But Wolf Warrior II is put ting China in the ‘g lobal spotlight. It’s also the first film to taste success both in terms of box office earnings and promoting Chinese values.Kung fu artist Wu Jing both starred in and directed the action movie. ’Since its release on July 27, 2017, it’s earned an unimaginable 4. 5 billion yuan, setting ‘a record for domestic movies at the box office.Based on the massive evacuation(撤离) of Chinese people from Libya when the civil war broke out there in2011, and from Yemen in 2015, as well as from West Africa when the Ebola virus created the challenges from2 013 to 2016, the film links art to reality in which a former Special Forces soldier Leng Feng played by Wu leads Chinese workers and local Africans to flee from a war-torn and plague-ravaged (饱受瘟疫折磨的) country.The film describes how the Chinese government aims to protect overseas Chinese citizens. Just as the message reads when the film comes to an end: “Citizens of thePeople’s Republic of China, when you are faced with danger in a foreign land, do not give up! Please remember, at your back stands a strong motherland.”Thanks to China’s increasing participation in global affairs, now it could be considered the right moment to introduce a modem Chinese hero.“Holding up a banner (旗帜) of peace, friendship and responsibility , Wolf Warrior II should be seen as a brave effort to promote Chinese values around the world,” columnist Zhu Ping wrote, in China Daily.It’s time Chinese filmmakers produced films that tell good stories and carry the right spirit. Wolf Warrior II is the very film that has started that trend.4. What do we know from Paragraph 1?A. The film brought in good profits.B. The fi lm caught the audience’s eye with Kung fu.C.

Which of the following can best describe the film?A. Positive and influential.B. Profitable and academic.C. Humorous and successful.D. Frightening and aggressive.CThere is nothing better than having a good scratch when an itch (痒) strikes. But how does scratching stop an itch?According to a study published in the journal Nature by the scientists from the University of Minnesota, US, the relief you feel does not come from your skin, but from inside our spinal cord (脊柱).The scientists injected a kind of chemical called histamine(组胺)into a monkey’s legs to produce an itch. The activity in part of the monkey’s spinal cord started to become very strong in response. The scientists then scratched the itchy legs and found that the activity in the spinal cord quickly weakened.The sudden change in the activity happened because scratching blocked that part of the monkey’s spinal cord. As a result, it could no longer send signals to the brain telling it about the itchy feeling. This is why scratching makes mosquito bites feel better at least temporarily.“I t’s a very important study for i tching is a major problem for millions of patients,” said Gil Yosipovitch, PhD, founder of the International Forum for the Study of Itch.Around 50 different diseases can cause serious itching, including AIDS and kidney diseases.Scratching might make things more comfortable for small, ordinary itches, but for people with more serious diseases, it can make matters worse. Sometimes an itch can be s0 strong that it keeps the sufferers awake at night, throwing them into a terrible emotional disturbance. Scratching hard can lead to serious skin damage or infection.The next step for scientists is to discover exactly how itches are reduced when spinal cord signals are stopped. This could help them develop medicines that act in the same way to reduce itching. Patients suffering from serious itching will finally be freed from their misery without tearing up their skin, according to Glenn Giesler, leader of the research.8. What is the key to determining the feeling of an itch?A. The skin.B. The brain.C. The spinal cord.D. The bitten tissue.9. Which is the correct order to show how the experiment was done?a. The monkey began to have a feeling of itches.b. The monkey became sensitive to the chemicals.c. The scientists scratched the itchy legs of the monkey.d. Scratching made the brain unable to get signals from the spinal cord.e. To make itches, an injection of histamine was given to the monkey’s legs.A. e-c-b-d-aB. e-b-a-c-dC. d-c-b-e-aD. b-a-e-d-c10. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The cause of itches has not been found yet.B. All the itches can be got rid of by scratching.C. Some patients stay awake because of severe itches.D. Serious itching and scratching can affect people physically and mentally.11. What may scientists do next according to the passage?A. They will wipe out itches foreverB. They will announce the findings to the world.C. They will treat the itch sufferers in a traditional way.D. They will develop a kind of medicine to relieve itches.DVast deserts, magic carpets, and the legend of Aladdin’s lamp. For most Chinese people, Saudi Arabia is a faraway land that exists only in bedtime stories. However, connections between the two countries date back to ancient times. The economic and cultural ties between the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907) and the Arabian empire reached their height in the 9th century. Paper-making workshops did thrive in what is now Saudi Arabia while Arabian knowledge of math, astronomy and spread to the MiddleKingdom.These exchanges, recorded by Arabian merchants sailing along the ancient Maritime Silk Road, became materials for folk stories, such as the One thousand and One Nights stories.Fast forward a millennium (千年), the relationship between a modem Saudi Arabia and a progressive China has entered a new era, thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013.“Saudi Arabia is one of the first countries that responded positively to the Belt and Road Initiative,” Saudi Ambassador to China Gurki Mohanmed told Xinhua.“In terms of strategic location, Saudi Arabia serves as the central place connecting Asia, Africa and Europe, making it an important part of the initiative,”he added.In fact, since they built diplomatic ties in 1990, the two countries have seen a sound development of partnerships. In 2015, China became Saudi Arabia’s largest trade partn er while Saudi Arabia has been China’s biggest crude oilsupplier next to Russia and largest trade partner in West Asia and Africa for years.Xu Mengmeng is now completing his graduation project on marine science at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. 0n weekdays, he works on his research project on sharks. When free, he tours the city to experience the local culture.Now China has become a favorite choice of Saudi Arabian students expecting to study overseas. Momudouh from Saudi Arabia came to Xian to study marketing in 2010. He told Xi’an Daily that be was attracted by the fast trade opportunities between the two counties.

