What do we know about Jacob K. Javits Convention Center?A. It was built and named for New York Senator Jacob K. Javits.B. It is the largest convention center in New York City.C. It is owned by the New York City Convention Center Operating Corporation.D. It is a marketplace to host conventions, trade shows and special events.2. If yo u go to Javits Convention Center on December 15, you’re probably interested in ________.A. womanly artB. agricultural produce tradeC. sales forceD. talent shows3. To know more about the events you can ________.A. phone the CenterB. log in and start automaticallyC. sign up at the websitesD. search the relevant websitesBIf your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands, you might have a hard time believing the news: e-mail is on the decline.At first thought, that might seem to be the case. The incoming generation, after all, doesn’t do e-mail. Oh, they might have an account. They use it only as we would use a fax machine: as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites. They rarely check it, though.Today’s instant electronic memos—such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages—are more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They go without the salutation(称呼语) and the signoff(签收); we already know the “to” and “from.” Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise and less time. This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, I can now send you an easily-read message that you can read—and respond to—on the go.The coming of the mobile era is responsible for the decline of e-mail. Instant written messages bring great convince to people. They can deal with them at about any time: before a movie, in a taxi, waiting for lunch. And because these messages are very brief, they’re suitable for smart phone typing.Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. On the other hand, tweets and texts feel ephemeral—you read them, then they’re gone, into an endless string, e-mail still feels like something you have and that you ca n file, search and return to later. It’s easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important new sand longer explanations.So, e-mail won’t go away completely. Remember, we’ve been through a transition (过度) like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That’s not how it works. Postal mail found its smaller market, and so will e-mail. New technology rarely replaces old one completely; it just adds new alternatives.4. What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts?A. Contact close friends.B. Send long messages.C. Fill in some forms.D. Communicate with their colleagues.5. Which of the following is mainly discussed in paragraphs 3 and 4?A. The possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail.B. The likes and dislikes of the young generation.C. The rapid development of e-communication channels.D. Evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages.6. What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Automatically-sending.B. Randomly-written.C. Hardly- recognized.D. Shortly-appearing.7. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. It’s too earl y to determine the decline of e-mail.B. E-mail has reasons to exist on its own advantages.C. E-mail, just like postal mail has come to its end.D. We should feel sorry for the decline of e-mail.CTime talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work.In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very urgent and requires immediate attention. It is the same with telephone calls made after 11:00pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he probably thinks it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstanding arises between people from cultures that treat time differently. In the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one cannot escape. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections, which are to be kept separate “one thing at a time”. Thus, an American may feel angr y when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.Americans look ahead and are concerned almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the foreseeable future and not the future of involving many centuries.Since time has much different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.8. According to the passage, an announcement made during the day in a factory mustbe very important because ______.A. it interrupts the work of all employeesB. it is made by the managerC. it makes everyone lose his jobD. it communicates in many ways9. In the United States, a phone call made after 11:00p.m. is considered ______, in theview of the writer.A. as important as one made in the early morningB. impolite since it disturbs the receiver’s sleepC. to be a threat to the receiver’s lifeD. even more urgent than one made early in the morning.10. The expression “the foreseeable future” means _______.A.the future which involves centuriesB. B. the future that one looks forward toC. the future that will not be far awayD. the future toward which one makes progress11. The writer concludes that people of different countries will understand each otherbetter if ________.A. they keep in mind that different cultures treat time differentlyB. they are concerned with the futureC. they learn the way time communicatesD. they know how to communicate with each otherDProduced by Hunan Satellite TV, Where Are We Going, Dad? invites five male celebrities from different fields and their children to spend quality time together in new environments while accomplishing various survival tasks.Since it first aired in January,2013, Where Are We Going, Dad? has been sweeping the whole nation and has become China’s most popular show, averaging more than 600 million viewers each week and 640 million downloads online. Even the China Daily, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese government praised its success, “The deep affection on display in the show is heart-warming.”But what accounts for the show’s popularity?Part of the appeal is the chance to peek into the lives of popular Chinese celebrities and their children. Audiences are delighted to watch the failed attempts of celebrity dads making dinner, combing hair, and disciplining children. At the same time, the cute kids themselves and their authentic and entertaining behaviors are very impressive and attractive.