Robert Frost(1874—1963) was the statesman of American letters in the twentieth century,a rare national poet who was read and respected by both university professors and everyday citizens.In his life,Frost won four Pulitzer Prizes for his works— more than any other poet in American history.His most famous poems include The Road Not Taken,Fire and Ice and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.Though he is widely read,Frost is also one of the most misunderstood writers in the United States for the complexity of his poems.
Though born in California,Frost was brought up in New England,where he is inseparably linked.After dropping out of Dartmouth College to seek his literary dream,he remained upset for years,producing collections of works but failing to get enough of them published to make his efforts financially worthwhile.Finally,Frost left the United States in 1912 to see whether his works might be better received in London.It was,and in 1913 his first full collection was published in Great Britain.Fellow American poet Amy Lowell adored Frost’s work and brought it back to the United States,publicizing it insistently.Soon afterwards Frost’s collections became bestsellers,and he became a famous figure.
From then on,Frost was on his way to the lifelong respect and recognition for his achievements in poetry.In 1961,he was invited to read a poem for the presidential inauguration (总统就职典礼) of John F.Kennedy.He recited his poem,The Gift Outright,from memory at the ceremony.This was perhaps his last poetry reading in front of a wide national audience before his death in 1963.More importantly,Frost became the first poet to read a poem at a presidential inauguration.

When Rebecca Saxon was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 27,she thought her life was over.But in her darkest hour,inspiration struck and she found a way of turning her misfortune into advantage.

Rebecca,from London,says,“I started designing wedding shoes with blue soles (鞋底)when I was halfway through my cancer treatment.I had a hit when I was diagnosed with cancer but I decided that I was going to pick myself up and fight this cancer.The pictures were my release and the way I got through the many hours spent in a hospital room.I had no idea what was going to happen to me,but I knew I had to be positive if I was going to overcome this treatment.I told myself this was not going to be the end for me.I decided to fight with my negative feelings and start drawing.”
Rebecca had always loved fashion since she was younger.Several of her friends were getting married at the time when she was ill.“So at first,I would be drawing designs for wedding dresses and other clothes.But then I started drawing wedding footwear—designing shoes with blue soles which were very comfortable too.I thought it would be a lovely way of combining the ‘something old,something new,something borrowed,something blue’ tradition.Drawing really helped me deal with my treatment,” said the brave girl.

My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear.The bear was thin and small,moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting,“Dad!The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute.This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill.And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod(三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me.Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod stuck across its mouth.It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight.I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so,this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family,who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera,cutting it off the tripod.I raised my left arm to protect my face;the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side.My arm could not move,and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand,I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times.The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur,trying to push it away.I was actually wrestling(扭打) with the bear at this point.Then,as suddenly as it had begun,the fight ended.The bear moved back toward the forest,before returning for another attack.The first time I felt panic.Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved off,destroying a fence as it went.My arm was injured,but the outcome for us could hardly have been better.I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.
9.The whole text is mainly arranged in .
A.result and inference
B.cause and effect
C.space order
D.time order
10.When did the bear finally go away
A.After it felt safe.
B.After it got injured.
C.After it found some food.
D.After it took away the camera.

