A. a cinematic turkey B. in its own right C. tick all the right boxes D. on their edge of their seat 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查习语辨析。句意：最近改编的《红楼梦》让人如坐针毡。A. a cinematic turkey烂电影；B. in its own right本身，就其本身而言；C. tick all the right boxes一切顺利；D. on their edge of their seat坐立不安，紧张。由“The recently adapted version of Dream of the Red Chamber made people”可知，句子表示“最近改编的《红楼梦》让人如坐针毡”，空格处意为“坐立不安”。故选D。 3.

A. to prevent; to be B. to prevent; from being C. to preventing; to be D. to preventing; from being 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】试题分析：句意：为了过上幸福的生活，他下定决心一生致力于防止污染。第一空的to，用来构成固定搭配devote ... to ... 把……奉献给……此处to是介词。－－所以prevent要用ing形式，第二空to live 不定式作目的状语，注意：此处不是prevent... (from) doing sth 阻止……作某事。选D。 考点：考查动名词和不定式 5. Many natural disasters took place across the country ________severe losses on people’s life and property. A. to have brought B. to bring C. bringing D. having brought 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：全国发生了许多自然灾害，给人民的生命财产带来了严重损失。句中已有谓语动词took place，所以空格处应用非谓语动词，bring“带来”与逻辑主语Many natural disasters之间是主动关系，所以应用现在分词，作状语。having brought强调动作发生在谓语动词之前，即先带来损失，然后自然灾害才发生，这与句子的逻辑不符。故选C。 6.

A. campaign B. extinction C. absence D. advance 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：目前，由于一直没有关于失联飞机的任何线索，搜救队承受着巨大的压力。A. campaign运动；B. extinction灭绝；C. absence缺乏；D. advance前进。根据句意可知，此处为名词absence“缺乏”，满足句意要求。故选C项。 7.

A. that B. when C. where D. which 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我们生活在一个信息时代，互联网在我们的生活中扮演着重要的角色。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词an information age，先行词在定语从句中作时间状语，所以用关系副词when引导。故选B。 8. She was grateful________ George ________all _________ he had done. A. to; for; what B. to; for; that C. for; to; that D. for; to; what 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句式和定语从句。句意：对于George做的所有事情，她非常感激。be grateful to sb. for sth.意为“因为某事对某人心怀感激”。第三空引导定语从句，先行词是all，代替先行词作为动词done的宾语，只能用关系代词that。故选B项。 9. ________on a novel written by Robert James Waller, the film The bridges of Madison Country has been popular all the time. A. To base B. To be based C. Basing D. Based 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：电影《麦迪逊之桥》一直很受欢迎，它是根据罗伯特·詹姆斯·沃勒的小说改编的。base sth on/upon sth“使建立在……基础上”。本句谓语为has been，此处为非谓语动词，且the film与base为被动关系，应用过去分词Based，作状语。故选D。 10.

A. that B. which C. who D. where 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我们的英语老师告诉我们要养成每天阅读的习惯，这从长远来看对我们有益。分析句子可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整句话在从句中作主语，所以为关系代词which引导。故选B项。 11. ________ for two days, Steve managed to finish his report on schedule. A. Working B. To work C. Having worked D. Worked 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：工作了两天之后，Steve尽力按期完成他的报道。此处与主语Steve是逻辑主谓关系，并不表目的和将来，应用现在分词，work发生在谓语动作之前，应用现在分词的完成式。故选C。 12.

A. for which B. on which C. to which D. from which 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我想参观这个文化景观，它在2016年被联合国教科文组织评为世界遗产。设空处使用“介词+关系代词”的结构引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词landscape，指物，应用关系代词which，且sth. be given to为固定搭配，表示“某物被给予……”，所以介词应用to。故选C项。 13.

Lucy had to shout ________on the noisy street. A. making herself hear B. to make herself hear C. making herself heard D. to make herself heard 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：由于大街太吵闹，Lucy不得不大喊为了让自己被听见。首先用不定式作目的状语，make后的宾语herself与hear之间是动宾关系，hear应使用过去分词，作宾语补足语，构成“make+宾语+宾语补足语”结构。故选D。 16.

