AWhen you are learning a foreign language, one of the hardest things to grasp is how and when to use colloquial idioms (口语习语) and expressions. Often used in both spoken and written la nguage, these idioms are very important. Using one of these phrases correctly when speaking or writing to an English spea ker is very impressive. Here are some wonderful British idiom s. Use them wisely!1. When pigs fly!This expression is one of my favorites and I use it all the time. It is used primarily when speaking, meaning that something i s extremely unlikely or impossible. For example, “I will forgive him when pigs fly!”“When do you think you will get a gym me mbership, Louise?”“When pigs fly!”2. A penny for your thoughts?This question is used in a situation where someone appears t houghtful or is very quiet seeming lost in thought. But rememb er that you don’t actually have to pay them a penny if they do tell you what is going on! For example, “You’ve been a bit qui et this evening, Pete. A penny for your thoughts?”3. It’s the bee’s knees.This expression means that something is of excellence or of v ery high quality. For example, “Try this chocolate. It’s the bee’s knees.”4. To feel a bit under the weather.I use this expression in many different situations but most use it to refer to feeling ill, or unwell. You would not use this phras e if you were feeling extremely unwell. It is only for those time s when you are feeling a little ill, or suffering from something slightly like a cold or a cough. However, this can also be used t o refer to feeling emotionally(情感上的) low.21. What would you say if you think something will never hap pen?A. When pigs fly!B. It’s the bee’s knees.C. A penny for your thoughts?D. To feel a bit under the weather.22. What does “A penny for your thoughts?” mean?A. Can I help you?B. Do you need money?C. How are you feeling?D. What are you thinking about?23. What is the author most likely to continue to write at the e nd of the last paragraph?A. A study.B. An example.C. Another idiom.D. The meaning of the idiom.BI often walked my dog Roux behind the swimming pool. And I once came across bedding. I wondered at the time who was s leeping there and why, and what had happened in his or her li fe.Then one day, I saw a young woman walking away from that area when I was walking. I was surprised and wondered if she was the person sleeping there. I saw here again the next day , walking towards that area of the park. Roux ran up to her for a pat, and she smiled.She was young. I asked her if she was sleeping there and she looked embarrassed and said “no”. I didn’t believe her. It was winter at the time. She just had a T-shirt on and a small backpack and looked cold.I thought of Mindy, my best friend, who has a big heart and al ways helps people in need. Then I took my lovely north Face j acket off and gave it to her. I was not as big-hearted as Mindy, because I hesitated(犹豫). It was a nice jacket, a rather expensive nice jacket, warm and windproof(防风的). I emptied the pockets of all my bits and pieces and hande d it over to her. She had tears in her eyes. She thanked me a nd put it on. “Oh,it’s still warm,” she said.In fact, it wasn’t an easy give. I wished that was the day I had worn my $25 dog walking jacket! But I knew her needs were greater than mine.24. How did the author feel when he found someone’s beddin g?A. Worried.B. Sad.C. Nervous.D. Surprised.25. Why did the young woman feel embarrassed?A. She didn’t believe the author.B. Her small backpack was dirty.C. Her living conditions were poor.D. She didn’t recognize the author’s dog.26. Why did the author hesitate before giving his jacket to the woman?A. It was Mindy’s jacket.B. He liked this jacket.C. The girl didn’t have a big heart.D. It was a $25 dog walking jacket.CGood health is the most valuable thing a person can have bu t one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to re member that the body needs proper care in order to be health y. There are three things that a person can do to help stay he althy, eating right food, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly.Proper nutrition(营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well u nless it receives the proper kind "fuel". Don't eat too much foo d with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein(蛋白质), like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are v ery important because they provide necessary vitamins and m inerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overwei ght.Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. Yo u have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality(人的个性). Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of slee p each day. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed , and your mind will be sharp.Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise makes the body str onger, strengthens the muscles(肌肉), and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves yo ur heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, y ou will probably increase your life-span(寿命). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are good for keeping the body in good shape: basketball, swimming, bicyclin g, running and so on. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and heal thier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.27.

Eating more and sleeping less .A. makes us healthierB. helps keep our personalityC. gets us more energyD. does harm to our health29.

