AI have many new teachers in high school, but Lori Runkle, my English Language and Composition teacher, is my favorite teacher.Ms. Runkle enjoys getting to know more about students, so I have many chances to talk with her after class. I have always wanted to become a journalist. Since Ms. Runkle used to be a journalist back in the United States, she has introduced many helpful journalistic writing skills to me.Although she is my teacher, Ms. Runkle and I are more like friends. She often invites my classmates and me to take part in different activities outside of school. For example, I went to listen to a journalist's speech, which helped me better understand current events (时事).Not only does Ms. Runkle talk with me outside of school, she is also a great teacher in the classroom. English Language and Composition is a really hard subject for a second language learner. We felt worried in the beginning, but Ms. Runkle really makes an effort to help us out. In class, Ms. Runkle always encourages students to question everything to keep us active. One part of class I love the most is when groups of students are required to give speeches on events that are happening in the world. It requires a lot of deep thinking and I really learn quite a lot from it.I love Ms. Runkle very much. She not only helps me to get good scores, but also acts as a good friend and always gives me advice on life.1. After class, the author _____.A. seldom sees Ms. RunkleB. talks with Ms. Runkle quite a lotC. enjoys introducing Ms. Runkle to her friendsD. often invites Ms. Runkle to different activities2. We can infer from the text that Ms. Runkle is _____.A. friendly and helpfulB. kind and humorousC. clever and activeD. strict and boring3. The author's favorite part of Ms. Runkle's class is when Ms. Runkle _____.A. tells them how to get good scoresB. asks them questions about the worldC. asks them to describe current eventsD. tells them about events that are happening4. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A. To express how much she misses Ms. Runkle.B. To look back on her special high school life.C. To describe an unforgettable teacher.D. To show what makes a good teacher.BIn my thirty years as a time management speaker, I have observed (观察) a lot of what we can not and should not do to increase our daily results. Time management is not necessarily working harder, but rather smarter.A lot of our time management has to do more with what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are some time management mistakes we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency: Start your day without a plan of action. Without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough right things. Time management is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. That just gets us nowhere faster. Time management is doing the right things.Work with a messy desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. That’s seven and a half hours per week. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easily find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment.Don’t take a lunch break. Many people do not take a lunch break. They work through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to finish the task. Studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, our mind will become boring. A lunch break, even a fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again.5. With a plan of action, you can ______.A. work harderB. do the wrong things more rapidlyC. avoid doing wrong thingsD. get nowhere faster6. Working with a messy desk or work area, you will ______.A. waste a lot of timeB. find the things you need easilyC. become a top managerD. save seven and a half hours per week7. The text mainly tells us ______.A. how to avoid wasting timeB. we should get our batteries charged upC. how important time management isD. some time management mistakesCOnce, two phoenix birds flew over a small village in Hunan province. The village was so beautiful that the birds never wanted to leave. This story was recited to me during my visit to Fenghuang, adding a mystery to this ancient town.Fenghuang is a snapshot (快照) of idyllic (田园诗般的) village life in rural China. Set alongside the banks of the Tuojiang River, Fenghuang is full of small, winding alleys andsurrounded by green hills. Having travelled directly from the bustling city of Changsha, Fenghuang was a breath of fresh air.When I visited Fenghuang, it was July. My friend and I excitedly explored, walking along the ancient city wall and crossing the beautiful, old bridges. Despite the crowds of tourists, it seemed as if life in this corner of China had not changed for centuries. People were very relaxed. They were never bothered by the hot weather nor by the tourists, walking, eating and playing outdoors. On our first evening we bought spicy, cold noodles from a street vendor and ate on the riverbank as we watched the sun set.We stayed in a small hotel similar to many of the traditional buildings in the village. Our room was built on high stilts (桩子) over the banks of the river. From our window we could hear the rush of the water and the sounds of excited tourists travelling in small boats downstream. Even in modern times, the river continues to be the life of the village. We saw people busy at work catching fish, or ferrying tourists for sightseeing. Young children played in shallow waters and families washed their clothes and dishes.Although there were many visitors to Fenghuang, we did not see any other foreign people during our stay. It felt like we’d found a treasure to know that we had visited somewhere off the beaten track!After two days’ exploring the village, I could fully understand the legend of the phoenix. I was unwilling to leave.8. The author mentions the story of the phoenix birds in the first paragraph mainly to ______.A. show her deep interest in Chinese cultureB. introduce the topic of her trip to the town of FenghuangC. explain how the town of Fenghuang got its nameD. describe the beautiful scenery of the town of Fenghuang9. Which of the following is mentioned in the article about the town of Fenghuang?A. food cultureB. geographyC. living habitsD. weather and climate10. We can infer from the article that the author found her trip to the town of Fenghuang ______.A. boringB. relaxingC. quite an adventureD. a waste of time and money11. The underlined expression “off the beaten track” in the fifth paragraph is closest to “______” in meaning.A. far away from other people and placesB. not on a small pathC. next to a broken railwayD. easy to reach by carDYears ago, the American writer Kurt Vonnegut often said there was one story that would always make a million dollars: “Cinderella” (《灰姑娘》).“Cinderella” made more like $70 million in ticket sales when it opened last weekend. But the movie got a mixed reaction. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter praised the movie and said, “Anyone will find something to enjoy in it.” Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer called the movie “a winning re-do.” Richard Corliss of Time magazine wrote that “Disney finall y got Cinderella right.” Other people were not as happy with the movie. Sara Stewart of the New York Post wrote, “This Cinderella is all dressed up with nowhere very interesting to go.”Although different people think differently towards the movie, what is clear, however, is the movie's business success. It is not only popular in the theaters but also in sales. And Disney has widened its usual market for “Cinderella” products.There are products connected to the Disney movie targeted (面向) not only at little girls, but women, too. For example, the famous shoe designer Jimmy Choo worked with Disney to create “Cinderella's shoes.” You can buy them for about $5,000. At that price, you would not want to lose one at the party, even if that is the way you get your prince .The makeup (化妆品) company MAC quickly sold all its products connected to “Cinderella.” HSN is a popular website selling clothing and objects for the home. The marketer is now also selling “Cinderella” products.So, is there anything left for the children, those people we think of as the traditional audience for the age-old tale? Yes, you can find toys and other children's products at the American store JCPenney. Of course, you can also visit a Disney store.12. What is the best title for the text?A. Sellers of “Cinderella” productsB. “Cinderella” is more than a movieC. What makes “Cinderella” so popularD. Unknown stories behind “Cinderella”13. The underlined part “a mixed reaction” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____.A. many changesB. different storiesC. advantages and disadvantagesD. agreements and disagreements14. Products connected to “Cinderella” _____.A. do not sell very wellB. are not yet on the marketC. are mainly targeted at little girlsD. are designed for a wide group of buyers15. Where can children buy toys connected to “Cinderella”?A. At MAC.B. At MAC and HSN.C. At JCPenney.D. At HSN and a Disney store.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。

