And yet we keep changing popular games like these in new ways to keep them fresh.Underwater hockey    This game is played in swimming pools with two teams of six players. Each player wears flippers (蛙鞋) and uses a stick to hit a puck (圆盘). Each team earns points by hitting the puck into its underwater goal. Other team members must be ready to take the puck when a team member goes up for air. That makes underwater hockey a true team sport.CycleballAnother fun game to watch, cycleball is like indoor soccer on wheels but with only two male players for each team. Each player rides a special bike designed for the game. Like soccer, a team must put the ball in a goal. However, there is a catch. The ball can only be touched with the bikes’ wheels or the players’ heads. This game requires a lot of practice to learn the skills needed.Chessboxing    A sport can also be revised by mixing it with another game. In chessboxing, two players compete with each other on the chess board and in the ring. First, their minds are tested in a game of chess. Then they use their strength in a round of boxing. They repeat this for 11 rounds. The winner beats the loser in chess, knocks him out while boxing or gets more boxing points.Bossaball    This exciting sport is part volleyball and part soccer. But unlike both of those sports, players jump up and down throughout the game. That’s because it’s played on an inflatable (可充气的) volleyball court with a trampoline on either side of the net. One player bounce on the trampoline while up to four others stand around it. A team can touch the ball six times before sending it back across the net. Each player may touch the ball once with arms or twice with other body parts.Though these sports may not be common, give them a look or even a try.26. What can we learn about Cycleball according to the text?A. Cycleball has nothing in common with soccer. B. Male or female players cooperate with each other to earn scores. C. The players are not allowed to touch the ball with their hands or feet. D. Cycleball is designed for disabled players as they have to ride special bikes.27. According to the text, at most how many players in all can take part in a Bossaball match?A. 10.    B. 8.   C. 6.    D. 4.28. Which of the four sports is NOT a team game?  A. Underwater hockey. B. Cycleball.   C. Chessboxing. D. Bossaball.BOne morning, my four-year-old daughter and I were getting ready to leave the house when she suddenly yelled “Idiot!” right at me. As I processed the word, I noticed she was upset. Tears streamed down her face as she half whispered and half yelled “you are an IDIOT Mama.” Total silence followed as we looked at each other. We were staring at each other for so long, and I nearly forgot to breathe out, and in again. Idiot. How could my daughter call me an idiot?There are many behaviors that really push parents’ buttons. Disrespectful, rude words tend to top the list. The wrong response to such rude remarks is often a serious warning. But I didn’t offer any serious remarks. I realized that my daughter’s intention wasn’t to disrespect me. She was expressing the disconnection. And punishment doesn’t solve disconnection. It creates more of it. Her choice of word said it all. She was annoyed. She sensed the stress. I needed to hear her. I was being careless. I was the one being rude to her. So, why punish our children when they need guidance? We must know the words we use matter, and become our children’s words too. The words include those we use to handle emotional overload. Idiot is a word I regretfully must admit to using when I’m extremely annoyed. Not at my children, but yes, they have heard me say it. So, instead of punishing my daughter for misbehavior, I chose to focus on her real message: Idiot means that “Mom, you are stressing me out!”. No blame. No punishment for honest feelings. No criticizing her choice of words. Just focus on our relationship. I admitted my ignoring her, and we hugged and kissed each other. I walked into her play school with interest and was ready to see all her current projects.Don’t be afraid to focus on your relationship, to show kindness, and to model forgiveness. Don’t be afraid to look beyond misbehavior, find the true message and trust the power of connection.29. After hearing her daughter’s words, the author _____. A. lost her temper B. gave her a warning C. couldn’t believe it D. had a talk with her30. What does the underlined phrase push parents’ buttons in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Cheer parents up.      B. Make parents annoyed.C. Follow parents’ advice.   D. Distract parents’ attention.31. From the text we can conclude that the mother is _____. A. calm and considerate   B. brave and tolerantC. sensitive but overprotective D. intelligent but bad-tempered32. What’s the purpose of this text?A. To settle conflicts between parents and children.B. To explain why children disrespect their parents. C. To encourage readers to express their true feelings.  