You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate．This journey, from “field to plate”, is called “food miles”．A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer’s field to the person who buys the food．Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者)．Why is this, and what are the effects(影响) of these long distances? 　　Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market so the food didn’t have to travel very far．The consumers also did not travel very far, because they went to their local market to buy the food．This was a good system for farmers and consumers．However, there were some disadvantages．For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally．In addition, they could only get food that was in season．Now, because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world．We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes．They are available in winter if we want．    Some countries have to import(进口) most of their food．This is because they have difficult climates．The United Arab Emirates(UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries．Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials．    What’s wrong with “food miles”? Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons．First of all, because food travels such long distances．we need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food．This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的) warming．In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty．Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journey．For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer．Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution．We need to buy more local food． 1．What is called “food miles” according to this passage? 　　A．The origins of the food． B．The effects of long distances． 　　C．The journey from field to plate． D．The disadvantages of imported food． 2．The underlined word “available” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “______”． 　　A．easy to get B．not busy 　C．willing to talk 　D．impossible to get 3．Some countries like the United Arab Emirates have to import most of their food because of ____． 　　A．long distances 　　B．difficult climates 　C．fresh and tasty food 　D．modern technology 4．The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to ______． 　　A．buy more local food 　B．increase international trade 　C．travel long distances 　D．use imported materials 5．This passage is mainly about ______． 　　A．how local food travels from field to plate 　B．what “food miles” is and its effects 　　C．how some countries import their food D．where different kinds of food come from 四、单词拼写（共3小题）‎ ‎（一）.根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 1．This kind of mobile phone is very ____ (便宜) and simple to use． 2．“Nanjing Week” at Expo Milano 2015 will last from ____(七月) 7th to 13th in Milan, Italy． 3．Harry doesn’t take medicine when he catches a cold．He always believes that body is able to fight it by ____ (自己)． 4．Dad always tells me not to study only for tests．If that’s all I’m doing, he says, I will soon ____ (失去) interest in learning． ‎ 172‎ ‎5．The Chinese Character Dictation Contest reminds us that Chinese characters play an important ____ (角色) in passing on Chinese language and culture． （二）.根据句子意思，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。 1．— I really like your bike．Is it expensive? 　　— I don’t know how much it is．It’s my ____ (uncle)． 2．We think Samuel is the most suitable person to be our monitor because he does everything very ____ (careful)． 3．Citizens can enjoy ____ (read) thousands of volumes of electronic books online with the first “WeChat library” in Jianye Library, Nanjing． 4．We need to make more young people ____ (learn) Shadow Play so that it won’t disappear in China． 5．With the ____(develop) of technology, the journey to Mars might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft in the future．‎ ‎（三）根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 　　Suppose you find a bright yellow bike on a street corner in the city．You hop on it and ride away．But wait-isn’t this s__1__? No one shouts, “Stop! Thief!” That b__2__ this free ride is just fine with the city． 　　You can find h__3__ of free yellow bikes in some U．S．cities．The idea began in Portland, Oregon, in 1994．People saw a need for f__4__ transportation, and they wanted to help c__5__ pollution．So, to get citizens out of their cars and onto pollution free bikes, they s__6__ the Yellow Bike Project． 　　The public bike are p__7__ bright yellow and placed throughout the city．People can hop on a yellow bike and ride to work to school, or to run errands．They then leave the bike for the n__8__ rider．There have been times when bikes have been stolen, but most people obey the r__9__．What would be the point of stealing something that’s already free? 　　Portland’s i__10__ quickly became popular．Within two years of its start similar programs were set up in cities in six other states． 五、信息匹配（共1小题）根据对话内容，从下面方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空，使对话内容完整正确。‎ why hottest each other washing away similar to A: Guess what? I’m going to Chiang Mai next week． B: Wow, sounds like fun!

The French gave us a warm welcome and helped ‎ 172‎ us get used to living here soon. We have so many things to share with all of you. We are going to send you more emails, but here are the best parts of our holiday in France so far. ‎ We had a fantastic time seeing the Tour de France this summer. It is the most famous bicycle race in the world. The riders travel more than two thousand miles in about a month! We got a quick look at the riders as they sped past! After the race, our family rented bikes, and rode along part of the route that the cyclists used. ‎ A few of you asked whether the French really eat snails(蜗牛). The answer is yes. We went out to dinner the other day, and our parents ordered some. We each tried one and it didn’t taste too bad. The snails, called escargots, are served with lots of butter. They feel a little rubbery when you bite into them, but they don’t really have much taste. Mum’s favourite food here is the French pastries. Dad loves the red wine. Our favourite is the fresh bread from the shop down the street.‎ We went to visit the Eiffel‎ ‎Tower a few weeks ago. We went all the way to the top. It was a sunny day, so we could see for miles and miles into the distance. Dad doesn’t like heights, so he stayed at the bottom of the tower and took pictures from the ground.‎ We miss all of you a lot. Write back to us and let us know what is new at home.‎ Au revoir!

When everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t fall asleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted as a special Christmas present. He wondered how Santa — Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.‎ As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof(屋顶) and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs. He hoped to take a look at the old man before Santa left for his next stop.‎ By the time Bunny was at the bottom of the stairs, everything was silent again. Lots of presents were put under the Christmas tree, but Santa was gone. A little disappointed(失望的), Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.‎ ‎“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”‎ He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. It also had antlers(鹿角) on its head. Bunny almost mistook it for a dog. ‎ ‎“Are you a reindeer?” asked Bunny.‎ ‎“Yes,” replied the brown animal with antlers. “My name is Ralph.”‎ ‎“And you were pulling Santa’s sled(雪橇)?”‎ ‎“I was until I got air-sick,” replied Ralph. “Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”‎ ‎“Isn’t it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick? I mean, isn’t flying what reindeer are famous for?”‎ ‎“Not me, I’m afraid. It makes me scared. I always feel sick when it comes to flying,” replied Ralph. “But everyone wanted me to pull Santa’s sled, so when it was my turn I gave it a try. I’m afraid I just wasn’t cut out for the job. Now I’m stuck here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”‎ ‎“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the special present he wanted from Santa was a new friend!‎ ‎33. Why couldn’t Bunny fall asleep on Christmas Eve?‎ A. He wanted to take a close look at Santa Claus. ‎ B. He was waiting for his special present from his father.‎ C. He was thinking about what present to get from Santa.‎ 172‎ D. He was woken up by a noise on the roof of his house.‎ ‎34. The underlined phrase “cut out” probably means .‎ A. suitable B. famous C. ready D. bad ‎ ‎35. What can we learn from the article?‎ A.

This article seems to tell us that .‎ A. Santa lives in the South Pole with his reindeer B. Santa usually puts Christmas presents on the roofs ‎ C. Santa uses dogs to bring children presents on Christmas Eve D. Santa knows what presents children want without being told D In Western society, especially in the English-speaking world, the chance for young people to see the other countries and experience life is considered important. Many young people, when they finish school at the age of 18, take a gap year before they go to university.‎ Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like when they finish school. Although they are worried about their safety, many think that the advantages of independence and experience are worth the worries. Children are encouraged to be brave, independent and to explore the world on their own or with friends.‎ Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side. This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side of life. For example, if they have a rich life, they may want to see how people in poor areas live.‎ ‎ A gap year after school is also an important chance for young people to spend time thinking about what they want to do with their lives. A little bit of growing up and experience will help them make their important career decisions, especially when they are unsure about what they want to study. ‎ Another reason for going straight after school is to get a break from studying before they start the next few years of university. So anywhere you travel in the world, you will meet young European people exploring the world. ‎ So much of the world has been travelled and explored. The young people are now looking for more worthy experiences. Some of them work as volunteers to do something for the country they are visiting. Many gap year ‎ 172‎ volunteers are now spending a few months teaching English in Thailand, helping feed giant pandas in China or building a well(井) in a village in Africa.‎ ‎ These young people’s wish to explore the world is an expression of the values of the societies that they are part of. Both discovering the world and making a positive difference in it are important parts of the Western mind.‎ ‎37. Which is NOT a reason for young people to take a gap year?‎ A. Young people want to take a break from studying.‎ B. Young people want to be sure about what to study.‎ C. Parents encourage them to be brave and independent.‎ D. Parents encourage them to live a free and wealthy life.‎ ‎38. Now a gap year volunteer might do something more valuable like .‎ A. experiencing different cultures B. helping protect rainforests in Brazil C. making friends with more people D. enjoying traditional local food ‎39. By taking a gap year, young people may .‎ A. stay with their parents all the time B. make money for their further study C. help change the world for the better D. change the Western mind completely ‎ ‎40. The purpose of writing this article is to .‎ A. show different opinions about gap year ‎ B. offer readers information about gap year ‎ C. discover new ways to take a gap year D. tell young people when to take a gap year 四、词汇检测（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文，在答题卡上标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空只写一词。‎ ‎41.

"It must be older than anything we have back home."‎ Earl was looking at the wall outside the pub（酒馆）. The pub's name, The Old Swan, was on the wall. Next to the name was a wooden ship's wheel and in the middle of the wheel was the name of a ship, HMS Swan. The wheel was old, Earl could tell.‎ The next morning, Earl asked to see Tony Thatcher. The Old Swan was Tony's pub. He took Earl to his office while Candy had a coffee outside by the river. Earl said he could give Tony a lot of money for the ship's wheel. He told Tony that Benjamin Cooper, his grandfather, went to America on the ship HMS Swan. But Tony said no at first. After all, the wheel was very old and it was part of the pub's past.‎ ‎"You can think of the past, Mr. Thatcher - can I call you Tony? - or you can think of today. And with the money, Tony, you can buy a good car. Maybe a new Jaguar? And, as l've told you, the wheel is part of my family's pastr too. So you could say it's going back home, in a way. So, what do you say?"‎ A month later, Earl and Candy were smiling as they looked at the wall of their house in Houston, Texas. Earl thought to himself that, at last, he had a piece of his family's past. He was happy.‎ In Portsmouth, Tony Thatcher was happy, too. He was putting his new Jaguar into his large garage（车库）. He was careful not to drive into any of tne six ship's wheels in the garage. A friend of his made the wheels for him. They were just like the one that Earl bought. And there was another wheel on the outside wall of The Old Swan now. Old or new - Tony thought there was no way that a tourist could ever know which was which. Never in a hundred years.‎ 1. Why did Tony refuse to sell the wheel at first?‎ A. Because he thought it was old and part of the pub's past.‎ B. Because he wanted to show it was important to his pub.‎ C. Because he tried to sell it to someone else at a higher price.‎ D. Because he did not really believe what Earl had told him.‎ 2. What can we infer(椎断) from the story?‎ A. Earl had looked for such a wheel for a long time before that.‎ B. Earl would soon find out the truth and become rather angry.‎ C. Tony had sold quite a few wheels like that ancl got wealthy,‎ D. Tony would play the same trick again to make more money.‎ 3. Which ofthe following can be the best title ofthe story?‎ A. The Wheel on the Wall B. An Excellent Buy 172‎ C. Old or New - Who Knows D. the Family's Past D An early form ofa game in which a ball was kicked around a field is recorded in 1004 B.C. Japan. Some sports historians believe that the game of soccer began in England in the third century, however. They say that early English warriors（武士） kicked around the head of a killed enemy. This may or may not be true, hut it is certain that soccer is an ancient sport.‎ Without doubt, the English played soccer during the times of King Edward I in the 1300s. In fact, the king passed a law against playing it. The law said, "There is great noise ... caused by kicking large balls from which many ghosts may appear." Anyone caught playing soccer at that time was put into prison. T:vo hundred years later, Queen Elizabeth I still had people put into prison for playing this "vulgar" sport.‎ Although there were such laws, soccer grew more popular. In 1681 it became an official(正式的) sport in England. By the 1800s, people throughout the country played soccer. By the 18th century, upper-class boys played it at schools. Its popularity grew among all English people.‎ At a meeting held in an English school in 1843, the first rules were suggested. In 1863 the heads of English soccer teams met in London to agree on some official rules. They organized an English football association（协会）. By 1871 all of the English clubs were following these rulcs. Today all soccer teams play by them.‎ Soccer is called "football" everywhere but in the United States. The game is played mostly with feet. No players except the goalie (守门员 ) may touch the ball with their hands. They may control the ball with any part ofthe body except their hands.‎ Soccer is by far the world's most popular sport. Every four years, nearly every country in the world tlghts for the World Cup. Tens of billions of soccer fans from around the world watch the World Cup on television.‎ 1.

