He tried to imagine how serious the drought(旱灾) was for the students at that school. However, he realized it was more serious than he had imagined when he saw the sign “DON’T wash clothes with water, or you will be punished.”Because of drought, the school has been short of water for a long time. Each student has only one bottle of water every day for washing and drinking. The drought has made the poor students much poorer.Mike is a student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School. He took part in the school’s Rain & Bow Project from April 2 to 10.The project idea came from Mike’s principal（负责人）. One day, she heard a sad story about Li Guoxian, a poor girl in the Mashan School, who stopped going to school because of drought. The principal started this project to help the school. In one day, 3,000 students made over 10,000 donations of water, books and clothes.Mike and other four students went to the Mashan School and gave the donations with five teachers. They visited poor families, made surveys and had classes at the school.Mike also found the school’s learning environment quite poor. “The blackboards and playground are too shabby to use,”he said.“Besides, there really aren’t enough teachers. A teacher has to teach both history and English, and even the cook is a class teacher. ”Although life isn’t easy, students at the school have a positive attitude(积极的态度）towards life and they are quite willing to learn. That’s what moved 16-year-old Chen Shi most.“They sang their songs together as usual before class every afternoon. After class, the students asked us to tell them things about Beijing and our studies,” Chen Shi said, “You can see the passion(热情)in them. I believe it will make a difference. Th eir futures will be bright. ”36.Which school does Mike study in？A. the Mashan School.B. a school in Beijing.C. a school in Guizhou.D. a foreign school.37. The underlined word “shabby” means_________ in Chinese.A. 黑乎乎的B.光滑的C.破旧的D.不平整的38. Who started the school’s Rain & Bow Project？A. The principal of the foreign language school.B. Mike, a 16-year-old boy.C. Chen Shi, a student from Beijing.D. Li Guoxian, a poor girl in Guizhou.39. What can we infer from the passage?A. Students at the Mashan School could use water to wash clothes every day.B. Mike and his classmate were ready to accept the over 10,000 donations.C. It didn’t rain for a long time in Li Guoxian’s hometown.D. Li Guoxian stopped going to school because of her poor family.40.Why did Chen Shi think the children at the Mashan School would have a bright future?A. Because they learnt to save water.B. Because they had enough good teachers.C. Because they had support from Beijing.D. Because they were positive and willing to learn.CRobots come in many shapes and sizes. But most have one thing in common. They are built to help people. Lately engineers have been developing new kinds of robots. These high-tech machines are designed to lend a hand everywhere from hotels to disaster areas."Robots help people by making their lives easier, safer, and more fun," says engineer Omar.Since November, a robot named Pepper has been on the job at Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. When guests have questions or need directions, they can ask Pepper. They can also use the robot's touch screen to find the information they need. Pepper is able to talk with guests and make them happy with stories too. It can even tell what kind of mood they are in."Pepper provides our guests with information in an exciting and new way." says the hotel manager Donald Bowman.For a kid, being in the hospital can be boring and even scary. But a small robot called NAO is helping to make hospital stays easier. It was designed to keep people company.A Tennessee doctor named Phil Parker bought a NAO robot three years ago. He programmed(为……编制程序) it to talk to and play with young patients. He brought it to hospitals to help sick kids. When kids get medical tests, NAO explains what is going on. The robot also reads to kids and plays games with them like Rock, Scissors ,Cloth (石头剪刀布).“The robot gets many kids to smile for the first time since they were in hospital,” Parker says.Other robots are designed to help to save people in dangerous areas. For example, disaster areas can be full of broken stones and other dangers. Engineers in Japan are planning to build a robot called E2-DR to go into those areas and search for people who are hurt.41. A robot can do the following for us except ________according to the passage.A. telling its own moodB. reading to kidsC. entering the dangerous areas to save peopleD. Answering guests’ questions42.In Mandarin Oriental Hotel, guests can_________.A. feel happy with the stories about PepperB. know whether the robot is in good mood or notC. experience an exciting and new way to get the informationD. only get information simply by touching the robot's screen43.According to Phil Parker, the robot NAO in the hospital_________.A. is used to help doctors treat patientsB. brings much joy to many young patientsC. gives young patients some medical testsD. is not as useful as expected44.From the last paragraph(最后一个段落), we can learn that__________.A. robots will play a lively role in everything in our lifeB. E2-DR has proved to be very useful in rescue(营救) practiceC. human rescue workers will no longer be neededD. rescue work in dangerous areas will become easier45. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. Robots: The Future World MasterB. Robots: CleverestC. Robots: Human HelpersD. Robots: Our Best Friend第Ⅱ部分非选择题（共60分）四、阅读表达阅读下列短文，根据短文内容及字数要求回答问题（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）（每题答案不超过7个词）Wang Xiaohong is 7 years old. Her parents gave her an iPad as a presentfor her birthday.

