AScientific educational toys can develop kid’s reasoning, problem-solving and critical thinking capacity and improve their hand-eye coordination (协调). But the most powerful thing is that the children will associate learning with fun. That means they will grow into adults with a thirst for knowledge and a highly developed set of skills for learning. Here are some of the best:·Science KitYou can guarantee two things if you buy your kids one: a lot of fun and a lot of mess. It’s a 20-piece kit that teaches the basics of chemical reactions. It’s recommended for kids aged 6 and above, with adult company. You don’t have to be a scientist, since there is an activity book with instructions for possible experiments.·Mini Terra KitYou don’t have to wait for the sun to come out to teach kids about the natural world. This all-inclusive kit is a miniature garden that simulates a natural environment by using a powerful LED light. It includes a terrariumjar, light-up jar lid, Micro USB charger, and all the natural ingredients to get started. It also has a simple instruction booklet that you can work through with your kids.·Gravity RunThis classic is not just about building a structure and watching the marbles go up and down. The games are designed for kids aged 8+ to develop spatial awareness, planning, and reasoning. With 60 challenges (beginner to expert), this award-winning game can be enjoyed by all the family. The expert levels are actually quite challenging, so be prepared for some failures.·WeRo KitThis prize-winning robot toy features over 840 pieces, a WeRo Move Hub, Interactive Moto, and a Distance Sensor. You can build it into 5 completely different robots, meaning endless fun for the kids and even adults. Once they’ve built the character of their choice, they can programme it to perform countless tasks including walking and talking on its own.21. What is the greatest strength of scientific educational toys?A. Training young scientists.B. Stimulating learning desireC. Developing hand-eye coordination.22. Which toy suits kids who enjoy growing plants?A. Science killB. Mini Terra Kit.C. Gravity Run.D. WeRo Kit.23. What is special about WeRo Kit?A. It has different levels.B. It is the only prize-winner.C. It requires parental guidance.D. It involves programming skills.BSometimes a book comes along that isn’t just “interesting” or “well done”-- it’s a book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you. A book like that for me was released this week. It’s called 100 Things We’v e Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul.Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, print newspapers, the joys of being bored, and hot having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket.As I’m a longtime accumulator of random knowledge, certain entries on the list---Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor is---hit me where live; remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds.On and on the list goes, with every minor shift adding to the pile. What this book does so well is illustrate the growth of that pile; while any individual item might be no big deal, the collected set is significa nt. It’s a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then.Obviously, Paul isn’t saying that everything back then was better. Time marches on, after all. and it’s tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives. But that isn’t really the point. It’s not about whether it used to be better. It’s that it used to be different.100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul’s memories and experiences. We remember what it was like and we like to remember. The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift again as technology’s advancement continues apace. This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost.24. What is the purpose of the text?A. To review and recommend a good read.B. To comment on the effect of the Internet.C. To argue for the viewpoint of a new book.D. To urge the readers to value what they have.25. Which might be entries on Pau l’s list?A. Maps and Eye Contact.B. E-pay and Compact Disks.C. Postcards and HomeschoolingD. Bad Photos and Washing Machines.26. What does the underlined phrase “hit me where l live” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Prove what I’m good at.B. Introduce how I grew up.C. Describe the place I live in.D. Speak out what is on my mind.27. What conclusion has the author drawn after reading Paul’s book?A. Things in the past are better.B. There’re no gains without pains.C. The internet is a double-edged sword.D. Technology is constantly changing the world.CDiscoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region’s ancient Shu Kingdom Civilization shared similarities with the Maya.The Sanxingdui ruins belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years, while the Mayan civilization built its city-states around 200 AD.The bronze-made remains of tress unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in the Mayan civilization. “They are very important similarities,” says Santos, a Mexic an archaeologist (考古学家) stressing that “the representations of tress in both cultures provide a symbolism that is very similar”.The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins, considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, also show ne aspect of Bronze Age culture, indicating the ancient civilization already had technologies that were thought to have been developed much later.While the lime span between the Shu kingdom and the Mayan culture is great, the findings highlight the closeness between the two civilizations. They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their worldview through related symbols. “In the end, man is still man, independent of time and space. What we have is that, at this latitude (纬度), both the Shu people and the Mayans looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon,” the expert says.One notable feature of the recent discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross-subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts as fragile as silk remains, which other types of less careful digging methods would not have been able to register.Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Mayan world, where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.“Every tim e our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak one language or another, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental,” says Santos.28. What is a similarity between the Shu Kingdom and Maya civilization?A. Their starting time.B. Their historical origins.C. Their cultural symbols.D. Their ceremony traditions.29. The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins have proved that ______.A. silk was a common clothing material thenB. some technologies were developed much earlierC. the Bronze Age started earlier than previously assumedD. the Shu Kingdom and the Mayan world had close contact30. What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins?A. Damp weather.B. Positioning of ruins.C. High latitude.D. Language barriers.31. What is the focus of Santos quote in the last paragraph?A. The future of the China-Mexico cooperation.B. The benefits of speaking a different language.C. The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge.D. The increasing sisterhood in culture between China and Mexico.DSeveral years ago, Jason Box, a scientist from Ohio, flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a glacier (冰川) in Greenland. He and his team spread them across 10,000 feet of ice, then left. His idea was that the white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun, keeping the ice cool below. When he came back to check the results, he found it worked. Exposed ice had melted faster than covered ice. He had not only saved two feet of glacier in a short time. No coal plants were shut down, no jobs were lost, and nobody was taxed or fired. Just the sort of fix we’re looking for.“Thank you, but no thank you.” says Ralph King. a climate scientist. He told Grey Childs. author and commentator, that people think technology can save the planet, “but there are other things we need to deal with, like consumption. They burned $50,000 just for the helicopter” to bring the plastic to the glacier. This experiment, quote-unquote, gives people false hope that climate change can be fixed without changing human behavior. It can’t. Technology won’t give us a free ride.Individuals respond to climate change differently. Climatologist Kelly Smith is hardly alone in her prediction that someday soon we won’t be climate victims, we will be climate Choosers. More scientists agree with her that if the human race survives. The engineers will get smarter, the tools will get better, and one day we will control the climate. but that then? “Just the mention of us controlling the climate sent a small shiver down my back, Grey writes.” “Something sounded wrong about stopping ice by our own will,” he says.Me? I like it better when the earth takes care of itself, I guess one day we will have to run the place, but for the moment, sitting at my desk, looking out at the trees bending wildly and the wind howling, I’m happy not to be in charge.32. Why does the author mention Jason Box’s experiment in the fir st paragraph?A. To introduce a possible solution to climate change.B. To describe a misleading attempt to fix the climate.C. To report on a successful experiment on saving the glacier.D. To arouse people’s attention to the problem of global warmin g.33. Which statement would Ralph King most probably agree with?A. The fight against climate change will not succeed.B. Technology is-not the final solution, let alone its high cost.C. It’s best to deal with climate change without changing our behavior.D. Jason’s experiment plays a significant role in fixing climate change.34. What is Grey Child’s attitude to human’s controlling the climate?A. FavorableB. TolerantC. Doubtful.D. Unclear.35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. But should we fix the climate?B. Is climate change a real problem?C. How can we take care of the earth?D. What if all the glaciers disappeared?第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

She was usually her own worst critic, but today Adriana was pleased with what she saw. Sunset was her best work yet! Not that her classmates would agree. Their reaction to her abstract art was always “What’s that supposed to be?” or “Artists use brushes to paint, not knives, string and cloth.” Still, she didn’t care. Adriana painted to please herself, not others.When she showed the work to Mr. Marcus, her middle school art teacher, the net day, he shook his head and said sternly, “Please Adriana, I’ve had enough of this.” Anyone hearing this comment and its tone would naturally think Mr. Marcus was criticizing her work, but it was his frustration speaking. He loved Adriana’s paintings and had repeatedly begged her to show them publicly. She always refused.As her middle school graduation approached, however, Adriana began worrying about university. Her parents would cover her study fees, but Adriana planned to pay for heruniversity books, art supplies and accommodation herself. So, this time, when Mr. Marcus made the suggestion, Adriana agreed. A disbelieving grin appeared on Mr. Marcus’s face.The following day, after checking the newspapers and visiting several local real estate offices, Adriana and Mr. Marcus wandered around the town looking for a suitable location. Finally, though, they could not find anything within their price range.At the day’s end, the pair entered a small coffee shop to rest. Mr. Marcus could see the disappointment on Adriana’s face and, as a woman came to take their order, said, “Don't worry. We’ll find somewhere to show your art.” On hearing this, the woman said, “Did you say art? You know we show local artists’ works right here in the café,” pointing to the paintings hanging on the walls. “Bring a few of your pieces around tomorrow for me to look at. I’m Susan by the way, the owner.” After thanking Susan for her offer, Adriana and Mr. Marcus left the cafe in amazement.The next morning Adriana brought along Sunset and Mr. Marcus the two paintings of Adriana’s he’d purchased earlier that year. Susan studied the paintings in silence, concentrating hard on each one. After what felt like a lifetime, she turned to Adriana and said, “I’d be honoured to hang these in my café.”24.What can we learn about Adriana from the first