The poor man always sat there, looking at the big hotel in which the rich man lived. One day, the rich man got out of his car and said to the poor man, "Excuse me. I want to know why you sit here and look at my hotel every morning." " Sir," said the poor man, " I am a failure. I have no money , no family, no home. I sleep on this bench, and every night I dream that one day I'll sleep in that hotel." The rich man said , " Tonight your dream will come true. I'll pay for the best room in that hotel for you a whole month."A few days after, the rich man went into the poor man's room to ask him how he was enjoying himself. To his surprise, he found that the man had moved out of the hotel back to his bench. When the rich man asked why, he said, " You see, when I'm sleeping on my bench, I dreamed I am there, in the big hotel. It's a wonderful dream. But when I was there， I dreamed I was back to this cold bench. It was a terrible dream, and I couldn't get any sleep at all."5.The poor man lived in ______ before he met the rich man.A. the hotelB. his homeC. the parkD. the car6.Every morning, the poor man sat on the bench and ______ .A. waited for the rich manB. looked at the rich man's hotelC. looked at the rich man's carD. enjoyed the clean car7.Every night the poor man dreamed of ______ .A. sleeping in a hotelB. becoming richC. owning that hotelD. being the rich man's friend8.The poor man moved out of the hotel because ______ .A. he didn't want to live in such a fine roomB. he didn't like the rich manC. he couldn't pay for the roomD. he couldn't get any sleep at all thereCWhen my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.By Jack9.Jack brought the couple their food very fast because _______.A. the manager asked him to do soB. he respected the elderlyC. the couple wanted him to do soD. he wanted more pay10.When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became _______.A. nervousB. satisfiedC. unhappyD. excited11.After this experience, Jack _______.A. lost his job in the restaurantB. made friends with the coupleC. no longer respected the elderlyD. changed his way with older people12.Which of the following is TRUE?A. From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.B. Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.C. The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.D. The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.DHow can we improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my destiny (命运). I cannot change it."Certainly not! You don't have to suffer too much. Your destiny depends on yourself, not on any other factors.I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best. But in fact she hasn't.Remember that you get what you pay. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don't expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a little failure, but use it as feedback (反馈). Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively, you also have to act positively.If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.13.The writer's attitude towards destiny is that___.A. we can change itB. we can't depend on ourselvesC. we must accept itD. we have to suffer it14.According to the passage, what should you do if something goes wrong?A. Regard it as a little failure.B. Get your hands off your phone.C. Sit around and wait for luck.D. Do something to solve the problem.15.The underlined word "positively" in the passage means___.A.不礼貌地B.消极地C.积极地D.礼貌地第二节（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。

APat O’Burke was a poor Irishman with a large family, and one morning, waking up very early from cold and hunger, he decided to go shooting in a wood near his cottage. The wood belonged to Lord Northwood, a rich gentleman, Pat had no right to go there, but in it there were swarms of rabbits and flocks of birds that were good to eat, and Pat determined to take the risk. Suddenly he saw the owner, with a group of friends, coming toward s him in the wood. There was a look of anger on Lord Northwood’s face as he caught sight of the gun in Pat’s hands. Pat’s heart sank with fear, but he saw there was no hope of escape, so he walked boldly(大胆) up to the company and said to Lord Northwood, “G ood morning, sir, and what has brought you out so early this morning?” Lord Northwood, rather surprised, said he and his Mends were taking a little exercise to get an appetite(食欲) for their breakfast. Then, looking at Pat with suspicion(怀疑), he said, “but why are you out so early in the morning?” “Well, sir” said Pat, “I just came out to see if I could get a breakfast for my appetite.” The whole crowed burst into laughter at Pat’s ready wit(机智), and with a smile LordNorthwood walked on, leaving Pat to try his luck with the rabbits.1.

There are a lot of ways to meet other people’s needs. For example, some volunteers provide help after a disaster. Others are happy to get dirty while repairing homes or planting trees or flowers in poor neighborhoods. Young people see suffering and loneliness around them and find ways to help. And history lovers help archeologists(考古学家) search for ancient objects to help deepen our knowledge of the past.Volunteers work in many areas around the world, including Haiti. More than four years have passed since a 7.0 earthquake shook the nation. The exact number of people who died may never be known. Thousands of survivors of the Haitian earthquakes still live in temporary shelters. Last year, former American President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn joined five hundred volunteers in the town of Leogane to build houses.Organizations do not have to be large to get volunteers. An activist group in Dharamsala, India is a good example, Jodie Underhill from England arrived in northern India several years ago. She planned to volunteer for an environmental project. She could almost not believe how much rubbish was ruining some of the area’s most beautiful sights. Jodie Underhill learned about how to deal with the rubbish while taking part in other volunteer projects. But soon enough she formed her own group, Mountain Cleaners. Jodie Underhill says the work is very hard. But she praises the group’s efforts as a wonderful experience. The young Englishwoman says the Indian media started calling her “Garbage Girl”. And she says she was pleased with the name.American teenagers also volunteer in many ways .5. The first paragraph serves as a(n) ___________.A. explanationB. introductionC. commentD. background6. What do we know about Jodie Underhill according to the text?A. She was born in DharamsalaB. She formed her own group to make money.C. She mainly works on dealing with rubbish.D. She was called “ Garbage Girl” by Americans.7. What can we learn from the text?A. It is difficult for small organizations to get volunteers.B. The number of people died in Haiti’s earthquake is unclear.C. Most of the volunteers are good at collecting money.D. History lovers mainly learn about history from ancient objects.8. What is most likely to be di scussed in the paragraph that follows?A. How to join in a volunteer groupB. Why people offer their services to othersC. The benefits that volunteers can gainD. The volunteer work that American teenagers do.CRiding School:You can start horse—riding at any age.

