Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?‎ Jane Addams(1860-1935)‎ Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.‎ Rachel Carson(1907-1964)‎ If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.‎ Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)‎ When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U. S. Supreme ‎ Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.‎ Rosa Parks(1913-2005)‎ On December 1,1955,in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.

They are pioneers. ‎ B Dear Daughter,    ‎ We have not seen you for a while now, so I thought we might check in. Did you fall off the edge of the Earth? Your mother worries, you know, and I am just curious. Well, I am more than curious. I feel abandoned .    ‎ Apparently you’ve abandoned (抛弃) us for your career. I can understand that, because you’ve always had a wonderful work ethic(道德). ‎ Look, obviously your long absence has confused us. As we go about our daily routines, your mother and I are distracted(思想不集中的) – both by your absence and our pride in your career. The other day, I entered my work password into the microwave, then ‎ stood there cursing it for not working. And I was so off my game (状态差) that I actually used that cholesterol-free mayo (不含胆固醇的蛋黄酱) your mother insists on buying in an effort to drive me from the house.   ‎ Listen, a lot has happened since you’ve been away. Abraham Lincoln was shot. We had two more children – a princess, now 23; a boy, now 12. Yesterday I bought a very clean 2001 Camaro car from an older woman. Your mother is not happy about this. She says it is the kind of muscle(肌肉) car driven by ex-criminals (有犯罪前科的人) when they examine your house at 2 am. In response, I told her it was the car of my dreams when I was 18.    ‎ So that’s where your long absence has left us. Your long absence is not so bad, though we miss your roaring laughter ... the way your cheeks flush (晕红) when you eat Thai food. How you always march too hard into the house, like a Scotsman stepping on snakes. Each evening, your mother now waits by the window the way she did when you used to step off the bus in first grade. Bet that drove you crazy even then, her running out on the porch (门廊) like you’d just returned from a month-long journey to the moon.   ‎ ‎  Look, parents are not easy people. But if the urge should ever hit you, feel free to stop by sometime. Our house is your house. Our hearts are yours too. And your mother is still waiting by the window.                                                 ‎ Love,                                ‎ Dad ‎5. The author entered the wrong password into the microwave because ______. ‎ ‎  A. kinds of passwords made him confused   ‎ B. he was totally obsessed with his work   ‎ C. he was affected by his daughter’s long absence   ‎ D. he was too old to remember how to use the microwave ‎6. The author describes his and his wife’s current situation in Para 3&4 by ______.   ‎ A. comparing the past and present   ‎ B. talking about history and his dream   ‎ C. listing changes they have made to their routines   ‎ D. detailing strange things they have started doing ‎7. From the article, we can conclude that the author is ________.   ‎ A. humorous        B. inspiring        C. serious        D. patient[]‎ C ‎ We usually think of pollution as a harmful waste substance that threatens the air and water. But some people have become concerned about another kind of pollution. It can be everywhere,depending on the time of day. And it was not thought of as a substance. It is light.‎ The idea of light pollution has developed with the increase of lights in cities. In many areas, this light makes it difficult or impossible to observe stars and in the night sky. In 1998, the International Dark-Sky Association formed. This organization wants to reduce light pollution in the night sky. It also urges the effective use of electric lighting.‎ There are a number of reasons why light pollution is important. One has become clear at the Mount Wilson near Los Angeles, California. Mount Wilson Observatory was home to the largest telescopes in the world during the first half of 1900. During that period, Los Angeles grew to become one of America’s biggest cities. Today, light from Los Angeles makes the night sky above Mount Wilson very bright. It is no longer an important research center because of light pollution. Light pollution threatens to reduce the scientific value of research telescopes in other important observatories. They include Lick Observatory near San Jose, California and Yerkes Observatory near Chicago, Illinois.