A
With the new semester about to start, our school is welcoming a group of new international students. We have some apps here with an English version that will make your life easier. We hope you will have a wonderful life here.
★WeChat
WeChat is now the most popular social media app in China. Almost everyone is using WeChat. You can send both text and voice messages on WeChat. You can also make voice and video calls. You can also post texts, pictures and video clips. If your friends in your home country have this app, you can also chat with them through voice or video. WeChat is also widely used now as a form of payment which can be used in stores, online, and in other shopping apps.
★Alipay
Alipay is a similar app to PayPal. It was first used on Taobao and now people can use it as a mobile payment option. You can even use mobile payment at street vendors, so if you have this app, you can leave your wallet at home.
★Didi
Now Didi seems to be the smartest way to travel around. With one tap, a car comes directly to you. Didi is a Chinese car-hailing service app. It has a function called “ride sharing”, which saves a lot of money for passengers, but it does not have an English version, so if you want to use it, you will have to learn some Chinese.
★Pleco
This is one of the top Chinese/English dictionary apps and it covers 130,000 Chinese words and includes 20,000 example sentences with pinyin. It is perfect for those who want to learn Chinese, and also for tourists who need to translate words or phrases from English to Chinese.
1. Alipay was originally developed to ________.
A. pay for a car-hailing service
B. compete with WeChat in payments
C. be used on online shopping website Taobao
D. be convenient for people who leave their wallet at home

A. learn some Chinese B. know how to use WeChat
C. have a passenger to ride with D. download an English version app
3. Which app is helpful for learning Chinese
A. Didi. B. Pleco. C. WeChat. D. Alipay.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个应用程序的情况。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据★Alipay部分中“It was first used on Taobao and now people can use it as a mobile payment option.(它最初在淘宝上使用，现在人们可以把它作为一种移动支付选项)”可知，最初开发支付宝是为了在网上购物网站淘宝上使用。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据★Didi部分中“It has a function called “ride sharing”, which saves a lot of money for passengers, but it does not have an English version, so if you want to use it, you will have to learn some Chinese.(它有一个叫“拼车”的功能，这为乘客节省了很多钱，但它没有英文版本，所以如果你想使用它，你必须学习一些中文)”可知，如果一个外国朋友想使用滴滴，他应该学习一些汉语。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据★Pleco部分中“It is perfect for those who want to learn Chinese, and also for tourists who need to translate words or phrases from English to Chinese.(它非常适合那些想学中文的人，也适合那些需要将英语单词或短语翻译成中文的游客)”可知，Pleco对学习中文有帮助。故选B。
B
In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted(编织)hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project.
“I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said, “What’s important is that I listen.”
I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath.” I said.
My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert ” My mother grasped one of my hands and said in a proud tune, “I’m the only person she talked to today.”
It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is near eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.
4. What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors
A. To improve their living conditions.
B. To inquire their eating habits.
C. To ease their loneliness.
D. To teach them surviving skills.
5. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Speak all the time. B. Blame others’ behaviours.
C. Miss important information. D. Hurt your hearing.
6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The author started to telephone seniors as her mother.
B. The author realized the value of her mother’s efforts.
C. The author’s mother preferred to live alone.
D. The author’s mother remained connected to the world.
7. What is the suitable title for the passage
A. Seniors’comfort B. Mother’s evenings C. Aging:my concern D. Nightly calls, lifeline calls
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主人公我通过对妈妈热心地给陌生老人打电话这件事情的看法的描述，从不理解到最后理解，意识到了妈妈的这一行为给无数居家老人的孤独生活带来了慰藉。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中““It doesn’t matter,” she said, “What’s important is that I listen.”(她说道：“没关系，重要的是我在听”)”和最后一段的“I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.(我经常是唯一一个给我母亲打电话的人，有时我是她整天唯一说话的人。我问她晚餐做了什么，但大部分时间我只是听她描述一次散步，或者她的狗Lucky如何从冰箱里偷食物。我意识到，我母亲的电话是生命线，确保居家老人与世界保持联系。没有她，他们的世界将是空虚的)”推知，妈妈给老人打电话的目的是缓解他们的孤独感。故选C。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线句子后的一句“Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath.(有些人都不会停下来喘口气)”可知，妈妈的朋友以及作者的两个姐妹会一直讲话，故此处的“talk your ear off”意为“一直讲话”。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.(我意识到妈妈的电话是生命线，能够确保那些居家的老人依旧和这个世界保持着联系。没有妈妈，他们的世界会是一片空虚)”推知，作者最终意识到了妈妈的努力是有价值的。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段的“It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is near eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make.(我花了30多年的时间才完全理解这句话的含义。现在，我的母亲已经快八十岁了，我发现自己总是想起她过去每晚打的电话)”和“I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world.(我意识到妈妈的电话是生命线，能够确保那些居家的老人依旧和这个世界保持着联系)”可知，文章主要讲述了妈妈利用晚上的时间给老年人打的电话以及这些电话对老年人的意义，故D项“晚间电话，生命的电话”可作为文章标题，故选D。
C
Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you're one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.
Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.
While limited within the walls of the educational places, we openly explore other cultures of the world! We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable things to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures, getting more experience.
When there's a recession in the economy（经济）, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished high school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.
When you're skillful and knowledgeable, you gain access to people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.
A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what's on sale in stores. An educated person doesn't gossip（说闲话）, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.
8. What can we learn about college education from Paragraph 2
A. It offers you a chance to study abroad. B. It can allow you to gain more knowledge.
C. It can improve the quality of your daily life. D. It encourages you to travel around the world.
9. What does the underlined word "recession" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. change. B. drop. C. growth. D. support.
10. How can one benefit from a good education
A. You can gossip about others’ affairs. B. You are likely to study well at school.
C. You can work well with your coworkers. D. You get to know excellent people with similar interests.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The benefits of attending college. B. The exchange with other cultures.
C. The access to good networking. D. The ways of college education.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。一些高中生认为接受高等教育是无用的。因此，他们选择不上大学。就此作者表达了应该去大学接受良好教育的一些理由。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge.”可知学校和大学是获得知识的第一个地方。即它能使你获得更多知识。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished high school and have a limited skills set”可知那些上过大学的人比那些高中毕业、技能有限的人更有可能找到一份新工作，这应是在经济衰退时期，就业率不高的情况下得出的结论，划线部分单词含义为“衰退，下降”，A. Change.改变；B. Drop.下降；C. Growth.增长；D. Support.支持。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When you're skillful and knowledgeable, you gain access to people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking.（当你有技能，知识渊博时，你就能接触到有相似背景和品位的人。这意味着良好的教育可以导致好的关系网）”可知，良好的教育可以使你结识更优秀的，有相同兴趣的人。故选D。
11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.（以下是你应该上大学，接受良好教育的原因）”以及全文内容可知，文章主要内容为讨论去上大学的理由以及大学教育带来的好处。故选A。
D
The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. ”
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.”
“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”
