Well, that is what the students in Class Afloat do.Class Afloat is a Canadian school on a tall ship! The ship is sixty-four metres long and nine metres wide and it can take up to sixty students. The classrooms are well-equipped(设备精良)and comfortable and there's even a library! There is no need to know anything about sailing-students can learn on the ship.Not all the students are Canadian-there's usually a mix of nationalities(国籍).This year, there are also students from Mexico, the USA, Germany and Turkey. There's a mix of ages too. There are secondary school students-first year university students and students who are doing a gap year(休学年)programme.The teachers design special study programmes for each student. Because the school is a ship, you can do some exciting courses-for example, Marine Biology(studying the animals and plants in the sea) and History or Geography courses about the places you visit. Students also learn all about sailing! All the classes are in English, so you must have a good level of English.Students don't just study. They must also clean, cook and sail the ship, in their free time, students can rest, read or watch a film. In the evenings, they relax with friends, have club meetings and sometimes they have a karaoke night.Every sixteen to twenty days, the ship stops in a port for three to six days. In port there're lots to do-home stays, camping trips, museum tours, cultural events, hiking, etc. They also go snorkeling and do other water sports. Parents can meet up with the students in one port every term. Students also take part in two volunteer programmes in Senegal(塞内加尔)and the Dominican Republic(多明尼加共和国). They help local families in different ways, for example, with basic health matters or starting a business. Students learn how, with just a little money and time, they can make changes that improve other people's lives.31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Students don't have to know how to sail before they join the ship.B. Besides studying, students also have to do jobs on the ship.C. Students have to speak English well in order to have classes on the ship.D. Students don't usually meet any local people when they stop in ports.32. What is snorkeling?A. It is an activity of hiking through the forest.B. It is an activity of swimming underwater.C. It is an activity of playing games in a tent.D. It is an activity of riding horses.33. The passage is mainly about ______ .A. special courses on a shipB. sailing around the worldC. a school on a sailing shipD. learning to sail a tall shipDDetective fiction is popular in many countries. There are two kinds: stories in which private detectives solve a crime, usually a murder; and stories in which a police detective solve a crime.Both kinds of detective story are equally popular.The first private detective---PI for private investigator in the USA---was probably Arson Lupin, a Frenchman. However, stories about this detective are not read nowadays. For most people the first, and perhaps the greatest, private detective, was the Englishman, Sherlock Holmes, a character created by the author Sir Author Conan Doyle. All the Sherlock Holmes stories have been translated into most languages. The best known is the Hound of the Baskervilles.The first police detective was probably Sergeant Cuff who solves the crime in the Moonstone, one of the first detective novels in English. The author, Wilkie Collins, was a close friend of Charles Dickens, the best English novelists of all the time.Crime fiction has been as popular in the USA as in the UK, and some of the most famous American writers have written detective fiction. The most highly regarded is probably Raymond Chandler whose PI, Phillip Marlowe, is the archetype(典型的) private detective. Also popular, although not so well-written, are the Perry Mason novels by Erle Stanley Gardner.After Conan Doyle, the most widely read private detective novelist is the English novelist Agatha Christie. She created two unforgettable characters--- Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christie’s have also been translated into most languages.Detective fiction is as popular today as it has ever been, probably because many novels have been adapted for television which introduced them to many people who do not usually read new detective crime fiction.34. Which of the following is a detective story writer?A. Hercule PoirotB. Perry MasonC. Erle Stanley GardenerD. Sergeant Cuff35. What happened to many detective stories?A. They have been long forgotten.B. They have been translated into English.C. Nowadays they are the least popular readings.D. They have been popular because of TV programmes.36. What have Arthur Conan Doyle, Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie in common?A. They all wrote stories about English detectives.B. They all wrote stories about private detectives.C. They all wrote stories about police detectives.D. They all wrote stories about American detectives.37. Which of the following does the writer imply(暗示)?A. Wilkie Collins lived at the same time as Charles Dickens.B. Arson Lupin is a popular character on television nowadays.C. Private detective stories are better reviewed than police detective stories.D. A successful writer of detective stories has to write private detective stories.四、词汇运用(每小题1分, 满分8分)(A) 根据句意和汉语注释, 写出单词的正确形式。

