From how much I love my cat, my family and my friends- with my cat on top of the list- to how much I love an Ulster fry armed with soda and potato bread.Being now in my third year at university, I was adjusting to boring old English breakfasts. Meanwhile, I got used to living away, surrounded by new friends and nice food. Then I moved to Germany for my year abroad, saying goodbye to practically everything I knew about food.I’ve visited the two largest supermarkets in Germany—Edeka and Aldi, Although they offer a wide variety of groceries, I have no idea what to do with them, which is not unique to Germany. As I wandered through the lanes, I found what I’d been looking for when I came across some eggs, one of my favorite foods as they are the only things I can cook. However, my happiness was cut short when I was faced with the task of choosing what TYPE of eggs. Not only were there all sorts of different colors—blue, red, green, you name it—there were also multi-colored eggs. I have never been so confused, especially about eggs. I immediately felt defeated, chose some white eggs and took myself home to cook the one dish I know—eggs on toast.To be fair, I have only been living here for two weeks, so I don’t have much experience in the German kitchen yet (but to be honest I don’t have much experience in any kitchen). Apart from the food, I’m loving Germany. It is surprisingly easy to adapt to the new culture and I find it fascinating. If only the food were as easy for me to fall in love with!25. What docs the author miss the most from home?A. Her cat.B. Her family.C. Her friends.D. An Ulster fry,26. What does the author mean by “saying goodbye. . . I knew about food”?A. She said goodbye to everything she learnt.B. She didn’t want to move to the German university.C. She said goodbye to the food in England.D. She found German food different and unfamiliar,27. What can we learn about the author?A. She was an experienced cook back in England.B. She loves everything about Germany but its food.C. Her happiness deepened as she found colorful eggs.D. Her experience in the German kitchen was memorable.28. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. What I Love About GermanyB. Different Cultures, Similar ConditionsC. Colorful Cultures, Different FoodD. How I Learned to Cook with EggsCSweden is moving away from cash in favor of cards and mobile payment apps. According to a new study, the nation is on track to leave cash behind completely by 2023, though retailers (零售商) expect to still accept cash for a couple more years after that.Have you noticed that, over the years, you’ve begun to use your cards or mobile pay apps much more frequently than cash? You’re not alone in this. This trend has been on the rise in other countries around the world. In China, for example, cash is quickly on its way out, with mobile payments doubling last year. Sweden has also been forgoing cash at an increasing rate over the last several years, and experts predict that it’s only a short matter of time before the country is entirely cashless.In fact, Sweden may be completely digital in just a few years, if researchers Niklas Arvidsson and Jonas Hedman of Copenhagen School of Economics are to be believed. The pair estimate that cash will no longer be used or accepted by Swedish retailers by 2023, at the earliest. Currently, 97% of all retailers accept cash payments, but only 18% of all transactions actually involve cash.Interestingly, mobile payments are performing rather poorly. Credit cards are the primary way people pay, with mobile pay apps accounting for o nly 0.4 %. It’s unclear why only a small number of people seem to use them; it could be a matter of convenience, trust or simply knowing how.Consumers are largely facilitating the change, though banks have also done their part to push people away from cash, as they want ;to reduce the risk of robbery. Retailers share this sentiment. “We wanted to minimize the risk of robberies and it’s quicker with the customers when they pay by card,” says bakery manager Victoria Nil sson. “It’s been mainly positive reactions. ”29. What is the most common way of paying in Sweden?A. Cash.B. Credit cards.C. Pay apps.D. Bank accounts.30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “forgoing” in Paragraph 2?A. Giving up.B. Looking for.C. Talking about.D. Depending on.31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. No retailer in Sweden will take cash in 2023.B. Credit cards will eventually replace mobile payments.C. Retailers are in favor of the trend of becoming cashless.D. Banks become worried as people move away from cash.DI strongly believe that individual actions make a difference to our environment. I’ve been a vegetarian for more than two decades, choose to be child-free partially because I can’t justify my genes’ importance over the shocking amount of resources needed for raising another American, and haven’t owned a car in four years. Those thing s, over time, will absolutely reduce my impact on our beautiful world, and the more people do them, the greater the impact is.But it’s not n early enough.While I will continue to do my part to fight climate change, I have to wonder why there isn’t an equal effort by those who have the biggest impact. According to a recent report, 71% of greenhouse gases are produced by just 100 companies. Surely, working to minimize their emissions (排放物) will do far more, much faster than me talking people’s ears off on Facebook about eating less meat. After all, I have been doing that kind of work for 20 years now, and we are still headed towards climate disaster.Why should so much of the solution to global warming be on the shoulders of individuals?When President Kennedy decided we needed to beat the Russians to