Now 68，the father of six and grandfather of eight goes to school six days a week to complete his studies and escapes a lonely home life following the death of his wife.
Walking into the secondary school and the noise created by 200 children is a welcome contrast(对比)to the silence of the cold one room home.“To forget my sorrows I go to school，” Kami，one of the oldest students in Nepal，said in the classroom where he studies together with 14 and 15 year olds.
His family was so poor that Kami couldn't finish his studies as a child and achieve his goal of becoming a teacher.
The teacher，Koirala，then invited Kami to his school，which provided the grandfather with a school uniform including grey trousers，a blue tie and a white shirt.“This is my first experience teaching a person who is as old as my father's age，”Koirala said.“I feel very excited and happy.”
The 20 children in his Grade 10 class have called Kami “Baa”，which means “father” in Nepal，but despite his age their elderly classmate joins in all activities，including volleyball in the schoolyard.“I used to think ‘Why is this old man coming to school to study with us？’but as time passed I enjoyed his company，” Kami's 14 year old classmate Sagar Thapa said.
Kami said he wanted to study until his death，adding he hoped it would encourage others to get over age obstacles(障碍).“If they see such an old person like me studying in school they might get motivated as well，” he said.

English is not pronounced as it is written：vowels(元音)and consonants(辅音)can often be pronounced in different ways，and there are no accents to help you with stress.For this reason，most students see pronunciation as one of the most difficult things of the language，and they expect their teacher to help them with it.Before a student can pronounce well，they must be able to pronounce each sound more or less correctly.
Incorrect pronunciation is one of the main reasons for breakdown in communication.
The more help students are given with their pronunciation，the more confident they feel when they speak and the more likely they are to have a go at speaking.
There is no point in teaching students new words or phrases if they can't pronounce them correctly.
Although there are many irregularities，there are also rules which can help students to pronounce better.About 70% of words in English follow a regular pronunciation style.
If students are taught to recognize phonemic scripts(音标注音)，they will be able to check pronunciation of new or unusual words in their dictionary.
Certain English sounds may not exist in their language at all or may be similar but different.Students may tend to pronounce letters or a group of letters in the same way as in their own language.
Teaching the 44 sounds of English altogether makes students realize that the number of sounds isn't limitless.
Students can be taught to see the relationship between a single letter and a sound，and how certain groups of letters produce certain sounds.
REMEMBER
Encourage your students with their pronunciation.

10．If you pronounce a word incorrectly，people will ________．
A．not get along well with you
B．not be able to understand you
C．teach you the correct pronunciation
D．encourage you to pronounce correctly
B [推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Incorrect pronunciation is one of the main reasons for breakdown in communication.”可知，错误的发音会影响交流。由此可推知，如果你发音不正确，对方将不能理解你的意思。]
11．The author probably disagrees that ________．
A．pronunciation is one of the most difficult things of the language
B．there are pronunciation rules for most of the English words
C．students should learn new words before pronouncing them correctly