It's just hard to believe,” a foreigner named Stuart told People's Daily. In the meantime, Chinese companies have also taken actions quickly in this battle.“The automobile industry is highly industrialized with strong capabilities in comprehensive manufacturing, purchasing materials, production lines and output of technologies,” Shi Jianhua, deputy secretary-general of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, told CCTV News. “In this special time, when the nation needs more masks, it's time for us to quickly respond and shoulder the social responsibilities.”Indeed, a fast response is crucial in any crisis.

The family had John Smothers, his wife and their five-year-old daughter.One night after supper the little girl was ill with a serious stomachache, and John Smothers hurried downtown to get some medicine.

The little girl recovered and in time grew up to womanhood. After a few years had rolled around, the little girl also married in time, and she also had a little girl of five years. She still lived in the same house where theydweltwhen her father had left and never returned.By an unbelievable coincidence her little girl was taken with the same stomachache on the same night of the disappearance of John Smothers, who would now have been her grandfather if he had been alive. “I will go downtown and get some medicine for her,” said John Smith(for it was he whom she had married). “No, no, dear John,” cried his wife. “You, too, might disappear forever, and then forget to come back.” So John Smith did not go, and together they sat by the bedside of little Pansy. After a little while Pansy seemed to grow worse, and JohnSmith again wanted to go for medicine, but his wife would not let him.Just then, the door suddenly opened and an old man with long white hair entered the room. “Hello, here is grandpa,” said Pansy.

Although she only worked for him for a few weeks, she remained good friends with Alfred Nobel for the next 20 years. When she became involved in the peace movement inEurope, she promised to keep Nobel informed of its progress. When Alfred Nobel died in 1896, his will included the establishment of a peace prize, thanks to Bertha von Suttner’s influence.Bertha von Suttner was born in an aristocratic (贵族) military family, but she spent the second half of her life working for peace. She wrote books, attended peace conferences, gave lectures and helped organize peace societies inAustria,GermanyandHungary, as well as the International Peace Bureau inSwitzerland. Her novel Lay Down your Arms, was one of the most influential anti-war books of all time, and helped to make her a leader of the peace movement in Europe. Its end to war theme was both the ambition (抱负) and the most important goal in the life of this great woman.Bertha von Suttner worked so hard for peace because she believed that a terrible war would break outinEuropeif nations didn’t work hard to establish lasting peace institutions. She made many major achievements for a more peaceful world, but two months after she died, World War I broke out. A hundred years after she won the Nobel Peace Prize, nations still seem to view war as a choice to work out their problems. But like Bertha von Suttner did, many today are working hard around the world to help strengthen peace institutions and spread the idea that it’s time to put an end to war.12.

