I was married and still young. Only 10 days earlier, my wife gave birth to our first child.The day before, we had been on the road showing off our baby to all of the grandparents and great-grandparents. It had been a busy and hard Christmas on my wife, who was still recovering from giving birth. Then we were back in our house, trying to get some more sleep before starting the day.Just then I heard Barry (our little boy) waking up. I went over and picked him up before he started to cry and then carefully walked out into the living room so my wife could keep sleeping. I picked up a bottle and sat in a chair with Barry in my arms. I fed him in the darkroom while he looked up at me with his loving eyes. I spoke quietly to him, but also felt a little fear as I watched him. How was I going to take care of him? I was still in school and had no idea what the future held in store for us. I rocked back and forth(来回摇晃) in my chair.After a few minutes, I saw the sun slowly rising in the sky outside my window. The bright light shining down from the sky made the snow outside shine with a beauty that touched my soul. As I watched it, my fear left and I felt a feeling of peace, harmony(和谐), love, and joy. The Christmas spirit appeared in my heart and I smiled. I knew then that whatever the future held, it would be okay as long as I kept love in my heart.28．The name of the writer’s first child is ________.A．William B．Larry C．Louis D．Barry29．In Paragraph 3, the writer did all the things for the baby EXCEPT ________.A．pick the baby up B．walk into the living room with the baby C．feed the baby D．take a shower for the baby30．We can infer from the passage that ________.A．the writer was afraid of his sonB．the new baby wasn’t lovely at allC．the Christmas 33 years ago was very hard for the new parentsD．the writer was not well-prepared to take care of the new baby at first31．What is the story mainly about?A．The writer’s regrets about having a child early.B．The writer’s memory of becoming a father.．．D．四、补全对话7选5五、阅读回答问题请阅读下列材料，并根据文章内容回答问题。

I wanted to share China’s coffee culture with Americans.Reporter: Can you tell us more about the history of coffee in China?Yang:Certainly. Coffee was introduced to Yunnan in the 19th century by French missionary (传教士) Alfred Liétard. However, huge production began after 1949, mainly35．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Yang’s Journey: A Taste from China in the Coffee WorldB．Bridging Cultures: Luckin Coffee’s Worldwide MarketingC．Reasons for Popularity: Chinese Coffee at the World StageD．A History of Coffee: From Old Days to the Modern SocietyA hundred years ago, people made wild predictions about 2020. Many were far from true, but looking back helps us understand their influence on technology and innovation (创新).The idea of firefighters with wings, dressed up like bats to work, although not achieved, shows our ongoing love for flight and its possible uses. Drones (无人机) and flying machines are now important in industries like firefighting. Without winged firefighters, using flight for real-life purposes has become a reality, showing our ability to create new things.Another prediction was using trained sea animals for transportation, with people riding huge, saddle-equipped whales or seahorses through the waves. While we haven’t used these amazing creatures for travel, our connection with sea life has grown. We focus on caring for and protecting these animals, which leads to progress in marine (海洋的) biology. Our playful imagination with sea life has inspired underwater exploration and travel innovations, showing our interest in the natural world.The idea of a fully automated (全自动的) education system was also suggested, where students would wear strange headgear (装置) that sent information directly into their brains, making them wise at once. We haven’t reached a world where information can be sent into our brains through technology, but we learned to use high-tech tools to improve education. The internet has changed education by providing lots of information for everyone, and online learning applications increase our chances for receiving knowledge, showing how technology can improve our lives.However, some predictions have come true. One of them was mobile homes. Imagined as moving houses on wheels, complete with gardens and rooms, these fun homes have become the modern RVs (房车) we know today. With people choosing to live and travel in RVs, enjoying a mobile lifestyle, this prediction has led to creative mobile living solutions, from tiny homes to fancy RVs, showing our dreams for convenience and freedom.Looking back on these funny ideas about the future helps us value our achievements andgreatly drive our present innovations. As we keep pushing the limits of what’s possible, let’s be inspired by the dreams of those before us and work towards a future that benefits everyone.36．