There was nobody to hear her yell and not a soul to calm her, because outside her house is a long winding lonely road. The wind was at rest and the leaves didn’t rustle,‎ ‎ silence filling the air. Loneliness was already killing her, but no one knew what made her cry.‎ Losing something you love with all your heart isn’t really the pain you can ever overcome. Radha lost her baby, her only means to live. She saw her child getting killed and the accident was terrible. One lonely night, she was walking down the street to get a breath of fresh air with her child hugged tight in her arms.‎ The whole time she walked with her child in her arms, the only thing that worried her was Aryan’s future. She was imagining and feeling every day of the child’s growth, and figuring what she would have in store for him. But who knows what’s in store for us tomorrow, life can change in a second.‎ On that deserted road were a few street lights barely enough. It was this light that could be seen from a distance, but as it came closer it got brighter and brighter. That light changed Radha’s life into darkness forever. A speeding car came down that road. The driver came at a speed of 100 kmph throwing beer bottles out of his half open window. He was definitely drunk, and the speed took everything in its path. Just then, there was a loud cry, and silence set in again.‎ But the mother wasn’t hurt. She opened her eyes, unable to focus her eyes, and didn’t see Aryan. After a few minutes when her sight cleared up she looked all over in panic for her baby, but alas… The child hadn’t even seen life.‎ Simply, don’t drink and drive. You could take a life, but kill a number of people.‎ 21. The underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 1 would probably mean ______.‎ A.worried B. scared C. heart-broken D. weather- beaten ‎22. Which of the following statements is TRUE of Radha?‎ A. She had expected much of Aryan. B. She got her eyes injured in the accident.‎ C. She was bit by one bottle on the arm. D. She had everything ready for Aryan’s future.‎ ‎23. The underlined sentence implies that ______.‎ A. drunk driving is absolutely forbidden ‎ B. drunk driving is certain to kill a lot of people C. the driver killed Aryan and his mother.‎ D. there is more than one victim in the car accident.‎ ‎24. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Death of a Miserable Child B. A Sad Mother on a Windy Night C. The Price for Another Man’s Mistake D. Speeding from Drunk Driving B ‎ A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.‎ ‎ Decades ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.‎ ‎ They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.‎ ‎ They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.‎ Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect the entire world.‎ ‎25. The main idea of the passage is about ______.‎ A. the cause of weboholism B. the advantage of weboholism C. the influence of weboholism D. the popularity of weboholism ‎26. The underlined word “obsessional” in the second paragraph probably means ______.‎ A. addictive B. attractive C. professional D. potential ‎27. We can infer from the passage that ______.‎ A. weboholism has the greatest effects on teenagers B. people are addicted to games on the Internet C. students can hardly balance real and virtual life D. virtual life is more vivid and attractive anyway ‎28. The author’s attitude towards weboholism is that of being ______.‎ A. optimistic B. neutral C. acceptable D. critical C A new German study has uncovered evidence that there is a strong link between traffic jams and developing a heart attack. It has been found that individuals were three times more likely to develop a condition if they had recently got stuck in traffic, most probably because of the exposure to the car fumes and other pollution they breathed.‎ The researchers analyzed data of heart attack cases between February 2013 and December 2014. They interviewed nearly 1,500 patients to gather information and figure out what could be potential triggers for a heart attack. The participants were asked a standardized set of questions, such as what they were doing on the day of the heart attack, where exactly they went, what means of transportation they used and how much time they spent in a traffic jam.‎ The experts found that driving a car turned out to be the most common source of traffic exposure. However, using public transportation and riding a bicycle were also other forms of traffic exposure. The researchers reported that 8% of all heart attack cases were specifically linked to having been in traffic. In general, time spent in any type of transportation in traffic was associated with a more than 3 times higher risk of experiencing a heart attack within the first hour immediately following the ‎ exposure.‎ The team has also found that women, elderly men, patients who were unemployed, and those with a history of angina(心绞痛) appeared to be particularly sensitive and were affected the most by traffic. Female participants, in fact, were more likely to have a 5 times greater risk of a heart attack following such exposure, compared to men.