After the combination and integration (综合) of various kinds of opera over half century, the present Peking opera, was formed.Huguang Huiguan Ancient Opera BuildingAdd: 3 Hufang Road, Xuanwu District, BeijingTel: 63529134Time: 9:00-19:00; closed on MondayBus: Take buses No. 5, 6, 23, 50, 53, 102, 105 and get off at Hufangqiao stopTicket: 150 yuanLiyuan TheatreAdd: 1 / F Qianmen Hotel, Yongan Road, Hufangqiao, Xuanwu District, BeijingTel: 63540841Time: evening showBus: Take bus No.19, 40, 59, 61, 122, 819 and get off at Hufangqiao stopTicket: 20—150 yuanChangqin Grand TheatreAdd: In the Guanghua Chang an piazza, East Chang an AvenueTel: 65101309Time: afternoon showTicket: 180 yuanZhengyici TheatreAdd: 220 Xiheyan StreetTel: 63036233Time: from 19:15 pmTicket: 180 yuan56.

The purpose of the passage is to _________.A. call on people to protect Peking operaB. show you the information of Peking operaC. attract people to watch Peking opera showsD. introduce the history of Peking operaBAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder. Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆).”According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories: that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.59. The passage begins with two questions to _________.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author’s attitudeC. describe how to use the InternetD. explain how to store information60. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to understand the information.D. The second group did not understand the information.61. In transactive memory, people _________.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD. remember how to find the information62. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.CWhen I was growing up in Wyoming, my mom became the state’s first female US Marshall (执法官). I will never forget the local newspaper headline that read, “Just one of the boys.” I was pleased that she had been recognized for her success in a field that’s traditionally for men.Some might say I have followed in her footsteps—I’ve made a name for myself in sailing, a sport often considered “a man’s world”. I’m taking part in the V olvo Ocean Race(VOR)—the most competitive and dangerous offshore race in the world. This year, for the first time in over ten years, there’s an all-female team, and I’m a part of it.In the summer of 2008, I went to St Croix through a college internship program focused on educating locals about HIV and AIDS. There, I discovered my love for sailing and later, offshore racing. Because I grew up in Wyoming, I didn’t know that sailing was a member-only club. My lack of fear allowed me to talk to lots of sailors.SCA, a global hygiene company, made the decision to support an all-female team because women buy most of its products. When they began accepting applications, I made it my mission to become a part of the team.After a stressful, two year application, I finally got the call. I moved to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands and began training with the team immediately. I made Team SCA and would be sailing in the big race with only six years of experience.Getting here wasn’t easy. I’m often asked how I made the team, not only because I didn’t have much experience, but also because sailing is considered a male sport. But I didn’t know that, so I gave it everything I had.As women, we need to approach our dreams as if we deserve to achieve them as much as men, because we do.63. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. The difficulties the author met with in sailing.B. The author’s experience of engaging in sailing.C. Why the author was not afraid to engage in sailing.D. The author’s passion for sailing.64. What does the author mean by saying “I have followed in her footsteps” in paragraph 2?A. Both the author and her mother have established a high reputation in a field for men.B. The author goes after her mother when walking.C. The author’s job is as challenging as her mother’s.D. Mother has set a good example to the author.65. According to the author, why was she able to take up sailing without any fear?A. Because she was unaware that sailing was only for men.B. Because she was inexperienced in sailing.C. Because she grew up in Wyoming.D. Because she loved sailing.66. What can be concluded from the passage?A. No women before the author had ever competed with men in sailing.B. Many people made fun of the author’s sailing ability due to her inexperience.C. When some jobs seem challenging for women, they are also challenging for men.D. The author encouraged women to try hard to achieve their dreams even if it means doing something few women do.第II卷（共34分）I. Phrases (9分)2.