He began taking down small trees right away. and in a couple of weeks our stream turned into a pond(水塘).Every day,he added more to his dam(水坝)and to his house. We're sure you've all heard the saying, "as busy as a beaver". Now, we understand this saying as we saw the work that this beaver did over a very short period of time.‎ We thought that would be the last of the beaver's busy activity as winter came. To our amazement, however, he started chewing(咀嚼)on a very large tree. The tree was over 18 meters tall and around 1.5 meters in diameter(直径).We were amazed at the challenge this beaver was trying. All winter, he chewed and chewed. He had setbacks(挫折)as we faced major winter storms and ice-cold weather. But sure enough, when the weather allowed, he would come back and chew a bit more.‎ The beaver's first goal(目标)was to survive--to build。home for the winter. Working every day with that goal in mind, he successfully achieved that goal. But the large tree he started chewing on last fall was a future goal一he wanted the large tree to provide new food and branches(树枝)for the coming spring. Even with the setbacks he faced over the winter, he never gave up until he reached it.‎ ‎ Our beaver's experience reminds us that we need to set goals for tomorrow. Sometimes just surviving seems to take up all of our time. But, if you do just a little bit when time allows and stick to your future goal, you will achieve it.‎ When faced with setbacks, have your goal in heart and don't let the setbacks stop you. Keep chewing like the beaver, and you will achieve your goal in the end.‎ ‎ 23. What is the purpose of the beaver's chewing on the large tree?‎ A. To provide more food for the winter because of the snow.‎ B. To add more branches to his dam and his house.§X§K]‎ C. To prepare new food and branches for the coming spring.‎ D.

