No card came with it. Calls to the flower shops were not helpful at all. After a while I stoppedtrying to discover the sender's name and was just very pleased with the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged this imagining. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man who I looked after when he was ill. As girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy.One month before my graduation, my father died. I feit very sad and didn't want to go to the coming graduation dance at all. And I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely,strong and perfect with perhaps bit of mystery.My mother died ten days after was married. I was 22.

A Childhood DreamB. A Mother's LoveC. A Graduation DreamD. A Special BirthdayCHanukkah （光明节），the annual （每年的）Festival of Lights，is celebrated with zeal （热情）by the Jewish people around the world．They celebrate the holiday with the lighting of the menorah （多连灯烛台），traditional foods，games and gifts．Hanukkah is a Jewish festival．It falls on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kiskv （犹太教历），which is usually sometime in December．The festival celebrates the time，over 2，000years ago，when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion （宗教）．When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem（耶路撒冷），they found there was only enough holy（神圣的）oil to keep the sacred light （神圣之灯）burning for one day．However，to their surprise，this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights，until the people had time to make more oil．At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick （called a Menorah）that holds nine candles．On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit，and each day this candle is used to light another candle，until on the eighth day，the last day，all the candles are lit．During Hanukkah，people go to the synagogue （犹太教堂）to pray and to remember the miracle （奇迹）of the holy oil．Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together．People exchange gifts and greeting cards，and children go to parties．Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah．Potato cakes，called latkes，are a traditional Hanukkah food．Hanukkah is a relatively minor holiday in the Jewish year，however，the Hanukkah story tells of Jewish culture surviving ina non-Jewish world．57.

The passage mainly tells us about ______A. the history of Hanukkah and how it is celebratedB. why Jewish people celebrate HanukkahC. why Jewish people protect their traditionsD. the miracle of the holy oil in the Jewish temple．DWe have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious way of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”.This discovery may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals —including man —have this “inner clock” which controls the working of their bodies and influences their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.In the past, this did not matter very much because people lived in natural condition. In the modern world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very useful, then, to know more about the “inner clock”. Such ordinary things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.62. recent experiment showed that __________.A. different flowers open and close at different times of dayB. for their opening and closing, flowers do not need information from the outside worldC. flowers are influenced by weak light even when they are in a dark roomD.flowers can be used for telling the time63.The “inner clock” ___________.A. is an unimportant discoveryB. is only found in animalsC. has not been understood by farD. has an effect on human life64.Further study of the “inner clock” will be useful because ________.A. it might help us in some wayB. we do not yet understand plants and animals well enoughC. the number of spacemen and airplane pilots is fast increasingD. we should try to live more naturally than we do now65.Kept in constant darkness, flowers ___________.A、will not open or close as usualB、will not open any longerC、will open as they do in natural conditionsD、will always remain in full blossom66.________have a mysterious power of knowing time without information from the outside world.A. Animals including man as well as plantsB. All living things except manC. Flowers are the only things in the world thatD. Neither animals nor plantsEIn the new film, Avengers: Age of Ultron(复仇者联盟:奥创时代), a computer which is designed to bring peace to the world decides that the simplest way to achieve peace is to kill all humans—no people, no war. Yet the computer, Ultron, finally failed, but the film is making people nervous about what the future will be like when machines become programmed with artificial intelligence(人工智能).Artificial intelligence is the ability of computers to do things that require thought. Right now computers don't really think, they just process a lot of information very quickly. But scientists are developing new computers that will act like the human brain. They will be able to think and create, and not just follow the instructions of a human programmer.Gray Scott, an American scientist who spends his time thinking about the future, is hopeful about the future of artificial intelligence and says it will be helpful to humans. It will do most of our jobs and allow people to enjoy life. However, Elon Musk, the inventor of the Tesla electric car, says these machines with artificial intelligence are "probably more dangerous than anything else" and once they begin thinking for themselves, they will be out of human control.It's a bit frightening(令人害怕的)to think that some day, instead of machines working for us, we will be working for them; or, even worse, not working at all. By 2019，it′s said that 50 percent of American jobs will be done by computers. People with little knowledge and few skills have lost most of these jobs. However, with artificially intelligent machines, even highly-educated and highly-skilled workers may be out of work. Engineers, doctors, and even scientists may find themselves jobless.In the 19th century England, there was a group called the Luddites. They were textile(纺织的)workers whose jobs had been done by machines. They destroyed(毁坏) the machines in hopes of getting their jobs back. It didn't work. Technology moved forward, as it always does, and people had to get used to that.Perhaps one day we will have to use our "real" intelligence to make cure a machine′s"artificial" intelligence doesn't lose control and cause more harm than good.( )67. What does the underlined word "they" refer to?A. The scientists.B. The new computers.C. The workers.D. The instructions.( )68. Why did the workers destroy the machines in the 19th century England?A. They were paid little.B. They hoped to get more money.C. Machines broke down from time to time.D. Machines took away their jobs.( )69. What does the 4th paragraph tell us?A. Artificial intelligence is harmless to the world.B. The possible danger that machines might bring.C. Artificial intelligence is helpful to humans.D. People with knowledge and skills will be safe.( )70. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Computers can think like people.B. Artificial intelligence will make people enjoy life better.C. People will control the machines with artificial intelligence.D. Artificial intelligence makes people nervous.五、词汇（每小题1分，共15分）A）根据句意及所给中文提示、英文解释或首字母，写出句中所缺单词，每空限填一词共671.

