When Thomas Moore, 11, stepped up to the plate (棒球比賽中的本壘板) at Oriole Park at Camden Yard in Baltimore, the crowd went wild. It was the biggest applause(掌聲) the park had ever heard for a 36 baseball player.

“We talked about my hair 49 ,” Moore says. “I felt even more proud of myself. And I was already proud.”
Jones said that Moore was a role 50 for other kids.

A
Maria Sibylla Merian
Today, children can happily explain how a caterpillar (毛毛蟲(chóng)) turns into a butterfly, thanks to Maria Sibylla Merian. Born in Germany in 1647, Merian was fond of insects, and she began collecting, studying and drawing them when she was as young as 13. It was through her study of caterpillar that she discovered the truth about their life cycles, and she went on to publish two volumes of naturalist research about the life cycles of insects.
Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace, born in 1815, was the daughter of famous British poet Lord Byron, but she wasn’t a poet herself. She was the world’s first computer programmer. Lovelace wrote some suggestions as to how to program “computing machines” to calculate a specific sequence of numbers. Besides this, she predicted them to do everything that could possibly be represented by a series of numbers, from producing images to composing music.
Hedy Lamarr
She was born in 1914 in Austria and moved to the United States in the hope of going after a film career. In 1942, in the midst of her Hollywood success, she and composer George Antheil received a patent for a device that could change radio signal frequencies. The purpose of the technology was to keep military enemies—especially, the Nazis --from decoding (解碼) messages. But it did more than that--it paved the way for much of the wireless technology we use today.
56. What was Maria Sibylla Merian’s achievement?
A. She became the world’s first woman naturist.
B. She drew all kinds of insects when she was 13.
C. She discovered the truth about butterflies’ cycles.
D. She invented a device that could change radio signal frequencies.
57. What can we learn about Hedy Lamarr from the passage?
A. She was gifted in composing music.
B. She shared a patent with another person.
C. She was a computer programmer during World War Ⅱ.
D. She was born in Germany and moved to the United States.
58. What did these women have in common?
A. They had affection for insects.
B. They were famous computer progarmmers.
C. They were born in Germany and moved to the USA.
D. They were all great women that we might not learn about in history class.
B
The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”
“ I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”
But one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”
I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame others, and you play the role of victim, chances are you’ll start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
59. The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.
A. the musicians have a bad life
B. people have poor taste in music
C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing
D. young people have greater chances of succeeding

