AFrom American Express, wedding guests will, on average, spend $673 on each wedding they attend this year.It includes airfare ($225), hotel ($170), dining out ($116) and dressing up ($95) and the gift.If you have weddings to attend this year, here are some tips for you to avoid breaking the bank.1.Book flights in advanceThe moment you decide to attend a wedding is the time to check flight prices at the best time.Plane fares are higher in the summer, especially in July and August.Booking in advance will save you money, as will watch for sales on lower-cost carriers like JetBlue and Frontier.You can check Google Flights for a calendar of prices showing the cheapest days to fly from apps like Hopper to get real-time alerts when a fare is at its lowest price point.2.Don't blow your budget on the giftIf you've got the money, an expensive gift is lovely.But there's no need to take out loans to prove your love for the happy couple.Skip an expensive necklace by giving (an appropriate amount of) cash instead.To save on the gift, consider making one: A photo album or scrapbook of memories with the bride and groom shows how much you care.You could also share the gift with other guest(s) or even make gifts with DIY ideas by yourself to save money.e old dresses and suitsYou don't always have to be on a new dress for a wedding.While men have the option of repeating their suits, women are more likely to spend money on new clothes for the special occasion.Butbefore you take out your wallet, consider reinventing something already in your closet.Belts, colorful scarves, shoes can bring life to any outfit.21.How much does a wedding guest spend on the gift on average?A.$673B.$225C.$67D.$9522.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.People always wear their new clothes at the wedding.B.Men are more likely to wear new clothes to attend a wedding.C.It saves you money to creatively wear old clothes.dies tend to wear their favorite suits for a wedding.23.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To help people save money while holding their weddings.B.To give some tips on saving money to attend a wedding.C.To introduce general expenses of attending a wedding.D.To state some aspects to be considered while holding weddings.BIt had been a long winter.Bitter cold, snowy days had hit us again and again.On the warmer days there had been little sunshine, but only cold, icy rain.The sun had become such a rare sight that I had to look at a picture of it on my wall calendar from time to time to remember what it looked like.The grass had remained brown and dormant(潜伏的）in the grassland.My own backyard had turned into a muddy mess that tried to steal the shoes right off my feet as I walked on it.My heart ached and longed for spring, and my own good cheer had trouble rising up against the continuous, cold, gray days.The rain poured down on me as I walked my dogs, holding their leashes in my icy fingers.I looked up at the sky hoping to see the sun smiling down with its warm, golden face.But it was no use.It was then, however, that I saw it.It wasn’t the smiling face of the sun in the sky but a little, yellow face peeking(微露出) through the mud.It was a tiny flower, and it filled my heart with hope and joy.I smiled and thanked God for this little sign that winter would soon be over and that spring would arrive.I felt my good cheer rising up at last and I promised God that I would share it with everyone I could.One day that tiny flower’s seeds will fill the grassland with little, yellow faces smiling up from the ground.Its work will make this world a better and more beautiful place.May we all do the same.May we all shine our light and share our love even on the coldest and grayest days.May we all help to share a bit of spring in winter.May we all work to make this world better and brighter even when it is at its darkest.24.Why did the author look at a picture of sun on a wall calendar from time to time?A.Because she hadn’t seen sunshine for a long time.B.Because she wanted to check how long the cold winter would last.C.Because she couldn’t go out.D.Because she looked forward to spring.25.The author felt _______ before she found the tiny flower.A.worriedB.angryC.hopefulD.frustrated26.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The tiny flower was found in the author’s backyard.B.The tiny flower inspired the author very much.C.The author would share the tiny flower with others.D.The author would never mind the cold weather.27.What can be the best title of the passage?A.A Cold WinterB.A Tiny flowerC.Sharing Makes the WorldD.Hopes Make Our LifeCChinese has overtaken French, Spanish and German to become one of the most promising foreign languages for job seekers in the UK.Research shows graduates in Chinese earn an average yearly salary of 31,000 pounds or more.Chinese students set themselves up for a different university experience from others who take traditional subjects.While an English student may have as little as six hours of a week, those studying Chinese are in class for most of the day.“I had a lot of friends on other courses who didn’t do much in first or second year.You can’t play at Chinese.You have to spend hours and hours writing characters,”says Hannah, who graduated in Chinese Studies from Sheffield University.“The first year was really difficult.Most of my friends admitted at one point to crying because of the pressure.I was almost told at one point that I might want to reconsider and drop out.”So are the evenings in learning characters while your friends are at the student bar really worth it? Despite the painful studying experience, most of the graduates think so.They use Chinese in their chosen careers, and would not have been in the jobs they do now without their knowledge of the language.Liberty now works for the civil service in Beijing.She earned a place on the Department for International Development graduate scheme with a salary of over 30,000 pounds within two years.“The degree was absolutely worth it.Looking around at people I know who have studied French or Spanish at university, there’s not such a chance to use it in the workplace.”Hannah has set her apart in the workplace, but she warns ambitious students to think about whether they would really want to live in China in the future before setting their sights on a profitable career path.