I work as a manager in a trade company and she's working at a law firm. It's all started to come together and we're finally able to make a life for ourselves.

W：Sounds great! I am free this weekend and I'll be there.

Bill Gates, an American inventor, computer programmer and businessman, is reportedly worth nearly $80 billion, making him one of the wealthiest people in the country today. He founded and was head of Microsoft for years.
Gates was born into a rich family in the state of Washington. His father was a lawyer; his mother was a banker. He is famous for being taken as the father of the modern computer. He studied at Harvard University but did not graduate because of his desire to develop new software.
As a 13 year old student, Gates was introduced to computer programming. In 1975, Gates spoke to a company called Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS). He convinced the owner of the company that he had written a program that would work well and make big money. The owner bought into Gates' inventions, and the two men reached an agreement to develop software for the company. Then the Microsoft Company was born.
Gates went on to develop the Windows operating system with then partner IBM. The two companies had differences though, and their partnership ended quickly. Gates worked as CEO until 2000. He remained active with the company for several years before leaving the company in 2008. In 2014, Bill Gates became the technical advisor of the firm.

How Americans Began to Eat Tomatoes
People have strange ideas about food.For example，the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable.It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways.It has rich nutrition and vitamin in it.But in the 18th century，Americans never ate tomatoes.They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty.But they thought the vegetable was poisonous (有毒的)．They called tomatoes “poison apples”．

Africa Water Week — nearly one billion people around the world have no access to drinking water, that lack of clean water association with un proper hygiene (卫生) and shortage of toilets kills 3.3 million a year.And this is a common problem in many parts of the developing world, but its effect is not widely known, according to experts at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
As part of the World Water Day tradition, the center is screening films about international water issues at the Environmental Film Festival in Washington, D．C.The films describe a variety of conflicts over water.
“The challenge in presenting these films，” says Peter Sawyer, project coordinator at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, “is to share with a wider audience the urgent issues surrounding water.” “Our goal for this screening is to just get these issues out there，” he says.“ We don't feel that they attract public attention and we think that they should because they are really important.”
In Dhaka's Challenge, filmmaker Stephen Sapienza explores one of the fastest growing cities in Asia.He says one third of the 15 million people in the Bangladeshi capital live in places where safe water is limited.Each year 400, 000 newcomers join Dhaka's urban poor.City water from Dhaka's Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) comes at a price, available only to land owners.The film records how a non profit group helped change the law to give the same equal water rights to the urban poor.
Diabalok Sing Ha, who is the group's founder, said, “A win win situation actually occurred because Dhaka WASA wanted their incomes and on the other hand, poor people wanted the service and they immediately see the economic advantage of getting Dhaka WASA water supply because that is cheap, so they immediately buy in.”
“My story was just trying to point out that these problems are solvable on some level even if you have to start small and it's possible in the long run to save many lives，” says Sapienza.

C．To attract people to pay attention to the world conflicts.
D．To get people to have a good knowledge of water.

29．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．Ways to get cheap water.

31．What does Sapienza intend to tell us by making the film Dhaka's Challenge
A．The problem of water can possibly be solved.
B．All the people cannot get city water from WASA.
C．A win win situation is expected by every filmmaker.

Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e book as she waits for her salad.What is she reading None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel's “me” time.And like more Americans, she's not alone.
A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America.More than half (53 percent) have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent) have lunch by themselves.Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore，74 percent，according to statistics from the report.
“I prefer to go out and be out.Alone，but together，you know？”Bechtel said，looking up from her book.Bechtel，who works in downtown West Palm Beach，has lunch with co workers sometimes，but like many of us，too often works through lunch at her desk.A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder.She returns to work feeling energized.“Today，I just wanted some time to myself，”she said.
Just two seats over，Andrew Mazoleny，a local videographer，is finishing his lunch at the bar.He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流)．“I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week，” he said.“It's a chance for self reflection, you return to work recharged and with a plan.”
That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone.There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one，but those days are over.Now，we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table.“It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology，” said Laurie Demerit，whose company provided the statistics for the report.

