Course feesB. AccommodationC. The size of classD. Teachers’ workBBrenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big dream—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy.One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备）and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next – door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''35．Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?A. Because she didn't want others to hear her playB. Because she didn't mean to disturb others.C. Because she didn't have her own roomD. Because she didn’t like her neighbors.36．Brenda started to give concerts _______.A. after she practiced in her space bubbleB. when she became part of the unique space journeyC. after she became a real musical astronautD. when people came to see her in the space bubble37．Brenda became famous because _______.A. she was good at music and scienceB. she became a real musical astronautC. she invented a special way of practiceD. she played well and had a talent38．It can be inferred from the text that: " _______".A. He laughs best who laughs lastB. It's never too old to learnC. Two heads are better than oneD. One good turn deserves anotherC(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.“I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.“I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”39．Why was Duret in New York?A. To meet his girlfriend.B. To spend his holiday.C. To work as an engineer.D. To visit the Andersons.40．What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?A. He was interviewed by a newspaper.B. He went to the hospital in the ambulance.C. He disappeared from the spot quickly.D. He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.41．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Duret thought twice before he jumped into the cold water.B. Duret dived into the water before the girl’s father.C. The rescue happened on the day Duret left for France.D. Duret didn’t think he was brave enough to be a hero.42．What is probably the headline of this news report?A. A Careless FatherB. A Poor GirlC. Warm-hearted OnlookersD. Brave Frenchman FoundDMaybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on one’s appearance; it can trick you. Do not rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.43．In this passage, the writer wants to tell us ______.A. what to do in our lifeB. where to go with other personsC. how to treat our lifeD. how to get on well with other persons44．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. If you give someone your love, you are sure to receive love in return.B. We of ten don’t know what we have lost until it happens someday.C. It is wise not to rely on anybody because you are likely to be cheated.D. If it takes you a short time to love someone, you will easily forget the person.45．If you put yourself in another pers on’s position, ______.A. you shouldn’t do what will hurt other peopleB. you should put on other people’s shoesC. you should believe in other peopleD. you should depend on your imagination46．In the last paragraph the writer is actually telling us that a person in the world should be one who ______.A. can accept the suggestions made by othersB. can live happily and forget the pastC. does good to other people and is respected and loved by themD. has made a lot of money for himself before he diesEA new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression . The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression -- eating or mood changes -- and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connectionbetween romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.47．Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.B. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.C. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.48．What can be inferred from the passage?A. The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.B. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.C. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.49．What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?A. Confused.B. Disinterested.C. Scared.D. Disapproving.50．What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.B. Parents should forbid their children’s love.C. Romance is a two ? edged sword for adults.D. Romance is good for young people.第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Charing Cross.BFor almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people's lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope（听诊器）and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first, I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, it's easy to take people in.” he said.One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came into hospital, York was standing over her.“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection." she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn't think there was anything wrong. "I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn't showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I cou ld hardly believe my ears.”Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was "shocked and horrified,, that he got away with his deceiving（欺瞒）for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.“1 can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunities to study the behavior of the psychiatrists（精神科医生）who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psych iatrist after you are set free, 1 shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.24.York was proud of the fact that.A. a surgeon let him watch an operation.B. he could perform some duties of a doctorC. he had cheated doctors for so longD. people thought he could become a real doctor25.York learned how to behave like a doctor by.A. watching other doctors workB. talking to doctors and nursesC. getting some training and experienceD. observing doctors while he was a patient26.Why was Laura Kennan in hospital?A.She had swallowed something and almost died.B.She had to have an emergency operation.C.She had been injured in a road accident.D.She had lost consciousness while driving.27.The judge's remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he.A. pretended to be a psychiatristB. tried to get away from prisonC. was proud of what he had doneD. studied the behavior of the psychiatristCThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警觉）.Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze （注视）starts to lose its focus —until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns; she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coining into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects （a comb, a key, an orange and so on）, changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.28.The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's ______.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell29.Babies are sensitive to the change in___.A. the size of cardsB. the color of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects30.Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of theexperiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies9 interest.31.Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children's literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has been an effective way to promote the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed “town criers” to read public messages aloud to promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of advertisements （ads） could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books.By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, printed materials became an important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm's name or product, words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as ""advertising agencies （广告商）The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted consumerism （消费主义）as a way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the "right“ products.32.What was advertising like in the Middle Ages?A.Merchants were employed to promote products.B.Ad messages were shouted out in public places.C.Product information was included in books.D.Ad signs were put up in towns.33.What does the word "This" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Advertising in newspapers.B. Including pictures in ads.C. Selling goods in markets.D. Working with ad agencies.34.The 18th century advertising was special in its.A. growing spendingB. printing materialsC. advertising companiesD. attractive designs35. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. The Story of AdvertisingB. The Value of Advertising DesignsC. The Role of Newspaper AdvertisingD. The Development of Printing for Advertising其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I had slept eight hours. My unreliable left knee wasn’t bothering me. I was 1 .Then my girlfriend, Louisa, knocked on the door, asking whether I had checked my email. Race officials sent an email at 5 a. m. announcing The Twin Cities Marathon in Minneapolis and St. Paul had been 2 due to record high temperatures.While I understood why the race organizers didn’t want to put runners at 3 , I also knew that I had trained in the baking and humid Washington D．C．all summer.

