A.Theaters of the PastThe Greek TheaterTheaters developed in many parts of Greece. Ancient Greek theaters were built in natural open-air sites on conveniently shaped hills. This allowed a great mass of people to enjoy a show at a time. Due to this, actors placed emphasis on exaggerated (夸张的) action and speech. And, colorful symbolic masks and costumes were used.The Medieval TheaterThe Medieval theater started in churches. That’s why medieval plays were about Bible stories. At first, it became a custom for priests (牧师) to act out brief scenes during Christmas and Easter. These acts attracted large crowds. Finally, the church refused to allow priests to participate in any such events again, so ordinary people began these performances outside. Performances were set in the town square, with several stage settings around it.The Elizabethan TheaterThe England’s theater developed rapidly in the years following the def eat of the SpanishNavy. The dominant feature of Elizabethan theater was the stage, it has three parts: The fore stage for outside scenes; the inner stage for scenes inside a building; an upper stage or balcony for various purposes. The reason for this design is that there were no scene changes, or breaks during the play. Very little scenery was used, so the actors had to create a scene through their voices and dialogues. This led to a more poetic script, and poets became the main source of script writing.The Restoration TheaterSome of the plays told sad stories, but the majority of the plays were really funny. Many specialized machines were used to create the scene. The stage was a very clever idea for the reason that on the sides of the stage large back shutters(百叶窗) were painted with the scene.2 l. Why were ancient Greek theaters built on hills?A. To hold a large audience.B. To build a big and strong stage.C. To have a better sound effect.D. To emphasize exaggerated performances.22. In whi ch theater could actors’ voices and speech help create scenes?A. The Greek Theater.B. The Medieval Theater.C. The Elizabethan Theater.D. The Restoration Theater.23. What is special about the Restoration Theater?A. Colorful masks were used.B. The stage was smartly designed.C. Most of its plays were sorrowful.D. Ordinary people were the performers.B“Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy – they're given after all. Choices can, be hard”– Jeff BezosI got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don't, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I'd been a garage inventor. I'd always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion．I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, "That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job”. That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.24．What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?A．The support of his wife.B．His dream of being an inventor.C．The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.D．Millions of exciting titles on the Internet.25．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?．A．He would be very excited if he tried it out.B．He would be always having a doubt if he didn't try.C．The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.D．The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.26．We can know from the passage that .A．the boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorB．the author might not regret if he failed the ideaC．the author wanted someone else to try the ideaD．the author might go back to his boss if he failed27．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Cleverness and Kindness B．The Starting of AmazonC．Following My Passion D．We Are What We ChooseCHave you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child – a bit of nostalgia (怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those struggling to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s website he writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”28. The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to__________.A. recall the childhoodB. attract the readersC. introduce the topicD. compare the past with the present29. According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic orRomance languages?A. HungarianB. SpanishC. ItalianD. English30. Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that __________A. singing is the best way to learn a language.B. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.D. the brain probably works best when foreign language learners sing out.31. In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.C. A student is going to learn a new English song.D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.D“Walt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast,” Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.Under a new policy, wh ich takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World's website.The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks" signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned。

St Matins vs Doonsberg and Northerners vs TigersBSo many of us hold on to little resentments (怨恨) that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out tous—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn’t very good, recently told me that she hadn’her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife andthat she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one tohe wasreach out, she resisted initially and said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however,she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for herwillingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes thechance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff” into really “big stuff” in ou start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want tobe a more peaceful person, you must understand that being right is almost never more important thanallowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right.This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting as well as the joy of letting others be right.You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right,” they will become less and more lov ing toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they don’t, tha okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a moreloving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．24.

According to the passage, the author’s friend never spoke to her son for three years because________.A. she had got an argument with her husbandB. she had disagreed about her son’s marriageC. she had got an argument about her daughter-in-lawD. she had disliked her son’s wife for many years26. Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to be unwilling to apologize first?A. People believe that they are right.B. People always wait for others to offer an apology first.C. People consider the position more important than happiness.D. People want to get an inner satisfaction.27.

Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her .My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he didn’t send me cheek already t wo week lone.”And then, in perfect English I said: “I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to sendthe check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want?I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turn ed to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.9.

