Rob's surprise，quite a few people answered his advertisement．He had interviewed and selected Eric，a 24﹣year﹣old restaurant worker，and Para，a 24﹣year﹣old chemist．The plan was for them to spend seven

they have maintained a Body Mass Index （BMI）of at least 18.5for three months before a fashion show．That means a woman who is 68inches tall can weigh no less than 119pounds．"This law is another step in the war against eating disorders，"said physician Adatto．"Underweight models，"he explained，"can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny．"But some critics in this country say it is misguided，focusing on weight instead of health．They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry．"I think it's an approach that isn't going to work．"said eating disorder expert Susan Ice，who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models．But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized．He said．"I realized that only legislation（立法）can change the situation．There was no time to waste；so many girls were dieting to death．"However，the efforts to regulate models'weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health．Still，folks including Ice say there's no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with．"Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders，but it makes it harder，"she says．"It's a difficult recovery environment，worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal．"64．One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is．A．to change the working conditions of modelsB．to lower the chance of skinny models'deathC．to provide guidance for women worshiping thinnessD．to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders65．In the opinion of the critics，the law won't succeed because．A．it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit．B．it doesn't provide a proper approach that can work well．C．it doesn't create a healthy working environment for models．D．the fashion industry is much too influential．66．What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation？A．Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model．B．Establishing his fashion model agent．C．Being interviewed by a reporter．D．Seeing a model die from eating disorders．67．（8分）In face of global warming，much effort has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies．But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less﹣polluting energy alternatives，it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs．In the meantime，the amount of CO2in the air is rapidly approaching the limits proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC）．"As long as we're consuming fossil fuels，we're putting out CO2，"says Klaus Lackner，a geophysicist at Columbia University，"We cannot let the CO2 in the atmosphere rise indefinitely．"That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2，which the IPCC says could provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions needed to reduce global warming．"We see the potential for capture and storage to play an integral （基本的）role in reducing emissions，"says Kim Corley，Shell's senior advisor of CO2 and environmental affairs．That forward thinking strategy is gaining support．The U．S．Department of Energy recently proposed putting 1billionintoanew2.4billion coal ﹣burning energy plant．The plant's carbon﹣capture technologies would serve as a pilot project for other new coal﹣burning plants．But what do you do with the gas once you've captured it？One option is to put it to new uses．Dakota Gasification of North Dakota captures CO2 at a plant that converts （转换）coal into synthetic（合成的）natural gas．It then ships the gas 200miles by pipeline to Canada，where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations．In the Netherlands，Shell delivers CO2 to farmers who pipe it into their greenhouses，increasing their production of fruits and vegetables．However，scientists say that the scale of CO2 emissions will require vast amounts of long﹣term storage．Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean，Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline （盐的）formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world．67．What does the author intend to tell readers？A．How to find more oil and natural gases．B．How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions．C．How to deal with the greenhouse gas creatively．D．How to make good use of solar and wind energy．68．According to the passage，the following statements are true EXCEPT

AHe lived his whole life as a poor man. His art and talent were r ecognized by almost no one. He suffered from a mental illnes s that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later. But after his death, he achieved worl d fame. Today, Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh is recognized a s one of the leading artists of all time.Now, 150 years after his birth on March 30, 1853, Zundert , the town of his birth, has made 2003 “The van Gogh Year” in his honor. And the van Gogh Museum in , home to the bigge st collection of his masterpieces, is marking the anniversary w ith exhibitions throughout the year. The museum draws aroun d 1.3 million visitors every year. Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life. Others are first interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art.Van Gogh was the son of a pastor(牧师). He left school when he was just 15. By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher. Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art.Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotions i nto his paintings and show his feelings about a scene. His styl e is marked by short, broad brush strokes(笔画).“Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use color more freely, in order to express myself m ore forcibly,” he wrote in a letter to his brother in 1888.Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life. He r elied heavily on the support from his brother, an art dealer wh o lived in . But now his works are sold for millions of dollars. H is portrait of Dr. Gacher sold for $89.5 million in 1990. It is the highest price ever paid for a painting. “I think his paintings are powerful and the brilliant colors in them are attractive to peop le,” said a Van Gogh’s fan.1. All through his life, Van Gogh .A. depended on his brotherB. worked hard on art studiesC. was not recognized by peopleD. expressed himself in pai ntings2.Van Gogh killed himself because of .A. the poor lifeB. his illnessC. his pain from left earD. the objections from the artists of hi s time3.One of the characteristics of Van Gogh’s paintings is .A. the likeness between his paintings and the realityB. the short time for him to complete a paintingC. the various styles mixed togetherD. the special strokes he made4.We can infer from the passage that .A. his powerful art came from his poor lifeB. his fellow townsmen regret treating him unfairlyC. all his paintings were drawn in the last 10 years of his lifeD. most of his paintings are kept in the museum of his homet ownBIndia now accounts for (占据)17.5% of the world’s population - India’s population has gr own by more than 181 million people over the past decade to 1.21 billion, according to the 2011 census (人口普查)result.The figure shows India’s large population is growing fast— 181 million is only slightly lower than the entire population of . But the speed of growth has slowed — from 21. 5% in the last ten years to 17.6% now.More people now live in India than in the United States, I ndonesia, Brazil, Pakistan and combined.India is on course to overtake as the world’s most populous n ation by 2030, but its growth rate is falling, figures show. The census also shows a continuing preference for boys —India’s sex ratio (比例)is at its worst since the country was founded in 1947.Statistics show fewer girls than boys are being born or sur viving. The gender imbalance has widened every ten years si nce 1947. According to the 2011 census, there were 914 girls for every 1,000 boys under the age of six.“This is a serious problem,” Census Commissioner C. Chan dramauli told a press conference in the capital, . Government officials said they would review all their policies towards it, whi ch they admitted were failing. The male population has grown by 17.19% to reach 623.7 million while the female population has risen by 18.12% to reach 586.5 million.Uttar Pradesh, the census shows, is the most populous st ate with 199 million people and Lakshadweep the least popul ated at 64,429.There is good news in the field of education. The literacy rate (识字率)has gone up from about 65% in 2001 to 74% in 2011.India started the 2011 census in April last year and its cen sus is carried out every 10 years.5.

