It was built between 1705 and 1722 as a reward of the British government to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, for defeating King Louis XlV's army at Blenheim, a small Bavarian village on the Danube River. The palace was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh, which displayed strength and arm glory. It is the largest non-royal building in England and is now listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. ‎ Winston Churchill ‎ In 1874，the palace was the birthplace of the duke's most famous descendant. Winston Churchill, who was to become the UK's Prime Minister (some would say Britain's greatest 20th-century politician ) and Nobel prize winner for literature. It is also in Blenheim that Winston got married to Clementine Hozier in 1908.‎ A lasting exhibition is devoted to the man's life, work and writings. Winston and his wife are buried in Bladon Church within the palace，‎ Opening Hours & Admission ‎ Blenheim is still the home of the 11th Duke of Marlborough and is therefore not open all year round (although the park is),The palace opens its doors to visitors from 12 February to 11 December. Entry to the palace, park and gardens cost £11,50 during the low season and £13 during the peak season (Easter weekend and from 28 May toll September), or £6/£8 for the park and gardens only.‎ ‎ The park is open all-year round from 9am to 4:45pm (last entry). Admission is £2,50 for adults and £1.50 for children.‎ ‎ Note that numerous discounts exist for seniors, students, children and groups. Please refer to the official website for more details.‎ ‎21. What can be learned about Blenheim Palace?‎ A. It is the Europe’s largest and greatest palaces.‎ B. It is the largest royal building in England.‎ C. It is now one of the world’s heritage sites,‎ D. It was built in honor of Prime Minister Winston Churchill ‎22. What does the underlined word in the text mean?‎ A.A house keeper.‎ B.A child or a child’s child.‎ C.A family doctor ‎ D.A grand parent ‎23. Why can not people visit Blenheim Palace all the year round?‎ A. They are too busy to afford the time.‎ B. Repairs are badly needed for the palace.‎ C. Some seasons are not convenient for visitors.‎ D. The 11th Duke of Marlborough still lives there,‎ B In October 2013, Davion Only made an appeal on the Internet. He had learned that his biological mother had died not long before. “My name is Davion and I have been in foster care since I was born,” he said, “but I am not giving up hope.”‎ The heartbreaking appeal spread quickly, and Only's foster agency received calls from more than 10,000 people. Only ended up travelling to Ohio to live with a family. But after Only got into a physical fight with one of his elder would-be brothers, the family changed their minds.‎ Back in Florida, Only passed through four different temporary homes over the following year, until he called Connie Going, his adoption case worker, to make a special request. Only had known Going for nearly ten years, and had asked every year if she would adopt him, but she always hesitated. “I always believed there was a better family than us out there," Going said in an interview. But last July, when Only called and asked again if she might adopt him, Going said something felt different. "When he asked me, my heart felt this ache and I just knew he was my son," she said.‎ So Going, 52, invited Only to start spending time with the rest of her family-her two daughters, Sydney, 21, and Carly 17, and a son Taylor, 14, who she also adopted out of foster care. Eventually, after seeing how well the arrangement was working, Going, who had rented a bigger home, started adopting Only. Only moved in with her family last December. He officially joined Going's family on April 22, 2015 when the adoption papers went through.‎ ‎"Today, I feel blessed and honored to have been chosen to be the parent of all my children," Going said.‎ ‎24. By making the appeal, Davion Only hoped that_________.‎ A. service in his foster agency would improve B. his biological mother would come to him C. he would be adopted by a family D. a foster agency would accept him ‎25. Davion Only didn't live with the family in Ohio because_______‎ A. they finally refused to accept him ‎ B. he hated living with them C. he has received another invitation D. he often fought with his would-be brothers ‎26. What do we know from Paragraph 3?‎ A. Davion Only had fun living in different homes.‎ B. Connie Going had cared about Davion Only for over ten years.‎ C. Connie Going believed she would give Davion Only what he wanted.‎ D. Davion Only had a strong desire to be adopted by Connie Going.‎ ‎27. After Davion Only joined Connie Going's family,____________‎ A. Connie Going bought a bigger house ‎ B. Connie Going didn't regret her decision C. the four kids often had physical fights D. another three kids were later adopted as well ‎ C If you are worried about the planet, please make sure your rubbish is buried under the ‎ ground.‎ People talk about “reduce, reuse, recycle.” It sounds like a good idea. There is a problem, though. Recycling costs too much money.‎ Even the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says it only makes sense economically and environmentally to recycle about 35 percent of disabled (废弃的) materials. Among those materials are paper and aluminum（铝）cans. Recycling 1 ton of paper or aluminum cans, the agency says, can save about 3 tons of CO2 emissions (排放物) over producing those materials anew. Paper producers pay for the trees they process. If it was cost-effective to recycle paper, producers would be beating down your door to buy it. But they aren’t. That means it’s more expensive to recycle old paper than to cut trees and then replant trees for processing.‎ Plastic can be recycled too. Given the recent drop in crude oil (原油) prices, it is now cheaper to make a new plastic container than to recycle an old one. Even if that were not true, the EPA says that recycling a ton of plastic saves only about a ton of CO2. However, it doesn’t take into account the water most consumers use to wash their plastic containers before having them recycled. The New York Times journalist John Tierney recently wrote, “If you wash plastic in water that was heated by electricity, then the effort of your recycling could be more carbon in the atmosphere.”