After too many hours, Naasih and I arrived in the slum(贫民窟) just as the sun was breaking across the smoggy Delhi sky. It seemed as if the small houses extended for miles, an ocean of tin roofs and laundry lines.‎ ‎ Finally, Naasih stopped and turned to me. “Give me your bag,” he said. I handed it to him. I had promised to follow his directions, and in return, I was hoping to find whatever I thought was missing from my life. “I will meet you back here at sunset,” Naasih said and walked away.‎ ‎ I began to walk through the streets. No one paid too much attention to the tall, hairless man walking among them. My throat was dry, my stomach turning over with hunger. And then I saw a small house and I knocked softly on the door.‎ ‎ A young, skinny man, no older than 25, came to answer it. As I soon found out, the man is named Sankar and he was a Lakers fan. I also learned that he was a recently graduated university student who had left his family to go after a dream of success in the big city. Instead, he had found work in the back of a restaurant.‎ ‎ After lunch, Sankar took me to play basketball with a group of children in a trash-filled field down the road. The sun was beginning to fall as the laughter of the basket games echoed (发出回声) across the slum. I had been so caught up in my day with Sankar. I had started the morning in fear and exhaustion, but I was ending the day connected to something much larger.‎ ‎ After the game, Sankar and I walked to Rata Road. There stood Naasih. He said, “You’re shining, Leon.” I had been knocked entirely out of my comfort zone, and I felt that wild burst of life that had been missing from my own.‎ ‎4. Why did the author come to Sankar's home?‎ A. To play a game with him. B. To respond to Naasih's request. ‎ C. To relieve his hunger and thirst. D. To learn how disadvantaged people live. ‎ ‎5. What can we learn about Sankar?‎ A. He doesn't live as he dreams. B. He finds a good job in the city.‎ C. He studies cooking in university. D. He has a great talent for basketball. ‎ ‎6. What does Naasih mean by saying “You're shining, Leon” in the last paragraph?‎ A. Leon is an inspiration to him. B. Leon has changed his state of mind.‎ C. Leon is popular among the children. D. Leon is good at connecting with others. ‎ ‎7. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. A Chance to Make Acquaintances B. The Power of Sport Games ‎ C. The Pleasure from Indian Slums D. A Voyage for Finding the Self C No messy coins—and more importantly—no embarrassment. This is how young Chinese “go Dutch” these days—scan a QR code and pay their share via smart phones in one easy click. ‎ It was the first time most of the 13 people at my dinner table last weekend had used the function on social networking tool WeChat. “It has made going Dutch less embarrassing and so much more fun,” said Zhou Ye, a Beijing-based journalist. “Young people think splitting bills this way is fun, and older ones may find it fashionable to do so.” Most importantly, it saves people the embarrassment of figuring out who owes what.‎ Splitting the bill is a relatively new idea to most Chinese. It's being popular among the young people, but for many older folks, who fear “losing face,” it feels embarrassing. At dinner parties, families and friends often fight over who will cover the expense.‎ Used by 600 million Chinese, WeChat is similar to WhatsApp but has many more features. One of them, WeChat Wallet, allows people to pay for almost any service by smart phones. The bill splitting function was launched last year. Owned by Chinese Internet giant Tencent, the payment platform competes with Alibaba’s Alipay, which is widely used and also has a bill splitting function. ‎ The smart phone apps that rely on these payment platforms have transformed the lives of many urban Chinese. Massages, haircuts, house cleaning, laundry services and personal trainers can be ordered in your own home. Zhao Mengsha, 28, an editor in a magazine, enjoys a manicure (美甲) once every month, and pays half of the price charged in salons. “It's just really convenient,” she said. “I wouldn’t have thought about getting a massage at work without the apps.” Like millions of others, Zhao uses Alipay and WeChat to pay for the services. “You can make do without a wallet but can't live without your smart phone when you go out these days,” Zhao said.‎ ‎8. What is the advantage for the young people to pay their share via smart phones?‎ A. Saving much money. ‎ B. Avoiding embarrassment of paying the bills.‎ C. Contacting others more easily after dinner.‎ D. Having more convenience than other ways.‎ ‎9. According to the article, why do many old folks “fight” at dinner parties ?‎ A. Because they think splitting bills funny.‎ B. Because they want to know who is rich.‎ C. Because they want to pay the bill.‎ D. Because they figure out who owes what.‎ ‎10. What do people think about WeChat wallet and Alipay wallet ?‎ A.  Both of them are acceptable.‎ B. Neither of them will win in the competition.‎ C. Smart phones with them cost a lot of money.‎ D. The payment platform should be improved.‎ ‎11. What Zhao said in the last paragraph means _____.