When you're in the jungle, you need only four things-water, food, shelter, and fire. You can find all of these easily, but you must know what to look for.Let's start with water. Even though there's a lot of water in the jungle, you may not find it immediately. One way to discover it is to follow animals and birds, as. they need water regularly. Insects can also be a good sign, because they usually build their nests near water. However, don't only look for rivers. You can also find water in some plants such as roots and palm trees.You can usually find a lot of food in the jungle, but you must be happy to eat things you wouldn't normally want to, for example, insects. However, you need to know the difference between those you can eat and those that are poisonous, so start reading about them now!For cooking and for warmth, collect dry firewood, leaves, and grass. Then make fire using dry sticks-take a box of matches or a lighter with you!The type of shelter you need depends on the weather and the kind of animals in the jungle. Some insects can be very dangerous, so protect yourself against bites. If you don't have any insectrepellent(驱虫剂), try putting mud on your skin.Of course, if you're lost in the jungle and want to get home again, the sun and stars can help you find your way.45. If you adventure in the jungle, you should bring .A. chocolate barsB. coffeeC. a mobile phoneD. a box of matches46. According to Paragraph 2, people go after insects and birds for .A. foodB. fireC. waterD. shelter47. Which of the following is the writer's advice?A. Learning about what food is safe.B. Protecting the skin from sunlight.C. Predicting the weather by the sun and stars.D. Collecting leaves to build a place to live in.48. Where is the passage most probably from?A. A business newspaper.B.A health guide.C. A travel magazine.D.A science journal.Is traffic a big problem where you live? Increased cycling mayCbe the answer. Where are the best places to live and cycle? A new report lists the best bike- friendly cities around the world.Top of the list is Amsterdam, the bike capital of the world. An incredible 40% of all traffic movements are by bicycle. There's an extensive network of safe, fast and comfortable cycle routes. Copenhagen, the city of bikes, is a city where 32% of workers cycle to work because it's fast and easy. Berlin is another European city that's great for cycling. The city has about 80 kilometers of bike lanes, and 50 kilometers of pavement paths. Cycling accounts for 12% of total street traffic.Barcelona has been praised for its cycle service "Bicing". This was introduced in March 2007. It's a bicycle service that allows users to take bicycles from any of the 100 stations spread around the city. Later, they can leave them at any other bike station inside the urban area of the city. The city has created a "green ring" that surrounds the city area of Barcelona with a bike path. There are 3,250 parking spaces for bikes at street level at present. Barcelona City is also building a new underground car park for bicycles.The UK has its cycle-friendly cities too. Bristol is the birthplace of "Sustrans"-the cycle-route charity which was formed 30 years ago. One of their projects was turning an old rail line between Bristol and Bath into a bike route. Other bike-friendly cities in the UK include Cambridge and York. Cambridge is an old city but has still managed to build good cycle infrastructure(基础设施), and cyclists are considered at every stage of any new developments.Bicycle is a most popular means of transportation in China. Nowadays, riding a bicycle is also a good way to support low-carbon living. Beijing can be one of the best bike-friendly cities in China. There are many riding routes in Beijing foroutdoor-lovers to explore. Cyclists can get close enough to experience the history and culture of Beijing, including the Forbidden City, Drum Tower, the Water Cube, the Bird's Nest, Hutong etc.49. In Amsterdam, traffic movements by bicycle account for .A. 80%B. 40%C. 32%D. 12%50. What do we know about "Bicing" in Barcelona?A. There are 100 bike stations spread around the city.B. Cyclists can leave their bikes anywhere in the city.C. There were 3,250 parking spaces for bikes in 2007.D. Underground bike parking stations are everywhere.51. A rail line was changed to a bike route in .A. BeijingB. CambridgeC. YorkD. Bristol52. What is the passage mainly about?A. The history of cycling.B.The best cities for cycling.C. The development of cycling.D.The rules for cycling.DThe woman was terrified. What could she do? She dialed 999. The emergency call operator(接线员) Robert Naylor answered the call immediately."Please help me! It's in my bathroom!" the woman shouted.Her voice suddenly got louder. "It's moving!" she screamed."What is it that's moving?" Robert asked calmly."A spider(蜘蛛)!" the woman yelled back at him.Robert believes that a significant number of the calls he answers are not emergencies. The actual figure across the country is close to 75%.Firstly, there are "silent calls". The emergency number is dialed, but when an operator answers, no one actually speaks. Often it's a small child or even a pet, who has been playing with a phone and has accidentally rung the emergency number.More commonly these days, they are pocket calls from mobile phones. "We sometimes hear some odd conversations!" Robert says. "But we have to listen to decide whether it's a real emergency or not."Then there are "joke calls", often from teenagers. An operator answers the phone and the caller immediately hangs up. Robert believes these are declining, as there are far fewer public payphones these days. "People are less tempted to make a call when they're doing it from their own mobile phone and they know we have their number!"The police always follow up both types of call and there is often no other way than visiting the address where the call came from. It's a huge waste of money; the average cost of responding to a silent or joke call is around￡250.The vast majority of the non-emergency calls, though, are like those from the woman above. A situation like this isn't an emergency, at least not one that people like Robert are meant to be dealing with. But this example is far from the worst that people like Robert experience all over the world on a daily basis. What do you think of the following?● A teenage girl in America called the police because her parents had decorated her room andshe didn't like the color.● A mother in Italy rang the emergency services when her 16-year-old son refused to get outof bed.● A Brazilian teenage boy rang and asked the police to remove a video of him from YouTube.In the video, the boy was falling off his bike. He told the police it was "really embarrassing".There are many other examples, from complaints about the wrong pizza delivery to people whowant to know today's date. And most of these are from adults. These calls waste more than time andmoney. "If someone makes a joke call and the police manage to find them, then they can expect afine of up to ￡5,000 and, in some cases, a prison sentence," warns Robert. "But for people whoseemergencies aren't really serious, we simply try to deal with their calls as quickly as possible," he continues. "The person often quickly realizes their situation isn't really an emergency and ends up apologizing for calling us. But if someone refuses to listen, then we have to hang up. Someone with a real emergency is probably waiting to speak to us."53. The beginning of the passage .A. starts a storyB. introduces the topicC. lists questionsD. raises an argument54. What does the underlined word "declining"probably mean?A. Losing importance.B. Turning worse.C. Getting useless.D. Becoming less.55. Why are there so many non-emergency calls?A. Operators give excellent service.B. Callers do not take any responsibilities.C. Dealing with non-emergency calls costs little.D. Many do not consider it an improper behavior.56. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Who is to blame?B. Types of callC. Is it an emergency?D. Emergency service第二节:阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。

