The most fascinating arrangement is to make models in person.If you would like to come, you’d better learn about the history of Chinese architecture in advance.I am sincerely looking forward to your presence. Please rely soon.Yours truly,LiHuaI was standing by my car when a man with broken English suddenly appeared. He said if he could he would help me. I said I thought there was a gas leak because I smelled it. He got under the car, and 2 minutes later, he slid out and said it was all fixed. He asked me to start it up and see if it worked well. Actually, at first, I was a little skeptical. But I did as he said. To my delight and relief, my car did indeed roar to life and had power.I thanked my rescuer and asked him if I could pay him for his help. He shook his head instantly and politely refused my offer. I thanked the nice man again and gave him a big hug. My heart was full and said he was a blessing in my life. His face lit up and had a beautiful smile. My sister and I were both teary eyed and extremely grateful. There are so many stories of rudeness and unkindness to others but I have been blessed many times by kind and helpful people.英语听力原文Text 1W: I won the first prize in the National Writing Contest and I got this camera as an award!M: It’s a good camera! You can take it when you travel.Text 2M: What would you like for dessert? I think I’ll have apple pie and ice cream.W: The chocolate cake looks great. But I have to watch my weight. You go ahead and get yours.Text 3W: The queue is so long. The movie is going to start in 15 minutes!M: It’s the weekend... I guess we just have to wait...W: Oh, look! They opened another counter.M: That’s great. Let’s queue over there!Text 4W: Our telephone bill goes very high this month!M: How much is it? I’ve made several calls to the USA.W: No wonder! The international phone call costs about $100. And, the domestic call costs just $30.Text 5M: Excuse me, do you have change for a ten-dollar note? I need to pay for the parking meter.W: I’m sorry. But I think you can get it through the money changer, in the shopping center across the street.Text 6W: So how’s our presentation about the restructuring of the company coming along?M: Fine. I’ll start with a brief review of the reasons for the changes. After that, I’ll outline the new company structures. Then I’ll hand it over to you to discuss the timeline and summarize and will take q uestions together at the end. Anything else?W: Oh, yeah, we should let the staff know the channels of communication. Do you know who they can contact or direct questions about these changes?M: Yes.

What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me — one I participate in.W: What sport did you choose?M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing. But there’s a problem. As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods, I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. But that’s not part of my paper. Now I don’t know how to explain t hat feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together.W: Then you’ll have to include that in your point.Part of your point you knew beforehand, but part you discovered as you wrote. That’s common, right?M: Yeah, I guess so...Text 8M: Miss Jones, could you tell me more about your first job?W: Yes, certainly. I was a marketing consultant, responsible for marketing ten U.K. hotels.

But first, tell me, have you ever traveled on a luxury train? The Orient Express, for example. W: No, I haven’t, but I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That’s why I’m very interested in this job.Text 9M: And where is this?W: These photos are from the Taj Mahal in India. We went there about ten years ago for our honeymoon. M: It was really romantic!W: Yeah. The Taj Mahal was a very romantic place. The guide told us there is a famous love story behind this building that all Indians learn in school.

