For the past 2 years, I‘ve had the privile ge of traveling to various countries in Asia, specifically Indonesia and China.

Discover the harm of eating pizza(C)I was raised on a farm in the Fraser Valley along with five sisters and one brother. When I was 15, I got addicted to drinking at weekends and then dropped out of school. By the time I was 17, I continued to drink heavily. I couldn't find a job to support myself. So, I had no other choice but to join the army. I retired and went back home three years later, still a heavy drinker. When I was 22, I met Sue whose father was also a heavy drinker, so my behavior didn't surprise her. We were soon married and later had two daughters.I started my first business when I was in my mid-twenties. A few years later, I bought a large chicken farm. Even with this success, though, my drinking was always a problem. It affected my marriage and family so much that I knew I had to make up my mind to stop drinking. So I tried great efforts. But two years later, I began drinking again.When I was in my mid-thirties, I sold both of my businesses, and bought the big house on the hill. I was not at all happy, although I had everything that was supposed to make me happy. I sold our big house on the hill and bought a largeland, where I built a new house. Our marriage was in big trouble, and my finances would go down the drain. For the first time in many years, I had to go to work for someone as an employee. I took a job as a heavy equipment operator in a road building camp.My marriage still came apart when I was 38, and my kids had to go through our divorce. I spent 6 months in giving up drinking on a school camp. Nearly a year later, I met my childhood neighbor girl, June. We were married not long afterwards. My kids learned to trust me again and I have two stepchildren that also love me.Happy life continued about ten years. Everything was going so well when I felt there was something wrong with my body. I went to see a doctor, and the medical examination came out that I had ALS(肌肉萎缩症). Record shows that people with ALS generally survive between two to five years after symptoms appear. I've probably had the symptoms for one-and-a-half years already, so I don't know how much time I have left.…God knows…62. Which of the following is the right order for the author‘s experience?a. He married June.b. He married Sue.c. He bought the big house on the hill.d. He bought a large chicken farm.e. He succeeded in giving up drinking.f. He tried but failed to get rid of drinking.A. a, d, c, b, f, eB. b, d, f, c, e, aC. b, c, d, a, f, eD. f, b, d, c, e , a63. The underlined phrase ―go down the drain‖(in Paragraph 3) is closest in meaningto ―______‖.A. be out of expectationB. be totally successfulC. become worse and worseD. be safe in one‘s pocket64. What can we infer about the author‘s marriage?A. His two kids didn‘t trust him before he remarried.B. His finance was the first thing that led to the failure of his first marriage.C. His first wife didn‘t know about his drinking before marriage.D. He gave birth to two children in his 40s.65. What is true according to the last paragraph?A. The author is hopeless because he will be dead in a few years because of ALS.B. The author has hope because the doctor concluded that he had 2-5 years left.C. The author is uncertain whether the symptoms of ALS have appeared or not.D. The author will ask God whether the disease is curable or not.(D)In the film The Revenant the Leonardo DiCaprio adventure takes the basicfacts of real-life frontiersman Hugh Glass's sufferings and adds extra characters,extra ultra violence and more horse guts.Hugh Glass was a frontiersman working in the upper Missouri river area inthe early years of the 19th century. On a fur trapping expedition in 1823, he wasattacked and injured by a grizzly bear.1. _____________Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is one of a group of men finishing up a fur trapping expedition in the wilderness. They are attacked by Ree (Arikara) warriors. Whoosh！