“Another reason for the success of the show lies in the fact that it is a reexamination of the father's role in traditional Chinese culture,” said the general director of the show. In a society still influenced by the concept that “men rule outside and women inside.”, many Chinese fathers are poor at expressing their feelings toward their children. Usually, they appear strict and distant. But on the show, we see fathers are much gentler on their kids and more involved in their upbringing. This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society—what is the role of fathers in today’s China?A fascinating part of the show is that you can see many parenting styles. The five fathers on the show all have very diverse parenting styles, which is great because it shows people there isn’t just one way to raise a child.But Chinese parents increasingly realize that discussing and respecting their children’s choices may be a more appropriate way to prepare them for modern society. Meanwhile, the show can remind adults of their own childhood and the love of father. For those parents, they will rethink their own responsibility as parents and understand their kids better.12. The chief function of the underlined sentence (in Paragraph 2) is _____.A. to sum up the main idea of the paragraphB. to introduce a new topicC. to arouse reader’s interestD. to express strong feelings13. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A. Traditionally, children are left to be brought up by mothers alone in China.B. Modern Chinese fathers wonder how to treat their children.C. The role of fathers is changing in China.D. More and more mothers go out to work.14. Which of the f ollowing is NOT the reason for the show’s success?A. People are curious about celebrities’ life and their kids.B. The show makes people reconsider father’s role in today’s China.C. The show displays various parenting styles.D. The audience think hi ghly of the celebrities’ parenting styles on the show.15. What is the best title of the passage?A. Why is Where Are We Going, Dad So Popular?B. The Great Success of Where Are We Going, Dad?C. What is the Role of Fathers in Today’s China?D. Various Parenting Styles in China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；选项中有两项为多余选项。

Situated on a block where several buses stopped, it served the people who had a few minutes to wait for their bus.Every afternoon around four o’clock, a group of schoolchildren would burst into the shop, and business would come to a stop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and pass on. But I didn’t mind if the children waited for their bus inside. Sometimes I would hand out a bus fare when a ticket went missing-always repaid the next day. On snowy days I would give away somedoughnuts. I would lock the door at closing time, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived.I enjoyed ray young friends, but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their lives—until one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four o’clock. He identified himself as the father of two of my favorites.“I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children. I worry about them taking two buses to get borne. It means a lot that they can wait here and you keep an eye on them. When they are with the doughnut lady, I know they are safe.” I told him it wasn’t a big deal, and that I enjoyed the kids.So I was the Doughnut Lady. I not only received a title, but became a landmark.Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children. They become, well, Doughnut Ladies. Like the men at the skating rink (滑冰场) who let my boys ring home; Or the bus driver who drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldn’t leave until I arrived to pick her up; Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at work—even though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors. “Was that a police car I saw at your house last night?”That wasn’t a police car. That was a Doughnut Lady.24. According to the passage, the author sometimes .A. sold bus tickets to the childrenB. gave the children free doughnutsC. did business with the children’s helpD. called the children’s parents to pick them up25. By saying “...it wasn’t a big deal (Para. 4),” the author meant that .A. sh e hadn’t done anything significantB. she hadn’t spent much time with the childrenC. she hadn’t made a lot of money from the childrenD. she hadn’t found it hard to get along with the children26. What can we learn about the police officer?A. He took the boys to the police station.B. He helped the boys look for their mother.C. He drove the boys back home in a police car.D. He managed to make sure of the boys’ identity.27. The passage suggests that .A. running a business requires skillB. taking responsibility is a moral virtueC. devotion should be everything in lifeD. there are always no small acts of kindnessCFear is a fact of life everyone faces from time to time. In most cases fear is a healthy reaction to a dangerous situation. But sometimes fear can be so extreme that it interferes with normal living. That is what happened to me driving cross-country last summer.I’d agreed to help my brother, Mac, move from the East Coast to California. He would drive a rental truck loaded with his belongings and I would follow him in his car, then fly back. We figured it would be a simple trip, with four or five motel (motorists’ hotel) stops along the way.Living and working in coastal Georgia for most of my life, I did not have a great deal of long-distance driving experience. Looking