请阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the __36__you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites, such as micro-blog, blog and the Facebook, have actually become __37__ of the school hallways(走廊), so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to __38__your online __39__and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were __40__ with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no __41__to be good at new technology. __42__, more and more parents are beginning to__43__just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the _44_ to educate themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are __45__to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over __46__that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is __47__when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our __48__ lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “refuse” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to __49__. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a(n) __50__of being watched and no longer feel __51__to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t __52__mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be truly __53___.” Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the __54__ if you do choose not to __55__ them to your friends list.

If you have the opportunity to visit some places in New Zealand, then the list below is our recommendation.
Fiordland National Park
This park is part of the South Westland World Heritage Area and is New Zealand’s largest national park and one of the largest in the world. The scenery in Fiordland is nothing short of extremely beautiful, with steep mountains, wild waterfalls, and abundant rain forests. Being able to come back and forth in its deep bay attracts most of the visitors.
The area has some of the world’s greatest walks including the world famous Milford Track, which was described as the finest walk in the world in the early twentieth century.
Abel Tasman National Park
Abel Tasman may be New Zealand’s smallest national park, but the attractions are huge. Located in one of New Zealand’s sunniest spots, the area also has the best beaches in the country.
The popular Abel Tasman Walk is a great way to see this park. It takes 3-5 days to complete. Sea taxis are also available and can drop you off at any number of beaches within the park.
Rotorua
Accessible from New Zealand’s biggest city, Auckland, Rotorua is famous for its volcanic activities. Rotorua is also famous for its plentiful lakes which are great for swimming and fishing. The surrounding area contains plenty of native bushes and some famous walks.
Rotorua is also the best area in the country to experience and learn about Maori culture.
Mt Cook National Park
Mt Cook as well as the surrounding area is an alpine(高山的) park within the World Heritage listed in South Westland. The biggest peaks in all of Australasia are here. The park doesn’t contain many trees or plants due to the altitude. Walks range from a twohour walk to difficult tracks suitable for experienced mountaineers only.
A helicopter or plane ride gives visitors excellent views of the mountains with the option of landing at the top of Tasman Glacier, a true permanent snowcovered alpine environment.