One part of the ring is open to the water.There is a little round lake inside the island. If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral.You may think they are flowers.If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.There the sea brought to it small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island. The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small. Don't they teach us a lesson?

The latest popular hand gesture (手势) is to curl both of your hands and put them together to make a heart-shape. Known as "hand heart, many young stars in the US including Justin Bieber, Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have done the move in recent photos. "The heart- hand gesture means something between "I love you and "thank you," "said the country singer Taylor Swift. It's a sweet, simple message which you can send without saying a word.”Taylor Swift often puts her hands above her head in the heart shape at her concerts. And she is believed to be the first to make the gesture popular.Last month during a charity show, Justin Bieber and his superstar friends did it to help out three kids whose parents were killed in a car accident. The gesture became a real hit after that.“It used to take longer for nonverbal(不用语言的) culture to move。

But if your brain (大脑) is only the same size as a bird's, you will know how difficult it is to learn English. That is what some birds can do.Many birds can copy (模仿) the sounds of language. A type of African parrot is very good at doing this. This kind of parrot has grey feathers and people say they are clever.Every December in London, the National Cage and Aviary Bird Show tries to find the best “talking” bird in the world. One bird named Prudle stood out (突出) among the “talking birds” by winning this prize every year from 1965 to 1977. In 1958, somebody took Prudle from his nest in Uganda, and then sold it to a woman named Iris Frost. She then took care of him at her home in Seaford, England. Before he died in 1994, aged 35, Prudle knew almost 800 words in English. Prudle was also the oldest bird in the world that lived in a cage.Another parrot named Puck was tested in 1993. It turned out that Puck knew even more words than Prudle. Puck knew more than 1,700 English words. In the 2003 Guinness Book of World Records, Puck was listed as knowing more words than any other bird in the world. 21．What is Prudle according to the article?A．A bird.B．A cage.C．A prize.D．A show. 22．How many years did Prudle win the speaking match for birds?A．12.B．800.C．35.D．1965. 23．Who was Iris Frost?A．A parrot.B．A Ugandan woman.C．Prudle's owner.D．Puck's owner. 24．Which of the following is true?A．Puck lived longer than Prudle.B．Puck knew more words than Prudle.C．Puck spoke faster than Prudle.D．Puck was bigger than Prudle.25．Which of the following may be the best title?A．A bird show.B．The difficulties of learning English.C．International pets.D．Clever birds.Near the village, there is an old famous temple. Some people want to build a new house where the temple now stands, because they can find no other area to build them, while others disagree with them. They meet to decide how to solve the problem. Here are their opinionsabout it.The expert wants to protect the temple and believes that there are some interesting things buried in the ground. If it is destroyed or moved, people may never learn about how people lived in the past.The businessman thinks that the houses should be built. History is important, but we must think about the future. The village needs development and building new houses will offer jobs to hundreds of people.Villager A says, “We should build the new houses because we need houses to live in.”Villager B says, “We should protect the temple because it can attract many tourists to come for a visit. If the temple is destroyed or moved, we will lose a lot of business.”The village leader thinks that he has a duty to make life better for the villagers. They need jobs and new houses. He also thinks the cultural site (遗迹) is important and they should be careful with it as well.26．The expert doesn’t want to _______ the old famous temple.A．rebuild B．protect C．pull down D．fall down 27．The businessman thinks building houses there can _______.A．help the village developB．attract many tourists to come for a visitC．help people learn about how people lived in the pastD．help people learn about the interesting things buried in the ground28．_______ agree that they should build new houses there.A．The expert and the village leaderB．The businessman and Villager AC．Villager A and Villager BD．Villager B and the businessman29．The village leader thinks _______.A．they should destroy the templeB．they needn’t build new housesC．they should build the temple to make life betterD．they should not only build new houses but also be careful with the temple 30．According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?A．It’s difficult to satisfy everyone.B．The cultural site is not so important.C．It’s easy to make a decision on the problem.D．The villagers will lose their jobs with the development of their hometown.As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith’s death(死亡), worries about amusement park safety(游乐场安全性) grow.Cindy is not the first child who died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old girl waited to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter Rosie alive again.“My heart goes out to the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know,” said Barry. She is one of the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling.In 1995, Rosie’s mom said that something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police found no evidence(证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell out of the car.“I couldn’t believe that such a thing could happen still and again,” said Barry. She believes Rosie’s death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety.She finds that not much has changed in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. In her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea that riding is good, safe and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety first.There is no exact number of amusement park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites. But Barry doesn’t accept that. “My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at Worlds of Fun in all of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people that went there. The number doesn’t mean anything, you know, because when your child is the one, that’s one too many,” she said.31．What does the underlined phrase “goes out to” mean in Chinese?A．制止B．同情C．想念D．忍受32．What happened to Barry in 1995?A．Something went wrong with her car.B．Rosie didn’t arrive home on time.C．She got to know the Smith family.D．Rosie fell off an amusement park ride.33．How did Barry feel when saying the words in Paragraph 5?A．Afraid.B．Angry.C．Hopeful.D．Interested. 34．What can we learn about amusement parks?A．They are building more rides.B．Most of them put safety first.C．They cause a large number of deaths.D．They paid Barry a lot for Rosie’s death.35．What is the text mainly about?A．The story of the Smith family.B．The death of a 10-year-old girl.C．The safety of amusement parks.D．The future of amusement parks.四、根据汉语提示填空五、根据句意填空六、多句选词填空七、划线部分提问八、同义句转化九、划线部分提问十、改写句子十一、完成句子十二、短文汉语提示填空Dear sister,I've been happy here in New York.

The letter you sent to me was written in good English.Well, I want to i 57 my friend Diana to our home. I dare not tell Mama directly.

