AJumanji (勇敢者的游戏) is a story for children about a very strange game—a game that becomes far too real and frightening for the players. It was a story by Chris Van Allsburg, which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams.The story begins in 1869 in New Hampshire, America. Two young brothers bury a box under some trees. A hundred years later, in 1969, a boy, Alan Panish, finds the box and takes it home. He is unhappy that his father may want to send him to a boa rding school. Alan’s friend, Sarah, arrives, and they open the box. Inside is a board game. At the start of the game, some words appear: “Do you want to leave the world behind and go back to the past? Then this is the game for you.’’ Suddenly Alan finds th at he is disappearing into the game.The story has a deep meaning. Through his adventures Alan learns something important—if you face your fears, your problems will go away. Alan turns to face Van Pelt, the hunter who is trying to kill him. In doing so, he completes the game and returns to reality. Then he finds that his father is not going to send him to a boarding school after all.In Jumanji, time is flexible. The film director Stephen Spielberg’s “Back to the Future” films play with time in the same way. Top scientists even tell us now that time travel is theoretically possible!21. From the story we learn that Alan is a boy who .A. dislikes his study at schoolB. is afraid of his serious fatherC. was born a hundred years agoD. goes back to the past in the game22. Through the game Alan has realized that whenever he has difficulties he should .A. escape into the pastB. face them bravelyC. ask for his father’s adviceD. read the words on the box23. What does the author mean when he says time is flexible?A. One can travel in time.B. Science can change the limit of time.C. Time travel is impossible in space.D. Time is a common topic in film-making.BIt’s that time of year when people need to lock their cars. It’s not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars. Rather, it’s because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year’s large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to fill it with zucchini (西葫芦).My sister, Sharon, recently had a good year for tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they had begun to feel their skin turn slightly red. That’s when she decided it was time to share her blessings. She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began asking everyone in the neighborhood, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “Feel free to take whatever you want,” Sharon told her. Later that day, Sharon found that her garden had indeed been harvested. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn’t go to waste.A few days later, Sharon answered the door. There was the neighbor, holding a hot loaf of bread. The neighbor smiled pl easantly, “I wanted to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have to admit that I took a few other things and hoped you wouldn’t mind.”Sharon couldn’t think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so. “Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said. “You had some of the prettiest zucchini I’ve ever seen.”Sharon was confused. They hadn’t even planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in her garden. Sharon felt curious and decided to go to seewhere the zucchini had grown. The two of them walked together into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables, Sharon smiled. w Well, actually, those are cucumbers (黄瓜) that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating.”The neighbor looked at Sharon, shock written all over her face. She gulped (哽住) a few times, and then, smiling, held out the bread, part of a batch she had shared all over the neighborhood. “I brought you a nice loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you like it.’’24. Why does the author warn people in the neighborhood to lock their cars?A. They might be stolen by thieves at night.B. They might be moved away by the police.C. Their neighbors might fill them with their harvest.D. Their neighbors might throw cucumbers into them.25. How did Sharon’s friends react to the invitation to take her tomatoes?A. They did not accept her kind offer.B. They were all delighted to have the tomatoes.C. They said they would go when they were free.D. They began to tell everyone they knew about it.26. What did the neighbor do in Sharon’s garden?A. She only harvested some tomatoes.B. She took some cucumbers mistakenly.C. She took something with Sharon’s help.D. She harvested a few zucchini by accident.27. We can infer that the neighbor’s bread would taste .A. soft and sweetB. hard and sourC. funny and bitterD. fragrant and deliciousCLand Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks, is a form of art which involvesusing physical landscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world. Modem Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s, when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modem Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.Land Art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For example, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋状防波堤), made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake. The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art, which can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable.Land Art is designed to gradually form, change, and eventually decay (衰落). That’s one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.28. What can be learned from the first paragraph?A. Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s.B. Land Art aims to get people interested in nature.C. American artists were the first to create Land Art.D. People have been creating Land Art for thousands of years.29. What do we know about Robert Smithson?A. He is a great creative artist.B. He lives near the Great Salt Lake.C. He made the most famous Land Art.D. He was a pioneer in creating Land Art.30. One of the unique characteristics of Land Art lies in .A. it shows the extreme beauty of natureB. it develops and decays gradually over timeC. it combines the landscapes around completelyD. it offers the artists a chance to get close to nature31. What is the passage mainly about?A. Works of Land Art.B. History of Land Art.C. Changes of Land Art.D. Introduction of Land Art.DPeople have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans (寿命) that are similar to humans, jiving for around 50 to 70 years.Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors (肿瘤) developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” t he study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous (癌变的), large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox (悖论)”. Biologists believe it results from larger animals usi ng protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive.The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers spreading or even developing in the first place.“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist at the S chool of Medicine, University of Utah, US. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”32. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?A. They have a rather large body size.B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.D. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing.33. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?A. Deadly tumors.B. The huge body mass.C. Cells killing themselves.D. Sensitivity to DNA damage.34. What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A. Larger animals have protection from TP53.B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size.C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones.D. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have.35. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer.B. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people.C. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53.D. The extra copies of elephants, genes are used to cure cancer patients.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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

"The response speed after watching 3D was almost three times as quick as that gained from watching 2D; in other words,3D helps children process aspects of their environment more quickly.This is likely because 3D is a mentally exciting experience which 'gets the brain's juices flowing'."(1)How do we know the benefits of watching a 3D film?A.Through introduction.B.By taking an exam.C.Through research.D.By watching TV shows.(2)What's the meaning of the underlined word "stimulation" ?A.Excitement.B.Contents.C.Cost.D.Time.(3)Why does 3D have an advantage over 2D?A.The time of watching 3D is short.B.3D can increase the reaction speed.C.3D can make children adapt the surroundings more quickly.D.3D can make more brain's power(4)What may be the best title for the text?A.How 3D formsB.What are 3D filmsC.A study on 3D filmsD.3D films benefit children3.阅读理解"How to Let Co of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can't Change" is the latest movie fromfilm-maker and climate activist Josh Fox.The movie is the third film in a three-part series about climate change.In 2010,Fox's documentary "Gasland" was appointed for the highest award-an Oscar. "Gasland" explored the hotly debated process of removing natural gas from the ground.He examined the subject again in "Gasland Ⅱ".Fox was in Washington,D.C.recently to present his third film.He was arrested during a protest against a new fuel pipeline.In the film,Fox says pollution from fossil fuels must be reduced.Without limits,there will be more extreme weather,like severe storms and dry weather,rising sea levels,causing shortages of food and water, "When you really encounter that head on,it causes an in-credible crisis."In the new film,Fox travels through a sunless forest in the Amazon with local activists to measure oil spills.He goes to a village in Ecuador to learn how people there stopped a pipeline from being built.He joins young people in Australia to stop boats from entering the port of Newcastle."You should probably know the downside of what we're about to do.This is the short list: drowning,being arrested: being run over by boats,drifting away in currents out into the Pacific Ocean,cultural disrespect,big waves."Also in the film,Fox talks to Ella Zhou,an energy expert.She explained the importance of what she calls "moral imagination"."I think that it forces us to get out of our box of thinking about,for instance,what is being successful.It allows us to have a moral value about what you want as a person.What do you want to do for the world and for yourself?"(1)Why was Fox's "Gasland" appointed for an Oscar?A.Because Fox is the most famous film-maker in America.B.Because Fox had experienced incredible crisis in the globe.C.Because the movie is mainly about global climate change.D.Because Fox was arrested for opposing a new fuel pipeline.(2)What does the underlined word "that" refer to?A.The pollution from fossil fuels.B.The economic crisis.C.The increasing population.D.The extreme weather.(3)What's the purpose of "moral imagination" mentioned in the last paragraph?A.To warn people of the importance of creating new fuels.B.To make people learn to be creative in thinking things.C.To motivate people to achieve their dreams in their life.D.To stimulate people to find the values of individuals.4.