W：Me too.There's not a cloud in the sky.What a treat this is after all that rain last week! Text 2 M：It's 7：00，and I have an early appointment.I need to go home now. W：Your appointment isn't until eight thirty.You can stay for another hour，can't you? M：Well，even so，I'll leave in half an hour.I need to prepare for it. W：OK. Text 3 M：Sarah，how about going to see a play tonight? W：Well，I was studying for a math exam all afternoon and I'm really tired.I'd better stay home and listen to light music. It helps me forget about all the stress. Text 4 M：Er，we'd both like the cream of mushroom soup，please. W：I'm afraid we've only got enough of that left for one serving，sir. Text 5 W：There's something interesting shown at the museum tomorrow. It's about Walt Disney and the story of how he started making cartoons. M：I haven't been to the museum for a long time.I think I will take my kids there.Thanks for letting me know. Text 6 W：I saw you were off school at the end of last week and someone said you were ill.What was the matter? M：Yes，I had a bad cough，a high fever and a stomachache，but fortunately that's gone now. W：So do you feel better today? M：I've still got a headache and I can't do much before I have a rest.Maybe it's because I wasn't eating properly until today. W：Good.Remember to keep warm and have plenty of water. Text 7 W：You look upset，John. M：Well，I'm broke.I tried to ask my boss for a pay raise but it didn't work.What am I going to do? W：If I were you，I'd get a job that pays more money. M：Oh，why didn't I think of that？Thanks，Lucy.But it doesn't help me now. W：Well，then，you'd better get a loan from the bank. M：No，I couldn't do that.I owe the banks too much already. W：Why don't you ask your parents？They'd help you. M：No.I'd rather sort out my problems on my own. W：Oh.Well，I suppose I could lend you some. M：Really？That would be great！Thanks，Lucy.You're a real mate.I'll pay it back，honest! Text 8 W：With me in the program is Police Inspector Neal Mitchell，who will tell us what we can do to protect our homes while we are out for the evening. M：Well，the first thing is that you should always make sure that your doors and windows are locked securely. W：That's true. M：Another good idea is to leave a light on in the house，but it's important to remember that thieves are not stupid.I know a lot of people who leave their hall light on，but are there many people who spend the evening sitting in the hall? W：Not many! M：Leave a light on where you would normally be，let's say, in the living room，or in the bedroom.That way it looks as though you were actually in the house. As an extra safety measure，you could leave the radio on，or the television.Don't leave it on too loud，though，or your neighbors won't be too happy—especially if you are late home! W：That's a good point! Text 9 W：So how can you ever know what is going on in cats' minds? M：Well，if a cat moves his head，that just means it wants to look at you，or something else. W：And what about cats that sit with their tails wrapped around them? M：It's usually a sign of the contented cat.And do you know cats often clean themselves with their tongues? W：Really？That's interesting.So what other body language do cats show? M：Oh，there are all sorts of things.If your cat is feeling confident or curious，his ears will point upwards and slightly forward.This will let him hear as much as possible. W：So，do you think cats can understand anything from our body language? M：I'm sure they can.Unlike dogs that listen carefully to the tone of your voice，cats actually watch your eyes. Text 10 M：Hello, everybody！Welcome to our In Shape Center and thank you for choosing our fitness center.My name is Edward Smith.I'm the manager of In Shape Center.I'm in the gym every day from 9：00 a．m. to 5：00 p．m.If you would like to see me at a different time, you can make an appointment with a trainer.Now I would like to introduce the services in our gym.There is a big classroom where we have different kinds of classes.There is a dance class on Tuesday morning and a tai chi class on Wednesday morning.There are also lots of running machines and weightlifting tools, but there aren't any bicycles and you can't play tennis.Besides，we also hold a new members' party.It is on the first Friday of every month.It starts at 7：00 p．