While running, I was overfilled with 5 to still see neighbors who gathered outside their houses 6 out bottles of water as they watched runners go by. The runners and supporters made the race feel like a real marathon, during which the shared goal of reaching the finishing line and the affirmations from the crowds made me believe I could run the 7 race.The last one mile of the route was downhill. By that point in the race, my legs felt like jelly. But from the top of the hill, I could see dozens of supporters cheering runners home, which 8 me to move on. When my smart watch finally ticked to “26.2” miles, I called out “I’m done” to Louisa, who had been giving a much needed 9 along the way. I let out a dry sob and gave Louisa a hug.

He had just taken a sip of hot tea when the message popped up, and Keene did a double-take at the subject line: “A TRIBE IS WANTED”.From there, Ben co-founded Tribewanted, an eco-friendly sustainable community existing in the virtual world of the internet and on an actual desert island at the same time.With huge media interest, the courageous and bold idea could have had enormous consequences for tourism. The idea behind Tribewanted was to recruit (招募) a group of similar people online before heading to the Fijian Island of Vorovoro to build a sustainable community alongside the local native tribe.The idea was swept along with a flood of interest, with the island lease (租约) was secured, the virtual community sprung to life. All major decisions on the island were voted on by an online tribe that anyone around the world could join. The idea was so exciting that the journey was turned into a 5 part BBC series “Paradise or Bust” and a book, Tribewanted.Ben spent 10 years building and expanding Tribewanted beyond the crowdfunded sustainable-tourism villages on an island in Fiji, to a beach in Sierra Leone and a farm in Umbria. He faced challenges including a fire sweeping through the island in the first week of the project, a military coup (政变), and a hurricane that threatened to destroy the emerging village. Online disagreements also made decision making hard and pushed the project to the edge.The project survived, and for a while, thrived. From there Ben joined Escape the City, a global community with the mission to help one million people to do work that matters to them and the world, inspiring thousands of talented career changers and ambitious businessmen to take the leap and launch their ideas into the world. Ben led the Escape school team for 5 years, and became a business advisor and guider at Virgin Startup, and Zinc. Ben has supported and guided thousands of people to set up impactful businesses on a limited budget.4. What is Tribewanted?A．A voting software. B．An island adventure project.C．An employment plan. D．An eco-community in virtual and realworlds.5. Which phrase may best replace the underlined “sprung to life”?A．passed on. B．came into being.C．got involved. D．struggled to survive.6. What might be Ben’s intention of joining Escape the City?A．To seek funds for his Tribewanted .B．To call for investment in remote islands.C．To support people to launch influential businesses.D．To help ambitious businessmen to change careers.7. In which column can you read this text?A．Inspiring people. B．Connected lives.C．Inventive solutions. D．Global business.About two months ago, I removed Uber Eats from my phone. Not because I didn’t like using it. I loved it. Like most cheap, modern luxuries though, there are hidden costs.“Restaurants are barely surviving. Delivery apps will kill them” was a headline in a newspaper, one of many stories exploring the unfair sign-up strategies and high fees taken by these tech companies. Moreover, there were reports about bad working conditions for delivery riders, leading to tragic accidents, even deaths. That’s truly unbearable!I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since. Instead of ordering online, now I either cook something or get takeaway nearby. Cooking better food has been a great motivation for me. On lazy nights, I’ve discovered that I can still make a satisfying meal by using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This approach has also saved me much money. As with lots of online shopping, I’d been ordering food without much th ought about the cost. Cooking is almost always cheaper and so is old-school takeaway.These changes have cost me one thing — time. One reason the apps are so popular is that they meet the needs of the convenience-seeking, time-starved individuals. But rather than adding to my stress, having to plan meals again somehow made life less so. Some days it’s been a good motivation to stop work earlier, and engage in activities like going to the shops, or start chopping onions. Walking to pick up takeaway forces you to go for a walk. The change in habit forced me to be on my devices a bit less and to be in my actual life and neighbourhood a bit more.The process has made me think about how technological advances do save us time, but time for what? For me, the answer was often just more time working, or more time online. Making my own food feels like taking back time I had given up for things far less nourishing (有营养的).8. Which might be the reason for the author to remove Uber Eats?A．