第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Summer has finally arrived, which means kids are bound for the outdoors. It can be exciting for kids and parents to have a great opportunity to go swimming, picnicking or on adventures. This time of year is also a dangerous time of year as almost half of all injury-related deaths in children occur between May and August. Whether it be in the pool, on bike, out in the sun or in the backyard is always important. Here are some tips to keep the family safe over the summer.
Water Safety
At this time of year, drowning deaths among children skyrocket(飞涨) compared to the rest of the year. Never leave your child alone in the water, even in shallow water. A child can drown in as little as one inch of water. Enroll your children in swimming lessons. Some swim schools offer class for children as young as 6 months.
Sun Safety
We are fortunate enough to live in the Sunshine State, where sun shines year-round. But with all the time you and the kids will be spending outdoors this summer, it's important to protect yourself. Make sure to use a widely-used sunscreen(防晒霜) that blocks both UVA and UVB sunlight. Cotton clothing has an estimated SPF of only 6, so even if your kids are going out wearing T-shirts and shorts, make sure they are covered up.
Bike Safety
Nothing says summer like a nice neighborhood bike ride. But bikes are not toys and can certainly cause injury. Don't forget to always wear a helmet. Head injuries are reduced by 85 Percent when riders wear a helmet and other safety equipment like knee and wrist pads. It's estimated that 75 percent of bicycle-related deaths could have been prevented with bicycle helmets. When riding on the street, make sure kids understand all riding hand signals, ride with the traffic flow and stay as far right as possible.
1.Summer is called a dangerous time because children ____________.
A.are easily injured B.enjoy staying in the sun
C.want to learn swimming D.refuse to accept advice
2.What can be learned from the second paragraph
A.Swimming is a dangerous activity.
B.Shallow water is harmless to children.
C.Some swim schools offer class for free.
D.Deaths from drowning increase suddenly in summer.
3.In order to avoid getting sunburned, what should you do
A.Avoid riding bikes. B.Use a sunscreen.
C.Buy expensive clothes. D.Wear T-shirts and shorts.

The Song Dynasty (960—1279) is often thought of as the Chinese Renaissance (文艺复兴). For about three and a quarter centuries, under its rule, China enjoyed a period of economic growth with great and amazing artistic achievements.
One of the most important factors in the Song Renaissance was the printing press(印刷机) which made for a rebirth of classical Confucian(儒学的) learning. By the 10th century, printers had produced a large number of copies of the classical Confucian texts. With this increase in the production of books, education spread and became widely available.
Printing also had its greatest influence on the Chinese political system. In the Song Dynasty, government examinations became the most important way to gain political power in China. For almost 1,000 years, China was governed by men who had done very well in examinations. Thousands of students studied for the exams, and thousands of inexpensive books were required. Without printing, such a system would not have been possible.
The Song period was also the golden age of Chinese painting. Emperor Huizong was a talented painter who encouraged the arts. A royal painting school was created and many fine artists were supported. The period is best known for nature subjects and landscape paintings. Guo Xi used perspective (透视法) in his paintings and The Quiet Valley is one of his best-known works. One of the greatest landscape painters of the period was Fan Kuan. His famous work, Travelling among Mountains and Streams, is one of the most famous Chinese pleted around the year 1000, it was inspired by the power of nature and the relative insignificance of humans.
1.When was the Chinese Renaissance
A.Immediately after the Renaissance in Europe. B.During the Song Dynasty.
C.At the time of Confucius. D.In the year 1000.
2.What contributed to spreading the ideas of Confucius
A.The spread of education to all people. B.People's new interest in classical texts.
C.The development of painting. D.The printing press and a wide availability of books.
3.How did people become politicians at the time
A.By studying Confucian ideas. B.By reading many printed books.
C.By learning painting. D.By taking government examinations.
4.Which of the following is the painter of Travelling among Mountains and Streams according to the passage

