So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house. Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.‎ ‎ I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity.”‎ ‎ “What is it?” I asked.‎ ‎ “To talk, you and I” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we're going to do with ourselves now that we're in the situation we are in.”‎ ‎ “But we can't do anything about it. Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.‎ ‎ And that's how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life — from how fast things change to how they sometimes don't change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be. Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means you'll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”‎ ‎21．I wished to get out of the house because __________.‎ ‎ A. I was eager to have fun with my best friend ‎ B. I found nobody to share my feelings with ‎ ‎ C. I wanted to escape from the dark house ‎ ‎ D. I planned to tell my friend about my trouble ‎22． Grandpa was happy to see me because __________.‎ ‎ A. he could discuss the problem with me ‎ ‎ B. he had not seen me for a long lime ‎ ‎ C. he was afraid of darkness ‎ ‎ D. he felt quite lonely ‎23．What can be inferred from the passage? ‎ ‎ A. The grandchild was eager to leave. ‎ ‎ B. They would have more chats. ‎ ‎ C. The lights would go out again. ‎ ‎ D. It would no longer be dark.‎ ‎ B ‎ You get anxious if there’s no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction.‎ ‎ For some people, smart phones have set them free from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more control over their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.‎ ‎ Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app — Moment — to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”‎ ‎ Dr. Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”‎ ‎ And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr. Christine Grant.‎ ‎24．What’s the first paragraph mainly about? ‎ ‎ A. The popularity of smart phones. ‎ ‎ B. The progress of modern technology.‎ ‎ C. The signs of “always on” stress. ‎ ‎ D. The solutions of smart phone addiction.‎ ‎25． Kevin Holesh developed Moment to __________.‎ ‎ A. research how people use their mobile phones ‎ ‎ B. help people control their use of mobile phones ‎ C. make people better use mobile phones ‎ ‎ D. increase the fun of using mobile phones ‎26．What’s Dr. Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?‎ ‎ A. Confused. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.‎ ‎27． According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means __________.‎ ‎ A. we will become less productive ‎ ‎ B. we can make a decision more quickly ‎ ‎ C. we will be equipped with more knowledge ‎ ‎ D. we can work more effectively ‎ C ‎ Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed Wednesday that the socialist path China has followed is "correct," and it is the choice of the “history and people.”‎ ‎ Citing(引用) the remarkable achievements China has made over the past 37 years when it initiated the reform and opening-up policy, Xi noted that it only took several decades for China to complete the journey the developed countries have gone through for centuries.‎ ‎ “That fully shows that the Chinese people are following a correct path,” the president said while addressing a banquet hosted by Lord Mayor of the City of London Alan Yarrow on Wednesday evening.‎ ‎ Meanwhile, he pledged that China will stay committed to a peaceful development path and does not accept the logic that a country will seek hegemony(霸权，领导权) once it gets strong.‎ ‎ “No one and nothing — in any reason — can influence China’s determination and will to pursue the path of peaceful development,” he said.‎ ‎ In his speech, the president also explained in detail about the development of friendly relations between China and Britain, citing tea culture, literature, movies, TV dramas, football and cultural exchanges.‎ He specifically referred to Shakespeare’s influence on him by sharing the story of his youth time in the countryside, when he was deeply attracted by the master’s works.‎ ‎ “The China-Britain friendship has been deeply rooted in the hearts of our two peoples. And there is a solid foundation in public opinion and in society for the two countries to grow long-term relations,” he added.‎ ‎28．Where can you probably NOT find this passage?‎ ‎ A. On the website B. In a magazine ‎ ‎ C. In an essay D. In a newspaper ‎29．The underlined word “pledged” in Paragraph 4 could possibly be replaced by ___________.‎ ‎ A. predicted B. confirmed C. announced D. promised ‎30．According to this passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?‎ ‎ A. Xi mentioned tea culture to emphasize the importance of agriculture in friendship.‎ ‎ B. President Xi Jinping was very interested in Shakespeare's works when in the countryside.‎ ‎ C. The developed countries took hundreds of years to develop to the level that China is now at.‎ ‎ D. There exists a belief that China will seek hegemony once it gets strong.‎ 七选五（1*5=5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。‎ ‎ Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” 31 I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.‎ ‎ First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 32 However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.‎ ‎ 33 Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that in speaking, your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, talking to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can. Even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter. 34___．‎ ‎ The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.‎ Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主动的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 35____．‎ ‎ A. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.‎ ‎ B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.‎ ‎ C. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!‎ ‎ D. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.‎ ‎ E. The second reason lies in the reluctance （勉强）of using what has just been learned.‎ ‎ F. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.‎ ‎ G. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.‎ 三，完形填空 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。‎ ‎ It was a very cold evening.

I’d like to share with you my volunteering experience at Huainan Bagongshan Geopark. Its beautiful scenery and profound cultural background attract millions of ‎ visitors every year, and that is why I usually spend a few hours doing voluntary work there, especially at weekends, and on some special occasions, like festivals and holidays.‎ Mostly I show the way for those tourists who are not familiar with the scenic spots. Sometimes I work as a tour guide, introducing the fascination of places to them. I also help maintain order when there are too many tourists, making sure that things can run as smoothly as possible. Besides, picking up the litters left behind is also part of my work.‎ Joining the volunteer group and offering help to people who need it make me feel fulfilled as well as happy. I really hope that you can come and experience it yourself next winter holiday. ‎ Looking forward to your reply.‎ Best wishes!‎ Yours, Li hua
