2018-2019学年度下学期省六校协作体高一期中考试英语试题考试时间：100分钟分数：120分折合成150分第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）AHere are two letters from our readers expressing their concern about school assessment.Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades . Fortunately, most educators realize that students have different interests and abilities. However, grade-based assessment is still very common. Grades often hold back creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to go in for music, drama and sports. Grades are also an unfair measure of a student’s ability. I do not deman d, as some extremists do, that grades should no longer be recorded. However, I do believe that less importance should be placed on grades.I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.Magdalena Smith,President Drama ClubLet’s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades get students to work at their highest level of competence (能力). Second, they act as an encouragement for hard-working students and as a warming to those who are not. Finally, grades are an effective standard by which to measure students' achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university.I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired mainly because of their grades. My grades helped me get a part-time job and will help me into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.Simon Harper,Member,21.Simon Harper writes from the viewpoint of someone who .A．insists grades should become optional in the near futureB．is concerned about improving students’ creativityC．supports using students’ interests to measure their abilitiesD．believes in the advantages of assessment based on grades22．Magdalena Smith thinks it is important for .A. educators to assess the students by gradesB. students to take part in music, drama, and sportsC. students to compete for better gradesD. educators to pay more attention to grades23．According to the letters, which of the following is true about Village High School? ______A. Grades are still in use at present..B. Grades hold back students’ cr eativity.C. Grades bring about unnecessary competition.D. Grades are effective in every way24．What are the two letters mainly about? ________A. The reasons why grades shouldn’t be used to assess students.B. The importance of art and music in students’ life.C. The need to have a standard measure for students’ success.D. The role that grades should play in assessing students.BOn the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady staring at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug？”I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!”and she gave me a giant hug. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age？” I asked.She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”I grinned(露齿而笑)，“I mean, seriously, why?”I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to take on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus symbol and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention she received from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is only one secret to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You’ve got to have a dream. Whenyou lose your dreams, you die!” she said.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,”she added.“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity for change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing“The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.25. What can we know about Rose from the passage?A. serious and hard-workingB. honest and optimisticC. humorous and popularD. crazy and brave26. what motivated Rose to go to college at the age of 87?A. That she wanted to realize her dream.B. That she wanted to meet a rich husband.C. That she loved to stay with the young.D. That she planned to grow up27. According to her speech, ____.A. whenever you have a dream, you’ll succeedB. all people don’t grow up while growing olderC. Rose usually regretted having done somethingD. time isn’t important especially for the elderly people.28. What is the purpose of the passage ?A. to encourage us to live with our dreamB. to tell us it is never too late to learnC. to advise us to be happy every dayD. to recommend us to find secrets of staying youngCWhen I came to China a little over two years ago, at the height of Shanghai’s summer season, I was spending summer in ways I never had before —indoors, absolutely 100% indoors. I had, of course, discovered something called Ele.me as well as Taobao and AliPay. It was like a dream cometrue, and I spent a week like that before going outside.Once outside, I realized how simple life could be —with some of my indoor habits. Namely, I didn’t need cash. Gone was the trouble of having to find and carry change. All it took was a quick scan of a QR code and money-switched hands. However, as I grew more and more comfortable with this lifestyle, I came to realize how much more isolated I was from my fellow human beings. Instead of the few extra seconds of human interaction you get when a cashier counts out your change, you get a machine that beeps and tells you your transaction(交易) has gone through.Furthermore, I realized that an entire generation was left behind. Most people my grandparents’age don’t know how to use a smartphone, let alone mobile payment. How upset they must feel when they are turned away from a shop that only accepts Alipay and WeChat Pay!Despite these weaknesses, mobile payment has indeed made our lives vastly easier. The youth are accepting it. However, with money easily moving around with the touch of a button, we are slowly gaining a wrong impression of its value. One can often hear stories of how a child might rack up (累积) huge bills on their parents’credit cards by buying items while playing a game on an iPad or iPhone. We may feel the same way when walking past a shop on the way home —a few yuan spent there can’t hurt, right? Compare that feeling to handing over paper money, and you might realize how much easier it is to let go of money when you aren’t actually holding it.Mobile payment is an important aspect of our generation. However, we must acknowledge the problems that come with it. In the end, we must come to define it rather than let it define us.29.According to the author, in summer, life outside can be much simpler with the help of ____.A. air-conditioningB. Ele.me and TaobaoC. mobile paymentD. QR codes30.According to the author, what problems may come with mobile payment?