Take Project 211, a program created in 1995 to bring 100 Chinese universities up to a world-class standard. Similarly, in 1999 Project 985 got started to produce more top universities. To further improve the global position of Chinese education, in 2009 the C9 League was also created, hoping to be an eastern equal to the US Ivy League (常春藤联盟).‎ Germany Germany offers a menu of educational choice from smaller but high-quality institutions to some most famous universities in Western Europe. Similarly, the country serves up plenty of cultural experiences from the lively capital streets to the characteristic towns and villages. Germany also creates many scholarships to help international students afford their tuition fees (学费).‎ Italy Italy has some of the world’s most respected learning institutes including the University of Bologna, believed to be the world’s oldest university. There are more UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) Sites in Italy than in any other nation in the world. These attractions, alongside Italy’s world-famous food and endless culture make it among the world’s most visited countries each year.‎ Poland Over years, Poland’s universities have produced some of the world’s most famous thinkers and scientists, such as Marie Curie and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. Poland also provides many private and public education to both Polish students and international students.‎ ‎1．For what purpose has China created some projects?‎ A．To offer free education to the public.

B．Germany. C．Italy. D．Poland.‎ B A letter to the editor complained about someone stringing toilet paper on their trees. That letter brought a flood of responses defending this act as being harmless to friends: “ It's an honor to get toilet papered", said one writer, “and good fun for teenagers."‎ Reading these letters brought me chuckles (轻声笑)and then tears as they woke old memories of my mother’s ninety-second year. She was seriously ill that autumn. And I watched, powerless.‎ A decade before, I helped her break out of the nursing home. It was a fine place with a caring staff. But Mom didn't want skilled care: she wanted to live on her own and just needed some assistance to do so. Being in a more restrictive environment than necessary was bad for her condition. The risk paid off, and I was rewarded by seeing my mother once again enjoying her life.‎ Ten years later, Mom's health declined, and my care-giving duties increased. One evening, for some unexplainable reason, I invited my mother to go toilet papering!‎ This outing would push my mother to her physical limits. Was I making a mistake? Secretly we went to my brother's home. In his backyard, I handed Mom a roll of toilet paper. Without hesitation she shot it skyward...‎ Mom papered a dozen trees in four family yards that unforgettable evening. The day after our big adventure, Mom and I sent a card to each of our victim, signed “From your decorators". We laughed all the way home from the post office, like two schoolgirls.‎ My mother's last year was marked by physical decline. However, we shared some simple fun each day. Those light-hearted moments were like a salve (慰藉)，and they are the ones I'll always remember. Toilet papering has taught us that play is powerful medicine!‎ ‎4．Why did the author cry when reading the letter?‎ A．She was blamed for toilet papering.‎ B．It brought her childhood memory.‎ C．She thought of her sick mother.‎ D．It was very stressful.‎ ‎5．The author helped her leave the nursing home in order that ____.‎ A．Mom could enjoy a free life B．Mom could get more skilled home care C．the nursing cost could be cut down D．they could avoid taking risk ‎6．What can we learn from the mother's experience of toilet papering?‎ A．They did some damage to four family yards.‎ B．They were made to apologize for their mistakes.‎ C．Toilet papering made her illness worsened.‎ D．Toilet papering brought them much pleasure.‎ ‎7．What would be the best title for the text?‎ A．A Letter of Complaint B．Love Between Daughter and Mother C．The Curing Power of Toilet Papering.‎ D．An Unforgettable Evening in Family Yards C The victims were carried in one by one, their paws burned and fur burnt, suffering from dehydration (脱水) and fear. Their caretakers bandaged (用绷带包扎) their wounds and laid them in baskets with the only thing that was familiar — the leaves of a eucalyptus (桉树) tree. As fires have burned more than two million acres in Australia, dozens of koalas have been rescued from burned trees and pale ground. The animals are being treated in rescue centers, and at least one private home, along the country’s east coast.‎ The difficult situation of the koala — a national symbol of Australia — has raised questions among environmentalists and scientists about what it will take to protect biodiversity (生物多样性) in a country with intense fire, extreme heat and lack of water. Australia has already been among the highest rates of species extinction in the world.‎ The bad situation goes beyond koalas. Recently, tens of thousands of bats fell from the sky in temperatures over 107 degrees Fahrenheit in northern Australia. Kangaroos destroyed the grapes in Canberra because of drought.‎ ‎“Climate change and other human impacts have so changed the situation that the government needs to rethink its way to protect at once,” Dr. Bowman said, suggesting interventions (干预) like irrigating, feeding and moving animals to new places.