New Delhi has a larger population than Uttar PradeshC. Brazil’s population is lower than 181 millionD. India will have a larger population than China in ten years8.In which section of a magazine could this passage be found ?A. Travel & Custom.B. World & Population.C. Education & Development.D. Economy & EnvironmentCPerhaps one of the most outstanding things about South Afr ican culture is that it is not one single culture, but rather a range of different cultures, making South Africa one of the most c ulturally diverse countries in the world.There are a number of cultural attractions in which are de finitely worth visiting. Take, for instance, one of the most famo us ones— , where Nelson Mandela, the first black president o f the country, was once imprisoned ! for his efforts to free his people from oppression. In KwaZulu-Natal you will find that the Zulu culture is still very much alive i n the descendents (后代)of the ancient Zulu king Shaka at Shakaland. Here tribal da nce and song is performed with vigor and you can explore the mysterious world of the Sangoma with much ceremony. In th e Eastern Cape you’ll discover the remains of Saartjie Baartm an—a woman who suffered terrible humiliation at the hands of self -righteous (自以为是的) Europeans and who has become a symbol of female emp owerment (赋权) some 200 years after her death. A visit to the will make y ou learn about some of the oldest rock art in the country, whil e a trip to the different kinds of art galleries and theaters in mo st of the cities and towns is an excellent way to enjoy South A frican art and drama. Music is another part of South African c ulture which exemplifies the range and diversity of this country's culture.Classical music, although European in nature, is enjoyed r egularly at all fresco(壁画) concerts across the country amidst the beauty of large bot anical gardens. Jazz is a favourite in the townships and it has developed and diversified into three distinctive styles: Townsh ip Jazz, Black Jazz, and Marabi. Kwaito is another favourite. Rock and pop are also popular and a number of South African musicians have created sounds which simply cannot be confi ned to a particular music group, but they are very South Africa n in nature. So come and enjoy a hands-on introduction to ’s rainbow of culture!9. This passage mainly tells us the of .A. diversity of peopleB. places of interestC. cultureD. music10. People who want to pay respect to a heroine can go to .A. Robben IslandB. KwaZulu-NatalC. the Eastern CapeD.11. According to the second paragraph, the Zulu culture .A. is disappearingB. has a long historyC. is a mix of many culturesD. is little known to the outside w orld12.How many kinds of jazz are mentioned in the last paragrap h?A.

AWhile beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind off work, lakes surrounded by mountains make for an even grander experience. If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus(高加索).Lake SevanLake Sevan is situated in the central part of Armenia, in the Gegharkunik province. It is the largest lake in Armenia, located 6,200ft above sea level. Along the lake shore, there are various accommodations such as resorts and hotels with plenty of activities to partake in such as windsurfing, swimming and sunbathing. While there, do not forget to visit one of the famous cultural monuments, the Sevanavank Monastery, and it offers a great view of the lake as well.Lake ParavaniLake Paravani, located at 6,801ft above sea level, is in the south of Georgia, near the Javakheti plateau. At this level, altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to be prepared to adapt to it properly, or bring medication for altitude sickness. Being a volcanic lake makes for a more interesting experience. The lake is best known for fishing. Do not come home during the winter months when the lake freezes.Lake CildirLake Cildir is located in the Ardahan province, East Turkey, near the borders of Georgia and Armenia. It is the second largest freshwater lake of Eastern Turkey, and many tourists are notaware of this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus. The lake freezes during late November. If the winter is not extremely cold, you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing.Lake VanLake Van is the must visit of all lakes in this list. The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake here. It’s situated at 5, 380ft above sea level, and unique to lakes around the world, the water is high in salt content. 1．If you want to visit some historic sites during your travel by a lake, you can go to_______ .A. Lake CildirB. Lake ParvaniC. Lake SevanD. Lake Van2．What is special about Lake Van?A. Its water is high in salt.B. It is a volcanic lake.C. It is globally the largest lake.D. It is surrounded by mountains. 3．What challenge are travelers most likely to face while visiting Lake Paravani?A. Lack of medicine.B. V olcano eruptions.C. Altitude sickness.D. Low temperature all the year. 4．Which destinations would be attractive to a fishing lover?A. Lake Sevan and Lake Pa ravani.B. Lake Pravani and Lake Cildir.C. Lake Cildir and Lake Van.D. Lake Sevan and Lake Van.BIt is commonly believed that all over the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys’schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Always boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和……相符) the ＂boy code＂of hiding their emotions to be a ＂real man＂.Surprisingly, the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.George Carl, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teach ers can adjust lessons to boys’learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote thestudy’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with ＂boy-focused＂approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given ＂hands-on＂lessons where they are allowed to walk around. ＂Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes,＂James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be ＂masterful and in charge＂in relationships. ＂In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,＂the study reported. 5．The writer argues that a single-sex school would __________.A. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyB. help boys to be more competitive in schoolsC. force boys to be their emotions to be ＂real men＂D. naturally strengthen boys’traditional image of a man6．Traditionally, in a mixed school boys __________.A. behave more responsiblyB. perform relatively betterC. grow up more healthilyD. receive a better education7．In Abigail James’opinion, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______.A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inB. boys can focus on their lessons without being distractedC. teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics of boysD. teaching can be designed to promote boys’team spirit8．The underlined word ＂acute＂in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______ .A. lovelyB. seriousC. sharpD. dullC＂BANG!＂the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. ＂Never set foot in this house again!＂stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: ＂Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me？＂In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except father’s.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. ＂Am I wrong＂I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all.

