26、   Josh Bangert was playing basketball this summer when he noticed the vision in his left eye was blurry（模糊）. The 15-years-old ignored it, believing he just needed glasses. But when he went to the doctor a few weeks later, he was told he had a disease that no surgery（手术）could treat. He would likely lose his sight by the end of the year. Josh was frustrated.

The next morning, Josh began to accept his fate. What came next was an incredible show of support for the student. One of his mother's friends suggested Josh make a bucket list of things he wanted to see and turn to a GoFundMe for the expenses of the trips. Within 24 hours, his father got a message on his phone: They had hit their $20,000（139,000 yuan）goal. More than 450 people have given almost 36,000. The community response is just amazing. With help from the donations, the Bangert family took Josh to the Bulls' first preseason game. A highlight of the night was when Bulls cookie（新手）Chandler Hutchison shot a 3-pointer. Other things on his list: mountains, the ocean, the desert, Niagara Falls, snorkeling, white-water rafting.

The disease is known to progress fairly rapidly, often starting in one eye and moving to the other, according to Dr. Timothy J. In spite of it, the family is flying to San Francisco so Josh can cross the mountains and see the ocean. "Whatever money is left after Josh goes through his list will be spent on medical research," his mother said, "and this is bigger than just our son Josh, bigger than his bucket list. I don't know what it's going to lead to, but Josh said from the start that if he loses his sight, it's for a good reason. We're seeing that. We're confirming that."

【1】Why was Josh's left eye blurry?

A.He always ignored the eye protection.

B.He developed an incurable disease in the eye.

C.An accident in a surgery accounted for it.

D.He had the eye injured when playing basketball.

【2】What is "GoFundMe" in paragraph 2?

A.A donation platform. B.A health care center.

C.A nursing home. D.A volunteer organization.

【3】In face of the eye disease, Josh did all of the following EXCEPT________.

A.make a list of thing that he wanted to see

B.try to get help for the expenses of his trips

C.go to watch Bulls' first preseason game with his family

D.borrow money from his neighbors to treat the disease

【4】What can we learn from what Josh' mother said?

A.Josh can't accept his disease after all.

B.The family will give up the treatment on Josh.

C.They will give the remaining money to medical research.

D.They plan to go on another trip after finishing the bucket list.

27、   You may think that light pollution isn’t something extraordinarily important. You may believe that every other type of pollution has a larger impact on the environment than light pollution does. But light pollution is serious.

Light pollution, or “sky glow”, is the glow you can see at night above cities and towns. Light pollution is a problem that has been accompanying man ever since he started his first fire some 15,000 years ago. Light pollution is the light that comes from streetlights, buildings, parking lots and any other source of light that is reflected or directed into the atmosphere.

Urban light pollution means that one-fifth of the world’s population can no longer see the Milky Way with the naked eye(肉眼). Many city kids, even if they did look through the orange smog above their heads, would probably see only a handful of stars. We have lost our view of the stars, and we have mucked up our night-time environment as well. Astronomers are calling for the dark places on Earth to be preserved as national parks.

Lots of people find the ever-brightening night annoying, and animals that are programmed to prefer the dark may avoid a brightened habitat. Sea turtles can get lost searching for a beach to lay eggs, and their hatchlings(孵化的幼仔)may confuse over-lit beachfront resorts for the ocean horizon, wasting precious energy needed to find the sea and escape predators(食肉动物). Because their necks aren’t yet long enough to see things far away, baby turtles rely on the mirror image of the moon to guide them to the sea, to begin their new life. A car may even hit a particular turtle, which was thinking the light from a nearby city was moonlight reflecting off the ocean waves. Birds that live in and around cities can die because of sky glow, too. The bright lights can blind them, leading to countless collisions with buildings and other tall structures.

On an individual level, people can help reduce much sky glow by using lighting only when necessary. The stars above us are priceless heritage— for not only for astronomers but for all humans. More of our children should be able to look up at night and see the Milk Way.

【1】According to Para.2, light pollution_________.

A. has existed for nearly a century

B. is mainly caused by the light at night

C. doesn’t include the light coming from buildings

D. refers to the light only shining directly into the atmosphere

【2】The underlined phrase “mucked up” in Para. 3 probably means_________.

A. protected B. blamed

C. praised D. spoiled

【3】To find the sea, baby sea turtles mainly depend on_________.

A. the moon B. the ocean waves

C. the sky glow D. the mirrors

【4】The author mentions the Milk Way in the last paragraph to show that_________.

A. light pollution isn’t something important

B. the Milk Way can’t be seen with naked eye

C. we should take action to reduce light pollution

D. most kids are looking forward to seeing the Milk Way

28、   Ask people to name a safe place and most will say “home”. But every year the British Government produces its official Home Accident Survey, which shows that home can be a dangerous place. Last year 7 British citizens died while putting up their Christmas decorations. Over 1,600 needed medical help after falling off their chairs. And 70 people had fatal accidents while lying in bed. 【1】

Modern societies are designed to be safe. 【2】 “Extreme sports”, such as bungee jumping and skiing down cliffs(悬崖), are becoming more and more popular. Psychologists call this “ self-actualization”. They mean a desire to be different and stand out from the crowd.

【3】 But they will take risks in other areas. For example, they risk failure when they start new businesses. This is a more acceptable risk than mountain climbing. Even when people fail, they are still alive. It is possible to say that the whole world economy simply consists of people deciding whether to take risks or not.

Maybe it is safer to keep your head down at work. Perhaps now is not the time for that great business idea. Shouldn't we just play it safe? But this too is risky. 【4】 This is why, according to the Home Accident Survey, twice as many people fall from short ladders as from long ones.

