Then he tied on a small silver lure(鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly the boy felt something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened．He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,〞 he said．“Dad!〞cried the boy. “There will be other fish,〞 said hi s father. “Not as big as this one,〞 cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats could be seen in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught t he fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed．He threw the huge bass into the black water.The big fish disappeared．The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.4. How did the father feel when he saw his son skillfully pulling a big fish out of the water?A. DelightedB. NervousC. EmbarrassedD. Shocked5. From the text we know that .A.the father didn’t love his sonB. the father always disagreed with his sonC. the father disliked the huge fishD. the father was firm and stubborn6. What does the author want to show in the story?A. It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.B. An ethical decision is not difficult to make.C. It is hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.D.Fishing helps you to make right ethical decisions.CNow net fiction(小说),also called computer fiction is popular in more than 80 countries.To write computer fictions, the writers don't have to think about making any plot. Like reporters, they just go to a lot of places and collect materials：what most women want, their ideas about life and love, their happiness and sufferings and emotions. All these materials are fedinto the computer to be processed(处理) and classified(分类).Then the writers just pick some materials from every part and fill in some details(细节) and a story is made up.The first computer fiction was edited by 13 editors and published in Canada in 1976.It was a great success and 45 million copies were sold. Seeing this new process as profittaking(赢利的), a big American publishing company bought over the majority of the 13 Canadian editors and soon a series of computer fictions were published in the United States.All the computer fictions have very romantic titles. The heroines always about 20,while the hero is a 30 to 40 bachelor(单身的),handsome, with money and power. The heroand the heroine have a happy reunion(团聚) after all kinds of misunderstandings. Computer fictions are enjoyed by most women readers of the west. But people doubt if they have any literary value(文学价值).7.

Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr. Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides her bike.Alida was diagnosed〔诊断〕with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy〔NEHI〕when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter〔过滤〕oxygen through extra layers〔膜〕of cells making it hard or almost impossible to breathe.For Alida and her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the youngster to be able to carry herself. As parents they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time. The couple found out about “service dog s〞 from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever 〔寻回犬〕crossed with a poodle-dog Mr. Gibbs. Now--thanks to trainer AshleighKinsley—Alida and Mr. Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver.21. What is Mr. Gibbs?A. A trained dog.B. A policeman.C. A doctor.D. A firefighter.22. When did the doctor know Alicia caught the disease?A. At her birth.B. At the age of eight.C. Before she was one year old.D. When she was three years old.23. The underlined part “the couple〞 in paragraph 3 refers to ________.A. Alida’s classmatesB. Alida’s parentsC.Alida’s doctorsD. Alida’s pets24. How did Alicia keep alive?A. By training her dog.B. By staying with her parents.C. By playing with her fellows.D. By breathing through a tube.BThe Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Pealeoften painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits.James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像). His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.25. The author mentions in Paragraph 1 that Washington tipped his hat to the figuresin the painting to show that ________.A. Charles Will son Peale’s painting was very lifelikeB.

Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon?Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world.So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices, and pay our money.We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It’s true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income.Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔)in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial(卑微的) jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries, When the Maasai people in Tanzania were drivenfrom their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now somenon-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.The result is responsible tourism, or “ethical tourism.〞 Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people’s lands,homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex.But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a partto help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies canhelp by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we’re abroad, we can:Buy local foods and products, not imported ones.Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.Avoid flaunting wealth.Ask before taking photographs of people.They are not just part of the landscape!Let’s enjoy our vacation an d make sure others do, too.32. What is probably the best title for the article?A. Tourism Causes Bad Effects.B. Tourism Calls for Good Behavior.C. Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun.D. Vacations Cost More Than You Think33. Which of the following is not mentioned?A. Local people were well paid to leave their lands.B. Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.C. Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.D. Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price.34. The underlined phrase "take heart" means"".A. pay attentionB. take careC. cheer upD. calm down35. According to the passage, the writer thinks .A. tourism is not a promising industryB. dream vacations should be spent abroadC. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settleD. tourists should respect local customs and culture七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。

People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hatedthe taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.51.A good title for this reading passage is______.A. Popeye the SailorB. The Truth About SpinachC.A Mistake with NumbersD. Folic Acid Makes You Strong52.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the SailorA. They thought spinach made them strong.B. They thought Popeyewas funny.C. Spinach had a lot of iron.D.

