21．（6分）The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it Some people use the air to live on while they sit around and fed sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent Jife for themselves.Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to “get in” on a “ground floor opportunity”, as if the opportunity will do all the work. That is impossible.Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to make it. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. That is not up to the opportunity. That is up to you. It doesn’t matter what “floor” the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.1、What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．Introduce the topic of the passage.B．Compare air to opportunity.C．Present the relationship between human and air.D．To show the importance of air.2、Which of the following may be used as the tittle of the passage?A．Air and Opportunity B．Seize the OpportunityC．How to Succeed D．Breathe the Fresh Air3、The author wants to advise us to______.A．breathe in the airB．sit around and feel sorryC．be up to the opportunityD．make use of the opportunity and act on immediately22．（8分）Amazon is breaking into physical retail in a new way. The online retail giant revealed a new kind of physical store concept in a video published on Monday.The store, called Amazon Go, doesn't work like a typical Walmart or supermarket. Instead, it's designed so that shoppers will use an app, also called Amazon Go, to automatically add the products that they plan to buy to a digital shopping cart by scanning a QR code(二维码). They can then walk out of the building without waiting in a checkout line because Amazon will charge their Amazon account and send them a receipt.The first Amazon Go store is located in Seattle, where Amazon is headquartered. For years, there have been rumors the e-commerce company would expand its dominance from digital to physical shopping. Amazon began experimenting with physical bookstores a year ago, but Amazon Go may mark its boldest bet on physical ones yet. By removing much of the staff needed to operate a store, Amazon keeps costs lower than traditional competitors. It's also in a strong position to bring together data on its customers' shopping habits online and offline to make better suggestions in all situations.However, Amazon's move deeper into physical retail shops comes in a sensitive political climate. The company could be perceived as being a threat to some of the 3.4 million Americans who work as cashiers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the campaign trail, Donald Trump repeatedly criticized Amazon and its founder Jeff Bezos for “ge tting away with murder tax-wise” and having “a huge antitrust(反垄断) problem.” Will the President& shy; elect add “job killer” to the list of criticisms?Amazon's effort to launch a new kind of retail store predates(在……之前) the rise of Donald Trump. “Four yea rs ago we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no lines and no checkout? Could we push the boundaries of computer vision and machine learning to create a store where customers could simply take what they want and go?” The com pany says on an informational page about Amazon Go. For now, Amazon is starting slow. The Amazon Go is only open to Amazon employees in our Beta program, and is scheduled to open to the public in early 2017. 1、In Amazon Go, people can ________ .A．buy products by paying cashB．buy carts without scanning a QR codeC．have no bother to check out and queueD．use an app to wait in a checkout line2、What can we infer from the third paragraph?A．Amazon has dominated the physical bookstores.B．Amazon can contribute to reducing the cost of staff.C．Amazon manages to take the place of physical shopping.D．Amazon can ignore each customer's advice in all situations.3、The reason why Donald Trump repeatedly criticized Amazon Go is that Amazon Go ________ .A．would result in a political crisisB．would threaten the career of cashiersC．may result in a huge antitrustD．is No.1 job killer in the list of criticisms4、The main purpose of writing the passage is ________ .A．to introduce the Amazon Go storeB．to explain how Amazon Go worksC．to arouse people's interest in AmazonD．to indicate Trump's attitude to Amazon23．（8分）“OK，'I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. "What's going on with you and your friend J. ？”J. is the leader of a group of third-graders at her camp-a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer? Now. she's the one on the outs and every day at snack time，she tells me all about it，while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long.“She's fond of giving orders," Lucy complained. "She's turning everyone against me. She's mean. And she's fat. "“Excuse me，”I said，struggling for calm. "What did you just say？” “She's fat. ”Lucy mumbled（含糊地说）. ”We're going upstairs，” I said，my voice cold. "We're going to discuss this. "And up we went. I'd spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day，the day we'd have the conversation about this horrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing （取笑），but in all of my imaginings（想象的情况），it never once occurred to me that mydaughter would be the one who used the F word-Fat.My daughter sat on her bed，and I sat beside her. "How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasn't your fault？” I began. "She could stop eating so much，" Lucy mumbled，mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors have given overweight women for years.“it's not always that easy，”I said. "Everyone's different in terms of how they treat food.” Lucy looked at me，waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth，and then closed it. Should I tell her that，in teasing a woman's weight，she's joined the long tradition of critics Should I tell her I didn't cry when someone posted my picture and commented，"I'm sorry，but aren't authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty？”