This is serious forsuch a young girl.Many children in China are facing the same problem: tablet(平板电脑) and iPad using is bringing problems to their eyesight. The problem is so common that newspapers even call the iPad the “No. 1 killer of children’s eyesight”.“There are about 30 shortsighted(近视的) children coming every day,” said Hu Dali, an eye doctor at Guiyang Aier Eye Hospital. “Half of those children have poor eyesight because they have played with phones and iPads for too long.”Doctors and scientists say children’s eyesight is not yet fully developed and their eyes get tired more easily. The screen of an iPad uses a very bright LED backlight. If children look at an iPad screen too much, their eyes do not have time to rest. This will make their eyesight worse over time.Doctors advise that users should hold their iPads between 40-60 centimeters away from them. The brightness of the screen should be comfortable for children. Children had better use iPads for less than one hour every day.46. What serious problem did Wang Xiaohong have a month later?47.

"Steve can change a family's life, but what can I do? I'm only ten."Mom put on her serious look. "Don't think about it like that. Lucy , "she said,"people make a 4 by thinking about what they can do, rather than what they can't do."Mom's words echoed in my head later that day. Maybe she was right. I might not be able to physically build a house but I could 5 money to help.The next day before class, I talked to my teacher, Mr. Brown, about my idea ."Well,we can brainstorm about it" he said, "I bet your classmates will have some good ideas, 6 will be the best way to make this happen."After I explained my idea in class, Brason raised his hand ."My uncle owns a T-shirt shop.

"The girl took back her sketchbook and answered. "Emma Thompson.""I'm Alice Ruiz, " I said."You draw so well. Are you in an art class? "Emma replied, "No. The art class is full, so I have to wait until next term. Besides,you're a talented one. I really find it difficult to draw people, but you make it look easy.""I have a great idea!" I said. "Let's draw together! You can draw the nature views on one piece of paper while I draw the people on another. Then we'll exchange and finish each other's drawings. That way, both drawings would show off both of our talents!""That's not a bad idea, Alice, "Emma agreed.About an hour later, we completed our drawings. I had drawn a boy walking with his dog.

They socialize online. They do homework online. And surely they get their news online. But because they are so comfortable with the Internet, they seldom question the news stories online and pass along to their friends.Now William Colglazier, a history teacher at a high school in America, is teaching his students how to think critically about online information and recognize a "fake（假的）news" story. His idea came from a study on people's online reasoning at Stanford University. The study found that young people lack （缺少 ）ability to reason about the information on the Internet. Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story, and high school and college students fully trusted the website ending in ".org" .The good news is that, according to Colglazier, once teens realize they've been duped , they have strong will to tell truth from lies. "But they need some pointers on how to find dependable and persuasive evidence（证据）and how to recognize when others use poor argumentation, " he said. Some of the pointers that Colglazier offers his students include moving off the site to find more information about the site and the writer's motivations （动机）, looking past the first page of results in a google search and looking at the second or third page and going beyond the "About Us" page on a website to find out more about the organization behind the news story.Colglazier has tips for parents as well. He says it's a good idea for parents to be "friends" with their kids on social media（媒体）to see what stories they are sharing. He also suggests parents watch their teens as they search for something online and ask questions like "Why did you click on that? " and "Do you trust this information? " Those questions can lead kids to form habits of thinking critically about online information.Colglazier shared some of his course with other teens in Teen Vogue , a famous magazine. He hopes more kids would take away some knowledge about thinking critically when they read news online. "The Internet is both beautiful and ugly." he said."lf people cannot tell real news from fake news, the results can be frightening."When teens read a news story online, they .seldom raise doubts about italways share it with their parentsusually pay attention to the websiteoften consider it as an advertisementA.criticizedB.cheatedC.challengedD.misunderstoodA.B.C.D.（3）A.B.C.D.（4）Colglazier suggests students should .make more friends by using social mediafind background information about a news storymainly look at the first page of results in a searchask parents some questions about online informationWhat is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?To explain why teens feel comfortable with the InternetTo encourage teens to search for information onlineTo guide teens to reason about the news online.To introduce Colglazier's course to more teens.17.Most students have experienced those school nights when they try to stay awakewhile doing homework. However, is homework the only reason why students stay up too late? For many, the answer may be factors （因素）such as electronics and technology, yet for others, the reply focuses on the balance between schoolwork and extracurricular （课外的） activities.Most students grow up developing some type of hobby. Whether it is playing baseball on the weekends, or joining a chess club after school, taking part in extracurricular activities is a large part of students' daily routines. However, as schoolwork and pressure increase in high school, many students argue that extracurricular activities must fall by the wayside because they are not needed, or not so important. "High school is a time when you're supposed to explore what you love, "Samantha Luk, a high school student, said. When it comes to setting a timetable,however, Luk said she was often under pressure to give more importance to study. This thought of giving up personal interests for study is common among many students.They find it challenging to prove whether developing the interests is advantageous.As a cross-country runner, journalism fan and violin lover, I disagree with those who decrease the importance of after-school activities. There are many reasons why involvement in after-school activities is beneficial. The most important point is that sports, clubs and regular meetings give students time to enjoy each other'sA.