I want to be a(n) 36 ballet dancer with the American Ballet Theatre in New York when I grow up, and I work toward my 37 by training over 18 hours a week. I 38 start homeschooling so I could make more time for dance. I love dancing 39 anything. It makes me feel strong and invincible (不可战胜的), like nothing could ever 40 me. Most importantly, it’s helped me 41 the most difficult event of my life — the death of my dad when I was seven.‎ ‎ My dad died of a heart attack while playing hockey. When my mom first told me, it didn’t 42 me that I would never be able to see him again. He’d always 43 with me; I even used to make him do warm-up stretches beforehand. It was also hard to tell my friends and classmates 44 I didn’t know what to say and they never knew how to 45 . But four years later, everything that I do, I do in 46 of my dad. I dedicated my first dance solo, “The Love Lives On” to him when I was nine.‎ ‎ I would have never 47 the experience without my mom. She 48 me when I was in grief and pain, and we wrote down all the memories I had with my dad in a special book. Now that I’m older, my mom and I do have each other’s trouble more often — for a while, my schedule was very busy and we were so stressed that our little miscommunications would rise into huge 49 . But after we attended counseling (咨询) and I started homeschooling, things got much better, and now my mom and I have more quality time to 50 together.‎ ‎ I’ve learned that talking and 51 are very important things to do in any relationship, and that definitely includes friendships, too! When I 52 with my friends, I try not to look at my phone. It’s so 53 when you’re sitting at a table with someone else and she’s 54 instead of talking to you. I think a good friend is kind, respectful, fair, and funny — and I’ll always try to be all of these things in person, not just on the 55 !‎ ‎36.

Bordered by France to the north and the Mediterranean Sea to the east, Barcelona is one of the most “European” of Spanish cities. Stroll Las Ramblas, one of the city’s most famous and busy avenue. Students taking a gap year in Barcelona will find it to be a very cosmopolitan city that combines the latest trends with the most typical Spanish traditions. Barcelona offers museums, cinemas, restaurants, the beach, the mountains, and people from all over the world.‎ Although local people speak both Spanish and Catalán, the mixture of local residents and international visitors makes it an easy city to understand and makes yourself understood.

