The reason why I want to be a writer is that writing gives me the p ower to create worlds and people out of nothing. We can crea te a picture in a few minutes with our minds. We have the pow er to influence others, even people we’ve never met!I have always wondered if it is the same thing that drives me, as a writer, as what drives video game creators or directors. We are all creating something out of nothing. The thing that is so amazing about writers is that we create something out of t ools that don’t cost more than a dollar (a piece of paper and a pencil)．For writers it is all in our head. Our wonderful brain i s our tool.Some people have this simple way of writing that can sweep us off our feet. Those who have this gift often do not see the b eauty in it. It is sad really. Writing is such a basic element(元素)in our society that many take advantages of it and don’t re alize its greatness. It takes someone from the inside to unders tand and admire the art of putting words together to form a se ntence; it sounds so simple and yet there is so much more to i t than meets the eye.Being a writer is a wonderful thing—something that is gifted to all of us who have the ability to for m sentences on paper. Being a good writer or even great writ er is the hard part. Oh! And don’t even get me started on bein g a published writer.28．Why do most people think “I” to be strange when hearing “I want to be a writer” ?A．Because they consider writing as a difficulty.B．Because writing isn’t popular with the locals. C．Because writers are very crazy and strange. D．Because people can’t make money by writing.29．For the writer, what is the most important tool for writing? A．A pencil. B．Wonderful brain. C．A piece of paper. D．A computer.30．In which part of a website may the passage appear? A．Entertainment. B．Hobby. C．Life. D．Edu cation.31．Which is the best possible title of the passage? A．Being a writer B．A strange person C．A cheap career D．Our wonderful brainDWhile both Europe and the United States of America are cons idered the Western world, it’s good to know there are some dif ferences in culture. If you are considering moving to a Europe an country, you will find the information below helpful as you p lan your move.One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(理解，认为) time and space. For example, a house in the United State s that is 200 years old would be considered ancient. This is probably because America is a fairly young country. However, i n Europe, something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2，000 years old. However, perception of distance seems to be t he opposite. While Europeans would consider 100 kilometers a long way to drive, Americans would not think twice. This cou ld be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily p opulated. In fact, the United States is over twice the size of Eu rope.Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe an d the United States. American automobiles usually have auto matic transmissions(自动变速器) while European cars generally have manual gears(手动变速器)．European automobiles are smaller and more roundshap ed, while American cars are larger and more squareshaped.T rucks and limousines(豪华轿车) are vehicles that Americans enjoy. In Europe, however, th ese types of vehicles are hardly seen, as they prefer smaller c ars due to parking_and_traffic_congestion．The view of education is another cultural difference between t he European countries and the United States. In America, par ents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college. Most schools and universitie s in Europe, however, are free of tuition. In fact, children are e xpected to attend college there.32．The author wrote the first paragraph mainly to__________．A．tell the differences between Europe and America B．advise people to travel to Europe and America C．introduce the topic of this passage to the readers D．persuade people to live in a European country 33．Which of the following shows the Americans’ perception of time?A．An ancient house has a history of 200 years.B．Europe has been at least 2，000 years old.C．A hundred kilometers is a long way to drive.D．It is proper to drive a distance of 100 kilometers. 34．The underlined phrase “parking and traffic congestion” in Paragraph 3 means “__________”．A．people like parking their cars on the roadB．the cars go through the parks now and thenC．it is easy to park and drive on the highwayD．parking is not easy and the traffic is heavy35．It can be concluded from the last paragraph that________．A．Americans are richer than EuropeansB．Americans work harder than EuropeansC．the children in Europe needn’t go to schoolD．it costs Americans a lot of money to go to college第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

Only one of his ships, Victoria completed the journey.Laozi lived in the 6th century BC. It is believed that he wrote the Daodejing.

