Mr. Stewart Thomas, a parent of two students at Star Middle School, firstly came up with the idea. Mr. Thomas is a fan of walking and wants to encourage others to appreciate the activity. He shared his idea with our principal, Ms. Howser, who ‎ immediately agreed that we should try it.‎ Ms. Howser contacted the other middle schools in the district, and all the teachers eagerly adopted the program. Now a team of Count-Your-Steps organizers made up of representatives from the middle schools, has established the program’s goal: to increase awareness of the benefits of walking. Organizers want middle school students to accept this challenge and make walking one of their daily activities.‎ The program has clear guidelines. Interested participants must only commit to recording the number of steps taken daily. Ms. Earley, the assistant principal, will give each of us a log for recording our steps and a pedometer, which is a small, digital tool used to count the steps of the person wearing it. All participants need to do each day is to wear the pedometer, walk as much as possible, and then record the number of steps in our logs. Clearly, the process is simple and convenient.‎ While the benefits of walking are multiple, this challenge offers all who participate the opportunity to work together, achieve success, and make positive changes. Remember that the other schools in the district are signed up for the Count-Your-Steps too, and each one will try to take more steps than our school. I hope many will agree to this challenge and show everyone the Star Middle School Cougar Spirit.‎ Please take into careful consideration this valuable and well-planned program, and then sign up today! In the words of Mr. Thomas, “Together we can enjoy the advantages of walking.”‎ Sincerely,‎ Cora Jeffries ‎21.________ firstly suggested the Count-Your-Steps walking program.‎ A. Mr. Thomas B. Ms. Earley C. Ms. Howser D. Cora Jeffries ‎22.The goal of Count-Your-Steps walking program is to ________.‎ A. show the school spirit B. make friends with others C. develop a habit of running D. appreciate the benefits of walking ‎23.The pedometer is used to ________.‎ A. find the routes B. record the days C. number the steps D. count the walkers ‎24.The purpose of the passage is to ________.‎ A. introduce school rules B. call on students to join a program C. explain the guidelines D. persuade students to buy a pedometer B Many managers believe that overworking is an evidence of devotion from their employees’ side. Still few others regard this custom as a threat to the worked work-life balance, which may negatively influence the level of productivity and efficiency.‎ Employees at Amsterdam design studio Heldergroen won’t be putting in much overtime. Not in the office, at any rate, because every day at 6:00 pm, their desks, tables and other work surfaces, with their computers attached, are lifted to the ceiling by steel cables (绳索) normally used to move heavy props (道具) in theatrical productions. If you leave a half-eaten sandwich on your desk, you’ve out of luck.‎ ‎“Once the chairs and other workplace paraphernalia are cleared away, the space is free for evening and weekend use as a dance floor, yoga studio... or anything else you can think of—the floor is actually yours,” director Sander Veenendaal said.‎ In a way, the office space itself is working overtime for Heldergroen, bringing about lots of publicity and carrying an enlightened (有启发的) message of career-life balance far and wide. “We think that doing activities like this makes it easier for people to work here,” says Veenendaal. “You know when it is time to relax or do something else that inspires you.”‎ That sounds awesome. There’s just one catch. In the morning, the desks reappear and everybody has to go back to work.‎ ‎25.What can we learn about the employees at Heldergroen?‎ A. They are unwilling to work late.‎ B. They are persuaded to leave the office earlier.‎ C. They believe overworking is an evidence of devotion.‎ D. They are to put away their computers after work.‎ ‎26.What does the underlined word “paraphernalia” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A. Props. B. Food.‎ C. Equipment. D. Cables.‎ ‎27.What does the author think of the Heldergroen’s office design?‎ A. Creative. B. Inconvenient.‎ C. Ordinary. D. Strange.‎ C China’s Singles Day, which falls on Nov. 11 every year, has far surpassed its U. S. counterparts of Black Friday and Cyber Monday—combined Last year, Americans spent a record $ 12.8 billion online between Thanksgiving Day and Cyber Monday. It’s impressive until you compare it to the $ 17.6 billion in sales made by Chinese consumers in a single 24-hour period during ‎2016’‎s Singles Day.‎ Singles Day is known as “Bare Sticks Day” or “Bare Branches Day” in Chinese-because the date “11/‎11”‎ looks like bare branches and “one” is the loneliest number. Singles Day began in the early 1990s in the dorm rooms of Nanjing University when a group of single friends were sorry about the lack of significant others and decided to mark the day by organizing activities as a group of singles and reducing their loneliness by buying themselves a gift.‎ Then in 2009, sensing a break between the sales period of China’s National Day on Oct. 1 and Chinese New Year in late January or early February, Alibaba’s Jack Ma saw an opening: sell to comfort lonely hearts.‎ The first year did only $7.5 million in sales, but just 8 years later, shoppers spent $ 25.3 billion, or 168.2 billion yuan, this year—a 40 percent jump from last year’s $ 17.6 billion. For comparison, Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the U. S. only netted $ 6.79 billion in 2016. Amazon doesn’t release sales figures for July’s Prime Day, but it’s pretty safe to believe the not-quite-national-holiday doesn’t come close to $ 25 billion.