阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Lots of people buy books and products from Amazon, an online seller. They order and pay over the Internet and the books are shipped through the mail or a delivery service like FedEx.

One day, people could get their Amazon deliveries from an ―unmanned aerial vehicle‖ — a tiny flying vehicle that looks like a toy helicopter. And instead of waiting days to get the parcel, it could be at the buyer‘s home in half an hour or less. The company is working on a fleet of tiny vehicles they call ―Prime Air‖. The vehicles are also known as ―octocopters‖. On their website, Amazon says, ―one day, Prime Air vehicles will be as normal as seeing mail trucks on the road today.‖

The U.S.‘s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is working on safety regulations for unmanned flying vehicles like the Prime Air copters(飞机). Those regulations will make sure the copters are able to fly safely where they need to go. Once the FAA has put its rules in place, which could be as early as 2015, Amazon will be ready with its fleet of tiny flyers. The process could take as many as five years.

The new delivery service would likely be available only in the United States at first. The copters the company is testing now can handle packages up to five pounds (2.3 kg) and they have a range of 10 miles (16 kilometres).

Other companies are also looking at using unmanned flying vehicles to deliver their products. For instance, Domino‘s Pizza in the UK released a video showing a ―DomiCopter,‖ delivering a pizza. That video may have been a publicity stunt(噱头). In any case, just like Prime Air‘s octocopters, the DomiCopters don‘t have clearance to take off just yet.

B. At a reception. C. In a class.

B. A clothing businessman.

21. For what purpose does Amazon want to use the Prime Air? A. To remind people to order online. B. To check the delivery service. C. To shorten the delivery period. D. To predict the sales volumes.

22. What does Paragraph Four mainly tell us about the new delivery method? A. Its safety. B. Its appearance. C. Its moving speed. D. Its delivery ability.

23. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

A. The delivery service in the world is making great progress. B. The new vehicles would be put into immediate production. C. The designer will promote his new product to other countries. D. The similar delivery vehicles in other places worked out to be well. B

When Luke went to university he thought he would be starting a new journey in life and getting his own place. In the UK, it‘s common to fly the nest at a fairly young age. Many choose a flatshare; others make plans to get on the property ladder.

But the current economic situation forced Luke back to his mum‘s house at the age of 27. And he‘s not alone: a quarter of young adults in the UK now live with their parents. The Office for National Statistics said more than 3.3 million adults between the ages of 20 and 34 were living with their parents in 2013.

Lack of jobs and the high cost of renting accommodation made Luke change his plans. He‘s frustrated: ―There‘s something very difficult about being an adult living in an environment where you‘re still a child,‖ he says. ―It limits me socially; sometimes I feel it limits me professionally.‖

Indeed, many young people have no choice but to stay at ?the hotel of Mum and Dad‘.

Krissy had to return home after a year away and now lives in rather cramped conditions, sharing the family‘s three-bedroom house with her siblings. She says they end up getting on each other‘s nerves when it‘s time to use the bathroom in the morning.

Of course, residing with your parents is not unusual in some countries. Economic conditions, culture, or family traditions mean many young people stay at home until they get married. Even then, it can be too expensive to rent or buy a house and the married couple continue to live at one of their parents‘ homes.

But some parents seem to enjoy having their kids back at home. Janice‘s daughters are part of what‘s being called ?the boomerang generation‘. She says: ―I get to share their lives with them, and I‘ve got to know them all as adults. We have the sort of conversations that good friends do.‖ So for some it‘s a win-win situation — spending time with your families, and saving money.

24. How is the passage developed? A. By listing figures. B. By offering examples. C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons.

25. We can learn from the passage that________. A. All the parents enjoy living with their children B. Living with parents is common in some countries C. The author approves of children‘s living with parents D. Janice belongs to a group called ―the boomerang generation‖ 26. What does the underlined sentence mean in the fifth paragraph? A. They shout at each other angrily. B. They get on very well with each other. C. They finally make each other annoyed. D. They are unwilling to sharing with each other. 27. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To persuade children into living on their own after getting married. B. To show the present situation of young people living with their parents. C. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of living with parents. D. To solve the problems young adults may face after going to university. C

Don‘t we all know a ―Happy Meal‖ when we see one—the famous boxed meal that includes a hamburger, a kid—sized portion of fries, a drink and so on, served with a toy that‘s extremely popular with children who love to collect them?