As I was thinking about language learning the other day, the image of baking bread came into my mind. I compared some of the exercises and drills that we put ourselves through in order to learn a language to the various ingredients that go into baking a loaf of fresh bread.
Real language learning takes place in human relationships. No one sits down and eats a cup of flour, even if he is hungry and in a hurry. You don’t become bilingual(双语的)by learning lists of vocabulary. You don’t become a speaker of a language by memorizing verb conjugations(动词的词形变化)and agreement rules. You become bilingual by entering a community that uses that other language as its primary means of communication.
I am not suggesting that we can make bread without ingredients. Flour is necessary, as are yeast, salt, water and other ingredients. Vocabulary is part of any language and will have to be learned. Grammatical rules exist in every language and cannot be ignored. But merely combining the appropriate ingredients in the recommended proportions does not result in bread. At best, you only end up with a ball of dough(面团).
In order to get bread, you have to apply heat to the dough. And in language learning, that heat comes from the community. Anyone who has learned a second language has experienced that heat. It creeps up your neck when you ask the babysitter, “Have you already been eaten?” when you meant to say, “Have you already eaten?” When you try to say something quite innocent and the whole room bursts into laughter, you are experiencing the heatthat turns raw dough into good bread.
Remember the old saying, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”? This is where language learning often breaks down because we find the heat uncomfortable and we stop the baking process. In other words, we can’t stand the heat, so we get out of the kitchen.
However, the language learner who stays in the kitchen—in the heat—until the combined ingredients are thoroughly transformed will enjoy the richness of a quality loaf of bread. He said that he did not “get out of the kitchen” at the critical moment when the oven seemed too hot. The dedicated language learner knows that becoming bilingual cannot be achieved without the heat!
59. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. how we can make baking bread with various ingredients
B. how to become bilingual by communicating with others
C. what an important role “heat” plays in learning a language
D. what a high quality of bread you may achieve in the kitchen
60. You can become a speaker of a language by _______.
A. bearing millions of words and expressions in your mind
B. using the language to communicate with those around you
C. knowing verb conjugations and grammatical rules
D. saying something innocent to be laughed at by others
61. What’s the purpose of illustration of the example — you ask the babysitter, “Have you already been eaten?” when you meant to say, “Have you already eaten?”?
A. To prove that you are sure to make some mistakes when you enter a community.
B. To show that you should combine the ingredients in the recommended proportions.
C. To prove that you may experience “heat” from the community in language learning.
D. To indicate that being bilingual calls for your courage, confidence and perseverance.
62. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the necessity of baking bread and learning language?
A. Wonderful skills.B. Various ingredients.
C. Appropriate proportions.D. Uncomfortable heat.
C
Wilderness
“In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world.” This is a famous saying from a writer regarded asone of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.
As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr.Sauven, these “ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.
Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.
I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.
This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.
63. John Sauven holds that_____.
A. many people value nature too much
B. exploitation of wildernesses is harmful
C. wildernesses provide humans with necessities
D. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong
64. What is the main idea of Para3?
A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.
B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.
C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.
D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.
65. What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?
A. Objective. B. Disapproving.C. Sceptical. D. Optimistic.
66. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A B. C. D.
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion
D
No one has a temper naturally so good, that it does not need attention and cultivation, and no one has a temper so bad, but that, by proper culture, it may become pleasant. One of the best disciplined tempers ever seen, was that of a gentleman who was naturally quick, irritable, rash, and violent; but, by taking care of the sick, and especially of mentally deranged(疯狂的) people, he so completely mastered himself that he was never known to be thrown off his guard.
There is no misery so constant, so upsetting, and so intolerable to others, as that of having a character which is your master. There are corners at every turn in life, against which we may run, and at which we may break out in impatience, if we choose.
Look at Roger Sherman, who rose from a humble occupation to a seat in the first Congress of the United States, and whose judgment was received with great respect by that body of distinguished men. He made himself master of his temper and cultivated it as a great business in life. There are one or two instances which show this part of his character in a light that is beautiful.
One day, after having received his highest honors, he was sitting and reading in his sitting room. A student, in a room close by, held a lookingglass in such a position as to pour the reflected rays of the sun directly in Mr. Sherman's face. He moved his chair, and the thing was repeated. A third time the chair was moved, but the lookingglass still reflected the sun in his eyes. He laid aside his book, went to the window, and many witnesses of the rude behavior expected to see the ungentlemanly student severely punished. He raised the window gently, and then—shut the window blind!
I can not help providing another instance of the power he had acquired over himself. He was naturally possessed of strong passions, but over these he at length obtained an extraordinary control. He became habitually calm and selfpossessed. Mr Sherman was one of those men who are not ashamed to maintain the forms of religion in their families. One morning he called them all together as usual to lead them in prayer to God. The “old family Bible” was brought out and laid on the table.
Mr Sherman took his seat and placed beside him one of his children, a child of his old age. The rest of the family were seated around the room, several of whom were now grownups. Besides these, some of the tutors of the college were boarders in the family and were present at the time. His aged mother occupied a corner of the room, opposite the place where the distinguished Judge sat.
At length, he opened the Bible and began to read. The child who was seated beside him made some little disturbance, upon which Mr Sherman paused and told it to be still. Again he continued but again he had to pause to scold the little offender, whose playful character would scarcely permit it to be still. At this time he gently tapped its ear. The blow, if blow it might be called, caught the attention of his aged mother, who now with some effort rose from the seat and tottered across the room. At length, she reached the chair of Mr Sherman, and in a moment, most unexpectedly to him, she gave him a blow on the ear with all the force she could gather. “There，” said she, “you strike your child, and I will strike mine.”
For a moment, the blood was seen mounting to the face of Mr Sherman. But it was only for a moment and all was calm and mild as usual. He paused; he raised his glasses; he cast his eye upon his mother; again it fell upon the book from which he had been reading. Not a word escaped him; but again he calmly pursued the service, and soon sought in prayer an ability to se t an example before his household which should be worthy of their imitation. Such a victory was worth more than the proudest one ever achieved on the field of battle.
67. The following sentence should be put at the beginning of Paragraph ________.
The difference in the happiness which is received by the man who governs his temper and that by the man who does not is dramatic(戏剧性的，巨大的).
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
68. What was Roger Sherman's attitude towards his aged mother?
A. Grateful. B. Skeptical. C. Tolerant. D. Sympathetic.
69. What can we learn about Roger Sherman?
A. He came from a distinguished family background.
B. He was not good at displaying his true inner feelings.
C. He severely punished a student who didn't behave himself.
D. He was a man conscious of the consequences of his behavior.
70. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A. Mr Sherman's face was covered with blood.
B. Mr Sherman was seeking strength in prayer.
C. Mr Sherman was then on the point of exploding.
D. Mr Sherman was ashamed of his mother's rude behavior.