A. which B. why C. where D. what 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：很多大学生都想找一个领域，在那里他们可以发现和实现自己的潜力。此处是限定性定语从句，先行词是field，关系词在从句作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。故选C。 17. —I guess you want to go play tennis. —__________.

We really appreciate your assistance. A. Every little helps B. It’s better to give than to receive C. The more, the better D. The best things come in small packages 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查交际用语。句意：——恐怕这次我只能做一点小小的贡献了。——涓涓细流汇成河。我们真的感谢你的帮助。A. Every little helps涓涓细流汇成河；B. It’s better to give than to receive付出比获取要好；C. The more, the better越多越好；D. The best things come in small packages好事多磨。根据句中的make a small contribution可知，“我”的贡献很小，即使如此对方对“我”的帮助还是很感激的，因为Every little helps(涓涓细流汇成河)。故选A。 19. A student will be immediately punished if he was found ________in the exam. A. cheating B. cheated C. to cheat D. cheats 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：如果发现学生在考试中作弊，他将立即受到惩罚。主语he和cheat是主动关系，且表示动作正在进行，用现在分词做主补，故选A。 20.

A. as if B. ever since C. even if D. only if 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查连词词义辨析。句意：约翰下定决心要弄到一张看足球比赛的票，即使这意味着要整夜排队。A. as if好像；B. ever since从那时起一直；C. even if即使；D. only if只有在……的情况下才能。引导让步状语从句，表示“即使”应用even if。故选C。 21.

A. develop B. developed C. developing D. to develop 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：经过无数的努力，发明家很满意地看到许多新产品被开发出来。此处products和develop之间是一种被动关系，用过去分词作宾语补足语，故选B。 23. ________ you have begun to do this work, you should be devoted to it heart and soul.

As long as只要。空格处应表达“既然”，引导原因状语从句，用Now that，常用于描述一种新出现的情况或信息，这种新情况对主句中的动作或状态产生了影响。For用来补充说明前面句子所发生事情的原因或理由，一般不是导致行为发生的直接原因，而是一种附带理由的说明。故选C。 24.

A. to deal B. deal C. dealing D. to dealing 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：你能给我一些建议，告诉我处理这类问题的最好方法吗？此处是固定搭配：way to do sth.意为“做某事的方法”，不定式作后置定语。故选A项。 25. The rules of the club don’t ________.

Our funds mainly come from public donations. A healthy curiosity for learning is the most important quality for early childhood development. We aim at offering high quality developmentally age-appropriate activities for early childhood, the most critical time of child development, so that they can do better after they start formal schooling. Hours of Operation Child care will be provided for the child from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday (except for holidays). Children may not arrive before 7:00 am or remain after 6:00 pm. Should an emergency arises, the parent should immediately make us know in consideration of our work arrangements. A late charge of $1.00 per minute will be assessed if the child is not picked up by 6:05 pm. Charges for these services are to be paid directly to the staff person that has been looking after your child until your arrival; not to the center. Failure to pay late charges may affect continued services with the center. Parking Dropping off and picking up your child can be made from the two main areas Spring Street and Seventh Street. Parking is free for parents coming to visit their children in our center. Please do not leave your purse or valuables in your car and be sure to lock your vehicle. Tuition (学费) When it has been confirmed that a position is available for your child, you must pay a registration (注册) fee of $200 per child. The weekly tuition fee is $98.00. You can make payments either by credit card or in cash on Monday every week. If your payment is not made by Tuesday at 9:00 am, you will be charged a $25.00 late fee.

(未来之星成立于1988年，是一家非营利性儿童发展服务中心，致力于在充满爱心和教育的环境中为6周至6岁的儿童提供优质的儿童保育服务)”可推知，未来之星服务中心是为那些学龄前儿童设计的。故选B项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hours of Operation部分的“Child care will be provided for the child from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday (except for holidays). (周一至周五上午7:00至下午6:00（节假日除外）将为儿童提供托儿服务)”可知，节假日不提供服务，B项表述不正确。故选B项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据部分Hours of Operation部分的“Should an emergency arises, the parent should immediately make us know in consideration of our work arrangements. (如果出现紧急情况，考虑到我们的工作安排，家长应立即通知我们)”可知，如果晚点接孩子则需要马上通知他们。故选C项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tuition (学费)部分的“When it has been confirmed that a position is available for your child, you must pay a registration (注册) fee of $200 per child.

