Peter, a 2-year-old boy, can learn to draw pictures with the help of Baby Bus.‎ B At 65, most people are thinking about getting a senior citizen bus pass. But for Montana woman Ethel MacDonald, who’s now a great-grandmother, that’s when she took up tour cycling．‎ ‎“I like what I like to do without having to wait for someone else to be ready,” explains the 78- year-old-great-grandmother. The appeal of biking alone on the open road, she says, is “just feeling like I’m my own boss.”‎ She began tour cycling in 2003, beginning with France’s Atlantic coast. Aside from trips round her native United States, she’s wheeled her way through the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Scandinavia and beyond．‎ Her companion on her Ireland trip is a pink Brompton folding bike, which she’s used on five trips around the US south. She keeps another bike with a friend for her tours of mainland Europe. This seasoned biker reckons ( 估算) she’s traveled at least 100, 000 miles. “Usually my trips are close to ‎1,000 miles in three to four weeks.” MacDonald says．‎ She uses online travel communities Warm Showers and Couchsurfing to find a place to stay, and hosts guests herself at her home in Missoula, Montana. Warm Showers is exclusively( 专 门 地 ) for touring cyclists while Couchsurfing is for any travelers wanting to meet new people or open their homes to others. By August 2016, MacDonald estimated that she’d stayed with 165 hosts and hosted around 200 guests of her own. “It saves a pile of money,” she admits. “But far beyond that, the real value is the people you meet, the inspiration you get from each other, the memories, the connections.”‎ She keeps a scrapbook( 剪 贴 簿 ) filled with photos and notes from all the people she’s met at home and abroad, and keeps in touch with her friends worldwide through Facebook and email. When traveling, she particularly loves the “big cultural exchange”that comes with spending each night with a new host with a different perspective on the world.‎ For anyone who wants to follow in her footsteps, her advice is simple, “Just do it.”‎ ‎24. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A. The history of her tour cycling.‎ B. The reason for her taking up tour cycling. C. The range of her tour cycling.‎ D. The equipment for her tour cycling.‎ ‎25. What nationality is Ethel MacDonald?‎ ‎A. Belgium. B. France. C. America. D. Germany.‎ ‎26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word“seasoned”in Paragraph 4?‎ A. Healthy. B. Wealthy. C. Retired. D. Experienced.‎ ‎27. How does Ethel MacDonald find a place to stay?‎ A. Through online travel communities. B. By keeping a scrapbook. C. Through Facebook and email. D. By writing a letter.‎ C Last year, I called emergency services because I found my partner unconscious on the floor. Within minutes, a police car and ambulance arrived, filled with police, doctors and nurses who moved my partner away to the emergency department, where he received the critical care that he needed.‎ A week later, still marveling at the impact of a handful of strangers, I wrote thank-you notes to those helpful police and doctors and nurses and baked for them. It was a small gesture with a big impact. When I dropped off cakes at the police and fire stations, they thanked me for the gifts. I drove away feeling light and happy, partly because I’d done a good deed, but mostly because I was amazed that there are selfless people who do life-saving work and expect nothing in return. Research has shown that sharing thoughts of gratitude and performing acts of kindness can boost your mood and have other positive effects on your health.‎ When you feel thankful for things you’ve received or something that’s happened, that’s gratitude. It’s impossible to feel it in a vacuum; others are always responsible, whether they’re loved ones, strangers or a higher power. “Gratitude is how you relate to others, when you see yourself in connection with things larger than yourself,” Ruch says.‎ Today, many people don’t stop to appreciate what they have, much less express gratitude. Our instant-gratification lifestyle may be to blame.‎ ‎“With commercial and social media, everything is speeding the younger generation to make them feel that they are the centre of the universe,” says Tamiko Zablith, founder of the London-based etiquette consulting firm Minding Manners. “If it’s all about them, why thank others?”‎ Why not thank others? Studies have shown that people who express gratitude increase their happiness levels, lower their blood pressure levels, get better quality sleep, improve their relationships, have a positive impact on their depression levels and are less affected by pain.‎ Because gratitude is a fairly new field of study, researchers are still trying to identify its cause- and-effect relationship with various health benefits.‎ ‎28. The author’s partner was saved largely due to .‎ A. his good luck B. the rescuers’ joint efforts C. the author’s immediate reaction D. the police’s help ‎29. The first two paragraphs serve as . A. a way of expressing the author’s gratitude B. a description of his partners’ being saved C. an explanation of the police’s personal values D. an introduction to the topic of the text ‎30. What can we learn from this text?