Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.36. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To seek help for Nauru’s problems.B. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.C. To show the importance of moneyD. To give a warning to other countries37. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A. Peaceful and attractiveB. Modern and openC. Rich and powerfulD. Greedy and aggressive38. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______.A. soil pollutionB. farming activityC. phosphate overminingD. whale hunting39. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem?A. It spent too much repairing the islandB. Its leaders misused the moneyC. Its phosphate mining cost much moneyD. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.40. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A. The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously.B. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.C. The island was abandoned by the NauruansD. The phosphate mines were destroyedBGeorge Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America's greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him worldfamous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the wellknown musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazzinfluenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirtynine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.41．Many of Gershwin's musical works were ________．A．written about New Yorkers B．composed for Paul WhitemanC．performed in various ways D．played mainly in the countryside 42．What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?A．It proved jazz could be serious music.B．It attracted more people to theatres.C．It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.D．It caused a debate among jazz musicians.43．What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?A．He studied with Nadia Boulanger. B．He created one of his best works.C．He argued with French critics. D．He changed his music style. 44．What do we learn from the last paragraph?A．The death of Gershwin was widely reported.B．Many of Gershwin's works were lost.C．A concert was held in memory of Gershwin.D．Brain cancer research started after Gershwin's death.45．Which of the following best describes Gershwin?A．Serious and boring. B．Talented and productive.C．Popular and unhappy. D．Friendly and honest.CTwo friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the ease, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well Rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution : listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. Tiffs doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reportedless physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student co-operation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves'. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.46. This article is mainly aboutA. the lives of school childrenB. how to deal with school conflictsC. how to analyze youth violenceD. the cause of arguments in schools47. From Paragraph 2 we can learn thatA. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fightC. students tend to lose their temper easilyD. a small conflict can lead to violence48. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A. To make clear what the real issue is.B. To get ready to try new things.C. To find out who is to blame.D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.49. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found thatA. more teachers felt better about themselves in schoolsB. there was less student cooperation in the classroomC. there was a decrease in classroom violenceD. the teacher-student relationship greatly improved50. The writer's purpose for writing this article is toA. complain about problems in school educationB. advocate teaching conflict management in schoolsC. teach students different strategies for school lifeD. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violenceDOne might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but. good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, arosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the 'last paradise(天堂) on earth'.However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete junglesof endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. Inrecent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests , full of wildlife and rare flowers,were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tacks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.Not only the environment of a country can suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain ; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support form tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.51. What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1 ?A. The Pacific island is a paradise.B. The Pacific island is worth visiting.C. The advertisement is not convincing.D. The advertisement is not impressive52. The example of Nepal is used to suggest _________ .A. its natural resources are untouched.B. its forests are exploited for farmlandC. it develops well in health and education.D. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists.53. What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4 ?A. They are happy to work their own lands.B. They have to please the tourists for a living.C. They have to struggle for their independence.D. They are proud of working in multi-national organizations.54. Which of the following determines the future of tourism ?A. The number of touristsB. The improvement of services.C. The promotion of new products.D. The management of tourism55. The au thor’s attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is ______.A. optimisticB. doubtfulC. objectiveD.

Participants are likely to get ______ from the Winter Fun Holiday Club.A. timely first aidB. free drinks and snacksC. breakfast and lunchD. an Internet connectionBPeople are less likely to yawn(打哈欠) when others do as they get older, a study has found.Contagious(传染的) yawni ng is related more closely to a person’s age than tiredness and energy levels, US-based scientists said. Researchers are now looking at whether to catch yawns from other people is a born ability, with the hope of helping treat some mental health disorders.People with some mental illnesses are reportedly less able to catch yawns, researchers said, so understanding the genes(基因) that are connected with contagious yawning could open new paths for treatment.In the study, published in the journal Plos One, 328 participants were shown a three-minute video showing other people yawning. Each participant had to click abutton every time they yawned. Overall, 68 percent of the participants yawned. Of those, 82 percent of people aged under 25 yawned, compared with 60 percent of people aged between 25 and 49, and 41 percent of people aged over 50.Dr Elizabeth Cirulli, assistant professor of medicine at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, led the study. She said, “This is the first study to look at a large number of factors. It is the largest study, when it comes to the number of people participating, till now.” She said she did not know why contagious yawning reduced with age.Dr Cirulli added that although age was the most important predictor(预测器) of contagious yawning, only 8% of the change in whether or not a participant yawned was explained by their age.“Most of change in the contagious yawning reaction was just not explained,” said Dr Cirulli.Robert R Provine, professor of psychology at the University of Maryland in Baltimore County, said the study was “special” as it was the first time a link between ageing and contagious yawning had been shown. Prof Provine said the findings could help to understand why laughing and coughing were so contagious. He added, “Contagious acts such as yawning and laughing remind us that we are often mindless to control our behaviour.”4. Why do the researchers carry out studies on yawning?A. To stop yawning from spreadingB. To deal with some mental illnessesC. To find out yawning is a born activityD. To help prevent people from yawning5. What can we learn from the study on yawning?A.