“Some people think they are going to learn Chinese and then be a big success, but I think it’s important to be quite realistic about that.”28.What does the underlined phrase “play at”probably mean in Paragraph 2?A.Treat seriouslyB.Learn lazilyC.Talk amusinglyD.Cheat cleverly29.What can you learn from Liberty’s and Hannah’s career experience?A.Chinese degree helped them to find satisfying jobs.B.There are students learning characters at the student bar.C.Graduates with French or Spanish degree have no chance to find jobs.D.By learning Chinese, people are to have a successful career.30.What’s Hannah’s attitude to choosing Chinese as a possible career?A.DoubtfulB.IndifferentC.PuzzledD.Objective31.What is the main idea of the text?A.Many foreign college students come to China to seek jobs.B.Some college students consider dropping out Chinese because of its pressure.C.Chinese is difficult and college students should be realistic about choosing it.D.Chinese degree needs painful working, but it is worthy in job seeking.DThe world's oceans are sick, and getting sicker every day.Two new studies show the warming of Earth's atmosphere is removing oxygen from ocean waters.Oxygen is necessary for all life in the oceans, except for a few extremely small organisms.And researchers said oxygen levels are low enough to threaten all the ocean life that depends on it.Denise Breitburg is an ocean scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center.She is also a member of the Global Ocean Oxygen Network, a team of scientists organized by the United Nations to study the issue.She told the Associated Press, "If you can't breathe, nothing else matters.That pretty much describes it ."Scientists with the Global Ocean Oxygen Network reported that more than 32 million square kilometers of ocean are low in oxygen.These affected areas reach a depth of about 200 meters.This area is bigger than Africa, the second largest continent.The scientists say the area of low oxygen levels has grown about 16 percent since 1950.The Global Ocean Oxygen Network's report is the widest reaching look at decreasing oxygen levels in the world's seas so far.Lisa Levin is a professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a co-author of the report.In her words, "The low oxygen problem is the biggest unknown climate change consequence out there."Levin said past research had shown low oxygen areas that were the result of agricultural pollution.She said past studies also showed how warmer waters had created a lack of oxygen.But Levin said this latest study shows how both problems are connected by common causes and possible solutions.Co-author Denise Breitburg said that some low oxygen levels in the world's ocean are natural, but not to the extent found.Wind patterns and ocean currents, believed caused by global warming, are preventing oxygen from sinking below the surface of the water.In addition, warmer water does not hold as much oxygen and less oxygen mixes into the water, she said.32.Why are the world’s oceans sick?A.Because the ocean life is sick.B.Because the Earth’s atmosphere is becoming warmer.C.Because the oxygen is being removed from ocean waters.D.Because there is too much oxygen to threaten the ocean life.33.What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Oxygen being essential to ocean life.B.Oceans being sicker and sicker.C.Oxygen being not enough in the ocean.D.Atmosphere removing oxygen from ocean waters.34.About _______ million square kilometers of ocean are lack of oxygen in 1950.A.32B.27.6C.37D.20035.From the passage we can learn that_______.A.all life in the ocean depends on oxygen to liveB.oxygen levels in the ocean are likely to climbC.air pollution leads to low oxygen levels in oceansD.cold water holds more oxygen than warm water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。

ADr Almeida left school at 16 with little formal education but got a job as a laboratory technician in histopathology ( 组织病理学 ) at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Later she moved to London to further her career and in 1954 married Enriques Almeida, an artist.The couple and their young daughter moved to Toronto in Canada and it was at the Ontario Cancer Institute that Dr Almeida developed her outstanding skills with an electron microscope.She pioneered a method which better visualized ( 成像 ) viruses by using antibodies to gather them. Her talents were recognized in the UK and she was invited to work atSt Thomas’s Hospital Medical School in London.On her return, she began to cooperate with Dr David Tyrrell. Dr Tyrrell and his team were able to grow quite a few common cold-associated viruses. One sample, known as B814, was discovered in 1960. They found that they were able to transmit ( 传染 ) common cold symptoms to volunteers but they were unable to grow it in routine cell culture ( 细胞培养 ). However, volunteer studies showed its growth in organ cultures ( 器官培养 ). Dr Tyrrell wondered if itcould be seen by an electron microscope. They sent samples to Almeida who found that they were like flu viruses but not exactly the same. She identified what became known as the first human coronavirus ( 冠状病毒 ).Dr Almeida had actually seen particles ( 微粒) like this before while investigating viruses in mice and chickens. However, when she sent her paper about this discovery to a medical journal, it was rejected. It was two years later that the first photographs of the virus she had seen were published in Journal of General Virology. It was named coronavirus because of the crown surrounding it on the viral image.21. Why did Dr Almeida return to work in the UK ?A. Because her family did not like Toronto.B. Because the UK appreciated her talents.C. Because she bettered an electron microscope.D. Because she was the first one to visualize viruses.22. What can we know about B814?A. It could be grown in routine cell culture.B. It was unable to develop in organ cultures.C. It’s exactly the same with influenza viruses.D. It was identified as the first human coronavirus.23. What can we connect with the name “coronavirus”?A. Its viral image.B. Its deadly power.。

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.

