As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow schoolbus, Luckily the trafic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it．When the bus passed the golden arches（拱形门）of MeDonald′s, they reminded her of a hamburger．She hadn′t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue d ish didn′t look delicious at all．However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet．So now she was really in a black mood．You may have noticed that several colors were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber's morning．In fact, colors influence your life more than you can ever imagine．Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being"a bit green"．To describe a depressed（沮丧的） person, you say that the person is"feeling blue"．In short, colors do add interest to daily conversations．Besides, colors can be used in many parts of your daily life．Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red? Since yellow is the most eye﹣catching color, it can catch people's attention, especially in heavy traffic．As for red, it is the color which usually shows warning; as a result, some trafic signs use this color．For the same reason, hot﹣water taps are usually marked red．The colors of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat．Most fast﹣food restaurants are often decorated in bright colors such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people′s appetites（胃⼝）．Thi is because bright colors are natural colors found in many foods, and, therefore, able lo raise people's spirits．Blue, in comparison with bright colors, is sad to lower people′s appetites because few foods are blue in nature．For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!"Morning, Amber!What happened? You look a bit green, "said Violet, Amber′s best friend,"Nothing…just feeling…blue, "said Amber．"Hey!Come to my place tonight．Do you know what I just bought? A wii! It′s red﹣hot．" Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play wth the wii and said, "Sounds great!"（1）According to the passage， if you are on a diet，________might help．A putting your food in a blue dish or bowlB turning on a yellow light during themeal C painting the walls of the diningroom white D covering the dining table with an orange cloth．（2）Most school buses are painted yellow because________．A it tells other divers to prepare to stopB it helps bus divers say in a good moodC it can easily catch other people′s attentionD it is the color that most schoolchildren like．（3）Which of the following statements is true？________A Amber looked ill when Violet saw her first．B Amber ate up all her fruit salad in the morning．C Amber refused to go to Violet's house in the end．D Amber didn′t eatch the school bus and was late for school．．（4）Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？________A Colors influence people's daily lives．B Most fast﹣food restaurants are painted grey．C Different colors are used for different purposes．D Colors make daily conversations more interesting．．（5）What can we infer（推断） from the passage？________A Amber was not fat at all．B Amber cheered up at Violet's invitation atlast． C Violet didn't know how colors influenced our lives． D Arches ofMeDonald's are painted gold only to make them beautiful．．四、第⼆部分⾮选择题（共60分）阅读表达阅读下⾯的短⽂，根据短⽂内容回答问题．（10分）20. Paying for bus rides with plastic usually makes people think of plastic bus cards．But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in pace of money for city buses．Surabaya， Indonesia's second largest city，located on the eastern end of the country′s main island Java， made this decision in April 2018．Now，locals can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus．A two﹣hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter， producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report．Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day．The head of Surabaya's transportation department（交通部门） said，"With this decision， we hope to raise public awareness about environment， especially people's awareness about plastic waste．"Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day．The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city．This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure．The decision is part of the city's purpose to become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．In order to encourage local people to take buses，the city also added the new Suroboyo buses．The new buses are air﹣conditioned，comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off．The program is well received．People in Surabaya said，"We can reduce waste so it doesn't pile up at home because we can just bring it in and make good use of it． It is a win﹣win situation．"This type of program can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste．回答下⾯5个问题，每题答案不超过六个词．（1）Instead of money， how can locals in Surabaya pay for bus rides now？________（2）How much plastic waste does a two﹣hour bus ride cost？________（3）How much plastic waste is produced in Surabaya every day？________（4）What is the purpose of the new program？________（5）What do local people think of the new program？________五、任务型阅读阅读下⾯的短⽂，并根据所读内容在⽂章后表格中的空格⾥填⼊⼀个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填⼀个单词。

Cassatt, a leading banker of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist. In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young l ady’s family ranked (位列) among the best of Philadelphia’s social families, such an idea could not even be considered.That was how Mary Cassatt, born in 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did not fear before her father ’ s anger. Instead, she was against him with courage and at last made him change his mind. Mary Cassatt gave up her social position and all thought of a husband and a family, which was unthinkable for a young lady in those times. In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance( 坚持), she became America’s most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.1．What in fact was Mr. Cassatt’s main reason in opposing his daughter’s wish?A．Drawing and painting was simply unthinkable among ladies in those days.B．He did not believe his daughter wanted to work seriously in art.C．Ladies of good families simply did not become artists in those times.D．He believed an artist’s life would be too hard for his daughter.2．What made Mary Cassatt’s “fight” to become a leading artist especially hard?A．Her father was against her.