The dog’s owner—Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane-we’re hoping for a miracle (奇迹). But I told the family there were no miracles left for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia (安乐死) for the old dog in their home. As we made the arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they bought it would be good for the four-year-old Shane to observe the euthanasia.They felt Shane could learn something from the experience.。

They include both natural and man-made sights.24.What does the author intend to tell in the passage?A. What to do when you stay in NYC.B. How to go sightseeing if you visit NYC.C. Where to stay if you come to NYC.D. How to have fun when you live in NYC.BIt is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.25. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “freak out” in Par agraph 1?A. Feel shy.B. Stay calm.C. Keep up.D. Feel upset.26. In Paragraph 2, the writer implies that ______.A. problems cause troublesB. attitude is everythingC. challenges can be avoidedD. personalities are built on failures27. According to the last paragraph, when we’ re in trouble, we ______.A. can only depend on our parentsB. are not aloneC. should only believe ourselvesD. are not confident28. What’ s the writer’ s purpose to write the passage?A. To encourage.B. To compare.C. To prove.D. To explain.29. What can be the best title of the passage?A. How to Avoid ProblemsB. Challenges Are EverywhereC. Face Your Challenges BravelyD. You Are Loved Wherever You AreCIt was simply laziness that led me to fall in love with a blackbird. I’d not got round to harvesting all my grapes, and as I watched them rot, I felt a pain at how terrible a gardener I’d become. Fruit left on the vine too long may harbour diseases. I’d look out at plenty of bunches slowly turning into one dark, weak mass and say, "Tomorrow. I’ll do it tomorrow."Then I saw a blackbird settle on my outdoor table and fly to pluck (摘)a grape and return to the table to eat it. This task was repeated day after day.I don’t know why this took me by surprise. Blackbirds like all the fruits once they’re soft enough to eat. Still, I felt delighted and relieved.There are lists upon lists of plants that are good for birds, whether because they attract insects, or because they are rich in berries(浆果) or nuts. There is a theory that fruits that are similar in colour to our native types are more desirable to birds, so white fruit will not be as favoured as red or orange. However, anyone who has grown dogwood(梾木) will know that once those yellow leaves drop to expose deep red stems decorated with white berries, the birds begin to eat them. They are able to learn new tricks.If you don’t have spac e for bigger-berried trees, make attractive bird feeders in large pots that are no longer needed for summer bedding or vegetables. To give small birds some protection, tie together strong stems to form loose cages. Into these bring seed heads, using the stems to hold them in place. Sunflower heads, for example, can be put in. Position the pots close to the house, and you can watch them quietly from indoors.30.How did the author feel when he watched the grapes rot on the vine?A. Horrible.B. Guilty.C. Helpless.D. Surprised.31.What can be inferred about dogwood according to the text?A. It is a non-native plant.B. It bears hard nuts.C. The color of its fruit is red.D. Its fruit is delicious to eat.32.Why does the author suggest making loose cages with stems?A. To watch birds more easily.B. To protect some small birds.C. To stop stems growing wildly.D. To prevent stems taking up too much room.DAs far as children’s museums go, new and exciting exhib its are always on the list to keep kids entertained and intrigued. But how to keep the kids interacting while still dealing with real life issues and enabling them to step into the footsteps of those with an entirely different view from their own? Enter th e Israeli Children’s Museum in Holon. The museum offers a thoughtful display of rotating(旋转的) exhibits and is home to three permanent exhibits. The exhibits —Invitation to Silence, Dialogue with Time, and Dialogue in the Dark —are unlike most any other experiences you’ll find in any typical children’s museum.Invitation to Silence is an exhibit that enables participants to understand what it is like to live in the world of those who are hearing-impaired. The guides are deaf or hearing-impaired themselves and take participants on a 75-minute active journey, walking them through an experience of alternative communication, where non-spoken languages —"hearing with one’s eyes", sign languages and body languages are the only options.Dialogue with Time is a one-of-a-kind exhibit guided by those 70 years old and older. It helps visitors to have the concept of old age and aging, through an intergenerational dialogue of experiences and games so that they can learn what it is truly like to age in our society as a whole.Dialogue in the Dark is guided by the blind and those who are vision-impaired. The 75-minute tour is in complete darkness, tracking interpersonal and group dialogue settings that reassess the stereotypes(刻板印象) associated with being blind.All three exhibits offer children and adults valuable social lessons and a peek into worlds that are otherwise hard to explain. These exhibits can give participants new views, gratitude, and empathy for the disabled while also championing their efforts in the challenges of everyday life, by giving power and admiration to each group.33.The purpose of the text is mainly to _____.A. present unique exhibits on display for childrenB. talk