Boomerang Kids can be a mixed blessing for parents, both emotionally and financially.‎ Especially during hard economic times, adult children head for home. According to a survey, about 40 percent of 2017 graduates still live with their parents. Moreover, 42 percent of the 2015 graduates surveyed said they are still living at home.‎ The reasons are many, the first being economics. While the recession(衰退) has touched Americans of all ages, it has been very hard for young adults. This has sent many kids back home. Plus, there is the matter of debt, especially college loans. For many recent graduates, it makes smart economic sense to move back in with their parents where life is comfortable and rent is either low or nonexistent. Then, of course, some return for personal reasons, such as recovering from a divorce or an illness.‎ Parents are often glad to help out, both emotionally and financially. As a result, the arrangement often works to everyone’s satisfaction. However, there are risks, especially for the parents. These include not only family tension and misunderstandings, but also money. The return to the family can become a financial burden that can affect the parents’ plans and their financial future, especially their retirement, as they try to do too much for their children.‎ ‎21. From the passage, we know Boomerang Kids____________________________. .‎ A. return to live with parents after graduation B. have problem with their marriage C. graduate from college in advance D. like to show off their independence ‎22. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 mean something that_________________. ‎ A. is very useful and beneficial B. has advantages and disadvantages ‎ C. will have a good result D. worries people a lot ‎23. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. It is a tough choice for young adults to move back home.‎ B. Children face fewer financial problems than ever.‎ C. Parents may have to deal with extra financial burden.‎ D. Most graduates choose to live with their parents.‎ B Do you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me, it’s something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! It’s more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items, even food, from the comfort of your sofa. But that’s not the only reason：price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called ＂showrooming＂.‎ Showrooming is something I’ve done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price. I’m not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof, found 24% of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.‎ Amy Cashman, head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that＂people are lacking time, lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying＂. She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.‎ But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts.‎ We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming, you get the best of both worlds!‎ ‎24. The two questions in Paragraph l are raised to ___________.‎ A. introduce the topic B. give two examples C. compare different opinions D. get answers from readers ‎25. What does showrooming mean in the text?‎ A. Trying in shops and buying online. B. Showing products in a room.‎ C. Buying something in a store. D. Shopping on the Internet.‎ ‎26. According to Amy Cashman, which is not the reason for showrooming?‎ A. The lack of time. B. The comfort of the sofa.‎ C. The shortness of money. D. The security of the product.‎ ‎27. The author’s attitude towards showrooming is ___________.‎ A. critical B. neutral C. supportive D. casual ‎ C When you want to throw something out as “junk”，better take a second thought as it may be of great value. In fact，scientists made the same mistake with DNA years ago，and now they are trying to get it right. ‎ We often say that DNA is a kind of acid that contains our genes. But the truth is that genes only make up 1 to 2 percent of our DNA，which caused scientists to believe that the rest of it is useless.‎ Nevertheless，instead of doing nothing，junk DNA，as it is called，turned out to be playing an important part in our body. If genes are like light bulbs (电灯泡)，then junk DNA acts as switches.‎ They control which genes are used in a cell and how active they are. For example，they can determine whether a cell becomes a lung cell or a neuron(神经元)．‎ The study，published in the journal Nature on September 5，started in 2003，and 442 scientists from 30 labs around the world were involved，according to Reuters. It is considered the biggest breakthrough in genomics(基因学) in a decade because it might help scientists find the cause of certain diseases.‎ It has long been known that many complicated diseases，such as cancer，are caused by tiny changes in DNA. But now scientists realize that most of the changes occur not in the genes themselves，but in the “junk” part of the DNA. They are able to keep track of how and why the switches change and then figure out new treatments and drugs.‎ ‎“Our former understanding of DNA was like getting a picture of Earth from space，”Eric Lander from the Broad Institute，US，told The New York Times. “You know the planet is there，but you cannot see exactly what it’s like on the surface.”‎ But now with the new study result “you can follow the roads and see the traffic circulation. That’s exactly the same way we will use this data in cancer research，”explained Mark Rubin from Weill Cornell Medical College in New York.‎ ‎28．The author explains how different parts of DNA work by ____________ .‎ a．introducing a general theory b．