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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

You probably haven’t given much thought to your sleep position but like your Spotify playlists or the clothes hanging in your closet, the way you spend those seven to nine hours each night can actually reveal a bit about who you are.

The Fetal Position

The fetal position gets its name from the shape of a baby in the womb. The fetal position is the most common position in the world. People who sleep in the fetal position tend towards worry and anxiety. They are often shy and sensitive.

In the fetal position, a sleeper’s body is essentially curled up into a ball as they lie on one side with legs and arms bent. This position is commonly assumed by adult sleepers.

The Starfish Position

When sleeping like a starfish, you lie on your back with arms up near the pillow and legs outstretched. Sleep scientist Idzikowski says starfish sleepers value friendship, and that while they prefer not to be the center of attention, people who sleep in this position are good listeners and quick to help others.

If you have a starfish sleeper as a best friend, you’re in luck. Starfish sleepers are great listeners and a source of comfort to others.

The Log

For those who suffer from back pain, the log position could be helpful for you. While assuming a log position, a sleeper has both their arms and legs extended, so their body is straight like a log. Log sleepers are very trusting, a little naive, but are usually social and easy-going individuals.

Idzikowski claims that preferring a log position suggests that a person is sociable and interacts with others easily. While these are attractive traits, he warns that this openness and willingness to trust could make them gullible.

The Soldier Position

In the soldier position, you lie as straight as a soldier stands. The legs are not bent, and your arms lie straight along the sides of your body.

Soldier sleepers are quiet and reserved. but also hold high standards. Soldier sleepers do not like to make a big deal out of things. They are the strong silent type. Sleeping like a soldier can lead to a had night’s sleep. Try using a pillow to support the natural curve of your back.

21. If you feel anxious, what position of sleeper friend do you need?

A. The Fetal Position        B. The Starfish Position  

C. The Log          D. The Soldier Position

22. Why do you need a pillow to support the natural curve of your back?

A. Because you are quiet and reserved.

B. Because you do not like to make a big deal out of things.

C. Because you lie as straight as a soldier stands.

D. Because you want to have a sound sleep.

23. What do the four kinds of sleep positions mentioned have in common?

A. They are beneficial to our health.

B. They can reveal a bit about our personalities.

C. They are commonly assumed by adult sleepers.

D. They are useful to relieve your back pain.

B

Visitors to the Yangguan Museum in Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province, over the recent May Day holiday had the opportunity to see the first restored Mingguang armor (铠甲) from the Tang Dynasty (618-907). The 1.86-meter-tall suit of armor gave visitors a window through which they could appreciate the wisdom of ancient Chinese artisans and the charm of China’s armor culture.

Wen Chenhua, the artisan who restored the armor that played a significant role on the battlefield more than 1,000 years ago, is one of the biggest fans of ancient armor in China. Following his passion, he has made the restoration of armor his lifelong career.

Since 2008, Wen and his team of over 30 people have produced more than 10,000 armor replicas according to ancient samples, gradually gathering thousands of followers from around the world who have been caught up by the charm of Chinese armor culture.

Armor from the Tang and Song dynasties are Wen’s favorites. He pointed to the Mingguang armor as a specific example. Mingguang means “bright and shiny” and in this case refers specifically to glittering nature of the breastplate of the armor, according to Wen. Due to prohibitions against privately storing suits of armor in ancient times, there are very few complete suits of armor that have been well preserved in China and detailed written records remain scarce.

Although Wen found many mentions of ancient armor in historical records, most records did not discuss what the armor actually looked like. He also used the statues of goddesses in the Mogao Grottoes as references, as the armor on one of these statues still had color. It took Wen and his team several months to restore the Mingguang armor. It is composed of more than 1,300 iron pieces and weighs nearly 25 kilograms in total. They used modem technology to create patterns that were inspired by a traditional forging technique popular in the region during the Tang Dynasty. Wen said that all of these endeavors are aimed at getting as close as possible to historical reality, noting that “no one can see the real Mingguang armor but I will try my best to restore the truth.”

24. What inspired Wen Chenhua to restore the armor?

A. Visitors’ appreciation        B. The charm of China’s culture

C. The wisdom of ancient Chinese artisans    D. His enthusiasm for ancient armor in China

25. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “replicas” in Paragraph 3?

A. Products    B. Displays     C. Copies     D. Sculptures

26. Why was it difficult to restore the Mingguang armor?

A. There were few complete suits and detailed written records left.

B. Suits of armor were stored privately in the past.

C. The color on the armors were completely destroyed.

D. The ancient government banned storing suits of armor privately.

27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Wen used modern technology to create the statues of goddesses.