rode with one of my brothers and had the time of my life．It was so ehilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled．Near the end of the day 1 was overjoyed too when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself．I climbed on it full of ecitement and lay on my stomach．Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside．1 was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course，straight towards one of those big oa trees．My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming．At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree．I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling，“You have to steer(操控)!You have to steer!”Sadly，that wasn’t the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle noced me off course in my life．Many times problems，troubles，and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger, frustration, and despair．I am still learning that life isn’t always safe sledding．I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself bac to love, bac to indness, bac to goodness, and bac to God．Life is a trip，but no one ever said it was a smooth ride．Steer well then．Steer straight．Steer your soul towards the light and the love we are all meant for．25．What do we now about the author when he was very

booths，equipped with professional recording devices and cameras，have become instant hits．A crowd of more than 200 people were pictured lining up outside the Shanghai Library at 11 am on March 4 -- the first day of the booth’s opening to the public in Shanghai．The deadline for registrations was brought forward to 2 pm instead of the scheduled 530 pm，as the number of waiting readers continued to grow．Some waited more than nine hours for a try-out in the booth, according to library management．“There is an old phot o in the late 1970s capturing people lining up outside the Shanghai Library

friends may end up healthier as adults．Scientists have nown that close friendships help boost health．That’s true f or both teens and adults．The finding inspired Joseph Allen，a psychologist at the University of Virginia，and his team to study whether eperiences during teen years would influence adult health．So they followed 171 teens，starting when the ids were just 13．They interviewed each one every year for five years，and also spoe to these teens’closest friends，who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships．The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25，26 and 27．This time，the questio ns surveyed each person’s overall health．When the researchers analyed the data they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health．Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults．Whether teens held bac their feelings or epressed them to a close friends also influenced later health．Those who held bac were more liely to be sic as adults．The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health．Weight，family income and drug use were all eamined．So were mental health issues，such as aniety and depression．And in these people，such other factors did not eplain adult health as well as teen friendships did．Going along with the crowd may have benefits，says Allen，but there are also drawbacs．Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and wor．And peer pressure may lead some ids to engage in risy behavior，such as smoing，drining or using drugs．Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge，Allen acnowledges．“Finding the right balance is the ey．Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy．”And，he adds，“Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.”32．Where can you probably read this passage?A．Science fictionB．Health columnC．Fashion magaineD．Entertainment newspaper33．We can learn from Allen’s study that _______________.A．many other factors

challenging for teens to d eal with peer pressure，they should not give upC．teens will engage in smoing，drining or using drugs when facing peer pressureD．parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends35．What can be inferred from the passage?A．There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd．B．Close friendships are the most important for people’s health．C．Teen friendships

