并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AWhen I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its problems too.One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising—and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.1. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?A. Staying on the farm.B. Moving to the countryside.C. Leaving home for the city.D. Running away from the school.2. Which of the following is true about the writer?A. He is very old now.B. He is in good health.C. He prefers driving a car.D. He lives in the city now.3. In the passage, the writer tries to __________.A. express his opinions about way of lifeB. describe his life in the countrysideC. show an interest in the outside worldD. persuade the reader to live in the city4. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By inferring.B. By comparing.C. By listing examples.D. By giving explanations.BAbout twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast (对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they looked trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. Fora full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"!5. Who is the author?A. A cameraman.B. .A film director.C. A crowd-scene actor.D. A workman for scene setting.6. What made the author feel cold?A. The heavy snowfall.B. The man-made scene.C. The low temperature.D. The film being shown.7. What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned in the last paragraph?A. A new scene would be filmed.B. More stars would act in the film.C. The author would leave the studio.D. The next scene would be prepared.CCoolest Hotels in the WorldArtau Aragon TowersThe Ariau Amazon Towers hotel lets you sleep in a tree house.

classical music with the opening of a new concert hall in the heart of Hamburg．Germans are incredibly proud of it and it's the first thing I show to my friends when they come to visit．Known as the ‘Elphi' by the locals，the Elbphilharmonie is a beautiful tower of glittering glass sitting atop an old warehouse by the banks of the river Elbe．The plaza （露天广场）is open to the public and from the middle of the city's tallest building，you can gaze across the harbour，miles of rooftops and passing ships below．The main concert hall seats over 2000 people and is one of the most advanced music venues in the world．Two smaller concert halls arc used for jazz，world and contemporary music．In addition，if you're unbelievably rich，you can buy one of the 45 luxurious apartments lying within the building．Construction began in 2007 with a budget of€241 million and a two﹣year period．Fast forward ten years，the building eventually opened with a final price tag of over 800 million!I consider myself very lucky that the Elbphilharmonie opened during my time living in Hamburg，but unfortunately I haven't yet been able to attend a concert．Everything is sold out for six months!For now，I'm content to visit the plaza to enjoy the impressive views over the clocks and see the innovative architecture up close．Hopefully one day soon，I'll be lucky enough to grab a last﹣minute concert

centre．I was already amazed by how different everything looked from the city as the train rushed through small towns，all sitting on the coastline．When we arrived，we were greeted by the sight of a small wind instrument band and abouta dozen people dancing in a circle．While my friend later told me that it is a traditional Catalan dance called La Sardana，at the time I was totally confused at what I was seeing!It seemed so strange but yet so lovely that they were doing this dance completely for themselves．Once we had been fully entertained by the dancers，we finally went inside for the Calatada and it was soon revealed to me what it actually was．We sat down at the table and a huge plate of leeks （大葱）was placed in front of us．It was explained to us that you have to peel the leeks with your fingers，dip them in a （delicious!）sauce and eat them．This sounds easier than it was．My friend had been right in the end，it had been an extremely fun day and it felt great to get involved in a local

well being，but the good human king，that is，one with virtues and values keeps them in the state of working towards the benefit of humanity．How can children absorb within themselves the virtues and values？Well，this is the primary responsibility of parents and other immediate family members，followed by school authorities．The values and virtues of an individual is sown in their childhood and nurtured as they grow up．Depending on the way we bring up our children，we decide our own future．It is vital that in the formative years we give them quality time and attention．We teach them to discriminate the good，bad and the ugly．We have to teach them use positive emotions like love and compassion and teach them actions of kindness and generosity．At the same time we have to help them do

In the Kaiser Poll, 38% say it's the top concern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29% say AIDS is No.1, down from 41% in 1992 and 67% in 1987.Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November:52% say the country is making progress against AIDS, up from 32% in 1995. 51% say the government spends too little on AIDS. 86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives; an equal number correctly say that the drugs are not cures. 67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year; 24% know deaths fell. Daniel Zingale, director of AIDS Action Council, says, "I'm encouraged that the American people are getting the message that the AIDS epidemic isn't over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are getting the same message … We have s een signs of complacency.12. What do activists worry about?A. Recent news about AIDS is not true.B.

