To describe the positions of China Daily.B. To advertise for some good employees.C. To tell you how to become part of this group.D. To describe the working conditions of China Daily.BIt was Sunday morning. I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room. I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own. I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, Robot. He said, “Mum, Can I have a room of my own? I could use Jeff‟s. He won‟t mind.”It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind? The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a door between us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could-or-should know everything about him.It turned out that getting Jeff‟s permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it.” Then his voice softened, “Mum, I won‟t be living at home again —you know that.” Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no doors closed here — they had all opened up again.As John and I were cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes on Jeff‟s things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever. I looked at the room and, in my heart, I let it go. To hold on would be, as Jeff said, selfish. Now it was time for John, shouldering through the door, his eyes bright with promise of independence, to disappear behind the door. It was time for letting go to happen again.4．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means “______”.A. Jeff needed his right to privacyB. Jeff finally flew out of the houseC. Jeff got tired of those familiar storiesD. Jeff would have less to do with his family5．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. John was moving to live with his brother.B. John was eager to get a room of his own.C. Jeff volunteered to give his room to John.D. Jeff refused to let his brother have his room.6．How did the author feel about her children‟s sense of independence?A. Delighted.B. Jealous.C. Mixed.D. Embarrassed.7．It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. the children did not like to live with adultsB. all her three kids made the author feel depressedC. none of the members in the family thought the same wayD. the author loved and missed the time together with her kidsCAfter more than 3,000 years, a statue of the Egyptian king Amenhotep III has been erected in the city of Luxor after being knocked down by an earthquake.One of the great figures in the story of ancient Egypt, Amenhotep III was a boy king. He became king of Egypt at the age of only 12 years. He ruled at a time when Egyptian civilization was at its very height.Amenhotep III was given statues in his honor and among them this 13-meter-high statue stood on the bank of the Nile until it was knocked down by an earthquake 3,000 years ago. So for 30 centuries, it lay in pieces in the field, more than 80 pieces. Now the statue has been restored and shown to the public. There is another very similar huge statue of Amenhotep III. It was also damaged by that earthquake. And it, too, has been repaired and put back in its place. These two statues stand at the gates of the famous funerary temple in Luxor, which has another two huge seated figures of the kings.And the background for this is just that tourism is very important to the Egyptian economy after what‟s been happening recently. Years of disturbance （骚乱）has hit the Egyptian economy in many ways and any improvement of that economy will need to be helped by the tourist industry. The legacy（遗产）of ancient Egypt is so much, so important to that tourist industry. And the images coming from Luxor today show just how delighted and proud the archeologists and the local people are for what they‟ve seen today.8. What can we learn about Amenhotep III from the passage?A. He was deeply loved by Egyptians.B. He created the brilliant civilization of Egypt.C. He began to rule Egypt at a young age.D. He had a lot of statues built for himself.9. The underlined word in Paragraph 3 means _______.A. put downB. repairedC. given backD. recreated10. According to Paragraph 3, the two statues of Amenhotep III ________.A. were the same size and shapeB. were put back inside the funerary templeC. were knocked down by different earthquakesD. were both standing before a famous temple in Luxor11. How may repairing the statues benefit Egypt?A. It can promote the economic development of Egypt.B. It drives the development of archeology in Egypt.C. It can help to end the serious disturbance in Egypt.D. It encourages people to build great statues in Egypt.DElectronic book publishing has many of the same risks and opportunities as electronic music publishing. By delivering text direct to the reader‟s computer screen, the e-book could cut down costs, and allow creators to deal directly with their audience, by passing（绕开）traditional publishers and traders. But it also raises the possibility of mass piracy（盗版）. Phil Rance, founder and managing director of Online Originals, a London-based e-book publisher, sums it up, “No one wants Napster（在线音乐服务）to happen to books.”Indeed, the most popular MP3 may have put the frighteners on an industry that generally operates some way behind the “bleeding edge”. The Meta Group, a leading US-based marketresearcher, says publishers are far too concerned about protecting their rights, “We believe all the recent legal control over Napster is like putting a finger in a river that is already overflowing. Publishers need to deal with reality and come up with new ways to develop wide electronic distribution, asking the question: How can we use the certainty of wide distribution to our advantage?”At the moment, most publishers would like to limit the use of e-books to the person who bought them, or to the computer used to download them. If that can be done, e-books become just an extra income stream in a publishing industry that would continue to operate the way it does today, according to Terry Robinson, business manager for Adobe‟s e-paper group. “If you‟ve cracked the digital rights aspect, you‟ve cracked the market.” He says.Robert Nichols, Books Director at BOL agrees, “Rights management is absolutely important. Pu blishers just say that …until copyright is secure, we are not going to talk‟.”12. According to the text, what is the similarity of e-books to electronic music?A. They both avoid industry management.B. They both result in piracy.C. They both bring in much money to creators.D. They both lead to price reduction.13. From the text, we can infer that ______.A. wide use of e-books may increase the incomeB. the publishing markets should be brought back to normalC. publishers haven‟t agreed on righ ts management up to nowD. most publishers prefer e-books for the extra income14. What do publishers care most about e-books?A. Price.B. Copyright.C. Quality.D. Design.15. Which of the following can be the best title for this text?A. The E-book —— a New and Big ChallengeB. The E-book —— an Extra Income StreamC. An Economic Rise from E-booksD. Changes Brought by E-books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。

A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereo loud enough for the whole building to hear.On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairs and politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building. The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. The next day all was quiet, and Edward continued to be pleased with himself. The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching band was playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again.Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did with rude neighbors－grin and bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else are you going to do?In Los Angles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years.The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment, she could always move. When you’re in prison, you don’t have that option.4.The man living below where Edward lived was .A.a deaf manB.the owner of the houseC.a tenantD.an old neighbor5.What did Edward always do with rude neighbors?A.Grinning and bearing it.B.Persuading them to stop repeatedly.C.Shouting them to dead.D.Moving away from the rude neighbors.6.The woman killed her neighbor because .A.he ignored her advice repeatedlyB.she could not stand his playing the guitar too loudC.she could not put up with him any longerD.he played the drums too often7.The author writes the last paragraph to prove that .A.being in prison means the loss of freedomB.grinning and bearing it is the best policyC.Edward should follow the example of the womanD.the woman was right to kill her neighbor【答案】4.C5.A6.C7.B【解析】试题分析: 本文是一篇故事，面对噪音扰民的情况，如果礼貌阻止不成功，也应该理性克制，采取暴力的方式将会遗憾终身。