‎ ‎29．The underlined word in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________.‎ A．directions B．effects C．tendencies D．causes ‎30．The researchers came to the conclusion ________.‎ A．by doing experiments in hospitals　 B．by observing the traffic in the streets C．by surveying patients in hospitals D．by interviewing drivers trapped in traffic jams ‎31．What could be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Traffic Jams Are a Great Concern B．Be Sure to Avoid Traffic Jams C．Traffic Jams May Lead to Heart Attacks D．Get Your Heart Away from Traffic Jams D When policy experts debate climate change solutions, they often talk about“a price on carbon”. They are arguing about whether companies should pay when they put carbon pollution in the air. But here's the secret that most people seem to be missing: There already is a price on carbon, and it's paid by the taxpayers.‎ Carbon pollution, like every other form of pollution, has an impact on the environment. Throwing waste into a river will cause the fish to die and the people who drink the water to get sick. And when you produce carbon pollution, you get climate change—sea level rise, stronger storms, severe droughts, damage to agriculture, and more.‎ All of those impacts cost money. Insurance rates go up when storms get more destructive. Taxes increase when cities have to rebuild bridges and roads. Military budgets go up when droughts and population changes cause conflicts. Not to mention impacts on agriculture and health care costs.‎ In other words, the price on carbon is what we all pay when there is no market force to limit the pollution that causes climate change. So the debate is really about who will pay that price—the companies who are making a profit from the fossil fuels, or the taxpayers who pick up the cost now.‎ Right now, we have private profit and public cost. It's just like if we allowed every business to throw its garbage in the street because it's too expensive to have it moved away properly. Does it add a little bit to your dinner check to require that restaurants throw away their trash properly? Sure. But it would be more expensive for you if the city had to clean the streets of their garbage every day. So just like we put a “price on garbage” we need a “price on carbon pollution”．‎ Now, a “price on carbon pollution” can mean a lot of things. You could tax companies based on the amount of carbon pollution they produce, and return the money to taxpayers. You could put a limit on how much they can produce, thereby requiring them to invest in ways to conduct business in a less polluting way.‎ ‎32．What do the policy experts argue about carbon pollution?‎ A．Whether taxpayers could get profit from it. ‎ B．Whether the companies should pay for it.‎ C．Who have the ability to change it.‎ D．How much should be paid for it.‎ ‎33．What's the main idea of the Paragraph 2?‎ A．Some other forms of pollution. B．The effects of carbon pollution.‎ C．The signs of carbon pollution. D．The way to reduce carbon pollution.‎ ‎34．The author referred to restaurants in the passage mainly to ________.‎ A．prove every business doesn't perform its duty B．warn readers to protect the environment around C．explain the damage of no policy on carbon pollution D．show some restaurants throw away their trash randomly ‎35．According to the passage, what does the “price on carbon pollution” mean?‎ A．Telling the taxpayers to refuse to pay taxes on carbon pollution.‎ B．Making the government invest to reduce carbon pollution.‎ C．Increasing prices of the products from companies.‎ D．Taxing companies on carbon pollution they produce.‎ 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的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。‎ Third-Culture Kids ‎ Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid! ‎ ‎ The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was first used in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 36 About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals. ‎ ‎ 37 In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 38 While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.‎ ‎ For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 39 She did not share the same values as her friends’ even years after going back home. ‎ ‎ While a third-culture kid must let go of his/her identity as a foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized(理想化的)‎ ‎ image children have of “home”. 40 ‎ ‎ As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places. ‎ A. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.‎ B. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.‎ C. In general, they often reach excellent academic results.‎ D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.‎ E. Their experience abroad helps them to understand cultural differences better.‎ F. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.‎ G. Unlike other teens of her age, she didn’t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 ‎：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ A gift left to her ‎ Early in the morning, I was taken in a nylon bag into a truck.