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.Managing Your Time wiselyB.Living a Relaxing School LifeC.Developing Different InterestsD.Discovering Your Own Balance（3）company（陪伴） and start up friendships. These activities also allow teenagers to follow their interests an do reduce stress. So in spite of（尽管） heavy schoolwork, students should keep on following their hobbies although it is very hard.Some students, on the other hand, choose the opposite way. They spend too much time on their hobbies that they are passionate（狂热的）about. Sometimes this passion helps students get recognition or prizes for their surprising talents, but generally speaking, it just makes one student different from the other.Schoolwork and interests are of different values, so one should never have to choose between study and extracurricular activities, unless he or she wants to. Each student should try to balance them, and your balance may differ from others. Achieving this kind of balance is to find out what is important for you. It completely depends on your personal preference.From what Samantha Luk said, we know that .she was good at setting a timetableshe often stayed up studying at nightshe spent a lot of time on her hobbiesshe put her study before her interestsThe writer probably agree that .surprising talents can help students succeedafter-school activities are necessary and importantstudents should choose either study or their interestsstudents need to develop hobbies different from others'What might be the best title for the passage?四、阅读表达（每小题2分，共10分）18. Mechanical EngineeringDo you like to build with blocks? Have you ever wondered how planes stay in the air? Do you like to design and create new things? If you do, a carrer （职业）in mechanical systems might be right for you!（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）A mechanical engineer is responsible for coming up with and designing mechanical systems. Mechanical systems can include machine design, heating and cooling equipment, and product design.Mechanical engineers are in high need right now. There are a lot of job openings for mechanical engineers, but there aren't enough people to fill those knowledge,engineers get paid more than some other careers.To be a mechanical engineers, you need to graduate from college with a bachelor's（学士）degree. In college, you will learn problem solving and critical thinking skills.Problem solving is very important in the field of mechanical engineering. To come up with the best solution to a problem, mechanical engineers need to think in different ways. They also need to be creative, because they may need to make something that's never been made before. Paying attention to details（细节）is important as well. Many designs depend on a lot of little details.Mechanical engineers also need to be able to use different tools, such as calculators, high-speed cameras, and computers. There are many computer programs mechanical engineers use to create designs, run scenarios（方案）, and do research.As with many other jobs, mechanical engineers should be able to meet deadlines（期限）and work well with other people. Some jobs can be done with just one person, but more often mechanical engineers work on a team to complete a project. If an engineer cannot manage his or her time well and misses a deadline, the whole team gets delayed（拖延）.Some engineers work in an office, and some travel to different worksites while a machine or product is being built, so they can help solve any problems.Mechanical engineering takes a lot of thought. It is a great career for people who like to make objects and machines work, solve problems, and be creative!What is a mechanical engineer responsible for?To be a mechanical engineer, what will a student learn in college?How can mechanical engineers come up with the best solution to a problem?Why should a mechanical engineer be able to meet deadlines?Where do mechanical engineers work?五、书面表达（二选一，共10分）19.假如你是李华，你们学校下周一将为来自英国的交换生举办一个欢迎（welcome party）。

People can't live without water. So it's important for everyone to save water. Here are some tips for saving water.Indoors:● Turn the tap off while you are brushing your teeth, washing your hands, doing dishes, taking a shower and so on.● Catch the cold water that comes out of the tap or shower while you are waiting for the hot water. Use it to water plants or wash your toilet.● Don't wash clothes too often. When you use the washing machine, make sure there is notonly a pair of pants in it.Outdoors:● Water the garden and grass at night. This gives water more time to get into the earth without evaporation from the day's heat.● Plant small trees under big trees. This will help stop evaporation and gives some shade(树阴) for your plants. You can also plant a shade garden under trees.( ) 26. It's important for everyone to save water because .A. 70% of the earth is waterB. the water on the earth is cleanC. only a small part of the water is cleanD. we need it to water plants( )27. What does the underlined word "evaporation" mean in Chinese?A. 流失B. 蒸发C. 渗透D. 锁住( )28. The following ways can save water according to the passage except .A. planting a shade garden under treesB. watering the garden and grass during the night timeC. catching the cold water when you wait for the hot water to showerD. using the washing machine as you like, no matter how many dirty clothes there areBIn today's world life is fast. If you don't slow down to enjoy it, you will definitely misssomething. I've got two young boys and I have been an elementary school teacher up until recently. Days were busy. Get the boys ready for school and daycare. Work a full day. Pick them up after school. Cook dinner. Do housework. Get the boys into bed and before I knew it, the day was over! Time for me to hit the sack and do it all over again the next day!Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't change anything. The boys are great. Everyone just gets stuck in these daily things and forget about fun until that one vacation week a year. Everyone needs a break and should have fun all year round. Just set aside one day a week and just go and do something. There are so many fun family things to do that won't use up your money. You don't need to go to that theme park and spend a month's salary on one day. A nice day at the park or museum can entertain everyone. There are nearby state parks that you can easily run out to and camp in for under $50 for the whole family. How about family movie night? What about family video game night? There are so many ideas that folks seem to forget about. I encourage you to take a look at Modern Frugal Family. You can find all sorts of fun stuff to do with the family and search for all sorts of bargains. I know you will come up with some great ideas. If you do, you can share them with everyone. So get out there and enjoy life!( ) 29. In the first paragraph, the author mainly talks about her ___________.A．interests B．daily life C．schoolwork D．family gathering ( ) 30. What does the underlined phrase "hit the sack" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Have a lesson. B．Make a plan. C．Go to sleep. D．Take exercise. ( ) 31. According to the author, __________ .A．it's no use trying to change our situationB．parents shouldn't push their children too hardC．people should have fun more often in their lifeD．parents today spend too much money on their childrenCIt took 100 years, but finally, scientists proved Albert Einstein’s theory that gravitational waves（引力波）exist.The waves were predicted as part of Einstein’s general theory of relativity nearly 100 years ago. It was the theory of the physics behind the workings of our world and the universe.The idea was that the waves are like waves in space, caused by some of the violent and energetic processes in the universe. For example, two black holes crashing into each other.Now a group of scientists, including ones from Caltech, MIT and the LIGO Scientific, Collaboration finally found the gravitational waves.David Reitze is the executive director of the LIGO observatory at Caltech.“We have detected gravitational waves. We did it!”What are these gravitational waves?Well, imagine throwing a rock into a pond. When the rock hits the flat surface of the water, it creates waves. Space-time is like the surface of the water. So that means gravitational waves are like the waves moving out from where the rock hits the water.It might be hard to understand, but those gravitational waves expand and contract space and time as they move through space. And when they get to the Earth, the waves pass through, and they contract and expand the planet as the waves go by.It was Einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable.But these are not huge waves. They are very, very small, which is why it took so long to find them. You cannot see them with your eyes. They are smaller than the size of an atom.How did the scientists find them?They used a giant scientific tool called LIGO, which stands for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. The billion-dollar LIGO project is two L-shaped observatories. One is in Louisiana and the other in Washington state.For years, scientists have been watching two black holes in another faraway galaxy. The two were spinning around each other, moving closer and closer together. When they finally crashed into each other, it was with such power and force that gravitational waves rang throughout the universe, like a giant bell.Those waves, traveling at the speed of light, finally reached the Earth, some l. 3 billion yearslater. They are the same waves that the scientists announced this past week.So, what does this discovery mean?Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically.( )32. What are gravitational waves about?A. About the workings of the universe.B. About how black holes form.C. About how the universe began.D. About how the waves form on the surface of water.( )33. The underlined sentence “two black holes crashing into each other” is used to express ________.A. how the universe begins to existB. how gravitational waves formC. how new black holes appearD. how the earth is affected( )34. Why are gravitational waves difficult to find ?A. Because they are too small.B. Because they are far away.C. Because they seldom occur.D. Because they have disappeared.( )35. With the discovery of gravitational waves, we’ll ___________.A. create a new worldB. make full use of gravitational wavesC. understand the universe in a new wayD. avoid being hit by black holes三、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）A）根据句意，用所给单词的正确形式填空，每空一词。

"Nothing, " I said. "But whydo we eat dandelions? No one else does.""The best 6 in the world." Grannyanswered.It seemed to take hours to fill the bags. By the time we were ready to leave, we had enough dandelions. On the way home, Mama and Granny talked about hosting a dinner party for the new neighbors.The night of the party, Brigid arrived with her parents. Mama served octopus with onions, peppers stuffed with lamb and rice, and horta made of dandelions. Our guests ate everything. Brigid tasted the octopus and the lamb. Then she put her fork on the horta. "Wait!" I said. Too late. "You ate the dandelions!" I told her 7 "Not had, "she said and ate another bite. We both laughed.After dinner, Brigid and I went to the backyard. The stars reminded me of dandelions in the soft field.

Hawaii, the U.S., recently passed a law making it illegal to text or look down at mobile phones while crossing the street. It is the first major U.S. city with a law like this.Do you think more places should pass such a law? Here are some ideas.Sally, Seoul, South KoreaA.SeoulB.SydneyC.HawaiiD.Paris（1）mon. B.Dangerous. C.Strange. D.Unhealthy.（2）A.B.C.D.（3） We should make it illegal in more cities because texting whilewalking can be dangerous. If you are looking at your phone whilewalking, you might not see a car come or the traffic light turn red.Andrew, Sydney, Australia Ⅰdisagree because we have the right to make our owndecisions. The government needs to stop telling us what to do. Afterall, this is a free country. And police need a lot of time to catch realcriminals（犯人）.Madeline, Paris, France This law is a good idea. If this law goes into effect in more cities,people will be upset. But is there really a way to please everyone?This would not be for fun. It would be for the benefit and safety of allthe people.Anjali, Tokyo, Japan People do many things that cause injury（伤害）to themselvesbut are not illegal. People might get hurt from texting while walkingif they're not paying attention. But I still think they should have achoice.recently passed a law making it illegal to text while crossing the street.What does Sally think of texting while walking?According to Madeline, .people might not see a car come while textingthe law would be for the benefit of all the peoplepeople have the right to make their own decisionspeople do many things that cause injury to themselves15."All right, everyone. listen up" said Rey. "I have something important to say."Rey had always had something important to say since the first day of primary school. "This is really a big project." said Rey. "Trust me. As long as I'm in charge, we'll have the most wonderful project ever！""