?、? 閱讀理解。(30分)(A、B兩篇每小題1分，C、D兩篇每小題2分)
(A)
I’m living in a busy city. There are too many people and too many cars. Too many people and too many cars cause too crowded traffics. At the same time, the cars gives out much smog (煙霧), especially (尤其是) at rush hours (高峰期). The smog pollutes (污染) the city terribly. The problem is becoming more and more serious. We should do something to prevent it.
First, I think we should have more police officers at the busy crossings. They can stop the traffic jams (阻塞). Second, we should not make more parking garages (停車位) for cars. When people think that it’s easy to park in cities, more people will drive to work and it will make the traffic more crowded. Third, we should make it more expensive for drivers to drive cars to cities. Then more people will leave their cars for their bikes. Fourth, we should encourage people to take a bus to work. Fifth, we should build special ways for bikes so that more people will go to work by bike instead of by bus or in a car. Finally, we should spend more on the public transportation (公共交通). For example, we can build more underground lines. Of course, we can also do many other things to improve our traffic.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷正(T)誤(F)。
( )36. There are serious pollution problems in the writer’s city.
( )37. We should make fewer parking garages.
( )38. Some people drive to work because they needn’t spend too much cost (費用) on it.
( )39. The traffic systems (交通系統(tǒng)) in the writer’s city are perfect.
( )40. The writer gives five suggestions in order to help solve the traffic problem.
(B)
The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5. 5 meters tall. Its neck alone may be 1. 9 meters long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones in its neck, the same number as in the humans’. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe’s neck is very long, while the bones in a human’s neck are short. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1. 9 meters tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the high leaves on the trees.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。
( )41. In this passage the underlined word giraffe means _______.
A. 鯨魚 B. 長頸鹿 C. 大象 D. 河馬

( )44. When a giraffe is born, it is about _______.

Tigers are strong and dangerous animals. But now they are in danger.
In the past, there were eight kinds of tigers in the world. But during the 20th century, only five were left. The number of Siberian tigers (東北虎) was about 300, but now it is less than 22. They’re in danger of dying out. If the government does nothing, we won’t be able to see them in ten to twenty years.
In order to stop people from hunting and killing wild tigers, and in order to make wild tigers more, the World Wildlife Fund (世界自然基金會) has started a program (項目) recently (最近). China and twelve other countries joined it.
However, it’s not enough. Remember that nature is a food chain (鏈). If we hurt and kill too many wild deer and pigs, wild tigers will die out because of hunger (饑餓). So the most important thing is to save the animals that tigers eat. In order to protect the wild tigers, we need call on (號召) more people to stop eating, hunting and killing wild animals.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。
( )46. During the 20th century, _______ kinds of wild tigers died out.

( )49. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. There are less than 22 wild Siberian tigers now.
B. There are twelve countries in the World Wildlife Fund.
C. Wild tigers mainly feed on pigs and deer.
D. It’s our duty to protect the wild tigers.
( )50. The passage mainly tells us _______.
A. why and how do we protect the wild tigers
B. the government does everything they could to protect the wild tigers
C. the wild tigers will die out in ten to twenty years
D. the most important thing is to save the animals that tigers eat

第二部分 基礎(chǔ)知識應(yīng)用
?、? 1. D 考查冠詞。第一個空格是特指《任長霞》這部電視劇, 用the, 第二空格表示“一”
的意思, 第三個空格后, 有best出現(xiàn), 是最高級, 要填the, 故選D。
2. A 考查非謂語動詞。see sb. do sth. 意為 “看見某人做某事”。do sth. 是不帶to的不定式, 在這個結(jié)構(gòu)中充當(dāng)賓語補足語，故選A。
3. B 考查特殊疑問詞。how often意為“每隔多久一次”, 它的回答通常是 “次數(shù)+a+時間名詞”。how soon意為 “多久” , 它的回答通常是 “in+一段時間”。how long意為 “有多久” ,它的回答通常是“for+一段時間”或“since+時間點”。what time提問的是鐘點，故選B。

5. B 考查征求意見的交際語。對Would you mind . . . ?的回答, 先應(yīng)判斷是介意還是不介意。如果介意通常用Sorry; Better not;如果不介意就用Of course not; Not at all; OK等。根據(jù)最后一句的意思:“這兒不允許吸煙”。由此判斷應(yīng)是介意的，故選B。

