The plant’ s small yellow flowers ‎ were not very bright, but it had very beautiful fruit, round, smooth, and shiny, which turned bright red or yellow as it ripened (成熟). It was beautiful but poisonous, or people believed so. Other people believed it has magic powers. ‎ ‎ Early Spanish explorers who found this plant growing wild in South and Central America, carried it back to Europe. These plants appeared in gardens in Italy as early as 1554. They must have been the kind that had yellow fruit, because the Italians called the plant “pomidoro”, or apple of gold. By 1750, the plant was grown as a curious plant throughout Europe. Some people were even brave enough to eat the fruit. ‎ ‎ In ‎1781 in America, Thomas Jefferson raised and ate love apples, but few followed his example. Thirty years later, the love apples were used as food in Louisiana, and by 1835, a few people in the northern states were willing to experiment with them too. But even as late as 1900, there were people who still believed that these “ apples of gold ” were poisonous. ‎ ‎ Although people did not eat fruit of this plant, they liked looking at it in their gardens. Later, when they learned it was both good-tasting and good for them, they moved the love apple plant from the flower garden to the vegetable garden. They learned to call it by a new name “tomato”. ‎ ‎( ) 45. The article mainly tells about _____.‎ ‎ A. poisonous fruit in America B. Italians who are very curious ‎ ‎ C. the history of the tomato plant D. the fruits eaten by Thomas Jefferson ‎( ) 46. Why did people raise this plant in their gardens?‎ ‎ A. They liked eating it. B. They enjoyed looking at it. ‎ ‎ C. They thought gold would grow. D. It was the only choice they had.‎ ‎( ) 47. Which seems true according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. What is not popular today may be popular tomorrow. ‎ ‎ B. The apple of gold belongs only to flower gardens. ‎ ‎ C. Thomas Jefferson ate all his plants. ‎ ‎ D. It was the Americans who first ate tomatoes.‎ ‎ B One night about nine o’clock, Dr. Eyck, a surgeon(外科医生), had a phone call from Dr. Haydon at the hospital in Clens‎ ‎Falls. The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on ‎ a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.‎ The doctor was soon on his way to Clens‎ ‎Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the sky. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 o’clock. A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat. Gun in hand, the man ordered the doctor to get out. Then the man drove the car down the road, leaving the doctor in the falling snow.‎ It was after two o’clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clens‎ ‎Falls. Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before. The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands.‎ ‎“Mr. Cunningham,” said Dr. Haydon to the man, “this is Dr. Eyck. He is the surgeon who came all the way from Albany to save your boy.” ‎ ‎( ) 48. Choose the right order of the events given in the story.‎ ‎ a.

Who should be responsible for (对……负责) the boy’s death?‎ ‎ A. The hospital. B. The boy’s father.‎ ‎ C. Dr. Haydon. D. Dr. Eyck.‎ ‎ C What should you take in with you when you take an exam? Pen, pencil, eraser, ruler…,‎ ‎ and don’t forget a bottle of water!‎ According to a study at the British Psychological (心理学的) Society Annual Conference held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their grades by up to 10 percent.‎ Scientists at the University‎ of ‎East London and the University of Westminster, UK, did a study on 447 students. The students were studying for different degrees (学历) at the University of East London. Only 25 percent of them entered the exam hall with something to drink.‎ Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought drinks with them got better grades by between 2 and 10 percent.‎ It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a helpful effect on our brains. Drinking water may also cut down on anxiety (焦虑), which has a bad effect on exam performances, according to Chris Pawson, PhD, of the University of East London.‎ ‎“Whatever the explanation, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的)with water during exams,” he said.‎ So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you. Who knows – it may help you pass the exam! ‎ ‎( ) 51．How many students in the study got better grades?‎ A. About 112 students who brought drinks or water into their exams.‎ B. All the 447 students who come from the University‎ of ‎East London.‎ C. About 300 students who took part in the study.‎ D. About 10 percent of the students who studied different subjects.‎ ‎( ) 52．The underlined phrase “cut down on” probably means _______.‎ A. increase B. bring C. reduce D. change ‎( ) 53．According to the passage, how does water help students in exams?‎ a. It is good for their brains. b. It makes students smarter.‎ c. It helps students stay cool. d. It helps students stay awake.‎ A. a b B. a c C. b c D. c d ‎ ‎ ‎ D Worldwide，almost as many women as men die from heart disease. Yet most treatment methods have come from studies of men. Researchers are now learning more about ways that heart disease can be different in women．‎ For example, they say a condition called coronary microvascular syndrome(冠脉微血管综合症)appears to be more common in women than men．‎ When a heart attack is suspected，doctors look for a major blockage(阻塞物)in the arteries(动脉)that supply oxygen to the heart. With coronary microvascular syndrome, fatty material spreads evenly(均匀地)in very small arteries of the heart．This buildup of plaque(血小板)along the artery wall narrows the flow of oxygen. The pain can be similar to that of blocked arteries．‎ But doctors often miss this condition because it does not show up in the usual tests for blockages. Women are often sent home，thinking they are OK．