As the nation’s capital city, there are hundreds of attractions to visit. Here are some of the most famous ones.‎ ‎ Washington Monument ‎ The Washington Monument rises 555 feet, following the design of architect Robert Mills, a famous American designer of the 1840s. Construction of the monument began in 1848, but was not completed until 1884, almost 30 years after Mr. Mills’death.

The World War II Memorial B I set out to help clean up the beach after a violent storm a year ago. The sight I saw was heartbreaking. The broken houses seemed to be weeping quietly. I couldn’t describe how I felt. But something special among the debris (废墟) turned my day around.‎ I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket, and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume. After picking it up, I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point (西点军校), the United States Military Academy, and it had the name “deGavre” written inside. I realized the jacket might be important to someone. I decided to find the jacket’s owner and return it.‎ I called the West Point Museum, considering that if the family couldn’t be found, the jacket should go there. The museum connected me with Kim McDermott, Director of Communications for the Academy’s Association of Graduates. Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre, who was a 1933 graduate and a war hero, but passed away in 1993.‎ I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page, asking if anyone could help us find the family. In less than two hours, someone had found and called the hero’s wife, Teresa. Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family, their friends and others who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook.‎ Finding Chester deGavre’s jacket and connecting to his family with the help of Facebook have been so meaningful to me. I’ve formed a bond with amazing people I might have never met.‎ ‎4. Seeing the sight after the storm, the author felt very ________． ‎ A. sad B. surprised C. nervous D. disappointed ‎5. What did the author think at first after he saw the jacket? ‎ A. He should try to find its owner. B. He could wear it for Halloween.‎ C. He should return it to West Point. D. He could send it to others for free.‎ ‎6. Why did the author call the West Point Museum? ‎ A. Because the jacket was made there. ‎ B. Because the jacket’s owner worked there. ‎ C. Because the workers there needed the jacket.‎ D. Because the jacket might be collected by the museum.‎ ‎7. According to the text, who was Kim McDermott? ‎ A. He happened to be the owner of the jacket.‎ B. He was a student graduating from West Point.‎ C. He was someone who could find a record of the graduates.‎ D. He was a family member of the author.‎ ‎ C The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. As we know, we’re sitting while we’re eating; we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV. And many of us sit for many hours at work.‎ New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Peter Katzmarzyk, a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States, says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives, meaning it is something we do all the time, everywhere.‎ However, Mr. Katzmarzyk says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. He also says you may exercise often, “We can’t throw away physical activity. It’s extremely important. We have 60 years of research showing us that.”‎ Mr. Katzmarzyk and his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. “Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality (死亡率) or television viewing and mortality are very rare. There’s only been a few of them, actually five or six now, in the last four or five years.” They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one point four years to life.‎ Luckily, change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk.” A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving. That’s one of the strategies that many companies are using now.‎ Mr. Katzmarzyk also says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives.‎ ‎8. The underlined word “ubiquitous” is closest in meaning to ________． ‎ A. dangerous B. awkward C. comfortable D. common ‎9. Which view agrees with the opinion of Mr. Katzmarzyk? ‎ A. Sitting too long may help increase one’s life.‎ B. Exercise is important and don’t sit too long.‎ C. Watching TV is bad, but can broaden one’s horizons.‎ D. Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.‎ ‎10. What does Mr. Katzmarzyk think of his study in Paragraph 4? ‎ A. It’s a relatively new area of study.‎ B. It’s a hot subject studied by experts.‎ C. It’s a study that begins too late.‎ D. It’s not ignored by many experts.‎ ‎11. Why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more? ‎ A. To give them more comfort. B. To improve their work efficiency.‎ C. To offer them the chance to exercise. D. To seek pleasure while working. ‎ D Crying is the sign of the rawest of human emotions. We cry when we can’t hold inside what we feel any more. We cry when we’re at our best, and when we’re at our worst. By we, I mean all of us ‎ -- men included.‎ But we never see other men cry. In no western culture has it ever been acceptable for men to shed (流泪) more than a single tear, and even then it’s reserved for grand victories, defeats and deaths. Dutch research suggests that women cry between three and five times more than men. Generally men and women cry over the same things -- deaths, break-ups and homesickness, primarily, but researchers believe that men cry more often than women when it comes to positive events.‎ I want to admit，I’m a bit of a cryer. However, having never really experienced deaths in my life, a few weeks ago I experienced what it means to really, truly, pour my heart out in tears.‎ See, my dog -- a loyal companion -- was killed by a car right outside my house. Being a witness to this painful event left me in shock for a good hour, but then the floodgates opened. Over the next 48 hours, I might have cried 20 times. Once or twice I crouched (蹲) on the floor with my head in my hands and tears were the only outlet.‎ It is suggested in the book Adult Crying: A Biopsychosocial Approach that there’s a certain pleasure in crying. It helps ease stress when there is no other way to express ourselves.‎ In those days after my dog’s death, I remember thinking, “I’ve got to stop this crying”. It felt unmanly. It felt like a sign of weakness. I’ve since realized that tears are for everybody; they’re not gender-specific. They show we have sympathy, allow us to get rid of stress and just feel.‎ ‎12. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? ‎ A. Crying is a raw human emotion.‎ B. Crying is an emotion beyond control.‎ C. Crying is an emotion showing sadness.‎ D. Crying is an emotion showing happiness.‎ ‎13. What’s the difference between men and women in crying according to Dutch research? ‎ A. They cry over different matters. B. They cry at different times of life.‎ C. Women cry more often over deaths. D. Men are more likely to have tears of joy.‎ ‎14. What does the author think of his crying over his dog’s death? ‎ A. A sign of strength. B. A sign of weakness.‎ C. Behavior of being womanish. D. A way of reducing emotional stress.‎ ‎15. What’s the best title for the text? ‎ A. Men, never cry like women B. Men, it’s OK to cry sometimes C. Crying solves psychological problems D. Crying explains differences between men and women 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能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎（选 E 涂AB，选 F 涂CD，选G涂AC）‎ What Type of College is Right for You?‎ When deciding what colleges to apply for, you may feel stressed about what type of campus you want to live and study on. 16 Do you want to know everybody at your school, or are you looking for more of a college town experience where you meet new people every day? ‎ ‎17 Are you looking for a liberal arts (文科) school or a more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) focused college? Maybe you want to attend a school more specific to what you may want to do in the future, like a music or art based school. Another aspect or factor into your decision is the kinds of activities the college offers. 18 ‎ Once you start collecting a list of places you are thinking about, the next thing to do is to consult your college counselors and start your applications. When applying to college, make sure to get help and advice from the college counselors, who always have their doors open to keep students on track when it comes to the college process. 19 Keeping them up to date on how far along you are in the process will help the college counselors get their job done and make your application a success. ‎ Once those applications are in, the hardest part comes next: waiting. 20 As soon as the results come out, you will know which school is right for you, whether it is your top choice or something else down your list. ‎ A. The next step is finding what college suits you academically. ‎ B. They also invite students to email any question they may have. ‎ C. One of the first things that colleges look at is your past school record. ‎ D. This is also the time to reflect on which college you are hoping to get into. ‎ E. Sports, the arts and other interests can be a huge part in determining the right school. ‎ F. Choosing between a larger or smaller campus is the first step to narrow down which college is right for you. ‎ G. You should be thinking well in advance about which teachers you want to write recommendations to. ‎ 第二部分 语言知识及应用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空 (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四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ As I walked through the door, I felt sharp coldness.
