they have maintained a Body Mass Index （BMI）of at least 18.5for three months before a fashion show．That means a woman who is 68inches tall can weigh no less than 119pounds．"This law is another step in the war against eating disorders，"said physician Adatto．"Underweight models，"he explained，"can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny．"But some critics in this country say it is misguided，focusing on weight instead of health．They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry．"I think it's an approach that isn't going to work．"said eating disorder expert Susan Ice，who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models．But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized．He said．"I realized that only legislation（立法）can change the situation．There was no time to waste；so many girls were dieting to death．"However，the efforts to regulate models'weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health．Still，folks including Ice say there's no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with．"Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders，but it makes it harder，"she says．"It's a difficult recovery environment，worshiping thinness as the beauty

prevent models from suffering from eating disorders65．In the opinion of the critics，the law won't succeed because．A．it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit．B．it doesn't provide a proper

the situation？A．Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model．B．Establishing his fashion model agent．C．Being interviewed by a reporter．D．Seeing a model die from eating disorders．67．（8分）In face of global warming，much effort has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies．But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less﹣polluting energy alternatives，it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs．In the meantime，the amount of CO2in the air is rapidly approaching the limits proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC）．"As long as we're consuming fossil fuels，we're putting out CO2，"says Klaus Lackner，a geophysicist at Columbia University，"We cannot let the CO2 in the atmosphere rise indefinitely．"That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2，which the IPCC says could provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions needed to reduce global warming．"We see the potential for capture and storage to play an integral （基本的）role in reducing emissions，"says Kim Corley，Shell's senior advisor of CO2 and environmental affairs．That forward thinking strategy is gaining support．The U．S．Department of Energy recently proposed putting 1billionintoanew2.4billion coal ﹣burning energy plant．The plant's carbon﹣capture technologies would serve as a pilot project for other new coal﹣burning plants．But what do you do with the gas once you've captured it？One option is to put it to new uses．Dakota Gasification of North Dakota captures CO2 at a plant that converts （转换）coal into synthetic（合成的）natural gas．It then ships the gas 200miles by pipeline to Canada，where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations．In the Netherlands，Shell delivers CO2 to farmers who pipe it into their greenhouses，increasing their production of fruits and vegetables．However，scientists say that the scale of CO2 emissions will require vast amounts of long﹣term storage．Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean，Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline （盐的）formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world．67．What does the author intend to tell readers？A．How to find more oil and natural gases．B．How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions．C．How to deal with the greenhouse gas creatively．D．How to make good use of solar and wind energy．68．According to the passage，the following statements are true EXCEPT that．A．the idea of capturing and storing CO2 is supported by the American government B．it is widely accepted that the CO2 captured should be stored in deep geological structuresC．capturing and storing CO2 is intended to handle the problem with global warming D．long﹣term storage of CO2 is no easy job because of the scale of CO2emissions 69．By using CO2，Dutch farmers have been able to．A．increase their production of fruits and vegetables B．convert coal into synthetic natural gasC．pump it underground in oil recovery operations D．make exhausted oil and gas fields productive70．How would you understand the underlined part in the third paragraph？A．It means a project training new pilots who will serve the new strategy．B．It refers to the coal﹣burning energy plant that U．S government sponsors．C．It implies the carbon﹣capture technologies will be popular once successful．D．It shows the new idea of reduction of CO2emissions needs a large sum of investment．第四部分：任务型阅读（满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．每个空格只填一个单词．71．（10分）Learning is a daily adventure that one carries throughout life，and we should keep learning

