His story started this past. February in the living room in Birmingham. Austin and his father, TJ Perine, were watching a program about a mother panda leaving her babies. "I told him that the babies would be homeless for aA. a churchB.a restaurantC.a poor areaD.a local shelter（1）A.B.C.D.（2）while, "TJ says. "Austin didn't know what homelessness meant, but hewas sad and wanted to know more.Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to theFirehouse Ministries, local shelter（救济中心） that provides housingand food for homeless men. As they drove by, they saw 25 homelessmen standing on the street corner. "Dad, they look sad, Austin said"Can we take them some food and make them smile? "Austin used his pocket money to buy each man a Burger King hamburger and handed the food out himself. Seeing what the burgers meant to the men, Austin returned the next week. He handed out burgers along with his catchphrase （口号）,"Don't forget to show love!"After he returned for five weeks, word of Austin's acts of kindness spread through social-media. Burger King agreed to donate（捐赠）$1, 000 a month for a year to feed the homeless. Soon, churches and shelters began inviting Austin to give out food in poor areas. Thanks to social support, now Austin and TJ can feed 800 to 2, 000 people at once.But Austin isn't just filling bellies. He's improving the lives of those people he meets.On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries, TJ and Austin talked to a man named Raymont.The respect Ausin showed touched Raymont , and Raymont told them his story.Having known his experience, TJ helped him get a job. Finally he was able to rent an apartment. All that was made possible because a little boy took time to care.Austin's actions have now become his family's calling. His grandma Audrey Perine set up the Show Love Foundation（基金会）which helps fight homelessness. TJ left his job to oversee the foundation.As for Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his message of love."It makes me feel like I'm saving the day."Austin's father took him to to see what homelessness meant.Raymont was moved when .Austin offered him a jobAustin bought him some foodAustin showed respect to himAustin listened to his story patientlyA. B. C. D.By setting up a foundation.By asking Burger King to donate.By spreading their stories through social-media. By spending time and money caring about them.16.Grandparents are respected in many human societies.But telling stories about old times and overfeedinggrandchildren seem like distinctly human traits（特征）.Are these classic grandparent behaviors really limited tohuman beings? Do any animals know their grandparentsthe way people do? For most species（物种）on Earth, theanswer is NO! "Usually, there just aren't grandparentsliving anymore when an animal is born." said Mirkka Lahdenper, a biologist at the University of Turku in Finland. Even if an animal's grandparents are still alive, most species spread out to avoid competing for resources, so the chances of running into a grandparent are small.But there are a few exceptions, primarily among mammals（哺乳动物）that live in close social groups. Canadian zoologist Anne Innis Dagg described groups of langur monkeys in India in which older females lived with their daughters and grandchildren.The grandmother langurs have a particular job: they protect the group's babies against hurt from humans, dogs and other monkeys. Some female langurs even give their own grandchildren special treatment, cleaning their fur and stepping in when they play too roughly with other young.Many whale species, too, travel with their families,including both grandmothers and grandcalves. In groupsof sperm whales, according to Dagg, old females helpbabysit the group's young while their mothers dive（潜水）for food. Orca granmothers often lead their familymembers and can live for many years after they stop reproducing. In 2015, scientists suggested that these elder orcas help their grandcalves through hard times, because they remember all the best places to find food.Female elephants rule the whole family. Calves（幼崽）are typically born into groups led by their grandmothers, who can live to around 80 years old. The femaleA.die after reproducingB.teach the young to dive for foodC.have rich experienceD.enjoy travelling with grandfathers（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.B.C.D.（3）Lahdenper found that the calves of young mothers were eight times more likely to survive if their grandmothers lived near them than if they didn't. When the calves'mothers were older and more experienced at raising babies, this beneficial "grandmother effect" disappeared even if the actual grandmothers were still around.It isn't very clear how elephant grandmothers help their inexperienced daughters,said Lahdenper . It is believed that they may help nurse their grandcalves. But Lahdenper thinks that the more likely advantage is the wisdom a grandmother elephant has got during her long lifetime.And what about grandfathers? Studies of humans in recent years have shown that a living grandfather can improve a person's mental health and well-being, said Lahdenera.But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Male animals seldom socialize with their own children, let alone grandchildren. "Males are usually focusing on producing their own children and aren't providing so much care, " Lahdenper said.From Paragraph 3, we know that orca grandmothers .The examples of monkeys, whales and elephants show that .the "grandmother effect" lasts long in the animal worldgrandmothers shoulder great responsibilities in their familiesanimal grandfathers can improve grandcalves' mental healthmost species treat their grandparents like human beings doWhich of the following would be the best title for the passage?Animal grandparents are like human grandparentsAnimal grandmas are born group leadersAre animal grandmas given enough respect?Do any animals know their grandparents?17.Over the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics （ STEM ） related classes in primary, middle and high school education in the U. S. The reason for this direction is well founded: research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behind their international peers in all of these subject cation officials, teachers and parents all felt that the situation needed to be changed,and quickly. However, in the rush to play catch-up in STEM-related areas, there's one important aspect that is being neglected （忽略）: the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.It's long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high school level helps students improve in many areas, such as self-confidence, self-expression, communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree that all of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the same parents and teachers to prioritize （优先安排）study time and