阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Generally,when rescue workers save the lives of people in emergency situations,they never see
each other again.However,this was not the case for Mike Wilson,a member of the U.S.Air Force,and
Jennifer Brown,the"little"girl Wilson picked up from the waters of Hurricane Ike in 2008.
The Air Force pilot took a photo of the moment Jennifer gave her rescuer the biggest hug that
he would never forget.The photo touched hearts around the world.For Wilson, who was fighting an
illness at the time,it was especially precious.He carried the photo with him everywhere to remind him
of one of the most special moments in his life.
Eventually,he decided to find the little girl who changed his life and even ran a FindlkeGirl
activity on social media.
Finally,10 years later,the two met again on the set of The Real in September 2018. And Wilson
told Jennifer,"You, rescued me more than I rescued you".They did not end their friendship there.Ever
since they met again,Wilson has visited her family and has spoken to her on the phone weekly.This
Saturday,he will visit the Browns again,as 14-year-old Jennifer is bringing him to her military training
program,which she encouraged herself to join in with the support Wilson has provided."I'm going
because I would do anything for her and her family in return for the hug.They mean as much to me as
my own family,"Wilson says.
The girl tells PEOPLE:"The program was very interesting and a challenge for me because I had
never done it before".She even plans to join the military one day."I am Proud of her no matter what
she does and will support her in everything she does,"Wilson said."I think she understands service
and I believe that she will do great things no matter what she chooses."
21.How did Wilson and Jennifer come to know each other?

B
Eighteen people in central Kenya are taking the country's secondary education test, called the
KCSE.Even under normal conditions,this examination can make a student nervous.But these 18
students may feel especially fearful.They are serving sentences in a top-security prison.And if they do
well in the test,they might get to leave the prison.
During the test the inmates(囚犯)sit at school desks at Naivasha Prison.The classroom looks
like any other except that the students are wearing prison uniforms.David Noah Okwemba has just
finished the examination for history and biology.He says he wants people to know that the prisoners
are no longer criminals.Instead,he says they are students.
Prisoners who perform well can have their sentences changed.They may be released early to go
to university or find employment.Patrick Mwenda is head officer at Naivasha prison.He says
Naivasha works with the high courts to consider the cases of prisoners who get high marks and
nine.prisoners have been released since 2008 as a result of.their schooling and tests.So far,the releases
have gone only to prisoners sentenced to short terms.
Only one other possibility for freedom exists for those facing life in prison and those who have
used up all their legal appeals.Kenya's Power of Mercy committee advises about pardons for
prisoners.Mr.Mwenda admits the difficulties of getting a pardon.But he says the prison urges students
with longer sentences to build skills,which would help them have a good record to show the
committee.
Inmate Prince Winsor Mosii does not approve of the whole system."The Power of Mercy is not
actually helpful.It is there,but it is not helping in setting us at liberty,even if you have performed."
Serving a life,sentence for his involvement in an armed robbery, Prince Winsor Mosii took his KCSE
exam last year.But he says he does not see much reason to get an education if he is to remain in
prison."It is of no good to get or to acquire something of great value,skills,and not put it into action."
More than half of the 3,000 inmates at the Naivasha prison are involved in the school
program.The inmates themselves choose the subjects and decide the content of the studies. Personal
experience makes up an important part of the class discussions.
24.Why does the author mention KCSE in Paragraph 1?
A.To suggest its popularity among Kenya.B.To explain its influence on secondary students.
C.To introduce a special mercy in Kenya prison.
D.To praise the achievement of schooling in prison.
25.According to Prince Winsor Moss,
A.it is difficult for prisoners to learn a skill
B.it is useless studying if one cannot be released
C.prisoners with long sentences also need to study
D.mastering a skill can help one solve practical problems
26.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.High Education Reduces Crime.
B.Everyone Has the Right to Education.
C.The More educated,the Less Criminal.
D.Good Grades Are the Pass to Freedom.
C
As a dropout myself,I often feel it is my duty to defend my fellow non-scholars.Common wisdom
would have you believe we are the “bad kids",the future criminals,the worst sort of people.But not all
dropouts are likely to deal drugs,steal goods from a shop,or shoot pool all day.
My own favorite place to go when skipping school was always the public library.My early
retirement meant that at last I had the time to read everything I wanted to.I found reading Thomas
Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow a lot more interesting than reading about Sir Isaac Newton and the
falling apple.
Best of all was the time I finally had to myself.I felt liberated.I had been in school nearly my
whole life.I wanted to find out for myself who I was,and until I did,everything else felt like a waste of
time.
However,after nearly three years,a series of strange thoughts began to make me anxious and
unsure.Images of myself at the age of 35 began to haunt(缠扰)me in my sleep.And a voice in my
head began asking over and over,"Who is paying the hot water bills? Who buys the microwave
pizza?"The answer,of course,was my poor old parents.Sure,I was having an enjoyable time doing
plenty of nothing,discovering myself and all, but that's unfair to them.What parents long to see their
child drop out of school,with no plans for the future?Could they be expected to support me
forever?Certainly not.I immediately moved out of the house and out of town,in search of a future for
myself.
And it is here,in my new home of San Francisco,that I have decided to do what was once
unthinkable:go back to school.I plan to take adult education classes and then apply for City
College.On the one hand,I can hardly believe I'm doing it:a return to desks, chalkboards,and clocks
that tell you when to stop thinking about one thing and start thinking about another.But at City
College,I'll be able to take film production,semiotics,and sociology-just because I want to know about
them.So next time you see a dropout,be sympathetic.And please don't push him to do something he
doesn't want to do.It never works.He'll come around when he's ready.
27.It is commonly believed that dropouts are__.
A.bad kids from birth
B.interested in studying drugs
C.very likely to commit crimes
D.responsible for defending non-scholars
28.What did the author find most enjoyable after dropping out of school?
A.Living in comfort with his parents.
B.Reading in the public library.
C.Escaping the pressure from school.
D.Having time for self-discovery.
29.Why did the author move to San,Francisco?
A.To fight for his own future.
B.To apply for City College.
C.To break away from his parents.
D.To live up to his parents' expectations.
30.What does the author suggest people do to deal with dropouts?
A.Push them to the limit.
B.Open their hearts to them.
C.Try to be understanding.
D.Encourage them to be friendly.

