I couldn’t imagine what they were. She was amazed that I had never tried them and she ordered a portion forus to share. When the waiter brought us some chips, I asked her where the French fries were. She pointed at the plate of chips! Later that week she said she was going to buy some “chips” from the supermarket. She came out with a packet of crisps （薯片）! How come?During that holiday we were also offered “biscuits”with our lunch. This was a very strange idea to me, because in England biscuits are sweet. I later realized that “biscuits”in America are salty snacks. What we call “biscuits’, they call “cookies”.I was also embarrassed when a stranger told me she liked my “pants”. I wondered how she could see them! My mum then told me that they call “pants” what we call “trousers”, the outer clothing that you wear on your legs instead of inside clothing!I was disgusted when I saw an “eggplant” pizza on the menu in a restaurant. But I was puzzled how eggs can grow on plants. My dad ordered this pizza and it was covered in aubergines（茄子）. “They call aubergines ‘eggplant’ in America!”he told me.I think part of the excitement of learning a language is learning about the differences that exist in how it is spoken in different places.5.

Underclothes.CMany people wrongly think that cities don’t have farms and fruits and vegetables are only grown in the country. Believe it or not, there are more urban farms popping up in cities all over the world.Alexandra Sullivan, a food systems researcher in New York, studies urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is another name for farming and gardening in a city environment. Ms. Sullivan studies everything from tiny gardens in empty lots between buildings to bigger fields that have been planted and grown. According to Ms. Sullivan, “Urban agriculture has existed since cities have, across the world.”The number of humans living in urban areas, or cities, is increasing. The amount of people who wanted to garden in urban areas is also rising. Ms. Sullivan says, “In small gardens, on rooftops and indoors, city residents grow fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, and raise animals to produce milk, eggs, honey, and meat. City residents use these foods as supplements to food produced by rural agriculture.”Even though some people who live in urban areas grow crops, urban residents still need to rely on food grown in rural areas. This is because a city doesn’t have enough space to grow enough food for everyone living in it.In New York City, urban farmers have come up with many different ways to grow their own produce, even though there isn’t a lot of room. For example, Brooklyn Grange is a farming operation that has two rooftop vegetable farms in New York City. All together, the farms are made up of 2.5 acres of rooftop space. This makes Brooklyn Grange one of the largest rooftop farming operations in the world.Brooklyn Grange grows all kinds of things. The farming company sells its vegetables to local residents and restaurants. And because the farms are on rooftops, they are specially adapted to their urban location. They use available space that is not needed for anything else. As more urban farmers find ways to grow food in cities, urban residents will be better able to get fresher materials for their meals.8. Which of the following is Ms. Sullivan’s opinion about urban agriculture?A. Urban agriculture has developed recently.B. Urban agriculture takes too much city space.C. Urban agriculture has a history as long as cities.D. Urban agriculture can take the place of rural agriculture.9. For traditional agriculture, urban agriculture is a(n) ________.A. modelB. additionC. competitorD. replacement10. What can we learn about urban farms from the text?A. Urban farms have large farming areas.B. Urban farms can only grow single products.C. Urban farms cannot be transformed into other usage.11. What is the author’s opinion on the urban farms?A. Critical.B. Positive.C. Worried.D. Confused.DWorld Elephant Day is the perfect time to find out more about these amazing animals and what we can do to preserve them so they do not go the way of the mammoth （猛犸象）.World Elephant Day was created in 2011 by two Canadian filmmakers Patricia Sims and Thailand’s Elephant Reintroduction Foundation and was first celebrated on August 12, 2012. They made the documentary Return to the Forest, a fascinating 30 minute film about the reintroduction of caught Asian elephants to the wild.Currently, the demand for ivory（象牙）is becoming bigger and bigger, whose price is higher than that of gold, making elephants bigger targets than ever. Habitation loss is also a danger to the world’s elephant population as it robs elephants of the hundreds of pounds of food they need every day, making it more difficult for them to breed and making it easier for hunters to track them down. Circuses and tourism are also serious threats to the animal s’ well-being.The best way to celebrate this day is to take the opportunity to educate yourself about these magnificent（巨大的）mammals and share your knowledge with others. As ever, simply spreading the word about the dangers these magnificent mammals face via social media can actually make a real change. Expose that “training”elephants often involves tying and beating them daily for months on end. If you want to geta bit more involved, you