Newman wanted it.B. The studio powers didn't like his agent.C. He wasn't famous enough.D. The director recommended someone else.5. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A. They were of the same age.B. They worked in the same theater.C. They were both good actors.D. They had similar characteristics.6. What does the underlined words “that” i n paragraph 3 refer to?A. Their belief.B. Their care for children.C. Their success.D. Their support for each other.7. W hat is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To show his love of films.B. To remember a friend.C. To introduce a new movie.D. To share his acting experience.CTerrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle–named theTransition–has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don't expect it to show up in too many driveways. It's expected to cost $279,000. And it won't help if you're stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline Industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration's decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Transition.B. The advantages of flying cars.C. The potential market for flying cars.D. The designers of the Transition.9. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causes traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It is very expensive.D. It bums too much fuel.10. What is the government's attitude to the development of the flying car?A. Cautious.B. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB. The Transition's First FlightC. Pilots' Dream Coming TrueD. Flying Car Closer to RealityDWhen a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn't sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked, It's a plant's way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to theattackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don't know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to "overhear" the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn't a tree, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的)than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There's a whole lot going on.12. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietly.D. It sends out certain chemicals.13. What does the author mean by "the tables are turned" in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attacked.B. The insects gather under the table.C. The plants get ready to fight back.D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.14. Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A. predict natural disastersB. protect themselves against insectsC. talk to one another intentionallyD. help their neighbors when necessary15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The world is changing faster than ever.B. People have stronger senses than before.C. The world is more complex than it seems.D. People in Darwin's time were more imaginative.第二节(共5小题;每题2分，总分值10分)根据短义内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV.We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection.Those were also at the core(核心)of our relationship off the screen.We shared the bel ief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you shouldput something back - he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together.We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago.He’d been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C.He wasn’t famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.25.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same age.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They have similar characteristic.26.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for children.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.CTerrafugia Inc.said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year.The vehicle-named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car.The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air.It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air.Onthe ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show.But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways.It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic.The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert.But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality.The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly.The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition,a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.28.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The basic data of the Transition.B.The advantages of flying cars.C.The potential market for flying cars. C.The designers of the Transition.29.Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A.It causes traffic jams.B.It is difficult to operate.C.It is very expensive.D.It bums too much fuel.30.What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?A.CautiousB.Favorable.C.Ambiguous.D.Disapproving.31.What is the best title for the text?A.Flying Car at Auto ShowB.The Transition’s Fist FlightC.Pilots’Dream Coming TrueD.Flying Car Closer to RealityDWhen a leafy plant is under attack ,it doesn’t sit quietly.Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get.These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know.Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself.Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry.So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的)than the world we can see and hear.Our senses are weak.There’s a whole lot going on.32.What does a plant do when it is under attack?A.It makes noises.B.It gets help from other plants.C.It stands quietlyD.It sends out certain chemicals.33.What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A.The attackers get attacked.B.The insects gather under the table.C.The plants get ready to fight back.D.The perfumes attract natural enemies.34.Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A.predict natural disastersB.protect themselves against insectsC.talk to one another intentionallyD.help their neighbors when necessary35.what can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The word is changing faster than ever.B.People have stronger senses than beforeC.The world is more complex than it seemsD.People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.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。

"Dear Google boss, my name is Chloe and when I ambigger I would like a job with Google," she wrote. "I also want to work in a chocolate factory and do swimming in the Olympics." The student said she liked computers and had a tablet she played games on. She even showed off a robot game that her dad gave her.It wasn't long before Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, replied with his own letter on Google website. In a letter dated Feb. 3, Pichai wrote, "Dear Chloe, I'm glad that you like computers and robots, and hope that you will continue to learn about technology. I think if you keep working hard and follow your dreams, you can accomplish everything you set your mind to. I look forward to receiving your job application when you are finished with school"Her father, Andy Bridgewater told ABC News he was completely shocked that his daughter received a reply. But he wasn't surprised that she decided to write the letter in the first place.“She's got determination. She doesn't see the barriers that we face every day," he explained. "If she wants to do it, she will set out to do it and nothing will stop her."The father remarked that his daughter began jumping up and down after receiving the letter. Still, he's not in a rush to send his eldest daughter off to work. "Now, my daughter is confident, although she hasn't yet fully understood that it will take more efforts than finishing her study to make it with Google," he said.5.