the moon landing, he didn’t encourage housewives to figure out bow to get there. He got the smartest and most talentedpeople together to solve the challenges. NASA got us there, with lots of hard work and late nights, and also full encouragement and funding from the US government.But this is not the case with climate change. Big companies are let off the hook while we take on the huge burden of dealing with the emissions of the biggest and most powerful. That strikes me as just plain unfair. The serious threats of climate change require an all-hand-on-deck response. Corporations need to do their part, because I can’t do it on my own.32. Why does the author choose not to have a child?A. America doesn’t have large amounts of resources.B. A child can’t justify the importance of her genes.C. She tries to avoid the trouble of raising a child.D. She wants to reduce her impact on the environment.33. What does the underlined phrase “that kind of work” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. Minimizing companies’ emissions.B. Recommending a vegetarian dict.C. Talking with friends on Facebook.D. Heading towards climate disaster.34. Why does the author mention America’s moon landing in Paragraph 5?A. To praise hou sewives’ contribution.B. To remember a former president.C. To stress the importance of government’s role.D. To encourage NASA to take on the challenge.35. What can we learn about the big companies in America?A. Their efforts to fight climate chang e aren’t enough.B. They are the reason why the climate gets colder.C. Their burden should be shared by ordinary Americans.D. They are responsible for today’s social unfairness.第二节(共5小题；每小题3分, 满分15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。

These vessels (容器) were made to carry sacrificial offerings, to use in burial or to honor noble families in public ceremonies. When they were found by emperors centuries later, these spiritually significant objects were seen as signs of heavenly messages about a ruler or a dynasty and became prized items in royal collections. This exhibition —the first to explore these ancient objects throughout Chinese history — presents a rare opportunity to experience a large number of these works together in the United States.Unlike Greek and Roman bronze sculptures of human and animal forms, most objects from Bronze Age China (about 2000 - 221 BC) were vessels for ceremonial use. Beginning with the Song dynasty (960 - 1279), emperors unearthed these symbolic works and began collecting them, considering them to be evidence of their own authority as rulers. In addition to impressive collections, the royal fascination with bronzes led to the creation of numerous reproductions and the comprehensive cataloguing of palace holdings. These catalogues are works of art themselves, featuring beautiful drawings and detailed descriptions of each object.From the 12th century onward, scholars and artists also engaged in collecting and understanding ancient bronzes. Unlike emperors, scholars regarded bronzes as material evidence of their efforts to recover and reconstruct the past, and they occasionally exchanged them as tokens (象征) of friendship. Today ancient bronzes still occupy a primary position in Chinese culture — as historical objects and as signifiers of an important cultural heritage that inspires new generations, as seen in the works of contemporary artists on view in this presentation.Mirroring China’s Past brings together approximately 180 works from the An Institu t e of Chicago’s strong holdings and from the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Shanghai Museum, and important museums and private collections in the United States. By providing viewers with a new understanding of ancient bronzes and their significance through time, the exhibition demonstrates China’s fascinating history and its developing present.28. In what way are Chinese bronzes different from Greek and Roman ones?A. They fascinated the royal family.B. They took animal or human forms.C. They served ceremonial purposes.D. They were important cultural heritage.29. What does the author think of catalogues of bronzes?A. Unreal.B. Creative.C. Artistic.D. Necessary.30. What can we infer about the exhibition according to the text?A, h is held in China. B. It is arranged by time.C. It is organized by scholars.D. It includes modem artworks.31. What does the underlined word “holdings” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Viewers.B. Collections.C. Museums.D. Art dealers.DI was in the middle of coding a web page when my wife emailed me these questions: Ever wonder what it would be like to have the face, the brains, the personality and the body? What it would be like tohave everyone stop when you walk in a room? What it would he like to be able to get anything or anyone you want? I stopped for a mome nt and thought about it because my wife wouldn’t email me this unless something had driven her to do so. I emailed her back with what I thought was a pretty good answer. Here is what I wrote her back.Yes, I had thought many times about what it would be like to be one of the beautiful people. To be able to take your breath away when I walked into a room, or to be the life of the party and have everyone fawning (奉承) over me as I wore only the finest clothes and sported the perfect body? But then I always came back to the realization that a lifestyle like that is so fragile. As you get older, your body changes; as you get older, the money changes. Your body never looks the same, the clothes become more and more expensive to maintain. And once you have crossed the line, suddenly you are out. The next fresh face comes in and you are quickly forgotten.All through growing up I was never an attractive person. I was