Garfield is a popular comic book character, known for being lazy and fat. But the cat was back in the news recently for something you might not expect.A man in the United States changed the gender (性别) of Garfield to "none" on the cat's Wikipedia (维基百科) page. After that lots of people got angry and kept changing Garfield's Wikipedia page. They argued about whether the cat was a boy, girl or neither. Wikipedia finally locked the page to stop people editing it. Jim Davis, Garfield's creator, settled (解决) the argument."Garfield is male (男性), " he simply told the Washington Post. The 71﹣year﹣old artist said he liked working with animals because they didn't have to be old, young, boys or girls. He was angry that some people cared so much about Garfield's gender.It seems like quite an unnecessary argument to have. But it is not the only recent example of argument about gender.To celebrate International Women's Day in Australia earlier this year, the city of Melbourne made 10traffic lights with a figure (人形) dressed in a skirt. They were designed to celebrate women and give them more confidence in public.But not everyone thinks the idea is necessary. Some people think it is important for women to be treated fairly in Australia, but that this idea is silly."I'm all for doing anything we can for gender equity (公平), but really? " Melbourne mayor (市长) Robert Doyle told the Herald Sun. The mayor said this idea is more likely to be laughed at than bring respect to women.(1)What put Garfield the cat back in the news recently?________A The cat's lazy character.B Being included in Wikipedia.C The cat's image being changed on Wikipedia.D The cat's gender being changed on Wikipedia..(2)According to Jim Davis,________.A Wikipedia should lock the page about GarfieldB Garfield can be a boy or a girl, and young or oldC artists don't care about animals' age or genderD it's unnecessary to take Garfield's gender seriously.(3)Why did Melbourne make 10traffic lights with a figure dressed in a skirt?________A To laugh at women in publicB To celebrate International Women's DayC To bring more chances to womenD To treat women fairly in Australia.(4)What did Melbourne mayor Robert Doyle think of the traffic light idea?________A It would give women more confidence in public.B It would help women be treated fairly in Australia.C It would bring respect to women.D It was not a good ideafor gender equity..20. One day all the employees got to the office. They saw a big sign on thedoor: "Yesterday the person who's been holding you back in this company died. We invite you to join the funeral in the biggest meeting room." In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of this person. But after a while they started wondering who the dead person was.As more people started coming into the meeting room and getting closer to the coffin (棺材), the doubt grew. "Who is holding me back? ________, " everyone was thinking.One by one the employees got closer. And when they looked inside it, they suddenly became silent. They stood there and couldn't say a word, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their hearts. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself or herself.There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: "There is only one person who can set limits to your growth: it is YOU." You are the only person that can change your life. You are the only person that can make a difference to your happiness and your success. You are the only person that can help yourself. Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your partner changes or when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go further than your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life. "The most important relationship you can have is the one you have with yourself."(1) According to the sign on the door, the funeral was about a person that________A always treated people nicelyB was strict with his workmatesC had been holding someone backD made great contributions to the company.(2) What do you learn from the underlined sentence?________A They felt sorry for this person's death.B They felt relieved (释然的) that this person had died.C They used to love this person very much.D They felt surprised about the bad news..(3) From the sign next to the mirror, we can see that________ can limit your growth.A nobodyB parentsC workmatesD you.(4) What does the story want to tell us?________A Your future lies in your own hands.B Getting along well with workmates matters.C Change your life by being a nice person.D Teamwork is important to get things done.四、词汇运用(共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)根据句子意思,用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空.在答题卡标有题号的横线上,写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式(每空一词)21.

