The following information will help you. B.O.B. B.O.B. is short for Bug of Bag (求生背包). It’s a bag with a collection of things that are needed for life in it. Reasons to use a B.O.B. When disaster (灾难) like earthquakes and heavy rainstorms happen, many people will have to run away from their homes and they may not return for a long time. They need to continue to live without food, water or a shelter in some unexpected situations. Things in a B.O.B. A sleeping bag, or at least a thin quilt. Drinking water. High-calorie foods, such as chocolate and biscuits. Necessary medicines. Something for making a fire, and a small pot to boil water or cook. A few basic tools like a knife and some ropes. A flashlight. Money. A copy of all your important papers. (Be sure to make a B.O.B. as light as possible.) Places to keep a B.O.B. You should put a B.O.B. at a place where you can get it conveniently when disasters happen. Your home, your car, or your office can be a good place to put it. A B.O.B. is very helpful to the people in need. You’d better prepare more than one B.O.B. if possible. Then think of the difference a B.O.B. will make if those disasters happen. So prepare one now. 26. A B.O.B. has a collection of things ________ in it. A. for research B. for traffic C. for life D. for study 27. Many people run away from their homes with a B.O.B. because ________. A. they have to save many people’s lives B. they have no other useful things to take C. they will be able to return in a short time D. they need to continue to live after disasters happen 28.

It’s better to prepare more than one B.O.B. if possible. D. People are advised to put some more clothes in a B.O.B. B Searching for parking spaces has long been a headache for many office workers in many big cities of China, especially for those working in central business districts. Parking near their companies for five days a week could cost them a lot of money. At the same time, even with prices for parking lots in residential areas（居民区） rising, most of their spaces remain idle during workdays. Now a new form of sharing economy has appeared in China—the shared parking space. It has become a huge market in some big cities. In Qingdao, a coastal city in Shandong, up to 10,000 personal parking spaces have been turned into shared ones with the help of “Airparking”, an online shared parking platform developed by a network company from Guangzhou. Users can share and order a parking place by downloading and using a special app. Owners who have idle parking spaces can share some information, including the parking position, license number and time limit on the platform. With the information, users can easily find the nearest place to park. The average parking cost for shared parking is 4 yuan each hour, almost the same as the service cost in traditional parking spaces. Qingdao is one of the Chinese cities that encourage shared parking. Some other big cites, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hefei, have also begun to try this idea. The Shanghai government, for example, has set up more than 6,500 shared parking spaces to encourage the public to use. Shared parking will be more and more helpful to the drivers. 29. The underlined word “idle” probably means ________ in Chinese in Paragraph 1. A. 懒散的 B. 降价的 C. 闲置的 D. 废弃的 30. If you want to use shared parking in Qingdao, you should ________. A. download and use a special app B. share your personal information C. have a parking space of your own D. work in central business districts 31. The structure（结构） of the passage is ________. A. B. C. D. 32. What can we infer from the passage？ A. Qingdao has fewer shared parking spaces than Shanghai. B. Shared parking will probably become more and more popular. C. Shared parking is less expensive than traditional parking service. D It’s hard to find parking spaces in residential areas during workdays. B Major Snow, the 21st solar term (节气) of the year, falls on Dec 7 this year. It means the beginning of midwinter. During Major Snow, the temperature drops greatly and there may be more snow days. The arrival of snow adds a delightful touch to the cold days. The snow in North China may go on a whole day, breaking tree branches and blocking the road while snow doesn’t happen a lot, but just a little, great fun in the South. The natural scenery is “ice blockading for hundred smiles and snow flying through thousands miles”, “From hill to hill no bird in flight; From path to path no man in sight”. In the South, the snowflakes fly around and the world turns white. There’s a Chinese saying: “A fall of snow gives promise of a fruitful year.” Most farmers welcome snow because snow can protect crops from cold fronts and keep the fields warm. Even if it melts (融化), it also can provide enough water for the crops in the spring. Snow season is also good for skiing and skating. In northern China, there are many places for natural snow and ice. For example, Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces often already have big snow in November. People can also go to the frozen lakes to play ice sports. But people in the south will stay indoors to enjoy the winter activities. People in Chongqing like to have potted lamb soup or stewed lamb soup with their families and friends. People in Nanjing like to stew the lamb with yams or wolfberries to make it more delicious. 33. How does the writer describe the beauty of snow? A. By giving examples. B. By introducing activities. C. By showing pictures. D. By using sayings and poems. 34. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 4? A. A fall of snow can lead to a fruitful year. B. A fall of snow can be dangerous to a fruitful year. C. A fall of snow can help farmers harvest much fruit. D. A fall of snow can prevent farmers from a good harvest. 35. What can we know about Major Snow from the passage? A. During Major Snow, the temperature falls greatly. B. Major Snow is the most beautiful term among all. C. People in the north like to stay indoors to enjoy the winter activities. D. All the farmers like snow because it can offer enough water to the crops. 36. The following paragraph can go best after _________. During Major Snow, it is drier and colder, so people should drink more water. At the same time, don’t drink cold water after exercise. A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5 D A winter morning, I was giving a talk on a square on Fifth Street. The wind was strong. There was an old man sitting in a chair in front of me. It seemed that he lost his legs. And I saw that when I told how Cookie, my dog, had saved my life, his eyes were filled with tears (泪水) and he nodded. When the talk was over, I walked towards him. He excitedly shook my hand. “I had a dog like your Cookie. The dog saved my life.” “Oh, what a good dog!” He nodded. “I lived in Greenwich Village and I had a dog that I raised and hunted with. When I took part in the Korean War (战争), I was hurt and lost the use of my legs. When I came back from the hospital, he was waiting. He spent the rest of his life by my side. I would be crazy without him. I could sit for hours and talk to him... ” His voice became lower, and his eyes were filled with tears again. “I still miss him very much.” I looked at him and then at the sky. My mind came back to the year of the Korean War. It was winter and the sunshine outside became warmer. I, a lonely 13-year-old child, was sitting next to a dog. The dog wore a card with a name—Ike around his neck. “Your dog,” I said. “Was he named Ike?” With eyes open wide, he nodded. “Why? Yes. But how...? Did you know him? ” That was why Cookie did not come back to me one day. He had another job, taking care of his sick owner. “Yes,” I said, turning to him. “Your dog saved my life. I met him when you were in the war. He was my best friend and I gave him a new name—Cookie.” 37. Why were the eyes of the old man filled with tears? A. It was cold outside and his legs hurt a lot. B. He really loved the story of the writer’s dog. C. He felt sad about what happened to the writer. D. The writer’s talk made him think of his dog Ike. 38. The old man felt ________ when he found that the writer knew his dog Ike. A. afraid B. unhappy C. surprised D. excellent 39. The dog did not come back to the writer because ________. A. he was lost in Greenwich Village B. he went back to wait for his sick owner C. he died in the Korean War when hunting outside D. he went to look after a lonely 13-year-old boy in the winter 40. What is the correct order of this story? ①I was giving a talk in public. ②I learnt that his dog Ike died. ③A man sitting in a chair was listening to me. ④I understood why my Cookie did not come back. ⑤The man talked about his dog with tears in his eyes. A. ③①②④⑤ B. ①③⑤②④ C. ③⑤②①④ D. ①⑤③④② 41. We can infer from the article that ________. A. the dog left the writer in the village B. the writer was the dog’s first owner C. Ike and Cookie were two similar dogs D. the two men talked about the same dog 五、六选五（共10分） Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness.

