In the state of Maryland, a girl was born into slavery (奴隶制) in 1820. Her parents named her Araminta Harriet Ross. She was to become Harriet Tubman. She was one of about one million Africans in slavery in the?United States.
From the age of five, Harriet Tubman's owners made her work very hard. First, she cared for the child of the farm owner. Then, she did hard work on large farms.
Although she could not read or write, Tubman learned from her parents to do what was right. Through her whole life, Tubman put herself in danger to help other people.
One such act changed her life when she was 13 years old. Because she helped another slave, her owner threw a piece of metal at her and it hit her on the head. She was badly hurt. For the rest of her life, Tubman's head wound caused problems for her.
When she was about 25 years old, Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman. But she was still a slave. Her life was so difficult that she decided to escape (逃走). She travelled for 145 kilometres, and finally crossed into the North. Tubman became a free woman.
But Tubman could not leave her family enslaved in the South. So she travelled back to help them escape as well. Then, she made many trips and guided about 300 slaves to freedom. Tubman also fought bravely in the American Civil War and in 1865 slavery was not allowed in the?US.
Harriet Tubman died in 1913. Her memory brings hope to many people — especially to those who fight for justice (正义). She encouraged people to never give up.
“If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.”
21. What do we know about Harriet Tubman?

22. When she was 13 years old, Tubman _____.
A. planned to run away

C. fought bravely against her owner
D. was seriously wounded in her head

One of the most unusual flowering plants in the world, the Snowdonia hawkweed (斯诺登水兰), grows only in Snowdonia National Park in northern Wales. The area is rocky and mountainous, and the air is cool and wet. The Snowdonia hawkweed prefers this area. In fact, it grows nowhere else in the world. It is even picky about where it grows in the park.
The Snowdonia hawkweed is about two inches tall with bright yellow flowers. It may not be the most beautiful plant in the world, but it is a favorite snack of sheep.
In 1953, the Snowdonia hawkweed disappeared. People feared that the plant was gone forever. They believed that the sheep there had eaten the last few plants. So, the people who ran the park took the sheep away from the area, hoping that the hawkweed might return. In 2002, almost 50 years after it was thought to be?extinct, a group of plant scientists found the yellow flowers in the park — exactly where it had last been seen, and where it had been searched for without success. The hawkweed had returned!
To try to prevent the plant from disappearing again, scientists collected seeds (种子) from the plant. Since 2002, the unusual plant has continued to appear in the park.
25. The Snowdonia hawkweed _____.
A. is the most beautiful plant in the world
B. grows everywhere in northern?Wales

A. growing ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?B. disappearing??

A new law in Arizona requires high school students to pass the United States' citizenship (公民身份) test. There're 100 questions on?US?history and government in the test.
The Joe Foss Institute helped create the law. They want to pass a law in each of the 50 states to require high school students to pass the test.
A 2010 national test showed only about 25 percent of students in their final year of high school had a good understanding of American government. Thirty-six percent did not have even a basic understanding.
“That's a shame, and it's not only a shame,” said John Hale, the Associate Director of the Center for Civic (公民的) Education in California. Mr. Hale thinks it is dangerous when citizens do not know or care about how their government works. He says students do not only need to learn facts about government. They should also learn how to take part in their communities. “Requiring high school students to take the test might be a way to improve students' civic behavior,” he says.
But some wonder if a test young people take in high school will make adults more active in their communities.
Sam Stone writes reports for the Joe Foss Institute. He says research shows that civic education does result in more involved (参与的) adults. He noted a 2012 survey that found the more young people studied civics in high school, the more likely they were to get actively involved in their communities.
In another state,?Virginia, many people are against the test. Meg Gruber is the President of the Virginia Education Association. She says students already take classes in civics and?US?history. And, she says, schools should not have to pay more for the test.
Sam Stone agrees. He says his organization is paying for an online testing website. Schools can use the website to give the test for free.
28. The US citizenship test _____.
A. is a required test all over?America
B. was created by the Joe Foss Institute
C. helps students understand American government
D. has been included in American law for five years
29. What may John Hale agree with?
A. How the?US?government works should not be open to the public.
B. It's a shame that the?US?government is unpopular with students.
C. Community activities outweigh facts about the?US?government.
D. The US citizenship test will be good for students and society.
30. The result of the 2012 survey _____.
A. was different from Sam Stone's findings
B. showed civics helped students become more active citizens
C. led more young people to study civics
D. showed students were as interested as adults in their government
31. What did Meg Gruber think of the citizenship test?
A. Unimportant.?? ????????????? B. Unpleasant.??
C. Acceptable. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?D. Fair.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Long, long ago people couldn't write and they had no books. But they had stories. People learned the stories by heart and taught new ones to one another. Sometimes it was hard to remember them all.??36?
The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on something made from papyrus (纸莎草) plants. People in other places learned to use papyrus from the Egyptians.?37??So parchment (羊皮纸), made from goatskin, later took its place.
In ancient?China?books looked a little different. People there used ink to write on bamboo or silk. And then they invented paper. Made of trees, paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment.??38??Papermaking later spread to the West, but there was a big problem with these early books. Every single one had to be copied and written by hand.
?39??They carved (雕刻) a page of words into a piece of wood or stone. They could then print the page by spreading ink on the wood or stone and putting it against paper. But it wasn't until a German printer invented movable, metal letters that books became fast and easy to make. The letters could be used to print copy after copy, and the letters put together again and again to print different pages of words.
?40??Once a luxury (奢侈品) only the rich could buy, they soon became a treasure everyone could enjoy.
A. But papyrus grew mainly in?Egypt.
B. It took years to finish making just one book.
C. Finally books could be printed by the thousands.
D. Things grew a little easier when writing was invented.
E. Its surface was smoother and better for writing on too.
F.? Books in the West didn't change for a long time after that.
G. The Chinese were the first to think of a way to speed things up a little.