61. From Paragraph 7, we can ______.
A. make more friends
B. know the right way of making friends
C. develop a better relationship with our friends
D. arrange the time with our friends properly
62. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. You are who your friends are
B. True friends have hearts that beat as one
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed
D. Friends are thieves of time
C
China will build a comprehensive (綜合性的) network to detect (檢測(cè)) pollution of the land, sea and air by 2020, employing satellites, drones(無(wú)人機(jī))and remote sensors to monitor the environment.
The national leadership agreed to the network plan in July, saying the government will lead the monitoring, share information among departments and regions, and be held accountable (追究責(zé)任) if violations (違規(guī)行為) are found, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said on Tuesday.
Satellites, a major tool for monitoring air pollution, will receive a boost (大力發(fā)展) this year. The ministry said it will accelerate research on two atmospheric environmental monitoring satellites.
The ministry will improve a remote sensor network, guided by the goals of the 13th Five-Year Plan(2016-2020), which is scheduled to be released at the end of this year, according to the ministry’s Environmental Supervision Department.
Remote monitoring has played a bigger role in locating pollution sources. Drones helped authorities locate polluted areas in the Tengger Desert in northern China and identify scattered summer straw burnings.
Hebei province, which has a serious air pollution problem, has cooperated with the ministry’s Satellite Environment Center to conduct monitoring from satellites and monitoring stations since January last year.
“We used the data from the center’s satellites to forecast the movement of smog during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings in November, ”Zhang Feng, an engineer in the Environmental Supervision Department of the provincial environmental watchdog, said on Tuesday.
Data collected from monitoring stations helped authorities provide accurate forecasts on hazy days during that period, he said.
63. Which of the following is true?
A. The government will act as the leader in the monitoring.
B. The 13th Five-Year Plan is to be released by the Satellite Environment Centre.
C. Satellites haven’t been put into use so far in environmental protection.
D. Remote monitoring hasn’t shown its advantages.
64. What does the underlined word “accelerate” in Para. 3 mean?
A. avoid B. improve C. achieve D. awake
65. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. China pays more attention to pollution.
B. Pollution is becoming more and more serious in China.
C. High-tech is used to monitor pollution in China.
D. Satellites have been widely used in China.
D
China is fondly remembering one of its most famous radio voices, a man whose vivid storytelling was a comfort to millions of people, from commuters stuck in traffic to restless teens struggling to sleep. Shan Tianfang, was a leading performer of the traditional Chinese art form pingshu, which translates as "storytelling".
Pingshu dates from the Song Dynasty (AD960-1279)when performers would entertain villagers by telling stories in a particularly emotive style. It remains particularly popular in north-eastern China. Performers wear traditional dress and use very basic props - often a folded fan and a gavel. Pingshu is sometimes performed in tea houses and small theatres, but many Chinese associate the art form with radio. And in a country where sleeping problems are commonplace, pingshu is still popular as a way of helping people to wind down at bedtime.
Shan Tianfang was born in 1934 in Yingkou, in north-eastern Liaoning province. His family introduced him to folk arts from a young age and he began learning pingshu when he was 19. He became known in Liaoning for his work on stage and in local teahouses during the 1950s and 1960s, and performed in an art troupe around the region. From 1966-1976, Shan, along with other pingshu performers like Yuan Kuocheng, was forced to stop work. During the 1980s.Shan made the transition (轉(zhuǎn)型) to state-run radio, and his captivating storytelling became comfort listening for people across the country. By the 1990s, Shan had become a well-known face on state TV, even performing in the annual Spring Festival Gala show. He has died aged 84 following a long illness.
Shan performed over 12,000 stories on TV and radio. His stories attracted people of all ages. One of his most acclaimed performances is of the Heroes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He gave countless performances of the “Four Classic Novels” (Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West, Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin) and also helped to bring lesser-known classical Chinese literature to new audiences.
He was able to use the medium to entrance his audience and in the process he helped to popularise classical Chinese literature. As film director Zhang Jizhong told the Global Times newspaper: “He could describe a scene and a character extremely vividly. He once had a long talk with me about adapting the heroic stories he told into films or television shows to help promote Chinese classics and traditional culture.”
But in his later years, the growth of online and digital media exposed the challenges of keeping his art form alive. Shan turned his efforts towards writing books and opening performance schools to teach pingshu to young people. They included the Shan Tianfang Culture and Media Academy in Beijing, a Shan Tianfang teahouse and “storytelling base” in Anshan in Liaoning province. Meanwhile, modern productions of pingshu reference (引用，參照) contemporary (現(xiàn)代的) culture to draw in new performers and audiences. Performers like Guo Heming have emerged, putting a modern spin on pingshu by adapting popular works, including the Harry Potter stories.
Although he wasn't particularly active on social media, he amassed more than one million fans on the Sina Weibo platform.
A memorial was held for him on 15 September but millions of Chinese will miss his voice.
66. From the first paragraph, we know that ______.
A. Shan Tianfang has a sound voice
B. Shan Tianfang often helps the people who got caught in traffic
C. Shan Tianfang is famous for storytelling on the radio
D. Shan Tianfang gives medicine to teenagers who have trouble sleeping
67. The second paragraphs tells us that pingshu ______.
A. is particularly popular in the east of China
B. is still a way to help people struggling to sleep
C. performers wear traditional dress and use a huge hammer
D. is usually performed in tea houses and theatres
68. The third paragraph is developed ______.
A. in order of place
B. in order of time
C. by giving examples
D. by making comparisons
69. Besides the performance of the Heroes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Shan ______.
A. adapted the Harry Potter stories
B. was particularly active on the Sina Weibo platform
C. founded the Shan Tianfang Culture and Media Academay in his home town
D. brought the “Four Classic Novels” to new audiences
70. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Shan made great contributions to spreading Chinese culture
B. Yuan Kuocheng, Zhang Jizhong and Guo Heming are pingshu performers.
C. Shan has passed away, and so have his voice and his works
D. The growth of online and digital media helps pingshu develop quickly.

Why Is Recycling Important?
When you throw things away, you might be very glad to do it. Unfortunately, that’s not the end of the story. The things we throw away have to go somewhere-usually they go off to be buried underground in a landfill (垃圾填埋) or burnt in an incinerator (焚化爐). Landfills can be terribly polluting. They look awful, they smell terrible, they take up space that could be used for better things, and they sometimes create harmful soil and water pollution that can kill fish in our rivers and seas.
One of the worst things about landfills is that they’re wasting a huge amount of useful material. It takes a lot of energy and a lot of resources to make things, and when we throw those things in a landfill, at the end of their lives, we’re also saying goodbye to all the energy and resources instead of burying it in landfills. That certainly has advantages: it reduces the amount of waste that has to be buried and we can get useful energy from it. But it can also produce harmful air pollution, and burning almost anything adds to the problem of global warming and climate change.
The trouble is , we’re all in the habit of throwing things away. In the early part of 20th century, people used materials much more wisely-especially in World War Ⅱ. but in recent decades we’ve become a throwaway society. We tend to buy new things instead of getting old ones repaired. A lot of men use single-use razors (剃須刀), for example, instead of buying reusable ones, while a lot of women wear single-use stockings. Partly this is to do with the great convenience of throwaway items. It’s also because they’re cheap. But wasteful period in our history is coming to an end.
We’re finally starting to realize that our lifestyle is creating problems for future generations. Earth is soon going to be running on empty if we carry on as we are. Americans have a much richer life than almost anyone else on Earth. What happens when people in developing countries such as India and China decide they want to live the same way as us? According to the environmentalists, we’d need two Earths to satisfy all their needs.

