I can remember clearly the day I arrived at the language camp where something magical
happened to me.
My heart was beating fast and I really wanted to tell my 1 to turn around, but we were
entering the gate and I knew it was too late. I was going to be dropped off and 2 by myself at
the age of nine for a whole week. At the gate to Skogfjorden, people started talking to me in
Norwegian(挪威语 ). What had I gotten myself into I couldn't understand any other 3 but
English. We then went through the welcome stations where I picked a new name and had my bags
checked. Next, I was sent to my room. I was upset all the time, wondering 4 I really could
survive the whole week. Mom helped me unpack and organize my stuff, but then she had to leave. I
was terrified to tears. But by the time I got back to my room where my roommate, Bob, was waiting
for me with a smiling face, my eyes were 5 .
I was so scared the first night that I had to call Mom, 6 she insisted I should learn to be
independent. Right when I was feeling helpless, Bob's mom called and her words comforted me,
“Isn't it 7 to know a bunch of kids of your age ” So it was! Leaving home meant I could
connect with the rest of the world, know new people and explore new things. With this thought, the
8 began. Communicating in every way I could, I even found it 9 to get along with others.
What's more, I learned a lot of Norwegian in only five days and grew to 10 this place. When
my mom came to get me, I was excited to 11 her around all my favorite places. After the
closing ceremony, I was so 12 to leave Skogfjorden and my new friends that I burst into
tears again. I knew that I had to 13 the next summer—I was hooked(着迷的).
Now, having been to Skogfjorden eight summers in a row, I cannot wait to 14 my little
brothers to camp this summer. Maybe someday I will be a volunteer there to help kids take their first
independent step away from home. I 15 know how they feel as their parents drop them off.
I'm sure some of them will also become hooked on such experiences.

These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year”between their graduation
from school and their university studies. This means they can take a year off to do something else,
before they start their studies.
For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favorite activity --- and Australia is
the favorite place to go. Many parents, teachers and business people agree that travelling can teach
important values. “After a year of travelling, I felt I’d grown up. I had learnt the importance of
relationships with people, on all kinds of levels.”
There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their
projects---helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country. Although you don’t get
paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important skills---decision making and finding
answers to problems, for example---that will help many students in a job one day.
Finally, getting some knowledge and experience in an area you hope to study or work in one
day will always be very useful.
If several university graduates are applying(申请) for the same job, gar year work experience
allows you to say, “ I’ve already had some experience of this kind of work.” And that can get your
job.