His inventions include the earliest typewriter, the meat grinder(碾肉机), a device to record piano music on paper, and two four-wheeled human-powered vehicles. But it was the running machine, the modern ancestor of the bicycle, that made him famous.The running machine, also called the hobby horse, was in effect a very primitive bicycle: it had no chains and was moved by riders pushing off the ground with their feet. Though not a bike in the modern sense ofthe word, this invention marked the big bang for the bicycle’s development. It was the first vehicle with two wheels placed inline. Drais intended to find a muscle-powered replacement for thehorses, which were expensive and consumed lots of food even whennot in use. The machine, he believed, would allow large numbers of people to move faster than walking or riding in a coach.Drais undertook his first documented ride on June 12, 1817, covering a distance of 13 kilometers in one hour. A few months later, he created a huge sensation(轰动) when he rode 60 kilometers in four hours. These were later followed by a marketing trip to Paris, where the hobby horse quickly caught on. The craze also quickly spread to Britain.The success of the hobby horse was short-lived, though. They were heavy and difficult to ride. Safety was an issue, too: They lacked a brake, as well as cranks(曲柄) and pedals. Accidents happened quite often, and after a few years Drais’ invention was banned in many European and American cities. Drais’ ideas, however, did not disappear entirely. Decades later, the machine was equipped by two24. Why did Drais invent the running machine?A. To prove his creativity as an inventor.B. To protect the horses from being overused.C. To provide a new transportation for the royal class.D. To give the general public a better means of transportation.25. What does “the big bang” mean in the second paragraph?A. Very huge noises.B. A large sum of money.C. The beginning of the universe.D. A very important stage.26. Which of the following shows the order of the spread of the hobby horse?A. Germany→Britain→FranceB. Germany→France→BritainC. Britain→Germany→FranceD. France→Britain→Germanycentury?A. It did not go as fast as people had expected.B. It was expensive and could not be used long.C. It was hard to control and dangerous to ride on the road.D. It did not receive enough public attention in European cities.CShantou has access to sufficient supplies of fresh water for drinking. But fresh water can be in short supply in many aridTo turn seawater into fresh water, we need to remove the salt in seawater, that is, to desalinate seawater. The problem is that the desalination of water requires a lot of energy. Salt dissolves(溶解) very easily in water, forming strong chemical bonds, and those bonds are difficult to break. The energy and technology to desalinate water are both expensive, and this means that desalinating water can be costly.There are environmental costs of desalination as well. Sea life can get sucked into desalination factories, killing small ocean creatures like baby fish, upsetting the food chain. Also, there is the problem of what to do with the separated salt. Pumping this super-salty water back into the ocean can harm local sea life. Reducing these impacts is possible, but it adds to the costs.Despite the economic and environmental problemspossible way to provide water to growing populations in rural areas of the Middle East and North Africa.Therefore, the race is on to find a cheaper, cleaner, and more energy-efficient way of desalinating seawater, and promising new findings are being reported. 28. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “arid” in the first paragraph?A. Rich.B. Poor.C. Dry.D. Remote.29. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The major chemicals in seawater.B. The high cost of desalinating seawater.C. The need to turn seawater into fresh water.D. The amount of energy produced by seawater.30. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Mixing salt with water is not as easy as removing salt from seawater.B. Desalinating seawater may kill some sea creatures and disturb the food chain.C. Covering 70% of the Earth, the ocean has always satisfied human needs for water.D. The increasing population in Saudi Arabia has resulted in shortages of fresh water.31.Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward the future of desalination?A. Surprised.B. Doubtful.C. Opposed.D. Hopeful.DA lullaby is a song or a piece of music sung or played for babies at their bedtime as a sleep aid for them. Four thousand years ago, an ancient Babylonian wrote down what is possibly the first lullaby. It is a rather frightening lullaby, in which the baby is scolde scary than sleep-encouraging, yet it is true that many lullabies—including those sung today—have dark messages.Studies conducted by Dr. Jeffery Perlman, chief of newborn medicine at Komansky Center for Children’s Health in New York find that gentle music notonly slows down the heart rate of premature(早产的) babies but also helps them feed and sleep better.

