While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his followers, “I am thirsty. Please get me some water from that lake there”.The follower walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing the lake right at the edge of it. As a result, the water became very muddy, very dirty. The follower thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?!” So he came back and told the Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink”.So, the Buddha said, let us take a little rest here by the tree. After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same follower to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The follower obediently (顺从地) went back to the lake. This time he found that the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to the Buddha.The Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the follower and said, “See, you let the water be and the mud settled down on its own. You got clear water. It didn’t require any effort”.Our mind is also like that. When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time and it will settle down on its own. You don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. We can judge the best decisions of our life when we stay calm.24. Why did Buddha asked his follower to collect water?A. Because they were travelling.B. Because they were passing a river.C. Because Buddha was too tired to go on.D. Because Buddha wanted a drink.25. What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?A. The tree.B. The lake.C. The mud.D. The pot.26. What can you infer about the follower?A. He is reliable and thoughtful.B. He is humorous and intelligent.C. He is hesitant and dependent.D. He is picky and impatient.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Trial and Error.B. Sometimes Just Let it Be.C. Buddha and His Follower.D. Efforts will Pay Off.CWhen I was trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays, I met by chance some cheap flights to Iceland. After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland, I realized that the country, known as the land of fire and ice, during the cold months of the year could offer me experiences I had never had before.For sure you can’t miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer. Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean is a paradise ( 乐园 ) for all those who want to see the northern lights, experience cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal ( 地热的 ) baths while the snow is falling on their head.The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car. Distances are huge and public transport in winter is not really common out of the major towns. As we wanted to be even more convenient we decided to rent a small camper ( 野营车 ). Sleeping and cooking in a camper saved us a lot of driving, money and gave us the chance to be always in the right place at the right time.There were also no locals and in many cases no tourist facilities (设备). For us, as we slept in a camper, it was easier. But for tourists traveling by normal cars it is necessary to check the opening times of hotels and restaurants as many of them run just from June to September.It is amazing to experience how the weather is changing in Iceland. However, Icelanders prefer to stay inside their houses. They have even no time to complain about the weather in December. All they care about is Christmas. They love to decorate their houses, sing Christmas songs and eat typical Christmas food.28. Why is Iceland famous as the land of fire and ice?A. Because tourists would like to play with fire on the ice.B. Because it is too dry to easily cause fire to happen.C. Because there exist hot springs and freezing ice.D. Because it is hot inside a house and cold outside.29. What did the author think of the rented camper?A. It was convenient but cost them more money.B. It was not only practical but also economical.C. It provided the best chance to see the new country.D. It was much faster than other public transport.30. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The joy of Christmas drives the freezing weather away.B. The Icelanders prefer to live with their family.C. December is the coldest month of the year.D. The Icelanders are always positive and stay outside.31.What does this passage most probably come from?A. A textbookB. A scientific reportC. A news reportD. A travel magazineDA research has shown that nearly 90 percent of traffic accidents are caused by human errors. So our aim is a fully autonomous car that gets rid of the cause of most accidents: the driver. Researcher Hod gson points out, “For safety, the faster you can remove humans, the better, even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes. It s a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are po tentially saved.”It’s an idea that Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car company Tesla Motors, has long believed. His company are determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle to consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla’s 2017 goal was “to do an example drive of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York…and have the car park itself.”However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome—the software needs further validation andthe appropriate regulatory approval needs to be in place. Indeed, recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn’t ready yet.The UK government appears committed to encouraging the development of autonomous vehicles. It’s supporting four city trials, publishing the Modem Transport Bill to reduce red tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take into account problems such as insurance liability when a human isn’t in control of a vehicle.The insurance industry is similarly eager to help increase autonomy in cars. As the Association of British Insurers (ABI) points out, “More than 90 percent of road accidents are caused by human error.” This costs motor insurers a shocking £20m per day in claims.32. What difficulty does the company Tesla Motors have?A. New inventions may cause more injuries and deaths.B. The company lacks confidence to make new creations.C. The software should be made officially acceptable.D. The traffic regulation has proved unreasonable.33. What is the UK government’s attitude to autonomous cars?A. Ambiguous.B. Positive.C. Cautious.D. Disapproving.34. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Insurance companies would like to support autonomous cars.B. Human mistakes may be the key cause of traffic accidents.C. Traffic accidents wastes insurance companies quite a lot.D. Motorists are surprised to hear about autonomous cars.35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To show his deep love for autonomous cars.B. To introduce a new development in technology.C. To amuse readers with funny examples.D. To provide a persuasive argument against autonomy.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。

Then he fell on his knees before Arthur. “Father, please do not kneel before me. Tell me what you mean!” Arthur said with great confusion.“Listen, then,” said Sir Ector. “Years ago the wise magician, Merlin, carried a baby in his arms. That baby was you. Merlin told me to bring you up as my own son. Now I can guess. You must be the late king King Uther’s son. Who else could have pulled out the sword Arthur, we must let all England know you are qualified to be the new king.”“I would rather be your son than be a king!” cried Arthur.“On Christmas the Bishop(主教) will give everyone a chance to pull the sword. You must take your turn and show everyone that you are the only person who can pull the sword out.”On Christmas Day the great crowd of knights(骑士) and lords gathered before the church. They pulled and pushed, but no one could make the sword move.Down the street came Merlin. Behind him came Sir Ector with Arthur. “Who are these men” asked the Bishop. “Here is one whowill try the sword,” said Merlin. He laid his hand on Arthur’s shoulder. “Here, lords of England, is the true son of King Uther!” Arthur stepped upon the stone and laid his hand on the sword. Smoothly and easily he pulled it out. He held it high so all could see.So Arthur became King of all England. Some of the lords did not want him, and he had to fight them. As the years went by, he became stronger and greater. Knights came from all lands to be in his court. At Camelot Arthur started the famous Knights of the Round Table. These were the greatest of all the knights. They made their names famous for all time.1.Sir Ector fell on his knees before Arthur because ______.A. Sir Ector wanted to ask for forgiveness from the new kingB. Merlin told Sir Ector to respect Arthur as if he were the KingC. Arthur pulled the sword out and Sir Ector knew who he wasD. Arthur was so powerful that Sir Ector admired him very much2.Arthur found it ______ when Sir Ector said he was qualified to be the new king.A. believableB. unacceptableC. enjoyableD. unchangeable3.What did Arthur do as King of all England according to the passageA.

Do American children wear school uniforms In fact, American schoolchildren often wear uniforms if they attend religious or other private schools. Most public schools do not require uniforms. But over the last ten years or so, more of them have moved in that direction, including high schools. Another option is that students may just have to dress alike — for example, white shirts and dark colored pants or skirts. Even schools that do not require uniforms generally have a dress rule about what they consider acceptable. Schools commonly forbid clothing that shows images or words causing displeasure, or simply too much skin. Hats may be forbidden because, for example, different colors may be connected with bad guys.Some parents like the idea of uniforms. Some say it means they do not have to spend much on clothing for their kids. Others, though, argue that uniforms represent an unnecessary cost.There are also debates about whether uniforms or other dress rules go against civil rights. Students and parents have taken legal action against school dress requirements. Several years ago, a middle school was asked to stop its dress rule unless families had a way out of it. The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California brought the case for the families of several students who had been punished by the school. Most attention centered on a girl who wore socks with the Tigger character from Winnie the Pooh. The school said its clothing policy, including no pictures of any kind, was needed to control a growing problem with gangs. The families argued that thepolicy went against free speech rights as protected by the United States and California constitutions.The United States Supreme Court says student expression is protected as long as it does not harm the work and the rule of a school. But some educators believe dressing alike helps improve student learning. They believe that uniforms help create a sense of unity and reduce the risk of fights. They also say uniforms make it easier for security reasons to tell if someone belongs to the school or not.1.According to the passage there is a trend in the USA that______.A. most public schools do not require uniformsB. most public schools move in the direction of requiring uniforms at churchC. most schools require the students to be dressed in whiteshirts and dark colored pantsD. more and more schools have a dress rule about what aresuitable for schoolchildren2.Which of the following is NOT a reaction mentioned to the dress ruleA. Some parents like the rule which means they could spend less on clothing for the kids.B. Some parents