In otherwords, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t.It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’taccepted by allpeople.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get educationonly for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact,ifeducation is just a way of making a living, people don’tneed to spend so much time in school.People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need notbe taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail, either. Here itis clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him tospeak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it isto make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make aman lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, readgood books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly notthe most important or the main reason.28. The underlined word “well-rounded ”in the passage means “ _______” in Chinese.A. 圆满的B. 崭新的C.公正的D. 全面的29. It is expected that educated people will be able to _____.A. accept education as a way of livingB. become interested in the whole worldC. develop their abilities to make playsD. learn subjects like language and math30.The passage mainly tells us that _______.A. education should make a man improveB. people can get education in a short timeC. people should be able to get better paying jobsD. all subjects are so important for a way of livingCJane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, and died on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices(成见) of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously( 匿名 ).But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous local people and visitors. She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure of learning Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced (加强 ) by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen's time and the importance of Bath in her life and work.The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen related(相关的) books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children busy.You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen's Bath, which is a great way to find out more about Jane Austen and discover the wonderful Georgian city of Bath. The tour lasts about one and a half hours. The experienced guides will take you to the places where Jane lived, walked and shopped.31. Jane Austen paid two long visits to Bath ______.A. in her early twentiesB. in her early teensC. in her late twentiesD. in her late teens32.What can we learn about Bath from the passage?

I was fairly well set up, but didn't own a lawn mower and after a week or two I realized that I would have to find some way to deal with the growing grass! I didn ’thave much money so I preferred not to pay a lawn mowing company.I was thinking about this one Sunday as the Mr. Whippy ice cream van( 小货车 ) pulled up outside on the street. I hadn't had a Mr. Whippy ice cream for years, So I heard outside immediately. On the road were three young boys aged 10 playing. It was a hot day and I asked them if they'd like an ice cream. "Yes, please," they replied happily. As I left the van, I heard the lady serving the boys say, "That was a really kind thing that lady did for you. Don't forget to thank her. " I smiled as I went inside to carry on working.I left for work that evening, and didn't return until the Tuesday morning. As I drove into the driveway, I realized something was different. Yes, my lawns had been mowed and my gardens had been weeded. I felt this big warmth rush into my heart and a smile across my face. Immediately, I knew my neighbors had done this for me, and went to thank them straightaway.They wouldn ’tknow that this act of kindness not only made a big difference to me, but it encouraged me to act further and set up a website focusing on kindness in the community. Thank you so much, neighbours.34. What was the author’s problem at the beginning of the story?A. She had trouble renting a big house.B. She failed to have her lawn mower mended.C.

Well, that is what the students in Class Afloat do.Class Afloat is a Canadian school on a tall ship! The ship is sixty-four metres long and nine metres wide and it can take up to sixty students. The classrooms are well-equipped(设备精良)and comfortable and there's even a library! There is no need to know anything about sailing-students can learn on the ship.Not all the students are Canadian-there's usually a mix of nationalities(国籍).This year, there are also students from Mexico, the USA, Germany and Turkey. There's a mix of ages too. There are secondary school students-first year university students and students who are doing a gap year(休学年)programme.The teachers design special study programmes for each student. Because the school is a ship, you can do some exciting courses-for example, Marine Biology(studying the animals and plants in the sea) and History or Geography courses about the places you visit. Students also learn all about sailing! All the classes are in English, so you must have a good level of English.Students don't just study. They