Last term she had been a student in Nelson’s grammar class, but she had to drop the class because her son Kendall was h aving a problem in school. The problem was that he wasn’t studying. Catherine decided to spend more time watching him. Nelson was getting to be an old man. He had been teaching for almost 40 years. He could have retired<退休）10 years ago, but he loved teaching. He said his students gave him something to look forwa rd to every day. He planned to teach until he dropped dead in the classroom.Nelson needed to take a little gift to Catherine to show his t hanks for the i nvitation. He couldn’t think of what would be good. Opening his kitchen cabinet, he found the perfect gift—an unopened box of tea. In a kitchen drawer, he found some fresh-looking wrapping paper. He wrapped the box of tea up well. Feeling proud of himself, he drove over to Catherine’s and rang the doorbell.He gave his gift. Catherine made a funny face. She said she loved the wrapping paper. Then she unwrapped the tea and made another funny face. “Nelson, I gave this tea to you at the end of last term, and I wrapped it in this paper!”Nelson’s face turned red. He told himself he had to be more careful with gifts in the future. He said sorry to Catherine. She smiled and said, “It’s okay. It’s the thought that counts<有价值）. ”50. Why did Catherine drop the class?A. Because she was having a problem in school.B. Because she didn’t like studying.C. Because Nelson would stop teaching.D. Because she wanted to spend more time watching her son.51. What can we learn from the passage?A. Catherine didn’t love her son.B. Nelson was careless with gifts.C. Catherine was angry with Nelson.D. Nelson didn’t want to go for the dinner.52. What is the best title for the passage?A. A Good MotherB. A Hardworking TeacherC. A Thoughtful GiftD. A Wonderful DinnerDWhen I was a child, my mother often told me, “Don’t run around, or bad uncles will grad<抓住） you. And you know what? You will never see Mum and Dad again.”“Why, Mama? Why would these uncles grab me?” I would ask. “The city is a dangerous place andwe don’t trust any strangers, ”she would reply. Well, that might answer the question of why my second brother never picks up calls from an unknown person either on his mobile or his home phone. It seems that he doesn’t care if he misses an important call. because he thinks that all unknown calls are from bad persons.So, have we given too much protection to our young kids? Perhaps it is so. But the adults’thoughts are indeed easy to understand. The kids meet swindlers sometimes as we adults tell them. Also they get some news about cheating<欺骗） in newspapers or on TV every day. That makes the kids believe that they just cannot trust strangers.Let’s look at an example from everyday life. Say, if someone carrying a wooden stick<棍子）comes nearer to you, will you try to run away at once even before he or she starts talking to you? Will you guess this person’s intentions<意图） and think that he or she wants to rob<抢劫） you of something? Think of the answer for yourself.Of course, the kids should look after themselves, but overprotection can sometimes stop them from making new friends. Sometimes it’s not good for their new friendships.Trust is like a mirror. When we offer trust to people, they might just show you trust in return.53. What do “swindlers” probably do?A. They cheat other people.B. They often call other people.C. They rob peop le of something.D. They teach children to protect themselves.54. Which of the following is NOT the reason why children don’t trust strangers?A. Their parents tell them not to trust strangers.B. They ge t to know some news about cheating in newspapers or on TV every day.C. Strangers always have bad intentions.D. They sometimes have experiences of being cheated.55. What does the writer want to tell us?A. Children should always follow their parents’ advice.B. We should never talk to strangers.C. Parents should learn to protect their children.D. People should try to trust each other.七、阅读短文, 根据短文内容, 从短文后地五个选项中选出能填入空白处地最佳选项.选项中有一项为多余选项.<共4分, 每小题1分）Thirty years ago, I walked into a bakery and asked for some bread to sell. At that time.

Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here. In China, I had English classes five times a week since Grade Five. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss SchoolConnecticut. When I first studied English, I was told to say. “I’m fine. ”when people say “How are you?” but in the US, I found that people say, “I’m good. ”or “I’m tired. ”One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused<迷惑地）. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say. Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures. To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan<褐色）. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”. I was also surprised to know how hardworking US students are. In China, Schoolwork is almost everything, so we study and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music. The kids here are so talented. I am starting to feel sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.60. Where is the writer at t he moment?61.

When the trainman makes an announcement, it's often quite boring. But this one was 1 .As I looked up from my paper, I 2 others also listening. Not only that, they smiled!Why was so much attention being paid to this message?As best I can remember, the trainman said, "Good morning. Ladies, Gentlemen and 3 . It's 7:35 a. m. and you'll be glad to know that we are right on time. What a lovely morning it is in Sydney today. The sun is shining, the temperature is about 21 degrees, birds are singing, and all's right with the world. Thanks for 4 my train and I hope to see you again.Have a great day!"Wow! Have you ever heard an announcement like that? I certainly hadn't. As well as getting everyone smiling, there were quite a few people who started talking to one another about how good the message had made everyone feel.The moment I got off the train, I ran into the young trainman and started to 5 him.He seemed a bit 6 at first. Continuously I said, "Well, I just wanted to thank you for your brilliant message on the way. It got everyone's attention and smile. Thank you so much for giving us such a good 7 to the day."1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.That day I got two messages. The first is that people's happiness atwork shows in what they do and say.

