Tel Aviv or Tokyo B Dear 17yearold self, When your Laker dream comes true tomorrow, you need to figure out a way to invest in the future of your family. This sounds simple, and you may think it's a nobrainer, but take some time to think on it further. I said INVEST. I did not say GIVE. Let me explain. Purely giving material things to your siblings(兄弟姐妹) may appear to be the right decision. So you buy them a car, a big house, pay all of their bills. You want them to live a beautiful, comfortable life, right? But the day will come when you realize that as much as you believed you were doing the right thing, you were actually holding them back. You will come to understand that you were taking care of them because it made YOU feel good, it made YOU happy to see them smiling and without a care in the world—and that was extremely selfish of you. While you were feeling satisfied with yourself, you were slowly eating away at their own dreams and ambitions. You were adding material things to their lives, but subtracting the__most__precious__gifts__of__all. Invest in their future, don't just give. Use your success, wealth and influence to put them in the best position to realize their own dreams and find their true purpose. Put them through school, set them up with job interviews and help them become leaders in their own right. Hold them to the same level of hard work and dedication that it took for you to get to where you are now, and where you will eventually go. I'm writing you now so that you can begin this process immediately, and so that you don't have to deal with the hurt and struggle of weaning(断绝) them off of the addiction that you facilitated. That addiction only leads to anger, hatred and jealousy from everybody involved, including yourself. As time goes on, you will see them grow independently and have their own ambitions and their own lives, and your relationship with all of them will be much better as a result. Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and heartache, some of which remains to this day. Much love, ( )58. What might be the best title of this letter? A. To My Younger Self B. For My Dear Family C. To My Beloved Son D. For My Older Self ( )59. What may be “the most precious gifts of all” in the underlined part? A. independence and growth B. wealth and health C. love and dedication D. success and leadership ( )60. What can we infer from this letter? A. The writer will stop offering his siblings help in the future. B. The writer didn't think it a good fortune to become successful early. C. The writer intends to remind others not to care too much about materials. D. The writer was once troubled by the relationship between him and his family. C Sam, I say to myself as I start across the bridge, you must stop these thoughts and start thinking about what to do now that you have lost your falcon(猎鹰), Frightful. Life, my friend Bando once said, is meeting problems and solving them whether you are an amoeba or a space traveler. I have a problem. I have to provide my younger sister Alice and myself with meat. Fish, nuts, and vegetables are good and necessary, but they don't provide enough fuel for the hard physical work we do. Although we have venison(鹿肉) now, I can't always count on getting it. So far this year, our venison has been only road kill from in front of Mrs Strawberry's farm. I decide to take the longest way home, down the flood plain of the West Branch of Delaware to Spillkill, my own name for a fast stream that cascades down the south face of the mountain range I'm on. I need time to think. Perhaps Alice and I should be like the early Eskimos. We should walk, camp and hunt, and when the seasons change, walk on to new food sources. But I love my tree and my mountaintop. Another solution would be to become farmers, like the people of the Iroquois Confederacy who once lived here. They settled in villages and planted corn and squash(南瓜), bush beans and berries. We already grow groundnuts in the damp soil and squash in the poor land. But the Iroquois also hunted game. I can't do that anymore. I'm back where I started from. Slowly I climb the Spillkill. As I hop from rock to rock beneath shady basswoods and hemlocks, I hear the cry of the redtailed hawk who nests on the mountain crest. I am reminded of Frightful and my heart aches.I can almost hear her call my name, Cree, cree, cree, carree. Maybe I can get her back if I beg the man who is in charge of the peregrines(游隼) at the university. “But it's the law,” he would say. I could write to the president of the United States and ask him to make an exception of Alice and me. That won't work. The president swore to uphold the Constitution(宪法) and laws of the United States when he took office. I climb on. I must stop thinking about the impossible and solve the problem of what to do now. I must find a new way to provide for us. Frightful is going to be in good hands at the university, and she will have young. I smile at the thought of little Frightfuls and lift my reluctant feet. When I am far above the river, I take off my clothes and moccasins(鹿皮鞋) and bathe in a deep, clear pool until I am refreshed and thinking more clearly. Climbing up the bank, I dress