AAs an Asian country, Singapore has a reputation for being highly westernized, with English among the country’s four official languages, but a couple of signs found on local buses that have recently become a hit online may say otherwise.Quite different from English we know, the signs read, for example, “Here cannot go in” inst ead of “No entry”, and “Here can charge phone”instead of “Charge phone here”. This language that resembles English is called Singaporean English or Singlish.The New York times calls Singlish a “patchwork” because Singapore consists of migrants(移民)from several countries including China, India and Malaysia, and they all speak their own versions of “English”.“Everyone who speaks it shapes it,” wrote the newspaper.For example, in Singapore, you can easily recognize influences from Chinese, including vocabula ry such as “meesiam” and “da bao”. Sentence structures like “toilet where” also come from Chinese.Interesting and diverse as it may seem, the trend for Singlish is worrying Singapore’s government. It is concerned that the dialect is lowering the country’s English standard and may affect its relationship with visitors. It even started the Speak Good English Movement.Unfortunately, the problem was not solved. Instead, Singlish has boomed, especially among young people who think of it as a sign of being cool and a way of identifying themselves as Singaporeans.But this does not mean that standard English is being abandoned by young people. In fact, they are much more capable than the government gives them credit for —they can speak both.“We are a nation good at code switching —we know that the way we speak to friends or drivers must be different from how we present ourselves in the boardroom or at school,” wrote Cheryl, a Singaporean author, in Time magazine. “To actively urge us to give up a language that sp eaks to the very heart of who we are, that so beautifully represents the melting pot of the Chinese, Indians, Malaysians and Eurasians that we are, is short-sighted surely.”1.Why does Singapore have many different versions of English?A It is made up of migrants.B It is highly westernized.C It is influenced by Chinese.D It is affected by official languages.2.What is the purpose of starting the Speak Good English Movement?A To stop the new trend.B To better the relationship.C To keep the English standard.D To give the government credit.3.What can we learn from what Cheryl said?A Different people speak different styles of Singlish.B Singlish is a more beautiful language than others.C People speak Singlish only to friends and drivers.D People can use Singlish to express themselves well.BCareers in zoology are extremely varied and unique, and can provide incredible learning and work opportunities for anyone devoted to animal studies and welfare. Zoology, or the study of animals, is a wide field with many specialties, including research, conservation, veterinary(兽医的) medicine, and the care of animals. For people with a love of animals and some training, dreams of careers in zoology may come true.Some careers in zoology focus on research and scientific studies. These careers may allow those with a good theoretical science background to develop and run studies that improve people’s understanding of the animal world. Research in zoology can help create safer and more effective products for animals or can teach humans more about animal behaviour in order to aid in conservation, breeding programmes, and habitat preservation.Careers in zoology that focus on conservation attach great importance to the continued survival and increased protection of animal species. Conservationists may work with political groups or governments to help make laws to protect and preserve animals, or may work in the fields gathering information on potential threats to the health of global ecosystems. Some conservationists work in educational fields, trying to improve human efforts to save animals from extinction.Animals are subject to illness and injury, and some careers in zoology help to create a safe, stable animal population. Veterinary medicine is an important specialty field, and may take several years of intensive training to qualify as a certified veterinarian. While many veterinarians focus on the small-animal practice of domestic pets, vets in rural areas often work with large farm animals and more adventurous veterinarians may work with exotic species in zoos and wildlife preserves.Humans love to observe animals, and modern-day zoos and wildlife preserves help meet that interest while providing facilities to assist with conservation programmes. Zoology careers in zoos can range from overseeing breeding programmes, to creating the proper diet for a deer, to cleaning the tiger’s cage. Many volunteer and entry-level jobs are available for people who love animals.4.What is the purpose of researching on animals in zoology?A To help governments make laws.B To improve researchers’ scientific knowledge.C To create safe and effective products for humans.D To educate people to protect animals.5.What can careers in zoology that focus on veterinary medicine help?A Better