阅读理解：
A篇?(社会)
???????本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了美国杰出的黑人废奴主义运动家哈莉特·塔布曼。
21. A。细节理解题。根据第一段中的a girl was born into slavery可知，Harriet Tubman出生于奴隶家庭，也就意味着她一出生就是奴隶。
22. D。细节理解题。根据第四段中的when she was 13 years old和her owner threw a piece of metal at her and it hit her on the head. She was badly hurt可知，Tubman在13岁的时候，头部受到重创。
23. B。推理判断题。根据文中对Tubman事迹的描述可知，作为奴隶的她受到非人的折磨，但她却凭借自己顽强的意志成功摆脱奴隶的身份，并且多次帮助其他奴隶获取自由。由此可知，B项准确概括了Tubman的品质特点。
24. B。标题归纳题。Harriet Tubman出身奴隶，但她渴望自由，最终逃到美国北方，获取新生。不仅如此，她还帮助无数黑奴奔向自由，成为了一名英雄。故B项作标题贴切。
B篇?(自然)
本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一种罕见的植物——斯诺登水兰。
25. D。细节理解题。根据第一段中的One of the most unusual flowering plants in the world，it grows nowhere else in the world以及It is even picky about where it grows in the park不难看出，斯诺登水兰对生长环境很挑剔，只在斯诺登国家公园的某个地方生长，是一种异常罕见的植物。
26. A。推理判断题。根据第三段中的People feared that the plant was gone forever和the people who ran the park took the sheep away from the area, hoping that the hawkweed might return可知，当斯诺登水兰在1953年凭空消失后，人们对此很担心。
27. B。词义猜测题。根据第三段中的the Snowdonia hawkweed disappeared. People feared that the plant was gone forever可知，人们曾一度以为斯诺登水兰灭绝了。故划线词意为“消失了的，灭绝的”。
C篇?(学校生活)
本文是议论文。文章讨论了美国高中生是否需要参加美国公民测试。
28. C。细节理解题。根据第一段中的There're 100 questions on US history and government in the test以及下文的介绍可知，美国的公民测试旨在帮助学生更好地了解美国政府。
29. D。推理判断题。根据第四段中John Hale说的Requiring high school students to take the test might be a way to improve students' civic behavior可知，John Hale认为美国公民测试有助于提高学生的公民行为，那么自然而然也会使整个社会受益。
30. B。推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的a 2012 survey ... the more young people studied civics in high school, the more likely they were to get actively involved in their communities可知，公民课有助于学生成为更积极、更活跃的公民。
31. B。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Meg Gruber ... schools should not have to pay more for the test可知，Meg Gruber认为学校已经有公民课和历史课，再额外增加这项公民测试会增加学校的财政负担。因此，她对这项公民测试感到不满。
D篇?(节假日活动)
本文是应用文。文章是一则购物广告。
32. A。细节理解题。根据第一段中的our unique and unforgettable gift suggestions are a big part of why people love us可知，这个网站受到人们喜爱的主要原因是其独特的礼物点子。
33. C。细节理解题。根据Christmas Gifts for Parents部分的Finding them the perfect Christmas gift will be easy this year, with all our top picks in one place可知，今年网站将一些受欢迎的送给父母的圣诞礼物都放到了一起便于人们选择。
34. A。细节理解题。根据Holiday Gift Baskets小标题的名称以及该部分的介绍可知，在这个礼品区有很多礼品篮；根据The Secret Santa Exchange部分的there's always the gift basket可知，这个礼品区也有礼品篮。由此可知A项正确。
35. B。推理判断题。根据Ideas for Teens部分的Teens can be a challenge和even though they're a special group that are hard to deal with可知，给青少年选择合适的礼物最为困难。而其他三个部分的Finding them the perfect Christmas gift will be easy，you can easily find everything以及are sure to please everyone in the office措辞都表示这三个部分的礼品选择很简单。 ?
?
七选五：
话题：历史
???????本文是说明文。文章介绍了书的印刷史。
36. D。根据该空前的it was hard to remember them all和下一段首句中的The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories可知，在有了文字以后，事情变得容易些了。
37. A。根据该空前的People in other places learned to use papyrus from the Egyptians和该空后的So parchment, made from goatskin, later took its place可知，由于纸莎草这种植物只在埃及生长，因此别的地方的人用羊皮纸代替纸莎草纸。
38. E。该空前的Made of trees, paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment是用树皮做的纸张的优点，因此E项符合语境。E项中的smoother and better和文中的easier and cheaper to make相呼应。
39. G。上一段末句谈到每本书都需要用手抄写，该空后谈到可以对书本进行单页复制。这个比较说明有人想到加快复制书本的过程，故G项符合语境。
40. C。根据上一段末句中的the letters put together again and again to print different pages of words可知，由于德国人发明了可移动的金属字模，因此现在可以大批量地复制书本。

