They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals and sometimes animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out every day, too. They collected roots, fruit and grass. Then, one day more than 10,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grassseeds near her home in the Middle East. They grew, and the first wheat was 37 . The idea grew, too. Women planted roots and fruit trees. Then they could stay at home and look after the children and the animals. Women like baby animals. Archaeologists think that women 38 the first domestic animals: dogs, cows sheep and goats. That idea grew, too. Then their husbands did not have to go hunting for meat. They stayed at home.

What do you know about exercise?Some people think that in case you want to reduce the waistline, the best way is to do waist exercises. In fact, exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one p41．of body. When you reduce the fat t42．your body, you will certainly reduce your waistline, too! Exercise only twice a week is not enough, because unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. After 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to keep good physical fitness. So if you have enough time, exercise every day is best.Some people think that in order to lose weight you should always "work up a good sweat" when exercising. That is a w 43．idea. Sweating only lowers body temperature so that you won’t overheat; it does not help you reduce your weight. After exercise, you ma y weigh less, but this is b44．of water loss. Once you replace the water, you replace the weight.Exercise is very important for everyone. It keeps us healthy. One of the best exercises is walking. Walking helps circulation of blood throughout the body, and it has a direct e 45．on your feeling of health. And if your breathing does not return to normal in minutes after you finish exercising, that means you have exercised too m 46．. You’d better spend 20minutes a day exercising, and that will keep you feeling good.七、阅读回答问题Answer the questions.For millions of people, the American dream of owning a home seemed to be slipping out of reach.“Maybe young couples can no longer afford to buy a ready-made house as their parents did,’’ says 40-year-old building instructor Pat Hennin. “But they can still have a home. Like their pioneer ancestors, they can build it themselves, and at less than half the cost of aready-made house.”The owner-builders came from every occupational group, although surprisingly few are professional building workers. Many take the plunge with little or no experience. “I learned how to build my house from reading books,” says John Brown, who built a six-room home for $25,000 in High Falls, New Jersey. “If you have patience and the carpent ry（木工）skill to make a bookcase, you can build a house.”An astonishing 50 percent of these owner builders hammer every nail, 1ay every pipe, and wire every switch with their own hands. The rest contract （承包）for some parts of the task. But even those who just act as contractors and finish the insides of their homes can save from 30 percent to 45 percent of what a ready-made home would cost.One survey revealed that 60 percent of owner-builders also design their homes. Many others buy commercial house plans for less than $100 or use plans available from the U. S. Department of Agriculture.47．Maybe American young people can’t afford to buy a ready-made house, can they?________________________________________________________________48．How can American young couples have a home?________________________________________________________________49．Are all the owner-builders experienced?________________________________________________________________50．Why do the owner-builders build houses with their own hands?________________________________________________________________51．How many percent of the owner-builders design their homes?________________________________________________________________52．How much does a commercial house plan cost?________________________________________________________________参考答案1．D【解析】【详解】句意：这个编辑写了一篇800字的文章，这篇文章在报纸上出版了。

humour.However ，it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes.The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.For example，if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain，he might say，"It's a little damp （潮湿的）outside." Or，if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person，someone else might say，"She isn'texactly friendly." Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly.Understatement plays an important part in British humour.Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street.They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society.They like to make jokes about their accents，the way they dress and the way they behave.What's more，the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society.The comedies series Mr.Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.Mr.Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.Mr.Bean doesn't talk often ，and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh.Perhaps what makes Mr.Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do.Mr.Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour.Because of this，many people have understood the British sense of humour.（1）It is often easy for foreigners to understand British jokes，isn't it？，.（2）What does "understatement" mean？It .（3）Who do the British like to make fun of？.（4）What do the British love to watch？.（5）How does Mr.Bean make people laugh？By .（6）What are the key points for people to understand British humour？The British like and .六、Writing（写作）：35．（9分）Write at least60words about the topic"A special gift to...".（以"一份给……的特殊礼物"为题写一篇不少于60 个词的短文，标点符号不占格。

Have you ever thought about why that is so?In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. However, E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US.The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale: A: 95-100% (excellent) B: 85-94% (good) C: 76-84% (fair)D: 75% (barely passed) E: below 75% (failed)We can see the E grade instead of F grade.Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. Later, many schools decided to change the E grade and into the F grade. There is no evidence (证据) to really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”.Why do we have letter grades? Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler. As the 20th century began, school classrooms became bigger. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students.Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect (反映) student learning. However, as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents still prefer the letter grades because they are familiar and easy for parents to understand. Although they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon.55．It there a letter E in the grading system now?____________________________________________________________56．What does an F stand for in the A．B．C．D and F grading system?____________________________________________________________57．When was the letter grading system first used in the US college?____________________________________________________________58．What is the one of the possible reasons for changing the E grade and into the F grade? ____________________________________________________________59．How did most teachers like the letter grading system in the 20th century?____________________________________________________________60．Do you want to get letter grades or number scores on your test or homework?

