The tropical island has set an ambitious goal to become the country’s southern centre of technological innovation. The approval of the establishment of the Hainan Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ, 自由贸易区试点) has opened a new era for the island’s development. This island will be granted more autonomy (自主权) to reform. ‎ The first global tech company to commit itself to a presence on the island was Microsoft. The U.S. technology giant has formed a partnership with the provincial government to transform Hainan into a powerhouse of software development. Singaporean investment company Temasek, which had invested in Tencent and Alibaba, joined forces with Hainan-based HNA Group in April last year to explore opportunities in aviation, logistics and airport infrastructure. The Hainan government is now in talks with other tech multinationals (跨国企业), including IBM and SAP, to establish their regional headquarters on the island.‎ According to China’s State Council (国务院), the Hainan FTZ will be operational by 2020 and reach a “mature” stage by 2035. Industries such as tourism, medical care, aviation and new energy will be given preferential treatment (优惠待遇). ‎ To be sure, Hainan has to face tough competition. As an emerging tech centre, it has no choice but to compete against established centers like Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai. But officials in Hainan are confident. “Compared with Beijing and Shanghai, Hainan has a geographical advantage that can connect China with Southeast Asia,” said an official from the provincial government. “It would be attractive for multinationals and domestic giants to set up regional headquarters here.”‎ ‎16. Besides tourism, Hainan currently aims to develop ______. ‎ A. agriculture B. business C. technology D. marine development ‎17. Which of the foreign companies has cooperated with Hainan for the longest period of time up till now? ‎ A. FTZ. B. Microsoft. C. Temasek. D. IBM.‎ ‎18. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Hainan: More than a Tourist Destination B. Confident Officials in Hainan ‎ C. More Autonomy to Reform D. Headquarters of Tech Multinationals in Hainan B There is a giant mirror in my hometown, covering one side of a building that I had to walk past to get to school. When I was a teenager, I learned to take a different route. The mirror was clean and shiny, and I saw myself in reflection, plodding (沉重地走) down the hill without grace or charm. Suddenly, I could see the truth so plainly: however long I spent applying makeup or adjusting my outfit or preparing myself to go out, I couldn’t see the “beautiful” me I had imagined. ‎ When I was a teenager, the widespread message that “everyone is beautiful” was deeply rooted in my mind. I admired beauty so much because I often felt awkward as a teenager and beauty seemed to be the most important goal. To be beautiful was to have power over others. It was much more difficult to make a beautiful girl seem foolish than it was an average looking one, I thought.‎ Eventually I grew up, and my obsession (迷恋), seemingly, faded. Much worse things than not being beautiful happened to me. I was ashamed that at the age of 28, I had to move back home and live with my parents for a whole month because I was too broke to pay the rent. Yet, the embarrassment I felt as a teenager about not fitting some ideal of beauty never went away. The returning awareness of my physical shortcomings, the mirror’s sharp reminder, kept telling me whatever else I am, I would never be that.‎ After years of trying to be beautiful, now, for the first time, I’m coming to realize that I don’t have to be. I’m increasingly convinced the idea that “everyone is beautiful” isn’t only less important than we might like to believe, but also quite harmful. Wouldn’t it be liberating (使得到释放的) to admit that most people are not beautiful? I wonder what it would be like to grow up in a world where being beautiful is not seen as a necessity, but instead a nice thing some people are born with and some people aren’t, like a talent for swimming, or playing the piano. Some people have other talents.‎ It has seemed to take up so much of my life, being desperate to not only be acceptable to look at, but also stunning (极美的), exceptional (非凡的) and enchanting (迷人的). What might I have experienced if I had not been trying to achieve “beauty”? What would it have been like to pass that mirror in my hometown, and to see myself — on the way to the library, or a party with friends — and simply felt glad that I was able to do those things with a body that allowed me to?‎ Everybody is beautiful, we’re told. But why should we have to be?‎ ‎19. What does the underlined word “outfit” in the first paragraph mean?‎ ‎ A. Attitude. B. Lifestyle. C. Costume. D. Voice. ‎ ‎20. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3? ‎ A. Her obsession with a beautiful appearance was gone as she grew up.‎ B. She stopped worrying about her appearance because she turned pretty.