M：I have been saving my money for five years to start it.You can also get money from a private organization or a loan from a bank.
W：I think I would like to open an ice cream shop.
M：You should！Having a small business of your own is very rewarding!

Held in August in London every year，the Notting Hill Carnival is the largest street festival in Europe.It originated in 1964 as a way for Afro－Caribbean communities to celebrate their own cultures and traditions.It takes place on the August bank holiday weekend in the streets of west London.Most of the residents are immigrants from the Caribbean and Africa.The first carnival was an attempt to show off the steel band musicians who played in Earls Court in London every weekend.When the bands went through the streets of Notting Hill，they drew black residents out on to the streets，reminding them of the Caribbean homes they had left behind.It was attended by less than 1，000 people in 1964，but was a great success.Not having been allowed to hold festivals of their own for a long time，these people could express themselves freely in songs and dances for the first time.Dressing up in colorful costumes，even whitening their faces with flour or wearing white masks，they established a tradition that continues in today’s Notting Hill Carnival.Nowadays，it attracts around one million people annually，making it an important event in British culture.

I’m ashamed to say that, as the years have gone by, I haven’t taken the time to walk around my neighborhood.Sure, I’m out and about all the time but always in the car to my way out of the neighborhood.
The main reason is that I don’t love my neighborhood anymore.I’m referring to the place, not the people.My street used to come to an end in a forest.We would walk the dogs in the forest that always had nice, seasonal flowers and shrubs (灌木) coming up all year round.Now it’s gone and been replaced (取代) by a forest of high－rise buildings.
Pretty down because of some annoying (烦人的) office work these days，I decided I just had to get out and walk today.It started at the building “forest”．I still felt pain in my heart from the sight and I missed those days of walking the dog and taking in the beauty of the trees and shrubs and flowers.
As I continued on, though, I came across this.
Some very artistic children created some lovely, colorful artwork and I couldn’t help but think they must have been trying to make me and everyone else just feel better.It certainly worked on me.Thank you, thoughtful artists!
At one point, I saw a man walking across one of the wider, busier streets.I shouted, “I just wanted to say hi to someone！” He answered, looking very friendly and happy, smiling and waving (挥手)．
As I approached (走近) the last couple of streets of my walk, the winds began to blow.There were dark clouds behind me so I decided to head home.Luckily, the rain didn’t come down until I was resting on the sofa.
I was glad I went out.
【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。文章讲述了由于作者所居住的社区发生了变化，作者很少到周边走动。一次偶然的机会，作者在社区散步，发现了不一样的美。
1．Why did the author seldom walk around his neighborhood?
A．He was a homebody. B．He was too busy with his work.
C．He didn’t like the environment. D．He didn’t get along with the people.
答案　C　细节理解题。由第二段中的The main reason is that...not the people可知，作者很少去家周边走动的主要原因是他不喜欢周围的环境。
2．How did the author feel at the start of his walk?
A．Sad. B．Angry.
C．Lonely. D．Surprised.
答案　A　推理判断题。由第三段中的It started at the...shrubs and flowers可知，作者从高楼林立的区域开始散步，这个景象依然让作者很痛心，他怀念在这个地方还是森林时散步的日子。
3．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Creating artwork. B．What the children did.
C．Meeting famous artists. D．How to cheer people up.
答案　B　代词指代题。画线词指代上文提到的孩子们所做的事情，孩子们创作了可爱的艺术作品，这让作者的心情好了起来。
4．What happened during the author’s walk?
A．He came across an old friend. B．He was caught in the rain suddenly.
C．He received children’s artwork as a gift. D．He made a neighborly connection with a stranger.
答案　D　细节理解题。由倒数第三段可知，作者与陌生人打招呼，得到了对方的热情回应。
C
Unluckily, there are some rules that teenagers should be allowed to learn in school, but not. They are important to teenagers, although not all of them have to do with their subjects.
