B.A center for children without fathers.C.A charity organization.D.A temporary shelter for lost children.25.What made Jennings decide to devote to helping Georgia Baptist Children’s Homes? A.His selflessness.B.His loneliness.C.His sympathy for the children.D.His wealth from recycling.26.What do we know about Jennings from the passage?A.He has planted 79,000 trees in the process.B.He collects and sells other things besides paper.C.He is the only one to do the recycling in the community.D.He broke up with his son because he refused to help him.27.What the friend wrote in the Facebook suggests that___________.A.Jennings is too old to do the recyclingB.Jennings is seldom respected these daysC.people should treasure the value of Jennings’deedsD.people should draw a lesson from what Jennings didCDo people really put messages into bottles? Has anyone ever found such a message? The answer to both questions is yes.A Greek teacher named Theophrastus put messages in bottles about 2,300 years ago.Hewanted to prove that the Mediterranean Sea was formed by water coming in from the Atlantic.The bottles floated from the Atlantic into the Mediterranean and proved him right.During the rule of Elizabeth I of England(1558—1603),spies sent messages back to England in bottles.Because of this,the queen’s assistant opened every floating bottle found.Anyone else was forbidden to open such a bottle.In the late 1700s,Ben Franklin used bottles to show where the main ocean currents in the Atlantic are.His findings,and the charts he drew,were correct.They were so accurate,in fact,that they are still followed today.In 1929 German scientists sent a bottle floating in the South Indian Ocean.The message asked the finder to record the date and place of the Finding.It asked that the note and boric be set afloat again.The bottle first landed at Cape Horn at the tip of South America.In 1935 it was picked up the second time,off the coast of Australia.The bottle had traveled more than 16,000 miles,possibly the farthest trip by a bottle.The longest trip in terms of time took 150 years.A Japanese sailor sent a bottle floating in 1784 when his ship was wrecked on a Pacific Ocean reef.In 1943 it was picked up—in the Japanese village where he had been born.Thousands of bottles are out on the waters today.The United States still uses bottles and other floating objects to study ocean currents.The United States Fish and Wildlife Service used them to study fishing grounds.Keep your eyes open.You just might find one.28.Which of these events happened first?A.Theophrastus proved how the Mediterranean was formed.B.Ben Franklin showed where Atlantic currents are.C.Spies sent messages to England in bottles.D.The Japanese sailor’s bottle was found.29.What do we know about the bottle sent by the German scientists?A.It was received by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service.B.It was opened by one of the Queen’s assistants.C.It floated directly to the sender’s birthplace.D.It was picked up twice during the long trip.30.It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A.the bottle sent by German scientists floated past Cape Horn without being seenB.a Greek teacher helped show main ocean currents in the Atlantic OceanC.the Japanese sailor never saw his bottle again after he sent it floatingD.the message from the Japanese sailor was found by an Australian31.What can be the best title of the passage?A.Floating Bottles B.Study of the OceansC.The History of Bottles D.Scientists and BottlesDWhen you’re out with a friend and take a photo of yourselves,do you know that you are also creating a work of art? Or that you are competing with Vincent van Gogh himself? Probably not.Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍)on WeChat or QQ,but you probably don’t think of the internet as a gallery or of yourself as an artist.But the manager of London’s Saatchi Gallery,Nigel Hurst,thinks that the casual pictures we take of ourselves do have something in common with self-portraits by the great masters.In support of the idea,the Saatchi Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Self-Expression,which is running now until May 30.It features well-known self-portraits from artists including those drawn by Dutch painters Van Gogh and Rembrandt.It also has selfies on show,which include one taken by US celebrity Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former UK Prime Minister David Cameron,according to the BBC.The gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show.Hurst is perhaps not being 1 00 percent serious.He isn’t claiming that a snap you take of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a self-image painted by Van Gogh.But he does make a serious point.Once upon a time,it was only artists who could make images of themselves.They were the only ones,as Hurst told The Guardian,who“had the skills,materials and tools to create self-portraits.”Today,however,we“all have that ability through our smartphones.”And Hurst described the smartphone selfie as an example of“a transform in society using technology as a means of self-expression”.He told The Guardian:“The selfie generation is becoming the self-expression generation as each of us seeks to explore and share our inner creativity through the one artistic tool to which we all have access,the smartphone.”32.What is the new exhibition intended to express?A.A celebrity’s selfie is more likely to become a masterpiece.B.Selfies are a better way to express oneself than self-portraits.C.Smartphones have changed the way people understand the world.D.Selfies have something in common with great artists’self-portraits.33.What does the underlined word“those”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Self-portraits.B.Selfies.C.Artists.D.Visitors.34.Which of the following would Nigel Hurst agree with?A.Selfies help us master the skills used by earlier artists.B.Every snap you take of yourself can have artistic value.C.Self-portraits of great masters have lost their attraction.D.Selfies offer people a chance to explore their creativity.35.What is the writer’s purpose in writing this article?A.To remind readers of works from some famous artists.B.To explain the reason for people enjoying taking selfies.C.To introduce a new exhibition of selfies and self-portraits.D.To make a comparison between selfies and self-portraits.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(注意:如果选E涂AB;选F涂AC;选G 涂AD)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。

