While travelling was inspiring and meeting people was 24, nothing about my term in France was what I25.The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 26by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting27I received some shocking news from my program coordinator: there had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for sever al weeks. That afternoon, I had to 28out of one family’s house into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a 29this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation to30my native language, I asked not to be 31with an English-speaking roommate.

People have always been scared of sharks,but Jaws made things worse.It made people frightened of sharks,especially of the great white shark.Many people who saw the film started to believe that sharks were bad animals that ate humans.Some people stopped swimming in the sea,afraid of the horrible creature from the film.Other people started fishing for sharks,killing as many as they could.At that time,nobody cared if sharks were killed,or how many were killed.People just wanted them killed.After 1975，the number of large sharks around America fell quickly,and soon fell around the world.This was not only due to fear of sharks,but also finning.Finning is a type of fishing where sharks are caught and their fins cut off.The sharks are thrown back into the sea where they die slowly and painfully.The fins are used in shark fin soup.Finning kills millions of sharks a year. Finning would have an unexpected effect upon Peter Benchley,the man who wrote the book the film Jaws was based on.In 1980，Benchley was diving when he came across an awful sight.It was an area where fishermen were finning,and the sea floor was covered with dead sharks.Benchley saw sharks being killed and this caused a deep change in him.He came to see people as a danger to sharks,rather than the other way round.From that day on,he fought to protect sharks.He admitted that his book was wrong about sharks' behavior. "Sharks don't target humans," he said.Experts have proved that sharks do not see people as food,and theyattack us by mistake.Only around six people are killed by sharks every year.Fortunately,not everyone who watched the film Jaws became afraid of sharks - some became interested in understanding them.Today,as we learn more about sharks.more people than ever want to protect them from extinction.17.Which of the following is true of the 1975 film Jaws？______A. A woman swam gracefully along with a shark in the opening sceneB. The film challenged people's long-held belief of the great white sharkC. Many awards were given to the film due to the frightening killing scenesD. The shark was described as a cruel and dangerous animal to swimmers18.What did people begin to do after they saw the film？______A. Some became more fascinated in swimming in the seaB. Some were eager to fish sharks for their delicious meatC. Some killed as many sharks as possible for no reasonD. Some called on others to protect the endangered sharks19.What happens to a shark when it is finned？______A. It will be served onto the table as soupsB. It will suffer a lot and die slowly in the seaC. Its fins will grow again after some timeD. Its fins will be thrown away into the ocean20.What caused a deep change to Peter Benchley？______A. Seeing the finning scene and many dead sharksB. Joining the fishermen who were killing and finningC. Writing the book the film Jaws was based onD. Knowing that sharks do not target and eat humans21.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？______A. To inform people about sharks and recommend the film and the book to themB. To describe the cruel finning scene and prove that sharks are dangerous animalsC. To explain people's misunderstanding of sharks and raise awareness of sharkprotectionD. To criticize Peter Benchley's misleading description of sharks in his book and advocatethe protection of sharksBPicking up free newspaper at the Tube station,I see the title "Hot!Hot!Hot!".Today,the temperature in London is expected to reach 30 plus degrees.The average high temperature in July is only 22 degrees,so over 30 is not usual for London.It's going to be awful on the central line with no air conditioning.Why did they have to invent the Tube before air conditioning？It's just typical that my journey is on one of the oldest lines,as well as one of the deepest.It's the hottest on the whole tube system.Sure enough,going down the stairs and onto the platform is like jumping into a volcano that's erupting.This,however,is nothing compared to the train.Because there's no air conditioning,the temperature inside the train can reach 35 degrees!It's lovely at the beach,but not so when you are wearing a suit and in a crowd of passengers.I'm sure the passenger next to me and I are melting and becoming one.I had bacon and eggs for breakfast and now I'm feeling a bit sick - I hope I can make it to bank station.I will avoid the feeling by thinking about work.I work in a tall,glass building.One very hot summer,the sun reflected off it and melted cars park below.Will this happen again today？Yes,each summer in London definitely seems hotter than the last.I suddenly feel a bit scared.Perhaps now is the time to start planning for the future.I should probably put my flat on the market and buy a boat.That way,when the Thames rises and there is a flood in London,I'll still be able to get to work.But wait!Would I still have a workplace to go？My office is only on the third floor of the building,so quite low.I'll speak with my manager about moving to the top floor.Most importantly,I will need to learn to swim!I would join a beginner swimming class immediately.Then I'll be able to survive even when the tall buildings are flooded.Looking through my newspaper,I'm shocked by photos showing that a hurricane in Asia has destroyed a town.What's more,heavy rain in Eastern Europe has caused landslides,and the heat across the Southern Europe has caused forest fires.Experts say this bad weather has occurred due to climate change.News like this makes me feel nervous.Now that it's hard to avoid disaster on Earth,perhaps I should start thinking about moving to space."The next station is bank!" comes the announcement.That's my destination.Stepping out of the station with a heavy heart,I suddenly feel a fresh wind on my face.Well,maybe I have been worrying too much.After all,it's only 30 degrees outside!22.What is true about the Central Line in Paragraph 1？______A. The Central Line is one of the oldest Tube lines in London.B. The temperature in the Central Line is between 22 to 30 degrees.C. The air conditioning of the Central Line makes passengers feel awful.D. The Central Line is the hottest because it is the deepest line of the tube system.23.What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 2？______A. The author tried to endure the sick feeling on his / her own.B. The author wanted to taste bacon and eggs at the bank station.C. The author was thinking about saving his / her money in the bank.D. The author was worried about the hot environment at the station.24.Which of the following is a plan for the "coming" flood in London？______A. The author will buy a flat which is far away from the Thames.B. The author will try to persuade the manager to move to the top floor.C. Tie author will improve his / her swimming skills to join a competition.D. The author will buy a boat from which he / she can jump into the water.25.What do the hurricane,heavy rain and the heat mentioned in Paragraph 4 show？