1. March brings the start of more pleasant temperatures around the world. Here are four of the best places to visit in March as you consider your travel list:Buenos AiresBuenos Aires is just entering fall in March, and you can expect warm days and cool nights with a high of 26°C and a low of 18°C. Buenos Aires has welcomed many people from other countries over the past 150 years and is one of the most diverse （多样化的） cities in Latin America. This means not only are you likely to hear different languages here, but you'll also see the influence these different race groups have had on the local food.ChicagoCome in March! Highs of 7°C are welcomed with open arms after a long Chicago winter. On March 22 and 23, the Good Food Festival, the Midwest's most important local food show, will feature（特色是） more than 150 kinds of food, beer and wine.PhilippinesThings are starting to really heat up in the Philippines in March. It is a very popular time for travel with a high of 32°C and a low of 25°C, especially during Holy Week, before Easter. The Philippines is made up of more than 7, 000 islands, making it an excellent place for beach hopping.Savannah, GeorgiaIf you are looking for a warmer city to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, Savannah, Georgia can get up to 20°C in March. Savannah's parade is the second largest in the United States and the third largest in the world. Performances aren't only on March 17. They start at the beginning of the month.（1）What can visitors do on the Good Food Festival？________A. Give a show.B. Enjoy different food.C. Make tasty dishesD.

To tell the history of four cities.C. To give some geography knowledge.D. To offer some tips on travelling abroad.．2. Change is a natural part of language development. The words you like to use are probably a little different from those that your grandparents used when they were young. A study carried out by a British company found that the use of e-mail has had a bad influence on the standard of written English.According to the research, computer users today are too busy to hit the "shift" buttons on their keyboards - e-mails are often written in lower case, that is to say, with no capital letters （大写字母） for names or the beginning of sentences. Spelling mistakes are generally accepted even in formal e-mails. And nouns are often used as verbs （e.g. Please bookmark this site）.With the development of the Internet, e-mail and mobile phone messages, a new language has developed within just a few years - we call it Weblish. The latest Oxford English Dictionary has included many new words showing the changes in our communication culture. While some language experts are concerned about the future of English and want to do something, John Simpson, chief editor of the dictionary says,"The standards may be different now but it has certainly encouraged writing and communication, which means a faster development of language change. There are a large number of words that either come from the Internet or have been given new meanings by the Internet."（1）According to the research, people often write e-mails in lower case to________.A. save timeB. show kindnessC. make funD. be different．（2）The second paragraph mainly tells us________.A. the mistakes found in English e-mailsB. the reason why people use e-mailsC. the changes in English used in e-mailsD. the side effects of the use of e-mail．（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？________A. Spelling mistakes are not allowed in today's e-mails.B. The Internet develops new words as well as new meanings to some old words.C. Weblish is only used in e-mails.D. We cannot find Weblish in a dictionary at present.．（4）According to the passage, John Simpson probably agrees that________.A. the use of e-mail stops the development of languageB. mistakes in e-mails are very important to EnglishC. the Internet has brought great changes to EnglishD. everyone should learn to write e-mails in Weblish．3. Who needs friends? According to most psychologists （心理学家）, we alldo, especially nowadays when so many other aspects （方面） of modern life are changing. It seems that having friends keeps us both healthy and happy.The number of TV series about groups of friends shows just how important friendship is to us. Psychologist Dorothy Rowe says that many of us now turn to our friends, instead of our families, for advice, comfort and security （安全感）. One woman named Rebecca she interviewed even told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would choose her friend.Since our friends mean so much to us, it is not surprising that the happiest marriages are also friendships. "Once the romantic（浪漫的）stage of a relationship has passed, it is friendship that holds people together," says Rowe. If the couple do not make some change, they will either get tired of each other and break up or stay together and seek friendship with others.But is friendship equally important to women and men? According to author Rhonda Pritchard, women are more likely than men to have close friends. "You tell a friend things that you'd never tell a partner", says one woman she interviewed. For men, friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friend. Men share time and activities like building a fence or abusiness, running, riding a bike, fishing or watching football, but they don't often share their feelings.Although many women find their relationships with a husband or boyfriend is not enough, many men say that their partner is their best friend. Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the breakup of a close friend as painful as the end of a marriage.（1）What did Rebecca think about friendship？________A. Families are reliable forever.B. One needn't have too many friends.C. Her friend means more to her than her husband.D. Friends are as important as families.．（2）Some couples look for friends outside their relationships because________.A. they don't get what they need from their partners.B. they are not fairly treated by their partners.C. they are encouraged by their partners.D.they think their friends are more romantic.．（3）What is the main difference between men's and women's friendships？________A. Women often do things together.B. Men seldom talk about their feelings.C. Women often talk about business with friends.D. Men often talk to their friends about work and family.．（4）When a friendship ends, some women may________.A. turn to their husband for comfort.B. share feelings with their partners.C. treat their partners as friends.D.feel as upset as when a marriage ends.．第二节（共1小题，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。