The Simpsons Introduce Philosophy (哲学). The course’s aim is to ease students into the typically heavy topic by relating it to the popular cartoon family.‎ ‎“The Simpsons is one of the modern world’s greatest cultural artifacts (制造物), partly because it is so full of philosophy,” John Donaldson, creator of the course, told the BBC. “Aristotle, Kant, Marx, Camus and many other great thinkers’ ideas are represented in what is arguably the purest of philosophical forms — the comic cartoon.”‎ While this may seem like an unusual way to attract pupils to a traditionally dull topic, this class isn’t the first of its kind. In 2009, Liverpool Hope University in the UK began offering a master’s degree on the music of world-famous 60’s group The Beatles, which still runs today. The following year, the UK’s Durham University gave students the chance to enroll on a Harry Potter-themed module, covering contents such as “Gryffindor and Slytherin: prejudice and intolerance in the classroom,” and “muggles and magic”.‎ To some, these courses may seem like a waste of a valuable education, but Donaldson believes that packaging certain topics into something more easy to relate to will enhance the learning experience, without distracting from the main subject. “Firstly, scholars want to be taken seriously by other scholars and ideas like this can be seen as not serious,” he tells iNews. “There are definitely ways to incorporate popular culture into academic subjects that still remains substantial and doesn’t take away from the quality of the ideas.”‎ Already booked full, Donaldson’s Simpsons class isn’t meant to be taken as seriously, however. The lecturer says that his one-day course, which will pose philosophical questions around morality, free will, and religion by relating them to scenarios from The Simpsons, aims to introduce students to his area of expertise greatly while having a bit of fun.‎ ‎58. From Paragraph 2, we can learn that ________.‎ ‎ A. many great thinkers appear in The Simpsons ‎ B. The Simpsons contains many philosophical ideas ‎ C. John Donaldson creates the cartoon The Simpsons ‎ D. the main reason for The Simpsons’ success is its philosophy ‎59. The third paragraph is developed mainly ________.‎ ‎ A. by comparison B. by time C. by example D. by process ‎60. What does the underlined word “scenarios” in the last paragraph mean? ‎ ‎ A. characters. B. settings. C. plots. D. twists.‎ 高三期初测试英语试题 第14页 (共14页) ‎ ‎61. The passage mainly talks about ________.‎ ‎ A. a creative philosophy course B. a popular comic cartoon ‎ ‎ C. a reform of traditional subjects D. an enterprising lecturer C Children feel like they get more out of their relationships with their pets than they do with their brothers and sisters, a new study suggests.‎ This research only factored in 77 children in the UK, so we can’t read too much into it just yet, but it adds to the growing body of evidence for the crucial role that pets play in our well-being and happiness.‎ First off, no one is suggesting that pets can replace the valuable role that siblings play in people’s lives. Instead, the researchers were looking to find out more about how having pets in the family can influence kids’ well-being and development as they grow up.‎ ‎ “Anyone who has loved a childhood pet knows that we turn to them for companionship and disclosure, just like relationships between people,” said lead researcher Matt Cassells from the University of Cambridge in the UK. “We wanted to know how strong these relationships are with pets relative to other close family ties.”‎ To figure this out, the team surveyed 77 12-year-olds from different families in the UK. The participants included a mix of girls and boys, but all the kids had at least one pet at home, and one or more siblings.‎ To get an understanding of how well the children related to their pets, the researchers adopted something called the Network of Relationships Inventory — a well-established psychological tool that measures the quality of people’s relationships. ‎ They found that children reported having stronger relationships with their pets than their siblings, as well as lower levels of conflict — these results were particularly seen in kids with dogs.‎ This test is by no means objective — as children, we often fight with our siblings, and at times feel like they barely understand us. So asking a 12-year-old how much satisfaction they get from their sibling relationships is filled with complications.‎ But at this early stage in the research, the team wasn’t looking for a definitive answer on the importance of relationships — instead they wanted to know how valuable kids felt their pets were to them. And the results suggest they play a big role in their lives.‎ 高三期初测试英语试题 第14页 (共14页) ‎ The team also showed that girls reported having closer relationships with their pets than boys did — although both sexes were equally satisfied with their animals.‎ ‎“While previous research has often found that boys report stronger relationships with their pets than girls do, we actually found the opposite,” said Cassells.‎ ‎“While boys and girls were equally satisfied with their pets, girls reported more disclosure, companionship, and conflict with their pet than boys did, perhaps indicating that girls may interact with their pets in more different ways.”‎ There’s a lot more research that needs to be done into this space to figure out just how beneficial pets really are to families, but it’s not the only study looking into this question.‎ ‎62. What is the function of the first paragraph?‎ A. To tell readers how important the research is. ‎ B. To introduce the main topic of the passage.‎ C. To arouse readers’ interest in the research. ‎ D. To talk about the background of the research.‎ ‎63. What might be discussed in the following part of this passage?‎ ‎ A. The details of the benefits of children keeping pets.‎ ‎ B. Other studies about the benefits of pets for families.‎ ‎ C. The further study on relationship between pets and children.‎ ‎ D. The reasons for girls’ closer relationships with pets than boys.‎ ‎64. What’s the best title for this passage?‎ ‎ A. Children get more satisfaction from pets than siblings ‎ B. Pets play a crucial role in our well-being and happiness ‎ C. A research gets opposite findings to the previous researches ‎ D. Scientists find the importance of relationships between pets and children D A car dealership in my hometown of Albuquerque was selling six to eight new cars a day. I was also told that 72 percent of this dealership’s first-time visitors returned for a second visit. ‎ I was curious. How does a car dealership get 72 percent of its first-time visitors to return? And how can they sell six to eight cars a day in a declining car market? ‎ When I walked into Saturn of Albuquerque that Friday, the staff there didn’t know me from Adam; yet they shared with me their pricing policy, the profit margin on every model, and staff income. They even opened their training manuals for my review and invited me back on Saturday if I wanted more information. ‎ On Sunday, the day after my second visit to the Saturn store, my wife, Jane, and I were ‎ 高三期初测试英语试题 第14页 (共14页) ‎ walking as we frequently do. On this particular June morning, Jane gently slipped her hand in mine and said tenderly, “I don’t know if you remember, but today’s my fifth anniversary of being cancer-free.” I was surprised, partially because I was embarrassed that I had forgotten and, partially because.... Well, I didn’t know what to do with Jane’s information. ‎ The next day, Monday, Jane went off to work teaching school. Still not knowing what to do to mark this special occasion, I did the most impetuous thing I’ve ever done in my life: I bought a new Saturn. I didn’t pick the color or the model, but I paid cash and told them I’d bring Jane in on Wednesday at 4:30 to make those two decisions. I told them why I was buying the car. ‎ Tuesday morning, it dawned on me that Jane always wanted a white car. I called our sales consultant at Saturn, and I asked him if he had anything white in the store. He said he had one left but he couldn’t guarantee it’d still be available on Wednesday at 4:30 because they were selling so fast. I said I’d take my chances and asked him to put it in the showroom. ‎ Wednesday came. Unexpectedly, someone in our family was admitted to the hospital. So, it wasn’t until 9:30 Saturday morning when we finally made our way to the Saturn store. Jane had never been in a Saturn store. When we went through the front door, the Lord took control of her feet and her mouth. She saw that little white Saturn coupe all the way across the showroom floor. She quickly passed a multi-colored sea of automobiles, sat in the little white Saturn and said, “Oh, what a pretty little car. Can I have a new car?” I said, “No. Not until our son graduates from college.” She said, “I’m sick and tired of driving that old Dodge, I want a new car.” I said, “I promise, just three more semesters and he’ll be out.” ‎ Next, Jane walked around to the front of the car. As she looked it over, she let out the most blood-curdling, shrill scream I’d ever heard in 29 years of marriage. ‎ Now, before I tell you why Jane screamed, let me tell you what our sales consultant had done. He had ordered a large, professionally engraved sign (white letters on blue). The sign stood alone on the hood of the little white Saturn coupe. It said “Congratulations, Jane. This car is yours. Five years cancer-free. Let’s celebrate life. From Team Saturn” Every employee at Saturn of Albuquerque had signed the back of that sign. ‎ Jane saw it, screamed, collapsed in my arms and cried loudly. I didn’t know what to do. I was in tears. I took out my invoice (发票) from the previous Monday, pointing to the white coupe, said, “No, honey, this car isn’t yours. I bought you this one.” I tapped the invoice with my index finger. Jane said, “No, I want this one right here.” ‎ While this conversation was going on, there was no one in the store. Our sales consultant had arranged it so that we could share the moment alone. Even so, it’s impossible to have a lot of privacy when so many people are standing outside the showroom windows looking in. When Jane screamed and collapsed in my arms, I saw everybody outside applaud and begin to cry. ‎ ‎65. What did the writer visit the Saturn of Albuquerque for that Friday?‎ 高三期初测试英语试题 第14页 (共14页) ‎ ‎ A. He wanted to collect some raw materials for his story.‎ ‎ B. He was asked to write a report about that car store.‎ ‎ C. He was told the car store was launching a price reduction activity.‎ ‎ D.

