Desperate for adventure, we often talked about haunted (闹鬼的) locations, and even wandered around the woods near Rienzi Cemetery. So when a friend shared a story about an abandoned house just down the road from Rienzi, how could I possibly resist? The group of us jumped in the car and headed off into the wild unknown, completely unaware of the misfortune that would soon befall us.‎ The house was isolated, overgrown and barely visible from the road. Most of its windows were broken. It seemed completely neglected except the locked door and a NO ENTRY sign outside. How would anyone notice, or possibly even care, if we went in and looked around?‎ We stole inside, hoping for anything to prove the legend. Nothing valuable was found until an old letter, addressed to a Mr. J. Witherell, caught my eye. Its paper was stiff and yellowed. Excited by the physical evidence, I slipped the letter into my back pocket. I was about to exit the house when I noticed firetrucks and police cars lining up out on the road. While most of us were exploring the house, one of us managed to knock a fire detector off the ceiling, which triggered an automated alarm at the fire ‎ department. I quickly alerted the others, but there would be no escape.‎ After a moment of panic, we decided to go outside and face the music. To avoid a theft charge, I left the letter where it was before stepping outside.‎ The result? Not only did we all get fined for entering, we were required to pay for property damage totaling $1,500 each — too much for us to afford.‎ For so many years, I have been wondering: Why is the deserted house so heavily protected with detectors and other security measures? Why is the property regularly maintained? What's the story behind that mysterious letter?‎ ‎24.What did the shabby appearance of the house seem to remind the kids?‎ A.They would have no trouble entering it.‎ B.Their entry would bring them a surprise.‎ C.Their entry would disturb the neighbours.‎ D.Their behavior would be noticed by its owner.‎ ‎25.Why did the author attempt to take the letter away?‎ A.It might reveal who had been maintaining the house.‎ B.It might help uncover the mystery of the abandoned house.‎ C.It must have been written to disclose a tragedy.‎ D.It was an evidence of the house being heavily protected.‎ ‎26.What led the police cars and firetrucks to arrive so quickly?‎ A.The police officers were checking there.‎ B.The house owner reported to the police.‎ C.The police cars were passing by accident.‎ D.Some boy started the fire alarm system.‎ ‎27.What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A.The empty house has been under strict protection.‎ B.The author wonders why they got fined.‎ C.No maintenance to the house is conducted regularly.‎ D.There is much mystery about the abandoned house.‎ C ‎ The expression, “everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of the concept of peer ‎ pressure. It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or behave in a similar way as a larger group.‎ People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly surprising that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct explains why the approval of peers, or the fear of disapproval, is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true.‎ For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes an addiction. Teens and young adults may feel forced to smoke, or drink alcohol, which might encourage criminal behavior. Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal activity at the company where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to keep up with the peers.‎ However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends are good at academics may be urged to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off smoking, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one.‎ Although peer pressure is sometimes quite obvious, it can also be so subtle that a person may not even notice that it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, simply going with an instinct is risky. Instead, people should seriously consider why they feel drawn to taking a particular action, or it is simply because everyone else is doing the same thing.‎ ‎28.What does the underlined word “instinct” in paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A.A natural tendency. B.An acquired ability.‎ C.A popular idea. D.An obvious mistake.‎ ‎29.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?‎ A.Potential causes of peer pressure.‎ B.Possible positive effects of peer pressure.‎ C.Negative consequences of peer pressure.‎ D.Tips for coping with peer pressure.‎ ‎30.What is the author’s suggestion when making a decision?‎ A.Simply go with an instinct.‎ B.Ask for advice from adults.‎ C.Listen to the inner motivation.‎ D.Follow in the footsteps of others.‎ ‎31.What is the author’s attitude to peer pressure?‎ A.Objective. B.Ambiguous.‎ C.Critical. D.Indifferent.‎ D ‎ Debates over the benefits of recycling started in 1996 when a writer called John Tierney said “recycling is garbage”. According to him, “Recycling programs offer mainly short-term benefits to a few related groups while diverting money from real social and environmental problems. It doubles energy consumption and pollution while costing taxpayers more money than dealing with old garbage. Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America.”‎ Environmental groups were quick to respond to Tierney by issuing reports detailing the benefits of recycling and showing how municipal (市政的) recycling programs reduce pollution and the use of resources while decreasing the amount of garbage and the need for landfill space — all for less, not more, than the cost of regular garbage collection and disposal(处置).‎ But in 2002, New York City, an early municipal recycling pioneer, found that its much-praised recycling program was losing money, so it eliminated glass and plastic recycling. According to the Mayor, the benefits of recycling plastic and glass were outweighed by the price—-recycling cost twice as much as disposal. Meanwhile, low demand for the materials meant that much of it was ending up in landfills anyway. NYC closed its last landfill and brought in a more efficient system, with more famous service providers than it had used previously.‎ The lessons learned by New York are applicable everywhere. Some early recycling programs waste resources and lead to new trash. But the situation has improved as cities have gained experience. If managed correctly, recycling programs should cost cities and taxpayers less than garbage disposal for any given amount of material. Even though the benefits of recycling over disposal are various, individuals should keep in mind that it better serves the environment to reduce and reuse materials before recycling even becomes an option.‎ ‎32.John Tierney thought that recycling ___________.‎ A.is a waste of money B.leads to a lack of employers C.is beneficial to the environment D.will become popular in the future ‎33.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 3?‎ A.Required. B.Forgot.‎ C.Encouraged. D.Cancelled.‎ ‎34.What does the last paragraph imply?‎ A.We should make recycling an option.‎ B.Public recycling programs are in a bad situation.‎ C.We should develop the awareness of resource saving.‎ D.Cost-saving should be considered first in recycling work.‎ ‎35.What can be the best title for this passage?‎ A.The harm of recycling B.Is recycling really beneficial?‎ C.The recycling work in New York City D.Is environmental protection making progress?‎ 第二节.七选五 (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。‎ Is Society Too Dependent On Technology?‎ Just think, what would happen if your computer, iPad or laptop crashed today? What if someone took away your phone for some days or perhaps you lost it? 36. Today, most people are becoming dependent on technology.‎ Most of us cannot go for a minute without looking at our phones and the fear of the battery dying is immense. If you happen to work in offices you may be familiar with this trend. 37. Anyway, it’s true. How can work continue if it’s hard to send an email to a colleague or customer? This is common in almost all offices.‎ Kids used to spend a lot of time with each other or parents playing or just sharing stories. Those evening games after school are over; watching cartoons on a Sunday or playing with friends are no longer there. 38. Technology has taken all their time.‎ Society may have gone too far in technology dependence. It has become so immense that doctors have recommended for “technology detox”. 39. If not, according to Oxford Dictionary, Technology Detox is a period during which an individual avoids using any electronic devices including computers, smart phones, etc., as a chance to reduce stress and focus on social interaction in the outside world.‎ Well, the choice remains in our hands. We must agree that society is being carried away by the increased inventions being introduced in our lives today. 40. Meanwhile, we should have the discipline to turn it off when we are supposed to experience life in reality.‎ A.Perhaps you may have heard of it.‎ B.We appreciate technology since it has its benefits.‎ C.If the Internet is down, all the tasks are over for the day.‎ D.Technology addiction has become a major problem among teenagers.‎ E.If thinking about these incidences makes you stressed, you are not alone.‎ F.Here are some signs that our generation depends too much on technology.‎ G.Today, most kids remain indoors playing computer games or with a smart phone.‎ 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）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，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。‎ ‎ Rishi Sharma, a young man, is living his life differently.
