For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful. In the PISA survey, which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15﹣year﹣olds around the world, Finland is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western world?Until the 1960s Finland's school system had been influenced largely by its neighbor, the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years; some went on to private schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to change and modernize their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive. Lawmakers made a simple decision: a basic school for all the 7﹣ to 16﹣year﹣olds. Compulsory education begins at 7. The government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool as well.Most of Finland's schools get their money from the government. The people who are in charge of the education system, from teachers to officials are trained teachers, not politicians like in other countries.Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. Schools in Finland are small, at least for international standards. So teachers know every pupil in their school and try everything to succeed with their pupils. That is why dropout rates are low compared to other countries. In contrast to other nations, teachers in Finland are highly respected. Finland selects its teachers very carefully: only talented students go on to a university and receive a master's degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its youth.All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances in education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and poor, as in America or other western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and the worst students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education, the highest rate in the European Union.（1）What did the Finland government do in the middle of the 1960s？________A They changed the school system.B They lengthened preschooleducation. C They encouraged students to go to private school. D They learned modern education from neighboring countries.．（2）We can learn from the text that________.A the children in Finland are educated equallyB the children in Finland attend preschool at the age of sixC the school system in Finland is better than that in SingaporeD the school equipment in Finland doesn't meet international standards．（3）The author mentions Shanghai， Singapore and South Korea to show________.A Asian countries are successful in school educationB the school system in Finland has been very successfulC students in these places are better than those in European countriesD the educational system in Asia is different from that in the western world．（4）What can be the best title for the text？________A What Differences European Schools HaveB What Good Schools Provide Students withC Why Finland's School System Is SuccessfulD Why Finland's School System Has Changed．3. Dieting to lose weight has become very popular in recent years. People have become more health conscious and try to take better care of their bodies by eating more healthily and exercising more regularly to lose any unnecessary fat that they may have.Not only are people being more careful about what they eat, they are also concerned（关心） with how they eat and how their meals are prepared. People are taking more time for each meal. Many avoid the so﹣called "plastic" fast﹣food hamburgers and choose to eat a salad or a sandwich of more healthful ingredients in a quiet restaurant with a more comfortable atmosphere. At home, they also try to take enough time to eat a relaxed dinner without phone or TV interruptions.While dieting may be viewed as beneficial, it has also become a serious problem for Americans, particularly for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological （心理的） addiction. They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body weight, and although they look like skeletons, they still insist that they are fat.The current wave of exercising, dieting and the problems produced have caused many organizations to begin educating the public. Many schools, hospitals, health organizations, newspapers and magazines, for example, are offering classes, printing articles and so on to inform the public of the way to exercise and diet of the dangers of dieting too rapidly, and of the places people can go for medical help if they find themselves on the road to "diet addiction".（1）These days people are dieting more because________.A they are getting fatter and fatterB they realize the danger of junk foodC they grow aware of healthD they eat more healthily．（2）Which way of eating is strongly advised in the passage？________A Enjoying food with phones on.B Finishing dinner in a short time.C Avoiding a salad or a sandwich.D Eating in a relaxed atmosphere.．（3）If you are getting into "diet addiction"， what should you do？________A See a doctor.B Keep dieting.C Take exercise.D Attend classes.．（4）What is the last paragraph mainly about？________A What organizations are offering medical service.B Where people with dieting addiction can go for help.C How people are helped to solve dietingproblems. D What causes the organizations to educate the public．4. My father had always been an alert observer of human character. Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses. It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad's test. None did. Dad was always right ﹣they didn't pass my test either. After Dad died, I wondered how I'd figure it out on my own. That's when Jack arrived on the scene. He was different from any other guy I'd dated. He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother, discussing some composers. My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn't a turkey like the other guys I'd brought home. Jack passed my family's test. But what about Dad's?Then came my mother's birthday. The day he was supposed to drive, I got a call. "Don't worry, " he said, "but I've been in an accident. I'm fine, but I need you to pick me up."When I got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom. "How about gardenias（栀子花）? " Jack said, pointing at a beautiful white corsage（胸花）. The florist （花商）put the corsage in a box.The entire ride, Jack was unusually quiet. "Are you all right? " I asked. "I've been doing a lot of thinking, " he said. "I might be moving." Moving? Then he added, "Moving in with you." I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. "What? " I asked. "I think we should get married, " he said. He told me he'd planned his ________ in a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right away. "Yes, " I whispered. We both sat dumbfounded, tears running down our cheeks. I'd never known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval."Oh, let's just go inside." Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. "Happy Birthday!" we shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears. "Mom, what's wrong? " I asked. "I'm sorry, " she said, wiping her eyes. "This is only the second gardenia corsage I've ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born." "From who? " I asked. "Your father, " Mom said. "He gave me one right before we were engaged." My eyes locked on Jack's as I blinked away（眨掉） tears. Dad's test? I knew Jack had passed.（1）According to the text， we know the writer's father was________.A interested in observing things aroundB good at judging one's characterC strict with her boyfriendD fond of challenges．（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 2？________A Jack got the family's approval except Dad's.B Jack was different from any other boy.C Jack was getting on well with Mother.D Jack knew a lot about piano.．（3）The underlined word "proposal" in Paragraph 5 means________.A piece of adviceB wedding ceremonyC celebration of birthdayD offer of marriage．（4）On hearing "moving in with you"， the writer felt________.A pleasedB worriedC surprisedD disappointed．第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

AEverybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends.What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University-New York says, “Robots’ noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that. “Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity!The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).1. In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man's best friends because they can _________.A. take the place of man's rescue jobsB. find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC. serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD. get into small spaces2. From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can recognise a person who is alive by______.A. the noise made by the ratB. the rat's unusual behaviorC. the signal sent by the radio on the rat's backD. the smell given off by the person3. Rats have all the following advantages except that_________.A. they are more fantastic than other animalsB. they are less expensive to train than dogsC. they don't need electricityD. they are small and can get into small placesBForeign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there's an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP,标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen's English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents.Scouse, Glaswegian and the Black Country-from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands-are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.In a 2015 study by the University of New South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest rated accent was the Brummie accent, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered the working class.However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in a RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you advantages.Kong Seong-jae, 25, is an Internet celebrity from Seoul.After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He’s now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he’s learned. “British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent,” he said.So if you're working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.4.What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak in a RP accent.B. Only “the Queen's English” is accepted in the UK .C. Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English.D. Any Received Pronunciation a round the world is also called “the Queen's English”.5.What do people think of the Brummie accent?A. It is favored by foreign visitors to the UK.B. It is closest to the RP accent.C. It is smart and easy to understand.D. It is spoken by people of the working class.6. What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Speaking in a RP accent.B. Speaking in regional accents.C. Speaking the Brummie accent.D. Speaking like Harry Potter.7. What is the passage mainly about?A. A study about the most intelligent accent in Britain.B. A comparison between different British accents.C. How much British people value the RP accent.D. The impact of regional accents on people’s lives.CParts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts (蝗虫) that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path.And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. “We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts,” said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senega l’s worst affected area.This is West Africa’s biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten (威胁) Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia. Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suffering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fight the pest.Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6,000 hectares (公顷) per day with pesticide (杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster,” said Mohamed Abdall ahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania.Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization warned.8. By using “dark cloud” to describe locusts in the fi rst para-graph, the author of the article ________.A. showed the size and speed of the mass of locustsB. suggested the great damage that locusts can causeC. warned that locusts would sweep the continent like rain cloudsD. both A and B9. The story is mainly about ______.A. West Africa's united effort in fighting a disasterB. the difficulty in controlling locustsC. how locusts caused great damage to West AfricaD. a struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa10. What can be inferred about the locust disaster from this passage?A. It would be even more serious in AsiaB. It is out of controlC. It affected only the warning areasD. It can’t be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas11. Which of the following is WRONG ?A. Senegal is to the southwest of Sudan.B. Twelve countries affected by locusts have united but still lack pesticide.C. The locusts can cause such damage mainly because it has no natural enemy in West Africa.D. Sud-Fm offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort.DLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the wor ld’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.12.

After years I was still very happy to pick up pennies on the ground, I usually saved them up. I usually bought a pack of gum or a bag of chips when it was enough. After growing up, I heard a story about coins. It was said that our loved people sometimes would leave pennies on the ground in front of us. People wanted to show us that we were loved and watched over kindly. I never doubted that story even as an adult. It is difficult for me to find a lot of money on the ground, but pennies are there all the time. Maybe that is why I still enjoy seeing them and picking them up, no matter how dirty or old they are.A few months ago, I was walking to the local post office to mail a letter. As I entered the room, I saw not one, not two, but four pennies shining in the sunlight. I smiled and picked them up. I kept them in my hands as I walked in the post office. “Four is Ok,” an office said to a lady. The lady began searching her purse. Her face went red. I understood what had happened. I laughed to myself at this surprising moment. I placed my pennies on the desk before her. The smile I got in return was worth a thousand dollars.The coins weren’t so valuable to me, but they did matter to her. I just performed a little kindness. I was happy.5．What might the author probably buy when he saved enough pennies?A．A set of storybooks B．A pack of chipsC．A box of chocolates D．A bag of sugar6．When grown up, the author .A．saw some careless women lost coinsB．thought rich people threw coins on purposeC．still believed the story about coinsD．found old people forget coins on the ground7．What can we learn from this passage?A．Doing small acts of kindness is goodB．Every coin should be used to buy important thingsC．We should look for coins when we are walkingD．Pay more attention to what you hear from now onI was having a picnic day with my sister. We both like to ride her motorcycle and that day we drove to the nearest park. We bought some coffee and cakes, and then we were enjoying our food. Within a few hours, the sky was changing and looked ready to drop a heavy rain. We packed everything and were ready to go. My sister, who was sitting on a bench, suddenly was very still and couldn’t talk to me. she didn’t move. Her eyes were rolling and she was about to lose consciousness (知觉). I held her in my arms and as ked if she wanted to rest. She didn’t answer and only said “Sorry”.It started to rain and I didn’t know what to do. She was fighting to stay aware but her skin was pale and her eyes were acting strange. Suddenly, from nowhere, a woman on a bicycle appeared, wearing a raincoat. “She isn’t looking good. Do you want me to call an ambulance (救护车)?” “Yes, please, yes!” I begged.She did. Struggling with the rain, she managed to call some policemen, who quickly helped me carry my sister to a safer place. The ambulance arrived and we went to a hospital, where she was treated in time and she came to life in the morning after rest and medical help.An interesting fact was that I guessed the woman in the raincoat was a doctor or a nurse. I later learned from o ne of the police officers who told me: “No, she was an ordinary person who took some courses on emergency situations (紧急情況).I am so grateful that she appeared exactly at he right moment.
