The teacher wrote, “not one stroke (笔画) more, not one stroke less” about some compositions that weren’t neatly written.‎ The story immediately aroused a heated debate among British Internet users and got 652 comments after it was published on Wednesday. Some British readers were amazed by the neat handwriting and attributed (归于)China’s growing development to this strict teaching method. A reader named Jim said, “This is another example of why China is rising to the top”, and his comment gained 72 supports. But some readers thought the too-picky method doesn’t make sense in helping students learn better English and suppresses（压制） students’ creativity.‎ Chinese Internet users also expressed different opinions after English newspapers, a user of China’s Twitter like Sina Weibo, posted the story along with its comments on Weibo on Thursday. Since then, the post has received 1, 479 comments. Sina Weibo user wenjinzetui said, “Beautiful handwriting proves an ability”, echoing an old Chinese saying that the style is the man. However, another Weibo user, honorificabilitus, said, “It’s meaningless to pursue that neat English handwriting, since learning language is for communicating, let alone English students don’t write that neatly. ”‎ There are also many Weibo users showing worry about this too-strict teaching method, as weibo user li-owl-stop said, “We should reflect the Chinese-style education, and it’s hard to imagine what would happen if all the schools in China adopted the teaching method at Hengshui High School. ”‎ ‎21.

Some people said it was an expected thing while others asked: Why now? What will you do?‎ For me, making the move to Israel is the fulfillment of a dream that has lasted for my 47 years of life. I have always known that Israel is my home. Over the years Israel has been in my heart, but I have found a number of reasons to put off making it my permanent residence: kids, the economy, education… you name an excuse, and at some point I have probably used it.‎ Truthfully, I believe that I was always just a little bit scared. And of course I still am, with the fear factor that is reported by the press surrounding the Israeli military and economy. However, it has come to the point when I have realized that for over 2000 years we have longed for this land, and that for 47 years I have denied the opportunity to make it my home. I am finally ready to fully grasp this opportunity.‎ Over the years, I have always loved visiting Israel. I have traveled there with my family, and enjoyed introducing thousands of travelers to the country. I have come to love all of these things about Israel as a tourist because I get to love my home. And as far as waiting for the “perfect” condition under which to make aliyah, I believe the time is now!‎ I have been asked many times if I am nervous about moving to Israel. Before I answer, I remember that we have overcome the Greeks, the Romans, the Russian killings, Hitler and the Holocaust(大屠杀)，and the armies of seven countries.‎ How can I not feel confident that I , and my family, will overcome any difficulties that may come our way? I am not worrying, complaining, crying, or fearing as I prepare to make aliyah. I am proud and excited to say that I am fulfilling a 47-year-old dream: I am going home.‎ ‎24. What does the author want to say in the passage?‎ A. His dream is to come true after 47 years.‎ B. It is a dilemma for him to return to Israel.‎ C. He didn’t live a happy life in Israel.‎ D. It is a latest trend to fulfill everyone’s dream.‎ ‎25. The author didn’t return to Israel before because_________.‎ A. his children mainly held him back B. he failed to get determined C. he didn’t save enough money D. he hoped to finish his education ‎26. What does the underlined part “make aliyah” mean in the passage?‎ A. To return to Israel.‎ B. To make a decision.‎ C. To live happily.‎ D. To catch a chance.‎ ‎27. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.‎ A. the author will be happy to meet his relatives in ‎Israel B. Israel is a familiar word but a strange place for the author C. the Israeli suffered a lot in the history D. Israel is still a place between wars and chaos C Throughout Europe golf has been popular for many years. A recent report says that in Great Britain alone, 700 new golf courses will have to be built over the next ten years to meet people's needs.‎ This is all good news for golf lovers, but it worries those who want to protect the environment. Their argument is that the new courses are disturbing the balance of nature. Woods, ponds and fields are being dug up to make way for the courses. The birds and animals that used to live there are being killed or forced to leave. The amount of water that a club uses to keep its courses in good condition is reducing the amount of water available for industrial and other uses. The chemicals used to control insects are sinking into the underground water. ‎ There may be some truth in this, but it is not the whole truth. The days are long past when building of any kind was allowed in beautiful places with no thought for the environment. Planning permission, nowadays, is as strict for golf courses as it is for any other type of development. Before any such project is given the go-ahead, many things are studied. It is only when it is clear no harm will be done to the area that the builders are allowed to move in.‎ A strong case can even be made that golf courses are actually good for the areas where they are built. Courses are usually built in the areas which are not areas of natural beauty. The new courses often make the area look livelier. To make holes more difficult, trees are planted and lakes are filled in around greens. Not surprisingly perhaps, it is not unusual to find that, within months of a course being completed, a lot of animals and birds have moved in.