about creative ways to make museums livelyC. attract visitors to a museum for students in HolonD. introduce a museum for visitors to experience disability34. How can visitors communicate with the guide in Invitation to Silence?A. By making a phone call.B. By using body languages.C. By talking in a low voice.D. By writing on a piece of paper.35. Dialogue in the Dark helps visitors learn about problems with _____.A. being deafB. being blindC. being dumbD. being too old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 was a very strict upbringing.On the first day of my second grade, my father asked me if I could read well. “Yes, I can,” I said. So he gave me a hand-draw map with street names and directions on how to walk to school. The school was three miles away, and I had never been there by myself.He handed me the map and my lunch box and said, “Don’t stop and don’t turn back.”I was standing, scared, but he kissed me goodbye and sent me out of the door. On my way to school, I couldn’t help crying, but I continued to walk. I didn’t know how long it would take me to get there, or how many fearful and anxious moments I would have, but I do remember forever how I felt when I came around the last corner, and saw my school.My heart was filled with relief and joy. I made it! I wished I could tell my father right then that I had made it. When he got home, he said to me, “Hi, did you have fun?” I murmured, “Yes,” and waited for him to ask what had happened, but he never did.Years later, I finally got the courage to ask him why he did that and why he didn’t care about what had happened. He just looked at me for a few minutes and then said, “I didn’t have to ask you, because I knew. I followed you the whole way. I saw you jump up and down at the last street corner. I felt what you felt.” Then I understood and cried.24 According to the passage, how many children does the author’s father have?A FiveB ThreeC EightD Nine25 Which of the following statements is TRUE on the first day of the author’s second grade?A The author asked her father’s permission to go to school on her own.B The author’s father gave the author lots of directions and guidance before he let her go to school alone.C The author cried because she couldn’t see her father and lost her way.D The author felt relieved and joyful when she finally reached school by herself.26 We can know from the passage that __________.A the author misunderstood her father at firstB the author hates her father because he was too strict with herC the author’s father didn’t care about the author’s feelings at allD the author’s father regretted for what he had done to his daughter27 What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A Living in a big family is not good at all.B Parents’ love for their children is often unnoticed.C Children cannot grow up under parents’ protection.D We should be brave enough to accept challenge at a young age.CAfter a serious accident ended his snowboarding career, Kevin Pearce is starting over and looking to a new future.Kevin Pearce has no memory of the crash that brought his snowboarding career to a sudden stop. On December 31,2009, he was training for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Park City, Utah, when he fell and hit his head on the edge of the halfpipe(U型管).Luckily, he was wearing a helmet. Doctors say it saved his life. But he suffered a brain injury that affected his vision, balance and memory. He spent four months recovering in hospitals. He still can’t recall several weeks of his life after the accident. What he does remember is watching the Olympics on TV and seeing Shaun White win the gold. “It was hard lying there in the shape I was in, watching those guys do amazing tricks,”admits Pearce, looking through thick glasses. They keep him from seeing double.Today, Pearce’s focus is getting his health back to 100%. So far, he has made progress in his physical therapy(治疗). A year ago, he couldn’t walk straight. Now, not only can he walk, he can drive again, too.Pearce says his speedy recovery is the result of his fans, his friends and mostly, his family. His mother, Pia, says her youngest son’s positive attitude helped too. “I knew Kevin was going to find a way to be OK. ”Those days, Pearce is back on the snowboarding circuit, instead of performing tricks, though, he’s commenting on them from the broadcasting booth(小房间). He still longs for competition. But he understands the danger of another fall.28 The main purpose of the text is to _________.A stress the importance of a strong willB explain the meaning of fair competitionC advise people to live a healthy lifeD introduce one popular winter sport29 Kevin Pearce say nothing about the accident because he _______.A has no memory of the accidentB isn’t allowed to say anything about itC lost the power of speech in the accidentD doesn’t want to recall the terrible experience30 The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to _________.A Pearce’s friendsB other playersC Pearce’s thick glassesD other players’ tricks31 What can be inferred from Pearce’s mother words?A She is very worried about her son’s healthB She has confidence in her son’s recoveryC She is thankful to her friends and relativesD She regrets she can’t help her son recoverDMany people who work in London prefer to live outside it，and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train，car or bus，even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money，one can get a little house in the co untry with a garden of one’s own.Then，in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses，one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings，one can enjoy the fresh，clean air of the country. If one likes gardens，one can spend one’s free time digging，planting，watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then，when the flowers and vegetables come up，one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.Some people，however，take no interest in country things：for them，happiness lies in the town，with its cinemas and theatres，beautiful shops and busy streets，dance halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fort night’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want：the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.32．