【5】 It sharpens up the mind's decision-making processes. This may date from the onrigins of human civilization. Our remote ancestors were faced with a choice. Leaving their cave might mean being eaten by wild animals. But staying in the cave meant starving for certain. They took the risk and society was born.

A.Most people do not want to risk their lives.

B.It may well be that we need risk as a kind of mental training.

C.It is safe to say that no activity is without danger.

D.If we refuse to take any risks then we limit our ability to think clearly.

E.Yet this produces a desire in some people to look for danger.

F.Maybe you will try to keep away from what is too dangerous.

G.This proves that danger is usually caused by people themselves.

29、Trees are commonly cut down for wood and paper. 【1】. The unique chemical process that trees and plants use to turn light energy from the sun into oxygen is known as photosynthesis (光合作用).

【2】

The production of oxygen is a result of photosynthesis, but it is not the main purpose of this process. 【3】. Plants create their own food through photosynthesis. During this process, a plant’s roots absorb water from the ground, and its leaves take in light energy and carbon dioxide. The plant uses these elements to make fats and proteins that are then used to maintain the plant’s life.

The process of photosynthesis

The first step in photosynthesis is using the sun’s energy. During this process, chlorophyll (叶绿素) absorbs the light energy of the sun. The energy from the sun then acts upon the water absorbed by the roots of the plant. Carbon dioxide sent into the atmosphere by animals and humans is then absorbed by the plant’s leaves and paired with the hydrogen to produce sugar. The sugar is turned into plant food. 【4】.

Threats to tree photosynthesis

【5】. Today, only about 30 percent of Earth’s land is covered in trees. This is contributing to global warming since trees are necessary to consume the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Experts believe planting trees is vital in order to ensure the preservation of the delicate balance that enables photosynthesis.

A．The purposes of photosynthesis

B．The advantages of photosynthesis

C．In fact, oxygen is simply a by product

D．It is also responsible for giving plants their green color

E．During this process, extra oxygen is produced and released

F．The trees that change carbon dioxide into oxygen are disappearing rapidly

G．But the greatest value of trees comes from their ability to turn the sun’s energy into chemical energy

32、Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people are _________ in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I _________ notices in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to contact me.

Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my _________ . Over the years I interviewed them, watched their lives and had them _________ various experiments.

I carried out a simple _________ to discover whether their differences in luck was due to differences in their ability to _________ opportunities. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had _________ placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $ 50.”

This _________ took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to _________ it and the lucky people tended to spot it.

Unlucky people are generally more __________ than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the__________.

They look through newspapers __________to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.

Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there__________ just what they are looking for.

34、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Driving an electric car 【1】 to the protection of environment, or so the marketing departments of their makers would have you believe. Yet a report which analyzes car emissions presents a rather different picture. A battery-powered car recharged with 【2】 generated by coal-fired power stations, it found, is likely to be more harmful. It could cause more than three times as many deaths from pollution as a 【3】 petrol-driven vehicle.

The study was carried out by the University of Minnesota. The researchers estimated how levels of fine particulate matter (细颗粒物) and ground-level ozone — two important 【4】 of air pollution — would change when a car is powered by different ways.

It was no surprise that electric cars whose batteries were recharged with power from wind, solar or hydro-electric sources came out to be virtually free from harmful 【5】. They were estimated to cause 231 deaths over the course of a year, compared with 878 for petrol cars. Electric cars recharged with power from natural gas-fired stations were also a lot less harmful than petrol-driven ones, with 439 deaths. But if those same electric cars were recharged 【6】 by coal, they would be responsible for over 3,000 deaths.

Biofuels also caused more health problems than petrol. But diesel, which often  【7】 concern about pollution, is slightly cleaner than petrol. This is because the study assumes for all cars that emission-control technologies will be more widely used, especially particulate filters which have a remarkable effect on cleaning diesel 【8】. Diesel cars are also more 【9】 of fuel than petrol-driven ones.

Overall, the study shows that electric cars are cleaner than those traditional vehicles only if the power used to charge then is also clean. That is hardly a surprise, but the 【10】 of the difference is. How green electric cars really are, then, will depend mainly on where they are driven. In France, which obtains more than half of its power from nuclear station, electric cars look like a good bet. In China and some other developing countries, where a large amount of electricity is produced from coal, they may not be so environment- friendly as they are marketed.

A: What will you do when you finish the experiment?

B: We must put e【7】back in the cupboards and wash our hands.

A: Right. It is very i【8】to keep the lab clean.

B: Yes, safe as well. We must turn off the e【9】before l【10】the lab.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.

We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.

The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression, which can be 【1】 back to 500 years ago. The expression is used to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.

Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in “hot water”. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult 【2】. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. The problem is too deep.

40、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?

Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian clothes. People have become conditioned to expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?

Uniforms also have many practical good points. They are often more comfortable and more lasing than civilian clothes.

Primary fact among the argument against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they are likely to think, speak, and act similarly on the job at least.

Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.

41、请阅读下面文字，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

Matt: Have you seen the report about artificial intelligence (AI) from the World Economic Forum (WEF) ?

Mathew: Oh,yes. It says that robots will create twice the number of jobs that they will destroy.

Matt: Anyway, it is terrible news for the old generations with low-skilled jobs.

Mathew: Exactly! But many middle-class roles are also at risk, such as financial analysis, accountants and lawyers.

Matt：Then I think there will be a huge change in the structure of workforce.

Mathew: Exactly. That’s why many managers expect a change from full-time work to flexible(灵活的) employment with a focus on productivity.

Matt: Improving productivity. Mm...,brilliant idea.

Mathew: Without doubt, all industries require their workers to reskill,especially travel and tuorism industries.
