You are likely to enjoy one during at least one (hopefully all) of your birthday parties. But in between delicious bites of cake, have you ever stopped and wondered, “Why am I eating this? What makes this dessert fit to celebrate the day of my birth?”‎ ‎ It’s because you are as important and beloved as the gods. Kind of.‎ ‎ The ancient Egyptians are thought to have “invented” the celebration of birthdays. They believed when pharaohs (法老) were crowned, they became gods, so their coronation (加冕) day was a pretty big deal. That was their “birth” as a god.‎ ‎ Ancient Greeks borrowed the tradition, but realized that a dessert would make the celebration all the more meaningful. So they baked moon-shaped cakes to offer up to Artemis, goddess of the moon. They decorated them with lighted candles to make the cakes shine like the moon. Hence, it is the reason why we light our birthday cakes on fire.‎ ‎ Modern birthday parties are said to get their roots from the 18th century German celebration “Kinderfeste”. On the morning of a child’s birthday, he or she would receive a cake with lighted candles that added up to the kid’s age, plus one. This extra candle was called the “light of life,” representing the hope of another full year lived.‎ ‎ And then, torture — because no one could eat the cake until after dinner. The family replaced the candles as they burned out throughout the day. Finally, when the moment came, the birthday child would make a wish, try to blow out all the candles in one breath, and dig in. Like modern tradition, the birthday girl or boy wouldn’t tell anyone the wish so it would come true.‎ ‎ Since the ingredients (原料) to make cakes were pretty expensive, this birthday custom didn’t become popular until the Industrial Revolution. More ingredients were available, which made them cheaper, and bakeries even started selling pre-baked cakes.‎ ‎54. What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A. The origin of birthday cakes. B. The significance of birthday cakes.‎ ‎ C. The history of birthday parties. D. The introduction of cake production.‎ ‎55. Who established the tradition of celebrating birthdays with cakes according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Germans. B. Pharaohs. C. Ancient Greeks. D. Ancient Egyptians.‎ ‎56. The underlined word “torture” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.‎ ‎ A. pleasure B. replacement C. sharing D. suffering ‎57. Why was the birthday cake custom unpopular before the Industrial Revolution?‎ ‎ A. The transport was inconvenient. B. The ingredients of cakes were expensive.‎ ‎ C. The cake could not be eaten before dinner. D. The bakeries would not sell pre-baked cakes.‎ C Ahead of the summer travel season , airlines in the United States usually compete to sell tickets and fill seats. But the airlines that operate the grounded Boeing 737 Max planes have a new problem : there are not enough seats to meet the demand .‎ The revenue(收益)is right in front of them . They can see it , but they can’t meet it , said Mike Trevino. He is an airline industry expert for Southwest Airlines Pilots Association .‎ The grounding of Boeing’s 737 Max came after two deadly crashes in five months. Southwest Airlines is the world’s largest 737 Max operator. The company has 34 of the planes .‎ American Airlines operates the second-most, with 24. These planes have been removed from use until at least August, The grounding of the planes has led Southwest to cancel 160 of its 4,200 daily flights between June 8 and August 5.‎ American Airlines will cancel 115 daily flights, or 1.5 percent of its total summer flights. Southwest only flies Boeing 737s. It had estimated $ 150 million in lost revenue between February 20 and March 31 --- mostly because of MAX cancellations .‎ The 737 Max was grounded worldwide in March following a deadly Ethiopian Airlines crash . It came five months after a Lion Air crash in Indonesia. All on board both planes died .‎ Boeing is under pressure to provide additional software. Experts are examining the original software as a possible reason for the crashes .‎ Boeing must prove to worldwide regulators that the plane is safe to fly. That process may take more than 90 days. Planes in the United States are usually mostly full during the months of June , July and August .