Writing.D. Listening.BOn December 14, 2017, we were sorry to hear that Yu Guangzhong, a famous poet died of illness in Taiwan. He was born in Nanjing in 1928. His mother's hometown is in Wujin, Changzhou. So he called himself a southern person.Later, he went to Taiwan. In 1952 he graduated from Taiwan University. Then hegraduated from University of LOWA in 1959. He taught at Soochow University, Normal University, Taiwan University, and Chengchi University. He got a lot of prizes in literature(文学)，such as Wu San lien Literature Prize, China Times Award, Golden Tripod, National Arts Award and all the major Awards in Taiwan. He is famous both in Taiwan and in Mainland.He was in Taiwan, but he always missed his hometown in Mainland. In one of his poems Nostalgia(乡愁), showed his feeling of homesickness. Let's enjoy his famous poem Nostalgia.NostalgiaWhen I was young, But later on,Nostalgia was a tiny, tiny stamp. Nostalgia was a low, low grave. Me on this side, Me on this side,Mother on the other side. And my mother inside.When I grew up, And at present,Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket. Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait. Me on this side, Me on this side,Bride on the other side. Mainland on the other side.29. Yu wrote the poem Nostalgia because he .A. wanted to find his boat ticketB. wanted to show his love to his brideC. missed his mother in WujinD. missed his hometown in Mainland30. From the second paragraph, we can learn about .A. Yu's achievementsB. Yu's school lifeC. Yu's homesicknessD. Yu's working time31.In the poem, "stamp", "ticket", "grave" and "strait" represent the poet's .A. wishes for Taiwan and the MainlandB. favourite things in different timesC. different feelings about homesicknessD. good ideas for coming back homeCThe idea of being fashionable is not a modern phenomenon(现象).Rather, it hasbeen around for centuries, but it has only been in the modern age that fashion trends(趋势)really took off. There are many reasons for this happening, and when the reasons are all put together, it is easy to see why high fashion has become a serious industry.Many centuries ago, cloth-making was a time-consuming(耗时的)process. Once cloth was made by machine, a large amount of cloth could be produced in a short time, this brought the price of clothing down. As the price dropped, it became easier for people to buy more than a few suits of clothes. With these changes, it didn't take long for designers to begin to experiment with styles, and these styles could be sold not only to the wealthy, but to those in the middle class as well.In effect, this combination(结合)of dropping prices and the spreading out of moderate(适度的) wealth gave birth to the fashion industry we know today. Women especially were interested in trying new styles, and designers were willing to experiment with clothing to find out what would sell. In addition to this, fashion magazines began to highlight trends and spread the message about high fashion. Finally once the fashion industry became settled(稳定的)，there was no turning back. Clothing today will continue to change, and new fashion trends will be born. Quite simply, fashion is here to stay.32. When did fashion trends take off the most?A. In ancient times.B. In the modern age.C. In the last few centuries.D. None of the above.33. Which statement is true according to this article?A. High fashion is not a serious industry.B. Cloth was always made cheaply.C. The price of clothing went up with the help of the machine.D. Moderate wealth began to spread.34. What's the main idea of this passage?A. High fashion came about when people needed more suits.B. Women try new styles only because they have more money.C. The fashion industry was born because of dropping prices and greater wealth.D. Designers today experiment much less than they did in the past.DWhat makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt(收据)?Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that decides the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was thinking about what to give to my father: My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion(蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired(赋予灵感)me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift.I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe. My dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that influenced my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling(卷曲的)black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.35. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was .A. doing shoppingB. having a debateC. leaving for WyomingD. reading a message36. The underlined word it in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by .A. the fatherB. the authorC. Edgar Allan PoeD. William Blake37. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show how to design images for gifts.B. To suggest making gifts from one's heart.C. To explain how computers help create gifts.D. To describe the gifts the author has received.第四部分词汇检测(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分)根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。

They are beautiful but dangerous to people. Here we will introduce four types of wild cats.African Golden Cat—This is a small cat compared to the other wild cats. It's double the size of a home cat and it can be found in the forests of Central and West Africa. African g o lden cats, also known as Profelis Aurata, catch birds and small monkeys for food. They come in all kinds of colours including black, brown and grey.Cheetah—This is the fastest land animal, with speed reaching up to 70 miles per hour. Cheetahs weigh about between 110 and 140 pounds and they're widely known for the spotted coat. In a zoo a cheetah can live for nearly 20 years, but it lives for 12 years while inthe wild in America.Lion—The lion is the king of the grassland, known to be the most powerful animal in Asia and Africa. A male lion is 4 feet tall, 8 feet long and weighs about 450 pounds. A female lion, on the other hand, weighs about 300 pounds. Male lions have manes(鬃毛) that often grow fuller and darker as they grow older.Wildcat—The wildcats live in parts of Arabia, Asia and Europe. Wildcats also look like home cats and it's actually difficult to tell the difference between them. They mainly prey on small birds, which are their main food.There are also many other types of wild cats. These are just the most common.