and sit down. I breathe deeply of the mountain air and try to solve my problem more realistically. ( )61. What does this excerpt(节选) main describe? A. Delicate mental activities. B. Unique story environment. C. Complicated character relationship. D. Everchanging story events. ( )62. What is Sam's first worry? A. The shortest way to go back. B. Survival for Alice and himself. C. The safety of Frightful. D. How to get enough venison. ( )63. What do we know about Frightful? A. He left Sam and Alice due to lack of food. B. He helped Sam hunt before being taken away. C. He is living with the redtailed hawk happily. D. He is giving birth to babies in the university. ( )64. Which of the following can best describe Sam? A. Humorous. B. Aggressive. C. Responsible. D. Unrealistic. D “It can't be done.” Boyan Slat heard this over and over when he first proposed a way to clean up millions of tons of plastic polluting our oceans. Almost anyone else would have given up in frustration and despair. But 20yearold Slat hasn't been discouraged but committed to his dream. “Human history is basically a list of things that couldn't be done, and then were done,” he says. Today, Slat and his team at The Ocean Cleanup are well on their way to proving the critics wrong. Good news for the planet. 1.____________________ Slat, who grew up in the city of Delft in the Netherlands, was on a diving trip in Greece three years ago when he was deeply impressed by plastic. “There were more plastic bags than fish,” he says. “That was the moment I realized it was a huge issue and that environmental issues are really the biggest problems my generation will face.” That fall, Slat, then 17, decided to study plastic pollution as part of a high school project. Soon, Slat learned that no one had yet come up with practical way to clean up these massive garbage patches. Most proposed solutions involved “fishing” up the plastic using ships equipped with nets—which, as Slat discovered, would likely take more than 1,000 years, cost too much, let off too many greenhouse gases, and fish out too much sea life along with the trash. Slat proposed an alternative that mostly avoided these problems—a solarpowered system using a floating plastic tube which will go around the garbage and trap it. It is 600 metres long. A big screen hangs down from it, about three metres into the water. Wind, waves and ocean currents will push the trash toward the tube. (Fish can swim under the screen.) A ship will pick up the trash and take it back to the shore to sort and recycle it into oil and other products. Best of all, Slat predicted his system could clean up the North Pacific Garbage Patch between California and Hawaii where a lot of floating garbage exists, within five to 10 years. 2.____________________ The following fall, Slat entered the aerospace engineering program at the Delft University of Technology and officially announced his ocean cleanup concept at TEDx Delft. But nothing much moved forward. Slat found himself continually absentminded in classes, looking for ways to improve his concept. “It wouldn't let go. I finally decided to put both university and my social life on hold to focus all my time on developing this idea. I wasn't sure if it would succeed, but considering the scale of the problem I thought it was important to at least try.” He says. With his family's blessing, Slat began in earnest organizing a team of volunteers and employees for The Ocean Cleanup, which now numbers about 100. 3.____________________ In answer to opposition, Slat and his team raised $100,000 from a crowdfunding campaign and began testing a 40meter collecting barrier near the Azores Islands last March. In June, they released a 500+ page possibility study. Over the next three to four years, Slat will push toward a fully operational largescale project by testing a series of longer and longer barriers. He's currently seeking to crowdfund $2 million to finance it. Incidentally, The Ocean Cleanup is also working on a plan to stop plastic from washing into the oceans in the first place. “It's just the other problem that is equally important.” Slat says. “It's something everyone is able to help with, and we also have some technologies in the pipeline.” As for school, Slat doesn't miss it—except maybe for the sociallife part, which he hopes to revive(恢复) a bit once his team takes on more of the workload. “I don't have time for things like that right now, but I really can't complain. I can't imagine doing something more fun than being able to have an idea and then actually making it into a reality.” he says. ( )65. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. An introduction to the main topic. B. An overview of the whole article. C. The background information of the story. D. Raising a problem for later solution. ( )66. Which of the following shows the correct order of the three missing subtitles? a. But is it possible? b. Drowning in plastic c. An idea wouldn't die A. abc B. cba C. bac D. bca ( )67. What inspired the boy to study plastic pollution? A. One of his high school projects. B. Others' opposition to his proposal. C. Humans' failure in cleaning up the ocean.D. The shockingly heavy plastic pollution in ocean. ( )68. What can we say about Slat's design? A. It is powerful but only used in California and Hawaii. B. It is huge but causes great damage to sea lives. C. It makes full use of natural forces and is friendly to nature. D. It was welcomed by all the public and worked very well. ( )69. Which of the following quotes best displays Slat's strong will and confidence? A. “Human history is basically a list of things that couldn't be done, and then were done,” B. “That was the moment I realized it was a huge issue and that environmental issues are really the biggest problems my generation will face.” C. “I finally decided to put both university and my social life on hold to focus all my time on developing this idea.” D. “It's something everyone is able to help with, and we also have some technologies in the pipeline.” ( )70. What does the author mainly do in this article? A. Explain a creative idea. B. Introduce a fascinating person. C. Describe a social phenomenon. D. Praise a point of view. 第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 What is style? Style is the special visual paradigm centering on the visual symbol system. It is contained in the materialized products of daily life such as fashion, home, architecture, horticulture and environment. It is reflected in the creation of cultural products including literature, films and music. It is still a way of behavior and life that expresses specific customs. To sum up, style is not only the core of cultural products with visual, melodic, literal and abstract symbols, but also a way of life. The style of China means the expression of Chinese elements. Chinese elements are the inheritance(传承) of cultural genes. The style of China relies on thousands of years of cultural accumulation(积累). It should not be limited to objects. It is supposed to express the Chinese cultural concept of Confucianism and Taoism. It must reflect the specific views of man and nature, man and objects as well as man and social relations. The style of China ought to be oriented towards the world. It did influence the world. Silk and ceramics were the main products traded along the Silk Road. They contained rich Chinese culture. The thousandyearold Silk Road spread the style of China to the West. And the craze for Chinoiserie(中国艺术品) was a popular fashion in European society at that time. The style of China is the reproduction and variation of cultural genes. It is the inheritance along with innovation. The style of China is dutybound to select as always silk, bamboo, wood, stone clay, glass and porcelain. Meanwhile, the materials in modern industrial era like metals, glass and cement should be fully used. Besides, it is necessary to continue the concept of interactive space planning between man and nature and between man and man. It also needs to explore such new spaces as digitization, the Internet, virtual reality and artificial intelligence. The style of China must show the transformation and promotion from Chinese manufacturing to Chinese creation. It relies on the manufacturing power and the industrial strength. The style of China presents to the world the image of a large industrial producer and a birthplace of global creativity. The style of China represents not only the reconstruction of objects, but also the renewal of Chinese value system. The style of China ought to rely on rich historical heritage(遗产), draw on strengths of others and keep up with the times. It should focus on the life of the general public, the world and the future.

Carsharing, which provides an alternative for people to travel in cities, will be the new innovation in a service model. The released guideline focuses on legal status, insurance and regular maintenance of cars before they join sharing services. It encourages the development of carsharing, which is expected to reduce the liking to individually buy vehicles and ease traffic congestion amid a surge in recent years of privatecar ownership. However, there is a long way to go before the purpose of the guideline comes true, said Xia Xueluan, a professor of sociology. First, a car costs at least 100,000 yuan, almost 500 times that for a shared bicycle. Besides, shared cars also take the same spaces as other private cars, so parking will be another problem. Meanwhile, traditional car rental companies are competing with the emerging carsharing businesses.It's estimated the charges will be almost the same for both forms of car rentals, Xia said. How to survive fierce competition will remain a challenge for carsharing providers, he added. 【写作内容】 1.用约30个单词概述上述文章的主要内容; 2.请你就共享汽车的话题发表观点。 (1) 为什么要发展共享汽车: (2) 如何才能更好地发展共享汽车。 【写作要求】 1.写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句; 2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称; 3.不必写标题。 【评分标准】 内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。 英语参考答案 第一部分 听力 1—5 CBABB 6—10 CABBB 11—15 AACCA 16—20 ABCAB 第二部分 英语知识运用 第一节 单项填空 21—25 DBCDC 26—30 ACBCD 31—35 ACDAD 第二节 完形填空 36—40 CBDBD 41—45 ADDCB 46—50 ACDCA 51—55 DABDC 第三部分 阅读理解 56—60 CDAAD 61—65 ABBCB 66—70 DDCAB 第四部分 任务型阅读 71. reflected/contained/expressed/conveyed/carried 72. definition/meaning 73. accumulated 74. internationally/globally/world 75.