classroom time to a subject like drama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult for policy makers and school officials to channel funds （资金） towards classes like drama, when the skills arts subjects develop are considered 'soft skills.' When the modern world is calling out for 'hard' skills, like those needed to succeed in the teach-driven 21st century, how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smaller and smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question 'why spend time and money on drama？' is that drama education has been scientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially in communication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop students with highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally important that we train the teachers that will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is the best way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearably dry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in which the communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation. Drama improve students' public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectively present papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. It's also very important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the real STEM world, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the " soft” people skills necessary to navigate （导航） all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilled one becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate and work in teams.While the nationwide trend （趋势）to focus on playing catch-up in STEM education is reasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's important not to forget the huge effect arts, specifically drama education, have on the overall education of ourA.B.C.D.（1）A.afford B.direct C.create D.raise（2）A.B.C.D.（3）A.B.C.D.（4）children. The question parents, educators, and policy makes should be asking themselves is not 'can we afford to support arts education in schools？' but rather 'can we afford not to？'Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes?Because the world has moved into a teach-driven century.Because STEM classes have long been neglected in America.Because education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.Because US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.The word "channel ” in Paragraph 2 probably mean " "The third paragraph is mainly about .the benefits of drama educationthe importance of STEM learningthe abilities needed for STEM learningthe reasons to improve drama educationThe writer probably agree that .drama is more important than STEM classesdrama education has been the nationwide trendthe result of neglecting drama education is hard to bearAmerican students have made progress in playing catch-up四、任务型阅读（共10分，每题2分）18.On Sundays I took part in Tomato Sauce Day of my friend Deb's family. I amthankful for my beautiful friend to share this family milestone（里程碑）event.Nine family members, myself and a few friends, took part in the day. Sunday was a special day because it was the last time that Tomato Sauce Day event would be carried out at Grandma's home. Tomato Sauce Day is going to be different next year in terms of the surrounds （环境）， however, I have a feeling that all else will remain unchanged.Grandma passed away 5 years ago, and Deb and her uncle bought the property （地产）. Plans are in progress to begin building two new homes on the same place.I listened to the family discussing the activities of the day, past sauce days and memories. A love of the tradition of the day and happy memories of sharing the day with family members who have passed away were recounted. The value of spending（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）time together as a family was obvious.The basic process and recipe （菜谱）for the sauce made by Deb's family remains the same way as it is still done in Grandma's village today:●The event takes place once a year.● Sauce is made by the family, for the family for the year ahead.●The sauce is made with just salt added to the tomatoes. This allows the family to use it throughout the year in various dishes as the base ingredient（食材）. They add their own preferred ingredients in the cooking process.●The women prepare and make the sauce, the men are not involved. The women start the day with a visit to the community garden to collect the tomatoes and then they began the preparation. Once the sauce is cooking, it is lunch time and time for the family to catch up. Tomato Sauce Day is relived by the family all over the year as they open each bottle of red tomato goodness. I am looking forward to trying my sauce tonight. I feel like I need to make home-made pasta to eat it!What event did the writer take part in on Sunday?Where was the event carried out this year?How do the family use the sauce?What do the women do to start the day?Why is the event a family milestone event?五、书面表达（共10分）19.假如你是李华，正在美国格林中学做交换生。

"Males are usually focusing on producing their own children and aren't providing so much care, " Lahdenper said.From Paragraph 3, we know that orca grandmothers .The examples of monkeys, whales and elephants show that .the "grandmother effect" lasts long in the animal worldgrandmothers shoulder great responsibilities in their familiesanimal grandfathers can improve grandcalves' mental healthmost species treat their grandparents like human beings doWhich of the following would be the best title for the passage?Animal grandparents are like human grandparentsAnimal grandmas are born group leadersAre animal grandmas given enough respect?Do any animals know their grandparents?17.Over the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics （ STEM ） related classes in primary, middle and high school education in the U. S. The reason for this direction is well founded: research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behind their international peers in all of these subject cation officials, teachers and parents all felt that the situation needed to be changed,and quickly. However, in the rush to play catch-up in STEM-related areas, there's one important aspect that is being neglected （忽略）: the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.It's long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high school level helps students improve in many areas, such as self-confidence, self-expression, communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree that all of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the same parents and teachers to prioritize （优先安排）study time and classroom time to a subject like drama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult for policy makers and school officials to channel funds （资金） towards classes like drama, when the skills arts subjects develop are considered 'soft skills.' When the