12. B 考查時態(tài)。was/were+v-ing形式表示過去某個時間正在進(jìn)行的動作。由于空格前的主語是we, 故選B。
13. D 考查短語，根據(jù)“live on 表示(人)以……為食;而feed on (動物)以……為食”可知，故選D。
14. D 考查there be句型。根據(jù)tomorrow可知用一般將來時, 可以排除A和B, 由于matches是復(fù)數(shù), 故選D。

Exercise is very important to us students. Nowadays, we are under so much competition and pressure that our health is becoming worse and worse, poor eyesight, no enough energy for study, which makes us worried too much. We need to take part in all kinds of outdoor activities, such as having ball games, running, swimming, and so on, from which we can keep healthy and strong, study better and live happily.
No matter how busy, we wish teachers could leave us less homework to do so that we can have free time to take part in sports. We also hope our school can give us more chances to do some activities which are good for us.
I think health is everything, doing exercise can make us healthy, wealthy and smart.

We didn’t have a tree. My dad had as much pride as anybody, I suppose, so he wouldn’t just say that we couldn’t afford one. When I mentioned it, my mother said that we weren’t going to have one this year, that we couldn’t afford one, and even if we could, it was stupid to mess up your house with a dead tree.
About three days before Christmas, I was out collecting for my paper route. It was fairly late, snowing and very cold. I went to the apartment building to try to catch a customer who hadn’t paid me for nearly two months. she owed me seven dollars. Much to my surprise, she was home. She invited me in and not only did she pay me, she also gave me a dollar tip.
On the way home, I walked past a Christmas tree shop and the idea hit me. The selection wasn’t very good because it was so close to the holiday, but there was this one real nice tree. It had been a very expensive tree and no one had bought it; now it was so close to Christmas that the man was afraid no one would.
He wanted ten dollars for it, but when I told him what I had, he said he might sell it for that. I really didn’t want to spend the whole money on the tree, but it was so pretty that I finally agreed. I dragged it all the way home and I tried hard not to damage it. I arrived at home at last. My heart was bursting as I announced that I had a surprise.
“Where did you get that tree?” my mother exclaimed. But it wasn’t the kind of exclamation that indicates pleasure. After she knew the truth, she said that I was going to end up in the poorhouse(救濟(jì)院) because I believe in stupid things like Christmas trees. My mother had never talked to me like that before and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
4. Why did the writer’s mother refuse a tree?
A. Because she couldn’t afford a dead Christmas tree.
B. Because she thought it was unreasonable to have a tree.
C. Because she was much so proud that she felt better.
D. Because she thought she wasn’t very proud of herself.
5. How did the writer feel when he got home?
A. Upset and calm. B. Anxious and happy.
C. Proud and excited. D.Sorry and confused.
6. What made the shop owner sell the tree?
A. His pity on the writer’s situation B. His desire of offering help
C. His worry of keeping the tree. D. His kindness of helping others
7. What the writer’s mother said in the last paragraph means ______.
A. she was pleased B. she was angry
C. she was doubtful D. she was embarrassed

In every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments(裝飾) and household goods, sometimes even in clothes.
The furniture may often be “antique”, and it may well have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salerooms, where one piece might well be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables, you cannot help thinking of those long-dead hands which polished that wood, of those now-closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love.
The books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move house, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border between England and Wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. Even the cinema and castle have been taken over, and now books have replaced sheep as the town’s main trade.
There are also much more humble shops, sometimes simply called “junk shops”, where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply. Sometimes the profits(利潤)from these shops go to charity. Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad; you think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on to another country or to death.
Although the British do not worship(崇拜)their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down; they are rebuilt until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.
8. Books found in second-hand book shops may .
A.be copies of the earliest printings B. be on sale for the first time
C. never be worth very much D. never be rare
9. What was the small town on the border between England and Wales famous for?
A. Its sheep. B. Its bookshops. C. Its cinema. D. Its castle.
10. The average British person .
A. does not respect old things because they are not fashionable
B. likes to build new houses simply because it is fashionable to do so
C. likes to buy new things because they are fashionable.
D. does not like to buy things simply because they are fashionable
11. What does the underlined word “them” (Paragraph 4) refer to?
A. junk shops B. profits from shops C. old things D. old houses
D
From self-driving cars to care-bots(care+robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.
But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs — just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.
“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.
A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author.
“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
12. We can infer from the text that in the future _____.
A. people will face many difficulties
B. people will take up more creative jobs
C. artificial intelligence will threaten people's lives
D. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces
13. According to the report, _____.
A. people won't necessarily lose jobs
B. big companies will face fewer challenges
C. small companies will win against big companies
D. most people will become interested in technology
14. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?
A. Mixed B. Worried. C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful.
15. Jonathan Grudin’s words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.
A. there will be enough jobs for people
B. things will change a lot in a few years
C. many people will become unemployed
D. technology will totally change future jobs

