When it comes, people from around the world, including 5,000 in the small town today, watch this tongue-twisting(发音饶舌的) small town for a sign from one groundhog that supposedly predicts when that years' spring will arrive.  If it's a cloudy day outside when the groundhog pops from its cave, then spring will arrive early that year. However, if it is sunny outside, the groundhog will supposedly be scared by its own shadow,‎ ‎ hiding underground for six more weeks of cold weather. Of course, Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is no more able to guarantee the extended forecast than your local weatherman. ABC News reports that an analysis by the National Climate Data Center found that Phil's predictions are more often wrong than right.     　　Philis is also found to have made some unpleasant predictions. Ever since 1887, he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs .Nine of the years' predictions were unavailable, according to ABC. The holiday began as a German tradition in 18th century and became even more of a cultural phenomenon after the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray.Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right.  Each year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local library with his “wife" Phyllis. Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murray’s character in the classic film, Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on one’s routines. ‎ ‎21. The underlined word “pops” means “ ________   ”. A. escapes    B. appears    C. increases   D. hides 22. The reason why Phil's predictions aren't pleasing is that_____________. A. some of the predictions were unavailable   B . Phil wants to do that for fun C. Phil likes to make unpleasant predictions   D. he has predicted more late springs 23.  How does Punxsutawney Phil become a celebration? A. By an accident.                            B. From people's life improving. C. By his own attractive force              D. From much money raised by the town. 24. Which does this passage mainly talk about? A. The National Climate Data Center     B. A German tradition C. A tongue-twisting small town            D. Groundhog Day weather forecasting B Mosquitoes have an extraordinary ability to target humans far away and fly straight to their unprotected skin.‎ ‎ Regrettably，mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy(发痒的）wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases，including Dengue，yellow fever and  malaria. Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New research now   shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite. Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas，which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby. But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects，with even smaller brains，use three senses to find a blood meal. Michael Dickinson’s team used plumes—a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume. Then，the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter  colored floor and walls of the  tunnel. Mr. Dickinson said，at first，the mosquitoes showed no interest in ‎ the objects at all.    “What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2，they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点）.” This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human  or animal，they also follow  visual signals. 25.What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets? A．Sense of smell. B．Sense of touch. C．Sense of sight. D．Smart brains. 26.The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is     . A．to fly to the dark ones     B．to catch and stick to them C．to take no notice of them   D．to attach themselves to them 27.How can we avoid being attacked by mosquitoes according to the text ? ‎ A．Don’t let them see us.   B．Use dark objects to stop them. C．Make them fly back and forth for hours. D．Attract them to objects full of carbon dioxide gas. 28.What can be the best title for the text? A．How Do Mosquitoes Survive?  B．Why Do Mosquitoes Need Blood? C．How Do Mosquitoes Choose to Bite You? D．Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being? C It may not be as easy as you think to build a foundation for your child of family values. Often we believe that our child will pick up on our values if they live in the same home. While they may pick up many of our values, parents need to remember they are not the only influence in their child’s life. These outside values often compete with family values for your child’s attention. If we do not make a conscious effort to instill our values into our children, they may not get instilled at all.    I wish I had learned that lesson a little earlier. I thought if I lived my values for my children they would pick them up and make their own. Sometimes this happened and sometimes it didn’t. I often see twenty-something “kids” who have no faith in many of the values of their family ‎ in favor of the values of their friends. Children will often pick up the negative you show quicker than the positive, so the positive things need extra focus to set them.  Some of the influences your children face every day include their church, their school, their friends, any clubs or sporting groups they are part of and more. Kids spend many hours a day at school and with their friends. Sometimes in the business of life, we suppose our children will obtain that foundation we want for them.  Instilling a foundation of family values to sustain(维持) your child requires more than living it in front of them. That is important, but building up your child with this important foundation must become intentional.  That means we plan times to gather as a family. We plan activities together that show the values we want to pass on. We talk about our values; we live our values; we discuss the values of others and how they differ from ours; we constantly look for opportunities and make our own opportunities to share these values in word or deed with our children. Family values give our children a foundation to build upon.‎ ‎ It helps them know they are loved and gives them a sense of belongings. Upon this sure foundation, they can spread their wings and grow to become parents who share these same values with their own children. 