must also clean, cook and sail the ship, in their free time, students can rest, read or watch a film. In the evenings, they relax with friends, have club meetings and sometimes they have a karaoke night.Every sixteen to twenty days, the ship stops in a port for three to six days. In port there're lots to do-home stays, camping trips, museum tours, cultural events, hiking, etc. They also go snorkeling and do other water sports. Parents can meet up with the students in one port every term. Students also take part in two volunteer programmes in Senegal(塞内加尔)and the Dominican Republic(多明尼加共和国). They help local families in different ways, for example, with basic health matters or starting a business. Students learn how, with just a little money and time, they can make changes that improve other people's lives.31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Students don't have to know how to sail before they join the ship.B. Besides studying, students also have to do jobs on the ship.C. Students have to speak English well in order to have classes on the ship.D. Students don't usually meet any local people when they stop in ports.32. What is snorkeling?A. It is an activity of hiking through the forest.B. It is an activity of swimming underwater.C. It is an activity of playing games in a tent.D. It is an activity of riding horses.33. The passage is mainly about ______ .A. special courses on a shipB. sailing around the worldC. a school on a sailing shipD. learning to sail a tall shipDDetective fiction is popular in many countries. There are two kinds: stories in which private detectives solve a crime, usually a murder; and stories in which a police detective solve a crime.Both kinds of detective story are equally popular.The first private detective---PI for private investigator in the USA---was probably Arson Lupin, a Frenchman. However, stories about this detective are not read nowadays. For most people the first, and perhaps the greatest, private detective, was the Englishman, Sherlock Holmes, a character created by the author Sir Author Conan Doyle. All the Sherlock Holmes stories have been translated into most languages. The best known is the Hound of the Baskervilles.The first police detective was probably Sergeant Cuff who solves the crime in the Moonstone, one of the first detective novels in English. The author, Wilkie Collins, was a close friend of Charles Dickens, the best English novelists of all the time.Crime fiction has been as popular in the USA as in the UK, and some of the most famous American writers have written detective fiction. The most highly regarded is probably Raymond Chandler whose PI, Phillip Marlowe, is the archetype(典型的) private detective. Also popular, although not so well-written, are the Perry Mason novels by Erle Stanley Gardner.After Conan Doyle, the most widely read private detective novelist is the English novelist Agatha Christie. She created two unforgettable characters--- Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christie’s have also been translated into most languages.Detective fiction is as popular today as it has ever been, probably because many novels have been adapted for television which introduced them to many people who do not usually read new detective crime fiction.34. Which of the following is a detective story writer?A. Hercule PoirotB. Perry MasonC. Erle Stanley GardenerD. Sergeant Cuff35. What happened to many detective stories?A. They have been long forgotten.B. They have been translated into English.C. Nowadays they are the least popular readings.D. They have been popular because of TV programmes.36. What have Arthur Conan Doyle, Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie in common?A. They all wrote stories about English detectives.B. They all wrote stories about private detectives.C. They all wrote stories about police detectives.D. They all wrote stories about American detectives.37. Which of the following does the writer imply(暗示)?A. Wilkie Collins lived at the same time as Charles Dickens.B. Arson Lupin is a popular character on television nowadays.C. Private detective stories are better reviewed than police detective stories.D. A successful writer of detective stories has to write private detective stories.四、词汇运用(每小题1分, 满分8分)(A) 根据句意和汉语注释, 写出单词的正确形式。

tried my best to ensure that school mornings remained calm and slow-paced.I prepared as much as possible the night before.But it still felt like we were in a rush,which I really hated.The trick.I later discovered,was to cover up my feeling of anxiety.I chanted to myself “Do not rush him,no one likes to be rushed”while helping him get through his morning routine and tasks in a timely manner.Whatever frustration(沮丧)I fell about how slow he was moving,I wouldn’t let him know it.I even didn’t allow anyone in our house to say phrases like,“Hurry up,we’re going to be late!”Our common goal,was not just to get our son out the door in time for school,but more importantly prove that mornings can be relaxed and enjoyable,rather than a horrible start to the day.Of course by the time summer holiday came,our family had grown wise enough.In what felt like the‘longest shortest time’,we went from anxious and confused,to calm and confident once again.We were far more prepared to have a smoother start to the new school year.28．