I realized something this morning. I have been writing for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old. As a boy I had read literally(确实) hundreds of books. I had a thirst for knowledge that seemingly could never fade. Then suddenly I found I had something I wanted to share. I tried to ignore it, but as any writer will tell you once the ideas awaken inside of you they won't leave you alone until you write them down. I didn't have a computer, a word processor, or even a typewriter. Still, I grabbed a pen and lined notebook paper and wrote everything that was burning inside of me.
When I was done I didn't know how to share it. There was no Internet back then, no smartphones, or no social media. I sought out the editor (编辑) of my local county newspaper and asked him to print what I had written. He was a good man full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish (刊登) anything else I was willing to write. I continued to write new articles each week and shared them first with other local papers and later online as well. Years later at the urging of my readers I even self-published two collections of my stories.
Through my writing I slowly became better than I was. In my writings I encountered my best self. In my writings I discovered the goodness and light that lie in us all. In my writings I found great love and joy and encouraged others to choose love and joy as well. I also found that we all are writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we hold, and with everything we do we are writing our own life story.
Lance Wubbels once wrote, "I hope you realize your life is truly your life. It belongs to you. It is your story to write with love. Day by day, line by line, write it well."
1.As a boy, when the author found he had something he wanted to share, _________.
A.he wrote it down B.he managed to ignore it
C.he shared it on social media D.he told it to a writer
2.How did the author begin his writing career
A.He was hired as a newspaper editor. B.He put his stories online by himself.
C.He self-published two books. D.He was helped by a local newspaper editor.
3.What does the author think of writing
A.Writing takes practice and efforts. B.Writing can benefit oneself and others.
C.Writing helps people tell right from wrong. D.Only with a pen can one write his life story.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.A way to be a writer B.A way to share ideas
C.Living is writing D.Writing is the source of love
D
Traffic jams and cities, it seems, go hand in hand. Everyone complains about being stuck in traffic, but, like the weather, no one seems to do anything about it. In particular, traffic engineers, transportation planners, and public officials responsible for transportation systems in large cities are frequently criticized for failing to solve the traffic jam.
But is the traffic jam a sign of failure Long queues at restaurants or theater box offices are seen as signs of success. Should transportation systems be viewed any differently I think we should recognize that the traffic jam is an unpreventable by-product(副产品) of successful cities, and view the "traffic problem" in a different light.
Cities exist because they improve social communication and economic trade. The traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited space. Culturally and economically successful cities have the worst traffic problems, while decaying cities don't have much traffic. New York and Los Angeles are America's most crowded cities. But if you want access to major brokerage houses(经纪行), you will find them easier to reach in crowded New York than in any other large cities. And if your company needs access to post-production film editors or satellite-guidance engineers, you will reach them more quickly through the crowded freeways of LA than through less crowded roads elsewhere.
Despite the traffic jam, a larger amount of social communication and economic trade can be made better in large, crowded cities than elsewhere. Seen in this light, the traffic jam is an unfortunate result of prosperity(繁荣), not a cause of the economic fall and urban decay. So while we can consider the traffic jam as increasing cost in the areas of big cities, the cost of inaccessibility in uncrowded places is almost certainly greater.
There is no doubt that the traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Lagos. But mobility(流动性) is far higher and traffic jam levels are far lower here in the US, even in our most crowded cities. That's why, for now, we don't see people and capital streaming out of San Francisco and Chicago, heading for cities like El Centro and McAllen.
1. We can conclude from the first paragraph that _____.
A. the traffic jam and weather are the two factors preventing the development of big cities
B. the traffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal with
C. if traffic engineers try their best, the traffic jam can be solved
D. public officials are always criticized for misusing their power
2. By saying "decaying" (in Para. 3), the author probably means _____.
A. less powerful and influential B. developing
C. rich and successful D. small-sized
3. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The traffic jam has caused terrible effects in cities such as Bangkok and Lagos.
B. The traffic jam in San Francisco has resulted in the capital flowing out.
C. The traffic jam level in Jakarta is lower than that in the US.
D. McAllen is as crowded and successful as San Francisco.
4. What's the author's opinion on the traffic jam
A. In cities, the traffic jam is avoidable.
B. The traffic jam is both a sign of failure and a sign of success.
C. The traffic jam is the result of successful cities.
D. The traffic jam can promote social communication and economic trade.

