That year I was faced with a challenge because of my best friend, Pam. ‎ A new family recently had moved into our small town, and Pam was spending more and more time at their house. I felt   13   and left out. When my mother asked me whether I would take a May Day basket to Pam’s house, I answered angrily, “Of course not!” My mother stopped what she was doing and   14   me in her arms. She told me that I would have many other friends in my lifetime. “But Pam was my best friend ever,” I cried. Mum told me that circumstances (环境) change and people change. She   15   that one of the great things friends can do is to give each other a chance to grow, to change and to develop into what they want to be. And sometimes, she said, that friends would   16   other people to spend time with. It’s nothing wrong with that. She went on to say that I needed to forgive Pam for hurting me and that I could express that forgiveness (宽恕) by giving her a May Day basket. It was a   17   decision, but I decided to give Pam a basket. I made an extra special basket of flowers with lots of yellow because that was Pam’s favorite   18  . I asked my two sisters to help me deliver my basket of forgiveness. As ‎ we   19   from our hiding place, Pam picked up the flowers, pressed her face into them and said   20   enough for us to hear, “Thank you, Susie, I hoped you wouldn’t forget me!” That day, I made a decision that changed my life: I decided to hold my friends in my heart, but not in my expectation of them, allowing them space to grow and to change – with or without me. 13.

Most people try to remove snow. But in February, in Sapporo, Japan, trucks actually bring snow into the city! People shovel the snow into large piles, and these piles of snow become outdoor cafes,‎ ‎ concert stages, and beautiful sculptures (雕像). Artists from all over the world come to Sapporo’s Snow Festival every year to enter the sculpture competition. But the sculptures aren’t made of stone, metal or wood – they are made of snow and ice! Artists sometimes work 11 to 12 hours a day to make amazing sculptures. Many of the sculptures are huge and very detailed. During the day, the sculptures shine in the winter sun. At night, colorful lights shine on them. Millions of people go to see them every year.  The Snow Festival had not always been so popular. It started in 1950 as something very small. People in Sapporo wanted to go outside and have fun during the long, boring winter, so the city held a one-day fair in a park. People listened to music and danced. They watched movies and dog races. But some high school students had a great idea and built six large interesting snow sculptures. People really liked the sculptures, and the Snow Festival was born. Five years later, soldiers nearby brought tons of snow into the city. They made the snow into large blocks and used ladders to build huge sculptures. These sculptures were amazing, and the small festival turned into an international event. More than 60 years have passed. Today, the festival is seven ‎ days long. Every year, millions of people wear their warmest coats and go outside to celebrate the snow! 24. Artists go to Sapporo every winter mainly to ______.

Text Neck is an e-mailing problem.”   Fishman made up the term “Text Neck” in 2008 while examining ‎ a 17-year-old patient. The teen came in complaining of neck pain. Fishman noticed that the teen was sitting in a chair, bending (弯曲) over her smartphone, texting away. “I knew I had something,” Fishman said. A recent study published in Surgical Technology International’s 25th edition says texting may be hurting your back. The study found that bending your head to look at your mobile phone held in your hands can put up to 60 pounds of pressure (压力) on your neck. The average human head weighs 10 pounds in a right position – when your ears are over your shoulders. For every inch you bend your head forward, the pressure on your back doubles.  Staying in the “forward head posture” can lead to many problems. Over time, it can even change the natural curve (曲线) of your neck.    Dr. Michelle Collie, director of Performance Physical Therapy in Rhode Island, recently says Text Neck has increased very quickly, especially among her younger patients. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 8- to 18-year-olds spend almost seven and a half hours using mobile device or desktop computer for fun every day. ‎ So what’s a smartphone-texting, laptop-loving guy to do? First, Collie said, is to pay attention to your body. Keep your feet flat on the floor, roll your shoulders back and keep your ears directly over them so your head isn’t bent forward. And use something to support the weight of a mobile device.  Fishman’s Text Neck Institute created a mobile app to help you remember to avoid forward head posture. When your phone is held at a safe point, a green light shines. When you’re at risk for Text Neck, a red light appears.  Most important is taking breaks from time to time while using any mobile device or desktop computer. About every 20 minutes, stand up, roll your shoulders and neck or go for a short walk to have a break.  27. What might Fishman mean by saying “I knew I had something”? A. He had the same smartphone as the patient. B. He got a new name for the patient’s pain. C. He wanted to play a joke on the patient. D. He had the same idea with the patient. 