They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania, moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle, the source of their living.The Masai have become known as a people of fighters, protecting their cattle against lions and other enemies. Only men are fighters. They wear long hair, which is colored red with clay. They can have more than one wife. Women build and take care of the home, fixing food and making clothing. Women and children keep their heads shaved. Women can also become elders, once they have given birth to four healthy children.The Masai depend on their cattle for many parts of their life. They drink cow's milk and blood as a sacred drink. They use the cows' waste to cover and seal their homes. They don't kill their cattle for food, but if a cow is killed, then the horns (角) are used for containers; the hides are used to make shoes, clothing, ropes and bed coverings; and the bones are made into decorations.The more cattle a man owns, the richer he is considered to be. A man who owns 50 or fewer cattle is considered poor. A "rich" man has a thousand or more. The cattle, though owned by the man, are considered to belong to the man's entire family. The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal's unique voice.Masai houses are made from sticks and grass, but they are meant to be temporary, since the move of their cattle means that the Masai move as well.8. What is Masai women's daily work at home?A. They protect the cattle from being hunted.B. They give birth to babies and bring them up.C. They look after as well as name their cattle.D. They mainly deal with various housework.9. When do the Masai move from one place to another?A. They move when they have over a thousand cattle.B. They move once there are 4 children in the family.C.

Respected people.C. Brave fighters.D. Wealthy hostesses.11. It can be inferred from the text thatA. the Masai raise cattle mainly for their meatB. lions are the primary enemies of the MasaiC. the Masai are living a life in a modern wayD. the total of Masai's cattle decides their statusDUS private rocket company SpaceX has announced that two private citizens have paid to be sent around the Moon. The mission (任务) is planned for late 2018. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said, "This presents an opportunity for humans to return to deep space for the first time in 45 years."The two unnamed people will fly aboard a spaceship which is set for its first unmanned test flight later this year. The co-operation of America's NASA space agency had made the plan possible. Mr. Musk said, "The two passengers will travel faster and further into the solar system than any before them." Like the Apollo astronauts before them, these individuals will travel into space carrying the hopes and dreams of all humankind, driven by the universal human spirit of exploration."We expect to conduct health and fitness tests, as well as begin initial training later this year. The first mission would be unmanned, and the next one―with crew―was expected in the second quarter of 2018," the rich businessman and inventor said, "The first passengers are entering this with their eyes open, knowing that there is some risk here. They're certainly not childish, and we'll do everything we can to reduce that risk, but it's not zero."The space tourists would make a circle around the Moon, scanning the lunar surface and then going well beyond. However, the mission will not involve a lunar landing. "If NASA decided to take part in a lunar fly-by mission, then the agency would have privilege," Mr. Musk said. The US has not sent astronauts to the Moon since the early 1970s.12. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. The two tourists can't afford to fly around the moon.B. Space travels are rooted in the spirit of human exploration.C. Initial training is expected to be conducted at the beginning of 2018.D. The two tourists are expected to fly at a slow speed.13. The agency has privilege becauseA. it needs co-operation with Mr. MuskB. it has previous technical skillsC. it will be able to remove all the risksD. it has to make money for research14. Where can you most probably read the text?A. In a textbook.B. In a science fiction.C. In a travel brochure.D. On a news website.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. T he Coming Moon Trip of Two Private CitizensB. An Opportunity to Explore Space for the First TimeC. A Paid Trip Planned by SpaceX to 'Land on the MoonD. Two Unmanned Missions of Circling around the Moon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。

AOfficials in northern Japan are trying to reach out to foreign visitors by using comical（滑稽的）signs to inform them about local customs and food．It’s hoped that the signs will make life easier for visitors．The signs are in use in the city of Morioka，where officials hope they will make visitors who don’t speak Japanese feel more welcome，The Japan Times reports．Twenty一six signs are available for businesses to download online：one shows a cheerful little pig inside a bowl to inform diners that the dish contains pork．Another tells people to dry off before entering the changing room at hot springs，and shows a dripping-wet man in a puddle（水坑）so large that a rubber duck has appeared in it．Short English phrases beneath each sign explain the meaning.·Takefumi Shimomukai，who heads the Morioka Regional Development Bureau，says they want to do something simple but fun to attract people’s interest．The area is less of a draw for foreigners than cities like Tokyo and Kyoto，and communication troubles have made some locals reluctant（不情愿的）to reach out to visitors．“Until recently some owners believed their profits from serving only locals were enough，and due to the language barrier，they may have left foreign visitors with a feeling that they were not welcome，”he says．More hi一tech approaches to dealing with communication problems have been rolled out elsewhere in Japan，as the number of foreign visitors grows．Last year，a new app was trialed that translates rail announcements into a visitor’s own language，and some regions offer 24-hour multilingual（多语言的）hotlines for advice on everything from finding a doctor to sending luggage home．1.

