Pass through within 10 minutesBDujiangyan is the oldest man-made water system in the world, and a wonder in the development of Chinese science. Built over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50 cities in the province.In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region’s governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have mined the Minjiang River. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally. Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplish- ment as it was done long before the invention of gunpowder and explosives. Li Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 2-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modern dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.24. What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph?A. Reducing flooding and watering farmland.B. Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding.C. Watering farmland and improving water quality.D. Drying the river and supplying cities with water.25. What was the main cause of the Minjiang River’s flooding?A. Heavy rains.B. Melting snow.C. Low river banks.D. Steep mountains.26. How was Li Bing able to break。

I applaud Mr. Gates. But what's taking us so long?As early as 1997, MIT（麻省理工）decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but ifs not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why we aren't spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30billion USD．Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100million dollars.Bill Gates’ prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.28．What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning? _____A．It will concentrate on physics lectures.B．It will completely replace real universities.C．It will help to make universities more successful.D．It will play an increasingly important role in education.29．What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean? _____A．Creative.B．Enthusiastic.C．Well-behaved.D．Experienced.30．According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning? _____A．The lack of lectures available online.B．The high cost of access to the websites.C．The low standard of educational websites.D．The competition with online computer games.31．Why does the author mention Hollywood? _____A．To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.B．To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.C．To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.D．To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.DPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speaker's way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you're more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker's way of connecting with an audience's emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying” believe me”.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.32．Why does the author say persuasion is an art? _____A．They both entertain the audience.B．They both require great skill to achieve.C．They both demand full attention from the audience.D．They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.33．How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience? _____A．By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B．By telling the audience about her personal preference.C．By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D．By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic.34．What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion? _____A．Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B．Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C．Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D．Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.35．An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _____.A．ethos.B．pathos.C．logos.D．a combination of all three.第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Scientists found this feeling of anger usually comes from having low glucose （葡萄糖） levels in the blood． Glucose is put into the body after you eat．The brain also needs this to work correctly． When the body is low on glucose, the brain sends hormones （激素） to increase the amount of glucose in the body． Brenda Bustillos, a dietitian at Texas A&M University, US, says this makes it hard for a person to control their feelings．"Hunger leads to high stress hormones, " said Bustillos, "which makes it hard to manage our feelings．"Amanda Salis, PhD, University of Sydney, says that we may also be able to thank our ancestors（祖先） for our hanger． Salis says that long ago when there was not much food, people had to be ________ to eat as much as they could to get enough food to live．So even now when most people have enough food to eat, there is still that aggressive feeling toward needing food．（1）． From Paragraph 1， we learn that "hangry"________．A is the wrong word for "hungry"B is "angry" spelled wrongC means being angry because of hungerD means that one is very hungry．（2）． Which of the following is NOT true？________A Glucose in your body comes from the food you eat．B People may get angry easily because of low glucose levels．C Hormones can increase the amount of glucose in the body．D Hunger can cause too many hormones in the brain．．（3）． What does the underlined word "aggressive" in the passage mean？________A 好斗的B 分享的C 自私的D 坚强的．（4）． The article mainly talks about________．A the reasons for getting angryB the science behind being hangryC the changes of brain chemicalsD the importance of food．（5）． According to the article， what is the best title？________A Why do people feel hungry？B Being "hungry" or being angryC Where does hunger come from？D Anger comes hand in hand with hunger．7.

"I believe anything is possible． Don't give up on your dreams． Getting a book published is difficult but if I can do it, others can do it too． "（1）When can readers find the book， Demon in My View， in the bookstore？________A In 1984．B In 1987．C In 1998．D In 2000．（2）Why did Amelia begin to write stories？________A Her parents told her to do so．B She was a born writer．C She wanted to get the name "20Teens Who will Change the World"．D She wanted to start a successful career．（3）Why are the shelves of books in her room important in her life？________A She needs books to fill her room．B She liked to copy these wonderfulbooks． C Books can give her new ideas for her own stories． D Books are interesting and enjoyable．（4）Which is the meaning of the underlined sentence？________A I love stories but don't have enough stories to write down．B I write stories and tell my stories to other people．C I write my own stories before I learn how to do it in school．D I wrote my stories first， my parents told me to do it second．（5）Which is Amelia's parents' attitude （态度）？________A They are at her back and help her a lot．B They encourage her and help her write some stories．C They buy enough books for her and read these books forher． D They never tell her that she is too young to read．5. The baby is just one day old and has not left hospital yet． She is quiet but alert（警觉）． The researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it twenty centimeters from her face． She stares at it carefully．A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another one, this time with the spots differently spaced． As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus until a third card is presented． The third card has three black spots onit． Her gaze returns: she looks at ________ for twice as long as she did at the previous card． Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world? Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer?The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes． Perhaps it is just the newness?

ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China，this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6，000 square kilometres of farmland，take away floodwater and provide water for 50cities m the province．In ancient times，the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River．To help the victims of the flooding，Li Bing，the region's governor，together with his son，decided to finda solution．They studied the problem and discovered that the river most oftenoverflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed．The simplest fix was to build a dam，but this would have ruined the Minjiang River．So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally．Better still，the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain，making it suitable for farming．Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention gunpowder andexplosives．£1Bing found another solution．He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed．After eight years of work，the 20﹣metre﹣wide canals had been carved through the mountain．Once the system was finished，no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently．Today，Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature．Unlike modem dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall，Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally，enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony．24．What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph？A．Reducing flooding and watering farmland．B．Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding．C．Watering farmland and improving water quality．D．Drying the river and supplying cities with water．25．What was the main cause of the Minjiang Rivers flooding？A．Heavy rains．B．Melting snow．C．Low river banks．D．Steep mountains．26．How was Li Bing able to break through the rocks of Mount Yulei？A．By using gunpowder．B．By flooding the rocks with water．C．By applying a heating and cooling technique．D．By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades．27．Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists today？A．It preserves much of the natural river life．B．It took very little time to complete the project．C．The building techniques used were very modem．D．It has raised the living standards of the local people．3．（8分）（2017•广州一模）Bill Gates recently predicted that online learning willmake place﹣based colleges less significant，and five years from now，students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online．I applaud Mr．Gates．But what's taking us so long？As early as 1997，MIT （麻省理工）decided to post videos of all university lectures online，for free，for all people．But today，how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video？Unfortunately，the answer is not many．The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students．Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people，but ifs not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft．Only the most ardent students，those who are highly motivated，will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos．The real question is why we aren't spending more to develop better online education platforms．Where is the Avatar of education？Think about this．The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30billion USD．Education in the world isa trillion﹣dollar﹣a﹣year market，hundreds of times bigger than Hollywoodmovies．Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100million dollars．Bill Gates'prediction is going to happen．There is no doubt about it．But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences t hat engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world．28．What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning？A．It will concentrate on physics lectures．B．It will completely replace real universities．C．It will help to make universities more successful．D．It will play an increasingly important role in education．29．What does the underlined word"ardent"in Paragraph 3mean？A．Creative．B．Enthusiastic．C．Well﹣behaved．D．Experienced．30．According to the author，what is holding back the popularity of online learning？A．The lack of lectures available online．B．The high cost of access to the websites．C．The low standard of educational websites．D．The competition with online computer games．31．Why does the author mention Hollywood？A．To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies．B．To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment．C．To argue that movie directors should produce educational content．D．To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites．4．（8分）（2017•广州一模）Persuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you．According to the ancient Greeks，there are three basic tools of persuasion：ethos，pathos，and logos．Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy，honest and reliable．One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field．After all，you're more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman．A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person．If an audience cannot trust you，you will not be able to persuade them．Pathos is a speaker's way of connecting with an audience's emotions．For example，a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say thathe alone can save the country from a terrible war．These words are intended to fill the audience with fear，thus making them support him．Similarly，an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats，to make the viewers feel pity．If the audience feels bad for the animals，they will be more likely to donate money．Logos is the use of facts，statistics，or other evidence to support your argument．An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back upyour claims．Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying"believe me"．Although ethos，pathos，and logos all have their strengths，they are often most effective when used together．Indeed，most speakers use a combination of ethos，pathos，and logos to persuade their audiences．So，the next time you listen to a speech，watch a commercial，or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money，be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion．32．Why does the author say persuasion is an art？A．They both entertain the audience．B．They both require great skill to achieve．C．They both demand full attention from the audience．D．They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers．33．How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience？A．By expressing her sympathy with the audience．B．By telling the audience about her personal preference．C．By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive．D．