Happiness and romance are in the air. Both at home and abroad various celebrations are held for the two western and Chinese festivals. Here are some activities recommended to you, which few people will miss the chance to participate in them.‎ Dog themed exhibition held in Beijing to greet the Spring Festival The Chinese Lunar New Year will start on Feb 16, making start of the Year of the Dog. To celebrate it, an exhibition entitled “Best Wishes from the Auspicious Dog” will be opened.‎ The place: At the Capital Museum in Beijing.‎ The exhibition time: From Feb.14, 2018 till March 18, 9:00 am — 6:00 pm per day.‎ The main theme: The relationship between dogs and humans, the exhibition has collected cultural relics, pictures, historical facts to show that dogs have accompanied us throughout history.‎ A large celebration held by Boston Chinese community to celebrate the Year of the Dog Date: From February 14 to February 16, 2018. 9:30 — 5pm.‎ Place: In Copley Square Hotel, Boston.‎ Programs: Dragon dance, lion dance, magic show, Beijing opera and ballet.‎ Food: Many traditional Chinese foods such as hotpots, dumplings, rice cakes.‎ Fare: Sponsored by a large Chinese Cooperation, all the fees are free.‎ Highlights: Anyone whose birthday is in the Year of the dog will receive a mascot of the dog.‎ Attention: Participants need to register in advance by visiting the website http://www.chsb.com.‎ The 2018 Dingsheng Royal Lantern Fair to welcome the coming Chinese lunar new year.‎ With the theme of embracing the Year of the Dog, the 2018 Dingsheng Royal Lantern Fair kicks off in Chengde city, North China’s Hebei province. More than 50 groups of lanterns in various shapes and sizes are illuminated during the festival to promote the Chinese Spring Festival culture.

The large celebration in Boston.‎ C. Dingsheng Royal Lantern Fair in Chengde.‎ D. The celebration in Copley Square Hotel ‎ ‎22.