could choose to make a donation to a foundation dedicated to protecting elephants from hunters or relocating them to locations better suited to their needs.Whichever way suits you best, make sure that you spend this day in a way that helps elephants all over the world, so we, in turn, can continue to wonder at them and their uniquely fascinating way of life.12. What is the main purpose of World Elephant Day?A. To collect donations for elephants.B. To do researchers on elephants’ life.C. To protect the elephants from extinction.D. To make films about all kinds of elephants.13. Which of the following is the biggest threat to elephants?A. Human being.B. Severe climate.C. Natural environment.D. Limited food resource.14. What does the author advise doing to celebrate World Elephant Day?A. Watching the elephant shows.B. Making your own films about elephants.C. Appealing to focus on elephant protection.D. Traveling to Thailand to ride trained elephants.15. According to the text, what is the best way to protect elephants?A. Supplying enough food for elephants.B. Catching and raising elephants in the cages.C. Replacing elephants in suitable wild habitations.D. Attracting elephants to live together with human beings.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。

He is often called the best movie maker Hollywood has ever had. He was known for making movies that offered sharp social comment. Wilder was one of the first directors to do this.Billy Wilder was born in 1906 in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Billy Wilder started law school in Vienna, Austria. However, he began reporting for a Vienna newspaper after graduation. By the 1920s, he was writing movies in Germany. However, the Nazis had risen to power in the nation. Wider was Jewish, and he recognized that he had no future in Nazi Germany. In 1933, he went to Paris. There he directed a movie for the first time. It was called “The Bad Seed”. Then he received word that producers in the United States had accepted one of his scripts. Billy Wilder left Europe for America.In America he formed a writing team with Charles Brackett. The two writers created many films together. Wilder and Brackett wrote several successful movies.One was the nineteen thirty-nine movie, “Ninotchka”, starring Greta Garbo. Ernst Lubitsch directed the film. Wilder always praised this man as a friend and teacher whose humor and expert direction greatly influenced his works.In 1954, Billy Wilder became an independent producer. The nest year, Wilder’s first movie as an independent filmmaker was a huge success. It was “The Seven Year Itch”. In 1959, Wilder made a funny movie that was very popular. I.A.L. Diamond joined Wilder in writing “Some Like It Hot”.By the 1980s, Wilder no longer was considered the most unusual, creative movie-maker in Hollywood. In recent years, however, Billy Wilder received many more awards and honors. Critics praised his gifts to movie making. In 1987, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gave him the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. It is the highest award a producer can receive.4. Which is Wilder’s first successful movie as an independent filmmaker?A. Ninotchka.B. The Bad Seed.C. Some Like It Hot.D. The Seven Year Itch.5. What can we know about Wilder according to the text?A. He intended to be a lawyer at first.B. He starred a movie for the first time in Paris.C. He is the first director to make realistic movies.D. He has been accepted as the most creative movie-maker.6. Why did Wilder leave Germany?A. He was Jewish and couldn’t develop there.B. The Nazis were searching for him everywhere.C. He was invited to produce his script in America.D. He expected to go to Paris to form a writing team.7. What would be the best title for the text?A. The Maker of History of American MoviesB. Billy Wilder — a Best Movie MakerC. An Autobiography of a DirectorD. The Best Director and ProducerCThe sixth mass extinction of life on the Earth is unfolding more quickly than feared, scientists have warned. More than 30 percent of animals with a backbone —fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals — are declining in both range and population, according to the first comprehensive analysis of these trends.Around a decade ago, experts feared that a new range wipeout of species was appearing. Today, most agree that it is underway — but the new study suggests that the die-out is already growing fast.The loss of biodiversity has recently accelerated. Several species of mammals that were relatively safe one or two decades ago are now endangered, including cheetahs, lions and giraffes, the study showed.There is no mystery as to why: our own ever-expanding species — which has more than doubled in number since 1960 to 7.4 billion — is eating, crowding and polluting its planetary cohabitants out of existence. By comparison, there are as few as 20,000 lions left in the wild, less than 7,000 cheetahs, 500 to 1,000 giant pandas.The main drivers of wildlife decline are habitat loss, over-consumption, pollution, other species, disease, as well as hunting in the case of tigers, elephants, rhinos and other large animals prized for their body parts.Climate change is thought to become a major threat in the coming decades, with some animals — most famously polar bears — already in decline due to rising