So far 140 teachers have been trained in the approach．Currently，classes are often divided into groups based on ability．Critics blame the British teaching styles that focused on applying maths to real-life situations in an effort to make the subject more interesting．They say this has led to confusion and stopped children learning the basics．Under the Govemment’s new plans，children as young as five will have drills to practise sums and exercises，and must master each concept before moving to the next．Nick Gibb，the schools minister，said that training will be provided for 8,000 primary schools一half the country’s total一to switch to the Shanghai“mastery” approach．“We are seeing a renaissance（复兴）in maths teaching in this country，with good ideas from around the world helping to cheer up our classrooms，”he said．4.

ADowntown Havana resident Margarita Marquez said she received a special Christmas gift this year: web access at home, a rarity in Cuba with one of the lowest internet penetration(渗透力) rates in the world.Marquez, a 67-year-old retired university professor, was among those selected by the government two weeks ago to participate in a pilot project bringing the web into the homes of 2,000 inhabitants of the historic center ofthe island’s capital.Most of Cuba’s 11.2 million people only have access to internet at Wi-Fi hotspots, and only then if they can afford the $1.50 hourly fee that represents around 5 percent of the average monthly state salary.Only 5 percent of Cubans are estimated to enjoy internet at home, which requires government permission. This is usually granted mainly to academics, doctors and intellectuals(知识分子).“It’s like a dream come true,” said Marquez, who lives with her sister in a second-story flat in a colonial-era building. “To be in touch with the outside world is important.”Her 80-year-old sister, Leonor Franco, said the news they had been selected came as a surprise and she was excited to be surfing the web for the first time.“I had never had any experience of internet,” she said, seated in front of a laptop she has owned for two years without web access, searching for videos of her favorite singers on YouTube.She said she wanted to learn how to surf the web properly so she could make the most of the experiment as long as the government provided free internet access.“From March we will have to start paying and we don’t know if we will be able to continue. So at least we are going to enjoy January and February,” she said.1. What does the underlined word “rarity” most probably mean in the first paragraph?A. Something fashionableB. Something popularC. Something unfairD. Something uncommon2. How much should a Havana resident pay if he or she surfs the internet for two hours every day for a month?A. About $100B. About $90C. About $80D. About $603. Which statement does Leonor Franco probably disagree with?A. The internet helps her keep in touch with the outside world.B. Web access is so important that she should take good advantage of it to learn more.C. It’s unnecessary to continue using the web once it has to be paid for.D. People hope the government can provide free internet access.4. What’s the best title of the passage?A. People surf web at homeB. A pilot project helps people surf webC. Residents surf web in HavanaD. People surf web at home in Havana pilot projectBJakarta, Indonesia—At least 23 people were killed and 17 others were missing after a ferry caught fire on Sunday off the coast of Indonesia’s capital, officials said.The sea wind was blowing heavily and the ship was carrying more than 230 people from Jakarta’s port of Muara Angke to Tidung, a resort island in the Kepulauan Seribu chain, when it caught fire, officials said. Most of the passengers were Indonesians celebrating the New Year’s holiday, according to local media reports.Seply Madreta, an official from the local Disaster Mitigation Agency, said the fire gutted around half the ship. He said that about 22 injured victimswere rushed to hospitals, and that 23 bodies had been discovered.A search involving around 10 ships was underway to find those who were missing, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency said in a statement.Witnesses told MetroTV that the fire broke out about 15 minutes after the ship left Muara Angke.The cause of the fire was not immediately clear. Some passengers told local media that they first saw smoke coming from the ferry’s engine.“Most of the victims were found near the exit door at the front part of the ship. They may have attempted to escape the fire,” said Hendra Sudirman, acting head of Jakarta’s search and rescue office.5. Why did people take the ship to the island according to the passage?A. To celebrate Thanksgiving Day.B. To attend a conference.C. To enjoy the New Year’s holiday.D. To participate in a ceremony.6. How many victims were there in total suffering from the fire?A. 62B. 40C. 23D. 397. What is the reason for the fire according to the passage?A. Someone set fire to the engine deliberately.B. Some terrorists wanted to kill the passengers.C. The sea wind was too strong.D. The exact reason hasn’t been known so far.8. Where can you most probably read the passage?A. In a travel brochure.B. On a news website.C. In a textbook.D. In a science fiction.CMadrid’s city hall on Wednesday