‎ ‎58. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that__________.‎ ‎ A. the competition among the airlines is becoming more and more fierce ‎ B. Boeing needs some time to prove to the world that their 737 Max planes are safe ‎ C. after the two deadly crashes, more and more have decided not to travel by air ‎ D. Southwest Airlines suffers the most in revenue ‎59. What is the total number of the daily flights of American Airlines in summer?‎ ‎ A. About 4,200. B. About 115. C. About 160. D. About 7,600.‎ ‎60. What is it that possibly led to the two deadly crashes according to experts?‎ ‎ A. The terrible management of the airlines.‎ ‎ B. The inexperience of the pilots.‎ ‎ C. A bug in the operating system.‎ ‎ D. The pressure from Boeing.‎ ‎61. What will be probably discussed in the next paragraph?‎ ‎ A. some ways to fill the seats ‎ B. how to earn enough with each seat ‎ C. how long the problem will last ‎ D. how to deal with the increasing cost D Dear Teenage Self,‎ ‎ Oh, how I wish you could see what I see now. I’m older, and life has made me wiser. Nothing is the way I thought it would be. It’s so much better.‎ ‎ When I look back, I see you as one person but I know there were two of you: one that the world saw and the private one that only you knew. I remember the nights and days filled with worry, sadness, and confusion. I remember being both of you. I remember the smile I would show to my friends and then I remember the tears no one knew that I cried behind my closed bedroom door.‎ ‎ Oh, how I wish I knew that everything would be okay someday. But, I probably wouldn’t have believed it at the time.‎ ‎ Oh, how I remember those teenage years as the most painful years of my life. Living under a microscope. Everything was magnified (放大). I know it’s hard to believe, but your teenage feelings, friendships, family, and appearance are way out of proportion (比例). You think that whatever happens will stay that way forever. Nothing is farther from the truth.‎ ‎ Steve Carrell said it best in Little Miss Sunshine after Paul Dano told him that he just wants to go to sleep and wake up when he’s 18. Steve Carrell answered, “What? High school — those are your prime suffering years. They don’t get better suffering than that.” “Do you know Marcel Proust? He had a painful life. He gets to the end of his life and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, those were the best years of his life because they made him who he was. All those years when he was happy, you know ... a total waste. He didn’t learn a thing. Sleep until you’re 18? Think of the suffering you’ll miss.”‎ ‎ It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Your teenage years were the best suffering of your life. Those painful breakups, lonely nights, and tears cried are the times that make you stronger, smarter and sculpt (塑造) you to become the rock-solid adult that you will become.‎ ‎62. Who might be the writer of the letter?‎ ‎ A. Paul Dano. B. Marcel Proust. C. An adult. D. A teenager.‎ ‎63. By “Nothing is farther from the truth”, the writer means that ________.‎ ‎ A. nothing stays the same B. teenage feelings are easy to hurt ‎ C. everything remains unchanged D. teenage years are hard to tolerate ‎64. What can we infer from Steve Carrell’s words?‎ ‎ A. Adolescence is disappointing. B. Adolescence promotes personal growth.‎ ‎ C. Blaming others is meaningless. D. Sleeping late benefits teenagers’ health.‎ ‎65. Which of the following sayings best expresses the main idea of the passage?‎ ‎ A. It is never too late to learn. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.‎ ‎ C. Actions speak louder than words. D. There is a rainbow after every storm.‎ 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。‎ What’s in a logo?‎ ‎ What attracts customers? (66) ▲ It is not only the image provided by the packaging that counts but the whole corporate identity (企业形象) of the company.‎ ‎ There are now many products and services on the market which are similar in content though produced by different companies. It is important, therefore, for a company to distinguish itself from its competitors by having a strong company image which is immediately recognizable.‎ ‎ Logos are part of this image.

