Passage OnePioneers’ lives were different from the lives of many people today. Any neighbors they had usually lived many miles away. There were no football or basketball games. There were no teams to play these sports. There were no movies or TV. There were almost no books or newspapers to read.Sometimes they got together. Just being together was an adventure. Everything people did together, and even work was fun. It was an exciting treat to be with other families. So it was natural that the pioneers found some time to play when they got together to work. When a family had a big job to be done, neighbors would gather from great distances to help. They called this gathering a “bee”.The pioneers had many kinds of bees. In the spring they gathered to help each other plow the land and plant the fields. In the fall, when harvest time came, they helped each other again. Sometimes the women and girls gathered for quilting or sewing bees. While they sewed they visited. They told each other what had happened to them in the days they had been alone. When they finished, they had quilts and clothes to keep their families warm.A house-raising was one of the best gatherings. When a family needed a house or barn, everyone from miles around came to help. The men and boys worked hard all day to lay the logs. Then they put on the roof, covered the windows and made the door. Meanwhile the women cooked big meals for the hungry workers and the small children played.After the house was raised or the work was done, everyone was ready to have a good time. While they were eating supper, many tales and jokes were told. After supper they enjoyed contests, singing and dancing.1.Which of the following is not true with the pioneers ?( B )(a)They lived a long distance from each other.(b)They didn't have modern entertainment.(c)There were no books or newspapers.(d)There were no football or basketball games.2.For the pioneers to be together was an adventure because ________ .( D )(a)they didn't like living by themselves(b)they found being together would strengthen their friendship(c)something unusual might occur when they were together(d)it was an unusual event to be together3.According to the text, "bee" means ________.

When I looked up from the page, I came face to face with a bear looking in the window. It stood on its back legs, only a thin pane of glass between us. I grabbed the fire poker and ran up into the loft (阁楼), pulling the ladder up behind me.The bear must have been as frightened of me as I was of him because I heard him dash off the porch. I waited a while, went quickly back down to put out the lamp, then back up again. I kept the ladder upstairs all night and slept badly, thinking the bear would be back any minute.July 9The bear or bears were back last night. They didn’t get the little food I had left, but they did clamber about on the porch. I discovered claw marks on the wooden board that I had fixed over the window...July 12...I ran into a bear cub this afternoon. On my way to the car we just crossed each other’s path. I could have reached out and stroked him. In fact, this was my first reaction, he looked so friendly and cuddly (可以拥抱的). Fortunately, I knew better, one thing I learnt from a Disney film: never play with a bear cub because the mama is always nearby. She was. I saw her cross the creek and move up the hill as I ran to the car and shut the door behind me ...1.

A suitable title for the passage is : ______ ..(a) Encounters with Bears(b) Fun with Bears(c) Making Friends with Bears(d) Don't Be Afraid of BearsPassage ThreeChildhood was an illusion (幻觉) and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, I mean everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially journeys which seemed endless. “Are we there yet, Daddy?”Funfairs (儿童游乐集市) were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being an adult yourself was an unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain unbearable.As I’ve grown old, life has become smaller. Flavors (风味）have dulled. Surprises have turned into shocks. Days are boring. How can I recapture childhood when it was an illusion?I have only one precious way and even in this way I can regain only the echoes of that larger world. I can play upon the stage like a child, make the crowd laugh and laugh with them, sometimes helplessly like a child, and then, even though I’m a sixty-one-year-old, I can almost catch the colo rs and sounds and silliness of those bigger years when I was little.”11.

