AI have had all kinds of interesting neighbors since the early days of my life. When I was a baby I would stand in my wooden crib(婴儿床) and watch the world go by through the window. Some neighbors watched me watching the world go by with by big, wondering eyes and found me very interesting. They used to call me “the beauty at the window”.The early neighbors I could remember were from the second house I lived in. Peter and Paul were twins. We went to play school together although they were a year older than me. I well remember the Alsatian they had which ran into me when I was invited to their fifth birthday party. Needless to say, I was well-known for my loud screams after the party. But they said the pet was scared of my screams and didn’t appear until the party was over.Peter and Paul were the first boys who encouraged me to climb the gate. I could never tell the difference between boy and girl behaviors—I just did what I thought was fun. Not only did I have a great time performing that first climb, I also got my skirts dirty, and was criticized by my mother.The Japanese neighbors I had living in this same house were my favorite, as they introduced me to sea-salt baked shrimps (烤虾) which were so crisp that you could eat the shrimp totally. They gave me some seaweed for my birthday. Thankfully, no other member in my family enjoyed the seaweed as I did. Perhaps what my mother used to joke to me was true, that I was picked up out of the dustbin that belonged to a Japanese home.Maybe sometimes it is difficult to find good neighbors in this society. But all it takes is a spark(火花) to get a fire going. I have decided to be that spark wherever I live and pass love on to my neighbors.21. We can guess "the Alsatian" in the twin brothers' home is ___________.A. a small childB. an interesting toyC. a dogD. a bicycle22. From the passage we can know that the author___________.A. enjoyed the Japanese neighbors' cooking style mostB. had difficulty getting on with the twin brothers' familyC. was described as interesting when playing with boysD. had many neighbors that worked in restaurants23. What can we infer from the passage?A. The author often moved to other places.B. Peter and Paul liked to play tricks on others.C. The neighbors the author had were good at cooking.D. The author had a good relationship with her neighbors.BBelow are four ads on the website.Artful ExperienceIt’s an artful experience even if you’re artistically challenged.

Which of the following can be the best title for the fourth advertisement?A. Nice Rome tripsB. Airport Car Rentals With DriversC. Cheap Car ToursD. Flight Service To Pick You UpCTo the mom I used to be:Two years ago, you were happy and whole. You had a plan for life --- start a new business, get involved in the Parent-teacher Association, teach your sons how to ride bicycles, spend as much time with your friends and parents as possible, watch your children mature and grow old with your husband. You were a “glass half full” person who often felt so much joy. You always looked forward, smiled and danced.Two years ago, on December 14,2012, the world changed and you changed with it. Disturbed young men with access to high-powered guns went to your sons’ school and killed six educators and twenty first- graders. Your eldest son Jake survived, but was changed by the day he discovered some monsters are real. He describes it as the day “when evils came to my school.” Your youngest son, Dylan, whom you thought of as a pure love, with his charming eyes and infectious giggle(微笑)，was killed. Shot multiple times, he died instantly in the arms of his special- education assistant who also died while trying to protect him.The tragedy changed all your life, not only because of losing your child, but because of the hole inside you that can never be filled. Your eldest son has been forced to grow up too fast because of the loss of his brother. The pain has altered the lines on your husband’s face. The way you look at the world has changed. Your interactions with friends and fami ly seem foreign. … …But the things have moved on with hopefulness. You are now someone far more realistic. You control your feelings because you fear if you really let it out, you would never recover. It would destroy you. You know what you should do is try everything to protect more children. You’re fighting a good fight, what the whole society really needs.With love,Nicole Hockley, Dylan’s mom28. Saying a "glass half full" person, the author means she________.A. was once an optimistic momB. was always a very busy momC. was living a life to the fullestD. got drunk with half a glass of beer29. The letter tends to indicate that Dylan_________.A. might have some mental disabilityB. has become childish since his teacher diedC. should have been protected from being killedD was then studying in the same class as his brother30. Which can best describe Dylan's mom's attitude towards life today?A. NegativeB. PositiveC. HopelessD. Depressed31. The author writes the letter mainly to __________.A. tell herself not to forget the bitterly painful pastB. praise the educators' brave deeds in time of dangerC. tell the readers how the shooting has changed her familyD. describe the bad effects of school violence on studentsDLife is not easy in senior high school. You’ve got the pressure of studies and exams.From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated. When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it. One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found.Salt acts as a natural anti—depressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say. While too much can lead t o high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) depressions”, a study has reported.The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the US, discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they don’t do activities they normally enjoy.The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much. However, most adults in the developed world consume（消耗）around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts. Today, 77 percent of US salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food.The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells. But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure.Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substance—almost like a drug.One sign of addiction is using a substance even when it’s known to be harmfu l. Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low-salt foods tasteless.Humans have a long history of eating salt. In the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt, bec ause they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat. Then they had to find another way to get salt.32. What does the underlined word "deficient" in the third paragraph mean?A. enoughB. far from enoughC. more than enoughD. plenty33. The major role of salt is to ____________.A. help the body work wellB. help fight against depressionD. help people get rid of an addiction to drugsD. help people enjoy sugary substances34. Which of the following statements is true?A. People have trouble reducing salt because they d on't know it is harmful toeat too much of it.B. Before 10,000 BC, human beings did not need salt.C. The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there.D. Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adult's health.35. What kind of food should people eat more of?A. Frozen foodB. Fast foodC. Red meat D Low--salt food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。

