The 47-year-old man from Niagara Falls was stuck in his car on the highway for almost eight days after his vehicle was accidentally pushed to the side of the roadand covered with snow by workers employed to remove the snow from the streets.Driving on the Interstate Highway 190 during the worst of the snowstorm, Mr. Hanson decided to pull over his old 1993 Volkswagen Passat to the side of the road and wait for the weather conditions to improve. He remained motionless for approximately five hours before asnow plow arrived to clear the way. Unfortunately for the poor man, the driver of the giganticsnow removal vehicle did not see the small car, pushing it into the ditch and covering it withmore than 2 meters of snow.Fortunately for the father of two children, the snow that was stacked over his vehicle wasnot very dense and allowed for enough fresh air to get through to enable him to survive. He was able to drink water that he obtained by melting snow with his lighter in an aluminum coffee cup,and he ate the few items of groceries he had bought before going home.―If I had known I would be stuck for eight days, I would have bought more than a jar of dill pickles(咸菜), a bottle of ketchup and two sticks of beef jerky(牛肉干),‖ said the survivor with a smile.Thomas Hanson had almost lost all hope of being rescued when his car was hit once againthis morning by another snow plow, which revealed the poor man’s location.4.

Wonderful Eight Days of Experience in the SnowCThe Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, founded in 1861 in response to the increasing industrialization of theUnited States. The institute stressed laboratory instruction in applied science and engineering.MIT’s early emphasis on applied technology at the undergraduate and graduate levels led toclose cooperation with industry. Curricular reforms under Karl Compton and Vannevar Bush inthe 1930s emphasized basic science. MIT was elected to the Association of American Universities in 1934. Today, the institute comprises various academic departments with a strongemphasis on scientific, engineering, and technological education and research.MIT is one of the most selective higher learning institutions, and received 18,357 undergraduate applicants for the class of 2018 —only admitting 1,419, an acceptance rate of7.73%.MIT’s 168-acre campus spans approximately a mile of the north side of the Charles Riverbasin in the city of Cambridge. The campus is divided roughly in half by Massachusetts Avenue,with most dormitories and student life facilities to the west and most academic buildings to theeast. MIT’s on-campus nuclear reactor is one of the most powerful university-based nuclearreactors in the United States. In 1999 Bill Gates donated $20 million to MIT for the constructionof computer laboratory named the ―William H. Gates Building‖. While Microsoft had previo given financial support to the institution, this was the first personal donation received from Gates.Other notable campus facilities include a pressurized wind tunnel and a towing tank for testingship and ocean structure designs.8. From the passage, we know MIT _______.A. is a public research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts.B. became a member of the Association of American Universities in 1934C. was founded to improve the development of agriculture of the United StatesD. at present puts emphasis on applied technology9. If there are 30,000 undergraduates applying for admission to MIT, only about ______ of themwill succeed.A. 1,319B. 2,319C. 3,319D. 4,31910. On MIT’s campus, you can’t find _______.A. Massachusetts AvenueB. a nuclear reactorC. a pressurized wind tunnelD. the Charles River11. The passage is written mainly to _______.A. present Bill Gate’s contributions to MITB. encourage more students to apply to MITC. give a brief introduction of MITD. attract more visitors to MassachusettsDSee a cellphone cover that you like on Taobao? Forget about placing an order, paying thebill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you. In the near future, you'll be able toget it in minutes just by hitting ―print‖ on your computer.You might find it hard to believe that you cou ld actually ―print‖ an object like you would a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays (喷) ink onto paper line by line, modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layerby layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.Instead of ink, the materials the 3D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin(树脂) and certain metals. The thinner each layer is—from a millimetre to less than the width of a hair—the smoother and finer the object will be.This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then, it was barely affordable for most people, so few knewabout it.Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3D printing industry—printers became much cheaper. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost ￡20，000, while nowthey cost only about ￡1，000, according to the BBC.Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses, 3D printing cancreate just about anything you can think of—flutes (笛子), bikinis, jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs. In fact, scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made anartificial ear using a 3D printer, according to Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts exactlylike a natural one.However, as 3D printing becomes more common, it may bring about certain problems—such as piracy. ―Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3D printer, who will visit a retail (零售的) store again？‖ an expert in 3D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, what if anyone inthe world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?12. According to the article, in the future, the 3D printing technology will _______.A. enable people to make better purchases onlineB. change the way we make many productsC. be applied as widely in our daily life as computersD. shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online13. What happened in the 3D printing industry last year?A. The 3D printing technology was taken out of the factory.B. The 3D printing technology began to be used in various fields.C. The 3D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time.D. The 3D printer became more affordable for consumers.14. How is the last paragraph developed?A. By giving examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By analyzing the cause and effect.D. By presenting research findings.15. What is the best title of the passage?A. Great Demand for 3D PrintersB. Technology in the FutureC. Online Shopping DisappearingD. Printing out Everything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。

The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 anight, and for that, you’ll often get to stay in a central location (位置) with security and comfort.Yellow HostelIf I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome, it would be Yellow Hostel. It’s one of the best-rated hostels in the city, and for good reason. It’s affordable, and it’s got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy. As an added bonus, it’s close to the main train station.Hostel Alessandro PalaceIf you love social hostels, this is the best hostel for you in Rome. Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun. Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests like free shots, bar crawls and karaoke. There’s also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.Youth Station HostelIf you’re looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel, look no further than Youth Station. It offers beautiful furnishings and beds. There are plenty of other benefits, too; it doesn’t charge city tax; it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms; it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.Hotel and Hostel Des ArtistesHotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it’s close to all of the city’s main attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing you with a map of the city when you arrive, and offering advice if you require some. However, you need to pay 2 euros a day for Wi-Fi.1.What is probably the major concern of travelers who choose to stay in a hostel?fort.B.Security.C.Price.D.Location.2.Which hotel best suits people who enjoy an active social life?A.Yellow Hostel.B.Hostel Alessandro Palace.C.Youth Station Hostel.D.Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes.3.What is the disadvantage of Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes?A.It gets noisy at night.B.Its staff is too talkative.C.It charges for Wi-Fi.D.It’s inconveniently located.BAfter a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Dekker can finally say, “Missionaccomplished!” Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from theNetherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.Dekker had wanted to lake on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court in theNetherlandsstopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor.She finally took off on January 20, 2011. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf, scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn’t spend all of her time at sea—she stopped at ports along the way—she did spend her 16lh birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast.But Dekker didn’t sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for “youngest” sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children fromattempting such dangerous feats (壮举). But that didn’t stop Dekker，who was born on a yacht during a seven-year world voyage undertaken by her parents.Dekker doesn’t mind that she won’t hold an official record. She says it was a personal goal, and she is happy she achieved it.