He didn't know what he should do for a while, then he remembered the words he had said to his son，“No matter what, I'll always be there for you！” And tears began to fill his eyes. He started digging through the ruins.As he was digging, other helpless parents and the firemen arrived and tried to pull him off the ruins, saying，“It's too late! They're all dead! There's nothing you can do！”To them he replied with one line，“Are you going to help me now？”And then he kept on digging.No one helped, however. He went on alone because he needed to know for himself，“Is my boy alive or is he dead？” He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...then, in the 39th hour, he pulled back a rock and heard his son's words. He shouted his son's name，“ARMAND！”He heard back, “Dad！It's me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you'd save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised, ‘No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you！’You did it, Dad！”“What's going on in there? How is it？”the father asked.“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We're frightened, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here. When the building fell down, it made a tri angle, and it saved us.”“Come out, boy！”“No, Dad!

How do family members get along with each other? Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda tries to answer these questions in his films.His latest film, Shoplifters, is about his favorite topic –family relations. With this film, Koreeda won this year’s Palme d’Or (金棕榈奖), the Cannes Film Festival’s top honor.Shoplifters tells the story of a poor family living in Tokyo. Three generations living under the same roof survive by stealing from local shops.Obviously, what they are doing is wrong. But the director focuses more on the heartwarming details of the family’s daily life, according to The Playist. Koreeda shows how the family members love and support each other. For example, the family plans a beach trip for the youngest sister. They carefully pick out swimwear for the girl. At the beach, they play happily. The girl draws a picture to help her remember their time together.This causes viewers to forgetabout their moral judgments(道德审判).This is another feature of Koreeda’s filming style. He is good at presenting ordinary life. It’s slow and full of small details –sometimes it’s even boring. But there is tension(冲突) present as well. In Shoplifters, the surprise is that the family members don’t actually have blood ties to each other, but they are still closer than a real family. They all have their own stories.In Japan and most other Asian countries, blood ties are what defines (定义) family. But Koreeda questions that by looking at different kinds of relations.9. How does the family in the Shoplifters make a living?A. By drawing pictures.B. By working in local shops.C. By begging from neighbors.D. By stealing from the local stores.10. What is the feature of Koreeda’s filming style?A. No tension present at all.B. Being full of small boring details.C. Focusing on the hard time of poor families.D. Showing ordinary life through the details of daily life.11. What does Koreeda want to show us in the movie?A. The meaning of a family.B. How to get long with our families.C. The ordinary life in a Japanese family.D. the different relationship in a poor family.12. This passage is mainly about _____.A. family relationsB. a film directed by KoreedaC. a famous Japanese directorD. how family members get along with each other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。

He didn't know what he should do for a while, then he remembered the words he had said to his son，“No matter what, I'll always be there for you！〞And tears began to fill his eyes. He started digging through the ruins.As he was digging, other helpless parents and the firemen arrived and tried to pull him off the ruins, saying，“It's too late! They're all dead! There's nothing you can do！〞To them he replied with one line，“Are you going to help me now？〞And then he kept on digging.No one helped, however. He went on alone because he needed to know for himself，“Is my boy alive or is he dead？〞 He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours (36)hours...then, in the 39th hour, he pulled back a rock and heard his son's words. He shouted his son's name，“ARMAND！〞He heard back, “Dad！ It's me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you'd save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised, ‘No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you！’You did it, Dad！〞“What's going on in there? How is it？〞the father asked.“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We're frightened, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here. When the building fell down, it made a triangle, and it saved us.〞“Come out, boy！〞“No, Dad!