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。

They play basketball together, share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one‘s watching.The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome (唐氏症), because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring. Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before. He was anxious the first day he met Parker. But Parker’s big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease. He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager. Like Parker, Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years.As a high schooler, Callari described himself as being the weak kid. When it came to sports, he was always overlooked. His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away. When he went to college, Callari turned to a new sport. His younger brothertrained him to become a boxer. Callari participated in five matches. Out of four of those fights he was the underdog, and he won three times. "I know how it feels, "Callari said. "Society tells you that you can't do this, you can’t do that. "When it comes to Parker, Callari refuses to accept the word “can't”The friends meet twice a week to train. They bike, box, run and work on their core with push-ups. Parker has a short attention span, so it's callari's job to keep him focused. "If Parker can do it, if he's having fun, even with his frustration, then people will ask, ‘Why can't I do that?” Callari said. “That's the whole task right now.”Callari recalls parker's mom once thanking him for taking a "chance" on her son. Callari told her he never viewed it that way. Parker may be the student, but Callari says he's also the one who's learning24. Why was Callari asked to train Parker?A. They shared the same interests.B Parkers parents had faith in Callari.C. Callari took place of his absent colleague,D Callari was an expert in Down syndrome25. What can we learn about Callari when he was in high school?A. He was good at sports.B. He was out of condition.C. He was looked down upon by everyoneD. He was influenced deeply by his brother26. What attitude does Callari have to Parker?A. Grateful B Sympathetic. C. Cautious D. Critical27. What is the text mainly about?A. An inspiring story of a disabled boyB. A high schooler suffering lots of failure.C. The friendship between a disabled boy and his personal trainerD. Ways of developing friendship with the boy with Down syndromeCBeing mistreated at work can make people take out their negative emotions on loved ones at home. But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may help people better cope with them by leaving them at work, where they belong.Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work, says study co-author Shannon Taylor, a management professor at the University of Central Florida's College of Business.The new study backs up this idea, but offers a bit of good news as well: Employees who averaged more than 10, 500 steps a day or burned at least 2, 100 calories were less likely to mistreat their cohabitants than those who averaged fewer steps or burned fewer calories.The findings also revealed that when employees felt they had a bad night's sleep because of work issues, they were more likely to be grouchy at home. "When you're tired, you are either less able or less motivated to regulate yourself." says co-author Larissa Barber, a professor of psychology at Northern Illinois University.Physical activity seems to counterbalance poor sleep, Barber says, because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors. "This study suggests that high amounts of exercise can be at least one way to improve the situations brought by sleep troubles that lead to negative behaviors at home, "she says.Barber acknowledges that finding time to work out and get a full night’s sleep can be difficult when work pressure is mounting, and that often, job stress can be directly related to sleep quality. But, she says, making the effort to burn some extra calories and blow off some steam can be worth it. It's not only good for you, says Taylor, but it can benefit the people live with.28. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Loved people at home B Negative emotions.C. Different work pressures. D More exercise and sleep29. Who will most probably behave angrily to family members?A. A person who is easy to get tired.B. A person who often goes to the gym to work outC. A person who is always treated badly by coworkers.D A person who often argues with colleagues30. The underlined word "counterbalance" in Paragraph 5 is doesn’t in meaning toA. make use ofB. take control ofC. keep up with D make up for31. What can we learn from the text?A. Work pressure makes no difference in sleep quality.B. How to burn more calories has become a major issue for workers.C Enough exercise can replace good sleep in dealing with negative behaviors.D. The amount of calories employees burn affects the frequency of losing temper.DGoogle, one of the world's outstanding tech companies, was attacked. It wasn’t its search engine that was attacked or its advertising platform or even its social network, Google+. Instead, it was a building.Two web security experts hacked (侵入) into its Wharf 7 office in Sydney, Australia through Googles building management system (BMS). One of them, Billy Rios, says, My colleague and I have a lot of experience in web security, but it is not something that people couldn't learn. Once you understand how the system works，it is very simple.”They found the system on Shodan, a search engine that lists devices connected to the Internet, and then ran it through their own software to identify who owned the building. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had no immoral purpose and just informed Google about what they found.According to Mr. Rios, who runs security company Whitescope, there are 50,000 buildings currently connected to the Internet, including research institutes, churches and hospitals, and 2, 000 of those are online with no password protection. Martyn Thomas, a professor of IT at Gresham College in the UK, says, "It is beyond doubt that attempts to attack building management systems are happening all thetime.”Making a building smart generally means connecting the systems that control heating, lighting and security to the Internet and the wider corporate network. There was a strong reason for doing this, said Andrew Kelly, principal security consultant at defence company Qinetiq.Energy savings are the biggest factor in connecting building management systems to the corporate network, he says. "It gives those who run the building better control and offers between 20% to 50% in energy savings, "he adds.But it also makes them less secure. And if any of these feels like a Hollywood film, think again.32. How did Billy Rios and his colleague hack Googles building?A. They invented a search engine and connected it to Googles building.B. They worked for Google and mastered how the building worked.C. They used Google's BMS to find out the owner of the building.D. They connected their own software to the building to run Google.33. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had the intention ofA analyzing some immoral problemsB. explaining the reasons for energy savingsC. entering Google's building to save more energyD. telling Google about the Wharf 7 office's hidden danger34. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. There are many researchers contributing a lot to web securityB. The building management systems of some buildings are in danger.C. The attack on building management systems happens all over the world.D. There are too many buildings connected to the Internet to be managed well35. What is the author’s at titude towards the way of the energy savings of some buildings?A. Negative. B Ambiguous C. Indifferent D Favorable.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。

第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AThere seems to be some truth in the old saying: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away. "A new study in the Chinese population said Wednesday that people who eat fresh fruit on most days are at lower risk of heart attack and stroke than people who rarely eat fresh fruit.The findings, published by the New England Journal of Medicine, came from a seven-year study of half a million adults in China, where fresh fruit consumption is much lower than in countries like the U.K. or the United States.Researchers from the University of Oxford and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences conducted a large, nationwide study of 500,000 adults across China, tracking health for seven years through death records and electronic hospital records of illness. The participants did not have a history of cardiovascular （心血管）diseases or anti-hypertensive （抗高血压）treatments when they first joined the study. The study found that eating a 100-gram portion of fruit per day was associated with about one-third less cardiovascular mortality（心血管死亡率）."The association between fruit consumption and cardiovascular risk seems to be stronger in China, where many still eat little fruit, than in high-income countries where daily consumption of fruit is more common," study author Huaidong Du of the University of Oxford said.Also, fruit in China is almost exclusively consumed raw, whereas much of the fruit in high-income countries is processed, and many previous studies combined fresh andprocessed fruit, said Du.Senior author Zhengming Chen, professor at the University of Oxford, noted that it's difficult to know whether the lower risk in people who eat more fresh fruit is because of a real protective effect. "If it is, then widespread consumption of fresh fruit in China could prevent about half a million cardiovascular deaths a year, including 200,000 before age 70, and even larger numbers of non-fatal strokes and heart attacks," Chen added.21. According to the passage, we can learn that __________.A. The study was conducted internationally among 500,000 adults.B. Daily consumption of fruit is less common in low-income countries .C. Chinese will not die of cardiovascular diseases if they eat enough fresh fruit.D. It knows for sure that the lower risk in people eating more fresh fruit isbecause of a real protective effect.22. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. It is suggested to eat processed fruit rather than raw fruit.B. Male are more likely to suffer from heart attack and stroke than female.C. Research findings link lower heart diseases to more fresh fruit eating.D. The government needs to prevent people from heart attack and stroke .23. Where does this passage probably come from?A. A book review. B .A health report.C. A class presentation.D. A medical advertisement.BA man walked into a small Irish pub and ordered three beers. Bartender was surprised, but he served that man three beers. One hour later the man ordered three beers again. The very next day that man ordered three beers again and drank quietly at a table. This repeated several times and shortly after the people of the town were whispering about the man, who was ordering three beers at once.A couple of weeks later, the bartender decided to clear this out and inquired:“I do not want to pry, but could you explain, why do you order three beers all the time?” The man replied: “It seems strange, isn’t it? You see, my two brothers live abroad at the moment, one –in France and another –in Italy. We have made an agreement, that every time we go to pub each of us will order extra two beers and it will help keeping up the family bond ”.Soon all the town have heard about the man’s answer and liked it a lot. The man became a local celebrity. Residents of the town were telling this story to newcomers or tourists and even invited them to that pub to look at Three Beer Man. However, one day the man came to pub and ordered only two beers, not three as usual. The bartender served him with bad feeling. All that evening the man ordered and drank only two beers. The very next day all the town was talking about this news, some people pray for the soul of one of the brothers, others quietly grieve.When the man came to pub the next time and ordered two beers again, the bartender asked him: “I would like to offer condolences to you, due to the death of your dear brother”. The man considered this for a moment and then replied: “Oh, you are probably surprised that I order only two beers now? Well, my two brothers are alive and well. It‘s just because of my decision. I promised myself to give up drinking.”24. The man ordered three beers all the time because _______.A. people were fond of drinking beers in this pub.B. he missed his two brothers living abroad very