With the little money he had, he left England for South Africa. I wrote to him several times, but I received no replies. Perhaps, he never got my letters. I don't know. But as time passed, I worried more and more about him.”“Mr Quatermain, will you please tell me everything you know about him？”“Very well，” I said, “but you will be the first person to whom I have told what I know.

Sir Henry read the writing: I am Silvestri. I am in a cave north of the mountain. I am dying of hunger. With my own eyes I have seen the diamonds in Solomon's treasure cave behind the white Death. If you do find it, you will be a rich man!I took back the map and put it in my pocket.“It is an amazing story，” Sir Henry said.“Yes，” I said. “But I have not invented it.” I stood up and left angrily.

The seeds fell from their clothes onto the ground. Since then，dandelions have spread all over.Most people believe that dandelions are weeds. They do not wantthem in their gardens. But some people think that dandelion flowers arepretty. And others think that dandelions taste good. They cookdandelion leaves or put them into a fresh salad. The leaves must bepicked before the flowers come out or they will not taste good. Some people make dandelion flowers into wine.Dandelions do not die easily. If the winter is not very cold，their leaves may stay green. When the spring arrives，their flowers come out. Each night their bright yellow flowers close up. When the sun shines the next day, they open up again. Dandelion flowers are very unusual. They do not have to get pollen(花粉)from another dandelion flower in order to form seeds. So after several days，the yellow flower turns white and soft. A tiny brown seed forms at the bottom of each white petal(花瓣).When the wind blows，the petals float away. Each white petal carries a seed away. This lets the dandelions spread their seeds all over. New dandelions grow where the seeds land. ( )31.

People were amazed at how young Alexandra was，but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.Today，Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.( )34.

They are beautiful but dangerous to people. Here we will introduce four types of wild cats.African Golden Cat—This is a small cat compared to the other wild cats. It's double the size of a home cat and it can be found in the forests of Central and West Africa. African g o lden cats, also known as Profelis Aurata, catch birds and small monkeys for food. They come in all kinds of colours including black, brown and grey.Cheetah—This is the fastest land animal, with speed reaching up to 70 miles per hour. Cheetahs weigh about between 110 and 140 pounds and they're widely known for the spotted coat. In a zoo a cheetah can live for nearly 20 years, but it lives for 12 years while inthe wild in America.Lion—The lion is the king of the grassland, known to be the most powerful animal in Asia and Africa. A male lion is 4 feet tall, 8 feet long and weighs about 450 pounds. A female lion, on the other hand, weighs about 300 pounds. Male lions have manes(鬃毛) that often grow fuller and darker as they grow older.Wildcat—The wildcats live in parts of Arabia, Asia and Europe. Wildcats also look like home cats and it's actually difficult to tell the difference between them.

Soon after this, our father died. I am the elder son, and I got everything.I wanted my brother to apologize to me. He didn't, so I gave him nothing. With the little money he had, he left England for South Africa. I wrote to him several times, but I received no replies. Perhaps, he never got my letters. I don't know. But as time passed, I worried more and more about him.”“Mr Quatermain, will you please tell me everything you know about him？”“Very well，” I said, “but you will be the first person to whom I have told what I know. Your brother wanted to find King Solomon's Mine s. That is why he left for Inyati.”“King Solomon's Mines！” Sir Henry screamed. “I have never heard of it. Where are they？”“There is a tale about them.

The next day he said, ‘When we meet again, I shall be the richest man in the world.’”“A week or more passed, Jose Silvestri came back but he was ill badly. I took him into my tent. The next morning when I awoke, he was lookin g at the mountains. ‘There it is，’he cried, ‘but I shall never get there. I am dying.’”“He took out an old map to me. ‘This map has been in my family for hundreds of years，’he said. ‘It will make you the richest in the world.’ Then he died.”I took the map out of my pocket and passed to Sir Henry. Sir Henry read the writing: I am Silvestri. I am in a cave north of the mountain. I am dying of hunger. With my own eyes I have seen the diamonds in Solomon's treasure cave behind the white Death. If you do find it, you will be a rich man!I took back the map and put it in my pocket.“It is an amazing story，” Sir Henry said.“Yes，” I said. “But I have not invented it.” I stood up and left angrily.
