The colors of Zakimi’s pencildrawings are calming and George’s poetic text tells her story with simple language.‎ Pandora (Clarion Books, ages 3-7)‎ The award-winning author Victoria Turnbull tells the story of a little fox Pandora. Pandora lives alone. She makes herself a handsome home, but no one ever comes to visit. Then one day something falls from the sky -- a bird with a broken wing. Little by little, the bird helps Pandora feel less lonely. Turnbull’s watercolor and colored pencil drawings make this story of friendship and growth an atmospheric delight.‎ Prince and Pirate (G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Younger Readers, ages 5-8)‎ A different kind of friendship is described in this book, by Charlotte Gunnufson with pictures by Mike Lowery. Prince and Pirate are a pair of mismatched fish put ‎ into the same aquarium（水族馆). At first it seems that they’ll never learn to be friends. It’s only when both take pity on a frightened dogfish that they learn the benefits of cooperation, and soon all three fish become good friends.‎ The Giant Jumperee (Dinal Books, ages 3-5)‎ The story was written by the award-winning British author Julia Donaldson. When Rabbit hears a loud voice bellowing（吼叫）threateningly from inside a cave, he gathers Cat, Bear and Elephant to help him decide what to do. But it’s Mama Frog who fearlessly confronts（面对）the unknown creature. Helen Oxenbury’s soft watercolors creat a beautiful countryside and her characterizations of the animals are impressive.‎ ‎21. Who pictured the book Pandora?‎ A. Kallie George. B. Victoria Turnbull.‎ C. Paola Zakimi. D. Charlotte Gunnufson.‎ ‎22. Which book tells a story about courage?‎ A. Pandora. B. Secrets I Know.‎ C. Prince and Pirate. D. The Giant Jumperee.‎ ‎23. What do the four books have in common?‎ A. Their publishers are the same one. B. Their characters are all animals.‎ C. They all have pencil drawings. D. They are all for younger readers ‎ ‎ ‎ B ‎ Everybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes you is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit.‎ ‎ Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be lame throughout his life.‎ ‎ But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement ‎ of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence, firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided. With his iron determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and then to run.‎ ‎ He began to walk to school, and then run to school, to run for the joy of running. Later in college he was on the track team.‎ ‎ In February 1934, in New York City's Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run - this determined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world's fastest mile.‎ ‎ A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in oneself, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an inspiration for many, and his story, a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are piled against one, to the degree that death seemed the preferable option.‎ 24. The first paragraph is intended to ________‎ A. present an argument B. make preparations for statement C. arouse readers' interest D. function as a brief introduction 25. What was the doctor's opinion about Glenn?‎ A. Glenn was able to walk with his own great effort.‎ B. Great determination could make a difference to Glenn.‎ C. There was a slim chance that Glenn could survive.‎ D. Glenn could live a normal life with the upper halt" of his body.26. What do we know about Glenn?‎ A. Glenn took recovery exercise in hospital.‎ B. Glenn inspired people with his moving story.‎ C. Glenn won the first place in Marathon.‎ D. Glenn organized a track team in college.‎ ‎27. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Strengthen determination B. Stand up after failure C. Go after dreams D. Face difficulty bravely C After finishing a meal at an American Chinese restaurant you probably expect to receive a handful of fortune cookies after you pay the bill. Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. It’s rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your “lucky fortune” on the slip of paper inside.‎ The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was the first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with “thank you” notes in them. These “thank you” notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of his early life in America.‎ There is an alternate origin story. Los Angeles is regarded as the site of the fortune cookie’s invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L. A., is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.‎ Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located ‎ in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day —— an evidence to the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was cited for being “too American.”‎ So the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.‎ ‎28. What do we know about fortune cookies?‎ A. They are as popular in China as in America.‎ B. They contain slips of paper with good wishes.‎ C. They first appeared in America during WWII.‎ D. They are often charged to the customers’ bill.‎ ‎29. Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco?‎ A. To make profit.‎ B. To express gratitude.‎ C. To uplift people’s spirits.‎ D. To help people out of hardship.‎ ‎30. Which of the following sentences may be found in Jung’ s cookies?‎ A. The fortune you seek is in another cookie.‎ B. Every exit is an entrance to new experiences.‎ C. I’m being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.‎ D. Only taste fortune cookies; disregard all others.‎ ‎31. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. A Symbol of Chinese Culture B. Chinese Restaurants in America C. Can fortune cookie tell your fortune?‎ D. Fortune cookie, Chinese or American?‎ ‎ D Last week, Vodafone started a test of the UK's first full 5G service, available ‎ for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?‎ ‎ One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost £ 1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UK's first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn't all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster internet access, with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.‎ ‎ The wider application is to support connected equipment on the "internet of things" -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other.‎ ‎ Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.‎ ‎ Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5 G phone well before 5 G becomes widely available in the next couple of years.‎ 32. Why does Prof William Webb say "the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes" ?‎ A. He is in favor of the application of the new technology.‎ B. ‎5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.‎ C. ‎5G helps people communicate better with each other.‎ D. He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.‎ 32. The underlined word "addressing" in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning to________‎ A. making a speech to B. trying to solve C. managing to decrease D. responding to 33. The last paragraph indicates that___________‎ A. it'll take several years .to make 5G accessible to the public in the UK B. ‎5G service shows huge development potential and a broad market C. customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G ones D. it's probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in Britain 34. What do we know about the text?‎ A. Vodafone is successful in spreading the 5G service.‎ B. Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram by 4G.‎ C. The application of 5G will make life much easier.‎ D. ‎5G phones are available in rural areas of the UK.‎ 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。‎ Lemon water is pretty popular. It’s offered as a free upgrade to regular water at pretty many restaurants. 36 , others are devotees of the possible health benefits. Here’s what may happen if you take up the lemon water habit.‎ Easier weight loss Studies in mice indicate that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in lemons can reduce weight gain despite a high-fat diet. More studies are needed to determine if the results can be applied to humans, but anecdotal evidence is favorable. People who drink lemon water regularly report easier weight loss, though it is unclear if the combination of lemon and water is the fundamental driver. 37 . ‎ Get enough vitamin C Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that has a ton of health benefits. It can only be gotten from food as our bodies don’t produce it alone. Getting your RDA ‎ (Recommended Daily Allowance) of vitamin C can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. Vitamin C is good for your skin and bonds with free radicals (自由电子) that accelerate aging. 38 , but they’re a great source nevertheless. ‎ Stabilized moods Studies have found that smelling lemon scent reduces stress hormones that regulate mood. Drinking lemon water offers this benefit as well as the vitamins and potassium(钾) in the fruit. 39 , and high blood pressure is related to stress, so not getting enough potassium can certainly affect your mood. All in all, lemon water can be a calming drink.‎ In the end, drinking water is never a bad call, and there is absolutely no reason not to add lemon to it. Drinking lemon water provides some helpful nutrients and antioxidants. Give it a try! 40 .‎ A. Lemon is a common smell in all manner of cleaning products B. Potassium plays a huge part in regulating blood pressure C. There is nothing to lose D. Lemons aren’t the highest in vitamin C E. While some people drink it simply because of its taste F. If adding lemon to water can encourage people to drink more G. It could be that drinking more water helps dieters to feel full and avoid overeating 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ ‎ 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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Many families usually take their children to travel during school breaks.