第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。
When a thought has found words
Poetry is the forgotten child of literature. Few people read it for pleasure and modern poets are looked upon as odd creatures from a strange universe. In Western high schools, poetry is seldom taught because it is considered old-fashioned and not relevant to the needs of today’s students.
In China, however, poetry is still an important part of the curriculum and, with recent changes announced by the Ministry of Education, the number of poems students will have to memorize and recite is being increased from fourteen to seventy-two. Now, before you gasp in horror, let’s think about the reasons why studying so many poems, especially ancient poems, is important.
First of all, poetry is an essential part of traditional Chinese culture. It is a pathway to understanding your history and your society. It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and emotions that are common to everyone but which we may be unable to express—the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon, for example. Everyone has feelings of joy, love, loneliness, sadness and even anger, and a good poem can put those emotions into words and bring us self-understanding.
Poems can also express beauty. In a few short lines, even something commonplace can become beautiful. Here is a poem called “Fog” by Carl Sandberg: The fog comes / on silent haunches (弓腰蹲着) / and then moves on. Yes, fog does move smoothly, silently and mysteriously like a cat, and Sandberg captures that feeling and image, and makes it beautiful.
Of course, to really appreciate poetry, it has to be really aloud. After all, a poem is really just a song without music. Most ancient poetry, especially Western poetry, was actually spoken before it was written. Take Homer’s Iliad (伊利亚德), the story of the Trojan War (特洛伊战争), for example. That epic saga (史诗般的故事) of Helen’s kidnapping and the war that followed was apparently told for hundreds of years in palaces, taverns (客栈) and on street corners before Homer wrote it down and was given credit for it.
The American poet Robert Frost said, “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” And poems are very concise—there is not a wasted word. You are lucky that you now have seventy-two poems to learn!

Awkward situation Poetryis thought to be (71)______ from the life of people and poets beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

第六部分：书面表达(满分20分)
请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
It's a question every socialmedia user faces after taking a great photo: Should I post this? Or is it going to come back to worry me? The questions get doubly complex when they involve children. A parent on average will post almost 1，000 photos of a child online before the child turns five, according to a recent survey. Are parents putting kids at risk by oversharing on social media?
Here are the selections of the views.
Lauren Apfel(US)
The big reason to share is to build a community. I live, for example, thousands of miles from my family. In this atmosphere of modern parenthood, we all struggle to make it through the day, and the Internet has become a source of support. In the early years of mothering twins, one of the things that brought me the most happiness was posting pictures of them on Facebook. Sharing those photos and engaging with an online community was a lifeline.
Dracarys(China)
I don't post pictures of my kids online because I don't like when friends of mine post photos of me online. It feels way too public and exhibitionist to me. So I treat my kids the way I want to be treated. That is probably what the parents who are comfortable with online photos think, too, when they decide to put the photos out there.
【写作内容】
1. 用约30个单词写出上文概要。
2. 用约120个单词阐述你对家长在社交网络上分享孩子照片的看法，并用2—3个理由或论据支撑你的理由。
【写作要求】
1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句。
2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。
3. 不必写标题