understand animals.B Protect the animals’ health.C Clean the animals’ cages.D Increase the number of animals.6.What does the passage mainly present?A Volunteers’ passion for zoology.B A new idea of careers in zoology.C Different types of careers in zoology.D Effective measures of animal protection.CWhen my daughter Sally was five, I bought Grimms' Fairy Tales and read “Snow White ” to her one night. At the end of the original Grimm tale, Snow White’s stepmother is made to put on red-hot iron shoes and dance until she falls down dead.This came as something of a shock. I always thought fairy tales had happy endings. And I didn’t want my five-year-old daughter going to sleep thinking: “Thank goodness they tortured (折磨) that old wom an to death.” That’s when I decided to write fairy tales.In the years that followed, I wrote tales non-stop and read them to Sally at bedtime. The Corn Dolly was based on a child who was always complaining; The Silly King was just a silly story Sally loved; I wrote The Witch and The Rainbow Cat for Sally because of her enormous appetite for stories about witches while Dr Bonocolus’s Devil is a new version of the Faust legend. Nicobobinus, however, was different. I wrote this book when Sally was older and took up all things girls have to do—who’s friends with who, who suck a sticker on the back of whose boyfriend, or whatever thing she felt funny.Nicobobinus, a boy who could do anything, came out of my desire for a more innocent world. He lived a long time ago, in a city called Venice. Only his best friend, Rosie, knew he could, and nobody took any notice of anything Rosie said, because she was always having wild ideas anyway. Nicobobinus was so different that it turned out to be an instant hit. The Times ca lled me “an author setting out to rival the classic fairy tales”. I asked Sally what she thought of Nicobobinus. She said it was her favourite.7.What led the writer to start writing fairy tales for his daughter?A The frightening ends of the past fairy tales.B His daughter’s strong interest in fairy tales.C His desire to let his daughter know more stories.D His attempt to fill his daughter’s bedtime with something.8.We can infer from the third paragraph that the writer______.A was a very productive fairy tale writerB based all his stories on some old legendsC never described witches in his fairy talesD created his stories out of his own interest9.When creating Nicobobinus, the first thing the writer considered was ______.A what stories the publisher wanted to getB the changes of his daughter’s interestsC the ways to keep his daughter innocentD the difference of the story from other stories10.The underlined word “rival” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _______.A followB exploreC challengeD recommend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。

""I'll be right back," Steller said.She drove off, went to the salon (美发厅) she owns, and moved a red chair into her car. en she drove back. The man, named Edward, took a seat. She started to give him a haircut. He told her about his growing up in Mississippi and moving to Minnesota to be closer to adult children. After the haircut was done, Edward looked in a mirror and said gladly, "I look good!”To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. It's more than haircut. Steller wants it to be a gateway to express care, value and appreciation, but also to know more people.Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers: As a teen, she suffered m a serious disease and her hair thinned drastically. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut. "To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and les s alone,“ she said.After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she'd felt that day.

Now, Earther reports that a team of scientists from Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and the UK has published the most detailed data yet on the continent's subglacial topography （冰川下的地形）near the South Pole.As they report in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, central Antarctica is home to three large canyons （峡谷）, one of which is deeper than the Grand Canyon and nearly as wide at some points. The researchers made the discovery by flying a plane with radar over the South Pole, a spot that isn't covered by satellites. They expected to find mountains beneath the ice sheet, but the wide canyons they found between the mountains came as a surprise.Of the three canyons, two hadn't been documented previously. The largest, the Foundation Trough （基础槽），measures 218 miles long, up to 22 miles wide, and 6,260 feet deep, putting it up there with the planet's most impressive canyons.The discoveries are significant on their own, but the real purpose behind the research is to better understand how the West and East Antarctic ice sheets will react to rising temperatures. Human-caused climate change has made some of the continent's ice not firm, and the West Antarctic ice sheet especially has been slowly melting to the sea. If patterns continue, the coastal glaciers supporting the large ice sheets could fall down, causing sea levels to rise a minimum of 10 feet. If this happens, the canyons could be a major factor in the speed and direction of ice flow from central Antarctica to the coast.The event isn't likely to happen in the near future, but further study o£ Antarctica's topography will allow scientists to better predict when it might.8．