announced that it had ordered half of most private cars off the roads to fight pollution, a first in Spain.From Thursday, “Vehicles with even-number (偶数) registration plates will be allowed to drive around on even-number days and cars with odd-number (奇数) registration plates on odd-number days,” it said in a statement.The measure will be reevaluated on a daily basis depending on pollution levels.It is activated when levels of harmful nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere go above 200 micrograms per cubic meter in at least two measuring stations for two days running, and if the air is unlikely to clear immediately.There are exceptions to the ban, such as for mopeds (摩托自行车), hybrid (油电混合动力) cars, those carrying three people or more or used by disabled people. Buses, taxis and emergency vehicles are also exempt.“It’s not about traffic restrictions but about the important issue of public health,” said Deputy Mayor Marta Higueras.“Lots of people suffer from breathing problems and are very affected by pollution.”With 3.5 million residents and some 1.8 million cars, Madrid often suffers from bad bouts of pollution.The move to ban half the cars from the roads is level three out of four antipollution measures.Level four also bans taxis from the city, except those using hybrid cars.Inigo Henriquez de Luna, PP spokesman in Madrid’s local parliament, slammed it as “ideological” and said authorities should do more to encourage residents to avoid using their cars rather than punish them.The move follows a similar decision by French capital Paris earlier this month.9. According to the ban, we can know that _________________.A. all the vehicles are banned from the roads in MadridB. even-numbered cars are allowed to drive on odd-number daysC. odd-number cars are not allowed to drive on even-number daysD. there are no exceptions to the ban according to the passage10. We can learn from the passage that the purpose of the ban is ____________.A. to control pollutionB. to prevent car accidentsC. to save energyD. to relieve traffic jams11. It can be concluded from the passage that _____________.A. Affected by pollution, many people in Madrid suffer from breathing problemsB. The measure to ban half of private cars will be carried out every dayC. Fighting against pollution in Madrid is the first in EuropeD. About two people in Madrid own a car, causing the pollution so serious12. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. An anti-pollution measure is being taken in Madrid for people’s health.B. Madrid is doing a research to know about the serious level of its air pollution.C. Madrid is trying to restrict the number of cars that its residents can buy.D. Public vehicles are not ordered off the roads in the anti-pollution activity in Madrid.DHave you ever dreamed of a short day trip to a coastal town in Europe? Here’s a look at a few of the best European coastal cities for a day trip you may never have heard of.Kamenjak, Croatia: Visit Protected Beaches in This Secluded Paradise Kamenjak is an undeveloped protected nature reserve just South of Pula.Visitors to the city can experience pebble (鹅卵石) beaches, beautiful wildflowers and greenery, with access to the pristine(原始的) Adriatic Sea. Navigate through wildflower gardens and waterfront paths to find the perfect spot on the beach, or head to the southern tip of the peninsula and switch to west to experience a spectacular, 2.5-mile stretch of pebbly bays.Cala Gonone, Sardinia: Capture Fantastic Views of the Mediterranean Situated along the Eastern coast of Sardinia, Cala Gonone provides access to about 25 miles of pristine beaches. A short boat trip can take you to incredible cliffs and hidden valleys that can’t be accessed otherwise. Cala Gonone is known as one of the primary rock-climbing areas in Sardinia. This place is exactly the best choice for a relaxing day with incredible views of the Mediterranean Sea.Rovinj in Istria, Croatia: Relax Near Natural Beauty and Ancient CultureCroatia is building a solid reputation for its unique scenery. Rovinj is a unique village in Istria, near Pula. It’s one of the best locations for capturing the essence (精髓) of the mysterious country. Situated in the Istrian Peninsula with a mystical feel, the town is a major draw for artists, poets, and those who appreciate natural beauty and ancient culture. There are a few well-known monuments worth visiting in Rovinj, including the Church of St Euphemia, which provides an exceptional view of the entire village. Skagen, Denmark: Beautiful Beaches and an Art Museum to Match Denmark is usually not known for the beaches, but the town of Skagen easily puts the city on this list with the beautiful beach. White sand makes this quite a pleasing place for the eyes. With the beauty that this town brings, many artists come here for inspiration as well as to view works of art at the museum nearby. For the different type of tourist, there is even a teddy bear museum, which proves to be entertaining for visitors.13. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To introduce the background.B. To arouse readers’ attention.C. To raise a question.D. To draw a conclusion.14. If you travel with a kid who likes teddy bears, you can choose___________.A. Cala Gonone, SardiniaB. Skagen, DenmarkC.