back on it today, I can see that I’d always felt a sudden, sharp pain of fear when driving over small bridges and along hilly highways. And as I was getting ready for the trip I had an unclear concern about the steep mountain roads that lay ahead. But I thought I would get used to them.As we crossed some high bridges near the Blue Ridge Mountains on the first leg of our trip, a kind of breathlessness gripped me, a sinking, rolling feeling in the pit of my stomach. I tended to move slightly away from the edge of the roadway and the drop-off beyond. My knuckles (指关节) whitened from my tense grip on the steering wheel. At the end of each bridge, a great rush of relief would come over me, only to be replaced in short order by fear of the next obstacle.When we stopped in Nashville the first night, I mentioned my feelings lo Mac, who is the practical sort. “Oh, that’s nothing.” he said cheerfully. “Lots of people hale driving on mountain roads and high bridges. Just turn up the music on your radio and focus on that. Keep your mind occupied.”28. Which is NOT the author’s attitude towards fear?A. Fear can sometimes disturb your life.B. It is natural to feel fear in everyday life.C. In dangerous situations, fear may do good to your body.D. Whenever you feel fear, you are likely to make a wrong decision.29. How did the author and his brother go to California?A. They rented a truck and drove it in turn.B. The author and his brother drove different vehicles.C. The author drove while his brother flew to California.D. The author drove a rented car while his brother drove the truck.30. To the author the trip is .A. frighteningB. pleasantC. excitingD. exhausting31. Mac asked his brother to turn on the radio and focus on that in order to let him .A. keep using his brainsB. kill time during the long tripC. think of other things instead of fearD. enjoy the beautiful music along the wayDLanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation leads on to deliberate imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.It is a problem we need to get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.32. Before children start speaking .A. they need equal amount of listeningB. they need different amounts of listeningC. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructionsD. they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions33. Children who start speaking late .A. may have problems with their listeningB. probably do not hear enough language spoken around themC. usually pay close attention to what they hearD. often take a long time in learning to listen property34. A baby’s first noises are .A. an expression of his moods and feelingsB. an early form of languageC. a sign that he means to tell you somethingD. an imitation of the speech of adults35. The writer implies .A. parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakC. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quicklyD. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating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。

Casey rather enjoyed being around friends who had something in common with each other. They had their own school, bowling area, and movie theatre. She especially loved it when her dad would come home each day and greet her with a new joke and tickles.Today was different, though. When her dad walked into the room, he looked sad for some reason. He just kissed her on the forehead and told her mum that he needed to talk to her. Casey knew something was wrong.When her mum and dad came out of the other room, mum was crying. Dad sat down and began to explain that he has been called to go to Iraq to help with the war effort. Casey was so surprised that she couldn’t speak for a moment. Sh e began to feel tears in her eyes. How could she live without her dad for a whole year?Soon, the day came. Her dad was leaving. As Casey and her mom watched him climb up the steps to his cockpit, the tears began to flow and it felt like they would never end. It was hard for Casey to believe that she wouldn’t be seeing her dad for so long. They depended on him for so many things. Who would fix the broken window? Who would greet her with jokes and tickles at the end of the day? And then the thought hit her, “What if he doesn’t make it home?” Casey began to sob more than ever.4.

Children living on the base could see movies in their theater.6. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Casey was worried that they couldn’t live without her father.B. Casey saw her father off at the airport.C. Casey’s dad looked sad.D. Casey’s father left home.CWhen a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer’s claims, the first step is to present the warranty (保修卡), or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results.However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coining out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”. The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsive for protecting consumer’s rights.7. When a consumer finds that his or her purchase has fault in it, the first thing he or she should do is to ______.A. complain personally to the managerB. threaten to take the matter to courtC. write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchaseD. show some written proof of the purchase to the store8. How can a consumer make his or her complaint more effective, according to the passage?A. Explain exactly what is wrong with the item.B. Threaten to take the seller to court.C. Make polite and general statements about the problem.D. Avoid having direct contact with the store manager.9. According to the passage, which of the following is suggested as the last alternative that consumers may turn to?A. Complain to the store manager in person.B. Complain to the manufacturer.C. Write a complaint letter to the manager.D. Turn to the Consumers’ Rights Protection Organization for help.10. The phrase “live up to” in this context means ______.A. meet the standard ofB. realize