At the meantime, many developing nations adopt family planning policy to get rid of poverty. All these facts result in a world with population growth rate declining. But I myself would like to grow up in a big family.‎ Of course, a small family has its advantages. Firstly, small family makes it easier for parents to bring up and educate their children. Parents could spend more time and money educating one child than several. The child could grow up in an influential environment. Secondly, the child could learn more survival skills for future success. ‎ However, the small families also have their disadvantages. The only child becomes the little emperor. It would make the one child ask more for him and think less of others. Besides, after the child grows up and gets married, the new couple has to take care of four old parents. That means the two children must work hard to support the old parents. At present, many nations are facing the problem of becoming aged society. China will face this situation in a short time to come.‎ On the contrary, a big family weighs over a small family in many aspects. Firstly, parents could educate several children with almost the same time as they spend with one. Moreover, the old brothers or sisters also could help their parents bring up little children. Secondly, if one of the children turns out to be successful, it may mean he or she is becoming a model for other children to learn from.‎ Despite the fact that parents have to spend more time and money bringing up several children, it is not as difficult as people think it to be. With the help of good educational system and modern technology, it is becoming easier to afford several children.‎ ‎1.  What is the writer’s attitude to a big family?

Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular. ‎ One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction to others. Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.‎ The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy (读写能力) and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.‎ Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its advantages, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other hand.‎ The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term “reading” referred to.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎1.  What is the writer of this passage attempting to do?

In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But what I did was different.‎ I chose to study engineering at a small liberal arts (文科) university that doesn't even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more ‎ noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren't studying science or engineering. ‎ I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didn’t care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist (人文学者) all in one.‎ Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal arts courses in college.‎ The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎1.  About college education, what does the author think of himself?

It won't hurt to leave the key in the truck this once, he thought, as he filled his gas tank at a self-service gas station. But moments later, as he was paying the money, he saw the truck being driven away.‎ In 1987, 1.6 million motor vehicles were stolen in the United States one every 20 seconds. If this situation goes on, experts predict annual vehicle thefts could exceed two million by the end of the decade.‎ Vehicle theft is a common phenomenon, which has a direct impact on over four million victims a year. The cost is astonishing. ‎ Many police officials blame professional thieves for the high volume of the thefts. It is a major money maker for organized crime. Typically, stolen cars are taken to pieces and the parts sold to individuals. But as many as 200,000 cars are smuggled(走私) out of the country every year. Most go to Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.‎ Only about 15 percent car thefts result in an arrest, because few police departments routinely conduct in depth auto investigations. When thieves are arrested, judges will often sentence them to probation, not immediately put them in prison because the prisons are overcrowded with violent criminals.‎ One exception is a Michigan program that assigns 92 police officers to work full time on the state's 65,000 car theft cases a year. Since 1986, when the effort began, the state's auto theft rate has fallen from second in the nation to ninth.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎1.  What is the best title of the passage?

But let’s face it: sometimes we can feel depressed and be in a bad mood. We shouldn’t feel bad about bad though. It happens to everyone and for all different kinds of reasons. Although it is okay to feel down (depressed), it is important to know what we can do to make ourselves feel better so we stay healthy.‎ ‎  People can feel down for many different reasons. Sometimes we feel down because we had a fight with a friend or a family member. Or perhaps we didn’t do as well on an exam as we might have hoped. But sometimes we can feel down and we don’t even know why. Whatever you reason for feeling down, there are things we can do to help us feel better. ‎ ‎       Is there a special activity that you really enjoy? Maybe you really like to play football or ride your bicycle with friends. Or maybe you just like to spend time alone and listen to music. Doing something that you enjoy and is comforting is a great way to help cheer yourself up. But then again doing something might not always be the best way to make yourself feel better. When in a ‎ bad mood, talk with a good friend to help you also analyze why you are feeling sad or angry. ‎ ‎       Talking with friends doesn’t always work for everyone. Sometimes it just takes time to bring someone out of a low mood. But if you find that you are in a low mood for a long time and can’t seem to feel happy, you should talk to one of your parents or an adult you trust.‎ There are lots of people in our lives that are able to help us if we’re feeling down. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember that you’re not alone. Our friends and families understand if we’re feeling low and are always willing to help us out in any way they can.

The exclave province of Cabinda has borders with the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. ‎ The Portuguese were present in some—mostly coastal—points of the territory of what is now Angola, from the 16th to the 19th century, interacting in diverse ways with the peoples that lived there. In the 19th century they slowly and hesitantly began to establish themselves in the interior. Angola as a Portuguese colony encompassing the present territory was not established before the end of the 19th century, and “effective occupation”, as required by the Berlin Conference (1884) was achieved only by the 1920s. Independence was achieved in 1975, after a protracted liberation war. After independence, Angola was the scene of an intense civil war from 1975 to 2002. The country has vast mineral and petroleum reserves, and its economy has on average grown at a two-digit pace since the 1990s, especially since the end of the civil war. In spite of this, standards of living remain low for the majority of the population, and life expectancy and infant mortality rates in Angola are among the worst-ranked in the world. Angola is considered to be economically disparate, with the majority of the nation’s wealth concentrated in a disproportionately (不匀称地) small sector of the population. ‎ Angola is a member state of the African Union, the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, the Latin Union and the Southern African Development Community.‎ What’s the official name of this country?