Aging and contagious yawning are closely related.C. People are often influenced by contagious acts without knowing it.D. Factors besides age also have an effect on contagious yawning.7. What is the best title of the passage?A. New paths for treatment of mental disorders.B. Opinions of professors on contagious yawning.C. Influences of contagious yawning on people.D. Ageing and contagious yawning.CIyehezkiel Parudani lost his eyesight at age six from chicken pox（水痘）. He now teaches English to blind students at the Pajajaran Special School in the city of Bandung. He says learning English can help blind people feel better about themselves and find jobs.He says blind people should not let their disabilities(残疾) affect their dreams. In 2008, the Ford Foundation gave him a chance to study at the University of Texas. There, he earned a Master's degree in curriculum(课程) development. He wants his students to learn English so they can also study abroad.Eha Lestari was one of Iyehezkiel Parudani's star students. She is almost completely blind when she was four years old. She says learning English has changed her life.Eha Lestari traveled to San Francisco and Washington DC as part of the Indonesia-U.S. Youth Leadership Program. The trip changed her life. From then on, she worked harder at English and made rapid progress. Listen to her speaking English just two years ago."I want. I want can speak English. I want to speak English. Yes. Very good."Like her classmates, Eha loves to sing. The Pajajaran Special School is filled with excellent musicians. Here, music is part of their daily life. Even the students who do not study English can sing the latest Western pop hits like “Stand By Me”.Eha Lestari plans to go to college and learn English. For now, she has some advice for other young people."Please use English every day. Don't be shy to speak English...If we can speak English, if we can play music, I think our future is good...is very good."8. What can we learn about Iyehezkiel Parudani from the passage?A. He is a great musician.B. He is very strict with his students.C. He has a positive attitude to life and work.D. He encourages all people to learn English.9. According to the passage, Eha Lestari can be best described as_______.A. hard-workingB. warm-heartedC. shyD. lazy10. The underlined sentence is used to prove __________.A. Eha Lestari is not good at English.B. The trip had a great effect on Eha Lestari.C. Traveling abroad is the best way to learn English.D. Indonesia-U.S. Youth Leadership Program is successful.11. The underlined word hits ( Para.7) refer to _______.A. excellent musiciansB. well-known poemsC. popular songsD. special namesDFor most people, Friday, which happens to be the 13th, means little more than the start of a weekend. However, to million people worldwide who suffer from paraskevidekatriaphobia (周五 13 恐惧症), the combination of the day and number brings had luck. While no one knows for sure how it began, there are many theories.Experts think it starts with the fear of the number 13. The number 13 suffers from its position after 12, which is regarded as a complete number. After all, there are 12 months in a year, 12 gods of Olympus, and so on. This has caused the belief that 13 is incomplete and, therefore, unlucky.The number’s bad name is worsened by the fact that several unfortunate incidents are linked with 13. One example is NASA’s Apollo 13 mission (任务). The seventh manned mission in the Apollo space program, launched (发射) at 13:13, never landed on moon. For some people, the mission failed because of the number 13.If you are among those who can “Shake It Off”, you are in great company. Taylor Swift is not affected by the number, who says, “I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. Every time I’ve won an award I’ve been seated in either the 13th seal or the 13th row. Basically, whenever a 13 comes up in my life, it’s a goodthing.”The fear of Friday appears to come mainly from ancient religion. It was the day Jesus was killed. Though the date was not the 13th, it happened after the Last Supper, which had 13 guests.When the date and day meet, people suffer from anxiety. Construction and shipbuilding workers easily become nervous, which often leads to more accidents. This, of course, further adds to their anxiety. It is reported that businesses lose more than $800 million because many people avoid traveling or shopping on this day.12. In which part of a newspaper might the passage come from?A. Society and Culture.B. Wealth and Finance.C. Health and Fitness.D. Arts and Entertainment.13. Why was Apollo 13 mission mentioned?A. To prove people’s fear of 13.B. To show the cause of the failure.C. To point out the bad luck caused by 13.D. To give examples about the bad name of 13.14 What does the underlined part “Shake It Off” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Appreciate it.B. Defend it.C. Imagine it.D. Gel rid of it.15. What can we know about paraskevidekatriaphobia from the last paragraph?A. Its origin.B. Its effect.C. Its cause.D. Its solution.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

