Objects began to fall down from overhead and rising above the crashes, he could hear terrified screams all around him. Several months later, the painter from Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley remembers that day more vividly than his wedding day or the birth of his son.‎ It was on April 25, 2015 that an earthquake hit Nepal, the former Himalayan kingdom out of sight between its giant neighbors China and India, 81 years after a similar disaster. This killer quake and after-shocks that continued for more than a month afterward killed over 8, 000 people, destroyed thousands of houses, and ruined an economy already damaged by many other reasons.‎ It was also of consequence for the ancient art style Nepali painters such as Lama have been practicing for generations. “We left our homes and lived in the open fields outside the city, under tarpaulins（防水油布 ） for a month, ” Lama said. “ Many of the houses, built of mud and bricks, were in ruins and the aftershocks continued, though less frequently. One day, I went to my showroom to get some of the paintings out and the Earth started shaking again. I dropped everything and ran out for my life. ”‎ Dinesh Lama, a 32-year-old artist from Nepal ’ s capital city, Kathmandu, said his Boudha Stupa Thangka Center, which functions as his showroom as well as his studio, has remained shut since the earthquake, as his artisans are too traumatized（心理受到创伤的）to take up the brush again. “We lived in temporary tents for more than a month,” he said. “When they try to sit inside the studio and paint, fear makes their hands shake. Luckily, we have got a lot of aid from China. I believe we will come back to our home soon. ”‎ 1. What can we conclude from the second paragraph?‎ A. The April 25 earthquake made Nepal disappear for long.‎ B. Nepal also suffered a serious disaster due to the 1934 quake.‎ C. This quake caused more deaths than the one 81 years ago.‎ D. The earthquake is the only reason for Nepal being backward.‎ 2. What made Dinesh Lama worried most?‎ A. That his showroom had been totally destroyed.‎ B. That his artisans were incapable of working.‎ C. That he couldn’t sell his works as usual.‎ D. That he would never pick up his brush to draw.‎ 3. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. An earthquake that brought damage to ancient art.‎ B. An artist who is highly optimistic.‎ C. A great country that offers timely help.‎ D. A lesson that urges us to be brave.‎ B Italy and China has agreed to jointly advance the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) ( 一带 一 路 ), which aims to build a trade and construction network to connect Asia with Europe and Africa along ancient trade routes. Italy will use this opportunity to cooperate with China to develop its northern ports and the InvestItalia program, and promote cooperation in all fields.‎ Despite some doubt, the BRI has developed into one of the world's largest cooperation platforms and become a hot public good. More than 120 countries and 29 international organizations have signed agreements with China up to date, bringing all sorts of development opportunities to parties of the BRI, including the construction of Kenya's first high-speed expressway, the first cross-sea bridge in the Maldives, and the formation of the car industry in Belarus.‎ The inclusion of Italy into the BRI makes Italy the first G7 country to formally join the Initiative, and sets a new milestone in the process of building the Belt and Road.‎ What makes the BRI unique is that it is an urge for win-win cooperation rather than zero-sum competition. As everyone knows, the BRI has its origin in the ancient Silk Road trade route that linked China with many places in the world, including the Italian cities of Rome and Venice. Italy is a natural fit for the ambitious project because of its historical connections with China, and also because of the need to be open rather than closed, to cooperate rather than confront. In this fast-changing world, seeking win-win progress is the best path forward for all countries.‎ In China, it is said that without a big breakthrough in thinking, there will be no big leap in practice; and without a big leap in practice, there will be no great development. A number of Chinese ideas and initiatives have been formed with the goal of building a community of common fate in mind. Under the BRI, we can expect China to deepen policy cooperation, facilities connectivity, free trade, financial combination, and people-to-people bonds.‎ The revival of China as a great power is a blessing to the world, contributing to the building of a better world.‎ 1. How does the author develop the second paragraph?‎ A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons.‎ C. By reasoning and analyzing. D. By describing important events.‎ 2. What can we learn from the last but one paragraph?‎ A. China has become a superpower. B. China puts others' interests before its own.‎ C. China has been seeking development for all D. China is well-known for its traditional ideas.‎ 3. What does the underlined part “zero-sum competition” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Only one participant will win B. None of the participants will win C. All participants will gain something D.Some participants will win at the cost of others 4. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. The revival of China as a great power B. Italy and China reached an agreement on BRI C. A milestone in building BRI has been set D. Construction along ancient trade routes C Apple and Microsoft each launched new products. One company astonished everyone. The other made people sleepy. Can you guess which was which? You probably guessed wrong. Because Apple, famous for its creative products, was the tech giant whose new product caused a collective shrug. While Microsoft, which stole a move out of the Apple Playbook, won cheers from high-end, creative-class consumers like business analysts, media designers and music producers.‎ As Hayley Tsukayama remarked at The Washington Post, the Surface Studio, one of Microsoft's new products, is really just a super-sized version of the Surface Books product that Microsoft has been selling for years. But if you've ever watched science fiction movies like Minority report--where Tom Cruise seems to operate pictures and data hanging on mid-air by touching them, spreading his fingers to increase on details, and sending files and information sliding from one folder to another with a click of the fingers, you can see how Microsoft is trying to show the same experience.‎ Meanwhile, apple's new products were almost like some fine promotions for its Apple TV. They boast that the new Macbook Pros has a smaller size and more functions, and a new touch screen bar on laptop keyboards where function keys used to be.