（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）AMonday, Oct. 23, marks the beginning of Shuangjiang or “Frost’s Descent”, the 18th of the 24 solar terms in the Chinese lunar calendar. It usually falls around October 23 and ends around November 7, making it the last term of autumn and signifying the last two weeks of the season.An end and a new beginningBy the time of Shuangjiang, most of the harvesting work is already completed in northern China. Even the most cold-resistant (耐寒的)crops can no longer grow. Farmers are now able to enjoy a period of rest.But in the south, the harvest is still in its best time, as farmers have to take home the sweet potatoes before they are destroyed by the coming frost.Across the country, after a year of farming, now it is time to plow the fields and prepare the soil for next year. Enjoy the flaming red maple leaves(枫叶)Autumn might be the most colorful season in China with the leaves turning from golden yellow to red. Activities like hiking become popular as people appreciate the bright red leaves.Nearly all the tourist websites list the best sites for admiring the red maple leaves during this time, and many cities start to offer official routes for the most picturesque views of the leaves.Appreciating in the view is an old tradition starting in ancient times. Du Mu, a well-known poet from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) depicted the mountainous scenery in a poem: “I stopped the coach as charmed by the maple woods; Frosted autumn leaves outshine February flowers in redness.”Best time to adjust to a nourishing lifestyleIt is said that Shuangjiang is the best time to adjust to a nourishing(营养的) life, which reflects the belief that this is an important time to focus on health. “Keeping warm” becomes a top priority(优先考虑).Persimmon is the favored fruit in many areas. Chinese believe that permission could not only keep off the coldness, but also strengthen the muscles and bones. Other fruits, include apples and bananas are believed to help supply the necessary nutrition for the human body.51. According to the passage, Shuangjiang means ____________.A. the beginning of winterB. the ending of the harvestC. the last 15 days of autumnD. the beginning of the harvest52. The writer uses the poem to show that ___________.A. poets take more interest in autumnB. admiring the autumn view is a Chinese customC. various routes are provided for us to enjoy the viewD. February flowers outshine frosted autumn leaves in redness53. ________ is considered the most important thing around Shuangjiang.A. Keeping warmB. Doing more exerciseC. Balancing dietD. Getting enough sleep54. The purpose of the passage is to _____________.A. explain the importance of the 24 solar termsB. show different activities during harvest timeC. help readers understand the charm of autumnD. introduce Shuangjiang and its influence on usBOn a hot evening in September 2016, the Eagles was threatening to win its first game of the season. “I was really excited,” said one team member Peter. “This was the game we’d been looking forward to as we were going to play against the best opponent(对手)Lions.”With only seconds left in the fourth quarter and the Lions up 29-28, all the Eagles were quite nervous and they decided to go one yard for a touchdown(触地得分)to grab a dramatic come-from-behind victory. However, they gave the game away.Just after the Eagles quarterback(四分卫)David had connected with the receiver Mike at the three-yard line, a Lions defender suddenly delivered a fierce hit, knocking them both to the ground.“There was a huge force, as if a truck had hit me,” said Mike, who suffered great pain from the hit. But it was the Lions’ player who got the worst of it. He lay on the ground and couldn’t move a bit. The trainers and coaches ran to his side. Five minutes later, he still couldn’t move. Game officials said that the poor teen had lost all feelings on his left side and an ambulance had been called. “I was really scared at that time,” said Mike.The doctors then arrived, and soon after, a call to a medical transport helicopter was made. That’s when the Lions’ coach walked across the filed and told the Eagles’ coach Jay that his players were too upset to continue the game and they would give up. Jay then gathered his team members and told them it was time to support their opponent. “It was the right thing to do,” said Jay. “In life, the well-being of others is what’s important, not the scoreboard.” All the Eagles agreed.After the injured player was sent to a hospital, the two teams took the fieldagain. With the end zone and the Eagles’ first victory extremely close, theteam’s center snapped the ball(开球), the quarterback and his teammates took aknee, and the game clock hit zero. Game over.The injured player now is out of the hospital and recovering, which is a reliefto the Eagles, who have never regretted their decision. “What my players didwas amazing,” said Jay. “I was surprised and encouraged that they were thinkingnot about themselves but about others.”55. Why would the Lions want to give up?A. They were losing the gameB. They thought the game was unfairC. Some of their players went to hospitalD. They were worried about the injured player56. How would Jay probably feel in the end?A. UpsetB. ProudC. RegretfulD. Excited57. This text is probably taken from _______________.A. a research paperB. a movie reviewC. a newspaper reportD. a guide bookCWe