The discovery adds to existing evidence that the ancient Mars had the right conditions to possibly support some form of life.Today, any water on Mars is believed to be in the form of ice because of the planet’s extremely cold desert temperatures. But there is a rich amount of evidence suggesting that rivers, lakes and even oceans once existed on Mars. A study by the American space agency NASA suggested that about 4.3 billion years ago, Mars likely had an ocean that covered nearly half of Mars’ northern hemisphere(半球). Another NASA-supported study guessed that about 3 billion years ago, the climate in much of the planet’s northern hemisphere was very similar to today’s Earth. The study noted that at that time, Mars likely had a much thicker atmosphere than today and had an active northern ocean.Two American researchers recently released a set of maps to provide new environmental evidence of a large ancient ocean on Mars’ low-lying northern hemisphere. The team collected data from satellite images and photos of Mars. They then combined them to create maps of the planet’s northern hemisphere. Using the maps, the researchers were able to piece together evidence of shorelines that sat at the edge of a huge body of water about 3.5 billion years ago.The researchers published their findings in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Benjamin Cardenas, an assistant professor at The Penn State University, was a co- writer of the study. He said the study’s findings showed the possible ocean in that area of Mars was changeable and interesting. “It was dynamic ( 动态的) . The sea level rose significantly, ” he said. “Rocks were being deposited (沉积) along its basins at a fast rate.There was a lot of change happening here. ”Besides, Cardenas suggested the new study also provided useful information on Mars’ ancient climate and developmental history. “Based on these findings, we know there had to have been a period when it was warm enough and the atmosphere was thick enough to support this much liquid water at one time, ” he said.4.How does the author develop paragraph 2?A.By drawing comparisons. B.By giving examples.C.By listing figures. D.By asking questions.5.What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the researchers?A.How they found the evidence. B.Where they created maps.C.Why they studied satellites. D.When they landed on Mars.6.What did the new study find about Mars?A.It must have been always warm.B.It might have had an active ocean.C.The climate and sea level were unchangeable.D.The atmosphere was too thin to support water.7.Which section of a magazine is the text most probably taken from?A.Science. B.Photography. C.Literature. D.Farming.CAs a mother and a professional working full time, I spent all of my 30s saying yes. Saying yes to things I wanted to do, but a lot of the time saying yes to things I disliked. This was a people-pleasing technique that would affect people’s opinion of me: t he woman who could do it all, so that I can obtain a nice fame in their mind.Little did I know that I was also developing an autoimmune(自身免疫的) disease, which I have to believe was my body’s way of telling me to slow down. I had severely swollen joints an d brain fog butI pushed through so that I could look in the mirror at the end of the day and feel “accomplished”. The only things I was accomplishing were bad health and bed habits.And then a series of events changed everything: serious medical issues and losing my job. It took all that to help me see how intensely burnt out I was. I spent a lot of time thinking about where I had to be next instead of being present in the moment. But now, I wake up each day knowing that everything on my schedule has been purposefully agreed to.Looking back, I had the capability to suffer the pressure to say yes. I also felt it necessary to say yes, from driving people to the airport to seeing family every Friday night. I always wanted to solve everyone’s problems and offered sound and immediate solutions. It was one big “yes” to everything.I was everyone’s cheerleader, but forgot how to cheer for myself along the way. But saying no is being my own cheerleader. And it’s not saying no to caring for family and friends. Instead, it’s a minor change in mindset, taking a pause before automatically agreeing. I take a breath, do a quick count ofmy energy and ability before jumping in.8.Why did the author say yes to things she disliked?A.To please her boss. B.To prove her profession.C.To push herself to the limit. D.To earn herself a good reputation.9.How did the author deal with the changes in her body?A.She got rid of bad habits. B.She thought little of them.C.She slowed down her life pace. D.She paid more attention to her health.10.Which word can best describe the author?A.Purposeful. B.Stubborn. C.Reflective. D.Encouraging.11.What will the author do before saying yes?A.Find a cheerleader. B.Evaluate her situation.C.Breathe in some fresh air. D.Seek help from her friends.DLynda Doughty, a marine biologist, developed a passion for marine wildlife during her childhood. Growing up along the coast of Maine, she witnessed the impact of human activity on marine mammals and she made it her life’s work to protect them. “I feel this intense responsibility to help these animals,” Lynda said. “And, really, this is what I was put on this Earth to do.”Harbor seals are among the most common mammals found along the East Coast, and they face various threats to their well-being, including fishing net s and illegal feeding, chemical pollutants, as well as boat and propeller (螺旋桨) injuries.Earlier in her career, she worked for a marine mammal emergency response organization that eventually closed due to lack of funding. To fill the gap left by the group, Lynda started her ownnon-profit organization — Marine Mammals of Maine in 2011. It has since provided response and medical care for more than 3,000 marine mammals.Lynda’s team operates a 24-hour hotline that responds to calls regarding marine mammals in danger. Their permit allows them to respond to mammals stranded (搁浅) within 2,500 miles of the coastline, and her team only offers help if the mammal is in critical condition. Critically ill mammals are transported to Lynda’s center and nur sed back to health. Seals typically require three or more months of professional care treatment before they are released back into the ocean.In addition to mammal rescues, Marine Mammals of Maine conducts important research to learn about marine mammal habitats and human impacts.