第I 卷 选择题一、完形填空(本大题共 20 小题，每小题 1.5 分，共 30 分)Discover ChengduI have lost count of how many times I have been to Chengdu, Sichuan. When I learned that I would be going to the city again since I returned to China, I did not know which tourist attractions I wanted to visit, 1 I have already been to most of them. One of my friends 2 the Chengdu Museum, and I decided to check it out.The Chengdu Museum is located in the center of the city, and it only took a 20-minute subway journey to arrive there. The building was covered in glass and looked 3 from the outside. As the museum ticket was 4 , I only needed to show my ID card before 5 the museum. It was an early Friday morning, and it was drizzling a little, 6there were not many people around. The first exhibition (展览) I visited was one about Chinese shadow puppetry (皮影戏). In a performance, puppeteers used silhouettes (剪影) cast by figures made from leather (皮革) or paper to 7 a story. I learned about the complicated (复杂的) 8 as well as the different 9 used to make the 10. For example, many northern Chinese people use donkey (驴子) skin, 11southern Chinese people use cow or sheep skin. It takes a lot of skill for an artist to create figures out of animal skin, so the artist is 12 w ith dozens of carving knives.The museum dedicated at least two floors of exhibitions to the history of Chengdu, but its history did not 13 me. Instead, I 14 an exhibition about the food and traditions in Chengdu. Sichuan noodles with chili sauce (担担面) are 15 popular in Chengdu, but I never knew about the 16 of its name until I saw an introduction about these spicy (辛辣的) noodles in the museum.

Many people choose to be couch potatoes(电视迷), but not Luo Han, a 9-year-old from Changsha, Hunan.Luo Han completes at least two hours of outdoor activities every day and has raised a wave of (一波) discussion online.Although he is in primary school, he has already mastered sports like kayaking (皮划艇) and paddling (划桨).His aptitude (才能) for outdoor sports is due to his father Luo Ge, who actively encourages him to enjoy nature, rather than focusing (关注) only on his learning. After noticing that Luo Han did not go out for enough exercise after school, his father took him to do outdoor activities every day.Many applauded them.“Exercise can ease brain fog (脑疲劳) and improve memory. Many students feel stressed about school work, so outdoor activities can help us keep our moods uplifted and improve our learning efficiency (效率),” said Liu Yu, 18, a university freshman.Wang Tao, a parent of a 16-year-old, showed her support for the father.“It’s more than a way to relax. It’s a training of willpower,” she said.Her son He Xin, from Hefei Thomas School, Anhui, is a fan of outdoor sports.Although facing increasing pressure in his studies, he has joined the school’s athletic (运动的) programs.However, some have also expressed their concerns (担忧).“Two hours isn’t too much for a 9-year-old, but it might be difficult for high school students to guarantee (确保) this block of time when school becomes more demanding,” said Huang Xi, 16, from Liyang High School of Jiangsu province.Ms Zhu, who has a daughter in middle school, also agreed that two hours is too much for the majority of parents, especially on weekdays. “When I am off duty, I need to do housework. After my daughter finishes her homework,she prefers to watch TV. Neither of us would think of going outside for exercise,” Zhu said.Other parents are concerned about the safety of outdoor activities. Zhang Zhijin has a son in high school. “Sometimes, teenagers can do crazy and risky things. We worry about accidents,” Zhang said.21.What news about Luo Han has caused online discussion?A.His talent for outdoor sports.B.The way he gets along with his father.C.Daily time he spends on outdoor activities.D.The way he deals with learning and outdoor sports.22.What did Liu Yu think of students doing outdoor activities?A.It can help them learn better.B.It is more helpful to those under stress.C.It helps them build character.D.It often leads to poor school performance.23.What does Ms Zhu’s example tell us?A.There is too much school work for high school students.B.Most parents can’t afford to spend two hours outdoors on weekdays.C.Most parents are worried about the safety of outdoor activities.D.Parents should care more about their children’s learning.24.Which word can rep lace “applauded” in the 5th paragraph?A.clappedB.supportedC.opposedD.claimed25.According to the author,which of the following is not among parents’ concerns about outdoor activity?A.SafetyB.StudiesC.EntertainmentD.TimeBMilitary ambitionAir shows were a Toth family tradition: For Mom Kathleen, Dad Pete and their three boys, watching the military jets soaring and swooping (俯冲) over Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehust inspired awe (惊叹).At one show, the oldest child Peter, in middle school at the time, saw a flyer (传单) for Civil Air Patrol (CAP) – the civilian auxiliary (民间后备队) of the US Air Force. The group accepts members 12 and up, and Peter was intrigued (好奇的).