An announcement.BI’ve been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree.It’s a unique tree. In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19．Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20．What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21．Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22．The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23．What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24．What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25．According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26．What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29．What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life.

AWhen we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it with the help of words. We can also do it in many other ways, too. Sometimes we move our heads up and down when we want to say “yes”, and we shake our heads when we want to say “no ”. Some people can’t hear or speak. They talk with the help of gestures（手势）. People from other countries often have to do it if they don’t know your language.Here is a story. An American was once having his holiday in Italy, but he could not speak Italian. One day he went to a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, the American opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. In this way he wanted to say “Bring me something t o eat”. The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The American shook his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea. So he took it awayand brought him a glass of milk. The American shook his head again. He was very hungry now and looked sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant when another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands on his stomach(胃). In a few minutes there was a large plate of bread and meat on the table in front of him.1.

We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today，I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.The first one is about drinking.

Enjoy yourselves by all means，but please don’t make unnecessary noise，particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.Thirdly，crossing the road. Be careful！The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossings (人行横道) and do not take any chances when crossing the road.My next point is about litter (throwing away waste material in a public place)．It is an offence (违法行为) to drop litter in the street. When you have something to throw away，please put it in your pocket and take it home，or put it in a litter bin.Finally，as regards something，it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco (烟草) if you are under 16 years of age.I’d like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance，you should contact your local police station，who will be pleased to help you.Now，are there any questions?4．The main purpose of this speech would be to________.A．prepare people for international travelB．declare the laws of different kindsC．inform people of the punishment for breaking lawsD．give advice to travelers to the country5．How many laws are there discussed in the speech?A．Three.B．Four.C．Five.D．Six.6．The underlined word “contact” in the seventh paragraph means________.

Indeed，travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend，a family member，a pal you’ve met online，or a business friend.You can have someone to talk to.Traveling alone is fun，but wouldn’t you feel lonely？Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you’re traveling to. You don’t have to ask any information from the locals，and you can increase the time you spend in the country.__________________________One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can’t simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also think about your daily needs，such as your food. Of course，you can’t simplygo back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品) to your friends and family. All these can ruin your budget. However，when you have a travel friend，you can have someone to share the expenses with.You can meet a good friend.Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner. You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other’s heart while traveling together in another country.You can have someone to watch out for you.When you’re in a foreign land，you’ll never be really safe. You don’t know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost.So why don’t yo u find a travel companion now?Let’s find out how ...8.

He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work changed him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.One day the lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded (惊呆的). He didn’t know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I’d like to do: painting pictures I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that?I should have lost my place of the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it’s too much for one and too little for the other.”“Here is the reading of your uncle’s will,” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.”“Yes, I see. I’ll do that.” said the young man.12. He wanted to borrow money because he wanted to .A. study abroadB. work abroadC. pay for the debtsD. learn to paint pictures13.

