It covers almost the full length of Great Britain. The 12-year-old boy named Laurence Chandler became the youngest cyclist to finish the route. Chandler took 20 days to finish the challenge. Each day, he cycled between 40 to 60 miles. He spent six hours on his mountain bike daily. Chandler had to push through rainy and windy days. Cycling uphill was also hard. “It was much harder than I thought. I wasn’t expecting so many hills and how busy the roads were,” Chandler said. “But if you put your mind to anything, then no matter how big, you can do it.” Chandler first thought of trying the route when he read an article about it two years ago. Later, as his father’s 50th birthday came around, he decided to go for it. He was already used to cycling around his village and to school before starting his journey. During his ride, Chandler raised 600 pounds for Smile Train, a children’s organization that pays for treatment for children in developing countries who have deft lips (兔唇). 56.

In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文) showing how it was used. This was a huge task, so Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford. Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors. But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum (精神病院) for the Criminally Insane. Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds. In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend. Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient. 63. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary ________. A. came out before minor died B. was edited by an American volunteer C. included the English words invented by Murray D. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary 64. How did Dr. Minor contributed to the dictionary? A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers. B. He sent newspapers, magazines and books to Murray. C. He provided a great number of words and quotations. D. he went to England to work with Murray. 65. Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly because ________. A. they both served in the Civil War B. they had a common interest in words C. Minor recovered with the help of Murray D. Murray went to America regularly to visit Minor 66. Which of the following best describe Dr. Minor? A. Brave and determined. B. Cautious and friendly. C. Considerate and optimistic. D. Unusual and scholarly. Section C 2*4=8% Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each blank. There are two extra statements, which you do not need. Suffering from chronic fatigue (慢性疲劳)? Read on to know how to deal with it. Let your brain waves relax before sleep. If you want to feel energized in the morning, you need to change your evening and bedtime routines. ___67___ Besides, stay away from your phone, laptop, TV and any device that gives off the blue light. Never skip your meals. No matter how busy or depressed you are, never ever skip your meals. Have a wholesome breakfast, a light lunch, healthy snacks and a delicious dinner every single day. ___68___ Take a nap: If you are suffering from chronic fatigue and you have trouble surviving the afternoon, taking a short nap(15-20 minutes) is a healthy way. Ask your co-workers not to disturb you for 15 minutes. Or let your boss know that you need to take a short nap every afternoon due to health issues. Give tea a try. ___69___ However, since it has poor energy-boosting properties, it is time to try something new. Earl Grey tea or black tea is a better option when it comes to energy-boosting drinks. ___70___ Taking a cold shower in the morning is an excellent way to wake yourself up and give yourself plenty of energy. However, if you have a weak immune system, this method is not for you. Drinking a glass of cold water as soon as you wake up is a safer way to pump up your energy levels. A. Increase your body’s oxygen B Choose ice water instead of a cold shower. C. Coffee has always been a favorite morning drink for many people. D. If your body doesn’t get enough nutrients, chronic fatigue is unavoidable. E. Do not overload your brain with unnecessary stuff and avoid negative talks. F.

