Many years passed and the lady was very successful in business. She owned two large companies. She realized her husband was very old, so she thought perhaps she should go to visit him. But before she could, she received a letter telling her that he had died, and gave all of his possessions (财产) to her. She needed to come back and take care of the things. When she arrived at his house, she was surprised to see the still new dictionary there, just as she had left it years before. With tears in her eyes, she opened it and began to turn the pages. A ring dropped from the dictionary to the floor and a card could be seen. She picked it up and found it was the ring she wanted in those days.

Young, creative, connected, global smart, maybe good-looking? But what do other people think about your generation? Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the phone than the world around you. They see you as the “face-down generation” and wonder how you will deal with school friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies (自拍) to become successful in real life or “IRL”, as you would say? Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoiled (宠坏) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to do everything for them. So today’s young people seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s. Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people volunteer to serve their communities than ever. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school. So if you are one of them born in the 2000s, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. 9. Why are young people born in the 2000s called “face-down generation”? A. Because they are always busy with homework with their heads down. B. Because they are not closely connected to the people around them. C. Because they show great interest in the phone and use it too much. D. Because they are not confident and feel shamed with themselves. 10. In the writer’s eyes, today’s teenagers ________. A. are not creative because of the educational problem. B. are willing to take part in many social activities. C. are smarter and more good-looking than their parents. D. are more successful and creative than their parents. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Parents should care more about their teenagers’ life and study. B. Mobile phones are harmful to teenagers’ growth and development. C. Teenagers don’t need to change themselves to meet adults’ standards. D. Though the young people have some problems, their future is full of hope. 【答案】9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们对出生在21世纪的孩子们的一些看法，有人认为他们沉迷手机，有人担心他们被宠坏，但作者认为他们是更有创造力和希望的一代人。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the phone than the world around you.”和“Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life”可知，他们对手机表现出极大的兴趣，并过度使用手机，所以被称为“低头族”。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数的二段的“The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to serve their communities.”可知，作者认为，当今许多青少年比过去几代人受过更好的教育，也更有创造力，他们似乎也愿意成为领导者，而且志愿为社区服务的年轻人比以往任何时候都多，选项B“愿意参加许多社会活动”符合语境。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了人们对出生在21世纪的孩子们的一些担忧的看法；但作者认为他们中许多人受到更好的教育、更有创造力、更愿意服务社会，是充满希望的一代。故选D。 （D） As the population in our country ages rapidly, we face great challenges (挑战). The good news is that there are many inventions to help the elderly. Smart water meter (水表) Community workers on Jiangsu Street in Shanghai have fixed smart water meters at the homes of elderly people living alone. The water meter will send an alarm to community workers if less than 0.01 m³ of water is used in 12 hours. That allows community workers to rush to check the situation of elderly people. One- click service telephone In Beijing’s Tongzhou District, community workers have fixed one- click service telephones for the elderly. With just a click on the phone, elderly people can call for help in an emergency (紧急情况). Ren Xiuzhen, an 80- year- old woman, said her husband is in poor health. With the one- click service telephone, she can call 120 very quickly if she or her husband is in need. Smart watch For 61- year- old Sha Ruifang, a smart watch helps a lot. It allows her to go out without worrying too much about an unexpected situation. Sha said once she was out with her family when she suddenly received a call from the smart elderly care control centre. They said they had discovered an unusual heartbeat (心跳) through the watch and asked her if she felt unwell. After going to the hospital, Sha was told that there was a problem with her heart. And as the problem was discovered early, she only needed to take some medicine. 12. What does the underlined word “alarm” mean in the passage? A. Medicine. B. Energy. C. Warning. D. Product. 13. How did the smart watch help Sha Ruifang? A. It called the doctor for her. B. It sent an alarm to her family. C. It gave her some medical advice. D. It helped her discover a heart problem. 14. The writer develops the passage by ________. A. giving examples B. raising questions C. offering suggestions D. comparing opinions 15. The writer wrote the passage mainly to ________ A. ask readers to care about the elderly B. show the development of technology in our country C. show how hard life is for the elderly D. introduce some smart inventions for the elderly 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了三款智能产品，在我国人口迅速老龄化背景下它们能够帮助老年人。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The water meter will send an alarm to community workers if less than 0.01 m³ of water is used in 12 hours.… rush to check the situation of elderly people.”可知，如果12小时内用水量少于0.01立方米，水表将向社区工作者发出警报，因此可推测“alarm”意为“警报”。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后两段内容可知，智能手表帮助莎瑞芳老人及时发现了她的心脏问题。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章介绍每款智能产品都会列举具体的实例来证明它们的好处，因此作者通过举例子的方式来展开文章。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，本文主要介绍了三款智能产品，在我国人口迅速老龄化背景下它们能够帮助老年人。因此可推知作者的写作目的是为了向老年人介绍几款智能产品。故选D。 Ⅲ. 完型填空（每小题1分，共10分） A rich man, interested in animals, asked a famous painter to draw him a cat.