第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AAn Oceans VacuumThere’s a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than Texas-and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes 62-mile-long floating barriers that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesIn 2012, Mathew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is o go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.”Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for $130.An Airport for Drones(无人机)As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: what kinds of home bases will their drones have? Rwanda, in Africa, may have the answer. There, workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. The goal is to make it easier to transport food, medical supplies, electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside. Construction is set to be completed in 2020.21.What’s the advantage of the Oceans Vacuum?A. It can be a money-saverB. It can grow year by yearC. It can tear plastic into piecesD. It can be put into wide use soon22.What do we know about Nike?A. It offers free shoes to the disabledB. It is designing new shoes frequentlyC. It provides customer-friendly servicesD. It responded to Matthew’s request passively23.Why is Rwanda setting up “drone ports”?A. Because road travel there is roughB. Because there are too many dronesC. Because they’re easier to construct than roadsD. Because they are receptive to new technologyBI grew up in a troubled home in the 1970s, on the outskirts of downtown Orlando, Florida. Not far away, a three-story house attracted my eyes.It was nothing like the one I lived in with my mother, a small dark place with rules about befriending others. “Don’t. Never, ever talk to anyone,” my mother said.One day, in sixth grade, a black-haired woman was introduced to our class: Mrs. Reese. Reese explained that she was starting Spanish Club. She invited anyone interested in learning Spanish language and culture to stay after school.I could not take my eyes off her bracelets(手镯) and shining rings. The bell rang, and to my shock, no one went up to Mrs. Reese. I was under strict orders to go straight home. But that day, I stayed. I asked Mrs. Reese when the club started.“We could begin right now if you like,”she said with a smile. I felt beautiful. That day I learned that the house of my dreams was her house. I learned how to answer questions about my age and my favorite food in Spanish. And I learned, Do you want to come over tomorrow for cooking lessons?I wanted to say “Yes”, but Mom’s words held me back.I begged my mother all summer and into fall, well after Spanish Club had dissolved. I wept at night sometimes, so worried that Mrs. Reese and her family would move away.At some point, I managed to wear my mother down and one Saturday afternoon. I rode out to Mrs. Reese’s house.The details of that afternoon are marked in my mind: We had tea. She painted my toenails red. We made a garlicky picadillo. We spoke in Spanish. In Spanish, my voice was loud and romantic. This is the real me! I remember thinking.My mother never permitted me another visit to Mrs. Reese’s house. But four decades later, I still remember that day and the life she showed me, proof of a possible future.24.What kind of family was the author from?A. Hard-upB. Two-parentC. Stress-freeD. Disease-ridden25.Why did the author choose to join the club?A. She wanted to stay longer at schoolB. She intended to comfort Mrs. ReeseC. She was deeply attracted by Mrs. ReeseD. She hoped to befriend the owner of her dreamt house26.The author went to Mrs. Reese’s house .A. with the help of her tearsB. while no one was noticingC. with her mother’s permissionD. just before the lady moved away27.What did the author gain from Mrs. Reese?A. The beauty of SpanishB. The wonder of a new worldC. The power of self-confidenceD. The importance of independenceCEnglish is full of colorful phrases to describe shyness. Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower, while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say boo to a goose.None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions, even if you like geese. In a culture of go-getting, high achievers, shy people don’t come first.Or that's what the self-help industry would have you believe. Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business. That is why one book, Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success across English-language media recently for its new take-on shyness.Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life, being shy can also be "a gift". Freed from the constant urge to participate and compete in social situations, people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人). Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company; actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties; and Harry Potter author JK Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.Moran told BBC Future: "I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家), really-you are more likely to be an observer."So, while extroverts make all the noise, they don't necessarily have the best ideas.If you're shy, you've probably known this for a long time. You just don't shout about it.28.When someone is being called a wallflower, he is being .A. praised for his graceB. admired for his characterC. laughed at for his shynessD. told off for his nervousness29.The underlined phrase “bucks the trend” in Paragraph 2 probably means ””.A. going against the trend and succeedsB. changing the public idea completelyC. becoming unpopular and unacceptedD. becoming the major concern of people30.The author mentioned many famous shy people in order to .A. point out the harm shyness bringsB. disconnect shyness and successC. shows the reasons for shynessD. prove shyness contributes to science31.What is the author’s attitude towards shyness?A. OpposedB. IndifferentC. SupportiveD. CriticalDFrigatebirds seagoing fliers with a 6-foot wingspan, can stay aloft(up in the air) for weeks at a time, a new study has found.Since the frigatebird spends most of its life at sea, its habits outside of when it reproduces on land aren’t well-known-until researchers started tracking them around the Indian Ocean. What the researchers discovered is that the bird’s flying ability is unbelievable.Ornithologist(鸟类学家) Henri Weimerskirch put satellite tage(标签) on a couple of dozen frigatebirds. When the data started to come in, he could hardly believe how high the birds flew."First, we found, 'Whoa, 1,500 meters. Excellent,' " says Weimerskirch, "And after 2,000, after 3,000, after 4,000 meters-OK, at this altitude they are in freezing conditions, especially surprising for a tropical bird.""There is no other bird flying so high relative to the sea surface," he says. "It's the only bird that is known to intentionally enter into a cloud," Weimerskirch says. And not just any cloud-a soft, white cumulus cloud(积云). Over the ocean, these clouds tend to form in places where warm air rises from the sea surface. The birds take a ride on the current of rising air, all the way up to the top of the cloud.Frigatebirds have to find ways to stay aloft because they can't land on the water. Since their feathers aren't waterproof, the birds would drown in short order. They feed by harassing other birds in flight until they bring whatever fish they've swallowed back into their mouth and the frigatebird takes it.So in between meals, frigatebirds fly higher... and higher.In one case, for two months-continuously aloft.One of the tagged birds flew 40 miles without a wing-flap. Several covered more than 300 miles a day on average, and flew continuously for weeks. They are blessed with an unusual body. No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight.32.How did researchers feel when data about frigatebirds reached them?A. CalmB. SurprisedC. HopefulD. Anxious33.According to the text, how can frigatebirds fly so high?A. By flying into a cloudB. With the help of researchersC. Thanks to advanced technologyD. By following other birds into the sky34.What does the underlined word ”they” in the text refer to?A. FrigatebirdsB. Other birdsC. Small fishD. Larger fish35.In what aspect are frigatebirds different from other birds?A. When they give birthB. What they feed onC. Their body weightD. Their wing surface area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。

