What does vehemently__36___? You know what ___37__ means, and you know how people ___38__when they argue. From this, you can _39____ out that vehemently has something to do with strong __40___ or intense feeling.

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节 ：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项选项的标号涂黑。
A
One evening last summer, when I asked my 14 year old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked me．"What’s a colander(漏勺)?" he asked．
I could only blame myself．In the family, nobody else’s hands went in the sauce
except my own．But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for．
As parents, while we focus on our sons’ confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommates, boyfriends, husbands, or fathers．I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, "What’s for dinner?" So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course．I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no．For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine．One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting．Then he rolled out the piecrust (馅饼皮) and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven．
I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother—he tried to beg not to have sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive— but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping．"I appreciate what you do as a mom," he told me one day．Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there’s nothing masculine (男子气概的) about being helpless．
Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family．That’s what I call a man．I’m glad that I prepared so great a present for my future daughter in-law．
41．Why was the author shocked at her son’s response?
A．Because he was not well behaved．
B．Because he refused to help with dinner．
C．Because he didn’t know the common kitchen tools．
D．Because he was very curious about kitchen tools．
42．In the author’s opinion, some parents pay little attention to _______．
A．building up children’s confidence B．telling kids what is right and wrong
C．preparing children for their future life D．making children live a hard life
43．After learning to do housework, Ray _______．
A．fell in love with sewing B．did other work in the house
C．began to be more hardworking D．acknowledged his mother’s efforts
44．We can infer from the text that Ray _______．
A．made great progress in cooking． B．always thought housework interesting．
C．preferred sewing to cooking． D．was unwilling to learn cooking at first．
45．What would the author like to convey in the text?
A．Useful education for boys B．The importance of housework
C．Boys should be involved in housework． D. Cooking and sewing make boys masculine．

In February, 2015, a South Korean woman was sleeping on the floor when her robot vacuum(吸尘器) ate her hair, forcing her to call for emergency help. It surely isn’t what Stephen Hawking warned us that intelligent devices “mean the end of the human race”. But it does highlight one of the unexpected dangers of inviting robots into our home.
There are many examples of intelligent technology going bad, but more often than not, they involve cheating rather than physical danger.
Meanwhile, increasing evidence suggests that we , especially children, tend to tell our deepest, darkest secrets to human robots. So how do we protect ourselves from giving-away code?
Once you’ve invited a robot into your home, you need to manage your expectations. Movies and marketing may have told us to expect deep interaction with robots friends but we’ve still got a long way to go before they are as socially aware as described. Given the gulf between expectation and reality, it’s important to avoid being tricked.
The message is clear: as robots became increasingly connected to the internet, and able to respond to natural language, you need to especially cautious about figuring out who or what you are talking about.
We also need to think about how information is being stored and shared when it comes to robots that can record our every move. Some recording devices may have been designed for entertainment but can easily be adapted for more dangerous purposes. Take Nixie, the wearable camera that can fly off your wrist at a moment’s notice and take shots around you in the air. It doesn’t take much imagination to see how such technology could be taken advantage of.
Most people protect their secrets in the presence of a recording device. But what happens once we get used to a robot around the house, answering every instruction and call? We may be at risk of letting our guard down, treating them as extended member of our family. If the technology around us is able to record and process speech, images and movement, or listen secretly to us, what will happen to that information? Where will it be stored? Who will have access? If our internet history can be a mirror, these details could be worth their gold weight to advertisement company. If we grow
accustomed to having trustworthy robots getting into our daily lives, our words and deeds could easily become over-exposed.
So, what is the safest way to welcome robots into our homes, public spaces, and social lives? We should be cautiously optimistic that intelligent machines could become enriching companions, while acknowledging that we need to determine strict boundaries for robots.
We might think of expanding the reach of consumer protection agencies or creating new robot-centered policies. Advances in robots may call for a body responsible for the combination of robots with society. There should be someone to turn to should your robot commit a crime, steal your card… or try to eat your hair.