D. To suggest a positive response to children’s misbehavior.CFruit farmers in Okayama, Japan, have managed to make peeling (剥皮) a banana optional by developing a special variety with eatable skin. The peel of their “Mongee bananas” isn’t tastier, but it’s much thinner and far less bitter than that of regular bananas, making it 100% eatable. Scientists at D&T Farm in the country’s Okayama Prefecture released the social media-ready news following months of experimenting with a freezing-and-thawing (解冻) method, which keeps the banana tree at extremely cold temperatures followed by a dramatic heat increase. The result is soft and thin skin that hasn’t fully developed. They froze young banana trees to -60 degrees Celsius, planting them again as they began to thaw. This apparently activated an ancient part of their DNA, which not only allows the plant to grow in Japan’s cool climate, but also accelerates its development. While tropical varieties of bananas require two years to grow large enough for consumption, the Mongee banana needs just four months.The first batch (一批) of Mongee bananas hit department store shelves in November of last year, but getting your hand on one of these incredible fruits remains a huge challenge. D&T Farm only produces 10 bananas per week, and they only deliver them to the Fruit Corner of Tenmanya Okayama, a local department store. But even if you happen to find one available, you’d probably be a bit put off by the price – 648 yen ($5.70) per fruit.Banana peel is an excellent ingredient that can contain vitamin B6 and magnesium related to the production of serotonin (血清素). At the same time, it’s rich in substances called “tryptophan”(色氨酸), a raw material of serotonin which stabilizes the mind and has a positive effect on sleep. Research results that ripe fruit peels have a good effect on treating certain diseases have also been published.John Guterman, a botanist, says, “And what about shipping? For most of the fruit’s history, the peel has provided protection, allowing it to travel long distances. A softer, more bruise-prone (容易擦伤的) banana would be a step back from hardy banana varieties that travel thousands of miles.” In this sense, the day we all stop peeling bananas and instead bite straight through their skin may still be a long way away.33. Compared with regular bananas, Mongee bananas _____. A. are far easier to peel     B. have much sweeter fleshC. are much more thin-skinned   D. have a longer growth period34. Why is it hard to buy a Mongee banana now?A. It isn’t affordable at all.   B. It isn’t in mass production.C. It is made for certain people. D. It hasn’t come into the market.35. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. The varied flavors of banana peel. B. How to make banana peel eatable.C. How to make banana peel sweeter.  D. The medical value of banana peel.36. What does John think of the Mongee banana?A. It won’t be widely spread soon for some reasons.B. It should not be widely grown because of climate. C. It has advantage over regular bananas on transportation.D. It proves fruits with skin will be produced on large scales.D“I’ll be there in a few minutes. I’m playing a game with a friend, a guy named Scuzzball,” my 15-year-old son shouted from his room. “Oh, what is Scuzzball’s real name?” I asked. “I have no idea.” He said. “Where is he from?” I continued. He responded, “I think somewhere in Canada. Oh, wait, it doesn’t even matter because Scuzzball just left the game and he has been replaced with a robot.”“Your friend is replaced by artificial intelligence?” “It doesn’t matter, Dad. It happens all the time! The game continues.” My son doesn’t mind playing with a person or a robot, which is typical of gamers these days. I wonder whether the face-to-face experience of friendship that I grew up with will be lost by our children.Aristotle, a great thinker and educator, has pointed out that shallow friendship is easily formed but also easily abandoned because such bonds are fragile. Deep friendship, by contrast, is when you care for your friend for his sake, not for any benefit you can get. This is selfless friendship. You can have only a couple of these friends because they require lots of time and effort. You must make sacrifices for each other.Presence in friendship requires “being with” and “doing for”. Perhaps the most defining feature of deep friendship is “doing for”, as my friend has my back in trouble or brings me soup when I’m sick. Only strong bonds have the power to motivate real sacrifices. But it is unclear why online “friends” would bother to do the hard work of friendship. When I asked my students whether they had people in their lives who would bring them soup when they were sick, they laughed at my Stone Age question and said they’d just order soup online themselves.Digital life fills and absorbs waking life time so that people do not join in example case of friendship, like sports, collective arts, free range childhoods, etc. In this way, digital life produces false friendships.37. How does the author lead in the topic of the text?A. By quoting famous mottoes.        