Sarah MacHarg was 10 when she first played bridge. “My school had a program, and my parents encouraged me to play,” Sarah, who lives in?Reno,?Nevada, said. “They don't play, but my grandparents did.” Sarah's dad took classes with her but found that the game was too difficult for him.?“It's a challenging (有挑战的) game, but playing with friends makes it fun!”?Sarah says.
Bridge was once played mainly by older people. Now schools are teaching kids the game. “Bridge can help children develop thinking, memory, and math skills,” Sheila Terens says. She helped start a bridge program in the Great Neck Public Schools, in?New York. “It is a team-building activity,” she adds.
Bridge developed from card games that were played in?England?in the 1500s. The game is played by four players in teams of two. Each player receives 13 cards from a deck of (一副) 52 cards. Partners can't speak to each other about their cards. Instead, they give clues (提示) about what they have. Their bids (叫牌) give information about their cards.
In 2005, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett gave $1 million to help start bridge programs in schools. The business leaders are often bridge partners. Bridge players in?Atlanta,?Georgia, started a program for kids there in 2006.?Reno?Youth?Bridge, where Sarah takes classes, started nine years ago.
Sarah is now 16. She enjoys playing in tournaments (比赛). She plans to keep playing when she is in college.?“Bridge challenges your mind,”?she says,?“and is something you can play for a long time.”

Getting good at a sport is difficult enough. Mastering one and then reinventing yourself after moving halfway across the world is another story, but Abigail Fernandes is doing just that. The 17-year-old student was a good shooter while studying in?Britain. But when she moved back to?Hong Kong,?China, life suddenly felt a little empty without the eight hours a week of shooting training she'd become used to.
“I decided to go for a sport that might help me get fitter and allow me to protect myself in the future,”?she explains. With its high intensity (强度) exercise, and chances to build strength, boxing fit the bill perfectly.
“Boxing teaches you patience, but best of all, a hunger to learn,” she said. “The values and lessons the sport teaches you can all be used in both your day-to-day life and education.”
Now, she has been boxing for just a little more than three years and loves the challenges that this sport offers. She trains 10 hours a week with her coach Jim, who has helped her to grow as an athlete (运动员) and a person.
Though she has made great progress, she thinks being able to deal with hits in the ring is her biggest challenge. “When you get hit in the ring, it's so easy to burst into tears and give up, but this gets you nowhere,” she says. “I want to be able to take hits and accept them. These are skills that can only be learned through countless sessions (课) of sparring (轻拳出击). The first time I sparred I cried, so I'm proud of myself for never turning down a sparring session,”?she says.
Abigail says that though her training is pretty boring, she'll keep practicing as she looks for a competition where she can put her skills to the test. “I have a long way to go,” she says, “but I want to learn everything this sport has to offer!”
28. When did Abigail start boxing?
A. When she studied in?Britain.
B. Before she became a shooter.
C. After she came back to?China.
D. While she traveled half the world.
29. Why did Abigail decide to box?
A. To protect her family.
B. To prove her athletic ability.
C. To earn a living in the future.
D. To make her healthy and strong.
30. What is Abigail's opinion on boxing?
A. It is too dangerous.
B. It is a waste of time.
C. It changes her values.
D. It helps her in many ways.?
31. Which of the following words can best describe Abigail?
A. Clever but very shy.?
B. Lovely but careless.?????????
C. Brave and hard-working.? ????????????
D. Honest and warm-hearted.
[D]
Dogs certainly need to bark (犬吠) every now and then, but if your neighbor's dog is getting in the way of your daily life, you need to do something.
“Before you take action, you should record the dates and times that the barking happens to find out any patterns,” says Schweitzer, who is a dog owner. You might notice the barking only happens when the owners are at work, or during thunderstorms.
After two to three weeks of observing (观察), go to your neighbors with the facts. Wait for a time when the barking is over.?“Since you're trying to keep a good relationship, you can't go when you're angry and upset,”?says Schweitzer. Besides, your neighbors might not even realize the barks are a problem, especially if the worst barking happens when they're not at home.
Politely explain the times when the barking gets bad, and then suggest a way of solving the problem. Ask if the dog can stay inside during storms, or offer a dog training class.
Making friends with the dog could help you gain some peace and quiet. If your neighbors introduce you to their dog, you should give the dog a treat. “If they become more comfortable seeing you, they're less likely to bark when they see you or when they're in the backyard,” says Schweitzer.
Whatever you do, don't talk with your other neighbors about the problem or start a petition (诉状) to get the dog to quiet down.?“Those make people feel angry,”?says Schweitzer.?“That's when things?escalate.”
If weeks go by and you still aren't seeing a difference, follow up with a note. Tie a dog treat on the note to build trust with your neighbors, and make a copy before dropping it off. That way, you'll have evidence (证据) that you've discussed it before and followed up politely if you need to bring in a third party, says Schweitzer.
32. What should people do first according to Schweitzer?
A. Record when the dog barks.
B. Find out why the barking happens.
C. Find out if the dog is really dangerous.
D. Record when the neighbor is usually out.
33. When would be a good time for you to talk to your neighbor?
A. When the dog is barking.
B. When you are feeling calm.
C. When you've found a problem.
D. When your neighbor is walking the dog.
34. What does the underlined word “escalate” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Become familiar.
B. Become worse.
C. Get interesting.
D. Get personal.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. How to teach your dog to be quiet.
B. What to do when your neighbor has a dog.
C. How to deal with a neighbor's noisy dog.
D. What to do if your neighbor makes you angry.

