第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的网个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最 佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
An egg sinks to the bottom if you drop it into a glass of ordinary drinking water but what happens if you add salt？The results are very interesting and can teach you some fun facts about density（密度）．
What you'll need：
*One egg*Water*Salt*A tall drinking glass
Instructions：
Pour water into the glass until it is about half full．
Mix in lots of salt （about 6 tablespoons）．
Carefully pour in plain water until the glass is nearly full （be careful not to mix the salt water with the plain water）．
Gently lower the egg into the water and watch what happens．
What's happening？
Salt water is denser than ordinary tap water．The denser the liquid is，the easier it is for an object to float in it．When you lower the egg into the liquid it drops through the normal tap water until it reaches the salt water，at this point the water is dense enough for the egg to float．If you were careful when you added the tap water to the salt water，they will not have mixed，enabling the egg to amazingly float in the middle of the glass．
21．Which of the following is the CORRECT order？
①Mix in lots of salt．
②Gently lower the egg into the water．
③Carefully pour in plain water until the glass is nearly full．
④Pour water into the glass until it is about half full．
A．④②①③ B．④①③② C．①④③② D．③④①②
22．What will happen if you drop an egg into a glass of water with about 6 tablespoons of salt？
A．It will float in the water． C．Nothing will happen．
B．It will sink to the bottom． D．The result is not known．
23．Why can the egg float in the water according to the passage？
A．Because ordinary tap water is denser than salt water．
B．Because ordinary tap water is as dense as salt water．
C．Because the denser the liquid is，the easier it is for an object to float in it．
D．Because the more the liquid there is，the easier it is for an object to float in it．
B
Cleaning your plate may not help feed hungry children today, but the timeworn advice of mothers everywhere may help reduce food waste from the farm to the fork, help the environment and make it easier to feed the word’s growing population.
Hard data still being collected, but experts in Chicago said about 30% to 50% of the food produced in the world goes uneaten. The average American throws away 33 pounds of food each month—about $40 worth, which means each person throws away almost 400 pounds of food. The US Department of Agriculture says that 23% of eggs and an even higher percentage of produce ends up in the trash.
“We forget we have all these fresh fruits and vegetables, and at the end of the week we have to throw them away”, said Esther Gove, a mother of three young children in South Berwick, Maine. “Now, I don’t buy as much fresh produce as I used to.”
But the effect of food waste arrives far beyond the kitchen. Agriculture is the world’s largest user of water, a big consumer of energy and chemicals and major emitter of greenhouse gases during production. Experts say reducing waste is a simple way to cut stress on the environment and can ease pressure on farmers, who will be called on to feed an expected 9 billion people around the world in 2050, compared with nearly 7 billion today.
No matter how sustainable(可持续的) farming is, if the food’s not getting eaten, it’s not sustainable and it’s not a good use of our resources. In richer nations, fruit and
vegetables end up in the trash because they are not pretty enough to meet companies’ standards, have gone bad in a home refrigerator or aren’t eaten at a restaurant. In developing countries, much food spoils before it gets to market due to poor roads and lack of refrigeration. High food prices are another reason, since some people can’t afford the food that’s produced.
24. From the first paragraph, we know that cleaning your plate ____________.
A. is your mother’s best advice for you
B. can solve certain problems for the world
C. can help feed hungry children all over the world
D. helps meet the growing population’s needs
25. The underlined word “emitter” in Paragraph 4 means ___________.
A. user B. finder C. protector D. producer
26. What is a sustainable and convenient way for a customer in a restaurant?
A. Ordering enough and packing the leftovers.
B. Ordering more than he or she can eat.
C. Ordering less and feeling hungry after leaving.
D. Ordering more and leaving the untouched alone.
27. Which of the following topics will follow the text?
A. More examples of food waste. B. Experts’ idea on the environment.
C. Ways to reduce food waste. D. Advice for food with high prices.
C
The term“helicopter parents”refers to“a style of parents who are over focused on their children”
Helicopter parents are always making a big push to provide children with every opportunity to succeed，from baby steps at age 1，homework at age 8，college application at age 18，employment issues at age 25 to family problems at age 30，40 or even older．They constantly shadow the child，always directing his behavior，allowing him zero alone time.
Helicopter parenting can develop for a number of reasons．Worries about the economy，the job market，and the world in general can push parents toward taking more control over their child’s life in an attempt to protect them．Adults who felt unloved or ignored as
children can overcompensate with their own children．When parents see other overinvolved parents，it can cause a similar response．They feel that if they don’t involve themselves in their children’s lives，they are bad parents．
The main problem with helicopter parenting is that it can backfire．To give an example，the house where Mary lived with roommates was broken into and things were stolen．Mary called the landlord(房东)to install an alarm system，but before she could finish the negotiations(协商)，her mother rushed in and demanded action．“I felt like my mother ruined my communication with our landlord．We could have gotten it done ourselves．She was well intended but only made me feel annoyed and defeated，”says Mary．
Obviously，over parenting is motivated with the idea of doing good things but it does the exact opposite．In the long run parents are actually damaging their child’s basic skills to deal with matters independently．It makes the child feel lacking in confidence，less competent in dealing with the stresses of life on their own．They’re winning the battle，but actually losing the war．
28．What’s the purpose of helicopter parents’ over parenting?
