Whether it’s to listen to my favorite songs, catch up on the latest news just listen to something to help me relax, the radio is always there for me!I’m surprised when talking to my students in school, to find out that many of them hardly ever listen to the radio because they think it’s boring. I always listen to the radio when I’m driving my car or doing my homework. The radio can also be very useful for me as it often has traffic updates which tell me whether the road I want to use has a traffic jam on it.There is a song by The Buggles called “Video Killed the Radio Star” which I used to listen to alot and now it makes more sense to me. Have TV and the Internet taken the place of the radio for many people?Now that I am living in Germany I recently managed to get hold of an old radio for free and so now I like to listen to it when I’m getting ready in the morning and when I’m making my tea. Of course it can be annoying(t讨厌的) when a song that I don’t like comes on the radio but most of time I like the music that is played and it is also a good way for me to hear new songs. Listening to my new radio in German is good for my language learning because I can listen to the news, and also hear new German songs.I’ve always listened to the radio since I was young and thought that it is a very popular way to listen to music and news, but after talking with my students I have found that might not be the case anymore. Whatever people think, you will still always find me dancing around my room listening to the radio!4. What makes the author surprised according to the passage?A.

Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year0old daughter. “She used to cuddle up(依偎) against me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is understanding which time is which.”Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their mind. “In fact, parents are first on the list, ” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last. ”Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give theirchildren a mental(思想的) break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manger, with their children is a better way to know them.8. “The door to his room is always shut”suggests that the son_________.A. keeps himself away from his parentsB. begins to dislike his parentsC. is always busy with his studyD. doesn’t want to be ignored9.

Parents have to talk with children face to faceC. Parents shouldn’t be angry with teenagersD. Parents should try to understand their teenagersDThe words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens, because some animals are even in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994. Local officers explained that he black bear population(族群) had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people. In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.Months ago, the Swiss government allowed the locals to kill a wolf. This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow (髭羚), a kind of protected animal. They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is related to economic(经济的) development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears. His base also offered jobs to local people.“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,” said Robert May, a British expert atOxford University. “But we shouldn’t put either one to one side, as the future is uncertain.”12.

What can we learn from the second and third paragraph?A. 3,500 black bears were killed in FloridaB. The wolf can’t be killed in SwitzerlandC. The serow is protected in ChinaD. Three old Chinese men’s loss was made up for14. What does the author want to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisen’s story?A. Protecting animals needs hard workB. Zhou was good at feeding wild animalsC. Zhou had a good relationship with local peopleD. Protecting animals can bring economic development15. Which of the following might Robert May agree with?A. Humans can kill animals when their interests are harmedB. We should pay more attention to the future than the presentC. We should consider both the environment and human interestsD. It’s easy to find proper ways to solve environmental problemsII 七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）In our day-to-day lives, we must interact with a wide variety of people.
