ALast week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boy- friends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked around that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressio ns. Gone was my father’s critical air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him than at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing,I’m delighted with my new frie nd. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.21. Why did the author feel bitter about her father when she was a young adult?A. He was silent most of the time.B. He was too proud of himself.C. He did not love his children.D. He expected too much of her.22. When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel _____.A. nervousB. sorryC. tiredD. safe23. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?A. More critical.B. More talkativeC. Gentle and friendly.D. Strict and hard-working.24. When the author says“I’m delighted with my new friend”in the last paragraph ，he refers to ________as his new friend.A. the author’s sonB. the author’s fatherC. the friend of the author’s fatherD. the café ownerBEaster Island’s large and mysterious stone statues（雕像） have made it world famous. These statues, whose likenesses look like humans with huge stone cylinders(柱状物) balancing on their heads like hats, have tourists coming from all over the world. The tourists come to see these works of ancient art carved by the early inhabitants of the island. They come to see the mystery that has puzzled historians for decades.Easter Island is located in a remote part of the South Pacific Ocean about 2,300 miles west of Chile. Easter Island covers just 45 square miles and its Polynesian name is Rapa Nui.On Easter Sunday 1722, a Dutch explorer named Jacob Roggeveen was the first European to see Easter Island. The early Polynesians carved the statues within the holes of the volcano using only stone tools. Then they moved these huge statues to various destinations throughout the island. These 600 statues range in height from 10 to 40 feet. Some of them weigh as much as 50 tons. How could the early Polynesians lift hundreds of heavy statues out of the volcano? How did they move them across the island to their various locations? All of these questions, as well as many others, remain unanswered.The early islanders probably worshiped(崇拜) these eyeless giants until sometime around 1670. In 1680, a war broke out between two groups of islanders. The victors of the war and ancestors of the present inhabitants, broke down many of the statues. In most cases, they broke the necks of the statues.Now 15 of the statues on Easter Island have been repaired to their original positions on their stone platforms. Even today, using modern tools and machinery, putting up such large statues and balancing cylinders on top of their heads presentsa challenging task.25.What do we know about Easter Island?A. It is a big island of Chile.B. It is located in North Pacific OceanC. It was named after a Dutch explorerD. Its early inhabitants were Polynesians26. Scientists are still uncertain about ______A. why people built the statuesB. where people made the statuesC. how people transported the statuesD. how many statues there are on the island27.What happened in 1680?A. Many statues were damagedB. Another 15 statues were put upC. People began to worship the statuesD. The islanders started a war against outsiders28. The purpose of the text is to ______A. entertainB. advertiseC. informD. persuadeCGAOMI, Shandong, Oct. 11(Xinhua)---China writer Mo Yan said last Thursday that he was “very surprised” at winning the Nobel Literature Prize.“I am very happy,” he said. “I was having dinner when I received the news. I was surprised.”“Thank you for coming all the way to Gaomi. This should be a season of red sorghum, but no such crop is planted any more. I believe none of you have seen the crop.”he said.“The Nobel Literature Prize is a very important literature prize, but not the topaward. It represents the opinions of the jury(评审团). I am satisfied with my major works and I still keep writing by hand. My works are Chinese literature, which is part of world literature. They show the life of Chinese people as well as the country’s unique culture and folk customs. Meanwhile, my novels described human beings in the broad sense. I wrote in the perspective（角度） of a human being. These works stand beyond regions and ethnic(民族的)groups,” he said.Mo’s win brought joy to other writers and readers throughout the country as he is the first Chinese native to win the Nobel Literature Prize in its century-long history.29. According to Mo Yan, _____A. red sorghum should be planted in his hometown.B. the Nobel Prize represents the opinion of the publicC. he still keeps the habit of writing by handD. his novels described human being of all regions30. Which of the following words can best describe Mo Yan?A. RomanticB. Self-confidentC. ProudD. Modest31. Where might you find the article?A. In a novelB. In a travel bookC. In a newspaperD. In a student bookDHoliday