Rule 1: Life is not fair. Try to learn to get used to it. Many people won't understand the real meaning of this rule until they've failed to find fairness again and again.
Rule 2: The real world won't care about you as much as your school does. It will expect you to learn to understand the real world after you leave school. Then you'll be sure of what to do with real world.
Rule 3: If you think your teacher is terrible, wait until you get a boss. Your boss won't ask how you feel about your work and will never give you more care or help. He'll only care about how much money you can help him earn.
Rule 4: TV is not real life. Your life is not a sitcom (情景喜剧). Your problems won't be solved in 30 or 45 minutes. In real life, people usually have to leave the coffee stores to look for jobs.
Rule 5: Smoking does not make you look cool. Instead, it makes you look moronic (低能的). At the same time, purple hair and pierced body parts make you look like a silly kid. A grown­up teenager should know how to be smart.
【语篇解读】　本文一篇说明文。文章向我们介绍了五条青少年在离开学校，步入现实世界后会学到的规则。
1．How will the real world treat teenagers when they leave school?
A．It'll care about them as their schools do. B．It'll tell them what it's really like.
C．It'll give them more help and chances. D．It'll explain to them how to be smart.
B　细节理解题。根据第三段内容“The real world won't care about you as much as your school does. It will expect you to learn to understand the real world after you leave school.”可知，当青少年离开学校后，现实世界会告诉他们它到底是什么样子的。故选B项。
2．What does the underlined word “earn” mean in Chinese?
A．挣钱 B．拯救
C．花费 D．浪费
A　词义猜测题。画线词所在句意为：他只关心你能帮他________多少钱。根据上文可知，画线词所在句中的“He”指代的是上文中的“Your boss”，结合上文内容和生活常识可知，你的老板不会给你更多的关心和帮助，他只关心你帮他挣了多少钱。由此可推断出“earn”意为“挣钱”。故选A项。
3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．These rules can be learned at school by teenagers.
B．For teenagers, life is like a sitcom and it's always full of joy and surprises.
C．Smoking should not be allowed when you are a teenager at school.
D．Teenagers will meet fair bosses when they go to work.
C　细节理解题。根据最后一段关键句“Smoking does not make you look cool. Instead, it makes you look moronic (低能的)．”和“A grown­up teenager should know how to be smart.”可知，抽烟对青少年来说是不好的行为，当你是一个十几岁的在校学生时，不应该抽烟。故选C项。
4．What can we infer from the passage?
A．The writer might be a teacher who has much experience.
B．No teenagers can really understand the real world.
C．Almost all teenagers won't be able to get used to the future life.
D．There is much more for teenagers to learn when they leave school.
D　推理判断题。根据第一段内容“Unluckily, there are some rules that teenagers should be allowed to learn in school, but not. They are important to teenagers, although not all of them have to do with their subjects.”可知，有些规定应该允许青少年在校学习，它们对青少年很重要，尽管不是所有的都和他们学习的科目有关，但不幸的是，在校期间这些规定并没有被学习。接下来文章列举了五点青少年应该学习的规则，这些规则都是青少年离开学校后会学到的。由此可推断出，青少年离开学校后还有很多东西要学。故选D项。
D
Have you ever wondered why people drive on a different side of the road? It might seem bizarre that U．K.drivers stay on the left，but they’re not the only ones.Around 35 percent of the world population do the same，including people in Ireland，Japan，and some Caribbean islands.
Originally，almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road.However, their way of transport was quite different from today：Think about four legs instead of four wheels.For Medieval swordsmen on horseback，it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies.Getting on or off was also easier from the left side of the horse，and safer done by the side of the road than in the center.
So why did people stop traveling on the left? Things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons(货车) pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transport farm products in France and the United States.The wagon driver sat behind the left horse，with his right arm free to use his whip to keep the horses moving.Since he was sitting on the left position，he wanted other wagons to pass on his left，so he kept to the right side of the road.