to take notes，ask more questions and break down the response into smaller components （成分）to make sense of it．You can keep a diary or notebook to record what you learn and what questions you still have．Questions can teach as much as，or more than，answers．To be a lifelong learner，often evaluate （评估）and apply what you learn．Does it make sense？Is it true？Try to answer these questions and make good evaluation about what you're learning．In addition，applying what you learn is the best way to test it and it'll help you learn it more completely and keep it longer．How to become a lifelong

The Chinese government paid much attention to the collide．23.This passage most probably comes from ______ ．A. a magazineB. an Internet news reportC. science reportD. a novel【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】B 【小题3】B【解析】21-23 DBB21．D．考查细节理解．根据"The oil tanker caught on fire after the collision and the 32 crew members onboard went missing"可知，事故发生后，有32人失踪．22．B．考查细节理解．根据"The South Korean coast guard also sent a vessel and rescue helicopter to the spot"可知，韩国不是派遣了一艘海事执法船到现场，而是韩国海岸警卫队派了一艘船和救援直升机前往现场．所以B选项是错误的．故选B．23．B．考查主旨大意．根据文章内容可知，本文讲述的是中国交通运输部于2018年1月7日星期日表示，周六晚上，两艘船在中国东部海岸相撞后失踪．所以本文很可能是一篇新闻报道．故选B．中国交通运输部于2018年1月7日星期日表示，周六晚上，两艘船在中国东部海岸相撞后失踪．韩国海岸警卫队派了一艘船和救援直升机前往现场．阅读理解考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．BIn 1993，eight-year-old Brandon Keefe sat in a corner at the Hollygrove Children's Home，waiting for his mother to finish talking．He heard that Hollygrove Home needed a library，but all they had was an empty space and lots of kids without books．The next day，when Brandon's teacher asked the students to come up with ideas for a community service project，Brandon remembered what he had heard．An idea occurred to him at once．What about all the books he had read？He had many that he was too old for，and knew his friends had some，too．What if they gave them to the Hollygrove Home to create a library？Brandon started a project to collect books，and soon he had 847 books．The big empty room at Hollygrove was filled，and every child had a book to take to bed at night．When Brandon entered 7th grade，he，as well as his friends，began another book project．In one week，the school collected 5，000 books．The Hollygrove library couldn't handle them all．A local public school，Limerick Elementary，became the next new library created by Brandon and his friends．The headmaster realized that Brandon's idea was simple and effective．She began sharing it throughout the schools in Los Angeles．Brandon was surprised when，one day，a photographer from the Los Angeles Times called him out of class．They wrote about him in the newspaper，which led to some local community service awards．Then he was invited to appear on the very popular TV program Oprah．Brandon said，"After appearing on Oprah，many people knew about us and we were able to set up a non-profit organization called BookEnds．"By 2001，the 60，000 volunteers had collected around 150，000 books for BookEnds．They had completed 46 libraries，with 32 more under development，helping more than 40，000 children who didn't have books before．Brandon feels especially good that BookEnds is growing．"There are 60，000 people involved and I'm just one of them．It's great to know you've made a difference and that things are going to change because of what you've done．"24.According to the text，the Hollygrove Children's Home ______ ．A. had many disabled childrenB. only had an empty libraryC. had no books in the beginningD. was established by Brandon's mother25.Brandon came up with the great idea because ______ ．A. he had so many useless booksB. his teacher asked him to do itC. his friends promised to donate their booksD. he wanted to help the Hollygrove Home26.Why was Brandon invited to attend the program Oprah？______A. He helped create a library in the Hollygrove Home．B. He won some local community service awards．C. He was recommended by a public school headmaster．D. He set up a popular non-profit organization．27.What do we know about BookEnds from the passage？______A. The final purpose of the organization is to make a profit．B. It was established and is operated by the local community．C. More than 40thousand children have benefited from it．D. It doesn't need to grow and develop in the future．【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】D 【小题3】B 【小题4】C【解析】24-27．CDBC24． C．细节理解题．根据文章第一段He heard that Hollygrove Home needed a library，but all they had was an empty space and lots of kids without books．可知他听说Hollygrove Home需要一个图书馆，但他们只有一个空的地方，很多没有书的孩子．这是没有书籍的，故选C．25． D．推理判断题．