He has Alzhemier’s—a degenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. I thought I was prepared to see him. I knew chances were slim that he'd actually recognize me.‎ He didn’t. As a matter of fact, he had no idea that he even had grandchildren. But he was excited that somebody came to visit him. I tried to explain to him who I was. But after he told me multiple times that he didn’t have grandchildren, I gave up. And my heart broke into a million little pieces.‎ I was tired of explaining things to him. So I just smiled. He smiled back. It's a genuine smile. Like a long time ago, when he’d take me by the hand and made this big world a little bit less scary for me. Now I have to take his hand.‎ We sat in silence for a little while, before he told me to call my grandma. This was the first time I had tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandma died four years ago and he didn't remember. He thought she was stuck on her way to pick him up.‎ My grandpa used to be a strong, hard-working man. He was the person you turned to when you needed your car fixed, your tires changed or something heavy to be carried. Sadly, that man left this world a long time ago, and left behind a man that is lost and scared.‎ I want to help him. I want to make him feel better. I want to tell him about his old life, and how great it was. So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes. I told him that my grandma was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water.‎ I can’t take away his pain. I can’t help him remember. I can’t make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on to the memories—hold on for both of us.‎ ‎24. When the author first saw her grandpa in hospital, ________________.‎ A. she gave up on him B. they were both excited C. he didn’t recognize her D. they talked about the past ‎25. The author was close to tears because ________________.‎ A. grandma died about four years ago B. grandpa needed to be taken care of C. grandma didn’t make it to the hospital D. grandpa believed grandma was still alive ‎26. Which of the following best describe the author?‎ A. Tolerant and merciful. B. Considerate and patient.‎ C. Warm-hearted and grateful. D. Strong-minded and generous.‎ ‎27. The author wrote this passage to _________________.‎ A. show pity towards her grandpa B. record memories of her grandpa C. express deep love for her grandpa D. call on further study on Alzheimer’s C One day, gardeners might not just hear the buzz of bees among their flowers, but the whirr of robots, too. Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone (无人机) into a remote-controlled pollinator (授粉媒介) by attaching horsehairs coated with a special, sticky gel(凝胶) to its underbelly(下腹部).‎ Animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Chief among those are bees — but many bee populations in the United States have been in sharp decline in recent decades. Thus, the decline of bees isn't just worrisome because it could damage ecosystems, but also because it could disrupt agriculture and economy. People have been trying to come up with replacement techniques, but none of them are especially effective yet.‎ Scientists have thought about using drones, but they haven't figured out how to make free-flying robot insects that can rely on their own power source without being attached to a wire. “It’s very tough work,” said senior author Eijiro Miyako, a chemist at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. His particular contribution to the field involves a gel, one he’d considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet(储物柜). When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t dried up or degraded at all. “I was so surprised because it still had high viscosity,” Miyako said.‎ The chemist noticed that when dropped, the gel absorbed an impressive amount of dust from the floor. Miyako realized this material could be very useful for picking up pollen (花粉). He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to copy a bee’s fuzzy body. They coated those horsehairs in the gel, and then controlled the drones over lilies, where they would pick up the pollen from one flower and then deposit the pollen at another one, thus fertilizing it.‎ The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.‎ Miyako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether, but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties. There’s a lot of work to be done before that's a reality, however. Small drones will need to become more controllable and energy efficient, as well as smarter, with better GPS and artificial intelligence.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word “viscosity” in Para.3 probably mean?‎ A. hardness. B. stickiness. C. flexibility. D. purity.‎ ‎29. We can learn from the passage that ______.‎ A. bees disrupt both agriculture and economy B. scientists have invented self-powered robot insects C. bees in the United States are dying out.‎ D. Miyako found the special feature of the gel by chance ‎30. A drone works best in picking up pollen when ______.