My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me. Together, we’ve gone through
both tears and happiness.
About 12 years ago, I made acquaintance with it following an order from my mom. Many boring
hours were spent practicing it. And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher’s eyes
when I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart. One day, I finally
decided: I hate it!
By chance, things changed when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how
those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma. I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a
well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.
A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow moved across it. It was like the
music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin’ s voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray. A
gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children crying and men
shouting. It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat.
That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin — I grabbed mine and never let it go.
Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without hesitation, I picked it up, rosined(用松
香擦) the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart.
My violin has been by my side for 12 years. When I feel happy, an energetic tune makes it even
better; when I’m deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when I’m walking on air, feeling
especially pleased with my achievements, solemn(庄严的) tunes calm me down. Gradually, it has
become a part of my life.
My violin, shall I compare you to a summer’s day?
24．What further contributed to the author’s dislike of violin-playing?
A．Orders from mum. B．Disappointment in the teacher’s eyes.
C．Loss of passion for violin. D．Boredom of practice.
25．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A．The scenery outside the room was quite attractive.
B．The weather actually changed because of the tune.
C．The sudden change made the author’s heart unable to beat.
D．The author’s feeling was influenced by the music.
26．Why did the author pick up the violin again?
A．A famous tune aroused his interest and passion.
B．The invisible hammer and claw are gone.
C．The beautiful imagination changed his attitude.
D．He was crazy about Felix Mendelssohn’s works.
27．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Deep love for music B．My dislike and like of violin
C．An inspiring story of violin D．Musical soul mate—violin
C
When Tom was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the
garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when Tom reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood friends. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was
healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.
These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston.
The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than
those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence and came to feel
they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist who made the
discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”
Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and
47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their
boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and
ability to deal with problems.
The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was
surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm
relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to
have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made
no real difference in how the boys turned out.
Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility,
independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also
help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent
adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can
live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one
loves and to love one’s work.”
28. What do we know about Tom?
A. He received little love from his family. B. He had few childhood friends
C. He enjoyed his career and marriage. D. He was envied by others in his childhood.
29. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by_______________.
A. recording the boys’ effort in school B. comparing different sets of scores
C. evaluating the men’s mental health D. measuring the men’s problem solving
ability
30. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. Clear and definite B. Quick to react C. Having a thin edge D. Sudden and rapid
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Competent adults know more about love than work.
B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.
C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.
D. Independence is the key to one’s success.
D
A shark moving around the coastline is normally a worrying sight，but this waterborne drone(无
人机)threatens floating rubbish instead of people.
Developed by Dutch company RanMarine, the WasteShark takes nature as its inspiration with its
whale shark-like mouth. Responsible for collecting waste, the drone will begin operations in Dubai
Marina in November after a year of trials with local partner Ecocoast.
According to RanMarine, the WasteShark is available in both autonomous and remote-controlled
models. Measuring just over five feet by three-and-a-half feet(1.5 meters by 1.1 meter)，it can carry
up to 352 pounds of rubbish(159.6 kg)and has an operational battery life of 16 hours.
By 2016 there were approximately 150 million tons of plastic in the world's oceans. One paper
from December 2014 estimated that over a quarter of a million tons of ocean plastic pollution was
afloat.
"WasteShark also has the abilities to gather air and water quality data, remove chemicals out of
the water such as oil，and heavy metals，and scan the seabed to read its depth and outlines，"said
Oliver Cunningham, one of the co-founders of RanMarine. "Fitted with a collision-avoidance system,
the drone uses laser imaging detection and ranging technology to detect an object in its path and stop
or back up if the object approaches."
"Our drones are designed to move through a water system, whether it's around the perimeter(周
边) or through the city itself. The drones are that last line of defense between the city and the open
ocean," added Cunningham. "WasteSharks are operating in Dubai, South Africa and the Netherlands
and cost $ 17,000 for the remote-controlled model and just under $ 23,000 for the autonomous model."
Dubai-based operator Ecocoast has two WasteShark drones. Co-founder Dana Liparts says they
will clean waterfronts for clients including hotels and environmental authorities and that Ecocoast'
intention is to have the collected rubbish recycled or upcycled. However, Liparts argues that cleaning waterways doesn't have a one-size-fits-all solution and requires a combination of new technology,
preventative measures and changing people's attitudes towards littering.
32. What do we know about the WasteShark?
A. It can frighten sharks away. B. It is an ocean explorer.
C. It can catch fish instead of people. D. It is a rubbish collector.
33. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A. The causes of ocean pollution. B. The dangers of using plastics.
C. The severity of ocean garbage pollution. D. The way of solving ocean protection.
34．What will the WasteShark do with an approaching object?
A. Fly over it. B. Break it into pieces.
C. Swallow it. D. Avoid crashing into it.
35. Which of the following ideas does Liparts agree with?
A. More measures should be taken to make water clean.
B. The WasteShark should be used more widely.
C. The production cost of WasteSharks should be reduced.
D. People should take a positive attitude to new technology.

佳选项。
Have you seen people who take pictures of food for more than 10 minutes before eating? How
about those who beautify their selfie (自拍) so much that they can’t be 41 ? There must be one or
more who 42 in your social media. No matter 43 they choose to share, they share the best
but the most unreal.
Take my friend Chen for example. Every time we went to a restaurant, she would not take a
44
until all the dishes we 45 were on the table. Then, she would spend five minutes on 46 the
dishes in a seemingly random but in fact 47 order. Then the most important part: taking
pictures. After that, she would choose one of the 48 and click in the filter(滤镜) app. The food
eventually looked 10 times more delicious than it really was, but we had no 49 to really enjoy
it — it all went cold. Actually Chen's real life is much less elegant. For example, she hates to wash
the dishes, so she leaves them in the sink for 50 .
Many people care too much about others’ opinions and try too hard to 51 others. They
find it hard to be 52 and to accept themselves, and thus they are afraid to show their 53 life on social media. What they are trying to prove is 54 what they lack in reality. But this will
not bring any 55 to reality, as they still 56 the same old lifestyle.
If they really want an elegant life, they should put more 57 into achieving it 58
fabricating
(伪造) it. Being more confident, 59 themselves and trying their best to be better is much more
meaningful than 60 their life on social media.

Dear Tom,
I'm writing to discuss with you the matter of health.
Health is far more important thanwealth.
Good health enables us to enjoy our life and achieve what we hope for in
our career. On the
contrary, poor health leads to nothing.
How can we keep healthy？Here is some advice. Firstly, it is very important
for us to take
more fruits and vegetables because they provide vitamins, and we
have to keep a balanced diet.
So we should avoid food with lots of sugar and fatwhich is rich in sugar and fat.
Secondly, we'd
better exercise every day to make our bodies strong. Besides, we have to avoid too much work
pressure.
Finally, we have to get rid of those bad habits that damage our health, such as drinking
and smoking.
In conclusion, if we stick to theadvice given above, we will lead a healthy life.
Yours
Li Hua