It seems like Rey is always in charge." murmured（小声说）Jake.A.B.C.（1）It was true. Rey always seemed to be in charge ofeverything. He wanted everything to be as perfect as possible,and he just believed that he was the only person who couldmake that happen.This time, Rey decided to do a play about the Wright brothers and the first airplane flight. He announced that he would be the director, and he had also decided on the role that everyone would play. He would play the part of Orville Wright. He even had made the costumes, which Hannah would like to do.The next day, Rey announced he was going to play Wilbur Wright."How can you play both of the Wright brothers？"asked Hannah."I'll just put on different hats for each one." said Rey.The next afternoon, no one showed up at the rehearsal（排练）except Rey. An hour had passed, and he still hadn't heard from others.Finally, Rey called Stephen. "I quit the play." said Stephen. "In fact, we all quit. We're going to do something else."Rey spent the rest of the afternoon working on the play. Moving the set himself took too long, and running around to change costumes left him out of breath. Worst of all, half the airplane dragged on the ground as Rey pulled it across the stage. Rey felt upset and confused.He knew now that he couldn't do the play alone. He needed his friends' help if it was going to work at all.The next day at school. Rey had a talk with his friends. "I'm going to change. I promise I will listen to you. What do you want to do？"Hannah thought the play should be shorter and Jake wanted to make a new airplane that would be easier to handle. Stephen thought everyone should get a chance to play a real part like Wilbur Wright. Fern wanted to be able to act her part the way she wanted."You are probably right." Rey said. "Let's try it your way."Everyone smiled.What did Rey decide to do for the project?To change the classroom setting.To make an airplane for the children.To do a play about the Wright brothers.A.Proud.B.Angry.C.Upset.D.Cheerful.（2）A.they finished their projectB.everyone could play a partC.Rey always had great ideasD.they won the first prize（3）How did Rey feel when he did the play alone?Everyone smiled in the end because .16.Оn July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the firstperson to walk on the moon. The space suit Armstrongwore on his lunar mission has come to symbolize courageand human achievement. In 1971, the Smithsonian'sNational Air and Space Museum （NASM ）, inWashington, D.C., acquired （获得） Armstrong's suit. It stood proudly on display for visitors to admire, until there were changes in the suit's appearance. "Over time, the suit started to show signs of deterioration ." Lisa Young said. Young is an objects conservator （文物修复员） at NASM. It is her job to preserve （维护） historical and cultural objects."Plastics are tricky to conserve, " Young says. They tend to degrade （降解） over time. Neoprene is one type of plastic in Armstrong's suit. The material can turn brittle and break into tiny pieces. This would ruin the space suit. NASM, seeking ways to preserve this historical treasure, removed it from display in 2006.What cause plastic to degrade in the first place? "Many things." Odile Madden says.Madden is a scientist in California. She explains that sunlight, water, humidity and dust can cause plastics to degrade. "Some plastics will break down no matter what we do."Madden says.Yet history can still be saved. Scientists have found that storing plastics in cooler temperatures, with lower humidity levels, can slow degradation. Young says Armstrong's suit is currently in storage at a temperature of 63 °F and a lower relative humidity 30%.These conditions will be maintained when Armstrong's suit returns to a museum display case in time for the 50anniversary of the moon landing.Plastic degradation affects art, too. Artist Claes Oldenburg created False Food Selection in 1966. It consists of plastic food displayed in a wonder box. The plastic food used to look real. Now, some of it has flattened and yellowed. Georgina Rayner is a conservation scientist at Harvard Art Museums, in Cambridge. She says the artwork's thA.B. C.D.（1）A.becoming worseB.losing attentionC.getting strongerD.being valuable（2）A.B.C.D.（3）degradation process. But Rayner is motivated to conserve this artwork and others like it."Plastics are a part of our history." she says. "It's important to preserve them so that future generations can understand the journey we've taken."Neil Armstrong's space suit .is in storage at a higher relative humidityis considered as a symbol of plastic artwas protected at Harvard Art Maseumswas removed from display in 2006The word "deterioration " in Paragraph 1 probably means " ".What can we infer from the passage?Plastic artworks help future generations learn more about history.We can do nothing to prevent plastic objects from breaking down.The acidir gas is a necessity in the preservation of plastic objects.People are advised to use fewer plastic objects in their daily life.17.During this age of technology, life moves fast and people onlyfocus on what comes next, rather than living in the present. Oftentheir daydreaming is centered on the "next" rather than the "now."Technology is all about what's next—the next innovation（创新）, the next platform or the next device. This is most obviouswith the iPhone. The iPhone X has just released, but businessmen and customers are already thinking about the next, newest iPhone. I am already counting the days until l can upgrade my iPhone.Throughout my adolescence（青春期）, almost every single one of my peers have been too wrapped up with the next "great" thing and put too much stress on themselves while losing sense of what is going on now or what they have achieved; it drives me totally crazy. Upon entering high school, I was excited to spend the next four years with my closest friends. Sadly, once I hit my sophomore year（高二）, I began to worry about getting into a good college and what I needed to do for that to happen. By concentrating on what's next, I seem to be missing what's great about high school.A.