She’d caught me laughing at a piece of mail I’d just opened. “Wake-up service, $2.50 per call.” At the bottom was a phone number and a drawing of a rotary phone, like the one my great- aunt Sara had owned 40 years ago.“Is that mail funny?” Genie asked.“Not really,” I admitted. “It’s just outdated.”“What’s a wake-up call?” She asked. I explained how, before smart-phones, people sometimes paid someone to wake them with a call.“Who sent this flyer（传单）?” she pressed.“Probably someone older,” I said.Her e yes lit up. “Can we order a wake-up?” she asked.“We don’t need it.” I picked it up and headed for the recycling bin.“Wait!” she screamed. “I feel sorry for the wa ke-up man, if he needs some money,” she said, tearing up. “Can’t we order?”I looked at the flyer with its drawing of a rotary phone. I remembered, again, my great-aunt Sara and her rotary phone. As a kid, I’d visited her over Labor Day, when Jerry Lewis w ould host his charity event for the disabled kids. Aunt Sara would squeeze my hand, then reach for the rotary phone, dialing the number on the screen. Holding the receiver between us, we’dannounce to the operator, “We’d like to help those kids.”Now here was my own child, showing the same big heart I’d once been encourage d to have, and how could I ignore her? I googled the flyer’s return address. The address belonged to a man called Raymond. He was in his mid-60s. We called him and, holding the receiver between us, the way Aunt Sara and I used to, told him we needed his services. “Great!” Raymond said in a shaky but friendly voice, clearly amazed at receiving an order from a child.Genie was happy all week. [来Cm]Technology has made some things outdated. But there are still other things the world will always require. In the rush of my daily life, I’d temporarily forgotten that, I guess I just needed a wake-up call.24. Why did Genie beg to order the service?A. She was afraid of being late.B. She wanted to help the old man.C. She was curious about the service.D. She was interested in the rotary phone.25. What made the author finally decide to order a wake-up call?A.

Disappointed.B. Excited.C. Doubtful.D. Regretful.27. What could be the best title for the passage?A. A Wake-up ManB. A Kindhearted GirlC. The Wake-up CallD. The Rotary PhoneCChokwe Selassie, aged 13, is working hard to help drivers avoid potholes(坑洼). The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his creation on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. He decided to do something about the pothole problem in his city. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red. And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you. Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they meet, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. It works by using the city’s 311 call system, and uses information already stored in a database. Through the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems, which include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype（原型）.Although the app isn't yet available for sale,Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The prototype remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther until it's nationwide.28. The passage is mainly about .A. a Solution to Traffic JamsB. an App to Detect PotholesC. pothole Problems in Big CitiesD. Poor Road Conditions29. What’s th e closest meaning of the underlined phrase “kick off” in Paragraph 1 ?A. leaveB. inventC. beginD. change30. How does the app work through the 311 call system?A. By settling non-emergency problems.B. By broadcasting traffic accidents.C. By replying to citizens’ calls.D. By using its information about potholes.31. Which can be Chokwe’s future target?A. Encouraging more kids to create apps.B. Taking part in more learning programs.C. Making the app available for sale online.D. Making the app include streets nationwide.DAccording to German researchers, forcing people to be happy and polite all the time is likely to make them sick. They believe most at risk are air hostesses, call center operators, waiters and other workers in close contact with the public.Professor Dicter Zapf, a researcher into human emotions at Frankfurt University, said false friendliness led to depression, stress and a lowering of the immune(免疫) system. This can lead to more serious illness such as high blood pressure and so on.“Every time a person is forced to repress his true feelings, there are negative consequences for his health,”said Professor Dieter Zapf.In order to reach these conclusions, for over two years, 4,000 volunteers including shopworkers and air hostess, were put in an imaginary call center and abused by customers. Some of the participants were allowed to answer back, while others had to be polite and friendly all the time.Those who stood up to clients(顾客) had a rapid heartbeat for a brief period, but for those who had to remain friendly, their heart was still racing long after the client had hung up.The conclusion reached by the researchers was that“being friendly against one's will causes nothing but stress”.Professor Zapf said, “We are all able to control our emotions, but it bees difficult to do this over a long period as air hostesses are forced to on long flights.”“These people need space away from the passengers where they can be on their own an d let their feelings run free. We have to get away from the ‘customer is king’ attitude and show more respect to those working in the service industries.”32. Who are most at risk when forced to be polite all the time?A. Those connected with the public.B. Those in service industries.C. Those with high blood pressure.D. Those working at the airport.33. According to Professor Dicter Zapf, false friendliness can _____.A. cause conflicts among peopleB. improve people’s relationshipC. control high blood pressureD. lead to more serious illnesses34. What can be inferred from the text?A. About 4000 voluntary students took part in the research.B. Those allowed to answer back had a slow heartbeat.C. Those forced to remain polite are likely to have heart problems.D. Air hostess should be allowed to lose their temper on long flights.35. What is the main purpose of this text?A. To appeal to people to respect those in service industries.B. To persuade people out of working in service industries.C. To tell people to take the “customer is king” attitude.D. To remind people in service industries to control their emotions.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

