三、阅读理解（每题2分,满分24分）
A
Sports can help you keep fit and close to nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should realize that sport you choose might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition. This causes major(主要的) environmental changes. For example, in the dry places of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for (为…承担责任) serious water shortage （短缺）in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment(设备) except a good pair of shoes, and you don't have to worry about resources（资源） and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also help you stay healthy. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep thin.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener than by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms." They are better replacements（替代） for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.

Today is the date of that afternoon in April a year ago when I first saw the strange and attractive doll in the window of Abe Sheftel's toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street. It is just around the corner from my office. The plate（牌子） on the door reads: Dr Samuel Amory. I remember just how it was that day: the first sign of spring floated（飘荡） across the East River, mixing with the soft-coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighbourhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's, I saw the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a small niece (侄女) of mine in Cleveland. I was in the habit of sending small gifts to her. So I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable, and looked at the collection of unattractive objects - a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed envelopes, and advertisements for soft drinks. And then my eyes finally came to rest upon the doll stored away in one comer, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, because of the shadows（阴影） and the dust through which I was looking, but I was sure that I was deeply impressed as though（好像） I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.
5. What impressed the writer when he passed by Shefiel's?
A. The doll's unusual face.
B. The collection of toys.
C. A stranger he met at the store.
D. The beauty and size of the doll.
6. Why does the writer mention his niece?
A. Because she likes dolls.
B. Because the doll looks like her.
C. Because he was looking for a gift for her.
D. Because she lives near Sheftel's.
7. Why did the writer go past Sheftel's?
A. Because he wanted to buy the doll.
B. Because he was looking for a gift for his niece.
C. Because he was going to see his niece.
D. Because he was on his way to work.
8. The story takes place in the_______.
A. early summer
B. early spring
C. mid-summer
D. late spring .
C
The other day I came across a few local musicians and happened to hear them talking:
"I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can't even understand a bit of music."
"I'm never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us."
But one younger musician said, "There are a few clubs that book my band (乐队) a few nights a month, and I'm trying to find other places to play. I'm also looking forward to booking a few summer festivals this year."
It's said that you are the average (平均) of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes（态度） are important. Whether they're positive or negative (消极的), they're rubbing off on you. If you're always around people who complain about lack（缺乏） of work and about other musicians or blame（责怪） others, and you play the role of a victim, it's possible that you will start to as well. So it's time to take a look at the people you call "friends", as what kind of friends you have decides what kind of life you are going to live.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you often go out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don't become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it and learn from them. Ask if they will help you get the work you're looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
9. The musicians' words at the beginning are written mainly to show_______.
A. the musicians live a poor life
B. people have poor taste in music
C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing
D. young people have greater chances of succeeding
10. The underlined sentence "they'll rubbing off on you" in Paragraph 6. means_______.
A. they'll push you ahead
B. they'll have an influence on you
C. they'll cover your feelings
D. they'll help you succeed
11. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can_______.
A. improve a lot in making more friends
B. plan the time with your friends properly
C. develop a better relationship with your friends
D. come to the right way of making friends
12. Which ofthe following would be the best title for this passage?
A. You are who your friends are.
B. How to make friendship long.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D. Friends are the most important in one's success.

六、阅读表达（满分6分)
William Shakespeare died on April 23rd, 1616. This year's 400th anniversary of his death is not
just a chance to remember one of the greatest writers of all time. It is a moment to celebrate his
ongoing influence. Just as Ben Jonson, another great English writer of his times, said, "he is not of
an age, but for all time."
People like Shakespeare's plays because the characters show real human feelings. Romeo and
Juliet, who are young lovers, don't quite know how to get ahead with their lives. They disagree with
their parents. Their story has a sad ending. When we take the characters out of his period, they
really speak to almost any time and place.
The language of Shakespeare is alive and well in modern, everyday English. Even if an English-
speaker knows nothing about Shakespeare, they will surely know some sayings that come from his
plays. When we have problems making up our mind, we say "to be or not to be, that is the question"(Hamlet). When a friend eats all the food in the house, we say he's "eating me out of house
and home"(Henry Ⅳ)
As Shakespeare himself put it in his comedy As You Like It, "all the world's a stage." More than
400 years later, stages around the world still show this plays. Through his works, Shakespeare lives
on. Perhaps we will still be attracted by his works 400 years from now.
1. How long has William Shakespeare been dead?（1分）
___________________________________________________________________________
2. How can Shakespeare live on in some ways? （2分）
___________________________________________________________________________
3. Would you like to read Shakespeare's works? Why or why not? （3分）
___________________________________________________________________________

He once created the music with local colour and won an award. Anita would rather be an actress than a director. She plays the lead role in the school Drama Club. She made her first appearance on screen in 2015. As I’m good at solving mysteries, I dream of being a detective to find out all the truth.
To realize our dreams, I think we should work harder. Remember, it is you who shape your life and future. (90 words)。
