One possible version:
What is conveyed above is that the Chinese culture is involved in diverse aspects all over the globe, there existing many instances.
I am more than happy to see that our country has made great achievements which can influence the world so much. With our economy developing, China has become a powerful nation and is playing an irreplaceable role in the world. For example, I feel proud that Chinese acupuncture which can ease patients’ pain vastly enjoys great popularity abroad and a growing number of foreigners favor Chinese furniture when decorating houses.
From my perspective, we are supposed to expand the influence of Chinese culture through cooperation with foreign companies. We can make full use of TV programs and films as platforms to attract international audiences. At the same time, we should spread Chinese culture in a way so that foreigners can understand and accept what we try to convey.2017-2018学年度第二学期高二期中考试

I’m very 45 and I wanted to win.
In the two years it had taken to organize the adventure, my muscles had worsened but we 46 regardless. The unpleasant life coaching and cold training helped me to 47 how my body would behave in extreme cold, which made me aware of what to 48 in the coming “competition”.
I had an amazing team around me, 49 the four different flights we took to get to the inner Arctic ice shelf were nevertheless discouraging. While we were on the ice, the runway got slightly 50 and we had to wait for it to refreeze. 51 we reached the north pole, I was bitterly cold, exhausted and a complete 52 . I was on the ice for the best part of three long days, then 53 the final 350m. My expedition raised 50,000 for 54 .

