第一节：阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Research shows that young English language learners can do better in reading comprehension when exposed to culturally relevant books. Here are four great examples:
The Name Jar
Having just moved from Korea, Unhei is anxious that American kids won’t like her. Her new classmates decide to help her choose a new name by filling a glass jar with names for her to pick from. But they then discover her real name and its special meaning. Encouraged by her new friends, Unhei finally chooses her own Korean name.
Chocolate Milk, Por Favor!
Gabe doesn’t speak any English. His classmates learn how to communicate with him through sports, food, and play. Chocolate milk ( Gabe’s favorite drink ) is a symbol in this heartwarming story about the importance of making friends and the power of kindness when they are working to overcome the language barrier (障碍).
Marisol McDonald Doesn’t Match
“My name is Marisol McDonald, and I don’t match.” No one would dare stop Marisol from being her own unique self. She redefines what it means to be a Peruvian-Scottish-American. Well-known author Monica Brown wrote this lively story to bring her own experience of being mismatched to life.
Jalapeno Bagels

A heart attack led Ivan Markov to take up gardening on a small patch (小块土地) in front of his council flat. Now, he’s spreading his love of nature across south London.
Markov grew up on Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea, and learned to love nature in these tropical zones. In 2007, he moved to Lewisham, south-east London, to work as a teacher. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with heart failure in 2010. During the treatment and recovery, he read about a local award for best garden, and though he only had a front garden outside his flat, he thought the competition would be something to work towards. He worked on his patch for most of the year, planting seeds and plants, such as flowers, berries and herbs. Surprisingly, he won the best front garden prize. “I couldn’t believe it,” he says. “I nearly fell off my seat.”
That was the start. Markov created a community nursery (苗圃) at the side of his house, and started planting bushes across the road. “I had so much beauty in my garden,” he says. “I wanted to share what I had.” He started offering guide to others. News of Markov’s green-fingered selflessness began to spread. “I go to someone’s property and give them advice on how to plant a garden,” he says. He delivers cuttings and seeds and helps people report plants, but everything he does is free. To date, Markov has helped six neighbourhoods embrace sustainable gardening.
He wants to show people you don’t have to live in the country to create beauty. “It doesn’t matter how much space you have. Outside my place there’s a tiny square, tiny. I grow tomatoes there for my supper. The opportunities are endless.”
Gardening gives Markov “the feeling of creating something from nothing and so much pleasure”. His dream is to create more green areas. Markov is making this corner of south-east London a paradise for all.
4. What can be inferred about Markov in paragraph 2?
A. He worked as a gardener. B. He failed in the competition.
C. He won an education prize. D. He turned out a green finger.
5. Which can best describe Markov according to paragraph 3?
A. Smart and courageous. B. Confident and diligent.
C. Generous and warm-hearted. D. Humorous and energetic.
6. What may Markov agree about gardening?
A. Selflessness values a lot. B. Skilled techniques are needed.
C. Much space is important. D. Desire to take actions matters.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The origin of a community nursery. B. A creator of a green paradise for all.
C. A positive spirit against difficulty. D. The harmony of human and nature.
C
Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-analysis known as the journalism credibility project.
Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.
But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard patterns into which they plug each day’s events. In other words, there is a conventional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrative structure for otherwise confusing news.
There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the “standard patterns” of the newsroom seem alien to many readers. In a recent survey, questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middle-size cities around the country, plus one large metropolitan area. Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and asked the same questions.
Replies show that compared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses, and trade stocks, and they’re less likely to go to church, do volunteer work, or put down roots in a community.
Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite (精英) , so their work tends to reflect the conventional values of this elite. The astonishing distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily conflict of world views between reporters and their readers.
This is an explosive situation for any industry, particularly a declining one. Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. It never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases that so many former buyers are complaining about. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class.
8. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The objectives and findings of a journalism credibility project.
B. The personnel structure of the declining newspaper industry.
C. The causes of the public disappointment in newspapers.
D. The indefinite needs of newspaper readers in America.
9. The results of the journalism credibility project turned out to be____________.
A. somewhat conflicting B. rather trustworthy
C. quite shallow D. very enlightening
10. According to the author, the fundamental problem of journalists lies in their__________.
A. conventional lifestyle in upscale communities
B. inflexible approach to handling news stories
C. conflicting ways of making sense of the world
D. shared values disconnected from general readers
11. Which one of the following statements is TRUE about the newspaper industry?
A. It fails to satisfy its readers due to annoying reporters.
B. It hasn’t realized the real problem despite its efforts.
C. It’s urgent that it focus on accurate and skillful reporting.
D. It should be aware of underlying prejudice in race and gender.
D
A survey, by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), which manages the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) in Australia, found in 2015 a total of 54% of 15-year-old students were aiming for a university degree. Around 3% were aiming for a Technical and Further Education (TAFE) diploma. This was down from 2003, when 63% planned to go to university, and 8% planned to do a TAFE diploma.
A decline in students’ expectations of a university degree may not be cause for alarm. Instead, it may reflect expanding opportunities in other qualification areas, such as apprenticeships(学徒) and other forms of occupational education. The decline in those students expecting to do a TAFE diploma may reflect fewer offerings in the TAFE department. What’s alarming is the noticeable difference that remains between different groups of students. In particular, those related to disadvantage such as low socioeconomic background and rurality.
Having different expectations for future education can impact students’ current experiences of education, influence their motivation, behaviour and achievement at school now. For example, students who know they won’t be able to afford to move out of home to go to their chosen university may decide, consciously or not, to not put so much effort into their schoolwork if they can get into a different course at a local TAFE that requires a lower ATAR(大学入学指数). For young people, expectations for further study can also become a self-fulfilling prophecy(预言). Those expecting to leave school early are more likely to do so. Students who expect to attend university are more likely to do so, and so gain access to improved social and labour markets outcomes. These include increased health and life expectancy, higher incomes and greater levels of wellbeing — the ＂health, wealth and happiness＂.
Not only are there differences in their access to and opportunity for further study, the survey highlights the range of their expectations, and what that might represent for their future. Further comparison of the educational expectations of various groups of students show some worrying patterns related to disadvantages.
12. How does the author mainly develop the first paragraph?
A. By giving figures. B. By presenting facts.
C. By arguing and discussing. D. By comparing and contrasting.
13. What does this decrease of students show according to the text?
A. The employment rate will increase.
B. The economics has declined sharply recently.
C. Other forms of education will develop better.
D. The courses of the TAFE department will increase.
14. Who will put most effort into their schoolwork?
A. A student who failed in the last exam.
B. A student who has a long-term life goal.
C. A student who expects to attend university.
D. A student who will require a local TAFE diploma.
15. What will the author probably talk about in the following paragraph?
A. What are the concerning patterns?
B. What are the disadvantages of no education?
C. What measures the authorities will take to prevent this?
D. Why it matters that fewer Australian teenagers are going to university?

52. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was turning ten in the summer of 1995. On a warm evening while at dinner table, my mom announced we were taking a trip to Niagara Falls when summer vacation started so that we could celebrate my birthday there.
It all sounded incredibly good until mom said we would be driving to Canada. As was often the case, my dad would do all the driving when my mom managed the directions. But dad often took wrong turns along the way and mom would not stop complaining.
It wasn’t all that I didn’t like the car rides. I looked over at my 6-year-old sister, Marlene. She giggled at me and rolled her eyes. Driving in the car meant I’d share the back seat with my sister, who would never stop making noise unless she was asleep.
“Hey, can we take a plane there instead?” I asked between mouthfuls of hamburger and French fries. Sometimes, when dad had a day off from work, we would drive out to Idlewild Airport to watch the planes take off and land. I always hoped that one day I could get to sit in my own seat on one of those planes. It would be so cool to get high up the beautiful sky.
“Sorry honey, maybe next time.” my mother replied as she and my father exchanged glances. I turned to my sister, hoping she would say she wanted to get on a plane too, but she simply stuck her tongue out at me and giggled again.
Don’t they get it? I was in desperate need of a plane ride, and I needed something cool to talk about with my friends when we got home. “Sitting in the back seat of the car sucks.” I blurted (脱口而出) out.
“Jay!” My mom shouted. “Watch your mouth!”
“OK, sorry, but I really want to go by plane.”
“This conversation is over.” My dad growled. “Finish your eating and go to your room.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We left two days later on Saturday morning in our car.

Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with heart failure in 2010. During the treatment and recovery, he read about a local award for best garden, and though he only had a front garden outside his flat, he thought the competition would be something to work towards. He worked on his patch for most of the year, planting seeds and plants, such as flowers, berries and herbs. Surprisingly, he won the best front garden prize. “I couldn’t believe it,” he says. “I nearly fell off my seat.”
That was the start. Markov created a community nursery (苗圃) at the side of his house, and started planting bushes across the road. “I had so much beauty in my garden,” he says. “I wanted to share what I had.” He started offering guide to others. News of Markov’s green-fingered selflessness began to spread. “I go to someone’s property and give them advice on how to plant a garden,” he says. He delivers cuttings and seeds and helps people report plants, but everything he does is free. To date, Markov has helped six neighbourhoods embrace sustainable gardening.
He wants to show people you don’t have to live in the country to create beauty. “It doesn’t matter how much space you have. Outside my place there’s a tiny square, tiny. I grow tomatoes there for my supper. The opportunities are endless.”
Gardening gives Markov “the feeling of creating something from nothing and so much pleasure”. His dream is to create more green areas. Markov is making this corner of south-east London a paradise for all.
4. What can be inferred about Markov in paragraph 2?
A. He worked as a gardener. B. He failed in the competition.
C. He won an education prize. D. He turned out a green finger.
5. Which can best describe Markov according to paragraph 3?
A. Smart and courageous. B. Confident and diligent.
C. Generous and warm-hearted. D. Humorous and energetic.
6. What may Markov agree about gardening?
A. Selflessness values a lot. B. Skilled techniques are needed.
C. Much space is important. D. Desire to take actions matters.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The origin of a community nursery. B. A creator of a green paradise for all.
C. A positive spirit against difficulty. D. The harmony of human and nature.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B

Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-analysis known as the journalism credibility project.
Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.
But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard patterns into which they plug each day’s events. In other words, there is a conventional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrative structure for otherwise confusing news.
There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the “standard patterns” of the newsroom seem alien to many readers. In a recent survey, questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middle-size cities around the country, plus one large metropolitan area. Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and asked the same questions.
Replies show that compared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses, and trade stocks, and they’re less likely to go to church, do volunteer work, or put down roots in a community.
Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite (精英) , so their work tends to reflect the conventional values of this elite. The astonishing distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily conflict of world views between reporters and their readers.
This is an explosive situation for any industry, particularly a declining one. Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. It never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases that so many former buyers are complaining about. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class.
8. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The objectives and findings of a journalism credibility project.
B. The personnel structure of the declining newspaper industry.
C. The causes of the public disappointment in newspapers.
D. The indefinite needs of newspaper readers in America.
9. The results of the journalism credibility project turned out to be____________.
A. somewhat conflicting B. rather trustworthy
C. quite shallow D. very enlightening
10. According to the author, the fundamental problem of journalists lies in their__________.
A. conventional lifestyle in upscale communities
B. inflexible approach to handling news stories
C. conflicting ways of making sense of the world
D. shared values disconnected from general readers
11. Which one of the following statements is TRUE about the newspaper industry?
A. It fails to satisfy its readers due to annoying reporters.
B. It hasn’t realized the real problem despite its efforts.
C. It’s urgent that it focus on accurate and skillful reporting.
D. It should be aware of underlying prejudice in race and gender.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. B
D
A survey, by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), which manages the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) in Australia, found in 2015 a total of 54% of 15-year-old students were aiming for a university degree. Around 3% were aiming for a Technical and Further Education (TAFE) diploma. This was down from 2003, when 63% planned to go to university, and 8% planned to do a TAFE diploma.
A decline in students’ expectations of a university degree may not be cause for alarm. Instead, it may reflect expanding opportunities in other qualification areas, such as apprenticeships(学徒) and other forms of occupational education. The decline in those students expecting to do a TAFE diploma may reflect fewer offerings in the TAFE department. What’s alarming is the noticeable difference that remains between different groups of students. In particular, those related to disadvantage such as low socioeconomic background and rurality.
Having different expectations for future education can impact students’ current experiences of education, influence their motivation, behaviour and achievement at school now. For example, students who know they won’t be able to afford to move out of home to go to their chosen university may decide, consciously or not, to not put so much effort into their schoolwork if they can get into a different course at a local TAFE that requires a lower ATAR(大学入学指数). For young people, expectations for further study can also become a self-fulfilling prophecy(预言). Those expecting to leave school early are more likely to do so. Students who expect to attend university are more likely to do so, and so gain access to improved social and labour markets outcomes. These include increased health and life expectancy, higher incomes and greater levels of wellbeing — the ＂health, wealth and happiness＂.
Not only are there differences in their access to and opportunity for further study, the survey highlights the range of their expectations, and what that might represent for their future. Further comparison of the educational expectations of various groups of students show some worrying patterns related to disadvantages.
12. How does the author mainly develop the first paragraph?
A. By giving figures. B. By presenting facts.
C. By arguing and discussing. D. By comparing and contrasting.
13. What does this decrease of students show according to the text?
A. The employment rate will increase.
B. The economics has declined sharply recently.
C. Other forms of education will develop better.
D. The courses of the TAFE department will increase.
14. Who will put most effort into their schoolwork?
A. A student who failed in the last exam.
B. A student who has a long-term life goal.
C. A student who expects to attend university.
D. A student who will require a local TAFE diploma.
15. What will the author probably talk about in the following paragraph?
A. What are the concerning patterns?
B. What are the disadvantages of no education?
C. What measures the authorities will take to prevent this?
D. Why it matters that fewer Australian teenagers are going to university?