She has great curiosity about our family life and will ask you many questions about it. Isn't it a good chance to u 60 each other? I'm sure you'll learn many things from her.Please give my love to our father and mother!Your sister,Mei十三、阅读回答问题Give water, save livesA bottle of water may not seem like much to you, but thousands of bottles will be of great help for people who live in drought-hit(遭受旱灾) areas in China.Since last autumn, there has been very little rain in Southwest China. Some places, especially in Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, have experienced a serious drought. Crops (庄稼) died, the land cracked(裂开), and wells (井) and rivers dried up. More than 20 million people are having difficulty in finding safe drinking water.After learning about the drought, many people around the country helped by giving water, money and other things.Last week, every member of the Communist Youth League (共青团员) and Young Pioneers(少先队员) were encouraged to give one bottle of water to the drought-hit areas. Students in primary schools and middle schools quickly joined the activity. In Yuhua Primary School in Xi' an, 900 students bought over 1,000 bottles of water with their pocket money.They also wrote their wishes on the bottles.The serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving water. Students from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou, Guangdong went on the street to tell people to take part in water-saving activities.“I've heard that some children in drought-hit areas don't have enough drinking water. They have to drink muddy (含有泥土的) water. I feel really sad about that," said one student. “I decide to take a shower twice a week instead of every day to save water,” he said.61．Why did a serious drought happen in Southwest China?62．How much water did the students in Y uhua Primary School buy with their pocket money last week?63．What did people do after learning about the drought?64．What did the people in drought-hit areas need most?65．What has the serious drought made students realize?。

No card came with it. Calls to the flower shops were not helpful at all. After a while I stoppedtrying to discover the sender's name and was just very pleased with the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged this imagining. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man who I looked after when he was ill. As girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy.One month before my graduation, my father died. I feit very sad and didn't want to go to the coming graduation dance at all. And I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely,strong and perfect with perhaps bit of mystery.My mother died ten days after was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stoppedcoming.54. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. The author found the sender by calling the flower shops.B.

A Childhood DreamB. A Mother's LoveC. A Graduation DreamD. A Special BirthdayCHanukkah （光明节），the annual （每年的）Festival of Lights，is celebrated with zeal （热情）by the Jewish people around the world．They celebrate the holiday with the lighting of the menorah （多连灯烛台），traditional foods，games and gifts．Hanukkah is a Jewish festival．It falls on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kiskv （犹太教历），which is usually sometime in December．The festival celebrates the time，over 2，000years ago，when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion （宗教）．When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem（耶路撒冷），they found there was only enough holy（神圣的）oil to keep the sacred light （神圣之灯）burning for one day．However，to their surprise，this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights，until the people had time to make more oil．At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick （called a Menorah）that holds nine candles．On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit，and each day this candle is used to light another candle，until on the eighth day，the last day，all the candles are lit．During Hanukkah，people go to the synagogue （犹太教堂）to pray and to remember the miracle （奇迹）of the holy oil．Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together．People exchange gifts and greeting cards，and children go to parties．Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah．Potato cakes，called latkes，are a traditional Hanukkah food．Hanukkah is a relatively minor holiday in the Jewish year，however，the Hanukkah story tells of Jewish culture surviving ina non-Jewish world．57.