Water safety begins at home or in the pool. Here are some suggestions for you. [2] Be careful of the hot water. Hot water can be dangerous, especially for kids under five.

You can reduce the risk by testing the water with your wrist (腕) or elbow before placing your kid in bath. [3] Watch out for danger in the bathroom. The bathroom is full of danger for young kids. Never leave a young child alone in the bathroom, especially while he or she is bathing. Remember to put away hair dryers and all other electrical appliances (家用电器) to avoid the risk. [4] Never let kids swim alone. Swimming in the water may make you feel great. As the kids move in the water, many small muscle (肌肉) groups are working to help them keep balance . But it’s not a perfect sport because of the risk of injury (伤害). For example, many types of swimming need repeated arm movements. Over time, the movements can cause shoulder and neck injuries. So it’s dangerous when they stay in the water alone, they may even drown (溺亡). So the kids are not supposed to swim ①________ their parents’ company (陪伴). [5] Everyone should realize the importance of water safety. To keep the kids safe, we need to learn more about what we should do. After all, everyone ②________ only one life! 46. 短语汉译英________________________________________ 47. Fill in each blank in the passage with one proper word. ①________ ②________ 48. Translate the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph into Chinese. 49. 补充本文主旨大意：Here is some ________ for you to remember water ________ 50. Why is it easier for young kids to be burnt? (No more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. pay attention 47. ①. without ②. has 48. 为了保证孩子们的安全，我们需要更多地了解我们应该做什么。 49. ①. suggestions ②. safety 50. Because they have thinner skin than older kids and adults. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了如何保证小孩在水里的安全问题。 【46题详解】 根据“So we must...(留心，注意) to the kids’ safety in water.”可知，空格处需要填空“留心，注意” 【47题详解】 第一空根据“So the kids are not supposed to swim...their parents’ company (陪伴).”可知，在没有家长的陪同下，孩子们不应该游泳，空格前填without“没有”符合语境；第二空根据“After all, everyone...only one life!”可知，每个人只有一次生命，have“有”，时态为一般现在时，主语是everyone，应用has。故填without；has。 【48题详解】 to“为了”；keep...safe“保持安全”；kids“孩子”；we“我们”；need to“需要”；learn more about“学习更多关于……”；what we should do“我们应该做什么”。故填：为了保证孩子们的安全，我们需要更多地了解我们应该做什么。 【49题详解】 根据文章内容可知，本文主要是一些用水安全的建议。故填suggestions；safety。 【50题详解】 根据“These young kids have thinner skin than older kids and adults, so it’s easier for them to be burnt.”可知，孩子更容易被烫伤的原因是孩子的皮肤比较娇嫩。故填Because they have thinner skin than older kids and adults.

