You should take a chance, be brave, and act firmly.‎ ‎ “Go for it!” gets name from football. Not football as it is played in most countries such as England, Egypt or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada.‎ ‎ One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three attempts, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a critical（批评的） decision.‎ ‎ The conservative choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary（临时的） defeat in order to gain a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more exciting choice, however, is to try a fourth and final time to gain the remaining yards needed.‎ ‎ In the nineteen eighties, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to act bravely.‎ ‎ There is no guarantee that the action you “Go for it!” will succeed. But that is the chance you take when you decide to go for it. You put your fears behind. You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it.‎ ‎21. The expression “Go for it!” comes from______.‎ A. English football B. Egyptian football ‎ C. Japanese football D. American football ‎22. According to the passage, when we decide to go for it, we only consider______.‎ ‎ A. safety B. action C. result D. situation ‎23. In which of the following situations should we use the expression nowadays?‎ A. We decide to avoid trouble or danger for the future. ‎ B. We try to improve our English for better education.‎ C. We need to make a quick decision at the last moment.‎ D. We have to make a choice between success and failure.‎ B On March 17, people around the world celebrate the Irish holiday of Saint Patrick’s Day. It is a major holiday in Ireland, but the rest of the world has influenced its celebration as much as the Irish themselves.‎ Most Americans think of Saint Patrick’s Day as a big party centered around drinking alcohol. But its beginnings in Ireland were religious, says Mike Cronin, a professor of Irish history with Boston College of Massachusetts.‎ Ireland‎ is a mostly Roman Catholic country. Saint Patrick lived in Ireland more than 2,000 years ago. He is widely considered to have established Christianity in the country. The Church honored him with a holy day in the 17th century. March 17 marks the date of his death. The average Irish person honored March 17 quietly. Attending church services was the main activity. In fact, most businesses that served alcohol would close in honor of the day.‎ In the early 1900s, Ireland’s government made St. Patrick’s Day an official holiday. By the 1960s, towns across Ireland started celebrating the holiday with parades and music. In Ireland today, St. Patrick’s Day is a four-day public celebration that includes parades, music, food, and games.‎ For Irish people living outside Ireland, Saint Patrick’s Day became a chance to celebrate their Irish identity and culture. Now, countries and cities around the world celebrate March 17 in creative ways. Many countries hold Saint Patrick’s Day parades. Famous monuments, including the Great Wall of China, the Niagara Falls, and the Gateway of India in Mumbai will all be colored by green light for the day. ‎ Cronin says that the worldwide popularity of Saint Patrick’s Day has helped the Irish government, which uses the holiday as a form of diplomacy. And for a small island of 4.5 to 5 million people it’s quite remarkable that they have that kind of soft power.‎ 21. How did average Irish people celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day in the 17th century?‎ A. Drinking alcohol. B. Parading in the streets.‎ C. Attending church services peacefully. D. Coloring well-known monuments green.‎ 22. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Saint Patrick’s Day is the most significant day in the US.‎ B. Saint Patrick’s Day plays a role in foreign affairs in Ireland today.‎ C. Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated worldwide today as in the 17th century.‎ D. On Saint Patrick’s Day, parades and parties are held throughout America.‎ 23. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. The origin of Saint Patrick’s Day.‎ B. The celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day.‎ C. The influence of Saint Patrick’s Day on the world.‎ D. The role of Saint Patrick’s Day in Irish diplomacy.‎ ‎27. What is Cronin’s attitude towards the popularity of Saint Patrick’s Day?‎ ‎ A. Unclear. B. Neutral. C. Negative. D. Positive.‎ ‎ C ‎ Kayla Coehoorn sweeps（打扫） the floor in her family’s cow barn(畜棚). She spreads feed. Soon she’ll cut the grass. One thing she won’t do is milk cows. Kayla manages the family’s cow herd, which until last year meant getting up at 5 for milking, then milking again in the evening. Not anymore. Last year the family built a new barn equipped with a pair of robotic milking machines. The machines milk cows around the clock, without Kayla in attendance. Kayla, feeling so relieved, loves it and so do the cows.‎ ‎ Robotic milking was first developed in Europe and only recently began to catch on in the US. About 5% of American cow farms have begun to use robots. But the machines are growing in popularity, especially on smaller farms.‎ ‎ The robots solve a big problem. As older farmers retire, young people are unwilling to fill their shoes. Robotic milking is encouraging them to take another look. It not only makes the work easier but also gives them the flexibility（灵活性） to get up later or take a day off, or attend a soccer game. It allows more time for other things.‎ ‎ Cows come two or three times a day to a robot, attracted by the promise of food. As each one steps up, a steel arm swiftly washes its udder(乳房) and applies four milking cups. Computers not only control the robots but also collect detailed information about each cow. On traditional farms, the farmer pushes the old milking machines and attaches the machines by hand.‎ ‎ However, robots won’t save all farms. Low milk prices have got many cow farmers deep in debt and worsened the financial(财政的) uncertainty that also helps drive them out of business. Over the past few years, the US has lost nearly 17,000 cow farms. So robots aren’t a panacea(万能药). Still, experts say robotics can offer new possibilities to families facing hard decisions about the future. “Especially in places with a history of smaller farms, this will help keep that way of life,” says one expert.‎ ‎28. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. An example of cow farmer’s daily life in the US.‎ ‎ B. Kayla’s opinion on applying robotic milking .‎ ‎ C. The effect of robotic milking on Kayla’s work.‎ ‎ D. The popularity of robotic milking in recent years.‎ ‎29. Why might young farmers be attracted to farm work by robots?‎ ‎ A. They could increase their income. B. They could have more family time.‎ ‎ C. They could learn about high technology. D. They could have their farm life improved.‎ ‎30. According to the text, milking tech with the use of robots_________.‎ ‎ A. still needs the work of human hands. B. could also check the cow’s condition.‎ ‎ C. is widely used on large cow farms. D. has no requirement for location and time.‎ 第二节（共5个小题；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。‎ England‎ is the perfect place for you to travel to if you’re thinking about taking your first abroad trip. You’ll need to prepare for the trip with some international travel basics and map out a realistic itinerary (旅程) to make the most of your experience.‎ Get your paperwork done.‎ ‎ 31 If you don’t have a current passport, you’ll need to bring your pictures and some proof of your citizenship — a birth certificate, a certificate of naturalization, or a certificate of citizenship — to a post office. Fill out a passport application, and in a month you’ll have your passport.‎ Plan your trip.‎ Plan your trip to England in early to mid-October or in mid-to-late March, because that’s when flights are the cheapest. During the winter, the days grow very short. Besides, sunlight is sometimes limited to less than eight hours per day. 32 ‎ Settle yourself in England.‎ Find affordable accommodations by staying at a hostel. Hostels vary in shapes, forms and sizes. 33 If you can afford to stay at a hotel, make sure you are aware of check-in times and policies.‎ To get around England, the most common methods are bus and rail. 34 Passes for a full day, week, or month can save you money if you’re going to take the Tube for even a few stops.‎ ‎ 35 ‎ Buy a budget travel book to find attractions and sites in cities such as: London, Bath, Cambridge Oxford, Canterbury, Leeds and Wimbledon. Popular attractions include: Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Portobello Market and the Tower of London in London; Bath Abbey in Bath; the colleges of Cambridge; and the Canterbury Cathedral in Canterbury.‎ A.