You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years Your car will change
even more than that in the next 10 years. One of the biggest changes is that cars will drive
themselves. “We certainly have the technology for it now.”says Andrew Poliak of automotive（机动
车辆的）technology supplier QNX.“We expect self-driving cars to be a mainstream thing between
2020 and 2025.”
The American company Google has been working on self-driving cars for years. These cars are
already on the roads in the United States and are truly self-driving. They have to steering wheels（方
向盘）or pedals（踏板）. Last week, the police ordered one of Google's cars to stop for driving too
slowly on a public road. The car was not breaking any law, so no one was punished.
Another American company, Tesla, added an “Autopilot” feature to its cars last month. With
the Autopilot turned on, the vehicle drives itself. The car will speed up, slow down, brake and drive
by itself. You can take over driving any time by turning the steering wheel or touching a pedal. The
car uses sensor（s 感应器）to know when driveway changing is safe and whether it should speed up or
slow down.
Tesla Autopilot is made for cross-country driving. It keeps you in the driveway and helps you
avoid hitting other cars. It does not work well on local roads, for it will not stop at a red light or stop
sign.
Reporter Carolyn Nicander Mohr tried the Autopilot feature of a Tesla earlier this month. She
had a hard time trusting the car to do what it should do. She thought about disabling the Autopilot
feature many times during her trip. She wanted to take control at every bend in the road and hit the
brake when the car in front of her slowed down. Yet the car drove perfectly.
Other companies are working on self-driving cars, too. Marcedes-Benz, Audi, BMW.Volvo and
Toyota all have plans for such vehicles.
26．What do Andrew Poliak's words probably mean
A．It is too difficult for people to make self-driving cars now.
B．Self-driving cars will be first put on the market in 2020.
C．There will be more self-driving cars in use in the future.
D．Nobody loves to use self-driving cars at the moment.
27．Why did the police stop the Google car
A．It had no driver. B．It went to slowly.
C．It broke the traffic rules D．It had no steering wheel.
28．The underlined word “brake”probably means ______.
A．加油门 B．刹车 C．前进 D．后退
29．According to the text, Tesla Autopilot ________.
A．is truley self-driving B．can sense traffic lights
C．won't work on freeways D．isn't safe in crowded areas
30．From the passage, we can infer（推断）that _______.
A．self-driving cars are popular nowadays. B．self-driving could be trusted by anyone.
C．a special driveway should be built for self-driving cars.
D．self-driving cars need improving
三、短文填空
（一）
Some people say it is not easy for a middle-aged person to learn a foreign language. But is it
试卷第 3页，共 4页
31 （real）true
Several years ago, I worked for 32 English newspaper which was doing such a
research. They asked me to learn a new language for one month. Then I had to go to the country and
do some “tests” 33 （see）if I could “survive（挺过来）” in different situations.
I chose Spanish（西班牙语）and did a one-month course at a language school and 34
（find）that some Spanish words are very similar to English ones. 35 example, hola isn’t
very different from “hello”. Of course, there are other things which are more difficult. In Spanish
you have to change the verbs（动词）for each person. But my 36 （big）problem of all was the
pronunciation. I found 37 was very difficult to pronounce some letters in Spanish, especially
r and j. So I had to download 38 （sentence）onto my phone and I listened and practised them
again and again.
A month later I went to Spain. A Spanish teacher 39 （call）Paula came and began the
test. “Will I survive ” I wasn’t sure enough but 40 I wished I would!
（二）
I had a great fun on Monday yesterday. It was 41 traditional Chinese festival called
Dragon Boat Festival.
This festival is in memory of Qu Yuan, one of 42 (great) Chinese poets. He killed
himself by 43 (jump) into the Miluo River on May fifth of the lunar calendar, 278
BC． People rowed their boats to save him. 44 it was too late. They were very sad and then
45 (throw) rice into river to feed the fishes so that they would not eat his body. From then on,
every year 46 that day, people enjoy eating zongzi which is made of rice, meat, eggs and so
on. In the past, we used to eat it once a year, but now we regard zongzi as our daily food. We can eat
them whenever we like.
Have you ever 47 (watch) the dragon boat races on TV It is another important part
of this festival. Several 48 (team) row their dragon boats as fast as they can. The first team
to reach the finish line 49 (win).
I wonder 50 you are interested in the dragon boat festival or not. If you like it,
why not come to enjoy it with us next year
（三）
Studying is important to students. But it is always difficult 51 (find) enough time to
study every subject you need. So a good plan helps you to make sure of your 52 (succeed)
in study.
Then, how can we make a study plan Well, begin with listing all the subjects you need to
study and make sure 53 you need to do for each subject. Next, decide how much time you
should spend 54 different subjects. Now, it is a good idea to study at the same time every
day. In this way, you actually have a plan you can remember 55 (easy). While arranging
(安排) time for each subject, you also need to make sure that you still have time for family, friends
and rest. This is because you won’t be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance your
personal life and your study.
Once the plan 56 (make), the next thing you need to do is to follow it. One of the
57 (big) challenges in following your study plan is that you will be tempted (诱惑) to avoid it
and do something relaxing or fun instead. Luckily, you can fight this temptation by taking breaks.
But the sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks because it can affect your plan. So at the start
of your break, set 58 alarm clock to remind you when your break is over. Also, you need
to use your break wisely. For example, go for a short walk, eat a small snack, or listen to some
music.
To avoid 59 (forget) to follow your plan, try to get into the habit of looking at your
calendar every day. Sometimes our plans are hard to follow 60 some important people in
our lives distract (使分心 ) us from our goals. In order to avoid this, tell people around you about
your plan. Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it, and email a
copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time.

She thought about disabling the Autopilot feature many times during her trip. She wanted to take control at every bend in the road and hit the brake when the car in front of her slowed down. Yet the car drove perfectly.
Other companies are working on self-driving cars, too. Marcedes-Benz, Audi, BMW.Volvo and Toyota all have plans for such vehicles.

While arranging (安排) time for each subject, you also need to make sure that you still have time for family, friends and rest.

Once the plan 56 (make), the next thing you need to do is to follow it.

53．句意：首先，列出你需要学习的所有科目，并确定你需要为每门科目做什么。根据“make sure ... you need to do for each subject.”可知，此处是宾语从句，do后缺少宾语，因此填what作do的宾语，故填what。
54．句意：接下来，决定你应该在不同的科目上花多少时间。spend time on sth.意为“花时间做某事”，故填on。
55．句意：这样，你实际上有了一个容易记住的计划。修饰动词remember用副词，easy意为“容易的”，是形容词，其副词为easily，故填easily。

57．句意：遵循你的学习计划最大的挑战之一是，你会试图避免它，并且做一些放松或有趣的事情。“one of+the+最高级+名词复数”表示“最……的……之一”，形容词big的最高级为biggest，故填biggest。
58．句意：因此，在休息开始时，设置闹钟提醒你休息结束。此处泛指一个闹钟，alarm以元音音素开头，所以用不定冠词an，故填an。
59．句意：为了避免忘记遵守你的计划，试着养成每天看日历的习惯。avoid doing sth意为“避免做某事”，故填forgetting。
60．句意：有时候，我们的计划很难遵循，因为我们生活中的一些重要人物分散了我们对目标的注意力。根据“Sometimes our plans are hard to follow ... some important people in our lives distract us from our goals.”可知，前后句表示因果，用because引导的原因状语从句，故填because。