How do family members get along with each other? Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda tries to answer these questions in his films.His latest film, Shoplifters, is about his favorite topic –family relations. With this film, Koreeda won this year’s Palme d’Or (金棕榈奖), the Cannes Film Festiv al’s top honor.Shoplifters tells the story of a poor family living in Tokyo. Three generationsliving under the same roof survive by stealing from local shops.Obviously, what they are doing is wrong. But the director focuses more on the heartwarming deta ils of the family’s daily life, according to The Playist. Koreeda shows how the family members love and support each other. For example, the family plans a beach trip for the youngest sister. They carefully pick out swimwear for the girl. At the beach, they play happily. The girl draws a picture to help her remember their time together.This causes viewers to forget about their moral judgments(道德审讯).This is another feature of Koreeda’s filming style. He is good at presenting ordinary life. It’s slow and ful l of small details –sometimes it’s even boring. But there is tension(冲突) present as well. In Shoplifters, the surprise is that the family members don’t actually have blood ties to each other, but they are still closer than a real family. They all have their own stories.In Japan and most other Asian countries, blood ties are what defines (定义) family. But Koreeda questions that by looking at different kinds of relations.9. How does the family in the Shoplifters make a living?A. By drawing pictures.B. By working in local shops.C. By begging from neighbors.D. By stealing from the local stores.10. What is the feature of Koreeda’s filming style?A. No tension present at all.B. Being full of small boring details.C. Focusing on the hard time of poor families.D. Showing ordinary life through the details of daily life.11. What does Koreeda want to show us in the movie?A. The meaning of a family.B. How to get long with our families.C. The ordinary life in a Japanese family.D. the different relationship in a poor family.12. This passage is mainly about _____.A. family relationsB. a film directed by KoreedaC. a famous Japanese directorD. how family members get along with each other第二节〔一共5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

ASPORTS EVENTSBUSH WALKINGMeet at Wanda Station, Saturday 9:00 a.m. sharp for 3-hour walk to Canary Mountains. $7, call21. According to the passage, how many matches will be held at Saturday 2:00 p.m.?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five22. You may find the passage most probably in a ________.A. handbook about tourB. blog about match reviewsC. magazine about ball matchesD. notice about sports23. If you have $18, you can go to watch both ________.A. All Stars vs Rockets and the Bush Walking at Westley StationB. Wake Hill vs Colls and Essen vs SpringwoodC. Neill Park vs Robinson and Eastside Central vs Light HillD. St Matins vs Doonsberg and Northerners vs TigersBSo many of us hold on to little resentments (怨恨) that may have come from anargument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait forsomeone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgiveor rekindle a friendship or family relationship.An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn’t very good, recently told me thatshe hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her sonhad had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t spea k to him again unlesshe called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resistedinitially and said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize.” Shewas literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To heramazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apologyof his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out,everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff” into really “big stuff”- 2 -in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person, you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the pea ce of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right,” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they don’t,that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.24. The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.A. recoverB. developC. acceptD. replace25. According to the passage, the author’s friend never spoke to her son for three years because ________.A. she had got an argument with her husbandB. she had disagreed about her son’smarriageC. she had got an argument about her daughter-in-lawD. she had disliked her son’s wife for many years26. Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to be unwilling to apologize first?A. People believe that they are right.B. People always wait for others to offer an apology first.C. People consider the position more important than happiness.D. People want to get an inner satisfaction.27. The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. instruct the readers how to apologizeB. teach the readers how to gain inner peaceC. inform the readers the importance of being forgivingD. tell the readers to reach out first when there are painful eventsCThe giraffe population in Africa has dropped by about 40 percent in just 15 years, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation.The organization's director, Dr. Julian Fennessy, told ABC News: "It's a silent extinction," pointing out that the number of giraffes have fallen to 80,000. In what is a familiar situation for many species, the giraffe population has plummeted due to habitat loss and over-hunting.Unfortunately for giraffes, their skin can be used to make several clothing items, and countries such as Tanzania have come to believe eating parts of the animal can cure HIV-AIDS. Hunters, for their part, can earn money from the animal's meat without a great deal of effort.And while animals such as elephants and rhinos (犀牛) get a large share of conservation attention, why does it seem like a "silent" extinction? Experts respond that they're such a presence in our lives that it's easy to think the species is always in large numbers."Giraffes are everywhere. Look at kids’ books, which are full of giraffes. They’re always in zoo collections. They’re easily visible, so you don’t think we have to worry about them," David O’Connor, research coordinator (协调员) with the San Diego Zoo’s Institute for Conservation Research, told Scientific American.Groups such as Giraffe Conservation Foundation hope that by sounding the alarm about the plight of the gentle giants, African nations might take a harder look at stricter conservation measures. Other efforts involve ensuring that the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of endangered species includes all the latest information about giraffes and making people get to know that the creatures could one day be lost to history.28. How many giraffes were there in Africa 15 years ago?