A Farah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends to a party. “Farah，aren’t you going to invite Hafsa？”her mother asked. Hafsa had been her best friend since childhood. “Mother，you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with，”Farah answered. “Really？And what are the rules？”her mother asked. “Well，only very pretty girls can be part of our group. And Hafsa is so...you know...dark.” “I cannot believe it，”her mother said angrily. As Farah left the kitchen，her father called her from the living room. Farah went to her father and paled when she saw the exam report in his hands. “Farah，what has happened to your grades？You have failed in Mathematics，”her father said. Farah had no answer. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies. “Farah，it says that you can take part in supplementary exams(补考).If your grades don’t improve then，I’ll cancel(取消) your trip to Spain.” Farah went to her room and called Gina，the leader of Purple Girls Club， “Gina，can you help me to complete my notes before the exams？” Gina laughed. “Exams？Who cares about exams？” One by one，she called her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help. Farah knew Hafsa would help her. Farah also knew Hafsa had been hurt by her，but Hafsa said，“If you need any help，just let me know. We can study together till your exams.” Next Monday，as two friends entered the school together，Gina called out. “Farah，you know our rules. You cannot be friends with those who do not belong to our club.” “Gina，I have a new rule about friendship，”Farah replied.

AIt was only a dollar. Belscher noticed it on the floor as he sat at the back of his English class. When the school day ended, Belscher wandered back to the classroom. The old bill was still there. He could easily have pocketed it without thinking twice. Instead, he picked it up and brought it to his English teacher, Mattison.“It wasn’t my money,” Belscher says. Mattison was a little surprised he’d turned the dollar in, knowing a lot of people would have just kept it. She suggested that Belscher tape(贴) it to the whiteboard at the front of the classroom, where she always puts lost things.Rose, another student, was in English class after break when he spotted the dollar on the whiteboard. After class, he asked Mattison why it was there. She was still waiting for the original owner to claim it, so she replied, “I don’t know.” Rose took the tape from Mattison’s desk and taped a second dollar to the board.That got it rolling. The sight of the two dollar bills, side by side, started something in Mattison’s students. They started asking about the purpose of the money, to which Mattison always gave the same answer: She d idn’t know. At that point, it was true.More students, curious, taped up single dollar bills. Mattison started to leave the tape on thetray of the whiteboard. The effort snowballed. Even with no clear purpose, many students wanted to be part of whatever this was. The amount continued to grow over several weeks, until it reached $175.76.That left Mattison to make the best decision. She kept thinking about her brother-in-law, Jack Hains. Eight years earlier, Jack had died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a rare and devastating neurological disease(神经疾病).Mattison explained to her classes that Jack had raised money every spring for the ALS Therapy Development Institute, established to seek a cure for the disease. She asked the teens whether they minded if she donated the dollars in their names in honor of Jack.Their answer was to tape enough money to the whiteboard over the next few days to push the amount to $321.06. Mattison, choking back tears as she recalls the moment, says she carefully picked the cash off the board and made the donation just before the beginning of May, which is National ALS Awareness Month. That was Saturday. By Monday afternoon, eight more dollars had been taped to the board.21.When Belscher first found a dollar bill, .A.he returned it to its ownerB.he donated it to the schoolC.he handed it in to the teacherD.he picked it up and pocketed it22.What happened after Rose taped a second dollar on the whiteboard?A. The money was stolen by someone.B. More and more students did the same.C. The whiteboard was no longer used for class.D. The teacher asked the students to find the owner.23.The teacher decided to donate the money to ALS institute because .A.Jack had asked her to do so.B.she had been cured of the disease before.C. the students had no idea of the deadly disease.D. she wanted to help those who suffered from ALS.24.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The students supported the teacher’s donation.B.Only eight dollars were left on the whiteboard.C.The teacher returned all the money to the students.D.There would be no more money to be taped to the board.BYou probably know the basics of how comparatives(比较级) and superlatives(最高级) work in the English language. When comparing something, you often add an “-er” to the end of the comparative adjective. The general rule is that one-syllable(音节) words get the suffix(后缀), and polysyllabic words get “more” or “most.” That is, unless the two-syllable word ends in a “y”; if that’s the case, you will add the suffixes and change the “y” to an “i”.But what about the word “fun”? This simple adjective only has one syllable, so you’d think you’d add suffixes on it to create superlatives. But if you were to say “I think Magic Kingdom is a funner park than Epcot.”or “Disney World was the funnest vacation ever!” you might get some strange looks. It doesn’t sound quite right. But…why? “Fun” is one syllable, so why do we choose “more fun” as the comparative—especially considering that the similar word “funny,” which has more syllables than “fun,” uses the suffixes with no problem?Well, the problem comes from the fact that the word “fun” was not originally an adjective. Until the early 19th century, it was mostly just a noun, and it gained its meaning as “amusement” i n the 18th century. But as early as the 1800s, people began using it as an adjective, the way we’d describe “a fun time” or “a fun place” today.Basically, language is still developing. Grammarians have mostly come around to the use of “fun” as an adjectiv e (though some dictionaries still call it informal). There was (and remains) an agreement of “Fine, you can use ‘fun’ as an adjective…but, like, it’s not really one, so it can’t follow the rules of real adjectives.” So they also agree that the answer to “i s funner a word?” is yes. If you want to consider “fun,” as an adjective, then “funner” is indeed a word, as is “funnest”. But this doesn’t mean that “more fun” and “most fun” are incorrect, though; in fact, in formal writing, you’ll probably still want to use those instead of “funner” and “funnest.”The English language is chock-full of uncertain grammar rules; there’s no need to insist that a word breaks the common rules of language just because we didn’t used to use it in a way we do now.25.How do comparatives and superlatives work in the English language?A.Put “more” or “most” before one-syllable adjectives.B.Add “-er” or “-est” to most polysyllabic adjectives.C.Put “more” or “most” before polysyllabic adjectives.D.Add “-er” or “-est” straight to two-syllable words ending in a “y”.26.People didn’t used to use “funner” or “funnest” partly because .A.it sounded strange to grammariansB.the English language changed a littleC. the word was originally used as a nounD. some dictionaries considered it incorrect27.What can be the best title of the passage?A. Is “funner” a word?B. A general rule of English grammar.C. The development of English language.D. The comparatives and superlatives of adjectives.CThe love story between John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jackie, was far from perfect and was tragically cut short in 1963 by a sniper’s(狙击手) bullet.On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was seated beside his smartly dressed wife, who was wearing a pink Chanel-like suit and matching pillbox hat and holding an armful of red roses that had been presented to her by fans. They were seated in the back seat of a dark blue 1961 Lincoln with John Connally, the Governor of Texas and his wife, Nellie.And then came the dark moment. As the motorcade(车队) passed the Texas School Book Depository on Elm Street, a loud noise—like the sound of a firecracker—cracked the air. President Kennedy slumped(耷拉) forward, Jackie putting her arms around him.The look on her husband’s face after he was shot would haunt Jack ie for the rest of her life. The last words she ever got to say to him were, “I love you, Jack. I love you,” according to Anderson, although Jackie herself recalled it slightly differently in a 1963 interview. All the way to Parkland Hospital, where President Kennedy would eventually be pronounced dead, as she recalled it, she was bent over him, asking “Jack, Jack, can you hear me? I love you.”no way of knowing what was about to happen. It’s been reported that Jack’s final words were, “My God, I’ve been hit,” but physicians have said this was impossible given Jack’s injuries. Well, historians have now clarified that the last words Jack spoke before the fatal shot wer e, “No, you certainly can’t.”No, you certainly can’t?He was making small talk in the car. “You certainly can’t say that the people of Dallas haven’t given you a nice welcome,” the Texas Governor’s wife had just remarked to Jack, referring to the huge, ad oring crowd. “No, you certainly can’t,” Jack replied, milliseconds before the bullet from Lee Harvey Oswald gun struck.John F. Kennedy never spoke another word after that fateful day, but many things he said during his lifetime are incredibly inspiring.28. When the gunshot incident happened, .A. it suddenly went into darknessB. Kennedy was giving a speech to his fansC. the motorcade was on the way to Parkland HospitalD. Kennedy and his wife were seated next to each other29. The underlined word “mundane” in paragraph 5 probably means .A. unforgettableB. ordinaryC. excellentD. humorous30. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The people’s love for Kennedy.B. The love story of Kennedy and his wife.C. The final words before Kennedy was murdered.D. The inspiring speeches during Kennedy’s lifetime.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。

Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality(VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as" mind wandering". During these events we' re not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we' re recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feelings.While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.4. What is driving the development of virtual tourism?A. Companies seeking to make more money.B. Improvements in virtual reality technology.C. People's demand for more shared experiences.D. People's deeper understanding of the physical world.5. Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"?A. The brain processes which help people think VR is real.B. The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.C. Brain activities focusing on past or future events.D. Experiences coming from a person's imagination.6. What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Science fiction.B. Virtual technology.C. Virtual tourism.D. The real world.7. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To describe the advantages of VR tourism.B. To give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.C. To encourage people to develop VR technology.D. To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.CFaming is a tradition among many in South Dakota, one that is not always easy to keep in the family. But one family has survived four generations and hopes to continue long into the future. The year was 1933 when Ed VanderWal's father first stepped onto the farm. Now 80 years later, Ed carries the passion(热情) his father gavehim for farming every daywhile working the fields on the family farm in Volga.“Well, I was in the first grade when my dad moved here to this farm and I grew up on the farm. And that's what I was interested in doing more,” Ed said. But that love of working the land didn't stop with Ed. He's passed it down to his six sons. Some of them run farms of their own now, but two of them, Scott and David, still work side by side with their dad every day.Some people might worry that working sun up to sun down with family seven days a week would lead to a few family spats(争吵). But for the VanderWals, the constant time together works just fine.“When families work together on a farm, it's a challenge at times getting along. Everyone has to pull their weight and do their share. And that, of course, transfers from one generation to the next,” Scott said.And while they all get along like any family, with good days and bad, it's tradition that keeps each generation teaching the next.“But we taught them to work with animals at a young age, like most farmers do.

New figures show that one in five households no longer bother with a landline（固定电话），and almost a third of those that do never actually use it.The vast majority of people who still have a home phone ——72 percent ——say they only have it because it is part of their broadband package.But that's not the only reason to desert the home phone - 20 percent of those surveyed said that they were fed up with the number of cold calls and would-be scammers（诈骗者）.Digital media expert Dr. Elinor Carmi said there was a generational and social divide in phone use. She explained："If you,re young and have the mobility to go outside, you would rely on a mobile phone. But if you are older, disabled and perhaps poorer, our research shows you're more likely to use a landline. If you are richer, you will have access to more smart devices --- a smart TV, smartphone or laptop. But the poorer you are --- or if you are older, your use of these devices is more limited.”Last year, research from regulator Ofcom found that the amount of time spent on landline calls annually in theUKhad halved over just six years, to 54 billion minutes. The new study also showed that more than a quarter of households have decided to find a broadband provider that does not charge for their unused landline, but only six percent have done so.12.