Does she need to know，now，that life isn't fair？I feel her eyes on me，waiting for an answer I don't have. Words are my tools. Stories are my job. It's possible she'll remember what I say forever，and I have no idea what to say.So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true. I say to my daughter, “I love you，and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you. But I'm disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. What she looks like isn't one of them. ”Lucy nods，tears on her cheeks. "I won't say that again，"she tells me，and I pull her close，pressing my nose against her hair. As we sit there together，I pray for her to be smart and strong. I pray for her to find friends，work she loves，a partner who loves her. And still，always，I pray that she will never struggle as I've struggled，that weight will never be her cross to bear. She may not be able to use the word in our home，but I can use in my head. I pray that she will never get fat.1、The underlined sentence in Paragraph I indicates that Lucy___________A．often makes fun of her friend J.B．has turned against her friend J.C．gets along well with her friend J.D．has begun to compete with her friend J.2、Why does the author want to discuss with Lucy？A．Because she wants to offer some other helpful advice.B．Because she has prepared the conversation for nine years.C．Because she is really shocked at Lucy's rudeness.D．Because she decides to tell Lucy a similar story of her own.3、What does the author want her daughter to know？A．It is not easy to take the doctors' advice to eat less.B．People shouldn't complain because life is unfair.C．She herself was once laughed at for her appearance.D．People shouldn't be blamed for their appearance.4、It can be inferred from the passage that ________A．the author earns a living by writing storiesB．the author is a fat but good-looking womanC．the author predicted what would happen to her daughterD．the author's daughter agreed with her from the beginning5、The author's attitude towards her daughter can be best described as _________ A．satisfied and friendlyB．indifferent but patientC．loving but strict.D．unsatisfied and angry24．（8分）I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling（叛逆）．I wish it were so．At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents．You should be learning to stand on your own hvo feet．But take a good look at the present rebellion．It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents．Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching(紧握）at one another's hands for reassurance．They claim they want to dress as they please．But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music．But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together．Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it．They have come out of their cocoon（茧）into a larger cocoon．It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way．Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market．These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be．And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children．All this adds to a great barrier(障碍）for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path．But the barrier is worth climbing over．The path is worth following, You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party．You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records．You may have some thoughts 'that you don't care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it．Find yourself．Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are．That is the only kind of popularity that really counts．1、In this passage, the author wants to tell ________.A．teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselvesB．readers how to be popular with people aroundC．parents how to control and guide their childrenD．people how to understand and respect each other2、According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact, most of them_________.A．have much difficulty understanding each otherB．lack confidenceC．dare not cope with （处理）problems single-handedD．are much afraid of getting lost3、Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．There is no popularity that really counts．B．What many parents are doing is helping their children find their own paths．C．It is bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates．D．Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doing the same．4、What does the author think of advertisements?

The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.“Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has don ated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they cer tainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.H arrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.1、What do we know about James Harrison?A．He saved 2.4 million poor people.B．He is to retire as a blood donor.C．He is a very grateful blood donor.D．He donates blood nearly every day.2、What is the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph 4?A．To state Harrison’s decision to continue donating blood.B．To describe how Harrison’s donations come to an e nd.C．To introduce some babies saved by Harrison’s blood.D．To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.3、What can we infer from the passage about Harrison?A．After his retirement, the Rh program will fail.B．New donors are easy to find in a short time.C．He continues to contribute to the Rh program.D．His DNA is kept in a library for future study.4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Unique Man with a Rare Blood TypeB．The Blood Saving Millions of BabiesC．A Special Blood Type Donor to RetireD．The Man with the Golden Arm第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）Thinking of my good friends, I sense that my attitudes are totally different towards men and women.My earliest childhood friend is Donald.