ADear Daughter,As we drove off from Columbia University, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: "Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten." What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about— this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever，so do your best in classes and learn.Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don't be trapped in what others think or say.Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick a few friends and become really close to them —pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success— that I am genuine with people and trust them (unless they do something to lose my trust).Please treasure your college years – make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges. May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.21.What can we learn from paragraph 2?cation is what you learn at school.B.Ability is more important than knowledge.C.Learning and analyzing are equally important.D.Colleges only focus on skills of learning.22.The writer thinks his daughter should . Love,Dad (& Mom)A.ask for his advice on her choiceB. make a lot of friendsC. get along well with her friendsD. spare no effort to succeed23.According to the passage, the writer is a father.A.wise and caringB. strict and warm-heartedC. generous and talentedD. diligent and successful24.Why does the father write this letter?A.To inform his daughter of college life.B. To show father’s love.C. To broaden his daughter’s mind..D. To guide his daughter.BAs the proverb goes, man struggles upwards; water flows downwards. Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans. But downhill isn’t the only way that water moves. A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn’t the type we usually think about.These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of “virtual water”.We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However,92％of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats. These products are shipped around the world.For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water—about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4％goes into the packaging and labeling. In Hoeks tra’s calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator．According to Hoekstra’s new report，dry countries like Israel and Kuwait，both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries，like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used togrow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.25.The proverb in Paragraph One is used to .A.inspire readers to struggle upwardB. tell a law of natureC. introduce the topic of the passageD. summarize the main idea of the passage26.In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside? .A.The United Kingdom and ChinaB. America and IsraelC. The Netherlands and KuwaitD. The Netherlands and America27.What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Benefits of Virtual WaterB. Hidden Uses of WaterC. Crops and Virtual WaterD. Water’s Worldwide Travels28.Where does the passage probably come from?A .A science news report. B. A newspaper advertisement.C. A book review.D. A science fiction story.CThough many Internet celebrities try to shrug off their fame, Yan Mingliang, 27, has dreamed of joining the Internet elite(精英) ever since he entered college.However, luck didn’t favor him. Instead, fame fell int o the lap of his pet dog, Beiji. In early 2015, Yan used his microblog to post two pictures of Beiji lying on the ground, and they went viral on social media. Because he took the photos at a strange angle, it almost looks like Beiji’s body has fallen apart.Finally, Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity, or more accurately, the owner of an Internet celebrity dog. New followers started to flood in, and Yan received hundreds of private messages each day. In less than four weeks, Yan managed to attract more than 20,000 followers. “I am famous now.” Yan thought at that time.However, fame didn’t just bring joy, but also annoyance. Since Beiji was only 3 months old and Yan sometimes had to put him into a cage as a means of “education”, th ere were also private messages from followers who fiercely criticized Yan for being too cruel.“It gradually occurred to me that no matter how frankly you present yourself on social media, Internet users only witness part of your life. And their judgments depend on that partial life story of yours,” said Yan, “They don’t know how hard it is to raise a pet dog when you’re unemployed, Yan explained. They also don’t care about whether the dog they’re enjoying is being pushed too hard.”Yan finally decided to leave his Internet fame behind and focus more on his real life. “The lesson I learned is that, if you can’t live up to your followers’ expectations, it’s better not to be an Internet celebrity,” he said.29.The underlined phrase “went viral” in Paragraph 2 probably means .A.were exposedB. became widely-spreadC. were criticizedD. became viruses30.Why did Yan become famous?A.Because his dog became famous.B.Because he posted two pictures on the Internet.C.Because he took a strange picture.D.Because he became an Internet celebrity.31.How did Yan probably feel at first when he realized he became well-known?A.puzzled and annoyedB. surprised and tiredC. disappointed and annoyedD. excited and joyful32.What can we infer from what Yan said in the last two paragraphs?A.It is hard to raise a pet dog.B.He isn’t fully understood on the Internet.C.He decided to stop making use of his microblog.D.Internet celebrities can’t satisfy their followers.DYou might think going to school during the summer is opposite to what summertime is all about. But for the thousands of Calgary kids with a true love of learning, there’s no better time to have fun with their education, while at the same time getting a rough idea of what their post- secondary future might hold.The University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and SAIT Polytechnic all offer summertime programs that give kids hands-on experience in the labs and other facilities they’ll be working in down the road.“Our bread and butter is Mini University PhD,” says Don McSwiney, spokesperson for U of C Summer Camps. “The idea is to give people a fun learning experience and a hands-on learning experience, which helps kids understand concepts better than learning in a book.” Mini University PhD gets kids into the labs and art studios of the U of C, where they take part in programs such as The Scientist, where they learn about topics like mapping DNA and creating volcanoes. Mini U programs dealing with art and sports are also being offered this year. Minds in Motion motivates kids to explore science, engineering and technology in a hands-on way.At Mount Royal, the MRU Kids program is marking its 20th anniversary. “We have about 18 different programs for children from 6 to 17.” says program administrator Maya Anderson. There's also the ConocoPhillips Youth Science Academy for ages 13 to 17，which focuses more on the academic -- those who want to go into science. More than 3,200 kids are expected to take part in MRU summer programs, which helps to keep kids engaged in learning through the summer in a fun way.SAIT Polytechnic has added more camps for the grades 4 to 6 range, and the list includes topics ranging from Sports Science and SCISpy, to Planet Protectors (energy, engineering, environment).“We focus on building self-confidence in our campers,” says Jaros. “Making them confident in their ability to learn and become reengaged in learning, without the pressure of school.”33.If a student wants to know how to map DNA, he should attend .A.MRU kidsB. The ScientistC. Minds in MotionD. Einstein’s Shampoo34.We can learn from the passage that .A.the campers have great fun in the summertime programsB.the summertime programs merely focus on hands-on learning coursesC.the program of sports has been offered for 20 yearsD.the summer campers are all confident of their future35.The purpose of the passage is .A.to show children’s great desire for knowledgeB.to complain students’ stressful life during the summertimeC.to persuade parents to send their children to more programs in universityD.to introduce summertime programs performed by three Calgary universities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。

