Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. Whatever your reason may be, the best foreign language software around will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks. You will be able to speak fluently (流利地) and understand the language clearly as well. Tell Me More This software is widely used in U.S. schools, and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning software around the world. It offers instructions for learning Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. However, the software does not come cheap as it costs around $250. Talk Now! If you are looking for a cheaper language learning software, then this is just the suitable choice for you. This software will cost you around $40, and even though it is not as useful as Tell Me More, it is still a very good software for the purpose. The disadvantages are that there is very little focus on grammar and there is a clear lack of interactive activities (缺乏互动性活动) for users so it does not result in fluency. Instant Immersion This software provides learning material for up to 33 different languages, and it is widely considered as the best software for learning Spanish as well. It will cost you around $30, and this is a very reasonable price for such a highly recommended (推荐) and loved language learning software. The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever present speech recognition feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak. Kid Speak This is a foreign language translation software that you can make use of, and it will cost you around $30. So, it is safe to say that the level of performance will be similar to that of Talk Now! This software is designed more for the use of children for its interesting videos. 36. In learning a language, __________. A. different people have different purposes B. talking with the natives is very necessary C. understanding foreign cultures is necessary D. using software is the most effective way 37. What is the disadvantage of Tell Me More? A. It lacks language learning methods. B. It offers no interactive activities. C. It costs much more than the others. D.

A 37. C 38. B 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章为想学一门语言的人推荐了一些语言学习软件。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Some people learn a foreign language because they want to communicate with the local people. Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. (有些人学习一门外语是因为他们想和当地人交流。还有一些人只是对外国文化好奇。)”可知，不同的人学习一门语言有不同的目的。故选A项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tell Me More部分中“However, the software does not come cheap as it costs around $250. (然而，这款软件并不便宜，售价约为250美元。)”、Talk Now!部分中“This software will cost you around $40 (这个软件将花费你大约40美元)”、Instant Immersion部分中“It will cost you around $30 (大约要30美元)”和Kid Speak部分中“it will cost you around $30 (大约要30美元)”可知，Tell Me More的缺点是售价比其他的贵得多。故选C项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据Talk Now!部分中“The disadvantages are that there is very little focus on grammar and there is a clear lack of interactive activities (缺乏互动性活动) for users so it does not result in fluency. (缺点是很少关注语法，并且明显缺乏互动性活动，所以它不会带来流利。)”可知，这款软件的用户将很难提高他们的流利程度，因为它没有提供互动活动。故选B项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据Instant Immersion部分中“The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever present speech recognition feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak. (学习课程是高度互动的，并且始终存在的语音识别功能确保您在说话时获得正确的发音。)”可知，这款软件适合发音不好的用户。故选C项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第一段中“Whatever your reason may be, the best foreign language software around will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks. (不管你的原因是什么，最好的外语软件肯定会帮助你在几周内学会这门语言。)”可推知，文章的写作目的是给想学一门语言的读者介绍一些语言学习软件。故选A项。 B There’s a small brick house I visit from time to time. It’s not the house that is special, but rather the person who lives inside. I met Jenny about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher. I remember looking into her classroom wishing I was her student. Jenny created a safe place where we could be whatever we wanted to be in that moment. My parents told me I could start school when I was 4. Though, when I turned 4 in the spring, I couldn’t understand why I had to wait until September. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Jenny to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces singing the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I marveled at how she connected with children. For years, Jenny volunteered in my classroom. Over the years we have shared in each other’s ups and downs. She asks me for updates about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers. I am here for her now as the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. We go through every painting a student has given her, every thank-you note a parent has written and her teaching aids. I find papers featuring the letters of the alphabet. I find my own name printed in green marker. Suddenly, my mind goes back to Room 3. More than 40 years ago, Jenny sat on the carpet at her feet. We learned about the letters and their sounds. Now, Jenny sits on her rocking chair, and I find myself sitting at her feet. Over tea, we talk for hours. I listen intently because I know I still have more to learn from her. Our friendship is one that neither one of us expected. Educators know teaching is a profession devoted to the development of young individuals. The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their lives. The exceptional ones never leave their students’ hearts. 41. What is the best title of the passage? A A small brick house. B. Unexpected friendship. C. A kindergarten teacher. D. Letters of the alphabet. 42. What does the underlined words “marveled at” mean in English? A. To be surprised at. B. To be satisfied with. C. To be disappointed at. D. To be angry with. 43. According to the passage, what did the author do after she graduated? A. A singer. B. A painter. C. A teacher. D. A volunteer. 44. What do we know from the last paragraph? A. Teachers play an important role in the development of students. B. Every teacher will never leave their students’ hearts. C.