paragraph?A.She was very independent in her thinking.B.She was not very popular with her classmates.C.She was easily affected by other people’s opinions.D.She was very confident in her own artistic abilities.25.What was Mr. Marcus’s opinion of Adriana’s paintings?A.Strongly critical.B.Very positive.C.Somewhat frustrating.D. A little confusing.26.Why did Adriana finally agree to show her artwork?A.Her high school graduation was getting nearer.B.She felt guilty about troubling Mr. Marcus.C.Her parents were in desperate need of money.D.She wanted to help support herself during university.27.Adriana finally found a place to show her artwork mainly because of ________.A.friendly encouragementB.strong determinationC.careful planningD.good luckCAs we continue to explore farther out into our solar system and beyond, the question of humans living on other planets often comes up. Manned bases on the Moon or Mars for example, have long been a dream of many. There is a natural desire to explore as far as we can go, and also to extend humanity's presence on a permanent or at least semi-permanent basis. In order to do this, however, it is necessary to adapt to different extreme environments. On the Moon for example, a colony must be self-sustaining and protect its inhabitants from the airless, harsh environment outside.Mars, though, is different. While future bases could adapt to the Martian environment over time there is also the possibility of modifying the surrounding environment instead of just co-existing with it. This is the process of terraforming - adjusting Mars’ atmosphere and environment to make it more Earth-like. But the bigger question is, should we?One of the main issues is whether Mars has any native life or not and if it does, should it be preserved as much as possible? If the answer is yes, then large-scale human settlements on Mars should be completely off-limits. Small colonics might be fine, but living on Mars should not be at the expense of any native habitats, if they exist. If Mars is home to any indigenous life, then terraforming should be a non-issue; it simply should not be done.What if Mars is lifeless? Even if no life exists there, that untouched and unique alien environment needs to be preserved as it is as much as possible. We’ve already done too much damage here on our own planet. By studying Mars and other planets and moons in their current natural state, we can learn so much about their history and also learn more about our own world. We should appreciate (he differences of other worlds instead of just transforming them to suit our own ambitions.28. What is the best title for the text?A. A Is there life on Mars?B.Can we adapt to Mars?C.Should we terraform Mars?D.Are Mars and Earth So Different?29. What does the author think we should do if life is found on Mars ?A.Ensure that it's not harmed.B.Negotiate with the Martians.C.Change the unpopulated regions.D.Assess the advantages and disadvantages.30. What does the underlined word “indigenous” in paragraph 3 mean?plex.B. Native.C. Foreign.D. Intelligent31 How does the author develop his ideas in the text?A.By referring to others' research.B.By evaluating different planets.C.By justifying the benefits of terraforming.D.By arguing in support of one viewpoint.DAfter 400 years, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is still widely celebrated as a great crafter of language and playwright (剧作家).But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting impact on theatre. While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is rightly considered China’s greatest playwright and is highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jiangxi Province, and worked as a government official until, in 1598 and aged 49, he retired to focus on writing. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays and poems, Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, A Dream under a Southern Bough, Dream of Handan and The Peony Pavilion -widely considered to be his masterpiece. In the latter three, much of the story is told through dream sequences. Tang used these scenes to explore human emotions in ways that challenged the feudal system of his time. It is a similar dream structure that we find in Shakespeare^ A Midsummer Night's Dream.Tang lived towards the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and, similarly to Shakespeare, his lasting success was partly due to the growth of theatre as an artistic practice during his lifetime. As in Shakespeare's England, it became hugely popular in China, with public theatres opening in different cities and traveling performance groups becoming common. Theatrical audiences started to populate open public spaces, and theatre as a popular form of entertainment found its place outside palaces. However, unlike in Shakespeare’s England, there was hardly any mixing of the rich with commoners at theatrical events.During this time, the way in which play-texts were enjoyed, spread and performed also changed. Initially, Chinese dramas had an emphasis on poetic language and were distributed in book form, to be read like novels. They were seldom, if ever, performed. However, from the mid-16th century, kunqu opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southern China to become a symbol of Chinese culture.While Tang and Shakespeare lived a world away from each other, they share in commonthe humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for language, a lasting popularity — and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.32. Why does the writer refer to Shakespeare throughout this article about Tang?A. To compare the writing styles of the writers.B. To emphasize Tang’s importance in literature.C. To assess the achievements of these two great writers.D. To examine the different influences of Tang and Shakespeare.33. What distinguishes The Purple Hairpin from Tang’s other plays?A. It does not rely heavily on dream scenes.B. It is widely considered to be his best work.C. It was the only play to be publicly performed.D. It challenged the feudal system of ancient China.34. What characteristic was shared by both English and Chinese theatre during Tang’s lifetime?A. Music and poetry were present in most performances.B. The popularity of public theatrical performances grew rapidly.C. Different social classes often attended the same performances.D. Most plays were written to be read as novels rather than performed.35. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?A. Tang’s plays were superior to his poems.B. Tang is more widely read than Shakespeare.C. Tang is the best playwright in Chinese history.D. Tang and Shakespeare knew of each other s works.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。