Which of the following is the prediction that has come true?A．B．C．D．37．The writer’s main purpose of writing the passage is to encourage us to ________.A．improve the predictions from the past B．show the power of human imagination C．only focus on progress in technology D．work on a future that benefits everyone 38．According to the passage, we can infer that ________.A．people in the past made predictions about most fields of our lifeB．humans have successfully trained sea animals for transportationC．both true and untrue predictions have influenced our life todayD．online learning applications can make students wise at once39．Which of the following shows the right structure (结构) of the passage?①Winged firefighters and flight achievements②Freedom and the rise of mobile homes③Role of technology in improving education④Value past ideas to benefit the future⑤Trained sea animals and marine biologyA．B．C．D．四、补全对话7选5五、阅读回答问题阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题，In the same way that humans have a need to communicate, animals have it to send and receive messages as well. This communication may be to tell others where food is or to show feelings such as happiness, sadness, or anger.But how do animals communicate? According to a study carried out in 1898 by a scientist called Char, there are usually three ways for them to communicate.For example, if a monkey notices a snake, it will give an alarm call for the other monkeys to climb into the trees. If the monkey notices an eagle, it will send loud noise to tell other monkeys to get close to the ground. Dolphins have a special way that works as a whistle for it to communicate. This whistle is similar to the singing voice of humans! The second way七、同义句转化九、短文语境提示填空十、材料作文62．尼采曾说，一个人知道自己为什么而活，就可以忍受任何一种生活。

They sent for some workers to build agarden. What’s worse, it caused a lot of trouble.The son, Jack Green, once asked the father, “Dad, why not move the rock away? Many cars and trucks passing by the garden 12 from hitting on the rock by accident.”“Oh, you mean that 13 rock? It’s 1.4 meters wide and it must be very heavy. You know it’s lots of work if you want to do that. As long as I pay attention to driving, the rock won’t be a problem,” answered the father.Time went quickly. Jack got married and became a father. One day, his wife shouted at him, “Jack, I can’t 14 the rock out there any longer! My truck hit on the rock again. We must move it away!”Jack replied to his wife, “Forget it! If we could move the rock away at my young age, how can it remain here now?”Jack’s answer is just like adding oil to a 15 . His wife got angrier and thought to herself, “My truck will never hit on the rock another time. I will do that on my own.” The next morning, Jack’s wife carried a hoe (锄头) and a large bucket of water towards the big rock. She really wanted to dig the whole rock out so she could look at it 16 to find out how large it was. First, she watered the earth around the rock. Then, she stuck her hoe into the earth and began to dig. She had expected that it would take at least half a week to dig it out, 17 it only took her one day. In front of the whole rock, she felt surprised. The part that Jack and his father had seen was 18 of the rock. The part under the earth was not as big as they thought. They had been 19 by its look for such a long time.Sometimes what’s in our way is not the rock in the eyes but the rock in the 20 . 11．A．outside B．across C．above D．under 12．A．shut off B．broke down C．used up D．moved away 13．A．shining B．soft C．large D．cold 14．A．find B．afford C．sense D．stand 15．A．fire B．dish C．bowl D．water 16．A．suddenly B．carefully C．happily D．angrily 17．A．so B．because C．if D．but 18．A．most B．all C．half D．little19．A．educated B．punished C．fooled D．lost 20．A．heart B．process C．memory D．past三、阅读单选21．Jenny can do some shopping at ________ at Macy’s store this weekend.A．9:00 a.m.B．9:30 a.m.C．10:30 p.m.D．11:30 p.m. 22．According to the information of 2F, which of the pictures is the most suitable for________?A．B．C．D．23．Father’s Day is coming. If you want to buy your father a T-shirt, you can go to ________.A．Second Floor B．First Floor C．Ground Floor D．