① A lack of human interaction.②Increasing risks of theft.③ A wider generation gap.④Wrong impressions of money value.A. ①②③B. ①②④C. ①③④D. ②③④31. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The author had never tried mobile payment before moving to China.B. Mobile payment requires a scan of a QR code.C. In some shops in China, customers can now pay using only mobile payment.D. The author thinks we should stop mobile payment from developing further.DAlways Remember Your “Initial（最初的）Wishes”The primary message coming out of the recently completed 19th National Congress of the CPC(中国共产党十九大) in Beijing consists of two parts. The first is that the party is entering a “new age” and the second is the need to focus on the “initial wishes” that established the CPC’s beginning. In other words, although life today is much more different than that in the past, people should not forget the “goals” of the past.The pioneers who founded the CPC almost one hundred years ago were living in difficult and dangerous times. But all of them were committed to making life better for their countrymen. Their goals were to make China more egalitarian (人人平等的), peaceful and prosperous. Most of those goals have been achieved, but according to President Xi, there is still work to be done and people should be guided by the “initial wishes” of the founders.T he idea of “initial wishes” can also be useful in your personal life. Young people are always encouraged to set goals for the future. But life is not simple; it’s full of complexities, struggle s and frustrations, and it may leave you wondering what your “initial wishes” are and why they are so important.Take for example a young person who wants to become a doctor and help cure sick people. After many years of study and several years of practice, he finds that he is working long hours for little money. Worse still, many patients don’t appreciate his effort s; they only criticize and complain. We have even seen incidents of doctors being physically attacked by their patients. It’s easy then for that young doctor to become pessimistic and lose his goal.But the ones who are persistent are the ones who change the world and they are the ones who understand that true happiness in life comes from being selfless, not selfish. That young doctor, for example, will remain true to his goal by remembering the “initial wishes” of why he became a doctor — to help people.I hope that you, too, can hold firm to your “initial wishes” — no matter where you go and what you do.32.Which has the similar meaning to the underlined phrase in the paragraph two?A. were addicted toB. were devoted toC. were accustomed toD. were used to33.According to the article, what are the CPC’s “initial wishes”?A. To help China enter a new era.B. To help its countrymen achieve their goals.C. To make China more egalitarian, peaceful and prosperous.D. To end the difficult and dangerous times its founders were living in.34. According to the author, it could be difficult for one to accomplish his “initial wishes” because____.A. some “initial wishes” are unrealisticB. life is full of difficulties and strugglesC. there are too many pessimistic peopleD. many people do things just to help themselves35.What does the author mainly want to prove by mentioning the young doctor in the article?A. The bitter life of young doctors.B. The real sources of happiness in life.C. The diff iculties of holding firm to one’s “initial wishes.”D. The importance of “initial wishes.”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。

AJohn，a very thin boy, loved football with all his heart when he was very young．Practice after practice，he eagerly gave everything he had．But being half the size of the other boys，he could only sit on the bench and hardly ever played in games．Even though the son was always on the bench，his father was always standing with cheers and encouraging him．When John went to college，he decided to try out for the football team as a “walk-on”．Everyone was sure he could never make the cut，but he did．The coach thought he could provide the other members with the spirit they needed．The news that he had survived the cut excited him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father．His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games．It was the end of this last football season．One day John received a telegram and asked one week off．Nobody knew what happened except the coach．The coach said，“Don't plan to come back to the game on Saturday．”Saturday arrived，and the game was not going well：When the team was ten points behind，John came back．“Coach，please let me play．I’ve just got to play today,”said John．The coach pretended not to hear him．But John persisted，and finally feeling sorry for the kid，the coach gave in．Before long everyone could not believe their eyes. John was doing everything to fight. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed and blocked like astar. And at last his team won the game．After the game，John looked at the coach，with tears in his eyes，and said，“Well,you knew my dad died,but did you know that my dad was blind?''John swallowed hard and forced a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him that I could do it.”21.Why did John hardly have any chance to play in games?A．Because he had no time to practice．B．Because he was too young to play games．C．Because everyone looked down upon him．D．Because his body condition was not good．22.The underlined phrase “make the cut” in the second paragraph can be replacedby ““A．make progress B．be allowed to join the teamC．cut himself D．be refused by the coach23.From the text we can know that ．A．John felt very depressed as a “walk-on”B．John's father always taught him how to playC．John's father went to most of his college gamesD．the coach was sure John would be the best player one day24.This story tells us thatA. a burden of one’s choice is not felt B．better to do well than to say well C．all roads lead to Rome D．