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．People who like country things prefer to live outside the city.B．People who work in London prefer to live in the country.C．Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London，some people who work in Londonprefer to live inside London.D．Because of certain advantages of living outside London，many people who work in London prefer to live outside London.33．One can use the same money for________ to buy a little house with a garden in the country. A．getting a small flat with a gardenB．having a small flat with a gardenC．renting a small flat without a gardenD．buying a small flat without a garden34．When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up，those________ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.A．who live in the countryB．who have spent time working in the gardenC．who have a garden of their ownD．who have been digging，planting and watering35．People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that________ if they had to live it outside London.A．their life was meaninglessB．their life was invaluableC．they didn’t deserve a happy lifeD．they were not worthy of their happy life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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Here are some restaurants where you can sit, grab a bite to eat and watch the show．The Roof on Wilshire offers a view of the city, so chances are that you'll be able to catch a fireworks show while you're up there． The restaurant will also offer an all﹣you﹣can﹣eat menu for ＄20 that includes all beef hot dogs and sweet potato chips． The festivities will take place from 2 to 11 pm． Reservations are recommended． 6317 Wilshire Blvd．, Los Angeles, （323）852﹣6002．Whiskey Red's is located in Marina Del Rey． Beginning at 5: 30 pm, it will include live music from Jack of Hearts． The event is free and open to the public． Guests can make reservations from 5: 30 to 10 pm． It costs ＄59 to reserve a seat on the patio（露台） and ＄49 for indoor seating． Kids aged 5 to 12 need ＄25 for a seat outside and ＄20 for an indoor seat． Kids aged four and below are free． 13813 Fiji Way, Marina Del Rey, （310）823﹣4522．High Rooftop lounge（休息室） in Venice at the top of the Hotel Erwin offers views of the Venice coastline． The fireworks show starts at 9 pm． The rooftop lounge offers a full menu of cocktails and a selection of snacks． 1697 Pacific Avenue, Venice Beach, （800）786﹣7789．The last one is Carbon Beach Club at the Malibu Inn． Here you can see fireworks from a seat on the restaurant's oceanfront balcony from 6 to 9: 30 pm． Reservations are recommended． 22878 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, （310）456﹣6444．（1）Which restaurant will provide live music during fireworks？________A Carbon Beach Club．B Whiskey Red's．C Wilshire．D High Rooftop lounge．．（2）Where can you get an all﹣you﹣can﹣eat menu with ＄20？________A Wilshire．B Whiskey Red's．C High Rooftop lounge．D Carbon Beach Club．．（3）Which telephone number will you dial if you want to reserve a seat on an oceanfront balcony？________A （323）852﹣6002．B （310）823﹣4522．C （800）786﹣7789． D （310）456﹣6444．2. I stand in the playroom holding an empty suitcase． We are moving from Switzerland to Singapore and can only pack a few toys to keep us going until the rest arrive by ship months later．In go the story cubes ﹣ imaginative picture dice（骰子）that inspire stories and drawings． Both kids like working with their hands, so in go pom﹣poms, pipe cleanersand paper punches（纸打孔机）． Next, a kingdom of small animal statues marches two﹣by﹣two into the case． They have been my children's favorites in the past month．But the rest have hardly been touched ﹣ and the shelves are still packed with various toys． So why do we have so many toys?Psychologist Oliver James, author of the parenting book Love Bombing says, "Most children need a transition object, for example, their first teddy bear that they take everywhere． But everything else is a socially generated want．"Yet, it seems we are keen to generate our children's wants ﹣ the Toy Retailers Association reports that the British alone spend £3 billion each year on toys．Those who advocate fewer toys say children will seem to fight less if they have a wide choice of toys, but, at the same time, they may learn to think of nobody but themselves．Joshua Becker, a father of two who writes about how to simplify both home and lifestyle, says, "People co﹣operate better and share when resources are limited, and the same is true for children．" This minimalism（极简主义）affects the whole Becker family, with the kids given a limited space to store their toys, forcing them to adopt a "one in, one out" policy． He sees his kids "filling their time with creativity" ﹣ taking their cycles to the park, inviting friends over to play with dolls, and doing art projects． In addition, he says, they can focus for a longer time, take better care of their possessions and grow more resourceful．