A
Moving to a new city and state was difficult for me, especially in winter.Little did I know that a Colorado snowstorm would greet me after I had been in my new home for only a week.I just missed home.But more than the old house and the beach, I missed Stacey, my best friend.And I missed our lovely tea.Going to a sweet little tearoom, we had discovered was a special us.The place was a Victorian dream, with delicate teacups and tablecloths with flower prints.The hat shelf near the front door swept us back to childhood.Stacey and I became little girls, trying on different hats until we found the perfect one for our dress-up tea party.We would then choose a lovely table and order our tea.That was a precious time, filled with laughter between scones(煎饼)and sharing our lives between tiny cucumber sandwiches.Springtime descended upon Denver, and the sun lightened my heart.But I still fought loneliness almost every day.I decided to explore the Denver area.While my husband went to the office, I took time to see what our new area had to offer.One day, I was walking along the street when suddenly the words “Tea Leaves” caught my eye.A tea room? Here, in the land of loneliness and pain?
I walked through the doors, and tears came to my eyes.It was a beautiful room, not Victorian, but simple and lovely.I sat down and ordered a pot of tea, a cucumber sandwich, and some scones.It felt silly and wonderful---and it felt like home.For the first time since moving, I felt as if this new city and state could be, would eventually be, my home.I would come back here and bring new friends.When Stacey visited, we would come here.I lifted my cup and made a silent toast.I toasted Stacey, whom I missedly, and I toasted the sweet little tearoom that lessened my pain.56.The author's hometown ______________.A.never snowsB.is still warm in winter C.has a long history D.is in an area by the sea

Pigs are always considered dirty animals because they roll in mud.But in fact they preferbeing quite clean.They cover themselves with mud to help stay cool.During cooler weather,they prefer to stay clean.So do elephants,who also cover themselves in dust or mud to keep cool.When they find a place with clean water they will take a bath,using their long noses to givethemselves—or each other—a nice shower
Some animals use dust to get clean.Chinchillas(南美洲栗鼠)have very fine fur. They don`t like to take water baths because water is not warm enough for them.So, instead, they rollaround in
fine dust.The dust helps to keep their fur and skin dry.This protects them from disease
Usually, a small bird is a light meal for a crocodile.But when a crocodile wants its teethcleaned.it lies on the ground with its mouth open.The crocodile bird goes in and picks out anyparasites(寄生虫)between the crocodile`s teeth or under its tongue.The crocodile gets its mouth cleaned,and the crocodile bird gets dinner.
You wouldn`t think fish would need baths.But some undersea parasites live under thefish`s skin.“Cleaner”fish,like the wrasse(隆头鱼),help take them away.The wrasse stands on its head and dances to signal a big fish that it is ready to go into the cleaning business.The big fish will stop moving and open its mouth wide so the wrasse can swim inside and pick outparasites and bits of food.

1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business.But he was not a good artist.So he invented a very simple camera(照相机).He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden.That was the first photo.The next important date in the history of photography was 1837.That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio.He used a new kind of camera and a different processs.In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details.This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's process.Travellers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world.People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, the process was improved.Now photographers could take pictures of people and moving things.The process was not simple.The photographers had to carry lots of film and processing equipment.But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States, where from the 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.Mathew Brady was a well-known American photographer.He took many pictures of famous people.The pictures were unusual because they were very life-like and full of personality.Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war.His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities.They made the war seem more real and more terrible.In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography.Photographers could buy film readymade in rolls.So they did not have to make the film immediately.They could bring it back to
their studios and develop it later, meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment.And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer.People began to use cameras just for fun.They took pictures of their families, friends and favourite places.They called these pictures “snapshots”.Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s.Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs.These pictures showed true events and people.They were much more real than drawings.Photography had turned into a form of art by the beginning of the 20th century.Some photographs were not just copies of the real world.They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.66.The passage is mainly about______________.A.the invention of cameras
C.the development of photographyB.a kind of new art--photography D.the different uses of cameras in history
67.The first pictures of a war were taken by ____________.A.a French photographer in the 1840sB.an American photographer in the 1860s

