It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant, damaging eyesight, judgment and coordination (协调), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected.‎ Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.‎ The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is：‎ ‎●50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or ‎●22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or ‎●67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine．‎ Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.‎ Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 drivingoffence points; or temporarily banned from driving.‎ The same punishment applies to failing to provide samples for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.‎ Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.‎ ‎21. The first paragraph is mainly about________.‎ A. the introduction of driving skills B. the damage of drinking to your body C. the effect of drinking on driving D. the process of alcohol being absorbed ‎22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.‎ B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.‎ C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.‎ D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit.‎ ‎23. A driver suspected of drink driving ________.‎ A. should provide specimens for testing ‎ B. will be forbidden to drive for 3 years C. will be punished for 10 drivingoffence points D. should pay a maximum fine of HK $25,000‎ B These days, young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media.‎ Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post: “David Bowie dying is totes tradge,” and “When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh.” Or this sentence: “BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight.”‎ What on earth do they mean? Well, “totes” is a short form of “totally.” Similarly, “tradge” means “tragic” and “emosh” means “emotional”. It seems that, for millennials, typing in this form is ‎ not only time-saving but fashionable.‎ As you can see, many millennial slangs (俚语) are formed by so-called “totesing”---the systematic abbreviation (缩写) of words. The trend might have started with “totally” becoming “totes”, but it now has spread to many other English words.‎ The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than “totesing”. “Bae”, for example, has been widely used by African-Americans for years. It can be an expression of closeness with one’s romantic partner or, like “sweetheart”, for someone without romantic connection. After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, “bae” became mainstream.‎ Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language, but Melbourne University linguist Rosey Billington doesn’t agree. “When you are able to use a language in a creative way, you show that you know the language rules well enough to use words in a different way,” Billiongton says in an interview with News.com.au. Her view is echoed by two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones. The two analysed hundreds of examples of totes-speak and discovered totesing has remarkably complex roots. ‎ Totes-speak isn’t simply an adult version of baby talk, nor is it a clever way to minimize your word number. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a speaker’s mastery of English pronunciation. It has strict rules to follow.‎ ‎24. What does the underlined word “echoed” mean in the 6th paragraph?‎ A. disagreed. B. refused. C. shared. D. challenged. ‎ ‎25. What’s the author’s purpose of mentioning “Bae” in Paragraph 5?‎ A. To support that totesing is no baby talk.‎ B. To analyse the usage of millennial slangs.‎ C. To inform people how it became mainstream.‎ D. To explain the complex origins of millennial slangs.‎ ‎26. Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with?‎ A. Totesing is a loosely organized system.‎ B. Millennial slangs lower the value of English.‎ C. It’s simply a clever way to reduce the word count.‎ D. Totes-speak requires a good command of English.‎ ‎27. What’s the best title of the passage?‎ A. E-slangs Catch on Among Youth B. Linguists Disapprove of Totesing C. Millennial Slangs Take the Lead D. English Has Greatly Changed C In June 2014, Huffington Post and Mail Online reported that three-year-old Victoria Wilcher, who had suffered facial scarring, had been kicked out of a KFC because she was frightening customers. Later, KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures.‎ Brooke Binkowski, an editor, says that, during her career, she has seen a shift towards fewer editorial regulations in newsrooms. “Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this, but a lot of them are.”‎ Asked what the driving factor was, a journalist said, “You’ve an editor breathing down your neck and you have to meet your targets. And there are some young journalists on the market who are inexperienced and who will not do those checks. So much news that is reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someone’s door. You just sit at your desk and do it.”‎ Another journalist says, “There is definitely pressure to publish stories without fact-checking in order to get clicks, because they equal money. At my former employer in particular, the pressure was on due to the limited resources. That made the environment quite horrible to work in.”‎ In a February 2015 report for Digital Journalism, Craig Silverman wrote, “Today the level for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours, a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that is repeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. Once a certain critical mass is reached, repetition has a powerful effect on belief.” ‎ And, despite the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more, not less important, according to the New York Times’ public editor, Margaret Sullivan. “Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. It’s extremely important to question and to use every verification (验证) method available before publication.” Yet those ‎ working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated because, in the words of some senior editors, “a click is a click, regardless of the advantage of a story”. And, “if the story does turn out to be false, it’s simply a chance for another bite at the cherry.”‎ Verification and fact-checking are regularly falling victim to the pressure to bring in the numbers, and if the only result of being caught out is another chance to bring in the clicks, that looks unlikely to change. ‎ ‎28. According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because ________.‎ A. clicks matter a lot B. resources are limited ‎ C. budgets are not enough D. journalists lack experience ‎29. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean?‎ A. Lies can’t sell without an atom of truth.‎ B. Rumors are like a flame blown by the wind.‎ C. You can hear rumors, but you can’t know them.‎ D. A lie, repeated often enough, will end up as truth.‎ ‎30. What’s Margaret Sullivan’s attitude towards false news online?‎ A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral.‎ ‎31. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. Consequences of false stories. B. Causes of online false news.‎ C. Importance of qualified journalists. D. A craze to get clicks.