One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground. As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden. I remember Dad pushing the tiller(耕作机) ahead in perfectly straight lines. Dad loved growing all sorts of things: yellow and green onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow corn, and our favorite —red tomatoes. As I grew into a teenager, I didn’t get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. As Dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he was diagnosed with cancer, he still took care of his garden. But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded his body. I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed them, he simply let t hem be. He only planted tomatoes. For the first few years after he died, I couldn’t even bear to look at anyone’s garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket. Three years ago, I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes. That morning, after breaking up a fair amount of soil, something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil. 4. Why did the author like the garden when he was a child? A. He enjoyed being in the garden with his father. B. The garden was just freshly tilled by his father. C. He loved what his father grew in the garden. D. The garden was planted with colorful flowers. 5. When all the kids started their own families, the author’s father _____. A. stopped his gardening. B. turned to other hobbies. C. devoted more to gardening. D. focused on planting tomatoes. 6. What happened to the garden when the author’s father was seriously ill? A. The author’s son took charge of the garden. B. No plant grew in the garden at all. C. The garden was almost deserted. D. It brought the author a great harvest. 7. We can infer from the last paragraph that _______. A. the author’s son played happily in the garden B. the author’s son reminded him of his own childhood C. the author’s son was very glad to help the author D. the author’s son will continue gardening as well C This year, Facebook, the social media website, announced that it would cooperate with several news organizations —including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC —to place news stories directly into users’ personal Facebook webpage. Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn —at least for now. The deal shows how important social media has become to news organizations, and it is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing —and has been for a while. Many thought of it as the death of the newspaper, when Google News began in 2002. It had no human editor. Instead, Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo have been punishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports —areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of se condary importance to the accuracy of the data. I think we should be concerned about such developments. One concern is that Facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline(副 业), a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn’t their primary function —so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it. There’s another concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge. Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article —at least for daily news —I don’t think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet. 8. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook. B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news. C. To express concern about recent trends in online news. D. To describe the process of online news reporting. 9. Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________. A. these are the most popular topics for online readers B. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas C. information on these topics is more easily available D. there are fewer journalists specializing in these areas 10. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Journalism. B. Advertising. C. Facebook. D. Business. 11. In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article? A. The information presented is up-to-date. B. The author's opinion is clear C. The language used is vivid. D. Different views on the topic are presented. D Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name —phubbers(低头族). Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world. Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying, “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report. But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Beijing Evening News reported. It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight. 12. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2? A. To advertise the cartoon made by students. B. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing. C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers. D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients. 13. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have? A. His social skills could be affected. B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed. C. He might get separated from his friends and family. D. He will cause the destruction of the world. 14. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing? A. Supportive. B. Optimistic. C. Opposed. D. Objective. 15. What may the passage talk about next? A. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing. B. People addicted to phubbing. C. Definition of phubbing D. Consequences of phubbing. 第二节（共 5 小题 ；每小题 2 分,共 10 分） 根据短文内容,从短文后的七个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。 Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence. However, setting goals doesn’t come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals. Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life. 16 Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are. 17 Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks needs to improve. If he’s stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals. Help keep goals achievable. Don’t throw cold water on your child. 18 For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal. 19 Help your child write down his goals in an easy-to-follow form. Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is the key in keeping him motivated. A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (横 木). 20 A. Change goals every so often. B. Make a visual goal reminder. C. Don’t always tell him what you think. D. He’s climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal. E. You can take sports as example to help explain it to him. F. Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it. G. When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces. 第二部分：英语知识应用 （共两节,满分 45 分） 第一节：完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分,共 30 分） 阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答 题纸上将该项涂黑。 If life were a book and you were the author, how would you like the story to go?

I see individuals getting 42 (frustrate) as they struggle hard for success. The main reason is that people allow their definition of success to be determined by someone or something else. We should look at 43 own skills to determine what is successful to us. We should look inwards to determine 44 it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind. Evaluating a successful person needs 45 (look) at his pathway to success, his action and his 46 (determine). You must set your own course of action, 47 stay on your course. You alone must determine what success means to you. Do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will take care of itself. Here is the 48 (true). Being a success is doing your best, not being the best. Success is not something you become, but it is something you continue being. When we get to that point, we will experience a lot more joy and a lot less depression. And that 49 (sound) good to us! Remember the great quote from Napoleon Hill, “If you cannot do great things, do small things in 50 great way.” 第 II 卷 第三部分 单词拼写(共 15 小题；每小题 2 分,共 30 分) 请根据首字母和汉语,在空白处填入适当的单词或单词的正确形式。每空一词。 1.

Thank you for considering my application. Yours, Li Hua
