He loved animals, Legos and chocolate ice cream.‎ But in second grade, the bullying(欺凌) began.‎ ‎“Why don’t you brush your teeth? Why are your teeth so dirty?”‎ Although his teeth were healthy, they were yellow. He was also picked on because of his hair and the fact that he was smaller than most of the other boys. He was seen as weak and became a target(攻击的目标). As Peyton got older, he often wondered why people were so mean to him.‎ In the summer of 2014, I got a new teaching job in a better school district, but this meant Peyton would have to change schools. I helped him see that the bullies from his previous school would be a thing of the past; he was nervous but excited. As he started 8th grade at his new school, he met one boy with whom he had common interests and they became friends. However, the bullying continued at this school, too. Peyton was an easy target because he didn’t like what other kids liked. He was soon being called a “loser”. He was devastated. The difference was that he stopped telling me about the bullying.‎ On October 13, 2014, Peyton went into his room after we got home. I thought he just needed some time alone. After about 20 minutes, I went to check on him and that was when I found him.‎ After his death, I realized that, as educators, we’ve taught kids about bullies and bullying behavior. What we haven’t done, though, is teach them how to be kind to one another. I knew I had to do something. That was when Kindness Matters was born. I started it as a Facebook page with the purpose of sharing stories of kindness and advice on how to be kind to one another. To date, our Face book family has grown to over 29,000.‎ It is my deepest hope that we can change the culture of our society and leave all of the negativity(消极性) and name-calling behind.‎ ‎24. What do we know about Peyton when he was at school?‎ ‎ A. He suffered from a serious illness. B. He got along well with his classmates.‎ ‎ C. He dealt with bullying courageously. D. He was mistreated by other kids.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ ‎ A. Confident. B. Terribly sad. C. Unconcerned. D. Highly positive.‎ ‎26. What did the author want to do after Peyton was gone?‎ ‎ A. To teach kids to be nice. B. To build a foundation for him.‎ C. To help kids respond to bullying. D. To ask teachers to stop school bullying.‎ ‎27. How does the author sound when telling the story?‎ ‎ A. Cheerful and respectful. B. Excited but worried.‎ C. Sad but hopeful. D. Disappointed and angry.‎ C If you think of a country or city where temperatures are above ‎36℃‎ throughout the year, it’s hard to name a sport that would suit the climate.‎ If you do some research online, you will find that one sport that is enjoyed in many parts of the Middle East is camel racing. If you dig a little further, you will find something called falconry(鹰猎). it’s a tradition that dates back over 2,000 years when people used falcons(隼) to hunt for food. In the distant past, falcons would be caught in the autumn. Then they would be trained to catch food for their owners.‎ In recent years, falconry has been as popular as it once was. With the discovery of oil, deserts in the Middle East have been overtaken by major cities like Dubai. People who used to live and hunt in the desert have moved into those cities and chosen to forget some of their traditions. But in more recent years, there has been an increased interest in falconry. When you look at these birds of prey(猛禽), you may not be surprised. ‎ Royal families in the United Arab Emirates have been driving this renewed interest. One unusual area of sport involving birds of prey has been falcon racing. When hunting for prey, these birds can reach speeds of up to 300 kilometres in just 20 seconds.‎ It’s an expensive sport. Each expensive falcon comes with an expensive trainer. the birds are raised in special areas and trained continuously for several weeks before a race. During training, a close relationship develops between each bird and its trainer. The trainer has a special thick leather glove upon which the bird rests. Often, the birds are not fed before a race so they are hungrier and keen to catch their prey. Being hungry also makes the birds a little easier to control.‎ Thousands of people gather to experience and enjoy the sport every year, where twentieth-century excitement is mixed with the ancient traditions of the desert.‎ ‎28. What can we learn about falconry?‎ ‎ A. It has a long history. B. It involves catching falcons.‎ ‎ C. It is seldom seen in hot weather. D. It is more popular than camel racing.‎ ‎29. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?‎ ‎ A. The tradition of falconry. B. The rise and fall of falconry.‎ ‎ C. The change in the Middle East. D. The surprising facts about falcons.‎ ‎30. What should a falcon trainer do before a race?‎ ‎ A. Fly the bird in public areas. B. Prepare a beautiful glove.‎ ‎ C. Keep the bird hungry. D. Train the bird hard a week before.‎ ‎31. How do people look at falconry?