Even those who describe themselves as color-blind are normally just color lack. A strongly, color-blind person will still be able to tell 20 different colors, compared to the 100 or so that normal-sighted people see. Pingelap, a tiny island in the Pacific, is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble. It is known as Color-blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see black and white. Not being able to see colors is bad enough. But one islander, Herrol, who’s a fisherman, also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt-out image. “I find it difficult to go outside in the sun,” he says, “because when it’s sunny I cannot see to do my work.” But if being truly color-blind is rare, why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap live in a totally black and white world? Well, we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami ( 海 啸 ). As few as 20 people survived, one of whom was the king. It’s believed he had a genetic fault that causes colour-blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations. There is one advantage. Herrol can see well, really well, in the dark. So when it gets dark, Herrol and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish. They hang up flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames. “This type of fishing is fun,” Herrol says, “especially if we catch plenty. So even though it's hard work we enjoy it.” 21.What makes Pingelap special? A. A mentally troubled island. B. A beautiful island. C. A colour-blind island. D. A tiny island. 22. Which statement about Herrol is probably correct? A. He doesn’t live in Pingelap any more. B. He likes taking photos very much. C. He is interested in burnt-out images. D. He may stay at home when it’s sunny. 23.About one-tenth of people in Pingelap are seriously color-blind because __________. A. the king’s genetic fault played a role B. the king had an unlucky marriage C. the king made a serious mistake D. Pingelap often suffers from tsunamis 24.What would be the best title for the text? A. The advantage of color blindness. B. The island of color blindness. C. The disadvantage of Herrol. D. The history of Pingelap. B Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying voice across cultures. Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrin k and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger genera- tions. It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture. “Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite.”Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.” Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same.” says Moran. Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party. “just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music.” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight (感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.” 25.What is the purpose of UNESCO to set April 30 as International Jazz Day? A. To emphasize the significance of jazz. B. To protect musical diversity. C. To remember the birth of jazz. D. To encourage people to study music. 26.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The production of jazz growing faster. B. Jazz losing its appeal for the young. C. The jazz audience becoming larger. D. Jazz becoming more accessible. 27.What does Moran’s opinion on jazz imply? A. It remains black and white. B. It will disappear gradually. C. It changes every 50 years. D. It should keep up with the times. C Imagine possessing something that you loved so much. Imagine what it would feel like if you lost it. While that item may be something as simple as a doll, you would still feel very upset, but you could replace it with a new one. Now imagine losing something that you depend on for survival and cannot be replaced. That is what it would be like if we lost the natural environment around us. Firstly, I believe the environment should be preserved because it supports human life. One of the largest examples is that we get all of our food and drinks from the environment. If the environment were to be destroyed beyond revival, then the human race would be over in months. Scientists have yet to find another planet with similar conditions to the Earth, and if it’s found, we don’t have the technology to get to that planet on time. Secondly, I believe that the environment serves as an amazing educational tool for students. When I was in second grade, I had an absolute interest in animals. When we had a field trip to the Daggerwing Nature Center, I was very excited. When we got there, I could hardly believe what I was seeing. There was a bridge to get to the main building, and under the bridge was a small swamp (沼泽) with turtles, fish, and my personal favorite, alligators. I was so surprised that I almost ran into the tour guide. We walked into the building and saw various animals in their habitats. I was so inspired by this visit. Six years later, I have taken an animal behavior class for three weeks. Meeting by chance with the environment can inspire people, and if preserved it will continue to inspire people. In conclusion, the environment is so valuable because it can’t be replaced, keeps us alive, and serves as a great educational tool. 28. The first paragraph leads to the theme of the text by __________. A. describing a process B. presenting differences C. analyzing causes D. showing similarities 29. The underlined word “revival” in the paragraph 2 is the nearest in meaning to __________. A. health B. recovery C. activity D. revision 30. Why did the author take a class on animal behavior? A. Because his teacher encouraged him to do so. B. Because he wanted to be an animal expert. C. Because he was inspired by animals he once saw. D. Because he thought it a promising subject. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Why the Environment Is So Important B. Which Planet Can Replace the Earth C. How People Should Protect the Environment D. What People Can Do to Stop Pollution D We all know cameras. But have you heard of Google’s new camera? It is a small, smart device, called Clips. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it's not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own. This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smart phone. Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms ( 计 算 程 序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there’s a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child’s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse. The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing. Did people think it was strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that the device is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet. “This product is only possible because of the way that technology has advanced,” Payne said. It was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets. 32. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips? A. It is equipped with tough glass. B. It enables easy Internet access. C. It allows of hands-free photography. D. It can be worn on your clothing. 33. What does the underlined word “candid” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Brief. B. Touching. C. Unforgettable. D. Embarrassing. 34. What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne? A. The popularity of the Internet. B. The advance in technology. C. The rise of the smart phone industry. D. The reduction in the price of lens. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. An Alternative Way to Photograph B. New Gadgets in the Age of Apps C. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life D. A New Digital Camera from Google 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 most successful people all have certain habits in their daily routines. These habits help contribute to their success. Forming a new good habit can be a struggle, but it is well worth the effort. 36 Set your goal. Before you can begin to work on your new habit, figure out exactly what you hope to accomplish. 37 Make sure that your goal is specific, measurable and realistic to increase your chances of success. 38 Choosing the habits that are most likely to help you achieve your goal is important. After you have set your goal and worked out all the specifics of achieving that goal, identify a habit that is part of achieving that goal. Consider what good habit would help you accomplish that goal. Consider your motivation. Once you have identified your goal and the new habit you need to accomplish this goal, take some time to consider your motivation. 39 Good motivation can be the difference between success and failure in terms of forming a new habit. So take your time to consider your motivation. Give yourself time. Forming a new habit can take a long time. Some people can form a new habit in as little as a few weeks, while other people will take several months. As you work to form your new habit, just keep in mind that it may be a while before it comes true. 40 A. Identify ways to achieve goals. B. Find the habit you want to form. C.

III.完型填空 （共 20 小题；每小题 1 分, 满分 20 分） Be a Traveler, not a Tourist I have been dreaming of travelling for a long time.

Excited for my dreaming journey, I packed all the necessities—except the 41 .

Honestly, my main 43 with the guidebook is that I find it 44 the pleasure of a journey — just like a bossy aunt who is always telling you what to do, 45 she doesn’t always know what is the best. Experience has taught me that there is an obvious 46 between a tourist and traveler. While waiting in a queue, I met a man who had a checklist. He showed me a list of “Top 20 Things To Do in Italy” and 47 off in a loud American accent that he’d seen everything Italy offers in just four days. The problem that I had with this man’s 48 to travelling was that he was too 49 information provided by his guidebook. He was unaware that he was already totally lost in the 50 attractiveness of the so-called “must-sees” and 51 to all the wonders and adventures that might happen during the 52 trip.

Now I'd like to tell you something about the haze. Since the end of last year, the haze weather has occurred a lot of times in my hometown, which has done great harm to our daily life. Many traffic accidents happened because of the heavy smog. What is worse, many people have to see the doctor due to the serious diseases caused by the haze. People have to wear masks when they go outside for fear of the poisonous air. Having realized the harmful effects on people's life and health and the importance of protecting the environment, people all over the country are taking measures to reduce the haze. The government suggests people go to work or school by public transport, such as the bus and the subway. As for me, I will go to school by bike or on foot. In addition, I will tell the people I meet to protect the environment. Would you like to tell me some good ideas? I am looking forward to your reply.
