I decided to take a walk even though I didn't know where I would go. The most extraordinary thing happened when I was out on this walk. I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. He seemed so tired and nobody was buying his shoes.I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me. Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say, "Grandfather, may I polish your shoes?" That old man took pity on her, smiled and he gave her a shoe to polish. The girl said, "I polish the shoe because I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform." The old man answered, "Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform."Then they walked to a market (I followed behind) and he bought her a uniform. The girl was so happy. She said, "Thank you so much for doing this." Then she left, leaving the old man smiling. He walked away from the market, but I stopped him.I whispered in his ear, "You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness!" As I walked away, I glanced back and I could see him still smiling. I was blown away by the kindness I had just seen. Someone who had so little himself was able to show such incredible generosity! Amazing!My own sadness had completely disappeared, chased away by the light of this kind act. I began realizing that I have a lot to be thankful for.4.

Even though one has little, he should try to help others.C“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”“Two full inches in the first three days！”These are the kinds of statements used in magazine，newspaper，radio and television ads，promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device.The promoters of such products say they can shape the legs，slim the face，smooth wrinkles，or in some other way add to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than moneymaking things for their promoters.The results they produce are questionable，and some are dangerous to health. To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public，it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation.If the product is a drug，FDA (Food and Drug Administration) can require proof(证明) under the Food，Drug，and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market.But if the product is a device，FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already on the market is a danger to health，FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily，or it can take legal action，including seizure(查封) of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor，which had been sold for reducing the waistline.The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the devices on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously，most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼)，and new devices appear continually. Before buying，it is up to judge the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.8．It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are ________. A．optimistic B．costly C．unreliable D．illegal9．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?________A．The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.B．New products are more likely to be questionable.C．The production of a device must be approved by FDA.D．The promoters usually just care about profits.10．The Relaxacisor is mentioned as ________.A．a product which was designed to produce electricityB．a product whose distributor was involved in a legal caseC．a successful advertisement of a beauty productD．an example of a quality beauty product11．The author intends to ________.A．make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promisesB．show the weakness of the law on product safetyC．give advice on how to keep young and beautifulD．introduce the organization of FDADDriverless technology will soon enter another major global industry: shipping. Several companies recently announced plans to launch self-sailing ships to improve safety and efficiency.One of them is Norwegian chemical company Yara International. Yara has designedto build an autonomous ship expected to launch next year. The ship is fully electricto reduce air pollution. It is designed to carry containers normally transported by truck. This means the ship will also improve road safety by replacing about 40,000 truck trips a year.Yara plans to operate the ships by remote control beginning sometime next year.By 2020, the ships should be loading and sailing themselves. Another company focusingon self-sailing sh ips is the world’s largest mining company, Australia’s BHP Billiton. The company’s Vice President of Freight, Rashpal Bhatti, recently spoke about the technology. He said, “I believe automation will be one of the biggest changes for shipping in the future.” Autonomous ships offer important chances to improve safety and provide better efficiency outcomes to the marine supply chain.”He added that self-sailing ships could become a reality within the next decade.Rolls-Royce, the British automobile and engine manufacturer, is also developing unmanned shipping technologies. Oskar Levander is the company’s head of marine operations. He told a conference last year, “This is happening. It’s not if, it’s when.”Several shipping companies have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to developself-sailing ships expected to be used by 2025. These ships will be equipped with technology to collect weather and sea data. They will then use the data to plan outthe safest, shortest and most fuel-efficient route.12. What advantages does the driverless ship have according to the passage?_____A. Environmental friendly.B. Without noise.C. Low cost.D. Having stronger ship body.13. What can we learn from paragraph 3?A. Australia’s BHP Billiton is the world’s largest ship company._______B. The ships will work almost automatically by 2020.C. Bhatti isn’t sure of the future of driverless ship.D. Self-sailing ships will be used in a couple of years.14. What attitude does Oskar Levander have to the new driverless ship?________A. Unsure.B. Doubtful.C. Sure.D. Objective.15. Where is probably the passage taken from?______A. A physics textbook.B. A travel booklet.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.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。

