For example, Troye Sivan, a singer who is nicknamed “chuoye”, became popular on You tube from an early age.‎ As a popular video sharing website, You Tube has given rise to plenty of stars, creating a new celebrity culture. Providing a platform where anyone can post videos, You tube presents the opportunity for anyone to achieve fame by simply uploading a short video. Sivan has been making you tube videos since he was 12 to show his singing talent. In the digital age, Sivan has already developed large devoted audience online and his sensitive video blogs have earned him extreme popularity.‎ A survey has showed that US teenagers are more attracted with You Tube stars, which is a surprising result. You Tube stars are judged to be more attractive, outstanding and related than traditional stars. Looking at the survey comments and feedback, teens enjoy a close and real experience with You Tube celebrities, who aren't carefully directed by design. Teens also say they appreciate YouTube stars sense of humor and risk-taking spirit, which are often limited by Hollywood stars. As a result, singers who make their first show in the traditional way no longer have a complete advantage in front of the audience. Online platforms open up a lot of doors for people.They become the best place to be discovered.‎ ‎58. Why does the writer mention Troye Sivan in Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2?‎ A. To give an example of becoming successful by working hard.‎ B. To give an example of sticking to great determination.‎ C. To give an example of holding a successful concert.‎ D. To give an example of becoming a well-known singer with the help of the website.‎ ‎59. What can we infer about Hollywood stars according to the last paragraph?‎ A. They never give performances online.‎ B. They are less humorous and risk-taking than YouTube stars.‎ C. They write less sensitive video blogs than YouTube stars.‎ D. They are more outstanding than YouTube stars.‎ ‎60. What is the author’s attitude towards online platforms like You Tube?‎ A. Uncaring. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.‎ C Do you like drinking tea? You may be surprised, however, that the UK also has tea traditions.‎ The UK has been in love with tea since the 17th century, when merchants first brought it to the country. Its popularity has never declined. According to the Tea and Infusions Organization, the average British person drinks more than 900 cups a year.‎ In demographic(人口特性的)terms, Britain is quite varied. There are significant differences between people according to region, ethnicity (种族) and age. But a very basic difference-social difference is reflected in the ways that people drink tea.‎ When people think of the UK and tea, they generally have an image of the upper class in their heads. They imagine finely dressed ladies and gentlemen, sitting down with tiny sandwiches, drinking from delicate china cups, with their pinkie fingers raised.‎ This is known as “afternoon tea”. It surely happens, but it only involves a small minority of the nation’s people. Most tea is drunk by the working population. These people enjoy tea at their jobs, not while they are at their leisure.‎ Nor do they drink the same kind of tea as the ladies and gentlemen in the luxury hotels. Manual (体力的) workers drink what is known as “builder’s tea”. The tea bag is left to “stew (焖)” in the mug (not cup) for a long time. It will usually be heavily sweetened, perhaps because sugar is a source of energy and people at work always need energy.‎ There are many British tea traditions. “Afternoon tea” and “builder’s tea” are only two ways that British people enjoy tea. No matter what kind of tea people drink, nor where they drink it, all tea-drinking in the UK has a kind of ritual (仪式的) significance.‎ Almost all British people would agree that tea is the first part of solving a problem. When trouble arises, someone will invariably say, “Let’s put the kettle on.” Nothing looks bad when you have a warm cup or mug of tea in your hands. As English actor Arthur Wing Pinero put it, “Where there’s tea, there’s hope.”‎ ‎61. What do we know about tea drinking in the UK?‎ A. Its history dates back to the 18th century.‎ B.Afternoon tea is gaining popularity in the country. ‎ C. British people enjoy tea in different ways.‎ D. An average British person drinks a cup of tea every day.‎ ‎62. What is builder’s tea?‎ A. It is a delicate tea for people at leisure.‎ B. It’s a type of tea commonly drunk by workers at their jobs.‎ C. It is made by workers and served in posh hotels.‎ D. It is a sweet tea drunk at dinner for energy.‎ ‎63. Arthur Wing Pinero’s words are mentioned to _______.‎ A.show that drinking tea has special meaning to British people ‎ B. show British tea has a long history C. stress that drinking tea makes people work harder D. express his great love for tea ‎64. What is the text mainly about?‎ A.British tea traditions among different social classes. ‎ B. The difference between Chinese tea and British tea.‎ C. How tea drinking influences the lives of British people.‎ D. Tea drinking culture in the UK.‎ D The notice was posted next to the guests’ mailboxes in the apartment building I’d just moved into in Brooklyn, New York. “A Milzvah for Mrs. Green,” it read. “Sign up to drive Mrs. G in 3B home from her chemotherapy treatments twice a month.”‎ Since I wasn’t a driver, I couldn’t add my name, but the word mitzvah stayed in my thoughts after I went upstairs. It’s a Hebrew（希伯来语） word that means “to do a good deed”.‎ And according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing（祝福，好事） to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.”‎ Grandma would be shaking her head at me right now. Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I’d said I could manage. Letting them help would have interfered with my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.