You can see and comment on your friends’ reading progress, as well as create or find a book club group page in your area.‎ Goodreads is simple to use. When you sign up here for an account（帐户）, you will be able to find your friends by their email addresses or other accounts. Once you have some friends, every time you log in（登录）, you will see a timeline of their updates. You can see when they’ve added a book to a list, or when they’ve finished or reviewed a book. As soon as you have an account, you can also start looking for books you've read or that you want to read. Once you finish reading a book, you can go to the book page and review it.‎ Finding your next book has never been easier. Now, not only can you search for books you know you want to read and add them to your “to read” list, but you can also easily see what your friends have recently read.‎ If you are looking for a book club that meets in your area, you can search for that on Goodreads, too. Similarly, if you want to create your own book club, you can do that easily: just start a new group on Goodreads and update the page to show what books you’re reading.‎ ‎25. If you want to use Goodreads, you must have ________.‎ A. an email address B. a book review C. an account D. a book list ‎26. What can you do with a “to read” list?‎ A. You can review books you have recently read.‎ B. You can make your selection process even easier.‎ C. You can know what you want to read next.‎ D. You can see what books your friends enjoyed.‎ ‎27. If you want to set up a book club on the Internet, you should ________.‎ A. inform others about book club meetings in time B. update information about what books you are reading C. search for your old group on Goodreads D. refer to book clubs on Goodreads daily ‎28. The passage is most probably taken from ________.‎ A. a research paper B. a news report ‎ ‎ C. a website article D. a travel guide C Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.‎ Open the curtains and turn on the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places----and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.‎ Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites(胃口、食欲). In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room ate 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.‎ Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.‎ Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入） jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.‎ ‎29. The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.‎ A. their home comforts B. house buying ‎ C. their body shape D. healthy diets ‎30. A home environment in blue can help people_________.‎ A. digest food better B. reduce food intake C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites ‎31. What are people advised to do at mealtimes？‎ A. Use smaller spoons .B Play fast music.‎ C. Eat quickly. D. Turn down the lights.‎ ‎32. What can be a suitable title for the test?‎ A. Ways of Serving Dinner B. Is Your House Making You Fat C. Effects of Self-Consciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing D Nola (August 21, 1974 -November 22, 2015) was a northern white rhino（犀牛） who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 2, is to raise awareness(意识) of the less than 30,000 other rhinos left on Earth.‎ ‎“Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow,”Nola’s lead keeper Jane Kennedy said. “Last year we lost over 1,200 rhinos just in South Africa. If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.”‎ ‎“Unfortunately, most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans,” Kennedy says.“ Humans have either poached animals, or because there are over seven billion of us, we’ ve taken up too much of the world’s resources ”. Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns. They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, to be used for art, jewelry, and decorations.Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours.‎ In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell (细胞) samples from more than 8,000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers.‎ Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as “a celebration of rhinos along with ‎ an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.”At the San Diego Zoo, children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos. But you don’ t have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day. It is observed around the world, with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos, and enable them to see the animals up close. For more information, go to www.worldrhinoday.org.‎ ‎33. What troubled Jane Kennedy according to Paragraph 2?‎ A. The rhinos’ uncertain future. B. The rhinos’ strange activities.‎ C. The limited natural resources. D. The rare animals in South Africa.‎ ‎34. What does the Frozen Zoo aim to do?‎ A. Invent new kinds of animals. B. Keep animals from dying out.‎ C. Prevent rhinos from being hunted. D. Raise public awareness of rhinos.‎ ‎35. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?‎ A. To help people know more about animals. ‎ B. To encourage people to protect rhinos.‎ C. To report special events in San Diego. ‎ D. To introduce World Rhino Day.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ You're growing up. That means you're probably experiencing lots of changes, all at once. Your body is changing. It might even seem as if your entire self is changing. It can be confusing and even scary. 36 And it's good!‎ ‎ Growing up means that you can do more, learn more, and start to make your mark on the world. In order for that to happen, your body produces chemicals called hormones that help both body and mind grow. Hormone levels change constantly, rising and falling. 37 But it's partly to blame for intense emotions, surprising reactions, and mood swings.‎ ‎ Because of the way your brain develops, it is somewhat ruled by emotion now and through your teen years. As a result, growing up can seem like an emotional roller ‎ coaster! 38 ‎ ‎ ▲Take care of yourself. If you eat right, sleep enough, and get good exercise, your brain will be much more able to deal with the stress.‎ ‎▲ 39 When you feel your moods swinging or you are upset, or confused, some quiet time will allow you to gather your thoughts and get calmer.‎ ‎▲ Practice relaxing your body and deep breathing when you wake up and when you go to bed. 40 Plus, when stuff happens during the day, you'll be able to calm yourself quickly with a deep breath or two before you react. ‎ A. Take a time-out.‎ B. But the truth is, it happens to every teen.‎ C. Work out regularly to keep physically fit.‎ D. This changing is needed for your body's development.‎ E. It will help you fall asleep and start the morning right.‎ F. Here are a few things you can do to make the ride smoother.‎ G. Usually, these feelings settle down when you realize what is going on.‎ 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）‎ I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store.

I am really delighted to know that you are going to give us a lecture on body Language.‎ As far as I know, body language plays an important part in people's communication even when we don't speak the same language, we can still make ourselves understood by gestures and body movements. Many gestures and body movements, such as smile and shaking hands, are universal, which are accepted by people from most places around the world.‎ However, because of different cultures, there are also lots of differences in body language. We are really interested in how to communicate with people, especially Americans, through body language in order to avoid misunderstandings. Could you lay emphasis on this topic and we hope you can give us some vivid examples.‎ Looking forward to listening to your lecture.‎ Yours, LiHua 听力原文：‎ Text 1‎ W: What time do you usually get up, Bill? ‎ M: Around six.