根据第一段He heard that Hollygrove Home needed a library他听说需要一个图书馆，和第二段The next day，when Brandon's teacher asked the students to come up with ideas for a community service project，Brandon remembered what he had heard．An idea occurred to him at once．第二天，当老师让学生提出一个社区服务项目的想法时，Brandon想起他所听到的，立刻想到了一个主意，可知推测出他想帮助Hollygrove Home，故选D．26． B．细节理解题．根据文章Brandon was surprised when，one day，a photographer from the Los Angeles Times called him out of class．They wrote about him in the newspaper，which led to some local community service awards．Then he was invited to appear on the very popular TV program Oprah．可知洛杉矶时报的一名摄影师把他叫出教室，在报纸上写了关于他的报道，并因此获得了一些当地社区服务奖，之后被邀请参加了非常受欢迎的电视节目Oprah，故选B．27． C．细节理解题．根据文章helping more than 40，000 children who didn't have books before．可知40000的孩子受益，故选C．本文主要介绍了Brandon为了帮助Hollygrove Children's Home创建图书馆而号召人们把图书收集起来，并成立了一个叫BookEnds的非盈利组织，来帮助那些没有书籍的孩子们．一、速读全文，了解大意知主题．阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面．阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力．考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质．二、看题干，带着问题读文章．首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等．其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位．此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率．三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题．在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义．要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全．推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等．四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎．猜词是应用英语的重要能力．它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇．我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义．CIn 1951，a British explorer named Eric Shipton looking for an alternative route up Mt．Everest found a footprint that appeared to be human-like．He took a picture，and the mystery Daniel（神秘）the Yeti-a Sherpa word for "wild man"一cast a spell over the world．Danile Taylor，author of Yeti：The Ecology of a Mystery，has been searching for signs of this "Abominable Snowman" in the high Himalayas since he was a child．Talking from his home in West Virginia，Taylor explains what he thinks made that humanlike footprint，how his search eventually led to the creation of a national park，and why，in an age where we have become disconnected from nature，we have a deep need to believe in mysteries．The key evidence for the existence of the Yeti was the photo of a footprint taken by British explorer Eric Shipton in 1951．The photograph was taken on the Menlung Glacier，west of Mount Everest，on the Nepal- Tibet border．Shipton and Michael Ward were searching for an alternative Everest route when they came across the prints．Shipton was one of the most highly respected Everest explorers，so if he is bringing back a print，it is a real print．Nobody ever questioned that．But what is it？human，a King Kong type We expect them to give usWhat was attractive about the prints was that they're really sharp．The snow was hard so the photo looks like a sort of plaster（石膏）．The second feature was that the prints looked like a human footprint，but with a thumb．So，you get this primate-like feeling but human-like at the same time．Its enormous size-13inches-also suggests a large of image!Many expeditions（探险队）were sent out in search of the Yeti，a brief timeline．28.Why did Eric Shipton go to Mt．Everest？______A. To explore it．B. To take photos．C. To look for the Yeti．D. To work as a guide．29.What can we know about Daniel Taylor？______A. He took a photo of the human-likefootprint．B. He is devoted to the exploration ofMt．Everest．C. He has lost confidence in the search for the Yeti．D. He thinks people should have belief in mysteries．30.Which word can be used to describe the Yeti according to the text？______A. Sharp．B. Creative．C. Huge．D. Fierce．31.What is the author's attitude toward the search for the Yeti？______A. He thinks nothing．B. He thinks it is a waste of time．C. He is eager to know the result．D. He doubts the effort of explorers．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】D 【小题3】C 【小题4】D【解析】28．A．细节理解题．根据第一段In 1951，a British explorer named Eric Shipton looking for an alternative route up Mt． Everest found a footprint that appeared to be human-like．可知， Eric Shipton他是一名探险家，他去Mt． Everest 是为了寻找一条上山的路，但是意外的他发现了类似人类的脚印．结合选项，故选A．29．D．细节理解题．根据第二段最后一句in an age where we have become disconnected from nature，we have a deep need to believe in mysteries．可知，在人类与自然隔绝的时代下，人们需要深信神秘的事物．故选D．30．C．细节理解题．根据倒数第二段最后一句 Its enormous size-13inches-also suggests a large of image!，巨大的尺寸可知．故选C．31．D．观点态度题．根据倒数第三段But what is it…．to give us中的expect期望一词，和短文最后一段最后一句，"为寻找雪人，在很短的时间内，很多探险队已被派出"．暗含出作者对探险家努力的怀疑．本文章主要讲述了一个探险家在探险的时候发现了巨大的类似人类的脚印，并由此引发了科学家对此事件的进一步探索．题目涉及多道细节理解题，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．DMost of us have gone away from "mad men" in the street，only to realize that they are in fact using a Bluetooth headset．