One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but unaware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.‎ I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University—coincidentally, the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.‎ When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did I know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world.‎ In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone. ‎ That’s where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through. ‎ I’ m envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says—a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, I’m an English major, so...”‎ My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isn’t anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where I’m headed, but he is stuck with me. ‎ ‎21. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph4 mean?‎ A. My brother is the real baby in the family.‎ ‎ B. I am growing more slowly than my brother.‎ C. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.‎ D. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.‎ ‎22. What does the brother often help the author do?‎ A. Help him with his studies.‎ B. Help him deal with many daily tasks.‎ C. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.‎ D. Give him advice on how to choose a major. ‎ ‎23. What is the best title for this text?‎ A. The Real Baby in the Family B. My Strange Family Gatherings ‎ C. The Feeling of Having a Brother D. Stuck with Me—My Not-So-Little Brother ‎ B On a Friday night in May 2015, Oliver and Lone Kleven heard angry shouts coming from their front lawn. Lone, 68, stepped onto the porch and saw two men in dark clothes struggling with something on the ground—right where she and her grandson had planted a flower bed the weekend before.‎ ‎  “Go fight somewhere else!” she shouted, worried her plants would get damaged. At the sound of her voice, the face of a boy appeared from beneath the two men. He looked 13 or 14 or so. “They’re trying to kill me!” the boy screamed. Lone ran toward them and, without hesitation, caught the boy’s arm, pulling him out.‎ ‎ “Leave him alone!” she shouted. When the men stood up, Lone saw what looked like a sharp object in one man’s hand. When she turned back toward the boy, he was moaning in pain ‎ and holding his stomach. The attackers began to move in on the boy again when Lone’s husband shouted: “Get lost!” The two men walked quickly and quietly across the street and drove off in a dark car.‎ ‎ “I have to get to the hospital!” the boy cried. He lifted his shirt, and Lone could see a bloody wound on his stomach. Oliver hugged the trembling boy while Lone caught her cell phone and car keys inside the house. She handed the phone to Oliver. “Call 911,” she told him. “I’m going after them.” Lone took off but was unable to find the car.‎ The Klevens then learned what had happened. Earlier that night, as the boy waited for his parents to pick him up from the high school across the street from the Klevens’ house, two men approached and demanded his wallet. When he refused, one of the men hit him in the face. The boy ran across the street. The men caught up with him, and one hurt him in the back and stomach with a sharp knife. That’s when Lone stepped in.‎ ‎ The boy’s wounds required operations, but he has fully recovered.‎ ‎ “He was alone and outnumbered,” says Lone. “There was no time to do anything except what I did.”‎ ‎24.  Why did Lone shout at the man at the beginning of the story?‎ ‎ A. To stop them fighting with each other. B. To prevent her flowers being ruined.‎ ‎ C. To stop them stealing in the flower bed. D. To keep the boy from being wounded.‎ ‎25.  What’s Lone’s first reaction when she got close to the men?‎ ‎ A. She kept them separate. B. She was shocked at the boy’s wounds.‎ ‎ C. She pulled the boy out. D. She called her husband for help.‎ ‎26. What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. An old couple rescued a boy by fighting against two robbers. ‎ B. A boy was saved.‎ C. Two robbers were driven away. ‎ D. An old lady didn’t track the two robbers.‎ ‎27.  What’s the correct order of the following events?‎ ‎ a. Lone stepped in the fight.‎ ‎ b. The two men drove off in a dark car.‎ ‎ c. The boy waited for his parents to pick him up.‎ ‎ d. Lone’s husband boomed from the porch.‎ ‎ e. Two men approached and demanded the boy’s wallet.‎ ‎ f. The boy ran across the street to a flower bed.‎ ‎ A.  cfeadb      B.  cefadb       C.  fecabd       D.  eafcbd C If you experience great stress in your life on a frequent basis, you’re not alone. Nowadays, stress is almost a given fact of life. Actually, a certain degree of stress can have positive effects on us. But if stress continues over a long period of time, the effects on the body can be harmful, resulting in health problems and stress-related illness, including heart attack and stroke.‎ Stress is a normal reaction by the body to what it perceives (认为)as a threatening situation or environment. Short-term reactions may include an increase in heart rate as well as a rise in blood pressure. A person under short-term stress may feel nervous, anxious and even experience shortness of breath. Other reactions can include a dry mouth, quick heartbeat, sweating, stomach upset and diarrhea.‎ When stress is long-term and becomes more chronic (长期的) in nature, it can cause more ‎ serious health-related problems, including regular headaches, back pain, weight changes, sleep difficulties, changes in mood and so on. Chronic stress can also result in memory problems, including difficulty remembering new information and the inability to quickly deal with old information.