第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 37.5 分
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A, B、C 和D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Haad Farang (Haad Sai Yao), Koh Muc
This small but striking bay in Thailand has waters free from riptides ( 激 流 ), making it safe for families to play water in the sun. As its nick name implies—farang is Thai for foreigners--you will find a large concentration of backpackers here. Still, with only a couple of simple food shops, it’s a far cry from the noises of Chaweng beach on Koh Samui or Kamala on Phuket, which makes it to be one of the top tourist destinations.
Rent a sea kayak (100 baht, which is around £2 an hour) and go around the corner to Tham Morakot (the Emerald Cave), a winding cave that opens up to a bay walled by thick leaves and often visited by groups of monkeys. It is very inspiring, but to fully appreciate it, be sure to prepare a light to avoid knocking into cave walls and other kayaks. To avoid being crowded, make the trip in the late afternoon.
Where to eat
The Ko Yao Viewpoint Restaurant is the best place for tourists. Drink the sweet cocktails in favour of an icy Chang beer and enjoy the last rays of the bay.
Getting there
Fly from Bangkok to Trang with AirAsia (from£30), then take a one-hour Tigerline ship from Hat Yao Pier (£19). Besides, a five-hour ship from Phuket at Rassada Pier (£41) goes directly to the island and will drop passengers at Haad Farang.

1. What is most likely to attract many people to Haad Farang?

C. Its simple food shops. D. Its quiet environment.
2. What can we know about the Tham Morakot?
A. It is a winding cave covered with thick leaves. B. Groups of monkeys live inside.
C. Tourists need to bring a light to find the exit. D. It has fewer visitors in the late afternoon.
3. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. Travel magazines. B. Newspapers. C. The Internet. D. A science report.

A dog spent the last four years of his life waiting a crossroad in the Thai city of Khon Kaen as if waiting for someone. People originally thought the dog had been abandoned, but then realized that he looked healthy, so people asked around about him. It turned out that the dog had indeed been spending most of his time around that crossroad, but a woman had been coming round regularly to bring him food and water.
One day, while photographing the dog everyone called Leo, a reporter met the woman who had been taking care of him. She had come to drop off some food. After learning the story about the dog and the woman, the reporter decided to share the story on social media. The post soon went viral and the photos of Leo got shared hundreds of times. And the photos reached the eyes of Leo’s former old owner. Nang Noi Sittisarn, a 64-year-old woman from Thailand’s Roi Et Province, almost had a heart attack when her daughter showed her a photo of the beloved dog named BonBon she had lost during a car trip. When she learned that he had been waiting for her in the same spot for the last four years, her
heart melted(融化).
Auntie Noi told her daughter to drive her to where the dog was waiting. When she got there and called his name. BonBon, the poor dog started wiggling( 扭 动 ) his tail and came to her, but when she tried to take him home with her, he was unwilling to follow. She didn’t want to force the dog to come with her so she agreed to leave him with his new master. However, she and her daughter will come to visit him regularly.
4. Why did the dog look healthy after separation from his former owner?
A. He walked around the crossroad constantly.
B. He was kept at a woman’s home all the time.
C. A local reporter brought him food and water.
D. A woman looked after him on a regular basis.
5. What does the underlined phrase “went viral” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