- 4 -A. About 80,000B. About 130,000C. About 150,000D. About 200,00029. The underlined word “plummeted” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A. decreased quicklyB. increased slowlyC. stopped growingD. kept a balance30. What David O’Connor said in Paragraph 5 implies that ________.A. there are still quite many giraffes in the worldB. zoos are the best places for giraffes to stay safelyC. many people have misunderstood giraffes’ situationD. humans have built up a good relationship with giraffes31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The bad situation of giraffes.B. Humans’ efforts to protect giraffes.C. Conversation measures to be taken soon.D. Giraffes’ being included in theendangered list.DIt is becoming a growing trend that more and more consumers across the country are using cashless payment methods. The rapid development of third-party mobile payment tools is helping to boost cashless payments across the country, said Dong Ximiao, a researcher at the Renmin University of China.Transactions (交易) involving third-party mobile payments rose by 46.8 percent in the first quarter of 2017 compared with the previous quarter to 18.8 trillion yuan, according to a report released in May.Although there were 3.4 billion third-party payment accounts in total in China in 2016, China is not the first country to seek a cashless society. Developed states like Sweden, Denmark and Singapore are also witnessing that increase.However, the rapid development of cashless payments does not mean there are no challenges and criticisms. Alibaba’s Hema store, where customers can shop, dine and order commodities for delivery from their mobile phones via Alipay, have come into the spotlight recently. Media reports said that consumers can’t purchase goods withcash there, which would be considered illegal.Alipay and WeChat Pay, the nation’s two major third-party mobile payment tools, also launched campaigns this month to encourage more merchants and customers to use cashless payment methods, which caused concerns over whether cash will soon disappear.“Some offline sellers refuse to accept cash, which impacts the natural circulation o f yuan,” said Dong. He emphasized that a cashless society would not mean that cash would completely disappear. As the economy grows, the circulation of cash is still very huge, noted Dong. Also, it’s important to remember that nearly half of China’s popula tion live in rural areas, especially in undeveloped western regions, unable to enjoy innovation (革新) brought by the Internet, Dong said. And when it comes to China’s senior citizens, most of them prefer to use cash in their daily lives, he added.“It’s ridiculous to question digital payment tools’ contribution toward financial development. In the long term, various payment methods will be used by consumers, and merchants should respect consumers’ payment habits,” Dong noted.32. What does the underlined wo rd “that” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. Economic activityB. Cashless paymentC. Development of economyD. Large amount of payment33. Why has Alibaba’s Hema store become a focus?A. It fights against illegal activities.B. It provides comprehensive services.C. Customers are not permitted to use cash there.D. It starts campaigns to encourage mobile payment.34. Which of the following will Dong find reasonable?A. Various payment methods ought to be respected.B. People should be encouraged to use mobile payment.C. Most elderly people have no access to mobile payment.D. Mobile payment isn’t beneficial to a cost-effective society.35. What is the text mainly about?- 6 -A. The reasons to use mobile paymentB. The research on mobile paymentC. China’s cashless trendD. China’s cashless future第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分l0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。

His inventions include the earliest typewriter, the meat grinder(碾肉机), a device to record piano music on paper, and two four-wheeled human-powered vehicles. But it was the running machine, the modern ancestor of the bicycle, that made him famous.The running machine, also called the hobby horse, was in effect a very primitive bicycle: it had no chains and was moved by riders pushing off the ground with theirfeet. Though not a bike in the modern sense of the word, this inventionmarked the big bang for the bicycle’s deve lopment. It was the firstvehicle with two wheels placed in line. Drais intended to find amuscle-powered replacement for the horses, which were expensive andconsumed lots of food even when not in use. The machine, he believed, would allow large numbers of people to move faster than walking or riding in a coach.Drais undertook his first documented ride on June 12, 1817, covering a distance of 13 kilometers in one hour. A few months later, he created a huge sensation(轰动) when he rode 60 kilometers in four hours. These were later followed by a marketing trip to Paris, where the hobby horse quickly caught on. The craze also quickly spread to Britain.The success of the hobby horse was short-lived, though. They were heavy and difficult to ride. Safety was an issue, too: They lacked a brake, as well as cranks(曲柄) and pedals. Accidents happened quite often, and after a few years Drais’ invention was banned in many European and American cities. Drais’ ideas, however, did