But collectors of these little toys will soon be in for a surprise. For the book lovers though, there is some good news. McDonalds will replace toys with books. However, each of these books will mainly pass on nutritional messages.

Do you know that McDonalds has been marketing the boxed kid‘s meal since 1979? Happy Meals are extremely popular with kids, especially for its collectible toys, when you consider that over 1.3 billion of these packages are sold each year! These packages have been very controversial. Health supporters believe that drawing kids to these meals with toys is a clever way of promoting unhealthy food choices. They see it as an advertising strategy of ―catching its customers young‖—a move that has paid off very well for the fast food company.

Child development experts say that food habits get formed in children by age six and continue through to their adult life. Fatty and sugary foods such as those served in McDonalds‘ Happy Meals are believed to

play a big role in growing health problems such as obesity and diabetes. Public health care costs have gone up and untold amounts of other health problems. In 2010, the State of California tried to ban toys in Happy Meals. But it was strongly opposed by some as being heavy-handed, and the ban was thrown out by the government.

While some people believe that McDonalds, with its large following of children, can create a powerful message through the books, others believe its actions are contradictory. Anyway, the company is trying to spread the message of nutrition while it is serving food that is anything but healthy. 28. What‘s the aim of the question raised in the first paragraph? A. To give a surprise to the book lovers. B. To persuade the readers to buy boxed meals. C. To make the readers think about the answer. D. To get the readers‘ attention to the passage. 29. Books will be added into Happy Meals to______. A. encourage more kids to read books B. introduce the history of McDonald‘s C. have kids learn more about nutrition D. help young kids learn to read and write 30. In the author‘s opinion, Happy Meals______. A. bring much fun to children

B. do no actual good to children‘s health C. are popular with the young and the old D. teach children a lot about nutrition

31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Are Happy Meals Really Happy? B. The links Between Food and Health C. The Importance of Eating Healthy Food

D. Happy Meal—A New Advertising Method D

Parents who exert too much control over their children could be causing them lifelong psychological damage, according to a study which tracked a group of people born in the 1940s until the present day.

Researchers found that people who reported that parents had intruded on their privacy in childhood or encouraged dependence were more likely to have low scores in surveys of happiness and general wellbeing carried out in their teens, their 30s, their 40s and even their 60s.

The negative impact on wellbeing was comparable in degree to that observed in people who have

lost

a family member, experts from University College London (UCL) said.

In contrast, people who said their parents were more caring, warm and responsive to their needs to be more content well into adulthood.

The findings are the culmination of a survey which has tracked more than 5,000 people since their in 1946. It is well-established that childhood influences can have profound effect on the developing brain, but this is one of the first studies that have attempted to measure their impact over such a long period of time.

Information on parenting styles was only available from the study participants themselves,

who

were birth tended

asked to recall their childhoods when in their 40s, and may therefore suffer from a degree of so-called recall bias – unhappy people may be more likely to depict their parents as controlling.

However, the research said the findings agreed with previous studies which have shown that children who are able to form secure emotional bonds with parents are more likely to have secure happy relationships later in life.

―parents also give us stable base from which to explore the world while warmth and responsiveness has been shown to promote social and emotional development,‖ said Dr. Maid Stafford, of the Medical Research Council‘s(MRC) Lifelong and Ageing unit at UCL.

―By contrast, psychological control can limit a child‘s independence and leave them less able to regulate their own behaviour.‖ Dr Stafford said that the study did not seek to blame parents.

―Parents are vitally important to the mental wellbeing of future generations,‖ she said. ―Policies to

reduce economic and other pressures on parents could help them to foster better

relationships with their children.‖

Previous research has shown a clear link between economic stress in parents and poorer early child

development.

32. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Various parenting styles can count. B. An unfair finding can easily mislead parents.

C. There is a side effect from too much control over children. D. There is a link between parents‘ economy and child development. 33. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Children should say no to parents‘ control. B. Physical control can limit a child‘s independence. C. Parents‘ control over children is completely wrong. D. People of many age ranges are interviewed in the survey.

34. The study, according to Dr Stafford, is intended to______. A. blame parents with control over children B. encourage the children‘s dependence C. point out the necessity of parenting D. build up proper parenting styles

35. The underlined word ―culmination‖ in Paragraph Five probably means______. A. result C. prediction

B. effect

D. warning

Why Do Autumn Leaves Change Color?

We all enjoy the colors of autumn leaves. 36 To answer this questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.

Leaves are nature‘s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and take carbon dioxide from the air. 37 Plants use the sugar as food for energy and as a building block for growing. The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is called photosynthesis(光合作用). Chlorophyll (叶绿素）helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color.

As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. 38

During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest and begin to shut down their food-making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. As the bright green fades away, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. 39 We just can‘t see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.

The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in Autumn. In some trees, like maples, glucose(糖份) is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. 40 The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.

All these things make the beautiful colors we enjoy in Autumn. A. Yellow and orange colors attract many of us in Autumn. B. This is how the trees ―know‖ to begin getting ready for winter.

[:.]C. Have you ever wondered how and why a fall leaf changes color? D. Small amounts of these colors have been in the leaves all along. E. For what reason do people prefer autumn leaves to summer leaves? F. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn make the leaves a red color.

G. Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into a kind of sugar. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）

W: Hi, Mr. Lee, I am a reporter from the New York Times. It will be great if you can tell me some information about chopsticks, such as their origin and the materials they are made from.

M: Good question. Chopsticks originated in China, but they are widely used in many Asian countries.

Chopsticks may be made of any of the following materials: bamboo, wood, gold, silver, ivory, or plastic, and they may be either round or square. Some chopsticks are decorated with colored pictures. Ordinary chopsticks used in Chinese homes are made of wood or bamboo. In ancient times, the rich used jade or gold chopsticks to display their wealth. Many kings and emperors used silver chopsticks to see if their food had been poisoned.

W: OK, thank you. And I‘d like to know why Chinese people use chopsticks. Why not knives and forks, like Americans?

M: Oh, that is a good question. I think Chinese people choose chopsticks, rather than knives and forks, because Chinese people, under the influence of Confucianism, have traditionally considered knives and forks as symbolizing a type of violence. On the other hand, chopsticks reflect gentleness and kindness. And maybe Chinese food simply seems to taste better when eaten with chopsticks.

He keeps words and never breaks his promise, and we all should learn from him. We all trust him a lot. He is really our good friend. Mr Brown has long been our friend. As one of the largest traders in clothes in Australia, Mr Brown has been one of our faithful business partners ever since we entered into business relations in 1998. This time Mr Brown and his party are coming to England to explore new opportunities for business cooperation. We believe that there are many areas in which we can cooperate. Now I advise all of us to drink to the successful visit of our friends. Thank you for your coming, dear Mr Brown. We sincerely hope that you can come here as often as possible. We also hope we can be friends forever. (停15秒)

第二节 书面表达（满分25分） Dear students,

I am glad to be here to share my idea about what you should learn. From my point of view, how to be a man is first required. We had better grow up to learn to be honest and kind. It is highly recommended that we should spend more time in helping and cooperating with others. In that way, we can learn how to get along well with others and know who we are, what we should do and what we‘d better not.

The second required is to study. Learning how to learn and developing the good habit of learning are the two vital parts in the process of study. For instance, we are supposed to preview before class, pay close attention to what our teacher are saying, and review the knowledge we have gained. Only in this way can we form the good habit of learning.

Besides, It is advisable for us to learn how to live independently and how to deal with the difficulties properly in daily life. Learn to wash our clothes, clean rooms, cook, etc.

That‘s what I‘d like to say. What‘s your opinions? Thanks for your attention. 书面表达评分标准 一、评分原则