解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，在美国，约有46%的人们独自用餐，53%的人们独自吃早餐，46%的人们独自吃午餐，只有74%的人们晚餐不是独自享用，故可知本段的数据是关于用餐习惯的，故选B。
33．Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch
A．To meet with her co workers.
B．To catch up with her work.
C．To have some time on her own.
D．To collect data for her report.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder ...Today, I just wanted some time to myself.”可知，Bechtel一个人吃午饭可以让她逃离老板的关注，给自己留一些自由时间，故选C。
34．What do we know about Mazoleny
A．He makes videos for the bar.
B．He's fond of the food at the bar.
C．He interviews customers at the bar.
D．He's familiar with the barkeeper.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第四段“He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流)．”可知，Mazoleny喜欢这样的气氛，因为可以坐在那里，查看手机信息，或者想聊天了，可以直呼吧台服务员的名字和他聊天，故可知，他与服务员很熟，可以直呼对方名字，故选D。
35．What is the text mainly about
A．The trend of having meals alone.
B．The importance of self reflection.
C．The stress from working overtime.
D．The advantage of wireless technology.
解析：选A 主旨大意题。本文通过一份调查结果显示，很大比例的人选择独自用餐，原因很多，比如逃离工作氛围，或者反思自己，但是独自用餐正慢慢成为一种趋势，故选A。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，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。
Countless parents have kids who just want to eat chickens pasta, or macaroni and cheese, and definitely without any vegetables.So what's a parent to do？ 36 We reached out to experts on healthy eating for kids, and they had a ton of great advice.
Make food interesting.Lori Day, an educational psychologist, thought that if kids found food interesting, they'd be more likely to try it.So Day let her daughter shell peas, count them, sort them by size and play with them before putting them in the pot. 37 “Make food interesting if your child is naturally curious and is willing, to engage，” Day said.
38 Several parents talked about how bringing their children with them to the farmers market or the grocery store and having them help with the cooking can get them more excited and invested in what they are eating.“Kids can be inspired to eat healthy when they are part of the meal，” said Margaret McSweeney, host of the podcast Kitchen Chat.“A trip to the local farmers market can connect them with the source of food.”
Give kids choices.Ava Parnass, an infant child psychotherapist said that from a young age, parents should let their kids choose foods and snacks they like, within reason.“Give them more room to choose as they get older，”she added.And never get into a power struggle with your kids about eating, she said. 39
Model healthy eating.Our kids can be influenced to make better choices if they watch us doing the same.Pam Moore, founder of the blog Whatevs, says her kids always see her and husband eating healthy.“ 40 I often keep sliced veggies washed，sliced and ready to eat for snacks.Our children will ask for bites as time goes on, as they like to copy what we do，” said Moore.
A．First, don't stress.
B．Get the kids involved.
C．Inspire kids to eat healthy.
D．Her daughter loved eating them raw or cooked.
E．Make sure you are not overcontrolling or overeducating them.
F．Both my husband and I typically add greens to our eggs at breakfast.
G．We talk about food colors and how it's healthiest to make meals with various colors.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了家长如何才能让孩子们吃得健康的几条建议。
36．选A 结合上文“So what's a parent to do？”可知，此处是设问，所以本空应填入能够回答前面提问的答案，同时又结合下文“...they had a ton of great advice”可知，还是有很多有效的建议，故选A项。
37．选D 结合上文“...So Day let her daughter shell peas ...”和下文“Make food interesting if your child ...”可知，把食物做得有声有色，能够吸引住小孩子，那么他们就愿意参与，故与D项较一致。同时该题也可以从her daughter等关键词的匹配选出答案为D项。
38．选B 结合文本结构可知，该空应该填入与上下文Make food interesting；Give kids choices和Model healthy eating一样的祈使句结构，故从B和C项中选，同时根据该段中“...having them help with the cooking can get them more excited and invested in what they are eating ...when they are part of the meal ...”可知，该段主要阐述让孩子们参与进来，由此选B项。
39．选E 结合本段小标题Give kids choices.和上文“...parents should let their kids choose foods ...Give them more room to choose ...”可知，应该给孩子们更多自己的选择，由此推断出，家长不要过度控制或过度教育他们，这与E项中的overcontrolling和overeducating语意较一致，答案选E项。
40．选F 结合小标题Model healthy eating.和下文提到的“...if they watch us doing the same ...says her kids always see her and husband eating healthy ...”可知，该段主要讲述家长要以身作则，孩子就会以家长为榜样，这与选项F中的语意较一致，该空也可以从her and husband 和my husband and I这些关键信息的一致性得出结论，故正确答案为F项。
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。
Everything speeds up with people's lives.People often eat fast food instead of nice meals cooked by their mother 41 ．They go to a restaurant, where the meal is 42 cooked.They can take 43 from the shelf when they 44 their dollar and in ten minutes eat it and 45 their dinner.
This is not good for 46 ．People move a great deal from city to city， 47 their jobs.Airplanes go 48 between cities.Every twenty five seconds planes are taking off from airports.When people move to the cities, they leave their old friends 49 ．They leave their old mother and father, their children, and leave their 50 ．People become without roots, without a place that they can really call “home”．

