These libraries have a 21 of some 115 million books. And about one-third of the population are 22 of public libraries. This lending and reference library service is, with some limitation, free.Public libraries not only lend books, music scores(乐谱) and records, but also supply special libraries to 23 , among children, patients in hospital and prisoners, and they 24 in many kinds of extra activities, 25 reading, lectures, film shows, music circles and cooperation in adult education.The greatest and most famous library in Britain is that of the British Museum, which 26 over six million books. A copy of every book, magazine, newspaper, etc. 27 in Great Britain, must be sent to the British Museum. The reading room of the Museum is famous for the 28 of scholars and 29 people who have studied in it. The British Museum Library is not, by the way, a 30 library.The second 31 library in Britain is the Bodleian Library at Oxford. The National Library of Scotland, Cambridge University Library, and the National Library of Wales are also famous and may 32 a copy of every new 33 issued in Britain.

Without zoos many of the creatures we love and admire would no longer exist. Every single day，over one hundred animal species vanish. Scientists predict that as early as 2050 one quarter of the Earth’s species will become extinct.Some animals are in danger because they are hunted. Alarmingly, the population of tigers has already fallen by ninety-five percent. Other species are in danger because of a lack of food. For example, there are fewer than 1300 giant pandas left in the wild.Zoos have special breeding programmes to help those animals at risk. These breeding programmes are proving extremely successful. As Irene Shapiro from Zoo and Wildlife Support says, “the Puerto Rican Parrot has grown in numbers from just thirteen to about eighty-five and the Golden Lion Tamarin Monkey, which has almost ceased to exist twenty years ago, has been reintroduced back into the wild. ”Unfortunately, not everyone understands this important role zoos play. For example, Brian Featherstone from the Anti-Zoo Forum says, “I can’t believe we take animals from the wild and put them in cages for the entertainment of the public! We should view them on film or TV in their natural environment.，’However, this misses the point. A zoo does more than display animals to the public. It ensures their survival. Without zoos you would not be able to see many of these animals on TV or anywhere else!36．What’s the writer’s attitude towards zoos?A．He shows no opinion either for or against them.B．He thinks that they are unnecessary and cruel.C．He believes they play an important environmental role.D．He expresses a desire that more of them be built.37．The underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _____.A．remain B．disappear C．become rarer D．get killed 38．According to the passage the world’s tiger population _____.A．will rise by 5% next year B．is relatively stableC．is 95% smaller than in the past D．has fallen to 95%39．According to the passage some people do not agree with zoos because they _____ A．are too expensive to run B．put animals in dangerC．do not provide enough food D．keep animals locked up 40．According to the writer ，the most important function of the zoo is to _____. A．make a lot of money B．entertain visitorsC．ensure animals’ survival D．educate the publicResearchers at the University of Bedforshire have developed a new technique for powering electronic device（装置）. The system, developed by Professor Ben Allen at the Centre for Wireless Research, uses radio（无线电）waves as power.Believed to be a world first, the team claims it could eventually eliminate (or get rid of )the need for conventional batteries. The university has now filed a patent application to secure the only rights to the technique.Professor Allen and his team have created a system to use medium wave frequencies to replace batteries in small everyday devices like clocks and remote controls.The new technique uses the “waste” energy of radio waves and has been developed as part of the university’s research into “power harvesting”. Professor Allen said that as radio waves have energy―like light waves, sound waves or wind waves―then, in theory, these waves could be used to create power.“The emerging（新兴的）area of power harvesting technology promises to reduce our reliance on conventional batteries,” he said. “It’s really exciting way of taking power from sources other than what we would normally think of.”The team is now waiting for the results of the patent application to secure recognition of the technique. Professor Allen said that the team’s achievements had all been done in their “spare time”. “Our next stage is to try and raise some real funds so that we can take this work forward and make a working prototype（模型）and maybe partner up with the right people andtake this to a full product in due course,” he said.“Power harvesting has a really important part in our future, because, just in this country, we dispose of somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 tonnes of batteries in landfill（垃圾填理）sites every single year－that is toxic chemicals going into the ground.”He added that development of the product could also be “commercially beneficial”. “The market for this is several billion pounds. We’ve seen market predictions for 2020 which have these kinds of figures, so there’s a lot of commercial potential in this area,” he said.Pro-Vice Chancellor at the University of Bedfordshire, Professor Carsten Maple, said, “This type of work is a reflection of the university’s growing reputation and experience in conducting innovative（创新的）research.”41．From the text we know the new technique for powering electronic devices_____. A．can be applied to all electronic devices.B．uses radio waves to create power.C．has replaced conventional batteries.D．produces many toxic chemicals.42．According to Professor Allen, power harvesting technology______.A．makes every use of radio waves.B．takes power from usual sources.C．reduces our dependency on conventional batteries.D．aims at huge commercial benefits.43．What can we learn about Professor Allen and his team from the text?A．They have made use of radio waves in their daily life.B．They have raised a big fund to support their research.C．They have gained a patent for their new technology.D．They mainly did their research in their spare time.44．What is Professor Carsten Maple’s attitude toward the new technique?A．Critical.B．Favorable.C．Conservative.D．Negative. 45．What is the text mainly about?A．A new technique to create power.B．A crisis concerning conventional batteries.C．Some special sources of power.D．The development of power harvesting.Since the end of World War I (WWI) in 1918，Canadians, and millions of others around the world have paused at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to honour the sacrifices our soldiers have made in different wars, fighting for the freedoms that we all enjoy today. Known as Remembrance Day, the day originated as a tribute to the soldiers of WWI，a dark period for our young country, which claimed the lives of over 60,000 military personnel and civilians and over 16 million dead worldwide.As there are no more surviving soldiers of WWI，today we rely on the wisdom and words of those soldiers who fought in the wars that followed，and this day now also recognizes their heroic contribution.They tell us to always remember what those brave souls fought for, and all they ask in return is that we never forget.That’s why we wear the red poppy (罂粟花);that’s why when we see a soldier in uniform we should stop him or her and say “Thank you” ; that’s why we take a pause from our busy lives for two short minutes today to honor that request.Yet this message is fading away, year after year.Take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from Remembrance Day ceremonies at school.Not only is this disrespectful, it distances the student from his or her classmates.It is difficult to understand why any Canadian parent would want to remove their child from the time-honored tradition of reading the poem In Flanders Fields, while a wreath of poppies is laid.It is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history，no matter how violent it was. Sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice. Understanding why conflicts happened, or happen today, can help shape choices and decisions they make as adults.Of course, because we live in a free society, we cannot force an individual to do something.Itis unfortunate, but some parents now have their child “opt-out” of the services. These people should be reminded they are free to make such choices only because of the men and women the rest of us are remembering.46．