What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A．She liked her new position.B．She got a promotion at work.C．She made good preparations.D．She had to face the challenge. 29．Which word is similar in meaning to the underlined words“hot mess”in paragraph3?A．disorganized B．busy C．confident D．hard-working 30．What is the text mainly about?A．Growth of kids.B．Experience as a school parent.C．New life in school.D．Advice on lifestyle change.Schoolchildren spend most of their time surrounded by their peers(同龄人).They spend a lot more time with classmates,teammates and fellow club members than with adults in their lives.Peer pressure can have a huge influence on the lives of children in grades two through twelve.From birth through age six,the family shapes a child’s sense of identity(个性).Parents and brothers and sisters affect a child’s likes,dislikes,tastes in clothing,food and music and, perhaps most importantly,values.Once children enter school,they form connections to the larger group of their peers.This group brings new ideas and experiences.Peer pressurehappens when a student’s actions are influenced by this group.The“pressure”happens when peers suggest or demand actions different from the child’s normal behavior and values.Peer pressure leads to some disturbing negative behavior in schoolchildren.In the USA, about75%of high school students have tried alcohol(酒)offered by their friends in middle or high school.According to a survey,students felt pressured by their peers between35and 49%of the time.The power of peer pressure can result from a schoolchild’s growing desire (渴望)to fit into a group.Thankfully,peer pressure can also be positive.For example,wanting to join an athletic group of friends may force a student who has been sitting for a long time to try out for the soccer team.In a survey on peer pressure,51%of teenagers felt that peer pressure was sometimes positive.One teenager responded,“Sometimes it can help you gain confidence.”Other examples of positive peer pressure include students encouraging a classmate to run for school president,or friends suggesting that a talented peer try out for a talent show. 31．What leads to schoolchildren’s peer pressure?A．The identity shaped by their family.B．The connections with their classmates.C．The childhood experiences with their friends.D．The differences in their behavior and values.32．Why do some schoolchildren behave negatively under peer pressure?A．To kill their boring time.B．To fit into a peer group.C．To help gain confidence.D．To improve social skills. 33．What does the author think of peer pressure?A．Peer pressure does more harm than good.B．Peer pressure is very good for schoolchildren’s growth.C．Peer pressure is not necessarily bad for school children.D．Peer pressure plays an important role in shaping a child’s values.When Oliver arrived in this hard world,it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond

Then,once he saw that Parton was all right,Endal ran back and forth to a nearby hotel,barking until people came out to help.Endal was rewarded for his bravery by being awarded a medal,and he has been the subject of a number of TV documentaries.()10.What is the main topic of the passage?A.Dogs are special in some wayB.Dogs that have helped their owners.C.Three popular kinds of dogsD.The best dogs in a competition()11.Which sentence about Zorba is true?A.He was taller and heavier than an adultB.He was heavier,but not taller than an adult manC.He was taller,but not heavier than an adult manD.He was neither heavier nor taller than an adult man()12.According to the passage,the world’s smallest dog weighed as much as____________A.a child’s handB.a matchboxC.half this bookD.Zorba()13.What does the underlined word“incredible”mean in this passage?A.wonderfulB.awfulC.excitedD.unbelievable四．词汇运用根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。

To solve these problems, a US company designed an environmentally friendly motorcycle. It uses electricity as fuel(燃料).As a result, there is no pollution. It's also quiet and fast. This makes 20 a good choice for getting around a city.The Italian city Venice is a city with only a few 21 . There are no cars in the city center. Instead of cars, water taxis and buses carry people along the city's canals(运河). However, they cause pollution, 22 to the water.

But, many mammals(哺乳动物) on the planet come in only two colors: black and white. Spend some time exploring what science has discovered about these animals' appearances, and you' ll see that basic black and white isn't so basic at all.25. According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE?A. The panda's white parts help it hide against snow.B. Both white spots and white stripes help skunks kill their victims.C. Zebras with wider stripes are less attractive to flies.D. Scientists have already known all the secrets about the stripes.26. What does the underlined word "vulnerable" mean?A. Being easily landed.B.

