When you choose a friend, you should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends (酒肉朋友). They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错)in others. He notices their good points. In short, good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!
4. If you have fair-weather friends, ________.
A. you will become rich
B. you can be sure that you get real friends
C. you will be refused when you get into trouble
D. they will give you all that they have when you need help

Usually, tornadoes are more common in the spring and summer months. Knowing what to do before and during a tornado can save your life and the life of your loved ones. When you hear that you are in a tornado watch, it means that tornadoes or other kinds of dangerous weather are on the way. You need to be ready to go to a safe shelter if tornadoes do happen or if there is a warning. Listen to local radio or TV programmes for the update so that you have information to make decisions about your safety.
Tornado warnings mean that a tornado has been seen, or that radar has shown there would be a tornado. When a tornado warning is issued for your town or county, take shelter immediately. Tornado sirens (警报器) warn people who are outdoors. Do not expect to hear sirens if you are indoors. Listen to weather reports and watch TV if you are indoors. Remember to have fresh batteries for your radios and flashlights.
Plan ahead for tornado watches and warnings. Talk to your family, friends and neighbours so that you know safe places to go to get out of danger. Here are some important tips:
·Take shelter in a basement, away from any windows.
If you are in a house or building with no basement, go to the lowest floor, a small centre room such as a bathroom or closet, under the stairs, or in an inside hallway with no windows.
·If you are in a mobile home or trailer, plan ahead and get out!
It is not safe to be in a mobile home or trailer during a tornado. You need to make plans with family, friends or neighbours to go to a safer, stronger home or another building to take shelter.
·It is very risky to be in a car or truck during a tornado.
Know if there are tornado watches in the area and avoid driving into dangerous situations. Instead, take shelter in a basement or strong building.
·Have an emergency kit ready and keep it in your safe area.
A few ideas for things to have in an emergency kit would be water, a flashlight, food (like crackers, peanut butter, granola bars), a radio that uses batteries, any medications you need, and a first-aid kit.
If you need any further information about preparing for the tornado season or making an emergency kit, call the Four Corners Health Department at (402) 362-2621 or click here to view the web site http://www.yorknewstimes.com.
8. If you are told that you’re in a tornado watch,________.
A. it means that you should wear your watch B. it means tornadoes are possible in the area
C. it means that you have found a safe shelter D. it means tornadoes will leave where you are
9. What should you do when you are in a trailer and a tornado comes?
A You should remain still in the running trailer.
B. You should find a bathroom to hide in.
C. You should turn to friends or neighbors for help.
D. You should get into a building to shelter yourself.
10. What is the passage mainly about?

A computer program has been used to predict how people are feeling when they type.
In a study participants were asked to type a particular phrase and the program then estimated if they were happy, sad and so on. Surprisingly it was correct 70 per cent of the time, and the findings could lead to smarter artificial intelligence in the future.
The study published in the journal Behavior and Information Technology was carried out by researchers at the Islamic University of Technology in Bangladesh, reports Live Science.
In the research 25 people ranging from 15 to 40 years old were asked to retype two paragraphs from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland written by Lewis Carroll. They also had to enter their emotional state every 30 minutes while doing their regular activities on the computer. This allowed the program an opportunity to understand how their emotions changed their typing style.
Moods tested were joy, fear, anger, sadness, hate, and shame. The result was that the program could identify(识别) a person' s mood correctly 70 per cent of the time. It was most successful in identifying joyfulness with an 87 per cent success ratio, while sadness was the least successful at 60 per cent. The researchers found that the participants were less likely to input (输入) data when they were in a bad mood, which may explain the inexactness of the second result.
However, the findings could have great importance for artificial intelligence, and it may allow computers to get along with us in a friendlier manner, “If we could build any system that is intelligent enough to communicate with humans that is, it can identify user emotions and change its behavior accordingly then using machines could be more effective and friendly.” the researchers wrote.
12. Who conducted the study?
A. Lewis Carroll. B. Islamic University of Technology.
C. Live Science. D. Behavior and Information Technology.
13. What were people asked to do during the research?
A. Input words and emotional state. B. Change their typing styles.
C. Change their feelings frequently. D. Show their natural feelings.
14. Why is the result about sadness not so correct?
A. People usually hide their unhappy feelings.
B. The program cannot recognize sadness clearly.
C. The program cannot calculate the data correctly.
D. It's more difficult to collect data when people are sad.
15. What's the importance of the research result?
A It helps people develop smarter machines.
