ADon’t have plenty of time for reading?If you are interested in non-fiction books,here are good choices for you.A Room of One’s OwnThis essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on her several lectures given to two women’s colleges at Cambridge University in 1928.In it,Woolf describes that it’s circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing.Women,in other words,spend so much time cooking,cleaning,and tending to their children that they have no time left for art.To write well,therefore,a woman must have “a room of her own”.While on its surface,this essay appears to be only about writing,it is actually about wealth and class,freedom and imprisonment,and the power struggle between sexes.The Art of WarWritten by ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Zi,The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy in human history.Consisting of 13 chapters,each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war,the book has been translated into many languages and has thousands of editions.For centuries,it has been used to train military leaders for its detailed study of military strategy and effective leadership.Letter to My DaughterThis book of essays and poems by Maya Angelou,a respectable American poet,is written for “the daughter she never had”— the millions of women,both young and old,who she considers to be her “family”.From the viewpoint of a caring,older relative,this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences,including the birth of her only child,a son,as well as the development and loss of friendship.A Brief History of TimeIf you’re short on time,then why not read about,well,the creation of time?This book,first published in 1998 from brilliant scientist and mathematician Stephen Hawking,exploresmind-bending questions about the creation of the universe,including if and when it will end,and if so,how.Despite its heavy subject matter,Hawking addresses these questions in a way that’s easy to understand,even for those who know little about physics.21.What can we learn about the four books?A.A Brief History of Time mainly focuses on the matter of the earth.B.Letter to My Daughter is actually a common family letter.C.The Art of War gives definition of philosophy.D.A Room of One’s Own is more than about writing.22.What can be inferred from the passage?A.As a physicist,Hawking is equally famous for writing.B.Maya devotes herself to fighting for women’s rights.C.The book by Sun Zi is helpful in policy-making.D.Woolf looks down upon men in writing.23.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To make comparisons between the four books.B.To recommend the four books to readers.C.To make comments on the four books.D.To promote sales of the four books.BEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days,musicians are performing in private homes,at haircutting shops,at airports...even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs,they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O’ Hair Salon,Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then,they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon,near the hairdryers and make-up tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon,” Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week’s performance.Frank said she and band members,Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience.Concerts in people’s homes,or small businesses such as O’ Hair’s,are becoming more popular,musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere,” said Domenic Cicala,a musician who opened up his O’ Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts,people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often,the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend,” said Matt Hart,with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers,a folk-rock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts,the musicians do not need microphones.Yet,every word of their songs can be heard.24.Why do musicians like house concerts?A.Because private homes are easier to get to.B.Because people pay more attention to their music.C.Because they can do other things while performing.D.Because they don’t have to bring their microphones.25.What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last week’s performance?A.The small performance space.B.Her first show at a hair salon.C.Their interaction with the audience.D.The more relaxed atmosphere.26.How many music groups are mentioned in the text?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.27.What may be the best title for the text?A.Musicians Struggle to Make a LivingB.People Really Get to Know the ArtistsC.Musicians Find New Places to PerformD.Concertgoers Won’t Go to Music ClubsC“Hungary?” I looked at my school headmaster in confusion.“I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.” And with that,my adventure started.My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing school exchange year in Hungary.Going on an exchange had always been my dream.When my high school offered an all-year program,I jumped at the opportunity.It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was buy a plane ticket.I knew where I wanted to go:Spain,the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses.So when I heard that I was going to Hungary,I was pretty shocked.But I decided to make the best of it,since it was,after all,a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Before I knew it,I was on the airplane,leaving for Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport,Hungary.I had difficult times when I almost gave up.Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet.Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peers and me.I had to give up eating carrots,my beautiful favorite,for Hungarians think carrots are rubbish in their country.The change in the landscape was amazing,looking nothing like skyscrapers,bullet trains,cars,and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to.Gradually,I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle,thewarm-hearted people,and getting home at 2:30 p.m.at the latest from school.And I was sad to leave on my very last day.Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I’ve ever experienced.From my little sisters,I learned how to embrace life to its fullest.From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house.From my host parents I learned to stay positive,to smile and that when you pick the right people and take their hands,suddenly,you become friends.28.How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary?A.Excited and satisfied.B.Confused and shocked.C.Amazed and embarrassed.D.Delighted and interested.29.Why did Jonathan still decide to go to Hungary instead of Spain?A.He didn’t like Spain.B.He wanted to learn Hungarian.C.It was a rare chance.D.Going to Hungary was much cheaper.30.What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary?A.He fell in love with eating carrots.B.He couldn’t wait to leave.C.He was surprised by the landscape.D.He quickly got used to the life there.31.According to Jonathan,the host family .A.changed him completelyB.taught him how to dance wellC.treated him as equally as a studentD.showed him the good things of lifeDSome pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic,according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare.The study,published in the journal Biology Letters,is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal,influencing judgment.Asher,a researcher at the University of Newcastle’s Institute of Neuroscience,and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment.One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft,deep straw.After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks,the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.“To do this,we trained each pig.In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets—pigs love them—and at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans,which pigs find bitter-tasting,” a researcher said.Over a number of training trials,pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets.On the contrary,they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations,to see how the pigs would react.Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside,showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets.Others,however,behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans,displaying pessimism.The findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all answer to animal welfare issues does not exist.Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people,there is still cause for concern.Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.32.What was the study trying to figure out?A.How to make pigs happier.B.The similarities between humans and pigs.C.How living environment affected pigs’ mood.D.How pigs’ mood and personality affected their judgment.33.What does the underlined word “cushier” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Simple.B.More comfortable.C.Unpractical.D.Less free.34.Which bowl can test whether a pig is optimistic or pessimistic?A.The bowl with chocolate sweets.B.The bowl containing coffee beans.C.The bowl full of both sweets and beans.D.The bowl unfamiliar to two types of pigs.35.What do the findings of the new research imply?A.People should treat pigs equally.B.People’s health relies on meat quality.C.People should meet pigs’ various needs.D.People’s attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2018高考仿真卷·英语(四)第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
ADon’t have plenty of time for reading?If you are interested in non-fiction books,here are good choices for you.A Room of One’s OwnThis essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on her several lectures given to two women’s colleges at Cambridge University in 1928.In it,Woolf describes that it’s circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing.Women,in other words,spend so much time cooking,cleaning,and tending to their children that they have no time left for art.To write well,therefore,a woman must have “a room of her own”.While on its surface,this essay appears to be only about writing,it is actually about wealth and class,freedom and imprisonment,and the power struggle between sexes.The Art of WarWritten by ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Zi,The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy in human history.Consisting of 13 chapters,each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war,the book has been translated into many languages and has thousands of editions.For centuries,it has been used to train military leaders for its detailed study of military strategy and effective leadership.Letter to My DaughterThis book of essays and poems by Maya Angelou,a respectable American poet,is written for “the daughter she never had”— the millions of women,both young and old,who she considers to be her “family”.From the viewpoint of a caring,older relative,this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences,including the birth of her only child,a son,as well as the development and loss of friendship.A Brief History of TimeIf you’re short on time,then why not read about,well,the creation of time?This book,first published in 1998 from brilliant scientist and mathematician Stephen Hawking,exploresmind-bending questions about the creation of the universe,including if and when it will end,and if so,how.Despite its heavy subject matter,Hawking addresses these questions in a way that’s easy to understand,even for those who know little about physics.21.What can we learn about the four books?A.A Brief History of Time mainly focuses on the matter of the earth.B.Letter to My Daughter is actually a common family letter.C.The Art of War gives definition of philosophy.D.A Room of One’s Own is more than about writing.22.What can be inferred from the passage?A.As a physicist,Hawking is equally famous for writing.B.Maya devotes herself to fighting for women’s rights.C.The book by Sun Zi is helpful in policy-making.D.Woolf looks down upon men in writing.23.