Why So Many Animals Wear Black-and-White CoatsC. How Wild Animals Protect Themselves from EnemiesD. How Black and White Become Basic Colors in Animal WorldBSummer is finally here for most of us. Sadly, summer is not so pleasant to people in a bit less lucky places, where air conditioning（空调） is not easy to get for most of them.But as a saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way, especially for those who like doing it yourself（DIY）. A young man from Bangladesh（孟加拉国） designed an air conditioning system called the Eco Cooler, one that does not require power, and is made of the world's most common waste-plastic bottles.The Eco Cooler is super simple to build-no special engineering skills are required. First, to fix it, a window should be taken away and replaced（替代） by it. Second, a board should be cut into the size of a window. Some bottle-neck sized holes should then be cut onto the board. Then, the funnel-shaped（漏斗状） bottlenecks, cut from the plastic bottles, should be put into the holes. The next step is to fix the design onto the window frame（框） with the wider side facing outwards. And this is it.The Eco Cooler then works by catching the winds and sending them inside the building. It can reduce the temperature of a room by as much as 5°C-a big difference when looking at comfortable 25°C compared to uncomfortable 30°C.The idea of the inventor, Ashis Paul, was to show his great product to as many People as possible. For this purpose, he received help from some groups of volunteers. Together, they offered to help local people build and fix the units, as well as teach them how to make them themselves.Yes, the Eco Cooler is not a super high-tech air conditioning system, but it is one that can makea big difference.28. When building the Eco Cooler, we should pay special attention to _____.A. the shape of the windowB. the direction of bottlenecksC. the temperature of the outsideD. the weight of the board29. What can we learn from the passage？A. Ashis Paul is a clever inventor and a successful businessman.B. An Eco Cooler can fix the room temperature to comfortable 25°C.C. The new invention of Eco Cooler is friendly to the environment.D. Local people will replace their air conditioner with an Eco Cooler.30. What's the best title of this passage？A. DIY air conditioning made from plastic bottlesB. Eco Cooler--a super high-tech air conditionerC. Why do we need an Eco Cooler in summer？D. A strong-willed inventor and his DIY dreamCIn 2017, when the high speed train. Furing, left Beijing for shanghai at a speed of 350 km/h, it amazed the world. It is China's newest high-speed train and also the fastest train in the world. Therewere2, 959 high-speed trains running across China by 2016. They make up60 percent of the worlds total high- speed trains. Chinese companies have also built more than 10 high-speed railways in Europe, Southeast Asia and South America. And the high speed trains has become anew name card for China.Besides the high-speed trains, many other innovations(创新)have also changed people's lives in China.For example, though bike sharing is not new itself China has made it much more convenient.And popular. When the Chinese bike sharing companies reached Singapore and Britain months ago, users there excited and couldn’t wait to post photos of themselves riding the bikes on social media(媒体).Cashless payment has become a lifestyle choice in China it is common that people in China go shopping with no cash(现金)in pockets. Many people just pay with their bile phones by scanning a quick respond code(QR, 二维码)from the seller. Even a person selling vegetables has a QR code. Many foreigners have experienced lives without carrying any cash in China. They say they can't do it when they are back home in Europe.China is now in a great time. It has made great achievements in innovation They are true pictures of national strength. It seems that China is really leading in some ways. And Chinese people have every reason to believe in an even brighter future.31. How many examples are mentioned to show China’s achievement in innovation according to the passage?A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. Four32. The underlined word “it” means ____.A. living in ChinaB. buying things without carrying any cashC. having QR codesD. making enough money by working hard33. The best title for the passage might be _____.A. China loads in innovationB. Science develops very quicklyC. China faces many chancesD. Science catches the world’s attentionDDon't Let Anxiety Hold You Back from Living Your DreamsAnxiety is the state of feeling nervous, worried or fearful. When you're anxious, you may feel something bad is going to happen.When you think of starting a new project or going into a group situation with people you don't know, do you feel butterflies in your stomach？Do you come up with lots of reasons not to do fun but risky things like joining a hiking club or a volunteer organization? If these happen, it shows that you are probably anxious, and your anxiety will stop you from going after your dreams. Actually, anxiety feeds on avoidance and makes you less confident, while getting started and taking action help your anxiety go down. But where do you begin？