ASelfies (自拍) have become an increasingly common way to capture memorable moments. When it comes to taking selfies , knowing the following tips can directly affect the quality of your final product.The use of light is vital to improving image quality. Lights can help avoid shadows and create soft features on your face, so turn your face toward the main light source. If you want to be creative, play with light angles by turning your body, but make sure the photo is properly exposed and your face is lit from the front or the side. Besides, avoid taking selfies against the main light source or with overhead lighting. In addition, natural light possesses a warmth that makes you look like you're glowing.（发光）When taking selfies, angles also matter a lot. Hold the camera away from your face, and try to take photos both horizontally（水平地） and vertically(垂直地). If not, your face might look bigger than usual. Ideally, the universal selfie angle is 45 degrees above your head. But you should study your face at different angles because finding your best angle requires you having seen all of them.One problem with selfies is that most have distracting backgrounds. You can always do more to show others your best side. Try to simplify the background by taking selfies outdoors or in spacious areas. Document yourself engaging in interesting activities---hiking with family members, visiting landmarks, or working out with friends. At least, you can make the photo appealing by getting rid of your outstretched arm or a background that's too busy.You can also download some photo apps that allow you to adjust the lighting and contrast. Some apps offer useful filters, which can change your skin tone and remove pimples (粉刺) on your face.1．To get an image of high quality, you need to _______.A. be under the light sourceB. be against the main lightC. face the main light sourceD. have the photo fully exposed 2．How can you find the angle that suits you most?A. Study your face at different angles.B. Hold the camera far enough from you.C. Keep the camera lower than your face.D. Place the camera 45 degrees above your head.3．Which of the following should be avoided when taking selfies?A. The use of natural light.B. A landmark as a background.C. Changes of the skin tone.D. A busy background.BThe pounding（重击声） was driving Edward crazy. A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereo （立体声音响）loud enough for the whole building to hear.On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairs and politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building. The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. The next day all was quiet, and Edward continued to be pleased with himself. The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching band was playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again.Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did with rude neighbors －—grin and bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else are you going to do?In Los Angeles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years.The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment, she could always move. When y ou’re in prison, you don’t have that option.4．The man living below where Edward lived was .A．a deaf man B．the owner of the houseC．a tenant D．an old neighbor5．What did Edward always do with rude neighbors?A．Grinning and bearing it. B．Persuading them to stop repeatedly. C．Shouting them to dead. D．Moving away from the rude neighbors. 6．The woman killed her neighbor because .A．he ignored her advice repeatedly B．she could not stand his playing the music too loudC．she could not put up with him any longer D．he played the drums too often7．The author writes the last paragraph to prove that .A．being in prison means the loss of freedom B．grinning and bearing it is thebest policyC．Edward should follow the example of the woman D．the woman was right to kill her neighborCEven the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person．Feeling down? Consider these things to remember when you’re having a bad day．No one promised life would be perfect．If you look for perfection，you’ll never be content．Don’t condition your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself．It is good to be ambitious，but you’ll never be perfect．If you expect otherwise，your life will be filled with disappointments．Success doesn’t happen overnight．Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit．Don’t kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly．It isn’t easy to be patient，but anything worth doing requires time．If you get frustrated，remind yourself why your goal is important．There is a lesson in every struggle．And once the storm is over，you won’t remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive．But one thing is certain．When you come out of the storm，you won’t be the same person who walked in．That’s what this storm’s all about．Don’t complain about how terrible your life is．If you search for the lesson in your present struggle，you’ll be able to make positive changes that would prevent similar situations in the future．Without hard times，you wouldn’t appreciate the good ones．Strength does not come from winning．Your struggles develop your strengths．When you go through hardships and decide not to give in，that is strength．It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail，but how else would you improve yourself? If you look at failure as a part of your evolutionary process，you’ll stay positive and pursue your goals for as long as it takes．8．Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A．Every person has to go through hard times.B．We can learn a lot from our struggles.C．We should accept the fact that life is not perfect.D．Things to remember when you are having a bad day.9．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Success will come quickly.

Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as “Would you really marry a woman who works?” And today it’d be “Would you marry one who doesn’t?”The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.12. The book Gone with the Wind was _________.A. first published on a newspaperB. awarded ten Academy AwardsC. written in “The Dump”D. adapted from a movie13. The underlined phrase “tower over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.A. be very pleased withB. be much taller thanC. show great respect forD. show little interest in14. We can know about Margaret Mitchell from the passage that _________.A. her height made her marriage unhappyB. her interest in writing continued as an adultC. writing stopped her working as a reporterD. her life was full of hardship and sadness15. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.B.Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.C. An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House.D. A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell.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。

AFailing in something isn’t a really nice feeling, but Scotland’ s Fettes College in Edinburgh wants to show its students that failure isn’t something to fear and is actually something to accept willingly!The boarding school held “failure week” to ce lebrate taking risks and learning from them. Whether in sports or school, children often face lots of pressure to succeed and do well, and the school was becoming concerned.“Young people fro m all walks of life live in a high-pressure environment where they are trying very hard to achieve a level of perfection,” said Sue Bruce, head of personal and social education in the school.“This week at Fettes we have been focusing on one of the most mi sunderstood parts of success: failure. While we are often scared of failure, it is important to learn that it is only through failing, often many times, that we learn how to succeed. All through the week, we have looked at the experiences of some of the most successful inventors, artists and businessmen, who failed hundreds, if not thousands of times on their journey to success,” read a letter on Fettes College’s website.To celebrate failure, students were encouraged to try something they’ve never done be fore, like playing an instrument or dancing in front of audiences. A number of students stepped up and tried things that they finally failed in, but they had fun and enjoyed the experience. “The concert was extremely enjoyable, proving that we should always try not to worry about failure and have a go!” read another note on the website. Students were also taught about famous people like J.K. Rowling and Richard Branson who failed many times before they finished what they set out to do.“If they let the fear of failure stop them from doing something, they are actually stoppingthemselves from learning, developing, and potentially succeeding,”said Bruce.21. What is the purpose of the boarding school to hold “failure week”?A. To get the students involved in social activities.B. To help the students accept and learn from failure.C. To make the students study even harder.D. To teach the students how to get relaxed.22. During the “failure week” the students could do the following things EXCEPT ___________?A. taking risksB. learning from others’ experiencesC. trying something newD. trying to entertain themselves23. What can we learn from the passage?A、Many successful people are lucky and achieve success easily.B、Because we are often scared of failure ,we never succeed.C、The fear of failure can stop the students from learning and succeeding.D、The students who failed in trying new things felt depressed.BHumans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr. Jean-LoupRault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companionsare coming: robot pets.“Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990swas really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over alovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You don’t haveto feed it, you don’t have to walk it, it won’t make a mess in your house, and you can go ona holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are alle rgic to pets,short on space, or fearful of real animals.It’s not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that wecan bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animalslife sto ries. It’s the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robotdog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect ourattitudes towards liv e animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn’t needfood, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,”he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with livingand breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are inconstant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn’t have a heartbeatmight not be a far-fetched dream.24. What does the under lined phrase “sit well with” means?A. be refused byB. be beneficial toC. make a difference toD. receive support from25. What are the advantages of robot pets?a. They are plastic and feel smooth.b. Owners needn’t worry about them when going out.c. They can help cure allergies.d. They save space and costs.A. abB. bcC. bdD.cd26. We can learn from the