J.K.Rowling frequently shows there is magic every day.Her Harry Potter series has helped people through times of stress and depression and she is always there to deliver wise words of encouragement.
She is one celebrity who is very active on Twitter.So when a single dad named Matt Burke sent her a message thanking her for the series,she noticed.Her series had helped strengthen his relationship with his 9-year-old daughter Bailey.
He included a link to his article titled Being a Broke Parent.He explained how he hadn’t found a level of financial stability that allowed him to pay bills on time and take his daughter on more activities and events.The family also doesn’t have the Internet or TV,which means there’s no “digital babysitter” and he has to rely on his own creative ways to bond with his daughter.Since he received the series,the main thing that has occupied them these days is reading books together.
Burke admits that he thought he was “too cool” for the books when they first came out and he was in his twenties,but he’s loving reading them now.“We switch off chapter by chapter reading them out loud,” Burke explains.“This not only allows her to get more used to reading aloud in front of someone,but it gets me directly involved in something she loves,and it gives me the chance to be very dramatic when I read my chapters and bring myself into the characters in the book,which has proven to be a ton of fun.”
After hearing Burke’s story,Rowling said how honored she was when Harry Potter was a part of his family’s life and offered Burke more books.Besides,people are also offering to send Burke more books as gifts.For Burke,this experience,far more than gifts,will be what he treasures.
12.What is implied in Burke’s words in Paragraph 4
A.He has found it interesting to read the series.
B.He was too old to understand the series better.
C.He has chosen a better way of reading the series.
D.He hopes to play a role in the drama in the future.
13.Which word can best describe Burke’s experience according to the text
A.Unique. B.Normal.
C.Precious. D.Funny.
14.What is the main idea of this text
A.J.K.Rowling chooses to help improve kids’ health.
B.J.K.Rowling gives a magical gift to a single father.
C.J.K.Rowling has a deep influence on others’ growth.
D.Burke comes to know J.K.Rowling through her series.

How to Overcome Depression
Depression is a weakening condition that can make it impossible for you to enjoy your daily life.To overcome your depression,you have to first determine if what you’re feeling are the symptoms of depression. 1 While medications can help relieve these symptoms,it is still important for depressed people to understand the disorder and develop healthier strategies for coping with it.
Keep yourself busy.Fill your schedule with events and activities you love.Keeping a busy schedule will force you to stay active,focused,and thinking about the next thing on your list.You can draw up a schedule for each day at the start of the week,or simply plan out each day the night before. 2
Improve your diet. 3 Even if you’re losing your appetite,you need to be determined to eat three meals a day.You don’t need to try to lose weight or be incredibly health conscious when you’re dealing with your depression,but eating healthier food regularly will improve your mental and physical state.
Think positively.Being a more positive thinker will help you look at your life and world in a way that fills you with hope instead of despair.To think more positively,you should learn how to recognize your negative thoughts and to fight them with stronger positive thoughts whenever you can.For a jumpstart,find at least five things to be grateful for. 4
5 Neglecting personal hygiene (卫生) is a common side effect of depression.While you will not beat your depression by transforming your looks,if you take time to maintain your appearance and hygiene every day,you will feel better about yourself.Shower daily,brush your teeth and wash your hair.
A.Control your emotions.
B.Improve your appearance.
C.Most importantly,be happy about every single day.
D.Whichever method you choose,make a goal of sticking to it.
E.However,not everyone knows depression has a positive side.
F.Eating a healthy,balanced diet can also help you beat depression.
G.If you are feeling sad,lonely,or worthless,you may be suffering from depression.

Your Robot Teacher of the Future
Will your job be done by a robot in the future Bank of England economists predict that almost half of all UK jobs are under threat of automation.Those most at risk involve repetitive manual labour,such as factory positions.But could even the venerable profession of teaching soon have to compete against powerful electronic educators
At first glance,teaching might seem to be unaffected to replacement by robots.Teachers use a range of soft skills that machines find hard to replicate.They judge pupils’ needs and adapt feedback accordingly.They adapt materials to make them more attractive and effective.And they provide pastoral care:looking out for students who lag behind or disrupt the class.
Nonetheless,some believe the future of education will be technological.In an interview with Business Insider magazine,futurist Thomas Frey predicts that “by 2030 the largest company on the Internet is going to be an education-based company that we haven’t heard of yet.”
He thinks that “bots”—online robot teachers—will make education so efficient that students will be able to compress an entire undergraduate degree into six months of learning.A bot learns what your “interests” and “reference points” are,and it “figures out” how to teach you in a faster and faster way over time,according to Frey.
Whether or not such incredible speeds will be reached,over the last decade there has been a huge increase in online learning panies such as Udemy and Khan Academy produce courses that allow millions to learn at home for free at their own pace.But there are limitations.Without the face-to-face stimulation of a classroom environment,the overwhelming majority of students fail to complete online courses.How to sustain motivation to learn is one more skill that online teachers will need to master.
Indeed,Frey admits there is some way to go:“Nobody has quite cracked the code for the future of education.”What do teachers themselves think about this Professor Donald Clark from Derby University in the UK thinks that we should welcome change,even though people will lose their jobs.
“Artificial Intelligence will destroy jobs—so why not use it for a social good such as learning ”he asked.

