We’re pretty much even（相等的）when it comes to the children and the elderly. But the paying of bills isn’t 50/50-my wife pays all sorts of household expenses, so I never even have to set eyes on them. And the cooking isn’t 50/50, either. ‎ The truth is that I am the cook. On my recent 40th birthday, I received the following gifts from my children: a new pot, two mini bottles of truffle oil, a decorative salad-dressing pourer, and a juice-making machine. For a moment I longed for something more manly, a cricket bat, perhaps, and then had to admit that all these things would be useful for me. ‎ It’s not that my wife can’t or doesn’t like to cook (she makes delicious Welsh cakes). Nor has it always been this way. In the early years of our marriage I’d be relaxing with a glass of wine while my wife prepared for dinner after work. ‎ But at some point that changed and I became the cook. Ten years with my wife gave me the rewards-I can throw together a roast, and I can make much foreign food. But I have truly become a monster（怪物）in the kitchen, unable to keep myself away from cooking. “You have to add Dijon to the sauce; it brings out the taste of the cheese,” I volunteer, as my wife is cooking. “Quick, stir in the butter so the dish becomes delicious.” ‎ Is it any wonder that my wife has given up coming into the kitchen while I find the whole process of chopping, mixing, and adding things deeply satisfying?‎ ‎21．What do the writer and his wife probably share evenly at home? ‎ a．Cooking in the kitchen.‎ b．Taking care of the children.‎ c．Paying household expenses.‎ d．Taking care of the elderly at home.‎ A．ab B．bc C．bd D．ac ‎22．The gifts that the writer received on his 40th birthday show that .‎ A．his children don’t know him at all B．he is in charge of the cooking at home C．he doesn’t get along well with his children D．his children have made wrong choices ‎23．What do we know about the writer’s wife? ‎ A．She can’t cook.‎ B．She doesn’t like cooking.‎ C．She used to cook for the family.‎ D．She only knows how to make Welsh cakes.‎ ‎24．From Paragraph 5 we learn that the writer .‎ A．likes sticking his nose into other people’s business B．doesn’t think his wife is good at cooking C．studies very hard in order to cook well D．enjoys cooking in the kitchen B India has a very vast history and heritage（遗产）. The country has witnessed some of the most important events in the past and every event has an effect of its own on the culture, religion, lifestyle, and economy of the country. This is one of the leading reasons why tourists prefer India to travel and explore. Historical tours in India provide everything that a traveler expects from his/her journey. These historical tours give an opportunity to study and explore Indian history.‎ Historical tours of India generally consisted of four phases: ancient, medieval（中世纪的）, modern India and contemporary（当代的）India. Some of the historical travel packages are:‎ Forts and Palaces The rich cultural past of India is reflected in the countless（无数的）forts and palaces across the country. Most of the forts were constructed as a defense device to keep the enemy away and palaces were made on the names of the kings and queens. Some of the famous forts and palaces are: Agra Fort (Agra), Fatehpur Sikri (Agra), Hawa Mahal (Jaipur), Amber Fort (Jaipur), City Palace (Jaipur), Gwalior Fort (Gwalior), Mysore Palace (Mysore), Red Fort (Delhi), etc.‎ India Heritage Tours The main purpose of India Heritage tours is to make Indians as well as tourists familiar with the rich Indian legacy（遗产）. The heritage of the country is at least 5000 years. Some of the heritage tours are: medieval heritage, Rajput heritage, Golden Triangle, splendid Gujarat, etc. ‎ South India Historical Tours The Southern India is known for its diversity and there are many places, which attract tourists, not only from the country but also from all around the world. The famous tourists’ destinations（景区）in South India include Goa, Cochin, Kerala, Munnar, Periyar, Kottayam and the list goes on and on.‎ ‎25．The main purpose of this passage is .‎ A．to report some important events in the history of India B．to introduce some tours that can explore the history of India C．to help study the culture and history of India D．to tell us how to explore the history of India ‎26．Many tourists prefer to travel to and explore because .‎ A．modern India has little to study ‎ B．Indian people have an interesting lifestyle C．its culture is greatly influenced by its history D．India’s history is longer than that of any other country ‎27．Most forts were built in order to .‎ A．honor the kings B．act as a palace for queens C．keep enemies away D．attract tourists ‎ ‎28．According to the passage, Rajput heritage .‎ A．is a famous fort in India ‎ B．is one of the heritages in India ‎ C．has a history of no more than 200 years D．lies in South India C If you will be cycling, you will need to know what these traffic signs and signals mean.‎ A sign like this one means that there is a bike lane（道）. If there is a bike lane, you are required to use it. If there is not a bike lane, you should ride with traffic as far to the right side of the road as possible.‎ When the signal light turns green, cars go. When you cross the street at a signal light, you should wait for the walk signal. Be sure to look carefully to the left, right and left again, before crossing the street.‎ When the signal light turns yellow, car drivers should slow down and prepare to stop. You should not cross if the light is yellow. The light is about to turn red, and cars will enter the intersection(十字路口).‎ This signal is the WALK sign. It has a picture of a person walking instead of using the word WALK.