As a result,he couldn’t move most of his body.In the same situation,many people might give up.However,Long thought that his life remained full of meaning and purpose.He said,“I broke my neck,it didn’t break me.”Start to develop this positive attitude today.Then,you’ll be better prepared for anything.Focus on survival.Four young people headed into the middle of the Amazon rain forest.They thought they were on an amazing adventure,but then things started to go wrong.One of the adventurers,Yossi Ghinsberg,ended up alone and lost in the Bolivian jungle for three weeks.During that time he repeated the phrase“man of action”to motivate ter,he explained it like this.“A man of action does whatever he must,isn’t afraid,and doesn’t worry.”If you find yourself in a crisis,stay positive and focus on survival.Everything else will take care of itself later.(Now listen again,please.)Questions11.What is Jerry Long likely to agree with?12.How did Ghinsberg manage to leave the jungle safely?13.What does the speaker want to tell us?Questions14through16are based on the following passage.Ahmed Zewail was an Egyptian chemist.He won a scholarship for doctoral studies in the United States at the age of23. When he arrived at the University of Pennsylvanian in1969,he was painfully aware that his homeland was seen as a loser in the technological race.His English was so poor that some of his new university colleagues even wondered whether he could finish the task in the chemistry lab.After earning his doctor’s degree,he spent two years of research at the University of California.Then he went to California Institute of Technology in1976and worked there for40years.When he won a Nobel Prize in chemistry,he had a new mission:Bringing world-class science education to Egypt.He was well aware that modern science is the generator of economic well-being,so he flew to Egypt,his homeland,to meet with President and proposed the creation of a university of science and technology.The university won government permission to begin enrolling students in Dec.2012.Dr.Zewail died in2016,a few years after the creation of a university near Cairo named after him.Egyptian President attended his military funeral.Although military funerals are usually held for military personnel,Zewail received the highest Egyptian state honor.(Now listen again,please.)Questions14.When did the University named after Dr.Zewail begin to enroll students?15.What did Dr.Zewail do to improve Egyptian education?16.Why was Dr.Zewail given a military funeral?Questions17through20are based on the following conversation.M:Today,we have Professor McKay on our morning talk show.Good morning,Professor McKay.I’ve heard that you andyour team have just completed a report on old age.W:That’s right.Well,the report basically looks into the various beliefs that people hold about old age and tries to confirm them.M:And what do you think your report can achieve?W:We hope that it will somehow help people to change their feelings about old age.The problem is that far too many of us believe that most old people are poor,lonely,and unhappy.As a result,we tend to find old people,as a group, unattractive.And this is very dangerous for our society.M:But surely we cannot escape the fact that many old people are lonely and many are sick.W:No,we can’t.But we must also remember that the proportion of such people is no greater among the60-70age group than among the50-60age group.M:In other words,there is no more mental illness,for example,among the60s-70s than among the50s-60s.W:Right!M:Are people’s mental abilities affected by old age?W:Certain changes do take place as we grow older,but this happens throughout life.These changes are very gradual and happen at different times with different people,but,in general,if you know a person well in his middle age and have seen how he deals with events and problems,you will easily recognize him in an old age.M:So that someone who enjoys new experiences,travel,education,and so on in his middle years will usually continue to do so into old age?W:Exactly!(Now listen again,please.)Questions:17.What do we know about the report according to the conversation?18.What kind of problem of the old is our society facing?19.What do we know about the old according to the conversation?20.What does Professor McKay think the report can achieve?(That’s the end of listening.)。