It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better. Indeed, in the eyes of artists, loneliness never seems to go out of style. There are paintings that portray loneliness, songs that (21)_______ (inspire) by loneliness, and many works of literature that center around this theme.In the eyes of UK economist Rachel Reeves, however, loneliness is far from romantic. Instead, it's a "giant evil" that's become a serious problem in the country.On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appointed politician Tracey Crouch as the country’s very first "Minister for Loneliness". Her job is (22)______ (deal) with the loneliness that the country's been feeling—a problem which, according to UK government research, is affecting more than 9 million people in the country, and (23)______be more harmful to one's physical and mental health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day.Back in 2014, the UK was given the title of the "loneliness capital of Europe" by The Telegraph. A survey carried out by the newspaper found that British people were (24)______ (likely) to get to know their neighbours or build strong relationships with people than those from other European countries.But this doesn't mean it is the problem (25)_____ (affect) Britons only. In fact, were all suffering from loneliness now more than ever, in spite of most of the world now being linked to the internet, (26)______ has enabled us to be more connected than ever.(27)________ we need, according to Kim Leadbetter, sister of the late UK politician Jo Cox, is to have "proper human connections"."Our lives nowadays are so busy. We spend the vast majority of our time on our phones, on our laptops. (28)_______ _______ _______ busy we are, we need to press pause on that and actually sit down and speak to human beings," Leadbetter said at an event last year.But the first steps toward (29)_______ (fight) this problem are to accept its existence and not be ashamed or frightened by it. After all, (30)______ loneliness, many beautiful paintings, songs, and literary works wouldn't even exist. Whether it is "evil" or not, being lonely is simply part of the experience of being humman. Section BDirection: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Robots Writing NewspapersWhether it's robots working as hotel receptionists or artificial intelligence creating poetry, it's becoming more and more common to read about technology doing the jobs of humans. And now, it seems that software is even 31 of writing news stories—such as the very one you're reading.BBC News 32 reported that the Press Association(PA), a UK news service, has created a computer program that's competent to create articles that are almost impossible to tell apart from those written by human journalists. Called "robo-journalism" by BBC News, such software "teaches" itself by 33 thousands of news stories written by humans. The PA's software is already so advanced that many UK newspapers and websites publish articles created by it.According to the Reuters Institute of Journalism, many publishers are using robo-journalism to 34 interesting information quickly, from election results to official 35 on social issues. For example, US news organization The Washington Post has its own robo-journalism software, Heliograf.According to tech website Digiday, Heliograf "wrote" over 850 articles in 2017, as well as hundreds of social media 36 .So what does this mean for regular journalists? "We're naturally cautious about any technology that could replace human beings." Fredrick Kunkle, a Washington Post reporter, told Wired. "But this technology seems to have taken over only some of the work that nobody else wants to do."Indeed, it appears that robo-journalism software is 37 to help humans, rather than take away their jobs."In the future, Heliograf could do things like searching the web to see what people are talking about, checking The Washington Post to see if that story is being 38 , and, if not, alerting editors or just writing the piece itself, Wired reporter Joe Keoha wrote.However, Joshua Benton at Harvard university's Nieman Journalism Lab believes that while robo-journalism is 39 going to become more present in newsrooms, nothing can replace traditional human creativity."Good journalism is not just a matter of inputs and outputs, it is a craft that has developed over decades," he told BBC news."The really difficult part of what professional journalists do—carefully 40 information and presenting balanced, contextualized(全景式的) stones—will be very hard for machines to master."III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirection: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard 41 : keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities 42 longer lives?A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by 43 the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing more 44 and less neurotic (神经质的) than other people, long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a(n) 45 life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: Those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough 46 to make it through tough times.Interestingly, 47 , other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, 48 , were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being 49 to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your 50 as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should 51 to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help 52 your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28, 000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids 53 diets, Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we're adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isn't destin(命运), and everyone knows that individuals can learnto change. But both studies show that long life isn't just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health. Therefore, it might be 54 to form those personality traits contributing to longevity through health-related behaviours, stress reduction and 55 to the challenging problems.41.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AOne Friday morning, before Michael was leaving for work he told his wife that he had finally determined to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Michael felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr. Duncan refused to grant his request? Michael had worked so hard in the last 18 months and brought some great benefits to Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.The thought of walking into Mr. Duncan's office left Michael weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever- frugal (一惯节省的) Rowland Duncan agreed to give Michael a raise!Michael arrived home that evening-despite breaking all city and state limits-to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Cassie, had prepared a delicate meal including his favourite dishes. Immediately he thought someone from the office had tipped her off!Next to his plate Michael found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: "Congratulations, my love! I knew you'd get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!" He read it and stopped to think about how sensitive and caring Cassie was.After dinner, Michael was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Cassie's pocket onto the floor. He bent forwardto pick it up. It read: "Don't worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase."Suddenly tears swelled in Michael's eyes. Total acceptance! Cassie's support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.56. What was Michaels plan that Friday?A. To find a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.B. To ask for a wage increase from his boss.C. To celebrate his success.D. To ask his boss to come for dinner.57. On his way back home, Michael______.A. felt weak in the kneesB. was punished by the traffic policemanC. was too anxious to share the news with his wifeD. couldn't wait to enjoy a meal58.

Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.he risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2, 600 Germans revealed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 per cent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 am on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewer heart attacks in both countries.The findings could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr. Stefan Willich of the Free University. "We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol (胆固醇)but we don't know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can 't make specific recommendations about how to prevent them," he said.Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressuresof work. "When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal(荷尔蒙的) changes in their bodies.” Willich explained. “All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot(血凝块) in the arteries(动脉) which will cause a heart attack. "When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activity," said willich. "We need to know how these events cause changes in the body before we can understand if they cause heart attacks."But although it is tempting to believe that returning to work increases the risk of a heart attack, both Willich and the Italian researchers admit that it is only a partial answer. Both studies showed that the over 65s are also vulnerable on Monday morning even though most no longer work. The reason for this is not clear, but the Italian team speculated that the social interactions-the thought of facing another week and all its pressures—may play a part.What is clear, however, is that the Monday morning peak seems to be consistent from the northern Germany to southern Italy in spite of the differences in diet and lifestyle.63. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. 20% of the Italians appear to have higher possibility of having heart attacks.B. 33% of the Germans have heart diseases, so heart attacks are more common inGermany than in any other country.C. The risk of having heart attacks on Monday mornings is the same as on any otherday of the week to non-workers.D. non-smokers are more likely to have heart attacks on Sundays.64. The over 65s are more likely to suffer from heart attacks on Monday mornings possibly because ______.A. they are afraid of returning to workB. they are reluctant to face the pressures of another weekC. most of them are not in good healthD. they are much busier on Mondays than on any other days of the week65. In the following research, Dr. Willich will probably try to find out______.A. if smoking and cholesterol will cause heart attackB. if increase in blood pressure, heart rate and hormonal changes will cause heart attacksC. on which day people are least likely to have a heart attackD. if events like higher workload, more stress and so on will cause heart attacks.66. What is the best title for the passage?A. Causes of Heart Attacks on Mondays.B. Warning: Mondays Are Bad for Your Heart.C. The Overweight and Smokers Risk Heart Attacks on Mondays.D. Reduce Your Chance of Having Heart Attacks on Mondays.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.You won't have any excuse to skip class anymore. French startup Open Classrooms is offering the first state-recognized bachelor degree in France that uses only MOOCs(massive open online courses). The startup partnered with IESA Multimedia to create this program.There are three learning paths in engineering, design and marketing Students will have to complete all the courses and required projects in order to get their degree.67 IESA is already working on 40 different MOOCS for this program.On average, it will take a year of hard work in order to complete all the classes. As always, it's hard to keep going when you sign up for a MOOC. 68 This kind of degree has many key advantages. For IESA, it gives the school more students. IESA is a private school, and its end goal is to make as much money as possible. So with these new Mooc students, IESA will be able to get more money per teacher on average.69 The startup already offers a course for e20 per month, but you need to pay E300 per month for the Premium Plus offering to use the state-recognized program. it's unclear how much Open Classrooms will keep, but it sho uld be more than €20 per month.For students, it's a cheaper way to get a degree. Maybe you can't afford to study for three years at IESA and pay €6,950 per year. 70 Sure, it's probably a less enjoyable experience than going to your school and spending time with other students and teachers, but it makes sense for some students.It's an interesting new direction for Open Classrooms, and I can't wait to see whether other schools will start working with the startup to provide online courses. It will be interesting to see whether the first students are satisfied with this kind of degree as well.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing.Since 2009, a new form of the sharing economy has been emerging in neighbourhoods throughout the US and around the world - Little Free Libraries. The libraries are boxes put in neighbourhoods from which local people can take out and put in books. Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults or tour guides.In 2009, Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library in the Mississippi Rivertown of Hudson, Wisconsin, to honour his mother, who loved reading. When he saw the people of his community gathering around it, exchanging conversation as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further.Since then, his idea has become a movement, spreading from state to state and country to country. According to LittleFreelibrary. org. there are now 18,000 of the little boxes around the world, found in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article said that they are something different in a world of e-reader downloads. The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human. when you open the door of the box, chance and your neighbours' tastes determine what you'll find. You might find a graphic novel, a cookbook or a tour guidebook.For many people, this sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries main appeal. "A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading, a man on his way to the bus stop might find a book of poetry that changes his view on life, said The Atlantic article. "Every book is a potential source of inspiration."V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.与家人外出度假日益受到人们的推崇。

to encourage more reading among Chinese citizens.It comes to people's attention as more than 200,000 visitors flooded the store on its first day as a shared bookstore on July 16 this year,a record high since it was reopened to the public in 2013.Some 4,000 books were brought home on the first day, reported.Customers are allowed to borrow up to two books valued under 150 yuan per visit after registering with an app and paying the 99 yuan deposit fee（押金）.All books on sale in the bookstore are available for sharing.Returned books that are damaged are sold at a discount.The bookstore also provides a bonus for bookworms.People who finish reading 12 books in three months receive eight percent of their deposit back,and members can be rewarded one yuan for every book read."We want to bring down the cost of reading so people could read more books,"Xu Xinwei,who helps run the bookstore,told .Some parents buy a lot of books for their children,but they usually end up collecting dust as

