But when books become really uncommon, or are connected with a historical event, their prices can rise to crazy levels. Now let’s look at what are the most expensive books in the world.‎ Bay Psalm Book Bay Psalm Book became the world’s most expensive printed book when it was sold at a New York auction(拍卖) in 2013 for $14.2 million. It was produced by the Puritan (清教徒) leaders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was the first printed book produced in what later became the United States.‎ Birds of ‎America The title of the most expensive printed book in the world used to be held by Birds of America. Naturalist and painter John James Audubon produced the book almost 200 years ago as part of his goal to paint every single bird in America. Audubon painted a number of birds that have since been thought dying out and the book was sold for $8.8 million to Sheikh Saud Al-Thani of Qatar in 2000.‎ Codex ‎Leicester Codex Leicester is the most expensive book ever sold. Bought by Bill Gates in 1994 for more than $30 million, it is arguably the most famous series of scientific journals of Leonardo da Vinci. The unbelievable price of the handwritten notebook is particularly notable as Codex Leicester contains only 18 sheets of paper, folded over and written on both sides, making up 72 pages of the notebook in all.‎ ‎21. What can we know about John James Audubon? ‎ ‎ A. He was a naturalist and painter.‎ ‎ B. He aimed to paint all birds in the world. ‎ ‎ C. He sold his book for $8.8 million in 2000.‎ ‎ D. He only painted birds that had died out.‎ ‎22. What is TRUE about Codex Leicester? ‎ ‎ A. It is a handwritten notebook. ‎ ‎ B. It contains eighteen pages.‎ ‎ C. Its author and owner are unknown. ‎ ‎ D It’s sold for $30 million by Bill Gates.‎ ‎23. What is the passage mainly talking about? ‎ ‎ A. The owners of the most expensive books.‎ ‎ B. How to recognize the value of a book. ‎ ‎ C. The most expensive books in the world.‎ ‎ D. The world’s most expensive printed books.‎ B ‎ Ask many actors and they will tell you it is hard to get work when you are just starting out and as you get older. However, it has not been the case for American musical actress Susan Watson.‎ In 1958, at the age of 20, Watson was offered a part in the musical, West Side Story, in London. At that time, she was still a student at New York City’s Juilliard School for musicians, dancers and actors. More than 50 years later, she was offered another part. Watson took an important role in a remake of the musical, Follies, at the Kennedy Center in Washington and the Marquis Theatre in New York City. In both cases, the offers came from musical theater legend Stephen Sondheim. He wrote the lyrics for West Side Story and the music and lyrics for Follies.‎ As a teenager, Watson developed her dancing, singing and acting skills in her hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. She traveled to study at New York City’s Juilliard School before Sondheim interrupted her studies with the offer of a part in West Side Story. The award-winning musical, based on William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, tells a story of the struggles of immigrants(移民) in New York City. In the following two decades, Watson had starring roles in such well-known musicals as The Fantasticks, Bye Bye Birdie, Carnival, ‎ Celebration and No, No, Nanette.‎ At age 78, Watson now lives in California, but she has not stopped performing. She just released a new album called The Music Never Ends. She says her new musical record is selling “very well” partly because people do not have to go to a store to buy it. They can buy it online, like almost any other product.‎ ‎24. What does the author mean by saying that it has not been the case for Susan Watson? ‎ ‎ A. She didn’t retire after she got old. ‎ ‎ B. She started out as an actress early.‎ ‎ C. She became an actress by chance. ‎ ‎ D. She doesn’t have trouble in getting work.‎ ‎25. What did Susan Watson do while studying in New York City’s Juilliard School? ‎ ‎ A. She received a very important offer.‎ ‎ B. She developed her dancing and singing skills.‎ ‎ C. She asked Stephen Sondheim for an opportunity.‎ ‎ D. She starred in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.‎ ‎26. Which of the following is the latest musical Susan Watson has starred in? ‎ ‎ A. West Side Story. B. Follies. ‎ ‎ C. The Fantasticks. D. Celebration.‎ ‎27. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. Famous musicals. B. A life-time musical actress.‎ ‎ C. Struggles of an actress. D. Well-known musicians.‎ C Did you ever wonder why your cat meows(猫叫)? The only time that cats meow at other cats, according to a study, is when they are kittens. A kitten will meow to its mom to show that it’s hungry or cold. But usually, cats stop meowing at other cats by the time they reach adulthood.‎ Some experts say that cats keep some of their kitten traits(特性) when they are raised as pets. A cat that is less independent might rely more on the meow and kitten-like behavior to get your attention. Cats may tend to view their owners as adoptive parents, so they will ‎ communicate with them like they would communicate with their real cat moms.‎ Meows have many different meanings. Cats may actually change the pitch(音高) and length of their meows depending on what they are communicating with you. A meow can be a friendly greeting when you get home or a request for playtime. If your cat feels neglected or lonely, it may meow at you to get your attention.