When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants. “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon（三项全能）.On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all t he equipment she’d need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kidsto finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on, sweet baby.4.Kelly is nervous when ________.A. boys are around herB. she changes into a leaderC. she is away from her momD. situations are new to her5.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that______.A. the race began in the early morningB.

What kind of person do you think Kelly is?A. Timid and determinedB. Cute and confidentC. Fearful and energeticD. Sociable and braveCStanding in the shower waiting for the water to het up could be a thing of the past, along with all the wasted water. Three and a half years ago, Lindy Honeychurch, a thirty-year-old Australian full-time mum living on a farm outside Launceston, didn’t consider herself a very good water saver. Neither did her partner who often complained about it with good reasons. Their farm had to rely on tank water and solar power, which meant water had to be trucked in if he tank water ran out in summer.“I looked at where I could save because I could lead an easier life without the complaint,” she said. Modeling her idea on a car thermostat(恒温器), Lindy used her kids’ magnetic(磁的)drawing board to design a device that diverts the cold water back down the hot water pipe. “The first aim when I started designing was to keep it really small and simple without having to use power. I wanted to keep it as something that everyone could use,” said Lindy.She got a patent for her design and took it to some engineers to have it tested out. At first, even though the engineers were amazed that she wasn’t an engineer, she said she so metimes found it hard to be taken seriously. “My age was a real factor because in the plumbing(管路系统)and manufacturing industries you’re dealing with people who’ve got a lot of experiences,” she said. But the engineers soon saw the potential of hr design, which she estimated would save average families between 14,000 to 22,000 liters per year.” when you transfer that to the dollar savings on tank water that you have to buy, it can be a saving of $600 per year,” said Lindy.Armed with positive feedback from engineers and people using rainwater tanks, her design proved a great success. Soon she found a manufacturer early this year, and completed a state government commercial ready course to help her research, her markets and distribution channels. With an Australian Standard for her device just approved, she’s about to start manufacturing and wishes to see her products on the shelves within the next few months. Once that happens, Lindy plans to return to being a full-time mum.8. What does the second paragraph mainly about?A. Lindy’s unhappy familyB. Lindy’s comfortable farm lifeC. The funct ion of Lindy’s inventionD. The background to Lindy’s invention9. What drove Lindy to invent a water-saving device?A. Her dull life as a housewifeB. The difficulty in getting water on her farmC. Her husband’s requestD. The need of increasing agricultural water10. What happened when Lindy first took her design to some engineers?A. They did not pay much attention to itB. they believed it was a great inventionC. They helped her test it out immediatelyD. They laughed at her because it was no use at all11. What can we know from the text?A. Lindy didn’t enjoy being a full-time housewife but liked being a working mumB. Lindy’s products have been widely welcomed in the markets at home and abroadC. Lindy’s design was liked by engineers and peop le using rainwater tanksD. Lindy had a lot of experience in the plumbing and manufacturing industriesDAs we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebecca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot’s Middle march at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then.A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewardsmake it adequately worthwhile.12. Why are the two books mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To attract the attention of readers.B. To introduce the topic of the passage.C. To provide some background information.D. To show the similarity between re-readers.13. What does the underlined expression “crack their spines” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Recite them.B. Retell them.C. Recall them.D. Re-read them.14. What can be learned from the passage?A. Reading benefits people both mentally and physically.B. Readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading.C. We know ourselves better through re-reading experience.D. Writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do.15. What is the writer’s purpose of the passage?A. To bring awareness to the significance of rereading.B. To focus on the mental health benefits of reading.C. To call on different understandings of old books.D. To introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AResearch has shown that 85 percent of communication is nonverbal, so choosing what to wear to an interview is clearly an important part of your overall presentation. It won’t make up for weak answers, but it can communicate some positive things about your personality and what you might be like to work with.Blue:You can’t go wrong with darker shades of blue, especially navy. Choosing from this powerful color will project an image of someone who is in control. From the interviewer’s point of view, the color blue suggests calm, stability, trust, truth, confidence and security. These are all great messages to send without saying a word.Gray:After blue, gray is the second most popular color to wear for an interview. Like darker blue, it’s not a dis tracting color to the interviewer, which means they’ll be focused more on what you’re saying and how you’re saying it. Gray means sophistication(老成), so use it to your advantage.Black: This is a