And in the following cities, these gestures are second nature, with locals who are quick to welcome visitors and neighbors alike.‎ Dublin, Ireland Dublin is home to some of the warmest people on the planet. One of Europe’s smaller capital cities, Dublin also benefits from a low crime rate and a widespread feeling of security(安全), so residents(居民) are more likely to lend a stranger a helping hand. Locals speak in soft tones in public. Talking too loudly in public gives the impression of being careless at best, and rude at worst.‎ Auckland, New Zealand New Zealand’s biggest city is also the country’s friendliest, perhaps because many of its residents are immigrants(移民). People have come from all over the world and understand what it is like to have moved to a different place, so it is welcoming for tourists and new residents. Also, the city is surrounded by amazing scenery and things. That’s got to make people a bit happier, and therefore friendlier.‎ Charleston, United States This city has a quiet outdoor environment that helps keep residents in good spirits. Even when you go to the department of motor vehicles, you get a smile. Like many southern US cities, Charleston moves at a slower pace. People take time to sit outside, talk to neighbors and walk to dinner.‎ Victoria, Canada A popular tourist destination with a busy cruise port, the capital of British Columbia is known for first-rate customer service and kind hosts. Even the post men and women are super friendly and often say “good morning”. It’s got a small town and big city feel all at the same time.‎ ‎21. What can be inferred from the underlined part?‎ A. The behavior of locals does not represent their true nature.‎ B. It is likely that locals would be unwilling to welcome visitors.‎ C. Locals perform the acts naturally and without thinking.‎ D. Locals do not feel at home in these busy cities.‎ ‎22. In which city are locals more likely to understand tourists and new residents?‎ A. Dublin. B. Auckland. C. Charleston. D. Victoria.‎ ‎23. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To introduce the tourism in some cities.‎ B. To show the friendliness of different cities.‎ C. To make a comparison between some cities.‎ D. To analyze the nature of people from different countries.‎ B He slept in my arms last night, with his little head on my shoulder. I stayed awake listening to his breathing. He smiled in his sleep, and I wondered what could be funny to a one-year-old baby. I could sense the safety he felt.‎ However, my home life is completely different from the scene that greets me each morning at work. As a lawyer at Eastlake Juvenile Court (少年法庭), I always see kids that society has labeled the worst of the worst, the “thief”, the “robber”, the list goes on. But they are still children. As I sit across from them, I have a chance to talk to them about their lives, their homes, and their dreams. I sit through tears, I sit through anger, but mostly I sit through hurt. I see their parents, most of whom sit in the hallways day after day wanting to take their kids home. I also see mothers and fathers that come to the court ready to walk away from their children forever. Each day I see hope destroyed.‎ I have come to realize that these children are our future, even if we don’t want to admit it. They also want to sleep on a mother’s shoulder at night, they also had dreams and smiled in their sleep when they were babies. But then something terrible happened, which robbed them of that youth, that hope, and that joy. I hope one day we can find how to put back the destroyed childhoods and ruined lives. ‎ Every day when I go home, I hold my children tightly in my arms and say “I love you” over and over again. And as I am filled with hope, I cannot forget those children I leave behind. I live in two worlds, one of promise, one of tragedy. No matter what they ‎ are accused (指控) of, what crimes (罪行) they have carried out and what society thinks of them, they are children, they are our children and our future. ‎ ‎24. The author mentions her son in Paragraph 1 mainly to tell readers _____. ‎ A. her son is lovely ‎ B. it’s hard to raise a child ‎ C. what leads children to break laws ‎ D. children should be taken good care of ‎ ‎25. The underlined word “labeled” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by _____. ‎ A. described B. praised C. chosen D. designed ‎ ‎26. What’s the author’s attitude towards the children who break laws? ‎ A. Relaxed. B. Angry. C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful. ‎ ‎27. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? ‎ A. To show her deep love for her child. ‎ B. To win support for problem children. ‎ C. To show the difficulty of her work as a lawyer. ‎ D. To accuse those parents who ruin their children’s life. ‎ C More than 20 Chinese and American experts discovered that young people of both countries are facing the same problems of economic and social pressures and lack of confidence.‎ Wayne Meisel, director of the Campus Outreach Opportunity League of Minnesota University, said that under economic pressure American young people have to work hard and most students have to take part-time work in order to support themselves.‎ ‎ In these circumstances, he said, young people lack confidence, which was not the case in the 1960s when young people thought themselves capable of doing anything.‎ ‎ In spite of the different conditions in China, Li Xuequan, director of the higher education section of the All-China Youth Federation, said Chinese young people are also facing economic pressure and are worried about inflation(通货膨胀) and corruption(腐败).‎ ‎ In order to solve these problems, the Chinese and American experts agreed that youth ‎ organization should call on the whole of society to create favorable conditions for the healthy growth of young people, as well as to encourage them to meet the urgent needs of society.