where there is a will，there is a wayBThere was a time in the 1960’s and 1970’s when some people believed that coffee would replace tea as Britain’s favourite drink, but that did not happen, and today, tea remains Britain’s favourite drink.To say that the British are fond of tea is something of an understatement. From the Royal(皇室的) Family down to the homeless and the out-of-work, tea is more than just a pleasure. It is an important part of life!The popularity of tea in the United Kingdom has a long history. It was in 1657 that Thomas Garway, the owner of a coffee house, sold the first tea in London. The drink soon became popular as another choice besides coffee.In those days, however, tea was not something for anyone. For a century and a half, it remained an expensive drink. Many bosses served a cup of it to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British tradition, the “tea break”. But as a social drink outsi de the workplace, tea was served for the nobility(贵族) and for the growing middle classes. Among those who had the money for tea, it became very popular as a drink to be enjoyed in cafés and “tea gardens”. It was the 7th Duchess of Bedford who, in around 1800, started the popular “afternoon tea”, which took place at about four o’clock. At about the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread with something (e. g. jam) between them, and before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon with tea and sandwiches had become part of a way of life.As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through British society. In working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers r eturned home after a day’s l abour. This meal has become known as “high tea”.Today, tea can be drunk at any time of day. Most people in Britain drink tea for breakfast. The mid-morning “tea break”is an institution in British office s and factories. Late r in the day, “afternoon tea” is still a way of life in the south of England and among the middle classes, while “high tea”has remained a tradition in the north of Britain.25.Who played an important part in the beginning of tea time in England?A.Thomas Garway.B.The Royal Family.C.The Earl of Sandwich.D.The Duchess of Bedford.26.What can we learn from the passage?A. The “tea break” kept the workers from being sleepy after lunch.B. Workers could enjoy a cup o f tea in “tea gardens”at their workplace.C. “High tea”was usually served with the main meal for the middle classes.D. The “afternoon tea” together with sandwiches became popular in around 1800.27.What is the best title of the passage?A.The Popularity of TeaB.Tea and the BritishC.Tea and the Middle ClassD.The History of TeaCWhen the telephone rings late at night, most women guess it must be one of only four or five people calling. A sister? Maybe. An emergency? Possibly.A mother? Probably not at that time of night. Much more probably it is a close female friend calling to tell you that she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV.At a time when families are spread far and wide and marriages often end in divorce, friendships are becoming more and more important. Erika, a 32-year-old lawyer, is strengthened by her ten-year friendship with her married friend Jane. “I was very sick one night, so I called Jane at about 3:00 a.m. to talk about it,” she says. “She was very supportive and even came over to take me to the doctor’s the next morning.”As American TV shows like Friends, which follows the lives of a very close group of young friends, have become more popular, many of us are beginning to see the value of such friendships. TV shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships may not last, but we need to keep in touch with our close friends if we want to survive.A TV show called Real Women is about the lives and relationships of five former school friends. In this show, family, husbands, and work are all less important than friendships. One of its actresses says the show reflects her own experience. “Friendship is about commitment. I don’t see some of my friends for ages but when we get together, it is as if time hasn”t passed.”This is true of Erika and Jane’s friendship. With Erika’s family 200 miles away, it is Jane who keeps a spare set of keys to Erika’s apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away. “Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom. It is not the kind of thing that you could ask anyone to do, but she knows I would do the same for her.” Erika feels that because she no longer sees her family every day,she now enjoys a closer relationship with her best friend. Jane, who may move to a different city soon, is worried about leaving such a support system of friends. “My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and, therefore, I don’t have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them. Friends are more up to date with what is happening.”28.According to the passage, a late-night phone call for most women is probablyfrom ______.A. a friendB. a relativeC. a strangerD. a doctor shows like Friends tell us that ______.A. marriages with friends often end up in failureB. families and work are as important as friendsC. close friends help us face problems in lifeD. friendship fades(消退) as time goes by30.Which of the statements will the author probably agree with?A. A near friend is more helpful than a faraway relative.B. Both marriage and friendship demand commitment.C. However far away we’re, parents worry about us.D. Long distance makes the hearts closer.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。

A On the first day of my new high school, I almost had a nervous breakdown. Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You're nervous and that's okay. Everyone is afraid of high school.” I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle that I couldn't figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be? I didn't think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it!Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.Since then, I've been elected（选举）vice monitor of my class, which wasn't much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions.It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because you'll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn't straight A's.Most important of all, be who you are, whether you're a “fool”， an athlete, or a lower grader. Don't try to pretend to be someone you're not. Now you know the true secrets of high school.1. The main reason for the author's fear on his first day is that ________.A. he was not familiar with the new surroundingsB. his schoolmates were unfriendly to himC. he was unable to work out the puzzleD. his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry2. From the author's first day experience we can infer that ________.A. he didn't know the right way to classB. he got to school before classes beganC. he was fond of the school immediately.D. his home was far from the school3. After his first week at school, the author ________.A. was still not accustomed to the scheduleB. was gradually used to the new schoolC. found high school not so challenging as he had imaginedD. ran for monitor of his class against three other students4. According to the passage, the secret of the author's success lies mainly in________.A. making more friendsB. getting more A's at schoolC. being who he really isD. joining in out of class activities【答案】1. A 2. A 3. B 4. C【解析】【分析】本文为记叙文。

