AMilan，the second largest city of Italy，has won an undesirable（不受欢迎的）world record. Of the 54 big cities studied by the World Health Organization and the United Nations，Milan was considered to have the worst air pollution. According to these two 10-year studies，the level of air pollution in Milan is twice as high as the levels in Paris and Beijing and three times those in Tokyo and London，and four times that in New York. The reason for Milan‟s bad pollution，to some experts，is that the city lies in a valley that holds back the poisonous gases. Though Milan has taken some measures（措施）to lower the level of pollution，the situation is still worrying. People joke to each other，“If you‟re traveling to Milan，be sure to bring your gas mask（面具）.”In ord er to reduce the use of private cars in 1979.the authorities （当局）in Milan began an interesting experiment：Passengers in the city buses didn‟t have to pay for their tickets.36．Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned（提到）in the passage?A．Milan‟s air is regarded to be worst polluted in Europe.B．Experts thought that the air in Milan was badly polluted.C．The reason for the air pollution in Milan.D．Measures have been taken by Milan to reduce the air pollution.37．Why is the air pollution in Milan so serious?A．Because the city 1ies in a place where it is difficult for polluted air to move away.B．Because too many cars are being driven in the city.C.Because the city lies in a place where there are some mountains near it. .D．Because Milan has taken some worrying measures.38．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?A．Milan has taken some measures and the air pollutions is being reduced.B．Milan has taken some measures．but the air pollution is still troublesome（麻烦的）.C．Milan has taken no measures so far to 1ower the 1evel of pollution.D．Milan has taken every step to reduce the air pollution.39．The government of Milan encouraged the people to take city buses for free in order to _____.A．have a safer transportB．stop the air pollution completelyC．increase the income（收入）of the bus companyD．reduce the pollution made by carsBThe Chinese government has announced measures to ban the production (生产)and free distribution (发放) of plastic bags to stop a growing tide of waste.Under new rules beginning on June 1, all supermarkets, department stores and shops will be banned from handing out free bags to customers. The laws, posted on a government website, called for “a return to cloth bags and shopping baskets to reduce the use of plastic bags”.While providing convenience to customers, they have also caused serious pollution, and waste of resources, because of excessive use and inadequate (不充分的) recycling,” the notice said.The elderly owner of a grocery shop, Wang Hai, said the Chinese measures could reduce sales at first but would be of great benefit in the future.Besides, it is strongly suggested that waste collectors should step up recycling efforts to reduce the amount of bags burned or buried. The government is also considering tax (税) measures to cut back on plastic bag production and sale.A similar action last year to ban free plastic bags in the southern town of Shenzhen caused a public debate, with shopkeepers worrying that customers might be turned away.China‟s action won praise from environmental organizations including Greenpeace, which officially made a statement welcoming the ban. “The government‟s announcement to ban free plastic bags is a perfect case to combine the two of the major forces in environment protection: public participation (参与) and government guidance,” Greenpeace said.Laws to reduce the use of plastic bags have been carried out in several countries including parts of South Africa, Ireland and Bangladesh. The governments in these countries either tax shoppers who use them or charge fees on companies that hand them out. Last year San Francisco became the first US city to ban plastic grocery bags and German stores must pay a recycling fee if they wish to offer them.40. What does the passage mainly tell us about?A. Laws to reduce the use of plastic bags.B. China‟s new action: ban on plastic bags.C. Environment protection or plastic production.D. Production ban to stop a growing tide of waste.41. What‟s the meaning of the underlined word “excessive” mean?A. wiseB. inadequateC. extremeD. little42. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. All of the Chinese people support the ban.B. San Francisco was the first city to ban plastic bags.C. Environmental organizations praise the new rules.D. Waste collectors are asked to pay tax on plastic bags.43. This article could most probably be found in a(n) _____________.A. newspaperB. advertisementC. travel bookD. science magazineCOn a dirt field behind a hospital in Liberia, a football match is under way. Teams of young people, many of whom were on opposite sides during the seven-year-long civil war, now compete peacefully and passionately (热诚地) on a football field.“We had no food to eat,” Edwin, 15, said. “My father and little brother died of sickness.” Edwin now plays for the Wild Lion Football Club. He has a football scholarship (奖学金) to attend a local high school. Spo rts have been a big help for Edwin. “Football,” he said, “makes me feel happy.”Each Saturday morning, lots of young people gather to take part in sports and music programmes that are part of the Support to War Affected Youth (SWAY) project. After joining the project, none of the young people have taken up arms(武器) in the recent border conflicts (冲突). And the teamwork learned on the sports field has had an effect on the way how they treat each other in their daily lives.With each new match, a bit more recovering takes place. “It does not depend on where you are from,” Edwin said. “We come together as one.”Liberia is not the only place where football and other sports are helping young people get an education. In Brazil, where football is a national passion, a programme called “Spacesof Hope” reaches out to poor children in poor areas. As part of the project, two members of the Brazilian national football team have founded centres that combine study and sports. Meanwhile, in southern Brazil, football provides an important way for troubled young people to control and direct their energy, failure and anger.44. Which of the following is TRUE about SW AY project in Liberia?A. It educates young people not to join the army.B. It helps young people to communicate in class.C. It teaches young people how to treat each other.D. It asks young people to take up arms in the recent border conflicts.45. Which of the following can be the best explanation of the underlined sentence?A. More football players get hurt in each new match.B. Children become happier after playing a new match.C. The more matches children play, the friendlier they become.D. After a new match, injured players will become healthy soon.46. From the last paragraph, we can conclude that _____________.A. sports are being used to educate young people in BrazilB. “Spaces of Hope” aims to help poor children get enough foodC. two national football players teach children how to play footballD. young people have trouble in playing football in southern Brazil47. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Playing for FameB. Playing for PeaceC. Playing for MoneyD.