Someone gets impaled on a spear. Bang！Someone gets shot off his horse. Crack！Someone's bones shatter. There's a fearless close-up of an arrow thwacking into a face, a gun buttbashing into a face, a flying kick to a face. A horse gets shot in the face. It's exceptionally well choreographed (取景) and filmed.This scene is based on a real-life incident: In June 1823, Ashley's band of around 70 men was attacked by Arikara warriors –they estimated around 600, though in the film it's more like a dozen.2. CharactersIn the film, 10 men get away. Fitzgerald is fighty and racist, so he's the bad guy. Glass is the good guy, because he loves his son (who is half-Pawnee) in a gruff, manl y way that involves telling him off a lot. The back story about Glass‘s love for a Pawnee woman is fiction. It has been suggested the real Glass had such a relationship, but there's no firm evidence –and no evidence that he had any children.3. WildlifeAs the men make their way through a forest, Glass happens upon two bear cubs and their angry mama. If you felt pale after the face-smashing scene at the start, reach for the smelling salts. Chomp！Growl！Shake！The bear sniffs him to see if he's dead, then jumps up and down on his back. Splinter！Howl！Slash！Glass shoots the bear. Anyway, while historians are not certain of the precise details, the real Glass did get into a fight with a real bear, sometime in August 1823.4. MurderThe men find Glass in a rum old state. Captain Henry pays Fitzgerald, Bridger and Hawk to stay behind until it is time for Glass's inevitable burial. When the captain leaves, Fitzgerald tries to bump Glass off. Hawk interrupts, so Fitzgerald bumps him off instead. This didn't happen in real life, because Hawk didn't exist. In the film, the weak Glass sees Fitzgerald kill his son, giving him an extra motivation to stay alive and seek revenge.5. SurvivalThe real Glass survived his abandonment and dragged his battered body over hundreds of miles of terrain in pursuit of the men who left him for dead. Though he could read and write, Glass never set his story down in his own hand. It was first published by another writer in a Philadelphia journal in 1825. It may well have been modified then. It has been modified many times since.6. HardshipThe film has invented some extra obstacles for Glass: it is snowing throughout, even though in real life his trek took place between August and October; the Arikara track him and chase him into a tree; he has to hollow out a dead horse to make himself a sleeping bag. As for the ending, it has been changed in one significant way: in real life, nobody got killed.66. We can know for sure after reading the passage that real Hugh Glass _____.A. finally survived for he was determined to take revenge on Fitzgerald killing HawkB. fell in love with a Pawnee woman and soon after they had a clever and brave boyC. wrote nothing about his suffering despite the fact that he was actually educatedD. nearly got killed by Fitzgerald and Hawk under the instruction of Captain Henry67. To play the role of Hugh Glass, Leonardo DiCaprio must have ______.A. fought against three bears courageouslyB. walked in snow with great difficultyC. rode a horse time and time againD. grasped skills for surviving in the wild68. Which of the following can be the best subtitle for the 4th and 5th paragraphs?A. ViolenceB. SettingC. HorrorD. Special effects69. We can see here and there in the passage that the writer thinks of the movie as a _____ adaptation.A. faithfulB. disappointingC. successfulD. heartless70. The passage is intended to inform readers _____.A. how tragic Hugh Glass's experience isB. how well Leonardo DiCaprio performs in The RevenantC. how bloody the movie The Revenant isD. how historically accurate The Revenant is五、任务型阅读（共10 小题；每小题1 分，满分10 分）请阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填八一个最恰当的单词。