She always used to keep candyin her pockets, and she'd always give us somewhen we came to visit. My dad used to playjokes and say, "Grandma, don't give them anycandy!” But she did it anyway.—Rosa, MexicoAll my aunts and uncles used to come overfor Sunday dinner and there were alwaysabout 12 of us around a huge table. Sugarwas my favorite food and I would eat somewith my cousin and then play games.

After my parents got divorced, myfather married a woman with two sons, andthey had two more kids together. Anyway,the five of us used to play basketball on ateam. Besides, we all liked bread a lot.—Justin, CanadaWho has the happiest memory about Sunday dinner?What did Haruka use to eat with her niece and nephew?What did Justin and his brothers play?15.Charles Dickens was an English writer. He was born in 1812. He created some of the world'sbest-known characters and many readers think he is the most important writer of the Victorian era （1837—1901）. Some of his famous novels are Oliver Twist, David Copperfield and Great Expectations. Most people in his novels lived in London.In 1824, Dickens, father went to prison （监狱） because he couldn't pay money to someone. In those days, a man's wife and young children went to prison with him. Charles was 12, so he left school to work in the prison. Life was hard, and a lot of children worked in those days. Dickens' own experience helped him to write about poor children without a mother or father. Dickens' success began with the publication （出版） of The Pickwick Papers in 1836.And his book Oliver Twist is about a boy without father. Important people were more interested in the problems of poor people after reading Dickens' books.A.In 1812.B.In 1824.C.In 1836.D.In 1901.（1）A.In the prison. B.At a school. C.On a farm. D.In an office.（2）A.B.C.D.（3）Dickens' novels are often very long and he wrote them in different parts for a newspaper each week. His novels have a lot of exciting and sad things in them. He wanted his readers to buy the newspaper every week. And the readers wanted to finish the story! Dickens' novels are popular because many of his stories are about social （社会的） problems and family life.Dickens was successful in writing and he has been praised by other writers for his style and characters.When was Charles Dickens born?Where did Dickens work when he was 12?Dickens' novels are popular because .they have a lot of exciting and sad thingsthey are about social problems and family lifehe has been praised for his style and charactershe is the most important writer of the Victorian era16.Next time you hear yourself wishing for something better in your life, remember the word"SMART" . When you've decided to take action, read the following first.S is for specific （具体的）; For example, instead of setting a goal （目标） of "I want to lose weight" , set yourself a specific goal like "I want to lose five kilograms" . If you want to climb a high mountain, start your research, set a date and train for the climbing fitness.M is for measurable （可测量的）; Don't try to "become healthy" , instead, set a goal that can be measured while carrying out an improved eating, exercise or lifestyle plan. For example,try to go to the gym for an hour three times a week, to visit your grandma once a week for an evening meal, or to eat no more than 200 grams of chocolate a week.A is for achievable （可完成的）; If you've never exercised in your life, don't try to take part in the 2020 Olympics. Rather, get walking with a specific goal of how many steps to take a day.No need to try for the stars—baby steps are good.R is for relevant （恰当的）; Many of us choose goals that seem right, but are in fact wrong. They may go on for a few weeks before they fail. Try to avoid making the same mistake —rather choose goals that really speak to you.A.lose weightB.take exerciseC.set a goalD.spend time（1）A.Five exercise plans,B.Five suggestions.C.Five training steps.D.Five big letters.（2）A.B.C.D.（3）T is for time-conscious （心中有数的））; Finally, be very clear in your mind about how much time you are giving yourself to achieve the goal. That way, you know when you've succeeded, failed or whether you need to work harder to finish it before the last day.According to the passage, the writer tells us how to .What does the word "SMART" mean in the passage?Which of the following is not true according to the passage?Specific numbers should be included in the goals you set.You should begin with small steps while achieving a goal.In order to make the goal fit for you, you should be careful.More time should be given for you to achieve your goal.17.Do you know some great inventors and their inventions? What factors（因素） are needed for their success?Well, good timing for a start. You can have a great idea which thepublic simply doesn't want… yet. The Italian Giovanni Caselli invented thefirst fax （传真） machine in the 1860s. Although the machine was excellent, his invention quickly died a commercial （商业的） death. It was not until the 1980s that the fax became very common in every office… too late for Giovanni Caselli.Money also helps. The Frenchman Denis Papin （1647—1712） had the idea for a steam engine （蒸汽机） almost a hundred years before the better-remembered Scotsman James Watt was even born… but he never had enough money to build one.You also need to be patient （it took scientists nearly eighty years to develop a light bulb which actually worked ）… but not too patient. In the 1870s, Elisha Gray, a professional inventor from Chicago, developed plans for a telephone. Gray saw it as no more than "a beautiful toy" .However, when he finally sent details of his invention to the Patent Office （专利局） in February, 1876, it was too late. Almost the same invention had arrived two hours earlier… and the young man who sent it. Alexander Graham Bell, will always be remembered as the inventor of the telephone.A.3.B.4.C.5.D.6.