It was a special pleasure to have such a 1 day after weeks of hiking, snowboarding and going crazy."Hi, dad! Want some orange juice, graybeard? " Coyote yelled（叫喊） to me much louder than 2 ."No, just bring me some chips!" I shouted back.One time, when I misheard what he said three times in a row, he 3 that I had become too old and started to hear worse. Since then, yelling at me has become a kind of family joke.Pushing everything to the limit was the basis of Coyote's character.

When he wore a green haircut, I would try to convince（说服） him to paint it black. When he got a tattoo（纹身）, we had a/an 5 . All these surely drove me mad, and the big fights started. It is strange but when I was a teenager,my father would act exactly the same and it took me a long time to understand him."Dad, let me show you something, " Coyote said as he was getting back. "Don't get too 6 , okay? " I sighed（叹气）, because I was almost sure of what I was about to see.When he 7 his T-shirt, I saw a new tattoo: some Buddhist symbol, I guess.Coyote has been interested in Asian culture for a long time."Control yourself, graybeard, " I said to myself, trying not to yell something like,"Why the hell would you need another tattoo after you already made that huge first one?

His story started this past. February in the living room in Birmingham. Austin and his father, TJ Perine, were watching a program about a mother panda leaving her babies. "I told him that the babies would be homeless for aA. a churchB.a restaurantC.a poor areaD.a local shelter（1）A.B.C.D.（2）while, "TJ says. "Austin didn't know what homelessness meant, but hewas sad and wanted to know more.Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to theFirehouse Ministries, local shelter（救济中心） that provides housingand food for homeless men. As they drove by, they saw 25 homelessmen standing on the street corner. "Dad, they look sad, Austin said"Can we take them some food and make them smile? "Austin used his pocket money to buy each man a Burger King hamburger and handed the food out himself. Seeing what the burgers meant to the men, Austin returned the next week. He handed out burgers along with his catchphrase （口号）,"Don't forget to show love!"After he returned for five weeks, word of Austin's acts of kindness spread through social-media. Burger King agreed to donate（捐赠）$1, 000 a month for a year to feed the homeless. Soon, churches and shelters began inviting Austin to give out food in poor areas. Thanks to social support, now Austin and TJ can feed 800 to 2, 000 people at once.But Austin isn't just filling bellies. He's improving the lives of those people he meets.On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries, TJ and Austin talked to a man named Raymont.The respect Ausin showed touched Raymont , and Raymont told them his story.Having known his experience, TJ helped him get a job. Finally he was able to rent an apartment. All that was made possible because a little boy took time to care.Austin's actions have now become his family's calling. His grandma Audrey Perine set up the Show Love Foundation（基金会）which helps fight homelessness. TJ left his job to oversee the foundation.As for Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his message of love."It makes me feel like I'm saving the day."Austin's father took him to to see what homelessness meant.Raymont was moved when .Austin offered him a jobAustin bought him some foodAustin showed respect to himAustin listened to his story patientlyA. B. C. D.By setting up a foundation.By asking Burger King to donate.By spreading their stories through social-media. By spending time and money caring about them.16.Grandparents are respected in many human societies.But telling stories about old times and overfeedinggrandchildren seem like distinctly human traits（特征）.Are these classic grandparent behaviors really limited tohuman beings? Do any animals know their grandparentsthe way people do? For most species（物种）on Earth, theanswer is NO! "Usually, there just aren't grandparentsliving anymore when an animal is born." said Mirkka Lahdenper, a biologist at the University of Turku in Finland. Even if an animal's grandparents are still alive, most species spread out to avoid competing for resources, so the chances of running into a grandparent are small.But there are a few exceptions, primarily among mammals（哺乳动物）that live in close social groups. Canadian zoologist Anne Innis Dagg described groups of langur monkeys in India in which older females lived with their daughters and grandchildren.The grandmother langurs have a particular job: they protect the group's babies against hurt from humans, dogs and other monkeys. Some female langurs even give their own grandchildren special treatment, cleaning their fur and stepping in when they play too roughly with other young.Many whale species, too, travel with their families,including both grandmothers and grandcalves. In groupsof sperm whales, according to Dagg, old females helpbabysit the group's young while their mothers dive（潜水）for food. Orca granmothers often lead their familymembers and can live for many years after they stop reproducing. In 2015, scientists suggested that these elder orcas help their grandcalves through hard times, because they remember all the best places to find food.Female elephants rule the whole family. Calves（幼崽）are typically born into groups led by their grandmothers, who can live to around 80 years old. The femaleA.die after reproducingB.teach the young to dive for foodC.have rich experienceD.enjoy travelling with grandfathers（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.B.C.D.