Her dad, Sgt. Carlos Solis Melendez, surprised her by coming home early from Kuwait and visiting her unannounced at Spring Valley High School in South Carolina. After serving in Kuwait for nine months, Melendez returned home a week earlier than his daughter expected. He held balloons and flowers in a classroom as he sat at a student‟s desk to blend in with the crowd. “It came across my mind like, …How is she going to react？‟”he recalled the heartwarming momen t. “Is she going to be happy and run to me and hug me, or cry？ That was all going on through my mind.” As unsuspecting Solymar entered the classroom, she was soon overcome with emotion, immediately bursting into tears and covering her mouth. She didn‟t talk. She was just crying. She was overwhelmed with everything. She thought it was a dream. Melendez was a single parent so while he was deployed（调动）, he got his sister to live with his daughter. When he was coming back and talking to his sister, both of them came to the conclusion that they should do something special for his daughter. Melendez and his sister got in touch with the school, and they planned this whole being-in-the-classroom thing, and it turned out perfect. The two are very much looking forward to some good daddy-daughter time now that he‟s home. “It means everything,” Melendez said of being able to surprise his daughter this way. “After all the sacrifices she‟s made, she deserves all the special arrangements and specialoccasions and celebrations. I‟ll do anything for my daughter. I believe I‟m doing good parenting.”24.How did Solymar feel at first when entering the classroom？A.She was eager to hug her father.B. She felt everything was as usual.C. She got excited at seeing her father.D. She was surprised by what she saw.25.What was Melendez‟s attitude to the surprise？A.Content.B. Astonished.C. T ouched.D. Upset.26.Why did Melendez plan the surprise for Solymar？A.To get involved in her school life.B. To show his concern for her in a special way.C. To builda strong emotional bond with her. D. T o make up for what she lost in her growth.27.What can be the best title for the passage？A.Father‟s Selfless Love for His Daughter.B. Girl Expecting the Returning of Her DadC. Girl Surprised at School by Her Dad‟s Return.D. Father and Daughter‟s Expected ReunionCHave you ever been given something you don‟t like or doesn‟t fit, but you don‟t want to hurt the feelings of the person who thinks about you？You‟re not alone. Everyone has received an unwanted gift at least once in his or her life. That doesn‟t mean the item is bad or useless. It simply means that it doesn‟t work for you. If you find yourself with something nice but that doesn‟t fit into your lifestyle, consider regifting it. Before you do that, make sure you understand that regifting is becoming more and more common because people find it difficult to make ends meet. There are specific things you should do to an item. Failure to do any of them may create an awkward situation. You never have to lie about what you are doing, but you don‟t want to be in the position of having to explain anything. For example, removethe original wrapping paper and rewrap it in your own; make sure the box is in good condition so the item doesn‟t appear used; check the item and make sure there are no cards or names on the packaging; inspect the item and make sure it is in excellent condition. When you get ready for regifting, consider having a white elephant gift exchange for your next celebration. This removes all the embarrassment of being caught regifting because that‟s the whole purpose of the event. In order to prevent hurting feelings, provide everyone with a guest list and ask them not to bring anything given by the people on that list.28.Why does the author begin the passage with a question？A.To share a hot phenomenon.B. To introduce the following part.C. To ask for readers‟answers.D. T o point out a common opinion.29.What most contributes to the growing regifting？A.People‟s lack of money.B. People‟s dislike of the gifts.C. People‟s reduced desire for gifts.D. People‟s understanding of its manners.30.What‟s mainly talked about in Paragraph 3？A. What to do before regifting. B. How to make use of unwanted gifts. C. What kind of gifts to be regifted. D. Why regifting can cause embarrassment.31.What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean？A.Suitable but valueless.B. Expensive and useful.C. Packaged and invaluable.D. Nice but unsuitable.DSometimes,you just can't help it. Maybe you're watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks. Why do people cry when they areemotional？What are tears？Scientists are working hard to find the answers to these questions. Ad Vingerhoets is a professor of psychology at Tilburg University,in the Netherlands. He is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying. According to Vingerhoets,there are three types of tears. Basal（基础的）tears are the first type. They act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest of the world. Next are reflex（反射作用的）tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears. "These are released in response to emotional states," explains Vingerhoets, "Especially when we feel helplessness." Scientists believe that crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. "Humans are very complex social creatures, "says Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania. "It seems that tears serve to draw help and support from others." She says another reason we weep is that humans have the longest developmental period of almost any animal. It takes a long time to grow up. Vingerhoets agrees. "I think that the reason why humans cry emotional tears has to do with our prolonged （延长的）childhood," he says. "That's the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care. The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person." Vingerhoets says this ability to target someone could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Loud crying could attract predators（捕食者）. Tears were a safer way to get attention." In this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help," he says. Vingerhoets and Bylsma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry. According to Byhma, there is still much more to discover. "It's surprising," she says, "how much we still don‟t know.”32.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to？ A.Weeping tears. B.Missing a。

