第一节:阅读下列材料, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。
(A)
True to their reputation as leisure-loving gourmets(美食家), the French spend more time sleeping and eating than anyone else among the world’s wealthy nations, according to a study published on Monday.
The average French person sleeps almost nine hours every night, more than an hour longer than the Japanese and the Korean, who sleep the least in a survey of 18 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD). Despite their siesta(午睡)habit, Spaniards rank only third in the poll after Americans, who sleep more than 8. 5 hours.
And while more and more French people grab a bite at fast-food chains these days or, wolf down a sandwich at their desk, they still spend more than two hours a day eating.
That means their meals are twice as long as those of the average Mexican person, who dedicates just over an hour a day to food, the OECD’s “Society at a Glance” report on work, health and leisure in Asia, Europe and North and South America found. The Japanese, scrimping(吝啬)on sleep and burdened with long working hours, still manage to spend close to two hours a day eating and drinking, placing them third behind New Zealanders.
Despite the limited amount of time Americans spend eating each day—about an hour and a quarter—the U. S. obesity(肥胖)rates are the highest in the 30 members of OECD.
The Japanese like to spend what remains of their rare free time watching television or listening to the radio. This takes up 47 percent of leisure time in Japan. Norwegians spend the most time at leisure, just over a quarter of their day, while at the low end, Mexicans spend just 16 percent of their time having fun.
The OECD has 30 members. The survey covers only the countries for which appropriate figures were available.
41. According to the text, which of the following spends the most time sleeping and eating?
A. Norwegians.
B. Americans.
C. The French.
D. The Japanese.
42. As to eating time, the CORRECT order is .
A. The French > New Zealanders> The Japanese> Mexicans
B. The French > The Japanese > New Zealanders > Mexicans
C. Mexicans> The Japanese > New Zealanders > The French
D. New Zealanders > The Japanese >Mexicans> The French
43. In the 30 members of OECD, the U. S. ranks first at .
A. leisure B. sleeping time
C. eating time
D. obesity rates
44. What can we learn from the text?
A. The Japanese and the Korean sleep the least in a survey of 30 members of OECD.
B. The Japanese spend 47% of leisure time watching TV or listening to the radio.
C. Mexicans spend most of their time having fun.
D. Spaniards who sleep more than 8. 5 hours, rank only third after Americans.
45. The main purpose of the text is .
A. to tell us the French is leisure-loving gourmets
B. to show which country spends the least time in sleeping
C. to show a survey about the time of leisure, sleeping, eating in some countries
D. to make a comparison to find out the best living style of OECD countries

As an English teacher, one of the most common problems I’ve found with my students is their lack of confidence with speaking, and difficulty in understanding native speakers. Another problem could be that a foreign language taught in schools can sound quite different to what native speakers actually use.
There are a few English words and expressions that I’d never heard until I came to China. The most common one in my experience is “How are you? I’m fine, thank you, and you?”
I appreciate that although this greeting is much too formal for everyday use, it’s easy to learn and help build confidence. However, it can be a hard habit to break. I’ve seen many parents correct their kids if they don’t use that exact phrase, as if simply replying “I’m fine” would somehow be rude. In fact I’m banning my students from saying that in the classroom, insisting a simple “I’m fine, thanks” is good enough.
“Seldom” is another one that I find interesting. The first time a student told me “I seldom watch TV” , my initial reaction was a stupefied look, followed by “Huh?” I then realized the student used “seldom” when it’s more common for us to use “rarely” .
I was just as confused when I first heard a toilet referred to as a WC(water closet), another English term I’d never heard of back in Australia. Of course, my students know the other names for it like bathroom, toilet, washroom etc. , so to prefer that name is an interesting choice.
I don’t mind that my students have substituted familiar English words with their own, far from it. It reminds me how creative they can be with not only their language, but with mine as well. It’s healthy for English to evolve(进化)and change and I’m happy to add these new words to my vocabulary.
One important lesson I’ve learnt is that textbooks can only help you so much. For further improvement you’d better practice with native speakers.
50. What does the article mainly talk about?
A. Learning English needs confidence.
B. Native speakers are hard to understand.
C. Chinese-English has something different.
D. Chinese students are more creative.
51. The problem with the reply “I’m fine, thank you, and you?” is that it is .
A. too long to remember
B. not popular with native speakers
C. sometimes misunderstood
D. considered impolite by native speakers
52. The writer mentioned parents correcting their kids to show that in China .
A. speaking English at home has become a habit
B. the exact reply has been trained into a habit
C. some parents are not qualified to teach English
D. children don’t always obey their teachers
53. The underlined word “stupefied” in Para. 4 is closest in meaning to .
A. stupid
B. excited
C. suspected
D. surprised
54. It’s possible for us to hear an Australian say “We use the term‘ ’for a toilet. ”
A. seldom; bathroom B. rarely; washroom
C. seldom; WC
D. rarely; WC
55. What is the writer’s attitude towards his students using Chinese-English?
A. He’s tolerant.
B. He’s angry.
C. He feels uncomfortable.
D. He pays no attention.