48. B。根据该空前的I still hit a piece of ice可知，作者撞到一块冰上，“摔倒了（fell down）”。
49. A。根据上一句Behind me, somebody started laughing可知，有人在作者身后发出笑声，因此作者“朝身后看去（looked back）”，想知道究竟是谁在笑。
50. D。根据该空后的I saw a girl in the same awkward position I was in可知，作者原本以为有人在笑她，然而令她“诧异（surprise）”的是，有一个女孩也摔倒了。
51. C。I thought I'd be bad at this与I'm worse than I expected之间为转折关系，故填but。
52. B。女孩所说的话让作者也“突然（Suddenly）”笑了起来。
53. B。根据上文的描述可知，作者一直?“害怕（afraid）”摔倒。

?
语法填空：
61. or。考查连词。由前面的Whether可知，此处表示选择，故填or。
62. accessible。考查形容词作宾语补足语的用法。设空处作宾语补足语，表示?“可使用的”，故填形容词accessible。
63. to have。考查不定式作宾语补足语的用法。allow sb. to do sth.?允许某人做某事。
64. permission。考查名词。设空处作介词without的宾语，故填名词permission。
65. with。考查介词。come up with是固定搭配，意为“提出”。
66. are created。考查一般现在时的被动语态。your pages与create之间是被动关系，且时间状语从句中用一般现在时表示将来，故填are created。
67. completed。考查动词-ed形式作定语的用法。complete与pages之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且complete表示的动作已经完成，故填completed。
68. the。考查定冠词。World Wide Web表示宇宙间独一无二的事物，故其前用定冠词the。
69. that。考查关系词。设空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词thing，且thing前有last修饰，故填that。
70. frequently。考查副词。设空处修饰动词change，故填副词frequently。

Wanda Butts dropped the phone and screamed when she heard the news that her son was dead.
Josh had drowned (溺亡) while sailing on a lake with friends. The 16-year-old didn’t know how to swim, and he wasn’t wearing a life jacket.
Josh was not alone in the black community. According to USA Swimming, 70% of African-American children cannot swim. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, African-American children between the ages of 5 and 14 are three times more likely to drown than white children in the same age range (范围).
In 2007, Butts started the Josh Project, a non-profit (非营利组织) that provides low-cost swimming lessons for children in Toledo, Ohio. The swimming lessons take place at a local high school over four Saturdays for a total cost of $10.
To date, the Josh Project has helped more than 1,000 children learn how to swim.
“The public pools near our home were closed, and other places were not affordable,” said Lisa Haynes, whose 14-year-old son, Joshua, is one of 60-plus students in the Josh Project this summer.
“I am less worried if Joshua is near water because he has the basics of how to swim,” Haynes said. “And we’re thankful for that.”
Butts is doing much more, however, than just providing swimming lessons.
“She ups the awareness (意识),”?said Shaun Anderson, a swimming coach who was so inspired by her story that he created a Josh Project swimming program at Norfolk State University.?“Once these communities learn how to swim, they will pass it down, which results in future generations (代) that know how to swim.”
Butts said she has two wishes for the future: One is to change the drowning numbers of African-American children, and the other is to have a swimming center where the children can swim daily instead of just once a week.
24. What led to Josh’s drowning?
A. He was poor in boating skills.
B. He gave his life jacket to a friend.
C. He was never taught swimming skills.
D. He was careless when swimming in the lake.
25. Why did the author list the numbers in Paragraph 3?
A. To show children under 14 are more likely to drown.
B. To argue children should learn swimming at a very young age.
C. To show many African-American children lack swimming skills.
D. To introduce the difference between African-American and white children.
26. What can we learn about the Josh Project?
A. It has its own swimming pools.
B. It provides lessons only in summer.
C. It serves children aged from 5 to 14.
D. Its swimming lessons take place once a week.
27. What did Lisa Haynes think of the swimming lessons the Josh Project provides?
A. Expensive. ?????????????
B. Helpful.
C. Interesting. ????????????
D. Difficult.

