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
I had never really given heroes much thought until I took part in an essay contest. We were all supposed to write about our heroes. I tried many approaches using firefighters, policemen and famous people, but nothing seemed to fit. Finally I gave up and went to bed.
The next morning, my clock didn’t ring and I walked out of the door just to see the bus pass my house. With no other choice, I called my grandfather, who was more than happy to give me a ride. I just said “Thank you” at the school gate and didn’t think too much about it. That night , though, my mother told me that my grandfather had cancelled an important meeting so he could take me to school. I suddenly felt really bad for taking the favor so lightly.
A few weeks later, I became sick at school. Since my mother and father were at work, the only person I could call was, again, my grandfather. And again, he was there to pick me up. It turned out that he had been in the middle of running errands（办事） when I called but, again, he put me first. Arriving at my house, he made sure I was comfortable and spent the rest of the day looking after me between errands.
It was then that I knew I had a topic for my essay. If you were to ask me for an explanation of the word “hero”, I would say that it is someone who is there for you and is willing to sacrifice(牺牲) himself.
21. From the first paragraph, we can learn that the author_____________.
Was good at writing essays
Couldn’t list all the heroes in his essay
Didn’t think there were real heroes in the world
Found it difficult to choose the subject of his essay
22. The author felt sad that night because_____________.
His clock had broken down
He had missed the bus to school
He thought nothing of his grandfather’s help
His grandfather had missed an important meeting
23. Who will be the hero in the author’s essay?
His mother. B. His father.
C. His grandfather D. The author himself
B
There once lived a man who sold salt. He had a donkey to help him. Every morning, he would put a bag of salt on the donkey and go to the nearby town to sell it. On the way, they had to walk across a river.
One day, while crossing the river, the donkey fell into the water. The salt became wet. Some of the salt in the bag got dissolved(融化), making the bag on the donkey lighter. The donkey felt very happy about that .
From that day on, the donkey often fell into the river on purpose whenever they crossed it to the market. One day, the man noticed the donkey falling into the water on purpose.
The following morning , instead of putting a bag of salt on the donkey’s back, the man put a bag of cotton on the donkey’s back . When they crossed the same river, the donkey fell into the river again, hoping that the bag would become lighter. The cotton got wet. But this time, when he got up, the bag on his back became heavier. The donkey was surprised at what had happened.
The man looked at the donkey and said, “Dear friend, I saw you fall into the river on purpose every day. You wanted to reduce the weight of the salt in this way. So, I put a bag of cotton on your back today. When it gets wet, cotton becomes heavier. Now you will have to carry it to the town.” The poor donkey had learnt his lesson.
24. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to ?
A. Not losing the bag. B. Carrying a lighter bag
C. Crossing the same river. D. Making the salt become wet.
25. Why did the donkey often fall into the river?
A. The river was too deep. B. He wanted to have a rest.
C. He wanted to lose some salt. D. The bag on his back was too heavy.
26. The man changed the bag in order to_______ .
A. earn much more money. B. teach the donkey a lesson.
C. keep the donkey from the river. D. reduce the weight on the donkey.
27. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. A little learning is a dangerous thing. B .Men who are grateful are usually good.
C. Don’t cross a bridge until you come to it. D. Cutting corners only creates more paperwork.
C
Scientists?study it. An increasing number of self-help books tell us the way to find it. In fact, the pursuit of happiness has been called the ultimate?(最终的)?goal in life by countless talks, TV shows and newspaper and magazine columns. However, happiness, as it was before, is still hard to find. ????US psychologist Ed Diener, author of?Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, may have the answer: “a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions”. This may sound straightforward enough, but it still doesn’t explain what determines people’s happiness. And as The Washington Post argued in an article last month, creating a definition of happiness that is true for people around the world can seem as difficult as being happy. ???For example, who is happier: someone who has enough money to buy a new mobile phone or someone who has a family dinner after years away from home? ???Nevertheless, as many surveys suggest, one of the most important parts of happiness is wealth. The UN’s World Happiness Report 2015 shows that countries with the highest levels of happiness are developed ones, with Switzerland, Iceland and Denmark making up the top three. But on the other hand, Bhutan, one of the poorest countries in the world, was named the happiest country in Asia and the eighth happiest in the world in research by Business Week in 2012. ???Perhaps the biggest problem is how the idea of “happiness” varies in different cultures and languages. ???As The Washington Post noted, the word “happy” can refer to different things in English. It might mean a brief mood you feel when someone surprises you with a gift or you think of friends and family. Or it could refer to satisfaction with your life. But not all languages refer to happiness the same way. In Danish, for example, happiness is often translated as “lykke”, a term that can describe everyday well-being that might come from a?nice cup of coffee or a slice of bread with cheese. ????In Chinese, the word for happiness is xingfu, which is used to describe a good life or a circumstance (境遇) that makes people feel free from worry. For a good mood, however, kuaile is used more often. ???Another difference in the?view?of happiness, as The Washington Post put it, is that Western countries tend to have quite an “individualistic view of human life”. In China and many other Asian countries, social relationships, with family in particular, are one of the most important factors in a person’s well-being. ????So, are you happy? And what makes you happy?
28. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To explore why it is harder to find happiness than ever. B. To point out factors that bring people happiness. C. To promote US psychologist Ed Diener’s book on happiness. D. To explain why it’s hard to give a universal definition of happiness across the world. 29. What does the translation of “happiness” in Danish mean according to the article? A. Being wealthy.??? B. Being successful.? ?C. Everyday well-being.? D. A life with meaning. 30. How do Chinese people and people from Western countries view happiness differently? A. Wealth is regarded as the most important source of happiness in Western countries. B. Family bonds are believed to be closely connected to a person’s well-being in China. C. Social interaction plays a more important role in a person’s well-being in Western countries than in China. D. Chinese people get more happiness from their personal achievements than people from Western countries do. 31. How is the article mainly developed? A. Through examples.????????????????????????? B. Through cause and effect analysis. C. By following the order of time.?????????????? ?? D. By presenting research?findings.?