‎ D ‎“If we can set it up so you can’t unlock your phone unless you’ve got the right fingerprint,” Barack Obama asked last Tuesday, “why can’t we do the same thing for our guns?” For this reasonable-sounding question, the president was praised throughout the media.‎ As it happens, though, there is a good answer to this question: there is no market for guns that work just some of the time. Guns are simple things designed to operate as easily and reliably as possible. The introduction of electronics eats away this simplicity, and to a degree that is absolutely unacceptable to the consumer. As President Obama well knows, the fingerprint software on his phone works rather erratically: Often it takes a user two or three tries to log in; occasionally, it falls asleep deeply and obeys the password. When this happens on a phone, the user is mildly ‎ inconvenienced. If this were to happen on a gun, the user would be dead. There is a reason that modern smartphones put the camera function outside of the authentication (认证) process.‎ How could we possibly think that guns are the same as other commercial products? It is true that, say, cars have become considerably safer over the last few decades; true, too, that “research” has contributed to this improvement. But it matters enormously that a car is not intended to hurt people, and that in a perfect world nobody would ever be injured by one. Can we say the same of guns? Of course not. Guns are killing machines, designed to do damage to living things. In fact, they have no other purpose. As such, the basic question before any free people is not “are guns dangerous?” they are, but “who gets them, and why?”‎ This is not to say that nothing at all can be done to improve public safety. On an individual level, gun owners should do everything to ensure that their guns are kept away from children, and, where possible, they should train themselves in case they are ever called upon to shoot in anger. At the national level, the combination of better policing and economic growth can help to reduce crime — and, indeed, it has. In 1993, gun crime was more than twice as common as it is now, and there were fewer guns in circulation. Unpleasant as it is in its own right, that we have reached the point at which two-thirds of all guns-related deaths are deliberately self-inflicted is a small victory. ‎ How to deal with those deaths that remain? That is a tricky one. I do not know the answer, and nor, frankly, does anybody else. But selling fantasies to the ignorant is not going to cut it. ‎ ‎32. What does the writer mainly argue in this passage? ‎ A. Gun crime has been greatly reduced. ‎ B. The idea of smart guns is not realistic.‎ C. Gun control will not succeed in America. ‎ D. Guns-related deaths deserve public attention.‎ ‎33. The underlined word “erratically” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.‎ A. with effectiveness B. with passion and energy C. in an unpredictable manner D. in a reasonable and fair way ‎ ‎34. The writer supports his ideas in Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly by ________. ‎ ‎ A. analyzing statistics B. presenting problems and solutions ‎ C. quoting the authorities D. making comparisons and contrasts ‎ ‎35. Which of the following might the writer NOT agree with? ‎ A. Few know how to deal with guns-related deaths. ‎ B. Efforts to improve public safety have partly paid off. ‎ C. The nature of guns makes them different from other products.‎ D. Guns using fingerprint software can risk the lives of the users.‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a lot. 36 Ideas about social class – whether a person’s “working-class” or “middle-class” – are one area where changes have been slow.‎ In the past, the working-class people were often paid less than middle-class people. On Friday evenings, they would be paid, leave some money for “housekeeping”, go out and then spend the rest on beer.‎ For a middle-class man, he considered not only buying a house but also the education of his children as important. 37 Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity to make such long-term plans.‎ ‎ 38 In many cases factory workers earn as much as their middle–class managers. Modern society has made it less necessary than before to worry about “tomorrow”. Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority (自卑感). In fact, in the past few years, the middle-classes have had the feeling of inferiority.‎ ‎ 39 They generally share similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money having fun, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than before. 40 As long as this difference remains, there will probably be new conflicts or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.‎ A. Nowadays, a great deal has changed.‎ B. Both made him and his family comfortable.‎ C. Therefore, difference in lifestyles appeared.‎ D. In some ways, however, very little has changed in some parts of society. ‎ E. However, there’s still much difference between the well-paid and the low-paid.‎ F. In recent years, the working–class people have begun to design long–term plans.‎ G. The change in lifestyles is probably most easily seen among younger people. ‎ 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, 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。‎ Reg Foggerdy, 62, who managed to survive by eating ants while lost for six days without water in Western Australia, says he thought he was going to die in the wilderness.‎ ‎“I was on a hunting trip in the Great Victoria Desert when I set 41 in pursuit of a camel I’d shot. I followed this camel into the 42 . I’d gone at least 30km. I didn’t know where I was,” he told CNN Network, giving a(an) 43 of his wrong 19 – mile wander and extraordinary tale of survival that followed.‎ Foggerdy found himself alone with only a T-shirt, and the shorts he was wearing. He had a valuable source of food 44 in front of him---the dead camel he’d 45 down but no means with 46 to eat it.‎ ‎“I didn’t have a knife, and I didn’t have matches for a fire,” he said. “So I couldn’t go and 47 a steak off the animal.”‎ In the 48 , he turned to ants for 49 , an idea he remembered from watching TV shows of British survival expert Bear Grylls. “They tasted quite good. The first day, I ate probably 12 ants---and the following day, I had 18,” Foggerdy said.‎ ‎ 50 , as time passed, there was a 51 hope that he could 52 it out of the desert alive. He saw search helicopters passing overhead, but they didn’t notice him because the bush is so 53 .‎ By the sixth day, his organs had started to shut down. He had said his last goodbyes in his head and 54 death to come soon. ‎ ‎“I was at peace with myself,” he said, 55 tears as he remembered the thought of his family seeing his body lying on the dirt in the bush.‎ But as Goggerdy 56 for the end, searchers were hot on his trail after a tracker 57 one of his footprints in the dirt. ‎ ‎“When I opened my eyes and saw the searchers, I was so happy,” Foggerdy 58 . “I’ve heard of people dying after three days with no water, but I don’t know 59 I survived six days. I don’t think I was 60 --- just lucky. ” ‎ ‎41. A. about B. in C. up D. off ‎ ‎42. A. bush B. dirt C. desert D. wilderness ‎43. A. paper B. record C. account D. explanation ‎44.