She uses an authentic text of Goldilocks with her class of seven-year-old who are in their second year at school, still learning to read in Italian, and have English three times a week. She doesn’t expect the children to learn these “advanced” tenses and sentence structures. But she does want to show them that they can make sense of them. She only asks them to really learn the vocabulary. This approach to giving children an experience of authentic English allows you to use almost any story if the children like it and if you approach it carefully.Children are used to living in a world in which they do not understand a lot of things. To a certain extent they take what we select for them, but they are also aware of all the other information around them. If we deprive children of every experience except those we want them to master, then we rob them of this natural growth.11.It can be learned from the passage that Armida Scarpa teaches English in_______________ . ( C )(a) a college(b) a high school(c)an elementary school(d) a kindergarten12. Scarpa thinks that stories in authentic English ______ . ( D )(a) can’t be used wi th students in their second year at school(b) can help children learn advanced tenses and sentence structures(c) must be used from the very beginning of English learning(d) can be used from the very beginning of English learning13. Scarpa’s approach to giving children an experience of authentic English allows the teacher to __________ . ( C )(a) use any story he or she likes.(b) use any story written in authentic English(c) use nearly all the stories that children like(d) use stories carefully14. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? ( C )(a) Children don’t feel uncomfortable living in a world in which they don’t understand a lot of things(b) Children often take what their teachers select for them though at the same time they are aware of other things around them.(c) Children are often robbed of a natural growth because of limited information.(d) Children should be given more chances to enrich their life experience15. A suitable title for the passage is ________. ( D )(a) Armida Scarpa as a Good Educator(b) Children Love Stories in Authentic English(c) Storytelling and Learning English for Children(d) A New Approach to Learning English for. .。

The question of whether our government shoul d promote science and technol ogy or the liberal arts in higher education is not an either/ or proposition(命题)，although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technol ogy, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.The latest congressional report acknowl edges the critical importance of technical training, but also stresses that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central elements of American’s educational system at all levels. Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative lead ers, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the refl ection on the great id eas of mankind over time provides.Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects(前景) as technol ogical advances and changes in d omestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. Und er this circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the probl em. “Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to empl oyment and success in the l ong run. Indeed, according to surveys, empl oyers have expressed a preference for stud ents who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily.Moreover, students shoul d be prepared not just for their first job, but for their fourth and fifth jobs, as there is littl e reason to d oubt that people entering the workforce today will be call ed upon to play many different rol es over the course of their careers. The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexibl e. The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight-picked up from science, arts, and technol ogy- to solve the problems of the future, and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the United States.8．What does the latest congressional report suggest?A．Higher education shoul d be adjusted to the practical needs of society.B．The liberal arts in higher education help enrich stud ents’ spiritual life.C．STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.D．The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.9．What does the author say about the so called soft subjects?A．They are essential to stud ents’ healthy growth.B．They improve stud ents’ communication skills.C．They broaden students range of interests.D．They benefit stud ents in their future life.10．What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?A．The academic value of the courses.B．Their interest in relevant subjects.C．Their chances of getting a good job.D．the quality of education to receive.11．What advice does the author give to college stud ents?A．Try to take a variety of practical courses.B．Prepare themselves for different job options.C．Ad opt a fl exible approach to solving problems.D．Seize opportunities to tap their potential.School Counseling（咨询）In our grandparents' time, it was unthinkable．In our parents' time, it was unusual and nobody spoke openly about counseling．These days, more and more schools are asking for this service and it is consid ered a necessity for most．Why is it? What has changed in the last fifty years to have mad e counseling at schools so important?“One reason is that we expect schools to d o more to protect their pupils than we did in the past," says school counselor, Mike Hudson．