Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising. They have been given a new name—phubbers(低头族)．
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie(自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying, “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long­term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere，Beijing Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death，suffered accidents，and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
24．For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para.2?
A．To advertise the cartoon made by students.
B．To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
C．To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D．To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
25．Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?
A．His social skills could be affected.
B．His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C．He might get separated from his friends and family.
D．He will cause the destruction of the world.
26．Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?
A．Supportive.
B．Optimistic.
C．Opposed.
D．Objective.
27．What may the passage talk about next?
A．Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
B．People addicted to phubbing.
C．Definition of phubbers.
D．Consequences of phubbing.
C
It was December 25,1914，only 5 months into World War Ⅰ. German，British，and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socializing with “the enemy” along two­thirds of the Western Front.
German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies.They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football.Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons，and to aim high.
Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socializing movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.
Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce(休战)．On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”，a song about the Christmas Truce，several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response. Thousands of people called in，praising the song，with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.
You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says，“This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans，and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true：the world really can be different.
28．The soldiers began socializing with the enemy because .
A．they couldn’t bear the meaningless killing
B．it was the best way to avoid being killed
C．they feared that they would be caught
D．their enemies were from similar backgrounds
29．How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’ socializing?
A．They sent the soldiers’ loved ones to prison.
B．They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.
C．They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.
D．They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.
30．The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “ ”．
A．satisfied B．shocked
C．amused D．confused
31．The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings .
A．are not trustworthy under stress
B．are naturally aggressive and war­like
C．are basically caring and kind­hearted
D．will always do what is in their own self­interest
D
Do Peru’s potatoes have the right stuff？That’s the question scientists will be asking in Lima next month，when a selection of potatoes will begin undergoing tests to determine whether they are fit to grow on Mars.
NASA，the US space agency, is conducting the pioneering experiment together with Lima’s International Potato Center(CIP)．
They will cultivate(培养) a hundred selected varieties in Mars­like conditions that could eventually pave the way for building a dome on the Red Planet for farming the vegetable. Of the selected candidates, 40 are native to the Andes Mountains, growing in different ecological zones, can stand sudden climate changes and reproduce in rocky areas. The other 60 are improved varieties, able to survive with little water and salt.They are also immune to viruses. Those that pass the tests must meet a final criterion—they must be able not only to grow well on Mars but also reproduce in large quantities. “We’re almost 100 percent certain that many of the selected potatoes will pass the tests，” said Julio Valdivia Silva，a Peruvian NASA astrobiologist(太空生物学家) who is taking part in the ambitious project. The scientists plan to transport 100 kilos of soil to a CIP lab in Lima that will imitate the complex Martian atmosphere—which contains mostly carbon dioxide—and expose it to extreme ultraviolet(紫外线的) radiation. If the varieties selected for next month’s experiment don’t adapt to the desert soil, the researchers will introduce nutrients, which will be provided by radiation.
In future years, NASA plans to build a Mars research center in the Peruvian desert. It would create a perfect copy of the Martian landscape and atmosphere for future research into space farming that could serve manned missions to Mars and other planets in the solar system.
32．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Transport Potatoes to Peru
B．Determine the Varieties of Potatoes in Peru
C．NASA Is to Build a Mars Research Center in Peru
D．NASA Is to Simulate Growing Potatoes on Mars in Peru
33．According to the third paragraph，which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Forty kinds of potatoes can survive with little water and salt.
B．Many types of potatoes to be planted on Mars are developed in Peru.
C．Sixty varieties native to the Andes Mountains can stand sudden climate changes.
D．The final criterion is that all the candidates are immune to viruses on the earth.
34．What if the selected varieties don’t adapt to the desert soil in Peru?
A．Astrobiologists will be sent there to help.
B．Nutrients will be provided to plants by radiation.
C．A Mars research center will be built for further study.
D．100 more kilos of potatoes will be directly sent to Lima.
35．The passage may be in the column of China Daily.
A．Science
B．Sports
C．tourism
D．entertainment
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
When planning for a new job, many people will go through a job interview. 36 Fear of the unknown, fear of public rejection and fear of personal criticism all come together in one meeting. So how should you prepare for a job interview? It’s often a combination of careful research, psychology and an ability to think on your feet.