These suggestions below will let you be the master of your anxiety, rather than letting it master you.◆ Don't wait for your anxiety to go downYour anxiety won't go down on its own. However, when you take action towards your goals instead of considering what anxiety you have, you will build self-efficacy（自我效能）little by little—you begin to see yourself as someone who can take action and be successful even when you're feeling anxious.◆ Set a realistic goal that makes sense for youWe all have different personalities and preferences. We don't all want to be lawyers, have hundreds of friends, or run marathons. Whatever you want, just figure out what is the simplest thing you can do to get started. Set your goal specifically, for example, “walk for 20 minutes three times next week”. You can't climb a mountain all at once and you're more likely to achieve your goal withinside motivation（动机）than when you're Just trying to please others.◆ Trust the process（过程）Faith（信仰）is the first step to take action. Even if you don't have faith to begin with, faith will come if you just take that first step. The more you take action, the more likely you are to have some successes and begin to trust the process, I often start writing a blog post not knowing exactly what I 'm going to write. Now I've understood that if I share messages with my readers sincerely, then the content will appear naturally and anxiety will reduce slowly.◆…34. When you “feel butterflies in your stomach”, you may feel______ .A. successfulB. humorousC. lonelyD. fearful35. Which situation shows that you may feel anxious?A. Getting into a group situation with your friends.B. Making an excuse for not doing a risky activity.C. Being willing to work as a community volunteer.D. Feeling confident to join the school hiking club.36. From the passage we know that _____.A. Avoidance makes anxiety stronger and strongerB. Anxiety can help you build self-efficacy graduallyC. You should achieve your goal by pleasing othersD. Faith won't come even if you begin to take action37. What is the fourth suggestion probably about?A. Anxiety will prevent you from living your dream.B. Anxiety will make you worry about bad situation.C. You should cheer for yourself to control anxiety.D. You should set a meaningful goal to get started.四、词汇运用 (每小题1分, 满分8分)(A) 根据句意和汉语注释, 写出单词的正确形式。

Yet, with dark glasses or not, they findthemselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow blindness when exposed to several hours of snow light. The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in asnow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes often find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid (液体) which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see clearly, and the result is total, even though for a short time, snow blindness.Experiments led the army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts (侦察员) ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completelysnow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men following can then see something. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to look at, stop searching the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.34.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The whiteness from snow.B.Snow light and snow blindnessC.The need for dark glassesD.Headaches and watering eyes35.Snow-blindness can be avoided___________.A.by covering the eyeballs withe more and more tearsB.by walking ahead and keep looking aroundC.by making up for the discomfort of one’s eyesD.by providing the eyes with something to focus on36.What is the best title for this passage?A.Snow-blindness:what it is and whom it influenceB.Snow-blindness:what it is and how nature helpsC.Snow-blindness:how it forms and how to solve itD.Snow-blindness:how it forms and whom it hurts37.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.Solving the problem of snow-blindness is important in armyB.Snow-blindness was once a big problem but could be cured easilyC.The glare from snow is considered as the main cause of snow-blindnessD.Armies around the world pay attention to the problems of snow-blindness四、词汇运用1.More and more people use __________(电子的)instead of cash now.2.The government has done a lot to prevent this kind of disease from being ________(传播).3.The man of medium height was charged with __________(偷) a valuable necklace the other day.4.I’m sorry you are _______(完全)wrong.You’ve mistaken Lucy for Lily.5.It won’t be easy to reach an ________(agree) with their company,but we have to try our best.6.The fish will be much _________(taste) if you put some sugar in it.7.There is an old saying, “___________(proud) goes before a fall”.8.It was a great pity that the old man’s _________(serve) to the mountain area were never known by people.五、动词填空1.He didn’t even mention the difficulty he had at that time_________(control)the moving train.2.So far,not only the highways but also the railway___________(connect)the two cities.3.---How was your flight to Hainan?