Now Swiss cold will be replaced by Singaporean rains． The change forces me to consider minimalism about toys． Maybe the kids don't need ________ ﹣ in fact, we're not short of ways to play more with less．（1）What's the main reason that the author only brings several toys？________A She can't carry too many toys with her．B She decides to give her children fewer toys．C Her children don't like the rest of their toys．D The new playroom is too small for all the toys．．（2）What's Oliver James' attitude towards children having too many toys？________A He doesn't believe it．B He doesn't support it．C He is curious aboutit． D He is worried about it．．（3）According to Joshua Becker， what is one of the advantages of minimalism？________ A Valuing time． B Saving money． C Children fighting more． D Children co ﹣operating better．．（4）What does the underlined word "them" in the last paragraph refer to？________A Changes．B Ways．C Policies．D Toys．3. In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless． While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge （排放） your body's toxins（毒素） and recover your energy．One popular option is hot﹣stone massage （按摩）． Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body． The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body'stoxins．Another popular option is hot﹣stone baths． The hot﹣stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity（湿气） that accumulated during the last winter． Summer is the best season to build a good body． Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45o C． The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved． More sweat will come out quickly． The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities． Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti﹣aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief． The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted． Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot﹣stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native ofTucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is "LaStone Therapy"．The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air﹣conditioned rooms． The hot﹣stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain．（1）What do people use to release toxins in our body according to the text？________A Swimming in white water．B Living in cold winter．C Lying on the warm beds．D Discharging lots of sweat．．（2）What can we know from the text？________A People should take advantage of summer to improve their health．B There are no toxins and humidity in the body in summer．C Using water of about 45o C to wash the body is good for the health．D Sports have greater effects on the health than hot﹣stone massage．．（3）What can be learned about the hot﹣stone therapy？________A It was invented by Mary Nelson， an American．B It successfully cured many people of cancer．C It is popular with people because of its excellent effects．D It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer．．（4）Which of the following could be the best title for the text？________A The origin and development of the hot﹣stone therapyB A healthy and comfortable lifestyleC How to live comfortably in summerD The amazing functions of the hot﹣stone therapy．4. At any discussion of a job offer, money can be a deal breaker． Negotiating an attractive deal, however, can be hard for many job candidates because they lack the necessary skills or simply because they're too concerned that pushing for a high salary can cost them the job． These factors certainly can be hurdles （障碍）, but it doesn't mean that you give up trying to get the best deal you can get． Needless to say, if money isn't a big factor in your decision, you still need to make sure that the deal you're accepting is fair compared to what's offered in the market． Selling yourself short once can impact your future salaries and set you back financially．Here are common mistakes that many jobseekers commit in negotiating money．Negotiate too early． Timing is of essence in any negotiation, and negotiating a salary too early in the process can cost you dearly． Many employers, in fact, rank this as one of the biggest mistakes job candidates make． The best timing to begin a salary discussion is after you and your future employer are nearly sure that you've been selected for the position．Abandon professionalism． It's common that people, after going through a long recruitment process, can be shocked that the salary offered is significantly below their expectations． If you find yourself in this situation, don't abandon your professional attitude or ________． This likely will get you nowhere except the door．There're two options to this situation: the first is that the employer is inflexible （不灵活的） about the budget, and in this case, you may just leave and make a graceful exit from the hiring process．The second option is that there's some negotiation room for the hiring manager with other decision makers in the organization． If this is the case, you may be surprised that a final push with a positive attitude and a well﹣delivered presentation about your skills and market price can get you closer to your expected salary． Still, if this is not acceptable, you don't have to take it．（1）What is the most difficult for most jobseekers at the discussion of money according to Para． 1？________A Being too difficult to handle the money．B Not having got certain skills．C The first necessary step．D Lacking a good chance to get a job．．（2）What does the underlined part "throw a fit" in Para． 5 mean？________A Get excited．B Get angry．C Become amused．D Be delighted．．（3）What should you do if you are offered an unsatisfactory salary？