And each of us, if we live long enough, experiences the loss of persons we loved. Children ages eight through ten were asked what they thought about death,and these are some of their answers:“When you d ie,God takes care of you like your mother did. When you were alive,only God doesn’t yell at you all the time.’’“When you die,they bury you in the ground and your soul goes to heaven,but your body can’t go to heaven because it’s too crowded there already.”“Only the good people go to heaven. The other people go where it’s hot all the time like in Florida. ”“Doctors help you so you won’t die until you pay their bills.”I’ve observed that the loss of a loved one can be one of the most difficult things we humans can face. I’ve known friends of sick and dying people to sit by a bedside or in a hospital room for hours,even days, at a time. I’ve seen food in homes of people who are dying overflow from kitchen to dining room—food brought by comforting friends from church and con cerned neighbours. And I’ve observed friends just listen for as long as it takes.When U.S. Congressman Sam Rayburn discovered that he was ill,he announced to the House of Representatives he was going home to Texas for medical tests. Some wondered why he did not stay in Washington where there were excellent medical facilities. His answer was a beautiful tribute to friendship:”Bonham is a place where people know it when you’re sick,and where they care when you die. ”No one wants to go through difficult times alone. So Rayburn traded the best of medical technology for the closeness of loving friends. He knew that good friends are good medicine.

The excellent medical facilities.D . The development of his home.（4）What’s the best title of the passage?A . Friendship Cannot Stand Always on One Side.B . A Friend Is Easier Lost Than Found.C . True Friendship Lasts Forever.D . Good Friends Are Good Medicine.3. 阅读理解You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain.I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a street lamp,” he said.The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 metres off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.（1）What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph 2?A . His creation was inspired by an experience.B . It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C . Street lamps are protected by canopies.D . He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.（2）Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?A . motor→canopy→sensorsB . sensors→motor→canopyC . motor→sensors→canopyD . canopy→motor→sensors（3）What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?A . Its moving speed.B . Its appearance.C . Its installation.D . Its safety.（4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A . The designer will open a company to promote his product.B . The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.C . The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D . The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.4. 阅读理解Generations of children grew up reading comic books secretly, hiding out from parents and teachers who saw them as a waste of time and a risk to young minds. Comics are now gaining a new respectability at school. That is thanks to an increasingly popular and creative programme, often aimed at struggling readers, that encourages children to plot, write and draw comic books, in many cases using themes from their own lives.The Comic Book Project was started in 2001 by Michael Bitz at an elementary school in Queens. Since its creation, the programme, which is mainly conducted after school, has spread to more than 850 schools across the country. It has gotten a big push from the craze among adolescents for comic book clubs and for Manga, a widly popular variety of comic originating in Japan.The point is not to drop a comic book on a child’s desk and say “read this”. Rather, the workshops give groups of students the opportunity to collaborate on often complex stories and charac-ters that they then revise,publish and share with others in their communities.Teachers are finding it easier to teach writing, grammar and punctuation with material that students are fully invested in. And it turns out that comic books have other built-in advantages. The pairing of visual and written plotlines that they rely on appear to be especially helpful to struggling readers. No one is suggesting that comic books should substitute for traditional books or for standard reading and composition lessons. Teachers who would once have dismissed comics out of hand are learning to exploit a style that clearly has a powerful hold on young minds. They are using what works.（1）Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A . Japanese Comic Books.B . Comic Books in the Classroom.C . Reading Efficiently.D . A Current Craze.（2）The main purpose of the Comic Book Project is to .A . develop the cooperation among adolescentsB . make sure that students live a rich and colourful life after schoolC . help students who have some difficulty in readingD . popularize a new method of teaching （3）It can be inferred that .A . comic books were first used in JapaneseschoolsB . parents have different opinions about their children reading comic booksC . more and more teachers will realize the advan-tages of comic booksD . comic books will be allowed to enter all the schools in the country二、任务型阅读5. 任务型阅读Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes. One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group.________Let’s look at som e different examples of body painting.________Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony takes place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive.________To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults.One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men.________Then they add white and black circles and lines.