He was afraid of his father.D. He was dissatisfied with his father.DScientists are debating how to limit their newly-discovered power to change genetic structure.Scientists already modify the genes of farm animals and agricultural plants to make them more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus. They might also be able to permanently remove species of plants and animals that are destructive to other species.In a report published last week, the U. S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAS) said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are released into the wild.Sixteen biologists, ethicists(伦理学家) and policymakers are on an NAS committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But, they say, there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms (生物体) from the laboratory into nature.Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction(繁殖).Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a country’s borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet.12．What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have?A. Changing the Zika virus permanently.B. Removing the destructive sp ecies for ever.C. Having changed genes in their next generations.D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.13．As for genetically changed wild animals and plants ,what are scientists worried about?A. They may become weaker or die out.B. They may be more productive.C. They may cause damage to their living habitat.D. Their genes may spread to later generations.14．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Scientists are not sure what exact results gene modification leads to.B. Scientists won’t modify any genes before they make the final decision.C. Gene modification has benefited some farm animals and agricultural plants.D. Scientists have not applied gene modification to wild animals and plants in case of possible danger.15．What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stop research on gene controlB. How to change genetic structureC. Power and danger of gene controlD. Advantages of gene control in wild animals and plants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 chest pain and he was rushed to hospital．Then he went into a sound sleep．But what happened after that？He could suddenly see his living room filled with people…all in tears，his mom，his wife and his

friends is commonB．we need to see a doctor when having a chest painC．getting along well with friends is importantD．we should tell our family how much we love them．16．The use of word imitation（模仿） reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime or violence．First here was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous．For example，I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree； fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged．I remember a film I particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting（通电触死） his guard，the technique of doing this being shown in detail．This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons．In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques，such a show to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe； if we were consulted before production，I used to advise that the details should not be shown．When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this，since fathers who were in prison for criminal offencesdid not want their children to get on crime．Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi made by Jules Dassin in 1954．This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweler's shop，the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound…one of the most brilliant film sequences（连续镜头） of all time．I remember our discussion at the time．We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it； we believed therefore that it was relatively safe．When talking in prison some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied，so perhaps we were wrong．16．The writer thinks that ．A．the details of the criminal technique should be keptB．the details of the crime should not be shown on the screenC．children should not imitate what they see on the screenD．it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen17．What is the writer's attitude towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard？A．The writer likes it very much．B．The writer is strongly against it．C．The writer thinks the film has some value．D．The writer does not show his/her attitude．18．Parents in prison agreed to film checking because ．A．they did not want their children to follow themB．the crime on screen could be imitated without difficultyC．they had given a talk on itD．they had made mistakes19．All the following statements about"Rififi"are true EXCEPT ．A．that the robbery shown needs experience and skillsB．that some very good tools were used in the robberyC．that the film showed the technique in detailD．that the technique of the robbery was not imitated20．It can be inferred from the passage that ．A．it is hard for children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary B．only people in prison support film checkingC．only children imitate what they have seen on the screenD．the writer used to advise the details of crime should be shown．第二部分英语知识运用（共两节；满分20分）第1节完形填空（共1小题；每小题20分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．21．Howardwalked across the vast desert planning to walk through it for one month．Twenty （21）passed，the