By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic．34．What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion？A．Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion．B．Each aspect has a different effect on the audience．C．Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable．D．Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience．35．An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria"is mainly using．A．ethos B．pathos C．logos D．a combination of all three．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（10分）（2017•广州一模）We've all experienced peer pressure （同伴压力）．It happens to everybody．However，people have different reactions．Confident people refuse to do things they don't want to do，but shy and anxious people often give in．It may be because they want to be liked．It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them，or perhaps they're just curious about trying something new．（36）．It's hard being the only one who says no and the question is：how do you do it？（37）．If you think that missing maths，or smoking，or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn't'like is a bad idea then the answer is simple：don't do it．It's your decision，nobody else's．You don't need to be aggressive．You don't need to shout and scream，but yo u must be confident and you must be firm．You need to say，"No thanks．I don't want to do that．"Being on your own against everybody else is very hard，so it can really help to have at least one other peer，or friend，who will say no too．（38）．You want friends who will support you when you're in trouble．You don't want people who will always agree with the majority．Remember，the most popular people aren't always the most trustworthy．（39）．You can learn a lot from people your own age．They can teach you greatfootball skills or the best way to do your maths homework．They can recommend music and advise you on fashion．And don't forget you can tell them things too，and that always feels great．So，find friends who have similar interests．And remember，friendship isn't about feeling depressed and guilty．（40）．A．Choose your friends carefully．B．Firstly，you must decide what you believe in．C．It's about sharing experiences and having fun．D．Of course，peer pressure isn't completely bad．E．It may be because they were all born to be stubborn．F．Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure．G．Whatever the reason，some people end up doing things they really don't want to．第二部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45）第一节完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．6．（30分）（2017•广州一模）Sarah lived on a farm with her family．She was （41）to learn to track，to identify

AInside the Rain RoomThe Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors aren’t getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It’s time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!21. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To attract visitors to a new art exhibit.B. To explain how an exhibit has been created.C. To describe the technology used in the exhibitD. To promote the artists taking part in an exhibit.22. What’s the function of the exhibit’s tracking system?A. To keep visitors from getting wet.B. To protect the exhibit from water damage.C. To time how long visitors are in the room.D. To count the number of visitors in the room.23. What must you do when visiting the Rain Room?A. Wear a raincoat.B. Wear dark clothing.C. Leave your camera outsideD. Pass through within 10 minutesBDujiangyan is the oldest man-made water system in the world, and a wonder in the development of Chinese science. Built over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50 cities in the province.In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region’s governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have mined the Minjiang River. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally. Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplish- ment as it was done long before the invention of gunpowder and explosives. Li Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 2-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modern dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.24. What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph?A. Reducing flooding and watering farmland.B. Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding.C. Watering farmland and improving water quality.D. Drying the river and supplying cities with water.25. What was the main cause of the Minjiang River’s flooding?A. Heavy rains.B. Melting snow.C. Low river banks.D. Steep mountains.26. How was Li Bing able to break。
through the rocks of Mount Yulei?A. By using gunpowder.B. By flooding the rocks with water.C. By applying a heating and cooling technique.D. By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades.27. Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists today?A. It preserves much of the natural river life.B. It took very little time to complete the project.C. The building techniques used were very modern.D. It has raised the living standards of the local peopleCBill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But what’s taking us so long?As early as 1997, MIT (麻省理工) decided to post videos of all university lectures online. for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but it’s not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why we aren’t spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD. Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.Bill Gates’prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.28. What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?A. It will concentrate on physics lectures.B. It will completely replace real universities.C. It will help to make universities more successful.D. It will play an increasingly important role in education.29. What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Creative.B. Enthusiastic.C. Well-behaved.D. Experienced30. According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning?A. The lack of lectures available online.B. The high cost of access to the websites.C. The low standard of educational websites.D. The competition with online computer games.31. Why does the author mention Hollywood?A. To show that Hollywood produces many successful moviesB. To prove that education is more profitable than entertainmentC. To argue that movie directors should produce educational contentD. To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.DPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion：ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity。