Nowadays the idea of cloning humans has raised concern internationally. People have different attitudes towards it.
Some people who are in favour of human cloning believe it is of benefit. It can bring hope for those who can’t give birth to babies. By replacing the damaged parts or organs, cloning will bring those who are disabled or suffer from diseases a chance to recover. Besides, it can relieve those who lost their relatives by cloning the dead.
However, others who are against human cloning think cloning must be forbidden. First, human cloning goes against the law of nature. Secondly, no one can foresee what results cloning may bring. Thirdly, it has challenged questions of morality. Will you call a cloned father father or brother?
In my opinion, cloning can bring hope or do harm as well. A law must be passed to limit cloning study to ensure it benefits man.

W: Oh! That isn’t like her.

M: All right. I shall graduate from Columbia University of Foreign Studies next year. I major in international trade.
W: Are you single or married?
M: I’m still single. I’d rather secure my career before settling down in a family.
W: That’s the kind of man we are looking for. Our promotion work needs much travel. So, do you mind many business trips? There will be six to ten times traveling abroad a month.
M: Six to ten? Oh, that is indeed…
W: OK. So I would say this work is indeed demanding.
M: Er… I think it will be a challenge for me, but I am glad to take it.
W: It has been pleasant talking with you. We’ll notify you of our final decision within one week.

