After her second day at school, my four-year-old daughter sat me down at the kitchen table for a conversation. She wanted me to _ 36 _ exactly how I take her to school each morning.
“It’s not by car, is it?” she said, I confirmed to her that.
“We go by bicycle when daddy is running late; otherwise we walk,” I told her.
“Good,” she replied.
I _ 37 _ why.
“Cars are bad.”
I learned later that upon arrival at her reception class each day, pupils have to tick a box on a piece of paper _ 38 _ how they journeyed to school that morning. Though they are never told in quite so many words that cars are _ 39 _ bad, they are nevertheless led by their eco-aware teacher, towards the two former modes of _ 40 _--because cycling and walking are both environmentally friendly.
A week later, we had a _ 41 _ kind of conversation, and this one was about the _ 42 _ that we currently grow no fruit or vegetables in our small garden. I informed her of the wonders of environmentally friendly online grocer Ocado, _ 43 _ she insisted that self-sufficiency was better. At school, my _ 44 _ explained, they have a small place where they grow tomatoes and strawberries, possibly potatoes and others. She wants us now to _ 45 _ as she does.
This, I know now, is pester (纠缠) power in action. And in a world where we must all become more _ 46 _ of green, it is children who are at the very forefront of the movement, children who _ 47_ all the information like the sponges, before spreading it in a lovely manner, brooking (容忍) no argument.

Section C (12 marks)
Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.
In Britain, you may often hear “Drop in any time” or “Come to see me soon”, but you can’t really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. 48 is better to telephone before visiting someone. If you receive a written invitation to an event 49 says “RSVP”, you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know 50 or not you plan to go.
You should 51 accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you 52 inviting me, but I won’t be able to come.” If, after accepting, you’re unable to go, be sure to tell those expecting you 53 soon as possible that you won’t be there. 54 it isn’t necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, yet it’s considered polite to do so. A telephone call after the visit is also considered 55 appropriate way to express your appreciation for the invitation.

Walk into the California home of Anne Belles and he r husband, Jim Silcock, and you’ll see kids everywhere playing video games, doing homework, and getting ready for dinner. There are 30 boys in this house and Anne Belles is their mom. Belles has wanted to help children since she was a kid. “I was intrigued by the movie Oliver in the 1960s, a musical based on the Charles Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist.
I told my mom, ‘That’s what I want to do.’”
Anne’s boys are from 3 to 25 years old. All of th em are challenged in some way. “They each have special needs — phys ically, mentally, or at school,” says Belles.
Every day, a small army of childcare workers, nurses, and volunteers comes in to help cook and clean, wash 30 loads of laundry a day, and take care of health needs.
To find out how much such a large family costs, we followed Jim Silcock to the grocery store. He spent $880 on food for one week. Every month they spend $2,000 to run five cars, $15,000 for the fourteen paid helpers, and more than $10,000 on medical costs. The family receives $26,000 a month from the state government, and makes some money from a family business. All the money is spent on the children; having new clothes and fancy cars isn’t important to Belles.
How do the kids feel? 17-year-old Anthony says, “The family is there whenever I need someth ing ... I feel like I am loved.”
“Everything I’m doing now is what I wanted to happen in my life,”says Anne Belles. “So, no reg rets; this is perfect. I couldn’t ask for it to be better -- maybe a bigger house, you know, would be nice.”