Yet many are at high risk for a heart attack．‎ In USA，researchers say as many as three million women could have coronary microvascular syndrome．The Journal of the American College of Cardiology recently published findings from a government study．‎ The study is called the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation(妇女缺血综合征的评价)，or WISE．Ischemic heart disease involves restricted blood flow．The study began in nineteen ninety-six and involves more than nine hundred women who suffer chest pain．‎ Researchers found large blockages in major arteries in about one-third of the women. The other women looked clear on an angiogram(血管造影)test for blockages．But the researchers say half of them had enough buildup in small arteries to cause a heart attack within five years．‎ In men and women both，the most common warning sign is chest pain．But women are more likely to experience other common signs like shortness of breath，a sick stomach and pain in the back or jaw．A cold sweat and feeling lightheaded can also mean a heart attack．‎ ‎( ) 54．Which of the following may be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Tests of ten Miss a Hidden Heart-Attack Risk in Women ‎ B. Researchers Find New Ways in Treating Heart Diseases ‎ C. Researchers Find Heart Disease Treatment Methods for Women ‎ D. Women’s Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation Study ‎( ) 55．In order to find ways in treating heart disease ________．‎ ‎ A. the government has wasted large amount of money in the research work ‎ B. researchers used to make studies of both men and women ‎ C. researchers used to make studies of men ‎ D. researchers used to make studies of women ‎( ) 56．Which of the following is TRUE?‎ ‎ A. A lot more men die as a result of heart disease than women do．‎ B. Women are more likely to suffer coronary microvascular syndrome than men．‎ ‎ C. Warning signs of heart disease are common in men and women．‎ ‎ D. Heart disease can’t be different in men and women．‎ ‎( ) 57．Women’s Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation Study was organized ________.‎ ‎ A. by some medical researchers ‎ B. by the American government ‎ C. by the American‎ ‎College of Cardiology ‎ D. by the American patients suffering from heart disease 第II卷（主观题共40分）‎ 五、词汇运用 （本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）‎ A）根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词。‎ ‎58.

And now, even regular students are going in for online education, as it leaves them with enough time to do other things, such as a part-time job or a hobby, along with studying. However, as with everything, there are two sides about online schooling.‎ Let’s start with the good side. Online schools cost very little. You don’t have to spend money on books, or bus fees. Also, since you can work along with studying at an online school, you would not need to take an education loan(贷款). Another benefit of going to school online is the freedom it provides. You can study wherever you want － in your house, at a café or even in a park. Some people who want to study further, now no longer have to ‎ take a break in their jobs, thanks to online schools.‎ However, those students who often need a push from their teachers to do well have a very high chance of not doing well at online schools. When studying in a class, different topics in a given subject are discussed and different students give their points of view. This is something that online schooling cannot provide.‎ Also, there are many employers(雇主) who prefer students with a regular and traditional degree to those who have an online degree. The employers feel that students who go to full-time colleges have more knowledge compared to those who have online degrees.‎ In general, it can be said online schools are good for some, while others should give them up! A person should see the situation he is in and then decide whether or not to choose an online school.‎ Are online schools a good idea?‎ The present situation Online schools are so popular at present that some regular students also 74________ them.‎ Main point Online schooling, like everything, has two sides as follows.‎ Good points of online schooling ‎•You spend 75________ money at an online school and you can work along with studying.‎ ‎•You are free at online schools because you can study anytime and anywhere you want.‎ ‎•If you want to accept further 76________, you needn’t give up your job thanks to online schools.‎ Bad points of online schooling ‎•Some students are likely to do badly at online schools for lack of a push from their teachers.‎ ‎•Students do not have the 77________ to discuss with their classmates.‎ ‎•After graduation, students with online degrees are not 78_______ by many employers.‎ Conclusion Whether online schools are good for you is decided by your situation.‎ 八、完成句子 按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子，并将答案与在答题卡对 ‎ 应题号的横线上。（本大题共6小题，每小题1.5分，共9分）‎ ‎79. 印度人口位居世界第二。‎ India‎ ________________________________________________ in the world .‎ ‎80. 他相信那个时刻很值得等待。‎ He believed that the moment _______________________________________ .‎ ‎81. 明天我将动身去美国度过七天的假期。‎ Tomorrow I ________________________________________________holiday.‎ ‎82. 庆幸的是，我们已经将产量增加了30%。‎ Luckily, we ____________________________ _____________________30%. ‎ 83. ‎2015年诺贝尔奖获得者屠呦呦毕生致力于医学研究。‎ ‎ To Youyou who received the Nobel Prize in 2015_________________________.‎ 84. 尽管你比同班同学在英语上有优势，你也不能掉以轻心。‎ ‎ ______________________________ in English, but you can’t treat it lightly.‎ 九、书面表达（本大题共10分）‎ 假设你的美国朋友Bruce这个暑假打算去云南昆明旅游，请你写一封90个词左右的信，介绍一下这个城市，并给出自己的旅游建议，内容要点包括：‎ 1. 昆明是云南省的省会，位于中国西南部，历史悠久。‎ 2. 常年温暖，被成为“春城”。‎ 3. 三面环山，有很多著名景点。‎ 4. 当地歌舞很特别，手工艺品(handicrafts)也吸引成千上万的游客，传统小吃“过桥米线”(cross-bridge rice noodles)美味可口。‎ 5. 用2至3句话给一些你的旅游建议。‎ 注意：短文必须包括所给要点，要求语句通顺，意思连贯；词数90个左右。‎ Dear Bruce,‎ ‎ You said you want to travel to Kunming this summer vacation.
