阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36-50各题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
One of the main reasons that people struggle to become successful is that they don’t have a clear idea of what they want to gain. They also have 36 ideas of the benefits they would like to enjoy, and they are short of a solid strategy for getting there.
This will often 37 to jumping around from one idea to another, but never really sticking to any of them. When results don’t come 38 , it’s easy to lose interest and move on to something that might bring faster success with less 39 . In these cases, it seems that success is too hard to reach.
If we don’t know exactly where we want to go, 40 can we possibly design a good strategy for getting there? So the first 41 toward success is always to know clearly what you want to 42 .
When you are planning for success, the following will be of great help to you. Firstly, know exactly what you want to gain and why. Rather than just thinking about the 43 that your success will bring, focus on 44 you want to reach this particular goal. Secondly, have a list of clear action steps. Think about the end result you want to create, and then 45 exactly what you will need to do in order to get there from where you are right now. 46 each step in order, and make a note of any troubles you are likely to face along the way. Thirdly have a solid
plan for putting those steps into action . Once you start, make sure you put your plans into action, and 47 them in action. Finally, change your plan if 48 . Once you are moving forward toward your goal, it’s important to 49 unnecessary delays.
Success in any area of life 50 happens by accident. Those who understand the process correctly are the ones that succeed.
36. A. incorrect B. unimportant C. unclear D. unfortunate
37. A. lead B. prefer C. aim D. tend
38. A. suddenly B. quickly C. hardly D. regularly
39. A. money B. value C. thought D. effort
40. A. how B. why C. when D. whether
41. A. idea B. question C. conclusion D. step
42. A. judge B. approve C. achieve D. discuss
43. A. benefits B. fortunes C. desires D. attitudes
44. A. how B. why C. what D. where
45. A. express B. find C. consider D. select
46. A. Apply B. Discover C. Recite D. Write

第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Ocean Dome
Leave it to Japan to create the largest indoor theme park on the beach. The beauty of it is that it can be enjoyed no matter how warm or cold is outside. You can see power from waves, a volcano that erupts every hour. The dome clear sky ceiling makes you think you are enjoying hot weather even in winter.
Nitendo Amusement Park
Like it’s not strange enough to be a grown up addicted to Nintendo games, here comes a park ready to let you experience exactly the same games live. It may sound cool and it may be safe. But surely spending time in such a place can only show that you have a funny taste in experiencing gaming.
Alien Apex Resort
Located in Roswell, a known spot for alien related events, this one is the place for the fans of alien life to enjoy themselves. One can get abducted(绑架) here, enjoy seeking help and have fun. Strange enough is that anybody would want to……
Suoi Tien Park
Buddhist theme park, this one comes with Bible like story, heaven and hell, a lot of real thrills and of course some unusual fun including bats, crocodiles and crazy rides. It is a cool experience for crazy fans and it can really be something you would like to visit as a young person
Digger Land
Seeing the hard work of the digging machines can be actually full of education for kids. This park has everything any amusement park would have but dirt is dominant(最突出的). You can be sure your kids will enjoy getting dirty by doing crazy things involving digging with excavators(挖掘机) or operating heavy machines.
51. In Nitendo Amusement Park you can _____.

C. see power from waves D. break your addiction to games
52. How do fans of alien life feel when they are abducted in Alien Apex Resort?