B. We should adjust ourselves to environments.
A. We need to learn to be faithful and thankful.
B. No one knows the result until the last minute
C
A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically, it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”
2. Which of the following statements was the difficulty engineers met while making the robotic fly?
A. They did not have sufficient fund.
B. No ready-made components were available.
C. There was no model in their mind.
D. It was hard for them to assemble the components.
3. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. The robotic fly has been put into wide application.
B. The robotic fly consists of a flight device and a control system.
C. Information from many sources can be collected by the robotic fly.
D. The robotic fly can just fly in limited areas at present.
4. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.
B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.
D. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
5. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. The Development of Robotic Fly
B. Robotic Fly Promotes Engineering Science
C. Harvard’s Efforts in Making Robotic Fly
D. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect
D
For as long as there have been gifts, we naturally make choices based on the recipient (接受者). But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around, which not only made gift buying easier, but the recipient happier?
In 2015, psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Aknin conducted an online survey, which suggested that when people buy gifts, they prefer to choose something based on the recipient’s personality and tastes. Most people also said that they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them.
But Human and Aknin wondered if this approach to giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people. So they sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother’s Day. Half were told to buy a card that “reveals (揭示) your knowledge of the recipient” while the others set out to buy a card that “reveals your true self”. After the purchase, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers.
To find out how that approach goes down with recipients, the psychologists did another test, asking more than 100 students to choose a song on iTunes to give to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers. Results revealed that recipients of
songs that revealed something of the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind.
Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts. “If building stronger social connections is the underlying ( 潜 在 的 ) goal” of a gift and surely it should be—then we “may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts”. In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipient’s practical needs or tastes as one acquired purely with that in mind.
Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safer act, the psychologists added. Because it reduces the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by attempting to buy something that fits their character—and failing.
But a note of caution here: what the research does not examine is the potential risk in repeated, unsympathetic giver-centered giving, which, according to Human and Aknin “could signal self- obsession” —and nobody wants to reveal that about themselves.
1. From the Mother’s Day card test, we can conclude that .
A. gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the giver
B. most people choose gifts with the recipient in mind
C. most people choose gifts based on their personal tastes
D. gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the recipient
2. What do the underlined words “them, them” refer to in order of appearance?
A. The recipients; the givers. B. The givers; the recipients.
C. The givers; the givers. D. The recipients; the recipients.
3. What does the author think is the significance of gift giving?
A. Making the giver’s life happier.
B. Showing one’s knowledge of the recipient.
C. Establishing and strengthening social connections.
D. Meeting the recipient’s practical needs.
4. Which of the following is Human and Aknin’s advice on gift giving?
A. Choose gifts that reflect more of yourself.
B. Just focus on your own tastes when choosing gifts.
C. Buy something that fits the recipient’s character most.
D. Be careful not to signal your true personality.

Today’s students are surrounded by information. The ability to figure out exactly why authors write--and not accept every opinion as fact--is a key skill. 36 The following strategies teach them how to figure out why authors really write.
Start with why. “Why did the author write this piece?” is the key question asked to identify author’s purpose. To help students expand their understanding of “why,” post various types of nonfiction (an advertisement, opinion article, news article, etc.) around your classroom and have students quickly identify a purpose for each. 37
Talk about structure. Authors use different structures for different purposes. For example, one author may use time order to explain an event, while another author uses compare and contrast to put that event into context.
38 Often when authors write, they’re trying to get readers to feel a certain way. Perhaps the author of an article about whale conservation wants readers to feel sad about the difficult situation of whales. Or the author of a letter may want to make the recipient feel better about a situation. After students read a text, stop and ask: How do you feel? And how did the author get you to feel this way?
Connect it to students’ own writing. It doesn’t have to be said that writing and reading go hand in hand. 39 When students are asked to write about a topic that they think everyone should know about, to explain a procedure or to share a personal memory, they’ll become more conscious of how authors approach writing.
Observe how purpose changes within a text. Author’s purpose is often studied through the text as a whole, but authors have different reasons for writing within texts as well. 40 Then, they may launch into a list of facts that make the reader feel discouraged about the situation. And finally, they may conclude with an appeal. Take a short article and break it apart, identifying the different purposes so that students see how author’s purpose changes as they read.
A. Get to the heart.
B. Identify the topic.
C. The readers may get more advanced in their work with informational text.
D. For example, an author may include a funny anecdote (轶事) to draw the reader in.
E. In particular, they'll need to figure out author’s purpose and draw their own conclusions.
F. Expand students’ awareness of why people write by having them write for different purposes.
G. Or keep a running Author's Purpose board with a list of the various reasons that authors write.

Coffee shops are cool, but in Wilmington, Bitty&Beau’s Coffee enjoys a good reputation for its warmth.
At the heart of the shop’s popularity is its 41 staff: Almost everyone has an intellectual(智力的) or developmental disability.