阅读理解In the traffic lights,red means "stop",green means "go",and yellow means "hurry": Why those colors, though? Why not blue,purple,and brown?The following are transponded from others WeChat.●Red is an inherited symbol from railroadsRed symbolizes danger in many cultures,which makes sense,considering it has the longest wavelength of any color,meaning you can see it from a greater distance than other colors.Red has meant "stop" since long before cars existed,with railway signals use of red dating bake to the days when mechanical arms lifted and lowered to indicate whether the rail ahead was clear.So that one's simple.●Green meant "caution" at firstGreen's role in lights has actually changed dramatically over time.Its wavelength is next to (and shorter than) yellow's,meaning it's still easier to see than any color other than red and yellow.Back in the early days of railway lights,green originally meant "caution",while the "all-clear" light was,well,clear or white.Trains,of,course,take an unlimitedly long time to stop,and legend has it that several disastrous collisions happened after an engineer mistook stars in the night horizon for an all-clear.Thus,green became "go",and for a long time,railways used only green and red to signal trains.●Yellow means "caution" because it's almost as easy to see as redFrom the earliest days of motoring up until the mid-1900s,not all stop signs were red-many were yellow, because at night it was all but impossible to see a red stop sign in a poorly lit area.The yellow stop-sign craze began in Detroit in 1915,a city that five years later installed its first electric traffic signal,which happened to include the very first amber traffic light,at the corner of Michigan and Woodward Aves.(1)What are the earliest traffic signals designed for from the passage?A.Cars.B.Trains.C.Motorcars.D.Not mentioned.(2)Which statement is true according to the passage?A.Green means "go" all the time.B.Red is the easiest color to be noticed.C.All yellow things need dealing with carefully.D.All the three colors were once used as "caution".(3)What's the main idea of the passage?A.What is your favorite color?B.Why are "Red,Yellow,Green" used as traffic signals?C.How can we figure out the wavelength of colors?D.What color can green,yellow and red make?(4)Where is the passage from?A.A diary.B.A scientific magazine.C.A newspaper.D.The Internet.二.完形填空5.完形填空"There once was a beggar who loved to hear himself sing.He lived 1 a dustbin next to a supermarket.He had the most amazing voice.No one would listen to him, 2 .Cats and dogs would come to sing along.All animals would come to hear this sound.No 3 though.His4 audience were the animals.Even without people to sing to.the man was filled with 5for he loved his voice.Then one day,a little girl was on her way to the supermarket.The man was singing one of his favorite songs.The little girl 6 him and wondered what that noise was.She began 7around every corner until she found him.

However, there was one temple that left a great impression in my heart.It is called the Temple of the Golden Buddha. After walking around it and taking some photos, I walked over to a glass case, next to which was a typewritten page describing the history of this magnificent piece of art.Back in 1957 a group of monks from a monastery（修道院）had to relocate a clay Buddha from their temple to a new location. The monastery was to be relocated to make room for the development of a highway. When the crane（吊车）began to lift it, the weight of it was so large that it began to crack. What's more, rain began to fall, The head monk decided to lower the statue back to the ground and cover it with a large oilcloth to protect it from the rain. Later that evening the head monk went to check on the Buddha. He shined his flashlight under the oilcloth to see if the Buddha was staying dry. As the light reached the crack, he noticed a little beam shining back and thought it strange. As he took a closer look at this beam of light, he wondered if there might be something underneath the clay. He went to fetch a chisel and hammer from the monastery and began to chip away at the clay. As he knocked off pieces of clay, the little beam grew brighter and bigger. Many hours of labor went by before the monk stood face to face with the extraordinary solid-gold Buddha. Historians believe that several hundred years before the head monk's discovery, the army was about to invade the country. The monks, realizing that their country would soon be attacked, covered their precious golden Buddha with an outer covering of clay in order to keep their treasure from being robbed by the enemy.Unfortunately, it appears that the enemy killed all the monks, and the well-kept secret of the golden Buddha remained uncovered until the day in 1957.As I flew home I began to think to myself, "We are all like the clay Buddha covered with a shell of hardness created out of fear, and yet underneath each of us is a 'golden Buddha', a'golden Christ', or a 'golden spirit', which is our real self. Somewhere along the way, between the ages of two and nine, we begin to cover up our 'golden spirit', our natural self. Much like the monk with the hammer and the chisel, our task now is to discover our true spirit once again."（1）What made the monks cover the Buddha with a large oilcloth? ________A Hiding it from being stolen.B Protecting it from the rain.C Protecting it from being damaged.D Avoiding being seen.（2）Why was the author greatly impressed by the golden Buddha? ________A Because he likes it very much.B Because it differs from others.C Because of its history.D Because of the protection of the monk.