During Hanukkah，families and friends usually ______ ．A. send each other postcardsB. go to parties togetherC. get togetherD. light candles together61. The passage mainly tells us about ______A. the history of Hanukkah and how it is celebratedB. why Jewish people celebrate HanukkahC. why Jewish people protect their traditionsD. the miracle of the holy oil in the Jewish temple．DWe have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious way of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”.This discovery may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals —including man —have this “inner clock” which controls the working of their bodies and influences their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.In the past, this did not matter very much because people lived in natural condition. In the modern world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be veryuseful, then, to know more about the “inner clock”. Such ordinary things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.62. recent experiment showed that __________.A. different flowers open and close at different times of dayB. for their opening and closing, flowers do not need information from the outside worldC. flowers are influenced by weak light even when they are in a dark roomD.flowers can be used for telling the time63.The “inner clock” ___________.A. is an unimportant discoveryB. is only found in animalsC. has not been understood by farD. has an effect on human life64.Further study of the “inner clock” will be useful because ________.A. it might help us in some wayB. we do not yet understand plants and animals well enoughC. the number of spacemen and airplane pilots is fast increasingD. we should try to live more naturally than we do now65.Kept in constant darkness, flowers ___________.A、will not open or close as usualB、will not open any longerC、will open as they do in natural conditionsD、will always remain in full blossom66.________have a mysterious power of knowing time without information from the outside world.A. Animals including man as well as plantsB. All living things except manC. Flowers are the only things in the world thatD. Neither animals nor plantsEIn the new film, Avengers: Age of Ultron(复仇者联盟:奥创时代), a computer which is designed to bring peace to the world decides that the simplest way to achieve peace is to kill all humans—no people, no war. Yet the computer, Ultron, finally failed, but the film is making people nervous about what the future will be like when machines become programmed with artificial intelligence(⼈⼯智能).Artificial intelligence is the ability of computers to do things that require thought. Right now computers don't really think, they just process a lot of information very quickly. But scientists are developing new computers that will act like the human brain. They will be able to think and create, and not just follow the instructions of a human programmer.Gray Scott, an American scientist who spends his time thinking about the future, is hopeful about the future of artificial intelligence and says it will be helpful to humans. It will do most of our jobs and allow people to enjoy life. However, Elon Musk, the inventor of the Tesla electric car, says these machines with artificial intelligence are "probably more dangerous than anything else" and once they begin thinking for themselves, they will be out of human control.It's a bit frightening(令⼈害怕的)to think that some day, instead of machines working for us, we will be working for them; or, even worse, not working at all. By 2019，it′s said that 50 percent of American jobs will be done by computers. People with little knowledge and few skills have lost most of these jobs. However, with artificially intelligent machines, even highly-educated and highly-skilled workers may be out of work. Engineers, doctors, and even scientists may find themselves jobless.In the 19th century England, there was a group called the Luddites. They were textile(纺织的)workers whose jobs had been done by machines. They destroyed(毁坏) the machines in hopes of getting their jobs back. It didn't work. Technology moved forward, as it always does, and people had to get used to that.Perhaps one day we will have to use our "real" intelligence to make cure a machine′s"artificial" intelligence doesn't lose control and cause more harm than good.( )67. What does the underlined word "they" refer to?A. The scientists.B. The new computers.C. The workers.D. The instructions.( )68. Why did the workers destroy the machines in the 19th century England?A. They were paid little.B. They hoped to get more money.C. Machines broke down from time to time.D. Machines took away their jobs.( )69. What does the 4th paragraph tell us?A. Artificial intelligence is harmless to the world.B. The possible danger that machines might bring.C. Artificial intelligence is helpful to humans.D. People with knowledge and skills will be safe.( )70. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Computers can think like people.B. Artificial intelligence will make people enjoy life better.C. People will control the machines with artificial intelligence.D. Artificial intelligence makes people nervous.五、词汇（每⼩题1分，共15分）A）根据句意及所给中⽂提⽰、英⽂解释或⾸字母，写出句中所缺单词，每空限填⼀词共671.

