AFrom American Express, wedding guests will，on average，spend $673 on each wedding they attend this year. It includes airfare ($225), hotel ($170), dining out ($116) and dressing up ($95) and the gift. If you have weddings to attend this year, here are some tips for you to avoid breaking the bank.1. Book flights in advanceThe moment you decide to attend a wedding is the time to check flight prices at the best time. Plane fares are higher in the summer, especially in July and August. Booking in advance will save you money, as will watch for sales on lower-cost carriers like JetBlue and Frontier. You can check Google Flights for a calendar of prices showing the cheapest days to fly from apps like Hopper to get real-time alerts when a fare is at its lowest price point.2. Don't blow your budget on the giftIf you've got the money, an expensive gift is lovely. But there's no need to take out loans to prove your love for the happy couple. Skip an expensive necklace by giving (an appropriate amount of) cash instead. To save on the gift, consider making one: A photo album or scrapbook of memories with the bride and groom shows how much you care. You could also share the gift with other guest(s) or even make gifts with DIY ideas by yourself to save money.3. Use old dresses and suitsYou don't always have to be on a new dress for a wedding. While men have the option of repeating their suits, women are more likely to spend money on new clothes for the special occasion. But before you take out your wallet, consider reinventing something already in yourcloset. Belts, colorful scarves, shoes can bring life to any outfit.21. How much does a wedding guest spend on the gift on average?A. $673B. $225C. $67D. $9522. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. People always wear their new clothes at the wedding.B. Men are more likely to wear new clothes to attend a wedding.C. It saves you money to creatively wear old clothes.D. Ladies tend to wear their favorite suits for a wedding.23. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To help people save money while holding their weddings.B. To give some tips on saving money to attend a wedding.C. To introduce general expenses of attending a wedding.D. To state some aspects to be considered while holding weddings.BIt had been a long winter. Bitter cold, snowy days had hit us again and again. On the warmer days there had been little sunshine, but only cold, icy rain. The sun had become such a rare sight that I had to look at a picture of it on my wall calendar from time to time to remember what it looked like. The grass had remained brown and dormant(潜伏的）in the grassland. My own backyard had turned into a muddy mess that tried to steal the shoes right off my feet as I walked on it. My heart ached and longed for spring, and my own good cheer had trouble rising up against the continuous, cold, gray days.The rain poured down on me as I walked my dogs, holding their leashes in my icy fingers. I looked up at the sky hoping to see the sun smiling down with its warm, golden face. But it was no use. It was then, however, that I saw it. It wasn’t the smiling face of the sun in the sky but a little, yellow face peeking(微露出) through the mud. It was a tiny flower, and it filled my heart with hope and joy. I smiled and thanked God for this little sign that winter would soon be over and that spring would arrive. I felt my good cheer rising up at last and I promised God that I would share it with everyone I could.One day that tiny flower’s seeds will fill the grassland with little, yellow faces smiling up from the ground. Its work will make this world a better and more beautiful place. May we all do the same. May we all shine our light and share our love even on the coldest and grayest days. May we all help to share a bit of spring in winter. May we all work to make this world better and brighter even when it is at its darkest.24. Why did the author look at a picture of sun on a wall calendar from time to time?A. Because she hadn’t seen sunshine for a long time.B. Because she wanted to check how long the cold winter would last.C. B ecause she couldn’t go out.D. Because she looked forward to spring.25. The author felt _______ before she found the tiny flower.A. worriedB. angryC. hopefulD. frustrated26. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The tiny flo wer was found in the author’s backyard.B. The tiny flower inspired the author very much.C. The author would share the tiny flower with others.D. The author would never mind the cold weather.27. What can be the best title of the passage?A. A Cold WinterB. A Tiny flowerC. Sharing Makes the WorldD. Hopes Make Our LifeCChinese has overtaken French, Spanish and German to become one of the most promising foreign languages for job seekers in the UK. Research shows graduates in Chinese earn an average yearly salary of 31,000 pounds or more.Chinese students set themselves up for a different university experience from others who take traditional subjects. While an English student may have as little as six hours of a week, those studying Chinese are in class for most of the day.“I had a lot of friends on other courses who didn’t do much in first or second year. You can’t play at Chinese. You have to spend hours and hours writing characters,” says Hannah, who graduated in Chinese Studies from Sheffield University.