AI like this job, in which I stay with small children and from which I get the challenges and awards. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.I then found myself a job. Looking after two little girls, i t wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to wor k extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me, I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part – time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I’ve got a full – time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. Iwish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.21．When staying with the two girls’ family, the author______ .A．got much help from her boss B．was paid for extra workC．often worked long hours D．took a day off every other week22．Why did the author leave her first job?A．She needed a rest after working extra hours.B．She decided to attend a part – time course.C．She was fed up with children.D．She found a full – time job.23．What has the author learned from her own experiences?A．One must choose the job she likes.B．Hard work makes an excellent student.C．Less successful students can still have a career.D．Qualifications are necessary for a career.BMy Left Foot (1989)Imagine being a prisoner of your own body, unable to make any movements except to move your left foot. The main character in My Left Foot，based on the real story of cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹) sufferer Christy Brown，can barely move his mouth to speak, but by controlling his left foot, he’s able to express himself as an artist and poet. For his moving performance of Brown, Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor.Shine (1996)D o you have a talent you’re afraid to share with the world? David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists,” but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father) resulted in a plete breakdown. Ten years in a mental institution didn’t weaken Helfgott’s musical gift: When he was rediscovered, he was playing concertos in a bar. Shine received seven Oscar nominations (提名), and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott.Life Is Beautiful (1997)Nothing’s more powerful than the love between a parent and a child. In this heartbreaking Italian film, a father (Roberto Benigni) makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son: trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a plicated game. He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war, and even in his final moments of life, keeps his son smiling and hopeful. Benigni won the best actor Oscar.Stand and Deliver (1988)Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher. Jaime Escalante (Edward James Olmos got Oscar nomination for best actor) is a great one. Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail, Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things, like getting good grades in the AP exam. Despite the obstacles in their lives, the classmates acplish their goals, thanks to Mr. Escalante’s support. The real Jaime Escalante, the Best Teacher in America, says that Stand and Deliver is “90% truth, 10% drama.”24. The underlined part in the passage means _________.A. The main character in My Left Foot can’t control his whole bodyB. The main character in My Left Foot is trapped by othersC. The main character in My Left Foot is a prisonerD. The main character in My Left Foot is a disabled person25. If you want to watch a movie about wars, which may be one of your choices?A. Life Is Beautiful.B. Stand and Deliver.C. Shine.D. My Left Foot.26.Which of the following is true according to the four movies’ information?A. My Left Foot was directed by Christy Brown’sB. Geoffrey Rush stayed in a mental institution for ten yearsC. Edward James Olmos received nomination for best actor OscarD. Jaime Escalante has a talent for playing the piano27. What do the four movies have in mon?A. They are all based on real stories.B. The main characters are all sick to some degree but succeed.C. The main characters all won Academy Award for Best Actor.D. They are all inspiring stories that make a difference.CIt’s roughly estimated that there are 450 million disabled people in the world. No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will bee less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others bee disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they bee. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability not their disability that count.28.The first paragraph points out that______.A. the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB. India has much more disabled people than CanadaC.there are many disabled people in the worldD. it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people29.The last word of the passage "count" most probably means_____.A. be numberedB. be includedC. be consideredD. be most important30.Which of the following statements is not true?A. About 10 percent of people in the UK are disabled.B. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.C. There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignoranceD. The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people31.It can be concluded from the passage that____.A. both physical and metal barriers are hard to break downB. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC. we should try our best to prevent disablementD. the able-bodies people will never fully understand the disabledDIf the earth's population is in growth at this rate , there will not be enough resources. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are pletely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as the earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.Sagan proposes that algae organisms(海藻有机体) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will bee cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.32.In the long run, the most difficult problem caused by population growth on the earth willprobably be the lack of ______.A. oilB. foodC. resourcesD. space33.Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be a living place because _____A. the days on Venus are long enoughB. it might be possible to change its atmosphereC. there is a good supply of water on VenusD. its atmosphere is the same as the earth's34.Algae are plants that can____.A. live in very hot temperatureB. live in very cold temperatureC. produce oxygenD. all of the above35. Man can land on Venus only when_______.A. it rains thereB. there is oxygenC. the atmosphere bees coolerD. the algae have done their work第二部分：七选五(每小题2分, 满分10分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上写出答案。

Arab travellersin India in the year 900 wrote that it was played 〝long long ago〞. Chess was probably invented inIndia, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. Thename 〝chess〞 is interesting. When one player isattacking the other’s king, he says, in English, 〝check〞. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says 〝check mate. 〞These words come from Persian. 〝Shah mat〞 means 〝the king isdead〞 .That is when the game is over,and one player has won.Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For e_ample, at one time the queen could only moveone square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would beinteresting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but itis a game for all kinds of people. You don’t have to be a champion in order toenjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. Thefirst time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Someof the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The recordwas that one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess bypost. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.56．Which of thefollowing is known to be true?A．Chess is anold Indian travelling game.B．Chess wasplayed in Japan and Europe before 1400.C．Chess is theoldest game in the world.D．Chess wasplayed in India long before 900.57．One playerhas won the game when ____.A．he attacksthe other player’s kingB．the otherplayer’s king can not move anywhereC．he says somePersian wordsD．he says 〝check〞 to the other player58．Which of thefollowing will you hear when one player has won the game? A．〝Shah mat〞 .B．〝The king isdead. 〞C．〝Check〞 .D．〝Check mate. 〞BSingapore-Another Thai worker died in his sleep last Friday, the second such mysterious death in the past three days and the tenth since thebeginning of the year. Thongchai Somebatta, 22, is said to be the youngest tohave died mysteriously this year, A total of 10 young Thaiconstruction workersin their late 20s and 30s who appeared well and healthy when they went to bedhave died since the beginning of this year.