One way is to do a great deal of research, like finding the requirements of the job, the company’s product lines, the industry’s standard salary for the position, the interviewer, etc. When doing research, don’t forget to learn about whether you have unique qualifications for the position. 37 Thus, prepare your unique aspects which will make you stand out among interviewees ahead of time.
38 Do you express your ideas clearly? Do you actively listen to others ? How you perform in the interview will leave a deep impression on the interviewers.
Some job seekers prepare for a job interview by conducting their own mock（模拟的） interviews. A trusted friend or even a professional job coach can act as an interviewer, asking many of the same questions a real interviewer might ask. In view of your performance, these people may be able to point out your trouble spots. 39
There’re also numerous resources job seekers can use to prepare for a job interview. 40
Many cities also have programs helping first-time workers find jobs. They may offer classes on how to prepare for a job interview or provide job coaches who can conduct mock interviews.
A. You should consider how to be qualified.
B. Self-help books may be available at public libraries.
C. Another way is to work on your outward appearance.
D. It can be one of the most stressful events in a person's life.
E. Then, you can improve yourself by overcoming your weaknesses.
F. Observing how you communicate with others is equally important.
G. An interviewer’s job is to recommend the best qualified applicants.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. All claimed that they were the best. The most important. The most useful. The favorite.
Green said, “Clearly I am the most important .I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die.”
Blue interrupted: “You only think about the earth but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life. The sky gives space and peace. Without my peace, you would all be nothing.”
Yellow chuckled, “You are all so serious. I bring laughter and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun.”
Orange started next. “I am the color of health and strength .I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. When I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you.”
Then Red shouted out, “I am the ruler of all of you. I bring fire into the blood. I am the color of passion and of love. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon.”
Purple rose up to his full height, “I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey.”
Finally, Indigo spoke, “Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water.”
And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder.

Dear Peter,
I’m writing to invite you to the International High School Student Reading Week hosted in our school, which aims to inspire students’ enthusiasm for reading books.

I know you love reading books, especially Chinese literature. Hopefully, this will be a good chance for you to learn more about it.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Para 1:
Suddenly there was a flash of bright lightening, thunder rolling and booming. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The quarrel came to an abrupt stop, panic enveloping these colors. They crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort. Right then, a voice pierced through the midst of the clamor,” You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don’t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another.”
Para 2:
Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands. Together they formed a rainbow across the sky ,driving off the thunder and the rain .The run slowly rose with rays of golden light scattering on the earth. All the colors smiled at each other, brightening the whole world, with hopeful green, peaceful blue, cheerful yellow, energetic orange, passionate red, powerful purple and thoughtful indigo. From then on, whenever a good rain washes the world, a rainbow will appear in the sky ,reminding people the unity can work miracle.
1.W: I was in Mallorca last week.
M: Oh, what were you doing there?
W: My best friend worked there. And I went to visit her. It was a good chance to practice my Spanish.
2. M: Ruth, I've got this terrible cold and I have to see a doctor. I am afraid I can't go to the class. Could you help me hand in my lab report to Dr. Davidson?
W: Sure, no problem. Just take care of yourself and don't worry about the class.
3. M: Marie, if no one takes care of your children while you're away, Jennifer and I will be glad to have them stay with us.
W: That's very kind of you. But they've already left for their Grandma's. You know, Suzy lives close by.
4. M: Hurry up with your food, Sally. They say there's a big storm coming. We'd better get home before that.
W: Okay, I'm done. Let's get back to the car. Could you carry these shopping bags?
M: Oh, sure.
5. M: We deep fried fish three days ago in the kitchen, but the unpleasant smell stays.
W: There is a method you can try. Every time you make coffee, dry the leftover coffee grounds and keep them in small bowls, then place the bowls in the kitchen.
原文】W: Are you a football fan, Gomez?
M: Yes, I go to the stadium whenever there is a good game. And if I can't get a ticket, I watch the game on TV. That way, they're less exciting though.
W: Is the ticket expensive?
M: It depends. It usually costs about 20 to 50 dollars. Last time I paid 25.
W: That's not very expensive. Maybe we can go together sometime.
M: Great. It'll be more fun to watch the game with a friend.
7. 【原文】W: You're out the whole afternoon, Alex? What did you do?
M: I took a walk by myself.
W: You just kept walking and walking for four hours?
M: Actually, it's not so boring. Walking in the woods is a grand adventure. Your feet can take you to the most amazing places.