Now a new University of Pennsylvania study shows that muttering （嘀咕）can actually help people find lost objects-in other words，saying the name of an object helps you find it more quickly．Previous work has suggested that speaking aloud while performing step-by-step tasks，like tying shoelaces （鞋带），can help kids guide their behavior and let them focus on the job in hand．However，scientists were not sure if speaking aloud when performing tasks could help adults in the same way，especially when looking for particular objects．Professor Gary Lupan and Daniel Swingley，writing for the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology，carried out some experiments．They hoped to give the fact that next time you lose your keys，muttering "keys，keys，keys" can in fact help you find them．Inspired by viewing people muttering to themselves as they try to find things like peanut butter in a supermarket，the researchers conducted two experiments to see if this actually worked．In the first，participants were shown 20pictures of various objects and were asked to find a certain one，with some seeing a text label （标签）telling them what they were looking for．These participants were then asked to search for the object again while saying the word to themselves，with results showing that saying it aloud helped people find the object more quickly．The second experiment saw participants performing a shopping task，where they were shown photographs of items （物品）commonly found on supermarket shelves．They were asked to find all examples of a particular item，so if they were asked for apples they had to find all the bags of apples，as quickly as possible．The researchers found that there was also an advantage in saying the name of the product aloud when they were searching for something familiar．The University of Pennsylvania study shows that muttering can actually help people reach the target object-in other words，muttering to oneself helps to focus the mind on something．It works more effectively than seeing a written description．Repeating the word over and over again helps even more．32.The second paragraph tells us that ______ ．A. it is easier for kids to do step-by-step tasks by mutteringB. muttering has the same effect on both kids and adultsC. it is really hard to carry out the experiments on adultsD. muttering helps people to control their behavior33.According to the passage，muttering can help people in a way that ______ ．A. it completely controls people's mindB. it directly explains people's behaviorC. they concentrate more on their job at handD. they reduce their pressure from their mind34.The two experiments mentioned in the passage show that ______ ．A. participants saying aloud the word found the object more quicklyB. it took the participants the same time to find the objectsC. showing pictures of the items helped find them more quicklyD. participants were better at doing the shopping task35.What is the best title of the passage？______A. How to Find Lost ObjectsB. Methods of Remembering ObjectsC. What to Mutter to YourselfD. Effects of Muttering【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】C 【小题3】D 【小题4】D【解析】32．A．段落大意题．根据第二段第一句Previous work has suggested that speaking aloud while performing step-by-step tasks，like tying shoelaces （鞋带），can help kids guide their behavior and let them focus on the job in hand．（之前有研究发现儿童在一步步完成像系鞋带这样的任务时会不断跟自己说话，可以帮助孩子们指导自己的行为，让他们集中注意力干手头的事情．）可知，通过不断跟自己说话孩子更容易一步一步完成任务．故选A．33．C．细节理解题．The University of Pennsylvania study shows that muttering can actually help people reach the target object-in other words，muttering to oneself helps to focus the mind on something．Muttering在某种程度上能帮助人们集中注意力干手头的事情．故选C．34．D．细节理解题．根据第三段最后一句These participants were then asked to search for the object again while saying the word to themselves，with results showing that saying it aloud helped people find the object more quickly．（研究人员要求被测者一边找去一边念叨要找的物品．结果发现自言自语的被测者能更快地找到东西．）可知，选D．35．D．主旨大意题．根据最后一段最后两句It works more effectively than seeing a written description．Repeating the word over and over again helps even more．（muttering比看到被写的描述更有效．一遍一遍重复帮助更大．）可知，D项做文章标题适合．本文宾夕法尼亚大学的教授通过实验证明自言自语有很多好处，它能帮助人们集中注意力干手头的事情．阅读理解考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．三、选词填空（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）36.New Zealand is home （56）______the Maoris．It （57）______（believe）that theMaoris people came from the Pacific islands of Polynesia．They brought with them（58）______culture rich in song，dance and art．The Maori people believe in many gods such as the God of the Forest and the God of the Sea．These gods are remembered through their song and dance．The Maoris have a（59）______（tradition）meeting house，（60）______visitors are welcomed．This will be the place where you will meet with the Maoris and join with them in dance．You will stay with a family in their （61）______（wood）house in the area ofRotura．