“The first year was really difficult. Most of my friends admitted at one point to crying because of the pressure. I was almost told at one point that I might want to reconsider and drop out.”So are the evenings in learning characters while your friends are at the student bar really worth it? Despite the painful studying experience, most of the graduates think so. They use Chinese in their chosen careers, and would not have been in the jobs they do now without their knowledge of the language.Liberty now works for the civil service in Beijing. She earned a place on the Department for International Development graduate scheme with a salary of over 30,000 pounds within two years.“The degree was absolutely worth it.Looking around at people I know who have studied French or Spanish at university, there’s not such a chance to use it in the workplace.”Hannah has set her apart in the workplace, but she warns ambitious students to think about whether they would really want to live in China in the future before setting their sights on a profitable career path. “Some people think they are going to learn Chinese and then be a big success, but I think it’s important to be quite realistic about that.”28. What does the underlined phrase “play at” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A. Treat seriouslyB. Learn lazilyC. Talk amusinglyD. Cheat cleverly29. What can you learn from Liberty’s and Hannah’s career experience?A. Chinese degree helped them to find satisfying jobs.B. There are students learning characters at the student bar.C. Graduates with French or Spanish degree have no chance to find jobs.D. By learning Chinese, people are to have a successful career.30. What’s Hannah’s a ttitude to choosing Chinese as a possible career?A. DoubtfulB. IndifferentC. PuzzledD. Objective31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Many foreign college students come to China to seek jobs.B. Some college students consider dropping out Chinese because of its pressure.C. Chinese is difficult and college students should be realistic about choosing it.D. Chinese degree needs painful working, but it is worthy in job seeking.DThe world's oceans are sick, and getting sicker every day. Two new studies show the warming of Earth's atmosphere is removing oxygen from ocean waters.Oxygen is necessary for all life in the oceans, except for a few extremely small organisms. And researchers said oxygen levels are low enough to threaten all the ocean life that depends on it.Denise Breitburg is an ocean scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. She is also a member of the Global Ocean Oxygen Network, a team of scientists organized by the United Nations to study the issue. She told the Associated Press, "If you can't breathe, nothing else matters. That pretty much describes it ."Scientists with the Global Ocean Oxygen Network reported that more than 32 million square kilometers of ocean are low in oxygen. These affected areas reach a depth of about 200 meters. This area is bigger than Africa, the second largest continent. The scientists say the area of low oxygen levels has grown about 16 percent since 1950.The Global Ocean Oxygen Network's report is the widest reaching look at decreasing oxygen levels in the world's seas so far. Lisa Levin is a professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a co-author of the report. In her words, "The low oxygen problem is the biggest unknown climate change consequence out there."Levin said past research had shown low oxygen areas that were the result of agricultural pollution. She said past studies also showed how warmer waters had created a lack of oxygen. But Levin said this latest study shows how both problems are connected by common causes and possible solutions.Co-author Denise Breitburg said that some low oxygen levels in the world's ocean are natural, but not to the extent found. Wind patterns and ocean currents, believed caused by global warming, are preventing oxygen from sinking below the surface of the water. In addition, warmer water does not hold as much oxygen and less oxygen mixes into the water, she said.32. Why are the world’s oceans sick?A. Because the ocean life is sick.B. Because the Earth’s atmosphere is becoming warmer.C. Because the oxygen is being removed from ocean waters.D. Because there is too much oxygen to threaten the ocean life.33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Oxygen being essential to ocean life.B. Oceans being sicker and sicker.C. Oxygen being not enough in the ocean.D. Atmosphere removing oxygen from ocean waters.34. About _______ million square kilometers of ocean are lack of oxygen in 1950.A. 32B. 27.6C. 37D. 20035. From the passage we can learn that_______.A. all life in the ocean depends on oxygen to liveB. oxygen levels in the ocean are likely to climbC. air pollution leads to low oxygen levels in oceansD. cold water holds more oxygen than warm water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。

AIf you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goe s out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike —goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, youcan set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.1. The Tile app can help you .A. find your missing itemsB. use your phone more wiselyC. save your phone’s battery powerD. connect something to your phone2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.B. One smartphone can only be linked up to one Tile.C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.3. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A. What the Tile app is.B. How the Tile app works.C. The advantages of the Tile app.D. Why the Tile app was invented.4. Where does this passage probably come from?A. A science fiction novel.B. An advertisement.C. A personal diary.D. A news report.BThe island of Port Cros is in the south of France. I first visitedit about ten years ago with my wife. I had read that it was a magical place and it seemed fascinating (迷人的), but I couldn’t believe that it was true. In fact, it was much more magical than the tourist brochures (指南) had said.The island is mountainous and covered in trees. The water around the island is transparent like glass. When I first visited it, there was mist rising from the trees. The little harbor looked mysterious and remote: tall palm trees, a few shops and restaurants, no cars, motorcycles or bikes.It is not by chance that the island has kept its natural beauty. Once, it was privately owned and the owners always wanted to keep it in its natural state. In 1963, Port Cros became a national park. The park directors made some rules to protect the island. They didn’t allow any new building projects. There is only one hotel and no camping is allowed. Vi sitors can’t use mountain bikes or smoke on the island. Sailing boats that visit the island mustn’t damage the bottom of the sea or pollute the water around it.When we arrived, we started walking to the beach of Port-Man, which was the furthest beach from the port. It took us two hours and when we arrived, the beach was deserted. It seemed that we were the only people on the island. Time seemed to stop. It was so beautiful that we stayed there all day. I visited there again last summer. Nothing had changed. The island still looked magical and mysterious, still with few tourists. It must be wonderful to stay the night on the island, I thought. After all the visitors have gone, the island must be so quiet—a real paradise (天堂)!5. The author got to know Port Cros at first due to _____.A. some tourist brochuresB. his wife’s introductionC. his first visit thereD. some TV programs6. How has the natural beauty of the island been kept according to the text?A. Foreign visitors are not allowed to visit it.B. Nothing has been built in the park there.C. Only bikes can be used on the island.D. Sailing boats mustn’t pollute the water.7. When the author first visited Port Cros, _____.A. it was very sunnyB. there were few visitors thereC. it took them a whole day to walk to Port-ManD. the island was deserted and he stayed there for a whole nightCCamp Jano IndiaCelebrate Indian culture, languages, arts, festivals and literature.

A very unique and memorable (难忘的) experience that kids will want to repeat! Mornings are spent with the Hindi language at the child’s level. Afternoons provide the cultural elements taught in an interactive style with special emphasis (重点) on drama.Bay Language AcademyWe invite campers (4-12 years old) to travel and open up doors to explore past and recent civilizations through daily field trips.

Art and music.DOn Sunday, August 24th, comic book lovers across the world held their breath to watch how much crazy collectors would pay for a rare Superman comic book. Though bids (出价) above the initial asking price of 1 million dollars had been coming in gradually since the copy was placed on the auction site (拍卖网站) eBay on July 14th, things really started to heat up during the final minutes when the price jumped from $2.5 to $2.6 and then $2.7 million, before shooting up to unbelievable 3,207,852 dollars!This of course was no ordinary Superman comic book, but an edition of the extremely sought-after (很吃香地) No. 1 of Action Comics series — the first publication of the superhero that was born from the creative minds of teenagers Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. Though Action Comics No. 1, which depicted a diaper-clad baby Superman lifting furniture, had a print run of 200,000 copies, only about 100 are known to exist today.While the rarity is certainly a reason for the high price, Stephen Fisher, CEO of , thinks it also has a lot to do with the fact that Superman was the world’s first superhero! Even so, none of the copies have been able to fetch (售得) as much as the most recent one, simply because they have not been as well-preserved. Graded a rare 9 out of 10 by CGC, a third party grading service for comic books, the book is the highest rated copy of Action Comics No. 1 so far. According to CGC officials, the 76-year-old comic book looks and feels as though it has just come off the newsstand (报摊).That is not surprising given that the original owner, a Virginian man who bought the book for only 10 cents in 1938, had carefully tucked it away (藏起来) in a wooden box for four decades. Fortunately, when he passed away, the book was bought by a string of collectors who all realized it was a rare treasure that needed to be looked after.Before this, the highest price paid for an Action Comics No.1 had been $2 million for a copy sold by Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage in 2011. Ironically, the two teenagers responsible for creating Superman received just 130 dollars when they sold the rights to the superhero to comic book publisher Detective Comics in 1938.12. When the Superman comic book was placed on eBay on July 14th, .A. it attracted no attention at allB. things started to heat up immediatelyC. the bid price didn’t go up very quickly at firstD. people thought it was worth millions of dollars13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why the comic book is well-preserved.B. Why the comic book is well worth reading.C. Why the comic book is worth so much money.D. Why the comic book has drawn so much attention.14. When the other collectors got the comic book after the Virginian man, they .A. all took very good care of itB. all liked reading it very muchC. didn’t believe it was worth a fortuneD. all kept it in the same way as that man15. What do we know about the creators of Superman?A. They didn’t want to sell the rights to a comic bookpublisher.B. They knew all along Superman would be the most successful comic book.C. They were professional comic book writers when they created Superman.D. They didn’t make much money from creati ng Superman.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。