To honor the meaningful trip.B. To show her love to her husband.C. To help children find faith and purpose.D. To make children understand David's story.10.How did the album benefit Gifford？______A. It made her become a superstar.B. It made her win lots of trophies.C. It helped her plan to have a trip to the Holy Land.D. It helped her recover from the pain of losing Frank.11.What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 6 refer to？______A. The visitors.B. The stones.C. The trophies.D. The trips.12.What do we know from the text？______A. David was the hero of many children.B. Gifford finished recording the album in 2012.C. Frank had won much glory when he was alive.D. The author liked Gifford's songs very much.CWe humans love to stare into our smart devices.We gaze for hours-about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day-at our computers,smartphones,tablets and televisions.Is all this staring bad for us？It might be,mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength thatproduces a high amount of energy.While it's true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances,there's no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes.But many people still think it is,which is why blue light-blocking glasses are so popular.So do the glasses work？"Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye,but there's no evidence that it may be causing serious damage," Dr.Rahul Khurana,clinicalspokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology,told Business Insider.Blue light exposure is nothing new.In fact,the sun is the largest source of bluelight.Moreover,blue light is also present in LED lights.But if blue light isn't harmful,then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we're looking at our screens？The answer is eyestrain（眼疲劳）：More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain.And blue light,it seems,isn't the cause.Instead,our eyes are sostrained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices.So if eyestrain is the real issue,blue light-blocking glasses are probably of little use.13.What do we know about blue light？______A. It is a kind of nuclear radiation.B. It has the shortest wavelength.C. It may come from electronic devices.D. It consumes a great deal of energy.14.What causes the popularity of blue light-blocking glasses？______A. Evidence of their benefits to eyes.B. Belief in blue light's harmful effect.C. Widespread use of smart devices.D. Scientific understanding of blue light.15.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4？______A. Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.B. Eye problems are not easy to deal with.C. Blue light may connect with tired eyes.D. Rubbing eyes makes people strained.16.According to the text,wearing blue light-blocking glasses may be ______ .A. tiringB. harmfulC. uselessD. beneficial三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）I just counted how many foreign languages I've studied so far in my life and it's beentwelve!I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things I'malready interested in.I like to read blogs （博客）in other languages. (1) .For the most part,bloggers tend to write the same way they speak,so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.Movies are also a really good tool,especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning. (2) ，they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language.Music is another way to start listening to things in your newlanguage.Personally,I'm so bad at understanding lyrics（歌词）even in English,so this one doesn't really work for me,but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics.Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language.A lot of language learning computer programs include games.I'm super competitive and if I play any of them,I can be hooked for hours. (3) .When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade,it can be hard to stick with it.The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood.I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian. (4) .Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam.Each time I start getting self-satisfied,it's time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons,or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.(5) .The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course atuniversity where my professor never used any English.It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class,which helped me to reallyimmerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.A.That's really uncomfortableB.Whatever languages they're translated intoC.I also try to think in the language I'm learningD.It's time well spent if I'm learning the languageputer games always make me feel worn outF.Though they don't always exactly match what's being saidG.I found them the perfect learning tool because they're usually written in oral language17.