are first asked the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” when we’re about five years old. The truth is that no one really cares what you say when you’re that age. However, this question gets asked again and again as we get older. While this question inspires kids to dream about what they could be, it does not inspire them to dream about all that they could be. In fact, it does just the opposite, because when someone asks you what you want to be, you can’t reply with 20 different things, though well-meaning adults will likely chuckle and be like, “Oh, how cute, but you can’t be a violin maker and a psychologist. You have to choose.”But what if you’re someone who isn’t wired this way? What if there are a lot of different subjects that you’re curious about, and many different things you want to do? If so, what you are is a multipotentialite.A multipotentialite is someone with many interests and creative pursuits(追求). It might help if you break it up into three parts: multi, potential, and ite. It’s easy to see your multipotentialite as a limitation that you need to overcome, but there are some great advantages to being this way.The first is idea synthesis(综合性); that is, combining two or more fields and creating something new at the intersection. Innovation happens at the intersections. That’s where the new ideas come from.The second strength is rapid learning. When multipotentialites become interested in something they go hard. They observe everything they can get their hands on. They’re also used to being beginners, because they’ve been beginners so many times in the past years. Thus they’re less afraid of trying new things and stepping out of the comfort zones.The third is adaptability; that is, the ability to move into whatever you need to be in a given situation. Abe Cajudo is sometimes a video director, sometimes a web designer, sometimes a Kickstarter consultant, and sometimes, apparently, James Bond. He is valuable because he does good work. He’s even more valuable because he can play various roles, depending on his clients’ needs. Fast Company magazine identified adaptability as the single most important skill to develop in order to thrive in the 21st century.Multipotentialites are very good at these three skills, and they might lose the skills if pressured to narrow their focus. As a society, we have benefited from encouraging multipotentialites to be themselves.In fact, some of the best teams include a specialist and multipotentialite paired together. The specialist can dive in deep and carry out ideas, while the mumltipotentialite brings a wide range of knowledge to the project. So embrace your inner wiring. If you’re a specialist at heart, then by all means, specialize. But to the multipotentialite, follow your curiosity down those rabbit holes and explore your intersections.58. It can be learned from the first paragraph that _____________.A. adults don’t remember their dreamsB. adults don’t understand children’s dreamsC. children should have big dreams at early ageD. children should be curious about many subjects59. According to the passage, a multipotentialite is likely to _______.A. take challengesB. narrow his focusC. dive in deep ideasD. stay in comfort zones60. Abe Cajudo is mentioned in Paragraph 6 to show ____________.A. what roles he can playB. how successful his career isC. what a muitipotentialite likesD. how adaptable a multipotentialite is61. What is the writer’s attitude towards multipotentialites?A. UnclearB. PositiveC. DoubtfulD. CriticalDWhy should people spend their valuable “free time” reading fiction, the purpose of which, at best, is only entertainment? We recognize that some novels are entertaining, but leave no lasting impression. What makes a novel more than entertainment?Our answer is that we don’t just read great books----they read us as well. The human condition is complex and contradictory(矛盾的), layered like an ice-cream, with flavors blending(混合)among the layers. A great novel reflects that complexity. We may read it several times, as we do with our favorites, and each time it is like finding an old friend and gaining new insights from that friend. We put it down with new understandings of the world around us and, most important, of ourselves.Let’s look at the novel Frankenstein, written in 1818 by Mary Shelley. Frankenstein is a young man who is impatient to seek out the secrets of the universe. He collects body parts, assembles an eight-foot creature, and charges it with life. When the yellow eyes open, however, Frankenstein is shocked. He abandons the creature, which is laughed at and attacked. It becomes angry and ends up as a monster.On one level, Frankenstein is entertaining—a good horror story, though a little dated when compared, for example, to Stephen King’s best sellers like the Dark Tower series. But Shelley writes more than just scary entertainment.On a deeper level, her book forces us to ask whether humans reach too far in playing God. Genetic engineering(基因工程)already enables us to change the food we eat and the very bodies in which we live. At what point are we trying to take over God’s creativity, to gain knowledge that is as forbidden as the fruit of the Garden of Eden? Shelley, of course, knew nothing of genetic engineering. But she did know that the Industrial Revolution was sweeping across England and ambitions for scientific progress were intense