第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

AAn Oceans VacuumThere’s a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than Texas-and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes 62-mile-long floating barriers that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesIn 2012, Mathew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is o go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.”Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for $130.An Airport for Drones(无人机)As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: what kinds of home bases will their drones have? Rwanda, in Africa, may have the answer. There, workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. The goal is to make it easier to transport food, medical supplies, electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside. Construction is set to be completed in 2020.21.What’s the advantage of the Oceans Vacuum?A. It can be a money-saverB. It can grow year by yearC. It can tear plastic into piecesD. It can be put into wide use soon22.What do we know about Nike?A. It offers free shoes to the disabledB. It is designing new shoes frequentlyC. It provides customer-friendly servicesD. It responded to Matthew’s request passively23.Why is Rwanda setting up “drone ports”?A. Because road travel there is roughB. Because there are too many dronesC. Because they’re easier to construct than roadsD. Because they are receptive to new technologyBI grew up in a troubled home in the 1970s, on the outskirts of downtown Orlando, Florida. Not far away, a three-story house attracted my eyes.It was nothing like the one I lived in with my mother, a small dark place with rules about befriending others. “Don’t. Never, ever talk to anyone,” my mother said.One day, in sixth grade, a black-haired woman was introduced to our class: Mrs. Reese. Reese explained that she was starting Spanish Club. She invited anyone interested in learning Spanish language and culture to stay after school.I could not take my eyes off her bracelets(手镯) and shining rings. The bell rang, and to my shock, no one went up to Mrs. Reese. I was under strict orders to go straight home. But that day, I stayed. I asked Mrs. Reese when the club started.“We could begin right now if you like,”she said with a smile. I felt beautiful. That day I learned that the house of my dreams was her house. I learned how to answer questions about my age and my favorite food in Spanish. And I learned, Do you want to come over tomorrow for cooking lessons?I wanted to say “Yes”, but Mom’s words held me back.I begged my mother all summer and into fall, well after Spanish Club had dissolved. I wept at night sometimes, so worried that Mrs. Reese and her family would move away.At some point, I managed to wear my mother down and one Saturday afternoon. I rode out to Mrs. Reese’s house.The details of that afternoon are marked in my mind: We had tea. She painted my toenails red. We made a garlicky picadillo. We spoke in Spanish. In Spanish, my voice was loud and romantic. This is the real me! I remember thinking.My mother never permitted me another visit to Mrs. Reese’s house. But four decades later, I still remember that day and the life she showed me, proof of a possible future.24.What kind of family was the author from?A. Hard-upB. Two-parentC. Stress-freeD. Disease-ridden25.Why did the author choose to join the club?A. She wanted to stay longer at schoolB. She intended to comfort Mrs. ReeseC. She was deeply attracted by Mrs. ReeseD. She hoped to befriend the owner of her dreamt house26.The author went to Mrs. Reese’s house .A. with the help of her tearsB. while no one was noticingC. with her mother’s permissionD. just before the lady moved away27.What did the author gain from Mrs. Reese?A. The beauty of SpanishB. The wonder of a new worldC. The power of self-confidenceD. The importance of independenceCEnglish is full of colorful phrases to describe shyness. Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower, while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say boo to a goose.None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions, even if you like geese. In a culture of go-getting, high achievers, shy people don’t come first.Or that's what the self-help industry would have you believe. Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business. That is why one book, Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success across English-language media recently for its new take-on shyness.Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life, being shy can also be "a gift". Freed from the constant urge to participate and compete in social situations, people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人). Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company; actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties; and Harry Potter author JK Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.Moran told BBC Future: "I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家), really-you are more likely to be an observer."So, while extroverts make all the noise, they don't necessarily have the best ideas.If you're shy, you've probably known this for a long time. You just don't shout about it.28.When someone is being called a wallflower, he is being .A. praised for his graceB. admired for his characterC. laughed at for his shynessD. told off for his nervousness29.The underlined phrase “bucks the trend” in Paragraph 2 probably means ””.A. going against the trend and succeedsB. changing the public idea completelyC. becoming unpopular and unacceptedD. becoming the major concern of people30.The author mentioned many famous shy people in order to .A. point out the harm shyness bringsB. disconnect shyness and successC. shows the reasons for shynessD. prove shyness contributes to science31.What is the author’s attitude towards shyness?A. OpposedB. IndifferentC. SupportiveD. CriticalDFrigatebirds seagoing fliers with a 6-foot wingspan, can stay aloft(up in the air) for weeks at a time, a new study has found.Since the frigatebird spends most of its life at sea, its habits outside of when it reproduces on land aren’t well-known-until researchers started tracking them around the Indian Ocean. What the researchers discovered is that the bird’s flying ability is unbelievable.Ornithologist(鸟类学家) Henri Weimerskirch put satellite tage(标签) on a couple of dozen frigatebirds. When the data started to come in, he could hardly believe how high the birds flew."First, we found, 'Whoa, 1,500 meters. Excellent,' " says Weimerskirch, "And after 2,000, after 3,000, after 4,000 meters-OK, at this altitude they are in freezing conditions, especially surprising for a tropical bird.""There is no other bird flying so high relative to the sea surface," he says. "It's the only bird that is known to intentionally enter into a cloud," Weimerskirch says. And not just any cloud-a soft, white cumulus cloud(积云). Over the ocean, these clouds tend to form in places where warm air rises from the sea surface. The birds take a ride on the current of rising air, all the way up to the top of the cloud.Frigatebirds have to find ways to stay aloft because they can't land on the water. Since their feathers aren't waterproof, the birds would drown in short order. They feed by harassing other birds in flight until they bring whatever fish they've swallowed back into their mouth and the frigatebird takes it.So in between meals, frigatebirds fly higher... and higher.In one case, for two months-continuously aloft.One of the tagged birds flew 40 miles without a wing-flap. Several covered more than 300 miles a day on average, and flew continuously for weeks. They are blessed with an unusual body. No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight.32.How did researchers feel when data about frigatebirds reached them?A. CalmB. SurprisedC. HopefulD. Anxious33.According to the text, how can frigatebirds fly so high?A. By flying into a cloudB. With the help of researchersC. Thanks to advanced technologyD. By following other birds into the sky34.What does the underlined word ”they” in the text refer to?A. FrigatebirdsB. Other birdsC. Small fishD. Larger fish35.In what aspect are frigatebirds different from other birds?A. When they give birthB. What they feed onC. Their body weightD. Their wing surface area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。

