第一节 阅读下面语言材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(A)
Clothes are traditionally made of natural materials, such as cotton, leather and wool. They are all from plants or animals, but that doesn't mean they are friendly to the earth. For example, farmers have to use a lot of chemicals to grow cotton plants.
Scientists are now looking for new ways to make clothing materials. They hope the new materials are both comfortable and good for the earth. Scientists have worked out how to make materials out of corn husks (壳), chicken feathers and rice straw.
“They used to be useless things. We always have a problem of how to deal with them.” Yang, a scientist says, “Now, we can turn them into beautiful materials. Chicken feathers are better than other things. They have small air pockets like honeycombs. That means it will be very warm if you use them to make a jacket or sweater, and I think more and more people will like to buy these kinds of clothes.”
( ) 1. What are clothes traditionally made of
A. Natural materials. B. Chicken feathers.
C. Rice straw. D. Steel.
( ) 2. What are the new clothing materials
A. Cotton and wool. B. Corn husks and rice straw.

A. How to reuse the useless things B. New clothes
C. Natural materials D. New clothing materials
(B)
Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands (品牌), thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality (质量) than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that's no longer the case. “Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones,” billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV9. But for those who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.
“When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big,” Li said. “But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US,they don't think there is a big difference.”
The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China which Western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a “home brand bias”.
More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products have increased their share of the market by 3.3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.
“Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don't just believe that foreign brands are better.Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China’ is not bad at all,” Charlie Chen,head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.
The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies—Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.
( ) 5. What is this passage mainly about
A. The quality of Made in China.
B. Chinese products in the eyes of foreigners.
C. The change in Chinese buyers' thinking.
D. Difference between older and younger Chinese buyers.
( ) 6. Who did most of the research for this report

C. South China Morning Post. D. Business Insider.
( ) 7. Which fact best explains “home brand bias”
A. Apple had a market share of 54% in 2015.
B. More than 90% of young Chinese buyers prefer home brands.
C. Chinese people born before 1985 think that foreign brands are better.
D. William Li found a big difference between China and Europe in 1997.
( ) 8. What's the best title for this passage
A. Young Chinese are crazy for foreign brands
B. Apple has lost large ground to Huawei in Chína
C. “Made in China” is welcomed all over the world
D. Chinese products get more popular at home
(C)
When Grandma welcomed us, she was dressed in bright colors and wore jewelry (珠宝) I never knew she had. She seemed to be in a good mood (心情), but because of her deafness,communication was still difficult.
It had been half a year since my last visit. She must have thought that as an overseas student. I don't get to eat much good food anymore. So, with her wrinkled (皱纹) hand, she passed me some homemade pastries (糕点).
Her hands tested the temperature of my cup again and again, and every time it showed a slight sign of cooling down. Grandma poured in more hot water. She also never allowed me to stop eating. As soon as I finished what was on my plate, she gave me something new to try. Finally, when my stomach couldn't take any more, she stopped and held my hands as she sat beside me.
When it was time to leave, she walked downstairs to see us off. The sun shined on the white pearls(珍珠) round her neck. She was smiling, and her wrinkles sat happily on her soft skin. People usually compare wrinkles to a dry tree trunk (树干). But to me, my grandmother's wrinkles are among the loveliest things I've ever seen.
There used to be a time when I disliked old age and stayed away from elderly people, but that was because of my ignorance (无知). And now I understand that there's beauty in everything. My grandma’s wrinkles are just like a thousand stories being told all at once.
( ) 9. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. Grandma was happy to see the writer. B. Grandma could communicate very well.
C. Grandma didn't like to talk with people. D. Grandma was in good health.
( ) 10. How long hasn't the writer visited her grandma
A. For a week. B. For half a year.
C. For two months. D. For half a month.
( ) 11. Which is the right order about what my grandma did in Paragraph 3
①sat beside me ②gave me more to eat ③poured more hot water ④tested the temperature of my cup
A. ②④①③ B. ①③①② C. ②④③① D. ④③②①
( ) 12. What does the writer mainly want to tell us
A. Grandma cares more about her wearing.
B. Her grandma is good at cooking.
C. She believes there is beauty in everything.
D. She dislikes to stay with elderly people.
(D)
①When it comes to Chinese students considering studying in foreign countries, many of them usually believe that life will be easy and enjoyable. Unfortunately, it's likely that students with those beliefs will be disappointed very soon after landing at the airport.
②So., what are the problems you may have, and how can you deal with them
③Teaching and learning style s in America are very different from those in China, requiring more critical thinking (批判性思维) and teamwork. In a normal American classroom, one project might be done by a study group in which every person has his/her own responsibility.
④So don't worry about your language or any grammar mistakes. Just watch what other students do,and don't be afraid to ask any questions. The discussions, or sometimes even arguments, that your group members and you hold are likely to be the beginning of a friendship.
⑤Beside schoolwork, another important thing faced by overseas students is homesickness or loneliness. You may miss your parents' cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. Being away from home can create bitter feelings, especially when faced with the challenges of getting used to a new environment.
⑥What I strongly suggest is to try hard to deal with these feelings. Be open to new friendships.Sign up for school activities, and give yourself permission to enjoy life at school, even if you miss home a lot. Be organized and keep a diary to check your progress. Write down three new things that you're grateful for every evening, as well as three things you're looking forward to every morning.
⑦Studying abroad is never simple. In fact there will be many difficulties every day. But I'm sure you will overcome your difficulties and make your time overseas a success.
( ) 13. The article is written for .
A. teachers B. parents C. students D. travelers
( ) 14. Students in America finish their schoolwork by .
A. thinking critically alone B. working in a group
C. watching what others do D. arguing with other students
( ) 15. Which is NOT the suggestion to deal with homesickness according to the article
A. Keep a diary. B. Make new friends.
C. Take part in school activities. D. Write a letter to parents daily.
( ) 16. How is the article organized
A. ①//②③//④⑤//⑥⑦ B. ①②//③④//⑤⑥//⑦
C. ①//②③④//⑤//⑥⑦ D. ①②//③④⑤//⑥⑦