in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. She was deeply troubled by what human beings might discover about themselves, and the effects of those discoveries on society.Our reading of great literature can also be enriched by understanding the author’s personal interests and anxieties. Shelley was only eighteen when she wrote Frankenstein. Birth and death are closely linked in her prose and in herexperiences. Her mother had died giving birth to her, and by the time she began writing this great novel, she herselfhad already had two babies out of marriage. One had died within a few weeks. The novel reflects her deep anxieties about giving birth and her fears that birth will bring death.62. According to the passage, reading fictions _____________.A. may make our life simpleB. may bring back long-lost friendsC. can get rid of our contradictory ideasD. can deepen our understanding of ourselves63. The underlined word “assemble” in Paragraph 3 probably means ____________.A. to create something interestingB. to develop something unusualC. to explore the unknown secretsD. to put together the separate parts64. By reading Frankenstein, _____________.A. we may reach the point to play GodB. we may get to eat the forbidden fruitC. we get more than scary entertainmentD. we learn more about genetic engineering65. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Why People Read FictionsB. How Fictions are WrittenC. Fictions and EntertainmentD. Fictions and Wisdom第四部分：书面表达（15分）假如你是红星中学高一（1）班学生李华，你校正在接待美国友好师生。

In her other hand, she holds a paper carrier bag.I know this lady. It is not her first visit. She is the boy’s grandmother, and her daughter bought the house next door last October.Her daughter, Nicole, speaks fluent English. But she is now in Shanghai, and her parents are here with the little boy. Nicole has obviously told her mother that I am having heart surgery soon, so her mother has decided I need more nutrients. (56题)I know what is inside the bag—a thermos with hot soup and a stainless-steel container with rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp, sometimes with a kind of pancake. This has become an almost-daily practice.(57题) Communication between us is somewhat affected by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Chinese is hello. Once, she brought an iPad as well as the food. She pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from her daughter telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right and whether it was too salty. I am not used to iPads, so she indicated I should go with her to her house. Then, she handed the iPad to her husband and almost immediately I found myself looking at Nicole in Shanghai and discussing her mother’s cooking and salt intake. Instantly, tears welled in my eyes.“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time,” I insisted. “I can hardly do dishes in return.”“Oh, no, Lucy.” Nicole said. “Mum doesn’t like western food. Don’t worry about it; she has to cook for the three of them anyway, and she wants to do it.”The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me.I am now working on some more Chinese words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.“Thank you” is, of course, the first one. Somehow, it seems inadequate. (58题)56. The elderly Chinese lady visits Lucy regularly because______.A. Lucy pays her to deliver foodB. Lucy likes cooking Chinese foodC. she cares about Lucy’s state of healthD. she wants to make friends with Lucy57. Nicole’s mum took an iPad to Lucy’s home for_________.A. displayingB. communicatingC. cookingD. chatting58. In this passage Lucy mainly expresses her ______.A. preference for the Chinese foodB. gratitude to the Chinese familyC. love of the advanced technologyD. affection for the Chinese languageBChinese Emoji (表情符号) Circles Globe (62题)“Funny”, a made-in-China emoji, seems to have recently moved beyond China. Now, it is more than an emoji, but a cultural expansion.●Reaching Global MarketsA series of “funny” emoji-based bolsters (抱枕) have attracted the attention of Japanese customers. Even if one bolster is more than three times as expensive as in China, it doesn’t kill their desires to buy it. One Japanese customer Miki said, “They are just so cute and I bought three bolsters at one time for my family. And every time I see them, my mood just brightens suddenly.” (59题)A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said, “I think the emoji implies very complicated meanings. My dad will send it when he doesn’t agree with someone but he has to say something and behave politely.”●Addition to Domestic Social MediaCompared with Japanese impressions of the “funny” emoji, Chinese netizens prefer to use the emoji to tease one another on social media.One commonly seen online comment is, “We strongly suggest stopping the usage of the emoji. Because every time other people send me the emoji, I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool.”Regarded as the most popular emoji, the “funny” emoji has received much attention since its release in 2013. In fact, the “funny” emoji is the updated version of its original one; “funny” has a smiley mouth, two eyebrows and a naughty look. All these characteristics present users a sense of satire (讽刺). (60题)●In Everyday Use AbroadIt’s not the first time the Chinese emoji takes the world stage. Earlier this year, one emoji from the Chinese basketball celebrity Yao Ming has been spread through