You don't even have to interview!'" Like many other performers, I seemed shy in person, but after a show, people would say, "Hey, you' re amazing on stage."I thought, dray, I'll pursue comedy.It'll pay starvation wages, but I'm not a big spender.I can eat Top Amen noodles forever.I also had a fairly graceful nest egg from all those years in the corporate world.I composed jokes while riding the subway, walking around, and talking on the phone with friends.I made efforts to practice.I promoted myself on the Internet, and performed when I had the chance.My new career took off.So far I have done stand-up at corporate functions, charity galas, and birthday parties.This year, I'll have flown 125,000 miles on Delta.I'm a frequent flier, and I get upgraded to first class on everyflight.Recently, I made the unrealistic sum of $ 12,500 in one night.I'm making more than double what t made at Intel.I'll probably pull in about $ 275,000 this year, not counting the commercial;! just shot for a computer company.I also have a role in a movie due out next summer.The Last Air bender, directed by M.Night Shyamalan and featuring one of the stars of Sundog Millionaire, Dev Patel.In the Indian immunity,I've become pretty well known.In this business, there is no greater thrill than thinking of a joke in the shower that makes you laugh out loud, practicing it for a small audience, and then performing it in a theater of 2,000 people-and bringing the house down.Getting laid off was the best thing that has ever happened to me.(From Reader's Digest )56.What is the text mainly about?A.The author's experience after being laid off.B.The greatest excitement in the author's life.C.The funniest thing the author has experienced.D.The author's experience at Intel Corporation.57.What was the author's first response to the fact that he was laid off?A.He felt amused.B.He felt relaxed.C.He was.excited.D.He felt worried.58.The underlined word "instinct" in the fourth paragraph probably means____.A.achievement B.potentialC.imagination D.curiosity62.Which of the following is TRUE about baby giant pandas?A.At birth, they are as small as a human hand.B.They are born with a full coat of fur.C.The mother and rather raise the baby giant pandas together.D.They learn to look for bamboo as soon as they are born.63.In winter, giant pandas ______.A.don’t have to eat anything B.change their lifestyle completelyC.prefer to give birth to their babies D.needn’t sleep day and night64.It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A.people who like history might enjoy watching Giant PandasB.the team members were excited when they found the giant panda wasteC.the program Giant Pandas provides all information about giant pandasD.the Qinling Mountains are a natural link between the east and west of China65.What's the best title for (he passage?A.Gi ant Pandas and the Camera Group’s Work on Giant PandasB.How to Protect Giant PandasC.Qinling Mountains: Giant Pandas^ Natural HabitatD.The Mfestyle of Giant PandasCIs early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily focuses on learningthrough playing to develop the child's physical, sensory, communicational and social development.Earlychildhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formallytrained before they-are old enough for kindergarten.There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education.Studies have shown that orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life.Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or g& to jail.There are also negative parts to putting a child in formal education programs too early.Time Magazine online explains that the younger the child the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work.n I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school.Yet patents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school, the better life he or she will have, so they Dash to start children earlier.Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years, studies also show that this head start is really a "false start", as the gains are lost in middle and high school years.It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life's success than early education.Head programs have not achieved its original goal m dosing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children.Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap.66.The purpose of the government valuing the teary childhood education isA.to develop the children^ communicationB.to give orphaned children good care and educationC.to get the children prepared for the kindergartenD.to train the children formally and regularly67.According to the studies, which of the following is TRUE?A.Children with good early education* may have a good life.B.The orphaned children are usually unhappy in their life.C.Children without early education can do well at school.D.Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children.68."...the younger the child the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work." suggests that_____.A.the early childhood educ ation is helpless to the child’s gradeB.it is good for the young children to receive early educationC.the early education can help the children follow the gradeD.the younger the children are, the more clever they will be69.The authors attitude toward the early childhood education is_____.A.subjective B.objective C.disapproving D.approving70.The main idea of the last paragraph is that_____.A.the early childhood education is very necessaryB.Head Start programs have helped the children a lotC.environment is the most important to lifers successD.better ways should be found to help the poor childrenPart ]V Writing(45 marks)Section A(10 marks)Directions".Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from thepassage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.A gap year (also known as year abroad, year out, year off, deferred year, bridging year, time off and tune out)is a year