m.There are healthy drinks served from 7：00 p．m. to 8：00 p．m.Finally, I wish you good luck and enjoy yourselves. 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Don't ignore the difference teenagers can make. John Michael Thomas，14，Florida When John Michael Thomas decided to honor his friend and classmate Elizabeth Buckley，who died from cancer，he remembered how much she loved peacocks (孔雀).He wanted to build a life-sized peacock fountain in Elizabeth's favorite park in the city in memory of his friend.He thought it could be a place for people to relax and be inspired. John Michael raised $52，000 to build the fountain. Barrett Smith，13，Utah The wheels began to turn for Barrett Smith when he heard about Karma Bike Shop，a place where young people can earn free bikes by reading and performing community service.Barrett visited Karma's owner with his idea：he would collect and repair used bikes and donate them to the shop. He expected to get about 10 donated bikes.In the end，Barrett received 39. Zachary Blohm，15，Wisconsin The 25-year-old playground at an elementary school near Milwaukee，Wis.，was so small that only 70 of its 575 students could play on it at a time.That's when Zachary Blohm saved the day (扭转局面).He and some volunteers wanted to build a huge playground.To raise money，Zachary planned T-shirt and bake sales，sold tickets and more.He held monthly money-raising events for more than a year.Overall，he collected $130，000—enough to finish his project. Jack Zimmerman，16，New Jersey For some people，finding a meal is as simple as opening the refrigerator.For more than 36，600 hungry kids in New Jersey，it's not that easy.That fact didn't sit well with Jack Zimmerman，who organized a drive to lessen childhood hunger in his state.His goal：create 40，000 packaged meals that could be donated to those in need. On game day，Jack and his volunteer started their work.After the final count，the team had packaged 47，124 meals—well above Jack's goal.

It all started when his parents bought him a set of painting tools for his 8th birthday.Once he had his own materials, he began spending much of his free time putting color on his canvas.As Arsh's paintings began to grow in number, he decided to give them as gifts to friends and family.Receiving a positive response from people around him, he soon realized his pieces had the potential to get much more than smiles and praise. His light-bulb moment came shortly after：he would sell his artwork and donate the money to charity.His first plan was to raise $1，000 for St.Jude Children's Research Hospital, which he accomplished in around nine months by selling his paintings on social media and at local art shows.Since then, he's broadened his reach to benefit other organizations, including childhood cancer nonprofit Compass to Care and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.He's raised over $16，000 for charities so far. Arsh's artwork is often colorful and cheery, as one might expect from a youngster, but it showcases the impressive technique of a gifted artist.Some pieces are more abstract in nature; others feature realistic renditions (演绎) of flowers and animals.They range in size and complexity, and, accordingly, price.Small paintings might sell for $10 while larger canvases, up to five feet, have gone for $800. Last year, Arsh won The Diana Award, an honor presented by a UK charity founded on Princess Diana's belief that young people have the power to change their country.And the young artist has advice for other kids looking to make a difference.“Helping others doesn't have to be, like, money or anything.It can be your time, your skills, your talent，” he says, “and overall, just be kind to other people to make their day better.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Arsh喜欢画画，并把自己的作品卖掉捐给慈善机构，获得了英国慈善机构颁发的荣誉。 24．What made Arsh interested in painting?

