Last weekend, my friends and I were very excited to visit your amusement park. However, when we got there, we saw a lot of things that disappointed us and shocked us . My fist complaint is about the rubbish all over the ground like Styrofoam cups, cigarette butts, used tissues and so on. I could never believe that you could have such a dirty amusement park. My next complaint is about your rides. How could you have opened your amusement park if you were going to open one or two rides? This is ridiculous. And also, the line for the rides was so long! It was too crowded and a lot of people were really tired waiting and it took us almost an hour just to get on the rides. Another complaint is about your food stall (摊位). The food was too expensive! How could we buy a set of meal for lunch for about 125$? My last complaint is about the safety features for the rides. How could you not put up warning notice for children to fasten their seat belts? They could have been in danger and you could be responsible for all of this! As the manager of the park, you will improve the situation. For example, you should put more rubbish bins so that no one will throw any more rubbish on the ground. Also, ask a technician to repair the rides that have problems so that more people will go to your amusement park and enjoy themselves. In order not keep people waiting so long, you can add more fun rides. In terms of the food, you have to decrease the price and sell more food and build up more food stalls. Last but not least, put up warning signs to warn people about their safety before riding rides. Yours faithfully, Benjamin Potts Email: bjpotts@ymial. com Mob: 07947 433445 51. What do we know about the amusement park from the passage? A. Its food price is reasonable B. Its cleanness impresses visitors C. It lacks warning signs for people D. It offers visitors a variety of rides 52. In the last paragraph, the author wants to_____. A. complain to the manager B. ask the manager for advice C. give the manager a warning D. offer the manager suggestions 53. Why does the author write this letter? A. To give some advice B. To get his money back C. To complain about the park D. To know about the park B Arjun’s Apps One stormy day, twelve-year-old Arjun Kumar was late getting home from school. It had been raining heavily near his school in Chennai, India. This delayed his school bus, and when he finally arrived, Arjun’s parents were worried. His parents’ concern gave Arjun an idea-he’d create an app, which can tell parents the location of their children’s school bus. While researching different ways to write apps, Arjun located an online programming tool on the website of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT was making the tool, called App Inventor, available to anyone who wanted to use it. As the motto on MIT’s website states, “Anyone Can Build Apps That Impact the World.” Arjun got to work doing just that. Using App Inventor, he created an app called “Ez School Bus Locator.” If a school introduced this app into its bus system, parents could log on to see the locations and estimated arrival times of their children’s school bus, Like other mapping apps, Ez School Bus Locator relied on GPS. GPS helps users determine their location, based on signals from a set of twenty-four satellites that orbit Earth. GPS-based apps calculate the location of a device by measuring the distances from three different GPS satellites. That’s how Arjun's app determined where the buses were located. The app could also confirm whether individual children were on the bus, Ez School Bus Locator used a specific bar code (编码) to identify each student. Students checked in when they got on and off the bus by using bar codes on their phones. As the bus driver drove, the app sent automatic messages to parents. Does Ez School Bus Locator sound like a good idea? MIT thought so. In 2012, MIT held a contest to honor the best apps that had been created using App Inventor. Arjun’s app won first place in the K-8 division, and in 2013, the app was available for purchase online. Arjun didn’t stop there. He continued developing new apps and he even started his own software development company. When asked for pointers for other young inventors, Arjun advised, “Look for problems around you, and get inspired from them. You’ll see a lot of opportunities to use your skills to make this world a better place to live!” 54. What is the passage mainly about? A. The life of inventor Arjun Kumar. B. A student’s invention of a bus locator app. C. How App Inventor helped Arjun write an app. D. How the rainy weather in India affected traffic. 55. What do we know about Arjun’s app from the passage? A. It could be downloaded online for free. B. It helped the children know where they were. C. It was introduced by Arjun into the school bus system. D. It used bar codes to track which children were on board. 56. Why did Arjun continue to work on software development? A. To inspire more young inventors. B. To win many awards for his inventions. C. To solve problems that he saw in the world. D. To earn money to continue his education at MIT. 57. What can we learn from Arjun Kumar’s story? A. Youth means limitless possibilities. B. A man owes his success to his family support. C. If you don’t aim high, you will never hit high. D. Good problem solvers are problem finders first. C A century ago, millions of Quino checkerspot butterflies （藜棋盘蝴蝶）flew above Southern California. Each about the size of a paperclip (回形针), the Quinos hatched （孵化）in great numbers each spring. Toward the end of the twentieth century, however, the development of farms and cities dramatically reduced the butterfly’s habitat. By 1997, the population of the Quinos had declined to a tiny amount of its historical numbers. The Quino’s situation continued to worsen. Wildfires burned much of its habitat, and temperatures were getting warmer and drier, making the environment more difficult to the butterfly’s host plant (寄生植物) called the dwarf plantain. Scientists knew that Quino caterpillars (毛虫) relied on the dwarf plantain as a food source. Each spring, the adult female butterflies laid eggs on dwarf plantains. When the caterpillars hatched, they fed on the plantain leaves. However, in the hot, dry summer, the plantains died off. The caterpillars responded by entering a state called diapause. Then, when normal winter rains came and the plantains’ flowers came out again, the caterpillars came back to life and started eating. Once they’d grown large enough, the caterpillars formed pupae (蛹) and emerged as adult butterflies. This strategy worked well in most years, but as average temperatures rose and rainfall decreased, the caterpillars weren’t getting sufficient food, and fewer developed into butterflies. Because the area where they lived was surrounded by developed cities and desert landscapes, the Quinos had limited options. They took off anyway, flying eastward into the hills. They landed in mountainous open spaces east of Los Angeles and San Diego. They found no dwarf plantains there. The females began laying their eggs on the leaves of other plants, primarily the Collinsia concolor. These plants remained green longer into the summer months. When the caterpillars Quinos survived, and their numbers grew in their new home. Scientists were surprised when they began encountering numerous Qunios in the eastern hills. They were cheered to learn that these small insects had adapted to changing conditions. The Quinos demonstrated the toughness needed to survive by finding not only a new habitat, but a new food source, too. Meanwhile, scientists had been raising Quino caterpillars in a lab and released hundreds of caterpillars into protected areas around San Diego. Between the efforts of scientists and the butterflies’ own actions, more of those colorfully checkered wings may soon be seen fluttering above the Southern California skies. 