He is neglected by his father because his father is still mourning the death of his mother who died of an unspecified illness. His school life does not go off smoothly. He is often picked on by some good-for-nothing kids, which leads him to play truant a lot. ‎ It doesn’t sound like a fantasy story so far, does it? Fantasy is supposed to take us away from the unpleasantness of life, not to rub our noses in it. But it is just where the fantasy begins. One day, running away from bullies at school, Bastian hides in a bookstore. There he finds a book which appeals to him, and he steals it and takes it home. Bastian becomes fascinated with the book. It drags him in, just as we are dragged into fantasy books. The book he reads is called The Neverending Story. ‎ The story spellbinds Bastian. It tells of a land called Fantastica. Fantastica is sick, and the person most sick is its ruler, the Child-like Empress. The reason for the sickness is a kind of war that is being waged on Fantastica by a force called Nothing. The Empress asks a boy, Atreyu, to help her battle Nothing before it conquers Fantastica. But what of Bastian, sitting hidden away, reading the story from his stolen book? He becomes part of the tale himself. The Empress gives Bastian a vital job to join forces with Atreyu in the struggle against Nothing. ‎ But even though Bastian has now entered the pages of a fantasy fiction book, he has brought his troubles with him. He has problems dealing with the challenges brought by his new life. When the Child-like Empress gives him use of a magic gem called Auryn he abuses it for self-interested ends. To find his True Self he has to learn how. Only that way can he help the Empress, Atreyu and Fantastica and make his way back into the real world from the place he came.‎ Like Bastian, we sometimes have our troubles. Also like Bastian, we can find ways to solve them with enough commitment. In the The Neverending Story, young readers can find a wonderful fantasy that also offers a positive message about their own world. ‎ ‎58. How does Bastian enter the land of Fantastica?‎ ‎ A. He becomes absorbed in the book after stealing it from a bookshop.‎ ‎ B. He skips school and arrives at the place accidentally.‎ ‎ C. Bullies at school force him to seek courage in this place.‎ ‎ D. His father cannot afford to raise him so he abandons him in this place.‎ ‎59. Which of the following is TRUE of The Neverending Story?‎ ‎ A. The Empress asks Auryn and Bastian to help her fight the war.‎ ‎ B. The Child-like Empress starts a war against the force Nothing. ‎ ‎ C. Bastian gets away from the trouble and problems of the real world in Fantastica.‎ ‎ D. Bastian does not do all that he can to save Fantastica when given the magic gem.‎ ‎60. What is the best positive message readers can learn from the book?‎ ‎ A. Tomorrow is another day.   ‎ ‎ B. We can do whatever it takes to bring down our enemies.‎ ‎ C. We can solve our problems as long as we make enough efforts.  ‎ ‎ D. Fantasy worlds breed truth.‎ C As an undergraduate at Duke a few years ago, Annie Joyner decided to abandon her pre-medical track to pursue a career in finance. Joyner was, she thought, one of the lucky ones. She landed a summer job at Lehman Brothers and signed on afterward to become a full-time analyst. Now, Joyner is back where she started-polishing her resume. She walked out of Lehman for good last week, just as the 158-year-old bank’s stock was making an incredible 74 percent, five-day-free fall before ultimately filing for bankruptcy.‎ The industry’s failure is being felt on campuses across the country. Particularly affected are the big name schools that funneled graduates into Lehman, Bear Stearns and other storied institutions. Wall Street firms once hired a third of MIT graduates, despites its commitment to breeding scientists and engineers. Today, that percentage has been nearly halved, says MIT’s career center, and megafirms Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and CitiGroup won’t even attend the university’s career fair this year. “There’s no doubt there’s going to be less hiring on Wall Street this year, and maybe even the next couple of years,” says Robin Mount, interim director of Career Services at Harvard University, where fall classes started Monday. “ I think there’s going to be some downsizing across the whole market.”‎ Just now bad can it get for next year’s business majors? “Who know after what happened this ‎ weekend?” says Susie Clarke, who advises undergraduate students at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. “We’re stressing that it’s important to network and to have a Plan B in case a job in financial services doesn’t work out for them right now, since we don’t expect those opportunities to be what they have been in the past.” The problem is also acute for graduate students. Karen Dowd, director of MBA career development at Notre Dame, estimates that there could be about 25 percent fewer job opportunities this year.‎ Career counselors are doing what they can to help but know they’re only able to do so much. “Students seem to think I have a Bat-phone on my desk,” says Jackie Wilbur, career-development director at MIT’s Sloan School of Management. But she and her colleagues constantly remind students that they must be the masters of their own futures . “Anybody who’s going to be in business has to expect chaos and change,” says Dowd. “They all know they have to be adaptable.”