I backed out of my drive slowly like I normally do and then pulled to a stop at the side road that leads to the main highway. When it was clear I pulled out and stepped on the gas. As I stepped on the clutch（离合器）and tried to shift into second, though, I immediately knew that something was wrong. The normally solid gear shift（档位杆）now felt like a spoon in a bowl of soup. I tried quickly to get it to lock into any of the gears but did not succeed. Thankfully, the steering wheel（方向盘）was still working fine and I allowed the car to go to the end of the side road where I was able to pull safely into a wide spot and turn the engine off.‎ It was only later in the day that I finally realized how blessed I had been. I could have been on the main road when that stick shift failed. I could have been in the middle of a curve with no place to turn off the road. I could have had a car too close behind me that wouldn’t have been able to stop in time. A hundred things could have made this incident dangerous or deadly. Yet, the gear shift broken at just the right moment to keep me and my boys safe.‎ Far too often we only see the bad things in life. We get angry when things don’t go out way, and we fail to see the thousands of times that they do. Yes, my car broken down. Still, my sons and I are safe. We are loved. And we have been given more time here in this world to share our own love and light.‎ ‎21. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?‎ A. The clutch. B. The gear shift. ‎ C. The spoon. D. The car.‎ ‎22. How did the writer stop the car at last?‎ A. By turning the engine off quickly.‎ B. By turning to a local garage for help.‎ C. By removing the steering wheel away.‎ D. By letting it slow down to stop naturally.‎ ‎23. The driver’s thoughts in Paragraph 2 imply that ______.‎ A. they were lucky enough to be safe来源:学+科+网Z+X+X+K]‎ B. the car needed to be repaired well C. the driver was good at driving a broken car D. it was important to find a suitable place to park ‎24. By writing the story, the writer expected us to ______.‎ A. be careful in our driving B. ignore the bad things in our life C. share our love with others in time ‎ D. find a bless even from a bad situation B Ninety percent of Americans drive to work every day although working from home is on the rise. If you’re lacking for topics of conversation at a party, chatting about your commute（通勤） is a pretty safe bet.‎ According to a recent study, driving for more than two hours each day can steadily decrease the IQ of middle aged drivers. The Sunday Times of London detailed the study, which looked into the lifestyle choices of over 500,000 Britons between the ages of 37 and 73.‎ When looking at the data of the 93,000 participants who drove more than two to three hours per day, the study found a noticeable drop off in brainpower, measured by intelligence and memory tests. The study found similar results with participants who took ‎ part in several hours similarly sedentary (久坐的) activities, like television watching.‎ As it turns out, stimulating activity stimulates your brain, while non-stimulating activity, well, doesn’t stimulate your brain.‎ ‎“Cognitive (认知的) decline is measurable over five years because it can happen fast in middle-aged and older people. This is associated with lifestyle factors such as smoking and bad diet — and now with time spent driving,” Kishran Bakrania, a medical epidemiologist(流行病学家） at the University of Leicester（莱斯特大学） told the Times.‎ Fortunately for most Americans, the average commute time was recorded at approximately 26.5 minutes according to the 2015 United States Census.‎ And if you think that the way to pump up your IQ is through brain games, think again. Just try and avoid those long hours on the road if possible, and if you happen to have free time on your commute, be sure to use it wisely.‎ ‎25. According to the passage, which of the following may be of help to our brainpower?‎ A. Watching TV. B. Having sports. ‎ C. Driving long time. D. Sleeping.‎ ‎26. Why does the writer mention “results with people participating in similarly sedentary activities” in paragragh3?‎ A. To make a contrast. B. To give an example.‎ C. To make a description. D. To give more evidence.‎ ‎27.We can infer from the passage that ________.‎ A. people should participate in more stimulating activities B. long time drive may decrease the driver’s IQ C. smoking and bad diet can cause cognitive decline D. an increasing number of Americans drive to work every day C At 27, after serving in World War II, I dreamed of owning a piece of land. So I moved from central Illinois to Shelbina, Missouri, and bought 236 acres for $6,000. The plot of land was situated on a dirt road and was half farmland and half trees, with an old house that had no running water or electricity. Obviously, it was not what you’d call ‎ prime real estate. But it was mine.