It was my mother's idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition. With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home. “ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked. “ None.” “ Where did you go?” “ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.” “ What did you do?” “ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.” “ You just stood there?” “ Didn't sell a single one.” “ My God, Russell!” Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I've decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分 镍币). It was the first nickle I earned. Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence(自信), and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home. One day, I told my mother I'd changed my mind. I didn't want to make a success in the magazine business. “ If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you'll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me. My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father's plain workman's life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband's people for true life and love. 21.Why did the boy start his job young? A.He wanted to be famous in the future B.The job was quite easy for him C.His mother had high hopes for him D.The competition for the job was fierce 22.From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _____. A.excited B.interested C.ashamed D.disappointed 23.What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up? A.She forced him to continue B.She punished him C.She gave him some money D.She changed her plan 答案：CDA 解析： 21.细节理解题 根据"She wanted me to "make something" of myself and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition."可知,男孩年龄很小时就开始参加工作的原因是他 妈妈对他抱有很高的希望,故答案为 C. 22.推理判断题 根据"My God, Russell!"可知,妈妈对他的行为感觉很失望,故答案为 D 23.细节理解题 根据"She replied," you will become a good-for-nothing." She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines."可知,当男孩决定放弃工作时,他妈妈坚持让他继续干下 去.故答案为 A B Have you ever noticed that after about 6 months your perfectly new 1,000 dollar smartphone begins to slow down? What if I told you that it's a sales strategy that pretty much all phone companies use to force people into buying new phones? In late 2015, when Lisa Young was in charge of iOS security and beta software testing teams, her boss revealed a dark secret to her, saying that they were using a new strategy that would purposely slow down older phones every time the phone would upgrade to the latest operating system. This new method would force customers to buy the latest phone model, increasing sales by 70%. She was a little disturbed to hear the news, but she just kept her head down and continued to do her job. After a while, the guilt of being involved with such a shady sales model started to weigh heavily on her. "How could a multi-billion dollar corporation continue to take advantage of the public like this?" she thought. In March of 2017, she contacted a reporter from CNN to finally leak the information concerning Apple slowing down phones. The scandal (丑闻) went viral overnight, and every media outlet in the world, in every language was talking about it, making it one of the biggest controversies in consumer electronics history. A week later, she was secretly let go after her 8 years of service. Although she was taking a huge risk going against one of the most powerful corporations in the world, she felt a sense of relief exposing it. The public deserved to know and the fear became her motivation to find a way to destroy their shady sales model. Several of her colleagues were fired with her. They quietly united, and after a year of extensive research they designed a unique product called CircaCharge that would reverse the negative effects of "software updates". Phone companies have recently got wind of their overnight success with CircaCharge and are trying to do everything they can to make this product illegal and ban it forever. Lisa and her team have made unbelievable progress in increasing battery life, battery health, and optimizing phone performance, and they will continue to develop new technology that will beat phone companies at their own game until they change their ways. 24.What can we learn about the new method mentioned in paragraph 2? A.It is essential in the latest operating system. B.It benefits users in upgrading their old phone. C.It fools customers into buying the latest model on purpose. D.It is a successful sales strategy for advertising new softwares. 25.What does the underlined phrase "kept her head down" in paragraph 3 refer to? A.Shook her head. B.Nodded to show approval. C.Pretended to know something. D.Tried not to show she knows something. 26.From the passage, we know ________. A.it's too tough for Lisa and her team to increase battery life B.CircaCharge helps phone companies with software updates C.Lisa struggles to force phone companies to change their current ways D.phone companies find it essential to ban their illegal software for updating 答案： CDC 解析： 24.