thrill of speed． D．It serves delicious Asian food．‎ B Meet Kevin, a four-year-old Prussian Blue cat whose distinctive features make him look permanently surprised．‎ The reason for Kevin’s distinctive look is hydrocephalus．Hydrocephalus essentially means “fluid (液体) on the brain,” and Taliah told London’s Daily Telegraph & Mashable that Kevin’s sight, hearing, balance, coordination and reflexes are all impaired．Kevin is not fully blind or deaf, but his face gives the appearance that he is always surprised．‎ Tailah, a veterinary (兽医的) nurse, first met Kevin when he was a very small kitten: “A lovely lady found him in a carpark when he was around 4 weeks old and left him to the clinic,” she said. “I fell in love with him straight away and knew I had to give him a chance.”‎ ‎“I was warned that he wouldn’t live to see six months(if he was lucky) and to not become attached．I told myself that even if he passed away, I gave him all the loving I could.”‎ Kevin survived．He’s never had a seizure—one of the biggest risks for cats with hydrocephalus．‎ Tailah has even provided him with his own “personal balcony”, fitted with cat grass, a “house” and an endless supply of toys．‎ Taliah says of Kevin, “He has the best little personality.”‎ ‎“He is guaranteed to make you laugh every day,” she said. “His day-to-day activities consist of sitting in the pot plants in the garden, sleeping with his face in shoes and biting people’s feet.”‎ ‎“He is such a little love bug and a scratch between the ears is his favorite,” she said．‎ ‎24．The cat always looks surprised because ______．‎ A．everything around him surprises him B．he suffers from a kind of disease C．his life experience has made him feel so D．he was born with such a funny appearance ‎25．The underlined word “impair”

stubborn woman D．a brave nurse ‎27．What Taliah has done for Kevin proves that ______．‎ A．every little life deserves a chance B．love can defeat any kind of disease C．every effort pays off in the end D．where there is a will there is a way C Amazon has opened its first automated store to the public．Amazon Go is a grocery store located on the ground level of the corporation’s Seattle headquarters．‎ The store, which offers food, salads and boxed meals could revolutionize our shopping experience in the future．‎ As soon as you arrive at the store, a cell phone app connected to an Amazon account registers your presence．‎ Everything that happens in the store is tracked by hundreds of infrared (红外线的) cameras．When you pick up items from the shelves they are automatically put into your virtual shopping cart．The cameras ‎ also detect when you put an item back on the shelves and remove it from your cart．The moment you walk out your account is charged without making any physical payment．‎ The technologies used at Amazon Go are the same as with driverless cars—computer tracking, weight sensors on shelves and complicated algorithms (算法)．‎ The 1,800 square foot store has been open to Amazon employees for a year．Now the public can also shop there．‎ However, not everything has been running smoothly in the store’s opening year．There were hardships to overcome．‎ For example, it’s hard for cameras to distinguish between different flavours or products that look the same．They also have problems handling people who move around or identifying shoppers with similar body sizes and clothes．‎ Even though there are no checkout counters and cashiers who make you wait in line, there are shop assistants who restock goods and help customers find their way around．‎ ‎28．Which of the following can be the best title?‎ A．Shopping in a Convenience Store in the Future B．A New Way to Do Shopping in the United States C．Amazon Go—The Company’s First Automated Store D．Amazon Opens a Store in Its Seattle Headquarters ‎29．The biggest benefit for shopping in Amazon Go is ．‎ ‎ A．to pay in a safer way B．to save time and trouble ‎ C．to have a wider choice of goods D．to buy extremely cheap goods ‎30．From the last but one paragraph we can know that Amazon Go ．‎ ‎ A．is becoming more and more popular B．seems to have a less promising future ‎ C．still has much room for improvement D．has advantages over traditional stores ‎31．Shopping in Amazon Go, you ．‎ A．don’t need to pay any money at all B．will have less difficulty choosing your goods C．don’t have to visit the store in person D．will have your money paid automatically D Here’s the truth: Christmas is not everything to everyone and that’s why we needn’t panic when the Christmas tree pretzels (椒盐饼干) become holiday pretzels or when someone wishes us “happy holidays” instead of “merry Christmas”. There’s already plenty of Christmas to go around．I promise that no one is overlooking your religion and you’re not going to miss out on anything if someone offers up some “seasons greetings”．On the contrary, that someone is attempting to include all of the other holidays that we so often neglect, like Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Mawlid, or Rohatsu．Oh, and Festivus for the rest of us; I’ve got a real problem with the “War on Christmas”, and now you’re going to hear about it．‎ The bottom line is that there is no war on Christmas as President Donald Trump or Bill O’Reilly would like you to think．In reality, there’s a war on ignorance, which includes blanketing the entire country in only red and green for the entirety of December every year．We need some nice accent colors if the American aesthetic (审美观) is really going to pop．‎ For me, going to a Catholic church on Christmas Eve is intrinsic (本质的) to my celebration of the holiday．With that being said, I would never be offended if I was wished a “happy holiday”, or even “happy Hanukkah”．I’d actually be quite honoured that someone from another religion was wishing me well in a way that means the most to them．‎ I love a good “merry Christmas” too．See, the “War on Christmas” calls for 100 percent Christmas and assumes anything less is a crime．In reality, we should all say what feels most authentic to us because basically your inflection (音调变化) and intention means a lot more than word choice．We, as Americans, have to stay true to ourselves and to our country, which just happens to be one of the most diverse in the world．‎ With all this being said, happy goddamn holidays and merry Christmas, everyone．‎ ‎32．The writer thinks people ．‎ A．must mark Christmas according to their birthplaces B．should keep Christmas only in the traditional way C．