50. The hair-eating story in Paragraph 1 is intended to _______.
A. show the poor quality of the product B. warn us to keep far away from vacuum
C. introduce the topic of the discussion D. appeal to us to take pity on the victim
51. According to the writer, it is wise to ________.
A. tell our deepest, darkest secrets to human robots straightly
B. have deep interaction with robots friends eagerly
C. make robots more socially aware than they are described
D. manage our expectations and adjust our trust towards robots
52. The last two paragraphs are mainly about _______.
A. some reasons why we should be careful with robots
B. some background information of the writer’s conclusion
C. some measures to be taken to deal with the problem
D. some conclusion drawn from a series of experiments
53. The underlined word body in last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. institute B. community C. society D. company
54. The writer’s attitude to our over-trusting robots can best be described as ______.
A. positive B. objective C. pessimistic D. critical
D
Andy is the most unreasonable, pigheaded life form in the world, and he makes me so angry I could scream! Of course, I love him like a brother. I have to because he is my brother. More than that, he is my twin!
That’s right. Andy and Amy (that’s me) have the same curly hair and dark eyes and equally stubborn characters. Yet, though we may look alike, on most issues we usually take completely opposite positions. If I say day, you can count on Andy to say night.
Just this week, the hot topic in school was all about the PTA’S proposal (提议) to adopt a school dress principle. Every student would be required to wear a uniform. Uniforms! Can you imagine? Oh, they would be uniforms in color. The dress style would be sort of loose and free.
Boys would wear white or blue button-down shirts, a school tie, blue or gray pants, and a navy blue blazer (运动夹克). Girls would wear white or blue blouses
or sweaters, blue or gray pants or skirts, along with a navy blue blazer.
Socks or tights could be black, gray, blue, or white. The teachers are divided: Some are in favor of the uniforms, others are opposed. The headmaster has asked the students to express their opinions by voting on the issue before making their decisions. She will have the final word on the dress principle.
I think a dress principle is a good idea. The reason is simple. School is tough enough without worrying about looking cool every single day. The fact is, the less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I can’t tell you how many mornings I look into my closet and just stare, unable to decide what to wear. Of course, there are other mornings when my room looks like a storm had hit it, with bits and pieces of a dozen different possible clothes on the bed and on the floor. I also wouldn’t mind not having to see guys wearing oversized jeans and shirts. And I certainly would welcome not seeing kids showing off designer-labeled clothes.
Andy is surprised at my opinion. He says he can’t believe that I would be willing to give up my all-American teenage birthright by dressing like — well, like a typical teenager. Last night, he even dragged out Mom and Dad’s high school photo albums. What a couple of peace-loving hippies (嬉皮士) they were!
“Bruce Springsteen never wore a school uniform. Bob Dylan wouldn’t have been caught dead in a school uniform!
“If I have to wear a uniform, I won’t feel like me!” he declared.
To which I replied, “So your personal heroes didn’t wear school uniforms. Big deal! They went to high school about a million years ago! I feel sorry for you, brother dear. I had no idea that you are so fragile that you would be completely destroyed by gray or blue pants, a white or blue shirt, a tie, and a blazer.”
That really made him angry. Then he said, “You’re just mimicking (模仿) what you hear that new music teacher saying!”
“That is so not true. I’m saying exactly what I think,” I said, raising my voice in what mom would call “a very rude manner.”
“You have always been stupid, and you know it!” he shouted.
“Is that so? Anyone who doesn’t agree with you is automatically stupid. And that’s the stupidest thing of all!” I said.
Fortunately, the bell rang before we could do each other physical harm, and we went thankfully to our separate classes.
The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day. The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week. I wonder what it will be. I know how I voted, and I’m pretty sure I know how Andy voted.
How would you vote — for or against?
