When I was about 4 years old,I decided to go to Disney World. For most young kids,it's a
normal request,but I had cerebral palsy(脑瘫).Walking into anywhere,let alone a crowded place
like Disney World was,to put it lightly,a tall order. Luckily,I had people in my corner to help
me. Over the next three years,I worked with physical doctors,acquired a walker,and practiced
walking,standing,and balance—all skills that I would need to turn my goal into a reality.
I remember the feeling when my legs would protest doing any more work. Despite this,
everyone else told me I could do it,so I kept it up. It was all because of people like my parents,
brothers,teachers,and doctors that I was able to grow so much,both physically and mentally.
Constantly pushing me to “walk on,” yet encouraging me whenever I needed it.
On June 9,2008,as I stood in the tunnel leading into Main Street,My dad asked me if I wanted
any help. I instantly replied,“No!”and situated myself facing the end of the tunnel,feet planted
firmly,heart most likely beating out of my chest. Then I went,walking ever so slowly at first,then
gradually speeding up. Step,step,step,step,bump. Holding fast onto the handlebars,I gathered
up all my strength,picked up my walker and straightened out,picking up my pace once again. It
wasn’t too long before the cheering increased because I had made it to the end,where my mom was
waiting with tears in her eyes and arms open wide ready to hug her son and tell him how proud she
was.
Looking back on that experience,I realize something pretty thoughtful. Every once in a while,
life will throw a few bumps in the road. Though it may set you back for a bit,don’t let it stop you.
Pick yourself back up and finish. It’s worth it. Besides,there just might be someone there cheering
you on along the way.
24.Which of the following best explains “a tall order” underlined in paragraph 1 ?A.An easy decision. B.An available action.
C.A reasonable order. D.A challenging task.
25.Why does the author say he’s lucky?
A.He eventually has his brain disease well cured.
B.He constantly gets courage and support from others.
C.He is likely to do any kind of work in his later life.
D.He is naturally gifted in keeping balance on his own.
26.The author gives a vivid picture of himself in paragraph 3 to______.
A.explain he was terrified to take the first step
B.describe he took pride in his mother and friends
C.show how he managed to walk by himself
D.prove how he understood to respect others
27.What can be the best title of the text?
A.Where Dreams Come True B.When Bad Fortune Falls
C.How I Value Friendship D.Why I Look Back My Life
C
Experts say there are about 6,500 languages spoken throughout the world. But the United
Nations estimates that about half of these languages are in danger of disappearing.
One non-profit organization seeking to save world languages is a New York-based group called
Wikitongues. Officials from Wikitongues say the organization has a simple goal: to provide the tools
and support that people need to save their languages.
Udell is the co-founder of Wikitongues. He said when a language disappears,many other things
can go away as well. For example,parts of a community’s culture,knowledge and identity can also
be lost. Because of this,Udell believes the process of bringing languages back must be done by
community members themselves,“from the ground up,”he said.
“There is no way an outside organization can save someone’s language for them.”
Wikitongues was launched in 2016 as an open internet collection of world languages. The
self-described “community” is operated by volunteers from around the world. The collection is in the
form of language videos that people add to the Wikitongues website.
There are currently more than 400 languages and dialects represented on Wikitongues’YouTube
channel. Udell says more than 1,500 people from 70 different countries have added videos to the
system.
“We have people from India who record dozens of languages,which is beyond their own.” he
said.
One of Wikitongues’volunteers is Kolokwe,who lives in Namibia. His native language is
Subiya,however,he does not get the chance to speak his native language every day. Like many
other educated people from his area,he speaks a lot of English and Afrikaans.
Kolokwe is hoping his involvement with Wikitongues call help keep Subiya and other African
languages from going extinct. He wants the world to know about his language. But his goal goes
beyond just sharing his language with others through video. He is also working to create a dictionary and language teaching materials that can be used in schools.
28.What is tile result of languages disappearing?
A.People are uncertain about who they are.
B.All the customs and beliefs are still existing.
C.People can not communicate with each other.
D.The community becomes more independent.
29.Which of the following is true of Wikitongues?
A.It was founded by the United Nations.
