Mosaic Shanghai Mail．‎ B. B1 Jinxiu Fun．‎ C. Shanghai Art Collection Museum．‎ D. SAIC Shanghai Culture Square．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）What can we know about knitted works？________‎ A. All the works can be sold when the show begins．‎ B. People can have a talk with the creators．‎ C. They were made by people from different places．‎ D. The show offers people chances to learn how to make one．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What makes the Musical Titanic special？________‎ A. It raises money for a special purpose．‎ B. Its opening time is the longest．‎ C. It allows interacting with performers．‎ D. It offers a lifelike experience under water．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎2.     It can be really hard to learn a new language． I had always enjoyed learning languages in school,  but only recently did I start learning German． I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily,  but when it came to literature,  I really struggled． That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children's books printed in the target language．     At first,  I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age,  but then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere． As children,  we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures,  and from there,  we can learn and develop． I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK． I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl．     The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot． Therefore you can work out some words with your knowledge of the story． At first,  I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other,  but this did not work well． The method I would recommend is to read a chapter first and at the end of that chapter,  highlight the new words and then look up the definitions． If you can wait a bit before using a dictionary,  you may be surprised what you can understand merely from the context． Additionally,  a lot of children's books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring．     If you can find a translation of the books you have read as a child,  I would strongly advise reading those if you are a complete beginner． However,  if you feel a bit more confident reading in English,  I would personally recommend the series of ‘Harry Potter' books by J． K． Rowling or any of the Roald Dahl children's books． ‎ ‎（1）What makes it hard for the author to learn German？________‎ A. The author had no interest in it．‎ B. The author had a poor memory．‎ C. The author had no one to ask for help．‎ D. The author couldn't read books fluently．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）What did the author think of reading children's books in the target language at first？________‎ A. Stupid． B. Interesting． C. Helpful． D. Boring．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What does the author try to express mainly in Paragraph 3？________‎ A. Why it is helpful to read children's book at first．‎ B. How to deal with new words while reading．‎ C. How to choose a proper book to match your level．‎ D. How to form the habit of reading in the target language．．‎ 第13页 共16页 ◎ 第14页 共16页 ‎ ‎ ‎（4）Why does the author write this text？________‎ A. To persuade the readers to learn a new language．‎ B. To give tips on how to learn a new language．‎ C. To stress the importance of reading in language learning．‎ D. To share the author's stories of learning a new language．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎3.     I love winter birds and I love photographing them in snow． That being said,  I admit that I'm a fair﹣weather birder（猎鸟者）．Worse,  I'm a lazy,  fair﹣weather birder． I don't like weather extremes,  so when it's very hot or really cold,  it is hard to get me to leave the comfort of home． In summer,  I only photograph hummingbirds（蜂鸟）in my yard,  and in winter,  I try to only go out on relatively mild days． Most of my bird photography is done within an hour's drive of my hometown of Elmira,  Ont． So it's all about finding a balance that works．     The winter of 2014 was a great year for snowy owls（雪枭）here in Woolwich Township． One day in early March,  I was on my way home from work when I noticed a beautiful snowy owl sitting in a tree right at the crossing． I pulled over to admire him,  and then kept heading home unwillingly．     Two hundred meters or so down the road,  there were two more snowy owls in a field by a fence,  and in the next field over,  another on top of a fence post． I couldn't find words to express my feeling at that moment． Thus I rushed home,  grabbed my camera and went right back out to get some pictures． It was one of the most magical local birding moments I've ever experienced．     When I'm looking for excellent opportunities to photograph snowy owls and other birds without spending dozens of hours searching for ________﹣and if I'm lucky,  finding one that's semi﹣cooperative﹣I head to the Canadian Raptor Conservancy （CRC） or the Mountsberg Raptor Centre． I've attended so many photo sessions at each of these fantastic facilities that I've lost count． ‎ ‎（1）What factor has the most effect on whether the author goes out to photograph birds or not？________‎ A. Personal emotion． B. Road conditions． C. Weather conditions． D. Time arrangement．． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）How did the author feel when he saw the snowy owls on the way home？________‎ A. Excited． B. Sad． C. Untouched． D. Proud．．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（3）What does the underlined word "________" in Paragraph 4 refer to？________‎ A. Moments． B. Opportunities． C. Pictures． D. Birds．． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（4）What can we infer about the author？________‎ A. The author can take excellent photos easily．‎ B. The author only photographs snowy owls．‎ C. The author makes a living by photographing birds．‎ D. The author values each chance to photograph birds．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎4.     WHAT are scientists?  They are often described as gray﹣haired white﹣coated dull scholars．     But the world has changed． Young scientists are making their voices heard and ________ their powers on the world stage．     This is also true in China． Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji,  university professor Liu Mingzhen,  and biologist Wang Ruixue． At the age of 28 in 2018,  Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists． This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers．     She focuses mainly on biomedicine（生物医学）and artificial intelligence（人工智能）． "Both are cutting﹣edge（前沿）technologies at an early stage of development, " she said．     "So,  I think they have great potential to be developed． I think in the study of cutting﹣edge technologies,  China and other leading countries in the world are standing on the same starting line． And in the study of structural biology,  China is likely to become the leader．"     She felt it was her fate to become a biologist． "I grew interested in the natural world,  when I was very young, " she said． In 2009,  she entered Sun Yat﹣sen University．     In her third year at the university,  she realized that she wanted to do something related to biomedicine． So she emailed China's top biologist Shi Yigong,  hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University．     She recognized her talent and welcomed her． Years of efforts at the lab have paid off． Her research on the high﹣definition 3D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough．     Unlike﹣many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad,  Wan currently has no plan to go overseas．     "The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China, " she said,  adding the country has great science facilities． ‎ ‎（1）What does the underlined word "________" in Paragraph 2 mean？________‎ A. Getting over． B. Giving out． C. Finding out． D. Taking over．． ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（2）What does Wan Ruixue feel about the study of cutting﹣edge technologies in China？________‎ A. Confident． B. Anxious． C.