‎ Snowflakes（雪花） had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots, making for the bus stop. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don’t you see if you can find a lift（搭便车）?”‎ A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don’t know my neighbors; I don’t like to disturb others; I feel funny asking for favors（帮忙）. Pride would not let me knock on a door and say, “It’s a 10-minute ride by car but a long wait for the bus, and it’s a 30-minute bus ride, so could you possibly give me a lift to school?”‎ I labored to the bus stop, reaching it just as a bus went by.‎ Three weeks later, on the night of my final exam, the snow was falling steadily. I made my way to the bus stop, I stretched my neck, praying desperately that a bus would come. Then I gave up. The wind at my back pushed me toward home, and I prayed, “Dear God, how can I get to school? What should I do?”‎ As I pulled Grandma’s scarf more tightly around my neck, again I seemed to hear that whisper: Ask someone for a lift! It could be a mitzvah.‎ That idea had never really made sense to me. And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed, which I did not, there wasn’t a person on the street.‎ But as I pushed the door of my apartment building open, I found myself face to face with a woman at the mailbox. She was wearing a brown coat and had a set of keys in her hand. Obviously she had a car，just as obviously, she was going out. In that split second, desperation overcame pride, I blurted, “Could you possibly give me a lift?” I hurriedly explained, “I never ask anybody for a lift, but...”‎ An odd（奇怪的） look crossed the woman’s face, and I added, “Oh! I live in 4R. I moved in recently.”‎ ‎“I know,” she said. “I’ve seen you through the window.” Then, without hesitation, “Of course, I’ll give you a lift. Let me get my car key.”‎ ‎“Your car key?” I repeated. “Isn’t that it in your hand?”‎ She looked down. “No, no, I was just going to get my mail. I’ll be right back.” And she disappeared upstairs, ignoring my “Ma’am! Please! I don’t mean to put you out!” I was terribly embarrassed.‎ But when she came back, she spoke so warmly that I stopped feeling uncomfortable. “You know the way better than I,” she said. “Why don’t you drive?”‎ ‎“I can’t,” I said. Now I felt uneasy again.‎ She just laughed and patted me on the hand, saying, “It’s not so important,” and then I laughed, too.‎ ‎“You remind me of my grandmother,” I said.‎ At that, a slight smile crossed her lips. “Just call me Grandma Alice. My grandchildren do.”‎ When she dropped me off, I thanked her again and again and stood there waving as she drove away. My final exam was a piece of cake compared with the difficult experience I’d gone through to get to it, and asking Grandma Alice for help had relaxed me so that after class I was able to ask easily, “Is anyone going my way?” It turned out that while I’d been waiting for a bus every night, three fellow students passed my apartment house. “Why didn’t you say something before?” they chorused.‎ Back home as I walked up the stairs, I passed Grandma Alice leaving her neighbor’s apartment. “Good night, Mrs. Green. See you tomorrow,” the neighbor was saying.‎ Mrs. Green, the woman with cancer “Grandma Alice” was Mrs. Green.‎ I stood on the stairs, my hand covering my mouth: I asked a person struggling with cancer to go out in a snowstorm to give me a lift to school. “Oh, Mrs. Green,” I stammered, “I didn’t realize who you were. Please forgive me.”‎ I forced my legs to move me up the stairs. In my apartment, I stood still, not taking my coat off. How could I have been so insensitive? In a few seconds, someone tapped on my door. Mrs. Green stood there.‎ ‎“May I tell you something?” she asked. I nodded slowly. “I used to be so strong,” she said. She was crying. “I used to be able to do things for other people. Now everybody keeps doing things for me, giving me things, cooking my meals and taking me to places where I want to go. It’s not that I don’t appreciate it, but I don’t have chances. Tonight before I went out to get my mail, I prayed to God to let me feel like part of the human race again. Then you came along...”‎ ‎65. What does the word ‘Mitzvah’ mean in the first paragraph?‎ A. Asking for help. B. Refusing help.‎ C. Helping others. D. Thanks for others’ help.‎ ‎66. The author didn’t let her friends help her settle in because _________.‎ A. her friends were very busy B. it would have an effect on her image of being capable and independent C. it would bring her friends much trouble D. her grandmother didn’t agree to it ‎67. What does the underlined sentence suggest?‎ A. the author decided to ask for help without any ideas B. the author would no longer have his own pride C. the author would be desperate for ever D. the author wouldn’t be proud for a short time ‎68. After final exam, the author found that_________ .‎ A. the exam was difficult B. the exam wasn’t easier than going through the difficult experience C. her classmates were more friendly to her D. it was easy for her to ask for help ‎69. Knowing Grandma Alice was Mrs. Green, the author felt __________.‎ A. Proud B. Encouraged C. Embarrassed D. Pleased ‎70. The main idea of this passage is ________.‎ A. giving help not getting help B. giving help is better than getting help C. that a person who gets help is to blame D. both giving help and getting help can reflect the warmth of the world 第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题l分，满分10分) ‎ ‎ You Should Read Every Day, Why?