Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Since around the later part of the 1950s，society started to realize that tobacco cigarettes caused health problems.As research progressed along with increasing numbers of people that developed lung cancer，emphysema，and other smoking related illnesses，cigarette smoking has become less accepted and popular.Unfortunately，the nicotine contained in cigarettes is one of the most addictive substances on the planet and makes quitting smoking one of the hardest things to do.In 2003，Chinese pharmacist，Hon Lik invented the electronic cigarette as a safer，and cleaner way to breathe in nicotine after his father，a heavy smoker，passed away from lung cancer attributed to smoking tobacco cigarettes.
Hon Lik applied for his first patent on the electronic cigarette in 2003 and afterwards introduced ecigs to the Chinese market in the following year through his employer，Golden Dragon Holdings.Golden Dragon Holdings later changed the company’s name to “Ruyan” in order to better match the company’s name (Ruyan means “almost like smoke”) to the new product.Since the renaming，the Ruyan company has continued ecigarette development and grown to be one of the largest global ecig manufacturers.
Dr.Sam Han，CEO of Cixi ECIG Technology，Inc，Ltd.also has a number of ecig related inventions，including four patents in the United States and two in China that are electronic cigarette and eliquid technology related.Similar to Hon Lik’s father，Dr.Han was a heavy smoker for more than 40 years before beginning to work on electronic cigarette technologies in order to help himself and others make the shift to vapor smoking.Dr.Han continues to market and conduct R&D in ecig related technologies to this date.
After the successful deployment of the Ruyan and Cixi ECIG electronic cigarettes in
China and Asia，the products started to be sold in significant quantities on the Internet.
1．How many years is it since the electronic cigarette was first invented according to the passage?
A．About 5 years.
B．About 11 years.
C．About 15 years.
D．More than 20 years.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句“In 2003，Chinese pharmacist，Hon Lik invented the electronic cigarette as a safer，and cleaner way to breathe in nicotine...”可知，电子香烟最早是在2003年发明的，距今(2017年)大约有11年。
2．What’s the direct reason why Hon Lik invented the electronic cigarette according to the passage?
A．Tobacco cigarettes caused health problems.
B．Tobacco cigarettes were too expensive for consumers to buy.
C．Quitting smoking became one of the hardest things to do.

答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句话可知，Hon Lik发明电子香烟的直接原因是他的父亲因为长期吸烟而患上肺癌，最终去世了。
3．Since when have Chinese smokers been able to buy Hon Lik’s electronic cigarettes according to the passage?
A．2000.
B．2003.
C．2004.
D．2005
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段首句“Hon Lik applied for his first patent on the electronic cigarette in 2003 and afterwards introduced ecigs to the Chinese market in the following year...”可知，虽然他在2003年就申请了电子香烟的专利，但直到2004年他的产品才推向中国市场。

The other day，I noticed a message on a friend’s page.It made me very sad.She says she is the one who reaches out to people，but rarely do they reach out to her.So，after communicating with her for a while，I began to challenge my friends.“Contact someone right now.Send messages or call someone who you haven’t spoken to for a while，or who you only talk to when they message or call you.Let someone who may feel alone in the world right this moment know that they are not alone.That is my challenge to you.Please do it，and let me know once you have.Either by calling me back，or by sending me a message.Be the change that you want to see in the world.”
The response was great.28 people liked my post，another 10 posted that they did，and I got about a dozen messages telling me that they did.And there was one very special message：
“I just want you to know what has happened.That day，I sent a message to a friend who I hadn’t heard from for a while.She and I talked for a whole day back and forth on messages and then on the phone.She said she was so incredibly sad.Nobody had spoken with her in two weeks.By the tone of her voice，and by the conversations we were having，I think she was about to take her own life (自杀)．After our conversation，she has agreed to talk to someone.Your message of kindness has saved her.I can’t wait to tell you how thankful I am for people like you in the world，who care when nobody else will.I am proud to call myself your friend.Thank you！”
I didn’t quite know what to say after reading the mefssage.I was wondering how best to use it for the greater good.I decided that sharing what we have done is the most powerful way.I know that I am a cheerleader when it comes to making the world a better place with kindness，because if I help someone，it makes me feel better.I do it because I need to feel better.

