第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
IN CONTEXT BRANCH Geology BEFORE 6th century BCE The Greek thinker Thales of Miletus notes magnetic rocks, or lodestones (天然磁石). 1st century CE Chinese diviners make primitive compasses with iron spoon that can turn around to point south. 1269 French scholar Pierre de Maricourt sets out the basic laws of magnetic attraction, repulsion, and poles, AFTER 1824 French mathematicianSiméon Poisson models the forces in a magnetic field. 1940s American physicist Walter Maurice Elsasser attributes Earth’ s magnetic field to iron swirling in its outer core as the planet rotates. 1958 Explorer 1 space mission shows Earth’ s magnetic field extending far out into space. By the late 1500s, ships’ captains already relied on magnetic compasses to maintain their course across the oceans. Yet no one knew how they worked. Some thought the compass needle was attracted to the North Star, others that it was drawn to magnetic mountains in the Arctic. It was English physician William Gilbert who discovered that Earth itself is magnetic. Stronger reasons are obtained from sure experiments and demonstrated arguments than from probable conjectures (推测) and the opinions of philosophical speculators. William Gilbert Gilbert's breakthrough came not from a flash of inspiration, but from 17 years of careful experiments. He learned all he could from ships’ captains and compass makers, and then he made a model globe, or"terrella". out of the magnetic rock lodestone and tested compass needles against it. The needles reacted around the terrella just as ships’ compasses did on a larger scale— showing the same patterns of declination (pointing slightly away from true north at the geographic pole, which differs from magnetic north) and inclination (tilting down from the horizontal toward the globe), Gilbert concluded, rightly, that the entire planet is a magnet and has a core of iron, He published his ideas in the book DeMagnete (On the Magnet) in 1600, causing a sensation, Johannes Kepler and Galileo, in particular, were inspired by his suggestion that Earth is not fixed to rotating celestial spheres, as most people still thought, but is made to spin by the invisible force of its own magnetism.
21. Before the 16th century, how did captains navigate across oceans
A. The North Star navigated their ships.
B. The forces in a magnetic field attracted the ships.
C. Magnetic compasscs helped them maintain the course.
D. The magnetic mountains in the Arctic guided their journey.
22. How did William Gilbert find out the fact that Earth itself is magnetic
A. Through trials and errors.
B. By acquiring some flash inspiration.
C. By studying the ideas of some philosophers.
D. Through some personal philosophical speculation.
23. Which of the following statement might Galileo agree with
A. The earth stays movable.
B. The earth has its own magnetic field.
C. Gilbert's findings and conclusions are sensational.
D. Gilbert successfully refuted the laws of magnetic attraction.

Two things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and it's true. I would be different if my mom hadn't turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson that I carry with me today.
My parents were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don't know how she did it. Managing the family budgét must have been hard, but she made it look effortless. If we complained, we'd hear something like, "I don't care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room, a car for your birthday or a lavish sweet-16 party. "We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. Like the two little girls growing up at the White House, we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done) and picked up after ourselves. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.
It was summer and, one day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed — and: there it was in the window. White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the basket winked| at me and I knew — I knew — I had to have it.
"It's beautiful, "my mother said. "What a neat basket. "
I tried to hold off at first. I played it cool for a short while, But then I guess I couldn't stand it any longer, "Mom, please can I please, please get it I' ll do what you say, but I need that basket. I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please "
I was desperate.
"You know, "she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever, "If you save up you could buy this yourself. "
"By the time I make enough it' ll be gone!"
"There might be another way. "
And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldn't find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work here and there (washing the car, helping my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front). And then, weeks later, I counted, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy day! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we'd agreed upon....
Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I'd played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny; new bike that already had all the bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. This horrible turn of events.
And then came the lesson I' ve taken with me through my life: "Honey, your basket is extra-special, "Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears. "Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself. "
24. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs

B. Managing family budget was hard but worth.

During a judging period for a recent short story contest, I started thinking a lot about dialogue tags. Because in many submissions characters didn't"say"a thing. They shouted, they inquired, they assumed. Some characters screamed while others murmured. But no one"said" anything. And I started wondering why.
Why do we tell beginner writers to avoid creative dialogue tags in the first place Why do we insist that characters should stick to"said, ""asked, "and the occasional"sighed "And, if the advice is so oft-repeated, why are writers still unable to resist the siren call of weep, scream, snap, or laugh
The more I thought about it, the more I understood the temptation. We' re always encouraged to use strong, actionable verbs in our prose. Why walk when you can skip or wander Why cry when you can sob or weep Why wouldn't we reach for exciting verbs instead of mild- boring dull-blah said Why couldn't each verb be a tiny sparkling gem in its own right
The problem, I think, is that every jewel needs a setting to become something more than the sum of its parts. Without something to provide structure, a collection of the world's most glorious diamonds would still only amount to a heap of rocks.
And a dialogue tag should never, ever be the diamond in any given sèntence.
Dialogue is your diamond, friends. When we read your work, your dialogue should be so bright, so sparkling, so lifelike, so wonderfully realistic that our brains"hear"each line instead of merely reading it. We don't need to be told a character is shouting - we can sense it in the way they spit out words, clench fists, or storm from the room.
A dialogue tag is a mere signpost along the narrative journey, gently indicating who said what. It's part of a story's experience, but it's not part of the story itself, nor should it be treated as such. Dialogue tags are similar to lighting in a Broadway play: without it. the audience would have no idea what was going on, but it usually strives to shine without calling too much attention to itself.
What's more, readers may not initially imagine a particular line being"sobbed. "When we reach the end of a sentence and find out our leading lady has actually sobbed instead of whispered, it pulls us right out of the story. We pause. We reread the line. We adjust our understanding and begin again. But that wonderful momentum when we' re fully immersed in the scene, holding our breath to find out what our heroine says next, is lost.
Creating a successful work of fiction is about giving the reader all the materials they need to build your fictional world in their mind and not a scrap more. Readers need believable dialogue. They need voices so compelling that they pop right off the page and into our cars. And if you' ve created dynamic characters who speak words we can really hear you will never need to tell us how something was said.
Senior Editor
28. According to the Senior Editor, the beginner writers are tempted to .
A. replace a dull"said"with exciting verbs
B. omit what the character said in a dialogue
C. resist the warning against strong emotions
D. overuse the word"said"in their submissions
29. The Senior Editor compares dialogue tags to .
A. glorious diamonds B. heaps of rocks
C. tiny, sparkling gems D. Broadway play lighting
30. What can be inferred about the dialogue tags in a novel
A. The dialogue tag"say"can help keep readers immersed in the plot.
B. Effective dialogue tags should describe character's emotion directly.
C. Dialogue tags are said to be the most important aspect of storytelling.
D. A dialogue tag indicates a character's way of speech is part of narration.
31. The writer most probably agrees that .
A. writers should choose dynamic words for dialogue tags
B. good works of fiction give as many materials as possible
C. readers can not imagine a line without the dialogue tags
D. what was said should be prioritized over how it was said
D
Animal products could produce electricity, one British power company warns — and to give consumers a choice, it's offering what it calls the world's first vegan electricity.
Ecotricity, a renewable energy provider in the U. K., announced its electricity and gas would be certified vegan after it claimed half of British homes are powered by electricity made from animal pany founder Dale Vince accused companies that consider themselves" ethical"or"green"of keeping consumers in the dark about their"secret ingredient. " "We need clear labeling of energy sourcing so that people can make informed choices, "he said in a statement.
The company offers"vegan energy"in wind and solar power, and it's developing"sea power"produced by wave oscillation and marine currents. None of Ecotricity’ s electrical sources contains animal byproducts that the company knew of before it made the announcement, but it registered with the Vegan Society to certify its green status.
Though not widely open, it's fairly common for power companies to get electricity from animals through anaerobic digestion(厌氧消化). Animal waste is generally considered a clean, renewable energy source, Turning manure(肥料) into fuel eliminates a sizeable chunk of carbon pollution and lessens power companies’ reliance on"dirtier"fossil fuels like coal and oil. Plus, animals provide a limitless supply of waste, while Earth's natural gas stores are finite, so crackers wouldn't need to drill into rock to extract it.
Cows are pictured at a Wagyu cattle breeding center in June in Petit-Mars, France. A U. K. energy company announced the first"vegan electricity"after warning consumers about animal byproducts in energy production.
After anaerobic digestion, farmers can use the liquid remains of the manure as fertilizer and make chips for animal bedding from the solid leftovers, chemical engineer DavidSimakov told Popular Science.
"We are talking about producing the amount of renewable natural gas enough to heat thousands of homes from just a single large landfill site, "he said. "We need to stop pumping carbon from underground into the atmosphere and start caring about introducing more and more renewable energy to make our lives more sustainable. "
Renewable energy only accounts for 11 percent of energy consumption in the U. S., according to the Energy Information Administration. Fossil fuels and nuclear energy generate more than 80 percent of the country’ s clectricity, and that’ s unlikcl y to change: like other clean energy sources, anacrobic digestion is still more expensive than traditional sources of energy.
32. According to Dale Vince, .
A. vegan electricity and gas shouldn't use animal byproducts
B. it's not certain whether Ecotricity has used animal byproducts
C. it's necessary for consumers to know how electricity is produced
D. people don't need to make choices of whether to use vegan electricity
33. In Paragraph 2, "secret ingredient"refers to .
A. animal waste B. vegan energy
C. an energy provider D. energy labeling
34. What can be inferred from the passage
A. It's forbidden to get exploited natural gas since it is limited.
B. Clean energy may not replace fossil fuels to be used by families.
C. Power companies can rely on animal waste to produce clean energy.
D. The waste of cows is first used to produce clean energy in the world.
35. What does the author think of clean energy
A. It has been a mainstream.
B. It has a promising future.
C. Consumers tend to use more clean energy now.
D. Its producing cost has decreased its popularity.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It seems that deep, long-lasting happiness comes from intangible things, rather than things like chocolates and smart-phones. 36 People who have the support of family members and also have strong friendships are more likely to be happy. Feeling protected and respected and knowing you can trust in the people around you is vital. But happiness means you have to give and take. Performing acts of kindness and generosity on a regular basis, for example, listening to a friend in need or carrying a neighbor's shopping, will make you feel on top of the world. 37 In fact, they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating 2,000 bars of chocolates(not all at once, of course),
It is not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness. 38 But being healthy and staying healthy require some effort. A healthy diet is crucial and so is regular exercise. Laziness will not make you happy. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce stress and anxiety and makes you feel more positive and optimistic because it releases endorphins(feel-good chemicals). So, if you have been feeling blue and worrying too much about your exams, get exercising. 39
Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling miserable 40 Teenagers tend to go to bed too late and have to get up early, so many suffer from a lack of sleep. Tiredness will certainly affect your happiness levels and put you in a bad mood. It also affects your ability to concentrate and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know the theory, it's time to put it all into practice.
A. You' ll also find that you sleep better.
B. Even a simple smile can work wonders.
C. One essential factor is human relationships.
D. In the end, happiness comes from good sleep.
E. If so, it's probably because you haven't had enough of it.
F. Sustainable happiness may be more spiritual than material.
G. Poor health will certainly make you feel down in the mouth.