First BasementWith large heads, dark circles around the eyes, no neck, a pear-shaped body, fat legs and short arms, pandas, the cutest animals in the world, are not only a national treasure, but are loved around the world. Do you know these super stars on social media recently?He Hua who looks like a triangle rice ball is also called Huahua by her fans. It’s interesting that she regards Guolai as her own name instead of Huahua. Every time her panda keeper shouts “Guolai!” which means “Come here!” in Sichan dialect (方言), she always thinks he is calling her and runs to get her bamboo or snacks.Meng Lan at Beijing Zoo gets popular for his naughty behavior. The bear has tried several times and successfully “broken through” the fence in the zoo, shocking visitors with his “kung fu skills” and attracting a large number of fans. The sunny boy has lots of hobbies, such as climbing trees, digging and feeding birds.Qizai, one of the most popular pandas in the Qinling Mountains, had a sad childhood. His mother left him because he was born to be brown and white, and the staff worked hard to bring him back. Researchers are not sure why Qizai has a different color. But with “limited skin”, he will make the wish of the panda family come true — to take a color photo.24．He Hua thinks her name is ________.A．Huahua B．Guolai C．Meng Lan D．Qizai 25．Meng Lan is interested in ________.①climbing trees①digging①eating snacks①feeding birdsA．①①①B．①①①C．①①①D．①①①26．Qizai’s mother left him because ________.A．his color is different from other pandas B．he likes to climb over the fence and run awayC．he can’t make her wish for a color photo come true D．the staff of the zoo can help her to look after Qizai27．You will probably read the passage in the magazine ________.A．Science Today B．My Travel Diary C．Magic Animal World D．China Sports NewsCatch the fish and then forget the net. This is one of my Chinese teacher’s favorite Chinese idioms (习语), Deyuwangquan. It comes from Zhuangzi and the meaning of it is that you are used to getting help from others but don’t show your thanks to them.When I studied this idiom in the United States, I read traditional Chinese characters (汉字). The character for “fish” has four dots (点) at the bottom. However, when today’s Chinese students study this idiom, they read simplified (简化的) characters. The character for “fish” only has a line at the bottom. This simplified character is easier to write. However, why are the four dots replaced by a line, rather than something else? And how many of you have thought about this?This simplification of Chinese characters started in the 1950s. The purpose was to improve literacy (文学). Simplified characters are easier for people to read and write.However, they fear that over-simplifying Chinese characters may cause some cultural heritage (遗产) to be lost. The first four dots at the bottom of the character for “fish” come from even older characters. These characters not only mean fish but also look like a fish. There are hundreds of such characters in Chinese. Each of them has a story behind its meaning.Some people have suggested that schools should teach traditional characters. But Chinese is already among the most difficult languages to read and write. To save time, perhaps we should still learn and use simplified characters. However, traditional Chinese characters are valuable and should stay, too. You may take some time to learn about them and the stories behind. In this way, you will help pass down Chinese culture and also have some fun.28．We can use the idiom “Deyuwangquan” to describe ________.A．Linda, who is warm-hearted and always ready to help othersB．Cindy, who always forgets things and makes everything a messC．John, who is interested in fishing but not very good at itD．Bob, who is successful but not thankful to those who helped him29．________ is the traditional character for “fish” which the writer first read in the US.A．B．C．D．30．From the passage, we can learn ________.A．Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to read and writeB．the simplification of Chinese characters started in the 1960sC．it takes more time to write simplified Chinese charactersD．it’s meaningless to pass down traditional Chinese characters31．The passage mainly tells us something about ________.A．Chinese history B．Chinese idioms C．Chinese characters D．Chinese teachersDoes the university you attend or the major (专业) you choose decide your success in the future? According to a recent survey, 48.6% of the people believe that the university plays an important role in shaping their future. But 33.8% of the people think one’s major is more important.Fu Xi is a student at Peking University, one of the top universities in China. He thinks his university does bring many unseen advantages. “If I had no academic (学术的) training or experiences of different clubs in college, I wouldn’t have successfully got my first internship (实习) in a leading bank,” Fu told the reporter from China Youth Daily. As for him, students could improve their abilities through internships or academic activities to make themselves ready for a job or further studies, no matter which major they choose.However, Chen Yufei, 20 years old, who studies Japanese at Tianjin University, doesn’t think so. ▲ After getting lower scores than expected in Gaokao, Chen lost the chance