‎ I was alone for the first time in my life, and I found it liberating. My days were filled from dawn until dusk with plowing and planting corn. Dinnertime came and went, and I barely remembered to eat.‎ I wouldn’t say I was a great success at farming in Missouri. However, when I went to the store to buy some plowshares, I met a nice woman named Claudette working behind the counter. I also ran into her at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Shelbina each week. I found out later that her manager kept asking her about “that tall boy (and eligible bachelor) from Illinois living out in the country in an old house with no water, no electricity and no housekeeper.”‎ Claudette and her sister soon visited my farm and put up some curtains. To show my appreciation, I took Claudette out for a ride in my 2½-ton Studebaker truck. We married in 1954 and have now been together for more than 62 years!‎ I later sold the Missouri farm for a $3,500 profit and bought 40 acres in Illinois. For many reasons, buying the Missouri farm was a good idea. I will always cherish memories of owning the farm and meeting my beloved. ‎ ‎28.When the author bought the plot of land in Shelbina, ________.‎ A. it was well equipped B. he was unsatisfied with it C. it was not a real estate D. he worked very hard on it ‎ ‎29. The underlined word “liberating” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by the word ________. ‎ A. upset B. interesting C. free D. boring ‎ ‎30.The author regards buying the Missouri farm as a good idea because _______.‎ A. he was able to sell it at the price of $3,500.‎ B. he could recall plenty of experiences in his own farm.‎ C. he got the chance to meet his wife working at a church in Shelbina then.‎ D. he could purchase another house in Illinois as a result of successful farming.‎ 第二节（共 5 个小题；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。‎ Water—To Your Health!‎ Study after study shows that drinking enough water defends against problems from head to toe. Water is a basic need for cell health. 31 . So pour yourself a nice big glass, sit back, and take a look at the many benefits being well hydrated（保持充足水分）can bring to your health.‎ You’ll have lots of energy ‎ 32 When you’re dehydrated, cells won’t function well enough and the flow is not so smooth affecting your physical and mental performance and making you feel sluggish（迟钝的）, according to a review of hydration research conducted by scientists at the University of North Carolina.‎ You might lose weight A new study from the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign involving more than 18,000 adults found that when people increased their daily water intake by one to three 8-ounce cups (on top of the four they already drank on average), they ate less. 33 .‎ Your memory may improve Your brain is hugely dependent on fluid—all those brain cells need liquid to fire properly. According to a review published in the journal Nutrients, studies have consistently found that memory and attention improve in children after they take a drink of water. 34 .‎ Your skin will grow[]‎ According to research, skin is at least 30 percent water. If your skin cells don’t get the water they need, they’ll start to wither and shrink. But if you drink enough water, you skin cells will become larger, softer and rounder, minimizing the appearance of wrinkles.‎ ‎ 35 ‎ When women in a small study from the University of Connecticut lost just 1.36 percent of their body mass through sweat (and didn’t drink enough water to replace it), their moods soured and they were more likely to experience headaches and exhaustion.‎ A. You’ll be in higher spirits B. You’ll feel strong when you work out C. It can have a magic power to your mind and body D. Their food intake dropped by as much as 205 calories a day E. Water helps keep up a steady flow of nutrients into your cells F. That means your cells need more fluid to keep up with the demands G. The research is less clear on whether this pattern holds true for adults 第三部分：语言运用（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 letter from Grandpa Dear Ronny, Years ago you came to me for help.

But all the same, I was learning.‎ When my father`s business failed, I was able to continue to attend one of the best bilingual(双语的）schools in Mexico City thanks to scholarship.

For the first time in my life, I had optional（可选择的） classes. So I decided to take psychology class. While I found the public school system to be a joke, I did find my psychology class attractive. My mother, in her dreams for my ‎ life, did not see psychology as a good choice, but I was like her, strong-willed to the subject.‎ I married young, even before I had a degree under my belt. Worst of all, I married a kid who wanted to be poster（牧师）. My mother loved Andy dearly but she would ask him occasionally, “ When will you have a real job?” I did finish my degree and I became a social worker, but when I had my first child at age 24, I quit my job. Then at 26, another baby girl joined our family.
