There was no way for me to afford a new car, but this one seemed in fine shape. I made the deal and drove it home.‎ It wasn’t long, however, before I noticed a squealing (振鸣声). I made an appointment at a local repair factory. The heat of the day made me turn on the air conditioner but no cold air came out. This made me worry more. I wondered if I’d made a big mistake.‎ When I arrived at the repair factory, I sat in the waiting room. The warmth and beauty of the day was too good to ignore. I walked outside. Walking around the parked cars, I noticed some beautiful flowers. As I looked down at them, a single white butterfly flew down and landed on them. Butterflies had for years held a special place in my heart. They always reminded me of my mother and her love for me. I smiled when I saw this one and felt in my heart peace and joy I hadn’t felt for a long time. I realized then that while the repairers were making a few minor repairs on my car, God was making a few minor repairs on my soul.‎ Life is too short to allow fear and worry to rule our days. We’re here on earth to love each other and we’re reminded of this in countless ways every day. My “new” car is running now and I’m doing my best to keep my soul doing the same. May you always keep your own soul open to whatever minor repairs you meet with in life.‎ ‎24. Why was the author worried?‎ A. He was unable to afford a new car.‎ B.

Happy Memories of My Mom.‎ C There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little whisky(威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited there in 1873 she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot.” And she didn’t even go fishing.‎ Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grass mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a person and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle, any frustration (懊恼) will float away as gently as the circling water. It’s just you and purple, pink, white flowers, a perfect harmony(和谐). If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.‎ Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day’s fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of mountains, and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge. But it’s not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountain’s north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic language “usqueb” or “water of life”; and it is the single most important ingredient (原料) in Scotland’s best known whisky.‎ ‎28. The story of Queen Victoria is to show that  .‎ A. the queen is rich in tour experience B. the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland C. tasting whisky is better than going fishing D. 1873 is a special year for the queen ‎29. How is paragraph 2mainly developed?‎ ‎ A. By giving descriptions. B. By following time order. ‎ C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons.‎ ‎30. What is Ben Nevis special for?‎ A. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel. B. The beauty of its surroundings.‎ C. The water from the mountain. D. The challenge up to its top.‎ ‎31. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.‎ B. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.‎ C. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.‎ D. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.‎ ‎ D A night at the movies is always a good idea. But when you leave the theater and realize you just dropped $45 on a ticket and some snacks, you’ll wish you had been patient enough to wait until the movie came out on Netflix (在线影片租赁商). The average movie ticket price in the United States in 2000 was $5.39; now, a ticket is over $9.‎ The main reason why movie tickets have gotten so expensive is inflation (通货膨胀). It was actually more expensive to go to the movies in the 70s than it is now. A ticket in 1978 cost $2.34. If you plug that into an inflation calculator, the same ticket would cost you $9.46 today. According to the National Association of Theater Owners, the average cost for a ticket today is $9.11.‎ Another reason you need to dip into your life savings to see a movie on the big screen is that theaters are competing with streaming services that produce their own films, such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. And let’s be honest, sitting at home on your couch or in your bed is more comfortable than sitting in a cold theater.‎ Because of streaming technology, movie theaters have to do something to bring in customers. Attractions — including alcohol, reclining seats (躺椅), surround sound, and 3-D movies are all examples of that. And those upgrades come at a price, leading to more expensive tickets.‎ ‎“There’s all that extra cost, and it’s really important for theater owners and companies to make that experience as enjoyable as possible,” Patrick Corcoran, vice president of the National Association of Theatre Owners told Marketplace. “Because you’re offering a superb experience — audience expectations are for the latest and greatest technology. Audiences are willing to pay more for a particular experience.”‎ ‎32. According to the passage, what makes movie tickets so expensive?‎ A. The viewers are wealthier than before.‎ B. The movie theatres offer popcorns, alcohol for free.‎ C. Inflation has made the ticket price appear higher than before.‎ D. The popular movies with famous stars deserve the high price.‎ ‎33. We can learn from the passage that ________.‎ A. Netflix is always a better choice for movie viewers than theatres B. comfortable seats ensure movie theatres a distinct advantage over streaming services C. the viewers actually pay for the updates of the movie theatres via more expensive tickets D. the theater owners and companies update the theaters to win good fame ‎34. Which of the following would Patrick Corcoran most probably agree with?‎ A. It’s unwise for viewers to pay so much to watch a movie in the theater.‎ B. The high price of a movie ticket is supposed to be in line with a wonderful experience.‎ C. It’s a waste of money to provide the latest technology in the theatre.‎ D. The viewers would prefer to sit at home on the couches or in the beds.‎ ‎35. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Behind the Increasing Price of Movie Tickets B. Technological Improvement on Movie Theatres C. The Competition between Movie Theatre and Streaming Services D. How to Save the Viewers’ Wallets 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ A Few Universal Truths to Change Your Life Life is growth. If you are not reaching the kind of success, the following universal truths are just the ones that help to change your life for the better, regardless of where you are, where you've been, or what challenges you are facing. 36 ‎ The best way to achieve your desires is to set a goal. Sometimes we find ourselves “spinning our wheel”, struggling through a day-to-day routine that isn’t getting us anywhere because we don’t know where we want to go. 37 Whatever the case ‎ is, figuring out what your goals are and whether your current actions are helping to achieve them is important.‎ ‎ 38 Setting goals is important but isn’t enough to drive you to the finishing line; it’s important, too, to be able to imagine yourself as the achiever of your goals. How will you feel? Why is it worthwhile to follow these goals and not some other ones? If goals are the final result of a journey, your vision (愿景)is the fuel to get you there.‎ ‎ 39 Whether you regard yourself as a towering tree or a blade (刀 片) of grass, or whether you think you are a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature that has its own reason of existence. If you truly admire yourself, you’ll be courageous.‎ There is no better time to begin than now. 40 But the truth is that your time is now. No matter what dream or desire you have, you are likely not to have more time in your life to make it happen.‎ A. Having a vision is undoubtedly necessary.‎ B. Self-appreciation gets you to be positive to move you towards success.‎ C. Try to understand and let it be the guide to your life as follows.‎ D. Be sure that you are more powerful than you know.‎ E. Read and allow them to change your life in beautiful ways.‎ F. Sometimes we simply do what is expected of us without considering what we want to achieve.‎ G. You can make a bunch of excuses that you’ll start when more experienced or richer.‎ 第二部分 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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.