---Couldn’t be worse.We__________(keep) at the airport for five hours.4.If I ________(take) a rest when he comes,please ask him to wait for a while in my office.5.What a great pity it is_________(hear) that so many famous Brazilian footballers died in the air crash onNovember 28,2016.6.Nothing else________(appear)on the screen until I click on it.Look,I’m clicking now.7.---Why were the whole family away from Wuxi last week?---Well,the mother,as well as her sons,__________(try)out for the singing program.8.I’m sure the bag my cousin bought in Shanghai__________(wash) easily.六、任务型阅读Some people believe that greed(贪婪) and selfishness has become the main theme of modern society and we should return to the old traditions of family and community in order to have a better life.In this fast-paced(快节奏的)world,many values are experiencing great changes.While people traditionally caring,sharing and generosity the most important things in life and work,modern people seem to be moreself-centered.Modern people act selfishly to survive the highly competitive world.To survive,you have to fight with whatever ways you can think of.Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas.In a company,workers do everything they can to get better pay and higher position,even if it means their workmates will lose a lot because of this.They are not born cold-blooded;it is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way because of outside influences.To be honest,it is hard to say that modern society is build on greed and selfishness,both of which are not newly invented vocabulary.In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things that people in the past faced less pressure compared with the modern environment.Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them?There is no fixed answer either.Some people great pleasure helping and giving to others while others fell happy doing the opposite.But I personally think that people should not be too selfish.Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a win-win relationship.1.若干年后，他真后悔一开始没有采纳他爸爸的建议。

A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” 1 teaches us that he was right. Many movies, TV series, even our own life stories have proven it. It seems a bit difficult to form good and true friendship.It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a true friendship to 2 . However, there can be no disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.To some of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to be clear in our 3 the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or kept at arm’s length? Do we want to share ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are quite enough—and that’s all right. But at some point we need to 4 that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of the things including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it must be undertaken (进行) 5 and carried on only if there are signs of interest and action in return. Don’t push it. Don’t do it in a hurry! 1．A．Knowledge B．Information C．Experience D．Culture2．A．design B．achieve C．develop D．appear3．A．hands B．thoughts C．actions D．minds4．A．make sure B．look up C．show off D．check out5．A．quickly B．slowly C．briefly D．comfortablyⅢ. 语法填空12、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的单词，或括号内单词的正确形式。

If you live in the US and don’t understand the sport, you can easily feel left out. Here are some tips to help you go from outsider to super fan.Learn the basic rulesThere are two teams, each with 11 players on the field. The team on offense（进攻）aims to run with the ball to the opposing team’s end zone for a touchdown or kick the ball through the other team’s goalposts for a field goal. The team on defense (防守) aims to stop these things from happening or take control of the ball for themselves. The team with the most points at the end wins.Get into the dramaIt’s exciting to see powerful players moving the ball forward on offense –and equally powerful defensive players trying to stop them from getting points. The game sometimes causes serious damage to players’ brains. “As long as no one gets terribly hurt, the hitting is the best part, ” said Calvin White, a 16-year-old from New York.Watch the Super BowlThe Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the NFL. Nearly 110 million viewers will watch this game on TV. Even non-fans don’t want to miss the star-studded halftime show. It’s not only a treat for US football fans, but also a global wonder.BY Amir Davis, Generation YouthWhat things do football players have to wear?American football is a violent sport. Players tackle each other to get the ball. Although the conflict is exciting, players must have gear（装备）to protect themselves from serious injuries. Here is some of the gear they wear.25. The team on offense can get points through .a. a touchdownb. touching the ballc. a field goald. running with the ballA. abB. acC. dcD. bd26. American football players must wear gear because .A. wearing gear is a traditionB. wearing gear looks coolC. they may get hurt in the gameD. gear can help players run fast27. Which of the following is not mentioned in the story? .A. The basic rules of American football.B. The risks of playing American football.C. The annual Super Bowl game.D. The food people eat while watching the game.