一、填空题
Today English learners have a wide choice of dictionaries. There are dictionaries with American English, with B English, with idioms, and even with pictures. One of the most popular dictionaries among students is electronic (电子的) dictionaries. All you have to do is to type (打字) in a word in your language and you can see it and h it in English. That's great, right Well, I think it's great too, but only sometimes.
Bilingual (双语的) electronic dictionaries are f and easy. They can be great when you are travelling and need information quickly. But I am against electronic dictionaries and even bilingual paper dictionaries in many cases (情形). Let me e .
When you have known enough of English, you can ask the meaning of certain things w using the language. It takes time to translate between languages in your head. You should translate as l as possible and think in English as much as possible. I recommend that high-level students should use an English-English dictionary made e for your understanding. For example, Longman has a good dictionary for students.
I also feel that p dictionaries are better for studying than electronic dictionaries. True, they take longer to use. But, for some reason, the information you look up seems to stay in your head longer. It may be because you are f to spell the word in your head and therefore "see it" more clearly in your mind.
So what do you do if you've checked an English-English dictionary and s don't understand something Go to your bilingual dictionary. It is useful sometimes. Just remember to try to stay in English as much as possible.

What do you use to unlock your cellphone A password A fingerprint Or simply a glance (一瞥)
On Sept 12, 2017, Apple introduced its iPhone X which has an eye-catching feature (特色)—Face ID.
W Face ID, Apple says, you can unlock your new iPhone by just looking at it. It is powered by a so-called True Depth camera system build into the front of the iPhone X. When the camera system sees a person's face, it uses 30,000 unseen dots (点) to "map" (勾画) the s and outline of the face. A mathematical model of the face will then be c and stored in the phone.
The next time the person looks at the iPhone X, the same dots are mapped onto his or her face and compared to the stored model. If the two m , then the phone unlocks. This happens in l than a second. Apple says the system is smart. If you change your hairstyle, put on sunglasses or makeup, or use the phone in the dark, Face ID s works.
Although the technology sounds fantastic, there are also w . For example, will Face ID work for twins According to Apple, the c of others to unlock your iPhone X using Face ID is one in a million. Face ID can tell the difference between twins, b the error rating (出错率) rises. So one would need to set a password then.
Apple also says that Face ID only unlocks when you stare (盯着) at it. It is what Apple calls "attention aware". So the phone w unlock if you are just glancing at the phone for the time. It won't work either if someone puts the phone at your sleeping face or your photo.

Greenland is a huge island in the far, far north of the world. The weather there is very cold. Even the "hottest" summer day on Greenland is like a cool w day in England. In summer, the sun never goes down; it is light all through the night. The warmest part of the island is on the south coast where most Greenlanders live. However, it is s a very hard place to live because of the cold.
Over the years, different groups of people have tried to live in Greenland, but most found it too d . One man who did live there, and one of the most famous Greenlanders, was "Erik the Red". Erik's name might have come from the c of his hair and beard (胡须). About 1000 years ago, Erik sailed away from his home in Iceland to a great big ice-covered island. This island had no name yet and no one lived there, so Erik made it his h .
The old stories of Iceland say that Erik became bored and l and wanted to persuade (说服) other people to come and live on this freezing-cold island with him. Erik had an idea. He called the island "Greenland" and said that it was lovely, warm and…green. His trick w . When the people from Iceland heard about this perfect place called "Greenland", about 300 of them set off to j Erik.
Although life was hard, these people lived on Greenland for many years. They built houses that were w and strong from stone, wood and turf (草皮). They planted crops and kept cows, goats and sheep which they had brought from Iceland. However, 500 years later, there was n left of Erik and his friends in Greenland. What happened to them is still a mystery.

二、阅读理解题（共5题）
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的选项中，选择最佳选项。
When something goes wrong, it can be very pleasing to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's mistake." or "I know I'm late, but it's not my mistake; the bus was late." It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming (责怪) somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you start paying attention to how to improve the situation. This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at solving problems. For example, if you were late because the bus was late, maybe you need to leave home early. Or, you might call a taxi or call friends for help when in need. For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for short of responsibility (责任心) or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability. Ask to work with a different person, or leave this person with some simple jobs. You should accept that the person is not reliable (可靠的).
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and wisdom so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and chances to develop their own ability. So, stop paying attention to "whose mistake it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
(1) According to the passage, winners _____.
A．have responsible and able workmates
B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C．blame themselves rather than others

(2) When your workmate brings about a problem, you should _____.
A．blame him for his short of responsibility
B．find a better way to overcome the problem
C．tell him to find the cause of the problem
D．ask a more able workmate for help
(3) When problems happen, winners take them as _____.
A．excuses for their mistakes B．difficulties to greater power
C．chances for self-development D．challenges to their workmates
(4) Which of the following is the best title for the passage？
A．A Winner's Secret B．A Winner's Problem
C．A Winner's Chance D．A Winner's Achievement

Do you love to travel and enjoy writing about your experiences In fact, whenever we see something new, we wish to write it down in one form or another. We will be happier if we share our experiences with others. Then how can we write better travel stories The following may be useful.
Memory and notes
Don't believe your memory. You may have a good memory, but you cannot remember everything. You are seeing and hearing so much information while you're on a trip. When you come back to write about your travel stories, you may forget something. So you should make notes, take photographs, and if possible, take videos. In this way, you can describe your travel and write it down without missing anything.
Photographs and your stories
Photographs are very helpful for you to remember what you have seen. As you see the photographs, you can describe your experiences easily by remembering the feeling when you took them.
When you are writing about your travel stories, make sure they are not too short as your readers may not get the full impressions of them and make sure they are not so long that the reader may get bored.