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 16 .
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 17 We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 18 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
19 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
20 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.
A.This time there was no tent.
B.Things are going to be improved.
C.The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D.I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E.I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F.After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G.There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

What is known to all, some parents would rather their children rent houses outside the school instead of living in a dorm. There are advantages for both. Living in a dorm must strengthen relationship or cooperation between classmates. A dorm is more like a society, which enables students learn to adapt to each other, thus makes them prepared for the social life later. However, some students find that more convenient for them to live outside the school on their own than living in a dorm. And it’s better for their studies as they won’t be interrupted by other. As a consequence, they can devote a plenty of time to studying. But it is impossible that they will meet some safety problems when living outside the school.

How to grow up healthily
As we know, cellphones and computers are common in our daily life. However, children nowadays depend much on them, which, in my opinion does great harm to their growth.
In my opinion, the major task for children is to learn various knowledge. Therefore, they should fix more attention on it and be less dependent on electronics. Besides, they should spare more time to take exercise. If so, they can have a healthy body, which in turn contributes to their studies.
The last but not least, children should learn to communicate with others. They can have a heart-to-heart conversation with their parents and teachers if they have some problems hard to solve. As they have more experience in life, they can give children plenty of instructions.

Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs, teachers find students’ attention improve.
Peter, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, the USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2010. “The students love them”, he says. Peter took a survey of his students. He found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.
The manager(經(jīng)理), Mary, felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs, she encourages the use of the balls. She hopes not only teachers but also students know how to use them. “Our products(產(chǎn)品) are used in 24 states(州), three provinces(省) in Canada, Puerto Rico and Japan,” says Mary. “Research(調(diào)查) shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter,” says Mary, “but it feels not boring.” Because the students are moving, so the kids have more energy and can keep longer.
“Besides, they're fun.” says Peter.

In Britain, people usually begin their talks with weather. For example, they will say“It’s a fine day, isn’t it?”“Do you think it will rain?”
Many people believe that they are able to tell what the weather will be like. But they never agree with each other. One man may say, “How cloudy (陰的) it is now! It’s going to rain.” Another man will say, “No, it’s going to be fine later.”
People always hope the weather they want. For example, when a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it’s going to rain. When a man wants to travel, he is sure the weather will be fine quickly.
Now almost everyone listens to the weather report. It doesn’t always tell us the weather we want, it only tells us what the weather will be like. But sometimes it makes mistakes(錯誤).

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
This is an old English saying (諺語). It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.
Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you go to bed late, you can’t have enough sleep. Then you can’t think carefully and your homework will be wrong. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!
Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We should sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us sleep well. When the daylight comes, we should get up. This is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak. Exercise keeps it strong.
Exercise helps the blood (血液) to move around inside the body. Blood takes nutrition (營養(yǎng)) to all parts of our bodies. The brains (大腦) in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!
Our bodies also need air to breathe (呼吸). Without air we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean, fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。
( )46. The old English saying tells us _______.
A. how to make more money
B. when we should get up
C. it is important to go to bed and get up early
D. to stay up late
( )47. A child needs at least _______ hours’ sleep every night.

A. exercise often B. have enough sleep
C. go to bed early D. get up early
( )49. _______ provides nutrition for our brains.

I get angry when she copies (抄襲) my homework. And she sometimes makes ink marks (墨跡) on my clothes with her pen. These things always happen and she doesn’t care about my feelings. I need your help. Can you let me have another deskmate?
Yours,
Celia
Dear Celia,
I’m sorry to hear that Lana has so many bad habits. And I’m glad that you discuss your problems with me.

She said she would do her own homework and be careful with her pen. She asked you to remind (提醒) her by saying“Would you mind returning my pencil?”
Would you mind not changing your deskmate? She is a nice girl. It’s important for you to help each other and you will understand each other better.