（1）A.having no idea ofB.doing no good toC.getting no chance ofD.paying no attention to（2）A.B.C.D.（3）A.How to be a successful inventor.B.How to get a great idea from nature.C.How to have good commercial sense.D.How to make money from inventions.（4）Of course what you really need is a great idea—but if you haven't got one, a walk in the country and a careful look at nature can help. The Swiss scientist, George de Mestral, had the idea for Velcro （魔术贴） when he found his clothes covered in sticky seed pods after a walk in the country. During a similar walk in the French countryside some 250 years earlier, Rene Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur had the idea that paper could be made from wood when he found an abandoned wasps' nest （蜂巢）.You also need good commercial sense. Willy Higinbotham was a scientist doing nuclear （核能的） research in the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, USA. In 1958, the public were invited to an exhibition in the Laboratory to see their work, but both parents and children were more interested in a tennis video game on the screen. Soon hundreds of people were ignoring the other exhibits to play the first ever computer game-made from a simple laboratory instrument called an "oscilloscope" . Higinbotham, however, never made money from his invention: he thought people were only interested in the game because the other exhibits were so boring!How many factors do inventors need according to the passage?The word "ignoring " in the last paragraph probably means " " .What can you learn from the passage?Giovanni Caselli invented the first fax machine in the 1980s.Denis Papin afforded to build a steam engine a hundred years ago.Elisha Gray missed the chance to be the inventor of the telephone.George de Mestral got an idea from a walk in a French countryside.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?四、任务型阅读18.Garbage （垃圾）IslandYou can't see it from the air. It's almost impossible to see from a ship. But somewhere in the North Pacific is a huge island of garbage, just below the water surface.What is the island made of?（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）The garbage island is not an island, but a collection of millionsof plastic and other objects （物体）. The water movements of thePacific Ocean bring the objects together and cause them to goaround in a big circle.Charles Moore found it in 1997 and named it "the GreatPacific Garbage Patch".Where does all the plastic come from?Much of the garbage comes from everyday objects, such as shopping bags and water bottles. Some of these objects finally reach the ocean. Garbage from the western coast of North America takes about six years to reach it. Objects from East Asia take about a year. Other garbage comes from ships passing through the area.Is the Garbage Patch dangerous?The larger pieces of garbage are a problem for wildlife. For example, sea turtles （海龟）and seabirds often think the plastic is their food. They eat the plastic and die.In addition, the plastic stops sunlight from reaching deeper water. Without sunlight, very small sea animals die. Then, there is less food for larger fish to eat.What can we do to help stop it?Cleaning up the island isn't easy. But we can make people realize the problem. One environmentalist （环保主义者）, David de Rothschild, is sailing around the world in a boat made of plastic bottles to teach people about the problem of garbage in the sea.Another idea is that can recycle the plastic garbage. Environmental engineer Cesar Harada is building a robot that collects pieces of plastic. Harada hopes to use his robot in the Pacific.Harada also has a website for reporting environmental problems. He says, "I hope everybody can become an environmental activist."What is the garbage made of?How long does it take objects from East Asia to reach the island?Is the garbage island dangerous?Why is David de Rothschild sailing in a bottle boat?According to the writer, what can we do to help stop garbage island?五、书面表达（二选一）19.完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。

So when the bell rang, I rushed to the dining hall at once. Minutes later, I stood in front of the counter （收银台）,holding a tray （托盘） full of food."Three dollars, " the lunch lady told me. I reached my hand into my 2 and felt nothing. The schoolbag was empty. I searched again. Still nothing. I was almost certain I had put three bills in it last night. I put the schoolbag on the floor to search for the money again. As I finally 3 the money wasn't there, I could feel the worry and fear washing over me.Feeling quite 4 , I didn't notice that another person had stepped up to the counter.When I finally looked up to tell the lunch lady my 5 , I saw, in the corner of my eye, a boy walk quickly past. I paid no attention to him, and I opened my mouth to speak."I'm sorry. I don't have any money with me.""Honey, he paid for your lunch. You're good, " the lunch lady said as she pointed to the direction the boy had gone.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.I looked in the direction she pointed to, yet I could not find the boy. I missed the chance to 6 him. He was nameless to me. He didn't even know me. But he paid for my lunch.Although it was only three dollars, I couldn't remember anyone doing something so nice for me.A month later, on my way home, I saw an elderly woman struggling （费力） with heavy bags.