Here two continents almost meet. The lands of Africa and Europe are on both sides of thesea. There is only a small water-way for ships to come in and go out.On the northern shore, a big rock comes straight up from the ground.It is called the Rock of Gibraltar. It has been standing there for a very longtime. Armies have fought battles to take it. Storms at sea never washed itaway. The rock of Gibraltar has not changed. But its name has changed.The Greeks took the rock a long time ago. They called it Calpe. ByA.D.711 Spain had the rock for herself. Spain used it to guard the entrance toher country.Ne_t came the Arabs with an army of 12,000 soldiers. Their leaderwas Tarik Ibn Zaid. He took his army across North Africa to the rock. There hissoldiers fought for three days and nights. At last they won the battle and tookCalpe for themselves.Tarik and his men were very happy. Tarik ordered a castle(城堡) to be built at the top of therock. It was completed in the year 742．From there he could see the beautiful land and water below. Hissoldiers guarded the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea.The rock was almost as high as a mountain. So the Arabian soldiers decided to call it the Mountain Tarik. They wanted to honour their brave leader. Now the Arabic work for a mountain is Jabal. So the place was called Jabal Tarik.In Arabic it is called by this name; but it has been changed in many other languages. The English name is now Gibralter. If you say both Arabic andEnglish words you will hear some of the same sounds.Many nations and armies have taken Gibraltar since Tarik. But its name today till honours that great Arab leader, Tarik Ibn Zaid.64．This story isabout ____.A．theMediterranean SeaB．the Rock ofGibraltarC．how the Arabsgot the rockD．a brave mancalled Tarik Ibn Zaid65．Tarik IbnZaid was ____.A．the king ofSpainB．the commanderof the Arabian army.C．a GreekgeneralD．a brave Arabiansoldier66．How didArabian army get to the rock?A．They wentacross North Africa.B．They gotthere through Europe.C．They climbedthe Alps.D．They sailedthe Mediterranean Sea.67．Tarik tookthe rock ____.A．from theSpaniardsB．from theArabsC．from theGreeksD．from theEnglishmenDIn ancient times the most important e_amination were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consistedof saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of studywith people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom e_ists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the tor’s degree.Generally, however, modem e_aminations are written. The writtene_amination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probablynot known until the nineteenth century.Perhaps it came into e_istence with the great increase in population and the development of modem industry. A room full of candidates for a state e_amination, timed e_actly by electric clocks and carefully watched over bymanagers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during e_aminations teachers and students are e_pected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an 〝objective〞 test. It is intended to deal withfacts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes aseries of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with eachquestion the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements thatlook like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.68．In the MiddleAges students ____.A．tookobjective testsB．specializedin one subjectC．were timed byelectric clockD．never wrotee_ams69．The main ideaof paragraph 3 is ____.A．workers nowtake e_aminationsB．thepopulation has grownC．there areonly written e_ams todayD．e_aminationsare now written and timed70．The kind ofe_ams where students must select answers are ____.

AThere are a number of sports writers who are now widely regarded as some of the best sports journalists of our time. Here are five of the most well-known sports writers.Rick Reilly of Sports IllustratedRick Reilly became famous as the back page columnist (专栏作家) for Sports Illustrated magazine. Then he moved to ESPN in 2008 and began working as a columnist for their website — . Now he has his own show with ESPN, and he also contributes articles to ABC sports.Bob Ryan of The Boston GlobeBob Ryan rose through the ranks thanks to his skill and knowledge about basketball. He very soon became known as a guru of the sport, writing an impressively large number of articles about The Boston Celtics — a National Basketball Association (NBA) team based in Boston, Massachusetts.John Feinstein of The Washington PostJohn Feinstein is primarily a columnist with The Washington Post but during his long career he has published two best-selling sports books A Good Walk Spoiled and A Season on the Brink. He is a regular with the Golf Channel and has a very popular blog called Feinstein on the Brink.Joaquin Henson of The Philippine StarJoaquin Henson started out his sports journalism career in 1973 and became popularthrough his column Sporting Chance, which has been published in The Philippine Star since the 80’s. He has given a number of catchy nicknames to some of the most famous sporting stars of our time.William Rhoden of The New York TimesApart from being a columnist with The New York Times since the 80’s, William Rhoden is a respected sports journalist known for his two books Forty Million Dollar Slaves and Third and a Mile. Both books deal with the problems that face black athletes in the field of sport.1．Before working for ESPN, Rick Reilly _____.A．was a regular with the Golf Channel B．started his column Sporting Chance C．wrote articles for Sports Illustrated D．worked as a sports talk show host 2．Both John Feinstein and William Rhoden _____.A．have worked as writers for ten years B．work as columnists and write books C．like to give nicknames to sporting stars D．are known as columnists for ABC sports 3．What would be the best title for the text?A．Useful tips for a sports journalist B．How to be a newspaper columnist C．Newspapers that influence us a lot D．Famous and popular sports writersBDr. Faisal Zawawi, an Otolaryngologist and member of the McGill Auditory Sciences Laboratory, notes that when a person is exposed to loud noises it can cause short-term hearing loss but that under normal circumstances the body typically is able to repair the loss of hearing within 72 hours. However, Zawawi warns that if symptoms are not reversed (倒转) in the first 72 hours the damage could become permanent. Due to findings in previous studies about it, Zawawi says that the team of researchers has suspected that something may stop this repair process. Therefore, the team set out to determine if caffeine could be a contributing cause to hearing loss. According to the Medical Daily, the researchers tested what theysuspected on female guinea pigs(FGP) (豚鼠).To perform the test, 24 female guinea pigs were split into three equal groups with each group exposed in different levels to caffeine, and loud noises. The researchers found that the guinea pigs subjected to only sound had their full hearing recovered by day eight. However, the guinea pigs that were subjected to both caffeine and loud noise never fully regained their hearing. Therefore，the researchers concluded that caffeine is a likely contributing cause to permanent hearing loss.“This research confirms that while a cup of coffee may seem appealing after a long night at a loud concert, drinking caffeine produces more of a risk than benefit when it comes to a person's hearing. Although further research is required to understand the effect on humans, the results are promising," says Zawawi. If the research proves successful, the removal of caffeine from your diet following noise exposure could prevent permanent hearing loss as the body will be more able to repair itself naturally.4．What caused the team to do the research?A．Caffeine loving people suffering hearing loss.B．The results about hearing loss found before.C．The finding that FGPs are sensitive to noise.D．The fact that many people drink coffee.5．What is Zawawi's view about temporary hearing loss?A．Drinking coffee daily results in it.B．The continuous noise exposure surely causes it.C．The temporary hearing loss will become permanent after 3 days.D．Generally people can recover from it in 3 days.6．What can we learn about hearing from the text?A．Coffee can lead to quick hearing loss.B．Loud noise causes people to lose it forever.C．Coffee can stop it from recovering.D．Hearing loss after noise exposure is normal.7．How does Zawawi assess the research?A．It's controversial.B．It's unnecessary to carry it on.C．It's not predictable.D．It's almost successful.CSmall talk has a reputation for being uninteresting, and for good reason. Pointing out the fact that it’s raining seems as ridiculous as pointing out the fact that you have a head—you’re fully aware of both things, and don’t require an outsider to confirm them. But despite being evident and often painfully dull, small talk has an important role to fulfil, enabling us to leap over a number of social obstacles towards improved, meaningful interaction.Humans can be sensitive souls. We each have our boundaries and lists of potential upsets, which when broken, cause us to either gently back away to an alternative position in the room, or become cross at the person. Small talk is first a way to test the waters with an unfamiliar person, so that you may better understand their personality. When finding yourself positioned closely to a person who you know little about, it’s much safer to point out the rainy sky than to share your political views on a sensitive topic. Until you know the person better, heavier topics should probably be kept under wraps, so you won’t find yourself on the receiving end of a cold stare.Though insignificant, small talk still has great power. When talking with fellow humans, much of our soul is exposed through non-verbal communication. A response to “how was your weekend” can unveil much about the person’s character. The length of their response might indicate their level of self-confidence; the tone of speaking might show how agreeable a person is; their slightly lowered head, as if protecting themselves from attack, a possible sign of a regrettable history of bullying.As more of a person’s character is revealed, we have the insight needed to determinewhether to broach more significant topics—the things that we actually want to talk about. Conversation is a great educator, and deep conversation establish lasting bonds with our fellow humans, forming precious friendships that paint our lives with vibrant colors. Such friendships begin with small talk.8．