AAmsterdam Destination GuideAmsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world，famous for its beautiful canals，top art museums and cycling culture．Here are some key points for your trip to Amsterdam．Must—See AttractionsBegin with the Old Centre，which is full of traditional architecture，shopping centers，and coffee shops. Don’t miss the Dam Square and the areas around Spui and Nieuwmarkt．You’11 also want check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District，which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the V ondelpark．The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem，the Ann Frank House，and the Van Gogh Museum．If You Have TimeThe Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a place for celebrity spotting and nightlife today．The P1antage area has most of the city’s museums，including the Jewish Historical Museum，the Scheepvaart Museum，and the botanical gardens．TransportationAmsterdam Airport Schiphol is located about 15 kilometers southwest of city center．Youcan catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station，which has many connecting routes．Parking is difficult in the city center，so cycling is incredibly popular here，and it’s easy to find cheap bike rentals around town.Money Saving TipsUnless you really want to see the tulips blooming，avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May．This is when hotel and flight prices surge．Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District，where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center．Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money．1．Where can visitors have a picnic?A．The Old Centre．B．The Museum Quarter．C．The V ondelpark D．The Plantage area．2．Why is cycling so popular in the city center?A．It’s difficult to park cars there．B．It has too many connecting routes．C．It’s too far from the airport．D．It’s very cheap to purchase a bike．3．How can visitors save money according to the author’s advice?A．Booking in Mid—April．B．Buying train tickets at the counter．C．Parking in the city center．D．Booking hotel in the South District．BFive years ago，Yellow-Purple tore a flexor tendon(屈肌腱)，making it difficult to use her left leg．The little penguin was having a hard time walking and swimming．Yellow—Purple lives with a large group of African penguins at Mystic Aquarium in Mystic，Connecticut．African penguins are an endangered species．They are beautiful，black and white birds that are about two feet tall when fully grown，and they are very popular with the Aquarium’s visitors．The staff at the Aquarium made a little support boot for Yellow—Purple from plastic．This supported her left ankle and made it much easier for her to do all the things that penguins like to do．Yellow—Purple was getting along fine with her boot，but then Dr．Jen Flower，Chief Clinical Veterinarian at Mystic Aquarium，heard about 3 D printing technology．She decided to use it to help better the boot．Luckily，Mystic Aquarium’s Vice President of Education &Conservation，Kelly Marls，knew that Mystic Middle School had recently acquired a 3D Systems printer．Kelly reached out to the school and arranged a meeting．Sue Prince，Library Media Specialist at Mystic Middle School，and seven middle school students visited Yellow-Purple to learn what was needed，and then contacted the supplier of their 3 D printer，ACT Group．With ACT Group’s help，the students learned how to scan Yellow—Purple’s existing foot cast，then use that data to create a more efficient boot with sculpting software．The final boot design was printed on a 3D printer using multiple materials，allowing the boot to be flexible enough for comfortable movement，yet hard enough to support the injured tendon．The students were thrilled when they saw Yellow—Purple walking almost back to normal．It was a great way to put science into practice．Celebrities like Ashton Kutcher shared Yellow—Purple’s story on Facebook，inspiring more than 1.5 million combined views．4．What can we learn about African penguins?A．They are very large in number．B．They are dangerous species．C．They are beautiful when young．D．They are attractive to visitors．5．Who came up with the idea of an updated support boot?A．The ACT Group．B．Dr．Jen Flower．C．Kelly Matis．D．Sue Prince6．What preparation work was done before the students got the ACT Group’s help? A．They reached school on time．B．They held a meeting to discuss the problem．C．They paid a visit to Yellow—Purple．D．They contacted the ACT Group for supplies．7．What is the best title for this text?A．The development of 3D printingB．A penguin benefiting from high-techC．An effort to put science into practiceD．A software that can designCWe spend a third of our adult lives working and another big part preparing for our careers．Historically，work was rarely seen as a source of meaning and purpose．During the vast majority of our 300，000-year human evolution(进化)，work was in fact pretty simple．We worked to eat and avoid being eaten．Meaning and purpose came from somewhere else，like spirituality，art，religion，or science．The idea that we are meant to find meaning at work or to find work meaningful—is arather modern，if not postmodern，invention．Only one hundred years ago it would have been frequent to see a worker who returned from a typical workday at a factory complain to their folks that they didn’t earn much or they were worn out and rare to see that they complain they didn’t experience a sense of purpose．