‎ Light pollution is the result of wasted energy. Bright light shining into the sky is not being used to provide light where it is needed on Earth. Poorly designed lighting causes a great deal of light pollution. Lights that are brighter than necessary also cause light pollution.‎ Recently, two Italian astronomers and an American environmental scientist created a world map of the night sky. The map shows that North America, Western Europe and Japan have the greatest amount of light pollution.‎ Objects in the night sky are resources that provide everyone with wonder. And light pollution threatens to prevent those wonderful sights from being seen.‎ ‎8. According to the passage, which country has the greatest amount of light pollution? ‎ A. China. B. South Africa. C. Britain. D. Brazil. ‎ ‎9. Which of the following is NOT true? ‎ A. Poorly designed lighting causes light pollution.‎ B. Light pollution can help us observe the night sky.‎ C. In 1998, the International Dark-Sky Association formed.‎ D. There are observatories in Chicago.‎ ‎10. From the passage, we can learn that light pollution mainly occurs in________.‎ A. big cities B. crowded streets C. busy markets D. large factories ‎11. Which of the following is NOT a reason why light pollution is a problem?‎ A. It can reduce the scientific value of research telescopes.‎ B. It is a waste of energy.‎ C. It can prevent wonderful sights from being seen in the night sky.‎ D. It makes lighting systems poorly designed. ‎ ‎ D If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.‎ Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.‎ There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.‎ At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.‎ Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.‎ ‎12.What can people do at the apple events?‎ ‎ A. Taste many kinds of apples. B. Visit fruit-loving families.‎ ‎ C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard. D. .Attend experts’ lectures.‎ ‎13. What can we learn about Decio?‎ A. It is a new variety. B. It is rarely seen now. ‎ ‎ C. It has a strange look. D. It has a special taste.‎ ‎14.What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph3 mean?‎ A. A practical idea. B. A selfish desire.‎ C.A brilliant plan. D. A vain hope.‎ ‎15.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To show how to grow apples. B .To promote apple research..‎ C. To help people select apples. D. To introduce an apple festival.‎ 第二节 七选五（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。‎ ‎ Nowadays haze (雾霾) has definitely become one of the hottest words in China’s mess media. It is reported that a new round of heavy haze to hit Beijing has sent more people to the hospital with respiratory（呼吸的）illnesses, leading to another round of heated debate and calls for laws to control the pollution.‎ ‎ 16 One is Scott P. Schreer, an expert with the World Meteorological Organization (世界气象组织) said, “It is traditionally an atmospheric phenomenon ‎ where dust, smoke and other dry particles (颗粒) gather in relatively dry air, darkening the sky. Industrial pollution can result in dense haze, which is known as smog.”‎ As is known, haze is closely related to a great increase in respiratory illnesses, especially in winter with many buildings heated through coal burning. 17__ ‎ Haze is no longer a domestic problem. 18 That pushed the government to pass the first Clean Air Act in 1956 to reduce pollution. In 2013, due to forest fires in Indonesia, the capital city of Malaysia Kuala Lumpur and surrounding areas were ruled by dusky clouds for more than a week. That has become the country’s worst environmental crisis since 1997. 19 It experienced a record high pollution level, with the 3-hour Pollution Standards Index reaching a record high of 401.‎ ‎ Luckily, many countries are making joint efforts to deal with haze. In December, 2015, almost 150 world leaders, including Chinese President, Xi Jinping, attended the 21st Conference on Climate Change in Paris. 20__ ‎ ‎[]‎ A. Even Singapore could not escape this misfortune.‎ ‎ B. Anxious parents almost all blame the haze for the illnesses.‎ C. Some people have turned to gas masks and respirators (呼吸器).‎ D. There are many scientists who have explained the causes of haze.‎ E. The main goal was to call on an international action across the globe.‎ F. For instance, the thick fog caused thousands of deaths in Britain in history.‎ G. It can also reduce visibility to under 300 meters in cities, causing traffic accidents.‎ 第二部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） ‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 ‎ ‎ ‎ At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds.