temperatures and changing weather patterns.8. What does the underlined word “accelerated” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Made up.B. Put up.C. Sped up.D. Used up.9. Why has the loss of biodiversity sped up?A. The mankind’s population is growing fast.B. The air pollution is too severe.C. There are fewer species in larger areas.D. Man causes wider water pollution.10. Which is not the main driver of wildlife decline?A. Outside animals.B. Loss of living areas.C. Various illnesses.D. Lack of water.11. How is the future of polar bears?A. Uncertain.B. Hopeful.C. Doubtful.D. Unsatisfying.DWhen your child lies to you, it hurts. As parents, it makes us angry and we take it personally. We feel like we can never trust our child again. Why does lying cause such anger, pain and worry for parents?Parents are understandably very afraid of their children getting hurt and getting into trouble, but they have very little protection against these things as they send their kids out into the word. Kids learn from other kids and from external media, and this makes parents feel unsafe because they can’t control the information and ideas that their children are exposed to.When your kid lies, you start to see him as “s neaky（卑鄙的）”, especially if he continues to lie to you. You feel that he’s going behind your back. You begin to think that your kids are “bad”. Because, certainly, if lying is bad, liars are bad. It’s just that simple. Parents need to make their kids responsible for lying. But the mistake parents make is that they start to blame the kid for lying. It’s considered immoral to lie. But when you look at your kid like he’s a sneak, it’s a slippery slope （滑坡谬误）that starts with “You lie” and ends up at “You’re a bad person”.Kids know lying is forbidden. But they don’t see it as hurtful. So a kid will say, “I know it’s wrong that l eat a sugar snack when I’m not supposed to. But who does it hurt?” “I know it’s wrong that I trade my dried fruit for a Twinkie. But it doesn’t really hurt anybody. I can handle it. What’s the big deal?” That’swhat the kid sees.So I think that parents have to assume that kids are going to tell them lies, because they’re immature and they don’t understand how hurtful these things are. They’re all d rawn to excitement, and they’ll all have a tendency to distort（歪曲）the truth because they’re kids.12. Why do parents worry about their kids and feel unsafe?A. Nobody trusts their kids in the world because of lying.B. Lying always causes their kids to get hurt or get into trouble.C. Their kids are exposed to outside world without their control.D. They can’t protect their kids from other kids and external media.13. What’s the author’s attitude towards parents’ seeing kids as bad if they lie?A. Immoral.B. Negative.C. Supportive.D. Different.14. The underlined word “they” really refers to ________.A. parentsB. their childrenC. other kidsD. bad things15. How do parents react to kids’ lying?A. Taking no notice of itB. Blaming them immediately.C. Pretending to be angry and educate them.D. Accept it but make them responsible for it.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。

AYou may be familiar with the following famous people,but have you heard of their graduation speeches,in which they either share their unforgotten experiences or give you some great inspiration.●Michael Dell,University of Texas at AustinAnd now you've accomplished something great and important here,and it's time for you to move on to what's next.And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. ... You must also commit to the adventure.Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed with and go.●J.K.Rowling,Harvard UniversityHalf my lifetime ago,I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty,but failure.The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure,you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.●Steve Jobs,Stanford UniversitySometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick.Don't lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work,and the only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven't found it yet,keep looking,and don't settle.●Bill Gates,Harvard UniversityWe need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another.They are making it possible not just for national governments,but for universities,smaller organizations,and even individuals to see problems,see approaches and deal with the world's inequities（不公平）like hunger,poverty,and so on.21.What Michael Dell said is to urge us to .A.listen to our heartB.pursue our dreamsC.follow others' exampleD.learn from our mistakes22.What did J.K.Rowling fear most when she was studying in university?A.Poverty.B.Hunger.C.Failure.D.Appearance.23.Who wants to express "Keep looking for what you believe in"?A.Michael Dell.B.J.K.Rowling.C.Bill Gates.D.Steve Jobs.24.What does Bill Gates suggest people do?A.Make contributions to the environment.B.Take responsibility for their own behavior.C.Make joint efforts to rid some global problems.D.Master as much advanced technology as possible.BMany people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometowns behind.Questions arise, though,when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be financial.State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though,the better colleges are private and more expensive.It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.Another major factor is location.Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities.A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake.Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college.School size also plays a major role in the decision process.If you want to get to know your teachers and avoid feeling like just a number,a small college is suitable.For those of you who consider yourself a "people person" and want a wide range of activities,a large college is more fitting.Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education.The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.Finally,one must take into consideration the colleges to which you can realistically be accepted.An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match.Similarly,an average school for an above-average student would not work well.The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there,there probably will be one that is close.Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.25.What's the main idea of the text?A.Procedures of choosing a college.B.Difficulties in attending a school.C.Pros and cons of going to college.D.Considerations in choosing a college.26.We can infer from the passage that .A.an Ivy League school is probably a state collegeB.a small college may bring you a sense of emptinessC.gifted students are likely to choose private collegesD.an average school isn't suitable for an average student27.A "people person" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to .A.a person who tends to be aloneB.a person who is good at socialityC.a person who is afraid of teachersD.a person who is accustomed to a noisy atmosphere28.What does the author think of choosing a college?A.A small college is a better choice for shy students.B.A northern college has a more comfortable climate.C.The location of a college is more important than the size of it.D.You will always find a suitable college if you look hard enough.CIn 2000,Suy Senglim met a French journalist who inspired in him an interest in photography.To put this new-found interest to good use,in 2012 he began to take pictures of Cambodia's vast variety of birdlife.Worried by the loss of biodiversity in his hometown of Mukh Kampul in Kandal province,Senglim created a photography project.He carefully documents each new species he photographs: the common name,scientific name,its identifying features,whether the species is endangered or not.Now the 35-year-old aims to educate Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect development has on nature.Senglim thinks the biggest issues are damage to habitat and illegal hunting.Through his photography work he has also discovered what makes the problem worse is that there is not enough education and law enforcement. Hunting is at the root of Cambodian cating Cambodians about the need for conservation is of great importance to Senglim."Education is very limited.And in terms of legal enforcement,only one institution is standing out,and that is Wildlife Alliance,which has conducted a string of successful crackdowns（镇压）so far. However,there are few major campaigns on wildlife hunting as a whole."Senglim is working on a book on 100 significant bird species from some of the 400 species he has so far photographed,which he hopes will be published in early 2018.He says he looks forward to teaching in high schools and colleges to inspire a new generation of nature-lovers."I think it's time to change the attitude,"he says.29.How did Senglim carry out his photography project?A.By taking more pictures in the wild.B.By improving his photography skills.C.By renewing his interest in loving life.D.By recording new birdlife he photographs.30.What is Senglim's discovery about the wildlife facing greater risks?A.Less development of the wasteland.ck of education and law enforcement.C.Small number of wildlife recorded in Cambodia.D.Fewer campaigns conducted by Wildlife Alliance.31.What does Senglim expect to do in future?A.Strengthen legal enforcement.B.Write more books about photography.C.Change people's attitude to bird species.D.Promote basic education in various schools.DEveryone needs to be safe,loved and to have a sense of belonging.These are inborn and natural basic needs.In an effort to have these needs satisfied,many of us tend to please others.And it works for a while.We find that we experience less conflict with others,but the conflict within ourselves grows.Saying "no" produces feeling of guilt and saying "yes" brings anger.My father was in the military,so we moved frequently.Being shy,I didn't make friends.What's more,I grew up in a household where grades,image and how others saw our family were very important.In our household a "C" was unacceptable,a "B" should have been an "A" and an "A" meant the lesson was too easy.I was too skinny,my sister was too fat and my brother's lips and ears were too big for his tiny head.To stop pleasing others is easier said than done.It's a long process,one in which I am consistently working to perfect.The turning point for me came shortly after I got married.The very first thing we did to end the cycle of catering to others was develop our own identity as individuals and then as a couple.And then we developed a strong set of core（核心）values and a vision for our future.The third and one of the most valuable things we did during this process was develop our own personal influence on others and we valued deeply the opinions of the wiser and more successful people around us.Besides,we should understand that sometimes helping people actually hurts them.Struggle is necessary to success.Struggle strengthens character,making people determined.So sometimes allowing people to struggle is the best thing you can do for them.32.How are we likely to feel when pleasing others?A.Satisfied.B.Angry.C.Happy. C.Guilty.33.What can we infer from the author's experience as a child?A.He grew up doing a lot of housework.B.It was hard for him to adjust to the moving life.C.He realized the value of opinions from others.D.His parents had great expectations of the children.34.