When packaging keeps food safe and fresh for a longer time,less waste happens.Making food last longer is not easy because different foods need different packaging.Fats,for example,change when meeting air and light.That's why fatty foods,like potato chips,are always kept in packages which light can't get through.And cookies are afraid of getting wet.Keeping those snacks in a fully closed package will help them stay fresh and tasty longer.Packaging can extend shelf life by keeping out gases in the air,like oxygen.Oxygen causes problems for many different foods.So many food packages are designed to solve the air problem.Vacuum-Sealed packaging takes off any oxygen between the food and packaging,which can increase shelf life from a few days to a few weeks.Modified atmosphere packaging is another solution.Unlike vacuum-Sealed packaging,which takes off as much air as possible,this packaging replaces the air with a right mixture of gases.Red meat needs some oxygen to keep its colour,but too much oxygen can make it go bad.This kind of packaging can extend shelf life while keeping the product's colour.While packaging can help reduce food waste,people also need to consider the environmental influence ofthe packaging itself.Scientists are working to develop more proper materials.And more people get to know the importance of reducing food waste. "Unlike many of the challenges we face right now on our planet," said Shukla from Food &;Wine magazine,"Food waste is something that every single person can do something about."31. People work on food packaging to make food ______ .A. produce more energyB. produce less harmful gasC. be kept for a longer timeD. be away from air pollution32. In Paragraph 3,the writer mentioned potato chips and cookies to ______ .A. explain food must be kept without lightB. explain packaging depends on the food typeC. show wasted food is bad for the environmentD. show food goes bad quickly when getting wet33. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage______A. How to Package FoodB. Creative Packaging DesignsC. Food Waste:Causes and SolutionsD. Packaging:A Way to Fight Food WasteSCassy made a plan for her and Emmeline.No one wanted to go to the attic(阁楼)in Legree's house because everyone thought it was full of ghosts and Legree was afraid of ghosts.Cassy's room was under it.One day,Cassy moved all her furniture to a room very far from it.When Legree asked why,she replied,"I can't sleep.There were noises in the attic,every night,from midnight until the morning.""Noises in the attic?"said Legree,worried,"Who is up there?""I don't know,"said Cassy and she went to her room.Then she put things in the attic that made strange noises when the wind blew.The slaves heard them and started talking about ghosts.Legree became scared of passing near the stairs to the attic.Then one night Cassy and Emmeline ran away.They stayed near the house and waited.When Legree left to look for them with his slaves and dogs,Cassy and Emmeline went into the attic.Legree was angry when he came back and he was sure that Tom knew something."Tom,"said Legree,"tell me where those two are,or I will kill you.Speak!""I have nothing to say,"said Tom."Are you telling me that you don't know?""I know,Master,but I can't tell you."Legree hit Tom and kicked him again and again,until he thought Tom was dead.Then he left.But Tom was not dead.Cassy and Emmeline stayed in the attic for days,until Legree stopped looking for them.Then one night they escaped again and nobody followed them.They were free.Two days later,a young man arrived.He was George Shelby.When he received the letter from Miss Ophelia,he went looking for Tom to buy him back,but it took a long time to find him.Legree took George to see Tom.Tom was lying on the floor,waiting to die.When George saw him,he felt sick. "Uncle Tom,my poor,poor friend!"Tom opened his eyes."Master George!You remembered me!It's going well,"said Tom and then he closed his eyes forever.When George turned,Legree was standing behind him."Who cares about a dead slave!"said Legree.George hit Legree so hard that he fell to the ground.Then_______.---Taken from Uncle Tom's Cabin34.