第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Each year, the women of Olney, England, and Liberal, Kansas, compete in 56 unusual footrace.Dressed in 57 (apron) and headscarves, they wait at both towns' starting lines.Each woman holds a frying pan 58 one pancake inside.At the signal, the women flip their pancakes and they are off.
This “pancake racing” tradition is said to have started on Shrove Tuesday, 1445, in Olney, 59 is the day before the Christian season of Lent (大斋期) begins.During Lent, many people decide to give up sugary or fatty foods.
Legend says that in 1445, an Olney woman 60 (make) pancakes to use up some of her sugar and cooking fats before Lent.She lost track of time and 61 (sudden) heard the church bells ring, signaling the 62 (begin) of the Shrove Tuesday service. 63 (realize) that she was going to be late for church, she 64 (race) out, still wearing her apron and headscarf and holding her frying pan with a pancake in it.
In the following years, the woman's neighbors imitated her dash to church, 65 pancake racing was born.Olney women continue this Shrove Tuesday tradition more than five hundred years later.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了煎饼赛跑节的由来。
56．an 考查冠词。根据空后的形容词unusual可知，该词由元音音素开头，故填an。
57．aprons 考查名词的单复数。根据主语they可知，参赛选手们系着围裙，应用复数形式，故填aprons。
58．with 考查介词。根据语境可知，每个妇女拿着一个煎锅，里面放着一个煎饼，考查了with的复合宾语结构。
59．which 考查定语从句。根据语境可知，此处是定语从句，先行词是Shrove Tuesday，属于分割式定语从句，故填which。
60．was making 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据下文，当时她正在做煎饼，为了在大斋节前用光所有的糖和脂肪，所以用过去进行时。故填was making。
61．suddenly 考查词性转换。用副词修饰动词，故填sudden的副词形式suddenly。
62．beginning 考查词性转换。根据语境可知，教堂的钟声预示着忏悔星期二的开始，故填begin的名词形式beginning。
63．Realizing 考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知，此处是原因状语，故用非谓语动词的主动式Realizing。
64．raced 考查动词的时态。根据上下文语境可知，意识到要迟到了，她冲了出去。所以用一般过去时。
65．and/so 考查连词。分析句子结构可知，空前是逗号，空后引导并列句，两句之间是顺承或者因果关系，故填and/so。