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.What steps the author took to go on pleasing others.B.How the author stepped out of the cycle of pleasing others.C.Why the author further developed his values and character.D.When the author turned to others for their valuable opinions.35.What does the author suggest doing?A.Helping others without delay.B.Refusing to help others.C.Thinking twice before offering help.D.Leaving someone alone in trouble.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。

The history of the peppered moth （灰蛾） is an example of the natural selection process.In 19th century England, certain types of peppered moths were able to better blend （交融） into their surroundings. During that time period, great changes were happening in Great Britain. The Industrial Revolution was part of this change, and with it came air pollution. Natural selection often takes hundred or even thousands of years to occur. For the peppered moth, this process occurred comparatively quickly.At the beginning of the Industrial Age, most peppered moths in England were light -colored and covered with black markings, although a few moths had dark -colored wings. Because the light -colored moths blended into thelight -colored bark on the trees, they could not be easily seen by birds that wouldeat them. As the air grew more polluted, however, tree trunks became coveredwith soot （烟煤） and became darker. The light -colored moths became easy forbirds to see against the dark tree trunks. Since the dark -colored moths now hadthe advantage, their numbers grew. Within 50 years, the peppered moth wentfrom being mostly light -colored to being mostly dark -colored.In the 20th century, the air cleared up, and the peppered moth populationchanged again. As tree trunks lighted due to less soot in the air, light-colored moths once again had an advantage. Their numbers increased as soot levelsdeclined. Depending on their environment, the coloration of the moths helpedthem to be“ naturally selected” to survive.4. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word“ thrives ” in the first paragraph?A. Reduces.B. Booms.C. Changes.D. Endangers.5. What can we infer about the peppered moth’ s natural selection process?A. The length of time was unusual.B. The soot levels in England did not affect it.6. What ’ s the difference between light-colored and dark -colored moths?A. Dark -colored moths were originally easy to see on trees.B. Both kinds of moths preferred the dark-colored trees.C. Birds failed to see light -colored moths.D. The color of moths was unimportant.7. Which would most likely happen if soot darkened England’ s trees again?A. Birds would eat fewer moths.B. Moths would not be able to stay alive.C. Light -colored moths would disturb people’ s life.D. The population of dark -colored moths would increase.CHaving three cancer patients in the same household can turn a wholefamily upside down. Michelle Bruce, her husband, Jeremy, and their son,Holden, all had cancer. The family moved to Michelle’ s hometown of Franklin, Nebraska six years ago, so her parents could help.Doctors found Holden’ s brain tumor（肿瘤）, when he was 12 years old. Hisfamily was living in a small town at the time, but there were related doctors inthe state. Holden had two operations in Omaha clinic, both of which weretough.When Holden ’ s cancer came back again in 2012, nothing could be done.But the family didn’ t give up. They reached out to Boston Children’ s Hospital, which has better equipment and doctors with more experience operating onkids. After looking at Holden’ s records, the doctor sent back her diagnosis: Shewas confident that she could remove the tumor.The family was beyond relieved, until they learned insurance wouldn ’ tcover any of the operation’ s costs. The operation would cost $39,000–more than the parents could afford. The family got desperate.In a town of just 1,000 people, however, word traveled fast. Within days, alocal woman Michelle had never met in person called to say she was planningan event to raise money for Holden. Michelle was touched.The event was uplifting. Finally, the town raised $45,000–enough to cover not just Holden’ s hospital bills, but for Michelle and Jeremy’ s trip to Boston with their son.“ I just didn’ t know what to say,” said Michelle.“ Nobody could really believe it.”Holden ’ soperation went much more smoothly than the first two. He iscancer -free and now is attending Central Community College -Hastings on afull -ride scholarship.8. Where did Michelle’ s parents live?A. Florida.B. Boston.C. Omaha.D.Franklin.9.