People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.11.A good title for this reading passage is______.A. Popeye the SailorB. The Truth About SpinachC.A Mistake with NumbersD. Folic Acid Makes You Strong12. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A. They thought spinach made them strong.B. They thought Popeye was funny.C. Spinach had a lot of iron.D. People liked folic acid.13. A research group told people that spinach______.A. made Popeye strongB. was a green vegetableC. had less iron than other green vegetablesD. had more iron than other green vegetables14.The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.A. ironB. folic acidC. spinachD. exercise15.Folic acid is ______.A. something in foodB. a vegetableC. dangerousD. a certain kind of spinach第二节、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。

He was freed in 1990 and become the president of the country after the first elections were held in which everyone could vote.Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer (拳击手) and fought in the ring when he was young.“ Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat (撤退),” he wrote in his autobiography.As a skilful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS.

their own laws and their own social customs.And yet,people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946.In theory,they should live by the French law.However,their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored or unknown,thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the efforts of aFrenchman from Paris called Gin.Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area,which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest,with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital,Cayenne.“I have a special lo ve for the French Guianese people.I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin.“I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them.Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment.I don’t see it as a lawless land.But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin.“I prefer to work in black and white,which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time.These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for.These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic,which brings with it not only necessary state welfare,but also alcoholism,betrayal and even suicide.4.Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?A.They seldom follow the French law.B.They often ignore the Guianese law.C.They are separated from the modern world.D.They are both Guianese a nd French citizens.5.Gin introduces the special world of the indigenous Guianese as .A.a tour guideB.a geographerC.a film directorD.a photographer6.What is Gin’s attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?A.Cautious.B.Doubtful.C.Uninterested.D.Appreciative.7.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A.The modern French lifestyle.B.The self-supporting hunting.C.The uncivilized world.D.The French Republic.CHelsinki is offering young people the chance to rent a cheap apartment in an old people’s home,if they agree to spend time socialising with the elderly residents.The city council(议会) is seeking applications from renters under the age of 25 who will commit to spending between three and five hours each week with their older neighbours,at a care home in the eastern Laajasalo district.In exchange,they’ll get a studio flat measuring 23 square meters with a private kitchen,bathroom and balcony for 250 euros per month.Currently only three flats are available,but the scheme(方案) is part of a wider effort to deal with a lack of accommodation for young people in the capital.Ordinarily a studio flat costs about 600 euros a month,depending on the area,one local university advises.Those who apply don’t need any specific care experience.“There are staff to look after the elderly,”project manager Miki Mielonen tells Yle.“We are looking for young people who maybe have a different perspective on everyday life,who will bring variety and recreation to the elderly residents.”More than 60 people have applied for the spaces in less than a week,and the ideahas also been widely recognized by Fin ns on social media.“Great project,hopefully it will spread to other areas,”writes one person on the Internet,while another applauds the scheme for bringing different generations together.But some wish it was open to more people,with one user saying:“It’s a shame the flats are so small.It would have been nice if the elderly had a small family with children or a single parent as their neighbour.”And one person has a different opinion about the cut-off age,writing:“Shame I’m too old for this—I would have surely applied.”8.One can probably get the cheap apartment if he .A.reaches the age of 25B.has financial problemsC.promises to accompany the elderlyD.agrees to share it9.Why is the new rent scheme accepted?A.It can benefit both young and old.B.It doesn’t need any professional training.C.The flats are well-equipped.D.Big apartments are in short supply.10.What does the underlined sentence suggest?A.He doesn’t want to grow up.B.He has a chance to apply again.C.He disapproves of the age limit.D.He applies for the flat without hesitation.11.What would be the best title of the text?A.Young Finns offered cheap flats at care homeB.New apartments designed for the elderlyC.A new approach to caring for the oldD.A good chance for the needy familiesDProlonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more peoplelive longer, there are more people around than at any other given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates instead of an increase in birthrates that has led to the population explosion.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of food shortage, babies might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most present societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require peop le to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often “go on welfare” if they have a seriousillness.When older people become too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create serious problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping grounds” for the dying in which “care” is given by poorly-paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel.12. The author believes that the population explosion results from .A. an increase in birthratesB. a decrease in death ratesC. the industrial developmentD. human beings’ cultural advances13. It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures_.A.it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people who could not workB.old people were given the task of passing on the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new generationsC. the survival of babies was less important than that of their parents in times of starvationD. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of the hardships of life14. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in the United States is True?A. When they reach a certain age, they retire and benefit from retirement.B. A minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement.C.With the rising prices, they must suffer more from unbearable burdens than ever.D. Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.15. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward most of the nursing homes and convalescent hospitals?A. Critical.B. Approving.C. Optimistic.D. Sympathetic.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。

Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time th inking about the future that we fail to enjoy the present, for example, getting into college or getting a good job. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems and only think about the activity.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washingthe dishes.5.