12. What is the purpose of the project
A. To ensure harmony in care homes. B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged.
C. To raise money for medical research. D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare.
13. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier
A. She has learned new life skills. B. She has gained a sense of achievement.
C. She has recovered her memory. D. She has developed a strong personality.
14. What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7
A. Improve. B. Oppose. C. Begin. D. Evaluate.
15. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs
A. It is well received. B. It needs to be more creative.
C. It is highly profitable. D. It takes ages to see the results.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了旨在减少孤独，改善老年人的健康状况的项目。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing (该项目由当地一家慈善机构构想，旨在减少孤独，改善老年人的健康状况。)”可知，这个项目的目的是为了减少孤独和提高老年人的幸福感。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段““It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.” (有不同的关注点很好。人们把自己的孩子带进来看母鸡，居民们也来外面坐着看它们。我喜欢创造性的活动，做一些有用的事情的感觉很好。)”可知，Ruth Xavier很享受做这些事，她觉得自己在做有用的事，这能够给她来良好的感觉，因此可知通过该项目她获得了一种成就感。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.” (彭福街60号的额外护理经理Wendy Wilson是第一批参与该项目的人之一，她说：“居民们非常欢迎该项目的想法和创意会议。我们期待这个项目能给这里的人们带来好处和乐趣。”)”可知，Wendy Wilson是着手这项工程的人之一，也是做这个项目的创始人之一，因此可知，画线处embark on意为“开始着手做某事”，与C项“Begin (开始)”含义相近。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here. (居民们非常欢迎该项目的想法和创意会议。我们期待这个项目能给这里的人们带来好处和乐趣。)”以及最后一段“Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.” (“诺丁山路径”的负责人林恩·刘易斯说：“我们很高兴能参与这个项目。它将通过共同的兴趣和创造性活动真正帮助我们的居民联系起来。”)”可知，该项目得到了居民们的认可，大家很欢迎这个项目，而且这个项目将会带来一些好处，因此可知这个项目的反响很好，很受欢迎。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何找到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,”(《健身杂志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是：“如果你知道有人在健身房等你，你就会去锻炼。”)”以及后文“With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. (有一个锻炼伙伴，你将会努力训练，因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知，空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由，故选项应与后文是顺承关系，选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应，选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练，你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先，决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility (或者你只是想要身体健康，能够移动的力量和灵活性 )”可知，这里是一个问句，反问自己结伴锻炼的目的，故空处与后文是选择关系，你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗 )”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西，但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼，那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知，寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应，选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼，每周多少天，每次培训要花多少小时，以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动，并提供了她的电话号码)”可知，本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结，符合语意。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. (久而久之，你们双方都会受益—你的伴侣会举起更多的重量，你也会变得更健康。你们关系的核心是你们永远在一起互相帮助)”可知，要学会求同存异，一起合作，共同提高。选项F中的“differences”对应前文的“different skills”，选项中的“work with each other”对应后文的“be there to help each other”，故选项F“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同，学会彼此合作)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语意。故选F项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。在过去的十年里，生活在北京的希腊摄影师乔治·杜帕斯一直在拍摄这座城市，捕捉它的美丽，并在网上和展览中分享这些照片。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意：在过去的十年里，他一直在拍摄这座城市，捕捉它的美丽，并在网上和展览中分享这些照片。根据句意和空格后的sharing分析句子可知，sharing和上文的photographing以及capturing是并列关系，所以空格处应该填入并列连词and。故填and。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：“这真正代表了北京——旧与新，完美地融合在一起，”杜帕斯在展示他拍摄的智化寺的照片时说，智化寺是一座精致的明代建筑。根据句意和所给形容词true分析句子可知，空格处应该填入形容词true的副词形式truly作状语，修饰后面的动词represent。故填truly。
【38题详解】
考查时态、固定搭配和主谓一致。句意：它位于现代办公大楼银河SOHO的前面，以编织的桥梁和环环相扣的通道为特色。根据句意和所给动词locate分析句子可知，此处是考查动词locate的用法be located in+地点（坐落于……）；根据句意和后面从句的时态是一般现在时可知，主句也应该用一般现在时；再由主语it可知，谓语动词应该用单数形式。故填is located。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：北京拥有丰富历史遗产，自明朝以来一直是中国传统文化的重要中心。根据句意分析句子可知，空格处是该句子的谓语部分，由时间状语since the Ming Dynasty可知，句子应该用现在完成时；再由主语Beijing可知，谓语动词应该用单数形式。故填has been。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：杜帕斯经常在这座城市辉煌的古建筑中迷路。根据句意和所给动词lose以及空格前的get分析句子可知，空格处应该填入形容词lost作表语。故填lost。
【41题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：同时，他也惊叹于这座融合了高端商业和各行业的现代化城市。根据句意和所给动词combine分析句子可知，空格处应该填入combine的非谓语形式作定语，修饰前面的名词city，因为名词city和动词combine之间是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词combining作定语。故填combining。
【42题详解】
考查连接副词。句意：他说：“看到一座快速发展的城市投入如此大的精力来保护它的过去，这是令人着迷的，这就是我决定在这里追求事业的原因。”根据句意分析句子可知，空格后的部分是一个表语从句，空格处应该填入一个连接词引导表语从句，且意义为“为什么”，所以应该用连接副词why。故填why。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：杜帕斯决心在中国继续他的职业生涯，希望成为中国和西方之间的桥梁。根据句意和空格后的单数可数名词bridge分析句子可知，空格处应该填入一个不定冠词，表泛指，因为bridge的发音是辅音音素开头，所以应该用不定冠词a。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查可数名词单复数。句意：展览展示了他关于北京的照片，吸引了希腊和捷克共和国的大量观众。根据句意和所给可数名词display分析句子可知，空格处是该句子的主语，由句中的助动词have可知，句子的主语应该是复数形式displays。故填displays。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：“我现在把北京当成我的家，”他说，“我会继续把中国的照片分享给世界其他地方。”根据句意和句中的动词share分析句子，此处是考查动词share和介词with的搭配：share something with somebody（和某人分享某物）。故填with。

47. 阅读下面的材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman.