The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same tome. In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong. In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character. The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. Ultinatel was Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word. 51. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy? A. To invite authors to guide readers. B. To encourage people to read and share. C. To involve people in community service. D. To promote the friendship between cities. 52. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project? A. They had little interest in reading. B. They were too busy to read a book. C. They came from many different backgrounds D. They lacked support from the local government 53. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out? A. In large communities with little sense of unity B. In large cities where libraries are far from home C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached 54. The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean A. exchanged ideas with each other B. discussed the meaning of a word C. gamed life experience D. used the same language 55. According to Nacy, the degree of students of the project is judged by A. the careful selection of a proper book B the growing popularity of the writers C. the number of people who benefit from reading. D. the number of books that each person reads. 【答案】51. B 52. C 53. D 54. A 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了美国一些城市实施的“同读一本书”活动，这项活动旨在鼓励人们互相分享阅读的想法，并享受阅读的过程。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.”（同时促进阅读作为一种经验，在家庭和学校分享）可知，南希发起这个项目的目的是鼓励人们阅读和分享。故选B项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The only problem arose in New York ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.”（唯一的问题出现在纽约，当地的读者无法选择一本书来代表庞大而多样化的人口）可知，为什么纽约人很难实施这个项目是因为他们来自不同的背景。故选C项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .”（这可能表明，这个想法在中型城市或大城镇效果最好，在那里可以实现更大的团结感）可知，根据文章，该项目在在能很快达成协议的大城镇答案更容易实施。故选D项。 【54题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文“Ultinatel was Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process”阅读不仅要互相分享阅读的想法，还要享受分享阅读的过程。由otherwise可以看出shared a word是指前者，互相分享阅读的想法。故选A项。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ultinatel was Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.”（南希最后指出，衡量成功程度的标准不是有多少人读了一本书，而是有多少人在这个过程中变得富有，或者喜欢与他们不会与之交谈的人交谈。）可知，南希表示，该项目的学生程度是根据从阅读中受益的人数来判断的。故选C项。 C Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable. In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them. In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors. Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination. Study you role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server you. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering on.” 56. Imitation proves useful when you . A. know you are unique B. lose the balance of life C. begin to learn something new D. get tired of routine practice 57. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should . A. forget daily fear and pain B. choose the right example C. ask others for decisions D. stay away from stars 58. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are . A. desperate to influence others with their knowledge B. ready to turn their original ideas into reality C. eager to discover what their ancestors did D. willing to accept others' ideas 59. The trouble a creator faces is . A. the lack of strong motivation B. the absence of practical ideas C. how to search for more materials D. how to use imagination creatively 60. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A. To highlight the importance of creatively. B. To criticize the characters of role models. C. To compare imitation with creation. D. To explain the meaning of success. 【答案】56. C 57. B 58. B 59. D 60. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了要创新，不要盲目模仿。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful.(在技能或性格发展的早期阶段，模仿是有帮助的)”以及所举的例子可知，当你开始学习新东西时，模仿被证明是有用的。故选C。 【57题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.(作为一个孩子，如果你观察那些生活很糟糕的人，你可能会接受他们的恐惧和痛苦，并继续追随他们的所作所为。如果你不为自己做出强有力的选择，你将会得到别人软弱选择的结果。在娱乐领域，我们的文化美化名人。那些明星在银幕上看起来很棒。但当他们走出屏幕，他们的个人生活可能是灾难性的。如果你要追随某人，关注他们的才能，而不是他们的坏性格或不可接受的行为)”可知，人们选择不好的榜样时，就会使模仿的结果变坏。由此推知，为了避免模仿的不良后果，我们应该选择正确的榜样。故选B。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration not desperation. (有福的人是愿意按照他们突然的渴望去创造一些独特的东西。想想那些对你影响最深的电影、书籍、老师和朋友。他们之所以能够打动你是因为他们的创作是基于灵感而不是绝望)”可知，根据作者的观点，世界因为那些准备把他们的原始想法变成现实的人而前进。故选B。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.(有创造力的人有无穷无尽的想法。创作者面临的问题不是没有素材；它是关于如何处理敲着想象之门的材料)”可知，创造者面临的问题是如何创造性地运用想象力。故选D。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.(盲目模仿是自我毁灭。对于那些认不出自己独特价值的人来说，模仿显得很有吸引力；对于那些知道自己实力的人来说，模仿是不可接受的)”及下文论述可知，文章的主要目的是强调要创新，不要盲目模仿。故选A。 阅读表达(共5小题, 每小题2分, 共10分) 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。 We all know eating out can be a lot of fun. There’s the experience of having someone wait on your every need, the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and, of course, the great benefit of the lack of in-home cleanup. We all also know eating out can be expensive, and I’m pretty sure college isn’t the most financially successful time in a normal person’s life. That’s why eating at home for a majority of meals really is the only option for many college students. Eating at home doesn’t have to be dull, boring, or difficult. It can and should be an energetic, creative experience that transforms the way you look at food. When you cook for yourself, you know exactly how your pasta(意大利面) is going to turn out. You know where the greens in your salad come from. You know the olive oil you’re using really comes from olives that are pressed for the first time. Use eating at home as an opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen sills I promise you they will remain useful and rewarding for the rest of your life. Another important concept is to keep in mind that when it comes to shopping for food——less quantity, more quality. Buy base ingredients that are fresh, as local as possible and beautiful, and anything you cook will improve greatly. I promise you will be just as satisfied by eating a little bit less of something with a lot more quality. I am not saying eating out is a bad thing. But I insist there are many more places that are not worth your cash. Put a little more effort into cooking for yourself at home and you will gain experience and appreciation for the world of food. 61. List at least two benefits of eating out according to the text. (No more than 15 words) ________________ 62. What does the underlined word “option” most probably mean? (1 word) ________________ 63. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? (No more than 7 words) ________________ 64. What advice is given concerning shopping for food in Paragraph 4? ( No more than 4 words) ________________ 65. Do you like eating at home? Give your own reasons. (No more than 25 words) ________________ 【答案】61. The waiters can wait on you and you can stay with your friends. 62. Choice./Selection./Alternative. 63. The advantages/benefits of eating at home. 64. Less quantity, more quality. 65. Yes I do. Because eating at home is better for our health. Cooking our own food can keep the ingredients healthy and clean. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了外出就餐和在家就餐各自的好处，并对在家就餐购买食材给出一些建议。 【61题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“There’s the experience of having someone wait on your every need, the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and, of course, the great benefit of the lack of in-home cleanup. (有人为你的每一个需求服务的体验，有一种和朋友在餐馆里的社交体验，当然，还有一种不需要在家里做清理的巨大好处。)”可知，在外就餐的好处是服务员可以为你服务、可以和朋友待在一起、不必做清理工作。故答案为The waiters can wait on you and you can stay with your friends. 【62题详解】 考查词句猜测。划线词句前文“We all also know eating out can be expensive, and I’m pretty sure college isn’t the most financially successful time in a normal person’s life.(我们都知道在外面吃饭很贵，而且我很确定大学不是普通人生活中最赚钱的时期。)”说明大学生没钱在外面吃饭，常选择在家吃饭，从而推知划线词句“That’s why eating at home for a majority of meals really is the only option for many college students.(这就是为什么大多数时候在家吃饭真的是许多大学生的唯一选择。)”其中划线词应为“选择”的意思。故答案为Choice./Selection./Alternative。 【63题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第三段中“Eating at home doesn’t have to be dull, boring, or difficult. It can and should be an energetic, creative experience that transforms the way you look at food.(在家吃饭并不一定是枯燥、无聊或困难的。它可以也应该是一种充满活力、创造性的体验，改变你看待食物的方式。)”以及“Use eating at home as an opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen sills I promise you they will remain useful and rewarding for the rest of your life.(把在家吃饭作为一个学习和发展你的厨房技能的机会，我向你保证，它们将在你的余生中是有用的和有益的。)”可知，本段主要介绍了在家吃饭的好处。故答案为The advantages/benefits of eating at home。 【64题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“Another important concept is to keep in mind that when it comes to shopping for food——less quantity, more quality. (另一个重要的概念是要记住，当谈到购买食物时——少数量，多质量。)”可知，本段关于购买食物给出的建议是数量要少，质量要高。故答案为Less quantity, more quality。 【65题详解】 考查阅读表达。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了外出就餐和在家就餐的好处。根据问题，可以肯定在家吃饭的好处。表示自己喜欢在家吃饭，因为在家吃饭对我们的健康更有益，自己做饭可以保持食材的健康和清洁。故答案为Yes, I do. Because eating at home is better for our health. Cooking our own food can keep the ingredients healthy and clean。 书面表达(共15分) 66. 假定你是某国际学校的学生会主席李津，你校将举办以“践行低碳生活, 共创美好家园”为主题的环保宣传活动，请你代表学生会给全校学生写一封英文倡议书，内容包括： (1)全球变暖的影响； (2)践行低碳生活的方式； (3)表达期待。 注意: (1)词数不少于 100，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； (2)可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear fellow students, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Students’ Union 【答案】Dear fellow students, As the president of the Students’ Union, I am writing to call on everyone to join in our environmental campaign “Practice Low-Carbon Living, Build a Better Home.” Global warming has led to severe consequences, including extreme weather, rising sea levels, and loss of biodiversity.