think the rule has nothing to do with them.C. Some parents say that uniforms are an extra cost for them.D. Some others argue that uniforms or other dress rules go against civil rights.3.What is the girl’s problemA. She brought her pet called Tigger to school.B. She put Tigger into her socks in class.C. She wore socks with pictures.D. She had a problem with some gangs.4.School dress requirements can benefit schools and students except to help ______.A. the court protect student expressionB. students focus on their studiesC. make a united effort to avoid fightsD. strengthen campus securityWhen one tried to unify gravity with quantum mechanics(量子力学), one had to introduce the idea of ‘imaginary’ time. If one can go forward in imaginary time, one ought to be able to turn round and go backward. This means that there can be no important difference between the forward and backward directions of imaginary time. Yet there is a big difference between the forward and backward directions of ‘real time’ in ordinary life. Imagine a cup of water falling off a table and breaking into pieces on the floor. If you take a film of this, you can easily tell whether it is being run forward or backward. You can tell that the film is being run backward because this kind of behavior is never observed in ordinary life.The explanation that is usually given as to why we don’t see broken cups gathering themselves together off the floor and jumping back onto the table is that it is forbidden by the second law of thermodynamics(热力学). This says that in any closed system disorder, or entropy(熵), always increases with time. In other words, it is a form of Murphy’s law: things always tend to go wrong! An intact cup on the table is a state of high order, but a broken cup on the floor is a disordered state. One can go readily from the cup on the tablein the past to the broken cup on the floor in the future, but not the other way round.The increase of disorder or entropy with time is one example of what is called an arrow of time, something that tells the past from the future, giving a direction to time. There are at least three different arrows of time. First, there is the thermodynamic arrow of time, the direction of time in which disorder or entropy increases. Then, there is the psychological arrow of time. This is the direction in which we feel time passes, the direction in which we remember the past but not the future. Finally, there is the cosmological arrow oftime. This is the direction of time in which the universe is expanding rather than contracting.1.How does ‘imaginary time’ differ from ‘real time’ according to the passageA. Imaginary time is more important than real time in science.B. Directions mean less to imaginary time than to real time.C. One can go backward in real time but can’t in imaginary time.D. It is harder to tell directions of real time than of imaginary time2.What’s the purpose of writing about a cup of water falling offa tableA. To define the forward and backward directions of real time.B. To tell the backward direction from the forward direction of real time.C. To show real time is more scientific than imaginary time in ordinary life.D. To prove there’s a big difference between the directions of real time.3.Why don’t we see broken cups gathering themselves together off the floor and jumping backonto the tableA. It doesn’t agree w ith the second law of thermodynamics.B. Things will quickly go wrong for entropy increases with time.C. There is an interchange between a state of high order and a disordered stateD. All above.4.The underlined word in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. universalB. physicalC. technologicalD. geographical二、七选五The past is good for two things: the happy memories, and the lessons it provides. Take some time to think and create two lists: One, your Top Five Most Important Lessons Learned in the Year. And two, your Top Five Favorite Memories of the Year. 1.Take some time to think2. But you just invested 8760 or so hours of your life in the previous year. To pull what is worth pulling from it, to give it proper perspective and proper closure, it surely deserves some of your focused conscious energy.3.Maybe you lost half your investments this year. Or your job. Or your house. Or you faced health challenges. You may dwell on the negative, self-defeating que stions like “How could I be so stupid” or “How could God let this happen to me” But a child doesn’t touch fire, get burned, and then spend the rest of his days – or even hours – thinking bitterly how this could have happened to him. He learns not to touch the fire and twenty minutes later he is happily playing again. 4.Don’t bang on the beehive（蜂窝）When discussing the past year I have already heard so many people stating how bad it was. I hear them recalling all the bad memories. It is like banging on a beehive. Because here is a universal law: whatever you seek, you will find plenty of. 5. Likewise, if you are focused on good memories, the beauty in the world, and things to feel grateful for, they will nourish your mind, your heart, and allow your life to blossom.A. Learn from the past experiencesB. First and foremost, bear in mind that the key aspect of this experience is to “take some time to think”.C. No matter how much you have invested, sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is let go.D. In today’s go-go faster-faster world, you may be attracted to rush through this experience, to treat it like another task to getoff your to-do list.E. Remember the wisdom of a childF. If you are focused on bad memories, problems, and things to complain about, they will drown your mind and your heart, and sting your life.G. Now before you race off to do this, read the rest that provides important perspective on doing this.三、完形填空Terry Fox never thought he’d live a great life.