Today, the store employs 40 people with disabilities, who are really good at their jobs.
What makes Amy most proud is the 50 it has built in the community. “Every day, people say, ‘You’ve made my day. Thank you.” That’s a feeling of happiness most people don’t get elsewhere, and it's what 51 people back here,” she said. “This is a place where people can 52 with those with disabilities and realize how much more alike we are than different. It’s 53 a cup of coffee. It’s a human rights movement. It’s given our employees the respect and a sense of being 54 that they deserve. For many employees, it’s their first job, and their 55 fills the air.”

Calligraphy, the art of writing, was the visual art form prized above all others in traditional China. Painting was contemporary with calligraphy, sharing 56 same tools—namely, brush and ink. Yet calligraphy was regarded 57 a fine art long before painting.
The status of calligraphy reflects the importance of the word in China. 58 makes the written words distinctive is its visual form. However, despite its abstract 59 (appear), calligraphy is not an abstract form. Chinese characters are dynamic, closely connected with the forces of nature and the kinesthetic(动觉) energies of the human body.
How can a simple character convey all this? The use of brush and ink 60 (have) much to do with it. A calligrapher can control the 61 (thick) of the ink by varying both the amount of water and the solid ink. Once he starts writing, by loading the brush sometimes with 62 (much) ink or sometimes with less, he creates characters that resemble a shower of rocks here and a drop of dew(露水) there.
The Chinese written language 63 (begin) to develop more than 3,000 years ago and 64 (eventual) evolved into five basic scrip types. Over the centuries, calligraphers were free to write in any of them, 65 (depend) on the texts function. The calligraphic tradition remains alive today.

Dear Tony,
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have
Paragraph 2:
Thus, Robert’s life was saved.
nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal.
From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.

Dear Tony,
Knowing that you take a great interest in Chinese culture, I’m writing to invite you to attend Chinese Poetry Contest for foreigners to be held by our school at 9:30 am next Saturday in the school hall.
Similar contests are watched by many people in China as ancient Chinese culture is regaining popularity these days. Also, the wisdom delivered through Chinese classic poems can be rather impressive and helpful for the learners of the Chinese language.
It will be a rather unforgettable activity and I sincerely hope you could come with me. Looking forward to your early reply!
读后续写【参考答案】
Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time.By great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Robert to the shore.
Thus, Robert’s life was saved.Robert and his new friends were ashamed at having called Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil. 听力原文:

M: That’s just it. I may not go. What would you do if your boyfriend asked you not to go? W: Well, I would invite him to come with me.
M: I’ve tried that. She said she won’t go. And she might break up with me.
W: That’s ridiculous! If I were you, I would warn her not to try and control me. I missed a big opportunity once.
M: What happened?
W: I was offered a job in Thailand, but my husband dislike the idea so we didn’t go. I should have taken the job. I’ve always regretted my decision. In my situation, what would you have done?
M: Oh, I would have accepted the offer.
W: well, there’s the answer to your problem. Accept your scholarship. Text 10
OK! Boys and girls, attention please! Let me tell you about my experience in the Young Elephant Training Center in Thailand, which is very impressive. In the center, when an elephant is born, he or she remains with the mother for the first three years of life. Then, In July of the year of the youngster’s third birthday, it’s off to school. Just like us humans, the mother elephant may not want her baby to leave, and the little one may be reluctant to go to school, but it has to be done. The mother must return to her own work routine and the “baby” must be educated for his future career. The elephant school semester runs from June until February the following year, and the young pupil will go to school five days a week. Each school day morning sees the trainees being rounded up from the forest where they have spent the night. Isn’t that amazing? Well, please follow me and have a look at the pictures on the big screen. Look, this shows how the young elephants serve the people. They are trained so that they can be integrated into everyday life in Thailand. Now, any questions?

60. has 考查时态和主谓一致。此处句子介绍一种客观情况,意为“笔墨的使用与此有很大关系”,句子的主语是单数概念,故谓语动词使用 has。
