Tahosa High Adventure Base.B“You’ll be blind by the time you’re twenty-five,” a doctor at Children’s Hospital predicted. “Your blood sugars are much too high.” It consumed me. No matter where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.When I was twenty-one, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after my twenty-fifth birthday, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting.Desperate, I enrolled in (注册) a sixteen-week program for the blind and visually impaired (损伤的). I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program.“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind,” my instructor told me. “You can use the Internet, e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.” I t’s amazing! Hope went up for the first time in years. “By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and Powerpoint,” my instructor added.For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaking computer, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock and calculator.4.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The right opportunity.B. Losing my sight in the future.C. Consuming too much sugarD. The children’s hospital.5. What happened when the author was 25 years old?A. He gave up painting.B. He went blind completelyC. He injured one of his eyes.D. He picked up a new hobby6. What brought a turning point to the author?A. A special course.B. A meaningful eventC. An inspiring speech.D. An important interview.7. What does the author intend to tell us?A. No pain, no gain.B. Every man has his price.C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.D. Be optimistic in the face of life’s difficulties.CThese days, I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon, and still look for the Crow’s Nest, a small green obs ervation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds, but which has since been knocked down.The Crow’s Nest was a particularly useful point, because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time. At days end, reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.Twenty-seven years later, the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court, and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished. You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.More than at any other tennis tournament, there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting, the history and the traditions.If they change the price of the fish tacos (鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open, it’s not a story. If they change the price of the strawberries and cream, the signature treat at Wimbledon. It’s time to email your editor using capital letters.The new retractable (可伸缩的) roof was put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had to have a rainy-day story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played. Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative. But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.So much has changed, but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit: more a theater than a stadium. Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon, too.8. What did the author do on the Cr ow’s Nest in the past?A. He made friends with reporters.B. He reported on tennis matches.C. He appreciated the beautiful scenery.D. He exchanged experiences with tennis players.9. What does the author think of the new way of covering Wimbledon?A. It lacks fun.B. It is expensiveC. It is not convenient.D. It is not quick enough10. Why does the author mention strawberries and cream?A. To compare popular foods.B. To introduce the typical treat at Wimbledon.C. To describe people’s craze f or traditional dishes.D. To show the traditions of Wimbledon are an attraction.11. What difference does the new roof make?A. Audiences have easier access to a tennis court.B. There’s less fun in watching Wimbledon indoors.C. Reporters are struggling to find original material.D. rainy-day stories about Wimbledon have become history.DOn January 13, 2016, France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate food that is approaching its expiration date (保质期) instead of throwing it away. The regulation that applies to supermarkets over 4,000 square feet requires stores to sign official donation agreements with local food banks.The law also makes it illegal for stores to pour water over nearly-expired food, or store it inside locked warehouses until it is picked up by the garbage trucks. These measures are often undertaken by supermarkets to prevent the hungry from searching for food through the dustbins. Though that may appear cruel, the stores claim they do it to avoid potential food poisoning that could occur if the product is on its way past its expiry. Those who do not obey the new law face the risk of heavy fines.Also, excess goods like yogurt or milk that are likely to go bad quickly are now allowed to be donated directly to the food banks. Though this has always been possible, the current process is long and complex, making it difficult for producers to give away the food in a timely manner. France’s food banks are of course thrilled about the possib ility of receiving extra food. Jacques Bailet, who heads a network of French food banks called the Banques Alimentaires, says that of the 110,000 tons of goods received annually, only 36,000 tons comes from supermarkets. Bailet estimates (估计) that just a 15% increase in supermarket donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban, is not done. He now wants to extend the law to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations. These steps are necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in France; an astonishing 67% is thrown away by consumers, with supermarkets and restaurants making up the rest.12. What should stores do with nearly-expired food?A. Throw it away.B. Send it to the hungry.C. Store it in refrigerators.D. Give it away to food banks.13. What does the underlined word “excess” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Extra.B. Cheap.C. Seasonal.D. Returned.14. What might Bailet agree with about the French food banks?A. They have a lot of expired food.B. They will get much benefit from the law.C. Their food is enough for the people in need.D. Their food mainly comes from supermarkets.15. What does Dermabarsh plan to do?A. Build more food banks in France.B. Make the law take effect in more places.C. Organize a campaign to promote this law.D. Raise consumers awareness of waste reduction.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。

A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereo loud enough for the whole building to hear.On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairs and politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived inthe building. The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed,and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he hadtaken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. The next day allwas quiet, and Edward continued to be pleased with himself. The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching band was playing on his street.In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again.Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did with rude neighbors－ grin and bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else are you going to do?In Los Angles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loudand too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentencedto prison for 20 years.The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still livingin her apartment, she could always move. When you’re in prison, you don’t have that option.1. The man living below where Edward lived was___________________________________ .A . a deaf man______________B . the owner of the houseC . a tenantD . an old neighbor2. What did Edward always do with rude neighbors?A . Grinning and bearing it.B . Persuading them to stop repeatedly.C . Shouting them to dead.D . Moving away from the rude neighbors.3. The woman killed her neighbor because ___________________________________ .A . he ignored her advice repeatedlyB . she could not stand his playing the guitar too loudC . she could not put up with him any longerD . he played the drums too often4. The author writes the last paragraph to prove that___________________________________ .A . being in prison means the loss of freedomB . grinning and bearing it is the best policyC . Edward should follow the example of the womanD . the woman was right to kill her neighbor3. Picture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook–only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurantwaiting for you. It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists.Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves. The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands. According to its creators, the arms can chop, stir, whisk and baste well enough to recreate almostanything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-cooked supper, or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef. The hands move a little slowly, hovering strangely above the work surface whenever they are not busy, but they imitate human movements closely enough that theycan do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.Mr Ol eynik, who is leading the project, said, “All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here. There is no limitation. A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants, but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home. This is an opportunityfor people to enjoy very good food, and for a reasonable price. ”The only cuisine that is off the robot’s menu at the moment is sushi, which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble fingers to make, but the teamplan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.1. People go to Michelin-starred restaurants in order to______.A. appreciate car tires._________________________________B. enjoy delicious mealsC. see the new robot chefsD. escape from work2. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. British scientists________________________B. The robot chef’s armsC. Cooks at restaurantsD. Household wives3. Which kind of food CAN’T the robot chef cook at present?A. BreadB. BeefC. SushiD. Sandwich4. What can we infer from the passage?A. Hands of a robot chef can perform exactly like a cook.B. Robot chefs are available at shopping malls.C. Michelin-starred restaurants are suitable for many people.D. It is uncertain when the robot can cook all kinds of food.4. Has this happened to you? You’re about to drift off to sleep when suddenly you feel like you’re falling or coming down on a roller coaster.You then wake up to realize that you’re safe in yourbed. You may have been confused or frightened for a second or two and your heart may be beating faster. You mayhave also felt the muscles in your body jerk( 抽搐 ) when this all happened. Did you ever wonder why?This falling sensation, together with a body movement known as a “sleep start”, is what doctors and scientists calla myoclonic( 肌阵挛的 )jerk, and it usually happens right before going into deeper stages of sleep. Here’s why doctors think the falling feeling and myoclonic jerks happen. When youfall asleep, normally your body temperature goes down andyour heart start to beat just a little slower. This is because your brain signals your body to relax to preparefor sleep. When your muscles are relaxed, you go into the very first stages of sleep, but you’re not sleeping too deeply yet.This brain activity may cause your larger muscles tocontract( 收缩 ) a little bit. In response, another part of your brain will make up a very quick mini-dream to go along with what is happening . You might think this would take a while, but your brain works so fast that it makes up the story almost at the same instant that your muscles jerk.During this light sleep, you can be awakened easily. People who wake up during this light sleep believe they haven’t fallen asleep yet. That’s why you may think that yourbody jerked right before you were about to fall asleep.Myoclonic jerk are a normal part of sleep. Most people have them at one time or another. But many people don’t realize their muscles are jerking during night sleep if it doesn’t wake them up.So the next time you dream about falling and wake up in a sweat, don’t worry! Your body is just telling your muscles to relax and get some rest!1. People sometimes wake up during a light sleep because______.A. they are disturbed by others.B. they are too tired to fall asleep.C. their bodies are preparing for sleep.D. they believe their lives are in danger.2. What does the underlined part “ what is happening” in Pa ragraph 4 refer to?A. The body jerkB. The mini- dreamC. The slow heartbeatD. The falling body temperature3. The author thinks myoclonic jerks during sleep are _____.A. worryingB. usualC. abnormalD. useful4. It can be inferred that myoclonic jerks ________.A. lead to muscle diseaseB. happen in a deep sleepB. are related to brain diseaseD. don’t always wake people up二、七选五5. 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。

reading．These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys，and have a more positive attitude toward reading．There are several reasons that help explain these gender﹣based differences．Parents read more with their daughters．This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls，as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage．Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls，girls still receive more encouragement to read from theirparents．So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially﹣engineered gap for boys' reading？To improve boys' reading performance，parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading．This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so ﹣called "boy﹣friendly" books that boys supposedly "prefer"．These are typically assumed to be non﹣fiction works，as many people believed that boys prefer to read non﹣fiction．But this belief is not supported by recent research，which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non﹣fiction．Encouraging all boys to read non﹣fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful．Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability．Besides encouraging more fiction reading，there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books．Firstly，don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time．To match boys with suitable reading material，have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests．Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling．Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys，and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class．Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading．In addition，we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls．Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model．Let your children or students see you read for pleasure．（1）According to the author，what is the main cause of the difference in boys' and girls' reading ability？A．Social factors．B．Teaching methods．C．Personal preferences．D．Psychological differences．（2）Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading？A．To persuade boys to read more often．B．To learn what boys are most interested in．C．To help boys improve their language ability．D．To show that adults are good reading role models．（3）When should schools give students additional library access according to the author？A．Before and after class．B．At any time of the school day．C．At regular times during class．D．When they are in the lower grades．（4）What is the main purpose of the text？A．To show students ways to improve their reading．B．To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls．C．To urge governments to provide more reading resources．D．To provide strategies that can help improve boys' reading ability．3．（8分）"Anything you want，anytime you need it．"The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the same time，on the same day：December 12th，at 12 p．m.. Simultaneously，important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand﹣delivered to the offices of all the major news companies．One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin，a business reporter at The Post．The card was beautifully designed ﹣a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters．There was no explanation on the back，just a website address．Chris went to the website．Its style was identical to the card's and said："Anytime：Starting Tomorrow．"The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime．Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon？A joke？Something illegal？Anytime's marketing had worked ﹣it was a household name before it'd even made a single sale．When the opening came，that day at noon，the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read，"What do you want？" All you had to do was type the words into that box，and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered：within one，ten，or twenty ﹣four hours．Bloggers were the first to test the service．And their reviews were glowing．Within weeks，Anytime had become a part of daily life．Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster．Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was．He tried to find out who owned the company，but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public．He did find some interesting facts，though．Anyone who challenged the company，it seemed，met with serious trouble．A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest．The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin．Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime．By lunch，he had more than one hundred examples．Something was definitely wrong．Chris worked on his list the rest of the day，emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records．After working through the night，an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a．m．．When he woke a few hours later，there was a message flashing on his computer screen："Stop making trouble．" Chris smiled．He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track．（1）What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin？A．An invitation to a company opening．B．The website address of a new company．C．The words "Anytime：Starting tomorrow"．D．The words "Anything you want，anytime you need it"．（2）Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters？A．Because it didn't have enough money for traditional advertising．B．Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers．C．So the reporters would write stories about the new company．D．So people would find the new company interesting．（3）What did Chris' s research suggest about Anytime？A．It may be very dangerous．B．Its popularity would soon decrease．C．It was doing business all over the world．D．It was being widely criticised by journalists．（4）How did Chris feel at the end of the story？A．Scared that he would get into trouble．B．Confident that he would find the truth．C．Nervous about what the company would do．D．Satisfied that he had discovered the company's secret．4．（8分）Inside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris，a small metal cylinder （圆柱体）rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars．It has lain there for more than a century，its rest only occasionally disturbed when the room's three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal．First，the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft，alcohol﹣soaked cloth．Then it is steamed with pure water．Finally，the 1kg cylinder is returned，carefully，to its resting place．Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual，but has a purpose．The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining，circular metal is its holiest relic．It is the defining mass （质量）against which all other kilograms are measured．This is the international prototype，or standard，of the kilogram．The IPK，in short．Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made．They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual nations' weights and measures systems．But the days of the IPK，in its current form，are numbered．The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement ﹣based on electric current ﹣in order to define the mass of an object．The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned．"One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security，" says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson．"If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed，we would have no reference left for the world's metric weights system．There would be chaos．The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris，after all．"Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements．"Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram，" says Robinson．"We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy．"（1）What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs？A．It's cared for with great devotion．B．It's used in religious ceremonies．C．It's beautifully designed and decorated．D．It's the most valuable metal in the world．（2）Which of the following best explains "dethroned" underlined in paragraph 5？A．rebuiltB．removedC．destroyedD．upgraded（3）What is a reason for replacing the current IPK？A．To protect the metal cylinder from damage．B．To make taking measurements more economical．C．To provide all countries with the same standard．D．To satisfy the increasing demand for exactness．（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？A．No more kilosB．A heavy technologyC．The future of the kiloD．The history of measures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）It was the 2015 "super storm" in New South Wales that restored my faith in people．During a break in the weather，I stupidly decided to drive into town to buy some groceries．However，as I left the supermarket and drove back，the weather took a turn for the worse．（1）Having nowhere to go，I spotted a young man in his front yard assessing the situation．He quickly waved to me to come and park in his driveway．（2）The man，who introduced himself as Trent，then invited me to wait inside his house with his wife，Kayti and their two daughters．I told him I was concerned about the damage to my car，as the continuing rain was starting to turn into hail （冰雹）．Trent then grabbed a blanket from his garage and covered my car．（3）Fortunately，his efforts saved my car from being damaged by the hail．By 11：00 a．m．，the electricity and phone services had both

the world，studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading．These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys，and have a more positive attitude toward reading．There are several reasons that help explain these gender﹣based differences．Parents read more with their daughters．This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls，as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage．Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls，girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents．So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially﹣engineered gap for boys' reading？To improve boys' reading performance，parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading．This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so ﹣called "boy﹣friendly" books that boys supposedly "prefer"．These are typically assumed to be non﹣fiction works，as many people believed that boys prefer to read non﹣fiction．But this belief is not supported by recent research，which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non﹣fiction．Encouraging all boys to read non﹣fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful．Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability．Besides encouraging more fiction reading，there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books．Firstly，don't assume that boys of the same age have the sameinterests or that their interests stay the same over time．To match boys with suitable reading material，have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests．Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling．Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys，and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class．Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading．In addition，we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls．Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model．Let your children or students see you read for pleasure．（1）According to the author，what is the main cause of the difference in boys' and girls' reading ability？BA．Social factors．B．Teaching methods．C．Personal preferences．D．Psychological differences．（2）Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading？B A．To persuade boys to read more often．B．To learn what boys are most interested in．C．To help boys improve their language ability．D．To show that adults are good reading role models．（3）When should schools give students additional library access according to the author？C A．Before and after class．B．At any time of the school day．C．At regular times during class．D．When they are in the lower grades．（4）What is the main purpose of the text？DA．To show students ways to improve their reading．B．To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls．C．To urge governments to provide more reading resources．D．To provide strategies that can help improve boys' reading ability．【考点】O5：科教类阅读．【分析】本文是提供有助于提高男孩阅读能力的策略．作者建议父母多和男孩子讨论阅读，以此了解男孩子的兴趣爱好．【解答】BBCD1．B．细节理解题．根据第一段"There are several reasons that help explain these gender﹣based differences．Parents read more with their daughters．This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls"可知，父母对子女的教育方法，是造成男女阅读能力差异的主要原因，通常女儿阅读量更大．故选A．2．B．细节理解题．根据第六段" To match boys with suitable reading material，have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests．"可知，作者建议父母多和男孩子讨论阅读，以此了解男孩子的兴趣爱好．故选B．3．C．细节理解题．根据倒数第二段"Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling"可知，根据作者的说法，学校在上课的时间，即上学期间，给学生额外的图书馆资源．故选C．4．D．细节理解题．根据第四段"To improve boys' reading performance "可知，本文是提供有助于提高男孩阅读能力的策略．故选D．【点评】阅读理解考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．3．（8分）"Anything you want，anytime you need it．"The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the same time，on the same day：December 12th，at 12 p．m.. Simultaneously，important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand﹣delivered to the offices of all the major news companies．