Since its beginning in 1980, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that's the traditional togetherness(友爱) that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through songs.‎ This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. “People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation,” Riedel said. “It’s really easy to relax, and it's great seeing family and friends have fun together.” These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests.‎ With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue(举办地) for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food,‎ ‎ reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.‎ The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it’s easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.‎ The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug. 4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug. 8.‎ ‎21. The Edmonton Folk Music Festival is held mainly to _______. ‎ A. gather people with different musical tastes B. remind people of the real sense of folk music C. exhibit the good voices of great talents in folk music D. collect old stories of folk music ‎22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Riedel has volunteered for the festival for at least 5 years.‎ B. It's hard for people to appreciate Blues.‎ C. It costs people a little to fill up their cups from water stations.‎ D. People have to pay $2 for a plate of food.‎ ‎23. We can learn from the passage that _______. ‎ A. people can get tickets easily for the festival B. the Edmonton Folk Music Festival is well organized C. driving one’s own car to the festival is highly recommended D. bikes are available at the festival from Wednesday to Sunday B Shane Gero, a scientist at Aarhus University in Denmark, spent 6 years studying sperm whales(抹香鲸), which communicate through very loud clicks. He found that sperm whales in the Caribbean Sea had different clicks from those in the Pacific Ocean. He even “translated” the clicks from a group of Caribbean sperm whales, believing them to say, “I'm from the Caribbean, are you?”, reported National Geographic. As well as being used for communication, the clicks also ‎ allow whales to develop a relationship with one another, according to Gero.‎ Apart from sperm whales, other animals like wolves and apes also have different regional accents. Researchers analyzed the howls of different species of wolves. They found that red wolves, Arctic wolves and other wolves have howls that vary in pitch(音调). In other words, they have their own dialects.‎ According to Darcy Kelley from Columbia University, most animals learn their accents naturally. For example, macaques(猕猴) start speaking their dialect as soon as they are born. Scientists placed some macaques in a new environment where their playmates all spoke a different dialect. But the macaques still spoke their own dialect. Their environment had no influence on their communication, according to the Washington Post.‎ ‎“In most species, communication appears to have a genetic basis,” Kelley explained in the Washington Post. “However, among a small number of species, animals can learn from others and develop their own accents.”‎ Fruit flies are a good example. According to Science Daily, they send messages through their wing movements. Scientists found that fruit flies can only communicate efficiently with others of the same species. However, they can learn new dialects by spending time around other species.‎ ‎“A proper accent is vital to mating and warning the coming of enemies, which is the basis of protecting themselves,” Kelley told the Washington Post. A species can't risk changing their own dialect and learning a new one.‎ ‎24. What does the author want to show by talking about the sperm whales at the beginning?‎ A. Animals have different dialects.‎ B. Sperm whales live in different oceans.‎ C. Animals can speak different local languages.‎ D. Whales communicate through clicking noises.‎ ‎25. Why do researchers believe that wolves have their own dialects?‎ A. Wolves are wild animals using language.‎ B. Wolves live in different areas of the world.‎ C. There are different kinds of wolves in the world.‎ D. Wolves of different kinds howl at different pitches.‎ ‎26. According to Kelley, what can dialects help animals to do?‎ A. Have a better chance of survival.‎ B. Fight with other species for food.‎ C. Communicate with other species better.‎ D. Pass on information to the next generation.‎ C Rosie Dutton, a teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the often unseen but harmful effects of school bullying(欺凌).‎ ‎ She posted the lesson on Facebook, where it's been shared more than 160,000 times. Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she presented the children with two red apples. What the kids didn't know was that before the lesson, she had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect.‎ ‎ “I picked up the apple I’d dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple,” Dutton wrote. “I told them that because I didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either, so they should call it names too.” Some of the children looked at her as if she were “crazy”, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names.‎ ‎ Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with words like “Your skin is beautiful” and “What a beautiful colour you have”. Dutton then showed the students both apples once again, stressing that “There was no change, and both apples still looked the same.”‎ ‎ Finally, Dutton cut both apples open. The apple that the class treated kindly looked fresh inside. But the other apple — the one they'd treated poorly — was bruised(碰伤的) beneath its skin.‎ ‎ “I think there was a light bulb moment for the children immediately,” Dutton said. “When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don’t show or tell others how they are feeling. If we hadn’t cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.” Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying.‎ ‎ “Let’s create a generation of kind caring children,” the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”‎ ‎27. What had the teacher done to the first apple before the lesson?‎ A. She had introduced it to the kids.‎ B. She had colored it bright.‎ C. She had made it look perfect.‎ D. She had damaged it purposely.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined part “call it names” (Para.3) mean?‎ A. Shout at it. B. Make fun of it. C. Cheer for it. D. Say rude things.‎ ‎29. What did the teacher tell the kids to do with the second apple?‎ A. Drop it. B. Praise it. C. Ignore it. D. Respect it.‎ ‎30. What's the purpose of the teacher’s using two apples in class?‎ A. To draw the kids’ attention.‎ B. To explain her personal preferences.‎ C. To help the kids understand the results of bullying.‎ D. To make a comparison between them.‎ 笫二节（共5个小题；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。‎ Say Goodbye to Post-holiday Syndrome You’ve spent countless days waking up late, enjoying watching your favorite TV shows and lying on the couch. 31 It’s time to go back to work. Here are some tips to make the shift from vacation to work of smoother.‎ Tidy up your work- space first.‎ Chances are you’ll be greeted by piles of unopened mail, files, and other office items sitting on your desk. 32 The longer you wait, the more likely these items will be sitting around your desk later in the week. ‎ ‎ 33 ‎ You may feel the urge to work on three different things at the same time in order to catch up on work. However, this is not the most efficient approach. Instead, you should make a point to focus your mind and to only work on one item or task at a time.‎ Remove unnecessary distractions.（注意力分散）‎ It’s incredibly important to get serious about cutting out obvious distractions. This way, you can catch up on things efficiently without being bothered every five minutes. 34 ‎ Make plans to enjoy yourself the first week back.‎ ‎ 35 Scheduling a lunch date or two with friends can make the week back seem a bit less painful.