AEveryone needs friends. As the old saying goes, “No man is an island”. In other words, no one can survive without the help and friendship of others. One can hardly live without a friend. Society is made up of people and making friends is a very important part in our life. Friends can give you a lot. Firstly, if you have trouble with some problems, you can talk to your good friends and exchanged opinions .Thus you will feel comfortable and encouraged.

AOne day Mr. White gave his wife ten pounds for her birthday — ten new pound notes. So Mrs. White went out shopping. She waited for a bus, got on it and sat down next to an o1d 1ady. After a while, Mrs. White noticed that the old lady’s handbag was open. Inside it, she saw a wad（叠）of pound notes exactly like the ones her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag — the notes had gone! Mrs. White was sure that the o1d lady next to her had stolen them. She immediately thought of calling the police. But as she disliked making a fuss（小题大作）, she decided to take back the money from the old lady’s hand bag and say nothing a bout it. She looked around to make sure nobody was watching. Then she carefully put her hand into the o1d lady’s bag, took the notes, and put them into her own handbag.When she got home that evening, Mrs. White showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.“How did you pay for it?” Mr. White asked.“With the money you gave me for my birthday, of course” she answered.“Oh? What’s that, then?” he asked, as he pointed to a wad of pound notes on the table.1. Why did Mr. White give his wife ten pounds?A. For a new hand bag.B. For new notes.C. For her husband's birthday.D. For her birthday.2. What did Mrs. White use the money given by her husband for?A. A new handbag.B. Stealing from an old 1ady.C. Nothing.D. Going shopping.3. What did Mrs. White decide to do when she found another ten pounds in herneighbor’s handbag on the bus?A. She wanted to call the police.B. She decided to talk with the o1d lady.C. She decided to take away her own money.D. She decided not to tell the 1ady and take the money away.4. Which of the following sentences is wrong?A. Mrs. White actually stole her money by herself.B. Mrs. White in fact became a thief then.C. Mr. White gave his wife some new pound notes for her birthday.D. The money was still at Mrs. White's home.BIn Britain in the 1890s there was a postcard “craze(热潮)”. People formed clubs and collected and exchanged postcards. Even Queen Victoria had her own private collection.When Edward was the king, the British had a cheap and good postal system. If anyone wanted to tell a friend that they were coming for tea in the afternoon, they would send a postcard in the morning. “Drop me a card” was as common then as “give me a ring” as now.In 1902 an important step was taken. The government said that half of the side that was used for the address on the postcard could be used for messages, and the whole of the other side could be used for a picture. It was then that the simple postcard, as we know now, was created.5. In Britain in the 1890s, _______.A. people were interested in sending cardsB. people were interested in playing cardsC. people were interested in collecting postcardsD. people were interested in buying postcards6. “Give me a ring” in the passage means _______.A. send me a gold ringB. send me a cardC. give me a telephone callD. give me a bell ring7. Which statement is TRUE?A. Postcards were not used in the 19th century.B. It was not until 1902 that the simple postcard as we know was created.C. Postcards were used only for collection in the 1890s.D. There was no message on the old postcard.8. Choose the best title for the passage.A. Postcards Old and NewB. Postcard Clubs in the 1890sC. Creation of the Present PostcardD. Postal System in Britain CAlthough many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have t o remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakeswhen they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY（准确性）. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two years! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.9．What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?A．To improve your reading. B．To improve your listening.C．To improve your spoken English. D．To improve your vocabulary. 10．It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _______.A. Fluency is more important than accuracy.B. It doesn't matter to make mistakes when we use English.C. In order to get our message across we should speak cautiously.D．Feeling shy and nervous can lead to errors.11．The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “_______”.A．more hurry, less speed B．better late than never C．silence is gold D．practice makes perfect12．The text is most probably taken from a _________.A．teacher’s diary B．report on studyC．sports newspaper D．movie magazineDI used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my school, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of audience, I was trembling. I didn’t remember any word that I had prepared.I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I have received many awards in school, but they don’t show anything about me.I am just storing knowledge, yet fail to communicate with others. When I leave school I feel I will be of no use to society.I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society.13. From the passage we can learn that the author______.A. comes to know how important it is to make some moneyB. realizes that it is more important to develop oneself than just to learn knowledgeC. does not think education is the most important thing in his life any moreD. thinks that getting along well with others is more important than education14. The author believes the awards he has received ____.A. show that he is a top studentB. show how much time he has spent in learningC. mean that he knows how to learnD. don’t necessarily show he is excellent in many ways15. The author feels fearful that he will be of no use to society mainly because______.A. he is unable to develop himselfB. studying takes too much of his timeC. he does not know how to communicate with othersD. he feels that he is a failure第二节七选五（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。

