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 ，并在题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Four Underwater Cities You Must Visit
Dwarka - India
Dwarka is located 70 feet under the sea near the inhabited island of Bet Dwarka. It was built sometime between 9000 and 12,000 years ago and those fortunate enough to visit can witness a diverse variety of buildings in addition to a seaport and protective walls made of sandstone. Furthermore, large stone anchors indicate that overseas trade took place in Dwarka during the Age of Antiquity all the way through medieval times.
Pavlopetri - Greece
Pavlopetri was founded around 5000 years ago, making it one of the oldest underwater lost cities in the word. Since it was rediscovered in 1967, archaeologists and tourists alike have been fascinated by the well-preserved handicrafts. What makes Pavlopetri stick out is that it has a nearly-complete town plan, including at lest 15 buildings. There is also vide that i was once a major producer of textiles, with some of the equipment still complete!
Antirhodos - Egypt
This ancient underwater island was rediscovered in 1996 near the Alexandria harbor. In addition to being the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Ancient Wonders of the World that had been presumed（推测）lost forever, explorers can find a marble-floored 3rd century BC palace. The best thing is that the island is only a few meters under the water, which makes it easy to explore even for new divers!
Atlit- Yam-Israel
This underwater site was discovered in 1984 off the coast of Atlit near Haifa, and is estimated to have been settled between 6900 and 6300 BC. This location offers the clearest evidence of where humans made the transition（过渡）from hunter-gatherers to settled farmers. Dive insurance is required, So make sure you are covered when you plan your trip.
1. In which place can visitors admire handicrafts
A. Dwarka. B. Pavlopetri. C. Antithodos. D. Atlit - Yam.
2. What can we learn about Antirhodos
A. It has various ancient buildings. B. It has a completely preserved town.
C. It is easily accessible（可到达）to divers. D. It is where ancient hunters gathered.
3. What do visitors need to do before visiting Atlit - Yam
A. Take a map and a compass. B. Book the trip online.
C. Learn about the history of farming. D. Buy dive insurance.
B
How often do you get uncomfortable A couple of years ago I bought a shirt as part of an adoption fundraiser. The front of the shirt said, "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." That phrase has really resonated（产生共鸣） with me and has increasingly pushed me in many areas of my life so much that I really want 2018 to be a year when I challenge my comfort zone like never before.
I believe the best things in life come from stretching（延伸，伸展）ourselves and getting uncomfortable.
Take health and fitness, for example. It is so deliciously tempting（诱人的）to sit on the sofa and watch a favorite Netflix series with a favorite sweet or salty snack in hand. That is comfortable, and physically unhealthy when done repeatedly. A good heart-pounding, sweaty workout is uncomfortable in the moment, and physically and emotionally strengthening when done repeatedly.
Here's another example. My wife and I adopted a boy with Down syndrome in April 2016 to add to our family of three sons. It was a decision that we cautiously made and with some level of fear and wonder as to what would happen. While we are still very early in this lifetime journey with him and while the past nearly two years have been more challenging and harder than we certainly imagined, I have personally never felt so much peace, joy and energy. In the many sacrifices（牺牲）required to raise our wonderful son, I believe I have found so much more that would have otherwise been impossible.
My goal is to stretch my comfort zone in all that I do as a husband, father, family member, and employee. We only live once and it will be done before we know it. I want to make as much difference as I can in the time that 1 have here before it all ends. And I really believe that begins with pushing past my comfort zone.
Perhaps you should challenge yourself to get uncomfortable and see where the adventure takes you.
4. What inspired the author to challenge his comfort zone
A. Being an adoption fundraiser. B. Some words on a shirt.
C. Being physically unhealthy. D. The coming of 2018.
5. The author holds the view that his adopted son ______.
A. makes him happy and energetic B. seldom brings trouble to his family
C. sets a good example to his other sons D. hardly affects his lifetime journey
6. What does the author probably advise readers to do
A. Treasure your comfortable zone. B. Relax yourself by watching TV.
C. Solve problems by yourself. D. Risk living an uncomfortable life.
7. How does the author mainly develop the text
A. By setting down general rules. B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving examples. D. By presenting research findings.
C
With around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pajama’s(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.
All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep.
This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” ------ the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls, this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.
8. What does the author stress in Paragraph 1
A. Many students are absent from class.
B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.
C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.