【答案】Dear schoolmates,
On the occasion of World Animals Day, I am writing to call on everyone to pay close attention to the wildlife protection.
Wild animals are facing the problem of food shortage with serious pollution and the use of insecticide. Besides, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, etc, which may account for the risk of extinction.
Wildlife protection not only plays an important role in keeping a balanced ecosystem but also is a sign showing how civilized and advanced a country is. It’s high time we should join up to educate people around us and raise their awareness of wildlife protection.
Thank you!

52. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was turning ten in the summer of 1995. On a warm evening while at dinner table, my mom announced we were taking a trip to Niagara Falls when summer vacation started so that we could celebrate my birthday there.
It all sounded incredibly good until mom said we would be driving to Canada. As was often the case, my dad would do all the driving when my mom managed the directions. But dad often took wrong turns along the way and mom would not stop complaining.
It wasn’t all that I didn’t like the car rides. I looked over at my 6-year-old sister, Marlene. She giggled at me and rolled her eyes. Driving in the car meant I’d share the back seat with my sister, who would never stop making noise unless she was asleep.
“Hey, can we take a plane there instead?” I asked between mouthfuls of hamburger and French fries. Sometimes, when dad had a day off from work, we would drive out to Idlewild Airport to watch the planes take off and land. I always hoped that one day I could get to sit in my own seat on one of those planes. It would be so cool to get high up the beautiful sky.
“Sorry honey, maybe next time.” my mother replied as she and my father exchanged glances. I turned to my sister, hoping she would say she wanted to get on a plane too, but she simply stuck her tongue out at me and giggled again.
Don’t they get it? I was in desperate need of a plane ride, and I needed something cool to talk about with my friends when we got home. “Sitting in the back seat of the car sucks.” I blurted (脱口而出) out.
“Jay!” My mom shouted. “Watch your mouth!”
“OK, sorry, but I really want to go by plane.”
“This conversation is over.” My dad growled. “Finish your eating and go to your room.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We left two days later on Saturday morning in our car.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was told to wait until we checked in our bags at the airport.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We left two days later on Saturday morning in our car. Reluctant as I was, I helped stuff the car truck full of suitcases. There I was stuck in the back seat with no hope of having great tales of adventure for my friends and little expectation of celebrating my birthday with style. After what seemed like a lifetime, I felt extremely bored as Marlene fell asleep beside me. Rolling down the window, I caught a glimpse of a large plane flying overhead. How I wished I were on that plane! At that moment, I noticed my father made a turn off the highway and drove past a sign that read “Airport Parking”. I couldn’t believe my eyes. We were heading right into the airport.
I was told to wait until we checked in our bags at the airport. “We were planning this as a birthday present for you all along,” Mom explained, “despite your impolite language the other night, Happy birthday, sweetheart !” My Dad also wished me a happy birthday as he bent down to kiss my head while Marlene threw her arms around me, winking and giggling heartily. Overwhelmed with emotions, I looked at the boarding pass in my hands, finally waking up to the fact that my dream of taking a flight indeed came true. Yet what touched me most was the great 1ove, patience and tolerance from my family. It was my best birthday ever!