What is described in the first paragraph?A．The first stage of human interaction.B．Ridiculous human behavior in communication.C．Absence of communication between strangers.D．The difficulty of having deep conversations.9．Why do people find themselves “on the receiving end of a cold stare”?A．Because they are fond of heavy subjects.B．Because they are enthusiastic about politics.C．Because they are too sensitive about topics.D．Because they fail to manage interpersonal distance.10．What might be a sign of friendliness according to paragraph 3?A．The length of the answer.B．The quality of the voice.C．The position of the head.D．The distance between speakers. 11．What might be the best title for the text?A．Reputation of Small Talk B．Ways of Understanding Personality C．Significance of Small Talk D．Challenges of Deep ConversationDAs educators across the globe look to improve students outcomes, a new trend is beginning to take root. Equipped with the knowledge that indoor plants improve general health and well-being, living green walls, like those created by GSky Plant Systems,Inc., arebringing life to educational spaces.This fall, to help enrich student learning, GSky completed the installation(安装) of a Versa Wall for the new Biomedical Sciences and Engineering(BSE) facility at Universities at Shady Grove in Rockville, Maryland. “The living wall is meant to almost appear as an extension of the east courtyard exterior(外面的) environment flowing into the building,”said Christopher Case, Project Engineer for Gilbane Building Company.As the educational model continues its shift toward a science, technology, engineering, art and math(STEAM) curriculum, Educators are looking for more hands-on learning opportunities. Green walls provide teachers with a new way to put STEAM principles into the curriculum.Known as project-based learning, this method allows instructors to develop educational opportunities for students to interact with a green wall. Michael McCullough, Michael Martin and Mollika Sajady, in their article, “Implementing(实施) Green Walls in school，”explain the benefits of project-based learning：“The project-based learning allows students to construct meaning and knowledge based on direct experience，interacting with their environment.” In turn, students are encouraged to use critical thinking to develop ways to maintain a green wall, once again, bring them back to the natural world, in spite of being indoors.The benefits of green walls don't end at better test scores and increased learning opportunities. Because stress levels often run high in schools, green walls naturally help reduce that stress and anxiety. Plus, the addition of greenery in schools decreases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to a reduction in headaches, dizziness, and tiredness,---all of which contribute to students’ ability to focus.To increase productivity while beautifying a space, Georgetown University also chose a GSky Versa Wall for a student center in one of their residence halls, New South. The 828-square- foot vertical garden is filled with 5000 plants, allowing students to breathe easy.So, no matter the location or learning style, GSky’s green walls are proving to be a critical element in creating a positive educational experience for students, big and small. 12．What did Christopher say about the living wall?A．It extends as far as the east countryyard.B．It appears as if it's constantly moving.C．It beautifies the country yard exterior environment.D．It brings the outdoor environment into the building.13．What does “Implementing Green Walls in School” show about green walls?A．They are beneficial to the students’ studies.B．They still need further improving.C．They might replace some STEAM courses.D．They work well in improving general health.14．Why is Georgetown University mentioned in Paragraph 6?A．To complain about the wrong location of GSky's green walls.B．To display possible learning opportunities at universities.C．To show GSky's green walls’ functions.D．To explain a new trend among universities.15．What is the test mainly about?A．New environmentally friendly measures.B．The unexpected fast development of GSky.C．Living green walls in educational institutions.D．The connection between knowledge and plants.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AWith all the attention Thanksgiving and Christmas get from travellers, it’s easy to overlook Halloween as a destination holiday. While a few cities provide a ghostly atmosphere all year round, annual festivals, theme park pop-up events and other haunted happenings elsewhere have helped make the holiday a travel mini-season all its own.New OrleansHome to year-round cemetery walks, New Orleans is among the cities that naturally harmonize with Halloween. Worth noting every October is the family-friendly Halloween parade, happening this year on Oct. 21, with floats devoted to themes like werewolves and vampires. Float riders throw locally made candies to the crowd. New Orleans hosts plenty of after-event-parties, but the procession itself draws all ages in costume.Whitby, EnglandThis picturesque town on England’s Yorkshire coast is considered to be the home of Dracula, though in a different way. Bram Stoker spent just a month in Whitby, but those four weeks in July and August 1890 were important in the creation of his most famous book, “Dracula”, which was published in 1897. Whitby celebrated the 125th anniversary of Stoker’s visit in 2015, but this year you can see the skeletal remains of Whitby Abbey illuminated throughout the final week of October.Salem, MassachusettsHome to the infamous witch trials of the early 1690s, it should come as no surprise that this town is a hotbed for Halloween activity. One way Salem builds on its spectral past is with the nearly month-long festival of the Dead. Events starting from mid-October this year include psychic readings, mourning-themed tea and on Halloween night, a witches gathering.Orlando, FloridaThe home of Disney World and Universal Studios goes all-out with huge Halloween events. Universal this year will hold its 27th Halloween Horror Night on Oct. 30, a seasonal pop-up featuring haunted houses and “scareactors” employed to frighten visitors. Plus, there are many other activities like trick-or-treating, Disney character encounters, a Halloween ball and fireworks.1. Which of the following is most recommended for a family going together?A. New Orleans.B. Whitby, England.C. Salem, Massachusetts.D. Orlando, Florida.2. Where do Halloween activities last the longest this year?A. New Orleans.B. Whitby, England.C. Salem, Massachusetts.D. Orlando, Florida.3. What can you do in Orlando, Florida ?A. Have mourning-themed tea.B. Enjoy dancing.C. Watch Disney movies.D. See skeletal remains.BOn November 7, Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing waters of King Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica. He was wearing only his swimming glasses, cap and speedos!Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas, working to protect these ecosystem with their large diversity of marine life. When asked why he doesn’t wear a wetsuit, Lewis says, “I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular. If I’m asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message.”It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica where the water averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius . He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters before it starts shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature steadily drops, which in turn causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he is done with his swim, his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for his body temperature to return to normal.Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters. Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing water can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim.This is not the first time that Lewis has swum in dangerous conditions. In 2007, he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to climate change. In 2015, he swam in the Bay ofWhales in Antarctica’s Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine reserve there.4. Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit?A. To swim faster.B. To show his bravery.C. To build up his body.D. To win public attention.5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. His body.B. The water.C. His body temperature.D. The water temperature.6. What’s Pugh’s advice about swimming in freezing waters?A. One must be fully prepared.B. One should be expert at swimming.C. One should be ready to take on challenges.D. One must be used to long-distance swimming.7. What may be the best title for the text?A. Lewis Pugh: swimming for a causeB. How to survive a swim in cold watersC. How to prepare for extreme swimmingD. Lewis Pugh: achieving the impossibleCAttending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school.One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2-3 reach schools and 2-3 safety schools.At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’ re qualified for it.Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information.Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state.Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submitapplication fees to other schools.For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest.8. The passage is mainly written to______.A. introduce famous universities in the United StalesB. show some practical ways to apply an ideal collegeC. advertise for successful applications and advisorsD. offer tips to save money on college application fees9. What does the author advise to do in the second paragraph?A. Write down your favorite universities.B. Reduce the number of your university choices.C. Apply to two universities each time.D. Mind your safety when applying to college.10. Some schools offer free online application to______,A. receive fees faster than beforeB. employ someone else to workC. cut down the cost of employmentD. enter the application information11. It can be known from the passage that______,A. application fee might be canceled conditionallyB. many countries attend College Application WeekC. applying for early admission is the best policyD. admission departments determine your futureDEvery summer, the Serengeti plains (平原) of Africa are worth visiting. Millions of wild animals begin their 1,800-mile journey northwards on their annual migratory (迁移的) route.In the month of November, polar bears in their thousands cross the Canadian Arctic, as they head towards the ice sheets of Hudson Bay. The sea ice that forms every winter is the key to the bear’s managing to exist, for here they hunt for seals (海豹).The Great Bustard, one of the heaviest flying birds, migrates each year across Europe and Asia to its wintering grounds. Unluckily, these and other migratory animals are in danger from human activity.We have written several articles on climate change and the effect of rising ocean temperatures. Since 1979, ice sheets in the Arctic have gone down by 30 percent. What does this mean for polar bears? They are forced to stay on land for longer periods of time, which delays their search for food. As a result, bears today are 60 pounds lighter than what they were. Besides, smaller bears also produce weaker babies, and their chances of survival are at risk. In the plains of Africa, migratory animals like gazelles are traveling long distances for food, just to avoid falling prey (牺牲品) to humans who hunt them.In an unusual step, experts from 120 countries have agreed to protect 31 migratory mammals, fish and birds. The United Nation’s 11th annual Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) was held in Quito, Ecuador. For the first time, 900 experts attended the conference, and the enthusiastic support shows the world is united in conservation (保护) efforts.What does getting on a protected list mean? Countries that have signed the agreement will be required to pass laws locally and work with other countries that fall within the animal’s migratory path. Only one animal did not make the list. The African lion was rejected (拒绝) for lack of information of the countries where it lives.12. What can we learn from the passage?A. The Great Bustard is one of the largest flying birds.B. The weight of polar bears today is lighter than what it was.C. In the 1970s, ice sheets went down by 30 percent.D. 120 experts have agreed to protect 21 migratory animals.13. Why was the African lion not included in the list from the passage?A. We don’t know which countries it lives in.B. It isn’t a migratory animal.C. Experts were not interested in this animal.D. It was not traveling long distances for food.14. The writer writes this passage aiming to __________.A. let us know about the animalsB. prevent the rare animals from dying outC. inform us of the effects of climate changeD. draw our attention to helping the migratory animals15. All these factors have probably put the migratory animals in danger EXCEPT _______.A. some human activityB. the enthusiastic support from expertsC. rising ocean temperaturesD. climate change第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ACoolest Bookstores in the WorldWhere did you buy your last book? Chances are that you bought it on the Internet. But if you did, you missed the remarkable experience of browsing in a real bookstore. These days bookstores offer lots of great books and plenty more.Eslite Dunnan StoreTime magazine once named Eslite Dunnan Store in Taiwan province, China "Asia's best bookstore".

Note that there are tvvo more sentences than you need.Most people don't need science to appreciate the importance of a mother's love. But to understand how early maltreatment can derail a child's development requires careful study.In a famous research, Harry Harlow had demonstrated that proper psychological and physical development of infants requires nurturing and attention from a parent.（1）______ In that research, socially isolated monkey babies that were removed from their mothers were found to be clinging to a cloth—covered surrogate mother for comfort.Such experimentations sound cruel. They, however, have been critical in helping change policies in human orphanages（孤儿院）in the U. S. For centuries sonic orphanages treated infants equally inhumanely. Despite early evidence that orphanage infants were far more likely to die than others, supporters argued that it didn't matter whether children had "parents" specially devoted to them at the orphanage.（2）______ Orphans were supposed to be in positive mental and physical health until adoptive parents were found. Babies, they said, couldn't remember anyway.The harrowing consequences of these theories were most vividly brought to light in Romania in the 1980s and 90s. A ban on abortion（流产）led to a surge in orphanage babies. Simply being fed and changed without individualized affection, some babies present serious problems. Many developed violent behaviors, repetitively rocking or banging their heads. Some were cold and withdrawn or indiscriminately affectionate.（3）______ Their head sizes were especially small.They even had problems with attention and comprehension. The longer these children were left alone, the more damage was seen.The lack of a secure attachment relationship in the early years has destructive consequences for both physical and mental health later in life, with long-lasting effects. The persistence of these effects emphasizes the need to intervene early in life. The Nobel-prize-winning economist James Heckman, has long argued that investing in early childhood education provides a greater returns for society than virtually any other type of spending. It is obviously reflected in increased educational success and productivity. The reduced crime, addiction, distress and disorder point to the same theory. Early life conditions critically affect adult life.（4）________Remove it and the harm is great.A. The appropriate feeding and caring styles were greatly rewarded in all aspects.B. It was claimed that simply feeding and changing them would be adequate.C. Some, however, demonstrate little influence with roughly ordinary behavior pattern.F. And they simply didn't grow like normal infants.25. On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise（MLE），I didn't get a lot of fan mail，so my attention was caught by a letter on my desk one morning．When I opened it，I read："Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers．Keep up the good work．"It was signed by Don Wolfe，the sports editor． Because I was a teenager（being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch），his words could not have been more inspiring，I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got old．Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to a writer，I would reread Don's note and ________ again．Later，when I got to know him，I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick，encouraging note to people in all walks of life，"When I make others feel good about themselves，"he told me，"I feel good，too．"Over the years，I've tried to copy Don and write uplifting words．In a world too often cold and unresponsive，such notes bring warmth．Why are positive note writers in such short supply My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self﹣conscious．They are afraid they will be misunderstood．Thus it may cause troubles and problems．And it sounds insincere on the phone，Also，writing takes time；it is far easier to pick up the phone．The drawback of phone calls，of course，is that they do not last．A note attaches more importance to our well﹣wishing．It is a matter of record，and our words can be read more than once savored （回味） and treasured，and they bring strength and love to us．Today I sent a warm letter to my old boss．I don't know if it will make his day，but it made mine．As my friend Don Wolfe said．"Making others feel good about themselves makes me feel good too．"（1）What does the underlined part "walk on air" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？（No more than 5 words）________（2）According to the author，why aren't people willing to write letters？（No more than 15 words）________（3）Why did the author write to his old boss？（No more than 15 words）________（4）What's the text mainly about？（No more than 10 words）________（5）Were you encouraged by anybody？And how？（No more than 25 words）________四、完形填空（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）26.(5分)First FailureI leaned my head on my hand.