Many people believe that confident people think more highly of themselves, while those who have low self﹣esteem (自尊) think less of their good qualities. However, a new study says it might not be true, reported The Guardian.The study was done by Jonathan Freeman, a psychology (心理学) professor from the University of London, UK. He found that 98 percent of British people consider themselves to be among the nicest 50 percent of the population.In the study, Freeman first asked some people to rate (评级) their own niceness. Then he got people to answer questions like "Do you give directions to strangers?" and "Have you ever donated blood?". The results showed that people are not as nice as they think theyare. Two thirds of them seldom helped others carry heavy shopping bags, and only a quarter of them donated blood.In another study by psychologists from universities in Chicago and Virginia, US, some people were shown pictures of themselves. Some pictures had been slightly changed to make them appear more attractive. When asked to pick the unchanged pictures, people usually chose the more attractive ones.So, why do we think we're nicer than we actually are?There are many theories (理论). A popular one says we unconsciously (无意识地)deceive (欺骗) ourselves, so that we can get confidence without knowingly lying to ourselves or each other.How can we solve it? Other studies show that there is a simple way: feedback (反馈). Compare others' opinion toward yourself with your own and you will see a clearer picture.六、缺词填空(共10空,每空1分,共10分)根据短文内容和首字母提示,在下文空格处填入恰当的词使短文完整.(每空一词)32. A young rich man was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit fast in his new sports car. There were many kids(66)p________among the cars.As his car passed, one child appeared, and (67)s________a brick hit the car's side door. The young man stopped the car and jumped out. He (68)________ the kid and pushed him up against another car,(69)s________, "What is wrong with you? That's a new car. What you did just now will (70)c________me a lot of money. Why did you do it?""Please, sir, please, I'm sorry. I didn't know (71)w________ else to do! It's my brother," he said."He fell out of his wheelchair. I can't lift him up." Almost crying, the boy asked the man,"Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's(72)h________and he's too heavy for me."The young man was deeply touched and had tears in his (73)e________. He lifted the kid's brother back into the wheelchair.The man then watched the little boy (74)p________his brother toward their home.It was a long walk back to his car …a long, slow walk. He never repaired the side door. He kept it that way as a reminder. Don't go(75)t________life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention.

People smiled and carried on with their own business. I walked more slowly and stayed for longer, that moment, I knew I had to change foreigners, opinion on Colombia.Thinking about the last month in Colombia, I couldn,t believe how much I had fallen in love with it.I,ve done seven countries in seven months and over twenty-five in my lifetime, and Colombia is right up there at number one!

Here is one of his cases.Stapleton, Charles, younger brother, found that he would inherit (继承)the Baskerville lands if Charles and his nephew(侄子)---Henry both died.Charles who had a weak heart believed super natural stories. After knowing this, Stapleton had the idea of buying a huge hound, and of using the phosphorus(磷)to make it shine like the hound in one story.Then Stapleton asked his friend Laura to write a letter to bring Charles to the moor gate on that sad night. The hound, which was shining with phosphorus, chased Charles down the Yew Alley. Charles7 fear was so great that his weak heart stopped, and he died but the animal did not touch the dead body. There was no sign of murder. It was difficult for Holmes to fine the murderer.Two weeks later, Stapleton learned that Henry had reached England. He took his wife and the hound with him. He wore a false beard and followed Henry in London. He wanted to use thesame way to murder Henry there. He needed something to give the hound Henry,s smell, so he paid a woman at Henry,s hotel to steal one of his shoes. The first one was a new one, which was no use for the hound, so it was put back. And then another older shoe was stolen. Before he was ready to murder Henry, he wasn,t sure if his wife would keep his secret, so he did not tell her the truth. He locked her up in their hotel. She knew that he must have some evil plans. She sent Henry a letter which was made of words cut from a newspaper.After receiving the letter, Henry realized he was in great danger and it must have something to do with his uncle Charles, death. So he asked Holmes for help. ...38.What does the underlined word “hound” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.魔兽B.猎犬仁匕首 D.猎枪39.Paragraph 4 is mainly about.A. how Stapleton bought the houndB. how Stapleton made the hound shineC. how the hound killed CharlesD. how the hound chased Charles40.The first new shoe was not useful for the hound because.A. it didn,t have Henry,s smellB. it belonged to Henry,s wifeC. the hound saw nothing about HenryD. the hound didn't like the smell 41.What may happen ifStapleton,s wife didn,t send the letter to Henry?A.It may be easy for Henry to find that he was in danger.B.It may be easy for Stapleton,s wife to know the truth.C.Henry may be murdered easily with no sign like Charles.D.Henry may get to know the truth much more easily.DCalifornia Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday signed a law for driverlesscars to travel on public roadways, showing once again that Left Coasthas a way of making car-makers develop faster.It is not that smart minds in Japan and Germany aren't already workingon driverless cars. But with most newtechnologies, engineers want to make sure that they are safe enoughbefore large production. The California law will allow them to travel on the state ,s roadways if there is an experienced driver sitting in the driving seat to take over if needed.“Today, we,re looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow,s reality,” Gov. Brown said during a news conference at Google,s headquarters. “This driverless car is another step forward in this long march of California and leading not just the country, but the whole world.”The state often uses stricter laws to control greenhouse gases and global warming, which was strongly against by most car-makers in other states, saying it would be impractical for each state to make its own fuel standards. However, the U.S. EPA(环境保护署)sided with California . At last all sides reached an agreement, but the push from California undoubtedly influenced the EPA,s sharply higher fuel standards, which require car-makers to achieve an average of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.When it comes to driverless cars, California is actually the third state to authorize(批准)them, behind Nevada and Florida. But by far it is the most influential. "It,s meaningful because California is a big state , a first mover and really a big player,” Ryan Calo, a law professor at the University of Washington who studies autonomous transport law, told the New York Times. 42. The sentence “California, of course , has led the way towards cleaner transport.” is the topic sentence of .A. Paragraph 2B. Paragraph 3C. Paragraph 4D. Paragraph 5 43.From the whole passage, what are the advantages of driverless cars in California?A.They are green and safeB. They are fast and bigC. They are green and bigD. They are fast and safe44.The last paragraph is written mainly to.A.introduce a new law signed by CaliforniaB.California is a big state and really a big playerC.California is the third state to authorize the lawD.show the influence of California,s law on driverless cars45.According to the passage, we can learn.A.engineers in other countries aren,t working on driverless carsB.California and the EPA reached an agreement on fuel standardsC.the developing of driverless cars in California will lead the worldD.California is the first state that allows driverless cars to travel on roads四、词汇运用(共10小题;每小题1分,计10分)(每空一词)46.The more ▲you work , the fewer mistakes you will make.

