Here are four kinds of them.‎ Park Avenue This kind of room has about 350 square feet of space. It comes with either a king-size or queen-size bed. The room has the following: a 40-inch television and a good bathroom. The Park Avenue room costs about $65 to $85 per night during weekdays and has a weekend rate of $100 to $110 per night.‎ Marquis This Marquis room is up-grade.

Penthouses rooms have more up-grade amenities (设施). Guests can stay in this room comfortably for $415 per night, and it has a different price in the busy season.‎ Las Vegas travelers have their choice of one of these hotel rooms. It doesn’t matter which room one chooses because all of them are wonderful!‎ ‎21．The price of some rooms of the New York Vegas Hotel __________.‎ A．is a bit higher during weekdays B．depends on what time of year it is C．keeps the same all the year round D．changes almost every day ‎22．What will you choose if you want to surf the Internet and also save some money?‎ A．Park Avenue.

I wanted to play outside and not be made to finish eating my old rice. In my angry movement to open the screen door with my foot, I had kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.‎ Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking for such behavior. My parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door be, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defense against unwanted insects.‎ For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly remind me of my mistake. For years I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole ‎ and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all.‎ My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for my behavior delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.‎ ‎24．The underlined word “ remorse” in Paragraph 1 most probably means_____________.‎ A．injury B．sense C．regret D．notice ‎25．When the author damaged the door, his parents_____________.‎ A．scolded him for his bad behavior B．gave him a spanking C．told him how expensive it was D．left the door unrepaired ‎26．How did the author feel every time he saw the damaged door?‎ A．He felt it destroyed the happy atmosphere at his home.‎ B．He found that his family members no longer liked him.‎ C．He felt ashamed of his uncontrolled anger at that time.‎ D．He felt he had to work hard to make up for the damage.‎ ‎27．What is the main idea of this text?‎ A．Silent punishment can be more powerful.‎ B．The best way to become a more patient person.‎ C．Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.‎ D．Parents are the best teachers of their children.‎ C The number of buses, taxis and other vehicles on Kenya’s roads is growing every day. Now, the country’s first electric-powered motorbikes are coming onto the market. The bike is designed to cut down on pollution and aimed at low-income communities. Most motorbikes used in Kenya depend on gasoline, but not this new ‎ motorbike.‎ Three university students developed the new ecotran bike. It catches the sun’s energy, stores it in batteries and uses it to charge the electric motor. Robert Achoge is one of the student inventors. “Our hope is that by the fifth year, we will be able to cover the whole of Kenya with the electric motorcycle so as to protect the environment and provide affordable transport.”‎ The students have set up a charging station for the motorbikes in Nairobi. The small battery can run for 70 kilometers when fully charged. Once the power is used up, the motorbike has to return to the station while another charged battery is connected to the bike. The U.S. African Development Foundation (ADF) is helping set up two solar-powered charging stations in the port of Kisumu.‎ Each ecotran bike costs about $700. One taxi operator says the new motorbike costs less to operate than that running on traditional gasoline. “When it comes to buying gasoline, there’s no need. It’s basically good for various things. As long as you won’t take quite a heavy load, you can go with it anywhere. Otherwise, it may break down halfway. But now people still have a preference to the gas-powered bikes.”‎ A Nairobi businessman Kennedy Kusimba is selling the ecotran bikes. He hopes they will become popular. “We also know they are more reliable compared to the gas-powered bikes. They are more efficient (效率高的) and they will last longer.”‎ ‎28．What has happened to the vehicles in Kenya?‎ A．Motorbikes are not allowed on the road.‎ B．A new kind of motorbike is hitting the road.‎ C．There are fewer buses and taxis in the street.‎ D．Traditional motorbikes don’t need gasoline any more.‎ ‎29．What do we know about the ecotran bike?‎ A．It was developed by the ADF. B．It can charge itself while running.‎ C．Its energy comes from the sunlight. D．It does more harm to the environment.‎ ‎30．What do people think of the ecotran bike?‎ A．It’s better not to use it to carry too much.‎ B．It is a good choice for the long-distance journey.‎ C．It will take the place of gas-powered bikes soon.‎ D．It is much more expensive than a traditional motorbike.‎ ‎31．Where does the text probably come from?‎ A．A research plan. B．An advertisement.‎ C．A business report. D．A science magazine.‎ D What are your retirement plans? Keep working? Get more exercise? Or learn something new? You may put them on hold. There’s a chance that, sooner or later, you might have to move further than you were thinking, as far as mars.‎ On Thursday, National Geographic will show the first-ever Mars show home, giving earthlings (地球人) an idea of what their life could look like on the Red Planet. In the not-so-distant year of 2037, the igloo-shaped structure could be the home of your future.‎ It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft (航天器) parts and Martian soil, called regolith, which has been microwaved into bricks. Some parts of the home are recognizable—a kitchen, a bedroom—but there are fundamental differences that are important to human survival.‎ As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Earth’s, people will need permanent (永久的) shelter from the sun; society will move largely indoors. Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses won’t have windows. The homes will have simulated solar lighting, or natural light that has been bent several times.‎ Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick to protect people from dangerous rays (光线) that can pass through six feet of steel, and a double air-locked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.‎ ‎“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive, but on Mars your house will be a survival centre,” says Stephen Petranek, author of How We’ll Live ‎ on Mars. This is not just the stuff of sci-fi. “10 to 20 years from now there will certainly be people, on Mars.” Petranek says.‎ ‎“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars, but we haven’t had the will,” Petranek says. But two main factors have “completely swung public attitudes”.‎ The private companies’ participation has forced government agencies to speed up their game, and influential films such as Gravity and The Martian have caught society’s eye.‎ ‎32．What can we know about the show home from the text?‎ A．It has no windows or doors due to security concern.‎ B．Its design presents the idea of environmental protection.‎ C．It has thick walls keeping the home under proper pressure.‎ D．Its underground passages connect all the building together.‎ ‎33．What do the underlined words “put them on hold” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ A．Put them off. B．Give them away.‎ C．Carry them through. D．Take them seriously.‎ ‎34．According to Petranek, what has sped up the process of sending people to Mars?‎ A．The great influence of the Mars show home.‎ B．The development of related technology.‎ C．The competition from private companies.‎ D．The popularity of influential books on Mars.‎ ‎35．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．Living on Mars: Possible or Not. B．Sending People to Mars: Yes or No.‎ C．First-ever show home: How Is It Made. D．Future Home on Mars: What Will It Be Like.‎ 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。‎ A recent survey shows that roughly 85 percent of people feel physical symptoms ‎ of stress. 36 ,‎ and they will help you feel more energetic tomorrow:‎ ‎• Double your chews Chewing is a super-important part of the digestion process. Chewing makes it easier for your body to break down food and turn it into energy. The most proper number of chews per bite is unclear. 37 It will be easy for your body to break down the food and store energy.‎ ‎• Drink one less cup of coffee Although caffeine in coffee blocks your brain from receiving adenosine, which causes tiredness, it doesn’t stop your body from producing it. So once the caffeine disappears, it’s the buildup of adenosine that causes you to crash and reach for more caffeine, creating a bad circle. 38 , but drinking less coffee can help you feel more energetic over the long term.‎ ‎• Take a few deep breaths By not breathing deeply enough, you end up sending a signal to your nervous system that increases your anxiety even further. Changing your breathing habits by taking a few long, slow breaths throughout the day reduces the stress response while energizing your cells. 39 : Simply breathe in through your nose for a count of three and out through your mouth for a count of three. Repeat as necessary.‎ ‎• 40 ‎ Take some time to reflect on the positive by writing down three things that went smoothly during your day or just items you feel grateful for. This exercise can prepare your mind for what’s going right in your life, hitting the brakes on stress increases while helping to protect your energy reserves.‎ A．Set down what went well today B．Try an exercise to achieve this C．Reflect on your day sometimes D．Reducing your reliance on it sounds scary E. Take a look at the small changes you can make today F. Shallow breathing is one of the annoying side effects of stress G. However, it’s been suggested that 25 to 40 times will be beneficial 第三部分： 英语知识运用（满分30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，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ On November 1, All Saints’ Day, it is a(n) 41  for Roman Catholics (天主教徒）in Poland to visit cemeteries (墓地）.