（3）What might be the best title of the passage? ________A Visiting Buddhist TemplesB The Golden BuddhaC Protecting TheirCountry D Relocating the Buddha（4）What advice is given to us according to the passage? ________A Covering up ourselves.B Finding the truth.C Discovering our truespirit. D Building up our belief.3.To make room for agriculture, trees and other plants are often cleared away so that farmers have space to grow crops. The clearing of forests forces many animals from their homes. They often flee the area in search of a new place to live. There is a big downside to that. Some of those animals are natural predators. They control pest populations. They can help to clear the fields of rats, mice, and other rodents that eat and damage crops.This happened at one small farming village in Indonesia. After land was cleared for farming, rats and mice began appearing in large numbers. Villagers tried to target the animals by smoking them out and hunting them. But the villagers were unsuccessful.So, one farmer decided to try another method—a natural one.Pujo Arto brought owls to his farm. Owls, after all, are experts at hunting rodents. It is what they do. And it worked! However, Pujo Arto didn't stop with his own field. He set up a Natural Predator Program. Now, owls are busy catching rats and mice in the fields around the village of Tlogoweru. There is a huge upside: no need for chemical pesticides which can harm not only rodents, but other creatures.In 2011, the Indonesian man began setting up boxes where the owls live. He is also raising owlets in the village. After about four months, the young birds are released. These facilities have raised more than owls. They have also raised awareness in the community about the importance of owls. They raised awareness within their community by building homes for those owls. At the same time, government officials helped to create laws to protect those owls.In addition to controlling pests naturally, there is another upside to the program. His village is now a popular stop for eco-tourists. People interested in learning more about owls, wildlife protection and natural pest control come to his village to learn more.（1）Why did the owls get away from the land around the village?A There was no food to eat.B There were too many rats and mice.C They were smoked away.D They had no place to live.（2）Natural Predator Program is ______.A to use owls to catch the crop-damaging rodentsB to attract eco-tourists to the villageC to raise awareness of protecting forestsD to control pests by using chemical pesticides（3）Which of the following is the right order according to the passage?a. introducing owlsb. pets being controlled naturallyc. rodents appearing in large numbersd. clearing forestsA abcdB bcdaC dcabD dabc（4）What is the main idea of the passage?A The importance of protecting owls.B Indonesian village uses owls to protect crops.C The advantages of using natural predators in agriculture.D The government's role in using owls to control pests.4.Preparing for the Next Pandemic（大流行病）Influenza pandemics have historically taken the world by surprise, giving health services little time to prepare for the abrupt increases in cases and deaths that characterize these events and make them so disruptive. Since late 2003, the world has moved closer to a pandemic than at any time since 1968, when the last of the previous century's three pandemics occurred.While neither the timing nor the severity of the next pandemic can be predicted, evidence that the virus is now endemic in bird populations means that the present level of risk will not be easily diminished.The advance warning has brought an unheard-of opportunity to prepare for a pandemic and develop ways to mitigate its effects.More countries now have pandemic preparedness plans: around one fifth of the world's countries have some form of a response plan, but these vary greatly in comprehensiveness and stage of completion.Access to antiviral drugs and, more importantly, to vaccines（疫苗）remains a challenging problem because of limited manufacturing capacity as well as costs.The risk that a pandemic virus will emerge depends on opportunities for human exposure and infections. These opportunities will persist as long as the H5NI virus continues to circulate in animals. Control of the disease in animals is the main way to reduce opportunities for human infection and thus reduce opportunities for a pandemic virus to emerge.While neither the timing nor the severity of the next pandemic can be predicted, history shows that these events consistently bring an explosive increase in the number of illnesses and deaths sufficient to temporarily paralyse public services and economic productivity.（1）From the first paragraph we know ______.A there were three pandemics in the world last centuryB at least three pandemics occurred to the world last centuryC we are not sure how many pandemics there were in the world last centuryD we are sure there were four pandemics in the world last century（2）What does the underlined word "mitigate" in the third paragraph probably mean?A Increase.B Reduce.C Evaluate.D Predict.（3）According to the author, how do we prevent the next pandemic?A To produce antiviral drugs.B To produce vaccines.C To control thedisease. D To get rid of the H5N1 virus.（4）What's the author's attitude to the next pandemic?A Negative.B Indifferent.C Considerate.D Objective.第二节（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．选项中有两项为多余选项．5.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。