AIn fairy tales,it's usually the princess that needs protecting.At Google in Silicon Valley,the princess is the one defending the castle.Parisa Tabriz is a 31-year-old with perhaps the most unique job title in engineering-“Google Security Princess”.Her job is to hack into the most popular web browser （浏览器）on the planet,trying to find weaknesses in the system before the “black hats”do.To defeat Google's attackers,Tabriz must firstly think like them.Tabriz's role has evolved dramatically in the eight years since she first started working at Google.Back then,the young graduate from Illinois University was one of 50security engineers---today there are over 500.Cybercrime （网络犯罪）has come a long way in the past decade -from the Nigerian Prince Scam to credit card theft.Tabriz's biggest concern now is the people who find bugs in Google's software,and sell the information to governments or criminals.To fight against this,the company has set up a VulnerabilityRewards Program,paying anywhere from $100to $20,000for reported mistakes.It's a world away from Tabriz's computer-free childhood home in Chicago.The daughter of anIranian-American doctor father,and Polish-American nurse mother,Tabriz had little contact with computers until she started studying engineering at college.Gaze across a line-up of Google security staff today and you'll find women like Tabriz are few and far between （稀少的）---though in the last few years she has hired more female tech geniuses.She admits there's an obvious gender disequilibrium in Silicon Valley.Funnily enough,during training sessions Tabriz first asks new colleagues to hack into not a computer,but a vending machine.Tabriz's job is as much about technological know-how （专门知识）as understanding the psychology of attackers.21.What can we learn about Tabriz from the passage?A.She was the first female engineer at Google.B.She must think differently so as to defeat the attackers.C.Her job relates to not only technology but also psychology.D.Her frequent contact with computers in childhood benefits her a lot.22.Why has Google set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program?A.To protect Google against cybercrime.B.To monitor the normal operation of Google.C.To help the government locate the cybercriminals.D.To raise people's awareness of personal information safety.23.What does the underlined word “disequilibrium”in Paragraph 4refer to?A.Imbalance.B.Preference.C.Difference.D.Discrimination.24.Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?A.What leads to cybercrimeB.The “Security Princess”who guards GoogleC.Measures taken by Google to protect its usersD.How to become an excellent security engineerBThe English have a difficult and,generally speaking,dysfunctional (怪异的)relationship withclothes.Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules,and are unable to get along without them.This helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly,but with specific areas of excellence,such as high-class men’s suits,ceremonial costumes,and innovative (革新的)street fashion.In other words,we English dress best when we are “in uniform”.You may be surprised that I am including “innovative street fashion”in the category of the uniform.此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号Surely the parrot-haired punks(朋克摇滚乐迷)or the Victorian vampire goths are being original,not following rules?It’s true that they all look different and eccentric(古怪的)but in fact they all look eccentric exactly in the same way.They are wearing a uniform.The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen,who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she likes,a kind of 1950s fashion,with no regard for anyone else’s opinion.However,it is true that the styles invented by young English people are much more eccentric than any other nation’s street fashion.We may not be individually eccentric,apart from the Queen,but we have a sort of collective eccentricity,and\ye appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.Another“rule”of behavior I had discovered was that it is very important for the English not to take themselves too seriously,to be able to laugh at themselves.However,it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.The goths,in their scary black costumes,certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously. But when I got into conversation with them,I discovered that they too had a sense of humor.I was once chatting to a goth in the full vampire costume—with a white face,deep purple lipstick,and black parrot-hair.I saw he was also wearing a T-shirt with“Goth”.“Why are you wearing that?”I asked.“In case you don’t realize I’m a goth.”he answered,pretending to be serious.We both burst out laughing.25.What can we know about the English people?A.They need rules to dress well.B.They are in need of uniforms.C.They are creative in general.D.They lead the world trend.26.Who is individually eccentric in dressing?A.A high-class man.B.A parrot-haired punk.C.The Queen.D.The fashion innovator.27.Which of the following can best describe the goths?A.They dress badly.B.They dress in an amusing way.C.They are unable to laugh at the way they dress.D.They are less fashionable than the other English people.28.What may be the best title for the text?A.How the English DressB.How the English Admire FashionC.Why the English Like UniformsD.Why the English Are Eccentric in DressCNot long ago,people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old.Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment.They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes.A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers.This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.One study shows that babies can learn before they are born.The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman.Then,they played a recording of a short story.On the day the baby was born,the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother.They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way.If the baby moved his mouth the other way,he would hear a different story.The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born.They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years.The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers.The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere(干预)unnecessarily.They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old.Also,the researchers observed the women for signs of depression.The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression.The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people.The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children.Children did better when their mothers were caring,even when they suffered from depression. 29.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?A.The environment.B.Their peersC.Mother’s sensitivitycation before birth30.What is the purpose of the experiment in which newborn babies heard the stories?A.To prove that babies can learn on the first day they are bornB.To show mothers can strongly influence intelligence development in their babiesC.To indicate early education has a deep effect on the babies’language skillsD.To prove that babies can learn before they are born31.Which group of children did the worst in tests of language skills?A.The children of women who did not suffer from depressionB.The children of depressed but caring mothersC.The children of depressed mothers who cared little for their childrenD.Children with high communication abilities32.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Scientific findings about how intelligence develops in babiesB.Scientific findings about how babies develop before birthC.Scientific findings about how time has an effect on babies’intelligenceD.A study shows babies are not able to learn things until they are five or six months oldDOver seven months have passed since Panamanian officials launched an expansion of the world famous Panama Canal.Officials agreed to the expansion so that many of the world’s largest cargo ships(货船)could easily pass through the canal.Yet the$5.25-billion project has problems.It says ships still continue to rub against the canal’s walls and wear out its defenses designed to protect both shipping and the waterway.A dangerous systemThe canal links two oceans-the Atlantic and the Pacific-through a system of locks(船闸).The locks are like steps.They raise and lower ships from one part of the waterway to another on their trip from ocean to ocean.With the old locks,which are still in use,large ships would be tied to powerful engines on both sides.These engines help to keep the ships in the center of the canal.In the new locks,the ships are tied to tugboats(拖船).One tugboat is tied to the front of the ship,with the other tied to the back.These boats then guide the ships through the canal.At first,pilots of the cargo ships and tugboat operators would sometimes try to rub the boats against the canal walls as a way to keep the ships straight.But this caused damage to rubber padding(垫料)lining the walls.Not enough trainingEven before the expanded canal opened in June2016,tugboat operators had expressed concern about the new system.Many asked for more training.The fears and dangers remain,although the boats are going through.The Panama Canal Authority reports that,between June2016and January2017,there were only15 incidents that resulted in damage to locks or ships.That represents about2percent of the700times ships that have sailed through the expanded canal.Pilots have argued they should be replaced with a system of floating bumpers(减震)like those used in some European locks.Officials say they plan to continue operating with the current system of defenses, but changes could happen in the future.33.What is the difference between the new locks and the old ones?A.The old locks don’t need rubber padding as defenses.B.The new locks need tugboats tied to both sides of the ships.C.The new locks are easier for the largest ships to pass through the canal.D.The old locks need powerful engines to drag the ships through the canal.34.What is the Panama Canal Authority’s attitude towards the expanded canal?A.Cautious.B.Critical.C.Positive.D.Doubtful.35.What can we learn about the current system of defenses?A.No ships shall rub against the canal walls to protect it.B.Nothing will be done at present to improve it.C.More training will be given to pilots for it.D.A new system will replace it.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Fitness tools and tips can help individuals develop an exercise plan that is not only safe but helps them to work toward a certain goal such as weight loss or running a marathon.Consult Your DoctorBefore beginning the weight loss or exercise program,it is best to consult(咨询) your doctor to make sure that you are in proper health and that there are no possible conditions that could get worse by exercise. Ask your doctor to recommend exercises based on your fitness level that will help you achieve your goals.Set Goals and LimitsWhen beginning a fitness program, it is important to start off slow and work toward a more advanced goal.

