As the oldest of three children, I never had any hand-me-downs to wear like other poor kids. Instead, Mom got my wardrobe(行头) from neighborhood mothers. Imagine the fun other kids had when they saw me wearing their used clothing.
Perhaps my biggest challenge came from Charlie. As far as I was concerned, Charlie’s main fun was to make fun of me. During those years, I slowly learned to hate. I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation.
But situations do change. That chance came after high school when I joined the Navy(海军). The Navy made me a social equal for the first time in my life, and the GI Bill gave me a college education. Hard work and a few lucky career(职业) choices finally lifted me into the middle class. I found myself living the American Dream.
One beautiful summer afternoon, my friend and I celebrated Friday in Jackson’s Steak House. For the first time in almost twenty years, I saw Charlie. Not only did I see him, but he spoke to me. I could tell he didn’t recognize me, but I surely recognized my childhood tormentor(摧残者). His words were short, but I’ll never forget them. He said, “Sir, what kind of dressing(调料) would you like with your salad ”
The tables had turned. Charlie was calling me “Sir”. While hundreds of improper ideas raced through my mind, I could only give a two-word reply: “Blue cheese.” As much as I wanted to taste the sweet taste of revenge(复仇), I refused to do it. I wouldn’t put another person through what I had gone through as a child. It was time to put childish things behind me and make use of the new opportunity that life had given me. I left him a good tip and I didn’t say one word about recognizing him.

B. His mum bought them for him.
C. Other poor kids collected them for him.
D. They were handed down by his brothers.
25. Which word best describes the author’s childhood

26. What job did Charlie probably do
A. A waiter. B. A hairdresser. C. A soldier. D. A cook.
27. What is the best title of the passage
A. Live your own American Dream B. Best memories in childhood
C. Growing up and letting go D. Don’t hate but love your enemy
C
Years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap, a disagreement between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience(服从), while children complained(抱怨) that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric(结构) of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and agree to, and to continue the family occupation(职业). In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.
In our easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the strong wish that parents have for their children is another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes.
28. What is the text mainly about
A. The reasons for generation gap. B. The concept of generation gap.
C. Ways to reduce generation gap. D. Attitudes towards generation gap.
29. In modern society, young people often ___________.
A. depend on their parents to make a life
B. live with their parents in the same area
C. have very little in common with their parents
D. ask their parents for the best advice
30. What can we know from paragraph 3
A. The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation.
B. Parents should be strict with their children.
C. Parents couldn’t do things well themselves.
D. The young never want to satisfy their parents.
31. Which of the following also causes the generation gap
A. Parents are not strict enough with their children.
B. The young value the old too much for their wisdom.
C. The society develops too fast.
D. Young people don’t have the knowledge of a lifetime.
D
African penguins stand only 50 cm tall. Like people, each penguin has its own voice. They live along the southern coast of Africa. Like all the other penguins, they hunt fish in the ocean and lay eggs on land. But they are smaller than their well-known cousins in Antarctica(南极洲) and larger than little penguins in Australia and blue penguins in New Zealand. But the African penguins have a problem—they are endangered.
The African penguins used to nest(筑巢) underground in the bird poop(粪便), which came from the penguins and other seabirds. Over hundreds of years, it had built up to form a thick layer as deep as 3 meters.
However, in the 1860s, people began collecting the poop to use it on farms. Now there’s no more poop to make nests. The penguins have to lay their eggs in the open. As a result, the penguins often get too hot. When the parents leave the eggs to cool themselves down in the water, other animals can easily find the eggs and eat them.
To solve the problem, the scientists set up an artificial(人造的) nest project in 2016. They came up with criteria for the nest. It had to protect penguin eggs from being eaten. It couldn’t flood(被淹没) in the rain. And it needed to keep penguin families cool. The scientists built 15 kinds of nests to find the perfect one. Finally two of them stood out. Both of them could let air flow through. The scientists plan to build more than 2,500 nests for the African penguins in the future. They hope the new nests can help increase the number of the endangered birds.
32. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. African penguins are usually 3 meters tall.
B. Blue penguins are smaller than African penguins.
C. African penguins prefer to lay eggs in the ocean.
D. African penguins live along the northern coast of Africa.
33. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. What the African penguins look like.
B. When the African penguins build nests.
C. How the African penguins make their nests.
D. Why the African penguins become endangered.
34. What does the underlined word “criteria” mean in paragraph 4
A. Prices. B. Memories. C. Standards. D. Conversations.
35. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. New nests will be built for the penguins in Australia.
B. The African penguins are in great danger nowadays.
C. The nests of the African penguins were built underground.
D. The scientists wanted to help the African penguins build their homes.

