Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Solar energy for your home is coming. It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor. The type of home you have is another. Things like insulation present energy costs, and the type of system you buy are added factors.Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. And when Mother Nature says that’s all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun.We won’t have to worry about the suns running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides as an endless source of energy, the use of the sun has other advantages as well. The sun doesn’t offer as many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel plants add to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we won’t need as mu ch. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.With all these good points, why don’t we use more solar power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy. All that is changing now. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts say that gas, oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed. Solar energy is now in its infancy. It could soon grow to becomea major part of our nations energy supply.41. Which statement best expresses the main idea?[A] Something about Solar Energy and Pollution.[B] Solar Energy.[C] Energy and Pollution.[D] Energy and Money.42. Solar energy can help us save __________.[A] the earth and natural resources [B] mother nature[C] the sun [D] our precious fuel43. The sun is an endless source of energy, it will not run out of it for __________.[A] several million years [B] several hundred years[C] several billion years [D] several thousand years44. Which of the following statements is correct?[A] Energy from coal would not pollute our living environment.[B] Energy from natural gas would not pollute our living environment.[C] Energy from the sun would not pollute our living environment.[D] Energy from oil would not pollute our living environment.45. Solar energy is now in its infancy, __________.[A] but it will be considered as an important part of our nation’s energy supply[B] yet we will build more power plants[C] and the supply of electricity will be rationed[D] but we don t need practice energy rationing nowPassage 2In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year.As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victor ies. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?”“No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel startin g first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter’s experience.While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.46. What do we learn from the first paragraph?[A] A lot of distractions compete for children’s time nowadays.[B] Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities.[C] Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time.[D] Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.47. What did the author say about her own writing experience?[A] She was constantly under pressure of writing more.[B] Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.[C] She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.[D] Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations.48. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest?[A] She had won a prize in the previous contest.[B] She wanted to share her stories with readers.[C] She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.[D] She believed she possessed real talent for writing.49. The author took great pains to refine her daughter’s stories because __________.[A] she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a writer[B] she was afraid Rebecca’s imagination might run wild while writing[C] she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so much[D] she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance50. What’s the author’s advice for parents?[A] Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.[B] Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.[C] Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.[D] A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.Passage 3Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve of a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.51. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes __________.[A] for recreation [B] in the interests of the farmers[C] to limit the fox population [D] to show off their wealth52. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?[A] It involves the use of a deadly poison.[B] It is a costly event which rarely occurs.[C] The hunters have set rules to follow.[D] The hunters have to go through strict training.53. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game __________.[A] by resorting to violence [B] by confusing the fox hunters[C] by taking legal action [D] by demonstrating on the scene54. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to __________.[A] prohibit farmers from hunting foxes[B] forbid hunting foxes with dogs[C] stop hunting wild animals in the countryside[D] prevent large-scale fox hunting55. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.[A] Something about Solar Energy and Pollution.[B] limiting the fox population is unnecessary[C] hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent[D] fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the richIV.

AThree divers enter a hole leading to a water-f illed cave on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. They swim for an hour. Finally, they reach a large room 60 feet underground and about the size of two basketball courts. Here, they discover an upside-down human skull (the bones of a person’s head). Other bones lay nearby.The team came across the skull in 2007. The divers then told the Mexican government about the finding. Soon the government formed a team of scientists to look into it. The group, which included archaeologist (考古学家) Dominique Rissolo, believed that the skull belonged to someone who lived in the last ice age. At the ice age’s height some twenty thousand years ago, sea levels dropped and new land appeared. Over time, rain and wind ate holes into some of the land.