辽宁省六校协作体2019学年高一下学期期初英语试卷【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、阅读理解1. Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher，no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula( 公式 ). It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in maths. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.Above all, they knew how to use their brains.1. The subject which is not spoken of in the article is _____A. mathsB. historyC. psychologyD. physics2. The teacher’s job is to teach ___________.A. everything the students want to knowB. the students everything that they knowC. the students some facts of formulasD. the students how to learn3. Einstein, Newton and Galileo did so many things for mankind because_____.A. they learned a lot at school.B. they knew how to learn new things outside class by themselves.C. they were so useful.D. they went to college and learned form professors.4. From the passage we know that if we want to be successful , we should_______.A. only learn more at schoolB. needn’t go to schoolC. only learn science subjectsD. learn to learn at school and learn more outside school2. Are you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids to? Try some of these places:Head to a natural history museum. This is where kids can discover the past from Dinosaur ( 恐龙 ) models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are preparedfor kids and any special events that are coming up.Go to a Youtheater. Look for one in your area offering plays for child and family visitors. Pre-show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts. Puppet( 木偶 ) making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find.Visit art museums. They offer all kinds of activities to excite your kids' interest. Many offer workshops for making hand-made pieces, traveling exhibits, book signings( 签名 ) by children's favorite writers, and even musical performances and other arts.Try hands-on science. Visit one of the many hands-on science museums aroundthe country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups alike. They'll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting, and building. When everyone is tired, enjoy a fun family science show, commonly found in these museums.1.

When we first gave our daughters (then 13 and 15 years old) cell phones for emergencies, we made them sign an agreement in which we strictly ruled where and when they could use their phones and even we could check their every text message. However, in less than a year, we lost control of the situation.There is a terrible reality that almost every teenager sends between 50 to100 messages a day - some as many as 300, and 70% of teenagers admit hiding their online behavior from parents. According to a study, teenagers need as much sleep or more than they get as children - that's between 9 and 10 hoursof sleep a night, but only 20% of them are getting it. When they don't get enough sleep, they perform poorly in school, feel very hungry, are more likely to have flu and are very emotional.Recently, we adopted a "check in at tuck in" ( 盖被子时交手机 ) rule at our house, an idea I learnt from a parenting expert. It is very simple. At bedtime, when we "tuck in" our children for the night, they must "check in" their phones. They will probably bargain like this:"But I use it for my alarm clock.""I'll wake you up.""My friends might need me.""If there is an emergency, they can call the fixed phone and I'll wake you up."A few weeks ago, when I drove my younger daughter to a friend's house for a sleepover, she handed me her phone. "I guess I should check this in now, since you won't be there to tuck me in tonight. I'll call you from Ellie's phone ifI need you."1. The first paragraph that the writer writes is to______.A. show the writer's family lifeB. lead to the topic of the passageC. advise to buy cell phones for childrenD. introduce the writer's two daughters2. The cell phones were bought for children in hope of_______.A. controlling their online behaviorB. working hard through the InternetC. replacing alarm clocks with cell phonesD. keeping in touch if something urgent happened3. Which of the following is NOT caused by sleeping less?A. Performing well in school.B. Feeling very hungry.C. Being easy to have flu.D. Being very emotional.4. Which is probably the best title for the passage?A. How to Take Control of ChildrenB. How to Help Children Sleep Well at NightC. How to Get Children off Cell Phones at NightD. How to Assist Children with Cell Phones4. Jack Ma, the founder and executive chairman of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, and US president-elect Donald Trump met at Trump Tower in New York City on Jan,9th 2017, with Trump calling it a "great meeting" and Ma saying the meeting was "very productive""We had a great meeting, and a great, great entrepreneur （企业家） , one of the best in the world, and he loves this country, and he loves China," Trump said. "Jack and I are going to do some great things."The two met with reporters briefly after the meeting, and said they discussed plans to create 1 million US jobs by allowing US small and medium-sized businesses to sell to China through Alibaba's platforms."We're focused on small business," Ma told reporters. And he had complimentary words for Trump: "I think the president-elect is very smart,he's very open-minded to listen. I told him my ideas about how to improve trade, especially to improve small business, cross-border trade.""We also think that the China and USA relationship should be strengthened —should be friendlier," Ma said. "The door is open for discussing the relationship and trade issues."The meeting comes in tensions between China and the incoming Trump administration( 政府 ). Trump has repeatedly criticized China for its economic policies and accused the country of "stealing jobs away" from the US.Trump also has said he may raise tariffs( 关税 ) on Chinese goods sold in the US.1.