So if you're having a bad day and need a boost，then help is just a click away. ‎ ‎ A website is trying to offer people positive(积极的)messages from strangers to cheer them up. It announces to be“the nicest place on the Internet"，where happy people can present their positive thoughts and feelings to those who are in low spirits.‎ ‎ The website, thenicestplaceontheinter.net, lets people post videos of themselves blowing kisses and leaving positive and encouraging messages to lift visitors' spirits.‎ ‎ The website was created by Jeff Lam and is considered to help many people out when they feel low. The well-known artist who lives in San Francisco said he came up with the idea when he and his friend Lauren were having one of those bad days.‎ ‎"We tried to become cheerful，but none of the usual methods seemed to be working. Not music. Not food. What we hoped was something positive, honest and good.So with only a camera and work-free weekend, we created‘The Nicest Place On The Internet," he explained on his website.‎ One user of the site, Joseph Meehan, 27, from Birmingham, said,“it's a fun and 172‎ exciting website. I visit every once in a while when I'm missing my friends or family. I think it could really be a help to people that are feeling down or sad. It may even stop them from doing something stupid. You can also post your video to the website, and they add it to the series. It's very easy to share the love.”‎ Mr. Lam is now working on a new project that allows people to leave positive voicemails for strangers. The idea is that strangers send an audio(声音)diary by leaving a voicemail and then anyone can listen to it.‎ ‎26 .The underlined word "boost" in paragraph 1 probably means ‎ A.鼓舞 B.放松 C.休闲 D.提高 ‎27. The website was created in order to_______‎ ‎ A. provide a place for those who want to post their videos ‎ B. discover something positive, honest and good ‎ C. recommend positive voicemails on the website to people ‎ D. offer something positive to cheer people up ‎28.According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?‎ A. Jeff Lam is working on a new project to collect more audio diaries.‎ B. Jeff Lam met a lot of difficulties during the time of creating the website.‎ C. Joseph Meehan has got help from the website and supports it.‎ D. Joseph Meehan has shared his own positive videos with strangers.‎ ‎ C I was just out of college, only three days into a graduate (研究生)year in England,and I was pulling a heavy bag and suitcase(箱子)through the London Underground. I was also crying out of control.‎ ‎ The day before yesterday, my uncle told me never to speak to him, his wife, or my two cousins again.Earlier, I made a joke. I didn't mean to hurt my aunt's feelings, but it did.I spent the evening in an ugly blue telephone booth (电话亭). crying as I spoke to a family friend who lived in England.‎ When I left the phone booth, I went back to a silent house with three closed bedroom doors. In the morning, I heard everyone get up and leave for work and school. I wrote a note to say sorry and pulled my bags ‎ 172‎ to the train station. When I got into London, I had to take the underground to Angel Station to get to my family friend's house.‎ ‎ I was familiar with the underground, but at the time, it was just endless white tiles（瓷砖).Coming to England seemed like a bad decision. Crying yet again, I tried to lift my suitcase up the stairs.‎ When I was trying hard to walk forward, there were hands. Each time I faced another group of steps,a hand would lift the suitcase. At the top of the steps, the hand would let go, and I'd pull the suitcase to the next group. And just as I wanted to try again，another hand would appear.‎ It happened several times. I never looked up, because I couldn't stop crying.Each hand looked different, and many different people helped me, without asking or saying anything. I couldn't look up. I wasn't able to say thank you.‎ I went on to have an amazing year studying in England, but that was the last time I saw or spoke to any of my uncle's family. Yet when I think about that terrible loss in 2008, I remember those strangers' hands. They were there when I needed them, and even now, they help me out of the sadness of that memory. I think of them as I ride the underground in Washington D. C. today, and I watch the citizens and tourists to offer hands at any time.‎ ‎29. What was the writer's feeling while she was walking in the station?‎ ‎ A. She felt sad and helpless at first, but might feel warm later.‎ ‎ B. She was looking forward to getting help from friends.‎ ‎ C. She expected to leave London and go back home ‎ D. She regretted making the joke, but was angry with her uncle.‎ ‎30. In the last paragraph, the underlined words "that terrible loss" probably mean_________.‎ ‎ A. I was crying when I took the underground in London ‎ B. I left my uncle's family and haven't contacted them since then ‎ C. I didn't say thank you to those who gave hands to me ‎ D. I lost my good mood and felt sad when I left my uncle's family ‎31 .What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A. It tells us a story about an unlucky and homeless college student.‎ ‎ B. It.describes the writer's experience through the underground.‎ ‎ C. It expresses the idea of giving hands to strangers who are in need.‎ 172‎ ‎ D. It shows the helping hands that writer got from strangers.‎ ‎ D ‎ ‎ Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called "Internet of things" is developing.‎ ‎ The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO(首席执行官)BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now，every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether it's a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸尘器).‎ ‎ So, how do household(家用)objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold. ‎ ‎ An Internet-connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize(识别)people's faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too.‎ ‎ But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全)systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example,many early connected-home devices(装置)don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击)，In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014.‎ ‎ So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.‎ ‎32. The Samsung CEO's speech is mentioned to prove that_____.‎ ‎ A. the Internet of things will appear in our daily life sooner ‎ B. Samsung has produced the Internet of things recently 172‎ ‎ C. Samsung products have been part of the Internet of things ‎ D. he spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things ‎ 33. We can infer(推断)from paragraphs 3 and 4 that ‎ A.the chair can know whether the user feels cold or not ‎ B.a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes in ‎ C. an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the house ‎ D. an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the user's smartphone ‎34. According to the passage, it is mentioned that_____·‎ ‎ ①the temperature inside is neither too high nor too low ‎ ②your fridge provides the drinks for you ‎ ③the chair warms up if you feel cold ‎ ④your favourite music starts playing ‎ ⑤your washing machine starts working ‎ A.①②⑤ B.②③④ C.①③④ D.①④⑤‎ ‎35.

Especially, are you an early bird who always wakes up early in the morning, or a night owl(猫头鹰)who almost never goes to bed before midnight? Once you are generally aware of what your sleep characteristics are,you will understand better when your body needs exercise, either early in the morning,sometime during the day, or later on in the evening.‎ ‎ Second, consider your daily plan. When do you seem to be most busy, and when do you plan your most important tasks? Try to fit in your exercise before or at least around these events if possible, so that you can keep exercising and your life won't be affected(影响)as well.‎ ‎ Third, think about when you feel you have the most energy. For most people, that time is usually in the morning after a good night's rest, or after a long day of work. After a busy or much stressful day, exercising can reduce your working stress from hard work.‎ ‎ Lastly, find out the place you plan to do exercise. Your house provides exercise at any time if you own fitness equipment(设备)，but if there is a gym(健身房)down the street or along the way home from work, it will make it more suitable for you to exercise.‎ More importantly, you need to make a plan and try sticking to it for one week. If you do so and can get through the exercise without being pulled in another direction, make it a habit. And once you have set up your fitness plan, don't make any great changes to it unless your doctor allows you to.‎ Introduction ‎__36___to take several points about exercise and find out the best time to exercise.‎ Main Points ‎▲.Know your sleep characteristics and you will have a better__37_____of your body needs exercise.‎ ‎▲.Make your daily Plan well 50 that you can keep exercising____38_____your life.‎ ‎▲.Think about when you are most energetic.Exercising after work can make___39___stressed.‎ ‎▲.Find out where to do exercise，and it will make it more suitable for you.‎ 172‎ Suggestions ‎▲.Stick to your time table and never give up for one week.Then a habit may formed.‎ ‎▲.Don”change your plan unless you and your doc，Or reach a(n)_____40_____.‎ 五、词汇（共8小题;每小题1分.满分8分）‎ A)根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词.‎ ‎41.

Today Austen’s books are more popular than ever. In the last 10 years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be best-sellers.‎ Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University, says that her novels are about marriage, friendships and the family, which are still with us today. “The stories are timeless,”Jenkyns said.‎ Pride and Prejudice(偏见)(1813) is Austen’s most famous work. It is a love story about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. At first, these two dislike each other. Elizabeth is pretty ,smart and lively. She is proud because Darcy doesn’t know about her family. Mr. Darcy is handsome, rich and has a better family background. So, he is proud as well. At the same time, Darcy holds a prejudice against the Bennet family. He has no understanding of why the family, especially its ‎ 172‎ mother and daughters should try so hard to find wealthy and powerful husbands. He thinks they are vulgar. Anyway, Elizabeth and Darcy finally fall in love and become a romantic couple but their families don’t want them to.‎ In Pride and Prejudice, some of the main things that Jane Austen wants to teach people are as follows. Opposites can attract each other. Lovers should not ony make each other feel relaxed or comfortable, but also educate and improve each other.‎ ‎ Austen os often called the greatest romanti writer,so it is surprising she remained unmarried. ‘Maybe she was too romantic, waiting for the perfect man,” Jenkyns says.‎ ‎34.