Our funds mainly come from public donations. A healthy curiosity for learning is the most important quality for early childhood development. We aim at offering high quality developmentally age-appropriate activities for early childhood, the most critical time of child development, so that they can do better after they start formal schooling. Hours of Operation Child care will be provided for the child from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday (except for holidays). Children may not arrive before 7:00 am or remain after 6:00 pm. Should an emergency arises, the parent should immediately make us know in consideration of our work arrangements. A late charge of $1.00 per minute will be assessed if the child is not picked up by 6:05 pm. Charges for these services are to be paid directly to the staff person that has been looking after your child until your arrival; not to the center. Failure to pay late charges may affect continued services with the center. Parking Dropping off and picking up your child can be made from the two main areas, Spring Street and Seventh Street. Parking is free for parents coming to visit their children in our center. Please do not leave your purse or valuables in your car and be sure to lock your vehicle. Tuition (学费) When it has been confirmed that a position is available for your child, you must pay a registration (注册) fee of $200 per child. The weekly tuition fee is $98.00. You can make payments either by credit card or in cash on Monday every week. If your payment is not made by Tuesday at 9:00 am, you will be charged a $25.00 late fee. For more information, please call 434-293-6110 or visit at www.childdevelopmentcenter.com. 46. The Future Stars is intended for ________.