BDaniel Boone was born in the United States in 1734. He didn't go toschool and couldn't read, although he learned all about the forests, streams and hunting. He could move silently like an Indian leaving no marks. He loved to live alone in the woods where nothing frightened him.When he grew up, he married and tried to settle down on a farm. Ayear later, however, he wasn't satisfied and decided to go into the unknown western lands, crossing the Appalachian Mountains. When he returned after two years, he became famous for his long journey. He brought valuable animal skins and told stories about the Indians.After this, he chose to keep travelling to unknown places. Once helost to the Indians in battle and was taken away. The Indians liked him and became his friends. Daniel Boone died at the age of 86. He is remembered as an explorer(探险者)and a pioneer wholived an exciting life in the early years of American nation.4.Daniel Boone's early life was mainly spent in ______ .A.learning about natureB.hunting with his friendsC.learning useful skills from the IndiansD.studying at home because he couldn't go to school5. When he got married, Daniel Boone first planned to ______.A. set up a large farmB.go on a journey with his wifeC. find food, new land for his farmD.live a peaceful life with his family6. Daniel Boone became famous because ______ .A.he travelled a lot in the western landsB.he was very good at telling storiesC.he found better animal skins than othersD.he was the first to climb the Appalachian Mountains7. In this article, Daniel Boone is best described as ______ .A. warm-heartedB.strongC.carefulD.braveCI love to read before I go to sleep. It usually makes me feel calm. But a big part of this depends on what I read. I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons. Very often I’m smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress. Before we go to sleep, we may run over the day in our minds, and worry about tomorrow. We also may watch the news on TV, the news on our smart phones or tablets, or even answer work emails. But the news is rarely proclaiming (宣告) all the things that are happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we’re still at work. All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night. I sometimes read novels but, with the odd exception, I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it’s something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating, when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure that I get a peaceful sleep. Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.I’d suggest you find light-hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime,especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time,or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day. It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh, then you may feel even better. Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain. It strengthens the immune system, it’s good for the heart, and it is most definitely good for mental health. It even helps us improve our relationships. And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons, I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.8.What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?A.They make people run over the past days.B.They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C.They are extremely popular with young people.D.They make people feel relaxed and happy.9.What can we know from the text?A.Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author’s favorite books.B.A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C.The author sometimes reads something about inspiration.D.Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.10.What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?A.What material brings us laughter.B.How laughter affects our health.C.What benefits laughter brings to us.D.Why laughter is good for us.11.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B.To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C.To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D.To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.DPollution’s serious effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years. Most scientists agree that efforts are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.As we know, the construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution. So green buildings are in great need.The environmental benefits of green buildings include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity (生物多样性),improved air and water quality, less waste flowing into streams and the protection of natural resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality, improving the health of people who live there.The process of building green houses includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind. Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw. In addition, recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings, reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.Careful site selection is important to minimize (使减少到最低限度) human effects on the surrounding environment. For example, placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes (微风) and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses. More energy and expenses are needed for larger buildings as well, so it is important to build the small ones.Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and costs. These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants, which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low, prevent water running off and deal with pollutants. Other features of green buildings often include energy and water protection, recycling and waste reduction. In addition, renewable energy sources such as solar power, water power and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the influence on the environment.12.What can we know about green buildings?A.Producing no waste.B.Only using clean energy.C.Being made of new materials.D.Being environment-friendly.13. What is a green building probably like according to the fifth paragraph?A. Large.B. Small.C. Green.D. Low.14. What is the purpose of using green roofs?A.To fit the environment.B.To keep warm.C.To collect nature water.D.To reduce costs.15. What is the text mainly about?A. Promoting energy efficiency.B. Environmental benefits.C. Green buildings.D. Ecosystems and biodiversity.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）How to avoid a boring conversationWhat excuses should you use to avoid talking to people you don’t want to talk to? Here are tips and in offensive ways to get out of unwanted conversations.1.Go for a refill (续杯).It is natural for anyone at a party to be excused to get a refill.16And once you excuse yourself, make a move fast before the person requests you to get a refill for him as well.2. Pretend bad mood.Cut off the conversation before it starts by saying something along the lines of “I’m not in a good mood. Can I talk to you later if you don’t mind?17Say it firmly so that people get the message loud and clear.3. Ask your friend to save you.18Simply text your friend and ask him or her to come for apparently something important. You will be able to skip a boring chat with a seemingly reasonable excuse.4. 19You are advised to look away from that person and don’t make eye contact, so that you can give powerful hints (暗示) that you find the conversation extremely boring. 20Be sure to tune in to the conversation every now and then so you don’t come across as rude.A. Behave in an obviously careless way.B. Just be sure that the person you are talking to does not offer to accompany you to do so.C. Don’t act too polite in an attempt to draw sympathy.D.