As a father of a school boy,Mr.Smith wants to develop his son’s good learning habits,which of the following is the best for him?A. Huntington LearningB. Kaplan KidsC. KumonD. Tutor DoctorBA doctor was famous for his skills. Once he received a little child and he was badly ill. Thanks to the doctor’s skill and care, his young patient got well and could get up and run again.The child’s mother was very thankful to the doctor, and she visited him to thank him for what he did for her child. “Doctor,” she said, “you saved my little son. I don’t know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude（感谢）. I hope you will a ccept it.” The doctor stood up and said coldly, “Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done.” The lady was so surprised and hurt so much that she could not reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, “Perhaps you will tell me how much your fee（费用）is?”“Fifty pounds”, he answered.The lady opened the little purse and took out four fifty-pound bank notes. She gave one of them to the doctor, and put the other three back into the purse. She put the purse into her handbag said good bye to the doctor and went out of the room.54. The lady was thankful to the doctor because ________.A. he had saved her lifeB. he often called on herC. he gave her some moneyD. he saved her son’s life55. The doctor refused the lady’s purse because he thought ______.A. the purse should be given between friendsB. the purse was too smallC. the lady was not kind to himD. the lady didn’t gave him money but the purse56. What can we learn from the passage?A. The lady didn’t pay the doctor any money.B. The lady was unfriendly and cold.C. The lady wanted to give the doctor 200 pounds at first.D. The lady was angry with the doctor.CDoes handwriting matter（要紧）? Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare（宣布）handwriting is not important. New evidence（证据）shows that the link（联系）between handwriting and educational development is deep.Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, it’s not only what we write that matters — but how.A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view.A group of children did not learn to read and write.They were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline（虚线）, draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner（扫描）and showed them the picture again.It was found that when children drew a letter freehand（徒手画）without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain increased（增加）. These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write.Children chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr. James attributes（归咎于）the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.57.What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”?A. Handwriting is not very important to children.B. Handwriting has nothing to do with education.C. Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.D. Handwriting actually matters a present.58.What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to?A. How we write is as important as what we write.B. Children create ideas and remember information.C. A group of students should know what to write.D. Children read quickly when they write by hand.59.Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment?A. Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.B. Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.C. Put a brain scanner and show the image again.D. Type the image directly on a computer.60.According to the passage, the writer handwriting.A. agrees to give upB. refuses to give upC. doesn’t care aboutD. doesn’t think highly ofDDear 17-year-old self,When your Lakers’ (洛杉矶湖人队球员) dream comes true tomorrow, you need to think out a way to invest (投资) in the future of your family and friends. This sounds simple, but you have to take some time to think it over.I said invest.I did not say give.Let me explain.Just giving material things to your siblings (兄弟姐妹) and friends may seem to be the right decision. You love them, and they were always there for your growing up, so it’s only right that they should share your success and all that comes with it. You buy them a car, a big house, and pay all of their bills. You want them to live a comfortable life, right?But that is not the truth.You will come to understand that you were taking care of them because it made you feel good to see them smiling. That was very selfish of you. While you were feeling satisfied(满意的) with yourself, you were slowly eating away at their own dreams and ambitions（抱负）. You were adding material things to their