the Middle East region. In a city in southern Egypt, Yao’s smiling emoji has appeared frequently in local traffic signs to remind people the road ahead is one-way. Many locals do not know Yao Ming but are familiar with his emoji and nickname “Chinese Funny Face”.As a new online language, emojis have become a necessary part of people’s daily life, helping people express their views in a more vivid and precise way. (61题) Also, it can help foreigners learn about Chinese culture. But how to properly use “the fifth innovation in China” without hurtingothers and turn them into commercial advantages still needanswers.59. Why do the bolsters attract Miki’s attention?A. They are inexpensive.B. They helpreach an agreement.C. They help brighten the mood.D. They are helpful to express desire.60. According to the passage, which of the following is the latest “funny” emoji?A. B. C. D.61. Emojis are so popular worldwide mainly because people use them to ______.A. express their views more vividlyB. present their sense of satire directlyC. imply very complicated meanings properlyD. tease one another on social media purposely62. The main purpose of the text is to ______.A. promote the emoji worldwideB. teach us how to use the emojiC. explain the meaning the emojiD. show us the popularity of the emojiCEvery year billions of pounds are spent on hair loss treatment. If we succeed in curing hair loss with 3D printed hair follicles(⽑囊), it will be a huge revolution.L’Oreal, the cosmetics firm is partnering with a French bio-printing company called Poietis, which has developed a form oflaser(激光) printing for cell-based objects. Poietis’ technique begins with the creation of a digital map that determines where living cells and other tissue components should be placed to create the desired biological structure. This involves how the cells are expected to grow over time. The on the digital map is then turned into instructions for the printing equipment, so that it can lay down tiny droplets made out of the cell-based "bio ink" one layer at a time. The printing process involves bouncing a pulsing laser off a mirror and through a lens, so that when it hits a ribbon(⾊带) containing the bio ink, a droplet of the matter falls into place. About 10,000 of these micro-droplets are created every second. (63题)It typically takes about 10 minutes to print a piece of skin 1cm wide by 0.5mm thick. However, since hair follicles are complex and consist of 15 different cells in a structure, they may take longer.Poietis is not the only company working on bio-printing, but most others use another way, which involves pushing a bio-ink through a nozzle(喷嘴), rather than lasers to build their tissue.Poietis suggests its technique puts less stress on the biological matter, meaning there is less risk of causing it damage. (64题)Alopecia UK—a charity that provides support and advice about hair loss—has mixed feelings about the development. “It is encouraging to know that (66题)companies such as L’Oreal are investing in technology that may help those with hair loss in the future,” said spokeswoman Amy Johnson.(66题) “However, we would suggest it’s still very early to be getting excited about what this potentially could mean for those with medical hair loss. At this point it is unclear as to whether this technology could benefit those with all types of hair loss.”(65题)“Also, if this new technology does lead to a treatment option, given the high costs of existing hair transplant procedures, how many people will be able to realistically afford any new technological advances that may become available? (65题) As with any other research and development into processes that may be able to help those with hair loss, we watch with great interest.”63. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. How the printing process is carried out.B. Where the living cells should be placed.C. How long the cells are expected to grow.D. What the printing equipment is made up of.64. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. hair follicleB. biological matterC. nozzleD. bio-ink65. The passage implies that the new technology may ______.A. meet some practical challengesB. help people with hair loss at presentC. offer solutions to all problems of hair lossD. cost a large sum of money to transplant hair66. What is Amy Johnson’s attitude towards the new technology?A. Disapproving.B. Optimistic.C. Cautious.D. Negative.DThere is no doubt eCommerce is growing, and it will continue to grow. However, physical stores would not die as a result of the rise of eCommerce, at least not in the near future. The idea that eCommerce is taking over physical stores has already misguided many people. Physical stores are far from vanishing, and there are some solid reasons for it. (69题)The projections for online spending is optimistic with $150 billion expected to be spent in the coming three years, yet we are also expecting (67题) $300 billion in spending at physical stores in the same duration. Do you still think that physical-store shopping is too small to sustain the eCommerce blow?Even though consumers are staying away from physical stores that follow older concepts, yet we are seeing the rise of fresh concept stores all around the US. We are seeing innovative and attractive success stories of physical stores, ranging from clothes stores to restaurants to health spas. It would be easy to assume that this trend will continue.Indeed, many