B. It helps people speed up their typing speed.
C. It will inspire similar studies on people's mood.
D. It clearly explains the relationship between mood and typing.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲了据《生活科学》报道,发表在《行为与信息技术》杂志上,由孟加拉国伊斯兰科技大学的研究人员进行的一项研究表明,一种计算机程序可以用来预测人们打字时的感受。这项研究结果可以帮助人们开发更智能的机器。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段The study published in the journal Behavior and Information Technology was carried out by researchers at the Islamic University of Technology in Bangladesh, reports Live Science.(据《生活科学》报道,这项研究发表在《行为与信息技术》杂志上,由孟加拉国伊斯兰科技大学的研究人员进行。)由此可知,伊斯兰科技大学主持了这项研究。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段In the research 25 people ranging from 15 to 40 years old were asked to retype two paragraphs from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland written by Lewis Carroll. They also had to enter their emotional state every 30 minutes while doing their regular activities on the computer.(在这项研究中,25名年龄在15到40岁之间的人被要求重新键入Lewis Carroll写的《爱丽丝梦游仙境》中的两段文字。他们还必须每隔30分钟输入情绪状态,同时在电脑上进行日常活动。)由此可知,在研究过程中,人们被要求输入文字和情绪状态。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段The researchers found that the participants were less likely to input (输入) data when they were in a bad mood, which may explain the inexactness of the second result.(研究人员发现,当参与者心情不好时,他们不太可能输入数据,这可以解释第二个结果的不准确性。)由此可知,关于悲伤的结果不是那么准确是因为当人们悲伤时,收集数据就比较困难了。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段However, the findings could have great importance for artificial intelligence, and it may allow computers to get along with us in a friendlier manner, “If we could build any system that is intelligent enough to communicate with humans that is, it can identify user emotions and change its behavior accordingly then using machines could be more effective and friendly.” the researchers wrote.(然而,这些发现可能对人工智能有重要意义,它可能允许计算机与我们以更友好的方式相处,“如果我们能建立任何足够聪明的和人类交流的系统,也就是说,它可以识别用户的情绪,并相应地改变其行为,然后可以更有效和友好的使用机器。”研究人员写道。)由此推知,研究结果的重要性在于帮助人们开发更智能的机器。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了亚马逊雨林的基本情况、生物多样性、生态重要性以及面临的威胁。
【36题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:亚马逊雨林是世界上最大的雨林,横跨南美洲的巴西和秘鲁等八个国家。根据句意和定冠词the可知,此处用形容词最高级largest作定语,修饰名词rainforest。故填largest。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它的面积约为550万平方公里。结合语意可知,此处表示泛指,用不定冠词,area是以元音音素开头,用不定冠词an。故填an。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它以亚马逊河命名,亚马逊河长约6400公里,支持许多不同的生态系统,使该地区拥有地球上最丰富的生物多样性,世界上已知物种的十分之一生活在这里。空格处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是the Amazon River,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,用关系代词which。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它以亚马逊河命名,亚马逊河长约6400公里,支持许多不同的生态系统,使该地区拥有地球上最丰富的生物多样性,世界上已知物种的十分之一生活在这里。空处作非谓语动词,support与逻辑主语The Amazon River是主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填supporting。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:亚马逊雨林里有各种各样的植物。variety“种类”是可数名词,固定短语varieties of“各种各样的”。故填varieties。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:森林的不同层次为难以置信的各种各样的野生动物提供食物和庇护所。空处修饰名词variety,应使用形容词unbelievable作定语,意为“难以置信的”。故填unbelievable。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:其中包括美洲虎,尽管在其他地区濒临灭绝,但它们仍能在这里生存。介词短语among them置于句首,句子用完全倒装结构,主语the jaguar是单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式,根据句意可知,句子描述现在的事实用一般现在时,be动词使用is。故填is。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:亚马逊雨林不仅是众多动植物的家园,还被称为“地球之肺”,因为它通过固定碳和产生地球上20%以上的氧气为地球注入活力。固定短语be known as“被称为”。故填as。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:但在过去的50年里,由于人类活动,17%的雨林已经消失。根据时间状语over the past 50 years可知,用现在完成时,主语17 per cent of the rainforest是单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式,故填has disappeared。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:一些物种也有灭绝的危险。介词of后接名词extinction作宾语,意为“灭绝”,是不可数名词。故填extinction。

第二节 文章续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
“It’s not looking too good, darling, I think you’d better pack a few things and go to your mother’s place. And you’d better take Rosie and Monty with you.”
Putting down the phone, Sara sighed. Tomorrow was her husband Tony’s birthday. She had planned to cook him a nice meal and then surprise him with the new mountain bike she’d bought for him. If she went to her mother’s house, Tony wouldn’t get his present for days.