2018-2019学年度下学期省六校协作体高一期中考试英语试题考试时间：100分钟分数：120分折合成150分第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）AHere are two letters from our readers expressing their concern about school assessment.Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades . Fortunately, most educators realize that students have different interests and abilities. However, grade-based assessment is still very common. Grades often hold back creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to go in for music, drama and sports. Grades are also an unfair measure of a student’s ability. I do not deman d, as some extremists do, that grades should no longer be recorded. However, I do believe that less importance should be placed on grades.I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.Magdalena Smith,President Drama ClubLet’s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades get students to work at their highest level of competence (能力). Second, they act as an encouragement for hard-working students and as a warming to those who are not. Finally, grades are an effective standard by which to measure students' achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university.I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired mainly because of their grades. My grades helped me get a part-time job and will help me into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.Simon Harper,Member,21.Simon Harper writes from the viewpoint of someone who .A．insists grades should become optional in the near futureB．is concerned about improving students’ creativityC．supports using students’ interests to measure their abilitiesD．believes in the advantages of assessment based on grades22．Magdalena Smith thinks it is important for .A. educators to assess the students by gradesB. students to take part in music, drama, and sportsC. students to compete for better gradesD. educators to pay more attention to grades23．According to the letters, which of the following is true about Village High School? ______A. Grades are still in use at present..B. Grades hold back students’ cr eativity.C. Grades bring about unnecessary competition.D. Grades are effective in every way24．What are the two letters mainly about? ________A. The reasons why grades shouldn’t be used to assess students.B. The importance of art and music in students’ life.C. The need to have a standard measure for students’ success.D. The role that grades should play in assessing students.BOn the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady staring at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug？”I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!”and she gave me a giant hug. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age？” I asked.She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”I grinned(露齿而笑)，“I mean, seriously, why?”I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to take on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus symbol and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention she received from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is only one secret to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You’ve got to have a dream. Whenyou lose your dreams, you die!” she said.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,”she added.“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity for change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing“The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.25. What can we know about Rose from the passage?A. serious and hard-workingB. honest and optimisticC. humorous and popularD. crazy and brave26. what motivated Rose to go to college at the age of 87?A. That she wanted to realize her dream.B. That she wanted to meet a rich husband.C. That she loved to stay with the young.D. That she planned to grow up27. According to her speech, ____.A. whenever you have a dream, you’ll succeedB. all people don’t grow up while growing olderC. Rose usually regretted having done somethingD. time isn’t important especially for the elderly people.28. What is the purpose of the passage ?A. to encourage us to live with our dreamB. to tell us it is never too late to learnC. to advise us to be happy every dayD. to recommend us to find secrets of staying youngCWhen I came to China a little over two years ago, at the height of Shanghai’s summer season, I was spending summer in ways I never had before —indoors, absolutely 100% indoors. I had, of course, discovered something called Ele.me as well as Taobao and AliPay. It was like a dream cometrue, and I spent a week like that before going outside.Once outside, I realized how simple life could be —with some of my indoor habits. Namely, I didn’t need cash. Gone was the trouble of having to find and carry change. All it took was a quick scan of a QR code and money-switched hands. However, as I grew more and more comfortable with this lifestyle, I came to realize how much more isolated I was from my fellow human beings. Instead of the few extra seconds of human interaction you get when a cashier counts out your change, you get a machine that beeps and tells you your transaction(交易) has gone through.Furthermore, I realized that an entire generation was left behind. Most people my grandparents’age don’t know how to use a smartphone, let alone mobile payment. How upset they must feel when they are turned away from a shop that only accepts Alipay and WeChat Pay!Despite these weaknesses, mobile payment has indeed made our lives vastly easier. The youth are accepting it. However, with money easily moving around with the touch of a button, we are slowly gaining a wrong impression of its value. One can often hear stories of how a child might rack up (累积) huge bills on their parents’credit cards by buying items while playing a game on an iPad or iPhone. We may feel the same way when walking past a shop on the way home —a few yuan spent there can’t hurt, right? Compare that feeling to handing over paper money, and you might realize how much easier it is to let go of money when you aren’t actually holding it.Mobile payment is an important aspect of our generation. However, we must acknowledge the problems that come with it. In the end, we must come to define it rather than let it define us.29.According to the author, in summer, life outside can be much simpler with the help of ____.A. air-conditioningB. Ele.me and TaobaoC. mobile paymentD. QR codes30.According to the author, what problems may come with mobile payment?① A lack of human interaction.②Increasing risks of theft.