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To make comparisons between the four books.B.To recommend the four books to readers.C.To make comments on the four books.D.To promote sales of the four books.BEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days,musicians are performing in private homes,at haircutting shops,at airports...even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs,they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O’ Hair Salon,Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then,they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon,near the hairdryers and make-up tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon,” Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week’s performance.Frank said she and band members,Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience.Concerts in people’s homes,or small businesses such as O’ Hair’s,are becoming more popular,musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere,” said Domenic Cicala,a musician who opened up his O’ Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts,people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often,the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend,” said Matt Hart,with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers,a folk-rock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts,the musicians do not need microphones.Yet,every word of their songs can be heard.24.Why do musicians like house concerts?A.Because private homes are easier to get to.B.Because people pay more attention to their music.C.Because they can do other things while performing.D.Because they don’t have to bring their microphones.25.What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last week’s performance?A.The small performance space.B.Her first show at a hair salon.C.Their interaction with the audience.D.The more relaxed atmosphere.26.How many music groups are mentioned in the text?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.27.What may be the best title for the text?A.Musicians Struggle to Make a LivingB.People Really Get to Know the ArtistsC.Musicians Find New Places to PerformD.Concertgoers Won’t Go to Music ClubsC“Hungary?” I looked at my school headmaster in confusion.“I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.” And with that,my adventure started.My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing school exchange year in Hungary.Going on an exchange had always been my dream.When my high school offered an all-year program,I jumped at the opportunity.It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was buy a plane ticket.I knew where I wanted to go:Spain,the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses.So when I heard that I was going to Hungary,I was pretty shocked.But I decided to make the best of it,since it was,after all,a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Before I knew it,I was on the airplane,leaving for Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport,Hungary.I had difficult times when I almost gave up.Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet.Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peers and me.I had to give up eating carrots,my beautiful favorite,for Hungarians think carrots are rubbish in their country.The change in the landscape was amazing,looking nothing like skyscrapers,bullet trains,cars,and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to.Gradually,I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle,thewarm-hearted people,and getting home at 2:30 p.m.at the latest from school.And I was sad to leave on my very last day.Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I’ve ever experienced.From my little sisters,I learned how to embrace life to its fullest.From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house.From my host parents I learned to stay positive,to smile and that when you pick the right people and take their hands,suddenly,you become friends.28.How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary?A.Excited and satisfied.B.Confused and shocked.C.Amazed and embarrassed.D.Delighted and interested.29.Why did Jonathan still decide to go to Hungary instead of Spain?A.He didn’t like Spain.B.He wanted to learn Hungarian.C.It was a rare chance.D.Going to Hungary was much cheaper.30.What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary?A.He fell in love with eating carrots.B.He couldn’t wait to leave.C.He was surprised by the landscape.D.He quickly got used to the life there.31.According to Jonathan,the host family .A.changed him completelyB.taught him how to dance wellC.treated him as equally as a studentD.showed him the good things of lifeDSome pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic,according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare.The study,published in the journal Biology Letters,is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal,influencing judgment.Asher,a researcher at the University of Newcastle’s Institute of Neuroscience,and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment.One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft,deep straw.After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks,the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.“To do this,we trained each pig.In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets—pigs love them—and at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans,which pigs find bitter-tasting,” a researcher said.Over a number of training trials,pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets.On the contrary,they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations,to see how the pigs would react.Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside,showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets.Others,however,behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans,displaying pessimism.The findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all answer to animal welfare issues does not exist.Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people,there is still cause for concern.Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.32.What was the study trying to figure out?A.How to make pigs happier.B.The similarities between humans and pigs.C.How living environment affected pigs’ mood.D.How pigs’ mood and personality affected their judgment.33.What does the underlined word “cushier” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Simple.B.More comfortable.C.Unpractical.D.Less free.34.Which bowl can test whether a pig is optimistic or pessimistic?A.The bowl with chocolate sweets.B.The bowl containing coffee beans.C.The bowl full of both sweets and beans.D.The bowl unfamiliar to two types of pigs.35.What do the findings of the new research imply?A.People should treat pigs equally.B.People’s health relies on meat quality.C.People should meet pigs’ various needs.D.People’s attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