29. The underlined word “instill our values into” in the 1st paragraph probably means “______”. A. get our ideas out of                  B. impress our ideas on  C. collect our ideas for                 D. force our ideas upon 30. We can learn from the passage that children ______. A. sustain their family values easily       B. will hold their family values with age  C. often discuss family values of others    D. accept negative values more quickly  31. Family values can be passed on if ______. A. we live with our children             B. parents show positive things C. parents foster them intentionally       D. we plan times to gather with other families  32. The passage mainly tells us about ______. A. the importance and the way to pick up family values ‎ B. a lesson the writer learned in educating his(her) kids C. the influences the children face while growing up D. some negative and positive family values D There’s a “culture of walking and texting” on the Utah Valley University campus, according to conversations with students, but that’s not the main reason Matt Bambrough, the creative director at UVU, came up with an idea to paint a “texting lane” on a staircase leading up to the Wellness Center. According to Bambrough, it’s first and foremost a design project—the texting lane was a tongue-in-cheek（戏谑）reference to the college-wide epidemic（流行）of kids walking around with their faces buried in their iPhones. “You have 18–24-year-olds walking down the hall with smart phones. You’re almost bound to run into someone somewhere; it’s something we’re dealing with in this day and age,” Bambrough said. “But preventing collisions isn’t the reason we did it—we did it to arouse the students’ attention. It’s meant to be there for people to look at and enjoy.” Still, when talking to Utah Valley students, it sounds like texting and walking can be quite the annoyance. Robbie Poffenberger, an assistant news editor at the UVU ‎ Review, said that most collisions he witnesses aren’t human-on-human; rather, it’s generally human-on-inanimate-object. “They walk into barriers—chairs on the side of the hallway, or railings,” Poffenberger said, “I’m sure they’re fairly embarrassed.” 33. What do we learn about the “texting lane” from the text? A. It is a special campus culture in Utah Valley University. B. It is used to encourage the campus culture. C. It is painted on a staircase leading to everywhere. D. It is popular with students in universities. 34. According to Bambrough, ______. A. the “texting lane” is to attract students’ attention B. we don’t have to face the problem in this age C. what they did is to prevent the collisions  D. students enjoy looking at each other 35. What would most students run into from what Robbie said? A. Students in the same direction.      B. Teachers opposite to them. C. Barriers on ‎ campus.                    D. Grass on campus. 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。 The rules about how to talk, eat and sit, which are highly limited, are observed in most Western restaurants and homes.     36      Many Westerners have no idea how to act at the Chinese dinner table. No forks or knives for them to use! The Chinese host makes great, sweeping arm movements that go over large sections of the table, passing over both food and friends alike.     37      However, it leaves many foreigners at a loss for what to do. In my childhood home, dinner was enjoyed with low voices, and the topics that we could discuss were very limited.     38      If I had to leave the table to use the toilet, I had to excuse myself without mentioning what it was that I was going to do. “May I be excused, please? I need to wash my hands.” I would say. My mother would say, “Sure.” My father would often play a joke on me by saying, “    39     ” ‎ As for eating, we did it quietly. No eating noises were allowed. Everything must be done as quietly as possible. If any sound was created by eating food or drinking, it would be considered as bad manners!　　     40      He is to sit up straight with the recessive hand (usually the left) in one’s lap holding a napkin while the dominant hand (usually the right) holds the fork or spoon. The only time one is allowed to have both hands on the table is when he is using a knife to cut something. A. How one sits at the table is also prescribed. B. We were not allowed to talk about anything that made listeners uncomfortable. C. Can't you think up a better excuse than that? D. They’re completely different from what we find here in China. E. Your hands don’t look dirty! F. The scene is fantastic. G. In general they were all strictly forbidden topics 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节：完形填空（共20小题：每小题1．5分，满分30分）    阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Many sports players have not only accomplished incredible ‎ acts of athleticism(运动能力), but also unbelievable acts of sportsmanship. There were some  41  examples in 2014, and I have  42  two that inspired me. One example of sportsmanship took place in the Sochi Olympics.

Canadian ski coach Justin Wadsworth was the only one who had an extra. Wadsworth didn’t want Gafarov to finish slowly, hobbling across the line. He wanted him to finish with  45. The Canadian skiers were already out of the race, giving Wadsworth two  46  : Leave Gafarov to hobble across the line on one ski, 47 give him the spare one. Wadsworth gave him the extra ski,  48  Gafarov to get second place in the quarter-finals.  49 , he came in sixth in the semi-finals. 50 was Wadsworth who helped Gafarov complete his Olympic dream. The other example took place in the 2014 World Cup quarter-final match between Brazil and Colombia. The game had just ended. Brazil had won, 2-1. Brazil was  51  on the sidelines, cheering and having a good time. Colombian ‎ midfielder James Rodriguez had just had his World Cup dream tore apart  52  scoring a record-breaking six goals in the competition. Brazil defender David Luiz walked over to him, pointed at him, and  53  the crowd to acknowledge him. He then declared his  54  for a game well played and  55  him for his wonderful World Cup performance. It made both the crowd and Rodriquez  56 . As an athlete, I know it’s easy to get caught up in the  57  of a game. But I also know that   58  is just as important as losing and winning. Always remember to  59  your opposing team. Play hard, but play fair. And always be nice. It’s the right thing to do and it always  60 . 41. A. amusing B. interesting   C. amazing D. embarrassing 42.

To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was   62   (happy) hammering dents(凹痕) into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp(果浆汁) as   63   (punish). When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.   Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to cut the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy   64   (wake) up from the operation and saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, “Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck,   65    when are my fingers going to grow back?” The father went home and committed suicide. Think about this story the next time someone steps on your   66   (foot) or you wish to take revenge. Think first   67   you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can be repaired, but   68  (break) bones ‎ and hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is   69  (great) than revenge. People make mistakes. We   70   (allow) to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will impress us forever. 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节　短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。 修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2．只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。 It has been a long time since I did anything good for the environment.