Which of the following have scientists known little?A．The shape of Antarctica ice.B．The condition of Antarctica ice.C．The Grand Canyon.D．The beneath of Antarctica ice.9．Which of the following is found by a plane with radar?A．The Grand Canyon.B．The mountains.C．Three large canyons.D．Ice sheets.10．How do the scientists feel about finding the wide canyons?A．Unexpected. B．Interesting.C．Ridiculous. D．Common.11．What's the aim of the study?A．To document the three canyons.B．To find out how large the three canyons are.C．To know how ice sheets react to rising temperatures.D．To show the importance of the three canyons.Hugging a dog is one of the life's greatest joys. It is like experiencing a love drug, which is quite true.Dogs and humans always interact with each other. And if you get to have dogs and hug them every day, you just might live longer than people who don't have to clean animal hair off their clothes, according to a pair of studies recently.The studies, published in the journal Circulation：Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, suggest that dog ownership is linked to a 21% reduction in the risk of death-over the 12-year period studied-for people with heart disease. When you look at all the evidence around dog ownership and their health, it's pretty clear the signal is real.We’ve known forever that owning a dog increases one's physical activity. Regardless of weather, you have to get out and walk the dog. Otherwise, you might stay home and watch TV. Owning a dog makes you spend more time outdoors, and time spent outdoors improves health. Owning a dog or interacting with a dog even for a short term also reduces blood pressure. Andthe biggest advantage of having a dog is what it does for mental health. We see very beneficial effects on depression and anxiety.Many of us may not have a dog. And these studies have finally convinced someone to get one. We've thought of dogs as a form of comfort. The study forces a rethinking of pets in our society. We've started out with dogs as accomplices during hunts as hunter-gatherers. Gradually, we selected for traits of loyalty and friendship. At this point, many of us can totally see the basic reasons why dogs improve our sense of well-being, reduce loneliness and can be an improvement to our physical and mental health.12．Who might live longer according to the study?A．People who hate dogs. B．People who have dogs.C．People who haven't dogs. D．People who like bathing pets. 13．What can we infer about getting a dog in paragraph 3?A．It can cure heart disease.B．It can help improve health.C．It can make people more energetic.D．It can stop people from getting ill.14．What is the largest benefit of getting a dog?A．Improving physical health. B．Enjoying outdoor activities. C．Improving mental health. D．Strengthening patience and love. 15．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To show his love of dogs.B．To share his own experience of keeping a dog.C．To introduce a new life style.D．To state the finding of a study about keeping dogs,二、七选五Using Healthy Cooking Methods Is ImportantEating healthier meals is a big part of taking good care of yourself and your family, but eating healthier meals doesn't mean you have to give up your favorite food. 16．Boil vegetables and meats without using any oils or fats. 17． . It's not only healthier than using lots of fats, but also it keeps the nutrients of the foods. All you need to boil food is a large pot, water, and a little bit of salt. Carrots, cabbages, potatoes, chicken and beef are just a fewchoices for food you can boil.Steam vegetables and fish to keep all the nutrients unbroken. You can place a steaming basket over a pot of boiling water and place them in the steamer basket to contain all the juices. Simply bring a pot of water to boil. 18．. Add your food to the basket. Add some salt or lemon juice to your steamed vegetables or fish for some extra flavor.19．Barbecue is great from a certain point of view because it makes your meat soft and tasty while also letting the fat drip away from it, which is healthier for you. It also passes on a nice flavor to meats and vegetable. You can roast steak and chicken, as well as vegetables, like potatoes, peppers, onions, and even lettuce.Try eating raw foods to avoid losing any nutrients through cooking. Focus on eating uncooked foods. 20．Eating only raw foods isn't recommended for children or for women who are pregnant.A．Place your steam basket on topB．Roast meats and vegetables for less fatC．Fruit and vegetables are good for healthD．Boiling is a simple and healthy way to cookE.Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds can be eaten uncookedF.Eating healthy means cooking less meat but more vegetablesG.Learn how to cook food in a healthier way may help eat healthily三、完形填空I am a teacher at a private school.