Which of the following is true about Remembrance Day?A．It’s only held in Canada.B．Its ceremony lasts 11 hours.C．It falls on November 11th each year.D．It’s to celebrate the country’s independence.47．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a Remembrance Day activity today? A．Stopping at 11a.m. to remember the war dead.B．Listening to stories told by WWI soldiers.C．Wearing a red poppy to show respect.D．Showing gratitude to soldiers in uniform.48．What can we learn from the passage?A．War history is too violent for school children.B．The writer was once a soldier in the Canadian army.C．Few students are willing to take part in Remembrance Day ceremonies.D．More parents are keeping their children away from frightening war stories.49．The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph probably refers to _____A．the death of so many soldiers in warsB．the fact that there were so many wars after WWIC．people’s ungratefulness for the freedom they haveD．removing children from Remembrance Day events50．The writer believes that_____A．the sacrifice of the soldiers should always be rememberedB．Remembrance Day is becoming less important for soldiersC．schools - no longer think Remembrance Day is necessaryD．people should be forced to learn about the realities of warMaurice Sendak’s children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are, published in 1963, has become very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year. The book’s main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed without any supper. Before long, Max’s room magically becomes a forest, and he sails away to a land where monsters(怪物，怪兽) live. Max isn’t scared, though, and becomes king of the wild things, but after a while, he begins feeling homesick. Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in his bedroom.Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity andimagination. Melina Davis, an education professor, said she likes how the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children, but experts say those words help improve children’s reading skills and challenge them.Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through, like ‘I was naughty but my mommy still loves me’,” Davis said.The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think it’s really good to show that Max makes friends with the monsters,” Davis said. “Kids can find out monsters aren’t always the thing under the bed that’s going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”Since the book has been successful throughout the years, a movie was recently made and many people are excited to see it. Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little scary for younger children. “You don’t want bad dreams over a book that’s extremely wonderful,” Davis said.51．Teachers and professors like the book because it helps children ______. A．understand pictures B．improve reading skillsC．face their fear bravely D．become more imaginative52．Why does the book contain some larger words?A．To make the story more formal.B．To help challenge the children’s reading skillsC．To encourage children to learn more new words.D．To help children better understand the story.53．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The character Max is brave enough in the story.B．Max was sent to the forest as punishment.C．People of all ages are in favor of the book.D．The movie based on the book proves to be a great success.54．What does Davis think of the movie?A．She thinks children of all ages will love it.B．She encourages children to see it to fight against their fear.C．She worries that it might be too frightening for some children.D．She believes it will be a better choice for children than the book.55．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A．To advise parents to help children to improve their reading skills.B．To comment on a famous children’s book.C．To encourage children to face their fear and become more imaginative.D．To introduce a movie based on a children’s book.四、信息匹配请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

Get to know some films to find fantastic film locations(地点) you should check out on your travels.The Sound of MusicAustria's hills are certainly alive with the sound of music and tourists. Mozart may have been born in Salzburg, but The Sound of Music really put it on the map and now about 70 percent of people visit it because of the movie. Cross Residenzplatz Square and visit the Palace of Leopoldskron where the children in the film fell into the lake.TroyAlthough the Palace of Troy was filmed on sets built at Shepperton Studios in the UK, most of the 2004 movie was shot in Malta and Baja California, Mexico. Malta with historicsites and beautiful blue waters was a good choice to replace Greece. Troy was shot at a host of locations, including Golden Bay, Hal Far as well as Fort Ricasoli(where the city of Troy was constructed). The Trojan horse from the film is now lying on the waterfront in Canakkale, Turkey.Bridget Joneses DiaryBridget Jones is brought to life as we watch the work and romance in London. Her special corner flat is above the Globe Tavern by Borough Market, one of the city's oldest and biggest food markets. According to The Telegraph, it would be highly unlikely that she could afford to buy a place like that today since it has risen in value by more than 240 percent.Harry PotterJ. K. Rowling started writing the Harry Potter books while she was living in Edinburgh, Scotland, so it's no surprise that she set most of the story there. The Hogwarts Express travels through the Scottish Highlands and along the 31 meters high Glenfinnan Viaduct. The second highest waterfall in the UK, Steall Falls can be seen during Quidditch matches.16．Which of the following films makes Salzburg famous?A．The Sound of Music. B．Troy.C．Bridget Jones's Diary. D．Harry Potter.17．Where was the city of Troy built?A．In Hal Far. B．In Fort Ricasoli. C．In Canakkale. D．In Golden Bay. 18．What is the similarity of the last two films?A．Their theme is mainly about romance. B．Their authors lived in the same house. C．Most of their stories were set in the UK. D．They cause the prices of houses to rise.Jerome Karie and Isabella Lugoski met in their first physical chemistry class at the University of Michigan in 1940. Jerome Karie was in his first year of doctoral work, Isabella Lugoski was in her last year as an undergraduate(大学本科生), and they were laboratory partners. However, they didn't get along well at first.Isabella Lugoski looked back on the past, “I walked into the physical chemistry laboratory and there's a young man in the desk next to mine with his equipment all set up running his experiment. I don't think I was very polite about my question. I asked him how he got there early and had everything all set up. He didn't like that. So we didn't talk to each other for a while.Their relationship got going as they competed for the top grade in that course and they started to build connection because both of them were interested in chemistry. They married in 1942. By 1946, both of the Karies had earned doctorates in physical chemistry, and, after a period of time at the University of Chicago working on the Manhattan Project, moved to Washington DC to join the US Naval Research Laboratory.Each specialized in a different aspect of X-ray crystallography(晶体学): Jerome focused on developing equations(方程式) that could determine how atoms(原子) were arranged inside complex molecules, while Isabella ran practical experiments to test how well the equations worked. Working together, they created what is now called the direct method for determining molecular structures(分子结构), which has allowed scientists to effectively study and copy complex organic molecules to continue further study.Jerome Karie was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1985. Although he was disappointed that the Nobel committee had ignored Isabella's contribution to that work, she was unfazed. At that point, she had already won more awards and prize money for her experimental work than he had.19．