______A. The climate in different regions on Earth varies greatly.B. The natural disasters can be avoided by moving to space.C. Bad weathers happen more frequently due to climate change.D. The author is reading the weather forecast section carefully.26.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？______A. To complain about the London Tube.B. To warn people about the danger of London being flooded.C. To explain why summers in London are getting hotter and hotter.D. To express his worries about the dangers of extreme weather conditions.CPre - school children who spend time together take on one another's personalities, "new research has found.The study shows that environment plays a key role in shaping people's personalities.While genetics still forms the central part of the human psyche（心理），the research finds that personality traits（特征）are "contagious" （传染的）among children. " Our finding flies in the face of common assumptions that personality can't be changed," said Dr.Jennifer Neal,co-author of the study.The researchers studied the personalities and social networks of two pre-school classes for a full school year.One of the classes was a set of three-year-olds,and the other a set offour-year-olds.Children whose friends were hard-working or outgoing gradually took on thesepersonality traits over time.Psychology expert Dr.Emily Dublin said kids are having a far bigger effect on each other than people may realize.The new study is not the first to explore the contagious effects of personality traits.A 2015 psychology study found that rudeness at work can be contagious as it travels from person to person "like a disease".The study found that seeing a boss being rude to an employee was enough to cause people to be rude to those around them.The researchers questioned 6，000 people on the social "climate" in their workplaces,which included offices,hotels and restaurants.They found 75 percent of those who took part said they had been treated rudely at least once in the past year.And the study also suggests that merely seeing other people being subjected to rudeness made it more likely that a person would treat their colleagues in the same way.Rudeness could include leaving someone off an invite to a company event,sending unkind emails,finding fault with others or failing to give praise.Dr.Torkelson believes companies need to be more aware of the harm that rudeness in the workplace can do as it can damage the working environment.She said better training could help to fight against the problem.27.What does the underlined part "flies in the face of" in Paragraph 1 mean？______A. Leads to.B. Goes against.C. Results from.D. Agrees with.28.According to Paragraph 2，who have the greatest impact on children's personality？______A. Their friends.B. Their parents.C. The researchers.D. The psychologists.29.Which of the following is considered rude at the workplace？______A. Ignoring the faults of co-workers.B. Not sending emails to workmates.C. Seeking praise from colleagues and bosses.D. Not inviting a colleague to a company party.30.What is the passage mainly about？______A. One's personality is hard to change.B. One's personality is shaped by genes.C. One's personality traits can spread to others.D. One's personality traits can change overnight.31.This passage is most probably taken from ______ .A. a school textbookB. a study guideC. a science reportD. a technical journal四、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）A young school teacher had a dream.In his dream,an angel appeared and said,"You will be given a child who will grow up to become a world(32).How will you prepare him so that he will realize his (33)，develop both his confidence and sensitivity,be open-minded,and strong in character？In short,what kind of education will you (34) so that he can become one of the world's truly great leaders？"The young teacher(35) in a cold sweat.It had never(36) to him before-any one of his present or future students could be the person (37) in his dream.Was he preparing them to rise to any position which they may (38)？He thought,"How might my teaching change if I knew that one of my students were this person？" A plan was (39) developed in his mind.This student would need experience as well as instructions.He would need to know how to solve problems of various kinds.He would need to know the value of lifelong learning in order to keep a curious and (40) mind.His teaching(41).Every young person who walked through his(42) became,for him,a future world leader.He saw each one,not as they were,but as they could be.He(43) the best from his students,yet tempered（使缓和）it with sympathy and assistance.He taught each one as if the future of the world depended on his instructions.After many years,a woman he taught(44) to a position of world fame.He realized thatshe(45)have been the child described in his dream.She was not only one of his(46)，but rather his daughter.Of all the (47) teachers in her life,her father was the best.Children are(48) messages we send to a time and place we will never see.Believe that one child's(49)may depend upon the difference only you can make,and something remarkablewill(50)，for no young person will ever be(51) to you again.And you will never be the same.32.

I think a hero is someone who goes out of his way to make others happy. My hero is Mr. Wright, my chorus （合唱队） teacher. When I was 12 years old, my grandparents passed away. I was really close to them, and losing them was the hardest thing I've ever had to 1 through. I couldn't eat, sleep, or think; I felt like I couldn't even breathe. It was as if my whole world had fallen down from under me, and I 2 into this huge hole of depression （抑郁）. 3 I was battling depression, I was determined to make my high school years the best of my life. It was difficult to be 4 , but I had to try. I joined Women's Choir. Mr. Wright was the choral director and he was so funny that the first day, I just knew I had made the best 5 of my life. As the year progressed, I loved chorus more and more. I began to smile again and really enjoy 6 . Then one day that all changed. My friends—or those that I thought were my friends—started talking about me behind my back. I was 7 , and I sat by myself. Mr. Wright came over and asked what was wrong. The look in his eyes told me that I could 8 him. Trying hard to 9 back tears, I told him the whole story. When I finished, he nodded and told me, "If you never learn anything from me, learn this: No one is worth 10 your joy." What Mr. Wright said really 11 a chord （心弦） in my heart. He 12 cared about me and what was going on. I'll never be able to thank him enough, because he not only saved me but has 13 every day of my1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.life since. Any time I feel like giving 14 , I remember Mr. Wright's words and push forward. I'm proud to say that I 15 my depression, and I'm now a senior. I'm still a 16 of chorus, and now I'm also in the best choir at my school. Mr. Wright is a hero 17 everyone he meets. He cares about every single person who walks through his door, and he loves what he does more than any other teacher I've known. That's 18 he deserves to be Educator of the Year. He deserves the 19 not just this year but every year. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet you, Mr. Wright.You are an 20 teacher, and I hope you realize that.