So she quickly looked into her own bag — the notes had gone! Mrs. White was sure that the o1d lady next to her had stolen them. She immediately thought of calling the police. But as she disliked making a fuss（小题大作）, she decided to take back the money from the old lady’s hand bag and say nothing about it. She looked around to make sure nobody was watching. Then she carefully put her hand into the o1d lady’s bag, took the notes, and put them into her own handbag.When she got home that evening, Mrs. White showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.“How did you pay for it?” Mr. White asked.“With the money you gave me for my birthday, of course” she answered.“Oh?

Even Queen Victoria had her own private collection.When Edward was the king, the British had a cheap and good postal system. If anyone wanted to tell a friend that they were coming for tea in the afternoon, they would send a postcard in the morning. “Drop me a card” was as common then as “give me a ring” as now.In 1902 an important step was taken. The government said that half of the side that was used for the address on the postcard could be used for messages, and the whole ofthe other side could be used for a picture. It was then that the simple postcard, as we know now, was created.5.

Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my school, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of audience, I was trembling. I didn’t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself.I have received many awards in school, but they don’t show anything about me. I am just storing knowledge, yet fail to communicate with others. When I leave school I feel Iwill be of no use to society.I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society.9 . From the passage we can learn that the author______.A. comes to know how important it is to make some moneyB. realizes that it is more important to develop oneself than just to learn knowledgeC. does not think education is the most important thing in his life any moreD. thinks that getting along well with others is more important than education10 .

The author feels fearful that he will be of no use to society mainly because______.A. he is unable to develop himselfB. studying takes too much of his timeC. he does not know how to communicate with othersD. he feels that he is a failureDEver wondered why fresh fruits and vegetables are the first thing you see in stores or why the bread and milk are so far away? Supermarkets spend millions of dollars researching consumer (消费者) behaviour in order to develop ways to make you buy more in their stores.CHOICE magazine takes a look at some of the more common tricks to help you avoid spending more money next time you go shopping.Experts (专家) say turning to the right when you walk into a shop is connected with most people’s preference for using their right hand.Dr Paul Harrison, expert at Deakin University, says a store’s entry (入口) is not the only important point. “Research i n the US has shown that shoppers who travel in an anti-clockwise (逆时针方向的) direction will spend about two dollars more per trip than clockwise shoppers.”Research made on shoppers’ in-store movements suggests people travel to some aisles (过道) only. The most common trip to travel in stores is around the outside circle, walking in and out of the aisles as needed. As a result, the ends of each aisle are where the store makes the most money.When you enter a big supermarket fresh fruits and vegetables are in the first shopping area. Although it’s not wise to first put fruits and vegetables into your shopping basket, this department is set to make the shoppers feel that it’s fresh and healthy. People who use the fresh food areas are also likely to spend more money in the store.By setting up different “marketplace” areas, it feels as though we’ve visited several different stores where we can get everything we need rather than a single big shop. Each of these areas has different lighting and floor coverings. “It’s a ll about creating a market-like feel,” says Harrison. “Areas making and selling bread, apart from smelling good, give the impression that the supermarket can be trusted. It’s like they’re saying, ‘You can trust us because we make food.’”12. Why do people turn to the right when entering a shop?A. People are mostly right-handed.B. It’s easier for them to walk in a circle.C. Fresh food is often placed on the right.D. Shopping baskets are usually on the right.13. What does the research in the US find?A. Most shoppers walk anti-clockwise.B. Clockwise walkers are often big shoppers.C. A store’s entry is the most important point.D. Walking directions influence consuming behaviour.14. As for aisles, what do supermarket managers most care about?A. The ends.B. The middle.C. How long they are.D. How wide they are.15. What impression does a supermarket try to give shoppers by making each area different?A. It is fresh.B. It is healthy.C. It covers a big area.D. It offers a wide choice.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。

