strong today．With 20 years in the same location，the school is “not going anywhere,” says Dave Rodenborn，a son of the school’s founders．As general director，Dave has overseen many improvements，including a new playground for the preschool and a complete modernization．‎ ‎　　The school serves families of children from 6 weeks to 6th grade．This allows them to have programs in baby care，preschool，kindergarten，and elementary(小学)．The curriculum has ‎ developed over the decades，most notably in the Elementary．At first somewhat jokingly referred to as “Monte-sorta,” due to its relaxed application of the Montessori Method，the school’s elementary now stresses a more traditional Montess environment．Montessori associates abstract concepts with concrete sensorial(感觉的) experiences，ensuring that children are involved in learning，not just memorization．Classrooms still have a creative，casual feel，with children having freedom of choice，but in keeping with Montessori principles，they work within a framework．This helps them learn about freedom within limits，maximizing their potential．‎ ‎　　The truly international Rainbow Montessori staff comes from a wide range of backgrounds，all Montessori-trained．“They are an energetic，devoted group,” says Dave．“They are loyal，caring and like what they do a lot．I’d say a good 30 to 40 percent of them have been here for almost a decade or more．”‎ Dave says that his favorite part of being at Rainbow Montessori is “making things grow”．By that，he doesn’t mean it in the sense of the organic，but by “coming up with good solutions to problems as they occur．” This is reflective of Montessori beliefs，in which each child learns to use the right tools and discover solutions for themselves．Dave credits a strong staff and great parents with lots of patience for helping to make Rainbow Montessori an ideal place for children to learn and grow．‎ Rainbow Montessori ‎790 East Duane Ave．Addison ‎(408)738-3261‎ www.rainbow-montessori.com ‎21．What do we know about Rainbow Montessori school?‎ A．It was founded by Dave Rodenborn．‎ B．It has stood at the same place for 20 years．‎ C．Its students range from kindergarten to primary．‎ D．Half of its staff have worked there for ten years．‎ ‎22．According to Paragraph 2，what is the characteristic of Rainbow Montessori?‎ A．Students are expected to memorize concepts．‎ B．Classroom regulations are highly stressed．‎ C．Students are free to choose subjects．‎ D．Active learning is encouraged．‎ ‎23．By saying “making things grow” in the last paragraph，Dave means the school _____．‎ A．tries its best to prevent problems from occurring B．provides suitable learning tools for each single child C．creates a natural environment for the growth of students D．encourages students to find proper ways to solve problems B ‎ GLASGOW—the Chinese super star Lin Dan lost a thrilling men's singles final in straight games at the World Badminton Championships here on Sunday.‎ The 33-year-old Lin,nicknamed Super Dan by his fans,was 9-13 behind in the first game as the 23-year-old Axelsen,who stands 1.95 meters,took command with powerful attacks.‎ Lin,who won his fifth and last world title in 2013,managed to reach 13-13 with well-angled shots.They exchanged the lead several times before Lin took advantage at 20-19.Axelsen,the bronze medalist at last year's Rio Olympics,saved the game point and scored three points in a row for a 22-20 victory.The second game became a one-sided affair when Axelsen led all the way to win 21-16.Lin's expectation of winning a sixth world title was dashed by Denmark's Victor Axelsen.‎ Axelsen became the third Dane to take world men's singles title following Peter Rasmussen in 1997 and Flemming Delfs in 1977.“It was a dream for me to win a world title,”Axelsen said.“I was shaking like a little child inside...Lin Dan is an idol for me.”‎ Lin suffered his fourth defeat to Axelsen in their seven meetings,but he was satisfied with the result.“I am 34 at the end of this year and 35 next year.I think any player will find it very hard to play a world championships final at this age.I am satisfied with the result.”He added,“We both played well today.I should have killed off the first game when I led 20-19.But I made a mistake at the crucial time.If I won the first game,all the pressure would be at Victor's side.Unfortunately,I have to take all the pressure."‎ Lin also dismissed any speculations about his retirement.“I will play in the Chinese National Games which kicks off tomorrow and then the Japan Open.I have been making very good preparations for this competition and I have showed that I am still strong enough physically.”