‎ ‎61. What does the first paragraph tell us about Annie Joyner?‎ ‎ A. She intended to study medicine at Duke originally ‎ B. Her career in finance at Duke sent her to Lehman ‎ C. Resume was crucial to her survival in Lehman Brothers ‎ D. She left Lehman for a better employment elsewhere ‎62. The effect of the failure of banking industry on school is that______.‎ ‎ A. financial assistance to famous universities will be cut back ‎ B. Wall Street is no longer interested in graduates of science ‎ C. fewer graduates will be employed by Wall Street firms.‎ ‎ D. sizes of university classes may have to be scaled down ‎63. Susie Clarke’s response to the situation can best be described as ______.‎ ‎ A. cheery B. sympathetic C. sensible D. concerned ‎64. It can be concluded from the text that______.‎ ‎ A. banking firms will not be the graduates’ first choice ‎ B. students should learn to decide things all by themselves ‎ C. maters of business are first masters of themselves ‎ D. adaptability is strongly demanded of business employees D When I go into a bank I get frightened. Everything frightens me. The moment I pass through ‎ the doors of a bank and attempt to do business there, I become an irresponsible fool. I knew this before, but my salary had been raised to fifty dollars a month and I felt that the bank was the only place for it. ‎ So I walked unsteadily in and looked round at the clerks with fear. I had an idea that a person who was about to open an account must necessarily consult the manager. ‎ I went up to a place marked "Accountant." My voice sounded as if it came from the grave. ‎ ‎"Can I see the manager?" I said, and added solemnly, "alone." I don't know why I said "alone." ‎ ‎"Certainly," said the accountant, and brought him. ‎ The manager was a calm, serious man. I held my fifty-six dollars, pressed together in a ball, in my pocket. "Are you the manager?" I said. God knows I didn't doubt it. ‎ ‎"Yes," he said. ‎ ‎"Can I see you," I asked, "alone?" I didn't want to say "alone" again.‎ The manager looked at me with some anxiety. He felt that I had a terrible secret to tell. ‎ ‎"Come in here," he said, and led the way to a private room. He turned the key in the lock. ‎ ‎"We are safe from interruption here," he said. "Sit down." We both sat down and looked at each other. I found no voice to speak. ‎ ‎"You are one of Pinkerton's detectives, I suppose," he said. ‎ ‎"No, not from Pinkerton's," I said, seeming to mean that I was from a rival agency. ‎ ‎"To tell the truth," I went on, as if someone had urged me to tell lies about it, "I am not a detective at all. I have come to open an account. I intend to keep all my money in this bank." ‎ The manager looked relieved but still serious; he felt sure now that I was a very rich man, perhaps a son of Baron Rothschild. ‎ ‎"A large account, I suppose," he said. ‎ ‎"Fairly large," I whispered. "I intend to place in this bank the sum of fifty-six dollars now and fifty dollars a month regularly." ‎ The manager got up and opened the door. He called to the accountant. ‎ ‎"Mr. Montgomery," he said, unkindly loud, "this gentleman is opening an account. He will place fifty-six dollars in it. Good morning." ‎ I stood up. A big iron door stood open at the side of the room. ‎ ‎"Good morning," I said, and walked into the safe. ‎ ‎"Come out," said the manager coldly, and showed me the other way. ‎ I went up to the accountant's position and pushed the ball of money at him with a quick. My face was terribly pale. ‎ ‎"Here," I said, "put it in my account." The sound of my voice seemed to mean, "Let us do this painful thing while we feel that we want to do it." ‎ He took the money and gave it to another clerk. ‎ ‎"Is it in the account?" I asked in a hollow, shaking voice. ‎ ‎"It is," said the accountant. ‎ ‎"Then I want to draw a check." ‎ My idea was to draw out six dollars of it for present use. Someone gave me a checkbook and someone else seemed to think that I was a man who owned millions of dollars, but was not feeling very well. I wrote something on the check and pushed it towards the clerk. He looked at it. ‎ ‎"What! Are you drawing it all out again?" he asked in surprise. Then I realized that I had written fifty-six dollars instead of six. I was too upset and I had a feeling that it was impossible to explain the thing. All the clerks had stopped writing to look at me. ‎ Bold and careless in my misery, I made a decision. ‎ ‎"Yes, the whole thing." ‎ ‎"You wish to draw your money out of the bank?" ‎ ‎"Every cent of it." ‎ ‎"Are you not going to put any more in the account?" said the clerk, astonished. ‎ ‎"Never." ‎ The clerk prepared to pay the money. ‎ ‎"How will you have it?" he said. ‎ ‎"What?" ‎ ‎"How will you have it?" ‎ ‎"Oh" —I understood his meaning and answered without even trying to think—"in fifty-dollar notes." ‎ He gave me a fifty-dollar note. ‎ ‎"And the six?" he asked coldly. ‎ ‎"In six dollar notes," I said. He gave me six dollars and I rushed out. ‎ As the big door swung behind me I heard the sound of a roar of laughter that went up to the roof of the bank. Since then I use a bank no more. I keep my money in my pocket and my savings in silver dollars in a sock.‎ ‎65. Why did the author want to meet the manager alone?‎ ‎ A.