What did Isabella Lugoski do when she first met Jerome Karie?A．She blamed him for his being late. B．She set up all his equipment for him. C．She asked him a question impolitely. D．She observed his experiment silently. 20．What made Jerome Karie and Isabella Lugoski become connected?A．Their common interest in chemistry. B．Their wonderful marriage since 1940. C．Their pleasant first talk in a laboratory. D．Their successful cooperation in courses. 21．What is paragraph 4 mainly intended to show?A．The Karies' encouraging further study. B．The Karies' good teamwork in science. C．How the Karies worked with others. D．Why the Karies won the Nobel Prize. 22．Which of the following best explains “unfazed" underlined in the last paragraph? A．Generous. B．Touched. C．Shocked. D．Calm.It is generally accepted these days that reading a book will help you relieve stress. And it may actually make you a more thoughtful person as you learn to connect with the various characters. But there’s more. A new study discovered that reading more than 3.5 hours per week actually increased a person’s lifespan(寿命) by 23 percent-about 12 years for the people involved in the study.The study was led by a group of researchers at Yale University. It looked at 3,635 people, both men and women but all older than 50.The researchers divided them into three categories: those who didn’t read books; those who read up to 3.5 hours a week; those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.After the researchers adjusted for factors like education, health and income, the data showed that, on average, those who read about 3.5 hours a week were 17 percent less likely to die.In addition, the study examined people who read newspapers and magazines and found that they were 11 percent less likely to die than non-readers, but only if they spent more than seven hours reading each week. That may be due to the different forms of these items. When people read newspapers or magazines, they tend to skim the material rather than read it fully. AvniBavishi, the study’s leader, said, “We believe people need to know, learn and understand more things when they are reading books, because they’re longer and there are more characters, more plots to follow, and more connections to make.”From all of this, the authors concluded that, as with a healthy diet and exercise, books appear to promote a “significant survival advantage”.Clearly, ther e is a need for more study. We’re certain that book lovers all around the world will be glad to provide the data needed to make further conclusions.23．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．A few people think that reading can help them relax.B．Reading can make a person more sensitive.C．Reading can help a person to live a longer life.D．Most people think that reading can help them to live a better life.24．What can we learn about the people in the study from the text?A．All of them were older than fifty.B．Most of them were women readers.C．More than half of them were college students.D．They were divided into four groups by the researchers.25．Generally speaking, those who read newspapers and magazines than those who read books.A．live longer B．are more likely to be positive C．have a better ability to understand D．get fewer benefits in terms of the lifespan26．In the last paragraph, the writer aims to .A．tell readers about the importance of readingB．tell readers that the study needs more dataC．call on book lovers to provide more data for the studyD．encourage readers to make further conclusions by themselvesLooking for a fun Earth Day activity? You may want to try plogging, or picking up litter while jogging. Strange as it may sound, the new “sport" is becoming popular with runners worldwide? many of whom are posting photos of themselves and friends holding bags of trash on social media.Plogging is the idea of Erik Alstrom. In 2016, after moving to Stockholm in northern Sweden, Alstrom showed concern over the amount of trash on the road during his daily bike ride to work. Thus, he began plogging during his daily runs.Other joggers soon joined Alstrom, and the activity became so popular that official “plogging" events sta rted all across Sweden. As plogging became popular on social media, the new “sport" began to spread beyond Sweden, first to other European countries and then worldwide.The official online “Plogga" group now includes members from over 40 countries, all the way from United States cities like Ohio to Thailand and Ecuador. Many school running clubs are also getting in on the action to encourage people, staging competitions that reward the runners with the heaviest trash bags.As it turns out, plogging is not only good for the environment but also a healthy way to exercise. According to Swedish fitness app Lifesun, an average person burns about 288 calories while plogging for half an hour. This is about 50 calories more than he/she would burn when just jogging. Additionally, the constant squatting(蹲) to pick up litter increases the plogger's flexibility, while lugging(费力地拖) around the increasingly heavy garbage bags helps strengthen his/her arm muscles.On this Earth Day, be sure to put on your running shoes, carry a trash bag or two, and go plogging. Or better still, start a plogging team at school, or around your neighborhood, and make every day Earth Day!27．Why did Erik Alstrom decide to pick up litter while running?A．He wanted to clear out a path to ride his bike.B．He was concerned about the trash on the road.C．He was fond of exercising on his way to work.D．He dreamed to become popular across Sweden.28．How do school running clubs support the new “sport”？A．They post photos of official events online.B．They explain what plogging means on stage.C．They compete with one another for members.D．They hold competitions to attract people to plog.29．Why is Swedish fitness app Lifesun mentioned in paragraph 5?A．To show that plogging is of benefit to health.B．To say that plogging is environment-friendly.C．To offer the approaches to exercising properly.D．To tell joggers to carry heavy bags to work out.30．What is the best title for the text?A．Plogging: A Strange But New “Sport" for RunnersB．What We Should Do to Reduce the Amount of LitterC．Running Is Really Helpful to Environmental ProtectionD．Plogging: A Fun Activity for Earth Day and Every Day三、七选五Different CulturesThe cultures of the East and the West really distinguish themselves from each other a lot. 31．.The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries:China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Indus River in India. 32．When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture，another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian plain（美索不达米亚平原）一the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greek.33．Like the Chinese culture，the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America，their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish itself from the European culture a lot.34．Take the language system for example. In the East，most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race differences count as well. But what's more，due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West，the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference（干预）from the other.The differences are everywhere. 35．But different cultures make the world in the 21st century more varied. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human beings. It ought to be the motivation for our going farther.A．Let us work together to keep a variety of cultures.B．One important thing is to learn about the other's culture.C．And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.D．This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.E.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.F.They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.G.At the same time，some other differences add to the cultural differences.四、完形填空At just 18 years old, Canberra student Lochie Ferrier has already conducted research in a frontier field -aerospace(宇航工业) engineering. Aerospace engineering is the primary 36 of engineering concerned with the science and technology of aircraft and spacecraft.In 2014, he was one of 80 high school students worldwide who 37 a six-week science and engineering program at MIT.