________A Ask for a higher salary．B Immediately give up the job．C Just calm down and figure out the situation．D Try to prove you are the best candidate for the job．．（4）What is the main purpose of the passage？________A To offer tips on salary negotiation．B To tell common mistakes in our daily work．C To help employees get along well with their employers．D To help people perform well in job interviews．第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）5. Some people choose to grasp on to the past and play it over and over like a broken record．（1）_______ Those with no regrets let go of the past and live joyfully at present． They also live by the following principles．1． Following your unique path leads to greater fulfillment．We all have passions and inner guidance． If you follow your passions and inner guidance，your life will take on deeper meaning and fulfillment．（2）_______2． Let your passions guide you， not societal pressures．We all know the feeling of being passionate about something．（3）_______But too often we allow societal pressures to control our feeling． To check whether your passions are guiding your life， start doing what you want to．3．（4）_______We often think we will be happy once we get that job， or finish that course． The truth is that happiness comes from within． Everything outside of you is temporary． Once it goes，so will your happiness．4． Don't think twice about expressing love and appreciation．We support others by our words and actions， while receiving others' support and love back． Expressing heartfelt feelings allows us to have no regrets for whatever tomorrowmay bring．（5）_______A． It guides what we are doing．B． Understanding happiness is a choice．C． Don't settle for less than what you want．D． They， in turn， live with regret， anger， and fear．E． What is right for one person may not be right for another．F． Try living according to what your inner knowing guides you to do．G． It may also be exactly what others need to face their current challenges．第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节完形填空（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6.A Year of Living GratefullyI was in sunny California． The past two months I had been sick, sleepless, forgetful, a little mad and a little sad． I had been busy reading and learning all about stopping smoking． I changed （1）_______ that led me to smoke again． I was trying my hardest to practice （2）_______ thinking until it would come naturally． Basically, I was making （3）_______ tobacco my job!Christmas（4）_______ and it was my first smoke﹣free holiday in 37 years． I was （5）_______ in shopping, planning, cooking and wrapping．（6）_______ , the stress, the fatigue （疲乏）of overdoing and the physical and mental （7）_______ of dealing with my quit （8）_______ on Christmas Day!

Yale, Princeto n, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard. In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only you ng men went to college. All the students studied the same sub jects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could te ach everything that was known about the world. When the stu dents graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers. In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men w ho wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive th eir training in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin an d Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American histor y.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges bega n to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choo se the subjects that interested them.Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and unive rsities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There's so much to learn that o ne kind of school can't offer it all.1. From the second paragraph, we can see that in the early y ears, ______.A. those colleges and universities were the sameB. people, young or old, might study in the collegesC. students studied only some languages and scienceD. when the students finished their school, they became lawyers or teachers2. Modern languages the Harvard taught in 1825 were ______ .A. Latin and GreekB. Latin, Green, French and Ge rmanC. American history and GermanD. French and German3. On the whole, the passage is about _______.A. how to start a universityB. the world-famous colleges in AmericaC. what kind of lesson each college teachesD. how colleges have changedBAt thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊断）with a kind of attention disorder. It made schooldifficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a st ory and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my han d right away and said,“ Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I ha d to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all bec ame clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. H e lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading syste m of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to t he blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like th e “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen star ted to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I eve r give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were th ese words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”4.The author didn’t finish the reading inclass because ________.A. He was new to the classB. He was tried of literatureC. He had an attention disorderD. He wanted to take thetask home5.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passageA. He had good sightB. He made a great invention.C.