Here is a pair of wooden shoes. Do you know who invented them and wore them Probably you can't give an answer. Through the ages, wooden shoes were found all over Europe. Some even say that the French invented the wooden shoes. The fact is that nowadays wooden shoes are a true symbol ofHolland (荷兰).
Wooden shoes were worn by the early Germans who ruled Holland. They wore wooden shoes because wooden shoes didn't get broken easily and were cheaper than shoes made of leather. In Holland,the ground was always wet. Wooden shoes were perfect because they were water resistant (防水的)and easy to put on and take off.
Originally, wooden shoes were made by hand. Special carving tools were used to make wooden shoes. The long process allowed a shoemaker to produce only three pairs each day. Over the years,special tools were invented and shoemakers could make more wooden shoes a day. Today, wooden shoes are made on large machines. They are painted and decorated (装饰) mostly by hand.
Wooden shoes can keep our feet dry and wearing them is even considered to be healthy. However,very few Dutchmen (荷兰人) wear them nowadays. If you want a picture of someone wearing them,you need to travel to the countryside in search of farmers and workers.
41. What are the shoes made of
42. Are wooden shoes today made by hand
43. Who usually wears wooden shoes nowadays in Holland
44. What kind of shoes do you like best Why (write 30 words or more)

V. 45. One possible version:
A Child or Two
Recently we discussed whether a couple should have a child or two. Some people think it is good to have one child in a family. They think it is much easier to look after only one child so that parents can
have more time for their work. Parents can also save more money for family traveling and something else.
Others think having two children in a family is much better because the kids won't feel lonely and they can help each other. What's more, when they grow up, they can take turns to look after their parents which will make parents happier.
In my opinion, two children in a family can live more happily because they can help and support each other, and they can also learn from each other.Besides, if there are more people in a family, life will be more interesting.
