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。

Social media is one of the fastest-growing industries in today's world. A study conducted by the US Pew Research Center showed that 92 percent of teenagers go online daily. The wide spread of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers' lives.
· Changing relationships
High school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reduces face-to-face communication. “It makes in-person relationships harder because of people's attention given to their phones instead of their boyfriends or girlfriends，” Cooper said.
Yet, some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships with anyone from anywhere. Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long-distance friend through social media. He currently lives in Scotland, but they're still able to frequently communicate with each other. “I can feel close to someone that I'm talking to via FaceTime，” Kaplan said.
· Wanting to be “liked”
The rise of social media has changed the way teenagers see themselves. The 19 year old Essena O'Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she was quitting social media because it made her unable to stop thinking about appearing perfect online. Negative comments also can do great damage to a teenager's self-esteem. Teenagers who get negative comments can't help but feel hurt.
·Opening new doors
However, Armin Korsos, a student from Illinois, takes advantage of the comments he receives over social media to improve his videos on the social networking site YouTube. “Social media can help people show themselves and their talents to the world in a way that has never been possible before，” Korsos said.

As a star computer scientist, Cristina Fonseca had lots of job offers, but she turned them all down. She decided to start her own business Talkdesk. She lives in Portugal but does business all over the globe by using software.
The global economy works well for such people.
But the world of work has been less kind to other young folks. Florence Moreau, a young architect in Paris, had the double misfortune to leave university in 2009, when the world economy was on its knees; and to be French. “I really need a full time, permanent job，” she says. Under France's 3,800 page labour code, workers on permanent contracts receive generous benefits and are extremely hard to get rid of. So French firms have all but stopped hiring permanent staff: Four-fifths of new employees are on short-term contracts. Ms Moreau has had eight jobs, none lasting for longer than 16 months. With a small child at home, she has to keep looking for the next one. “It's tiring，” she sighs.
Joblessness matters. The longer people are out of work, the more their skills and their self-confidence atrophy, the less appealing they look to potential employers and the more likely they are to give up.
Trade unions often favour a minimum wage. This can help those who already have jobs, but if it is set too high it can crowd out those with the fewest skills and the least experience, who tend to be young.
A labour system where companies can hire and fire easily is urgently needed.
Making it easier for young people to start their own business is essential, too. They may be full of energy and open to new ideas.
Also, there is a huge mismatch everywhere between the skills that many young people can offer and the ones that employers need. Ms Fonseca says she cannot find the right talent for Talkdesk. As economies grow more complex, demand for practical skills will keep rising. The world's schools are not even close to meeting it.
8. What can we learn about Cristina Fonseca
A. She does business only in Portugal.
B. When seeking a job, she was refused many times by employers.
C. Her company is not related to information technology.
9. What does the underlined word “atrophy” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Increase. B. Shrink.
C. Overcome. D. Survive.
10. Why can't Moreau find a permanent job
A. Employers don't want to give workers good welfare.
B. She didn't finish university studies.
C. The world economy is booming.
D. The French government hasn't taken any measures for unemployment.
11. Which measure is actually useless for unemployment
A. Making labour rules more flexible.
B. Training students to gain skills.
C. Raising the minimum wage.
D. Encouraging young people to start companies.

Twelve-year-old Leonardo was born in a poor family in Bambamarca in Peru. He knew how to read but he had never seen a book in his life. So he asked the new priest (牧师) in his village to give him one. But there was no electricity.
So Leonardo borrowed candles from the church and sat up all night reading it. The next morning, he was at the door of the priest asking for another book to read.
John Medcalf, the priest, was moved. He also realized that people would love to read if given a chance. But he knew how difficult it was for Leonardo and those in his village to get books. And yet, no one can be taught to read and write without books. To make people in a poor, faraway area grow to love books，they have to be with them. So he thought the only way was to bring books to people.
But how could this be done Mobile libraries or car libraries would be too expensive and difficult to continue in the rocky, hilly land of Peru. So what other methods could be used
Medcalf got a new idea from the barefoot (赤脚) doctors of China. And that was how the barefoot librarians (图书管理员) first appeared in the villages of northern Peru，almost thirty years ago.
The librarians began by going from village to village, lending books to villagers. They helped start The Rural Library Network of Peru.
At first，they were teachers of the village schools which these faraway libraries belonged to. But the teachers were not very interested in the job because it meant a lot of hard work. So, village leaders took on the job themselves.
Today, there are 600 village libraries across Peru. The barefoot librarians who walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books are their lifeline.
12. The first paragraph tells us that Leonardo .
A. had a lot of books
B. bought candles from others
C. enjoyed reading books
D. lived in the church
13. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “ ”.
A. to grow to love books
B. to bring books to people
C. to read and write
D. to build a new library
14. The passage doesn't mention .
A. when the barefoot librarians appeared
B. who worked as village librarians at first
C. where Medcalf met Chinese doctors
D. how many village libraries Peru has today
15. It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that .
A. the first church in Peru was set up by John Medcalf
B. car libraries used to be popular in Leonardo's village
C. teachers were interested in bringing books to villagers
D. the barefoot librarians are important to village libraries

