第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）
A
Two years ago, Beijing became the first city ever to hold both Summer and Winter Olympic Games after winning the 2022 Winter Olympics bid with co-host city Zhangjiakou, bringing snow and ice sports into public spotlight. Now, let’s take a look at some of the most popular events in the Winter Olympic Games.
Figure skating
Figure skating is one of the most popular sports at the Winter Olympics, in which ice skaters, singly or in pairs, perform freestyle movements of jumps, spins, lifts, and footwork in a graceful manner. The figure skating competition is one of the strongest at the Winter Olympics-one slight error, and a competitor’s chance of a medal goes up in smoke. To win the game, the skater has to be perfect.
Curling
Curling is one of the most unique sports at the Winter Olympics-a winter sport played by two teams of four players on a rectangular sheet of ice. The two teams take turns to slide large round flat stones towards a target. Members of each team use brooms to sweep the surface of the ice in the path of the stone to control its speed and direction. And while curling may be a “slow” sport, it’s still full of skill and excitement!
Snowboarding
Snowboarding is a popular winter sport that involves sliding downhill on snow with a snowboard firmly attached to a rider’s feet. The sport is said to have been inspired by surfing,
skiing and skateboarding.While snowboarding is one of the newer events-first included at the 1998 Winter Olympics, it has become one of the most popular and exciting sports at the Winter Olympics.
Ice hockey
Ice hockey is a game between two teams who wear skates and compete on an ice rink (溜冰场). Each team usually has six players. The object is to push the puck (冰球) past a goal line and into a net guarded by a goalkeeper. Ice hockey is popular for its speed and frequent physical contact. Worldwide there are more than a million registered Ice hockey players performing regularly in leagues.
16. Which of the winter sports mentioned above involve team work?
A. Figure skating and Curling.
B. Snowboarding and Figure skating.
C. Curling and Ice hockey.
D. Snowboarding and Ice hockey.
17. Figure skating ought to be ________.
A. graceful and perfect
B. inspiring and exciting
C. skillful and defensive
D. calm and fashionable
18. What do we know about these winter sports from the passage?
A. Minor mistakes can be ignored in Figure skating.
B. The curling ice path is brushed to help the stone slide.
C. Snowboarding originated from skiing, surfing and shooting.
D. Over a million become Ice hockey league members each year.
B
You may think you cannot live through summer without air conditioning (空调). But in ancient China, hand fans were almost the only way to drive the heat away.
Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes and were made from all kinds of materials. Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans marked the owner’s high status. Sandalwood fans could send out a sweet smell. Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into art works, in which Tuanshan—round fans and Zheshan—folded fans, were the most common. In the shape of a full moon, Tuanshan were usually made of silk. They had beautiful birds and flowers on them. Women especially those in the royal palace, liked to use them.
Meanwhile, men, especially the literati (文人), used Zheshan. The literati liked them because Zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to show off their ability in literature, painting and calligraphy. Many things were painted
on Zheshan, but the most popular choice was usually beautiful scenery.
Today, Chinese people still use these fans, though not many people write or paint on them any more.
19. Which fans could show a person’s social position?
A. Hand fans.
B. Feather fans.
C. Palm leaf fans.
D. Sandalwood fans.
20. From the passage, what can be inferred about hand fans?
A. They came in similar shapes.
B. They were used by women in the imperial palace.
C. They only could cool people down.
D. They were made from all kinds of materials.
21. Why did the literati like Zheshan?
A. They were folded fans.
B. They came in different shapes.
C. They had birds and flowers on them.
D. They gave them the chances to show the talent.
22. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To introduce several kinds of hand fans.
B. To tell us how to make hand fans.
C. To explain why people used hand fans.
D. To encourage people to make hand fans.
C
It was a perfect summer morning on the beach in Rio De Janeiro. A man set up his umbrellas and chair near the water and was ready to read his book. Just then, when he looked toward the sea, he noticed a small shape that came out of the water. It slowly made its way out onto the sand and began to flap its wings. It was obviously feeble and tired.
When the creature was just a few feet away, the man couldn’t believe his eyes. A penguin? Penguins don’t belong to Rio. The mans was amazed. He looked around to see if there was anyone else this strange sight.
A jogger soon appeared, followed by another. They stopped and stared. It was clear that the penguin was having trouble breathing. The first jogger looked at the sea and said, “Poor fellow, so far away from home.”
The penguin fell to its side. It had swum 2, 000 miles, trying to find the tiny fish that penguins like to eat. Why did the penguin need to travel so far? Perhaps it was confused by moving ocean currents and temperatures—common effects of global warming. The penguin needed help. It would not survive on the hot sand.
One of the joggers phone for help, and soon some firemen arrived. The man was relieved that the penguin would soon be safe, although he felt a little sad, too.
The event on the beach at Rio happened some time ago. It was only the beginning of penguin migration to Brazil. Since that time, hundreds of penguins have appeared on the coasts of Brazil. They come all the way from Patagonia and the Straits of Magellan, southern parts of South America. They land on the sands very tired and starving, and many of them die. Some are shipped or flown back to colder waters farther south.
Perhaps the experience of the penguins will help us better understand the serious effect of human activity on climate change and on the condition of our planet.
23. What does the underl ined word “feeble” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Heavy. B．Excited. C．Dirty. D．Weak.
24. Why did the man think it strange to see a penguin?
A．Penguins there had already died out. B．Penguins do not live in Brazil.
C．The penguin was no afraid of him. D．The penguin was moving very fast. 25. What probably caused the penguin to land on the beach of Rio?
A．Changes in ocean currents and temperatures. B．Pollution in South America. C．Energy from the sun. D．Sea ice decreasing.
26. What is the best title for the text?
A．Beaches in Brazil. B．A Penguin’s Life.
C．Effects of Global Warming. D．The Penguin of Brazil.