There you（62）______（eat）food such as fish and sweet potatoes，which is cooked in （63）______（leaf）steamed over hot stones．You will get the chance to eat food（64）______（cook）in underground stoves．You will also get the chance （65）______（go）night fishing．【答案】【小题1】to【小题2】is believed【小题3】a【小题4】traditional【小题5】where【小题6】wooden【小题7】will eat【小题8】leaves【小题9】cooked【小题10】to go【解析】56．to 57．is believed 58．a 59．traditional 60．where 61．wooden 62．will eat 63．leaves 64．cooked 65．to go56．to．本题考查短语．be home to "是……的家乡，是……发源地"．57．is believed．本是考查主语从句．It is believed that…．"人们认为……"．主句用现在是从句可用各种时态．58．a．本题考查冠词．他们带来了一种富含有歌曲舞蹈和艺术的文化．59．traditional．本题考查形容词作定语．他们有一个传统的会议大厅．tradition n．传统．traditional adj．传统的60．where．本题考查定语从句．本题是一个非限制性定语从句．从句中缺状语，先行词是地点，故用where．61．wooden．本题考查形容词的用法．wood n．木头．wooden adj．木制的．应用形容词，作定语表属性．62．will eat．本题考查时态．本句和上句属同一时态，上句是"will stay"固本句用"will eat"．63．leaves．本题考查名词单复数．本句翻译成：这些食物是用树叶包裹着，在石头上蒸熟的．64．cooked．本题考查非谓语动词．本句考查非谓语动词．是过去分词短语作后置定语．与所修饰词food之间含有动宾关系．65．to go．本题考查动词短语．get the chance to do．有机会做某事．本文主要讲了新西兰是毛利人的故乡．人们认为毛利人来自太平洋的波利尼西亚岛．他们带来了丰富的歌舞艺术文化．毛利人信仰许多神，如森林之神和海洋之神，这些神灵通过他们的歌声和舞蹈而被人们记住．毛利人有一个传统的会议厅，在那里游客欢迎．你将和在Rotura地区的一户人家住在木屋里，在那里吃鱼和红薯等食物，这些食物是用热石蒸过的叶子做成的，这样你就有机会吃到在地下炉灶里烹制的食物，你也有机会去夜间钓鱼．语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力，在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，在读懂短文的基础上，结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析．要解决好语法填空，离不开坚实的语法知识，有了坚实的语法知识才能对语言进行正确的分析和判断，从而答对题目．四、短文改错（本大题共5小题，共50.0分）37.If I were a millionaire， I will travel around the world．______【答案】will 改为would。

AWhile beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind off work, lakes surrounded by mountains make for an even grander experience. If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus(高加索).Lake SevanLake Sevan is situated in the central part of Armenia, in the Gegharkunik province. It is the largest lake in Armenia, located 6,200ft above sea level. Along the lake shore, there are various accommodations such as resorts and hotels with plenty of activities to partake in such as windsurfing, swimming and sunbathing. While there, do not forget to visit one of the famous cultural monuments, the Sevanavank Monastery, and it offers a great view of the lake as well.Lake ParavaniLake Paravani, located at 6,801ft above sea level, is in the south of Georgia, near the Javakheti plateau. At this level, altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to be prepared to adapt to it properly, or bring medication for altitude sickness. Being a volcanic lake makes for a more interesting experience. The lake is best known for fishing. Do not come home during the winter months when the lake freezes.Lake CildirLake Cildir is located in the Ardahan province, East Turkey, near the borders of Georgia and Armenia. It is the second largest freshwater lake of Eastern Turkey, and many tourists are notaware of this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus. The lake freezes during late November. If the winter is not extremely cold, you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing.Lake VanLake Van is the must visit of all lakes in this list. The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake here. It’s situated at 5, 380ft above sea level, and unique to lakes around the world, the water is high in salt content. 1．If you want to visit some historic sites during your travel by a lake, you can go to_______ .A. Lake CildirB. Lake ParvaniC. Lake SevanD. Lake Van2．What is special about Lake Van?A. Its water is high in salt.B. It is a volcanic lake.C. It is globally the largest lake.D. It is surrounded by mountains. 3．What challenge are travelers most likely to face while visiting Lake Paravani?A. Lack of medicine.B. V olcano eruptions.C. Altitude sickness.D. Low temperature all the year. 4．Which destinations would be attractive to a fishing lover?A. Lake Sevan and Lake Pa ravani.B. Lake Pravani and Lake Cildir.C. Lake Cildir and Lake Van.D. Lake Sevan and Lake Van.BIt is commonly believed that all over the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys’schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Always boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和……相符) the ＂boy code＂of hiding their emotions to be a ＂real man＂.Surprisingly, the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.George Carl, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teach ers can adjust lessons to boys’learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote thestudy’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with ＂boy-focused＂approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given ＂hands-on＂lessons where they are allowed to walk around. ＂Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes,＂James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be ＂masterful and in charge＂in relationships. ＂In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,＂the study reported. 