(A)
Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States, and he was also the only United States president to hold a patent (专利).
Lincoln was born on February 12,1809. As a young man, he had a strong interest in new technology. He once worked on the Mississippi River as a boat worker. One day, the boat rushed onto a dam (水坝) and was set free only after a long time. In later years, while traveling on the Great Lakes, Lincoln's ship met similar trouble. These two similar experiences led him to think about his invention. Abraham Lincoln received a patent on May 22,1849. The invention was used to help out the boats or ships that met trouble in shallow water or beach. But it was never on the market. Abraham Lincoln made the model for his patent with his own hands out of wood. It is on display at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History.
In 1858, Abraham Lincoln called the introduction of patent laws “one of the three most important developments in the world's history”, along with the discovery of America and the perfection of printing.
During the Civil War, Lincoln took a personal interest in new weapons, calling on the use of machine guns and so on.
46. Which statement about Lincoln's invention is NOT true?
A. It was about how to build a dam. B. It was used to help ships or boats in trouble.
C. It was never on the market. D. Lincoln made a model for his invention.
47. In Lincoln's mind, “the three most important developments in the world's history” didn't include .
A. the introduction of patent laws B. the discovery of America
C. the invention of machine guns D. the perfection of printing
48. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. How did Lincoln become a president? B. A president to hold a patent!
C. Abraham Lincoln's early life. D. When did Abraham Lincoln get a patent?
(B)
The China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (中国扶贫基金会) has started a program to hire and train 100 local women as substitute mothers (替代妈妈) to take care of left-behind children. The three-year program will select 100 villages across Sichuan Province and hire one woman for each village.
“It is a model to solve the problem of left-behind children,” said Liu Wenkui, secretary of the foundation. The “substitute mothers” will do parents’ job, finding out what the children need and helping them with problems. Each substitute mother will take care of about 300 to 500 children. There will be a “children's home” in each village to be the mother's office and children's playingSPAce. Their job is to provide quick service and discover the children's problems.
The program hopes to hire women aged 19 to 55 years old from the villages. “We want to hire full-time ‘mothers’ to make sure they won't think about other work,” Liu said. “We want local women because they understand local languages and cultures.” The program in Sichuan is an experiment, and Liu said, “If it is a successful model, we will start it in the whole country.”
“If parents are forced to leave home to earn a living and unable to take their children with them, we are looking for a transitional (过渡的) way to solve the problem,” he added.
49. How long will the program last?
A. Three months. B. A year. C. Three years. D. Ten years.
50. Who is possible to be a substitute mother?
A. A girl at the age of 18. B. A woman with a part-time job.
C. A man from the local village. D. A woman who knows local language.
51. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. A substitute mother plays a role of parents.
B. Each substitute mother will take care of about 300 to 500 children.
C. Each village will have a “children's home”.
D. The children's parents will pay for the substitute mother.
52. What's the best title for the passage?
A. Left-behind Children's Problems B. Substitute Mothers in Villages
C. Left-behind Women's Problems D. Substitute Children in Villages
(C)
We can express thoughts and feelings and send sounds and pictures on our smartphones today. We can't send tastes,smells or touch. But some scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smartphones to do that.
To give users a sense of taste, Adrian David Cheok and some other scientists designed two electrodes (电极片). “You put these two electrodes in your mouth, you put your tongue in between and then your tongue will get a virtual taste perception (虚拟味觉) in your brain,” said Professor Cheok. They have already created sour, salty, sweet and bitter tastes.
A device called “Scentee” permits users to have the sense of smell. Scientists put a Scentee into a smartphone, and it can spray (喷射) small clouds of fragrance, including flowers, fruits and coffee. Professor Cheok says the person speaking can activate (激活) the device. Scentee holds a container with about 100 different smells. The container must be replaced when all the smells run out.
The sense of touch comes from a ring-like device. It is connected wirelessly to the smartphone. “I can be in London and my friend can be in Tokyo, and I can squeeze my finger and then they'll get a squeeze on their finger through the Internet. It's a way of touch communication with small mobile devices,” Professor Cheok said.
Professor Cheok hopes devices like these will someday be added to houses. He says they may change the future of long-distance communication.
53. Adrian David Cheok and some other scientists are trying to .
A. make smartphones smaller B. make smartphones send sounds and pictures
C. make smartphones much cheaper D. make smartphones send tastes, smells and touch
54. According to the passage, the tongue will get a virtual taste perception by .
A. putting the smartphone into the mouth
B. touching two electrodes in the mouth
C. touching the device called “Scentee”
D. connecting to a ring-like device wirelessly
55. What does the underlined word “fragrance” mean ?
A. 痛苦 B. 权利 C. 香味 D. 力量
56. From the third paragraph we can infer(推断) that .
A. different smells can be put inside Scentee
B. the container can only hold 50 different smells
C. people needn't activate the device called Scentee
D. all the smells can be reused, so they won't run out
57. What's the main idea of this passage?
A. The history of long-distance communication.
B. Future smartphones can send tastes, smells and touch.
C. How smartphones work.
D. Smartphones make people's communication convenient.