But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on themIn the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list ofillnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening, 56.“Your body has close relations with the food you eat.”It really means that ______.A.all kinds of food you eat can be made into your bodyB.your body is made up of the food you eatC.what you eat has great effect on your healthD.the more you eat, the fitter you will feel57.The old saying referred to in the passage tells us that ______.A.eating apples regularly does lots of good to our healthB.the apple is the best among all kinds of fruitsC.apples can take the place of doctorsD. an apple is a sure cure for illness58.In the second paragraph, the writer tries to let us know ______.A.our bodies need food or we can’ t liveB.often eating apples is a good habitC.taking extra vitamin pills is completely uselessD.a good diet is of great importance for our health59.In the modern western countries ______.A.people don ‘t want to pay more attention to their eatingB.lots of people’ s illnesses are caused or made worse by bad eat ing habitsC.people throw everything into their stomachs without chewingD.people are only too busy to cook meals for themselves60.From the passage we can draw a conclusion that if we want to keep healthy,we should ____.A. only eat an apple a dayB. eat properlyC. take as many vitamin pills as possibleD.throw something into our stomachs slowly and carefullyDAt midnight on New Year’s Eve, people in Rome, Italy, throw out all the things they no longer want. The streets are filled with old chairs, beds, clothes and dishes. In Madrid, Spain, the new year comes in more quietly. People flock to the main square. Each holds a bagof grapes. As the clock strikes twelve, the people eat the grapes—one for each stroke.In Tokyo people eat noodles on New Year’s Eve. This food is said to bring long life. Early the next morning, some Japanese families climb Mount Fuji. There they watch the first sunrise of the new year.61. This story is about New Year’s Eve in ____.A. Italy and SpainB.

How can we have good relationships with others if we don’t even have good relationships with ourselvesThe problem might be worse tha n we expect. Maybe we don’t like ourselves without realizing it. Here is a simple checklist: Is there anything you don’t like about yourself from these lists Your past: Maybe you have made mistakes in the past which you feel bad about. 65. Even if that happened in distant past, your subconscious mind still has a reason not to like yourself.Your background: You might wish that you were born in different family, or that you have different background. 66. They seem to get whatever they want effortlessly because of their background.Your personal traits(特点): You might have some personality traits that you don’t like. For example, you may be an introvert(内向) and you don’t like it; you wish you were an extrovert.Others might have better achievements than you, and no matter how hard you tried, it might seem impossible for you to match them.67. Is there anything that resonate(产生共鸣) with you All these give reasons to you not to like yourself. That in turn makes it difficult for you to be a good friend to yourself.68 . Here are some tips:Forgive yourselfAccept things you can’t changeFocus on your strengthsWrite your success storiesStop comparing yourself with othersAlways be true to yourselfA. That is the crucial(关键) first step if we are to have good relationships with othersB.You might then think that it’s because you are not smart enough or don’t have enough talentsC.You can do something to improve the relationships with othersD.

第一节AOne day Bob took two of his friends into the mountains. They put up their tents and then rode off to a forest to see how the trees were growing.In the afternoon when they were about ten kilometres from their camp, it started to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could hardly see his hands before his face. He could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp, and the other went to his house. But all was white snow. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the camp?Bob had an idea. The horses! Let the horses take them back! But what would hap-pen if the horses took the road to his house? That would be a trip of thirty-five kilometres in such cold weather!It was getting late. They rode on and on. At last the horses stopped. Where were they? None of them could tell. John looked around. What was that under the tree? It was one of their tents!1. John and his two friends went to the forest to ____.A. build their campB. find their way homeC. enjoy the mountains in the snowD. see the trees in the forest2. They could not find their way back because ____.A. there was only one road to their campB. they couldn't decide which of the two roads led to their tentsC. there were no roads in the mountains at allD. everything was covered by the white snow3. It is clear that they wanted the horses to take them to ____.A. John's houseB. the campC. the forestD. the mountains4. The horses stopped because____.A. it was getting lateB. they were tired after running for a long wayC. they knew that they had got to the campD. they had seen John's houseBMost of us know about the Nobel Prize, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, but few of us know anything about the man who set them up. His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives（炸药）. His companies even made and sold weapons. Isn’t this something that surprises you?

