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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there’s no shouting and no running, and you aren’t allowed to touch the exhibits (展品). But the Science Museum is different, because it’s noisy! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it’s a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.
When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.
Then 1 go upstairs to Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button (按钮). If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.
There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and chemistry.
You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.
Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as you like—it’s open every day, from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It’s my favourite museum in the whole world.
21. What is the writer’s favourite room
A. The Launch Pad. B. The rooms on space technology.
C. The Human and Nature room. D. The Rocket Show.
22. What can’t you do in the Science Museum
A. Touch the machines. B. Do chemistry experiments.
C. Take photos of the exhibits. D. Talk loudly about what you see.
23. How much does it cost to go into the Science Museum
A. $10 for adults. B. $6 for children. C. Only free for children. D. Free for everyone.
24. How long can you stay at the Science Museum
A. 6 hours. B. 8 hours. C. 10 hours. D. 12 hours.
B
In times of distress (痛苦), a friend would always suggest going for a walk. “Are you tired of your work Take a stroll (散步) around the neighborhood.” Comments like this are often said with nothing but the best of intentions (意图), but they used to make me angry as much as being told to drink more water. I did not understand how these things were going to help.
Three years ago, I hit a low point. Once I saw a pair of empty eyes looking at me through the mirror, I knew I was at my breaking point (极限). So, I took the advice I fought so hard to ignore. I went for a walk-with the hope that it would somehow change my life.
I embraced (拥抱) the fresh air everyone seemed to be talking about. But it did nothing. I was just as sad as I was before. I went on a walk every single day for more than a month. Some days I could hardly make it outside, but I managed to push through. I took a picture every time I went. I think I wanted to document (记录) myself trying to make an effort.
One day, the unthinkable happened. I found myself smiling. I realized I had patiently waited all morning to go on this walk. What I once hated had become the best part of my day. I found myself longing (渴望) to be outside. I never had a destination in mind. I just danced along the trails (小路), stopped to look at the beautiful blue sky and listened to music.
I’m glad I took pictures because there was a noticeable difference in my face. I slowly started to look less tired and defeated. I don’t know why I refused to go on that walk for so long. I guess I didn’t want to believe that something small and seemingly meaningless could actually make an impact on my physical and mental well-being.
If you’re having a bad day, a bad month, a bad year or even a bad life, you should try going for a walk. Sometimes, all we need to do is try.
25. How did the author use to feel when people suggested she go for a walk
A. Delighted. B. Annoyed. C. Thankful. D. Confused.
26. Why did the author decide to go for a walk three years ago
A. Her friend encouraged her. B. She wanted to challenge herself.
C. She was eager to get close to nature. D. Her hopelessness drove her to try.
27. What happened after the author started to go for a walk
A. She felt cheered up after the first week. B. She always set off with a destination in mind.
C. She was inspired by the pictures she took of herself. D. She stopped for a while due to lack of progress.
28. What does the author advise us to do
A. Stay positive when bad things happen. B. Care about our mental well-being.
C. Take other people’s suggestions seriously. D. Go for a walk when feeling down.
C
To stream or not to stream (流式传输) That is a question facing both music listeners and musicians.
Taylor Swift made news recently by pulling her music off Spotify, the world’s biggest streaming music service (流媒体音乐服务) and turned to iTunes downloading and stores for sales. Back in July, Swift swept the pop music industry by selling almost 1.3 million copies of her album, 1989 in its first week. In an article Swift wrote, “The music industry is not dying... it’s just coming alive.”
Her cheerful attitude surely comes from her own unique position. So far this year, Swift has made $64 million, according to Forbes. She’ll make plenty more by bringing in about 70 cents for each dollar paid to download her music. It is much more than the royalty (版税) rate paid out by Spotify of between $0.006 and $0.0084 per song stream.
According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), money from streaming on YouTube, Pandora and Spotify has helped bring in more money. But the small amount Spotify pays to musicians still caused many of them to withhold some or all of their music from the service, like artists from Beyoncé to The Beatles.
Yet for bands struggling to get by, struggling even to be heard, keeping their music off streaming services is not so easy. Such bands need to get their music out any way they can, and if they’re going to make money, they need to make their music easily accessible to listeners.
To stream or not to stream is a difficult choice for fans, too. The streaming model puts ownership (所权) of the music in the hands of the music industry. Rather than letting you own your collection, the music business is moving toward a model similar to on-demand cable TV. Every song written is available online whenever and wherever you’d like to hear, but the problem is that you, the user, need to pay over and over again each time you stream it.
29. Why did Taylor Swift say “music industry is coming alive”
A. Because she got a unique position in music industry.
B. Because her new album made a great offline success.
C. Because the birth of streaming brings great chances to music.
D. Because Spotify becomes the world’s biggest streaming music service.
30. What does the underlined word ”withhold” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. keep back. B. pick out. C. hold onto. D. put away.
31. What can we learn from the text
A. Taylor Swift promotes free music streaming.
B. Streaming puts ownership of music in the hands of fans.
C. Some bands still depend on streaming for chances to be heard.
D. Fans can own music with a once-for-all pay on streaming platforms.
32. What can be a suitable title for this text
A. The Music Industry Is Coming Alive
B. Streaming Leaves Musicians and Fans in a Dilemma
C. To Pay or Not to Pay: a Tough Choice for Music Fans
D. The Rise of Streaming: a Threat or Opportunity for the Music Industry
第二节 七选五 (共5小题: 每小题2分, 满分10分)
根据文章内容, 从文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余项。
There are a lot of reasons why we may have to get up early. Maybe it’s for work, or maybe it’s to get your kids ready for school. 33 But if you’re not naturally a morning person, how can you wake up early Here are some ways to help you.
Light.
The most powerful way to get your body feeling awake is to expose yourself to light. When you’re exposed to bright sunlight, your hormone (激素) tells the body, “Hey, it’s time to be awake.” 34 Those lights will signal to your body that it’s still daytime, which definitely won’t help if you’re trying to go to bed on time for an early wake-up.
Naps.
35 Sleep doctors call that a “sleep debt,” and just like credit card debt, it has to get repaid for your body to function well. If it doesn’t, you might end up suffering the more serious consequences of sleep deprivation. Naps are a great way to squeeze in some extra shut-eye. Sleep studies show naps even as short as 10 minutes can make a difference! 36 If we nap too late, too close to bedtime, then it’ll make it hand for us to go to sleep at night.
37
Create an encouragement to get out of bed in the morning. Maybe that’s a mindfulness exercise to remind yourself of who or what you’re waking up early for. Something as simple as promising yourself a nice breakfast as soon as you get out of bed can do the trick.
A. Reward yourself.
B. Be strict with yourself.
C. For some people, waking up early just feels natural.
D. So don’t expose your eyes to bright lights at night.
E. Try waking up even a few minutes earlier than you need to.
F. Waking up early often means that we wake up sleep deprived (被剥夺).
G. Try to keep naps under an hour and toward the middle of the day or earlier in the afternoon.