escaped by electrocuting（通电触死） his guard，the technique of doing this being shown in detail．This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons．In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques，such a show to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe； if we were consulted before production，I used to advise that the details should not be shown．When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this，since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime．Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi made by Jules Dassin in 1954．This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweler's shop，the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound…one of the most brilliant film sequences（连续镜头） of all time．Iremember our discussion at the time．We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it； we believed therefore that it was relatively safe．When talking in prison some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied，so perhaps we were wrong．16．The writer thinks that B ．A．the details of the criminal technique should be keptB．the details of the crime should not be shown on the screenC．children should not imitate what they see on the screenD．it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen17．What is the writer's attitude towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard？ BA．The writer likes it very much．B．The writer is strongly against it．C．The writer thinks the film has some value．D．The writer does not show his/her attitude．18．Parents in prison agreed to film checking because A ．A．they did not want their children to follow themB．the crime on screen could be imitated without difficultyC．they had given a talk on itD．they had made mistakes19．All the following statements about"Rififi"are true EXCEPT D ．A．that the robbery shown needs experience and skillsB．that some very good tools were used in the robberyC．that the film showed the technique in detailD．that the technique of the robbery was not imitated20．It can be inferred from the passage that A ．A．it is hard for children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginaryB．only people in prison support film checkingC．only children imitate what they have seen on the screenD．the writer used to advise the details of crime should be shown．【考点】OB：人生感悟类阅读．【分析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了作者认为犯罪的细节不应显示在屏幕上，以免对孩子产生不良影响．【解答】16．B．细节理解题．根据第二段 if we were consulted before production，I used to advise that the details should not be shown可知作者认为犯罪的细节不应显示在屏幕上；故选B．32．B．推理判断题．根据第一段fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged．I remember a film I particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting（通电触死） his guard可知作者一直反对在影视作品中描述犯罪细节，以免对孩子产生不良影响；故选B．18．A．细节理解题．根据第二段When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this，since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime可知监狱里的父母同意检查电影，因为不想让他们的孩子跟着他们学坏；故选A．19．D．细节理解题．根据最后一段When talking in prison some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied，so perhaps we were wrong可知这种技术也是可以模仿的；故选D．20．A．推理判断题．根据第一段First here was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous可知让孩子们理解现实生活与想象之间的差异，这是很难的，故选A．第二部分英语知识运用（共两节；满分20分）第1节完形填空（共1小题；每小题20分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．21．Howardwalked across the vast desert planning to walk through it for

boy pick up the things．Since they were going the same way，he offered to carry some things for the boy．As they walked，Mark discovered the boy's name was Bill．He loved video games，baseball and history，but he was having trouble with some of his subjects．They arrived at Bill's home first．Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television．The afternoon passed pleasantly with some laughs and talk．Then Mark went home．They continued to see each other around school，had lunch together once or twice，then both graduated from junior school．Three days before graduation，Bill asked Mark if they could talk．Bill reminded Mark of the day years ago when they had first met．"Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day？"asked Bill．"You see，I took away all my things from school．I had stored away some of my mother's sleeping pills．I was going home to kill myself．But after we spent some time talking and laughing，I realized that if I had died，I would have missed so

rubbed his eyes and saw a gain…Yes，it was his name in the obituary（讣告）!He threw the paper in the bin and screamed．Richard started to recollect．He remembered that last night when he went to bed he had a chest pain and he was rushed to hospital．Then he went into a sound sleep．But what happened after that？He could suddenly see his living room filled with people…all in tears，his mom，his wife and his

to see a doctor when having a chest painC．getting along well with friends is importantD．we should tell our family how much we love them．16．The use of word imitation（模仿）reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime or violence．First here was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous．For example，I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree；fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged．I remember a film I particular in which the hero who was

adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques，such a show to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe；if we were consulted before production，I used to advise that the details should not be shown．When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this，since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime．Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi made by Jules Dassin in 1954．This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweler's shop，the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound…one of the most brilliant film sequences（连续镜头）of all time．I remember our discussion at the time．We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it；we believed therefore that it was relatively safe．When talking in prison some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied，so perhaps we were wrong．16．The writer thinks that．A．the details of the criminal technique should be keptB．the details of the crime should not be shown on the screenC．children should not imitate what they see on the screenD．it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen17．What is the writer's attitude towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard？A．The writer likes it very much．B．The writer is strongly against it．C．The writer thinks the film has some value．D．The writer does not show his/her attitude．18．Parents in prison agreed to film checking because．A．they did not want their children to follow themB．the crime on screen could be imitated without difficultyC．they had given a talk on itD．they had made mistakes19．All the following statements about"Rififi"are true EXCEPT．A．that the robbery shown needs experience and skillsB．that some very good tools were used in the robberyC．that the film showed the technique in detailD．that the technique of the robbery was not imitated20．It can be inferred from the passage that．A．it is hard for children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary B．only people in prison support film checkingC．only children