modern world is calling out for 'hard' skills, like those needed to succeed in the teach-driven 21st century, how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smaller and smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question 'why spend time and money on drama？' is that drama education has been scientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially in communication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop students with highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally important that we train the teachers that will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is the best way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearably dry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in which the communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation. Drama improve students' public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectively present papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. It's also very important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the real STEM world, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the " soft” people skills necessary to navigate （导航） all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilled one becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate and work in teams.While the nationwide trend （趋势）to focus on playing catch-up in STEM education is reasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's important not to forget the huge effect arts, specifically drama education, have on the overall education of ourA.B.C.D.（1）A.afford B.direct C.create D.raise（2）A.B.C.D.（3）A.B.C.D.（4）children. The question parents, educators, and policy makes should be asking themselves is not 'can we afford to support arts education in schools？' but rather 'can we afford not to？'Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes?Because the world has moved into a teach-driven century.Because STEM classes have long been neglected in America.Because education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.Because US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.The word "channel ” in Paragraph 2 probably mean " "The third paragraph is mainly about .the benefits of drama educationthe importance of STEM learningthe abilities needed for STEM learningthe reasons to improve drama educationThe writer probably agree that .drama is more important than STEM classesdrama education has been the nationwide trendthe result of neglecting drama education is hard to bearAmerican students have made progress in playing catch-up四、任务型阅读（共10分，每题2分）18.On Sundays I took part in Tomato Sauce Day of my friend Deb's family. I amthankful for my beautiful friend to share this family milestone（里程碑）event.Nine family members, myself and a few friends, took part in the day. Sunday was a special day because it was the last time that Tomato Sauce Day event would be carried out at Grandma's home. Tomato Sauce Day is going to be different next year in terms of the surrounds （环境）， however, I have a feeling that all else will remain unchanged.Grandma passed away 5 years ago, and Deb and her uncle bought the property （地产）. Plans are in progress to begin building two new homes on the same place.I listened to the family discussing the activities of the day, past sauce days and memories. A love of the tradition of the day and happy memories of sharing the day with family members who have passed away were recounted. The value of spending（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）time together as a family was obvious.The basic process and recipe （菜谱）for the sauce made by Deb's family remains the same way as it is still done in Grandma's village today:●The event takes place once a year.● Sauce is made by the family, for the family for the year ahead.●The sauce is made with just salt added to the tomatoes. This allows the family to use it throughout the year in various dishes as the base ingredient（食材）. They add their own preferred ingredients in the cooking process.●The women prepare and make the sauce, the men are not involved. The women start the day with a visit to the community garden to collect the tomatoes and then they began the preparation. Once the sauce is cooking, it is lunch time and time for the family to catch up. Tomato Sauce Day is relived by the family all over the year as they open each bottle of red tomato goodness. I am looking forward to trying my sauce tonight. I feel like I need to make home-made pasta to eat it!What event did the writer take part in on Sunday?Where was the event carried out this year?How do the family use the sauce?What do the women do to start the day?Why is the event a family milestone event?五、书面表达（共10分）19.假如你是李华，正在美国格林中学做交换生。

A Dog's Way Home B This kid fights hunger and homelessness Austin Perine is only four years old. His story started this past February in the living room in Birmingham. Austin and his father, TJ Perine, were watching a program about a mother panda leaving her babies. “I told him that the babies would be homeless for a while,” TJ says. “Austin didn't know what homelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted to know more.”Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries, a local shelter (救济中心) that provides housing and food for homeless men.As they drove by, they saw 25 homeless men standing on the street corner. “Dad, they look sad,” Austin said. “Can we take them some food and make them smile?”Austin used his pocket money to buy each man a Burger King hamburger and handed the food out himself. Seeing what the burgers meant to the men, Austin returned the next week. He handed out burgers along with his catchphrase (口号), “Don't forget to show love!”After he returned for five weeks, word of Austin's acts of kindness spread through social-media. Burger King agreed to donate (捐赠) $1,000 a month for a year to feed the homeless. Soon, churches and shelters began inviting Austin to give out food in poor areas. Thanks to social support, now Austin and TJ can feed 800 to 2,000 people at once. But Austin isn't just filling bellies. He's improving the lives of those people he meets. On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries, TJ and Austin talked to a man named Raymont. The respect Austin showed touched Raymont, and Raymont told them his story. Having known his experience, TJ helped him get a job. Finally he was able to rent an apartment. All that was made possible because a little boy took time to care. Austin's actions have now become his family's calling. His grandma Audrey Perine set up the Show Love Foundation (基金会) which helps fight homelessness. TJ left his job to oversee the foundation. It makes me feel like I'm saving the As for Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his message of love. “day.”24. Austin's father took him to to see what homelessness meant.