M: Hi, everyone! Welcome to my blog. Here is the message I promised you. Last weekend we were taken around London in a bus. It was fantastic. I saw Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, the lions in Trafalgar Square, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. I liked the Tower of London best because it is a thousand years old. They say there are lots of ghosts walking around but I didn’t see any! We also went to see all the famous people made of wax(蠟) at Madame Tussauds(杜莎夫人蠟像館).That was good fun. Jean Louis took a photograph of me standing next to Queen Elizabeth the Second.
Tomorrow we’re going to Stratford on Avon where Shakespeare was born. And we’re going to see one of his plays. It’s called Hamlet. There are three theaters in Stratford and we are going to see it in the Royal Shakespeare Theater. Our teacher told us the houses in Stratford are about five hundred years old and the countryside is beautiful, so I’ll take lots of photos to show you.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
The blooming of social media and interactive smartphone-based apps has proved that e-marketing is an unchangeable trend. In the case of China, the latest battlefield is beauty camera apps, which have become an overnight hit in the West.
1. MeituPic
Developed by the Xiamen-based Meitu Inc, MeituPic is the company’s flagship beauty camera app and was the first to become a big hit among Western users. The app has drawn some 456 million users, who use it to post more than 6 billion photos every month.
In addition to MeituPic, Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps such as Beauty Plus, Poster Labs and Meipai, each specializing in facial feature improvement, video editing and many other features.
2. Pitu
Tian Tian Pi Tu, is a beauty app developed by China’s Internet giant Tencent. Similar to other photo-editing apps, Pitu offers a number of beautifying filters, blemish(瑕疵) removing tools and virtual makeup choices for users to choose from.
Launched in 2014, Pitu has accumulated 106 million monthly active users (MAUs). While the number is not as impressive as that of Meitu’ s apps, some argue that the user base of Tencent’ s gaming products and chat applications, such as QQ and WeChat, gives Pitu great potential for further growth. According to Chinese app watchers, Pitu’ s target audience is younger and more individualized than that of MeituPic. 80 percent of Pitu’ s users are younger than 25, giving the app more room to try out more new features.
3. FaceU
In contrast with most other beauty apps, FaceU, focuses more on the social feature, encouraging users to video chat with friends and even strangers while playing with its fun stickers (貼紙) — and the strategy is undoubtedly working. Launched in 2016, the app, which mainly targets female users between 15 and 35, has twice made it onto the Apple store’ s Chart for top apps.
21. Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps except ______.
A. Meipai. B. MeituPic. C. Tian Tian Pi Tu. D. Beauty Plus.
22. What gives Tian Tian Pi Tu more room to grow potentially?
A. The amount of Meitu Apps’s potential users.
B. Users of Tencent’s gaming products and chat apps.
C. The various kinds of photo-editing functions.
D. The room to try out more new features.
23. According to the passage, what do the three Apps have in common?
A. They mainly target young users. B. They all launched in 2016.
C. They specialize in photo editing. D. They are popular and hot.
B
Almost everybody once felt loneliness. Loneliness doesn’t depend on how many people you are surrounded, but actually is decided by how much socially connected you are. Social media such as WeChat, QQ and Microblog is growing rapidly, which seems to have expanded our network, but actually has thrown ourselves into the hole of loneliness. Now loneliness is poisoning our mental health. To jump out of the “net”, recently the concept of “cohousing” is introduced by some western architects(建筑師)and the new living style is well-received in the US among seniors. So what’s cohousing?
Most cohousing communities are 15 to 35 private and individual houses built around a public area where social interaction takes place. Those individual houses are actually the same with common houses with living rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms. In the public area, there are a variety of public facilities like big kitchens. Residents can regularly plan activities and meals together. Some neighborhoods have dinner every day with work clearly given to each person. The closer ties in the cohousing communities tend to increase people’s sense of security. In addition, cohousing units prove to be economical. Although the house itself might be a little higher, the total costs can be lower after considering energy savings through shared meals, transportation and others.
The attitude towards “cohousing” is mixed. Intentional people-to-people interaction is greatly valued the accepted by supporters. They treat the lifestyle as the lifeline out of the hole of loneliness. However, opponents hold that privacy outweighs intentional social interaction. They find no need to change their current living style and want to stay unchanged as long as possible. Such opinion is challenged by some people. They argue when those people get older with sudden death of their income or even mate, they will realize the value of cohousing communities. They are suggested to plan ahead. What’s your idea? Will you choose to live in cohousing communities?
24.The author uses “social media” in the first paragraph to _________.
A. show the problem of using them B. persuade readers to value communication
C. remind readers of their ways of communication D. prove the importance of them
25. What can we learn from the cohousing communities?
A. The communities are built in an area which contains 15-35 public houses.
B. Residents plan activities and meals together in their individual houses.
C. The houses in the communities are similar to common houses with necessary facilities.
D. The communities will cost people more money because the price of the house is higher.
26. What’s the author’s attitude towards “cohousing”?
A. Uninterested. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Objective.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. What is a “cohousing community”? B. Would you choose “cohousing”?
C. How do you purchase “cohousing”? D. Why does “cohousing” appear?
C
Despite the countless differences between people's characters and careers, or their likes and their dislikes, it seems that we are all connected in this wonderful life by one thing — the pursuit (追求) of happiness.
For me, happiness is horse riding, Cadbury's Creme Eggs and spending time with my friends. Some people are at their happiest at home, while others find their paradise (樂(lè)園) through traveling in faroff foreign lands. Happiness can be as simple as a surprise bunch of fresh flowers or a really strong coffee, just when you need it most. Sometimes, happiness comes from spending time with loved ones; at other times, it's having a quiet night at home, with nothing but a movie and a comfortable bed for company.
Since it comes in so many shapes and sizes, it's sometimes easy to take happiness for granted. Maybe you overslept, missed the bus and had to walk to school in the rain, only to be told off for being late. Or perhaps, because of work, you had to cancel plans with friends, despite looking forward to seeing them for ages. Forgotten keys, delayed flights, an argument with your parents, untimely illness or injury ... all very frustrating and understandably guaranteed to make you feel unhappy.
Luckily, there are a few simple ways to make_the_glass_seem_halffull_again. To start with, things like trying out cycling or walking instead of driving to work and listening to music are great moodboosters. Volunteering and getting involved with a charity are two ways in which you can become happier through helping others. Last but certainly not least, trying hugging your way to happiness; it's been suggested that we humans need at least five hugs a day. If you've been having a bad day, there's nothing better than a good old bear hug.
28.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.Happiness is getting what you need.
B.Flowers can easily surprise someone.
C.One man's meat is another man's poison.
D.Happiness means different things to different people.
29.To tell us that people are easy to take happiness for granted, the author ________.
A.performs an experiment B.provides some examples
C.tells an interesting story D.presents some difficulties
30.By “make the glass seem halffull again”， the author means “________”.
A.make up for your loss B.refill the glass half full
C.make you feel happy again D.help you seem like a positive man
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.Wealth and happiness B.The pursuit of happiness
C.How to find pure happiness D.Don't ignore simple happiness
D
I left home to support my sister in her efforts to present a music festival. She lives on the other side of the world, and I went to visit her, not wanting to leave and feeling like I was leaving home against my will. However, I wanted to show her my support because she is my only sister.
So I boarded the plane in mid-August, and hated the long flight. I arrived, tired and hungry. I had left my husband of 2 years, alone, in our old New Orleans house.
I was all set and ready to perform for my sister for the music festival on Sunday morning when I received a call from Chicago. The hurricane was predicted to hit our city, and many people had already evacuated, but my husband chose to stay behind. He could not get a call to me on the other side of the world, but he could call his cousin in Chicago. He gave his cousin a message for me, that he would be just fine, and not to worry.
As the day wore on, I finally took the stage in front of hundreds of Europeans, and I realized, thanks to CNN, that New Orleans was under water.
I performed, hoping that my husband would survive. And I performed perfectly. The audience stood and applauded. I left the stage and went straight to the TV. I saw the street sign near my home, of Humanity Street, but nothing below it, except water.
In the days that followed, I found out that my house, my car, my clothes, my furniture, everything that I’d left behind was gone…but not my husband. He survived by riding on the rear bumper(后保險(xiǎn)杠)of a VW bus, holding on to the overhead luggage rack, in the pouring rain, down the highway from New Orleans, half-way to Baton Rouge. The rest of the journey was a long walk, but he survived.
By the first week of September, I flew back to the Baton Rouge airport, and hugged my husband. Since then, our relationship has grown deeper; we have completely rebuilt our house, bought a new car, bought new furniture and new clothes and joined an inspirational, spirit-filled community.
32. Why did the author leave home?
A. To look after her sister. B. To attend a music festival.
C. To watch a performance. D. To visit her husband’s cousin.
33. How did the author feel when she left home?
A. Disappointed. B. Worried. C. Tired. D. Unwilling.
34. What does the underlined word “evacuated” mean?
A. Gathered. B. Struggled. C. Escaped. D. Hid.
35. What might be the title for the passage?
A. Lost it All, Gained Even More. B. Once Gone, Never Returned.
C. Caught in the Hurricane. D. Trapped in a Dilemma.