More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods.
The rise of"city breaks"48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure(基础设施) as residents to reach them. "Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time, "says Font, an expert in tourism. "For 43 , the city no longer belongs to them. "
In response to this situation, cities have come up with various solutions. For instance, Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city center on its official website. "That takes courage, really, to do that, But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’ re doing all they can to 45 congestion. "
But it also proposes a better way, which is called"de-tourism"; sustainable travel tips and 46 schedules for exploring a real Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.
A greater varicty of 47 for prospective visitors — ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center — can have the effect of removing them from already crowded landmarks, or 48 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. ‘If you go to Paris for two days, you’ re going to the Eillel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you' re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times. "Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , "We should be asking how we can get tourists to 51 , not how to get them to come for the first time. If they' re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behaviors with ours. "
Font says cities could stand to be more 52 about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they' ve come. "You' re thinking. ' yeah but at what cost···'"He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourist for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourists — a(n) 53 that fails to take into account Japanese bigger carbon footprint. 54 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local products, and spread out to less crowded parts of the city — all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.
41. A. longer B. shorter C. wider D. clearer
42. A. environmental B. national C. economic D. geographic
43. A. locals B. tourists C. visitors D. cleaners

第二节 短文填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单同或括号内单词的正确形式。
Math and literature are probably two of the subjects that bring students headaches. However, scientists wonder 56 the beauty of math can be lound in literary works. Once Upon a Prime: The Wondrous Connections between Mathematics and Literature, a book 57 (publish) recently by UK mathematician Sarah Hart, presents some interesting thoughts about
"three". She argues that the beauty of this number is indeed evident in many works of western literature and languages in general.
"Three"is the minimum number 58 which a two-dimensional shape can be defined. For example, three sticks can create a triangle, a stable structure. Many common phrases are in three words, such as"ready, set, go". In stories, there are usually three main characters, such as Harry, Ron and Hermione in the Harry Potter series. For a series of novels, there are usually three books rather than four, according to Hart.
Why is it always the third son who 59 (behave) differently from his two older brothers, thus 60 (win) the princess "The reason for this, "Hart explains, "is obvious. We require two 61 (repeat) to get to know the pattern, so that the breaking of the pattern in the third character can surprise or amuse us. "
Similarly, another study by researchers at the University of Vermont also connected math and storytelling. They analyzed more than 1, 300 fiction books and arranged for 10, 000 words from the books 62 (rate) by 50 participants on a happiness scale of 1 to 9. Then the ratings 63 (categorize) into different graphs, which showed how the readers' emotions changed while reading. It turned out that each story fit 64 (perfect) into one of six basic graphs, a mathematical pattern.
"The idea 65 one would have to choose between mathematics and literature is something of a tragedy, "Hart says, "The two fields are fundamentally linked".