第三部分：阅读理解（共15题，每题2分，满分30分）

A
Searching for a job does not happen overnight. It takes a while to find out what you would like to pursue, matching your qualifications to a job and finding the right location. But even with a specific list, very few job applicants will find a job that suits all of their requirements. What are some ways to go about finding a job that will be right for you
Networking
Many people are able to find a job that they like through networking. The advantage of networking is that family or friends will be able to provide an inside knowledge of the job, the pay, an honest opinion of what it is like to work there. They will tell you things that employers may withhold from a job interview, because they want to create the best possible impression rather than highlight any of the disadvantages that the company has. An added benefit of networking is that friends and family members can inform you of a job opening soon after it becomes available and then put in a good word for you to their employers. Employers are often favourably disposed to potential employees even before they have arrived for a job interview because their friends or relatives have taken the time to recommend them.
Job fairs
Job fairs are a great place to start looking for a job when you know what you would like to do. Employers will be on the lookout for capable people who can help to fill position. If you keep up to date with when the next local job fair will be held, you may walk away with a job.
Newspaper ads
Local newspapers will advertise for jobs in their classified section. Many jobs can now be applied for online, which saves the time and effort of filling in a paper application and putting your resume in the post. Make sure you still follow through with the job application. Do not just apply for the job and then wait for a reply. Fill it in by the date that is listed and then wait a few days and call the company. It is important to be proactive (先发制人的) and show that you are interested in the job. The job will not come to you.
Yellow pages
It is possible to find a job by simply reading through the yellow pages, calling companies directly and asking for a job. Some companies do not put out their listings straightaway, which mean you may learn of a job before it has even been advertised. That shows initiation and drive for the job.
Finding a job is daunting (使人畏缩的)but with a little forethought and preparation. you need not take too long to find a suitable job.
56. The purpose of this article is to .
A. show how to apply for a job
B. show how to succeed in finding a job
C. share some information about different jobs that suit us
D. show some requirements we should meet when applying for a job
57. It's more likely for us to get some hidden information about the job we want to apply for through .
A. Networking B. Job fairs C. Newspaper ads D. Yellow pages
58. What does the underlined part "are often favourably disposed to" （Paragraph2）most probably mean
A. have a good knowledge of B. have a built-in prejudice against
C. have a potential interest in D. have a close study of
By saying "The job will not come to you" (Paragraph 4), the author implies that
.
A. You will not get the job. B. It requires some efforts to get the job.
C. The job doesn't suit you. D. You aren't qualified for the job.
B
A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops．
Students are increasingly using laptops for note taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度). But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.
In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.
The researchers' report said, “While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”
In another experiment aimed at testing long term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.
60. More and more students favor laptops for note taking because they can ________.
A. write more notes B. apply concepts better
C. get higher scores D. understand lectures better
61. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be ________.
A. skilful B. mindless C. thoughtful D. tireless
62. The author of the passage aims to ________.
A. examine the importance of long term memory
B. stress the benefit of taking notes by hand
C. explain the process of taking notes
D. promote the use of laptops
C
Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farmers have undergone an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide all the power.
One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for hog(猪) producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.
Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear(修剪) sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the special barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.
63. According to the passage, computers can not help farmers decide _____________.
A. how much money they can earn from their products
B. whether to plant a certain kind of crop
C. whom to sell their livestock to
D. when to sell their products
64. Which of the following statements is true
A. Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.
B. Both computers and robots have been in use on today's farms.
C. Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.
D. Farmers can do nothing without the help of computers on today's farms.
65. What is the best title for the passage
A. Computer—Farmers' Best Friend. B. Farmers in the Future.
C. Robots in the future. D. Revolution on the farm.
D
In less than 60 years the people of my tribe have gone from being an independent nation, to cultural prisoners, to welfare recipients (享有者) . Is it any wonder that there are so many problems facing indigenous (土著的) Australians today
When I was growing up in Kowanyama there were 15 people in my class, I am the only one who has gone to university. I’m also the only girl in my class who did not have a child at 15. Of the boys in my class, seven have been incarcerated, two for murder, five for robbery and rape. Only three of us are not alcoholics. Four of my classmates have committed suicide.
Life as a young aborigine is not easy, in any setting. The story of my fellow students is a lesson in the importance of the problems that young indigenous people face.
The two issues that are central to changing this story are education and health. There is a huge gap between what we get in communities and what other kids get in cities.
One of the problems facing education in remote indigenous schools is that teachers tend to be just out of training and stay for only a year or two. Not one teacher stayed for the whole of my nine years at school—not even the principals. This seeming lack of commitment makes you feel they don’t care.
We need to review the curriculum in these communities because it is set at a very low level. I have had to draw the conclusion that governments and educationalists see us as less than white people.
Education should be uplifting, not serve to stress lack of self-esteem and the heart-rooted low expectations that our race suffer from.
We need a massive equal education policies and investment in education. We have spent so long listening to some white fellows telling us we are stupid, lazy no-hopers that the majority of my people actually believe it.
The relationship between poor education and poor health is clear. People whose self-esteem and pride have been destroyed by a substandard education system and a social system that creates an addiction to passive welfare have little reason to live healthy lives. Our health is getting worse.
The policies that determine the delivery of health services are deeply flawed by a bureaucracy(官僚主义) that does not want to hear our voices. Health services are often confined to the clinic.
It is problems and challenges such as these that led me to stand in last October’s ATSIC election. ATSITC is more than the board of commissioners and the Canberra bureaucracy. ATSIC is also people who are from community and work hard for community.
We recognize that governments cannot solve our problems for us. As young people we are trying to take responsibility for our future. I ask the Prime Minister, not that he fixes these problems for us but that he and his Government see us as equal partners in the huge task of rebuilding our families, communities and Cape York Peninsula.
He demonstrated his commitment by engaging his Government at the family and domestic violence summit. My view is that the level of domestic violence and child abuse sums up all that has been wrong with Aboriginal policy.
We need a new relationship to address this frightening reality in our lives.
I stand here as a proud Aboriginal woman, a Kokoberra woman as well as a criminologist, and I thank you for your time and attention.
Tania Major, 22, is an ATSIC regional councilor and a trainee manager at her home community of Kowanyama on Cape York.
This is an edited version of an address she is scheduled to give at a meeting between the Prime Minister and Cape York leaders (full text at . an).
66. Which of the following words can best describe Tania’s tone
A. regretful B. depressed C. serious D. humorous
67. The underlined word “incarcerated” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to___.
A. imprisoned B. killed C. dismissed D. criticized
68. We can infer from the passage that in Australia___.
A. few teachers are willing to work in indigenous schools because they are poorly paid
B. the curriculum in indigenous schools has to be easier otherwise the students will fail
C. the undereducated aborigines are considered to be lazy and dependent on welfare
D. a good education can help the aboriginal people to learn to set high expectations
69. Who do you think are Tania’s audience
A. Aboriginal people. B. Young boys and girls in Kowanyama.
C. Teachers and principals. D. The prime minister and the Cape York leaders.
70. What is the main idea of the passage
A. ATSIC doesn’t serve the people because of its incompetence and bureaucracy.
B. The aboriginal people can learn to be responsible for their future if treated equally.
C. The government has adopted fresh policies related to the delivery of health services.
D. The biggest problems facing the aboriginal people are domestic violence and child abuse.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
If you haven't heard or seen anything about road rage(路怒症) in the last few months, you've probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon, and you have most likely run into aggressive driving or road rage recently if you drive at all. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 41,907 people died on the highways last year. Of those deaths, the agency estimates that about two-thirds, were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.
Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago Experts have several theories. One suggestion is overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11%. and the number of miles driven has increased by 35%. However, the number of new road miles has only increased by 1%. That means more cars in the same amount of space. Also, people have less time, but more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.
Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major conflict. If you are susceptible (easily influenced) to road rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way.
1. Keep your driving environment calm. Creating a positive driving environment will help keep you calm and you are more likely to pay no attention to the road rage of others. For example you can listen to music that makes you happy.
2. Allow yourself plenty of time. Being late will make you anxious and impatient, so you'll be more likely to get angry at other drivers and make irresponsible driving decisions that will make them angry at you. Leaving yourself plenty of drive time will help you stay relaxed.
3. Be a polite driver. Allow other drivers pass you or get over into your lane if needed. Helping other drivers will put you and them in a more peaceful state of mind and following the rules of the road will keep you safe.
4. Avoid confrontation(对抗). If an angry driver yells at you or shares a rude gesture out of his or her window, don't make eye contact or yell back. Keep your eyes on the road and ignore the angry driver. Fighting and driving angrily is dangerous to both of you as well as the other drivers and will only make things worse.
Road Rage
Present (71) It's estimated that in the last year, about two-thirds of the deaths on the high way (72) from aggressive driving behavior at least in part.
(73) for road rage The following factors in certain situations can (74) for Road Rage.·The roads have been (75) with cars in the last decade.·People have less time and more things to do, so their stress levels have been high enough to create anxiety, (76) to short tempers.

Chinese actress Liu Yifei is set to star as the female warrior in Disney’s live-action adaptation of the classic Chinese epic, Mulan. The film will be set for a release in 2019.
The original animated version in 1998 earned $304. 3 million worldwide as well as Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations.
A Hero Born, the first volume of famous Chinese martial arts novelist Jin Yong’s Legends of the Condor Heroes, was published in English for the first time. After years of hard work, the 400-page translation, priced at 14.99 pounds($20. 8), finally hit bookstores. This latest translation project is the most ambitious with regard to Jin Yong’s works.
It’s been 14 years since customer services manager Anthony Gentles was inspired to cheer up the “blank faces”of passengers with wisdom from his favorite book, Tao Te Ching (道德经).
Mr. Gentles said offering up pearls of wisdom from ancient China was his way of trying to make people feel more welcome as they braved the Underground.
