Chinese New Year's Day's date is calculated according to the Chinese lunar calendar. In 2015 it's Thursday, February 19.
Many people clean their homes to welcome the Spring Festival. They put up the red posters with poetic verses on it to their doors, Chinese New Year pictures on their walls, and decorate their homes with red lanterns. It is also a time to reunite with relatives so many people visit their families at this time of the year.
In the evening of the Spring Festival Eve, many people set off fireworks and firecrackers, hoping to cast away any bad luck and bring forth good luck. Children often receive lucky money. Many people wear new clothes and send Chinese New Year greetings to each other. Various activities such as beating drums and striking gongs, as well as dragon and lion dances, are all part of the Spring Festival festivities.
The Spring Festival is a national holiday in China. Government offices, schools, universities and many companies are closed during the period from the Spring Festival Eve to the seventh day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar. However, some enterprises such as banks often arrange for workers to be on shift duty. Public transport is available during the Chinese New Year period.
The red posters with poetic verses on it were initially a type of amulet (驱邪物), but now it simply means good fortune and joy. Various Chinese New Year symbols express different meanings. For example, an image of a fish symbolizes “having more than one needs every year”. A firecracker symbolizes “good luck in the coming year”. The festival lanterns symbolize “pursuing the bright and the beautiful”．

Dear_Editor，
I_am_a_Senior_Three_student._Recently_we_have_carried_out_a_survey—“To_whom_do_you_go_when_in_trouble？”_The_results_are_as_follows.
61% of the students surveyed select friends or schoolmates as their ideal listeners when they have trouble, the reason of which is that they are in the same age group and have a better understanding of each other. Another 22% choose teachers and parents to talk to. They suggest that teachers and parents are rich in life and educational experiences. Nevertheless, there are also 17% who don't share their troubles at all. They say that their troubles are none of others' business. Others find it hard to get along with others.
It is not easy to reach definite conclusions based on such a small example. However, some general comments can be made. It seems clear from the response that some students lack communication with others and teachers and parents need to play a more important role in their lives.
Yours_sincerely，

[2016·石家庄质检]Most people think about donating blood. However, very few actually do it. Even the most consistent ones donate an average of just three to four times during their lifetime. Now the officials in Sweden are trying to change the trend with the help of modern－day technology.
The encouragement to donate again begins shortly after the donor leaves the clinic when he/she receives a “thank you” text. Though that certainly helps them feel appreciated, what is even more pleasing is the text they receive each time their blood is used to help someone in need.
Karolina Wiberg, manager of the Stockholm blood service, believes this small gesture not only results in repeat donors, but helps bring in new ones. The_program that was started in Stockholm has received such positive feedback that it is now being rolled out across the country.
However, Swedish officials are not stopping there. They are also encouraging local clinics to publish the exact levels of the different blood groups they have at any given time on their websites. This allows potential donors to realize that their blood can make a difference in saving someone's life.
While all these outreach programs are great, busy citizens, even the ones with the best intentions have to be occasionally reminded. In order to jog their memories, officials ask people for authorization to send them text, Facebook, and e－mail reminders. Though that may sound disturbing, the citizens do not seem to mind, given that the messages are light－hearted and fun－things like “We won't give up until you bleed.”
Though Sweden is currently the only country using modern technology to urge more donations, don't be surprised if more join in, especially if the Nordic (北欧) country's blood banks start to overflow!
本文讲述的是瑞典利用信息回馈的方式，向献血者反应用血情况，以此来激发人们献血的热情。
1．Why is another text sent to blood donors after a “thank you” one?
A．To ask them for authorization.
B．To inform them their blood is used.
C．To remind them to donate blood immediately.
D．To tell them the levels of blood groups.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第二段“... what is even more pleasing is the text they receive each time their blood is used to help someone in need.”可知。
2．What does “the program” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Publishing information about blood donation.
B．Giving Facebook reminders to citizens.
C．Sending text messages to blood donors.
D．Providing people with blood service.
答案：C 推理判断题。the program应指代上文中所提到的内容，根据第二段的描述以及第三段首句，可知答案。
3．What do people think of blood donation reminders?
A．Disturbing. B．Memorable.
C．Authentic. D．Acceptable.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“Though that may sound disturbing, the citizens do not seem to mind.”可知。
4．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Sweden will stop urging blood donation.
B．Sweden has benefited little from its program.
C．More countries may follow Sweden's example.
D．Nordic blood banks are in great need of blood.
答案：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的理解“尽管瑞典是当前唯一使用这样技术的国家，但有更多的国家加入，也不必惊讶”，可推断答案。
1．consistent adj. 一致的 2.encouragement n．鼓励
3．positive adj. 积极的；正面的 4.urge vt. 催促，力劝
5．especially adv. 特别地，尤其
1．with the help of 在……帮助下
2．make a difference 有影响，有意义