Be clear about your expectations from the beginning． Do you know in advance that you hate it when someone hits the snooze button （贪睡闹铃） fifteen times every morning？ That you're a neat freak （怪人）？ That you need ten minutes to yourself before talking to anyone after you wake up？ （2）_______ It's not fair to expect him or her to pick up on them right away， and communicating what you need is one of the best ways to avoid problems before they become problems． Address problems when they're little． Is your roommate always forgetting her things for the shower， and taking yours？ （3）_______ Addressing things that annoy you while they're still little can help your roommate be aware of something she may not otherwise know． And addressing little things is much easier than addressing them after they've become big． （4）_______ This may seem simple， but it's probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict． Don't think he'll mind if you borrow his shoes for a quick soccer game？ For all you know， you just stepped over an uncrossable line． Don't borrow， use， or take anything without getting permission first． Be mindful of who you bring into your room﹣and how often．（5）_______ But your roommate may not． Be mindful of how often you bring people over． If your roommate studies best in the quiet， and you study best in a group， can you alternate who hits the library and who gets the room？ A． Be open to new ideas and experiences． B． Respect all the things that belong to your roommate． C． You may love having your study group into your room． D． Expect to learn， grow and change during the time in the college． E． Are your clothes being borrowed faster than you can wash them？ F． Let your roommate know as soon as you can about your little preferences． G． Having a roommate can be both a challenge and a great part of your college experience． ‎ 第三部分 完形填空（共1小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41～60各小题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出一个最佳答案．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎     My husband and I changed our front yard with something eatable,  adding apples,  bananas,  oranges,  and pomegranates（石榴）．     Every crop brought us （1）_______ to neighbors and strangers． The food was a（an） （2）_______to communicate． Kids in the neighborhood （including our son） learned （3）_______ and gentle timing． When we had extra,  we would （4）_______it． Then,  we received a powerful lesson:  a gift hidden as a （5）_______． Our first﹣ever crop of pomegranates had ripened（成熟）． （6）_______ ,  at harvest,  they all disappeared in the middle of the night． We were （7）_______ ,  sad and angry． Friends had fun suggestions． One （8）_______ suggested we post a sign to curse （诅咒） those who（9）_______ our fruits．     And suddenly,  the （10）_______ was clear． We did need a sign． But our sign would encourage sharing and community． Last autumn,  we had a larger crop of pomegranates． We put （11）_______a sign that read,  "If you'd like one,  please knock and （12）_______ yourself,  and we would be （13）_______ to cut one off the bush for you． Cutting saves the branches and is good for future growth,  so we can （14）_______ to share pomegranates with （15）_______friends like you． Thanks,  the Green Family． "     Out of eight fruits,  one pomegranate was taken． and most of others were （16）_______to new friends． This year,  we won the Kindness Contest award,  （17）_______we planted three trees﹣a peach,  a pear,  and a plum． Before they fruit,  I'll （18）_______ a big sign to the yard to encourage sharing． Today． I'm happy to be a role model of （19）_______ for my young sons and to have the opportunity to （20）_______ an eatable front yard for others． ‎ ‎（1）‎ A.stronger B.richer C.closer D.healthier ‎ ‎ ‎（2）‎ A.explanation B.method C.evidence D.excuse ‎ ‎ ‎（3）‎ A.kindness B.patience C.confidence D.responsibility ‎ ‎ ‎（4）‎ A.share B.take C.select D.store ‎ ‎ ‎（5）‎ A.challenge B.result C.loss D.surprise ‎ ‎ ‎（6）‎ A.However B.Besides C.Moreover D.Otherwise ‎ ‎ ‎（7）‎ A.interested B.embarrassed C.ashamed D.shocked ‎ ‎ 第13页 共16页 ◎ 第14页 共16页 ‎（8）‎ A.yet B.still C.just D.even ‎ ‎ ‎（9）‎ A.destroyed B.stole C.bought D.hid ‎ ‎ ‎（10）‎ A.suggestion B.attitude C.lesson D.need ‎ ‎ ‎（11）‎ A.down B.away C.up D.on ‎ ‎ ‎（12）‎ A.impress B.enjoy C.help D.introduce ‎ ‎ ‎（13）‎ A.afraid B.happy C.proud D.worried ‎ ‎ ‎（14）‎ A.continue B.pretend C.agree D.happen ‎ ‎ ‎（15）‎ A.close B.true C.polite D.new ‎ ‎ ‎（16）‎ A.sold B.gifted C.donated D.devoted ‎ ‎ ‎（17）‎ A.since B.unless C.so D.or ‎ ‎ ‎（18）‎ A.add B.connect C.turn D.keep ‎ ‎ ‎（19）‎ A.encouragement B.generosity C.enjoyment D.creativity ‎ ‎ ‎（20）‎ A.provide B.change C.prepare D.choose 写作（共三节，满分10分）第一节：语法填空（共1小题；每小题l分．满分l0分）阅读下面材料．在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为61-70的相应位置上．‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled "A Real Test in My Life" before the whole class at the age of 9!