At more than 400 meters in length, it is the US‟ most thrillin g water coaster and sends riders spiraling down at speeds of up to 48 kilometers per hour. Plus, with 18 indoor water parks, Wisconsin Dells offers plenty of splashes for water lovers.Tropical Islands ResortLocation: Brandenburg, GermanyThis resort offers the largest indoor water park in the world – at 65,961 square meters. And its indoor pool can accommodate 6,000 visitors at a time. As Europe‟s largest tropical holiday world, Tropical Islands is more than a water park. It‟s a fully functional resort, f eaturing a theme park, an artificial rainforest, a lagoon, a beach, steam baths, saunas and many shops and restaurants. There are also several water slides and other activities that people of all ages can enjoy.Las Cascada Water ParkLocation: Aguadilla, Puerto RicoLas Cascada is well known for its incredible beauty. It is surrounded by tropical mountain forests and situated close to the ocean.The water ride, El Rio Pasivo, carries riders through the whole water park. They can see the mountains and waterfalls around it.Chimelong Water ParkLocation: Guangzhou, ChinaIt is one of the largest water parks in Asia. With its advanced technology, it also has many new aquatic facilities (水上设施) in the industry. One of the park‟s rides offers a tube conveyor that transports riders up a 19-meter-tall tower. The park has implemented a special water treatment system that ensures safe PH levels and removes harmful germs.1. Which of the following parks most likely has the most thrilling water rides?A. Noah‟s Ark.B. Tropical Islands Resort.C. Las Cascada Water Park.D. Chimelong Water Park.2. Which of the following water parks sounds the cleanest?A. Noah‟s Ark.B. Tropical Islands Resort.C. Las Cascada Water Park.D. Chimelong Water Park.3. What is special about Tropical Islands Resort?a. It has natural rainforests.b. It has advanced equipment.c. It‟s the largest indoor water park in the world.d. It has other fun facilities other than a water park.A. acB. cdC. abcD. abdBFrom the end of next year, all shops, market stalls and takeaways in Wales will be obliged to charge up to 15p each for plastic or paper bags. Wales is to become the first part of Britain to ban free carrier bags after deciding that efforts by supermarkets to cut waste have proved ineffective.Jane Davidson, the Welsh Environment Minister, said that the revenue would go to a new independent body, which would spend the money on local environmental projects. She admitted that a small number of people might switch to shops in England, where there are no plans to charge for carrier bags. She said that tough action was necessary. Ms Davidson, a Labor member of the Welsh Assembly‟s ruling Labor-Plaid Cymrucoalition, hopes the ban will embarrass her counterparts in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland into similar action.Wales is planning to use a little-known clause(条款) in last year‟s Climate Change Act, which enables the government to outlaw free bags. Ms. Davidson said: “We want to encourage people to think about what they do. All the other ministers are still signed up to the voluntary agenda. You will see a differ ent message from me.”Last week the media revealed that Tesco had published misleading figures giving the impression that it had met a voluntary target to halve the use of plastic bags in three years. Seven supermarket chains reported last month that the total number of free bags they had issued had fallen by 48 percent to 450 million a month in the three years to last May. The figures masked that Marks & Spencer, the only chain to charge for bags, had made much faster progress than its rivals. It cut bag use by 83 percent after introducing a 5p charge last year. Ms. Davidson said that banning free bags would encourage a wider shift to a less wasteful society. She was considering a charge of between 5p and 15p, but indicated that she favored the upper end of the range.4. Which city is the first part of Britain to ban free carrier bags? _______A. WalesB. EnglandC. ScotlandD. Northern Ireland5. A certain amount of purchase will take place in England because_____________.A. the carrier bags are cheaper thereB. the carrier bags are free thereC. the goods there are cheaperD. the goods there are free6. The government cited a little-known clause in last year‟s Climate Change Act for the purpose of _________.A. arousing public‟s sense of reducing wasteB. reducing the customers‟ resistanceC. promoting charging bags with legal meansD. enabling supermarket to cut waste7. According to Ms. Davidson, she preferred a free bag‟s charge to be ________.5p B. 15p C. between 5p and 15p D. above 15pCHave you ever imagined that one day everything your body needs will come in powder form and all you have to do is add water?Soylent, a drink developed by a group of US engineers, claims it can do just that. It can provide your body with all the nutrients it needs and for as long as you want, you don‟t have to eat any food. This April, Soylent shipped its first batch of products to consumers in the US.Robert Rhinehart is the 25-year-old co-founder and chief executive of the firm selling the drink. He found himself spending too much time and money searching for nutritious meals while he was working in San Francisco.An electrical engineering graduate, Rhinehart began to consider food as an engineering problem. He was quoted as saying by Th e New Yorker: “You need carbohydrates (碳水化合物), not bread.” He began to think that food was an inefficient way of getting what he needed to survive.He took a break from work and taught himself about nutrition and nutritional biochemistry. Eventually, Rhinehart came up with a list of nutrients required for survival. Then, he ordered them on the Internet – mostly in powder or pill form – and poured everything into a blender, with some water. The result, according to The New Yorker article, looked like gooey (粘稠的) lemonade. Then, Rhinehart started living on it. In several interviews, Rhinehart said Soylent changed his life and made him healthier than ever before.Soylent may potentially be good for the environment, too. According to a Guardian article, food production is responsible for 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions (排放). But should we completely replace our daily meals with a drink? Not many people are enthusiastic about the idea.After all, most of us see food as not merely fuel, but also a pleasure. New York Times writer Farhad Manjoo lived largely on Soylent for a week and a half. He declared that “Everything about Soylent screams function, not fun”.Lizzie Widdicombe, who wrote The New Yorker‟s article on Rhinehart, also tried out Soylent. She said: “Meals provide punctuation to our lives: we‟re constantly recoveri ng from them, anticipating them, riding the emotional ups and downs of a good or a bad sandwich. With a bottle of Soylent on your desk, time stretches (延伸) before you, featureless and a little sad.”8. Which of the following is TRUE about Soylent?A. It is perfect to replace daily meals.B. It is a drink developed by a group of nutritionists.C. It has been put on test sales in the US for a very long time.D. It can provide the body with nutrients it needs in the form of powder.9. Why did Robert Rhinehart want to invent Soylent?A. He found that bread didn‟t contain enough carbohydrates.B. He was tired of inefficient traditional ways of fueling his body.C. He discovered the lemonade-like drink made people healthier.D. He got inspiration when he was learning nutritional biochemistry.10. What are the advantages of Soylent according to the article?a. It is tasty.b. It is green.c. It saves time.d. It is better absorbed than common food.A. bcB. bdC. abdD. bcd11. What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?A. Soylent may not become popular among consumers.B. Using Soylent is beneficial for our changeable emotion.C. It is convenient and fun to use Soylent.D. Soylent is strongly opposed by the two reporters.DAn app that does nothing but send a simple notification of “Yo” to recipients is the most popular app right now in the US.The app, named Yo, reached No 1 on the Apple App Store in the US last week, after The Financial Times broke the story on June 18 that the app has received $1 million (6.23 million yuan) in investment funding.Created in just eight hours by Or Arbel, a 32-year-old app developer from Tel Aviv, Israel, Yo claims to be the “simplest and most efficient communication tool in the world”. With a single tap, users can send the word “Yo” to one another in a voice notification (语音提醒) – and nothing else.Arbel said about his app in an interview with The New Yorker that, “It‟s a whole new way of communication. A hundred and forty characters is way too much these days … It‟s lightweight, easy, you don‟t have to open a message – the notification itself is everything you need.”When Yo was launched on April Fools‟ Day this year, the Apple App Store at first rejected it on the grounds that it lacked substance. Many people still see the app as a joke.Arbel calls Yo “context-based (基于语境的) communication” and some people are beginning to “get it”. Jordan Crook, from Tech Crunch, explains why the context of a “Yo” says much more than two little letters: “As with anything, a …Yo‟ can just be a …Yo‟. But you‟ll feel a very real difference betw een a …Yo‟ you get in the morning from a friend and a …Yo‟ you get in the evening from a bored friend. Trust me. And that‟s the magic.”But people don‟t always want to load their “Yos” with meaning. David Shapiro, from The New Yorker, says now when he thin ks about someone, he just “Yos” them instead of spending time starting and carrying on a conversation. He says it‟s a great way of saying: “I‟m thinking about you but I don‟t have anything in particular to say.” Social media constantly demands our time and attention. Not responding to text messages and e-mails can hurt relationships. But, Shapiro says a “Yo” doesn‟t seem to demand a reply. “What a relief,” he says.12. Which of the following is TRUE about the app Yo?A. It is a better type of social media than micro-blogging.B. It was launched on April Fools‟ Day this year as a joke.C. Because it is simple to use, it has become an instant success.D. Though it enjoys great popularity in the US, opinions on it are still divided.13. The underlined word “substance” in Paragraph 5 probably means _____.A. adequate investmentB. necessary technique supportC. the quality of being meaningfulD. the quality of being fashionable14. According to David Shapiro, Yo ______.A. has more meanings than two lettersB. is an efficient way to connect with othersC. is the best way to indicate that you‟re missing someoneD. is useful when you want to start a conversation but don‟t know what to say15.

