Yash was honored as a CNN Hero.As Dr.Seuss once said,"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.It's not."Yash is a great example of a young person taking action to not only improve his own life,but those of others.

　　21.What inspired Yash to take action?

　　A.His desire to improve his own life. B.Many years of wearing eyeglasses.

　　C.His failure to learn something at school. D.Millions of children's lack of proper glasses.

　　22.What can we learn from the passage?

　　A.Yash could learn well without wearing his glasses.

　　B.About 80% of information in class may be ignored due to poor eyesight.

　　C.Yash created Sight Learning to help thousands of teenagers.

　　D.Dr.Seuss thought nothing was going to get better without Yash.

　　23.What would be the best title for the text?

　　A.Sight Learning helps young people see better. B.Teenager with a clear vision to help others see.

　　C.A teenager hero devoted to helping others. D.Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. B

　　This brief book is aimed at high school students,but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.Its formal, serious style closely matches its content,a school-masterly book on schooling.

　　The author,W.H.Armstrong,starts with the basics: reading and writing.In his opinion,reading doesn't just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information,digesting it and combining it with oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself.The goal is to bring the information back to life,not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees.Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact,the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text.

　　Only a third of the book remains after that discussion,which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages,math,science and history.He generally handles these topics thoroughly and equally,except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion(激情)regarding history to his students,that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across.To my disappointment,in this part of the book he ignores the arts.As a matter of fact,they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do,though the study differs slightly in kind.Although it's commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired,actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.

　　My other comment is that the text aged.The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s.As a result,the discussion misses the entire computer age.

　　These are small points,though,and don't affect the main discussion.I recommend it to any student and any teacher,including the self-taught student.

　　24.According to Armstrong,the goal of reading is to .

　　A.gain knowledge and expand one's view B.understand the meaning between the lines

　　C.express ideas based on what one has read D.get information and keep it alive in memory

　　25.The author of the passage insists that learning the arts .

　　A.requires great efforts B.demands real passion

　　C.is less difficult than learning maths D.is as natural as learning a language

　　26.This passage is most probably .

　　A.an advertisement B.a book review C.a feature story D.a news reportC

　　Food waste is a growing problem both in America and across the globe.In North America alone about 30-40% of food ends up as rubbish each year.While much ends up as rubbish,over 48 million Americans live in households that do not have enough food!Now,concerned citizens are trying to raise awareness of the issue with some creative ideas.

　　In New York's Westchester County,students at 18 schools join in a program called We Future Cycle.Started by Anna and Ashley in 2014,it teaches kids to recycle,compost(堆肥),and most importantly control food waste in an easy and efficient manner.

　　Lunch areas at those schools are equipped with three clearly marked bins—compost,recycle and share.While the first two are common in schools,the third is rare.This is the bin where kids can put their unwanted drinks,fruits, and even untouched sandwiches.Food there is available for any student that wants them.Whatever remains at the end of the day is given to the local soup kitchen or food bank.Anna says the three bins have helped reduce the number of trash bags produced at the mid-day meal from an average of 22 to just 2!

　　To ensure kids form similar habits at home,the non-profit has created plans to educate families about the importance of sorting waste into the proper streams of recycling,composting,and food to donate.They also urge parents to have open conversations with their kids about food choices.

　　Kids are not the only ones that waste food.Adults are equally bad,if not worse!To fight that,Brooklyn-based Josh founded Salvage Super Club in 2014.The randomly organized dinners promise customers a multi-course meal for merely 50 dollars per person.The delicious food is made from perfectly safe ingredients(成分)that are past their prime and,therefore,headed for the compost or trash bin.

　　27.The underlined word "awareness" in Paragraph 1 probably means ?

　　A.understanding B.hope C.doubt D.value

　　28.What do students at Westchester County do to save food?

　　A.Use dustbins instead of plastic bags for left-over food.

　　B.Put their unwanted food in the bins and learn to share.

　　C.Get the children to educate their parents at home.

　　D.Only get single-course food for 50 dollars when eating out.

　　29.What can we infer from Paragraph 5 ?

　　A.Parents are to blame for the children's bad habits. B.Parents do not encourage children to save food.

　　C.Parents are as wasteful as children about food. D.Parents have set an example for the children.

　　30.Which of the following will the passage be likely to continue with?

　　A.More information about food bank. B.How to improve food production.

　　C.The importance of saving food. D.Other creative ways to save food.第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分)

　　_31_The concept for Disneyland began when Walt Disney was visiting an Amusement Park in Los Angeles with his daughters.While watching them ride the merry-go-round(旋轉(zhuǎn)木馬),he came up with the idea of a place where adults and their children could go and have fun together,but his dream remained inactive for many years.

　　_33_On Sunday,July 17,1955,the first guests arrived.A guess list of 15,000 swelled to almost 30,000.Traffic was delayed on the two-lane Harbor Boulevard.Famous figures that were scheduled to show up every two hours appeared all at once.Rides and attractions broke down under the pressure of too many guests.Some parents threw their children over the crowd's shoulders to get them on to rides._34_

　　After the extremely negative press from the preview(預(yù)演)opening,Walt Disney invited guests back for a private "second day" to experience Disneyland properly.In order to avoid overcrowding,Walt and his staff began to limit daily attendance t0 20,000._35_Since then,Disneyland has a larger cumulative(累積的)attendance than any other theme park in the world.

　　A.The opening day turned out to be a disaster.

　　B.Not many people know the origin of Disneyland Park.

　　C.However,he soon realized that the suggested site was too small.

　　D.It is the only theme park built under the direction of Walt Disney.

　　E.Within seven weeks,the one-millionth guest successfully passed through the gates.

　　F.In addition,Disney rented out many of the shops on Main Street,the U.S.A.to outside companies.

　　G.As a result,most reviewers said the park poorly managed,expecting Disneyland history to end soon.第三部分 語言運(yùn)用(共兩節(jié)，滿分45分)

　　Dear Peter,

　　Recently,the library of our school has set up an English Reading Room.The reading room,where we students can read English magazines,benefits us a lot.It is convenient for us to enrich our lives and broaden our minds.What is more important is that it helps develop our interest in studying English.

　　Despite the good it has done to us,I'd like to make some suggestions.Have you considered opening it all weekdays instead of just on Friday afternoon?Besides,the limited number of books available is better to be enlarged.

　　I hope you will find these suggestions useful and thank you for your time.

　　Beat wishes!

　　Yours,

　　Li Yue