said the meeting will improve mutual trust and allow for an exchange of opinions on handling the cross﹣Strait ties．In addition，the meeting will help strengthen the 1992Consensus，which was reached in talks between the two sides in 1992and recognizes the one﹣China principle，and safeguards the peaceful development of cross﹣Strait ties，according to Zhang．Zhang added that the scheduled meeting will also benefit regional peace and stability．Also at Wednesday's summit，Chiang Pin﹣kung，former chairman of the Taiwan﹣based Straits Exchange Foundation，hailed the upcoming meeting between the two leaders

about people being"color﹣blind"but very few of us are．Even those who describe themselves as color﹣blind are normally just color lack．A strongly color﹣blind person will still be able to tell 20different colors，compared to the 100or so that normal﹣sighted people see．Pingelap，a tiny island in the Pacific，is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble．It is known as Color Blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white．who's a fisherman，also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt﹣out image．"I find it difficult to go outside in the sun，"he says，"because when it's sunny I cannot see to do my work．"But if being truly color﹣blind is rare，why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap lire in a totally black and white world？Well，we know that in 1780the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami．As few as 20people survived，one of whom was the king．It's believed he had a

that the type of emotional support that a child receives during the first three and a half years has an effect on education，social life and romantic relationships even 20or 30years later．Babies raised in supportive and caring home environments tended to do better on tests later on，and they were more likely to get higher degrees as adults．They were also more likely to get along with their classmates and feel satisfied in their romantic relationships．"It seems like，at least in these early years，the parents'role is to communicate with the children and let them know，‘I'm here for you when you're upset，when you need me．And when you don't need me，I'm your cheerleader，'"says Lee Raby，a psychologist and researcher at the University of Delaware who led the study．Raby used data collected from 243people who participated in the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk．All the participants were followed from birth until they turned 32．"Researchers went into these kids'home at times．Other times，they brought the children and their parents to the university and observed how they communicated with each other，"says Raby．Of course，parental behavior in the early years is just one of many influences，and it's not necessarily causing the benefits seen in the study．While summarizing the results，the researchers accounted for theFinally，they found that about 10percent of someone's academic achievement was connected with the quality of their home life at three．Later experiences，genetic factors and even luck explain the other 90percent．8．The text is especially helpful for those who care

This summer, you can experience all of these things , and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your i magination.A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kid s spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day . Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play gam es or check emails. But the next time you get on the Web, tryexploring the world instead. “With the Internet，you can go back 11,000 years in time，or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet.” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”There is a wealth of information to be found online. For exam ple, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “Wh at's the background of the place; what's the history？” says R ussell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your wa y. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too.

And check with a parent or an adult befor e visiting any new Web site.Navigate the world in 3D with Google Earth. Begin in outer sp ace and zoom (快速移动) into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Franci sco. Or visit ancient monuments, watch the changing rainfore sts over time, and dive underwater to explore tropical reef. With the Moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong's famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon's s urface with Armstrong's fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Al drin.When you're exploring that part of the solar system, hop on o ver to the Red Planet with Google Mars.

B．Encourage the kids to explore the world online. C．Encourage the kids to do some research on science. D．Encourage the kids to spend more time online.BRising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry a nd potentially harming sea life.Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been rese arching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades . “We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, an d we try and characterize longterm change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is C O2 levels. And we've been able to record this increasing quan tity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean.”Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, moreand more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the o cean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.“As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid，” Dore explains. “A nd therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it driv es the PH down, and makes it more acidic.”The seawater samples Dore and his colleagues have analyze d confirm what the theory predicts.The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, a nd again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up wit h two possible explanations. It could be that surface water pic ked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.“It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming a cidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of s ea life from fish to coral. It's potentially catastrophic.”5．What can be the best title of the passage?A．Climate Change Affecting SeawaterB．Oceans Becoming More AcidicC．Sea Life Facing DangerD．Scientist Researching Seawater6．With the increase of atmospheric CO2，________. A．the surface water is becoming warmerB．more corals will appear in the seaC．the PH of the ocean out here has been increasing D．the chemical balance of the seawater is affected 7．Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO2 on sea life?a．Sea life is endangered.b．CO2 goes into the surface water.c．The ocean chemistry is affected.d．CO2 decreases the PH and makes the seawater more aci dic.e. CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up.A．a→e→b→c→d B．e→d→c→b→aC．e→b→c→d→a D．a→b→c→d→eCThe associates I hired in my bicycle and lawn mower shop lik e myself were never perfect; however, they were excellent. W orking with them as they improved taught me new ways to sh ow forgiveness, understanding, and patience.One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that D avid was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview ju st for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions op en at the time and the interview was just for practice.When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him aro und. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability. David was very quiet (he was evaluated as a slow learner in s chool). Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, Da vid walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door.One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded rig ht away or the driver would leave.It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitation s) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was sh orthanded. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front door and just stood there. I looke d at him and shouted, “Well, all right! Fill out a time card and h elp me unload this truck！”David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He cam e to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; howev er, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries . The customers would praise David, saying, “He doesn't talk, but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower！”8．The author gave David an interview to ________.A．give him some practiceB．show sympathy for himC．find a person who is reliableD．find a parttime worker in need9．The author finally hired David because ________.A．He realized David was dependableB．there were no other workers in the shop thenC．he needed someone who was willing to work then D．David kept showing up10．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________. A．the author prefers David to be more outgoingB．the author feels lucky to hire DavidC．David has had his character changed through work D．some customers just play jokes on David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。

I soon learned that they had 41 the last few families who lived above them by the same way. So I had the information I needed and I tried to 42 every situation carefully.I tried to walk in 43 to avoid any possible noises. Whenever they called 44 came to the door with a complaint,no matter how unreasonable, I simply listened.