Coming from Danish culture, but popularized by the British in 2016, hygge is muchmore than just a word, it,s becoming a feeling around the world.The hygge refers to the sense of happiness you get when your family is gathered together at new year orChristmas. It is all about the pleasant feelings of home: the smell of your mother's cooking, yourpartner,s arm around your shoulder and so on.Hygge is an antidote(良药)to stress. You know when you,ve got it, a gentle warmth starts spreading through your body. Another important part of hygge is that it has nothing to do with modern technology.It,s a period time to relax your tired mind and eyes. So, put down that smartphone and turn off thecomputer.You should also know that hygge is not about healthy eating or more exercise. In fact, it,s just theopposite. You,re supposed to be lost in what you like: enjoy sweet snacks and calorie-laden cakes freely.Let yourself be carried on a wave of nostalgia(怀旧)back to your birthplace, and remember the childhood songs of your distant youth with a smile. If it helps, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and sleepwith one of your favorite books (not a pill or e-reader).If Denmark seems too far, then think of old Beijing with its hutong and courtyard houses. Pictureyourself sit around a traditional stove with your loved ones, eating dumplings and chatting about the olddays. Let yourself drift back in time to a period where everything is relaxing, and there is no need toreply to any e-mails or text messages. They did not exist(存在)back then.六、缺词填空(共10空;每空l分,计10分)(每空一词)Sam and Tom were identical(同样的)twins. They were so identical that even their mother found it d 66 to tell one from the other. But except for their looks, everything else about them was different.Tom had no friends, w 67 Sam was a great friendship maker. Sam loved sweets, but Tom loved spicy food and h 68 sweets. Sam was generous and selfless, Tom was greedy and selfish!As Sam and Tom grew up, their father wanted to s 69 his fortune equally. However, Tom did not agree, and he argued that whoever proved to be smarter and stronger would have to get a b 70 share of the wealth.Sam agreed. Their father decided to organize a competition b 71 the two. He asked the two sons to walk as long as they could, and return home before sunset.The following day, Sam and Tom set out to walk. It was a rather sunny day. Sam walked slowly and steadily, while Tom ran q 72 as he aimed at winning the race and gained a greater portion of his father,s wealth.Sam knew that it would be ideal to walk as far as possible till noon, and start for home at noon, as it would take the same amount of time to walk back home. K 73 this, Sam decided to turn back for home at noon so as to reach home on time.However, Tom, with his greed to earn more w 74 , didn,t try to return home even aftermid-noon. He walked twice as long as Sam, and thought he would still be able to return home before sunset. U 75 , he lost the race at last only because of his greed.七、书面表达(计30分)A.句子翻译(共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)76.我发现与同学相处是很容易的。