D．To help those people who are in need. 答案：D 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“His light-bulb moment came shortly after：he would sell his artwork and donate the money to charity.”可知，Arsh决定卖掉自己的画作是为了帮助有需要的人。故选D。 26．What can we learn about Arsh from the text? A．His fundraising plan is going well. B．He will turn his attention to his studies. C．All his paintings sell at high prices now. D．He is going to teach other children to paint for free. 答案：A 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“His first plan was to raise $1，000 for St.Jude Children's Research Hospital, which he accomplished in around nine months by selling his paintings on social media and at local art shows.Since then, he's broadened his reach to benefit other organizations, including childhood cancer nonprofit Compass to Care and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.He's raised over $16，000 for charities so far.”可推知，Arsh的筹资计划进展顺利。故选A。 27．What does Arsh want to say in the last paragraph? A．Every child has a unique talent. B．Everyone has the ability to help others. C．Talent plays an important role in learning art. D．Helping others is the responsibility of young artists. 答案：B 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘Helping others doesn't have to be, like, money or anything.It can be your time, your skills, your talent，’ he says, ‘and overall, just be kind to other people to make their day better.’”可知，Arsh说帮助别人不一定要用金钱或其他东西，只是善待别人，就可以让他人的一天更美好。由此推知，他的意思是每个人都有帮助别人的能力。故选B。 C As technology is developing rapidly, we can actually build VR headsets that meet high requirements. The interest in VR rises, so does the interest in creating new media to be experienced in using VR. Journalism is a medium built on relevance. Journalists are always finding new means to tell stories and report news. It is a goldmine for storytelling. What better ways to tell a story to someone than to put them right in the center of it? People are already making use of VR in news. Creative director Spike Jonze and visual artist Chris Milk put viewers at the scene of the Millions March protest in New York in December, 2014. The University of Southern California created “Project Syria”， which allows viewers to experience the bombing of a crowded neighborhood and visit a refugee camp in the war-torn country. These are just a few examples of a growing number of projects that are out there. VR is a powerful tool for journalists. The consumer isn't just reading or watching something play out; they're experiencing it. The immersive (沉浸式的) nature of VR allows people to connect with the subject matter on a much deeper level than just reading about it. The experience is emotional, speaking more to our instinct (本能) than our intellect (智力). There are a wide range of possibilities for storytelling here, and any storyteller wanting to do something more interesting than their peers should surely be considering the sheer power of VR. The question of VR, though, is not how powerful it is. That is obvious. The question of VR is one of viability (可行性) and availability. Telling stories must be easy to do, and access to those stories must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces. If the tools to tell a story with VR aren't easy to pick up and learn, VR will fail. If VR technology isn't both top-of-the-line and affordable, VR will fail. “I think that current VR technology is pretty exclusive right now, but it's very promising that it will not be a problem in the long run，” said Thomas Hallaq, assistant professor of journalism and mass communications. “We're seeing more technology become accessible, and more people having access to that technology. Just look at smartphones.” If the technology is widely available and companies can overcome the inherent difficulties, VR will succeed in being a desirable means of storytelling. Like radio, TV and the Internet before it, VR will change the way we tell stories. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了虚拟现实技术在报道新闻故事方面的作用以及它未来的发展前景。 28．Why is VR considered a powerful tool for journalism? A．Because it is a medium built on relevance. B．Because it is very popular and interesting. C．Because it allows people to experience the news personally. D．Because it is an exclusively new tool in telling news stories. 答案：C 28 29 30 31 28 29 30 31 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“VR is a powerful tool for journalists. The consumer isn't just reading or watching something play out; they're experiencing it. The immersive nature of VR allows people to connect with the subject matter on a much deeper level than just reading about it. The experience is emotional, speaking more to our instinct than our intellect.”可知，虚拟现实被认为是新闻的强大工具是因为它能让人们亲身体验新闻。 29．According to the text, what is the biggest challenge VR is facing? A．Whether it is easily accessible to people. B．How powerful and interesting it can be. C．Whether qualified VR headsets can be built. D．What new ways people will find to report news. 