I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrou nding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first be droom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween---when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel t all and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room i n the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden d resser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime --- waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists i n my mind and heart, on a physical property (住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles . It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, a nd I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, an d my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, beca use I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm ho me.8.

He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to h is belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mothe r would pen a note--- “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”---and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it w as so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the mil k wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to tim e taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and t elling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big co mpanies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale eve rywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a deli very service.Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside. I took it home and planted it on the back porch（门廊）. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I s tart telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who bro ught us friendship along with his milk.12. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ________.A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother13. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.14. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.15. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He needed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.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，选项中有两项为多余选项How to choose a good bookMake a list answering these questions.What type of books do you like?

AFor some travelers, a typical hotel room is a bit boring. Here a re the world’s several strangest hotels.The MirrorcubeThe Mirrorcube is hung on a tree trunk and covered in mirrors . It accommodates two people at a time, with a double bed, a small bathroom and a living room. Access to the room is by a rope bridge connected to the next tree. Hidden among the tre es, the mirrors provide a 360-degree view of the surroundings.ICEHOTELICEHOTEL is the world's largest hotel made from snow and ic e. Guests can sleep in a bed made of snow and ice, at temper atures around -5 ℃.The entire building melts and gets reconstructed every year. Each November, a team of architects rebuilds the rooms fro m several hundred tons of ice. If your ideal vacation consists of walking around in snow pants and furs, ICEHOTEL is worth your visit.Marmara AntalyaMarmara Antalya provides guests with a constantly changing view. Floating in a pool of 478 tons of water and aided by six electric motors, it turns a full 360 degrees on its foundation se veral times a day.Tianzi HotelBuilt in 2016, this 10-floor building is shaped like Fu, Lu and Shou — the symbols o f Chinese gods of fortune, prosperity and longevity.Shou, on the left, is holding a peach that contains a suite(套房). Guests can enter the hotel through his right foot. If you ar e in China and near the Tianzi Hotel, visit it or stay a night bec ause you have the opportunity to rest in the world's largest im age hotel.1. What is the character of the Mirrorcube?A.

Tianzi Hotel3. What is unique to Tianzi Hotel?A. It has a long history.B. It is a 10-floor building.C. It represents good fortune.D. It is the largest image hotel.BGrowing up, I always hid my thumbs in my fists because of th eir unusual shape. Admittedly, they do look more like big toes instead of thumbs and from an early age, my thumbs earned a nickname “toe thumbs”.Then, while I was in high school, I worked as a cashier in a st ore. One day, while I was checking out a sweet old lady, she suddenly grabbed (抓住) my hands and said in a thick Polish accent, “You are Polish! Look at those beautiful Polish thumbs! They match mine!”She raised her hands and showed me her thumbs that looked exactly like mine! She grabbed and held my hands again and said, “Be proud of those thumbs and the history of your herita ge (传承) that comes with them!”I'll never forget that 30-second conversation with a stranger that forever changed my view of a part of me I once was embarrassed by and now em brace. Tonight, as I sat with my Samuel, he looked down at m y hand and said, “ Mommy! Our thumbs match!” I smiled and answered, “Yes, they do. Those are strong Polish thumbs! Be proud of them!”I no longer hide my thumbs in my fists. I'm happy that my chil d will carry on a piece of our heritage. I hope my son will neve r hide his thumbs like I did. I hope he will be proud of their “un usualness” and the history behind them. He carries on a uniq ue part of me (and all the generations before me) and that for me will always be beautiful!4. Which of the following might the author experience because of her thumbs?A. Great hardships in life.B. Being admired by her friends.C. Unexpected kindness from others.D. Being