AOne of the most exciting and interesting international cities to visit is London, England. Here is a look at four free things to do during a vacation to London.Visit the Trafalgar SquareBuilt more than 200 years ago, Trafalgar Square is a popular gathering place for locals andtravelers, too.

Travelers doing this will find themselves passing by a great many historic buildings.Explore the Local MarketsWhile purchasing items at any of the open markets in London is not necessarily free, walking through them to view the merchants, their products and the other shoppers is of great fun. Some of the popular open markets in London worth visiting include Spitafields Market, Portobello Road Market and Leadenhall Market.Visit the British MuseumOne of the top museums in the entire United Kingdom can be found in London, and it charges no admission for entry.

Now, it’s time: for us to express our nostalgia for this great writer.On Dec 14, 2017, the famous Chinese poet Yu Guangzhong passed away in Taiwan. Born in 1928 in Nanjing, Jiangsu, Y u studied in Sichuan when he was young. At that time, he had showed great interest in Chinese poems and spent a lot of his free time trying writing poems himself. Then he managed to publish his first poem at the age of 20. A year later, Yu and his family moved to Taiwan. He lived and worked there until his death.Nostalgia is Yu’s masterpiece in which he expresses his homesickness for the Chinese mainland when he was in Taiwan.Published in 1971, the poem remains highly popular among Chinese speakers worldwide. Even those who know little about literature are familiar with lines from the poem. The poem is included in Chinese high school textbooks.Besides his achievements in poetry, Yu was also a successful essay writer, critic and translator. He once translated Engli sh poet Siegfried Sassoon’s poem In Me, Past, Present, Future Meet into Chinese. It is regarded as an accurate and powerful translation, in which the most famous line is “心有猛虎, 细嗅蔷薇” for “In me the tiger sniffs the rose”.Yu spent his whole life writing. “The reason why I stick to writing till today comes down to my passion for the Chinese language,” he once said in a 2015 interview. He then added that this passion was strengthened by his love for his mother and His motherland.Now, let’s appreciate the poe m Nostalgia.When I was young, But later on,Nostalgia was a tiny, tiny stamp. Nostalgia was a low, low grave.Me on this side, Me on this outside,Mother on the other side. And my mother was inside.When I grew up, And at present,Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket. Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait.Me on this side, Me on this side,Bride on the other side. Mainland on the other side.24. What is Yu Guangzhong?A. A poet, reporter and critic.B. A translator and publisher.C. A critic, poet and translator.D. A translator and song writer.25. Which of the following statements is THUK?A. Yu lived with his family in Taiwan all his life.B.

