When I 37 for the basketball team, not 38 it became what I was worried about most. I went to the tryouts but simply sat on the sidelines and 39 . I missed out on making the team, not for lack of 40 , but because of the rather too big barriers I bore in my head preventing me getting around and then 41 the ball.‎ ‎ The year continued, and at that age I hadn’t overcome the fears ‎42 in my mind.

I started training, mentally, 45 , and emotionally.‎ ‎ I went to a small ‎46 in the country, where the teachers didn’t care whether you succeeded. I went to practice daily and competed as if it was my 47 day outing on a helmet. Later that week I made the football team. But it was simply 48 . In my eyes this wasn’t good enough, and I could do much better. In the middle of the season, the coaches said I was 49 to play with the big boys, and before I knew it I was starting as a(n) 50 .‎ ‎ I’d come a long way from the little boy that was scared from his own 51 .

On the last Saturday, the museum hosts A Big Fat Greek Happy Hour, with extended museum hours and a screening of either “300” or “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” (The movie will be chosen based on votes on the National Geographic Museum’s Facebook page.)‎ Americana Beer Fest at Morven Park The Americana Beer Fest makes its local debut at the Morven Park. The 66 participating breweries (酿酒厂) include a few big names — Bell’s, New Belgium, Boulevard — and an exceptionally strong cast of local producers, including Aslin, Ocelot, Crooked Run and Vanish. Samples are unlimited. Food trucks serve snacks. Musical performances are given by the band Trampled by Turtles. ‎ AFI Docs The documentary film festival kicks off at the Newseum, with an opening night gala that features a screening of Alex Gibney’s “Zero Days,” followed by a Q&A with the director, and closes at the same location with “Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You” by Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing. Other highlights include Roger Ross Williams’s “Life, Animated,” based on the book by Ron Suskind, whose autistic (自闭症) son, Owen, communicates using lines from Disney films. ‎ Smithsonian Folklife Festival at the National Mall This year’s festival celebrates two far-apart places: the Basque country and California. The Basque region, located in northern Spain and southwestern France, is well-known for its unique language and excellent food, both of which will be featured at the Smithsonian festival, along with dance, music and boat-making. The “Sounds of California” part centers around a series of evening concerts, as well as daytime activities, that highlight the state’s diversity. As usual, visitors can expect a variety of discounts on food, craft vendors (小贩) and educational programs. ‎ ‎56. What can we learn from the passage?‎ ‎ A. The Americana Beer Fest has a preference for big names of breweries.‎ ‎ B. The movie played at A Big Fat Greek Happy Hour is chosen on the scene.‎ ‎ C. The opening and closing ceremonies of AFI Docs are held at the same location.‎ ‎ D. The Basque country part features evening concerts and daytime activities.‎ ‎57. In which section of a newspaper can we find this passage?‎ ‎ A. Literature. B. Entertainment. C. Business. D. Technology.‎ B For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or ‎ reproduce musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.‎ As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.‎ Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.‎ Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks, I’m amusic,’” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.” ‎ ‎58. Which of the following is true of amusics?‎ ‎ A. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.‎ ‎ B. They love places where they are likely to hear music.‎ ‎ C. They can easily tell two different songs apart.‎ ‎ D. Their situation is well understood by musicians.‎ ‎59. According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who __________.‎ ‎ A. dislikes listening to speeches B. can hear anything nonmusical ‎ C. has a hearing problem D. lacks a complex hearing system ‎60. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that __________.‎ ‎ A. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlier ‎ B. she were seventeen years old rather than seventy ‎ C. her problem could be easily explained ‎ D. she were able to meet other amusics ‎61. What is the passage mainly concerned with?‎ ‎ A. Amusics’ strange behaviours. B. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.‎ ‎ C. Musical talent and brain structure. D. Identification and treatment of amusics.‎ C Finally, the long-awaited flying car is almost here.‎ AeroMobil, a Slovakian company, plans to start selling its creation, the AeroMobil 3.0, in 2018.‎ The company claims on its site that the vehicle “transforms in seconds from an automobile to an airplane” by using “existing infrastructure created for automobiles and planes.” The vehicle is gas-powered and has wings that fold, which allows it to be parked like a car, though it is nearly 20 feet long.‎ The company’s web site features a video where the AeroMobil 3.0 drives out of a hangar (飞机库) and goes down a highway, sharing the road with regular cars until it arrives at an airstrip. The car then unfolds its wings and takes off from a stretch of grass, rather than a paved tarmac (停机坪) , and flies through the air like any other small airplane.‎ AeroMobil spokesman Stefan Vadocz said his company hasn’t nailed down an exact price because it’s not ready yet.‎ ‎“The prototype is a work in progress,” he said in an email. But he said to expect the price to be several hundreds of thousands of euros, somewhere in between a sports car and a light sports aircraft. The vehicle seats two people — the pilot and a passenger — and its single propeller (螺旋桨) is located to the rear of the plane. The company said the car’s top speed on the road is at least ‎99 mph and while flying is at least ‎124 mph. It can fly for 435 miles before running out of gas. It has a steel framework and carbon coating and is powered by a Rotax 912, a four-cylinder aircraft engine from BRP of Austria.‎ Flying cars aren’t exactly new. The concept has been around since long before “The Jetsons” popularized the idea in the 1960s. It’s been a regular topic in Popular Science ever since the famous pilot Eddie Rickenbacker in World War I wrote about it in 1924. But getting a practical, reliable flying car off the ground has been a serious challenge. Glenn Curtiss, a strong competitor of the Wright Brothers, discovered this in 1918 when he developed the Curtiss Autoplane. It turned out to be more of a hopper than a flyer, so it failed to take off with the public.‎ The AeroMobil 3.0 has at least one competitor, the Terrafugia Transition, which also runs on gas and has folding wings. Terrafugia has said in the past that it plans to release the Transition into the market this year. ‎ ‎62. The AeroMobil 3.0 has the following features EXCEPT that .‎ ‎ A. it has to be powered by special fuel ‎ B. it is as convenient to park as a regular car ‎ C. it can share the same road with regular cars ‎ D. it can transform between a car and an airplane quickly ‎63. The underlined word “prototype” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to _________. ‎ ‎ A. perfect version B. fashionable design C. committed engineer D. original model ‎64. We can learn from the passage that __________.‎ A. Glenn Curtiss was a pioneer in making a flying car B. since 1924 the flying car has become the most popular topic worldwide C. the Transition will definitely defeat the AeroMobil 3.0 on the market D. the AeroMobil 3.0 is expected to be as cheap as a regular car ‎65. The passage is mainly about _________.‎ A. the working principles of a flying car B. the introduction to a new invention C. the comparison between different products D. the advantages of the AeroMobil 3.0 over regular cars D Holiday was over. The school bus was due to pick up my daughters in four minutes, and they were doing their last minute gathering of shoes, water bottles, lunches, and backpacks.‎ ‎“Don’t forget it’s Tuesday,” I called to my eight-year-old daughter as she headed for the boots lying next to the door. “Tennis shoes for P.E.,” I added.