It was an unexpectedly challenging role, one without additional benefits, or a raise for that matter.As a direct result of starting school, there was the surprisingly unpleasant changes to our schedule (time-table). As parents, we were ill-prepared for the troubled time we had trying to get used to the practice of school.Gone were the carefree days without plans and plenty of time to kill. This included playing imaginary games indoors or hanging around outside whenever the weather turned nice. Getting to school on time meant becoming the ‘hot mess’ mum who were often seen inmovies. I was rushing kids out the door, forgetting lunch boxes and losing car keys.As a huge morning person, I tried my best to ensure that school mornings remained calm and slow-paced. I prepared as much as possible the night before. But it still felt like we were in a rush, which I really hated.The trick. I later discovered, was to cover up my feeling of anxiety. I chanted to myself “Do not rush him, no one likes to be rushed” while helping him get through his morning routine and tasks in a timely manner. Whatever frustration (沮丧) I fell about how slow he was moving, I wouldn’t let him know it. I even didn’t allow anyone in our house to say phrases like, “Hurry up, we’re going to be late!” Our common goal, was not just to get our son out the door in time for school, but more importantly prove that mornings can be relaxed and enjoyable, rather than a horrible start to the day.Of course by the time summer holiday came, our family had grown wise enough. In what felt like the ‘longest shortest time’, we went from anxious and confused, to calm and confident once again. We were far more prepared to have a smoother start to the new school year.28.What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A.She liked her new position.B.She got a promotion at work.C.She made good preparations.D.She had to face the challenge. 29.Which word is similar in meaning to the underlined words “hot mess” in paragraph 3? A.disorganized B.busy C.confident D.hard-working 30.What is the text mainly about?A.Growth of kids.B.Experience as a school parent. C.New life in school.D.Advice on lifestyle change.Schoolchildren spend most of their time surrounded by their peers (同龄人). They spend a lot more time with classmates, teammates and fellow club members than with adults in their lives. Peer pressure can have a huge influence on the lives of children in grades two through twelve.From birth through age six, the family shapes a child’s sense of identity (个性). Parents and brothers and sisters affect a child’s likes, dislikes, tastes in clothing, food and music and, perhaps most importantly, values. Once children enter school, they form connections to the larger group of their peers. This group brings new ideas and experiences. Peer pressurehappens when a student’s actions are influenced by this group. The “pressure” happens when peers suggest or demand actions different from the child’s normal behavior and values.Peer pressure leads to some disturbing negative behavior in schoolchildren. In the USA, about 75% of high school students have tried alcohol (酒) offered by their friends in middle or high school. According to a survey, students felt pressured by their peers between 35 and 49% of the time. The power of peer pressure can result from a schoolchild’s growing desire (渴望) to fit into a group.Thankfully, peer pressure can also be positive. For example, wanting to join an athletic group of friends may force a student who has been sitting for a long time to try out for the soccer team. In a survey on peer pressure, 51% of teenagers felt that peer pressure was sometimes positive. One teenager responded, “Sometimes it can help you gain confidence.” Other examples of positive peer pressure include students encouraging a classmate to run for school president, or friends suggesting that a talented peer try out for a talent show. 31.What leads to schoolchildren’s peer pressure?A.The identity shaped by their family.B.The connections with their classmates. C.The childhood experiences with their friends.D.The differences in their behavior and values.32.Why do some schoolchildren behave negatively under peer pressure?A.To kill their boring time.B.To fit into a peer group.C.To help gain confidence.D.To improve social skills.33.What does the author think of peer pressure?A.Peer pressure does more harm than good.B.Peer pressure is very good for schoolchildren’s growth.C.Peer pressure is not necessarily bad for school children.D.Peer pressure plays an important role in shaping a child’s values.When Oliver arrived in this hard world, it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes. He lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.Oliver fought his first battle without much help from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver’s survive.However, Oliver managed to draw his first breath, and then announced his arrival bycrying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face and whispered, “let me see it.”The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming his hands. He gave her the child. Lovingly, she kissed the baby with her cold white lips, then stared wildly around the room, fell back—and died.The doctor began to put on his coat. “The mother was a good-looking girl. Where did she come from?”