B Also known as the Big Apple,New York City was a foreign place that I had never visited before.From movies and media,I conceived (the idea that the city would be busy and run-down and that the people would be rude and loud.That all changed,however,when my family and I went on a road trip there in July of 2016.When we reached New York,we walked around the city,looking at the amazing buildings,the wonderful museums,and the restaurants lining the streets. Later that day,we decided to join in a tour of the Empire State Building.Standing just outside,I felt like a little ant looking up at the 1,250-1,454-foot building.We went to the top and though I had a preconceived idea that the city was crowded,dark,and dirty,the view from above all the buildings was breath-taking and made me realize I was wrong,for the first time. 第6页，共12页 Afterward,we visited Grand Central Terminal and I was able to see people run around and go about their day,which proved one of my beliefs that New Yorkers are always busy. However,this was soon invalidated(证明.错误)when we passed Bryant Park and I saw so many people reading,having picnics,and simply enjoying their day. The following day,we traveled to Times Square.To my surprise,most of the people there seemed to be locals selling photos with childhood cartoons and characters from different movies and television shows,which I had never seen before and thought was somewhat strange. After three days,our trip sadly came to an end.Despite being on opposite ends of the East Coast,I noticed that Marietta and New York City had many similarities within their communities. What I knew about New York City was based on stereotypes(刻板印象)and the opinions of others;I now know I should make my judgments with my personal experiences instead of making assumptions. 56.What did the author think of New York City before he visited it? A.It was modern.B.It was messy. C.It was large. D.It was unpopular. 57.What first led the author to change his opinion on New York City? A.The view from the top of the Empire State Building. B.The busy lifestyle of the people in Times Square. C.The noise in Grand Central Terminal. D.The friendly locals in Bryant Park. 58.How did the author feel when he passed Bryant Park? A.Uncomfortable.B.Disappointed. C.Surprised. D.Satisfied. 59.What did the user find unexpected about Times Square? A.It was quieter than expected. B.Most people were locals selling photos with characters. C.It was full of expensive luxury stores. D.Most people were tourists taking photos. 60.What did the author learn from the trip? A.Seeing is believing. B.Easy come,easy go. C.Actions speak louder than words. D.When in Rome,do as the Romans do. C 第7页，共12页 Average age is rising around the world一a demographic(人口统计)change that may pose a significant challenge to efforts to slow down climate change Hossein Estiri at Harvard University and Emilio Zagheni of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research,Germany,have found that energy use increases as we get older,and not just because we tend to get wealthier.An ageing population could mean a greater proportion of society with higher energy use,their study suggests. They combined two decades,worth of data from thousands of US households and used this to build a model to reveal how energy use varied across 17 age groups between 1987 and 2009.They found that,on average,children's energy consumption climbs as they grow up, before dipping slightly when they leave home.Consumption then rises again when people hit their 30s,before briefly dropping after 55,and then beginning to climb again.The study involved factors such as income,local climate and the age,type and size of a person's home. The increase in energy use at various points in our lifespan (seems to be the result of life style and how our needs change as we age. Why does demand grow so much in our 30s?"We need more of everything.More space, a bigger TV two fridges,"says Estiri.The study found that,in warmer parts of the US,energy use increases in people over the age of 65-probably as a result of increased use of air conditioning.This suggests that there is a feedback effect between climate change and an ageing population that will only make matters worse. Heat waves have become more common in the US in recent years and are expected to become more frequent due to global warming.More older people using more electrical energy to keep cool as temperatures rise could add to emissions ()and thus drive more warming until our energy supply becomes entirely fossil fuel-free. "This confluence (of population,ageing and climate change on energy demand is really important to start thin king about,"says Estiri.Benjamin Sovacool at the University of Sussex,UK,says the work shows the importance of demographics when it comes to cutting carbon emissions.Most modelling of climate change mitigation(减缓气候变化的模型) assumes people's energy consumption either stays the same or only changes by a small amount over time. "This study directly challenges that entire body of research by forcing it to fight with the temporality and complexity of the consumption of energy,"says Sovacool. 第8页，共12页 Catherine Mitchell at the University of Exeter,UK,says the research could have an important influence on policy makers."What the paper says is that there is a lot of work about how buildings use energy,but probably not enough about how the people in them use energy," she says 61.By saying"not just because we tend to get wealthier"in Paragraph 2,the writer probably means that A.poor people can't bring down the high demand for energy B.a comfortable life is not the main cause of increased energy use C.there are some other reasons leading to the increase in energy consumption D.people being wealthy or not has nothing to do with the rise of energy consumption 62.