Well trained staff members.DThe iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fashion. Apple has cleverly taken advanta ge of the power of the letter “i” --- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2015. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms like e-mail first came into use.Most “i” products are aimed at young people and considering the major readers of independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.※Clearl y the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “Micro blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last ten years.But as history shows, people grow tired of fashions. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.12. People use iPlayer to __________.A. read newspapersB. watch TV programs onlineC. make a callD. listen to music13. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.A. popularB. clearC. uncertainD. unique14. Paragraph 6 connects the power of “i” with ________.A. Apple’s productsB. information technologyC. the Western cultureD. the Internet15. The last paragraph suggests that __________.A. the popularity of “i” products may not last longB. the letter “b” replace letter “i” to name the productsC. fashions don’t necessarily change with timeD. “i” products are oft en of high quality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。

One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages（甘蓝菜） and carrots（胡萝卜） in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was raining hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.On his way home he saw a person lying on the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him.The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked: “Are these yours?” “Yes, sir.” the farmer answered timidly（胆怯地）. ”Have you killed the man?” “No, no, sir.” the farmer said in a hurry.” When did you see the dead man?” ”About seven last evening.” “Did you see who killed the man?” “No, Sir.” The officer brought out a knife and asked,“Have you seen it yet?” ”No, Sir.’ The officer became angry and told the policemen to beat him up （殴打他）and send him into prison.That evening the officer went on trying(审判) .Pointing to the knife, he asked again,” Have you seen it yet?” ”Yes, Sir.” The officer was happy and asked,” When and where?” “I saw it here this afternoon, sir.”4.The farmer decided to sell the vegetables to_____.A.buy some food for his familyB.buy some medicine for his wifeC.go to see a doctorD.go to the cinema5.The farmer did n’t sell out his vegetables until the evening because_____.A.they were too badB.they were very expensiveC.it rained hard that morningD.few people liked to go out on such a bad day6.The farmer ran away quickly because_____.A.the policemen were coming towards him.B.his wife was waiting for him at homeC.he was afraid to see a dead man.D.it was so late that he couldn’t stay there any longer.7.The officer tried the farmer to_____.A.know who had killed the man.B.know if he had seen the dead manC.ask when he saw the dead manD. .ask if he had seen the knifeCI suffered from mental（心理的） illness and depression（抑郁） when I was younger, and it totally affected my teenage years. But after a long struggle, I found a hobby that changed my life.My depression really kicked in（开始） after my parents moved to the UK when I was about 11 years old. Having to get used to life in a foreign country was very difficult. The friends I knew were gone, and the changes in my environment led to my depression. I had problems in many parts of my life, which made it feel impossible for me to carry on（继续）.At that time, I didn’t understand that depression was an illness. I remember a particular（特别的）day when I couldn’t find enough strength to get myself home from playing in the park—it felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders（肩膀）.Other times, I even thought about killing myself —I just felt so trapped（陷入困境的）. I never really reached out for help（向别人求助） either, as I felt that there wasn’t anyone who could have helped with my situation.What turned my life around（使我的生活好转）, however, was discovering street dancing. I was introduced to it by a friend, and I started taking classes at a studio （工作室） in London. After a few weeks, I began to go out and meet a lot of other dancers to practice and train with them on a regular basis（定期地）. It gave me a purpose, and eventually the happiness I gained from it helped me manage my depression. The dancing helped me get my life back, focus on my studies, and get through university.My advice to anyone who might be going through something like I was is to reach out for help. The thing about life is that it changes, and you never know what might come on your way. If someone had said to me during those dark moments that I would have gone on to achieve the things I have, I wouldn’t have ever believed it.Just take each day as it comes, and remember that there’s always someone, or something, out there to help you.8.How did the author deal with his depression at first?A.He turned to his old friends for help.B.He talked about it with his parents.C.He put up with it by himself.D.He read many articles about it.9.How did street dancing benefit the author?A.It helped him find a good job.B.It taught him how to control his emotions perfectly.C.It let him find many true friends.D.It cheered him up and made him feel positive10.What does the author suggest people do when they feel down?A.Always be confident in themselves.B.Find someone or something to rescue them.C.Wait for help to come patiently.D.Accept everything that life sends their way,11.How might the author feel about his future?A.Hopeful.B.Fearful.C.Satisfied.D.Uncertain.DMany people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts(专家),however,will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language,though.Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year. Because they need to learn language to became part of their communities（社会）.Adults,on the other hand,are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community,and adults rarely（很少） get the chance to practice as much as young children do.Moreover.children leaning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring（勇敢的） and confident Adults,however,often feel pressured （有压力的）to be perfect when learning a new language.This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.When young children learn a new language,they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society.This mind set(思维模式) helps them embrace（接受）learning a new language without feeling like they're doing something unusual or“too hard”.So if you want to learn a new language,go for it! It’s never too late to learn a new language. If you're older,it may take more work,but it can be done.If you'rea young child,though,now is the time to step out and learn a new language!12.By “Language is their life”,the author means that children .A.can't live without languageB.lead a happy life every dayC.practice a new language a lotD.are taken good care of adults13.What may make it hard for the old people to learn a new language!A.They are afraid of being laughed at.B.They usually have too many interests.C.They think making mistakes is natural.D.They always make all kinds of mistakes.14.Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning new language?A.The behaviors they have.B.The learning attitudes.C.The future plans they have made.D.The materials they are using.15.According to the author,a new language .A.can never be learned by the old peopleB.can be grasped by the people easilyC.can be understood only by the old peopleD.can learned by both the old and the young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。