commanding color and represents authority. Black also suggests excitement, so use it carefully when putting together your interview outfit. You may want to use it as an accent(着重色) —like in a scarf or tie, for instance—rather than as the primary color.Red: This is an extremely powerful color. It’s so strong that you should only use it as an accent color. Reds are associated with energy, passion, desire, power and aggression. People think of intensity(紧张) andpassion when they see the color red, so use it carefully or it could send the wrong message to the interviewer.White: White shirts and blouses are always appropriate. It sends the message of simplicity, cleanliness, precision(精细) and goodness.1. Why is it important to choose what to wear to an interview?A. Because it will make up for your weak answers.B. Because it suggests something about your personality.C. Because it will make you feel better.D. Because the interviewer judges a person by his appearance.2. Based on the passage, which of the following are the messages from “Blue”?①stability ②energy ③power ④confidence ⑤securityA. ①②③B. ②③④C.①④⑤D. ②③⑤3. If you want to leave an impression of being simple and clean, you should be in _____.A. grayB. redC. blackD. white4. From the passage we can infer that _______.A. job interviewees should think twice before wearing red clothes.B. the colors can send all the messages you want to convey.C. you can wear white clothes if you want to appear active.D. gray is the most popular color to wear for an interview.BCan exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many decades later? Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain,in rats at least."This is an animal study, but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important一not just for physical development,but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive（认知的）development during ageing,"says Martin Wojtowicz of the University of Toronto,Canada."In humans,it may delay the appearance of Alzheimer's symptoms（阿兹海默氏症）,possibly to the point of preventing them."Wojtowicz's team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups,and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks.Around four months later—when the rats had reached middleage—the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box.When placed in the box,they froze with fear.Two weeks later,the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room,the same box with the room arranged differently,and a completely different box in a different room.The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations,suggesting they couldn't remember which one was dangerous.But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.“The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we're young,at least for rats,has influence on brain and cognitive health—in the form of better memories—when we're older,"says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston,who has found that,in humans,exercise promotes the growth of new brain cells.5.The study shows that______.A.physical activity is important for physical healthing the running wheels is of benefit to the rats' growthC.physical activity can prevent human's Alzheimer's symptomsD.the more exercise a rat has when young,the better memory it will possess when older6.How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes.B.By giving an example.C.By describing the process.D.By showing differences.7.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Exercise.B.Development.C.Benefit.D.Study.8.What is the author's attitude towards the animal study?A.Negative.B.Objective.C.Critical.D.Doubtful.CThe “Boomerang Kids” — young adults who leave to go to college, get married or just show off their independence —are moving back in with mom and dad. Boomerang Kids can be a mixed blessing for parents, both emotionally and financially.Especially during hard economic times, adult children head for home. According to a survey, about 40percent of 2017 graduates still live with their parents. Moreover, 42 percent of the 2015 graduates surveyed said they are still living at home.The reasons are many, the first being economics. While the recession has touched Americans of all ages, it has been very hard for young adults. This has sent many kids back home. Plus, there is the matter of debt, especially college loans. For many recent graduates, it makes smart economic sense to move back in with their parents where life is comfortable and rent is either low or nonexistent. Then, of course, some return for personal reasons, such as recovering from a divorce or an illness.Parents are often glad to help out, both emotionally and financially. As a result, the arrangement often works to everyone’s satisfaction. However, there a re risks, especially for the parents. These include not only family tension and misunderstandings, but also money. The return to the family can become a financial burden that can affect the parents’ plans and their financial future, especially their retire ment, as they try to do too much for their children.9. Boomerang Kids are those who .A. like to show off their independenceB. have problem with their marriageC. graduate from college in advanceD. return to live with parents after graduation10. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 mean something that .A. has advantages and disadvantagesB. is very useful and beneficialC. will have a good resultD. worries people a lot11. What can we learn from the passage?A. It is a tough choice for young adults to move back home.B. Parents may have to deal with extra financial burden.C. Children face fewer financial problems than ever.D. Most graduates choose to live with their parents.DElephants scored a big win in Dohar, Qatar, on March 22. People from 175 countries met in the Middle Eastern country. They voted to continue a ban on the sale of ivory(象牙). Two African nations, Tanzania and Zambia, had asked to open up the ivory trade.People feared that weakening a 21-year-old ban on the sale of ivory would encourage illegal hunting and hurt elephant populations. African elephants once numbered in the millions. Today, there are fewer than 500,000.