passage that___________.A. Sony is the first company to produce robot pets Aibo.B. People can develop strong bond with their robot pets.C. Rault thinks robot pets still have a long way to go.D. Robot toys may help people care more about living beings.27. The passage mainly tells us___________.A. the advantages of robot toysB. the popularity of robot petsC. living pets are dying out.D. robot pets are coming.CLee’s mother Sun became unexpectedly pregnant while married to a disabled ma n. Doctors told her that because of a medication she had been taking her child would not be normal. She chose to continue with the pregnancy and in 1985 in Seoul, South Korea, little Hee Ah Lee was born with only two fingers on each hand, disfigurement of her legs, and slight brain injury. The hospital told Sun that she could not care for the child at home and her relatives wanted her to place the child for adoption in a foreign country. Sun, however, thought her baby would live a successful life.When Lee was a pre-schooler, Sun wanted her daughter to take piano lessons for two reasons. One was that she felt it would help her strengthen her hands so she could hold a pencil. The other was that she felt that if she could master the piano, she could master anything. For six months piano schools turned them down and then the one teacher who did accept the task got discouraged and wanted to quit. It was a three-month contest of wills between mother and daughter that led to a conflict in which Sun actually threw her daughter on the floor in frustration. But Lee got back up on the piano bench and for the first time played a children’s song. That was the turning point and one year later Lee won the grand prize in a piano concert for Kindergartners. It was at the a ge of 7 that Lee won Korea’s 19th National Handicap Conquest Contest and was presented with her award by the President of Korea.Lee has won numerous awards, and is a widely traveled concert pianist with more than 200 appearances. Her first album titled “Hee-ah, a Pianist with Four Fingers” was released in June, 2008.Lee speaks highly of her mother for challenging her to master the piano and said that although her training was difficult, “As time went by, the piano became my source of inspiration and my best friend.”28. Which of the following can best describe Sun?A. stubborn and devotedB. impatient and strictC. enthusiastic and hardworkingD. honest and responsible29. What was probably in Lee’s mind when on the floor?A. Learning piano was too difficult for her.B. Life was unfair to her.C. She would try her best to learn piano.D. Her mother didn’t love her any more.30. When was Lee awarded by the president of Korea?A. 1985B. 1992C. 2008D. 200731. What’s the best title of the passage?A. A 4-finger pianistB. Love between mother and daughterC. Learning pianoD. An abnormal girlDEvery year, millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands. Maybe there’s spyware on the their computer, or a service they use suffered a security reach, leaving customers at the risk of exposure. Or perhaps their password is easy to guess.Don’t fear: You can easily set up proper defenses. Here’s how.● Clean Your Computer and SmartphoneBefore you put new security measures into place, make sure your devices are as spotless as possible. This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out any spy —or malware that may have already infected your system. These days, it’s also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses. iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware, but Android users should download the Lookout app to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.● Secure Your WiFiIt’s fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they’re able to share your connection —that’s why you want to be careful when using public W iFi. Even though you put security measures into place a couple of years ago, it’s a good idea to refresh your settings.● Use passwordsWhat you’ve heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numerals, letters, and cases when possible.● Check the shopping securityTake care when shopping online. Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping. If the lock icon encryption (加密) is not there, do not give out credit details. Also, check that the site is legal — never go to a site from a random email and start shopping online.Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping. This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen and your other credit card for “in real life” can still be u sed uninfluenced.Don’t store informatio n on any store’s website. It may be convenient but it’s also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked.32. This passage is mainly about ___________.A. ways of avoiding identity theftB. tips of freeing computers from virusesC. measures to ensure network securityD. steps to keep track of passwords33. To put new security measures into place, we need to ___________.A. clear out everything in the systemB. make a random selection of networkC. get rid of potential spywareD. refresh the infected system34. According to the passage, the risk of exposing personal information may possibly be causedby ___________.A. the applications of antivirus programsB. the practice of using public WiFiC. the difficult access to passwordsD. the separate credit card for online shopping35. Which of the following is an improper way to shop online?A. Adopting a unique password for every website.B. Shopping online at reliable websites.C. Keeping credit details safe by checking security symbols.D. Monitoring credit card by storing information online.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。

