She posts her problems on her blog and getsa lot of advice from other bloggers.Helen: My parents are annoying.They never stop going on about how I should keepmy room tidy, keep my hair tidy and wear smart clothes. They even make me do thewashing-up after dinner every night! None of my friends have got such parents. Whatshould I do?Why do you think you're the only one with parents like that? All parents are the same. They want us to look like them. Sometimes it's really annoying. They don't understand that fashions have changed in the last 30 years!Tom, Canada Hi, Helen. I think you should do what your parents ask. They're much older than you and you should take their advice. It's their house you live in and their money you spend.Emily, New Zealand Helen, why should your parents do all the washing-up. You should help around the house---it's only fair.Simon, Scotland I don't see why you are so unhappy. Your parents act like that because you are the one they love and care about. We share housework in my family. I even wash the car for my father. And I get paid for that.Victoria. Australia41.

Victoria43. __________of the 4 bloggers have different opinions from Helen.A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. FourBIt's time for school! But on May 14th, 170 students at Duncanville High School in Texas,US, were told to go back home.Why? Because they were wearing the wrong clothes to school.Schools in the US don't always ask students to wear uniforms. But they have dress codes(着装要求). For example, Duncanville High School tells students to wear belts, shirts withoutlogos （商标）.Schools' most-hated clothes are different.In 2011, the saggy ( 松垮的 ) trousers law was passed in Florida. It stops students fromwearing trousers that show body parts.Now, "the favourite new target ( 目标 ) of the school dress code" is leggings( 紧身裤 ),reported the Associated Press. Some schools don't allow leggings. Other schools ask students to wear a shirt or a skirt over leggings.Some students complain (抱怨) that schools are going too far. But schools say dress codes help protect students' safety and make sure they grow up with good taste."We want to teach them that they must meet the expectations (期望) not only here in school, but also outside school," said Andre Smith.44. What happened to 170 students at Duncanville High School on May 14th?A. They had to leave school for home.B. They were wearing the uniforms to school.C. They followed the school dress codes.D. They didn't know it was time for school.45. In Duncanville High School, students are allowed to wear______.A. the leggingsB. shirts without logosC. their favourite clothesD. schools' most-hated clothes46. How long has the saggy trousers law been used in Florida?A. For a few weeks.B. For several months.C. For one year.D. For three years.47. Some students complain that schools are going too far probably because _______.A. they want to grow up with good tasteB. they want to protect themselvesC. they are not happy with the rulesD. they like wearing skirts over leggingsCYou either have it, or you don’t — a sense of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.―Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,‖ says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. ―However, if they are not al lowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.‖Jim Martland also emphasizes (强调) that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:◆ If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.◆ If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.◆ Simplify(简化) the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.Now you need never get lost again!48. Which is TRUE of seven-year-old children according to the passage?A. They never have a sense of direction without maps.B. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.C. They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.D. They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.49. If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should .A. tie it to a tree so as to stop it from being stolenB. remember something easily known on the routeC. draw a map of the route to help remember where it isD. stay away from taking the same route when you come back to it50. According to the passage, the best way to find your way around is to .A. ask policemen for directionsB. count the number of landmarks that you seeC. use walls, streams, and streets to guide yourselfD. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs51. Where can you probably read this passage?A. In a magazine.B. In an ad.C. In a storybook.D. In a mapDBefore I even started school, people felt that I was not going to amount to much. At the age of four, I started speech lessons because even I could not speak well enough to be understood.First grade was a struggle. I not only had difficulty speaking, but I was expected to learn to read and I just couldn't do it. My parents grew more and more frustrated. They bought books and offered great rewards if I could read one of them from start to finish to them. Well, with my speech problems and now my reading problems, I did not like to do reading and so refused to do it whenever possible.Second grade was not much better. It was in the second grade that the teacher decided that I needed special education. I remember the days of taking the physical exams. However, after all that, they decided that I did not qualify for special education.It was in third grade that a new school was built close to where I lived. I remember going there with my parents and helping to get the school ready so that we could transfer(转学). It was a happy day that we started school at Vandalia. However, things did not get better as my parent expected.It was now time for fifth grade. Mrs. Wakefield was my teacher, and if ever there was a teacher that deserved a gold star, it was her. She did not make me feel upset. Instead, she helped me in so many ways and built my self-confidence so that I actually did believe that I could do something special. And that is just what I did.For the past 22 years, I have been a fifth grade teacher. Because of Mrs. Wakefield's influence in my life, I am now encouraging students who have had difficulties in their lives to believe that they can overcome and become someone. I have won a large number of awards but I know that all of them belong to one fifth grade teacher who believed in me and challenged me to be all that I could be.I still have a class picture of her with her fifth grade class hanging on the wall of my office,encouraging other teachers to reach out to their students.52. What does the underlined phrase ―amount to much‖ mean in Paragraph l?A. be rich.B. get successful.C. get popular.D. become healthy.53. From the second paragraph we know that______________.A.the writer's parents lost confidence in the writer completelyB.the writer's speech problems didn’t stop him from readingC. the writer's parents tried many things to encourage himD.the writer couldn't improve his speech ability from reading54.What can we infer（推测）from the passage?A.The writer is a good teacher himself.B.The new school was far away from the writer’s home.C.The teachers in the new school were gold starsD.The writer himself wanted to transfer to a new school.55.What can we learn from the passage?A. A good teacher is hard to find in our lives.B. Many students have speech difficulties.C. Confidence is very important in one's life.D. Different teaching methods work the same.五、词汇运用（本题有15小题，每小题1分，共15分）A. 根据短文内容和汉语提示写出所给单词的正确形式。