③ A wider generation gap.④Wrong impressions of money value.A. ①②③B. ①②④C. ①③④D. ②③④31. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The author had never tried mobile payment before moving to China.B. Mobile payment requires a scan of a QR code.C. In some shops in China, customers can now pay using only mobile payment.D. The author thinks we should stop mobile payment from developing further.DAlways Remember Your “Initial（最初的）Wishes”The primary message coming out of the recently completed 19th National Congress of the CPC(中国共产党十九大) in Beijing consists of two parts. The first is that the party is entering a “new age” and the second is the need to focus on the “initial wishes” that established the CPC’s beginning. In other words, although life today is much more different than that in the past, people should not forget the “goals” of the past.The pioneers who founded the CPC almost one hundred years ago were living in difficult and dangerous times. But all of them were committed to making life better for their countrymen. Their goals were to make China more egalitarian (人人平等的), peaceful and prosperous. Most of those goals have been achieved, but according to President Xi, there is still work to be done and people should be guided by the “initial wishes” of the founders.T he idea of “initial wishes” can also be useful in your personal life. Young people are always encouraged to set goals for the future. But life is not simple; it’s full of complexities, struggle s and frustrations, and it may leave you wondering what your “initial wishes” are and why they are so important.Take for example a young person who wants to become a doctor and help cure sick people. After many years of study and several years of practice, he finds that he is working long hours for little money. Worse still, many patients don’t appreciate his efforts; they only criticize and complain. We have even seen incidents of doctors being physically attacked by their patients. It’s easy then for that young doctor to become pessimistic and lose his goal.But the ones who are persistent are the ones who change the world and they are the ones who understand that true happiness in life comes from being selfless, not selfish. That young doctor, for example, will remain true to his goal by remembering the “initial wishes” of why he became a doctor — to help people.I hope that you, too, can hold firm to your “initial wishes” — no matter where you go and what you do.32.Which has the similar meaning to the underlined phrase in the paragraph two?A. were addicted toB. were devoted toC. were accustomed toD. were used to33.According to the article, what are th e CPC’s “initial wishes”?A. To help China enter a new era.B. To help its countrymen achieve their goals.C. To make China more egalitarian, peaceful and prosperous.D. To end the difficult and dangerous times its founders were living in.34. According to the author, it could be difficult for one to accomplish his “initial wishes” because____.A. some “initial wishes” are unrealisticB. life is full of difficulties and strugglesC. there are too many pessimistic peopleD. many people do things just to help themselves35.What does the author mainly want to prove by mentioning the young doctor in the article?A. The bitter life of young doctors.B. The real sources of happiness in life.C. The difficulties of holding firm to one’s “initial wishes.”D. The importance of “initial wishes.”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。

In other words, although life today is much more different than that in the past, people should not forget the “goals” of the past.The pioneers who founded the CPC almost one hundred years ago were living in difficult and dangerous times. But all of them were committed to making life better for their countrymen. Their goals were to make China more egalitarian (人人平等的), peaceful and prosperous. Most of those goals have been achieved, but according to President Xi, there is still work to be done and people should be guided by the “initial wishes” of the founders.T he idea of “initial wishes” can also be useful in your personal life. Young people are always encouraged to set goals for the future. But life is not simple; it’s full of compl exities, struggles and frustrations, and it may leave you wondering what your “initial wishes” are and why they are so important.Take for example a young person who wants to become a doctor and help cure sick people. After many years of study and several years of practice, he finds that he is working long hours for little money. Worse still, many patients don’t appreciate his efforts; they only criticize and complain. We have even seen incidents of doctors being physically attacked by their patients. It’s easy then for that young doctor to become pessimistic and lose his goal.But the ones who are persistent are the ones who change the world and they are the ones who understand that true happiness in life comes from being selfless, not selfish. That young doctor, for example, will remain true to his goal by remembering the “initial wishes” of why he became a doctor — to help people.I hope that you, too, can hold firm to your “initial wishes” — no matter where you go and what you do.32.Which has the similar meaning to the underlined phrase in the paragraph two?A. were addicted toB. were devoted toC. were accustomed toD. were used to33.According to the article, what are the CPC’s “initial wishes”?A. To help China enter a new era.B. To help its countrymen achieve their goals.C. To make China more egalitarian, peaceful and prosperous.D. To end the difficult and dangerous times its founders were living in.34. According to the author, it could be difficult for one to accomplish his “initial wishes” because ____.A. some “initial wishes” are unrealisticB. life is full of difficulties and strugglesC. there are too many pessimistic peopleD. many people do things just to help themselves35.What does the author mainly want to prove by mentioning the young doctor in the article?A. The bitter life of young doctors.B. The real sources of happiness in life.C. The difficulties of holding firm to one’s “initial wishes.”D. The importance of “initial wishes.”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。