“I am not disappointed at all that Guinness World Record won’t recognize my attempt.” Dekker wrote on her website. “I did not start on my trip to achieve any record…I did it just for myself.”4. Dekker wasn’t allowed to sail at the age of 13 because .A. people were concerned about her safetyB.she didn’t learn any sailing skills wellC. she had to continue her study at schoolD. she didn’t have enough patience for long trips5. What does the underlined word “accomplished” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Failed.B. Completed.C. Continued.D. Started.6. In 2009 records for youngest sailors were canceled in order to .A. set a higher sailing standard for teen sailorsB. stop children entering Guinness World RecordsC. encourage parents to sail with their childrenD. prevent children making dangerous attempts7. What could be the best title for this passage?A. A New Guinness World Record in SailingB. A New Sailing Standard for Teen SailorsC. A Teen Girl Sailing Alone Aroundthe WorldD. The Youngest Sailor in Guinness World RecordsCFor as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn't last long.I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—selfimprovement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of selfreflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of selfhatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself,just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.8. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A. She could change her weight at will.B. She had different beauty standards from others.C. She tried to love others to build her confidence.D. She was greatly influenced by others' opinions.9. Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”?A. She was poorly disciplined.B. She failed to celebrate “skinny”．C. She was labelled as lazy for her weight.D. She put on more weight after entering adulthood.10. What caused the author to make a change?A. Her lighter body.B. A troublesome illness.C. Popular beauty standards.D. Others' critical comments.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Beauty matters.B. Opinions vary.C. Worth your weight.D. Beyond your limits.DWhen my friend suggested going to the op shop (二手商店)，instantly I thought “I hope no one I know sees me”. It was the same when my cousin commented on my new furniture and Japanese, fine-bone-china bowls and asked where I got them. They were from the local op shop but instead I said “from the antique shop”.Many people in my Greek-Cypriot community would look down on me if I said I shopped at the op shop. They may pity me, consider me poor, a failure. Immigrants sacrificed their families and homes for a better life. Buying a house and having enough money to live comfortably, to educate your children and see them also live comfortably, are a big part of the immigrant dream, But has this dream made us materialistic at the cost of our own planet?Our love for purchasing the latest trendy clothes or furniture, then donating them when we are tired of them has become normal. I was once like this. But after watching the documentaryThe True CostI learned donated clothes that don’t get sold are sent to developing nations, many of them ending up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). In addition, your new dress requires electricity and materials to make. But if you buy a second-hand dress, that’s one less dress in a landfill and one less new dress to be made.A friend introduced me to op shopping only a few years ago. My firstitem was a dress she gifted me. It was lovely and I loved it. Nobody could tell it was second-hand. This opened me up to purchasing more second-hand high quality branded clothes. Once I visited a friend and was impressed by how she decorated her apartment. “It’s all second-hand,” she said. I couldn’t believe it. The truth is a lot of things sold at the op shop are in new or almost new condition. That’s when I made the decision to only buy second-hand things.Selling second-hand things isn’t anything new butwhat the planet needs is more buyers. There is so much excess (过量) production in the world. So stop feeling ashamed, and let’s get shopping.12. What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1?A. Pride.B. Embarrassment.C. Delight.D. Sympathy.13. Whatare many people in the author’s community like?A. They are probably materialistic.B. They care about the environment.C. They think highly of op shopping.D. They look down upon immigrants.14. What was the author encouraged to do after visiting her friend’s apartment?A. Watch the documentaryThe True Cost.B. Donate more to local charities.C. Avoid shopping too much.D. Stop buying new things.15. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To entertain.B. To advertise.C. To persuade.D. To describe.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

AThe things that kids choose to play with can impact our Earth.The manufacturing of toys and games can produce harmful pollution and non-recyclable waste, which is harmful to our planet. But some toymakers are creating items for kids that aim higher. They use natural or non-harmful materials, and find ways to reuse and recycle. Toys and kits (成套工具) can also teach kids about environmentally friendly solutions. Here are a few of our favorite low-impact, high-fun toys.Test the watersWater is Earth's most precious natural resource. Many people take it for granted, but not everybody in the world has access to clean water. Learn about the science behind one solution with Thames & Kosmos’ Global Water Quality Experiment Kit. The kit comes with tools and instructions for conducting eight important experiments including testing the quality of H2O and making dirty water cleaner. ($15)Plant tomatoesWhen communities in dry, desert regions experience drought, it impacts their agricultural