‎ I ask you a question.When was the last time you read a book, or a magazine article? Do your everyday reading habits centre around updates on the Internet? In case you are one of innumerable individuals who don’t make a habit of reading consistently you may be passing up a great opportunity: Reading has a noteworthy number of advantages and only a couple of advantages of reading are recorded below. ‎ Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information and you never know when it might be useful to you. The more knowledge you have, the better prepared you are to overcome any challenge you’ll ever face. Additionally, here’s a bit of food for thought: Should you ever find yourself in terrible circumstances, remember that although you might lose everything else—your job, your possessions, your money, even your health—knowledge can never be taken from you. ‎ At the same time, the more you read, the more words you gain exposure to, and they’ll surely make their way into your everyday vocabulary. Being able to express your ideas clearly in words is of great help in any profession and knowing that you can speak to higher-ranking people with self-confidence can be a great encouragement to your self-esteem. It could even aid in your career as those who are well-read, well-spoken, and knowledgeable on a variety of topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature, scientific breakthroughs, and global events. Reading books is also vital for learning new languages, as non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context, which will improve their own speaking and writing fluency. ‎ When you read a book, you have to remember a lot of characters, their backgrounds, ambitions, history, as well as the various plots that weave their way through every story. That’s a fair bit to remember, but brains are wonderful things and can remember these things easily. Amazingly enough, whenever you remember something new, new synapses are formed and existing ones are strengthened. How cool that is! ‎ No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other issues faced in daily life, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story. A well-written novel can transport you to other fields while an interesting article will distract you and keep you in the present moment, letting tensions drain away and allowing you to relax. ‎ Some of Benefits of Reading: You Should Read Every Day, Why?‎ Knowledge accumulation The more you read, the more adequately it 71. ________ you for various troubles in life. Knowledge is what will stay with you 72. ____________.. ‎ Vocabulary expansion You can 73. ________ your vocabulary by reading, which may favour you in your job and make you proud when you talk with your leaders. ‎ Your rich vocabulary means you are a great reader with rich knowledge, which gives you a big 74. __________over others in promotions. Words in context will help a foreign language learner use the language 75. _____________. ‎ ‎76. __________‎ improvement You will try to keep in mind the 77. ___________ of a book while reading and that is somewhat 78. _________ for your brain. The more you try to remember, the 79. _________ you will be at remembering.  ‎ Stress reduction An interesting reading will transfer your attention to its plots so that you feel 80. __________ and forget about your worries. ‎ 第五部分 书面表达（满分25分）‎ 请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。‎ Again, my doorbell rings happily at ‎11 a.m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady; she is small and slight, and she’s holding the hand of a little boy. In her other hand, she holds a paper carrier bag. ‎ I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. She is the little boy’s grandmother, and her daughter bought the house next door last October. My visitor’s daughter, Nicole (who speaks fluent English), is currently in Shanghai, but her parents are in Vancouver for the summer with the little boy. Nicole has told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.‎ I know what is inside the paper carrier bag—a thermos with hot soup and a stainless-steel(不锈钢) container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp, sometimes with a kind of pancake. This has become an almost daily occurrence.‎ She doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is hello. So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other’s language but communicating one way or another (with some help from technology). The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me by her.‎ I’m working on some more Mandarin words. “Thank you” is, of course, the first one. Somehow, it seems inadequate.‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ ‎1. 用约30个单词概述上述信息的主要内容；‎ ‎2. 结合上述信息，用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：‎ ‎（1）谈谈你对这个温暖的小故事的看法；‎ ‎（2）假设你出国学习，怎样才能与邻居进行更好的交流交流？（不少于两点）‎ ‎【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。‎ 参考答案 听力 ‎1-5 BBBCB 6-10 ACCBA 11-15 ACAAB 16-20 BBCBC ‎ 单项选择 ‎21-35: ACBBA 26-30:BCAAB 31-35:BADCC 完形填空 ‎36-55 CABDB/BCCBA/CDABD/CCBAD 阅读理解 ‎56-57 DC 58-60 DBC 61-64 CBAD 65-70 CBADCD 任务型阅读 ‎71. prepares/equips 72. forever/permanently/everlasting ‎73. expand/enlarge/increase/develop 74. advantage/edge ‎75. fluently 76. Memory ‎77. contents 78. easy/good/helpful ‎79. better 80. relaxed 书面表达 ‎【参考范文】‎ It becomes a daily routine that the author has been looked after by an old Chinese lady who provides her with meals during her illness. Although she doesn’t speak English, her kindness needs no translation.‎ After reading the story, I am deeply moved. As an old saying goes, “a good neighbor is better than a distant relative”. When we study abroad, a neighbor may be of great help to us, especially in emergency. Actually, it is the love among peopl that is powerful enough to break barriers, making people live in harmony regardless of their skin colors and languages. ‎ If I go abroad for further study, the following approaches will be adopted to solve the problem of how to communicate with neighbors. First of all, I will make efforts to learn their native language and establish sincere communication with them. What’s more, learning about their cultures and taboos can better promote our understanding of one another. ‎