My target was to raise ￡2,000, a big challenge. But it was brilliant ‎ because collecting not only motivates you to train hard, but also means you’re not just running for yourself. You’re running for something much greater.‎ You’d be surprised at how many people donate money around the time of the marathon. People were so crazy that I hardly noticed how quickly things happened and how quickly the following months flew by. It was my first marathon. I did my research, made a plan and put it up on my wall and crossed an item off every time I went for a run. That’s the key. The training plan lasted 16 weeks. I started with five-mile runs and got myself up to 8-10 miles.‎ Your training pays off on the day of the event. Go over Tower Bridge with thousands of people cheering you on, and run down roads that you never get the opportunity to go to – it’s amazing. It’s like a leap of faith. The truth is that if you never take the risk, you’ll never know how much you’ll push yourself and what you can achieve.‎ I haven’t made a decision whether to take part in next year’s London Marathon. But that’s fine. I know I’ve already achieved something rather special that I can’t stop talking about.‎ ‎24. What is the author’s purpose in joining in the marathon?‎ A. To earn a reputation. B. To challenge a 40 km run.‎ C. To raise awareness of physical exercise. D. To collect money for charity. ‎ ‎25. What is the most important in the preparation according to the author?‎ A. The proper training plan.‎ B. The craziness about the marathon.‎ C. The donation around the marathon.‎ D. The gradual change in the running distance. ‎ ‎26. What did the author think of the marathon?‎ A. It’s troublesome. B. It’s disordered.‎ C. It’s exhausting. D. It’s inspiring. ‎ ‎27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. The author has decided to enter for the 2018 London Marathon.‎ B. The author will take part in other marathons all around the world.‎ C. The author regards the marathon experience as one of his proudest.‎ D. The author thinks one marathon is enough for a person to take pride of. ‎ C Recycling programs usually give new life to materials like paper, metal, plastic and glass. But a program in the eastern America is recycling shellfish to help the Chesapeake Bay.‎ Oysters(牡蛎) is known to help clean the water. Besides, generation upon generation of oysters form reefs, which provide homes for fish and crabs.‎ Oysters are a tradition in the Chesapeake. They are good for the bay. But environmental damage and too much harvesting have cut the oyster population there.‎ An organization called the Oyster Recovery Partnership started the recycling program earlier this year. Baby oysters need to attach themselves to a shell or other hard surface as they grow. Scientists are using recycled shells as part of an oyster reproduction(繁殖) program. More than 15 restaurants, seafood dealers and other businesses have joined the Oyster Recovery Partnership. Maryland and Virginia are also taking part in the program.‎ One of the restaurants involved is in Washington. Oysters are a specialty at the Old Ebbitt Grill. Its manager Christian Guidi says they serve about 1,500 to 3,000 oysters a day and that obviously does create a lot of shells.‎ But the restaurant no longer throws away all those shells. The Oyster Recovery Partnership takes them away for recycling.‎ First the shells get washed. Then they go to the Center for Environmental Science at the University of Maryland for further processing.‎ The shells are placed in tanks with hundreds of millions of oyster lavae(幼体). In this way, the baby oysters can be raised until they have grown big enough to be moved to the Chesapeake.‎ This year, the Oyster Recovery Partnership helped produce and plant more than 450 million baby oysters in the bay.‎ Don Meritt heads the oyster recovery program at the University of Maryland. He says the goal is not just to increase the oyster population. Their real goal is to try to restore healthy oysters to the Chesapeake Bay so that they can help restore a healthy Chesapeake Bay.‎ ‎28. What causes the number of oysters to drop in the Chesapeake Bay?‎ A. Too much rain. B. Water pollution.‎ B. Hot weather D. Overfishing.‎ ‎29. What did the Old Ebbitt Grill do with the shells in the past?‎ A. It collected all the shells. B. It threw the shells away.‎ C. It sold the shells as waste. D. It poured the shells into the sea.‎ ‎30. Why are shells placed in tanks with oyster larae?‎ A. To help them to grow. B. To provide more nutrition.‎ C. To make the tank like sea. D. To serve as homes for them.‎ ‎31. What can we learn from the text?‎ A. Recycled shells can improve the environment.‎ B. The number of oysters has increased in the bay.‎ C. The oysters are popular in cities like Washington.‎ D. The oyster recovery program needs more support.‎ D Human beings enjoyed a double treat in January with the appearance of two supermoons. The first one rose on the night of New Year’s Day. The second came on the last night of the month, topping off with a lunar eclipse(月食). That is the end of trilogy(三部曲) of big moon treats that began on Dec.3, 2017 with a full cold moon. The January.1 supermoon was the biggest of the year. The moon appeared to be oversized for a few nights after that, though it was no longer a full moon.‎ A supermoon is a full moon that appears at the perigee(近地点), the closest point in the moon’s orbit to the Earth, about 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than full moons that appear at the apogee, the farthest point in the orbit. Supermoons, hanging around all night, are easy to see and are not damaging the eyes, no matter how long you gaze at the moon.‎ For those still talking about a hangover on the night of Jan.1, an even more charming supermoon rose on the night of Jan. 31. That was the second full moon of the month, which is usually called a “blue moon” because a double full--moon month occurs essentially once in a supermoon — about every two and a half years. A blue moon is even rarer when it’s a supermoon. But that wasn’t the only rarity that night. The super blue moon also occurred during a total lunar eclipse. Because skies were clear, the total eclipse was visible from eastern Asia across the Pacific Ocean to western North America.‎ Lunar eclipses make moons appear blood red because of the way the blocked sunlight bends, when the Earth moves between the sun and the moon, blocking the sun’s light from reflecting the moon. So many people witnessed the super blood moon during the night of the lunar eclipse. To get the full effect of the lunar eclipse, watch at moonset.‎ ‎32. What can we learn about the Jan. 31 supermoon from the text?‎ A. It was a super blue moon.‎ B. It began with a lunar eclipse.‎ C. It was observed all over the world.‎ D. It was the biggest moon of the year. ‎ ‎33. What is the second paragraph mainly talking about?‎ A. The supermoon’s origin. B. The supermoon’s definition.‎ C. The supermoon’s function. D. The supermoon’s identity.‎ ‎34. Why does the moon look red during the lunar eclipse?‎ A. Because of the angle of the sunshine.‎ B. Because the sky is filled with dark clouds.‎ C. Because Pacific Ocean reflects the moonlight.‎ D. Because sunlight can’t reach the moon directly. ‎ ‎35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Double New Year Supermoons.‎ B. The definition of a Supermoon.‎ C. Supermoons with a Lunar Eclipse.‎ D. The Rarity of the Blue Supermoon.‎ 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。‎ Travel Can Enrich Your Life There’s nothing like the moment when your plane touches down in your destination. It’s the moment when reality hits you: You’re not at home anymore and adventures await you. 36 By the time I was 18, I had been around the world at least 10 times and visited more than 20 countries. Travel opened my eyes to new communities, cultures, and experiences that changed my life.‎ Exploring the world can expand your horizons and open the door to future opportunities. It’s appealing to view travel merely as an opportunity to party with friends or check tourist sights off on your bucket list. 37 ‎ Travel can help you mature. 38 I’ve witnessed friends take an extended break for trips around the world on a shoestring budget. They came back completely changed. Leaving the comforts of home to explore unknown areas teaches you independence.‎ ‎ 39 Before I visited Thailand, I pictured a third-world country that was dirty, disorganized and unsafe. I was completely wrong. Although parts of Thailand are still developing and missing many regulations we have, it is now a tourist attraction with beautiful sandy beaches, hundreds of tropical islands, nightlife, archaeological sites, museums, splendid palaces, Buddhist temples and several World Heritage sites.‎ ‎ 40 How often do you hear old people say they wish they’d seen more of the world before? Travelling gives you a sense of accomplishment, a good understanding of different cultures and appreciation of the comfort of home.‎ A. Travel can help you define your story.‎ B. Travel can help you remove regrets.‎ C. Travel can help you gain new opinions.‎ D. Meanwhile, you will experience the benefits travel can bring you.‎ E. Travel quickly transforms you into an adult.‎ F. The excitement and influence of travel go beyond the journey itself.‎ G. But comparing the experiences to these opportunities, you’ll appreciate the former more.‎ 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。‎ ‎ “Mum, can I invite my classmate Brett over to stay tomorrow night, please?