A 43. C 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己和Jenny之间意想不到的友谊故事，第一次见到Jenny的时候，作者就想成为她的学生。在她的影响下，作者成为了一名教师，多年来两人一直保持亲密的联系。 【41题详解】 标题判断题。通读全文可知，作者讲述了自己和Jenny之间意想不到的友谊故事，第一次见到Jenny的时候，作者就想成为她的学生。在她的影响下，作者成为了一名教师，多年来两人一直保持亲密的联系。因此，B项“意想不到的友谊”符合文章大意，适合作为标题。故选B项。 【42题详解】 短语猜测题。根据第三段中“She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces singing the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I marveled at how she connected with children. (有一天她来了，我看到我的学生们脸上洋溢着喜悦，唱着我小时候和她一起唱的歌。作为一名新老师，我对她与孩子们相处的方式……。)”可知，Jenny和作者的学生相处的时候，让他们唱着作者小时候唱的歌，让他们非常快乐。由此推知，作者会对这种相处方式感到惊讶，marveled at应该表示“对……感到惊讶”。故选A项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Jenny to my classroom. (从我记事起，我就一直想成为一名教师。当我毕业的时候，我迫不及待地邀请Jenny到我的教室。)”可知，作者毕业后成为了一名教师。故选C项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Educators know teaching is a profession devoted to the development of young individuals. The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their lives. The exceptional ones never leave their students’ hearts. (教育工作者知道教学是一项致力于年轻个体发展的职业。幸运的人可以看到他们的学生用他们的生活做了什么。优秀的老师永远不会离开学生的心。)”可知，教师致力于年轻个体的发展，对学生的生活和心灵产生深刻的影响。因此，教师在学生的发展中发挥着重要作用。故选A项。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“I listen intently because I know I still have more to learn from her. (我专心地听着，因为我知道我还有很多东西要向她学习。)”和最后一段中“The exceptional ones never leave their students’ hearts. (优秀的老师永远不会离开学生的心。)”可知，D项“作者从Jenny身上学到很多”与文章内容相符。故选D项。 C Fabien Cousteau, an ocean explorer, has announced plans to build a large research station under the ocean. The goal of the project is to become an “underwater version of the International Space Station (ISS)”. Mr. Cousteau is the grandson of Jacques Cousteau, an ocean scientist who brought the wonders of the sea to the attention of people around the world. Fabien Cousteau has gone the same way, exploring the sea as a scientist and working to protect the oceans. Though the ocean is all around us, studying it is a challenge. Divers are limited in how far down they can go and how long they can stay below. Returning to the surface can be dangerous. After a deep dive, divers must wait for hours before they dive again. The new undersea laboratory is designed to solve many of those problems. Named “Proteus” the lab is a 370-square-meter structure that can be a home for up to 12 people at a time. By actually living under the sea, scientists will be able to dive and work for much longer without worrying about the dangers of coming to the surface. Mr. Cousteau says that the research base won’t just be used to study and help protect the sea, but also to research new ways of creating energy and perhaps even searching for new medicines. The power for the station is expected to come from solar energy and the movement of the ocean. Proteus is also expected to have the first underwater greenhouse in the world, so that the lab will be able to grow some of its own food. Proteus was designed by Yves Behar, a well-known designer.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一项建立海底实验室的计划。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段“Mr. Cousteau is the grandson of Jacques Cousteau, an ocean scientist who brought the wonders of the sea to the attention of people around the world. Fabien Cousteau has gone the same way, exploring the sea as a scientist and working to protect the oceans. (库斯托先生是海洋科学家雅克·库斯托的孙子，他将海洋奇观带给了世界各地的人们。法比安·库斯托也走上了同样的道路，作为一名科学家探索海洋，并致力于保护海洋)”可推知，法比安·库斯托成为海洋探险家的可能原因是受到他祖父的影响。故选B项。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段“Though the ocean is all around us, studying it is a challenge. Divers are limited in how far down they can go and how long they can stay below. Returning to the surface can be dangerous. After a deep dive, divers must wait for hours before they dive again. (尽管海洋就在我们周围，但研究它是一项挑战。