It’s in Peru, high in the Andes Mountains, 8, 000 feet above sea level.The village contains 200 buildings. Houses are in groups, and each house has a large courtyard inside its walls. The Incas(印加人) used the areas outside the groups of houses to grow corn and potatoes and to raise animals. The Incas were very good at building strong walls. Visitors to Machu Picchu still cannot fit a knife between the stones of a village home.Machu Picchu seemed to be a healthy, busy village. So why was it lost? That is a mystery, but experts have some ideas. Machu Picchu was hard to reach. Few people outside the village knew about it. Experts think that many residents died of disease. Others fought a war. The survivors left the village.The tourists are good for Peru’s economy, but they are not good for Machu Picchu. The village is old and fragile. Tourists damage the ruins. Thousands of footsteps from visitors wear down the walkways in the village. Salt and oil from people’s hands damage the walls. Air pollution from buses hurts the stones. Tourists do not want to damage the village, but they want to see this beautiful, ancient place.The Peruvian government and conservation groups are trying to solve the problem. A group from the United Nations wants to limit the number of tourists each year. They also want cars and buses to use cleaner fuel.1．What crops did the Incas grow?A．Rice and beans. B．Tomatoes and peas.C．Wheat and peas. D．Potatoes and corn.2．How do we know that Incas were good at building walls?A．The Incas knew how to make good use of the land.B．Visitors still cannot fit a knife between the stones.C．Footsteps wear down the walkways in the village.D．Each house has a large courtyard inside its walls.3．Which word can best replace the underlined word “fragile” in fourth paragraph?A．Beautiful. B．Terrible. C．Clean. D．Weak.4．Which of the following does not damage the ruins?A．Air pollution. B．Feet on the walkways.C．The shape of the land. D．Hands on the walls.BOne night Peter received a call from his social worker asking, “Can you take in an 11-year-old boy just for the weekend?" It was just a few days after he had said goodbye to two brothers he was fostering（收养）, so he told the social worker that his heart was deeply saddened by the loss of the two boys that had just been reunited with their birth parents. Peter thought he didn't have enough energy left to care for another child at the moment. But the worker convinced him.The social worker arrived at his home with the boy at 6 am after driving five hours from another county. There is a huge shortage of foster families in Oklahoma so when a child enters the foster care system, social workers are often forced to place the children outside of the county of origin, often removing the child from the only place he or she has ever known. Add in the fact that older children are much more difficult to place.Peter asked why Anthony, the boy, was in foster care. Then he knew that the boy had been abandoned(抛弃）by his mother when he was 2. He was then placed with a family. But almost ten years later, the family abandoned him at the hospital. Peter was shocked," It's like my life!”The two have been together ever since. And on the 12th of November, Anthony finally got to share Peter's last name officially. However, Peter didn't stop fostering kids. “It's hard to be a single foster dad but it's worth every minute of it. We are about to have another child next month and we are excited.”5．What can we infer about Peter from the first paragraph?A．He is rich.B．He is kind.C．He is busy.D．He is brave.6．Why did the social worker drive a long way to send the boy to Peter?A．Peter asked him to do so.B．He knew Peter liked the boy.C．Peter lived in the boy's birthplace.D．He couldn't find a foster family locally.7．What do Peter's words in Paragraph 3 show?A．He likes his present life.B．He worked at the hospital.C．He wanted to have a family.D．He also had a poor childhood.CEfforts were underway in Bangladesh to deliver food and drinking water to millions of people struggling after a heavy rain led to flooding, which hit a quarter of the country. There are around 3.5 million Bangladeshis at risk of river flooding every year according to a 2015 report by the World Bank.On Wednesday, at least 17 of the country’s 64 districts (地区), mostly in the northern and north-eastern Sylhet, were suffering from the natural disaster. Government officials said at least 36 people had been killed and about 4.5 million people stuck so far. The floods also caused damage to agriculture (农业), electricity, and clean water supply.Sylhet is among the worst affected, with several areas without electricity. “Many people are in great need of food and drinking water,” said Enam Ahmed, 45, living in the worst-hit Sunmaganj district. “There is water everywhere but no drinking water. Flood shelters are filled with people but they are not getting enough food,” he said.The situation in Bangladesh has been worsened by rain water falling down from the surrounding hills of India’s Meghalaya state, which received more than 970 mm (38 inches) of rain on Sunday, according to a government report.“The flood situation in the three Barak valley districts continues to be very serious. Army rescuers have evacuated thousands of trapped people to safe places. 14 rescue teams with more than 70 boats and over 400 men have been pressed into action in the heavily flooded districts,” said a local flood control official. About 5.5 million people have been displaced, about 3.7 million of whom are staying in government-run temporary (临时的) shelters on higher ground.Locals in the flood-affected areas said they had never seen such serious floods before.8．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The role played by government officials.B．The people frapped in the disaster.C．The number of districts in the country.D．The damage caused by the floods.9．What do we know about the flood shelters?A．There is a crying need for food.B．They can provide enough clean water.C．They are too old to hold people.D．There are few villagers staying inside.10．What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Called on. B．Checked out.C．Moved away. D．Sent in.11．What can we infer from the text?A．More rescue efforts are needed.B．The floods hit the whole country.C．The disaster is the biggest ever.D．Rivers nationwide are at risk.DYou get anxious if there’s no Wi­Fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart­phone addiction.For some people, smartphones have set them free from the nine­to­five work. Flexible working has given them more control over their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smartphones have become cruel masters in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.Pittsburgh­based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app — Moment — to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken.“Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”Dr Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”And as the number of connected smartphones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr Christine Grant.12．What’s the first paragraph mainly about?A．The popularity of smartphones.B．The progress of modern technology.C．The signs of “always on” stress.D．The solutions of smartphone addiction.13．Kevin Holesh developed Moment to         .A．research how people use their mobile phonesB．help people control their use of mobile phonesC．make people better use mobile phonesD．increase the fun of using mobile phones14．What’s Dr Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?A．Confused. B．Positive.C．Doubtful. D．Critical.15．According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means         .A．we will become less productiveB．we can make a decision more quicklyC．we will be equipped with more knowledgeD．we can work more effectively  二、七选五Developing a positive attitude through positive thinking is good for both your physical and mental health.

When the noon bell rang, I would race breathlessly home. My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me.One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed (排练) my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (旁白的) part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her words, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine (藤蔓) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass in bunch, as if a painter had touched our landscape with gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions.”My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled.注意：1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好，不计入总词数。Paragraph 1“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, encouraging and comforting me as usual.    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2After the play, I took home the flower.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

They moved and jumped fast and smoothly across every obstacle as if they were flying, which made all the audience applaud heatedly. The skills that they showed left a deep impression on me. In the whole competition, we were excited and energetic.The activity has made me realize that all of us should have strong bodies and we must prepare ourselves well for the coming Winter Olympics. 40．Paragraph 1“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, encouraging and comforting me as usual. “You just haven’t been ready for the stage performance.” Seeing the sadness on my face soften a little, she added, “Why not take the narrator’s part as an opportunity to be familiar with the stage?” Her encouragement calmed me down gradually, and I began to accept the narrator’s part was of vital significance. Soon it was the big day. At first I was still nervous, but then I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me, hoping it would be my lucky charm.Paragraph 2After the play, I took home the flower. Mom carefully gazed at the dandelion, gently pressed it into the dictionary and grinned happily at me. “We were perhaps the only people who would press such a sorry-looking weed.” Though decades have passed, I often recall our walk in the yard. Her smile and her words of wisdom have stayed with me and shaped me into who I am now! And this is perhaps the best gift that I’ve ever received in my life.
