With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could bee better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage.But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as being one of history’s most romantic characters.Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others wa nt to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.61. Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?A.

The last of the three hundred gold medals has been awarded and the flags of the winners have been raised for the last time.The final event is the closing ceremony. This occasion is always sad and happy at the same time. It is a sad occasion because the tremendous excitement is over, and it will not happen again for four years. Those who have made friends will have to say goodbye, perhaps for ever. It is also a happy occasion because the petition is over and the athletes can really show their friendship for one another.The closing ceremony is rather like the opening. But now the Olympic flame goes out and the Olympic flag, with its five rings, is lowered. The person who closes the Games calls upon the youth of the world to meet again in four years’ time. The scoreboard lights up with the name of the city for the next Games and the band starts to play. Then the celebration starts.All the athletes try to be at the closing ceremony. They have forgotten all their fears and worries. It does not matter whether they have done well or not. All the teams walk round the stadium together. Everybody is laughing and joking. The band plays and people start to dance.After that, everybody in the Village clears up and gets ready to leave. Everyone is hunting for souvenirs. People exchange track suits, hats, running vests and badges. There is a last chance to take photographs and getaddresses of new friends. Then each team starts its journey home.68.

There is one extra heading which you do not need.A.Learn how to relaxB.The right amount of stress is a necessityC.Share your stressD.Take care of yourselfE. Try physical activitiesF. Be a participant72._____________Stress es from mental or emotional activity and physical activity. It is unique and personal to each of us. You need stress in your life. Without stress, life would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavour, challenge, and opportunity to life. Too much stress, however, can seriously affect your physical and mental peace. A major challenge in this stress-filled world of today is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.73. ____________When you are nervous, angry, or upset, release the pressure through exercise or physical activities. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve that “uptight” fe eling, relax you, and turn the frowns (皱眉) into smiles. Remember, your body and your mind work together.74.____________You are special. Get enough rest and eat well. If a problem is beyond your control and cannot be changed atthe moment, don’t fight the situation. If you are irritable (急躁的) and tense from lack of sleep or if you are not eating correctly, you will have less ability to deal with stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun, or you should ask your doctor for help. Be good to yourself.75.____________One way to keep from getting aboard, sad, and lonely is to go where it’s all happening. Sitting alone can make you feel disappointed. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, get involved. Offer your services in neighbourhood or volunteer organizations. Help yourself by helping other people. Get involved in the world and the people around you, and you’ll find they will be attracted to you. You will be on your way to make new friends and enjoy new activities.76.____________The best way of avoiding stress is to relax. Unfortunately, many people try to relax at the same pace that they lead the rest of their lives. For a while, forget your worries about time, productivity, and “doing right”. You will find satisfaction in just being, without struggling hard. Find activities that give you pleasure and that are good for your mental and physical well-being. Read a good book or listen to beautiful music to create a sense of peace. Forget about always winning. Focus on relaxation, enjoyment, and health.第Ⅱ卷(24%)IV.