One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin，a business reporter at The Post．The card was beautifully designed ﹣a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters．There was no explanation on the back，just a website address．Chris went to thewebsite．Its style was identical to the card's and said："Anytime：Starting Tomorrow．"The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime．Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon？A joke？Something illegal？Anytime's marketing had worked ﹣it was a household name before it'd even made a single sale．When the opening came，that day at noon，the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read，"What do you want？" All you had to do was type the words into that box，and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered：within one，ten，or twenty ﹣four hours．Bloggers were the first to test the service．And their reviews were glowing．Within weeks，Anytime had become a part of daily life．Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster．Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was．He tried to find out who owned the company，but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public．He did find some interesting facts，though．Anyone who challenged the company，it seemed，met with serious trouble．A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest．The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin．Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime．By lunch，he had more than one hundred examples．Something was definitely wrong．Chris worked on his list the rest of the day，emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records．After working through the night，an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a．m．．When he woke a few hours later，there was a message flashing on his computer screen："Stop making trouble．" Chris smiled．He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track．（1）What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin？DA．An invitation to a company opening．。

Tahosa High Adventure Base.B“You’ll be blind by the time you’re twenty-five,” a doctor at Children’s Hospital predicted. “Your blood sugars are much too high.” It consumed me. No matter where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.When I was twenty-one, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after my twenty-fifth birthday, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting.Desperate, I enrolled in (注册) a sixteen-week program for the blind and visually impaired (损伤的). I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program.“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind,” my instructor told me. “You can use the Internet, e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.” I t’s amazing! Hope we nt up for the first time in years. “By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and Powerpoint,” my instructor added.For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaking computer, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock and calculator.4.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The right opportunity.B. Losing my sight in the future.C. Consuming too much sugarD. The children’s hospital.5. What happened when the author was 25 years old?A. He gave up painting.B. He went blind completelyC. He injured one of his eyes.D. He picked up a new hobby6. What brought a turning point to the author?A. A special course.B. A meaningful eventC. An inspiring speech.D. An important interview.7. What does the author intend to tell us?A. No pain, no gain.B. Every man has his price.C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.D. Be optimistic in the face of life’s difficulties.CThese days, I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon, and still look for the Crow’s Nest, a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds, but which has since been knocked down.The Crow’s Nest was a particularly useful point, because it allowed a tennis writer to keep trackof the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time. At days end, reporters from different nations wouldshare notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.Twenty-seven years later, the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court, and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished. You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.More than at any other tennis tournament, there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting, the history and the traditions.If they change the price of the fish tacos (鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open, it’s not a story. If they change the price of the strawberries and cream, the signature treat at Wimbledon. It’s time to email your editor using capital letters.The new retractable (可伸缩的) roof was put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had to have a rainy-day story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played. Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative. But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.So much has changed, but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit: more a theater than a stadium. Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon, too.8. What did the author do on the Crow’s Nest in the past?A. He made friends with reporters.B. He reported on tennis matches.C. He appreciated the beautiful scenery.D. He exchanged experiences with tennis players.9. What does the author think of the new way of covering Wimbledon?A. It lacks fun.B. It is expensiveC. It is not convenient.D. It is not quick enough10. Why does the author mention strawberries and cream?A. To compare popular foods.B. To introduce the typical treat at Wimbledon.C. To describe people’s craze for traditional dishes.D. To show the traditions of Wimbledon are an attraction.11. What difference does the new roof make?A. Audiences have easier access to a tennis court.B. There’s less fun in watching Wimbledon indoors.C. Reporters are struggling to find original material.D. rainy-day stories about Wimbledon have become history.DOn January 13, 2016, France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate food that is approaching its expiration date (保质期) instead of throwing it away. The regulation that applies to supermarkets over 4,000 square feet requires stores to sign official donation agreements with local food banks.The law also makes it illegal for stores to pour water over nearly-expired food, or store it inside locked warehouses until it is picked up by the garbage trucks. These measures are often undertaken by supermarkets to prevent the hungry from searching for food through the dustbins.Though that may appear cruel, the stores claim they do it to avoid potential food poisoning that could occur if the product is on its way past its expiry. Those who do not obey the new law face the risk of heavy fines.Also, excess goods like yogurt or milk that are likely to go bad quickly are now allowed to be donated directly to the food banks. Though this has always been possible, the current process is long and complex, making it difficult for producers to give away the food in a timely manner.France’s food banks are of course thrilled about the possibility of receiving extra food. Jacques Bailet, who heads a network of French food banks called the Banques Alimentaires, says that of the 110,000 tons of goods received annually, only 36,000 tons comes from supermarkets. Bailet estimates (估计) that just a 15% increase in supermarket donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban, is not done. He now wants to extend the law to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations. These steps are necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in France; an astonishing 67% is thrown away by consumers, with supermarkets and restaurants making up the rest.12. What should stores do with nearly-expired food?A. Throw it away.B. Send it to the hungry.C. Store it in refrigerators.D. Give it away to food banks.13. What does the underlined word “excess” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Extra.B. Cheap.C. Seasonal.D. Returned.14. What might Bailet agree with about the French food banks?A. They have a lot of expired food.B. They will get much benefit from the law.C. Their food is enough for the people in need.D. Their food mainly comes from supermarkets.15. What does Dermabarsh plan to do?A. Build more food banks in France.B. Make the law take effect in more places.C. Organize a campaign to promote this law.D. Raise consumers awareness of waste reduction.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。

