He was born in Llandaff in Wales on 13 September 1916. Roald’s dream was to go to exciting foreign places, and he got the chance ‎ when he got a job with the Shell Company supplying oil in East Africa. When the Second World War broke out, he became a fighter pilot and he almost died when he crashed his plane in the desert. Afterwards he was sent home and given a new job in the British Embassy in Washington‎, ‎D.C.‎ There, he started writing speeches and war stories, and his first pieces of writing were published.‎ Have you heard of any of these stories? ‎ Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Charlie is a young boy from a poor family and, like most children, he loves chocolate. Charlie buys Wonka chocolate bars hoping to find a golden ticket inside because whoever finds a golden ticket is invited to visit the Wonka chocolate factory. However, there are some wonderfully strange things inside the factory!‎ The BFG The BFG is the Big Friendly Giant and he brings sweet dreams to children while they are sleeping. One night he is seen by a girl called Sophie, and he kidnaps(绑架) her and carries her away to his homeland because he is scared she’ll tell the world about his existence.

Matilda’s brainpower is discovered by her teacher, Miss Honey, who helps her to develop her intellect. But Miss Honey is also being mistreated by the cruel head teacher, so Matilda tries to find a way to help her…‎ Boy: Tales of Childhood This book is told like a story, but it’s not a novel.

I wondered whether cleaning neighborhoods destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag were really the way I wanted to spend Christmas vacation. I sent in an application anyway, went for an interview, and was actually very excited when I was accepted into the program.‎ We arrived in New Orleans on December 23. First, we had dinner at a pizza place that had been destroyed by the hurricane. The owners told us about what they had gone through to rebuild their homes.‎ ‎ On Christmas Eve, we spent the day removing garbage as part of a beautification project in the Lower Ninth Ward, which was most heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina. ‎ On Christmas Day, we worked at a center for homeless people. The people really appreciated our work, and we felt like we had made Christmas a little more special for them. My favorite project was helping at an animal rescue center. We walked the animals, cleaned their places, and fed them. Six thousand dogs and cats, separated from their owners, were rescued by that shelter after the hurricane.‎ ‎ When I returned to New York and told my friends about my trip, I realized how ridiculous l had been to be jealous of their Christmas plans. I looked around at my house, my dog, my family and everything I owned and felt really spoiled. All the things I saw in New Orleans, all the amazing people I met and the small ways l was able to contribute to the rebuilding of the city  made  that week  the  most memorable vacation I can imagine.‎ ‎24. What was the author’s first reaction to the community-service trip?‎ A. He felt upset.   B. He was excited.   ‎ C. He felt hopeful. D. He was doubtful.‎ ‎25. Which did the author like most? ‎ A. Removing garbage. B. Helping the homeless.‎ C. Working with animals. D. Dining with survivors.‎ ‎26. What can be the best title for the text?‎ ‎   A. The Most Memorable Day      B. My Special Christmas Vacation ‎   C. Post-Disaster Reconstruction   D.A Big Contribution to Society C Summers around the world are already warmer than they used to be, and they are going to get dramatically hotter by the century’s end if carbon pollution continues to rise. That problem will be felt most acutely in cities.‎ ‎ The world’s rapidly growing population coupled with the urban “heat island” effect, which can make cities up to ‎7.8℃‎ warmer than the countryside, adds up to a recipe for dangerous and potentially deadly heat.‎ ‎ Currently, about 54 percent of the world’s population lives in cities, and by 2050 the urban population is expected to have grown by 2.5 billion people. As those cities get hotter, weather patterns may shift and make extreme heat even more common. That will, in turn, threaten public health and the economy.‎ ‎ Under the high-pollution situation, currently mild Ottawa, Canada could have the tropical climate of Belize City by 2100. Mountainous Kabul, Afghanistan could feel like coastal Colombo‎, ‎India. Already hot Cairo, Egypt could feel like its sweltering (闷热的) neighbor, Abu Dhabi.‎ ‎ The average land temperature is projected to rise ‎4.8℃‎, but due to the differences in geography, some cities will warm much more. Sofia‎, ‎Bulgaria is predicted to have the biggest overall temperature shift, with temperatures rising nearly ‎8.4℃‎ by 2100. That would make its summers more like in Egypt.‎ ‎ The average summer temperature in Khartoum‎, ‎Sudan is projected to skyrocket to ‎44.1℃‎ if carbon pollution continues to be unchecked. That shift emphasizes that unless carbon pollution is limited, the planet could be headed toward a state that humans have never experienced.‎ Dealing with less extreme heat makes adaptation easier and less expensive, and given that choice, perhaps it’s no surprise cities are leading the charge on climate change. They face the worst impacts of extreme heat and are home to billions. That’s why thousands of mayors from around the world have banded together and promised to reduce their emissions. That includes lots of U.S.‎ cities committing to meet the Paris Agreement goals after President Trump announced he was pulling the U.S.‎ out of the agreement.‎ ‎27. What may happen by the end of the century according to the passage?‎ A. Carbon pollution will be worse and worse. ‎ B. The world’s population living in cities will decline. ‎ C. The temperature in cities will be too high to bear in summer. ‎ D. The economy and population will be impacted severely by pollution. ‎ ‎28. Which city mentioned in the passage will have the greatest climate change?‎ A. Ottawa, Canada. B. Sofia, Bulgaria. ‎ C. Khartoum‎, ‎Sudan. D. ‎Kabul‎, ‎Afghanistan ‎29. The underlined word “skyrocket” in the sixth paragraph probably means “ ”.‎ A. rise rapidly. B. change gradually ‎ C. reverse completely D. drop naturally ‎30. What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. Dealing with the climate problems right now is hard and expensive.‎ B. Officials are unwilling to deal with climate change.‎ C. Extreme heat will have no impact on the climate in the countryside.‎ D. Many U.S.‎ cities are dealing with climate problems actively.‎ 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。选项中的两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ How to Pick a Good Book It’s not news that we spend more time texting and surfing online than ever. But a recent study shows that more teenagers are reading good old-fashioned and ink-on-paper books. Reading is a good way to widen your knowledge and learn about yourself. You probably know how to find the best application programs for your phone. 31 _‎ ‎1.Start with your interests Reading‎ on your own isn’t like reading for school. 32 It could be ancient martial arts, computers, or fashion design. If you can name the subject, you can find books about it.‎ ‎2. Find your “type”‎ ‎ 33 Books of fiction, like novels or short-story collections, can transport you to another world or help you to imagine something beyond your own experience. Not all fiction is the same. Try some different types of fiction and see which one you prefer. Non-fiction books give you the “who”, “what”, “when” and “why” of something. They tell stories using facts, but that doesn’t mean they are dull.‎ ‎3.Read the “blurb(简介)”‎ The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books are known as “blurbs”. These comments not only give you an idea of what the book is about, but also help you to pick out future books. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the blurb and see which authors praised the book. 34 ‎ ‎4. 35 ‎ Your local library can provide you with a lot of great books. Explain your interests and mention any writer you like, and the librarian can point you towards books that you will like. Then you can enjoy what you’re reading in a quiet place. ‎ A.

Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction?‎ E. Ask an expert.‎ F. It is necessary to work out what the book is mainly about before reading.‎ G. But do you know how to pick a book that you will really like?‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共三节，满分55分）‎ 第一节 ‎：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ After many years, I can still remember that day.