Community D. College65. A. permanent B. professional C. popular D. familiarSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Rosalind Franklin always liked facts. She was logical and precise, and impatient with things that were otherwise. She decided to become a scientist when she was 15. She passed the examination for admission to Cambridge University in 1938, and it sparked a family crisis. Although her family was well-to-do and had a tradition of public service and charity, her father disapproved of university education for women. He refused to pay.An aunt stepped in and said Franklin should go to school, and she wouldpay for it. Franklin’s mother also took her side until her father finallygave in.She was invited to King’s College in London to join a team ofscientists. The leader of the team assigned her to work on DNA with agraduate student. Franklin’s assumption was that it was her own project. The laboratory’s second-in-command, Maurice Wilkins, was on vacation at the time, and when he returned, their relationship was puzzling. He assumed she was to assist his work; she assumed she’d be the only one working on DNA. They had powerful personality differences as well: Franklin direct, quick, decisive, and Wilkins shy, hesitant, and passive.In 1953, Wilkins changed the course of DNA history by disclosing, without Franklin’s permission, her Photo 51 to competing scientist James Watson, who was working on his own DNA model with Francis Crick at Cambridge. Upon seeing the photograph, Watson said, “My jaw fell open and my pulse began to race,” according to author Brenda Maddox who wrote the book Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA.The two scientists did in fact use what they saw in Photo 51 as the basis for their famous model of DNA, which they published on March 7, 1953, and for which they received a Nobel Prize in 1962. Crick and Watson were also able to take most of the credit for the finding: they included a footnote acknowledging that they were “stimulated by a general knowledge”of Franklin’s and Wilkin’s unpublished contribution, when much of their work was rooted in Franklin’s photo and findings. Franklin didn’t know that these men based their article on her research, and she didn’t complain either, likely as a result of her upbringing. Franklin “didn’t do anything that would invite criticism… (that was) bred into her,” Maddox said.66. Wilkins’ relationship with Franklin was characterized by __________.A. unity and harmonyB. confusion and competitionC. cooperation and miscommunicationD. misunderstanding and conflict67. What does Watson mean by saying “My jaw fell open and my pulse began to race”?A. He was confused that Crick had not made this discovery.B. He was surprised that Wilkins had discovered this information.C. He was satisfied with the importance of Photo 51.D. He was anxious about the progress Wilkins and Franklin had made.68. What is Brenda Maddox’s main intention according to the quote in the last paragraph?A. To re-evaluate the importance of the DNA model.B. To criticize King’s College and Cambridge.C. To emphasize Franklin’s importance in science.D. To deny Watson’s and Crick’s contribution to science.69. Franklin’s career as a scientist demonstrates _________.A. that her work was pointing at the most difficult problemB. that she was the only female scientist during the periodC. the importance of DNA in modern scienceD. that perseverance leads to success and recognition of field scientists70. The reviewer admires Brian Aldiss’ ability to ___________.A. write so many novelsB. continue to be inventive in his writingC. write disturbing plotsD. have a writing career spanning over four decades71. Why does the setting of Jin-Shei appeal to the reviewer?A. It is a good science of fiction setting.B. It is mysterious.C. It is a less common choice of setting.D. It is very magical.72. Terry Brook’s novel continues a series on ___________.A. the adventures of an unsuspecting hero and his attempts to rescue his auntB. a quest about the High Druid of Shannara in a secret chamber in ParanorC. the disappearance of a druid which foils the plans of the enemiesD. liberating a stranded aunt who is key to the knowledge of the Forbidding(C)Aisling’s mother died at midsummer. She had fallen sick so suddenly that some of the villagers wondered if the fairies had come and taken her, for she was still young and beautiful. She was buried three days later beneath the hawthorn tree(山楂树) behind the house, just as twilight was darkening the sky.Maire Solanya, the village greenwitch, came that evening to perform the old rituals over the grave. She stood at the foot of the mound of black soil. Aisling and her father stood at the head of it, resting on the simple headstone, was the burning candle. Aisling’s father had lit it shortly after Elinor died, and it would burn all night. The gravestone was a plain piece of slate carved with her name: Elinor. Grass and tree roots