An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.
“How was school, Kayla ” asked her mom.
“It was great, Mom, I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh ” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.
Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped her eyes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today Isn’t Labor Day a holiday ”

① Students who are in favor of it are in the majority. 35 percent of them hold the view that Internet slang is vivid and fashionable. ②33 percent of them decide that they can enjoy its humor and intelligence when using it. In addition, 23 percent of the students believe it makes chatting on the internet more convenient. On the contrary, a small number of them think Internet slang lacks depth of thought, and it’s too casual. Besides, it is hard for most people to understand and accept this kind of slang. ③If used too much in a passage, it may confuse readers and even cause misunderstanding.
In my opinion, now we are living in the Information Age, so if we are not familiar with internet slang, we’re likely to fall behind.

At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday. How eagerly she wanted to go out to play with her friends! Despite her great dissatisfaction, she had no choice but to do as arranged. First, Kayla was told to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath, which was a big annoyance to her. She pursed her lips and muttered, “This is the last thing I want to do.” She went into the bathroom reluctantly, picked up the brush and began the work.
But things began to change as she was doing the chores. While brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then followed the task with the yard where Kayla collected sticks. She supposed the small sticks basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. Soon the work was done. Kayla was so proud to see how orderly the yard looked. The lemonade tasted sweeter after a hard day of work.

M: Polar bears are the beautiful, iconic animals we associate with the Arctic. But the existence of these animals is at risk. Climate change is causing the polar bear population to decrease sharply. According to a study, the animals may die out in the next 100 years. Polar bears use sea ice to hunt for food, mainly seals. But as the ice continues to melt, it becomes more difficult for them to do so.
Polar bear cubs will not survive because their mothers will not have enough body fat to produce milk to bring them along through the ice-free season, Dr Steven Amstrup, chief scientist of Polar Bears International, told BBC News.
With such a severe situation at hand, many people are doing whatever they can to help.

