第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
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。
A
For over a century, the Nashua River in Massachusetts had provided power for factories, which gave jobs to thousands of people. Over the years, these paper, cotton, wood, and woolen factories had poured their waste into its waters.
By the 1960s, the Nashua River was about as polluted as any river could get. Its waters became red or green or blue with dye(染料) from paper factories lying on its banks. The smoke from this dye blackened the paint on the buildings near the river.
Then along came Marion Stoddart with a simple but overwhelming(压倒性的) idea—cleaning up the Nashua River. This was no one-woman campaign. Stoddart encouraged the paper factories and the business community to form partnerships to reclaim the river. She carried jars of dirty river water to local officials to demonstrate the seriousness of the problem. Stoddart talked with business leaders about economic problems. She talked with environmentalists about the long-term problems of pollution.
Stoddart knew that the State Water Pollution Control Board would have the final say on forcing the clean-up. When she spoke to the board, she insisted that the Nashua River should be made safe for swimming. They thought her goal was unrealistic.
However, the partnerships Stoddart had helped form and the volunteers who were drawn to her cause never gave up. They all realised that cleaning up the river was in everyone’s best interests. By 1993, several water treatment plants had been built, and a conservation area called “a green way ” had been created along the banks of the river.
Today factories are still operating along the river, but there are also fish in the river. The Nashua River welcomes boaters, naturalists, and even swimmers. None of this would have been possible without a woman of vision and a community working together.
1.What does the underlined word “reclaim" mean
A.Enlarge. B.Rescue. C.Monitor. D.Explore.
2.What kind of person is Marion Stoddart
A.Intelligent and creative. B.Stubborn and proud.
C.Independent and broad-minded. D.Determined and far-sighted.
3.What message is conveyed through the campaign
A.Practice makes perfect. B.Many hands make light work.
C.Prevention is better than cure. D.Failure is the mother of success.
B
Health authority advocates more fruits and vegetables
China's health authority and All-China Journalists Association (ACJA) jointly kicked off a public campaign advising citizens to consume a quarter kilogram of fruits and half a kilo of vegetables every day.

Unbalanced diet results in people becoming overweight, obese and a rise in chronic disease,Wu Liangyou, an NHFPC officials said in the statement.
The campaign followed the “2015 Report on Chinese Nutrition and Chronic Disease”, released by the NHFPC on June 30, which highlighted the alarming rate of stretching waistlines.
“The obesity rate among adults was 11.9 percent in 2012, a rise of 67.6 percent from 2002, and 6.4 percent among children and adolescents, a rate tripling that of 2002 the statement said.
The average Chinese person takes in excessive amount of fat which accounts for more than 30 percent of energy intake, while the consumption of vegetables and fruits are decreasing.

The Arctic is a polar region. It surrounds the North Pole.
Like Antarctica,the Arctic is a land of ice and snow. Antarctica holds the record for a low temperature reading一125 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Reading of 85 degrees below zero is common in Antarctica. Winter temperatures average 30 degrees below zero in the Arctic. At the South Pole the winter average is about 73 degrees below zero.
One thing alone makes it almost impossible for men to live in Antarctica and in parts of the Arctic. This one thing is the low temperature —the killing chill of far North and the polar South.
To survive, men must wear the warmest possible clothing. They must build windproof shelters. They must keep heaters going at all times. Not even for a moment can they be unprotected against the below-zero temperatures.
Men have a way of providing for themselves. Polar explorers wrap themselves in warm coats and furs. The cold makes life difficult. But the explorers can stay alive.
What about animals Can they survive Do we find plants Do we find life in the Arctic and in Antarctica Yes,we do. There is life in the oceans. There is life on land.
Antarctica, as we have seen,is a cold place indeed. But this has not always been the case. Expedition(探险) scientists have discovered that Antarctica has not always been a frozen continent. At one time the weather in Antarctica may have been much like our own.
Explorers have discovered coal in Antarctica. This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swamps and forests. Heat and moisture must have kept the trees in the forests alive.
1.The lowest temperature that man has ever known was recorded _________.
A.in Antarctica
B.in the Arctic
C.at the North Pole
D.in the polar region
2.Polar explorers can stay alive there because they _________.
A.stay inside the building there
B.have their own way to keep warm
C.are stronger than other people
D.have no heaters and windproof shelters
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A.Man can survive in polar areas as long as they can keep warm.
B.Despite the cold,both animals and plants can be found in polar areas.
C.Antarctica has not always been so cold as it is today, nor has the Arctic.
D.At one time, the weather in Antarctica was so warm and damp that trees grew there.
4.What's the main idea of the passage
A.The Arctic is colder than Antarctica.
B.The history of the Arctic and Antarctica.
C.Fhe discovery in the Arctic and Antarctica.
D.The environmental features in polar regions.
D
My name's Geoffrey Chaucer. It was 16th April, 1386, and I was in London at an inn in Southwark. Tomorrow I would go to Canterbury, to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket, together with twenty-nine other people. Before I say more, I want to tell you about some of the people with me.
First there was a knight, a good man who fought well and knew many different countries. He was a true friend to everyone, and always helped people when they needed it. His clothes were old. dark, and dirty from many years of fighting.
Then there was a businessman with an expensive hat on his head. The man, who looked wealthier than he truly was, always said,“I’m doing very well.” A very quick thinker, he talked about ships and the sea a lot, and showed much interest in changing money from different countries.
After the businessman came a franklin(乡绅) with a white beard. He asked people from near and far to visit him at home as he liked eating and drinking and having a good time with others. He was an important man. He knew right from wrong, and people listened to him.
There was a woman from Bath. Her face was open, and nice-looking, but she couldn’t hear very well. In her red dress, she was a big woman with a big smile and big teeth, laughing a lot and talking easily. She knew all about love.
So there we were, all thirty of us, at the inn. The landlord, a tall fat man. brought us the best dinner in London. He would also join our journey tomorrow. After we finished eating, the landlord smiled, suggesting. “We re going to Canterbury tomorrow, and that’s four days from here. One by one, let’s all tell a story on the road to make the time go quicker. And to the teller of the best story we can give a free dinner here at my inn when we get back. What do you say " We all said “yes” happily to him. Then the question for us was: Who goes first
1.Which of the following can be described as kind-hearted