‎ ‎24. What was Lin's strategy to level the score at 13-13 during the first game?‎ A. Exchanging the lead several times.‎ B. Shooting with powerful attacks.‎ C. Scoring three points in a row.‎ D. Attacking with well-angled shots.‎ ‎25. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Axelsen has won world men's singles title three times.‎ B. Axelsen led all the way through their first game.‎ C. Lin has won three matches against Axelsen before.‎ D. Lin is considering about retirement after this match.‎ ‎26. Which of the following words can best describe Lin according to the last paragraph?‎ A. Considerate. B. Fragile. C. Arbitrary. D. Determined.‎ ‎27. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. Axelsen became the third Dane to win a world title.‎ B. Lin lost the match against Axelsen in Glasgow.‎ C. Lin made good preparations for this match.‎ D. Axelsen worshipped Lin as an idol.‎ ‎ ‎ C ‎ It has been seen as a hi﹣tech bike﹣sharing boom that entrepreneurs hope will make them rich while transforming China's traffic﹣jammed cities．‎ But，occasionally，dreams can turn less pleasant．In the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen，more than 500bicycles for hire have been found dumped in huge piles on the streets，according to reports．Pictures showed vehicles nearly three metres high，with small parts on the ground．City streets around the country have seen an explosion of the colourful bikes that users can rent on demand with a smartphone app and then park wherever they choose．‎ The sharing economy is taking off in China，where ride﹣sharing and Airbnb are increasingly commonplace．From Shanghai to Sichuan province，bike﹣sharing are being started in an effort to reduce traffic jam and air pollution by putting a country once known as the"Kingdom of Bicycles"back on two wheels．‎ Companies such as Ofo and Mobike，with their yellow and orange bikes，have been in a cut﹣throat battle for customers．But problems have arisen when clients have abandoned their ‎ cycles．"Some people these days just have really bad character，"a man named He，who lives near where the piles appeared，told the Southern Metropolis Daily．"When they're done using （the bike） they just throw it away somewhere，because they've already paid．Residents told the paper that bikes had been piling up over the past week，either parked randomly by careless users or piled by local security guards trying to clear narrow residential alleys and footpaths．‎ Zhuang Chuangyu，a representative at Shenzhen's municipal people's congress，said the city needed to step up regulation of the bike﹣sharing industry in order to improve traffic conditions and safety standards，especially since schoolchildren often used the bikes．‎ In 1980，almost 63% of commuters cycled to work，the Beijing Morning Post reported in 2015，citing government data．But by 2000 that number had decreased to 38% and today it stands at less than 12%．Car use，meanwhile，has rocketed．In 2010 China overtook the US to become the world's largest car market，with 13.5m vehicles sold in just 12 months．‎ ‎28．Why can we say bike﹣sharing in China is a boom？　 　‎ A．Because entrepreneurs will become rich because of it．‎ B．Because it will transform China's traffic﹣jammed cities．‎ C．Because vehicles are nearly three metres high．‎ D．Because city streets have seen an increase of it．‎ ‎29．What is mentioned about the sharing economy？　 　‎ A．It refers to smartphones and apps．‎ B．Airbnb has been a common thing．‎ C．China has taken a step in it．‎ D．It is widespread across China．‎ ‎30．What do we know about Ofo and Mobike？　 　‎ A．They are yellow and orange bikes．‎ B．They are in competition with each other．‎ C．They cause the clients to abandon their cycles．‎ D．They have really bad character．‎ ‎31．Which of the following may the author agree with？　 　‎ A．Careless users and local guards are to blame for the piling bikes．‎ B．Regulations should be strict for schoolchildren．‎ C．Many users lack proper behavior in using the bikes．‎ D．China overtook the US becoming back on two wheels．‎ D Thirteen can be a challenging age. Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, I also had to deal with my parents’ painful separation, a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town.‎ When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony had to be sold. I was heartbroken and terribly lonely. I couldn’t eat or sleep and cried all the time. Finally, realizing how much I missed my pony, my father bought me another horse, Cowboy.‎ Cowboy was without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all reasons.‎ I joined a riding club. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly “shown the gate”. I knew nothing could turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the timed speed events. I chose the jumping race.‎ For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home, totally exhausted.‎ All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.‎ My turn finally came. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.‎ No cheers filled the air. The end of our run was met with surprised silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!‎ I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. I can be the owner of my destiny(命运).‎ ‎32．Why did the author like Cowboy so much in spite of its ugliness?‎ A. Because she was sad and lonely and needed a companion.‎ B. Because Cowboy was a strong and smart young horse.‎ C. Because Cowboy had a lot in common with her pony.‎ D. Because she loved horses more than anything else.‎ ‎33．The audience fell into silence at the end of the run probably because _______.‎ A. they didn’t like Cowboy, for it was too ugly B. they didn’t expect Cowboy would win the event C. they never saw a horse running as fast as Cowboy D. they were unhappy that Becky was beaten in the event ‎34．What did the author come to realize after the competition?‎ A. She could be the master of her own fate if she tried hard enough.‎ B. She ought to gather the courage to solve all the problems.‎ C. It was time to forget her pony and treat Cowboy better.‎ D. She needed to work harder to win more blue ribbons.‎ ‎35．What can you infer from the story?‎ A. All of their hard training was totally in vain.‎ B. A blue ribbon must be the second highest prize.‎ C. Both Becky and the author won in the jumping event.‎ D. Cowboy lost in the event of being judged by appearance.‎ 第二部分 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet，chat and go where we’ve never been before．But just as in face-to-face communication，there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line． 36． Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes．‎ For anything you’re about to send：ask yourself,“Would I say this to the person’s face?”If the answer is no，rewrite and reread． 37．‎ If someone in the chat room is rude to you，your instinct(本能)is to fire back in the same manner．But try not to do so． 38． If it was caused by a disagreement with another member，try to ‎ fix the situation by politely discussing it．Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room．‎ ‎39． Offer advice when asked by newcomers，as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate．When someone makes a mistake，whether it’s a stupid question or all unnecessarily long answer，be kind about it．If it’s a small mistake，you may not need to say anything．Even if you feel strongly about it，think twice before saying anything．Having good mariners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else．40． At the same time，if you find you are wrong．be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended．‎ It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age，sex and marital status．Unless you know the person very well，and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information，don’t ask such questions．‎ A．The basic rule is simple：treat others in the same way you would want to be treated．‎ B．Everyone was new to the network once．‎ C．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the    person’s face．‎ D．It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.‎ E．When you send short messages to a person online，you must say something beautiful to hear.‎ F.You should either ignore the person，or use your chat software to block their messages.‎ G．If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake，point it out politely．‎ 三.语言知识技能运用（共两节，共45分）‎ ‎【一】完形填空（每题1.5分，共30分）‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ A young and successful executive was traveling down a street,going a bit too fast in his new car.He was_41_for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.‎ ‎_42_his car passed,a brick_43_the car’s side door.He pressed hard the_44_and spun the car back to the_45_ from where the brick had been thrown.‎ He jumped out of the car,_46_a kid and pushed him up_47_a parked car,shouting,“What was that all about and who are you?Just what the heck are you doing?”_48_more and more angry,he went on “That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to_49_a lot of money.Why did you do it?”“Please,mister,please,I’m sorry.I didn’t know what else to do!”_50_the youngster.“It’s my brother,”he said.“He fell out of his wheelchair and I can't_51_him up”.