This category is open to students aged 21 years or 47 and carries a $ 5,000 prize. If he won, he would use the money to help fund 48 research into OASIS. “My plan for using the money would be to try to use materials which could stand up to the 49 environment of space,” he says.He is also considering how to 50 the technology to organizations such as NASA and satellite manufacturers.Lochie’s51 in aerospace engineering was aroused by the big dish antenna(碟形天线) at NASA’s tracking station near Canberra, which he visited in his early teens.

Five years later, our little girl, Becky 26 our family. I wanted everybody to be healthy and happy. I worked hard to see that they were.As the kids grew older, I worried about headaches, throat infections and many other common childhood illnesses．I didn’t like it when the boys spent time “warming the bench (板凳)” during Little League football games. I worried about Becky when she 27 the ball while playing softball．Before long, the teen years were upon us. I stayed up late at night waiting for the boys to return home．Many times the 28 crossed my mind that I would call the police if they weren’t home on time. 29 , they always arrived home safe and sound before I had to take such 30 .“Please don't ever call the police,” one of the boys said when I31 him after a late arrival.

With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phones, writing by hand has become something of a nostalgic(怀旧的) skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful—both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s i mportant to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks－both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s w riting skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active, which helps us understand our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written languag e to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) “those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks，” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the choices given by the computer.”41. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?A. The absence of blackboards in classrooms.B. The use of new technologies in teaching.C. The lack of practice in handwriting.D. The popular use of smart phones.42. Berninger’s study published in 2009 ________.A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computerB. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paperC. found that good essays are made up of long sentencesD. discussed the importance of writing speed43. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words.B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.44. What does “mind’s eye” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. WindowB. SoulC. PictureD. Imagination45. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?A. Computers can help people with their choice of words.B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.C. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.BWhat makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt？Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most? This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion (蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe；my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate. Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he unwrapped those black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.46. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was _________.A. doing shoppingB. having a debateC. reading a messageD. leaving for Wyoming47. The author's inspiration for the gift came from _________.A. a photo of a flowerB. a story about a kidC. a call from the motherD. a text about Christmas48. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by _________.A. the father B．the author C. William Blake D. Edgar Allan Poe49. The author made the gift by ________.A. searching for the poems onlineB. drawing the background by handC. painting the letters in three colorsD. matching the words with pictures50. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show how to design images for giftsB. To suggest making gifts from one’s heartC. To explain how computers help create giftsD. To describe the gifts the author has receivedCFrom the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age. We are immunized (免疫) from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and medical treatment. It is almost certain that one day cures will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable slaughter (屠杀) of men, women and children on the roads.Man vs the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and absolutely selfish. All their hidden disappointments and regrets seem to be brought by the act of driving.The surprising thing is that society smiles so kindly on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost impossible to live in because of heavy tragic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.It is high time a world system of laws were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. As for driving, the laws of some countries are not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough. Here are a few examples of some the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can affect a person’s driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be introduced on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications (规范) for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately severe. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.51. The main idea of this passage is _________.A. Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.B. Thousands of people the world over are killed each year.C. The laws of some countries about driving are not too strict.D. Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.52. What does the author think of society toward motorists?A. Society laughs at the motorists.B. Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.C. Victims of accidents are nothing.D. Society forgives their rude driving.53. Why does the author say: “his car becomes the extension of his personality?”A. Driving can show his real self.B. Driving can show the other part of his personality.C. Driving can bring out his character.D. His car can express his temper.54. Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?A. Build more highways.B. Make stricter driving testsC. Test drivers every three years.D. Raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.55. The attitude of the author is _________.A. ironicalB. criticalC. appealingD. favorableDFranz Kafka wrote that “A book must be the ax(斧子)for the frozen sea inside us.” I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn’t seem to require any explanation. We’d just finished John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. “Are you crying?” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. “I am,” I told her, “and the funny thing is I’ve read it many times.”But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was alwaysgoing to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, I’ve taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand, more than I ever will, the novel’s terrible logic—the giving way of dreams to fate (命运).For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of literature(文学) with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high school—one that often attracts the literary-minded (有文学头脑的) children of Manhattan’s upper classes—into a less competitive school. The daughter of immigrants (移民), with a father in prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional “cultural capital” could help students like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came from homes lined wi th bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph.D.’s.Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didn’t always read from the expected point of view. About The Red Pony, one s tudent said, “it's about being a man, it’s about manliness (男子气概).”I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeth’s soliloquies (独白) read as raps, but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbeck’s writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that “all these people hate each other, and they’re all white.” His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.56. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that a book helps to________.A. realize our dreamsB. give support to our lifeC. smooth away difficultiesD. awake our emotions57. Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men?A. Because they spent much time reading it.B. Because they had read the novel before.C. Because they came from a public school.D. Because they had similar life experiences.58. The girl left the selective high school possibly because ________.A. she was a literary-minded girlB. her parents were immigrantsC. she couldn’t fit in with her classD. her father was then in prison59. To the author’s surprise, the students read the novels ________.A. creativelyB. passivelyC. repeatedlyD. carelessly60. The author writes the passage mainly to ________.A. introduce classic works of literatureB. advocate teaching literature to touch the heartC. argue for equality among high school studentsD. defend the current testing system第二节信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）注意：选项中有一项是多余选项。

Growers, north ofSan Francisco, have begun pulling out of local farmers markets.CountyLineHarvest, which farms more than 30 acres inPetaluma, hasn’t had enough water to grow all the peppers, lettuces and other produce for a long time, according to a video on its Instagram page. Nearby farms arc saying the same, emphasizing (强调) the effect of theextendeddry periods.Californiagrows a third of theUnited States' vegetables and two-thirds of the nation's fruits and nuts. If dry weather prevents farmers from growing plants, that could lead to pushing up the price of food that's already starting to affect theU.S.economy.“Due to severe drought, for the first time in 21 years, we will not be able to grow this summer inPetaluma,"CountyLinesaid in its post.Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc. inKansas, saidCalifornia“missed the rainy season" and won't see much moisture (水分) over the next several months.A La Nina weather pattern in the Pacific pushed winter storms north and away from the state, leaving it with less moisture than usual. AsCaliforniagets most of its water from winter storms, little relief is expected before October.That has left growers such as Shao Shan Fann in a bind. The business can’t offer the selection of Asian vegetables and Bay Area staples it usually grows at its Bolinas location, according to its website.Nearby, Green Valley Community Farm has access to only about 5% of the water it usually relies on, owner David Plescia said. He’s looking for new land with enough water to use, and also has a permit in the works to grow cannabis to make up for the lost income. If it doesn’t make it, he’ll leave the fields empty.“It’s part of our generation’s cross to bear, figuring out how to run small — or medium-scale farm businesses in this kind of atmosphere of highly variable rainfall,” Andrew said.4. What does the underlined word “extended” in the second paragraph mean?A. Hot.B. Short.C. Long.D. Wonderful.5. Which is the result if the dry weather stops famers from planting crops?A. Theincreaseinthe priceof food.B. The growth of economy inU.S.C.Lessmoisture than usual.D. The low price of Asian vegetables.6. From what Andrew said, we can infer (推断) all of the following statements EXCEPT that________.A. The climate is not very goodB. It is part of the burden for people of his generationC. It is hard for him to run his farm businesses insuch bad climateD. He is sure that the serious drought will come to an end soon7. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How do the famers run businesses inCalifornia.B. How does the owner look for new land with enough waterC. California farmers facing drought choose not to plant crops.D. The farm economy of theUnited Stateshas changed a lot.CChinese archaeologists（考古学家）announced on Saturday that some new major discoveries have been made at the Sanxingdui Ruins site in Southwest China, helping uncover another start of the Chinese civilization.Archaeologists have found six new sacrificial pits（祭祀坑）and unearthed more than 500 treasures dating back 3,000 years at the Sanxingdui Ruins in Sichuan Province. So far, archaeologists have unearthed masses of important cultural items from four of the pits, including pieces of gold masks, gold foil, bronze（青铜）masks, bronze trees and large numbers of ivories. The rest of the newly discovered pits arc still being dug up.“Surprisingly, we have unearthed some never — heard — of — before bronze items," said Lei Yu, from the Sichuan Archaeology Research Institute. 'Tor instance, some large and well-made bronze items have strange-looking dragon or cow designs on them.”In another major discovery, relics of silk products were found for the first time at Sanxingdui, which shows “the ancient Shu Kingdom was one of the important starts of silk in ancient China" according to Tang Fei, head of the digging team.The new pits sit next to two sacrificial pits discovered in 1986, with areas ranging between 3o square meters and 19 square meters. Together they form an area in which people of the ancient Shu civilization held ceremonies to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and their forefathers, and prayed for good luck and peace.The Sanxingdui Ruins is regarded as one of the greatest archaeological finds of mankind in the 20th century. The site was accidentally discovered by a farmer in the 1920s. The ruins are located in the city ofGuanghan, about 60 kilometers fromChengduand are believed to be the relics of theShuKingdom.8. What can we learn from the text?A. Totally there are 500 treasures unearthed.B. Six new sacrificial pits are under repair.C. The unearthed treasures date from 3000 years ago.D. There are six sacrificial pits at Sanxingdui.9. What does the discovery of the relics of silk products mean?A.

