The finish line, which was once 100 miles away, was right in front of him. A small, roaring human victory tunnel welcomed Zach Bates as he ran across the finish line.Diagnosed with autism (自闭症) at the age of four, Bates completed the 100-mile ultramarathon (超级马拉松) earlier this year, becoming the youngest finisher in the race’s history, aged 19. Bates was a member of the cross-country team in high school but, after graduating he surprised his family with a new goal—to run a 100-mile race before his 20th birthday.Neither Bates nor his parents had any prior experience in preparing for the task at hand, but Brian, his father, found ways to help, truly making it a family affair. In addition to hiking safe trails, they read books together, organized all his nutrition, and made sure their son had the right equipment—like the watch he wore on long runs so they could track him and make sure he was safe and on course. Rana and Brian even helped with training schedules before finding more experienced ultramarathon runners—such as mentor John Hendrix and coach Nickademus de la Rosa. With Hendrix and de la Rosa’s expertise, the young American prepared by competing in shorter distances and successfully worked his way up to the 100-miler in a short time.Rather than having his autism be a reason to make the goal unreachable, his mom said the challenge has helped him stay focused. “If we listen to our children and allow them to do what they want to do and be a support to them, you’ll be so surprised at where they’ll end up,” Rana says.24．How did Bates probably feel when he ran across the finish line?A．Tired but cheerful. B．Proud and overconfident.C．Painful but peaceful. D．Comfortable and relaxed.25．Why did Bates’ new goal surprise his family?A．Because he was diagnosed with autism.B．Because he was a cross-Country team member.C．Because he graduated from high school just now.D．Because they considered the new goal impractical.26．Which of the following did not contribute to Bates’ success?A．Guidance from experts. B．His perseverance to the goal.C．Support from his family. D．Encouragement of team members.27．What can we learn from the story?A．Save for a rainy day. B．All we have is now.C．Nothing is impossible. D．Fortune favors the bold.CIn shallow coastal waters of the Indian ocean, Dugong, a kind of sea cow, is in trouble. Environmental problems pose such a major threat to its survival that the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) upgraded the species’ extinction risk status(地位)to vulnerable (脆弱的).Much worse, Dugongs are at risk of losing the protection of the Torres Strait Islanders, who have looked after them historically, hunting them for food sustainably and monitoring their numbers. These native people keep their biodiversity, and have deep knowledge about their environment. But these people are also threatened, in part because rising sea levels are making it difficult for them to live there.This situation isn’t unique to Dugongs. A global analysis of 385 culturally important plant and animal species found 68 percent were both biologically vulnerable and at risk of losing their cultural protection.The findings clearly illustrate that biology shouldn’t be the primary factor in shaping conservation policy,says anthropologist Victoria Reyes-García.When a culture declines,the species that are important to that culture are also threatened.“Lots of conservationists think we need to separate people from nature,” says Reyes-García. “But that strategy misses the caring relationship many cultural groups have with nature.”One way to help shift conservation efforts is to give species a “bio-cultural status,”which would provide a fuller picture of their vulnerability. In the study, the team used a new way to determine a species’ risk of disappearing: the more a cultural group’s language use declines, the more that culture is threatened.The more a culture is threatened, the more culturally vulnerable its important species are. Researchers then combined a species’ cultural and biological vulnerability to arrive at its bio-cultural status. In the Dugong’s case, its bio-cultural status is endangered, meaning it is more at risk than its IUCN categorization suggests.This new approach to conservation involves people that have historically cared for them. It can highlight when communities need support to continue their care. Scientists hope it will bring more efforts that recognize local communities’ rights and encourage their participation-taking advantage of humans’ connection with nature instead of creating more separation.28．What is the relationship between the native people and Dugongs?A．The native people help conserve Dugongs.B．The native people train Dugongs to survive.C．Dugongs ruin the native people’s environment.D．Dugongs force the native people to leave home.29．Which statement will Reyes-García probably agree with?A．The protection policy is used incorrectly.B．Culture is connected to species’ existence.C．Many groups take good care of each other.D．Conservationists prefer nature over people.30．How is the study method different from previous ones?A．It involves more preservation efforts.B．It relies on the IUCN’s classification.C．It highlights the effect of human languages.D．It assesses the biological influence of a species.31．What is the author’s attitude towards the latest approach?A．Conservative.B．Favourable.C．Critical.D．Ambiguous.DHolding the large and heavy “brick” cellphone he’s credited with inventing 50 years ago,Martin Cooper talks about the future.Little did he know when he made the first call on a New York City street from a heavy Motorola prototype(原型)that our world would come to be encapsulated on a sleek glass sheath where we search，connect,like and buy.Cooper says he is an optimist. He believes that advances in mobile technology will continue to transform lives but he is worried about risks smartphones pose to privacy and young people.