There are many kinds of book clubs where members discuss a different book every
month.What about dinner clubs,where people get together once a month or four times a year to make
and eat dinner?In the dinner club that I joined,the hostess of the dinner club would prepare a big
dinner first.31 This was the beginning of our dinner club.
There are two variations of a dinner club.One has a group of people who try a different
restaurant once a month.32 When they all meet,they order and share different dishes.This is a great
idea,especially if you live in a big city where there are hundreds of different restaurants.
33_One way is to have the hostess for the month decide on a type of food.The hostess is
responsible for cooking the entrees.The other members make different courses at home,like salad and dessert,and bring them to the dinner club.For an even more exciting and interactive type of dinner
clubs,the entire group comes together in the hostess 'kitchen. 34_In this way the members of the group
not only learn about different types of food, but also different methods of cooking.
The great thing about a dinner club is that it serves in many different ways.You can make the
dinner club even more special one month by inviting partners.35 A stay-at-home mother can get a
couple of other stay-at-home mothers together and start a children's lunch club.If you have a group of
friends that love to get together and experiment with different types of food,the possibilities are
endless!
A.They prepare the entire meal in a group effort.
B.Usually one member decides on the restaurant.
C.Then the members would begin discussing the food.
D.They are like-minded people with similar education level.
E.The second kind of dinner clubs has many different forms.
F It offers regular well-organized social events in selected places.
G.Couples can get together for some food and great conversations.

第二节 概要写作(满分 25 分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts,feelings and
behaviors.But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(实证的)basis.They are discovering
how to design spaces that promote creativity,keep people focused and lead to relaxation.
Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity.In2007,Joan
Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota,reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how
people think.Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely,which
may lead them to make more abstract connections.Low ceilings,on the other hand,may inspire a more
detailed outlook.
In addition to ceiling height,the view afforded by a building may influence a person's ability to
concentrate.Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who
experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a
standard test of attention.According to another study at the University of Georgia,using nature to improve focus of attention seems to pay off academically.It found that students in classrooms with
unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of
vocabulary,language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads
and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim(暗淡的)light helps people to loosen
up.If that is true generally,keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase
relaxation.Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges
could help visitors relax.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings."We have a very limited.number of
studies,so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw,"architect David Allison says."How do
you take answers to very specific questions and make broad,generalized use of them?That's what
we're all struggling with."

recommend a student to address at the opening ceremony in English?
Above all,the student is supposed to have a good command of both written and spoken
English.At the same time,he or she must hold a positive attitude towards study and life and enjoy a
good fame or high popularity among students.Of course it would be even better if the student has

第二节 概要写作
One possible version:
Scientists are studying how to design the living places to benefit us(要点 1). Researches
show that physical environment,like the height of ceilings,can affect people's creativity(要点 2).More
greenness or a broader vision can improve one's attention span,and then academic performance(要点
3).Dim light and round-edged furniture bring people relaxation(要点 4).But so far,similar studies have
been limited to a small scale,(要点 5).