Seaside flowers.D. Mountain scenery.BDo you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do, mine.Her name was Mrs.White. And I remember thinking she must be some older relation of Walt Disney's Snow White, because she had the samebright blue eyes, short dark hair, red lips and fair skin.I don't remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to writea lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistake so one day when she went in to meet Mrs.White for one of those parent-teacher meetings, she asked her why she didn't red-pencil my wrong spellings of words or point out grammatical errors?And my mother says Mrs.White said -The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences.I don't want to kill that passion(激情)with red ink.Spelling and grammar can wait.The wonder of words won't...And maybe she didn't say it exactly like that. It was a long time ago. And what my mother gave me was the main idea of what she could remember. I added the rest.I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence like that.I realize that if Mrs. White had used her red pencil more precisely(精确地) I probably wouldn't be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather good teacher. And thanks to Mrs. White, I had no worries about writing what I meant even if I couldn't quite spell it out.24. What used to make the author's mother concerned?A. His poor memory in writing class.B. His terrible relationship with his teacher.C. His bad performance in writing.D. His teacher's not pointing out the mistakes.25. Why did Mrs.White never correct the students' spelling and grammatical mistakes?A. Because she was not willing to use a red pencil.B.

Using a red pencil weakens the writing ability.B. A good teacher influences students a lot.C. Teachers should also learn from students.D. People who make no mistakes make nothing.CWooden houses surrounded by a thick forest, classical music playing softly in the background, a very special cafe, three meals a day and several outdoor activity areas. This sounds like a dream vacation arrangement (安排). But this is not a place for people. It’s for cats in the province of Samsun, Türkiye.Kedi Kasabas, or"cat town",is one interesting place in the country, a place where cats can experience what real comfort is!The town, which covers an area of around 20 acres,is run by the local city and most admitted guests have a hard backstory."All cats here are homeless and usually go through sufferings before being brought here. They are either injured or mentally suffer. We treat them and put them back into the town. The environment here is really beautiful for them," Faruk Kan, a Kedi Kasabas vet,said.Kan is not the only vet working at the shelter. There’s a whole team looking after the cats and making sure all their needs are met.The place even has a special area for sick or injured cats, where they receive personalized (个性化的) treatment.There are currently150 animals living in"cat town",and the number keeps rising.There are wooden houses where they can rest,and also houses designed for socializing.During the winter they are provided with heated accommodation, so feeling convenient and warm is a sure thing for these furry creatures.The love for cats seems to be a Turkish favourite. Istanbul is known for being home to several hundred thousand cats. There,people take care of street cats like kings.The four-legged friends are fed and kept healthy and they have already become part of the city view.Even though cats may have a happy life outdoors in the forest or wandering around in the city streets, there’s nothing like having a stable (稳定的) home, lying next to a human friend.28.

