Therefore, when I arrived,I was excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country.It was so greatly different from the UK.The food, the landmarks,the big cities and everyday life--I couldn't wait to explore. However , learning Chinese hadn't even entered my mind, not because I was lazy ,but because I had no confidence to learn the most difficult language in the world,Besides this,once I moved to China,I lived in Shanghai.It is an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language.So I thought English would be adequate. But after a year in China I found many expats(侨民)spoke Chinese.Perhaps it was achievable after all? I felt uncomfortable because so many Chinese people could speak English while I couldn't even speak the most basic Chinese.To face the challenge ,I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn't start earlier. In the two years since starting to learn I have made great progress.Now , I am able to talk in Chinese on many topics.Learning to speak Chinese isn't as difficult as I once expected. When I speak to Chinese people in Chinese,they almost always understand me. The most challenging thing is listening since Chinese people talk at such a speed.I can't always understand what's been said,but my weekly online language exchanges help with this.Learning Chinese has taken a lot of hard work.But there is still a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency(流利).Learning Chinese not only helps me in day-to-day life, but deepens my cultural understanding of such a great country.So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this,don't be afraid, face the challenge and be confident. 24.

C.The writer's journey of learning Chinese.D.The value of learning a new language. C Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking , texting or checking updates on social media without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species" of human has kept rising , they have been given a new name--phubbers(低头族). Recently,a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight.In the short film, phubbers with various social identities(身份)bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die,a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site,and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world. Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it.“Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying.“The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also,staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually,according to the report. But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere,Qilu Evening News reported. It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents,and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight. 28. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in paragraph 2? A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing. B. To advertise the cartoon made by students. C.

His social skills could be affected. B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed. C.He will cause the destruction of the world. D. He might get separated from his friends and family. 30.Which of the following may be the author's attitude towards phubbing? A. Supportive B.Opposed. C.Optimistic D.Objective. 31.What may the passage talk about next? A. Advice on how to use a cell phone. B. People addicted to phubbing. C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing. D. Consequences of phubbing. D For the past three decades,Richard Sears,71,has been focused on one thing:telling the stories behind Chinese characters（汉字）. His interest in Chinese language and characters goes back to 1972,when he was a 22-year- old physics major at Portland State University in Oregon.“I realized only 7 percent of the world speak English as a mother tongue.So,I wanted to know what it was like to speak another language," By 1990,Sears was already pretty fluent in Chinese,but he did not know how to read. To Sears, the characters were complex with many strokes and almost no apparent logic. “I'm a physicist,so I don't like blind memorization in learning languages.I knew that Chinese characters came from pictographs(象形文字)and I wanted to know the stories behind the Chinese characters.”As he studied,Sears realized quickly that many of the explanations could not possibly be true.In order to pick out the good ones,he decided to computerize the characters. He scanned about 96,000 ancient characters. The database of ancient characters came into being,but he wanted to explain the step-by- step evolvement（发展） of these characters from the original pictographs to the modern simplified forms. He finally got his website up in 2002 and named it Chinese Etymology(词源),where visitors can check for free the evolvement of Chinese characters in various forms.Between 2002 and2011,the website would get 11,000 or 15,000 hits a day.Suddenly,in January 2011,clicks to the website went up to 600,000 in one day,Overnight he became Uncle Hanzi,a nickname given by Chinese netizens（网民）,after one of them shared his website on Chinese social media. In addition to the website , in September last year,Sears set up his studio, focusing on applying AR,animation and artificial intelligence to telling stories of Chinese culture and character origins,in Nanjing as part of the local authority's plan to cultivate talent in the culture sector.“They have both entertainment value for young Chinese and educational value and can teach the origins of Chinese characters,”he says.“We also want to make videos with a high educational value for other platforms both for Chinese and foreign learners of Chinese characters.” 32. What do we know about Richard Sears? A. He learned Chinese to improve his physics. B. He has made an exploration into Chinese characters. C.He was fluent in reading Chinese from the beginning. D. He was concerned about the spread of his mother tongue. 33. What does the underlined word “ones”in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Explanations. B. Characters. C.Pictographs. D. Languages. 34.What can be inferred about Sears' website? A. It has made a big profit from netizens visiting it. B. It gained popularity shortly after being established. C.It focuses on the simplification of Chinese characters. D.It brings the evolvement of Chinese characters to the public. 35. Which of the following can best describe Richard Sears? A. Enthusiastic and devoted. B. Wise but careless. C. Ambitious and humorous. D. Generous but stubborn. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Work out Your Worries by Writing Something troubling you? You should write about it. Research shows that people who write about a difficult situation often show improved mental and physical health. 36 It is a specific technique, and it's different from writing in a journal. The idea is to reflect honestly and thoughtfully on a particular challenge. Hundreds of studies over several decades have looked at the potential benefits of expressive writing. It can strengthen the immune system, including for people with illnesses such as flu，cancer and depression. 37 Expressive writing works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience, experts say. 38 Then translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts.And creating a narrative gives you a sense of control. But expressive writing isn't a magical cure-all solution. 39 And people coping with a severe injury or depression may not find it useful to do on their own, without therapy(治疗). Yet it can be a powerful tool for many , in large part because it helps prevent the secrecy people often feel about an injury,as well as their reluctance to face emotions. 40 Thinking or talking about an event can lead to reflecting,where you become lost in your emotions.Writing forces you to slow down. The mere act of labeling a feeling-of putting words to an emotion-can lessen the nervous activity in the threat area of the brain. Writing can increase someone's acceptance of his experience,and acceptance is calming. A.Why write? B. What if you don't write? C.Expressive writing gives people the courage to face fears. D.It shouldn't be used as a replacement for other treatments. E.It can also help reduce pain and improve mood, sleep and memory. F.The first important step is to recognize what it is that is bothering you. G.Psychologists refer to writing about an unpleasant experience as“expressive writing”. 第三部分 语言知识运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every weekend, my father would go to the park to feed the homeless.

Sarah and Emily, best friends since kindergarten, had decided to work together on a project. They were both excited, but neither of them knew what to create. As the deadline drew closer, they still hadn't chosen a topic.“We need something amazing!”Sarah exclaimed. Emily nodded, but every idea they thought of seemed too simple or too complicated. Finally, Emily came up with an idea.“What if we build a volcano that really erupts?”she suggested. Sarah's eyes lit up. “That sounds perfect! Let's do it!” The next day, they gathered all the materials they needed-baking soda（小苏打）,vinegar，red food coloring, and clay to build the volcano. They spent hours after school working on it. Sarah shaped the volcano while Emily mixed the ingredients for the eruption. After several days of effort, their volcano was finally ready for testing.The girls were filled with excitement! as they poured the vinegar into the volcano. But instead of a big eruption, nothing happened. The volcano just fizzled a little, and they both stared at it in disappointment. “We must have done something wrong," Sarah said，feeling frustrated. Emily nodded but refused to give up. “Let's try again. We can make it work!” Over the next few days, they kept experimenting, adjusting the amounts of baking soda and vinegar, but each time,the results were disappointing.With the science fair only two days away, the pressure was building, and both girls were starting to feel discouraged. Then, on the evening before the fair, Emily had an idea. “What if we add dish soap（洗洁精） to the mixture?”she suggested. Sarah hesitated but agreed to try it. They made a final attempt, and this time, the volcano erupted just as they had imagined--a perfect， bubbly explosion of red lava flowing down the sides. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 On the day of the science fair,Sarah and Emily nervously set up their volcano.——————————————————————————————————————————————————————— After the fair, Sarah and Emily's teacher approached them,smiling.———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