He made a lot of money from writing.B. He had great interest in English poems.C. He loved his family and mainland a lot.D. He had a lot of free time and was bored.27. What can we learn from the Poem Nostalgia?A. He missed his family and homeland a lot.B. He didn’t want to come to his homeland.C. He lived with his mother on the riverside.D. His mother had died when he got married.CEnglish teenagers will receive cooking lessons in schools. The idea is to encourage healthy eating to solve the problem that many people are overweight. Also, it worries people that basic cooking and food preparation skills are being lost because parents use too much pre-prepared fast food.Cooking was once regarded as an important part of education in England---even if it was mainly for girls. In recent years cooking has become less important in schools. But the rising level of obesity has led to rethink about the food that children are given and the skills they should be taught.“What we want is to teach young people how to do basic, simple meals, which they can use now at home and then in their life,” said Ed Balls, an education expert.The new lessons will start in September, but some schools without kitchens will be given a longer time to prepare. Also, there may be a shortage of teachers with the right skills, since schools have been teaching food technology rather than practical cooking. Besides, the lessons forhand-on cooking will only be one hour a week for one term. But the well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, believe it will be worth it.“If we’d done this thirty years ago we might not have to face the problem about obesity and lack of knowledge about food and so on. Every child should know how to cook, not just so that they’ll be healthy, but because it’s a life skill which is a real pleasure.”The renewed interest in cooking is an effort to reduce the obesity rate, which is almost the highest in Europe, and according to the government, half of all British people will be obese in 25 years if present trends are not halted.28. The passage mainly talks about .A. the reason for obesityB. the lost cooking skillsC, the healthy eating D. the cooking classes29. Which of the following is NOT the aim of bringing back cooking lessons in Britain?A. To encourage teenagers to eat healthy food.B. To reduce the country’s increasing obesity rate.C. To stop parents from turning to pre-prepared fast food.D. To prevent basic cooking and food preparation skills from being lost.30. How will cooking lessons do good to the students?A. All of them will become good cooks in their later life.B. Students will be healthy and enjoy the pleasure of such a life skill as well.C. Students will be able to make food experiments with the knowledge and skills.D. Students will be able to control the level of obesity in the whole country.31. The underlined word “halted” in the last paragraph probably means “”.A. continuedB. stoppedC. discussedD. keptDRobot are about to enter our lives. From doing housework, entertaining and educating our children, to looking after the elderly, scientists say we will soon be welcoming robots into our homes and workplaces.Researchers believe we are on the cusp (过渡点) of a robot revolution that will mirror the quick growth of the computer revolution. They are developing new laws for robot behavior, and designing new ways for humans and robots to communicate.“I think robots will change who we are, just as eyeglasses and fire changed who we were before, says Rodney Brooks, a director of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.Some ideas and technologies may sound like science fiction, but they are fast becoming science fact. Robots scientists invented are already beginning to perform everyday tasks like cleaning our floors. The latest types from Japan are able to help the elderly to get out of bed or get up after a fall. They can also remind them when to take medication (药物), or even help wash their hair.“Robot now are not human-like. For example they are things like automatic (自动的) beds and wheelchairs,” says Prof Hiroshi Ishiguro at Osaka University, Japan. He believes the time is coming when robots start looking less like machines, and more like us. “In the near future we are going to use more human-like robots. I really think so, says Prof Ishiguro.Prof Maja Mataric at the University of Southern California agrees. “I’m very excited about the fact that today we are trying to make robots that look like human beings,” she says.“I believe we love robots because they’re reflections (反映) of ourselves,” says Ken Goldberg, director of the Berkeley Center for New Media at the University of California at Berkeley.“Robots could be used in education, learning, and healthcare, where social support is important,” says Dr. Cy nthia Breazeal, director of the Personal Robots Group at MIT.32. Who believes that robots will bring great changes to our lives?A. Rodney Brooks.B. Hiroshi Ishiguro.C. Maja Mataric.D. Ken Goldberg.33. Which of the following proverbs can best express the idea of Paragraph 4?A. Great hopes make great men.B. If we can dream it, we can do it.C. Where there is life, there is hope.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.34. According to the text, future robots will .A. become smallerB. cheaperC. be more like machinesD. be more like humans35. What would he the best title for this passage?A. Ready for the Robot Revolution?B. The Uses of Future RobotsC. The Changes for the Future WorldD. Happy About Scientific Development?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。

That’s not enough to m ake ends meet, but it has made him whole again. He lost both arms in an accident.“Having this skill that even normal people find difficult was something that really helped me and made me feel like I fit in more in the world,” Damon said. He was a worker i n a car factory. One day when he was working, there was a gas explosion (爆炸), killing one worker and injuring him.“I lost my right arm above the elbow, about three inches above the elbow, and my left about six inches below,” he explained.“How am I going to make a living and take care of my family? I had always worked with my hands,” he said.Then with a simple little drawing, a new future opened up for him.“I thought it was wonderful in a way,” Damon said. “Something was telling me to focus on this and e verything will be alright.” Damon doesn’t have a perfect prosthetic arm (假肢)—juts a hook (钩子), which he finds works best.He and his wife Jen run True Grit Art Gallery in Middleboro, Massachusetts, where he shows the works of local artists. With his disability check from the government, he can affordto be an artist. He is a man doing what he wants with his life, and doesn’t look at his situation as a hard time.“I don’t see it that way,” Damon said. “Suffering an injury like this has a way of making you focus on what’s important in life.”He believes his best work is still ahead of him. But with his pictures of simple American scenes, Damon has already produced his best work.4．How did Damon lose his arms?A．A gas explosion injured his arms.B．He was attacked when he was driving a car.C．His arms were tapped by a worker by accident.D．He was knocked down by a car when he was working.5．What do we know about Peter Damon when he started taking up painting from the text?