meals．There's a catch，however．You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week．There are no books or television or radio for amusement．You can't leave until the week is up．And a camera will be recording your every move．Two people actually took the job．The idea came from Rob Thompson，a video artist．He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated．His goal was to raise people's awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food．He decided to pay $5，000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week．To Rob's surprise，quite a few people answered his advertisement．He had interviewed and selected Eric，a 24﹣year﹣old restaurant worker，and Para，a 24﹣year﹣old chemist．The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide．A camera would record their experiences，which would take place in an art museum．The week was long and difficult．They slept on a hard wooden floor．They couldn't stand up without hanging their heads．They ate vegetables and drank water from a garden hosepipe．Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain．There were no sinks，mirrors，or toothbrushes in the cage．Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage．Visitors who came here were warned，"Do not feed the humans．"Finally it was over，and Para and Eric appeared from their cage．They had survived the week，and they each had a $2，500 check in their hands．When RobThompson opened the cage，Eric came out，changed into clean clothes，and ate a chocolate bar right away．"It's great to be able to stand up，"he said．Para just changed her clothes and left．After a week of visitors and reporters watching her，she didn't want to

they have maintained a Body Mass Index （BMI）of at least 18.5for three months before a fashion show．That means a woman who is 68inches tall can weigh no less than 119pounds．"This law is another step in the war against eating disorders，"said physician Adatto．"Underweight models，"he explained，"can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny．"But some critics in this country say it is misguided，focusing on weight instead of health．They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry．"I think it's an approach that isn't going to work．"said eating disorder expert Susan Ice，who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models．But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized．He said．"I realized that only legislation（立法）can change the situation．There was no time to waste；so many girls were dieting to death．"However，the efforts to regulate models'weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health．Still，folks including Ice say there's no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with．"Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders，but it makes it harder，"she says．"It's a difficult recovery environment，worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal．"64．One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is．A．to change the working conditions of modelsB．to lower the chance of skinny models'deathC．to provide guidance for women worshiping thinnessD．to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders65．In the opinion of the critics，the law won't succeed because．A．it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit．B．it doesn't provide a proper approach that can work well．C．it doesn't create a healthy working environment for models．D．the fashion industry is much too influential．66．What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation？A．Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model．B．Establishing his fashion model agent．C．Being interviewed by a reporter．D．Seeing a model die from eating disorders．67．（8分）In face of global warming，much effort has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies．But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less﹣polluting energy alternatives，it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs．In the meantime，the amount of CO2in the air is rapidly approaching the limits proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC）．"As long as we're consuming fossil fuels，we're putting out CO2，"says Klaus Lackner，a geophysicist at Columbia University，"We cannot let the CO2 in the atmosphere rise indefinitely．"That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2，which the IPCC says could provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions needed to reduce global warming．"We see the potential for capture and storage to play an integral （基本的）role in reducing emissions，"says Kim Corley，Shell's senior advisor of CO2 and environmental affairs．That forward thinking strategy is gaining support．The U．S．Department of Energy recently proposed putting 1billionintoanew2.4billion coal ﹣burning energy plant．The plant's carbon﹣capture technologies would serve as a pilot project for other new coal﹣burning plants．But what do you do with the gas once you've captured it？One option is to put it to new uses．Dakota Gasification of North Dakota captures CO2 at a plant that converts （转换）coal into synthetic（合成的）natural gas．It then ships the gas 200miles by pipeline to Canada，where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations．In the Netherlands，Shell delivers CO2 to farmers who pipe it into their greenhouses，increasing their production of fruits and vegetables．However，scientists say that the scale of CO2 emissions will require vast amounts of long﹣term storage．Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean，Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline （盐的）formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world．67．What does the author intend to tell readers？A．How to find more oil and natural gases．B．How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions．C．