Fashion is an art. B. Fashion is a peek into a personality. C. Fashion is a feast for the eyes. D. Fashion is an individual expression. 12. A. Everywhere. B. In dresses. C. In people's eyes. D. In the street. 13. A. His clothing. B. His personalities. C. His views. D. His neighbors. 【答案】11. D 12. A 13. D 【解析】 【原文】What’s the best definition for “fashion”? Or can you just answer the question “What is fashion?” For me, it’s no easy task to give either the definition or the answer, because fashion means different things to different people. Fashion is an art, a religion, a job, a peek into a personality. It’s also a kind of playfulness, an escape, a disguise, a feast for the eyes. But ultimately, fashion is an individual statement of expression for each of us. Fashion is not static but changes with the time. Fashion may vary significantly within a society according to age, social class, generation, occupation, and geography. If, for example, an old person follows the fashion of young people’s dresses, he or she may look ridiculous in the eyes of both young and old people. French fashion designer Coco Chanel once said, “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live and what is happening.” It’s true. Fashion isn’t solely defined by our clothing choices, the prevailing style or custom, as in dress or behavior, but is also conveyed through the way we carry ourselves. So, I think, at its most fundamental, fashion is simply an expression of oneself Questions: 11.What does “fashion” basically mean according to the speaker? 12. Where does fashion exist according to Coco Chanel, the French designer? 13.What does not convey one’s idea of fashion? 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. A. What fashion is about. B. Different people have different opinions about fashion. C. People should follow fashion. D. More and more young people prefer following fashion. 15. A. In order not to be looked down. B. In order to keep society progressing. C. In order to have their own judgement. D. In order not to do things blindly. 16. A. We all should keep up with the same fashion. B. We should be against fashion. C. We should say nothing about fashion. D. We should follow fashion by our own judgement. 【答案】14. B 15. B 16. D 【解析】 【原文】Fashion is a term commonly used to describe a style of clothing worn by most people of a country. A fashion usually keeps popular for 1-3 years and then is replaced by another fashion. Even though there are a lot of changes in fashion, most people do not easily hope for the changes. Nowadays more and more young people prefer following fashion. On this phenomenon, different people have different opinions. It is thought that one should follow fashion so as not to be looked down or seem strange. But it is also believed that people should have their own judgement. Those who hold the first opinion think that society is progressing and one should get used to the changes. In their opinions, if everyone always follows the old fashion, there won’t be any change and naturally there won’t be much progress. However, those who hold the second view think that one shouldn’t follow fashion without having his or her own judgement and characters. As for me, I agree with the second opinion. Of course, it’s good for people to keep up with fashion, but this is not to say that people should follow fashion blindly. If all the people follow the same fashion, there will be no variety and the whole society will be boring. Questions: 14. What is the speaker mainly talking about? 15. According to those who hold the first view, why should people follow fashion? 16. Which of the following statements will the speaker most probably agree with? 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

A 【解析】 【原文】M: It’s such a great pleasure to have this interview with Maria Jefferson, one of the most popular Costume Designers in New York. Hi, Maria, please tell us a little about you. W: Hi, there. I was born in Brooklyn, and raised in the New Jersey suburb. I was exposed to the best of both the simple suburban life and the fast-paced city lifestyle from my childhood, from which I got a lot of both inspirations and experiences, and the success in my career also had something to do with that. M: You just said “had“. Is your career still good? W: Unfortunately, my 20 clothing shops have had to close their doors for now because my fund chain broke last year. However, I’m determined not to allow that setback to define my future. I’m moving on with a new project, and have big confidence. M: You must have a lot of supporters on the way to your achievement.