"Is that your money?"Jamila looked up from the book she was reading. "Oops. I emptied my pockets before I left for soccer practice yesterday. I was running late, so I didn't have time to take the money up to my room." Jamila's mom handed her the bill and watched as her daughter placed it in her book.Jamila went back to reading. A moment later, she heard her mother give a deep sigh （叹息）. "Jamila, you just put that money in your book. I'm quite sure thatyou won't be able to find it when you need it. You are working so hardto save for a new bicycle. I don't want you to lose any of your hard-earned （辛苦挣得的） money. Don't you have a piggybank? "Jamila nodded. "I have one, but the key doesn't work and I can'tget the money out. Some of my money is in a jar （罐子） on my desk. Some is in a box on my bed.

" she asked excitedly."Of course, " answered her mom. "You might be surprised by how much you have when your money is all in one place. At least you'll know where it all is."At the bank, Jamila and her mother opened a savings account. The banking manager explained how the money in the savings account would earn interest. The longer the money stayed in the account, the more interest it would earn.Jamila was surprised to learn that she could earn money just by keeping her money in a savings account. "I wish I had done this a long time ago." she winked at her mom. "Maybe I'd have already saved enough to buy my bike."Where did Jamila put the money after her mother handed it to her?Mrs. Johnson thought Jamila should have a bank account because .it could encourage Jamila to work harder for her new bicycleJamila put money everywhere and might lose some of itthe money in a savings account could earn interestJamila spent much more than she earnedHow did Jamila feel when she knew she could earn money by keeping money in thebank?16.CNote-taking is a skill that can help you do well on all your schoolwork--everything from taking tests to researching a paper.If your teacher writes notes on the board, that's a bonus: You can copy them down. If not,write down the most important points from class. For example, does your history teacher mention the date of the Second World War? Or repeat a piece of information? Write it down! It can take time to learn how to listen for the key information, so keep trying and don't give up.If you want to write down every word that's said in class, you'll be mad. So it's necessary to develop your own signs, for example, "pics." for "pictures," or "hw" for "homework." They can help you more quickly take notes. And if you pay too much attention to getting your notesA.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.The ways to review notes.B.The skills of correcting notes.C.The methods to perfect notes.D.The necessity of taking notes.（3）right, you might miss listening to what the teacher is saying. Don't be afraid to ask the teacher to repeat something you miss. If you don't want to ask in class, see your teacher after class.It is easy to miss information while taking notes, so compare your notes with what the textbook says 一you can add to your notes as you read. Go over your notes with a friend and compare what the two of you have put down. It will make you two be able to notice mistakes and reinforce what you're learning. It can also help you remember information when it's time for a test.Even if you don't have a test coming up, you'd better look over your notes within 24 hours of taking them. Your brain will start absorbing （吸收） the information while it is still fresh in your mind. Then when you study in the days before a test, you will be able to recall the information much better. Instead of simply reading your notes to yourself, say them aloud.Studies show that speaking aloud helps in memorization. When you speak, try paraphrasing （意译） sometimes rather than reading directly. Paraphrasing and speaking aloud requires your brain to do more work, making it more likely that you will understand what you're studying.Good note-taking takes time. But the time you spend writing and reviewing notes pays off.Not only can this help you do better in a test, it's also a great confidence supporter when you're studying and find yourself saying, "Hey, I remember that!"If a teacher doesn't write notes on the board, students should .read the textbook and underline the important pointswrite down the information repeated by the teacherlisten carefully without taking notescopy a friend's notes in classWhat can we learn from the passage?Writing down words in short helps avoid missing important information.Students should try their best to make sure the notes are right in class.Reading the notes aloud can help students find out mistakes in notes.Students need to spend time practising the skills of taking notes.What's the fifth paragraph mainly about?17.DA.B.C.D.（1）Students in western Ohio （俄亥俄州） have to say "bye-bye" to snow days. Snow may fall,but students won't be able to spend the days sledding （滑雪橇）. Classes will continue—online.Officials say that holding electronic workdays (e-days) will help students keep up with their studies. It will also prevent requiring students to make up schooldays later in June.Which would you prefer ：spending a cold day on a computer, or sitting in school in June when you should be on vacation? Jordan Dewar a student reporter, holds the opinion that having online work on a snow day is the better choice, "You would be working on a day that you already planned on having schoolwork.""Having extra days of school in summer can interfere with （妨碍） families' vacation plans.Besides, what if your school does not have air-conditioning? Imagine sweating through seven hours at school on a hot June day when you could have been relaxing by a pool with your family. Doesn't an e-day sound better than that?" Jordan Dewar said.For some students, it would be easier to concentrate （专注） on e-days than on makeup days. "You can do a little work online, go play, and then come back later," says Rachel Meyers,12. "But on June days you would just have to sit there for seven hours, thinking about how you could be outside, so you lose focus."There are some students arguing that it's not fair to ditch snow days, however. They say that snow days give them a much-needed break. They also note that missing a day here and there is not enough to put them behind. Most students in Silver Valley School think one problem of e-days is that sometimes siblings （兄弟姐妹们） have to share computers at home.In addition, it punishes the students who don't have computers at home. When school starts again after e-days, these students will be left behind and have to work double-time to catch up."School budget cuts （预算削减） across the country are expected to continue into the 2017-2018 school year," the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) Web site states. "The school wouldn't be able to afford both online classes and taking care of the school,"Austin Krewson, an eighth grader, says.Moreover, electricity is likely to be cut off during snowstorms. If kids don't have power at home, the money and the time in running the new program would be wasted.