teased by surrounding people.5. What did the author and the old woman have in common?A. They had the same appearance.B. Their ancestors came from Poland.C. Their thumbs and toes looked the same.D. They felt the same towards their thumbs.6. What does the underlined word “embrace” in Paragraph 3 p robably mean?A. Be ashamed of.B. Be curious about.C. Accept willingly.D. Bear bravely.7. What is the best title for this text?A. Polish thumbsB. Polish mannersC. A heritage of beautyD. Say no to embarrassmentCIf you are standing in front of an iceberg (冰山), it might look like the largest thing you’ve seen. However, you’re still only seeing the small part above the water. About 9 0 percent of the iceberg is below the water. The same idea rel ates to culture, Amy Melendez explained.Amy teaches English and trains English educators in Washing ton. She works at a number of schools, including Northern Virginia Community College and Georgetown University. She sai d that many students and teachers mistakenly think culture is just the things that are easy to see, like food, music, clothing and holidays. But she said that most culture is represented in what cannot be seen: people's expectations, beliefs and value s.So she brings lessons about this into the classroom. She teac hes learners how to understand and value cultural differences and communicate more effectively with people from other cult ures.Like Amy, Michelle Stabler is an English educator who has ta ught intercultural communication. Currently, she is a professor of Columbia University in New York City.Both Amy and Michelle explained that the subject of cultural u nderstanding is a natural part of language teaching. They not ed that language and culture are inseparable: words and expr essions have cultural origins.They also said that cultural tolerance helps learners feel safe i n the classroom. Michelle explained, "In other words, they don 't have to worry that people are going to criticize (批评) who they are or the things that they value most and believ e in. This gives students the freedom to focus their energy on learning the language without the concern that these things that are so important to them are going to be questioned。

The deman ds of my work and my three children had made it possible to v isit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. She thought about it for a moment , and then agreed.That Friday after work, I drove over to pick her up. When I arri ved at her house, I noticed that she had curled her hair and w as wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as bea utiful as an angel’s.We went to a very nice and comfortable restaurant. After we s at down, I had to read the menu. A smile was on her lips. “It w as I who used to have to read the menu when you were a chil d”, she said. “Then it’s time that you should relax and let me r eturn the favor,” I responded.During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation----nothing special but catching up onrecent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I a greed.A few days later my mother died of an uncontemplated heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance todo anything for her. At that moment I understood the importan ce of saying in time “I LOVE YOU” and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important th an your family.

At 6:15 the next morning, my alarm cloc k rang. Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went b ack to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went o ut.Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn't help breathing it d eeply. I stretched my arms and legs, then started to run. I fou nd all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branche s were waving, as if they were welcoming me; the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, the wind was whispering, as if to say “come on, girl”. What's more interesting was those two birds, perching in the tree. They we re scared and flew away when I passed them. “Hey, chaps, re lax.” I shouted without stopping running. “Let's enjoy the beau tiful morning together!” Then miracle（奇迹） happened. The two little creatures seemed to understan d what I said. They turned back and twittered（吱吱叫） around me. “Are you singing for me?” I asked. They twitt ered again and again, sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to h ear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful life i s!Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us. Hele n Keller wrote in her famous article Three Days to See, “The s eeing see little”. Indeed, many of us ignore the beauty around us, just because we are familiar with them.

Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s b erries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.
When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.
If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.
24. What does the author seem to like about cherries?
A. They contain protein.
B. They are high in vitamin A.
C. They have a pleasant taste.
D. They are rich in antioxidants.
25. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?
A. To make them smell better.
B. To keep their colour.
C. To speed up their ripening.
D. To improve their nutrition.
26. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?
A. A dessert.
B. A drink.
C. A container.
D. A machine.
27. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A biology textbook.

D. A travel brochure.

Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”。