‎ A. its body is made like a bee’s ‎ B. its GPS works more efficiently C. some flowers are coated with the gel D. horsehairs with the gel are attached to it ‎31. According to Eijiro Miyako, the drones ______.‎ A. are not yet ready for practical use B. may eventually replace bees in the future C. are much more efficient than bee pollinators D. can provide a solution to economic depression D The Commonwealth games have meant that the eyes of the world have been focused on our fair city-Melbourne. And it would look pretty good, wouldn't it? And what better way to regain our title as world's most livable city? I'm told that we recently lost the right to say this to foreign friends proudly when the international list was re-examined and we slipped to the fourth place.‎ It's hard to see how Melbourne could have lost its crown (桂冠) when you look at what it has to offer. 24 hours Coles, free transport for drunks on New Year's Eve, a new freeway, it's all here.‎ The first focus for the international press will obviously be the endless stadiums dotted around the city. But as well as being full every other weekend, these great places often play host to slightly older kids. At Rod Laver, even the olds get a look-in as the Christian evangelical (教会的) road show rolls into town once a year for a night of stadium worship (崇拜).‎ Another pleasure Melbourne enjoys is that it's very easy to get around. There's a bit of a squeeze during rush hour for sure, but nothing like Bangkok, where the journey home can take longer than growing a beard and parking is barely distinguishable from the drive itself. Driving here is a piece of cake. It must be because the wise people who hand out the taxis seem to actively encourage a career behind the wheel within 24 hours of landing in the country as an educational tool for getting to know the city. No slowing down for learning bends, just go, go, go!‎ As for the social life, with over 40 million bars in Melbourne's CBD alone, we have plenty of places for spectators to celebrate national victory, making this town as good as any and it happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.‎ Unfortunately, the athletes themselves don't get to smell the roses to the same degree. But the rest of the world will know that this is the place to be. The most livable city in the world. By far the easiest place on earth to cheat death, which is essentially what we're talking about.‎ ‎32. In Paragraph 1 and 2 the author is wondering ________________.‎ A. how Melbourne has fallen behind B. when the international list was re-examined C. what they should do to regain the world's focus D. whether Melbourne can offer greater convenience ‎33. What does the author mainly want to show in the passage?‎ A. The casual life styles of Melbourne.‎ B. The competitive advantages of Melbourne.‎ C. The various social activities in Melbourne.‎ D. The convenient transportation in Melbourne.‎ ‎34. From the underlined sentence, we can infer the athletes __________.‎ A. have minimum social activities B. take no interest in the beauty of the city C. are forbidden to live in the busy city center D. are unwilling to celebrate the victory publicly ‎35. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?‎ CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion A. B. ‎ C. D. ‎ 第二节：七选五 (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。‎ People from Britain and Ireland first came to live in Australia in 1788. _____36_______ These different kinds of English began to mix and change. The newcomers soon began to speak with their own typical accent（口音） and vocabulary. More and more people came to Australia during the Gold Rush in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some came from Britain and Ireland；others came from non-English speaking countries. Australian English continued to grow and change.‎ ‎______37_____During the Second World War, there were many American soldiers staying in Australia. More importantly, American television shows and music have been popular in Australia since the 1950s.‎ Australians use many words that other English speakers do not use.

Some of these words have changed in meaning. Some words have come from Australian original languages, many of which are names for animals, plants and places, like dingo and kangaroo.‎ ‎______39______ In words like organise and realise, -ise is the expected and taught spelling method. In words like colour, favourite, -our is the normal, but nouns such as the Labor Party and Victor Harbor are spelled with -or. Program, on the other hand, is more common than programme.‎ ‎_____40______ For example, football means "rugby" in New South Wales and Queensland, but "Australian rules football" everywhere else in Australia. In New South Wales, a swimming costume is called a cossie or swimmers, while in Queensland it is called togs and bathers in Victoria.‎ A. Australian spelling comes from British spelling.‎ B. They brought different dialects of English with them.‎ C. Australian English has also been influenced by American English.‎ D. Many words were brought to Australia from Britain and Ireland.‎ E.

