The resort includes 24 different trails and a tubing park, providing you with many weekends of entertainment.‎ Michigan Tech’s website says the resort’s location in the snowiest town in the Midwest, allowing you to ski on fresh snow for much of the year. If you are an experienced skier, Mont Ripley is perfect for you.‎ University of Missouri At the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus recreational centers in the country. It features an indoor beach complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa.‎ According to the website Best College Reviews, which ranked the University of Missouri fourth on its list of the 25 Most Amazing Campus Student Recreational Centers, Missouri’s recreational facilities look like a high-end gym more than a traditional campus recreational center.‎ New York University If you are a fan of museums, NYU is the perfect university for you. Not only will you be located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will provide you with free admission to many of them.

First-year students receive laptops already set up with all the necessary student software. Then, after two years, they receive new updated laptops designed to carry them through graduation and beyond.‎ As is stated on the Seton Hall University website: “That second laptop is the one you will take with you when you graduate from Seton Hall, providing you with a laptop for that first job after college or for future use in graduate school.‎ 21.

Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people at your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!‎ You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.‎ You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,” You shouldn't drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.‎ It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.‎ So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli,” it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example what will be the next.‎ ‎25.

Medical treatments of the future. D. The reason for the success of new technology.‎ C George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America’s greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.‎ Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.‎ In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.‎ In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It sill remains one of his most famous works.‎ George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.‎ ‎29. Many of Gershwin’s musical works were ________.‎ A. written about New Yorkers B. composed for Paul Whiteman C. played mainly in the countryside D. performed in various ways ‎30. What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?‎ A. He created one of his best works. B. He studied with Nadia Boulanger.‎ C. He argued with French critics. D. He changed his music style.‎ ‎31. What do we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. Many of Gershwin’s works were lost. B. The death of Gershwin was widely reported.‎ C. A concert was held in memory of Gershwin. D. Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death.‎ ‎32. Which of the following best describes Gershwin?‎ A. Talented and productive. B. Serious and boring. C. Popular and unhappy. D. Friendly and honest.‎ D London is considering introducing car-free days in the hope of dealing with the city’s air pollution crisis that experts say is responsible for thousands of early deaths each year.‎ Officials at City Hall were due to meet on Tuesday to examine how best to roll out a ban across specific areas of the capital on different days this year—with “more ambitious plans” in the preparation for 2019.‎ A spokeswoman for the mayor, Sadiq Khan, said: “He is determined to do everything in his power to protect the health of Londoners and improve walking, cycling and public transport and reduce Londoners’ dependency on polluting cars.”‎ A source at City Hall said details were still being hammered out but they were hoping to introduce separate car-free days in London city this year, with the hope for city-wide car-free days next year.‎ ‎“The mayor already supports a number of car-limited days for annual events in London, and he has asked City Hall officials to consider additional opportunities for car-free activities as part of his healthy streets vision,” said the spokesman.‎ ‎“Solving toxic(有毒的) emissions from the most polluting cars is a key part of the hard-hitting measures the mayor has introduced to help clean up London’s air, from delivering the Toxicity-Charge (T-Charge) in central London, to the early introduction of the Ultra-Low Emission Zone, and transforming the bus fleet.”‎ Bridget Fox, from Campaign for Better Transport, one of 50 organizations which wrote to Khan to call on him to sign up to a car-free day earlier this year, said, “creating traffic free spaces, even for a day, transforms places for the better. Hopefully, car-free days are a great way to cut traffic across London. We hope every community in the capital will be inspired to take part.”‎ ‎33. What caused thousands of early deaths according to London officials?‎ ‎ A. Car-free days in London. B. Poor air problem in the city.‎ C. Financial crisis of the country. D. Serious car accidents on the road.‎ ‎34. What can be used to replace the underlined word “hammered out”?‎ ‎ A. carried. B. discussed. C. typed. D. imagined ‎35. The most important measure to clean up London’s air is .‎ ‎ A. to introduce a new living zone B. to charge the people for delivering ‎ C. to deal with the most polluting cars D. to change the city buses for the better 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10 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。  ‎ I live in Japan, where electronic items are a way of life, so it is no surprise that many students carry these little electronic dictionaries. E-dictionaries may be lighter and compacter (简洁的) than any paper dictionary.‎ ‎ 36 However, to me, these are pretty much the limits to their advantages. I think e-dictionaries should be limited in their use in classrooms. 37 ‎ E-dictionaries are much more expensive. In Japan, they cost as little as 10,000 yen (US$100) much as 40,000 yen, depending on how many functions you want and depending on how fashionable you are. My trusty Random House paper dictionary is copyrighted at 1995, cost me a mere US$12.95 plus tax.‎ E-dictionaries are more easily broken or damaged. Drop your paper dictionary. Go ahead. Hold it above your head and drop it. 38 ‎ E-dictionaries need batteries. Batteries are temperature sensitive. Batteries cost money, too.‎ E-dictionaries have keypads. Typing in the spelling of a word is harder and more time consuming than looking through pages and using the index at the top of each page.‎ ‎ 39 Sound. Little devices beep (嘟嘟声) when you press the buttons, but it is very disturbing to some people in a classroom situation or library.‎ Finally, let’s consider making corrections or additions. No dictionary is perfect, paper version or electronic. However, when you find something you’d like to change in the e-dictionary, you can’t do anything about it. You can pencil in some notes with the paper type. Similarly, if you learn a word that isn’t in the dictionary, a few notes of a pencil make it easy to increase its memory capacity. 40 And, for those students whose habit is to mark certain words with a highlight pen for ease of future reference, again, the paper dictionary wins out.‎ A. Now, try this with any lightweight plastic e-dictionary, and you’ll be picking up the pieces.‎ B. Let me add a statement about one that really troubles me.‎ C. They may even contain more words and expressions.‎ D. But it is impossible to do so with a keypad model.‎ E. That huge, heavy paper dictionary that you see in your library looks like a building block in size and weight.‎ F.E-dictionaries have advantages as well as disadvantages.‎ G. Let’s take a look at the following reasons.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共三节, 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) ‎ 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, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ My 9-year-old daughter and I were flying from our home in Carolina to spend a week with my husband in Florida.
