She, the youngest of the three kids from Cleveland, was crazy about musicals and Disney movies from a nearly age and would often watch them singing with her mom, Karen. However, Katie's happy childhood took a turn when her mother was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer. When the doctor informed the family that Karen's disease was terminal, they decided to make a trip to Disney World.‎ The family spared no expense for their once-in-a-lifetime vacation and stayed at Disney's hotel for eight nights. They spent their days in the parks, seeing the sights, greeting characters, all the while pushing Karen in her wheelchair and watching her face light up with joy. They all shared in the merriment of experiencing the parks for the first time with Karen. The trip to Disney World at the height of Karen's battle with cancer allowed them to escape into a world of magic and laughter. This was the day Katie decided she wanted to work for Disney.‎ Sadly, Karen lost the battle and died later, but the whole family remembered her every day and often thought of that Disney vacation. Katie went on to go after her dream. After she received her degree in musical theater, she struggled for years, working as a waitress and trying to be a performer. Her hard work finally paid off when she was hired to work for Disney.‎ As a Disney performer, Katie is aware that many other families visit the parks and have similar stories to her own. She encourages everyone, especially children, who may be experiencing a hard time. “Every moment is meant for you, even the painful ones,” she says. “It's just like in your favorite Disney movie：There is always some kind of conflict or hardship or pressure. Remember to celebrate those moments, too, because they are taking you to whatever your version of a happy ending is.”‎ ‎21. What made Katie decide to work for Disney?‎ A. The dream that she wanted to live a life full of magic.‎ B. The memory that she watched Disney movies as a kid.‎ C. The great joy the Disney vacation brought to her family.‎ D.

Even under normal conditions, this examination can make a student nervous. But these 18 students may feel especially fearful. They are serving sentences in a top-security prison. And if they do well in the test, they might get to leave the prison.‎ During the test the inmates(囚犯) sit at school desks at Naivasha Prison. The classroom looks like any other except that the students are wearing prison uniforms. David Noah Okwemba has just finished the examination for history and biology. He says he wants people to know that the prisoners are no longer criminals. Instead, he says they are student.‎ Prisoners who perform well can have their sentences changed. They may be released early to go to university or find employment. Patrick Mwenda is head officer at Naivasha prison. He says Naivasha works with the high courts to consider the cases of prisoners who get high marks and nine prisoners have been released since 2008 as a result of their schooling and tests. So far, the releases have gone only to prisoners sentenced to short terms.‎ Only one other possibility for freedom exists for those facing life in prison and those who have used up all their legal appeals. Kenya's Power of Mercy committee advises about pardons for prisoners. Mr. Mwenda admits the difficulties of getting a pardon. But he says the prison urges students with longer sentences to build skills, which would help them have a good record to show the committee.‎ Inmate Prince Winsor Mosii does not approve of the whole system. “The Power of Mercy is not actually helpful. It is there, but it is not helping in setting us at liberty, even if you have performed. “Serving a life sentence for his involvement in an armed robbery, Prince Winsor Mosii took his KCSE exam last year. But he says he does not see much reason to get an education if he is to remain in prison. “It is of no good to get or to acquire something of great value, skills, and not put it into action.”‎ More than half of the 3,000 inmates at the Naivasha prison are involved in the school program. The inmates themselves choose the subjects and decide the content of the studies. Personal experience makes up an important part of the class discussions.‎ ‎24. Why does the author mention KCSE in Paragraph 1?‎ A. To suggest its popularity among Kenya.‎ B. To explain its influence on secondary students.‎ C. To introduce a special mercy in Kenya prison.‎ D. To praise the achievement of schooling in prison.‎ ‎25. According to Prince Winsor Moss, ______________.‎ A. it is difficult for prisoners to learn a skill B. it is useless studying if one cannot be released C. prisoners with long sentences also need to study D. mastering a skill can help one solve practical problems ‎26. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. High Education Reduces Crime.‎ B. Everyone Has the Right to Education.‎ C. The More Educated, the Less Criminal.‎ D. Good Grades Are the Pass to Freedom.‎ ‎ C The Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt, is one of civilization's greatest mysteries. No one knows for sure exactly when, why, or how it was built. It is an enormous sculpture, believed to be the biggest ever created. It measures about 241 feet (73. 