潜水员在往下走多远和在下面呆多久都是有限的。返回水面可能很危险。深潜后，潜水员必须等待数小时才能再次潜水)”和第四段中的“The new undersea laboratory is designed to solve many of those problems. (新的海底实验室旨在解决其中的许多问题)”及“By actually living under the sea, scientists will be able to dive and work for much longer without worrying about the dangers of coming to the surface. (通过实际生活在海底，科学家们将能够潜水和工作更长的时间，而不用担心浮出水面的危险)”可推知，研究海洋有许多危险，新的海底实验室旨在解决这些问题，Cousteau设立Proteus的目的是使研究海洋变得容易一些。故选A项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“Proteus is also expected to have the first underwater greenhouse in the world, so that the lab will be able to grow some of its own food. (Proteus预计还将拥有世界上第一个水下温室，这样实验室就可以自己种植一些食物)”可知，在Proteus里面可以自己种植一些食物（蔬菜）。故选D项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Mr. Cousteau and Mr. Behar are working together to raise money to build Proteus. They say it’ll cost about $135 million. (库斯托先生和贝哈尔先生正在共同筹集资金来建造Proteus。他们说这将花费大约1.35亿美元。计划要求在加勒比海库拉索岛外海面下18米的海底建造Proteus)”可知，Proteus建造资金需要筹集，预计大约1.35亿美元，Proteus建造成本很高。故选B项。 50题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段“Fabien Cousteau, an ocean explorer, has announced plans to build a large research station under the ocean. The goal of the project is to become an “underwater version of the International Space Station (ISS)”. (海洋探险家法比安·库斯托宣布计划在海底建造一个大型研究站。该项目的目标是成为“国际空间站的水下版本”)”和全文内容可知，海洋探险家Fabien Cousteau宣布计划在海底建造一个大型研究站，该项目的目标是成为“国际空间站的水下版本”。由此可知，本文旨在介绍一项建立海底研究站的计划。故选D项。 D Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you're studying history, asking yourself the question "why is history important "is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history. History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse（一瞥）into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution of your culture can provide. History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life. History makes us more empathetic（具有共情能力的）, Studying history can give us insight （洞察力）into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance （无知）. We're scared of the things that we don't understand. History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us. History can inspire us to learn more. what's fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere, and there is something in there for absolutely anybody. The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don't have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives. 51. The underlined part "where we are today" in Para. 2 probably means __________. A. the turning point in our history B. the present state of our nation C. the location of our homeland D. the total area of our country 52. According to the experts, why is history useful for people to handle challenges of life? A. The problems at present are similar to those in the past. B. Ancient people laid economic foundations for people today. C. The current challenges of life were predicted by the ancestors. D. People living long time ago knew more about how to solve problems. 53. What can be concluded from Para.4? A. It is difficult to get rid of cultural barriers. B. People are willing to accept foreign cultures. C. Cultural conflicts in history are difficult to ignore. D. History helps us improve our cross-cultural awareness. 54. With the example in Para.5, the writer intends to show that______________. A. Charles Dickens contributes much to British literature. B. Oliver Twist can satisfy our curiosity for romantic poets. C. reading novels is a way to learn about a historical period. D. studying history can arouse people's interest in other fields. 55. What could be the best title for the passage? A How to Build Cultural Identity B. Why Studying History Matters C. Know the Past, Know the Present D. History: a Way to Broaden Horizons 【答案】51. B 52. A 53. D 54. D 55. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是议论文。开头提出问题为什么历史重要。然后分四方面论述学历史的好处，最后总结扣题说明学历史的意义——历史的价值不可低估，通过从中学习，并利用学到的教训过更有意义的生活。 【51题详解】 猜测词义题。根据上句learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse(一瞥 )into our ancestral pasts.,可知学习我们祖国的历史能更深、更有意义地了解我们祖先的过去。此处指学历史着眼于大局，是从国家层面讲的，与之一致，可推知画线的where we are today指的是我们国家的现状。故选B。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life.可知专家认为，无论过去和现在，人们面临问题都是一样的。有了祖先的信息，我们在处理生活中的挑战时会更有经验。故选A。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures和History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.可知历史为跨文化的同理心提供了一个相当坚实的基础，历史有可能打破对未知事物的恐惧和憎恨，为我们提供洞悉整个世界的机会。由此推之历史帮助我们提高跨文化意识。故选D。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段标题是 History can inspire us to learn more:(历史可以激励我们学习更多),下面列举了阅读Oliver Twist的例子,通过Oliver Twist我们能去了解作者 Charles Dickens,还可能会学到一些关于现实主义的东西，会发现英国浪漫主义诗人的历史。作者通过这个例子是为了说明学习历史可以引起人们对其他领域的兴趣。故选D。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段If you're studying history, asking yourself the question" why is history important" is a very good first step.提到学历史前先问自己为什么历史重要。下文分四方面论述学历史的好处，最后一段总结扣题说明学历史的意义——历史的价值不可低估，通过从中学习，并利用学到的教训过更有意义的生活。故Why Studying History Matters?能概括全文内容。故选B。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共45分） 第一节：根据所给汉语或英文词汇用正确的形式完成句子（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 56.

He was as energetic as ever. I know he’s a disciplined man who relies on very strict routines. But I realized I never asked him about his secret. As a matter of fact, you don’t need to look at scientific research on habits to figure out what to do. Just look at what a healthy family member does if you have one. You’ll see the patterns. Look at the good things they do and copy them. That’s what I’ve been doing with my grandfather. At first, I think you need to decide what habit you want to form. When you know what you want, it’s important to know when you want to do it. I often wake up at 6 am., do a three-mile run and have breakfast before I go to work. The exercise may seem a bit challenging but you can adjust the distance to suit yourself. Besides, I like to measure my habits whenever possible. For lifting weights, my goal is to do it for at least 30 minutes each time. For my runs, however, it’s a bit more flexible because it depends on how my legs feel. Most people think it takes 66 days on average to form a habit, but my grandfather will beg to differ. “In my experience, it takes a week to get used to doing something regularly. So if you wake up at the same time every day for a whole week, you can count on yourself to do it every day from that point.” That’s solid advice. Why set the bar low? You can make it if you go all out. 66. What is the author’s grandfather like? (no more than 5 words) ____________________________________________________________ 67. What has the author been doing according to paragraph 2? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________ 68. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 probably mean? (1 word) ____________________________________________________________ 69. What is the author’s advice at the end of the passage? (no more than 5 words) ____________________________________________________________ 70. What do you think is important when you are trying to form a good habit? (no more than 20 words) ____________________________________________________________ 【答案】66. Energetic and disciplined. 67. Looking at the good things his/her grandfather does and copying him. Or Following his grandfather and developing good habits. 68. Disagree / Vary/ Object. 69. Don't set the bar low./ Go all out / Try the best. 70. I think a specific goal is important. That makes you know exactly what you want and helps to succeed. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的祖父精力充沛且自律，启发了作者关于习惯养成的思考。