to study her favorite major — Chinese. “Having no interest in Japanese, I felt unhappy when taking Japanese classes in the first year,” Chen said. Later, she had problems in finding her dream job. “Different majors will lead to different jobs which finally lead to different incomes (收入),” Chen added. She thinks that even students who major in Japanese at well-known universities will most probably make less money than those who major in computer science.Both the university and one’s major are important, but they don’t necessarily decide your life, according to Chu Zhaohui, a professional researcher of the National Institute of Education Sciences. “For students, personal development is closely connected with their performance in the university,” Chu said.32．From Paragraph 2, we know that ________.A．Fu Xi is really thankful to his universityB．Fu Xi doesn’t enjoy working in a leading bankC．Fu Xi can succeed, no matter what university he choosesD．Fu Xi dislikes his major, but he tries to improve his abilitiesA．She believes she should study computer science instead of Japanese.B．She believes both university and major are the key to one’s success.C．She believes that a right major has much more weight than a good university.D．She believes whatever your major is, you must study hard.34．In the last paragraph, Chu Zhaohui’s words are mentioned to ________.A．teach students how to choose a good major and universityB．show what students think about the survey is reasonableC．tell students that one’s future depends on his major and universityD．advise students to pay more attention to what they do in the university35．The writer develops the whole passage by ________.A．telling stories B．listing numbers C．raising questions D．sharing opinions①Scientists know that our weight, mental health and blood pressure are connected to our sleep habits. So are your grades — a new study finds. It showed that sleep caused nearly one-fourth of the difference among students’ grades in a class. And sleep habits seemed to have a bigger influence on boys.①Jeffrey Grossman, a scientist at the Massachusetts University wanted to study sleep in the real conditions. To find out if sleep connects performance in exams, his team turned to Fitbits — wrist bands (手环) which can follow how long people sleep and how often they wake up.①The high technology product helps his study. The researchers invited 100 around 18-year-old students. Each got a Fitbit to wear all term long. At the end of the term, the researchers checked the students’ sleep data (数据) and then compared it with the students’ test scores. They got to know the importance of sleep for students.①The researchers found that teens who woke up very often during the night were likely to perform poorly. The same went for those who didn’t get enough sleep. But how much someone slept the night before an exam had nothing to do with the person’s grade. So, is staying up late studying before the big test OK? No! That’s because there was another thing: consistency of sleep a week and even a month before an exam. That means a student who sleeps 7 hours every night will do better than a student who sleeps 7.5 hours one night and 6.5another night.①Sleep hours, quality and consistency together caused 24.4% of the difference among the students’ test grades. What’s more, they are especially important for boys. The researchers are not sure why. But they found a boy who didn’t get good sleep might do worse in an exam than a girl who had the similar sleep quality.①According to the process and results of the research, helping students get more sleep partly depends on schools starting their days later. But more importantly, students themselves must have a clear idea of the importance of good sleep. That may require getting more sleep and cutting down late evening use of phones and other screens. Even if you have plenty of after-school activities, schoolwork and a social life, you still need to get your sleep. 36．The underlined word “consistency” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.A．behaving in a short time B．behaving in the same wayC．behaving in the right order D．behaving in different forms 37．According to the passage, we can infer (推断) that ________.A．students with different quality of sleep have no difference in gradesB．students who sleep for more hours before the exam must have higher gradesC．students should play an active part in developing good sleeping habitsD．students staying up before a big exam can’t make a good result in grades38．The structure of the passage is ________.A．B．C．D．39．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Is Sleep Quality Important?B．Does Sleep Influence Grades?C．Is 7.5 Hours of Sleep Enough?D．Does Sleep Depend on Schoolwork?四、补全对话7选5A: Hello, this is Sunshine Store.