You'll be back to your old routine at work before you know it.‎ A. Do one thing at a time.‎ B. Make a list of tasks based on their importance.‎ C. Then you suddenly come to an uncomfortable realization.‎ D. So it’s a good idea to deal with these items as soon as you can.‎ E. You’re back at work, but that doesn’t mean you can't enjoy yourself.‎ F Rather than ignoring these items, take a few minutes to process them.‎ G. Switch off your cell phone, and close out of any social media accounts.‎ 第三部分： 语言运用(共两节，满分60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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ If you look Chinese and speak Mandarin, you can call for a ride in Vancouver via WeChat, a Chinese app. The drivers normally call back to 36 the order, says Daniel Merkin, who lives in the Canadian city. “Sometimes they'll 37 on me when they realize I don’t speak Mandarin,” he says. But he keeps 38 , because popular ride-hailing （网约车） services, like Uber (优步), are not available. The Chinese service is not legal, but it is 39 . Mr. Merkin hopes that his 40 will soon expand.‎ In July the province of British Columbia, which licenses drivers, said it would allow the big ride-hailing services 41 . But British Columbia has made their entry 42 by requiring drivers to hold commercial licenses. The government has reason to be 43 . In many cities where ride-hailing has 44 , traffic jam has worsened and use of public transport ‎ has 45 .‎ However, Andrew Curran, head of policy at Trans Link, the city’s public-transport system, believes ride-hailing could 46 use of public transport by ferrying people from their houses to a bus or train stop. It could also improve transport for people with 47 . Currently, Trans-Link hires taxis to give door-to-door rides to some disabled people.

Some of Uber’s future competitors say they are not 54 . A driver, who offers rides in his Mercedes SUV to people who hire him via Wechat, thinks his customers will stay 55 .