Similarly，the idea that we ought to bring our“whole self”to work is a pretty novel and recent form of career advice．Its origins can be traced to William Kahn who invented the concept of employee engagement 30 years ago．His point was that employees differ in the degree to which they identify with their work role．Some see work as merely a job and clock in and out every day，without bringing their whole self to work．Work is just not a core aspect of their identity，and their concept of themselves is built on other social categories like mother，husband，American，Christian，captain of the local soccer team，etc．Others，however，have very low psychological distance with their work role，seeing it as essentially intertwined(交融的)with who they are．They don’t just come to work，they are fully devoted to their careers and have a spiritual type of connection with their jobs．They are，it seems，almost possessed by work and are the type of workaholics(工作狂)most companies long for．8．Why did we spend much of our adult lives working?A．To prepare for future careers．B．To find the water sources．C．To help us evolve．D．To make us survive．9．Why did the writer mention the worker a century，ago?A．To help us find meaning at work．B．To prove that the idea was modern．C．To show us the bad old days．D．To complain about the experience．10．Which of the following might William Kahn agree with?A．Employees have different understandings about their work role．B．Every employee must bring their whole self to work．C．To be devoted to work is a pretty novel idea．D．Workers’core identity is built on art categories．11．What kind of employees do most companies favour?A．Those who see work as a job．B．Those who identify with their work role．C．Those who are fully devoted to their work．D．Those who possess experience．DWearing a headset to play a virtual-reality game is fun．As you move your head around，you can see the scene from different angles．You’re in a fake environment that seems so real．But the power of VR may go well beyond entertainment．It just might help people who suffer from long time of pain，a new study finds．“If VR can reduce some types of pain，it could become a new cure with fewer side effects than drugs，”says Sam Hughes，a psychologist at Imperial College London．“And it would be 1ess expensive．”Hughes’group studies bone and muscle pain．One example is sciatica．Sciatica is a form of pain doctors call chronic pain，which is different from the hurt you feel when you hit your knee against a table or put your hand in very hot water．It is fairly long-1ived pain and may even spread from an initial site to other body parts．The researchers tested the pain-altering effect of virtual reality．Each volunteer accepted some form of temporary pain．The pain came from a special cream applied to the skin．The cream contained capsaicin．It’the chemical in hot peppers that burns your mouth．They then showed the volunteers a movie．Each volunteer would see the movie twice—once in 3D，while wearing a VR headset，and once on a normal 2 D screen．The researchers randomly decided for each volunteer whether they watched the 2D or 3D version first．Using the 2D movie as the comparison allowed them to isolate the effect of VR．Watching the movie in VR reduced the pain in the skin area better than did viewing the movie in 2D．VR helped them tolerate more pain in the area of the creamed skin．However，that pain reduction ended a few minutes after removing the VR headsets．The researchers wondered how well VR might reduce other types of pain．12．What’s one of the advantages of VR to reduce pain?A．It’s much safer．B．It’s more convenient．C．It’s much faster．D．It’s more efficient．13．What does the underlined word chronic mean in Paragraph 3?A．sudden B．1ong-term C．1ight D．sharp 14．Why was the special cream used in the experiment?A．To find chemicals in hot peppers． B．To bring comfort to volunteers．C．To burns the volunteers’mouth．D．To cause some temporary pain．15．How was the test carried out?A．By giving numbers．B．By using examples．C．By making a comparison．D．By presenting research findings．第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

ADevon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly where she’s been while she’s on her worldwide vacation in a special way. The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated (截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused inconvenience for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.To spread that message, Gallagher has gone to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the world, but instead of simply using a geo-tag(地理位置标签), she writes her location on her artificial leg before taking a picture.Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam, relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the beautiful Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river ride in Budapest, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board,” Gallagher said. “My mum and grandmot her didn’t like the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”Gallagher said people often stare when she’s writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback(反馈), “My leg hasn’t stop ped me from doing anything I’ve wanted to do,” she said. “I don’t know if it’s my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, anyway, I’ve been able to keep up with people at my age and lead a pretty great life.”Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. Andif life gives you an artificial leg, make art.21.What message did Gallagher want to spread in her special way?A.She enjoys her travelling across the globe.B.She suffers little from her leg’s amputat ion.C.She looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing.D.She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online.22.What does the word “which” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A.the picturesB.the continentC.the legD.the location23.Gallagher can best be described as ________.A.helpful and ambitiousB.friendly and generousC.determined and creativeD.independent and wise答案：CAC解析：21.细节理解题。

AA decreasing birthrate depends to a large extent on the availability and use of birth control and on high living levels that make the production of additional children to provide necessary and inexpensive labor unnecessary. Family planning is a national policy in many industrial countries, such as Japan and most of European countries. As a result, in most cases the birthrate has decreased. Many developing countries have followed the lead of India (which has since 1952 conducted an extensive, but not totally successful,birth control program) in trying to promote family planning as a national policy. These countries include China, Kenya, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Chile.In the United States, facts of the population question, such as birth control and abortion,are among the most bitterly debated subjects. The United States has disagreed strongly at times with the use of foreign aid appropriations (拨款) for family planning overseas and doing that is thought against human rights; family planning in the country is mainly run by private groups such as Planned Parenthood.A number of non-governmental organizations concerned with population growth have also appeared. Zero Population Growth, an educational group founded in 1970, aims to stop population growth, first in the United States and then in other countries. On the international level, besides the International Planned Parenthood Federation, the United Nations Economic and Social Council provides birth control aid to underdeveloped nations.()1.All the following countries try to take family planning as a national policy EXCEPT.A.KenyaB.PakistanC.ChileD.Russia()2.In many industrial countries the birthrate decreases because .A.they take measures in family planningB.they don’t want to provide necessary and cheap laborC.they want to live a life of high living standardsD.they don’t want to bear more additional children()3.What does the underlined word “abortion” probably mean in the second paragraph?A.Food supplies.B.An operation to end a pregnancy.C.Foreign aid.D.High growth of population birthrate.()4.In the United States family planning is not made a national policy probably because .A.Americans think there is no need to keep birth controlB.the government would rather not copy ways of other countriesC.Americans think that is against human rightsD.the government is rich enough to keep more children()5.Zero Population Growth was set up in order to .A.prevent birthrate from growingB.provide birth control aidC.advise people to notice the population questionD.call on the UN to give help to undeveloped countriesBCCTV-9 is an English channel which was set up on September 25th, 2000.

AA man walked into a restaurant and asked for a glass of water. Then the girl in the restaurant pulled out a gun and shot him dead. Why? People asked to give reasonable explanations for the strange happening. All kinds of suggestions were made.She was able to recognize him as a dangerous prisoner who ran away from the prison；she thought he was to robber；she misheard what he said；asking for a glass of water had a special meaning for her and so on. All these explanations showed that the gun was used on purpose to harm the man. The idea was easily accepted.In fact，the explanation was that the man had an attack of hiccups((打嗝）.He just wanted to d rink some water to stop or relieve it. It so happened that the girl in the restaurant knew that a great and sudden fear could get rid of hiccups. But she didn’t know the gun happened to be lo aded(上子弹)that day.1.

But the number who take part in sport is quite small. On the whole，English people prefer to be fat rather than thin.The most popular sport in England is football. Football is played on Saturday afternoon in most towns and the supporters of a certain team will travel from one end of the country to the other to see their team play. There are four divisions(级别) of the football league. Not surprisingly，the best teams are in the first division. But the best supporters are often in the fourth division. You have to be a good supporter to watch the fourth division football!Many other sports are also played in England，such as golf，in which you try to knock a ball into a hole；basketball，in which you try to get a ball through a net；tennis，in which you try to hit a ball so that your opponent(对手)cannot hit it. As you see，if the ball had not been invented，there would have been no sport.Actually，that i s not quite true. Athletics(田径)isn’t played with a ball，nor horseracing.