Creation of the Present PostcardD. Postal System in BritainCAlthough many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY（准确性）. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two years! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English alwaysremains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.9．What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?A．To improve your reading. B．To improve your listening.C．To improve your spoken English. D．To improve your vocabulary.10．It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _______.A. Fluency is more important than accuracy in writing.B. It doesn't matter to make mistakes when we use English.C. In order to get our message across we should speak cautiously.D. Feeling shy and nervous can lead to errors.11．The last p aragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “_______”.A．more hurry, less speed B．better late than neverC．silence is gold D．practice makes perfect12．The text is most probably taken from a _________.A．teacher’s di ary B．report on studyC．sports newspaper D．movie magazineDI used to think education was the most important thing in my life.

D．Academic accomplishment.BRich as a KingWilliam I, who conquered England some 930 years ago, had wealth, power and an army. Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet（抽水马桶）, paper towels, or riding lawn mower （除草机）. How did he get by？History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled（颤抖） before Alexander the Great, but he couldn't buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw（电锯）.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, you'd think I'd be content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of living person：neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people. The greed（贪婪） I feel toward my friend Howard's new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors,There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about. You'd think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood, but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today's standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides, to people looking back at our age from a century or two in the future, these bankers' fancy furniture and my own old Formica will seem equally shabby（寒酸的）, I can't keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait.4.What does the underlined phrase "get by" in the first paragraph mean？A . Succeed as a king.B . Deal with complains.C . Get some extra money.D . Live in a satisfactory way.5.How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present？A . 3.B . 4.C . 5.D .6.6. According to the passage, the author intends to .A . tell us to be content with lifeB . warn us to live in a simple wayC . leach us to learn lessons from lifeD . encourage us lo struggle for wealth7. What's the author's attitude towards life？A . Doubtful.B . Optimistic.C . Uncaring.D . Cautions.CIt is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer social-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing , because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers（同龄人） in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child’s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different social-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The programalso gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same social-economic background and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual（智力的） skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of social-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the child’s development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program compares quite clearly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.8.What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program ？A．The large number of poor families.B．The late start of the program.C．The disapproval from children.D．The long period of time.9．According to the passage, what is likely to influence children’s performance ？A．The number of family members. B．The intelligence of their parents.C．The parent-child communication. D．The teacher-student relationship. 10．How does the author develop the passage ？A．By making comparisons. B．By listing figures.C．By giving examples. D．By drawing conclusions.第二节阅读补全（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Becoming Refreshed without sleepingSometimes there is just not enough hours in the day to get everything done and get a good night's rest. 11.