How to deal with the greenhouse gas creatively．D．How to make good use of solar and wind energy．68．According to the passage，the following statements are true EXCEPT that．A．the idea of capturing and storing CO2 is supported by the American government B．it is widely accepted that the CO2 captured should be stored in deep geological structuresC．capturing and storing CO2 is intended to handle the problem with global warming D．long﹣term storage of CO2 is no easy job because of the scale of CO2emissions 69．By using CO2，Dutch farmers have been able to．A．increase their production of fruits and vegetables B．convert coal into synthetic natural gasC．pump it underground in oil recovery operations D．make exhausted oil and gas fields productive70．How would you understand the underlined part in the third paragraph？A．It means a project training new pilots who will serve the new strategy．B．It refers to the coal﹣burning energy plant that U．S government sponsors．C．It implies the carbon﹣capture technologies will be popular once successful．D．It shows the new idea of reduction of CO2emissions needs a large sum of investment．第四部分：任务型阅读（满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．每个空格只填一个单词．71．（10分）Learning is a daily adventure that one carries throughout life，and we should keep learning something new every day．To become a lifelong learner，first of all you should learn where your talents and interests lie．You can try many different things so that you'll find you're not only good at a few things．Be careful of past memories that tell you to stay away from certain things．This can soon prevent you seizing chances to try many new things．Anyway，be careful not to let past experiences like these cut off opportunities for you now．To make learning fun，you need to see learning as an exploration，not a chore （杂事）．Don't just force yourself to learn things because they're important or necessary．Instead，learn things you need to learn and you love to learn．Follow your heart，as well as your sense of duty．Even when you're learning the things you have to，seek to go beyond what you're being asked to learn．Look at the history，case studies，different applications，etc．，to make your learning experience much more colorful．Doing reading as much as you can is also helpful．So make friends with local new and used book sellers．Through reading you'll never stop learning．Wise people read lots of books all the time；it's as simple as that．And reading will help you know the discoveries and mistakes of others so that you don't have to learn things the hard way．So remember that books，newspapers，and magazines are all reading，and as are websites，reviews and other online sources of information．Asking the right questions can be more important than having the answers．So be sure to listen closely and understand the response．Sometimes a response is difficult to understand．Feel free to take notes，ask more questions and break down the response into smaller components （成分）to make sense of it．You can keep a diary or notebook to record what you learn and what questions you still have．Questions can teach as much as，or more than，answers．To be a lifelong learner，often evaluate （评估）and apply what you learn．Does it make sense？Is it true？Try to answer these questions and make good evaluation about what you're learning．In addition，applying what you learn is the best way to test it and it'll help you learn it more completely and keep it longer．How to become a lifelong learner．ParagraphoutlinesSupporting detailsKnow what you are good at and（71）By trying many different things，you can be aware of your possible （72）to do many things well．You should overcome your past

2017---2018学年高二英语第一学期期末试卷考试时间： 100 分钟第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AHe lived his whole life as a poor man. His art and talent were r ecognized by almost no one. He suffered from a mental illnes s that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later. But after his death, he achieved worl d fame. Today, Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh is recognized a s one of the leading artists of all time.Now, 150 years after his birth on March 30, 1853, Zundert , the town of his birth, has made 2003 “The van Gogh Year” in his honor. And the van Gogh Museum in , home to the bigge st collection of his masterpieces, is marking the anniversary w ith exhibitions throughout the year. The museum draws aroun d 1.3 million visitors every year. Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life. Others are first interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art.Van Gogh was the son of a pastor(牧师). He left school when he was just 15. By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher. Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art.Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotions i nto his paintings and show his feelings about a scene. His styl e is marked by short, broad brush strokes(笔画).“Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use color more freely, in order to express myself m ore forcibly,” he wrote in a letter to his brother in 1888.Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life. He r elied heavily on the support from his brother, an art dealer wh o lived in . But now his works are sold for millions of dollars. H is portrait of Dr. Gacher sold for $89.5 million in 1990. It is the highest price ever paid for a painting. “I think his paintings are powerful and the brilliant colors in them are attractive to peop le,” said a Van Gogh’s fan.1. All through his life, Van Gogh .A. depended on his brotherB. worked hard on art studiesC. was not recognized by peopleD. expressed himself in pai ntings2.Van Gogh killed himself because of .A. the poor lifeB. his illnessC. his pain from left earD. the objections from the artists of hi s time3.One of the characteristics of Van Gogh’s paintings is .A. the likeness between his paintings and the realityB. the short time for him to complete a paintingC. the various styles mixed togetherD. the special strokes he made4.We can infer from the passage that .A. his powerful art came from his poor lifeB. his fellow townsmen regret treating him unfairlyC. all his paintings were drawn in the last 10 years of his lifeD. most of his paintings are kept in the museum of his homet ownBIndia now accounts for (占据)17.5% of the world’s population - India’s population has gr own by more than 181 million people over the past decade to 1.21 billion, according to the 2011 census (人口普查)result.The figure shows India’s large population is growing fast— 181 million is only slightly lower than the entire population of . But the speed of growth has slowed — from 21. 5% in the last ten years to 17.6% now.More people now live in India than in the United States, I ndonesia, Brazil, Pakistan and combined.India is on course to overtake as the world’s most populous n ation by 2030, but its growth rate is falling, figures show. The census also shows a continuing preference for boys —India’s sex ratio (比例)is at its worst since the country was founded in 1947.Statistics show fewer girls than boys are being born or sur viving. The gender imbalance has widened every ten years si nce 1947. According to the 2011 census, there were 914 girls for every 1,000 boys under the age of six.“This is a serious problem,” Census Commissioner C. Chan dramauli told a press conference in the capital, . Government officials said they would review all their policies towards it, whi ch they admitted were failing. The male population has grown by 17.19% to reach 623.7 million while the female population has risen by 18.12% to reach 586.5 million.Uttar Pradesh, the census shows, is the most populous st ate with 199 million people and Lakshadweep the least popul ated at 64,429.There is good news in the field of education. The literacy rate (识字率)has gone up from about 65% in 2001 to 74% in 2011.India started the 2011 census in April last year and its cen sus is carried out every 10 years.5. According to the text, what’s the speed of ’s population gro wth now?A. 21.5%.B. 17.6%.C. 17.19%.D. 18.12%.6. The underlined word “it” in the text refers to .A. the literacy rateB. India’s large populationC. the 2011 censusD. the gender imbalance7.We can learn from the text that .A. more Indians have been educated in the past ten yearsB. New Delhi has a larger population than Uttar PradeshC. Brazil’s population is lower than 181 millionD. India will have a larger population than China in ten years8.In which section of a magazine could this passage be found ?A. Travel & Custom.B. World & Population.C. Education & Development.D. Economy & EnvironmentCPerhaps one of the most outstanding things about South Afr ican culture is that it is not one single culture, but rather a range of different cultures, making South Africa one of the most c ulturally diverse countries in the world.There are a number of cultural attractions in which are de finitely worth visiting. Take, for instance, one of the most famo us ones— , where Nelson Mandela, the first black president o f the country, was once imprisoned ! for his efforts to free his people from oppression. In KwaZulu-Natal you will find that the Zulu culture is still very much alive i n the descendents (后代)of the ancient Zulu king Shaka at Shakaland. Here tribal da nce and song is performed with vigor and you can explore the mysterious world of the Sangoma with much ceremony. In th e Eastern Cape you’ll discover the remains of Saartjie Baartm an—a woman who suffered terrible humiliation at the hands of self -righteous (自以为是的) Europeans and who has become a symbol of female emp owerment (赋权) some 200 years after her death. A visit to the will make y ou learn about some of the oldest rock art in the country, whil e a trip to the different kinds of art galleries and theaters in mo st of the cities and towns is an excellent way to enjoy South A frican art and drama. Music is another part of South African c ulture which exemplifies the range and diversity of this country's culture.Classical music, although European in nature, is enjoyed r egularly at all fresco(壁画) concerts across the country amidst the beauty of large bot anical gardens. Jazz is a favourite in the townships and it has developed and diversified into three distinctive styles: Townsh ip Jazz, Black Jazz, and Marabi. Kwaito is another favourite. Rock and pop are also popular and a number of South African musicians have created sounds which simply cannot be confi ned to a particular music group, but they are very South Africa n in nature. So come and enjoy a hands-on introduction to ’s rainbow of culture!9. This passage mainly tells us the of .A. diversity of peopleB. places of interestC. cultureD. music10. People who want to pay respect to a heroine can go to .A. Robben IslandB. KwaZulu-NatalC. the Eastern CapeD.11. According to the second paragraph, the Zulu culture .A. is disappearingB. has a long historyC. is a mix of many culturesD. is little known to the outside w orld12.How many kinds of jazz are mentioned in the last paragrap h?A. Only oneB. TwoC. ThreeD. FourDAre you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids to? Try some of these places:●Visit art museums. They offer some activities to excite yo ur kids' interest.

This is where kids ca n discover the past from dinosaur models to rock collections a nd pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of worksho ps and educational programs are prepared for kids and any s pecial events that are coming up.●Go to a You theater.