Possible version 1：
While it is common for a parent to post children's photos nowadays, people take different attitudes toward it. Some think it's beneficial while others are anxious about it.
In my opinion, posting children's photos online is beneficial for people and makes a child better known. As a result, he is likely to have more chances to be successful in the future. It will also be easier for parents to communicate with other friends, for they have more to share with each other. Besides, it's a way to strengthen an online social circle and connect with people we don't know before.
Although there may be some disadvantages that come with posting children's photos, it's not necessary to be too cautious about it. We should have confidence in our society because we won't throw away the apple because of the core.
Possible version 2：
While it's common for a parent to post children's photos nowadays, people take different attitudes toward it. Some think it's beneficial while others are anxious about it.
In my opinion, it is not always the smartest or safest thing to do so. What parents view as delightful photos may be interpreted differently by others and give a false image of what the child is really like. Besides, there is a growing crime called “digital kidnapping” in which individuals or companies steal children's images and use them in advertisements or other commercial activities. Apart from the obvious dangers of identity theft, it can result in them being reshared and altered by other online users without permission, which may end up damaging their school status or future career prospects.
In short, although sharing children's photos online does have advantages, parents should be cautious about it.

Now, dear classmates,I would like to tell you something about my school life now.When I was seven years old,I began to go to school—a primary school.There I learned Chinese,history,and math. I studied very hard there and my parents were quite proud of me.
Five years later,I entered a junior high school where I learned physics,chemistry and so on.I did very well in all subjects and was especially interested in IT.I often went online to search for some useful information I needed.I also chose a net-school,from which I improved my English.Besides,I got on well with all the students and teachers.In my spare time,I helped my parents with the housework.
Now I am studying in senior high school,and I find life is quite different from that in junior high.We have to depend on ourselves more in our study and everyday life.To my delight,you are so kind to me and some of you often help me when I am in trouble.I will work harder than ever!That’s all.Thank you for your attention.

The Coolest Inventions
Easy-On Shoes
In 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for $ 130.
An Oceans Vacuum
There’s a collection of plastic rubbish in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than Texas and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both expensive and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project suggests a 62-mile-long floating wall that would use natural currents to trap rubbish . If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the rubbish by 42 % over 10 years.
An Airport for Drones (无人机)
As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: What kinds of home bases will their drones have? Rwanda, in Africa, may have the answer. There, workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. The goals is to make it easier to transport food, medical supplies, electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside. Construction is set to be completed in 2020.
21、What do we know about Nike?
A、It offers free shoes to the disabled.
B、It is designing new shoes frequently.
C、It responded to Matthew’s request unwillingly.
D.、It provides customer-friendly services.
22、What’s the advantage of the Oceans Vacuum?
A、It can catch rubbish slowly. B、It can save money.
C、It can damage plastic into pieces. D.、It can be put into wide use soon.
23、Why is Rwanda setting up “drone ports”?
A、Because road travel there is rough.
B、Because there are too many drones.
C、Because they’re easier to construct than roads.
D、Because there are too many goods.