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Several years ago, I was living in New York and working for an airline, so I never got back home for Christmas. My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around. But in my heart I was sad because I couldn't stay with my family. Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whole day off, which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve.
When Christmas morning came, I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face. “Dad, Merry Christmas!” was all my younger son had time to say. He seemed to be racing against time. I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly. I got downstairs just to see the two little boys’ faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left them. I realised that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus. At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection(检查) had been completed,the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the centre of the living room.
Delight flooded the room. As their mother began giving out gifts, I smiled to myself, wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received. With so many Christmas spent outside, T had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places. But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them. They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires. But I had not received a single one. I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years.

第一节
答案：
Dear Jim,
I'm happy to receive your letter and know you're coming to China.
Of the two trips to the Yangtze River and Mount Tai, both are highly recommended. Personally, I prefer the trip along the Yangtze River, which is the longest river and one of the mother rivers of Chinese civilisation. You can learn a lot about the history of China and Chinese people. Moreover, the scenery along the river is amazing, with many well-known sightseeing spots. That's why I think the trip along the Yangtze River will be a better choice.
Hope you’ll have a good time in China.
Yours,
Li Hua

答案：
Paragraph 1 :
I had to admit that my disappointment was growing steadily. I was wondering whether I could get a gift when my younger son ran to me, who was really kind enough to save my lace. He asked me to admire his gill which he deeply believed was carefully chosen by Santa Claus. He said happily that he would share some of the gifts of his and allow me to choose one from them. I thanked him from the bottom of my heart, still feeling disappointed.
Paragraph 2 :
Suddenly my wife walked up to me. It seemed that she had guessed how I felt. She asked me to look at the Christmas tree which was decorated with so many boxes. I think she was showing off her efforts on the decoration but she took off a small box and passed it to me smiling and saying it was for me. I opened it and saw a letter which read: We will never forget you. Merry Christmas! Under the letter was a watch which was clicking with delight. I was moved to tears.

第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
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。
A
For over a century, the Nashua River in Massachusetts had provided power for factories, which gave jobs to thousands of people. Over the years, these paper, cotton, wood, and woolen factories had poured their waste into its waters.
By the 1960s, the Nashua River was about as polluted as any river could get. Its waters became red or green or blue with dye(染料) from paper factories lying on its banks. The smoke from this dye blackened the paint on the buildings near the river.
Then along came Marion Stoddart with a simple but overwhelming(压倒性的) idea—cleaning up the Nashua River. This was no one-woman campaign. Stoddart encouraged the paper factories and the business community to form partnerships to reclaim the river. She carried jars of dirty river water to local officials to demonstrate the seriousness of the problem. Stoddart talked with business leaders about economic problems. She talked with environmentalists about the long-term problems of pollution.
Stoddart knew that the State Water Pollution Control Board would have the final say on forcing the clean-up. When she spoke to the board, she insisted that the Nashua River should be made safe for swimming. They thought her goal was unrealistic.
However, the partnerships Stoddart had helped form and the volunteers who were drawn to her cause never gave up. They all realised that cleaning up the river was in everyone’s best interests. By 1993, several water treatment plants had been built, and a conservation area called “a green way ” had been created along the banks of the river.
Today factories are still operating along the river, but there are also fish in the river. The Nashua River welcomes boaters, naturalists, and even swimmers. None of this would have been possible without a woman of vision and a community working together.
1.What does the underlined word “reclaim" mean
A.Enlarge. B.Rescue. C.Monitor. D.Explore.

A.Intelligent and creative. B.Stubborn and proud.

3.What message is conveyed through the campaign

C.Prevention is better than cure. D.Failure is the mother of success.