A.B.（1）(1) There are hundreds of universities to choose from, but there are steps you can take to narrowyour choices.Research online(2) The vast majority of UK courses are on Ucas, where you can filter them by location and subject. Once you've narrowed it down, see what detailed information is available on university websites. Check out their social media pages. They may run web chats with academics or students where you can ask questions.Consider the course structure(3) Find out how you will be taught and assessed, like whether a course has a lot of exams,essays, or group work, and also consider the course content. Thais Cardon, studying English literature at the University of Exeter's Penryn campus, says she regrets not looking into her reading lists before she got to university. "I got lucky because in the third year I get to study Harry Potter, " she says. "But definitely look at the course material."Go to open days(4) It's always worth visiting the university. "We strongly advise that any final decision you make is based on how you feel on the open day, " says Tom Holland, pastoral lead at Blackpool Sixth Form College. He suggests students go at least twice (if you can afford the travel costs) and spend as much time there as possible. There will be lots going on, so plan in advance, so you don't miss anything. When you're there, talk to as many people as possible, visit the town or city as well as the university. If you can, bring someone along for a second opinion. Preferably "someone who won't be as excited and starry-eyed as you", Cardon adds.Look beyond lectures(5) You'll likely be living at university for at least three years, so find out what's on offer outside the curriculum. One university may have an active film society, and another might have a lively cocktail club, or winning football team. "If a university doesn't offer a society you want, you can always start one, so it shouldn't be a defining thing, " Baillie says.When you search for the information about right universities, you .can see the detailed information of all the courses on the website of Ucasneed narrow your choices down by location and universitycated B.examined C.admitted D.requested（2）A.B.C.D.（3）A.B.C.D.（4）A.B.C.D.（5）should avoid social media except their official websitesmight contact their students and academics to ask questionsThe underlined word assessed is closest in meaning to .What can we learn from Paragraph 4?It's worthwhile to visit the university on the open day before you make your final decision.If you can afford the travel costs, you are sure to go the university at least twice.Planning in advance is advisable as you'll have more time for vising the town and the city.Opinions from others shouldn't be considered unless you have trouble making decisions.What can we infer from the passage?There is no need to go to the university without any society.Cardon feels lucky because she doesn't find it a challenge to study Harry Potter.Holland suggests you bring as many people as possible for second opinions.What matters the most about choosing the right university is to consider its courses andlectures.What is the passage mainly about?How you can choose the right university for others.What influences your choice of a university.Why it is difficult to choosea university.When you should choose your university.23.(1) Most animals that migrate live in places that have definite seasons. Take Idaho's summerbirds for example. Idaho's spring, summer, and early fall provide these birds with plenty of good habitat. Once winter comes, the habitat changes. The insects these birds eat, disappear. Water and shelter become harder to find. If these birds are to survive, they have to leave to find the food, water,and shelter they need.(2) As it turns out, food is the single most important reason that animals migrate. Idaho's deer and elk migrate to find food. During the summer months, these large mammals can be found up in the mountains feeding on grasses and other plants. As winter brings snow to the mountains, deer and elkA.storing foodB.changes of seasonsC.destruction of habitatsD.water shortage（1）A.summer bird B.deer C.adult salmon D.elk（2）A. B. C. D.（3）A.（4）move out of the mountains, into valleys where the snow is not as deep and they can find food. This is an example of elevational migration.(3) Animals also migrate to avoid extreme heat or cold. Such extreme climates often also impact the availability of food. Animals leaving these harsh environments can avoid the heat or cold and find the food they need.(4) Animals also migrate to find good habitat to raise their young Idaho's spring and summer provide a lot of food for insect-eating birds to feed their young. Adult salmon make a 900-mile trip from the Pacific Ocean to the rivers and streams of Idaho to lay their eggs Young salmon can find the aquatic insects they need to survive and grow before they make their own migration to the ocean.(5) Exactly how animals migrate has been one of the great mysteries of science. Before people even knew about migration, they had some very unusual explanations for the seasonal movement of birds. Some thought that birds spent the winter under the mud of lakes. Other ancient scientists thought that one kind of bird turned into a different kind of bird for the winter!(6)Today we know these explanations are not even close to being correct, but migration is still a bit of a mystery. Scientists are much closer to understanding this mystery. They have studied many animals, especially birds, and done many experiments to see if they can discover exactly how animals migrate.What causes animals to migrate?The following animals migrate to find food except .How's the passage mainly developed?What does the last paragraph want to tell us?Although the ancient scientists' explanations are out of date, they are still worth discussingwhen it comes to animals' migration.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.