We’ ve got stars on the stage and stars in the sky, and it’s all within your reach. But there’s more to Ravinia than merely the world’s greatest music. For as many people who walk through Ravinia’s gate each summer, there are just as many ways to enjoy what we call “The Ravinia Experience”.

It can be inferred that Ravinia Festival is ____________.‎ A. an annual music festival ‎ B. a celebration of old folk music C. a big food party with music performances ‎ D. a traditional holiday with music and food ‎22. What does the underlined word “stars” in the first paragraph refer to?‎ A. Big movie stars B. Famous cooks or bands ‎ C. Guests at an evening party. D. Famous musicians or singers ‎23. If you buy tickets online for the festival, you can _________.‎ A. choose where to sit ‎ B. get some discount C. decide the time of any performance ‎ D. change the date of an event after payment ‎24. If you want to experience Ravinia Festival, you can_________.‎ A. go to Chicago in April B. make a call at weekends C. go to Chicago in the summer D. visit ravinia.org before April B How to deal with waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal (处理) problem becomes increasingly difficult.‎ ‎    During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site. Residents or trash haulers (垃圾拖运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically (定期地) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.‎ ‎    Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped (倾倒) the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys (烟囱) to deal with the problem.‎ ‎    Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modem society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential (住宅区的) neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent (不存在).‎ ‎   Awareness (意识) of pollution dangers has led to more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.‎ ‎    Recycling efforts have become common place, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 per cent of a city’s reusable waste.‎ ‎25.The most suitable title for this passage would be _______.‎ A. Places for Disposing Waste B. Waste Disposal Problem C. Ways of Getting Rid of Waste D. Waste Pollution Dangers ‎26.During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for _______.‎ A. recycling it B. burying it C. burning it D. throwing it into rivers ‎27.What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?‎ A. Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society. B. There is cheap land to bury waste in modem society. C. Ways to deal with waste in modem society stay the same. D. Long-distance trash hauling is impossible.‎ ‎28.The main purpose of writing this article is to______ .‎ A. tell people a better way to get rid of the waste. B. warn people of the pollution dangers we are facing. C. call on people to take part in recycling programs. D. draw people’s attention to waste management.‎ C Nola (August 21, 1974 -November 22, 2015) was a northern white rhino（犀牛） who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 2, is to raise awareness(意识) of the less than 30,000 other rhinos left on Earth.‎ ‎“Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow,” Nola’s lead keeper Jane Kennedy said. “Last year we lost over 1,200 rhinos just in South Africa. If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.”‎ ‎“Unfortunately, most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans,” Kennedy says.“ Humans have either poached animals, or because there are over seven billion of us, we’ ve taken up too much of the world’s resources ”. Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns. They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, to be used for art, jewelry, and decorations. Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours.‎ In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell (细胞) samples from more than 8,000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers.‎ Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as “a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.”At the San Diego Zoo, children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos. But you don’ t have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day. It is observed around the world,‎ ‎ with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos, and enable them to see the animals up close. For more information, go to worldrhinoday.org.‎ ‎29. What do we know about Nola?‎ A. It was a baby white rhino.‎ B. It was one of the last of its kind.‎ C. It lived with other northern white rhinos in Kenya.‎ D. It died on September 22 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.‎ ‎30. What troubled Jane Kennedy according to Paragraph 2?‎ A. The rhinos’ uncertain future. B. The rhinos’ strange activities.‎ C. The limited natural resources. D. The rare animals in South Africa.‎ ‎31. What does the Frozen Zoo aim to do?‎ A. Invent new kinds of animals. B. Keep animals from dying out.‎ C. Prevent rhinos from being hunted. D. Raise public awareness of rhinos.‎ ‎32. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?‎ A. To help people know more about animals. ‎ B. To encourage people to protect rhinos.‎ C. To report special events in San Diego. ‎ D. To introduce World Rhino Day.‎ D I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the morning if you want to.  ‎ I know lots of women who don’t have breakfast, and they have many different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories（卡路里）, still others just don’t like breakfast food. ‎ But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight．“Eating just about anything from 300 to 1000 calories would be better than nothing at all,”says Katherine Brooking, R,‎ ‎ D, who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s“SELF CHALLENGE”．And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece．‎ ‎ Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers found that those who don’t have breakfast have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.  So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects ‎33.The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means __________‎ A. food remaining after a meal B. things left undone C. meals made of vegetables D. pizza topped with fruit ‎34.What can we infer from the text?‎ A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal D. Eating vegetables helps save energy ‎35.The text is written mainly for those__________‎ A. who go to work early B. who want to lose weight C. who stay up late ‎ D. who eat before sleep 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。‎ ‎ 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。选项中的两项为多途选项。‎ Bedrooms Bedrooms are very important. In fact, you spend one third of your life in yours. This means that you probably don’t want a boring bedroom. You will not want a bedroom full of so many ‎ things that you can’t get to your bed, or that is painted in your least favorite color. 36. ____‎ When you are designing a bedroom and you don’t know what to do with some space in the corner, you may want to see if you can fit in a desk or a small sitting area. 37  you might ‎ want to fill this space to get some more storage space or have somewhere to have some privacy(隐私).‎ Furniture is not the only thing to consider when you design your bedroom. 38..___ If you ‎ aren’t sure what to do, just keep your walls and furniture white, and make sure that little things are also in the same style.‎ ‎39.___You can put up dry erase boards, chalkboards, and pictures to give your room some style. You may also want to put in a bedside table. Those are great ways to show others some ‎ of your favorite photos and lovely toys. Finally, try to find something that adds energy and life to your bedroom. 40____‎ A. You also need to consider color.‎ B. Besides, you might have some wall space to use up.‎ C. You could also put in a bookshelf to create space.‎ D. Don’t choose a heavy, large bed for a small bedroom.‎ E. This means you will need to plan out your bedroom.‎ F. Of course, plants help a lot and they can also keep the air clean.‎ G. If you love to read in bed, a small bedside table probably won’t work.‎ 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。‎ In a land far away, once upon a time there was great poverty （贫困）,and only the rich could manage without great ___41__.