“People born in 100 years should be able to see an elephant,” said Noah Wekesa, Kenya’s minis ter of forest and wildlife. His country voted to keep the ban.In the 1980s, as many as 1 million elephants were killed throughout Africa. Hunters killed the animals for their ivory tusks, which were used to make jewelry and other things. “The slaughter of elephants in Africa was terrible,” says Paul Todd of the International Fund for Animal Welfare. The group works to protect animals.The ivory wars continued until 1989, when the United Nations voted to ban all trade in ivory. With trade controlled, demand for ivory fell. Governments punished hunters. Elephant populations began slowly to increase.Tanzania and Zambia asked to allow ivory sales from government stockpiles(库存). Ivory is so expensive that it’s known as “white gold”. Tanzania holds a lmost 200,000 pounds of ivory, which is worth as much as ＄20 million. Zambia has 48,000 pounds of the white gold. The countries said they need the money the ivory would bring. They say it was taken from hunters or came from animals that died naturally.Experts believe that trading ivory encourages illegal hunting. They felt happy about the decision which forbids the sales. “This is a rare victory for elephants,” said Jason Bell. He works to protect animals.12. Tanzania and Zambia asked to open up the ivory trade to____________.A. sell elephantsB. sell jewelry made from ivoryC. sell their stocked ivoryD. continue hunting for ivory13.The underlined word “slaughter” in paragraph 4 most probably means___________.A. protectingB. killingC. increasingD. searching14. Ivory is known as “white gold” because___________.A. it is as rare as white goldB. it has the same value as white goldC. it looks like white goldD. it is as valuable as gold15. The text is mainly about____________.A. protecting endangered animals around the worldB. the effects of the ivory wars of the 1980sC. the life of elephants in the wildD. continuing a ban on the ivory sale to protect elephants第二节七选五（每空2分，共10分）Summer is the perfect time to relax. As you plan for your trip, here are some tips on how to protect yourself. 16 .Fight against the mosquitoes in the hot spots.There are many mosquito-borne illnesses in tropical regions,which are traditionally vacation hot spots. Therefore,mosquito repellent（驱蚊剂）that contains DEET should be an essential item in your travel bag.17 .In lesser-developed countries there is less equipment for clean water and public health.If you can't avoid unhealthful water,make sure you bring along a tea or coffee—making pot that will boil water for you.You'd better buy a case or two of water and check that all bottle caps are sealed to assure the bottled water isn't just a refilled bottle of dirty tap water.Always protect your feet.It's best to wear slippers in the shower,but if you must be barefoot,put a towel down on the floor.18 .You should never walk barefoot in any area of a foreign country,including your hotel room.Be sure to eat safe fruits.19 .They may have been washed in the same water,or wiped with the same rag used to clean work surfaces in kitchens.The best advice is to bring your own peeler（削皮器）so that you know that something clean has been applied to the fruit.Enjoy the smell of roadside stands,not the food.Unless the food is piping hot when served,it's best to stay away from roadside stands,no matter how good the smell of the food might be.If you are concerned about whether a restaurant is clean,order the food to go. 20 .A.Don't trust the local waterB.Any fruit served fresh may be pollutedC.Look out for any water not served in a bottleD.The boxes may be cleaner than the plate or fork on the tableE.You should know how to keep yourself away from dirty fruitsF.They are necessary to avoid coming back with a major illness from your tripG.Parasites（寄生虫）can enter the skin of your feet and travel to different parts of the body第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节）满分45分第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1．5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从各题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magaine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Teas. He also wored as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious bac disease.She couldn’t afford the operation because her family was poor.Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Teas. She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript （手稿）. On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded lie O. Henry, and he new that O. Henry had once lived in Houston.So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident.My father visited an O. Henry epert at Columbia University in New Yor, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father too the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about.

Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics (策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods. For eample, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They now that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more jun food later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally net to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section while the shop assistant is going bac to find the right sie shoe, bored customers are liely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses see to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baed goods encourages shopping, so they mae their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics.They find that customers mae decisions in the first few seconds upon waling in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.9. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A. To save customers times.B.