（5）The mystery of animals migrations has been cleared up.Studying birds are the key to discovering how other animals migrate.There is stillroom for improvement in scientists' work.What's likely to be discussed after the last paragraph?Discussions about other mysteries in nature.Explanations for animals' migration.Experiments on mysteries about animals.Analyses of ancient scientists' theories about animals' migration.24.Summer was here, and it was a hot one! Cora the hedgehog was out foraging for food, tying tostay cool. She saw her friend Heather by her den. Heather was splashing around in her little pool outside."Hi Heather!" Cora called. "When did you get a pool? ""Hi Cora! I just got it yesterday, it's really helping cool me down. Would you like to join me? "Heather replied."I would love to, thanks!" They talked for a long while, and Cora had a lot of questions for Heather about the pool She asked who Heather bought it from, if it was expensive, and if Heather thought she was going to use it a lot this summer."I saw a commercial for the pool company, and the commercial got me thinking about how nice a pool would be. I looked at reviews to see if other people liked their pools, and if the company did a good job. When I saw that the company did a good job, and that their price was similar to other companies, I decided to buy one! I would definitely recommend them to you. I think I'm going to love having a pool on hot days like this one!" Heather told Cora.Cora thanked Heather for letting her cool off, and continued to look for food. As she was looking for food and munching on delicious insects, she could not stop thinking about the pool. It did get awfully hot in the summertime, and water was hard to come by on the hot days. She decided to do some research of her own before making a decision.She looked up hedgehog-sized pools, and the company Heather talked about was the first listing.She read the prices and the reviews other hedgehogs left about the company and the pools. It looked like they did a great job, and she even watched a video of the commercial Heather had seen! ThenA.seeking shelterB.cooling her friend downC.meeting friendsD.searching for food（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.bitter but energeticB.careful and patientC.rude but daringD.poor and starving （3）A.Ahedgehog and her fiendB.Ahedgehog with a poolC.A pool fit for a hedgehogD.A pool company and its customers （4）Cora looked up other companies. They all looked similar, but since Heather had a good experience with this company, Cora decided to go with the same one.A week later, Cora was happily splashing in her own pool! Heather walked by, and Cora thanked her for the recommendation. It was one of the best summers yet!Cora the hedgehog was out for .Which of the following statements is true?Cora and Heather had a good time together in the pool.Heather didn't recommend the pool to Cora because it's far too expensive.Cora rushed to buy a pool after Heather introduced her pool.Though it was awfully hot in the summer, there was enough water for Cora and Heather.What do you think of Cora the hedgehog?What's the best title for the passage?25.(1) People say, you need to eat protein, but what is it? Many foods contain protein. The bestsources are beef, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, seeds, and legumes like black beans and lentils. Your muscles, your organs, and your immune system are made up mostly of protein.(2) Your body uses the protein you eat to make lots of specialized protein molecules that have specific jobs. For instance, your body uses protein to make hemoglobin. That is the part of red blood cells that caries oxygen to every part of your body. Other proteins are used to build cardiac muscle.What's that? Your heart! In fact, whether you're running or just hanging out, protein is doing important work like moving your legs, moving your lungs, and protecting you from disease.(3) Food from animals, such as meat and milk, is called complete. Most vegetable protein is incomplete. It does not give you as much protein as the animal foods, People who eat a vegetarian diet can still get what they need, they just need to cat a wide variety of protein-rich vegetable foods.A.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.Food. B.Advertisement. C.Life. D.Health.（3）(4) For instance, if you have peanut butter on whole-grain bread you're set. Likewise, red beans won't give you everything you need, but red beans and rice will do the trick. The good news is that you don't have to eat all you need in every meal. As long as you have a variety of protein sources throughout the day, your body will grab what it needs from each meal.(5) You can figure out how much protein you need if you know how much you weigh. Each day,kids need to eat about 0.5 grams of protein for every pound they weigh. That's a gram for every 2pounds you weigh. Your protein needs will grow as you get bigger, but then they will level off when you reach adult size. Adults, for instance, need about 60 grams per day.(6) You can look at a food label to find out how many protein grams are in a serving. But if you're eating a balanced diet, you don't need to keep track of it. It's pretty easy to get enough protein.Which of the following is the function of protein?It helps your body make hemoglobin which is necessary for cell to carry nutrients to everypart of your body.It can be used to build cardiac muscle to improve your lung capacity.It benefits your immune system which is mostly made up of protein.Only when you are running is protein protecting you from disease.Why does the author use the examples in Paragraph 4?To show that people eating a vegetarian diet can get enough protein as long as they have a variety of protein sources.To demonstrate how vegetarians keep a balanced diet.To suggest that people should consume as much protein-rich food as possible.To indicate how to prepare high-protein meals.Which part of a newspaper are you likely to see this passage?26.G.R.C.

She taught them the importance of clarity in writing poetry. There are hundreds of people who learned from her in those classes, and several of them have gone on to write their own poetry. Most of them also read poems better because of leaning from her how to look for the ideas they convey.Illinois has a special role called Poet Laureate. G.R.C. Green was named Illinois Poet Laureate in 1968, but this recognition didn't come until one year after she had already been named poet laureate for the whole country. She was very clear about her artistic priorities of greater importance is the ideas a poet communicates—more than the prizes a poet may earn: But she earned many prizes. She is recognized today as a great poet and an important African American whose influence continues to be felt by subsequent generations.When she was 83, she was diagnosed with cancer Shortly thereafter, she died, Her death in Chicago in 2000 affected people all over the world. While countless numbers of people mourned her death, she had accomplished much in her life.

