It was a cold afternoon. I was training a soccer team of first-graders. It was the day of our first practice.I sat with the kids on a long beach in the grass.

Each kid needs to say his own name and the names of all the kids sitting to the left of him.A few minutes later, I decided to put the kids to a test. Alex was chosen to start at the end of the bench, go up to each kid, say that kid’s 12 and then shake his right hand.Alex was doing well, and he went down the row—Dylan, Micah, David and Beau –until he 13 Ben. He said Ben’s name and reached out his right hand, but Ben just 14 there, his right hand 15 in his jacket.“Ben, why don’t you let Alex shake your hand?” I asked. Ben stood up, and said, “But I don’t have that 16 .” He pulled his jacket away from his right shoulder.Ben’s arm ran from his right shoulder but his arm 17 at the elbow (胳膊肘). No forearm, no hand, no fingers.I was shocked and couldn’t think of 18 to say, but the little kids were unwilling to hide their curiosity.“Look at that,” said Alex.“Hey, what happened to your arm?” another kid asked. “Does it hurt?”Ben took off his jacket to 19 the kids what they all wanted to see.

The film will hit cinemas on March18.DiCarprio’s career took off when he played the romantic lead in Titanic. That film could have easily been the high point of any actor’s filmography.People focaus on his face more than his acting. An article on yahoo! Movies showed the reasons why DiCarprio could not win an Oscar, saying, “Since the huge success in Titanic, he’s had to work extra hard to choose difficult, less showy roles to escape from his pretty face.”Known as one of the pickiest (挑剔的) actors, he always chooses to work with more challenging productions. He tries different roles and in the film The Revenant, he needed to endure (忍受) sub-zero temperatures for seven months. An article in Life Week wrote, “Compared with DiCarprio’s terrible experience in the Revenant, Robinson Crusoe’s adventure seems as easy and comfortable as a vacation.”The efforts were thought highly by both the public and the Academy. Having finally earning the US top acting award, the actor is now turning to dream of producing films.But of course acting still plays the most important part in his life. “The award itself is not why you do these films. You do them because if you love the art form……I did that piece of work, and I gave it everything I could while I was there.” He said.( ) 26. According to the passage, the reason why DiCarprio could not het the award earlier was that __________.A. he didn’t put his heart into actingB. the academy might pay more attention to his appearance than his actingC. he didn’t find a good scrip tD. the film Titanic did not make him famous( ) 27. The sentence “However, the film also gave him a name of pretty boy.” Should be put at the beginning of _____________.A. Paragraph 2B. Paragraph 3C. Paragraph 4D. Paragraph 5( ) 28. Which of the following slangs can be best describe DiCarprio’s success?A. All roads lead to Rome.B. A good beginning is half done.C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.D. A man can do no more he can.CToo many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; ne generous; be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship le to trust starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s heart. Good friends always depend on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with each other. Somethingmay go wrong at school. Talking about the problem cam make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so that you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.( ) 29. Some friendships don’t last long because ____________________.A. there are too many people who want to make friendsB. some people receive friendship but don’t give friendship backC. those who give others friendship receive friendship from othersD. they don’t know friendship is something serious( ) 30. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?A. Always tell your friends the truthB. Sharing your mind with your friends is of great valueC. Discussing your problems with your friends often helps to solve the problem.D. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend( ) 31. The best title of this passage is ____________.A. Honesty Is the Best PolicyB. A Friend in Need Is a Friend IndeedC. How to Be FriendsD. Three Important Points in LifeDAlbert Einstein is right once again! The physicist though of the idea about gravitational waves (引力波) 100 years ago with his Theory of Relativity (相对论), but scientists are finally discovering proof of it now. but what are gravitational waves, and why are they important?Well, gravitational waves are made by black holes and can change time in space. Black holes are not holes but are a lot of matter packed into a very small area, according toNASA. They are created when a star, much like our sun, explodes (爆炸) and leaves behind this dense (稠密的) material. It doesn’t shine like a star any more, and it becomes black.The black holes that made these waves are special. About 1.3 billion years ago, there were black holes that kept moving closer and closer together. Finally, they crashed into each other and formed a big black hole. The energy released (释放) by the crash created ripples (涟漪) in space. These ripples are gravitational waves.Imagine you throw a stone in a pond. It creates ripples that change the pattern of the water. Well, that’s kind of what the impact (冲击力) of two colliding (碰撞) black holes has in space.Gravitational waves are hard to feel. A special gravitational wave an observatory (天文台) called LIGO discovered the ripples on Feb 11. Einstein was great to know this 100 years ago, before we had the technology.This is important because it can give us a new view of the universe we live in, according to LIGO scientists. Now, we will be able to discover black holes and things that are much further away from earth, which means much more space exploration in the future. And who knows, this discovery could even lead to time travel.( ) 32. Which of the following about gravitational waves is not true?A. Albert Einstein know about them.B. They were found 100 years ago.C. They were made by black holes.D. They can change time in space.( ) 33. What does the underlined “They” in Paragraph 2 refers to?A. Gravitational waves.B. Black holes.C. Stars.D. Different materials.( ) 34. What does Paragraph 3 talk about?A. How black holes are formed.B. Why are black holes black.C. How gravitational waves are created.D. Why gravitational waves are important.( ) 35. The discovery of gravitational waves can help people ___________.A. understand the pattern of the waterB. set up a special observatoryC. learn more about the universeD. travel anywhere freely四、任务型阅读（本题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）Fighting online crimesNowadays, more and more affairs are moved online. So are crimes. Although many efforts have been made to fight against crimes, the problem is still growing more serious. The best way to stay away from online crimes is to protect yourselves.Here are six ways that you have to learn with your family to avoid being victims of online crimes.Keep your passwords safe. We can understand that you want your passwords to be easy to remember, but that may put your computer or even your money at risk. One hacker (黑客) reported that weak passwords made it easier for him to enter the most secured websites. A safe password should contain at least eight characters, including numbers, letters, and symbols. And don’t let others use your passwords. If you have to do it, change your password as soon as possible.Go low tech. if you have a sheet of passwords or any other private digital file (电子文档), remember to keep it in your old computer or another computer which is not connected to the Internet. If you don’t have an extra computer, encrypt (加密) the files.Use two places. Prepare a backup copy (备份) for your most important files so that you won’t lose everything if your computer is attacked.Keep 38 bad sites. Visiting only the trusted sites can highly reduce the risks of being attacked online.Don’t fall for pop-ups. If an email or pop-up window (弹窗) asks you to enter your passwords, don’t do it. Instead, visit the official website directly. Big companies never ask you to enter your information through an email.Stick to the bottom line. Worries about bank accounts often make people the victims ofonline attack. Check your bank account regularly to make sure that your money is safe. If you have problems, ask for help from the bank.36._________; 37._________; 38._________; 39._________; 40.__________五、词汇（本题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）A. 根据句意及汉语提示，写出各单词的正确形式，每空填一词。

