One evening, after a long day of hard work, the farmer returned home with the donkeys and began to tie them to the stakes(桩). When he finished nine donkeys, he found that the tenth rope was gone.What now? He could not let the last donkey run around all night. It would surely run away. Suddenly, he saw that, under a tree, there was a monk(和尚). The farmer ran to the monk and asked for voice. The monk said, “The only thing you have to do to the tenth donkey is make the movements(动作) you would have made with a rope in your hands. Pretend (假装) to tie the donkey. That’s all.”The farmer returned to the tenth donkey, pretended to fasten(拴紧) a rope around its neck and then to tie the rope to a stake. He then entered his little house, half trusting the monk’s advice, half worried that his donk ey would run away in the middle of the night.When he went outside very early the next morning, all the donkeys were still standing nicely next to their stakes, even the tenth one. The farmer untied the donkeys and wanted to take them to the field. But to his surprise, donkey number ten refused to move an inch. The farmer pulled and shouted but the animal just didn’t move.Suddenly, the farmer thought of what he had done to the donkey the night before. With a great “ah ha”, he returned to donkey number ten,and just after a simple movement the donkey happily walked with him to the field.24. What was the farmer’s problem when he tied the donkey?A.

In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar(酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal (正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip(小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy -includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy, such as espresso or macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk), is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.32.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A.By time.B. By space.C. By comparisonD.By example.33.Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?A. Espresso.B. Lungo.C. Cappuccino.D. Macchiato.34.What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy?A.Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.B.Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.C.Few Italians take short breaks from work for coffee.D.Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.35.What does the author think of Italian coffee?A.She loves its bitter taste.B.It is too expensive for her.C.The cup it is served in is too small.D.It is a good choice for breakfast.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。

She had betterfor more information.A. make a phone call to KarenB. join the Hiking ClubC. send an e-mail to Singles’ cl ubD. call Tony at 3338651BI got into the teaching profession purely by choice. I was then in 9th grade when my mathematics teacher asked me to take on a class for a few students to whom the subject seemed difficult. And believe me, I enjoyed the entire teaching process. I never knew teaching would be so interesting. I loved my freshmen and was delighted to teach my so-called students who came up with lots of good questions.After my post-graduation, I worked as a software developer with a public sector(部门) in Bangalore for a few years. But I realized that no job could provide me with the satisfaction that I experienced while teaching and training. I always wanted to connect with a wider group of people. In fact, I felt it was a timely realization for me to choose the teaching profession. I applied to a few colleges, and finally I was chosen as a lecturer, and I had to lecture graduate and post-graduate students in a college.On the first day, I was nervous thinking that I had to teach the senior classes. But now I can say that giving lectures was one of the best experiences of my life. I was a Computer Science and Information Technology lecturer, but I tried to help my students with subjects that were not within my domain(范围). It was a new feeling to me every morning before I went to the classes. I used to feel energized and excited thinking that the class would be lit up with bright faces to greet me, “Good morning, Madam.”To me each day was a new beginning, with new feelings, new experiences andnew questions. I loved to explore their young minds and read their inquisitive (询问的) faces when a particular topic seemed hard. It was extremely challenging to motivate them to participate, think critically, question and also respect others’ points of view. Though few things never seemed easy, it was extremely exciting to make them believe that they really can. That is the reason I love to teach.4. From the first paragraph we know that____.A. the author's math teacher was often away from workB. the author became a real teacher in 9th gradeC. the author joined the teaching profession because she had toD. a great many questions were put forward by the author's “students”5. When the author worked as a software developer, she might feel______.A. interestedB. dissatisfiedC. nervousD. proud6. What can we learn about the author?A. She liked the students most who often challenged her to read.B. She was too nervous to speak a word in her first class.C. New feelings, experiences and questions made her feel each day new.D. She was unwilling to solve her students' questions out of her domain.7. What would be the best title for this text?A. Why I Love to TeachB. What My Life Is LikeC. How I Was Chosen as a LecturerD. My First Lesson as a TeacherCMore Americans expect to work past their 65th birthdays and never retire, says a recent study.The Associated Press with the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research surveyed 1,075 people, who were aged 50 and older. One-fourth of them said they never plan to retire. Among low-income earners in that age group this is even more true than for high-income earners.In America, the age of 65 is the traditional age to retire. Sixty percent of people aged 50 to 64 said they expect to work past their 65th birthday. More than half ofthose who are already older than 65 said they plan to keep working, too. They say they are working an average of 31 hours per week.Those 50 years of age or older said finances (财务) are the most important factor in the decision on when to retire. A majority of older workers — especially those who are 65 and older — plan to change their employers, or move into an entirely new profession, as they head into the later years.One-third of people earning less than $50,000 a year said they will keep working. About 20 percent of those who earn more than $100,000 said they will never retire.As baby boomers — people born between 1946 and 1964 — reach age 65, the United States’ general population will have more older people than ever before. The number of Americans 65 and older jumped 21 percent — or to 35.5 million —between 2002 and 2012. That number is expected to reach 92 million by 2060.8. What can we learn from Paragraphs 1&2 ?A. Low-income earners were more willing to continue working.B. High-income earners were not willing to work past 65.C. 1,075 people who were 50 took part in the study.D. Americans were not sure when to retire.9. Which of the following might most probably affect Americans’ retirement age?A. Their decision.B. Working hours.C. The money that they make.D. The traditional age to retire.10. What would happen in the career of most older workers?A. They would be paid less.B. They would change their jobs.C. They would earn more money.D. They would have a talk with employers.11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. America will have more older people.B. Older Americans have to work past 65.C. American people will have new jobs after 65.D. More Americans choose to work for more years.DDon’t be afraid! We are not encouraging people to steal. It’s one of the most popular topics currently talked about by people in cities, together with，“How many vegetables did you steal today?” or, “It’s harvest time for your peaches,” and，“I bought you a new car today.”Listening to a conversation like this, you do not have to feel strange. These people don’t really have their own farms or so much money that they can casually (随意地) buy someone else a car.They are just playing games on Social Networking Sites(SNS) like. Can you imagine millions of people in China spending lots of time on SNS playing games and talking to friends? This is especially true of white-collar workers in cities. Take for example — the number of current members has already hit 38 million.However, the large number of people using SNS highlights another problem. That is, lots of people choose to escape from reality. NSN just offers them a virtual(虚拟的) environment where they can escape from reality.Different games provide netizens with different experiences: dreaming, chatting and playing. It offers people the opportunity to escape from reality. But the virtual world is not the real one; no one can live in it forever, and reality is not as surfing on the Internet.Since this kind of social networking sites have become so popular, people have started to think about moving it into the real world. And as far as we know, a farmland of this kind exists in Shanghai where it has reached its first base.After playing the “Happy Farm” ga me on , would you like to put yourself among the real world while smelling the fragrances (芳香) of the countryside? Recently a farmland service called “Happy Farm in Reality” was opened in the suburbs of Shanghai where white-collar workers can experience the real farmers’ life for themselves.12. What’s the writer’s purpose for the first paragraph?A. To encourage readers to be brave.B. To tell the readers not to steal.C. To tell the readers some shocking news.D. To introduce some game.13. W hat does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The real world.B. Farmland in Shanghai.C. The virtual world.D. An expensive car.14. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Millions of people in China are spending lots of time on SNS.B. People steal vegetables on SNS for a living.C. Lots of people play games on SNS to escape from reality.D. White-collar workers can have the real farmers’ life.15. You can find the passage in the part of a newspaper.A. politicsB. entertainmentC. economyD. sports第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