making a metaphor(比喻)‎ c．giving examples d．displaying research data A．a，c B．b，c C．a，d D．c，d ‎29．The results of the study mentioned in the article show that _________.‎ A．cancer is caused by tiny changes in genes themselves B．the study of junk DNA is less important than the study of genes C．changes in junk DNA do not affect genes D．junk DNA is very important for the functioning of our cells ‎30．Which of the following statements might Mark Rubin agree with?‎ A．The findings of our genes are enough to fight against cancer.‎ B．The battle against cancer will be won within two years.‎ C．The findings of junk DNA throw light on how we might cure cancer.‎ D．The new treatments and drugs will change junk DNA quickly.‎ 第二节：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。（满分10 分）‎ Is it necessary to learn when we are 50s, 60s or even 70s? Most people consider when they get retired, they are supposed to be completely laidback, do something fun, or hang around.　31　 It’s particularly important to the elderly.‎ Through learning, we know how to think, how to memorize, how to ask questions and even how to interact with others. According to a study, while we are learning, “the brain creates neural(神经)pathways” that make us smarter. 　32 The more we learn, the more new  neural pathways develop in our brains.‎ When it comes to learning, it doesn’t mean we must load ourselves with lots of ‎ knowledge. What we need to do is just learn something we like day in and day out. 33 Everyone learns from bottom to up. If we have an interest to learn, that desire will naturally push us to move forward.‎ As we feel worn out from learning, don’t be discouraged.34 An old saying goes, “Birds of a feather fly together.” As long as we have partners to learn all together, our learning excitement will come alive again. On the contrary, if we don’t learn, and choose to distance ourselves from other, we might be getting dumb, and slow; eventually, we lose energy, and life passion. Instead of being bored, dumb, why don’t we keep learning?‎ ‎35 More importantly, learning explores our life horizon, helps us build up our confidence; gradually, it leads us to a way of finding a sense of value and ach.‎ A. It’s never too old to learn.‎ B. Don’t worry if we cannot learn well.‎ C. You should set a high learning target.‎ D. Learning makes us understand how potential we are.‎ E. Look for a partner who has the same common interest as you do.‎ F. In other words, our brains are active as we learn something new.‎ G. However, the truth is that learning makes us energetic, and self-fulfilled.‎ 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 完形填空:阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。（满分30分）‎ It impressed me a lot.

However, decades of economic ___58___ (grow) led to a huge flowing of cars in the city. Owning one became not just a marker of reaching the middle class but also a requirement for marriage.

It seems a little crazy once senior year hits to find the time to visit college campuses, and it can also be pricey if the schools you are applying to happen to be more than a car ride away. But keep in mind that you are making a decision about the next four years of your life, and do all the research you can to make sure you are making the right one.‎ There's no excuse not to visit the schools in your local area. In fact, a lot of college applications even ask if you have visited campus, and obviously, if you live across the country that won't be as much of a possibility, but if you live nearby, go check it out!‎ If campus visits aren't going to happen before you apply, at the very least you should find some time between applying and getting your acceptance letters to visit the schools you'd like to attend. It can save you a lot of heartache if you rule out now the things that you don't like about certain campuses, things that you wouldn't know unless you actually visit.‎ Now, if time and money are making it impossible, then check out the online college fairs at College Week Live. It's a chance to chat online with admissions officers, students, and college counselors (倾问), and it won't cost you a penny! You can register for its online college fair at collegeweeklive.com. While visiting an online college fair can't take the place of an actual campus visit, it can be a very useful tool that along with all your other research will help you make an informed decision about which colleges or universities you'd like to attend.‎ 高二月考参考答案 一：听力（共30分）‎ ‎ 1-5 ABBCA 6-10 CBBBB 11-15 CCAAC 16-20 BACAC 二 阅读理解 （ 21-30 共25分 31-35 共10分）‎ ‎21-23 ABC 24-27AABC 28 -30 BDC 31-35 GFBED 三 完型 (共30分) DABBC DACAB CDADB CACDB 四 语法填空 （共15分） known where growth Fortunately flooded ‎ for them increasing worse an ‎ 五 写作 应用文 （15分）‎ Dear Chris，‎ I’m glad to reply to your letter. Chinese Poetry Competition，which aims to encourage people to know more about traditional Chinese poetry culture，has been successfully held on CCTV and has attracted almost all the people who are interested in Chinese poetry.‎ In your letter，you mentioned that you were eager to know about Chinese culture. I think the best way to learn about it is to read some relevant books. I’d like to recommend a book to you. The book，entitled Read Poetry and Learn History by Wang Chunshui，is suitable for the foreigners to learn classical Chinese poetry. The poems of the book can reflect the Chinese history and culture，many of which can give readers vivid pictures of the life of the ancient Chinese. And they can also improve your appreciation of Chinese poetry.