They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids(小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!‎ According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”‎ The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B. C. , painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him ‎ to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.‎ Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.‎ If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.‎ Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.‎ ‎24. It can be learned from the passage that stars today______.‎ ‎ A. are often misunderstood by the public ‎ B. can no longer have their privacy protected C. spend too much on their public appearance D. care little about how they have come into fame ‎25. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.‎ B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.‎ C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.‎ D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.‎ ‎26. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?‎ A. Availability of modern media. B. Inadequate social recognition.‎ C. Lack of favorable chances. D. Huge population of fans.‎ ‎27. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?‎ A. Sincere. B. Sceptical. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.‎ C Two-thirds of the world’s major rivers have now been disrupted (中断) with more than 50,000 dams in an attempt to store water and provide power. In the US，there are more than 85, 000 dams, disrupting large and small rivers and in most cases transforming natural flow. The most famous of these, the Hoover Dam constructed in the l930's, is mainly responsible for the fact that the Colorado River no longer reaches the ocean.‎ Dams besides all their attractive benefits also have negative impacts. Creating a reservoir (水库) means a large area must be flooded. Communities may lose their land，houses and culturally important sites. Downstream of a dam, the flow may be reduced so that farmers cannot irrigate their fields.‎ Environmentally the new reservoir can be a paradise for wildlife especially birds. However it can cause greenhouse gas emissions and poison the water for fish. Also the dramatic rise and fall of water levels during dam releases is too extreme for plains and animals to cope with resulting in dead zones around the shores of reservoirs. Fish that lay their eggs in the shallows for example may find a few hours later that those sites are high and dry.‎ Dams don’t just block water flow. The flow may be reduced so that farmers will have great trouble getting water for their fields. They also prevent fish migrations and are a barrier to sediment (沉淀物) flows. Instead of rushing downriver sediments get backed up against the dam wall which cause the reservoir level to increase over time．However, sediments which are rich in nutrients have become a problem. The fertility of the entire system can be influenced with soils lost during seasonal rains not being replaced.‎ Perhaps the biggest problem can be seen in deltas (三角洲) often host to large cities，which are sinking into the oceans. Groundwater is being extracted to feed the city causing the urban weight to sink and sediments washed away by the ocean are no longer being replaced. The result is that sea level rise in cities from Shanghai to Alexandria.‎ ‎28. What effects does creating a reservoir have on people’s life?‎ a. People will see fewer birds near the rivers．‎ b. Farmers below the dam may have less water to irrigate their field c. Visitors can’t see some cultural relics anymore．‎ d. More conflicts and wars over water will break out e. All kinds of fish will become extinct in the future A. b c B. c d C. b e D. a c ‎29. With many dams built across rivers, fish will_______.‎ ‎ A. find more places to lay their eggs ‎ B. feed on more sediment rich in nutrient C. face a more dangerous living habitat ‎ D. find it easier to deal with the rise of water ‎30. How can dams influence the cities like Shanghai?‎ A. Its entire system will be influenced. B. It will lie below sea level in the future C. The rainy season will last longer. D. Rich soils will be washed away ‎31. What does the text mainly talk about?‎ A. Environmental benefits of dams B. Cultural loss of dam C. Economical gain of dams D. Environmental loss of dams.‎ D Ethiopia‎’s eastern lowlands bordering Somalia are suffering through a severe drought. The rainy season was late and not enough, causing great losses among local livestock herds. Coining on the heels of two previous dry years in Ethiopia, the drought of 2017 compounded already serious situation in the country. As a result, many families in the country’s Somali region are experiencing chronic (长期的) food insecurity and concerning rates of a lack of nutrition.‎ The United States, Ethiopia’s largest donor of emergency and development aid, continues to deliver a large-scale humanitarian response. In late August, USAID Administrator Mark Green announced that in order to help relieve the terrible humanitarian situation, the United States will deliver 91 million dollars in additional humanitarian assistance for those Ethiopians who are even now struggling with severe food insecurity and malnutrition (营养不良).‎ ‎“This funding will provide additional emergency food assistance and vital medical care,” he said.‎ A day earlier, Mr. Green announced that Ethiopia had been chosen as one of a dozen countries that will participate in the second period of the Feed the Future Initiative. This 7-year old program aims to reduce global hunger, poverty, and under-nutrition by focusing on smallholder farmers, increasing investments in agriculture, and supporting country-owned plans for improving food security and nutrition while creating opportunities for economic growth and trade. In this way, the United States hopes to help strengthen Ethiopia’s resilience (恢复力) to climatic shocks.‎ I don’t view development in humanitarian assistance as a gift or a handout. I view it as a hand up. We want to help people stand on their own two feet and build their own brighter futures, and that’s what I hope our assistance can play a useful role in.” said USAID Administrator Green.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word “compounded” in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ A. Mixed. B. Changed. C. Formed. D. Worsened.‎ ‎33. What is the purpose of the Feed the Future Initiative?‎ A. To help build Ethiopian brighter futures.‎ B. To deliver humanitarian assistance to Ethiopia.‎ C. To reduce hunger, poverty mid under-nutrition worldwide.‎ D. To help strengthen global resilience to severe droughts.‎ ‎34. What can be learned according to the text?‎ A. USAID is expected to help Ethiopians build brighter futures.‎ B. The United States will send 91 billion dollars to Ethiopia.‎ C. USAID is considered as a handout by Administrator Green.‎ D. Ethiopians are now suffering no nutrition.‎ ‎35. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. The Feed the Future Initiative Program B. More US Humanitarian Aid for ‎Ethiopia C. Severe Droughts in ‎Ethiopia D. Food Insecurity and Malnutrition in ‎Ethiopia 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ When many people in the west think of China, the animal that they think of is the dragon．36 Many popular legends tell of how dragons killed brave knights and ate beautiful maidens．‎ For Chinese people, however, the dragon is not an evil monster. 37 The dragon’s main task is to create harmony and bring rain. Dragons are celebrated in art and architecture, and of course the dragon dance is a very popular ritual. Millions of Chinese have the word ‘long’, meaning dragon，as part of their name．‎ ‎ 38 Wales, one of the four countries in the UK, has a red dragon proudly displayed on its flag. The only other country in the world with a dragon on its flag is Bhutan，a tiny country，between China and India．‎ Almost all countries in the world have an animal symbol to represent their country, and it is particularly obvious during sports. The English see lions as brave, proud animals and the England football team have three lions on the front of their football shirts． 39 The national rugby team is more commonly known as the Wallabies, a kind of small kangaroo．‎ All countries are proud of their symbols, which they think reflect national characteristics. Recently, a professor claimed using the dragon as a national symbol could make western countries have a negative view of China． 40 As we are all familiar with that Chinese symbol，no doubt China will keep it．‎ A．Australia is famous for kangaroos, of course．‎ B．In East Asia, some countries use the dragon as a symbol.‎ C．China isn’t the only country to have the dragon as its symbo1．‎ D．For them, the dragon is an aggressive monster that breathes fire．‎ E．It’s a cultural and spiritual symbol for prosperity and good luck．‎ F．The kangaroo is not only loved，but highly respected in Australia．‎ G．But in an Internet survey 90％of Chinese people wanted to keep the dragon．‎ 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；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ When I was young at school, I loved to talk, a characteristic not always appreciated by Miss Jordan, my tenth-grade English teacher. ‎ She was a teacher no one wanted because she was so 41 .