AExercising regularly not only helps you keep slim, but also improves your overall health and wellbeing. Different exercises produce different results, as they focus on alternate parts of the body. There are four broad exercise categories: endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance. Many people often only focus on one exercise type, but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury.EnduranceEndurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate. By doing endurance exercises, you are working to keep your heart, lungs, and blood-flow system healthy while improving your total fitness. Over time these activities will make everyday activities seem easier.StrengthIf you want to build up your muscles, then strength exercises, which are also known as "resistance training'', arc right for you. Even the slightest increase in strength can make a huge difference in your ability to carry out daily tasks. Developing strong muscles also reduces your risk of weak bones.FlexibilityFlexibility exercises help stretch your body's muscles. This allows lor more freedom of movement tor other exercises and can also improve your range of motion, posture, ability to breathe deeply, and blood flow. Also, it reduces the muscle tension caused by stress.BalanceBalance exercises help prevent falls and are especially important to older adults, helping them slay independent. Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with your feel on the ground. Heel — to —toe walking and standing on one loot arc simple ways to improve balance.21. How can a person benefit most from their exercise routine?A. By combining different exercise types together.B. By having sufficient rest between their workouts.C. By concentrating on one training aspect at a time.D. By increasing the frequency of their training gradually.22. Which exercise types arc most useful to improve a person's breathing function?A. Strength and Balance.B. Flexibility and Balance.C. Endurance and Strength.D. Endurance and Flexibility.23. Which part of the body plays the most important role in balance-related exercises?A. Arms.B. Legs.C. Waist.D. Neck.BThe history of microbiology begins with a Dutch cloth maker named Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, a man of no formal scientific education. In the late 1600s, Leeuwenhoek, inspired by the magnifying lenses （放大镜）he used to examine cloth, built some of the first microscopes. He developed a technique to improve the quality of tiny, rounded lenses, some of which could magnify an object up to 270 times. After removing some plaque from between his teeth and examining it under a lens, Leeuwenhoek found tiny misting creatur es, which he called “animalcules”.His observations, which he reported to the Royal Society of London, are among the first descriptions of microbes （微生物）.Leeuwenhoek discovered an entire universe invisible to the human eye. He found different microbes in samples of pond water, rain water, and human blood. He gave the first description of red blood cells, observed plant tissue, examined muscle, and investigated the lite cycle of insects.Nearly two hundred years later. Leeuwenhoek's discovery of microbes helped French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur to develop his "theory of disease". This concept suggested that disease originates from tiny organisms attacking and weakening the body. Pasteur's theory later helped doctors to tight infectious diseases including anthrax, diphtheria, polio, smallpox, tetanus, and typhoid. All these breakthroughs were the result of Leeuwenhoek's original work. Leeuwenhoek did not foresee this legacy.In a 1716 letter. he described his contribution to science this way: "My work, which I've done for a long time, was not pursued in order to gain the praise I now enjoy, but chiefly from a strong desire lor knowledge, which 1 notice resides in me more than in most other men. And therefore, whenever I found out anything remarkable. I ha\e thought it my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that the scientific community might be informed thereof''24. Which of the following best describes Leeuwenhoek?A. A trained researcher with an interest in microbiology.B. A curious amateur who made pioneer studies of microbes.C. A talented scientist interested in finding a cure for disease.D. A bored cloth maker who accidentally made a major discovery.25. The underlined phrase “this legacy'' in paragraph 3 refers to .A. the discovery of microbesB. Pasteur's theory of diseaseC. Leeuwenhoek's contributionD. the origin of the tiny organisms26. What does the quote from Leeuwenhoek's letter suggest?A. He admitted that many of his discoveries happened by chance.B. He considered his work to be central to later medical breakthroughs.C. He was greatly concerned with improving people's living conditions.D. He believed the sharing of knowledge was a key to scientific progress.27. What is the correct order for the following events?a. Magnifying lenses were built.b. The “theory of disease'' was put forward.c. Microbes were discovered in samples of waters.d. Leeuwenhoek's first microscopes were successfully developed.e. Leeuwenhoek explained his thoughts upon his own contribution.A. a-d-c-c-bB. d-a-c-e-bC. a-c-d-b-eD. d-a-e-b-cCAround 200 B.C., Aristophanes, an ancient Greek librarian, developed a system of marks to break up text to make it easier to read. Before this, words were often written in one long sentence without spaces between the words. Today, in many languages including English there is a set of rules on how to use full stops, commas and other text marks. However. some believe this is changing. Dr Robert Frost, who studies language, says people no longer use full stops and other punctuation(标点) symbols because they teel their messages are clear enough without them. So, is punctuation helpful or just troublesome?Yes — punctuation is importantPunctuation is needed in order to make the meaning of written words clear. If a parent messaged say. "It's time to eat children,” this is different from. "It's time to eat children''. 