[2016·荆州一中质检] Generally speaking, government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70 km (45 miles) east of Sao Paulo, have_gone_far_beyond_that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery (墓地) has reached full capacity.
There's no more room to bury the dead, they can't be cremated (火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution： outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”， he claims.
A 2003 decree (法令) by Brazil's National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.
Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I haven't got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can't die. That's ridiculous，” Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.
The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal， and will never be approved，” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. “But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery？” The bill states that “offenders will be held responsible for their acts.” However, it does not say what the punishment will be.
由于当地墓地空间不足，巴西一城镇计划一条法案：禁止人们死亡。这一法案引起了人们的热议。
5．What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?
A．Ban on building a new cemetery.
B．Ban on parking in certain zones.
C．Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.
D．Prohibiting residents from dying early.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据首段“They plan to prohibit residents from dying early.”可知答案。
6．What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond that” in the first paragraph?
A．The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.
B．The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.
C．The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.
D．The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.
答案：C 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句的内容“一般来说，政府会禁止在公共场合吸烟，但对巴西的这所城市来说远非如此。”可以推知。
7．What's the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?
A．He remains silent about them.
B．He gives strong backing to them.
C．He objects to them.
D．He asks the residents for advice on them.
答案：C 推理判断题。根据第二段“They have not taken local demands into consideration.”可知，市长对此法案予以反对，他指责法案未考虑当地的实际情况。
8．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．The mayor of the town wants to build a new cemetery against federal regulation.
B．The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.
C．No better resolution of the problems has been thought out.
D．The government is going to change the environmental decree.
答案：C 细节理解题。采用排除法，根据第二段中的内容可知A错误，由第四段可知B项错误，D项未提及，故答案为C。根据最后一段“But can you think of a better resolution to...”可知。
1．regulation n. 规则；规章制度
2．prohibit vt. 禁止
3．solution n. 解决问题的方法
4．ridiculous adj. 荒谬的
5．illegal adj. 非法的；不合法的
1．take ... into consideration 把……予以考虑
2．persuade sb. to do sth. 劝服某人做某事
原文：I haven't got a job, nor am I healthy.(倒装句)
译文：我没有工作，我也不健康。
仿写：I have never been abroad. Neither/Nor_has_he.
我不曾出国，他也没有。

Tips for Stress Free Long Flights
The world is becoming smaller by the day. Flying long hours to distant locations is becoming increasingly popular. __1__ This doesn't have to be the case. Just follow this guide and you can enjoy the whole experience!
Advance airport time
You are usually expected to check in 2 hours in advance. But it always pays to arrive a little earlier, as most people will arrive in the queue around this time. You are better off spending 3 hours seated in the departure waiting room with a good book than standing in the check－in queue! __2__
Enjoy the long flight
On a long flight it is important to keep yourself occupied. __3__ I still find, however, that a trusty book is the best way to kill time. I always start a book a few days before I fly so that I'm already into it before my flight.
__4__
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a constant worry for long travelers, which is very harmful to your health. But it can be avoided by ensuring that the blood flowing around your body is kept moving. You can do the exercises advised by the in－flight video and magazines, take regular walks along the passage and drink plenty of water.
Avoid jet lag
__5__ While on your flight, you can set your watch to your destination time as soon as you can and do your best to sleep when it's night time where you are going, even if that means missing onboard meals. Also, you can try to stay awake until the evening in your destination. Then you'll get adjusted to your new time zone quickly.
A．Try to stay healthy
B．Make full preparations
C．Unfortunately, the experience can be stressful for some people.
D．There are two effective ways to prevent such a case happening.
E．In a word, the earlier you are, the better chance you have.
F．Many airlines are now introducing good services on their websites.
G．The in－seat technologies allow us to enjoy the latest films or video games.
本文是说明文，作者针对“缓解漫长飞行旅程带来的压力”提出了一些建议。
1．C “This doesn't have to be the case.”中的this是关键信息。
2．E 空格所处的位置应该是总结该段的内容。“Advance airport time”表示提前到场，可知答案是E。
3．G 根据本段主题“Enjoy the long flight”可知，此处讲述的是“如何享受长途飞行”，可知答案。
4．A 根据其他几项指导内容可知，此处应为祈使句，且概括本段所述内容，故答案是A。
5．D 下文中“Also, you can try to stay awake”中的“also”为关键词。
Ⅲ.语法填空(建议用时7′)