not disappear entirely. Decades later, the machine was equipped by two Frenchmen withpedals to become the modern bicycle.24. Why did Drais invent the running machine?A. To prove his creativity as an inventor.B. To protect the horses from being overused.C. To provide a new transportation for the royal class.D. To give the general public a better means of transportation.25. What does “the big bang” mean in the second paragraph?A. Very huge noises.B. A large sum of money.C. The beginning of the universe.D. A very important stage.26. Which of the following shows the order of the spread of the hobby horse?A. Germany→Britain→FranceB. Germany→France→BritainC. Britain→Germany→FranceD. France→Britain→Germany27. Why did the hobby horse fail to become a common vehicle in the 19th century?A. It did not go as fast as people had expected.B. It was expensive and could not be used long.C. It was hard to control and dangerous to ride on the road.D. It did not receive enough public attention in European cities.CShantou has access to sufficient supplies of fresh water for drinking. But fresh water can be in short supply in many arid regions of the world such as Saudi Arabia, where there are limited water resources. As the world population continues to grow, shortages of fresh water will occur more often and the need for additional water supplies will become critical. Some may ask, “Since the ocean covers more than 70 percent of the Earth, why not just get drinking water from the ocean?”To turn seawater into fresh water, we need to remove the salt in seawater, that is, to desalinate seawater. The problem is that the desalination of water requires a lot of energy. Salt dissolves(溶解) very easily in water, forming strong chemical bonds, and those bonds are difficult to break. The energy and technology to desalinate water are both expensive, and this means that desalinating water can be costly.There are environmental costs of desalination as well. Sea life can get sucked into desalination factories, killing small ocean creatures like baby fish, upsetting the food chain. Also, there is the problem of what to do with the separated salt. Pumping this super-salty water back into the ocean can harm local sea life. Reducing these impacts is possible, but it adds to the costs.Despite the economic and environmental problems, desalination is becoming increasingly attractive as human beings are using up fresh water from other sources. At present, desalinating seawater is the only possible way to provide water to growing populations in rural areas of the Middle East and North Africa. Therefore, the race is on to find a cheaper, cleaner, and more energy-efficient way of desalinating seawater, and promising new findings are being reported.28. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “arid” in the first paragraph?A. Rich.B. Poor.C. Dry.D. Remote.29. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The major chemicals in seawater.B. The high cost of desalinating seawater.C. The need to turn seawater into fresh water.D. The amount of energy produced by seawater.30. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Mixing salt with water is not as easy as removing salt from seawater.B. Desalinating seawater may kill some sea creatures and disturb the food chain.C. Covering 70% of the Earth, the ocean has always satisfied human needs for water.D. The increasing population in Saudi Arabia has resulted in shortages of fresh water.31.Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward th e future of desalination?A. Surprised.B. Doubtful.C. Opposed.D. Hopeful.DA lullaby is a song or a piece of music sung or played for babies at their bedtimeas a sleep aid for them. Four thousand years ago, an ancient Babylonian wrote down what is possibly the first lullaby. It is a rather frightening lullaby, in which the baby is scolded for disturbing the house god with its crying and warned of terrifying consequences. It may have got the baby to sleep, but its message is far from comforting: If he/she does not stop crying, the demon(恶魔) will eat him/her. This lullaby may sound more scary than sleep-encouraging, yet it is true that many lullabies—including those sung today—have dark messages.Studies conducted by Dr. Jeffery Perlman, chief of newborn medicine at Komansky Center for Children’s Health in New York find that gentle music not only slows down the heart rate of premature(早产的) babies but also helps them feed and sleep better. This helps them gain weight and speeds their recovery. Lullabies, when used correctly, can comfort and possibly even help to heal a baby; but it is the caretaker’s voice and the rhythm and melody of the music that babies respond to, not the content of the song. Then, what is the function of the content? According to studies, some lullabies provide advice, like the Babylonian lullaby, and quite a few others offer the space to sing the unsung, say the unsayable. Content of those lullabies can indeed be seen as a reflection of the caregiver’s feelings.Researchers believe that a large part of the function of lullabies is to help a mother express her worries and concerns. The mother’s fear of loss especially makes sense since the baby years of life are fragile ones. Since there is a special physical bond between mother and child during this period, mothers feel they can sing to their child about their own fears and anxieties. Lullabies, therefore, serve as a mental health treatment for the mother. In addition, the songs are seemingly trying to work some magic—as if, b y singing, the mother is saying, “Sadness has already touched this house; no need to come by again.”32. What do we know about the first lullaby?A. It was a scary warning.B. It was sung in ancient Egypt.C. It brought comfort to new-born babies.D. It might bring demons to the house.33. What does the author use to support the idea that lullabies can have a good effect on premature babies?A. Medical researches.B. Examples found in history.C. Stories of caretakers.D. The author’s personal experiences.34. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Scary lullabies better help babies fall asleep.B.