Because Jane wanted a new car for her fifth anniversary of being cancer-free.‎ ‎ C. Because he wanted to mark his wife’s fifth anniversary of being cancer-free.‎ ‎ D. Because he thought the car could be helpful to his wife’s recovery from cancer.‎ ‎67. When did the writer decide upon the white car?‎ ‎ A. On the next Tuesday. B. On the first Friday. ‎ ‎ C.

They’re a great way to keep what you love reading best organized in one place. Technology has taken over our lives and everything seems to be attainable digitally. The sad part about online books is that the realness of holding one in your hands is lost. It may be of convenience to those who often travel, but there’s nothing like printed books in libraries that you can leaf through, as opposed to clicking through.‎ Unlike the Internet, printed books are much more reliable than any other sources. Rarely will you find a list of references mentioned at the end of the article section on the web. Professionals write their expert advice online under a license that permits them to distribute their information, thus showing readers that what they are looking through is not false information. Printed books are checked carefully before they’re published so that the facts mentioned in non-fiction books are all true and necessary. Reference pages at the end of these books are also ‎ 高三期初测试英语试题 第14页 (共14页) ‎ mentioned in some works that require such a section.‎ Unlike electronic devices that can have problems such as the loss of data it stores, printed books have a way of lasting for years to come if stored with care. They can be collected as prized reads that you’d like to have in their physical form, as well as be passed on to others who’d like to read them as well. It’s great when you have something like a book to hold on to and read, while an online book lacks that close and constant companionship.‎ In addition, you can’t expect kids to hold up an iPad under the sheets late at night. Reading printed books ensures that kids have access to reading without being spoiled into buying an electronic product that can distract them from actual reading. Kids love picture books and the images that come with them, which is great for present authors who still design books that are intended for kids.‎ Libraries are a great place that dates back to a time when technology was non-existent and was an unbelievable idea to men back in that period. Today libraries are still fully functional, with many people going to them for the love of books. It is important for children to start off by reading the real thing before getting involved in what other media can offer. Anyway, never forget what first got you started.‎ Title ‎(71) ▲ libraries are important Introduction ‎◆ Owning a library, you can place your favorite books in (72) ▲ .‎ ‎◆ While online books may be convenient to (73) ▲ travelers, they lack the (74) ▲ that you can experience from the printed books .‎ ‎(75) ▲ of printed books ‎◆ Printed books written by professionals ensure that the information is precise and (76) ▲ .‎ ‎◆ Printed books can be kept for a long time in a physical form and also can become your close (77) ▲ .‎ ‎◆ Printed books can make reading accessible to kids.

Now it seems to have caught on at Chinese university campuses after the shopping madness that was “Singles Day” on Nov. 11.‎ 高三期初测试英语试题 第14页 (共14页) ‎ Millions of students now juggle (应对) their busy academic schedules with the additional chores of picking up deliveries of their online shopping. So other students have identified an opportunity to make some money and are now charging fees for doing things, like collecting deliveries or picking up bottles of hot water, for other students. The China News Agency has reported that students running errands for others can make as much as 3,000 yuan per month.‎ Some have “expanded” their business scope to include answering roll calls to cover for students who skip classes. ‎ While many have applauded the resourcefulness of students trying to subsidize their tuition with hard work, others worry that the “business” could distract students from their studies, and lead to illegitimate work such as sitting in examinations for others.‎ ‎26.87%‎ ‎73.13%‎ ‎1.