lives, but taking away the most precious（珍贵）gifts of all: independence（独立）and growth.You are going to be the leader of the family. This includes making hard choices, even if your siblings and friends do not understand them at the time.Invest in their future; don’t just give.Use your success, wealth and influence to put them in the best position to realize their own dreams and find their true purposes. Put them through school, set them up with job interviews and help them become leaders on their own .I’m writing to you now so that you can begin this process quickly because your success has led to anger and jealousy(嫉妒) among your family.There’s much more I could write to you, but at 17, I know you don’t have the attention span (注意力持续时间) to sit through 2,000 words. Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and heartache.Much love,Kobe61.What might be the best title of this letter？A．To My Younger SelfB．For My Dear FamilyC．To My Beloved SonD．For My Older Self62.According to Kobe in Paragraph5, “giving”could make ______.①him feel satisfied with himself①his siblings and friends depend on him①his siblings and friends live a comfortable life①him stand out from other playersA．①①① B．①①① C．①①① D．①①①63.According to the article, Kobe______.A．never dreamed of playing for the LakersB．spent plenty of money buying houses for himselfC．had a circle of supportive friends and siblingsD．had trouble dealing with family relationships(关系)64.According to the article, Kobe should have（本应该）______ when he was younger.A．shared his success 、wealth and influence with othersB．refused to live with his siblings and friendsC．looked for well-paid jobs for his siblings and friendsD．encouraged his siblings and friends to achieve their goals through hard work65. Kobe's purpose in writing this letter was to .A. criticize (批评) his family for wasteful spending.B. give advice to young people about how to treat their family if they become rich.C. complain about feeling tired of looking after his familyD. tell young people to try their best to take good care of their familyEImagine having a ear made out of an apple. It seems like a crazy idea from a horror movie. But it could happen in the near future.Canadian biophysicist Andrew Pelling used an apple to grow a human ear. He thinks fruits and vegetables can be used to cheaply repair human body parts in the future.Scientists have been trying to grow organs(器官) in labs(实验室) to replace our old ones. But it is a hard job. For example, liver cells(肝细胞) can grow in a lab, but the cells still need things like blood vessels(血管) to actually work. These things have to grow inside a scaffold(支架).In the past, scientists have used man-made materials, animals parts and even dead people as scaffolds. But that has proved to be difficult and expensive.Pelling and his team, however, found the apple to be a cheap and easy-to-use scaffold.They first cut an apple into the shape of an ear. Then they used a special way to take out the apple's cell and make it a scaffold. The team then added human cells to the apple, and watched it grow."You can implant these scaffolds into the body, and the body will send in cells and a blood supply and actually keep these things alive," Pelling said during a Ted Talk speech.The team put the apple scaffold inside a living mouse and the mouse's cells slowly took over the pieces of apple.Now Pelling is thinking of other fruit, plants or vegetables to use.He says that the shape of flower petals(花瓣)could be perfect for repairing skin.AndAsparagus(芦笋) could fix a broken spine(脊柱).Now, Pelling and his team are trying hard to put these crazy ideas into reality.66.Where is Pelling from?A.CanadaB. AmericaC. AustraliaD. Italy67. Pelling's idea of man-made ear seems crazy because he use as scaffolds.A. animal partsB. dead peopleC. man-made materialsD. ordinary apples68. The underlined word “implant" in Paragraph 7 probably means .A. PickB. putC. produceD. protect69. Which is the right order of making an ear out of an apple according to the passage?a. put the apple scaffold inside a mouseb. add human cells to the apple scaffoldc. cut an apple into the shape of an eard. make the apple ear a scaffolde. take out the apple's cells in a special wayA. a-b-c-d-eB. b-c-d-a-eC. c-e-d-b-aD. c-d-a-e-b70.From the last three paragraphs, we can infer (推断) that Pelling will experiment (实验) with other fruit, plants or vegetablesA. to make human earsB. to repair burnt skinC. to fix a broken spineD. to make human body parts五、词汇(每小题1分,共15分)A.请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意写出句中所缺单词使句子通顺71.