investigation by the United States Department of Homeland Security and the Vatican located the letter.“We are returning it to its rightful owner,“said U.S.ambassador to the Vatican,Callista Gingrich,at a ceremony in the Vatican Library.Columbus wrote the letter to the king and queen of Spain after discovering“The New World.”He described what he had found and requested money for another trip.His original letter was written in Spanish.But several copies of a Latin translation were made to spread news of his discovery to the royal courts of Europe and the Pope.One of the Latin letters,copied by Stephan Plannack in1493,was put in the Vatican Library.Known as the Columbus Letter,it has eight pages,each about18.5cm by12cm.In2011,an American expert in raremanuscripts received a similar looking letter.After reviewing it,he decided that it was real.The year before, the same expert had studied a Columbus Letter in the Vatican Library and suspected that it was a fake.One reason was that the stitching(针脚)marks on the letter were not the same as those on the cover.The letter in the United States,however,had the exact same stitching marks as the leather cover of the fake letter he had studied in the Vatican.The expert,who was not identified,contacted Homeland Security art investigators,who began working with Vatican inspectors and rare book experts.They believed that someone took the real letter out of its cover at the Vatican Library and replaced it with an artificial one.Archbishop Jean-Louis Brugues is the Vatican's chief librarian.He said,“We do not know exactly when the substitution took place.We will probably never know who the forger(伪造者)was.”Their investigations found that Marino Massimo De Caro,a well-known Italian book thief,had sold the real letter to a New York book dealer.De Caro is serving a seven-year prison sentence in Italy for stealing about4,000ancient books and manuscripts from Italian libraries and private collections.The late collector David Parsons bought the letter for$875,000in2004.After the investigations,his widow agreed to return the letter to the Vatican Library.Officials said the letter is now worth about$1.2million.（1）（2分）What does the underlined word“artificial”in paragraph4mean?A．criminal.B．real.C．false.D．valuable.（2）（2分）Which of the following is true according to the text?A．We know when the theft took place.B．Christopher Columbus discovered“The New World”about500years ago.C．Columbus's letter was first written in Latin.D．A Vatican inspector suspected that Columbus Letter in the Vatican Library was a fake.（3）（2分）Now you can see the once stolen letter in.A．Callista Gingrich's B．Jean-Louis Brugues'C．David Parsons's D．the Vatican Library（4）（2分）What can we infer from the text?A．Columbus wrote the letter both in Spanish and Latin.B．One of the Latin letters was copied by Stephan Plannack.C．The letter in the United States is not a fake letter.D．David Parsons returned the letter to the Vatican Library.二、任务型阅读(共1题；共10分)5．（10分）任务型阅读Do you know what may make you seem to be not confident enough?.Giving reasons for your actions.Suppose you are having lunch with a group of people,and suddenly you drop your glass of coke on the floor.What will you do?Well,some people will just start to explain why it has happened.If you drop a glass or make a mistake,it won't change who you are.It's your right to make a mistake because you are a human being.You may have experienced a situation where you told a friend his performance wasn't that good and then he replied back immediately by saying,“No,no,no,it's just because I was tired”or“I was just thinking of something else”.Confident people listen to criticism and see whether it's true or not. However,if they know it's not true,they don't care much about it.Becoming a perfectionist.A perfectionist thinks that he lives in a perfect world so he tries to do everything perfectly.Confident people are not perfectionists.If they get a“B”,they may try to get an“A”next time,but if they get99/100,they won't be unhappy about not getting a full mark because they know they're not perfect.A.Confident people don't give reasons for their actions.B.Read the following information and you'll know the answer.C.Accepting criticism immediately.D.Replying back immediately to criticism.E.If the criticism is true and can help them,they accept it.F.He may become very unhappy if he gets99/100in an exam.G.He may become very unhappy if he can't pass the exam.三、完形填空(共1题；共20分)6．（20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AFor some travelers, a typical hotel room is a bit boring. Here a re the world’s several strangest hotels.The MirrorcubeThe Mirrorcube is hung on a tree trunk and covered in mirrors . It accommodates two people at a time, with a double bed, a small bathroom and a living room. Access to the room is by a rope bridge connected to the next tree. Hidden among the tre es, the mirrors provide a 360-degree view of the surroundings.ICEHOTELICEHOTEL is the world's largest hotel made from snow and ic e. Guests can sleep in a bed made of snow and ice, at temper atures around -5 ℃.The entire building melts and gets reconstructed every year. Each November, a team of architects rebuilds the rooms fro m several hundred tons of ice. If your ideal vacation consists of walking around in snow pants and furs, ICEHOTEL is worth your visit.Marmara AntalyaMarmara Antalya provides guests with a constantly changing view. Floating in a pool of 478 tons of water and aided by six electric motors, it turns a full 360 degrees on its foundation se veral times a day.Tianzi HotelBuilt in 2016, this 10-floor building is shaped like Fu, Lu and Shou — the symbols o f Chinese gods of fortune, prosperity and longevity.Shou, on the left, is holding a peach that contains a