the purpose ofC. fulfill the demands ofD. keep the promise of11. The passage tells us ______.A. how to settle a consumer’s complaint about a faulty itemB. how to make an effective complaint about a faulty itemC. how to avoid buying a faulty itemD. how to deal with complaints from customersDNext time you find yourself drenched (湿透) in an unexpected heavy rain, look on the bright side-it will be a memorable experience. While wet weather may make us feel gloomy, it sharpens the memory and improves our recall. But those who fell in a good mood because it’s a sunny day are able to remember less well, according to memory tests carried by Australian researchers.Professor Joe Forgas, who led the research, said: “It seems strange but a little bit of sadness is a good thing. People performed much better on or memory test when the weather was unpleasant and they were in a slightly negative mood. On bright sunny days, when they were more likely to be happy, they flunked it.”The tests were carried out on shoppers at a store in Sydney, where researchers randomly placed ten small objects on the check-out counter. On rainy days, sad music was played in the store. When it was bright and sunny, customers heard cheery music. This was done to further influence them towards negative or positive moods. After shopping, customers were asked how many of the objects they could remember. Their scores were three times higher when the weather was bad and they were feeling angry, compared with those tested on sunny days. The results were published in Journal of Experimental Psychology. A report on the findings said: “They point to a growing body of evidence that the way people think, the quality of their judgments and the accuracy of their memory are all significantly influenced by positive an negative moods.”Professor Forgas said, “We found that weather-inducted negative mood improved memory accuracy. Shoppers in a negative mood showed better memory and higher discrimination ability.”A worse mood helped to focus people’s attention on their surroundings and led to a more thorough and careful thinking style, while happiness increased confidence and forgetfulness.Being happy tends to promote a thinking style that is less focused on our surroundings. In a positive mood we are less likely to make more snap (匆忙的) judgments about people we meet. Mild negative mood, in turn, tends to increase attention to our surroundings and produce a more careful, thorough thinking style.Accurately remembering everyday scenes is a difficult task, yet such memories can be on importance in everyday life. Surprisingly, the influence of mood states on the accuracy of real-life memories is still poorly understood.12. In the research, researchers play different music toA. make customers become sadder or happierB. help customers choose what they wantC. promote customers to buy more goodsD. get customers to make a quick choice13. The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 2 may mean “”.A. conductedB. failedC. passedD. understood14. According to Joe Forgas, on sunny days, people .A. will make careful judgments on othersB. tend to pay more attention to their surroundingsC. will have more confidenceD. will have a better recall15. What can we know from the research?A. Forgetfulness is hither troublesome.B. It’s important to feel in a good mood.C. It’s memorable to experi ence a rainy day.D. Gloomy days are good for memorizing things.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。

Meals in that dining room were a time for four generations to become one. And always that grandfather clock stood like a trusted old family friend, watching over the story swapping and gentle kidding that were a part of our lives.As a child, the old clock fascinated me. Even more wonderful to me was my grandfather’s routine. He carefully wound that clock with a special key each day. I remember watching as my grandfather took the key from his pocket and opened the hidden door in the massive old clock. He inserted the key and wound—not too much,never overwind, he’d tell me solemnly. Nor too little. He never let that clock wind down and stop. When I got a little older, he showed me how to open the door. I remember the first time I did, I trembled with anticipation. To be part of this family ritual was sacred.After my beloved grandfather died, it was several days after the funeral before I remembered the clock!“Mama! The clock! We’ve let it wind do wn.”The tears flowed freely when I entered the dining room. The clock stood there, deserted and quiet, seeming smaller and not as magnificent as before. I couldn’t bear to look at it.Years later, my grandmother gave me the clock and the key. The old house was quiet. No ticking or chiming of the clock—all was still. The hands on the clock were frozen, a reminder of time slipping away, stopped at the precise moment when my grandfather had ceased winding it. I took the key in my shaking hand and opened the clock door. Slowly, respectfully, I inserted the key and wound the clock. It sprang to life. Tick-tock, tick-tock, life and chimes were breathed into the dining room, into the house and into my heart. In the movement of the hands of the clock, my grandfather lived again.24. By referring to th e grandfather clock as a trusted old family friend, thewriter suggested that .A. the clock belonged to his grandfather for a long timeB. the clock was trusted by all the members in his familyC. the clock had witnessed the four generations grow into oneD. the clock had accompanied the family and shared their happiness25. What can we infer from the writer’s detailed description of his grandfather’s routinein the 2nd paragraph?A. It was troublesome to make the clock work.B. He greatly missed his late grandfather.C. It was fantastic to play with the grandfather clock.D. His grandfather had a preference for winding the clock.26. In Para. 5, why couldn’t the writer bear to look at the clock?A. Because it had been deserted after the funeral.B. Because it was not as big and impressive as before.C. Because it reminded him of the time with his grandfather.D. Because it had wound down and the hands were frozen and stopped.27. From the last paragraph, we can know .A. the author’s grandmother asked him to protect the clockB. the author has repaired the clock himselfC. the author missed his grandfather by keeping the clock going like himD. the author was very happy to get the clockCCrucial work has been done to safeguard China’s cultural treasures and more responsibilities are being placed on the government's shoulders.