By spending time and money caring about them. C Grandparents are respected in many human societies.But telling stories about old times and overfeeding grandchildren seem like distinctly human traits (特征).Are these classic grandparent behaviors really limited to human beings? Do any animals know their grandparents the way people do? For most species (物种) on Earth,the answer is NO! “Usually, there just aren't grandparents living anymore when an animal is born,” , a biologist at the University of Turku in Finland. Even if an said Mirkka Lahdenperä, a biologist at the University of Turku in Finland. Even if an animal's grandparents are still alive, most species spread out to avoid competing for resources, so the chances of running into a grandparent are small. But there are a few exceptions, primarily among mammals (哺乳动物) that live in close social groups. Canadian zoologist Anne Innis Dagg described groups of langur monkeys in India in which older females lived with their daughters and grandchildren. The grandmother langurs have a particular job: they protect the group's babies against hurt from humans, dogs and other monkeys. Some female langurs even give their own grandchildren special treatment, cleaning their fur and stepping in when they play too roughly with other young. Many whale species, too, travel with their families,including both grandmothers and grandcalves. In groups of sperm whales, according to Dagg, old females help babysit the group's young while their mothers dive (潜水) for food. Orca grandmothers often lead their family members and can live for many years after they stop reproducing. In 2015, scientists suggested that these elder orcas help their grandcalves through hard times, because they remember all the best places to find food. Female elephants rule the whole family. Calves (幼崽) are typically born into groups led by their grandmothers, who can live to around 80 years old. The female elephants form close relationships, said Lahdenperä, and raise their young to survive if their together. Lahdenperä found that the calves of young mothers were eight times more likely grandmothers lived near them than if they didn't. When the calves' mothers were older and more experienced at raising babies, this beneficial “grandmother effect” disappeared even if the actual grandmothers were still around. . It is believed that It isn't very clear how elephant grandmothers help their inexperienced daughters, said Lahdenperä thinks that the more likely advantage is the wisdom a grandmother they may help nurse their grandcalves. But Lahdenperäelephant has got during her long lifetime. And what about grandfathers? Studies of humans in recent years have shown that a living grandfather can improve a . But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Male person's mental health and well⁃being, said Lahdenperä. But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Male animals seldom socialize with their own children, let alone grandchildren. “Males are usually focusing on producingtheir own children and aren't providing so much care,” Lahdenperä said.27. From Paragraph 3, we know that orca grandmothers _______. A. die after reproducing B. teach the young to dive for food C. have rich experience D. enjoy travelling with grandfathers 28. The examples of monkeys, whales and elephants show that __________. A. the “grandmother effect” lasts long in the animal worldB. grandmothers shoulder great responsibilities in their families C. animal grandfathers can improve grandcalves' mental health D. most species treat their grandparents like human beings do 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Animal grandparents are like human grandparents B. Animal grandmas are born group leaders C. Are animal grandmas given enough respect? D. Do any animals know their grandparents?

The reason for this direction Mathematics (STEM) related classes in primary, middle and high school education in the U S.

