I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works. A young couple ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband’s patience for her continuous talk. Distracted(心烦意乱的) by their noise, I moved on .I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant words, I moved away quickly.I was standing at the counter(收银台) of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then carefully went into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.“He’s a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. But he made a promise that his life wouldn't change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”“Can’t see? You're wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.（）9. The young couple was at an art museum ________.A. to show their loveB. to enjoy paintingsC. to discuss paintingsD. to describe paintings（）10. “…I moved away quickly.” in Paragraph 1 shows that the writer________.A. was in the hope of visiting more roomsB. was in a hurry to buy some giftsC. was tired of the nonstop talkingD. was not interested in the art show（）11.

The passage is mainly about ___________.A. the importance of artB. good manners in publicC. patience of a husbandD. love between a coupleDA city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn’t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways have always been the best waysto get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go.People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem.Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt(融化)Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.A: Hi, Jim. How’s it going?B: 16 .

AAnimal moms are great moms. You might be surprised at some of these moms.Octopuses (章鱼)The mother octopus lays about 50,000 eggs. For about 300 days, she stays with the eggs, cleans them and protects them. She does not leave to feed. However, this animal mom dies as soon as the eggs are hatched (孵化).CrocodilesA crocodile mother puts a lot of time and effort into raising her babies. She starts by building a nest (巢), which she guards for over two months! When the eggs are ready to hatch, the young crocs call out to their mother, who digs them out and helps them hatch. She then carries them in her mouth down to the water, where she will guard them for several more weeks or months until they learn to hunt on their own.BatsBats become moms by hanging head up in a cave, giving birth. Catching the youngster before it can fall to the ground below, she puts it in a pouch (育儿袋). Bat moms may carry babies with them when feeding for the first few days. As the little bats get bigger and heavier, moms help them hang on the wall of their caves and return often to feed them. It continues for about three weeks, until the babies are grown up and able to fly on their own.Koalas (考拉)The animal mom gives birth after a pregnancy (怀孕期) of only 35 days. The hairless baby climbs into its mother’s pouch and lives there for another five months. When the little koala is between five and eight months old, it leaves the pouch forshort periods of time but returns for safety. Once it is too big to return to the pouch, it will climb onto its mother’s back and ride there until it is about 12 months old.1 Which animal moms die when their babies are born?A. Octopuses.B. Crocodiles.C. Bats.D. Koalas.2. A crocodile mother usually carries her baby to the water _____.A. in her mouthB. on her backC. in her pouchD. by her tail3. A bat mom _____.A. gives birth by lying in the nestB. gives birth by hanging in a caveC. leaves its babies in the pouch for monthsD. lets its babies live on their own after birthBIt’s a sure sign that summer is over and winter is on the way — leaves that were once deep green turn red, yellow and bright orange. It happens every autumn. But did you ever wonder why?The leaves start changing color when the nights start getting longer and the temperature starts getting cooler. Some scientists think that as the number of daylight hours shrinks, the leaves stop making chlorophyll（叶绿素）which makes plants green. The reason is that the process of making chlorophyll requires sunlight. But according to horticulture (园艺) educator Susan Rose from Colorado State University, it turns out leaves don’t really change color at all. “The fall colors are actually there all along,” she said. “But they are covered by the green chlorophyll. As the chlorophyll stops being produced, the other colors can shine through.”The kind of color that the leaves are going to change to is determined by the plant’s genetic (基因的) background. In some places, the leaves start changing color in September — before autumn even officially begins. In other places, they don’t change until late October or even November. Some scientists say the leaves have been changing color later than usual in recent years. And they think globalwarming has something to do with that.In one study, researchers found that the growing season in the Northern Hemisphere was nearly a week longer, on average, in 2008 than it was in 1982. And a professor from Harvard University found that the leaves, west of Boston, Massachusetts, are changing color about three days later than they used to. However, other scientists disagree with the global warming theory. Susan Rose said the leaves in h er part of Colorado are changing “right on schedule.” But the leaves in other parts of that state are running a little late. “The lateness in the mountains may have something to do with the really warm late summer and early fall,” she said. “But I’m afraid that’s just a guess.”4. According to Susan Rose, _____.A. the fall colors are always in leavesB. leaves make chlorophyll all the seasonsC. leaves’ changing color have nothing to with the weatherD. leaves begin changing color because they start making chlorophyll5 The underlined word “shrinks” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _____.A. reducesB. increasesC. lastsD. appears6 Scientists guess leaves change color later than usual probably as a result of _____.A. genetic backgroundB. dry weatherC. global warmingD. low temperature7. The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell readers _____.A. why leaves change color at fallB. leaves change color at different timeC. the effects of the global warming on plantsD. different opinions on the lateness of leaves’ changing colorCMore than 10,000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.The wooden bridge across the river has been washed away. The town is cut offby flood waters. At the fifth mile, Jalan Tengkn, the water is two meters deep. It is closed to all traffic. Flooding first happened at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks. People trying to get to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood. Most of the flood victims(受害者) had to leave all their things behind.The National Flood Relief(救济) Center was reported to give its help and by early evening the whole town was moved out, helped by the army, police, Red Cross Society and volunteers.The flood victims are now housed in different simple relief centers in the nearby town of Ternang. “Everything possible is being done to help the unlucky people,”a government spokesman said, “In fact, mo ney, food and clothing have begun to come in from public organizations and helpful people. A Disaster Relief Fund（救灾基金会）will be started as soon as possible.”According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang. The whole town is expected to be wholly covered by the water. So far no deaths have been8. Based on the contents, this passage is probably taken from ______.A. a storybookB. a textbookC. a magazineD. a newspaper9. The reason why there came such a big flood there is that ______.A. the banks on both sides were too lowB. the river was too narrow and shallowC. they had had rainy days for some timeD. the wooden bridge across the river was broken10. From the passage we know that ______.A. though the town was flooded, you could still go there by busB. the flood hasn't brought a large loss to the town as nobody died in the floodC. as soon as the water flowed over the banks, people began to go to higher landsD. the government and the whole society are taking great care of the flood victims11. What is the best title for this passage?A. A Big FloodB. Ternang Is in DangerC. Over 10,000 People Are HomelessD. Great Help Is NeededDEvery week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee(拼写大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters w ithout remembering how to write them.But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.12. Which of the following is closest in the meaning with the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?A. Ever Chinese can write Chinese characters easily, especially with computersB. Only with the help of computers can some Chinese people write Chinese charactersC. Despite the help of computers, Chinese people have forgotten how to writeD. Computers are the only means to rely on to write Chinese characters for many people13. What can we learn about the Character Hero?A. It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.B. It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.D. It draws great public attention across the country.14. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.D. Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology.15. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is__________.A. necessary for adults to survive in ChinaB. a requirement made by the Education MinistryC. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveD. an ability to be developed only when you are students第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AA few weeks ago, I called an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for the holidays．As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations（语调）of the driver’s accent washed over me in a familiar way．I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family．I could relate: I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success．I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents．That’s how he found out I go to Harvard．An approving eye glinted at me in the rearview window, and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver．I became his daughter, all grown up ﹣the product of his sacrifice．And then came the fateful question: “What do you study? ” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice fa ded, as I knew it might．I didn’t even get to add “and African﹣American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history? ”Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life．He went on to deliver the age﹣old lecture that all immigrant kids know．We are to become doctors （or lawyers, if our parents are being generous）﹣to make money and send money back home．The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative（故事）of upward mobility so your children can do the same．I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I’m grateful for their support more than anything．This holiday season, I’ve promised myself I won’t huff and get annoyed at their inquiries．I won’t defensively respond with “but I plan to go to law school!” when I get unrequested advice．I’ll just smile and nod, and enjoy thewarmth of the occasion．1. What disappointed the driver？________A.The author’s attitude towards him．B.The school that the author is attending．C.The author’s majors in history and literature．D.The author’s interests in African Am erican studies．2. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “squandering” in Paragraph 4？________A.wasting．B.creating．C.valuing．D.seizing．3. Why are immigrant kids expected to be doctors or lawyers？________A.Their parents want them to move upward in society．B.Their parents are high achieving as well．C.They have more opportunities．D.They are very smart in general．4. How did the author react to the driver’s questioning？________A.Getting upset．B.Feeling satisfied．C.Defending herself．D.Appreciating his concern．BIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain．People had been writing novels for a century-most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719- but nobody wanted to do it professionally．The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字）rate in England was under 50%．Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady．” Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad．In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters-from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim were held up as moraltouchstones．Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged．Removing him from the pantheon （名人堂）of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa．How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass．Some 60, 000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them．It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life．It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress．Bu t it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself al the center．No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer．But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible-and important for our own culture-to understand how he made himself a lasting one．5. Which of the following best deseribes British novels in the 18th century？________A.They were difficult to understand．B.They were popular among the rich．C.They were seen as nearly worthless．D.They were written mostly by women．6. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress．________A.his reputation in France．B.his interest in modern art．C.his success in publication．D.his importance in literature．7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？________A.To remember a great writer．B.To introduce an English novel．C.To encourage studies on culture．D.To promote values of the Victorian age．CThere are many useful suggestions that can help one to improve English. Here are some of them to increase one’s English language vocabulary.Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. It is based on understanding important words and expressions.Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Researches show that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions（重复）to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context（上下文）, the more words one is shown, the better vocabulary one will have. Keep a piece of paper close to you. When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to understand its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a dictionary.Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember: “In the beginning was the word.” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.8. We can learn from the passage that learning English vocabulary _________.A.is just about learning the right wordsB.is about remembering more and more wordsC.doesn’t require one to learn expressionsD.requires one to understand important expressions9. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.To master a word, you need to repeat it 10-20 times.B.If you remember a word, you are still able to forget it if you don’t use it.C.It doesn’t take long to build one’s vocabulary.D.Practice is very important in fluent spoken English.10. The best way to learn new words is _________.A.trying to use them while speaking and writingB.writing them down over and over againC.always looking them up in the dictionaryD.reading them loudly over and over again11. What is the passage mainly about?A.How to enrich your English vocabulary.B.How to have a good conversation in English .C.Why context is important in learning English.D.How to improve the quality of communication.DA month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train．Yet, I was determined to go ahead．I remember back to my 7th year in school．In my first P．E．class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball．I didn’t do either well．He later informed me that I was“not athletic”．The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years．When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic．It was all about the battle against my own body and mind．A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line．I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself．Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces （鞋带）became untied．So I stopped to readjust．Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: “ GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly．Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again．By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign．She is my biggest fan．She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a．m．or questioned my expenses on running．I was one of the final runners to finish．But I finished! And I got a medal．In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had．Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels（世俗标签）,I can now call myself a “marathon winner”．12. A month before the marathon，the author________．A.was well trained．B.felt scared．C.made up his mind to run．D.lost hope．13. Why did the author mention the P．E．class in his 7th year？________A.To acknowledge the support of his teacher．B.To amuse the readers with a funny story．C.To show he was not talented in sports．D.To share a precious memory．14. How was the author’s first marathon？________A.He made it．B.He quit halfway．C.He got the first prize．D.He walked to the end．15. What does the story mainly tell us？________A.A man owes his success to his family support．B.A winner is one with a great effort of will．C.Failure is the mother of success．D.One is never too old to learn．第二节（本题共计 5 小题，每小题2分，共计10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