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.B.C.D.（3）（4）Most students in high school look at education as a means to an end; something that will set them up for the next step. Due to this, they pay close attention to the teacher in class, not to enrich their knowledge, but to score high on the test, making them stronger candidates （候选人）for college. What is even more annoying is that universities are now forcing high school students to have a clear idea of what they want to do in life. Most colleges have specialized schools, such as business, nursing and education; in most cases, it is very difficult to switch out of or into one of the specialized schools. Therefore, high schoolers do actually have to focus on what's next.When I go to college. all I am thinking about is still what comes next; that is, how to land a great job out of. college. Everyone around seems to he like me. Actually, I truly hope that people who are in this very similar situation can figure out a way to make the "now" as important, if not more important, than the "next" in life. Taking all of this into consideration, the concept of what comes next is far too ingrained（根深蒂固的）into important things of life, such as technology and education.If people keep racing from one thing to the next, life will pass them by and in a hurry; no one will be able to look back on what they have experienced or achieved, because life will have become a blur（模糊）.The writer mentions the iPhone in Paragraph 2 to show that .the newest iPhone is always the bestyoung customers like new technologythe iPhone X attracts the most attentiontechnology is all about what comes nextWhat can we learn from the passage?High schoolers are forced to have clear ideas about their future jobs.Few students pay close attention to the teacher to score high on tests.Thinking too much about the present gives students too much pressure.Different activities make the students stronger candidates for the college.The writer probably agrees that .students now care too much about unimportant things in lifefuture achievements depend on your plan in your high schoolcollege education usually makes a great difference to most of the peoplepeople should live in the "now" rather than only look ahead to the "next"Which of the following would he the best title for the passage?C.Past, Now and FutureD.Technology, a Key to Future四、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）18.（1）（2）（3）（4）Todd Bol is the founder of the non-profit Little FreeLibraries. Bol built the first little library in 2009 to honor hismom, who was a book lover and teacher. Bol wanted toshare his mother's love for reading with others. He decidedto build a wood box and fill it with books. He made it looklike a tiny red schoolhouse. He placed the box of books on apost in his front yard with a sign that read "Free Books". This was the beginning of the Little Free Library.Soon Bol's neighbors noticed this tiny model of a schoolhouse. They began taking the books and replacing them with books of their own. The tiny library was always open.A library card was not needed. The books could be read and returned whenever. It offered people an easy way to read. This library didn't just provide books. It also helped build friendships among community members. As more and more people visited Bol's little library, they began talking with one another. Everyone loved the little library. They shared thoughts, ideas and stories. They got to know one another. After all, as Bol said."It's a magic box with books."Bol's friends and neighbors wanted little libraries of their own. Bol built several and gave them away. One of his friends, Rick Brooks, noticed that the libraries encouraged people to read. He believed that Bol's little libraries could benefit more than just local friends and neighbors. With this in mind, Bol and Brookes came up with a plan to build more than 2, 500 Little Free Libraries around the world. To achieve this goal, they created a website. People can get information about the Little Free Libraries and how they can set up little libraries of their own.Thanks to Bol and Brooks. the Little Free Libraries are encouraging people to read more and to be friendlier. Today there are more than 75, 000 Little Free libraries around the world, and they can be found on almost every continent.When did Bol build the first library?Where did Bol put the box of books?What is the second paragraph mainly about?How did Bol and Brookes achieve their goal?（5）What are the Little Free Libraries encouraging people to do?五、书面表达（二选一）（共10分）19.假如你是李华，加拿大某校学生代表团将要来你校参观。

I said."Sorry, Lucy, " Mom said. " your brother is volunteering next weekend to help 1 a house for a family."I remembered Steve's eyes had lit up when he first told me about the community home building project. He was good at building and fixing things, so he was 2 to do something. Now that he was seventeen, he was finally old enough to take part in it."It's not 3 , " I complained. "Steve can change a family's life, but what can I do? I'm only ten."Mom put on her serious look. "Don't think about it like that. Lucy , "she said,"people make a 4 by thinking about what they can do, rather than what they can't do."Mom's words echoed in my head later that day. Maybe she was right. I might not be able to physically build a house but I could 5 money to help.The next day before class, I talked to my teacher, Mr. Brown, about my idea ."Well,we can brainstorm about it" he said, "I bet your classmates will have some good ideas, 6 will be the best way to make this happen."After I explained my idea in class, Brason raised his hand ."My uncle owns a T-shirt shop.

I really find it difficult to draw people, but you make it look easy.""I have a great idea!" I said. "Let's draw together!

That way, both drawings would show off both of our talents!""That's not a bad idea, Alice, "Emma agreed.About an hour later, we completed our drawings. I had drawn a boy walking with his dog. Emma had added a path and some flowers. Emma had drawn a beautiful tree, and I had added a girl reading under the tree."This was a fun idea, "I said. "Hey, Emma. would you like to meet me here again to draw together?