Research shows that young English language learners can do better in reading comprehension when exposed to culturally relevant books. Here are four great examples:
The Name Jar
Having just moved from Korea, Unhei is anxious that American kids won’t like her. Her new classmates decide to help her choose a new name by filling a glass jar with names for her to pick from. But they then discover her real name and its special meaning. Encouraged by her new friends, Unhei finally chooses her own Korean name.
Chocolate Milk, Por Favor!
Gabe doesn’t speak any English. His classmates learn how to communicate with him through sports, food, and play. Chocolate milk ( Gabe’s favorite drink ) is a symbol in this heartwarming story about the importance of making friends and the power of kindness when they are working to overcome the language barrier (障碍).
Marisol McDonald Doesn’t Match
“My name is Marisol McDonald, and I don’t match.” No one would dare stop Marisol from being her own unique self. She redefines what it means to be a Peruvian-Scottish-American. Well-known author Monica Brown wrote this lively story to bring her own experience of being mismatched to life.

A heart attack led Ivan Markov to take up gardening on a small patch (小块土地) in front of his council flat. Now, he’s spreading his love of nature across south London.
Markov grew up on Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea, and learned to love nature in these tropical zones. In 2007, he moved to Lewisham, south-east London, to work as a teacher. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with heart failure in 2010. During the treatment and recovery, he read about a local award for best garden, and though he only had a front garden outside his flat, he thought the competition would be something to work towards. He worked on his patch for most of the year, planting seeds and plants, such as flowers, berries and herbs. Surprisingly, he won the best front garden prize. “I couldn’t believe it,” he says. “I nearly fell off my seat.”
That was the start. Markov created a community nursery (苗圃) at the side of his house, and started planting bushes across the road. “I had so much beauty in my garden,” he says. “I wanted to share what I had.” He started offering guide to others. News of Markov’s green-fingered selflessness began to spread. “I go to someone’s property and give them advice on how to plant a garden,” he says. He delivers cuttings and seeds and helps people report plants, but everything he does is free. To date, Markov has helped six neighbourhoods embrace sustainable gardening.
He wants to show people you don’t have to live in the country to create beauty. “It doesn’t matter how much space you have. Outside my place there’s a tiny square, tiny. I grow tomatoes there for my supper. The opportunities are endless.”
Gardening gives Markov “the feeling of creating something from nothing and so much pleasure”. His dream is to create more green areas. Markov is making this corner of south-east London a paradise for all.
4. What can be inferred about Markov in paragraph 2?
A. He worked as a gardener. B. He failed in the competition.
C. He won an education prize. D. He turned out a green finger.
5. Which can best describe Markov according to paragraph 3?
A. Smart and courageous. B. Confident and diligent.
C. Generous and warm-hearted. D. Humorous and energetic.
6. What may Markov agree about gardening?
A. Selflessness values a lot. B. Skilled techniques are needed.
C. Much space is important. D. Desire to take actions matters.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The origin of a community nursery. B. A creator of a green paradise for all.
C. A positive spirit against difficulty. D. The harmony of human and nature.

Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-analysis known as the journalism credibility project.
Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.
But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard patterns into which they plug each day’s events. In other words, there is a conventional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrative structure for otherwise confusing news.
There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the “standard patterns” of the newsroom seem alien to many readers. In a recent survey, questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middle-size cities around the country, plus one large metropolitan area. Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and asked the same questions.
Replies show that compared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses, and trade stocks, and they’re less likely to go to church, do volunteer work, or put down roots in a community.
Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite (精英) , so their work tends to reflect the conventional values of this elite. The astonishing distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily conflict of world views between reporters and their readers.
This is an explosive situation for any industry, particularly a declining one. Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. It never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases that so many former buyers are complaining about. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class.
8. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The objectives and findings of a journalism credibility project.
B. The personnel structure of the declining newspaper industry.
C. The causes of the public disappointment in newspapers.
D. The indefinite needs of newspaper readers in America.
9. The results of the journalism credibility project turned out to be____________.
A. somewhat conflicting B. rather trustworthy
C. quite shallow D. very enlightening
10. According to the author, the fundamental problem of journalists lies in their__________.
A. conventional lifestyle in upscale communities
B. inflexible approach to handling news stories

A survey, by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), which manages the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) in Australia, found in 2015 a total of 54% of 15-year-old students were aiming for a university degree. Around 3% were aiming for a Technical and Further Education (TAFE) diploma. This was down from 2003, when 63% planned to go to university, and 8% planned to do a TAFE diploma.
A decline in students’ expectations of a university degree may not be cause for alarm. Instead, it may reflect expanding opportunities in other qualification areas, such as apprenticeships(学徒) and other forms of occupational education. The decline in those students expecting to do a TAFE diploma may reflect fewer offerings in the TAFE department. What’s alarming is the noticeable difference that remains between different groups of students. In particular, those related to disadvantage such as low socioeconomic background and rurality.
Having different expectations for future education can impact students’ current experiences of education, influence their motivation, behaviour and achievement at school now. For example, students who know they won’t be able to afford to move out of home to go to their chosen university may decide, consciously or not, to not put so much effort into their schoolwork if they can get into a different course at a local TAFE that requires a lower ATAR(大学入学指数). For young people, expectations for further study can also become a self-fulfilling prophecy(预言). Those expecting to leave school early are more likely to do so. Students who expect to attend university are more likely to do so, and so gain access to improved social and labour markets outcomes. These include increased health and life expectancy, higher incomes and greater levels of wellbeing — the ＂health, wealth and happiness＂.
Not only are there differences in their access to and opportunity for further study, the survey highlights the range of their expectations, and what that might represent for their future. Further comparison of the educational expectations of various groups of students show some worrying patterns related to disadvantages.
12. How does the author mainly develop the first paragraph?
A. By giving figures. B. By presenting facts.

A. The employment rate will increase.
B. The economics has declined sharply recently.
C. Other forms of education will develop better.
D. The courses of the TAFE department will increase.
14. Who will put most effort into their schoolwork?
A. A student who failed in the last exam.
B. A student who has a long-term life goal.
C. A student who expects to attend university.
D. A student who will require a local TAFE diploma.