Life is just like a box. Inside it are happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in it teach us new lessons and make us a better person.
Love
Love plays a key role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel and violent. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care. They tell us what is right or wrong, good or bad. __36__.

Happiness and sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short¬lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others gives a certain level of fulfillment. __37__. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and will pass away.
Failure and success
__38__. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.
Hope and despair
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. __39__， because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same. We have only one choice — keep moving on in life and be hopeful.

Dear Sir
Having read about your newspaper’s decision to start a campaign for protect the environment, I decided to write you this letter. The state of our parks are very shocking, with rubbish everywhere. I was used to find a trip to the park very relaxed. Upon the arrival of spring, beautiful birds would sing happy in the park. I enjoy this very much. However, now I just find it tiring, because I have to pick up rubbish which I am going to sit. The grass is covered in plastic bags and food. I am sad that the young people of today do not clean up after himself before they leave the park. There are so many interesting animals and insects lived in our parks. It would be a shame if they were destroyed because people’s activities there.

been …… bear hug.”可知，make the glass seem half¬full again在這里指的是“令你重獲幸福”。
31.解析：選B 標(biāo)題歸納題。本文首段提出追求幸福。第二、三、四段分別從幸福的定義、
幸福的不易、怎樣獲取幸福三個(gè)方面展開(kāi)論述，B項(xiàng)能更好地綜合全文內(nèi)容。
語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。生活充滿(mǎn)了喜怒哀樂(lè)，充滿(mǎn)了失敗與成功，也充滿(mǎn)了希望與
絕望。生活是一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)的過(guò)程，它告訴我們?cè)S多的真理。

【小題1】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段的句子“I left home to support my sister in her efforts to present a music festival.”可知，作者離開(kāi)家是為了參加一個(gè)音樂(lè)節(jié)。故選B。
【小題2】D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段的句子“not wanting to leave and feeling like I was leaving home against my will.”可知，作者在離開(kāi)家的時(shí)候是不愿意的。故選D。

