Three novels, four collections of short stories, and three non-fiction works were published after his death.‎ Hemingway was raised in Illinois. After high school he worked for The Kansas City Star for a few months, before leaving for the Italian front to enlist in the World War I ambulance drivers, where, in 1918, he was seriously wounded and returned home. Hemingway’s experiences in wartime formed the basis for his novel A Farewell to Arms, published in 1929.‎ In 1922, he married Richardson, the first of his four wives. The couple moved to Paris, where he worked as a foreign journalist and fell under the influence of the modernist writers and artists of the 1920s called “Lost Generation”. The Sun Also Rise, Hemingway’s first novel, was published in 1926, with which he scored his first solid success.‎ ‎ Hemingway married Pauline after he divorced Richardson in 1927.

One example is “clicktivism”, a compound of “click” and “activism”. It refers to “armchair activists ” – people who support a political or social cause, but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone. And “otherize” is a verb for “other” that means to alienate (使疏远) people who are different from ourselves – whether that be different skin color, religious belief or sexuality.‎ ‎“We had all the words around Brexit in the last update and we are now starting to see all the words around Trump coming into the dictionary,” Angus Stevenson, Oxford Dictionaries’ head of content development, told The Guardian.‎ Lifestyle is also changing our language. For example, “fitspiration” – a compound of “fit” and “inspiration” – refers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy. The phrase “climate refugee” – someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate change – reflects people’s concern for the environment.‎ According to Stevenson, social media was the main source for the new expressions. “People feel much freer to coin their own words these days,” he said.‎ But still, not all newly-invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream dictionary. If you want to create your own hit words, Stevenson’s suggestion is that you should not only make sure that they are expressive and meaningful, but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them ‎ out loud.‎ ‎9. What’s the purpose of the quotation from French writer Frantz Fanon? ‎ A. To serve as the topic of the passage.‎ B. To present one of the major views of the society.‎ C. To show the fact that language mirrors the culture in a way.‎ D. To lead to the topic of the whole passage.‎ ‎10. What does the underlined word “coin” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means ?‎ A. use B. record C. create D. change ‎ ‎11. How is the article mainly developed?‎ A. By giving examples. ‎ B. By making comparisons.‎ C. By following a timeline. ‎ D. By presenting research findings.‎ ‎12. According to Stevenson, to make the words you invent popular, they should_______.‎ A. be easy to remember ‎ B. have unique and expressive meanings C. have the attractive sound ‎ D. be meaningful and sound catchy ‎ D Every Wednesday，I go to Cantata Adult Life Services，a local retirement community in Brookfield，Illinois，US，with my classmates to do community service．‎ ‎ Our visits last about an hour，and we bring 25—30 students every time．We play board games and cards with the elderly while we’re there．‎ ‎ You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about “life back then”，but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there．Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible．‎ ‎ Whether it was talking to 98-year-old “Hurricane Hilda” about her glory days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor，I was completely mesmerized by every single memory the elderly wanted to share with ‎ me．Even those who don’t have amazing memories make the experience fulfilling(充实的)．I remember visiting Mrs Robinson．She couldn’t recall much about her past，but she told me she’d never forget how kind I was just to listen to her．It made me realize that it’s the little things that make life worth living．‎ ‎ If there’s one thing I’ve realized in my three years of visiting Cantata，it’s that presence——just being there—means more than anything to many of them．And despite how busy our lives are，there’s always time to make someone’s day．‎ ‎13. Why does the author go to Cantata Adult Life Services regularly?‎ A. To play board games. ‎ B. To visit the elderly. ‎ C. To watch movies. ‎ D. To share stories. ‎ ‎14. The underlined word “mesmerized” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to“_______”. ‎ A. confused B. annoyed C. encouraged D. attracted ‎15. What may be the most important to the elderly according to the author?‎ A. Staying with them. ‎ B. The special old days. ‎ C. Showing patience. ‎ D. Amazing experiences. ‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共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。‎ The benefits of keeping a journal ‎ ‎ If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. 16 Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal. ‎ ‎◆ It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 17 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.‎ ‎◆ It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. 18 You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.‎ ‎◆ 19 After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today. ‎ ‎◆ It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. 20 In the end, you will expand your ideas.‎ A. I often experienced that myself.‎ B. It trains you to express your thoughts.‎ C. It allows you to see your progress over time.‎ D. Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.‎ E. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.‎ F. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it.‎ G. Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.‎ 第三节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ One day, when I reached my doctor’s room for post operative examination, I saw a 75-year-old person, indeed so 21 that he could not make it out that I had asked him to make some room for me to 22 .‎ But when he made out my discomfort while I was standing with my 23 foot, he offered me a place to sit.‎ Finally, I was called by my doctor after an hour’s 24 . The moment I 25 , the old man held my bag and pasted a tag on it. The tag read — "P.S. — I Love You".‎ Even 26 I could ask him, he gave me a printout that has the following text 27 on it.