答案：A 28 29 30 31 28 29 30 31 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中“The question of VR is one of viability and availability. Telling stories must be easy to do, and access to those stories must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces.” 可知，虚拟现实面临的最大挑战是：它是否容易被人们使用。 30．What's the author's attitude towards the future of VR technology? A．Neutral.　　　　　　 B．Positive. C．Negative. D．Concerned. 答案：B 28 29 30 31 28 29 30 31 解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段内容可推知，作者对VR技术的未来持积极乐观的态度。 31．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．The Challenges of Virtual Reality B．The Wide Popularity of Virtual Reality C．The Future of Storytelling—Virtual Reality D．The Development of Virtual Reality in the Future 答案：C 28 29 30 31 28 29 30 31 解析：标题归纳题。根据第一段中“Journalists are always finding new means to tell stories and report news. It is a goldmine for storytelling. What better ways to tell a story to someone than to put them right in the center of it？”以及最后一段中“Like radio, TV and the Internet before it, VR will change the way we tell stories.”可知，文章主要讲的是虚拟现实技术在报道方面的作用以及它的未来发展前景。故文章最好的标题是“讲故事的未来——虚拟现实”。 D With low temperatures and a lack of food，winter is a hard season for animals.Many animals enter hibernation to get through it. Hibernation is when an animal goes into a state of continuous inactivity.Animals hide away from natural enemies.Their metabolism will slow to less than a quarter of its normal rate.This cools the creature's body and slows its heartbeat to just a few times per minute，for up to months at a time. But why don't humans hibernate? Human hibernation doesn't exist for many reasons.Our body is not designed for hibernation.Our ancestors were tropical animals with no history of hibernating.Humans have only settled in temperate areas and the areas near the North Pole in the last hundred thousand years or so.That's not quite long enough to evolve all the adaptations we would need to be able to hibernate，according to the BBC Science Focus Magazine. For example，waste management is a huge challenge for human hibernation.Animals that hibernate are able to basically stop their urination during hibernation，since animals can reabsorb the waste their bodies produce during hibernation.Unfortunately，humans can't do this. There are other challenges.Body temperatures below 2.8℃ tend to damage the human digesting organs and may cause pain.Cold temperatures can also destroy the immune system，leaving the body wide open to infections，according to Smithsonian Magazine. In fact，humans don't need to hibernate through winter.We have discovered fire，clothes，shelter，hunting and agriculture，all of which are much more effective ways of surviving the cold. Could humans hibernate in the future? For long-distance space travel，it's likely.A journey to Mars would take months with the technology we have mastered.If we hope to visit another star system，even if we could travel at the speed of light，the journey would take years.Being able to hibernate would make such distances considerably less boring for the astronauts and save key resources，according to the University of Oxford in the U．K. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。大自然中许多动物冬眠，人为什么不冬眠呢？文章就人类不冬眠的原因展开了说明。 32．What will happen in animal bodies during hibernation? A．Their metabolism will speed up. B．There will be a drop in body temperature. C．The heart will beat faster. D．Their urination will continue as usual. 答案：B 32 33 34 35 32 33 34 35 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“Their metabolism will slow to...for up to months at a time.”可知，动物在冬眠期间新陈代谢速度下降，心跳减慢，体温下降。 33．Which is NOT the reason why humans don't hibernate according to the text? A．Humans evolved from tropical animals with no history of hibernating. B．Our body can't function properly with body temperatures lower than normal. C．Our body can't manage its waste as animals do during hibernation. D．There is no need for humans to sleep in winter. 答案：D 32 33 34 35 32 33 34 35 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“Our ancestors were tropical animals with no history of hibernating.”和第四段中“Animals that hibernate are able to basically stop their urination...humans can't do this.”以及第五段中“Body temperatures below 2.8℃ tend to damage...according to Smithsonian Magazine.”可知，D项“人类没有必要在冬天睡觉”不属于人类不冬眠的原因之一。 34．What will most probably be talked about in the next paragraph of the text? A．Human's research in making astronauts hibernate for long-distance space travel. B．Human's future exploration of Mars and other star systems. C．The technology humans have already mastered in long-distance space travel. D．The distance that astronauts will need to travel in future space exploration. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 32 33 34 35 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Being able to hibernate would make such distances considerably less boring for the astronauts and save key resources，according to the University of Oxford in the U．K.”可推知，下一段可能会探讨在太空探索中让航天员进入冬眠状态的研究。 35．What is the best title for the text? A．Why Do Animals Hibernate? B．How Do Humans Spend Winters? C．Why Don't Humans Hibernate? D．Will Humans Hibernate in the Future? 答案：C 32 33 34 35 32 33 34 35 解析：标题归纳题。