singing hasn't always loved me．Iwould open my mouth with a beautiful song in my head，fully expectingmy voice to follow suit ﹣only to get an awful tone （音调）in return．Still，without a second thought，I continued to try to sing whenever possible．On car journeys，when my now twentysomething sons weresmall，they would make a great play （hands over their ears，shouting‘ No，Mum，stop!'）of going through punishment as I sang along to the radio．Never in a hundred years would I have thought about joining a choir．And when I did finallybecome a member of my first choir 15years ago，something fantastic happened to my life．From thefirst time I experienced my voice as something special but also comfortable，in harmony （和谐）withthe other singers，I lost my heart to singing．It was like falling in love．And everyone in the choir hadthe same shining smiles and bright eyes ﹣singing made them feel happy，too．Although it is singing itself that makes me happy，it is also how a choir works together．There issomething magical about breathing together．The voice of everyone singing quietly together ispowerful and excitingly mysterious （神秘地），almost spiritual．And there's the unexpected friendship from the activities we do as a choir：raisingmoney forgood causes and taking our singing sometimes to places where people are forgotten and sad．I am now a member of six choirs and，if I can，sing every day of the week．I stand in front ofseveral hundred people，and know that some，if not all，of each song will sound not bad at all．（1）What did the writer's sons think of her singing when they were

unexpected friendship？A．Having car journeys with her sons．B．Helping others by singing in choirs．C．Having shining smiles and bright eyes．D．Singing in front of hundreds of people．16．（6分）Parents and children often face the challenges of money．Common topics include setting thepocket money，learning to save，and deciding on expensive purchases．The goal of most parents is toteach their kids how to manage money wisely．The goal of most kids is getting money to spend．Howcan families balance these goals？"All parents hope they'll raise a money﹣savvy kid，who'll grow up to be an adultwise in theirmoney use．" says financial （金融地）planner Peg Eddy．The key is letting kids learn by having alittle money of their own．The Tidier family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earnsome．Their son，Ryan，17，has been helping with their garden since he was 8．Now he has beenable to save ￥7，800．Ryan has come to see the value in making his own money even when otherkids are given money by their parents．Learn Now，Save LaterMoney skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult．David Brady，anotherfinancial planner，says，"Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financialfuture than their parents or grandparents．"Brady does remind kids．"They shouldn't be thinking about money all the time，" he says．However，they should understand basic rules for earning，saving and investing （投资）．That knowledge is greatly needed．Over the past years，the averagecredit card debt （债务）of Americans ages 18to 24doubled，to nearly￥3，000．Among high school students，four out of five have never taken apersonal﹣finance class．Talking About ItMany kids want to learn how to manage their money．But parentsthink only about what kidsshouldn't do．Instead，experts say，knowing how to manage money is the best way for kids to getwhat they really want．That means long﹣term planning and savingfor big expenses like college or acar．It also means thinking of others，by making donations to charity （慈善）．Giselle Lopez，17，of New York City，learned the hard way．She was over ￥2，000in debt onher first credit card．Her parents refused to pay，so Giselle got a job．Then she paid the debt offslowly herself．"Now every time I use it，I know that it comes from my own pocket，" Giselle says．"That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions．"Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money．Teaching them how to usemoney doesn't have to mean setting strict rules．When children like Ryan and Giselle have their ownmoney to consider，they can learn to set those rules themselves．（1）Brady believes that．A．parents should attend more personal﹣finance classesB．parents should teach their kids how to saveC．kids should learn how to manage moneyD．kids should follow the school rules（2）Why did the writer say Giselle Lopez "learned the hard way"？A．Because she had to pay the debt off slowly herself．B．Because she had to make donations to charity．C．Because she had difficulty finishing her job．D．Because she had too many credit cards．（3）What is the best title for the passage？A．Saving Matters!B．Parents Rule!C．Classes Work!D．Money Counts!17．（8分）Cities are taking interest in electric scooter﹣share systems as an affordable transportation to cutdown on pollution and traffic jams．The electric scooters，which weigh between 30and 40pounds，reach speeds of about 15mph．In September 2017，Santa Monica，California，became the first U．S．city to have an electric scooter﹣share service．Users find and unlock one of the more than 1，000scooters with a smartphone app．A ride costs ￥1，and then 0.15cents foreach minute of riding throughout the beach town．Bird，the startup operating the scooter﹣share，picks up the scooters everynight tothem，and places them around Santa Monica each morning ready for people's use．The company wascreated by Travis VanderZanden，who once worked in Uber and Lyft，after he realized ridesharingservices failed to help with traffic jams and air pollution．Since its September 2017beginning，Bird'ssystem has served more than 50，000riders who have taken 250，000trips ﹣more than half of which havebeen in the last month．It's since expanded （扩张）to