overweight and picked on. But that didn’t stop me from being a nice person — a good, clean, funny and helpful person. I was the person who you came to when you needed a friend after a breakup. I was the one you came to when you needed a joke to brighten up your day. And in the long run, I will be the one you remember, not the new face, or the fresh style.In closing, I would like to say that we, as a people, have developed into looking at things that are bigger an d better instead of what will last. I don’t know about you, but I will remember the friend who helped me when I was down, more than the hot girl I just saw walking down the street.I wish I could teach the world some more jokes.32. How did the author rea ct to his wife’s questions?A. He took them seriously.B. He went on coding the pageC. He replied to them right away.D. He wondered why she had done so.33. What can we learn about the author?A. He cares much about appearance.B. He has a clever and beautiful wife.C. He is always ready to help others.D. He doesn’t like beautiful women.34. According to the text, the author would agree that one should .A. try a new and fresh lifestyleB. tell jokes to live a meaningful lifeC. wear fancy clothes to attract peopleD. be the person who brings joy to others35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What Is Wisdom?B. What Will Last?C. Three QuestionsD. Three Answers第二节（共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。

ATraveling to Europe to see famous monuments like the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Colosseum （古罗马竞技场）in Rome, is not exactly the ideal vacation for kids. Fortunately, Europe has more to offer than lots of old churches and ancient history. You can enjoy some fun with your kids in the sun at some of the famous beaches of the continent.Mykonos, GreeceThe closer you get to the equator, the longer the beach season is, and Greece is wonderful for that. You can enjoy beautiful green water, public chairs and lovely umbrellas at the beaches in Mykonos.Dubrovnik, CroatiaThere’s nothing more attractive than the beautiful beaches bordering Dubrovnik, Croatia’s most beautiful city. It’s surrounded by stone walls like a castle. It almost makes you feel like you’re suntanning（晒黑皮肤）at Hogwarts, where the hero Harry Porter of the story is trained!Sicily, ItalyRabbit Beach on the island of Sicily offers shallow and crystal clear waters, making it a perfect beach for families with young children. And if you want to add interest to your experience, try snorkeling（徒手潜水）.Nice, FranceLined with palm trees and first-class hotels, the city of Nice, located on the French Riviera, offers a whole coastline of Mediterranean beaches. Because they’re in the heart of the city, these beaches attract a large crowd. So if you’re looking for something more private, you’ll have to travel a few miles outside of the city center.Ribadeo, SpainAt low tide, Playa de las Catedrales in Ribadeo, Spain is the perfect beach to take in the natural wonders without urban amusements like restaurants, bars or huge crowds. It boastsbeautiful wild flowers and unique rock formations making it truly picture worthy.21. What makes Dubrovnik so special?A. It is surrounded by stone walls.B. It has the most attractive coastline.C. It has the longest beach season.D. It is the training center of Harry Porter.22. If you plan to go to a beach in the city, where should you go?A. Mykonos.B. Sicily.C. Nice.D. Ribadeo.23. Which of the following is true about Ribadeo?A. Visitors can try snorkeling there.B. It offers visitors first-class hotels.C .It has restaurants, bars and huge crowds.D. Visitors can enjoy unique rock formations there.24. What do all the beaches have in common?A. They have beautiful wild flowers.B. They are famous European beaches.C. They are well known for their green water.D. They provide visitors with urban amusements.BYears ago, my wife and I volunteered at a homeless shelter in downtown Los Angeles, US, preparing meals for thousands of people. I got to talk with one of the guys in line, Albert. He said he liked my socks. “Want to see mine?” he asked, lifting his leg. He was barefoot. He said he had been meaning to buy a pair but he hadn’t got around to it. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach.The next day, after work, I stopped at Ross and filled up a cart with socks. I stuffed my trunk with them. That next morning, I set my alarm for 5 a.m. and drove over to Santa Monica’s Palisades Park, which is a common destination for homeless people.I took one of the bags from my trunk. It was still dark out. I headed for a group of three men, standing around a tree, probably using it as a windbreaker. Two were asleep under heavy blankets, and the third was digging through his collection. As I walked toward him, he watched me, perhaps questioning my motives. “I thought you guys might need some fresh new socks,” I said, handing him a pair. He looked confused at first but took them and said, “Thank you.”I gave him two more pairs for his friends.I moved on. An hour later, I had given out all the socks. Most people were sleeping, and I felt like Santa. I knew that when they woke up they would find a very meaningful present.That was nine years ago, Every week I’ll hand out as many socks as I can. If I’m on vacation or on a business tip for more than a week, I bring a bag of socks with me and hand ten out to the homeless on the streets in other states and countries.It’s extremely satisfying to operate “under the radar”to help make some people’s lives a little bit easier. Part of me hopes to see Albert there one of these days, but even if I don’t,I like to think one of the pairs will find him.25. What caused the author to hand out socks to the homeless?A. Albert’s desire to get free socks.B. The approach of Christmas Day.C. His hard work at a homeless shelter.D. The conversation between him and Albert.26. Which is true about the author according to the passage?A. He believed it felt good to help the homeless.B. He went to Ross to buy a pair of socks for Albert.C. He handed out socks to the homeless as Christmas gifts.D. He was often questioned about why he was giving out socks.27. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Santa Claus brings Christmas giftsB. Kindness is rewarded with kindnessC. Every sock helps make somebody’s dayD. Socks are passed on from hand to handCFamous people have a lot of influence on cultural trends, like it or not. However, one trend that seems harmless but is actually damaging, is the pressure on stars to have their photos taken with exotic（奇异的）animals. Famous people who are asked to have photos taken with wild animals for a magazine spread or who do so while on vacation always have good intentions and even love animals. This makes them easy targets for the often greedy amusement parks and illegal animal centers. Kind people are naturally drawn to places that claim（声称）to offer exotic animalssafety and are eager to see elephants paint, to hug baby bears or to swim with dolphins. However, it turns out that many of these business persons are breeders（饲养动物者），dealers or exhibitors that are using famous people's goodwill for their own purposes.Many business persons continually keep the animals just so they’ll have a constant supply of young animals in order to charge money for photos. Of course, the babies are lovely but they grow fast, and within a few weeks they are too big to handle. They’ll spend the rest of their lives, sometimes decades, in small and empty cages or even be killed.In some Asian countries, elephants are kept in camps. A few camps are working to help elephants in trouble, but the vast majority are not, and raining methods are barbaric（野蛮的）and cruel.

A project conducted by Johann Siau, a senior lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire’s School of Engineering and Technology, has built on the university’s InterHome project aimed to create a home that supervises people living at home who are weak or elderly.“We’ve developed a wristband type of device（装置）,” said Johann Siau, “which allows us to monitor the condition of an elderly person, or whoever is wearing the device. It allows us to collect data of a person to see if the person has fallen or is away from where they are supposed to be. It connects an elderly person with an assisted living type of device with the InterHome.” The assisted living project is part of the university’s wider InterHome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house stores the usage patterns of the person living there and can adapt to make it use as little energy as possible. Connecting the two together and building the service element（元素）allow us to introduce the assisted living idea to care for the elderly. It’s very important that these technologies are there to help and support rater than to replace any of the existing services.The InterHome is not just a prototype（样品）or a vehicle for research. It’s a study tool to help students from different scientific backgrounds learn about and develop technology. The InterHome combines the latest broadband technology, mobile data and communication. Researchers and students make sure that all the technology works together. Students get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. It requires a variety of skills from students—electronic engineers, computer students, design students ad so on. “The present plan we are working on is a smart home project in Watford with some commercial companies.”said Johann Siau. “We are looking at how a smarter home can provide extra value services.”32. The underlined word “supervises” in Paragraph 1 probably means “______”.A. watches overB. gives support toC. directsD. comforts33. What is the InterHome project intended to do?A. Call on the students to care for old people.B. Provide beer care and services for the elderly.C. Carry out all the work the existing services do.D. Develop houses that mainly aim to save energy34. What can we learn about the InterHome project from the article?A. It is a large collection of many existing technologies.B. It is just a platform to help students to do research work.C. It is a smart home project developed by different universities.D. It allows students to put into use and try out what they’ve learned.35. What is the main purpose of the author in writing this article?A. To build up a new platform for students to develop new technology.B. To show how future buildings will change elderly people’s way of life.C. To describe a new project that aims to develop a smart home for the elderly.D. To introduce a new kind of technology to help people to enjoy a beer life.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The heart doctors can use the models to better help patients before an operation. Surgeons regularly use digital images to explore the heart in close detail. But no two human hearts are alike. This led Matthew Bramlet, a children's heart expert, to create exact heart models from those images. He says the 3D models show information he cannot get in any other way. The 3D printed model adds a new dimension to heart surgery, allowing surgeons to see defects that might not be readily apparent in digital images.A 3D printer uses images from a digital display to create a physical model of a human heart. Pictures from medical tests like a CAT scan or an MRI scan are sent to a 3D printer to create a heart in a plaster or a clay form. The printer then constructs the heart, thin layer by thin layer. Dr. Bramlet says the