This story took place a long time ago. But it has been repeated time and time again. Everyone is moved by the true story.
An old man was knocked down by a car and was taken to hospital. He was badly hurt, and during his few returns to consciousness（知觉）, he repeatedly called for his son.
None knew where his son was. A dirty letter was found in his pockets. The nurse learned that his son was a soldier in North Carolina.
The hospital called the Red Cross office to find the young man. The young soldier was rushed to the airport in time to catch the plane.
It was evening when the young soldier walked into the hospital. A nurse took him to the bedsides of the old man.
“Your son is here,”she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before t he old man’s eyes opened. He dimly saw the young man and got great comfort. He reached out his hand. The soldier held the old man’s hand and offered words of hope.
All through the night the young soldier sat beside the bed. The nurse offered to watch instead of him for a while, he refused.
At dawn the old man died. The nurse started to comfort him but the soldier asked her,“Who was that old man?”“He was your father,”she answered.“No, he wasn’t. I never saw him before. I knew right away there was a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn’t here. I realized I was needed. So I stayed.”

We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, a new research has claimed.
The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months, at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.
The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school, with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via（通过）Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.
Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says: “It is no coincidence（巧合）that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.”
Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving,
while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends.
With growing pressures being put on friendship these days, it's important to make time for our friendship.
23．How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via Facebook?
A．4.B．12.
C．18. D．22.
24．In Paragraph 5, the author is trying to tell the readers ________.
A．how important making friends is
B．that friendship is not easy to keep
C．how much has been done to keep friendship
D．that friendship at school is important
25．The underlined phrase “drift away from” in Paragraph 6 means “________”．
A．make sense of B．lose touch with
C．feel sorry for D．make up with
26．This passage is most probably taken from ________.
A．Facebook or Twitter B．an advertisement
C．a newspaper D．a textbook
D
As a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn't find the chimps' （黑猩猩）tea parties funny, nor the bird shows interesting. Feeding time for seals （海豹）was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus （马戏团）.
And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts — men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.
Happily, during my lifetime, public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have developed.
When my children were young, I used to take them to our local zoo. The elephants were in small cages and the gorillas（大猩猩）looked bored as they sat eating bananas and looking at the visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal's name and where it came from. But, back then,
there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced.
As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose（反对）zoos. “Animals belong in the wild，” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animal s themselves prefer?
Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But — you may say — they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn't so bad.
Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, because of the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA's approval（批准）to operate, and this organization sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organizes the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.
As a result, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable environment and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course it's no substitute（替代品）for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn't always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?
27.The passage is mainly about ________.
A．how zoos have improved B．whether a zoo should be closed down
C．a new environmental organization D．the difference between zoos and circuses
28．From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals________.
A．had much shorter lives than those in the wild
B．were not treated well by their trainers
C．should have been placed in zoos
D．were not as intelligent as those in zoos
29．Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA?
A．Organizing animal study projects and training zoo workers.
B．Checking zoo conditions and organizing animal exchanges.
C．Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.
D．Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.
30．Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with?
A．Zoo animals should be freed into the wild.
B．Zoos are more popular now than in the past.
C．Zoo animals are more restricted（限制）than in the past.
D．Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals.