‎ A. It is a waste of money. B. It is a friendly sport. ‎ C. It is full of uncertainty. D. It is attractive.‎ D Heimaey is a small island off the southern coast of Iceland of just 4,200 ‎ people. But with its neighboring islands, it hosts the world’s largest puffin colony(海鹦群). Each spring, more than 1.5 million puffins go to the islands to breed. Around August, puffin chicks make their way to the ocean. That’s when the trouble begins.‎ Instinct(直觉) tells puffin chicks to leave the nest at night and follow the light of the moon to the sea. But they are puzzled by Heimaey’s bright lights. Each year, a large number of them end up lost---or worse. Often, lost birds are hit by cars or eaten by cats.‎ Each breeding season, the children of Heimaey start their own middle-of-the-night adventure, which is called the Puffling Patrol. They get together to form search parties and take to the streets of Heimaey. “When you see a bird, you try to corner it and guide it into the box,” Eldur Hansen, a 14-year-old boy said. He has caught several puffins this way.‎ Then kids take birds home. The next morning, they take them to the beach for release(放走). Over the years, kids have even developed a gentle method. “You do not throw them like a baseball,” Eldur says. “You hold them in both hands. Then you spread your arms out in front of you and let go, so the bird is given as much energy as possible.”‎ Before releasing puffin chicks, they make a stop at the local animal center, where the birds are weighed and tagged(附上标签), for tracking purposes. This helps scientists learn more about puffins.‎ Erpur Hansen, Eldur’s dad, is with the South‎ East Iceland Nature Research ‎Center. “Thanks to data collected with kids’ help, we scientists have learned that puffin chicks now weigh less than in previous years. That means they have a lower chance of survival,” he says.‎ Scientists worry puffins will die out completely. But the kids of Heimaey give energy to Erpur Hansen. “The message is that people can make a difference,” he says. “Each time these kids help a bird get back to the ocean, they show us that.”‎ ‎32. What troubles puffin chicks according to the text?‎ ‎ A. Their nests being destroyed. ‎ B. Following the light of the moon.‎ ‎ C. Their parents being killed by humans. ‎ D. Being unable to find their way to the ocean.‎ ‎33. Which of the following can be used to describe kids from the Puffling Patrol?‎ ‎ A. Strict and shy. B. Careful and skillful. ‎ C. Sensitive and creative. D. Intelligent and talkative.‎ ‎34. What can we infer from Erpur Hansen’s words?‎ ‎ A. The Puffling Patrol is of great help. ‎ B. Scientists need little help from children.‎ ‎ C. Puffins do not need protection anymore.‎ ‎ D. Puffins are becoming stronger than before.‎ ‎35. What can we learn from the children’s behaviour?‎ ‎ A. Never stop trying. B. One is never too old to learn.‎ ‎ C. An act of kindness can mean a lot. D. Everyone should realize their self-worth.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每题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。‎ Now there’s a supermarket on almost every street corner. And that’s no surprise. _36_We no longer have to walk up and down the high street to get our weekly supplies---we can do it all in one place. There’s greater choice too with some supermarkets offering up to 40,000 different products. So it seems that ‎ everyone’s a winner._37_‎ Actually, many of the things that make supermarkets so attractive come with hidden costs. For example, supermarkets are now so powerful that they can more or less decide what they want to pay their suppliers. They can have a destructive influence on farmers and other producers.‎ ‎_38_ In smaller towns where supermarkets open, local stores are often driven out of business because they cannot compete on price. In 2006, the town of Inverness in Scotland was called “Tescotown” because more than 50% of every $1 spent on food was spent in one of its stores.‎ ‎_39_ Supermarkets say they buy lots of their fresh produce from local suppliers. But even if they do, it will probably make a journey of hundreds of miles through packing plants and distribution centers before it gets to customers. Sometimes it’s much farther than that.‎ ‎_40_ A recent report suggests that the food industry is responsible for a third of all greenhouse emissions. In fact, surveys have shown that one supermarket emits more CO2 than 60 small shops.‎ There’s no doubt that supermarkets have changed the way we shop, but are we paying too much in the end.‎ A. Local shops can suffer too.‎ B. But as always---it’s not quite that simple.‎ C. After all, supermarkets offer a lot of advantages.‎ D. And all of this is damaging the environment, too.‎ E. Many supermarkets buy their apples from faraway places.‎ F. Many people also worry about where the food comes from.‎ G. Now many people try to stop supermarkets opening in their cities.‎ 第三部分： 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ The earth gives us life.