Last year, he taught his students about the world's rainforests. They learned that rainforests are important because the plants and animals of the rainforest give us food, wood, and medicine. Destruction of the world's rainforests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rainforests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project! Myers' students bought three acres of rainforest in Central America. They paid $ 25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rainforests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rainforest.So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rainforest. The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us," one of the students said. "It was a great learning experience for all of us," said Myers.Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica's active volcano Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids. 31、What did Myers and his students do at the beginning of the trip? A .They went into the rainforest. B .They bought acres ofrainforest.C.They took a boat ride down a river. D.They visited Costa Rica's active volcano.32、The word "Destruc tion" in Paragraph 2 probably means ―the process of being_____.‖A.destroyed B.developed C.described D.discovered33、When the monkeys saw Myers and his students, they_________ .A.felt excited B.felt angryC.jumped off the trees D.left the rainforest34、The passage mainly shows that Myers and his students _________ .A.did something to protect rainforestsB.wanted to buy the rainforest in Costa RicaC.were interested in the culture of Costa RicaD.went to the rainforest for various fun activitiesTo get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount. That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal .After tracking more than 20, 000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the UK from about 1993 to 2008, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than who didn't."We're known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this benefit before," said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council. "The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and social class they came from. "Study participants(参与者) scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes. But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years."We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, " said Dr TimArmstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization. "The 14 years is an试卷第6页,共12页average across the population of what's theoretically(埋论上地) possible. ""Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn't good for them," Susan Jebb said. "We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change. "35、We can infer from the passage that _____________ .

It's my birthday today!" However,the old man in front of her didn't show he was(20)by my talkative child.He(21)with a smile,"Well,little lady! And how old are you today?" After a few minutes' chat,Norah offered to take a photo with the old man called Mr.Dan,his expression changed from surprised to delighted.We exchanged our phone numbers.There was magic happening in the store that day,and we could (22)feel it.During our first visit in Mr.Dan's home,We walked with him to his front door.He pulled out a knife and(23)the only blooming red rose.He spent ten minutes cutting every thorn(刺)(24)the stem(茎)before handing it to his new friend.Norah keeps that rose,now(25)as a bone,under her pillow for a long time.Norah asks about Mr.Dan every day.She worries about him.She wonders if he's (26),or cold.She wants him to be OK.She wants him to feel loved.Mr.Dan thinks about Norah too.After (27)recent visit,he said that he had (28)had a whole night's sleep since his wife died."Norah has healed me since meeting her." he said.That left me(29)and my eyes wet with tears.Somehow,their hearts and souls seem to recognize each other from long ago.Sometimes talking to strangers can(30)beautiful new beginnings.16.A.broken B.beautiful C.boring D.busy17.A.what B.that C.if D.when 18.A.hello B.no C.yes D.thanks 19.A.excitedly B.sadly C.luckily D.carefully 20.A.treated B.trained C.trapped D.troubled 21.A.realized B.replied C.repeated D.recorded 22.A.neither B.both C.all D.none 23.A.let B.get C.put D.cut 24.A.off B.down C.into D.away 25.A.wet B.white C.dry D.red 26.A.relaxed B.excited C.lonely D.silly 27.A.the other B.another C.other D.others 28.A.never B.always C.often D.usually 29.A.useless B.meaningless C.careless D.speechless 30.A.belong to B.lead to C.thanks to D.speak to三、阅读理解(共4小题;每小题6分,计30分)31.(6分):31.What difficulty did Sara Crewe face in her life ?A.The American Civil WarB.The loss of her parentsC.Adventures in Never﹣Never LandD.Her strong character32.We can learn from the passage that.A.we can buy all the above books in bookstores B.two of the books are written by J.M BarrieC.all the books have children as their main charactersD.Peter Pan is ¥3cheaper online than in bookstores33.If you want to buy all the three books,you have to pay at least online.A.¥30B.¥12C.¥48D.¥4234.(8分)I arrived in Cali,the second largest city in Colombia.The sun was truly shining.Cali was great,the people were friendly and helpful.One thing I knew about Colombia before I came was the coffee.I drank it every day while dreaming about South American adventures in my cold,wet hometown of England.What I wasn't prepared for was the beauty there.Even the bus ride was a pleasure.I never thought I would say like this in South America.The landscape was so unexpected,I didn't imagine Colombia to have this much beauty.There lay fresh mountain waterfalls as well as luminous green hills at every turn,it was so amazing!Bogota was my next stop.In the beginning,I thought it was a boring city with nothing different from any other.Then I opened my eyes and my heart.It attracted me.The smiles from the locals were infectious(有感染力的),love poured from their hearts.For me,Bogota and the Colombian people changed my view on everything.I took a walk alone one night to pick up some goods.It was dark,and I was in a strange neighborhood.Yet all I could think about was how safe I felt,I almost felt like I was in my local town.People smiled and carried on with their own business.I walked more slowly and stayed for longer,that moment,I knew I had to change foreigners' opinion on Colombia.Thinking about the last month in Colombia,I couldn't believe how much I had fallen in love with it.I've done seven countries in seven months and over twenty﹣five in my lifetime,and Colombia is right up there at number one!