In addition to treating the boys for potential body fluid loss, inadequate nutrition andlack of oxygen, their doctors also plan to closely monitor them for symptoms of diseases thatmay have been infected by animals living in the cave.“The next step is to make sure those kids and their families are safe, because living ina cave provides a different environment,which might contain animals that could transmit ⋯disease, ” said the local hospital. The boys and their family members have been toldto watch for symptoms such as headache, nausea(反胃 ), muscle pain or difficulty breathing, thereports added.Yet based on the location where the boys were trapped— more than four kilometers from thecave complex ’s main entrance, past some fully submerged passages — and the fact they have been swimming out wearing full scuba face masks, it seems unlikely that they were living with batsin the cave or breathed in bat-associated bacteria during their rescue,several infectious disease experts said.“It ’s hard to imagine bats got that deep into the cave because of all those narrow passageways,but it is possible, ” says Ian Lipkin,an animal expert and professor at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University.“It ’s unlikely that there would be many animals in there, ” notes Jonathan Epstein, a doctor at EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit organizati on that studies diseases and how to prevent them. Bats typically like to rest in areas they can easilyenter and exit, not in places that fully flood, he adds.Bats in Thailand have been linked with a wide range of viruses that are similar to severeacute respiratory syndrome (SARS)— Lipkin says.But it seems more likely the boys would have been exposed to infection-causing bacteria when they swamthrough the dirty water with cuts and scrapes.“If you are trying to prioritize issues with respect to health ca re for these kids, number one would be psychological damage and second will be bacterial infections from the cuts and scrapesthey may have encountered.” Lipkin says.4.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the potential symptom of the rescuedteam members?A. Lacking body waterB. Unbalanced nutritionC. Pain in the head and musclesD. Adequate oxygen5.The underlined word A. under the water C. with animals “submerged” in paragraph 3 means ____________.B.wild and dangerousD. bat-associated6.Which is true about the caves and the trapped people?A. Jonathan Epstein thought it possible for the team members to be attacked by bats inthe fully-flooded cave.B. Lipkin argued bats were not able to get deep into the narrow cave where the kids were trapped.C. Lipkin said the victims might be infected when their body were exposed to bacterial waterduring the rescue.D. Lipkin believed the most important issue for the cave-trapped teenagers was infectiousbacteria examination.7. What is the text type of the passage?A. An academic essay about bats.B. A newspaper article.C. A medical magazine.D. A Thai website about sports.CSo many of us hold on to little resentments that may have come from an argument, misunderstanding,or some other painful event.Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach outato us— believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn ’t very good, recently told me that she hadn spoken toher son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement’t about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first.WhenI suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted initially and said,“I can’t do that. He’s theone who should apologize.”She was literally willing to die before reaching outAfter a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out.To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of hisown. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.to her only son.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn“small stuff” into really“big stuff minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They arenot. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach ” in our almost neverout. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right,” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason theydon’t, that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.8.The underlined wordA. recover “rekindle”B. developin Paragraph 1 probably meansC. accept“____________”.D. replace9. According to the passage, the au thor’s friend never spoke to her son for three years because ____________.A. she had got an argument with her daughter-in-lawB. she had disagreed about her son’s marriageC. she had got an argument about her daughter-in-lawD. she had disliked he r son ’s wife for many years10.Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to be unwilling to apologize first?A.People believe that they are always right.B.People always wait for others to offer an apology first.C.People consider the position more important than happiness.D.People want to get an inner satisfaction.11.The purpose of the passage is to ____________.A.instruct the readers how to apologizeB.teach the readers how to gain inner peacerm the readers the importance of being forgivingD.tell the readers to reach out first when there are painful events.DA new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to formnew industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the waveof industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the newdevelopments are taking Physicists are creating place in research labs anew class of materialsallover the globe — and Asians are inthat display an amazing propertythe forefront.unforeseen eventwo years ago— superconductivity (超导体技术).Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radicallychange most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller,more powerful and efficient.They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel ( 柴油 ) vehicles with electric cars,and cut the cost of electricity.The new materials do somethingthat even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannot — they do away with resistance. The significances for energy storage are great.The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to investbrains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first all electrical with limitedobserved in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银 ) to temperatures below - 269℃with liquid helium(氦).Then in January last year,two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz,found a metal oxide ceramic( 氧化陶瓷)that superconductedat - 243℃. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston.Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助产士) to a new technology.12. As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivity.A. has already been developedB. is still under developmentC. will be used only in specialized equipmentD. will be used in daily lives in a few years13. The new technology differs from the others in that.A. it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the worldB. it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the worldC. it is being cultivated in research labs around the worldD. it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich14. From the passage, we may conclude that.A. Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new technologyB. Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 yearsC. IBM scientists' report receive immediate attention all over the worldD. the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians15.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.The Prospect of a New TechnologyB.Superconductivity: A New TechnologyC.A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our LivesD.A New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries第二节( 共 5 小题；每题 2 分，满分10 分 )依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

No matter where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.When I was twenty-one, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after my twenty-fifth birthday, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting.Desperate, I enrolled in (注册) a sixteen-week program for the blind and visually impaired (损伤的). I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program.“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind,” my instructor told me. “You can use the Internet, e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.” I t’s amazing! Hope we nt up for the first time in years. “By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and Powerpoint,” my instructor added.For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaking computer, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock and calculator.4.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The right opportunity.B. Losing my sight in the future.C. Consuming too much sugarD. The children’s hospital.5. What happened when the author was 25 years old?A. He gave up painting.B. He went blind completelyC.