第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节, 满分40分)
第一节 (共12小题: 每小题2. 5分, 满分30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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there’s no shouting and no running, and you aren’t allowed to touch the exhibits (展品). But the Science Museum is different, because it’s noisy! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it’s a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.
When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.
Then 1 go upstairs to Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button (按钮). If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.
There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and chemistry.
You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.
Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as you like—it’s open every day, from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It’s my favourite museum in the whole world.
21. What is the writer’s favourite room
A. The Launch Pad. B. The rooms on space technology.
C. The Human and Nature room. D. The Rocket Show.
22. What can’t you do in the Science Museum
A. Touch the machines. B. Do chemistry experiments.
C. Take photos of the exhibits. D. Talk loudly about what you see.
23. How much does it cost to go into the Science Museum
A. $10 for adults. B. $6 for children. C. Only free for children. D. Free for everyone.
24. How long can you stay at the Science Museum
A. 6 hours. B. 8 hours. C. 10 hours. D. 12 hours.
B
In times of distress (痛苦), a friend would always suggest going for a walk. “Are you tired of your work Take a stroll (散步) around the neighborhood.” Comments like this are often said with nothing but the best of intentions (意图), but they used to make me angry as much as being told to drink more water. I did not understand how these things were going to help.
Three years ago, I hit a low point. Once I saw a pair of empty eyes looking at me through the mirror, I knew I was at my breaking point (极限). So, I took the advice I fought so hard to ignore. I went for a walk-with the hope that it would somehow change my life.
I embraced (拥抱) the fresh air everyone seemed to be talking about. But it did nothing. I was just as sad as I was before. I went on a walk every single day for more than a month. Some days I could hardly make it outside, but I managed to push through. I took a picture every time I went. I think I wanted to document (记录) myself trying to make an effort.
One day, the unthinkable happened. I found myself smiling. I realized I had patiently waited all morning to go on this walk. What I once hated had become the best part of my day. I found myself longing (渴望) to be outside. I never had a destination in mind. I just danced along the trails (小路), stopped to look at the beautiful blue sky and listened to music.
I’m glad I took pictures because there was a noticeable difference in my face. I slowly started to look less tired and defeated. I don’t know why I refused to go on that walk for so long. I guess I didn’t want to believe that something small and seemingly meaningless could actually make an impact on my physical and mental well-being.
If you’re having a bad day, a bad month, a bad year or even a bad life, you should try going for a walk. Sometimes, all we need to do is try.
25. How did the author use to feel when people suggested she go for a walk
A. Delighted. B. Annoyed. C. Thankful. D. Confused.
26. Why did the author decide to go for a walk three years ago
A. Her friend encouraged her. B. She wanted to challenge herself.
C. She was eager to get close to nature. D. Her hopelessness drove her to try.
27. What happened after the author started to go for a walk
A. She felt cheered up after the first week. B. She always set off with a destination in mind.
C. She was inspired by the pictures she took of herself. D. She stopped for a while due to lack of progress.
28. What does the author advise us to do
A. Stay positive when bad things happen. B. Care about our mental well-being.
C. Take other people’s suggestions seriously. D. Go for a walk when feeling down.
C
To stream or not to stream (流式传输) That is a question facing both music listeners and musicians.
Taylor Swift made news recently by pulling her music off Spotify, the world’s biggest streaming music service (流媒体音乐服务) and turned to iTunes downloading and stores for sales. Back in July, Swift swept the pop music industry by selling almost 1.3 million copies of her album, 1989 in its first week. In an article Swift wrote, “The music industry is not dying... it’s just coming alive.”
Her cheerful attitude surely comes from her own unique position. So far this year, Swift has made $64 million, according to Forbes. She’ll make plenty more by bringing in about 70 cents for each dollar paid to download her music. It is much more than the royalty (版税) rate paid out by Spotify of between $0.006 and $0.0084 per song stream.
According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), money from streaming on YouTube, Pandora and Spotify has helped bring in more money. But the small amount Spotify pays to musicians still caused many of them to withhold some or all of their music from the service, like artists from Beyoncé to The Beatles.
Yet for bands struggling to get by, struggling even to be heard, keeping their music off streaming services is not so easy. Such bands need to get their music out any way they can, and if they’re going to make money, they need to make their music easily accessible to listeners.
To stream or not to stream is a difficult choice for fans, too. The streaming model puts ownership (所权) of the music in the hands of the music industry. Rather than letting you own your collection, the music business is moving toward a model similar to on-demand cable TV. Every song written is available online whenever and wherever you’d like to hear, but the problem is that you, the user, need to pay over and over again each time you stream it.
29. Why did Taylor Swift say “music industry is coming alive”
A. Because she got a unique position in music industry.
B. Because her new album made a great offline success.
C. Because the birth of streaming brings great chances to music.
D. Because Spotify becomes the world’s biggest streaming music service.
30. What does the underlined word ”withhold” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. keep back. B. pick out. C. hold onto. D. put away.
31. What can we learn from the text
A. Taylor Swift promotes free music streaming.
B. Streaming puts ownership of music in the hands of fans.
C. Some bands still depend on streaming for chances to be heard.
D. Fans can own music with a once-for-all pay on streaming platforms.
32. What can be a suitable title for this text
A. The Music Industry Is Coming Alive
B. Streaming Leaves Musicians and Fans in a Dilemma
C. To Pay or Not to Pay: a Tough Choice for Music Fans
D. The Rise of Streaming: a Threat or Opportunity for the Music Industry
第二节 七选五 (共5小题: 每小题2分, 满分10分)
根据文章内容, 从文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余项。
There are a lot of reasons why we may have to get up early. Maybe it’s for work, or maybe it’s to get your kids ready for school. 33 But if you’re not naturally a morning person, how can you wake up early Here are some ways to help you.
Light.
The most powerful way to get your body feeling awake is to expose yourself to light. When you’re exposed to bright sunlight, your hormone (激素) tells the body, “Hey, it’s time to be awake.” 34 Those lights will signal to your body that it’s still daytime, which definitely won’t help if you’re trying to go to bed on time for an early wake-up.
Naps.
35 Sleep doctors call that a “sleep debt,” and just like credit card debt, it has to get repaid for your body to function well. If it doesn’t, you might end up suffering the more serious consequences of sleep deprivation. Naps are a great way to squeeze in some extra shut-eye. Sleep studies show naps even as short as 10 minutes can make a difference! 36 If we nap too late, too close to bedtime, then it’ll make it hand for us to go to sleep at night.
37
Create an encouragement to get out of bed in the morning. Maybe that’s a mindfulness exercise to remind yourself of who or what you’re waking up early for. Something as simple as promising yourself a nice breakfast as soon as you get out of bed can do the trick.
A. Reward yourself.
B. Be strict with yourself.
C. For some people, waking up early just feels natural.
D. So don’t expose your eyes to bright lights at night.
E. Try waking up even a few minutes earlier than you need to.
F. Waking up early often means that we wake up sleep deprived (被剥夺).
G. Try to keep naps under an hour and toward the middle of the day or earlier in the afternoon.

Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off,” said the teacher to her class. An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.
“How was school, Kayla ” asked her mom.
“It was great, Mom, I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh ” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.
Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped her eyes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today Isn’t Labor Day a holiday ”

① Students who are in favor of it are in the majority. 35 percent of them hold the view that Internet slang is vivid and fashionable. ②33 percent of them decide that they can enjoy its humor and intelligence when using it. In addition, 23 percent of the students believe it makes chatting on the internet more convenient. On the contrary, a small number of them think Internet slang lacks depth of thought, and it’s too casual. Besides, it is hard for most people to understand and accept this kind of slang. ③If used too much in a passage, it may confuse readers and even cause misunderstanding.
In my opinion, now we are living in the Information Age, so if we are not familiar with internet slang, we’re likely to fall behind.

At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday. How eagerly she wanted to go out to play with her friends! Despite her great dissatisfaction, she had no choice but to do as arranged. First, Kayla was told to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath, which was a big annoyance to her. She pursed her lips and muttered, “This is the last thing I want to do.” She went into the bathroom reluctantly, picked up the brush and began the work.
But things began to change as she was doing the chores. While brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then followed the task with the yard where Kayla collected sticks. She supposed the small sticks basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. Soon the work was done. Kayla was so proud to see how orderly the yard looked. The lemonade tasted sweeter after a hard day of work.

M: Polar bears are the beautiful, iconic animals we associate with the Arctic. But the existence of these animals is at risk. Climate change is causing the polar bear population to decrease sharply. According to a study, the animals may die out in the next 100 years. Polar bears use sea ice to hunt for food, mainly seals. But as the ice continues to melt, it becomes more difficult for them to do so.
Polar bear cubs will not survive because their mothers will not have enough body fat to produce milk to bring them along through the ice-free season, Dr Steven Amstrup, chief scientist of Polar Bears International, told BBC News.
With such a severe situation at hand, many people are doing whatever they can to help.