根据文章第二段中的"they were using a new strategy... This new method would force customers to buy the latest phone model, increasing sales by 70%"可知，新的策略故意欺骗消费者并迫使消费者去买最新款的手机。 25.根据画线短语后的"continued to do her job"可知，她当时并没有采取措施，而是继续埋头工作。 26.根据全文内容尤其是最后一段中的"they will continue to develop new technology that will beat phone companies at their own game until they change their ways"可推知，Lisa 以及她的团队正在开发新技术，这些技 术将击败这些电话公司，直到电话公司能改变他们的销售策略。 C People asked to imagine how flooding or droughts would affect particular people or places were more likely to engage in environmentally friendly actions. Many people view climate change as a distant threat. But having them imagine the tangible (有形的) consequences of resulting droughts or floods may help change this idea and encourage pro-environmental behavior, a new study suggests. Researchers asked 93 college students to read a report on temperature anomalies (异常),floods and other climate change-related events that have affected the island. The scientists then asked 62 of the participants to write down three ways in which such phenomena might impact their future lives. Half the people in that group were instructed to imagine such situations in detail. The remaining 31 students did not complete either the writing or imagining steps, acting as a control group. All the participants then rated their ideas of climate change risks by responding to questions such as "How likely do you think it is that climate change is having serious impacts on the world?" They used a scale from 1 ("very unlikely") to 7 ("very likely"). The average score was higher among subjects who had been asked to envision detailed situations than among those who had not. The results were later confirmed in a second experiment involving 102 participants. Participants in the first experiment who had imagined the effects of climate change were more likely to say they would use air conditioning in an energy-saving manner. In the second experiment, nearly two thirds of people in the visualizing (想象) group signed up to help clean a beach, compared with 43 percent in the nonvisualizing one. And when offered a choice of a vegetarian (素食主义的) or nonvegetarian lunch box, nearly half the visualizers selected the environmentally friendlier meatless choice-compared with about 28 percent of the nonvisualizers. The researchers did not track people to see if they behaved differently in their day-to-day lives-something further studies should examine, says study co-author Wen-Bin Chiou. Moreover, the research "should be done again in other places with other populations," says Robert Gifford, a professor of psychology at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, who was not involved in the work. The findings could be applied to raise public concern about climate change, Chiou says. For example, he suggests that news reports about the phenomenon could include vivid descriptions of its effects on people's lives and ask readers to imagine experiencing such impacts. Having virtual-reality demonstrations (展示) in local science museums of the consequences of climate change would be another way of putting the research into practice, Chiou adds. 27.Which of the following statements about the study is true? A.Only one experiment was carried out for the study. B.Professor Robert Gifford played a key role in the study. C.The control group only completed the writing step in the experiment. D.Participants asked to imagine detailed effects scored higher than those who weren't. 28.Future studies will probably be about whether ______. A.it is true of other populations in other places B.more money will be donated to the people affected by climate change-related events C.people choose vegetarian lunch boxes in their daily lives D.climate change will cause people to think about joining in a control group 29.To put the research into practice, Wen-Bin Chiou suggests that ______. A.the government call on people to live a low-carbon life B.people use air conditioning in an energy-saving manner C.people experience possible effects of climate change through virtual reality facilities D.news reports provide vivid descriptions of the effects of climate change on people's lives 30.The passage mainly tells us that ______. A.different people may have different reactions to climate change B.different forms of climate change may affect people's ideas in different ways C.people may change their behavior after thinking about the vivid impacts of climate change D.college students show great concern for the people affected by climate change 答案：DDCC 解析： 27.细节理解题。由第三段“The average score was higher among subjects who had been asked to envision detailed situations than among those who had not”可知,被要求设想详细情景的受试者的平均得分高于未被要求设想详 细情景的受试者的平均得分。故选 D。 28.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 For example, he suggests that news reports about the phenomenon could include vivid descriptions of its effects on people, lives and ask readers to imagine experiencing such impacts.