It was Peggy’s idea. One day she said to me, “Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won’t believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.”
The “other” woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2, 500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with Mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.
Mom was surprised when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner.
“What’s wrong ” she asked.
“I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,” I said. “Just the two of us.”
“I would like that a lot,” she said.
When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. “I told my friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can’t wait to hear about our evening,” Mom said.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

Para 1: Minutes later, we arrived at a restaurant in the neighborhood.

Para 2:“How was your date ” Peggy asked when I got home.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Minutes later, we arrived at a restaurant in the neighborhood. Since Mom’s eyes could only see large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us. “It is time to let me return the favor,” I said. We had a nice talk over dinner, catching up on each other’s lives. We had been talking for so long until the restaurant closed. “I’ll go out with you again,” my mother said pleasantly as I dropped her off. Kissing goodbye with Mom, I drove home later.
“How was your date ” Peggy asked when I got home. “Nice…nicer than I thought it would be,” I said. I hugged Peggy tightly, whispering “Thank you, darling. You taught me the importance of family bond.” Peggy smiled and replied, “Yes, as your wife, I am willing to expect your more dates with Mom, for I love you.” Peggy was right. Dating another woman has helped my marriage.

In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted(编织)hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project.
“I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said, “What’s important is that I listen.”
I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath.” I said.
My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert ” My mother grasped one of my hands and said in a proud tune, “I’m the only person she talked to today.”
It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is near eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.
4. What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors
A. To improve their living conditions.
B. To inquire their eating habits.
C. To ease their loneliness.
D. To teach them surviving skills.
5. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Speak all the time. B. Blame others’ behaviours.
C. Miss important information. D. Hurt your hearing.
6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The author started to telephone seniors as her mother.
B. The author realized the value of her mother’s efforts.
C. The author’s mother preferred to live alone.
D. The author’s mother remained connected to the world.
7. What is the suitable title for the passage
A. Seniors’comfort B. Mother’s evenings C. Aging:my concern D. Nightly calls, lifeline calls
C
Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you're one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.
Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.
While limited within the walls of the educational places, we openly explore other cultures of the world! We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable things to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures, getting more experience.
When there's a recession in the economy（经济）, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished high school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.
When you're skillful and knowledgeable, you gain access to people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.
A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what's on sale in stores. An educated person doesn't gossip（说闲话）, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.
8. What can we learn about college education from Paragraph 2
A. It offers you a chance to study abroad. B. It can allow you to gain more knowledge.
C. It can improve the quality of your daily life. D. It encourages you to travel around the world.
9. What does the underlined word "recession" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. change. B. drop. C. growth. D. support.
10. How can one benefit from a good education
A. You can gossip about others’ affairs. B. You are likely to study well at school.
C. You can work well with your coworkers. D. You get to know excellent people with similar interests.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The benefits of attending college. B. The exchange with other cultures.
C. The access to good networking. D. The ways of college education.
D
The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. ”
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.”
“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”
12. What is the purpose of the project
A. To ensure harmony in care homes. B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged.
C. To raise money for medical research. D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare.
13. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier
A. She has learned new life skills. B. She has gained a sense of achievement.
C. She has recovered her memory. D. She has developed a strong personality.
14. What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7
A. Improve. B. Oppose. C. Begin. D. Evaluate.
15 What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs
A. It is well received. B. It needs to be more creative.
C. It is highly profitable. D. It takes ages to see the results.

After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman.
It was Peggy’s idea. One day she said to me, “Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won’t believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.”
The “other” woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2, 500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with Mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.
Mom was surprised when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner
“What’s wrong ” she asked.
“I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,” I said. “Just the two of us.”
“I would like that a lot,” she said.
When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. “I told my friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can’t wait to hear about our evening,” Mom said.