(1)Text 2M: How long have you been working at the grocery store? W: Eleven months, but it seems like a day!(2) It doesn’t even feel like work, because I enjoy it so much. I hope to stay for all four years of high school.Text 3W: I’d like a desk for my room, Dad. (3) I need somewhere to put my books. Right now, they are all over my bed, and I always lose pens and papers.M: Well, that sounds like a good reason. We can get one this weekend.Text 4W: Dinner is going to be ready in fifteen minutes. Are you on your way home?M: Yes, I am. I mean, I will be. I’m just finishing up one last report for my boss.(4)I won’t be late this time, I promise. Text 5W: How are you coming along with your research paper?M: I’ve finished all my research, but I haven’t been able to organize it, (5) so I haven’t begun writing the paper yet. Text 6M: It’s been ages since I’ve seen you. How’s it going, Judy? W: Great. My new bakery is doing well. (6) How are you, Gary? You look busy.M: Yeah, ever since school got out, we’ve been fully booked. W: That’s strange. Why would people need car repairs? Just because the school year is finished?M: I think it’s because everyone’s going on vacation.W: Oh. You think they want their cars ready for long road trips? M: It makes sense, doesn’t it? And they’re willing to pay for repairs now.W: Maybe it’s because everyone has more free time now. (7) Text 7M: Hello, I heard from my friend that you carry hard-to-find books. He strongly recommended your bookstore for these books. Do you carry a copy of Secret signed by the author?(8)W: Yes, I know the title, but only one is available now, and it’s not signed. If you need it soon, I recommend buying that.Otherwise, I can search online to find a signed copy. It could take some time, though, and of course, it will cost more.M: I understand that, but what really matters is the signature.I’m giving my father the book as a gift. He was a fan of the author’s. (9)W: I see. If you give me your p hone number, I’ll inform you whenI find something.Text 8 (第10题为总结题)W: I heard there is a storm coming tonight. Do you know how bad it will be?M: The news report said we’ll get at least four — maybe even six inches of rain throughout the night.We might even get some ice on the roads, as well as small balls of ice falling from the sky.W: Oh, no. I hope no one will get hurt. (11)M: I’m sure it’ll be all right, dear. (12)But we should get ready for it. Let’s go to the grocery store and get some basic food. We should also make sure all the windows in the house and the car are shut tight.W: But what about our garden, and the flowers I planted?They could get blown down. Oh, dear, I’ve worked so hard to grow them. (11)M: Well, we could cover them with something to protect them.Everything will be okay. Let’s go get ready!Text 9W: Good morning, John.M: Hello, Professor Williams. How are you today?W: Excellent. You may have heard that our department received a large research award (13)M: Yes. Congratulations, Professor. (13)W: Thank you. Well, we are going to begin a fairly large research study, and we need assistants. You have alwaysbeen a very bright, reliable student.

A chimpanzee is an intelligent African animal that is like a large monkey without a tail. When Jane was young, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee. And she became interested in these animals. (17)In 1957, her love for animals led her to call Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous scientist, who offered her a job as an assistant. Even though she had no college degree, he asked her to become a researcher. She lived with the chimpanzees for over thirty years and wrote down what they did. She published her research. Some people criticized her research. They said she should have given the chimpanzees numbers instead of names.(18) After she left the jungle, she became interested in saving the environment.(19)She opened the Jane GoodallInstitute in 1977 to educate people about the environment. She has written many books and still travels around the world, helping children understand the natural world. In 2002, she opened a Jane Goodall Institute in Hong Kong, China.