‎ No matter how your body reacts to stress, ignoring the problem can have serious health results. Not surprisingly, more women than men openly seek the help of their family doctors or other health care experts when they are experiencing stress or stress-related illness. Men are more likely to refuse to admit the problem or attempt to self-treat it, which may contribute to higher rate of drug and alcohol addiction seen in men exposed to chronic stress.‎ There’s no doubt that stress is a fact of life and is likely to remain a part of our fast-paced society. Although stress can’t be completely eliminated, methods of dealing with stress-related issues, in my view, can be developed so that the effects of stress on the body are avoided, so people won’t be so easy to suffer stress-related illness.‎ ‎28. Which of the following is not the reaction of short-term stress?‎ A. A dry mouth. B. Stomach upset.‎ C. Weight changes. D. A rise in blood pressure.‎ ‎29. What does the author advise people to do when stress hits them?‎ A. They should ignore it.‎ B. They should learn to deal with it on their own.‎ C. They should turn to drugs and alcohol for relief.‎ D. They should seek more methods of dealing with it.‎ ‎30. What does the word “eliminated” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. reduced. B. removed. C. appreciated. D. destroyed.‎ ‎31. What is the purpose of this passage?‎ A. To tell us how to solve the serious problems caused by stress.‎ B. To tell us how to behave well when we are faced with stress.‎ C. To tell us how to protect ourselves from the effects of stress.‎ D. To tell us how to tell short-term stress from long-term stress.‎ D If asked if space exploration should continue, most Americans would give an immediate response either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space exploration. A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no value. Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?‎ One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASN) missions, and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company ‎ that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.‎ Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many technologies it provides. The artificial heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents resulted from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation (隔热板) in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.‎ There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as those technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.‎ ‎32. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?‎ A. By offering analyses. B. By making comparisons.‎ C. By giving some examples. D. By presenting research findings.‎ ‎33. The function of Jaws of Life is to_____.‎ A. save people from traffic accidents.‎ B. do experiments on the space shuttle C. keep houses warm and energy efficient D. separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets.‎ ‎34. In the author’s opinion, space exploration______.‎ A. has changed our life completely B. costs too much of our time C. benefits us in many ways D. has nothing to do with us ‎35. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Benefits of space exploration ‎ B. Is space exploration worth the cost?‎ C. How to make space exploration affordable D. Missions of the NASA space shuttle program ‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Alone But Not Lonely In today's fast-paced society, we've become uncomfortable with silence. We try to find different types of activities that can help us escape feelings of laziness or boredom. 36 Solitude（独处）does not have to be uncomfortable or lonely. In fact, solitude and loneliness are very different things.‎ The death of a loved one or the inability to find people who understand you can leave you feeling lonely. Even if you are surrounded by other people, it's natural to experience an emptiness while longing for love or acceptance. 37 ‎ Geoffrey F. Fisher once said, “In cities, no one is quiet but many are lonely. 38 ”‎ We often fill loneliness with all types of unsatisfying activities. Young people would rather spend a Friday night out with strangers, than spend the night alone. They're looking for a way to kill time while they await true friendship. Then there are young adults in gangs where they don't ‎ really like their companions. 39 Why does being alone scare us?‎ ‎ Do not be afraid of silence. 40 It teaches you how to truly listen. It teaches you to pay attention to what's going on inside you. Only when we are alone can we have the space and peace we need to think without being outwardly influenced. It therefore becomes easier to make important decisions as well as to reflect on how we are feeling.‎ A. Loneliness is therefore a feeling that can be experienced whether or not one is physically alone.‎ B. They would rather feel accepted on a shallow level than risk feeling alone.‎ C. The problem of loneliness can be easily solved in a modern world.‎ D. But, when doing so, the main thing we are trying to avoid is loneliness.‎ E. In the country, people are quiet but few are lonely.‎ F. It can provide you with amazing benefits.‎ G. It guides you through hardships.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给出的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I stopped at a grocery store the other day because I was about to go on a long drive and I wanted to buy my favorite drink for the trip.‎ As I walked up to the 41 I noticed a man and a boy who was about 10 or 12 years old standing at the front of the store.