would grow up around it as the years passed, until it would seem as if it had always been there.Maire Solanya said in her low, clear voice, “Life to life, from breath to breath, we remember Elinor.” She held a round loaf of bread in her hands. She tore off a small piece and ate it, chewing deliberately, before handing the loaf to Aisling’s father. He pulled off his own piece, then passed it to his daughter. It was still warm, and it smelled like her mother’s kitchen after baking. But it hadn’t come from her mother’s hands, and that realization made a lump rise in her throat. The bread was tasteless.Maire Solanya took the loaf from her, its crust(面包皮) gaping open, and placed it on the gravestone next to the candle. Aisling couldn’t shake the feeling that her mother had merely gone out on an errand and would come home at any moment and wonder what the three of them were doing. It didn’t seem possible that she was buried there, at the foot of the hawthorn tree, in the ground. It was easier to believe the village rumors than to sit with the ache inside herself.She remembered those rumors now, while she stood with her father and Maire Solanya in a tense silence. Everyone had always said that Elinor had some magic in her, and everyone knew that fairies –if they existed –were drawn to that. So Aisling’s father had ordered all the old rituals, even though he did not believe in them, just in case. She was not entirely sure what she herself believed, but she knew that her mother would want them to do these rituals for her, and that was enough.When the sun slipped below the horizon, the greenwitch said, “Sleep in peace, Elinor,”and scattered a gold powder over the grave to bind Elinor to the earth. On the freshly turned soil, the gold glittered like fairly dust.73. Aisling and her family are most likely __________.A. fairlies in disquiseB. simple village folkC. wealthy farmersD. experienced bakers74. Maire Solanya performed the rituals in order to __________.A. express thanks to the fairiesB. protect the hawthorn treeC. respect Elinor’s wishesD. capture Elinor’s spirit75. Which of the following does not describe Elinor?A. A believer in magic.B. Practical.C. Skilled at baking.D. Youthful.76. Which statement best describes Aisling’s belief in fairies?A. She is uncertain and finds the idea unsettling.B. She finds the idea comforting but is unsure.C. She is certain they exist and wishes they would bring back her mother.D. She believes strongly in the power of their rituals but not in their existence.77. Why did Aisling find the bread “tasteless”?A. It reminded her of her mother’s absence.B. It was a terribly rude thing to eat at her mother’s funeral.C. Solanya was really a poor baker in the village.D. There had not been sufficient ingredients to make the bread.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.How was it that an American ship came to be sunk by American mines in a port held by American forces?Built in1931, the luxury liner SS President Coolidge was a 10-year veteran(退伍军人) of the Pacific before she was pressed into service by the military and converted to carry troops.On October 26, 1942, towards the end of her first year of World War II service, the Coolidge hit an American mine in the east entrance of the Segond Channel on Espiritu Santo, one of the islands of the New Herbrides(now Vanuatu), and sank in 36 meters of water.Though all but two of the 5000 officers and men aboard were saved, the loss of the ship was a military scandal. She had escaped the Japanese during the worst part of the war in the Pacific, only to be lost because of a series of disastrous American mistakes.The master of the Coolidge, Henry Nelson, claimed he hadn’t been warned that the harbor was mined. Worse, in terms of wartime security, neither of the two US destroyers the Coolidge had encountered had challenged her. Nor had they relayed the vital information about the mines. “The first warning was from a signal station further in the harbor telling me to stop, that we were approaching danger,” he wrote.‘I, in turn, stopped the engines and backed the engines, but with the speed we were moving, we still went too far and we struck two mines. I immediately, with the speed we had left, headed the ship to the beach, and ordered “abandon ship ”, which was done and completed in 45 minutes.’‘No one mentioned to me, no one informed me, that there was a mine field in Espiritu Santo. Had there been some knowledge of mines, I never would have approached anywhere visible.’Captain Nelson was exonerated(免罪) by a court of inquiry but those responsible didnot escape blame. The port director’s office at Noumea and the inefficiency of an experienced commanding officer of a navy patrol(巡逻队) and pilot boat were blamed.Today, the Coolidge is one of the world’s best wreck dives. Much of her original luxury decoration remains, including The Lady, perhaps the most photographed underwater icon in the world. Military equipment she was transporting can also still be seen.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. The ship was “pressed into service by the military”suggests that it was ______________.79. What caused the sinking of the ship?80. Why did the ship still hit the mines after the captain stopped the engines?81. Why was the sinking of this ship a “scandal”?第II卷（共47分）I.