‎ Obviously, careful thought has to go into the design of the new courses. As few changes as possible should be made to the natural environment. Woods and wildlife should be also protected. But this can be, and is being, done. There is no reason why golfers and nature cannot live peacefully together.‎ ‎28. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?‎ A. The rules for playing golf. ‎ B. How to protect the environment.‎ C. The disadvantages of building golf courses.‎ D. Whether golf courses should be built or not.‎ ‎29. According to Paragraph 4, golf courses________.‎ A. make local areas look more beautiful ‎ B. provide more jobs for local people ‎ C. are harmful to the local environment ‎ D. waste too much water and money ‎ ‎30. Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude in the passage? ‎ A. Uninterested. B. Worried. C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful.‎ ‎31. What is True about building a new golf course nowadays?‎ A. It takes up too much land.‎ B. A lot of trees have to be cut down.‎ C. It is easy to get planning permission.‎ ‎ D. Many things will be taken into consideration.‎ D Robotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.‎ However, unlike the plot of one film—which featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientist’s bloodstream — this device could not be inserted into blood ‎ vessels（管）because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallowable robots have been developed in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.‎ To test their latest version, Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter, which might seem to be an odd task, but more than 3,500 people in America alone, most of them children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year. To start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus（食道）and stomach made out of silicone(硅胶). It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine（肠）, and contains a little magnet. This is folded up and encased in a ‎10mm×‎27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus(肛门). After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery burn to speed up healing.‎ The artificial stomach being transparent on one side, the researchers were able to see the batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita are determined to succeed.‎ ‎32. According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to_______.‎ A. travel through a scientist’s bloodstream ‎ B. photograph the body to convey to the doctor  ‎ C. enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairs ‎ D. operate on a person outside the body completely ‎ ‎33. We learn from Paragraph 3 that _______.‎ A. the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animal ‎ B. one robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnet ‎ C. digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for children ‎ D. the actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice ‎34. What may the experiment mean to the medical world?‎ A. The surgeries will cost patients much money. ‎ B. Patients will suffer less for some surgeries. ‎ C. Fewer children will swallow the button cells. ‎ D. A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels. ‎ ‎35. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?‎ A. An Experiment on Robot ‎ B. Tiny Robot, Great Researchers ‎ C. The Fantastic Robotic Voyage ‎ D. The Exploration of Robot Technology ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ People have always wanted to know what the future will look like. Then, how can we? 36 The world has changed a lot in the last 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago, such as food, sleep, the feeling of being appreciated and loved. 37 No. In addition, generally speaking, the inventions for the last 150 years have been a human effort for freedom and communication, to be able to get in control of the time and world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.‎ But why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two reasons: First, we need to start to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation. 38 ‎ How about the virtual worlds? It might be in the future to experience the sand between your toes, and hear the waves, just lying in your bed at home. 39 So, even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, it’ll never take the place of the common experience if it is not real.‎ ‎ 40 What we’ll see in the next 50 years is the transition (过渡) from an oil-dependent society to a new society. Here there’ll be new medicine, continued exploration of space, challenges in the climate change, and new inventions that make life a little easier.‎ A. So what will the future look like then?‎ B. Will this change in the next 150 years?‎ C. Predicting the future can help us in many ways.‎ D. However, you’ll never get the feeling of being there.‎ E. Well, to understand the future, you must know the past.‎ F. However, no matter how real the experience will feel, it doesn’t happen for real.‎ ‎ G.. Then we need to know what decisions we need to make that will give the best result in the future.‎ 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，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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ I fell in love with Yosemite‎ ‎National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to E1 Capitan, a 4 1 rock of 3,300 feet straight up.