practices. Learn about water preservation and grow delicious cherry tomatoes with Back to the Roots’ Self-Watering Tomato Planter. It features technology that African desert farmers have been using for thousands of years: a delicate clay pot releases water, but only when the surrounding soil has dried up. ($30)Draw with veggiesWee Can Too’s Veggie Sidewalk Chalk is made from fruit and vegetable powders — it's practically safe to eat! The chalk, created using environmentally friendly ingredients, has none of the chemicals found in your typical sidewalk chalk. When the rain comes and washes away your masterpiece, no harmful pollutants will be entering the environment. ($12)Create with cardboardWhen cardboard breaks down in a landfill, it creates methane, a major greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Recycled cardboard can be transformed into a work of art with the Cardboard Tool Kit from UncommonGoods. The kit comes with 28 reusable parts for fastening cardboard pieces together. Now let your imagination go wild! ($13)1.What is special about Back to the Roots' small clay pot?A.It has a long history.B. It is a recent invention.C. It can improve tomatoes’ taste.D. It uses anti-drought technology.2.Which product needs users to be imaginative?A.Cardboard Tool Kit.B. Veggie Sidewalk Chalk.C. Self-Watering Tomato Planter.D. Global Water Quality Experiment Kit.3.What do the four products have in common?A.They are hard to use.B. They are Earth-friendly toys.C. They are good for kids’ health.D. They are great choices for art-lovers.B“Yes, he must be a poor artist,” thought Miss Martha, a middle-aged single lady who had a bakery. A regular customer attracted her attention. He spoke English with a strong German accent. His clothes were worn and wrinkled in places. But he looked neat, and had very good manners. Once Miss Martha saw a red and brown stain on his fingers.Every time he bought two loaves of stale(陈旧的) bread. Fresh bread was five cents a loaf. Stale ones were twofor five. Never did he call for anything but stale bread.Genius often has to struggle before it is recognized. Her heart ached to add something good to eat to his purchase, but she did not dare offered him. She knew the pride of artists.One day the customer came in as usual. While Miss Martha was reaching for loaves, there was a fire-engine with great noise outside. The customer hurried to the door to look, as any one will. Suddenly inspired, Miss Martha seized the opportunity and quickly inserted a generous quantity of butter into the loaves to do a pleasant favor for him.Had she been too bold? Would he take offense? She imagined the scene when he should discover her little secret. Would he think of the hand that put the butter? Would he invite her to look at his artwork?The other day in his friend’s company, the man came, with his face red and hair terribly messy. He clinched his two fists and shook them angrily at Miss Martha. “Stupid!” he shouted with extreme loudness, “You haf spoiled me. You vas von meddingsome old cat!”The other man said, “That’s Blumberger, an architectural draftsman. He’s been working hard for three months drawing a plan for a new city hall. He always makes his drawi ng in pencil first. When it’s done he rubs out the pencil lines with handfuls of stale bread. That’s better than India rubber. Well, until today! That butter isn’t well. Blumberger’s plan isn’t good for anything now.”4.Miss Martha assumes that the man is .A.a genius painter who cannot afford fresh breadB.a talented artist who shows interest in herC.a hardworking architect who is yet to be recognizedD.a proud customer who has very good manners5.Miss Martha added butter to the man’s loaves out of .A.pityB. curiosityC. loveD. guilt6.Why was the man annoyed?A.Because the loaves ruined his reputation.B.Because the butter interrupted his plan.C.Because Miss Martha destroyed his draft.D.Because his friend let out his secret.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.One Good Act Being Well Awarded.B. A Good Deed Coming to No Good.C. The Talented Receiving Nothing.D. Love Leading to Misunderstanding.CBollywood doesn’t do thrillers well. About the only exception to this rule is one man: Sriram Raghavan. His latest, Andhadhun, adapted from a French short story, is a glorious keep-them-guessing thriller, which never loses sight of that most important question: so what happens next?It has become harder and harder to make such movies because audience have watched too many and, like children who enjoy spoiling others’ pleasure by staying around a birthday party magician, make a game out of spotting the littl etricks and loudly predict the next twist. This is why we need directors who refuse to be obvious. Everybody knows how a mystery should work, but Raghavan knows how all the mysteries work.The movie is set in present day Pune, India. Akash (Ayushmann Khurana) is a talented pianist who pretends to be blind to get more work. In a private performance the ‘blind’ pianist accidentally witnesses a murder. As he plays the piano, a dead body is thrown away. There is no dialogue because the murder ers don’t want him to hear anything suspicious. With extreme horror, Akash has to pretend