Many countries all over the world have National Parks. There are about 7,000 National Parks around the world. Most of them protect natural settings as well as the plants and animals that live there, but a few are in towns and cities.
Are there National Parks in England?
There are nine National Parks in England. The first three were the Peak District, the Lake District and Dartmoor, which were all named as National Parks in 1951. Others followed afterwards, such as the North York Moors in 1952, the New Forest in 2005 and the South Downs in 2010.
Are there any problems in the National Parks?
First, there are about 110 million visitors to the parks every year, bringing many benefits to the areas but creating problems too. Many popular towns and villages can be swamped(使淹没) by visitors. This results in overcrowded car parks and roads choked with traffic. Life can be difficult for people who live there, as more and more gift shops and cafes are opened instead of those everyday shops; in popular areas, house prices can become too high for local people making it hard for them to stay in the area.
Another major problem is litter. In the parks it is a particular danger to animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. When these start in wild places, they are much harder to control and can damage large areas very quickly.
How can people help?
All National Parks in England promote the Countryside Code, which tells people how to take care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be protected and continue to give pleasure to many people for a long time.
73. What were the first three National Parks in England?
74. What two main problems do the National Parks in England have?
75. Do you think it necessary to protect the National Parks? Why or Why not?

Dear Mr Lee,
I’m very glad to write to you. I have some problems and feel really stressed these days. Every day I have so much homework to do that I feel sleepy in class the next day. I hardly have any spare time for sports, which makes my life very boring.
I know it is important to finish all my homework on time, so I am trying to plan my day carefully. And it will help me relax by taking exercise or listening to music. Sometimes, when I feel tired, I will look at the color of blue, as blue can bring peace to my mind and body.
But I still can’t solve some of my problems. For example, my parents don’t want me to do my homework while listening to music. They think it makes me distracted…(自己补充2点) (e.g. I’m not allowed to watch TV or surf the Internet./I don’t have any close friends. Sometimes I feel lonely./ My parents do not allow me to play football after school. etc.)
What should I do? Can you offer me some suggestions? I hope to have a good talk with you soon.
Best wishes,
Sandy

The rich man said, “That bag is too small. How will you fill the room?” The man took a candle out of the bag. He lit the candle and said, “You see, the whole room is filled with light!”

Today, an increasing number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are called the “Heads-down Tribe(低头族)”. Are you a heads-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.
More and more traffic accident are happening because drivers use mobile phones when they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, heads-down tribe members who use mobile phones while driving will be fined ¥200.
As we can see above, using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost money. Besides, more and more interesting things happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. According to a piece of interesting TV news, a man in America kept using his mobile phone on his way home. Suddenly, he bumped(撞上) into a big lost bear. When he lifted his eyes from the phone, he was so scared that he ran away as quickly as possible.
Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. It’s strange that they don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone all the time.
Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools for modern life. Are mobile phones good or bad? It depends on how people use them. Let’s be “healthy” users and try not to be the “ Heads-up Tribe”.
( )76. Who are called the “ Heads-down Tribe” according to the passage?

B. People who are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down.

while driving?

( )79.When heads-down tribe members eat in a restaurant,_____________.
A. they don’t use their mobile phones B. they don’t talk to the people who sit opposite
C. they talk to the strangers all the time D. they eat food all the time