（3）Lahdenper found that the calves of young mothers were eight times more likely to survive if their grandmothers lived near them than if they didn't. When the calves'mothers were older and more experienced at raising babies, this beneficial "grandmother effect" disappeared even if the actual grandmothers were still around.It isn't very clear how elephant grandmothers help their inexperienced daughters,said Lahdenper . It is believed that they may help nurse their grandcalves. But Lahdenper thinks that the more likely advantage is the wisdom a grandmother elephant has got during her long lifetime.And what about grandfathers? Studies of humans in recent years have shown that a living grandfather can improve a person's mental health and well-being, said Lahdenera.But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Male animals seldom socialize with their own children, let alone grandchildren. "Males are usually focusing on producing their own children and aren't providing so much care, " Lahdenper said.From Paragraph 3, we know that orca grandmothers .The examples of monkeys, whales and elephants show that .the "grandmother effect" lasts long in the animal worldgrandmothers shoulder great responsibilities in their familiesanimal grandfathers can improve grandcalves' mental healthmost species treat their grandparents like human beings doWhich of the following would be the best title for the passage?Animal grandparents are like human grandparentsAnimal grandmas are born group leadersAre animal grandmas given enough respect?Do any animals know their grandparents?17.Over the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics （ STEM ） related classes in primary, middle and high school education in the U. S. The reason for this direction is well founded: research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behind their international peers in all of these subject cation officials, teachers and parents all felt that the situation needed to be changed,and quickly. However, in the rush to play catch-up in STEM-related areas, there's one important aspect that is being neglected （忽略）: the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.It's long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high school level helps students improve in many areas, such as self-confidence, self-expression, communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree that all of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the same parents and teachers to prioritize （优先安排）study time and classroom time to a subject like drama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult for policy makers and school officials to channel funds （资金） towards classes like drama, when the skills arts subjects develop are considered 'soft skills.' When the modern world is calling out for 'hard' skills, like those needed to succeed in the teach-driven 21st century, how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smaller and smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question 'why spend time and money on drama？' is that drama education has been scientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially in communication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop students with highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally important that we train the teachers that will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is the best way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearably dry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in which the communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation. Drama improve students' public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectively present papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. It's also very important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the real STEM world, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the " soft” people skills necessary to navigate （导航） all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilled one becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate and work in teams.While the nationwide trend （趋势）to focus on playing catch-up in STEM education is reasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's important not to forget the huge effect arts, specifically drama education, have on the overall education of ourA.B.C.D.（1）A.afford B.direct C.create D.raise（2）A.B.C.D.（3）A.B.C.D.（4）children. The question parents, educators, and policy makes should be asking themselves is not 'can we afford to support arts education in schools？' but rather 'can we afford not to？'Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes?Because the world has moved into a teach-driven century.Because STEM classes have long been neglected in America.Because education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.Because US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.The word "channel ” in Paragraph 2 probably mean " "The third paragraph is mainly about .the benefits of drama educationthe importance of STEM learningthe abilities needed for STEM learningthe reasons to improve drama educationThe writer probably agree that .drama is more important than STEM classesdrama education has been the nationwide trendthe result of neglecting drama education is hard to bearAmerican students have made progress in playing catch-up四、任务型阅读（共10分，每题2分）18.On Sundays I took part in Tomato Sauce Day of my friend Deb's family. I amthankful for my beautiful friend to share this family milestone（里程碑）event.Nine family members, myself and a few friends, took part in the day. Sunday was a special day because it was the last time that Tomato Sauce Day event would be carried out at Grandma's home. Tomato Sauce Day is going to be different next year in terms of the surrounds （环境）， however, I have a feeling that all else will remain unchanged.Grandma passed away 5 years ago, and Deb and her uncle bought the property （地产）. Plans are in progress to begin building two new homes on the same place.I listened to the family discussing the activities of the day, past sauce days and memories. A love of the tradition of the day and happy memories of sharing the day with family members who have passed away were recounted. The value of spending（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）time together as a family was obvious.The basic process and recipe （菜谱）for the sauce made by Deb's family remains the same way as it is still done in Grandma's village today:●The event takes place once a year.● Sauce is made by the family, for the family for the year ahead.●The sauce is made with just salt added to the tomatoes. This allows the family to use it throughout the year in various dishes as the base ingredient（食材）. They add their own preferred ingredients in the cooking process.●The women prepare and make the sauce, the men are not involved. The women start the day with a visit to the community garden to collect the tomatoes and then they began the preparation. Once the sauce is cooking, it is lunch time and time for the family to catch up. Tomato Sauce Day is relived by the family all over the year as they open each bottle of red tomato goodness. I am looking forward to trying my sauce tonight. I feel like I need to make home-made pasta to eat it!What event did the writer take part in on Sunday?Where was the event carried out this year?How do the family use the sauce?What do the women do to start the day?Why is the event a family milestone event?五、书面表达（共10分）19.假如你是李华，正在美国格林中学做交换生。