I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to. I was running late and decided to do itafterwards.After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out DuPont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my $ 10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say. I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $ 10.” He asked me to repeat what I had said, I did; then he looked at me funny, got up and left.I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves.4. The author set the starting date on December 15 to ____.A. help the charityB. honor his motherC. make an explorationD. fulfill a wish for his mum5. In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, ____.A. he was considered ridiculousB. he hesitated for a long timeC. he was forced to donate the moneyD. he had no time to take action6. In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ____.A. he didn’t need other’s helpB. he thought more for othersC. he didn’t care about moneyD. he wanted to get more money7. We can refer that the author was inspired by ____.A. true friendshipB. his own kindnessC. generous donationsD. human’s good natureCOn the banks of Tanzania’s Lake Eyasi lives the world’s last hunter-gatherer tribe (部落) —the Hadza. They don’t grow food, raise animals or build houses. Instead they live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years.Their world is one of complete freedom — something modern society can barely imagine and is unlikely to ever experience, let alone have the skills to stay alive. Text messages and phone calls don’t exist. Nor do cars and electricity. No jobs, timetables, and social structures. No laws, taxes and unbelievably, no money — the closest thing to currency (交易，流通) is the trade for a pair of shorts with a neighboring tribe.We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboons (狒狒), a daily activity for the men. Their land is packed with sharp bushes, poisonous snakes and man-eating lions. But a successful hunting trip is the difference between eating and going hungry.The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey, fruit and meat. Men often hunt in pairs to shoot animals with bows and arrows. The Hadza show us how to track animals, from baboons to snakes to lions. They are hugely skilled with their handmade bows and arrows — we have a go and barely get the arrow to go three feet in front of us.The language of the Hadza is believed to be the oldest still-spoken language known to man. The Hadza don’t have conflict, and have no memory of starvation. Their population never reaches numbers that cannot be supported through hunting or gathering. They never get from their land more than they need.Unlike modern-day office workers, the Hadza enjoy an extraordinary amount of free time. Their “work” — hunting for food —takes up around five hours of their day. They’ve been in sucha state of peaceful existence for thousands of years.8. We can learn from the text that the Hadza_______.A. lead a very primitive (原始) lifeB. live on traditional agricultureC. have their own system of currency（流通）D. show a lot of interest in new technology9. Which of the following can describe the Hadza’s environment?A. Stressful.B. Comfortable.C. Exciting.D. Dangerous.10. The relationship between the Hadza and nature_______.A. is going wrongB. is full of conflictC. is in perfect harmonyD. is changing all the time11. Why does the author come to visit the Hadza?A. To study their native language.B. To get to know their way of life.C. To learn survival skills from them.D. To persuade them to protect animals.DChildren are hooked on computers. Some spend up to six hours a day on their gadgets. They can be playing games live with others elsewhere in the world, updating their status on social media, texting friends or looking for the latest app to download to their tablets or smart phones.This worried Martin Strott, headmaster of the Old Hall School in Wellington, in the west of England. He was so concerned that he challenged his students to take part in a week of ‘digital detox’. Strott told the local newspaper, the Shropshire Star, that he encourages the pupils to have a good knowledge of the computer from a young age, but is concerned that too much screen time will affect the development of their social skills. He said that this over-reliance on digital devices “erodes family time and they’re missing out on messages from body language and facial expressions from those around them”.According to the headmaster, the parents are happy with the movement. But what about the children? Nine-year-old Fred usually spends around two hours on his gadgets at home after school and aro und 12 hours on weekends. For him, the digital detox experience was “really hard”. Fred spent it playing outside, especially basketball. He said that he’ll probably engage in different activities from now on but he did miss his phone and online games.The idea of keeping children away from their tech for a while to prevent ‘addiction’ is not particularly new. There have been similar movements in the US. But are they effective in the longrun? Well, even if kids go back to their gadgets, the hope is tha t at least they’ll think about how they use their time.What about you: do you spend too many hours hooked on your digital devices?12. According to the passage, which of the following is not the reason why children are hooked on computers __________.A. developing their social skills by having some online conversations.B. searching for the newest app and install them to their tablets or smart phones.C. playing games live with people from other placesD. releasing some new information about their status on social media13. Which of the following words can replace the word “erodes” in Para 2?A. enrichesB. savesC. adjustsD. ruins14. According to the article, where else can you find digital detox movements?A.

ATaj Mahal, Agra, IndiaAs many as 28 different varieties of precious stones were used to decorate the outside of the Taj Mahal. Construction took around 20 years. The building, which was made from white marble from the quarries(采石场) of Rajasthan, appears pink in the morning, white in the day and golden in the moonlight.Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, Akashi Strait, JapanIt took 10 years to construct the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. It connects the city of Kobe, on Japan’s mainland, with Iwaya on Awaji Island. Before it opened, the only way to get between the two cities was by ferry. However, the waterway was at the mercy of severe storms and when two ferries overturned in 1955, killing 168 people, public anger convinced the government of the need for a bridge. It's the longest suspension bridge in the world, with a length of 1,991 meters. Panama Canal, PanamaMore than 4. 5 million cubic yards of concrete were used in the construction of this canal’s locks and dams. The Panama Canal is a 47-mile long waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The earth and rubble dug to make way for it was enough to bury Manhattan to a depth of four meters. A series of locks allows ships to pass through the water. Each lock door weighs 750 tons and each lock fills with 52 million gallons of water to accommodate the 15,000 ships that use the canal every year.Grand Canyon Skywalk, ArizonaThe Skywalk’s foundation is strong enough to support 71 million pounds , Located 1,219 meters above the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon's Sky Walk consists of one million pounds of steel and 83,000 pounds of glass. It was the creation of Las Vegas businessman David Jin, whoapproached the Hualapai Tribe with the idea of a glass walkway over the Grand Canyon in 1996. The Sky walk was assembled on site.1.The Japanese government decided to build the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge ___________A in the year of 1955B following public opinionC to show its national powerD to develop Japan’s economy2.The Grand Canyon Skywalk is probably a real challenge for those who __________A are airsickB hate rock climbingC have a fear of heightD feel ill traveling in boat3.In which section of a book can the text probably be seen?A ScienceB AgricultureC TechnologyD GeographyBI am an English dictionary. I can still remember the day my ex-owner bought me. He had stood in front of the shelf for around half an hour before finally picking me. Originally, he chose my neighbor. But because she had some ink on the cover, he put her down and chose me instead.I may sound arrogant (傲慢的) . But please forgive me. I am so proud of my vocabulary. With 100,000 entries and 300,000 examples, I think no scholar can be more knowledgeable than me. My only weakness is that I can’t speak. But that is not my fault. I was not designed to speak in the first place. My ex-owner was supposed to read the phonetic symbols (音标) clearly printed beside each word, which were also my selling point. I should have been respected but have ended up lying next to a piece of used toilet paper inside the rubbish bin.It is all because of the electronic dictionary. He is the bad guy because he takes advantage of my one weakness. And I just don’t understand why he can be so slim. He also has about 100,000entries but 450,000 examples! But I know this was not the reason why my ex-owner was attracted, for he was not a very diligent (勤奋的) student and seldom read the examples listed. The main reason was that the bad guy had so many games in him. My ex-owner always pretended to be working hard while actually he was playing games.My ex-owner put me on his bookshelf because of my awesome English name “Advanced English Dictionary”. He wanted people to think that he was an advanced learner. I wanted to tell him that it would be better if he hid the comic books standing next to me. But, you know, I ca n’t speak. I stood there for years. I was so bored. So I talked to the comic book next to me. Undernormal circumstances, I wouldn’t have talked to him because I was educated and he was not. But who else could I choose? He told me that my ex-owner had read him once only and then put him there. I was upset because he had never read me from page one to page 1,000. Was I not a better book than the comic book? I wanted to challenge his honesty but before I did so, he was thrown away.I give up. My pages are absorbing waste water. There is no way people will use me again. Suddenly, I want to talk to the comic book. Would he talk to me if we met?4. Why does the dictionary think that the electronic dictionary is the “bad guy”?A. I t contains more words and examples.B. It can actually pronounce the words.C. It has a smaller size.D. It has many games.5. The dictionary thinks that its ex-owner put it on the bookshelf because he ______.A. thought that it could match the comic booksB. wanted his friends to study EnglishC. just wanted to show offD. had to use it sometimes6. What was the dictionary’s attitude toward the comic book standing next to it?A. It wanted to make friends with him.B. It respected him.C. It envied him.D. It hated him.7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. A Dictionary Is Replaced with an Electronic OneB. Students Seldom Use DictionariesC. A Dictionary and a Comic BookD. The Experience of a DictionaryCA new study finds that our brains are wired to make music-color connections depending on how the music makes us feel. Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No.1 in G Major” is most often associat ed with bright yellow and orange, whereas his “Requiem in D Minor” is linked to bluish gray, the findings revealed.US researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, enlisted nearly 100 subjects fora study on music and color. With 37 colors, the UC Berkeley study found that people tend to pair faster-paced music in a major key with lighter, more vivid, yellow colors, whereas slower-paced music in a minor key is more likely to be teamed up with darker, grayer, bluer colors.“Surprisingly, we can p redict with 95 percent accuracy how happy or sad the colors people pick will be based on how happy or sad the music is that they are listening to,” said lead author and UC Berkeley vision scientist Stephen Palmer.In three experiments, the subjects listened to 18 classical music pieces that varied in pace (slow, medium, fast) and in major VS minor keys. In the first experiment, participants were asked to pick five of the 37 colors that best matched the music to which they were listening. Separately, they rated each piece of music on a scale of happy to sad, strong to weak, lively to dull, and calm to angry.Next, the research team plans to study particiapants in Turkey where traditional music employs a wider range of scales than just major and minor. “We kno w that in Mexico and the US the responses are very similar,” Palmer said. “But we don’t yet know about China or Turkey.”8. What can we know about Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No. 1 G Major”?A. It is fast in pace. B It is slow in pace.C. It makes us feel upset. D It makes us feel optimistic.9. What did the US researchers find from the result of the new study?A. There are colors that do not match any music.B. People tend to connect happy colors to slow-paced musicC. There is a one-to-one connection between music and color.D. People nearly do the same in picking colors for different music.10. How did the researchers do the research?A. By making predictions.B. By researching journals.C. By conducting experiments.D. By studying famous musicians.11．According to the text, the research mainly deals with __________A. how colors or music influence our emotionsB. how emotions affect music-color connectionsC. why we have different feelings towards musicD. why we have different feelings towards colorsDWitchcraft（巫术）was not made a capital offence in Britain until 1563 though it was disapproved by Pope Innocent VIII in 1484. From 1484 until around 1750, some 200,000 witches （女巫）were burnt or hanged in Western Europe.Most supposed witches were usually old women, and always poor. Any who were unfortunate enough to be an old woman with broken teeth, sunken cheeks and sockets and a hairy lip were assumed to possess the “Evil Eye”. It was more the case if they also had a cat. Many unfortunate women were taken away on this sort of evidence and hanged.Witch fever held East Anglia for 14 terrible months between 1645—1646. A man called Matthew Hopkins, an unsuccessful lawyer, contributed a lot! He became known as the “Witchfinder General”. He had 68 people put to death in Bury St. Edmunds alone, and 19 hanged at Chelmsfor in a single day. After Chelmsford he set off for other countries. Much of Matthew Hopkins theories of telling a witch were based on Devil’s Marks. He took a small mark to be a Devi l’s Mark and he used his “needle” to see if these marks were insensitive to pain. His “needle” was basically a trick so the unfortunate women never felt any pain.There were other tests for witches. Mary Sutton of Bedford was put to the swimming test. With her thumbs tied to opposite big toes she was thrown into the river. If she floated she was guilty; if she sank, innocent. Poor Mary floated!Though many of the acts againsts witchcraft were put to an end in 1736, witch hunting still went on. In 1863, a suspected male witch was drowned in a pond in Headingham, Essex and 1945 the body of an elderly farm laborer was found near the village of Meon Hill in Warwickshire. His throat had been cut and his body was pinned to the earth. The murder remains unsolved; however, the man was said, locally, to be a male witch. It seems that belief in witchcraft has not entirely died out.12.A female witch was often found to be ________A. a young ladyB. a lucky womanC. an ugly womanD. a blind girl13. Matthew Hopkins can be best described as __________A. kind and smartB. tricky and mercilessC. successful and niceD. famous and fortunate14. Why did people throw Mary into the river?A. To take her life.B. To tell if she was a witchC. To test her swimming skills.D. To prove that she was guilty15. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Witches are still badly treated all over the world.B. Witches were terribly treated in the European history.C. Some people still have been using magic in daily lives.D. There have always been people believing in witchcraft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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