B. Wen and his team tried to restore the truth of the ancient China’s armor.

C. Wen and his team found enough records to figure out what the armor actually looked like.

D. The Mingguang armor consists of about 1,300 iron pieces and weighs exactly 25 kilograms in total.

Popping food into the microwave for a couple of minutes may seem utterly harmless, and Europe’s stock of these quick-cooking ovens emit as much carbon as nearly 7 million cars, a new study has found, and the problem is growing. With costs falling and kitchen appliances becoming “status” users, owners are throwing many microwaves after an average of eight years. This is pushing sales of new microwave which are expected to reach 135 million annually in the EU by the end of the decade.

A study by the University of Manchester worked out the emissions of carbon dioxide — the main greenhouse gas responsible for climate change — at every stage of microwaves, from manufacture to waste disposal. “It is electricity consumption by microwaves that has the biggest impact on the environment.” say the authors, who also calculate that the emissions from using 19 microwaves over a year are the same as those from using a car. According to the same study, efforts to reduce consumption should focus on improving consumer awareness and behaviour. For example, consumers should use appliances in a more efficient way by adjusting the time of cooking to the type of food.”

However, David Reay, professor of carbon management argues that, although microwaves use a great deal of energy, their emissions are minor compared to those from cars. In the UK alone, there are around 30 million cars. These cars emit more than all the microwaves in the EU. Backing this up, recent data show that passenger cars in the UK emitted 69 million tons of CO2 in 2015. This is 10 times the amount this new microwave oven study estimates for annual emissions for all the microwave ovens in the whole of the EU. Further, the energy used by microwaves is lower than any other form of cooking. Among common kitchen appliances used for cooking, microwaves are the most energy efficient, followed by a stove and finally a standard oven. Thus, rising microwave sales could be seen as a positive thing.

28. What is the finding of the new study?

A. Quick-cooking microwave ovens have become more popular.

B. CO2 emissions are considered to be a major threat to the environment.

C. The frequent use of microwaves may do harm to our health.

D The use of microwaves emits more CO2 than people think.

29. Why are the sales of microwaves expected to rise?

A. They are getting much easier to operate.

B. They have a shorter life cycle than other appliances.

C. They are becoming more affordable.

D. They take less time to cook than other appliances.

30. What recommendation Hoes the study by the University of Manchester make?

A. Eating less to cut energy consumption.    B. Using microwave ovens less frequently.

C. Improving microwave users’ habits.     D. Cooking food of different varieties.

31. What does Professor David Reay think of the use of microwaves?

A. It rarely plays a negative role in the environmental protection.

B. It makes everyday cooking much more convenient.

C. It will become less popular in the coming decades.

B. It consumes more power than conventional cooking.

D

The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping — where you hand over notes and count out change in return — now happens only in the most minor of our retail (零售的) encounters, like buying a bar of chocolate or a bottle of milk, from a corner shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail store — Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance — you don’t go and stand at any kind of cash register. When you decide to pay, the staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa, which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money.

But across society, the abstraction of the Idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But gaming money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a blink of an eye? Doesn’t a wallet — that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness — represent something that matters?

But I’ll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet — the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets — is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smart phone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as a pebble (鹅卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.

32. What does the author intended to show with the example of buying chocolate and milk?

A. Goods like chocolate and milk should be sold only in comer shops.

B. Now people seldom use cash unless making small purchases.

C. People won’t bother to buy daily groceries with cash.

D. The new generation no longer needs wallet.

33. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?

A. Spending money is so fast and easy.     B. Saving money is no longer necessary.

C. The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading.   D. Earning money is getting more difficult.

34. What can we infer from the passage about the author?

A. He is resistant to social changes.

B. He is against technological progress.

C. He feels unwilling to part with the traditional wallet.

D. He feels insecure in the ever-changing modern world.

35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Wallet: A Thing of the Past      B. Changes in Payment Trends

C. Cash No Longer Useful       D. Age of Wallet Coming to an End

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。

It’s common to see a barista(咖啡师) create coffee art, but it’s a whole different ballgame doing the same thing with tea. Creating tea art in cups, or dian cha in Chinese, enhances the taste of ten.   36   The difference is that it is made of tea rather than milk.

