Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism. Their critics(批评家)seem to hate them because they have so much money to throw around. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays.
The poor old consumer! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods is largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.
Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters.
We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!
Another thing we mustn't forget is the “small ads.” What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column(栏目) but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It's the best
advertisement for advertising there is!
4. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Advertisements steal money from our pockets
B. The critics get the wrong idea of advertisements.
C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.
D. Advertisements are everywhere.
5. What is the attitude of the author toward advertisements?
A. He appreciates the role of advertisements.
B. He doubts the effect of advertisements.
C. He believes what is said in advertisements.
D. He complains too many advertisements in daily life.
6. Which of the following is Not True?
A. The personal or “agony” column makes us know more about human nature.
B. The only purpose of advertising is to sell goods.
C. A newspaper will cost us more if there is no advertisement on it.
D. Advertisement makes our life color1 ful.
7. Whicof the following shows the structure of the passage?
( ①=" Paragraph" 1, ②=" paragraph" 2, ③=" paragraph" 3, ④=" paragraph" 4 ⑤=" paragraph" 5) A B.

When you say the word donkey, whatthings come to your mind? A few people might say they’re cute, but the majority think they’re stubborn, dumb and all-round less capable than their horse s.
However, this wasn’t the case for a recently unearthed ancient Chinese noblewoman who was unexpectedly found buried with her donkeys. Published in the journal Antiquity in March, Chinese archaeologists (考古学家) first discovered the tomb in Xi’an, Shaanxi, in 2012. The team examined the remains and identified the body as Cui Shi, a Tang Dynasty high-born lady who died in 878 AD.
Speaking to Science Magazine in 2012, the study’s co-author, Fiona Marshall, said the finding caused confusion as “donkeys … are not associated with high-status people”.
However, following years of further research, the team discovered artworks and artifacts that showed a sport known as “Lvju”. This was similar to modern-day polo (马球)and was popular among noble (高贵的) women at the time. They preferred to use donkeys instead of full-sized horses for safety reasons, due to their smaller size and slower speed.
Speaking to CNN, Marshall later said, “Historical documents also showed that ladies of the late Tang court loved to play donkey polo.”
At that time in Chinese history, animals were often placed in tombs so that they could be used for a specific purpose in the afterlife. The study determined that Cui Shi likely requested that her beloved donkeys be buried with her, so that she could continue her favorite sport after death. In total, three donkeys were found inside her tomb with riding gear (装备), including stirrups (马镫). “This context provides evidence that the donkeys in her tomb were for polo, not transport,” lead author Hu Songmei of the Shaanxi Academy of Archaeology told Science Magazine.
Before the study, it was believed that donkeys were only used to carry loads, but now it may be time to see them as a sign of achieving high social status(地位), well, in ancient times.
8. What do most people think of donkeys, according to the text?
A. They are as adorable(可爱的) as horses.
B. They are stubborn and not so capable.
C. They were necessary in ancient sports.
D. They were a sign of high social status.
9. Why did Fiona Marshall feel confused when she discovered the donkeys?
A. She didn’t connect donkeys with nobles.
B. She hadn’t seen donkeys in ancient tombs before.
C. She didn’t expect to find donkeys in a woman’s tomb.
D. She didn’t understand why animals were in human tombs.
10. What do we know about the sport “Lvju” from the text?
A. Horses were preferred in Lvju.
B Lvju was similar to modern-day soccer.
C. Lvju was popular among common people.
D. Donkeys were preferred in the sport for safety.
11. The donkeys were found in the tomb of Cui Shi probably because _______.
A. she intended to use them for transport after death
B. her family didn’t want her to be lonely after death
C. she wanted to continue to play Lvju after death
D. noble women needed donkeys to maintain their dignity
D
For fishermen and sailors in the seaside town of Shangpan in Linhai, Zhejiang province, where recently 12 stranded（搁浅的）whales were found, it is not unusual to spot whales or dolphins in the sea — they would always call them haizi, or “son of the ocean”. And if the local fishermen spot such intelligent sea creatures in need, they will save them from danger without hesitation.
In the recent rescue of melon-headed whales, they tried their best to help as a 37-second video of a young man sleeping in the water holding a whale soon went viral online, with netizens applauding his constant efforts and caring heart in trying to keep the whale alive. “The melon-headed whale knew I was trying to save it and would be more cooperative and wouldn’t move.” said Lu Wenhui, a 21-year-old diver from Hangzhou Changqiao Polar Ocean Park, who held up the whale’s head so it could breathe easily. Lu had been staying in the water for 10 hours by 4 a.m. Wednesday after coming for the rescue work on Tuesday, when the stranded whales were first spotted.
“Whales are mammals and need to breathe in air — that’s why I had to hold its head, to ensure it could breathe smoothly the whole time,” Lu said. The stranded whales, after the struggling of being transported, were worn out when they arrived at the fish farm and might have drowned if they were left unattended.
The reason why the whales were stranded is still not clear. And these stranded whales were returned to the ocean because they are not adapted to artificial breeding environments on land.
12. What do local fishermen usually do after finding haizi in danger?
A. Ignore them.
B. Feed them.
C. Transport them.
D. Protect them.
13. Why does the author describe Lu’s rescue work?
A. To introduce the whales in detail.
B. To voice his views on the diver.
C. To praise the efforts made by rescuers.
D. To explain the value of the whales.
14. What can we say about the melon-headed whales according to the text?
A. They are rarely seen by locals.
B. They are used to breathing in the sea.
C. They aren’t suited to artificial surroundings.
D. They are fond of swimming near the seaside.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Melon-headed Whales Were Stranded
B. Rescuers Went All out to Help Whales
C. Fishermen Transported Stranded Whales
D. Witnesses Voiced Opinions on Rescue Work

Lesia Cartelli was badly burned in a gas explosion at her grandparent’s house at age 9. In fact，the burns were so severe that her own grandfather didn’t recognize her. But now，this brave woman uses her injured past to help other burn victims find healing.
On that terrible day，Lesia and her cousin were playing in their grandparent’s basement. A gas leak caused the whole house to blow up. The explosion threw many of the 9 family members in the home across the street. Already a fighter，Lesia pulled herself out of the ruins. Flames still covered her little body，so she rolled in the dirt and snow to put them out.
“It was all face，hands，back and it had burned around my waist，”she says. Lesia’s own grandfather thought she was someone else because of how badly she was burned. As nursing staff loaded her into the ambulance，her grandfather tried to leave. He thought the house ruins still held his granddaughter’s body. Even though Lesia was right in front of him，he didn’t realize it was the same child.
Catching a glimpse of her reflection in the ambulance window helped Lesia understand why her grandfather didn’t recognize her. Burns covered 50％of her body and fire burned off all her hair.
Lesia spent several months in the hospital，undergoing surgeries and skin grafts(移植). Once released，Lesia’s scars(疤)drew stares and questions from people. so she started isolating herself.
“When I was burned，everything in my life changed，”she said. “My friendships changed. I hated going to schoo1. You are coping with things you never had to cope with before. People staring at you. People asking questions. Why do you look like that?”
Lesia could have remained isolated her whole life. When bad things happen，we can always choose to move backwards or to let God give our pain purpose. Lesia chose the latter，realizing she was put on this Earth to do more than just survive.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“My life got better when I started to look at my life as a gift.”Lesia said．