广东省东莞市松山湖莞美学校2016届高三上学期12月月考英语试题及答案

松山湖莞美学校2016届高三上学期12月月考英语试题第一部分阅读理解（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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AI’ve been in the taxicab business for thirty-five years, and I know there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxicab drivers ha ve to be tough fellows to be able to work in New York. You’ve got to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day these days, so people get the wrong impression that they are bad.Actually, taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will behave as honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week that a taxi driver turns in money or jewels that people leave in their cabs. If they weren’t honest, you wouldn’t be reading those stories in the papers.One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of packages that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her. It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her. I didn’t get as much as “thank you”. Still I felt good b ecause I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. Then I came to this country where I had a family and bought my own cab. Life hasn’t been too easy at time s, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day.When I started driving a cab, Park Avenue was mostly a bunch of coal yards. Hoofer’s Brewery was right next to where the Waldorf-Astoria is now. I did pretty well, even in those days. In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks.I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity (正直), etc. But it doesn’t make any difference what they call it; it’s still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by.1. Why do people think taxicab drivers are bad according to the passage?A. They have been cheated by taxicab drivers before.B. Taxicab drivers are dishonest.C. Most taxicab drivers are tough fellows.D. Some taxicab drivers did not return their lost properties.2. How did the author return the diamond ring to the lady?A. By giving her a call and visiting her.B. By sending her a letter asking her to claim the ring in person.C. By advertising in the papers.D. By going back to where she got off and traced her down for almost 2 days.3. The underlined phrase “a rainy day” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.A. a day when it rainsB. a time when a family has financial problemsC. a day when the author can’t drive a taxiD. a time when the author has trouble with drunks4. How does the author feel as a taxicab driver?A. Proud and satisfied.B. Annoyed and stressful.C. Disappointed and discouraged.D. Unwilling and regretful.BWorking women make up nearly half of the U.S. workforce, and 51 percent of professional workers, like doctors, lawyers, nurses and accountants, are female. While climbing the career ladder can be rewarding, it often comes with one big downside: weight gain!New research published this week in the International Journal of Obesity shows that working women are more likely to be overweight, and the more you work, the more poun ds you’re likely to pile on. Like many women, I work... a lot! As a self-employed nutrition communications specialist, I sit at my desk, in front of a computer, for hours on end. Sitting alone is one of the worst things you can do for your health, and it’s directly linked to being overweight and increased fatness, so the fact that women in the workforce gain weight isn’t that surprising. If you work, you have less time to move around. Obesity（肥胖症）researchers are revealing many other ways that employment is harmful to your diet and waistline.In the International Journal of Obesity study, some 9,276 Australian women aged 45-50 had their body weight and employment status monitored for two years. Results? Those who worked more than 35 hours were likely to gain weight compared to those who worked fewer hours or were out of the workforce. What’s more, the more hours a woman worked in a week, the more weight she gained.The authors of the Australian study attribute weight gain among working women to inactivity, lack of time for food preparation, more use of prepared foods, high levels of stress, lack of sleep and consuming more alcohol. I’ll also add in travel, meals eaten out and working at night as other factors thatI can find to make balancing work with a healthy diet a challenge.5. The text above is probably taken from ______.A. a sports reportB. a fashion journalC. a health and fitness magazineD. an advertisement post6. A woman who works as an accountant is more likely to ______.A. gain more weightB. have more time to move aroundC. work a full time jobD. keep a balanced diet7. Which is NOT the cause of working women weight gaining according to the passage？A. Lacking time for food preparation.B. Using more prepared food.C. Consuming too much alcohol.D. Taking part in more activities.8. What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Less activity leads to fat.B. Ways of gaining weight.C. Effects of weight gaining.D. Working women more likely pile on pounds.CThere’s a “culture of walking and texting” on the Utah Valley University campus, according to conversations with students, but that’s not the main reason Matt Bambrough, the creative director at UVU, came up with an idea to paint a “texting lane” on a staircase leading up to the Wellness Center.According to Bambrough, it’s first and foremost a design project—the texting lane was atongue-in-cheek（戏谑）reference to the college-wide epidemic（流行）of kids walking around with their faces buried in their iPhones.“You have 18–24-year-olds walking down the hall with smart phones. You’re almost bound to run into someone somewhere; it’s something we’re dealing with in this day and age,” Bambrough said. “But preventing colli sions isn’t the reason we did it—we did it to arouse the students’ attention. It’s meant to be there for people to look at and enjoy.”Still, when talking to Utah Valley students, it sounds like texting and walking can be quite the annoyance.Robbie Poffenberger, an assistant news editor at the UVU Review, said that most collisions he witnesses aren’t human-on-human; rather, it’s generally human-on-inanimate-object. “They walk into barriers—chairs on the side of the hallway, or railings,” Poffenberger said, “I’m sure they’re fairly embarrassed.”9. What do we learn about the “texting lane” from the text?A. It is a special campus culture in Utah Valley University.B. It is used to encourage the campus culture.C. It is painted on a staircase leading to everywhere.D. It is popular with students in universities.10. According to Bambrough, ______.A. the “texting lane” is to attract students’ attentionB. we don’t have to face the problem in this ageC. what they did is to prevent the collisionsD. students enjoy looking at each other11. How do students feel about texting and walking?A. They are worried.B. They are annoyed.C. They are puzzled.D. They are surprised.12. What would most students run into from what Robbie said?A. Students in the same direction.B. Teachers opposite to them.C. Barriers on campus.D. Grass on campus.DAt Bristol Zoo Gardens you can enjoy an amazing world of animals, all within our award-winning 12 acre gardens. With over 400 species and nine animals houses under cover, it’s one of the best days out in Bristol whatever the weather. We suggest you allow 2-5 hours for your visit to really take in everything we have to offer.By visiting Bristol Zoo you will be directly contributing to the conservation of endangered species and habitats.