ANational parks are an excellent way to explore all the beauty that the world has to offer:whether it’s endangered species,erupting volcanoes and snowy mountains,or rainforests and lakes.Of the thousands of national parks that exist in the world,these are the ones that should be on everyone’s bucket list.Yorkshire Dales,United KingdomContrary(相反)to the popular link of national parks with the wilderness,it is filled with winding valleys,hills and villages where over24,000people live and work.Visitors can walk through grassland,visit waterfalls or explore underground caves,but Yorkshire Dales is also home to several food shops,and the park hosts cheese festivals and farmers markets regularly,so it’s best to go hungry.Kakadu National Park,AustraliaIt is a delight for those who like a bit of history mixed with the biodiversity of national parks.While it houses thousands of species of wildlife,there’s more to the national park than that.Guilin and Lijiang River National Park,ChinaIt is surrounded by striking natural beauty and can be explored by land.But the river national park,as the name suggests,is best explored through leisurely boat rides that take visitors through many ancient towns that come along the way of the river.Vatnajökull National Park,IcelandHere’s a surprising fact:The whole of Vatnajökull National Park makes up14%of Iceland’s territory!The park is usually open for hikes around the glaciers;boat rides through glacier lakes,and tours that take visitors through the park’s many ice caves,waterfalls,and icebergs.Vatnajökull is also where two of Iceland’s most active volcanoes are located.21.What is recommended for a trip to Yorkshire Dales?A.Recording local customs.B.Skiing in the snowy mountains.C.Going with an empty stomach.D.Watching the eruption of volcanoes.22.Which park is the best choice for observing diverse wildlife?A.Yorkshire Dales.B.Kakadu National Park.C.Vatnajökull National Park.D.Guilin and Lijiang River National Park.23.What do the last two national parks have in common?A.There are many ancient towns.B.There are various ice caves inside.C.They are aimed at protecting rivers.D.They can be explored through boats.BThe sun was rising as we drove across the Minnesota state line to New York for my new PhD program.The move was good for me professionally,but I worried about my husband and daughters.I also feared that I wouldn’t be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved(应得的).Anne,our first daughter,came into the world when I was a junior majoring in biology in college.It was challenging to balance classes,work schedules,and being a mom.But I got through it,finding moments of joy along the way.On the nights when I was home,I’d read my class notes out loud with my daughter.She’d respond by asking questions,such as“Mom,what are bacteria(细菌)?”It helped us both learn.After I graduated,I knew that I would need a PhD to land the kind of job I wanted.I arrived in New York feeling more than the usual new-graduate-student anxiety.I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was being selfish—that my decision to prioritize my career was going to have long-term bad impacts on my kids.So,I made a rule lo never be visibly upset about my work in front of my children.Over the past year,though,I’ve started to let go of some of this worry.I’ve realized that we have not only adapted to our new situation,but things are getting better.My husband landed a job that lie is happy with.Anne dreams of becoming a biologist.Recently,while driving past the cancer institute I work at,Anne said,“Thinking about people having cancer is so sad,but I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help.”Pursuing academic career as a young mother is hard,but it’s also rewarding.My kids are learning to look at the world through science,and watching their mom succeed inspires them.I look forward to seeing them follow ray footsteps,whatever path they choose.24.How did the author feel about the move for her PhD program at first?A.It was fruitful but boring.B.It was hopeful but challenging..C.It was the last thing she would do.D.It was promising for the whole family.25.What does the underlined word“prioritize”in Paragraph3probably mean?A.CreateB.Change.C.Evaluate.D.Emphasize.26.What could be inferred from Anne’s words in Paragraph4?A.She is proud of her mother.B.She is interested in biology.C.Her mother takes her job seriously.D.She is ready to help patients with cancer.27.What might be the best title of the text?A.Ups and Downs in LifeB.Like Mother Like DaughterC.Double Harvests of Mom’s PursuitD.Generation Gap Narrowed by LoveCMore than ten years after introducing“Google Glass”,Alphabet Inc.has created a new kind of smart eyeglasses. The company says the wearable computer device can translate different languages in real time.A working model of the yet-unnamed device was presented to the public last month during the yearly Google conference.Google did not say when the glasses might go on sale to the public.The previous Google Glass device included a wearable camera that could film what the wearers saw.That caused widespread privacy concerns.The camera element also gave Google Glass a kind of science-fiction look.The latest device looks more similar to traditional glasses.A brief demonstration of the new eyeglasses described its translation ability,but did not provide additional details.The company also did not say whether the new device would be equipped with a camera.A demonstration explained that a person,wearing the glasses and talking with someone who speaks a different language,can see the spoken words in their own language.The description showed translations including English,Mandarin,Spanish and American Sign Language.The new device is one of several products shared at the conference that are currently in development.The company says the products aim to better connect Google services with activities happening in the real world.This includes company offerings for searching and viewing maps,as well as other services using the latest developments in artificial intelligence(AI).Eddie Chung,a director of product management at Google,spoke to developers about the new eyeglasses.“What we’re working on is technology that enables us to break down language barriers,taking years of research in Google Translate and bringing that to glasses,”he said.“Apart from breaking down language barriers,another use of these translating glasses is enabling communication with people who are deaf or hard of hearing.While these glasses might not be a revolutionary product like Google Glass,they could provide a relatively simple solution to a real-world problem.”28.What can we learn about the latest smart eyeglasses?A.They will be equipped with a camera.B.They will appear on the market next year.C.They can help users communicate easily.D.They have a kind of science-fiction look.29.What’s the purpose of this text?A.To share a wearable computer device on sale.B.To introduce a new product in development.C.To advertise the smart eyeglasses for