read stories of Sherlock Holmes﹣﹣﹣a famous detective?Here is one of his cases.Stapleton,Charles' younger brother,found that he would inherit (继承)the Baskerville lands if Charles and his nephew(侄子)﹣﹣﹣Henry both died.Charles who had a weak heart believed super natural stories.After knowing this,Stapleton had the idea of buying a huge hound,and of using the phosphorus(磷)to make it shine like the hound in one story.Then Stapleton asked his friend Laura to write a letter to bring Charles to the moor gate on that sad night.The hound,which was shining with phosphorus,chased Charles down the Yew Alley.Charles' fear was so great that his weak heart stopped,and he died but the animal did not touch the dead body.There was no sign of murder.It was difficult for Holmes to fine the murderer.Two weeks later,Stapleton learned that Henry had reached England.He took his wife and the hound with him.He wore a false beard and followed Henry in London.He wanted to use the same way to murder Henry there.He needed something to give the hound Henry's smell,so he paid a woman at Henry's hotel to steal one of his shoes.The first one was a new one,which was no use for the hound,so it was put back.And then another older shoe was stolen.Before he was ready to murder Henry,he wasn't sure if his wife would keep his secret,so he did not tell her the truth.He locked her up in their hotel.She knew that he must have some evil plans.She sent Henry a letter which was made of words cut from a newspaper.After receiving the letter,Henry realized he was in great danger and it must have something to do with his uncle Charles' death.So he asked Holmes for help.…38.What does the underlined word " hound" in Paragraph 3mean?A.魔兽B.猎犬C.匕首D.猎枪39.Paragraph 4is mainly about.A.how Stapleton

smellB.it belonged to Henry's wifeC.the hound saw nothing about HenryD.the hound didn't like the smell41.What may happen if Stapleton's wife didn't send the letter to Henry?A.It may be easy for Henry to find that he was in danger.B.It may be easy for Stapleton's wife to know the truth.C.Henry may be murdered easily with no sign like Charles.D.Henry may get to know the truth much more easily.42.(8分)California Gov.Jerry Brown on Tuesday signed a law for driverless cars to travel on public roadways,showing once again that Left Coast has a way of making car﹣makers develop faster.It is not that smart minds in Japan and Germany aren't already working on driverless cars.But with most new technologies,engineers want to make sure that they are safe enough before large production.The California law will allow them to travel on the state's roadways if there is an experienced driver sitting in the driving seat to take over if needed."Today,we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality," Gov.Brown said during a news conference at Google's headquarters."This driverless car is another step forward in this long march of California and leading not just the country,but the whole world."The state often uses stricter laws to control greenhouse gases and global warming,which was strongly against by most car﹣makers in other states,saying it would be impractical for each state to make its own fuel standards.However,the U.S.EPA (环境保护署)sided with California.At last all sides reached an agreement,but the push from California undoubtedly influenced the EPA's sharply higher fuel standards,which require car﹣makers to achieve an average of 54.5miles per gallon by 2025.When it comes to driverless cars,California is actually the third state to authorize (批准)them,behind Nevada and Florida.But by far it is the most influential."It's meaningful because California is a big state ,a first mover and really a big player," Ryan Calo,a law professor at the University of Washington who studies autonomous transport law,told the New York Times.42.The sentence"California,of course ,has led the way towards cleaner transport."is the topic sentence of.A.Paragraph 2B.Paragraph 3C.Paragraph 4D.Paragraph 543.From the whole passage,what are the advantages of driverless cars in California?A.They are green and safeB.They are fast and bigC.They are green and bigD.They are fast and safe44.The last paragraph is written mainly to.A.introduce a new law signed by CaliforniaB.California is a big state and really a big playerC.California is the third state to authorize the lawD.show the influence of California's law on driverless cars45.According to the passage,we can learn.A.engineers in other countries aren't working on driverless carsB.California and the EPA reached an agreement on fuel standardsC.the developing of driverless cars in California will lead the world D.California is the first state that allows driverless cars to