Inside, her classmate and friend had fallen asleep.‎ Downstairs, Christine’s mom, Donna, was grasping Anna’s mother Sheila around the shoulders.‎ ‎“We should go,” she said. “Get some rest, huh?” Sheila nodded, blew her nose, and then waved them goodbye.‎ On the car ride home, Christine worked up the courage to ask the question on her mind. “Mom? Why was Sheila weeping?” She thought she knew the answer, of course: Anna’s cancer. In the past, Anna had been the neighborhood do-gooder, always going door to door for various causes: the local animal shelter, suffering children in Africa, or the families who’d lost their homes to fire. Now Anna could barely feed or dress herself. Christine thought it so unfair when bad things like this happened to good people.‎ ‎“Well, it’s complex, but I guess you’re old enough to understand.”‎ ‎“Understand what?”‎ ‎“Understand that Anna is sick, yes, but Anna actually gets a lot of help. The government helps pay for a lot of her medicine. She gets meals delivered to her by a nonprofit. She even gets massages from local volunteers.”‎ ‎“Wow!”‎ ‎“Her life’s still very hard, of course, and no one would trade places with her, but when you ‎ have cancer, everyone can see that you need help, “continued Donna.” They don’t always see that the people around you are suffering.”‎ ‎“People like Sheila?”‎ ‎“Yes, did you know that Sheila took a break from her job to stay home with Anna?”‎ ‎“No!” Christine was surprised. She had never thought about who took Anna to her appointments, or fed her when she was too weak to lift a spoon. Of course it was her family.‎ ‎“Yes. So that means that many of the things they used to do with that extra money are all out the window now. They’re even worried now about keeping the house.”‎ ‎ “Their house? So Anna might have to move, while she’s sick?”‎ ‎“If she doesn't get better soon, and the bills keep piling up...” Donna pulled into the driveway, and just in time. Her cheeks were shining with tears.‎ 注意：‎ 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ 2. 至少使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ 4. 续写完成后，使用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1.‎ ‎“There has to be something done for them,” Christine said firmly to their classmates and friends._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2.‎ But the best part of the party was when Anna came through the door with her family, attracted with promises of a chocolate cake and live music. _______________________________‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 参考答案 第一部分：听力：1-5 CAACC 6-10 ACBAB 11-15CCABC 16-20CBAAB ‎ 第二部分：阅读理解：21-23 BAB 24-26 ADA 27-30 DDBC 31-35 CFAGE 第三部分：语言运用 完形填空：36-40 BCABD 41-45 DBCAC 46-50 BAACB 51-55 ADBDC 语法填空：56. known 57. diseases 58.

She described Anna’s situation and the scene of Sheila weeping. Everyone was deeply touched as they knew what a selfless person Anna is. Christine suggested having a yard sale to raise money for her family. They would surprise them with money at a party with a chocolate cake and live music. Everyone gathered their old belongings to sell. After a day of hard work, they made 1,000 dollars and rushed to Christine’s house to set up the party. Everyone enjoyed delicious foods and wonderful music.‎ But the best part of the party was when Anna came through the door with her family, attracted with promises of a chocolate cake and live music. Everyone yelled, “Surprise!” and Anna’s face lit up. Christine took the microphone from the band and said, “Anna, we know you are going through a hard time, so we raised 1,000 dollars to repay you for your good deeds and help pay your bills. Know that we will always be with you.” Tears of joy fell down Anna’s cheeks ‎ as we hugged her.‎ 听力原文 Text 1‎ M: I'm no expert. But that noise in your refrigerator doesn't sound good.

Walkers are welcome too!‎ The race begins at a quarter past nine but you should arrive at the Town Hall forty-five minutes before, at half past eight, to check in and get your race number. There are money prizes for the winners in different age groups and everybody will get a free T-shirt when they finish.‎ Adults pay $2 each to run in the race. It is only $1.50 for children and students and if the whole family decide to run there is a special price of $5 per family. Make sure to wear comfortable running shoes. And don't forget to bring some water with you—Saturday is going to be a lovely warm day and you may get thirsty. But it'll be lots of fun—see you there!‎