B．Optimistic. C．Pitiful. D．Uncertain. 7．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Winners do what losers don’t want to do.B．It is never too late to mend.C．Never put off until tonorow what you can do today.D．God closes a door and another will open for you.People do not like being separated from their mobile phones, even while enjoying a restful holiday at the beach.

But it’s impossible to get the battery charged (充电) at the beach. What’s worse, the hot sun is shining right overhead, and the water in the bottle is sure to reach a very high temperature.Antoine Sayah, a university student from Lebanon, developed a special beach mat called the Beachill. It looks similar to the ordinary beach mat and will cause back pain as well. However, the device can recharge any mobile phone. It is designed to be water resistant (防水的) and has a 5-watt solar panel, which provides power continuously. The mat also has the refrigeration equipment that can help keep drinks cool, just like the refrigerator.Antoine Sayah began selling the Beachill on the Internet for $150. He says he has been surprised at the reaction worldwide. “I have got orders for the device from Brazil, Toronto, all over Europe, especially France, America, from all continents.” The Beachill is also gaining popularity in other places, like swimming pools and boats.Some people like the mat because it is lightweight and easy-to-carry. Rita Mathieu bought one of the Beachills. “When I am on the beach, I used to look around for a charger and never managed to find any and the water never stays cool,” she says. “So this kind of beach mat is wonderful and has everything in it, even a pocket where I can put a book. Thanks to it, I can surf the Internet and keep in touch with friends at any time at the beach.”8．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _________.A．show great pity for people at the beachB．attract the readers’ interest in the subjectC．provide some key facts about mobile phonesD．prove the importance of water in hot weather9．What can we learn about the Beachill?A．It is quite unusual in appearance. B．It will stop working in the water.C．It has some function of the refrigerator. D．It has a 3-watt solar panel.10．Rita Mathieu is mentioned to prove the Beachill’s _________.A．popularity B．convenience C．good quality D．low price 11．The text is written to _________.A．tell people a new way to get a cold drink B．ask people to stop using phones at the beachC．encourage people to travel around the world D．introduce a beach mat that can charge a phoneAbout 97% of the world’s water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we can’t drink sea water, how can it be important?Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of theocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important sea water is!Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in tur consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately (微妙地) balanced.The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn’t matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most counties have introduced fishing restrictions (限制) to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important sea water is!12．From the passage, we learn that _________.A．most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seasB．it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chainC．over-fishing has caused the decrease in fish stockD．it won’t be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved13．What does the underlined phrase “cope with” mean in Chinse?A．处理B．保护C．增加D．检验14．Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?A．The use of international agreements.B．Forbidding fishing to protect fish socks.C．The use of new techniques.D．Raising people’s awareness of the need to protect oceans.15．What would be the best title of the passage?A．The Importance of Sea WaterB．Life in the OceansC．How to Protect Food ChainsD．How to Deal with Seawater Pollution二、七选五There are so many interesting and creative hobbies that can improve your life and make you smarter.16．As the saying goes, reading gives us somewhere to go when we have to stay where we are. It enriches your knowledge and makes you feel better about yourself. Learning a new language is a most unique and challenging hobby. It enables your brain to perform better, improves your memory and reduces the risk of brain decline. 17．Playing chess makes you smarter by exercising both sides of your brain. 18．And it helps improve your memory and builds your self-confidence.Writing makes your brain work. 19．Writing things down can improve your emotions and your ability to communicate with others and it will make you a more interesting person.Exercising regularly keeps both your body and your brain functioning. A good blood circulation in your body means a good blood circulation of your brain, which means an increased brain function. 20．Learning to play the piano or any other musical instrument teaches you patience and perseverance because it takes a lot of effort and a lot of time.A．Writing teaches you to think.B．Smiling will make you healthier and look cooler.C．Moreover, a new language means new opportunities.D．Positive thinking can help you to do your best each day.E.Besides, exercising reduces stress and helps you sleep better.F.Playing chess rises your IQ and encourages your creativity.G.Reading teaches you new things about new places and new people.三、完形填空When my best friend, Jane, and I were 16,we were in the same class.