“More efforts will be made to hold officials accountable (when accidents happe n),”Luo Shugang, minister of culture, said in Beijing during the two sessions.Last year, a pair of stone candelabra found in a Ming Dynasty emperor’s tomb was stolen, but local officials covered up the theft for months. After the artifacts were traced, 17 administrators were disciplined for the incident. Twelve officials in Hebei province were also held responsible in 2016 after an illegal real estate development was started near the Eastern Qing Tombs. Fires resulting in damage to six key cultural heritage sites under State protection also led to 23 officials receiving punishments in 2017.China recently established an accountability system to clarify who is responsible for protecting each of the country's 767,000 registered “unmovable”cultural herit age sites, such as structures and monuments. Several major crimes involving cultural relics have been prevented. The Ministry of Public Security released most-wanted lists twice last year specifically to strike at such crimes. It led to the capture of 16 of the 20 suspects in the list.“Protection of cultural relics has many more legal references now,” the minister said. “However, to implement the laws that safeguard cultural relics, it is essential to conduct an archaeological investigation before any major infrastructure ( 基础设施) construction begins,” he added.Having a clear understanding of cultural resources is one way to better protect the nation's heritage. Consequently, the Culture Ministry has organized several nationwide surveys in the past five years. The surveys found that 108 million cultural relics are housed in public museums and other state-owned institutions. More than 870,000 intangible cultural heritage items were also registered.28. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How to protect cultural relics.B. Why government officials are held accountable.C. Importance of protecting cultural heritages.D. Government’s efforts to protect cultural treasures.29. What does the third paragraph intend to tell us?A. Chin a’s cultural treasures are well safeguarded.B. Some cultural relics have been damaged due to the misconduct of some officials.C. The government has had the related officials held responsible for the damage orloss of cultural relics.D. It is the administrators’ duty to protect the country’s cultural treasures.30. The “most-wanted lists” (paragraph 4) probably refer to .A. those who are thought to be guilty of doing damage to cultural relicsB. government officials responsible for crimes involving cultural relicsC. cultural relics that have been lostD. crimes related to cultural heritage sites31. Why is it important to carry out archaeological investigations?A. To have legal references for protecting cultural resources.B. To avoid destroying possible cultural heritage sites.C. To better understand our country’s cultural relics.D. To register and house the cultural heritagei tems.DSome materials are obtained from natural resources that are changed by chemical processes in a laboratory. The resulting artificial materials are synthetic, or human- made.Plastic is a synthetic substance obtained from petroleum, a fossil fuel. The molecules ( 分子) in petroleum are split and then linked into chains. Plastic is an example of a polymer, a material made of repeating patterns of atoms linked t ogether. Most polymers are synthetic. They are made by polymerization, the process of chemically linking many smaller molecules to form a larger molecule that has different physical features. Some polymers, such as proteins, occur naturally.Plastic is a key component of many products. When heated into an almost-liquid form, plastic can be made into fibers, sheets, or molds (模具). It can be mixed with other elements to remain flexible, or it can harden into a solid. Plastic fibers can be made into clothing or carpeting. Sheets of plastic can be made into plates. Molded plastic can be used for protective helmets or car bumpers.Most plastics can be reheatedand remolded repeatedly. Thisfeature makes plastic very easy touse. Polymers can be pulled intofine strings or molded into almostany kind of shape. For example,tubes of plastic can be shaped intobottles by different processes.One such process is extrusionblow-molding. M ost plasticsarealso resistant to many chemicals that might harm other materials. This quality is the reason that so many cleaning liquids are packaged in plastic bottles.Plastics are good insulators that can stop electricity or heat to pass through. Look around your kitchen, and observe where plastics are used. Pot handles are sometimes made of plastic, as are cooking tools, toaster controls, and microwave cookware. Food- storage wraps and containers may be made of plastic. Take a walk outdoors, and note all the plastic items you see. Gardening tools, such as watering cans and sprayers, are often made of plastic. Swings and slides made of plastic do not become as hot as metal, so they are safer for play. Because plastics can be heated, remolded, and made into something else, they can be recycled and reused.32. From which chapter of a science text book is the passage most probably chosen?A. Chapter 6: Earth’s ecologyB. Chapter 7: Earth’s structureC. Chapter 8: Earth’s resourcesD. Chapter 9: Earth’s energy33. Which of the following is NOT used in the explanation of plastics?A.