Located halfway up the Italy's Apennine Mountain，about 100 miles northeast of Rome，the Hotel Rigopiano has never been easy to reach.But its isolation (隔绝) only adds to its appeal，attracting a great number of tourists.
Snow began to fall across the Apennines in January and lasted for days.From his home in the Rome suburbs，Matrone watched the weather with concern.He and his wife，Cicioni，had planned an overnight getaway to the hotel.But now he wondered whether they should go.After phoning the hotel，they decided to make the trip.By the time they neared the hotel six hours later，they were battling a snowstorm.When they finally arrived，they were both cold and exhausted.They checked into their room and went to bed early.
As they awoke the next day，they discovered that their difficulty had worsened overnight.The cars in the parking lot were invisible.The phone and power lines were down.They were having breakfast when the hotel began to shake.An earthquake with a magnitude (震级) of 5.7 had struck the mountain.“Get out of here！”Matrone shouted to his wife.They headed quickly to the parking lot，where others were digging their cars.Fifteen minutes after the first earthquake，another quake hit，this one measuring 5.6.
With a dozen vehicles freed by noon，the guests set off down the driveway.But when they reached the main road，the path was blocked by a six foot high wall of snow.Matrone climbed out of his car and investigated it.There was no road in sight，“We're trapped！”he told his wife.So they had no choice but to make their way back to the hotel.
As it was getting dark，they managed to be back.That was when the snow on the mountain began to slide.They heard the avalanche (雪崩) before they saw it.The avalanche gathered speed and size，grabbing rocks and trees and anything else in its way down the mountain，tearing the hotel from its foundation.When the avalanche came to a stop，those caught inside the hotel were left buried in the icy rocks and ruins.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
When Matrone came to himself，he was stuck in the darkness.
It was not until the next morning that the rescuers finally arrived.
参考范文：
When Matrone came to himself，he was stuck in the darkness.Scared and despaired, Matrone felt that the world was coming to an end.He found that something had covered his body, which made him not move himself.He cried out, “Help! Help！” However, he received no response at all.He now sensed totally horrible, meaning that he had to face the desperate scene alone.Realizing that maybe his wife Cicioni might have been killed in the avalanche, Matrone couldn't help bursting into tears.
It was not until the next morning that the rescuers finally arrived.No sooner had they arrived than they got down to digging out the trapped people.To people's sadness, many tourists were dead and some were severely injured.Fortunately, after ten hours' work, the rescuers found Matrone, who had been out of consciousness, still a sign of being alive.With their great efforts, Matrone was saved at last.To his joy, his wife, Cicioni survived the horrible avalanche as well.Thank goodness, the couple were still alive.

How Americans Began to Eat Tomatoes

President Thomas Jefferson，however，knew that tomatoes were good to eat.He was a learned man.He had been to Paris，where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes.He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden.The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup.This beautiful pink soup was served at the President's party.The guests thought the soup tasted really good.They never thought their president would serve his honored (忠实的) guests poison apples.Jefferson never spoke to his honored guests about the fact.

Africa Water Week — nearly one billion people around the world have no access to drinking water, that lack of clean water association with un proper hygiene (卫生) and shortage of toilets kills 3.3 million a year.And this is a common problem in many parts of the developing world, but its effect is not widely known, according to experts at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
As part of the World Water Day tradition, the center is screening films about international water issues at the Environmental Film Festival in Washington, D．C.The films describe a variety of conflicts over water.
“The challenge in presenting these films，” says Peter Sawyer, project coordinator at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, “is to share with a wider audience the urgent issues surrounding water.” “Our goal for this screening is to just get these issues out there，” he says.“ We don't feel that they attract public attention and we think that they should because they are really important.”
In Dhaka's Challenge, filmmaker Stephen Sapienza explores one of the fastest growing cities in Asia.He says one third of the 15 million people in the Bangladeshi capital live in places where safe water is limited.Each year 400, 000 newcomers join Dhaka's urban poor.City water from Dhaka's Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) comes at a price, available only to land owners.The film records how a non profit group helped change the law to give the same equal water rights to the urban poor.
Diabalok Sing Ha, who is the group's founder, said, “A win win situation actually occurred because Dhaka WASA wanted their incomes and on the other hand, poor people wanted the service and they immediately see the economic advantage of getting Dhaka WASA water supply because that is cheap, so they immediately buy in.”
“My story was just trying to point out that these problems are solvable on some level even if you have to start small and it's possible in the long run to save many lives，” says Sapienza.
28．Which of the following is the main purpose of the films
A．To show the number of people lacking clean water.
B．To let more people know the serious water problems.
C．To attract people to pay attention to the world conflicts.
D．To get people to have a good knowledge of water.
29．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．Ways to get cheap water.
B．The film Dhaka's Challenge.
C．Filmmaker Stephen Sapienza.
D．A non profit group.
30．Which of the following does Diabalok Sing Ha agree with
A．Most people can't afford the water supply.
B．Rich people in Dhaka will buy in at once.
C．Poor people in Dhaka need the service of water.
D．Dhaka WASA will see soon the economic advantage.
31．What does Sapienza intend to tell us by making the film Dhaka's Challenge
A．The problem of water can possibly be solved.
B．All the people cannot get city water from WASA.
C．A win win situation is expected by every filmmaker.
D．Dhaka WASA is very popular with the local people.

Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e book as she waits for her salad.What is she reading None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel's “me” time.And like more Americans, she's not alone.
A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America.More than half (53 percent) have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent) have lunch by themselves.Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore，74 percent，according to statistics from the report.
“I prefer to go out and be out.Alone，but together，you know？”Bechtel said，looking up from her book.Bechtel，who works in downtown West Palm Beach，has lunch with co workers sometimes，but like many of us，too often works through lunch at her desk.A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder.She returns to work feeling energized.“Today，I just wanted some time to myself，”she said.
Just two seats over，Andrew Mazoleny，a local videographer，is finishing his lunch at the bar.He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流)．“I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week，” he said.“It's a chance for self reflection, you return to work recharged and with a plan.”
That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone.There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one，but those days are over.Now，we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table.“It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology，” said Laurie Demerit，whose company provided the statistics for the report.
32．What are the statistics in Paragraph 2 about
A．Food variety. B．Eating habits.
C．Table manners. D．Restaurant service.
33．Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch
A．To meet with her co workers.
B．To catch up with her work.
C．To have some time on her own.
D．To collect data for her report.
34．What do we know about Mazoleny
A．He makes videos for the bar.
B．He's fond of the food at the bar.
C．He interviews customers at the bar.
D．He's familiar with the barkeeper.
35．What is the text mainly about
A．The trend of having meals alone.
B．The importance of self reflection.
C．The stress from working overtime.
D．The advantage of wireless technology.

Countless parents have kids who just want to eat chickens pasta, or macaroni and cheese, and definitely without any vegetables.So what's a parent to do？ 36 We reached out to experts on healthy eating for kids, and they had a ton of great advice.
Make food interesting.Lori Day, an educational psychologist, thought that if kids found food interesting, they'd be more likely to try it.So Day let her daughter shell peas, count them, sort them by size and play with them before putting them in the pot. 37 “Make food interesting if your child is naturally curious and is willing, to engage，” Day said.
38 Several parents talked about how bringing their children with them to the farmers market or the grocery store and having them help with the cooking can get them more excited and invested in what they are eating.“Kids can be inspired to eat healthy when they are part of the meal，” said Margaret McSweeney, host of the podcast Kitchen Chat.“A trip to the local farmers market can connect them with the source of food.”
Give kids choices.Ava Parnass, an infant child psychotherapist said that from a young age, parents should let their kids choose foods and snacks they like, within reason.“Give them more room to choose as they get older，”she added.And never get into a power struggle with your kids about eating, she said. 39
Model healthy eating.Our kids can be influenced to make better choices if they watch us doing the same.Pam Moore, founder of the blog Whatevs, says her kids always see her and husband eating healthy.“ 40 I often keep sliced veggies washed，sliced and ready to eat for snacks.Our children will ask for bites as time goes on, as they like to copy what we do，” said Moore.
A．First, don't stress.
B．Get the kids involved.
C．Inspire kids to eat healthy.
D．Her daughter loved eating them raw or cooked.
E．Make sure you are not overcontrolling or overeducating them.
F．Both my husband and I typically add greens to our eggs at breakfast.
G．We talk about food colors and how it's healthiest to make meals with various colors.