After purchasing everything they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it off at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, not very healthy looking. His clothes were torn and he looked as if he wasn’t even able to meet his daily needs.‎ They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods at their home. The old porter quoted just a $20, a price well below the market rate for delivering goods at couple’s home in his cart. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make money for every single meal so he needed anything he could earn.‎ The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, two hours passed, but the porter still hadn’t delivered their stuff. ‎ The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person but you never listen to me. Such a person is not even able to earn to feed himself for one time in a day, and you handed him everything we purchased for our big party. I am sure instead of delivering at our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”‎ They both left towards the market.

That poor old man was sick since last month. He wasn’t able to earn enough to even have a single meal of the day. He was on the way to deliver your stuff, but he, who was hungry and sick, couldn’t gather the strength to go any further in this heat of the noon. He fell down and he handed me $15. His last words were, ‘I had taken an advance for this delivery, you take this and please deliver it to this address.’” Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes and turned to his wife. “He was hungry, he was poor, but he was an honest man,” the husband said. The wife felt quite ashamed that she was angry 2 with her husband’s decision. She had no courage to look her husband’s in the eyes. Suddenly it dawned on her that honesty has no class. Respect everyone regardless of their financial and social status. It’s always a good deed to give the one who deserves. 听力文稿： Text 1 M: Would you like to stop for a rest now? W: Oh, let’s keep going. We are almost at the top of the hill. Text 2 W: Camping is by far the healthiest way to spend a holiday, and it is also very enjoyable. M: That’s true. In summer there are fewer great pleasures than those of camping. Text 3 W: Do you think you could give me a ride to the library tonight? M: I’d like to, but I’m heading in the other direction. I’m meeting Jean tonight. Text 4 ‎ M: This book with a green cover is 20 dollars and the one with a blue cover is 15 dollars more. And the red one is twice as expensive as this one. W: I like the one with the blue cover. But I can’t afford it right now. Sorry. Text 5 W: I want to go to the concert starting at 7 tonight, but I have to work until 5. There won’t be enough time to go home for dinner. M: Then let’s eat downtown. That’ll give us plenty of time to get to the concert. Text 6 W: Can you go faster, sir? I have a meeting in 15 minutes. M: The traffic near the stadium is bad because of the pop concert. W: Should I get out and walk? M: No, don’t worry. I know a short cut that will get you there in 5 minutes. Text 7 M: Hello, Lisa.

Text 10 You’re working hard but still can’t reach your study goals. Here’s a quick tip to help you make the most of study time. Study with a partner or in groups. Rather than live in a cave with your nose in the books all day, you should grab a friend from your class and study with him or her. Group studying helps you to engage and process the information more deeply. Of course, it means more than just going to the library together and studying with your headphones on. Have fun with study. Play guessing games. Race ‎ to solve a math problem first and discuss it afterwards. You can also divide the class topics and take turns teaching them as creatively as you like. Sometimes the best way to learn something is to teach it, even if you haven’t mastered it yet. Actively engaging in study activities with someone else not only helps you to learn, but makes studying more enjoyable. ‎