What was the main function of the sacrificial pits?A. To celebrate festivals.B. To store valuable items.C. To bury important figures.D. To hold sacrifice ceremonies.11. Who first discovered the Sanxingdui Ruins?A. A farmer.B. Lei YuC. Tang Fei.D. Archaeologists.DBrain cells work to actively forget memories during a specific period of sleep. When we sleep our brains clear out the memories we’ve made while we’re awake, deciding what to keep and what to get rid of. Forgetting is an active process, explained the authors of the study published in the journal Science. But less is known about this process during the different periods of sleep.They found that during the rapid eye movement (REM ) sleep period — or active sleep when we are thought to dream — special nerve cells appear to actively contribute to forgetting. What are known as melanin-concentrating hormone-producing (MCH) neurons (神经元) sit in the hypothalamus (下丘脑): a part of the brain which helps with a range of functions such as sleep, appetite and emotions. Past research has suggested these cells help to control REM sleep patterns: activating the MCH neurons increasing time spentin this period, while preventingthemreducing changes into this period.The scientists looked at MCH cells in mice, and found 52.8 percent were active during REM sleep, compared with 35 percent when the mice were awake. Study co-author Thomas Kilduff, director of the Center for Neuroscience at SRI International, told Newsweek the team was surprised to find that mice performed better on learning and memory tasks when the MCH cells were prevented. “This result suggests that activation of the MCH neurons may affect memory — that is, MCH neurons may facilitate forgetting,” Kilduff explained.When asked what motivated the study, Kilduff said, “We hope the work could deepen our understanding ofAlzheimer’s disease. Understanding the neural basis of learning and memory is a huge area of neuroscience research because of its effects on our everyday lives, as well as diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Prior to this work, no one suspected that MCH neurons had anything to do with forgetting,” said Kilduff.12. What can we infer from paragraph 1?A. Forgetting is a passive process.B. The forgetting process is known to us.C. Some memories are forgotten while we are awake.D. Certain memories are removed while we are asleep.13. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. REM sleep patterns.B. Past researches.C. MCH neurons.D. A range of functions.14. Why did Kilduff’s team conduct the research?A. To publish the study in the journal Science.B. To know more about Alzheimer’s disease.C. To contribute to human’s forgetting.D. To explore our everyday lives.15. What can we know about MCH?A. MCH cells takes control of REM sleep patterns .B. MCH neurons may disturb memory consolidation.C. MCH neurons have nothing to do with forgetting.D. MCH cells help mice performing better on learning.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Thinking our life is good enough doesn’t come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are，orwhen things are going well，we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made，it can really poison our wellbeing. Many people regret something they can no longer change，which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone，so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life，we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others，but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals，you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay pr esent and focus on the task you’re undertaking at the moment. Don’t let the life pass you by because you’re always on the go and distracted by ambition.Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural. 31．How can we live with contentment?A．To change our lifestyle.B．To have a motivation in life.C．To give less attention to what we are grateful for.D．To realize the difference between needs and desires.32．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A．Make wise decisions. B．Know the present situation.C．Let go of regrets. D．Remember the past.33．The underlined word “elide” in Paragraph 5 probably means “”．A．enjoy B．changeC．create D．neglect34．What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?A．Make time for simple pleasures. B．Learn from successful people. C．Focus on your future goals. D．Create chance to learn more.A Samoan airline says that it is the world’s first carrier to charge passengers by their weight. Samoa Air, which opened in 2012, asks passengers to give their personal weight during booking, which is then charged according to the length of a flight. The customers will also be weighed just before they board the plane."It is believed that all people throughout the world are the same size," Samoa Air CEO Chris Langton said. "Airplanes always run on weight, not seats.""There is no doubt in my mind that this is the concept of the future. This is the fairest way of your travelling with your family or yourself."Though the airline introduced the plan last November, it caught people's attention last week when the carrier began international flights to neighboring American Samoa.Almost at the same time, a Norwegian economist, Bharat Bhatta, published a report suggesting that airlines should charge obese passengers more.The Pacific Islands contain some of the world’s most common countries for obesity, many ranking in the top 10, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Samoa is ranked number four, with 59.6 percent of the population considered obese, said the most recent WHO report.According to Samoa Air's latest schedule, the airline charges up to $0.57 per kg for flights in Samoa and $1.03 per kg for its only international flight to American Samoa, around 250 miles.Children under 12 are charged 75 percent of the adult rate, with fares also based on weight. Any overweight baggage is calculated at the same rate as the passenger's personal weight.The plan could actually prove cheaper in some cases, such as for families travelling with small children, and Langton said customer reaction has mainly been "amazingly positive".The idea of charging passengers by weight has been hotly discussed before, and in the US some airlines require those who do not fit into a seat comfortably to buy a second seat.35．What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Airlines should charge passengers by flight length.B．All people throughout the world are the same size.C．It is unfair to weigh passengers at the airport.D．Airplanes always run on weight, not seats.36．In Bharat Bhatta’s eyes, Samoa Air's plan might be _______.A．funny B．acceptableC．strange D．disappointing37．A 100 kg adult flying to American Samoa would be charged _______. A．$57B．$75C．$103D．$12538．What does the text mainly tell us?A．59.6% of Samoans are considered obese.B．Samoa Air introduces pay-by-weight pricing.C．Airlines should charge obese passengers more.D．Baggage must be calculated as passengers’ weight.Most painters discover a style of painting that is fit for them and stick to that, especially if people admire their pictures. But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting. He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.Some of Picasso's paintings are rich, soft colored and beautiful. Others are ugly and cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that?” A nd we begin to look under the surface of the things we see.Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the eyes see. At the age of 90,he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world.”39．The ugly cruel and strange paintings by Picasso _______.A．make us try to notice something hidden in the thingsB．allow us to ask questions about themC．force us to question anything we seeD．cause us to think what Picasso saw was different from what we see 40．The underlined sentence “Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces” means _____.A．sometimes he tore his pictures into piecesB．he broke something he was painting and threw them awayC．sometimes he showed some broken pictures to othersD．things in some of his pictures seem to be in disorder41．Why have people called Picasso “the youngest painter in the world?”A．Because he observed things with the eye and the mind.B．Because he looked young when he was old.C．Because he never stopped painting he was old.D．Because he never gave up looking for something new.Australian cities can keep their native wildlife — but only if they can kick their habit of urban sprawl (扩展). That’s the finding of a new study by leading Australian environmental researchers Jessica Sushinsky, Professor Hugh Possingham and Dr. Richard Fuller of The University of Queensland.