bookstore is considering offering a bonus for anyone who likes reading.DCan exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many decades later?Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain,in rats at least."This is an animal study,but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important一not just for physical development,but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive（认知的）development during ageing,"says Martin Wojtowicz of the University of Toronto,Canada."In humans,it may delay the appearance of Alzheimer's symptoms（阿兹海默氏症）,possibly to the point of preventing them."Wojtowicz's team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups,and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks.Around four months later—when the rats had reached middle age—the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box.When placed in the box,they froze with fear.Two weeks later,the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room,the same box with the room arranged differently,and a completely different box in a different room.The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations,suggesting they couldn't remember which one was dangerous.But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.“The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we're young,at least for rats,has influence on brain and cognitive health—in the form of better memories—when we're older,"says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston,who has found that,in humans,exercise promotes the growth of new brain cells.32.The study shows that______.A.physical activity is important for physical healthing the running wheels is of benefit to the rats' growthC.physical activity can prevent human's Alzheimer's symptomsD.the more exercise a rat has when young,the better memory it will possess when older33.How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes.B.By giving an example.C.By describing the process.D.By showing differences.34.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Exercise.B.Development.C.Benefit.D.Study.35.What is the author's attitude towards the animal study?A.Negative.B.Objective.C.Critical.D.Doubtful.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。

Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers rather than chemicals.In 2012, Toumi consolidated (巩固) her dream of fighting the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy (理念) into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities wh ere they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?A．They made her decide to leave the country.B．They helped her better understand her father.C．They aroused her enthusiasm for helping others.D．They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland?A．Low rainfall. B．Soil pollution. C．Cold weather. D．Forest damage. 6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia?A．To create job opportunities for young people.B．To help the children obtain a basic education.C．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.D．To promote the protection of their farmland.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Saving Water in Tunisia B．Holding back the SaharaC．Planting Trees of Native Species D．Fighting Poverty in North AfricaDo you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone”thinks the same way? Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored to you and your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization?A social media echo chamber (回声壁) is when one experiences a tailored media experience that leave out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences. As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. Social media companies therefore rely on algorithms (算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention. The algorithms focus on what we “like”, and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us comfortable.In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do. The first step is to beef up your media consumption sources. Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye. Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly, attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information. By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.8. What is a result of the social media echo chamber?A．People contact like-minded online users effectively.B．People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.C．People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.D．People only get information confirming their beliefs.9. What does “beef up”underlined in paragraph 3 mean?A．Track. B．Improve.C．Provide. D．Identify.10. Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber?A．Criticizing fake news on social media.B．Exposing ourselves to opposing voices.C．Researching primary sources of information.D．Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.11. What is the purpose of the text?A．To call on people to use algorithms frequently.B．To ask people not to take in information blindly.C．To promote the use of various social media sites.D．To inform people of new technology developments.In 1977, Irene Pepperberg, a Harvard graduate, decided to investigate the thought processes of another creature by talking to it. To do this, she would teach a one-year-old African gray parrot (鹦鹉), Alex, to reproduce the sound of the English language.Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to s ay that she had intentionally chosen an especially smart bird. Given that Alex’s brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.But with Pepperberg’s patient teaching, Alex learned how to fol low almost 100 English words. He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight. But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by heart. Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.In one demonstration, Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look at. “What’s the same?” she asked. “Co-lor,” Alex responded without hesitation. “What’s different?” Pepperberg asked. “Shape,” Alex quickly replied. His voice had th e soundh of a cartoon character. But the words—and what can only be called the thoughts—were entirely his. Many of Alex’s skils, such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”, are rare in the animal world. Living in a complex society, parrots like Alex must keep track of changing relationnships and environments.During the demonstration, as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his bird’s brain, Alex spoke up. “Talk clearly!” he commanded, when one of the younger birds Pepper berg was also teaching mispronounced the word “green”。

AAre you looking forward to watching some great films in this summer？Here are four films you won’t miss.Wonder WomanWonder Woman is this summer’s most exciting film. Though being a superhero film, it is the most unique: you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot. On general release from 1 June.The MummyTom Cruise awakens an ancient princess who has now become a mummy. Cruise jumps from the sky, runs around a lot and wakes up naked in a sleeping bag –but it’s Sofia Boutella as the Mummy who draws the most attention. Director Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella as the Mummy: “If you look at her eyes, there's a whole performance going on here. Even not saying anything, she can convey something very emotional to me.”On general release from 8 June.Baby DriverAnsel Elgort is a getaway driver, who is forced to work for a crime boss. This is a comedy-action-romance from British writer-director Edgar Wright. The sound in the film is as great as the visuals, which makes it much like a musical, but it is quite different from La La Land. Baby Driver isn’t just a series of song pieces. Instead, it finds its form in the elegant, rapid-fire combination of movement and sound. Released 28 June in Canada and the US.A Man Called OveThis film has become one of Sweden’s most popular comedies. In the film a lonely retiree who has given up on life, was trying to kill himself, but all his attempts failed. Meanwhile, hedeveloped an unlikely friendship with his Persian neighbor. It is really a tearjerker (赚人热泪的) film, which is funny, tragic, and heartwarming as well. Released 25 May in Hong Kong, 30 June in the UK.21. If you are a big fan of Batman and Superman, which film will you like best?A. Wonder WomanB. The MummyC. Baby DriverD. A Man Called Ove22. Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella because________.A. her eyes are very beautifulB. she doesn’t say anything as the mummy in the filmC. she gives an excellent performanceD. she is a woman with strong emotions23. Which of the following statements is right according to the text?A. Wonder woman is the first female superhero.B. Sofia Boutella performs as well as Tom Cruise.C. Baby Driver is a musical like La la Land.D. The audience of A Man Called Ove may experience different feelings.BWhen I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn, so I walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said: “All roads lead home.”It is true. In this life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. What is important, though, is how we travel them. Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith? Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey? The choice is ours.24. Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?A.Because he could have fun in nature.B. Because he could watch TV all day.C. Because he had many friends.D. Because he used to explore the old dirt road.25. How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?A.He thought he would be scolded by his parents.B. He felt contradictory in mind.C. He thought he would be trapped in the woods.D. He was unconscious.26. What does "something” probably mean in paragraph 3?A.DoubtB. HopeC. CourageD. Fear27. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A.Always make choices on our own.B. All roads lead home.C. It’s our attitude that matters in our life.D. Every effort is worthwhile.CIn many ways, Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living community. It is home to about 400 elderly residents and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center---a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond.Established in 1991, the ILC’s purpose is to allow kids to learn about acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC. The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded.“For the ILC children, interacting with the residents is simply part of their day-to-day life here and the way aging is ‘normalized’, which may be the most important benefit they receive ,”Hoover said. “I’ve had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened to be in a wheelchair.”As for the seniors, they’re delighted by the companionship the children provide. The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are widows or widowers and can become lonely. Their adult children may still be working, so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a community. The young and the old connect and learn from one another at this unique facility.28. ILC is intended to _______.A. build a typical senior living communityB. take good care of the childrenC. benefit both the children and the seniorsD. rid the seniors of loneliness29. From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children _________.A. keep in touch with the seniors even if they have left ILCB. come to realize that aging is a normal part of lifeC. take different attitudes to the elderly after graduationD. think it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC30. The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.A. the benefits the seniors receiveB. the situation of the seniorsC. children’s companyD. the interaction between the children and the seniors31. The underlined words this unique facility may refer to _________.A. a special buildingB. a typical familyC. a typical teaching programD. a special learning centerDAre you content with the shape of your nose? If not, the climate may be to blame , not your parents.This is according to a recent study carried out by scientists from Pennsylvania State University, US. They found that climate played a key role in shaping our noses. The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses of 476 people from four regions---West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe, using 3-D facial imaging technology.“People have thought for a long time the difference in nose shape among humans across the world may have arisen as a result of natural selection because of climate,”Arslan Zaidi, one of the lead authors of the study, told The Guardian. But while previous studies were based on measurements from human skulls, Zaidi and his team looked at nose shape itself.The result showed that wider noses are more common in warm and humid climates, while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry climates. That, Zaidi said, could be because narrower nasal passages help to increase the moisture(潮湿) content of air and warm it，which is easier on our lungs. This, in turn, led to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator.More study is still needed to test the link between climate and nose shape, but Zaidi believes the current findings are valuable in understanding potential health issue.“As we become more of a global community, we are going to come across climates that we are not adapt to,”he told the Guardian. This means moving to a very different climate might increase the risk of breathing problems.However, he added, “This may not be necessarily true for various reasons such as of modern medicine and the fact that our current climate is very different from what it used to be.”32. From the passage we know most people from Singapore have ________ noses.A. widerB. narrowerC. smallerD. larger33. Narrower noses are helpful to ________.A. cool the airB. warm the airC. take in more oxygenD. dry the air34. What can be learned about the study?A. Zaidi’s team measured human skull using 3-D technology.B. Shapes of our noses are determined by our parents.C. Nose shape helps people adapt to the environment.D. It’s certain that people will suffer from more breathing problems.35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. What factors shape noses?B. How to make your nose attractive?C. Nose shapes cause breathing problemsD. Climate shapes noses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。

AIf you want to become a fluent English speaker you shou ld take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most i mportant thing you must remember is that if you want to impro ve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentenc e, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need f or you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever yo u see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enou gh. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you c an write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you c an listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay att ention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, the n you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of in puts in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is g oing to say. This never means that you should not practice list ening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are eas y. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BB C programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve quickly, and you can be a fluent English speaker one day.1.