One possible version:
Recently our school has carried out a survey “To whom you pour out your troubles” .
The result shows that 71% of the students select friends or schoolmates as their listeners. The reason is that they are of the same age and have a better understanding of each other. Another 22% choose teachers and parents to talk to, thinking teachers and parents are rich in life and educational experiences. Nevertheless, 7% don't share their troubles at all. They say that their troubles are none of others' business. Some even find it hard to get along well with others.
It seems clear that some students still lack communication with others and need help from teachers and parents. Great attention should be paid to their mental health.

Remember you said you’d like to come over to the UK sometime this year? Well, I was thinking that this year you might like to come to the Edinburgh Festival with me in August. I’ve got an aunt with a flat in the city centre who could put us up.
Do you know much about the festival? It’s very famous?—?the biggest, most popular arts festival in the world! There are lots of things going on?—?art exhibitions (展览), concerts of all kinds, modern dance, a book festival, etc. The thing it’s most famous for is the newest and most exciting theatre. People come from all over the world and perform (表演) in their own language.
In Scotland you have the best of both worlds: culture and wild land. After the festival, we could hire (租) a car and go up to some of the islands off the west coast, like Skye. The weather can be changeable in August, but the landscape (风景) is beautiful, with empty beaches and rocky mountains. It’s the perfect place for you to take photos. Afterwards, we could head back to the east coast and visit my friend Rob in St. Andrews. It’s really pretty and Rob’s enjoyable to be with. You’d get on well with him.
So, why don’t you have a think about it and then get back to me? Take your time, there’s no rush.
????????????????????????????????????????? ? Speak to you soon,
????????????????????????????????????? ?????????? ??Sophie

Schoolgirl Lorna O’Brien was in her kitchen when she looked out of the window and was terrified at what she saw. “Help!” she shouted. “There’s smoke and fire coming out of the kitchen window opposite.”
Her father, John, ran across to the house while her 15-year-old brother Paul called the fire service. Lorna, 16, rushed across and caught up with her dad, who had just kicked open the front door. They looked upstairs where they saw smoke coming out of the top flat. Lorna followed her father into the flat, where they found a pan (平底锅) on fire in the kitchen and the young mother, Mane Linn, who had been asleep, passed out (失去意识) in the smoke-blackened sitting room. Lorna’s dad threw a wet cloth over the pan and then turned off the stove (炉子) before starting to help Mane through the smoke down the stairs to safety.
Suddenly Mane started crying, “My baby, my baby!” “Where’s the baby?” asked Lorna. “In the bedroom,” Mane shouted back. While John pulled the crying mother from the house, Lorna, without a thought for her own safety, turned back to search for the baby. She found the little girl, 14-month-old Ann, lying with her eyes closed.
Lorna quickly took the baby, rushed downstairs through the fire and smoke. “It didn’t cross my mind at the time that I was near to dying when I rushed through the smoke,” said Lorna. “I was just thinking of the baby. Even after I came out of the house, I wasn’t frightened.”
When help arrived, baby Ann and her mum were taken to hospital for treatment. It was only when Lorna got back into the safety of her own house that she realised the danger she had faced. “I started shaking all over and thought of what could have happened to me,” she said.