Green agree with?Her literary pursuits of reading and writing were largely influenced by her early life inKansas.One of poets' concerns is to convey ideas instead of winning awards.Her teaching experience in college contributed to her success as a poet.Her suffering from racial prejudice impacted her writing style.What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?To emphasize the importance of literary reading and writing.To compare greatest works of famous poets.To introduce the real-life experiences of an accomplished poet.To prove cross-cultural background plays an important part in artistic creation.四、根据提示填空（本大题共10小题，每小题0.5分，共5分）27.The research on the monarch's behaviour hashowever （使更了解……）this creature.28.While I was c （专注于拍摄）this amazing scene, I suddenly had a feeling that Iwas being watched.29.The flat terraces catch the rainwater and p（防止土壤被冲走）.30.When I r （从……恢复过来）the shock, I looked at my camera.31.If you haven't been feeling very well, drind some ginger tea to your immunesystem （伸出援手，有助于）.32."You needn't try it if you don't want to, " Mum said, but I （鼓起所有的勇气）take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn't so bad.33.I hope my children and their children will still (珍惜……的回忆) preparingthe dinner together.34.This is why Letters From Father Christmas could be the perfect book for thosewho Christmas （把……视作……）a special time of year.35.Nowadays, some people choose to have the dinner in a restaurant, but not every one is k （喜欢，热衷于）this idea.36.Eating out is a good choice and it （与……无关）loss oftraditions.五、语法填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）37.Wealth 1 (start) with a goal and saving a dollar at a time.

However, there’s still some confusion about what can and what can’t be recycled. With advances in technology, there are more things that can be recycled.COFFEE PODS(咖啡包)On average, Australians are using more than three million coffee pods per day, and about 1.5 million households have coffee machines. While the pods are disastrous for the environment, they can still be recycled. Nespresso has a free post-back program and drop-off points run by TerraCycle, so you can take the pods and directly drop off at Nespresso stores.LIGHT BULBSRather than throwing light bulbs into the bin, some councils run specific recyclingstations, which allow you to drop off these kinds of items. If you do regularly recycle household glass, remember all glass should be washed and have lids removed.PIZZA BOXESNormally, pizza boxes don’t make it into recycling because they’re covered in grease(油脂)and leftover bits of cheese. When a pizza box is too greasy, it won’t be made into a recycling processing plant. If possible, remove as much of the leftovers as you can before recycling. If the pizza box can’t be recycled, tear off the lid which can still be recycled.HOUSEHOLD BATTERIESHousehold batteries can also be recycled. Batteries that do end up in landfills can cause a serious problem to the environment as they can release poisonous chemicals into the soil which are harmful to both humans and animals. Button-cell batteries, which are used in hearing aids and watches, can also be recycled.31．Why does TerraCycle run the free post-back program and drop-off points?A．To produce the best coffee.B．To recycle coffee pods effectively.C．To encourage people to drink coffee.D．To offer some families coffee machines.32．What needs to be done when recycling household glass?A．Clean it with water.B．Send it to the nearby store.C．Pack it well with paper.D．Keep the lid of the glass closed.33．What should people do first to recycle pizza boxes?A．Put them in recycling stations.B．Fold them carefully and neatly.C．Tear the whole boxes into pieces.D．Clear the leftovers as much as possible.34．What can we know about batteries from Paragraph 5?A．They can produce harmful materials.B．They will take a long time to be recycled.C．Battery recycling can bring economic benefits.D．Different batteries have different recycling stations.35．What is the theme of the passage?A．Creative ideas.B．Daily necessities.C．Technical advances.D．Environmental protection.Spring lifts our spirits. It’s a time for Nature to bring us back to life after a cold season. I live not far from the Kairaku Park, which is one of the largest gardens in Japan, and famous for its near 10,000 plum trees. I am fortunate to have them all outside my backyard, and take advantage of the walking paths daily.I see the same trees and swans every day, but that day was different. At the edge of the small lake, I saw some new-born black swans. They were pretty and cute. They stayed with their mom. While taking a few photos of the sunset, I was interrupted by a high sound going on for some time. So I turned around and saw one little swan was stuck by two stones. Its mother was trying to make it out but failed. I tried to get near but the mother was ever so angry! She wouldn’t allow me to get close, so I turned to an old man sitting on the bench and said, “Excuse me, the swan baby can’t move and I want to help it, but the mother is extremely angry! Could you please do me a favor?”After hearing my words, the man smiled at me first and then agreed to help me. He drove the mother away with great efforts, and for several times, he was almost hurt by the mother. Thanks to him, I was able to get there and push the little swan out of the gap finally. Oh, I really hoped it wasn’t injured, but at least it was alive and swimming!In spring, I become more physically active. Things around don’t make us, but Nature does, and it keeps us going. I am positive that all of us have a little piece of nature in our own neighborhoods. Somewhere we will be reminded why natural life is so important because we grow with it! Personally, I am happy that baby birds can put a smile on my face! I struggle for having a small number of “things” in life, and being filled with simple reality — at one with Nature.36．What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1?A．Her favorite season is spring.B．She enjoys doing outdoor sports.C．Her backyard is filled with plum trees.D．She is satisfied with her living environment.37．Why was that day special for the author?A．She took a few photos of the sunset.B．She made a little swan’s mother angry.C．She met some swans and helped one of them.D．She met an old man and made friends with him.38．What kind of person is probably the old man?A．Patient.B．Warm-hearted.C．Selfish.D．Outgoing. 39．What makes us more physically active according to the author?A．Nature.B．The neighborhood.C．The garden.D．The things around.40．It can be inferred from the passage that the author ______.A．is really a nature loverB．is short of some life skillsC．calls on people to help the weakD．transforms her plan into realityHarvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable material inspired by insects' hard outer shells. The material's inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk”. It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic's toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and '60s. Decades later, however, plastic's very durability is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer, and so will enrich the soil.Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they're exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They're also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. They're even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.41．Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shritk's_____.A．remarkable design B．interesting nameC．