1 he second sentence would probably make you w ant to run in the opposite direction because it sounds as though children were on the menu. The author Jonathan Pierce argues that punctuation can be used to add drama, to break up the sequence of words and change the rhythm of a sentence. “It allows writers to make sentences more interesting so the readers do not get bored,” Pierce claims. “Otherwise. the words run into each other and lose their impact. " Besides. learning the different ways punctuation marks can be used is fun. It can add a lot to the style of writing and make it clearer.No ——we don't need itPunctuation. Even. sentence is badly punctuated .like this one: It can still be, understood This short piece of text shows that it is the words that are the important part of the sentence, not the symbols between them. Oxford-based linguist Kelly Jones says, "It is the order in which the words appear that conveys the meaning, not the punctuation marks. If there is any doubt in the meaning of the sentence, people are clever enough to work out what the person is really trying to say. For instance, when people speak, they do not use punctuation and yet we can still understand each other.'' Also, punctuation can be confusing there are lots of complex rules to observe, and if it is used incorrectly it can cause more problems than if there were none. Punctuation simply isn't needed.28. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To discuss alternative viewpoints.B. To support one argument over another.C. To evaluate the strength of competing ideas.D.

I have to tell you that only the first item on that list is defensible. Although they are important for agriculture, honey bees, which are usually imported from outside the local area, also disturb natural ecosystems by competing with native bees.For several years the media has told us that bee populations are under threat. In response to this media campaign to “save the bees", raising honey bees has become a popular hobby. But as a species, honey bees are least in need of saving. Much media attention is given to honey bees at the expense of native bees, and this has led many citizens — myself once included to mistakenly believe they are doing a good thing for the environment by raising honey bees. Unfortunately, they are probably doing more harm than good.“Beekeeping is for people; it's not a cons ervation practice," says Shelly Smith, an environmental science professor. "People mistakenly think keeping honey bees also helps the native bees, which are at risk of extinction. That's wrong.”Smith and her research team recently surveyed one thousand local people in Canada and found that they had a surprisingly poor understanding of bee types and their roles in promoting flower growth. Most people's attention is on saving honey bees when, from a conservationist's point of view, native bees are the ones in more need of support.“To make matters worse, beekeeping companies and various non — science — based projects have financially benefited from the decline of native bee populations," Smith explains. "These companies pretend they are interested in saving bees but their actions are actually damaging the native bee populations.''The introduction of honey bees increases competition with native bee populations for food, putting even more pressure on the wild species that are already in decline. Honey bees are extremely efficient food gatherers and take over almost all local Hower resources, thus leading to damaging competition — that is, where one species uses upa resource, not leaving enough to go around.32. Which statement does the writer argue for?A. Honey bees endanger native bees.B. Honey bees are a symbol of wealth.C. Honey bees are important for agriculture.D. Honey bees can defend natural ecosystems.33. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A. Beekeeping is a still-popular traditional hobby.B. The media is responsible for misleading the public.C. Citizens' attempts to protect the environment are effective.D. The media campaign has failed to promote honey bee businesses.34. What surprised Shelly Smith's team?A. Beekeeping companies' making great profits.B. The quick expansion of bee-friendly habitats.C. The public's ignorance of bee varieties and roles.D. Insufficient attention given to saving honey bees.35. How docs the writer develop the last paragraph?A. By listing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By analyzing survey data.D. By explaining cause and effect.阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around."Hello?" she called."Celia? Marie?"There was no response.The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it "Forgotten Island" because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends -her, Celia, and Marie.But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault."Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat." Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island.The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form.Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave.So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap.The storm was here.As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem.She was stuck here by herself.She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island.The thought of it sent a chill（寒意）down her back.Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water.It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters.As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.In her excitement Lina jumped into the river.Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving.Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulledher out.She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie.They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.24.What can be inferred about the island？A. It is very near the ocean.B. It is a popular place for boating.C. It is surrounded by thick forest.D. It has never been reached by others.25.Why did Lina get angry？