He was a real miser (吝啬鬼) when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, “Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket (棺材) with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife.” ‎ So he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him. After all that, he still doubted his money wouldn’t go with him. Therefore, he wrote it in his will and a lawyer was asked to see to it. ‎ Well, one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, and the wife was sitting there in black next to her closest friend, the lawyer standing on the other side. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers (殡仪服务员) got ready to close the casket, the wife said, “Wait just a minute!”‎ She had a shoe box with her. After the lawyer took a look inside, she came over and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Her friend said, “I hope you weren’t crazy enough to put all the money in the casket.” ‎ ‎“Yes,” the wife said, “I promised. I’m a good Christian. I can’t lie. I promised him that I was going to put all the money in that casket with him.” ‎ ‎“You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?” ‎ ‎“I sure did.

Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.‎ ‎　　My daughter Carla’s fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a prefect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.‎ ‎　　You can use the same technique when you evaluate （评价）your child’s work at home. Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn’t done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.‎ ‎　　Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.‎ ‎1．What does the whole passage deals with ?(Within 6 words)‎ ‎___________________________________________________________‎ ‎2．If children are sure that they can be successful, what will they do later?(Within 5 words)‎ ‎　　___________________________________________________________‎ ‎3．What did Carla do when children failed in the examination?(Within 12 words)‎ ‎ ___________________________________________________________‎ ‎4．Having read the last paragraph, what can you conclude ?

The power of the school has been replaced by the home. To begin with, all the factors which are part of intelligence—the child’s understanding of language learning patterns curiosity—are established well before the child enters school at the age of six. Study after study has shown that even after school begins, children’s achievements have been far more influenced by parents than by teachers. This is particularly true about learning what is language-related. The school rather than the home is given credit for variations in achievement in subjects such as science. ‎ ‎　　In view of their power, it’s sad to see so many parents not making the most of their child’s intelligence. Until recently parents had been warned by educators who asked them not to ‎ educate their children. Many teachers now realize that children cannot be educated only at school and parents are being asked to contribute both before and after the child enters school. ‎ Parents have been particularly afraid to teach reading at home. Of course children shouldn’t be pushed to read by their parents but educators have discovered that reading is best taught individually—and the easiest place to do this is at home. Many four and five-year-old who have been shown a few letters and taught their sounds will compose single words of their own with them even before they have been taught to read. ‎ ‎1.

Now, the same may be true for trees. ‎ A common type of tree grows twice as well in New York City as it does in rural places around the state, researchers report. An unexpected twist (扭曲) in pollution patterns appears to explain the trend (趋势). ‎ Cities may seem like an unlikely place for plant life to blossom. Car fumes, polluted water, and toxic metals in dirt are only a few of the obstacles to growth. ‎ That’s why ecologist Jillian Gregg’s results were somewhat surprising. She and her colleagues found that Eastern cottonwoods planted in the heart of New York City grew to be twice as massive as trees planted in small towns outside the city. ‎ The researchers were able to rule out genes, light conditions, rainfall, bugs, temperature, carbon dioxide levels, and soil type as causes. ‎ However, they noticed that one type of air pollution—the amount of ozone (臭氧) in air averaged over a 24-hour period—was actually worse in the country than in the city. Much of that ozone came from pollution blowing in from urban areas. Back in the city, though, other abundant air pollutants were clearing out the ozone by combining with it chemically and making it harmless. ‎ The study shows how much city pollution can hurt rural environments.