model matches the real heart in every detail.Dr. Bramlet has built model hearts for different kinds of heart operations. All of the operations were successful. In his first case, digital images showed only one tiny hole in a baby's heart. But the 3D printed model showed several defects that the baby was born with. Dr. Bramlet says those defects could not be seen easily in the images. The heart surgeon was able to change the type of surgery for the patient based on the 3D model. He added that 3D heart models saved time during heart operations.Kathy Magliato is a heart surgeon. She welcomes the new technology. She says it could help her make better decisions before she operates on the hearts of her patients.Matthew Bramlet continues to research the technology. He is working with the National Institute of Health to build a 3D library that includes heart models and images that others can use.28. What’s thr limitation of digital heart images?A. A lack of close details.B. Inability to display defects.C. Failure to show personal differences.D. Inaccuracy in the size of the child’s heart.29.What can the heart model created by 3D printing do?A.It can replace the human heart.B. It can conduct heart operations.C. It can make defects readily apparent.D.It can serve as an alternative to a CAT scan.30. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A. Dr. Bramlet wasted a lot of time in heart operations.A. 3D heart models have not been used in surgery at present.B. All of the operations were unsuccessful without 3D models.C.The model revealed defects previously unseen in the baby's heart.31.How does Kathy Magliato feel about the 3D printing?A. Tolerant.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Negative.DArchitect Vincent Callebaut recently introduced a plan for high-flying teams of self-sufficient aircraft that are one part of airship cities and one part hydrogen-producing floating farms. Called Hydrogenase (氧化酶）， t h e aircraft are 100% emission-free and are capable of creating hydrogen without consuming land needed for crops or forests. We’ ve seen futuristic airships before, but never one that doubles asa hydrogen-producing flying farm! Designed for the South China Sea near Hainan,Callebaut’s hydrogenase airships are completely self-sufficient and contain a specialized breed of seaweed that absorbs sunlight andCO2 to produce hydrogen.According to the architecis, "The output obtained with micro-seaweed is superior to that of using farming to produce biofuel. 330 grams of seaweed produce 1, 000 liters of hydrogen per day, while for example soybeans produce roughly 1,000 liters of oil per hectare (公顷).Ahectare of seaweed could thus produce much more biofuel than a hectareof soybeans."In addition to providing a clean source of renewable energy,Hydrogenase airships offer an eco-friendly means of transportation. Although certainly slower than ordinary planes, the airships are nearly silent and require a very little basic structure to take off and land. The architects also suggest that the airships could provide disaster relief to remote areas, and be used as flying hospitals and aid centers. Each hydrogenase airship is covered with flexible photovoltaic cells(光电池）.The interior features room for housing,offices, scientific laboratories, and entertainment, and a series of bioremediating (生物治理）vegetable gardens provide a source of food while recycling waste. Hydrogenase is certainly for futuristic concept, but il does use a setof technologies being developed today — and perhaps one day we willsee fantastic ideas like this take flight.32.What do we know about Vincent Callebaut?A.He is working on a floating farm.B.He compares many different airships.C.He has developed a self-sufficient aircraft.D.He has come up with a plan for new aircraft.33.Why do the airships contain seaweed?A.To produce oxygen.B. To create hydrogen.C. To absorb hydrogen.D. To absorb harmful gases.34.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A.Farms with seaweed produce more food.B.Farms with seaweed are more efficient at producing biofuel.C.Soybeans can’t be planted on the airships.D.Farms with seaweed will surely replace traditional farmlands.35.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The advantages of the airships.B.The disadvantages of the airships.C.The airships renewable energy source.D.When and where the airships can be used.第二节（共5小题;每小题3分.满分15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項。

These vessels (容器) were made to carry sacrificial offerings, to use in burial or to honor noble families in public ceremonies.When they were found by emperors centuries later, these spiritually significant objects were seen as signs of heavenly messages about a ruler or a dynasty and became prized items in royal collections. This exhibition —the first to explore these ancient objects throughout Chinese history — presents a rare opportunity to experience a large number of these works together in the United States.Unlike Greek and Roman bronze sculptures of human and animal forms, most objects from Bronze Age China (about 2000 - 221 BC) were vessels for ceremonial use. Beginning with the Song dynasty (960 - 1279), emperors unearthed these symbolic works and began collecting them, considering them to be evidence of their own authority as rulers. In addition to impressive collections, the royal fascination with bronzes led to the creation of numerous reproductions and the comprehensive cataloguing of palace holdings. These catalogues are works of art themselves, featuring beautiful drawings and detailed descriptions of each object.From the 12th century onward, scholars and artists also engaged in collecting and understanding ancient bronzes. Unlike emperors, scholars regarded bronzes as