“The person may have died after entering the cave,” Rissolo says. Then, when the ice age ended some ten thousand years ago, sea levels rose. Water flooded the cave, covering theremains.Worrying that moving the skull might destroy it, scientists decided to examine it at its Array watery resting place. They collected information about the skull and other pieces of bones. They found that the bones belonged to a 15- to 17-year-old girl who lived at least twelve thousand years ago. The team named her Naia after some sea creatures in Greek myths.Naia is the oldest nearly complete human skeleton (骨架) ever found in the Americas. DNA tests showed that she’s a direct ancestor of present-day Native Americans. Naia’s DNA also matches with people native to Siberia, a part of Russia. Scientists have long thought that ancient people from this area arrived in Alaska during the last ice age. They were the first humans to live in the Americas. And Naia proves how far south they went. (Mexico is a country to the south of the US.)In 2014 the scientists decided to bring up Naia’s skull from the cave to protect it from curious divers. So it was taken to a lab, where it remains today.1、What do we learn about the skull?A.It was left alone in the cave.B.It lay under a basketball court.C.It drew the government’s attention.D.It was discovered by three scientists.2、When did Naia probably live?A.After the last ice age ended.B.Before the last ice age ended.C.Before the last ice age started.D.At the beginning of the last ice age.3、Why was the skull studied in the cave for several years?A.Scientists tried to protect it.B.The temperature was fine in there.C.It was against the law to take it out.D.It would help scientists study the cave,4、Who were Naia’s distant ancestors?A.Early humans in Greece.B.Early humans in Siberia.C.Early humans in Alaska. Array D.Early humans in Mexico.BEncouraging life to bloom(兴旺) in the middle of a desert is no easy task. But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the state’s citizens. The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its freshwater.The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica. It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujarirah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.The company’s director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said, “We have made the technical and financial plan. We will start the project at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world, due to its extremely arid climate, which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company. The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使转向) its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks, before being processed. “This is the purest water in the world.” Mr. Al Shehi added.1、What can we learn about the UAE project?A.It will help the UAE harvest freshwater.B.It will encourage life to boom in Antarctica.C.It will put the UAE at severe risk of droughts.D.It will completely change the climate in the UAE.2、Where could the block of ice come from? Array A.The Atlantic Ocean. B.Fujariah.C.The Gulf. D.Heard Island.3、Which of the following may NOT benefit from the project?A.The local people. B.Antarctica.C.The weather. D.Tourism.4、The author mentions the nature of ice in the last paragraph to show ________.A.the process of the project B.the possibility of the planC.the purpose of the company D.the comments on the scheme第三部分语言知识运用(共两节)第一节(每小题1分,满分20分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.When I was 17,I read a quote that went something like:“If you live each day as if it were your last,someday you’11 most certainl y be right.”It made a deep 1 on me.and since then, for the past 33 years,I have 2 in the mirror every morning and asked myself:“If today were the last day of my life, 3 I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a 4 ,I know I need to change something.Remembering that I’ll be 5 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big 6 in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death,7 only what is truly importantAbout a year ago I was 8 with cancer.

(20 points)Questions 41 〜45 are based on the following passage.Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is, the choice—from basic bam to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle 一is all part of fun.HostelsCheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don't have to be young or single to use them. Britain's independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse(临时住房)while others are remarkably comfortable 一almost like bargain hotels.Youth hotelsFounded many years ago to “help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside", the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain's towns and countryside.B&BsThe B&B (bed and breakfast) is a great British institution. In essence you get a room in somebody's house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you'll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.In country areas your B&B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around £ 12 to £20 per person. City B&Bs charge about £25 to £30 per person, although they're often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.Pubs & InnsAs well as selling drinks and meals, Britain's pubs and inns sometimes offer B&B, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community.Rates range from around £15 to £25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.41.In this passage the author mainly.A. tells us where to stay while visiting BritainB. advises readers to pay a visit to BritainC. introduces the wonderful public services in BritainD. gives us some information about British life42.are mainly built for young visitors.A.

It was hard for the Queen to choose the best one.One evening, she disguised herself and went to where the three sheiks were having their evening meal. She asked them to give her something to eat.The first sheik gave her some stale (不新鲜的)food left over from the day before.The second sheik gave her a tough piece of old camel's tail.The third sheik, whose name was Hakim, gave her some of the most tender (嫩的)and tasty meat.The next day, she invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace. She told her servants to give each sheik what he had given her the evening before. Hakim, who received a plate of tender and tasty meat, would not eat it unless the other two sheiks could share it with him.Queen Maura was certain which of the sheiks she wanted to marry.“Hakim is the most generous of you," she told them, “so I want to marry him and he will become king.,,46.What was Queen looking for?A.