58. From the passage, we know Quino checkerspot butterflies in Southern California ______. A. were an endangered species B. couldn’t survive the winter cold C. were very adaptable to environmental changes D. couldn’t respond to the food shortage on their own 59. How did Quino checkerspot butterflies adapt to changed conditions? A. They travelled to a new habitat. B. They found new dwarf plantains. C. They laid more eggs on host plants. D. They learned to fly high up in the mountains 60. What does the underlined word “diapause” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Dying from hunger. B. Stopping bodily functions. C. Becoming more active. D. Surviving the hot summer. 61. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Quino Checkerspot Butterflies Get Help B. Quino Checkerspot Butterflies: Endangered C. Quino Checkerspot Butterflies: Small, but Strong D. Quino Checkerspot Butterflies Find a New Habitat D A Fluent Advantage When schools go through budget cuts, foreign language classes are often placed on the cutting block. School administrators often do not understand how important foreign language study is for their students’ success in the real world. Far from cutting language classes, schools should be demanding them for all students. Studying a foreign language should be required in middle schools. Language study strengthens students’ minds. Many studies have indicated that multilingual people—people who speak more than one language—are better at certain tasks. Specifically, multilingual people have better executive(执行的) function than people who speak only one language. Executive function is the way the brain manages all the information it’s given, such as performing different tasks and deciding what to focus on. In brain scans, multilingual people show increased activity in the areas of the brain that control executive function. Researchers have guessed that this advantage exists because multilingual people must constantly decide which words from which language to use. As a result, multilingual people get lots of practice with executive function. Their brains can then apply those skills to other tasks, like paying attention or multitasking. This effect is especially strong for people who grow up speaking more than one language. The earlier students start language classes, the more benefits they may get from language study. Moreover, language study helps prepare students for their future careers. Today, language skills are in high demand on the job market and more and more businesses work in many countries across the world. As businesses become global, they need people who can communicate easily across national borders. To prepare for their careers, more students should be learning foreign languages. From 2010 to 2015, the demand in the United States for workers who speak a second language doubled. This trend included workers of all skill levels and backgrounds. Of course, in order to make better use of the advantages of foreign language study, middle school foreign language classes should not just make students memorize new words and sounds. They must also teach students about new cultures. Foreign language classes should be required to include lessons about history, literature, customs, and government along with the languages themselves. These subjects will help students become better global citizens and support their studies in other subjects. Requiring middle schoolers to study a foreign language offers them opportunities to sharpen their brains. It also gives them tools that will help them become productive members of today's global society. 62. How does the author feel about foreign Language study in middle schools? A. More foreign language classes should be offered in middle schools. B. Studying a foreign language should be a middle school requirement. C. Foreign language classes should be cut because of the limited funds. D. Taking a foreign language class in middle schools should be a choice. 63. The author believes____________. A. people’s executive function improves after foreign language classes B. people learn languages better as young people than when they are older C. being able to work in another country doubles people's job opportunities D. people who speak more than one language have better executive function 64. What’s the authors purpose of writing Paragraph 4? A. To sum up his argument. B. To put forward a solution. C. To emphasize his point of view. D. To introduce an additional suggestion. 65. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage? I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C:Conclusion 第二节 七选五 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，共 10 分) Robot Teachers If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top the list. _____ (66) But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. _____ (67) British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. _____ (68) Then they will adapt the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy (同理心)and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can. _____ (69) A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9-16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t get stressed, or tried, or move somewhere for an easier job. Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world feel overworked because it is a difficult job. _____ (70) Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best. A. One thing is certain, though. B. Could there be a place for robots in education after all? C. It is argued that robot teachers are likely to impact children’s privacy. D. However, people are worried about the use of robot teachers in schools. E. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. F. Perhaps the question is not ‘Will robots replace teachers?’ but ‘How can robots help teachers?’ G. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. 第四部分：书面表达（15 分） 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你准备在寒假期间参加学校组织的英语演讲比赛，在 准备期间遇到了困难。请给你的外教 Jim 写一封邮件，向他寻求帮助，内容包括： 1、介绍英语演讲比赛的相关信息（主题、目的……）; 2、说明你的困难。 注意：1、词数不少于 50； 2、开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 3、英语演讲比赛 an English Speech Contest 答题纸 听力第三节 (每题 1.5 分，共 7.5 分) 16.________________17.______________18._________________19._______________20._________________ 语法填空 (每题 1.5 分，共_15 分)- 21.______________22.______________23.______________24._____________25.______________ 26.______________27.______________28._______________29._____________ 30._____________ 七选五 (每题 2 分，共 10 分) 66._________ 67.__________68.__________69. _________ 70.__________ 第四部分：书面表达（15 分） Dear Jim, ———————————————————————————————————————————- ———————————————————————————————————————————- ———————————————————————————————————————————- ———————————————————————————————————————————- ———————————————————————————————————————————- ———————————————————————————————————————————- ———————————————————————————————————————————- Yours, Li Hua ————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————————-—————————————————————-————————— 参考答案 第一部分听力 1－5: BBAAB 6－10: CBCAC 11－15: CACAB 16.