was shaking.The poor little thingwas left behind by his flock（鸟群）.Clearly，he was too young to be able to survive on his own.I placed him in a cardboard box with tea towels.I stayed up all night that day to research how to care for him.The next day，he woke with his mouth wide-open to let out a sharp hunger call.I fed him termites（白蚁）and chirped（叽喳叫）at him.He chirped back，jumped into my hand and then fell asleep in my palm（掌心）.To him，I was a mama bird.For the next 84 days，the cute little thing lived on me.Wherever I went，he would fly alongside me.He would make short flights from my hand to my head and then slide（滑行）down from my long hair to hand to rest again.He wen into hiding in my clothes while I learned his different calls.I never named him because he didn't belong to me—I had to remind myself that he needed to return to the wild.Almost three months later，he was stronger，more confident and flying farther from me.His flock returned to the grasslands.It was time for him to go.Before I flew back to England in November for the holiday season，I decided that the bird should be allowed outside to fly daily.I took him out to the flock three times.On the fourth day，the bird flew away with them.When I returned in January，I would watch out for him whenever the finches（雀科小鸟）flew past.I still cry when I think of him.I wrote our story into a book，Fledling.That，along with the

What can we learn from Para.3?A. People used to buy clothes without thinking twice.B.People often buy expensive clothes from the Internet.C. The way people buying clothes causes some clothing waste.D.Over forty thousand tons of clothing in Europe are recycled.48. What's the best title for the text?A. The Meaning of Fast FashionB. The Influences of Fast FashionC. Problems with Fast FashionD. Health problems with Fast Fashion49. What was the writer's feeling about the fast fashion?A. Worried.B. Uninterested.C. Surprised.D. Pleased.答案：BDCCACLong ago in ancient Greece,two cities called Syracuse（锡拉库扎）and Ephesus（以弗所）were enemies.According to the Law made by the Duke（公爵）of Ephesus，any Syracusan found in Ephesus had to pay a large sum of money as a fine or be killed.One day,Aegeon,a businessman from Syracuse，was arrested（逮捕）in Ephesus.He did not have enough money to pay the fine and would be killed.Before that，the Duke asked him why.“My wife and I have twin sons and two boys as their servants（仆人）.The servants are alsotwins.More than twenty years ago，we were caught in a big storm at sea.My wife，my son Antipholus and his servant went missing in the storm.”The man added，“I named my other son and his servant after their missing twin brothers.When they grew up.they left Syracuse to search for their brothers and my wife.But my boys haven't returned home or sent me any letters yet.Therefore，I left home and traveled here in search of news."The Duke took pity on Aegeon.He gave the poor man one day to find someone to pay his fine.Otherwise，he would have to die.In fact，Aegeon's missing son and his servant were indeed in Ephesus.They were living there after being saved from the storm by some fishermen.The son，Antipholus of Ephesus （E.Antipholus）,had become a rich man and married a woman named Adriana.Moreover，in search of their brothers，Antipholus of Syracuse（S.Antipholus）and his servant had also arrived in Ephesus.They learned about the laws of the city and，as a result，put on local clothing.S.Antipholus sent his servant to get a room for them in a local inn（小旅馆）.Just then，E.Antipholus's servant happened to meet S.Antipholus and mistook him for his master.The servant asked him to go home and have dinner with Adriana.S.Antipholus was confused（迷惑的）and refused.After the servant returned home，he told Adriana about his"master's"reply.The woman felt very angry with her“husband”.----Excerpt from The Comed of Errors50.Who had saved E.Antipholus and servant？A.The Duke.B.A woman named Adriana.C.Some businessmen.D.Some fishermen.51.Why did S.Antipholus and his servant put on the local clothing of Ephesus？A.Because they had no other clothes to wear.B.Because any Syracusan would be fined or killed.C.Because the local clothing was more comfortable.D.Because the local people gave them the clothing.52. Why was Adriana so angry?A. Because her "husband"played a trick on her.B. Because her "husband"didn't treat her well.C. Because her"husband"refused to have dinner with her.D. Because her"husband"mistook her for her servant.53. According to the passage, which order is correct?①Aegeon left Syracuse to search for news of his family members.①Aegeon's surviving son and his servant were named after their missing brother.①After the surviving boys grew up, they left home to search for their missing family members.① In a big storm at sea, Aegeon's wife, his son Antipholus and the boy's servant were lost.A.①①①①B.①①①①C.①①①①D.①①①①54.

Antipholus was arrested because he was from Syracusan.D. Adriana met S. Antipholus and thought of him as her husband by mistake.答案：DBCDD五、六选四阅读（共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填在空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项When somebody gets sad，you can cheer him up by offering kindness.For example，you can give him a gift.In fact，giving a gift is more important than the gift itself.___55___Maybe he loves food，so surprise him with dinner，or take him to cooking classes.Of course，a gift doesn't have to cost much，or even be a physical thing.You can take him to your secret place or offer him something you care for.They are often more priceless than something you can buy in a store.To show your kindness，you can also try to make him smile.___56___But you need to remember to tell them at the right time，especially after a long talk.Now you've listened，offered advice and shown your kindness.___57___ Perhaps，you may take him to watch movies，go hiking or listen to rock music together.Don't be sad yourself.If you aren't happy，how can you cheer your friend up？So you can let him know you're not happy when he isn't happy，and you must also show him you are active.Help your friend and do as much as you can so he can feel someone cares about him.This builds trust.___58___Do this，always，happily.答案：EDCA六、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入l个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