‎ C. She still felt embarrassed every time she passed the giant mirror.‎ D. Her financial trouble kept her from caring about her looks anymore.‎ ‎21. What’s the purpose of the author in writing this article?‎ ‎ A. To entertain readers with her mirror-related life story.‎ ‎ B. To teach readers that everyone can be beautiful.‎ ‎ C. To criticize those who overrate (高估) their appearances.‎ ‎ D. To convince readers appearances are not a necessity.‎ C Have you ever wondered what the longest word in the English language is? Believe it or not, there’s no simple answer to the question. You might think it would be as easy as opening a dictionary and looking for the longest word. However, it’ s far more complicated than that. ‎ Over time, many people have suggested many different words for the title of the longest word in English. How can that be? That’s because the first thing that people have different opinions on is what should be considered a word. Some of the words were simply made up to be the longest! For example, there is one really famous long word that most kids know. It comes from Disney’s movie Mary Poppins: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, which means wonderful. But since that 34-letter word was made up simply to be sung as a song in a movie, should it count? ‎ How about long words that actually describe something in the world? Scientists have come up with several possible choices. The name of a virus totals 1, 185 letters. There’s also a protein whose name totals 1, 909 letters. Should these win the title? “Not so fast!” say some people. Are these words ever actually used? Can they even be pronounced? And are they meaningful just because they are made up to be long? ‎ If you’re wondering about some long words in common English, here are some examples. Those words include uncharacteristically (20 letters), deinstitutionalization (22 letters) and counterrevolutionaries (also 22 letters). Or perhaps the word “smiles” is the longest word in English. Sure, it has only six letters, but there is a “mile” between the first and the last letters! ‎ ‎22. What is the first thing to consider when we decide the longest word?‎ A. Whether it is a real word. B. Whether it can be pronounced.‎ C. Whether it is used in daily life. D. Whether it can be understood. ‎ ‎23. Why does the author mention the underlined questions in paragraph 3?‎ A. To express the writer’s concern. B. To compare different ideas.‎ C. To amuse readers. D. To show people’s doubt.‎ ‎24. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?‎ A. Proud. B. Humorous. C. Excited. D. Surprised.‎ ‎25. The text is mainly about _________________________.‎ A. English words change a lot as time goes by B. it is hard to decide what the longest word is C. long words are often used in scientific fields D. why we can’t understand some English words 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文中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。(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分)‎ High school is an important period of your life, so you need to learn to spend your high school time wisely. Here are some ideas that can lend you a hand. ‎ Studies come first. Make sure that you understand everything your teachers teach. 26._______________ Take notes if you think your teacher is teaching something important. Also, have a plan for what you’re going to study. It is best if you could deal with every subject every day. ‎ ‎27. ___________ Don’t delay (推迟) today’s homework until tomorrow. If you happen to be sick, call or e-mail a friend to see if they can come and give you the homework.

It is a day 52 (think) seriously about how our lifestyles and daily habits influence the earth. ‎ In English there are many expressions with the word “earth”. So, let’s start 53 the simple and common expression “on earth”. We use “on earth” to express strong 54 (feel) like surprise and anger. Here are some 55 (practice) examples. “Why on earth didn’t you come to the party? It was great.” And “I did not know 56 on earth she was talking about.” ‎ The word “earth” sometimes comes up when a person wants to make big promises to someone they care about. When you say you will “go to the ends of the earth for someone”, it means you will do as much as possible to help 57 (they). For example, when the wife became sick, the husband went to the ends of the earth to find 58 best doctor for her.‎ Down-to-earth people are the people whom you can depend on. Flighty people are the opposite. They change their minds 59 (easy).‎ The expression “the salt of the earth” comes from the Bible. It describes a very good person. For example, my neighbors never stop 60 (help) people in need. I can call them the-salt-of-the-earth type people. ‎ V. 短文改错 (共10处错误；满分10分)‎ ‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线(＼)划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ ‎2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。‎ This summer I took part in a really interesting project.
