However,others just couldn,t manage to achieve anything. After a while,I found the biggest 13 lies in setting and reviewing goals regularly. A study shows those who have written goals and review them regularly are among the highest achievers.What do you do with your desires (渴望)and wants in life?You could pay no attention to them and leave them to 14 in your mind,or start taking action to get what you want. You need to set goals. A goal starts with a simple desire.Do you use any 15 for not setting goals?Whatever it is,I am sure your excuse is limiting you. If you,re 16 about what you want,you might end up at a certain age with things that you didn,t want.Setting goals and reviewing them regularly can increase your chances of succeeding. It can giveyou the right direction and 17 you moving closer to what you want. You will achieve more in months than many people do in years.If you have a strong desire for something,you have two 18 :wishful thinking,or taking action. You can wish for a miracle(奇迹),but do nothing. Or,you can get clear on the steps and take them, 19 ,one by one until you reach success.Setting goals is the most important and necessary step to achieve success in any area. It beginswith a desire,and then a written goal, 20 by the right attitude and action. Keep reviewing your goals and watch how your wish miraculously turns into your reality.13.

For 16 years,she loved her dear pet cat Blondie very much and wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. It is totally understandable thatshe had a special feeling for Blondie because she,d saved her from a building in Forth Worth. Butrecently,shortly after she and her husband had realized that Blondie seemed to be getting sick,the elderly cat died in her arms on her way to the pet hospital. Naturally,Mrs. Andrews was heartbroken.After Blondie,s death,Mrs.Andrews went to work every day,feeling upset. She couldn,t helpbut share the sad news of her sad loss with some of her students at Joshua High School in Joshua, TX,and shortly after,a few of the girls in her class came up with a few surprises to cheer her up.As one student filmed the moment,the girls first gave her some white roses,followed by cupcakes and balloons to express their care. Mrs.Andrews seemed touched,but it was their next surprise that deeply moved her and that everyone was talking about.All that the shocked teacher could seem to say was,“Are they for me?”as she held the baby cats named Missy and Girlie.“I knew something was going on when only half of my class was in my room,second period the next day when the bell rang,”Andrews told the Huffington Post,feeling thankful. “Then she held them out to me and said they were mine. My heart can now experience happiness again.”What the high school students did is really meaningful,especially for people who have gone through loss,like Tonya Andrews. The good news is that it certainly looks like it was worth all theeffort. Tonya Andrews finally was happy when her students did kind things for her.24. Why did Mrs.Andrews have a special feeling for Blondie?A. Because Blondie got sick.B. Because she was always lonely.C. Because Blondie was her first pet.D. Because she saved Blondie from a building.25. What did Mrs.Andrews do after Blondie died?A. She shared the sad news with her students.B. She bought two baby cats,Missy and Girlie.C. She got into an argument with her husbanD.D. She gave up her job at Joshua High School.26. According to the passage,what are Mrs.Andrews, students like?A. Confident and honest.B. Understanding and caring.C. Humorous and active.D. Brave and strong wille D.CZoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a goodthing?Those people who are against zoos would argue that animals often suffer(遭受痛苦)physically and mentally by being enclose'd. Even the best man made environments can't come close to matching the space,diversity (多样性),and freedom that animals have in their natural homes. This causes many zoo animals to become sick. Catching animals in the wild also causes much suffering by separating families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example,ocean parks often force dolphins and whales to perform. These sea animals dolphin may die years earlier than their wild relatives.On the other hand,by bringing people and animals together,zoos can educate the public about animal protection and encourage people to save animals and their homes. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated in circuses,or pets which have been given up and no longer wante D. Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illness.circusOne of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding (繁衍)programs,especially for endangered species (物种). In the wild,some of the species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding,and they might also be hurt or even killed by people.A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed in a safe environment. In addition,as numbers of some wild species drop,there is an increased danger of populations becoming too genetically(基因上)similar. Breeding programs provide a safeguard:zoo bred animals can be put into the wild to increase genetic diversity.However,those people who are against zoos say that many zoo bred animals are not put back intothe wild. A lot of animals are sold not only to other zoos but also to circuses in the US or wild parks inSouth Africa,where some people are willing to pay a lot of money for the chance to kill a helpless animal. Often,these animals are familiar with humans and have very little chance of escaping.So,are zoos good for animals or not?Perhaps it all depends on how well zoos are managed,and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However,it is understandable thatmany people believe enclosing animals for any reason is simply wrong.27. According to Paragraph 2,some sea animals may die earlier than their wild relatives because . A. they were born in the ocean park B. they don't have enough living spaceC. they are forced to behave unnaturallyD. they suffer from family separation28. What is the main purpose of international breeding program?A. To increase genetic diversity.B. To protect mistreated animals.C. To free enclosed animals.D. To do research on animal behavior.29. What,s the author,s opinion of zoos?A. He doubts the value of zoos.B. He is a true supporter of all kinds of zoos.C. He is against the idea of having zoos aroundD. He sees the importance of the zoo management.DThe Rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI;人工智能)discusses AI technology and how it might affect humans in the future,but the future is already here. In 2011,America's Favorite Quiz Show held a competition between two men and an IBM computer named “Watson”. IBM describes Watson as “a technology that understands all forms of data and also reasons and learns.”Both men thought they could beat Watson. Instead,the computer and its Artificial Intelligence soundly bested both ofthe human beings.ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MADE SIMPLEArtificial Intelligence generally refers to machines with human like intelligence,such as problem solving and learning. In order to be considered AI,the computer must pass the Turing test,named after Alan Turing,a British mathematician who worked with the first computers.In the 1950s,Turing published a paper questioning whether a computer could be used to trick humans into believing they were interacting(互动)with an actual human being. He found that if 30% of humans who interacted with a “machine”believed they were actually interacting with a human being,then the computer could be considered as AI.A simple example of AI is Apple,s Siri. Ask Siri to do anything,from calling a friend to booking a dinner table,and Siri can do it. Siri seems almost human. When you ask,“Are you a real person?”Siri answers,“That is a really personal question.”But,just because a system can behave like humans does not mean it can think like humans.Or,does it?JOINING OF HUMAN & MACHINEIt seems that our devices(设备)will turn into humans. Our phones already tell us to take an umbrella before we walk out the door. They volunteer traffic conditions so we know how long it willtake to drive to work.Our devices can interact with us in a way that looks like a real conversation with another humanbeing,like with Siri. It does not seem crazy at all to think that AI may be programmed to actually think. If it has not already happened,it likely will happen in the near future.Have we come to the time when computers and AI have caught up to human beings?Although computers have the ability to make our life better,is it possible that they may control and destroy human beings in the end?WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSIt seems pretty clear that in the future,we're going to see a human machine hybrid. Humans will be stronger,live longer and be smarter. Ray Kurzweil,a computer scientist,believes that within50 years,the humans on Earth will be about 50 to 80% robotic. There is no question that AI will bea part of every technology that humans create. Will it turn out to be more of a benefit to humankind or will it be a risk and threaten(威胁到)humanity as we know it?If AI is programmed according toIsaac Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics,humans won,t have a problem with machines;but for some,evil AI still stands in the way of a peaceful and safe life on earth.30. The story of computer Watson is mentioned here to tell us that .A. the age of machines has comeB. humans make their own enemiesC. AI has actually come into our lifeD. humans are playing a dangerous game31. From the passage we can learn that .A. Turing test was designed to examine the first computersB. machines interacting with humans can be called AIC. Siri can volunteer to book a dinner tableD. AI will help humans to be stronger and smarter32. What does the underlined expression “a human machine hybrid”probably mean?A. a machine with a human lookB. a human created by machinesC. a body part robotic part humanD. a robot that can behave like humans33. The passage is mainly about .A. the history and future of AIB. the advantages and disadvantages of AIC. the examples of AID. the competition between humans and AI四､阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题｡(共10 分,每小题2 分)Albino PowerI was born an albino(白化病患者)in Scranton,Pennsylvania,in 1945. No one in my familyhad ever known what an albino was,what it meant to be an albino,what had to be done differently because I was an albino.My parents and friends treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about thebest thing they could have done. It gave me a leg up on trusting myself,so when troubles came along,I could deal with them.True,my schoolbook photo always looked like a snowball with two pieces of coal for eyes. Like most albinos,I had terrible eyesight,but the fact that I could hardly see didn,t worry me all thatmuch.Kids laughed at me,calling me “Whitey”. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to rea D. Even when I was eight or nine,movie theater workers started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older”.The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad,I couldn,t play sports very well.I didn,t give up trying,though. I practiced playing basketball every day. And I studied harder.Finally,I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college,I was double majoring(专业),going to summer school and taking part in every kind of after class activity I couldfind. I had learned to be proud of being an albino. I did my best to make “albino”a positive word.And I decided to make my living with my eyes -and in sports.I couldn't see well enough to play sports,but with a good and long lasting education and thedrive to do it,I could make a living involved in the area I loved. I,ve done it now for more than thirty years in print and in video,and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how I,m the only“blind editor(编辑)”they know,but the jokes are friendly smiles now,and some of them are signsof respect. And I make jokes about being an albino. I have even developed an all white routine,if you could call it that.I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that being born an albino helped me to get over difficulties,become confident,and be proud of my personal achievement.34. How did the writer's parents and friends treat him?35. Why couldn,t the writer play sports very well?36. What was the writer doing by the time he got to college?37. What does the writer think of the “blind editor”jokes now?38.

Two big ones and a little one which I keep on me 2 , just in case. Believe me what I tell you is all true.The problem is that very often, umbrellas offer no help at all.

A new survey(调查)found that 31﹪of U.S workers don’t always take all of their vacation days. Americans have 12 vacation days on average(平均)each year, but they give back an average of 3 vacation days each year.So why don’t they use up their vacation days? Some say they would rather get money back for their unused days; some busy workers say they just can’t leave their work. Americans have fewer vacation days than workers in any other country surveyed.The French take their vacations seriously. French workers get an average of 39 vacation days, and 40﹪plan to take at least one there-to-four-week vacation.Workers in Sweden receive an average of 25 vacation days a year, but they can’t find time to use them all. More workers there return vacation days than any other country surveyed.British workers have the longest working week in Europe(欧洲),with 23 vacation days --the shortest vacation. So they feel overworked.75﹪say their weekends or vacations are too short and 40﹪wouldsacrifice a day’s pay(工资)for one more vacation day.1．____________ U.S workers don’t always take all of their vacation days.A．All B．Most C．Some D．Few2．How many vacation days do Americans have on average each year in fact?A．9 B．12 C．15 D．233．Which country has the most workers working during the vacation days?A．America.