shopping malls are dying, yet there are still those shopping centers that areperforming well. You can see this for yourself by visiting shopping malls near you. What I want to emphasize here is that not all shopping centers are made equal, just like not all eCommerce retailers are made equal. Both shopping malls and eCommerce sites can lose business if they fail to maintain productivity through improvements and innovations. (68题) When you visit shopping centers that are serious about their business, you would see their shops and parking lots packed.On the other hand, even e -tailers like Amazon have experimented with pop -up shopping concepts. It is important to bear in mind that consumers prefer face -to -face interactions instead of online interactions during shopping, meaning that physical stores are going to stay there.Still, eCommerce retailers are seeing all of their excitement disappear as they settle the sales tax problem associated with e -tailing. As of now, five states of America have already imposed sales tax on purchases through eCommerce sites, and e -tailers in those states have already witnessed 6 to 12 percent decrease in sales.This reinforces the fact that physical stores are here to stay, and if you are still undervaluing their growth, you are omitting a huge chunk of the retail representation. (69题)67. The underlined word "projections" in Paragraph 2 probably means____.A. intentionsB. assessmentsC. performancesD. predictions68. What can we infer from the passage?A. E -tailers are more creative businesses.B. Fresh concepts help build good business.C. Fewer consumers will visit physical stores.D. Physical stores can’t stand the blow of eCommerce.69. What is the best title for this passage?A. Is Offline Spending Greater Than Online Spending?B. Online Stores V .S. Physical Stores—What’s the Difference?C. Will Physical Stores replace eCommerce in the Near Future ？D. Does eCommerce Success Mean Physical Stores Will Disappear?70. Which of the following shows the development of the passage?A. B. C.D.

In her other hand, she holds a paper carrier bag.I know this lady. It is not her first visit. She is the boy’s grandmother, and her daugh ter bought the house next door last October.Her daughter, Nicole, speaks fluent English. But she is now in Shanghai, and her parents are here with the little boy. Nicole has obviously told her mother that I am having heart surgery soon, so her mother has decided I need more nutrients. (56题)I know what is inside the bag—a thermos with hot soup and a stainless-steel container with rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp, sometimes with a kind of pancake. This has become an almost-daily practice.(57题) Communication between us is somewhat affected by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Chinese is hello. Once, she brought an iPad as well as the food. She pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from her daughter telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right and whether it was too salty. I am not used to iPads, so she indicated I should go with her to her house. Then, she handed the iPad to her husband and almost immediately I found myself looking at Nicole in Shanghai and discussing her mother’s cooking and salt intake. Instantly, tears welled in my eyes.“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time,” I insisted. “I can hardly do dishes in return.”“Oh, no, Lucy.” Nicole said. “Mum doesn’t like western food. Don’t worry about it; she has to cook for the three of them anyway, and she wants to do it.”The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me.I am now working on some more Chinese words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.“Thank you” is, of course, the first one. Somehow, it seems inadequate. (58题)56. The elderly Chinese lady visits Lucy regularly because______.A. Lucy pays her to deliver foodB. Lucy likes cooking Chinese foodC. she cares about Lucy’s state of healthD. she wants to make friends with Lucy57. Nicole’s mum took an iPad to Lucy’s home for_________.A. displayingB. communicatingC. cookingD. chatting58. In this passage Lucy mainly expresses her ______.A. preference for the Chinese foodB. gratitude to the Chinese familyC. love of the advanced technologyD. affection for the Chinese languageBChinese Emoji (表情符号) Circles Globe (62题)“Funny”, a made-in-China emoji, seems to have recently moved beyond China. Now, it is more than an emoji, but a cultural expansion.●Reaching Global MarketsA series of “funny” emoji-based bolsters (抱枕) have attracted the attention of Japanese customers. Even if one bolster is more than three times as expensive as in China, it doesn’t kill their desires to buy it. One Japanese customer Miki said, “They are just so cute and I bought three bolsters at one time for my family. And every time I see them, my mood just brightens suddenly.” (59题)A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said, “I think the emoji implies very complicated meanings. My dad will send it when he doesn’t agree with someone but he has to say someth ing and behave politely.”