However, her mother’s house was the best place to be right now. Being on higher land, it would be safe from the floods. It had been raining heavily for almost two weeks and the river near Sara and Tony’s house was rising higher and higher all the time. Tony and others from the village had spent the last two days putting sandbags along the side of the river to stop it from overflowing. Now they feared that their hard work had been useless and soon the whole valley would be flooded.
Sara dressed baby James in warm clothes and collected the things she would need for him over the next few days. She put the lead on the dog and went in search of Monty, the cat. It took her a long time, but eventually she found him safe and warm under the covers on her bed. She placed him in his cat basket and took him into the kitchen where James and the dog, Rosie, were waiting.
Just as she was reaching for the car keys, Sarah heard a sound like the noise bath water makes when you pull out the plug. She looked at the backdoor, water was flowing in underneath. Turning around, she saw dirty brown water fountaining out of the drain and filling the sink. Realizing that they were trapped by the flood and it became impossible for her to drive out, quickly she put James into her backpack and pulled onto her back. Calling to Rosie, she picked up the cat basket and ran to the front of the house and out into the front garden, where the car was parked.
注意:
1.所续写的短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
The water was already up to her knees, and Rosie was swimming beside her.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Sara, together with James, Rosie and Monty, was hungry and frightened on the roof of the house when a boat appeared in the distance.
_____________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The water was already up to her knees. Rosie was swimming beside her. Knowing the water would soon be much deeper Sara ran to the car and opened the doors. She threw the cat basket onto the roof of the car and pushed Rosie up beside it. Using the car seat as a step she climbed first onto the front of the car and then onto the roof. James, safely attached to her back, made no sound at all.Sara stared down at the water which was rushing past the car. It was already half way up the doors, and still rising.
Sara, together with James, Rosie and Monty, was hungry and frightened on the roof of the house when a boat appeared in the distance.They were extremely happy and shouted at the boat “here!here!”,but the boat seemed not to head for their direction. Roise was worried and anxious, then they four shouted at the boat together “help!help! here we are”. Luckily, the people on the boat replied to them. They were rescued and the warm—hearted people sent them to Rosie mother’s place. They showed their sincere gratitude to the people who helped them in need.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知,由于洪水Roise不得不去妈妈家避难,但正在她准备带着孩子们上车时,洪水淹没了她们的家,她们被洪水困住了,由此展开后面的故事。
【详解】续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:水已经淹到她的膝盖了。罗西在她旁边游泳……所以接下来应该描述她们是怎么自救的。第二段开头是:萨拉、詹姆斯、罗西和蒙蒂在房顶上又饿又害怕,这时远处出现了一条船。本段应该写她们是不是得救了,远处的船是否过来帮助了他们。注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右,情节完整且要符合逻辑。最后按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当,使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如:be attached to,pushed sb up,together with等高级词汇;定语从句They showed their sincere gratitude to the people who helped them in need.以及动名词作伴随状语Using the car seat as a step she climbed first onto the front of the car and then onto the roof.,James, safely attached to her back, made no sound at all等高级句式。

When you choose a friend, you should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends (酒肉朋友). They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错)in others. He notices their good points. In short, good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!
4. If you have fair-weather friends, ________.
A you will become rich
B. you can be sure that you get real friends
C. you will be refused when you get into trouble
D. they will give you all that they have when you need help

Usually, tornadoes are more common in the spring and summer months. Knowing what to do before and during a tornado can save your life and the life of your loved ones. When you hear that you are in a tornado watch, it means that tornadoes or other kinds of dangerous weather are on the way. You need to be ready to go to a safe shelter if tornadoes do happen or if there is a warning. Listen to local radio or TV programmes for the update so that you have information to make decisions about your safety.
Tornado warnings mean that a tornado has been seen, or that radar has shown there would be a tornado. When a tornado warning is issued for your town or county, take shelter immediately. Tornado sirens (警报器) warn people who are outdoors. Do not expect to hear sirens if you are indoors. Listen to weather reports and watch TV if you are indoors. Remember to have fresh batteries for your radios and flashlights.
Plan ahead for tornado watches and warnings. Talk to your family, friends and neighbours so that you know safe places to go to get out of danger. Here are some important tips:
·Take shelter in a basement, away from any windows.
If you are in a house or building with no basement, go to the lowest floor, a small centre room such as a bathroom or closet, under the stairs, or in an inside hallway with no windows.
·If you are in a mobile home or trailer, plan ahead and get out!
It is not safe to be in a mobile home or trailer during a tornado. You need to make plans with family, friends or neighbours to go to a safer, stronger home or another building to take shelter.
·It is very risky to be in a car or truck during a tornado.
Know if there are tornado watches in the area and avoid driving into dangerous situations. Instead, take shelter in a basement or strong building.