You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. ____44____ Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies. ____45____ Many people go dancing or play sports, such as skating or playing soccer.

This is what many young people in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city. City-walk is becoming more and more popular. City-walk is a special guided trip for a small group of people, or just a relaxing (令人放松的) walk for one or two to explore (探索) cities. City-walk is not about famous places of interest. It leads travellers to walk through the local markets, old streets and city centers in a relaxing way. Young people are interested in City-walk. They are always busy with study or work. and don’t have much time to explore the local city. However, the growing trend (趋势) of City-walk shows their changing idea towards life—they want a more relaxing and slower lifestyle. Besides, people can make some friends in walking. That’s why young people enjoy City-walk. When visiting a new city, travellers join the group of City-walk so that they can experience local life and culture. For example, City-walk tours in Nanjing may lead travellers to the Qinhuai River or old neighbourhoods like Xi’nan Li. In these places, travellers can feel the local lives, both in the past and now. At present, the idea of City-walk is new to most Chinese people. However, many people believe it has a bright future. Zhang Zhi is a tour guide from Beijing. He said, “Travellers nowadays are more and more interested in it.” Many tour guides share their City-walk experiences on the Internet to attract more customers (吸引顾客). “By looking at others’ lives in City-walk, we know ourselves better. This helps us find a sense of purpose (目标),” said Jin Yi, a teacher at Nanjing University. 67. What is City-walk? ______________________________________________________________________ 68.