material evidence of their efforts to recover and reconstruct the past, and they occasionally exchanged them as tokens (象征) of friendship. Today ancient bronzes still occupy a primary position in Chinese culture — as historical objects and as signifiers of an important cultural heritage that inspires new generations, as seen in the works of contemporary artists on view in this presentation.Mirroring China’s Past brings to gether approximately 180 works from the An Institute of Chicago’s strong holdings and from the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Shanghai Museum, and important museums and private collections in the United States. By providing viewers with a new understanding of ancient bronzes and their significance through time, the exhibition demonstrates China’s fascinating history and its developing present.28. In what way are Chinese bronzes different from Greek and Roman ones?A. They fascinated the royal family.B. They took animal or human forms.C. They served ceremonial purposes.D. They were important cultural heritage.29. What does the author think of catalogues of bronzes?A. Unreal.B. Creative.C. Artistic.D. Necessary.30. What can we infer about the exhibition according to the text?A, h is held in China. B. It is arranged by time.C. It is organized by scholars.D. It includes modem artworks.31. What does the underlined word “holdings” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Viewers.B. Collections.C. Museums.D.Art dealers.DI was in the middle of coding a web page when my wife emailed me these questions: Ever wonder what it would be like to have the face, the brains, the personality and the body? What it would be like to have everyone stop when you walk in a room? What it would he like to be able to get anything or anyone you want? I stopped for a moment and thought about it because my wife wouldn’t email me this unless something had driven her to do so. I emailed her back with what I thought was a pretty good answer. Here is what I wrote her back.Yes, I had thought many times about what it would be like to be one of the beautiful peopic. To be able to take your breath away when I walked into a room, or to be the life of the party and have everyone fawning (奉承) over me as I wore only the finest clothes and sported the perfect body? But then I always came back to the realization that a lifestyle like that is so fragile. As you get older, your body changes; as you get older, the money changes. Your body never looks the same, the clothes become more and more expensive to maintain. And once you have crossed the line, suddenly you are out. The next fresh face comes in and you are quickly forgotten.All through growing up I was never an attractive person. I was overweight and picked on. But that didn’t stop me from being a nice person — a good, clean, funny and helpful person. I was the person who you came to when you needed a friend after a breakup. I was the one you came to when you needed a joke to brighten up your day. And in the long run,I will be the one you remember, not the new face, or the fresh style.In closing, I would like to say that we, as a people, have developed into looking (or things that are bigger and better instead of what will last. I don’t know about you, but I will remember the friend who helped me when I was down, more than the hot girl I just saw walking down the street.I wish I could teach the world some more jokes.32. How did the author react to his wife’s questions?A. He took them seriously.B. He went on coding the pageC. He replied to them right away.D. He wondered why she had done so.33. What can we learn about the author?A. He cares much about appearance.B. He has a clever and beautiful wife.C. He is always ready to help others.D. He doesn’t like beautiful women.34. According to the text, the author would agree that one should .A. try a new and fresh lifestyleB. tell jokes to live a meaningful lifeC. wear fancy clothes to attract peopleD. be the person who brings joy to others35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What Is Wisdom?B. What Will Last?C. Three QuestionsD. Three Answers第二节（共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。

AUrban Transportation in CanadaPublic transportation & Transit passesAll cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation (bus，subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Etiquette on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:♦ Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.♦ If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.♦ Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.♦ Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.21. What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets?A. Safer trips.B. Longer service hours.C. Lower costs.D. More use of transport.22. How does the transportation system help people with disabilities?A. By running special transport services.B. By offering fewer transportation options.C. By limiting their mobility on city buses.D. By providing free rides in towns and cities.23. What is considered impolite on public transportation?A. Lowering your speaking voice.B. Placing backpacks at your feet.C. Staying close to other passengers.D. Having your proof of payment at hand.BToday we talk about a time when half the world is waking from the dark, cold winter months. Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blosso ming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming outsuddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is li vely and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, let’s say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “That’s amazing! After all, he’s no spring chicken.”But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful.