Back then，I was 13 years old，and always felt unhappy with mom．But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one．A pot of flowers sat in the back seat，whose heavenly scent filled the car．‎ Suddenly，in the middle of nowhere，my mom pulled over．“What are you doing?”I cried，fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there，so far from home．But that wasn’t the case．My mom hopped out of the car，grabbing the flowers from the back seat．“It’ll just be a minute，”she called back through the open windows．My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home．I looked back to the building，somewhat annoyed，as my mom reappeared—empty-handed．‎ Before she started the car，curiosity drove me to ask，“Do you know someone there?”She shook her head．“Then what did you do with the flowers?”She smiled slightly，“I gave them to the receptionist．” “What?”She laughed at my confusion．“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them，especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while．”‎ I kept silent for a moment．Not long after we continued our driving，I spoke again，“Did you leave your name?”To this she answered instantly，“No．Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good，which is enough of a thank for me．”‎ Suddenly，still thinking about Mom’s deeds，I heard something burst loudly．It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse，because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it，and we didn’t know where the garage was．It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by，since we had seen so few along the way．‎ 注意：1、所续写的短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2、续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ Paragraph 1：‎ We were worrying about what could be done．______________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2：‎ As we drove along，a flower shop came into sight. __________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案解析】‎ 听力 1-5.ABACC 6-10.

Unfortunately/Unluckily 应用文写作：‎ One possible version Dear Jack,‎ I’m glad to know you’re interested in Chinese Calligraphy. It’s my pleasure to tell you how to learn Chinese calligraphy.‎ As we all know, the four treasures of the study are writing brush, ink, paper and ink stone, which are essential to learn Chinese calligraphy. As to the way to learn it, I think, for one thing, you may study the basic structure of each Chinese character step by step；for another, choosing a good model book to copy is of great benefit to you. Chinese calligraphy is a fine art of the excellent traditional cultures in China. Not only does it do good to health, but also it can cultivate morality and purify our souls.‎ Hoping you can come to China to enjoy it personally.‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua 读后续写 One possible version:‎ Paragraph 1：‎ We were worrying about what could be done．But after waiting in vain for a long time, under the hot burning sun, worried and depressed, I was wandering the road aimlessly. “What if no one is willing to help us?” All of a sudden, a man with his hands waving at mom came into our view. “He is the receptionist from the nursing home.” Mom explained to me. “Why are you here?” Mom asked excitedly. “ I just intended to thank you for your flowers formally.” How lucky we were! What amazed me most was that he was a retired garage man. As a consequence, he had our car repaired.‎ Paragraph 2：‎ As we drove along，a flower shop came into sight. I walked quickly into the flower shop, where a bunch of flowers in full bloom caught my eye. Having witnessed the effect of my mom’s kindness, I decided to send her the sweet flowers. Soon, the heavenly scent filled the car again. Mom tried to conceal her excitement, but tears filled her eyes. Though this trip, I discovered that, despite my occasional anger towards her, I actually felt proud of her. Just at that moment, a pleasant wind was blowing, making the leaves of trees swinging as if to be cheering for us./ What mom did reminded me of a famous saying: Roses given,fragrance in hand.‎ 附：听力材料 ‎(Text 1)‎ M: Hi Lucy! Wow — what a lot of noise! Are you in a shopping center?‎ W: It’s this film on TV. It’s too loud, isn’t it?‎ M: Yeah, a bit. Are you free tomorrow? There’s a concert in the park. Shall we go?‎ W: That sounds great.‎ ‎(Text 2)‎ W: Have you taken my phone, Sam? I just put it on the table next to my bed, but it’s not there now! Mum said she saw you put a phone on your desk!‎ M: Yes, I did — my phone! What’s that over there on the sofa? Look — there’s yours!‎ ‎(Text 3)‎ M: Hi Mia. Are you free on December 17th? It’s my birthday, and I’m having a party.‎ W: Sorry, Nico, but I’ll be on holiday. We’re going to Australia. We’ll leave on the 10th. And we won’t fly back until 5th January!