One day he said, ”Come, I have something for you.”[来源:学.科.网Z.X.X.K]‎ 172‎ ‎ I followed him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal.” He said. Great, I thought,looking around for the boat. But there was none.‎ ‎ Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is in there,” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me how to use them properly. “It’ll be a fine boat,and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he said,”No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The words rang in my head as I worked. Finished the boat. It wasn’t much to look at ,but I was pound. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.‎ ‎ We had to return to America. “You canot bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We already had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.‎ ‎ I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again.‎ ‎ In 1964, Iwent to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children.

Each time I had the boat and carved the year,my grandfather seemed near.‎ ‎ My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine,13; Claire,12.

Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called “Internet of things”.‎ ‎ The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Aamsung CEO spent a lot of time talking abput the Internet things. He said that five years from now,every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things,no matter whether it’s a remote control or a washing machine.‎ So, how do household(家用的) objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well,think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.‎ An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people’s faces and has an infrared sensr(红外传感器),so even if it’s dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who’s there. If the person is someone you don’t know,it can tell you that ,too.‎ ‎ But according to MIT Technology Roview, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). Morever, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this ,many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 menbers by late 2014.‎ ‎ So, picture this: you enter your home.The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? I t may happen sooner than you think.‎ ‎42. What does the article mainly talk about?‎ A.

Countrles[来源:学科网ZXXK]‎ England Certain symbolic objects are mixed into the birthday cake as it’s being prepared．If your piece of cake has a coin in it，then you will be rich．Also，when it’s your birthday，your friends give you the“bumps”．They lift you in the air by your hands and feet and raise you up and down to the floor；one for each year you lived，then another one or two for luck．‎ Denmark A flag is flown outside a window to show that someone who lives in that house is having a birthday．Presents are placed around the child’s bed while he/she is sleeping，so he/she will see them at once upon awakening．‎ Holland Special year birthdays such as 5，10，15，20，21 are called“crown”years．The birthday child receives an especially large gift on a crown year birthday．The family also decorates the birthday child’s chair at the dining room table with flowers，paper streamers and balloons．‎ Canada The birthday child’s nose is greased（涂抹）with butter for good luck．The greased nose makes the child too slippery for bad luck to catch him/her．In some parts of Canada，the birthday person even receives a punch（一拳）for each year he/she is alive and then one for good luck．‎ Brazil The birthday child receives a pull on the ear for each year he/she has been alive．The birthday person also gives the first plece of cake to his/her most special friend or relative，usually mom or dad．‎ Korea There is a big family party on the first birthday．The table is set with food，and four items：a pencil，a ruler，thread，and money．The item that the baby chooses is said to forecast his/her future：excellent student，good with hands，long life or riches．‎ South Africa On the twenty-first birthday，a key made of anything from paper to ailver to gold is presented by the parents as a sign that the child is ready to unlock the door to their future．‎ ‎34．If a British friend is raised up and down to the floor 18 yimes on his birthday，he is most likely（可能的）to be ．‎ ‎ A．17 B．‎18 C．19 D．20‎ ‎35．The following tradition is mentioned in the passage EXCEPT for ．‎ 172‎ ‎ A．giving a pull on the ear B．having a big family party C．greasing butter on the nose D．flying a flag at the child’s bed ‎36．In which countries do people celebrate their 21st birthday specially？‎ ‎ A．Canada and England． B．Denmark and Korea．‎ C．Brazil and Holland． D．Holland and South Africa．‎ ‎37．The passage mainly tells us ．‎ A．people in different countries have their own special year birthdays B．people in different countries celebrate their birthday in different ways[来源:Z,xx,k.Com]‎ C．people always have a big birthday party at home in different countries ‎ D．people always know a 1-year-old baby’s future from the item he chooses C[来源:学|科|网]‎ Let’s try doing thefollowing experiment．‎ What to Do：‎ Use string to hang a paper clip or other small object at about chest（胸部）level．‎ Pick up a stick，such as a broom handle．Take three or four steps away from the paper clip．‎ Now close one eye and walk toward the paper clip．Try to touch it with the tip of the stick．If you miss，try again，still keeping one eye closed．Now try it with both eyes open and see if it’s easier to do．‎ How it works：‎ In the experiment，you have to judge how far away the paper clip is．Your brain has several ways of doing this．‎ One simple way depends on how much your eye has to focus（聚焦）itself．Using only one eye，most people will find it difficult to touch the paper clip on the first try，but the brain still gets some information about distance—though not much．‎ Your brain can judge distance much better when you look at something with both eyes．In fact，your brain has more than one way to use both eyes in judging distance．For example，to see anything clearly，you have to make both of your eyes point at the object．When you look at a nearby object，your eyes turn inward．You can feel this happening if you look at the tip of your finger and move your finger toward your nose．‎ Your brain gets information from the eyes about how much they are pointing toward each other．Using that information，the brain can tell how far away any object is，whether it is a basketball or a paper clip．‎ 172‎ ‎38．How many materials do we need at least to do the experiment？‎ ‎ A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five ‎39．The passage is mainly about that with eyes our brain can judge ．‎ ‎ A．how big an object is B．how high an object is C．how far away an object is D．how much information an object is ‎40．Which of the following is true according to the passage？‎ A．Our brain judges distance in one way when we use both eyes．‎ B．Our brain cannot judge the distance of a small object but a big one．‎ C．How much our eyes focus helps our brain judge the size of an object． ‎ D．How much our eyes focus helps our brain judge the distance of an object．‎ ‎41．From the experiment we can infer（推断） ．‎ A．with one eye we can see an object as clearly as we use two eyes B．our eyes turn towards the inside when we look at an object very near[来源:学+科+网]‎ C．within 3 or 4 steps，the nearer an object is，the more clearly we can see it D．our brain can hardly get any information about distance when we use oneeye D My mom isn’t fancy like other moms．They wear fancy clothes and drive fancy cars．My mom wears her gardening clothes when she walks me to school．‎ When fancy moms laugh，their laughs sound soft and whispery．You can hear my mom’s laugh from down the hall．I show her how to laugh quietly and she practices．But before long she starts laughing even harder than before．‎ At the talent show，my mom cheers loudly，“Bravo，everyone！Bravo！”instead of clapping politely the way fancy moms do．‎ For our class hike（徒步旅行），parents are invited．At breakfast I go over my rules for Mom，“Please don’t whistle．Don’t laugh loudly．No clapping．And stay in line．”‎ The other moms show up wearing fancy jackets and sneakers．My mom wears cutoffs，a floppy straw hat，and her old hiking boots．‎ We hike along，all in a line．Soon Mom starts to whistle her hiking songs，She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain．I shake my head at her．She stops and whispers，“Oops．Sorry，Jane．”‎ 172‎ We keep hiking．Everything is perfect until…‎ Our teacher，Ms．Steele，stops and points，“A snake！”All the moms hold their kids hands and back up，except my mom．“Watch out！It might be poisonous（有毒的）！”Ms．Steele says．‎ The other moms shuttle back some more．However，my mom steps forward and says，“Hmm．Let’s see what kind it is．Nope，lt’s not poisonous．”‎ I shut my eyes．I know what’s coming next．Mom makes a sudden attack．“Got it！”she says．The other moms scream，not sounding fancy at all．‎ Kids gather around as Mom examines the snake．“It’s OK to touch，”she says．‎ Everyone’s too scared，but I go first．“snakes aren’t slimy，”I tell them．Right away，others line up．A couple of the fancy moms come up to touch the snake’s tail．‎ Later，Ms．Steele tells us to draw our favorite part of the hike．After a while，I look around quickly．Everyone’s picture is of Mom and me with the snake．‎ As we hike back to the bus，I squeeze Mom’s hand．“I’m glad I didn’t tell you my don’t-catch-snakes rule．”She smiles．But soon，she’s whistling her hiking songs again！‎ I start to make her silent，then stop．Instead，I take a deep breath and sing out too．Everyone joins in，even the fancy moms．‎ ‎42．The word“fancy”in this passage is close to“ ”．‎ ‎ A．fashionable or expensive B．energetic or valuable C．modern or comfortable D．common or popular ‎43．Jane tries to make some rules for her mom because ．‎ A．she expects her mom not to catch snakes B．she is afraid her mom will make her lose face C．she wants her mom to be different from others D．she wishes her mom to act more politely than the other moms ‎44．Jane begins to feel proud of her mom when ．‎ A．she goes first to touch the snake and other kids follow her B．she joins her mom in singing