A. What are the concerning patterns?

I was turning ten in the summer of 1995. On a warm evening while at dinner table, my mom announced we were taking a trip to Niagara Falls when summer vacation started so that we could celebrate my birthday there.
It all sounded incredibly good until mom said we would be driving to Canada. As was often the case, my dad would do all the driving when my mom managed the directions. But dad often took wrong turns along the way and mom would not stop complaining.
It wasn’t all that I didn’t like the car rides. I looked over at my 6-year-old sister, Marlene. She giggled at me and rolled her eyes. Driving in the car meant I’d share the back seat with my sister, who would never stop making noise unless she was asleep.
“Hey, can we take a plane there instead?” I asked between mouthfuls of hamburger and French fries. Sometimes, when dad had a day off from work, we would drive out to Idlewild Airport to watch the planes take off and land. I always hoped that one day I could get to sit in my own seat on one of those planes. It would be so cool to get high up the beautiful sky.
“Sorry honey, maybe next time.” my mother replied as she and my father exchanged glances. I turned to my sister, hoping she would say she wanted to get on a plane too, but she simply stuck her tongue out at me and giggled again.
Don’t they get it? I was in desperate need of a plane ride, and I needed something cool to talk about with my friends when we got home. “Sitting in the back seat of the car sucks.” I blurted (脱口而出) out.
“Jay!” My mom shouted. “Watch your mouth!”
“OK, sorry, but I really want to go by plane.”
“This conversation is over.” My dad growled. “Finish your eating and go to your room.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Research shows that young English language learners can do better in reading comprehension when exposed to culturally relevant books. Here are four great examples:
The Name Jar
Having just moved from Korea, Unhei is anxious that American kids won’t like her. Her new classmates decide to help her choose a new name by filling a glass jar with names for her to pick from. But they then discover her real name and its special meaning. Encouraged by her new friends, Unhei finally chooses her own Korean name.
Chocolate Milk, Por Favor!
Gabe doesn’t speak any English. His classmates learn how to communicate with him through sports, food, and play. Chocolate milk ( Gabe’s favorite drink ) is a symbol in this heartwarming story about the importance of making friends and the power of kindness when they are working to overcome the language barrier (障碍).
Marisol McDonald Doesn’t Match
“My name is Marisol McDonald, and I don’t match.” No one would dare stop Marisol from being her own unique self. She redefines what it means to be a Peruvian-Scottish-American. Well-known author Monica Brown wrote this lively story to bring her own experience of being mismatched to life.
Jalapeno Bagels

A heart attack led Ivan Markov to take up gardening on a small patch (小块土地) in front of his council flat. Now, he’s spreading his love of nature across south London.
Markov grew up on Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea, and learned to love nature in these tropical zones. In 2007, he moved to Lewisham, south-east London, to work as a teacher. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with heart failure in 2010. During the treatment and recovery, he read about a local award for best garden, and though he only had a front garden outside his flat, he thought the competition would be something to work towards. He worked on his patch for most of the year, planting seeds and plants, such as flowers, berries and herbs. Surprisingly, he won the best front garden prize. “I couldn’t believe it,” he says. “I nearly fell off my seat.”
That was the start. Markov created a community nursery (苗圃) at the side of his house, and started planting bushes across the road. “I had so much beauty in my garden,” he says. “I wanted to share what I had.” He started offering guide to others. News of Markov’s green-fingered selflessness began to spread. “I go to someone’s property and give them advice on how to plant a garden,” he says. He delivers cuttings and seeds and helps people report plants, but everything he does is free. To date, Markov has helped six neighbourhoods embrace sustainable gardening.
He wants to show people you don’t have to live in the country to create beauty. “It doesn’t matter how much space you have. Outside my place there’s a tiny square, tiny. I grow tomatoes there for my supper. The opportunities are endless.”
Gardening gives Markov “the feeling of creating something from nothing and so much pleasure”. His dream is to create more green areas. Markov is making this corner of south-east London a paradise for all.
4. What can be inferred about Markov in paragraph 2?
A. He worked as a gardener. B. He failed in the competition.
C. He won an education prize. D. He turned out a green finger.
5. Which can best describe Markov according to paragraph 3?
A. Smart and courageous. B. Confident and diligent.
C. Generous and warm-hearted. D. Humorous and energetic.
6. What may Markov agree about gardening?
A. Selflessness values a lot. B. Skilled techniques are needed.
C. Much space is important. D. Desire to take actions matters.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The origin of a community nursery. B. A creator of a green paradise for all.
C. A positive spirit against difficulty. D. The harmony of human and nature.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B

Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-analysis known as the journalism credibility project.
Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.
But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard patterns into which they plug each day’s events. In other words, there is a conventional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrative structure for otherwise confusing news.
There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the “standard patterns” of the newsroom seem alien to many readers. In a recent survey, questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middle-size cities around the country, plus one large metropolitan area. Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and asked the same questions.
Replies show that compared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses, and trade stocks, and they’re less likely to go to church, do volunteer work, or put down roots in a community.
Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite (精英) , so their work tends to reflect the conventional values of this elite. The astonishing distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily conflict of world views between reporters and their readers.
This is an explosive situation for any industry, particularly a declining one. Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. It never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases that so many former buyers are complaining about. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class.
8. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The objectives and findings of a journalism credibility project.
B. The personnel structure of the declining newspaper industry.
C. The causes of the public disappointment in newspapers.
D. The indefinite needs of newspaper readers in America.
9. The results of the journalism credibility project turned out to be____________.
A. somewhat conflicting B. rather trustworthy
C. quite shallow D. very enlightening
10. According to the author, the fundamental problem of journalists lies in their__________.
A. conventional lifestyle in upscale communities
B. inflexible approach to handling news stories
C. conflicting ways of making sense of the world
D. shared values disconnected from general readers
11. Which one of the following statements is TRUE about the newspaper industry?
A. It fails to satisfy its readers due to annoying reporters.
B. It hasn’t realized the real problem despite its efforts.
C. It’s urgent that it focus on accurate and skillful reporting.
D. It should be aware of underlying prejudice in race and gender.

【答案】Dear schoolmates,
On the occasion of World Animals Day, I am writing to call on everyone to pay close attention to the wildlife protection.
Wild animals are facing the problem of food shortage with serious pollution and the use of insecticide. Besides, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, etc, which may account for the risk of extinction.
Wildlife protection not only plays an important role in keeping a balanced ecosystem but also is a sign showing how civilized and advanced a country is. It’s high time we should join up to educate people around us and raise their awareness of wildlife protection.
Thank you!

52. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was turning ten in the summer of 1995. On a warm evening while at dinner table, my mom announced we were taking a trip to Niagara Falls when summer vacation started so that we could celebrate my birthday there.
It all sounded incredibly good until mom said we would be driving to Canada. As was often the case, my dad would do all the driving when my mom managed the directions. But dad often took wrong turns along the way and mom would not stop complaining.
It wasn’t all that I didn’t like the car rides. I looked over at my 6-year-old sister, Marlene. She giggled at me and rolled her eyes. Driving in the car meant I’d share the back seat with my sister, who would never stop making noise unless she was asleep.
“Hey, can we take a plane there instead?” I asked between mouthfuls of hamburger and French fries. Sometimes, when dad had a day off from work, we would drive out to Idlewild Airport to watch the planes take off and land. I always hoped that one day I could get to sit in my own seat on one of those planes. It would be so cool to get high up the beautiful sky.
“Sorry honey, maybe next time.” my mother replied as she and my father exchanged glances. I turned to my sister, hoping she would say she wanted to get on a plane too, but she simply stuck her tongue out at me and giggled again.
Don’t they get it? I was in desperate need of a plane ride, and I needed something cool to talk about with my friends when we got home. “Sitting in the back seat of the car sucks.” I blurted (脱口而出) out.
“Jay!” My mom shouted. “Watch your mouth!”
“OK, sorry, but I really want to go by plane.”
“This conversation is over.” My dad growled. “Finish your eating and go to your room.”

【答案】We left two days later on Saturday morning in our car. Reluctant as I was, I helped stuff the car truck full of suitcases. There I was stuck in the back seat with no hope of having great tales of adventure for my friends and little expectation of celebrating my birthday with style. After what seemed like a lifetime, I felt extremely bored as Marlene fell asleep beside me. Rolling down the window, I caught a glimpse of a large plane flying overhead. How I wished I were on that plane! At that moment, I noticed my father made a turn off the highway and drove past a sign that read “Airport Parking”. I couldn’t believe my eyes. We were heading right into the airport.
I was told to wait until we checked in our bags at the airport. “We were planning this as a birthday present for you all along,” Mom explained, “despite your impolite language the other night, Happy birthday, sweetheart !” My Dad also wished me a happy birthday as he bent down to kiss my head while Marlene threw her arms around me, winking and giggling heartily. Overwhelmed with emotions, I looked at the boarding pass in my hands, finally waking up to the fact that my dream of taking a flight indeed came true. Yet what touched me most was the great 1ove, patience and tolerance from my family. It was my best birthday ever!