startupsLimeBike andSpin，have spoken of plans to provide electric scooters in cities this year．Electric scooters have also gotten the attention of Mayor Pete Buttigieg from South Bend，Indiana．The city is interested in using them as a way to improve public transportation．South Bendwas one of the first to use bike﹣share systems，which allow people to park ridesharing bikes on publicland．"We love to be early pioneers，" said Buttigieg．"If we work out the safety problem，we wouldbe open to welcoming the technology．""We need to make sure these new transportation systems are lawful and safe for users，"Constance Farrell，a spokeswoman for the city of Santa Monica told CNN．"We would like to seeelectric scooters continue to operate in the city．They are in line with our goal of multi﹣modal livingand carbon﹣light living．" According to Farrell，there have been eight accidents，including one with aserious head injury，in Santa Monica after the scooters rolled out．Users are required to have adriver's license （驾照），shouldn't ride on sidewalks or have other passengers on board．Bird has given out free helmets to some riders and tells its users to ride in bike lanes，but some users ride on sidewalks，and most U．S．streets don't havebike lanes．"The global community of cities is going to have to work this all out for scooters，"Buttigieg said．"They can move unbelievably quickly．That's exciting，and a littledangerous．"（1）Why did Travis create Bird company？A．Because he received support from millionaires and the government．B．Because many cities had electric scooter﹣share services．C．Because it is lawful and safe to use electric scooters．D．Because cities need better ridesharing services．（2）The words "are in line with" inParagragh 6probably mean ""．A．stopB．meet the need ofC．changeD．are ahead of（3）What can we learn from the passage？A．Future electric scooters will be very slow and sale．B．Electric scooters will cause fewer accidents than cars．C．More cities will try to

something to eat．I'd read the signs："Don't give money to panhandlers （乞丐）．" So I shook my head and kept walking．I wasn't prepared for a reply，but he said，"I really am homeless and I really am hungry! Youcan come with me and watch me eat!" But I kept on walking．I couldn't forget what happened to me that day for the rest of the week．I had money in mypocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying．On avery cold night，no less，I thought the worst of a fellow human being．Flying back to Anchorage，Istill couldn't help thinking of him．I was the writer of a weekly garden column （专栏）at The Anchorage Daily News．One day，out of the blue，I came up with an idea．Bean's Cafe，the soup kitchen in Anchorage，feedshundreds of hungry people every day．Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in theirgardens for Bean's？Plant a row and take it down to Bean's．Clean and simple．We didn't keep records back then，but the idea began to take off．People would call me whenthey took something in．Those who only grew flowers gave them away．Food for the spirit．In 1995 ，the Garden Writers Association of America （GWAA）held their meeting in Anchorageand alter learning of Anchorage's program，Plant a Row for Bean's became Plant a Row for theHungry．The idea was to have every member of the Garden Writers Association of America write ortalk about planting a row for the hungry．As more and more people started working with the program，many companies gave free seed tocustomers and had the logo （商标）seen in public．Garden editor Joan Jackson raised more than 30，000pounds of fruits and vegetables her firstyear，and showed the public how the program could really work．Texas fruit farms gave away food totheir local food bank alter hearing about Plant a Row．Today the program continues to grow．I am shocked that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger．If every gardener inAmerica ﹣and we're seventy million strong ﹣plants one row for the hungry，we can make a differencein the number of neighbors who don't have enough to eat．Maybe then I will stop feelingguilty （愧疚）about walking past a hungry man I could have helped．（1）Did the writer give money to the hungry man？（2）How did the writer feel alter flying back to Anchorage？（3）What did the writer try to get his readers to do？（4）What did the GWAA do for the "Plant a Row" program？（5）What is the purpose of the

After watching him on tape, I didn't think he was that good, but the owner felt we could make Lyle better by creating the right environment for him. We made the 1 .That summer at training camp, Lyle was having a hard time. He had that look in his eyes that many young players and some old players get when things aren't going 2 . One morning Lyle came into my office and he looked like he hadn't slept. Here was a huge man, with his head about as 3 as it could go. We talked, or rather, I listened. The main point was that Lyle felt his career （职业⽣涯） was over and it would be best for him and for the team if he retired （退役）. He apologized for 4 us since we had just traded for him.Lyle was always an emotional person. This is one of the reasons he was a good player.He 5 all that emotional energy with him, ready to fire out at the snap of the ball （开球）.Now he was in front of me, almost crying. I thought for a moment, realizing we had to keep that 6 going. Then I went through my reasons why he should not retire. At the end of our talk, I said, "You go out and play your very best, and let us 7 if you still have it. Personally, I think you do."1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.In January 1984. Tampa Bay Stadium.