If you are like most people, you'd say that your mouth does most of your communicating. But you might be 41 (surprise) to learn how much you can say with other parts of your head. There are several types of messages that 42 (send) by using eyes and head.
Eye Contact
When people see someone they know quite well on the street, they may smile and make brief eye contact and then look away and continue on 43 saying a word. These gestures (手势) are another way of saying，“Hello, I'm glad to see you, but I don't have time 44 (talk) right now.”
When 45 (approach) someone on a narrow road, one usually looks 46 (brief) at other person's eyes and then looks at the part of the road he or she wants to use. The other person generally moves away from the part of the road.
Nodding the head
A very rapid up and down movement means，“I understand. Keep going.”
47 slightly slower nod means，“I understand. I agree with you.”
A very slow nod may communicate the message，“I understand, But I 48 (agree). ”
Tilting (使倾斜) the head
Head tilts also communicate different messages.
Turning the head so one ear faces the 49 (speak) and tilting the head a little means，“I'm interested and I'm listening carefully.”
Tilting the head back and to the side says，“I am thinking about 50 you said.”

As a star computer scientist, Cristina Fonseca had lots of job offers, but she turned them all down. She decided to start her own business Talkdesk. She lives in Portugal but does business all over the globe by using software.
The global economy works well for such people.
But the world of work has been less kind to other young folks. Florence Moreau, a young architect in Paris, had the double misfortune to leave university in 2009, when the world economy was on its knees; and to be French. “I really need a full time, permanent job，” she says. Under France's 3,800 page labour code, workers on permanent contracts receive generous benefits and are extremely hard to get rid of. So French firms have all but stopped hiring permanent staff: Four-fifths of new employees are on short-term contracts. Ms Moreau has had eight jobs, none lasting for longer than 16 months. With a small child at home, she has to keep looking for the next one. “It's tiring，” she sighs.
Joblessness matters. The longer people are out of work, the more their skills and their self-confidence atrophy, the less appealing they look to potential employers and the more likely they are to give up.
Trade unions often favour a minimum wage. This can help those who already have jobs, but if it is set too high it can crowd out those with the fewest skills and the least experience, who tend to be young.
A labour system where companies can hire and fire easily is urgently needed.
Making it easier for young people to start their own business is essential, too. They may be full of energy and open to new ideas.
Also, there is a huge mismatch everywhere between the skills that many young people can offer and the ones that employers need. Ms Fonseca says she cannot find the right talent for Talkdesk. As economies grow more complex, demand for practical skills will keep rising. The world's schools are not even close to meeting it.

10. Why can't Moreau find a permanent job

Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 18 If you must say no to your child's request to spend money, explain，“You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say，“You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
19
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out similar brands of a product — a name brand butter and a generic (无商标产品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 20 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves money for other purchases.
A. Wise decision
B. The value of money
C. Permit the child to choose between them.
D. Tell your child why he can or cannot have certain things.
E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.
F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave toy store.
G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.