【全国省级联考】黑龙江省2018届高三普通高等学校招生全国统一考试仿真模拟（四）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择The Truth Can Set You FreeI recently got pulled over for speeding not far from my new home in Virginia. I hadn’t been paying attention，and I had driven a few miles an hour over the speed limit.“Can I see your license and registration?” the police officer asked me. I pulled both out for him，and he saw my Pittsburgh address on my Pennsylvania driver’s license.“What are you doing here?” he asked. “Are you with the army?”“No, I’m not,” I answered. I explained that I had just moved to Virginia, and I hadn’t had time to reregister yet.“So what brings you here?”He had asked a direct question. Without thinking very hard, I gave him a direct answer. “Well, officer,” I said, “since you’ve asked, I have cancer. I have just months to live. We’ve moved down here to be close to my wife’s family.”“So you’ve got cancer,” he said flatly. He was trying to figure me out. Was I really dying? Was I lying? He to ok a long look at me. “You know, for a guy who has only a few months to live, you sure look good.” He was obviously thinking: “Either this guy is pulling one big fat lie on me, or he’s telling the truth.” He was trying to question my honesty without direct ly calling me a liar. And so he had forced me to prove that I was being honest.‘‘Well, officer, I know that I look pretty healthy. I look great on the outside, but the tumors (肿瘤) are on the inside. ”And then, I don’t know what possessed me, but I just di d it. I pulled up my shirt, showing the operational scars.He looked at my scars. He looked in my eyes. He now knew he was talking to a dying man. Well, he wasn’t taking this any further. He handed me back my license. “Do me a favor,” he said, “Slow down from now on.”The awful truth had set me free. As he went back to his police car, I had a realization. I had been one of those gorgeous blondes (金发美女) who could bat her eyelashes and get out of tickets. I drove home under the speed limit, and I was smiling like a beauty queen.1．The author was stopped by the police officer because .A．he didn’t have a license B．he forgot to re-registerC．he was seriously ill D．he drove too fast2．The author moved to Virginia probably because .A．he was homesick B．he served in the army there C．Virginia had better hospitals D．his family could be better cared for 3．On hearing about the author’s cancer, the police officer .A．said it was an excuse B．doubted his honestyC．showed sympathy for him D．asked him to show his scars4．It can be inferred from the passage that the author was .A．optimistic B．adventurousC．dishonest D．romanticAssistant professor in Musical Theatre DanceWichita State University seeks a full-time, 9-month assistant professor, beginning inAugust.

The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked (遭遇海难的). He spends 28 years on an island near Venezuela. The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe. He hopes someone will rescue him, but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being rescued.Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719. Most experts believe the story is based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, who was a Scottish sailor. On an expedition (探险) in 1704, Selkirk had an argument wit h his ship’s captain. Selkirk thought the ship was not safe and was about tofall apart.When the ship stopped at a remote island to get fresh water? Selkirk got off. He tried to get the other crew members to leave with him, but nobody would. The ship then sailed away without him. Selkirk spent four years and four months on his own on the island, known as Aguas Buenas.Selkirk was finally rescued by a ship that visited the island in 1709. The ship’s captain was grateful to Selkirk because he provided food for the crew when they arrived.Now archaeologists think they have found the remains of Selkirk’s camp on Aguas Buenas. They found two deep holes that would have held wooden posts. The archaeologists say this is evidence that Selkirk built a shelter there. The post holes are near a fresh water stream. They are located quite high up, which would have meant that Selkirk was able to watch out for the ships coming close to the island.The most interesting evidence, the archaeologists say, is part of a piece of equipment used by sailors to navigate (导航). Historians believe Selkirk was a navigator, so the instrument could have belonged to him.Robinson Crusoe was published ten years after Selkirk was rescued. Most experts think Daniel Defoe heard and read stories about Selkirk, which inspired him to write the book. 8．Why did Selkirk choose to land on the remote island?A．Because he had quarrels with the crew members.B．Because the captain ordered him to get fresh water.C．Because he wanted to go on an adventure there.D．Because he thought the ship he was on was in danger.9．We can infer from the text that the ship that visited Aguas Buenas in 1709 . A．lost its way while sailingB．lacked fresh water upon arrivalC．was being navigated by SelkirkD．was running out of food upon arrival10．How could Selkirk see ships that might rescue him, according to archaeologists?A．By asking the crew members on the ships.B．By sending messages to the ships’ captains.C．By watching from his shelter high on the island.D．By using a piece of equipment used to navigate.11．The author wrote the text to .A．explain the origin of Robinson CrusoeB．promote sales of Robinson CrusoeC．criticise Alexander Selkirk’s deedsD．praise Daniel Defoe for his writing inspiration二、七选五Moving abroad can be a challenging experience.