“I knew that serving my country was something I always wanted to do in some cap acity,” Peter Toth said.The Toths supported Peter’s Civil Air Patrol activity, driving him 45 minutes each way from their home several times a week for everything from volunteer meetings to search and rescue missions, encampments and physical fitness drills (操练). They watched as he became a leader in high school –excelling in the classroom, joining the National Honor Society and starting a cyber patriot club.Major Bill Petzinger, commander of the CAP’s McGuire Composite Squadron (混合中队), said that when Peter was cadet (学员) commander, the squadron thrived (蓬勃发展), and membership doubled.That air show, and Civil Air Patrol, started the Barnegat High School senior on a path to a remarkable feat (成就). Peter decided to shoot for the three military academies. Applying to one academy is a grueling process that requires numerous paperwork, physical fitness tests, multiple interviews and a Congressional recommendation. Attempting to get into three felt like a full-time job.Eventually, he was offered admission to three US military academies: the US Military Academy at West Point, New York, the US Naval Academy in Maryland and the US Air Force Academy in Colorado. Their acceptance rates, respectively, are just 9.6 percent, 8.4 percent and 11.9 percent.Peter chose West Point. It has a well-established cybersecurity (网络安全) program, Peter’s intended focus.Peter is the first Barnegat student to gain admittance to a military academy, high school principal Stephen Nichol said.“He’s always got a smile on his face, no matte r what kind of day it is and what else is going on,” Nichol added.26.Why did Peter take an interest in the flyer?A.It informed him of the development of CAP.B.It was about a military academy he wanted to go to.C.It was about stories behind the air shows.D.It introduced an interesting CAP program.27.What is the main idea of paragraph 4?A. The achievements Peter made at CAP.B. The various drills Peter did at CAP.C. The support Peter got from his family.D.The reasons why Peter started a cyber patriot club.28. What does the underlined word in paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Important.B. Official.C. Exciting.D. Challenging.29.What can we know about Peter’s applying for military academies?A. He’s the first CAP member admitted by a military academy.B. He only got accepted into one academy.C. He chose the academy that offered his favorite program.D. He chose the academy with the lowest acceptance rate.30.What kind of boy is Peter?A.Optimistic and ambitiousB.Cautious and independentC.Stubborn and determinedD.Adventurous and creativeCRejecting idea of‘ideal’ imageOn social media, you may see “BM girls”, who wear small skirts, tiny T-shirts and skinny jeans. The group is named after the Italian fashion brandBrandy Melville. It says its cl othes are “one size fits all”.However, most clothes the brand provides for girls are in small sizes, according to British newspaper The Sun. The brand’s idea of “one size fits all” has made many girls feel uncomfortable.“For me, the problem was not the fact that I couldn’t purchase your merchandise (商品). The root of my frustration is in the humiliation ( 屈辱) I felt when I realized that ... I just wasn’t good enough for the Melville brand,” young girl Andy Esmond wrote on the website Odyssey. “I got the message loud and clear: If you don’t have an ‘ideal’ body type, we would rather you not wear our clothing.”Esmond is one of many girls around the world who are dissatisfied with their body shapes. According to a 2018 survey conducted by Youth Select Committee in the UK, 8 in 10 teenage girls in the UK want to change their weight or body shape. In China, more than half of teenagers want to lose weight to make themselves look better, according to a 2018 survey by Southern Weekly.But fashion trends like the Brandy Melville clothing line do nothing to ease the anxiety of negative body image (形象). Instead, they feed it further, noted Coppell Student Media. In order to achieve such an “ideal” image, some girls develop eating disorders. Even worse, this trend may lead to low self-esteem (自尊), depression (抑郁) and hopelessness.“The idealization of thinness can be a key factor in exacerbating (使恶化) the illness and preventing recovery, and fashion retailers (零售商) should respect diversity in people’s natural body shapes and sizes,” Beat, the UK’s leading eating disorder charity, told Fabulous Digital.After all, beauty doesn’t come in a box, or in one form. Just recognize that we are all different and that is something to be celebrated. In fact, accepting your true self can display a natural beauty that cannot be ignored. Tips for learning to love one’s body1. Follow body-positive people on social media. They’ll show you thatthere’s not only one way to be beautiful.2.Practice thanking your body. Your body keeps you alive, carries you everyday, and protects you in many ways. Try to be thankful.3.Keep a healthy lifestyle. Loving your body doesn’t mean that you