Some take over-the-counter（非处方的）medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies（治疗）like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it's easy to believe it's medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral（抗病毒的）drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw（拼图）, which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus（鼻病毒）A and B. But they didn't find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C."This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus," study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daliy.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus , showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don't really work.（1）What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?A.They are quite effective.B.They are slightly helpful.C.They actually have no effect.D.They still need to be improved.（2）How do antiviral drugs work?A.By breaking up cold viruses directly.B.By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.C.By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.D.By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.（3）What can we infer from the passage?A.The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.B.Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.C.Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.D.Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.（4）What is the best title for this passage?A.Drugs against cold virusesB.Helpful home remediesC.No current cure for common coldD.Research on cold viruses28.Who was the most important person of the year? Teens is looking for people in a wide range of disciplines（科目）and professions who broke barriers, set records, settled problems, and created opportunities. Who do you vote for?Jose AndresSince 2016, he and the team at his non-profit group, World Central Kitchen, have provided meals to survivors of hurricanes, wildfires, and other emergencies. Most agencies feed survivors prepackaged meals. But what World Central Kitchen impresses the world most is that it puts the kitchen skills to use, guiding people to cook fresh, hot food In 2019, Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas. It served more than 1.75 million meals there.Jason ReynoldsHe has written more than a dozen books for kids. They've sold millions of copies.

Reynolds is concerned with the voices of black children and teenagers.Boyan SlatHe founded The Ocean Cleanup in 2013.

The device, called GENNY, is small enough to be used in a home or office but can generate up to 30 liters of water a day. The water that GENNY produces is not only clean enough to drink, but often cleaner than tap water.GENNY takes air in and passes it through a filter (过滤器) to remove dust and dirt. The filter is powerful enough to work even in areas with high air pollution. The air then passes through a cabin where heating and cooling cause water vapor in the air to cool down. This water is then passed through several more filters, and minerals are added to make it healthier and better-tasting. Finally, the water is stored in a tank where it is continually circulated to keep it fresh.The heating and cooling process, named GENius, is far more energy-efficient than other technologies that generate water from air. It produces four to five times more water perkilowatt-hour. Watergen has other products that use this same technology on a larger scale, the largest of which can produce up to 5,000 liters of water per day.As an added bonus, once the water is extracted (提取), GENNY produces purified air, which is healthier for people to breathe.At the 2020 Smart Home Mark of Excellence Awards at the Consumer Electronics Show, GENNY was named the Energy Efficient Product of the Year. The award series recognizes the world’s top high-tech home products.As a company, Watergen aims to provide drinking water to the billions of people who don’t have safe drinking water at home. Last year Watergen’s large-scale products were donated to authorities in Brazil, Vietnam and India.Watergen also seeks to help the environment by removing waste generated by plastic water bottles. People can put the water from GENNY into reusable bottles so that plastic on es don’t get used and thrown away. Watergen’s technology is sure to help many people around the world as well as help take care of our planet.5．What does “GENNY” in paragraph 1 refer to?A．A machine that produces water from air.B．A company that generates water.C．A process that cools water.D．A reusable bottle that contains water.6．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The advantages of GENNY.B．The working process of GENNY.C．The benefits of water generated by GENNY.D．The functions of GENNY.7．Why is GENius more energy-saving, compared with other similar technologies?A．It generates water even cleaner than tap water.B．It produces clean air while extracting water.C．It produces 5,000 liters of water a day.D．It generates much more water each kilowatt-hour.8．What has Watergen achieved so far?A．It has provided people in remote areas with clean water.B．It has got people into using recyclable bottles.C．It has won the award of Efficient Products of the Year.D．It has circulated the technology throughout the world.C（2020·福建师大附中）Picture this: It’s 2003 and your family has just finished arguing over which Netflix movie video tapes to rent that week. Movies come in the mail and the family watch them throughout the week. Then, fast forward to 2008, and you have started to watch TV shows on Netflix’s new platform.Now, let’s come to the present. You sit down and open up Netflix on your TV and scroll （滚屏）for a while. Then check HBO GO. Finally, check Disney+. Th en realize that you’re paying for three different streaming services, maybe more.Let’s return to Netflix. More generally, streaming. There are over 100 video streaming services available, as well as quite a few music streaming, including YouTube Music, Google Play, and etc. The streaming world, at least to some, is on its way to getting out of control, with each service requiring its own monthly entertainment subscription. We haven’t even taken into account subscriptions like Microsoft Office and email newsletters. Subscriptions started out as a service of convenience, but now, the oversaturation may have become burdensome. The services believe customers will pay more to get the content they want. However, statistics show a growing frustration among consumers. With so many options, they find it harder than ever to make a decision on what to pick.Not only does the oversaturation of streaming result in confusing navigation, it also creates a financial burden for the consumers. Let’s say if you want to watch The Handmaid’s Tale and Game of Thrones, which belong to two different services, you would have to pay nearly $50 a month to access both services, meaning it’s potentially more expensive, than cable.People cut their cords （细绳）and went the streaming route because it was simpler and cheaper. Now, it’s just as inconvenient and difficult as cable was, if not more so, and unless you’re limiting yourself to one service, it’s not cheaper. Streaming will survive because we’re in a Golden Age of Media and because each service is able to create high-quality originals. But Golden Ages don’t last, and bubbles tend to burst. Until the unavoidable day when some product or service proves streaming out of date, we must suffer the choices in front of us. The next time you are scrolling through Netflix, Hulu, or whatever, and the over-choice is killing you, maybe you should just go pick up a book instead.9．What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs?A．Social progress has promoted the quality of life in the past decade.B．Technology innovation results in different ways of relaxation.C．Changes in home entertainment have brought us more options.D．Netflix has been developing its service patterns.10．What does the underlined word “oversaturation” in Paragraph 3 p robably refer to?A．The large number of subscriptions.B．The frustration caused by poor service.C．The rapidly developing entertainment market.D．The confusing navigation resulting from streaming.11．According to the passage, streaming services may__________.A．improve user satisfaction B．raise entertainment costsC．diversify entertainment forms D．realize the resource sharing12．The author would probably agree that _________.A．the streaming service will have a bright futureB．reading has an advantage over streaming serviceC．there will be some better service to replace streamingD．nothing can end streaming services as long as media existsD（2021·山东泰安市·高三一模）V olunteers in Policing （Vips）are based in police where they work to deal with customer service, community safety and crime prevention needs in the community.