makers wanting to get away from the pressure of modern life might consider staying at a wooden hut in Sweden.The Kolarbyn Eco-Lodge Hotel is not for everyone. If you can’t even understand the idea of living without electricity, running water, or a modern toilet, then the charm of this place will probably not appeal to you. But for anyone trying to escape the pressure and busy life of the big city or take a break from the Internet and other modern devices, this place is a paradise(乐园). Located 1 km south of Skarsjon Beach, in the middle of a pristine Swedish forest, Kolarbyn Eco-Lodge consists of 12 wooden huts with nothing but two sheepskin-covered wooden beds, and a wood stove that uses wood cut by the guests themselves.Self-catering breakfast, lunch and dinner consist of items like spaghetti（通心粉）, tomato sauce, bread, fruit and eggs that tourists have to cook themselves overan outside fire; there is no shower, only a nearby spring and as for toilet, visitorsare encouraged to go behind a tree, or visit one of the two sheds（棚子）.Adding to the charm of this place is the long coal-making tradition of Kolarbyn. Locals have been building these huts from wood and mud for over 400 years, and a fewof them came up with the idea of recreating a few of them in the woods as an eco-lodgeto keep tradition alive in the area.“People visit Kolarbyn lodges because they want to experience the nature and totest sleeping in the historical huts. They want to get away from the normal life,”the owner Andreas Ahlsen said. “The huts themselves are relatively small, as if theyare too big , it will destroy the nature experience.”32. Which of the following can best describe the Kolarbyn Eco-Lodge Hotel?A. Modern and luxuriousB. Perfect and uniqueC. Cheap and appealingD. Simple and environmental-friendly33. What can we infer about the life in the hotel?A. Living there is a hard experience for everyoneB. The visit to the hotel means a challenge to many peopleC. It’s convenient though there is no modern equipmentD. It’s kind of like living in paradise for the aged34. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 4?A. Old traditionsB. Local peopleC. Wooden hutsD. Creative ideas35. Why do people want to visit the Kolarbyn Eco-Lodge Hotel?A. To escape modern lifeB. To have a good sleepC. To compare rural and city lifeD. To experience poverty of locals 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。

Who will save the world?This imaginative tale is at the heart of the latest Chinese sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth. Unlike many American space-themed films where the solution to a disaster Earth faces is always fleeing（逃离）the planet in spaceships, this time we're taking the Earth with us. The film, which has made it the country's most successful film of all time, has offered a different and more ambitious idea.The "ambition" didn't come from nowhere. For thousands of years, "homeland" has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom that shows a strong feeling that Chinese people have had for their homeland is "luoyeguigen", which means returning to one's homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree."What is Chinese sci-fi?" Guo Fan, the film's director, said in an interview. "A vehicle that really expresses our cultural and spiritual core（核心）can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we're just following others and telling the same Hollywood stories."And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it's our home.（1）The main purpose of the opening paragraph is to ______.A.give a brief account of the filmB.warn people of the coming threatC.explore ways to avoid the disasterD.introduce the topic of the passage（2）The underlined phrase "a different and more ambitious idea" refers to ______.A.fleeing the Earth in spaceshipsB.bringing in huge successC.filling the gap in Chinese sci-fi moviesD.helping Earth make its escape（3）What is likely to be title for the passage?A.Chinese Sci-fi Catches UpB.The Most Successful Chinese Sci-fiC.Chinese Sci-fi Sets a New PathD.Chinese Sci-fi Challenges Hollywood3.The Secret to HappinessA new report makes it clear that when it comes to the life satisfaction of UK citizens, the ball is in the government's court. For some time, sensible people have been arguing that governments need to focus less on economic growth and more on the wellbeing（幸福）of citizens. Be careful what you wish for.In response to this demand, from 2011 David Cameron instructed the Office for National Statistics to gather data on people's self-reported happiness and life satisfaction. Little practical good has come from this so far, but a new report by George Bangham for the Resolution Foundation is one of the best attempts to make useful sense of the data. He concludes: "The best prospects for policymakers targeting future increases in national wellbeing lie in raising job quality, raising incomes, particularly at the lower end, and policies to improve security in the housing market."The age correlation（相关）turns out to