As a native English speaker(土生土长的说英语的人), I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with.

Everything seemed to go smoothly for the first two days as we looked for a ‎ 172‎ car for them, showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city, Victoria.

In fact, none of them speak Chinese. Mr. King can’t even buy a mobile phone without his wife’s help. He can’t talk to me, of course. By the third day, he felt lonely and worried. And on the fourth day, we decided to take them to a large Chinese community.‎ Now, we often visit them and they visit us too. Sometimes Mrs. King would still like to live near us but Mr. King cannot. I feel bad because he seems very nice and smart but I can’t talk with him. It seems that neither of us will learn the other’s language because of our ages, maybe we will never have a friendly conversation. But we will think of each other as friends.‎ ‎41.The writer doesn’t have any trouble in traveling around the world possibly because_______.[来源:Z#xx#k.Com]‎ ‎ A. he’s very lucky ‎ B. he speaks very good English C. he’s good at speaking Chinese D. he is good at communicating with others ‎ ‎42.

Tourists and travelers often get to try some unfamiliar food. That is part of the fun of traveling. Here are four people’s experiences with foreign food.‎ ‎ David King is a Chinese student in France. “I never had cheese or even milk before I came to France. Cows are seldom seen in my part of China. So there is no milk or milk products. I drank some milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I tried cheese, too, but I didn’t like it. I love ice cream, though that’s made from milk.”‎ ‎ Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vocation. “I was in a restaurant that was special in fish. I heard some other people order flake, so I ordered some, too. It was delicious! Later, I learned that flakes is an Australian name for shark. Now, whenever I see a new food, I try it on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake.”‎ ‎ Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She is from India. “ I’m afraid to try new foods because maybe there is beef in them. I’m a Hindu(印度教信徒)and my religion(信仰) stops me from eating meat from the cow. That’s why I can’t eat hamburgers or noodles with meatballs.”‎ ‎ Nathan is from the United States. He taught for a year in China. “My friend gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn’t like their appearance at all. The eggs were green inside, but my friends said the color was normal. Chinese people put something on fresh eggs. Then they put them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren’t really very old. Even so, I didn’t want to touch them.”‎ ‎36.