‎ I think the book is a good choice for you. I believe you will understand the poems easily and efficiently. Wish you to enjoy the book and know more about China.‎ Yours，‎ Li Hua 概要 （25分）‎ It's really worthwhile to pay a visit to their desired colleges personally before applying. Undoubtedly, students should visit their local colleges, which may be included in applications. At least, they should visit the school to attend and figure out its real conditions in advance. For students who are short of money and time, registering online is a good alternative to help them better understand schools.(65字）‎ 听力原文 ‎ ‎(Text 1) ‎ W: We’re going skating this weekend. Can you and Mary come along?‎ M: I don’t think we’ll be able to make it. My brother’s family is coming on Saturday.‎ ‎(Text 2) ‎ M: Just look at this newspaper, nothing but robbery, accident and murder. Do you still believe people are basically good?‎ W: Of course. But many papers lack interest in reporting something positive like peace, love and friendship.‎ ‎(Text 3) ‎ M: I’ve just managed to get part-time work at the Woof Pet Store on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Now I have to decide whether to stay on the basketball team or go to work.‎ W: Look, I’ve arranged to work at the pet store on Mondays and Wednesdays. I don’t have anything on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I’d have no problem changing with you. ‎ M: Jennifer. Thanks a lot. ‎ ‎(Text 4) ‎ W: Hello?‎ M: Hi! Is this Maria?‎ W: No, this is her sister Sofia. Maria isn’t here right now. Can I take a message?‎ M: Sure. Can you tell her to call Jeff when she gets back? I have a question for her about our homework.‎ ‎(Text 5)‎ M: Hello, Mary. Is it true you are going to leave us for Seattle?‎ W: Yes, you know, Tom has got a new job in a bank there.‎ M: Are you going to continue as director?‎ W: I may get a job of teaching. There is a new high school there and they are looking for teachers.‎ ‎(Text 6) ‎ M: Excuse me. Would you mind answering a few questions for London South FM?‎ W: Yeah, of course.‎ M: How long have you been waiting here?‎ W: I have been waiting here since 7:00 this morning. I didn’t know there was a long queue.‎ M: You must be a real tennis fan!‎ W: Ah, so-so. I am a student of English. I’ve been in London for four weeks, and I thought it was a good idea to come to Wimbledon before I go back to Berlin.‎ M: Do you think you’ll get in?‎ W: I hope so.‎ ‎(Text 7) ‎ W: You look tired. ‎ M: Yeah, I am worn out. I stayed up late last night. I really regret it.‎ W: Were you doing schoolwork or just playing games? ‎ M: Neither. I was going to work on my school paper, but a friend recommended a movie to me, so I watched it. It was a really long movie. I didn’t finish it until 1:00 am.‎ W: When did you start watching it?‎ M: At 10:00 pm. I just wanted to watch half of it, but it was so thrilling that I just had to finish it.‎ W: So what’s your plan for today? Do you want to go for a cycle ride?‎ M: I can’t go anywhere today. I have to finish what I didn’t finish last night.‎ ‎(Text 8) ‎ M: So, as you can see, she’s a beauty. My friend kept it in the garage the whole time, except when he drove it to his parents’ on weekends …‎ W: That’s why it only has about 15,000 miles on it, even though it’s five years ‎ old.‎ M: Exactly. The owner also kept all the service records, so you can tell it’s been taken care of.‎ W: Does this car come with a service contract?‎ M: All our cars come with a 30-day agreement, so you won’t pay for anything within the first month, but since this car is used, we can’t offer anything beyond that.‎ W: I see. $15,000 seems a little high for this car. Is there any way you can bring that price down?‎ M: This car is in very good condition, madam, and based on our research of similar cars being sold in the area, we believe it’s a fair price.

Working day after day has worn me out.‎ W: How about a visit to the countryside? There are many interesting places to see there.‎ M: I think that’s a great idea. When can we make this happen? ‎ W: Tomorrow I have an appointment with my dentist. What about next Monday?‎ M: Perfect. I’ll try to arrange my work so that I can have a couple of days off next week. If we’re going to drive, I’ll need to fill up the tank. ‎ W: No need. I think it’s still plenty full, and I’d actually rather travel by bus or train. It would cost much less than driving. ‎ M: We can take the train. It will be faster. I’ll book the tickets tomorrow afternoon.‎ W: Great! Oh, one more thing, don’t forget to check the weather forecast before we go. I’d hate to head out for a visit to the countryside and then have nothing but ‎ rain.‎ M: No problem.

Life isn’t exactly what I expected. We have to get up early to make our beds before our teacher comes to inspect. After breakfast, we have some free time. Yesterday morning I went down to the nearby stream to fish, but the only thing I caught was a tree branch. Great catch, huh? In the afternoon, there are different activities like horseback riding and hiking. They’re fun, but nothing new for me. In the evening, everyone is assigned a different task to get dinner ready. Yesterday, I was in charge of preparing the hotdogs, but I accidentally dropped them in the fire. The other kids are still laughing at me because of that. The best part of the camp is at night, when we sit around a campfire and tell stories, although one night while trying to find more sticks for the fire, I almost got lost in the forest. Well, at least camp is almost over, and we will go back at about 8 am the day after tomorrow. ‎