She is only 10 years old, but she has been playing the sport for four years, and she loves it.“The one thing I like most about tennis is the game. It just really gets my attention more than anything I do. It just brings up the fire in me.”Andrea lives in Washington, D.C.She is one of around 900 children who use the free services of the Washington Tennis and Education Foundation.The Foundation was set up in 1955. It gives children from 8 to 18 years old a chance to play tennis, and learn school-related and other skills.Audra Bell works with the Foundation. She says the lives of children change when they decide to join the program. “They learn discipline and they learn mental toughness (坚韧) and all of the things that tennis teaches you as a whole. It’s really amazing to see.”The group’s president, Rebecca Crouch-Pelham, continues. “You’re on the court, you’re playing singles, you’re by yourself and you’re relying on yourself.”。

Party lovers.BBorn Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler Nov. 9 ， 1914 ， the Austria native took an early interest in the performing arts, but seemed equally fascinated with science and engineering. In 1937 ， she signed a contract with Hollywood's Metro-Gollwyn-Mayer studio under the name Hedy Lamarr. Her first film was a great success and soon Lamarr was a household name.During her Hollywood years,Lamar was known for her knowledge on aviation （航空） design and theory. But it wasn't until 1942 that Lamarr's innovative thinking inspired a creative invention. In cooperation with composer George Antheil,Lamarr designed a frequency-hopping （跳频） system that minimized the jamming of radio signals.During World War Ⅱ Hedy's mother was trapped in Vienna. It was hard for Hedy to help her mother to get to America because every American ship was getting blown up by the Nazis. So she worked on inventing a remote controlled torpedo （鱼雷） so advanced that it would be able to hunt down and blow up every Nazi sub marine in the Atlantic, thus securing safe passage to the US. To make sure the Nazis couldn't detect the radio signal for her torpedo, she created a "secret communication system "that couldn't be detected.The "secret communication system" employed changing radio frequencies to prevent enemies from interpreting messages. Multiple radio frequencies were used to broadcast a radio signal, which changed frequencies in an apparently random manner. To anyone listening, it would just sound like noise. But the signal would be clear if both the sender and receiver hopped frequencies at the same time.Although the technology was never used in wartime,it ended up playing a critical role in communication methods throughout the decades. Many believe that Lamarr's invention made technology like Wi-Fi,GPS and Bluetooth, as well as devices like cellphones, possible.4. What does the underlined words "the jamming of radio signals" in paragraph2 refer to ？ ______A. Detecting the radio signals.B. Sending the radio signals.C. Receiving the radio signals.D. Boosting the radio signals.5. What led Lamarr to invent a new communication system ？ ______A. Her passion for science.B. Her interest in performing.C. Her contract with a studio.D. Her desire to help her mother out.6. What does paragraph 4 focus on ？ ______A. Showing the application of the system.B. Interpreting how the system functioned.C. Stressing the significance of the system.D. Explaining how the system was invented.7. What can we infer about Hedy Lamarr from the test ？ ______A. She was very ambitious.B. She was a productive actress.C. She was completely devoted to science.D. She contributed to communication technology.CKids spend a lot of time looking at screens ： And some parents worry. But a new study argues against the anxiety parents may feel."Parents are hearing a message that social media, digital technology use is causing very serious and harmful problems like depression,like suicide （自杀）related behaviors. " Candice Odgers,professor of psychological science at the University of California said. "But the idea is that if you shut off social media,you could in fact be making a situation worse. Parents are really being sent a message that is not supported by anything scientifically."Odgers and her colleagues looked at the screen-related behavior of 400 public school students in North Carolina aged 10 to 14. The researchers found that the kids spent between almost five hours to seven hours per day on their devices ：That's a lot of hours but the researchers didn't find connection between the amount of time that young people spent online using digital technologies and mental health signs like depression,or anxiety. They found that young people who sent more text messages actually reported better mental health.This was a small association, but it reflects what other people have found ： the people who are very connected offline, who use technology in the positive ways to stay connected, often are more connected online as well and experiencing better mental health.So why the fears about screen time ？ Odgers argues that the methods for previous studies may have led to false conclusions. When given a survey,the kids were often asked to recall,over the past six months,"How often are you online ？" and "Have you ever felt depressed ？ " And the relation between those two things has been used to spread a lot of fear around the connection between social media use and things like depression, yet 99.5% of the reasons that kids differ in their depression is due to something other than the time they spend online.8. The new study is mainly about the relation between ______ .A. kids screen time and their eyesightB. kids' screen time and their depressionC. social media use and kids' mental healthD. Internet environment and kid' mental health9. What does Odgers think of the message parents received ？ ______A. It misleads people.B. It makes much sense.C. It's confirmed by science.D. It reveals parents' ignorance.10. What kind of kids bear better mental health ？ ______A. Kids spending less time online.B. Kids staying unconnected offline.C. Kids shutting off social media.D. Kids positively using digital technology.11. What's the main purpose of the text ？ ______A. To present a social phenomenon.B. To challenge a common belief.C. To draw attention to kids' health.D. To encourage more screen time.DUpright farming is a hugely promising agricultural technique that aims to produce more food to meet the growing population on our limited planet. Techniques include growing in vertical frames （垂向框架） or even in high-rise farms while moving farms into urban areas, and producing nutritious crops without topsoil.Vertical farmers plant crops in nutrient-rich water, so plants can be raised without soil. They also grow plants using water from fish tanks, or using nutrient water mist systems that reduce water use by more than 90per cent. which was a technique developed by NASA as a way for astronauts to grow in space and feed themselves without soil while preserving precious water supplies. All of these soil-less growing techniques use less or no chemicals, and recycle water with les waste. Plants can be sown and harvested year-round, free from bad weather conditions such as drought or flooding."This is the farming of the future," said Paul Myers,co-founder of vertical farming enterprise Farm Urban. "Chemical-free and moving from the traditional horse and tractor agriculture that is steadily destroying the planet to a more sustainable approach."The global vertical farming market is expected to be six times bigger in 2026 than it is today. This is fueled in part by rising demand for organic, chemical-free foods, but also by countries looking to increase their food security and cut down on imports --the UK for example uses more than 70 per cent of its land mass for agriculture but imports more than half of its food.As the vertical farming industry expands, it is worth noting that it has limitations -- it only works for some crops, and urban locations can be expensive.12. Where will upright farming be popular in the future ？ ______A. In cities.B. In plains.C. In deserts.D. In the countryside.13. What do the techniques mentioned in paragraph 2 have in common ？ ______A. Waste-free.B. Nutrient-rich.C. Soil-saving.D. Waterproof.14. Why is upright farming promising ？ ______A. The trade routes are not secure.B. Organic food is increasingly popular.C. The economic benefit is substantial.D. Imports are becoming more difficult.15. What can be the best title for the text ？ ______A. Upright Farming ： How To Save Soil And WaterB. Upright Farming ： What To Plant In The New WayC. Vertical Farming ： Raising Agriculture's PotentialD. Vertical Farming ： Lowering Environmental Impact二、阅读七选五（本大题共 5 小题，共 12.5 分）How to Choose the Right University Degree for You Choosing the right university degree is perhaps one of the biggest decisions that you'll make in your life.

More and more people will ski in the power factory．6. Where do the skiers ski in the power factory?A. On man-made snow．B. On man-made ice．C. On plastic grass．D. On real sand．7. The underlined part “it might be all 'downhill' from here" means that________.A. they will soon reach their final goalB. they will soon draw many visitorsC. they will produce more electricityD. they have difficulties reaching the goalCKids ages 6 to13 inCape Town,South Africa, really do dig learning at school! With the help of the Earthchild Project, which is offered in schools in two townships, students make worm(蠕虫) farms. The worms break down food waste and make the soil richer. Kids grow seedlings(幼苗) in containers and learn about the importance of good nutrition.The school program also offers yoga(瑜伽). Teachers find that the exercises help students focus better. The students enjoy Earthchild activities. “The children gets so excited”, says teacher Vuyelwa Rola.“The society we are in has a lot of noise. When students are taking part in the Earthchild Project, they feel calm.”Director Janna Kretzmar came up with the idea for the project in 2005. She read about schools inIndiathat involved kids in yoga and learning outside the classroom. She developed the Earthchild Project to offer similar activities inCape Townschools.“We hope the Earthchild Project can help students find solutions to all the challenges they are facing in the world today,” Kretzmar said. “The best place to create change is with the youth, through education.”The Earthchild Project combines schoolwork with hiking, gardening, healthy living, and yoga. “We need more than just math and science to become happy, healthy, inspired, and active citizens of our communities,” says Kretzmar. In some communities inCape Town, children live in poverty. They must walk long distances to get clean drinking water. Life is hard. But according to the Earthchild Project’s Carly Appleby, the project works to give hope to every child. “Students who have hope,” she says, “aim for bigger goals”.8. What do students benefit from yoga?A. It helps them calm down.B. It helps them concentrate.C. They can learn some living skills.D. They can learn about the importance of nutrition.9. What are students’ attitude towards the Earthchild Project?A. Uncaring.