5．The writer argues that a single-sex school would __________.A. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyB. help boys to be more competitive in schoolsC. force boys to be their emotions to be ＂real men＂D. naturally strengthen boys’traditional image of a man6．Traditionally, in a mixed school boys __________.A. behave more responsiblyB. perform relatively betterC. grow up more healthilyD. receive a better education7．In Abigail James’opinion, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______.A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inB. boys can focus on their lessons without being distractedC. teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics of boysD. teaching can be designed to promote boys’team spirit8．The underlined word ＂acute＂in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______ .A. lovelyB. seriousC. sharpD. dullC＂BANG!＂the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. ＂Never set foot in this house again!＂stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: ＂Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me？＂In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except father’s.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. ＂Am I wrong＂I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love—it’s second to none.9．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?A. The author fully understood why he and his father had different thinking.B.

But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus. They might also be able to permanently remove species of plants and animals that are destructive to other species.In a report published last week, the U. S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAS) said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are released into the wild.Sixteen biologists, ethicists(伦理学家) and policymakers are on an NAS committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But, they say, there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms (生物体) from the laboratory into nature.Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction(繁殖).Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a country’s borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet.12．What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have?A. Changing the Zika virus permanently.B. Removing the destructive sp ecies for ever.C. Having changed genes in their next generations.D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.13．As for genetically changed wild animals and plants ,what are scientists worried about?A. They may become weaker or die out.B. They may be more productive.C. They may cause damage to their living habitat.D. Their genes may spread to later generations.14．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Scientists are not sure what exact results gene modification leads to.B. Scientists won’t modify any genes before they make the final decision.C. Gene modification has benefited some farm animals and agricultural plants.D. Scientists have not applied gene modification to wild animals and plants in case of possible danger.15．What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stop research on gene controlB. How to change genetic structureC. Power and danger of gene controlD. Advantages of gene control in wild animals and plants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 one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States, having been opened in the year 1883. The length of the bridge is 1.843 meters. The bridge has been featured in several Hollywood movies.George Washington BridgeAlso known as the Hudson River Bridge and the Columbus Bridge, the George Washington Bridge which connects Fort Lee to Manhattan came into use in 1931 after a construction period of almost 4 years. It is a two level suspension bridge that cost about $52 million to build Mackinac BridgeThis is the third biggest suspension bridge in the world at a length of 8.038 meters. The architect of this bridge was Dr. David B. Steinman who directed the construction of the bridge whichstarted in the year 1054 and opened to the public in 1958. People using this bridge are charged a certain amount of money.Navajo bridgeLocated in Arizona, this bridge crosses the Colorado River and is almost 250 meters long. The construction of this bridge started in the year 1927, ending two years later, costing $390.000. In the 1990s a second bridge was built which was opened to the public in 1994. The first bridge is now used only by pedestrians21. What do we know about the Golden Gate Bridge?A. It consists of two bridges.B. It costs the least of the live bridges.C.