Do you know why Gaoshan Liushui is often played in many occasions (场合)? It has something to do with “zhiyin” culture, which values close friendship. Do you know the story behind it? It’s the story of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi in the Warring States Period.Boya was good at playing the guqin. One day, he was playing music on his way home on the boat, To Boya’s surprise, Ziqi, a woodcutter who happened to pass by, could understand exactly what he wanted to express through his music. After a long talk, they became good friends. Since Boya had to return to his state, they agreed to meet again in the following year.Unluckily, when getting back to visit Ziqi, Boya heard that his friend had died from an illness. Boya was so sad. In front of Ziqi’s tomb (墓), he played again the music he had played when they first met. The feeling of the music was so strong that it was as if the rivers and the mountains were crying. When finishing playing, Boya broke his guqin into pieces. From then on, Boya never played again. But the famous music piece Gaoshan Liushui he played for his friend has been passed down.“Zhiyin” culture has new development in the new period. And Gaoshan Liushui is performed in many important occasions. The musical performance not only shows the beauty of Chinese traditional culture, but also expresses China’s willingness to develop its friendship with people from around the world.24．The writer starts the passage by ________.A．giving examples B．listing numbers C．asking questions D．comparing facts25．Boya and Ziqi became good friends because ________.A．they often went out on the boat B．they often cut wood togetherC．Ziqi could understand Boya’s music D．they often played music together 26．From the passage, we can know that ________.A．Boya actually only met Ziqi once B．Boya died because of an illness C．Boya often played the guqin in memory of Ziqi D．Boya and Ziqi were both good at playing the guqin27．Gaoshan Liushui is often performed ________.A．to express love to whom you love B．to show willingness to develop friendshipC．to warn people of coming danger D．to recall the deepest wounds from heartI was born in the United States, in Brooklyn, New York. When I was a child, it was always a treat to visit my favorite pizza place, Grimaldi’s on weekends. Despite long lines—up to 45 minutes for a table, everyone was waiting patiently, foil of expectation. Once inside, I knew I’d enjoy one of the best pizzas.Pizza was invented in Italy in 1889 when Queen Margherita paid a national visit. To impress the queen, someone was asked to create a pizza. Of the three pizzas he created, the queen strongly preferred a pie covered in the colors of the Italian flag, which was then named after the queen as Pizza Margherita.Outside of Italy, I think there are only two other places that make great pizza. One is my hometown, New York, the world’s pizza capital and the other is Chicago. Chicago’s deep-dish pizza is different, but still delicious. In fact, pizza’s influence has gone global. You can find it in almost any country these days. People in different places add their own ingredients (原材料). For example, in Hawaii, people put pineapple on it.It has come to China with companies like Pizza Hut, bringing the food to the country. In my eyes, Pizza Hut was never as good as the wonderful pizzas I have tasted in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. It doesn’t matter where it’s made or who makes it. The secret is fresh dough, thick potato sauce and good cheese. As long as it is cooked right, if 11 always taste good.▲ “When you think of pizza, you think of getting together with friends and family and enjoying a delicious meal,” Bill, the chief editor of PMQ pizza magazine, told CNN.Whenever I’m visiting my hometown, I stop at Grimaldi’s to get some of their delicious pizza. If you’re in New York, stop by and try it yourself.28．________ is considered the world’s pizza capital.A．Nanjing B．New York C．Hawaii D．Chicago 29．We can use the underline word “ _______ ” to describe something that happens in all parts of the world.A．despite B．impress C．global D．dough 30．Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ ?A．The invention of pizza is interesting.B．Pizza has a special power.C．Pizza has become popular in China.D．It’s not easy to make a pizza. 31．According to the writer, we can know that at Grimaldi’s, ________.A．you can add your own ingredients to pizzaB．you have to make pizza by yourselfC．you can hear the story about Queen MargheritaD．