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Negative.10. What do you know about the Earthchild Project?A. It was founded in 2005.B. It only offers outside activities.C. The idea came up by Vuyelwa Rola.D. It is aimed at helping students find solutions to challenges.11. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Hard Life inSouth Africa.B. Students’ school life inCape Town.C. Hope from Earthchild Project inCape Town.D. The differences between traditional lessons and Earthchild Project.DThe far side of the moonis a strange and wild region, quite different from the familiar and mostly smooth face we see nightly from our planet. Soon this rough space will have even stranger features: it will be crowded with radio telescopes.Astronomers are planning to make the moon's distant side our newest and best window on the cosmic(宇宙的) dark ages, a mysterious era hiding early marks of stars and galaxies. Our universe was not always filled with stars. About 380,000 years after the big bang, the universe cooled, and the first atoms of hydrogen formed.Gigantic hydrogen clouds soon filled the universe. But for a few hundred million years, everything remained dark, without stars. Then came the cosmic dawn: the first stars flickered, galaxies came into existence and slowly the universe's largescale structure took shape.The seeds of this structure must have been present in the darkage hydrogen clouds, but the era has been impossible toprobeusing optical(光学的) telescopes—there was no light. And although this hydrogen produced longwavelength(or lowfrequency) radio emissions,radio telescopes on Earth have found it nearly impossible to detect them. Our atmosphere either blocks or disturbs these faint signals; those that get through are drowned out by humanity's radio noise.Scientists have dreamed for decades of studying the cosmic dark ages from the moon's far side. Now multiple space agencies plan lunar missions carrying radiowavedetecting instruments—some within the next three years—and astronomers' dreams are set to become reality.“If I were to design an ideal place to do lowfrequency radio astronomy, I would have to build the moon,”says astrophysicist Jack Burns of the University of Colorado Boulder. “We are just now finally getting to the place where we're actually going to be putting these telescopes down on the moon in the next few years.”12. What's the purpose of building radio telescopes on the moon?A To research the big bang. B. To discover unknown stars.C. To study the cosmic dark ages.D. To observe the far side of the moon.13. What does the underlined word “probe” in Paragraph 3 possibly mean?A. Explore.B. Evaluate.C. Produce.D. Predict.14. Hydrogen radio emissions can't be detected on Earth because ________．A. there was no light in the dark agesB. they cannot possibly get through our atmosphereC. gigantic hydrogen clouds no longer fill the universeD. radio signals on Earth cause too much interference15. What can we infer from theunderlined sentence in the last paragraph?A. Scientists have to rebuild the moon.B. We will finally get to the moon's distant side.C. The moon is a perfect place to set up radio telescopes.D. A favorable research environment will be found on the moon.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

This piece was started shortly after he arrived there. The hospital garden provided much inspiration for the artist during his stay there. Originally, the flowers in this work were painted purple but the red pigment (色素) faded over time and has now turned blue.

He'd rafted down the Arroyo Seco, a river in central California, before. But this year was different. Heavy snow and spring rains had turned the usually manageable falls into something fierce. And this year, instead of his friends, Whitson's companions were his wife, Krystal Ramirez, and his 13-year-old son, Hunter. As the three of them approached the falls late in the afternoon of the third day of their camping trip, Whitson could tell from the increasing roar of water in the narrow canyon that they were in serious trouble. T here was no way they 'd be able to rappel down（绕绳下降）the rocks as planned.“The water was just gushing through there with tremendous force, ” recalls Whitson.They could wade to the shore, but would anyone find them there? They had no mobile phone service, and they hadn' t seen a single person in the past three days.As he con sidered what to do, Whits on hit on a bit of luck-he heard voices coming from the other side of the falls. He yelled, but the sound of the rushingwater drow ned him out.We have to get these people a message, Whits on thought.Then he spotted his gree n Nalge ne water bottle. Whits on grabbed it and carved “Help! ” on it. Ramirez also reminded him that he had a pen and paper, which she'd brought to play games with, in his backpack. Whits on knew it was a long shot . But he scrawled “We are stuck here at the waterfall. Get help please! ” and pushed the note into the bottle, throwing it over the waterfall perfectly.