Each year, this butterfly travels about 3000miles to its winter home in central Mexico(墨西哥). How can it fly so far? And why does it make this long and dangerous trip? Scientists still don’t have an answer.‎ For many years, people in Mexico wondered where the orange-and-black butterflies came from every winter. Then, in 1937, a scientist started to follow and study the butterflies. For the next 20 years, he discovered that one butterfly started its journey in Canada. Four months later, it arrived in Mexico. ‎ 172‎ ‎ The length of the butterflies find their way back to the same place? Another amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same area in central Mexico.‎ ‎ How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place? This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation(代)makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great-great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.‎ Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces(繁衍), and then dies. On the trip north,two more generations are born, reproduce, and die. Each of these generations of butterflies is born. This generation has a much longer life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter home of its great-great-grandparents. The butterflies spend the winter there, and in the spring they reproduce and then die. Their offspring will be the first generation of the next circle of life. ‎ Today, people are still studying the Monarch butterfly. But they are not clear about everything. ‎ ‎41.The best title of the passage can be ________.‎ A .Family of Monarch butterflies B. Mystery of Monarch butterflies ‎ C .Monarch butterflies’ birthplace D .Monarch butterflies’ winter home ‎42.It took the scientist ______ to find out that monarch butterflies came from Canada.‎ A . 20 years B. four months C .five weeks D .eight months ‎ ‎43.We know that the _____ generation of Monarch butterflies travel back to central Mexico.‎ A .first B. second C .third D .fourth ‎44.The underlined word “offspring” in the passage is closest in meaning to______.‎ A . seasons B. butterflies C .children D .parents ‎ ‎45.Which statement is true according to the text?‎ A .Monarch butterflies spend winter in eastern Canada.‎ B .The four generations have the same length of life.‎ C .Some generations die on the way north to Canada.‎ D .Scientists are clear about everything of the butterflies ‎ ‎ Ⅳ.词汇运用（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ A）根据句子意思，从方框中选用恰当的单词或短语填空。‎ lead to, fall behind, once a month, take care of , terrible, on business, closed, chopsticks, the most expensive 1.

Here are some stories about him on the way to success. ‎ Ma made his first trip to the a US in 1995 and used the Internet for the first time. After searching for “beer”, he saw that no results came up about China. Then he searched for “China” and still saw no results. He decided to set up a Chinese website--the seed for Alibaba was sown(播种).‎ Ma said he was refused many times in his life. He failed the College Entrance Examination in China three times and few companies offered him jobs, including one at KFC. And he was refused by the famous Harvard University 10 times.‎ It was difficult to learn English when Ma was a teenager because of limited resources. However, he found that he could learn English well by giving tourists free guides around his hometown Hangzhou. And he kept it for nine years. Ma said that tourists opened up a new world for him because everything they said and did was so different from what he had been taught at school and by his parents.‎ Ma’s hero is Forest Gump who never gives up. When he made a speech about his success at Davos(达沃斯论坛)in 2015,Ma said, “Life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you are going to get.”‎ 根据上面短文的内容回答问题。‎ 21. ‎ When did Ma Yun make his first trip to the US.‎ ‎ ____________________________________________________________________‎ 22. ‎ How many times was Ma Yun refused by Harvard‎ ‎University?‎ ‎ ____________________________________________________________________‎ 23. ‎ How did Ma Yun learn English well when he was a teenager?‎ ‎ ____________________________________________________________________‎ 24. ‎ Did Ma Yun make a speech at Davos in 2015?‎ ‎ _____________________________________________________________________‎ 25. ‎ Why does Ma Yun consider Forest Gump as his hero?‎ ‎ ____________________________________________________________________‎ B Many companies today hold meetings to discuss their new plans. As people are paying more attention to the environment problems, more companies are looking for ways to reduce their bad influence on the environment. Many of them achieve this by using web meeting.‎ Web meeting is a technology that allows people to communicate better over the Internet. It’s an easy way of hosting and attending a meeting. Participants(与会者) don’t have to leave the office. Each of them will receive an invitation with the meeting time and date on it. When the meeting is ready to begin, they must sit before their computers. ‎ With web meeting, all participants can attend the meeting at their own desks. They don’t need to drive a car to travel to and ‎ 172‎ from the meeting. As a result, no fuel（燃料) is used and less time is taken up in attending a web meeting.‎ Materials for the meeting are simply e-mailed to all the participants before it begins. Then participants can just read them on the screen. For the company, this not only saves the use of paper but also greatly reduces the mailing cost.‎ As a meeting hall is not used, the only power for a web meeting is the power that is used by the computers. Besides, organized don’t have to pay for food or accommodation（住宿)for the participants. All this means that less energy is used.‎ In a word, web meeting is a cheaper, greener, and more friendly way of hosting and attending a meeting. Companies that hold web meetings are willing to work hard for a better environment. So they can more easily find their working partners who have the same green ideas. In return, they develop good relationship with other companies and improve their business.‎ 根据上面短文内容填空。‎ 21.

Maybe we can find ways to say sorry, or take some action to right any wrongdoing.” This seemed like a very private matter, but Peter thought about it carefully the whole night. ‎ Peter remembered an incident from middle school. In his school, there was a worker, Neil Stone, who none of the kids liked. One night, Peter and two of his classmates decided to play a trick on him. They found a can of red paint, and wrote on the school main road in bright red: Neil Stone is a fool! The next day, the whole school saw these words. Within two hours, Neil had Peter and his two classmates in his office. His classmates said that they had done it but Peter lied, ‎ ‎ denying the truth. No one ever talked about it.‎ 172‎ This morning, Peter went back to his middle school. Neil Stone is still working there. “Sorry, Neil. Do you still remember what happened ten years ago? I want you to know that I did it.” “I knew it!’ Neil laughed. They had a good laugh and a lively discussion. Neil’s closing words were: “Peter, I always felt bad for you because your classmates got it off their mind, and I knew you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for visiting me… for your sake.”‎ Peter knows that no matter how difficult the situation is, it is never too late to clear up the past and make a fresh start.‎ ‎34．What did Peter remember doing in middle school?‎ A.