‎ My child suddenly stopped and turned to face me, grasping her right arm with her left. “Mama, my arm hurts today. Could you write me a note that says my arm is sore?”‎ ‎“You want me to write a note now? You should have thought of it sooner.”‎ ‎“Sore arm? Let me guess — too much Nintendo Wii (一种电子游戏)?”‎ ‎“You will be fine. Come on, we need to go. The bus is coming.”‎ I thought of those responses.‎ But I didn’t say them.‎ From past experiences, I could see how this situation would play out if I chose sarcasm (讽刺), unfriendliness, and annoyance over understanding, responsiveness, and respect.‎ Choosing unfriendliness in a moment of conflict had once resulted in breaking into pieces my husband’s coffee pot in the kitchen sink.‎ And then came regret.‎ Anger was the reason I lost all control one day when I was unable to locate my car in a sea of vehicles.‎ And then came regret.‎ Despite the years that have passed since those incidents, I can still see my children’s faces, staring at me in horror wondering what had become of me in those moments.‎ I disliked myself in those moments. I wanted to run away and hide. But most of all, I didn’t want to be that changeable person anymore.‎ Facing one of those situations, I knew my response could either make or break the situation. So I took a 3-second pause before opening my mouth.‎ I noticed there were real tears welling in my daughter’s eyes…real tears she didn’t want to fall… real tears she was actually pushing back with her fingers.‎ That 3-second pause was just long enough for me to realize this sadness, this pain, this worry of my child’s was real. And a note to the P.E. teacher was very important to her.‎ I wrote the quick note, and handed it to my child. I never knew I had the power to hand someone a little bit of peace, comfort…‎ ‎“Thank you, Mama,” she said quietly, color coming back to her face.‎ I thought of my child’s sore arm throughout the day. And although I don’t always make the right choice with my words, I knew I had that time.‎ ‎“When I got to P. E., I saw they were doing something I could do, even with a sore arm. So I kept the note in my pocket and played,” my daughter told me later.‎ Thank goodness, things are different now. The goal of each tough situation is to speak in a way I can be heard … to listen in a way that the other person can be heard … and to walk away feeling at peace with the way the situation was handled.‎ I’ve started a new list — a list of thoughtful responses that I’ve offered. This list inspired me to write a hopeful reminder — 3-second pauses have the power to save a morning, spare some pain, and prevent regret from being a lifelong companion. May it bring someone else hope too! ‎ ‎66. Why did the author’s daughter want a note?‎ ‎ A. She wanted to ask for a one-day sick leave. B. She was unable to exercise for a sore arm.‎ ‎ C. She didn’t feel like attending a P.E. lesson. D. She wanted to be informed of the schedule.‎ ‎67. Instead of responding instantly, the author paused for a while, because _________. ‎ ‎ A. she was wondering how the arm was hurt ‎ ‎ B. she doubted if her daughter was telling a lie ‎ C. she was angry for her daughter’s skipping P.E. ‎ ‎ D. she was seeking a better solution to the situation ‎68. How did the children feel when the author lost control of herself?‎ ‎ A. Disappointed and frightened. B. Confused and scared.‎ ‎ C. Painful and regretful. D. Unfriendly and annoyed.‎ ‎69. Why did the author decide to write a note?‎ ‎ A. She wanted to make up for her past overreactions.‎ ‎ B. She didn’t want to make her daughter disappointed.‎ ‎ C. She thought it was proper to do so after consideration.‎ ‎ D. She didn’t want to start a conflict with her daughter.‎ ‎70. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. A powerful motivator — regret. B. Regret never goes away easily.‎ C. A single error can bring a lifelong regret. D. Regret, it’s nice to see you go.‎ 第四部分 单词拼写 （共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）‎ ‎ 请根据中文提示或首字母用单词的正确形式填空。‎ ‎71. We’ve been working hard to overcome __________(偏见) against women in politics. ‎ ‎72.