“You shouldn’t change who you are. Let people get to know you first and your name later. When you meet someone new, ask them a good question, something you’re really interested in. Once people start talking about themselves, they don’t judge you.”

Hardcover $17.9912 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos- January 23, 2018by Jordan B_PetersonWhat does everyone in the modern world need to know? Famous psychologist Jordan B．P eterson’s answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the great findings of most-advanced scientific research.Hardcover $15.57How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading Revised Editionby Mortimer J. Adler, Charles Van DorenWith half a million copies in print, How to Read a Book is the best and most successful guide to reading comprehension for the general reader, completely rewritten and updated with new material. Originally published in 1940, this book is a rare phenomenon, a living classic that introduces and clarifies the various levels of reading and how to achieve them-from elementary reading, through systematic skimming and inspectional reading, to speed reading.Paperback $10.31Everybody, Always: Becoming Love in a World Full of Setbacks and Difficult People- April 17, 2018by Bob GoffPaperback $10.19What happens when we stop avoiding difficult people and simply love everyone? In his wildly entertaining and inspiring follow-up to the New York Times bestselling phenomenon Love Does, Bob Goff takes readers on a life-altering journey into the secret of living without fear, care, restriction, or worry.21．If you want to become an effective leader, you can try ________.A．How to Read a Book B．Everybody, AlwaysC．12 Rules for Life D．A Higher Loyalty22．What do we know about How to Read a Book?A．It is written by Mortimer J. Adler.B．It is completely the same as the original one.C．It has been published since 1940.D．There are many other books similar to it.23．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．All the four books are paperbacksB．Paperbacks are cheaper than hardbacksC．Jordan B．Peterson is the former FBI directorD．Bob Goff is a journalist of the New York TimesBMost of us have quite good memories, but our memories are limited. For example, we cannot remember everyone we have ever met or what we did on every single day of our lives. However, there are some people who do have prodigious memories. These people have a rare condition known as savant syndrome（学者症候群）. Savants suffer from a developmental disorder, but they also exhibit great talents that contrast（显出差异）sharply with their physical and mental disabilities.Kim Peek (1951-2009) was a savant who lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the United States. He was born with damage to parts of his brain, but it seemed that other parts of his brain, particularly those relating to memory, became over-developed.Peek’s unique abilities appeared at a very early a ge. When he was just 20 monthsold, he could already remember every book that was read to him. Peek could read two pages of a book at the same time-one page with the right eye and one with the left-in less than 10 seconds and remember everything he read. By the time he died, Peek had memorized more than 9,000 books. He could remember all the names and numbers in a variety of telephone books. He could remember thousands of facts about history, literature, geography and sports.Dr. David Treffert, an expert o n savant syndrome, once described Peek as “a living Google” because of his astonishing ability to memorize and connect facts. However, at the same time, Peek was unable to carry out simple tasks, such as brushing his hair or getting dressed, and he needed others to help him. In 1989, the movie Rain Man won the Oscar for best Picture. The main character in the movie, played by Dustin Hoffman, was based on Kim Peek's life. He started to appear on television, where he would amaze audiences by correctly answering difficult questions on different topics. Peek-became world famous, and he and his father began touring widely to talk about overcoming disabilities. He inspired a great many people with his words. “Recognizing and respecting differences in others, and treating everyone in the way you want them to treat you, will make our world a better place for everyone. Everyone is different.”24．The underlined word “prodigious” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.A．happy B．clear. C．amazing D．short25．According to the text, Peek ______.A．could take care of himselfB．was born with a good memoryC．was the student of Dr. David TreffertD．became brain-damaged at 20 months old26．How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A．By giving facts. B．By following time order.C．By explaining causes. D．By making comparisons.27．Peek’s words suggest that we should ______.A．respect different cultures B．listen to different opinionsC．treat different people differently D．respect others’ differen cesCThe end of the school year is in sight - Christmas cards, candy canes and of course, end of year reports．