“ Also, our society d oesn't work as well as it should．Many parents are either und er pressure of work or face the economic problems of unempl oyment, whil e children are under more and more pressure to do well at school．Many pupils feel they are pushed to their limits by their parents and teachers．"Most school children face some kind of relationship problem at some stage with family members, teachers or other pupils, so．it helps to have somebody to talk to．From the pupil' s point of view, it is easier to talk to a counsel or in confidence rather than a family member or teacher．This solution is less embarrassing to pupils, who are not forced to face the person that they had problems with in the first place．They can calmly talkthings through without arguments．School counsel ors advise not only students but also their teachers and parents, and offer other services as well, such as deciding learning disabilities or assisting parents and guardians to make the correct decisions about their children' s education．Counsel ors can help stud ents with probl ems ranging from the most serious, like a death in the family, to what an adult would consider really trivial, like an argument with a friend．In a society that is becoming more and more stressful, this service is providing children with a supportive way to express their fear and worries．12．Why is school counseling becoming important?A．Pupils are not well protected in school．B．Parents can't help their children in learning．C．Parents and pupils are under too much pressure．D．The relationship between parents and schools is worse．13．According to the passage, school counselors________．A．bear high pressure themselvesB．are the guarantee of school successC．have more responsibilities than teachersD．are more likely to be accepted when pupils have problems14．The underlined word "trivial" in Para．5 probably means________．A．unimportant B．puzzlingC．difficult D．urgent15．What d oes the passage mainly talk about?A．The development of school counseling．B．The reaso ns for school counseling’s popularity．C．The advantages and disadvantages of school counseling．D．The comparison of the past and present school counseling．In America, when the eighth graders leave the mid dl e school, they are often worriedabout moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, stud ents need to get familiar with their school.Even though they’ve done this already in the mid dl e school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take stud ents to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grad e year. And, most schools also have a freshman (新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help stud ents and parents to find different places in the school.One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs all ow students from different grad es. By joining an activity, stud ents can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请). The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write d own some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.16．According to the text, most stud ents feel ________ when entering the high school. A．excited B．nervous C．lonely D．disappointed 17．Which of the foll owing is TRUE about the school clubs?A．There are fewer students from higher grades in the school clubs.B．The school clubs in high school only welcome sports fans.C．Summer activities begin before school starts.D．The school office can help new students join school clubs.18．When do many schools take students to visit their new high school?A．Before the eighth grade year starts.B．Right after the high school year starts.C．At the end of their eighth grad e year.D．At the beginning of the new term in the high school.19．What is the purpose of this text?A．To tell the new stud ents how to l earn in high school.B．To introduce new schools.C．To give the teachers some advice.D．To give advice to new high school students.You know Australia is a big country, but you may not know how easy it is to get around.

While Americans have been able to travel throughout EU member nations without a visa, the US still requires citizens of five EU countries—Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland and Romania—to apply for entry visas when visiting the US, Reuters reports. Citizens of the other 23 EU member nations can use the US visa waiver program to enter America. The EU lawmakers are calling for mutual treatment for all EU citizens, says Reuters. They've given the EU Commission two months to respond.The trans-Atlantic visa dispute first came to light in April 2014, according to an EU Parliament news rel ease. At that time, five countries—Australia, Brunei, Canada, Japan and the US—required visas for some EU citizens. Since then, Australia, Brunei and Japan have lifted their visa requirements for all EU citizens. Canada, which currently imposes visa requirements on Bulgarian and Romanian citizens, plans to foll ow suit in next December, leaving just the United States at odds with the issue of reciprocity of visa-free travel with the EU.The EU says if a visa requirement for Americans is introduced, it would be temporary, according to a story in Money, which did not give a time frame.27．Which of the foll owing can replace the und erlined word “reciprocal” in Paragraph 2? A．Cruel. B．Equal.C．Unfair. D．Different.28．Which countries have removed visa requirements for all EU citizens according to the text? A．Australia, Brunei and Japan.B．Australia, Brunei, Canada and Japan.C．