B．The most difficult thing of English.
C．The English teachers' correct attitude.
D．The importance of teaching English sounds.
D [主旨大意题。本文主要讲了正确的英语发音的重要性，并提出了如何让学生学好发音的几点建议，故D项为最佳选项。]
D
The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers(减速带)on major highways and roads，in order to check speeding and careless driving，and finally make its deadly roads a little safer.“We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers，” India's Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari wrote.
The optical illusions(视觉错觉)are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically.Earlier，India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways，which are considered to be a safety hazard for high speed vehicles.India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world.According to the World Health Organisation，over 200，000 people are killed by road accidents.
The use of optical illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008，as part of a campaign against speeding motorists.The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings.In India，cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year.In Ahmedabad for instance，a mother and her daughter，both artists，have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of 2016.The artists say their motto is “to increase the attention of drivers”，and that the concept has been successfully tested in accident prone zones on a highway.
However，critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual illusions，they might ignore them.Others also point out that India's decision does not consider the safety of a large number of pedestrians(行人).In the end，the new policy may be just one step toward improving road safety.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。为了减少道路交通事故和提高道路的安全性，印度计划启用3D斑马线和减速带。但这一做法也引起了争议。
13．Why are 3D paintings used on main highways and roads
A．To make the surroundings more beautiful.
B．To attract the attention of tourists.
C．To reduce the rate of traffic accidents.
D．To show the advanced technology.
C [细节理解题。由第一段中的“in order to check speeding and careless driving，and finally make its deadly roads a little safer”可知，在路上使用3D斑马线的目的就是减少道路交通事故，提高道路的安全性。故选C项。]
14．Which of the following words is closest to the meaning of “hazard” in Paragraph 2
A．Reminder. B．Threat.
C．Regulation. D．Theory.
B [词义猜测题。画线词所在句是关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，which指代上文提到的all speed breakers，而它们因为造成交通事故已从公路上移除，也就是说，它们被视为高速行驶车辆的一大威胁。由此可推测，hazard的意思是“危险；隐患”，与threat意思相近。故选B项。]
15．What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 and 4
A．Philadelphia，the U．S.A is the second place to use virtual speed breakers in the world.
B．The idea tested in Ahmedabad recently has been a failure.
C．The new policy of 3D zebra crossings must be carried out smoothly.
D．The use of optical illusions as speed breakers is controversial in India.
D [推理判断题。前三段讲述的是这一新举措的好处，而第四段笔锋一转，介绍了反对者的声音：一旦司机知道了这些3D减速带是视觉错觉，他们会无视。还有人认为这一新举措没有考虑行人的安全。由此可推测，这一举措是有争议的(controversial)。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
You have the basics down：doing laundry，keeping the bathroom clean，wiping the kitchen countertops—but dirt and grime have a bad habit of collecting in the strangest places，including the ones you don't think to look at.__16__．
Clean off doorknobs and handles
You probably don't think to clean off the doorknobs and handles around your home very often.__17__．When you think about how often we touch the doorknobs and handles in our homes，especially with dirty hands or on the way in or out of the bathroom，you may even choose to make a habit of it.
__18__
Considering how often we use our phones，and where we use them，our phones deserve a more thorough cleaning from time to time.Keeping your device clean works in your favor in other ways too—it keeps your screen clean and easy to read.__19__．
Wash your pillows
You may not know it，but most pillows are designed to be machine washable.And it's a good thing too，considering pillows tend to be exactly where dead skin，dust，drool and in many cases，dust mites love to hang out.__20__．For people with compromised immune systems or who have allergies，they can be an irritant that makes for sleepless nights，skin irritation and sinus congestion(鼻窦堵塞).
A.Clean your screen
B．Wipe off your smartphone
C．When's the last time you did more than just wipe off your smartphone's screen when it was too smudged to see through
D．Also it keeps dust and grime out of speaker grates，away from charging ports and out of headphone jacks
E．For most people，that's not a huge deal，aside from the fact that they're putting their face on a dirty pillow at night to sleep
F．But they're worth a quick wipe the next time you're cleaning in the same room
G．Here are some spots around your house you should consider cleaning more often
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了日常打扫卫生时容易忽略的几个死角。
16．G [根据空后内容可知，该空用于引出下文。结合选项含义可知只有G项(以下是一些你在家中应该考虑进行更频繁地清理的地方)符合语境。]
17．F [结合空后内容可知只有F项(但下次打扫同一个房间时，它们值得快速擦拭一下)衔接上下文，该选项中的they指代空前的“the doorknobs and handles”。]
18．B [此处所填内容充当段落小标题，故排除A、B以外的选项。根据下文内容可知，要清洁的是phones，故只有B项符合语境。]
19．D [空前一句提到保持手机的清洁也会带来其他好处，由此可知只有D项(它也能让灰尘和污垢远离扬声器格栅、充电端口和耳机插口)符合此处语境。]
20．E [根据空后一句可知，对免疫功能不全或有过敏症的人来说，脏的枕头是一个大麻烦。由此可推知设空处讲的是针对大多数人的情况，故E项符合语境。]
Ⅲ.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)