B.Officials from it want to make money.
C.It contributes to saving languages.
D.1500 languages are uploaded on its website.
30.Why is Kolokwe involved in volunteering?
A.He has no chance to speak his native language.
B.He dislikes speaking English and Afrikaans.
C.He wants to stop his native language dying out.
D.He hopes to teach his language in school himself.
31.What can we infer from the opinion of Udell?
A.The majority of languages have been saved.
B.Wikitongues can save languages disappearing.
C.Internet plays a more important part than volunteers.
D.Only community members can save their own languages.
D
A new algorithm(演算法)raises parking rates in busy neighborhoods and lowers them elsewhere,
guaranteeing free parking spots regardless of location,Christopher Intagliata reports.
If you drive in a city,you’ve no doubt experienced the headache of circling block after block,
cruising for parking. But scientists who study that phenomenon have a solution to free up more
spots:“You make them more expensive,so people have to decide whether to park farther away and
Pay less,or closer and pay more.”Itzhak Benenson,a system scientist at Tel Aviv University.
San Francisco has piloted a program that raises parking rates based on demand—and it's been
shown to reduce cruising. But the sensors required for those systems can cost millions of dollars to
install and operate,Benenson says. So instead,writing in IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems
Magazine,he and his colleague Nir Fulman describe an algorithm that can determine smart pricing,
without the use of sensors.
They tested it on the Israeli city of Bat Yam,near Tel Aviv. First,they divide the city into zones.
They estimate the parking demand in each zone,by calculating the number of apartments and offices
there. Then they take account of parking supply in the area,along with how wealthy potential
parkers might be. Using that data,the algorithm suggested pricing for each zone that would
guarantee a 90-percent occupancy rate of parking spots city-wide. Meaning 10 percent of spots were
always available to drivers willing to pay the price,regardless of neighborhood.
Of course,not everyone will agree that raising parking prices will reduce the press of parking. Last time Benenson proposed hiking rates for city residents?“I got about 100 reactions on the web and
99 of them that said they have never heard such a stupid statement from the professors,and I should
be punished and fired.”
Eventually,he says,it'll be up to cities themselves to estimate their residents’ political appetites
for an easier parking spot.
32.What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Parking spots. B.Parking rates.
C.Busy neighborhoods. D.New algorithms.
33.How does the new algorithm work?
A.Adopting different parking rates.
B.Counting the apartments and offices.
C.Making farther parking spots more expensive.
D.Setting the price of parking spots with sensors.
34.Which is the process of carrying out the smart pricing?
①Choosing a target city.
②Counting the parking demand.
③Dividing the city into zones.
④Suggesting pricing for each zone.
⑤Considering the parking supply.
A.②⑤④③① B.①③②⑤④
C.②⑤①③④ D.①③④②⑤
35.What will the public think of Benenson’s smart pricing?
A.Supporting. B.Disapproving. C.Optimistic. D.Controversial.

With 17 million residents and 23 million bicycles,the Netherlands already has more bikes than
people.36. .
The Dutch government recently announced that it will invest $ 390 million in cycling
infrastructure to get 200,000 more people commuting(通勤)by bike in three years’ time. Fifteen
routes will be developed into “cyclist freeways”,25,000 bike parking spaces will be created and
more than 60 bike storage facilities will be upgraded.
“ 37. ,”says Stientje van Veldhoven,state secretary for that department,who is spearheading
the project.
It’s not that people aren’t already cycling in the Netherlands. In 2016,over a quarter of all trips
made by Dutch residents were by bike. But only 25%of those trips were work—related,compared to
37%which were made for leisure.38. .
According to van Veldhoven,more than 50%of people in the Netherlands live less than 15
kilometers from work,and more than half of commuters’ car trips are under 7.5 kilometers long—a
distance that “can easily be covered by bike,”she says.
39..The Netherlands currently rewards commuting cyclists with tax credits of $0.22 per
kilometer. Companies and employees would agree on the distance of a person’s cycling route.However,this is currently a little—known benefit not supported by many employers,according
to the infrastructure ministry. That’s something the government is hoping to change by better
promoting the scheme and getting more companies on board.40. .The government is urging
employers to provide better facilities for commuting cyclists,such as showers at the office,
according to the ministry.
