The Boston area contains some of the most famous universities in the world, including Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). With their reputation(名声) attracting some of the brightest students from around the globe, the heart of New England is young, energetic and active.‎ Best spots ‎ The Fenway area (—home Of the Boston Red Sox baseball team—) attracts students from nearby schools. On game days, the neighborhood's many sports bars are filled with college students.‎ Student activities ‎ Boston's most popular college events are the universities' yearly music festivals, during which big-name stars perform free concerts before the spring term ends.‎ The Berklee College of Music, which attracts top international talents, often organizes free student performances in such picture-perfect locations as the Boston Harbor National Park. The free-to-watch boating races on the Charles River are also well-attended on fair-weather race days when students cheer on their classmates.‎ Student discounts The Museum of Fine Arts is free for students carrying ID from one of the many schools in the city. The historic Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the New England Aquarium offer discounts for all university students, while admission to Harvard's museums is free for Harvard students and discounted for all other college kids.

The new invention is a sort of electronic nose,which can detect extremely low levels of many compounds(化合物）from people’s skin. This isn’t the first time engineers have developed such an object. Earlier models, however, have been bulky and expensive. They could not detect low levels of target compounds either. The new one is ‎ inexpensive and small enough to fit inside hand-held equipment.‎ ‎     The electronic nose can detect extremely slight smell of more than one compound at the same time. "Being able to do this, in such a small object, is the significant discovery,” says Sotiris E. Pratsinis, Professor of Process Engineering & Materials Science at the ‎ Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. His team tested it in special spaces. They were like the small spaces where people might be trapped. Chemicals given off by the volunteers built up inside. The electronic equipment detected those compounds at ‎ unbelievably low levels.‎ ‎     The results were good news for the research team. But they may be not for our ‎ four-legged friends, who could soon be out of a job. "Ideally,this technology could ‎ replace search and rescue dogs," Pratsinis says.‎ ‎     Stephen Taylor, an electrical engineer, agrees that the new technology has some ‎ benefits over dogs. Still, he thinks it may be too soon to have our trusty friends retire. He suspects, "I foresee that such an object could add to the fine work done by the dogs." ‎ Taylor also pointed out some potential limitations of the new invention. "E-noses are ‎ useful. But they can be very likely to be affected by unstable readings and interruption," ‎ he says.‎ ‎24.Why does the author talk about dogs at the beginning? A.To catch the readers’ attention. B.To introduce the topic about e-noses. C.To show what search and rescue dogs do. D.To add background information for discussion. 25.Which of the following best explains "bulky" underlined in paragraph 2? A.Complex. B.Fragile. C. Large. D.Handy. 26.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.How e-noses are made. ‎ B.How powerful e-noses are.‎ C.What e-noses' working principle is. D.What differences between dogs and e-noses are.‎ ‎27.What does Stephen Taylor mean? A.Dogs and e-noses could work together. ‎ B.Search and rescue dogs will retire soon. C.E-noses are more reliable than noses of clogs.‎ D.Dogs are better at finding out trapped people.‎ ‎ C You're at your favorite sporting event, watching your team play their hardest. Then all of a sudden you hear a cheer. This really seems to get the crowd fired up. But did ‎ anyone ever stop and think about how much time and effort it takes to be a cheerleader? Did you ever wonder how much sweat and practice go into cheerleaders being out there to cheer on their home team? Did you ever think these cheerleaders really have to have a good memory also? Not only are they athletes, but they are smart athletes, and the nicest people you will ever meet. Cheerleading is a sport because cheerleaders take part in all kinds of competitions, and there is danger involved.‎ It is not a well-known fact that cheerleaders have to compete in a lot of different competitions. This is something a lot of people think is very easy, but in fact, taking part in the competitions is one of the hardest things that cheerleaders have to do. Competitions take a lot of time and effort. I have been to 37 different cheerleading competitions since the age of five. And in my opinion, competitions require quite a lot of physical and mental effort. ‎ Moreover, there are many dangerous activities involved. Jump is one of the most dangerous things in cheerleading. If you were to come down from the jump incorrectly, you could break a foot, or even a leg. Tumbling (翻筋斗) is another highly risky thing. During tumbling, concussions (脑震荡) may happen when you hit the head on the floor. ‎ I believe that cheerleading is a sport because cheerleaders compete in all kinds of competitions, there are many different skills to learn and master, and it can be a very dangerous sport. So the next time you are at your favorite sporting event listening to the cheers of the crowd, think about the preparation involved in this energetic sport. ‎ ‎28. What is the author's attitude to cheerleaders?‎ A. She looks down upon them. B. She is doubtful about them. ‎ C. She gives them high praise. D. She pays no attention to them. ‎ ‎29. Why does the author mention her own experiences in Paragraph 2? ‎ A. To show how cheerleading competitions work. ‎ B. To prove cheerleading competitions are hard work. ‎ C. To prove the great influence of competitions on her. ‎ D. To show her important achievements in cheerleading. ‎ ‎30. What can be the best title for the passage? ‎ A. Why is cheerleading so popular? B. The moment you hear a cheer C. Your favorite sporting event D. Is cheerleading a sport?‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ Dark stairways(楼梯） can be a bit dangerous, especially when it becomes wet or damp. A railing（栏杆） and sufficient lightning is important, but the cost to install wiring can be a bit expensive. So, stop trying to find ways in the dark and opt（选择） for stylish alternatives that are safe and effective. 31. They also save ‎ money on permanent additions that would cost a little bit more.‎ ‎● Involve Candle Lanterns If you want to add vintage (复古) style to the outdoor stairway, then add a series of candle lanterns. Surround flameless candles with small smooth stones inside the glass globes. The stones will add natural beauty to the home. 32 . It will look great and provide adequate amount of light.‎ ‎● Add weather proof flameless candles on both side of the staircase Battery operated candles need not to be stored. Weather-proof candles and frameless columns would look great on an outdoor stairway, especially if the steps are surrounded by flowers. 33 . As long as wind is not a problem, it will work exceptionally well to light way.‎ ‎● 34 ‎ In an area where strong winds gushes there are a possibility the window will blow away the candle. Accordingly, consider using solid lights. Surround the posts with low growing flowers. 35 . Consider impatiens (凤仙花) for dark location in hardiness zones 3-10 and mazus in sunny area. With due care they will grow beautifully and solar lights will light up the stairways adequately.‎ A. Artificial light is not a good choice B. For the soil will keep the posts firmly on the place C. It is often the most neglected thing while decorating D. Decorate the sides of outdoor steps with solar lights E. Consider these small budget ideas and light the home F. Arrange the column candles in gradual size on both sides of the steps G. Furthermore, the stones will weigh down the lanterns to prevent gentle wind 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I used to think of myself as a quite international person, but my bookshelves told a different story. Besides a few Indian novels and an Australian book, my literature collection was only 36 British and American titles. At the start of 2012, I set myself the 37 of trying to read a book from every 38 in a year to find out what I was missing.‎ Knowing that it’s impossible to find books from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of the 39 bookshop, I decided to ask the planet’s readers for help.

