There are lots of 42 that we cannot escape in life, and we have to face them 43 and seek solutions. I think you should make some changes to help you 44 this issue.

But having your own car provides freedom and is especially helpful. There are a few best car rental companies in the U. S. for travelers to choose from. ◆ Enterprise One of the car rental industry’s most expensive providers, Enterprise’s daily price averages close to $50. What they do well, however, might help you save money. The company reduces or gets rid of a lot of the sneaky(暗中的)additional costs that most other companies make their money from. It’s super-convenient and there are almost 6,000 locations across the U. S. You can return the car to any location. ◆ Courtesy of National National Car Rental, a sister company of Enterprise, excels when it comes to customer service, taking the No.2 spot in J. D. Powers’ annual report and taking a five-star score for both whole satisfaction and its book process among customers. National’s offerings and programs are aimed especially at business travelers, with companies taking advantage of the company’s business rental program, which lets employees at any sized company get cars at a fair price. ◆ Courtesy of Hertz Although it’s one of the largest car rental companies there--- it has more than 1,600 airport locations in the U. S. alone--- it’s definitely not the cheapest, with an ave rage daily price of $48.50, putting it on a par with Enterprise. We love the range of cars that the company offers: There’s definitely your business-trip standards, as well as high-capacity cars for families and compact economy cars(紧凑的经济型轿车)for those on a budget. ◆ Courtesy of Budget Budget, true to its name, has some of the cheapest car rentals in the industry, with an average rental cost of about $35/day and an extra discount--- up to 35 percent--- if you pay when you book. They also do the Mustang weekend program where you can get a free third day--- although it offers four-door full-size cars only, it’s still an offer that’s attractive to families hitting the road for a quick weekend trip. 51.