The Arctic is a polar region. It surrounds the North Pole.
Like Antarctica,the Arctic is a land of ice and snow. Antarctica holds the record for a low temperature reading一125 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Reading of 85 degrees below zero is common in Antarctica. Winter temperatures average 30 degrees below zero in the Arctic. At the South Pole the winter average is about 73 degrees below zero.
One thing alone makes it almost impossible for men to live in Antarctica and in parts of the Arctic. This one thing is the low temperature —the killing chill of far North and the polar South.
To survive, men must wear the warmest possible clothing. They must build windproof shelters. They must keep heaters going at all times. Not even for a moment can they be unprotected against the below-zero temperatures.
Men have a way of providing for themselves. Polar explorers wrap themselves in warm coats and furs. The cold makes life difficult. But the explorers can stay alive.
What about animals Can they survive Do we find plants Do we find life in the Arctic and in Antarctica Yes,we do. There is life in the oceans. There is life on land.
Antarctica, as we have seen,is a cold place indeed. But this has not always been the case. Expedition(探险) scientists have discovered that Antarctica has not always been a frozen continent. At one time the weather in Antarctica may have been much like our own.
Explorers have discovered coal in Antarctica. This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swamps and forests. Heat and moisture must have kept the trees in the forests alive.
1.The lowest temperature that man has ever known was recorded _________.
A.in Antarctica
B.in the Arctic
C.at the North Pole
D.in the polar region
2.Polar explorers can stay alive there because they _________.
A.stay inside the building there
B.have their own way to keep warm
C.are stronger than other people
D.have no heaters and windproof shelters
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A.Man can survive in polar areas as long as they can keep warm.
B.Despite the cold,both animals and plants can be found in polar areas.
C.Antarctica has not always been so cold as it is today, nor has the Arctic.
D.At one time, the weather in Antarctica was so warm and damp that trees grew there.
4.What's the main idea of the passage
A.The Arctic is colder than Antarctica.
B.The history of the Arctic and Antarctica.
C.Fhe discovery in the Arctic and Antarctica.
D.The environmental features in polar regions.

My name's Geoffrey Chaucer. It was 16th April, 1386, and I was in London at an inn in Southwark. Tomorrow I would go to Canterbury, to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket, together with twenty-nine other people. Before I say more, I want to tell you about some of the people with me.
First there was a knight, a good man who fought well and knew many different countries. He was a true friend to everyone, and always helped people when they needed it. His clothes were old. dark, and dirty from many years of fighting.
Then there was a businessman with an expensive hat on his head. The man, who looked wealthier than he truly was, always said,“I’m doing very well.” A very quick thinker, he talked about ships and the sea a lot, and showed much interest in changing money from different countries.
After the businessman came a franklin(乡绅) with a white beard. He asked people from near and far to visit him at home as he liked eating and drinking and having a good time with others. He was an important man. He knew right from wrong, and people listened to him.
There was a woman from Bath. Her face was open, and nice-looking, but she couldn’t hear very well. In her red dress, she was a big woman with a big smile and big teeth, laughing a lot and talking easily. She knew all about love.
So there we were, all thirty of us, at the inn. The landlord, a tall fat man. brought us the best dinner in London. He would also join our journey tomorrow. After we finished eating, the landlord smiled, suggesting. “We re going to Canterbury tomorrow, and that’s four days from here. One by one, let’s all tell a story on the road to make the time go quicker. And to the teller of the best story we can give a free dinner here at my inn when we get back. What do you say " We all said “yes” happily to him. Then the question for us was: Who goes first

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Several years ago, I was living in New York and working for an airline, so I never got back home for Christmas. My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around. But in my heart I was sad because I couldn't stay with my family. Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whole day off, which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve.
When Christmas morning came, I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face. “Dad, Merry Christmas!” was all my younger son had time to say. He seemed to be racing against time. I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly. I got downstairs just to see the two little boys’ faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left them. I realised that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus. At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection(检查) had been completed,the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the centre of the living room.
Delight flooded the room. As their mother began giving out gifts, I smiled to myself, wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received. With so many Christmas spent outside, T had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places. But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them. They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires. But I had not received a single one. I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years.

第一节
答案：
Dear Jim,
I'm happy to receive your letter and know you're coming to China.
Of the two trips to the Yangtze River and Mount Tai, both are highly recommended. Personally, I prefer the trip along the Yangtze River, which is the longest river and one of the mother rivers of Chinese civilisation. You can learn a lot about the history of China and Chinese people. Moreover, the scenery along the river is amazing, with many well-known sightseeing spots. That's why I think the trip along the Yangtze River will be a better choice.
Hope you’ll have a good time in China.
Yours,
Li Hua

I thanked him from the bottom of my heart, still feeling disappointed.
Paragraph 2 :
Suddenly my wife walked up to me. It seemed that she had guessed how I felt. She asked me to look at the Christmas tree which was decorated with so many boxes. I think she was showing off her efforts on the decoration but she took off a small box and passed it to me smiling and saying it was for me. I opened it and saw a letter which read: We will never forget you. Merry Christmas! Under the letter was a watch which was clicking with delight. I was moved to tears.