In many parts of the world today this is still true, but something else is becoming more important -the exchange of information and the technology that we use to do this. Twenty-four-hour news, e-commerce, international call centres, mobile phones, positioning systems…all these（16）______________（make）the world smaller and faster.The growth in telecommunications is now giving more and more people access to the science that will help their country to develop or to the medical knowledge that can fight disease.

Millions of people cannot read these words（18）_____________they don't have access to a computer. They don't understand English either, the language that around half of the information on the Internet is（19）_____________（write）in. They don't even have a telephone. They are more worried about how far they will have to walk today to get clean water or if they can feed themselves and their families. For most people on this planet, information is not a priority.The contrast between countries that have information technology and（20）_____________that don't is called the ‘digital divide’. Scandinavia and South East Asia have a high number of people who use information communication technologies（ICT）. Central Africa and the Pacific have relatively very few.The United Nations is trying to make the information society（21）_____________reality for more of the developing world.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Learning New Languages through VR VisitsOn a Friday morning in November（2017）in Houston, Texas, a group of 12 Rice University undergraduates in Jayoung Song's second-year Korean language class took out their smartphones, opened the YouTube app and fastened their phones to virtual-reality headsets. Within seconds, they were 30 to a typical café in Seoul, South Korea and were encouraged to begin a situational conversation with Korean peers, whose statements and questions had been31This is the way the innovative world of language 32 is going as virtual-reality learning videos enter the classroom and provide students with the closest thing to real-life situation that they could possibly get."A lot of literature says that it is really important to be exposed to the language and culture in order to succeed in language learning," said Song, a lecturer of Korean whose papers focused on comparing a face-to-face andvirtual-world environment for 33 second-language learners' interactional competence. "But technically, it would be bard for students to go to Korea and learn Korean there, so I wanted to bring that setting to the classroom so that students can 34 it with the virtual-reality glasses and their cellphones."Song is one of the first instructors in the university's School of Humanities' Center for Languages and Intercultural Communication to incorporate the technology in her classroom.In recent years, 35 for Korean language classes at Rice has doubled to more than 100 students per year. A key driver, according to Song, is South Korea's export of pop culture, fueled by the popularity of Korean pop（K-pop）music and videos on YouTube and serialized TV K-dramas.Other virtual-reality scenarios that Song's students engage in include shopping in a supermarket, traveling on the subway and visiting a doctor's office."This local setting…really gives it the real-life situation experience of learning language and culture," said Siyu Geng, a senior 36 in mathematical economic analysis."The world is getting into a multilingual and multicultural era," Song said. "In this time, it's very useful to learn foreign language and culture to become 37 professionals in this linguistically and culturally diverse world." III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Pill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.By 2030, 60 percent of the world's population is expected to live in big cities. How all those people live, and what their lives are like, will 38 important choices leaders make today and in the coming years.Technology has the power to help people live in communities that are more 39 to their needs and that can actually improve their lives. For example, Beijing, troubled by air pollution, is testing a 23-foot-tall air 40 that cleans up smog, filters the bad particles（微粒）and releases clear air.This isn't a vision of life in the family comedy The Jetsons. It's real urban communities responding in real-time to changing weather, times of day and citizen needs. These efforts can cover entire communities. They can vary from monitoring traffic to keeping cars moving efficiently or measuring air 41 to warn residents when pollution levels climb.Using data and electronic sensors in this way is often 42 as building "smart cities," which are the subject of a major push to improve how cities function. In part a response to unreasonable infrastructure（基础设施）design and urban planning of the past, smart cities 43 real-time monitoring, analysis and improvement of citydecision-making. The results, supporters say, will improve efficiency, environmental sustainability and citizen engagement.Smart city projects are big investments that are supposed to drive social 44 Decisions made early in the45 determine what exactly will change. But most research and planning regarding smart cities is driven by the technology, 46 the needs of the citizens. Little attention is given to the social, policy and organizational changes that will be required to ensure smart cities are not just technologically comprehensive but intelligently 47 to their residents' needs. Design will make the difference between smart city projects offering great prospect or actually increasing or even widening the existing gaps in unequal ways their cities serve residents.A key 48 of smart cities is that they create efficiency. Well-designed technology tools can 49 government agencies, the environment and residents. Smart cities can improve the efficiency of city services by finding ways to save money and streamlining workers' responsibilities. The results can provide higher-quality at lower cost.38.