One possible version: This report is mainly about a guideline for the promotion of carsharing, which shows government's will to reduce traffic congestion. Meanwhile, some difficulties are also put forward as a reminder. Despite the current problems like parking difficulties and economic factors, personally I believe the benefits carsharing brings obviously outweigh those defects. To the society, congestion together with pollution can be remarkably eased with less private cars. To individuals, apart from the saved money, the convenience of getting around without being stuck to the same car is also a cool thing. For a healthy carsharing development, the most important is to make sure everyone obeys the rule when using shared cars. Parking won't be a headache when users return cars in order. As for the survival of the new industry, government can subsidize those submitting to the guidelines. When good examples are followed and vicious competition is prohibited, problems will be solved. 听力原文 Text 1 W: I just can't believe this. I told them I needed the flowers this morning.

M: That's terrible. Well, don't let the delivery driver leave. I'll be there in five minutes. W: OK, I will wait for you. Text 7 W: Thank you for calling Ellen Jay's Bookstore. What can I do for you? M: Hello, I'd like to buy the newly released book Back to Nature. It was reviewed in today's newspaper. I don't remember how to get to your store, though. Is in on 14th Street or 16th Street? I'm going to stop by your store on my way home. W: Neither. We're located on 17th Street, and you need to walk three blocks down. However, we're closing in five minutes. You will have to come tomorrow instead. We're open at 9:00 a.m. Text 8 W: Excuse me. I'm the airport officer. Could you spare me a few minutes and answer some questions? M: Sure. Go ahead. W: What do you think of the arrival area? Were you pleased with it? M: Yes, but it's a long way from the Gate to Immigration. W: I'm sorry about that. Well, how about Immigration? How long did it take you to get through? M: It's really quick—it only took me about 3 or 4 minutes. W: OK. So you bought some dutyfree goods. How did you feel about the prices? M: Well, compared to most places in Asia, I think they're a little expensive. Actually the prices seem lower here than in Canada, where I come from. W: I see. Well, how about the airport, in your view? M: Excellent. It's about the cleanest airport I've ever been in. Oh, I'm sorry, my suitcase is coming. I've got to go now. W: Thank you very much. Text 9 W: Hello Karl! I haven't seen you since we both went to university. M: Good to see you, Laura. I'm just back home for a few days. W: Me too. How are you finding it studying in a foreign country? M: I had to find my own accommodation, although the university was very helpful and gave me a list of apartments so it wasn't that hard.The language isn't a problem because my course is taught in English.But understanding the other students' jokes isn't easy! W: Sounds like fun, though!Well, I've been in City University London for two years. I'm really concentrating on my studies at the moment because I've got an important essay to write. Have you thought about what you'll do after your university course finishes? M: I haven't made up my mind actually. W: You must feel lonely sometimes abroad. I thought I'd love the freedom of being away from home, but it can be hard. M: Well, it's normal to feel like that. Why don't you come and visit me when you can afford it? W: I'm really curious to see what it's like at your university. I've got more than enough studying to do at the moment, though, I'm afraid. Text 10 I discovered at an early age that I only did well at something if enjoyed doing it. I didn't like maths at school so I never got good results, but sport was different. So now I work for Electra, a company selling computer games. My first job after leaving school was in a bike shop. Then, I decided to go to college and study engineering, but I soon gave that up because I couldn't get enthusiastic about it. After that I got a job working in a frozen food company. People there seemed to like the way I worked, as later they offered me the job of sales manager. I really enjoyed my time there and I managed to increase its sales greatly by improving customer service. I stayed with them for ten years before moving to join Electra. I started working with the staff of Electra, showing them how to deal with the customers. Then I was promoted to the job of training organizer for the USA. Now I'm here in the UK and I'm the general manager. Although we haven't introduced any new products yet, our sales figures have improved due to increased TV advertising. We're opening six new stores next year and although I'm busy, I enjoy feeling I'm part of the company's success story.查看更多