During the three years at school, I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position. He was a high-ranking government official and lived happily with his wife. Once there was a bus accident, in which a number of passengers were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital for treatment. James was responsible for the rescue operation. It was a big hospital, but James was shocked to notice how ill-equipped it was. There were no enough life-saving drugs and life-supporting equipment. The injured and their companions had to struggle there. James attempted to help. However, though he emptied his pockets, many of them died that day. That was a turning point in his life. He made a decision to devote his life to helping others, particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions. He began spending much of his income on these people. Since this required a lot of time and energy, he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire, which, in turn, reduced his income considerably. His wife was deeply worried. Most of the time, James was out and paid least attention to home affairs. Meanwhile, as he was spending a lot helping others, she had to struggle even to meet the household expenses. Though she was not opposed to his helping the poor, she urged him not to overlook his own life and home, but it had no effect on him. One day they had a heated argument and in the end she left him, never to return. Though he continued with his work, this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and was soon forced to stay indoors. That was when he took his position by the window, spending his time looking outside. A few weeks after my graduation, I returned to school, only to find the buildings gone. I heard that they were torn down. All the people left except James. He refused to go and the next morning, he was found at his usual place by the window, dead. 56. What changed James’ view towards life? A. The difficulties in his career. B. The devotion to the rescue in the bus accident. C. The bad conditions in the hospital. D. The responsibilities in the operation. 57. James chose to retire in order to______. A. take care of the injured passengers B. find a better job to increase his income C. spare more time and energy to help others D. stay away from the difficult official duties 58. James’ wife left because______. A. she was strongly against his deeds B. James paid too little attention to his work C. her work to support their daily life was too tiring D. James failed to keep a balance between charity and home 59. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refers to______. A. his decision to retire B. the departure of his wife C. the argument with his wife D. his devotion to helping others 60.What is possibly the reason why James sat by the window every day? A. He attempted to know the outside life. B. He looked forward to going out. C. He desired to watch the students. D. He expected his wife to return. C Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing. Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting locations to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration, or flight, paths, of almost 1,500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas. The major danger for migratory birds is development in human society. Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. For example, a bird called the bar-tailed godwit migrates from its breeding grounds in the Arctic flying all the way to the southern earth in Australia and New Zealand stopping at Yellow Sea mudflats in China along the way. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “many of these critical sites have been taken up owing to urban, industrial and agricultural expansion.” The problem, according to researchers, is that many of these small birds die along their migration because they don’t have a safe place to eat and rest to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time conserving land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. In addition, many of the sanctuaries(避难所) are not wide enough to cover the paths of migratory birds. One species that doesn’t exist any longer is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says. The researchers say if one country might have preserved safe zones for migratory birds while a neighboring country might not, a bird might die. One scientist who is not involved in the report says that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds. He says small changes--- like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of areas birds would be likely to use--- could make a big difference. 61. Why is development in human society considered as the major danger for migratory birds? A. Construction activities occupy birds’ paths. B. Serious industrial pollution damages birds’ habitats. C. Hunting activities happen more frequently. D. Airplane flights directly harm birds’ safety. 62. What’s the current situation of protecting migratory birds? A. Countries in East Asia don’t want to make any changes. B. The progress still remains at the primary stage. C. Some of the efforts of humans aren’t working well. D. Not many countries are involved in the activities. 63. According to the researchers, __________. A. governments need to work together and provide safe areas B. safe zones in neighboring countries need to be combined together C. more bird species will die out if they continue migrating through countries D. human activities should give way to the birds when the migrating season comes 64. What can we know about the migratory birds according to the passage? A. They always travel from the north to the south. B. They need to stop during the migration to correct directions. C. All of them are endangered because of lacking protection. D. Some of them take rests or feed in cities. 65. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The migration of birds influences society development. B. Migratory birds are dying from losing their homes. C. Countries need to work together to protect migratory birds. D. Protecting migratory birds is very necessary. D When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was to spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to people’s homes. Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. It’s one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage (成人仪式). It’s a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV（简历). Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their own money. Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers’ organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment, but despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years. So does this mean that British teenagers are now afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school and they are under some pressure now to study hard and get good exam result and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest. Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because I’m earning money and it helps me socialize with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up for a Saturday morning. Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?[来源:学科网 ZXXK] 66. What conclusion can we draw from Para2? A. Children over 13 in the UK must take up part-time jobs.[来源:学+科+网] B. Taking up part-time jobs is good for students in many ways. C. Students taking up part-time jobs are more independent. D. Taking up part-time jobs can help students save money. 67. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “deleterious”? A. Threatening. B. Important. C. Beneficial. D. Harmful. 68. Why don’t some British schoolchildren take up part-time jobs according to some experts?[来源:学科网 ZXXK] A. Because they are not ready to go out to work. B. Because they cannot endure hardships. C. Because they want to study hard and get good academic performance. D. Because they lack confidence and skills needed to work. 69. Which of the following will Geoff Barton agree with? A. Students should put all their energies into their studies. B. It is good for students to do part-time jobs as long as they are proper. C. Students with good grades and no study pressure can do part-time jobs. D. The more part-time jobs they do, the more beneficial it is for students. 70. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Should schoolchildren have part-time jobs? B. What kind of part-time job should schoolchildren do? C. What benefits can part-time jobs bring to schoolchildren? D. Why do British schoolchildren show less interest in part-time jobs? 第 II 卷（非选择题 共 35 分） 第四部分：写作（共两节；满分 35 分） 第一节: 阅读表达（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） A few weeks ago, I came back from work and found my young daughter waiting for me in the hallway. She greeted me and laughed. As I put my bike into the house, she asked me to say the word---butterfly. So I did. “Butterfly,” I said. “Daddy,” she said, trying to prevent a laugh. “It’s pronounced butterfly, not bu-uh-fly.” It was then that I realized she asked me to pronounce the word on purpose. She was clear that the way I pronounced such words was different from hers. She ran off laughing aloud, almost as if she couldn’t believe her luck that I had fallen into her trap. This is her new trick. If I pronounce something in a way she is not familiar with, she will make her feelings known. All of this is due to my London accent. And it is fairly obvious. Her trick first started when she asked how old I was. I told her, “I’m 37 years old.” She said, “Thur-eee? Not thur-eee. Thir-tee.” She shook her head at me in disappointment for I couldn’t get my basic pronunciation right. My daughter’s obsession with my dropped “t”s is becoming wearing. I find myself paying attention to everything I say. And by everything, I mean e-ver-y-thing, not every-fing. I tried to explain the concept of accents to her. Because she is growing up in Bristol, she starts to develop some strange West Country accent, like her pronunciation of the number two. It sounds like that it has an extra “w” on the end. She sometimes also adds a doing word to the end of her sentences, like “I’m going to the park, I am.” Or “Your pronunciation is funny, you do.” She refused to accept she had an accent. She told me that she sounded like herself, which was true. But I want to make her aware of the importance of accepting that people say things in different ways and that there’s no correct way to speak. I wanted my daughter to appreciate differences, instead of wanting us all to conform to one voice. 71. What is the author’s daughter’s new trick? (no more than 12 words) 72. Why did the author speak in that way? (no more than 10 words) 73. How does the author react to her daughter’s obsession? (no more than 10 words) 74. How do you understand the underlined part in paragraph 5? (no more than 10 words) 75. What do you learn from the text?

Although it has been a year since I came back to China, I still relive the thirty thrilling and fascinating days once in a while. I owe so much to you. I know without your kindness, my stay back then would have been quite different. It is you who have opened a new world to me and taught me to see the world from different perspectives and to be grateful to people who smooth away my difficulties during that time. Looking back, never had I known a language could be taught and learnt that way, which, up to this day, remains a guide to my English learning and an inspiration for my future development. By the way , I was wondering if I could ask you for a favour. My friend, Wang lei, is going to apply to your school this summer. Would you mind if he contacted you directly and consulted for more details about his application? I hope you can pay a visit to China and come to my home someday when it is convenient for you. Best regards Yours, Li Jin