Our street is a short, one-way street, four blocks from the Charles River. It’s lined with three-family homes, built at the turn of the century for people who worked at factories and needed places to live.
There are families and single people, older couples and students in this street. There are Greeks and Chinese and white Americans.
If you head down the street and make a left turn, you may run across Billy Davis. He was born on that street and is now a retiree (退休人士). He’ll tell you all about Cambridge in the old days. He’ll tell you how he couldn’t?act up?because there were so many watching mamas on his street and they all had eyes on the naughty (顽皮的) kids in the neighbourhood. He might do something wrong, but the minute he walked in his own house, his mum would say?“Hey, what were you doing down at the park?”?and it was all over. His stories need telling and we are eager (渴望的) listeners.
Walk over a block and you reach our neighbourhood mechanic, Phil. He’s the best mechanic in all Cambridge and will give you fair prices and honest statements of what’s wrong with your car.
Walk the other way to Central Square and you’ll come across the Village Grill, run by Theo and Helen. It’s a small neighbourhood restaurant. Whatever you order, you will always find it is worth every penny (便士). You don’t just pay for food, but you pay for conversation and it is always interesting. Theo and Helen are Greek, so the conversation turns Greek sometimes.
I walk out of the house on this Monday morning, and smile at my neighbourhood. It’s going to be a hot day, and tonight will see many of us at our front door, observing (观察) each other through plants.

When a fire happened in East Africa’s biggest second-hand clothes market in Nairobi, Kenya last week, the manager, William Ruto, went there at once to tell traders that the government would do everything to help them to rebuild their business.
But perhaps Ruto should have answered a more important question: whether Gikomba market will be in business a year from now if a ban (禁令) on the importation (进口) of second-hand clothes into east Africa comes into force.
In January, east African head of states suggested that Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania should stop importing used clothes to help the local textile industry (当地纺织业).
Kenya alone imports around 100,000 tonnes of second-hand clothes a year — many of which were sent to shops in the west. An Oxfam-owned second-hand clothes shop in Senegal sees, for example, a Forever 21 dress once worn by a young woman in London find its way into the room of a university student in Kenya. But if the ban goes through, Kenyans will be forced to buy locally produced clothes, giving textile producers a chance to re-enter the market they lost to cheap imports from abroad.
The collapse (崩溃) of Kenya’s textile industry dates back to the early 1980s, when it opened up the local market to second-hand clothes. The clothes soon caught the eye of the young population, leading to the collapse of many of Kenya’s textile factories.
According to local media reports, there were 500,000 people working in the textile industry in the 1980s. Today, that number has fallen by more than 96% to around 20,000.
Banning the importation of used clothes is the government’s latest effort to save an industry and to recreate some of those lost jobs. But, a ban could hurt another group of Kenyans who depend on the second-hand clothes trade to make a living.
32. Why did Ruto come to Gikomba market after the fire?
A. To tell traders about a new ban.
B. To bring traders hopeful information.
C. To help traders rebuild their business.
D. To check whether the fire was put out.
33. Why will some African countries stop importing used clothes?
A. They are not good enough.
B. They are sold at high prices.
C. They are not popular with the locals.
D. They do no good to the local industry.
34. What was Kenya’s textile industry like before the 1980s?
A. It developed very slowly.
B. It produced very cheap clothes.
C. It played a role in creating jobs.
D. It produced clothes especially for young people.
35. What does the author think of the importation ban?
A. It won’t come into force.
B. It can’t save the textile industry.
C. It is a wonderfully wise decision.
D. It has advantages and disadvantages.

A
Two years ago I started working from home. At first I enjoyed being at home. I could eat when I wanted to and wear whatever I liked. However, after a bit I missed meeting with my colleagues. Now I’ve moved into an office and just do one or two days a week at home. I feel I work better because I’m not in the same place all day every day. I agree with people who say that a bit of both is the best choice.
—?John
I work at home for a company (公司) that has closed several offices. Some companies that introduced home working have not had much success. I don’t think they should go back to making all their workers work in offices. It would be better to retrain their managers. Managers who deal with home workers have to be able to develop team spirit among home working people. They must be in regular (定期的) communication with people in their teams, but not always be checking up on them.
—?Simon
Talking with colleagues at the office is enjoyable. However, most of the talking done in offices is time-wasting and nothing to do with work. Sometimes it’s very troublesome. I’ve worked at home for over twenty years. Every three months I have to go into the office for a meeting. I quite enjoy the time I spend there. It’s all good fun, but I’m really surprised to see how much time people waste there. I haven’t had great success in my job, but I’ve been at home to see my children grow up.
—?James
I used to find it difficult to work in an office. People often stood behind my desk and had loud conversations. I’m a software (软件) developer and I really have to concentrate on (专注于) my work. I find I work much better at home where no one breaks my concentration. However, it’s really important that you control yourself and carry on with your work no matter where you are.
—?Paul