The British Government refused to give up their left－hand driving ways，and in 1773 introduced the General Highways Act，which encouraged driving on the left.This was later made law thanks to The Highway Act of 1835.
When Henry Ford showed his Model T in 1908，the driver’s seat was on the left，meaning that cars would have to drive on the right hand side of the road to allow front and back passengers to exit the car onto the roadside.However，British drivers remain on the left，and this is highly unlikely to change.
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章内容从英国人靠左行驶开始说起，讲述了人们在左边或者右边驾驶的原因。
1．What does the underlined word “bizarre” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Funny. B．Strange.
C．Wrong. D．Difficult.
答案　B　词义猜测题。根据下文的．..but they’re not the only ones.Around 35 percent of the world population do the same...可知，画线词所在句的大体意思是：英国司机在左边开车似乎很奇怪，但这样做的大有人在。故选B。
2．Why did people riding the horse travel on the left in history?
A．It was safer to keep on the left.
B．It was easier to carry goods.
C．It was easier for them to fight.
D．It was necessary to control the horse.
答案　C　推理判断题。根据第二段第三、四句可知，靠左骑，他们的右臂离敌人更近，上下马也更容易。故选C。
3．What made drivers of large wagons travel on the right?
A．Their sitting position.
B．The road conditions.
C．The number of horses.
D．The products in the wagons.
答案　A　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，坐在车的左边则希望别的车从左侧经过。故选A。
4．Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A．UK Drivers Still Go on the Left
B．Why People Like Sitting on the Left Side
C．The History of Transportation Means
D．The Reasons for Different Driving Sides
答案　D　标题归纳题。本文从英国人在左边驾驶引入话题，下文对人们在左边或在右边驾驶的原因进行了分析。故选D。
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Plan a Vacation?
A vacation is supposed to be a fun and relaxing break from your everyday life.
1 Be ready to enjoy your time off by planning your travel, accommodations, and activities ahead of time. Giving yourself plenty of time to plan can be a fun way to build up excitement for your vacation.
Decide why you want to travel. 2 Thinking of whether your goal is to relax and unwind, have new adventures, see famous or ancient sights, or provide your children with lifelong memories will determine what kind of destination you should choose.
3 Instead of making this a chore, have it be a fun activity. Over the course of a few days, weeks or other long duration you wish, spend some time talking about each place and why it would make a good destination.
Research destination costs. While you may take more time after choosing a destination to find great deals on travel and hotel arrangements, doing a quick online search of approximate costs to travel to each destination may help you narrow your choices based on your budget.
Choose a destination. 4 If there is disagreement, find a way to compromise.
Choose when to travel. Depending on the season, a destination which is normally too hot or cold for you to consider might have a more enjoyable climate at a different time of the year. 5
A．Consider everyone who will be travelling with you.
B．Discuss possible destinations with your fellow travellers.
C．Ideally, everyone who is travelling will agree on the same place.
D．However, a poorly planned vacation can end up being a major headache.
E．If you know why you want to leave home, choosing a destination will be easier.
F．This might also be reflected in a lower cost, if you decide to travel out of season.
G. Keep in mind expenses to travel, stay and eat while you are developing your estimates.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了怎样计划假期。
1．D　根据上文“A vacation is supposed to be a fun and relaxing break from your everyday life.”和下文“Be ready to enjoy your time off by planning your travel, accommodations, and activities ahead of time.”可知，设空处承上启下，D项(然而，一个计划不周的假期最终会成为一个大问题)符合语境。故选D。
2．E　根据上文“Decide why you want to travel.”可知，设空处对上文进行解释说明旅行的原因，E项符合语境。故选E。
3．B　设空处为段落主题句。根据下文“Over the course of a few days, weeks or other long duration you wish, spend some time talking about each place and why it would make a good destination.可知，本段主要讨论的是和同行的人讨论可能会去的目的地。B项符合语境。故选B。
4．C　本段的主题句为“选择一个目的地”，根据下文内容可知，所填写的句子应该是说明没有分歧的时候。C项符合语境。故选C。
5．F　由本段的主题句“Choose when to travel.”可知，本段讨论的内容和旅行的时间有关，F项符合语境。故选F。
第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15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。
Senior Zach Snow flew to Germany in July of 2017.With __1__ of only staying for a week, his then stationed dad presented him with a __2__ opportunity (机会) to discover the world.