They socialize online. They do homework online. And surely they get their news online. But because they are so comfortable with the Internet, they seldom question the news stories online and pass along to their friends.Now William Colglazier, a history teacher at a high school in America, is teaching his students how to think critically about online information and recognize a "fake（假的）news" story. His idea came from a study on people's online reasoning at Stanford University. The study found that young people lack （缺少 ）ability to reason about the information on the Internet. Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story, and high school and college students fully trusted the website ending in ".org" .The good news is that, according to Colglazier, once teens realize they've been duped , they have strong will to tell truth from lies. "But they need some pointers on how to find dependable and persuasive evidence（证据）and how to recognize when others use poor argumentation, " he said. Some of the pointers that Colglazier offers his students include moving off the site to find more information about the site and the writer's motivations （动机）, looking past the first page of results in a google search and looking at the second or third page and going beyond the "About Us" page on a website to find out more about the organization behind the news story.Colglazier has tips for parents as well. He says it's a good idea for parents to be "friends" with their kids on social media（媒体）to see what stories they are sharing. He also suggests parents watch their teens as they search for something online and ask questions like "Why did you click on that? " and "Do you trust this information? " Those questions can lead kids to form habits of thinking critically about online information.Colglazier shared some of his course with other teens in Teen Vogue , a famous magazine. He hopes more kids would take away some knowledge about thinking critically when they read news online. "The Internet is both beautiful and ugly." he said."lf people cannot tell real news from fake news, the results can be frightening."When teens read a news story online, they .seldom raise doubts about italways share it with their parentsusually pay attention to the websiteoften consider it as an advertisementA.criticizedB.cheatedC.challengedD.misunderstoodA.B.C.D.（3）A.B.C.D.（4）Colglazier suggests students should .make more friends by using social mediafind background information about a news storymainly look at the first page of results in a searchask parents some questions about online informationWhat is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?To explain why teens feel comfortable with the InternetTo encourage teens to search for information onlineTo guide teens to reason about the news online.To introduce Colglazier's course to more teens.17.Most students have experienced those school nights when they try to stay awakewhile doing homework. However, is homework the only reason why students stay up too late? For many, the answer may be factors （因素）such as electronics and technology, yet for others, the reply focuses on the balance between schoolwork and extracurricular （课外的） activities.Most students grow up developing some type of hobby. Whether it is playing baseball on the weekends, or joining a chess club after school, taking part in extracurricular activities is a large part of students' daily routines. However, as schoolwork and pressure increase in high school, many students argue that extracurricular activities must fall by the wayside because they are not needed, or not so important. "High school is a time when you're supposed to explore what you love, "Samantha Luk, a high school student, said. When it comes to setting a timetable,however, Luk said she was often under pressure to give more importance to study. This thought of giving up personal interests for study is common among many students.They find it challenging to prove whether developing the interests is advantageous.As a cross-country runner, journalism fan and violin lover, I disagree with those who decrease the importance of after-school activities. There are many reasons why involvement in after-school activities is beneficial. The most important point is that sports, clubs and regular meetings give students time to enjoy each other'sA.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.Managing Your Time wiselyB.Living a Relaxing School LifeC.Developing Different InterestsD.Discovering Your Own Balance（3）company（陪伴） and start up friendships. These activities also allow teenagers to follow their interests an do reduce stress. So in spite of（尽管） heavy schoolwork, students should keep on following their hobbies although it is very hard.Some students, on the other hand, choose the opposite way. They spend too much time on their hobbies that they are passionate（狂热的）about. Sometimes this passion helps students get recognition or prizes for their surprising talents, but generally speaking, it just makes one student different from the other.Schoolwork and interests are of different values, so one should never have to choose between study and extracurricular activities, unless he or she wants to. Each student should try to balance them, and your balance may differ from others. Achieving this kind of balance is to find out what is important for you. It completely depends on your personal preference.From what Samantha Luk said, we know that .she was good at setting a timetableshe often stayed up studying at nightshe spent a lot of time on her hobbiesshe put her study before her interestsThe writer probably agree that .surprising talents can help students succeedafter-school activities are necessary and importantstudents should choose either study or their interestsstudents need to develop hobbies different from others'What might be the best title for the passage?四、阅读表达（每小题2分，共10分）18.