There’s nothing like Christmas in New York City. Among hundreds of traditions, one of the most beloved is the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s famous Christmas tree. People from around the world visit the Met daily and are impressed by the 20-foot tree and its special decorations.
Instead of the usual decorations, beautiful angels (天使) and candles hang from the tree. At the base are lifelike handmade figures of townspeople of Bethlehem doing their daily tasks, as well as animals. The room is warmly lit, and there’s beautiful Christmas songs softly playing, creating a feeling of calm that is really hard to find during Christmas.
Jasmin, an Australian student studying in the United States, says that the tree is “wonderful because you don’t often see trees like this.” And she says that her “favorite part of the tree is the beautiful angels.”
The tree has a rich history behind it. The decorations and figures were gifted to the museum by collector Loretta Hines Howard. More than 200 eighteenth-century figures were given to the Museum starting in 1964, and they have been displayed (展览) each holiday season with a Christmas tree. Each year, new angels and figures are added to the collection and display.
If you want to fully experience the beauty of the figures, you’ll need to get close to the tree, most easily done when there aren’t many visitors surrounding (围绕) it, so try to visit early in the day or on a weekday if possible. Each year they change how the figures are placed and with so many beautiful pieces in the collection, it’s easy to find something new to examine.
28. What is special about the Christmas tree in the Metropolitan Museum of Art?
A. It has a long history.
B. It welcomes visitors all year round.
C. It is displayed with special figures.
D. It is the highest Christmas tree in New York.
29. How do visitors probably feel when entering the display room?
A. Warm. ???????????????????
B. Lucky. ?????
C. Peaceful. ????????
D. Satisfied.
30. What can we infer about the figures?
A. They grow each year in number.
B. They were made by Loretta Hines Howard.
C. They show people’s life in the 20th century.
D. They are especially popular among young people.
31. Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A. Christmas in New York
B. Meet the magical Christmas tree
C. The Metropolitan Museum of Art
D. The perfect place to spend your Christmas

D
Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night’s sleep every night. They aren’t able to do their best unless they sleep well. Most experts agree that the proper number of hours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that — and sometimes this affects your schoolwork.
I read an article in a teachers’ magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results suggested that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at proper times but a growing number wake up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack (点心) but because of FOMO?—?the fear of missing out!
According to the article, schoolchildren suffer (遭受痛苦) because of an increasing trend (趋势) to wake up during the night to check social media. Afraid of missing a message or chance to take part in a discussion, teens wake up at all times of the night to go online and join up with social groups. All this happens when they should be sound asleep.
The report gives some worrying numbers. 23% of 12- to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason. As a result, one in three students are constantly tired and unable to do well at school.
So, I’d like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Be brave and turn off your phones and computers at night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning. I give you my word that you won’t have missed anything important.
32. What is the new trend among teenagers?
A. They get up too early in the morning.
B. They have difficulty in falling asleep at night.
C. They wake up at night to get something to eat.
D. They wake up in the middle of the night to go online.
33. How did the author introduce the new trend?
A. By using examples.
B. By asking questions.
C. By making a comparison.
D. By showing research findings.
34. What is FOMO?
A. A fear of going online.
B. A fear of losing touch on social media.
C. A need to go out all the time.
D. A need to use the latest technology.
35. What can we learn about the author’s opinion on the new trend?
A. It’s worrying.
B. It’s encouraging.
C. It’s hard to understand.
D. It’s difficult to change.

Give one task at a time.
If you can’t stand how clothes are always being left on the floor, don’t let your teens get away with it.??40??Tell them that if they keep throwing their clothes on the floor, they won’t be allowed to see their friends at the weekend, and that’s it.