I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry．It seemed that Katie had been spending money in the lunchroom. Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They wondered why but failed．So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.The next day, I asked Katie to my office. “Why are you buying lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch?” I asked. “I lose it,” she replied. “I don't believe you, Katie. Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie?” I asked. “No. I just lose it,” she said．Well, there was nothing else I could do．The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table. He always looked sad and scared. I thought I would go and sit with him for a while. As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said “Katie”.Now I understood and I talked to Katie. It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn’t go to the lunch line for a free lunch. He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school. Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed. I had never seen parents so proud of their child.Katie still buys lunch every day at school.

You can catch them on your tongue (舌头) or use them to make a perfect snowball. But have you ever thought about taking pictures of them? Ken Libbrecht did. He is a physics professor from California. Although the weather in California is usually warm and sunny, Ken’s hobby is taking pictures of snowflakes. He travels to cold areas like Alaska and Canada to find snowstorms and take pictures of the snowflakes. “They are often beautiful, and every snowfall brings new surprises,” says Ken.Ken takes pictures of snowflakes with a high-quality digital camera. He uses a microscope (显微镜) to make the tiny snowflakes larger. To get the best images, Ken built a special photo-microscope just for snowflakes. He collects flakes by letting them fall onto a piece of foam board (泡沫板).The pictures must be taken outdoors, so Ken wears lots of clothes to stay warm. But his fingers often get cold, because it’s difficult for him to take pictures of a tiny snowflake with gloves.Each snowflake has shapes and patterns (图案) that make it as unique (独特的) as a p erson’s fingerprint. The hobby of snowflake photography is also unique. Next time a snowstorm blows through your town, take a closer look at the flakes before you gather them into a snowball. See if you can notice their unique patterns. Millions of snowflakes are waiting for you!根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

"Forget about it," he said. "It will all be soup soon,anyway!" After a long,hot walk,Nura and her dad arrived home to find some of their neighbors outside their flats.Everyone shared ice water,talking and laughing together about the heat."I can't stand it in my room," Mrs.Fong said,fanning herself with a newspaper.Another neighbor nodded.Nura recognized him as the man who lived in the flat above hers.A woman who lived downstairs was standing in the doorway. "If the power doesn't come on soon,I'll have to throw all the food away." she said."I have some meat in the fridge,too," said Nura's dad. "It would be nice to use the grill （烧烤架）to cook before it goes bad.""I'll see what I have," the woman in the doorway said. "I'll make sure to bring enough for everyone."That evening,Nura learned that the man from upstairs was named Sergey.The downstairs woman was Rachel.As they finished their dinner,night fell over the city.For the first time in Nura's life,their streetbecame completely dark.Stars blinked overhead.She'd never seen such a sight.The night air was thick and hot,but Nura didn't mind anymore.She had enjoyed free ice cream,and she had shared a dinner with her neighbors.She smiled to herself and continued to watch the stars.24.Nura and her dad had to leave the city museum because ______ .A. Nura fell down and got hurtB. it was too hot inside the museumC. there was a power cut across the cityD. their neighbors were waiting for them25.What did Nura and her neighbors do that evening？______A. They shared a dinner together.B. They went to the city museum.C. They ate their favorite ice cream.D. They read newspapers together.26.How did Nura probably feel at that night？______A. Sad and lonely.B. Warm and pleased.C. Nervous and surprised.D. Bored and disappointed.CAre you tired of making so many decisions every day？People may be faced with up to 35，000 choices and a huge number of options （可选择的事物）per day.When tired of decision making,people may depend on fate （命运）—roll a dice or simply flip a coin.Shall we make choices at random （随机）？I came to think about the benefits of random decision making when watching a TV show last night.Its main character Sheldon used the dice to randomly order food and drinks in a restaurant.He did this to free up his mind to consider some more important problems.However,his friends question the method's success.Indeed,this random restaurant order including a large drink was too much for him.Sheldon finally realized that the random result could be improved by reducing options to leave out large drinks.This example suggests that random decision making may not always work well and it's necessary to reduce the options before rolling a dice in some situations.In some unimportant decision situations,randomisers make it easier to decide.But how do dice work in more important decision situations？It's hard to accept the idea of completely depending on a dice.However,this doesn't mean that dice or coins can't be of any help at all.Let me borrow another example from Sheldon.He couldn't make up his mind when choosing a new TV set from two.His friend Amy asked him to flip a coin.Rather than blindly following the result,however,she suggested checking his emotional reaction.Did he experience happiness or disappointment when faced with the coin's result？