After a few minutes,it’s all over. I’m trying to put my leg behind my nec k.No,that desk and I didn’t get along.Sitting still was hard enough,but I also struggled with reading.Reading out loud in class was a special kind of hell(地狱).By the third grade I had progressed from being one of “those kids” to being the “special kid”. I was found to have multiple language-based learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder (A.D.D) (注意力缺陷障碍症). I was turned into a “patient” who needed treatment rather than a human being with differences.I struggled with severe anxiety and depression at age 10.I survived this time in my life because of my mom. She knew in her heart that her child wasn’t broken and didn’t need to be fixed.My mom was right. When I think back on my school experience.I realize it wasn’t the A.D.D. that disabled me. What disabled me were limitations not in myself but in the environment. I’ve come to believe that I did not have a disability, as it is common to say, but experienced disability in environments that could not accommodate and accept my differences.In the fall of 1977,after two years at Loyola Marymount University,where my learning differences were fully accommodated, I transferred to(转学)Brown University, where I graduated with an honors degree in English literature. I still can’t spell or sit still,but I now use support and technology to relieve my weakness and build a life on my strengths. I don’t feel stupid anymore and I know that I—and others like me—can live good lives despite these challenges.24．What does the author want to tell us in the first paragraph?A. He didn’t like to study.B. He used to be active at school.C. He suffered from a broken desk.D. He had trouble sitting still in class.25．How did the author probably feel in class in his early school years?A.Exited.B.Uneasy.C.Interested.D.Bored.26．Which of the following is correct according to the last paragraph?A. He is living a good life with his weakness.B. His disability has been cured by technology.C. He got his honors degree in English literature in the fall of 1997.D. He was transferred to Brown University because of his disability.27．From the passage we learn that__________.A. a disability is nothing but a differenceB. family’s support is the most importantC. disabled people can’t live well however hard they workD. sometimes limitations of the environment disable a personCRow after row they marched — thousands of larger-than-life figures frozen in clay, a phalanx(方阵) of officials defend ing the tomb of China’s first emperor.Silently they guarded beneath the soil for 2,200 years, until a farmer digging a well in 1974 found broken piece s of unparalleled significance near China’s early capital city, Xianyang.Now those fierce warriors have reached the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts(VMFA) to tell their extraordinary story. The exhibition will be on display at VMFA from Saturday, November 18, 2017 through March 11, 2018 before traveling to the Cincinnati Art Museum.Ten of the clay figures will stand with a total of 130 objects from 14 museums and archaeological institutes in China’s Shaanxi P rovince, where the current city of Xi’an is located. Forty of the objects have never left China before. Beyond the life-size clay figures, the exhibit brings perspective with objects that range from bronze spearheads found in the emperor’s tomb to a small gold tiger that pre-dated him by more than 250 years.The fascination draws lots of visitors wherever the terracotta figures have traveled. The National Geographic Museum in Washington had a record-setting 280,000 people at itsfour-month exhibit of 15 figures in 2009—2010. Chicago’s Field Museum attracted 460,000 to its 10-month exhibit that ended in January.At the same time with the VMFA exhibit, Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute will have a terracotta warriors exhibit that focuses on the science and technology that went into their creation. VMFA focuses on why they were created and how they fit into China’s long sweep of history. Each institution has 10 life-size terracotta figures on display, giving an unprecedented(空前的) opportunity to study them in depth.The VMFA exhibition is divided into three sections. The first one introduces the emperor; the second puts him in context with artifacts from the warring states; the third shows his journey into the afterlife.28. According to Paragraph 2, some of the items on display .A. have not gone abroadB. have just been discoveredC. are from museums all over ChinaD. were earlier than China’s first emperor29. How many American cities will hold the exhibition of terracotta warriors?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.30. How do Americans think of terracotta warriors?A. Attractive.B. Aggressive.C. Professional.D. Conservative.31. What is the best title for the text?A.Terracotta Warriors of ChinaB.The Exhibit of China’s First EmperorC.Terracotta Warriors Exhibits in the USD. New Discoveries in Terracotta WarriorsDGenealogy, also known as family history, is the study of families and the footmarks of their lineages(家系) and history. Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to prove kinship(亲属关系) and lineages of its members. The results are often displayed in charts or written as descriptions.The pursuit of family history and origins tends to be shaped by several impetuses, including the desire to carve out a place for one’s family in the larger historical picture, a sense of responsibility to preserve the past for future generations, and a sense of self-satisfaction in accurate storytelling.In communitarian societies, one’s identity is established as much by one’s kinnetwork as by individual achievement, and the question ＂Who are you?