AWhile beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind off work, lakes surrounded by mountains make for an even grander experience. If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus(高加索).Lake SevanLake Sevan is situated in the central part of Armenia, in the Gegharkunik province. It is the largest lake in Armenia, located 6,200ft above sea level. Along the lake shore, there are various accommodations such as resorts and hotels with plenty of activities to partake in such as windsurfing, swimming and sunbathing. While there, do not forget to visit one of the famous cultural monuments, the Sevanavank Monastery, and it offers a great view of the lake as well.Lake ParavaniLake Paravani, located at 6,801ft above sea level, is in the south of Georgia, near the Javakheti plateau. At this level, altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to be prepared to adapt to it properly, or bring medication for altitude sickness. Being a volcanic lake makes for a more interesting experience. The lake is best known for fishing. Do not come home during the winter months when the lake freezes.Lake CildirLake Cildir is located in the Ardahan province, East Turkey, near the borders of Georgia and Armenia. It is the second largest freshwater lake of Eastern Turkey, and many tourists are notaware of this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus. The lake freezes during late November. If the winter is not extremely cold, you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing.Lake VanLake Van is the must visit of all lakes in this list. The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake here. It’s situated at 5, 380ft above sea level, and unique to lakes around the world, the water is high in salt content. 1．If you want to visit some historic sites during your travel by a lake, you can go to_______ .A. Lake CildirB. Lake ParvaniC. Lake SevanD. Lake Van2．What is special about Lake Van?A. Its water is high in salt.B. It is a volcanic lake.C. It is globally the largest lake.D. It is surrounded by mountains. 3．What challenge are travelers most likely to face while visiting Lake Paravani?A. Lack of medicine.B. V olcano eruptions.C. Altitude sickness.D. Low temperature all the year. 4．Which destinations would be attractive to a fishing lover?A. Lake Sevan and Lake Pa ravani.B. Lake Pravani and Lake Cildir.C. Lake Cildir and Lake Van.D. Lake Sevan and Lake Van.BIt is commonly believed that all over the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys’schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Always boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和……相符) the ＂boy code＂of hiding their emotions to be a ＂real man＂.Surprisingly, the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.George Carl, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teach ers can adjust lessons to boys’learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote thestudy’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with ＂boy-focused＂approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given ＂hands-on＂lessons where they are allowed to walk around. ＂Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes,＂James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be ＂masterful and in charge＂in relationships. ＂In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,＂the study reported. 5．The writer argues that a single-sex school would __________.A. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyB. help boys to be more competitive in schoolsC. force boys to be their emotions to be ＂real men＂D. naturally strengthen boys’traditional image of a man6．Traditionally, in a mixed school boys __________.A. behave more responsiblyB. perform relatively betterC. grow up more healthilyD. receive a better education7．In Abigail James’opinion, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______.A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inB. boys can focus on their lessons without being distractedC. teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics of boysD. teaching can be designed to promote boys’team spirit8．The underlined word ＂acute＂in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______ .A. lovelyB. seriousC. sharpD. dullC＂BANG!＂the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. ＂Never set foot in this house again!＂stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: ＂Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me？＂In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except father’s.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. ＂Am I wrong＂I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love—it’s second to none.9．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?A. The author fully understood why he and his father had different thinking.B. The author and his father lacked communication.C. The author’s father didn’t approve of his stamp collecting.D. The author’s father opened the door for him when he came back.10．According to the author, why did his father often shout at him ?A. Perhaps the father was getting older and older.B. Perhaps the father had been used to doing that.C. Perhaps the son had already grown up.D. Perhaps they never agreed with each other.11．What wa s the author’s attitude towards his father at the end of the story?A. He was frustrated with his father.B. He loved his father.C. He was afraid of his father.D. He was dissatisfied with his father.DScientists are debating how to limit their newly-discovered power to change genetic structure.Scientists already modify the genes of farm animals and agricultural plants to make them more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus. They might also be able to permanently remove species of plants and animals that are destructive to other species.In a report published last week, the U. S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAS) said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are released into the wild.Sixteen biologists, ethicists(伦理学家) and policymakers are on an NAS committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But, they say, there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms (生物体) from the laboratory into nature.Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction(繁殖).Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a country’s borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet.12．What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have?A. Changing the Zika virus permanently.B. Removing the destructive sp ecies for ever.C. Having changed genes in their next generations.D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.13．As for genetically changed wild animals and plants ,what are scientists worried about?A. They may become weaker or die out.B. They may be more productive.C. They may cause damage to their living habitat.D. Their genes may spread to later generations.14．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Scientists are not sure what exact results gene modification leads to.B. Scientists won’t modify any genes before they make the final decision.C. Gene modification has benefited some farm animals and agricultural plants.D. Scientists have not applied gene modification to wild animals and plants in case of possible danger.15．What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stop research on gene controlB. How to change genetic structureC. Power and danger of gene controlD. Advantages of gene control in wild animals and plants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。

Actually change has already begun through climate chang es, but most humans haven’t noticed this yet. Climate change has begun to influence the world already and will begin to wo rsen within the next few years. Around 2020 most people will begin to see that the results of climate change will be far more serious than now understood.As the planet is under big geological stresses, which are conti nuously increasing, it will in the future no longer be able to su pport its population. Scarcity of resources, over-farming, lack of clean air, not enough clean drinking water an d drought are some of the issues that will all play a much grea ter role in the near future.Humans have caused large ecological devastation. The lifesty les of many people are improving at a fast speed; however, th is will finally result in a lack of some precious resources. Whe n this scarcity begins to happen, people will no longer be able to have sustainable lifestyles.It’s important to understand that everyone plays a role in the whole process of life.