W: What did you do in the woods?
M: I smelt the flowers, looked at the birds, and yeah, I picked many tree leaves. I will make bookmarks with them. Look!
W: Aren't they beautiful?
M: Then I met Bob at the lake. He was fishing while his kids were having a swim.
W: Did you talk to him?
M: No, I walked on and took a lot of pictures. There's just so much out there to see.
8. 【原文】W: David, how was your holiday?
M: Great, I climbed Mount Fuji. It was really beautiful. Now I can check one more thing off my list.
W: Your list?
M: Yes. When I was 12, I made a list of things I wanted to do some day.
W: That's interesting. How many of the things on your list have you done so far?
M: Almost half. I have pictures. Would you like to see them?
W: Yes, sure.
M: Here I am on top of Mount Fuji. And here I am in a hot air balloon.
W: When did you do that? I've always wanted to go up in a hot air balloon.
M: It was two years ago, in August, in California.
W: What are your plans for the next holiday?
M: I'm thinking of deep-sea diving in Australia. Do you have any other suggestions?
W: You really ought to take a boat down the Amazon. You'll see a lot of interesting animals and beautiful trees. It's one of the best places I've been to.
M: OK. I'll put it on my list.
9. 【原文】W: Hello, Michael.
M: Hi, Sarah.
W: Are you attending the conference tomorrow morning at the Shelton Hotel?
M: Yes. Are you?
W: Yeah, but when I arrived home five minutes ago, I found that my car wouldn't start. And John is in Brighton on business.
M: Do you know what's wrong with the car?
W: I'm not exactly sure. I think there is a problem with the engine. Err…I wonder if you could give me a ride to the hotel tomorrow morning.
M: Sure. When shall I be at your place?
W: Well, what about 8: 00? From my place to Shelton, we have to drive through the quarters, so we'd better leave early to avoid the traffic.
M: OK. No problem. It takes twenty minutes to reach your place. So I'll set off at 7:40. By the way, do you also need me to drive you home tomorrow afternoon?
W: No, John will be back then, and he'll get me home. Thank you, Michael.
M: That's okay. See you tomorrow.
10. 【原文】W: Hello, everyone. Today I'll talk about how to improve your pronunciation. Language researchers say pronunciation and fluency are the biggest barriers, followed by grammar, in effective spoken English. However, most people don't regard pronunciation as a very important part of communication skills. They're more focused on vocabulary. One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations. So it's important to first find out the words you mispronounce. You should listen to experts, by experts, I mean those who are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes. When listening to them, pay attention to words that sound strange, strange because you pronounce the same words differently.

这是一篇说明文。文章为准备面试的人介绍了几种方法。
36．空前一句提到“当计划找一份新工作时，很多人都会经历面试”，此空设于段中，与上文存在指代关系，结合空后“对未知的害怕，对大众拒绝的害怕和对个人批评的害怕都在一个会议上一起到来”，由此可知，面试是让人害怕，有压力的事情，所以D项“在一个人的生活中，它可能是最有压力的事情之一”切题，该项中的It指代上文的job interview。故选D项。
37．空前提到做研究时，不要忘记了解你是否具备与某个职位相关的特殊资质，根据空后“所以，准备你特殊的方面，这会让你在众多面试者中提前脱颖而出”，所以此空与上下文存在因果关系，G项“面试官的工作就是推荐最适合的申请者”解释了为什么要了解自己是否具备与某个职位相关的特殊资质，符合上下文逻辑关系，故选G项。
38．此空设于段首，是本段的主题句，根据本段后面内容express your ideas clearly及actively listen to others可知，本段是讲述沟通的重要性，F项“观察你如何与别人沟通也同样重要”切题，故选F项。
39．此空设于段尾，与上文存在顺承关系。空前一句提到，模拟面试中，他人可能会指出你的缺陷，然后，你就能克服自己的缺点，提升自己。E项中“your weaknesses”与空前“your trouble spots”呼应，故选E项。
40．根据本段首句“有大量供找工作的人可以使用的资源来让他们准备面试”可知，接下来应该具体讲述帮助人们准备面试的资源，B项“在公共图书馆或许能找到自学的书”与空后“很多城市也有帮助第一次找工作的人的项目”并列，都是讲具体的帮助面试的资源。故选B项。