All groups from all cultures and throughout the ages have used colours and symbols to show their identity.‎ ‎ (68) ▲ Some colours may be connected with coldness in one culture and with warmth in another; some colours represent life in one culture but death in another.

(69) ▲ The design of the words “Coca Cola” has not changed since 1886, although the surrounding design has been changed from time to time.‎ ‎ Companies need to have a strong corporate identity.

But is that true？‎ Actually, this is highly likely. Although a sneeze can burst from your nose in a speed of 320 kilometers per hour, it can't transfer（转移）that pressure to your eyes. Plus, there's no muscle directly behind the eye with which could push the eyeballs outward. Thus, your eyelids don't have much muscle power, so even if they are responsible for keeping your eyeballs in place, they would fail.‎ But then why do we always close our eyes when we sneeze？It's simple a reflex（反射）of the body, just like how our legs kick when our knees tapped. The nose and eyes are linked by nerves. so the stimulation（刺激）from the sneeze travel up one nerve to the brain then down another nerve to the eyelids, cause a blink（眨服）for most people. It's just an involuntary reaction with no real purpose.‎ 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎ 下图体现了人工智能时代人们的生活方式，请根据你对图片的理解用英语写一篇短文。‎ 优点 ‎1. 帮助摆脱枯燥无味的工作；‎ ‎2. 推动科研领域发展；‎ ‎3. ......‎ 弊端 ‎1. 导致失业；‎ ‎2. 纵容懒惰；‎ ‎3. ......‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ ‎（1）简要描述图片所反映的一种趋势；‎ ‎（2）根据上述表格简要分析人工智能的优点和弊端；‎ ‎（3）举例说明如何运用人工智能帮助我们学习。‎ ‎【写作要求】‎ ‎（1）作文词数150左右；‎ ‎（2）作文中不得提及有关考生个人身份的任何信息，如校名、人名等。‎ 参考词汇：‎ 人工智能：artificial intelligence (AI) 时代：era ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎ ‎ 答案 第一部分 听力（满分30分）（共20小题:每小题1.5分, 满分30分）‎ ‎1-5 CCCBC 6-10 CABAB 11-15 BABCC 16-20 CBCAA 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分 40分）‎ 第一节 单项填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）‎ ‎21-25 BCCAC 26-30 CABDB 第二节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）‎ ‎31-35 DADBC 36-40 ACDAD 41-45 CBCAD 46-50 BCBDB 第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）‎ 第一节 阅读理解（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）‎ ‎51-53 CBD 54-57 ACDB 58-61 BDCB 62-65 CABD 第二节 七选五（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ ‎66-70 FGCAD 第四部分：单词拼写（共 10 小题；每小题 0.5 分，满分 5 分）‎ ‎71. symptoms 72. faded 73. significance 74. comprehension 75. consisting ‎ ‎76. anxiously 77. raising 78.officially 79. embarrassed 80. distinguishing 第五部分：写作（共两节，满分 35 分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）‎ ‎1. and→or 2. likely→unlikely 3. in→at 4. 去掉with 5.

On one hand, with the widespread application of AI, people are freed from daily routine, and some scientists can push the boundaries of human achievements in fields like space exploration. On the other hand, some people are concerned that not only will AI take over work done by humans, putting an end to the human race but the overuse of AI will make us lazier and less intelligent.‎ With robots available, we students will have a personal tutor expert in everything. Whenever running into difficult math problems or practicing our oral English, we can turn to it instantly without worrying about disturbing it, which improves our study efficiency and effectiveness. ‎ 听力原文 Text 1  W: Is there any position available in your office? M: My office?

It costs $3.70 for grown-ups, 17 $2 for children and only $1.50 for people who are over sixty and school groups. 18If you are in a group of six or more people, we can give you a special guided tour of the center. 19But you need to talk with someone at the information desk when you arrive. The latest attraction is a big glass tunnel you can walk through. It is right in the middle of the center. All around you, you will see fish swimming — sometimes even over your head. You certainly have the clearest view of the undersea world. 20When you get hungry, there is a relaxed family dining room in the northern part of the center serving food. That’s all. For more information, please phone 017-5642. We hope you enjoy your time here. Thank you.‎