AOn a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the New Y ork railway station, playing his violin. The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into the hat of the young man.The next day, the young artist came to the same place, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it under his hat. Then he began to play the violin. It sounded more pleasant than ever.Soon he was surrounded with people who were attracted by the words on that paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim(认领)it soon.”After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said, “Yes, it’s you. I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here.” The young violinist asked calmly, “Are you Mr. George Sang?” Th e man nodded. The violinist asked, “Did you lose something?” “It’s a lottery ticket(彩票),” said the man. The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang’s name was seen. “Is it?” he asked. George nodded and took the lottery ticket and kissed it, then danced with the violinist.The violinist was a student at an arts college and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna. Later his classmate asked the violinist, “At that time you needed money to pay the tuition (学费)and you had to play the violin in the railway station every day to make money. Why didn’t you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?” The violinist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty I won’t be happy forever.”Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us.21. What did the young artist do at the railway station on Friday?A. He played the violin to make some money.B. He waited for the train to Vienna.C. He came to buy a train ticket to Vienna.D. He walked around the New York railway station.22. Which of the following statements is true according to the words on the paper?A. The hat belonged to George Sang.B. George Sang had lost something important.C. The young artist needed George Sang’s advice.D. The young artist wanted some money from George Sang.23. From this article, we can learn that ______.A. we should share something valuable with othersB. playing the violin can make you honestC. it’s accept able to keep the lottery if you find oneD. being honest is very important to usBA recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has caused a stir in China and in the UK.The documentary, titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough? focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire.The teachers instruct the students for a month. The pupils are then tested, and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic(学术的))performance.The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems, with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy.This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage rotelearning(死记硬背)instead of independent thinking. For instance, Chinese language teachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment(思想感情)from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching.Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, “The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to ins pire students’ interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply ‘transplanted’ into another place.”Yang Dongping says, “The documentary does reflect so me problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel prize winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair comment on this issue. He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students.”24. Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens?A. To test the intelligence of the UK teens.B. To help the school improve their teaching efficiency.C. To do some practical research into the UK education system.D. To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods.25. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “harsh” in the fourth paragraph?A. Extremely strictB. Quite friendlyC. Rather coldD. Very attractive26. According to Yang Dongping, Chinese teaching methods ______.A. fit all countriesB. could be improvedC. are the best in the worldD. are not as good as British methods27.According to the passage, you know______.A. A successful education method can be simply transplanted.B. A successful education method can not be followed.C. Culture is very important to education methods.D. Education methods can change culture.CWhile CCTV’s educational show AnimalWorld is well known, few big screen wildlifedocumentaries have been made by China’s filmindustry.But Born in China, which came out on Aug 2,2016 may be important for Chinese filmmakerswho want to get into nature -themed films. The movie, directed by Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, was shot in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and shows the animals’ lives during different seasons.Born in China not only brings to audiences the lives of animals that are rarely seen in the wild—giant pandas, snow leopards, and golden monkeys, but also shows Chinese traditional culture.A symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body is thought to show yin and yang, which ancient Chinese ideas were based on. The panda’s gentle nature shows how yin and yang lead to peace. It can be seen in the film when a panda mother guides her baby to look for independence and explore the world.Unlike the shy pandas, monkeys always have strong personalities. The Monkey King in China’s most famous novel Journey to the West has many conflicting traits(特点). It stands for not only impatience but also cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2-year-old golden monkey who leaves his family, but then returns and understands the meaning of responsibility.Just as the golden monkey, a mother snow leopard also faces difficulty in raising her babies in the wild. The leopards, known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork(脚步), have inspired a form of pictographic(象形拳) in Shaolin martial arts(武术).“Born in China is a means to show off Chinese traditional cu lture,” director Lu told the reporter. “Chinese people have learned a lot from wild animals since ancient times. This is why I shot this nature -themed documentary.”28. How is Born in China special according to the article?A. It shows Chinese traditional culture through the lives of animals.B. It’s considered the best nature-themed film to come out of China.C. It’s the first big screen wildlife documentary ever made in China.D. It shows audiences the lives of rare animals.29. We can learn from the article that in Born in China, _______.A. the story of the giant pandas shows the importance of exploring the worldB. the story of the golden monkeys was inspired by the Monkey KingC. the stories show how animals grow up to be independentD. the story about snow leopards shows what people can learn from animals30. What may be the best title for the text?A. The stories of 3 animal familiesB. Symbols of ChinaC. Wildlife born in ChinaD. Nature shows culture31.According to the article, which of the following is not true?.A.Culture can be influenced by nature.B.Monkey stands for impatience , cleverness and energy.C.People can imitate(模仿)animals.D.Nature can instead of cultureDOne advantage of the Internet is shopping conveniently online for clothes; one disadvantage of the Internet is also shopping conveniently online for clothes.“Nothing fits,” said Lam Yuk Wong, a senior in electrical and computer engineering at Rice University. “Everyone says this. They order clothes and they don’t fit. People get very unha ppy.”Wong and her design partner, Xuaner “Cecilia” Zhang, are Team White Mirror, creators of what they call a “virtua l (虚拟)fitting room”. Their goal is simple and consumer-friendly: to let online clothing shoppers have a perfect fit and a perfect look when shopping every time. Both women are from China, Wong from Hong Kong and Zhang from Beijing. They both order most of their clothing online. They got the idea from their ownexperience as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. “They say, ‘The color is wrong’ or ‘I got the right size but it still does not fit.’ We want to make it like you’re in the store trying on the clothes,” Zhang said.Using a Kinect developed by Microsoft for use with its Xbox 360 video game player, Zhang scans Wong and turns her image into, in effect, a virtual model, keeping Wong’s dimensions (尺寸), and even her skin and hair color. “We put the clothes on the shopper’s 3-D body models and show how they look when they are dressed,” Wong said. So far, Wong and Zhang have adapted the software to show dresses and shirts, and they are now working on shorts.Asked if she thought men as well as women might be interested in using their virtual fitting room, Wong said, “I think their wives will care about this, so it will also be important to men.”32. Why is shopping conveniently online for clothes a disadvantage?A. Students may easily get addicted to it.B. Clothes bought online may not fit.C. It attracts more online clothing shoppers.D. It causes shoppers to waste too much money.33.Wong and Zhang got the idea to design a virtual fitting room from ____.A. their shopping experiencesB. a program at their universityC. some shop-owners’ complaintsD. the Xbox 360 video game player34.Which of the following shows the process of using the virtual fitting room?A. scanning -- trying on clothes -- getting imagesB. trying on clothes -- getting models -- scanningC. scanning -- getting models --trying on clothesD. trying on clothes -- getting images -- scanning35.What did Wong think of her virtual fitting room?A.It is perfectly developed.B.It will have its market share.C. It is limited to women shoppers.D. It is like a kind of video game player. 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。