He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and the sale of his compositions(作曲). The last 30 years of Beethoven's life were filled with a lot of hard times, the first of which was his deafness. Beethoven's music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.Johann Sebastian Bach(1685-1750)Bach, “the father of modern music”, was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist(风琴手) in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Seven years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court(宫廷) organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.Frederic Chopin (1810-1849)Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of his early works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818.Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.Franz Schubert(1797-1828)Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors(前辈),Schubert was not a great performer. He never had much money but he was very productive. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen. However, he died young, before his talents had even been known.1.（1） Beethoven did Not make a living by ___.A . teaching studentsB . giving concertsC . selling his worksD . doing business2.（2） Bach worked as an organist in Weimar until_____.A . 1765B . 1707C . 1750D . 17163.（3）Who is called “the father of modern music”?A .

I didn't answer, in fact I dared not.As soon as the clock struck twelve, I suddenly heard and couldn't help crying “Oh, dear! Many more books to readbefore I can go to bed!” We students are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this.He didn't have to work so hard when he was a boy.When the clock struck one, I felt I was hopeless now. Iforgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did theonly thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow.

But do you know something about the annual(每年的)Macy's Thanksgiving Parade(游行) in New York?There are thousands of bystanders(看热闹的人)andmillions of television viewers. The Parade is as traditionalas turkey. The year 2016 was the 90th year of Macy'sparade. It featured 15 huge balloons in the shape of cartoon and pop culture characters, 1,200 dancers andcheerleaders, 900 clowns(小丑),10 marching bands andnearly 9,000 workers, almost all of whom were volunteers.The floats(彩车)and balloons have been gettinglarger ,more colorful and more surprising since Macy'simmigrant (移民的) workers organized the first Thanksgiving Day Parade.In 2016, school children were invited to the Macy'sparade studios(画室) outside New York City, for a first look at several just completed floats.Bella was excited to be there. “I think it's great because I get to see all of these floats before anyone else does in the parade,” said Bella.John Piper is the president of Macy's Studio. He said his work was fun all the time. “It's a lot of work. All year long,the artists at Macy's Studio all build these floats. We create them from scratch(涂抹). I have the finest carpenters(木匠), metal workers, painters all cooperating(合作) together,” said Piper.The floats were supposed to advertise for commercialsponsors(赞助商) for the start of the Christmas season.

When you wake up? Before bed? A dozen times in between? The technology which was supposed to make our lives simple has taken up too much time. The young people spends more than seven hours a day using technologicaldevices(设备), with an extra hour just text-messagingfriends.The advantage of technological devices is connection:we are in touch with more people during more hours of the day than at any other time in history. But is it possible that we're lonelier than ever? That's what professor SherryTurkle observes（观察）in her new book, Alone Together,which clearly describes our changing relationship withtechnology.For Turkle, technology isn't offering us the lives we want to live. “We're texting people at a distance,” says Turkle,“We're using lifeless objects(物体) to convince(使确信)ourselves that even when we're alone, we feel together.And then when we're with each other, we put ourselves in situations where we are alone---always on our mobiledevices. I call it a storm of confusion(困惑) about what'simportant in our human connections. That's my biggestworry.”Besides, communicating online is not equal to face-to-face communication. Online, you can ignore(忽视) others' feelings. In a text message, you can avoid eye contact(目光接触). A number of studies have found that this generation of young people is less sympathetic(有同情心的)than ever.“That doesn't lead to disaster,” says Turkle, “but thedisadvantage s still cannot be ignored.”12.（1） What is Sherry Turkle's biggest worry?A . Technology may make human connections confusingB . Technology can't help people remove lonelinessC . Technology may make people's lives hardD . Technology keeps people together13.（2） What is the author's attitude to the influence oftechnology on people's life?A . PositiveB . NegativeC . HopelessD . Uncertain14.（3） What is the passage mainly about?A . Technology brings many conveniences to people's livesB . Young men spend too much time on technological devicesC . Technology also brings people some disadvantagesD . Sherry Turkle observes people's changing relationship with technology15.（4） What's the main purpose of the passage?A . To instruct people how to do with messages.B . To stress the importance of technology.C . To get us to consider what's important in human connections.D . To promote(推动)a wider use of technological devices.三、<b >七选五</b>6. 任务型阅读Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However，it is not true．________If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents，don't worry about it．Here are some advice for you to bridge the generationgap(消除代沟)．________Don't get to your parents when you are angry．Your parents possibly won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry.Go to some place to cool off.Try to reach a compromise(和解).________You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them.________Talk about your values(价值观). The values of your parents are probably different from those of yourown.________ Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.A. Don't argue with your parents.B. Tell your parents what you care about, and why.C. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy.D. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.E. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something.F. Communication is a problem for parents and children of allG. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.四、<b >短文填空</b>7. 语法填空Our local Community Youth Club is a verypopular________(organize) with young people in my town.We've taken part________lots of projects.________, we've also started doing social work to help in________(we) neighborhood.

