That surprising discovery is (29)______ scientists and policymakers to readjust their approach to preserving the ocean’s natural order — and heightening tensions with those who fish for a living or as a hobby.A team of scientists, led by Florida State University’s Felicia Coleman, recently found that the red grouper off Florida’s east and west coasts have created entire ocean (30) ______by digging large holes in the sea’s sandy bottom. In the same way beavers (31)______dams, red grouper dig and maintain distinct holes whose rocky surfaces provide a place for coral, sponges and other marine life to gather.This new understanding is changing the way federal and state authorities manage ocean habitats and is creating a completely new crack with fishermen. “The people who are in control want to (32)______ fishing as much as possible,” said Bob Jones, executive director of the Southeastern Fisheries Association. He added that the recent discoveries about red grouper amount to an “excuse they can use to restrict fishing, (33)______or recreational.”But to many researchers, fishery officials and even some fishermen, the fact that fish act as environmental engineers provides a compelling reason to protect them from exploitation.“If you (34) ______ that fish, it puts into motion a whole chain of events,” said Don deMaria, who used to fish for red grouper near Key Largo, Fla., but no longer does. “There’s a whole lot of other animals that are (35) ______. I’m not saying you can’t catch them. But you can’t do it to the extent we’ve been doing for the last 20 years.” III.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. choose theone that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.ALooking back on the first twenty years of my life, I feel grateful to have been so healthy and happy. For my happiness, I am grateful to so many people and lucky events, but what have guided me and supported me in my life are my physical health, healthy finances, and my family’s happiness.Health comes first for me, because without health everything else is meaningless. Imagine starting a career without good health. Imagine starting a family without good health. Imagine achieving anything without good health. Clearly, good health is the first necessary for other part of one’s life.Good health is not enough to be happy. We still need to have money in today’s society. Money obviously pays for basic needs of life — food, housing, clothing — but it is also necessary for other reason like the quality of our education and medical care.Next comes the most important thing in having a happy life — our family. It provides the love, joy and support that everybody needs. I love my family with all my heart. I get pleasure from their pleasure. I suffer when they suffer. My family helped me get through the hard times of entrance exams. They comforted and advised me when I had misunderstanding with my friends. More importantly, they have been there to share in my successes in the past twenty years.In summary, all these are what I need and want in this world. As long as I stay healthy, earn enough money, and share both good times and bad times with my family, I will always be the happiest girl in the world.51. The writer mentions her entrance exams to prove that _______.    A. opportunities go to those with strong beliefs    B. our quality of life can be improved with money    C. nothing can be achieved without a healthy body    D. family provides the support that everybody needs52. What is the main purpose of this passage?    A. To argue about the importance of money.    B. To explain what are the keys to happiness.    C. To discuss ways of dealing with difficulties.    D. To show people’s different attitudes to happiness.53. How is the passage organized? A. Introduction—Explanation—Summary     B. Examples—Argument—Summary    C. Argument—Topic—Conclusion          D. Topic—Examples—ConclusionBEverywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.I see people trapped in a pathological(病态的) relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.54. The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______. A. advantage     B. attraction     C. adaption     D. attempt55. From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.   A. attract people to buy their products     B. provide the latest information   C. improve people’s quality of life       D. deal with cultural diseases56. It can be inferred from this passage that people ______. A. consider too much technology wonderful   B. have realized the harm of high-tech devices    C. can regain freedom without high-tech devices    D. may enjoy life better without overusing technology Section C (8%)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.New technology may also help.So if these microfibers have been found in fish and seafood, are they safe to eat?They can also move around the atmosphere.Students are conducted on how much of the microfibers is released.The source of these microfibers may surprise your clothes.Washing machines keep microfibers from escaping with wash water. Are Your Clothes Causing Pollution?Very small pieces of plastic, called microfibers, are polluting rivers and oceans. (57) _____________ Clothes worn for outdoor activities and exercise are often made of artificial material, which is useful in keeping warm. But they contain very small plastic fibers, which may also be harming the environment when you wash them. When people wash these clothes, very small pieces go down the drain with the wash water.Studies on microfibers in the environmentPollution caused by plastic is not new, but recent studies have shown the effect of microfibers in the environment. Studies show very small microfibers are ending up in our waters, which may come from waste water treatment factories. A 2015 study found them in fish from California.Microfibers, effect on food suppliesBeyond the waterways, the researchers say microfibers may end up in soil and agricultural lands. (58)___________________ This means there is much to be learned about microfibers and the environment. Some studies have shown that microfibers end up inside sea animals, like oysters. (59)________________ Researchers say that the fibers tend not to move into the tissue of the fish, but it needs more study.Steps to save or keep microfibers from the environmentUntil more information becomes known, there are steps to take to reduce the amount of microfibers in the environment. People should use less of the artificial materials. If we already have those in our lives and we’re using them, an important step would be washing them less. (60)________________ A bag is being designed in which to wash these clothes. It traps themicrofibers in the bag and it may be available for purchase soon. IV．Verbs (10%)1．Nowadays, cycling along with jogging and swimming, _______(regard)as one of the best all­round forms of exercise.2．While online shopping _________(change) our life，not all of its effects have been positive.3．Christmas is the most important festival in the western world.It ______ (fall) on December 25.4.Shakespeare’s play Hamlet ______________ (make)into at least ten different films over the past years.5．Nowadays, cell phones have features such as games，music and calendars and more new functions _________ (add) in the future．6．The moment          (come) soon, he thought to himself, waiting nervously. 7．Due to the hard training they________ (do) before，their performances were very impressive.8．Whenever you          (buy) a present, you should think about from the receiver’s point of view..9．More expressways __________ (build) in Sichuan soon to promote the local economy.10．Sooner or later those dishonest people __________ (pay) a price for their acts; on the contrary，when we are honest，we are truly free. V.

Writing (10%)Dear Sir/Madam,I am Li Hua, a student for further study in London this summer vacation. Learning from the notice that your local art museum is recruiting some volunteers for an exhibition of Chinese paintings, I got desperately delighted and thrilled. And I am now writing to apply for this position.I have been longing for a chance to offer service in such a fantastic platform so as to enhance my organization ability as well as communication skills. Being active, enthusiasm and energetic, I am confident to be competent for the voluntary work. Furthermore, my precious experience as a volunteer enables me to be qualified for the position with less training. Most importantly, as a Chinese, I have been exposed to Chinese culture especially Chinese paintings since I was a little child. So I am convinced that I can make a vivid description of the profound meaning behind those masterpieces to the visitors.I do hope that I can meet your requirements. I would be much obliged if you could reply to me at your earliest convenience.Yours,Li Hua.