Sheldon's reaction could be useful to find out which one he truly preferred.Recently,scientists studied this decision method and found that flipping a coin led people to imagine the two different results more clearly,which resulted in a stronger emotional reaction,and then they recognised hidden preferences and made decisions more easily.A related study further proved that randomisers simplify the choice process.When using dice,people were less likely to look for additional but unnecessary information about the different options.This helped to speed up their choices.Taken together,recent research shows surprising benefits of flipping coins and rolling dice as long as people don't let the results control their ing them but keeping the freedom to be different from the results can speed up the decision process and help solve decision problems.27.The first example of Sheldon shows that random decision making ______ .A. is always effectiveB. helps make a good orderC. may work better with fewer optionsD. can offer more solutions to important problems28.The writer probably agrees that ______ .A. people should not roll dice or flip coins in important situationsB. people will make better choices when experiencing happinessC. dice can speed up decision process with unnecessary informationD. reaction to the result of the randomiser may show one's true preference29.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？______A. Follow Your Heart or Your Head？B. Should You Let the Dice Decide？C. Listen to Friends,or Roll a Dice ？D. How Do You Make a Wise Decision？DMost of us feel younger or older than we really are.This "subjective age" is simply based on the way we feel inside.The number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact,but everyday experiences suggest that we often don't experience ageing the same way.Scientists find that "subjective age" is the key to understanding why some people appear to be energetic as they age—while others do not.What's more,various studies have shown that your subjective age can predict important health outcomes.In some real ways,you really are only as old as you feel.One interesting study has discovered the way our subjective age interacts with our personality.It is now well-accepted that people tend to become less open to new experiences while ageing.However,such personality changes are less pronounced in people with a younger heart and more noticeable in people with older subjective age.Moreover,people with younger subjective ages become more careful—good changes that come with normal ageing,thus making fewer mistakes.On the other hand,some studies suggest that feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age results in an 18-25% greater risk of death and disease,while feeling younger means better physical health and less of a chance of being hospitalized.But the connection between health and subjective age almost certainly acts in both directions.If you feel upset and physically weak,you are likely to feel older.The result could be a vicious cycle （恶性循环）.In this way,the effect of subjective age on health is comparable or stronger than that of actual age.With these in mind,many scientists are trying to discover reasons that may shape this process.When do we start to feel that our minds and bodies are operating on different timescales？And why does it happen？One study found that most children and teenagers feel older than they really are.But this changes at around 26，when 70% would prefer to be younger.Some researchers argue that a lower subjective age is a form of self-defense,protecting us from negative age stereotypes （消极的年龄刻板印象）in different areas of life,such as work and health.Believing "I may be 65 but I only feel 50" would mean you are less worried about your performance at work,for example.This thinking helps people distance themselves from the society's sad view of ageing and gives us a hopeful view of the future.With these findings,it is possible that in the future,science might be able to reduce people's subjective age and improve their health as a result.In the meantime,these findings can give us aclearer view of the way our own brains and bodies weather the passing of time.No matter how old you really are,it's worth questioning whether any of those limitations are coming from within.30.According to the passage,subjective age ______ .A. will not easily change when you get olderB. is simply based on how others think of youC. refers to the number of years you have livedD. results from your personal experience of ageing31.What does the underlined word "pronounced" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？______A. Obvious.B. Important.C. Beneficial.D. Limited.32.What can we learn from the passage？______A. People with higher subjective age are healthier.B. More people will have higher subjective age after 26.C. Actual age has a stronger effect on people's health condition.D. A lower subjective age may free us from the society's sad view of ageing.33.The writer believes that ______ .A. the age we feel is important to usB. subjective age is too good to be trueC. future science will prevent us from getting oldD. there are many unknown areas hidden in our brains四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）34.One of the problems harming our planet is the number of things we throw away.Rubbishof all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans.A more recentaddition to the list of things we throw away is e-waste—electronic items （物品）that are broken and not recycled.Now solutions are being found to give this waste a new life.Many millions of tons of televisions,phones,and other electronic products are thrown away each year,partly because it's cheaper to replace them than to fix them,but alsobecause we don't have enough skills to repair them.A UN report says 50 million tons of e-waste is produced every year,and it will be more than double to 110 million tons by 2050.That makes it the fastest growing