What does the author intend to tell us?A. No pain, no gain.B. Every man has his price.C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.D. Be optimistic in the face of life’s difficulties.CThese days, I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon, and still look for the Crow’s Nest, a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds, but which has since been knocked down.The Crow’s Nest was a particularly useful point, because it allowed a tennis writer to keep trackof the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time. At days end, reporters from different nations wouldshare notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.Twenty-seven years later, the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court, and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished. You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.More than at any other tennis tournament, there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting, the history and the traditions.If they change the price of the fish tacos (鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open, it’s not a story. If they change the price of the strawberries and cream, the signature treat at Wimbledon. It’s time to email your editor using capital letters.The new retractable (可伸缩的) roof was put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had to have a rainy-day story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played. Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative. But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.So much has changed, but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit: more a theater than a stadium. Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon, too.8. What did the author do on the Crow’s Nest in the past?A. He made friends with reporters.B. He reported on tennis matches.C. He appreciated the beautiful scenery.D. He exchanged experiences with tennis players.9. What does the author think of the new way of covering Wimbledon?A. It lacks fun.B. It is expensiveC. It is not convenient.D. It is not quick enough10. Why does the author mention strawberries and cream?A. To compare popular foods.B. To introduce the typical treat at Wimbledon.C. To describe people’s craze for traditional dishes.D. To show the traditions of Wimbledon are an attraction.11. What difference does the new roof make?A. Audiences have easier access to a tennis court.B. There’s less fun in watching Wimbledon indoors.C. Reporters are struggling to find original material.D. rainy-day stories about Wimbledon have become history.DOn January 13, 2016, France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate food that is approaching its expiration date (保质期) instead of throwing it away. The regulation that applies to supermarkets over 4,000 square feet requires stores to sign official donation agreements with local food banks.The law also makes it illegal for stores to pour water over nearly-expired food, or store it inside locked warehouses until it is picked up by the garbage trucks. These measures are often undertaken by supermarkets to prevent the hungry from searching for food through the dustbins.Though that may appear cruel, the stores claim they do it to avoid potential food poisoning that could occur if the product is on its way past its expiry. Those who do not obey the new law face the risk of heavy fines.Also, excess goods like yogurt or milk that are likely to go bad quickly are now allowed to be donated directly to the food banks. Though this has always been possible, the current process is long and complex, making it difficult for producers to give away the food in a timely manner.France’s food banks are of course thrilled about the possibility of receiving extra food. Jacques Bailet, who heads a network of French food banks called the Banques Alimentaires, says that of the 110,000 tons of goods received annually, only 36,000 tons comes from supermarkets. Bailet estimates (估计) that just a 15% increase in supermarket donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban, is not done. He now wants to extend the law to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations. These steps are necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in France; an astonishing 67% is thrown away by consumers, with supermarkets and restaurants making up the rest.12. What should stores do with nearly-expired food?A. Throw it away.B. Send it to the hungry.C. Store it in refrigerators.D. Give it away to food banks.13. What does the underlined word “excess” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Extra.B. Cheap.C. Seasonal.D. Returned.14. What might Bailet agree with about the French food banks?A. They have a lot of expired food.B. They will get much benefit from the law.C. Their food is enough for the people in need.D. Their food mainly comes from supermarkets.15. What does Dermabarsh plan to do?A. Build more food banks in France.B. Make the law take effect in more places.C. Organize a campaign to promote this law.D. Raise consumers awareness of waste reduction.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。

It is a camp where you can set your own pace2. What can be learned in Pamlico Sea Base?A. How to tell starboard from star-lord B How to choose camping equipmentC. How to use the stars for directionsD. How to make a boat on your own3 In which camp can kids climb walls inside on winter days?A. Base CampB. Camp RaymondC. Pamlico Sea BaseD. Tahosa High Adventure Base.B“You’ll be blind by the time you’re twenty-five,” a doctor at Children’s Hospital predicted. “Your blood sugars are much too high.” It consumed me. No matter where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.When I was twenty-one, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after my twenty-fifth birthday, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting.Desperate, I enrolled in (注册) a sixteen-week program for the blind and visually impaired (损伤的). I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program.“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind,” my instructor told me. “You can use the Internet, e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.” I t’s amazing! Hope went up for the first time in years. “By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and Powerpoint,” my instructor added.For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaking computer, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock and calculator.4.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The right opportunity.B. Losing my sight in the future.C. Consuming too much sugarD. The children’s hospital.5. What happened when the author was 25 years old?A. He gave up painting.B. He went blind completelyC. He injured one of his eyes.D. He picked up a new hobby6. What brought a turning point to the author?A. A special course.B. A meaningful eventC. An inspiring speech.D. An important interview.7. What does the author intend to tell us?A. No pain, no gain.B. Every man has his price.C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.D. Be optimistic in the face of life’s difficulties.CThese days, I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon, and still look for the Crow’s Nest, a small green obs ervation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds, but which has since been knocked down.The Crow’s Nest was a particularly useful point, because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time. At days end, reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.Twenty-seven years later, the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court, and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished. You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.More than at any other tennis tournament, there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting, the history and the traditions.If they change the price of the fish tacos (鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open, it’s not a story. If they change the price of the straw berries and cream, the signature treat at Wimbledon. It’s time to email your editor using capital letters.The new retractable (可伸缩的) roof was put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had to have a rainy-day story in your notebook because there were no guarantees any matches would be played. Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative. But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.So much has changed, but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit: more a theater than a stadium. Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon, too.8. What did the author do on the Crow’s Nest in the past?A. He made friends with reporters.B. He reported on tennis matches.C. He appreciated the beautiful scenery.D. He exchanged experiences with tennis players.9. What does the author think of the new way of covering Wimbledon?A. It lacks fun.B. It is expensiveC. It is not convenient.D. It is not quick enough10. Why does the author mention strawberries and cream?A. To compare popular foods.B. To introduce the typical treat at Wimbledon.C. To describe people’s craze for traditional dishes.D. To show the traditions of Wimbledon are an attraction.11. What difference does the new roof make?A. Audiences have easier access to a tennis court.B. There’s less fun in watching Wimbledon indoors.C. Reporters are struggling to find original material.D. rainy-day stories about Wimbledon have become history.DOn January 13, 2016, France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate food that is approaching its expiration date (保质期) instead of throwing it away. The regulation that applies to supermarkets over 4,000 square feet requires stores to sign official donation agreements with local food banks.The law also makes it illegal for stores to pour water over nearly-expired food, or store it inside locked warehouses until it is picked up by the garbage trucks. These measures are often undertaken by supermarkets to prevent the hungry from searching for food through the dustbins. Though that may appear cruel, the stores claim they do it to avoid potential food poisoning that could occur if the product is on its way past its expiry. Those who do not obey the new law face the risk of heavy fines.Also, excess goods like yogurt or milk that are likely to go bad quickly are now allowed to be donated directly to the food banks. Though this has always been possible, the current process is long and complex, making it difficult for producers to give away the food in a timely manner. France’s food banks are of course thrilled about the possibility of receiving extra food. Jacques Bailet, who heads a network of French food banks called the Banques Alimentaires, says that of the 110,000 tons of goods received annually, only 36,000 tons comes from supermarkets. Bailet estimates (估计) that just a 15% increase in supermarket donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban, is not done. He now wants to extend the law to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations. These steps are necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in France; an astonishing 67% is thrown away by consumers, with supermarkets and restaurants making up the rest.12. What should stores do with nearly-expired food?A. Throw it away.B. Send it to the hungry.C. Store it in refrigerators.D. Give it away to food banks.13. What does the underlined word “excess” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Extra.B. Cheap.C. Seasonal.D. Returned.14. What might Bailet agree with about the French food banks?A. They have a lot of expired food.B. They will get much benefit from the law.C. Their food is enough for the people in need.D. Their food mainly comes from supermarkets.15. What does Dermabarsh plan to do?A. Build more food banks in France.B. Make the law take effect in more places.C. Organize a campaign to promote this law.D. Raise consumers awareness of waste reduction.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。

The air was cool and bullfrogscroaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed hereyes and looked around."Hello?〞she called. "Celia? Marie?"There was no response.The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it“ Forgotten Is no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forestrangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was asecret between the three friends - her, Celia, and Marie.But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault."Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat, "Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was ahopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal tookthe usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave.So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. Asthe first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here by herself.She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill ( 寒意 ) down her back.Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad,who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worriedexpressions on their faces turned to relief.In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fastthe water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly at Marie'sdad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.24.What can be inferred about the island?A. It is very near the ocean.C. It is surrounded by thick forest.25.Why did Lina get angry?A. Marie would not help row the boat.C. Marie didn't know how to row the boat.26.What caused Lina to feel a chill?B. It is a popular place for boating.D. It has never been reached by others.B. Lina was left alone on the island.D. Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.A. Her shame about the unnecessary argument.B. The first raindrops of the approaching storm.C. The idea that no one would come to save her.D. The drop in temperature as the sun went down.27. Who pulled Lina out of the water?A. Marie's father.B. Lina herself.C. Marie.D. Celia.CTourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality (VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking lifeis spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as "mind wandering". During these events we're not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we're recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feeling.While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities,and even to walk among dinosaurs.Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.28.What is driving the development of virtual tourism?A. Companies seeking to make more money.B. Improvements in virtual reality technology.C. People's demand for more shared experiences.D. People's deeper understanding of the physical world.29.Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"?A. The brain processes which help people think VR is real.B. The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.C. Brain activities focusing on past or future events.D. Experiences coming from a person's imagination.30.What does the underlined word“ it〞in the last paragraph refer to?A. Science fiction.B. Virtual technology.C. Virtual tourism.D. The real world.31.What is the purpose pf the passage?A. To describe the advantages of VR tourism.B. To give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.C. To encourage people to develop VR technology.D. To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.DBoth honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says, "Ants aren't smart. Ant colonies are." The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and antshave similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a "dance". Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of "sameness" and "difference" to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants. They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach themthe route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as the may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.32.What do ants and bees have in common?A. They live in similar-sized colonies.B. They make use of collective intelligence.C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.D. They use the same methods to communicate with each other.33.What does the speed of a bee's dance indicate?A. The quality of a new colony location.B. The distance to a neighboring colony.C. The discovery of a new food source.D. The direction to a potential food source.34.In paragraph 3, how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning ?A. By using statistics.B. By explaining reasons.C. By referencing opinions.D. By presenting study findings.35. What is the benefit of collective intelligence?A. It allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly.B. It improves work cooperation within the colony.C. It reduces the division of labour among members.D. It enables individuals to teach each other new skills.第二节 (共 5 小题；每题 2 分，总分值 10 分)依照短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

These measures are often undertaen by supermarets to prevent the hungry from searching for food through the dustbins.Though that may appear cruel, the stores claim they do it to avoid potential food poisoning that could occur if the product is on its way past its epiry.