2018年普通高学招生全国统一考试高考英语四模试卷（衡水金卷调研卷）第一部分阅读理解（共两节）第一节（满分30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项．1．（6分）If you have a long holiday to spend，where can you go？Nikoi Island，IndonesiaLess than 85km ﹣but somehow a whole world away ﹣from Singapore's shining skyline lies Nikoi Island．Surrounded by white sandy shorelines and vivid coral reefs，Nikoi's centre is hidden in rainforest，resulting in amazing biodiversity seen in its native plants，animals and bird life．Marrying traditional Indonesian craftsmanship with contemporary design，Nikoi boasts just 15 stilted（建于支柱上的）beach houses，all with breathtaking sea views，guaranteeing privacy and total escape from the daily grind．Amanpulo，PhilippinesThe only property on Pamalican Island，the luxurious Amanpulo resort offers extremely impressive accommodation，with only access to over five kilometres of clean coral sand beach．Designed to resemble indigenous Bahay Kubo homes，Amanpulo's beachside，treetop and hillside villas all feature comfortable decks with hammocks（吊床）from which to enjoy the spectacular views of the greenish﹣blue sea below．Fill your schedule with Amanpulo's signature aquatic adventures （including diving，windsurfing and sailing），recharge in the award﹣winning spa or feast upon locally caught seafood ﹣the choice is yours．Song Saa，CambodiaSong Saa's incredible ocean views，and breathtaking sunsets are a very typical example of pure paradise．Its 24 villas ﹣each with their own sea﹣view private plunge pool ﹣are designed to reflect the natural beauty of Cambodia's coastline；built from recycled wood with straw roofs and driftwood furnishings，these presences are stylish proof of Song Saa's admirable commitment to sustainability（持续）and conservation．You can choose to do as much or as little as you want here，with rainforest tours，island safaris and reef snorkelling just some of the activities on offer that showcase this spectacular destination．（1）What can we see in the center of Nikoi's Island？A．Lands of desert．B．Streams and rivers．C．Kinds of animals and plants．D．Tall buildings．（2）What can we learn about the Amanpulo's villas？A．They are made of bricks．B．We can have a good view of the sea there．C．They are very expensive．D．We can learn much historic stories from them．（3）What activity can you enjoy in Song Saa？A．Diving．B．White rafting．C．Mountain﹣climbing．D．Rainforest tour．2．（8分）Natural selection is the process by which one type of animal within a species thrives because of certain characteristics that make it more likely to live than others in its group．The history of the peppered moth（灰蛾）is an example of the natural selection process．In 19th century England，certain types of peppered moths were able to better blend （融合）into their surroundings．During that time period，great changes were happening in Great Britain．The Industrial Revolution was part of this change，and with it came air pollution．Natural selection often takes hundred or even thousands of years to occur．For the peppered moth，this process occurred comparatively quickly．At the beginning of the Industrial Age，most peppered moths in England were light ﹣colored and covered with black markings，although a few moths had dark﹣colored wings．Because the light﹣colored moths blended into the light﹣colored bark on the trees，they could not be easily seen by birds that would eat them．As the air grew more polluted，however，tree trunks became covered with soot（烟煤）and became darker．The light﹣colored moths became easy for birds to see against the dark tree trunks．Since the dark﹣colored moths now had the advantage，their numbers grew．Within 50 years，the peppered moth went from being mostly light﹣colored to being mostly dark﹣colored．In the 20th century，the air cleared up，and the peppered moth population changed again．As tree trunks lighted due to less soot in the air，light﹣colored moths once again had an advantage．Their numbers increased as soot levels declined．Depending on their environment，the coloration of the moths helped them to be "naturally selected" to survive．（1）Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word "thrives" in the first paragraph？A．Reduces．B．Booms．C．Changes．D．Endangers．（2）What can we infer about the peppered moth's natural selection process？A．The length of time was unusual．B．The soot levels in England did not affect it．C．This type of color change was typical for moths．D．It was a good example of environmental protection．（3）What's the difference between light﹣colored and dark﹣colored moths？A．Dark﹣colored moths were originally easy to see on trees．B．Both kinds of moths preferred the dark﹣colored trees．C．Birds failed to see light﹣colored moths．D．The color of moths was unimportant．（4）Which would most likely happen if soot darkened England's trees again？A．Birds would eat fewer moths．B．Moths would not be able to stay alive．C．Light﹣colored moths would disturb people's life．D．The population of dark﹣colored moths would increase．