waste in the world.However,repair events and clubs are getting popular nowadays.That could be part of a solution to the increasingly terrible e-waste problem.The BBC visited a Restart Project inLondon,which is one of many found around the world.One of its volunteers,Francesco Calo,said that "the purpose of the project is to reduce waste,and help people who cannot afford to repair them."As there are many valuable metals （金属）in electrical items,another idea is e-waste mining （矿）.An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves taking these materials from electronic products.It's thought that doing this could be more likely tomake money than traditional mining.With phones typically having as many as 60elements （成分），this could be part of the solution to our desire for new technology.These projects make total sense—collections of e-waste for recycling are "decreasing"according to Ruediger Kuehr,of the United Nations University.And in countries with no related law,much of it just gets thrown away.However,if the government decides to be involved,there will be some effective methods to deal with e-waste.Take the European Union as an example.It is now trying to solve the problem by insisting companies have to make products longer-lasting and will have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.What is e-waste？______How much e-waste is produced every year according to a UN report？______What's the purpose of the Restart Project in London？______What can people take from electronic products by e-waste mining？______What's the passage mainly about？______五、书面表达（本大题共2小题，共25.0分）35.题目①假如你是李华，你们学校的健身俱乐部要举办一场健身经验分享活动，你打算邀请你们班交换生Peter 参加。

I was so excited to see all the different runners, they passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe 1 could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had a little running practice. I just wanted to finish.On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 kilometres , 1 was thinking, “Why did I do this?’ And at one moment ,I said to myself，“I am never doing this again!”That first 10km race was quite an experience. I ran slowly, I walked, I ran slowly and walked. At times，I didn’t know if I could finish.Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little shamed that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn't even keep up with him. But then 1 realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ourselves with others when we really shouldn't? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-old men who were still running.As I crossed the finishing line, I was proud of myself. I didn't regret having such an experience.1．What did the writer do at a local race as a volunteer?A．He helped the old runners. B．He cheered up the runners.C．He passed out water to the runners. D．He took back the cups from the runners.2．Why did the writer join the race?A．He was advised by a trainer. B．He was crazy about the race.C．He just wanted to experience. D．He was believed to win a prize.3．When did a 70-year-old runner run past the writer?A．When he ran for 5 kilometres. B．Near the end of the race.C．When he ran for about 15 kilometres D．At the first of the race.4．What did the writer do in the end?A．He encouraged himself. B．He felt a little sad.C．He cried for his mistake. D．He hated the 70-year-old runner.5．What is the best title of the passage?A．To be No. 1 B．Let’s compareC．A volunteer job D．Running your own raceB14、Over the years, fried chips have become known worldwide and been enjoyed by adults and children in almost all countries. But do you know the world's First Potato Fry Museum was opened in November, 2013 in Belgium? For the fans of fried chips (French fries), they have a museum of their own!The world's first museum of chips, was set up by Eddy Van Belle and his son in Belgium. The museum calls itself "the first and only museum for potato fries".Eddy and his son are always proud of their favorite food. Eddy said, "Over the years, fries have become popular throughout the world. We are so proud that they originated from Belgium.""So it is normal and necessary that the first fried chips museum is opened in Belgium," Eddy added.The museum is in an ancient building with two floors. The museum shows a lot of exhibits, including ancient potato cutters, chip-making machines, and the pictures about the history of potatoes. You can see different potatoes and chips. You can also learn to make chips. It's a great place to learn about the history of fries and enjoy eating them, too! Do you know the biggest fun in the museum?

That’s a good question. The music is certainly very catchy. You can often recognize a Britpop song as soon as you hear it. Some of the biggest Britpop bands include Oasis, Blur, Suede and Pulp. However, bands like Oasis that are considered Britpop have more of a rock style (风格).So how do we recognize the difference between Britpop and regular rock or pop? Well, Britpop mixes a number of different pop and rock styles with interesting lyrics and attitude. But it’s not just about the music. Britpop is also about fashion, art and politics (政治).If you watch their music videos, you’ll see how fashionable Britpop singers are. Some of them hire famous artists to help them make more creative videos. English artist Damien Hurst, for example, produced some of Blur’s music videos.As for politics, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has talked about how much he enjoys Britpop. Perhaps he was just trying to sound cool to win more votes (投票) from young people.Britpop came and went in the 1990s. Britpop bands had some big hits at the time. Pulp’s most famous song is Common People. Blur’s Country House is about a wealthy man who lives a boring life in a big house in the countryside. Blur and Oasis were probably the most popular bands.However, just like many fashion and art trends (潮流), Britpop didn’t stick around for long.