I recently watched a woman film herself as she walked around an ancient building in San Sebastian, Spain. The place was rich in history and the view (风景) was great. But she wasn’t looking at the blue sea or the old houses?—she was looking at her camera!

What are we missing by seeing life through social media? I’m not the first person to ask that question but I’ll also admit I’m part of the “problem”. I take photos of beautiful places and enjoy them just for their social media value.
I remember a usually cheerful friend of mine going through his Facebook feed one day during a quiet afternoon at work. “I’m so depressed. Everyone’s going to the most wonderful places and having the most wonderful time,” he said. Except they’re probably not. One photo shows one moment in a day. People simply don’t post a photo of the time when they got into a fight with their taxi driver.
Take the day that I got more?“likes”?than usual for a picture I’d posted on Instagram. I’d gone to a temple (寺庙) in Japan and spent the day climbing hundreds of steps to see what turned out to be a rather ordinary temple. I had seen a lot of temples by then and this one was a bit disappointing. That evening, I posted a photo of an ice cream with colourful little sugary decorations on it and was surprised by how many of my?“followers”?liked it. But that ice cream didn’t sum up (概括) my day and I felt like a bit of a liar.
Of course, that experience hasn’t stopped me using social media. I can see the advantages too — “connecting” with friends overseas, taking photos to remember the beauty of a moment, sharing our experiences of new places. We want to remember the good moments of travelling and social media helps us do that. But let’s not forget that’s only one part of travelling. Is that photo you just posted as important as being there in that moment and in that place?
1. What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the text?

It continues to be an important part of our company policy (公司政策) to pay attention to the well-being of people in the areas which we serve. In the past year, we have centered especially on education and training, and have put over ￡4,000,000 in this and other areas from the care of the old to the arts.
Let us look at these first. We have, as always, supported health research and care projects helping not only the old but children and the disabled (残疾的) too. We were especially pleased this year to provide alarms (警报器) for disabled people who live alone and to run programmes which help children understand better the problems facing disabled people.
The Groundwork Foundation encourages young people in poor areas to protect their environment, while the Schools Prom concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London includes 20,000 children nationwide. Both of these were given help in the form of money.
As mentioned above, in the last year we have been active in supporting several education projects. Two of our managers are now out of the company on 1-year projects, training young people for work. In addition, we have started a programme of 3-month plans which managers in our company are able to benefit (受益) from without having to take a long break from their jobs.
It is not only the company that supports good work for other people. Our members are encouraged to join the company’s Give as You Earn system, to give money to others, especially those working for the benefit of the community. In such cases the company often gives its support in the form of money.
We look forward to putting even more money into these and other projects in the coming year.
5. This year’s special help for the disabled has centered on _____.
A. their education
B. their children
C. their health
D. their safety
6. How did the author’s company help the young in poor areas?
A. By giving money.
B. By providing jobs.
C. By running schools for them.
D. By protecting their environment.
7. What advantage do managers have in taking part in the 3-month programme?
A. They needn’t pay for it.
B. They can have a long break.
C. They will not be away for long.
D. They can make a lot of money.
8. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A travel guide.
B. A research plan.
C. A business report.
D. A science magazine.

One possible version：
Recently our class had a discussion about the advantages and the disadvantages of the use of WeChat Moments.
We all think that WeChat Moments is a place where we can upload pictures, share videos and articles, etc. This helps expand our horizons and makes us keep track of each other. However, there are some disadvantages to WeChat Moments. For example, it may put us at risk of giving away our personal information. Also, some people spend too much time looking through their WeChat Moments and as a result they spend less and less time with their family.
In my opinion, WeChat Moments really plays an important role in our communication. But we should use it wisely.

25. C。推理判断题。第三段主旨句为第一句，即Josh的情况在美国非裔群体中并不罕见。接下来作者引用两个组织提供的数据来支持这个说法，70%的非裔美国儿童不会游泳，且在5到14岁年龄段的儿童之中，非裔美国儿童溺亡的人数要比白人儿童高出几倍。因此，这些数据是为了说明非裔美国儿童当中有许多人都不会游泳。
26. D。细节理解题。由第四段中的The swimming lessons ... four Saturdays以及最后一段中的where the children ... just once a week可知，该组织每周六开设游泳课程，一周一次。
27. B。推理判断题。由倒数第四段中Haynes所说的话可知，她的儿子通过游泳课程学会了基本的游泳技能，她对此很感激。因此可推断，Haynes认为该公益组织开设的游泳课程很有用。
