I realized something this morning. I have been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old. As a boy I had read literally hundreds of books. I had a thirst for knowledge that seemingly could never fade. Then suddenly I found I had something I wanted to share. I tried to ignore it, but as any writer tells you once the ideas awaken inside of you they won’t leave you alone until you write them down. I didn’t have a computer, word processor, or even a typewriter. Still, I grabbed a pen and lined notebook paper and wrote everything that was burning inside of me.
When I was done I didn’t know how to share it. There was no internet back then, no smart phones, and no social media. I sought out the editor of my local county newspaper and asked him to print what I had written. He was a good man full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write. I continued to write new articles each week and shared them first with other local papers and later online as well.
Years later at the urging of my readers I even selfpublished two collections of my stories in book form.
Through my writing I slowly became more than I was. In my writings I encountered my highest self. In my writings I discovered the goodness and light that lie in us all. In my writings I found great love and joy and encouraged others to choose love and joy as well. I also found that we all are writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we hold, and with everything we do, we are writing our own life story.
Lance Wubbels once wrote:“I hope you realize your life is truly your life. It belongs to you. It is your story to write with love. Day by day, line by line, write it well.”
4.As a boy, when the author found he had something to share, ________.

B.He put his stories online by himself.
C.He selfpublished two books.

B.Writing can benefit oneself and others.
C.Writing helps people tell right from wrong.
D.Only with a pen can one write his life story.
7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

Air pollution shortens human lives by more than a year, according to a new study from a team of leading environmental engineers and public health researchers. Better air quality could lead to a significant extension of lifespan(寿命) around the world.
It is the first time that data on air pollution and the lifespan has been studied together in order to check how air pollution affects overall life expectancy.
The researchers looked at outdoor air pollution from particulate matter (PM)(颗粒物) smaller than 2.5 microns. These particulates can enter deep into the lungs, and breathing PM 2.5 is associated with the increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and cancers. PM 2.5 pollution comes from power plants, cars and trucks, fires, agriculture and industrial emissions(排放物).
Led by Joshua Apte, the team used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study to measure PM 2.5 air pollution exposure and its consequences in 185 countries. They then quantified the national impact on life expectancy for each individual country as well as on a global scale.
“The fact that air pollution is a major global killer is already wellknown,” said Apte. “And we all care about how long we can live. Here, we were able to systematically identify how air pollution shortens lives around the world. What we found is that air pollution has a very large effect on survival — on average about a year globally.”
In the context of other significant phenomena negatively affecting human survival rates, Apte said this is a big number. “For example, it’s considerably larger than the benefit in survival we might see if we found cures for both lung and breast cancer combined,” he said. “In countries like India and China, the benefit for elderly people of improving air quality would be especially large. For much of Asia, if air pollution were removed as a risk for death, 60yearolds would have a 15 percent to 20 percent higher chance of living to age 85 or older.”
8.What do we know about PM 2.5?
A.It has a bad effect on human health.
B.It will be controlled in the future.
C.It only comes from industrial emissions.
D.It spreads to the world from Asian countries.
9.What did the researchers do to study how air pollution affects the lifespan?
A.They collected accurate information from all the Asian countries.
B.They employed the research data to calculate the effect.
C.They studied the disease and lifespan together time and time again.
D.They measured particulate matter much more carefully than before.
10.What can be inferred from the text?
A.The key to people living longer is good air quality.
B.People think air pollution is the most dangerous killer to them.
C.Apte will agree that people should take action to deal with air pollution.
D.Factories should decrease the production of cars to stop air pollution.
11.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Way Human Beings Enjoy a Longer Lifespan
B.The Importance of Getting Rid of Air Pollution
C.Asian People Are Suffering from Serious Air Pollution
D.Air Pollution Reduces the Lifespan by More than One Year
D
A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to “read” human personalities.
The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, computers and robots powered by sophisticated(复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms(演算法) may soon have the ability to peer_into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.
“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality,” wrote the researchers, led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements, then determined their personality traits with “wellestablished questionnaires” for determining the personality type, according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.
The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person’s major personality traits, such as “neuroticism, extraversion(外向), agreeableness, conscientiousness, as well as curiosity”, the scientists wrote.
“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and
other hightech devices, even robots, allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines,” Loetscher said.
“People are always looking for improved, personalized services. Today’s robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to nonverbal information,” Loetscher said in a statement quoted by The Indian Express. This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals.
The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies, according to a summary in Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper.
12.What do the underlined words “peer into” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Understand.
B.Stare at.
C.Search for.
D.Concern about.
13.How did the researchers conduct the research?
A.It was carried out in a lab.
B.42 subjects’ eye movements were recorded.
C.The students’ daily movements were tracked.
D.Its subjects’ personalities were determined by computer.
14.What can we know according to Tobias Loetscher?
A.Robots and computers are socially conscious.
B.People care less about improved, personalized services.
C.Today’s robots and computers can accustom to nonverbal information.
D.The discovery will improve the interaction between human beings and machines.
15.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Human Personality Traits
B.What Human Eye Movements Are
C.Tell Personalities by Eye Movements
D.How Humans and Machines Interact

47.what 解析:考查连接词。分析句子结构可知,空处引导宾语从句,作动词learn的宾语,指物,因此填what。
48.is considered 解析:考查时态和语态。根据语境可知,文章叙述的是一般情况,应用一般现在时,此处表示“这被认为是一个明智的选择”,应用被动语态,故用一般现在时的被动语态。
49.a 解析:考查冠词。根据空前的“is”和空后的“human activity”可知,此处表示泛指“一项人类活动”,且human的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。
50.practical 解析:考查形容词。修饰名词应用形容词,故用practical“实用的”。
第三部分 写作
第一节 短文改错
The other day, we moved to the new school yard, lies in the far north of the city. We were all high spirits. It is much than the old one. The classrooms are bright and clean. We have a lot of modern equipment, making convenient for students to learn every subject. Now we can have a lot of afterschool on the new playground. Our teachers often play basketball and soccer together with us. As spring , the flowers newly in the yard have just come out. With many green trees and fragrant flowers around, we feel it less to study and our school life more enjoyable.
第二节 书面表达
One possible version:
Dear_Tony,
I’m_glad_to_learn_you’re_coming_to_my_school next week as an international exchange student. You are interested in how we typically show respect for our teachers and here is something detailed.
Firstly, it is on September 10th every year that all teachers and students gather in the school hall to celebrate Teachers’ Day, where by tradition Top Ten Teachers of the Year are selected to receive meaningful awards. Student representatives send gifts such as bunches of flowers, postcards to show our sincere gratitude and best wishes to our teachers. What’s more, we greet our teachers respectfully wherever and whenever we meet them. Besides, we often take turns to help clean and tidy the teachers’ offices voluntarily.
I hope you’ll have a wonderful experience in our school.
Yours,
Li_Hua