much.C. it was an agreement with his brothers to keep up the family bond.D. this would help him become a local celebrity.25. We can infer from the passage that______.A. news traveled fast in the town.B. the man became famous in the town because he was a heavy drinkerC. the man’s brothers liked drinking beer very muchD. the man was strong-minded to give up drinking26. The bartender served the man with bad feeling because ________.A. he would earn less moneyB. he thought the man should order three beersC. he thought one of the man’s brothers had passed awayD. the man decided to drink two beers27. The underlined word “condolences” in the last paragraph can be replaced by______.A. gratitudeB. appreciationC. surpriseD. sympathyCMany fruits and vegetables would disappear from grocery store shelves if it weren’t for honeybees. Almonds, for example, are a $2.5 billion industry in California, and almond growers depend on honeybees to pollinate(授粉） the crop. No honeybees would mean no almonds. Many berries (like blackberries and strawberries) need bees, as do vegetables like cucumbers and squash. And don’t forget tree crops like apples, oranges and peaches. Watermelon and cantaloupes depend on bees, too. In fact, approximately 15 percent of the food Americans eat comes directly from honeybee pollination. Another 15 percent comes from animals that eat foods that bees pollinate. In other words, close to a third of the food that Americans eat currently requires honeybee pollination. Honeybee pollination is so important that bee farmers actually truck their bees from orchard to orchard and farm to farm to help pollinate crops.A honeybee starts the honey making process by visiting a flower. With luck, the flower contains nectar, and the bee sucks some of the nectar up with a little straw built into its mouth. Most flower nectars are like sugar water; there is a little sugar mixed with water. Nectars can contain other beneficial substances as well. To make honey, two things happen.The first thing uses enzymes. One enzyme that bees produce turns the sucrose in the nectar into glucose and fructose. Another enzyme turns some of the glucose into an acid and hydrogen peroxide. By making honey acidic, it kills any bacteria that get into the honey.The second thing uses evaporation to get rid of the extra water. Most of the moisture has to be evaporated, so that honey is only about 18 percent water. Beesevaporate the extra water by putting little drops of nectar in the hive and fanning it with their wings.Honey is a very stable food. It naturally resists molds, fungi and other bacteria, allowing it to last for years without refrigeration.28. Bees are always trucked between different places in order to _____________.A. lay eggs in all the orchards to farmsB. mate with bees living in different zonesC. help bee farmers deal with harmful insectsD. to pollinate flowers or plants grown in different places.29. How does a honeybee suck the nectar from flowers?A. through a little straw built into its mouth.B. with the help of the bee farmer.C. by drinking the water that contains nectar.D. by fanning it with the wings.30. Which one is the way mentioned in the passage to make honey?A. to evaporate most of the moisture in the nectar.B. to kill all the bacteria in the nectar.C. to expose it to sunlight for some time.D. to mix the nectar with some sugar.31. Why honey can be kept for a long time without being cooled?A. Because there is no bacteria in it.B. Because it can stand bad weather conditions.C. Because it protects itself against bacteria naturally.D. Because it is well-preserved in containers.DWhen Andrew was born in Jiangsu, China, his father opened Panda Inn, a sit-down restaurant in Pasadena, California, serving family foods fast and hot.Andrew’s father had taught him to take on a new challenge only after mastering the previous one. It took ten years before Andrew felt he was ready to deal with the all-American challenge: the fast-food industry.The first Panda Express opened in a Southern California mall in 1983. As Pandas began to increase, Peggy, who has a PhD in electrical engineering, gave up her career to join the company full-time, first as president, then as CEO. Today, Peggy and Andrew share the title of chairman.They are big fans of Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, a book they require all job applicants to read before their interview. “Success is a byproduct of our habits,”says Andrew. “We’re very focused on learning how to do the right things well and completely so that what all of us do actually makes an Impact.” Doing the right thing includes paying more than the minimum wage and part of health care for all 17,300 employees, including part-timers. Some warned that this would cause financial problems. But not for the Panda Express. “If you’re too focused on the results and try to develop shortcuts, you’re going to have to pay it back later somehow,” Andrew says.They take seriously the concept that to lead is to serve. It means helping employees improve their livelihood and, in the process, learn to live a fuller life. In the end, Andrew says, “They are better off financially, but they’re also smarter because they’re curious and learning. They take care of themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When all of us do these things well, there’sa better chance that we will treat the c ustomers better.”32. The writer mentions Peggy, who has a PhD, in order to show that Panda Express______.A. needed support from AmericansB. was increasing very rapidlyC. needed wise leadersD. attracted a lot of talented people33. We may infer from the passage that______ .A. Focus on doing the right thing and the results will take care of themselves.B. Chinese food is becoming more and more popular in AmericaC. Panda Express has never met with financial problemsD. Andrew and Peggy are good examples of companies in the US34. Andrew and Peggy share the same idea that ______.A. the habit of reading Stephen Covey’s book leads to successB. they focus on the results and developing shortcutsC. a good leader must be a good servant as wellD. the employees should help their customers improve their livelihood35. The passage is mainly about ______.A. Panda Express’s success in fast-food industryB. the effect that Stephen’s book has on Panda ExpressC. the challenge of the fast-food industry in the USD.