Boomerang Kids can be a mixed blessing for parents, both emotionally and financially.‎ Especially during hard economic times, adult children head for home. According to a survey, about 40 percent of 2017 graduates still live with their parents. Moreover, 42 percent of the 2015 graduates surveyed said they are still living at home.‎ The reasons are many, the first being economics. While the recession has touched Americans of all ages, it has been very hard for young adults. This has sent many kids back home. Plus, there is the matter of debt, especially college loans. For many recent graduates, it makes smart economic sense to move back in with their parents where life is comfortable and rent is either low or ‎ nonexistent. Then, of course, some return for personal reasons, such as recovering from a divorce or an illness.‎ Parents are often glad to help out, both emotionally and financially. As a result, the arrangement often works to everyone’s satisfaction. However, there are risks, especially for the parents. These include not only family tension and misunderstandings, but also money. The return to the family can become a financial burden that can affect the parents’ plans and their financial future, especially their retirement, as they try to do too much for their children.‎ ‎21. Boomerang Kids are those who .‎ A. like to show off their independence B. have problem with their marriage C. graduate from college in advance D. return to live with parents after graduation ‎22. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 mean something that .‎ A. has advantages and disadvantages B. is very useful and beneficial C. will have a good result D. worries people a lot ‎23. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. It is a tough choice for young adults to move back home.‎ B. Parents may have to deal with extra financial burden.‎ C. Children face fewer financial problems than ever.‎ D. Most graduates choose to live with their parents.‎ B Imitation might be considered the sincerest form of flattery (恭维), but if you take it too far in a job interview you could be giving the wrong impression to a potential employer.‎ Scientists have discovered too much imitating in a job interview situation leaves an employer thinking you are incompetent, untrustworthy and not very likeable. Studies have shown that gentle imitation usually acts as a social glue in human relationships; it can promote trust.‎ Two people who like each other will strengthen their bond by unconsciously imitating each other’s gestures in an unnoticeable way, such as leaning forward at the same time.‎ But in recent years, imitation has been used as conscious approach by people who want to succeed in business. However, the new research suggests this could cost your reputation. The study was conducted by the University of California’s psychology department.‎ Piotr Winkielman, a professor of psychology at the university in San Diego, said, “Imitation is an important part of social intelligence. But it is not enough to simply know how to imitate. It’s also important to know when and when not to. The success of mirroring depends on mirroring the right people at the right time for the right reasons. Sometimes the socially intelligent thing to do is not to imitate.”‎ The study asked people to watch several stage videotaped interviews, some of which featured a friendly interviewer while, in others, the same person was unapproachable. The people being interviewed in the videos imitated the interviewer’s simple gestures — such as leg-crossing or chin-touching. Interviewees were then evaluated on their general competence, trustworthiness and likeability by participants. Despite the fact that the participants were not instructed to watch for imitation and reported no awareness of it, it still influenced their evaluations. Interviewees who imitated the unfriendly ‘boss’ were judged to be less competent than those who didn’t and their unconscious mirroring was observed as an error.‎ Professor Winkielman added: “It’s good to have the capacity to imitate. But an important part of social intelligence is knowing how to use this ability in a selective, intelligent, situation-dependent manner, and understanding, when mirroring can reflect badly on you.”‎ ‎24. If you take imitation too far in a job interview, the interviewer may think you are .‎ A. incompetent B. smart C. trustworthy D. unfriendly ‎25. What do Piotr Winkielman’s words in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ A. People should avoid using imitation in a job interview.‎ B. People should know what social intelligence is.‎ C. Proper imitation involves lots of factors.‎ D. Imitation is very difficult to learn.‎ ‎26. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Imitation can promote trust in an interview.‎ B. Body language is quite useful in an interview.‎ C. It’s not easy to imitate an interviewer’s behavior.‎ D. Improper imitation in an interview may cause trouble.‎ C Although not as much as in the past, grandparents are the teachers of the Navajo (纳瓦霍人) youth. They make young people aware of life at an early age. The parents grant them the privilege of teaching the children, and the grandparents take great pride in raising the children or at least having a big part in raising them.‎ Young children often stay with their grandparents for years at a time, developing a close and trusting relationship. The grandparents teach the children Navajo legends and the principle of life, emphasizing both new culture trends and the preservation of traditions.‎ The grandparents are also often the leading figures in teaching the youth the arts of weaving, caring for the livestock, using herbal medicine, and other arts and crafts.‎ The children are taught to respect their elders, to care for them, to help them whenever they are in need, and to learn from them. Young people are urged to listen with care to the words of their elders and to keep as much wisdom as possible. Grandparents often go to social gatherings and traditional events, and the young have opportunities to learn more about their culture and traditions.‎ I live with my grandmother for thirteen years, and she raised me in the old ways of our people. Although I was going to school, she taught me as much as she could about our traditions. She was a beautiful woman. If I had a chance, I would listen again to her wise teachings, expressed with kindness in a soft voice that touched my heart.‎ We used to plant com and pumpkin every summer. They never grew big enough to feed us, but we planted them anyway. I asked my grandmother why. She said, “Grandson, our plants will be far more beautiful than the flowers outside the fence.” I did not understand until one day I saw their beauty as I was coming over the hill with her.

Progress shows a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress means a better way of doing things. However, all these remains true only when people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.‎ However, in the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”, progress comes with a price. Now communication becomes efficient. With the communication gadgets ‎ like mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit has the additional benefit of being in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts.‎ With progress also comes mass production. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts (手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.‎ Nevertheless, we must not analyze progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.‎ It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude.‎ 试题答案 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）‎ ‎21-23 DAB 24-26 ACD 27-30 ADAB 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎31-35 CFGAE 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） ‎ 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎36-40 CABDB 41-45 ACBAD 46-50 CDBBD 51-55 CABDC 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ ‎56. when 57. had forgotten 58.