on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime or violence．First here was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous．For example，I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree；fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged．I remember a film I particularin which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting（通电触死）his guard，the technique of doing this being shown in detail．This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons．In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques，such a show to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe；if we were consulted before production，I used to advise that the details should not be shown．When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this，since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime．Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi made by Jules Dassin in 1954．This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweler's shop，the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound…one of the most brilliant film sequences（连续镜头）of all time．I remember our discussion at the time．We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it；we believed therefore that it was relatively safe．When talking in prison some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied，so perhaps we were wrong．16．The writer thinks that B．A．the details of the criminal technique should be keptB．the details of the crime should not be shown on the screenC．children should not imitate what they see on the screenD．it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen17．What is the writer's attitude towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard？BA．The writer likes it very much．B．The writer is strongly against it．C．The writer thinks the film has some value．D．The writer does not show his/her attitude．18．Parents in prison agreed to film checking because A．A．they did not want their children to follow themB．the crime on screen could be imitated without difficultyC．they had given a talk on itD．they had made mistakes19．All the following statements about"Rififi"are true EXCEPT D．A．that the robbery shown needs experience and skillsB．that some very good tools were used in the robberyC．that the film showed the technique in detailD．that the technique of the robbery was not imitated20．It can be inferred from the passage that A．A．it is hard for children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary B．only people in prison support film checkingC．only children imitate what they have seen on the screenD．the writer used to advise the details of crime should be shown．【考点】OB：人生感悟类阅读．【分析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了作者认为犯罪的细节不应显示在屏幕上，以免对孩子产生不良影响．【解答】16．B．细节理解题．根据第二段if we were consulted before production，I used to advise that the details should not be shown可知作者认为犯罪的细节不应显示在屏幕上；故选B．32．B．推理判断题．根据第一段fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged．I remember a film I particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting（通电触死）his guard可知作者一直反对在影视作品中描述犯罪细节，以免对孩子产生不良影响；故选B．18．A．细节理解题．根据第二段When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this，since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences didnot want their children to get on crime可知监狱里的父母同意检查电影，因为不想让他们的孩子跟着他们学坏；故选A．19．D．细节理解题．根据最后一段When talking in prison some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied，so perhaps we were wrong可知这种技术也是可以模仿的；故选D．20．A．推理判断题．根据第一段First here was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous可知让孩子们理解现实生活与想象之间的差异，这是很难的，故选A．第二部分英语知识运用（共两节；满分20分）第1节完形填空（共1小题；每小题20分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．21．Howardwalked

The poor man always sat there, looking at the big hotel in which the rich man lived. One day the rich man got out of his car and said to the poor man, “Excuse me, but I just want to know why you sit here and look at my hotel every morning.”“Sir,” said the poor man, “I am a failure. I have no money, no family, no home. I sleep on this bench, and every night I dream that one day I’ll sleep in that hotel.” The rich man said, “That is not so hard. Tonight your dream will come true. I’ll pay for the best room in that hotel for you for a whole month.”A few days later, the rich man went by the poor man’s room toask him how he was enjoying himself.