AFlying can be fun and exciting, no matter what you choose to do. But have you ever thought about what happens on the plane?Here are some of the most interesting things that happen.Do planes drop human waste while in flight?When you flush a toilet on a plane at an altitude of 30,000 feet, there must be a question on your mind: “Is this about to land on a farmer’s house?”Take it easy. A plane’s toilets cannot be emptied in the sky. The waste is stored in tanks on board and can only be operated by the ground crew.However, why is news like “blue ice falling out of a plane” reported? Is blue ice human waste? Stories about blue ice are true but rarely happen. The FAA said some lavatory holding tanks have a blue chemical in them. If a tank leaks high in the air, the water freezes once it hits the outside air, and melts before it lands on the ground.Is turbulence (颠簸) dangerous?It’s scary, uncomfort able and spills your drink. But is turbulence something you really need to worry about?Absolutely not. It’s part of flying, and it isn’t dangerous. Turbulence is caused when two masses of air hit one another at different speeds. Wind, thunderstorms and closeness to mountains are all possible reasons. Despite how dangerous it feels, turbulence won’t crash your plane. Even in extremely rough air,the wing is not going to break off.Why are plane windows round?If you have traveled by plane before, you may have noticed that every plane window has a round design. This isn’t to make the plane look good. It’s for the safety of everyone on board.As the airplane flies higher and higher, the outside atmospheric pressure gets lower and lower. In the end, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside. At this time, windows that can resist pressure are needed.Square windows can crack. The different pressure inside and outside put stress on the right angles. However, rounded corners help to reduce these stresses by spreading them around the window.21. It can be learned from the passage that________.A. passengers’ waste falls onto the land directB. blue ice frequently falls out of planesC. blue ice from a plane is a great safety threatD. passengers’ waste is dealt with on the ground22. According to the passage, turbulence________.A. is very dangerousB. seldom happens during flyingC. may crash a planeD. can be caused for many reasons23. The plane window has a round design for the purpose of _________.A. economyB. securityC. beautyD. convenience24. The passage is meant to ________.A. tell us some interesting facts about flyingB. inform us of flying safety tipsC. warn us of the danger of flyingD. introduce us the design of a planeBChinese colleges have come up with an unusual way to help freshmen settle in. They turn their gyms into campsites for moms and dads, some of whom have traveled thousands of miles across the country, to say goodbye.For the past five years, Tianjin University in northern China has provided free accommodation for parents in what it calls "tents of love". Other schools let parents sleep on mats in school gymnasiums."Going to college is a life moment and my parents didn’t want to miss that," said Zhang Jinqi, a freshman at Tianjin University majoring in applied chemistry. His parents traveled with him on the 19-hour train journey from Jiangxi province in southern China.Images of schools gyms packed with parents have been widely shared on Chinese social media prompting a debate on whether China’s only children are too coddled.Some have voiced criticism of Tianjin University, saying that they think both the parents and the children should be more independent.Xiong Bingqi, the deputy director of think-tank 21st Century Education Research Institute，thinks the problem is overstated. "It has always been a problem in China that at the start of every school year, colleges are packed with parents who come along to drop off their children and stay with them," he said. "For some families, it’s their way to celebrate the first-ever family member who’s able to go to college," Xiong added. "There’s nothing wrong with sharing the happiness."Zhang’s father said the decision to escort their son was a no-brainer. He and his wife are among the many "campers" who sleep in the 550 temporary tents set up in the Tianjin University gym."My child has lots of luggage and we also want to go travel," said his father Zhang Yonghui. "The hotels nearby are fully booked so I had to sleep in the tents."Their son also shrugged off the criticism although he said he was looking forward to living on his own for the first time. "Being accompanied by my parents doesn’t mean I’m spoiled."25. Zhang Jinqi thought his parents accompanied him to his university mainly because _____.A. they wanted to go to travel in TianjinB. they wanted to help him with his luggageC. they wanted to witness his important life momentD. they doubted his independence26. Xiong Bingqi thinks going to college with parents’ company ______.A. is not such a serious problem as people thinkB. is a chance for freshmen to travel with their parentsC. is a long-lasting problem to be solvedD. is not good for the freshmen to build up their independence27. The underlined phrase “shrugged off” probably means_________.A. was in favor ofB. thought nothing ofC. was ashamed ofD. was concerned about28. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. “Tents of love” is widely criticized.B. Chinese only children are too spoiled.C. There are different opinions on “tents of love”.D. Chinese college education is faced with a big challenge.CTimes are a little tough at our house right now. Neither of us makes a lot of money, but years of experience have taught us how to walk between the raindrops and make it from one month to the next with a fair amount of grace. I cook a lot at home, more when we're facing lean times. When I know that I have to keep us fed on not much money, I fall back on my grandmother's recipes. She taught me to cook.When I was a kid, my twin brother and I spent long summer weeks and Christmas vacations with my mother's parents in the mountains of North Carolina. Rather thango hunting with my grandfather on frozen mornings, I found myself more and more in the kitchen with my grandmother, watching her making a lemon cheese pie with her soft hands.My great-grandmother died when my grandmother was 11 years old. As the eldest daughter, she was expected to take on all of the housework while attending school. Throughout the Great Depression, she learned how to make a little food go a long way. Vegetables were cheap, so she cooked a lot of them, mostly only using small amounts of meat for seasoning. Roast beef was a twice-a-month luxury, but there was nothing she couldn't do with a chicken, every part of it. Nothing went to waste.Now I understand that her food was sacred（神圣的）. I feel connected to my grandmother and to hundreds of years of family when I'm in my kitchen making country food. In the delicious smells is a long tale of victory over hard times, of conquering starvation—of not just surviving, but finding joy and pleasure in every meal of every day.From grandmother I learned to take real satisfaction in feeding people. My grandmother would beam with pleasure over a heavily laden table and say：“Do you know what this would cost at the restaurant？”