‎ A cat may also meow to show you that something is wrong. If it is low on food or water, it expects a meow to let you know. If it gets itself accidentally locked in a cupboard, you’ll get a lot of loud meows until you realize where it is! A cat may also meow if it is feeling sick.‎ If your cat always meows for attention and it’s getting a little out of hand, don’t punish it. Instead, just start ignoring it when it meows, but rewarding it with attention when it’s quiet. It’ll likely figure out pretty quickly that meowing isn’t getting the results it’s seeking.‎ So next time your cat meows at you, remember that it means you’re pretty special. ‎ ‎28. What can we infer about cats from Paragraph 1? ‎ ‎ A. Kittens like meowing to their fathers.‎ ‎ B. Adult cats hardly meow at each other.‎ ‎ C. It’s their mothers that teach kittens to meow.‎ ‎ D. Meowing helps adult cats communicate with each other.‎ ‎29. According to experts, why do cats meow to their owners? ‎ ‎ A. Because they want their owners to notice and care about them.‎ ‎ B. Because they want to keep their kitten traits.‎ ‎ C. Because they mistake their owners for their mothers.‎ ‎ D. Because they miss their real mothers.‎ ‎30. According to Paragraph 4, what should you do if your cat meows at you sometimes? ‎ ‎ A. Play with it for a long time. B. Just ignore it and walk away.‎ ‎ C. Lock it in a cupboard to stop it. D. Try to find out what is wrong with it.‎ ‎31. Why should you reward your cat when it’s quiet? ‎ ‎ A. To show it you hate the noise. B. To confuse it and challenge it.‎ ‎ C. To train it not to keep meowing. D. To stop it from getting any attention.‎ D Are you glued（粘贴） to your laptop or other digital devices day after day? They are everywhere in your life. The fancier they are, the more you will want to access them. However, technology can really isolate (隔离) you from society or the community you live in. This can hamper your relationships with your friends, relatives, and colleagues.‎ Staying at home, being glued to your laptop, watching TV or playing video games all the time might make you happy, but it isolates you from your world. You will start to feel lonely, unwanted and uncared. Yes, technology will be there and it makes your life easy and comfortable, but don’t let yourself fall into the trap. The tech guys are there to develop fancier and more user-friendly digital devices every day. They are very clever at their jobs and they know how to attract people with their stuff.‎ Becoming addicted to technology will affect your health in a bad way if you don’t take proper action. That action is to turn off your digital devices and go out. It is necessary for you to communicate with people around you and knock on their doors to share a conversation, or ask them out for an activity such as shopping, eating together or going sight-seeing. Having a laugh together or sharing a joke with them might help you feel better.‎ You don’t need all the digital devices out there; keep what you think most important to you and let go of others. You were born to be happy. Life is not about technology but about the people you bond with. The more you interact with people, the better you will feel and fill your life with happiness and joy. Why not turn off your computer and start knocking on doors?‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word “hamper” in Paragraph 1 mean? ‎ ‎ A. To pay no attention to something. ‎ ‎ B. To create something from nothing.‎ ‎ C. To make something difficult to develop.‎ ‎ D. To help or encourage something to happen.‎ ‎33. Which of the following will the writer most likely agree with? ‎ ‎ A. It is fashion to buy the latest digital products.‎ ‎ B. Technology does more harm to people than good.‎ ‎ C. You’d better get rid of all the digital products from your life.‎ ‎ D. We should pay more attention to people around us other than technology.‎ ‎34. According to Paragraph 4, interacting with people more can make us_______.‎ ‎ A. healthier B. happier ‎ ‎ C. more outgoing D. more successful ‎35. What is the author’s attitude towards “addicted to technology”? ‎ ‎ A. Uninterested. B. We don’t know. ‎ ‎ C. Positive. D. Negative.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共三节，满分55分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20 小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I put my sunglasses on and took a deep breath.

Now let me tell you something about myself.‎ My name is Alice Brown and I was born in London, England. I was given this name by my mother. She loved the Disney movie Alice in Wonderland very much when she was little. She had decided to give this name to her daughter if she had one. So when I was born, I was given the name, Alice. And I love it very much.‎ Now I’m fifteen years old. My birthday is on September 10th, so I’ll turn sixteen in just a week’s time.‎ Before I came to China, I studied in No.5Middle School in London. I had many friends there. However, my father had to work in China for two years, so my family moved here. My father also hoped I could learn some Chinese while we were in China.‎ In my spare time, I love making friends. I hope I can be your best friend. I also like listening to music and watching movies. There are many wonderful movies in China. If you also love watching movies, we can go to the cinema together. I also love reading books, so I spend most of my spare time reading. However, I don’t like playing the piano.‎ That’s all. Thank you.‎