A. Marie would not help row the boat.B. Lina was left alone on the island.C. Marie didn't know how to row the boat.D. Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.26.What caused Lina to feel a chill?A. Her shame about the unnecessary argument.B. The first raindrops of the approaching storm.C. The idea that no one would come to save her.D. The drop in temperature as the sun went down.27.Who pulled Lina out of the water?A. Marie's father.B. Lina herself.C. Marie.D. Celia.CTourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. 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 theirnegative 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.28.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.29.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.30.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.31.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.DBoth honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they work together. As Deborah M. Gordon,a biologist at Stanford University, says," Ants aren't smart. Ant colonies are."The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the colony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a "dance". Different speeds and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new location is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of "sameness" and" difference"to accomplish certain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants.They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they go about their everyday activities.32.What do ants and bees have in common?A. They live in similar-sized colonies.B. They make use of collective intelligence.C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.D. They use the same methods to communicate with each other.33.What does the speed of a bee's dance indicate?A. The quality of a new colony location.B. The distance to a neighboring colony.C. The discovery of a new food source.D. The direction to a potential food source.34.In paragraph 3.how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning ?A. By using statistics.B. By explaining reasons.C. By referencing opinions.D. By presenting study findings.35.What is the benefit of collective intelligence?A. It allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly.B. It improves work cooperation within the colony.C. It reduces the division of labour among members.D. It enables individuals to teach each other new skills.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。

We had found an abandoned Italianate farmhouse with weeds up to our waist. When admiring the property, my brother rolled up the unlocked garage door. “Holy smokes!” There sat this Mercedes. Seeing the number 6.9 on its back, I immediately recognized this to be a rare and unique find.The car’s door was unlocked and in the glove box, I found insurance papers. It turned out that the owner was a dead country doctor. It took me a year to find his widow’s (寡妇的) address, in Richmond. Twice I made the two-hour drive just to knock on her door, striking out both times. On the third try her neighbor was outside and I was able to get the widow’s phone number.I logged approximately 25 voice mails, and still nothing. It was, I thought, just bad luck. I called one last time andheard a voice: “Hello?” From that point on, we struck up a friendship.In July 2018, two years after finding the car, I was ready to buy it from her. We met in the middle- somewhere around what a new Toyota might cost. Still, the night before, I called my brother and said, “I am getting cold feet.”What was I doing buying an old Mercedes? He said, “You are buyin g that great car. And I promise you, the friendship you will make as a result will make this car worth every penny.” And he was right.24. Why did the author go to the Northern Neck?A. To check the house.B. To visit his brother.C. To buy the unique car.D. To enjoy the beautiful sights.25. What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?A. The car was in bad conditions.B. The widow was unwilling to sell the car.C. The car was the doctor's only possession.D. The author had trouble finding the car owner.26. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. He was shocked by the price.B. The weather that day was quite cold.C. He was hesitating to make the decision.D He cared about money more than the car.27. What did Michael think of buying the car?A. It was a waste of money.B. It would cost a great deal.C. Buying the car brought good friendship.D. His brother made a good bargain buying it.CDo you ever pull your phone out of your pocket, thinking it is vibrating (振动), only to find that it isn’t?This phenomenon, which scientists call “phantom (幻觉的) phone vibration”, is very common. Around 80% of people surveyed say they have imagined their phones vibrating when they are actually still.So, what leads to this universal behavior? According to the BBC, the explanation lies in your brain's ability to discover signals from the outside world.When your phone is in your pocket, there are two possible states: It is either vibrating or not. Meanwhile, you also have two possible states of mind: the judgment that the phone is vibrating, or that it isn’t. Ideally, you match the fourstates correctly. However, sometimes your brain decides that the consequences of missing a call are more serious than a “false alarm”. Therefore, y ou become more sensitive to vibrations so that you don’t miss anything This is just like the fire alarm in your home—it can be annoying when it goes off in response to just a tiny bit of smoke. But that’s a small price to pay compared to a fire really breaking out because the alarm fails to alert you. Now, you might still ask: Why can’t our brains just make every judgment correctly without being too sensitive to false signals? The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day. “You get a large amount of sensory information that’s coming from your eyes, ears and skin, and you can’t deal with all that information all the time,”Michael Rothberg, a researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, US, told Live Science.For example, the rustling (沙沙声) of clothing or the growling (咕咕声) of your stomach may both lead your brain to