eyeglasses.A.Favorable.B.Doubtful.C.Opposed.D.Disappointed.DGardeners who use pesticides(杀虫剂)are contributing to the decreasing population of British songbirds,a study suggests.Researchers have advocated stopping using poisonous chemicals in gardens in order to reduce the loss of birds and adopt wildlife-friendly practices instead.The results of the University of Sussex study,which researchers call the first of its kind,were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.The study,which examined information on pesticide use and garden management from615garden owners in Britain,found32percent of gardens used pesticides,and the number of house sparrows was25%lower when glyphosate-based herbicides was used regularly.Slug pellets(鼻涕虫杀虫剂)also seemed to have an impact on bird sightings;in gardens where Slug pellets were used,house sparrow numbers were down by almost40%.Prof.Dave Goulson,of the school of life sciences at the University of Sussex,said,“The UK has22million gardens,which collectively could be a fantastic shelter for wildlife,but not if they are overly tidy and sprayed with poisons.We just don’t need pesticides in our gardens.Many towns around the world are now pesticide free.We should simply ban the use of these poisons in cities,following the example of France.”The Royal Horticultural Society,the UK’s leading gardening charity,said the use of pesticides and herbicides should be avoided if possible and they should only be used,if ever,in small and targeted applications.The research also found that those who adopted wildlife-friendly practices such as planting native bushes and flowers,or digging a wildlife pond,saw more birds than those who did not.Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu,a PhD researcher within the school of life sciences and an author of the study,said,“It’s encouraging lo find that simple measures,such as planting native bushes and trees and creating a pond,together with avoiding the use of pesticides, really make a measurable difference lo the number of birds you will see in your garden.”32.Why are the data mentioned in Paragraph2?A To help gardeners choose the proper pesticides.B.To compare the effects of two kinds of pesticides.C To reveal the serious influence of pesticides on birds.D To inform readers of the importance of house sparrows.33.What can be inferred from Prof.Dave Goulson’s words?A.Pesticides should be banned from use all over the UK.B.France has already made city regions pesticide free.C.The ideal places for wildlife in the UK are extremely tidy gardens.D.The gardens in the UK are so tidy that pesticides are not needed.34.What is the last paragraph about?A.Other methods to keep gardens tidy.B.Gardeners’attitudes towards the experiment.C.Other researchers’interest in the experiment.D.Additional ways to increase the number of birds.35.In which section of a newspaper can we probably find this text?A.Environment.B.Health.C.Transport.D.Economics.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