Others, lie snowshoe hares(雪鞋野兔), are put at center stage in predators’(捕食者) view when they lac snow for disguising their white fur — not a good thing for them, of course.Blac bears, on the other hand, have been eeping busy gathering nuts and apples, when they would normally have settled into their winter homes by now. Vermont and Massachusetts officials have ased residents to wait till snow falls to tae out their bird feeders for the sae of their safety, the article said."We suggest waiting for 6 or more inches of snow that lasts before taing out your bird feeders, especially if you have been visited in the past by bears or if there are sightings of bears in your neighborhood," Forrest Hammond, Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s bear biolog ist, said in the article. "Due to lac of snow and froen ground, birds are able to see food in fields and forests for their natural foods."Snow amounts can also determine how comfortable bears are and how quicly they consume their accumulated fat during hibernation(冬眠), noted Hammond in the article. This is because snow covers and traps them in their winter homes, and also hides them from predators. 13．What may upset snowshoe hares because of El Niño?A. Their being caught more easily.B. Their failing to gather more food.C. Their consuming more energy.D. Their losing sight of their enemies.14．Why did the officials as people to eep bird feeders until snow falls?A.

He also wored as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious bac disease.She couldn’t afford the operation because her family was poor.Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Teas. She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript （手稿）. On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded lie O. Henry, and he new that O. Henry had once lived in Houston.So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident.My father visited an O. Henry epert at Columbia University in New Yor, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father too the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about.

In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally net to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section while the shop assistant is going bac to find the right sie shoe, bored customers are liely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses see to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baed goods encourages shopping, so they mae their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics.They find that customers mae decisions in the first few seconds upon waling in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level.

Others, lie snowshoe hares(雪鞋野兔), are put at center stage in predators’(捕食者) view when they lac snow for disguising their white fur — not a good thing for them, of course.Blac bears, on the other hand, have been eeping busy gathering nuts and apples, when they would normally have settled into their winter homes by now. Vermont and Massachusetts officials have ased residents to wait till snow falls to tae out their bird feeders for the sae of their safety, the article said."We suggest waiting for 6 or more inches of snow that lasts before taing out your bird feeders, especially if you have been visited in the past by bears or if there are sightings of bears in your neighborhood," Forrest Hammond, Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s bear biolog ist, said in the article. "Due to lac of snow and froen ground, birds are able to see food in fields and forests for their natural foods."Snow amounts can also determine how comfortable bears are and how quicly they consume their accumulated fat during hibernation(冬眠), noted Hammond in the article. This is because snow covers and traps them in their winter homes, and also hides them from predators. 13．What may upset snowshoe hares because of El Niño?A. Their being caught more easily.B. Their failing to gather more food.C. Their consuming more energy.D. Their losing sight of their enemies.14．Why did the officials as people to eep bird feeders until snow falls?A. They may disturb bears.B. There’s no need to do so.C. To avoid attracting bears.D. For the safety of bears.15．Which of the following is the proper title for the passage?A.

D．Latin American Festival.BProfessional athletes pay a high price for their pursuit of excellence and glory. Training to the limit tears muscles and wears out joints. Gymnasts often need hip replacements when barely into middle age. Few footballers make it to the end of their careers with their knees intact.But many also run a darker risk: doping —the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs by athletic competitors. The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, in South Korea, starts this week in its shadow. Years after whistle-blowers first revealed wholesale (大规模的) doping in Russia, theInternational Olympic Committee (IOC) at last decided to bar it from taking part. But it has allowed many Russians to compete as individuals. And on the eve of the competition the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said that 28 others should receive a more tolerant penalty from the IOC, further muffling the anti-doping message.Russia’s doping is unusual only in its scale and institutional nature. No country or sport is immune. Studies, and an anonymous survey at the World Athletics Championships in 2011, suggest that a third of athletes preparing for big international competitions take banned substances. Yet just 1-2% fail a test each year. Lance Armstrong, a cyclist who won the Tour de France seven times and later admitted to doping all the while, was tested on 250 occasions. The few times he failed, he avoided punishments by claiming he had taken anti-inflammatories (消炎药) for saddle-sores (骑行引起的肌肉酸痛).Doping is more sophisticated than when some states used steroids (类固醇) to bulk up athletes. New drugs are designed to be undetectable in a blood or urine sample. Many athlet es “blood dope,” receiving transfusions or taking a drug that stimulates the production of red blood cells to improve their physical strength. Soviet athletes who were fed steroids suffered a host of serious problems in later life. They were more likely to commit suicide, or to miscarry (流产) or have a disabled child. No one knows what risks those taking new “designer” versions are running. Blood-doping can cause heart attacks; more than a dozen cyclists’ deaths have already been linked to it.The agencies that set out to stop doping are hugely outclassed. As the argument over punishments on Russia illustrate, they are divided and weak. Most testing is done by national bodies, which may not try very hard to find evidence that would get their own stars banned. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which oversees them, is packed with officials from national sports federations and the IOC. Their interests are likewise conflicted. Its budget is tiny. The system seems to be designed to look tough but punish only the occasional scapegoat (替罪羊). Honest athletes deserve better.4. The word “muffling” (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “.”A. deafeningB. conveyingC. spreadingD. weakening5. Why did the author cite an instance of Lance Armstrong?A. To illustrate he is a model of Russian athlete.B. To show cycling is very popular in France.C. To indicate doping exists everywhere.D. To suggest doping is an exception for American athletes.6. Which of the following is NOT a side-effect of steroids?A. Giving birth to an unhealthy child.B. Suicidal tendencies.C. Stimulates the production of red blood cells.D. Unintentionally having a pregnancy end early.7. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The CAS should put more severe penalties on Russian athletes.B. The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang have not been successful due to doping scandals.C. Doping is quite common among athletes in France and Russia.D. WADA does a good job monitoring doping in the Olympics.CThe regular world presented to us by our five senses—you could call it reality 1.0—is not always the most user-friendly of places. We get lost in unfamiliar cities; we meet people whose language we don’t understand. So why not try the imp roved version: augmented reality (AR) or reality 2.0? AR technology adds computer-produced images (图像) on the real world via a mobile phone camera or special video glasses.Early forms of AR are already here. With the right downloads, smart phones can deliver information about nearby ATMs and restaurants and other points of interest. But that’s just the beginning. A few years from now the quantity of information available will have increased hugely. You will not only see that there’s a Chinese restaurant on the next block, but you will be able to see the menu and read reviews of it.This is where the next revolution in computing will take place: in the interface (界面) between the real world and the information brought to us via the Internet. Imagine bubbles floating before your eyes, filled with cool information about anything and everything that you see in front of you.Let’s jump ahead to ten years from now. A person trying to fix their car won’t be reading a book with pictures; they will be wearing a device that projects animated3-D computer graphics onto the equipment under repair, labelling parts and giving step-by-step guidance.The window onto the AR world can be a smart phone or special video glasses. But in ten years’ time these will have been replaced by contact lenses (隐形眼镜) with tiny LEDs, which present something at a readable distance in front of the eye. So a deaf person wearing these lenses will be able to see what people are saying.The question is, while we are all absorbed in our new augmented reality worlds, how will we be communicating with each other?8. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The next information technology revolution.B. Early forms of augmented reality technology.C. The differences between reality 1.0 and reality 2.0.D. The relationship between people living in reality 2.0.9. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?A. The menu.B. The block.C. Therevolution. D. The restaurant.10. What are tiny LEDs used to do?A. Protect people’s eyes.B. Show text and images.C. Warn users of dangers.D. Replace video glasses.11. What’s the author’s attitude towards AR technology?A. Doubtful.B. Disapproving.C.Favourable. D. Ambiguous.DYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain a nd suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others. Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know thereare individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet th ey don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth. Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others---and eventhemselves---to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives. In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life. In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.12. According to Paragraph 2, creators __________.A. seem willing to experience failures in life.B. possess the ability to predict future lifeC. handle ups and downs of life wiselyD. have potential to create something new13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life.B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.C. Victims can influence more people than creators.D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.14. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _______________.A. strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims.B. people need family support to deal with challengers in life.C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains.D. one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life.15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To define victims and creators.B. To evaluate victims against creators.C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

（每小题2分，共30分）AExercise is an important part of keeping a healthy lifestyle. Fitness tools and tips can help individuals develop an exercise plan that is not only safe but helps them to work toward a certain goal such as weight loss or running a marathon. Consult Your DoctorBefore beginning the weight loss or exercise program, it is best to consult(咨询) your doctor to make sure that you are in proper health and that there are no possible conditions that could get worse by exercise. Ask your doctor to recommend exercises based on your fitness level that will help you achieve your goals.Set Goals and LimitsWhen beginning a fitness program, it is important to start off slow and work toward a more advanced goal. Begin with short10-to 20-minute exercise each day to prepare your body for more active exercises and to prevent injury.Drink Plenty of WaterDuring exercise, the body loses liquid from sweating, therefore, it is important to drink lots of water before, during and after exercising. Experts recommend drinking water or sports drinks every 15 to 20 minutes during exercise and more often during more active exercises. Continue to drink water several hours after exercising to refill liquids in the body. Exercise EquipmentExercise equipment such as treadmills(跑步机),exercise bikes and weights is a great way to stay fit when on a busy schedule or on rainy days. Before using exercise equipment at home or in the gym, educate yourself on the proper use of each piece to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the equipment. Tracking ToolsUse tools such as pedometers(计步器) or heart rate monitors can help record calories, steps and heart rate.