5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________

本文强调的是英语在大学期间的重要性。
1．are admitted 考查动词语态。主语you与admit之间为被动关系，且全文用一般现在时，故填are admitted。
2．as 考查介词用法。choose sth. as sth. “选……作为……”。
3．probably 考查词形转换。根据空格位置，可知此处填副词，注意拼写。
4．Failing 考查非谓语动词作状语。fail与you之间为主动关系，故填failing。

Ⅱ.阅读理解(建议用时15′)
A
Since the beginning of the year, smog (雾霾) has covered parts of North China. In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory (呼吸系统) and heart diseases.
Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.
So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.
Smog is especially a common concern. As a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or profession. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.
At a meeting on Monday, many representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. “After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question：Why do we want to develop? It's for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life, ” he said.
China needs to develop its economy and invest (投资) in high-tech. Every Chinese has a dream to make China stronger. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can move to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.
What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China. The great efforts must be made to promote ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central government's determination to address the environment issue.

[2016·湖北百校联考]We are surrounded every day by thousands of chemicals. These chemicals have been found to be safe－on their own. But are they still “safe” if mixed with other chemicals? That's the big question.
On its own, each chemical seems harmless. But in combination with other chemicals, they may become deadly. That is the finding of a two－year study by a high－profile task force of scientists. The task force was told to investigate the cancer－causing possibility of chemical mixtures.
Linda Gulliver was one of 174 scientists on the task force. Their job was to study the cancer－causing potential of 85 chemicals. All 85 are said to be common in the environment.
Ms Gulliver explains that chemicals have the potential to form dangerous mixtures. Even simple minerals can become dangerous when mixed with chemicals found in plastics or beauty products. While the chemicals are safe on their own. She says, the researchers found that many chemical compound cause cancer in human cells.
Working in groups, the scientists explored how different chemical mixtures could lead to cancer. Ms Gulliver's team looked at the ability of different combinations to support the increase of malignant (恶性的) human cells.
She says the big issue－what she calls “the $ 64 million dollar question”－is, “Which common, everyday chemicals do people need to avoid？”
“The $ 64 million dollar question that everybody wants to ask is, ‘Which chemicals should we be looking out for？’ And the answer to that is, ‘We don't know yet.’”
She says the current way to identify whether chemicals cause cancer is to test them one at a time. This method leads, she adds, to a long list of supposedly “safe” chemicals. She and her team say that approach needs to change.
“We definitely need certain research ... to find out what mixtures of chemicals would be more harmful than others; what groups of chemicals, when together, would produce more harmful effects. And at the moment, that is not known.”
本文讲述的是一种新的发现：单独看来无害的化学物质，可能与另一物质产生化学反应并会产生致癌物质。这项研究会不断地进行下去。
5．The purpose of the researchers' work is ________.
A．to find ways to protect human cells
B．to study the character of the chemicals
C．to study the cancer－causing possibility of mixtures
D．to study how deadly the chemicals in our homes are
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第三段的描述可知，研究的对象是造成癌症的可能的混合物。
6．According to Ms Gulliver's words, their research work is ________.
A．still limited
B．completely successful
C．practical to other researchers
D．not well received
答案：A 推理判断题。根据第六段和第七段Ms Gulliver所说的话可以判断对这些物质的不确定性，因而可推知答案是A。
7．What's the best title of the passage?
A．Chemicals are everywhere
B．Chemicals can lead to cancer
C．What is in chemicals in our daily life?
D．Mixture of safe chemicals may cause cancer
答案：D 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的几个问题“are they still ‘safe’ if mixed with other chemicals? That's the big question.”可知。
8．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Harmful chemicals are throughout our homes.
B．Scientists know which mixture does harm to our health.
C．Researchers have quick approaches to studying the chemicals.
D．It is hard to tell what mixture of chemicals is harmful.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段，专家所描述的“...what groups of chemicals, when together, would produce more harmful effects. And at the moment, that is not known.”可知答案。
1．surround vt. 包围；围绕 2.mixture n. 混合物
3．avoid vt. 避免；逃避 4.identify vt. 辨别