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Kelly,
I’ve been back home safely from England. Thank you for the warm help during my stay in England.
Last week, I participated in the Cultural Exchange Week. I enjoyed myself in your country. We paid a visit to the city museum and some places of interest, which made me have a better understanding of the English society, culture and history. Of course, I also made many new friends. What’s more, I was lucky enough to stay at your home. And I’ll never forget the days we spent together. Here I especially thank you for the dictionary you offered me as a gift, which is a great help for me to learn English well. And I will treasure and make full use of it.
Welcome to China when it’s convenient for you!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Instantly(立刻),I knew something was seriously wrong. At this moment, Bella faced the door, growling(咆哮着), with the hair raised on her back. I had never seen her like that before. Someone was in my house, and I was in danger. When I felt lost and helpless, Bella charged(冲出) through the bathroom door. I heard a struggle in the living room, crashing of furniture, a man yelling, and then the front door opening again. Bella went barking after him. I jumped out of the shower, got dressed quickly and called 911. Scared to go out, I waited until the police came.
Then I went outside to find Bella with the policemen. Thank goodness, we found her, unharmed. As the police asked questions and searched the house, Bella stayed by my side the whole time. The police found a man hiding behind a house down the street with a broken forearm and blood on his shirt from something that looked like a dog bite. Bella was my hero, and I was so thankful for her courage that night. I couldn’t imagine what would have happened if she hadn’t reacted so quickly and bravely. There is no doubt that she is my Bella the Angle!

W: Take a seat, young man. What’s wrong with you
M: Well, I have a terrible cough and a running nose.
W: I see. How long have you been feeling this way
M: For about two or three days. It started the day after I went swimming with some friends on Monday.
W: I’m afraid you’ve got a cold. Do you have a temperature
M: No. I don’t think so.
W: OK. I’ll just listen to your chest. Now breathe in and out slowly. And again. Good. That’s it. Well, I don’t think it’s serious. You just need to take some medicine.

W: Lovely weather!
M: Yes, it’s really warm.
W: I’ve seen you before, haven’t I
M: Well, you may have. I’ve been here once or twice for a walk in this quiet park. Do you live near here
W: Yes. I live in one of those flats over there. What about you
M: Oh, I’m staying with a family down near the station.
W: Are you on holiday
M: Well... er... I’m here to improve my English. I’m from Greece, you see.
W: Your English is very good.
M: Thank you very much.

M: Have you travelled much in Britain
W: No, not much. But I travel quite a lot in London every day.
M: What do you think of the London traffic
W: I think the London underground is OK because it’s fast and comfortable. And I also like London buses, especially for short journeys.
M: But don’t you think the buses are rather slow
W: Yes, I do. Particularly in rush hour.
M: What about London taxis
W: Taxis often get caught in traffic jams, and besides, they are too expensive.
M: Well, what do you think is the best way to travel in London
W: Ur... the London underground, I think.

W: Of course, thank you. Let’s find one more person... maybe that man over there. Excuse me, can I ask you a few questions about your health
M: What What What Do you think I have a health problem
W: Umm, do you have a problem
M: I can’t sleep at night. I just lost 30 pounds. I have been on a diet for almost a year now. I have to go running for two hours a day, but I miss what I used to eat.
W: What did you use to eat
M: Pizzas, burgers... I used to eat ice cream before going to bed. I know that is the reason I can’t sleep well. No ice cream, no sleep. What am I going to do
W: Well, I think you should talk to your doctor.
M: Do you think it is very important for me to see a doctor
W: That’s quite right because your doctor will give you some good advice.
M: Thank you for your kindness.

W: In February, 2005, my uncle Phillip was teaching his seventh-grade students a poem called Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. He liked the poem very much, so he recorded it on his home answering machine. When Phillip and his family returned home from their vacation, he listened to his voice messages. One old man said he dialed the wrong number. But, he added, he’d really enjoyed the poem. A few days later, that old man called. He said that he wanted to hear the poem again. The two men talked. John, now 73, who used to be a doctor, lived in another state. It turned out that his brother’s number was almost the same as my uncle’s. That was 13 years ago. They’ve spoken on the phone a few times a month ever since. They haven’t gone to a game together or had a cup of coffee together. Their friendship is just to pick up the phone. And to them their best friend is someone they’ve never met.
