ASelfies (自拍) have become an increasingly common way to capture memorable moments. When it comes to taking selfies , knowing the following tips can directly affect the quality of your final product.The use of light is vital to improving image quality. Lights can help avoid shadows and create soft features on your face, so turn your face toward the main light source. If you want to be creative, play with light angles by turning your body, but make sure the photo is properly exposed and your face is lit from the front or the side. Besides, avoid taking selfies against the main light source or with overhead lighting. In addition, natural light possesses a warmth that makes you look like you're glowing.（发光）When taking selfies, angles also matter a lot. Hold the camera away from your face, and try to take photos both horizontally（水平地） and vertically(垂直地). If not, your face might look bigger than usual. Ideally, the universal selfie angle is 45 degrees above your head. But you should study your face at different angles because finding your best angle requires you having seen all of them.One problem with selfies is that most have distractingbackgrounds. You can always do more to show others your best side. Try to simplify the background by taking selfies outdoors or in spacious areas. Document yourself engaging in interesting activities---hiking with family members, visiting landmarks, or working out with friends. At least, you can make the photo appealing by getting rid of your outstretched arm or a background that's too busy.You can also download some photo apps that allow you to adjust the lighting and contrast. Some apps offer useful filters, which can change your skin tone and remove pimples (粉刺) on your face.1．To get an image of high quality, you need to _______.A. be under the light sourceB. be against the main lightC. face the main light sourceD. have the photo fully exposed2．How can you find the angle that suits you most?A. Study your face at different angles.B. Hold the camera far enough from you.C. Keep the camera lower than your face.D. Place the camera 45 degrees above your head.3．Which of the following should be avoided when takingselfies?A. The use of natural light.B. A landmark as a background.C. Changes of the skin tone.D. A busy background.BThe pounding（重击声） was driving Edward crazy. A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereo（立体声音响）loud enough for the whole building to hear.On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairs and politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building. The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he had taken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. The next day all was quiet, and Edward continued to be pleased with himself.The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching band was playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again.Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did with rude neighbors－—grin and bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else are you going to do?In Los Angeles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years.The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment, she could always move. When you’re in prison, you don’t have that option.4．The man living below where Edward lived was .A．a deaf man B．the owner of the houseC．a tenant D．an old neighbor 5．What did Edward always do with rude neighbors? A．Grinning and bearing it. B．Persuading them to stop repeatedly.C．Shouting them to dead. D．Moving away from the rude neighbors.6．The woman killed her neighbor because . A．he ignored her advice repeatedly B．she could not stand his playing the music too loudC．she could not put up with him any longer D．he played the drums too often7．The author writes the last paragraph to prove that .A．being in prison means the loss of freedom B．grinning and bearing it is the best policy C．Edward should follow the example of the woman D．the woman was right to kill her neighborCEven the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person．Feeling down? Consider these things toremember when you’re having a bad day．No one promised life would be perfect．If you look for perfection，you’ll never be content．Don’t condition your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself．It is good to be ambitious，but you’ll never be perfect．If you expect otherwise，your life will be filled with disappointments．Success doesn’t happen overnight．Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit．Don’t kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly．It isn’t easy to be patient，but anything worth doing requires time．If you get frustrated，remind yourself why your goal is important．There is a lesson in every struggle．And once the storm is over，you won’t remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive．But one thing is certain．When you come out of the storm，you won’t be the same person who walked in．That’s what this storm’s all about．Don’t complain about how terrible your life is．If you search for the lesson in your present struggle，you’ll be able to make positive changes that would prevent similar situations in the future．Without hard times，you wouldn’t appreciate the goodones．Strength does not come from winning．Your struggles develop your strengths．When you go through hardships and decide not to give in，that is strength．It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail，but how else would you improve yourself? If you look at failure as a part of your evolutionary process，you’ll stay positive and pursue your goals for as long as it takes．8．Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A．Every person has to go through hard times.B．We can learn a lot from our struggles.C．We should accept the fact that life is not perfect. D．Things to remember when you are having a bad day. 9．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Success will come quickly. B．Hard work leads to success.C．Success calls for patience.

