In court at 9 o’clock. Apart from me there are a few old ladies who have come to the court and a class of 14-15 year-olds with their teacher.
9:05 Court starts. First case: Henry P., 47, divorced, charged with being drunk. He refused to leave a pub at closing time and caused a bit of damage when the police tried to arrest him. P. said he had had an argument with his boss and could not face going home to an empty flat.
9:50 Mrs F., 72, shoplifting (店内偷窃). Apparently Mrs F. had stolen a frozen chicken, which she had hidden under her hat (At this the school children burst out laughing and even the judges have difficulty keeping a straight face). The chicken was so cold that she fell unconscious, otherwise she would probably not have been
caught. Mrs F, in tears, says she had not eaten meat for three weeks. It turns out that, although she has the old - age pension, she does not know about other forms of support.

11:00 Mrs A., 45, a doctor’s wife, president of a local ladies’ club, was caught leaving a fashion shop wearing two dresses, only one of which belonged to her. Admitting that she had wanted to steal the dress, she could not explain why.

If you believe in thermometers（温度计）,you should believe in global warming. And if you believe in eating fries with your hamburger, you should worry more about carbon emissions.
It won't happen overnight, but as the planet's climate changes, the growth cycles of main crops will all be heavily affected. Here are three of the crops that might not beat the heat.
The potato actually needs a great deal of beauty rest to develop properly. “They need a cool nighttime temperature in order to start growing the tuber, the part that we eat,” Nelson says.
Temperature and altitude are two primary concerns in coffee growth, and farmers are stuck between a rock and a hard place.“We know that coffee grows in a certain temperature range, ”Nelson says.“They've been moving up the mount ains, but at some point you run out of mountains to move up.”Higher-grade strains of Arabica coffee in Central American regions are at particular risk due to the need for lower growing temperature, especially since diseases and pests are also becoming more of a factor as temperatures rise.
Even if you're looking at the direct effects of temperature alone, rice is in trouble.“As nighttime temperatures go up, the rice is going to have a problem flowering and won't make as many seeds, ”Nelson says. In addition to this direct heat consequence, rising sea levels will flood many rice fields and destroy water salinity levels, while droughts will lower production, raise prices, and further shame westerners who are too clumsy with chopsticks to be able to clear their plates once a new grain is adopted.
24.What is the closest meaning to the underlined word “emissions” in Paragraph 1?
A. Mixture.
B. Pollution.
C. Letting off.
D. Going
down.
25.What does the potatoes' development need according to Nelson?
A .Enough water and salt.
B Sudden rise of the temperature..
C. Much sunshine and fresh air.
D. Cool temperature at night.
26.The rice is difficult to flower, probably because______.
A. sea levels go up suddenly
B. the temperature rises at night
C .many seeds can't be produced
D .both temperature and altitude rise
27.What is the best title for the text?
A. How Does Global Warming Affect Westerners
B. How Does The Cool Temperature Affect Rice
C. Three Crops That Won't Survive Minor Climate Changes
D. What Is The Real Reason For Crops' Growth
C
Some people are so rude!
Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?
Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.
In texts, you don’t have to declare w ho you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.
My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mails?” my sister asked. “Just text him.”
In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business’s phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.
How to handle these different standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. Others, like me, want no reply.
The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modem societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.
28. What does the underlined word “exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?
A. Worried.
B. Surprised.
C. Annoyed.
D. Tired.
29. Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?
A. He didn’t want to talk with his father.
B. He liked text messages better.
C. He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.
D. He enjoyed checking his voice mails.
30. Which of the following does the writer agree to?
A. Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.
B. Declaring who they are or saying hello in texts is necessary
C. People needn’t learn from one another in traditional societies.
D. People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.
31. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Nowadays: do you need a thank-you message.
B. Nowadays: do you like leaving others a voice message.
C. Nowadays: what should we do with text messages
D. Nowadays: what means should we use in communication.
D
Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money, research has shown.
Penny saving UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidi rather than expensive alternatives.
This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from £1.19 billion in 2011 to £1. 12billion in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from positive, with sales expected to fall further to £1.11billion in 2016.
In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from £43 in 2014 to £41 in 2015.
Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper-including facial tissue and kitchen roll –to save money. "Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small part of consumers preferring more expensive alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume(香味)," said analyst Jack Duckett. "These extra features are considered unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer."
While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain particular about it when it comes to paper quality. One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers(制造商), 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.
32. The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because_____.
A . its prices have gone up over the year
B . Britons have cut their spending on it
C. its quality has seen marked improvement
D .Britons have developed the habit of saving
33.What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK?
A. It will remain disappointing.
B. It will expand in time.
C. It will experience ups and downs.
D .It will recover as population grows.
34.What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper?
A. Special offers would promote its sales.
B. Consumers are loyal to certain brands.
C. Extra features add much to the price.
D. Consumers have a variety to choose from.
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.
B. Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.
C. Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve.
D. Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.

Three weeks before I made a trip to Wanfo Lake with my e-pals which came from other provinces. It was rather big lake with beautiful scenery all around. We were amazing by the endless view in front of our eyes. Late on, unlike other girls, I was volunteered to go waterskiing lonely. I put up the life jacket, got on the motorboat immediately and starting my engine as soon as possible.
The lake seemed broad and endless. I was so excited to appreciate the beauty of the mountains and waters that I speed my motorboat. Then, after some time, I found me in the middle of the endless lake. I really enjoyed the unforgettable experience! 第二节：书面表达（满分25分）

Dear Leslie,
I’m Li Hua. I’m writing to invite you to join in the Reader Activity, which is aimed to promote our interest in reading and also enjoys great popularity across China at the moment.
The activity will be held in front of our school library with a newly-built pavilion outside, located in the west of our school. It will start at 8 o’clock next Sunday morning and last three hours. Any student in our school who is keen on reading can try out for it. What I intend to stress is that each participant is supposed to read aloud in turn in the Reading Pavilion and that they should limit their performance to 3 minutes. What’s more, the selected reading material, ranging from essays to poetry, ought to be positive and inspiring.
There is no doubt that you would learn a lot by improving your reading and speaking in Chinese if you became one of the readers.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours.
Li Hua。