ASPORTS EVENTS21. According to the passage, how many matches will be held at Saturday 2:00 p.m.?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five22. You may find the passage most probably in a ________.A. handbook about tourB. blog about match reviewsC. magazine about ball matchesD. notice about sports23. If you have $18, you can go to watch both ________.A. All Stars vs Rockets and the Bush Walking at Westley StationB. Wake Hill vs Colls and Essen vs SpringwoodC. Neill Park vs Robinson and Eastside Central vs Light HillD. St Matins vs Doonsberg and Northerners vs TigersBSo many of us hold on to little resentments (怨恨) that may have come from anargument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait forsomeone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgiveor rekindle a friendship or family relationship.An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn’t very good, recently told me thatshe hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her sonhad had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unlesshe called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resistedinitially and said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize.” Shewas literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To heramazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apologyof his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out,everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff” into really “big stuff”in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than ourhappiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person, you must understandthat being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy.The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’tmean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right,” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they don’t, that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.24. The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.A. recoverB. developC. acceptD. replace25. According to the passage, the author’s friend never spoke to her son for three years because ________.A. she had got an argument with her husbandB. she had disagreed about her son’smarriageC. she had got an argument about her daughter-in-lawD. she had disliked her son’s wife for many years26. Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to be unwilling to apologize first?A. People believe that they are right.B. People always wait for others to offer an apology first.C. People consider the position more important than happiness.D. People want to get an inner satisfaction.27. The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. instruct the readers how to apologizeB. teach the readers how to gain inner peaceC. inform the readers the importance of being forgivingD. tell the readers to reach out first when there are painful eventsCThe giraffe population in Africa has dropped by about 40 percent in just 15 years, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation.The organization's director, Dr. Julian Fennessy, told ABC News: "It's a silentextinction," pointing out that the number of giraffes have fallen to 80,000. In what is a familiar situation for many species, the giraffe population has plummeted due to habitat loss and over-hunting.Unfortunately for giraffes, their skin can be used to make several clothing items, and countries such as Tanzania have come to believe eating parts of the animal can cure HIV-AIDS. Hunters, for their part, can earn money from the animal's meat without a great deal of effort.And while animals such as elephants and rhinos (犀牛) get a large share of conservation attention, why does it seem like a "silent" extinction? Experts respond that they're such a presence in our lives that it's easy to think the species is always in large numbers."Giraffes are everywhere. Look at kids’ books, which are full of giraffes. They’re always in zoo collections. They’re easily visible, so you don’t think we have to worry about them," David O’Connor, research coordinator (协调员) with the San Diego Zoo’s Institute for Conservation Research, told Scientific American.Groups such as Giraffe Conservation Foundation hope that by sounding the alarm about the plight of the gentle giants, African nations might take a harder look at stricter conservation measures. Other efforts involve ensuring that the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of endangered species includes all the latest information about giraffes and making people get to know that the creatures could one day be lost to history.28. How many giraffes were there in Africa 15 years ago?A. About 80,000B. About 130,000C. About 150,000D. About 200,00029. The underlined word “plummeted” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A. decreased quicklyB. increased slowlyC. stopped growingD. kept a balance30. What David O’Connor said in Paragraph 5 implies that ________.A. there are still quite many giraffes in the worldB. zoos are the best places for giraffes to stay safelyC. many people have misunderstood giraffes’ situationD. humans have built up a good relationship with giraffes31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The bad situation of giraffes.B. Humans’ efforts to protect giraffes.C. Conversation measures to be taken soon.D. Giraffes’ being included in theendangered list.DIt is becoming a growing trend that more and more consumers across the country are using cashless payment methods. The rapid development of third-party mobile payment tools is helping to boost cashless payments across the country, said Dong Ximiao, a researcher at the Renmin University of China.Transactions (交易) involving third-party mobile payments rose by 46.8 percent in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the previous quarter to 18.8 trillion yuan, according to a report released in May.Although there were 3.4 billion third-party payment accounts in total in China in 2019, China is not the first country to seek a cashless society. Developed states like Sweden, Denmark and Singapore are also witnessing that increase.However, the rapid development of cashless payments does not mean there are no challenges and criticisms. Alibaba’s Hema store, where customers can shop, dine and order commodities for delivery from their mobile phones via Alipay, have come into the spotlight recently. Media reports said that consumers can’t purchase goods with cash there, which would be considered illegal.Alipay and WeChat Pay, the nation’s two major third-party mobile payment tools, also launched campaigns this month to encourage more merchants and customers to use cashless payment methods, which caused concerns over whether cash will soon disappear.