·Have an emergency kit ready and keep it in your safe area.
A few ideas for things to have in an emergency kit would be water, a flashlight, food (like crackers, peanut butter, granola bars), a radio that uses batteries, any medications you need, and a first-aid kit.
If you need any further information about preparing for the tornado season or making an emergency kit call the Four Corners Health Department at (402) 362-2621 or click here to view the web site http://www.yorknewstimes.com.
8. If you are told that you’re in a tornado watch,________.
A. it means that you should wear your watch B. it means tornadoes are possible in the area
C. it means that you have found a safe shelter D. it means tornadoes will leave where you are
9. What should you do when you are in a trailer and a tornado comes?
A. You should remain still in the running trailer.
B. You should find a bathroom to hide in.
C. You should turn to friends or neighbors for help.
D. You should get into a building to shelter yourself.
10. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How tornadoes come about. B. What tornadoes lead to.
C. What to do before and during a tornado. D. When and where tornadoes occur.
11. Where can we probably read the passage?
A. In a magazine. B. In a newspaper. C. On a website. D. In an advertisement.
D
A computer program has been used to predict how people are feeling when they type.
In a study participants were asked to type a particular phrase and the program then estimated if they were happy, sad and so on. Surprisingly it was correct 70 per cent of the time, and the findings could lead to smarter artificial intelligence in the future.
The study published in the journal Behavior and Information Technology was carried out by researchers at the Islamic University of Technology in Bangladesh, reports Live Science.
In the research 25 people ranging from 15 to 40 years old were asked to retype two paragraphs from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland written by Lewis Carroll. They also had to enter their emotional state every 30 minutes while doing their regular activities on the computer. This allowed the program an opportunity to understand how their emotions changed their typing style.
Moods tested were joy, fear, anger, sadness, hate, and shame. The result was that the program could identify(识别) a person' s mood correctly 70 per cent of the time. It was most successful in identifying joyfulness with an 87 per cent success ratio, while sadness was the least successful at 60 per cent. The researchers found that the participants were less likely to input (输入) data when they were in a bad mood, which may explain the inexactness of the second result.
However, the findings could have great importance for artificial intelligence, and it may allow computers to get along with us in a friendlier manner, “If we could build any system that is intelligent enough to communicate with humans that is, it can identify user emotions and change its behavior accordingly then using machines could be more effective and friendly.” the researchers wrote.
12. Who conducted the study?
A. Lewis Carroll. B. Islamic University of Technology.
C. Live Science. D. Behavior and Information Technology.
13 What were people asked to do during the research?
A. Input words and emotional state. B. Change their typing styles.
C. Change their feelings frequently. D. Show their natural feelings.
14. Why is the result about sadness not so correct?
A. People usually hide their unhappy feelings.
B. The program cannot recognize sadness clearly.
C. The program cannot calculate the data correctly.
D. It's more difficult to collect data when people are sad.
15. What's the importance of the research result?
A. It helps people develop smarter machines.
B. It helps people speed up their typing speed.
C. It will inspire similar studies on people's mood.
D. It clearly explains the relationship between mood and typing.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
“It’s not looking too good, darling, I think you’d better pack a few things and go to your mother’s place. And you’d better take Rosie and Monty with you.”
Putting down the phone, Sara sighed. Tomorrow was her husband Tony’s birthday. She had planned to cook him a nice meal and then surprise him with the new mountain bike she’d bought for him. If she went to her mother’s house, Tony wouldn’t get his present for days.
However, her mother’s house was the best place to be right now. Being on higher land, it would be safe from the floods. It had been raining heavily for almost two weeks and the river near Sara and Tony’s house was rising higher and higher all the time. Tony and others from the village had spent the last two days putting sandbags along the side of the river to stop it from overflowing. Now they feared that their hard work had been useless and soon the whole valley would be flooded.
Sara dressed baby James in warm clothes and collected the things she would need for him over the next few days. She put the lead on the dog and went in search of Monty, the cat. It took her a long time, but eventually she found him safe and warm under the covers on her bed. She placed him in his cat basket and took him into the kitchen where James and the dog, Rosie, were waiting.
Just as she was reaching for the car keys, Sarah heard a sound like the noise bath water makes when you pull out the plug. She looked at the backdoor, water was flowing in underneath. Turning around, she saw dirty brown water fountaining out of the drain and filling the sink. Realizing that they were trapped by the flood and it became impossible for her to drive out, quickly she put James into her backpack and pulled onto her back. Calling to Rosie, she picked up the cat basket and ran to the front of the house and out into the front garden, where the car was parked.
注意:

The water was already up to her knees, and Rosie was swimming beside her.