3．（8分）Having three cancer patients in the same household can turn a whole family upside down．Michelle Bruce，her husband，Jeremy，and their son，Holden，all had cancer．The family moved to Michelle's hometown of Franklin，Nebraska six years ago，so her parents could help．Doctors found Holden's brain tumor（肿瘤），when he was 12 years old．His family was living in a small town at the time，but there were related doctors in the state．Holden had two operations in Omaha clinic，both of which were tough．When Holden's cancer came back again in 2012，nothing could be done．But the family didn't give up．They reached out to Boston Children's Hospital，which has better equipment and doctors with more experience operating on kids．After looking at Holden's records，the doctor sent back her diagnosis：She was confident that she could remove the tumor．The family was beyond relieved，until they learned insurance wouldn't cover any of the operation's costs．The operation would cost﹩39，000﹣more than the parents could afford．The family got desperate．In a town of just 1，000 people，however，word traveled fast．Within days，a local woman Michelle had never met in person called to say she was planning an event to raise money for Holden．Michelle was touched．The event was uplifting．Finally，the town raised ﹩45，000 ﹣enough to cover not just Holden's hospital bills，but for Michelle and Jeremy's trip to Boston with their son．"I just didn't know what to say，" said Michelle．"Nobody could really believe it．"Holden's operation went much more smoothly than the first two．He is cancer﹣free and now is attending Central Community College﹣Hastings on a full﹣ride scholarship．（1）Where did Michelle's parents live？A．Florida．B．Boston．C．Omaha．D．Franklin．（2）Why did Holden's family go to Boston Children's hospital？A．Because it was near their home．B．Because it had better equipment and doctors．C．Because the medical expense there was cheaper．D．Because they were familiar with the doctors there．（3）What was the feeling of the family when they learned the operation's cost？A．They were in despair．B．They were very delighted．C．They were very surprised．D．They remained calm．（4）What is the best title of the passage？A．World's Best Cancer DoctorsB．Brave Boy Who Conquered His CancerC．1，000 People Saved A Teen's LifeD．Country's Welfare System Shined4．（8分）It's just been three months after the first bike﹣sharing company arrived in Singapore，but reports of abuse and vandalism（故意破坏）of shared bikes in the city keep appearing on social media．The majority of these shared bikes are stationless，which means they don't need to be stopped at a designated（指定的）spot．They lock themselves after your ride is over，and you're meant to just leave the bike at the side of a road．But users have been chaining up bicycles outside their apartments，preventing others from using them．Some people bring them up to their apartment floors，so they can't be found easily by other users．Some people have removed the bikes' number plates or codes，and some even have painted over the bikes to claim the bikes for themselves．Most of the abused bikes belong to either Singapore﹣based oBike，or ofo，a bike﹣sharing giant based in China．ofo has encouraged Singaporean users to report issues．oBike said that the numberof bicycles that were damaged made up less than one percent of its fleet．The company said in February that it planned to bring in "tens of thousands" of bikes by mid﹣2017．The company has yet to ban anyone from its service，but said that it would take appropriate action ﹣including making reports to the police．oBike also introduced a shortcoming system，similar to that of its competitor，China﹣based Mobike．Users start with 100 points，which get taken away for errant（出格的）behaviour such as forgetting to lock the bike，or parking at non ﹣designated areas．Users are banned from using oBike when their scores reach zero．oBike has an eight﹣man operation team that can remove bicycles parked casually．When approached for comment，Mobike said，"In China，just as in Singapore，there are always a tiny minority of people who abuse the bikes，so we designed our system to prevent this type of abuse．"（1）Who is the owner of most of the abused bikes？A．Chinese government．B．Local government．C．A bike﹣sharing giant based in China．D．The users of the bikes．（2）What is the attitude of the oBike toward the abuse of bikes？A．Tolerant．B．Indifferent．C．Supportive．D．Disapproving．（3）What is the meaning of the underlined word "that" in the fifth paragraph？A．System．B．Bike．C．Company．D．Report．（4）What can we learn from the passage about shared bikes？A．They will be introduced soon．B．The abuse of the bikes is on the increase．C．They are very expensive．D．They are well preserved by users．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（10分）After eight months' delicate preparations，an evening gala（聚会）Sail to the Future for leaders and representatives attending the 9th BRICS