ADear Daughter,As we drove off from Columbia University, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: "Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten." What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about—this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever，so do your best in classes and learn.Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don't be trapped in what others think or say.Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick a few friends and become really close to them —pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success—that I am genuine with people and trust them (unless they do somethingto lose my trust).Please treasure your college years – make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges. May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.Love,Dad (& Mom)21. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. Education is what you learn at school.B. Ability is more important than knowledge.C. Learning and analyzing are equally important.D. Colleges only focus on skills of learning.22. The writer thinks his daughter should_____________.A. ask for his advice on her choiceB. make a lot of friendsC. get along well with her friendsD. spare no effort to succeed23. According to the passage, the writer is a _________ father.A. wise and caringB. strict and warm-heartedC. generous and talentedD. diligent and successful24. Why does the father write this letter?A. To inform his daughter of college life.B. To show father’s love.C. To broaden his daughter’s mind..D. To guide his daughter.BAs the proverb goes, man struggles upwards; water flows downwards. Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans. But downhill isn’t the only way that water moves. A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn’t the type we usually think scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of “virtual water”.We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However,92％of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats. These products are shipped around the world.For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water—about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4％goes into the packaging and labeling. In Hoekstra’s c alculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator．According to Hoekstra’s new report，dry countries like Israel and Kuwait，both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries，like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.25. The proverb in Paragraph One is used to_________.A. inspire readers to struggle upwardB. tell a law of natureC. introduce the topic of the passageD. summarize the main idea of the passage26. In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside? .A. The United Kingdom and ChinaB. America and IsraelC. The Netherlands and KuwaitD. The Netherlands and America27. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Benefits of Virtual WaterB. Hidden Uses of WaterC. Crops and Virtual WaterD. Water’s Worldwide Travels28. Where does the passage probably come from?A .A science news report. B. A newspaper advertisement.C. A book review.D. A science fiction story.CThough many Internet celebrities try to shrug off their fame, Yan Mingliang, 27, has dreamed of joining the Internet elite(精英) ever since he entered college.However, luck didn’t favor him. Instead, fame fell into the lap of his pet dog, Beiji. In early 2015, Yan used his microblog to post two pictures of Beiji lyingon the ground, and they went viral on social media. Because he took the photos ata strange angle, it almost looks like Beiji’s body has fallen apart.Finally, Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity, or more accurately, the owner of an Internet celebrity dog. New followers started to flood in, and Yan received hundreds of private messages each day. In less than four weeks, Yan managed to attract more than 20,000 followers. “I am famous now.”Yan thoughtat that time.However, fame didn’t just bring joy, but also annoyance. Since Beiji was only3 months old and Yan sometimes had to put him into a cage as a means of “education”, there were also private messages from followers who fiercely criticized Yan for being too cruel.“It gradually occurred to me that no matter how frankly you present yourselfon social media, Internet users only witness part of your life. And their judgments depend on that partial life story of yours,” said Yan, “They don’t know how hardit is to raise a pet dog when you’re unemployed, Yan explained. They also don’tcare about whether the dog they’re enjoying is being pushed too hard.”Yan finally decided to leave his Internet fame behind and focus more on his real life. “The lesson I learned is that, if you can’t live up to your followers’expectations, it’s better not to be an Internet celebrity,” he said.29. The underlined phrase “went viral” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. were exposedB. became widely-spreadC. were criticizedD. became viruses30. Why did Yan become famous?A. Because his dog became famous.B. Because he posted two pictures on the Internet.C. Because he took a strange picture.D. Because he became an Internet celebrity.31. How did Yan probably feel at first when he realized he became well-known?A. puzzled and annoyedB. surprised and tiredC. disappointed and annoyedD. excited and joyful32. What can we infer from what Yan said in the last two paragraphs?A. It is hard to raise a pet dog.B. He isn’t fully understood on the Internet.C. He decided to stop making use of his microblog.D. Internet celebrities can’t satisfy their followers.DYou might think going to school during the summer is opposite to what summertime is all about. But for the thousands of Calgary kids with a true love of learning, there’s no better time to have fun with their education, while at the same time getting a rough idea of what their post-secondary future might hold.The University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and SAIT Polytechnic all offer summertime programs that give kids hands-on experience in the labs and other facilities they’ll be working in down the road.“Our bread and butter is Mini Universi ty PhD,” says Don McSwiney, spokesperson for U of C Summer Camps. “The idea is to give people a fun learning experience and a hands-on learning experience, which helps kids understand concepts better than learning in a book.” Mini University PhD gets kids into the labs and art studios of the U of C, where they take part in programs such as The Scientist, where they learn about topics like mapping DNA and creating volcanoes. Mini U programs dealing with art and sports are also being offered this year. Minds in Motion motivates kids to explore science, engineering and technology in a hands-on way.At Mount Royal, the MRU Kids program is marking its 20th anniversary. “We have about 18 different programs for children from 6 to 17.” says program administrator Maya Anderson. There's also the ConocoPhillips Youth Science Academy for ages 13to 17，which focuses more on the academic -- those who want to go into science. More than 3,200 kids are expected to take part in MRU summer programs, which helps to keep kids engaged in learning through the summer in a fun way.SAIT Polytechnic has added more camps for the grades 4 to 6 range, and the list includes topics ranging from Sports Science and SCISpy, to Planet Protectors (energy, engineering, environment).“We focus o n building self-confidence in our campers,” says Jaros. “Making them confident in their ability to learn and become reengaged in learning, without the pressure of school.”33. If a student wants to know how to map DNA, he should attend_________.A. MRU kidsB. The ScientistC. Minds in MotionD. Einstein’s Shampoo34. We can learn from the passage that_________.A. the campers have great fun in the summertime programsB. the summertime programs merely focus on hands-on learning coursesC. the program of sports has been offered for 20 yearsD. the summer campers are all confident of their future35. The purpose of the passage is __________.A. to show children’s great desire for knowledgeB. to complain students’ stressful life during the summerti meC. to persuade parents to send their children to more programs in universityD. to introduce summertime programs performed by three Calgary universities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。