“She was brought here last night,” replied the old woman. “She was found lying in the street. Where she came from, or what her name was, nobody knows.”The doctor lifted the girl’s left hand. “The old story,” he shook his head. “No wedding ring, I see. Ah! Good night.”And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. He was then sent to a special “baby farm” nearby. There, he and thirty other children rolled (翻滚) around the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing. Mrs. Mann, who “looked after” them, was very experienced. She knew what was good for children. She also knew what was good for herself. The board (董事会) responsible for the orphans (孤儿) sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent Mr. Bumble, a kind local policeman, to announce their visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean.On Oliver’s ninth birthday, Mr. Bumble came to see Mrs. Mann. Through the front window, Mrs. Mann saw him at the gate, and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.“Quick! Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed!” she said. Then she ran out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.34.What was the weather like when Oliver was born?A.Warm.B.Cool.C.Cold.D.Hot. 35.According to the passage, the gate of the baby farm was always kept locked in order to ________.A.protect the children inside from dangers outsideB.prevent officers walking in unexpectedlyC.keep the children inside working all the timeD.make sure the children were always neat and clean36.What does the underlined sentence “without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing” probably mean according to the passage?A.Oliver and other children had enough food and clothing.B.Oliver and other children didn’t have enough food or clothing.C.Oliver and other children had no food or clothing at all.D.Oliver and other children had a very good time in the baby farm.37.Which is the right order according to the passage?a. Oliver was sent to a special “baby farm” nearby.b. Mrs. Mann ran out to unlock the gate.c. Oliver lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.d. Mr. Bumble came to see Mrs. Mann on Oliver’s ninth birthday.e. Oliver’s mother kissed the baby with her cold white lips.A.c-a-d-b-e B.e-c-b-d-a C.c-e-a-d-b D.e-b-d-a-c四、根据汉语提示填空38.Internet Marketing can satisfy any ________ (消费者) needs.39.Pay no attention to those who look down upon you. What ________ (要紧) most is how you see yourself.40.It’ll take about two days to finish the project if everything goes____________(顺利地). 41.Through hard work and practice, the ________ (不出名的) basketball player has grown up to a world—famous superstar.五、用所给单词的正确形式填空42.Tom prefers ________ (west) to romantic films because they tells the life of cowboys. 43.As the old saying goes, the harder you work, the ________ (wealth) you will be.44.I bet you have zero thoughts focused on worrying about the future or ________ (regret) the past.45.Such problems between the two countries should be dealt with ________ (peaceful). 46.—Isn’t it time for you to go to bed, Mike?—I _________ (paint) all the afternoon, so I have to finish my homework now.47.The newspaper says that the price of meat ________ (fall) a lot in the last few weeks. 48.James _________ (lay) his hand on my shoulder and I put mine around his at the sametime.49.—I really find it difficult to choose one between the two types.—Don’t worry, madam. Both are made of silk and ________ (wash) easily.50.Not only the UK itself but also other European countries _________ (care) a lot about the new Era of Brexit (脱欧新时代) these days.51.Earthquake last month in Turkey was a real disaster, ________ (leave) thousands of people homeless.52.Since I have spent so much time playing computer games, I would rather work harder than before ________ (pass) the exam.53.Peter promised that he ________ (share) something interesting with me as soon as he finished reading the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.