My main goal was to relax in preparation for the challenges of my retirement in the coming year.Through my stay in Montreal，I met lots of Chinese who are struggling to succeed and then lead a better life in Canada. Some travelled thousands of miles to get knowledge. When I spoke with some of them about the major barrier they had to face after they arrived in Canada, they all talked about the two official languages of Canada. But I was impressed by their ability to express their ideas while switching between English and French.Almost all of those people said they often felt homesick. They miss their families and friends. Though Montreal has lots of Chinese restaurants，they long for a home-cooked meal.I met some tourists who were t rying to realize their childhood dreams of experiencing the life in a developed country. When I asked them if Montreal had lived up to their expectations they hesitated. They said that reality never agrees with fantasies. However, they were glad to have the opportunity to visit Montreal and didn’t regret taking the trip.。

B．How about a chat？C．Have you prepared for the result? D．Go ahead！1 will back you up！7．What’s the main idea of the text?A．Value the source of inspiration from your community．B．Communicate with your community more about study．C．Find a way to block out support from your community．D．Let support from your community become less stressful．CA new study finds that the average performance of students from the lowest income families in the US lags（滞后）about three to four years behind that of the highest income students an achievement gap that has remained constant for decades．An analysis of standardized tests given to more than 2．7 million middle and high school students over 40 years suggests that federal education programs aimed at closing the gap are falling short．Researchers looked at results from four different programs conducted nationwide at variuous intervals from 1971 to 2015 to test teenagers in math，reading and science．A total of 98 exams were used in the programs，testing students aged 13—15 as well as 17-year—olds．Test scores for 17-year-old students in the bottom 10th income percentile（百分位)were far lower than those in the top 10th percentile．Meanwhile，the overall test scores didn’t shift for 17—year-olds during the study period．They did improve slightly for 13-to 15-year—olds，which suggests that federal programs for younger students have been helpful．But the lowest income students still score much lower than the highest income students．“Programs for older students are badly needed，”says study coauthor Eric Hanushek,an education economist at Stanford University．“Lower achievement in high schoo1 leads to lower earning potential throughout aduhhood．The next generation is going to look a lot like this generation．Kids from poor families will become poor themselves．”Whether the problem is worsening，however，is up for debate．A 2011 study，conducted by Stanford education sociologist Sean Reardon，looked at 12 exams administered from 1960 to 2007，and found that the gap in test scores between the poorest and the wealthiest students grew by 40 percent．It shows the poorest students 1ag about three to six years behind their wealthier peers in 1earning．Reardon suggested parents of means were increasingly investing in their children’s education,sharpening the divide．The different results between the new study and that conducted in 2011 come down to the fact that the researchers analyzed results from different tests and how they categorized（分类)family income 1evel,says education sociologist AnnaChmielewski．Hanushek and Reardon agree that the income—related achievement gap is alarming．8．What does the result of the new study indicate？A．The poorest students’lagging behind exists in specific age groups．B．A better standard for category should be adopted in the study．C．The federal education programs turned out unsuccessful generally．D．A better school performance necessarily leads to higher income．9．How does the author present the serious issue？A．By showing the discussion result．B．By clarifying some points．C．By doing a questionnaire．D．By making a comparison．10．What may cause the different results of the two studies？A．The different countries．B．The analytical methods．C．The income assessments．D．The different ranges of age．11．Why does the income—related achievement gap concern people？A．It will disappear eventually．B．It will further widen the social gap．C．It results in the students’blind competitions．D．It makes Americans smarter and richer．DScientists already know that plants are highly sensitive to touch of any kind．If you've ever touched Mimosa pudica(含羞草)，you’ve already witnessed its fan-like leaves close up．But most of the time,the effect is invisible，or immediately invisible．A recent study found that touching plants causes such a dramatic response in their hormones and gene expression that it could greatly prevent their growth．The team touched thale cress，a weedy plant，with soft paint brushes,and then analyzed the plant’s biological responses．“The lightest touch from a human，an animal，an insect，or even plants touching each other in the wind，causes a huge gene response in the plant，”Jim Whelan，a biologist at La Trobe University in Australia，said in a statement．“Within 30 minutes of being touched，10％of the plant's genome（基因组)is changed．"Previous research has suggested that touch could actually be beneficial，because it stimulates(刺激)the plant’s immune system．But this study found that the plants used many resources to respond to touch，which are then not available for growing．The researchers found if they touched a plant multiple times，this was enough to reduce its growth rate by as much as 30％．Other papers have similarly shown that touch can change plant growth;a paper released in 2016 found that even a gentle pat could change the expression of thousands of genes within the same plant．“While plants don’t appear to complain when we step on them，or just brush by them while going for a walk，they’re fully aware of this contact and rapidly respond to our treatment of them，"said Olivier Van Aken，a plant biologist at the University of Western Australia．Whelan and his team uncovered more information about the genetic pathways thatare activated by touching a plant，which may be useful for developing more resilient（能复原的）plants．Whelan told the Sydney Morning Herald that the findings are likely most useful for the agriculture industry：if plant scientists can find ways to change that defensive response，produce yields(产量)could potentially go up．12．How does touch prevent a plant growlng？A．By causing genetic changes．B．By conveying harmful substances．C．By stopping it absorbing nutrients．D．By damaging its inner structure．13．What can be concluded from Olivier Van Aken's words about plants?A．They are easy to look after．B．They respond rapidly to any contact．C．They never have feelings for touch．D．They are allergic to any human activity．14．What does the last paragraph focus on?A．The significance of the study．B．The approaches to the findings．C．The way to develop resilient plants．D．The information about increasing produce yields．15．What can be the best title for the text？A．Plants’gene expression is defined by touchB．Touch will help increase produce yieldsC．Something is done to help plants growD．Plants don’t really like to be touched第二节(共5小题;每小题2。