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph3? A.Children consumes more energy when they leave home. B.Energy consumption drops briefly before people hit 55. C.The researchers built a model to study the data from US households. D.Energy consumption varies with the change of lifestyle and demand at different ages. 63.Which of the following statements is Hossein Estiri most likely to support? A.Energy will stop increasing when people get older. B.His research could inspire policymakers to change current policies. C.Various factors influencing energy consumption should be considered. D.Old people should use fossil,fuel-free rather than electrical energy to keep cool. 64.What is the shortcoming of most modeling of climate change mitigation? A.It is expensive and difficult to promote. B.It overestimates the household energy consumption. C.It did not take climate change adaptation into account. D.It regards energy consumption as stable or as only slightly changing. 65.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.More emphasis should be put on people's energy use B.The government can't do much without the support of the study. C.It is the buildings,not the people in side,that consume the majority of the energy. D.Policymakers have been working on how to cut down people's energy use. 第9页，共12页 D When people learn to play video games,they are learning a new literacy.Of course,this is not the way the word"literacy"is normally used.Traditionally,people think of literacy as the ability to read and write.Why,then,should we think of literacy more broadly? Nowadays,language is not the only important communication system.Images,graphs, diagrams and many other visual symbols are particularly significant.Thus,the idea of different types of "visual literacy"would seem to be an important one.For example,being able to read the images in advertising is one type of visual literacy. Furthermore,very often today words and images of various sorts are juxtaposed in a variety of ways.In newspapers and magazines as well as in textbooks,images take up more and more of the space alongside words.In fact,in many modern high school and college textbooks, images not only take up more space,they now carry meanings that are independent of the words in the text.If you can't read these images,you will not be able to understand their meanings from the words in the text as was more usual in the past. Now there are different ways to read different types of texts.Literacy is multiple,then,in the sense that the legal literacy needed for reading law books is not the same as the literacy needed for reading physics texts or cartoon books.And we should not be too quick to dismiss the latter form of literacy.Many cartoon books are full of images that would make a modern literary critic's heart beat fast and confuse any otherwise normal adult. Once we see this multiplicity of literacy,we realize that when we think about reading and writing,we have to think beyond print.Reading and writing in any field,whether it is law,rap songs,academic essays or cartoon books,are not the only ways of decoding()print.Video games are a new form of art.They will not replace books;they will sit beside them,interact with them,and change them and their role in society in various ways,as,indeed,they are already doing strongly with movies.We have no idea yet how people "read"video games,what meanings they make from them.Still less do we know how they will "read"them in the future. 66.What is the broad meaning of literacy? A.The ability to read,write and view. B.The ability to read,listen and play. C.The ability to speak,write and think. D.The ability to listen,speak and think. 67.What does the underlined word "juxtaposed"mean in Paragraph 3? A.Put together. B.Pulled out. C.Taken away.D.Replaced with. 第10页，共12页 68.How would cartoon books probably make a modern literary critic feel? A.Proud. B.Upset. C.Grateful. D.Curious. 69.The author says that video games A.are too violent to risk experimenting with for the purposes of understanding literacy B.are unrealistic and should not fall into the same categories as the other texts he describes C.are not yet entirely understood in terms of literacy,but are already impacting other forms of expression such as filmmaking D.are irrelevant in academic discussion because no one has yet determined how to explain the ways that people understand them 70.In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A.Education. B.Health. C.Advertisement.D.Traveling. 第Ⅱ卷（满分35分） 五、阅读表达：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) What I love most about travelling isn't seeing the famous landmarks or eating great food. It's watching my mom gasp (at something beautiful and unexpected.In Yellowknife,it was the bright aurora ()In Japan,it was 3,000 cherry trees.To get to them,we had to travel great distances and time our trips just right.All of them were better because we saw them together. When I tell people how much I like to travel with my mom,they often feel surprised.We expect parents to show their children the world.When children become older,things are different.Many of them prefer travelling with friends.They no longer have to see the world through their parents. When I was a little girl,my mother was my teacher.She is responsible for everything that makes me a good person.She's kind and patient but she has little time to relax.So,at 23,I booked two tickets to Yellowknife.We would explore the world as friends;I could help my mother to see the world,on her own terms. Our trips are not without hard times.We've gotten on the wrong train,encountered wild animals,and even lost our passports.My mom often stayed cooler than I did.I have never regretted any of the trips with my mother.Before our trips,I had no idea how much my mom loved the mountains.Most of all,I never knew I could love her as a friend. 第11页，共12页 71.What does the author love most about travelling?(no more than 10 words) 72.How do you understand the underlined part in paragraph 3?(no more than 5 words) 73.How did the author's mom act when they came to hard times during the trips?(no more than 10 words) 74.What was the most important thing the author realized after the trips?(no more than 10 words) 75.What kind of people do you like to travel with?Please explain.(no more than 25words) 六、书面表达：（共1题，满分25分） A:15n安 Ais a rea octh论vemen!