believe that they come from the vibration of your phone—it is like trying to hear your name being called in a noisy room.So, perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think it’s vibrating. It isn’t too much trouble to do that, is it?28. According to this passage, phantom phone vibration _________.A. happens when our brains react too sensitivelyB. is common among people with mental problemsC. can measure people’s ability to collect informationD. helps our brains to make decisions quickly and accurately29. Why did the author use the example of fire alarm in this passage?A. To show us the fire alarm is as sensitive as the phone vibration.B. To help us understand the cause of phantom phone vibration better.C. To tell us the phone vibration usually happens when a fire breaks out.D. To convince us it’s important to check our phones like checking a fire alarm.30. According to Michael Rothberg, what mainly accounts for phantom phone vibration?A. A lack of much attention.B. A noisy background.C. A heavy burden every day.D. An overflow of sensory information.31.What does the author suggest we do about phantom phone vibration?A. We should always fully believe our own sense of hearing.B. We should just check our phones when we think they’re vibrating.C. We should ignore the vibration bothering when our phones are actually still.D. We should think of the vibration carefully before we make correct judgments.DVisual language is a form of communication that uses visual elements (元素) as opposed to formal written language to convey meaning or an idea. Graphicacy, the ability to communicate visually, is considered as important as literacy and numeracy, the abilities to read and count. Some people are visual thinkers, using that part of the brain that is emotional and creative to process and give meaning to information. Visual communication can find expression in paintings, drawings, symbols, or simply lines and shapes arranged for a specific effect.Art is an example of visual language. A painting or sculpture can convey ideas or arouse specific kinds of emotional responses. It may also express ideas about historical events, abstract concepts, or simply be about the way certain shapes or forms “work” together or create a certain effect on the mind. Some researchers believe that different parts of the brain respond in unique ways to colors and shapes.Pictograms (象形文字) and ideograms (表意文字) are types of visual language. Pictograms are pictures that are similar to what they represent. They are still used today to communicate information. Many people around the world are familiar with the pictograms indicating such things as airports, public facilities, and non-smoking areas indicated by a cigarette in a circle with a line across it. Ideograms are pictures that represent ideas and can often be understood without the aid of written language. Some scholars track. modern alphabets to pictures. Letters are actually ancient pictures, and words are a series of pictures. Modern alphabet letters are not only phonetic (语音的) symbols but are based on ancient religious images and symbols.Musivisual communication is also a part of visual language. The term refers to music created specifically to improve the visual experience of fi1lm. It corresponds to the images being seen on the screen, and the music arouses a sense of terror, fear, or other emotions. Most movie goers understand the language of musical clues showing that something dramatic or important is about to happen.32. What is Visual language according to the text?A. An idea conveyed by artists.B. An ability to read and count.C. A system used to arouse emotions.D. A way of processing and expressing information.33. What may be the origin of the modern alphabet letters?A. Public facilities.B. Imaginary lines.C. Living conditions.D. Religious images.34. What can we learn about the music of a film from the last paragraph?A. A visual thinker can make it better.B. It can help the audience predict the plot.C. It often changes without the audience’s notice.D. It makes the film more emotional and complex.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. What Is Visual Language?B. What Is the Origin of Language?C. How can We Learn Visual Language?D. How does Visual Language Affect Life?第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

His parents Aline and Eric quit their jobs a nd resolved to take Mathias to his dream place, French Polynesia.Famous for its otherworldly beauty on the Pacific Ocean, their destination is an extraordinary one with an extraordinary price tag, too. As the family planned the exploration on a budget, a local organization heard about their story and came to their aid. It raised 33,000 euros for their month-long adventure by selling bracelets with the words “waves of love” and holding performances of the Haka dance.Superb things kicked off for the family when they landed. Drumbeats thundered through the air. Crowns and flower necklaces were piled upon the family. Children dressed in grass skirts danced before Mathias in a welcome fit for a president.The place began to heal (治愈) Mathias. He visibly reacted to the smell of tropical flowers, the sound of someone playing the ukulele and the magical feeling of bathing for hours in the arms of his parents in an ocean far warmer than back home. “At first he was a little afraid to enter the ocean since he can’t see as well as before,” Aline said. “But he got his confidence back and it was him who asked to go in.” After so many months of hospital appointments and treatments, the trip offered the chance the family all needed to recharge and disconnect from all of that, and Mathias benefited most all.Despite the magnificent things both above and below the water’s surface, it was the great hospitality from the French Polynesian people that left the biggest impression on the family. Hundreds of offers for everything from guest house accommodations to daytrips on boats rolled in from around the islands.Perez, the organization’s president, said he was inspired not only by the family’s spirits but by the outpouring of love from his community. “Mathias’ dream served as a unifier,” said Perez. “And making it come true proved that-by being all together we can achieve something great.”1.