be certainly linked to politics, despite the fact that no political party can make a difference to your date of birth. The happiness of pensioners is not just a function of their age, but of policy. On average, 70-year-old boomers today are the most affluent retirees in history, often owning their own homes and in receipt of generous pensions（抚恤金退休金）. People of 70 are not going to be as content in 30 or 40 years' time if they are unable to retire, don't own their homes and have small incomes.However, there is one respect in which teens and recent retirees are remarkably similar. Compared to other age groups, they tend to inhabit a sweet spot of having high degrees of freedom. The typical 16-year-old has new freedoms without ever having had any serious responsibilities. The typical 70-year-old, having experienced a lifetime of work and family duties, has a very different kind of freedom, one born from relief.Besides，it should not surprise us to find that people tend to be happier when they have fewer worries. But this, too, has important political implications. If the government is really interested in raising overall national happiness, it has to make sure as many citizens as possible feel secure in their health, their housing and their incomes. Different states' records in achieving this is one important reason why Nordic countries repeatedly score highly in international life satisfaction surveys and North America underperforms relative to its GDP.Whichever way you look at it, there is no escaping the conclusion that increasing wellbeing across society requires joined-up, long-term policy efforts. This is exactly what the Resolution Foundation recommends.（1）What can be conveyed from the sentence "the ball is in the government's court" in Paragraph 1?A.The government officials are fond of playing ball games.B.The government determines national happiness.C.The government makes citizens feel happy.D.The government is in a ball game.（2）What does the underlined word "affluent" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Responsible.B.Careful.C.Honest.D.Rich.（3）According to the author, the secret to happiness is freedom and ______.A.incomeB.healthC.securityD.destiny（4）What is the author's attitude to the function of government on national happiness?A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Doubtful.D.Unsatisfactory.二、七选五阅读4.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。

（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读理解Books to Read in Your 20sThe Kite Runner By Khaled HosseiniAs a Middle Eastern and North African Studies student, I have a great interest in books about what takes place in this area. I first read this book in high school and really enjoyed it because of its accurate language. If any of you is interested in reading this book and hasn't yet, I highly recommend it.Fire fly Lane By Kristin HannahThis is my favorite book. It is a story about friendship, love and life lessons. The story covers the lives of two best friends, Tully and Kate, from childhood to adulthood. I learned so much about friendship and life. So, read Firefly Lane! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and then you'll share this book to your best friend.Half the Sky By Nicholas KristofFor any person of any age, Half the Sky is a must-read. It describes the struggle of women and the most pressing human rights problems of our time: the common oppression of women and girls.The Little Prince By Antoine de SaintThis children's book is simple. It might seem like a wrong book to recommend to someone in their twenties, but perhaps that's what makes it a good choice. It sings praises to exploration and shows the importance of making friends. 1．Who is the writer of the book The Kite Runner?A．Khaled Hosseini.B．Kristin Hannah.C．Nicholas Kristof.D．Antoine de Saint.2．What can we learn about the book Firefly Lane?A．It's written by Tully and Kate.B．It talks about friendship and life.C．It's a simple book for children.D．It's a comic book with humorous writing.3．Which book will you read if you want to know about human rights problems?A．The Kite Runner.B．Firefly Lane.C．Half the Sky.D．The Little Prince.阅读理解There is an English saying that "Laughter(笑) is the best medicine." Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people's health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated（忍耐）the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter. 4．According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?A．Laughter is good for healthB．Laughter can make you become old quicklyC．Laughter helps to reduce pain.D．Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.5．The underlined word "diminishes" in the third paragraph means "____".A．delays B．prevents C．increases D．reduces6．Why do some doctors hold laughter clinics?A．Because they want to earn more money.B．Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.C．Because they want to improve their patients' condition.D．Because they want their patients to practice how to laugh7．