【名師點(diǎn)睛】
詞義猜測(cè)題。利用上下文提供的情景和線索，進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的綜合分析進(jìn)而推測(cè)詞義，是閱讀過(guò)程中的一大關(guān)鍵，這也是近年來(lái)高考考查的熱點(diǎn)。最常見(jiàn)的就是利用上下文語(yǔ)境、常識(shí)和語(yǔ)法關(guān)系推斷詞義。1.抓住所需推斷詞匯前后的“mean”或系動(dòng)詞或破折號(hào)等直接定義該詞的部分。2.抓住文章主旨與該段所表達(dá)的中心。特別對(duì)于議論文要牢記論點(diǎn)與論據(jù)的相互支撐關(guān)系?！拘☆}3】C詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章第三段的句子“The hurricane was predicted to hit our city,”颶風(fēng)被預(yù)測(cè)襲擊了這個(gè)城市，很多人都逃離了?？芍?，“evacuated”的意思是“逃離”。故選C。
36.選C 第一空前提到只有父母會(huì)無(wú)條件地愛(ài)我們，第一空后又講到只有結(jié)婚、生子之后才能體會(huì)到那種情感。由此推斷第一空選C項(xiàng)最合適。
37.選G 第二空后一句提到?jīng)]有平靜的心態(tài)，人是不會(huì)快樂(lè)的。由此可知，此處選G項(xiàng)。
38.選F 根據(jù)本段標(biāo)題Failure and success以及第三空后一句“It helps us to touch the sky ...”可知，選F項(xiàng)“失敗是通向成功之路”最合適。
39.選A 本段標(biāo)題為Hope and despair，第四空前提到希望讓生活得以繼續(xù)，希望讓我們有夢(mèng)想，第四空的原因狀語(yǔ)從句提到因?yàn)楹谝惯^(guò)后總會(huì)迎來(lái)黎明，因此此處選A項(xiàng)，生活告訴人們即使在最黑暗的日子也不要絕望。
40.選B 本段第一句提到昨天已經(jīng)過(guò)去，不必后悔，那么只有今天努力，才會(huì)有美好的明天。故選B項(xiàng)。
一、 完型 語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文講的是作者放棄了優(yōu)越的工作，只為實(shí)現(xiàn)童年的夢(mèng)想。也許，就像
作者說(shuō)的，這個(gè)世界真的永遠(yuǎn)屬于勇于追夢(mèng)的人!
41.解析：選D 句意：我記得當(dāng)時(shí)坐在禮堂里，聽(tīng)著齊格勒先生的演講，他把每個(gè)人都說(shuō)得精神高漲、躍躍欲試。raise sb.’s spirits意為“使振奮;使鼓起勇氣”，該短語(yǔ)在句中作listen to的賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)，即listen to sb. do sth.結(jié)構(gòu)。
42.解析：選A 根據(jù)下一句“When we got to the car”可推斷此處表示：離開(kāi)那兒的時(shí)候，我
覺(jué)得自己好像已經(jīng)無(wú)所不能了，故A項(xiàng)正確。
43.解析：選C 根據(jù)第44空后的“I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Ziglar”可知
此句表示：我想讓人們產(chǎn)生那樣的感覺(jué)。使役動(dòng)詞make后接不帶to的不定式作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)，
即：make sb. do sth.，意為“使某人做某事”，符合句意。故C項(xiàng)正確。
44.解析：選B 分析句子成分后可知，此處ask后接的是賓語(yǔ)從句，從句中mean后缺少賓
語(yǔ)，故用what引導(dǎo)，意為“什么”。故B項(xiàng)正確。
45.解析：選A 根據(jù)下一段首句“Recently, I began seeking my dream ...”的提示可知此處表示
一個(gè)夢(mèng)想誕生了，故A項(xiàng)正確。
46.解析：選A 句意：我在一家財(cái)富100強(qiáng)公司工作了四年，從一個(gè)銷(xiāo)售培訓(xùn)人員做到地
區(qū)銷(xiāo)售經(jīng)理，在我事業(yè)達(dá)到巔峰時(shí)我離開(kāi)了這家公司。根據(jù)語(yǔ)義可知此處用after引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀
語(yǔ)從句。故A項(xiàng)正確。
47.解析：選A 根據(jù)此空后的“and ending as a regional (地區(qū)的) sales manager”可知此處為
beginning as“以……開(kāi)始”，故A項(xiàng)正確。
48.解析：選D 根據(jù)上半句中提到的作者是地區(qū)的銷(xiāo)售經(jīng)理，故可推斷此處表示她處于事
業(yè)的巔峰，故D項(xiàng)正確。
49.解析：選C disappointed意為“失望的”;moved意為“感動(dòng)的”;surprised意為“吃
驚的”;delighted意為“高興的”。根據(jù)此空后的“... after earning a six¬figure income”可知
收入都達(dá)到六位數(shù)了卻選擇離開(kāi)，當(dāng)然是令人驚訝的，故C項(xiàng)正確。
50.解析：選B 根據(jù)句意“他們想知道為什么我會(huì)為了一個(gè)夢(mèng)想而去冒險(xiǎn)”可知此處用why
引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句。故B項(xiàng)正確。
51.解析：選C 句意：我是在參加了一次地區(qū)銷(xiāo)售會(huì)議后，才決定離開(kāi)自己的安全港灣，
去開(kāi)創(chuàng)自己的公司。make a decision意為“做出決定”，符合語(yǔ)境。根據(jù)下段中“Having made
that decision, I was immediately __58__.”也可知答案。故C項(xiàng)正確。
52.解析：選A 根據(jù)句意可知，此處意為“參加地區(qū)銷(xiāo)售會(huì)議”，表示參加會(huì)議、典禮、
上課、聽(tīng)報(bào)告等都要用attend, enter for意為“報(bào)名參加某項(xiàng)比賽”;hold a meeting意為“召
開(kāi)會(huì)議”，這里不符合句意。故A項(xiàng)正確。
53.解析：選D 句意：公司的副總裁在會(huì)議上發(fā)表了演說(shuō)，從而改變了我的人生。make a
speech意為“作演講”，故D項(xiàng)正確。
54.解析：選D 根據(jù)上文的問(wèn)題可推斷此處表示他給了我們片刻的時(shí)間寫(xiě)下三個(gè)愿望，
moment“時(shí)刻;片刻”，故D項(xiàng)正確。
55.解析：選C 根據(jù)上句中“If a god would offer ...”可知他問(wèn)我們：如果神能滿(mǎn)足你三個(gè)愿
望，那你希望得到什么?因此，這里應(yīng)與他之前的提問(wèn)相呼應(yīng)：你們?yōu)槭裁葱枰?來(lái)幫助自
己)呢?故C項(xiàng)正確。下文56空后“I was ready and didn’t need a god’s help”也有提示。
56.解析：選A 句意：我意識(shí)到過(guò)去自己所做的一切都是為這一刻做好準(zhǔn)備。根據(jù)句意可
知此處everything正確。
57.解析：選D 根據(jù)上文“我準(zhǔn)備好了，我不需要神的幫助，我要成為一個(gè)能鼓舞人心的
演說(shuō)者。”可知，這里指一個(gè)演說(shuō)者誕生了，故D項(xiàng)正確。
58.解析：選D examine意為“檢查”;search意為“尋找”;find意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)”;test意
為“試驗(yàn);考驗(yàn)”。根據(jù)下句中 “... my husband was laid off from his job”提到丈夫失業(yè)了，故
這里指“我”剛下定決心，就經(jīng)受了考驗(yàn)，故D項(xiàng)正確。
59.解析：選C 此處指：我剛辭職，丈夫就失業(yè)了，我們一份收入都沒(méi)有了。家里一分錢(qián)
都沒(méi)有不符合常理，故不能選擇money。
60.解析：選B 根據(jù)句意可知，此處表示：我也開(kāi)始有新客戶(hù)預(yù)約演說(shuō)，故B項(xiàng)正確。此
外根據(jù)上文的“a motivational speaker”提示也可知這是與演說(shuō)有關(guān)的。