Brunei, Canada, Japan and America.D．Australia, Brunei, Canada, Japan and America.29．What may be the best title for the text?A．Americans may soon need a visa for traveling to EuropeB．Americans are limiting the EU citizens to enter AmericaC．The EU citizens can go to America for traveling without visasD．The EU government asks for visa requirement from AmericansIn 2016, China released guidelines forbid ding weird(古怪的) construction, shifting their focus to the “economic, green and beautiful”. Now a new plan certainly fits the bill—Liuzhou Forest City, designed by the Italian firm Stefano Boeri Architetti, will be under construction in southern China.The 175-hectare, self-contained neighborhood will contain more than 70 buildings—including homes, hospitals, hotels, schools and offices—all of which will be covered with 40, 000 trees and almost a million plants.This is the first experiment of the urban environment that's really trying to find a balance with nature.The id ea behind the project is to combine as many plants with the architecture as possible. The plants are expected to absorb almost 10, 000 tons of carbon dioxid e and 57 tons of pollutants per year, and produce 900 tons of oxygen a year, while also decreasing the air temperature and providing a new habitat for displaced wildlife. Solar panels(控制板) on the roofs will collect renewable energy to power the buildings.The project comes on the heels of Stefano Boeri Architetti's Vertical Forest, tworesid ential towers in Milan covered in the equivalent(等同物) of five acres of forest.“We started to imagine if it was possibl e to create an urba n environment by planting many trees in the city, ”Boeri said. China, in his eyes, provided the perfect background for such an ambitious project.But the project's completion is a long way off.Construction is set to begin in 2020.Boeri said there is still a lot of planning and research required before a projected compl etion date can be set. He remains, however, optimistic about the project, and confident about its aim. “I really think that bringing forests into the city is a way to reduce climate change, ”h e said. 30．What can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?A．A ban will be stopped quickly.B．An Italian company will pay for the new plan.C．A new neighborhood will satisfy the guidelines.D．All strange buildings in China have been torn d own.31．What benefit will this project bring about?A．Purifying the air around. B．Controlling the climate of the area. C．Providing habitats for all the wildlife. D．Supplying solar energy to the world. 32．Which of the foll owing can replace the und erlined part in Paragraph 4?A．Looks like. B．Foll ows. C．Differs from. D．Equals. 33．What is the text mainly about?A．A future forest city. B．Liuzhou's devel opment.C．China's city-building policy. D．How to change a city's climate.Smartphones, tablets and smart watches are banned (禁止) at school for all children under 15 in France. Und er the ban students are not abl e to use their phones at all during school hours, including meal breaks.“I think it’s a good thing. School is not about being on your phone,” Paris mumMarie-Caro line Madel eine tol d AFP. “It’s hard with kids. You can’t control what they see and that’s one of the things that worry me as a parent.”There is no law like this in Australia, but some Australian schools have banned phones.McKinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in February and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success.McKinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for day-to-day l earning but they’re not all owed to use social media. Ms Binnion said at first“teachers cheered and students moaned (抱怨) ,” but now they’re seeing the advantages. “They come to school and they’re not all owed to use phones at all during the school day, including lunch breaks,” she said.“It’s been wond erful in terms of students comm unicating with each other at lunchtime and not looking at their screen,” she said.Ms Binnion also leads by exampl e and doesn’t use her mobile phone in school. “I think anyone can do it if we’ve done it.”Not everyone agrees with the bans. Western Sydney University technology researcher Dr Joanne Orland o wrote in online magazine The Conversation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in schools because it’s important to educate kids to live in the age they are raised in.“A good education fo r students today is knowing how to use technol ogy to learn, communicate and work with ideas,” she wrote. “Banning students from using smartphones is a 1950s response to a 2018 state-of-play.”34．Why did Madeleine welcome the ban?A．School is for studying. B．Kids behave badly nowadays. C．Teachers find it hard to control kids. D．Her kids depend too much on phones. 35．What can we learn about the ban in McKinnon Secondary School?A．Some teachers were against it at first.B．Students can now see the good of the ban.C．Students can use their phones at lunch beaks.D．Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well.36．What d oes the underlined word “Chromebook” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A．A book. B．A notebook.C．A learning website. D．A kind of computer.37．What d oes Dr Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in schools?A．It will disconnect parents and kids. B．It will cause kids to communicate less. C．It will prevent kids being tech-minded. D．