第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题 2. 5分,满分 37. 5分)
A
"Have you checked the oil in the car, Ted " my father used to say to me. Sometimes our phone calls would begin and end with an only inquiry(询问)about the oil, without asking anything else. Fathers have lots of love to give, but it's often provided through useful advice. In my experience, it's mostly about the car.
Why can't fathers just say "I love you" or "It's great to see you" Why can't the sentences" I care about you "and" You made my life better from the moment you were born "be heard Because fathers tend to express their true feelings indirectly. You just have to understand the language—Fatherlish(父亲式语言).
When I was 17 years old, I went on my first road trip in that old car. My father stood on the corner on a cold early morning to say goodbye. "Roads are dangerous, "he said, "so don't try driving faster than a horse. And remember to take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil. "At the time I thought his speech was pretty funny and old.
Dad's long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that if I had owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I would have understood that the speech that I always laughed at was simply Dad's way to express love and care.
21. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. The author wanted to buy a new car badly.
B. The author forgot to check the oil regularly.
C. The author's father expressed his love differently.
D. The author's father preferred to make phone calls.
22. Why does the author mention his first road trip
A. To show the danger of the trip. B. To present his father's hidden love.
C. To explain the rules of driving. D. To tell a very exciting experience.
23. How does the author feel about his father's speech at last
A. Funny. B. Traditional. C. Caring. D. Old.
24. What can be the best title for the text
A. Checking the Oil B. Making Phone Calls
C. Taking Helpful Advice D. Speaking Fatherlish
B
In this digital age, people measure their popularity by the number of likes and followers they get on social media. But as it turns out, people are happiest when their friends are high quality-not high quantity.
Scientists from the University of Leeds, UK, studied data from two online surveys of nearly 1, 500 people. Those who took the survey gave details about their age, social interactions, and how satisfied they were with their social lives. The researchers found that those who had a small number of close friends generally tended to be happier than those who had a large number of superficial (关系浅表的) friends.
"Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends, "said Wandi Bruine de Bruin, one of the researchers.
Bruine de Bruin found that older people tended to have smaller social circles than young people, but the people in these circles tended to be closer to them.
Younger people, on the other hand, tended to have bigger circles that were made up of "peripheral (次要的)others"-people who are not true friends,but just people they know. These people had no influence on the happiness of the younger surveyed.
The results of the study show that the prejudice society has about old people being sad and lonely might not be accurate.
"The research shows that older adults' smaller networks didn't undermine(破坏)social satisfaction and well-being. In fact, older adults tend to report better well-being than younger adults, "said Bruine de Bruin.
25. According to the study, people are likely to be happier when they________________.
A. have a lot of followers on social media
B. are satisfied with their work and lives
C. make friends with people who are older
D. have a small circle of people who understand them well
26. What do we know from Paragraphs 4 and 5
A. Older people's friends seem to be of higher quality.
B. Young people don't need to make peripheral friends.
C. Older people's happiness has nothing to do with their friends.
D. Both old and young people find it hard to make close friends.
27. Which word might Bruine de Bruin use to describe older adults
A. Superficial. B. Happy. C. Lonely. D. Sad.
28. What is the main topic of the passage
A. Different types of friends.
B. Changes in people's happiness levels.
C. The relationship between happiness and number of friends.
D. Interactions between old and young people.
C
It's exciting when your teens announce a dream of being a writer. However, besides providing them with different kinds of reading materials, you can direct them to the following websites offering great resources to future storytellers.
Figment
This is an online community and self-publishing platform for young writers.

Letting me move into my university dormitory wasn't an easy decision for my parents. However, they knew if I wanted a good education, I'd have to live away from home. I'd always dream of living alone the life of no rules and regulations and being independent. So I was delighted about this new stage in my life.
Unexpectedly, during the first few months of living alone, I would find myself crying every day. I would call my mum every day. Coming from a big family, I was used to noises surrounding me. Therefore, the scary silence at night was the worst. I couldn't even sleep without keeping the lights on.
As time went by, I started enjoying the freedom that came with living alone. I could do things in my own time: eat whenever I want, wake up whenever I want. The space of loneliness was also then filled up by friends who became like family, so I started missing my family less.
When it was time to say goodbye and go back home after my graduation I was bittersweet. I'd enjoyed my time alone, learning things which wouldn't have been possible ifI had never moved away from home. But I'd also missed my family too much.
I'd learned a lot from this experience. Living alone made me value family time even more. I realized every second with them was important though I might not get the freedom while living alone.
I guess it's different for everybody, but for me, there is no warmth in a house unless it's filled with loving members and people you love.
32. How did the author feel before moving into the university dormitory
A. Sad. B. Happy. C. Nervous. D. Cold.
33. What can we know about the author from paragraph 4
A. He had mixed feelings.
B. He didn't enjoy his time alone.
C. He has been used to the life in school.
D. He found living with his family was better than in the school.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The author felt cold living in school.
B. The author's dormitory was the warmest place.
C. The author felt warm living with his beloved ones.
D. Everyone felt warm when living with his beloved ones.
35. What does the author want to tell us
A. Family is the most important place in people's life.
B. People can easily get used to what happened.
C. People can find freedom only when they leave their family.
D. People need to grow up on their own, but family plays an important role.

I grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and mother. We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field. And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me "Dream is priceless". However, when I was about to get off the ground, one particular incident happened, which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $12. 25 per pared with the average $3. 5, that was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance for money in my pocket, certainly money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect(前景))of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn't dare to tell my coach, I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, "If you make your bed, you have to lie in it. "I decided to talk to my coach in person. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.

Dear Tony,
I am glad to receive your letter asking for information about the evening classes. Following are the details that may help you better understand them.
The reason why we have evening classes is that we have to face the pressure of Gaokao. Everyone has to make full use of every minute to study well. Besides, we can finish our homework more effectively while staying at school. When we have evening classes, we can either go over what we have learned in the daytime or take some tests.
Though some students possess opposite opinions, most of us are in favor of the evening classes. After all, time and tide wait for no man.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

I gathered my courage and knocked at his door. As expected, his face turned purple immediately. He glared at me like a bull. "You have your whole life to work, " he said, “but your playing days are limited. You can't afford to waste them. " I stood before him with my head down. “How much will you be paid, son ” He demanded. "$12. 25 per hour. ” “Well, " he shrugged. “Is $12. 25 an hour the price of a dream ”
That question reminded me of what my coach used to say. Yes, dream is priceless. It's stupid to earn pocket money at the expense of my dream. I held my head high and said firmly, “Sorry, Mr. Jarvis. I know what to do next. " My coach smiled with great satisfaction. That summer I dedicated myself to baseball training. And one year later, I obtained a baseball scholarship to the University. I knew I would soon buy my mum a house. Thankfully, I made a right choice. Without Mr. Jarvis, I would never know I could afford a dream.