What can we know about late pick-ups from the text? A. They may affect continued services with the center. B. Parents needn’t pay late charges for them. C. Parents have to inform the center of them right away. D. They may greatly disturb the work arrangements of the center. 49.

What is the purpose of the text? A. To attract public donations. B. To promote early education. C. To tell the benefits of child care. D. To introduce a child development center. B An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same tome. In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong. In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character. The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. Ultinatel was Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word. 51. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy? A. To invite authors to guide readers. B. To encourage people to read and share. C. To involve people in community service. D. To promote the friendship between cities. 52. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project? A. They had little interest in reading. B. They were too busy to read a book. C. They came from many different backgrounds D. They lacked support from the local government 53. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out? A. In large communities with little sense of unity B. In large cities where libraries are far from home C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population D.

To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable. In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them. In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors. Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination. Study you role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server you. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering on.” 56. Imitation proves useful when you . A. know you are unique B. lose the balance of life C. begin to learn something new D. get tired of routine practice 57. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should . A. forget daily fear and pain B. choose the right example C. ask others for decisions D. stay away from stars 58. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are . A. desperate to influence others with their knowledge B. ready to turn their original ideas into reality C. eager to discover what their ancestors did D. willing to accept others' ideas 59. The trouble a creator faces is . A. the lack of strong motivation B. the absence of practical ideas C. how to search for more materials D. how to use imagination creatively 60. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A. To highlight the importance of creatively. B. To criticize the characters of role models. C. To compare imitation with creation. D. To explain the meaning of success. 阅读表达(共5小题, 每小题2分, 共10分) 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。 We all know eating out can be a lot of fun. There’s the experience of having someone wait on your every need, the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and, of course, the great benefit of the lack of in-home cleanup.