But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BWhat acts of kindness will make us the happiest, and who tends to benefit the most? A newly-published review of decades of kindness research provides some answers.In this paper, researchers analyzed the results from 126 research articles looking at almost 200, 000 participants from around the world. The studies they chose measured well-being in various ways, including both mental and physical health. Some were experiments, where people did a kindness practice to observe its effects, while others just surveyed people about how kind and happy they were.As expected, people who were kind tended to have higher well-being. Lead researcher Bryant Hui wasastoundedthat the relationship wasn't stronger than it was, but he was still encouraged by the results.One thing Hui and his colleagues found was that people who performed random, informal acts of kindness, like bringing a meal to a sad friend, tended to be happier than people who performed more formal acts of kindness, like volunteering in a soup kitchen.The researchers also found that people who were kind tended to be higher in "eudaimonic happiness"(a sense of meaning and purpose in life) more than "hedonic happiness"(a sense of pleasure and comfort). Perhaps this makes sense, given that being kind takes effort, which reduces comfort but could make people feel better about themselves and their abilities, which would provide a sense of meaning.Being kind came with greater eudaimonic happiness for women than for men, too. According to Hui, this could be because, in many cultures, women are expected to be kinder than men; so, they may have more to gain from it. And younger participants experienced more happiness when they were kind than older participants, perhaps for developmental reasons, he says.Hui isn't sure why acting kind might have these different effects on different groups, but he points to theories put forth by researcher Elizabeth Midlarsky: Being kind may make us feel better about ourselves as a person orabout the meaning of our lives, help us forget our own troubles and stresses, or help us be more socially-connected with others.4. What does the data in the second paragraph intend to show?A. The recent paper is worthy of being read.B. The recent paper gives convincing results.C. Kindness is always a hot topic of research.D. Kindness is closely linked to one's well-being.5. What does the underlined word "astounded" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Afraid.B. Certain.C. Excited.D. Surprised.6. Which of the following acts of kindness can make one feel happier according to paragraph 4?A. Volunteering in a hospital.B. Cleaning a community.C. Returning a lost item to its owner.D. Collecting donations for the poor.7. What do the researchers find from the paper?A. Being kind has different effects on different groups.B. Eudaimonic happiness makes people feel comfort.C. The younger experienced more happiness than the older.D. Female participants are kinder than male ones.CYou've probably heard it suggested that you need to move more throughout the day, and as a general rule of thumb, that "more" is often defined as around 10,000 steps. With many Americans tracking their stepsvia new fitness-tracking wearables, or even just by carrying their phone, more and more people use the 10,000-step rule as their marker for healthy living. Dr. Dreg Hager, professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins, decided to take a closer look at that 10,000-step rule, and he found that usingitas a standard may be doing more harm than good for many.“It turns out that in 1960 in Japan they figured out that the average Japanese man, when he walked 10,000 steps a day burned something like 3,000 calories and that is what they thought the average person should consume so they picked 10,000 steps as a number” Hager said.According to Hager, asking everyone to shoot for 10,000 steps each day could be harmful to the elderly or those with medical conditions, making it unwise for them to jump into that level of exercise, even if it's walking. The bottom line is that 10,000 steps may be too many for some and too few for others. He also noted that those with shorter legs have an easier time hitting the 10,000-step goal because they have to take more steps than people with longer legs to cover the distance. It seems that 10,000 steps may be suitable for the latter.A more recent study focused on older women and how many steps can help maintain good health and promote longevity (长寿).The study included nearly 17,000 women with an average age of 72. Researchers found that women who took 4,400 steps per day were about 40% less likely to die during a follow-up period of just over four years: Interestingly, women in the study who walked more than 7,500 steps each day got no extra boost in longevity.8. What does the underlined word "it' in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The phone recording.B. The 10,000-step rule.C. The healthy living.D. The fitness-tracking method.9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. How many steps a Japanese walks.B. How we calculate the number of steps.C. If burning 3,000 calories daily is scientific.D. Where 10,000 steps a day came from.10. Who will probably benefit from 10,000 steps each day according toHager?A. Senior citizens.B. Young short-legged people.C. Healthy long-legged peopleD. Weak individuals.11. How many steps may the researchers suggest senior citizens take each day?A. 4,400 steps.B. 10,000 steps.C. 2,700 steps.D. 7,500 steps.DBob, a Burroughs junior high school football player, always had his mom cheering him on.