‎ Glass is another recyclable material. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1 ton you have to recycle 3 tons of glass. If one includes the cost of collecting glass waste from neighborhoods, and the pollution produced by the collection trucks and the recycling process itself, glass recycling creates more greenhouse gas emissions and is more expensive than making new glass, which comes primarily from sand that exists everywhere.‎ If recycling were truly cost-effective, private companies would be lining up at your doorstep to buy your rubbish. Don’t look now because they’re not there.‎ ‎28. What’s the EPA’s attitude to recycling aluminum cans?‎ A. It is helpful to the environment.‎ B. It is actually a waste of money.‎ C. It costs less than recycling paper.‎ D. It costs the same as producing new cans.‎ ‎29. What increases the cost of recycling plastic?‎ A. The crude oil.‎ B. The water pollution C. The process to clean it.‎ D. The electricity for lights.‎ ‎30. What can be learned about making new glass?‎ A. It results in lots of waste in neighborhood.‎ B. The material for new glass can be easily got.‎ C. It is slightly more expensive than recycling glass.‎ D. Making 3 tons of new glass produces 1 ton of carbon emissions.‎ ‎31. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence?‎ A. Recycling will disappear soon.‎ B. Companies will line up at your doorstep.‎ C. Recycling is a way to deal with your rubbish.‎ D. Companies won’t bother to collect discarded materials.‎ ‎ D A study examining the children of people evacuated(撤离)during the WWII showed the daughters of female evacuees were up to four times more likely to suffer from serious mental health conditions compared to those whose parents stayed at home.‎ In the largest enquiry ever of its kind, researchers examined the health records of 3000 children of Finnish people evacuated to Sweden during the 1941-1945 conflict with Soviet Russia. The evacuees, many of whom were at a pre-school age, were placed with foster families in Sweden and were forced to learn Swedish, later returning to Finland. The study found that the female children of these girls had an increased risk of being hospitalized for conditions such as depression. However, this was not the case with children of boys evacuated during the war.‎ ‎ The study could not determine why. One possibility is that the stress of the evacuees’ experience affected their psychological development in ways that influenced their parenting style. Another possibility is that the evacuees’ experience resulted in epigenetic changes—changed in the way genes are expressed. For example, the researchers mentioned an earlier finding that Holocaust survivors have higher levels of methyl groups bound to the FKBP5 gene and have passed his change on to their children. This higher level of methyl groups appears ‎ to change the production of cortisol, a hormone(荷尔蒙) that controls the stress response.‎ ‎ “The Finnish evacuation was intended to protect children from the harm associated with the country’s wars with the Soviet Union”, said study co-author Dr Torsten Santavirta, from Uppsala University.‎ ‎ “Our observation of the long-term psychiatric(精神病的) risk that reached into the next generation is concerning and stresses the need to weigh benefits as well as potential risks when designing policies for child protection”.‎ ‎32. What can we infer about the new study?‎ A. It involved the most test subjects. B. Its finding is relatively reliable.‎ C. Its finding is contrary to an earlier one. D. It was conducted right after the WWII.‎ ‎33. Which method does the author use to develop Paragraph3?‎ A. By introducing a conclusion. B. By conducting an experiment.‎ C. By making assumptions. D. By supporting opinions.‎ ‎34. How does Dr. Santavirta find the Finnish evacuation?‎ A. It didn’t fully fulfill its original purpose.‎ B. It resulted in wars with the Soviet Union.‎ C. It was first suggested by the Soviet Union.‎ D. It was a good example of the child protection.‎ ‎35. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Children’s mental health is greatly influenced by wars.‎ B. Women’s mental illness can be passed to the future generation.‎ C. Mothers’ childhood mental condition may affect their daughters.‎ D. Girls are more likely to suffer from mental problems than boys.‎ 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。‎ ‎ There are always a lot of pressures in life: appointments you are late for, health and financial worries and so on. ____36___. Under such pressure, your child came in: He’d lost his sneakers, and suddenly remembered that he needed a new notebook for school, or he was teasing his little sister.‎ ‎ In your peaceful moments, you could probably have handled any parenting challenge much better from a state of calm. ___37___. How could this kid be so irresponsible, inconsiderate, ungrateful or even mean? So you scolded your child angrily. The whole process only took a few seconds.‎ ‎ If your young child does not seem afraid of your anger, it shows that your child has seen too much of it and has developed defenses against it. The more often you get angry, the more prepared for it your child will be. ___38___. In the end, your child is more likely to be open to the influences of his peer group. That means you have some repair work to do.‎ ‎ Sometimes your child gets angry too, so it’s a double gift for you to find constructive ways to deal with your anger: Not only do you not hurt your child, but you also offer your child a role model. ___39___. So the best way is not to yell out. Stop and calm yourself down. Take a deep breath. ___40___. If you really need to scream, go into your car with the windows rolled up and scream where no one can hear, but don’t use words.‎ A.The list is endless B.Anger is scary enough C.That deep breath is your pause button D.How you handle your anger teaches your child a lot E.There are some parents who never get angry at their children F.And the less likely your child will want to behave to please you G.But in the storm of your anger, you might feel it was your right as parents to be angry 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分55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。‎ Last winter was extremely cold and it was also a difficult time for me.