六、阅读填表When students get bored with the boring classes in the classroom, the practical classes in the lab help them relax. There, students can get hands-on experience about the lessons they have learned. High school students are allowed to do the basic experiments (实验) of different subjects of science, mainly physics, chemistry and biology. However, lab safety matters. Lab safety rules are mainly about personal safety and proper ways to use instruments to avoid accidents inside the lab.Middle school is the first chance for students to work in a science lab. Lab experiments are carried out with great care. And the students are always told to follow the instructions to make sure of lab safety. Firstly, you must be careful of your personal safety. While doing experiments, you should be dressed in protective things, like gloves, safety glasses and caps. Since you are dealing with the instruments or the chemicals for the first time, you might be curious to try something new. But such activities often lead to lab dangers. So, avoid any kind of carelessness.There are different types of instruments inside a science lab. Physics labs are filled withdifferent electrical instruments, which need safe using steps. So you need to do the experiments under the supervision (监督) of your teachers until you are good at them. Don’t mix the chemicals as you like. It might cause danger. Also you should always keep a biology lab clean to avoid pollution.You are new to the lab and it is your duty to learn about the lab completely. You should learn about the correct using steps of expensive instruments. Turn off the gas as soon as you finish your experiments. You also should learn about where the fire extinguisher is and the working of fire safety instruments.Lab safety rules for school students七、完成句子59.未经允许,请勿将这些杂志带出图书馆。

Almost everyone knows the story of Cinderella ﹣ a servant (仆人) girl who wears a glass slipper (玻璃鞋) and wins the heart of a prince. Disney has remade the classic fairy tale into a new movie.We are first introduced to a beautiful girl named Ella.(1)________ Ella then welcomes her stepmother (继母) and her daughters. But when Ella's father unexpectedly dies too,she finds herself living with a horrible new family. Her stepmother and stepsisters make her into a servant girl. They even rename her Cinderella because she is often covered in cinders (煤灰) because of sleeping by the fireplace.Most people might become disappointed (沮丧的) and angry in such a situation. But Ella doesn't.She tells herself to stay strong and be kind.One day, Ella meets a charming stranger in the woods. She doesn't know he is a prince.Soon an invitation to a palace ball comes. Ella might see the young man again.(2)________ As in all good fairy tales, a beggar (乞丐) appears. She uses her magic to help Ella and changes her life forever.Kenneth Branagh, director of the movie, believes people love Cinderella because they connect with the story on a deep level."Cinderella is certainly placed in a hard situation, but she chooses not to be the girl in distress (痛苦) and we see her make strong, positive choices in that situation," he told Glamour magazine.

Though the weather is bad, Al Gehrke sits 110 floors above the ground, 442 meters above the earth. You may be wondering what he is doing so far off the ground. If you asked him, he would say, "________Al Gehrke has a very special job that not many people would want to have. He manages one of the tallest buildings in the world ﹣ the Wills Tower in Chicago. His team washes and changes the windows. The Wills Tower has 16, 000 windows and each window weighs over 90 kilos. Gehrke and his team work from seven in the evening until four in the morning. They clean 18 windows each night. Each window takes almost 30 minutes. Al Gehrke is not afraid of high places and he is a good man for the job.Mary Ann also has an unusual job. Instead of hanging high above the earth washing windows, she works under the water. She trains dolphins for shows and also helps people to swim with the dolphins. She loves the dolphins. "We never tell a dolphin what to do. We ask them respectfully. They decide to do that for us because of the relationship we have, " she said.Besides washing windows high above the earth or swimming with big fish under the water, there are other unusual jobs that you have probably never thought of people having. Here is another strange example: karaoke singers! A karaoke singer is someone who sings the songs of famous singers. The singer is able to follow the words of the songs because they appear on a computer in front of them. In Cyprus, karaoke singers are very popular. They sing to the people on holiday. As the visitors travel around the island they can listen to the music of the karaoke singers.(1)By saying "________" in Paragraph 1, Al Gehrke is most likely to tell us________.A his job is difficult to doB he is brave and strongC he can make muchmoney D his job is nothing special.(2)According to the third paragraph, Mary Ann________.A considers herself unusualB teaches people how to swimC has a great love for dolphinsD works long hours every day.