B. Troubled. ?
C. Pleased. ?????????????????

4. What does Paul think is the advantage of working at home?

B
Hundreds of angry people took to the streets in London and at least ten other English cities in 2011. Buildings were destroyed, shops burnt and things taken away. Many of the rioters (暴乱者) were caught on CCTV cameras, but most of the images (图像) were poor and the rioters had covered their faces.
Gary Collins, a policeman, was watching the London riots on TV. He recognised (认出) several people at once and cut his holiday short to help with identification (鉴别). He ended up spending six months going through the CCTV film and managed to identify 190 people, many from their eyes alone, while facial recognition software managed to identify just one person.
Collins is a special police officer. Soon after joining the police force, he realised he had a good memory for faces: after seeing a face for a few seconds, he could remember it clearly years later. He is what is known as a super-recogniser. This term was first used in 2009 when a study showed that about 1-2 per cent of the population are exceptionally good at recognising faces. They can remember up to 95 per cent of faces they see, whereas most other people remember about 20 per cent.
London’s Metropolitan Police set up a unit of super-recognisers in 2015 after Collins’ success proved it could be useful. It is the first of its kind in the world. Mick Neville, one of its founders, had realised that there was a problem with CCTV back in 2008. CCTV film was not used properly and did not seem to work well on crime (犯罪) prevention. If criminals were caught on film, they knew they were unlikely to be recognised.
Neville’s unit has changed all that. Since it started, the tiny team of six officers has made nearly a quarter of all identifications in London, mainly by spending hours going through film and photos. This team work of human skill and technology is of great importance and has helped recognise many different kinds of criminals.
5. What did Gary Collins do after seeing the riots on TV?
A. He decided to become a police officer.
B. He left his job for six months.
C. He changed his holiday plans.
D. He headed for London.
6. How did Gary Collins manage to identify so many rioters?
A. He spent many hours looking at images on CCTV film.
B. He knew more about cameras than the public.
C. He had received special memory training.
D. He has an exceptional memory for faces.
7. Why did the author mention the story of Gary Collins?
A. To praise him for his hard work.
B. To make clear the London riots in 2011.
C. To introduce the topic of super-recognisers.
D. To encourage readers to join the police office.
8. According to Mick Neville, what was a problem with CCTV?
A. The police didn’t have time to watch all the film.
B. It was hard to identify criminals from the film.
C. There weren’t enough cameras on the streets.
D. The film wasn’t good enough.

There have been great changes in our neighbourhood in the last two years.
The streets used to be dirty with rubbish almost everywhere. Now they are clean and tidy. Two years ago there were no entertainment centres in our neighbourhood while now several small squares have been built with enough sports facilities, where people can exercise or do something to relax after a day’s work. Another change is that many more trees, flowers and grass have been planted.
I believe people living here are enjoying a happier life with so many changes.