What is a good excuse to ask for some time off ? At your school, sickness may be the only one. But in British schools, family events are also well-accepted ones. The National Association of Head Teachers in the UK has written new guidelines about students asking for leave. They will allow parents to take their children out of school for family weddings(婚礼) or funerals(葬礼)or visiting an ill relative.
This is a change from the 2013 guidelines that stopped parents taking children out of school without permission. Otherwise, they could have gotten a fine of 60 pounds (about 600 yuan) or faced court(法庭). Family events were not proper excuse to get permission.
Many parents complained(抱怨) about this rule.
“Taking family events is very important for children growth and that in itself a lesson the schools cannot ever teach our children,”John Hemming,chairman of Parents Want A Say organization, told The Independent.
The new change supports this idea and gives permission to students taking time off for family events. It’s now OK for British students to take time off for family events.
In China, however, many students rarely have time off for family events.
“That’s part of the reason for the generation gap (代沟)between parents and children,” Guo Hongxia, research at National Institute of Education Sciences, wrote in China Education Daily.
( )81. In Chinese schools, _________ is a good excuse to ask for time off.
A. any excuse B. only sickness C. school sport D. family event
( )82. In the UK now, parents won’t allow to take out their children out of school because of ______.
A. family weddings B. family funerals
C. fishing organization D. visiting an ill relative
( )83. Before 2013, _________could get a fine or face court after taking children out without permission in the UK.
A. Parents Want A Say B. the head teachers of the school
C. children’s teachers D. children’s parents
( )84. The phrase this idea of the sentence The new change supports this ides refers to _________.
A. schools can’t teach children the important growth lesson in family events
B. family events were not proper excuse to get permission after 2013
C. the Independent didn’t agree with Parents Want A Say .
D. taking family events isn’t important for the children’s growth
( )85. According to the passage, we know that _________.
A. in the UK, there’s a big generation gap between parents and children
B. in china, many students seldom have time off for family events
C. there’s no difference between the rules of taking day off in the world
D. all the students aren’t allowed to take time off for family events

“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly greeting that people in the United States use. __106__ It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks, “How are you?” expects to hear the answer “Fine,” even if the person isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. ___107__.
Sometimes, people don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” the other person may be thinking, “No, I don’t. I think you are wrong.” It isn’t polite to disagree very strongly, so he might say, “I am not so sure.” ___108___
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to other people. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one person says, “I’ve got to go now,” or the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse such as “Someone is at the door,” or “Something is burning on the stove.” ___109___ The person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say so. An excuse is polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. ___110___
A. This is a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
B. It’s very good not to tell the truth to our family.
C. However, “How are you?” is also an unusual question.
D. The excuse may be real, or not.
E. They are common ways of saying “hello” or hi”.
F. If you disagree with others, they will hate you.
G. This is one way of being nice to people, and it’s a part of the game of language.

What happens when we want to do something impossible? It may seem unlikely, but it is our true nature. It may seem silly, but it is our heart’s purpose.
Once there was a strong camel. She liked dancing very much. She wanted to be a ballet (芭蕾舞) dancer. “To make every movement a thing of beauty,” said the camel, “is my dream.”
Again and again she practiced. She repeated the five basic positions a hundred times each day. She worked for long months under the hot sun, but not once did she think of stopping.
At last the camel said, “Now, I am a dancer.” She gave a performance and danced before an invited group of friends. She did very well. When her dance was over, she made a deep bow.
There was no applause (鼓掌). Instead, everyone laughed at her.
“I must tell you frankly,” said one of her friends, “you are lumpy and humpy. You don’t have any talent in dancing. You are, like the rest of us, simply a camel. You are just an animal. You are not and never will be a ballet dancer!” With these words, they moved away across the sand, laughing and joking.
“How wrong they are!” said the camel. “I have worked hard. I will be a good dancer. I will dance and dance just for myself.” That is what she did. It gave her many years of pleasure.
She practiced hard and made much progress in her dancing skills. Occasionally, the camel was chosen to perform at an animal party before her old friends. The camel was lucky because she knew exactly what she wanted and she never gave up.