说明：本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。

满分120分，考试时间100分钟。

答案写在答题卡上，交卷时只交答题卡。

第Ⅰ卷
第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分30分)
第一节(共10小题:每小题2分,满分20分)阅读短文,从A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A
A bright yellow “M” tells you that it’s a McDonald’s restaurant; we also associate the cheerful theme tune “I’m Lovin’ It” with the famous US fast food.
A brand’s music has a similar effect on its customers as its logo. “It appeals directly to the heart, where consumers’ decisions are really made,” wrote Ma rketing Week.
This is probably why companies from around the world have recently focused more on building a “sonic (声音的) identity”.
An example is the software company Tencent QQ. Since 2014, this Chinese company has been trying to trademark (申请商标权) its “Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-Di” notification sound. The trademark was finally approved on Nov 15, which means that Tencent’s “Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-Di” notification sound is now protected by law and can only be used by QQ.
Sound and music can also help tell stories. In Game of Thrones (《权力的游戏》) there are so many characters that it is difficult to memorize them all. So, they wrote melodies (旋律) specific to each family. The result is that characters do not only look familiar, but sound familiar too.
“I think a huge reason why sound inspires action is that, on an unconscious level, we are always listening,” Lauren Nagel, executive creative director at Pandora Media, told GeoMarketing. “You can close your eyes, but you can’t shut your ears.”
1. What is the influence of a brand’s musi c, according to Marketing Week?
A. It creates a relaxing environment.
B. It helps to get customers’ attention.
C. It makes the brand better known.
D. It encourages consumers to make quick decisions.
2. The example of Tencent QQ is mainly used to show ______.
A. how companies value their sounds and music
B. the importance of trademark protection
C. the lasting impact of a brand’s music
D. what makes a good notification sound
3. How does music help Game of Thrones?
A. It helps to create more impressive scenes.
B. It tells about the characters’ personalities.
C. It suggests that important things are coming.
D. It makes the characters easier to remember.
B
Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life – wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.
But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.
In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.
“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (使……敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.”
But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational.
In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations(文明), rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. How ever, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.
4. What do we know about Liu Cixin?
A. He became a full-time writer when he was young.
B. He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.
C. He is the first Asian to win the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
D. He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.
5. Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ______.
A. his interest in mysteries of the universe
B. his love of reading science fiction
C. his confusion when he started writing
D. his feeling after reading Clarke’s work
6. Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth?
A. To compare the different writing styles in the two books.
B. To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.
C. To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.
D. To prove that Liu Cixin’s works relate science to reality.
7. What’s the text mainly about?
A. Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style.
B. Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction.
C. How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer.
D. How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style.
C
Giving generously and receiving gratefully make it easier to live happily with others. Yet, why do we have such difficulty accomplishing these things in our relationships? I think people refuse to be generous with others because they fear being used.
For example, my husband and I have family members who only contact us when they need money. We usually accept their requests, but we rarely receive a “thank you”. Most people would s ay that my husband and I are being used. But when we give, we shouldn’t be giving for the purpose of getting gratitude. Rather, we should be giving because it’s a good thing to do.
Everything that we have, from our ability to wake up each morning to the money in our bank account, is a gift from the world. In return, the world asks us to use these gifts to help others, either by giving them our time or our resources. The good news is that when we live our lives being nice to others, our lives run more smoothly.
If you’re generous, yes, some people will use you. But if you practice being generous, most of your relationships will improve. And at the same time, we should remember to receive gratefully. I truly believe that you cannot say “thank you” enough.
So often we get lazy about expressing gratitude. Parents can feel unappreciated by their children, and teachers can feel unappreciated by their students. Just because a task is part of someone’s job description doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t thank them for i t.
Words of appreciation make others feel good about themselves like nothing else. It’s good for us to say “thank
you” because we often need to tell ourselves how lucky we are.
If you are looking for a way to improve your life, I can give you one: Give generously and receive gratefully.
8. The author mentions her family members in the article mainly to explain ______.
A. why we should give even if we feel we are being used
B. why people have trouble expressing gratitude
C. what makes people refuse to offer help
D. why it’s necessary to express gratitude
9. According to the author, why should we be grateful to those who help us?
A. It can bring us good luck.
B. Words of gratitude make people happy.
C. It’s not other people’s duty to help us.
D. All we normally get are gifts from the world.
10. The author wrote this article mainly to ______.
A. tell the importance of generosity
B. persuade people to give generously and receive thankfully
C. show how to express our gratitude to others
D. give tips on how to improve other people’s lives

There are a great number of people in the world while few people are great. I think there is probably only one great person out of 10, 000 at best, and most probably much less than that. T here’s no question that Walt Disney is one of the greatest people who changed the world.