Do you want to see the effects of global warming? Then head north. Will Steger is going to take all of us there.
Steger, 64, the first person to make a dogsled trip to the North Pole, is a very famous and admired polar explorer. He’s at home in frozen parts of the world where few humans ever step on. Steger is also a devoted environmentalist who was early to ring the alarm bell on global warming. He saw its effects firsthand in frequent polar expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica.
Now Steger is about to lead a team of six young adventurers on a 1, 400-mile, 60-day-long dogsled trip across Ellesmere Island, in the Canadian Arctic. The sea ice in that region should still be frozen.
“We want to take our audience to the front lines of global warming, ” says Steger. The team will be uploading videos, stories and photos to the website globalwarming 101. com as they march along, allowing armchair adventurers and kids in classrooms to follow their progress day to day.
“We can actually bring the audience up there, ” Steger says.
Steger’s team will include some already-famous young explorers. Sam Branson, the 22-year-old son of British airline tycoon(大亨)Richard Branson, is an experienced Arctic traveller. Also on the journey will be 27-year-old Norwegian Sigarid Ekran. Last year, Ekran became only the second woman in history to win Rookie(新秀)of the Year for the Iditarod Sled Dog Race.
What they will see may be very surprising. Even Steger doesn’t know exactly what to expect. Climate change has already reshaped the geography of the Arctic.
“Within a decade or less, it’s going to be impossible to reach the North Pole by dog team without flotation(漂浮), ” says Steger.
Climate change is happening, but people can change, too. Their willingness to change will determine the shape of the Earth’s future.
56. Why is Steger about to organize the adventure to the Arctic?
A. To collect evidence for his scientific research.
B. To develop the young people’s adventurous spirit.
C. To let more people enjoy its natural beauty.
D. To let people realize the bad effects of global warming.
57. How can people learn about the progress of Steger’s journey?
A. Through radio programs.
B. By watching TV.
C. On the Internet.
D. By reading their journals.
58. Global warming will lead to many unexpected events except that .
A. the North Pole adventure team led by Steger are not sure about what they are going to see
B. it will be impossible to reach the North Pole just by dogsleds since the sea ice around the North Pole will be melted
C. the animals living in the Arctic are going to face great dangers because their living environment changes
D. more audience will be taken to the front lines of global warming and reflect on their behaviors and way of life
59. According to Steger, people can save the earth by .
A. changing their harmful way of life
B. learning more about the environment
C. willingly giving up their comfortable life
D. getting used to the present changes of the earth
60. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Arctic is in danger
B. Sledding through the Arctic
C. Discoveries of the Arctic
D. Consequences of global warming
第二节:下面文章中有5处(第61~65题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
(2017·西安模拟)
A. Schedule your time
B. Use lists to set priority(优先权)
C. Learn how to read
D. Take good notes and use them
E. Get everything organized
F. Take every chance to study
The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn. Here, according to education experts and students themselves, are the secrets of straight-A students.
61.
Among the students we interviewed, study times were strictly a matter of personal preference. Some worked late at night when the house was quiet. Some learned new words while brushing their teeth. Others awoke early. Still others studied as soon as they came home from school when the work was fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency.
62.
In high school, Jim McCray ran track, played soccer and was in the band and orchestra.
“I was so busy, I couldn’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything right where I could put my hands on it. ” he says. He maintains two folders—one for the day’s assignments, the other for papers completed and graded.
63.
“The best class I ever took, ” says Christopher Campbell, who graduated from high school last spring,
“was speed-reading. I not only increased my words per minute but also learned to look at a book’s table of contents, graphs and pictures first. Then, when I began to read, I had a sense of the material and solved the secret of good reading that an active reader is the one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message. ”
64.
When a teacher assigns a long paper, Domenica draws up a timetable, dividing the project into small pieces so it isn’t so overwhelming.
“It’s like eating steak, ” she says. “you chew it one bite at a time. ” Of course, even the best students delay action sometimes. But when that happens, they face up to it. Sometimes it comes down to late nights. But, if they want As, they make sure to hit the deadline.
65.
“Reading the textbook is important, ” says Anderson,
“but the teacher is going to test you on what he or she emphasized. I usually write down key points from the text on one side and those from the teacher’s lecture on the other. Then I am able to review both aspects of the assignment at once. ” Just before the bell rings, most students get ready to rush out. Anderson uses those few minutes to write a two-or three-sentence summary of the lesson’s principal points, which he scans before the next day’s class.
The most important “secret” of the super-achievers is not so secret. You can learn and master them and become an A student, too.

We can do a lot in our daily life to achieve the goal of low-carbon life. First, we’d better turn off lights if possibly and spend less time watch TV or surfing the Internet. Save water also matters a lot. Beside, we should sort out the rubbish, hoping that we might recycle some of them, which will surely benefit from us a great deal. In addition, we suggest using handkerchief instead of tissues so that we can prevent more trees from cut down. More importantly, when we go out, walking, riding bikes or taking buses should be our first choice, which contribute to a clean world.

Dear Editor,
I am writing to congratulate Mo Yan on winning the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature. Mr. Mo is a great writer and certainly deserves the prize. I am sure that Chinese authors and their works will get more international attention from now on. In the long run, Chinese culture will become more internationally recognised and respected.
Inspired by Mr. Mo, these days the students of our school are reading his novels and the works of other famous Chinese authors. As we know, literature works help us learn
the customs and cultures in the past and at present, at home and abroad. What’s more, they provide us with good examples of writing. Therefore, it benefits us a lot to do more reading.
I do hope that Chinese people will win more Nobel Prizes in the near future.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