On the first day of the New Year 2017,I made up my mind to go to Thailand to teach English as a volunteer. At the beginning, all I cared about was travelling and seeing the world. I didn’t know how fantastic my life would be in the coming months!
My journey began with attending TESOL certification(认证) course in my home state of Florida last February. After 3 weekends of study and another 40 hours’ study online, I received my TESOL certificate(证书).
I was asked to contact Philip,who is Program Director of the Teach in Thailand. After discussing with Philip,I chose my school and after many months of excitement,I finally flew to Thailand in early April and I couldn’t wait to explore the country!
After a few weeks of single travel,I met up with Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok. It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me,see some cool sights and walk in Thailand’s cities! After that, I attended the weeklong seminar(研讨会). At the end of the seminar, I was transported to my school—Anuban Buriram Primary School.
I truly love my job—I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest and most active kids in the world. It’s a truly fantastic thing that you can see the difference you make in someone else’s life, right in front of you!
Buriram is a small city with green rice fields. People here are more friendly than anyone I’ve ever met—I’ve never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received,where everyone you pass is so friendly to say “Hello” and “Good morning”. I’ve been taken out to countless dinners,and been lent a guitar,a camera,and I am given Thai treats and the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to repay(回报) them in the future.
58. To teach English in a foreign country, one has to .
A. graduate from university B. receive a certificate of TESOL
C. be trained in a summer course D. take a course online
59. What di d the writer do right away after arriving in Thailand?
A. He travelled around Thailand by himself. B. He had a discussion with Philip.
C. He attended a seminar in Bangkok. D. He met with other volunteers.
60. In the last paragraph the writer is trying to show .
A. that Buriram is small but very beautiful
B. that the Thai treats are fresh and delicious
C. how generous and friendly the Thai people are
D. that he wants to repay the people who helped him
61. The writer wrote this passage in order to .

When watching sports events, we often notice athletes wearing earphones before the competition. They keep their eyes shut, and gently nod along the beats. It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the competition. But is there any science behind such practices? [来源:学科网]
According to a new research, it turns out there is. Music makes us feel powerful, but not all songs have the same effect.
The research was led by Dennis Hsu of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in the US. His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types. The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs, for example Queen’s We Will Rock You and 2 Unlimited’s Get Ready for This.
Researchers also found that high-power music made people want to take control in social events and come first in competition.
That matters a lot in sports. “It’s commonly said that sports are 90 percent mental(心理的) and only 10 percent physical(身体的),” The Huffington Post reported.
Great athletes know this idea well. NBA player Kobe Bryant, for example, often puts on big headphones and even falls into deep thought to boost his game and reduce his anxiety(焦虑).
Why does music have magical power? Hsu’s team explained: when people hear music that expresses a sense of power, they mimic (模拟) these feelings in their mind.
When choosing music, we also need to look at the type of music, according to researchers.
In the research by the Music in Exercise and Sport Group at Brunel University in London, they found that pop was perfect for slower tasks. If you’re warming up or cooling down after exercises, pop songs are the correct choice. Dance music was found to be best suitable for strength and weight training.
62. With the first paragraph, the writer mainly wants to ______.
A. prove the music can help athletes win the competition
B. describe athletes’ common habits before sports games
C. get readers to wonder whether music matters in sports
D. explain why athletes like listening to music bef ore games
63. Which of the following might Dennis Hsu agree with?
A. Listening to music always makes an athlete come first in their competition.
B. People listening to powerful music may produce similar feelings in their mind.
C. Most athletes still don’t know the influence of high-power music on their games.
D. The result of a game is mainly influenced by the physical condition of the players.
64. What does the underlined word “boost” in the sixth paragraph probably mean?
A. control B. lose C. continue D. improve
65. The wrier makes his points clear mainly ______.
A. by comparing B. by giving examples
C. by giving general rules D. by using English sayings

same class today.
After the bell rang, every student sat in his or her seat impatiently. Then, one by one, the
teacher called our names.
As each paper was given back to the correct student, the front of the answer paper would always be turned to face the ground and the paper itself would be slightly folded (折叠) to prevent anyone from seeing.
In fact, folding each test paper is a way to make sure that each student sees only his or her own scores. The scores are seen as private information not to be announced or shown to others. As a way to keep the students' score records secret, each student is given an online account (帐号) with which to check his or her grades posted on the official school website.
Protecting students' private information always comes first in US schools that want to free students from unnecessary pressure. School reports are guarded closely to prevent poor grades from damaging a student's dignity and reputation (尊严和声誉), which are for himself or herself only.
However, some insist that although students' feelings and self-dignity are easily hurt, they cannot be forever protected. They say that school also teach their students to make themselves stronger in mind, and the classroom should show the reality of competition in society. Scores that everyone can see might better encourage students to work harder to be better than others.

Jack was a third-year student in a primary school. He was not interested in his lessons. He spent most of his time reading stories, having sports or watching TV. At night, he stayed up late because of cartoons or sports games. In the morning, he usually hurried to school. Sometimes he was so tired that he slept in class.
His mother was worried about his poor school work. She tried to make him work harder. She told him that if he could get a hundred in the exam, he would be given ten dollars as a prize. Jack was very happy to hear that.
The next day, he came running home. "Oh, Mum, I got a hundred." he shouted, "I got forty in reading this morning and sixty in spelling this afternoon."