AMy doorbell rings at 11 a.m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.I know what is inside the paper carrier bag —a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.Communication between my benefactor (恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “hello”. O nce, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time” I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding forher” I said.“Oh，no,” Nicole said. “Don’t worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.”The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68—13 years younger than I am — and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper earner bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.“Thank you” is, of course，the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.1. The author and Wing got to know each other .A. as next door neighborsB. when exchanging mealsC. by sharing similar experiencesD. after using an iPad to communicate2. The underlined word “reciprocate” in Paragraph 5 probably means.A. do as wellB. offer generouslyC. give in returnD. accept with pleasure3. The author’s effort to learn Mandarin shows her .A. great satisfactionB. real kindnessC. heartfelt thanksD. sincere friendshipBIt’s not what you look at that matters; it’s what you see.——Henry David Thoreau Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.Why slow?When people look slowly at a piece of art，they make discoveries. The most importantdiscovery they make is that they can s ee and experience art without an expert. And that’s an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.How does it work?One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience. That^ it. Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art. In fact, Slow Art Day works quite well this way.By the numbersOver 1,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010. Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.700 venues (museums, galleries, artist studios, sculpture parks, public art sites, etc.) have hosted Slow Art Day events.Participants love Slow Art DayFeedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive. Here’s a sample:“I loved taking the time to just ‘be’ with the works,particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by. It’s a much bette r way of doing the art museum than the usual idle ramble. Discussion afterwards was fun，interesting, informative and eye-opening. I look forward to doing it again.”Slow Art Day 2017 is Saturday, April 8, in museums and galleries worldwide.

That’s OK, we don’t either.Guess we’ll all have to make do by watching the celestial (天空的)show that will take place that night.First, there will be a full moon. That’s always fun, but this one will be a little more sp ecial. It’s known as a “snow moon.” The name comes from the fact that the heaviest snows usually fall during February, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.But i f that’s not special enough, there’s also an eclipse (月食)that night. It’ll be a penumbral lu nar eclipse, meaning ifs a partial eclipse that leaves sections of the moon darkened by the earth’s shadow. No, it won’t be as spectacular as those “blood moon” eclipses. It’ll be subtler. The level of darkness it reached during the eclipse may or may not be apparent; it just depends on where you are when you view it.In North America, the eclipse begins at 5:34 p.m. ET and ends at 9:53 p.m. ET, according to astronomy website EarthSky. The eclipse will be at its height around 7:44 p.m. ET.If that’s still not enough, let’s throw in a comet (彗星)to the night’s festivities.Comet 45P (it has a much longer name, but we won’t burden you with it here) is visible as it flies by Earth. The comet will get within 7.4 million miles of the planet as it makes its closest approach this weekend, according to Universe Today.Comet 45P will be the most visible a couple of hours after the eclipse, so look to the skies again around 3 a.m. ET Saturday and find the greenish-blue light with a tail.And don’t forget, a total big-time solar eclipse will streak across the United States on August21st.8. According to the text, what can be viewed on Friday night?A. A blood moon.B. A total solar eclipse.C. A partial lunar eclipse.D. A comet without a tail.9.

The game is the culmination (髙潮)to a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally, Roman numerals are used to identifyeach game, father than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season. The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 4, 2018, will follow the 2017 regular season.The game was created as part of a merger (合并)agreement between the NFL and its then-rival league, the American Football League (AFL). Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl victories, with six. The New England Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances, with nine.The day (usually the first Sunday in February) on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered as an unofficial American national holiday, is called “Super Bowl Sunday”. I t is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the seven most-watched broadcasts in U.S. television history are Super Bowls. In 2015, Super Bowl XLIX attracted an audience of 114.4 million.Because of the high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year, leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, popular singers and musicians including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Whitney Houston, and Lady Gaga have performed during the event's pre-game and halftime ceremonies.12.