ASelfies (自拍) have become an increasingly common way to capture memorable moments. When it comes to taking selfies , knowing the following tips can directly affect the quality of your final product.The use of light is vital to improving image quality. Lights can help avoid shadows and create soft features on your face, so turn your face toward the main light source. If you want to be creative, play with light angles by turning your body, but make sure the photo is properly exposed and your face is lit from the front or the side. Besides, avoid taking selfies against the main light source or with overhead lighting. In addition, natural light possesses a warmth that makes you look like you're glowing.（发光）When taking selfies, angles also matter a lot. Hold the camera away from your face, and try to take photos both horizontally（水平地） and vertically(垂直地). If not, your face might look bigger than usual. Ideally, the universal selfie angle is 45 degrees above your head. But you should study your face at different angles because finding your best angle requires you having seen all of them.One problem with selfies is that most have distracting backgrounds. You can always do more to show others your best side. Try to simplify the background by taking selfies outdoors or in spacious areas. Document yourself engaging in interesting activities---hiking with family members, visiting landmarks, or working out with friends. At least, you can make the photo appealing by getting rid of your outstretched arm or a background that's too busy.You can also download some photo apps that allow you to adjust the lighting and contrast. Some apps offer useful filters, which can change your skin tone and remove pimples (粉刺) on your face.1．To get an image of high quality, you need to _______.A. be under the light sourceB. be against the main lightC. face the main light sourceD. have the photo fully exposed 2．How can you find the angle that suits you most?A. Study your face at different angles.B. Hold the camera far enough from you.C. Keep the camera lower than your face.D. Place the camera 45 degrees above your head.3．Which of the following should be avoided when taking selfies?A. The use of natural light.B. A landmark as a background.C. Changes of the skin tone.D. A busy background.BThe pounding（重击声） was driving Edward crazy. A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereo （立体声音响）loud enough for the whole building to hear.On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairs and politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building. The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. The next day all was quiet, and Edward continued to be pleased with himself. The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching band was playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again.Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did with rude neighbors －—grin and bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else are you going to do?In Los Angeles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years.The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment, she could always move. When you’re in prison, you don’t have that option.4．The man living below where Edward lived was .A．a deaf man B．the owner of the houseC．a tenant D．an old neighbor5．What did Edward always do with rude neighbors?A．Grinning and bearing it.

Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing so me boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as “Would you really marry a woman who works?” And today it’d be “Would you marry one who doesn’t?”The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.12. The book Gone with the Wind was _________.A. first published on a newspaperB. awarded ten Academy AwardsC. written in “The Dump”D. adapted from a movie13. The underlined phrase “tower over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.A. be very pleased withB. be much taller thanC. show great respect forD. show little interest in14. We can know about Margaret Mitchell from the passage that _________.A. her height made her marriage unhappyB. her interest in writing continued as an adultC. writing stopped her working as a reporterD. her life was full of hardship and sadness15. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.B.Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.C. An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House.D.