5 meters) long and 66 feet (20 meters) high. Due to its unknown origin, this ‎ massive creation has puzzled locals, tourists, historians, and archaeologists for centuries.‎ The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a man, which gives it the appearance of a mythical(神话里的) creature. It remains mostly intact today, with the exception of its nose. Many legends surround the missing nose, but a widely accepted explanation is that a former ruler had the nose carved off at some point after its creation.‎ Most archaeologists believe that the Sphinx was built about 4,600 years ago by a pharaoh(法老), or ruler, named Khafre. His pyramid, the giant tomb that holds Khafre's body, is located directly behind the Sphinx. Stone blocks cut out in order to carve the Sphinx's face were used to build the Khafre Valley Temple at about the same time. Some historians also believe the Sphinx's face was modeled after the face of Khafre.‎ For most of its existence, the Sphinx was buried in sand. One story claims that around 1400 BC, the pharaoh Thutmose IV dreamed that the Sphinx ordered him to clear away the sand in return for the crown of Egypt. The sand soon buried the Sphinx again, however. In the 1850s, the sand was partially cleared, and in the 1930s, the Sphinx was completely exposed. Now, however, wind, humidity(湿热), and smog are causing the Sphinx to crumble(碎裂). Archaeologists must act quickly to preserve this mysterious symbol of Egypt.‎ ‎27. Why is the Sphinx considered to be mysterious?‎ A. It is the biggest sculpture ever made. ‎ B. Wind and smog didn't break it down.‎ C. People know little about it. ‎ D. It was buried in the sand for centuries.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word “intact” in paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Complete. B. Magical. ‎ C. Mysterious. D. Confusing.‎ ‎29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?‎ A. The history of Khafre's famous tomb.‎ B. Khafre's great achievement in building the Sphinx.‎ C. Documents recording Khafre's ruling of Egypt.‎ D. Evidences supporting Khafre's building of the Sphinx.‎ ‎30. What does the author call on archaeologists to do in the last paragraph?‎ A. Dig out the Sphinx completely.‎ B. Take action to protect the Sphinx.‎ C. Make the Sphinx the symbol of Egypt.‎ D. Beautify the Sphinx to attract more archaeologists.‎ 第二节（共5个小题；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。‎ Though technology has considerable wonderful benefits, it is becoming increasingly obvious that our addiction to technology and overall cellphone addiction is becoming too common. However powerful it is, it does have a power-off button. 31 ‎ ● Powering-down prevents the fear of missing out.‎ Scientifically speaking, the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) has been recognized as a recently rising psychological disorder brought on by the huge increase in technology addiction. The premise(假定) is simple. 32 Within this constant stream of information, our fear of being left out continues to grow. Turning off social media and learning how to live in the moment are both important skills in this modern world.‎ ● Powering-down promotes creation overconsumption.‎ Essentially, most of our time is spent in one of the two categories：consuming or creating. Certainly, technology can contribute to creating. For example, this article was written (created) on a computer. But ‎ most of the time we spend in front of technology is spent consuming (playing video games, browsing the Internet, watching movies, listening to music). 33 It needs more creating. It needs your passion, your solution, and your unique contribution. Power down and begin contributing to a better world because of it.‎ ● ‎ 34 ‎ If we power down for a while, we can learn something about ourselves. We will learn we are far more addicted to technology than we would have guessed. But that is the nature of addiction, isn't it? We can never fully realize our level of addiction until the item is out of sight. The only way to truly discover technology's controlling influence on our life is to tum it off, walk away, and sense how strong the pull is to turn it back on.‎ ● Life, at its best, is happening right in front of you.‎ Our world maybe changing, but the true nature of life is not. Life, at its best, is happening right in front of you. 35 The conversations are natural and authentic. And the love is real. But if we are too busy staring down at our screen, we're going to miss all of it.‎ A. It has a negative effect on our creativity.‎ B. Our world doesn't need more consuming.‎ C. The experiences in life will never repeat themselves.‎ D. The following are some important reasons to unplug.‎ E. Our social media are filled with everything happening all around us.‎ F. Powering-down helps remove unhealthy feelings of envy and loneliness.‎ G. Technology addiction can only be understood when the object is taken away.‎ 第三部分：语言运用（共三节，满分55分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20个小题；每小题1.5分；满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给各题的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I was going to see my grandma Ruthy.‎ Approaching her apartment, I was suddenly seized with the 36 that I was going to die one day.

