选择题（共三大题，总分62分）
一：阅读理解(共16小题，每小题2分，满分32分)
第一节：阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。（共11小
题；每小题2分，满分22分）
A
We don’t know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.
At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet----even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today----we will feel a little lonely.
Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.
Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition.
Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.
1. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?
A. Because the number of people will become much smaller.
B. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.
C. Because people won’t like making friends with each other.
D. Because there will be less face-to-face communication.
2. According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?
A. It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.
B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.
C. The relationship between people will be more important than today.
D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.
3. The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.
A. disappointed
B. optimistic
C. curious
D. surprised
4. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.
B. What high technology will appear in the year 2050.
C. How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050.
D. What our life will be like in the year 2050.
B
There are many beautiful places in Europe worth visiting. Among them Greece is right at the top. A vacation to Greece will give you everything you ever want in a holiday. The attractive hot springs, beautiful villages, rich history, delicious seafood and beautiful beaches are all here. The streets are always alive with music, fireworks and celebrations. Winter is the time to enjoy some great skiing, with so many mountains around here that offer this sport.
Spain is the second largest tourist destination in the world. It’s one of the first countries in the world to develop summer beach vacations. Spain, along with Italy, officially has the most world heritage sites, 42 to be exact. With so many mountainous regions, Spain is big when it comes to the winter vacation. Lastly, for great nightlife, you’d love to be in Barcelona or Madrid.
Switzerland is the most popular winter destination in the world. It has 15000 miles running through mountainous regions. The Swiss Alps attract people from all over the world. If you think Switzerland is only a winter holiday destination, you’re mistaken. The same places are popular in summer too. Hiking is popular in summer. Switzerland is also proud of Jungfraujoch — the highest train station in Europe. Switzerland has developed an amazing transport network, and each and every mountain village can be got to by some kind of public transport.
Venice of Italy is another great destination. It has an amazing history and is famous for its beautiful architecture. There are many old churches worth visiting. Venice is also filled with many art galleries. The Grand Canal is a long canal that runs right through the city. This is referred to as the most beautiful street in the whole of Venice. The city, made up of 117 small islands, is amazingly linked by 400 bridges over 150 canals.

As student，I can tell you that there is nothing better than be praised by my teacher before my classmates.
Li Ming and I went home together after school in yesterday afternoon. Suddenly we saw an old lady knock down by a car. The driver ran away in his car. Li Ming and I ran over and found whether the old lady’s head was bleeding. She had already lost consciousness. Li Ming went to stop a taxi quickly. Immediate, I took out my handkerchief and covered the wound with them. Soon, Li Ming came back with the taxi. Together we put the old lady into the taxi and drive her to the nearest hospital.
The old lady was saved and we also felt pleasing. We also reminded her to exercise extreme caution when crossing the road. What’s more, I remembered the car’s number but the traffic police caught the driver quickly.

第二节作文
Dear teachers，
I’m writing to persuade you to let us use the smartphone in our daily life. We know you’re afraid that we may be addicted to phone games, which will affect our study. Actually, every coin has its two sides. We still think that using the smartphone can bring us much more advantages.
First of all, I think it would be better if we can use the smartphone because not only can we go through a wide range of learning resources on the Internet but also we can download the WeCourses provided by our school. Furthermore, we can broaden our horizons by reading various news online. Last but not least, as high school students, we are building up our sense of judgment. Given chances, we are sure that we will learn how to use the smatphone effectively.
I do hope you can take my suggestion into consideration and make a final decision. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Ming
