In years past, I remember the deep, earths smell that would rise up in our house after my mother had made her weekly watering rounds. Back then, I never connected it with the care taking that was at the foundation (基础) of everything she did. But now, leaves were dropping, some dry and edged with brown, and many of the stems bare (光秃秃的). It was a mark of how my mother is no longer able to care for all the things to which she lovingly attended. I had been so focused on the increasing demands (要求) of her own care that her beloved plants had escaped my notice. I began her old rounds, pouring water into the thirsty soil (土壤), and soon they thrived. That’s the thing about house plants: They demand nothing. They wait quietly, no matter how thirsty they are. But even after my best attempts some of the plants could not be revived (复活). My mother’s kind caregivers have since brought new ones to add to her collection, and my father buys fresh flowers every week at the fruit and vegetable market. Even as Alzheimer’s steals so much of her moment-to-moment memory, her desire to care is still there. I would guide her down the steps to water one of the plants herself with her little white watering can. I watched as her trembling (颤抖的) hands plucked (摘) the leaves that had turned brown. Each time, she smiled up at me with deep satisfaction because being able to care for something is still what brings her the greatest joy. I look at plants differently these days. I see them as my mother does: quiet reminders of the need for kindness toward all living things. It is clear to me that the things we spend a lifetime cultivating (培养) are never truly lost; the love she has planted in me still blooms. 29. Why did the plants in the author’s house begin to dip? A. They were attacked by a disease. B. The author paid no attention to them. C. The author’s mom didn’t like them any more. D. The author was not good at caring for them. 30. How did the author revive the dying plants? A. By watering them regularly. B. By plucking the brown leaves. C. By moving them out of the house. D. By asking a gardener for help. 31. What brings the greatest joy to the author’s mother? A. Memories of the past. B. Her caregivers’ help. C. Showing her kindness and care. D. New plants bought by her husband. 32. What message does the author want to convey with the article? A. We should always care for our family. B. Alzheimer’s has a huge impact on people. C. Plants can bring us satisfaction. D. Small acts of kindness are powerful. C The pirates (海盗) did not return. After lunch, the doctor took his pistol (手枪) and sword. He put the map in his pocket and left. He wanted to find Ben Gunn. It was very bat and unpleasant inside the fort. I had a plan and I needed to leave the foal. I took two pistols and left quickly when Gray and the square were with the captain. First I ran down to the white rocks and looked for Ben Gunn’s boat. I soon found it under bushes. It was a simple boat, made out of branches and goat skins, and it was very light to carry. I decided to wait until it was dark and row to the Hispaniola. I wanted to cut the ship adrift (漂流), leaving it to float with the currents (洋流). As I waited, I could see the pirates fire burning, and out on the watch the lights on the ship. As soon as it was dark, I got into the boat and rowed out to the Hispaniola. I found the rope that connected the ship to the anchor (锚) and cut through it with my knife until the ship was free. As I did this, I could hear the angry voices of Israel Hands and another mutineer (叛变者) in a cabin above me. The ship began to move away in the night air. By then I was so tired that I fell asleep and dreamed of home and the admirel Benbow. When I awoke, I found myself at the south-west end of Treasure Island. I was only about 300 metres from the shore. When I lay quietly in the bottom of the boat, it moved perfectly over the watch. But as soon as I sat up, the boat went out of control. So I lay down, and used the paddle from that position. I moved slowly closer to the land, but the current was strong and the boat moved past the bay (海湾). I moved slowly to the next bay, and suddenly I saw the Hispaniola in front of me. The wind and the currents were moving the ship. I couldn’t see anyone on it. As soon as I was close enough, I held a rope and climbed on board. Just in time, as my little boat hit against the side of the ship and it sank under the water. I climbed to safety on the deck, realizing that my only way of escaping—my little boat—was lost. —Adapted from Treasure Island 33. What was Ben Gunn’s boat made out of? A wood and steel B. branches and goat’s skins C. sticks and feathers D. bamboo and leaves 34. Why did I row the boat to the Hispaniola? A. To find Ben guns. B. To leave the island alone. C. To climb on board. D. To find the ship’s rope and cut it. 35. Ben Gunn’s boat was important to me, because ______. A. I could escape by rowing it B. I put a lot of goods and materials on it C. could use it to fight against the pirates D. I left a treasure map on it 36. From the passage, we can learn that ______. A. the private made a fire on the ship B the boat was too heavy to carry C. I left with two pistols when Gray and the doctor were with the captain D The wind and the currents made the ship move away. D A new font(字体) designed by a Finnish software company could make your writing more polite and hopefully reduce cyberbullying(网络暴力). Polite Type, developed by TietoEVRY, replaces harmful language with nicer words as