It allows us to explore new places, meet new people, and learn about different cultures. However, some people think that traveling is too expensive and time-consuming. In this essay, I will discuss the benefits of traveling and why it is worth the effort.Firstly, traveling broadens our horizons. By visiting differentcountries and cities, we can learn about the history, culture, and traditions of other people. This helps us to understand the world better and appreciate the diversity of human experiences. Secondly, traveling can improve our communication skills. When we travel, we often need to interact with people from different backgrounds. This can be challenging, but it also provides an opportunity to learn new languages and improve our social skills. Lastly, traveling can be a great way to relax and de-stress. Being in a new environment can help us to forget about our daily routines and focus on enjoying the present moment.Of course, traveling does come with some challenges. It can be expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes even dangerous. However, the benefits of traveling far outweigh the risks. In my opinion, everyone should try to travel at least once in their life. It is an experience that can change our perspective on life and make us more open-minded and compassionate individuals.26. What is the main idea of the passage?A.

DescriptiveBPassage for questions 31-35The Internet has become an integral part of our daily lives. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, access information, and conduct business. However, the Internet also poses some challenges and risks. In this essay, I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet and how we can mitigate its negative impacts.One of the main advantages of the Internet is its ability to connect people from all over the world. We can now communicate with friends and family through social media platforms, video calls, and email. This has made the world a smaller place and has fostered a sense of global community. Additionally, the Internet provides us with access to a vast amount of information. We can research topics of interest, learn new skills, and stay updated on current events. The Internet has also transformed the way we conduct business. Online shopping, e-commerce, and digital marketing have become popular and have created new opportunities for entrepreneurs.However, the Internet also has its disadvantages. One of the biggest concerns is privacy and security. Cybercrime, such as hacking and identity theft, has become a significant issue. Another problem is the negative impact of the Internet on our mental health. Excessive use of social media and other online platforms can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Additionally, the Internet can be asource of misinformation and fake news, which can be harmful to individuals and society.To mitigate the negative impacts of the Internet, we need to be cautious and responsible. We should use strong passwords, keep our personal information secure, and be critical of the information we consume. It is also important to limit our screen time and maintain a healthy balance between online and offline activities.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A.

Use the Internet to research topics of interest and learn new skills.D. Trust all the information we consume on the Internet.35. What is the tone of the passage?A. CriticalB. InformativeC. PersuasiveD. DescriptiveCPassage for questions 36-40The importance of education cannot be overstated. It is the key to personal and societal development. Education equips individuals with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to succeed in life. In this essay, I will discuss the benefits of education and why it is crucialfor both individuals and society.Firstly, education helps individuals to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By studying different subjects, students learn how to analyze information, evaluate arguments, and make informed decisions. These skills are essential in both personal and professional life. Secondly, education provides individuals with the opportunity to pursue their interests and passions. Whether it is science, art, music, or literature, education allows students to explore their talents and pursue their dreams. Lastly, education fosters social cohesion and unity. By studying together and working towards common goals, students learn torespect and appreciate diversity. This helps to build a more inclusive and harmonious society.However, there are challenges and issues in the education system. One of the main challenges is the lack of access to quality education. Many students, especially those from low-income families, do not have access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. Another problem is the increasing cost of education. Tuition fees and other expenses have become unaffordable for many students. Additionally, there is a need to improve the quality of education and ensure that it is relevant to the needs of the modern world.To address these challenges, we need to focus on improving access to education, reducing the cost of tuition, and ensuring that the curriculum is up-to-date and relevant. We also need to invest in teacher training and professional development to ensure that educators are equipped to provide quality education.36. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Education is the key to personal and societal development.B. The education system has many challenges and issues.C. Education is expensive and not accessible to everyone.D. Education is not important for personal and societal development.37. According to the passage, what are some benefits of education?A. It helps individuals to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.B. It provides individuals with the opportunity to pursue theirinterests and passions.C. It fosters social cohesion and unity.D. All of the above.38. What is one of the main challenges in the education system according to the passage?A. The lack of access to quality education.B. The increasing cost of education.C. The need to improve the quality of education.D. All of the above.39. What can be done to address the challenges in the education system according to the passage?A. Improve access to education, reduce the cost of tuition, and ensure that the curriculum is up-to-date.B. Invest in teacher training and professional development.C. Focus on providing quality education to all students.D. All of the above.40. What is the tone of the passage?A. CriticalB. InformativeC. PersuasiveD. Descriptive三、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）Read the following passage and fill in each blank with one of the words given below. Each word may be used only once.The modern world is full of _41_ and distractions.