major features D．basic elements42．What has become a concern about plastic?A．Using it properly.B．Producing it cheaply.C．Developing its properties quickly.D．Evaluating its contributions fairly. 43．According to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because_____.A．it can help plastic degrade B．it can be found in living thingsC．its mass production has been realized D．its raw materials are abundant in mature 44．What are the inventors doing in the lab?A．Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk.B．Testing shrilk's use in wet conditions.C．Making shrilk out of used household goods.D．Improving shrilk's flexibility for medical purposes.45．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Recent Progress in Environmental Protection B．Benefits of Insects in Scientific ResearchC．The Harm of One-time Products D．A Possible Alternative to PlasticThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade.” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing. The relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy(等级)of responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, said, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don’t tell you how wisethey are because they have been living at least 20 years longer than you.”This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughter shave always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of work and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. Sometimes this is not an equal relationship. Daughters don’t always feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. But mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers always “trump” friends.46．What does the underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Differ.B．Benefit.C．Prevent.D．Change. 47．What can we learn from what Marina said?A．Her mother is anything but her best friend.B．Best friends will not remind her of important issues in life.C．Her mother is wiser on account of her age.D．Best friends will not spend money on her wedding.48．Why can a mother and a daughter build a closer relationship according to Paragraph 3?A．Because they share advanced technology with each other.B．Because they work together to support the whole family.C．Because they experience the same values and traditions.D．Because they have common experience in life and work.49．What do we know from the text?A．A mother-daughter relationship can be replaced by friendship.B．A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C．It’s impossible for Marina to develop relationship with her mother.D．A mother-daughter relationship goes beyond best friendship.50．What is the best title for the passage?A．How to Be a Good Mother and DaughterB．Generation Gap between Mother and DaughterC．Can a Mother Be a Daughter’s Best Friend?D．Daughters Be Independent from Mothers四、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

A tall nicely dressed man in his forties was 11 in front of me. What got my attention was not the man, but the huge box of hand-made Belgian 12 that he was carrying. A friend had once brought me a smaller box of these chocolates and they were 13 . But unfortunately, I could not find them in the local stores. I was just 14 where he had bought them, when my voracious(贪吃的)thoughts were 15 by screams coming from an old woman, sitting on the steps of the church.Her clothes were 16 and her face was red from anger and, also 17 years of drinking. She had a small plate with a few 18 in it that she managed to collect that morning. People walking by were glancing and turning their faces ?looking embarrassed and even19 .20 the man, who was ahead of me, walked right up to the old woman and placed the box of chocolates right in her plate and then without saying a word walked away as if 21 had happened.The woman went 22 . She looked at the box, 23 . She slowly shook it, probably to make sure that it is not a joke. She carefully opened the box and 24 these chocolates. Then something 25 happened.She said “Thank you!” to no one in particular and smiled with a smile that completely transformed her face. She was no longer an old drunken lady. She was someone worthy of this 26 gift!This incident has made me think how fast we 27 people by their looks and behavior and how often we decide who deserve our 28 and who will have to go without being respected. Those who look unworthy or behave 29 are the ones who need our sympathy and 30 the most.11．A．walking B．running C．playing D．driving 12．A．toys B．books C．sweets D．chocolates13．A．hard B．delicious C．obvious D．cheap 14．A．informing B．requiring C．wondering D．introducing 15．A．taken in B．taken on C．taken up D．taken away 16．A．clean B．dirty C．new D．special 17．A．successfully B．generally C．probably D．clearly 18．A．coins B．gifts C．drugs D．bags 19．A．surprised B．excited C．bored D．determined 20．A．Briefly B．Luckily C．Usually D．Suddenly 21．A．something B．everything C．nothing D．anything 22．A．silent B．excited C．anxious D．worried 23．A．awkward B．confused C．satisfied D．moved 24．A．ate B．found C．opened D．received 25．A．puzzling B．magical C．worrying D．dangerous 26．A．cheap B．useless C．thought D．beautiful 27．A．recognize B．notice C．judge D．understand 28．A．kindness B．doubt C．blame D．disrespect 29．A．obviously B．specifically C．seriously D．rudely 30．A．appreciation B．understanding C．congratulation D．agreement三、阅读理解After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!31．A good title for this passage is ________.A．Sleep B．Good Health C．Dreams D．Work and Rest 32．The word “drowsy” in the last paragraph means ________.A．sick B．stand up C．a little sleepy D．asleep33．This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you ________.A．dream more often B．have poor healthC．nervous D．breathe quickly34．During REM, ________.A．your eyes move quickly B．you dreamC．you are restless D．both A and B35．The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ________.A．approximately six hours B．around ten hoursC．about eight hours D．not stated hereCrocodiles lay their eggs and leave them under leaves or sand. Crocodiles have special sharp teeth with which to break their way out of the shells.Crocodiles only live where it is hot. They are found in India, Australia, Africa and America. The crocodile’s long powerful tail is used when the animal is swimming. It is also an excellent weapon, because it can be swung with great speed and force. One blow will knock down a man or even a big animal at once. The crocodile is very well protected against its enemies by the hard bony plates which cover most of its body, but because of the way its neck is formed, it cannot turn its head from side to side and so it can only see in front of itself. The crocodile has its teeth cleaned by the crocodile bird. For its food, this bird takes the bits left in the crocodile’s mouth. This helps the crocodile, which cannot clean its own teeth, for it cannot move its tongue up and down. With its rows of terrible sharp teeth it seizes (抓) its food, which may be a fish, an animal, or even a careless man, and then holds it below the water until it drowns.36．We can find crocodiles ________.A．everywhere B．in hot placeC．Africa and America D．Australia37．How are the crocodile’s teeth cleaned?A．The crocodile bird helps them to do it.B．A special fish cleans them.C．Using its tongue.D．Clean water.38．Crocodiles’ eggs are often hidden under ________.A．the tree B．shells C．leaves and sand D．water39．Which sentence is wrong?A．Crocodile can see things all around it.B．Baby crocodiles can help themselves to break their way out of the shells.C．