suite(套房). Guests can enter the hotel through his right foot. If you ar e in China and near the Tianzi Hotel, visit it or stay a night bec ause you have the opportunity to rest in the world's largest im age hotel.1. What is the character of the Mirrorcube?A. It is a tree-house hotel.B. It is shaped like a statue.C. It is different every year.D. It turns 360 degrees.2. Which hotel is built on the water?A. The MirrorcubeB. ICEHOTELC. Marmara AntalyaD. Tianzi Hotel3. What is unique to Tianzi Hotel?A. It has a long history.B. It is a 10-floor building.C. It represents good fortune.D. It is the largest image hotel.BGrowing up, I always hid my thumbs in my fists because of th eir unusual shape. Admittedly, they do look more like big toes instead of thumbs and from an early age, my thumbs earned a nickname “toe thumbs”.Then, while I was in high school, I worked as a cashier in a st ore. One day, while I was checking out a sweet old lady, she suddenly grabbed (抓住) my hands and said in a thick Polish accent, “You are Polish! Look at those beautiful Polish thumbs! They match mine!”She raised her hands and showed me her thumbs that looked exactly like mine! She grabbed and held my hands again and said, “Be proud of those thumbs and the history of your herita ge (传承) that comes with them!”I'll never forget that 30-second conversation with a stranger that forever changed my view of a part of me I once was embarrassed by and now em brace. Tonight, as I sat with my Samuel, he looked down at m y hand and said, “ Mommy! Our thumbs match!” I smiled and answered, “Yes, they do. Those are strong Polish thumbs! Be proud of them!”I no longer hide my thumbs in my fists. I'm happy that my chil d will carry on a piece of our heritage. I hope my son will neve r hide his thumbs like I did. I hope he will be proud of their “un usualness” and the history behind them. He carries on a uniq ue part of me (and all the generations before me) and that for me will always be beautiful!4. Which of the following might the author experience because of her thumbs?A. Great hardships in life.B. Being admired by her friends.C. Unexpected kindness from others.D. Being teased by surrounding people.5. What did the author and the old woman have in common?A. They had the same appearance.B. Their ancestors came from Poland.C. Their thumbs and toes looked the same.D. They felt the same towards their thumbs.6. What does the underlined word “embrace” in Paragraph 3 p robably mean?A. Be ashamed of.B. Be curious about.C. Accept willingly.D. Bear bravely.7. What is the best title for this text?A. Polish thumbsB. Polish mannersC. A heritage of beautyD. Say no to embarrassmentCIf you are standing in front of an iceberg (冰山), it might look like the largest thing you’ve seen. However, you’re still only seeing the small part above the water. About 9 0 percent of the iceberg is below the water. The same idea rel ates to culture, Amy Melendez explained.Amy teaches English and trains English educators in Washing ton. She works at a number of schools, including Northern Virginia Community College and Georgetown University. She sai d that many students and teachers mistakenly think culture is just the things that are easy to see, like food, music, clothing and holidays. But she said that most culture is represented in what cannot be seen: people's expectations, beliefs and value s.So she brings lessons about this into the classroom. She teac hes learners how to understand and value cultural differences and communicate more effectively with people from other cult ures.Like Amy, Michelle Stabler is an English educator who has ta ught intercultural communication. Currently, she is a professor of Columbia University in New York City.Both Amy and Michelle explained that the subject of cultural u nderstanding is a natural part of language teaching. They not ed that language and culture are inseparable: words and expr essions have cultural origins.They also said that cultural tolerance helps learners feel safe i n the classroom. Michelle explained, "In other words, they don 't have to worry that people are going to criticize (批评) who they are or the things that they value most and believ e in. This gives students the freedom to focus their energy on learning the language without the concern that these things that are so important to them are going to be questioned。

The deman ds of my work and my three children had made it possible to v isit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. She thought about it for a moment , and then agreed.That Friday after work, I drove over to pick her up. When I arri ved at her house, I noticed that she had curled her hair and w as wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as bea utiful as an angel’s.We went to a very nice and comfortable restaurant. After we s at down, I had to read the menu. A smile was on her lips. “It w as I who used to have to read the menu when you were a chil d”, she said. “Then it’s time that you should relax and let me r eturn the favor,” I responded.During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation----nothing special but catching up onrecent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I a greed.A few days later my mother died of an uncontemplated heart attack.

After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went o ut.Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn't help breathing it d eeply. I stretched my arms and legs, then started to run. I fou nd all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branche s were waving, as if they were welcoming me; the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, the wind was whispering, as if to say “come on, girl”. What's more interesting was those two birds, perching in the tree.