ADifferent countries have different tipping customs. When you travel, you need to know how to tip in the country that yo u’re in; otherwise you’ll leave servers angry everywhere you go.Here are just a few guidelines to tipping around the world.BrazilThere will always be a standard 10% service charge added to your bill, and you won’t necessarily have to tip. If you do feel like being generous, an extra 5-10% will really make your server very happy. Just remember to do this as skillfully as possible—Brazilians don’t make a big show of this.DubaiIn Dubai it’s a rule for restaurants to charge 10% tip on all restaurant and bar bills. You can add a couple of dirhams（迪拉姆,货币单位）to this if you feel like it. Waiters are not paid very much in Dubai, so it is always very appreciated.GermanyGerman bars and restaurants will include the tip as part of what you owe, but that’s not all yo u have to pay. It is a custom to round the bill up after that, usually to the euro. This can be anywhere from 5-10%. When it’s time to settle up, you won’t get a bill: your waiter tells you the total and then you tell them how much you want to pay, includi ng your “tip”, and hand over the money.Czech RepublicWhile locals in the Czech Republic don’t leave tips, that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook.Foreign tourists are definitely expected to leave some kind of tip for service—as long as you’re in a high tou rist traffic area, like Prague for instance. The standard tip is 10%.IndiaIf you like the service, go ahead and tip your server 5-10%. You have to adjust that amount though, based on how big the meal you’re eating is. If the bill is for a small meal, and totals less than 300 rupees, tip the full 10%. If the bill is higher, tip towards the 5%.1．In which country do customers have to tip at least 10% for the service?A．Dubai B．IndiaC．Germany D．Czech Republic2．Which country has different tip cultures between citizens and foreigners?A．Dubai B．GermanyC．India D．Czech Republic3．If your bill is 2000 rupees in India, it is proper for you to tip________ rupees.A．10 B．80C．120 D．200BI always wanted to be extraordinarily good at something. Not just as in, “Great job, Jimbo!” No, I wanted to be best-in-class, awe-inspiring, tiptop: a world-famous genius, like Michael Phelps, or Mark Zuckerberg.Unfortunately, my version of reality did not quite line up with this delusional vision. I was a good swimmer, but I peaked at the collegiate State Championships level. My academic record was pretty solid, but I never would have made it into one of those ivy-league schools.Though I rose to above-average status in a couple of areas, the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid-sized fish in a small pond. God apparently had other plans.What drove me crazy, though, was the superstar talent thrown in my face at every turn. Some folks just seemed to get an unfair intensive dose (剂量) of it. W hy couldn’t I be like Bernie Williams, the famed New York Yankees player who also happens to be a world-class jazz guitar virtuoso (艺术大师)?Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time. Around ten thousand hours, to be precise, ac cording to author Malcolm Gladwell. I don’t question the theory of devoting extraordinary efforts to developing one’s expertise, but it seems that raw talent is equally important. You either have it or you don’t.I’ve heard that as people approach middle a ge, their life satisfaction increases because they begin to accept the gap between the expectations for themselves and the reality. After a few decades of frustration without the desired results, we eventually come to terms with how our lives turned out, even if it falls far short of our idealized youthful expectations.Hope bends, it seems.4．What does the word “delusional” in Para. 2 most probably mean?A．Imaginary. B．Realistic.C．Disappointing. D．Material.5．In the passage, the writer thinks of himself as ________.A．a world-famous genius B．a mid-sized fish in a small pondC．a world-class virtuoso D．a student in an ivy-league school6．According to the writer, what makes “greatness”?A．Extraordinary efforts. B．Ten thousand hours of practice.C．Raw talent. D．Talent and time.7．Which of the following might be the best title?A．Hope Bends B．Frustrating DecadesC．Practice Works D．Youthful ExpectationsCLego is considering a brick (积木) rental plan in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste. The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable (可持续的) sources by 2030 and is investing significant resources into finding alternatives.Tim Brooks, vice-president responsible for sustainability, said the company was “totally open” to the idea of a p roduct rental plan but admitted that lost pieces could produce a significant problem. “What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again?” Mr. Brooks added.“There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done. We are right at beginning of that.” Mr. Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to producing the highest value from products while consuming the least amount of resources. He said many would “probably never see the light of day” and there was no current plan to try out a rental plan.Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint among growing international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment. It produces 19 billion pieces per year—36, 000 a minute—that are made entirely of plastic while much of the inside packaging is also plastic.So far, the only breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane. The green trees, plants and flowers were first included in Lego sets late last year but make up only 1%-2% of the total amount of plastic elements produced. Henrik Nielson, a production supervisor (主管) in Lego’s factory, said last year: “We need to learn again how to do this.”Lego reportedly releases around a million tons of carbon dioxide each year, with about 75% coming from raw materials that go into factories. The company has invested more than 100, 000,000 euros and hired 100 people to research non-plastic alternatives. It is aiming to keep all of its packaging out of landfill by 2025.8．Lego is making great efforts to ________.A．promote its brick rental plan B．raise its production efficiencyC．explore ways to reduce plastic waste D．develop new products9．According to Mr. Brooks, Lego’s brick rental plan ________.A．is well under way B．has a long way to goC．is totally useless D．goes against Lego’s interest10．The writer tells of Lego’s stress of reducing plastic waste by means of ________.A．figures B．examplesC．comparison D．classification11．What is Lego’s attitude towards developing non-plastic alternatives?A．Defensive. B．Determined.C．Disapproving. D．Doubtful.DHow affordable is high culture? One great myth of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballet and orchestral (管弦乐) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, at least, the claim is ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear London's orchestras range from ￡7 to ￡9 — same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat is ￡30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic, it's an expensive ￡46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isn't so easy. True. British companies don't charge the ridiculous high prices found on the Continent (￡2,000 for a good seat at a premiere of La Scala's Carmen last December), but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular technological innovation has transformed the scene. It's live (or slightly delayed) cinema transmissions. The New York Metropolitan Opera now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British companies aren't far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (￡10 or ￡15 for the Royal Opera House's shows) you can sit in your local movie-house and see a high-definition relay of what's occurring on the world's grandest stages. No,it's not the same as being there, but it's almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images, particularly of dancers, are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on your own at home.To me, this mountain of evidence, together with free museum admissions, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The real battle now should be ensuring that school children are given enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.12．What does the underlined word "infuriating" in paragraph 1 mean?A．Quite interesting. B．Very annoying. C．Not certain. D．Extremely obvious. 13．What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?A．The amount of money charged by top performers.B．The costly technology required for broadcast.C．The demand of companies for big profits.D．The high cost of renting the stages.14．Which of the following is true about cinematic opera?A．People can decide where to watch the opera.B．Audiences are discouraged from responding to The performances.C．It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.D．The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance.15．Which statement would the author agree with?A．The quality of opera performances is improving.B．High culture is becoming more affordable in Europe.C．The cost of access to high culture activities should be lowered.D．Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

APeople are always looking for lost cities and occasionally one is found: Borobudur in Indonesia, for example. But perhaps some of the places people look for never existed—or did they ? Here are just a few famous mythical(神话里的) cities.El DoradoEl Dorado is a story that began in 1537, when Spanish explorers found the Muisca people in the mountains of what is now Colombia. They heard the story of a man who covered himself with gold and dived into a lake. Then people began to talk of El Dorado—“the golden man". Soon people started to think of El Dorado as a place, too—a city of gold and amazing riches. Nowadays, the name “El Dorado" is s till used to mean "a place where you can get rich quickly”.AtlantisThere was once an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It was the mythical island of Atlantis. The people of the island were very rich, thanks to the natural resource on the island. For hundreds of years, they lived simple lives. But slowly they began to change. They started to want power. So the gods decided to destroy Atlantis. Suddenly, the island and its people were swallowed by the sea and were never seen again.ShambhalaIn Tibetan Buddhist traditions, Shambhala is a mystical country that is hidden somewhere behind the Himalayas. Shambhala is a word from an old language that means “a place of peace” or “a place of happiness”. It is said that there is no war in Shambhala, and in the future, when the world is full of war, a huge army will come out of Shambhala, destroy the world’s bad rulers, and start a new Golden Age.