I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn't keep it up."Gates, who is worth ＄79.3 billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese. "Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Chinese and did a Q&A with Chinese students—unbelievable, isn't it?" he saidThis isn't the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language. He also showed his habits at home and personal insights.Last February, Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself—to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife, Melinda, would likely want Samuel L. Jackson to play her husband in a biopic（传记片）.He also admitted that he would pick up a ＄100 bill if he found it on the street.As he took the top spot on Forbes（福布斯）28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time, he said he is pretty basic when it comes to spending on clothes and food , but that he enjoys investing in shoes and racquets（球拍）when he plays tennis.When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way, the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break. "Don't stay up too late even if the book is really exciting. You will regret it in the morning.

Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed—a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the card's and said: "Anytime: Starting Tomorrow."The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime.Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal?Anytime's marketing had worked—it was a household name before it'd even made a single sale.A.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, "What do you want? " All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten,or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day,emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: "Stop making trouble." Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?An invitation to a company opening.The website address of a new company.The words "Anytime: Starting tomorrow" .The words "Anything you want, anytime you need it" .Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters?Because it didn't have enough money for traditional advertising.Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.So the reporters would write stories about the new company.So people would find the new company interesting.A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.（4）Itmay be very dangerous.Its popularity would soon decrease.It was doing business all over the world.It was being widely criticised by journalists.How did Chris feel at the end of the story?Scared that he would get into trouble.Confident that he would find the truth.Nervous about what the company would do.Satisfied that he had discovered the company's secret.8.Inside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris, asmall metal cylinder（圆柱体）rests on a shelf beneath a doubleset of bell jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its restonly occasionally disturbed when the room's three key holdersperform a coordinated opening ceremony to let techniciansenter and clean this precious piece of metal.First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining, circular metal is its holiest relic. It is the defining mass（质量）against which all other kilograms are measured. This is the international prototype, of the kilogram. The IPK, in short.Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world and used to standardize individual nations' weights and measures systems.But the days of the IPK, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement—based on electric current—in order to define the mass of an object. The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned."One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security, " says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson. "If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed, we would have no reference left for the world's metric weightsA.B.C.D.（1）A.rebuilt B.removed C.destroyed D.upgraded（2）A.B.C.D.（3）A.No more kilosB.A heavy technologyC.The future of the kiloD.The history of measures（4）system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all."Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. "Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths of even billionths of a gram, " says Robinson. "We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy."What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs?It's cared for with great devotion.It's used in religious ceremonies.It's beautifully designed and decorated.It's the most valuable metal in the world.Which of the following best explains "dethroned" underlined in paragraph 5?What is a reason for replacing the current IPK?To protect the metal cylinder from damage.To make taking measurements more economical.To provide all countries with the same standard.To satisfy the increasing demand for exactness.What can be a suitable title for the text?四、七选五（共5题，每题2分，共10分）9.Chuck was in my high-school English class. 1 So, when he told me he hadbeen accepted into the journalism program at the University of Missouri, I wasn't surprised.During the first year at college, Chuck stopped by school a few times. We talked about our work together several years before. We had raised money together for twenty-three sick and abandoned babies. 2 . It was an activity that in some ways changed our formal relationship into a friendship.In his second year in college, it was discovered that Chuck had lung cancer and had only a short while to live. So he left school and came home to be near to his loved ones.A. B. C. D. E. F. G.About six weeks later, Chuck died. 3 The youngest of nine children, Chuck wastalented and full of promise. More importantly, he was a good person, a just man.When I went to his funeral, his father asked to speak with me. He told me that before Chuck's death, he chose six items to bury with him. 4 He told me that Chuck had always kept the piece because he liked the message I had written to him at the bottom of the last page. In that little note, I affirmed his talent as a writer and I encouraged him to be responsible for the gift.5 His taking my note with him forever offered me a great opportunity forinfluencing students lives. I felt inspired with a sense of purpose that was greater than ever: teachers have the power to affect hearts and minds for a long time.It was a great loss for everyone, especially for his family.Chuck helped to raise several thousand dollars.Whenever I forget my purpose, I think of Chuck.He was a writer of great promise.My spirits were lifted up as Chuck was filled with the joy of life.One of them was an essay he had written in my class some years before.I was touched and grateful to Chuck who gave me a special gift that would changemy life.'五、书面表达（共1题，每题15分，共15分）10.假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你得知故宫正在招聘暑期义务英文讲解员，请你给相关部门负责人写一封申请信，内容包括：1. 介绍你的基本信息；2. 说明你的优势；3. 表示你希望被录用。