As a result, we think we can see something that is not actually there or we ignore（忽视）things that actually are there. ‎ Scientists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris have researched this phenomenon（现象）, which they call “change blindness”. Their experiments show how we sometimes just do not see what is in front of our eyes because 42 .‎ Here is one of their most famous experiments. In this experiment, the participants（参与者）were shown a video of two groups of people (one group in white T-shirts and one group in black T-shirts) who passed basketballs around in a ‎ 172‎ hallway. Each group had three members. Simons and Chabris asked the participants to count how many times the white team passed the ball. While the two teams were passing their balls around, a person dressed up as a big bear walked through the group and stopped to look at the camera.

Mr Raymond Johnson has lived in East‎ ‎Town and has worked there as a manager for many years. He is forty-two years old, unmarried, and he lives in a big wooden house on Moonlight Road. The people of East‎ ‎Town know Mr Johnson as an unusual man. He does not often leave his house, but his business has made him very rich. Last night, at about midnight, a man who was out walking saw that one of Mr Johnson’s rooms was on fire. He immediately called the fire station, and the firemen arrived soon after. It took them half an hour to put out the fire. The firemen were surprised that Mr Johnson did not come out of the house, and two of them went inside to look for him. But Mr Johnson was not in the house. In the bedroom the two men found an open safe（保险箱）, which was empty. There were papers on the floor. Mr Johnson’s bedroom windows on the ground floor of the house were open. The firemen also found a set of keys in the room. The police then found out that the keys belonged to Mr Paul White, who visited Mr Johnson at his home yesterday evening. The police are sure that they know the motive（动机）for the crime and are looking for Mr White. The police are puzzled because nobody knows where Mr Johnson is. ‎ REPORT ON MR RAYMOND JOHNSON’S CASE When Late last night, or 59 this morning ‎ 60 ‎ Mr Raymond Johnson’s home on 61 Road, ‎East‎ ‎Town Who Victim: Mr Raymond Johnson (a single, 42-year-old manager of great 62 )‎ Suspect: Mr Paul White 172‎ What l At about midnight, one of Mr Johnson’s rooms 63 fire.‎ l It took the firemen 64 minutes to put out the fire.‎ l In the bedroom on the ground floor: an 65 open safe; papers on the floor; open bedroom windows; Mr Paul White’s 66 .‎ l The police are trying to 67 Mr Paul White.‎ l Mr Johnson is 68 , which puzzles the police.‎ B)阅读短文，回答问题。（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ Red squirrels used to be a common sight in British forests and countryside. But there are fewer than 140,000 red squirrels left now and most of them are in Scotland. However, grey squirrels (introduced from North America) are now so common that many people dislike them. They can be legally（合法的）trapped and destroyed. ‎ On first sight, the two types of squirrel are similar. They both have a long tail, which helps the squirrel to balance when jumping from tree to tree, and the same large eyes, small ears and powerful back legs. However, the grey squirrel has a clear physical advantage over the red. The red squirrel has a head-and-body length of 19 to 23 centimeters, a tail length of 15 to 20 centimeters and a body weight of 250 to 340 grams. Compared to this, the grey squirrel is a larger animal. The head and body measures between 23 and 30 centimeters long and the tail is between 19 and 25 centimeters long. Adult grey squirrels are heavier, weighing between 400 and 600 grams. This size allows them to store more fat and helps them to survive a hard winter, which would be fatal（致命的）to their smaller cousins .‎ So why are red squirrels losing out in competition with grey squirrels? Size is one factor, but there are others. Red squirrels live high up in trees, while grey squirrels spend more of their time on the ground. This means any loss of forests greatly influences the red squirrel population. Another reason for the grey squirrel’s success is its ability to use food provided by people. Like the fox, the grey squirrel can survive in towns and cities. The other problem for the red squirrel is disease. Both squirrels carry a certain virus. While this doesn’t seem to attack grey squirrels, it is fatal to red squirrels. ‎ ‎69．Which are introduced from North America, red squirrels or grey squirrels?‎ ‎70．What helps the squirrel to balance when jumping from tree to tree? ‎ ‎71．How much do adult grey squirrels weigh at most?‎ ‎72．Who are the “smaller cousins” mentioned in the second paragraph?‎ ‎73．There are four reasons why red squirrels are losing out in competition with grey squirrels. ‎ Please list TWO of them.（每条不得超过4个单词）‎ 六、书面表达（满分20分）‎ 请以Actions speak louder than words为题，写一篇短文，简要描述下图中的三个画面，并谈谈自己的想法。‎ 注意：1.词数90左右，已给出的部分（见答题卡）不计入总词数。‎ 172‎ ‎2.可适当发挥，使短文连贯、通顺。‎ ‎3.文中不得出现真实姓名和校名。‎ 徐州市2015年初中毕业、升学考试 英语试题参考答案及评分标准 一、选择填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）‎ ‎1—5 B C A A C 6—10 C B C D B 11—15 B D A A D 二、完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）‎ ‎16—20 B C A D B 21—25 B D C A C 26—30 B A D C D 三、阅读理解（共12小题，每小题2分，满分24分）[来源:Zxxk.Com]‎ ‎31—33 B A C 34—38 B D C A C 39—42 A D B D 四、词语运用（共16小题，每小题1分，满分16分）‎ ‎43. palace 44. height 45. pay for 46. look after 47. under ‎48. herself .49. humans ..50. easier 51. wisely . .52. unknown ‎53. am reading 54. living .55. is considered/has been considered ‎56. worries ..57. has made .58. faced/had faced 五、任务型阅读(满分20分)‎ A）阅读填词。（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 172‎ ‎59. early 60.