这 些发现可以用来引起公众对气候变化的关注。例如,他建议关于这一现象的新闻报道可以包括对其对人们生 活影响的生动描述,并要求读者想象经历这样的影响。所以判断出未来的研究可能是关于是否气候变化将使 人们考虑加入一个控制组。故选 D。 29.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段 The researchers did not track people to see if they behaved differently in their day-to-day lives something further studies should examine, says study co-author Wen-Bin Chiou 可知 Chiou 补充 说,在当地的科学博物馆里进行虚拟现实演示,展示气候变化的后果,将是将这项研究付诸实践的另一种方式。 所以为了将这项研究付诸实践,Chiou 建议人们通过虚拟现实设施体验气候变化的可能带来的影响。故选 C。 30.主旨大意题。根据文章第二段 But having them imagine the tangible (有形的) consequences of resulting droughts or floods may help change this idea and encourage proenvironmental behavior, a new study suggests 但一 项新的研究表明,让他们想象由此产生的干旱或洪水的后果可能有助于改变“许多人认为气候变化是一个遥 远的威胁”这一观念,并鼓励有利于环境的行为。可知,人们在思考了气候变化的生动影响后,可能会改变他们 的行为。所以短文主要告诉我们,人们在考虑到气候变化的生动的影响后,可能会改变他们的行为。故选 C。 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。 31_______Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case. The ridge (隆起) structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by a new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. 32_______Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take. Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer’s ink. They can be recorded easily. 33_______Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. 34_______. When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. 35_______Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained. ​ A.Special techniques are used to "develop" them. B.A fingerprint is an impression of the friction ridges of all part of the finger. C.It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed. D.With special methods, identification can be achieved successfully within a short time. E.A latent(潜在的) print is the chance reproduction of the friction ridges deposited on the surface of an item. F.His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident. G.Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable. 答案：GCDFA 解析： 31.G.考查上下句的衔接 下文的意思是:科学家和专家已经证明了指纹的独特性,从父母到孩子他们的指纹 是不可能完全相似的.所以 G 选项是正确的,Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable.意思是:每一个人手指上的皮肤都有着独特的安排,这种安排是不 可改变的,与下文的指纹的独特性就形成一致了. 32.C.考查上下句的衔接 Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.一些犯罪分子利用了这个事实去改变他们的指纹,但是这是很危险的,也没有措 施去采取.所以上文应说明这个事实,故答案应为 C.It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed.只有在深层皮肤被伤的时候,这种指纹的安排才会改变,这是犯罪分子所知道的事实. 33.D.考查上下句的衔接 Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer's ink. They can be recorded easily. Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case.指纹能够很容易的用墨水制作出来,也能够很容易的被记录下来,因为这种便捷而又经济 的方法,指纹已经被经常用来解决犯罪问题了.所以答案为 D,意思是:用独特的方法,鉴定在很短的时间内就能 被成功的完成.与下文的破案形成衔接. 34.F.考查上下句的衔接 A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. .一个犯罪嫌疑人也许 会否认对他的控诉,但这是徒劳的,下文的第四个空解释了徒劳的原因,故答案应为 F,意思是:他的指纹能证明 他是谁,尽管经过年龄或者是事故他们的面貌改变了.故答案应为 F. 35.A.考查上下句的衔接 When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.当一个犯罪嫌疑人在作案现场留下指纹时,他们是很难用肉眼看到的, 第五个空之后的意思是:但是如果在一个很小的地方,就算是有四分之一的指纹能被取得的话,鉴定身份也是 有可能的.所以答案应为 A.用肉眼看不到并且非常小的指纹通过特殊的手段也能把他们还原出来(发展出来) 故答案应为 A. 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，共 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， 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 As I stood at the base of the mountain range beside a remote African village,the male villagers all repeated the same question : Are you certain you want to climb the mountain?

As I started walking down the dirt path toward the mountain, I was 52 not only by my new mountain support team, but also by every village woman. While two women walked hand-in-hand with me, the others danced in circles around us as if in 53 of a victory. I knew I wasn't the first Western female to make the climb. But with the women villagers 54 accompanying me, I felt a strong sense of 55 and I suspected they felt the same. 36.A.formally B.fortunately C.especially D.surely 37.A.achieved B.wandered C.explored D.arrived 38.A.rare B.typical C.disgusting D.ridiculous 39.A.consulting B.attempting C.preparing D.operating 40.A.reward B.invitation C.command D.permit 41.A.generous B.pleased C.curious D.regretful 42.A.concerns B.thrills C.surprises D.problems 43.A.happened to B.appealed to C.led to D.belonged to 44.A.bargain B.possibility C.promotion D.dilemma 45.A.fancy B.support C.reason D.disagreement 46.A.finished B.enjoyed C.continued D.suggested 47.A.determined B.annoyed C.delighted D.embarrassed 48.A.alarming B.ringing C.breaking D.exploding 49.A.observe B.realize C.strengthen D.follow 50.A.exchange B.connection C.arrangement D.explanation 51.A.warned B.refused C.advised D.reminded 52.A.joined B.expected C.frightened D.teased 53.A.celebration B.search C.possession D.defence 54.A.carefully B.boringly C.proudly D.patiently 55.A.relief B.accomplishment C.justice D.guilty 答案：DDACD BAABB CABDC CAACB 解析： 36.D.考查副词及语境理解.A. formally 正式地;B. fortunately 幸运地;C. especially 尤其; D. surely 确定地;当 地和外国的男子以及当地的妇女无疑都攀登过这座大山.故答案为 D. 37.D.考查动词及语境理解.但是一个西方女性,独自来到这里想要攀登这座大山,却是很罕见的.故答案为 D. 38.