Country’ s Welfare System ShinedDIt ’ s just been three months after the first bike -sharing company arrived in Singapore, but reports of abuse and vandalism（成心损坏）of shared bikes inthe city keep appearing on social media.The majority of these shared bikes are stationless, which means they donneed to be stopped at a designated（指定的）spot. They lock themselves after your ride is over, and you’ re meant to just leave the bike at the side of a road.But users have been chaining up bicycles outside their apartments, preventing others from using them. Some people bring them up to their apartment floors, so they can’ t be found easily by other users.

Most of the abused bikes belong to either Singapore -based oBike, or ofo, a bike -sharing giant based in China.’ s cost?’ tofo has encouraged Singaporean users to report issues. oBike said thatthe number of bicycles that were damaged made up less than one percent of itsfleet. The company said in February that it planned to bring in “ tensofthousands ” of bikes by mid-2017.

Users start with 100 points, which get takenaway for errant（出格的）behaviour such as forgetting to lock the bike, or parkingat non -designated areas. Users are banned from using oBike when their scoresreach zero. oBike has an eight -man operation team that can remove bicyclesparked casually.When approached for comment, Mobike said,“ InChina,just as in Singapore, there are always a tiny minority of people who abuse the bikes, sowe designed our system to prevent this type of abuse.”12.Who is the owner of most of the abused bikes?A.Chinese government.B.Local government.C.A bike-sharing giant based in China.D.The users of the bikes.13.What is the attitude of the oBike toward the abuse of bikes?A.

He is often called the best movie maker Hollywood has ever had. He was known for making movies that offered sharp social comment. Wilder was one of the first directors to do this.Billy Wilder was born in 1906 in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Billy Wilder started law school in Vienna, Austria. However, he began reporting for a Vienna newspaper after graduation. By the 1920s, he was writing movies in Germany. However, the Nazis had risen to power in the nation. Wider was Jewish, and he recognized that he had no future in Nazi Germany. In 1933, he went to Paris. There he directed a movie for the first time. I t was called “The Bad Seed”. Then he received word that producers in the United States had accepted one of his scripts. Billy Wilder left Europe for America.In America he formed a writing team with Charles Brackett. The two writers created many films together. Wilder and Brackett wrote several successful movies. One was the nineteen thirty-nine movie, “Ninotchka”, starring Greta Garbo. Ernst Lubitsch directed the film. Wilder always praised this man as a friend and teacher whose humor and expert direction greatly influenced his works.In 1954, Billy Wilder became an independent producer. The nest year, Wilder’s first movie as an independent filmmaker was a huge success. It was “The Sev en Year Itch”. In 1959, Wilder m ade a funny movie that was very popular. I.A.L. Diamondjoined Wilder in writing “Some Like It Hot”.By the 1980s, Wilder no longer was considered the most unusual, creative movie-maker in Hollywood. In recent years, however, Billy Wilder received many more awards and honors. Critics praised his gifts to movie making. In 1987, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gave him the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. It is the highest award a producer can receive.4. Whi ch is Wilder’s first succes sful movie as an independent filmmaker?A. Ninotchka.B. The Bad Seed.C. Some Like It Hot.D. The Seven Year Itch.5. What can we know about Wilder according to the text?A. He intended to be a lawyer at first.B. He starred a movie for the first time in Paris.C. He is the first director to make realistic movies.D. He has been accepted as the most creative movie-maker.6. Why did Wilder leave Germany?A. He was Jewish and couldn’t develop there.B. The Nazis were searching for him everywhere.C. He was invited to produce his script in America.D. He expected to go to Paris to form a writing team.7. What would be the best title for the text?A. The Maker of History of American MoviesB. Billy Wilder — a Best Movie MakerC. An Autobiography of a DirectorD. The Best Director and ProducerCThe sixth mass extinction of life on the Earth is unfolding more quickly than