nearly 100years ago．It was the theory of the physics behind the workings of our world and the universe．The idea was that the waves are like waves in space，caused by some of the violent and energetic processes in the universe．For example，two black holes crashing into each other．Now a group of scientists，including ones from Caltech，MIT and the LIGO Scientific，Collaboration finally found the gravitational waves．David Reitze is the executive director of the LIGO observatory at Caltech．"We have detected gravitational waves．We did it!"What are these gravitational waves？Well，imagine throwing a rock into a pond．When the rock hits the flat surface of the water，it creates waves．Space﹣time is like the surface of the water．So that means gravitational waves are like the waves moving out from where the rock hits the water．It might be hard to understand，but those gravitational waves expand and contract space and time as they move through space．And when they get to the Earth，the waves pass through，and they contract and expand the planet as the waves go by．It was Einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable．But these are not huge waves．They are very，very small，which is why it took so long to find them．You cannot see them with your eyes．They are smaller than the size of an atom．How did the scientists find them？They used a giant scientific tool called LIGO，which stands for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational﹣Wave Observatory．The billion﹣dollar LIGO project is two L﹣shaped observatories．One is in Louisiana and the other in Washington state．For years，scientists have been watching two black holes in another faraway galaxy．The two were spinning around each other，moving closer and closer together．When they finally crashed into each other，it was with such power and force that gravitational waves rang throughout the universe，like a giant bell．Those waves，traveling at the speed of light，finally reached the Earth，some l.3billion years later．They are the same waves that the scientists announced this past week．So，what does this discovery mean？Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically．32．What are gravitational waves about？A．About the workings of the universe．B．About how black holes form．C．About how the universe began．D．About how the waves form on the surface of water．33．The underlined sentence"two black holes crashing into each other"is used to express ．A．how the universe begins to existB．how gravitational waves formC．how new black holes appearD．how the earth is affected34．Why are gravitational waves difficult to find？A．Because they are too small．B．Because they are far away．C．Because they seldom occur．D．Because they have disappeared．35．With the discovery of gravitational waves，we'll ．A．create a new worldB．make full use of gravitational wavesC．understand the universe in a new wayD．avoid being hit by black holes．四、词汇运用（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）A）根据句意，用所给单词的正确形式填空，每空一词．36．It's important to make full use of every minute

properly？Are they getting enough exercise？According to a new study，these worries may not be completely wrong．Meg Small，a researcher，says that only one third of college students have a healthy diet．Fortunately，according to the research，students seem to be healthier on the days when they communicate with their parents．Students at a large US university were asked to complete some surveys．The surveys included questions about how much time students spent talking to their parents and questions about their eating habits and activity levels．During the two﹣week survey，it was found that they ate 14% more fruits and vegetables，and were 50% more likely to take part in at least 30minutes of sports or activities on the days when they communicated with their parents for 30minutes or more．Meg Small believes that some parents may directly remind their children to eat better foods and take part in activities，but it is also suggested that even if healthy living was not discussed，the very act of having communicated with their parents can be enough to encourage them to make healthier choices and take better care of themselves．This study suggests that the more parents communicate with their children，the healthier lifestyles their children will lead．However，it is equally important to get a balance．By calling too often，parents may quite easily appear to distrust their children，while calling too little，or not at all，sends the message that they do not care．阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格．每空一词．Problem Most college students eat unhealthily at school．About the study ●Students at a U．S．university

improve environmental management and reduce pollution in recent years．China has made a plan to be a"green development"model over the next five years，increasing the share of non﹣fossil fuels（非矿物燃料）．The plan is to use wind，solar，biomass，water and geothermal energy．Beijing also says it will find cleaner ways of burning fossil fuels like coal．China is already the global leader in clean energy investment．According to a new government report，the share of non﹣fossil fuels has reached 11.2percent in 2015．That's an increase of 1.4percent from 2014．China has the biggest solar photovoltaic cell capacity and the largest wind power market．The number of water power stations in China is about a quarter of the world's．The rapid development of clean energy has helped China's carbon emissions per unit GDP reduce．"From 2005to 2014，China's energy use per unit GDP went down 29.9percent，and carbon dioxide emissions（二氧化碳排放） per unit of GDP went down 33.8percent．At that time，the numbers of developed countries only went down about 15percent，and the world average level did not change much．So it should be said that China has achieved a lot in cutting carbon pollution，especially in cutting the

know后面是跟一个宾语从句，宾语从句中应该用陈述语序，即主语+谓语，所以排除AB．再根据He looks unhappy．所以上面的宾语从句应该询问的是他怎么了．what's the matter with him中what本身是主语，所以后面的语序不用发生改变．故选D．【点评】主要考查宾语从句，一定要注意宾语从句的引导词，以及宾语从句的时态和语序问题．把握好这几点，是做好此类题目的关键！就本题而言主要考查宾语从句的语序．二、完型填空（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）16．It was a mid﹣April﹣a time when the planet Earth turns under the