●Addition to Domestic Social MediaCompared with Japanese impressions of the “funny” emoji, Chinese netizens prefer to use the emoji to tease one another on social media.One commonly seen online comment is, “We strongly suggest st opping the usage of the emoji. Because every time other people send me the emoji, I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool.”Regarded as the most popular emoji, the “funny” emoji has received much attention since its release in 2013. In fact, the “funny” emoji is the updated version of its original one; “funny” has a smiley mouth, two eyebrows and a naughty look. All these characteristics present users a sense of satire (讽刺). (60题)●In Everyday Use AbroadIt’s not the first time the Chi nese emoji takes the world stage. Earlier this year, one emoji from the Chinese basketball celebrity Yao Ming has been spread through the Middle East region. In a city in southern Egypt, Yao’s smiling emoji has appeared frequently in local traffic signs to remind people the road ahead is one-way. Many locals do not know Yao Ming but are familiar with his emoji and nickname “Chinese Funny Face”.As a new online language, emojis have become a necessary part of people’s daily life, helping people express their views in a more vivid and precise way. (61题) Also, it can help foreigners learn about Chinese culture. But how to properly use “the fifth innovation in China” without hurtingothers and turn them into commercial advantages still needanswers.59. Why do the bolsters attract Miki’s attention?A. They are inexpensive.B. They helpreach an agreement.C. They help brighten the mood.D. They are helpful to express desire.60. According to the passage, which of the following is the lates t “funny” emoji?A. B. C. D.61. Emojis are so popular worldwide mainly because people use them to ______.A. express their views more vividlyB. present their sense of satire directlyC. imply very complicated meanings properlyD. tease one another on social media purposely62. The main purpose of the text is to ______.A. promote the emoji worldwideB. teach us how to use the emojiC. explain the meaning the emojiD. show us the popularity of the emojiCEvery year billions of pounds are spent on hair loss treatment. If we succeed in curing hair loss with 3D printed hair follicles(毛囊), it will be a huge revolution.L’Oreal, the cosmetics firm is partnering with a French bio-printing company called Poietis, which has developed a form of laser(激光) printing for cell-based objects. Poietis’ technique begins with the creation of a digital map that determines where living cells and other tissue components should be placed to create the desired biological structure. This involves how the cells are expected to grow over time. The file based on the digital map is then turned into instructions for the printing equipment, so that it can lay down tiny droplets made out of the cell-based "bio ink" one layer at a time. The printing process involves bouncing a pulsing laser off a mirror and through a lens, so that when it hits a ribbon(色带) containing the bio ink, a droplet of the matter falls into place. About 10,000 of these micro-droplets are created every second. (63题)It typically takes about 10 minutes to print a piece of skin 1cm wide by 0.5mm thick. However, since hair follicles are complex and consist of 15 different cells in a structure, they may take longer.Poietis is not the only company working on bio-printing, but most others use another way, which involves pushing a bio-ink through a nozzle(喷嘴), rather than lasers to build their tissue.Poietis suggests its technique puts less stress on the biological matter, meaning there is less risk of causing it damage. (64题)Alopecia UK—a charity that provides support and advice about hair loss—has mixed feelings about the development. “It is encouraging to know that (66题)companies such as L’Oreal are investing in technology that may help those with hair loss in the future,” s aid spokeswoman Amy Johnson.(66题) “However, we would suggest it’s still very early to be getting excited about what this potentially could mean for those with medical hair loss. At this point it is unclear as to whether this technology could benefit those with all types of hair loss.” (65题)“Also, if this new technology does lead to a treatment option, given the high costs of existing hair transplant procedures, how many people will be able to realistically afford any new technological advances that may become available? (65题) As with any other research and development into processes that may be able to help those with hair loss, we watch with great interest.”63. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. How the printing process is carried out.B. Where the living cells should be placed.C. How long the cells are expected to grow.D. What the printing equipment is made up of.64. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. hair follicleB. biological matterC. nozzleD. bio-ink65. The passage implies that the new technology may ______.A. meet some practical challengesB. help people with hair loss at presentC. offer solutions to all problems of hair lossD. cost a large sum of money to transplant hair66. What is Amy Joh nson’s attitude towards the new technology?A. Disapproving.B. Optimistic.C. Cautious.D. Negative.DThere is no doubt eCommerce is growing, and it will continue to grow. However, physical stores would not die as a result of the rise of eCommerce, at least not in the near future. The idea that eCommerce is taking over physical stores has already misguided many people. Physical stores are far from vanishing, and there are some solid reasons for it. (69题)The projections for online spending is optimistic with $150 billion expected to be spent in the coming