others.

Rosa
Parks
Rosa
Parks
helped
to
change
a
law
that
was
unfair
to
African-American
people.
That
law
said
that
African-Americans
had
to
sit
in
the
back
of
city
buses.
One
day
in
1955.
Parks
was
riding
on
a
city
bus
in
Alabama.
The
driver
told
her
to
give
her
seat
to
a
white
person.
She
refused
to
move.
Thousands
of
people
heard
this
story

buses

law
was

Airbus
says
it
plans
to
test
a
self-flying
vehicle
to
transport
people
in
the
sky
above
busy
city
streets.
Testing
of
the
“air
taxi”
is
expected
to
start
before
the
end
of
2017,
according
to
Airbus
CEO
Tom
Enders.
France-based
Airbus
is
one
of
the
largest
airplane
manufacturers(制造商)in
the
world.
It
makes
airplanes,
helicopters
and
space
equipment.
“One
hundred
years
ago,
urban
transport
went
underground,
now
we
have
the
technological to
go
above
ground,”
Enders
told
reporters.
He
said
that
while
Airbus
is
just
starting
to
experiment
with
flying
vehicles,
it
is
taking
the
developments
“very
seriously.”
“If
we
ignore
these
developments,
we
will
be
pushed
out
of
the
business,”
Enders
said.
The
flying
vehicles
would
be
part
of
a
taxi-style
service
allowing
riders
to
book
through
an
App,
the
same
way
as
car-sharing
companies.
Enders
added
that flying
vehicles
can
greatly
reduce
costs
for
city
infrastructure(基础设施)projects
like
roads
and
bridges.
Airbus
is
looking
at
using
electric
vehicles
to
avoid
adding
more
pollution
to
crowded
cities.
Last
October,
ride-sharing
company
Uber announced
its
plan to
use
flying
vehicles
in
the
future
to
avoid
ground
traffic
around
cities.
Uber’s
plan
would
use
small,
fully
electric
aircraft
that
could
take
off
and
land
like
a
helicopter,
without
the
need
for
long
runways.
The
company
said
its
flying
vehicles
would
also
be
much
quieter
and
less
polluting
than
helicopters.
Uber
has
said
its
planned
flying
service
could
become
reality
within
10
years.
18.
How
will
users
get
“air
taxi”
service
in
the
future
A.
With
their
plane
tickets
B.
With
their
smart
phones
C.
By
buying
flying
vehicles
D.
By
joining
the
Airbus
Company
19.
Why
does
Airbus
take
the
“air
taxi”
developments
seriously
A.
It
would
otherwise
lose
the
market
in
the
future
B.
Airbus
is
the
only
company
to
develop
air
taxis
C.
The
developing
process
could
take
over
ten
years
D.
City
streets
are
getting
more
and
more
crowded
20.
What
will
be
a
major
advantage
of
electric
flying
vehicles
A.
Lower
traveling
cost
B.
Safer
trips
for
citizens

noise
and
pollution
D.

以下为A（易）、B（难）两种题型，任选一种，做A种题型的不做B种，做B种题型的不做A种。
Every
year
the
entertainment
magazine
People
publishes
a
list
of
who
it
considers
the
most
beautiful
people
in
the
world.
How
do
the
editors
choose
from
the
7
billion
people
on
the
earth
What
makes
a
person
beautiful
or
ugly
Last
year
the
magazine
named
Jennifer
Aniston
the
most
beautiful
woman
in
the
world.
Many
people
would
agree
that
she
is
good-looking.
However,
those
same
people
are
likely
to
differ
about
how
good-looking
Jennifer
is.
But
why
do
some
people
find
Jennifer
Aniston
gorgeous
and
others
think
she
is
just
attractive A
new
study
suggests
that
what
a
person
finds
good-looking
in
another
person
is
shaped
by
the
observer’s
environment
and
experiences.
Beauty,
say
experts,
is
very
individual.
Laura
Germine
is
a
researcher
in
Harvard
Medical
School.
She
co-led
the
study
in
which
over
35,000
people
took
part
by
rating
the
faces
of
people
in
photographs.
The
scientists
got
a
good
idea
of
the
face
preferences
of
different
people
from
examining
the
choices
made
by
the
online
group.
Then
the
researchers
turned
to
twins.
Identical
twins(同卵双胞胎)share
100%
of
their
genetic
material.
So,
the
scientists
expected
that
identical
twins
would
share
an
identical
face
preference.
In
fact,
the
preference
for
beautiful
faces
agreed
only
about
50%
of
the
time
even
among
twins.
The
findings
suggest
that
environmental
experiences
have
as
much
influence
on
people’s
idea
of
beauty
as
genetics.
So
it
could
be
that
if
a
person
has
a
relationship—a
romantic
or
friend
relationship—with
someone
they
are
very
close
to
or
they
really
like,
the
characteristics
of
that
person’s
face
will
then
seem
more
attractive
to
them
even
on
other
people.
In
other
words,
beauty
appears
very
much
to
be
in
the
eye
of
the
beholder.