B．Perseverance in time of hardships develops our strengths．C．Smiles when you fail will not help to improve yourself．D．We should try to avoid failures in the evolutionary process.DThe writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meterstall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as “Would you really marry a woman who works?” And today it’d be “Would you marry one who doesn’t?”The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.12. The book Gone with the Wind was _________.A. first published on a newspaperB.awarded ten Academy AwardsC. written in “The Dump”D.adapted from a movie13.

Which is the best title for the passage?A. Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.B. Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.C. An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House.D.

AWe all have our favorite teachers — those who seem truly interested and treat us kindly.But what about teachers we don't know or even don't like much?You can do lots of things to get a good connection with your teachers. First, do the right things: show up for class on time, with all assignments completed. Be active, be respectful, and ask questions you can’t solve by yourself.Show an interest in the subjects. Obviously, your teachers are really interested in their subjects or they wouldn’t have decided to teach them! Showing the teachers that you care —even if you’re not a math whiz(奇才) or fluent in French—sends the message that you are a good student.You can also plan a private conference during a teacher’s free period. Use this time to get extra help, ask questions, or talk about your progress in class. You may be surprised to leant that your teacher is a bit more relaxed one-on-one than when talking in front of the whole class.Here are some things to avoid when you are try to build a good relationship with your teachers:Not being sincere. Teachers sense it when your only goal is to get special treatment, a college reference, or a job chance.Trying to be teacher s’ pet. Your behaviour will come off as phony(虚假的) and your classmates may start to resent you.Giving expensive gifts. It’s OK to offer some kind of gift to show your appreciation to teachers if they’ve been helpful to you. But giving expensive things could send the wrong message, and a teacher is usually not allowed to accept anything expensive.1. The passage mainly gives advice on ______.A. how to get good points in exams at schoolB. how to develop interest in a boring subjectC. how to choose proper gifts for your teachersD. how to build good teacher-student relations2. What does the underlined word “resent” probably mean？A. hateB. admireC. ignoreD. follow3. What’s the advantage of having a private talk with your teachers?A. You can ask questions about personal life.B. Your teacher will feel relaxed to talk to you.C. You can make more progress than others in class.D.Your teacher will try hard to answer your questions.BGovernors Island in Brief:Located in the New York Harbour, Governors Island is a former military base that has been opened to the public and offers car-free biking, art exhibits, performances, picnicking, tours and more.

It was an idea for saving money for the company by increasing prices. At the same time, he suggested that the company sell goods of less value.If his employer liked the idea, he might be given more pay. Perhaps he might even get a better job with the company.Business had been very slow. So Mr. Smith's employer thought a few minutes about the idea. But then she shook her head. "I am sorry, Smith," his employer said. "It just will not wash."Now, the meaning of these English words should be, "It will not get clean." Yet Smith's idea did not have anything to do with making something clean. So why did his employer say, "It will not wash?"Most word experts agree that "it will not wash" means it will not work. In 19th century of England, th e expression meant an undependable statement. It was used mainly to describe an idea. But sometimes it was used about a person.Happily for the young employee, his employer wanted him to do well in the company. So the employer "talked turkey" to him. She said, "Your idea would be unfair to our buyers. Think of another way to save money."A century ago, to talk turkey meant to talk pleasantly. Turkeys in the barnyard(谷仓院场) were thought to be speaking pleasantly to one another. In recent years, the saying has come to mean an attempt to teach something important.Mr. Smith thought of a better idea after his employer talked turkey to him. He was given an increase in pay. So if your idea "will not wash," try "talking turkey" to yourself and come up with a better idea.8. What’s the main purpose of the passage?A. To give some advice on office work.B. To explore the meaning of two expressions.C. To share Mr. Smith’s personal experience.D. To tell about the development of the English language.9. The employer in the passage can be best described as ______.A. hard-workingB. unluckyC. honestD. cold-blooded10. Why did the employer refuse Mr. Smith’s idea?A. Because the idea would cost her much money.B. Because she knew Smith was trying to cheat her.C. Because she herself wanted to get a be tter job.D. Because the idea would do harm to the customers.11. You will most probably use the expression “talk turkey” when ____.A. you are at your friend’s birthday partyB. your friend has broken his promise to you.C. you are offered a better job by your bossD. you are hungry and want to get something to eatDBritish scientists, exploring a beach on the country's east coast, discovered what they believed were the oldest human footprints outside of Africa. They are estimated to be close to one million years and are believed to be the oldest evidence of humans in northern Europe.Footprints of what appears to be a group of ancient humans were discovered on a beach in Norfolk, in eastern Britain. They may be about 500,000 years older than the earliest footprints previously found in the country. The 3D images and a model of one of the imprints(印迹) were unveiled on Friday at a news conference at the British Museum, in London.The museum’s archeologist Nick Ashton described the moment last May when he realized the footprints were left by a prehistoric man. “It was only when the overhead views were emailed through to me back in my office that I suddenly looked at it and opened up the file and I thought, “This is absolutely amazing. You know, there is no doubt that they really are human footprints,” he said.Nick said the new discovery will alter the understanding of early human history in Europe. Liverpool John Moores University researcher Isabelle de Groote analysed the prints. “The spread of the footprint size gives us an indication that we have children, a number of children and then probably some adults there with at least one, probably one male,” she said.It is not known how the early humans survived in the cold environment of ancient northern Europe. Scientists say a million years ago, Britain was joined to continental Europe and they believe that the individuals who left the footprints were related to Homo sapiens’ancestors called the Pioneer Man, known to have inhabited in a warmer climate.12. What information can we get from the first paragraph?A. The earliest humans moved from Europe to Africa.B. The oldest human footprints were once found in Africa.C. No humans lived in Britain about one million years ago.D. The earliest humans came to Northern Europe from Africa.13. The underlined word “alter” in Para.4 probably means “_________”A. proveB. explainC. changeD. develop14. Who left the footprints on the beach according to researcher Isabelle?A. A group of childrenB. Some adult womenC. A group of adult men.D. Children and adults15. We can read the passage above most probably in a _____.A. science magazineB. student bookC. holiday brochureD. geography book第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）七选五，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。