“My dad was staying in Stuttgart, Germany, working for the Army，and __3__ me to stay with him for the school year，” Snow stated.
“I wanted to say no because I wanted to spend my senior year with my friends，” Snow added.“I __4__ staying because my dad kind of forced me to stay.”__5__ for the first little while, Snow decided to __6__ and make the most out of his situation.“I found out, since I was in the heart of Europe，that I would try to __7__ as much as I could.I started off with going to Paris，” stated Snow.
With the __8__ of easily accessible (可使用的) trains throughout the continent, Snow went from country to country.
“I would __9__ the train in Germany and go to places like Amsterdam and Prague，”noted Snow.“Anywhere you could think of, I would be a train away.”
When mentioning his __10__ experience in Europe, Snow recalls his experience in Spain at the Rafael Nadal tennis training center.
“I spent a week there __11__ everything in my game, learning from Rafael Nadal—the best player in the world.I would play tennis all day on some of the __12__ courts (球场) I have ever seen.I even got the __13__ to meet him, which was super cool，”shared Snow.
“Even though I was in Germany, I attended an American high school on the Army base my dad __14__ at.All the classes were taught in English，so it was basically like going to Freedom High School with a lot of __15__ faces，” said the senior, who is now returning stateside.
【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。主要讲述了Zach Snow高中毕业学年前来到父亲服役的地方，在父亲的迫使下留了下来，周游欧洲。最后，在父亲服役的陆军基地上了高中。
1．A.successes B．moments C．expectations D．feelings
答案　C　由该空后的only staying for a week与下文中的My dad...stay with him for the school year和I wanted to spend my senior year with my friends 的对比可知，在德国只待一周是Snow原先的打算。故expectations(预料，预期)符合语境。
2．A.unique B．final C．historical D．fair
答案　A　由下文Snow介绍他游历欧洲各国、在喜欢的网球场训练和在当地一所美国高中上学可知，父亲给他提供的这次探索世界之旅的机会十分难得，对他产生了积极的影响，令他印象深刻。unique(独特的)是对他这次经历的总结。
3．A.chose B．offered C．paid D．allowed
答案　B　由上文中的only staying for a week可知，让Snow在德国待一个学年是父亲的提议，而非Snow自己的意愿，故A、D两项首先排除。C项paid虽具有干扰性，但B项offered与下文中的my dad kind of forced me to stay更能体现这一想法出自父亲。
4．A.gave up B．minded C．ended up D．avoided
答案　C　由下文介绍Snow在欧洲各国游历可知，end up doing sth(以……而告终)符合“我最终还是在德国留了下来”这一结果。
5．A.Frightened B．reddened C．Satisfied D．Saddened
答案　D　Snow是被父亲强迫留下来的，由该空后的状语for the first little while 可知，此处需要填一个能表示他刚留下来时心情的词。sadden有“使难过”之意，此处用其动词－ed形式saddened，更能体现出Snow被父亲强迫留下来时的低落心情。
6．A.try B．return C．join D．organize
答案　A　由下文中的I found out...I would try to ________ as much as I could可知，此处是指Snow决定试着充分利用自己的处境。下文中的try是对该空的原词复现。
7．A.imagine B．consider C．explore D．appear
答案　C　由上文中的________ opportunity to discover the world和下文Snow开始游历欧洲各国可知，此处选explore，与discover之间是同义词复现的关系。
8．A.purpose B．help C．name D．cost
答案　B　由本段中的easily accessible trains和Snow went from country to country可知，欧洲大陆上交通便利的火车是Snow能游历各国的重要原因。with the help of...在……帮助下。

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个把制作宁溪陶艺作为自己事业的大学毕业生——唐天元。虽然创业的道路很艰苦，但他因为自己在此过程中的收获而感到幸福。
1．building　此处是固定短语succeed in doing sth. “成功做某事”，介词in后接doing，故填building。
2．who　分析句子可知，此处是非限制性定语从句的关系词，先行词Tang在从句中充当主语，指人，应用关系代词who，故填who。
3．varieties　variety “种类”是可数名词，根据four判断此处用该词的复数形式，故填varieties。
4．Originally　分析句子可知，此处应用副词作状语修饰后面整个句子，故填Originally。
5．taking　分析句子可知，此处应用非谓语动词和while一起构成时间状语，逻辑主语he和take之间是主动关系，应用现在分词，故填taking。