Debate over whether school buses in Prince Albert, Canada can use their stop sign arms and let traffic stop went on in both city council（市政会）and school board meeting rooms recently.
At the Saskatchewan Rivers School board meeting, Cynthia Mamar and Lori Stevenson made a presentation to have a bylaw（地方法规）removed that doesn’t allow school buses to use stop sign arms in the city.
“With more drivers on the roads, the need for children’s safety is the primary concern. Some school bus drivers are more than willing to take the risk of the fine of $280 to use their stop arms and stop lights if they foresee something is going to happen. If these bus drivers can take that risk, why can’t we move forward and support them?” said Mamar.
School board trustee（理事）Grant Gustafson said he was concerned that buses stopping on busy streets would create traffic jams.
The discussions about the subject were still ongoing, so the board deciced to table the decision until their next meeting. Meanwhile, at the city council there were also heated discussions about changing the bylaw.
Lee Atkinson said,“If we want to legalize stop sign arms, we could make a decision at the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities（自治市）Association (SUMA), have it adopted by the urban municipalities throughout the province and then hopefully persuade the province to adopt a law.”
Jayne Remenda said it was a good idea, but some responsibility had to fall on public education.
“Until we can get everyone to understand all of the laws of the road, there’s always going to be drivers that are either going to ignore or not understand and a child is going to rush from behind the bus and get hit,” she said.
In the end the council agreed to bring up the issue at the next board meeting.
66. Mamar and stevenson hoped to _______.
A. end the bylaw
B. protect drivers’ rights
C. stop using some road signs
D. limit the number of school buses
67. What was the school bus drivers’ attitude to the use of stop sign arms?
A. They were uncertain about it.
B. They felt worried about it.
C. They were in favor of it.
D. They doubted it.
68. Which of the following shows the right order suggested by Atkinson?
A. The urban municipalities → the SUMA → the province of Saskatchewan.
B. The urban municipalities → the province of Saskatchewan → the SUMA.
C. The SUMA → the urban municipalities → the province of Saskatchewan.
D. The SUMA → the Saskatchewan Rivers School → the urban municipalities.
69. Jayne Remenda stressed the importance of ______.
A. raising public awareness of traffic laws
B. improving the public transport system
C. giving punishment to careless drivers
D. encouraging children to take buses
70. What would be the best title for the text?
A. School board agrees with city council
B. School bus stop sign debate continues
C. Issue of traffic jams is under discussion
D. Council-school board meeting will be held
Part IV Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
If you want your kids to be happy and want to become happy adults, try to have a strong, happy family. Happy people not only feel better, they actually are more successful in their personal lives or in their work. Actually, happiness doesn’t come from success but instead, success comes from happiness.
Besides, having a strong, happy family also builds resilience（适应力）in our kids so they can manage inevitable（不可避免的）challenges of life.
Happy families have been found to share some key traits（特点）. For example, happy families celebrate each other. They do n’t wait for “occasions” but pay attention to little “wins” in life and offer encouragement to each other in their efforts. They’re enthusiastic fans on the platform or are good audience for each other’s games and plays or whatever. If a family member is involved, the rest of the family are there to cheer them on.
Happy families also pay attention to each other. They put down their devices and put aside their projects to listen fully when someone wants to share. They ask each other about their day and are trully interested in the answer. They share their thoughts and feelings and respond thoughtfully and sensitively to the thoughts and feelings of others. They even encourage the youngest members of the family to take part in the real conversation.
People in happy families genuinely（真诚地）care about each other. Their interactions are more positive. Members of happy families reassure（使……安心）each other of their love through both words and actions. It’s understood and the words of courtesy (please, thank you, excuse me) are important way that people show respect for each other. They spend time with each other, not because they have to but
Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
At least 36 people have been killed and another 42 people have been injured in a stampede that broke out during a New Year Eve celebration in downtown Shanghai, which may have been caused by the crowd rushing to grab fake money thrown from the balcony of a building.
Survi vors described the stampede as “horrible and hellish.” A
woman said she covered two kids in front of her with her arms in
the chaos. Her son followed her. Dirty shoe prints covered her
son's clothes when the 12-year-old boy came to safety.
“The crowd was in a panic. We stood in the crowd, feeling
squ eezed and almost out of breath,” a boy said, “Some yelled for
he lp, but the noise was too loud.”
Other survivors said the police rushed to the scene and tried to pull out the people who were stuck, but without much success.
The local authorities said that one of the victims was a female student from the Shanghai-based Fudan University. The student, surnamed Du from Yunnan Province, was fatally injured during the incident and died later in the hospital.
“The chao s lasted several minutes, and then some of the injured were seen being carried out of the crowd," Yu said.
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday demanded an immediate investigation into the cause of the stampede and urged prevention of such incidents in the future.
The city has set up a working team for rescue operations to deal with the aftermath. Fatal incidents like this one were not rare in China, the world’s most populous country. Stampedes in the past were mainly due to safety measures.
In September 2014, six students were killed in a stampede at a primary school in Yunnan Province after a stairway was blocked. In January 2014, a mosque (清真寺) stampede killed 14 people and injured another 10 in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. In 2004, a stampede on a bridge in suburban Beijing killed 37 during a local lantern festival.