AFrom American Express, wedding guests will，on average，spend $673 on each wedding they attend this year. It includes airfare ($225), hotel ($170), dining out ($116) and dressing up ($95) and the gift. If you have weddings to attend this year, here are some tips for you to avoid breaking the bank.1. Book flights in advanceThe moment you decide to attend a wedding is the time to check flight prices at the best time. Plane fares are higher in the summer, especially in July and August. Booking in advance will save you money, as will watch for sales on lower-cost carriers like JetBlue and Frontier. You can check Google Flights for a calendar of prices showing the cheapest days to fly from apps like Hopper to get real-time alerts when a fare is at its lowest price point.2. Don't blow your budget on the giftIf you've got the money, an expensive gift is lovely. But there's no need to take out loans to prove your love for the happy couple. Skip an expensive necklace by giving (an appropriate amount of) cash instead. To save on the gift, consider making one: A photo album or scrapbook of memories with the bride and groom shows how much you care. You could also share the gift with other guest(s) or even make gifts with DIY ideas by yourself to save money.3. Use old dresses and suitsYou don't always have to be on a new dress for a wedding. While men have the option of repeating their suits, women are more likely to spend money on new clothes for the special occasion. But before you take out your wallet, consider reinventing something already in yourcloset. Belts, colorful scarves, shoes can bring life to any outfit.21. How much does a wedding guest spend on the gift on average?A. $673B. $225C. $67D. $9522. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. People always wear their new clothes at the wedding.B. Men are more likely to wear new clothes to attend a wedding.C. It saves you money to creatively wear old clothes.D. Ladies tend to wear their favorite suits for a wedding.23. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To help people save money while holding their weddings.B. To give some tips on saving money to attend a wedding.C. To introduce general expenses of attending a wedding.D. To state some aspects to be considered while holding weddings.BIt had been a long winter. Bitter cold, snowy days had hit us again and again. On the warmer days there had been little sunshine, but only cold, icy rain. The sun had become such a rare sight that I had to look at a picture of it on my wall calendar from time to time to remember what it looked like. The grass had remained brown and dormant(潜伏的）in the grassland. My own backyard had turned into a muddy mess that tried to steal the shoes right off my feet as I walked on it. My heart ached and longed for spring, and my own good cheer had trouble rising up against the continuous, cold, gray days.The rain poured down on me as I walked my dogs, holding their leashes in my icy fingers. I looked up at the sky hoping to see the sun smiling down with its warm, golden face. But it was no use. It was then, however, tha t I saw it. It wasn’t the smiling face of the sun in the sky but a little, yellow face peeking(微露出) through the mud. It was a tiny flower, and it filled my heart with hope and joy. I smiled and thanked God for this little sign that winter would soon be over and that spring would arrive. I felt my good cheer rising up at last and I promised God that I would share it with everyone I could.One day that tiny flower’s seeds will fill the grassland with little, yellow faces smiling up from the ground. Its work will make this world a better and more beautiful place. May we all do the same. May we all shine our light and share our love even on the coldest and grayest days. May we all help to share a bit of spring in winter. May we all work to make this world better and brighter even when it is at its darkest.24. Why did the author look at a picture of sun on a wall calendar from time to time?A. Because she hadn’t seen sunshine for a long time.B. Because she wanted to check how long the cold winter would last.C. Because she couldn’t go out.D. Because she looked forward to spring.25. The author felt _______ before she found the tiny flower.A. worriedB. angryC. hopefulD. frustrated26. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The tiny fl ower was found in the author’s backyard.B. The tiny flower inspired the author very much.C. The author would share the tiny flower with others.D. The author would never mind the cold weather.27. What can be the best title of the passage?A. A Cold WinterB. A Tiny flowerC. Sharing Makes the WorldD. Hopes Make Our LifeCChinese has overtaken French, Spanish and German to become one of the most promising foreign languages for job seekers in the UK. Research shows graduates in Chinese earn an average yearly salary of 31,000 pounds or more.Chinese students set themselves up for a different university experience from others who take traditional subjects. While an English student may have as little as six hours of a week, those studying Chinese are in class for most of the day.“I had a lot of friends on other courses who didn’t do much in first or second year. You can’t play at Chinese. You have to spend hours and hours writing characters,” says Hannah, who graduate d in Chinese Studies from Sheffield University.