The hated mobile phone roaming（漫游）charges that greatly affect tourists’ trips around Europe are set to be ended, but you’ll have to wait until 2017 for it to happen.
The agreement announced on June 30 will end the frustration（懊恼）of European Union citizens on holiday or abroad for business who face too many charges for using their phones for calls and Internet browsing when in the EU but outside their home country.

“This is the end of a long process and we’re delighted we manage to produce a result that will mean specific improvement for citizens in the single market,” European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas said.
Commenting on the agreement, Gautam Srivastava, a mobile phone expert at MoneySuperMarket said, “The end of roaming charges in the EU is a great win for customers both in the UK and in Europe.”
“From June 2017 on, you’ll be able to use your mobile phone in the EU --- so no more worrying about data limits or making and receiving calls when you’re on your holidays,” added Gautam Srivastava.
32.The text is most probably ___________.

D. It hasn’t been officially approved so far.

Last weekend, I went to the zoo and saw the panda, the animal that I like best. The panda was not only the sign of rare animals but also a sign of China. Pandas are so lovely that almost all people are like them. But as the balance of nature is destroying, pandas become less. They mainly live on bamboo, and each panda needs to eat a lot bamboo every day. The area of bamboo is becoming smaller for many difference reasons, so pandas have less land to live on. Pandas don’t have many babies, and baby pandas often die, that makes the situation more serious. However, our government is working hardly to save them and many new plans have been made to increase the numbers of pandas. I hope that there will be more and more pandas live in the wild.

One possible version:
Hi, Jack,? I have read your e-mail. I think what you are worrying about is not a big problem. When students move between classes, old friendships often suffer as new ones seem to take their place. But it isn’t always the case. If you truly value the friendship, you should be able to make an effort to promote it. There is nothing to stop you spending time with your friends. You can arrange more time to gather on the weekends, communicating with each other. At the same time,you can explain that you are growing apart but you all treasure the friendship. More importantly, you all should keep the relationship and encourage each other. Thus you can adjust to new classes as early as possible and get improved together. The worst thing is just to worry about something but do nothing to make it right. Try taking some action! Good luck!

W: No, Mr. Bradley. I used to work at First Savings Bank across the street, so I’m very familiar with the area.
M: Wonderful. So, I can see from your résumé that you have a lot of experience in the banking sector. Before First Savings, you were at Bank of the West, right? (14)

M: I think the business environment here would suit you very well, Ms. Wilson. When can you start? (16)

The Palace of Fine Arts was one of the 10 palaces built in 1915 for the Panama-Pacific International Expo.(17)Set within a park, the Roman-style architecture draws many tourists, especially wedding parties who use it as a backdrop for their photos. (18) While sitting on a bench or lying on a blanket on the grass, picnicking is possible. But you’ll have to share your space with those who live there, namely, ducks, seagulls, pigeons, and swans. Even from a short distance away from the palace itself, you’ll be able to see its tall columns and round tower that look like nothing else in the city. Located on 17 acres at 3301 Lyon Street in San Francisco,(19)the palace is within walking distance to the former military base of the Presidio. Oddly enough, during World War II, the U.S. Army used the palace to store military trucks and jeeps.(20) In 1994, the Presidio was transferred to the National Park Service, marking the final chapter in the area’s use as a military facility. The happy tourists and even happier birds seem to appreciate this!