（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。答案写在答题卡上。
How
to
Develop
Positive
Habits
Scientists
have
suggested
that
habits
should
be
formed
in
just
21
days.
All
it
takes
is
just
repetitive
actions
that
are
carried
out
on
a
daily
basis.
26
.
Decide
on
the
Habit.
27
To
do
this
effectively,
you
should
do
an
honest
soul
searching.
For
example,
you
might
be
adding
too
much
weight.
Then
a
habit
of
regular
exercise
should
be
on
your
list.
Make
a
Plan.
Secondly,
make
a
plan.
28
For
example,
when
you
want
to
form
the
habit
of
sticking
to
a
budget,
your
plan
could
include
writing
a
shopping
list
before
going
for
shopping
in
order
to
avoid
impulse(冲动)buying.
Gather
Support.
The
next
step
to
develop
good
habits
is
gathering
support.
29
Let
them
know
that
you
are
determined
and
that
you
would
need
their
support
in
the
process.
If
they
can
about
you,
then
for
sure
they’ll
be
there
fore
you
when
you
are
in
need.
____30
In
your
journey
of
developing
good
habits,
be
sure
to
give
it
time.
Some
habits
might
take
longer
than
21
days
to
form.
It
also
depends
on
the
person.
It
will
take
time
and
strength
of
will.
At
one
point,
you
may
even
fail
to
keep
up
with
the
plan
or
achieve
your
goal.
Focus
on
motivating
yourself
and
conditioning
yourself
for
success.
A.
Be
Patient.
B.
Reward
Yourself.
C.
Tell
more
people
of
your
decision
and
plan.
D.
Much
like
positive
habits,
bad
habits
form
after
regular
actions.
E.
With
this
knowledge
at
hand,
I’ll
focus
on
how
to
develop
positive
habits.
F.
This
is
basically
deciding
in
advance
what
should
be
done
and
how
it
should
be
done.
G.
The
first
step
to
develop
positive
habits
is
to
be
aware
of
the
habit
you
want
to
form.

完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，答案写在答题卡上。
“Okay
Beth,
one
more.
That’s
it.
Just
one
more.”
I
barely
finished
my
fifth
sit-up,
red-faced
and
31
.
My
trainer
stood
beside
me,
a
smile
on
her
face.
“I
can’t,”
I
said.
“Give
me
a
minute.”
As
I
lay
on
my
back,
I
wondered
again
how
I’d
gotten
to
this
point.
Five
sit-ups
“What
had
happened
to
the
woman
who
could
32
five
kilometers
in
the
water
at
a
time
and
did
yoga
several
times
a
week ”
I
asked
myself.
“She’s
33
,”
my
trainer
said
gently.
“Whoever
you
were,
you
have
to
34
being
who
you
are
now.”
But
I
don’t
want
to
be
who
I
am
now.
I
didn’t
want
to
have
myasthenia
gravis,
a
rare
disease
that
causes
great
muscle
weakness.
It
first
35
my
arms
until
I
had
difficulty
washing
my
hair,
and
then
attacked
my
36
until
walking
up
stairs
became
a
problem.
“
37
,
I
don’t
want
to
be
who
I
am
now.”
I
told
my
trainer.
“I
know,”
she
said.
“But
remember
that
fitness
isn’t
a
competition.
From
now
on
you
have
to
measure
yourself
against
yourself
and
that’s
it.
If
five
sit-ups
today,
then
six
tomorrow.
You
need
just
one
38
.”
I
took
her
39
to
heart
in
the
coming
months.
Sometimes
I’ll
watch
someone
40
or
swim
or
even
carry
a
baby
and
I
can’t
help
but
compare
myself
to
her.
Then
I’ll
41
my
trainer’s
voice
in
my
head,
telling
me
I
only
need
to
concentrate
on
being
myself.
I
can
still
dance
a
little,
I
can
swim
in
my
own
way
and
I
can
carry
a
baby
for
42
amounts
of
time.
I
may
not
be
as
healthy
as
43
,
but
I’m
still
trying
to
be
as
healthy
as
I
can
be.
I
keep
doing
just
one
more
of
44
I
need
to
do.
Most
of
the
time,
I’d
do
a
lot
more
than
“one”
before
I
finally
45

书面表达（满分20分）
假如你是李华，是“Children’s
Helpline(CH)”组织的一员，常通过邮件解决孩子们的困难，一天你收到8岁的Maggie发来的邮件。请仔细阅读并给Maggie写一封回信做出答复。
Dear
Ch,
Hello,
My
cat,
Shadow,
was
watching
TV
with
me
and
drank
a
few
sips
of
my
strawberry
milk.
It
had
been
on
the
table
and
he
drank
it
when
I
wasn’t
looking.
I
am
concerned
whether
this
may
affect
him
because
I
do
not
know
if
he
has
ever
drunken
milk
or
strawberry
milk.
I
am
only
8.
So
I
don’t
know
what
to
do.
Please
help
me.
Maggie
回信要点应包括：
1．肯定Maggie是一个负责任的宠物主人；
2．让Maggie不必担心，少量的牛奶不会伤害到它；
3．以后要注意看好Shadow，尽量不让它自己吃东西；
4．如果发现它有什么不适，让父母带它去宠物医院。
参考词汇：pet
owner,
amount,
keep
an
eye
on,
discomfort,
harmful,
animal
hospital
注意：1．可适当增加细节，使行文连贯；2．词数80—100个词；
3．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。
Dear
Maggie,
I’m
so
sorry
we
weren’t
able
to
get
to
you
sooner.