第一节
主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习
本文是记叙文。在南苏丹，因为人们生活贫穷、思想观念落后等原因，许多女孩被迫早早嫁人，没有机会接受教育。作者便是其中的一位。幸运的是，在哥哥的帮助下，作者重新开始求学生涯。
41. A。由下文中的school可知，在南苏丹，女孩们在“教育（education）”方面遇到许多障碍。
42. B。由本句中的because their parents cannot meet the costs可知，许多女孩上不起学，故填afford。afford意为“承担得起”。
43. A。由本句中的which eats into their time?可知，女孩们有“繁重的（heavy）”家务活要干。eat into sth.?消耗、花掉、耗费（尤指金钱或时间）。
44. C。由through ignorance可知，一些父母因为无知，不“允许（allow）”他们的女儿上学。
45. D。由第一段的描述以及本句中的girls can be married off early可知，另一个“问题（problem）”是女孩们会早早嫁人。
46. B。47. B。48. C。由本段中的We don’t have ... to choose the person we wish to marry以及My parents married me off when I was studying可知，女孩们早早地就嫁人了，通常被“强行（by force）”那样做。女孩们没有“权利（right）”选择自己想嫁的人。（在南苏丹，一个男人要结婚必须给新娘家人牛群作为聘礼。）女孩们的父母会把她们“送给（give）”聘礼给的最高的那个人。
49. D。由more people are going hungry可知，人们将女儿嫁了换取牛以“生存下去（live）”。
50. A。由本句中的My parents married me off when I was studying以及下文中的He brought me to ... for girls who have dropped out of school可知，“我”还在上学时，父母将“我”嫁人了，于是“我”不得不“辍学（leave school）”。
51. D。由下文中的He brought me to a ... centre for girls who have dropped out of school以及全文的描述可知，哥哥对“我”“帮助（helped）”很大。
52. B。53. A。由Accelerated Secondary Education for Women (ASEW)以及下文中的ASEW was a school without punishment and school fees ... a day school, not boarding school?可知，?ASEW?是一个“学习（learning）”中心，“想要（wants）”帮助辍学的女孩们完成学业。
54. B。由上文中的He brought me to ... Accelerated Secondary Education for Women (ASEW)?以及I saw that the headteacher was a woman可知，此处表示当“我”“来到（came to）”ASEW时。
55. D。由上文可知，在南苏丹，因为多种原因，许多女孩会早早嫁人，没有机会接受教育。作者也不例外。因此，当作者来到ASEW，看到校长是一名女校长时，她很受“鼓舞（encouraged）”。
56. A。由It was a day school, not boarding school可知，“我”有“时间（time）”给家里帮忙。
57. C。由本句中的so we could complete our education more quickly可知，我们的课程进行得很快，故填speeded up。speed up?意为“（使）加速”。
58. D。由protected from outsiders以及下文中的It is extremely dangerous for women and girls可知，在ASEW学习中心，我们很“安全（safe）”。
59. A。It is extremely dangerous for women and girls与there is fighting all around Rumbek之间是因果关系，故填as。
60. C。结合全文可知，“我”在哥哥的帮助下重新开始求学生涯。因此，“我”希望其他女孩也有这样的“机会（chances）”。
第二节
61. a。考查不定冠词。city是可数名词，且此处表示泛指。故填a。
62. tourists。考查名词复数。设空处作宾语，表示“游客”，因为tourist是可数名词，此处表示泛指，且设空处前无限定词，故填tourists。
63. living。考查动词-ing形式作宾语的用法。enjoy doing sth.?意为“喜欢做某事”。
64. smaller。考查形容词比较级。由语境以及much可知，此处表示“乡村的镇子要小得多”。故填smaller。
65. friendly。考查形容词作表语的用法。设空处作表语，说明主语people的状态，由语境及very可知，此处表示“友好的”，故填形容词friendly。
66. is。考查主谓一致。设空处所在句是there be?结构，主语air是不可数名词，故谓语动词应用单数，又因为此处描述的是客观情况，应用一般现在时，故填is。
67. to see。考查固定用法。I’d = I would，would like to do sth.?意为“愿意做某事”，故填to see。
68. that / which。考查关系代词。设空处引导定语从句修饰peace，且在从句中作主语，故填that / which。
69. have been。考查现在完成时。设空处所在句意为“到目前为止，我已经在这儿待了六个多月”，设空处表示的状态从过去开始、持续到现在，应用现在完成时，故填have been。
70. to。考查介词。设空处所在句意为“我已经习惯了这儿平静的生活”，故填介词to。be / get used to?意为“习惯于”。

2. D。细节理解题。由第二段中的It would be better to ... home working people可知，Simon认为推行在家工作效果不理想的公司应该对管理者进行培训，以提高他们建立下属团队精神的能力。

4. B。细节理解题。由最后一段中的I used to find it difficult to ... concentrate on my work可知，在公司有许多人在周围大声说话，使得Paul难以专心工作；又由I find I work much better at home where no one breaks my concentration可知，家里没人打扰，Paul发现在家工作比在公司好得多；因此Paul认为在家工作的优点是他可以更专心地工作。
B篇
主题语境：人与社会——社会
本文是说明文。世界上有少数人拥有一项特殊的能力：他们对见过的人几乎过目不忘。这些人的能力在辨认罪犯这项工作中发挥着极其重要的作用。
5. C。细节理解题。由第二段中的He recognised ... with identification可知，Collins在电视上看到暴动画面后，立即认出几个人，于是他缩短了自己的假期回去参与罪犯鉴别工作，即改变了假期计划。
6. D。推理判断题。第二段叙述了Collins辨认暴乱者的超高成就，接下来第三段中的Collins is a special police officer ... remember it clearly years later部分介绍了他的特殊之处，即对面孔有超强的记忆能力，正是这种能力使得他在暴乱者鉴别工作中发挥重要作用。
7. C。推理判断题。Collins在鉴别罪犯工作中成绩突出，主要原因是他有超强的面孔记忆力，由此引出了一个概念——super-recogniser，这个概念正是本文的主题。
8. B。细节理解题。由第四段中的CCTV film was not used properly ... they were unlikely to be recognised可知，拍摄的影像没有被恰当利用起来，在制止犯罪行为方面效果不理想；即便罪犯被影像记录下来，他们也知道自己不太可能被认出来。由此可推断，当时从闭路电视影像当中识别罪犯相当困难，才导致罪犯对摄像头无所顾忌。