They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event that a number of the most famous modeling agenies(中介) from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune(名利) clouded my judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and at last they agreed.I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For .months, any boredom or disappointment that I faced disappeared because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would appear in the covers of famous magazines!Of course, I wasn't signed, but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5'9' (about 1.75 meters) I could be a success. I sprayed for a growth spurt(冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I met with a local modeling agency and the agent required $500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot(拍摄), and $300 for other fees. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.The agency sent me out on a few auditions but with every day I did not receive a call, I grew more disappointed. The final chance came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call(公开挑it) in New York City. We spent hours driving and spent another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short, I could hardly stand it.Years later, I realize that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actually love modeling, just the idea of it.1 wanted to be special and I naively(天真地)decided to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.1．The author wanted to be a model, because_______.A．she won a national contestB．she wanted to be famous and richC．she was urged by some modeling agenciesD．she had full potential to be a successful model2．The author's parents' attitude toward her dream is_______.A．encouraging B．doubtful C．worried D．excited3．The author finally stopped dreaming to become a model mainly because_______.A．her parents were strongly against itB．she realized that it was impossible for her.C．even a local modeling agency turned her downD．she realized that she didn't actually love the idea of modeling4．From her experience of struggling to be a model, the author learned thatA．where there is a will there is a wayB．being a model is not so easyC．we should have our own judgment and should not just follow othersD．we might set unpractical goals but the experiences can help us grow.Ⅴ.书面表达19、书面表达：中美中学生交流项目安排一批美国中学生来华一周体验中国文化，在网上挑选适合住宿的家庭。

" shouted mom and dad from the next room．They came into the kitchen and saw Marty was looking around for a gift．"I guess you think we forgot to get you a gift ，" said mom．Marty looked confused．"Well，you usually put my giftin the kitchen，" Marty said．Dad told Marty to follow him outside the house in the yard．"This is fantastic!" shouted Marty．"I don't take many pictures，and I probably wouldn't use the basketball much，and my bike is okay for now．But I will use the telescope! Thanks so much．" "You're welcome，" said mom anddad．All that night，Marty saw many beautiful stars and even the planet Mars．Marty would remember his tenth birthday for the rest of his life !24.What did Marty hope to get as a birthday gift most？______A. A bicycle．B. A camera．C. A basketball．D. A telescope．25.Where did Marty find his birthday gift？______A. In the car．B. In the kitchen．C. In the yard．D. In the attic．26.Marty would always remember his tenth birthday because ______ ．A. he discovered his interestB. he got what he wanted mostC. he realized he had grown upD. he found his birthday gift by himselfCHomeless people face a lot of challenges，such as not havingenough to eat and no job opportunities．Some of the most basicchallenges，however，are not having clean water and toiletries（卫生用品）-a big problem for homeless teens．Thatencouraged a young researcher to invent a multi-purposeproduct to help these teens．"I was born into a life of volunteering，" said 13- year-old LeiaGluckman．And that's true．Her mom is a president of anorganization providing help for homeless teens．Leia and her brother have volunteered there for years．When she was a young girl，Leia helped serve food where teens were eating．Now she's a teenager herself，and she's managing the toiletry and clothing work there．From her work at the center，Leia noticed that teens asked for some toiletries more than others．What they needed most often were toothpaste，body powder （粉）and shampoo （洗发水）．Leia wondered whether she could create a product to serve all three purposes．It would need to take away dirt and oil from skin and hair．It would need to clean teeth．Also，it would need to kill bacteria （病菌）without being harmful to people．She wanted her ingredients （产品成分）to be natural，to be able to break down easily and to taste and smell pleasant．Moreover，this product had to be low-cost and have a long shelf life．Leia started by going to stores and looking at the ingredient lists for toiletries．Then she tried eight different ways．She tested each way to see how well it worked．Not all of them worked well．But she finally decided on three．Each includes salt and baking powder．Salt helps clean teeth and skin；baking powder helps take in bad smells．She also has some other recipes which include some special materials that give her products different tastes and smells，which would let teens choose a product based on personal preferences．It wasn't easy，but Leia came up with some model products．She presented them at the finals of Broadcom MASTERS science competition．Leia wants to develop her products further．" Could it possibly be used to drive away mosquitoes （蚊子）？" she wonders．" Science offers a way to go about solving problems and helping people，" says Leia．And she thinks her products could benefit a great number of people，not just the homeless．Anyone in an area with little or no chance to get clean water could find her products useful，maybe refugees （难民）and soldiers who are sent to places without running water．27.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2？______A. Leia has lived a life of volunteering for years．B. Leia and her brother helped their mom for years．C. Leia was born in a great family of volunteering．D. Leia's mom set up an organization for homeless teens．28.Leia's products meet homeless people's needs mostly because ______ ．A. they are cheap and naturalB. they can offer personal choicesC. they are used to drive away mosquitoesD. they can serve three purposes with little water29.According to the passage，we know that ______ ．A. Leia invented the product in order to win the MASTERS competitionB. Leia's invention came from her will to create and to help othersC. The family influence played a decisive role in Leia's inventionD. Leia believed that science could help solve problems easilyDVirtual （虚拟的）reality is a way to create a computer-made environment that brings the user into a virtual world．If you ever have put on a VR headset，you would know exactly what I am talking about．From an experiential view we do understand the idea，but what about the technical backend that goes into making it all possible？In this blog，we will understand the technology behind virtual reality and the basic terms about the development of a virtual ecosystem for a VR headset．The primary subject of virtual reality is simulating （模拟）the vision．Every headset is to perfect their method to create an immersive （浸人式）3D environment．Each VR headset puts up a screen or two in front of eyes，keeping the user away from any interaction with the real world．