can’twork toward health goals (目标). However, when you work toward those goals with love for yourself, you will find it easier to reach them.31.What can we know about the group “BM girls”?A.The name concerns an American fashion brand.B.They only buy Brandy Melville clothes.C.They love to wear small-sized clothes.D.They always share what they wear online.32.Why were many girls dissatisfied with the brand Brandy Melville?A. It frustrated them because it offers limited sizes in clothing.B. Its products are too expensive for them.C. It offers all customers middle-sized clothes.D. It has poor customer service.33.How do fashion trends like one-size-fits-all influence consumers?A. They help people to improve their body image.B. They set new standards for clothing production.C. They encourage people to accept their body image.D. They cause some girls to develop unhealthy body images.34.What should fashion retailers do according to Beat?A. Promote the idea of wearing comfortable clothes.B. Help customers recover from their illnesses.C. Value differences in body shapes and sizes.D. Encourage customers to wear different clothes.35.What’s the author’s attitude towards the fashion trends like theBrandy Melville?A.NeutralB. ObjectiveC.ControversialD.Negative第II卷非选择题三、任务型阅读（本大题共 5 小题，每小题 3 分，共 15 分）Life as a teen CEOEli Zied was supposed to focus on his grades and his future plans for college at the age of 15. But at that time, he started his own business and created a fashion brand called Habits 365.Eli’s business talents and interests emerged (出现) around age 12 when he started buying and reselling sneakers. It inspired him “to create a brand that everyone could relate to”, Patch Southampton magazine reported.It was in August 2017 that he came up with the idea to create his own brand.“Habits dictate (影响) your life, and the better your habits are, the more successful you will be in the long run,” Eli told Forbes.He created designs and logos for his brand. Meanwhile, Eli brought his older brother Spencer Zied, then 19, a student majoring in accounting atthe University of Miami, into the company as chief operating officer.Thanks to their early accumulated revenues (收入) from reselling sneakers, the Zieds gained startup capital to invest in initial inventory (库存) and packaging. But one of the difficulties they encountered (遇到) was how to expand their brand exposure (曝光率). On the first night of their new business, they texted friends and asked them to follow the newly created Habits 365 Instagram account, which had only 150 followers at the time.They also reached out to influential athletes, musicians and agents through Instagram with offers of free goods in exchange for a photograph or a post. This strategy worked out. Now, even NBA All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo has worn the clothes of Habits 365.For Eli Zied, the teenage CEO, perhaps the biggest challenge is how to balance his study and business. “I do homework and study for exams when I first get home from school and work on the business at the end of the day once my schoolworkis completed,” said Eli. “That is still my main priority.”Eli, now an 18-year-old freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was surprised by the brand’s success. Habits 365 will be expected to reach $1 million (around 6.7 million yuan) in revenue by the end of 2020, he told Yahoo Finance. “I believe that one day Habits 365 will be one of the biggest streetwear brands in the world,” he told Forbes.36.When did Eli begin to show his talent for business?(No more than 3 words)37.Why did Eli name his brand “Habits 365”?(No more than 15 words)38.What dis his brother Spencer learn in university?(only one word)39.What does “priority” mean in the last but one paragraph?(no more than 4words)40.What’s your plan for your future career?and what will you do to accomplish your plan?(No more than 20 words)四、书面表达（本大题共 1 小题，共 25 分）41.假设你是晨光中学的李津。

At long last,in a comfortable home,with a generous pension he should learn to take things easy.“Thank you for your nice words,”he wrote in his letter back,“and I know what you meant,but slowing down scares me.Life isn’t having it made;it’s getting it made.”“The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid,and all difficult experiences had passed,and we had settled into a comfortable home.No.I go back years ago,when we lived in a three-room house,when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet.I rarely had more than four hours of sleep.But what I still can’t figure out is why I never got tired,never felt better in my life.I guess the answer is,we were fighting for survival,protecting and providing for those we loved.What matters are not the great moments,but the partial victories,the waiting,and even the defeats.It’s the journey,not the arrival,that counts.”The letter ended with a personal request:“Boy,on my next birthday,just tell me to wake up and get going,because I will have one less year to do things—and there are ten million things waiting to be done.”Christina Rossetti,an English poet,once said:“Does the road wind uphill all the way?Yes,to the very end.”Today,at 96,my grandfather is still on that long road,climbing.66.Wh at was the author’s grandfather before he retired?(no more than 5 words)_________________________________________________________________67.What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________68.What is the grandfather’s view on life according to his letter back?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________69.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________70.Do you agree with the grandfather’s view on life?Give reasons in your own words.(no more than 20 words)_________________________________________________________________六：书面表达（满分20分）假设你是新华中学的学生李华，你校英语协会正在招募志愿者，来接待来访的外国中学生。