“My most negative opinion is we don’t have any privacy anymore because everything about us is now recorded someplace and accessible to somebody who has enough intense desire to get it,” the 94-year-old said in an interview in Barcelona at MWC, the Mobile World Congress, the world’s biggest wireless trade show, where he was getting a lifetime award.Cooper sees a dark side to the advances, including the risk to children. One idea, he said, is to have“various Internets intended for different audiences.”Cooper made the first public call from a handheld portable telephone on a Manhattan street on April 3,1973,using a prototype device his team at Motorola had started designing just five months earlier.Cooper used the Dyna-TAC phone to famously call his opponent at Bell Labs, owned by AT&T. It was literally the world’s first brick phone,weighing 2.5 pounds and measuring 11 inches.Cooper spent the best part of the next decade working to bring a commercial version of the device to market.The call helped kick-start the cellphone revolution (革命).Cooper said he’s “not crazy” about the shape of modern smartphones. He thinks they will develop so that they’ll be “distributed on your body,” possibly as sensors“measuring your health at all times.”Batteries, he said, might be replaced by human energy.The body makes energy from food,he argues, so it could possibly also power a phone.Instead of holding the phone in the hand, for example, the device could be placed under the skin.32．What does the underlined part “a sleek glass sheath” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．A smartphone. B．A Motorola prototype.C．A “brick” cellphone. D．An original cellphone.33．What is Cooper’s attitude about the future of the mobile phone?A．Most negative. B．Very subjective.C．Doubtful and Disapproving. D．Optimistic but also concerned.34．What can be inferred about children from paragraph 5?A．They should be provided with a different Internet from adults.B．They should have easy access to various Internets.C．They should be introduced to different audiences.D．They should use various Internets for learning materials.35．According to Cooper, how might smartphones be powered in the future?A．By body sensors. B．By human body.C．By solar energy. D．By advanced batteries.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Separation, money troubles, and transitional (过渡的) adjustments are all stressful events to the members of a family. Learning effective skills is key to solving the disagreements.Schedule a time to talk as a group. When working together, you are more likely to solve family differences.     36     . Then, once tempers are cooled, everyone needs to plan to come together and think out a solution to the problem . Focus on the issue at hand. When disagreements occur, people tend to bring up any and every unresolved issue they have ever faced with the other parties. This blurs the point of the discussion. Try to uncover what is important about the current problem.     37     .Have everyone state what they truly mean. Direct communication is essential to effective conflict resolution.     38     . Such “I” statements allow everyone to express themselves while they show respect for other’s listening.    39     . Let another know you recognize, value, and accept his thoughts, opinions, or beliefs. Of course, your own opinions may differ greatly, but using validation (确认) demonstrates that you see the other as a human, worthy of respect. Validate your family members by saying something like “I’m really glad that you feel comfortable enough to share this with me” or “I appreciate your willingness to work towards a solution”.Decide on a solution together. Once everyone has shared their needs, wants, and concerns, consider all the suggestions that each party has provided and look for a middle ground.     40     . If necessary, develop a contract or written agreement .A．Seek professional advice.B．Show respect for each person’s point of view.C．Raising old misdeeds will not help resolve this issue.D．Conflict in the family can affect everyone’s functioning.E．The first step is calming down and agreeing there is a problem.F．Everyone present should feel good about the proposed solution.G．Each party should use “I” statements to clearly state your needs and concerns.第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。While there isn’t anything unique about an 8-year-old longing for a pet dog, the extremes to which Jenna Bates was willing to go make her unique. “My dad really didn’t want a dog, so I knew I had to do something super    41    to earn one,” she said.

She’d    44    sugar of all types for a year, and her parents would reward her strong    45    with a puppy dog. “Oh, she’ll never    46    it.” Mr. Bates said.

I learned that only a year before,     61     new degree called Modern Languages and their Literatures, which included Chinese among three other languages,     62     (establish) at the University of Granada. I chose to study Chinese though I didn’t know a word of it. The four years were a journey of hope and     63    (disappoint) in equal parts. I wanted to quit several times in the third year,     64     (see) that after two years of hard study it was impossible for me to keep a simple conversation in Chinese. Thinking of all the     65     (invest) time, I determined to finish my degree. After that, I would look for an opportunity to go to China for further study. During my study period, the one that     66     (real) helped me to start speaking Chinese was the Chinese Bridge, a contest     67     which I participated with zero talent and great enthusiasm. The preparation for the contest benefited me a lot and     68     (strength) my desire to improve. Thus, I graduated with honors and applied for a one-year scholarship to study Chinese in China. So in August of 2015 I arrived to Nanjing University,     69     I lived and studied for nine months. A year later, I headed to Yunnan Normal University      70      (pursue) another Master’s Degree in teaching Chinese to foreigners. When I look back to my past study life, I know it was many unknown paths that took me to the right places.第四部分 写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节 短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。修改:在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意:1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。It’s normal to feel angry from time to time in respond to certain situations.
