Yet, with dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow blindness when exposed to several hours of snow light.The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in asnow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes often find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid (液体) which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see clearly, and the result is total, even though for a short time, snow blindness.Experiments led the army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts (侦察员) ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men following can then see something. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to look at, stop searching the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.34.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The whiteness from snow.B.Snow light and snow blindnessC.The need for dark glassesD.Headaches and watering eyes35.Snow-blindness can be avoided___________.A.by covering the eyeballs withe more and more tearsB.by walking ahead and keep looking aroundC.by making up for the discomfort of one’s eyesD.by providing the eyes with something to focus on36.What is the best title for this passage?A.Snow-blindness:what it is and whom it influenceB.Snow-blindness:what it is and how nature helpsC.Snow-blindness:how it forms and how to solve itD.Snow-blindness:how it forms and whom it hurts37.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.Solving the problem of snow-blindness is important in armyB.Snow-blindness was once a big problem but could be cured easilyC.The glare from snow is considered as the main cause of snow-blindnessD.Armies around the world pay attention to the problems of snow-blindness四、词汇运用1.More and more people use __________(电子的)instead of cash now.2.The government has done a lot to prevent this kind of disease from being ________(传播).3.The man of medium height was charged with __________(偷) a valuable necklace the other day.4.I’m sorry you are _______(完全)wrong.You’ve mistaken Lucy for Lily.5.It won’t be easy to reach an ________(agree) with their company,but we have to try our best.6.The fish will be much _________(taste) if you put some sugar in it.7.There is an old saying, “___________(proud) goes before a fall”.8.It was a great pity that the old man’s _________(serve) to the mountain area were never known by people.五、动词填空1.He didn’t even mention the difficulty he had at that time_________(control)the moving train.2.So far,not only the highways but also the railway___________(connect)the two cities.3.---How was your flight to Hainan?---Couldn’t be worse.We__________(keep) at the airport for five hours.4.If I ________(take) a rest when he comes,please ask him to wait for a while in my office.5.What a great pity it is_________(hear) that so many famous Brazilian footballers died in the air crash onNovember 28,2016.6.Nothing else________(appear)on the screen until I click on it.Look,I’m clicking now.7.---Why were the whole family away from Wuxi last week?---Well,the mother,as well as her sons,__________(try)out for the singing program.8.I’m sure the bag my cousin bought in Shanghai__________(wash) easily.六、任务型阅读Some people believe that greed(贪婪) and selfishness has become the main theme of modern society and we should return to the old traditions of family and community in order to have a better life.In this fast-paced(快节奏的)world,many values are experiencing great changes.While people traditionally caring,sharing and generosity the most important things in life and work,modern people seem to be moreself-centered.Modern people act selfishly to survive the highly competitive world.To survive,you have to fight with whatever ways you can think of.Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas.In a company,workers do everything they can to get better pay and higher position,even if it means their workmates will lose a lot because of this.They are not born cold-blooded;it is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way because of outside influences.To be honest,it is hard to say that modern society is build on greed and selfishness,both of which are not newly invented vocabulary.In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things that people in the past faced less pressure compared with the modern environment.Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them?There is no fixed answer either.Some people great pleasure helping and giving to others while others fell happy doing the opposite.But I personally think that people should not be too selfish.Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a win-win relationship.1.若干年后，他真后悔一开始没有采纳他爸爸的建议。

Valleyview Sculptors’ Society Group Exhibition is on from Tuesday to Sunday.BOne of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected(可疑的) police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.Vicki Brown,30,played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt.Vicki,who has worked atthe Royal Hotel for four years,told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly.Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.She said:"I was very nervous.But when I opened the hotel door and saw20armed policemen linedup in thecar park I was so glad they were there.”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious(怀疑)of the guest who checked in at3pm theday before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulleddown over his face.She said :“He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact(接触).”Vicki,the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret,64,and husband Stan McKale,65,who phoned the police at11pm.Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston,Gateshead,at about11:30pm to make sure that this was the wanted man.Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every15minutes.“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said‘Wouldyou go a nd make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’.My heart missed a beat.”Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor roomand handedover the key.“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel,so I went to watch.I couldnot see intothe man’s room,but I could see the passage.The police kept shouting at the man tocome out with his hands showing.Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed(带上手铐).”28 Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because__________.A.the police called herB.he looked very strangeC.he came to the hotel with little luggageD.he came to the hotel the day before New Year’s Eve29 David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in________.A.the passageB.the man’s roomC.Vicki’s bedroomD.the top floor room30 The whole event probably lasted about_______hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotelto thearrival of some armed officers.A.6B.8C.11D.14CSome time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth--so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said,“Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?”“Twenty pounds,”I said.“OK,”he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.”“It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.”“I’ll buy it,” I said.“What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.”“You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped.“I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.”“You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you repair this chair for me?’”“I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enoughmoney in it and too much trouble. But I’II repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.31 We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_______.A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair32 The expression "the penny dropped" in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper_______.A. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer’s purposeD. decided to help the writer33 How much did the writer pay?A. ￡5.B. ￡7.C. ￡20.D. ￡27.DThe father’s role in the family is important. One researcher says babies who are cared for by their fathers have greater cognitive (认知的) development at one year of age than babies not cared for by their fathers. Another researcher reports that by spending time with their pre-school children, fathers can help to develop children’s language ability. Researchers also point out that for school-age children, fathers are one bridge with the outside world.Fathers who value (重视) education have children who do better in school than those children whose fathers don’t value education. What’s more, fathers who spend quality time with their children may give their children happy memories which may last a lifetime.While each father is a unique person who educates children in his own style, good fathers have something in common.Good fathers attend their children’s school activities. They also involve the children in their lives and the adult world by taking them to see the workplace, or by taking them when the car needs to be repaired, etc.Good fathers expect a great deal from their children, but also accept and support the unique individuals (个体) that their children are becoming.Good fathers prefer explanations and reasoning to force.Good fathers know their time with children is really an investment (投资) in them.Being an involved father is good for children and good for fathers. Both children and fathers have the chance for growth and development. Today’s lifestyles are changing. More and more fathers are keeping a balance between their personal life, work, and family time.34 The passage is mainly about _________.A. how to be a qualified fatherB. the growth and development of both fathers and childrenC. the father’s role in the growth and development of childrenD. the change of the father’s role in modern societyC. does everything without considering others’ ideasD. tries to do everything well36 Which of the following statements is CORRECT according to the passage?A. Good fathers attend their children’s school activities but never take them to their workplace.B. Good fathers expect a great deal from their children and force them to work hard.C. Good fathers try to make it clear to their children that staying with their fathers is an investment.D. Good fathers improve themselves when they spend time with their children.37 According to the passage, father’s involvementin their children’s lives may NOT lead to _________.A. the good fate(命运) of their childrenB. better reading levels of their childrenC. happy memories which may last a lifetimeD. greater cognitive development of their children四、词汇运用(A)根据句意和汉语注释, 写出单词的正确形式。

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.

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.