(3)The writer is trying to introduce some unusual jobs by________.A holding some activitiesB offering some examplesC comparing severalones D telling some funny stories.18. Every year in Bath, England, there is a special festival. People dress up in period clothes and have concerts and balls. They are celebrating the Jane AustenFestival.Jane Austen is an English writer. Born in Steventon, England, 1775, Austen was mostly educated at home, where she teamed how to play the piano, draw and write creatively. She read a lot and later came to enjoy social events such as parties, dances and balls. She disliked the busy life of towns and preferred the country life, where she took to taking long walks.In 1801, Jane, her parents and sister moved to Bath. Four years later, her father passed away and the family soon became poor. Austen and her family moved several times until finally settling(安顿)into a small house in Chawton. It was in this house that she wrote most of her works.In March of 1817, Austen got serious health problems and was sent to Winchester for a cure so she had to stop writing. She died in July of the same year, at the age of only 41.Austen was famous for her humorous words and clever ideas. Most of her novels are about women in 18th century England. At that time, if a woman wanted to have a happy life, she had to marry a rich man. But Austen said that a woman should marry for love, not for money or social status(地位).So her characters were often strong women.Pride and Prejudice(偏见), published in 1813, is the most famous novel by Austen. It tells of a romantic story between a young woman Elizabeth and a tall, rich, and handsomeman, Mr. Darcy. It has been changed into films, televisions and musicals(1)Which of the following is TRUE about Austen?________A She loved reading and taking long walks.B She received education incollege. C She hated parties, balls and dances. D She preferred the city life.(2)Where did Austen write most of her works?________A In a small house in Winchester.B In a small house in ChawtonC In Steventon,England.D In the countryside of Bath..(3)What's the correct order of the following events?________a. Jane Austen, her parents and sister moved to Bath.b. Jane Austen got seriously ill and stopped writing.c. Jane Austen learned how to play the piano, draw and write creatively.d.

In 1969, as US astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon, he famously declared, 'That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.' And as many countries come together to celebrate World Space Week from Oct 4﹣10, it seems that there are still many leaps to take.During ancient times, our only steps were back and forth across the surface of our own planet. We climbed to the top of mountains, or sailed in boats across oceans. But wedidn't, and couldn't, leave the surface of our planet.It's not surprising that back then, the so﹣called heavens fascinated(使着迷) us so much.How could they not? How could people not be ________ with the great object in thesky that arrived each day with light and then left, taking the light with it? Or the mysterious moon, stars and planets that lit up the night sky? Compared with us, these things seemedso free and exciting. Different cultures created stories about the heavens. The Chinese referred to a 'King of the Sky' who created the heavens and decorated them with stars; the ancient Greeks had 'the Sky Gods' who controlled the weather.Few of us believe those stories anymore ﹣ science has taught us better. And yet the heavens, or what we now call 'space' and 'outer space', are still a source of mystery and fascination for us.Yes, there are space stations, satellites and trips to other planets. None of this modern science, however, has made space any less fascinating to us.As the American scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson said, 'The universe is under no obligation (义务)to make sense to you.' The more we know, the more our curiosity grows.Even today, the most popular novels and movies are set on other planets, solar systems (太阳系)or galaxies (星系). Space is still mysterious, as it was for the ancient Chinese, Greeks and Romans. And perhaps it always will be.(1)The author used Neil Armstrong's story to________.A describe how the celebration of World Space Week beganB draw attention to great achievements in space explorationC explain why human beings are curious about outer spaceD predict(预报) future space programs that might change history.(2)The underline word 'obsessed' in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________.A happyB interestedC satisfiedD bored.(3)Compared with modern people, ancient Greeks________.A didn't leave many records of space objectsB believed the King of the Sky controlled the weatherC shared a similar curiosity about the universeD showed little respect for the power of nature.(4)What's the article mainly about?________A Important events in space exploration history.B Human's unchangeable interest in space.C Ancient stories inspired(激发,产生) by the heavens.D What we have learned about the universe.四、词汇运用(每小题1分,满分4分)(A)根据句意和汉语注释,写出单词的正确形式.20. ________(尽管) there isn't enough time for us, we'll try our best.21.