It will make education go back 60 years.On the day the tornad o(龙卷风) hit, there was no sign fierce weather was on its way— the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first warning my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-fl oor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the national television to our local Pensacola, Fl orida, station.Soon the tornad o was on top of us. It was the l oudest thing I have ever heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. And the wind began to roar(咆哮) through the house, most likely through bl own-out wind ows and the door to our garage. Everything was moving. And the back wall of the house came off and fl ew into the darkness outsid e. We had three flights of steps to get to the storeroom d own there, the relative safety of the first floor.I didn’t know how or if we woul d make it d own the steps. It felt as if there were no fl oor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. As we finally reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Sudd enly, a three-foot-long tree branch flew over our heads, missing us by inches.By the time I reached the storeroom, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me d own to the storeroom floor, but he couldn’t g et inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy’s arm as the tornad o blew the d oor open. My knees were full of glass, but I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have fl own right out the back of the house.All of a sud den, Jimmy lifted off his feet. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over. Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely d estroyed. Amazingly, none of us were seriously injured. 38．Where did the couple l earn about the coming fierce weather?A．From the dark sky. B．From the national station.C．From the l ocal news report. D．From the text sent by their neighbors. 39．What can we infer from paragraph 2 about the couple?A．They were hit by a tree branch. B．They tried to get out of the house.

Because of the GI Bills that had enabled many veterans from the Second World War to be enrolled at colleges, there was a huge increase in the number of middle-class families. Apart from the sharp increase of the income of these families, a suburban middle-class culture was also formed, in which the wives were supposed to hold the roles of the mother, the housekeeper, the entertainer of neighbors and friends, and the manager of a façade of a happy family to impress other people.

Directions: Read the following passages, and then fill in the blanks with the missing information.Passage 3Imagine a classrom missing the one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing: paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. And there are no pencils or pens, which, after all, always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.A “paperless classroom”is what more and more schools are trying to achieve. Students don‟t do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm-sized (手掌大小的，掌上的), or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads（下载）texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student‟s personal computer.Having computers also means that students can search the Web. They can look up information on any subject they‟re studying, from math to social science.And exams can go oneline, too. At a school in Tennessee, U.S.A., students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them into his or her own electronic grade book.A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste fo paper. The school teacher, Stephanie Sorrell in Kentuky, U.S.A., said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to the students. “Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,” she said.But, with all this technology, there‟s always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problem, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.(Words: 244)1. Students use ___________________ instead of doing any handwriting in a paperless classroom.2. Texts for a paperless classroom are from ____________________________________ .3. When an exam goes online, the teacher will easily ____________________________ .4. The last but one paragraph mainly tells us that ___________________ can be saved by the use of computers.5.

Harry was very stingy （吝啬的）. Wally said to him, “When are you going to buy a clock?”“Never,” Harry said. “I don‟t need a clock.”“Everyone needs a clock,” Wally said. “How do you know when to get up?”“The man who lives on the other side of me turn on his radio at seven o‟clock,” Harry said. “I hear the announcer say, …The time is seven o‟clock. Here is the news.”“OK. But how do you know when to go to work?”“By the time I get out of bed, wash, and shave (剃胡子), it‟s half past seven,” Harry said. “By the time I‟ve eaten my breakfast, it‟s eight o‟clock, time to leave for the office. By the time I get to the bus stop, it‟s ten past eight. The bus arrives in a few minutes and by the time it gets to my stop, the time is half past eight. That‟s the time I start work.”“OK. But how do you know when it‟s time to go home?” Wally said.“The factory siren（号笛，警报器）rings.”“How do you know when it‟s time to go to bed?”“The television programs come to an end.”“OK,” Wally shouted, really angry. “Now tell me what would happen if you woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to know the time?”“That‟s easy,” Harry said. “I‟ve got a hammer.”“A hammer! What good is a hammer?”“I use it to knock on your wall. Y ou‟d shout at me. …What are you doing knoking on my wall at three o‟clock in the morning?”(Words: 279)1.