ASunday, October 5 Clear, 69°FMy wife, Eleanor, and I took the train from Paris to Strasbourg, where we were met by our driver and guide, and the minibus which goes along with the boat. We stopped off in Barn for an hour on the way. Then we were taken to Nancy where the boat was kept.After the other passengers arrived, we had our first dinner on the boat. After dinner we walked into downtown Nancy, a village with a large square and wooden houses. Monday, October 6 Rained las t night, cloudy in the morning, 69°F We spent about two hours in Nancy, then sailed on the Canal de la Marne au Rhine. Kind of a lazy day. Eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner. After dinner we watched a tape on Baccarat, which we will visit tomorrow.It was pleasant to sit out on deck and watch the scenery go by at about 3 mph. Tuesday, October 7 Light rain, 64°FThis morning we drove over to Baccarat and toured its museum and the church, which has this unbelievable lamp that is going on a world tour the next day. We did lots of shopping, then walked across the bridge to see a very, very modern Catholic church with special Baccarat windows.We drove to the top of the Voges Mountains and started down the eastern side. Later, we drove to Sorrenbourg to see the 13th century church at the Cordeliers. It contains 小学+初中+高中+努力=大学the largest window by Mar.Wednesday, October 8 Cloudy, 65 °FToday we sailed from Schneckenbush to Saverne. We went through two caves, an extremely unusual part of the journey. This river scenery is very different. We were in a mountain valley with grassland on one side and a forest beginning to show some color on the other.Thursday, October 9 Cloudy, 66°FOur dependable minibus was waiting to load the luggage and take us to the hotel where everyone went their separate ways. Our boating days are over until next time.1.Where did the author get off the train?A. ParisB. StrasbourgC. NancyD. Barn2.On which days did the tourists spend most of their time on the boat?A. Monday and Tuesday.B. Tuesday and Wednesday.C. Wednesday and Thursday.D. Monday and Wednesday.3.From the text, we learn that Baccarat and Sorrenbourg are the names o f_________.A. townsB. churchesC. museum sD. mountainsBIt’s just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no address. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years.It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. He didn’t hate the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it: overspending, running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and powder for Grandma…Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so forth. I reached for something special for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way.Our son Kevin, at 12 that year, was wrestling at the junior level at the school he attended and before Christmas, there was a non-league match against a team sponsored 小学+初中+高中+努力=大学by an inner-city church, mostly black.As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without headgear to protect a wrestler’s ears. They obviously could not afford.Mike shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.”Mike loved kids—all kids—and he knew them, having coached little league football, baseball and lacrosse. That’s when the idea for his present came.That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought an assortment of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously to the inner-city church.On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year. For each Christmas, I followed the tradition.The envelope became the highlight of our Christmas. It was always the last thing opened on Christmas morning and our children, ignoring their new toys, would stand with wide-eyed anticipation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to reveal its contents.The tradition has grown and someday will expand even further with our grandchildren standing around the tree with wide-eyed anticipation watching as their fathers take down the envelope. Mike’s spirit, like the Christmas spirit, will always be with us.4. What does the underlined word “bypass” mean?A. give upB. buyC. throw awayD. change5. Why did Mike hate Christmas according to the passage?A．He didn’t like the true meaning of Christmas.B．He didn’t like people spending too much money on presents.C．He hated buying presents for Uncle Harry and Grandma.D．He didn’t want to receive gifts like shirts, sweaters or ties.6. What was Mike’s reaction to the non-league match?A. Mike hoped that his son would win the match.B. Mike thought that the church should have given the black boys more money.C. Mike thought the black boys were too proud.D. Mike felt sympathy for the team of black boys.小学+初中+高中+努力=大学7.The writer’s purpose of writing the passage is to _______.A．show the importance of coachingB．illustrate how a difficult life the black boys ledC．tell a story of a special Christmas presentD．