A new property development in Austin, Texas is set to become the world’s largest community of 3D-printed homes. Scheduled to break ground next year, the project will feature 100 single-story houses with their roofs covered in solar cells. Printed on-site using advanced robotic construction and a concrete-based building material, each of the houses will take approximately a week to build.According to ICON, a Texas-based construction firm specializing in 3D-printed structures, its technology is significantly faster and cheaper than conventional construction methods, partly because it requires less manual labor.“Construction-scale 3D printing not only delivers homes faster and more affordably, but fleets of printers can change the way that entire communities are built for the better,” said Ballard, CEO of ICON. “The United States faces a deficit of approximately 5 million new homes, so there is an urgent need to swiftly increase supply without compromising quality, beauty, or sustainability and that is exactly the strength of our technology.”Advocates believe that the method can cut waste and carbon dioxide emissions. The ability of 3D printers to construct buildings without formwork can significantly reduce overall use of the material which is responsible for about 8% of global CO2 emissions annually. A recent study in Singapore, for instance, found that constructing a bathroom unit using 3D printing produced almost 86% less carbon dioxide than conventional construction methods.Critics have meanwhile pointed out that 3D concrete printing still relies on a non-renewable material, and that structures’ safety and stability are not specifically addressed by existing building codes.Although ICON has yet to reveal prices for the project, Ballard claimed at a press conference that it could deliver a much higher-quality product to the housing market that is typically not available for low-income families. Hopefully, the technology can also be used to fight homelessness and may be employed during disaster relief.“3D printing is not science fiction.” Ballard said at the time. “We have crossed that doorway from science fiction into reality. In the future, our bet is that this will be humanity’s best hope for a housing solution that matches our hi ghest values and ideals.”1. What can we know about the project?A．It is the first of its kind.B．It is half way to completion.C．It will take a week to finish.D．It involves robotic technology.2. What does the underlined word “deficit” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Crisis. B．Shortage. C．Storage. D．Boost.3. The 3D-printed construction method is considered eco-friendly because it_________.A．requires less materialsB．is free of Co2 emissionsC．uses renewable materialsD．produces recyclable waste4. What’s the author’s attitude towards the project?A．Critical. B．Indifferent. C．Objective. D．Approving5. Perhaps you have been writing poems for a while now. 1 What about taking the next step and sharing your work with a larger audience? Here are some tips on how to get started.●Find the market.2 It means those readers wanting to read your writing or a publication interested in receiving your submissions. Your school’s literary magazine, your hometown newspaper, poetry websites are all great places to start submitting your work.Another way to get your poems into print is by entering contests. Contests can encourage you to write about new subjects and try different poetic forms. This does help a lot for more chances.● 3If you want your poetry to be considered seriously by editors and contest judges, take their rules seriously. Be clear about all the requirements. 4 And double check for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors to make sure that you offer the best version. Doing these, you’ll be ahead of the game.●Keep good records.Start a loose-leaf notebook containing all your poems. Every time. you submit a poem, note down the date, the market and the outcome of the submission. You can also make a document that tracks all the poems you have submitted on a laptop or smartphone.●Don’t give up!Every poet must get used to rejection. Your work is probably turned down. But it’s not a shame. Instead, it can be taken as a fun experience. It is a part of the publishing process, especially for beginni ng writers. Don’t stop writing or submitting! 56.

第四部分第一节The summer job is a tradition among American university students.Long after the end of thebeforeschool year, students start their summer vacation job search. They send letters to businesses, goinggoto job interviews, and ask our friends and relatives for help. By June the students usually havetheirbeen found their jobs and then they begin preparing to enter the world of works.workReasons for wanting a summer job differs from student to student. Some work^ help pay theirdiffer toschool expenses; others work to gain experience in their chosen professions; still others work justfor the funny of it. Salesmen or waiters are two of the much common jobs that students try to findfun and mostduring the summer months.第二部分（1）Dear Alice,I can feel from your email that this issue with your parents is greatly affecting you and really appreciate that you trust me enough to want my advice.Coincidentally, I met a similar situation last summer. Initially, like you, I really didn’t want to go travelling with my parents. But then I thought of things from their point of view. I go to university next year, so, for them, this may have been the last time we’d all travel together as a family. I understood that rather than trying to control me, they just wanted to spend more time with me, so I chose to go and we had a fantastic time together!I think you shouldn’t be in such a hurry to grow up. Treasure the time you have with your parents now as neither you nor they will be around forever.I hope my own experience helps you and that you find a solution.Yours,Li Hua（2）Dear Alice,I’m flattered to know you have such confidence in my opinions that you would write to me for advice, but more importantly I’m sorry to read that you’re having this problem with your parents.I think that you should explain to your parents that you are mature enough to travel without their supervision. It’s natural for parents to worry, so why don’t you show them where you plan to go, who you’re going with and where you will stay. It might also help if you introduce your friends to reassure them. Finally provide them with the contact details so they can get in touch with you.Parents often resist their children growing up. It’s up to you to gently show them it is time to loosen the strings.I hope this advice will be useful to you and good luck with your decision.Yours,Li Hua附录：书面表达评分参考书面表达旨在考查学生的英语书面表达能力，评价其能否运用相关常识和语言知识进行有效的文字表达，完成特定的交际任务。