(B)I didn’t want to be a bodybuilding champion. I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.Deep, deep down ask your self, “Who do you want to be?” Not what, but who. I’m talking about thinking it out for yourself, “What makes you happy?”You have to think outside the box. That’s what I believe, after all. What’s the point of being on this Earth if all you want to be is to be liked and avoid trouble?We have so many rules in life about everything. I s ay break the rules. Don’t break the law, but break the rules.I remember that after I had finished with my bodybuilding career I wanted to act. I wanted to be a star in films.Everyone had the same thought that I couldn’t be done. They said, “Look at this body, you have this huge monstrous body, you’re overly developed.” They thought I wouldn’t fit into movies. But I didn’t listen to them. Those were their rules. I was completely certain that I could do it.Then I got my big chance in Conan the Barbarian. That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.On that movie, the director said, “If we didn’t have Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one.” Then when I did The Terminator, I said, “I’ll be back…” One of the famous lines in m ovie history, all because of my crazy voice. It just shows that you should never listen to those who say you can’t do something.Don’t be afraid to fail. In everything that I have tried, I’ve always been willing to fail. Don’t be afraid of making decisions. You can’t be frightened with the fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You can push because you believe in yourself and your imagination. You know it’s the right thing to do and success will come. Don’t be afraid to fail.---By Arnold Schwarzenegger28. We know from his speech that Schwarzenegger is _______.A. confident and strong-willedB. patient and honestC. modest and old-fashionedD. stupid and proud29. The underlined phrase “think outside the box” in Paragraph 3 means _______.A. think while standing outside the box instead of inside the boxB. think about the outside world in an open wayC. go outside to see the outside worldD. think in a creative and unusual way30. In this speech, Schwarzenegger mainly suggests that people should _______.A. break the rules and laws when necessaryB. trust themselves and never be afraid of failureC. think twice before making important decisionsD. not push themselves too strongly and hard(C)Since the COVID-19 outbreak, many people have been forced to stay at home for long periods of time to protect themselves from the virus. This has given people more free time to learn new skills and find different ways to entertain themselves.Some of these activities include things like singing, learning to cook and ordering fresh food online. All of these things can be done in the palm of your hand with mobile apps.Before, young people would go outside and meet friends at karaoke bars. Now, friends can meet and sing on the mobile karaoke app Changba, which translates to Singing Bar. “The Changba app not only gives me the chance to sing whatever I like at home, but also lets me keep in touch with friends by sharing our son gs, ” said an app user.Some people have also taken up cooking as a new hobby to pass the time. You don't need to attend culinary(烹饪的) school, thanks to apps like Xiachufang and Ecook, which make it easier for those who want to learn how to cook. These apps provide a platform for users to look up different recipes (菜谱) and to share their own recipes with others. "Using this app, I have learned many new and healthy dishes which help me eat better, " an app user commented on the app's website.To help people avoid crowded places like grocery stores, apps that deliver goods right to your door have also become very popular. "It is noteworthy that the epidemic has attracted new groups of consumers(消费者), such as elderly people, who originally didn't belong to our target user group, " Zhang Yi, an analyst (分析师) from themarket research company iiMedia Research, said.Indeed, during this special time, these apps have opened up a whole new world of opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds.31. What did the author tell us about Changba in Paragraph 3?A.It is more user-friendly than karaoke bars.B. It helps users to discover their singing talent.C. It provides opportunities to communicate with friends.D. It allows users to improve their singing skills fast.32. What does the article tell us about food-delivery apps?A. They have lost many young customers.B. They have opened culinary classes for their users.C. They have more elderly users than before.D. They have caused many grocery stores to close.33. Which of the following shows the structure of the article?