three years, yet we are also expecting (67题) $300 billion in spending at physical stores in the same duration. Do you still think that physical-store shopping is too small to sustain the eCommerce blow?Even though consumers are staying away from physical stores that follow older concepts, yet we are seeing the rise of fresh concept stores all around the US. We are seeing innovative and attractive success stories of physical stores, ranging from clothes stores to restaurants to health spas. It would be easy to assume that this trend will continue.Indeed, many shopping malls are dying, yet there are still those shopping centers that areperforming well. You can see this for yourself by visiting shopping malls near you. What I want to emphasize here is that not all shopping centers are made equal, just like not all eCommerce retailers are made equal. Both shopping malls and eCommerce sites can lose business if they fail to maintain productivity through improvements and innovations. (68题) When you visit shopping centers that are serious about their business, you would see their shops and parking lots packed.On the other hand, even e-tailers like Amazon have experimented with pop-up shopping concepts. It is important to bear in mind that consumers prefer face-to-face interactions instead of online interactions during shopping, meaning that physical stores are going to stay there.Still, eCommerce retailers are seeing all of their excitement disappear as they settle the sales tax problem associated with e-tailing. As of now, five states of America have already imposed sales tax on purchases through eCommerce sites, and e-tailers in those states have already witnessed 6 to 12 percent decrease in sales.This reinforces the fact that physical stores are here to stay, and if you are still undervaluing their growth, you are omitting a huge chunk of the retail representation. (69题)67. The underlined word "projections" in Paragraph 2 probably means____.A. intentionsB. assessmentsC. performancesD. predictions68. What can we infer from the passage?A. E-tailers are more creative businesses.B. Fresh concepts help build good business.C. Fewer consumers will visit physical stores.D. Physical stores can’t stand the blow of eCommerce.69. What is the best title for this passage?A. Is Offline Spending Greater Than Online Spending?B. Online Stores V.S. Physical Stores—What’s the Difference?C. Will Physical Stores replace eCommerce in the Near Future？D. Does eCommerce Success Mean Physical Stores Will Disappear?70. Which of the following shows the development of the passage?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Physical stores are far from vanishing, and there are some solid reasons for it. (69题)The projections for online spending is optimistic with $150 billion expected to be spent in the coming three years, yet we are also expecting (67题) $300 billion in spending at physical stores in the same duration. Do you still think that physical-store shopping is too small to sustain the eCommerce blow?Even though consumers are staying away from physical stores that follow older concepts, yet we are seeing the rise of fresh concept stores all around the US. We are seeing innovative and attractive success stories of physical stores, ranging from clothes stores to restaurants to health spas. It would be easy to assume that this trend will continue.Indeed, many shopping malls are dying, yet there are still those shopping centers that areperforming well. You can see this for yourself by visiting shopping malls near you. What I want to emphasize here is that not all shopping centers are made equal, just like not all eCommerce retailers are made equal. Both shopping malls and eCommerce sites can lose business if they fail to maintain productivity through improvements and innovations. (68题) When you visit shopping centers that are serious about their business, you would see their shops and parking lots packed.On the other hand, even e -tailers like Amazon have experimented with pop -up shopping concepts. It is important to bear in mind that consumers prefer face -to -face interactions instead of online interactions during shopping, meaning that physical stores are going to stay there.Still, eCommerce retailers are seeing all of their excitement disappear as they settle the sales tax problem associated with e -tailing. As of now, five states of America have already imposed sales tax on purchases through eCommerce sites, and e -tailers in those states have already witnessed 6 to 12 percent decrease in sales.This reinforces the fact that physical stores are here to stay, and if you are still undervaluing their growth, you are omitting a huge chunk of the retail representation. (69题)67. The underlined word "projections" in Paragraph 2 probably means____.A. intentionsB. assessmentsC. performancesD. predictions68. What can we infer from the passage?A. E -tailers are more creative businesses.B. Fresh concepts help build good business.C. Fewer consumers will visit physical stores.D. Physical stores can’t stand the blow of eCommerce.69. What is the best title for this passage?A. Is Offline Spending Greater Than Online Spending?B. Online Stores V .S. Physical Stores—What’s the Difference?C. Will Physical Stores replace eCommerce in the Near Future ？D. Does eCommerce Success Mean Physical Stores Will Disappear?70. Which of the following shows the development of the passage?A. B. C.D.