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?Officials suggest students should have more schooldays in June.Officials believe snow days put students behind in their studies.Students have to end snow days earlier than planned.Students won't have sledding classes at school.A.B.C.D.（2）A.Give up. B.Put off. C.Carry out. D.Pay for.（3）A.B.C.D.（4）The student reporter, Jordan Dewar, believes that .siblings can help each other with their studies on e-days.students can learn better on e-days than on makeup dayshaving e-days in winter will save the cost of air-conditioningstudents should study online when it snows heavily on weekdaysWhat does the word "ditch " in Paragraph 5 probably mean?The writer mentions the statement on the AASA Web site to .explain the reason to hold the e-day programshow the difficulty of running the e-day programsuggest government should spend more money on educationstress why some students can't afford computers for online classes四、任务型阅读18.The Art of the ElephantsIf your cat walked across something you were painting and left footprints behind, would you consider your cat an artist? What if your bird held a colored pencil in its beak （喙） and painted on a piece of paper? Most people may think of animal art as a joke, but some people have been taking it very seriously.Elephants were used for hundreds of years in Thailand's logging industry （伐木业） . They moved wood from forests in areas where there were no roads. At the beginning of this century,when the forests of Thailand began to quickly disappear, the government put a stop to logging.All of a sudden, many elephants in Thailand no longer had a way to make a living.Some elephants were treated badly. Others had to try to live on their own and couldn't find enough to eat. There were once tens of thousands of elephants in Thailand. Today, there are less than five thousand. When two Russian-American artists, Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid, first heard about the troubled elephants of Thailand, they knew that something change had to be done to forever change the way people treated Thai elephants. Then, they came up with an idea to help these elephants.Komar and Melamid visited elephant camps in Thailand and began to show the elephant trainers how to teach the elephants to paint. At first, the trainer had to guide the elephant's trunk. The elephants became more comfortable doing this with practice-- and lots of sweet snacks-- and finally started to paint on their own. The strange idea that Komar and Melamid had（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）to save the elephants actually began to work. They even helped found several elephant art schools in Thailand and in other Asian countries. The elephants and their trainers go there to learn about painting and get supplies they need.Today, people begin to buy elephant artwork from galleries （画廊） all around the world.Some are even willing to pay more than $2, 000 for the work of the elephant artists! Some people compare the cheerful, brightly-colored artwork to the work of some great abstract （抽象的） painters. Some people are just happy to buy these special and original （原创的） art works. Others think they are helping the troubled elephants in this way. The next time you see a piece of colorful abstract art, find out who the artist is. You just may be surprised at what you learn!What may most people think of animal art?What did elephants do in Thailand's logging industry?How many elephants are there in Thailand today?What was Komar and Melamid's idea to help the elephants in Thailand?Please list one reason why people buy elephant artwork.五、书面表达（二选一）19.假如你是李华，这周五上午你们班将参加一次综合社会实践活动。

boy．A（15）was on his face．He wished to do as he was told．Ralph helped his mother with the farm work and he was very happy．"Now you must be tired and （16），"said his mother．"Have a good rest here and eat

American called Simon went to London to visit his friend，Rick．Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor．When he arrived，Simon went straight to the first floor of the building．But he was told that there was no one called Rick on that floor．Do you know why？In fact，the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor．The floor above the ground floor is the first floor．But Americans would call it the second floor．The story shows that there are some differences in culture between Britain and America，though the British and Americans both speak English．The British usually hide their feelings．They seldom start a conversation with strangers．For example，on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books．But Americans are quite different．They're more active and easier to talk with．The British and Americans may use different terms for many things．The British usually use football，eraser and mail while Americans like to use soccer，rubber and post．When we go to other countries，we'd better go online to search for something about the cultures there．It'll be helpful for the trip．21．Simon went to London to．A．have a meetingB．study EnglishC．spend his holidayD．visit his friend22．Which picture shows us where Rick's flat was？23．According to the passage，the British usually spend their time on the train．A．playing cardsB．talking loudlyC．doing some readingD．singing and dancing．15．