Her passion for cooking. B．Her boredom with online ordering.C．Her preference for another app. D．Her concern for its negative impacts.9. What does the author think of cooking?A．Addictive and money-saving. B．Cheap and convenient.C．Time-consuming but rewarding. D．Motivating but stressful.10. What does “the process” refer to in the last paragraph?A．Reflecting on the influence of hi-tech.B．Adapting to life free of delivery apps.C．Getting into a healthy eating habit.D．Rediscovering the fun of cooking.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．My Order Never ArrivedB．Why Uber Eats Gets Less ActiveC．What Delivery Apps Can Not Offer MeD．The Convenience Was Not Worth The CostAccording to Americans for the Arts, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say that the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences.” Still, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent visited an art museum; six percent attended a literary event. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.What has caused this phenomenon is that we do not have time for art — we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work but most of us rarely, if ever, went to see a live performance, let alone visited a gallery. And reading poetry? Perhaps not since high school.Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison. But this is a mistake. The arts might be the single most in-depth experience you will ever be given to explore the nature and meaning of life. And if you make time to consume and produce art, you will find your life become fuller and happier.Some philosophers address the problem of life consumed by work and material pursuits. They argue that art provides relief from this routine, expanding our perspective and bringing us closer to true reality.Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture. Chances are that it probably stimulated (刺激) a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.If you are among those who feel that art is “pure pleasure to experience and participate in,” you might see it the same way you see eating out, or skydiving: as a luxury (奢侈品) item in your limited budgets of time and money. As such, it probably gets the same sort of treatment as any minor hobby. Don’t make this error. Treat art more like exercise or sleep: a necessit y for a life full of deep satisfaction.12. What does paragraph 1 focus on?A．The opinion of U.S. adults about art.B．The types of art that U.S. adults engage with.C．The mismatch between value and behaviour as to art.D．The connection between everyday experiences and art.13. What is a mistaken idea in the author’s opinion?A．Art reveals the nature of life. B．Art gives way to material pursuits.C．Life without art is meaningless. D．Background music is a kind of art.14. What does the author want to convey in paragraph 5?A．Art awakes people’s talents.B．Art improves physical health.C．Art brings us closer to nature. D．Art makes life fuller and happier.15. What might be the best title?A．Art: A Habit, Not a Luxury B．Art: A Bridge, Not a BarrierC．Art: A Decoration, Not a Reality D．Art: A Pleasure, Not a BurdenCrab traps (蟹笼) work like this: crabs crawl in, but they don’t crawl out. 16 However, when traps get lost at sea, they become a threat to all sorts of animals.With no one there to ge t them back, the traps continue to fish, says a researcher. “Marine life gets into the trap. Eventually, they can’t eat so they die, and then other marine life becomes attracted to it. They get into the trap, and they die. 17 ”Abandoned crab traps harm wildlife and affect other fishers, especially shrimpers (捕虾者). Large and heavy crab traps get caught in shrimping nets, tearing them open or blocking them from catching shrimp. Helpless shrimpers, with nowhere to put the smelly traps, generally just throw them back, continuing the cycle.But a group in Mississippi has found a solution: 18 In just three years, the program has removed almost 3,000 crab traps from Mississippi waters. Crab traps are marked, and those that are still in good condition are returned to their owners, while traps that are too broken down are recycled.19 Wildlife is safer, the water is cleaner and there’s been a clear trend that shrimpers are encountering fewer traps.Chloé Dubois, head of a nonprofit focused on marine debris (废弃物), calls it “a great success story.” Dubois says there have been programs historically very successful at recycling waste products at the end of their life cycle.