at her old high school other than the green color on the walls．Akinosun won her medal with the 400﹣meter relay team at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this summer．Her return to her high school recently included a chance for the young woman to tell what she's learned since running track for Wsubonsie more than fours year ago．Her first piece of advice to the crowd of students was asking them to listen to their parents．"They see things you can't see，"she said．"In high school I thought I was on the top of the world．"In Akinosun's case，her parents encouraged her to consider going to the University of Illinois，which at the time had a team that was coached by Olympic medal winner Tonja Buford﹣Bailey．"I wouldn't be where I am today without my parents，"she said．Her parents saw Buford﹣Bailey as a good fit to coach their daughter，somethingAkinosun said she didn't understand at the time．It didn't take long，however，for her to see they were right and she ended up following Buford﹣Bailey to the University of Texas at Austin when the coach took a job there．Akinosun admitted it was three years before she told her parents they were right．Becoming an excellent athlete who can take part in the Olympics needs serious dedication．She says her success came from viewing herself as an athlete﹣student instead of a student﹣athlete．"I always put track and field first，and then comes school，"Akinosun said．A social life comes last．"It's about sacrifices（牺牲）．You can't be on the track team unless you're chosen，"she added．Making athletics the most important thing in her life meant committing fully，no matter how she might feel on a given day．"I never missed a training session （环节）in my four years in college，"she said．"It's my job；it's what I do．Think about that when you want to sleep in．"21．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Akinosun according to the article？A．She was a big fan of Buford﹣Bailey in high school．B．She make up her mind to win Olympic medals in high school．C．She still doesn't want to admit that her parents helped her a lot．D．She is thankful to her parents for finding her the right coach．22．According to Akinosun，she became a successful athlete because．A．she had great confidence in herself．B．she always put training before anything else．C．she was pushed by her coach to train hard．D．she could keep a good balance between school and training．23．The underlined word"dedication"in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to．A．committing fullyB．knowing oneselfC．a clear purposeD．a strong desire24．What's the best title of the passage？A．How Akinosun spent her high school years．B．The story of Akinosun's success．C．Being an athlete is not easy．D．Akinosun's advice to her schoolmates．25．（6分）Getting ripped off from time to time is just part of traveling﹣﹣﹣don't let it ruin your day or your overall experience．But there are things you can do to avoid some of the most common rip﹣offs．Let me share my travel tips for how to avoid hidden fees，disappointed experiences and overpriced items．Baggage FeesDepending upon the airline，you can pay 15to75for the first checked bag，and more for overweight bags．When possible，pack a bag lightly enough to a carry﹣on or fly airlines that still allow free checked bags（two bags for Southwest and one for JetBlue）．Many airline programs allow members with a high status to have a free checked bag，so check your status．Overpriced Hotel and Airport FoodTo avoid the overpriced water sold at airports，bring an empty water bottle with you through security at the airport．Then，fill it up at a water fountain or ask a waiter at a coffee shop to fill it up for you．Pick up some snacks at a local corner store instead of hitting the hotel room mini bar，which can lead to expensive surprises on your final bill．Tourist Trap RestaurantsIf you're visiting a restaurant or attraction that has online presence，Google it or search it on Yelp to see what the locals say about it and to find any available coupons （优惠券）that might get some extra savings．Often restaurants run deals on Yelp where if you"check in"at that restaurant and review it，you get a free dessert or 15%off the total bill，etc．By researching online，you'll not only see whether there are any coupons or extra savings available，but people will tell you if the chef changed a month ago and the food is awful now．25．To have a free checked bag，you shall not．A．take a light carry﹣onB．have a high statusC．take overweight bagsD．choose Southwest Airlines26．If you want to drink free water at an airport，you can．A．take a bottle of water through securityB．go to a water fountainC．go to a store at the airportD．order a coffee at a coffee shop27．The passage is probably written by．A．a travel agentB．an economical personC．an experienced travelerD．a skilled net﹣worker．28．（8分）When The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the 2016Nobel Prize in literature on Oct.6，it said："Not Bob Dylan．That's for sure．" But the award came as a surprise to many．On Oct 13，the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish Academy．He has"created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition"，according to the organization．Although Dylan，75，is not really thought to be a literary writer，he has given the world a lot of creative works over 50years，especially when it comes to his folk songs．In his 1985album Biograph，Dylan wrote about the appeal of folk music to him．Rocksongs"weren't serious enough or didn't reflect life in a realistic way"，according to Dylan．But folk，was"a more serious type of thing．The songs are filled with more sadness，more joy…much deeper feelings．"Dylan's music and lyrics（抒情诗）spoke to many people during the 1960s．His lyrics were often about great political issues，such as the civil rights movement．The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard．The idea is most famously expressed in Dylan's The Times They Are a﹣Changin'（1964），which warns the world，"You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone．For the times they are a﹣changin'!"There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer．But ancient"Greek poets Homer ND Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to，that were meant to be performed，often with instruments and it's the same way with Dylan"，the Swedish Academy's permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN．It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition．The millions whose lives Dylan's words and music have changed will surely welcome the award．28．Dylan found folk music attractive because．A．It brought joy to people．B．It could be used to express feelings freely．C．It reflected life on a much deeper level．D．It needed more creativity than other types of music．29．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to the article？A．He never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize．B．Most of his influential works were created in the 1960s．C．His songs expressed people's feelings well during the 1960s．D．His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements．30．According to the last two paragraphs，．A．lyrics can be seen as a literary form．B．a literary prize should not be given to a singer．C．Dylan's works were inspired by Greek poets．D．Dylan deserves the award because he influenced many song﹣writers．31．What's the author's attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature？A．supportiveB．objectiveC．doubtfulD．negative．32．（8分）Internet data shows that younger adults have become the main audience crazy about changing their appearance．Once the world of the female in her fifties，plastic surgery（整形手术）has become the focus of the younger Internet users．The recent death of Stephanie Kuleba，an 18﹣year﹣old high school cheerleader who died as a result of plastic surgery，brought our attention to the fashion of becoming a more"ideal"body among teenagers．In fact，search data confirms this phenomenon．One of the most popular sites visited from the search term"plastic surgery"is the official site of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons （www．plastic surgery．org）．Over 25% of the visitors，which is up from 19.6% two years ago，fell within the 18to 24years old．Plastic surgery has become an American obsession （痴迷）．Checking other countries，such as the UK and Australia，the 18to 24﹣year﹣old's being interested in plastic surgery is an obvious US phenomenon．Unlike the other groups who visit sites related to diseases and keeping healthy，younger Internet users rush to sites that deal with personal appearance，such as those focused on body﹣building，weight loss and skin﹣care，and obviously plastic surgery．While television on surgery may be driving the interest of a younger audience，one factor appears to be a key in preventing such teens from changing their bodies：the failing U．S．economy．There has been a decline in all plastic surgery topics over thelast year．While older age continue to search for information on procedures such as liposuction（抽脂），it's younger Internet users who in tough economic times are focusing on improving their outer beauty，though at a discount price．32．Why does the author mention the death of the 18﹣year﹣old cheerleader？A．To show cheerleaders pay more attention to their appearance．B．To warn people that plastic surgery is not as safe as it is said to be．C．To prove the fact that people will pursue beauty at any cost．D．To draw attention to the issue of young people having plastic surgery．33．While young people are surfing on the Internet，they are very interested in．A．how to be physically and mentally healthy．B．how to make themselves look young．C．how to prevent and cure diseases．D．how to have more attractive appearance．34．What may affect young people's decision on whether to have plastic surgery？A．The safety of the operationB．The total expense of the surgery．C．The need for having the operation．D．The results of the surgery．35．What can we learn from the last paragraph？A．Americans，old or young，are crazy about plastic surgery．B．Liposuction is the most expensive plastic surgery．C．Outer beauty means more to young people than inner beauty．D．Young people often get discount when having plastic surgery．36．（10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能放入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．Exercise is very important when it comes to dropping pounds．So if you're eager to lose weight，then here are three everyday changes that will help increase your calorieburn．Hello Sunshine（36）．Research shows that people who exercise in the morning work harder and for longer periods，which may be because they're clearer in thinking and more energetic and they don't feel as rushed as afternoon or evening exercisers．（37），which will help even more with your weigh﹣loss journey．（38）When it comes to