AAround this time a few years ago, it was common to see videos of friends on social media having a bucke t of icy water thrown on them. Known as the “ice bucket challenge”, it was created as a way to raise money for the medical condition ALS. But now, there’s a new challenge and this time, no water is involved.What is it? Well, think of a fruit that you’d never normally sink your teeth into. Perhaps you’ve got it: a lemon. While we enjoy using lemons to add flavor to dishes, very few of us would actually eat one as we’d eat an apple or an orange.But the horrible taste is the precise reason why the “lemon face challenge” is taking off. Participants bite into a lemon, taking a selfie as they do it before posting the photo online. The fun is all about expression people make as all that citric acid（柠檬酸）hits their taste buds（味蕾）. Every expression seems to say, “This is worse than freezing water.”The serious side to this trend is the good cause it’s all in aid of. The challenge aims to raise awareness of a rare brain cancer that affects young children. It was started by Aubregh Nicholas, an 11-year-old US kid. She was diagnosed with this rare brain cancer herself in September 2017, but has since raised almost $50000 to cover her medical expenses thanks to the challenge.If a challenge is going to raise publicity and contributions from people, it has to be something interesting and original. That way the ice bucket challenge took off in 2014 and it explains why somany people are now sharing their lemon faces. There are a lot of stories about the downside of social media these days. The charity challenges, however, show how online culture can unite the world and bring help to the people who most need it.1. Why is the icy bucket challenge mentioned in the article?A. to show how charity gained its popularity online.B. to introduce a similar challenge that raises money for charity.C. to attract people’s attention to a rare disease.D. to prove its popularity around the world.2. Compared with the pre-Internet charity, what is the advantage of online charity?A. It raises more money than ever beforeB. It is started by the people who suffer rare diseases.C. It brings people together easily and quickly.D. It causes little doubt among people .3. What does the underlined phrase “take off” in the last paragraph mean?A. go away suddenlyB. become successful and popularC. remove your clothesD. take a break4. What is the author’s attitude towards online charity?A. positiveB. indifferentC. negativeD. ambiguous【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。

AOne day Mr. White gave his wife ten pounds for her birthday — ten new pound notes. So Mrs. White went out shopping. She waited for a bus, got on it and sat down next to an o1d 1ady. After a while, Mrs. White noticed that the old lady’s handbag was open. Inside it, she saw a wad（叠）of pound notes exactly like the ones her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag —the notes had gone! Mrs. White was sure that the o1d lady next to her had stolen them. She immediately thought of calling the police. But as she disliked making a fuss（小题大作）, shedecided to take back the money from the old lady’s hand bag and say nothing about it. She looked around to make sure nobody was watching. Then she carefully put her hand into the o1d lady’s bag, took the notes, and put them into her own handbag.When she got home that evening, Mrs. White showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.“How did you pay for it?” Mr. White asked.“With the money you gave me for my birthday, of course” she answered.“Oh?

Even Queen Victoriahad her own private collection.When Edward was the king, the British had a cheap and good postal system. If anyone wanted to tell a friend that they were coming for tea in the afternoon, they would send a postcard in the morning. “Drop me a card” was as common then as “give me a ring” as now.In 1902 an important step was taken. The government said that half of the side that was used for the address on the postcard could be used for messages, and the whole of the other side could be used for a picture. It was then that the simple postcard, as we know now, was created.5.

Postal System in BritainCI used to think education was the most important thing in my life.Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my school, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing i n front of audience, I was trembling. I didn’t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I have received many awards in school, but they don’t show anything about me. I am just storing knowledge, yet fail to communicate with others. When I leave school I feel I will be of no use to society.I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society.9 .

Supermarkets spend millions of dollars researching consumer (消费者) behaviour in order to develop ways to make you buy more in their stores.CHOICE magazine takes a look at some of the more common tricks to help you avoid spending more money next time you go shopping.Experts (专家) say turning to the right when you walk into a shop is connected with most people’s preference for using their right hand.Dr Paul Harrison, expert at Deakin University, says a store’s entry (入口) is not the only important point. “Research in the US has shown that shoppers who travel in an anti-clockwise (逆时针方向的) direction will spend about two dollars more per trip than clockwise shoppers.”Research made on shoppers’ in-store movements suggests people travel to some aisles (过道) only. The most common trip to travel in stores is around the outside circle, walking in and out of the aisles as needed. As a result, the ends of each aisle are where the store makes the most money.When you enter a big supermarket fresh fruits and vegetables are in the first shopping area. Although it’s not wise to first put frui ts and vegetables into your shopping basket, this department is set to make the shoppers feel that it’s fresh and healthy.

Each of these areas has different lighting and floor coverings. “It’s all about creating a market-like feel,” says Harrison. “Areas m aking and selling bread, apart from smelling good, give the impression that the supermarket can be trusted. It’s like they’re saying, ‘You can trust us because we make food.’”12. Why do people turn to the right when entering a shop?A. People are mostly right-handed.B.