On the morning of the birthday, her husband told her how proud he was to have such a good wife, and how much he loved her. He gave her a beautiful gift package (盒). She opened it and found a dictionary. She raised her voice and said to her husband, “With all your money, you give me a dictionary?” After that, she left him. Many years passed and the lady was very successful in business. She owned two large companies. She realized her husband was very old, so she thought perhaps she should go to visit him. But before she could, she received a letter telling her that he had died, and gave all of his possessions (财产) to her. She needed to come back and take care of the things. When she arrived at his house, she was surprised to see the still new dictionary there, just as she had left it years before. With tears in her eyes, she opened it and began to turn the pages. A ring dropped from the dictionary to the floor and a card could be seen. She picked it up and found it was the ring she wanted in those days. And on the card was the date of her birth, and the words “LOVE YOU ALWAYS”. Please remember sometimes the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, unless they are felt with your heart. 6. What was the wife always thirsty for before her birthday? A. A dictionary. B. A beautiful ring. C. All of her husband’s possessions. D. Two large companies. 7. What can we infer (推断) from the underlined sentence? A. The lady was satisfied with the dictionary. B. The lady was thankful to her husband. C. The lady was moved by what her husband said. D. The lady felt angry after seeing the dictionary. 8. What can we know from the text? A. The husband was too poor to pay for the ring. B. The husband loved his wife very much. C. The lady left her husband because of her business. D. The lady didn’t mind her husband’s death at all. （C） Born in the 2000s, what do you think of your generation? Young, creative, connected, global smart, maybe good-looking? But what do other people think about your generation? Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the phone than the world around you. They see you as the “face-down generation” and wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies (自拍) to become successful in real life or “IRL”, as you would say? Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoiled (宠坏) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to do everything for them. So today’s young people seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s. Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people volunteer to serve their communities than ever. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school. So if you are one of them born in the 2000s, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. 9. Why are young people born in the 2000s called “face-down generation”? A. Because they are always busy with homework with their heads down. B. Because they are not closely connected to the people around them. C Because they show great interest in the phone and use it too much. D. Because they are not confident and feel shamed with themselves. 10. In the writer’s eyes, today’s teenagers ________. A. are not creative because of the educational problem. B. are willing to take part in many social activities. C. are smarter and more good-looking than their parents. D. are more successful and creative than their parents. 11 What is the main idea of the passage? A. Parents should care more about their teenagers’ life and study. B. Mobile phones are harmful to teenagers’ growth and development. C. Teenagers don’t need to change themselves to meet adults’ standards. D. Though the young people have some problems, their future is full of hope. （D） As the population in our country ages rapidly, we face great challenges (挑战). The good news is that there are many inventions to help the elderly. Smart water meter (水表) Community workers on Jiangsu Street in Shanghai have fixed smart water meters at the homes of elderly people living alone. The water meter will send an alarm to community workers if less than 0.01 m³ of water is used in 12 hours. That allows community workers to rush to check the situation of elderly people. One- click service telephone In Beijing’s Tongzhou District, community workers have fixed one- click service telephones for the elderly. With just a click on the phone, elderly people can call for help in an emergency (紧急情况). Ren Xiuzhen, an 80- year- old woman, said her husband is in poor health. With the one- click service telephone, she can call 120 very quickly if she or her husband is in need. Smart watch For 61- year- old Sha Ruifang, a smart watch helps a lot. It allows her to go out without worrying too much about an unexpected situation. Sha said once she was out with her family when she suddenly received a call from the smart elderly care control centre. They said they had discovered an unusual heartbeat (心跳) through the watch and asked her if she felt unwell. After going to the hospital, Sha was told that there was a problem with her heart. And as the problem was discovered early, she only needed to take some medicine. 12. What does the underlined word “alarm” mean in the passage? A. Medicine. B. Energy. C. Warning. D. Product. 13. How did the smart watch help Sha Ruifang? A. It called the doctor for her. B. It sent an alarm to her family. C. It gave her some medical advice. D. It helped her discover a heart problem. 14. The writer develops the passage by ________. A. giving examples B. raising questions C. offering suggestions D. comparing opinions 15. The writer wrote the passage mainly to ________ A. ask readers to care about the elderly B. show the development of technology in our country C. show how hard life is for the elderly D. introduce some smart inventions for the elderly Ⅲ. 完型填空（每小题1分，共10分） A rich man, interested in animals, asked a famous painter to draw him a cat.

Ⅴ. 阅读还原（每小题2分，共10分） It is natural for young people to worship (崇拜) cool and good-looking young “idols (偶像)”.

Many of your idols are only made to “look” cool. If you could see into their private lives, you would find these stars aren’t so bright.

Then, one day, I discovered Leonard Cohen and Neil Young. ___38___ They wore no flashy clothes, and they had no screaming fans. They didn’t need to be flashy because their songs were great and meaningful. They told the truth: ___39___ Most of all, they taught me that it was okay if I was not popular and cool all of the time. I still listen to them today. Idols can serve as important role models in our lives, so it’s very important to choose the right ones.

Ⅵ. 阅读回答问题（每小题2分，共10分） Ten years ago, my husband and I took a summer holiday in Greece. On our last night, we didn’t want to stay with other tourists.