So the future de pends on the choices we make at the present moment.While more and more people are becoming aware of climate change and other environmental problems related to global w arming, not all are fully understanding how far-reaching its effects will be. Unfortunately, most of the humans are aware that the planet is n’t functioning well, but they don’t understand that this is creating a major problem for the future survival of humans.So, every person should make the necessary changes to redu ce their influence on the environment and help create a more sustainable future.24.

This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at rand om. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a pictur e of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only a nimal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sha rer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone w ho had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgo t my beagle.There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identic al to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on th e cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the b ook, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I re ad very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally foun d his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued t he final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog an d I were, in my mind, running together.My mother's call returned me to the real world .I suddenly real ized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading th at book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Bo oks could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read the m.I never told my mother about my "miraculous"（奇迹般地）experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable i mprovement in my classroom performance during the next ye ar. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thou sands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authore d his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.28. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to .A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons29.The book caught the author's eye because .A. it reminded him of his own dogB. he found its title easy to understandC. it contained pretty pictures of animalsD. he liked children's stories very much30.Why could the author manage to read the book through?A. He was forced by his mother to read it.B. He identified with the story in the book.C. The book told the story of his pet dog.D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.31.Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. My Passion for ReadingB. Mum's Strict Or derC. Reunion with My BeagleD. The Charm of a Bo okDNowadays, new technologies continue to emerge. From self-driving cars to carebots (care+robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible t hreat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing to day will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, a nd a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Work place Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative int elligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligenc e.The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business l eaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessaril y mean losing jobs --- just changing what people do.” growth in new jobs could occ ur as much, according to the research. “T he growth of 20 to 4 0 person companies that have the speed and technological kn ow-how(专门技术) will directly challenge big companies,” it states.A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts i n artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the f uture and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots donot take the place of more jobs than they create,” according t o Aaron Smith, the report’s co- author.“Technol ogy will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem li kely to be created. Although there have always been unemplo yed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,”Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin to ld researchers.32.We can infer from the text that in the future _________.A. people will face many difficultiesB. people will take up more creative jobsC. artificial intelligence will threaten people’s livesD. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces33.According to the report, ________.A. people won’t necessarily lose jobsB. big companies will face fewer challengesC. small companies will win against big companiesD. most people will become interested in technology34.What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?A. MixedB. WorriedC. HopefulD. Doubtful35.Jonathan Grudin’s words in the last paragraph suggest tha t ________.A. there will be enough jobs for peopleB. things will change a lot in a few yearsC. many people will become unemployedD. technology will totally change future jobs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符合各段大意的最佳选项。

After we decided that we would volunteer in Nepal, I did some research on the Internet and I found V olunteer Nepal and felt strongly that it was the right choice for us.While making our plans, Jason and I realized that others might like the opportunity to be a part of our experience. So before leaving for Nepal, we asked the people we knew whether they would be interested in donating (捐赠) cash or goods to Nepal Orphans (孤儿) Home.One friend, whose family owns a chain called Drake Supermarket, told others about it. His effort paid off. We received donations that filled 29 boxes with sporting goods, toys, coloring books, pencils, children’s books, and more. The boxes were later taken to Drake’s warehouse (仓库)where I prepared them for shipment(运输). Drake agreed to ship them to Nepal for free.The boxes had arrived at the V olunteer House when we arrived there. The next day, Jason and I unpacked the boxes. The children from the orphanages lined up and were each able to choose a gift. This process took about an hour, but the looks on their faces and the happiness that we saw in their eyes made it one of the best days of our life.We visited the orphanages there in the following days. Being with the children at the orphanages was both sad and wonderful. I’m sure that anyone who has volunteered will understand what I mean by that. My experience as a volunteer was very beneficial. It has changed me as a person and the way I viewed life in the past.24．The writer did some research on the Internet probably to ________.A．get in touch with some students B．find some friends to volunteer with him C．decide in which country to volunteer D．find an organization for volunteers 25．Before leaving for Nepal, the writer ________.A．received many donations from other peopleB．filled 29 boxes with the things he boughtC．asked his friends to go with himD．bought many things in Drake Supermarket26．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A．The writer and his friend took the gifts to the orphanages.B．The writer didn’t expect the kids would love the gifts.C．The children were very happy to receive the gifts.D．The children had never received gifts from others before.27．The writer thinks that his experience as a volunteer was ________.A．useless B．helpful C．boring D．disappointingCWhen people were building houses, they used to consider not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world,people share their houses with their livestock (家畜). During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.28. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A. The climate of their areas.B. The fashions for their houses.C. The energy for their houses.D. The building materials for their houses.29.