ADear Daughter,As we drove off from Columbia University, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell youall that is on my mind.College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: "Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten." What I mean by that is thematerials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the abilityto analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about — this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever ， so do your best in classes and learn.Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don't be trapped in what others think or say.Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Picka few friends and become really close to them —pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success — that I am genuine with people and trust themPlease treasure your college years – make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges. May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.Love,Dad (& Mom)21.What can we learn from paragraph 2?cation is what you learn at school.B.Ability is more important than knowledge.C.Learning and analyzing are equally important.D.Colleges only focus on skills of learning.22.The writer thinks his daughter should_____________.A. ask for his advice on her choiceB. make a lot of friendsC. get along well with her friendsD. spare no effort to succeed23. According to the passage, the writer is a _________ father.A. wise and caringB. strict and warm-heartedC. generous and talentedD. diligent and successful24. Why does the father write this letter?A. To inform his daughter of college life.C. To broaden his daughter’s mind..B. To show father ’s love.D. To guide his daughter. BAs the proverb goes, man struggles upwards; water flows downwards. Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans. But downhill isn’tthe only waythat water moves. A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn the type’t we usually think about.These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of“ virtual water”.We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However,92％of the waterused by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. Herecently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things likecrops and meats. These products are shipped around the world.For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-literof the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water — about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients( 原料 ).Another 4 ％ goes into the packaging and labeling. In Hoekstra ’s calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad ，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator ．According to Hoekstra ’s new report，dry countries like Israel and Kuwait ，both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries ，through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries ，like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also getor produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.25. The proverb in Paragraph One is used to_________.A. inspire readers to struggle upwardB. tell a law of natureC. introduce the topic of the passageD. summarize the main idea of the passage26. In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside? .A. The United Kingdom and ChinaB. America and IsraelC. The Netherlands and KuwaitD. The Netherlands and America27. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Benefits of Virtual WaterB. Hidden Uses of WaterC. Crops and Virtual WaterD. Water ’Worldwides Travels28. Where does the passage probably come from?A .A science news report. B. A newspaper advertisement.C. A book review.D. A science fiction story.CThough many Internet celebrities try to shrug off their fame, Yan Mingliang, 27, has dreamedof joining the Internet elite( 精英 ) ever since he entered college.However, luck didn ’tfavor him. Instead, fame fell into the lap of his pet dog, Beiji. In early 2015, Yan used his microblog to post two pictures of Beiji lying on the ground, and they went viral on social media. Because he took the photos at a strange angle, it almost looks like Beiji’s body has fallen apart.Finally, Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity, or more accurately, theowner of an Internet celebrity dog. New followers started to flood in, and Yan received hundredsof private messages each day. In less than four weeks, Yan managed to attract more than20,000 followers. “I am famous now. ”Yan thought at that time.However, fame didn ’tjust bring joy, but also annoyance. Since Beiji was only 3 months old and Yan sometimes had to put him into a cage as a means of “education ”, there were also private messages from followers who fiercely criticized Yan for being too cruel.“It gradually occurred to me that no matter how frankly you present yourself on social media,Internet users only witness part of your life. And their judgments depend on that partial life storyof yours, said” Yan, “They don ’tknow how hard it is to raise a pet dog when you ’re unemployed, Yan explained. They also don ’tcare about whether the dog they ’re enjoying is being pushed too hard.”Yan finally decided to leave his Internet fame behind and focus more on his real life.“Thelesson I learned is that, if you can ’tlive up to your followers ’expectations, it ’s better not to be an Internet celebrity, ”he said.29. The underlined phrase “went viral ”in Paragraph 2 probably means______.A. were exposedB. became widely-spread30.Why did Yan become famous?A.Because his dog became famous.B.Because he posted two pictures on the Internet.C.Because he took a strange picture.D.Because he became an Internet celebrity.31.How did Yan probably feel at first when he realized he became well-known?A. puzzled and annoyedB. surprised and tiredC. disappointed and annoyedD. excited and joyful32.What can we infer from what Yan said in the last two paragraphs?A.It is hard to raise a pet dog.B.He isn ’tfully understood on the Internet.C.He decided to stop making use of his microblog.D.Internet celebrities can ’tsatisfy their followers.DYou might think going to school during the summer is opposite to what summertime is allabout. But for the thousands of Calgary kids with a true love of learning, there ’ s no bette have fun with their education, while at the same time getting a rough idea of what theirpost-secondary future might hold.The University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and SAIT Polytechnic all offersummertime programs that give kids hands-on experience in the labs and other facilities they ’ll beworking in down the road.“Our bread and butter is Mini University PhD, ” says Don McSwiney, spokesperson for U ofC Summer Camps. “ The idea is to give people a fun learning experience and a hands-on learningexperience, which helps kids understand concepts better than learning in a book. Mini University ”PhD gets kids into the labs and art studios of the U of C, where they take part in programs such asThe Scientist, where they learn about topics like mapping DNA and creating volcanoes. Mini Uprograms dealing with art and sports are also being offered this year. Minds in Motion motivateskids to explore science, engineering and technology in a hands-on way.At Mount Royal, the MRU Kids program is marking its 20th anniversary. “ We have about 18 different programs for children from 6 to 17. ”says program administrator Maya Anderson.There' s also the ConocoPhillips Youth Science Academy for ages 13 to 17 ， which focuses moreon the academic -- those who want to go into science.