AMy dad was in the Air Force. When I was a kid, we moved every few years. That meant a lot of good-byes. It also meant getting used to a whole new community and a whole new school each time we moved. I can still feel what it was like to have to walk into the new school —that sinking feeli ng in my belly, that heavi ness in my throat. It would always take time for me to learn how everything worked, what was cool and what was not. It was always a struggle to find where I could fit in.Already shy, I did n'have much self-c on fide nee in my frien d-mak ing abilities. I was the girl walking in the halls with her head down, panicking. When I spoke, you could hardly hear my soft voice. I was nervous and doubted myself a lot.It was very hard not havi ng a history with every one else. I was an outsider. But what I did have was soccer. Wherever I went, I knew that I could fit in with the soccer ball. The soccer team meant a familiar place and immediate friends for me.I could express myself and feel good about myself on the field. Playing hard helped to get rid of all my n ervous ness.Throughout our lives, our self-respect goes down when we feel like a failure, and it goes up when we feelsuccessful. Doing something well, being praised, and feeling lovedgoes a long way. We all n eed to explore opport un ities where we can be good at someth ingand feel good about ourselves. Physical activity and sport participation is a terrific way to build up our sense of self-c on fide nee and self-worth.21. How did the author feel about moving to a new school?A. Delighted.B.

He heard that Hollygrove Home needed a library, but all they had was an empty space and lots of kids without books.The next day, when Brandon ' s teachsekread the students to come up with ideas for acommunity service project, Brandon remembered what he had heard. An idea occurred to him at once. What about all the books he had read? He had many that he was too old for, and knew his friends had some, too. What if they gave them to the Hollygrove Home to create a library? Brandon started a project to collect books, and soon he had 847 books. The big empty room at Hollygrove was filled, and every child had a book to take to bed at night.When Brandon entered 7th grade, he, as well as his friends, began another book project.In one week, the school collected 5,000 books. The Hollygrove library couldn ' t handle them all. A local public school, Limerick Elementary, became the next new library created by Brandon and his friends. The headmaster realized that Brandon ' sidea was simple and effective. She began sharing it throughout the schools in Los Angeles.Brandon was surprised when, one day, a photographer from the Los Angeles Times called him out of class. They wrote about him in the newspaper, which led to some local community service awards. Then he was invited to appear on the very popular TV program Oprah . Brandon said, “ After appearing Oonprah , many people knew about us and we wereable to set up a non-profit organization called BookEnds. ”By 2001, the 60,000 volunteers had collected around 150,000 books for BookEnds. They had completed 46 libraries, with 32 more under development, helping more than 40,000 children who didn ' t have books before.Brandon feels especially good that BookEnds is growing. “ There are 60,000 people involved and I ' mjust one of them. It 'gsreat to know you ' vemade a difference and that things are going to change because of what you ' ve done. ”24.