of taking a gap year developed in the United Kingdom in the 1960s.During a gap year, a student might travel, do voluntary work overseas or undertake a working holiday abroad.In 1978, the Prince of Wales and Colonel John Blashford-Snell beam what is now known as Raleigh International by launching ' Operation Drake", a gap year expedition voyage around the world following Sir Francis Drake's route.The Center for Interim Programs in the United States was originally founded in 1980 to assist students in making a more effective transition from high school to college.The gap year has grown very popular among students in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.A trend for gap years is to participate in educational programs that combine language study, home stay, cultural immersion, community .service, and independent study.The high pressure increasingly leaves students of high school tired out and longing for refreshment.Also, counselors are coming to bless the gap-year option, and colleges increasingly are offering a delayed enrol lment option as more and more “gap ers" arrive on campus with enhanced motivation and maturity-all of which prepares well for their undergraduate years in college.In 2010, gap year travel has increased among school, college and university leavers, as this is seen as an attractive option for future career development.Section B(10 marks)Directions Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Bard itch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion.Over 450 people came to the event.There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park.Several former teachers were to tell stories about the old days, including Ms.Mabel Yates, .an English teacher

Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations* weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination."Ms.Yates paused and started crying a bit.Then she continued:"There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work.You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart."There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping; The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar

to encourage more reading among Chinese citizens.It comes to people's attention as more than 200,000 visitors flooded the store on its first day as a shared bookstore on July 16 this year,a record high since it was reopened to the public in 2013.Some 4,000 books were brought home on the first day, reported.Customers are allowed to borrow up to two books valued under 150 yuan per visit after registering with an app and paying the 99 yuan deposit fee(押金).All books on sale in the bookstore are available for sharing.Returned books that are damaged are sold at a discount.The bookstore also provides a bonus for bookworms.People who finish reading 12 books in three months receive eight percent of their deposit back,and members can be rewarded one yuan for every book read."We want to bring down the cost of reading so people could read more books,"Xu Xinwei,who helps run the bookstore,told .Some parents buy a lot of books for their children,but they usually end up collecting dust as

bookstore is considering offering a bonus for anyone who likes reading.DCan exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many decades later?Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain,in rats at least."This is an animal study,but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important一not just for physical development,but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive(认知的)development during ageing,"says Martin Wojtowicz of the University of Toronto,Canada."In humans,it may delay the appearance of Alzheimer's symptoms(阿兹海默氏症),possibly to the point of preventing them."Wojtowicz's team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups,and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks.Around four months later—when the rats had reached middle age—the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box.When placed in the box,they froze with fear.Two weeks later,the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room,the same box with the room arranged differently,and a completely different box in a different room.The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations,suggesting they couldn't remember which one was dangerous.But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.“The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we're young,at least for rats,has influence on brain and cognitive health—in the form of better memories—when we're older,"says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston,who has found that,in humans,exercise promotes the growth of new brain cells.32.The study shows that______.A.physical activity is important for physical healthing the running wheels is of benefit to the rats' growthC.physical activity can prevent human's Alzheimer's symptomsD.the more exercise a rat has when young,the better memory it will possess when older33.How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes.B.By giving an example.C.By describing the process.D.By showing differences.34.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Exercise.B.Development.C.Benefit.D.Study.35.What is the author's attitude towards the animal study?A.Negative.B.Objective.C.Critical.D.Doubtful.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。

通过生态移民,西海固成功实现脱贫,闽宁产业也实现了多元化,主要以菌类、葡萄酒、光伏、电子装配等为主。

下图是西海固、闽宁镇区位略图。

据此完成下面小题。

1. 生态移民对西海固的积极意义是( )A. 优化居住条件B. 改善人口结构C. 减轻生态压力D. 增加劳务收入2. 闽宁成为移民首选地的自然因素是( )A 地形和水源 B. 地形和降水 C. 气温和水源 D. 气温和降水3. 闽宁实现产业多元化的有利条件是( )①自然环境优美②劳动力数量多③产业协作基础好④银川辐射作用强A. ①③B. ①④C. ②③D. ②④【答案】1. C2. A3. D 【解析】【1题详解】生态移民是将生态环境严重破坏地区的部分人口迁出,从而减轻生态压力,C 项正确;生态移民可以改善迁移者的居住条件,但不是能改善西海固的居住条件,A错误;生态移民为整体搬迁,对人口结构影响较.小,B错误;不会增加西海固的劳务收入,D错误。

所以选C。

【2题详解】闽宁地形平坦,有黄河经过,因此闽宁成为移民首选地的自然因素是地形和水源,A正确;该地降水较少,B错误;区域气温差异较小,气温不是影响移民的主要因素,CD错误。

所以选A。

【3题详解】自然环境不是影响产业多元化的主要因素,①错误;闽宁接收生态移民,获得大量劳动力,②正确;闽宁经济发展水平较低,产业协作基础较差,③错误;距离银川较近,受银川的辐射作用较强,④正确。

所以选D。

【点睛】生态移民亦称环境移民系指原居住在自然保护区、生态环境严重破坏地区、生态脆弱区以及自然环境条件恶劣、基本不具备人类生存条件的地区的人口,搬离原来的居住地,在另外的地方定居并重建家园的人口迁移。