His story started this past. Februaryin the living room in Birmingham. Austin and his father, TJ Perine, werewatching a program about a mother panda leaving her babies. "I told himthat the babies would be homeless for a while, "TJ says. "Austin didn't knowwhat homelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted to know more.Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to the FirehouseMinistries, local shelter （救济中心） that provides housing and food for homeless men. As they drove by, they saw 25 homeless men standing on the street corner. "Dad, they look sad, Austin said "Can we take them some food and make them smile? "A.a churchB.a restaurantC.a poor areaD.a local shelter（1）A.Austin offered him a jobB.Austin bought him some foodC.Austin showed respect to himD.Austin listened to his story patiently（2）A.B.C.D.（3）Austin used his pocket money to buy each man a Burger King hamburger and handed the food out himself. Seeing what the burgers meant to the men, Austin returned the next week. He handed out burgers along with his catchphrase （口号）, "Don't forget to show love!"After he returned for five weeks, word of Austin's acts of kindness spread through social-media. Burger King agreed to donate （捐赠）$1, 000 a month for a year to feed the homeless.Soon, churches and shelters began inviting Austin to give out food in poor areas. Thanks to social support, now Austin and TJ can feed 800 to 2, 000 people at once.But Austin isn't just filling bellies. He's improving the lives of those people he meets. On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries, TJ and Austin talked to a man named Raymont. The respect Ausin showed touched Raymont , and Raymont told them his story. Having known his experience, TJ helped him get a job. Finally he was able to rent an apartment. All that was made possible because a little boy took time to care.Austin's actions have now become his family's calling. His grandma Audrey Perine set up the Show Love Foundation （基金会）which helps fight homelessness. TJ left his job to oversee the foundation.As for Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his message of love."It makes me feel like I'm saving the day."Austin's father took him to to see what homelessness meant.Raymont was moved when .How did Austin help the homeless?By setting up a foundation.By asking Burger King to donate.By spreading their stories through social-media.By spending time and money caring about them.16.Grandparents are respected in many human societies. But telling stories about old timesand overfeeding grandchildren seem like distinctly human traits （特征）. Are these classic grandparent behaviors really limited to human beings? Do any animals know their grandparents the way people do? For most species （物种）on Earth, the answer is NO! "Usually, there just aren't grandparents living anymore when an animal is born." said Mirkka Lahdenper , abiologist at the University of Turku in Finland. Even if an animal'sgrandparents are still alive, most species spread out to avoidcompeting for resources, so the chances of running into agrandparent are small.But there are a few exceptions, primarily amongmammals（哺乳动物）that live in close social groups. Canadianzoologist Anne Innis Dagg described groups of langur monkeysin India in which older females lived with their daughters and grandchildren. The grandmother langurs have a particular job: they protect the group's babies against hurt from humans, dogs and other monkeys. Some female langurs even give their own grandchildren special treatment, cleaning their fur and stepping in when they play too roughly with other young.Many whale species, too, travel with their families,including both grandmothers and grandcalves. In groups ofsperm whales, according to Dagg, old females help babysit thegroup's young while their mothers dive（潜水）for food. Orcagranmothers often lead their family members and can live formany years after they stop reproducing. In 2015, scientists suggested that these elder orcas help their grandcalves through hard times, because they remember all the best places to find food.Female elephants rule the whole family. Calves（幼崽）are typically born into groups led by their grandmothers, who can live to around 80 years old. The female elephants form close relationships, said Lahdenper, and raise their yong together. Lahdenper found that the calves of young mothers were eight times more likely to survive if their grandmothers lived near them than if they didn't. When the calves' mothers were older and more experienced at raising babies, this beneficial "grandmother effect" disappeared even if the actual grandmothers were still around.It isn't very clear how elephant grandmothers help their inexperienced daughters, said Lahdenper. It is believed that they may help nurse their grandcalves. But Lahdenper thinks that the more likely advantage is the wisdom a grandmother elephant has got during her long lifetime.And what about grandfathers? Studies of humans in recent years have shown that a living grandfather can improve a person's mental health and well-being, said Lahdenera. But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Male animals seldom socialize with their ownA.die after reproducingB.teach the young to dive for foodC.have rich experienceD.enjoy travelling with grandfathers（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.B.C.D.