Tu Youyou, the 86yearold Chinese female scientist，received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in Stockholm on October 5, 2015. Tu is the first Chinese Nobel winner in Medicine for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria.
Based on a fourthcentury traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) text, together with her team, she discovered artemisinin(青蒿素)from sweet wormwood through trial and error, the key drug that has reduced death rates of malaria. Tu delivered a speech titled “Artemisinin is a gift from TCM to the world”. She has demanded more research into the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine and called for joint efforts worldwide to develop more uses for TCM, which she called “a great treasure with thousands of years' history ”. She said that by combining TCM with modern scientific technologies, “more potential can be discovered in searching for new drugs”.
According to the WHO, more than 240 million people in Africa have benefited from artemisinin, and more than 1.5 million lives have been saved since 2000 thanks to the drug. Apart from its contribution to the global fight against malaria, TCM played a vital role in the deadly outbreak of SARS across China in 2003.
Besides treating viruses, TCM has been most effective in treating difficult multisource illnesses, and using nonmedicinal methods such as acupuncture (针灸疗法) and breathing exercises.
However, TCM is seldom understood or accepted by the West. “Tu's success will bring more recognition and respect for TCM，” experts say. The Western world should learn to appreciate the value of the treasures of TCM, which will lead to more basic scientific research into ancient TCM texts and ways to explore research findings worldwide.
24、Which of the following is true? ______.
A、Tu Youyou discovered artemisinin easily.
B、Tu Youyou was the first Nobel Prize winner in China.
C、Tu Youyou got the Nobel Prize for her research into TCM.
D、Tu's discovery of artemisinin has helped cut Malaria death rate.
25、What benefit does TCM bring to people?
A、It helps save 240 million lives in China.
B、It will probably help develop new drugs
C、It helps carry out scientific research worldwide.
D、It helps fight against only malaria and SARS .
26、Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A、TCM : a great treasure to the world
B、Artemisinin : a key drug to fight against malaria.
C、Tu Youyou’s success and influence on TCM.
D、Tu Youyou’s research into the value of TCM .
C
This year, Facebook, the social media website, announced that it would cooperate with several news organizations—including The New York Times and the BBC—to place news stories directly into users' personal Facebook web pages.The deal shows how important social media has become to news organizations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing.
Many thought of it as the death of the newspaper, when Google News began in 2002. It had no human editor. Instead, Google used, and still uses, a computer programme that selects news stories according to the readers' personal interests. More recently, the Associated Press and Yahoo have been publishing computerwritten articles. Both use special software to automatically produ ce stories about company financial results and sports reports—areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.
I think we should be concerned about such developments. One concern is that Facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline(副业), a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn't their main function—so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.
There's another concern that computerwritten articles are not actual journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A wellwritten news story offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.
Although economics and the speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computerwritten story over a carefully shaped article—at least for daily news—I don't think the computers will be writing any indepth articles for a while yet.
27、Computerwritten news reports have focused on sports and finance because ________.
A、these are the most popular topics for online readers.
B、information on these topics is more easily available.
C、writing quality is less important than accuracy in these areas.
D、there are fewer journalists specializing in these areas
28、What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A、Business. B、Journalism.
C、Facebook. D、Advertising.
29、In Paragraph 4, which of the following is a characteristic of a wellwritten news article?
A、The information presented is up to date.
B、The author's opinion is clear.
C、The language used is beautiful.
D、Different views on the topic are presented.
30、What is the main purpose of the article?
A、To express concern about recent trends in online news.
B、To advise readers against reading computerwritten news.
C、To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook.
D、To describe the process of online news reporting.

M: I’m sorry, miss. The bank is low on cash, so all customers can only take out $300 today. You’ll have to come back tomorrow to get the other $200.
W: Oh no! I need the money to fix my broken car. It’s at the shop right now. I can’t get to the office if I can’t get it fixed. I could lose my job!
M: I’m sorry I can’t help you, miss. Here is $300. Maybe the car repair shop will take the rest tomorrow.

M: Hey, the water bill for last month just arrived.
W: Okay. We still haven’t paid for the gas yet. Let’s share them together.
M: Sure.
W: Anyway, what are you going to do today?
M: Well, I was going to meet up with my sister and some friends by the beach, but it looks like it will rain soon.
W: Yeah. I’m afraid it’s going to be a rainy weekend.
M: That’s too bad. I was really looking forward to playing volleyball on the beach. So what’s your plan today?
W: I’m having some classmates over for dinner. Actually, why don’t you join us?
M: Are you sure?
W: Of course. So, instead of ordering pizzas, everybody is supposed to cook a dish for dinner tonight. Do you think you can make something?
M: Absolutely! Don’t forget I used to work in a restaurant kitchen!