have to observe Christmas according to their religion D．can celebrate Christmas in their own favorite way ‎33．In the second paragraph when the writer says “blanketing the entire country in only red and green for the entirety of December every year”, he actually means ．‎ A．celebrating Christmas in a colorful way B．making preparations for the coming winter C．celebrating Christmas in the same way D．making decorations for the New Year ‎34．The writer would if someone said “Happy Kwanzaa” at Christmas．‎ A．never mind at all B．become disappointed C．feel angry immediately D．appreciate it more ‎35．“War on Christmas” is intended to ．‎ A．prevent people committing crimes at Christmas B．fight for the traditional meaning of Christmas C．encourage more people to observe Christmas D．spread the knowledge of Christmas nationwide 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。‎ Feel like you’re working hard but still can’t reach your study goals? Here are some quick tips to help you make the most out of study time．‎ ‎1． Study in groups, and peer teach．‎ Group studying helps you to engage and process the information more deeply． 36 Have fun with it．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 the information with someone else not only helps you to learn, but makes studying more enjoyable． 37 ‎ ‎2． 38 ‎ Find ways to connect what you are learning to real life or to other related concepts．It’s harder to remember each piece of a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture．Find ways to relate pieces of information to each other and put them together．‎ ‎3． Feed your brain．‎ A hungry brain is an ineffective one．Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going． 39 ‎ ‎4． Take breaks．‎ ‎ 40 It needs exercise to make it stronger, but it can also tire if you overwork it．Imagine that each minute of studying is a push-up and you have to complete 100．If you try to do them all at once, you’ll tire yourself to the point where you can’t continue．‎ A．Paint bigger pictures．‎ B．Your brain is like a muscle．‎ C．Step into your teacher’s shoes．‎ D．Just avoid turning your sessions into social hour．‎ E．Because of this, what you eat and drink also play a huge role in how sharp your brain is．‎ F．You can try to pound the information in after studying non-stop for an hour, but learn little．‎ G．Of course, it means more than just carpooling (拼车) to the library and studying with your headphones on．‎ 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 arrived at the address and honked the horn (鸣笛)．After waiting a few minutes, I honked again．After a long 41 , the door opened．A small woman in her 90s stood before me．‎ When we got in the taxi, she gave me a(n) 42 and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?” “It’s not the shortest way,” I answered 43 ．“I don’t mind．I don’t have any family left”, she continued in a soft voice．“The doctor says I don’t have 44 .” I quietly reached over and 45 the meter (计价器)．‎ For the 46 two hours, we drove through the city, stopping at many places she could remember．As the first hint of sun was appearing above the horizon, she 47 said, “I’m 48 ．Let’s go now”．We drove in silence to the address she had given me．When we finally arrived at the hospice (临终关怀医院), two orderlies (护理员) came out．I took her small suitcase to the door．‎ ‎“How much do I 49 you?” She asked, 50 into her purse．“Nothing,” I said．“You have to make a 51 ,” she answered．“There are 52 passengers,” I responded．I 53 and gave her a hug．Then I walked into the dim morning light．‎ Behind me, a door shut．It was the sound of the closing of a 54 ．What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was 55 to end his shift (轮班)? What if I had 56 to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away? On a quick 57 , I don’t think that I have done anything more 58 in my life．We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments．But great moments often catch us unaware— 59 wrapped in what others may consider a 60 one．‎ ‎41．A．look B．pause C．rest D．try ‎42．A．check B．envelope C．address D．note ‎43．A．quickly B．excitedly C．rudely D．angrily ‎44．A．trouble B．fun C．much D．long ‎45．A．took away B．shut off C．turned on Dslowed down ‎46．A．next B．boring C．mysterious D．last ‎47．A．forcefully B．fearfully C．suddenly D．secretly ‎48．A．worried B．sorry C．busy D．tired ‎49．A．admire B．owe C．award D．save ‎50．A．reaching B．dropping C．slipping D．falling ‎51．A．decision B．living C．promise D．fortune ‎52．A．young B．some C．other D．rich ‎53．A．hesitated B．clapped C．rose D．bent ‎54．A．life B．window C．box D．business ‎55．A．unwilling B．impolite C．impatient D．disappointed ‎56．A．waited B．refused C．expected D．asked ‎57．A．answer B．calculation C．guess D．review ‎58．A．important B．careful C．urgent D．interesting ‎59．A．hurriedly B．immediately C．beautifully D．purposely ‎60．A．right B．small C．valuable D．short 第Ⅱ卷 注意：将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ For the first time in history, China 61 (overtake) the United States in the number of supercomputers．Presently, China has 62 total of 202 of the world’s 500 fastest computers, up from 159 half a year ago．The number of US supercomputers has dropped to 144．‎ The world’s 63 (powerful) computer is located in China．The Sunway  TaihuLight,  at Wuxi can do 93 quadrillion calculations per second．The fastest US computer, the Titan, is ranked fifth 64 Europe’s speediest computer isSwitzerland’s Piz Daint, ranked third．‎ Supercomputers are machines that occupy entire 65 (building) and use the combined power of thousands of processors．They 66 (use) to carry out special tasks that involve a huge number of calculations．Among them are weather forecasts and climate studies, as well as strategic tasks like nuclear weapons simulations (模拟)．‎ China’s highest position in the world of supercomputing reflects the country’s investment in research and 67 ‎ ‎(develop)．One-fifth 68 the money used on these fields around the world is spent in China．‎ On the other side, many Chinese systems have been created 69 (earn) money．Processing power is  rented to other national and international companies．‎ For years the speed of supercomputers has 70 (steady) increased although since 2012 this increase has slowed down．‎ 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用(＼)划掉。修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ ‎2．只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。‎ There have many reasons for WeChat (微信) to be known．To begin with it, WeChat is a relative cheap way of communication.