AMy dad was in the Air Force. When I was a kid, we moved every few years. That meant a lot of good-byes. It also meant getting used to a whole new community and a whole new school each time we moved. I can still feel what it was like to have to walk into the new school—that sinking feeling in my belly, that heaviness in my throat. It would always take time for me to learn how everything worked, what was cool and what was not. It was always a struggle to find where I could fit in.Already shy, I did n’t have much self-confidence in my friend-making abilities. I was the girl walking in the halls with her head down, panicking. When I spoke, you could hardly hear my soft voice. I was nervous and doubted myself a lot.It was very hard not having a history with everyone else. I was an outsider. But what I did have was soccer. Wherever I went, I knew that I could fit in with the soccer ball. The soccer team meant a familiar place and immediate friends for me. I could express myself and feel good about myself on the field. Playing hard helped to get rid of all my nervousness.Throughout our lives, our self-respect goes down when we feel like a failure, and it goes up when we feel successful. Doing something well, being praised, and feeling loved goes a long way. We all need to explore opportunities where we can be good at something and feel good about ourselves. Physical activity and sport participation is a terrific way to build up our sense of self-confidence and self-worth.21.How did the author feel about moving to a new school?A.Delighted.B. Stressed.C.

He heard that Hollygrove Home needed a library, but all they had was an empty space and lots of kids without books.The next day, when Brandon’s teacher a sked the students to come up with ideas for a community service project, Brandon remembered what he had heard. An idea occurred to him at once. What about all the books he had read? He had many that he was too old for, and knew his friends had some, too. What if they gave them to the Hollygrove Home to create a library? Brandon started a project to collect books, and soon he had 847 books. The big empty room at Hollygrove was filled, and every child had a book to take to bed at night.When Brandon entered 7th grade, he, as well as his friends, began another book project. In one week, the school collected 5,000 books. The Hollygrove library couldn’t handle them all. A local public school, Limerick Elementary, became the next new library created by Brandon and his friends. The headmaster realized that Brandon’s idea was simple and effective. She began sharing it throughout the schools in Los Angeles.Brandon was surprised when, one day, a photographer from the Los Angeles Times called him out of class. They wrote about him in the newspaper, which led to some local community service awards. Then he was invited to appear on the very popular TV program Oprah. Brandon said, “After appearing on Oprah, many people knew about us and we were able to set up a non-profit organization called BookEnds.”By 2001, the 60,000 volunteers had collected around 150,000 books for BookEnds. They had completed 46 libraries, with 32 more under development, helping more than 40,000 children who didn’t have books before.Brandon feels e specially good that BookEnds is growing. “There are 60,000 people involved and I’m just one of them. It’s great to know you’ve made a difference and that things are going to change because of what you’ve done.”24.

A new study in the UK found that women are more likely to notice something than men when determining another person’s feelings based only on their eyes and eyebrows.In the study, the researchers surveyed a total of 2,000 men and women in the UK. They were shown pairs of eyes and eyebrows and asked to choose the correct term that describes which emotion (情绪) that person is expressing. In general, women were found to be slightly better at reading other people. Two thirds of women in the survey correctly recognized five or more emotions. Only 56 percent of men were able to do this.The researchers also found that women were more confident in their ability to read emotions. Half of them reported that they were either “slightly better” or “much better” at doing so than their friends and family, while only 44 percent of men said the same. The survey also showed that men and women differ in their abilities to notice particular emotions.Women were more likely to recognize “vulnerable emotions,” including someone being shocked or scared. More than three quarters of them were able to do so, but only 60 percent of men could tell that someone was scared. When it comes to recognizing a “guilty” look, women beat men by five percent.In the survey, men were found to be better at recognizing emotions related to desire and anger. Roughly 58 percent of men could correctly discover someone was interested in something from what they saw, and 41.9 percent could recognize desire.The researchers say the ability improves with age — until you reach 65. The best scores were seen in people aged 55-64 and 45-54. People aged 65 and over were best at determining when a person is “guilty.” On average, people scored 4.9/10 on the test. The researchers say this suggests that most people can’t recognize other people’s moods as much as they think they might.32. What did the researchers find in the study?A. Men were better at noticing guilty looks.B. Men did better than women in recognizing anger and desire.C. Women could recognize people’s emotions from their eyes and words.D.

The older a person is, the better he or she can read other people’s emotions.D. People aged 65 can best notice whether a person is interested in something.35.

How Well Can You Read Emotions?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。