‎ So what's going on? In many ways, Apple is focusing on attracting the average consumers who have been attracted by Microsoft. And Microsoft is focusing on targeting the high-end professionals Apple has historically been associated with. You can even see this is the companies' ad campaigns: Microsoft's ads stress imagination and creativity, while Apple ’ s commercial chief performance and convenience of its Macbooks.‎ So Apple is trying to control the world of devices and laptops from the top down, starting with the high-end market and moving on to appeal to a broader base of consumers. Microsoft, having already strengthened itself within the bigger low-end market, is now attempting the opposite with a bottom-up strategy. Will these succeed? Time will tell...‎ 1. Why does the author mention the science fiction movie in Paragraph 2?‎ A. To show how trendy Microsoft’s new products are.‎ B. To tell us Microsoft's new products can be used in movies.‎ C. To encourage more people to see the science fiction movie.‎ D. To show Microsoft’s new products are inspired by the movie. 29.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs of the text?‎ A. Apple is changing its focus on consumer groups from average to high-end ones.‎ B. Microsoft is changing its focus on consumer groups from high-end to average ones.‎ C. The two companies are adopting totally different business strategies from their own before.‎ D. The two companies are facing fierce competition with each other. 30.In which section of a newspaper can we most probably read this passage?‎ A. Leisure and Entertainment.‎ B. Economics and Business.‎ C. Culture and Education.‎ D. Life and Fashion.‎ 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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。‎ Urban Wildlife Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors from the wild, a large number of species share our urban areas. As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.‎ Cities are built for humans. 31 For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plant flowers, we destroy natural habitats.‎ ‎ 32 When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. 33 Now, they have come to value their winged neighbors. The bats are a tourist attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.‎ There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city. The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created open, natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo. 34 .‎ If we learn to share our space, we can become better neighbors to the wildlife around us. 35 Our own future will be endangered too.‎ A. They are built to protect birds.‎ B. Our actions sometimes help other species.‎ C. If we do not, more species will become extinct.‎ D. They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.‎ E. Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move about freely.‎ F. At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.‎ G. They would sit on it and their droppings would fall into the water.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分）‎ 第一节（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 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，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Why study history?‎ People live in the present. They plan for the 36 . History, however, is the study of the past. Given all the 37 and pressures that come from living in the present and 38 what is yet to come, why bother with what has happened? Given all the available branches of knowledge, why insist — as most 39 systems do — on history? And why urge many students to study even more history than they are 40 to? Any subject of study needs 41 ： supporters must explain why it is worth 42 . Like most widely accepted 43 ， history attracts people who simply 44 the information and modes of thought involved. But for people who are less interested in the subject and more 45 about why they should bother with it,‎ a clearer explanation of its purpose is required.‎ ‎ 46 do not perform heart transplants, improve highway design, or arrest criminals. In a society that quite correctly expects education to serve 47 purposes, history's functions can seem more difficult to 48 than those of engineering or medicine. History is in fact very useful, actually 49 ，but the products of historical study are often less 50 and immediate than those of other subjects.‎ History helps us understand people, societies and how they 51 . For example, how can we 52 past wars and future threats without using historical materials? Unfortunately, major aspects of the society's operation cannot be set up as precise experiments. 53 , history must serve, however imperfectly, as our ‎54 ， helping us understand who we are and why we do what we do.

The children played under the shades of trees in the gardens of their homes. A shepherd boy(牧羊男孩) named Nasir lived with his father, mother and grandmother. When Nasir was watching his herd( 牧 群 ) and playing his flute, he suddenly saw a wonderful light behind a flower bush. When he walked to the bush, he saw a transparent( 透明的) and very beautiful crystal(水晶的) ball. The crystal ball was shining like a colorful rainbow. Nasir carefully took it in his hand and turned it around. With surprise, suddenly, he heard a weak voice coming from the crystal ball. It said, “You can make a wish that your heart desires and I will achieve it.”‎ He put the crystal ball in a bag and, gathering the herd, happily returned to the village. He decided that he would not tell anyone about the crystal ball.‎ The days passed as usual, but Nasir was still unable to make his wish. But he appeared to be very cheerful. The people around him were amazed to see his change.‎ One day, a boy followed Nasir and his herd and hid behind a tree. When Nasir did fall asleep, the boy took the crystal ball and ran away.‎ When the boy arrived at the village, he called all the people and showed them the crystal ball. Suddenly they heard a voice from inside the crystal ball, which said, “I can achieve your wish.” Everyone rushed to call his wish out. All their wishes were achieved, but the citizens of the village were not happy. They were jealous(嫉妒) and angry with each other and stopped speaking to each other. The children became terribly unhappy. Only Nasir and his family were happy and content.

When Nasir saw that the people were really regretful, he promised to make a wish for it.‎ Everyone happily agreed that Nasir made the wish. Nasir took the crystal ball in his hand, turned it around and wished that the village would become the same as it was before. In a moment, the same old village full of trees was there. Once again the people started to live happily and the children played under the shade of trees. Nasir continued his content life every day, playing his flute at sunset. Its sweet sound was heard throughout the beautiful green village.‎
