One of the popular features of WhatsApp is that users_____________________.‎ A. can send and receive messages for free B. can enjoy live video chats within groups C. regularly set free stickers and emoticons D. don’t need to worry about unwanted ads B I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a total stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a noisy mall. I have always hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place or when I am rushing around.‎ Yesterday, I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage because I just had the time to do it after many days of planning. After the purchase in one of the large shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot but my phone was dead.‎ I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage to ring the number of my driver for me and she replied that it was the shop policy that they cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.‎ I got out of the shop onto the busy street in front and approached a young mother with her two kids to make a request. As soon as I said “Excuse me, madam”, she grabbed both her kids and ran. I felt like a kidnapper.‎ I stood there, wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the young mum. I stood there in the busy street with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on their faces.‎ I saw a man pretty shabbily dressed. He seemed to have noticed me and I just stopped him expecting him to rush past. My request escaped the lips. He immediately called the number of my driver and waited till my car came to be sure I was picked up, and he turned around before I could thank him adequately and was gone. I was surprised by his kindness and hope I will do likewise to strangers who try to catch my attention from now on.‎ ‎24.

However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on until now. Recently, Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible（可变换的） standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of a button. The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one, and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.‎ Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity. Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have even installed treadmill (跑步机) and bicycle desks.‎ The desk is not the first “convertible” on the market. As early as 2013, Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk. The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, changing it into a standing desk or a traditional desk. The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly, making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the user to change their positions. To move between sitting and standing positions, owners simply double tap on the screen. The desk can learn the user’s preferences over time and suggest the best seating position.‎ The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex-Apple and Disney engineers. It has a built-in touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working day. It also has devices containing power ‎ points and USB ports for charging phones, to keep cables hidden.‎ ‎“ Ikea’s height-adjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market, ’’ said JP Labrosse, founder and CEO of Stir.‎ ‎28. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Ikea has brought out an adjustable standing desk.‎ B. Silicon Valley offered health benefits to officials.‎ C. Google formed their tech firms to design bicycle desks.‎ D. The Stir Kinect desk will become mainstream in the market.‎ ‎29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?‎ A. Before Bekant desk, similar adjustable desks have been widely used.‎ B. The seated desks will take the place of the standing desks in the future.‎ C. Compared to the Stir Kinect desk, the Bekant desk is much cheaper.‎ D. The adjustable desks were designed by the Apple and Disney Company.[‎ ‎30. The Stir Kinect desk______.‎ A. can breathe in and breathe out by pressing the button once B. can charge phones by using a device containing power point C. can tell you how many calories you need for a walk D. can advise you to do more exercise at a proper time ‎31. What can we infer from the last sentence given by JP Labrosse?‎ A. Ikea’s adjustable desk will be popular with average people.‎ B. Ikea will have to sell furniture at a lower price in the future.‎ C. This height adjustable table can only be found in Ikea.‎ D. It is not necessary for Ikea to open up the market at all.‎ D I began cycling in 2004 when I was a poor student. It was dangerous, sure, but cycling is the fastest, cheapest point-to-point form of transport in Melbourne. I own a car now, but that’s just for transporting the baby or groceries.‎ I hate driving. So it’s been quite encouraging watching the growth in cyclist numbers over the past decade. It is estimated that 10,000-plus cyclists enter the CBD (Central Business District) each day, taking pressure off public transport. But as more people take to cycling as ‎ a mode of transport, the number of cyclists seriously injured or killed keeps climbing. And that is a sign that our infrastructure (基础设施) is still not good enough.‎ Melbourne was once a dream for cyclists-flat, long, wide roads, with plenty of paths along rivers. Now, cycling can be deadly, with roads dominated by cars. I have a friend who broke her back and was lucky to escape paralysis, and others with broken bones. In my time riding, I’ve been forced off the road by a truck, cut off by four-wheel drives, and told to get off the road.‎ These things don’t exactly happen to trams and buses, those other slow coaches on Melbourne’s roads. No—drivers reserve a particular savagery (残暴行为) for cyclists. And that’s a sign of exactly one thing: inadequate infrastructure.‎ We shouldn’t need to be taught how to coexist in the same narrow space. Drivers and cyclists should be kept apart. The present debate over how to minimize “dooring” is a distraction.‎ Dooring is not a legal problem. You cannot legislate (制定法律) it away. Designing bike paths so riders are channelled between moving cars and parked cars is deadly. All it takes is one daydreaming driver to fling open the door and you are gone. That’s what happened to the young university student James Cross.‎ This year, there are to be new anti-dooring lanes (车道) built on Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn, where Cross died in 2010. But these lanes are not safe. Cyclists must still pass between two rows of cars.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. Some people hating driving.‎ B. More people choosing to cycle.‎ C. More cyclists having accidents.‎ D. Distracted driving happening a lot.‎ ‎33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ A. Many people are bad at cycling.‎ B. There are many cars in Melbourne.‎ C. Melbourne was once very beautiful.‎ D. It’s dangerous to cycle in Melbourne.‎ ‎34. Which was the major cause of James Cross’ death according to the author?‎ A. Deadly bike paths.‎ B. A driver’s mistake.‎ C. Cross’ carelessness.‎ D. An outdated legal system.‎ ‎35. What is the purpose of the text?‎ A. To tell a personal story.‎ B. To encourage readers to cycle.‎ C. To criticize rude driving behavior.‎ D. To stress the necessity of safe bike paths.‎ 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填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Long, long ago people couldn’t write and they had no books. But they had stories. People learned the stories by heart and taught new ones to one another. Sometimes it was hard to remember them all. 36. ‎ The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on something made from papyrus (纸沙草) plants. People in other places wanted to learn from the Egyptians to use papyrus.‎ ‎ 37. So, parchment (羊皮纸), made from goatskin, later took its place.‎ In ancient China books looked a little different. People there used ink to write on bamboo or silk. And then they invented paper. Made of trees, paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment. 38. Paper-making later spread to the West, but there was a big problem with these early books. Every single one had to be copied and written by hand.‎ ‎ 39. They carved (雕刻) a page of words into a piece of wood or stone. They could then print the page by spreading ink on the wood or stone and putting it against paper. But it wasn’t until a German printer invented movable, metal letters that books became fast and easy to make. The letters could be used to print copy after copy, and the letters put together again and again to print different pages of words.‎ ‎ 40. Once a luxury (奢侈品) only the rich could buy, they soon became a treasure everyone could enjoy.‎ A. It took years to finish making just one book.‎ B. But papyrus grew mainly in Egypt.‎ C. Things grew a little easier when writing was invented.‎ D. Finally books could be printed by the thousands.‎ E. The Chinese were the first to think of a way to speed things up a little.‎ F. Books in the West didn’t change for a long time after that.‎ G. Its surface was smoother and better for writing on too.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Medical bills were piling, kids needed glasses, cars needed repairs and the dog needed surgery.