The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattan’s West Side.At Power. Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fame as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.From then on be simply got better. Some rival coaches（对方教练）used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a lollipop（棒棒糖）, Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups（擦板球）. Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grownups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. “People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him, “but because you’re a basketball player. Don’t forget that.”【1】Many schools offered Alcindor scholarships because_______.A．he was young B．he was hardworkingC．he was tall for his age D．he was skillful at playing basketball【2】Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach?A．serious, popular and slow B．tall, skillful and successfulC．kind, powerful and undefeated D．well-known, strict and experienced【3】Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up?A．Their teams refused to play Power.B．Their teams feared to see Alcindor.C．Their teams would lose courage.D．Their teams would lose interest.【4】What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?A．How Donohue protected Alcindor from the press.B．How Alcindor disliked meeting reporters.C．Why the press followed Alcindor closely.D．Why the public wanted Alcindor badly.2.If you've been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with Web pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.And you've got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(="sense" of humor failure) to describe Internet newcomers who don't understand you.Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.It's fast: try talking to six people at once. It's brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.And it requires tremendous linguistic economy. There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(="be" right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(="pardon" me for jumpingin). Interested in whom you're talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF(="on" the floor),or LOL(="laughing" out loud),or combine the two into ROTFL(="rolling" on the floor laughing).And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(="got" to go) or TTYL(talk to you later). People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” keyand capitals. Punctuation is going, too.【1】In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet_______.A．you have to speak fast and fluentlyB．you have to express your ideas in a brief wayC．you should speak with wit and humorD．one should pay much attention to the accuracy of the words【2】If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means_______.A．the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fineB．you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New YorkC．you are talking to 17 girls who are from New YorkD．the person who are talking to you is a 1.7-foot tall New York girl【3】To save time on the Internet_______.A．some people leave their letters in the dustbinB．some people never use “shift” in thei r writingC．many people leave the capital and punctuationD．people seldom use capital letters or punctuation3.While shell-like roofs, unlike anything else in the world, make the Sydney Opera House an image of timeless beauty. It is famous for being a symbol, not only of a city, but a whole country and condition too.Its creator, Danish architect Jorn Utzon , turned 85 last Wednesday. And he was awarded the Prizker Prize, known as the Nobel Prize of Architecture, on April 6. But Utzon has never seen his Opera House.The story began in 1957 when Utzon won an international competition to design an opera house in Sydney.But not everyone was enthusiastic (热心的 ) . Utzon left his Opera project in 1966 after an argument with the local government and a storm of public criticism over the building’s design. It was not completed until seven years later and Utzon has never returned to Australia to see the result of his work.“Utzon made a building well ahead of its time, and he persevered (坚持) through criticism to build a building that changed the image of an entire country,” said Frank Gehry, a Pritzer Architecture Prize judge.Although the Sydney Opera House was Utzon’s masterpiece, it damaged his career.

(32)Frankly speaking, such apps are not only convenient but also practical to us students because they helps us accomplish our assignments efficiently and thus relieve us of our burden of too much homework.However, there is no denying that such apps may also have negative effects on us. To begin with, relying too much on them for answers may do great harm to the development/cultivation of our abilities to think and solve problems independently. While doing homework, we may spend less time thinking on our own and give in easily, which in the long term will sure affect our future development. Besides, such kind of app deprives us of opportunities of learning from mistakes that we make. What’s worse, our teachers will find it hard to get a clear picture of our daily academic performance, thus affecting their teaching efficiency in class.In conclusion, we’d better think twice as to whether to use such apps or not.