Two autofocus lenses （自动对焦镜片）are generally placed between the screen and the eyes that change based on eye movement and positioning．The vision appears on the screen either by using a mobile phone or HDMI line connected to a PC．To create a truly immersive virtual reality，there are certain requirements - a frame rate （帧率）of at least 60 fps，a refresh rate and at least 100-degree field of view （though 180 degrees is perfect）．If either of these doesn't work according to the standards，the user will experience too big of a time difference between their actions and the response from the screen．We need the response to be less than 20 ms （1/1000 second）to fool the brain which is achieved by joining all the above in the right proportion （比例）．Another matter that needs to be looked at here is to prevent netsickness because of the differences between the frame rate and refresh rate．Apart from the image，there are certain other things that go into creating an immersive VR experience，holding the user's attention completely in the virtual environment．For example，sound effects，when put with the image，can create very attractive effects．By using a headphone and 3D sound effects，the user can totally believe in the virtual environment．While perfecting sound effects，proper care needs to be taken about the consistency （一致）between the pictures and the sound．If you start playing frightening music in the background of a happy scene，it will just put the user off．In future，we will see rapid progress in creating a truly immersive digital experience．With leading players like Google，Microsoft，Oculus，and HTC making great efforts to improve the capabilities （性能），we are not far from achieving a virtual reality that would feel so much better than the real world．If you would like to develop a VR app for your business，then feelfree to get in touch．With over 10 years of experience in mobile technologies，we can make every dream a reality．30. A VR headset helps the user ______ ．A. create the vision on the screenB. understand the technical backendC. better experience a 3D environmentD. keep interaction with the real world31.The words " put the user off" in Paragraph 4 probably mean " ______ "A. take the user's attention awayB. get the user interestedC. hold the user's imagination backD. help the user understand32.What is the main purpose of writing this passage？______A. To give a short introduction of VR．B. To do business with certain readersC. To predict the bright future of VR．D. To share experiences with readers33.What can we learn from the passage？______A. The lower degree field of view，the better images．B. Sound effects are more important than the image for VR．C. Some big companies may create a VR better than the real world soonD. The brain can tell the time difference when the response is more than 20ms四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）34.阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题．Paperless homework will affect students' handwritingA growing number of primary schools in Shanghai are now encouraging "paperless"homework．Instead of writing with a pen，children can finish their homework simply by "surfing and typing" on their iPad screens．Many people welcome the use of this new technology in schools．And it isn't difficult to understand why digital homework could be the next big thing in education ：it reduces waste；makes it easier for teachers to collect homework；and now that everything else is digitalized，homework should too．But there's an overlooked downside to online homework，as it shows an alarming trend （趋势）：how technology is affecting physical handwriting．In today's digital age，handwriting is already a weakening skill．Can you remember the last time you used a pen？For me，it was when I had to fill out a form at work．To be honest，I couldn't write quite a few characters and had to type them on my iPhone to remind me of how to write them correctly．I know I'm not alone．There are more saying they share similar embarrassment （尴尬）when asked to write by hand．In a time when computers，smart phones and keyboards are widely used in the world，is handwriting even important？The answer is yes．Handwriting plays an important role in the learning process．Writing a character is more difficult than typing．It requires the body and mind work together actively．So for school-age children，writing not only allows them to memorize characters，but also trains their brains the way typing can't．Too many children，lost in technology，lie on a sofa or in bed with their smartphones or iPads - a seldom mentioned side effect of modern technology，which may lead to physical problems later．All said，I'm not saying that digital homework should be canceled．Digitalization is anunstoppable trend．But for courses such as Chinese and English language，I hope to see digital homework introduced later into the courses，at least after children have had the ability to write characters and spell words well．How do children finish their paperless homework？______Why do many people welcome digital homework？______What happened when the writer used a pen to fill out a form at work？______Why is handwriting important for school-age children？______What does the writer think of digital homework？______五、书面表达（本大题共2小题，共30.0分）35.根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作．文中已给出内容不计入总数．所给提示词语仅供选用．请不要写出你的校名和姓名．假如你是李华，你们学校将要举办一场阅读沙龙（Reading

"Forget about it," he said. "It will all be soup soon,anyway!"

"If the power doesn't come on soon,I'll have to throw all the food away." she said."I have some meat in the fridge,too," said Nura's dad. "It would be nice to use the grill （烧烤架）to cook before it goes bad.""I'll see what I have," the woman in the doorway said.

Sad and lonely.B. Warm and pleased.C. Nervous and surprised.D. Bored and disappointed.CAre you tired of making so many decisions every day？People may be faced with up to 35，000 choices and a huge number of options （可选择的事物）per day.When tired of decision making,people may depend on fate （命运）—roll a dice or simply flip a coin.Shall we make choices at random （随机）？I came to think about the benefits of random decision making when watching a TV show last night.Its main character Sheldon used the dice to randomly order food and drinks in a restaurant.He did this to free up his mind to consider some more important problems.However,his friends question the method's success.Indeed,this random restaurant order including a large drink was too much for him.Sheldon finally realized that the random result could be improved by reducing options to leave out large drinks.This example suggests that random decision making may not always work well and it's necessary to reduce the options before rolling a dice in some situations.In some unimportant decision situations,randomisers make it easier to decide.But how do dice work in more important decision situations？It's hard to accept the idea of completely depending on a dice.However,this doesn't mean that dice or coins can't be of any help at all.Let me borrow another example from Sheldon.He couldn't make up his mind when choosing a new TV set from two.His friend Amy asked him to flip a coin.Rather than blindly following the result,however,she suggested checking his emotional reaction.Did he experience happiness or disappointment when faced with the coin's result？