Their silent punishment for my behavior delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.“我的父母给我上了宝贵的一课，一个用打屁股或严厉的语言可能无法表达的教训。他们对我的行为进行了无声的惩罚，向我传达了上百条严厉的信息。最重要的是，它帮助我成为一个更有耐心的人，不那么容易爆发”。可知，沉默的惩罚可能对教育人们有更好的效果。故选A。‎ ‎28．细节理解题。根据第一段第二句Now, the country’s first electric-powered motorbikes are coming onto the market.可知肯尼亚第一辆电动摩托车就要上市了。故B项正确。‎ ‎29．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句It catches the sun’s energy, stores it in batteries and uses it to charge (充电) the electric motor.可知这种新型的电动摩托车主要使用太阳能。故C项正确。‎ ‎30．细节理解题。根据第四段第五句As long as you won’t take quite a heavy load (装载), you can go with it anywhere.可知这种电动摩托车不能装载太重。故A项正确。‎ ‎31．推理判断题。肯尼亚第一辆电动摩托车就要上市了，本文主要介绍了这种摩托车的优势及缺点，这种摩托车使用太阳能，非常环保。本文不可能是广告、研究计划和商业报告，应该是与发明创造相关的科学杂志的内容。故D项正确。‎ ‎32．推理判断题。根据文章第三段第一句“It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft（航天器）parts and Martian soil, called regolith, which has been microwaved into bricks”可知，房屋使用了回收的航天器，这样的设计显示了环境保护的理念。故B项正确。‎ ‎33．词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的 “ Keep working? Get more exercise? Or learn something new”可知，这是一些退休后的具体打算，同时根据画线词后面的 “ you might have to move further than you were thinking”可知，画线词表示推迟这些打算。因此选A。‎ ‎34．细节理解题。根据最后一段“ The private companies’ participation has forced government agencies to speed up their game”可知，私人公司的参加迫使政府机构积极起来。故C项正确。‎ ‎35．主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句 “ the first-ever Mars show home, giving earthlings（地球人）an idea of what their life could look like on the Red Planet”和下面几个段落的内容可知，本篇文章主要讲述了未来在火星上生活的具体情况。因此选D。‎