However, it is clear that some types of food have a _____21_____ (big) environmental impact than others. What can we do in our everyday lives to make _____22_____ difference? Firstly, we should avoid food that has travelled a long way. Food transport is a big source of CO₂, _____23_____ causes global warming. In other words, it is best to eat food that_____24_____ (produce) by the local people. Secondly, _____25_____ the fast food is very convenient, we should eat less fast food for the environment. Recently, fast food has become very popular, but _____26_____ is unfortunately very bad for the environment. Most takeaway containers will probably end up in the rubbish dump. However, we can encourage restaurants ______27______ (use) recycled materials to pack their meals. Thirdly, we should avoid those types of food _____28_____ (cause) huge environmental stress. For example, now rain forests around the world are being burned down to make room for cattle farms. To protect the rainforest, we _____29_____ eat less beef and avoid food that contains palm oil. Pollution and climate change are global problems, so we all need to work together. The good news is that every little bit counts. By using our resources _______30_______ a more efficient way, we can save a lot of money at the same time as we save the environment. 【答案】21. bigger 22. a 23. which 24. is produced 25. although##though##while 26. it 27. to use 28. causing 29. should 30. in 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了食物对环境的影响，并提出了一些在日常生活中可以采取的环保措施，如避免食用运输距离长的食物、少吃快餐、避免食用对环境压力大的食物等，强调每个人小小的行动都对保护环境有意义。 【21题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：然而，很明显，某些食物对环境的影响比其他食物更大。由后文 “than others”可知，此处应用big的比较级 bigger，表示“更大的”，修饰“environmental impact”。故填bigger。 【22题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：在日常生活中，我们能做些什么来改变世界呢？此处为固定短语“make a difference”，意为“有影响；起作用”。故填a。 【23题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：食品运输是导致全球变暖的二氧化碳的主要来源。分析句子可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“CO₂”， 先行词CO₂在从句中作主语，所以为关系代词which引导。故填which。 【24题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：换句话说，最好吃当地人生产的食物。分析句子可知，“that ____ (produce) by the local people” 是定语从句修饰 “food”，food与 produce之间是被动关系，且句子描述的是一般情况，故用一般现在时的被动语态 is produced。故填is produced。 【25题详解】 考查让步状语从句。句意：其次，虽然快餐很方便，但是为了环境我们应该少吃快餐。根据句意可知，前后句之间是让步关系，意为“尽管快餐很方便，但为了环境我们应该少吃快餐”，所以此处为连词although/though/while表示“尽管”引导让步状语从句。故填although/though/while。 【26题详解】 考查代词。句意：最近，快餐已经变得非常流行，但不幸的是，它对环境非常不利。分析句子可知，这里用it指代前面提到的“fast food”，在句子中作主语。故填it。 【27题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：然而，我们可以鼓励餐馆使用可回收材料来包装他们的饭菜。“encourage sb. to do sth.”是固定搭配，意为“鼓励某人做某事”，所以此处动词不定式形式。故填to use。 【28题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：第三，我们应该避免那些对环境造成巨大压力的食物。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰“those types of food”，food与 cause之间是主动关系，故用现在分词causing。故填causing。 【29题详解】 考查情态动词。句意：为了保护雨林，我们应该少吃牛肉，避免含有棕榈油的食物。根据语境，为了保护雨林，我们“应该”少吃牛肉，用情态动词should 表示“应该”，提出建议。故填should。 【30题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：通过更有效地利用我们的资源，我们可以在拯救环境的同时节省很多钱。“in a...way”是固定搭配，意为“以一种…… 的方式”。故填in。 Section B 1*10=10% Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文) showing how it was used. This was a huge task, so Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford. Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors. But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum (精神病院) for the Criminally Insane. Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds. In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend. Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient. 63. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary ________. A. came out before minor died B. was edited by an American volunteer C. included the English words invented by Murray D. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary 64 How did Dr. Minor contributed to the dictionary?

B 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。主要介绍了消除慢性疲劳增强活力的方法。 【67题详解】 根据本段的主题句“Let your brain waves relax before sleep.(睡觉前让你的脑电波放松)”及空后的“Besides, stay away from your phone, laptop, TV and any device that gives off the blue light.(此外，远离手机、笔记本电脑、电视机和任何能发出蓝光的设备)”可知，不要让不必要的东西在睡觉前出现。故E项“不要用不必要的东西让你的大脑过度负担，避免消极的谈话”符合题意。故选E。 【68题详解】 根据本段的主题句“Never skip your meals(绝对不能不吃饭)”以及空前的“Have a wholesome breakfast, a light lunch, healthy snacks and a delicious dinner every single day.(每天吃一顿健康的早餐，一份清淡的健康的午餐和一顿美味的晚餐)”可知，身体每天要得到足够的营养。故D项“如果你的身体没有得到足够的营养，慢性疲劳是不可避免的”符合题意。故选D。 【69题详解】 根据该段的主题句“Give tea a try.(尝试喝茶)”及空格后的“However, since it has poor energy-boosting properties, it is time to try something new. Earl Grey tea or black tea is a better option when it comes to energy-boosting drinks.(然而，由于它的能量提升性能很差，是时候尝试一些新的东西了。说到补充能量的饮料，伯爵茶或红茶是更好的选择)”可知，However表示转折，说明本句是在列举其他受欢迎的饮品，后文指出其缺点，故C项“咖啡一直是许多人早晨最喜欢的饮料”符合题意。故选C。 【70题详解】 根据后文“Taking a cold shower in the morning is an excellent way to wake yourself up and give yourself plenty of energy.

Different people have different opinions. IT is thought that one should follow fashion so as not to be looked down or seem strange, but IT is also believed that people should have their own judgment. Those who hold the first opinion think that society is progressing, and one should get used to the changes in their opinions. If everyone always follows the old fashion, there won't be any change and nature, there won't be much progress.