A.The rest were for school,shopping,or other activities
B.To get people to ditch their cars,money is being laid on the table
C.Now,it wants to get even more cyclists on the roads—and will pay people to do it
D.Today the Netherlands is known for its cycling culture,but that hasn’t always been the case
E. My ambition is to ensure that people can easily get to work or school,or visit family and friends
F. The Netherlands is now one of the few countries that takes cycling seriously as a mode of
transportation
G. There are already 11 major employers in the Netherlands committing to measures such as financing
employees’ bikes

their day was past and gone, 56 you might have reached such height as years went on. Then

【主旨大意】这是一则寓言。一棵小树苗嫌他周围繁密的树枝阻碍了他的成长,要求经过的
Tom 用斧子帮他砍处一块空地来。结果由于失去了大叔的庇护,日晒风吹雨淋,小树苗很快
就枯萎了。这则寓言告诉我们,青少年要健康地成长,也同树苗一样,不要急于过早地挣脱
父母的保护。
【解析】41. A Tom 正穿越树林,小树苗叫住了他,所以这里应该是“让他停住脚步”的意思。
42. B 本句谓语动词是 wish,它后面的宾语从句谓语动词不能用一般现在时态,而 might 意思
不符。
43. D 该句要注意前置状语中的介词 on,构成 fall on me。
44. D 根据句意,小树苗要伸展树根,但是发现周围都是其他的树,根本没有他发展的余地,
room 不可数名词,相当于下文中的 space。
45. A 风儿应该是在树苗“周围”轻语,而不仅仅是在“上面”。
46. B 根据句意,“要是没有他们,如果我现在就能开始茁壮成长,一年后你就能看到我成为
这一片的骄傲。”but for 表示“要不是因为,如果没有…”之意。
47. B 这句话表达小树苗认为如果没有周围的一切压制他,任由他生长,一年后他会成长为一
棵参天大树,成为这一片的佼佼者,但是没有“统治者”或者“主人”之意。
48. C as it is 意为“正如你现在所看到的”。
49. A Tom 为了帮助朋友。不定式表目的。
50. B Tom 帮小树苗砍掉了周围的树枝,小树苗的目的达到了,所以是他的“成功”。
51. A leave sb. +adj.表示留给某人的结果。
52. A 松鼠认为小树苗这种急于摆脱大树庇护的做法是愚蠢的。
53. D 松鼠认为是小树苗自己带来了自己的厄运,从下段语言中可知。bring about 带来,导致;
bring in 引进,赚得。A 和 C 意义不符。
54. C 此处意为:如果你在丛林中呆久一些,无论是严寒或者狂风,你都会有大树作为保障。
despite 相当于 in spite of,“无论…都…”的意思。
55C when 引导定语从句修饰 a time。
56. D 这里表示多年以后,当大树们的时代已经过去,轮到小树苗长成硕壮的大树了。
57A “因为你已经积聚了足够的力量,这样的风雨对你已不能构成威胁,更严酷的风暴你也
能安然度过。”
58. D 此处表达我们年轻的时候也会对父母的保护感到厌烦,因为我们感觉被控制、被约束了。
59B 于是我们“渴望”自由和独立。
60B 然而,我们需要意识到在我们健康成长的过程中,我们需要父母的保护。
61. Forbidden 62. celebrated 63 usually 64 in 65 feeling
66. a 67. tickets 68 which 69 closer 70. to attract

Dear Peter,
Congratulations to you on your extraordinary progress in Chinese learning.
The idiom mentioned in your email was remarked by Confucius, the greatest ancient Chinese
philosopher. It kind of means ‘Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you.’, which is
the key to harmonious human relations. Since there are so many famous Chinese idioms, you are
advised to select some of your favorites, manage to keep them in your mind at first, and then gradually
you’ll understand them better in the future.
I’ll present you with a book about how to learn Chinese idioms, which is a great help to you. You
are welcome whenever you need.
Yours,
Li Hua