He was to appear as violin soloist with the New York Symphony Orchestra. On his way from the stage entrance to the artist's room, he saw a large fire ax on a wall. "What's that for?" he asked a guard."To chop the heads oof the soloists who don't play well," was the reply."And how many heads have you already cut off?""Oh, quite a few."said the guard, with a friendly wink.Some in the audience that night—especially the music critics—expected the boy's head to roll. He was to play a difficult violin concerto by Beethoven. Critics felt that this great piece should be attempted only by a mature artist. For a child, the complicated fingering would be impossible, they added.It was November 25, 1927. That night Carnegie Hall was packed. All eyes in the audience watched for Yehudi Menuhin, the eleven-year-old violin soloist, to appear on the stage. When the kettledrum anounced the opening of the concerto, Yehudi stood calmly, so absorbed in the music that some people feared he would not come in on time. But, with only seconds to spare, he adjusted his violin and raised his bow. At the great singing tone that filled the hall, there was a gasp, a slight stirring—and then a deep hush.It was only during the most difficult part of the concerto, when the soloist played alone, that the audience once more realized that a child was playing. Listeners marveled at his pure tone, expert fingering and wonderful trills. A burst of applause almost stopped the concert. But Yehudi played on, bringing everyone's attention back to Beethoven's great music.At the end of the concerto, people shouted and yelled, many with tears in their eyes. The men in the orchestra rose and joined in the noise.At this point Yehudi looked like the young boy he was. Catching sight of Persinger, he dragged his teacher onto the stage, pointing at him and clapping his own hands. Still the applause went on.Even the newspaper critics stayed on to applaud Yehudi. He had to appear on stage in his coat, cap in hand, before at last the audience let him go home.Next morning, music critic Olin Downes wrote in the New York Times:" I had come to the hall convinced that a child could play the violin no more effectively than a trained seal. I left knowing that there is such a thing as a great artist who begins at an early age..."Time, and Yehudi Menuhin, have proved the critic right.41. The guard was ___________ when he told Yehudi about the fire ax.A. serousB. jokingC. cheatingD. anxious42. Why did come people expect Yehudi Menuhin's "head to roll"?A. Because he wasn't very good.B. Because he didn't know what the fire ax was for.C. Because they were not fond of Beethoven's music.D. Because they thought he was too young to play that piece of music43. Why did the audience appreciate Yehudi's performance?A. Because news of his talent had spread.B. Because they liked the piece of music he chose to perform.C. Because he played the concerto beautifully.D. Because he was only a little boy of eleven.44. From this article we may infer that _______.A. Yehudi was quite at ease on the stageB. Yehudi was a little bit nervous before the audienceC. Yehudi was afraid he would prove a failureD. Yehudi was trying to show off his talent45. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Yehudi's performance aroused great excitement.B. Probably he always wore a white silk shirt and black velvet pants on the stage.C. The moment he appeared on the stage he was greeted with applause.D. He asked the conductor to tune his violin.Living a Long LifeIn the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their100th birthday, and many don't stop at 100! By comparison, in America only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100! By comparison, in America only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these Soviet old people are't alone. The Pakistani Hunzas, who live high in the Himalaya Mountains, and the Vilcabambans of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador seem to share the secret of long life too.These people remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time. While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s, some Soviet Georgians, aged 110 to 140, work in the fields beside their great-great-grandchildren. Even the idea of aging is foreign to them. When asked, "At what age does youth end?" most of these old people had no answer. Several replied, "Well, perhaps at age 80." The very youngest estimate was age 60.What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age, and survive so well? First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived peoples. They begin their long days of physical labour as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam Mamedov is 142 years of age. He remembers his life experiences: the Crimean War of 1854; the Turkish War of 1878; the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. His wife is 116 years years. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Mamedov has no intentions of retiring from his life as a farmer. "Why? What else would I do?" he asks. Oh, he's slowed down a bit. Now he might quit for the day after 6 hours in the field instead of 10.All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work. They all come from mountainous regions. They live and work at elevations of 5,000 to 12,000 feet(1,660 to 4,000 metres) above sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollution-free. This reduced oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel system stronger.Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent, they are separated from the pressure and worries of industrial society.Inherited factors also play some role. Most of the longest-lived peoples had parentsand grandparents who also reached very old ages. Good family genes may, therefore, be one factor in living longer.Finally, although these three groups don't eat exactly the same foods, their diets are similar. The Hunzas, Vilcabambans, and Soviets eat little animal meat. Their diets are fullof fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese, and milk. They never eat more food than their bodies need.It is clear that isolation from urban pressure and pollution, clean mountain air, daily hard work, moderate diets, good genes, and a youthful approach to life all contribute to the health and remarkable long life of all these people.46.