“While urban development usually reduces the number of birds in a city, building more compact (紧凑的) cities and avoiding urban sprawl can slow these reductions gr eatly,” says lead author Jessica Sushinsky. “Compact housing development leaves birds’ homes untouched, leading to fewer losses of birds.”The researchers surveyed native and wild birds in Brisbane’s urban areas, including living and industrial areas, public parks and gardens, major roadways and airports. They then used statistical modeling to find out what will happen to the birds as the city grows. The first setting was compact growth — where multiple homes are built on land that previously had only one house. The second setting was sprawling growth — a familiar pattern where homes are built here and there beyond the city’s current boundaries.The team’s forecasts showed that a much greater diversity of species waslost over 20 years in the sprawling setting compared to the more compact setting. “Urban sprawl resulted in the disappearance of many urban-sensitive birds —birds that only live in areas where there is native vegetation (植被), such as parklands and woodlands,” Ms. Sushinsky says.“On the other ha nd, we found the city with the compact development attracted more birds because it kept more of its parks and green areas.”Now the Queensland Government has adopted the more compact urban growth strategy, which, Dr. Richard Fuller says, is good news for A ustralia’s native birds. These birds are environmental specialists — they need a particular environment to do well. “While compact development means smaller backyards, it can also make our entire cities more biodiverse,” according to Dr. Fuller. “The study shows that we should hold on to our green spaces instead of clearing them for sprawling development.”This is the first time science has modeled the effects of different urban growth strategies on birds, the researchers say. “Statistical models like these are important because they help us to understand the ecological consequences of a particular decision,” says Dr Fuller.42．Why is compact urban growth better than the sprawling strategy?A．It makes the cities more beautiful.B．It gives people larger backyards. C．It is money-saving.D．It is bird-friendly.43．Dr Richard Fuller thinks the Queensland Government’s action ______. A．is really brave B．is worth praisingC．has an uncertain future D．should be performed nationwide 44．What can we learn about the study from the passage?A．It is based on the statistics in the past.B．It is strongly against urban development.C．It criticizes the city environment in Brisbane.D．It suggests leaving more green spaces for birds.45．Where does the passage probably come from?A．A news report.B．A travel guide.C．A health magazine.D．A history book.四、七选五Choosing a college major is one of the most important choices you can make about your education and future career.46．What you study in school often determines what career opportunities you will have when you graduate.There are a number of steps you can take before making a final decision.47．If you enjoy marine life, for instance, you should consider a marine biology major. If you love star-gazing, consider becoming an astronomer.Next, consider the academic subjects in which you excel(优秀). If you’re not strong in math you might be better off not choosing engineering. If you are good at English you might choose to become an author or a journalist.48．.Once you’ve established a list of potential career fields, research them further to determine which college majors are most proper. Then you can get an idea for what courses you’ll need to take. 49．.Choosing a college major you will enjoy is important. You might find college life to be less stressful if you enjoy your classes.50．. Perhaps most importantly, choosing the correct major may improve your overall happiness and quality of life.A．Your teacher is there to help with just this sort of dilemma.B．If you struggle with these steps, consider looking for outside help.C．It may even be more important than where you attend college.D．Your future career choices may rely heavily on what you study in college.E.You might also avoid the unpleasantness that comes with changing your major.pare the list of your interests with the list of your talents and see which fields overlap (交叉).G.Begin by making a list of your personal interests and careers which correspond with them.五、用单词的适当形式完成短文Long time ago, a boy 51．(name) Bob met a new friend in QQ, she is Larry.

University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary:“ My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reord his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first break down and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to(沉迷于) alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.39．How many novels written by Fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage ?A．5 B．6 C．7 D．8 40．Which of the following is the correct order to des cribe Fitzgerald’s lifeaccording to the passage?a.

In a little over a week, it made 2.8 billion yuan in the domestic market alone. The film’s popularity and success has come as a surprise to many reviewers especially since there hasn’t been that much success for Chinese-produced science fiction in the past. Many agree that this film will change the embarrassing situation and bring in a new age for Chinese science fiction.As a genre (类型), Chinese science fiction has lagged behind general fiction in both the film and publishing industries. Even Liu Cixin’s (the author w ho wrote the short story on which The Wandering Earth is based) The Three Body Problem — which is currently quite popular —didn’t have many readers until it was translated into English and won the Hugo Award (雨果奖) in 2015. Personally, I haven’t read much of any genre written in Chinese, but I do notice that there aren’t many separate sections of the bookstore dedicated to science fiction. I cannot speak for everyone, but some people seem to have misunderstandings regarding the genre.My parents were the type who tried to steer me in the direction of non-fiction and the classics. They believed that science fiction and fantasy were “unrealistic nonsense” and would “rot my brain.” Actually, great science fiction writers do their research. More often than not, one can learn a great deal about science and its possible development from reading science fiction. Sure, some of the concepts may be confusing or technical in nature, but that is also part of the appeal. Things like the internet, electric cars and tablet computers were first theorized (建立理论) in science fiction before they were invented. The author simply uses a combination of science and their imagination to create worlds different from the Earth of today, from which we can get bits and pieces that can be turned into a reality.The world is changing. There may very well be a time when Earth is no longer able to sustain the entire population. We could be living on Mars or in giant spaceships; perhaps we will be forced to move Earth to a new solar system just like The Wandering Earth. Each of these scenarios (设想) has appeared in science fiction multiple times. If we are to be prepared for what is to come, we can look into modern science fiction for a window into the future. 43．According to the article, which of the following statements about The Wandering Earth is NOT true?A．Critics did not expect too much of the film before its release.B．It is the first time that Chinese science fiction has achieved success in the film industry. C．The film was adapted from a short story in Liu Cixin’s The Three Body Problem.D．In the future we might be faced with similar crises to the one described in the movie. 44．We can learn from the article that the author ______.A．was not allowed to read science fiction by his parentsB．has never read Chinese science fictionC．has little interest in science fictionD．has not been prepared for the future development of science and technology 45．Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ______.A．people’s misunderstandings about science fictionB．real technologies inspired by science fictionC．the practical significance of science fictionD．imaginary worlds created by science fiction writersNowadays, we live in a strict and judgmental world where people are quick to pointout the faults of others and yet seem to ignore their own ones. Some misguided souls believe they have a moral duty to help you be a better person telling you what a failure you really are.If you’re the one placing criticism upon others, please stop. Make a conscious decisio n, rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes, and you can offer helpful suggestions. If I’m painting a living room and making a mess in doing so, I’d have any husband say to me, “This is a tough job. Can I offer a sugg estion that might make it easier for you?” rather than have him point out what a careless painter I am.If you’re on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you’re doing, the natur al response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. It diffuses a potentially explosive situation. It’s important to keep calm and listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. There is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Could I have done better, and been more thoughtful? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? Is there any truth in what the other person says? If so, how can I improve?In any event, one should remember the saying, “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning(指责) and you will not be condemned.” One can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact his or her relationship with the other party. Let it go and that will be “OK”.46．According to the author, today’s people_____.A．ignore the mistakes of othersB．focus on how to handle mistakesC．like to point out the mistakes of othersD．have a moral duty to point out others’ faults47．In Paragraph 2, the author uses the example to show_____.A．praise is more important than criticismB．it’s hard to avoid making mistakesC．we ought to accept others’ criticismD．pointing out a fault needs a skill48．What is the proper response to criticism in the a uthor’s opinion?A．Paying no attention to itB．Learning something from it.C．Making excuses for your mistakes.D．Defending and attacking sometimes .49．Which of the following best explains “diffuses” underlined in Paragraph 3?A．spreads B．improvesC．reduces D．conveys50．Which would be the best title for this passage?A．Is criticism really necessary?B．What can you learn from criticism?C．What’s the best way to voice criticism?D．How to criticize and reply to criticism?四、七选五In today's Ireland, it seems hard to imagine the grim(令人沮丧的) days of the 19th century when so many of the population starved, or that, in those days, many poor people had no clue how to prepare any food other than boil a potato. 51．Tourism has made a vast difference to the standards of cooking in Ireland. Until recently there was hardly any tradition of eating out in many districts, except perhaps on very few occasions at a local hotel. Patterns of diet were old-styled, based firmly on 'meat and two vegetables' (somewhat overcooked), potatoes (of course) and large quantities of dairy produce. 52．Tourist demands for predictable, inexpensive fast-food are met, as everywhere, with hamburgers and pizzas - a better bet being fish and chips. But more sophisticated tastes have introduced whole foods and vegetarian restaurants (almost unheard of before), and a vast number of new restaurants, often French in style, have opened in the main tourist centres. Food 'events' such as Kinsale's Gourmet festival or Galway's Oyster Festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food.Whatever Irish cooking lacks in finesse（精细）, it nearly always makes up for in plenty, and ingredients(成分) are of a high quality. 53．. One of its great specialities is soda bread. It is made with buttermilk and is served fresh and warm with every meal. Recently there has been a return to simple Irish foods such as stews（炖菜）and potato dishes.54．A 'traditional Irish breakfast' is a plateful of bacon and eggs with soda and potato breads. Accommodation rates are nearly always quoted(报价) with a full breakfast included. 55．A．So you might as well eat enough to keep you going all day and get your money's worth! B．Home-grown produce includes rich dairy foods, beef, lamb and pork, and a great variety ofseafood.C．Eating out at weekends is traditional in most parts of Ireland.D．Now things are very different.E.Food produce is fresher.F.One of the best-value meals in Ireland is breakfast.G.Nowadays, it is quite possible to eat both well and heartily all over the island.五、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

I started my 60s as a bodybuilderand now I'm beginning my 70s as a writer,” she said. “People usually limit themselves by age, and it's discouraging. With age, I remain young at heart.”Dr Susan started bodybuilding at an age when most are considering retirement though she was an athlete from an early age. As a child in Venezuela, she took to gymnastics and later graduated with a physical education degree.Then she obtained a master's degree in education and later a Ph. D. in Adult Personal Development. She taught at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for 16 years, while raising two daughters.“I started bodybuilding when I met Steve Pfiester, a gym guy who practiced yoga.

'' Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel andlash out at us.The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (新型冠状病毒肺炎, NCP) in China and some other countries at the beginning of this year is an example. According to Xinhua News Agency, the new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host (中间宿主). It's believed that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said, ''This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale, human population density, wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病). ''In ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe (敬畏). For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings.However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify (改变) plants, capture some wild and rare animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance. For example, cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build up in the atmosphere and it contributes to global warming.Although we don't know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak, Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it's time for people to ''reflect on our relationship with our planet'' and ''reconnect with this world and everything that we've been given''. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, ''Nature is not the place to visit. It's our home. ''8. What does the phrase ''lash out at'' in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. punishB. controlC. testD. challenge9. What lesson did Daszak think human beings should learn from the NCP outbreak?A. Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals.B. It's impossible to prevent new pandemics globally.C. We should stop the wildlife trade around the world.D. Humans should live peacefully with nature.10. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?A. How human beings become their own masters.B. How human activities cause global warming.C. How human beings break the balance of nature.D. How humans use technology to improve their lives.11. What is the author's purpose in writing this article?A. To reflect on the NCP outbreak.B. To explain what led to the NCP outbreak.C. To describe experts' predictions on new pandemics.D. To compare ancient and modern attitudes toward nature.DNaomi Cooke was walking with a friend and their dogs through her local park in Burnside, on Tuesday when she heard someone shout to watch out. Cooke turned and hardly had time to react before a flying disc hit her in the face with a "big bang”, leaving her right cheek swollen almost to the size of a golfball.Two men playing disc golf at the course in Jellie Park were about 20 metres fromthe pairwhen one of them threw the disc hard, aiming for a nearby goal.After being hit Cooke immediately went to the emergency department, where two CT scans on her face and cheek found she had escaped any broken bones. "I'm lucky it didn't hit my eye because I think I would have lost it." Cooke said.Cooke often walks her dog at the park and said it was always busy with people playing disc golf, but it was not until after Tuesday that she became concerned about public safety there.There were no signs about the disc golf course in the park, she said, and the area is shared with children and people walking their dogs.“If it had hit one of the kids in the head, it could have killed them.” Cooke did not think she was the only person who had been hit before, and said there would be others who share her concerns.Cooke planned to go to the council, saying it needed to realise how dangerous it was for the space to be shared by everyone and to provide disc golfers with a space where they can play safely. "There should be rules about how it's done, making it safe for everyone.”12. What happened to Cooke on Tuesday?A. She was struck by a golf ball.B. She was hit by a flying disc.C. She was beaten by two men.D. She was frightened by a mad dog.13. What do the underlined words "the pair" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Cooke and her friend.B. Cooke and her dog.C. The two disc golfers.D. The two CT scans.14. How did Cooke feel about people playing disc golf in the park?A. Acceptable.B. Shocked.C. Angry.D. Worried.15. Why did Cooke plan to go to the council?A. To get the two men in trouble.B. To call for a ban on disc golf.C. To ask for personal protection.D. To call for safer places for disc golf.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