Sheldon's reaction could be useful to find out which one he truly preferred.Recently,scientists studied this decision method and found that flipping a coin led people to imagine the two different results more clearly,which resulted in a stronger emotional reaction,and then they recognised hidden preferences and made decisions more easily.A related study further proved that randomisers simplify the choice process.When using dice,people were less likely to look for additional but unnecessary information about the different options.This helped to speed up their choices.Taken together,recent research shows surprising benefits of flipping coins and rolling dice as long as people don't let the results control their ing them but keeping the freedom to be different from the results can speed up the decision process and help solve decision problems.27.The first example of Sheldon shows that random decision making ______ .A. is always effectiveB. helps make a good orderC. may work better with fewer optionsD. can offer more solutions to important problems28.The writer probably agrees that ______ .A. people should not roll dice or flip coins in important situationsB. people will make better choices when experiencing happinessC. dice can speed up decision process with unnecessary informationD. reaction to the result of the randomiser may show one's true preference29.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？______A. Follow Your Heart or Your Head？B. Should You Let the Dice Decide？C. Listen to Friends,or Roll a Dice ？D. How Do You Make a Wise Decision？DMost of us feel younger or older than we really are.This "subjective age" is simply based on the way we feel inside.The number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact,but everyday experiences suggest that we often don't experience ageing the same way.Scientists find that "subjective age" is the key to understanding why some people appear to be energetic as they age—while others do not.What's more,various studies have shown that your subjective age can predict important health outcomes.In some real ways,you really are only as old as you feel.One interesting study has discovered the way our subjective age interacts with our personality.It is now well-accepted that people tend to become less open to new experiences while ageing.However,such personality changes are less pronounced in people with a younger heart and more noticeable in people with older subjective age.Moreover,people with younger subjective ages become more careful—good changes that come with normal ageing,thus making fewer mistakes.On the other hand,some studies suggest that feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age results in an 18-25% greater risk of death and disease,while feeling younger means better physical health and less of a chance of being hospitalized.But the connection between health and subjective age almost certainly acts in both directions.If you feel upset and physically weak,you are likely to feel older.The result could be a vicious cycle （恶性循环）.In this way,the effect of subjective age on health is comparable or stronger than that of actual age.With these in mind,many scientists are trying to discover reasons that may shape this process.When do we start to feel that our minds and bodies are operating on different timescales？And why does it happen？One study found that most children and teenagers feel older than they really are.But this changes at around 26，when 70% would prefer to be younger.Some researchers argue that a lower subjective age is a form of self-defense,protecting us from negative age stereotypes （消极的年龄刻板印象）in different areas of life,such as work and health.Believing "I may be 65 but I only feel 50" would mean you are less worried about your performance at work,for example.This thinking helps people distance themselves from the society's sad view of ageing and gives us a hopeful view of the future.With these findings,it is possible that in the future,science might be able to reduce people's subjective age and improve their health as a result.In the meantime,these findings can give us aclearer view of the way our own brains and bodies weather the passing of time.No matter how old you really are,it's worth questioning whether any of those limitations are coming from within.30.According to the passage,subjective age ______ .A. will not easily change when you get olderB. is simply based on how others think of youC. refers to the number of years you have livedD. results from your personal experience of ageing31.What does the underlined word "pronounced" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？______A. Obvious.B. Important.C. Beneficial.D. Limited.32.What can we learn from the passage？______A. People with higher subjective age are healthier.B. More people will have higher subjective age after 26.C. Actual age has a stronger effect on people's health condition.D. A lower subjective age may free us from the society's sad view of ageing.33.The writer believes that ______ .A. the age we feel is important to usB. subjective age is too good to be trueC. future science will prevent us from getting oldD. there are many unknown areas hidden in our brains四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）34.One of the problems harming our planet is the number of things we throw away.Rubbishof all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans.A more recentaddition to the list of things we throw away is e-waste—electronic items （物品）that are broken and not recycled.Now solutions are being found to give this waste a new life.Many millions of tons of televisions,phones,and other electronic products are thrown away each year,partly because it's cheaper to replace them than to fix them,but alsobecause we don't have enough skills to repair them.A UN report says 50 million tons of e-waste is produced every year,and it will be more than double to 110 million tons by 2050.That makes it the fastest growing waste in the world.However,repair events and clubs are getting popular nowadays.That could be part of a solution to the increasingly terrible e-waste problem.The BBC visited a Restart Project inLondon,which is one of many found around the world.One of its volunteers,Francesco Calo,said that "the purpose of the project is to reduce waste,and help people who cannot afford to repair them."As there are many valuable metals （金属）in electrical items,another idea is e-waste mining （矿）.An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves taking these materials from electronic products.It's thought that doing this could be more likely tomake money than traditional mining.With phones typically having as many as 60elements （成分），this could be part of the solution to our desire for new technology.These projects make total sense—collections of e-waste for recycling are "decreasing"according to Ruediger Kuehr,of the United Nations University.And in countries with no related law,much of it just gets thrown away.However,if the government decides to be involved,there will be some effective methods to deal with e-waste.Take the European Union as an example.It is now trying to solve the problem by insisting companies have to make products longer-lasting and will have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.What is e-waste？______How much e-waste is produced every year according to a UN report？______What's the purpose of the Restart Project in London？______What can people take from electronic products by e-waste mining？______What's the passage mainly about？______五、书面表达（本大题共2小题，共25.0分）35.题目①假如你是李华，你们学校的健身俱乐部要举办一场健身经验分享活动，你打算邀请你们班交换生Peter 参加。
