C 2018 was a good year for American farmers. Total farm earnings were estimated (估计) at 74,000 million dollars for the year. That means the average(平均的) farm income was about 71,000 dollars, or a gain of about three percent from the year before. However, the growth in earnings depended on the size of the farm. Large farms had increased earnings of six and one-half percent. Smaller farms saw growth in earnings of less than three percent. Part of American farm income came from the federal (联邦的) government. The Department of Agriculture reports that about thirty-nine percent of farmers accepted some kind of aid(援助), or subsidy(津贴) in 2017. Reports say the total amount of farm aid paid last year is estimated at 15,700 million dollars. An organization called the Environmental Working Group keeps information on all farm subsidies paid by the government. The group examined subsidies between 2008 and 2017. It says ten percent of farms received seventy-two percent of government subsidies during that nine-year period. The group says big farms that are organized as corporations (公司) or partnership businesses receive the most aid. It says the big farms receive more aid, even when they are more profitable(盈利的) than smaller family farms. Critics(评论家) say farm subsidies are costly and wasteful. Critics also note that subsidies go only to growers of widely traded crops, like corn, cotton, wheat and soybean. But many farmers, including the ones who only receive a few thousand dollars a year, support the subsidy programs. They say small farming communities in states like Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota would not survive without the aid. 8. What is the probable number of American farms? A. 10 million. B. 1 million. C. 10 thousand. D. 100 thousand. 9. Why was 2018 a good year for American farmers? A. American farmers’ earnings increased a lot in 2018. B. The federal government gave American farmers more aid in 2018. C. Big farms were organized as partnership businesses in 2018. D. The federal government reduced farmers’ taxes in 2018. 10. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Small farms will get more government aid. B. Only big farms can get the government aid. C. Only profitable farms can get the government aid. D. Farmers growing crops like corn and cotton may get the government aid easily. 11. What attitude do critics hold towards the farm subsidies? A. supportive B. indifferent C. against D. objective D What is it that makes people laugh? More than two thousand years ago the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle defined (定义) jokes as the pleasure that results from a feeling of victory by showing we’re better than someone else in a certain way. According to Aristotle and many other philosophers，all jokes depend mainly on showing inferiority in another person or group of persons — that is，putting it clearly，on showing that they are worse off than ourselves. Jokes raise our good opinion of ourselves at someone else’s expense. Showing how much better than other people is only one reason we like jokes. Someone may also use a joke to express their anger or their cruelty or any other kind of action that is not acceptable to us. We feel free to laugh when we hear about someone sliding on a banana skin. The joke lets us express those attitudes which are usually unacceptable to society. This is probably the reason why some of the jokes，especially those involving cruelty，are so popular with certain people. Besides，all jokes depend on our enjoyment of laughing at something that is strange and out of place because it’s different from things which are happening around it. The same situation can be either sad or pleasant，depending entirely on how strange and out of place it is. A good joke-teller will always try to build up a situation in which one thing is expected until something unexpected suddenly happens，and so we laugh. 12. According to Aristotle, all jokes depend mainly on ______. A. making people laugh unexpectedly B. resulting in a sense of success C. having a good opinion of other people D. showing inferiority in another person or group 13. The underlined word “inferiority” (in Paragraph 1) means ______. A. something that is unexpected B. something that is unusual C. something that is not as good as something else D. something that is better than something else 14. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Showing we are better than other people is the only one reason we like jokes. B. When people are angry, they would like to hear jokes. C. People who like jokes are usually cruel. D. To express those attitudes usually unacceptable to society is one of the reasons we like jokes. 15. What will a good joke-teller always try to do? A. Make a sad situation into a pleasant one. B. Make different things happen at the same time. C. Make an unexpected thing happen in an expected situation. D. Make people laugh at something unusual and out of place. 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。 What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? 16 . We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. 17 . Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. 18 . If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent. 19 . According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as "That was a very clever thing you did." or " 20 " A.A healthy body contributes to one’s intelligence. B. Parents should also be careful about what they say to young children. C. What people want to express is like this. D. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. E.

These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear. 第二部分：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 2 分,满分 40 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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 My Hero What does it mean to be a hero？I think a hero is someone who goes out of his way to make others happy．My hero is Mr．Wright，my chorus（合唱队） teacher． When I was 12years old，my grandparents passed away．I was really close to them，and losing them was the hardest thing I've ever had to 21 through．I couldn't eat，sleep，or think； I felt like I couldn't even breathe．It was as if my whole world had fallen down from under me，and I 22 into this huge hole of depression （抑郁）． 23 I was battling depression，I was determined to make my high school years the best of my life．It was difficult to be 24 ，but I had to try．I joined Women's Choir．Mr．Wright was the choral director and he was so funny that the first day，I just knew I had made the best 25 of my life．As the year progressed， I loved chorus more and more．I began to smile again and really enjoy 26 ．Then one day that all changed．My friends-or those that I thought were my friends-started talking about me behind my back．I was 27 ，and I sat by myself．Mr．Wright came over and asked what was wrong．The look in his eyes told me that I could 28 him．Trying hard to 29 back tears，I told him the whole story． When I finished，he nodded and told me，"If you never learn anything from me，learn this：No one is worth 30 your joy．"What Mr．Wright said really 31 a chord （心弦） in my heart．He 32 cared about me and what was going on．I'll never be able to thank him enough，because he not only saved me but has 33 every day of it since．Any time I feel like giving 34 ，I remember Mr．Wright's words and push forward． I'm proud to say that I 35 my depression ， and I'm now a senior student.