Fortunately, most educators realize that students have different interests and abilities. However, grade-based assessment is still very common. Grades often hold back creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to go in for music, drama and sports. Grades are also an unfair measure of a student’s ability. I do not demand, as some extremists do, that grades should no longer be recorded. However, I do believe that less importance should be placed ongrades.I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.Magdalena Smith,PresidentDrama ClubLet’s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades get students to work at their highest level of competence (能力). Second, they act as an encouragement for hard-working students and as a warming to those who are not. Finally, grades are an effective standard by which to measure students' achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university.I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired mainly because of their grades. My grades helped me get a part-time job and will help me into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.Simon Harper,Member,21.Simon Harper writes from the viewpoint of someone who .A．insists grades should become optional in the near futureB．is concerned about improving students’ creativityC．supports using students’ interests to measure their abilitiesD．believes in the advantages of assessment based on grades22．Magdalena Smith thinks it is important for .A. educators to assess the students by gradesB. students to take part in music, drama, and sportsC. students to compete for better gradesD. educators to pay more attention to grades23．According to the letters, which of the following is true about Village High School? ______A. Grades are still in use at present..B. Grades hold back students’ creativity.C. Grades bring about unnecessary competition.D. Grades are effective in every way24．What are the two letters mainly about? ________A. The reasons why grades shouldn’t be used to assess students.B. The importance of art and music in students’ life.C. The need to have a standard measure for students’ success.D. The role that grades should play in assessing students.BOn the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady staring at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug？”I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!”and she gave me a giant hug. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age？” I asked.She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”I grinned(露齿而笑)，“I mean, seriously, why?”I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to take on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus symbol and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention she received from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is only one secret to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You’ve got to have a dream. When youlose your dreams, you die!” she said.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,”she added.“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity for change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing“The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.25. What can we know about Rose from the passage?A. serious and hard-workingB. honest and optimisticC. humorous and popularD. crazy and brave26. what motivated Rose to go to college at the age of 87?A. That she wanted to realize her dream.B. That she wanted to meet a rich husband.C. That she loved to stay with the young.D. That she planned to grow up27. According to her speech, ____.A. whenever you have a dream, you’ll succeedB. all people don’t grow up while growing olderC. Rose usually regretted having done somethingD. time isn’t important especially for the elderly people.28. What is the purpose of the passage ?A. to encourage us to live with our dreamB. to tell us it is never too late to learnC. to advise us to be happy every dayD. to recommend us to find secrets of staying youngCWhen I came to China a little over two years ago, at the height of Shanghai’s summer season, I was spending summer in ways I never had before —indoors, absolutely 100% indoors. I had, of course, discovered something called Ele.me as well as Taobao and AliPay. It was like a dream cometrue, and I spent a week like that before going outside.Once outside, I realized how simple life could be —with some of my indoor habits. Namely, I didn’t need cash. Gone was the trouble of having to find and carry change. All it took was a quick scan of a QR code and money-switched hands. However, as I grew more and more comfortable with this lifestyle, I came to realize how much more isolated I was from my fellow human beings. Instead of the few extra seconds of human interaction you get when a cashier counts out your change, you get a machine that beeps and tells you your transaction(交易) has gone through.Furthermore, I realized that an entire generation was left behind. Most people my grandparents’age don’t know how to use a smartphone, let alone mobile payment. How upset they must feel when they are turned away from a shop that only accepts Alipay and WeChat Pay!Despite these weaknesses, mobile payment has indeed made our lives vastly easier. The youth are accepting it. However, with money easily moving around with the touch of a button, we are slowly gaining a wrong impression of its value. One can often hear stories of how a child might rack up (累积) huge bills on their parents’credit cards by buying items while playing a game on an iPad or iPhone. We may feel the same way when walking past a shop on the way home —a few yuan spent there can’t hurt, right? Compare that feeling to handing over paper money, and you might realize how much easier it is to let go of money when you aren’t actually holding it.Mobile payment is an important aspect of our generation. However, we must acknowledge the problems that come with it. In the end, we must come to define it rather than let it define us.29.According to the author, in summer, life outside can be much simpler with the help of ____.A. air-conditioningB. Ele.me and TaobaoC. mobile paymentD. QR codes30.According to the author, what problems may come with mobile payment?① A lack of human interaction.②Increasing risks of theft.③ A wider generation gap.④Wrong impressions of money value.A. ①②③B. ①②④C. ①③④D. ②③④31. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The author had never tried mobile payment before moving to China.B. Mobile payment requires a scan of a QR code.C. In some shops in China, customers can now pay using only mobile payment.D. The author thinks we should stop mobile payment from developing further.DAlways Remember Your “Initial（最初的）Wishes”The primary message coming out of the recently completed 19th National Congress of the CPC(中国共产党十九大) in Beijing consists of two parts.