I think this is most true for the firefighters. Whenever and wherever 58 (disaster) happen — 911 Attacks in New York 14 years ago or the explosion in Tianjin on Wednesday night — it is always the firefighters 59 take the lead to run to the very center, saving lives by 60 (risk) their own. I cried today near the explosion site, not because of the smoke from the ongoing fire 61 because of a short message a firefighter sent to a trusted friend that went viral online. It reads, “If I cannot make it, my father is 62 (you); and please remember 63 (sweep) my mother’s tomb.” I was thrilled later to learn that he did make it. “Everyone knows it’s 64 (danger) to be a firefighter. But he has always liked it and has done it for 12 years,” his father said. “He survived this time, but no one knows what 65 (happen) next time.” 答案：56.from 57. probably 58. disasters 59. that/who 60.risking 61. but 62.yours 63. to sweep 64. dangerous 65. will happen 解析： 56.from 考查介词.escape from 意为"逃离…",是固定搭配. 57.probably 考查副词.修饰句子用副词. 58.disasters 考查名词复数.disaster 是可数名词,根据谓语动词 happen,主语要用复数形式 disasters. 59.that/who 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词 the firefighters 在从句中作主语,用关 系代词 that/who. 60.risking 考查动名词. by 是介词,后接动词时用动名词形式. 61.but 考查固定搭配.not …but …意为"不是…而是…",连接对等的成份. 62.yours 考查代词.根据句意:如果我回不来,我的父亲就是你的父亲.yours=your father. 63.to sweep 考查动词不定式.remember to do sth.意为"记得去做某事",用动词不定式作宾语. 64.dangerous 考查形容词.It is+形容词+to do 意为"做某事是…的",用形容词作表语. 65.will happen 考查动词时态.根据句中状语 next time,用一般将来时态. 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分 40 分) 第一节：应用文写作（满分 15 分） 假如你是李华,你的美国笔友 Jenny 正在做一份关于中国移动支付(mobile payment )的问卷调查 (survey) ,你是她的重点采访对象. 内容包括: 1. 你或你身边的人在日常生活中使用移动支付的情况; 2. 移动支付带来的好处; 3. 你的看法. 参考词汇:微信: Wechat 支付宝:Alipay 二维码: QR code 注意:1. 词数 100 左右;2. 可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯. Dear Jenny, How is your survey on mobile payment going? I’m glad I can help with it. It is generally believed that China is the largest mobile payment market. Nowhere else is the cashless trend more obvious than in China. Most of us are used to paying by scanning QR codes whatever we buy—books, clothes, and electronic devices, to name a few, which is a glimpse into the life of most Chinese like me and my family. With the widespread use of mobile payment, Wechat or Alipay is the most convenient and safest way to pay. We rarely need to carry a wallet or cash at all. Besides, never will we worry about getting fake notes or having to count change. In short, mobile payment has greatly changed people's life in China. Personally, I think mobile payment should be encouraged. First, it has won over consumers with its convenience. Another advantage is that there are often discounts if you make mobile payment, as major online payment platforms are competing to have more consumers use their service. I hope my explanation can be of some help to you. Wish you good luck. Yours faithfully, Li Hua 第二节：概要写作（满分 25 分） 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。 Although being famous might sound like a dream come taste, today's stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world's attention. Paparazzi( 狗 仔 队)camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids(小报)publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature. According to the psychologists, celebrities(名人)worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. Over little, they feel separated and alone. The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles ghoul filth-slats in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do. Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modem cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their "story" alive forever. If fame is so troublesome. why aren't all celebrities running away from it'? The answer is there arc still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made theme famous in the first place. With these effective approaches, some celebrities relieve the stress and remain popular with fans. Consequently, though being famous is driving some stars crazy, some wise ones enjoy what reputation brings them. One possible version: Living in the public gaze, stars suffer from great pressure.(要点 1) What’s worse, anxiety over their public appearance robs them of the objective self-image, which leads to the feeling of isolation in the long term.(要点 2) While being tracked has been a headache to celebrities for centuries, modem cameras and the Internet make it harder to be famous nowadays.(要点 3. 4) However, by dealing with the stress wisely, stars still can stay popular and happy.(要点 5 )
