I was not as rich as before! We moved to the small apartment, and there was only one shower in the bathroom．It was so cold to take a shower in such a cold winter．But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warmer．So every day I rushed to the bathroom first．I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer, even if it was only 1℃．Now I cannot give her a comfortable life, take her to good restaurants, or buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1℃ love．21. Why did the couple move to the small apartment?A．Both of them were out of work．B．They wanted to live a better life．C．They were too poor to live in the former house．D．The man could take better care of his business．22.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exhausted”？A．Tired．B．Worried．C．Devoted．D．Injured．23. What can be inferred from the passage?A．They would live a richer life soonB．The woman would get angry after reading the diary．C．The man would care less about his business．D．The woman misunderstood her husband．24. What's the best title of the passage?A．A Love Story B．Fight for the BathroomC．A Suffering Couple D．1℃ LoveBToday, in many places, like restaurants and hotels, people use Wechat or other kinds of payment to pay for their bills. So some scholars say that the wallet is heading for extinction. It will die off with the generation who read printed newspaper. The kind of shopping where you hand over notes and count out change in return now happens only in small retail(零售) counters, like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a corner shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstract. At the most famous retail store Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, you don’t have to stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.Wherever you go, you can get an excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird(怪异的) that spending it should happen in half a blink of an eye?But I’ll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it reflects in our physical environment. The opposite of a wallet is a smart phone or an iPad. When we pay for anything, instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners in a wallet, what we need to do is to move our fingers left and right. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.25.According to the text, customers can pay their bills _________ in big modern stores.A. secretlyB. separatelyC. electronicallyD. mentally26.What makes the writer feel uncomfortable nowadays?A. Saving money is out of date.B. Spending money is so fast and easy.C. Earning money is getting more difficult.D. The pleasure of spending money is fading.27.The writer implies that_________.A. he likes the nature of his walletB. he is against technological progressC. he feels insecure about the changes of the modern paymentD. he wants to return to the old traditions of the old society.CFor many people in the US, sports are not just for fun. They’re almost a “religion”．Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home，sticking to their TV sets，never missing a game. Many a wife becom es a “sports widow” during her husband’s favorite season. Americans’ devotion to sports has created a new class of wealthy people：professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million-dollar salaries. Some even make big money by appearing in advertisements for soft drinks，shoes and almost everything.Sports are an important part of American culture. Throughout their school life，Americans learn to play many sports. Many students try out for the school teams. Athletic events at universities attract scores of fans and benefit the whole community. Many people also enjoy non-competitive activities，like hiking，cycling，horseback riding，camping or hunting.Many sports were imported from other countries. Europeans brought tennis，golf，bowling and boxing to America. Football and baseball came from other Old World games. Only basketball has a truly American origin. Americans export sports fever as well. Satellites broadcast games to sports fans around the globe. NBA is a good example. The names of American superstars like basketball great Michael Jordan have become household words all over the world. 28．Many a wife becomes a “sports widow” in the US probably because________. A．they are serious in religion B．they are devoted to sportsC．their husbands are missing D．their husbands stick to sports29．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．American people like to exchange different sports from each other. B．American students go in for various sports and athletic events.C．Lots of American people take part in non-competitive activities.D．The US sports stars can earn a large sum of money via the media.30．We can infer from the passage that________.A．all the Americans are sports fans B．most Americans like competition C．sports culture influences the world D．America has invented many sports 31．The writer mainly intends to tell us________.A．where sports can help to make money B．how important sports are in America C．why sports are so popular in America D．what affect Americans’ everyday lifeCHave you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, testing or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers (低头族).Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie(自拍照) in front of a car accident site and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that’s not a ll. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happilywith each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.32. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2 ?A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.B. To advertise the cartoon made by students .C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.33. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?A. His social skills could be affected.B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.C. He will cause the destruction of the world.D. He might get separated from his friends and family.34. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Optimistic.D. Objective.35. What may the passage talk about next?A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.B. People addicted to phubbing.C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.D. Consequences of phubbing. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分）Five Life Skills Your Teen Should Learn Before Moving Out ____36____ Teens should understand the importance of sleep, exercise and nutrition.

It will be great 62 you can tell me some information about chopsticks, such 63 their origin and the materials they are made from.M: Good question. Chopsticks originated in China, but they are 64 (wide) used in many Asian countries. Chopsticks may be made of any of the65 (follow) materials: bamboo, wood, gold, silver, ivory, or plastic, and they may be 66 round or square. Some chopsticks are decorated 67 colored pictures. Ordinary chopsticks used in Chinese homes are made of wood or bamboo. In ancient times, the rich used jade or gold chopsticks to display their wealth. Many kings and emperors used silver chopsticks to see if their food had been poisoned.W: OK, thank you. And I’d like to know why Chinese people use chopsticks.68 not knives and forks, like Americans?M: Oh, that is a good question. I think Chinese people choose chopsticks, rather than knives and forks, because Chinese people, under the influence of Confucianism, have traditionally 69 (consider) knives and forks as symbolizing a type of violence. On the other hand, chopsticks reflect 70 (gentle) and kindness. And maybe Chinese food simply seems to taste better when eaten with chopsticks.第三部分书面表达（满分25分）假设你是学生李华，得知好朋友William在学习中感到压力很大，学习效果甚微，请你按照以下要点给他写一封电子邮件，帮助他放松身心，提高学习效率。