中国香文化是中国独具特色的传统文化之一。

它的起源甚早，据考古学家的考证，甚至可以追溯到石器时代。

距今6000多年前的新石器晚期，古人就以燃烧木柴和其他祭品的方式来祭祀天地诸神。

近几十年考古发现的各类文物（如陶熏炉）表明，早在四五千年前，古人就已经使用香品了。

作为活化石的殷商甲骨文，早在3000多年前就已经有了“柴”字，意为“手持燃烧的祭礼”，堪称祭祀用香的形象注解。

春秋战国时，由于地域所限，中土气候温凉，不太适宜香料植物的生长，所用香木香草的种类尚不如后世丰富，但对香木香草的使用方法已有很多，有熏烧（如蕙草、艾蒿），佩带（香囊、香花香草）、煮汤（泽兰）、熬膏（兰膏）、入酒等方法。

在我国第一部诗歌总集《诗经》中，不乏记述采掇香药香草的歌谣，如“彼采萧兮，一日不见，如三秋兮。

彼采艾兮，一日不见，如三岁兮”。

我国第一部医学典籍《黄帝内经》，总结了我国人民与疾病长期斗争的医疗经验，其中就提出了艾灸、熏燎等治病方法。

人们对香木香草不仅取之用之，而且歌之咏之，托之寓之。

《尚书》有“至治馨香，感于神明”之语，《孔子家语﹒六本》说：“入芝兰之室，久而不闻其香。

”在伟大诗人屈原的《离骚》、《九歌》等名篇中，他用香草来歌颂忠贤，以莸草来痛斥奸邪，我们可以从中了解战国时期香文化的一些梗概。

秦汉时期，封建社会的巩固，华夏大地的大统一，特别是汉朝张骞通西域后，丝绸之路的开通，使中外文化出现了空前的大交融。

five years，and also spoke to these teens’closest friends，who provided additionalinformation about the quality of their friendships．The same 171 people were interviewed again atages 25，26 and 27．This time，the questions surveyed each person’s overall health．When theresearchers analyzed the data they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adulthealth．Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults．Whether teens held backtheir feelings or expressed them to a close friends also influenced later health．Those who heldback were more likely to be sick as adults．The connection held up even after the scientistsaccounted for other possible influences on health．Weight，family income and drug use were allexamined．So were mental health issues，such as anxiety and depression．And in these people，suchother factors did not explain adult health as wel l as teen friendships did．Going along with the crowd may have benefits，says Allen，but there are also drawbacks．Teens who are more independent tend to do better at schoo l and work．And peer pressure may leadsome kids to engage in risky behavior，such as smoking，drinking or using drugs．Dealing with it