＂ would be answered by a description of father, mother, and lineages. New Zeala nd Māori, for example, learn genealogies to discover who they are.In societies such as Australia or the United States, there was by the 20th-century growing pride in the pioneers and nation-builders. Establishing descent(继承) from these was, and is, important to such groups as the Daughters of the American Revolution(DAR).Modern family history explores new sources of status, such as celebrating the rebirth of families that survived generations of poverty or slavery, or the success of families in combining across racial or national boundaries. Some family histories even emphasize links to celebrity criminals, such as the bushranger(绿林好汉) Ned Kelly in Australia.The growing interest in family history in the media coupled with easier access to online records has allowed those who are curious to do so to start investigating their ancestry. This curiosity can be particularly strong among those whose family histories were lost or unknown due to, for example, adoption or separation from family, perhaps as a result of bereavement(丧失).32. Which of the following is connected with genealogy?A. The DNA tests.B. Historicalnovels.C. Political positions.D. Education standards.33. What is the meaning of the underlined word ＂impetuses＂ in Paragraph 2?A. Results.B. Drives.C. Categories.D. Exploitations.34. Why do Māori study genealogies?A. To get achievements.B. To learn their origins.C. To change their identities.D. To create their kin network.35. What do we know about genealogy from Paragraph 4?A. DAR is a genealogy organization.B. Organizations have their genealogy.C. Australia is a pioneer in genealogy.D. Genealogy inspires the love for nation.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。

Elmstreet Village CinemaB.Findley Park Cinema D. The Orange Cinema CompanyBOne afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son’s school being comforted by teachers. That morning, my 11-year-old had stomach pains, retching（干呕）into a bowl. Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficult sleeping the night before.What caused so much pain? Sports day. Sports day might be necessary at a highly-competitive independent school, but not at a village primary school. For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day cause no problem. For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is nightmare（噩梦）. Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disease.Why do we put our children through this annual suffering? Some may say competition is character building; or it’s taking part, not winning, that’s important; or that’s a tradition of school life. I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting — and were fun to watch. More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone’s eyes. Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other lesscompetitive event. Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.5. What can we learn about the author’s son from Paragraph 1?A. He talked with some mothers.B. He comforted his classmates.C. He had difficulty in sleeping.D. He suffered from stomachache.6. Sports day is still an annul event in this school probably because __________.A. this is an independent schoolB. it is a tradition of the schoolC. it helps children lose weightD. children enjoy watching sports7. What does the author think about team games?A. They should include more stressful races.B. They are acceptable to different children.C. They should be abandoned at primary school.D. They are less fun for those who love running.CPeak sun health bodies have increased their advice on when to use sunscreen (防晒霜), now suggesting Australians apply it every day to avoid harmful health effects.The update is the result of a Sunscreen Summit which took place in the Australian State of Queensland. During the summit, representatives from some of Australia’s leading research, medical and public health bodies examined the current evidence on sunscreen use and determined that in most parts of the country it is beneficial to apply sunscreen every day.“Up until now, most public health organizations have recommended applying sunscreen ahead of planned outdoor activities but haven’t specifically recommended applying it every day as part of a morning routine,” associate professor Rachel Neale from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute said. “In recent years, it has become clear that the DNA damage that causes skin cancer and melanoma (黑色素瘤) accumulates with repeated small does (剂量) of sunlight,” Neale said. “In Australia, we get a lot of sun exposure from every day activities such as walking to the bus stop or train station, or hanging out washing,”Neale said.Troublingly, a study showed that one in two Australians believed it was unhealthy and potentially dangerous to use sunscreen every day, which Terry Slevin from the Public Health Association of Australia says is wrong. “There is consistent and compelling evdience that sunscreens are safe, and reactions occur in a very low proportion of the population,” Slevin said. “Importantly, clinical trials (临床试验）have found that peoplewho use sunscreen daily have the same levels of vitamin D as those who don’t,” Slevin added.Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, which is made worse by the country’s proximity to Antarctica where there is a hole in the ozone layer (臭氧层), letting in higher numbers of UV rays.8.Which of the following is the misunderstanding of many Australians?ing sunscreen daily is bad to people’s healthB.Sunscreen reaction will never take place.ing sunscreen daily can lower levels of vitaminD.ing sunscreen daily can avoid skin cancer.9. Which of the following best explains “compelling” underlined in Para 4?A.interestingB. disappointingC. surprisingD. convincing10. What can we know about UV rays?A.They have only affected Australia.B.They are the only cause of skin cancer.C.They are harmful to people.D.They only exist in Antactica.11. What does the passage manly tell us?A.Experts recommend new ways to sunscreen use.B.Experts advise us to exercise a lot outdoors.C.Sunshine is bad for our health in a long run.D.Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer.DWhen you look at fashion shows or see the latest clothes for this year in a magazine, you might think you’ve seen it all before. It sometimes seems that most of the designers are just going back to ideas that have already been around at least once before. If you really want to know what the future of fashion is, you need to look at an area that isalwasys looking forward: technology. The meeting point of fashion and technology is where the really exciting new ideas are.For several years now, people have been talking about “wearable technology”as the next big development. In fact, some products that fit this description are already in the shops. You can buy watches that do everything your smart phone can do, or glasses with computers in that follow your eye movements and feed information to you as you walk around. But there’s much more to wearable technology than that.Sports clothing is one area where new ideas are developing very fast. Runners and other sports people already wear small computers on their wrists that give them continuous information about how fast they’re running, how hard their bodies are working and so on. Experts agree that it’s often sports people (ususally young men) who are the first to take up new fashion ideas. Others then follow.Women, it seems, are usually more interested in what clothes look like than what they can do, and techology has a part to play here too. Designers are already making clothes that can change color with how you are feeling, or react to sound. And if you think that sound unlikely, just think of all the things we accept as quite normal today that seemed impossible or silly only ten years ago.The main reason that things like this aren’t in normal shops is that they aren’t cheap. But, as with all technological products, the price will surely come down fast. In any case, technological clothing doesn’t have to be expensive.12. What does the author intend to tell us in the first paragraph?A.Technology develops faster than fashion.B.The old fashion ideas are more popular.C.Technology can bring new ideas to fashion.D.Fashion keeps moving forward.13.What does the underlined word “that” in Para 4 refer to?A.The fact that women prefer the fashion style.B.The truth that people’s feelings can be controlled by clothes.C.Clothes that can answer questions.D.Clothes that can change colors according to wearers’ feelings.14. What can we learn from the text?A.Technological clothing is not available on the market.B.Sports people are the first to accept new fashions.C.Women do not like technological clothing.D.Technological clothing will be expensive.15.What is the author’s attitude towards wearable technology’s future?Doubtful B. Optimistic C. Negative D. Objective第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He is a kind and generous man.D. He is in a poor health condition.26. What words can be described the girl'sD. Mean and sad.character?A. Friendly and caring.B. Greedy and kind.C.

One should live by on e's own work not by others' help.C. One should n't look dow n upon the one who n eeds help.D. Even though one has little, he should try to help others.CAdults perform better whe n they have a lot to gain or lose. But scie ntists did notknow whether tee ns did too. To find out, I nsel asked 88 people betwee n the ages of13 and 20. She had them try a game. The participa nts looked at pictures of pla netson a computer scree n. They had to click as fast as they could whe n they saw a pla netwith desig ns. They were not supposed to click if a pla net had no desig ns.The participa nts could earn 20 cents for right an swers but lose 10 cents for wrongones. In other sessions, they'd get a dollar for right answers, and lose a half dollar for wrong on es.Players of all ages wan ted to win the mon ey, and cared more about bigger rewards tha n smaller on es. As In sel expected, adults performed better whe n the stakes were high. But tee ns 13to 18 played just as well whether they stood to win 20 cents or a dollar. Only 19-or 20-year olds stepped up their game for the higher stakes.Insel's team published this work November 28, 2017, in Nature Communications.Brains cha nge and mature duri ng adolesce nee. And not all parts grow at the same rate. In sel was in terested in two areas in particular. One is deep in side the brain andjust above the ears. Called the ventral striatum （ 腹侧纹状体 ）,it helps the brain calculate rewards. The ven tral striatum becomes mature duri ng the tee n years.The brain's prefron tal cortex （前额叶）takes Ion ger to mature. This area is importa ntfor planning and setting goals. It may not mature until early adulthood.Nerve pathways — think of them as the brain's "wiring"— connect the ventral striatumand prefrontal cortex. This lets the two regions communicate to make decisions. But because the prefr on tal cortex matures later, the wiri ng betwee n the two may not be complete un til adulthood.Which of the follow ing can expla in In sel's research?A. Teens ignore key points in many aspects.27. 