A
A young and successful manager was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar.
As his car passed a park, one child appeared, and a brick smashed into the Jaguar's side door. He stopped the car very suddenly and drove the Jag back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown. He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what on earth are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
"Please, sir, please, I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!" begged the youngster. "It's my brother," he said. "He fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."
Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump(隆起的肿块)in his throat．He lifted the young mail back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes(擦痕)and cuts, checking to see if everything was going to be okay.
"Thank you, sir. And God bless you, "the grateful child said to him. The man then watched the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long walk back to his Jaguar... a long, slow walk. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent(凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention.
Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes, when you don't have the time to listen... Life throws a brick at your head.
It's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick!

22．Why did the manager never repair the dent?

C．He didn't care about his car as it was.D．He wanted to keep it as a reminder.
23．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Life Throws a Brick at Your HeadB．Be Careful of the Brick on the Way.
C．A Misfortune Happened to a ManagerD．How a Boy Gave the Manager a Lesson

Dear World:
My son starts school today. It's going to be strange and new to him for a while. And I wish you would sort of treat him gently.
You see, up to now, he's been king of the house. He's been boss of the backyard. I have always been around to repair his wounds, and to ease his feelings.
But now things are going to be different.
This morning, he's going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand and start on his great adventure that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow.
So, World, I wish you would sort of take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know. Teach him but gently, if you can. Teach him the wonders of books. Give him quiet time to ponder(思考) the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hill. Teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat. Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone else tells him they are wrong. Teach him to sell his physical strength and brains to the person who offers the most money, but never to put a price on his heart and soul. Teach him to close his ears to a criminal gang (团伙) ...and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right. Teach him gently, World, but don't coddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel.

Beijing residents could be rewarded with up to 500,000 yuan if they can provide useful information on spies or related activities, according to a government policy that took effect on Monday.
Under the policy, informants will be offered rewards ranging, from 10,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan, depending on how useful the information is, according to the policy issued by the National Security Bureau(安全局) of Beijing. Informants can pass information to authorities by calling a hotline, sending letters or visiting the bureau.
Informants' privacy and information about spy-related messages will not be disclosed, while information providers can ask authorities for protection if they or their relatives are in danger due to the act of informing, according to the policy.
However, informants will face punishments if they slander (诽谤) others on purpose or invent and spread false information, the policy states clearly.
The bureau said that China is witnessing rapid increases in international exchanges and the number of people entering or exiting the country each year. "Meanwhile, overseas espionage agencies(间谍机构)and other unfriendly forces have also strengthened their disruptive(破坏的) activities in China, including political, economical and military information." it said.
Some Chinese individuals have also betrayed the nation to benefit their private interests, which offers overseas espionage agencies opportunities, the bureau said, adding that Beijing is the primary location for such activities. Therefore, it's necessary to take new measures in anti-espionage investigation, and to encourage the participation of the general public.
One of the most recent cases made public occurred in the eastern province of Jiangsu in January. Two residents in Lianyungang city, surnamed Zhang and Wan, called the national security authorities after they found a device with instructions in foreign languages while fishing in the Yellow Sea. The device was later found to be spying equipment made and used by overseas agencies to collect data, according to an official release.
China has strengthened Iegislation(立法) on State security in recent years. Facing a more complex State security situation, in 2017, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress adopted the Counterespionage Law.
28．From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A．few citizens show an interest in the policy
B．informants are always offered rewards for their reports
C．informants will definitely make great fortunes
D．informants might come across a certain risk
29．Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Information can be offered via different means.
B．It is more effective to get ordinary people involved.
C．No citizens have associated with overseas espionage agencies.
D．Whoever makes up false information will be punished.
30．Based on the passage, we can conclude that ________.
A．spies take advantage of our opening-up policy
B．the example mentioned is just a rare exception
C．with the Counterespionage Law, the security situation has improved a lot
D．overseas espionage agencies are only interested in Beijing
31．Where is the passage likely to be taken from?
A．A textbook.
B．A newspaper.C．A legal document.
D．A story-book.
D
Based on new analysis, we are rapidy approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe. Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions (极地)will get colder while tropical(热带的)regions will gt even hotter, forcing animals to migrate(迁徙)north．
Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only, increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.
According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today's familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today's world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. The. planet, itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was completely destroyed in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.
Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. At this point, it doesn't matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What's more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.
However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this. No. one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.
32．What is the major function of Paragraph 1?
A．To arouse the readers' concern.B．To introduce the theme.
C．To summarize the whole passage.D．To state how the climate changes.
33．What is the author's purpose in using the examples of earthquakes?
A．To show major changes are taking place on the planet.
B．To remind people to prevent future earthquakes.
C．To show the damage earthquakes caused.
D．To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future.
34．Which of the following is NOT true of the climate change's effects?
A．Animals and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.
B．It could lead to the spread of diseases.
C．Current world climate zones could shift and completely disappear.
D．Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.
35．What can be inferred from the Passage?
A．Animals and plants won't die out as long as climate changes slowly.
B．There's enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.
C．The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.
D．The earth is not the only planet that is experiencing Climate change.

第二节:书面表达
Suppose everyone has such two choices: one is a productive life with a widespread fame; the other is an ordinary but happy one. Which choice to take will possibly put some people into a dilemma.
Yet my answer is easy and definite: I will decide on the latter one. For one thing, I don't see much talent in myself, and by no means am I likely to become a master like Edison or Lu Xun. Therefore it is unnecessary to wear myself out by struggling for those impractical goals. For another, "ordinary" does mean not idling my life away, but spending time with my family and doing what I enjoy best, such as reading my favorite books or traveling around. Anyway, I'm greatly convinced that most people, like me, have the desire to spend their life in happiness.