（3）children, let alone grandchildren. "Males are usually focusing on producing their own children and aren't providing so much care, " Lahdenper said.From Paragraph 3, we know that orca grandmothers .The examples of monkeys, whales and elephants show that .the "grandmother effect" lasts long in the animal worldgrandmothers shoulder great responsibilities in their familiesanimal grandfathers can improve grandcalves' mental healthmost species treat their grandparents like human beings doWhich of the following would be the best title for the passage?Animal grandparents are like human grandparentsAnimal grandmas are born group leadersAre animal grandmas given enough respect?Do any animals know their grandparents?17.Over the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance of Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics （ STEM ） related classes in primary, middle and high school education in the U. S. The reason for this direction is well founded: research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behind their international peers in all of these subject areas. Education officials, teachers and parents all felt that the situation needed to be changed, and quickly. However, in the rush to play catch-up in STEM-related areas, there's one important aspect that is being neglected （忽略）: the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.It's long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high school level helps students improve in many areas, such as self-confidence, self-expression,communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree that all of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the same parents and teachers to prioritize （优先安排） study time and classroom time to a subject like drama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult for policy makers and school officials to channel funds （资金） towards classes like drama, when the skills arts subjects develop are considered 'soft skills.' When the modern world is calling out for 'hard'A.B.C.D.（1）A.afford B.direct C.create D.raise（2）A.B.C.（3）skills, like those needed to succeed in the teach-driven 21st century, how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smaller and smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question 'why spend time and money on drama ？' is that drama education has been scientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially in communication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop students with highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally important that we train the teachers that will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is the best way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearably dry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in which the communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation. Drama improve students' public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectively present papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. It's also very important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the real STEM world, almost all scientific work happens in teams.Without the " soft ” people skills necessary to navigate （导航） all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilled one becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate and work in teams.While the nationwide trend （趋势） to focus on playing catch-up in STEM education is reasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's important not to forget the huge effect arts,specifically drama education, have on the overall education of our children. The question parents, educators, and policy makes should be asking themselves is not 'can we afford to support arts education in schools ？' but rather 'can we afford not to ？'Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes?Because the world has moved into a teach-driven century.Because STEM classes have long been neglected in America.Because education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.Because US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.The word "channel ” in Paragraph 2 probably mean " "The third paragraph is mainly about .the benefits of drama educationthe importance of STEM learningthe abilities needed for STEM learningD.A.B.C.D.（4）the reasons to improve drama educationThe writer probably agree that .drama is more important than STEM classesdrama education has been the nationwide trendthe result of neglecting drama education is hard to bearAmerican students have made progress in playing catch-up四、任务型阅读（共10分，每题2分）18.On Sundays I took part in Tomato Sauce Day of my friend Deb's family. I am thankful for mybeautiful friend to share this family milestone （里程碑）event.Nine family members, myself and a few friends, took part in the day. Sunday was a special day because it was the last time that Tomato Sauce Day event would be carried out at Grandma's home. Tomato Sauce Day is going to be different next year in terms of the surrounds （环境）， however, I have a feeling that all else will remain unchanged.Grandma passed away 5 years ago, and Deb and her uncle bought the property （地产）.Plans are in progress to begin building two new homes on the same place.I listened to the family discussing the activities of the day, past sauce days and memories. A love of the tradition of the day and happy memories of sharing the day with family members who have passed away were recounted. The value of spending time together as a family was obvious.The basic process and recipe （菜谱）for the sauce made by Deb's family remains the same way as it is still done in Grandma's village today:●The event takes place once a year.● Sauce is made by the family, for the family for the year ahead.●The sauce is made with just salt added to the tomatoes. This allows the family to use it throughout the year in various dishes as the base ingredient （食材）. They add their own preferred ingredients in the cooking process.●The women prepare and make the sauce, the men are not involved. The women start the day with a visit to the community garden to collect the tomatoes and then they began the preparation. Once the sauce is cooking, it is lunch time and time for the family to catch up.Tomato Sauce Day is relived by the family all over the year as they open each bottle of red tomato goodness. I am looking forward to trying my sauce tonight. I feel like I need to make home-made pasta to eat it!（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）What event did the writer take part in on Sunday?