B
Think for a few seconds. If you are around people, stop and look around. Take a moment and observe the people walking by you or sitting at the tables near you. Most of the time, you don’t need to listen to their conversations or ask them what they’re thinking or trying to communicate. Directly or indirectly, everybody’s body language speaks louder than words.
Take for example, someone that is sad. You can easily tell by their behavior that they are not happy. They are annoyed and they walk about as if a dark cloud follows over them. On the other hand, someone that is happy walks about as if they are surrounded by sunshine. They smile with joy and their body shines with every step. This is body language.
Understanding basic body language helps one be a better communicator and person. I know a young boy who cannot for the life of him stay out of social trouble. He’s great at starting friendships but not maintain those relationships. A good reason why he has this trouble is due to his lack of understanding body language. Instead of noticing his friend needs time alone or is not interested in playing at the moment, the boy will press for the friend to do what he or she does not want to do. This quickly creates friction and a quarrel or even a fight will then occur.
Understanding body language is not always simple. The person you are trying to read may have other meanings. For example, the crossing of arms is widely understood as that the person is against what he or she is hearing. But, in many cases this can also mean the person is seriously thinking about what is being discussed. A third possibility is simply trying to keep warm.
I once heard that body language is really 95% of what we say. Words are only 5%. Our own efforts are the key to becoming better language communicators.
54. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Body Language and Our Life B. Common Types of Body Language
C. Body Language Louder Than Words D. Secrets and Science of Body Language
55. Seeing a person with his arms crossed, we can safely say that _____.
A. he doesn’t agree to what he is hearing B. he is in deep and serious thought
C. he is simply trying to keep warm D. each of the above is possible
56. In the passage, the author presents his idea by _____.
A. making comparisons B. giving examples to support his argument
C. raising questions and answering them. D. expressing his opinions directly.
C
There is no doubt that the United States has entered a brand new age, because Donald Trump, the country’s 45th president, is very different from any president before him.
Unlike Hillary Clinton, his opponent, and most former US presidents, who entered the election after years of being politicians, Trump, 70, was a New York real estate businessman.
And he was not a presidential candidate who worked hard to keep a perfect public image of a man who was always caring, fair and wise.
Instead, Trump is famous for being bad-tempered, arrogant(傲慢的) and hateful toward those who disagree with him. He also hates immigrants, both from Latin America and the Middle East, for many problems in the US. This has caused a dangerous division in the country—a country made up of many various races.
But to his supporters, the fact that Trump is not a typical politician is actually one of his advantages. His habit of never hiding his opinions is also considered by many to be a sign that he is not a hypocrite like many politicians are.
“We have seen our country take a downturn in the eyes of the world. We need to go in a different direction, ” Binyomin Weisswasser, 39, a man from Chicago, told the Chicago Tribune. “Trump’s not a politician... I like that he is not always politically correct and speaks his mind. It gives me the feeling that what you see is what you get. You may not like it, but you know what it is.”
But interestingly, many who elected Trump actually followed the “lesser of two evils” principle—one that people use when faced with picking from two unpleasant options—simply because they didn’t think Clinton was a better choice.
“He’s the candidate I disagree less with, ” Jack Stucky, 20, a student at Norwestern University, told the Chicago Tribune. “I don’t think I’d say Donald Trump is going to be the best president ever, but I did think he’d be better than Hillary Clinton.”
It’s true that the US is entering a new age. It’s just not clear yet what kind of age it’s going to be.
57. What’s the difference between Trump and any president before him?
A. He was a businessman before the presidential election.
B. He didn’t try to keep a perfect public image.
C. He gained popularity by his bad reputation.
D. He is not always politically correct and speaks his mind.
58. The underlined words “a hypocrite” is closely related in meaning to _____.
A. a dishonest person B. a caring person
C. a shy person D. a selfish person
59. Where can we put the following paragraph?
“But no matter how people feel about him, Trump is going to take office as the US president on Jan 20, 2017.”
A. Between paragraph 3 and paragraph 4.
B. Between paragraph 4 and paragraph 5.
C. Between paragraph 6 and paragraph 7.
D. Between paragraph 8 and paragraph 9.
60. According to the passage, many Americans elected Trump because _____.
A. they considered Trump as the best president ever
B. they expected Trump to lead the US out of its downtown
C. they were convinced that their historic choice was right
D. they thought that Trump was more caring than Hillary Clinton
61. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. It reports on people’s different views on Trump’s victory in the election.
B. It explores the advantages Trump has over Hillary in the election.
C. It predicts what changes Trump will bring to the US.
D. It analyzes the reasons for Trump’s victory in the election.
D
My mom only had one eye. I hated her. She was such an embarrassment.
She ran a small shop at a flea market and collected old clothes and some other things to sell for the money we needed. Once during elementary school, it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed and wondered how could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school, my schoolmates asked me, "your mom only has one eye?!" and laughed at me.
I was so angry with my mom and wished that she would just disappear from this world. So I said to my mom, "Why don't you have the other eye?! If you're only gonna make me a laughingstock!" My mum did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, I felt so good to have said what I wanted to say. Maybe it was because my mom hadn't punished me, I didn't think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.
For the words I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching at me in the corner of my
heart. Even so, I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty. I told myself that I would become successful in the near future, so I studied very hard. Later I got accepted by the Seoul University, I left my mother and came to Seoul to study. Then I got married there.
I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I am living happily as a successful man. I enjoy the life in Seoul because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom and my past. This kind of happiness was getting bigger and bigger, until one day someone knocked at my door. It was my mom! And still with her one eye! It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom's eye.
I screamed at her, "Who are you? I don't know you! How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter!" To this, my mom quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. Lying to my wife that I was going on a business trip, I went back to participate in the reunion. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, which I used to call a house, just for no reason. There I found my mom lying on the cold ground. I did not shed a single tear.
Then a piece of paper in her hand came into my eyes. It was a letter to me.
My son,
I think my life has been long enough now, and I won't visit Seoul anymore. But would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to come to visit me once in a while? I miss you so much. And I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I decided not to go to the school…for you. I'm so sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you.
You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident and lost your eye. As a mom, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye. So I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son to see a whole new world for me with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did. During the couple of times that you were angry with me, I thought to myself, it's because he loves me.
My son…oh, my son…
Don't cry for me because of my death. I love you so much.
62. What’s the writer’s purpose of this passage?
A. To express how he hated his mother.
A. To share with us how his mother loved him.
B. To ask his mother for her forgiveness.
C. To show his regret for what he did with his mother.