I would open my mouth with a beautiful song in my head, fully expecting my voice to follow suit---only to get an awful tone （⾳调） in return.Still, without a second thought, I continued to try tosing whenever possible. On car journeys, when my nowtwentysomething sons were small, they would make agreat play （hands over their ears, shouting 'No, Mum,stop!'） of going through punishment as I sang along tothe radio.Never in a hundred years would I have thought about joining a choir. And when I did finally become a member of my first choir 15 years ago, something fantastic happened to my life.From the first time I experienced my voice as something special but also comfortable, in harmony （和谐） with the other singers, I lost my heart to singing. It was like falling in love.And everyone in the choir had the same shining smiles and bright eyes—singing made them feel happy, too.Although it is singing itself that makes me happy, it is also how a choir works together.There is something magical about breathing together. The voice of everyone singing quietly together is powerful and excitingly mysterious （神秘的）, almost spiritual.A.Terrible.fortable.C.Fantastic.D.Boring.（1）A.A week ago. B.Six years ago.C.Fifteen years ago.D.Twenty years ago.（2）A.B.C.D.（3）And there's the unexpected friendship from the activities we do as a choir: raising money for good causes and taking our singing sometimes to places where people are forgotten and sad.I am now a member of six choirs and, if I can, sing every day of the week. I stand in front of several hundred people, and know that some, if not all, of each song will sound not bad at all.What did the writer's sons think of her singing when they were small?When did the writer join her first choir?What brings the writer the unexpected friendship?Having car journeys with her sons.Helping others by singing in choirs.Having shining smiles and bright eyes.Singing in front of hundreds of people.16.CParents and children often face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting the pocket money, learning to save, and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals?"All parents hope they'll raise a money -savvy kid, who'll grow up to be an adult wise in their money use." says financial （⾦融的） planner Peg Eddy. The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own.The Tidler family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan, 17, has been helping with their garden since he was 8. Now he has been able to save $7,800. Ryan has come to see the value in making his own money even when other kids are given money by their parents.Learn Now, Save LaterMoney skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady, another financial planner, says, "Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents."Brady does remind kids. "They shouldn't be thinking about money all the time," he says However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing （投资）.A.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.Saving Matters! B.Parents Rule! C.Classes Work! D.Money Counts!（3）That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past years, the average credit card debt （债务） of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $3,000. Among high school students, four out of five have never taken a personal-finance class.Talking About ItMany kids want to learn how to manage their money. Butparents think only about what kids shouldn't do. Instead, expertssay, knowing how to manage money is the best way for kids to getwhat they really want. That means long-term planning and saving for big expenses like college or a car. It also means thinking of others, by making donations to charity ( 慈善).Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She was over $2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. "Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket," Giselle says. "That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions."Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn't have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves.Brady believes that .parents should attend more personal-finance classesparents should teach their kids how to savekids should learn how to manage moneykids should follow the school rulesWhy did the writer say Giselle Lopez "learned the hard way" ?Because she had to pay the debt off slowly herself.Because she had to make donations to charity.Because she had difficulty finishing her job.Because she had too many credit cards.What is the best title for the passage?17.Cities are taking interest in electric scooter-share systems as an affordable transportation tocut down on pollution and traffic jams. The electric scooters, which weigh between 30 and 40pounds, reach speeds of about 15 mph.（1）In September 2017, Santa Monica, California, became the first U.S.city to have an electric scooter-share service. Users find and unlock oneof the more than 1, 000 scooters with a smartphone app. A ride costs$1, and then 0.15 cents for each minute of riding throughout the beachtown.Bird, the startup operating the scooter-share, picks up the scootersevery night to charge （充电） them, and places them around SantaMonica each morning ready for people's use. The company was created by Travis VanderZanden, who once worked in Uber and Lyft, after he realized ridesharing services failed to help with traffic jams and air pollution. Since its September 2017 beginning, Bird's system has served more than 50, 000 riders who have taken 250, 000 trips—more than half of which have been in the last month. It's since expanded （扩张） to Venice, California , and some neighborhoods in Los Angeles and San Diego. Bird plans to expand to lots of markets by the end of 2018.Competitors, backed by millionaires, are appearing. Two bike-share startups, LimeBike and Spin, have spoken of plans to provide electric scooters in cities this year.Electric scooters have also gotten the attention of Mayor Pete Buttigieg from South Bend,Indiana. The city is interested in using them as a way to improve public transportation. South Bend was one of the first to use bike-share systems, which allow people to park ridesharing bikes on public land. "We love to be early pioneers, "said Buttigieg. "If we work out the safety problem, we would be open to welcoming the technology.”"We need to make sure these new transportation systems are lawfuland safe for users, ” Constance Farrell, a spokeswoman for the city ofSanta Monica told CNN. "We would like to see electric scooters continueto operate in the city. They are in line with our goal of multi-modal livingand carbon-light living.” According to Farrell, there have been eightaccidents, including one with a serious head injury, in Santa Monica after the scooters rolled out. Users are required to have a driver's license （驾照）, shouldn't ride on sidewalks or have other passengers on board.Bird has given out free helmets to some riders and tells its users to ride in bike lanes, but some users ride on sidewalks, and most U.S. streets don't have bike lanes. "The global community of cities is going to have to work this all out for scooters, ” Buttigieg said. "They can move unbelievably quickly. That's exciting, and a little dangerous.Why did Travis create Bird company?A.B.C.D.A.stop B.meet the need ofC.changeD.are ahead of（2）A.B.C.D.