( ①②③④⑤⑥ = Paragraphs 1-6 )(D)If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment（失业）from your computer major(专业课) classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “Information Age” requires people who are flexible(灵活的) and who have good communication skills.There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions.For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial（管理的）success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suitable for change, which is the leading feature(特点) of the kind of high-speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs,but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level(入门的) positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most important quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important”, by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably because of these skills that they have been offered different kinds of positions.Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recen t graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.34.By saying that “you may have had the last laugh” in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have____.A．shared the jokes with computer majors B．achieved as much as computer majorsC．stopped joking about computer majors D．found jobs more easily than computer majors35. Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates ___.A．are ready to change when situations change B．are better able to deal with difficultiesC．are equally good at computer skills D．are likely to give others pressure(压力)36.The underlined word “land” in the last paragraph probably means ___.A．keep for some time B．successfully get C．start at once D．lose regretfully37.According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?A．Willingness to take low-paid jobs. B．Readiness to get high-tech knowledge.C．Skills in expressing themselves. D．Part-time work experience.四．词汇运用(A) 根据句意和汉语注释，在答卷标有题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。

They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving.These reckless behaviors have caught the public’s attention.In the first half of 2020, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai, according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.What makes deliveryman take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the impatient customers may be the answer.Many companies will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan, if he fails to deliver an order on time, reported China daily. Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers.To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to improve theirincentive(激励) system, noted CRI Online.Some cities are also taking action. Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice, then he can be prevented from driving food service delivery vehicles for a whole year.28.

He really didn’t know how they would fight when they broke up the family and lived apart(分开的).One day, their father was sick, lying in bed and staring(凝视) at something, when the elder son came over to wish him good health. His father said, “Ask your brother to come here, and I have something to say.”The younger brother arrived. Their father sat up and said, “I don’t know how the disease hit. I’m feeling terribly unwell.” The brothers persuaded (劝说) their father not to worry about it, but he shook his head, “In fact, I don’t worry about the disease because I can manage it, but if you are in disorder with each other in the future, it will be our family’s disease and no one can deal with it.”The brothers felt ashamed.The father got out of the bed, pointed to some chickens in the yard and said, “Lookat them sittin g there in peace with each other, isn’t it good?”Then their father brought out a bowl of corns, went quietly behind the house and spread most of them on the ground. Then he went back to the yard with only a few corns left and flung(挥动) at the chickens. As soon as they saw the corns, the chicken jumped up, waved their wings and fought for it. The peaceful world was now filled with smoke of gunpowder for some corns.The brothers smiled and understood what their father was driving at.Their father added, “Both of you saw more corns are behind the house…”As a matter of fact, aren’t there many tro ubles in life because God spread some corns before us?31.

Yet, with dark glasses or not, they may have headaches and watering eyes, and even snow-blindness after several hours of snow light.The United States army has now found out that glare from snow does not cause snow-blindness in army in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes often find nothingto focus on(聚集) in a broad space of snow-covered area. So his long fixed look continually moves and jumps backward and forward over the whole landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles(肌肉) ache. As tears continued increasing, they make eyes difficult to see clearly, and the result is total, even though for a short time, snow-blindness.Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming(克服) this problem. Scouts(侦察兵) ahead of the army are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men flowing can then see something. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.34. What is the first paragraph mainly about？A. The whiteness from snow.B. Snow light and snow blindness.C. The need for dark glasses.D. Headaches and watering eyes.35. Snow-blindness can be avoided _____________.A. by covering the eyeballs with more and more tearsB. by walking ahead and keep looking aroundC. by making up for the discomfort of one’s eyesD. by providing the eyes with something to focus on36.