‎ ‎(Text 4)‎ W: So, Robert, how do you feel this year has gone for you? You’ve worked really hard to increase our sales.‎ M: It’s been a bit up and down, but I’ll meet my sales targets. Last year you promised me that I would be promoted if I met my sales targets.‎ ‎(Text 5)‎ M: What’s the weather like in Prague?‎ W: Well, when I arrived in Prague, it was minus seven degrees and there was lots of snow. But in summer, the sun shines, and you can sit outside in the cafes. The weather in autumn is fantastic.‎ 第二节 ‎(Text 6)‎ M: I’ve photographed the tree in our village every day to show how it’s changed through the different seasons. Look.‎ W: Oh, here it’s covered in leaves. Reminds me of summer.‎ M: Yes — it’s a nice photo. But look — in this one you can seethe new leaves beginning to grow again — I prefer it to all the others, to be honest. My mum loves this photo taken in winter, with no leaves on the tree, but the light was poor that day.‎ W: Really? Well, I still think it’s beautiful.‎ ‎(Text 7)‎ M: Do you have a best friend, Olga?‎ W: Yes, I do. Her name’s Anna.‎ M: Tell me about her, please.‎ W: She’s very kind. She’s always there if I need someone to talk to. She’s smart. She’s usually at the top of the class in math.‎ M: What do you like to read?‎ W: Well, I like to read historical novels. I’m reading one about Anne Boleyn now. It’s extremely interesting. Now I want to visit England and see the places where she lived.‎ M: Have you been to any nice places recently?‎ W: Yes, I went to St. Petersburg during my last vacation. My grandparents live there. We stayed there for a week, and we visited all the museums and palaces. It was wonderful.‎ ‎(Text 8)‎ M: Hi, can I help you?‎ W: Yes, I’d like to return this T-shirt, please.‎ M: May I ask what the problem with the T-shirt is?‎ W: Well, I don’t know about the size. I haven’t tried it on. Look, it’s got the name of the store right across it. I hate that.‎ M: Yes, most of our T-shirts have the name like that.‎ W: I didn’t notice it. I only bought it 3 days ago. Can I have the money back?‎ M: No. I’m sorry. We can only return your money if there’s something wrong with the clothes.‎ W: There is something wrong. It has this name across it.‎ M: No. I mean if there’s a stain on it or something like that. And there’s nothing like that wrong with this T-shirt,so all I can do is exchange it for something else.‎ W: Well, the belts in your store are nice. I’ll exchange the T-shirt for one belt.‎ M: OK. The belt is more expensive than the T-shirt, so you’ll have to pay the difference, which is eleven fifty.‎ W: OK.‎ ‎(Text 9)‎ W: Today I’m talking to teenage skateboard champion, Blayne Jackson. Blayne, how did you first learn to skateboard?‎ M: I got my first skateboard when I was eight. I was hoping to join the skateboard club at my local park, but you had to be at least 12 to have lessons. So I just watched lots of skateboarding videos and then practiced all the moves. My cousin was really good at doing jumps, but he was 13 and not interested in teaching a kid like me!‎ W: Where’s the best place for skateboarding?‎ M: Well, for freestyle-boarding, any flat ground, like a basketball court, will do. The place I like most right now is the path that goes along the beach in my town. There’s a square in London which is great for skateboarding.‎ W: I guess health is important. What do you do to stay fit?‎ M: I used to skateboard for 3 hours every day. That wasn’t keeping me fit enough, though. So I’ve had a home gym put in and I’ve started to spend time in there.‎ W: Any advice for young people taking up skateboarding?‎ M: Don’t waste money on a cheap board. Another thing I’d advise is don’t expect to learn straight away. It takes time and practice.‎ W: Thanks, Blayne.‎ ‎(Text 10)‎ M: Here is a piece of news about paper. Scientists have come up with a new type of paper that can be printed on and then used again up to 20 times. Users will be able to either remove the writing from the paper themselves, or leave it to disappear over a period of time, after which the paper will be completely blank and ready to be printed on again. There is no big change in quality between the first and the twentieth printout. Under normal circumstances it seems that the writing will remain perfectly clear for at least three days, long enough for most practical purposes.‎ The new process does not require ink. Instead, the paper is printed on using a mixture of chemicals and light. If users want the print to disappear more quickly, they can apply heat to the paper. This can take as little as ten minutes. The hope is that in the future this paper will be widely used, providing an environmentally friendly alternative to ordinary paper.‎