The world outside was white. Snow covered the roads, the cars, the houses, and even the driveway Freddie had just shoveled(铲) the day before.‎ ‎“Ugh,” said Freddie.“No more snow!”He got out of bed and headed to the bathroom for his regular morning shower. As he reached for the taps, his mother appeared in the doorway.‎ ‎“I've got news,” she said. “There's been so much snow overnight that the roads are slippery and dangerous. I just heard on the radio that they canceled the school buses for the day.”‎ Freddie groaned. “Then how am I supposed to get to school?”‎ His mom grinned. “I guess you don't. It's a snow day!”‎ Freddie's eyes lit up. He'd never had a snow day off from school before. What would he do first?‎ ‎“I’m going back to bed!” Freddie headed back to his room and climbed under the covers. After a few minutes, he realized that it was too late. He was already wide awake. He headed down to the kitchen and then sat at the table, watching his father fry the eggs over in the pan and his mother pour juice and coffee. It was relaxing, thought Freddie.‎ After breakfast his mother suggested he go out and build a snowman. Freddie wasn't too sure. He didn't really like the cold and the snow. He'd rather stay inside and play video games.‎ ‎“You can play afterward, but how about going outside for a little bit? It's good to get some fresh air, and who knows, you might even enjoy yourself.” Freddie unwillingly put on the warm clothes and headed outside.‎ Standing alone in the front yard, with the cold wind blowing, was not Freddie's idea of a good time. Knowing his mom meant what she said, the boy sighed, thinking the quicker he completed his snowman, the faster he could go back inside to his video games. He set to work packing up some snow into a large ball.‎ Moments later, he saw one of his friends appearing from his house up the street. Dion waddled(蹒跚) out in his big snow trousers and heavy overcoat. He waved to Freddie.‎ ‎“Hey there! I saw you out here and thought you might want company. Snow days are awesome!” Dion laughed.‎ 注意：‎ ‎1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Para l：‎ Freddie was surprised but happy to see his classmate. _________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ Para 2：‎ Delighted at the idea, Freddie excitedly ran into his house. ____________________‎ ‎________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 听力：1-5 BACCB 6-10 CCBBA 11-15 BCBCA 16-20 CABAA 阅读：21-23CDA 24-26CBD 27-30CADB ‎ 七选五31-35DEBGC 完形36-40 BDADC 41-45DACBC 46-50CABDA 51-55BCADB 语法56.commonly 57. consideration 58.an 59.offering 60.on/about 61.unable 62.helps/will help 63.what 64.to keep 65.

Help me make this snowman, would you?” Dion nodded, and they got to work, building the snowman a solid base and lifting a heavy snowball on top of it. Dion found some stones for buttons, and Freddie stuck a couple of broken branches into the body to make arms. Finally, the snowman was finished! Then，they stood back to admire their work, exhausted and red-cheeked but excited and happy. Suddenly, Dion said, “Hey, I know what we can do next!” He told Freddie his idea and Freddie grinned.‎ Freddie ran into the house. His mom met him at the door. Seeing snow full of Debbie’s face and overcoat，she couldn’t help laughing. “Are you ready to come in ?” she asked. “Not yet, Mom!” Freddie said. Still excited, he asked his mother if he could go to the park with Dion and go sledding down the hill. Knowing Debbie would rather enjoy himself outside than play video games at home, his mother agreed without hesitation , with her face shining like a diamond. “Snow days are the best!” Freddie yelled as he ran off to play with his friend- Dion.‎