‎ A. the wallets are not necessary any more B. she bought all that she needs through the Internet C. she doesn’t know how to work with phones D. the smart phone apps change people’s life D Want to lose weight? Try eating. That’s one of the ways being developed by scientists experimenting with foods that trick the body into feeling full.‎ At the Institute of Food Research in Norwich, England, food expert Peter Wilde and his colleagues are developing foods that slow down the digestive system, which then sends a signal to the brain that stops appetite. “That fools you into thinking you’ve eaten far too much when you really haven’t,” said Wilde. From his studies on fat digestion, he said it should be possible to make foods, from bread to yoghurt, that make it easier to diet. While the research is still in its early stages, Wilde’s approach to controlling appetite is one that some doctors say could be a key to solving the problem of obesity.‎ ‎“Being able to switch off appetite would be a big help for people having trouble losing weight,” said Steve Bloom, a professor of investigative medicine at London’s Imperial College, who is not connected to Wilde’s research. Bloom said that regulating appetite through foods is theoretically possible. But Bloom warned that controlling appetite may be very challenging. “The body has lots of things to prevent its regulatory systems from being tricked,” he said.‎ Wilde’s research makes use of the body’s ways of digesting fat. Fat normally gets broken down in the first part of the small intestines (肠道). When you eat a high-fat meal, however, the body can only digest the fat entirely further down in the intestines, which then causes the body to produce a kind of chemical to stop the appetite.‎ Wilde’s approach copies what happens with a high-fat meal. He coats fat droplets（滴）in foods with modified proteins from plants, so it takes longer for the chemical that breaks down fat to reach it. That means that the fat isn’t digested until it hits the far reaches of the intestines. At that point, intestinal cells send a signal telling the brain it’s full. Even though the body hasn’t had a high-fat meal, it stops the appetite as if it has. If the fat had been digested earlier in the intestines, no such signal would be sent.‎ ‎12. According to Wilde’s research, what could people do if they want to lose weight?‎ A. Eat more bread and yoghurt. B. Trick the body by eating nothing.‎ C. Have foods with fat droplets coated. D. Control their digestive system strictly.‎ ‎13. What can be inferred about Professor Bloom’s opinion towards Wilde’s approach?‎ A. It won’t work since the body’s regulatory systems will never be tricked.‎ B. It is sure to switch off the appetite of people with a weight problem.‎ C. It sounds terrible because regulating appetite through foods is not practical at all.‎ D. It’s not that easy to trick the body so more research should be done.‎ ‎14. Which of the following is TRUE about Wilde’s approach?‎ A. Fat won’t get broken down in the first part of the small intestines.‎ B. Fat is digested earlier and the body sends a signal telling the brain it’s full.‎ C. A kind of chemical is added to make a high-fat meal less fatty.‎ D. The chemical that breaks down fat will not reach the fat.‎ ‎15. The passage is written to ________.‎ A. give advice on how to stop eating high-fat meals B. introduce a research on controlling appetite C. discuss the argument between two professors D. show different ways to trick the body 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。‎ Pick up your game ‎ A youth soccer coach, Hugo Grajeda, director of Pro Youth Soccer Academy in Chester, New York, shares some tips to help you improve your soccer skills.‎ ‎ Start with basic drills. “Go outdoors, get a ball, and keep it close to your feet,” Grajeda says. “ 16 If you have a backyard, work on shooting.”‎ ‎ 17 “It's a good way of building skills without having the pressure of games. Choose a camp that emphasizes building skills and go to one of those. There are plenty of camps that begin right after school ends.”‎ ‎ Don't forget to stretch. 18 Then do a series of stretches to loosen up your muscles. Don't forget to take a drink of water before you even step on the field. “Water is important, especially in summer,” Grajeda says. ‎ ‎ Watch the World Cup. Grajeda will be telling his athletes to watch as many games as they can. 19 Then, you should try to bring some of their moves into your own game. “Pick up something that you like and practice it,” Grajeda says. ‎ ‎ Keep practicing. Practice may not seem like the most fun part of playing soccer. 20 Look for ways to make practice fun by adding some competition to simple drills, and don't be discouraged if it takes time to master new skills. “ If someone were struggling to improve, I would tell them to keep practicing, keep trying. Practice makes perfect.”‎ A. Sign up for a soccer camp.‎ B. Reduce the pressure of games.‎ C. Study how the best players move with the ball.‎ D. A game is sometimes used as an educational tool. ‎ E. However, it’s the best way to develop good techniques.‎ F. That will help improve your ability to run with the ball close to you.‎ G. Before each game or practice, start with a proper ten-minute warm-up.‎ 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、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A mother and daughter living in my community are two of the most unfriendly people I have ever come across in my life.