6．compared　分析句子可知，此处应用非谓语动词作状语，逻辑主语orders和compare之间是被动关系，应用过去分词，故填compared。
7．the　句意：到目前为止，这个28岁的年轻人已经从事制作宁溪陶艺五年了，令他印象最深刻的是他所获得的幸福。根据句意可知，此处特指Tang Tianyuan这个28岁的年轻人，应用定冠词，故填the。
8．has achieved　分析句子可知，此处是定语从句的谓语动词，根据句意和语境判断此处是现在完成时，主语he是第三人称单数，应用has done，故填has achieved。
9．it　句意：他说把事业建立在能够养活自己并获得公众的认可的兴趣上是值得的。根据句意和句子结构可知，此处应填代词it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动名词短语。故填it。
10．recognition　分析句子可知，此处应填名词作为动词gain的宾语，“认可”是抽象名词，不可数，故填recognition。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I was lacking in everything needed to start a new friendship.
My parents moved to the town when they decided to look for new jobs but they didn't realize I was really hurt when I said goodbye to my old friends. It felt awful to be a new student in the school and when my classmates were chatting, what I could do was to be caught up in my thoughts watching the clouds outside the window. I was not good at math or history; nor was I good at drawing or dancing. I was shy and timid. I had a few friends back at my hometown and it seemed that they were the only ones who I could be friends with for my whole life. I felt I had achieved a point of saturation with regard to having friends and I could make no further addition to my friend list. I was ashamed of myself, so I believed I deserved no notice from others until Emily came to my world.
Emily was fearless, outspoken and easy to go. She was everything I was not and I was too shy to come out of my shell. I met Emily in school almost every day and yet I never talked to her. We were in the same class but we were like poles apart. How I wished I could be like her or at least be a friend of hers!
It was another ordinary day.
I wandered to the bus stop in the morning and waited for the school bus. Birds were singing songs with their friends but who could I sing songs with? I got on the bus and went straight to my usual seat, complaining in a low voice about getting up early and going to school like every other day, and about how things were going to be the same all over again. Little did I realize something different would happen that day.
注意：
1．续写的词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
When I got up to get off the bus, my schoolbag was stuck in the armrest. ______




I got noticed by Emily, who brought me courage to start a new friendship！




[参考范文]
When I got up to get off the bus, my schoolbag was stuck in the armrest. I didn't notice it and stood up with all my strength. Unfortunately, my schoolbag was torn apart and all the contents fell on the ground. I knelt down to pick them up. Suddenly, I saw a hand passing me some of the books. I looked up and found it was Emily who was helping me. With her help, I put all the contents back to my schoolbag. I began to talk with her and was surprised to find that we had much in common.
I got noticed by Emily, who brought me courage to start a new friendship! One day when I told her that I admired her and how I wished to be a friend of hers, she said, “We have already been friends.” I felt so happy that I even sang a song. Hearing my song, she thought highly of it and asked me to teach her to sing it. She made me realize how unique I was and at last I came out of my shell.