Dear Sarah,
I’m very glad to receive your last e-mail. At your request, I’d like to tell you something about my school life.
This year I am Senior 3, and I have six subjects to learn every day. School hours usually begin at 7 am and end at 8:30 pm. We are making the most of every minute, preparing for the coming college entrance examination. Though time is precious, I try to do some sports or do some reading after class. Sometimes, too, I surf the Internet to update and amuse myself.
It’s been my dream to go to Peking University ever since I went to senior high school because of its strong cultural atmosphere as well as its high academic status.
I’d appreciate it if you can tell me something about your school life as well. I’m looking forward to it.

LONDON, England — London, England’s famous “Big Ben” bell will be silenced for four long years. The keeper of the Great Clock announced this news Monday. The 158-year-old British clock will be getting some repairs.
Londoners were not happy. On social media like Twitter, many said the hourly rings of Big Ben are very important. “A silent Big Ben will be super strange,” tweeted Rob, a history student at King’s College who can hear the rings from his room. He called them the “sound of London.”
“It will be very sad, but it needs to be done,” said Kirsten Hurrell. The 71-year-old runs a busy newsstand facing the clock tower. “Quite honestly, we live with it and half the time we don’t hear it,” she said about the bell. “But we will miss it when we suddenly find it’s not there anymore.”
A selfie(自拍照) with the Great Clock atop Elizabeth Tower on the Thames River is almost required. The clock tower stands at one end of the Palace of Westminster, which holds England’s government, known as Parliament. It is also one of the most visited sites in London and Big Ben is the star.
The bell was created by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1859. It was the largest at the time of its first performance. In all these years, Big Ben went through good times and bad, which includes Germany’s eight-month bombing of London in World War II.
The hour bell has been silenced before, though. Big Ben cracked after its first few weeks. The striking hammer was too heavy. Workers changed a lighter hammer and Big Ben rang again three years later. Experts say the crack causes the unique but imperfect sound.
The bell was also silent during the funerals(葬禮) of Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.
During the repair, one side of the four clock faces will remain visible. An electric motor will turn the clock hands. People in London can continue to set their watches to the clock.
The clock keeper announced the clock would not be completely silenced during the repairs and would strike the hour for important national events, for example New Year’s Eve.
24. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Big Ben is the most important site in London.
B. The famous 158-year-old clock will get repairs.
C. Big Ben went through good times and bad times.
D. Londoners weren’t happy about the silence of the bell.
25. Why were Londoners not happy about the news?
A. It’ll cost a lot of money to repair Big Ben.
B. People will not hear the rings any longer.
C. They won’t get used to the missing of the rings.
D. The rings are the most important thing in their life.
26. Which statement describes the relationship tourists have with Big Ben?
A. Tourists visit Big Ben more than many other places.
B. Tourists plan on avoiding Big Ben when it stops ringing.
C. Tourists to London know about Big Ben but rarely visit it.
D. Tourists to London have little knowledge about Big Ben.
27. Which statement is true according to the text?
A. Big Ben has been silenced three times in history.
B. Big Ben will stop working during this 4 years’ repair.
C. Big Ben is the largest bell in the world as people know.
D. Big Ben is far from England’s government, the Parliament.