A. Outgoing and distant. B. Determined and stubborn.
C. Considerate and unselfish. D. Generous and loving.
64. In paragraph 4, what does “something” refer to in the underlined sentence?
A. The embarrassment caused by the mother’s appearance.
B. The good feeling to have said what “I” want.
C. The thought that “I” hadn’t hurt the mother badly.

第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最适当的单词。注意：每空一个单词。
Yu Xu, one of China's first female fighter pilots who could fly a J-10 jet, died during a flight training in Tangshan in North China's Hebei province on Saturday. Almost all major media outlets have sung high praise for Yu's spirit. People's Daily said: "She died for the peace and happiness of so many families ... The name of Yu and other heroes will be carved not only in stone, but also in the hearts of millions." However, despite being a news hit, a lot of social media platforms still pay much attention to pop stars, no matter their weddings, problematic marriages or just datings. The day Yu died, she did not even make it to the top-10 hot topics on micro blogs.
Some netizens have criticized such people for being too cold to news about heroes who defend our country. They even quoted from the book, Amusing Ourselves to Death, to express their concerns over people being misled by new media while referring to pop stars as "xi zi", a
contemptuous(轻蔑的) term used for entertainment stars in the old days.
However, it is unnecessary to shame those netizens who were busy reading about film stars and other celebrities. We live in the age of social and new media, where the celebrities usually draw greater public attention than real heroes. This is partly because the agents(经纪人) of celebrities（名人）are very skilled at using social tools to expand their fan base for commercial gains.
Of course, we should admit the great influence entertainment has on people's minds and it helps the media industry make money. Pop stars do take up a lot of our time, and especially many young people waste their spare energy on them, their new songs, new movies, even rumors about their love life and other scandals. The domestic media industry needs improvement, some entertainment stars should improve their public images, but it is not right to call them "xi zi".
The media may be encouraging people to pay greater attention to celebrities than military heroes, but that does not necessarily mean people pay less respect to heroes than stars. The increasing number of reports about the pilot shows the heroes are worth people's added attention, and they get it.
Greater attention to celebrities doesn’t mean less respect for heroes

At present, some of senior one students have problems with English study. What puzzles them is that it is difficult to adapt themselves to senior English study. Besides, they don’t know how to get high grades in English .
Therefore, I think it is developing good English study habits that counts. On one hand, good
study habits can arouse students’ interest in English study. On the other hand, if students form good study habits, this will relieve their study pressure.
As far as I’m concerned, something should be done to develop good habits. Firstly, students must concentrate on what the teachers say and take notes in class. In addition, students should go over what they have learned and get up early to read English aloud. Secondly, if you have made a plan, you must stick to it and then you may find it not as difficult as it appears. Last but not least, find a good partner to study together with you, and it is a good way to keep you motivated.
