一、完形填空（30分）（2018·杭州市西湖区模拟）
The heavy rain was sudden on a cold night over ten years ago. My bus suddenly stopped at a station 1 the rain. With two kilometers still to go, I was running out of time to 2 my four-year-old daughter from her childcare center. I walked through the water in the pouring rain and 3 arrived at the place, really wet. But I was glad to be only a few minutes late. Now I could face the next 4 .
I had no way of getting home. It was around 6 p.m. and there were no buses and I couldn’t 5 a taxi. Home was too far to walk in the rain. We stood outside the center 6 at the rain pouring down, showing no sign of stopping. I noticed another parent stop the 7 and rush inside to collect his child ten minutes later. I did not 8 him and my thought turned back to my terrible situation.
“How far are you going?” a 9 asked.
I turned around to face the man who’d arrived late to fetch his child. I could 10 believe that there was a chance of a lift and I was too excited to tell him where I lived. He then kindly 11 to take us, saying “I’m going that way.” I was completely wet and didn’t know 12 I’d avoid getting the car seat wet. As if he could not see for himself, I nervously told him that I was wet. 13 , he didn’t seem to mind, and was simply happy to help us.
To this day, I am 14 thankful, and I get goose bumps（鸡皮疙瘩） when I think about the evening that my daughter and I were left in difficulties but for the 15 of this stranger.

二、阅读理解（16分）（2017·绍兴市柯桥区模拟）
Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or mainly you are there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason is, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon become interested in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment（约定）—without buying a book, of course.
This opportunity to keep away from the real life is, I think, the main attraction（吸引） of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. You can walk round such places to your heart’s quietness.
9
If it is a good shop, no clerk will bother you with usual greetings, “Can I help you, sir?” Of course you may want to find out where a special section is. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. However, when he has led you there, the clerk should leave carefully and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.
You have to be careful not to be attracted by different books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel. This kind of things can be very dangerous.
（ ）1. People go into a bookshop for all these reasons except that__________ .
A. they are book-lovers
B. they want to have a meeting
C. there’s a heavy rain outside
D. they want to buy a book as a present
（ ）2. The writer means__________by saying “Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable”.
A. there is nobody knowing you there
B. reading is the most important in life
C. you may free yourself from the real life

（ ）3. The writer thinks that in a good bookshop, the clerk should__________.
A. follow you everywhere
B. always greet you politely
9
C. be interested in selling books
D. leave you alone until you need help
（ ）4. The best title of the passage might be__________.
A. Running a Bookshop
B. Reading More
C. People’s Experience in Bookshops
D. Advice on Buying Books

五、One possible version:
These days more and more teenagers spend too much time on the electronic screens. It’s really bad for their health. Now it’s time to stop phubbing.
First, it has a bad influence on their eyes. It also affects their study because of playing with the electronic products. What’s worse, they communicate less with their family.
9
Some people think that it is necessary for teenagers to do more sports and travel in their free time. It’s also a good way to read books to open up their eyes. And schools should organize more outdoor activities to help them to relax.
In my opinion, hanging out with friends is a good way to stay away from electronic screens. It is also necessary for parents to spend more time talking with their children. Anyway, it’s important for us to lead a healthy life!