He now wants to etend the law to other places lie restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations.

No matter where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.When I was twenty-one, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after my twenty-fifth birthday, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting.Desperate, I enrolled in (注册) a sixteen-week program for the blind and visually impaired (损伤的). I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program.“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind,” my instructor told me. “You can use the Internet, e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.” I t’s amazing! Hope we nt up for the first time in years. “By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and Powerpoint,” my instructor added.For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens.

In addition to treating thecloselyto plan also doctors their oxygen, of lack and nutrition inadequate loss, fluid body potential for boys monitor them for symptoms of diseases that may have been infected by animals living in the cave. “The next step is to make sure those kids and their families are safe, because living in a cave provides adifferent environment, which might contain animals that could transmit…disease,”said the local hospital. The boysand their family members have been told to watch for symptoms such as headache, nausea(反胃), muscle pain ordifficulty breathing, the reports added.Yet based on the location where the boys were trapped—more than four kilometers from the cave complex'smain entrance, past some fully submerged passages—and the fact they have been swimming out wearing full scubaface masks, it seems unlikely that they were living with bats in the cave or breathed in bat-associated bacteriaduring their rescue, several infectious disease experts said. “It's hard to imagine bats got that deep into the cavebecause of all those narrow passageways, but it is possible,”says Ian Lipkin, an animal expert and professor at theMailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. “It's unlikely that there would be many animals inthere,”notes Jonathan Epstein, a doctor at EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit organization that studies diseases andhow to prevent them. Bats typically like to rest in areas they can easily enter and exit, not in places that fully flood,he adds.Bats in Thailand have been linked with a wide range of viruses that are similar to severe acute respiratorysyndrome (SARS)—Lipkin says. But it seems more likely the boys would have been exposed to infection-causingbacteria when they swam through the dirty water with cuts and scrapes. “If you are trying to prioritize issues withrespect to health care for these kids, number one would be psychological damage and second will be bacterialinfections from the cuts and scrapes they may have encountered.”Lipkin says.4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the potential symptom of the rescued team members?A. Lacking body waterB. Unbalanced nutritionD. Adequate oxygenC. Pain in the head and muscles5. The underlined word “submerged”in paragraph 3 means ____________.A. under the waterB. wild and dangerousD. bat-associatedC. with animals6. Which is true about the caves and the trapped people?A. Jonathan Epstein thought it possible for the team members to be attacked by bats in thefully-flooded cave.B. Lipkin argued bats were not able to get deep into the narrow cave where the kids were trapped.C. Lipkin said the victims might be infected when their body were exposed to bacterial water duringthe rescue.D. Lipkin believed the most important issue for the cave-trapped teenagers was infectious bacteria examination.7. What is the text type of the passage?A. An academic essay about bats.B. A newspaper article.D. A Thai website about sports.C. A medical magazine.CSo many of us hold on to little resentments that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, orsome other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only waywe can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn't very good, recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son inalmost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speakto him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted initially and said,“I can't do that. He's the one who should apologize.”She was literally willing to die before reaching out to her onlyson. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement,her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case whensomeone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff”into really “big stuff”in our minds. We start tobelieve that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peacefulperson you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy.The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong.Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You'll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right,”they will become less defensive and moreloving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You'll have theinner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you'll bemore peaceful yourself.8. The underlined word “rekindle”in Paragraph 1 probably means “____________”.A. recoverB. developC. acceptD. replace9. According to the passage, the author's friend never spoke to her son for three years because____________.A. she had got an argument with her daughter-in-lawB. she had disagreed about her son's marriageC. she had got an argument about her daughter-in-lawD. she had disliked her son's wife for many years10. Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to be unwilling to apologize first?A. People believe that they are always right.B. People always wait for others to offer an apology first.C. People consider the position more important than happiness.D. People want to get an inner satisfaction.11. The purpose of the passage is to ____________.A. instruct the readers how to apologizeB. teach the readers how to gain inner peaceC. inform the readers the importance of being forgivingD. tell the readers to reach out first when there are painful events.DA new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, evenremove world economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in theWest and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labsall over theglobe—and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazingproperty unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity (超导体技术).Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of theelectrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. Theycould free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost ofelectricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannot—theydo away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy storage are great.The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenonoccurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named HeikeKamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银) to temperatures below -269℃with liquid helium (氦). Then inJanuary last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed℃) that superconducted at -243瓷．at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of expertswho spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助产士) to a new technology.____________. 12. As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivityA. has already been developedB. is still under developmentC. will be used only in specialized equipmentD. will be used in daily lives in a few years____________. 13. The new technology differs from the others in thatA. it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the worldB. it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the worldC. it is being cultivated in research labs around the worldD. it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich____________. 14. From the passage, we may conclude thatA. Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new technologyB. Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 yearsC. IBM scientists' report receive immediate attention all over the worldD. the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Prospect of a New TechnologyB. Superconductivity: A New TechnologyC. A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our LivesD. A New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries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。