And at last his team won the game．After the game，John looked at the coach，with tears in his eyes，and said，“Well,you knew my dad died,but did you know that my dad was blind?''John swallowed hard and forced a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him that I could do it.”21.Why did John hardly have any chance to play in games?A．Because he had no time to practice．B．Because he was too young to play games．C．Because everyone looked down upon him．D．Because his body condition was not good．22.The underlined phrase “make the cut” in the second paragraph can be replaced by““A．make progress B．be allowed to join the teamC．cut himself D．be refused by the coach23.From the text we can know that ．A．John felt very depressed as a “walk-on”B．John's father always taught him how to playC．John's father went to most of his college gamesD．the coach was sure John would be the best player one day24.This story tells us thatA. a burden of one’s choice is not felt B．better to do well than to say well C．all roads lead to Rome D．where there is a will，there is a wayBThere was a time in the 1960’s and 1970’s when some people believed that coffee would replace tea as Britain’s favourite drink, but that did not happen, and today,tea remains Britain’s favourite drink.To say that the British are fond of tea is something of an understatement. From the Royal(皇室的) Family down to the homeless and the out-of-work, tea is more thanjust a pleasure. It is an important part of life!The popularity of tea in the United Kingdom has a long history. It was in 1657 that Thomas Garway, the owner of a coffee house, sold the first tea in London. The drink soon became popular as another choice besides coffee.In t hose d ays, h owever, t ea w as n ot s omething f or a nyone. F or a c entury a nd a h alf, it remained an expensive drink. Many bosses served a cup of it to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British tradition, the “tea break”.B ut a s a s ocial d rink o utside t he w orkplace, t ea w as s erved f or t he n obility(贵族) a nd f or t he g rowing m iddle c lasses. A mong t hose w ho h ad t he m oney f or t ea, i t b ecame very popular as a drink to be enjoyed in cafés and “tea gardens”.It was the 7th Duchess of Bedford who, in around 1800, started the popular “afternoon tea”, which took place at about four o’clock. At about the same time,the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread with something (e. g. jam) between them, and before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon with tea and sandwiches had become part of a way of life.As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through British society. In working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labour. This meal has become known as “high tea”.Today, tea can be drunk at any time of day. Most people in Britain drink tea for breakfast. The mid-morning “tea break”is an institution in British offices and factories. Later in the day, “afternoon tea” is still a way of life in the southof England and among the middle classes, while “high tea”has remained a traditionin the north of Britain.25.Who played an important part in the beginning of tea time in England?A.Thomas Garway.B.The Royal Family.C.The Earl of Sandwich.D.The Duchess of Bedford.26.What can we learn from the passage?A.

A s ister? M aybe. A n e mergency? P ossibly.A m other? P robably not at that time of night. Much more probably it is a close female friend calling totell you that she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV.At a t ime w hen f amilies a re s pread f ar a nd w ide a nd m arriages o ften e nd i n d ivorce, friendships are becoming more and more important. Erika, a 32-year-old lawyer, is strengthened by her ten-year friendship with her married friend Jane. “I was very sick one night, so I called Jane at about 3:00 a.m. to talk a bout it,”she says. “Shewas very supportive and even came over to take me to the doctor’s the next morning.”As American TV shows like Friends, which follows the lives of a very close group of young friends, have become more popular, many of us are beginning to see the value of such friendships. TV shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships maynot last, but we need to keep in touch with our close friends if we want to survive.A TV show called Real Women is about the lives and relationships of five former school friends. In this show, family, husbands, and work are all less important than friendships. One of its actresses says the show reflects her own experience. “Friendship is about commitment. I don’t see some of my friends for ages but when we get together, it is as if time hasn”t passed.”This i s t rue o f E rika a nd J ane’s f riendship. W ith E rika’s f amily 200 m iles a way,it is Jane who keeps a spare set of keys to Erika’s apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away. “Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom. It is not the kind of thing that you could ask anyone to do, but she knows I would do the same for her.”Erika feels that because she no longer sees her family every day,she now enjoys a closer relationship with her best friend. Jane, who may move to a different city soon, is worried about leaving such a support system of friends. “Myfriends have more to do with my life than my parents and, therefore, I don’t haveto spend a lot of time explaining things to them. Friends are more up to date withwhat is happening.”28.According to the passage, a late-night phone call for most women is probablyfrom ______.A. a friendB. a relativeC. a strangerD. a doctor shows like Friends tell us that ______.A. marriages with friends often end up in failureB. families and work are as important as friendsC. close friends help us face problems in lifeD. friendship fades(消退) as time goes by30.Which of the statements will the author probably agree with?A.