AAmazing University Campuses Worth visitingOxford University: It’s hard to imagine a more picturesque university than Oxford. The oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford dates back to 1167, when King HenryⅡbanned English students from attending the University of Paris. On the campus, Gothic building housing classrooms, dormitories and dining halls stand out against the quad’s verdant lawn, where you can imagine Percy Bysshe Shelley, Oscar Wilde and W.H Auden lounging（慵懒地躺着）between classes. Oxford’s circular Radcliffe Camera is a masterpiece of Palladian architecture and one of the world’s most stunning libraries. Harry Potter fans touring the campus should pay attention to see where scenes at Hogwarts were filmed.Cambridge University: Cambridge University is characterized less by a proper campus than a collection of colleges, medieval churches, courtyards and wisteria-filled gardens. The town of Cambridge originated in Roman times, and the university dates back to 1209. The exact founding story is unknown, but the version told to Cambridge students recounts that some Oxford scholars chased out after the accidental shooting of a peasant fled to Cambridge, where they established a new university. The famous university is shrouded（笼罩）in mythology and funny stories of students.Trinity College: Roaming the green campus of Trinity College, you’ll likely feel connected to the great literary tradition there. Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker and Samuel Beckett all studied at Trinity, and their statues stand proudly in the library. Most of the university’s buildings were constructed in the 18th and 19th centuries, but Queen ElizabethⅠestablishedTrinity College in 1592 with the aim of “civilizing ” Dubliners. In the historic Examination Hall—designed by architect Sir William Chambers--- you can marvel at the impressive18th-century interiors and the organ, which was recovered from Spanish ship.1. What can we learn from paragraph1?A. Oxford is the oldest university.B. Oxford has an impressive library.C. Oxford was first built in 1209.D. Harry Potter studied in Oxford University.2. When was Cambridge University first built?A. In Roman times.B. In 1167.C. In the early 13th century.D. In the 18th and 19th centuries.3. Who once attended Trinity University according to the passage?A. W.H. Auden.B. Sir William Chambers.C. Queen ElizabethⅠ.D. Bram Stoker.BIn seventh grade, I decided to try out for my school musical. I only made it through the first verse before the drama teacher stopped me. It goes without saying that my Christmas carol didn’t get me any role.Am I embarrassed? No. Not just because it was ten years ago, but also because it’s such a great story to share. Why? I think the main reason is that admitting to mistakes makes you easier to relate to. Interestingly enough, science confirms this theory.Researchers have conducted numerous studies and have concluded that when someone makes a mistake or acts in a clumsy way, they are found to be more likeable. In other words, if you’re competent at something and then you mess up, it shows your human side. This allows others to connect and relate to you, which in turn makes them like you more.Growing up, I was the type of student who had to get straight A’s and the type of athlete who always had to perform at the top of the game. The problem was that my standards were so ridiculously high that I was never happy. It was only when I learned to let go and forgive myself for my mistakes that I truly felt relaxed.When one of your close friends or family members makes a mistake, are you quick toforgive and forget? Sadly, many of us often express more sympathy for others than ourselves. With each mistake comes a lesson, and if you can learn to let go and forgive yourself, you will be better equipped to handle life’s challenges going forward.More importantly, if you’re constantly worried about looking silly, you’ll never be able to get promotion at work. Even if you make a fool of yourself, it isn’t the end of the world. Think about it: what’s the worst that can happen? In many cases, the reward often outweighs the risk.4. What does t he underlined part “this theory” probably refer to?A. A mistake makes you more likeable.B. An embarrassed person tends to act clumsily.C. Competent people always mess up in life.D. It’s not embarrassing to share mistakes.5. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The author is proud of her work.B. The author was once a perfectionist.C. The author always made some mistakes.D. The author felt ashamed of her high standards.6. What message is delivered in the last two paragraphs?A. Making a fool of yourself when necessary.B. Being sensitive when it comes to forgiveness.C. Viewing mistakes as learning opportunities.D. Not being hesitant to confirm your mistakes.7. What does the author want to tell us in the passage?A. It’s okay to make mistakes.B. Everyone may make mistakes.C. It’s time to forgive yourself.D. How to forgive our mistakes.CHere’s something to think about the next time you put a cigarette to your lips: the skina round those lips is going to look older and tighter. You’re also more likely to get bags under your eyes sooner.Researchers in Ohio studied the physical differences between the faces of nonsmokers and their twins who smoked and found confirmation of a long-held belief: smoking does indeed ageyou.The study, by researchers at the Department of Plastic Surgery, looked at 79 sets of twins between the ages of 18 and 78 at the yearly August gathering of twins in Twinsburg, Ohio. Each person had his or her picture taken by a professional photographer. The photos were divided into two kinds. The first group was 45 sets of twins in which one smoked and the other didn't. The other group was made up of smokers, but in each set, one twin had smoked at least five years longer than the other.Two doctors and a medical student studied photographs of the twins and assigned scores to their facial features. In the case of the first group, the judges said the smoking twin appeared older 57% of the time. For the second set, the longer-smoking twin looked older more than 63% of the time, meaning the aging differences could set in after just five years.“This study confirms some of what was believed in the most scientific way possible,” said Dr. Bahman Guyuron, who led the resea rch. “With longer follow-up, we believe that every smoking twin might have exhibited a difference in aging.”The study looked at other aging factors --- alcohol consumption, stress and sunscreen use, for instance --- and found they were similar in these se ts of twins. It didn’t deal with changes in the twins’ living environment or diet，which was a defect of the study.“Smoking reduces the collagen（胶原蛋白）formation, results in collagen reduction and reduces the skin circulation,” Guyuron said. “Additionally, nicotine reduces the skin thickness. All of these reduce skin elasticity（弹性）and cause premature aging.”8. How did the researchers get the result?A. By experiment.B. By conversation.C. By questionnaire.D. By comparison.9. W hat’s the author’s attitude towards smoking?A. Opposed.B. Supportive.C. Pessimistic.D. Optimistic.10. Which of the following is closest to the underlined word “defect” in Paragraph 6?A. Change.B. Shortcoming.C. Finding.D. Case.11. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Smoking makes you look older.B. Smokers have thicker skin.C. Non-smokers have older faces.D. Smoking causes tighter lips.DA new paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science claims that dolphins recognize their own names when called.Vincent Janik, one of the authors of the study and a biology researcher at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, said that the name is actually a specific type of dolphin pronunciation that the animals respond to. “It is a kind of high voice that has a little bit of a tune,” he told ABC News. These sounds are referred to as “signature voices”.Janik and his colleague, Stephanie King, sailed along the east coast of Scotland looking for bottlenose dolphins. Though they are often seen to live in warm tropical waters, Janik says that wild dolphins aren’t impossible to be found in the United Kingdom. “There are maybe about 150-180 of them in our country,” he said.After spotting and recognizing a dolphin in the wild, the researchers would play one of three different sounds: an adjusted sound recording of that dolphin’s signature voice, a signature voice of one of its species, or the signature voice of a completely foreign dolphin.They played th e dolphin’s own signature voice and the animal would come up and approach the boat and whistle back. However, the dolphin didn’t respond to the other two types of voices and mostly kept about its business. It may seem strange that the dolphins don’t react much to the voices of other dolphins, but Janik says that copying a dolphin’s signature voice just right is part of their social group.“This copying only happens between closely connected animals, like between mothers and their youngs,” he said. Dolphins only need to respond to their own signature voices, since any socially connected animal will have learned how to copy it. “It says to them, ‘I know that this voice is a friend.’”12. According to Janik, which is true?A. Dolphins can’t recognize their own names when called.B. Bottlenose dolphins only live in warm tropical waters.C. Wild dolphins are possible to be found in the U.K..D. Dolphins use low voice to call others’ names.13. Which of the following sounds didn’t the researchers play?A. A signature voice of one of its species.B. The signature voice of a foreign dolphin.C. The signature voice of a mother dolphin.D. A recording of that dolphin’s signature voice.14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5 and 6 about dolphins?A. They are strange.B. They are thoughtful.C. They are busy.D. They are social.15. Where is the passage most likely to be taken from?A. A science fiction.B. A science magazine.C. A medical magazine.D. A detective novel.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。

After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your lette rs will not be answered.”Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces! ”No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.4.

