I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.‎ When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to. ‎ Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.” ‎ Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting. ‎ When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!‎ ‎24.The writer always refuses to give people directions because 　　　　 . ‎ A. she’s a stranger to the city B. she doesn’t know the people ‎ C. she has no time to help others D. she’s afraid of giving wrong directions ‎25.The words “embarrassed” in the paragraph means “　　　　”in Chinese. ‎ A.尴尬的 B.困惑的 C.激动的 D.拮据的 ‎26.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A.

However, the April Fools’ Day of 2016 was quite different for my mom and me. ‎ That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game. I had dropped down from a bar (横木) many times in the past without ever having a problem, but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare (噩梦). I broke my arm.‎ Jimmy’s dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on. When he saw the problem, he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to the hospital. As that day was April Fools’ Day, Mom was not buying it and really thought all this was a big joke. Mom was finally convinced by Jimmy’s mom. When she saw me, she broke down in tears because she felt so bad; she simply believed that was just a big trick. ‎ I guess one could compare this to the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Since I had played bad tricks before, it was no wonder that my mom didn’t believe it. I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool that day. We both learned a valuable lesson.‎ ‎27.What happened to the writer on the April Fools’ Day of 2016?‎ A. He dreamed a terrible dream. B. He was hurt by Jimmy. ‎ C. He had an accident. D.

She would not like to pay the money.‎ C. She had no preparation for the bad news. D. She thought her son deserved (应受) it. ‎ ‎30.From the passage we can infer that 　　　　. ‎ A. the writer’s mom didn’t care much about him ‎ B. the writer was a dishonest person ‎ C. the writer won’t play jokes as before D. the writer will lose interest in games 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。‎ The benefits of the following changes will keep you going in your whole life.‎ Get outside for just five minutes a day.‎ Spending five minutes walking is easy for everyone. Even if you don’t have time to do exercise, that short walk during your lunch break or while waiting for soccer practice to end could offer you some benefits. 31 A study in the journal Environmental Science Technology found that a short burst of exercise in the fresh air could bring benefits to mental health too.‎ ‎ 32 ‎ It is difficult to force yourself to go to bed earlier, but you can at least aim at the most peaceful sleep when you finally do go to bed at night. Your bright screen could be keeping you from getting your best night’s sleep. 33 ‎ Look for beauty in life.‎ Make a point of looking for beauty in the world, and you could improve general happiness.

And it can be really exciting to watch them compete in the field. However, there is a dark side to high school sports. For many teens, they’re faced with much pressure; for example, there may be pressure from getting an athletic scholarship(奖学金) in high school or the pressure from coaches to lose weight to get to the “next level”, or the pressure to become the best, which can have a bad influence on teens. So it’s necessary for teens to manage the pressure that often comes with being a high school athlete.‎ For many teens, playing sports means giving up a lot of things in high school. Lots of professional athletes talk about the practice and effort it took to help them become the best. They spend nearly all their time training. However, the chances of becoming a famous athletes are small. There are many more players who never got to compete at international or national level. So it is important to think about whether it’s worth giving up too much time with friends or an after-school job to play sports.‎ Try to embrace(接受) pressure. In fact, research shows that a little bit of pressure can improve an athlete’s performance in the game. Challenge is a good way to build a stronger character. Connect the feeling of pressure with a positive result, such as playing better when you feel under pressure.‎ If you are always worried about your performance, a few relaxation skills could help you calm down. Relaxation skills can also help you live a more relaxed life. Try pressure management skills, including thinking and breathing. If you don’t think you’re skilled in any of these, turn to a professional who can help you learn how to calm down. Like all other skills, relaxation skills need practice. So if you practice them regularly, these skills will work better.‎ ‎ ‎ 英语试题参考答案 第一部分 听力 ‎ ‎1-5 CACAB 6-10 CBCBA 11-15 BCABA 16-20 CABCA 第二部分 阅读理解 ‎21-23 CDA   24-26 DAB 27-30 CDAC 31-35 CBDFA 第三部分 第一节 完形填空 ‎36-40 CDACD 41-45 BCADC 46-50 BADCB 51-55 ABDBA 第二节 语法填空 ‎56.the　解析:形容词的最高级前用the。‎ ‎57.competition　解析:句意:他在每次竞赛中都是名列前茅。‎ ‎58.changed　解析:根据后面的“came”可知用一般过去时。‎ ‎59.that　解析:由that引导的宾语从句并列时,第一个可以省略,第二个不能省略。‎ ‎60.but　解析:句意:他的父母开始担心,却不知道发生了什么事。‎ ‎61.with　解析:have a talk with sb.意为“与某人谈话”。‎ ‎62.him　解析:ask sb.sth.意为“问某人某事”。‎ ‎63.To check　解析:此处是动词不定式作目的状语。句意:——你知道我今天为什么来学校吗?——来检查我的学习成绩?‎ ‎64.more valuable　解析:此处是形容词的比较级。句意:没有什么比你的快乐更有价值。‎ ‎65.who/that　解析:指人,在从句中作主语,用who或that。句意:他知道在这个世界上有个人深深地关心着他。对于这个人来说,他就是整个世界。‎ 第四部分 ‎ 写作 Dear Mr Li, ‎ Last Sunday, I went to do some reading in your library.