push﹣ups on the bathroom counter and kick your legs while brushing your teeth．You can also work your body by carrying a basket instead of pushing a cart，using the stairs whenever possible and sitting on an exercise ball instead of a chair．A．Getting into a morning routine will also help you stick with itB．Run instead of walkingC．Muscles exercise is the key to weight﹣lossD．And don't stick to a

old high school other than the green color on the walls．Akinosun won her medal with the 400﹣meter relay team at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this summer．Her return to her high school recently included a chance for the young woman to tell what she's learned since running track for Wsubonsiemore than fours year ago．Her first piece of advice to the crowd of students was asking them to listen to their parents．"They see things you can't see，"she said．"In high school I thought I was on the top of the world．"In Akinosun's case，her parents encouraged her to consider going to the University of Illinois，which at the time had a team that was coached by Olympic medal winner Tonja Buford﹣Bailey．"I wouldn't be where I am today without my parents，"she said．Her parents saw Buford﹣Bailey as a good fit to coach their daughter，something Akinosun said she didn't understand at the time．It didn't take long，however，for her to see they were right and she ended up following Buford﹣Bailey to the University of Texas at Austin when the coach took a job there．Akinosun admitted it was three years before she told her parents they were right．Becoming an excellent athlete who can take part in the Olympics needs serious dedication．She says her success came from viewing herself as an athlete﹣student instead of a student﹣athlete．"I always put track and field first，and then comes school，"Akinosun said．A social life comes last．"It's about sacrifices（牺牲）．You can't be on the track team unless you're chosen，"she added．Making athletics the most important thing in her life meant committing fully，no

高二上学期期末英语试题-Word版含答案
2017-2018学年第一学期期末检测高二英语试题卷第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）见小纸第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共10个小题；每小题2分，满分20分）ABob Dylan could hardly have imagined that he would get this kind of special praise for his long career as a musician and songwriter.The Nobel Prize for Literature from the Swedish Academy on October 13 is only the most recent achievement of a man who has long been among the cultural masters of the modern age. He has "created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", according to the academy.Although Dylan, 75, is not really seen as a literary(文学的) writer, he has given the world over 50 years of creative output.In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the attraction of folk music to him. Rock songs "weren't serious enough or didn't reflect life in a realistic way", he explained. Folk music, compared with rock music, was "a more serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness, more joy, more faith in the supernatural, much deeper feelings".Dylan's music and lyrics(歌词) did speak to a generation of people during the 1960s.His lyrics often spoke about great political causes, such as the civil rights movement or the campaign against the war in Vietnam. The 1960s were a time of change, a time when the young were demanding that their voices be heard.Some people were puzzled that a literary prize had been handed to a singer. But poetry and song have long been found together. Greek poet Homer would have sung The Iliad. In the Middle Ages, wandering minstrels(吟游诗人) performed their poems to music just like Dylan does.Far from just being a fashionable move, giving the prize to Dylan can be seen asbringing back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylan's songs have made better - among them poets and novelists and fellow musicians - will surely welcome the award.21. Why could Bob Dylan receive the Nobel Prize for Literature?A. He performed his poems to music.B. He brought back traditional music to life.C. He wrote a large number of poems.D. He developed a poetic way of music expression.22. Which of the following would Bob probably agree with?A. Rock music contains more faith in the supernatural than folk music.B. Folk music and Rock music are both very serious.C. Folk music conveys emotions more strongly than rock music.D. Rock music describes life in a more realistic way than folk music.23. Greek poet Homer is mentioned in the passage to showA. the connection between songs and poemsB. the great influence of Homer's poemsC. the style of poetry in the Middle AgesD. the difference between a poet and a singerBIf you have spent any time living in or visiting a big city in China, you have most likely used the service that Didi provides. The convenient ride-sharing company, now known as Didi Chuxing, was praised last month by Fortune magazine. According to the magazine, it is changing the world with its environmentally friendly solution to getting around in major cities. As the magazine reported: "Didi concluded that last year its car-pooling services helped reduce total car trips in the country by 1 million a day, which saved 500 million liters of gas, cutting 13.5 million tons of carbon emissions(排放) per day." The transport service was the only Chinese company to make the important magazine's list, and itsinfluence can be felt in many parts of Chinese society.Didi is just one example of what is being called the "sharing economy". Thesharing economy is one in which regular people exchange goods and services, usually using an online marketplace. Other similar companies include companies that allow people to rent out their homes to strangers like Airbnb and Couchsurfing, and similar ride sharing services like Uber and Lyft.All of these services are possible partly because many people are realizing that they have underused assets in their lives. Millions of people around the world have started renting them out online to earn extra money. They rent their apartments while they are away for the weekend, lend people their cars for money and even sell their spare time.The sharing economy is the latest example of the Internet's value to customers. This model is now big enough for regulators and companies to have woken up to it. That is a sign of its great potential. It is time to start caring about sharing.24. What does the first paragraph imply?A. Didi Chuxing is helpful to environment.B. Didi Chuxing has solved the traffic jam in China.C. Didi Chuxing can bring down the price of gas.D. Didi Chuxing is the best transport service in China.25. What does the underlined word "assets" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Houses.B. Services.C. Possessions.D. Cars.26. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To explain the benefits of using Didi.B. To introduce the "sharing economy".C. To advertise a new means of transport.D. To stress the importance of online services.CIt happens all the time: during an airport delay, a Korean perhaps starts talking to a man who might be Colombian, and soon they are chatting away in what seems to be English. But the native English speaker sitting beside them cannot understand a word.They don't know they are speaking Globish, the latest addition to the 6,800 languages that are said to be spoken across the world. Not that its inventor, Jean-PaulNerriere, considers it a proper langu age. "It is not a language, it is a tool," he says. “A language is the vehicle of a culture. Globish doesn't want to be that at all. It is a means of communication."The seeds for Globish came about in the 1980s when Nerriere was working for IBM in Paris with colleagues of about 40 nationalities. At a meeting where they were to be addressed by two Americans whose flight had been delayed, they started chatting. Then the Americans arrived and beyond their opening phrases, "Call me Jim," "Call me Bill," no one understood a word. And Jim and Bill, needless to say, did not understand the strange English spoken by others. They all spoke low-quality English. Except Jim and Bill, everyone was speaking Globish though they didn't know it.The main principles of Globish are a vocabulary of only 1,500 words in English, gestures and repetition(重复). One of the interesting things in Globish is that with 1,500 words you can express everything. The target is to reach the point where you will be understood everywhere. The list goes from "able" to "zero." Niece and nephew, for example, are not included, "but you can replace them with the children of my brother," Nerriere says.But a small problem is still waiting for him. The fluent Globish speaker will not be understood by native English speakers. To this question, Nerriere responded confidently, "This is the way to get Americans to learn another language."27. From the first two paragraphs, we can know that——．A. the Korean realizes he is speaking GlobishB. Globish is the working language at airportsC.