On a warm day in 2050，Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house and turn on the computer in their bedroom to get the latest news．They used to read The Guardian，but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago．Frank first reads some news about space：another space flight has returned from Mars．Then they turn to sports news．As they watch the screen，Mary pays for a robot to make coffee for them．Then Frank disappears into another room to join a video meeting with his business partners around the world．Frank is a computer engineer．Mary is still in their bedroom．She picks up the video phone to talk to her assistant（助理）．Mary also has a job and she is doing medical research．Both she and Frank used to have office jobs in London，but in 2040they decided to move to the seaside and work from home．Frank and Mary have one daughter，Louise．She goes to school only three days a week，mainly to ask her teachers questions，discuss her homework or play with other students．Some classrooms disappeared in 2035because there was no longer much need for them．The Internet had made it easier to learn at home．Louise，now thirteen，is studying Chinese at present，which has become a world language as important as English．Louise has many Chinese friends．They share many things online．According to the family doctor，Louise will live to be at least 130．Her wish is to work for a few decades（十年）and then spend her time studying music and painting or doing her favorite things．24．Frank reads news about first．A．travelB．spaceC．musicD．sport25．According to the passage，the writer believes that in 2050．A．Louise won't go to schoolB．Mary will be a computer engineerC．a robot can make coffee for Frank and MaryD．all the people will live to be at least 130years old26．What can we learn from the passage？A．People won't enjoy their life in 2030．B．There won't be any classrooms in schools in 2035．C．More and more people will work in offices in 2040．D．China will play a very important part in the world in 2050．16．Do you need to"edit（编辑、剪辑）your friends"？Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you don't really want to talk to？Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends？Do you say yes to invitations because you think you should，not because you want to？If you answer yes to at least two of these questions，then perhaps you need to"edit your friends"．Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school．The result is that we don't have enough time to see our real，close friends．As our life gets busier，it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see，people we love and who really love us．But usually we don't have any time to get together with them．Who are the friends you need to edit？A few years ago I read a book about how to choose between necessary things and unnecessary ones．It says you should ask yourself about each thing you have：Is it useful？Do I really like it？Do I feel better every time I look at it？If the answer is no to any one of those questions，you should throw it away．Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends．What kind of friends will you probably need to edit？Sometimes it's an old friend，somebody who you used to have a lot in common with，but when you meet now，you have very little or nothing to say to．Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with，but who is taking up too much of your time．Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting，think"Do I really want to see this person？"and if the answer is no，say no and make an excuse．In that way you'll have more time to spend with your real friends．27．People need to edit their friends when．A．they have moved to a different areaB．they have no time with their real friendsC．their friends have gone out to work or schoolD．their friends have got on quite well with them28．People don't need to edit their．A．old friendsB．new friendsC．real friendsD．young friends29．What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3？A．We should often ask questions．B．We should treat our friends well．C．Most of our friends are not necessary at all．D．We should ask ourselves who our real friends are．17．Sometimes parents spoil（溺爱）too much their children，because they offer them too much attention and try to carry out all their wishes．It is true that a good mother wants her child to be happy and to spend the most time with him or her．Anyway，it is sometimes suitable for mothers to leave their children much time alone，because he or she needs to create his or her own personality without the influence of the others around．As a child，what do you think of that？Do you like the time your parents spend most with you or the time your parents leave you alone？Mothers'behavior can be，at times，negative for their children if they spoil them too much．Children should also know that things cannot always happen the way they want，and they have to accept this．Crying andyelling aren't always the perfect ways to attract their mother or father，in order to make them do a certain thing．Therefore，mothers who used to spoil their children too much should not give up their jobs in order to stay at home with their children，because they give a negative education to these children．A girl won't be able to make her bed，iron a pair of trousers，tidy up her room and so on，because it's her mother's duty to do those for her，while she can do other things like playing with her mobile phone，watching TV，listening to music or wearing some make﹣up to go out with her friends．What about your mother？Does she go to work or stay at home to take good care of you？Can you do some chores for yourself or do some housework for the family？In my opinion，a good mother knows what education should be given to her child without giving up her job．Moreover，a mother is a good mother she is able to combine the both things：the education of her child and the job．Even if she doesn't have much time to spend with her child，a good mother knows what advice should be given to her child，for example，to listen to his or her problems，to help a little with homework and to offer him or her the independence he or she needs．What's your idea？Would you like your parents to get jobs？So，what should you do to make them believe that you can grow up as a person？30．Which of the following shows that a mother spoils her children？