“The first year was really difficult. Most of my friends admitted at one point to crying because of the pressure. I was almost told at one point that I might want to reconsider and drop out.”So are the evenings in learning characters while your friends are at the student bar really worth it? Despite the painful studying experience, most of the graduates think so. They use Chinese in their chosen careers, and would not have been in the jobs they do now without their knowledge of the language.Liberty now works for the civil service in Beijing. She earned a place on the Department for International Development graduate scheme with a salary of over 30,000 pounds within two years.“The degree was absolutely worth it. Looking around at people I know who have studied French or Spanish at university, there’s not such a chance to use it in the workplace.”Hannah has set her apart in the workplace, but she warns ambitious students to think about whether they would really want to live in China in the future before setting their sights on a profitable career path. “Some people think they are going to learn Chinese and then be a big success, but I think it’s important to be quite realistic about that.”28. What does the underlined phrase “play at” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A. Treat seriouslyB. Learn lazilyC. Talk amusinglyD. Cheat cleverly29. What can you learn from Liberty’s and Hannah’s career experience?A. Chinese degree helped them to find satisfying jobs.B. There are students learning characters at the student bar.C. Graduates with French or Spanish degree have no chance to find jobs.D. By learning Chinese, people are to have a successful career.30. What’s Hannah’s attitude to choosing Chinese as a possible career?A. DoubtfulB. IndifferentC. PuzzledD. Objective31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Many foreign college students come to China to seek jobs.B. Some college students consider dropping out Chinese because of its pressure.C. Chinese is difficult and college students should be realistic about choosing it.D. Chinese degree needs painful working, but it is worthy in job seeking.DThe world's oceans are sick, and getting sicker every day. Two new studies show the warming of Earth's atmosphere is removing oxygen from ocean waters.Oxygen is necessary for all life in the oceans, except for a few extremely small organisms. And researchers said oxygen levels are low enough to threaten all the ocean life that depends on it.Denise Breitburg is an ocean scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. She is also a member of the Global Ocean Oxygen Network, a team of scientists organized by the United Nations to study the issue. She told the Associated Press, "If you can't breathe, nothing else matters. That pretty much describes it ."Scientists with the Global Ocean Oxygen Network reported that more than 32 million square kilometers of ocean are low in oxygen. These affected areas reach a depth of about 200 meters. This area is bigger than Africa, the second largest continent. The scientists say the area of low oxygen levels has grown about 16 percent since 1950.The Global Ocean Oxygen Network's report is the widest reaching look at decreasing oxygen levels in the world's seas so far. Lisa Levin is a professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a co-author of the report. In her words, "The low oxygen problem is the biggest unknown climate change consequence out there."Levin said past research had shown low oxygen areas that were the result of agricultural pollution. She said past studies also showed how warmer waters had created a lack of oxygen. But Levin said this latest study shows how both problems are connected by common causes and possible solutions.Co-author Denise Breitburg said that some low oxygen levels in the world's ocean are natural, but not to the extent found. Wind patterns and ocean currents, believed caused by global warming, are preventing oxygen from sinking below the surface of the water. In addition, warmer water does not hold as much oxygen and less oxygen mixes into the water, she said.32. Why are the world’s oceans sick?A. Because the ocean life is sick.B. Because the Earth’s atmosphere is becoming warmer.C. Because the oxygen is being removed from ocean waters.D. Because there is too much oxygen to threaten the ocean life.33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Oxygen being essential to ocean life.B. Oceans being sicker and sicker.C. Oxygen being not enough in the ocean.D. Atmosphere removing oxygen from ocean waters.34. About _______ million square kilometers of ocean are lack of oxygen in 1950.A. 32B. 27.6C. 37D. 20035. From the passage we can learn that_______.A. all life in the ocean depends on oxygen to liveB. oxygen levels in the ocean are likely to climbC. air pollution leads to low oxygen levels in oceansD. cold water holds more oxygen than warm water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。

Seat belts are compulsory for front and rear-seat passengers. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08 .*Getting throughFor travelers with motor-homes, it's good that even large motor-homes can travel through the mountain passes. The roads are well maintained and large enough even for trucs.

Par at the railway or sy tram station and complete the journey via public transport. Trams always have priority. Buses have priority when leaving a bus stop. Traffic going up a mountain has priority. Some mountain roads require one-way traffic during certain hours only; these hours will be posted at either end of such roads.*FuelFuel stations along epressways are usually open from 600 a.m. to 10pm or midnight. Outside of open hours fuel is commonly available from automatic pumps that accept 10 and 20 SwF(瑞士法郎) notes or credit cards. Many stations accept major charge cards lie Visa, MasterCard or American Epress. Fuel price ranges from SFr. 1.75.- to 1.95.- depending on the oil price.21.What can you now from the tet?A.