B. By introducing an online game.C. By showing robots’ irreplaceable role. D. By presenting a parent-child conversation.38. What does the author mainly explain in Paragraph 3?A. Impact of selfish friendship.      B. The meaning of deep friendship.C. Selfless sacrifices in friendship.       D. The formation of shallow friendship.39. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Ordering food online for friends is an example of “being with”. B. The students thought highly of the teacher’s question. C. Virtual friends won’t make real sacrifices.    D. Robots will have our back in trouble.40. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Benefits of Digital Life          B. Digitalized FriendshipC. Face-to-face Communication         D. The Sacrifices of Online Friends 第二节 （共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。For making contact and communicating with a person, effective eye contact is essential to our everyday interaction with people, and also to those who want to be effective communicators in public places.   41  . Generally in Western societies and many other cultures, eye contact with a person is expected to be regular but not overly persistent.   42  , causing the person who’s the object of a person’s stare to feel overly studied and uncomfortable. 43   . The New Zealand Medical Journal reported that one reason so many young children fall victim to attacks by pet dogs is their overly-lasting eye contact with pets, which causes them to feel threatened and defensive. Overly lasting eye contact is also a sign of a person’s over-awareness of the messages they are giving. In the case of people who try to lie to someone, they may distort (扭曲) their eye contact so that they’re not avoiding it.   44  . But on the contrary, evasive (逃避的) eye contact is a sign of discomfort. Why do we avoid looking at a person? It may be because we feel ashamed to be looking at them if we’re being dishonest of trying to take them in. Evasive eye contact may also a sign of dishonesty. However, Scotland’s University of Stirling found that, in a question-and-answer study among children, those who maintained eye contact were less likely to come up with the correct answer to a question than those who looked away to consider their response.   45  , otherwise this energy could have been spent on deep thinking. A. This is a widely recognized indicator of lyingB. Constant eye contact is often considered to be rudeC. Eye contact is the act of looking into someone’s eyesD. But there’s something you may not know about eye contactE. Overpowering eye contact can make the other person excitedF. Even between humans and non-humans, lasting eye contact is sometimes unadvisableG. Eye contact, as a socializing device, can take a surprising amount of effort to maintainIII. 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Alia Baker is a librarian in Iraq.

After spending a fortnight on her own without food or real shelter, the tough dog was accidentally spotted by a couple, who, in spite of the cold weather, were hiking the range and came across her.Two weeks earlier, Neesha’s owners had taken her and their dog, a German shepherd named Harley, for some outdoor exercise. Frightened by a deer, both dogs ran away. Harley found his way back to the parking lot the next day, but Neesha did not.The family made a thorough search. They left a laundry basket of unwashed clothing near the spot where they’d last seen Neesha in the hope that she’d head straight towards the familiar smell marker. They even turned to the Internet for help in finding Neesha---but there was still no sign of her.“We posted our experience on social media. Then a weekend later, we were all looking for her. We were starting to give up hope,” the pet’s owner Erina O”shea Goetelen told The Irish Times.Eventually, the family began to accept that Neesha might not be coming home. “We just thought she is 8, and it’s been two weeks. There was no way she could survive.Doctors Ciara Nolan and Jean Francois Bonnet must truly be crazy hikers. They braved the elements on the freezing day when the couple decided to reach one of Wicklow’s peaks. As they neared the top, Nolan was shocked to see a dog shaking in the snow.“She was frightened, freezing cold. She didn’t have enough energy to bark or stand,” Bonnet said in an interview, “We tried to get her to walk, but she couldn’t stand. So we covered her with our spare clothes and gave her some food.”注意：续写词数为150词左右。Para 1     Bonnet lifted Neesha onto his back for the long path down in mountain.              Para 2     Neesha’s owners could hardly believe it when they learned their dog had been found alive.