With a smile of 52 on his face he said, “There! How does that feel?” “Oh, James,” Mum said. “That’s much better!

Can you 55 him?” asked Mum.‎ ‎“I’ll try,” James replied. He 56 up Dad’s hair at the back of his neck and plugged the electric wire into Dad’s head. Then he turned the 57 on. Dad opened his eyes and 58 immediately. “He just let his 59 run too low, that’s all,” James said, “Shall I tell Brett to come over straight after school tomorrow?”‎ ‎“I guess so,” replied Mum. “Your friends will just have to 60 that we are a very unusual family.

Luckily, there are some great restaurants and cafes 20 miles away in Rosemount. ‎ M: Great! Are there any youth hotels around there?‎ W: Yes, there is one in Richmount. But what about sleeping in a tent? We haven’t done that for ages and we don’t have much money to stay in a hotel.‎ M: Very funny. That is a good idea. ‎ ‎9.‎ W: Hello. Are you the person to ask about joining a club?‎ M: Yes. I am. What would you like to know?‎ W: Well, I am interested in several things, but I’d like to know more about the different clubs and how much they cost. I’ m looking for a club that’s not too expensive or big. ‎ M：OK. Have a look at the table. You can see the name of the clubs, the costs and number of members. I’m afraid they are in any order. If you look at the top of the list, the first club is table tennis. ‎ W: Oh, right. It costs 30$. That’s quite expensive. ‎ M: Yes, it is a bit expensive. The cross-country cycling club is cheaper, though. Membership fees are only 15$, but on the other hand, it’s got 100 members. ‎ W: The film club costs a lot, doesn’t it?‎ M: Yes, 50$ is a lot. Is there any other club you think looks interesting? Look at the next one, street dance. It’s the cheapest. Only 5$.‎ W: That’s great. It is to my taste. ‎ ‎10.‎ Here are the instructions for next weekend’s camping trip in Scotland. There are 17 people going on this trip so it’s important that you arrive at the meeting point early enough for us to be able to leave at 8 a.m. There will be two buses and please make sure you are on the right one. Last week’s email gave all the information. ‎ We should arrive at the camping area at about 2 p.m. which will give us enough time to buy the food we need in the local supermarket and then go to the area where we will set up the tents, which is a long way from town. ‎ We are not expecting there to be very bad weather this weekend in Scotland, but the weather situation in the Scottish hills is always very unpredictable and for this season, we have advised everyone to take a coat that can protect yourself from rain. If windy, stormy weather arrives at the camping area, it may also be necessary to leave the hills and go down into the town. ‎ It’s very likely that your phones will not work in the hills, so you must warn your parents of this You will be able to use your phones when we are in the town, but no when we are camping. If you have any other questions about the trip, come either to me or Mrs. Senderson. ‎