（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AFamily structure has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. The "Leave it to Beaver" family is no longer the standard, and several variations on family have been created.Nuclear FamilyThe nuclear family is the traditional type of family structure. This family type consists of two parents and children. The nuclear family was long held in esteem by society as being the ideal in which to raise children. Children in nuclear families receive strength and stability from the two- parent structure and generally have more opportunities due to the financial ease of two adults. According to U.S. Census data, almost 70 percent of children live in a nuclear family unit.Single Parent FamilyThe single parent family consists of one parent raising one or more children on his own. The single parent family is the biggest change society has seen in terms of the changes in family structures. One in four children is born to a single mother. Single parent families are generally close and find ways to work together to solve problems, such as dividing up household chores. When only one parent is at home, it may be a struggle to find childcare, as there is only one parent working, which limits income and opportunities in many cases.Extended FamilyThe extended family structure consists of two or more adults who are related, either by blood or marriage, living in the same home. This family includes many relatives living together and working toward common goals, such as raising the children and keeping up with the household duties. Many extended families include cousins, aunts or uncles and grandparents living together. This type of family structure may form due to financial difficulties or because older relatives areunable to care for themselves alone. Extended families are becoming increasingly common all over the world.Childless FamilyWhile most people think of family as including children, there are couples who either cannot or choose not to have children. The childless family is sometimes the "forgotten family," as it does not meet the traditional standards set by society. Childless families consist of a husband and wife living and working together. Many childless families take on the responsibility of pet ownership or have extensive contact with their nieces and nephews as a substitute for having their own children. 1． In what aspect do single parent families usually work together?A．eldercare B．finance C．housework D．tutoring 2． Which of the following belongs to the type of extended family?A．Jack and Betty, who have been married for over 15 years, have two children named Daniel and Chirstine.B．Jose and Maria live with their 3 children. They also live with their parents, an uncle and an aunt.C．Two years ago Darrel and T anya got married. Before they got married Darrel had three sons and T anya had a daughter. Now they all live together.D．Harry and his wife Jane have been married for six years. They have one daughter named Melissa.3． What can be inferred from the text?A．Nuclear families are most common in America.B．The "Leave it to Beaver" family used to be a family type.C．Childless families tend to live with their nieces and nephews.D．Extended families form to take care of the old.BWhen I was five or six years old, I remember watching TV and I would see these commercials and I was watching other children suffer in other parts of the world and you know the commercials were like, "you can give 25 cents, save a child's life." And I would think to myself like, I wonder how many 25 cents I could save up to save all the kids in Africa. And I would say to myself, "When I grow up, when I can get rich, I'll save kids all over the world." I just didn't know I would be in the position to do that by the time I was a teenager.At 17 I started my career here in America, and by the age of 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, such as six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia. Her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors through DKMS. Fast forward to 2012 and then my grandmother, the late Clara Brathwaite, she lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation. At CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one. Just one.All you need to do is help one person, expecting nothing in return. To me, thatis a humanitarian People make it seem too hard, man. The truth is, and what I want the little girl watching those commercials to know, is you don't have to be rich to help somebody. You don't have to be famous. You don't even have to be college-educated.But it starts with your neighbor, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood, you just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can.4． We know from the passage that ________.A．the speaker thought it hard to save 25 centsB．the speaker liked watching commercials on TVC．the speaker was confused by the TV commercialsD．the speaker helped others earlier than she had thought5． What's the correct order of the events that happened?a．The speaker built up her career in America.b．The speaker wondered when and how she could help kids in Africa.c．The speaker's grandmother passed away.d．Jasmina Anema died from leukemia.e．The speaker set up her first charity organization.f．Clara Lionel Foundation was founded.A．a, b, d, e, c, f B．b, a, e, d, c, f C．b, a, d, c, e, fD．b, d, c, f, a, e6． Who does "the little girl" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A．Anyone who wants to help. B．The speaker herself.C．The audience present. D．The speaker's daughter. 7． What's the best title for the text?A．Life Isn't Always Tough B．It's Easy to Be a Humanitarian C．You don't Have to Be Rich to Help D．