‎ This signal is the DON’T WALK sign. It is part of the signal with the picture of a person walking. This is a picture of a red hand, meaning you should stop. You should wait to cross the street until the green picture of the person walking is showing.‎ Car drivers and bikers must come to a complete stop at STOP signs.‎ A yield sign means to slow down and be ready to stop. If there are pedestrians（行人）or vehicles in or nearing the intersection, you must stop. If there is no traffic in or nearing the intersection and it is safe, you may go through.‎ This sign means you are coming to a crosswalk. Car drivers and bikers must stop to allow people in the crosswalk to cross the street. ‎ ‎29．The passage is intended for .‎ A．car drivers B．skaters C．bikers D．pedestrians ‎30．If you see the sign while riding a bike, you are required to .‎ A．take the bike lane B．stop your bike C．ride close to the right side of the road D．ride in the middle of the road ‎31．Which of the following signs has the same meaning as the sign?‎ A． B． C． D．‎ ‎32．When the signal light turns yellow, cyclists .‎ A．can cross the road B．should walk across the road C．should wait D．can enter the intersection D Energy goes from one plant or animal to another. A food chain shows how this energy moves. Each time an animal gets eaten, its energy is passed onto the animal that eats it. The food chain is very important because it keeps the balance of nature. If one part of the food chain disappears, it can affect all the other plants and animals. Any threat to the food chain is a threat to the environment’s biodiversity（生物多样性）. The food chain helps keep animal populations in balance. However, if something happens to increase or decrease one of the links in the food chain, that balance is broken. If one animal becomes endangered, it puts all the animals above it at risk.‎ Some of the threats are natural, such as wildfires, hurricanes, tornados, floods and so on. But the biggest threats to the food chain come from you and me. These threats include overhunting,‎ ‎ overfishing, logging, farming, development, pollution, etc. The food chain is endangered anywhere humans have had an effect on the natural environment.‎ A recent study shows that the overfishing of large sharks is damaging the food chain along the US Atlantic coast. Canadian and American scientists say sharks are being killed in great numbers for their meat and fins（鳍）. Now, not enough sharks are around to eat the cownose（牛鼻）ray. The ray’s population has increased and they have eaten up the shellfish to the point where it has hurt commercial（商业的）fishing. ‎ Many of us disturb the natural environment in our own backyards. It’s up to us to take care of the environment and try not to disrupt the natural food chain. If we don’t act responsibly, animals will start disappearing. ‎ ‎33．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?‎ A．The food chain is not easy to be broken.‎ B．The energy of an animal usually disappears when it dies.‎ C．Increasing the links will not break the balance of nature.‎ D．Breaking the food chain is bad for the biodiversity of the environment.‎ ‎34．The study mentioned in Paragraph 3 proves that .‎ A．human activities can be a big threat to the food chain B．we are all responsible for the breaking of the food chain C．natural disasters are hard to break the food chain D．hunting large sharks for meat is beneficial ‎35．We can infer that the writer wrote this passage mainly to .‎ A．explain what the food chain is B．tell us something interesting about Nature C．suggest that we stop eating meat to save animals D．suggest that we not disrupt the natural food chain 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。‎ Everything you do to protect the planet helps all living things, including ‎ humpbacks（座头鲸）and other species of whales that live in oceans worldwide. And yes－just one kid, like you, can make a difference. 36 .‎ Don’t litter. Rubbish thrown away carelessly outside often washes into storm drains（排水沟）, which empty into rivers and eventually flow to the oceans. 37 , including whales.‎ Say, “No bag, thank you.” Whether you’re buying toys, snacks, or clothes, tell the checkout person you don’t need a bag. 38 , you’ll help reduce the 100 million plastic bags that each year block sewers（下水道）, and get swallowed by whales, sea turtles, and other wild life.‎ Plant a tree. 39 . They produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）, a gas that animals, including humans, produce naturally as they breathe. But because carbon dioxide also comes from cars and factories, there is too much of it in the atmosphere, which is contributing to global warming. If everyone planted one tree, those trees would remove a large amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.‎ ‎ 40 . Every time you leave a room for more than a minute, turn off the light you’re using. In this way, you save energy and keep greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.‎ Try the family challenge! Many streams and rivers are polluted and littered with rubbish. You and your family can help preserve the waterways by joining others in your community to pick up rubbish.‎ A．Trees help clean the air we breathe B．Turn off the light C．Avoid driving cars D．By carrying your own reusable bag E．Treat them like friends F．Here are ideas for easy small things you can do G．Pollution is a growing problem for all the Earth’s oceans and its wildlife 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。‎ One day, a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise ‎ test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. The professor 41 the question papers. 42 he handed them all out, he asked his students to 43 the papers and begin. To everyone’s surprise, there were no 44 , just a black dot in the center of the page.