Chinese tea culture started to enjoy popularity during the Tang Dynasty and flourished throughout the Song Dynasty. Different from the method of brewing (酿造) tea during the Tang period, in the Song Dynasty, the popular way of having tea was through dian cha. In the eyes of people of that time, good tea should be white and fine.   37   

The process begins with hot water being poured over fine powdered tea creating a paste. Then more hot water is slowly added as the tea is constantly whisked by hand with a bamboo stick. The action of pouring hot water is called dian, hence the name dian cha.   38   It usually requires whisking the mixture between 180 and 200 times before the water and the tea are fully combined and the foam appears. Then, one can feel free to make artistic designs in the foam with the tea paste.

  39   It takes a year of practice, through trial and error, for one to achieve such proficiency(熟练度).   40   To extend its life, it’s advisable to take a photo.

A. The key is to practice coordination between the wrist and the arm.

B. However, the pattern on tea foam will only last for up to an hour.

C. The patterns created on the tea foam are often poems, calligraphy and paintings.

D. The better the tea, the whiter it should be, and the longer the foam should last.

E. Usually, the whole process has to be completed within 10 minutes.

F. The ideal state is when the tea temperature is around 40ºC , ready to be tasted.

G. It is similar to the form on top of a cup of coffee.

Coming Clean

Derek and Janey were eating in the hall and talking about the jacket of Mr. Such, who was their teacher.

“They’re so crumpled and baggy,” Derek said. “Like a pair of old dish-cloths.”

“He wears them all the time! I really wish he’d get some new ones,” Janey sighed.

At that moment Mr. Such himself came into the hall. Today he was in a brand new suit, which was white and spotless. Everyone in the hall stopped eating and stared at him in amazement.

“Wow!” said Derek, leaning across his plate. “Mr. Such , you look so different today! I like your suit!”

“Thank you, Derek. It’s for Parents’ meeting.” said Mr. Such, a bit red in the face.

“But that’s not till Monday, Mr. Such,” Janey said.

“I know that, Janey. I’m just getting used to it.”

The last lesson of the day was art. In case his new jacket got dirty, before his teaching, Mr. Such took it off and hang it on the cupboard door. However, probably because he hadn’t got used to the new jacket, he forgot to take it back with him. All the students left except Derek and Janey, who were still busy with their painting. Derek mixed up too much green paints and got his hand very dirty. He reached behind him and rubbed his hands con the towel on the cupboard door. Except that it wasn’t the towel.

“Oh,” he said quietly. “What have I done!” Turing around, he found he had wiped his hands on Mr. Such’s new jacket! Janey wanted to help, so she quickly grabbed some paper and rubbed at the green marks. “Oh no!” Derek cried in agony, “You’re making them worse. They’re twice as big now.”

Janey felt sorry and thought hard, and finally she came up with an idea. “He was still in the office, so we still have time. There’s only one thing for it now,” she said with determination and pointed to the sink outside the classroom. Desperate as Derek was, It took some soaps and fetched the jacket secretly to the sink with Janey.

写作一:

Good morning, everyone! Today, I’m so honored to be here and deliver the speech titled “The Fruit of Labor Is Sweetest.”

It’s well known that Chinese people attach great importance to labour, for it not only creates a better environment for us to live in but also advocates the spirit of diligence. As for me, there are various kinds of labour tasks to do, such as helping clean the house , washing dishes after dinner and sweeping floor. Besides, I also work as a volunteer for the school library, where I help to clean the shelves and sort the books. Doing all these chores helps me learn to be more independent and responsible, thus making me feel a sense of achievement,

All in all, labour can do good to students both mentally and physically, and it’s time for us to experience the pleasure of labour. Let’s take action right now!

Thanks for listening!

写作二:

They darted over to the sink and turned on the tap. The water running, they quickly threw the jacket into the sink. With his heart beating wildly. Derek rubbed the green marks with the soaps , and washed scrubbed them carefully. The water soon formed into a pile of bubbles. After washing away the bubbles and squeezing the water out. they couldn’t wait to turn it over. To their disappointment, the green marks were still there! Derek’s Heart sank.

“Oh dear, the green stuff was still there.” Janey sighed , “I think we have to tell the truth.” Gathering up his courage, Derek headed to the office with Janey, Derek told Mr. Such everything and apologized to him, “I am sorry I ruined your jacket.” However, Mr. Such said gently, “Anyway I really appreciate your courage to admit your mistake.” Surprised, Derek and Janey asked anxiously. “But what about the Parents meeting?” Mr. Such put on his old jacket and replied.” This one just suits me better.” With laughter lingering in the office, they all felt a warm current welling up in their hearts.