D Animal lovers.（3）Where does this text probably come from?A A science textbook.B A news report.C A travel guidebook.D A geography magazine.Many of us have reached in our pockets, feeling a vibration（振动）, wrongly believing our mobile phones have just rung. The phenomenon even has a name: "phantom vibration syndrome" and found it is surprisingly common.Now scientists believe that we are so alert（警觉）for phone calls and messages we are misinterpreting slight muscle spasms（痉挛）as proof of a call. Robert Rosenberger, an assistant professor at the Georgia Tech Institute of Technology has studied the delusional calls. He said sufferers describe a vague tingling feeling which they think is their mobile phone indicating it has received a text message or call while on 'silent'. But when the device is retrieved, there was no one on the other end.Dr. Rosenberger said, "I find so many people say, 'This happens to me, but I thought I was the only one, I thought I was odd.'" It seems that the syndrome particularly affects people at the beck and call of mobile phones or pagers. A 2010 study by Michael Rothberg and colleagues found that nearly 70 percent of doctors at a hospital in Massachusetts suffered phantom vibrations. A more recent study of US college students found the figure was as high as 90 percent.While the odd feeling is widespread, it does not seem to be considered a grave problem. Dr. Rosenberger said: "It's not actually a syndrome in a technical sense. That's just the name that's got stuck to it." He added: "Only 2 percent of people consider it a problem."While widespread, the scientific community has not yet invested much effort in getting to the bottom of why we suffer phantom calls.Dr Rosenberger said: "People are guessing it has something to do with nervous energy. The cognitive（认知的）scientists are talking about brain chemistry, cognitive pathways changing. But it's not like they have brain scans to go on." He said: "We have a phone call in our pocket all the time and it becomes sort of an extension of ourselves. We have this sort of readiness to experience a call. We feel something and we think, OK, that could be a call."（1）Why do some people mistake slight muscle spasms for a call?A They all have a vivid imagination.B They are sensitive to calls andmessages. C There are few calls and messages in their life. D Slight muscle spasms affect them more than other people.（2）Which of the following are more likely to have phantom vibration syndrome than others?A Doctors.B University professors.C College students.D The cognitive scientists.（3）In Dr Rosenberger's opinion, phantom vibration syndrome ______.A isn't a kind of disease actuallyB is considered a problem by most peopleC is a serious problem ignored by peopleD has something to do with brain chemistry（4）What does the text mainly talk about?A Most people have phantom vibration syndrome.B How to keep away from phantom vibration syndrome.C How to reduce phantom phone vibrations.D People care too much about phantom phone vibrations.Sometimes, you just can't help it. Maybe you're watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks.According to Ad Vingerhoets, a professor of psychology at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands, who is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying, there are three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest of the world. Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears. "These are released in response to emotional states," explains Vingerhoets.Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. "Humans are very complex social creatures," says Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania. "It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others," She says.Vingerhoets agrees. "I think that the reason why humans shed tears（流眼泪）has something to do with our childhood," he says. "That's the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care. The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person." Vingerhoets says this ability could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Tears were a safer way to get attention. "In this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help," he says.Vingerhoets and Bylsma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry. According to Byhma, there is still much more to discover. "It's surprising," she says, "how much we still don't know."（1）In the scientists' opinion, crying is ______.A a sign of human evolutionB a result of human kindnessC a cause of personal growthD a means of relying on each other（2）The underlined phrase "this ability" refers to the ability to ______.A seek help wiselyB aim tears at someoneC cry emotionallyD appeal to other people（3）From the text, we learn that Ad Vingerhoets and Lauren Bylsma ______.A hold different opinions about the causes of tearsB think positively of the effects of tearsC are working together to study tearsD have learned enough about tears（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A The types of tearsB The components of tearsC The science of tearsD The opinions about tears4.My dream of working in a flower shop had its roots in my grandmother's garden, always in bloom, where I made bunches with whatever I could get my hands on. However, I wasn't prepared for the people. Their stories impressed me long after I locked up for the night.I always enjoyed reading the messages that went along with each bunch. Most were what you would expect, plenty of "I Love You" and "Get Well Soon." We got "Happy Birthday," "Happy Anniversary" and "Thinking of You" requests that phone messages were written in shorthand: H.B., H.A., T.O.Y.I would laugh at messages that seemed too sugary or boring, and it disheartened me when