Adjusting your expectations of other people will greatly reduce unnecessary frustration (挫折) and suffering, in both your life and theirs, and help you refocus on the things that truly matter.‎ You deserve to be happy. You deserve to live a life you are excited about. Don’t let the opinions of others make you forget that. You are not in this world to live up to the expectations of others, nor should you feel that others are here to live up to yours. In fact, the more you approve of your own decisions in life, the less approval you need from everyone else. You have to dare to be yourself, and follow your own intuition (直觉), however frightening or strange that ‎ may feel or prove to be. Don’t compare yourself to others. Don’t get discouraged by their progress or success. Follow your own path and stay true to your own purpose. Success is ultimately (最终) about spending your life happily in your own way.‎ You might feel unwanted and unworthy to one person, but you are priceless to another. Don’t ever forget your worth. Spend time with those who value you. No matter how good you are to people, there will always be one negative person who criticizes you. Smile, ignore them, and carry on. In this crazy world that’s trying to make you like everyone else, the toughest battle you’ll ever have to fight is the battle to be yourself. And as you’re fighting back, not everyone will like you. Sometimes people will call you names because you’re “different.” But that’s perfectly OK. The things that make you different are the things that make YOU, and the right people will love you for it.‎ If there’s a specific behavior someone you care about has that you’re hoping disappears over time, it probably won’t. If you really need them to change something, be honest and put all the cards on the table so this person knows how you feel and what you need them to do. For the most part though, you can’t change people and you shouldn’t try. Either you accept who they are or you choose to live without them. It might sound harsh, but it’s not. When you try to change people, they often remain the same, but when you don’t try to change them — when you support them and allow them the freedom to be as they are — they gradually change in the most beautiful way, because what really changes is the way you see them.  ‎ People rarely behave exactly the way you want them to. Hope for the best, but expect less. And remember, the level of your happiness will be directly proportional (正比) to your thoughts and how you choose to think about things.  ‎ Title: Three Things You Should Stop Expecting from Others Brief introduction Improper expectations often lead to disappointment and suffering, preventing you focusing on 81. ________ things.‎ Three improper expectations ‎● We tend to live up to others’ expectations, and expect others to meet 82. , too.‎ ‎● We expect all the others to like us, but actually no one can 83. ________ everyone else.‎ ‎● We expect the specific behaviors of our beloved to go away gradually, but probably in 84. ________. ‎ ‎85. to avoid improper expectations ‎ ‎● Be yourself and 86.________ to your own purpose instead of comparing yourself to others. ‎ ‎● 87. ________ those who criticize you and fight a battle to be yourself 88. _________ people sometimes think you are “different”.‎ ‎● Be 89. ________ if you want others to change something, or just change your own attitude and learn to accept who they are. ‎ Conclusion Stop expecting too much from others and 90. ________ your happiness on your own thoughts and the way you think about things.‎ 第六部分　书面表达 （满分20分）‎ ‎91. 请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。‎ One day, a mother horse told her son, “My child, will you happily go and carry this bag of wheat to the mill (磨坊) to grind it into flour?” The little horse happily agreed without hesitation, and ran out of the house with a bag of wheat on his back. ‎ After quite a long journey, the little horse came to a river, which blocked his path to the mill. He suddenly got confused. Looking around, he saw a cow. So he asked the cow, “Auntie Cow, can you tell me whether I can cross the river?” The cow answered, “Definitely you can. The water is very shallow.” When the little horse was about to cross the river, a squirrel shouted to him, “Little horse, don’t cross the river. You will drown.” The little horse didn’t know what to do, so he decided to go back to ask his mother. ‎ After he told his mother everything that happened on his way, his mother said, “My child, it’s not enough to only listen to others; you have to give it a try by yourself, and then you’ll know the answer.”‎ With those words, he walked carefully across the river. The water was neither shallow nor deep. It was just fine for him.

Just as a saying goes, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. By frequent practices, our ancestors acquired a great amount of knowledge, transforming our world from a primitive society into a highly-developed one. Similarly, though we don’t know what future may have in store for us in our life or study, there is no sense in worrying about something unpredictable. Instead, we should courageously face up to challenges ourselves and overcome difficulties by trials and errors. ‎ ‎(亲身经历: 注意时态，事例必须符合主题亲身实践的重要性）It reminds of my experience ‎ of learning to skate. I doubted whether I was able to learn to skate because some of my friends said it was very easy while others found it quite difficult. Fortunately, my elder brother encouraged me to give it a try and so I did. Through constant practice I gradually master the skills of skating and eventually learned to skate.‎ ‎（重申亲身实践的重要性）From this experience, I am convinced that we should stick to our belief and keep practicing, regardless of different opinions from others. Only when we experience everything on our own can we discover truth and achieve success.‎ 听力录音材料：‎ Text 1 ‎ M: I want a pet. Should I get a dog or a cat? ‎ W: How about a fish?