A.Sheltering from the rain under u tree.B.Lying on the ground.C.Taking a walk with a stick.D.Driving a car.23.We can inter from the text that.A.many doctors came because Robert was badly injured B.there was no exact explanation for Robert’s recovery C.Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock D.a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery 24.What’s the best title of the whole passage? A.Terrible Electrical Accident.B.Robert Edwards and His Wife.C.What a Sudden Shock.D.An Unforgettable Experience.B Eating is best when it’s a social occasion.Think of the meal a family enjoys in the evening when everyone’s together after work or school, or the big get-togethers over food at Spring Festival.But now, in the age of the internet and social media, anyone with an internet connection can enjoy a social eating event.Mukbangis an unusual food eraze that’s sweeping the country.This is a meal where only one person gets to eat, while viewers watch live streams of hosts devouring large quantities of food.They leave comments on the dishes the host is tucking into, and the host responds to them live.So why have people taken to this unusual new food trend? Jeff Yang, an Asian-American cultural critic, thinks that it’s down to “the loneliness of unmarried or uncoupled South Koreans”.He believes that eating on your own can be hard in a country like South Korea, where social eating is such a long tradition.However, mukbang gives people the feeling that they seems to be part of something larger.Millions of people have trouble with food.Either they eat too much of it, or too little.Some say that the popularity of mukbang helps people with these disorders.Those who always eat too much and put on weight can watch mukbang streams to satisfy their appetite.And those who don’t eat enough can build their appetite by watching delicious food bong eaten.Even though mukbang is a South Korean phenomenon, it’s also taken off in the US.But unlike South Koreans who sit down to enjoy noodles and kimchi, Americans enjoy their own native dishes.This means that viewers of US mukbang streamers will see locals stuffing themselves with hamburgers, fries and ice cream.25.According to Paragraph 2.“eating broadcast” is.A.a TV show in which only one person gets to cat while viewers watch B.a live program where a host is crazy about various kinds of food C.a fashion that many viewers watch one person eating large quantities of food D.an online broadcast where a host cats lots of food while interacting with viewers 26.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Americans would like to sit down to enjoy noodles and kimchi.B.Mukbang is becoming more and more popular in the US.C.The dishes of South Korea are also popular in the US.D.Viewers of US will see South Koreans feeding themselves with hamburgers and fries.27.What’s the author’s attitude towards this new food trend? A.Objective.D.Worried.C Throughout modern history, there has perhaps never been a scientist as iconic(标志性的)as Stephen Hawking.On March 14, the British physicist passed away at his home in Cambridge, England.Since then, many people have expressed their condolences on social media.Whether be was educating the world with his knowledge of the universe, or making fun of himself in TV shows like The Simpsons, it’s hard to imagine what the world will be like now Hawking is no longer in it.Hawking was an icon for many reasons, but he will be best remembered for his work in the field of science.Building on German scientist Albert Einstein’s work.Hawking explained his belief that space started with the Big Bang, and will end with black holes.This proposal kicked off a series of investigations, including into the origin of the universe itself.“This complex set of law can give us the answers to questions like how did the universe begin,” Hawking wrote in his 2010 work The Grand Design.B.Negative.C.Favorable.“Where is it going and will it have an end? If so, how will it end?”
His work in science abide, he also managed to overcome many difficulties in his personal life.While studying for a postgraduate degree in cosmology at Cambridge University, he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease at the age of 21.His illness left him paralyzed and he was told he only had a short time to live.However, he went on to become one of the greatest minds the world has ever known.“I felt it was very unfair---why should this happen to me,” he wrote in his 2013 memoir.“At the time, I thought my life was over and that I would never realize the potential I felt I had.But now, 50 years later, I can he quietly satisfied with my life.”
Hawking leaves behind a great legacy.His signature book A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes published in 1988, became one of the world’s best-soiling science publications.He inky no longer be with us, but Hawking will continue to inspire the world for generations to come.As he once said himself, “Look up at the stars and not down at your feet.”
28.What can we know about Stephen Hawking from the passage? A.He left us humans a priceless legacy, A Brief History of Time.B.He was born with a disease which left him paralyzed.C.He was well-known as an icon only for his achievement in science.D.He always complained life was unfair to him after he became paralyzed.29.The underlined words “kick off” in Paragraph 3 can be best replaced by.A.answer for D.lead to
B.set off
C.put forward
30.What is conveyed in the sentence “Look up at the stars and not down at your feet.”?