He didn't go to school and couldn't read, although he learned all about the forests, streams and hunting. He could move silently like an Indian leaving no marks. He loved to live alone in the woods where nothing frightened him.When he grew up, he married and tried to settle down on a farm. A year later, however, he wasn't satisfied and decided to go into the unknown western lands, crossing the Appalachian Mountains. When he returned after two years, he became famous for his long journey. Hebrought valuable animal skins and told stories about the Indians.After this, he chose to keep travelling to unknown places. Once he lost to the Indians in battle and was taken away. The Indians liked him and became his friends. Daniel Boone died at the age of 86. He is remembered as an explorer(探险者)and a pioneer who lived an exciting life in the early years of American nation.4.Daniel Boone's early life was mainly spent in ______ .A.learning about natureB.hunting with his friendsC.learning useful skills from the IndiansD.studying at home because he couldn't go to school5. When he got married, Daniel Boone first planned to ______.A. set up a large farmB.go on a journey with his wifeC. find food, new land for his farmD.live a peaceful life with his family6. Daniel Boone became famous because ______ .A.he travelled a lot in the western landsB.he was very good at telling storiesC.he found better animal skins than othersD.he was the first to climb the Appalachian Mountains7. In this article, Daniel Boone is best described as ______ .A. warm-heartedB.strongC.carefulD.braveCI love to read before I go to sleep. It usually makes me feel calm. Buta big part of this depends on what I read. I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons. Very often I’m smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress. Before we go to sleep, we may run over the day in our minds, and worry about tomorrow. We also may watch the news on TV, the news on our smart phones or tablets, or even answer work emails. But the news is rarely proclaiming (宣告) all the things that are happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we’re still at work. All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night. I sometimes read novels but, with the odd exception, I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it’s something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating, when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes. Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure that I get a peaceful sleep. Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.I’d suggest you find light-hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime,especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time,or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day. It is the thingthat can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh, then you may feel even better. Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain. It strengthens the immune system, it’s good for the heart, and it is m ost definitely good for mental health. It even helps us improve our relationships. And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons, I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.8.What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?A.They make people run over the past days.B.They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C.They are extremely popular with young people.D.They make people feel relaxed and happy.9.What can we know from the text?A.Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author’s favorite books.B.A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C.The author sometimes reads something about inspiration.D.Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.10.What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?A.What material brings us laughter.B.How laughter affects our health.C.What benefits laughter brings to us.D.Why laughter is good for us.11.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B.To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C.To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D.To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.DPollution’s serious effects on the environment have become mo re obvious in recent years. Most scientists agree that efforts are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.As we know, the construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution. So green buildings are in great need.The environmental benefits of green buildings include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity (生物多样性),improved air and water quality, less waste flowing into streams and the protection of natural resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality, improving the health of people who live there.The process of building green houses includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind. Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewablebuilding materials such as bamboo and straw. In addition, recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings, reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.Careful site selection is important to minimize (使减少到最低限度) human effects on the surrounding environment. For example, placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes (微风) and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses. More energy and expenses are needed for larger buildings as well, so it is important to build the small ones.Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and costs. These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants, which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low, prevent water running off and deal with pollutants. Other features of green buildings often include energy and water protection, recycling and waste reduction. In addition, renewable energy sources such as solar power, water power and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the influence on the environment.12.What can we know about green buildings?A.Producing no waste.B.Only using clean energy.C.Being made of new materials.D.Being environment-friendly.13. What is a green building probably like according to the fifth paragraph?A. Large.B. Small.C. Green.D. Low.14. What is the purpose of using green roofs?A.To fit the environment.B.To keep warm.C.To collect nature water.D.To reduce costs.15. What is the text mainly about?A. Promoting energy efficiency.B. Environmental benefits.C. Green buildings.D. Ecosystems and biodiversity.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）How to avoid a boring conversationWhat excuses should you use to avoid talking to people you don’t want to talk to?