作者认为习惯的养成与家庭成员有关，养成习惯重要的是别把门槛设置得太低且全力以赴。 【66题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“He was as energetic as ever. I know he’s a disciplined man who relies on very strict routines.(他和以前一样精力充沛。我知道他是个纪律严明的人，循规蹈矩)”可知，祖父精力充沛且自律。故答案为Energetic and disciplined. 【67题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“Look at the good things they do and copy them. That’s what I’ve been doing with my grandfather.(看看他们做的好事，然后模仿他们。我和我祖父就是这么做的)”可知，作者在看着他/她的祖父做的好事并模仿他。或者跟随他的祖父，养成好习惯。故答案为Looking at the good things his/her grandfather does and copying him. Or Following his grandfather and developing good habits. 【68题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据划线词后文““In my experience, it takes a week to get used to doing something regularly. So if you wake up at the same time every day for a whole week, you can count on yourself to do it every day from that point.”(“根据我的经验，要习惯有规律地做一件事需要一周的时间。所以，如果你连续一周每天都在同一时间起床，你就可以指望自己从那时起每天都这样做。”)”可知，祖父认为一周就可以养成习惯，反对养成一个习惯平均需要66天的说法。故划线词意思是“反对”。故答案为Disagree / Vary/ Object. 【69题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“That’s solid advice. Why set the bar low? You can make it if you go all out.(这是可靠的建议。为什么要把门槛定得这么低呢？如果你全力以赴，你会成功的)”可知，作者在文章结尾的建议是别把门槛定得太低/全力以赴/尽力而为。故答案为Don't set the bar low./ Go all out / Try the best. 【70题详解】 考查开放题。根据“当你试图养成一个好习惯时，你认为什么是重要的？”可回答：我认为一个明确的目标很重要。这让你确切地知道你想要什么，并有助于成功。故答案为I think a specific goal is important. That makes you know exactly what you want and helps to succeed. 第三节：书面表达（满分25分） 71. 学校英文报组织同学们分享自己在假期中学到的新技能，请你以此为主题写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1.简要概述； 2.体验和感受。 注意： 1.字数100字左右； 2.题目已为你写好，可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Learning a New Skill ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Learning a New Skill It is important for us to master some basic living skills to prepare us for our future life. That is why I learned how to cook during the May Day holiday. Since my mother is skilled at cooking, I decided to learn from her. Early in the morning we bought some ingredients, including some vegetables, meat and a fish in the local market. Once we got back home, I began to wash and cut them carefully. Under the guidance of my mother, I turned on the gas cooker. I first stir-fried two vegetables. Then I cooked meat with potatoes. The most difficult task to do was cook fish with tomatoes. However, I finally did it. The moment I put the dishes on the table, my parents gave me a thumbs-up. I felt so proud that I shared housework with my parents, which also showed I had grown up. Learning a New Skill During my recent vacation, I gained a new skill-swimming and although the process proved to be quite challenging, the sense of reward and accomplishment was really impressive. Recognizing that swimming was crucial for safety in case of accident, as well as an excellent form of exercise, I made the decision to acquire this skill with dedication and commitment. In the beginning, I spent much time in the pool, getting familiar with the water and surroundings. Then, with the guidance of a coach, I gradually learned the proper techniques for breathing, floating, kicking and stroking in the pool. Through consistent practice, I eventually developed the ability to swim, even though I admitted that I’m not particularly skilled yet. Learning how to swim was a valuable experience that taught me an essential lesson: where there is will, there is a way. Additionally, no matter what you are doing, the more you practice, the more proficient you will become. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一篇短文投稿，分享自己在假期中学到的新技能。 【详解】（范文1） 1.词汇积累 重要的：important→crucial 擅长：be skilled at→be adept at 打开：turn on→switch on 家务：housework→chore 2.句式拓展 合并简单句 原句：The most difficult task to do was cook fish with tomatoes.

Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. Whatever your reason may be, the best foreign language software around will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks. You will be able to speak fluently (流利地) and understand the language clearly as well. Tell Me More This software is widely used in U.S. schools, and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning software around the world. It offers instructions for learning Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. However, the software does not come cheap as it costs around $250. Talk Now! If you are looking for a cheaper language learning software, then this is just the suitable choice for you. This software will cost you around $40, and even though it is not as useful as Tell Me More, it is still a very good software for the purpose. The disadvantages are that there is very little focus on grammar and there is a clear lack of interactive activities (缺乏互动性活动) for users so it does not result in fluency. Instant Immersion This software provides learning material for up to 33 different languages, and it is widely considered as the best software for learning Spanish as well. It will cost you around $30, and this is a very reasonable price for such a highly recommended (推荐) and loved language learning software. The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever present speech recognition feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak. Kid Speak This is a foreign language translation software that you can make use of, and it will cost you around $30. So, it is safe to say that the level of performance will be similar to that of Talk Now! This software is designed more for the use of children for its interesting videos. 36. In learning a language, __________. A. different people have different purposes B talking with the natives is very necessary C. understanding foreign cultures is necessary D. using software is the most effective way 37. What is the disadvantage of Tell Me More? A It lacks language learning methods. B. It offers no interactive activities. C. It costs much more than the others. D. It provides no interesting videos for children. 38. Users of Talk Now will have difficulty improving their fluency because __________. A. it doesn’t focus on grammar B. it doesn’t offer interactive activities C. it costs the users very little money D. its users are usually small kids 39. Which of the apps best suits users with poor pronunciation? A. Tell Me More. B. Talk Now. C. Instant Immersion. D. Kid Speak. 40. The author wrote this passage to __________. A. introduce some language learning software to us B. tell us the importance of learning a foreign language C. tell us the advantages and disadvantages of some software D. encourage us to use software in learning foreign languages B There’s a small brick house I visit from time to time. It’s not the house that is special, but rather the person who lives inside. I met Jenny about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher. I remember looking into her classroom wishing I was her student. Jenny created a safe place where we could be whatever we wanted to be in that moment. My parents told me I could start school when I was 4. Though, when I turned 4 in the spring, I couldn’t understand why I had to wait until September. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Jenny to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces singing the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I marveled at how she connected with children. For years, Jenny volunteered in my classroom. Over the years we have shared in each other’s ups and downs. She asks me for updates about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers. I am here for her now as the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. We go through every painting a student has given her, every thank-you note a parent has written and her teaching aids. I find papers featuring the letters of the alphabet. I find my own name printed in green marker. Suddenly, my mind goes back to Room 3. More than 40 years ago, Jenny sat on the carpet at her feet. We learned about the letters and their sounds. Now, Jenny sits on her rocking chair, and I find myself sitting at her feet. Over tea, we talk for hours. I listen intently because I know I still have more to learn from her. Our friendship is one that neither one of us expected. Educators know teaching is a profession devoted to the development of young individuals. The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their lives. The exceptional ones never leave their students’ hearts. 41. What is the best title of the passage? A. A small brick house.