Those plans are finally becoming a reality, with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures set to open in 2019.The project is underway at the site of a historic Los Angeles department store built in 1939. Museum officials say visitors will be able to “experience the magic of cinema” by learning about all parts of the film-making process.Film historian Kerry Brougher has been named directors of the museum. Brougher says the museum will include 12 million photographs and 80,000 screenplays as well as props (道具), costumes and other objects from famous films. The Academy Museum will also feature Oscar statuettes (小雕像) donated by actors who won the awards.Brougher says the museum is designed to make visitors feel like they are in a movie, too, with many interactive experiences. “You won’t necessarily know what’s coming next,” he adds. “You’ll be in environments sometimes that make you feel like you’ve gone back to the past and that you’re in the area that you’re actually exploring.” He adds that visitors may even get the chance to walk down a red carpet and accept their own Academy Award.Currently, Hollywood only has a few possibilities for visitors. They can go along the Walk of Fame and visit movie studios or see the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars are presented. But beyond these, movie fans have limitedpossibilities.Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles says the Academy Museum will provide visitors the chance to experience many different parts of the film industry all in one place. Garcetti notes the museum will also serve the hundreds of thousands of local people working in film-related businesses. He says they, too, will finally be able to visit a place that celebrates their own Hollywood movie industry.28. When was the idea of building a museum in Hollywood first put forward?A.

Most visitors will be presented an award.D. Actors will donate much money to the museum.30. What is Eric Garcetti’s attitude towards the Academy Museum?A. Supportive.B. Critical.C. Disapproving.D. Cautious.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Film-making Process in Hollywood.B. The Film-making Process of Hollywood.C. Hollywood Making Plans of Film Museums.D. Hollywood Getting Its Own Film Museum.DFor your next out-of-this-world vacation, you now have the option of literally going out of this world—but it’ll cost you $ 40 million. Then again, can you really put a price tag on having the time of your life? According to a new report from Popular Mechanics, Russia is looking to build a luxury hotel in outer space. There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planet—the earth! The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS).While space tourism itself isn’t exactly a novel idea, the notion of building a hotel out there hasn’t been raisedis enough for most folks.According to Popular Mechanics, the hotel will include a luxury orbital suite with big windows, personal hygiene (卫生) facilities, exercise equipment, and yes, WiFi. Because if you can’t share your experience on social media, did it really even happen?Of course, the reasons behind the hotel aren’t just for fun and games. Apparently, space tourism might be able to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the international Space Station. Russian space contractor RKK Energia is currently building the first such module, which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests.If any of this is going to happen, however, Russia is going to have to hurry. With the ISS expected to be out of use in 2028, there’s little time to build the hotel and find wealthy tourists to actually buy a trip into outer space.So if you’ve recentl y come into a fortune and are interested in investing in what could be the time of your life, ISS is calling your name.32. What do we know about the hotel from the first paragraph?A. It is quite affordable.B. It will be built in Russia.C. It will offer an amazing view.D. It costs $ 40 million to build.33. What does the underlined phrase “the puzzle” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. An orbital suite.B. Space tourism.C. Space exploration.D. A creative idea.34. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Hotel guests won’t be able to see into space.B. Visitors are required to take exercise each day.。

The tradition of carrying or wearing one of each item is said to bring luck and fortune to the newly married couple. Have you ever stopped to think what the saying really means? What is its origin and what does each item represent?The original saying dates back to the Victoria times and states, “somethi ng old, something new, something borrowed and something blue and a silver sixpence in your shoe.” Something old A bride may wear or carry something old to represent her continued ties to her family and her old life. Many brides wear a piece of family jewelry as their old items. Some brides wear the wedding dress worn by theirmother or grandmother. In many cases, something old may also be something borrowed.Something new Wearing something new is supposed to represent success and hope in the bride’s new life and in her marriage. If the bride purchases her wedding dress new, it may represent her news items, but any item that is new may be used. Something “new” is usually the easiest kind to fill.Something borrowed The borrowed item should be something borrowed from a friend that is happily married. It is said that their happiness will rub off on you and bring lasting happiness to our marriage. Some brides borrow an item of clothing, a piece of jewelry, a handkerchief or perhaps a beaded(带珠子的) purse.Something blue Wearing