not to see everything and calmly continues his music. Ayushmann’s performance is absolutely genius, giving viewers the feelings of watching a part of the scene stolen from a silent film. The movie probably wouldn’t have the impact had the role been starred in by anyone else.The five writers of the movie have also done an unbelievably amazing job of giving us a script with several twists and turns. Fortunately it is not a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth( 汤). The writing is very entertaining and is the real hero of the film.It’s been a while since I’ve had so much twisty fun at the movies. Here is my pro-tip, do not step out, do not look away, and stay right till the end. And you will find yourself at the edge of your seat.8.Why does the author mention children at the birthday party at paragraph 2?A.To indicate the fun of making guesses in a movie.B.To show the challenge of surprising audiences.C.To prove the director’s talent for making thrillers.D.To tell the importance of not being too obvious.9.What does the writer think of Aysshmann Khurana?A.He contributes to the success of the movie.B.He learns a lot from the silent movie.C.He is a genius actor and director.D.He attracts audience with his mysteries.10.What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?A.You will find it improper to leave before it ends.B.You will find yourself lost in deep thought.C.You will enjoy the movie comfortably.D.You will watch the movie attentively.11.What is the main purpose of this article?A.To inform the reader of a new movie.B.To praise the directing skill of Raghavan.C.To make a remark on Andhadhun.D.To give advice on watching the movie.DEconomically speaking, are we better off than we were ten years ago? Twenty years ago?In their thirst for evidence on this issue, commentators seized on the recent report by the Census Bureau, which found that average household income rose by 5.2% in 2015. Unfortunately, that conclusion puts too much weight on a useful but flawed and incomplete statistic. Among the more significant problems with the Census‘s measure are that:1) it excludes taxes, transfers, and compensation like employer-provided health insurance; and 2) it is based on surveys rather than data. Even if precisely measured, income data exclude important determinants of economic well-being, such as the hours of work needed to earn that income.While thinking about the question, we came across a recently published article by Charles Jones and Peter Klenow, which proposes an interesting new measure of economic welfare. While by no means perfect, it is considerably more comprehensive than average income, taking into account not only growth in consumption per person but also changes in working time, life expectancy, and inequality. Moreover, it can be used to assess economic performance both across countries and over time.The Jones-Klenow method can be illustrated by a cross-country example. Suppose we want to compare the economic welfare of citizens of the U.S. and France in 2005.In 2005, as the authors observe, real consumption per person in France was only 60% as high as the U.S., making it appear that Americans were economically much better off than the French on average. However, that comparison leaves out other relevant factors: leisure time, life expectancy, and economic inequality. The French take longer vacations and retire earlier, so typically work fewer hours; they enjoy a higher life expectancy, reflecting advantages with respect to health care, diet, lifestyle, and the like; and income and consumption are somewhat more equally distributed there than in the U.S. Because of these differences, comparing France‘s consumption with the U.S.’s overstates the gap in economic welfare.Similar calculations can be used to compare the U.S. and other countries. For example, this calculation puts economic welfare in the United Kingdom at 97% of U.S. levels, but estimates Mexican well-being at 22%.12.What does the author think of the 2015 report by the Census Bureau?A.It evidences the improved welfare.B.It provides much food for thought.C.It reflects the economic changes.D.It is based on questionable statistics.13.What does the author say about the Jones-Klenow method?A.It is widely used to compare the economic growth across countries.B.It revolutionizes the way of measuring ordinary people‘s welfare.C.It focuses on people‘s consumption rather that their average income.D.It is a more comprehensive measure of people‘s economic well-being.14.What do Jones and Klenow think of the comparison between France and the U.S. in terms of real consumption perperson?A.It fails to count in their difference in natural resources.B.It ignores many important indicators of people‘s welfare.C.It covers up the differences between individual citizens.D.It reflects the existing big gap between the two economies.15.What will the author most probably focus on in the following part?A.Another aspect the Jones-Klenow method assesses.B.Other new methods to measure the economic welfare.C.A brief introduction to Charles Jones and Peter Klenow.D.The detailed report on the welfare of the United Kingdom.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。