See the statue of Dr David B. SteinmanBIn our everyday lives we meet situations in which we take many things for granted (不去重视). We only treasure things when they are gone. This is a sad truth of human nature. One day, I found myself as a witness to a similar situation.One evening, I left work and boarded the train. Afterentering, I noticed something unusual. The center of the car had a few empty seats while both ends were crowded with people standing.I didn’t pay much attention and sat down on one of the empty seats. I sensed a f unny smell. Itwasn't long before I noticed a homeless person sleeping on three seats in front of me. He was bleeding from his nose. Why wasn't anyone helping him?His clothes were torn and he was giving off a strange smell. Along with the smell, his eyes were dull, watery and red. Occasionally he scratched himself and people looked at him as if he had committed a crime. As the train stopped at stations and more people came in they covered their noses and faced away from him. All the seats around him were empty.Suddenly, he began to swear at the people around him. A plain clothes policeman who looked like a construction worker took out his certificate and showed it to the homeless man. The officer, not wanting to touch the homeless man, told him his rights and directed him to exit the train. As the officer walked the man out of the train, the homeless man turned around and said “MY HOME!" and started crying.A man doesn't value things until they are gone. If he didn’t have a home, at least he had freedom. Now he has neither. No one wants to help someone who won’t help himself.24. When entering the car, how did the author feel at first?A. AnnoyedB.

Toit, one sociologist in the U.S., explains that multiculturalism is more than the expression of cultural variety, and it also concerns communication. He adds that for multiculturalism to "succeed’, meaningful communication is a requisite.In multicultural countries, it is necessary that the education system encourages learners to become interculturally competent (胜任的). The process of becoming intercultural is a“ personal transf ormation”from being cultural to being intercultural. This does not mean that a highly intercultural person's identity is culture-free. Rather, it is not rigidly bound by membership to any one particular culture. Furthermore for learners to become interculturally competent, it is necessary that all involvers in the education system become aware of their own cultural background.Toit conducted a survey, the objective of which was to determine the problems experienced by learners in a multicultural learning environment. Two hundred questionnaires were administered. 55% believed that different values and beliefs were a major cause of the communication problems. Closer examination of the interactions showed that learners were in fact mostly associating with members of their own cultural groups. Toit points out that in an intercultural communication, people would be challenged by the sudden difference in culture, and this may force an evaluation or re-evaluation of their beliefs and values.45% of the learners believed that there was lack of trust among their peers. The general lack of trust between two complete strangers leads to an uncomfortable situation. They said that when learners are asked to work in groups, they are unwilling to do so. They added that one of the many issues that contribute to such negative opinions was the language barrier.28. What does the underlined word "requisite" in the second paragraph mean?A. NecessityB. ProcessC. DecisionD. Encouragement29. What does being interculturally competent require according to the third paragraph?A. That intercultural person' s identity is culture-free.B. People choosing one particular culture.C. People to be aware of their own cultural background.D. That people influence others with their own beliefs and values.30. What can we learn about the survey?。