If you do, a carrer （职业）in mechanical systems might be right for you!（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）A mechanical engineer is responsible for coming up with and designing mechanical systems. Mechanical systems can include machine design, heating and cooling equipment, and product design.Mechanical engineers are in high need right now. There are a lot of job openings for mechanical engineers, but there aren't enough people to fill those knowledge,engineers get paid more than some other careers.To be a mechanical engineers, you need to graduate from college with a bachelor's（学士）degree. In college, you will learn problem solving and critical thinking skills.Problem solving is very important in the field of mechanical engineering. To come up with the best solution to a problem, mechanical engineers need to think in different ways. They also need to be creative, because they may need to make something that's never been made before. Paying attention to details（细节）is important as well. Many designs depend on a lot of little details.Mechanical engineers also need to be able to use different tools, such as calculators, high-speed cameras, and computers. There are many computer programs mechanical engineers use to create designs, run scenarios（方案）, and do research.As with many other jobs, mechanical engineers should be able to meet deadlines（期限）and work well with other people. Some jobs can be done with just one person, but more often mechanical engineers work on a team to complete a project. If an engineer cannot manage his or her time well and misses a deadline, the whole team gets delayed（拖延）.Some engineers work in an office, and some travel to different worksites while a machine or product is being built, so they can help solve any problems.Mechanical engineering takes a lot of thought. It is a great career for people who like to make objects and machines work, solve problems, and be creative!What is a mechanical engineer responsible for?To be a mechanical engineer, what will a student learn in college?How can mechanical engineers come up with the best solution to a problem?Why should a mechanical engineer be able to meet deadlines?Where do mechanical engineers work?五、书面表达（二选一，共10分）19.假如你是李华，你们学校下周一将为来自英国的交换生举办一个欢迎（welcome party）。

AWhen you look up into the night sky, you can see the moon. But did you know that you’re only seeing one side of the moon? The other side, also known as the far side of the moon, has long been a secret to us. But now, we have a chance to see what’s on the far side.GAGGAGAGGAFFFFAFAFOn Jan 3, China’s Chang’e 4 probe (探测器) landed on the far side of the moon. It is the first probe in history to land there.Chang’e 4 has already done a lot of things on the moon. One of its jobs is to grow plants. Chang’e 4 took six living things to the moon, such as cotton , potatoes and fruit flies. The cotton has already started growing. This is the first time humans have grown plants on the moon.Chang’e 4 also took a lot of pictures of the moon’s far side. With these pictures, scientists will learn more about the moon.31.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?GAGGAGAGGAFFFFAFAFA. There is a secret place on the other side.B. We are not interested in the far side.C. We don’t know much about the other side.D. The other side has already been known to humans.32. What do we know about the Chang’e 4 probe?A. It landed on the far side of the moon.B. It left Earth on Jan 3.C. It is the first probe made by China.D. It has found out all of the moon’s secrets.33. What has Chang’e 4 done so far?a. It has grown some plants on the moon.b. It has become the first probe to land on the moon.GAGGAGAGGAFFFFAFAFc. It has built a probe on the moon.d. It has taken photos of the far side of the moon.A. a bB. a dC. c dD. b cBGlobal warming is a big problem that we have to stop. One of the best things we can do is to plant more trees.Trees can take in carbon dioxide in the air and stop global warming. According to a new report, China is doing a great job of “greening”th e world.A team of scientists at Boston University has been working with NASA to study Earth’s green vegetation (植GAGGAGAGGAFFFFAFAF被). They used a special NASA camera and found that global leaf area has increased by 5 percent since the early 2000s. And according to the study,China was responsible for 25 percent of that gain. That’s about one-quarter of the size of the entire Amazon rainforest.The growth mainly came from China’s forest protection programs, NASA said. For example, since 1962, China has been planting trees in Saihanba in Hebei Province. It was once a desert. But now, China has turned the area into the country’s largest man-made forest.The Chinese public has also joined in these efforts. Ant Forest, a feature(功能)in the Alipay app, gives usersGAGGAGAGGAFFFFAFAFpoints for doing some eco-friendly(对生态环境友好的)things. Users can then use these points to water and grow their own virtual trees. When the virtual trees are big enough, Ant Forest will plant real trees somewhere in the world. More than 55 million trees have been planted in this way.34. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of planting trees?A. Ending world hunger.B.Turning deserts into forests.C. Taking in carbon dioxide.D. Stopping global warming.GAGGAGAGGAFFFFAFAF35. What did the scientists at Boston University find out?A. Planting more trees has slowed global warming down.B. India has planted about 25 percent of the Amazon rainforest.C. China has greatly increased its amount of green vegetation.D. China and India are responsible for global warming.36. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “virtual”?A. 网上的B.虚拟的C.真实的D. 假冒的37. The last paragraph mainly tells about _______________.GAGGAGAGGAFFFFAFAFA. how to grow real trees with Ant ForestB. how to use Alipay onlineC. why Ant Forest is popular in ChinaD. what the Chinese public has done to encourage more tree-plantingCTraveling is not always happy, at least for the buddies in the movie Green Book. The popular film won Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards on Feb 25.The movie was adapted from the true story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s. In the film, the black pianist Don Shirley hiresGAGGAGAGGAFFFFAFAFItalian-American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to performances, but they face problems because of Shirley’s skin color. These problems lead them to form a special friendship.“There’s something so deeply right about this movie, so true to the time,” wrote US film critic Mick LaSalle.The time LaSalle is talking about was between late 1870s and 1960s, a very different period in US history. Many parts of the country had Jim Crow laws (《吉姆·克劳法》), which allowed racial segregation (种族隔离). These laws made life and travel 39 for African-Americans. They couldn’t use certain hotels,GAGGAGAGGAFFFFAFAFrestaurants, or even gas stations. They had to be indoors after sunset or they might be put into prison. Even black celebrities (名人) had to follow the laws.But in 1936, a black mail carrier named Victor H. Green had an idea. He made a list of friendly businesses in New York City. He published the list as a small book with a green cover. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely. Then, in 1964, Jim Crow laws went away. The book went away, too.Today many US people still remember the time of Jim Crow. But they probab ly don’t know about The Green Book. It’s a forgotten part of the story. Thanks to this movie,GAGGAGAGGAFFFFAFAFmaybe people can rememberit again.38.What was Don Shirley in the film?A. A driver.B. A black pianist.C. A black mail carrier.D.

Jim Crow Laws.C.The Green Book.D. Racial segregation.42. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. They met problems during their trip because of Shirley’s bad behavior.B.