from home,feeling a bit blue or searching for some comfort,the Danes have a solution.It's called "hygge".Coming from Danish culture,but popularized by the British in 2016,hygge is much more than just a word,it's becoming a feeling around the world.The hygge refers to the sense of happiness you get when your family is gathered together at new year or Christmas.It is all about the pleasant feelings of home:the smell of your mother's cooking,your partner's arm around your shoulder and so on.Hygge is an antidote(良药)to stress.You know when you've got it,a gentle warmth starts spreading through your body.Another important part of hygge is that it has nothing to do with modern technology.It's a period time to relax your tired mind and eyes.So,put down that smartphone and turn off the computer.You should also know that hygge is not about healthy eating or more exercise.In fact,it's just the opposite.You're supposed to be lost in what you like:enjoy sweet snacks and calorie﹣laden cakes freely.Let yourself be carried on a wave of nostalgia(怀旧)back to your birthplace,and remember the childhood songs of your distant youth with a smile.If it helps,wrap yourself in a warm blanket and sleep with one of your favorite books (not a pill or e﹣reader).If Denmark seems too far,then think of old Beijing with its hutong and courtyard houses.Picture yourself sit around a traditional stove with your loved ones,eating dumplings and chatting about the old days.Let yourself drift back in time to a period where everything is relaxing,and there is no need to reply to any e﹣mails or text messages.They did not exist(存在)back then.Now you've really understood hygge without even having to set foot in Copenhagen.六、缺词填空(共10空;每空l分,计10分)(每空一词)66.(10分)Sam and Tom were identical(同样的)twins.They were so identical that even their mother found it (66)d to tell one from the other.But except for their looks,everything else about them was different.Tom had no friends,(67)w Sam was a great friendship maker.Sam loved sweets,but Tom loved spicy food and (68)h sweets.Sam was generousand selfless,Tom was greedy and selfish!As Sam and Tom grew up,their father wanted to (69)s his fortune equally.However,Tom did not agree,and he argued that whoever proved to be smarter and stronger would have to get a (70)b share of the wealth.Sam agreed.Their father decided to organize a competition(71)b the two.He asked the two sons to walk as long as they could,and return home before sunset.The following day,Sam and Tom set out to walk.It was a rather sunny day.Sam walked slowly and steadily,while Tom ran(72)q as he aimed at winning the race and gained a greater portion of his father's wealth.Sam knew that it would be ideal to walk as far as possible till noon,and start for home