At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious(明显的) to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don't worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn't really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King's famous speech---"I have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles(结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don't remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication(交流). They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker's ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker's attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don't worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.25. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ______.A. be smarter than youB. notice your mistakesC. do better than youD. know what you are talking about26. You don't remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ______.A. your attention is on the contentB. you don't fully understand the speechC. you don't know what the speaker plans to sayD. you find the way of speech-making more important27. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be badC. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeD. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be.28. What would be the best title for the passage?A. How to Be a Perfect SpeakerB. How to Make a Perfect SpeechC. Don't Expect a Perfect SpeechD. Don't Expect Mistakes in a SpeechCThe Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers（减速带）on major highways and roads, in order to check speeding and careless driving, and finally make its deadly roads a little safer. "We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers," India's transport minister Nitin Gadkari wrote.The optical illusions(视觉错觉) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. Earlier, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a safety hazard for high-speed vehicles. India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organisation, over 200,000 people are killed by road accidents.The use of optical illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings. In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, a mother and her daughter, both artists, have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of 2016. The artists say their motto is "to increase the attention of drivers", and that the concept has been successfully tested in accident-prone zones on a highway.However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that India's decision does not consider the safety of a large number of pedestrians. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.29. Why are 3D paintings used on main highways and roads?A.To make the surroundings more beautiful.B.To attract the attention of tourists.C.To reduce the rate of traffic accidents.D.To show the advanced technology.30. Which of the following words is closest t o the meaning of “hazard” in paragraph 2?A.ReminderB.ThreatC.RegulationD.Theory31. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4?A.Philadelphia, the U.S.A is th second place to use virtual speed breakers in theworld.B.The idea tested in Ahmedabad recently has been a failure.C.The new policy of 3D zebra crossings must be carried out smoothly.D.The use of optical illusions as speed breakers is controversial in India.32. What do we know about 3D zebra crossings from the passage?A.They can vastly lower the death rate in India.B.They have been widely used in India so far.C.They are designed to increase drivers’ attention.D.They are welcomed by both drivers and pedestrians.DI used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountereda courteous human being in this modern era.Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place, with my two daughters. The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the narrow stairs, where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.Just as I was in the middle of the stairs, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up. I kept coming down as fast as I could. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.Such well mannered people are hard to find these days, when pushing is very common in our advanced but aggressive society. We applauded for his chivalry(骑士精神).33. What did the author think of the man at the first sight of him?A. He was in a hurry.B. He would wait for her.C. He would cross her rudely.D. He was a man with good manners.34. Why did the author’s daug hters worry about her?A. She was too old to walk fast.B. She was easy to be disturbed.C. She took up too much space.D. She focused too much on the man.35. What can we learn about the man from Paragraph 4?A. He might be a waiter of the café.B. He might have an urgent business to do.C. He fell in love with one of the author’s daughters.D. He would hold the door open for all.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。

BIf you find yourself checking your phone first thing in the morning, if you find you’re text-messaging while driving, checking your phone instead of working on an important assignment—you are addicted.Don’t worry. The new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. It looks and feels exactly like a smartphone, but it does nothing. It’s just a piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.NoPhone is currently a prototype(手机模型) that will cost only $12 once it hits the market. Its makers are trying to raise $30,000 in order to cover the production and marketing costs.Dutch designer Ingmar Larsen, who helped create the NoPhone, said that he had the idea as a joke along with his friends Van Gould and Ben Langveld. To their great surprise, the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhone of their own, so that’s when the three friends decided to raise money for mass production.David H said, “ I used to sleep with my phone in my hand, but my night errors would cause me to throw it across the room in an unconscious panic. With the NoPhone,I can still enjoy the comfort of holding a phone in my sleep, without waking up toa shattered screen, thanks, NoPhone.”If you’re interested in NoPhone, but concerned about not being able to take selfies anymore, don’t worry. The makers do have an update at no extra charge—the mirror sticker. That way, they say, you can enjoy “real-time” selfies with your friends when they’re standing right behind you.4. From the third paragraph we can infer that_______.A. NoPhone is a device made of high technology.B. the makers want to raise money to improve their technology.C. NoPhone has not been on the market at present.D. the users of NoPhone can stay away from the real world.5. What made the designers surprised was that________.A. many people thought of the idea as a joke at firstB. people in Dutch began to make NoPhone of their ownC. people worldwide began to fund mass productionD. people worldwide were interested in NoPhone on the net6. According to David H, he often ______at night.A. used his smartphoneB. had nightmareC. became unconsciousD. looked for his smartphone7. What does the underlined phrases “take selfies” most probably mean?A. take a photo of oneselfB. get in touch with someoneC. take the place of someoneD. catch sight of someone【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A【解析】本文介绍文进入市场的NoPhone在网上很受欢迎，得到全世界人在网上的青睐。