Be Always Ready to Take ChallengeCA 12-year-old with end stage cancer, the child's parents had recently moved her from the hospital to her home in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Some days later the girl's breath quickened, and her father phoned the family's hospice nurse.The nurse knew the visit would require more than four hours of her time: a two-hour drive in each direction, plus her time with the girl. "Why don't we connect over FaceTime?" she asked. The father agreed, and they connected.The nurse asked the father to move his daughter gently to her side, then to her back, to lift the child's shirt. T he nurse would ask: what do you see, what concerns you, and the father would explain. In this fashion the pair examined the girl—the nurse on her computer, the father his iPad. Together they decided that the nurse's presence was not necessary, that the child had more time.Later, the father reported feeling comforted by the nurse. He appreciated her availability, the fact that she could see what he saw, and their ability to discuss it in real time.Telemedicine has become a trend in America. Some hospitals have gone so far as to specially design telemedicine clinics. The room is staged like an office but with better lighting. There's a nice desk for the clinician to sit behind, a computer situated stage left, and books in the background. A physician taking a video call from home might wear a pair of headphones, equipped with a mic—to ensure whatever the patient says isn't broadcast to anyone off-camera.However, there is something more than the technology bit. According to David, the head of the telemedicine pilot the girl's family had been part of, there are some people who are great in person and you put them on camera they're a dead fish. "Some physicians are camera shy, and thus usually seem ignorant of patients' feelings. For others, the physical isolation can actually help them be more empathetic." He adds."My experience is that, once you get past some initial hurdles, you can maintain an intimate, immediate connection with patients that in some cases may be more useful than even in-person interactions." David says.8． In the case mentioned by the writer, we learn that ________.A．a physician was arranged after the nurse knew it would take a long time B．the nurse successfully diagnosed the girl with an Ipad over FaceTimeC．the girl's father showed satisfaction and thought highly of the serviceD．the 12-year-old girl was dying and should be sent to hospital in no time 9． What do we know about the rooms for telemedicine?A．Better lights are provided for a comfortable environment.B．Headphones with mics are equipped to protect privacy of patients.C．Professional books are in place for immediate consultation.D．The room with a computer is situated in the doctor's home.10．What challenges may clinicians face in telemedicine?A．They are afraid of being isolated from patients.B．They could not examine the patients carefully.C．They are required to deal with in-person interactions.D．They may not feel quite themselves in front of a camera.11．What does the underlined word "empathetic" in paragraph 6 probably mean?A．understanding B．independent C．indifferentD．confidentDEvery country may have to consider what, if anything, to do about "global warming". We should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true.Perhaps the most inconvenient fact is the lack of global warming for well over 10 years now. This is known to the warming establishment, as one can see from the 2009 "Climategate" email of climate scientist Kevin Trenberth: "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is an irony that we can't." But the warming is only missing if one believes computer models whereso-called feedbacks involving water vapor and clouds greatly amplify the small effect of CO2. The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant and it is a key component of the biosphere（生物圈）'s life cycle. Plants get better growth with more of it and part of the increase of agricultural yields in the past century certainly came from additional CO2 in the atmosphere.Although the number of the scientists who are publicly opposed to the claim is growing, many young scientists secretly say that while they also have serious doubts about the global-warming message, they are afraid to speak up for fear of not being promoted or worse.Why is there so much passion about global warming? There are several reasons, but a good place to start is the old question "Cuibono?", or the modern update, "Follow the money". Alarmism over climate is of great benefit to many, providing government funding for academic research, and thus those people who benefit from this fiercely defended their dogma and the privileges it brought them.Every country should support rational measures to protect and improve our environment, but it makes no sense at all to back expensive programs that turn away resources from real needs and are based on alarming but shaky claims of "incontrovertible" evidence.12．According to the passage, global warming ________.A．hasn't happened in the latest 10 yearsB．has become an urgent problem these yearsC．has worsened a little bit in the recent yearsD．has never happened since measures were taken13．Which of the following statements about CO2 does the writer probably agree with?A．CO2 greatly affects the global warming.B．CO2 makes crops more productive.C．CO2 involves water vapor and clouds.D．CO2 is the most important part of the biosphere.14．Why is there so much passion for global warming?A．Because it is a good chance for young scientists to be promoted.B．Because the scientists want to have an insight of the problem.C．Because the government values the problem and tries to solve it.D．Because some people can greatly benefit from the research about it. 15．What's the writer's attitude toward the programs to protect and improve our environment?A．To support all the programs as long as they are beneficial.B．To support cheap programs instead of expensive ones.C．To support the programs that are necessary and reliable.D．To support those programs that use less money and resource.