M: I hope you like this apartment. The living room is on your right. It’s a large, sunny space.
W: That’s nice! I like to invite friends to my home, so that’s perfect. Is that the dining room across the hall?
M: Yes. You could fit a big table in there. And behind that room is the kitchen. It has everything — a cooker, a fridge, a microwave and even a new dishwasher.
W: I don’t cook much, but my husband does. I’m sure he’ll love those, especially the dishwasher.
M: Great. I think you’ll like the bedrooms. There are two. One is large and has a bathroom in it. It also has new carpet and big windows. The second bedroom is small, though. Perhaps you could use it as an office.
W: Actually, my husband is a musician, so it’ll be his music room. Is there another bathroom?
M: There’s one small bathroom in the hallway — it only has a toilet and a sink. But the one in your bedroom has a big bathtub.
W: Hmm. This apartment is very nice. We’ll take it!

Hey, April’s almost here! Time for Bike Month at Davis High! Skip the bus and ride your bike to school instead! It’s healthier and much more fun when you ride with your schoolmates! Many of our staff members already ride their bikes to work regularly, so you’ll probably see them on the road to school. Mr. Eng in the science department is a frequent bike traveler. He lives ten miles from the school but always makes it here to teach the early math class at 7:30. He also competes in bike races on the weekend. Ms. Krupp’s pink bike is always locked up at the front of the school by the time Principal Dave arrives. During this Bike Month, maybe some of you will be inspired to use your bikes more often. We’ll have competitions with prizes in late April. Who bikes the farthest? Who bikes the most? There will be organized bike parties on Friday evenings, too. We ride together on the city streets. It’s a lot of fun with a pizza dinner waiting at the end. So, everyone, join us for Bike Month right away!

The history of the Louvre Museum, which today contains one of the most important art collections in the world, dates back to the Middle Ages. Built in 1190 as a fortress(堡垒)protect Paris from the Vikings, it was transformed into a palace by Francesco I. Since then, for four centuries, French kings and emperors have expanded it. The glass pyramid of I. M. Pei was added to the courtyard of honor in 1989. All galleries can be reached from here.
The glass pyramid
The projects for the monetization and expansion of the Louvre date back to 1981. They included the construction of a main entrance to the museum. The American architect of Chinese origin-I. M. Pei-was in charge of the project. Pei designed a pyramid that had to become an entrance to the museum. Its glass walls allow visitors to admire the surrounding historic buildings and to light up the entrance hall.
The Louvre collection
The Louvre treasures can date back to the collection of Francesco I (1515-1547), who bought many Italian paintings. During the rule of Louis XIV ( 1643-1715) this amounted to only 200 artworks, but it also increased as a result of donations and purchases. It was opened for the first time to the public in 1793. Since then the Louvre collection has been continuously enriched.
The fallen guide
The main entrance is under the glass pyramid. The artworks are exposed on four floors: the display rooms of the artworks are organized according to the countries they are from. There are eight sections in all. The European painters’ collection is very large, with 40 percent of French works, while the collection of sculptures is less complete.