He was on his way to Beaver Creek to attend a three-day sales meeting when he had the flat. Unfortunately, he did not have a spare, so he pushed the car off the road, locked it up, and managed to thumb a ride back to Pine Grove. It was after eleven o'clock when he finally got home, and it was then that his real problems started.When Andrew left home at about 5:30, he had told his wife not to expect him back until Thursday or Friday. Knowing that his wife was nervous about staying in the house alone at night, Andrew took the precaution of checking all the windows in the house to be sure they were locked, so that he could report to his wife that the house was secure. He convinced his wife that the house was burglar-proof, and that she would be perfectly safe, providing she bolted the front door as soon as he drove away.Andrew's only thought as he made his way in the dark to his front door was how surprised his wife was going to be to see him, since he was not surposed to be back until Thursday or Friday. He had forgotten about the bolt on the front door. When he turned his key in the lock and the door wouldn't budge, he remembered the bolt. And he remembered that he had carefully locked all of the windows.Although Andrew didn't know it at the time, a next-door neighbor had seen him approaching the house and had watched him go up the steps to the front door. In the dark, it was impossible for the neighbor to recognize Andrew, and, besides, the neighbor knew that Andrew had gone out-of-the-town for a three-day meeting. As a matter of fact, Andrew had asked the neighbor to keep an eye on the house while he was gone.Finding that he couldn't get in by the front door, and knowing that there was no possibility of getting in through a window, Andrew began pounding on the front door to get his wife to open the door. According to Andrew, however, his wife is a very sound sleeper, and he knew it was going to be hard to wake her up. In the meantime, because of all the noise he had been making, the neighbor was convinced that somebody was trying to break into the house; so she called the police.When we talked to Andrew at the country jail this morning, he said that he still didn't understand how the police managed to circle the house without his seeing them. He stated that he had decided the only way to get in was to break one of the dining room windows, and that he was about to hurl his briefcase into the window to break it when two of the officers grabbed him from behind.Andrew could not make the officers believe that he lived there; so they took him off to jail. Apparently, he did succeed in convincing them that they ought to wake up the woman in the house to check his story. But there was no answer when they knocked at the door. He tried to explain to them that his wife was a very sound sleeper, but they concluded there was nobody in the house.41.

His conference.The Door Swings OpenNowadays, with women playing an ever-increasing role in all kinds of careers and professions, it is difficult to understand that there was a time when no medical school would accept a woman. They all said that only a man could be a doctor. An American, Elizabeth Blackwell, was determined to become the first woman doctor in the world. After a great deal of delay and opposition, she received, to her great surprise, a letter from the Dean of Geneva College informing her that she had been accepted.Much later, Elizabeth discovered what had actually happened when her application had been received by the College authorities. None of them wanted to have a woman student, but they did not wish to offend the influential Philadelphia doctor who had recommended her, so they hit on the expedient of turning the decision over to the students' general meeting. They were quite certain that this would result in this alarming idea being turned down. But when the student body met, many of them thought it would be amusing to be the only medical college in the country which would boast that it was training some sort of Amazon as a woman doctor. Some genuinely believed that women should be treated equally, while others thought of the whole thing as a joke. So the vote in favour was carried unanimously, and the College authorities found, with dismay, that they would now have to admit Elizabeth.A few days after receiving the notification of her acceptance, Elizabeth was on the train for the two-day journey to Geneve College..Her entry into the medical school there could hardly have been more nerve-racking. The Dean asked her to follow him on to the platform and formally introduced her to the assembled students. Fifty years later an elderly doctor, who was a student at the College at the time, recalled the scene. "The class, numbering about 150 students, was composed largely of young men from the neighbouring towns.They were rude, boisterous, and riotous beyond comparison. On several occasions the residents of the neighbourhood sent written protests to the College threatening to have the College indicated as a nuisance if the disturbances did not cease. During lectures it was often almost impossible to hear the professor owing to the confusion." He。