What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stories about a Helpful PersonB. Special Letters of EncouragementC. Popularity of Special LettersD. Relationship between Writers and PrisonersCSuperman Returns, X-Men, The Fantastic Four and Iron Man have been on the list of superhero movies since the dawn of the 21st century. The success of them has gone beyond all expectations, with six of the top 12 highest box office grosses (票房收入) being held by superhero movies. There are many theories as to why these films have become and remained so popular over the last decade.Some experts consider most movies to be forms of escapism (逃避现实). They are traditionally meant to be a combination of education and entertainment, and superhero films tend heavily toward the latter element. Watching a superhero movie is a great chance to relax and not think about stress or difficult things in your life.Historically, during times of war, films have become a hotbed of patriotism (爱国主义). Superheroes are charged with bringing peace, fighting violently if necessary, and trying to maintain a normal life. Some audience members may relate to that concept, either on a personal level or in relation to their ideas about war and any current world situations. Moreover, most superheroes serve as a hope-inspiring figure, an image of someone who can save us all from dark and difficult times. Superhero movies promote the ideas of peace, safety and freedom.Aside from the global and psychological reasons, superhero movies are just a lot of fun. Since the success of Spiderman, the Hollywood film industry has begun throwing huge amounts of money at the films, to great effect. Most of the big-earning superhero films of the 21st century are written, acted, and technically produced by the best minds in the film business. In 2008, The Dark Knight was released, making back nearly its entire production budget of $185 million dollars in the first weekend.Superhero movies are many things to many people. To comic book lovers, they are the realization of their favorite worlds. To those feeling the strain of economic, personal, or national problems, they are a welcome escape for a few hours. Grab your popcorn and your chocolate and look for a good seat in the middle of the row, because it looks like superhero films will continue to have a wild ride.8. The author lists some superhero movies in Paragraph 1 in order to show that ________.A. superhero movies are shot in the 21st centuryB. superhero movies express the idea of escapismC. superhero movies make more profit than other moviesD. superhero movies get popular over the last decade9. People like superhero movies during times of war because __________.A. people can be saved from dark and difficult timesB. people can gain positive energy from superhero moviesC. people can learn how to fight against other countriesD. people can know more about the current world situations10. According to the passage, we can learn __________.A. Watching superhero films is a way of entertainment.B. Comic book lovers don’t dare to face the reality.C. Superhero films are a new form of education.D. People who love their country watch superhero films most.11. What’s the best title for the passage?A. How much profit do superhero movies bring?B. What makes superhero movies successful?C. Why are superhero movies so popular?D. Which superhero movies are the most famous?DService Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complains. Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints, in fact, that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips.According to a representative of Service Foods, complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard, low quality meats. As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store, the meat can age out too much. The natural flavor disappears, and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor. According to Service Foods, complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats. Kids may not have the words to describe why they don’t like the meats, but they’re certainly willing to express their displeasure. By serving meats from Service Foods, complaints can be reduced. Service Foods meats are all natural and organic, meaning the meats have no chemicals or water or colorings that can change the taste. And the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting, so they won’t taste strange to your children.If you’re facing different types of complaints, Service Foods may still be able to help you. Some families have mealtime boredom. The same meals, served in the same way, week after week, can be incredibly boring and hard to look forward to. When it comes to these complaints, Service Foods has the answer right on the web. Just go to http: //www. and you'll find a long list of recipes to try. Some of these recipes are made in demonstration format, so you can watch the video and get step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the meals.

almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own．I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy when he was sharing a room with his younger brother，Robot．He said，"Mum，Can I have a room of my own？I could use Jeff's．He won't mind．"It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest．But would he mind？The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks．As close as we were，though，the time came when Jeff needed a doorbetween us．His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family．I no longer could﹣or﹣should know everything about him．It turned out that getting Jeff's permission was easy．He said，"Of course，Mum，it would be selfish of me to hold on to it．"Then his voice softened，"Mum，I won't be living at home again﹣you know that．"Behind his glasses，his eyes were lit with all the love．There were no doors closed here﹣they had all opened up again．As John and I were cleaning the room，I fixed my eyes on Jeff's things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever．I looked at the room and，in my heart，I let it go．To hold on would be，as Jeff said，selfish．Now it was time for John，shouldering through the door，his eyes bright with promise of independence，to disappear behind the door．It was time for letting go to happen again．4．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means""．A．Jeff needed his right to privacyB．Jeff finally flew out of the houseC．Jeff got tired of those familiar storiesD．Jeff would have less to do with his family5．Which of

ancient Egypt，Amenhotep III was a boy king．He became king of Egypt at the age of only 12years．He ruled at a time when Egyptian civilization was at its very height．Amenhotep III was given statues in his honor and among them this 13﹣meter﹣high statue stood on the bank of the Nile until it was knocked down by an earthquake 3，000years ago．So for 30centuries，it lay in pieces in the field，more than 80pieces．Now the statue has been restored and shown to the public．There is another very similar huge statue of Amenhotep III．It was also damaged by that earthquake．And it，too，has been repaired and put back in its place．These two statues stand at the gates of the famous funerary temple in Luxor，which has another two huge seated figures of the kings．And the background for this is just that tourism is very important to the Egyptian economy after what's been happening recently．Years of disturbance （骚乱）has hit the Egyptian economy in many ways and any improvement of that economy will need to be helped by the tourist industry．The legacy（遗产）of ancient Egypt is so much，so important to that tourist industry．And the images coming from Luxor today show just how delighted and proud the archeologists and the local people are for what they've seen today．8．What can we learn about Amenhotep III from the passage？A．He was deeply loved by Egyptians．B．He created the brilliant civilization of Egypt．C．He began to rule Egypt at a young age．D．He had a lot of statues built for himself．9．The underlined word in Paragraph 3means．A．put downB．repairedC．given backD．recreated10．According to

disturbance in Egypt．D．It encourages people to build great statues in Egypt．12．Electronic book publishing has many of the same risks and opportunities as electronic music publishing．By delivering text direct to the reader's computer screen，the e﹣book could cut down costs，and allow creators to deal directly with their audience，by passing（绕开）traditional publishers and traders．But it also raises the possibility of mass piracy（盗版）．Phil Rance，founder and managing director of Online Originals，a London﹣based e﹣book publisher，sums it up，"No one wants Napster（在线音乐服务）to happen to books．"Indeed，the most popular MP3may have put the frighteners on an industry that generally operates some way behind the"bleeding edge"．The Meta Group，a leading US﹣based market researcher，says publishers are far too concerned about protecting their rights，"We believe all the recent legal control over Napster is like putting a finger in a river that is already overflowing．Publishers need to deal with reality and come up with new ways to develop wide electronic distribution，asking the question：How can we use the certainty of wide distribution to our advantage？" At the moment，most publishers would like to limit the use of e﹣books to the person who bought them，or to the computer used to download them．If that can bedone，e﹣books become just an extra income stream in a publishing industry that would continue to operate the way it does today，according to Terry Robinson，business manager for Adobe's e﹣paper group．"If you've cracked the digital rights aspect，you've cracked the market．"He says．Robert Nichols，Books Director at BOL agrees，"Rights management is absolutely important．Publishers just say that‘until copyright is secure，we are not going to talk'．"12．According to the text，what is the similarity of e﹣books to electronic music？A．They both avoid industry management．B．They both result in piracy．C．They both bring in much money to creators．D．They both lead to price reduction．13．From the text，we can infer that．A．wide use of e﹣books may increase the incomeB．the publishing markets should be brought back to normalC．publishers haven't agreed on rights management up to nowD．most publishers prefer e﹣books for the extra income14．What do publishers care most about e﹣books？A．Price．B．Copyright．C．Quality．D．Design．15．Which of the following can be the best title for this text？A．The E﹣book﹣﹣a New and Big ChallengeB．The E﹣book﹣﹣an Extra Income StreamC．An Economic Rise from E﹣booksD．Changes Brought by E﹣books．二、（每小题10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．选项中有两项为多余选项．16．How to Get MotivatedYou must think positively no matter how big a challenge is．If you think positively，you will feel better and will be able to overcome challenges in life．Furthermore，meet an optimistic person and you will notice how motivated he is towards life．（16）On the other hand，negative thinking will only cause more depression in your life．（17）Don't be jealous of those who are successful around you．Instead，take inspiration from their success stories．This will make you motivated to get what you want．Moreover，you can also read books that are written by inspirational and successful personalities．There is a famous quote that reads，"A healthy body leads to a healthy mind．"If your mind is healthy，you will think positively．（18）Whether you are working out in the gym or going for a long walk，make sure that you incorporate an exercise plan in your daily routine．（19）Therefore，it is important to break your routine and do something different．Whether you go on a vacation or learn a new skill，it is important to break the monotony（单调）in your daily life．Human beings are extraordinary individuals who are able to complete the hardest tasks and achieve the impossible．It is important to get out of your comfort zone and try something different．（20）A．Therefore，it is important to exercise regularly．B．Keeping yourself motivated is not a difficult task．C．You might lose motivation by doing the same things over and over again．D．One of the best ways to motivate oneself is to get inspired by others'success．E．Remember，positive thinking gives you motivation to achieve what you want．F．By doing so you will get motivated and your attitudes towards life will be positive．G．Do things that make you happy and find inspiration in possibly everything you see．三、完形填空（每小题1.5分，满分1.5分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项．21．I've always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed．but others had their own ways of showing care．What I remember most

nest．"以及"His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family．I no longer could﹣or﹣should know everything about