The plan was announced Thursdayafter high-level meetings in Beijing. China, which has the largest population,made the one-child policy in 1980. The government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children for so many years. For example, some couples in the countryside could have two children.News Two: 05 October, 2015The first of the 2015 Nobel Prizes has been announced. Sweden’s Nobel Prizecommittee says the Nobel Prize for medicine will go to scientists from Ireland,Japan and China. William Campbell from Ireland and Satoshi Omura fromJapan share the prize for their discovery of the medicine avermectin(阿维菌素). The Nobel committee praised their work on what it calls a “novel therapy.” The treatment fights disease caused by parasites(寄生虫). The prize for medicine is also going to Chinese researcher Tu Youyou. She discovered artemisinin. Artemisinin is a drug (药物) that has greatly made the number of people who die from malaria(疟疾) smaller.News Three: 09 December, 2015Oil prices have fallen to their lowest levels since 2009. Brent crude oil, one of several kinds of oil on the world market, dropped below $40 a barrel(桶)on Tuesday. However, the main group of oil producing countries has been unable to reduce the oil production.31. How long did China’s one-child policy last?A. 38 years.B. 36 years.C. 25 years.D. 65 years.32. Who got the Nobel Prize for medicine?A. Tu Youyou from China.B. William Campbell from Ireland.C. William Campbell from Ireland and Satoshi Omura from Japan.D. William Campbell from Ireland, Satoshi Omura from Japan and Tu Youyou from China.33. What can we know from News Three?A. There is only one kind oil on the world market.B. Main oil producing countries will produce less oil.C. Oil prices on Tuesday are the lowest in history.D. Main oil producing countries will still produce as much oil as before.34. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. The oil prices are the lowest in 2009.B. The artemisinin has saved lots of lives.C. There are the most people in China in the world.D. Only a small number of Chinese couples can have two children in China in the past few years. (B)If you’ve been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals(网友), you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online— many of them are talking at the same time.It’s fast: trying talking to six people once. It’s convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, se x and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time t o get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation is going too.35. When people are online, they talk by ______.A. using body languageB. drawing some strange picturesC. making phone callsD. making use of a special short form of English36. The sentence “There’s neither time nor space for explanations” means that ______.A. people should use words properlyB. people should know what time it is when they are talkingC. people online have to express themselves in a simple wayD. people should communicate in a funny way37. If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.A. the people on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fineB. you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New YorkC. you are talking to 17 girls who are from New YorkD. the people you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl38. Which of the following is a way to save online time?A. People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.B. Many people draw pictures.C. People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.D. People never use the “shift” key.(C)Around 200 years ago, a well-known English poet called John Keats attacked science. He said thatBritish scientist Isaac Newton had unweaved(拆解) the rainbow. Newton explained how light forms a rainbow. For Keats, this explanation meant rainbows could no longer be beautiful. This is just one example of many. We often hear people talk of problems with science, or say that it is boring. Some people, like Keats, also say that science takes away the beauty of the world. But is this fair? First of all, science helps us get things done. We need to study science to produce certain kinds of people. After all, where would we be without engineers and doctors? When you are studying science in school, remember that one day you might be using that knowledge to build a bridge, or save a life. Next time you use your phone to send a message, remember that this is possible thanks to science. When Keats criticized(批判) Newton, the very paper he wrote on was created through science.Beyond helping society and getting things done, science also makes us think in a certain way. It asks us to believe things only through evidence. It teaches us never to trust our assumptions(假设). It teaches us that sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction.When you study science, remember what it means. Science has changed the world, and it can change you too. Humans once looked up at rainbows, and said that they were beautiful. Science explained them, and they were no longer recondite to us.But discovery never stops. Through science, we can find new rainbows: mysteries that lie beyond the stars themselves.39. Why did John Keats criticize Newton around 200 years ago?A. Beca use he was angry that Newton didn’t like rainbows.B. Because he didn’t believe what Newton said about rainbows.C. Because he thought Newton’s explanation took away the beauty of rainbow.D.

Success. More than four hours but I’ve finally reached mybelly button,” said Weibo user GayleRabbit.Another user Lucy said, “Why does my belly button suddenly look and feel completely new?”, While the trend was popular with many female users on Weibo, a photo uploaded by a male blogger caught people’s eyes. “Is this pos e really that difficult? I don't think so,” said Weibo user Sough Sa. His photo showing he was trying to touch his belly button drew 2,634 likes and was shared more than 8,452 times.“I always support failures. Now I don't feel so bad about not being able to touch my belly button.” said another user Jacket. “Do we need to have flexible(柔韧的) arms or a skinny waist to achieve it?” asked Weibo user Chantilly623.But some experts argued that China’s new belly button trend was actually distoring(歪曲) society's standards of beauty.“These poses and pictures can be fun but sometimes they als o become an expression of competitiveness,” said Jolene Tan, Programmes and Communications Senior Manager at Aware, a non-governmental organization in Singapore championing women's rights.However, experienced body trainers say the new trend is about flexibility of the arm and the size of the waist, rather than a good figure. A skinny person with fewer muscles(肌肉) has a better chance of achieving the pose.43.Between which two paragraphs can the following sentence be put in ?------“A new social trend(趋势) has started in China, with thousands of netizens facing the challenge and uploading photographs of themselves to show off their bodies”A.