show her pride in her boy’s good performanceCScientists say that playing with the opportunity to be creative is one of the basic needs for children’s development, and the desire to play is anchored in child ren’s personality.How do children play? Do kids today play differently from the ways I used to play?When I was a child, I didn’t have many toys. A dollhouse that I once got for Christmas was the greatest gift I could imagine. My siblings(兄弟姐妹), my friends and I played “Mom and Dad” with the dollhouse and our dolls again and again, never getting tired of it. The first Lego blocks came up replacing the traditional wooden building blocks. The lack of ready-to-use-toys inspired us to create our own using many kinds of material like paper to fold into ships or hats, or wood to carve toys.If I compare the ways I used to play with the ways my children play now, there are many differences. Their rooms are filled with toys, and nevertheless they sometimes have no idea what to play. Having too many choices makes them feel overwhelmed, unable to take advantage of each single one.Also, the toys themselves have changed dramatically. I see many plastic toys ready to use; there is no need for children to create their own ideas and invent their own toys. Electronic toys are on the rise, displacing classical toys. Children don’t need to be creative; playing does not involve much imagination. Now they expect some kind of simulation and entertainment. Electronic toys require more passive reactions and logical thinking. Playing outdoors has become less interesting as this would keep them away from their video games and play stations.8. According to the writer, what he played in his boyhood was________.小学+初中+高中+努力=大学A. boringB. simpleC. easyD. creative9. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably means “_________”.A. the desire to play has bad effects on a child’s personalityB. the desire to play is the nature of all childrenC. the desire to play limits the development of a childD. the desire to play becomes stronger as a child grows10. Which of the following is NOT true about the author’s childhood?A. They had few toys to play with.B. They made some toys by themselves.C. It was a hard time for them for lack of toys.D. They often played the “Mom and Dad” game.11. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Modern toys ought to be abandoned.B. Toys should encourage creativity.C. Today’s children consider playing outdoo rs more interesting.D. Modern toys are more advanced than old ones.DA cancer-stricken British teenage girl said Thursday she had been moved by messages of support from around the world after writing an online “Bucket List” of things she wanted to do before dying.Alice Pyne, l5, created an Internet blog in which she described her fight against a cancer of the white blood cells. “I’ve been fighting cancer for almost four years and now I know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn’t look like I’m going to win this one,” she wrote.For her list, the teenager took inspiration from the 2007 film “The Bucket List” in which two men who are badly ill, draw up a list of things they wish to do before they die.On her list, at the site , she has included making everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor (骨髓捐赠者), swimming with sharks, meeting boy band Take That and getting a purple iPad computer.Messages of support and offers of help quickly flooded her webpage and it became 小学+初中+高中+努力=大学one of the most talked about subjects on Twitter.“Oh, dear, and I thought that I was just doing a little blog for a few friends!” she wrote after her site attracted huge attention. “Thank you so much for all your lovely messages to me.”Pyne, who lives with her family in the northwest English town of Ulverston, revealed the management of Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog.A group of local lawmakers have also joined forces with the Anthony blood cancer charity to encourage people to join its stem cell register.12.What happened after Alice Pyne wrote her “Bucket List”?A.People around the world sent messages to support her.B.People sent gifts to her from all over the world.C.A lot of people offered to donate bone marrow to her.D.The media called on people to help her.13.Alice Pyne wrote her “Bucket List” to .A.catch people’s attentionB.say goodbye to a few friendsC.give comfort to two terminally ill menD.express her last few wishes14.It can be inferred from the second paragraph that Alice Pyne .A.is unaware of her own conditionsB.is very sad to know that she will dieC.is calm to know that death is approachingD.is still quite confident in fighting against cancer15.Which of the following is NOT on Alice Pyne’s “Bucket List”?A.To ask people to donate bone marrow.B.To get a cool computer.C.To swim with sharks.D.To meet a boy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）小学+初中+高中+努力=大学根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Grandfather was a wise man. No matter how badly-behaved I had been, I could tell Grandpa anything and my secrets were 36 . He loved me and would never give them away.I remember a time when a bunch of us were playing baseball behind Mrs. Ferguson’s house. I hit one pitch just right and …slam! It ended up breaking Mrs. Ferguson’s kitchen window! We all 37 !After I got home, I told Grandpa about it. He knew we had been 38 many times about the dangers of playing where we shouldn’t. 39 he just listened.“I was wrong,”I told him, with my head down. “I hate myself fo r what I did.Is there a way 40 ?”“Well,”he said, “Mrs. Ferguson has a problem, just like you. If she knew you 41 and you were afraid of her, she would be sad. I’ll bet she wishes you would give her a chance to be 42 . It’s your decision. Are you planning to 43 nothing happened? Just keep quiet and hide what you’re not proud of?”“I don’t know,” I 44 . “Things might get worse…”“Let’s think it through,” he said finally. “If you were Mrs. Ferguson, what would you do?”I didn’t kn ow what she might do.