A．She cares for them too much．B．She brings them with her．C．She leaves them alone at home．D．She tries to realize her own dreams．31．According to the writer，a spoil child usually thinks that．A．his parents are always very negativeB．his parents will do everything for himC．he can express himself in the perfect wayD．accidents always take place in the same way32．The underlined word"combine"in Paragraph 3probably means．A．provideB．protectC．complainD．connect33．The last paragraph of this passage is mainly about．A．the education and the jobB．how to be a good motherC．children's early educationD．the importance of the independence．四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题．（共10分，每小题10分）18．Today at 11：00I will be doing something that some people told me that I would never be able to do．I am graduating from college．When I graduated from high school，my family had a business so I never thought about getting a college degree．I went straight to work for my father．After 24years of ups and downs （mostly downs），I decided that I went to return to school and earn a degree in Business Administration．Some people told me that it was too late．Some told me that I was too old．Others told me that I would never be able to pull it off，because I had to work full time and as a mother，I had to look after my children，too．Anyhow，almost everyone around me didn't think I could finish college．But inside I was told something different．I began to look for chances to go to school．One day while looking up information on how to go aboutgetting into college，a little window popped up （弹出）on my screen．It said，"Do you think you are too old to go back to school？"I was so excited that I clicked on the box at once and there I found an online college．I spoke to someone in the school．They told me that I could take classes any way that I wanted so that I could go to work．I also found out that I could have classes at home so that I could be there for my children．Now today，almost 2years later，I will not only be graduating with honors．I have been on the Dean's list for almost the whole time I have been in college．And I also got very good scores in every exam．So for anyone out there who thinks that something is out of reach or impossible，remember this：if I had listened to those people who told me，I couldn't do it then．The man who has made up his mind to win will never say"impossible"．34．Why didn't the writer go on with education after graduating high school？35．How many years later did the writer decide to return to school？36．Did the people think the writer could finish college？37．Where did the writer have classes？38．What does the writer want to tell us？．五、文段表达从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作．文中已给出的内容不计入总词数．所给英文提示词语仅供选用．请不要写出你的校名和姓名．19．假如你是李华，下星期天你和家人打算邀请你们班的交换生Peter去密云云佛山滑雪场滑雪（Yunfoshan Ski

friends"？Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you don't really want to talk to？Do you go out with people from work or schoolmore often than with your real friends？Do you say yes to invitations because you think you should，not because you want to？If you answer yes to at least two of these questions，then perhaps you need to"edit your friends"．Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school．The result is that we don't have enough time to see our real，close friends．As our life gets busier，it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see，people we love and who really love us．But usually we don't have any time to get together with them．Who are the friends you need to edit？A few years ago I read a book about how to choose between necessary things and unnecessary ones．It says you should ask yourself about each thing you have：Is it useful？Do I really like it？Do I feel better every time I look at it？If the answer is no to any one of those questions，you should throw it away．Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends．What kind of friends will you probably need to edit？Sometimes it's an old friend，somebody who you used to have a lot in common with，but when you meet now，you have very little or nothing to say to．Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with，but who is taking up too much of your time．Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting，think"Do I really want to see this person？"and if the answer is no，say no and make an excuse．In that way you'll have more time to spend with your real friends．27．People need to edit their friends when B．A．they have moved to a different areaB．they have no time with their real friendsC．their friends have gone out to work or schoolD．their friends have got on quite well with them28．People don't need to edit their C．A．old friendsB．new friendsC．real friendsD．young

A Winning DayMom and I were sitting in the front row of the basketball arena （球场）. Thanks to Mom's boss, I could watch my first professional basketball game in such a great seat! And the most exciting thing was that I could see my favorite basketball player, Dwight Edwards, in person. I was holding his photo in my hand all the time.Throughout the game Dwight made one fantastic play after another. With 3 seconds left in the game, he scored the winning basket for his team! After the television reporter finished interviewing Dwight, Mom and I walked toward him."Umm…Mr.…Mr. Edwards? I'm Keysha, and I think you're amazing." My heart was beating fast. But I collected my courage and asked, "Would you please sign my photo? ""Sure, Keysha. Thanks for coming today." Dwight smiled as he signed the photo and then shook my hand. I thanked him.As Mom guided my steps toward the exit, I watched Dwight until he disappeared into the locker room. When I turned around, I noticed a little boy holding a piece of paper and a pen and crying. "It's OK, son. " his father said, "We'll meet Dwight Edwards some other time."I looked at Dwight Edwards' signature and thought about how great it was to meet him.Then I thought about how kind Mom's boss was for giving us the tickets to allow me to have this experience.I handed Dwight's photo to the boy. "Here, I want you to have this." I said.The boy's eyes widened. "Dwight's autograph （亲笔签名）? Wow!" he exclaimed. "Thank you!""No problem." I replied."Keysha, that was very thoughtful of you."