That’s right, Rowan Atkinson.Atkinson was born in Newcastle, England and was educated at Newcastle University and Oxford. While at Oxford, he met the writer Richard Curtis, who was studying there too, and they became friends. Curtis was the opposite of Atkinson. He had great love for words while Atkinson enjoyed nonverbal comedy. Together they began writing comedy reviews for the Oxford Playhouse. Shortly afterwards, Atkinson began appearing in smaller theaters in Edinburgh. After a show at the Hampstead Theater in 1978, he was offered a part in the BBC series Not the Nineo’clock News. This series got off to a slow start, but soon became a hug success, with Atkinson winning a BAFTA award for his work. However, being a very sensible man, Atkinson saw the whole acting job as a hobby, along with his growing interest in car racing.Atkinson made his big-screen debut(初次亮相) in 1983’s unofficial James Bond film NeverSay never Again. That same year Atkinson appeared in the BBC series called Black Adder. The main hero named Edmund, tries unsuccessfully to become King of England after accidentially killing his uncle Richard III during a fight. This was followed by three hugely successfulsequels(续集) each set in a different era of England’ history. The Black Adder series was voted the Best Comedy Show of the Year in 1990. He then went on to create Mr. Bean. A walking disaster, Bean was purely physical comedy, the opposite of Edmund. This character was a huge success and became another national treasure. In 1997 Bean came to the big screen. A few year later, Scooby Doo became a box office hit in the US in 2002. This was followed by Johnny English if 2003, a6funny work of James Bond films.In his spare time Atkinson collects classic cars and takes part in races. He also writes for the British magazine CAR. He is a very shy man, and has managed to keep his private life, private.51.How did Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson get to know each other?A. They worked together for BBCB. They met in the Oxford PlayhouseC. They starred in the same seriesD. They went to the same university52.According to the text, the BBC series Not the Nine O’clock News _________.A. brought Atkinson fameB. became successful immediatelyC. made Atkinson give up physical comedyD. showed Atkinson’ s weakness53.What do we know about Atkinson at the beginning of his career?A. He kept writing comediesB. He did not see acting as a jobC. He did not like physical comedyD. He had an argument with Curtis54.Which work would you recommend to someone who like humor mixed with history?A. Black AdderB. Mr. BeanC. Johnny EnglishD. Not the Nine o’clock News55.What can we learn from the text?A.Atkinson often wrote plays for Oxford Playhouse.B.Never Say Never Again was a box office hit.C.Mr. Bean was voted the Best Comedy Show.D.Atkinson dislikes showing his personal life.BMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone as a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”7The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose wish is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S, Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(⾃由撰稿者), I had no hope at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.56.The writer is meant to ________.A.warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience.B.advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer.C.show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame.D.encourage young people to pursue a writing career.57.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B.A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.C.Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D.The chances for a writer to become successful are small.58.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A.He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B.He hadn’t seen a change for the better.C.He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.D.He found his dream would never come true.59.“... people who die wondering, “what if?” (Line 3, Para 3) refers to “those_________”.A.who think too much of the dark side of life8B.who regret giving up their career halfwayC.who think a lot without making a decisionD.who are full of imagination even upon death.60.“Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to____________.A.the wonderland one often dreams aboutB.the bright future that one is looking forward toC.the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedD.a world that exists only in one’s imagination.CDo you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, andself-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(把……归类) as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky (暗中的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be9difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.61.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our __________.A. friendly relationshipB. financial rewardsC. advertising abilityD. self-respect62.The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to __________.A. lyingB. stealingC.cheatingD. advertising63. The phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention” (in Para. 5) means_______.A. telling the truth to the clerkB. offering advice to the clerkC. asking the clerk to be more attentiveD. reminding the clerk of the charged item.64.How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?A. We’ll be very excited.B. We’ll feel unfortunate.C. We’ll have a sense of honor.D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.65.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. How to Live TruthfullyB. Importance of PeacefulnessC. Ways of Gaining Self-respectD. Happiness through Honorable ActionsDIn the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand(⽊架) with a small notepad(记事本) and a hole for a pencil.I"m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can"t be the same pencil. The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one."I"m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these10years." I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. "You still use a pencil. Can"t you afford a pen?"My mother replies a little sharply. "It works perfectly well; I"ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days. "Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, "One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was workingon."This story, which happened before I was born, reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is also a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil ofa cheap wooden breadboard, invisible exhibits at every meal.66.Why has the author"s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?A. To leave messagesB. To list her everyday tasksC. To note down maths problemsD. To write down a flash of inspiration67.What is the author"s original opinion about the wooden stand?A.It has great value for the familyB.It needs to be replaced by a better oneC.It brings her back to her lonely childhoodD.It should be passes on to the next generation.68.The author feels embarrassed for____________.A.blaming her mother wronglyB.giving her mother a lot of troubleC.not making good use of time as her mother did11D.not making any breakthrough in her field69.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The mother is successful in her careerB.The family members like travelingC.The author had little time to play when youngD.The marks on the breadboard have disappeared70.In the author’s mind, her mother is ______.A. strange in behaviorB. keen on her researchC. fond of collecting old thingsD. careless about her appearance五、单词填空，根据句意或者所给提⽰⽤词语的正确形式填空：10分71.Leave him alone.

He made sure I made my bed and did my homework. He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party. I got so angry with him for laying down the law. I would scream, “ I hate you!” Dad would yell back, “Good! I don’t care!” Deep down I knew he did.One time at a party, I drank too much alcohol and got so sick. I said, “ Call my dad.” Next thing, Dad was carrying me to the car. I woke up the next morning, thinking I would definitely be criticized. As expected, I got a roasting, but I now understand why I need discipline.Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films. I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series, but it wasn’t until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress. Like those early days for Dad, I faced lots of rejections. Working in such a competitive industry, I’ve sometimes thought, “ I can’t do this any more.”Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolle’s music and trying to find myself again. Dad sat me down and said,“Alice, I know it’s hard, but it’s all about persistence(坚持不懈).”Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We both passionate about acting, which comes from us being so interested in people. If it weren’t for Dad, I wouldn’t be where I am today.13He’s my biggest fan, and when you have that in your life you can go a long way.56. What rules did Alice’s father set for her when she was growing up?(no more than 15 words)57. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?(no more than 5 words)58. What did Alice’s father do when she felt depressed?(no more than 5 words)59. According to the last paragraph, what do Alice and her father have in common?(no more than 10 words)60.