根据第三段中“But why don't humans hibernate? Human hibernation doesn't exist for many reasons.”并结合文章对人类不冬眠的原因的说明可知，C选项“为什么人类不冬眠？”是最合适的文章标题。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In our day-to-day lives it's very difficult to be honest 100% of the time.Every day，we are faced with situations where we have the choice to either tell the truth or lie. 36 Telling a “white lie” may often seem a better choice.However，the benefits of telling the truth are actually much greater than any short-term advantages of lying.Here are some major benefits of always telling the truth. You don't have to remember your lies. Once you have told a lie，you need to remember that lie so as not to contradict (反驳) yourself in the future.This can create a state of anxiety.You worry about being in a situation where you could be “found out”．If you never lie，you don't need to worry about your lies being discovered. 37 You'll create deeper connections with people. Telling the truth shows a willingness to openly express your feelings and thoughts. 38 They will be honest with you，too.When both of you show your true selves，friendships and relationships will be deepened naturally. You will be more courageous. People need courage to tell some facts.Courage is not the absence of fear. 39 It is often difficult and takes practice and patience at first.However，as telling the truth becomes your habit，it will help you develop courage to face difficult times. 40 If a co-worker knows that you are not always honest，he/she will not trust you and will be guarded in his/her dealings with you.But if your co-worker believes you are an honest person and can be trusted，friendship，information and chances will come to you naturally.

The author used this story to impress upon readers the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community. The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose, and I liked it because it had a clear moral. While the moral of the story is clear, the actions of the king seem pointless to me, because not every one of the characters in the story learnt something. For this reason, I think there are better stories that can be used to impress upon people the need for personal responsibility. 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The concept of the comfort zone refers to a psychological state in which we feel safe and do not experience anxiety or fear.It is a “space” that we know completely and in which we control almost everything. Your comfort zone represents things you're familiar with, your regular haunts, friends you're at ease with, and activities you love doing.Your comfort zone is risk-free.It's easy.It doesn't cause you to stretch.Within these boundaries, we feel safe and secure. During my senior year in college, I was short of a few credits, and so I skimmed through the class schedule looking for something to fill the hours.When I came across “Private Voice Instruction”， as in singing lessons, I thought, “Why not step outside my comfort zone and give it a try？” I was careful to sign up for private lessons instead of group lessons because I didn't want to make a fool of myself by singing in front of other students. Things went fine until the end of the semester when my singing professor brought the shocking news.“By the way, Sean, have you decided which song you want to sing at the recital？” “What do you mean？” I asked in horror. “Well, the class requirements state that you have to sing at least one time in front of the other private voice students.” “That would not be a good idea，” I said emphatically. “Oh, it's no big deal.You'll do fine.” Well, to me it was a huge deal.The thought of singing in front of a group made me physically sick.“How am I going to get out of this one？” I thought.But I couldn't allow myself to do that because I had been speaking to various groups over the past year advising them to never let fears make their decisions.Now...I was up to bat. “Courage, Sean.” I kept rehearsing in my mind.“You've got to at least try.” 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 That frightening day finally arrived.__________________________ I left the classroom as if a heavy load had been lifted.____________ __________________________________________________________ [参考范文] That frightening day finally arrived.As I entered the classroom, I kept trying to convince myself, “Just cheer up, OK? This can't be that bad.” Now it was my turn.As I stood in front of the class, which was far away from my comfort zone, I kept repeating to myself, “Courage! Relax! Take it easy! Just perform your best！” It turned out that I did such a great job that all the students applauded my performance warmly. I left the classroom as if a heavy load had been lifted.Although that experience nearly killed me, I felt a great sense of personal accomplishment on my way home.I was so proud of myself and I frankly didn't care what anyone else thought about my performance.What really mattered was that I had survived.Stepping out of your comfort zone will never be easy, but afterward you'll always be glad you did it. $$