Elites who have completed Exeter College.BAppalachian Mountains have one of the richest and most diverse seasonal forests on earth. However, it also has a darker, decades-long history of coal-mining that had done almost great damage to local ecosystems, leaving hundreds of barren and bald hills.In 2002, after years of telling coal companies to pack rubble (碎石) and plant grass on the remains of mountaintop explosion and opencast mining sites, Angel, an officer of Surface Mining Enforcement, noticed that the big trees—the life-giving forces of Appalachia—were not returning to the area.When Angel went to the University of Kentucky to pursue a Ph. D., there he met Chris Barton, a young forestry professor who was studying how regrowing forests could solve frequent flooding problems. In 2004, Angel, Barton, and others created the Appalachian Regional Reforestation Initiative-trees should be planted on mines. Regulators from all levels of government, scientists,environmentalists, and even coal miners agreed. The native had the power of spirit to turn over a new leaf and begin working to remove years of environmental degradation.Within just a few years, almost all new mines in the Mountain were reforested upon completion rather than seeded with grass.Now 70 years old, Angel has been the driving force behind a re-greening of coal country. With joint efforts, 187 million trees have been planted over 275,000 acres of former mines.Angel and Barton’s journey hasn’t been easy, as tree planting is much-less profitable than mining. The slow work of reforesting the area continues by the sweat of people from the mountains who understand the beauty and importance of their forested homes.4. What caused damage to the forests in Appalachian Mountains?A. Lack of water.B. Frequent flood.C. Government policy.D. Years of coal-mining.5. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 mean?A. Worsening.B. Conservation.C. Restoration.D. Pollution.6. Why is Angel and Barton's journey more challenging?A. Mining requires less sweat.B. The initiative receives less support.C. It is easier to pack rubble and plant grass.D. Tree-planting is less financially rewarding.7. What can we learn from the passage?A. Promise little, but do much.B. Many hands make light work.C. The tree is the guardian of water.D. Green the land to make people rich.CScientists have designed “transparent(透明的) wood” that could replace conventional glass in windows.The innovation was developed using wood from the balsa tree, which is native to South and Central America, and claims to be five times more thermally efficient than glass.The team treated balsa wood in an oxidizing bath that bleaches(漂白) it of nearly all visibility and then penetrated it with PVA —creating a product that is virtually transparent. Unlike traditional glass, the transparent wood can withstand much stronger impacts and will bend or splinter when damaged, instead of shattering(粉碎).The transparent wood was created by teams at the University of Maryland and University of Colorado, which set out to find a greener alternative to conventional glass –a production that creates 25,000 tons in emissions each year. Along with contributing to greenhouse gases, glass contributes to a loss of energy.“Residential building windows in particular account for 10–25% of the heat loss due to their poor thermal management capability” the team wrote in t he study.“Exploring energy efficient window materials is thus highly desirable to address heating costs, energy shortages, and the global impact of climate change associated with increased carbon emissions.”The team notes that the bonding between PVA and cellulose(纤维素) in the wood, creates a tightly packed structure that allows for more thermal protection and makes it more durable and lighter than glass.“Switching to transparent wood could prove to be cost efficient as well,” researchers shared in a stat ement. “It is made from a sustainable, renewable resource with low carbon emissions. It can be produced with existing industrial processing equipment, making its manufacturing an easy prospect.”8. What does the underlined word “thermally” in paragraph 2 m ean?A. Associated with cost.B. Connected with heat.C. Associated with emissions.D. Connected with structure.9. What do we know about the “transparent wood”?A. It will shatter when damaged.B. It has replaced traditional glass.C. It is more durable than glass.D. It contributes to greenhouse gases.10. Why is the residential building windows mentioned in Paragraph 5?A. To show the disadvantages of conventional glass.B. To show the efficiency of thermal management.C. To explain the importance of building designing.D. To explain the global impact of climate change.11. What helps the transparent wood in thermal protection?A. Its tightly packed structure.B. Its sustainable, renewable resource.C. Its easy manufacturing prospect.D. Its industrial processing equipment.DIf all goes well, a balloon will soon rise from Space Center in Sweden. It will float high into the upper atmosphere, where nothing will happen, and then return to Earth. Nevertheless, a collection of environmental groups is trying to stop it.The campaigners are against the flight because of what comes next. The balloon is a test flight for a research being run by the University of Harvard. The research aims to test an idea called SAI, in which fine dust is added into the upper atmosphere to boost the amount of sunlight reflected back into space. A future flight will release a small amount of calcium carbonate dust into the upper atmosphere, in order to help researchers learn more about solar geoengineering — an excellent but theoretic al idea of deliberately adjusting the Earth’s systems to prevent the bad effects of climate change.Opponents worry about two things. The first is the moral issue. If solar geoengineering works, it could reduce pressure to deal with climate change at its source by cutting greenhouse-gas emissions. Furthermore, in order to keep temperatures low, the reflective particles (颗粒) would have to be topped up continuously. A sudden stop could result in very rapid wanning. Raymond Pierrehumbert, a physicist at the University of Oxford, says solar geoengineering is too risky even to research outside of computer simulations (模拟).Not all environmentalists are opposed. The world is likely to miss the target, set in the Paris agreement, of keeping warming to 1.5℃. “We’re not well-served by not understanding what these technologies represent,” says Steven Hamburg. Mr Hamburg favours small-scale geoengineering research. Other green organisations have also hesitantly approved of exploring the idea.Exploration is likely to carry on in any case. Once a taboo, geoengineering is being taken increasingly seriously. A recent report on climate change suggested that SAI could help keep warming below 1.5℃America has developed a research plan for solar geoengineering. Both China and India have launched research programmes of their own. Activists will continue to oppose experiments. But balloons will likely fly anyway.12. How does solar geoengineering work?A. Dust is put into the upper atmosphere to trap more heat.B. Measures are taken intentionally to tackle the climate change.C. Steps are taken deliberately to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.D. Dust is emptied into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight into Earth.13. Why do environmentalists argue against SAI?A. It is to be implemented on a large scale.B. It has led to global warming against the original intention.C. It is probably to miss the target of keeping warming to 1.5℃.D. It may cause people to care little about greenhouse-gas emissions.14. What is the best title of the text?A. Should balloons, flight be banned?B. Should solar geoengineering exploration go ahead?C. How do balloons threaten the earth's climate?D. How has solar geoengineering changed Earth?15. What is the author’s attitude to solar geoengineering?A. Critical.B. Positive.C. Doubtful.D. Frightened.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