A. represent B. exhaust C. benefit D. approveSection BDirections: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.（A）A culture that values achievement and progress will discourage people from "wasting" time. In religious societies, customs specify times of the day, week, or year for prayer and religious celebrations. If an individual tries to make an appointment during a sacred holiday, he or she could unknowingly offend a religious person. Social manners determine appropriate times for visit, meetings, and even phone calls.Punctuality is important in American business, academic and social settings. The importance of punctuality is taught to young children in school. People who keep appointments are considered dependable. If people are late to job interviews, appointments or classes, they are often viewed as unreliable and irresponsible. In the business world, "time is money" and companies may fine their executives for being late to business meetings. Of course, it was not always possible to be punctual. Social and business manners also provide rules for late arrivals. Calling on the telephone if one is going to be more than a few minutes late for scheduled appointments is considered polite and is often expected. Keeping a date or a friend waiting beyond ten to twenty minutes is considered rude. On the other hand, arriving thirty minutes late to some parties is acceptable.Respecting deadlines is also important in academic and professional circles. It is expected that deadlines for class assignments or business reports will be met. Whether it is a question of arriving on time or of meeting a deadline, people are culturally conditioned to regulate time.Time is tangible; one can "gain time", "spend time", "waste time", "save time", or even "kill time"! The treatment of time as a possession influences the way time is carefully divided. Generally, Americans are taught to do one thing at a time and may be uncomfortable when an activity is interrupted. Visitors who "drop by" without prior notice may interrupt their host's personal time. Thus, calling friends on the telephone before visiting them is generally preferred to visitors "dropping by". To accommodate other people's schedules. Americans make business plans and social engagements several days or weeks in advance.50. Who are considered reliable and responsible according to the passage?A. People who make appointments during sacred holidays.B. People who always have good plans and save time.C. People who would not like to disturb othersD. People who are punctual for appointments51. The word "tangible" in Paragraph 4 can be best replaced by___________ according to the passage.A. limitedB. flexibleC. valuableD. material52. Which of the following statements about American social life is TRUE?A. Americans treat time so carefully as to bear unexpected interruption.B. Americans visit their friends without noticing them in advance.C. Americans prefer being visited to being called on the telephone.D. Americans make business plans and social engagements beforehand.53. What is this passage mainly concerned with?A. How Americans have a future orientation.B. How Americans are influenced by their religion.C. How time is regulated and perceived in the US.D. How achievement and progress are valued in the US.（B）Top Scientists Take SidesFamous Inducers（Experiment> ）Gregor Mendel（1822-1884）Mendel spent years recording variations in the appearance of peas and other living things. By analysing this data, he identified mathematical laws that govern genetics.Alexander Fleming（1881-1955）While studying bacteria, Fleming observed that bread mold（霉）could kill bacteria harmful to human health. This led him to discover penicillin, the first effective antibiotic.Ernest Rutherford（1871-1937）During an experiment, Rutherford noted that energetic particles could pass easily through thin metal foil（箔）. From this evidence he formulated a scientific law: the Famous Deducers（Theory> Experiment）Isaac Newton（1643-1727）Inspired by the motion of falling objects（but probably not an apple!）Newton proposed that all objects attract each other. Only later did he perform calculations to prove that his idea, "universal gravitation," was true.Democritus（c. 460-370 B.C. ）Based on philosophical principles, Democritus argued that a material cannot be divided into smaller pieces forever; he called its smallest possible unit an "atom." Democritus had no means to test his theory. But later experimenters proved atoms are real.Alfred Wegener（1880-1930）atom is mostly empty space. Noticing the interlockable shapes of the continents,Wegener made the bold proposal that Earth's landmasses began as a single, giant continent. Over manyyears, many disciplines including geology andfossilology would finally prove that his theory of"continental drift" is accurate.54. Which of the following best define "Inducers" and "Deducers" according to the poster?A. Inducers are those who arrive at a conclusion based on theories.B. Inducers prefer to make experiments to prove some relative theories.C. Deducers usually do more experiments than develop theories.D. Deducers tend to arrive at a conclusion by reasoning or inference.55. Which of the following is True according to the poster?A. Mendel recognised mathematical laws governing genetics by farming.B. Newton proposed the idea "universal gravitation" by observing the falling of apples.C. It was Fleming who made the discovery of the first effective antibiotic.D. Alfred Wegener created the theory of "continental drift" after he found rich evidence.56. Where can this poster most probably be seen?A. In a university lecture.B. In a physics textbook.C. In a science magazine.D. In an advertisement.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. In fact, they tended to return to the way they felt before they became rich.B. Nowadays people look to technology as an alternative source of satisfaction.C. Family relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term contentment.D. You can't buy happiness but it looks like you can at least inherit it, some researchers said.E. The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general contentment.F. An important implication is that personality traits of being outgoing and reliable provide a resource that drives future happiness.Can Happiness Be Bought?There is a Web site called the "World Database of Happiness". It combines and analyzes the results of hundredsof surveys from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are predictable, but a few are surprising.57 it is quite common to say that money can't buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be supported by research. Many people still stick to the belief that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, yet they are probably mistaken.Studies have been carried out on people who acquired sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after the initial joy had worn off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. 58 Previously contented people continue to be contented, while those who were miserable before sink back into misery.If material wealth does not bring happiness, then what does? Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live. The authorities at the World Database on Happiness have surveyed levels of happiness in different countries. Other surveys consistently point to the importance of relationships. 59 The Web site suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the situations that bring the greatest happiness.60 People increasingly spend more time alone watching TV or surfing the Internet rather than spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy? It is too difficult to tell, but one thing is sure: If the Web site's research is accurate, time spent with your family is a better investment than time spent making money.第Ⅱ卷（共26分）IV.