D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.
9. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2
A. Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.
B. Students don’t sleep well because of alerting systems.
C. One’s body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.
D. Adolescents’ delayed sleep/wake cycle isn’t the preferred pattern.
10.. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”
A. Criticized B. Grouped C. Organized D. Named
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Functions of the body clock. B. The “night owl” phenomenon.
C. Human beings’ sleep behaviour. D. The school schedule of “early birds”.
D
At the end of a long day, it's tempting to dive into your social feeds or Netflix queue the minute you've finished eating. But back before screens took up all our free time, an after-dinner walk was a popular activity.“Italians have been walking after meals for centuries,"says Loretta DiPietro, a professor at the George Washington University,“so it must be good.”
Research backs this up. One study co-authored by DiPietro found that when older adults at risk for type-2 diabetes (糖尿病) walked for 15 minutes after a meal, they had steady blood sugar levels in the hours afterwards. The human digestive system turns food into glucose (葡萄糖). After a meal, glucose floods a person's bloodstream. Insulin (胰岛素) helps pull that glucose into cells. But for people with impaired insulin activity, too much glucose can remain in the blood, which can cause heart disease and other health problems.
What good does walking do “The muscles we use to walk use glucose as energy, drawing it out of circulation and therefore reducing how much is floating around," says Andrew Reynolds, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Otago. Reynolds conducted a study of people with type-2 diabetes and found that just 10 minutes of walking after a meal helped control their blood sugar levels.“We saw the biggest differences with walking after dinner time,” compared to other times of the day, Reynolds says.“The production of insulin in response to a meal tends to decrease later in the day. Getting up and moving around at that time was very effective," he says.
A little post-meal movement may also aid digestion. But more isn't necessarily better when it comes to post-eating exercise.“Exercising muscles pull more of the blood flow their way during activity,and the GI tract (消化道) gets relatively less,”says Sheri Colberg-Ochs, a researcher at Old Dominion University.“That actually slows down the digestion of food in your stomach during the activity. Anything but really intense exercise would probably work equally well."
So make like the Italians and head out for a walk after your next meal. Your TV and the Internet will still be there when you get home.
12.What does the underlined word “impaired” in paragraph 2 mean
A.related. B.monitored. C.damaged. D.expected.
13.What might be concluded from Reynolds' words
A.The body's ability to manage blood sugar varies in a day.
B. Insulin's function can be activated by exercise.
C. Moving around later in the day helps with sleep.
D.Dieting plays a part in controlling blood sugar levels.
14.What is wrong with really intense exercise according to Colberg-Ochs
A.It damages the GI tract. B.It delays digestion.
C.It causes breathing problems. D.It increases blood sugar levels.
15.What is the text mainly about
A. The health tips of Italians. B.The danger of long-term sitting.
C.The health benefits of post-meal walks. D. The causes of type-2 diabetes.
第三节（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。
In this day and age, digital gadgets (电子设备) have become an important part of our daily lives.16._____. But while gadgets do make people's lives easier, there are things to look out for in using these technologies. One is how gadgets seem to be taking over people's social relationships.
You might have noticed how everyone is engaged in their gadgets during family gatherings or get-togethers with friends. While they are constantly clicking on their portable devices, real conversations are becoming rare. 17.______.
So if you want to spend quality time with each other, you and your friends and family need to sacrifice screen time.
18.______ .When you're hanging out with your friends, make it a policy that all devices should be turned off. Of course, everyone should agree on this beforehand to avoid any misunderstanding. 19.______ .This could also be a house rule when you have dinner with your family or during any other event with relatives.
Another option could be to turn devices on silent mode, just in case someone is expecting an urgent call or important text. It sounds simple, but turning our eyes away from the screen may be more difficult than you think. 20.______. And while we may be able to carry on a conversation while playing a game, this multi-tasking is definitely going to cause a loss to the quality of the time we spend with others.
By removing gadgets in the background, you and your friends can focus on what's really important -- spending time with each other.
A. They're also driving us away from people around us.
B. People can therefore concentrate on what they are doing.
C. Turning off your gadgets is a good first step.
D. Thus, the opportunity to strengthen connections might be disappearing.
E. It seems so natural to reach for your phone or device before doing anything.
F. They are used for a variety of tasks, whether it's ordering food or booking a flight.
G. And everyone must be willing to cooperate or else the purpose would be defeated.