What if we had the power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future? What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine? What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased?
This ability would allow us to witness historic wonders, change decisions and see people from the past. We could right wrongs and stop wars from starting.
The mysterious puzzle of time has kept people debating its nature for hundreds of years. Science fiction writers have turned it into imaginative stories. Some scientists have even attempted to explain it using math. This math tries to make the dream of time travel come true.
The scientist Albert Einstein said that time and space are one thing. He called it “spacetime.” Einstein said that there are three dimensions in space: height, width and depth. A scientist named Hermann Minkowski added time as a fourth dimension.
Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel. The first is relativity. The idea of relativity is that the force of gravity causes space to bend, which causes time to twist. The second idea focuses on special relativity. The idea is that a traveler moving super-fast through flat spacetime will enter the future. Einstein considered time “relative” because it is measured based on where we are on Earth or in space.
Stephen Hawking is a famous scientist. He believes that a time machine will never be built. If it were possible, he thinks we would already know. If a time machine could be built, how come no one from the future has invaded us?
The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travelers backward and forward.
Will time travel ever happen? Who knows? Most important is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder.
28. The first paragraph is used to___________.
A. show time and space are connected.
B. show people’s interest in time travel.
C. draw readers’ attention to time travel.
D. make people believe time travel is possible.
29. Which of the following statement could Einstein agree with?
A. Time travel is possible in the future.
B. People can’t move faster than light.
C. Time travel is against scientific rules.
D. Spacetime is not a real thing in theory.
30. What is the last but one paragraph mainly about?
A. The first science fiction story.
B. Some tools used in time travel.
C. Edward P. Mitchell, the pioneer.
D. Different works about time travel.
31. What is the writer’s attitude toward time travel?
A. Cautious. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeful.

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
32. The underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most probably means “___________”.
A. make others unhappy
B. enjoy the pleasure of life
C. tend to please others openly
D. have a good taste with social life
33. We can conclude from the text that _______
A. we should pity all such unhappy people.
B. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness.
C. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life.
D. unhappy people cannot understand happy persons.
34. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests people should _______.
A. show no respect and politeness to them.
B. prevent any communication with them.
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects.
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes.
35. The purpose of the text is _______.
A. to describe two types of people in the world: happy and unhappy.
B. to laugh at unhappy people and let us avoid such kind of people.
C. to suggest unhappy people remove the habits of unhappiness.

Many of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts. However, the hard reality is that only a select few will make it. 36 Not necessarily.
In fact, some of the space jobs are not only for astronauts and they all sound just as cool. One of the most interesting space jobs that you may have never heard of is “chief sniffer(嗅探員)”. NASA has already hired a chief sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials before they are used in spacecrafts.
37 A spacecraft is of limited size and relatively high temperature, which makes smells stronger inside of it. “Once a spacecraft is launched, astronauts have no way of escaping unpleasant smells.” Aldrich told The Telegraph. More importantly, smelling objects can help identify dangerous chemicals that could threaten astronauts’ health.
Another job, the “space tour guide”, may seem a little ahead of its time - after all, what’s the point of hiring a tour guide when there aren’t any tourists there? But now, many private companies are starting to provide space trips, and wealthy space enthusiasts such as Justin Bieber and Sarah Brightman have already signed up for tours. 38
Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge of astronomy, astrophysics, geography and history to help passengers get the most out of their journey. 39
Astronauts often spend weeks or even months in a small capsule with the same group of people, which is why a “space psychologist” is also needed to help astronauts overcome mental challenges, like feeling bored and lonely.
Rohit Talwar, chief executive of US company Fast Future Research, said, “We’re crossing the boundaries(界限) between science fiction and reality. 40 ”
A. But does that mean you’ll never get the chance to work in space?
B. Modern astronauts feel less lonely and helpless when they work as a group.
C. There is almost no possibility that normal people will be able to afford space travel.
D. Things we’ve seen in the past in movies are now becoming real career opportunities.
E. Using your nose at work might sound a little strange, but the job is actually very important.
F. It may not be long before space becomes one of the top travel destinations for human beings.
G.Tour guides also need to be excellent storytellers to help experience the amazement of space travel.