A human’s home.D. A pet hospital.DA group of researchers have developed a new material which is soft but very strong.It can be worn and washed like ordinary clothing and could finally turn sports clothes into smart "wearables".The so-called "carbon nanotube threads"( 碳纳米管线)can be used to measure heart rate to test heart conditions.But instead of having to be stuck on the skin, they can be fixed on a T-shirt and worn like usual athletic wear.The researchers say the threads can comfortably move with the wearer,and be washed and worn repeatedly without breaking down.Though going into production for customers is still a long way off,the material could finally help replace some medical facilities,such as the heart-rate monitoring machines and watches,in addition to other possible uses.For the latest study, researchers worked with a rope-maker to make the threads together into a material similar to ordinary thread that could be sewn(缝纫) into athletic clothes.The resulting"smart"shirt provides "soft, wearable,dry sensors for continuous" heart-rate monitoring, the study states.With some improvement, the clothes with these carbon nanotube threads could be able to track other human body life signs, according to the researchers.The"smart"shirts aren't entirely without wires(电线), however.one example shows the nanotube in the shirt feeding testing results to wires on the bottom that transmit the information through Bluetooth technology to a computer."The threadlike material—thin enough to run through a sewing machine—is not only soft and comfortable to the touch, but also so strong that you can build a power line out of it," said Dewy, a member of the research team. "Nothing else behaves like this promising material."32. What is the new material expected to do ?A. Make a new style of sportswear.B. Take the place of traditional clothes.C. Provide measurement for heartbeats.D. Help determine the type of an illness.33. What does the underlined word "transmit" mean in paragraph 4?A.Send.B.Connect.C. Add.D. Track.34.

Although it rained, everyone showed up on time. I was the only girl in the class. We all fit into two cars.Near Deary, Mr. Tier, our teacher, went into a store to ask about the direction, while townsmen looked at us with curiosity. On the store owner's advice, we drove out into the hills for a few miles. Then we left the cars. We were afraid they would get stuck in the mud.Eventually, we located the mine near the top of the mountain. There was a very small hole, running about two or three hundred feet into the mountainside. The passage（通道）was so narrow that we could touch both sides with our hands, and not tall enough to allow us to stand up straight. The first boy held the torch; we took hold of the backs of each other's coats, in a line, and followed him in, ducking our heads. After getting in, we were disappointed because it was not the mine our teacher was looking for.The rain was coming down hard as we started back to the cars to go home. Back at Deary, we went into a drugstore and stood around its big heating stove to dry out. The clerk was a middle-aged lady. Seeing our entirely wet hair and clothes, she handed each of us a cup of hot water immediately and asked if there was anything wrong with any of us.Hiking eight miles in the rain had not reduced our interest at all. We all felt we had a wonderful time, even if we didn't find the mine.4．Why did the class leave the cars halfway?A．Because their cars broke down in Deary.B．Because it was not easy to drive in the mud.C．Because townsmen were curious about their cars.D．Because the store owner gave them a wrong direction.5．What does the underlined word "ducking" in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Turning.B．Touching.C．Lowering.D．Hitting.6．Which of the following can best describe the clerk of the drugstore?A．Impatient.B．Careless.C．Hard-working.D．Warm-hearted.7．What can we know from the passage?A．The class failed to see the mica mine.B．The weather terribly influenced the trip.C．The teacher was not professional enough.D．The author was not liked by her classmates.阅读理解Is there a way to turn back the clock on your age? A new study says yes. Exercise can make you look younger. At least it can lower your fitness age — that is the measure of how well your body works.A study of athletes in the National Senior Games found that their fitness age was more than 20 years younger than their chronological age. The games took place in the Midwestern state of Minnesota. Tony Diamond took part in the games. Every morning he went to a local park and walked fast for an hour. Then, the retired navy captain ran for an hour. Two or three times a week, he went to a gym for muscle（肌肉）training. Mr. Diamond won three medals at the 2015 National Senior Games."My current age is 86 years old, and my fitness age is 44. I think I am in such good physical condition because I do a lot of exercise during my life. I have been exercising since I was a little boy," said Mr. Diamond."I'm 62 years old and my fitness results showed that I was 32 years," said Ms White.Ms. White and Mr. Diamond are some of the 5, 000 Senior Games participants who took part in the fitness age study.Pamela Peeke was an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Maryland. She worked on the study with Ulrik Wisloff at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Mr Wisloff developed a fitness calculator.An online calculator is available for anyone to use for free. Ms. Peeke says there are benefits from attending this test.The National Senior Games take place every two years. They are the competition for athletes older than 50. The games include a variety of sports.This year the average age of the people competing was 68. But their average fitness age was 43.8．What can make us look younger?A．Taking exercise.B．Becoming an athlete.C．Walking fast every day.D．Going to the park every day.9．What's the meaning of the underlined words "chronological age" in Paragraph 2?A．Mental age.B．Psychological age.C．Actual age.D．Full age.10．The example of Tony Diamond is used to ____.A．support the main idea of the passageB．prove more people like taking exerciseC．encourage more people to take exerciseD．show many people pay attention to beauty11．From the passage we may safely draw a conclusion that ____.A．