28.B. Adults behave better with higher rewards.C. Teens give more attention to exams than usual work.D. Adults behave more maturely than children in every way.29. What does the underlined word "stakes" refer to?A. The final results of games or experiments.B. The things that can be gained or lost in races.C. The ambitions or energies that one experiences in games.D. The powers that make one feel less pressure or pain.30. From the passage, we can know __________ .A. the experiment aims to find out adults' behaviour facing high stakesB. teens have better performances in the first roundsC. adults care less about the experiment at firstD. adults and teens show differently with high stakes31. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Unlike adults, teens don't perform better with high stakesB. Who perform better, adults or children?C. Stakes are the key points in promoting one's passionD. Whether low stakes or high stakes, one behaves similarlyDAttempting to open very old books and records without damaging them can be difficult, but scientists inSwitzerland say they have improved a method to read age-old documents without even touching them.Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology are using radiation, in the form of x-rays, tocreate images of the documents. This method is called X-ray computed tomography or X-Raytomography.Ona recent day, the researchers used X-ray tomography to read from a small 14th century document.Giorgio Margaritondo is working on the project. Reading from the document, he noted, "in the year 1351,a young lady from Venice...wrote a testament, and then the testament was sealed, and remained sealedfor all these many centuries."Italian oficials are planning to use X-Ray tomography to build an open digital system in the State Archivesof Venice. Margarit ondo says, "What you find in side the Archives are not only small docume nts. But- 5 -most of the items are huge volumes the size of atable, and so we must be able in the future to look in side them."Many of the docume nts show sig ns of weatheri ng, and are easily broke n. Fauzia Albert in is also worki ng on the project. She says, "We n eed a tech nique to read in side them.Thanks to the use for thousa nds of years of iron-based inks we can read them usingX-rays."Alberti n is also with the Swiss Federal In stitute of Tech no logy. The researchers havea lot of work to keep them busy. The State Archives of Ven ice has a huge nu mber ofrecords. They were produced over a period of about 1,000 years. The docume nts cover about 80 kilometers of shelf space.32. What writing method does the third paragraph use?A. Descripti on.B. Giving examples.C. Comparis on. C. Listi ng figures.33.

What is the purpose of Icelanders to hold the Secret Solstice festival?A. To welcome summer.B. To memorize the past winter.C. To celebrate the coming of spring.D. To advise the local beautiful landscapes.BLet me tell you about my relationship with the school desk.From my first day at Penny Camp Elementary School in 1982,it was terrible.This is how it went down: five seconds into class, the foot start bouncing;10 seconds in, both feet; 15 seconds,I burst out the drums ! After a few minutes,it’s all over. I’m trying to put my leg behind my neck.No,that desk and I didn’t get along.Sitting still was hard enough,but I also struggled with reading.Reading out loud in class was a special kind of hell(地狱).By the third grade I had progressed from being one of “those kids” to being the “special kid”. I was found to have multiple language-based learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder (A.D.D) (注意力缺陷障碍症). I was turned into a “patient” who needed treatment rather than a human being with differences.I struggled with severe anxiety and depression at age 10.I survived this time in my life because of my mom. She knew in her heart that her c hild wasn’t broken and didn’t need to be fixed.My mom was right. When I think back on my school experience.I realize it wasn’t the A.D.D. that disabled me. What disabled me were limitations not in myself but in the environment. I’ve come to believe that I did not have a disability, as it is common to say, but experienced disability in environments that could not accommodate and accept my differences.In the fall of 1977,after two years at Loyola Marymount University,where my learning differences were fully accommodated, I transferred to(转学)Brown University, where I graduated with an honors degree in English literature. I still can’t spell or sit still,but I now use support and technology to relieve my weakness and build a life on my strengths. I don’t feel s tupid anymore and I know that I—and others like me—can live good lives despite these challenges.24．What does the author want to tell us in the first paragraph?A. He didn’t like to study.B. He used to be active at school.C. He suffered from a broken desk.D. He had trouble sitting still in class.25．How did the author probably feel in class in his early school years?A.Exited.B.Uneasy.C.Interested.D.Bored.26．Which of the following is correct according to the last paragraph?A. He is living a good life with his weakness.B. His disability has been cured by technology.C. He got his honors degree in English literature in the fall of 1997.D. He was transferred to Brown University because of his disability.27．