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。
One of my most memorable trips took place during the summer vacation about three years ago，when my sister，my aunt and I took a trip to Spain because we were moving. On the day of the trip. I lay in bed thinking about my friends whom I was going to leave behind and thoughts were flooding in.
When we arrived at the hire station，we seemed to have some problems with our luggage because it was too much for a taxi，so we had to book a van(厢式送货车)to take our luggage to the airport. We waited for a long period to find a perfect van that would fit our luggage.
Before leaving，I felt very bad because I was going to a different country and was going to miss all my friends and family. I was not comfortable and cried.
The journey was almost perfect at the beginning，but soon it began to rain. Because of the rain，the drivers could not see far away，which caused a huge traffic jam. I was sitting by the window with a can of Coke that I had bought in the store earlier. My aunt and sister fell asleep，and during this time，I felt bored and thought about other things that bothered me. My eyes turned to the mountain in front of us.
A bus suddenly appeared in the picture. It was very close to us. Cars sped past us without any speed limit. Beside me was a very deep lake：I wondered to myself what if something or someone fell inside it. Suddenly，a bus in front of our van stopped，and because it was raining heavily and the van was going fast，no one could see what was going to happen. Then，bang，we bumped into each other. Our van overturned，but luckily，it didn't fall into the lake. People came to help us get out of the van because we were blocked and the driver was half-dead.

答案：1. are experimenting2. built3. to last4. If5. to/with6. pollution7. recently8.busiest9. were10. which
解析：
越来越多的城市在试验无人驾驶的公交车。
1. are experimenting【解题思路】考查动词的时态和语态。根据时间状语at present可知,此处表示正在发生的事情,又因主语cities与动词experiment之间为主动关系,故应用现在进行时的主动语态。
2. built【解题思路】考查非谓语动词。The vehicles与build之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故应用build的动词-ed形式作后置定语。
3. to last【解题思路】考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处为expect sb. to do sth.的被动语态,故空处应用动词不定式作补语, 故填 to last。
4. If【解题思路】考査状语从句。根据语境可知,此处为条件状语从句,表示"如果事情进展良好",故填If。
5. to/with【解题思路】考查介词。connect A to/with B意为"把A 和B连接起来",是固定短语。
6. pollution【解题思路】考查词形转换。根据空前的形容词可判断空处应用名词。pollution意为"污染"。
7.recently【解题思路】考査词形转换。分析句子结构可知,空处作状语修饰动词launched,故应用副词形式。
8. busiest【解题思路】考査形容词的最高级。根据空后的in Las Vegas以及空前的one of the可知,空处应用形容词的最高级。
9. were【解题思路】考査时态和主谓一致。由语境可知,此处表示发生在过去的事情,且主语Rides表示复数概念,修饰先行词yearly cost,故填 were。
10. which【解题思路】考查定语从句。分析句子结构并根据语境可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句并在从句中作主语,修饰先行词yearly cost,故填which。

第二节
答案：
We struggled to get out of the van and everything we had was gone. Everything was very strange. I had never had that kind of experience before. It was like watching a horror movie. Some people who were also in the accident started crying，looking for their children, tears beginning to increase. My leg was badly injured．My aunt was calling to seek some help, and my sister was full of injury. It almost seemed that the tragedy was never going to end.
I was losing a lot of blood and then the emergency aid came. They took us to hospital where we were treated. We had to pay for some fees, but we had no money. The doctors and nurses who were present learned of our condition and paid for us. Although we had experienced a bad accident, we were all lucky to have received help from those warm-hearted people. After that we went on with our journey and reached our destination successfully at last.