‎ Koalas, unlike kangaroos, birds or snakes, do not escape from fires. Therefore, though the fires are still burning, a rescue team began to search the area carefully. Walking in a human chain, they looked up to the tree top, searching for survivors.‎ ‎8．What do the victims in the first paragraph refer to?‎ A．Animals injured in fires.‎ B．Kangaroos driven by drought.‎ C．Bats that fell from the sky.‎ D．Koalas rescued from the fire.‎ ‎9．Which of the following may cause the extinction of wildlife?‎ A．Wildfires that seldom happened.‎ B．Extreme hot weather in Australia.‎ C．The never-changing climate in Australia.‎ D．Not having enough money to take measures in Australia.‎ ‎10．What can we draw from Dr. Bowman?‎ A．Human activities have little influence on animals.‎ B．The government should take immediate action.‎ C．The government does not care about the wild animals.‎ D．Scientists are concerned about the bad situation of wildlife.‎ ‎11．What’s the best title for the text?‎ A．Saving the Fire Victims Who Cannot Escape: Australia’s Koalas B．Saving the Endangered Wild Animals in Australia C．Actions Needed to Protect Habitat for Koalas D．National Symbol of Australia Needs Rescue D Teenagers’ fitness is now a major concern, and physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientist Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: “First, you need to find out your present level of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier.”‎ Dr. Lopez suggests that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. “Overweight” means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem. “Inactive” means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.‎ According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should work out to keep healthy. “Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories.” Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. “Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger,” Dr. Lopez said. The same rule applies to (适用于) active teenagers.‎ Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities.‎ ‎“These are really important in order to prevent injuries,” Dr. Lopez said. Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person’s strength.‎ ‎12．What can we learn from the passage?‎ A．Active people always have a high fitness level.‎ B．Overweight people always take more exercise.‎ C．Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweight.‎ D．Keeping fit means changing teenagers’ lifestyle.‎ ‎13．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?‎ A．Physical exercise can make the teenagers grow taller.‎ B．Physical exercise can help teenagers become healthier.‎ C．Physical exercise can help to burn up calories.‎ D．Physical exercise can increase teenagers’ strength.‎ ‎14．What exercise should people do in order to prevent injuries?‎ A．Walking.‎ B．Stretching and bending.‎ C．Riding.‎ D．Weight training.‎ ‎15．What is the best title for the passage?‎ A．Doing Exercise B．Teenagers’ Fitness C．Different Lifestyles D．Overweight Teenagers ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分,共10分）‎ 根据短文内容,从短文后的七个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。‎ Food pictures that you display on WeChat can look more stylish if you follow our tips.16．‎ ‎※ Styling accompanied by a story ‎17． Some might want to tell about the person who is eating the dish. Whether it’s your first meal at a Chinese restaurant or a birthday party at a cozy cafeteria, describe the surroundings and background as well as the reason that made you choose the food in the picture.‎ ‎※ Choose natural lighting Flash is not as flattering as natural light. The latter makes pictures look much better. The only problem is that you can hardly find natural light in bars, cafes and restaurants. 18． If you are having your lunch or dinner outside, remember to find a place with shadow since direct sunlight casts shadows on food and other items.‎ ‎※ Pick your angle(视角)‎ Choose the right angle. One of the best positions is shooting from the top down. This is how you’ll show the whole table. You might sometimes need to climb on a chair to take that perfect shot! 19． You may try and hold your dish out in front of you. Do not hesitate to ask a random ‎ person to stand behind you and take the shot for you. Vertical pictures are also worth your attention.‎ ‎※20．‎ Use various filters(滤镜) to keep your shots more attractive. But don’t be restricted by them.

There was a time I thought I’d never go even if the opportunity 21 . But now I feel 22 for people who don’t go.‎ I went to the 23 of my high school on a Saturday evening, and I am glad I did. It was a gift to recognize some 24 classmates right away — and to be recognized. 25 , we had name tags and our 26 photos on our clothing to help identify us.

Unfortunately, we had a falling out in the high school. I never saw her after 28 , but this time, I saw her name on a place setting. At first, I feared that I would 29 her. But my better self won over, and I 30 her out. I kept looking until I got a(n) 31 on my shoulder. There she was 32 . We hugged as if nothing had ever 33 and exchanged affectionate words. When the party 34 , my old-new friend walked towards me, 35 me again and wished me well. I returned her good wishes. All the bad 36 melted into thin air.‎ I am grateful I had this 37 to reunite with old classmates. After all, we are almost 38 the final lap of our lifelong journeys. Some classmates had already left this 39 , and their names were deleted from the list. Sometimes we have to walk back into the past because time does heal old wounds. We’re not the 40 people.