It is suitable for swimming and bathing. Therefore, the Red Sea attracts lots of tourists.However, why is the Red Sea believed to be called the Red Sea? There is a variety of reasons. One popular eplanation is due to the fact that it is so close to the Egyptian desert, which was once called the Dashret, meaning “red land” by ancient Egyptia ns. It would have been nown as the sea of the red land.Modern scholars believe that a liely eplanation of the name comes from the fact that some Asiatic languages use colors to refer to directions. It is liely that “red” refers to “south”, which is the direction that the Red Sea points to. This theory is emphasied by the Blac Sea which points north and it is said that blac was once a word for north. There is also Yellow Sea and White Sea.The origin of the name of the sea is not eactly nown as the sea water is not red in color. Its water is mainly blue. However, in some of the most beautiful places on the Red Sea, the water appears red.The Red Sea is surrounded by reddish mineral-rich mountains. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate （蒸发）quicly, which means the remaining water has a high salt content, so the Red Sea is also called the Salt Sea. These conditions are suitable for a type of algae（海藻）to grow. The algae are red in color, and since there are so many of them, they mae the water in the Red Sea appear red.Besides, sandstorms from the Sahara Desert also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and the surrounding areas, maing it loo much redder. After a sandstorm, everything is coated with red sand, creatinga unique and beautiful scene.8. What’s the best title of the passage?A. The Red SeaB. How the Red Sea FormedC.

AGetting late for a meeting, “I need to run,” he said, as he put his coat over the sh oulder and rushed out of the house. As he drove away, she came running down the stairs two at a time. “Wait, wait,” she shouted, but he had already left.“He forgot to give me a goodbye kiss,” she said in a low, sad voice that shook under the weight of the hurt. She called him and said, “You left without giving me a kiss.” “I am sorry, sweetheart,” he said, his voice shaking. “It is okay,” she said, trying to be all grown-up as she cut the call.She ate her breakfast quickly, put on her shoes, picked up her school bag and started to walk out of the door. Her shoulders were slumped(耷拉) and her eyes were filled with tears. As she climbed down the steps, a car came to a stop outside the house. He got out of the car. She ran to him.“I am sorry I forgot,” he sai d, as he picked her up and hugged her. She said nothing. Her jaw ached from smiling.Fifteen years later, no one would remember he was late for a meeting, but a little girl would never forget that her father drove all the way back home just to kiss her goodbye!What is more important, work or family? Some parents always put work before everything. But some put family first. Remember, the company will run the same without you and your colleagues(同事) may forget you soon after you leave. But you are everything to your children.1．The girl ran down the stairs fast to ________.A．go to school on time B．go to a meeting on timeC．get a goodbye kiss D．say goodbye to her father2．How did the girl probably feel after she cut the call?A．Frightened. B．Disappointed. C．Worried. D．Angry.3．The passage is meant to suggest that parents ________.A．put their children firstB．pay less attention to workC．work hard to support the familyD．keep a balance between work and familyBAccording to a new US study，couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.The research by Angelina Grigoryeva，from Princeton University，found that，while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage，men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 old Americans concluded that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco，she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study，a study which has been tracking a crosssection of over50s for the last decade，she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.“Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister，while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”“This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.”In the UK，the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities，a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.But many are doing so at the risk of their health.

I got so into my work that I even didn’t noticed Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine.

So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get outof my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose.