D．She did not come from an artist’s family.3．What do we know about Mary Cassatt’s marriage?A．She never married because she did not want to be just a wife and mother.B．Her marriage failed because she never gave a thought to her husband and family.C．After marriage she decided to give up her husband rather than her career.D．She didn’t marry because for a lady of her social p osition to marry below her was unthinkable.E17、阅读理解。

As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow schoolbus, Luckily the trafic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it．When the bus passed the golden arches（拱形门）of MeDonald′s, they reminded her of a hamburger．She hadn′t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn′t look delicious at all．However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet．So now she was really in a black mood．You may have noticed that several colors were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber's morning．In fact, colors influence your life more than you can ever imagine．Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being"a bit green"．To describe a depressed（沮丧的） person, you say that the person is"feeling blue"．In short, colors do add interest to daily conversations．Besides, colors can be used in many parts of your daily life．Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red? Since yellow is the most eye﹣catching color, it can catch people's attention, especially in heavy traffic．As for red, it is the color which usually shows warning; as a result, some trafic signs use this color．For the same reason, hot﹣water taps are usually marked red．The colors of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat．Most fast﹣food restaurants are often decorated in bright colors such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people′s appetites（胃口）．Thi is because bright colors are natural colors found in many foods, and, therefore, able lo raise people's spirits．Blue, in comparison with bright colors, is sad to lower people′s appetites because few foods are blue in nature．For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!"Morning, Amber!What happened? You look a bit green, "said Violet, Amber′s best friend,"Nothin g…just feeling…blue, "said Amber．"Hey!Come to my place tonight．Do you know what I just bought? A wii! It′s red﹣hot．" Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play wth the wii and said, "Sounds great!"（1）According to the passage， if you are on a diet，________might help．A putting your food in a blue dish or bowlB turning on a yellow light during themeal C painting the walls of the diningroom white D covering the dining table withan orange cloth．（2）Most school buses are painted yellow because________．A it tells other divers to prepare to stopB it helps bus divers say in a good moodC it can easily catch other people′s attentionD it is the color that most schoolchildren like．（3）Which of the following statements is true？________A Amber looked ill when Violet saw her first．B Amber ate up all her fruit salad in the morning．C Amber refused to go to Violet's house in the end．D Amber didn′t eatch the school bus and was late for school．．（4）Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？________A Colors influence people's daily lives．B Most fast﹣food restaurants are painted grey．C Different colors are used for different purposes．D Colors make daily conversations more interesting．．（5）What can we infer（推断） from the passage？________A Amber was not fat at all．B Amber cheered up at Violet's invitation atlast． C Violet didn't know how colors influenced our lives． D Arches of MeDonald's are painted gold only to make them beautiful．．四、回答问题20. Paying for bus rides with plastic usually makes people think of plastic bus cards．But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in pace of money for city buses．Surabaya， Indonesia's second largest city， located on the eastern end of the country′s main island Java， made this decision in April 2018．Now，locals can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus．A two﹣hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter， producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report．Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day．The head of Surabaya's transportation department（交通部门） said，"With this decision， we hope to raise public awareness about environment， especially people's awareness about plastic waste．"Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day．The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city．This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure．The decision is part of the city's purpose to become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．In order to encourage local people to take buses，the city also added the new Suroboyo buses．Thenew buses are air﹣conditioned，comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off．The program is well received．People in Surabaya said，"We can reduce waste so it doesn't pile up at home because we can just bring it in and make good use of it． It is a win﹣win situation．"This type of program can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste．回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过六个词．（1）Instead of money， how can locals in Surabaya pay for bus rides now？________（2）How much plastic waste does a two﹣hour bus ride cost？________（3）How much plastic waste is produced in Surabaya every day？________（4）What is the purpose of the new program？________（5）What do local people think of the new program？________五、填空21. Noisy neighbors are a common problem in a society where many people live closely together．And this can be most important when you share walls，floors or ceilings with neighbors in a fat．A noisy neighbor can make life challenging，especially if noise goes well into night，or happens during early morning hours．This situation needs to be dealt with properly，which requires your ability to keep calm．You should first try to tell your noisy neighbors about the noise． This conversation should be polite， even friendly． It can begin with a statement like．"I am not sure you are aware"．Explain the problem in an honest way，and ask the neighbor to turn down the music，or not to hold parties until 3 a．m． You can also add that you realize they hear your noise too， and you are certainly willing to try to stop anything in your behavior that is creating extra noise．You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirement， and some may act in a bad manner． If the noisy neighbors don't change their behavior， the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter． The letter should show your grievances （不满）and the dates when the noise was quite terrible． For example， if your neighbor has loud gatherings every Friday night that last into the early morning then write down those dates．When the noise remains going on， you should report it to local authorities （权力部门），or even the police department， when it is really necessary． Often， however， the problem is solved when the noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police．Do be aware that you cannot always require noisy neighbors to be quiet． When the noise remains going on， it is wise not to deal with it in an angry or retaliatory （报复性的）fashion． If you have completed the steps and letter， don't start hitting walls or moors around in your home or turning up the music to make your neighbors angry． Just have patience and remember that communication is the most important．六、根据中/英文提示填空22.