An 11-year-old girl from Belthangady, India, recently made news headlines for having around 60 dead ants pulled from her eyes. As for how the insects got there, some doctors thought they entered her body through the ears.
Last week, the girl, known only as Ashwini, started complaining of severe pain in her eyes. She told her parents that she felt there was something stuck in her eyes, and when they checked, they did find a small ant in one of her eyes. They didn’t pay much importance to it, as they assumed the insect had gotten there by accident, but it wasn’t long before the girl again started reporting pain in her eyes. They discovered more dead ants, and this time, they took her to hospital.
A local doctor told Ashwini’s parents that the insects must have first entered her body through the ears and then somehow made their way to her eyes. He gave her some eye-drops to help with the irritation(刺激), but the girl still has 5 to 6 ants pulled from her eyes daily. A week ago, the Daily Mail reported that Ashwini’s eyes produced around 60 dead ants in a period of 10 days.
As doctors in Belthangady were left scratching their heads about how the ants reached Ashwini’s eyes or what they could do to stop the unusual phenomenon, she was taken to an eye hospital in Moodabidri, where her family hope to get some answers.
IB Times reports that Ashwini’s parents feared she had been affected by some evil spirit, so they also took her to an astrologer(占星家) who told them that the ants in the eyes were caused by something called Naga Dosha. But who knows?
24. Why did Ashwini recently make news headlines?
A. Because of her love for insects.
B. Because of her extraordinary skills.
C. Because of her strange experience.
D. Because of her abilities to control ants.
25. How did Ashwini’s parents react when finding an ant in her eye?
A. They didn’t take it seriously.
B. They tried their best to comfort her.
C. They sent her to hospital immediately.
D. They didn’t think it was just an accident.
26. The underlined part in paragraph 4 most probably means “ ”.
A. feeling angry about
B. showing disagreement about
C. being optimistic about
D. feeling puzzled about
27. What can be inferred about Ashwini from the text?
A. Her eyes no longer produce dead ants.
B. Eye-drops are of little help to her eyes.
C. The dead ants cause no harm to her eyes.
D. Only the astrologer has found out the truth.
C
I like writing; I like meeting people; I like discovering new things, then telling everyone about them; and I couldn’t keep a secret if you paid me. So I became a journalist.
I wrote for my school magazine, did unpaid work on my local paper, took a master’s degree, got a part-time job, and then became a full-time journalist.
Or at least that is what my resume would say; but the life of a journalist is more exciting than that---even if that excitement can come with a side of pain and frustration.
I have lost count of the numbers of e-mails I have had ignored. I have spent hours at meetings listening as hard as I could for a story---only to go home empty-handed.
Once I ran around knocking on doors in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow to find
a woman who (my editor had told me) “woke at night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the fireman. I wrote the story then I opened the paper to find it at the back, which on name on it, only 100 words long.
Strangely, though, that challenge made me want to keep going. If you do succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great.
I once wrote about an old people’s home where residents, including a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas, and being told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was published, the residents phoned me, overjoyed. The managers had apologized and promised to change their ways.
Journalism can be dangerous and dull, and the pay (at least in the UK) is usually terrible. But it’s also one of the most thrilling, rewarding jobs around. For me, there is no better career than making a difference and telling the world about it.
28. What is the article mainly about?
A. Getting started in a career in journalism
B. The author’s colorful experiences as a journalist.
C. How you can be a good journalist.
D. Why life is easier for male journalist.
29. According to the author, her frustration in her job often comes from_______.
A. unfair treatment
B. fruitless efforts
C. misunderstanding
D. danger and risks
30. What deeply attracts the author as a journalist is that _______.
A. she gets to see her name printed
B. she earns a lot through writing fun stories
C. she can meet different people and hear their stories
D. she can help others and bring about changes in people’s lives
31. From the article we can conclude that the author_______.
A. is not good at keeping secrets.
B. does not mind the challenges in her career.
C. is not appreciated by her editor.
D. is interested in exciting and dangerous work.
D
Most people will recognize Bill Clinton, ex-president of the United States. Bill Clinton is a very popular speech giver and regularly gives talks all over the world, to many different audiences. He is so effective at giving talks because he has a special quality which we call “charisma (魅力)”.
Nowadays, psychologists (心理学家) are becoming very interested in charisma and want to describe its meaning in a better way. People often misunderstand what charisma is and think of it as a kind of fame, but it is not the same as fame. Charisma is a kind of magic and is relatively rare. A well-known American psychologist thinks that charismatic people are basically excellent communicators. However, they have other qualities such as self-confidence, eloquence (口才) and vision.
Charismatic personalities are able to draw people to them, and people feel happy in their company. There is a sense of “togetherness” when a charismatic person is with other people. A good example of this ability, some say, is the famous American, Oprah Winfrey. She is a highly-successful businesswoman and is probably best known as the presenter of a very popular talk show. Oprah is able to relate to audiences at her shows and they respond well to her. Her charismatic personality has made her one of the richest women in the world. She owns several houses and publishes her own magazines. Presently, she is presenting a new series of the Oprah Winfrey Show. She also runs a book club, which influences the nation’s reading habits and may be one of the reasons why people are reading more these days in the USA.
A woman who had extraordinary charisma was the film star, Marilyn Monroe. A beautiful woman and a talented (有天赋的) actress, she was always the centre of attention wherever she went.
Unlike fame, charisma doesn’t disappear over time. Even now, more than fifty years after her death, when young people see Monroe in her films, her charisma seems as fresh and powerful as ever.
32. Bill Clinton is good at giving talks because _____.
A. he has a quality called charisma B. he was once president of the USA
C. he has many fans that support him D. he is well-known all over the world
33. According to the text, charismatic people _____.
A. are all effective speech makers B. are all confident and successful
C. can easily attract and interest people D. often try to create a calm atmosphere
34. What do we know about Oprah Winfrey?
A. She is most famous as a magazine publisher.
B. She often gives talks to American young people.
C. She has a happy relationship with her audiences.
D. She writes books to influence Americans’ reading habits.
35. The author mentions the popularity of Marilyn Monroe to show that _____.
A. fame is as important as charisma
B. famous people always have charisma
C. charisma doesn’t become weaker over time
D. Monroe is an extraordinarily talented actress