I was frustrated by everything that was going on around me.I was mad and confused about everyone especially when I saw a young girl walking through the store holding her grandmother’s hand. The little girl was begging her grandmother for ice cream just like I used to when I was young. I was jealous of the little girl, because she had something I didn’t have anymore — a grandmother by her side.I had to force myself to ignore the little girl. She was just too happy for me and that was unacceptable at that time in my world.I went to the cash register to pay for my things. It was then that my anger quickly shifted from the little girl to the cashier. She took my things toanother register. When the cashier gave me my change I didn’t say thank you. I simply took my change and left.Feeling tired and hopeless, I began walking to my car. As I stood in a public parking lot a million questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Aren’t we supposed to get signs from the people that passed on? Why didn’t I feel her presence anymore?Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window. “Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,” she said loudly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simply pointed to my car. “No, excuse me,” she said again.Then I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted. She reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet. “It looks like that you need this,” she said calmly with a smile on her face.I looked down at the used booklet and there were some big bold letters on the front cover reading, “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?” By the time I looked up she had gone.I felt a sense of relaxation as I read the first page. It explained how people pass on and that their spirit remains with us. It was the first time since my grandmother passed away that I had felt her with me.

It is suitable for swimming and bathing. Therefore, the Red Sea attracts lots of tourists.However, why is the Red Sea believed to be called the Red Sea? There is a variety of reasons. One popular explanation is due to the fact that it is so close to the Egyptian desert, which was once called the Dashret, meaning “red land” by ancient Egyptians. It would have been known as the sea of the red land.Modern Asiatic languages use colors to refer to directions. It is lik ely that “red” refers to “south”,which is the direction that the Red Sea points to. This theory is emphasized by the Black Sea which points north and it is said that black was once a word for north. There is also Yellow Sea and White Sea.The origin of the name of the sea is not exactly known as the sea water is not red in color. Its water is mainly blue. However, in some of the most beautiful places on the Red Sea, the water appears red.The Red Sea is surrounded by reddish mineral-rich mountains. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate （蒸发）quickly, which means the remaining water has a high salt content, so the Red Sea is also called the Salt Sea. These conditions are suitable for a type of algae（海藻）to grow. The algae are red in color, and since there are so many of them, they make the water in the Red Sea appear red.Besides, sandstorms from the Sahara Desert also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and the surrounding areas, making it look much redder. After a sandstorm, everything is coated with red sand, creating a unique and beautiful scene.8. What’s the best title of the passage?A. The Red SeaB. How the Red Sea FormedC. The history of the Red SeaD. Why is the Red Sea Red?9. which of the following colors probably refers to north according to the passage?A. Black.B. Yellow.C. White.D. Red.10. The Red Sea is surrounded by ________.A. valleys.B. mountains.C. the Sahara Desert.D. Sandstorms.11. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. White Sea points to the south.B. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate slowly.C. The algae are red in color and large in quantity, which makes the waterin the-Red Sea appear red.D. Sandstorms from Asia also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and thesurrounding areas, making it look much redder.DDriverless cars are the best-known example of how artificial intelligence is influencing daily life in China, according to a new report on social attitudes toward AI technology that was released at Fudan University on May 17.th over 67 percent having access to both positive and negative information on cars. About 62 percent of the respondents said they were willing to ride in driverless cars. Meanwhile, around 47 percent were supportive of unmanned vehicle road tests in the country. However, more than 30 percent of t he respondents expressed their concerns about the safety of driverless cars.If personal injuries or property loss are suffered in the event of an accident, 80.5 percent of the respondents said that the designers of the AI products should bear legal responsibility while 55.5 percent said that vehicle users should also shoulder the blame.Smart cars with partial or fully autonomous functions are expected to account for 50 percent of new vehicles sold in China12. What do we know about the responses of 625 questionnaires?A. More than half of the people surveyed were willing to ride in driverless cars.B. Nearly 90% knew both positive and negative information on cars.C. Unmanned vehicle road tests were hardly supported in the country.D. Few people were concerned about the safety of driverless cars.13.