How much do you know about it? The following questions and their answers will help you to know more about the Internet.What is the Internet?The Internet is a large, world-wide collection (聚集) of computer networks. A network is a small group of computers put together. The Internet is many different kinds of networks from all over the world. These networks are called the Internet. If you have learned to use the Internet, you can have a lot of interest on the World Wide Web. What is the World Wide Web?The World Wide Web has been the most popular development of the Internet. It is like a big electronic book with millions of pages. These pages are called homepages. You can find information about almost anything in the world on these pages. For example, you can use the Internet instead of a library to find information for your homework. You can also find information about your favourite sport or film star, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the pages. Most pages have words, pictures and even sound or music.What is e-mail?Electronic mail (e-mail) is a way of sending messages to other people. It’s much quicker and cheaper than sending a letter. If you want to use e-mail, you must have an e-mail address. This address must have letters and dots and an @ (means “at”). For example:**************. Write a message, type a person’s e-mail address, and then send the message across the Internet. People don’t need to use stamps, envelopes or go to the post office because of the invention of the Internet. Quick, easy and interesting —that’s the Internet.( )1.

Such electronic products make the brain more active，and then influence their sleep. But according to a latest survey，more than 90% of the Americans regularly use a computer or some other kinds of electronic products in the hour before bed.Researchers are finding that manmade light from some electronic products at night may reduce the brain chemicals(化学物质) that help sleep. The researchers showed that sitting in the light from computer tablets clearly lowered levels of the chemical which manages our body clocks and plays a role in the sleep cycle.In the study, the researchers let volunteers read，play games and watch movies on a tablet for different time while measuring(测量) how much light their eyes received.They found that two hours of sitting before a bright tablet screen at night reduced the sleep chemical levels by about 22%.Studies of students using computers at night have got the similar results .And researchers say that may not only cause sleeplessness，but also raise the risk of obesity(肥胖症)，diabetes(糖尿病) and other diseases.To be on the safe side，the researchers advise us to use computers less before bed，or at the very least turning down your screen as much as possible.( )1．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．Americans don't get enough sleep.B．Electronic products are very popular.C．The brain becomes more active at night.D．Sleep experts never use smart phones.( )2．The volunteers in the study did the following things EXCEPT ________．A．listen to musicB．play computer gamesC．watch moviesD．read electronic books( )3．How may electronic products influence people's sleep?A．Make our brains less active.B．Make our body weak.C．Lower our brains' chemicals that help sleep.D．Change our body clocks.( )4．The underlined word “that”probably means ________ in the passage.A．making a survey about sleepB．using smart phones in the day timeC．sitting in a bright roomD．surfing the Internet at nightDA 12-man Chinese team landed on the Antarctic icecap peak(南极冰盖的高峰) on January 18. They are the first people to reach the peak of Dome A. It is 4,039 meters above sea level.The team built a station there to study the changes of the weather, get ice samples(标本) from 150 meters to 200 meters below, and do other studies. So far, the team has got nearly 100-meter-long ice samples from a place about 300 meters under the icecap peak. It is the first time that people have been able to get samples from the icecap peak in Antarctica and it is very important for people to study the weather changes and environmental changes in this area.The Chinese scientists have also built a weather study system at the peak. The system can send out information about temperature, how strong the wind is, and many other things about the weather.The Antarctic icecap makes up 70% of the Earth’s freshwater. By studying Dome A, scientists can get the lowest temperature of the Earth and other information about the world’s weather changes. We can’t get this information from other places on the Earth because Dome A is the best place for this kind of studies. So it is very important to land on the peak of Dome A.( )1. The team has got about 100-meter-long ice samples ________.A. from 150 meters to 200 meters belowB. from a place about 300 meters belowC. from 200 meters to 250 meters belowD. from a place about 150 meters below( )2 The Chinese team built a weather study system to get _____.A.the Earth’s freshwaterB. ice samples from the peakC. information about the weatherD. the news about other countries( )3.