But that's what Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has accomplished. "Stay awesome and ZHUperb !" Volleywood, a US ﹣based blog website for volleyball fans, recently coined the word "ZHUperb", which combines "Zhu" and "superb", to describe the 24﹣year﹣old player's dominance (支配)on the court.At a young age, Zhu is captain of China women's national volleyball team. But it hasn't been easy for Zhu to get to where she is today.Born to a farming family in Henan province, Zhu got a hard﹣won chance to attend a local sports school at the age of 13. The player got homesick during the first few months of training. But later she got over it, and made progress week on week. She quickly succeed in entering the national youth team from the provincial youth team.In 2013, she became famous after helping the Chinese U20 team to win the title at the 2013 FIVB U20 World Championship. Then Zhu was enlisted in the national team and met the famous coach Lang Ping. At the beginning, as a 1.98﹣meter﹣tall girl, Zhu found it difficult to move fast and hold her weight on her feet, but Lang thought it as her advantage. She trained her to jump high to smash (扣杀) the ball. After this, she became an ace spiker (主攻手).Zhu still works up a sweat (汗) during training. "Hard work and talent are equally important. I'll move forward step by step," she told People's Daily.Title: Zhu Ting﹣The superstar who inspires a new word ZHUperb七、完成句子按所给的汉语,用英语完成下列句子(每小题1. 5分,满分9.0分)37. 目前,网速的提升已推动了智能手机的发展.Up to now, the promotion of Internet speed________ smart phones.38. 那天,他真后悔没有及时开展调查,错失了最后的机会.The other day, he really________ the survey in time and missed his last chance.39. 现代科技已经对我们的日常生活产生巨大变化,我们简直离不开它们.Modern science and technology________ to our daily life that we can hardly live without them.40. 青少年应该学会辨别有哪些电子邮件是真正值得回复的.Teenagers are supposed to tell which emails________.41. 罗素兄弟导演的《复联4》电影很精彩,赢得了众多影迷的高度评价.Avengers 4 directed by Russo Brothers is such a wonderful film________by a number of fans.42. 事实上,父母再怎么关注孩子们的健康和安全都不为过.In fact, to parents, children's health and safety can________.八、书面表达(满分10分)43. 假如你是林涛,你的笔友Sam在学校和同学发生了一些矛盾.现在他来信,请你给他一些关于怎样与他人相处和自我保护的建议.请根据下面表格提示,用英文给他写一封回信写作要求:1.短文内容必须包含所给要点,并适当发挥2.语句通顺、语法正确、书写规范3.文中不能出现考生的真实姓名、校名和地名;4:词数80左右.开头和结尾已给出,但不计入总词数.爹考词汇: respect尊重Dear Sam,How is it going?

People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.◆“What’s the matter?”“I went to a party last night, so I…”◆“I feel so tired these days.”“I think you’d better…”◆“Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”You can see from the above three examples that the context(上下文)helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.( ) 25. This passage tells us mainly about _______.A. the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign languageB. how to guess what one is going to talk aboutC. some examples of right guessingD. how important it is to guess all the time( ) 26. Which of the following best finishes the sentence in EXAMPLE 3?A. She is one of the most famous film stars.B. She is one of the most beautiful women.C. She is one of the most famous speakers.D. She is one of the most talkative women.( ) 27. From the passage we can infer(推断)that guessing is _______ in learning a foreign language.A. the only wayB. more important in spoken English than in written EnglishC. more important than any other wayD. more important in written English than in spoken EnglishBA few minutes before six o’clock, Mr. Smith decided to leave. He was about to start the car when a gunman jumped up from the back seat. He held a gun to Mr. Smith’s head. “Drive me to Paris!”he shouted.“All right”, Mr. Smith answered. He started the engine, pulled away from the side of the street and drove down. Being eighty-one years old, he knew he could not fight the gunman. He knew he needed help. Where were the police? As he drove through a crossing, he looked up and down the side streets, hoping to meet a police car. But he could see nothing. “Just my luck,” he thought, “If I was driving too fast, there would be a police car on every corner.”Suddenly he pushed his foot down on the accelerator(油门), and the car ran much faster. “What are you doing?”shouted the gunman. “Keeping off the police,”Mr. Smith answered. “I thought I saw a police car back there.”He ran lights, drove the wrong way on one-way streets. On two-way streets he drove on the wrong side of th e road. Not one policeman saw him. Again Mr. Smith’s plan was not working. He had to try a new plan. He turned a corner and saw the police station in front. Then he drove his car as fast as he could towards the police gate. The car hit a police motorbike down and stopped. Mr. Smith shouted, “Help! Help!” Then he reached back to grab(夺) the man’s gun. At the same time the policeman heard the noiseand quickly caught the gunman.28. Why did Mr. Smith drive much faster suddenly?A. Because he wanted to keep off the police.B. Because he saw a police car behind his.C. Because his plan was working.D. Because he wanted the police to see him.29. Which of the following is not TRUE?A. Mr. Smith ran lights, drove the wrong way on one-way streets.B. Mr. Smith knew he didn’t need any help.C. Mr. Smith drove his car as fast as he could towards the police gate.D. Mr. Smith looked up and down the side street, hoping to meet a police car.30. From the passage, what can we infer(推测)?A. Mr. Smith is a strong man.B. Mr. Smith is a shy man.C. Mr. Smith is a wise man.D. Mr. Smith is a stupid man.CWe don’t know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day we w ill be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like r obots which will do the homework for us.Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means(方式) of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much cleaner.We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AI DS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.Although we can’t predict(预测) the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine(乐观的) about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.31. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?A. Because the number of people will become much smaller.B. Because there will be less face-to-face communicationC. Because people won’t like making friends with each otherD. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.32. According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?A. The relationship between people will be more important than today.B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.C. It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.33. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.B. What our life will be like in the year 2050.C. How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.D. Wha t high technology will appear in the year 2050.DYou are probably familiar with the saying:An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent research carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong may change the saying:An apple a day may keep aging away.The research chose fruit flies(果蝇), as they share many genes(基因)with humans. The fruit flies were either fed normally or had an apple extract(浓缩物) added to their diet.It turned out that those fruit flies that were given apple extract lived about 55 days—five days longer than the flies that were normally fed. The research group also found it easier for the flies to walk,climb and move about as they aged.According to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in the appleextract helped clean up dangerous chemicals(化学物质) that cause illnesses,as well as aging.In another study,researchers examined diets of thousands of women. They discovered that those who regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke.The apples’ genetic code(遗传密码) was discovered recently. It allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier fruits. Resear chers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer.Apples that kill the desire(欲望) to eat could also be produced, with the first“extra-healthy’’apples on supermarket shelves within just four or five years.The team that keeps studying apple DNA includes 100 scientists from five countries. Their research also suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off the plant,which would finally become today’s apple tree, experienced a great genetic change. The number of many of its genes doubled. The extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development from peaches,strawberries and other related fruits.34.Why were fruit flies used for the research?A. Because they have a similar diet to humans.B. Because they have a history as long as apples.C. Because they share a lot of genes with humans.D. Because they feed on nothing but apple extract.35.What result did the researchers find out?A. Apples produce chemicals that can change hu man genes.B. Apples have antioxidants that kill chemicals that cause aging.C. Apples are rich in vitamins that are needed in humans’ bodies.D. Apples produce chemicals that make apples taste more delicious.36.What happened to apples around 65 million years ago according to the research?A. Their genes stopped their development as the environment got worse.B. Their genes became twice in number but they finally died off like dinosaurs.C. They experienced a great genetic change making them get used to worse conditions.D. They went through a similar development to peaches, strawberries and other related fruits. 37.What can we infer(推断)from the passage?A. Eating apples may bring us more advantages than we might believe before.B. People who have the habit of eating apples don’t need to see a doctor.C. Apples that kill the desire to eat are already available in supermarkets now.D. People will eat apples instead of peaches and strawberries from now on.第二卷(非选择题,共40分)四、词汇运用根据所给单词或所给中文写出单词的正确形式(本大题共8分,每小题1分)1.