AGood evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Roy, and this is my show. This is a television show for all families, and I know you'll enjoy it.Let's start with a story.Once there was a proud pig on a farm. He thought he was the most important of all the animals on the farm. But it was not enough that he himself thought this. He had to be sure that other animals thought it, too. So he went up to a chicken and asked,"Who is the most important animal on the farm?" The chicken answered, " You are, Mr Pig." Then he asked a dog, and he got the same reply.Next, he asked a cow. When the cow seemed uncertain of the right answer, the pig looked angry, and showed his teeth." Oh, you are, of course, Mr Pig," said the cow. " Of course," the pig said, " there is no doubt about it."At last the pig asked a big horse the same question. The horse lifted one foot, rolled the pig over and placed his foot on the pig's head. "I think you know the answer now," said the horse.1.The Roy show is _____.A. a family show on TVB. for kids onlyC. a sports showD. a style show2.When the pig asked a dog, the dog _____.A. said nothingB. said the pig was the most importantC. laughed a lotD. said the pig was as important as the horse3.The horse thought _____ was the most important on the farm.A.nobodyB. the pigC. the cowD. he himself4.What's the best title of this passage?A. A Pig and a CowB. A FarmC. The Most Important AnimalD. The AnimalsBThere were once two brothers who lived on the 80th floor. On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay（沮丧）that the lifts were not working and they had to climb the stairs to get home. After struggling to the 20th floor, panting and tired, they decided to abandon（放弃）their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags and climbed on.When they struggled to the 40th floor, the younger brother started to grumble（抱怨）and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.They then realized that they had only 20 more floors to climb, and they decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at last. Each stood calmly and waited for the other to open the door. They then realized that the key was in one of their bags, which were left on the 20th floor.This story is a reflection（折射）on our lives. Many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when we are young. We seldom get to do the things that we really love. By the age of 20, we are under so much pressure and stress that we get tired and decide to dump this load（负荷）.Freed from this load, we work enthusiastically（激情地）and have ambitious （有抱负的）dreams. But by the time we reach 40, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We begin to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live miserable lives, as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left to complain about, and we begin to walk the final episode in peace and calmness.We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only the realization that we cannot rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream 一a dream we abandoned many years ago.5. Where did the two brothers leave their bags?A. On the first floor.B. On the 20th floor.C. On the 40th floor.D. On the 60th floor.6. The two brothers quarreled ________.A. from the 20th floor to the 40th floorB. from the 40th floor to the 60th floorC. from the 60th floor to the 80th floorD. from the first floor to the 80th floor7. In the passage, the author compared our ages to ________.A. floorsB. liftsC. stepsD. bags8. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Don’t Lose Your WayB. Always Take Your KeyC. Don’t Abandon Your DreamD. Hard Work Leads to SuccessCWelcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people at your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells(细胞) in your body. The particles can be programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern（样式）.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says s cientist Andrew Zolli ,“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?9. We can learn from the text that in the future__________.A . people will never get old B. everyone will look the sameC. clothes will be able to change their patternD. red will be the most popular color10. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Milk will be harmful to health.B. More drinks will be given for sale.C. Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.D. Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.11. Which of the following is mentioned in the text?A. Nothing can replace the Internet.B. Fridges will know what people need.C. Jacket sleeves can be used as a guide.D. Cars will be able to drive automatically（自动地）.12. What is the text mainly about?A. Food and clothing in 2035B. Future technology in everyday life.C. Medical treatments of the future.D. The reason for the success of new technology.DShopping in the United States changes a lot．About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family．Women went from the bakery to the butcher’s, to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week．Then, about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born．In a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores．The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall．A shopping mall is groups of stores under one roof．Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular．The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping．If you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee．Malls are places for teenagers to hang out．Many teens will often just “go to the mall” and spend time with their friends．The recent change in American shopping was the superstore．Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Office Depot and Toys“R”Us have been built all across the United States．Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smallerstores．Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close．They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors．And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States．People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the Internet．Online shopping has lots of advantages．For example, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day．Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores．While, online shopping also has its disadvantages．People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the businessman than in a physical store．And privacy(私密) of personal information may be let out．13. Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States?①. Small stores ②. Superstores ③. Shopping malls④. Shopping online ⑤. SupermarketsA. ①②③④⑤B.①⑤②③④C.②③④①⑤D.①⑤③②④14.Which is the place for people to spend time with others according to the passage?A. Small storesB. Shopping mallsC. Supermarkets.D. Superstores．15.