It's somewhat difficult to figure out the rules for sure. Here, one bell means “elephant”, two, “rhino”(犀牛), and three and four, I really can't remember for what, because when you're awoken by bells in the middle of the night, your first thought won't be “Animal!”. But as soon as I realized it was the rhino alarm, I was running for the stairs.A baby African buffalo and a baby rhino stood a couple feet apart, staring at each other. Behind them, their mothers were looking on with the kind of indifference of mothers everywhere who see their kids playing a harmless game. Of course, I'm the only one watching the animals stare-down. Either everyone else died of a heart attack when the bells went off, or I was the only one in the entire hotel who didn't turn the alarm switch to off before going to bed.The Ark, a hotel shaped like the biblical ark(圣经的方舟), lies in the highlands of Kenya's Aberdare National Park, about 100 kilometers north of Nairobi. At the Ark's prow(船首) are huge windows overlooking a waterhole. Earlier tonight, I'd watched a pack of wolves, buffaloes and elephants. And now, at three or so in the morning, I'm down for rhino bells. The first time, 2.5 hours ago, it was a single black rhino, which came down, got a drink, and left.I'd have been sorry for the lost sleep. I've already arranged with a guide to take me out at sunrise for the so-called “should-never-miss” bird-watching, where we'll get to see 30 species, but really, how many times in your life willyou get to wake up and say, “Wow! Rhino!” Isn't that the definition of a pretty good night? Last week we went from Uganda into Kenya. Before I left home, I thought I'd be happy with ten elephants and five or six giraffes on the whole trip. I didn't dare to dream the rhino.4. The message that the hotel's bells sent was _______________.A. significant for visitors to avoid dangerB. a matter that all visitors had got used toC. hard for the author to remember in detailD. a wise alarm the author had never heard of5. What did the author see at about 3:00 a.m.?A. Rhinos and buffaloes were fighting for water.B. A rhino and a buffalo were staring at each other.C. A buffalo was watching its baby play with rhinos.D. A boat-shaped hotel was overlooking a waterhole.6 . What can we learn from the passage?A. The author likes all the animals.B. The author has only interest in rhinos.C. There are various wild animals near the Ark.D. The author didn’t sle ep well during the whole trip.7. What's probably the author's attitude towards the bell?A. It should be turned off when it rings.B. It’s bothering but rewarding.C. It is a bad way to wake the guests up.D. It brings visitors a chance to see buffaloes.CIt was back in 2014. I learned I needed an operation to remove the tumor (肿瘤). Hearing the word “cancer” was the first shock, but knowing the surgeon would have to cut the front of my neck open was a lot to swallow. I was relieved to learn that thyroid (甲状腺) cancer can be treated if caught early, but 1 wasn’t thrilled it would mean a lifelong scar front and center on my neck.Back at home, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I admired my neck, running my finger across a delicate gold chain I wore. Then came a tiny voice, “Mommy!” My then five year -old son. Jack, appeared in the mirror behind me. Our reflection was a big reality check. See, my son didn’t know I had been diagnosed (诊断) with the Big C, or that I was having an operation. I patiently explained my condition to him and told him I would have a scar on my neck after the operation.I never had any intentions of hiding the scar. I didn’t want my son to think my scar was something to be ashamed of. I was his role model and I needed to set a good example. Bad things can happen, but it’s how you deal with them that matters.The operation was successful. The recovery process, bearing it all, in the grocery store, out to dinner with family and on the summer camp pickup line, made me realize, if I could get through this phase (阶段),I could bear the scar of survival forever. The scar proves I looked at fear in the face and won.People will ask about my scar even t hough it’s a very thin dull line five years later. That means I have the chance to educate others about thyroid cancer and how they should self-check their necks and remind their doctors to do the same, at yearly physicals. To me, the scar is like a superhero stamp.8．What’s the author worried about before the operation?A．Her neck would look ugly. B．The tumor couldn’t be removed.C．Jack couldn’t take care of himself.D．She would have difficulty swallowing.9．Why did the author decide to face the reality bravely?A．She didn’t care how people liked her.B．She realized she didn’t have other choice.C．She wanted to set a good example to her son.D．She felt lucky to have her cancer caught early.10．What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?A．She has a better chance of education.B．She feels proud of what she has done.C．She has become an expert in cancer treatment.D．She has suffered from poor health for five years.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