He wanted to killing himself by jumping into the fast-flowing water.When he was about to do it, an old beggar moved towards him. "Sir, please give me some money to buy some food. I am hungry. I will pray for your health and long life."

I may be beggar but I'm not coward(儒夫) Bring that money with you to the river,sir!”Hearing his reply, the man was shocked. The satisfaction and happiness of giving him his money to the beggar disappeared immediately. He was not even able to make the beggar receive his sincere soon-to-be-useless money.At that moment, he suddenly realized the feeling that he felt just now, that good feeling and satisfaction from giving others happiness, had indeed in return become his own true happiness.

People spend countless hours and dollars into each year trying to drop these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.First, look at why you do it. In other words, what's the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you'll find that it's not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I'm sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.59.

The main purpose of this passage is to_________.A. introduce and describeB. complain and disagreeC. explain and adviseD. discuss and argueDThe first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, in the United States. It was small coffee shop. The coffee shop's' business did well, and by1981there were three more Starbucks stores in Seattle.Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment(). He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers.Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did, and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing.In1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The unique atmosphere of the espresso(浓咖啡) bars there caught his eye. To Schultz it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places: home,and coffee bars. His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle.Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new stores---and that was only the beginning. In fact, in the year 2000, three new Starbucks stores opened somewhere around the world every day!Today, Starbucks has thousands of stores, including stores in twenty-six countries. One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants. By working together with store already in the city, Starbucks gets an understanding of customers in the city This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right places for their customers.63.

You turn around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!Parapsychologists(灵学家) say that humans have natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such six sense really exists, Robert Baker, psychologist心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects ( were eating, drinking, reading, studying or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them,watching TV,during those periods. Later when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they being stared at and when they weren't. Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't.Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, "I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves."67. What's the aim of the two experiments for?A. To prove why humans have a sixth sense.B. To explain when people can have a sixth senseC.To show how people act while being watched in the lab.D. To study whether humans can sense when they are stared at.68.The underlined word "outcome" in the last paragraph most probably means.A.valueB.resultC. performanceD. connection69. In the second experiment, the subjectsA. could tell when they were stared at and when they weren't.B. couldn't tell when they were stared at and when they weren'tC. couldn't tell when they were stared at but could tell when they weren't.D. could tell when they were stared at but couldn't tell when they weren't70.