These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO (fear of missing out). They reach of their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day, they constantly check their social media apps for the latest updates.Despite the convenience smart phones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits. This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for Android operating system. This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.It all starts with a bird’s-eye view. Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits. For example, a user can see how many times they’re unlocked their phone an d how many times they’re checked their social media apps,as well as how much time they spend on each app every day.Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day.But even if users become more mindful of their usage, they’re still likely to be drawn in by notification（通知）. Such feature automatically（自动地）silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts their phone face down.If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smart phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that.The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower.5. Who are the target users of Dashboard?A. People who know little about smart phones.B. People who have trouble dealing with stress.C. People who are slow at researching of things online.D. People who wish to manage the time they spend on their smart phones.6. What can Dashboard do?A. Lock the phone at a certain time.B. Limit some apps to certain users.C.

The underlined word “mindful” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.A. disappointedB. carefulC. preparedD. creative8. What does the author think of Dashboard?A. It’s not very useful.B. It’s perfectly designed.C. It should include more functions.D. It may be helpful to some people.CThe loud continuous noise of the cars or the sound of a plane can force its way into the deepest forest, yet it’s not only humans that are bothered by the noise.Bioacoustician Bernie Krause has been studying the effect of noise pollution on wildlife, and has come across some interesting behaviors, especially among animals that communicate by vocalization（发声）, like humans. Birds use sound to communicate, but in noisy places, these animals have to shout over the natural noise to be heard.Krause mentions a study of nightingales to clarify what he means. The birds responded to traffic noise by singing louder and louder until they actually went beyond noise pollution standards in the city. To belt out (sing loudly) their songs, they increased their lung pressure fivefold, but scientists state that this is not dangerous for the birds themselves.Studies show that sudden noise can cause certain birds to leave their nests, exposing the young to their enemies. One study also showed that songbirds that nested close to busy motorways were much less productive than those that nested farther away. Mammals（哺乳动物）too are affected. A recent study showed that nursing caribou responded to plane noise by not producing enough milk to feed their young.In some cases noise pollution can actually help some animals while harming others. Toads（蟾蜍）and frogs are known to vocalize in synchrony（同步；同步方式）so that no predator (their enemies) can zero in on them. Krause found that when planes flew overhead and disturbed the toad’s song, they lost t heir synchronicity, and it took them 45 minutes to get it back again. That gave their natural enemies plenty of time to find and catch individual toads by sound.According to Kra use, “Not only will noise pollution bother wildlife, but it won’t help our lives either.”9. How do young caribou suffer from aircraft noise?A. They receive less food.B. They can’t sleep at night.C. They are often displaced.D. They can’t hear their mothers.10. What would happen if toads and frogs failed to sing in union?A. They might be caught by their predators easilyB. They would stop communicating.C. They would soon regain their rhythm.D. They might be unable to hunt in groups.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The effects of noise pollution on wildlife.B. The causes of noise pollution.C. Animals’ reaction to noises.D. The ways animals communicate with each other.DWhat should you think about in trying to find your career (职业)? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.12. Which of the following best sums up (总结) the first paragraph?A. The importance of doing well at school.B. The importance of being good at all subjects.C. Using school performance to help to choose a career.D. The indirect value of school work.13. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably____.A. a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB. a good way to earn extra moneyC. useful for his future workD. a good way to find out his weak points14. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?A. History.B. English.C. Technical Drawing.D. Mathematics.15. The whole passage focuses on____.A. developing one’s abilities useful in school workB. acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC. finding one’s strong and weak pointsD. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in七选五（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。