55. Amy and Andy quarrel because .
A. they share a cupboard B. Amy likes to show off
C. they both have the word for dress principle D. they always take the opposite views on issues
56. The story is about .
A. a conflict of opinions between boys and girls
B. a historical event and is told in the third person
C. a personal experience and is told in the first person
D. a school policy decision that will affect parents and students
57. Amy’s opinion on school uniforms are most likely based on .
A. logical conclusions drawn from her own personal experience
B. an emotional reaction to what she has been told by people in authority
C. her preference for designer-labeled clothes
D. not liking anything her brother likes
58. Which of the following is the best statement of Andy’s opinions?
A. School clothing should reflect parents’ values.
B. Teenagers should never follow the latest fashions in dress.
C. How one dresses should be an expression of one’s individuality.
D. Wearing school uniforms means one less decision every morning.
59. Which of these statements from the story is a form of an emotional appeal?
A. The teachers are divided: some are in favor of uniforms; others are opposed.
B. You are so fragile that you would be completely destroyed by gray or blue pants.
C. The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week.
D. The hot topic in school was all about the PTA’s proposal to adopt a school dress principle.
60. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A School Dress Principle B. My Stubborn Twin Brother
C. Endless Fights with My Brother D. For or Against? — That Is the Question
第一节 ：下面文章中有5处 （第61～65） 需要添加小标题。请从（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题， 并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
Realizing your dreams is not a matter of possibility; it’s a matter of motivating yourself to focus on the right things．You know you should be doing something, but sometimes you just don’t feel like doing anything．This discouraging situation can last a long time if you don’t head it off and take action．Here are some daily motivation tricks that might work for you.
61．________
This is by far the most important tip in this article, because in the end, all of the other tips in the world won’t make as much of a difference as this simple and timeless instruction: Sit down and get a move on! Do you feel the push-back of laziness? Reading more about motivation won’t help．Reviewing your to-do lists won’t help．Only doing actually helps get everything going．So stop thinking about how hard the task is going to be or how long it’s going to take you．Not starting is failing．Tell yourself, “As soon as I get going, I’ll feel more motivated.” And you’ll realize it’s not nearly as hard as you thought it would be.
62．________
Be aware of your self-talk and stay confident．You have the choice to replace negative self-talk with a more encouraging and friendly voice．A voice that will consider your aim as not just a possibility, but a probability; A voice that does not look at the possibility of success before taking action, but rather uses
self-belief as its driving force; A voice that all things are possible to those who commit to their dream.
Tell yourself over and over again that you can do it．See what effect it has．Persist with this kind of positivity and eventually you’ll feel better about whatever it is you want to get done, and you’ll even start to fool yourself into believing it’s true.
63．_______
There is no better way to recharge yourself for improvement than spending time with someone who motivates you．They are smart and can always encourage you to be better．Study their qualities．Study their habits．Surround yourself with them, talk to them, learn from them; they are already living and producing results at a level you admire and expect to．Compare stories, successes and failures．Let their inner light guide you.
64．________
You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it．Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done．Think about it．Write down your past successes．Consider using a journal to keep track of them．You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results．It’s a great motivator to see how much you have improved and how far you have come．Be happy with your progress and move on.
65．________
Do not judge unsuccessful attempts and mistakes as an indication of your future potential, but as part of the growth process．Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime．When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it．Being defeated is a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent．And most people that gave up didn’t realize how close they were to success．Push through!
A．Get started!
B．Forget your failures.
C．Find and use your positive voice.
D．Think about how far you have come.
E．Spend time with people who inspire you.
F．Accept failure as a positive learning experience.

One day I was in the back yard teaching my little nephew how to play football. He said that play football was something easier. His words immediately bring back memories of my childhood. As a little boy, I told my uncle I wanted to become football star like him. However, he taught me how to kick the ball. After some practice, I told him it was hardly for me to kick the ball the way he kicked them. He talked to me about not giving up on how I really wanted to do. Thank to his guidance and encouragement, and I’ve become a football star in my school.

Dear Nick,
I'm glad to receive your letter asking me about my experience as a guide during the Spring Festival.
I worked as a guide during the Spring Festival in my hometown. My hometown is known for many national tourist attractions, which attract a large number of tourists, especially in holidays. I'm an expert about those places and I always do well in communicating with people from different places. I gained much experience as well as some money from it. In short, I think it's a job worth doing.
With this e-mail, I'd like to share with you several pictures of the scenery in my hometown. I'm sure you'll like them very much! (111 words)
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