I never knew what restaurant in particular she had in mind, but I knew that the question was totally not fair, because no restaurant anywhere can cook like a grandmother. But now, thanks to her guidance and years of practice, I can.29. According to the passage, the author cooks a lot at home because__________.A. she wants to try out her grandmother’s recipesB. she is quite particular about foodC. the food in restaurants is unhealthyD. she and her husband are embarrassed financially30. According to the passage, the author’s grandmother__________.A. learnt to cook because of the Great DepressionB. was good at cooking as well as careful in budgetingC. preferred chicken to beefD. had to walk a long way to learn cooking in a restaurant31. It can be inferred from the passage that the author___________.A. liked to compare her grandmother’s food with that in restaurantsB. learnt something more precious than cooking from her grandmotherC. hasn’t found the joy in cooking though she can cook like her grandmotherD. feels connected to her grandmother when making country food in the kitchen32. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Cook like my grandmotherB. My grandmother’s sacred foodC. My grandmother’s recipeD. Joy and pleasure in cookingDThe city of Hangzhou in Zhejiang province is a frequent headline. As a major tourist attraction in China, there were so many tourists during last year’s hottest travel seasons th at most of them see only the top of each other’s heads rather than one of the many sights. Hangzhou is also famous for creativity and famous people, being home to Internet giants such as the Alibaba Group and Net Ease.However, the city has never drawn so much attention as it did in September, when the G20 Summit welcomed heads of the world’s 20 major economies and international organizations. For two days, they discussed topics including strengthened policy coordination, building new paths for growth, effective economic and financial governance, as well as strong world trade and investment.On the night of Sept 4, the city also entertained its guests and audience from around the world with a marvelous party directed by Zhang Yimou. The show, entitled Symphony on West Lake is based on Zhang Yimou’s Impressions of West Lake, an astonishing performance that takes place right on the surface of the water, combining music, dance, and light effects all against the backdrop of nature.Influential discus sions and attractive shows may be enough to draw the world’s attention toward Hangzhou, and for young people around the world, the G20 summit has more to offer. It is a global event that they can take part in as volunteers, to develop their communication skills. It is a multicultural dialogue, affecting these young people’s future career; it motivates and inspires youths of different cultures to exchange ideas; it even helps young Chinese people to learn more about their own culture. And these reasons are what are drawing the notice of young people toward the G20 summit.33. What has been discussed in the G20 Summit according to the passage?A. New policy of political growthB. International cooperation of economic developmentC. Exploration of outer spaceD. Communication of worldwide culture34. Which can be inferred from the passage?A. Most tourists enjoyed Hangzhou sights last year.B. Hangzhou drew the most attention for its beauty.C. Hangzhou is a city of entertainment.D. The marvelous party was probably held outdoors.35. What can be learnt from the last paragraph?A. The G20 Summit was only intended to benefit Hangzhou.B. The Summit volunteers were Chinese young people.C. The Summit will influence the young people a lot.D. Volunteers came to the Summit to learn about cultures.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage. I thought, ―If I miss this opportunity, surely theschool will never invit e me again to any of their programs.‖I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling.

That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking.After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speaker, faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I come again next time.Around one month later, I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation. This time I was feeling comfortable. My speech was not only appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.After delivering successfully, I became more confident. I said to myself, ―If I can speak in front of such a lea rned audience, like the principal who educates others, I can now speak in front of others too.‖I started delivering lectures in my plant, on various topics like Self Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills.

Rankin discovered that 70 percent of their waking time was spent on one thing only —communication and that vocabulary predicts financial success. New words make us better thinkers as well as communicators. But how to extend your vocabulary?Hybrid (杂交产生的) corn combines the best qualities of several varieties to ensure maximum productivity. A hybrid approach to vocabulary should, in the same way, ensure maximum results. That’s why you should use the CPD formula.Through Context. When students in a college class were asked what should be done when they came across an unknown word in their reading, 84 percent said, ―Look it up in the dictionary.‖ If you do, however, you short-circuit the very mental processes needed to make your efforts most productive. But there’s another reason. Suppose someone asks you what the word ―fast‖ means. You answer, ―speedy or swift‖. But what’s the real meaning, it all depends on the context. After all, there are over twenty different meanings for ―fast‖ in the dictionary. But the dictionary doesn’t tell you which meaning is intended. That’s why it makes such good sense to begin with context.Through Word Parts.Now for the next step. Often unfamiliar words contain one or more parts, which, if recognized, provide definite help with meaning. Take the word ―monolithic‖ for example. Try to separate the parts. There is the prefix mono-, meaning ―one‖, and the root –lith, meaning ―stone‖. Finally, there’s the suffix –ic, meaning ―consisting of‖. Those three parts add up to this definition: ―consisting of one stone‖. With the prefix, suffix and root elements, you can build up vocabulary in giant leaps, up to a thousand words at a time.Through the Dictionary.Now you can see why you should consult the dictionary last, not first. You’ve looked carefully at the context. You’ve looked for familiar word parts. Now you play Sherlock Homes. In light of context or word parts, you try to solve a mystery. What exactly does that strange word mean? Only after you go through the mental gymnastics to come up with a tentative (不确定的) definition should you open the dictionary to see if you’re right.You are now personally involved. Your increased interest will lead to a better memory of both word and meaning. It also encourages your development of the habits needed to accelerate your progress. In that way, the CPD Formula provides the exact approaches for maximum effectiveness.Well, there it is, your new formula — Context, Parts, Dictionary. Use it! The results will be like the money in the bank.32.