this area，and their proud Fujian，or Minnan culture．"The unique geographic advantages of the costal city and the local lifestyle gave us much inspiration of the evening gala，" said Xie Nan，general director of the evening gala．"Many Minnan culture elements，including Fujian opera，fishing culture and Fujian Nanyin，are honored as a ‘living fossil' of ancient Chinese music．（4）．" "A good performance requires close relationship between composing and dance rhythm．At first，we asked the composer and dancer to create their works on their own．（5）．It was not a simple progress．They needed not just perfect time but inspiration and team work，" Zhang Dongxin，executive director of the evening gala，said．A．The gala is based on the theme of "sea"B．And they were taken into the stage performanceC．The gala is meant to be held beside the seaD．That is the end of the whole wonderful performanceE．"Billowing waves" was performed as the opening danceF．It is also one of the most distinctive

inSingapore，but reports of abuse and vandalism（故意破坏）of shared bikes in the city keep appearing on social media．The majority of these shared bikes are stationless，which means they don't need to be stopped at a designated（指定的）spot．They lock themselves after your ride is over，and you're meant to just leave the bike at the side of a road．But users have been chaining up bicycles outside their apartments，preventing others from using them．Some people bring them up to their apartment floors，so they can't be found easily by other users．Some people have removed the bikes' number plates or codes，and some even have painted over the bikes to claim the bikes for themselves．Most of the abused bikes belong to either Singapore﹣based oBike，or ofo，a bike﹣sharing giant based in China．ofo has encouraged Singaporean users to report issues．oBike said that the number of bicycles that were damaged made up less than one percent of its fleet．The company said in February that it planned to bring in "tens of thousands" of bikes by mid﹣2017．The company has yet to ban anyone from its service，but said that it would take appropriate action ﹣including making reports to the police．oBike also introduced a shortcoming system，similar to that of its competitor，China﹣based Mobike．Users start with 100 points，which get taken away for errant（出格的）behaviour such as forgetting to lock the bike，or parking at non ﹣designated areas．Users are banned from using oBike when their scores reach zero．oBike has an eight﹣man operation team that can remove bicycles parked casually．When approached for comment，Mobike said，"In China，just as in Singapore，there are always a tiny minority of people who abuse the bikes，so we designed our system to prevent this type of abuse．"（1）Who is the owner of most of the abused bikes？CA．Chinese government．B．Local government．C．A bike﹣sharing giant based in China．D．The users of the bikes．。

We worked for the same company, and he retired two years before I was also considered “spare”, as some companies call it.Soon after I left work, we had lunch together. First, he assured me that there was life after work. Then he relited his own experien ce. He didn’t want to take another full-time job, so he turned his daughter's old bedroom into a home office. He arranged for some consulting work from our old company, and he picked up more projects from other contacts. Soon he was working 20 to 30 hours a week. He wasn't making as much money. His kids were grown-up, so he didn’t need as much income. “As soon as I left that job,” he told me, “my back problems went away. I started to eat better and get more exercise, I make half as much money, but I feel tw ice as good, and I’m twice as happy.”I decided to follow a similar track. At the time, my younger child almost finished college, so my parental responsibilities were winding down. We sold our old house and moved into a townhouse. I went to work for myself. And the result? Today I, too, make less money. But we make ends meet. And I feel twice as good and twice as happy.Our experience isn't for everybody. But a lot of people have retired early and lived to tell the tale, which proves it possible. Jack another friend, was a salesman for a communication firm. He had a long distance to work and did a lot of traveling. He decided to leave the corporate world, in part because he had health problems and he wanted to spend more time with his family. Later, he quit his job with flexible hours and was restored to his health. And now he has found a part-time job, and he, together with his family, is leading a more relaxing life.24. How did the author and his friends feel about their retired life?A. It's busy but wealthy.B. It's flexible but tiring.C. It’s healthy and happy.D. It’s relaxing and wasteful25. What did the writer’s friend try to tell him at lunch that day?A. He regretted not leaving his job earlier.B. He lived a much better life after retiring.C. Made more money if after finding