阅读下面材料，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。
I stood in the restaurant kitchen, my eyes wide, arms hanging awkwardly, ready to work but unsure of what to do. "You will be trained first, "my manager Aaron said, "and do remember to check every detail!"With these words, he walked away.
A workmate threw me a dish brush and said, "Let's get started. " He introduced me to the basics of washing dishes and demonstrated the process. This was the beginning of my part-time job, a new stage where I was both eager to learn and anxious about the challenges ahead.
On a Friday night, Aaron swiftly entered the kitchen. "Who has just bused(收拾) the back right table "he shouted, his voice sharp with urgency. My hands, slippery with bubbles from the bowl I was washing, nearly let it slip through my fingers. I wanted to say I was guilty, but Aaron's cold stare didn't promise a happy reward for the guy who admitted. Finally, a mix of fear and my own conscience pushed the response out of my mouth.
"I did, Aaron. "
"What were you thinking Get back out here and look at what you missed!"His words forced me forward. I grabbed a rag(抹布) and followed him out to table twenty-two. As we made our way through the restaurant, he said something about rags, but I didn't hear clearly with other conversations going on around us.
I quickly realized the true issue was the mess beneath the table. A nearly full cup of beer had tipped over, creating a small lake on the floor. It was a significant mistake on my part. "Take care of it!"Aaron tuned and stormed off to the front of the restaurant.
I dropped down to clean up the beer. That was when another problem occurred. I had brought only one rag. One already wet rag. It did nothing but increase the size of the lake. "More rags, "I thought. Immediately, I rushed into the kitchen and hurriedly grabbed five dry rags, hoping Aaron wouldn't notice my brief absence.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I had just rushed out when I found Aaron standing in my way.
After cleaning up the mess, I reflected on Aaron's words.

W: Eason, could you tell us how you got started as a living statue performer
M: Well... it is not actually something I planned to do. It was a fun job I look on while I was at university to earn a bit of extra money and when I did it actually, it turned out that I was quite good at it.
W: What do you have to do as a living statue
M: Firstly, you should come up with a creative idea and then you have to practice and find the right clothes and stuff and do the full body make-up.
W: You won the World Living Statue Championships recently. Could you tell us something about that
M: Um, for the World Championships I was a stone statue and I painted in those tiny marks so that I looked like a kind of old, almost falling apart statue, and I think the judges really appreciated that.
W: Yep, I get it. So what is the point of doing this job
M: The point really is the connection you make with your audience. When you make a tiny movement they tend to explode with laughter. And it's that interaction between the audience and the performer that's really what it's all about.
W: And what is the secret of being a good living statue
M: Firstly, never try and perform on an empty stomach. If you get hungry, you can start to feel light-headed, so you always need to eat something first. Well, good stomach muscles are key, too. You need to have them to hold those positions.

W: Here's your new library card. It will run out one year later from today and allow you to borrow up to 15 books per month. The library is open from 9 a. m. to 7 p. m. every day except Sundays and public holidays. On the first floor, you' ll find fiction, literature, biography, travel and lifestyle books, gardening books, and cookbooks. There's also a photocopier for public use. Copies cost twenty cents each, but I recommend you buy a monthly copier card for $10, which gives you 60 copies per month at a reduced price.
On the second floor, you' ll find technology, geography, science books, and children's books. There's a small children's recreation area there as well, and on Saturdays, we hold a story-reading morning for young kids.
The third floor has history, maps, newspapers, journals, and arts and humanities books.
We have computers with Internet access on the fourth floor. The computers are free to use, but there's a two-hour limit. It's first-come, first-served. Just put your name down on the list if you want to use one. If you want to use your own computer in the library, we have free wireless access as well.
That's about it. Do you have any questions

参考范文
I had just rushed out when I found Aaron standing in my way. "What's up "he asked sharply, his eyes fixed on me. Feeling the weight of my mistake, I stammered nervously, "I need dry rags... to... clean... "Upon hearing this, Aaron let out a heavy sigh. "You should have checked every detail, "he remarked, a hint of disappointment in his voice. "This job isn't just about reacting, it's also about being careful. Now, go clean that up!"Avoiding his gaze, I dashed towards table twenty-two. With an ample supply of rags, I threw myself into the task, tirelessly mopping, scrubbing, and wiping.
After cleaning up the mess, I reflected on Aaron's words. They were sharp but absolutely right. My inexperience and initial anxiety in this new job had led me to overlook crucial details, and I should have been more mindful of my work. Taking a deep breath, I returned to my duties, bearing Aaron's words in mind. With very dish washed and every table cleared, I made sure to double-check my work. Everything went well and soon I realized this carefulness would not just apply to cleaning; it would influence every aspect of my job, preparing me to embrace any challenge with responsibility and confidence.