Medicine .BAs a basic food in the Asian diet,soybeans(大豆)have been used to make tofu and soy milk for hundreds of years.But now,they are also being turned into an alternative to plastic wrap.William Chen,a professor of foodscience and technology at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University,invented the environmentally﹣friendly food wrap.It's made of cellulose(纤维素),a form of fiber,obtained from the waste generated by soy bean product producers.The beans are pressed tosqueeze out juice that's used to make tofu and soy milk.And what's left is usually thrown away,but Chen takes the waste and puts it through a fermentation(发酵)process,during which cellulose is produced.Cellulose﹣based plastic wraps have been on the market for a few years,but Chen says that most are made from wood or corn,grown for that purpose.By contrast,his wrap is made from a waste product,which doesn't compete with other crops for land and is more sustainable.Chen's technology could help to solve two problems at once:cutting plastic production and reducing the amount of food waste."In Singapore,the amount of food waste generated every year could fill up 15,000 Olympic﹣sized swimming pools," Chen says.F&N,a soy﹣based drinks producer,has partnered with Chen's lab and provides the product,straight from the factory.The company is conducting a study to assess whether the food wrap could complete commercially with conventional products.Chen adds,"The soy﹣based wrap costs almost nothing to makein the lab because the raw materials are free.Commercial production would involve additional expenses,such as storage and quality control,however,we have not calculated those costs yet."Chen hopes neighboring soy﹣loving countries will be inspired bySingapore to adopt his innovation."My dream is that our technology,which is cheap and simple,will cut plastic and food waste and create a cleaner environment," Chen says.4. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The introduction to William Chen.B. The process of producing soy milk.C. The way to make soy﹣based wrap.D. The benefit of eating soy products.5. What's the biggest difference of Chen's wrap from other cellulose﹣based plastic wraps?A. It saves land for industry.B. It's more easilybroken down.C. It is made from the food waste.D. It has been put into practice for many years.6. What will commercial production of the food wrap cause?A. A lack of competitiveness.B. Poor quality of the wraps.C. A shortage of raw material.D. An increase in production costs.7. From which is the text probably taken?A. A personal diary.B. A travel guide.C. A book review.D. A scientific magazine.CIn life,once on a path,we tend to follow it,for better or worse.What's sad is that even if it's the latter,we often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that wed don't even recognize that they could be different This is a phenomenon psychologist call functional fixedness.This classic experiment will give you an idea of howitworks and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap: People are given a box of tacks (大头钉) and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it burns properly.Typically, the subjects try tacking the candle to the wall or lighting it to fix it with melted wax. The psychologists had, of course, arranged it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work. The tacks are too short, and the paraffin (石蜡) doesn't stick to the wall. So how can you complete the task? The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candle-holder. You empty it, tack it to the wall. and stand the candle inside it.To think of that, you have to look beyond the box's usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and re-imagine it serving an entirely new purpose. That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another from functional fixedness.The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of society. The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase“frozen thoughts”to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In Arendt's eyes, the self- content reliance on such accepted “truths”also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their worldview, even when there was plenty of evidence for them.Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence, she said,“It can be found in highly intelligent people.”8. What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The experiment.B. Functional fixedness.C. The path.D. The thinking.9. Which way is hard to think of to complete the task?A. Tacking the candle to the wall.B. Fixing the candle with melted wax.C. Using the tack box as a candle-holder.D. Lighting the candle tostand it.10. Which of the following statements will Hannah Arendt agree with?A. People should question.B. We should be used to the way things are.C. People shouldn't accept the idea that doesn't fit their worldview.D. The smarter people are,the more open to the new things they are.11. What's the passage mainly about?A. An interesting experimentB. A psychological phenomenon.C. A theory to be proved.D. The opinion of Hannah Arendt.DDad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum, which made the comb two years older than I was. Every night, he wouldsmile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?”I was more than happy to do it. At age five this mundane task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. He didn’t come home as much as he used to – just a couple of times a week. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.Today, I’m no longer a kid. I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has got back on track. Things are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me persisted.Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. As usual, I helped him carry his bags into his study. When I turned to leave, he said, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad has aged. He has wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiles, yet his smile is still as heartwarming as before. The smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family. Dad carefully placed his comb on top of his wallet.After so many years, he still organizes his personal items in the same meticulous way. I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad.12. What caused the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me?A. Generation gap.B. Dad’s failure in business.C. My ignorance of Dad.D. Dad’s absence from the family.13. Which of the following can best describe Dad?A. Gentle but strict.B. Hardworking and caring.C. Cautious and realistic.D. Demanding but patient.14. Why did Dad ask his daughter to clean his comb before her birthday?A. To give her a lesson.B. To follow his old habit.C. To fix their relationship.D. To praise her helpfulness.15. Which saying concludes the text best?A. Yesterday once more.B. Let bygones be bygones.C. Some things never change.D. Like father, like daughter.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。

Peng's book with pictures is easy to understand.It is a guide to the right and wrong ways to treat disabled people.The left-hand pages show the reader the right way;the right-hand pages point out mistakes that are commonly made.The teenager had 2,000 copies of his book printed.With the help of the Disabled Persons,Federation,he gave them to the disabled community."The book is bilingual,so foreigners can also use it," said Peng.Peng put great effort into the book.For example,he interviewed many disabled people to get firsthand materials.He also studied textbooks from different schools for the disabled.Peng finally completed his handbook,but he still had the problem of getting it printed.How does a high school student raise money needed for that?With a smile,Peng said how he went about it."I visited three local companies,dressed up in a suit and tie.I was lucky.The companies were warm-hearted and willing to give me a hand."4.Why is Peng able to understand the hard life of the disabled people?______A.