For me, living in Canada for 25 years, China is a new world that I have longed to explore (探索). This spring, I chose Yangzhou to be my first stop on a 16-month trip around China. At 15, I bought a book of collection of poems about Tang Dynasty. Through it, I heard of Yangzhou for the first time. I was deeply attracted (吸引) by a poem written by Li Bai—"Sailing to Yangzhou in March".
Yangzhou, sitting 2,500 years at the crossing of the Yangtze River and the 2,400-year-old Grand Canal (大运河), is one of the first 24 historic and cultural cities in China. In the old town, there are many ancient streets and houses. Visiting the city in spring is better than in the other seasons. Spring paints the city in bright colors.
Yangzhou has always been famous for its gardens. Among them, the Slender West Lake, one of the biggest attractions in the city, was my first stop. The park with its fantastic landscape and lots of history has enough to keep a tourist busy for the whole day. What a shame I simply could afford half a day!
My next stop was He Garden, one of the best protected gardens in Yangzhou. It was once owned by the family of He Zhidao in Qing Dynasty. He Zhidao successfully brought Chinese and Western Architectural (建筑的) features together.
Yangzhou is also the starting point of the Grand Canal tour. Taking a boat along the part of the canal in Yangzhou, I was amazed at the liveliness of this ancient waterway and the city's history and culture.
Luckily, my two-day trip to Yangzhou was filled with pleasure and wonder. It made me hungry for more China.
Exploring China in Yangzhou
Reasons for _____ Yangzhou What attracted me to this city was a famous poem by Li Bai.
Brief introductions to Yangzhou ● It is a historic and cultural city with a long history and many ancient streets and houses. ● Spring is the _____ time to visit Yangzhou.
_____ in Yangzhou Slender West Lake ● I first visited the Slender West Lake ● Tourists may spend a day in the park because of its fantastic landscape and history.

Grand Canal ● I took a boat trip along the canal in Yangzhou and wondered at the _____ ancient waterway. ● The Grand Canal enjoys a history for over two thousand years.

CCTV reported that every year Chinese people throw away a lot of food, and it can feed about 200 million people for a year.
Do we have too much food Of course not. According to the UN World Food Programme, there were about 900 million hungry people in the world in 2013. About six million children die of hunger every year.
So think about it. We should say no to the people who waste food every day. An old saying goes, "Every grain on the plate comes from hard work." It tells us everybody must save food.
Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, lost her job because she took some leftover (剩余的) food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized (批评) the waste of food.
What should we do in our daily life to stop wasting food We can do many things to prevent it from happening. Here are some tips:
Don't order too much food in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat up all the food you order, take the rest of it home.
Don't be too picky (挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.
Don't keep too much food at home, especially fruit and vegetables.
(1) How many hungry people were there all over the world in 2013
(2) Why did Li Hong lose her job
(3) What should you do if you can't eat up all the food you ask for
(4) Can we keep too much food at home
(5) What's the main idea of the passage

Lizzie's diary from Antarctica (南极洲)
Day 3: Tuesday, December 2
We planned to go to the Rothera that morning. We'd be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth, sometimes you can't fly at all.
We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we'd be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.
It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air, there was still a chance we wouldn't be able to fly the whole day.
Day 4: Wednesday, December 3
After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.
We're staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It's about minus 2℃ today, which for me is very cold, but the regulars (常客) here are often seen walking around in T-shirts!
Day 5: Thursday, December 4
I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic. I'm told it's a bit colder today, about minus 5℃, but it's not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course before we're allowed to go off base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.
Day 7: Saturday, December 6
Not a cloud in the sky and it's warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket).
The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery (风景) changes every day. At first I thought I was going mad. I'd step outside in the morning and think, " I'm sure that big mountain of ice wasn't there yesterday." It's because the sea ice is always moving— slowly thankfully!
(1) Lizzie sat outside wearing a jacket on _____.
A．Tuesday B．Wednesday C．Thursday D．Saturday
(2) What could stop Lizzie from leaving Stanley for Rothera
A．Strong winds. B．Thick clouds.
C．Mountains of ice. D．Low temperatures.
(3) How did Lizzie feel during her stay in the Antarctic
A．Afraid. B．Nervous. C．Amazed. D．Bored.
(4) What impressed Lizzie most about Rothera was that _____.
A．people walked around in T-shirts
B．there was a special training course
C．the weather was sometimes warm
D．the scenery changed every day

(9) 考查动词。根据句意，可能是因为你_____你头脑中去拼写单词，因此在你脑子里看得更清晰。可知需要用一个动词，表示“强迫”，用 force，结合前面有被动词 are，这里需要动词的过去分词，构成被动语态，被动语态结构是 be+动词的过去分词，所以填入 forced。表达出“你被迫在头脑中拼写单词，因此在你脑子里看得更清晰”。