the faster you walk, the healthier you areB．the older you are, the more exercise you needC．the more active you are, the younger you lookD．the more exercise you take, the longer you live阅读理解A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don't read.But how to build a habit of reading? Like any habit, the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading. "I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone, "My friend Jimmy once told me. "So if I want to check my phone, I physically can see the book there. Nine times out of ten. I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing."Another challenge is time, and in that case, audiobooks（有声书）can be a good choice. Audiobooks are great for filling the mind while you're on the way to work, washing dishes or working out at the gym.If you're still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure. You should free yourself from the opinion that only important or educational books are worth reading. There's no shame in rereading the books that made you fall in love with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.12．What is the most difficult part in forming the reading habit?A．Getting reading skills.B．Finding a great book.C．Having limited time.D．Getting reading started.13．What is the advantage of audiobooks according to the text?A．They are time saving.B．They provide more pleasure.C．They aid brain development.D．They offer more book choices.14．Why is rereading old favorite books a good idea?A．It helps restart reading.B．It is of great convenienceC．It improves the taste for art.D．It can increase your patience.15．What can be the best title for the text?A．Method of killing free timeB．Advantages of using audiobooksC．Way to choose educational booksD．Tips on developing a reading habit二、阅读理解，第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19．Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20．What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21．Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22．The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23．What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24．What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25．According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26．What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29．What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody.

At that time, the colonies were fighting for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples—a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word "head" should be spelled “hed”, and the word“laugh” should be spelled “laf”. People liked Webster’s suggestions.However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor”, and the British write “colour” and “labour”.With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to write. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828.Webster's dictionary had over 70,000 words and gave the meaning and origin of each. To this day, Webster’s work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.16．What was Noah Webster when he was young?A．A writer.B．A teacher.C．A painter.D．A reporter.17．Why did Webster decide to write books?A．Because he wanted to earn more money.B．Because he wasn’t satisfied with the books he used.C．Because there were not enough books in the market.D．Because he had to borrow books from Britain when he was a student.18．What can we learn from paragraph 3?A．Webster spoke English in a different way.B．American people didn't like speaking English.C．Webster was good at correcting mistakes in textbooks.D．American people didn't write English as exactly as English people did.19．What is Noah Webster famous for in American history?A．His teaching methods.B．His dictionary.C．His fighting for freedom.D．Learning foreign languages.20．What does the last sentence of this article mean?A．Most dictionaries in the world are the copies of Webster’s.B．Most American people followed Webster’s advice on writing.C．Webster’s dictionary is the only one used in the United States.D．Most dictionaries in American English have the characteristic (特点) of Webster’s. 4.（12.5分）CLong, long ago people made fires from lightening (闪电). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦). They made a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful.21. From the text we know that a spark can _______.A. fire any leavesB. burn anythingC. burn dry leavesD. keep fire burning22. Matches have been used ________.A. for about two thousand yearsB. for about two hundred yearsC. since people began to use fire for cookingD. since people used the heat from the sun23.

Which of the following is the right order (排序) of the ways to make fires people got to know?a. with a matchb. from the sunc. from lighteningd. by rubbinge. with an electric fire starterA. a, b, c, d, eB. b, c, a, e, dC. c, d, b, a, eD. d, a, c, b, e三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分12.5分）5.（12.5分）Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well. The grammar is now familiar. The reading comprehension（理解）is no problem. You are communicating quite fluently（流利地）. 26 .First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. So, the most important thing is to listen as often as possible.27 . The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from , which allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (使沮丧) by limited understanding. 28 .Here is some of the advice I give my students:Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.Keep cool when you do not understand --- even if you continue not to understand for a long time.29 . Don’t concentrate on (专注于) details until you have understood the main idea.30 . This approach (方法) usually results in confusion（困惑）. Translating leads toa kind of block in one’s brain which sometimes doesn't allow us to understand anything at all!By remaining calm, allowing yourself not to understand, and not to translate while listening, your brain is free to concentrate on the most important thing: understanding English in English.A. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly.B. What should you do?C. Do not translate everything into your native language.D. This situation leads to less -- not more -- understanding.E. The next step is to find listening resources.F. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.G.