Crocodiles can’t move its tongue up and down.D．A careless man may be seized by crocodile.40．The crocodile does with its food ________.A．above the water B．by his weapon C．under shells D．under waterIt was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn't know enough to really care. My older bother and I lived with Mom in an ugly multifamily house in Detroit. Every night after supper, we'd lie on Mom's bed and stare for hours at the TV screen.But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week and write a report on what you read.”We moaned (不满，发牢骚) and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn't have any books in the house other than Mom's Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I'll drive you to the library.”So pretty soon there were these two peevish (坏脾气的) boys in her Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library.The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers (河狸).For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this virtue visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.It didn't dawn on (明白) me at the time,but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip (快速翻动) of a page.Soon I began to look forward to visiting this quiet sanctuary from my other world. Along the way a funny thing happened:I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn't wait to get home to my books.Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery (儿童神经外科). Sometimes I still can't believe my life's journey ends up to this position, but I know when the journey began.41．We can learn from the beginning of the passage that ________.A．the author did worse in school than his brotherB．the author was old enough to worry about lifeC．the author spent much time watching TV after schoolD．the author lived a poor and miserable life42．How did the two boys feel about going to the library at first?A．They were afraid.B．They were unwilling.C．They were impatient.D．They were eager to go.43．The author began to love books for the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.A．he began to see something in his mindB．he could visualize what he read in his mindC．he could go back to read the books againD．he realized that books offered him new experience44．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．Oldsmobile was a popular TV programB．Chip the Dam Builder was a book about beavers' virtue visit to a riverC．the author made improvements in his study after taking much readingD．the teachers found the author became funny45．Readers may find this story inspiring because ________.A．Mom makes efforts to encourage her children to become somethingB．Mom does not allow watching TV and buys books for her children's developmentC．the children are lost in books and never watch TVD．the children focus on their study to become famous“A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE,” is how Sam Schneider, a manager of Homestead, a new company that provides money to build granny flats, describes the permit process (许可流程) in California. Yet, sitting in his office in Los Angeles, he agrees that the paperwork is getting easier. Granny flats — or Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) (附属居住单元), as Americans call them — have taken off in California and cities around the American West as house prices have risen.An ADU is a flat built in the same place as a single-family home. Owners rent them for money, or house family in them. About 180 cities in California passed ADU laws between 2017 and 2020. Los Angeles gave permits for nearly 6,700 units in 2019, up from about 4,100 in 2018. Seattle passed some 500 in 2020 and 800 in 2021. Tobias Peter of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) views ADUs as one example of “light-touch density (密度)”, which also includes making single-family homes into several units. Such changes may become more common in California thanks to a law passed last year which avoided single-family zoning (将……分区) Things are moving more slowly in cities with strict zoning conditions. Denver allowed just two granny flats in 2010 and 71 in 2019. Many single-family homeowners in Colorado’s capital who want to build an ADU must apply in person to have their place rezoned, which can take months. Permits and building can also be costly and confusing. That is where companies like Homestead come in. As interest in ADUs grows, so does the number of companies wanting to build them.High-density developments are also greener than single-family ones thanks to reduced heating and cooling costs, and shorter commutes (通勤). Adding units to areas near cities allows more people to live close to public bus stops and the places where they would work, reducing air pollution.Granny flats alone will not solve California’s housing crunch, but their popularity is a good sign. “If you create enough housing supplies (供应量),” says Mr Schneider, Los Angeles and SanFrancisco will “become places where people can actually live, and not places where people can only leave.”46．What can be inferred about the ADUs from the first paragraph?A．Sam Schneider’s granny signed her flat to him.B．Homestead is no good at preparing the paperwork.C．The paperwork was more difficult in the past than it is now.D．More and more Americans move to the American West to avoid increasing house prices. 47．How does the writer mainly develop the second paragraph?A．By listing numbers.B．By giving examples.C．By using an expert’s words.D．By explaining the reason and the result. 48．Why are there a growing number of companies dealing in ADUs?A．Because it is not easy to get permits or build an ADU.B．Because they meet the needs of people who want an ADU.C．Because some single-family homeowners don’t know how to apply for an ADU.D．Because it takes experienced companies less time and money to build an ADU. 49．What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A．The advantages of ADUs.B．ADUs’ development.C．A single family’s living costs.D．Cities’ environmental problems. 50．Which of the following best explains the underlined part “housing crunch” in the last paragraph?A．There are no empty houses.B．There are not enough houses.C．There are only newly-built houses.D．There are only houses in the downtown are.Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class who was picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, basketball anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one who was always made fun of in school PE classes in Devonshire, England.It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength (力量).At the age of 18, he won his first long-distance race (长跑比赛).The following year he came across John Ridgway. He was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure (探险) in Scotland, where he learned about Ridgway’s adventures. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could read about the North Pole explorers and adventures, and then decided this would be his future.In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier (滑雪者), Saunders started his first long-distance adventure towards the North Pole. It took him a lot of hard work. He experienced low temperatures, ran into a white bear and challenged his spirit and body, pulling his sled (雪撬) up and over rocky ice.Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change. Next October, Saunders, 27, will head south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.51．What made Ben Saunders change when he was fifteen? (no more than 10 words)52．When did Ben Saunders get first place in a long-distance race for the first time? (no more than 5 words)53．What does the underlined part in Paragraph mean? (no more than 10 words)54．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? (no more than 10 words)55．What do you think of Ben Saunders? Please explain. (no more than 25 words)。

