Generally, the decision on material choice depends on several factors including cost and performance for specific applications.‎ Due to growing interest in sustainable(可持续的) development and various pushing measures provided by the Government of Malaysia, the key players in the construction industry are motivated more than ever before to use materials that are sustainable or in such a way that their environmental impact is minimal.‎ In 2009,the Malaysian government launched the Green Building Index(GBI) to encourage ‎ the construction of buildings using green technology, and introduced pushing measures for owners to obtain the GBI certificate for new or existing buildings. There have also been efforts to reduce air pollution and concrete has an important role to play.‎ The new concrete can be produced using waste materials as one of its components. Green concrete can also be developed using various production processes that are not harmful to the environment. The use of recycled or waste materials can be considered sustainable as they can reduce costs and raw materials.‎ 5. Which of the following best describes green-mix concrete?‎ A. Money-saving and sustainable.‎ B. Green and fashionable.‎ C. Low carbon and costly.‎ D. Sustainable and conventional.‎ ‎6. Who mainly decides the choice of building materials?‎ A. Researchers. B. The Government of Malaysia.‎ C. Certificate owners. D. Developers.‎ ‎7. What can we learn about green-mix concrete?‎ A. Traditional materials are not used to produce it.‎ B. The Malaysian government contributed to its development.‎ C. Building developers show no interest in the new material.‎ D. The production processes are not environmentally friendly at all.‎ ‎ 8.Which column is this text probably taken from?‎ A. Entertainment.　　　　　　　 B. Education.‎ C. Science. D. Politics.‎ C Despite the countless differences between people’s characters and careers, or their likes and their dislikes, it seems that we are all connected in this wonderful world by one thing—the pursuit(追求)of happiness. ‎ For me, happiness is horse riding, Cadbury Crème Eggs and spending time with my friends. Some people are at their happiest at home, while others find their paradise through traveling in far-off foreign lands. Happiness can be as simple as a surprise bunch of fresh flowers or a really strong coffee, just when you need it most. Sometimes, happiness comes from spending time with loved ones; at other times, it’s having a quiet night at home, with nothing but a movie and a comfortable bed for company. ‎ Since it comes in so many shapes and sizes, it’s sometimes easy to take happiness for granted. Maybe you overslept, missed the bus and had to walk to school in the rain, only to be told off for being late. Or perhaps, because of work, you had to cancel plans with friends, ‎ despite looking forward to seeing them for ages. Forgotten keys, delayed flights, an argument with your parents, untimely illness or injury. . . all very frustrated and understandably guaranteed to make you feel unhappy. ‎ Luckily, there are a few simple ways to make the glass seem half-full again. To start with, things like trying out cycling or walking instead of driving to work and listening to music are great mood-boosters. Volunteering and getting involved with a charity are two ways in which you can become happier through helping others. Last but not least, trying hugging on your way to happiness; it’s been suggested that we humans need at least five hugs a day. If you’ve been having a bad day, there’s nothing better than a good old bear hug. ‎ ‎9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? ‎ A. Happiness is getting what you need. ‎ B. Flowers can easily surprise someone. ‎ C. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. ‎ D. Happiness means different things to different people. ‎ ‎10. To tell us that it’s easy for people to take happiness for granted, the author______. ‎ A. performs an experiment B. provides some examples C. tells an interesting story D. presents some difficulties ‎11. By “make the glass seem half-full again”, the author means“______”. ‎ A. make up for your loss B. refill the glass half full C. make you feel happy again D. help you become a positive man D Younger students experience school bullying (欺凌) more frequently than older ones, and male students are bullied more than their female peers, a survey found.‎ It also found that nearly half of students had been intentionally hit or knocked down by classmates. About 6 percent said they are targeted by bullies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.‎ Being bullied can have a negative impact on a child’s personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. “Children being bullied will find it hard to trust others,” Zhou said. “They may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.” ‎ In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijing’s Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress ‎ disorder.‎ The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in 2016. Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.‎ Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including boosting communication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involved in their children’s educational experience, as their presence and companionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects. ‎ ‎12. Who is the most likely to become the target of bullying?‎ A. A 10-year-old girl from a key school B. A 10-year-old boy from a poor family C. A 17-year-old boy from a rich family D. A 17-year-old girl from an ordinary school ‎13. Being bullied will cause students to go through the following EXCEPT _____.‎ A. a lack of trust in other people B. a drop in academic performance ‎ C. a lack of confidence in themselves D. a drop in the sense of depression ‎14. We can learn from the text that _____.‎ A. bullying at school usually leads to acute stress disorder B. bullying on campus has been brought into sharp focus by the media C. students who enjoy parents’ companionship will be bullying-free D. the government should consider taking further action against bullying at school ‎15. What can be the best title for the text? ‎ A. Is anything we can do about bullying?‎ B. Negative effects on children caused by bullying C. Bullying affects half of students D. The reasons for bullying on campus 第二节 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题每小题2分，满分10分）‎ As warming continues, scientists warn the oxygen content of oceans across the planet could be more and more reduced, with serious consequences for the future of fish and other sea life.‎ ‎ 16 One is the simple fact that as water gets warmer, it can hold less dissolved (溶解的) oxygen. The other reason is less obvious. The entire ocean gets its oxygen from the surface—either from the atmosphere, or from photosynthesizing algae floating at the top of the sea. 17 ‎ Global warming is expected to reduce the mixing of the ocean by making surface seawater lighter. That’s because in a warmer world we can expect more rainfall and more melting (融化) ‎ of glaciers, icebergs, and ice sheets. 18 The extra heat from the warming atmosphere will also make surface water expand and thus make it lighter still. 19 Instead, more of the oxygen will remain near the surface, where it will be used up by oxygenbreathing organisms.‎ A lowoxygen ocean may become an inescapable feature of our planet. A team of Danish researchers wondered how long oxygen levels would drop if we could somehow reduce our carbon dioxide emissions to zero by 2100. They determined that over the next few thousand years oxygen levels would continue to fall, until they declined by 30 percent. The oxygen would slowly return to the oceans, but even 100,000 years from now they will not have fully recovered. 20 ‎ A. It’s not known why the oxygen level of oceans has reduced.‎ B. Scientists point to two reasons to expect a drop in ocean oxygen.‎ C. Fresh water’s inpouring will make the water at the ocean’s surface lighter.‎ D. The oxygen then spreads to the deep ocean as the surface water slowly sinks.‎ E. Global warming has caused the reduction of the oxygen content of oceans worldwide.‎ F. The light surface water will be less likely to sink so the deep ocean will get less oxygen.‎ G. If they are right, we have every reason to worry about the major effect it has on sea life.‎ 二、 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空表出的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ We usually tell ourselves that our life will be complete when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire...‎ The　21　 is, there’s no better time to be 　22　than right now.If not now, when?