C Fabien Cousteau, an ocean explorer, has announced plans to build a large research station under the ocean. The goal of the project is to become an “underwater version of the International Space Station (ISS)”. Mr. Cousteau is the grandson of Jacques Cousteau, an ocean scientist who brought the wonders of the sea to the attention of people around the world. Fabien Cousteau has gone the same way, exploring the sea as a scientist and working to protect the oceans. Though the ocean is all around us, studying it is a challenge. Divers are limited in how far down they can go and how long they can stay below. Returning to the surface can be dangerous. After a deep dive, divers must wait for hours before they dive again. The new undersea laboratory is designed to solve many of those problems. Named “Proteus” the lab is a 370-square-meter structure that can be a home for up to 12 people at a time. By actually living under the sea, scientists will be able to dive and work for much longer without worrying about the dangers of coming to the surface. Mr. Cousteau says that the research base won’t just be used to study and help protect the sea, but also to research new ways of creating energy and perhaps even searching for new medicines. The power for the station is expected to come from solar energy and the movement of the ocean. Proteus is also expected to have the first underwater greenhouse in the world, so that the lab will be able to grow some of its own food. Proteus was designed by Yves Behar, a well-known designer. Mr. Cousteau and Mr. Behar are working together to raise money to build Proteus. They say it’ll cost about $135 million. Plans call for Proteus to be built on the sea floor 18 meters below the ocean’s surface off the island of Curacao in the Caribbean Sea. Mr. Cousteau hopes to have the lab completed and ready to use by 2025. 46. What is the possible reason why Fabien Cousteau becomes an ocean explorer? A. The strong support of his family. B. The influence of his grandfather. C. The trouble in exploring the ocean. D. The dream of building the ISS in water. 47. What is the purpose of Fabien Cousteau’s building Proteus? A To make studying the ocean easy. B. To get more of the ocean mapped. C. To become known for his research. D. To draw attention to ocean exploration. 48. What is expected to be possible in Proteus? A. Exploring the island of Curacao. B. Living in the sea forever. C. Creating solar energy. D. Planting vegetables. 49. What can we know about Proteus from the passage? A. It has been put to use. B. It’s expensive to build. C. It’s in the testing stage. D. It’s built in the Pacific Ocean. 50. What is the passage mainly about? A. A world-known ocean explorer. B. A newly-built undersea laboratory C. An advanced way to explore the ocean D. A plan for an undersea research station. D Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you're studying history, asking yourself the question "why is history important "is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history. History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse（一瞥）into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution of your culture can provide. History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life. History makes us more empathetic（具有共情能力的）, Studying history can give us insight （洞察力）into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance （无知）. We're scared of the things that we don't understand. History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us. History can inspire us to learn more. what's fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere, and there is something in there for absolutely anybody. The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don't have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives. 51. The underlined part "where we are today" in Para. 2 probably means __________. A. the turning point in our history B the present state of our nation C. the location of our homeland D. the total area of our country 52. According to the experts, why is history useful for people to handle challenges of life? A. The problems at present are similar to those in the past. B. Ancient people laid economic foundations for people today. C. The current challenges of life were predicted by the ancestors. D. People living long time ago knew more about how to solve problems. 53. What can be concluded from Para.4? A. It is difficult to get rid of cultural barriers. B. People are willing to accept foreign cultures. C. Cultural conflicts in history are difficult to ignore. D. History helps us improve our cross-cultural awareness. 54. With the example in Para.5, the writer intends to show that______________. A. Charles Dickens contributes much to British literature. B.

I know he’s a disciplined man who relies on very strict routines. But I realized I never asked him about his secret. As a matter of fact, you don’t need to look at scientific research on habits to figure out what to do. Just look at what a healthy family member does if you have one. You’ll see the patterns. Look at the good things they do and copy them. That’s what I’ve been doing with my grandfather. At first, I think you need to decide what habit you want to form. When you know what you want, it’s important to know when you want to do it. I often wake up at 6 am., do a three-mile run and have breakfast before I go to work. The exercise may seem a bit challenging but you can adjust the distance to suit yourself. Besides, I like to measure my habits whenever possible. For lifting weights, my goal is to do it for at least 30 minutes each time. For my runs, however, it’s a bit more flexible because it depends on how my legs feel. Most people think it takes 66 days on average to form a habit, but my grandfather will beg to differ. “In my experience, it takes a week to get used to doing something regularly. So if you wake up at the same time every day for a whole week, you can count on yourself to do it every day from that point.” That’s solid advice. Why set the bar low? You can make it if you go all out. 66. What is the author’s grandfather like? (no more than 5 words) ____________________________________________________________ 67. What has the author been doing according to paragraph 2? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________ 68. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 probably mean? (1 word) ____________________________________________________________ 69. What is the author’s advice at the end of the passage?