you have to wait for long to enjoy delicious pizza“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for all of Paris is a moveable feast (流动的盛宴).”Moveable FeastErnest Hemingway Recently I read Moveable Feast by Hemingway. He looked back at his young but poor writing lives in Paris which were really an unforgettable memory. Many people say that looking back is meaningless because it can neither change the past nor bring it back to life, but I disagree as I enjoy the sense of nostalgia (怀旧感), which can remind me of how life used to be when I was younger.As we know, there are moments when the past springs into the present. It’s often a smell or touch that will remind me of a particular place or person. A soft little cat, the sweet smell of a flower, baking bread, old books…they all create a fresh picture. We moved so many times when 1 was younger and each time the first thing my parents would do is to decorate (装饰) our bedrooms. The windows would be kept open to let the smell of the paint out but it would always remain for days which I even remember today.Those memories are flying. But when I visit the seaside village where we used to spend many of our family holidays, I can replay all old days in my head. I can clearly remember the weather, the salty smell of the sea, our dogs playing in the water, an ice cream and that feeling of excitement after a day in the fresh air.Although having many photos of those days, I seldom look at them as I prefer to allow my memory to create the pictures. Today we can so easily record the present with phones and cameras, upload the images and share the moment with our friends online. But, for me, that somehow takes away the feeling and creation.32．From the book Moveable Feast, we can know ________.A．Hemingway had never been to Paris beforeB．Hemingway had a hard and poor life after leaving ParisC．Hemingway’s life in Paris left him some unforgettable memoriesD．Hemingway used to live a rich but boring life in Paris33．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.A．the smell of the paint B．a fresh pictureC．the first thing my parents would do D．a little cat34．The writer would choose to ________ to recall his memories.A．look at the photos on the phone B．share the moment with friends online C．watch the videos he recorded D．create pictures in his mind35．From the passage, we can see that the writer is a person ________.A．who doesn’t like reading at all B．who has a very terrible childhood C．who values the old memories D．who prefers to stay in the same place Recently, I’ve read a research report which suggests that having a pet is good for children. It’s impossible for my children to read this, which is lucky for me, because it would give them support for the ongoing “Can we get a dog, or a cat?” argument.A study published in JAMA Pediatrics shows that children who had a dog in their first year of life can have less chance of developing asthma (哮喘) by the time they were six than those from dog-free families. It is believed that children are more likely to develop allergies (过敏) if they grow up in super-clean environments.It is reported that 46% of families in the UK have pets, with dogs and then cats the most common animals. The evidence which shows the advantages of having pets is not always the same, but some research still shows that pets make children healthier. A study of 397 babies in 2012 found that, during their first year of life, those whose parents had dogs or cats had fewer colds than those from homes without pets. Dogs offered more protection than cats. The researchers think this is because they brought in more dirt from outside to cause the babies’ immune systems (免疫系统) to work well.The research shows that having a pet may make children feel more popular and be more understanding. Older studies found that pets increased the amount of time families spent together as well as the amount of “fun” they had.Pets can help children to learn about responsibility as well. Brush the fur, clean the place they sleep, feed them, take more exercise (if you get a dog) and deal with loss — who can forget when their family pet got a car accident?So keeping pets is really good for improving children’s health and their qualities. However, I still can’t ignore the trouble pets may bring- After all, both dogs and cats poop (大便) at home, and they can carry worms or other parasites (寄生虫). Also, it seems that few children look after the animals they repeatedly asked their parents for.36．According to the research, children can ________ when they have pets at home. A．completely stay away from asthma B．live in a super-clean environment C．get better grades at school D．be more responsible37．What can we infer from the passage?A．Few families in the UK keep pets.B．All families will choose to keep pets at home.C．Children hardly ever share the care of pets with parents.D．The writer won’t allow her children to keep a pet at home.38．The structure of the passage may be ________.A．B．C．D．39．The best title of the passage is ________.A．Keep Pets, Good or Not?B．Keep Pets, Safe or Not?C．More Pets, More Responsibility!D．No Pets, No Illness!四、补全对话7选5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。