What type of writing is this tet?A. Geography posterB. An activity announcementC. Travel journalD. Travel guideBSince I was first in China in 2012, my life, and China itself, have developed and changed a lot. My first China interaction was in 2012, when I came here with a friend. We traveled from Beijing to Hong ong, all in 5 wees. We had a fantastic time meeting local people, eploring beautiful places and eating delicious food. After this eperience traveling across China and eating local food, I really wondered “How did I liv e without eating dumplings and eggplant on a weely basis?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 22 years!As my Chinese improved during my studies I became more independent and more aware of the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery. I suddenly noticed the thousands of Waimai drivers ooming across the roads on their motorcycles. On deep, dar Beijing winter days and rainy days, Waimai is lie the holy grail and as I enjoyed my tae - away dumplings I would thin and laugh to myself, “How did I live before without being able to get Waimai?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 23 years!In mid-2015, I was bac in China again for my master's degree. That's when I came across my first Mobie “Oh, that’s a unique bie and surely it will get stolen soon ”, I thought as I passed on my own blac bie. But one wee passed and I saw it still there. Then the one Mobie sighting turned into two and three, and soon thousands and then seemingly overnight the streets of Beijing were flooded with orange and yellow wheels. Again, I pondered on how I ever lived without my shared bie account. Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 25 years!China today is a country still steeped in ancient nowledge and custom, yet one that is also bursting with new ideas and changes. Although some things will always stay the same, something else is constantly changing at a pace beyond comprehension. I’m sure as I continue my life here in Beijing I will be swept up in the net new convenience of life that China’s rapid development is bringing out.24.According to the first paragraph, what impressed the author most might be ________.A. Chinese cultureB. Chinese foodC. Chinese peopleD. Chinese history25. The underlined words holy grail in Paragraph 2 probably means________.A. something preciousB. something deliciousC. something epensiveD. something unavailable26. What might be the author’s attitude towards Mobie after it boomed?A. Doubtful.B. CuriousC. Shoced.D. Regretful.27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Chinese ancient wisdom has been replaced by new ideas.B. China is changing steadily and slowly.C. China will always stay as what it was.D. People in China will live a more convenient life in the future.CWith a starting price of $999, the iPhone has the highest-price of any iPhone ever offered. Yet Apple said demand for its latest smartphone has so far been "off the charts."One of the most-taled about features of the iPhone is the new front and bac-facing cameras. Apple says its TrueDepth technology greatly improves performance for photographs and video. The camera is also trained to recognie faces and epressions. The company says this gives users power to open up the phone just by looing at it.The new Face ID recognition system replaces the Touch ID on other Apple devices that used a fingerprint to unloc the phone. It wors by projecting more than 30,000 dots on the face of users to create a ind of map. An infrared (红外线的) camera then reads these mars to create an image that can be confirmed as having the same appearance.Apple says the system is also designed to continually learn. Each time the face is used to unloc the phone, it is supposed to note any changes, such as facial hair or the person getting older. The system can then remember the changes to eep recogniing the person over time.Reviewers reported successful tests in which the phone recognied the face in different situations and unloced the device. But most reviewers also said the feature did not wor perfectly all the time.One fairly common failure was that the Face ID sometimes did not unloc the iPhone if the user wore a certain ind of sunglasses. Not surprisingly, wearing any ind of disguise – even one covering just part of the face – caused Face ID to fail. It was found to wor correctly when the user was wearing headphones or a hat.Apple has also admitted that Face ID could fail when used with young people who loo very much alie. But Apple says its research shows there is only a one in a million chance of another person being able to unloc someone else's iPhone with Face ID. The company has promised the system will become "the new gold standard" for all facial recognition.28. How can users unloc an iPhone ?A. By using a fingerprint.B. By taing a picture.C. By looing at the iPhone .D. By recogniing user’s faces.29. From the tet, we now the new Face ID recognition ________.A. will recognie users by reading the dots projected on their facesB. will recognie users by using the dots on their facesC. won’t recognie users when they get olderD. is no better than the Touch ID technology30. Users can’t unloc an iPhone if they wear ________.A. glassesB. massC. hatsD. headphones31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Young people can’t use the Face ID successfully.B. The system has become “the new gold standard”.C. A million people are using the iPhone .D. Apple thins the Face ID system is very successful.DWhen ordering food only taes a few minutes using a smartphone, it’s only natural that food deliveries have become part of college life. However, a university in Guangi huang autonomous region is trying to put a stop to this trend on its campus.On Nov 1, Guangi University of Foreign Languages banned food delivery services and disposable food boes, both to its campus and dormitories.The ban immediately received fierce criticism from the university’s students, as well as internet users. Some complained that the ban made campus canteens very crowded. “There are not enough seats in the canteen, which forces us to eat standing up or squatting,” a student in the university s urnamed Tan told Guangi Television.The crowded canteens also mean that etra time is spent dining, which could have been used to nap during the lunch brea. Some even complained that the canteen only provides a few dishes, most of which don’t taste so great.Su Junlv, from the university’s student affairs office, eplained that the ban was carried out because off-campus food posed safety riss for students. It’s believed that tae-away food had created a serious garbage problem, as there were often a large number of used food boes found in campus garbage cans after students had finished their meals.According to Su, the ban was also brought in to help students develop a healthy lifestyle. “While food delivery services bring convenience, they let students form some lay habits,” Su told inhua. “They spend a whole day in the dorm playing video games, watching TV soap operas and ordering food online.”However, in the eyes of Liu Junhai, a professor at Renmin University of China, there are other approaches that univ ersities could tae to improve their students’ meal times. “Universities should eplore how to improve the dining eperience in the canteens, such as the queuing and variety of dishes,” he told inhua.32. What does the passage mainly tal about?A. The convenience brought by food delivery.B. The effect of crowded canteens on students.C. A solution to stop students becoming lay.D. A ban on food delivery in campus.33. In students’ opinion, what would be caused after the ban was carried out?A. It would tae students less time to eat in the canteen.B. Students would enjoy various tasty dishes in the canteen.C. Some students may have their meals without seats in the canteen.D. Students would have a longer nap during lunch brea.34. According to Su Junlv, the ban is intended to ________.A. tell the students all off-campus food is unhealthy.B. rid the campus of used food boes.C. force students to spend less time on entertainment.D. improve the dining eperience in the canteens.35. What can we infer about Liu Junhai’s attitude to the ban?A. NegativeB. SupportiveC. IndifferentD. Septical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。
