第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The sun rises above the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋). Across the frozen sea, a white bear moves slowly.
The bear stops and sways (摇晃) his head from side to side. There is nothing to see but endless ice and red sky. Then his powerful nose senses what his eyes cannot: a beluga whale is nearby.
The bear follows the smell and spots a large hole in the ice where a small white whale is swimming. He silently walks toward the hole, then stops, standing still. The whale does not see the bear, whose white fur makes him appear invisible (看不见的) against the ice.
Finally, the whale swims close to where the bear is waiting. With terrifying speed, the bear comes to life and moves toward the whale. In a moment it is over, and the bear eats his first meal in nearly a week.
Polar bears rule the frozen sea, but their ancestors weren't always built for ice and snow. The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears. They came to the icy north over a hundred thousand years ago.
No one knows for sure why these bears traveled to such a cold place. Scientists think they might have wandered north looking for food. Maybe they became trapped by glaciers and couldn't leave. Whatever the reason, the bears never should have survived.
But they did. They got used to their new environment. Their bodies changed. Their behavior changed, too. Eventually, the bears developed into an entirely new species: the polar bear. You can see some of the characteristics that polar bears developed to survive.
Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bear's survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore (在岸上). They are poor hunters on land, which means they often go a long time between meals. The polar bear, king of the Arctic, is now classified as a threatened species.
Although the future of the polar bear is unknown, the tale of two bears continues. As temperatures rise, grizzly bears have been spotted moving north into polar bear territory (领地). These long?lost cousins, once forced apart by nature, are coming back together again.
21．What can be inferred about the white bear mentioned in the first four paragraphs?
A．It is noisy. B．It is smelly.
C．It is starving. D．It has good eyesight.
22．What do we know about polar bears' ancestors?
A．They were a darker?colored species.
B．They were born to live in ice and snow.
C．They had no trouble getting used to the icy north.
D．They came to the Arctic Ocean about 1,000 years ago.
23．Why are polar bears struggling to survive?
A．They are losing their hunting ground.
B．They are threatened by other animals.
C．They are spending little time on land.
D．They have difficulty reaching the shore.
24．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．The climate change
B．The polar bear's favorite meal
C．The dark past of the polar bear
D．The mysteries of the Arctic Ocean
B
In an effort to stop poaching (偷猎) and protect endangered species, people are using technology previously created to discover stars.Claire Burke, who led the project, says the application of the star?hunting tech has so far paid off big for conservation.“Since animals and humans in thermal imagery (热成像) ‘glow’ in the same way as stars in space, we have been able to combine the technical expertise of astronomers with the conservation knowledge of ecologists to develop a system to find the animals or poachers automatically，” she said in a statement.
In addition to species identification, the software can also provide an overview of health.Burke said that diseased or injured animals give off a different thermal imagery than the healthy ones.“The real advantage this gives you is that if you know how many animals you have and where they are and what kind of health they are in, then you can work out a good conservation strategy for looking after them，” she said.
The following is a post written by Burke on Twitter: More animals for the thermal imagery library.Thanks to Chester Zoo Science @ScienceatCZ for letting us observe their fantastic creatures.Images are giraffes, Indian elephants, and fruit bats.— Claire Burke (@CBurkeSci) October 27.
To train the software on a wide variety of heat signatures from different species, the team of researchers spent time collecting thermal imagery of animals.Their first field trial to detect Riverine rabbits, one of the most endangered mammals in the world (with only 500 living adults left in the wild), was a complete success.“The rabbits are very small, so we flew the drone (无人机) quite low to the ground at a height of 20 meters (65 feet)．Although this limited the area we could cover with the drone, we managed to see the rabbit five times，” said Burke.“Given that there have only been about 1,000 times people have seen Riverine rabbits, it was a real success.”
25．What can people decide by observing the thermal imagery of the animals?
A．What the animals are doing.
B．When the animals need help.
C．Whether the animals are healthy.
D．Why the animals are in danger.
26．What did the researchers find out after detecting the Riverine rabbits?
A．The number of them is decreasing.
B．It is difficult for people to identify them.
C．There are more of them than people thought.
D．It is easier to find them using the high?tech tool.
27．What is the text mainly about?
A．Technology has helped a lot in helping the endangered animals.
B．Researchers use stargazing tools to protect endangered species.
C．What we should do to protect the endangered animals.
D．Scientists are working hard to protect the environment.
C
When I took Amy home from the animal shelter, she was scared. I believed she had been abused (虐待) because she was afraid of anything my husband, Bill, or I held in our hands. With a lot of care and attention, she became a great dog that surprised us every day.
About three years ago, Amy and I joined a volunteer project called Canines with Class. At our first school visit, Officer Lisa called Amy and asked her to show how to shake hands and give a high five. The students clapped (拍手) in joy and Amy received a reward. Then the students got to touch the dog. One by one they came up to meet Amy. Some of them started talking to me about their own pets. I didn't feel worried any more. I thought the children liked staying with us.
On our next school visit, I put a big chain (链条) on Amy's neck and walked away from her. You could see that Amy was not happy. When I took the chain off her neck, Amy shook her tail happily and wouldn't stop licking (舔) my face. That was when we talked about “breaking the chain”．
On our third school trip, Amy started acting poorly when it was time to show off a few tricks. The students watched to see how I would correct her mistakes. It was a good chance to explain that if your dog doesn't do exactly what you ask, you don't have to shout at her or hit her to make it right. I think the children have learned a lot about respect and patience.
Amy loves the program and has come so far since I found her a few years ago. Amy has broken the chain, and the love she gives to those children will help them become good pet owners.
28．During the first school visit, the author was most probably ________.
A．nervous B．encouraged
C．calm D．upset
29．What was the purpose of the second school visit?
A．To show how dogs get happy.
B．To encourage children to be free.
C．To encourage children to save dogs.
D．To show why we should stop using dog chains.
30．What did the children learn from the third school trip?
A．Dogs are stupid at times.
B．Everyone makes mistakes.
C．Dog owners should be patient.
D．People should respect each other.