Friendly and lovely.CIt turns out that happy cows produce better milk.The finding is not new.The California Milk Advisory Board has been saying it for years.But now a team of researchers is helping farmers have happier herds.The researchers are visiting milk farms and showing farmers how to make their cows live better.Their advice and information is available around the world on their website.One important area for discussion is how to prevent leg pain,a condition also called lameness.Lameness impacts everything a cow gets to do in her day.It impacts the way she rests,the way she milks,the way she eats,her ability to reproduce and finally her ability to stay on the farm.A bed of sand can provide a good place for cows to lie down during the day.The deep,soft bedding of sand creates an environment where cows can rest half the day,and that is extremely important to cows.The researchers advise farmers to provide bigger stalls,the areas where cows are kept in a barn Theyalso say farmers should use more fans to keep the animals cool,and feed all their cows at the same time.And researchers say it is a good idea to keep cows with their usual group of friends when it comes time for them to give birth.This helps lessen the stress for the cows.Mitch Breunig owns the Mystic Valley Dairy in the U.S.state of Wisconsin.He says he used the advice to improve the conditions for his 400 cows.Since he made the changes,Breunig says the dairy's production has increased.His cows have gone from producing 49 liters His cows have of milk a day to almost 57 liters.Also,his cows have fewer injuries and live about a year longer than before.That is good for the animals-and for people,too.7.Why are the researchers visiting milk farms?______A. To improve their cows' living conditions.B. To gather information from cow farmers.C. To create new cow farms for better milk.D. To help cow farmers prevent a cow disease.8.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?______A. The harm of leg pain and how to solve it.B. How to make a bed of sand for cows.C. The proper atmosphere cows need.D. What cows need most in their life.9.What should farmers do when cows give birth?______A. Feed them at the same time.B. Leave them near their friends.C. Provide bigger room for them,D. Use more fans to keep them cool.10.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?______A. Advice on How to Keep Cows More Comfortable.B. Cow Farmers Welcome Researchers to Their Farms.C. Ways to Make Cows Produce More Milk than Usual.D. Better Conditions Make for Happier Cows and Farmers.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10分)The Ways of Getting Happiness Spend more time in your values.Living your values is one of the simplest ways to a more happiness to every day.(11) ,the best way to make the most of it is to connect your work to your values.When you spend more time in your values,you enjoy the journey more.(12) .One of the best things you can do is find simple ways to gradually improve your overall happiness level.One of the worst things you can do is compare your happiness level to others,or beat yourself up for not being a shiny,happy person.Drive from happiness.Decide to drive from happiness.Happiness is a decision.This is where you have to look inside,and answer the tough questions.What do you like to do?What makes you happy?It‘s very easy to keep doing the things that we think others expect from us,or want for us.(13) .Don't fall for the "If-Then" trap.Don't fall for the "if-then" or when-then traps.I'll be happy if I getthat job;(14) ,I'll be happy;I'll be happy if I get that relationship;etc.It's easy to put your happiness "out there" instead of "right here.Point your camera on purpose.Point your camera at the things that you want more of.(15) .You can point your camera at more pain,ormorepleasure.That sapowerful choice.It's easy to test.Simply start pointing your camera at better scenes each day,and watch what unfolds in yourself,and the world around you.A.If it doesn't happenB.If I get that houseC.You get what you focus onD.Set your own happiness levelE.If you spend a lotof time at workF.Don't get mad bythe traffic,and leave earlierG.Instead,look inside and find the things that really do make you happy三、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共40分)Five years ago,I took a sightseeing trip to Washington DC.I saw many (16) nationtreasures,and I also saw many poor (17)like beggars and homeless folks.Standing outsidethe museum,I heard a(18)behind me,"Can you help me?"When I (19)around,I saw an elderly blind woman with her hands extended (伸着).I (20)into my pocket,took out the (21)and placed them in her hand without even looking (22)her.I hated being troubled bya beggar when I was(23)seeing people and things around.But to my (24),the blindwoman smiled and said,"I don't need your money.I just need your (25) to find the post office.I soon realized I had(26)another person for what I thought she had to be.This experience made me feel bad about myself.(27),in my own life,I have also (28)many acts of prejudice (偏见).When I worked as a busboy at the age of 17,I heard a father tell his son that he would(29)like me if he didn't work harder.I should have(30)the treatment and known what it is like.But now living a good life as a network engineer,it's too easy to forget my(31),to forget who I am and where I have been,and to ignore (32)I want to go.The blind woman cured me ofmy(33).She made me realize that I should always stay humble (谦卑的)and keep my eyes and heart(34)By the way,I helped that lady to get to the post office.I(35) hope to thank herfor the priceless lesson she gave me.16.

She said.When we got into the taxi,she gave me an address,and then asked,"Could you drive through downtown?""It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly."Oh,I'm in no hurry," she said."I'm on my way to a hospice (临终医院).I don't have any family left.The doctor says I don't have very long."I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器).For the next two hours,we drovethrough the city.She showed me the building where she had once worked,the neighborhood where she had lived,and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness,saying nothing.At dawn,she suddenly said,"I'm tired.Let's go now." We drove in silence to the address she had given."How much do I owe you?" she asked."Nothing." I said."You have to make a living," she answered."Oh,there are other passengers," I answered.She said thanks to me,but she looked so sad.注意:(1) 所续写的短文词数应为150左右;(2) 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;(3) 续写部分分为二段,每段的开头语已经为你写好;(4) 续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语.Para 1:Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug.Para 2:I was on my way to visit her.英语试卷答案和解析一.阅读理解【答案】【解析】1.D.细节题.根据文章第一段,All of the