“Some offline sellers refuse to accept cash, which impacts the natural circulation of yuan,” sai d Dong. He emphasized that a cashless society would not mean that cash would completely disappear. As the economy grows, the circulation of cash is still very huge, noted Dong. Also, it’s important to remember that nearly half of China’s population live in rural areas, especially in undeveloped westernregions, unable to enjoy innovation (改革) brought by the Internet, Dong said. And when it comes to China’s senior citizens, most of them prefer to use cash in their daily lives, he added.“It’s ridiculous to question digital payment tools’ contribution toward financial development. In the long term, various payment methods will be used by consumers, and merchants should respect consumers’ payment habits,” Dong noted.32. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. Economic activityB. Cashless paymentD. Large amount of paymentC. Development of economy33. Why has Alibaba’s Hema store become a focus?A. It fights against illegal activities.B. It provides comprehensive services.C. Customers are not permitted to use cash there.D. It starts campaigns to encourage mobile payment.34. Which of the following will Dong find reasonable?A. Various payment methods ought to be respected.B. People should be encouraged to use mobile payment.C. Most elderly people have no access to mobile payment.D. Mobile payment isn’t beneficial to a cost-effective society.35. What is the text mainly about?A. The reasons to use mobile paymentB. The research on mobile paymentC. China’s cashless trendD. China’s cashless future第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分l0分)根据漫笔内容，从漫笔后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He didn't know what he should do for a while, then he remembered the words he had said to his son，“No matter what, I'll always be there for you！” And tears began to fill his eyes. He started digging through the ruins.As he was digging, other helpless parents and the firemen arrived and tried to pull him off the ruins, saying，“It's too late! They're all dead! There's nothing you can do！”To them he replied with one line，“Are you going to help me now？”And then he kept on digging.No one helped, however. He went on alone because he needed to know for himself，“Is my boy alive or is he dead？” He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours (36)hours...then, in the 39th hour, he pulled back a rock and heard his son's words. He shouted his son's name，“ARMAND！”He heard back, “Dad！ It's me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you'd save me and whenyou saved me, they'd be saved. You promised, ‘No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you！’You did it, Dad！”“What's going on in there? How is it？”the father asked.“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad.

How do family members get along with each other? Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda tries to answer these questions in his films.His latest film, Shoplifters, is about his favorite topic –family relations. With this film, Koreeda won this year’s Palme d’Or (金棕榈奖), the Cannes Film Festival’s top honor.Shoplifters tells the story of a poor family living in Tokyo. Three generations living under the same roof survive by stealing from local shops.Obviously, what they are doing is wrong. But the director focuses more on the heartwarming details of the family’s daily life, according to The Playist. Koreeda shows how the family members love and support each other. For example, the family plans a beach trip for the youngest sister. They carefully pick out swimwear for the girl. At the beach, they play happily. The girl draws a picture to help her remember their time together.This causes viewers to forget about their moral judgments(道德审判).This is another feature of Koreeda’s filming style. He is good at presenting ordinary life. It’s slow and full of small detail s –sometimes it’s even boring. But there is tension(冲突) present as well. In Shoplifters, the surprise is that the family members don’t actually have blood ties to each other, but they are still closer than a real family. They all have their own stories.In Japan and most other Asian countries, blood ties are what defines (定义) family. But Koreeda questions that by looking at different kinds of relations.9. How does the family in the Shoplifters make a living?A. By drawing pictures.B. By working in local shops.C. By begging from neighbors.D. By stealing from the local stores.10. What is the feature of Koreeda’s filming style?A. No tension present at all.B. Being full of small boring details.C. Focusing on the hard time of poor families.D. Showing ordinary life through the details of daily life.11. What does Koreeda want to show us in the movie?A. The meaning of a family.B. How to get long with our families.C. The ordinary life in a Japanese family.D. the different relationship in a poor family.12. This passage is mainly about _____.A. family relationsB. a film directed by KoreedaC. a famous Japanese directorD. how family members get along with each other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。