第二节 读后续写(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。
Peter woke up early in the morning and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry，early bird？” Mom asked him.
“We will have an English spelling test today，Mom，” Peter said.“Mr.White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores.I've been studying the word list since last week.Although the words are difficult，I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school.At last，it was time for the students to have a test.“Responsibility，” Mr.White started.Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution，” Mr.White said.
“So easy，” Peter thought.He quickly wrote the word down.Thirty words later，the test papers were collected by Mr.White.“I am to mark your papers now，” he told the class.After marking the test papers，Mr.White said，“Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores.Peter，David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test！”
Mr.White praised them and gave the three students each a dictionary.Peter's was an English Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best.Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered.“This is my happiest moment，” Peter thought.
After Mr.White gave the test paper back，Peter had a look at the words，feeling proud of his spelling.All of a sudden，the word “contribution” confused him.It didn't seem right.Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list.“C o n t r i b u s i o n，” he whispered.He had spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do？” Peter said to himself.“I expect my classmates to think I'm a master in spelling.If I tell Mr.White one of my spelling words is wrong I'll have to give my prize back，or I will become an example for telling a lie.”
Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper，Peter was lost in thought.After a while，he remembered a lesson Mom used to teach him，“We ought to be an honest person.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Slowly，Peter raised his hand._______________________________________

[参考范文]
Slowly，Peter raised his hand.“Mr.White，I didn't get 100 percent on the test.I missed a word.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper.“I spelled contribution with ‘s i’ instead of ‘t i’．” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk.Mr.White held up Peter's test paper.“Class，” he said，“Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr.White smiled at Peter.“He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Peter looked around.He found many of his classmates were smiling at him.“Peter，I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us，”Mr.White said.Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr.White.Meanwhile，he couldn't wait to show it to Mom and tell her one of his best days ever.

Most teachers kick off the school term by introducing themselves and talking about what you'll be doing that year.Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class.
When teachers do the talking on the first day，they often go over classroom rules so you'll know what's allowed and what's not.Pay close attention so you'll know if you need to raise your hand to ask a question and what the rules are about visiting the restroom.
You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day.But it's a great day to make new friends，so try to say “hello” to the kids you know and new ones that you don't.Make the first move and you'll be glad about what you did and so will your new friends!
Most teachers let you pick your own seat on the first day，but by the second or third morning，they'll have mapped out a seating plan.It's a good idea to write down where your seat is in your notebook so you don't forget.

Now 68，the father of six and grandfather of eight goes to school six days a week to complete his studies and escapes a lonely home life following the death of his wife.
Walking into the secondary school and the noise created by 200 children is a welcome contrast(对比)to the silence of the cold one room home.“To forget my sorrows I go to school，” Kami，one of the oldest students in Nepal，said in the classroom where he studies together with 14 and 15 year olds.
His family was so poor that Kami couldn't finish his studies as a child and achieve his goal of becoming a teacher.
The teacher，Koirala，then invited Kami to his school，which provided the grandfather with a school uniform including grey trousers，a blue tie and a white shirt.“This is my first experience teaching a person who is as old as my father's age，”Koirala said.“I feel very excited and happy.”
The 20 children in his Grade 10 class have called Kami “Baa”，which means “father” in Nepal，but despite his age their elderly classmate joins in all activities，including volleyball in the schoolyard.“I used to think ‘Why is this old man coming to school to study with us？’but as time passed I enjoyed his company，” Kami's 14 year old classmate Sagar Thapa said.
Kami said he wanted to study until his death，adding he hoped it would encourage others to get over age obstacles(障碍).“If they see such an old person like me studying in school they might get motivated as well，” he said.