The great British men behind him were Shakespeare, Newton, and Darwin. But many people did not know that Churchill was thought to be a bad boy when he was a child.At the age of seven, Winston Churchill was sent to a boarding(寄宿) school named St. George. The school rules were strict. He often got serious punishment. Churchill cried loudly and kicked wildly when he was beaten. At the end of the term, he returned home with a report card and pains all over his body. The report card said that he was “naughty”(顽皮的).At the age of twelve, his father sent him to Harrow Public School, which was famous for training English gentlemen. Because he failed the entrance exam, he was placed in the last group of the class with worst grades. He fell behind the others in study. He gave many people the impression of low energy, strangeness, and lawlessness. Fortunately, he still had a friend, his grandfather. The American of great wealth who had experienced the world said, “Let him go! As long as boys have the chance to show their talents, they are sure to become better.” Churchill kept the words of his grandfather in mind, and secretly looked for it in his heart.Many years later, Churchill was already a successful politician and writer. He worked as a reporter, as Secretary of the Navy, and as Prime Minister (首相) of the United Kingdom. He said, “My grandfather taught me that boys must choose their own path. I don’t have special talents and my success is by working hard.”34．The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.A．Churchill loved his school B．Churchill got good education C．Churchill got less punishment D．Churchill was considered as a bad boy 35．Churchill’s grandfather was ________.A．a gentleman from the UK B．of great help to ChurchillC．rich with little experience D．unsure of Churchill's becoming better 36．The underlined word “Fortunately” in the third paragraph probably means ________.A．幸运的是B．可悲的是C．奇怪的是D．可惜的是37．Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage?①Churchill became a successful politician and writer.②Churchill went to Harrow Public School.③Churchill was sent to a boarding school.④Churchill’s grandfather encouraged him a lot.A．③④②①B．③②④①C．①③②④D．②③④①38．Which part of a magazine is the passage probably from?A．Geography World. B．Science Study. C．History Character. D．Natural Environment.Just the other day, I was in a bookshop and found a book named How to make friends with foreigners. As a Canadian living in China for a year, I was curious to see what kind of advice a Chinese writer giving on this matter.One piece of advice really caught my attention and, I must say, made me feel quite angry. In the writer’s opinion, foreigners are an "opportunity (机会)" to improve your oral English; whenever you see a foreigner, American or English, you should practise speaking English with him or her. If the foreigner doesn’t want to answer your questions, then he or she is a rude person who you wouldn’t want to spend time with anyway. I think this advice is not only incorrect, but also may harm the relationship between Chinese and foreigners in China.Like most other "Lao Wai" living in China, I know how lonely one can sometimes feel living in a culture different from our own familiar (熟悉的) ways. However, I simply accept as part of being here. So far my time in China has been rewarding. I have improved my Chinese language skills, learned about one of the fastest developing countries in the world today and made some very close Chinese friends.However, I have also met many Chinese people who consider me only as an "opportunity" to improve their oral English. I have had people following me from town to my flat to trouble me to teach them English. I have had complete strangers throwing articles orspeeches in my face, insisting that I help them with the English translation. I have had people asking me non-stop questions for half an hour at the weekly English Corner ...Friendship for a lot of foreigners is about spending time with someone whose company (陪伴) they really enjoy. So if there is any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners, I would say that it is this: Treat foreigners as people, not opportunities. Expect to make friendships step by step, over a period of time, not in a rush. ________ If your only reason for becoming fiends with a foreigner is to improve your English, then you will probably find th at you don’t have a foreign friend for long.39．Where is the writer of this passage from?A．America B．China C．Canada D．England 40．Why is the writer of the passage interested in the book "How to make friends with foreigners" ?A．Because he wants to have some more close Chinese Friends.B．Because he has greatly improved his Chinese language skills,C．Because no Chinese people would like to make friends with him.D．Because he wants to know about the Chinese writer’s advice on this topic. 41．According to the writer of the book "How to make friends with foreigners" , ________. A．his advice may make foreigners angryB．it is rude of you to ask a foreigner questionsC．you should choose a good foreigner to practise English withD．don’t waste time on a foreigner who doesn’t answer your questions42．In the fourth paragraph, the writer uses "I have had…" three times, because ________. A．he had no better sentences to express his ideas.B．he wanted to show how he hated to make friends with Chinese.C．he wanted to show ho w he hated to be treated as an “opportunity”.D．he met Chinese who wanted to make friends with him only three times.43．Which sentence may be the best to fill in the "________" in the last paragraph? A．True friendships stand (经得起) the test of time.B．Learn about different cultures to make real friends.C．Friends are about opportunities or personal advantages.D．There’s real friendship between people from different countries.四、阅读回答问题The FA CupThe FA Cup is a very special football competition. It is the oldest football competition in the world as it has been played since 1871. It is also famous for the number of football teams in England that enter.More than 700 football teams take part in the competition every year. That is all of the teams from the four professional (职业的) leagues and hundreds of small non-professional clubs. These clubs come from small towns and villages from around England.Because there are so many teams, it lasts for a very long time. The early games are only between the small teams. After six matches, the professional teams from the third and fourth league enter and then, two games later, the biggest clubs from the Premier League.Often very small clubs will play against big teams. There have been many surprise results in the past many years. Teams from the fifth league have even won against teams from the Premier League, but a Premier League team does usually win the competition every year.