From the passage we learn that__________.A. a disability is nothing but a differenceB. family’s support is the most importantC. disabled people can’t live well however hard they workD. sometimes limitations of the environment disable a personCRow after row they marched — thousands of larger-than-life figures frozen in clay, a phalanx(方阵) of officials defend ing the tomb of China’s first emperor.Silently they guarded beneath the soil for 2,200 years, until a farmer digging a well in 1974 found broken pieces of unparalleled significance near China’s early capital city, Xianyang.Now those fierce warriors have reached the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts(VMFA) to tell their extraordinary story. The exhibition will be on display at VMFA from Saturday, November 18, 2017 through March 11, 2018 before traveling to the Cincinnati Art Museum.Ten of the clay figures will stand with a total of 130 objects from 14 museums and archaeological institutes in China’s Shaanxi Province, where the current city of Xi’an is located. Forty of the objects have never le ft China before. Beyond the life-size clayfigures, the exhibit brings perspective with objects that range from bronze spearheads found in the emperor’s tomb to a small gold tiger that pre-dated him by more than 250 years.The fascination draws lots of visitors wherever the terracotta figures have traveled. The National Geographic Museum in Washington had a record-setting 280,000 people at its four-month exhibit of 15 figures in 2009—2010. Chicago’s Field Museum attracted 460,000 to its 10-month exhibit that ended in January.At the same time with the VMFA exhibit, Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute will have a terracotta warriors exhibit that focuses on the science and technology that went into their creation. VMFA focuses on why they were created and how they fit into China’s long sweep of history. Each institution has 10 life-size terracotta figures on display, giving an unprecedented(空前的) opportunity to study them in depth.The VMFA exhibition is divided into three sections. The first one introduces the emperor; the second puts him in context with artifacts from the warring states; the third shows his journey into the afterlife.28. According to Paragraph 2, some of the items on display .A. have not gone abroadB. have just been discoveredC. are from museums all over ChinaD. were earlier than China’s first emperor29. How many American cities will hold the exhibition of terracotta warriors?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.30. How do Americans think of terracotta warriors?A. Attractive.B. Aggressive.C. Professional.D. Conservative.31. What is the best title for the text?A.Terracotta Warriors of ChinaB.The Exhibit of China’s First EmperorC.Terracotta Warriors Exhibits in the USD. New Discoveries in Terracotta WarriorsDGenealogy, also known as family history, is the study of families and the footmarks of their lineages(家系) and history. Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to prove kinship(亲属关系) and lineages of its members. The results are often displayed in charts or written as descriptions.The pursuit of family history and origins tends to be shaped by several impetuses, including the desireto carve out a place for one’s family in the larger historical picture, a sense of responsibility to preserve the past for future generations, and a sense of self-satisfaction in accurate storytelling.In communitarian societies, one’s identity is established as much by one’s kin network as by individual achievement, and the question ＂Who are you?＂would be answered by a description of father, mother, and lineages. New Zealand Māori, for example, learn genealogies to discover who they are.In societies such as Australia or the United States, there was by the 20th-century growing pride in the pioneers and nation-builders. Establishing descent(继承) from these was, and is, important to such groups as the Daughters of the American Revolution(DAR).Modern family history explores new sources of status, such as celebrating the rebirth of families that survived generations of poverty or slavery, or the success of families in combining across racial or national boundaries. Some family histories even emphasize links to celebrity criminals, such as the bushranger(绿林好汉) Ned Kelly in Australia.The growing interest in family history in the media coupled with easier access to online records has allowed those who are curious to do so to start investigating their ancestry. This curiosity can be particularly strong among those whose family histories were lost or unknown due to, for example, adoption or separation from family, perhaps as a result of bereavement(丧失).32. Which of the following is connected with genealogy?A. The DNA tests.B. Historicalnovels.C. Political positions.D. Education standards.33. What is the meaning of the underlined word ＂impetuses＂in Paragraph 2?A. Results.B. Drives.C. Categories.D. Exploitations.34. Why do Māori study genealogies?A. To get achievements.B. To learn their origins.C. To change their identities.D. To create their kin network.35. What do we know about genealogy from Paragraph 4?A. DAR is a genealogy organization.B. Organizations have their genealogy.C. Australia is a pioneer in genealogy.D. Genealogy inspires the love for nation.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 have been thinking about the question you asked me. From my point of view, you can choose to come to China after finishing your studies.For one reason, Chin a’s development over the past 30 years offers quantities of job opportunities for the young. What’s more, what you are studying is badly needed in China nowadays. In fact, many big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you.For another reason, China is a country with so different cultures and traditions from the west that many foreigners enjoy living and working here. Why not come and join them? I’m sure you will adapt to the environment quickly. If you come here, I will do what I can to help you.