What would be the best title for this passage?A．Both laughter and physical exercise are good for healthB．Laughter clinics help patients improve their conditionC．Laughter can reduce the effects of painD．Laughter is the best medicine.阅读理解Popcorn Park Zoo is not like most zoos. It is a very special place.This unusual place was not originally a zoo. At first it was called the Forked River Animal Care Center. The workers there looked after lost or unwanted cats and dogs. Today the center is part of the zoo, but now many other kinds of animals are helped there, too.The changes to the center began in 1977 when a raccoon(浣熊) needed help. One of its front paws(爪子) had been badly hurt. The workers cared for the animal. Finally it was better, but it could not care for itself. The raccoon was allowed to live there. Then a hurt deer was brought there for help. It, too, stayed there after it got well.Once people heard about the wonderful work being done at the center, they began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there. Soon it was no longer just a home for cats and dogs. So many animals were living there that it became more like a zoo.Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn made without oil or salt. The popcorn is sold there to help make money to care for the animals. People buy the popcorn to feed the animals as a treat.Popcorn Park Zoo now looks after more than 200 kinds of animals. Many of them live freely there. Some of the gentler ones, such as goats, sheep, geese, and deer, walk among the visitors who come to see them. Others are kept in large closed areas almost like their natural homes. All the animals there get care and love.8．Before 1977, the center was a home for ____.A．lost or unwanted cats and dogsB．hurt or homeless raccoons and goatsC．lost or unwanted deer and sheepD．hurt or homeless raccoons and geese9．How did the workers in the center help the raccoon?A．They changed its front paws.B．They cured it and let it live there.C．They sent it back to its home.D．They built another home just for it.10．The popcorn is sold in Popcorn Park Zoo to ____.A．treat the visitors B．reward the workersC．trick the animals D．raise money11．What can we learn about animals in the zoo from the last paragraph?A．They all live in closed areas.B．Some of them can walk out of the zoo freely.C．All of them are taken good care of.D．Some of them have already returned to nature.阅读理解Fu Yuanhui is China's newest sweetheart. The 20-year-old swimmer from Hangzhou won a bronze medal at the recent Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But it wasn't the medal that charmed people's hearts, it was Fu's honest remarks and bubbly personality.Climbing out of the pool after a semi-final heat, Fu looked tired and out of breath, and not very happy. She thought her time may not have been good enough to make the final. But the reporter told her otherwise. Fu had just swum a personal best! And it was Fu's reaction (反应) to this news that made everyone fall in love with her.Her eyes got big and smiled. "Wow, I'm so fast!" she said. And she joked with the girl reporter that she must have been helped by her "mystical powers." Later, after the final race, it was the same reporter who again surprised Fu by telling her she'd won a bronze medal. "What? Really?" she said, "That's not so bad, then."Fu worked hard to get to the Olympics and her training, she said, "Even though I did not win a gold medal, I surpassed (超过) myself and I am happy with that."12．What kind of medal did Fu Yuanhui win in the Olympic Games in Brazil?A．The gold medal.B．The silver medal.C．The bronze medal.D．None.13．Why didn't Fu Yuanhui feel happy after the semi-final heat at first?A．Because she didn't feel well.B．Because she thought she didn't do well.C．Because she wasn't satisfied with her reaction.D．Because the reporter asked her an unhappy question.14．The third paragraph tells us Fu Yuanhui ____.A．had an expressive faceB．was satisfied with herselfC．thought the game is unfair for herD．was sorry to get the bronze medal15．We can learn from the underlined words that Fu Y uanhui ____.A．thought she had tried her bestB．thought she was lucky enoughC．wanted to thank the reporterD．planned to win the gold medal二、第二部分，阅读理解，第二节(共 5 小题:每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Please help me.”A creative publicist（广告员）named Tom was walking by the blind man and stoppedto see that the man only had a few coins in his hat. He put a few of his own coins in the hat.Without asking for permission（允许）, he took the sign, turned it around and wrote a new message. Then he put the sign by the feet of the blind man and left. Later that afternoon the publicist returned to the blind man and noticed that his hat was almost full of bills（钞票)）and coins. The blind man recognized（识别）his footsteps and asked if it was he who had changed his sign. He also wanted to know what the man wrote on it.The publicist said, “I just wrote the message a little differently.” He smiled and went on his way.The new sign read, “Spring has come，but I can’t see anything.”25.