customers asked what their sympathy card should say. But I also understood that finding the right words can be a monumental task and that sometimes those words just happen to be the same ones everyone else is using.I have sold flowers to single men and women; to color-blind fathers shopping with their precocious daughters; to new parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles; to engaged 20-somethings and couples celebrating 50 years. I've given flowers to homeless men who have in turn given them to pretty girls in summer dresses. People buy flowers when they're in love, in trouble, drunk, devastated, excited and sometimes for no obvious reason.I took photos of card messages and told my favorite shop stories to co-workers, family and friends, but still so much has gotten away. Precious moments made all the more precious by the fact that they have already come and gone. Now I gauge months by what's in season: sunflowers in July, dahlias（大丽花）in August, roses and maple in October, pine in December, hyacinth（风信子）in March.A favorite of mine is tulip magnolia（紫玉兰）, the way the buds（花蕾）break into flowers and the flowers into many colors on lawns, all in a matter of weeks while it's snowing cherry blossoms. How surprisingly beautiful the life of flowers can be!（1）Why did the author like reading the messages going with the bunches?A They conveyed friendship, love and best wishes.B They reminded the author of his past.C They were sugary and the author found them funny.D They helped to attract customers to buy flowers.（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A The messages were boring because of repetitions.B The author likes tulip magnolia because of its growing place.C The author found it depressing to talk about sympathy cards.D The author learned a lot in her grandmother's garden.（3）What does the underlined word "gauge" probably mean in Paragraph 5?A Spend.B Forget.C Arrange.D Measure.（4）What does the author learn from the flower shop?A She understands that everyone has a favorite flower.B She learns that life is more beautiful with flowers.C She realizes that flowers sell well with messagecards. D She finds out that message cards are worth cherishing.第二节（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．选项中有两项为多余选项．5.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。

AWhen I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect play ground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides. but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear"turn around and head back home" ,but I was stubborn and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn't want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night's sleep.I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life all roads,no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on the earth.They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help your fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again21.Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?A. He could watch TV all day.B. He could have fun in nature.C. He had many friends to play with.D. He used to explore the old dirt road.22.What does the underlined word"something" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. Doubt.B. Hope.C. Fear.D. Courage.23. How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?A. He was contradictory in mind.B. He was unconscious of danger ahead.C. He was worried to be trapped in the woods.D. He was afraid of being scolded by his parents.24. What may be the best title for the passage?A. Every Effort Is WorthwhileB. All Roads Lead HomeC. Be Determined in Your LifeD. Be Brave to AdventureBA day in the life of 18-year-old David Lanster is full of typical teenage stuff: school, baseball practice and homework. And then he starts cooking. "Some nights I'm up until 1: 00 a.m. making pies,or even later if we're cooking beef, "said the student at Ransom Everglades High School in Florida,US.For the past year, Lanster and Kelly Moran, his classmate, have been hosting fancy dinner parties at Lanster's parents' home. Their meals have 17 courses and are all made by them.Their guests used to give them gifts to thank them until the pair decided to do something nice for charity(慈善). “We got some really great Miami Heat tickets, a nice watch, and many kitchen gadgets(小器具)," Lanster said.“ But we wanted to make this something positive for people other than us.Lanster and Moran focused on Common Threads, a charity that aims to teach kids in poor communities to cook and make healthy eating choices. The young cooks ask their guests to give however much they want as payment for their meals. It all goes to Common Threads because Lanster's parents cover their food costs. After their last12-person event, Lanster and Moran gave ﹩1,600 to the charity.Now, they're taking their show out of the kitchen and on the road. They have started to organize private dinner parties with a similar model:the host pays for the ingredients,and guests make a donation to a chatity of their choice.Without formal training, Lanster said he had been interested in cooking since he helped his mom in the kitchen when he was young. He learned how to cook by reading cookbooks and watching TV programs. Outside the kitchen, the two are busy preparing there applications. Neither of them is sure what they will do in the future, but they've promised their parents that they will leave professional cooking alone until they finish school.25. How is Lanster's life different from other teenagers' lives?A. He plans to become a professional chef.B. He plays baseball every day after school.C. He goes to a cooking school in his spare time.D.

Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says,"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry".His actions in this scene are very British. If Roberts' character were from British. Then he would probably apologize repeatedly as well- even if the crash were not her fault. But this doesn't happen in the movie, as Roberts is from the US.A report in The Telegraph once said that three quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street一regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, Britons use"sorry" in many situations, For example, if they mishear someone, they say "Sorry?"The person they are talking to will also apologize by replying, "No, I sorry!" This can go on or up to five minutes as they compete over who is the most sorry.Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell,a psychology writer in the UK, thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in British class system. We say sorry because historically the new middle class in Britain had to apologize for not being the working class but also for not really being the upper class." Another theory is that they apologize to avoid conflicts. For example, If they bump into someone, he might get ang ry. To avoid this, they instantly say “Sorry!"True manners are about being considerate, and today's constant use of apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word “sorry" has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing.28Why does the author mention a scene in the movie Notting Hill at the beginning?A.To give an example of British modesty.B.To introduce different ways of saying sorry.C.To show what kind of men are considered gentlemen in the UK.D.To draw our attention to when and how British people say sorry.29.Which of the following statements might Mark Tyrell agree with?A.People should not apologize if they are not responsible.B.Americans care less about manners than British people do.C.That British people apologize so much is linked to the class system.D.British people care too much about which social class they are from.30.What can be inferred from the passage?A.It's unnecessary for British people to be so polite.B.The overuse of apologizing shows Britons are truly sincere.C.People should not stick to the traditional use of the word “sorry".ing "sorry" more doesn't necessarily mean people are more polite.31.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A.To explore the best way of saying sorry.B.To explain why Britons overuse the word " sorry".C.To show how saying sorry has changed over time.D.To suggest many British people lack traditional mannersDImagine you're standing in line to buy as nackata Store.You step up to the counterand the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay, But instead of scanning a QR Code (二维的)with your smart phone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint, or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional password, biometric (生物特征识别的) security, which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasing]y popular.In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smart phones with a fingerprint scaner. Since then, using one's fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since 2016,Samsung has featured eye-caning technology in it stop smart phone while Apple's new iPhone X can even scan a user's face. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as weimagine. “Biometrics is ideally good in practice, not so much," said John Michener, abiometrics expert.When introducing the new iPhone's face ID feature, Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president, said, “The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million." But it's already been done. In a video posted on a community website Reddit, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face. And they aren't even twins."We may expect too much from biometrics," Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS News. "No security systems are perfect."Earlier last year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead person's smart phone for the police, according to a tech website Splinter." It's good to see biometrics being used more," Jain told CBS News," because it adds another factor for security. But using multiple security measures is the best defense.32.Which is the latest identification technology in a smart phone according to the passage?A.Face scanning.B.Eye scanning.C.QR Code scanning.D.Fingerprint scanning.33.What is a major problem of the iPhone X's face ID system?A.It takes too long to unlock the phone.B.It often fails to recognize its owner's face.C.Face data can be used for other purposesD.Different faces can be used to unlock the same phone.34.What is Anil Jain's opinion about biometric security?A.It is as secure as traditional measures.B.