you type. For example, if you type “you are ugly”, it will be replaced with “you are not traditionally beautiful”. “We want bullies(欺凌者) to rethink the words they use and the actual meaning behind them,” said company manager Kia Haring. The problem of cyberbullying has been around since the internet was invented. Nearly everyone who has used the internet has experienced it, or at least seen it in action. Polite Type is a good step in the right direction. But how do we really deal with cyberbullying? For one, we can choose to be “invisible (隐形的)”—that is, to surf the internet without making any profiles (个人资料) or leaving any comments(评论). This, however, isn’t a real solution, as it forces us to give up our right to “exist (存在)” online. We can also choose to simply take no notice of bullies. However, this isn’t perfect either, as it can be hard to forget people who are especially cruel (残酷的). A better solution could be to block and report. If you block someone on social media, they won’t be able to see or comment on your posts. Most websites have rules against harmful language if you report a bully’s profile to the website, they will often stop that person from using the website. Sometimes direct action like this is the best action to take. 37．What is Polite Type? A．A Finnish software company. B．A kind of cyberbullying. C．A new font that can rewrite hurtful words. D．An organization that deals with bullies. 38．What does Haring mean in Paragraph 3? A．Bullies usually don’t have a good education. B．Bullies often use polite words to chat online. C．Bullies should rethink what they are doing. D．Bullies should express their opinions clearly. 39．What are the last three paragraphs about? A．How cyberbullying affects our life. B．What we can do to deal with cyberbullying. C．How Polite Type can protect us from bullying. D．What rules websites should make to stop bullies. 40．What is the author’s opinion on cyberbullying? A．It is a new problem. B．It happens to everyone at least once. C．There is no effective solution for it. D．Taking direct action against it is best. 第二节：阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. 41 . Create an interest in what they learn. Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active. 42 . Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programmes in English. This way they will not get bored. 43 Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practise more. Remember, “use it or lose it”! Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. Good learners are also not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes. Develop their study skills. It is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. 44 For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. Good learners also look for ways to review what they have learned. Ask questions. Good learners often ask questions during or after class. 45 Knowledge comes from questioning. A. Practice makes perfect. B. Practise and learn from mistakes. C. Good learners find out the best ways to learn well. D. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. E. And it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. F. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common. G.How can we form good learning habits？ 41._____________42.____________43._____________44._____________45.________________ 四、首字母填空（10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据各题所给首字母的提示，写出一个合适的英语单词完整正确的形式，使短文通顺。 Can you play xiangqi? 39 players took part in the game at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou.

Now it’s almost as popular as tai chi in China. You can find many people practising Baduanjin in parks. In the past, people thought Baduanjin was a sport for the old. But today many young people are interested in it, too. Why? Well, it’s easy to prastise. You don’t need any equipment. You don’t need much space, either. And best of all, it doesn’t take much time. That is why it is popular with office workers. Most of them always spend long hours sitting at a desk or working on a computer, so they seldom have much time to exercise. “Baduanjin is great exercise,” a young man said, “Four months ago, I couldn’t sleep well at night. Then I took someone’s advice and started to practise Baduanjin every morning. I found it really helpful. Now I can sleep well.” Baduanjin is also getting popular in other countries. Liu Jianan, a Chinese teacher, teaches Baduanjin in a school in the Middle East. Many students like his class. If you want to keep healthy, why not give Baduanjin a try? It is good for your body and mind. But not all people can practise it. People should always put safety first when doing Baduanjin. 66．Why are many young people interested in Baduanjin today? 67．When did the young man start to practise Baduanjin according to paragraph 3? 68．In which country does Liu Jianan teach Baduanjin in a school? 69．What should people always put first when doing Baduanjin? 70．List one way to help you keep healthy. 七、书面表达（25分） 71. 随着现代科技的发展，机器人已经来到我们身边，给人们的生活带来便利。请根据下表所述内容，介绍家用机器人的基本情况，并就如何更好地利用机器人为我们服务提出建议。 简介 家用机器人外观时尚，使用范围广泛，受到人们的欢迎。 主要功能 1. 煮饭、打扫房间；2. 照顾、陪伴老人；3. 拨打电话处理紧急事件，拯救生命。 存在问题 1. 技术不够成熟，存在安全隐患；2. 价格偏高，普通家庭消费不起。 你的建议 ……（至少两点） 要求： 1. 表达清楚，语法正确，上下文连贯； 2. 必须包括表格中所有的相关信息，并适当发挥； 3. 词数100左右（文章的开头已给出，不计入总词数）； 4. 不得使用真实姓名、校名和地名等。 参考词汇：家用机器人 household robots, 紧急事件 emergency With the development of modern science and technology, robots have entered our lives, which brings great convenience to us. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