English is not pronounced as it is written：vowels(元音)and consonants(辅音)can often be pronounced in different ways，and there are no accents to help you with stress.For this reason，most students see pronunciation as one of the most difficult things of the language，and they expect their teacher to help them with it.Before a student can pronounce well，they must be able to pronounce each sound more or less correctly.
Incorrect pronunciation is one of the main reasons for breakdown in communication.
The more help students are given with their pronunciation，the more confident they feel when they speak and the more likely they are to have a go at speaking.
There is no point in teaching students new words or phrases if they can't pronounce them correctly.
Although there are many irregularities，there are also rules which can help students to pronounce better.About 70% of words in English follow a regular pronunciation style.
If students are taught to recognize phonemic scripts(音标注音)，they will be able to check pronunciation of new or unusual words in their dictionary.
Certain English sounds may not exist in their language at all or may be similar but different.Students may tend to pronounce letters or a group of letters in the same way as in their own language.
Teaching the 44 sounds of English altogether makes students realize that the number of sounds isn't limitless.
Students can be taught to see the relationship between a single letter and a sound，and how certain groups of letters produce certain sounds.
REMEMBER
Encourage your students with their pronunciation.
9．This passage is probably written for ________．

The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers(减速带)on major highways and roads，in order to check speeding and careless driving，and finally make its deadly roads a little safer.“We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers，” India's Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari wrote.
The optical illusions(视觉错觉)are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically.Earlier，India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways，which are considered to be a safety hazard for high speed vehicles.India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world.According to the World Health Organisation，over 200，000 people are killed by road accidents.
The use of optical illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008，as part of a campaign against speeding motorists.The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings.In India，cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year.In Ahmedabad for instance，a mother and her daughter，both artists，have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of 2016.The artists say their motto is “to increase the attention of drivers”，and that the concept has been successfully tested in accident prone zones on a highway.
However，critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual illusions，they might ignore them.Others also point out that India's decision does not consider the safety of a large number of pedestrians(行人).In the end，the new policy may be just one step toward improving road safety.
13．Why are 3D paintings used on main highways and roads
A．To make the surroundings more beautiful.
B．To attract the attention of tourists.
C．To reduce the rate of traffic accidents.
D．To show the advanced technology.
14．Which of the following words is closest to the meaning of “hazard” in Paragraph 2
A．Reminder. B．Threat.
C．Regulation. D．Theory.
15．What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 and 4
A．Philadelphia，the U．S.A is the second place to use virtual speed breakers in the world.
B．The idea tested in Ahmedabad recently has been a failure.
C．The new policy of 3D zebra crossings must be carried out smoothly.
D．The use of optical illusions as speed breakers is controversial in India.

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。
Peter woke up early in the morning and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry，early bird？” Mom asked him.
“We will have an English spelling test today，Mom，” Peter said.“Mr.White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores.I've been studying the word list since last week.Although the words are difficult，I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school.At last，it was time for the students to have a test.“Responsibility，” Mr.White started.Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution，” Mr.White said.
“So easy，” Peter thought.He quickly wrote the word down.Thirty words later，the test papers were collected by Mr.White.“I am to mark your papers now，” he told the class.After marking the test papers，Mr.White said，“Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores.Peter，David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test！”
Mr.White praised them and gave the three students each a dictionary.Peter's was an English Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best.Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered.“This is my happiest moment，” Peter thought.
After Mr.White gave the test paper back，Peter had a look at the words，feeling proud of his spelling.All of a sudden，the word “contribution” confused him.It didn't seem right.Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list.“C o n t r i b u s i o n，” he whispered.He had spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do？” Peter said to himself.“I expect my classmates to think I'm a master in spelling.If I tell Mr.White one of my spelling words is wrong I'll have to give my prize back，or I will become an example for telling a lie.”
Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper，Peter was lost in thought.After a while，he remembered a lesson Mom used to teach him，“We ought to be an honest person.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