C
With around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pajama’s(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.
All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings.

Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” ------ the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls, this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.
8. What does the author stress in Paragraph 1
A. Many students are absent from class.
B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.

At the end of a long day, it's tempting to dive into your social feeds or Netflix queue the minute you've finished eating. But back before screens took up all our free time, an after-dinner walk was a popular activity.“Italians have been walking after meals for centuries,"says Loretta DiPietro, a professor at the George Washington University,“so it must be good.”
Research backs this up. One study co-authored by DiPietro found that when older adults at risk for type-2 diabetes (糖尿病) walked for 15 minutes after a meal, they had steady blood sugar levels in the hours afterwards. The human digestive system turns food into glucose (葡萄糖). After a meal, glucose floods a person's bloodstream. Insulin (胰岛素) helps pull that glucose into cells. But for people with impaired insulin activity, too much glucose can remain in the blood, which can cause heart disease and other health problems.
What good does walking do “The muscles we use to walk use glucose as energy, drawing it out of circulation and therefore reducing how much is floating around," says Andrew Reynolds, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Otago. Reynolds conducted a study of people with type-2 diabetes and found that just 10 minutes of walking after a meal helped control their blood sugar levels.“We saw the biggest differences with walking after dinner time,” compared to other times of the day, Reynolds says.“The production of insulin in response to a meal tends to decrease later in the day. Getting up and moving around at that time was very effective," he says.
A little post-meal movement may also aid digestion. But more isn't necessarily better when it comes to post-eating exercise.“Exercising muscles pull more of the blood flow their way during activity,and the GI tract (消化道) gets relatively less,”says Sheri Colberg-Ochs, a researcher at Old Dominion University.“That actually slows down the digestion of food in your stomach during the activity. Anything but really intense exercise would probably work equally well."
So make like the Italians and head out for a walk after your next meal. Your TV and the Internet will still be there when you get home.
12.What does the underlined word “impaired” in paragraph 2 mean
A.related. B.monitored. C.damaged. D.expected.
13.What might be concluded from Reynolds' words
A.The body's ability to manage blood sugar varies in a day.
B. Insulin's function can be activated by exercise.
C. Moving around later in the day helps with sleep.
D.Dieting plays a part in controlling blood sugar levels.
14.What is wrong with really intense exercise according to Colberg-Ochs
A.It damages the GI tract. B.It delays digestion.
C.It causes breathing problems. D.It increases blood sugar levels.
15.What is the text mainly about
A. The health tips of Italians. B.The danger of long-term sitting.
C.The health benefits of post-meal walks. D. The causes of type-2 diabetes.

In this day and age, digital gadgets (电子设备) have become an important part of our daily lives.16._____. But while gadgets do make people's lives easier, there are things to look out for in using these technologies. One is how gadgets seem to be taking over people's social relationships.

18.______ .When you're hanging out with your friends, make it a policy that all devices should be turned off. Of course, everyone should agree on this beforehand to avoid any misunderstanding. 19.______ .This could also be a house rule when you have dinner with your family or during any other event with relatives.
Another option could be to turn devices on silent mode, just in case someone is expecting an urgent call or important text. It sounds simple, but turning our eyes away from the screen may be more difficult than you think. 20.______. And while we may be able to carry on a conversation while playing a game, this multi-tasking is definitely going to cause a loss to the quality of the time we spend with others.

作文：
Dear Sir / Madam,
I am Li Hua, a student in Grade 2. I have read the notice that our school radio stations needs two English announcers, so I’m writing to introduce myself.
First of all, I am greatly interested in broadcasting. I have received some professional training in my spare time, hoping that I can work as an announcer in the future. Now I would like to put what I have learned into practice and gain some experience. Besides, I am good at English, especially spoken English. I won first prize in the English Speech Competition last year. So I think I am highly qualified for the job. If I am admitted, I will try my best to serve the students. I sincerely hope that you can give me a chance to work for the school radio station.
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours，
LiHua
Yours,
Li Hua