something blue dates back to ancient times when a blue wedding dress was worn to represent purity, fidelity and love.Silver sixpence Placing a silver sixpence in the bride’s left shoe is said to be a symbol of wealth. This not only refers to financial wealth, but also a wealth of happiness and joy throughout her married life. Since most brides probably don’t even know what a sixpence is, this part of the tradition is not used very often in modern times. However, if a bride would like to include it in her wedding, she can purchasea silver sixpence from many companies that sell bridal supplies such as garters(袜带) and invitations.24. Why does the first paragraph end with two questions?A. To invite readers to answer them at once.B. To show the importance of this tradition.C. To have readers’ interest and attention.D. To test readers knowledge about wedding.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Something old might also be something borrowed actually.B. The part of the tr adition “silver sixpence” is never used now.C. The borrowed item can be something borrowed from any friend.D. Something new is usually the most difficult and expensive kind to fill.CSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”. But have you ever thou ght about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream. Although the cat doesn’t realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the dange r continues, the animal will do one of two things. It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry or scared by other feeling, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger, or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn't always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health. It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed. Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away. It's as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you'd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are you'd see little fruit flies flying all over them. They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist, but they’ll still be around. And at last you’ll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.28. When people and animals are aroused by anger or fear, __________.A. they feel very regretful immediatelyB. their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC. their hearts beat either faster or slowerD. they may get ready to attack or run away29. Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A. They are usually not as alert as animal.B. They sometimes can’t control their feelings.C. They always do something wrong to other people.D. They don’t pay attention to their physi cal changes.30. What can we infer from the passage?A. Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.B. Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C. Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.D. It’s good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.31. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B. To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C. To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.D. To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freelyDDiamonds are considered as the most famous and valuable jewel in the world. The precious stone for its great value is believed to be the symbol of wealth. Diamonds were made as a result of great volcanic heat and pressure. When a volcano is active, it sometimes explodes and causes great damage to the nearby towns.However, at the same time of such a disaster, diamonds were pushed towards the surface of the earth by a number of great volcanic explosions millions of years ago. Thus, it may be very likely to find a diamond after a volcano eruption. Besides, diamonds are also found among the sand and stones of certain river beds, and in a few places on the floor of the sea, for they were washed down the mountain sides by the rain.Diamonds are very rare. There are not many places that produce such precious things in the world. During the last century adventurers form Europe went to Brazil, because they had heard that there were diamonds in the River Amazon. Many of these early diamond miners died of illness or were lost forever in the great forests. But some returned home rich.The earliest known diamonds were found in India many centuries ago. The most recent and exciting dis coveries have been made in eastern Russia. But most of the world’s diamonds now come from Congo, from Tanzania------which has the largest diamond mine in the world and also from South Africa32. What do we know about diamonds according to the passage?A. Diamonds are always accompanied by volcano eruptions.B. Diamonds are created by volcano eruptions.C. Diamonds are considered as a sign of wealth.D. Diamonds could be always found in a few riverbanks.33. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a famous place producing diamonds?A. CongoB. South AfricaC. IndiaD. Western Europe34. What can we know from the third paragraph?A. Diamond mining can be dangerous for the miners.B. Brazil plays a more important role in diamond mining.C. River Amazon has no large diamond mines nowadays.D. Many miners returned home due to the risks in diamond mining.35. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A. Eastern Russia has been famous for diamond mining for a long time.B. The diamond deposit in eastern Russia wasn’t discovered until recently.C. Eastern Russia is not as important as African countries in diamond mining.D. The eastern part of Russia will replace all African countries in diamond mining.第二节（共五小题，每小题 2 分，共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，答案写在答题卡上。