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Apart from a few Indian novels and the Australian and South African book, my literature collection consisted of British and American titles. Worse still, I hardly ever read anything in translation. My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors.So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing. As I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, I decided to ask the planet’s readers for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.The response was amazing. Before I knew it, people all over the planet were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help? Some posted me books from their home countries. Others did hours of research on my behalf. In addition, several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62% of the British who only speak English. Even so, selecting books was no easy task. With translations making up only around 4.5 percent of literary works published in the UK and Ireland, getting English versions (版本) of stories was difficult.But the effort was worth it. I found I was visiting the mental space of the storytellers. These stories not only opened my mind to the real life in other places, but opened my heart to the way people there might feel.And that in turn changed my thinking. Through reading the stories shared with me by bookish strangers around the globe, I realized I was not alone, but part of a network that spread all over the planet.4. Which of the following might be found on the blog A Year of Reading the World?A. Lists of English version books.B. Research on English literature.C. Unfinished novels by British writers.D. Comments on English literature.5. Why was it hard for the author to select the right books to read?A. The author was really busy doing his workB. The author was only interested in a few topics.C. English versions of stories are not widely published.D. Most books recommended are not available in local bookshops.6. The author is probably from ______.A. AmericaB. the UKC. AustraliaD. Canada7. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s experience?A. fast and effortlessB. challenging but rewardingC. hopeless but beneficialD. meaningful but fruitlessCMy oldest child, Emma, just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college. These days, friends and family have begun flooding me with one question: What is she going to do after graduation?The job market is, after all, awfully tough. Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that “recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time.” The bright spot, according to the study, is for students who majored (主修) in STEM-science, technology, engineering and mathematics-areas in which recent graduates “have tended to do relatively well”. But Emma is a student o f the humanities (人文) at a small college. She’s an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food. For quite a while,I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I’m not the least bit worried she will finda good jo b. Yet the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve decided to be honest. “I’m not sure what Emma is going to do,” I now say. “But she’s gotten a great education and has really found her interest.-and I know those things will serve her well over the cours e of her life.”Nowadays, more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates. In this climaet, encouraging your kid to study the humanities, seems, at best, unwise or, at worst, unconcerned with earning a living. But a college is not a vocational (职业) school. And promoting STEM subjects should not be society’s only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world. From the beginning, we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money, as more and more families are doing. To Emma, what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time. Emma’s contribution to the world and how happy she is in it.8. The author’s f riends and family ______.A. are worried about Emma’s safetyB. have been worrying about the floodC. are concerned about Emma’s futureD. are worried about the job market9. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. The number of the graduates is increasing.B. STEM graduates can be better employees.C. STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand.D. More and more graduates like to do a part-time job.10. Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities?A. Because she is interested in it.B. Because her mother told her to.C. Because it is increasingly popular.D. Because she wants further education.11. According to the author, what matters most in choosing a major is that ______.A. it should be among the STEMB. it should be fashionable and interestingC. it should allow a good job and a high salaryD. it should bring achievements and happinessDRecently a study, led by Pedro Hallal of the Federal University, suggests that nearly a third of adults, 31%, are not getting enough exercise. That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. But only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis DrHallal and his colleagues have engaged in.There are common themes in different places. Unsurprisingly, people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones, and old people are less active than young ones. Less obviously, women tend to exercise less than men-34% are inactive, compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions. The women of Croatia, Finland, Iraq and Luxembourg for example, move more than their male countrymen.Malta wins the race for the most slothful country, with 72% of adults getting too little exercise, and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in close behind, 69%. In Bangladesh, just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. Surprisingly, six Americans in ten are active enough according to DrHallar’s study, compared with fewer than four in ten British.These high rates of inactivity are worrying. Human beings seem to have evolved (进化) to benefit from exercise while deliberately avoiding it whenever they can. In a state of nature it would be impossible to live a life that did not provide enough of it. But that is no longer the case. Actually lack of enough activity these days has nearly the same effect on life span (寿命) as smoking.12. We may learn from Paragraph 1 that ______.A. the decline of exercise rates is newly discoveredB. the study suggests 31% of female adults get too little exerciseC. the industrial revolution has changed the way people live to some degreeD. enough data has been collected since the beginning of the industrial revolution13. According to the study, women of Luxembourg ______.A. have little time to exerciseB. hate to get regular exerciseC. take more exercise to lose weightD. exercise more than men in their country14. The underlined word “slothful” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.A. powerfulB. richC. lazyD. unpopular15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Worldwide Lack of Enough ExerciseB. New Health DiscoveryC. Evolvement of Human BeingsD. Benefits of Taking Exercise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。