2015-2016学年度上学期考试第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AWho’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people—society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿), their passions a quotation.”So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (一剂毒品). We worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions allthe time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values---not values imposed（强加）from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.21．What Oscar Wilde says implies that _____________.A. most people’s thoughts are controlled by othersB. most people have a variety of thoughtsC. we have thoughts similar to those of othersD. other people’s thoughts are more important22．What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph ?A. We need to pay for what we want to get.B. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.C. We may lose ourselves to please others.D. The price of taking drugs is freedom.23． In order to live a happy, effective and purposeful life, we should _________.A. care about others’ opinions and change opinions all the timeB. guide ourselves by means of values from the outsideC. stick to our own valuesD. persuade others to accept our opinions24．It can be concluded from the passage that __________.A. it’s important to accept others’ opinionsB. it’s better to do what we likeC. we shouldn't change our own opinionsD. we shouldn’t care what others think too muchBA Hong Kong Disneyland park admission ticket is your passport to a full day of magical adventures.

HK $ 135327．To buy tickets at Hong Kong Disneyland Ticket Express on Sundays, you have to get there beforeA. 10:30 pmB. 6:00 pmC.8:00 pmD. 5:00 pmCThousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning province, reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps (打车软件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors.Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of theInternet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps.Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.28．Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?A.

But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.There’s no more room to bury the dead, they can’t be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”, he claims.A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazil’s National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stoppedbecause 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I haven’t got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can’t die. That’s ridiculous,” Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved,” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. “But can you think of a better r esolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?” The bill states that “offenders will be held responsible for their acts.” However, it does not say what the punishment will be.32．What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?A. Ban on building a new cemetery.B. Ban on parking in certain zones.C. Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.D. Prohibiting residents from dying early.33．What can we infer from t he phrase “have gone far beyond that” in the first paragraph?A. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.B. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.C. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town. 34．What’s the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?A. He remains silent about them.B. He gives strong backing to them.C. He objects to them.D. He asks the residents for advice on them.35．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. The mayor of the town wants to build a new cemetery against federal regulation.B. The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.C. No better resolution of the problems has been thought out.D. The government is going to change the environmental decree.第二节七选五 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0分)A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.

句意：在萨姆警探的帮助下，贾斯汀被找到了，所以贾斯汀的母亲坚持要给他一笔钱作为奖励。

insist on sb’s doing sth.意为“坚持某人做某事“，所以A和B 是错误的。

Insist也可跟宾语从句，此时的宾语从句是用虚拟语气，should+动词原形，should也可省略。