A Few Tips for Self-AcceptanceWe all want it… to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. Where do you start？Here's a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.__28__ Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own；you are the only you in this world.__29__ We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. Remember, you are only human. You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate(有同情心的) response? “That didn't go as planned. But, I tried my best.”__30__ Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strengths before weaknesses. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. __31____32__ Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don't feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. Feeling upset again？Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are?A. Nothing is too small to celebrate.B. Now that you've listed your strengths, list your imperfections.C. Others' encouragement can contribute to your self-acceptance.D. Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.E. Without selfacceptance, you won’t have enough strengths to face the challenges in your life.F. Stop comparing yourself with others.G. Recognize all of your strengths.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

One evening, after a long day of hard work, the farmer returned home with the donkeys and began to tie them to the stakes(桩). When he finished nine donkeys, he found that the tenth rope was gone.What now? He could not let the last donkey run around all night. It would surely run away. Suddenly, he saw that, under a tree, there was a monk(和尚). The farmer ran to the monk and asked for voice. The monk said, “The only thing you have to do to the tenth donkey is make the movements(动作) you would have made with a rope in your hands. Pretend (假装) to tie the donkey. That’s all.”The farmer returned to the tenth donkey, pretended to fasten(拴紧) a rope around its neck and then to tie the rope to a stake. He then entered his little house, half trusting the monk’s advice, half worried that his donk ey would run away in the middle of the night.When he went outside very early the next morning, all the donkeys were still standing nicely next to their stakes, even the tenth one. The farmer untied the donkeys and wanted to take them to the field. But to his surprise, donkey number ten refused to move an inch. The farmer pulled and shouted but the animal just didn’t move.Suddenly, the farmer thought of what he had done to the donkey the night before.

In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or bar(酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal (正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip(小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy -includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy, such as espresso or macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk), is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.32.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A.By time.B. By space.C. By comparisonD.By example.33.Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?A. Espresso.B. Lungo.C. Cappuccino.D. Macchiato.34.What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy?A.Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.B.Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.C.Few Italians take short breaks from work for coffee.D.Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.35.What does the author think of Italian coffee?A.She loves its bitter taste.B.It is too expensive for her.C.The cup it is served in is too small.D.It is a good choice for breakfast.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。

1. Teenagers love to socialize, and the following websites give them a chance to do that while playinggames, exploring virtual（虚拟的）worlds and taking quizzes.InstagramInstagram allows teenagers to upload photos of their daily lives and share them with friends. People say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and that must be true because Instagram has around 300 million users who are active each month. The platform is all about photos with short captions.53 percent of its users are aged 18-29, but a big percentage of those may be even younger and simply （list their age as 18 in order to use the platform）.Habbo HotelHabbo Hotel is a place for teens to chat/Each teen receives personal room to decorate with virtual objects.