Choosing the right college for you is not so easy. You should have a general idea of what you want and don’t want. The idea can guide you to find what fits your needs best. 36
Think about what major you want to study in college. If you know that,just look at colleges that have your major. 37 So think carefully about your major and interests before choosing one.
Where the college is located matters. Anyone who tells you the location isn’t important is lying. 38 If you look forward to working in the publishing industry, New York may be your best bet. If your parents want you to stay close to home, please don’t consider anywhere that requires a plane ticket to get to.
Think about how much you can afford. Are your parents paying for your education? If so, how much are they willing to spend? Do you have to contribute anything? Financial aid and scholarship exist,but don’t count on anything. 39 These are all things to consider before you fall in love with a college.
Make sure you’re going to spend time with the right people.The cool thing about college is that each different one attracts different kinds of people. For the first thing in your life,you get to choose where you get to spend your time and who you get to spend it with. 40 Make sure that the people you’re with for four years are your kind of people.
A.College is about learning what you love.
B.You’d better choose a major that is popular.
C.Go to the college with some people you like.
D.Are you willing to go into major debt over a school?

W: Hi, Professor Smith.
M: Hi, Justine. How are you?
W: I’m OK, but I’m doing badly in your class. I am wondering how to do better.
M: I think coming prepared to class may do something to improve your grades. (12)
W: How can I prepare for class?
M: Have you checked out my web page? All of my lecture notes are on my web page. (10) You can download the notes and read them ahead of time.
W: Really? Wow, that would be very helpful.
M: Another good idea is to read each chapter in the book before class. (11)
W: I usually don’t read the chapter ahead of time. I thought hearing the lecture first was better than reading first.
M: Reading first is actually better. (12) You should also write down ideas or notes while you’re reading. That way, you can come to class with some questions.

W: My friend Jack is moving next week. But his new apartment is very small, so he is giving me his sofa. (14)
M: It’s good that your place is large enough to fit the sofa. Where will you put it?
W: I have space in the living room. My current sofa is a little old and dirty, so I’m just going to throw it away.
M: Yeah, my sofa gets dirty easily as well. Hey, I know Jack from work. (15) Where is he moving?
W: He is actually just moving across the street. Even though he won’t have much space, he will have a great view.
M: And you get a new sofa!
W: Yup! It will be nice to get rid of my old one.
M: Maybe Jack needs to get rid of some other furniture when he moves. (16)
W: I guess you can find out next week.