(10) How was your night?‎ M: It was good. We went to dinner and a movie. It’s great to have a night to ourselves every week. We really appreciate you coming to take care of Brianna. (10) It’s wonderful to know our daughter is in such good hands. How much do we owe you?‎ W: Sixty dollars.‎ M: Here you go. Thank you so much again. Would you like me to walk you out?‎ W: No, I’ll be fine. I’ll see you at the same time next week! (9)‎ Text 8 ‎ M: I’m looking into getting a GoPro camera. What kind do you think I should buy?‎ W: It depends on what you want to do with it. What will you be filming?‎ M: I do a lot of open-water swimming, and I want to film my trips. (11)‎ W: This one is the Hero4. (12) It has a long battery life and can connect to Wi-Fi. The camera isn’t totally waterproof, though, so you need to buy a separate case.‎ M: What colors is it available in?‎ GoPro：极限运动专业相机。它是一款小型可携带固定式防水防震相机。通过这种相机，极限运动爱好者可以在高速状态下录下自己矫健的身姿。‎ W: Black and green. The black one can shoot high-quality video, but the green one has a touch screen. (12) We also have the Hero4 Session, which is much smaller and lighter. It has a built-in battery, though, so you have to switch batteries when it runs out. The good thing about the Hero4 Session is that it’s totally waterproof and doesn’t need a separate case. (13)‎ M: Can I try that one out?‎ W: Sure. ‎ Text 9 ‎ M: Hi, Mary, it’s Steve calling. Is this a bad time?‎ W: No, this is fine. I’m just about to put Sara to bed, but she can stay up a while longer while I talk. It’s great to hear from you! How are you?‎ M: I’m great. And yourself?‎ W: I’m well, thanks. I was so surprised to see you in the grocery store the other day. It’s so wonderful to hear your voice after all these years. (14)‎ M: I know. I’m so happy we ran into each other. I’m calling to invite you over for dinner next week like we talked about. (15) Does Monday or Tuesday night work?‎ W: Monday and Tuesday are pretty busy, so Wednesday is best, actually. Is that okay? (15)‎ M: Sure. (15)‎ W: Can Mark and the kids come? (16)‎ M: Of course! Your husband and children are always welcome. I’ll make a pasta dish. Why don’t you bring a salad? (17)‎ W: Sure. (17)‎ M: Does anyone have any food issues?‎ W: Yes, actually. Alex can’t have dairy. (16)‎ M: Oh, too bad. I was planning on serving ice cream for dessert. (17)‎ W: That’s fine. I’ll bring him something else that he can eat. (17) What time should we come over?‎ M: Around seven would be perfect.‎ Text 10‎ Spike Aerospace is a company based in Boston, Massachusetts. (18) It makes aircrafts that are something out of a science fiction novel. The company says that its S-512 Supersonic Business Jet can fly from New York to London in just 3 hours. They claim that the jet can reach a maximum speed of 1370 miles per hour, which is 1.8 times faster than the speed of sound. Now, passengers might be able to fly all over the world for a simple day trip and still be back home by bedtime! Although it was first introduced in a 2013 research paper, the plane has ‎ undergone some important changes that have made its actual production possible. The newly designed “delta” wings are how the plane is able to travel so fast, (19) as their shape makes the jet lighter and better able to cut through pockets of warm air. The inside of the plane is called the “Multiplex Cabin”, and instead of windows for passengers to look out of, small cameras show images on thin screens on the wall. This means you can watch whatever you want, whenever you want! Not just anyone will be able to fly on the S-512, though, as it will likely cost around $80 million for a single round trip. (20) Spike Aerospace is set to start offering its service to the public in December of 2018. The waiting list has already grown to over one hundred names, with each person having paid a deposit of ten percent of the total!‎