But this has been year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bie without training wheels. And this year she completed her first ids’ triathlon（三项全能）.On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dar of the morning for elly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitionsfrom swim to bie to run with her, we got all t he equipment she’d need, and we ept taling about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older ids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to eep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bie ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she dida sport or anything lie that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.All day I would find myself just looing over at her and smiling.

What ind of person do you thin elly is?A. Timid and determinedB. Cute and confidentC. Fearful and energeticD. Sociable and braveCStanding in the shower waiting for the water to het up could be a thing of the past, along with all the wasted water. Three and a half years ago, Lindy Honeychurch, a thirty-year-old Australian full-time mum living on a farm outside Launceston, didn’t consider herself a very good water saver. Neither didher partner who often complained about it with good reasons. Their farm had to rely on tan water and solar power, which meant water had to be truced in if he tan water ran out in summer.“I looed at where I could save because I could lead an easier life without the complaint,” she said. Modeling her idea on a car thermostat(恒温器), Lindy used her ids’ magnetic(磁的)drawing board to design a device that diverts the cold water bac down the hot water pipe. “The first aim when I started designing was to eep it really small and simple without having to use power. I wanted to eep it as something that everyone could use,” said Lindy.She got a patent for her design and too it to some engineers to have it tested out. At first, even though the engineers were amaed that she wasn’t an engineer, she said she sometimes found it hard t o be taen seriously. “My age was a real factor because in the plumbing(管路系统)and manufacturing industries you’re dealing with people who’ve got a lot of eperiences,” she said. But the engineers soon saw the potential of hr design, which she estimated would save average families between 14,000 to 22,000 liters per year.” when you transfer that to the dollar savings on tan water that you have to buy, it can be a saving of $600 per year,” said Lindy.Armed with positive feedbac from engineers and people using rainwater tans, her design proved a great success. Soon she found a manufacturer early this year, and completed a state government commercial ready course to help her research, her marets and distribution channels. With an Australian Standard for her device just approved, she’s about to start manufacturing and wishes to see her products on the shelves within the net few months. Once that happens, Lindy plans to return to being a full-time mum.8. What does the second paragraph mainly about?A. Lindy’s unhappy familyB. Lindy’s comfortable farm lifeC. The function of Lindy’s inventionD. The bacground to Lindy’s invention9. What drove Lindy to invent a water-saving device?A. Her dull life as a housewifeB. The difficulty in getting water on her farmC. Her husband’s requestD. The need of increasing agricultural water10. What happened when Lindy first too her design to some engineers?A. They did not pay much attention to itB. they believed it was a great inventionC. They helped her test it out immediatelyD. They laughed at her because it was no use at all11. What can we now from the tet?A. Lindy didn’t enjoy being a full-time housewife but lied being a woring mumB. Lindy’s products have been widely welcomed in the marets at home an d abroadC. Lindy’s design was lied by engineers and people using rainwater tansD. Lindy had a lot of eperience in the plumbing and manufacturing industriesDAs we grow old, we realie that we have so little time to read and there are so many great boos that we’ve yet to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebecca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New Yor, first came across George Eliot’s Middle march at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good boos not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crac their spines. These inds of boos grow with us.Scientists have also recognied the mental health benefits of re-reading. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University eplained, returning to a boo “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great boo and its readers.”It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old boos (if we’re fond of maing notes on the pages). These tets can carry us bac to a time and place, and remind us of the ind of person that we were then.A boo is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the boo.Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t thin of listenin g to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A boo, of course, taes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards mae it adequately worthwhile.12. Why are the two boos mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To attract the attention of readers.B. To introduce the topic of the passage.C. To provide some bacground information.D. To show the similarity between re-readers.13. What does the underlined epression “crac their spines” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Recite them.B. Retell them.C. Recall them.D. Re-read them.14. What can be learned from the passage?A. Reading benefits people both mentally and physically.B. Readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading.C. We now ourselves better through re-reading eperience.D. Writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do.15. What is the writer’s purpose of the passage?A. To bring awareness to the significance of rereading.B. To focus on the mental health benefits of reading.C. To call on different understandings of old boos.D. To introduce the effective ways of re-reading old boos.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