28. According to the passage, your head is in the right position when ______. A. you bend over your neck often ‎ B. your ears are over your shoulders C. you turn your neck to the other side  D. you put up more pressure on your neck 29. The last three paragraphs are mainly talking about ______. A. how to make Text Neck apps B. what causes Text Neck C. how to avoid Text Neck D. the results of Text Neck   D Language in crisis Today, almost 80% of the people in the world speak only 1% of its languages. Every 14 days a language dies. By 2100, half of the more than 7,000 languages spoken on Earth today may disappear. Why do languages die? Throughout history, the languages of dominant (统治的) groups have spread while the languages of native cultures have become extinct. This happens because of government language policies, or because the dominant language becomes more useful in everyday life. Why is language important? ‎ Studying different languages increases our understanding of how humans communicate. Language is also an important part of culture. Words that describe a particular cultural practice might not have meaning in another language.  Native groups often have a deep understanding of local plants and animals because they have lived close to nature for thousands of years. We could discover important things, such as treatments for illness, by studying these languages. Many endangered (濒临灭绝的) languages aren’t written down. When the last speakers of a language die and their language becomes extinct, their stories, songs, and other important information are lost, too. Which languages are disappearing? Central South America has some of the world’s most endangered languages. The Kallawaya people speak a secret language that has details of thousands of medicinal plants. Today, fewer than 100 people speak it.  In Central and Eastern Siberia, almost all of the native languages are endangered. Many Siberian languages now have only a few elderly speakers. Oklahoma has the highest number of native languages in the United States. One of these, Yuchi, may be unrelated to any ‎ other language in the world. However, during the early 20th century, government schools punished students who were heard speaking it. In 2010, only five elderly members of the Yuchi tribe could speak their native language. How are languages being saved? Native cultures around the world are using modern technology to help keep their endangered languages and cultures alive. Communities are creating dictionaries and libraries by using pictures, video, and audio to record the traditions of the last speakers of their language. If the younger generations don’t speak and understand the words and stories of their ancestors (祖先), the language will die. And when the language dies, part of the culture dies, too.   30. The underlined word “extinct” probably means ______. A. selling out      B. dying out     C. speaking out    D. putting out  31. How are the native languages in Central Siberia and Oklahoma similar? A. Both of them are secret languages. B. Fewer people can speak them today. C. They are both unrelated to other languages. ‎ D. They are both spoken mainly by young people. 32. To save a language, it is most important for______ to learn it. A. young people     B. parents      C. scientists      D. dominant groups 33. What does the writer want to tell us in the passage? A. It’s necessary to study more languages. B. It’s good for people to speak the same language.  C. Preventing the loss of the world’s languages is important. D. Protecting languages is more important than protecting culture. 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分） Football Ancient Chinese, Roman and Egyptian writings help you know about games played by kicking a ball. We also know that in the twelfth century, in some English towns, on certain days of the year, hundreds of young men would kick a ball around the streets. Unluckily, fight often resulted. People were hurt and even killed. In 1314, such games were not allowed because they were too dangerous. The game we now know as football developed in England in the early nineteenth century. Football was played in many ‎ schools and clubs as early as 1823. These schools and clubs often had different rules, but in 1863, the Football Association or FA was created, and standard rules were agreed for everyone to follow. These are the rules that many parts of the world use for football today. In 1871, a cup was given for the best English club, called the FA Cup. Football soon spread across the world.     In the United States and Canada, however, a different type of football game developed, where the football players could pick the ball up and carry it. The ball is also in a different shape. In American football there is also more violent contact (激烈交锋) between players, who have to wear special clothing to protect themselves. Football is now certainly the most popular game on earth. Why is that? One reason may be that it’s a simple game. All we need is a ball, and a few things to mark the goals. It’s a more relaxed game which can be enjoyed by just a few people of any age, on any piece of ground or even in the street. Another reason may be that it allows people to show their special skills. Some footballers become very rich and famous, like David Beckham.‎ ‎ For this reason, many young people dream of becoming football stars and getting very rich. Television too has made football more popular. Millions of people can watch international matches such as the World Cup, which is held every four years.   34. What helps you know about games played by kicking a ball? 35. Where did the football game develop in the early 19th century? 36. When were the football standard rules made for everyone to follow?  37. Why do American football players have to wear special clothing?  38. Why is football now the most popular game on earth?   书面表达（共10分） 五、文段表达（10分） 39. 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 题目①  ‎ 假如你是李华，即将结束在美国的交换学习，回国前你想给住家妈妈Sarah写封感谢信，告诉她你什么时候回国，为什么感谢她，以及你的感受。 提示词语： help, care, communicate, drive to hospital, own family 提示要点： ● When are you going to leave? ● Why do you want to say ‘thank you’ to her? ● How do you feel?     Dear Sarah, I’m writing to deliver my thanks to you.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Thanks again for taking care of me so well.