Actually change has already begun through climate changes, but mo st humans haven’t noticed this yet. Climate change has begun to influence the world already and will begin to worsen within the next few years. Around 2020 most people will begin to see that the results of climate change will be far more serious than now understood.As the planet is under big geological stresses, which are continuously increasing, it will in the future no longer be able to support its population. Scarcity of resources, over-farming, lack of clean air, not enough clean drinking water and drought are some of the issues that will all play a much greater role in the near future.Humans have caused large ecological devastation. The lifestyles of many people are improving at a fast speed; however, this will finally result in a lack of some precious resources. When this scarcity begins to happen, people will no longer be able to have sustainable lifestyles.It’s important to understand that everyone plays a role in the whole process of life. Each person’s decision can finally affect the future. Thes e decisions, all combined, can have good effect on what the future will be like for humans. So the future depends on the choices we make at the present moment.While more and more people are becoming aware of climate change and other environmental problems related to global warming, not all are fully understanding how far-reaching its effects will be. Unfortunately, most of the humans are aware that the planet isn’t functioning well, but they don’t understand that this is creating a major problem for the future survival of humans.So, every person should make the necessary changes to reduce their influence on the environment and help create a more sustainable future.24.

This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally foundhis way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother's call returned me to the real world .I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my "miraculous"（奇迹般地）experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.28. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to.A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons29.The book caught the author's eye because.A.it reminded him of his own dogB.he found its title easy to understandC.it contained pretty pictures of animalsD.he liked children's stories very much30.Why could the author manage to read the book through?A. He was forced by his mother to read it.B. He identified with the story in the book.C. The book told the story of his pet dog.D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.31.Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. My Passion for ReadingB. Mum's Strict OrderC. Reunion with My BeagleD. The Charm of a BookDNowadays, new technologies continue to emerge. From self-driving cars to carebots (care+robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses. “The next fifteen years wil l see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs --- just changing what people do.” growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of 20 to 40 perso n companies that have the speed and technological know-how(专门技术) will directly challenge big companies,” it states.A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co- author.“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.32.We can infer from the text that in the future _________.A.people will face many difficultiesB.people will take up more creative jobsC.artificial intelligence will threaten people’s livesD.most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces33.According to the report, ________.A.people won’t necessarily lose jobsB.big companies will face fewer challengesC.small companies will win against big companiesD.most people will become interested in technology34.What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?A. MixedB. WorriedC. HopefulD. Doubtful35.Jonathan Grudin’s words in the last paragraph suggest that ________.A.there will be enough jobs for peopleB.things will change a lot in a few yearsC.many people will become unemployedD.technology will totally change future jobs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符合各段大意的最佳选项。