‎ A. Many people are willing to express their gratitude.‎ B. The gratitude training should be carried out at an early age.‎ C. Saying thank-you can have positive effects on your physical and mental health.‎ D. Researchers have known the cause-and-effect relationship between gratitude and health benefits.‎ ‎31. Which could be the best title of this text?‎ A. The power of gratitude B. My passion for gratitude C. My partner’s rescue D. People’s attitude to gratitude D While e-books are on the rise, most people, especially young kids still prefer printed versions (版 本) that they can think over for hours on end. Though that is an excellent habit, it also means cutting down precious trees. But what if the book could turn into a tree? Now thanks to a Brazilian children's book publisher, that is possible, at least for one book!‎ The “Tree Book Tree” program is the thought of Argentina's Pequeno Editor and FCB Buenos Aires. Their first creation Mi Pap Estuvo en la Selva (My father Was In the Jungle), has been around in ‎D. It is about an exciting journey in the jungle.‎ ‎34. What can a kid do after finishing reading the book? A. Plant the book in the dirt.‎ B. Put the book away on a shelf.‎ C. Use the book to protect flowers.‎ D. Sow Jacaranda seeds into the book.‎ ‎35. What's the publishers' attitude towards the future of “tree book”? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Criticized. D. Positive.‎ 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。‎ Things You Should Stop Doing to Be Successful Are you a happy person? How often do you think of reasons why everyone around you is successful though they are not better than you in general? Here are some things you should stop doing to be successful.‎ ‎1. 36 ‎ Different people may interpret “success” in different ways: some of them measure it in money,‎ regular format for many years. In the book, a young boy takes the readers on an exciting journey of his father's adventures inside an Ecuadorian jungle.‎ ‎other ones — in positive changes to people around them and the world in general. 37 worry about what other people think but come after what makes you happy.‎ ‎2. Do not believe anything without questioning it.‎ ‎Don’t The book that is made from acid-free paper, printed with natural ink and hand-stitch(手工缝合),‎ is completely recyclable. Jacaranda( 蓝 花 楹 ) seeds are carefully sewn into the pages to help it transform into a tree.‎ After a kid finishes reading the book (over and over again), he or she waters the cover and places it in a sunny area inside the house. Once the seeds sprout (发芽), the book can be planted in the dirt in any location the owner decides. From then on, the book just has to be nurtured ( 培育) like any other plant. Franco says they picked the Jacaranda, because “It's a tree that provides excellent shade and offers oxygen to the environment.”‎ The only unfortunate part is that the publishers are not planning to transform their other books or even make more copies of this “tree book”. This non-commercial project was just a one-time project to make everyone aware of the resources used when producing something even as common as a book.‎ ‎32. What can we know from the first paragraph? A. Reading e-books is an excellent habit.‎ B. Printed books should be thrown away.‎ C. Printed books have consumed too many trees.‎ D. Young kids have a special preference for e-books.‎ ‎33. What is special about the book Mi Pap Estuvo en la Selva? A. It can be read again and again.‎ B. It can be easily stored for future use.‎ C. It can be transformed into a tree if planted.‎ ‎ 38 They are critical thinkers, and they understand that we all are ruled by our prejudices, so they will always question new information.‎ ‎3. Do not worry about all unpredictable things that may happen to you.‎ If you want to be successful, stop thinking about everything that may happen to you. 39 Be ready to improve and change your deeds and decisions when things suddenly don’t go according to your plan.‎ ‎4. Do not care about what other people think of you.‎ ‎ 40 Your attempts to become “good” for everyone will turn into nothing but new worries, stresses, and problems. Successful people do not concentrate on the quantity of people to please, but worry about their quality and focus on developing friendships with people they really care about.‎ A．Do not wait for the “right time” to do anything. B．Do not let others decide what “success” is for you.‎ C．Successful people do not just accept any new information to be true.‎ D．As far as we all know, it’s impossible to please all the people who surround us.‎ E．Try to feel comfortable with the reality and accept the fact your future can’t be predicted. F．If you want to be successful, do not let others force their interpretation of success on you.‎ G．Successful people never ignore or avoid problems, no matter how big and awful they seem.‎ 第三部分：英语知识和运用（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。‎ When your child is supposed to be doing homework, are they chatting with their friends on Facebook or playing games?