too much.We often think it’s normal，but in truth，it’s just unnecessary stress which causes us to

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Next time you fly，here’s the perfect excuse to switch off your work computer，put down the crossword and settle down with a drink and a movie.Travelling by plane can make it more difficult to think.
Professor David Gradwell advises fliers to sit back and relax rather than keeping busy by doing puzzles or important work.This is because the air pressure on planes is lower than it is at sea level，making it harder for the brain to make use of oxygen in the air，thus affecting its performance.
Typically，when a plane is cruising at 40,000ft，the air pressure in the cabin will be equal to that found outside at 6,000 to 8,000ft.Learning can be damaged at 8,000ft，so you don’t want to make the biggest decision of your life on planes.
However，if you are practiced in a task，it is unlikely your performance will be affected.If you regularly do a crossword，you are going to be fine.But if it is something that is new to you，you are probably not going to do it well.This explains why commercial pilots’ thinking is not impaired.
Professor Gradwell said his advice could become even more important if Internet access becomes widespread on planes，meaning businessmen and businesswomen are more likely to use flying time to work.“Those looking forward to having emails in flight might want to think twice about sending that email to the manager，” he said.
The condition，called “economy class syndrome(经济舱综合症)”，has caused anxiety among holidaymakers，business people and frequent fliers.But Mr.Gradwell said it is extremely rare，other than in those who have latestage cancer or another medical condition that causes blood clots(凝血块)．Flying is safe.Millions of people do it every year，without any issues at all.
1．According to the passage，while on a plane，
.
A．the brain’s performance has nothing to do with the air pressure
B．the brain’s performance will be reduced
C．the passengers can take in enough fresh air to relax
D．it’s dangerous for the pilots as well as passengers
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。从文章第二段第二句可知，飞机上气压低，会令人脑部含氧量降低，减弱思考能力。
2．What advice does Mr.Gradwell give to us?
A．Doing crosswords on a plane can kill time.
B．People might as well try some new tasks on a plane.
C．People should eat less when travelling by plane.
D．Fliers should sit and relax instead of keeping working.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句和下文内容可知，Professor David Gradwell建议乘客坐飞机时，应该放松、休息，而非继续工作。
3．Who are most likely to finish tasks as usual?
A．Teachers with rich experience.
B．Successful businessmen.
C．Commercial pilots.
D．Frequent fliers.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。从文章第四段内容可知，机舱气压低，令脑部含氧量降低，思考能力减弱，这时候不适合作重大决定。但是，面对熟悉的事物则不会太受影响，故高空气压不会影响已习惯操控飞机的机师的思维。故正确答案应为选项C。
4．Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．You Should not Make Key Decisions on a Plane
B．Be Careful When Travelling by Plane
C．Never Send Emails on a Plane
D．Why Shouldn’t You Travel by Plane
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。根据文章第一段和下文内容可知，坐飞机时气压低，会令人脑部含氧量降低，此时勿作重要决定。故最佳题目应为：You should not make key decisions on a plane。

Ⅲ.语法填空
Some years ago，a sixyearold boy suffered burns over 85% of his body.25.His condition was so bad that several doctors gave him up and one hospital would not admit him because they thought he would die anyway.
His life 26.was saved(save)，however，by eight brave people—his parents，three nurses and three doctors，especially the nurses.
After other nurses had quit，these women took turns to take care of the boy,27.seeing(see) him through skin grafts(移植)，operations，crucial periods in 28.which death almost gained victory.
His room measured 12 feet by 12 feet and the door was shut.The nurses stayed 29.with him，dressed in caps，masks and gloves as if they were assisting 30.an operation.Within an hour they got sweaty.For 14 long months the nurses gave their all to the boy.One day，31.when/as he got up，they were really satisfied and happy.
It was a great day！The nurses were rewarded for their efforts.32.What caused them to feel so satisfied？I think it was more than simply the fact that the boy survived.Together they attempted something nearly 33.impossible(possible)，but also truly worthwhile.
It is like something American educator Booker T．Washington once said，“The 34.happiest(happy) are those who do the most for others.”