That person was my stepmother.I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father 16 me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is 17 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 18 than tomorrow morning.”My stepmother walked over to me, 19 my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are 20 This is not the worst boy at all, 21 the smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet(释放的途径) for his enthusiasm.”That statement began a(n) 22 between us. No one had ever called me smart. Myfamily and neighbors had built me up in my 23 as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.She changed many things. She 24 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father's career could be more 25 and my brother and I could be better 26 .When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand 27 and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I 28 it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her 29 and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of 30 that great day I went to interview Andrew Camegie and received the task which became my life's work later. I wasn't the 31 beneficiary(受益者). My father became the 32 man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.What power 33 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one's purpose and is 34 strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible(不可抗拒的) force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 35 .You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it.

Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing. I loved it. I soon made friends withthe local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam (横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered — landing tricks, being a good skater.When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear; tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving (穿梭) among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, skidded (滑) up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”“Yeah.” I said. “Safe.”41．What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?A．He was depressed.B．He gave up his hobby.C．He liked the weather there.D．He had disagreements with his family. 42．What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?A．Be careful!B．Well done!C．No way!D．Don’t worry! 43．When the author fell off the beam, Toby came to ________.A．To teach a lesson B．extend his friendlinessC．express his concern D．to comfort and encourage44．Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?A．To join the skateboarding.B．To make new friends.C．To learn more tricks.D．To relive his childhood days.45．What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A．Children should learn a second language.B．Sport is necessary for children’s health.C．Children need a sense of belonging.D．Seeing the world is a must for children.Last year, a popular restaurant released a live stream of a family dining in it, without asking their permission. After finding out what the restaurant was doing, the family showed their objection, but the restaurant ignored it and insisted that they had the right to do it. Moreover, they tried to silence the family, saying that their behavior was damaging the restaurant's image. This event has caused a debate on the violation of privacy and portrait rights by webcasts.It doesn't bother some people when their images are unconsciously recorded by cameras and shown through live streams on different online platforms. They may even enjoy appearing on screens and cooperate with some businesses. In that way, the restaurant can have more public exposure and thus attract more customers, which is their purpose of webcasting. However, others including the family mentioned above, are against it. The family thought that their portrait rights were violated, considering no one had asked if it was okay to use the images of them. They found intolerable that their actions captured by the camera were webcast live to millions of viewers, not to mention the fact that some of them were not so decent. Thus they demanded an apology from restaurant.People may behave in a relaxed way when eating or resting, and they don't want others to see them in this way. Thus, from a legal perspective, if businesses webcast their customers for commercial reasons, they have violated customers portrait rights.Webcasting someone without his or her consent amounts to a violation of portrait rights, which is getting increasingly common these days as cellphone webcasting is growing in popularity for technical convenience, However, public awareness of privacy protection is still falling behind. More should be done to make sure webcasting is developing sustainably, without violating people's legal rights.46．What is the major issue argued in the passage?A．A famous restaurant published a live stream of a family dining in it.B．The family showed their objection to the famous restaurant's webcast.C．The restaurant ignored the objection and insisted they had the right to do it.D．The restaurant claimed that the family was damaging the restaurant's image.47．What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Customers enjoy appearing on screens.B．Customers cooperate with some businesses.C．Customers are shown through live streams online.D．Customers are unconsciously recorded by cameras.48．Which of the following behaviors may violate customers' privacy and portrait rights?A．Businesses webcast customers live according to their agreement.B．Businesses webcast customers for commercial reasons and pay them.C．Businesses webcast customers improper actions with their permission.D．Businesses webcast customers behaving in a relaxed way without informing them. 49．What is the best title for the passage?A．Public awareness of privacy protection is increasingB．A famous restaurant released a live stream of a familyC．How can people behave in a relaxed way when having a restD．A debate on whether webcasts violate privacy and portrait rights50．What is the author's attitude toward webcasts?A．Objective.B．Negative.C．Positive.D．Subjective.When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if wedid not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.51．In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to______.A．become serious about her studyB．go to her friend’s house regularlyC．learn from her classmates at schoolD．share poems and stories with her friend52．In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means ______.A．our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB．we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC．our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD．we parted with each other in London53．According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _______.A．call each other regularlyB．have similar personalitiesC．enjoy writing to each otherD．dream of meeting each other54．In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ______.A．seek professional help B．be left aloneC．stay with her best friend D．break the silence55．What is the best title for the passage?A．Unforgettable ExperiencesB．Remarkable ImaginationC．Lifelong FriendshipD．Noble Companions阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