‎ ‎ Meisel said that since last year he has sent letters of “challenge to youth” to many young people, urging them to commit themselves to meeting such needs as feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, caring for the lonely and sick, serving the elderly and preserving the environment.‎ ‎ The letter says: “Through the service, we touch the lives of others and enrich our own.”‎ ‎28. What is the main factor that leads to young people’s lack of confidence in both countries?‎ A. Their laziness B. Their education C. Part-time jobs D. Economic pressure ‎29. What is the possible situation in the 1960s?‎ A. Young people lacked confidence as well. ‎ B. Young people in America were able to do anything well.‎ C. Young people were quite confident in America.‎ D. Young Chinese people were very confident. ‎ ‎30. The word “commit” can be replaced by _____.‎ A. devote B. help C. express D. keep ‎31. The passage is mainly about _____ in the two countries.‎ A. lack of confidence of the young people B. approaches to touching the lives of others C. challenges for the young people D. problems of the young people and ways to solve them D Autonomous (自动的) cars, self-driving cars, robotic cars, or driverless cars -whatever you call them - are coming to a showroom (陈列室) near you.‎ It might take a couple of years, but few people at the Geneva Motor Show would disagree that one day science fantasy will become reality.‎ However, while Google, BMW, Ford and IBM have been working on the technology , less attention has been given to what it means for passengers. The Swiss company, Rinspeed, has tried to show the future with its concept car（概念车）Xchange.‎ ‎"I wanted to put the passenger at the centre of what is possible, not the autonomous driving technology," says Rinspeed's founder Frank Rinderknecht. "Travelling in a driverless car will no longer require me to stare at the road, but will let me spend my time in a more meaningful way. You can work, sleep, read, or do whatever activities you might do on a train or a plane.‎ ‎"But driverless cars will not mean the death of driving", Mr Rinderknecht says. There will be times when a driver will want to drive. "Most driving is boring because you are just driving miles and miles. If I go on the motorway from London to Birmingham, it's not very joyful. However, if I go over a mountain road, I want to drive myself and I don't want the machine to do it."‎ The safety matter will be a big challenge for companies of autonomous cars.‎ Mr Rinderknecht is already thinking beyond this concept car. "There will come a time when we will be travelling in a container, with no airbags or seatbelts because the chances of an accident will be so small." But the real challenge may not be technological, but emotional. Convincing people to travel in a driverless car will be difficult.‎ ‎"We know that nine out of ten plane crashes are due to pilot's error. But if you go to Heathrow Airport and you are required to make a choice between planes with two pilots or with no pilot, I know which one you will trust. It may require a generation before people accept it, but it will happen", he says.‎ ‎32. When developing its Xchange concept car, Rinspeed has focused on______‎ A. ensuring the cars' safety B. advancing car-making skills C. improving passengers' riding experience D. developing autonomous driving technology ‎33. According to Mr Rinderknecht, what will be the real challenge for driverless cars?‎ A. Ensuring their complete safety. B. Persuading people to accept ‎ them.‎ C. Making them affordable to the public. D. Setting out relative laws and rules.‎ ‎34. According to Mr Rinderknecht, in the future________‎ A. driverless cars will be safer B. driverless cars will help save more gas C. driverless cars will be environmentally friendly D. driving driverless cars will become interesting ‎35. What's Mr Rinderknechnt's attitude towards the future of driverless cars?‎ A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Uncertain. D. Confident.‎ 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。‎ ‎ With so many other ways to get information these days, do we still need books? Old habits die hard，and are passed from generations. 36 Well，that is an ideal world.‎ ‎ I think it comes from the educational side of life. If you have a good experience in school with books，then reading on after school years won't be a problem. For me I did very well in English language and literature as I had an inspiring and interesting English teacher. 37 The creative side of you should always come first and then the technical mistakes can be corrected.‎ ‎ 38 If you casually read to your children，then the books will always be there in their lives and by the time reading comes along at the age of 4-5 years old, it will all be fun and make sense. Books are very important to learning.‎ ‎ 39 However，it requires reading and reading requires practice. I believe we should relax while learning and digesting facts and information, and this can only be done with the simple book. 40 Then expand on and use the technology available, like e-books to make things convenient. But when you are not in a rush or while on a sunny beach, spending time with your children，what could be better than holding that book in your hands and feeling the achievement of getting to the last page?‎ A. Learn the basic habit of reading a book first.‎ B. It's difficult to get children to read books today.‎ C. Reading e-books is a better way to digest facts and information.‎ D. If your parents read to you，you will read to your children and so on.‎ E. Starting reading early is very important to children’s friendship with books.‎ F. He let us write our stories freely without correcting our spelling right away.‎ G. Searching on the Internet and getting information is fine and necessary at the moment.‎ 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，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A little boy almost considered himself as the most unfortunate child in the world because a terrible illness made his leg lame (瘸的).