Whenever I speak to Chinese students they always say, “My spoken English’s poor”. However, their spoken English doesn’t have to remain“poor”. I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking, because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency (流利性)not accuracy(准确性). Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using tenses to get your message across. But to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word of tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you. The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. you have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking. Fourth, most Chinese students are inactive rather than pro-active language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this pro-active outlook(前景), then, you will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you don’t use your English beyond the classroom you will forget that English you know.六、缺词填空(共10空;每空l分,计l0分)These days we live a fast life. You’ve heard it before that everything has to be fast. Fast food, fast Internet, f ▲66 roads, fast money, fast, fast, fast.

But have you ever wondered why those things make you unfortable?It's all about personal space, which means not only the imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯)when they meet with an unwele sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume(香水)makes you feel angry.Whether people have had a stronger desire(渴望)to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire to have space to themselves. In a survey by Trip Advisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first .because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to your Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.Preference(偏好)for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin(拉丁人的)cultures, however, people are more fortable standing close to each other.( )29. The writer mainly in this article.A. tells us how to achieve personal spaceB. explains why people need personal spaceC. introduces some knowledge about personal spaceD. argues(争论)for the importance of keeping personal space( )30. Who might feel his personal space is safe according to the passage?A. A person who has to sit next to a lady putting on strong perfume.B. A person who has been watched by a stranger for a long time.C. A person who hears strange noises when reading at home.D. A Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting close to him.( )31. What can we know from the survey by Trip Advisor?A. People need smaller personal .pace in recent times than before.B. People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times.C. There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people's needs.D. Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.( )32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses.B. If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space won't be violated.C. People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.D. Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space.CA new study warns that about 30% of the world people may not have enough water by the year 2025.A private American organization called Population Action International (PAI) did the new study. It says more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack enough water now. These people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.PAI researchers Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three thousand million people may face water problems. At least 18 more countries are expected to lack enough water. The need for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount(数量) of water on the earth stays the same.The report says lack of water in the future may cause several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. Lack of water may also lead to more international conflict(冲突). Countries may have to fight for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would influence the ability to improve theireconomies(经济). This is because new industries often need a great amount of water when they are beginning.The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. Oneway, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water for agriculture.The report also says a long-term solution to the water problem is to control population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.( )33.

What is the way to solve the water problem in the long term?A. To use water in different ways.B. To realize the water problem.C. To reduce water for farming.D. To limit the rising birth rate.( )36. Which of the following shows the structure(结构) of the passage?A.①②→③④→⑤⑥B.①②③→④→⑤⑥C.①②③④→⑤→⑥D.①②③→④→⑤→⑥( )37.

With great interest, he read everything he could, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his hometown. “There ' s so much to learn, ” he ' d say.“Though we' re born stupid, only the stupid remainthat way. ” He decided that none of his children would be refused an education.Therefore, Stanley in sisted that we should lear n at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, we' d still do that . And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we learned. We would talk about the news of the day. Sometimes the news was unimportant, but it was always take n seriously. Stanley would liste n carefully and discuss it with us. Then came the moment— the time to share the day ' s new learning."Felice, ” he ' d say, “tell me what you learned today. ”“ I lear ned that the populati on of Denmark is .... ”Sile nee.Stanley was thinking about what was said.“The population of Denmark. Hmm. Well …” he ' dsay. r “Get the map let ' s see where Denmark is. ” And the whole family went on a search for Denmark.This same experienee was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear un dersta nding of at least half a doze n such facts.As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharingexperiences and joining in one another' s education. And by lookingat us, liste ning to us, respect ing what we lear ned, confirming our value, Stanley was surely our most in flue ntial teacher.Later during mytraining as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting( 传授)what Stanley knew all along — the value of continual learning. His skills have served me well all my life. Not a sin gle day has bee n wasted, though I can n ever tell whe n knowing the populatio n of Denmark might prove useful.34.