‎ ‎“More than $ 25 billion in one day is not just a sales figure,” Alibaba Group CEO Daniel Zhang said in a statement. “It represents the desire for quality consumption of the Chinese consumer, and it reflects how merchants and consumers alike have now fully accepted the combination of online and offline sales.”‎ ‎28.What does the underlined word “others” refer to in Paragraph 2?‎ A. Roommates. B. Good friends.‎ C. Boyfriends or girlfriends. D. Relatives.‎ ‎29.What is the original purpose of China’s Singles Day?‎ A. To promote the online sale of goods.‎ B. To reduce loneliness of singles in China.‎ C. To create a holiday for all Chinese youth.‎ D. To find boyfriends or girlfriends for singles.‎ ‎30.China’s Singles Day became consumers’ day in .‎ A. the early 1990s B. ‎2016 C. 2017 D. 2009‎ ‎31.Which of the following words can describe Daniel Zhang’s attitude to online sales?‎ A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Worried. D. Confused.‎ D Directions：Read the following three passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.‎ Death is a serious theme worthy of great poets．For example, John Keats’s ‘When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be’ and John Donne’s ‘Death, Be Not Proud’ both discuss death in reflective ways．However, the imagery(意象) in these poems shows that while Keats believes that death can only destroy, Donne believes that death can be overcome. Keats is afraid of death, because to him death means the loss of those things that make his life worth living: ‘On the shore/ of the wide world I stand alone, and think/ Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.’ Earlier in the poem, Keats says that he hopes this ‘Love’ will be a ‘high romance’ with a ‘fair creature.’ He also says that he hopes the ‘Fame’ he seeks will be the result of the ‘high piled books’ produced by his ‘crowded brain.’ In other words, Keats’s fear is that death is a ‘nothingness’ that will arrive before he can finish his life’s work or find his true love. Donne has a different attitude toward death, and so the imagery in his poem is different, too．To Donne, death should ‘be not proud,’ because it is not ‘mighty and dreadful.’ Unlike Keats, Donne sees death as weak and merely a ‘slave to Fate, chance, kings, and desperate men.’ He also says that death is like ‘rest and sleep’．Donne believes that we will all wake from the sleep of death to everlasting life, just as we wake from our normal sleep to our everyday lives．In fact,‎ ‎ Donne believes that it is death itself that will die: ‘One short sleep past, we wake forever,/ And Death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.’ Keats and Donne both know that death is a prat of life, and both poets use powerful imagery to talk about that difficult theme．The differences in this imagery show two very different attitudes toward the subject, one of which is much more positive than the other．Which poet to believe is up to the reader to decide. Not surprisingly, the readers’ own experiences may play a part in the way they respond to these poets’ approaches．Like the two poets and their beliefs, contemporary readers also may be divided on the subject．This may explain why Keats’s and Donne’s poetry remains fascinating years after their won deaths. 32.According to the passage, ________ makes Keats’s life worth living. A． expressing his grand passion for poetry B． walking on the shore with a pretty lady C． defeating nothingness with his true love D． pursuing the fame of being a romantic poet 33.In Donne’s poems he believes that death is ________ . A． generally powerful and terrible B． only a ceaseless sleep C． merely the loss of work and love D． hardly worth the fear 34.Contemporary readers may view the two poets’ serious subject differently because ________. A． they are attracted to the two poets’ everlasting opposite beliefs B． they are divided naturally by their positive or negative personalities C． their own life experiences affect the understandings of the poems D． their preferences for the poets’ strong imageries are various 35.Which of the following best describes the main writing style of the passage? A． Analysis． B． Argument． C． Comparison． D． Reasoning.‎ 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。‎ The Effects of StressThere is a famous expression in English：“Stop the world，I want to get off！”This expression refers to a feeling of panic，or stress，that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing，try to relax，and become calm again 36.It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life．Too much stress results in physical，emotional，and mental health problems．There are numerous physical effects of stress．37.It can increase the pulse rate，make the heart miss beats，and can cause high blood pressure．Stress can affect the respiratory system．It can lead to asthma．It can cause a person to breathe too fast，resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide．Stress cilia affect the stomach．38.These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress．Emotions are also easily affected by stress．People suffering from stress often feel anxious．They may have panic attacks．They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress，they often overreact to little problems．For example，a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice．39.Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious-mental illnesses．Depression，an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness，can be the result of continued and increasing stress．Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress．Eating disorders are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress．40.‎ A. Stress can make people angry, moody or nervous．‎ B. “Stress”means pressure or tension．‎ C. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food．‎ D. It is obvious that stress can cause physical problems.‎ E. Stress can affect the heart．‎ F. So stop the world and rest for a while．‎ G.