Dear Charlie,
I’m delighted to know you are coming to China with your family during the Chinese Lunar New Year,which is a great chance for you to experience Chinese culture personally.Here I am writing to offer you some advice.
It would be a good idea if you could make some preparations before your travel.First of all,learn some simple Chinese,especially the daily expressions,which makes it easier for you to communicate with the locals wherever you go.Besides,getting yourself familiar with some Chinese local customs and traditions may help you behave properly during your stay in China.
I hope you will find my advice helpful.Wish you a pleasant journey in China.
Yours,
Li Hua

The article introduces the possibility of a robot teacher in the future.(要点1)Since robots may replace humans in factories,it is possible that teaching will be done by robots.(要点2)Teachers use soft skills such as feedback and personal care at classrooms.However,online robot teachers will know a learner’s weakness and strengths,so they provide efficient teaching.(要点3)Companies like Udemy and Khan Academy provide free courses online but students lack motivation to finish their lessons.(要点4)Anyway,AI is welcomed to do good to learning.(要点5)

Improve your diet. 3 Even if you’re losing your appetite,you need to be determined to eat three meals a day.You don’t need to try to lose weight or be incredibly health conscious when you’re dealing with your depression,but eating healthier food regularly will improve your mental and physical state.
Think positively.Being a more positive thinker will help you look at your life and world in a way that fills you with hope instead of despair.To think more positively,you should learn how to recognize your negative thoughts and to fight them with stronger positive thoughts whenever you can.For a jumpstart,find at least five things to be grateful for. 4
5 Neglecting personal hygiene (卫生) is a common side effect of depression.While you will not beat your depression by transforming your looks,if you take time to maintain your appearance and hygiene every day,you will feel better about yourself.Shower daily,brush your teeth and wash your hair.
A.Control your emotions.
B.Improve your appearance.
C.Most importantly,be happy about every single day.
D.Whichever method you choose,make a goal of sticking to it.
E.However,not everyone knows depression has a positive side.
F.Eating a healthy,balanced diet can also help you beat depression.
G.If you are feeling sad,lonely,or worthless,you may be suffering from depression.

第二节 概要写作（25分）
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Your Robot Teacher of the Future
Will your job be done by a robot in the future Bank of England economists predict that almost half of all UK jobs are under threat of automation.Those most at risk involve repetitive manual labour,such as factory positions.But could even the venerable profession of teaching soon have to compete against powerful electronic educators
At first glance,teaching might seem to be unaffected to replacement by robots.Teachers use a range of soft skills that machines find hard to replicate.They judge pupils’ needs and adapt feedback accordingly.They adapt materials to make them more attractive and effective.And they provide pastoral care:looking out for students who lag behind or disrupt the class.
Nonetheless,some believe the future of education will be technological.In an interview with Business Insider magazine,futurist Thomas Frey predicts that “by 2030 the largest company on the Internet is going to be an education-based company that we haven’t heard of yet.”
He thinks that “bots”—online robot teachers—will make education so efficient that students will be able to compress an entire undergraduate degree into six months of learning.A bot learns what your “interests” and “reference points” are,and it “figures out” how to teach you in a faster and faster way over time,according to Frey.
Whether or not such incredible speeds will be reached,over the last decade there has been a huge increase in online learning panies such as Udemy and Khan Academy produce courses that allow millions to learn at home for free at their own pace.But there are limitations.Without the face-to-face stimulation of a classroom environment,the overwhelming majority of students fail to complete online courses.How to sustain motivation to learn is one more skill that online teachers will need to master.
Indeed,Frey admits there is some way to go:“Nobody has quite cracked the code for the future of education.”What do teachers themselves think about this Professor Donald Clark from Derby University in the UK thinks that we should welcome change,even though people will lose their jobs.
“Artificial Intelligence will destroy jobs—so why not use it for a social good such as learning ”he asked.