People all over the 42 were getting in touch with me, offering ideas and book 43 . Some posted me books from their home countries. Several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare 44 ‎ ‎ to read works unavailable in Britain. ‎ Even with such an amazing team behind me, however, getting books in English was no 45 task. This was especially true for some African countries. And when it 46 to the small island nation of San Tome & Principle, I would have given up 47 a team of helpers who 48 a book of short stories by Olinda Beja. Then there were places where stories were 49 written down. ‎ All in all, getting stories like these 50 as much time as the reading, 51 the effort was worth it. In the hands of different writers, I was taken inside the 52 of people living far away and shown the world through their eyes. These 53 not only opened my mind to life in other places, but opened my heart to the way people there might feel. And that in turn 54 my thinking. ‎ One by one, the country names on the list changed into 55 places filled with laughter, love, anger, hope and fear. At its best, I learned, books make the world real.‎ ‎36. A. applied to B. based on C. made up of D. made use of ‎37. A. thought B. challenge C. record D. example ‎38.

Unfortunately, a 2017 survey ‎ suggests most people spend more time staring at screens than they do getting their heart rates up.‎ The survey, which was conducted by Gensuswide in partnership with Reebok, evaluated 9,000 adults from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Mexico, Russia, Korea, and Spain. They looked at everything from fitness to technology usage, and the results were definitely surprising.‎ According to the stats, the average participant only spent 0.69 percent of his or her life exercising(or 180 of 25,915 days), only 4,320 hours working out at the gym, hiking, running, spinning, doing yoga, or any other form of exercise in an entire lifetime. We can definitely do better than that.‎ Let’s break it down: If you work out only one hour a day for an entire year, that’s 365 hours. Do that every day for 10 years, and that’s 3,650. For 20 years, that’s 7,300. Those hours add up quickly when you take the time to put them in, and when you have an entire lifetime, a single hour a day really doesn’t get in the way of anything.‎ The best news is that even on those days you can’t find an hour to go to the gym, minutes spent being any sort of active—whether that’s just walking to work or running to catch the bus—add up, too. According to the survey, the average human climbs Mount Everest up to 45 times during his or her lifetime, and runs the circumference(周长) of the planet almost twice.‎ In the end, take these findings as a little reminder to make small, active changes to your day. So put down your phone, shut your laptop, get off your chair, and get moving!‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________　______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ‎