AWhen you walk along a street in a big city in the United States , you may see clocks in most stores. Radio announcers give t he correct time during the day. People there think that it is imp ortant to know the time. Most Americans have watches. They want to do certain things at certain times. They do not want to be late.Not all people all over the world value time. Suppose you visi t a certain country in South America. You would find that peop le living there do not like to rush. If you had an appointment (约会)with someone, he would probably be late. He would not care for arriving on time. In some countries in South America, ev en the radio programs may not begin right on time, nor do the radio announcers think it important to announce the right time. Many people regard a clock as a machine. It seems to them t hat a person who does everything on time is controlled by a m achine. They do not want a clock or any machine to have that much power over their lives.1.

Most Americans own watches.BFitzgerald, a very wealthy English man, had only one child, a son, who naturally was the apple of his eye. His wife died whe n the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted hims elf to fathering the kid. Unluckily the son died in his late teens. Meanwhile, Fitzgerald's wealth was increasing all the time. He spent a lot on art works of the masters. Later Fitzgerald hims elf became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully pre pared his will as to how his wealth would be settled——to sell his entire collection at an auction(拍卖）.Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection , a huge crowd of possible buyers gathered for the auction. M any of them were museum directors and private collectors ea ger to bid（出价）. Before the auction, the art works were shown, among w hich was a painting of Fitzgerald's son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled（敲槌）the crowd to attention. First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald's will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of h is son.The poor-quality painting didn't receive any bidders except one——the old servant who had attended to the son and loved him, a nd who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became qui et, and the lawyer read from the will: “Whoever buys the painti ng of my son gets all my collection.” Then the auction was ov er.6. Fitzgerald was __________.A. a museum directorB. a master of artC. an art collectorD. an art auctioneer7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?A.

Fitzgerald decided to leave everything he had to his servan t.8.

What helped the old servant win the whole collection of Fitz gerald's?A. No more than one pound.B. His emotion for his young master.C. Great increase of his wealth.D. His strong passion for art.10. At the result of the auction, the old man would feel more t han ______________.A. sadB. surprisedC. interestedD. expectedCWe parents often take material things for love. “I give him eve rything,” a disappointed mother complains. “New shoes, video -games, and his own TV. You’d think he’d at least show me re spect!”Of course, love and presents are related. Most parents work h ard to earn money. They want their children to have more tha n they did and have better lives. The problem is, most childre n don’t connect the things parents buy with the labor that pays for them. Children have more, but our culture——and television in particular——teaches them that more is never enough. Having more does n ot mean that a child feels loved.From a parent’s point of view, children are not thankful. But thi s has to do with their natural growth. Young children see their parents as all-mighty(万能的). If parents fail to provide what they want, it must be a matt er of choice. It’s normal for children, even school-age ones, not to be able to take another person’s point of vie w. For example, they may dislike their parents for working lon g hours, and not realize that the parent would also rather hav e more time at home.In addition to giving presents, we have to find other ways to e xpress love and create memories. Reading or telling stories to gether, making music and playing games are all ways for fami lies to spend time without spending money. Traditions like rea ding favorite poems and even snowball fights all serve the pur pose（达到目的）. Most importantly, as parents, we have to learn to hold b ack some energy from our tiring jobs. When we’re present for our children, we ourselves become the presents we want to gi ve.11. The underlined word “them”( in Paragraph 2) refers to____ __________.A. the things parents buyB. parentsC. childrenD. bett er lives12. According to the passage, children______.A. want fewer presentsB. want presents rather than loveC. are taught to ask for moreD. can live better without their parents.13. We can judge from the passage that there is _________.A. a heavy job load for some parentsB. a lack of money in some familiesC. misunderstanding between parents and childrenD. love between parents and children14. The last paragraph of the passage means that______.A. our children are good presents to usB. we should spend more time with our childrenC. we ourselves need some presentsD. we should give more presents to our children15. The best title for the passage is .A. Family LifeB. Children’s EducationC. Love and PresentsD. Children and Parents第二节：任务型阅读（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。