feared, scientists have warned. More than 30 percent of animals with a backbone —fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals — are declining in both range and population, according to the first comprehensive analysis of these trends.Around a decade ago, experts feared that a new range wipeout of species was appearing. Today, most agree that it is underway — but the new study suggests that the die-out is already growing fast.The loss of biodiversity has recently accelerated. Several species of mammals that were relatively safe one or two decades ago are now endangered, including cheetahs, lions and giraffes, the study showed.There is no mystery as to why: our own ever-expanding species — which has more than doubled in number since 1960 to 7.4 billion — is eating, crowding and polluting its planetary cohabitants out of existence. By comparison, there are as few as 20,000 lions left in the wild, less than 7,000 cheetahs, 500 to 1,000 giant pandas.The main drivers of wildlife decline are habitat loss, over-consumption, pollution, other species, disease, as well as hunting in the case of tigers, elephants, rhinos and other large animals prized for their body parts.Climate change is thought to become a major threat in the coming decades, with some animals — most famously polar bears — already in decline due to rising temperatures and changing weather patterns.8. What does the underl ined word “accelerated” in Pa ragraph 3 mean?A. Made up.B. Put up.C. Sped up.D. Used up.9. Why has the loss of biodiversity sped up?A. The ma nkind’s population is growing fast.B. The air pollution is too severe.C. There are fewer species in larger areas.D. Man causes wider water pollution.10. Which is not the main driver of wildlife decline?A. Outside animals.B. Loss of living areas.C. Various illnesses.D. Lack of water.11. How is the future of polar bears?A. Uncertain.B. Hopeful.C. Doubtful.D. Unsatisfying.DWhen your child lies to you, it hurts. As parents, it makes us angry and we take it personally. We feel like we can never trust our child again. Why does lying cause suchanger, pain and worry for parents?Parents are understandably very afraid of their children getting hurt and getting into trouble, but they have very little protection against these things as they send their kids out into the word. Kids learn from other kids and from external media, and this makes parents feel unsafe because they can’t control the info rmation and ideas that their children are exposed to.When your kid lies, you start to see him as “sneaky（卑鄙的）”, especially i f he continues to lie to you. Y ou feel that he’s going behind your back. You begin to think that your kids are “bad”. Be cause, certainly, if lying is bad, liars are bad. It’s just that simple. Parents need to make their kids responsible for lying. But the mistake parents make is that they start to blam e the kid for lying. It’s c onsidered immoral to lie. But when you look at your kid like he’s a sneak, it’s a slippery slop e （滑坡谬误）that starts with “You lie” and ends up at “You’re a bad person”.Kids know lying is forbi dden. But they don’t s ee it as hurtful. So a kid will say, “I know it’s wrong that l eat a sugar s nack when I’m not supposed to. But who does it hurt?” “I know it’s wrong that I trade my dried fruit for a Twinkie. But it doesn’t really hurt anybody. I c an handle it. What’s the big deal?” That’s what the kid sees.So I think that parents have to assume that kids are going to tell them lies, because they’re i mmatur e and they don’t und erstand how hurtful these th ings are. They’re all drawn to excitement, and they’ll all have a tendency to distort（歪曲）the truth because they’re kids.12. Why do parents worry about their kids and feel unsafe?A. Nobody trusts their kids in the world because of lying.B. Lying always causes their kids to get hurt or get into trouble.C. Their kids are exposed to outside world without their control.D. Th ey can’t protect their kids from other kids and external media.13. What’s the author’s attitude towards parents’ seeing kids as bad if they lie?A. Immoral.B. Negative.C. Supportive.D. Different.14. The underlined word “they” really refers to ________.A. parentsB. their childrenC. other kidsD. bad things15. How do parents react to kids’ lying?A. Taking no notice of itB. Blaming them immediately.C. Pretending to be angry and educate them.D. Accept it but make them responsible for it.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。