20. 选C 根据“If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved”可知，如果孩子选择了较便宜的商品，那么可以允许他用省下来的钱买其他的东西，说明这里讲的是让孩子自己做出选择，C选项符合，故选C。

语篇解读：本文属于记叙文，内容较为简单。叙述了Bill随着父亲到叔叔家的农场拍动物照片的准备过程。
21. A. busy B. spare
C. enough D. limited
解析：选B busy“忙碌的”；spare“空闲的”；enough“足够的”；limited“有限的”。句意：Bill White的父亲是一个律师，在空闲时间里，他喜欢到乡下去拍摄动物的图片。他的工作是律师，到乡下去只能是在空闲的时间。故B正确。
22. A. foods B. drawings
C. paintings D. pictures
解析：选D 根据32空后“he was going out to take pictures with his father”可知他的父亲到乡下去的目的是为了拍照片。故D正确。
23. A. trips B. buses
C. holidays D. mountains
解析：选A trip“旅行”；bus“公交车”；holiday“假期”；mountain“山脉”。Bill的父亲到乡下去拍照片，这属于短途的旅行，所以使用trip。B、C、D三项与上下文不符。
24. A. after B. when
C. until D. unless
解析：选C not ... until ... “直到……才……”。句意：但是他的父亲直到Bill 15岁的时候才带他一起去。之前一直不带他去。连词短语not ... until ...引导的是时间状语从句。

C. got D. belonged
解析：选D lead to“导致”；stick to“坚持”；get to“到达”；belong to“属于”。句意：他和Bill驾车来到属于他叔叔的农场。根据句意可知D正确，其余三项语义不搭配。

27. A. start B. begin
C. walk D. step

28. A. telephone B. machine
C. bell D. clock
解析：选D 根据“He turned over and looked at the clock”可知当他听见闹钟声音的时候天还是黑的。故the alarm clock符合上下文串联。
29. A. where B. how
C. who D. what
解析：选A 句意：他想知道为什么要这么早就起来，他记不得自己在什么地方。这两句说明早晨起来的时候Bill还处于一种不清醒的状态中。根据句意可知A正确。
30. A. quickly B. sleepily
C. quietly D. suddenly
解析：选B quickly“迅速地”；sleepily“困倦地”；quietly“安静地”；suddenly“突然地”。他困倦地转过来看了闹钟，只是早晨5点钟。该副词准确地说明Bill醒来时的状态。故B正确。
31. A. imagined B. pronounced

32. A. mountain B. town
C. farm D. station

36. A. many B. soundly
C. much D. highly
解析：选C 根据下文“because they didn't want to up the other people in the house.”因为他们不想吵醒别人，所以他们并没有说太多的话。使用much修饰动词talk。故C正确。
37. A. wake B. go
C. put D. come
解析：选A wake up“唤醒，吵醒”；go up“上升，上涨”；put up“张贴，搭建”；come up“发芽”。句意：他们并没有交谈太多，因为他们不想吵醒别人。故A正确。

Ⅳ.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
If you are like most people, you'd say that your mouth does most of your communicating. But you might be 41 (surprise) to learn how much you can say with other parts of your head. There are several types of messages that 42 (send) by using eyes and head.
Eye Contact
When people see someone they know quite well on the street, they may smile and make brief eye contact and then look away and continue on 43 saying a word. These gestures (手势) are another way of saying，“Hello, I'm glad to see you, but I don't have time 44 (talk) right now.”
When 45 (approach) someone on a narrow road, one usually looks 46 (brief) at other person's eyes and then looks at the part of the road he or she wants to use. The other person generally moves away from the part of the road.
Nodding the head
A very rapid up and down movement means，“I understand. Keep going.”
47 slightly slower nod means，“I understand. I agree with you.”
A very slow nod may communicate the message，“I understand, But I 48 (agree). ”
Tilting (使倾斜) the head
Head tilts also communicate different messages.
Turning the head so one ear faces the 49 (speak) and tilting the head a little means，“I'm interested and I'm listening carefully.”
Tilting the head back and to the side says，“I am thinking about 50 you said.”
答案：41.surprised 42.are sent 43.without 44.to talk 45.approaching 46.briefly 47.A 48.disagree/don't agree 49.speaker 50.what

参考范文：
Dear Li Ming，
How time flies! It is a year since I came to London for further study. Now I want to tell you some differences between London and Beijing.
Here cars are driven on the left side of the road, but in our country on the right side. Many people here go to work by car or by underground, while most people in Beijing go to work by bike. The climate of Beijing is much better than that of London. The weather in Beijing is fine for long periods, but London has so many cloudy days. People here work five days a week just as in Beijing. Students here don't make full use of their time and very few people know Chinese. Students in Beijing work hard at their lessons and many people can speak English.
That's all. Best wishes to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