A．To do something good for their children．
B．To make their children not ignored．
C．To help their children find a good job．
D．To get rid of the pressure from other parents．
29．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Children who have helicopter parents live a hard life．
B．Helicopter parenting only happens to very young children．
C．Helicopter parents can protect their children against all problems．
D．Helicopter parents do their children great harm in the long run．
30．What will possibly be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A．The bad effects of helicopter parenting．
B．How we can avoid being helicopter parents．
C．Different opinions about helicopter parenting．
D．The reasons for the development of helicopter parents．
31．What is the author’s attitude towards“helicopter parenting”?
A．Uninterested． B．Objective． C．Positive． D．Disapproving．
D
Are you a social media addict? Are you always checking your smartphone to see how many 'likes' you've received for your latest post? Maybe you feel comforted by the notification sound that someone has sent you a message?
Don't worry, you're not alone. We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, and around 30% of the total time spent online is dedicated to social media. Some experts now fear this habit could be damaging our mental health.
This is something particularly afflicting（使受苦） young adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh. It found the more they used social media, the more likely they are to be depressed. In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk.”
Some of us certainly feel sad when we're ignored on social media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us. But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that, "It’s a real issue, and it’s been getting significantly worse over the last 5-6 years. You can get so hooked（上瘾的） that it takes you away from your real relationships." However, Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to exacerbate（使恶化） pre-existing（既往病史） issues than directly cause them.
Other research by Glasgow University found that teenagers are affected by the 24-hour demands of their social media accounts. It found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media, and who use it at night, were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.
Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking? Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we don't want to miss out on a conversation that's taking place online. But we need to know when to switch off our virtual（虚拟的） online world and connect with the real world instead.
32. Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?
A. People checking social media frequently.
B. People surfing the Internet regularly.
C. People receiving a few “likes” for their posts.
D. People longing for more messages.
33. Why does the author give a quote from Abigael San in Para.4?
A. To introduce the coming topic.
B. To give a more supporting example.
C. To stress the importance of social media.
D. To explain the cause of a social media addict.
34. Why do people get addicted to social media according to the author?
A. Because they have more time and money.
B. Because the virtual world is much more attractive.
C. Because they want to attract more attention.
D. Because emotional investment in social media benefits them.
35. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. It’s common for teenagers to be a social addict.
B. Using smartphones does harm to people’s health.
C. It’s better to stay away from virtual online world.
D. Social media addiction contributes to depression.
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。选项中有构项为多余选项。
There are many ways to fame. Whatever your own recipe (秘诀) is, if you want to make it really big, don’t follow in anyone else’s footprints. 36 .
1. Do something unusual
Celebrity(成名, 名人) is all about standing out from the crowd. 37 Charles Blondin started it all off 150 years ago. He walked a tightrope(钢丝) across the Niagara Falls to the American side, in front of over 10,000 breathless viewers. After his success, Blondin crossed the Falls many more times in a variety of ways: in chains, on a bicycle, and once, blindfolded.
2. Discover something
The bad news is that there are no countries left to discover. The good news is that in the rainforest of Brazil, there are about three million unnamed types of beetle. One of them could be yours. 38 Though no one will enjoy hearing your name, you will be famous at least until someone comes along and discovers a cure.
3. Appear on reality TV
39 The growth of “reality TV” shows like Big Brother which star ordinary people, means that anyone can possibly become a star. 40 While the show is being broadcast, you’re the biggest star on earth, but once it is over, your glamour disappears, and the life of being a nobody is waiting round the corner.
A. They bring you fame at the speed of light, but it fades just as fast.
B. What will make someone remember you?
C. Or discover a deadly disease and give it your name.
D. What really counts is to explore a unique path.
E. There have never been more chances for “regular” people to become famous.
F. Do something out of the ordinary and you’ll get your piece of fame.
G. Try attending an event that addresses something you don’t know much about.

第 Ⅱ 卷
第二节（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
An old proverb says, “Friends are like wine; the older, the better.” So, nowadays many people consider older friends to be 61 (important) than new friends. For example, if two pieces of advice 62 (give) to solve a problem, one from a new friend and the other from 63 old friend, people always tend to adapt the latter one, although the new friend’s advice may be better.
64 (disagree) with the old proverb, I believe that new friends are not 65 (necessary) worse than old friends. Why? Because the 66 (long) of time can not determine whether your friendship is better or not.
Once you call someone friend, he must be a reliable person, 67 interests are in common with 68 (you). As time goes by, a friend’s outside look may change, but the inside characters 69 him and his interests will not change. It is just these unchangeable characters and interests 70 make him a friend to you. Thus, on this point, there is no difference between old and new friends.