（3）A.B.C.D.（4）Because he received support from millionaires and the government.Because many cities had electric scooter-share services.Because it is lawful and safe to use electric scooters.Because cities need better ridesharing services.The words "are in line with " in Paragraph 6 probably mean " " .What can we learn from the passage?Future electric scooters will be very slow and safe.Electric scooters will cause fewer accidents than cars.More cities will try to help with electric scooters service.Future traffic problems will be solved with help of electric scooters.The passage is mainly about .the challenges of the electric scooter-share system in Americathe advantages and disadvantages of electric scooters in Americathe introduction of the electric scooter-share service in Americathe future of electric scooters in public transportation in America四、阅读与表达18.It was a cold night in Washington, D.C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a mancame to me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I'd read the signs: "Don't give money to panhandlers （乞丐）." So I shook my head and kept walking.I wasn't prepared for a reply, but he said, "I am really homeless and I am really hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!" But I kept on walking.I couldn't forget what happened to me that day for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. On a very cold night, no less, I thought the worst of a fellow human being. Flying back to Anchorage, I still couldn't help thinking of him.I was the writer of a weekly garden column （专栏）at The Anchorage Daily News. One day,out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean's Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens for Bean's? Plant a row and take it down to Bean's. Clean and simple.（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）We didn't keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. People would call me when they took something in. Those who only grew flowers gave them away. Food for the spirit.In 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America （GWAA ）held their meeting in Anchorage and after learning of Anchorage's program, Plant a Row for Bean's became Plant a Row for the Hungry. The idea was to have every member of the Garden Writers Association of America write or talk about planting a row for the hungry.As more and more people started working with the program, many companies gave free seed to customers and had the logo （商标）seen in public.Garden editor Joan Jackson raised more than 30, 000 pounds of fruits and vegetables her first year, and showed the public how the program could really work. Texas fruit farms gave away food to their local food bank after hearing about Plant a Row. Today the program continues to grow.I am shocked that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener in America and we're seventy million strong plants one row for the hungry, we can make a difference in the number of neighbors who don't have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty （愧疚）about walking past a hungry man I could have helped.Did the writer give money to the hungry man?How did the writer feel after flying back to Anchorage?What did the writer try to get his readers to do?What did the GWAA do for the "Plant a Row" program?What is the purpose of the program?五、书⾯表达（⼆选⼀）19.假如你是李华，你被邀请在学校组织的 "中英学⽣学习交流会" 上发⾔。

Every night after dinner, my mother and I would sit at the kitchen table. She would present new tests, taking her 36 from stories of amazing children she had readin newspapers and magazines.The first night she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy who knew the capitals of all the states in our country and 37 most of the European countries. A teacher also said the little boy could also pronounce the names of the foreign cities correctly.“What’s the capital of Finland?” my mother asked me, looking at the magazine story.All I knew was the capital of California. “Nairobi!” I guessed, saying the most 38 word I could think of. She checked to see if that was possibly one way to 39 “Helsinki” before showing me the answer.The tests got 40 . One night I had to look at a page from the Bible (圣经) for three minutes and then report everything I could remember. I said all I remembered. And 41 I saw my mother’s disappointed (失望的) face once again, something inside of me began to 42 . I hated the tests, the raised hopes and failed expectations. Before going to bed that night, I looked in the mirror in the bathroom and when I saw only my face looking back — and that it would always be this 43 face — I began to cry. I made loud noises like a mad animal.And then I saw what seemed to be the prodigy(奇才) side of me — because I have never seen that face before. I looked at myself in the mirror, blinking (眨眼) so I could see more 44 . The girl looking back at me was angry, strong. This girl and I were the same. I had new thoughts. I won’t let her 45 me. I won’t be what I’m not.So the following nights when my mother presented 46 tests, I performed listlessly, my head on one arm. I pretended (假装) to be bored. And I was. I started to 47 other things. Soon, she noticed I was absent-minded. We had a talk and I told her what I thought and how I felt about the tests. Then the whole evening, she seemed to be thinking.The next day, she presented me some easier tests. I found my pleasure and confidence back again, and we started to be on the way to make me a prodigy I could be. 36．A．examples B．lessons C．notes D．ideas37．A．perhaps B．even C．almost D．still38．A．surprising B．foreign C．interesting D．special 39．A．pronounce B．express C．spell D．read40．A．longer B．newer C．better D．harder41．A．before B．after C．if D．although42．A．rise B．fall C．die D．run43．A．strange B．unhappy C．ugly D．ordinary44．A．easily B．quickly C．clearly D．differently45．A．trouble B．change C．help D．teach46．A．her B．my C．our D．their47．A．put away B．worry about C．go over D．think about阅读理解（共44分）六、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