When Sarah Harmeyer moved to Dallas, she didn’t know any of her neighbors. So she offered to invite them all to dinner—and was thrilled when 91 people showed up in her backyard. For Harmeyer, it started with a simple desire to know others in her community. And the free Nextdoor neighborhood networking app made what could seem like a tough process easy.
“I went to the app and I said, ‘If you’ve never stepped outside your house to meet your neighbors, would you consider coming? I would love to meet you’”, she said. After she reached out, Harmeyer discovered others wanted to connect just as much as she did, if not more.
Since that first request, Harmeyer has now hosted gatherings with more than 3, 500 neighbors in total. She’s had people over for backyard concerts, holiday parties and more. Harmeyer even shares hosting tips and tricks with others interested in becoming “people- gatherers” like her.
According to a recent survey, now half of Americans feel they can depend more on their neighbors and local community than before. 72% of Americans have made it more important to support local businesses and 61% now feel it’s more nece ssary to build connections in the neighborhood than outside their community. Research also shows that a majority of people (58%)
have a renewed appreciation of their neighborhood.
Whether it’s by picking up groceries for a disabled neighbor, offering chil dcare, or sharing trusted information and recommendations—like which local pizza joint satisfies tastes most—neighbors are showing up for one another and are happy to do so.
Harmeyer’s story shows how one person has the power to strengthen their entire neighborhood. Technology like Nextdoor can be used to promote real-world interactions—and, in turn, these gatherings can make positive change.
“Something is extraordinary when we reach out to each other as neighbors”, Harmeyer said. 27.Why did Harmeyer invite people to have dinner when moving to Dallas?
A．To become a public figure. B．To know people around her.
C．To celebrate her new move. D．To market her own free app.
28. How did the app help Harmeyer with her gatherings?
A．Posting her invitation. B．Teaching her programming. C．Offering her specific tips. D．Presenting Internet surveys.
29. What’s the new trend among the community residents?
A. Managing bigger money from their communities.
B. Sharing more information about their family gatherings.
C. Becoming more dependent on and devoted to their neighbors.
D. Building stronger connections with people outside their communities.
30.Which of the following can best describe Sarah Harmeyer?
A. selfless and lucky
B. sociable and helpful
C. wise and sensible
D. responsible and humorous

The iPod Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. 31 . Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”?
For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect．32. What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says, “I’m not available for chatting at the moment!”
Suppose you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough, but a colleague suddenly turns up. His sudden appearance would break your concentration and cause mistakes.
33 . Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!”
signal.
34. It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework, they can just turn up the volume (音量) on their MP3 player, smile, and say “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved．Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears, but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instruments. We’ll be in a virtual world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. 35. And they are changing our social habits along the way．
In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It’s so strange—suddenly, I don’t feel like wearing my earphones anymore.
A. Our instruments are changing quickly.
B. I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment.
C. In the home situation, teenagers love these wires.
D. I also have wires hanging from my ears.
E. After all, I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed.
F. Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions (中断).
G. They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal “digital noise reduction systems”.

Last summer, my son worked hard to earn enough money to buy him a new racing-bicycle instead of asking for money from me. I loved my son so very much that I bought him a pair
sunglasses and gloves.
On November 10th, my birthday, I found the beautiful guitar on the table, beside that was a card, saying, “Happy birthday to my wonderful mother.” I was surprising and tears streamed down my face. I remembered once I joke to my family that I wanted to learn how to play the guitar to make my life wonderful. I had forgotten it, and my son remembered. He took it serious, and bought me one as a birthday gift. After wondering how my son could buy the expensive gifts, I realized that my son had sold his racing-bicycle to get me the guitar.