“ All right, that ' s all we can do, ” Whits on told Hun ter.It took 30 minu tes to n avigate back upstream to the beach where they madea fire. With no reas on able expectati on that their message in a bottle would find its way to anyone they spelled out SOSin white rocks. As the evening wore on, they placed a headlamp with a flashing light on a ledge （岩石突出咅B） . Then, just after midni ght, they heard a helicopter hoveri ng above them. Whits on ran over to the headlamp and started flashing it at the helicopter. He, Ramirez,and Hun ter were wav ing and holleri ng whe n they heard the magic words: “ This is Search and Rescue. You have bee n found. ”It was a mome nt of pure happ in ess as the three chatted with the officers who had rescued them. Together, they marveled at the unlikelihood of it all. Two men had see n the water bottle in the water. Whe n they picked it up, they noticed the writing on it -“Help! ”.A few days after n ews of the rescue broke, one of the hikers con tacted Whitso n.That' s when he learned the story. There were actually two little girls hiking with the men that day. It was the girls who first spotted the bottleand swam to get it. Whits on is pla nning on hav ing a big barbecue to meet the hikers-a nd tha nk them.4. Which was NOT the trouble the Whitso ns faced?A. The water falls were fierce.B. There was no mobile pho ne service.C. All of them were not experieneed in rafting.D. They had to rappel dow n the rocks.5. Which is the order that the Whitsons helped themselves out?①They spelled out SOS on the rocks.②Whits on squeezed the note “ Get help please ” into the bottle.③Whits on yelled to the other side of the falls.④Whits on carved “ help ” on his gree n bottle.A. ③④②①B.②③④①C. ①④③②D. ④③②①6. What does the un derl ined part in paragraph 6 mean?A. It is a fantastic idea.B. It ' s a big challenge.C. It ' s a wil d attempt.D. It ' s a long exploration.7. Whits on is pla nning to have a big barbecue ____ .A. to celebrate their survivalB. to show gratitude to the hikersC. to have a family unionD. to meet and tha nk the rescue officersC篇On eof the fun dame ntal things we really love in cities is order. Order mea ns balanee, symmetry （对称）and repetition: the same thing happening again andaga in, and the left side matchi ng the right side.Order is one of the reasons why so manypeople love Paris. But most cities are a complete mess. Whe n it's a mess, it seems like no one is in charge. And that's worry in g. It's horrible whe n everyth ing is jumbled up: a pitched roofnext to a flat roof; 3 simple bare box next to a messy car park; high-rise towers that look as if they've been placed at random, like teeth in a yawning mouth.We gen erally have a desire to straighte n things out. And whe n we can't, it's frustrat ing. The same urge is there whe n we look at cities. Often, it's not skyscrapers that wemind in the city. It's skyscrapers that have been planted there without planning, like they are increasingly appearing in London, while New York or Chicago shows the ordered way that we love.However, you have to keep someth ing else in mind. Un reas on able order can be just as much of a problem. Too much regularity can be soul-destro ying. Too muchorder feels rigid and alien. It can be indifferent, cold, severe, unkind,or even cruel. So the ideal we're seeking is variety and order.This is the idea in a square in Tele in the Czech Republic, where every house is the samewidth and height. But with in that ordered partem, every house has bee n allowed freedom at the level of form and color. We're perfectly in the middle betwee n chaos and bori ngn ess here. And that's what huma ns adore.So as a gen eral rule: too much mess, and it's off-putt ing; but too much simple order, and it ' s boring.8. What does the underlined phrase "jumbled up ” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Out of order.B. Caus ing worriesC. In good order.D. At ran dom.9. Which of the following cities docs the author dislike?A. New Y ork.B. Lo ndon.C. Paris.D. Tele.10. What's the author's opinion about skyscrapers?A. They should be made lower.B. They should have pla nts on top.C. They should be well pla nn ed.D. Their nu mbers should be limited.11. Accord ing to the author, an ideal city features . _____A. bala nee and repetiti onB. free forms and rich colorsC. the same height and widthD. both order and varietyD篇New Character from Sesame StreetAs a meansof offering comfort to kids from every walk of life, SesameStreet is introducing a new character who lives in a foster （寄养的）home.Karli, the foster kid, and her "for —now" parents, Dalia and Clem, are all being shown in a series of SesameStreet videos, storybooks, and interactive activities to offer support to children, foster parents, and foster care providers.Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind the show, says they are starting their movements as part of their Sesame Street in Community program. It provides free, easy-to-use resources for community providers and caregivers on a range of topics, including tough issues like family homelessness and traumatic experiences, to help them support children as they explore the world of foster care, and they provide simple,approachable tools to help children feel safer.The number of children in foster care in the UShas grown for five continuous years. In response to the growing need for resources to serve children in foster care, Sesame Workshop partnered with national experts on foster care.