a new job.D. His life was not easy for him after losing his job.26. Before Jack left his last job, he .A. lived a busy lifeB. used to find part-time jobsC. over travelled with his familyD. worked hard as a real travel agent27. What does the author mainly confirm by writing the text?A. Health is more important than work.B. Young people generally live an exhausting life.C. More retired people are paying attention to health.D. It may be a good choice for people who retire early to do a part-time job.CImagine this scene: it’s blowing outside, and you snuggle (蜷伏) up on the sofa under a warm quilt, chatting and recalling with your closest friends.That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish —hygge. And, as Denmark recently won the title of “the happiest country in the world”, the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.Hygge —originally from a Norwegian word meaning well-being —doesn’t have an exact equivalent (等同物) in English. It’s often translated as coziness, or as blogger Anna West told the BBC, “coziness of the soul”. But, as professor Maren Spark explains, “Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt.”Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season. A typical Hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends —preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.However, hygge isn’t only limited to the cold winter months —it can also describe that warm, fuzzy feeling youget after a walk through a forest with friends on summer’s day or a family barbecue in the park. Hygge is meant to be shared.28. The author asks the readers to imagine the scene in the first paragraph to .A. help the readers to calm downB. introduce the topic of the passageC. present the main idea of the passageD. remind the readers of their past memories29. What do the underlined words by Maren Spark mean?A. The translation of the word “hygge” is not good enough.B. Only Danish speakers know what “hygge” means.C. “Hygge” is easy to translate but hard to feel.D. We can get the true meaning of “hygge” by feeling it.30. Which of the following can be best described as a “hygge” activity?A. Skiing in the cold winter months.B. Living through long dark winters.C. Taking afternoon tea with friends.D. Walking alone in the forest.31. The author writes this passage to .A. explainB. persuadeC. commentD. advertiseDI was at my parent’s dinner table. Before me was a worn journal of thin and discolored pages. It was my grandfather’s journal and now belonged to my father. My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth. I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his life’s journey.I was now about to enter his world, through the words he had left behind. Within minutes, I was captivated by the power of the written words. In the magical script before me. I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art, planned, prepared and enjoyed in the company of others, and a time when people had the heart to pausetheir own lives to embrace(拥抱) each other’s struggles. All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words tha t flowed together to connect with the writer’s mind and understand the world they lived in.That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today. We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment, and hungry for information. No wonder, there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second. Instead of adding to our collective wisdom, most of these writings reflect the superficiality(肤浅) and impatience of our day and age.This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays, it also prevents us from exploring what is indeed important. Writing humbles(使谦卑) us in a way that is vital for our character growth, by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life. Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us. I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather. And I’ve seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity. Their writing reflect deep thought on issues of human importance.32. The underlined word “captivated” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “”.A. puzzledB. frightenedC. attractedD. defeated33. In the author’s grandfather’s age, people .A. lived a hard lifeB. cared about each otherC. were fond of writingD. treated food as an art34. The author begins the text with her grandfather’s journal in order to .A. show her respect to her grandfatherB. present the importance of good writingC. express her interest in reading as well as writingD. raise the problems with today’s writing35. In the last paragraph, the author is trying to .A. discuss what good writing is likeB. express her strong desire to learn writing skillsC. stress the effects of her grandfather’s journal on herD. show her admiration for her grandfather’s writing第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