benefits for the brain,in rats at least."This is an animal study,but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important一not just for physical development,but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive（认知的）development during ageing,"says Martin Wojtowicz of the University of Toronto,Canada."In humans,it may delay the appearance of Alzheimer's symptoms（阿兹海默氏症）,possibly to the point of preventing them."Wojtowicz's team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups,and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks.Around four months later—when the rats had reached middle age—the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box.When placed in the box,they froze with fear.Two weeks later,the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room,the same box with the room arranged differently,and a completely different box in a different room.The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations,suggesting they couldn't remember which one was dangerous.But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.“The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we're young,at least for rats,has influence on brain and cognitive health—in the form of better memories—when we're older,"says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston,who has found that,in humans,exercise promotes the growth of new brain cells.32.The study shows that______.A.physical activity is important for physical healthing the running wheels is of benefit to the rats' growthC.physical activity can prevent human's Alzheimer's symptomsD.the more exercise a rat has when young,the better memory it will possess when older33.How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes.B.By giving an example.C.By describing the process.D.By showing differences.34.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Exercise.B.Development.C.Benefit.D.Study.35.What is the author's attitude towards the animal study?A.Negative.B.Objective.C.Critical.D.Doubtful.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。

AFrom American Express, wedding guests will，on average，spend $673 on each wedding they attend this year. It includes airfare ($225), hotel ($170), dining out ($116) and dressing up ($95) and the gift. If you have weddings to attend this year, here are some tips for you to avoid breaking the bank.1. Book flights in advanceThe moment you decide to attend a wedding is the time to check flight prices at the best time. Plane fares are higher in the summer, especially in July and August. Booking in advance will save you money, as will watch for sales on lower-cost carriers like JetBlue and Frontier. You can check Google Flights for a calendar of prices showing the cheapest days to fly from apps like Hopper to get real-time alerts when a fare is at its lowest price point.2. Don't blow your budget on the giftIf you've got the money, an expensive gift is lovely. But there's no need to take out loans to prove your love for the happy couple. Skip an expensive necklace by giving (an appropriate amount of) cash instead. To save on the gift, consider making one: A photo album or scrapbook of memories with the bride and groom shows how much you care. You could also share the gift with other guest(s) or even make gifts with DIY ideas by yourself to save money.3. Use old dresses and suitsYou don't always have to be on a new dress for a wedding. While men have the option of repeating their suits, women are more likely to spend money on new clothes for the special occasion. But before you take out your wallet, consider reinventing something already in yourcloset. Belts, colorful scarves, shoes can bring life to any outfit.21. How much does a wedding guest spend on the gift on average?A. $673B. $225C. $67D. $9522. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. People always wear their new clothes at the wedding.B. Men are more likely to wear new clothes to attend a wedding.C. It saves you money to creatively wear old clothes.D. Ladies tend to wear their favorite suits for a wedding.23. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To help people save money while holding their weddings.B. To give some tips on saving money to attend a wedding.C. To introduce general expenses of attending a wedding.D. To state some aspects to be considered while holding weddings.BIt had been a long winter. Bitter cold, snowy days had hit us again and again. On the warmer days there had been little sunshine, but only cold, icy rain. The sun had become such a rare sight that I had to look at a picture of it on my wall calendar from time to time to remember what it looked like. The grass had remained brown and dormant(潜伏的）in the grassland. My own backyard had turned into a muddy mess that tried to steal the shoes right off my feet as I walked on it. My heart ached and longed for spring, and my own good cheer had trouble rising up against the continuous, cold, gray days.The rain poured down on me as I walked my dogs, holding their leashes in my icy fingers. I looked up at the sky hoping to see the sun smiling down with its warm, golden face. But it was no use. It was then, however, that I saw it. It wasn’t the smiling face of the sun in the sky but a little, yellow face peeking(微露出) through the mud. It was a tiny flower, and it filled my heart with hope and joy. I smiled and thanked God for this little sign that winter would soon be over and that spring would arrive. I felt my good cheer rising up at last and I promised God that I would share it with everyone I could.One day that tiny flower’s seeds will fill the grassland with little, yellow faces smiling up from the ground. Its work will make this world a better and more beautiful place. May we all do the same. May we all shine our light and share our love even on the coldest and grayest days. May we all help to share a bit of spring in winter. May we all work to make this world better and brighter even when it is at its darkest.24. Why did the author look at a picture of sun on a wall calendar from time to time?A. Because she hadn’t seen sunshine for a long time.B. Because she wanted to check how long the cold winter would last.C. B ecause she couldn’t go out.D. Because she looked forward to spring.25. The author felt _______ before she found the tiny flower.A. worriedB. angryC. hopefulD. frustrated26. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The tiny flo wer was found in the author’s backyard.B. The tiny flower inspired the author very much.C. The author would share the tiny flower with others.D. The author would never mind the cold weather.27. What can be the best title of the passage?A. A Cold WinterB. A Tiny flowerC. Sharing Makes the WorldD. Hopes Make Our LifeCChinese has overtaken French, Spanish and German to become one of the most promising foreign languages for job seekers in the UK. Research shows graduates in Chinese earn an average yearly salary of 31,000 pounds or more.Chinese students set themselves up for a different university experience from others who take traditional subjects. While an English student may have as little as six hours of a week, those studying Chinese are in class for most of the day.“I had a lot of friends on other courses who didn’t do much in first or second year. You can’t play at Chinese. You have to spend hours and hours writing characters,” says Hannah, who graduated in Chinese Studies from Sheffield University.“The first year was really difficult. Most of my friends admitted at one point to crying because of the pressure. I was almost told at one point that I might want to reconsider and drop out.”So are the evenings in learning characters while your friends are at the student bar really worth it? Despite the painful studying experience, most of the graduates think so. They use Chinese in their chosen careers, and would not have been in the jobs they do now without their knowledge of the language.Liberty now works for the civil service in Beijing. She earned a place on the Department for International Development graduate scheme with a salary of over 30,000 pounds within two years.“The degree was absolutely worth it.Looking around at people I know who have studied French or Spanish at university, there’s not such a chance to use it in the workplace.”Hannah has set her apart in the workplace, but she warns ambitious students to think about whether they would really want to live in China in the future before setting their sights on a profitable career path. “Some people think they are going to learn Chinese and then be a big success, but I think it’s important to be quite realistic about that.”28. What does the underlined phrase “play at” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A. Treat seriouslyB. Learn lazilyC. Talk amusinglyD. Cheat cleverly29. What can you learn from Liberty’s and Hannah’s career experience?A. Chinese degree helped them to find satisfying jobs.B. There are students learning characters at the student bar.C. Graduates with French or Spanish degree have no chance to find jobs.D. By learning Chinese, people are to have a successful career.30. What’s Hannah’s a ttitude to choosing Chinese as a possible career?A. DoubtfulB. IndifferentC. PuzzledD. Objective31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Many foreign college students come to China to seek jobs.B. Some college students consider dropping out Chinese because of its pressure.C. Chinese is difficult and college students should be realistic about choosing it.D. Chinese degree needs painful working, but it is worthy in job seeking.DThe world's oceans are sick, and getting sicker every day. Two new studies show the warming of Earth's atmosphere is removing oxygen from ocean waters.Oxygen is necessary for all life in the oceans, except for a few extremely small organisms. And researchers said oxygen levels are low enough to threaten all the ocean life that depends on it.Denise Breitburg is an ocean scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. She is also a member of the Global Ocean Oxygen Network, a team of scientists organized by the United Nations to study the issue. She told the Associated Press, "If you can't breathe, nothing else matters. That pretty much describes it ."Scientists with the Global Ocean Oxygen Network reported that more than 32 million square kilometers of ocean are low in oxygen. These affected areas reach a depth of about 200 meters. This area is bigger than Africa, the second largest continent. The scientists say the area of low oxygen levels has grown about 16 percent since 1950.The Global Ocean Oxygen Network's report is the widest reaching look at decreasing oxygen levels in the world's seas so far. Lisa Levin is a professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a co-author of the report. In her words, "The low oxygen problem is the biggest unknown climate change consequence out there."Levin said past research had shown low oxygen areas that were the result of agricultural pollution. She said past studies also showed how warmer waters had created a lack of oxygen. But Levin said this latest study shows how both problems are connected by common causes and possible solutions.Co-author Denise Breitburg said that some low oxygen levels in the world's ocean are natural, but not to the extent found. Wind patterns and ocean currents, believed caused by global warming, are preventing oxygen from sinking below the surface of the water. In addition, warmer water does not hold as much oxygen and less oxygen mixes into the water, she said.32. Why are the world’s oceans sick?A. Because the ocean life is sick.B. Because the Earth’s atmosphere is becoming warmer.C. Because the oxygen is being removed from ocean waters.D. Because there is too much oxygen to threaten the ocean life.33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Oxygen being essential to ocean life.B. Oceans being sicker and sicker.C. Oxygen being not enough in the ocean.D. Atmosphere removing oxygen from ocean waters.34. About _______ million square kilometers of ocean are lack of oxygen in 1950.A. 32B. 27.6C. 37D. 20035. From the passage we can learn that_______.A. all life in the ocean depends on oxygen to liveB. oxygen levels in the ocean are likely to climbC. air pollution leads to low oxygen levels in oceansD. cold water holds more oxygen than warm water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。