While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids' performance, they do not expect their own input to be evaluated. But a school in the UK is changing that. As well as assessing their students, they are dishing out grades to mums and dads. Parents that are really involved in their kids' education are rewarded with an A, and parents that haven't done their bit get a disappointing D．The school, Greasley Beauvale Primary in Nottinghamshire, uses standard such as whether mums and dads have attended school events such as plays and parent teacher evenings to decide on the grade. The school's principal, Donna Chambers, said that the scheme had been well received．“There were some critics. In spite of it, between 15 percent and 20 percent of parents started out in the lower categories but now that has been reduced to just two per cent,” she explained．Chambers hopes that the scheme will help motivate parental involvement. “The system is important because you have got to get the parents on board from day one. That one hour initial conversation saying they could improve will make a difference to the rest of that child's academic life”, she said．But while the scheme may be well intentioned, it is likely to be connected with parent shaming. There are lots of reasons why some mums and dads might not be involved in school activities such as work commitments, looking after younger children or caring for elderly relatives．And of course, being involved in your kid's education doesn't begin and end at school. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes from helping with homework to keeping uniforms freshly laundered. And what about all the parents who stayed up sewing special costumes at the last minute? Surely that earns a gold star instead of a grade!28．What do schools usually do at the end of the school year？ ______A．Evaluating kids' performances．B．Making Christmas cards．C．Dividing candies．D．Grading parents．29．What does the school's principal Chambers say about the scheme？ ______ A．It uses a new way to evaluate kids．B．It has gained much acceptance．C．It gives parents further education．D．It improves kids' motivation for learning．30．What does the author think of parents being involved in kids' education？ ______ A．It adds to parents' burden．B．It brings shame to parents．C．It means far more than being graded．D．It increases parents' commitment to education．31．What is the passage mainly about？ ______A．There is too much stress for parents about their children's academic life．B．Parents as well as their children are on the list of the year school report．C．Parents should be involved in children's school life．D．Whether a parent is excellent depends on the grade he gets．DViolette Childe, 67, is a dining companion who helps serve patients lunches. The role was introduced ten years ago by a dietitian concerning that some patients were not eating their meals.“Many of our patients are elderly and can b e confused by the noisy, busy environment of the hospital and so won’t focus on eating.” explains Yvonne Donglas-Morris, head of volunteering, who oversees the activities of all 528 of the trusty volunteers. “Staff are busy with the clinical side of things, so the dining companions were introduced. They will assist the patients and encourage them to eat.”Violette, a retired library manager, has been helping out for six years. “It makes me feel a bit more complete,” she says simply. “Helping with the meals freesup the nurses to get on with other things. I believe in being a part of the community and this hospital is part of my community.”Another key role is played by the discharge volunteers, who offer support to the elderly, especially those aged 70 and over-leaving hospital to return to an empty home. The team has a budget of ￡10 per person and will pop to the shops and buy milk, bread and a meal to tide them over for the first few hours. They then call the patients regularly, for as long as they need, to check how they are getting on and if they need extra support.The volunteers in Kingston work from a dedicated office-a small room in one of the buildings on the hospital grounds, where a Christmas tree decorated with baubles (小饰物) bearing the faces of vo lunteers sits in the corner. “All the volunteers come and gather here, it gets very busy at times,” smiles Nicola Hutin, 67, a discharge support volunteer. A mother of two, and grandmother of four, she was a membership coordinator (协调员) for a trade association until she retired, and has since volunteered at the hospital one morning a week for 18 months.32．What can we learn about dining companions?A．Their working conditions are noisy.B．They are great assistants for doctors.C．They often make patients more nervous.D．The occupation existed more than ten years ago.33．What does Violette think of her work?A．She finds it tiring and boring.B．She finds it easy to complete her work.C．She believes it gives her a sense of belonging.D．She believes helping patients with meals is to free up the community. 34．What does a discharge volunteer do for the patients?A．Raise money for the elderly.B．Pay a visit to them at home.C．Buy daily necessities for them.D．Ring to check their health condition.35．Which of the following can best describe the theme of the text?A．It is never too old to learn.B．Many hands make light work.C．Health is better than wealth.D．God helps those who help themselves.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。