The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their Phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions."The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use," Twenge said. "Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness."Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU. S.teens. Specifically, young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That's the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens' lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep.4. Which method did Twenge's team use for the study?A. Calculating students' happiness.B. Asking students certain questions.C. Analyzing data from a survey.D. Doing experiments on screen time.5. How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3?A. By making a comparison.B. By giving an example.C. By making an argument.D. By introducing a concept.6. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A To draw a conclusion from the study.B. To offer some advice to the readers.C. To prove social activities' importance.D. To support the researchers' finding.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Quitting Phones Equals HappinessB. Screen Time Should Be BannedC. Teens' Lives Have Changed SharplyD. Screen-addicted Teens Are UnhappierCCoke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886, making it a rather true andtested favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries. This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.. Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂). If you have a bunch of small rusty objects, put them in coke overnight and give them a goodscrubin the morning. Coke helps to break down the rust, making cleaning much easier. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.. Like the previous item, the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is especially useful for car windows. Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window, then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink. As coke is fullof sugar, you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.. For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time, one can of coke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down. If you have been sprayed, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke — wait for a few minutes, then wash yourself with a shower. Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!. Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom. The black is almost impossible to remove; this is caused by over-cooking. To remove the black and renew your pot, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat. After an hour or so, wash the pot as normal.8. What does the underlined word “scrub”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Start.B. Cleaning.C. Shake.D. Example.9. What is important while using coke to clean car windows?A. Use a dry cloth.B. Rub the window lightly.C. Don’t pour too much coke.D. Clean the sugary matter thoroughly.10. For which purpose does coke have to be mixed with other material?A. To get rid of the black on the pot.B. To breakdown the rust,C. To remove smells.D. To clean windows.11. What type of writing is this text?A. An advertisement.B. A review.C. A news report.D. A practical guide.DJon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a businessman for a life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.Pedley admits that he has notalways led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting, ” says Pedley.But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car — and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and education facilities for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.12. Which of the following best describes Pedley’s life in the past?A. Negative.B. Colorful.C. Independent.D. Selfish.13. What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village?A. Do business with the local people.B. Help farmers increase potato output.C. Assist villagers with construction work.D. Introduce tools to improve English teaching.14. Why will Pedley work with English teenagers in trouble?A. To encourage them to make friends with locals.B. To inspire them to live a more positive life.C. To train them to become doctors in the future.D. To make them learn about different cultures.15. What is the best title for the text?A. From millionaire to mud hutB. A life-changing adventureC. A rich man becoming homelessD. More money, more worries第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AAt a click of mouse consumers can purchase the goods and service they need at online shops.What they have to do is waiting for the goods sent to their homes.We shall all be grateful to the pioneers of online shopping for bringing us such convenience.Michael Aldrich（the UK）Online shopping was invented and pioneered by Michael Aldrich in the UK.In 1979 he connected a television via a telephone line to a real-time multi-user transaction（交易）processing computer.He sold mainly Business-to-Business systems.There were a number of significant world firsts with new applications in several business fields.Jeff Bezos（the USA）高三英语科试卷第- 4 -页（共12页）Jeff Bezos defined online shopping and rewrote the rules of commerce.Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web server and browser（浏览器）in 1990.In 1994,Jeff Bezos read an article about how the World Wide Web was growing by 2,300 percent a year.He knew he had to tap into such a great potential for commerce.On July 6,1995, Bezos launched Amazon,com,which operated out of the garage of his two bedroom home in suburban Seattle, Washington.With almost no publicity,sales took off immediately.The company has now expanded into dozens of product categories,forcing the world’s biggest retailer（零售商）to rethink their business models,and finally changing the way people shop.Jack Ma（China）As a child,Jack Ma was bad at maths but fascinated by English.He travelled to the United States in 1995 as a translator to help a Chinese firm recover payment.The attempt failed.But a friend in Seattle showed Ma the Internet, and an idea began brewing.In 1999,Mr Ma gathered 17 friends and founded Alibaba in his apartment in Hangzhou.Alibaba’s model was simple:allow small and medium-sized Chinese companies to find global buyers they would otherwise only be able to meet at trade shows.It works brilliantly.Alibaba’s sales are now more than those of eBay and Amazon combined.21.What made a success?A.Business-to-Business systems.B.The World Wide Web server and browsermercial publicity.D.Help from retailers.22.How did Jack Ma have the idea of founding Alibaba?A.A translator helped him.B.A Chinese firm inspired him.C.He was introduced to the Internet.D.He was funded by some companies.高三英语科试卷第- 5 -页（共12页）23.What do the pioneers have in common?A.They have improved computers.B.They have sold goods worldwide.C.They have enlarged product categories.D.They have contributed to online shopping.BMy son Leon’s passion for surfing began at the age of 13. After school each day, he put on his wet suit, paddled out beyond the surf line and waited to be challenged by his companions.One afternoon, the lifeguard reported over the phone to my husband Wilson that Leon’s eye was badly injured by his board. Wilson rushed him to the emergency room. He received 26 stitches (缝针) from the corner of his eye to the bridge of his nose.I was on an airplane flying home. Wilson drove directly to the airport after they left the doctor’s office. He greeted me at the gate and told me Leon was waiting in the car.“Leon?” I questioned. I remember thinking the waves must have been terrible that day.“He’s been in an accident, but he’s going to be fine.”A traveling working mother’s worst nightmare had come true. I ran to the car so fast that the heel of my shoe broke off. I swung open the door, and my son with the patched eye was leaning forward crying, “Oh, Ma, I’m so glad you’re home.”I cried in his arms telling him how awful I felt about not being with him.高三英语科试卷第- 6 -页（共12页）“It’s okay, Mom,” he comforted me. “You don’t know how to surf anyway.”“What?” I asked, confused by his logic.“I’ll be fine. The doctor says I can go back in the water in eight days.”I wanted to tell him he wasn’t allowed to go near water again until he was 35, but instead I bit my tongue and prayed he would forget about surfing.For the next seven days he kept pressing me to let him surf again. One day after I had repeated “No” to him for the 100th time, he beat me at my own game.“Mom, you taught us never to give up what we love.”I gave in.Back then Leon was just a boy with a passion for surfing.