IQ tests have managed to confuse many of us, leading us to believe that intelligence is largely fixed.It is not. Just like swimming, cooking, dancing, and many other things, being smart is a skill that requires training. I discovered some of the most important tools to be smart when I watched my professors for years to learn how to do useful research. Now I will share them with you.Practice self-critical thinkingCritical thinking is the act of questioning the arguments that are put before us. It is a valuable skill — without it, we are too willing to believe what other people say and easily get influenced. The problem is that we usually only apply （应用）critical thinking to other people's ideas. When we apply critical thinking to our own ideas, its power reaches a whole new level. I call this self-critical thinking. If you practice self-critical thinking, you will find imperfection in your arguments before anyone else and you can come up with a better idea. By practicing self-critical thinking, your mind will surprise you.Be persistentA.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.How to be smart.B.How to argue forcefully.C.How to be successful.D.How to do useful research.（3）Smart and successful people don't give up. They believe that they can do it, so they spend months, even years trying until finally something works out. You might know that Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before he succeeded. Actually, almost all scientists experience failure regularly. So if you want to be smart, be persistent.Learn to present your ideasYou may have your good ideas, but if you don't sell your ideas, no one will recognize their worth and consider you smart. So you need to learn how to present your ideas. Pronounce clearly, express your thoughts properly, and most importantly, let your enthusiasm （热情）about your ideas shine through. Enthusiasm spreads quickly. When you have something to say,say it well. Selling your ideas is not only good for your reputation （声誉）, others can also benefit from your message.Finally, you must also believe in yourself. Those who appear smarter than you simply have used the right tools to exercise their minds. You are smarter than you think.When we practice self-critical thinking, we .are very likely to doubt other people's ideasare willing to believe and accept other people's ideascan easily come up with better ideas than other peoplecan find weak points in our own ideas before other peopleWhat can we learn from the passage?Too many people think they can improve their intelligence.Scientists can succeed much more easily than normal people.Pronouncing clearly is the most important skill to express ideas.Others can recognize the value of your ideas if you sell them properly.What does the passage mainly talk about?17.I ask every student I interview for admission （获准入学）to my college the samequestion ， "What do you look forward to the most in college" I was surprised and pleased recently when a student replied ， "I look forward to the possibility of failure." This is not how most students answer the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic （学术） futures ，but this young man took a risk. "My parents have neverA.B.C.D.（1）A.Be interested in.B.Be ashamed of.C.Be doubtful about.D.Be pleased with.（2）A.B.（3）let me fail ，" he said." When I want to take a risk at something ，they remind me it's not safe.They think taking a hard course or trying a challenging activity will destroy my college admission.”This is not an uncommon story. Kids all over the world are under great pressure to be perfect. So it's hard to find imperfection in a college application （申请）. Students try their best to hide negative things and only tell us impressive things. But perfection doesn't exist （存在），and we don't expect to see it. In fact ，admission officers are likely to be skeptical of students who present themselves as persons without weaknesses.We want to find out who students really are outside of their medals and test scores. We get excited when we read an application that seems real. If their viewpoints are about lessons learned or challenges overcome ，these applicants are likely to jump to the top. We believe a mistake in high school should not define （定义）the rest of your life, but how you react could shape you forever.Teenagers will never be perfect. They do silly things ，mess up and fall down. The ability to bounce （反弹）back is a basic life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can't be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon. During my interviews ，another student told me ， "I'm ashamed that I failed my math class ，but I took it again and got a B-plus." "From the experience I learned to let go of shame ，" he said.

But some cars use electricity. They get theirpower from large batteries （电池）. There are also some cars that have both an electric motor and a petrol motor. They are called hybrid cars.Most people think of electric cars as a new invention, but they have been around for a long time. In the late 19th and early 20 centuries electric cars were popular because the technology for petrol engines was not highly developed. But when the petrol engines became easier to make and more powerful, they became more popular. Interest in electric cars was high in the 1970s and 1980s because oil became very expensive. Recently, electric cars have again become popular because people want cars that pollute less.Electric cars are better than petrol cars in several ways. The biggest benefit is that they can reduce pollution. In areas with a high percentage of electric cars, there is less pollution. But it is important to understand that electric cars still cause pollution. The electricity to power electric cars has to come from a power station. Unless these power stations run on solar or wind energy,they are most likely burning fossil fuels （化石燃料）. The second benefit of electric cars is a reduction in the dependence on foreign oil. Since electric cars can run on electricity from coal or nuclear power （核能）stations, there is less of a need to import oil.There are some problems with electric cars as well. One disadvantage is that electric cars are more expensive than petrol cars. This is mostly because of the high cost of the batteries.They need to be charged in special places. Right now, there aren't enough places where people can charge the batteries. Another problem is that electric cars cannot travel as far as petrol cars.Some people are afraid that the battery will run out of electricity before they reach their destination.Despite these problems, many people, including car industry experts, believe that the percentage of electric cars will increase in the future.th（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）What do electric cars get their power from?When were electric cars first popular?Why have electric cars become popular again recently?What is the third paragraph mainly about?What are the disadvantages of electric cars compared with petrol cars?五、书面表达(共10分)19.根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。