Three very strong women-my mother, my grandmother, and Melinda-deserve big credit（赞扬） for helping me become the man I am today. But Blanche Caffiere, a very kind librarian and teacher I've never written about publicly before, also had a huge influence on me.When I first met Mrs. Caffiere, she was the elegant and engaging school librarian at Seattle's View Ridge Elementary, and I was a shy fourth grader. I was desperately trying to go unnoticed, because I had somebig deficits, like terrible handwriting and a killingly messy desk. And I was trying to hide the fact that I liked to read something that was cool for girls but not for boys.Mrs. Caffiere took me under her wing and helped make it okay for me to be a messy, nerdy boy who was reading lots of books.She pulled me out of my shell by sharing her love of books. She started by asking questions like, "What do you like to read? " and "What are you interested in? " Then she found me a lot of books-ones that were more complex and challenging than the Tom Swift Jr. science fiction books I was reading at the time. For example, she gave me great biographies she had read. Once I'd read them, she would make the time to discuss them with me. She sincerely listened to what had to say. Through those conversations about books in the library and in the classroom we became good friends.Looking back on it now, there's no question that my time with Mrs. Caffiere helped spark my interest in libraries （Melinda's and my first large-scale effort in philanthropy（慈善））and my focus on helping every child in America get the benefit of great teachers. It's remarkable how much power one good person can have in shaping the life of a child.（1）We can learn from the passage that the author was________ before he met Mrs. Caffiere.A. not able to read and writeB. an average studentC. hated by other boysD. not self-confident．（2）What does the underlined word deficits in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？________A.

Instead of using a credit card or smartphone to pay for your goods,Amazon wants you to use your hands. In a blog post. Dilip Kumar,vice president of Amazon Physical Retail introduced the company's palm recognition（掌纹识别） technology, known as Amazon One. The technology, first rolling out in Amazon's home market of Seattle: will use people's palms to identify（确认身份） them and combine that with details of the palm, such as lines and ridges, to build "palm signature."In addition to the trial in the company's stores in Seattle, starting today, Kumar added that Amazon One will come to other Amazon stores and will be used for more than just paying with your palm. "We believe Amazon one has broad applicability beyond our retail stores,so we also plan to offer the service to third parties like retailers（零售店）, stadiums,and office buildings so that more people can benefit from this ease and convenience in more places," Kumar added.Though Amazon has introduced other ways to pay for goods at its physical stores,including the use of Cameras and an app linked to your Amazon account. Kumar explained palm recognition offers another level of privacy."We selected palm recognition for a few important reasons," Kumar wrote. "One reason was that palm recognition is considered more private than other biometric（生物统计的） identifiers because you can't determine a person's identity by looking at a picture of their palm. It also requires users to make an intentional gesture by holding their palm over the device to use. This puts customers in control of when and where they use the service. What's more,it's contactless, which we think customers will appreciate, especially in current times."To use Amazon One, people don't need an Amazon account, but simply phone number and a credit card. For those concerned about privacy, Kumar wrote, users can delete their biometric data if they decide they no longer want to use it.（1）Which of the following best describes Amazon One？________A. Private and inexpensive.B. Convenient and safe.C. Widespread and user-friendly.D. Healthy and popular.．（2）From the first three paragraphs we can infer that________.A. Amazons' palm recognition technology is the best in the worldB. Amazon One is designed for Amazon online storesC. Amazon One has not yet been used in places beyond Amazon storesD. Amazon provides various services for society．（3）What makes palm recognition a better way to pay than using a camera and an app？________A. Customers don't need to make intentional gestures.B. Palm recognition makes fewer mistakes.C. Customers can use their palm to open an Amazon account.D. Customers can control when and where to use it.．（4）Which section of a website is the passage most possibly from？________A. Business news.B. Online shopping.C. Education.D. Advertisement.．4. In all the world's cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music. It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music. Experts are finding that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills. One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements. The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes uses several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects. For example, reading notes improves spatial （空间的） reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions（分数）.Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memory.The secret lies in the way the brain processes music.One area near the forehead,the medial prefrontal cortex,connects music with memories stored in two other areas: the amygdale and hippocampus.That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's,listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.With the evidence of music's benefits pouring in,it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems.People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment,music is also great for the brain.（1）Scientists are studying music because________.A. music plays a very important role in our livesB. music can be used for medical treatmentsC. our brains can possess music in different waysD. music education has received a lot of attention．（2）According to the Canadian study, which children had increased IQ scores？________A. Those who had always played music.B. Those who already had high IQs.C. Those who could not play any instrument.D. Those who studied music for a period of time.．（3）Which of the following is a kind of disease？________A. Alzheimer's.B. Spatial reasoning.C. The amygdale and hippocampus.D. The medial prefrontal cortex.．（4）What can be the best title for the text？________A. Music and the mindB. Music and healthC. Music and educationD. Music and instruments．第二节（满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