You live in a big city and want to visit your best friend, a five-minute walk away, and then you can go to the park, another 10 minutes’ walk. The problem is that there’s a big dangerous road between you and your friend, and another between your friend’s home and the park. When you ask your parents if you can walk there, they say no. But they are too busy to take you there themselves. Perhaps you have a video conversation with your friend instead, or perhaps you play a video game on the sofa. You’ve lost out on time outside and, of course, play time with your friend. This is the reality for many kids today—but it doesn’t have to be this way.Tim Gill, the author of No Fear: Growing up in a Risk Averse Society, says a child-friendly city is one that allows “everyday freedom”, so a child can spread their wings as they grow. “It’s not enough to just talk about playgrounds and nice, pretty public spaces. That just creates play places that children have to be taken to by adults,” says Gill.Society’s mistake, argues Gill, is that our planning systems just focus on cars, house-building and the economy rather than the environment, health and quality of life. “You won’t find any urban planners who can disagree with that. It’s because our decision-makers fail to look beyond the next two or three years.”Designing cities with children in mind—particularly outdoor spaces that encourage safe movement and social interaction—stands to be an issue of growing高三英语科试卷第- 8 -页（共12页）concern globally. By 2050 around 70% of people will live in cities, and the majority of them will be under 18. Today, over a billion children are growing up in cities.28. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Dangerous roads.B. Parents’ improper behaviors.C. Addition to video games.D. Lack of outdoor activities for kids.29. What may the urban planners agree according to Gill?A. Children lack public spaces.B. People live a life of low quality.C. Their city planning is inappropriate.D.They are limited by their imagination.30. Why does the author mention the data in the last paragraph?A. To stress the necessity of building more cities.B. To show the urgency of considering kids in urban planning.C. To illustrate the changes of urban population.D. To promote children’s awareness of self-protection.31. What is the text mainly about?A. The appeal for a child-friendly city.B. Challenges facing urban children.C. Difficulties in city planning.D. Problems in modern cities.高三英语科试卷第- 9 -页（共12页）DWhen you think of batteries, you’ll likely think about them powering up remote controls, cellphones, flashlights and toys. But some people carry a battery around in their body to power a pacemaker (起搏器).It isn’t really pleasant and easy to carry batteries because they need to be replaced so often and they can leak poisonous chemicals. A battery-powered pacemaker may become a thing of the past, thanks to a new technology developed by UCLA researchers：A biological supercapacitor (超级电容器），which is thinner than several hairs.Teams of researchers at UCLA and the University of Connecticut published a paper in a journal explaining their new invention. The supercapacitor is made from a carbon material, and coated with human-like proteins that act as electrodes (电极）.But what makes the device different is that it is powered by an energy harvester that changes body heat and movement in the blood into Energy.Those traditional pacemakers are six to eight millimeters(毫米) thick. They are much bigger. The new Supercapacitor, which, due to its lack of battery, is only one micrometer（微米）thick. This “little” feature could benefit the new pacemaker’s energy efficiency, researchers stated. Also, unlike other batteries used in medical treatments，the supercapacitor can bend and twist in the body without suffering damage.Though they’ve not been widely used in the medical world, supercapacitors have the ability to serve as a safer and more efficient medical device than the traditional battery- operated devices, the researchers believe.“In order to be effective, battery-free pacemakers must have supercapacitors that can get, store and transport energy. However，commercial supercapacitors are too slow to make them Work,” said Maher El-Kady a UCLA researcher and a co-author of the study.“Our research focused on the custom-designed supercapacitor to capture energy effectively, and finding a way to make it exist together successfully with the human body. ”高三英语科试卷第- 10 -页（共12页）32. What do we know about traditional pacemakers?A. They are very popular with users.B. They need to be replaced quite often.C. They can do harm to the users’bodies.D. They are really convenient to carry around.33. What is special about the new supercapacitor?A. It has electrodes on the outside.B. It is made from a kind of protein material.C. It helps save the carriers’ money and energy.D. It can transform the energy from the body.34. Which of the following makes the new pacemaker energy-efficient?A. The small size.B. The small battery.C. The energy harvester.D. The bending and twisting characters.35. What is the best title for the tpxt?A. A New Pacemaker that Doesn’t Need to Use BatteriesB. A Battery-Powered Pacemaker Is Harming People’s BodyC. People Today Aren’t Willing to Use the Traditional Pacemaker Any LongerD.