Ways to boost your chances of a good night’s rest Experts have found more evidence of the harm caused by disturbing our body clocks, linking it to depression and mental disorder.It’s a warning to our body’s natural rhythms, which influence our sleep as well as a range of other processes in our body.Here are the things we can do for a good night’s sleeps? • Limit evening light.Are you inseparable from your mobile phone? Do you chock your social media late into the night? 31 These devices produce powerful blue light that is particularly bad for our sleep.Having a cut-off time for stopping using these devices of an hour and a half before bed is ideal.We should also limit other forms of electric light after surest.• 32 A glass or two of wine, or a sip or two of brandy, for many is a pre-bed routine.But despite what you might think, experts say that a glass of wine before bedtime actually doesn’t improve our sleep.Alcohol has a strange effect in that it makes it easier to fall asleep, but it make it harder to stay asleep and it affects the quality of our sleep.• Be consistent.It may be tempting to stay up late on Friday or Saturday.33 This helps to reduce social mismatch between when we sleep during the working week compared with the weekend.The bigger the social mismatch, the more harmful it is for health.• Have a pre-bed routine.Having a pre-bed routine helps signal to our bodies that it’s time for sleep.Activities such as reading a book or having a bath can help to mentally relax and get us ready for bed.Parents do this with their child to get good sleep.They have a set routine where they feed, bath their children and put them into bed.34 • Make your bedroom a place of rest.Easily portable computers and phones have transformed our bedrooms from sanctuaries(保护区)of rest into places of entertainment.Bui if we want to boost our chances of a good night’s rest, we need to reclaim them for sleep.35 Keeping your bedroom cool is also important because it’s easier for our bodies to sleep in colder temperatures.A.Avoid a night wine.B.Get a good night’s sleep.C.If so, you’re likely to be disturbing your sleep.D.There’s nothing around them and then they read them a story.E.To do this we should keep phones and computers in other rooms.F.Our body clocks are designed to follow the rise and toll of our sleep.G.However, ideally we should go to bed at similar times throughout the week.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)

A Donald had his own difficulties in sleeping that night.Not just because of the bright lights of the shelter or people’s constant voices, it was the happening repeatedly nightmare that caused him to stay awake, to fear sleep.Donald was back in his small house.He did his best to ignore the howling winds outside his window.Yet he could not turn out the fearful whimpers(呜咽)of his little dog, or the uncomfortable sounds of his mother anxious in her room next door, unable to sleep through the storm despite her insistence they would be all right.Donald did not want his mother to be upset, but on some level, he was glad to hear she was awake.It meant he was not alone in the dark.Though he was 12, until recently it was impossible for Donald to fall asleep unless his mother lay down by his side.Suddenly there was a crash.Their living room window was shattered(打碎)by 125 miles an hour winds.Troy rushed to Donald and sat anxiously on the edge of his bed.He did his best to calm his mother, and she had to comfort him.Soon water was seeping(渗入)into the single floor house.Quickly it rose from ankle level to leg level.At Donald’s insistence, they pushed their way through the water---now chest high---toward the front door.When they fought their way into the living room, water rose to their chins.It was a struggle for the boy and the mother to stay afloat.In a total panic, desperate to hold on to something, Troy caught a curtain rod.She was breathing hard, shouting that she couldn’t swim.cried out, “Mom!Hold on!” Just then Donald also caught a floatable wood board.1.The passage is mainly about.A.how a storm happened and caused damage B.how a mother and son experienced a storm C.how a mother and son survived a storm D.how a son helped his mother in a storm 2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story?

B Sydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy’s leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23.It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia’s largest city in a month.The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney’s northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked.The city’s beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.“The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing(激烈扭动)about in the water,” police said.“Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father.”
Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said, “It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water.” He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the shore.“There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine.” The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries.Police said the bites “cut through to the bone”, but the boy did not appear
to have sustained any fractures(骨折).He was in a stable condition now.Several beaches were closed after the attack.Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks.But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy.“I don’t even know if he saw it,” Miller said.Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney’s beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare.However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city’s world-famous Bondi beach.Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise.There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks.Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish.Many shark species are protected in Australian waters.4.The report mainly tells us ________.A.shark attacks on humans are on the rise B.sharks attacked humans three times in one month C.a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach D.shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney’s beaches 5.What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage? A.It is one of the largest cities in Australia.B.Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.C.There are many locals and tourists on its coast all the year round.D.There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney’s beaches.6.About the injury of the boy we know that________.A.he was losing much blood when he was dragged out B.he was very nervous when he was sent to hospital C.he may be in danger of losing his leg D.he was injured in the right leg 7.All the following are the causes of Australia’s sharks’ increasing except that___..environmental protection has created a cleaner environment B.a ban on commercial fishing has increased fish numbers C.many shark species are protected in Australian waters D.the film Jaws has made the Great White famous
C Eat nuts, live longer.Researchers have found that those who eat a handful of peanuts every day significantly decrease their risk of dying from all causes compared to those who do not eat nuts.A new study concludes that all types of nuts seem to be protective.Researcher Ying Bao is with the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard University Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts.She and her colleagues looked at the impact of nut consumption by analyzing two huge studies that began in 1980----the Nurses’ Health Study, which tracks the well-being of more than 76,000 women, and 42,000 men enrolled in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study.Among the questions asked at the beginning of the studies was, “how frequently do you eat nuts?”The information was updated every two to four years.Bao says the participants were followed for three decades.“What we observed is that people who eat more nuts are less likely to die over the next 30 years,” said Bao.“So, for example, if a person eats nuts once per day, that person has a 20 percent lower risk of dying.”
Bao says eating a handful of nuts five or more times per week is associated with a 29 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease and an 11 percent lower risk of cancer death.A serving size is 28 grams.Nuts contain nutrients, including high quality proteins, vitamins and minerals, all of which have anti-cancer effects and may help protect the heart.Bao says researchers are planning studies to find out how nuts are beneficial to human health.The study on the health benefits of nuts was funded by the International Tree Nut Council Research and Education Foundation.8.People who often eat nuts ________.are more likely to live longer than people who often eat fruits B.don’t need to go to hospital
C.may live longer than people who don’t eat nuts D.don’t have to do sports
9.The underlined word “well-being” in Paragraph 2 shares the same meaning as “________”.A.illness
B.health
C.diet
D.habit 10.About Bao’s research, which statement is true? A.She has done the research by herself.B.Her research was based on two studies.C.Her research lasted about three years.D.People should eat all kinds of nuts every day.11.The passage is most probably from a journal of ___________.A.entertainment
B.diet
D Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance.It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected.When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant(抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination(协调), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents.Even below the drink driving link, driving will be affected.Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain.Absorption(吸收)rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice.To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is: ● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood;or ● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath;or
.sports D.science ● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液).Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged.The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points;or temporarily banned from driving.The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(样本)for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.Drink driving is a criminal offence.Be a responsible driver, think before you drink.For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.12.The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A.the introduction of driving skills C.the effect of drinking on driving absorbed 13.The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.A.alcohol B.absorption
C.blood
D.process
B.the damage of drinking to your body D.the process of alcohol being 14.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.B.Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.C.Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.D.50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink limit.15.A driver suspected of drink driving ________.A.should provide specimens for testing B.will be forbidden to drive for 3 years C.will be punished for 10 driving-offence points D.should pay a maximum fine of HK $25,000 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)

Socialization is a big thing for college students and it is common to feel a little uncomfortable going into a situation where everyone is a stranger.You may probably miss your friends from high school.16 College is a great opportunity to make new lifelong friends.The question is: how? ※ Get to know your roommate.You may find you have lots of things in common with your roommate, but even if you are completely different from each other, with a little effort and understanding the two of you may become best friends.※ 17 If you leave your door open, this shows that you welcome visitors.As a result people will naturally stop in and say hello.Closed doors are not likely to bring many visitors and those who stay locked up in their rooms may give others the impression of being cold.Other students will be less likely to stop in and build a new friendship.※ Join clubs or organizations.Getting involved in organized socialization is a great way to meet new people.18 By staying active in college groups such as clubs and organizations you can meet lots o people with whom you share common interest.※ Talk to classmates.19 Starting conversations in class is a great opportunity to meet people who are interested in the same kind of studies as you are.Short friendly discussions can build lifelong friendship.※ Try out for a sport.If you’re athletic, trying out for a sport will do for you the same thing that joining a club will do.20 A.Close the door to keep away from theft.Hang a welcome sign on your dorm room.C.It also helps you get more familiar with the campus.D.Your roommate is the first person you will have close contact with.E.You will instantly meet a large group of people who share your interests in sports.F.Get to know your classmates as you’ll be spending several months with them.G.Trying actively to find new friends can help ease the feelings of being lonely.第二部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)