But the informal way in which children learn English—through music, games and fun activities—offers an environment in which they can learn and practise without worrying about the importance of it all. In turn, this relaxed attitude gives them confidence in learning English, setting them up for more opportunities in their academic pursuits and career options further down the line. Research has shown the positive impact bilingualism(双语能力)has on a child’s cognitive(认知的)development and Catherine Ford, head teacher of Moreton First Prep School, says that children should begin learning as young as age three: “before children become self-conscious they can try out their newly acquired languages without fear of embarrassment”.‎ According to Tas Viglatzis, there were more than 4.5 million students studying overseas in 2012. He also refers to the importance of having the right level of English skills to apply for universities in popular destinations such as the US, UK and Australia. Learning from a young age provides a foundation to build upon, and gives your child the confidence to learn more complex English skills specific to their academic goals at university. Traditional English teaching has been known to focus heavily on reading, writing and grammar skills—studying abroad is one of the best ways to absorb yourself in an English speaking culture to develop your speaking and listening skills.‎ Tas Viglatzis credits his successful career to learning English at an early age. “English is the lingua franca(通用语)of business; so learning it has opened up many opportunities for me. If I hadn’t learnt it, I’d have followed a very different path; limiting myself to regional roles rather than global ones.” Being the most widely used language in business globally, the opportunities that come with having English as a second language are a strong motivator for any student looking to have a role in a global company. Bilingualism is becoming increasingly beneficial when job hunting and can make you more attractive in terms of employability. Bilinguals may not always be paid more, but they often are and they are frequently hired over monolinguals(单一语言)with similar qualifications.‎ The benefits your children are given by learning English at a young age are invaluable and as they go through life, the possibilities for advancements in their academic and business careers will be wide open. Children are lucky enough to have intuitive(直觉的)language learning capabilities ‎ from a young age, and this is certainly something to take advantage of.‎ ‎ English: the best second language for children to learn Passage outline ‎ Supporting details Introduction to the informal way of learning ‎◇The informal way makes children(71)_____ and relaxed in learning English ‎◇Bilingualisn helps (72)____ children’s cognition ‎◇Children are (73)_____ enough to practice the languages they have picked up.‎ Educational benefits ‎◇A proper level of English skills (74)______ when students apply for universities in intended countries.‎ ‎◇Learning from a young age provides a foundation for (75)______study.‎ ‎◇While studying abroad, children are exposed to a real language (76)_____‎ Career benefits ‎◇Bilingual students are more (77)____in the job market.‎ ‎◇Bilingual students tend to have an (78)_____in the rates of pay.‎ Summary ‎◇(79)______are that young learners of English are easier to advance in their careers throughout their lives.‎ ‎◇Children are (80)______of learning language intuitively and we should make use of it.‎ 第五部分 书面表达（满分25分）‎ 请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。‎ ‎ Editor’s note: China is the top country of origin for international students in the US, with more than 274,000 Chinese students reportedly accounting for 31 percent of all international students at US universities. Many Chinese parents save up a lot of money for their children to pursue an overseas education. Is it worth spending big o study abroad. You are welcome to leave your comments.‎ ‎ Arsa(Russia): I went to study abroad when I was 17. first year was a total waste as I met plenty of Russian students in my collage and we spent most of our time shopping and hanging out at cafes. It wasn’t until two years later that I realized that my English hadn’t improved. I changed my ‎ mindset entirely and started studying hard. I ended up staying in UK for 10 years, which opened a lot of doors and introduced me to great people, so I’m all for studying abroad.‎ ‎ Truth(US): There is an assumption that American education is the best in the world, so Chinese parents are pushing their kids to American collages. And some are even sending their children overseas at junlor or high school level. I often think this is a mistake as the education a Chinese child gets in a foreign country is very different from what they are used to and they often struggle. Some students have trouble understanding their lecturers and their assignments keep coming back with poor scores.‎ ‎[写作内容]‎ ‎1．用约30个单词写出上文概要；‎ ‎2．用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：‎ ‎（1）支持或反对“国外留学”；‎ ‎（2）用2至3个理由或论据支撑你的观点。‎ ‎[写作要求]‎ ‎1．可以支持文中任一观点，但必须提供理由或论据；‎ ‎2．阐述观点或提供论据时，不能直接引用原文语句；‎ ‎3．作文中不能出现其真实姓名和学校名称；‎ ‎4．不必写标题。‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 江苏省盐城中学2017届高三下学期开学考试英语试题参考答案 ‎1-10BCACBABACB ‎11-20BAACABACBC ‎21-25BAADC 26-30CCDBB 31-35AABDC 36-40BCCDA 41-45ABDAB 46-50 ACBDC ‎51-55CDBAC 56-57BA 58-60ADC 61-64ACDD 65-70CDCCBA ‎71. confident 72. develop 73. brave 74. counts 75. further 76. environment ‎77. competitive /likely 78. advantage 79. possibilities 80. capable ‎