第二节：概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Family problems can be very painful, especially around family?centered times, like holidays. However, there are ways to solve family problems and restore peace to the dynamic (动态)．Life is too short to waste. How a person approaches the family members and what he says can make a big difference.
If the family members are arguing, waiting until everyone calm down can help deal with the argument. A person shouldn't discuss the family problem when he is still feeling upset or emotional. If he waits even a single night, the intensity (强度) of the emotion is likely to calm down somewhat, even if he is still unhappy. He should wait rather than react emotionally. If he takes a step back and gives himself some time to think before dealing with the issue, he will deal with it wisely.
Someone wants to send off a text or an email and wishes he could take things back. Trying to address an argument or family problem by instant text messages or emails is the worst possible choice. That's because the tone can too easily be misunderstood by electronic communication. The man who sends off a text message or email might not think he sounds angry to the person receiving it. Instead of sending off a text, pick up the telephone or, better yet, arrange in?person communication. Electronic communication means people lose the true meaning of body language, which can convey feelings and reduce the sting of a painful conversation.
As the saying goes, “Blood is thicker than water.” People can choose their friends, but not their family. You might be able to cut people out, but it could cause you more pain down the road. Understanding that family members have faults, but they can still love their families, is the first step toward addressing problems. Accept your own faults, too.

Bill Gates, an American inventor, computer programmer and businessman, is reportedly worth nearly $80 billion, making him one of the wealthiest people in the country today. He founded and was head of Microsoft for years.
Gates was born into a rich family in the state of Washington. His father was a lawyer; his mother was a banker. He is famous for being taken as the father of the modern computer. He studied at Harvard University but did not graduate because of his desire to develop new software.
As a 13?year?old student, Gates was introduced to computer programming. In 1975, Gates spoke to a company called Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS). He convinced the owner of the company that he had written a program that would work well and make big money. The owner bought into Gates' inventions, and the two men reached an agreement to develop software for the company. Then the Microsoft Company was born.
Gates went on to develop the Windows operating system with then partner IBM. The two companies had differences though, and their partnership ended quickly. Gates worked as CEO until 2000. He remained active with the company for several years before leaving the company in 2008. In 2014, Bill Gates became the technical advisor of the firm.

Dear WWF，
There are wetlands in my hometown called Wucheng Town, on the lakeside of the Poyang Lake. When winter comes, many birds from the north fly to live here, including some rare and endangered ones, which adds a beautiful view to my hometown. However, the harm to the birds is various. Eggs are often picked up. Worse still, people even catch birds for meat.
Pollution from chemical factories is also a big problem. Wetland area is decreasing each year!
I strongly hope that WWF can cooperate with our local government to establish a reserve for migrating birds, and at the same time, reduce environmental pollution and protect wetlands!
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)
第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The sun rises above the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋). Across the frozen sea, a white bear moves slowly.
The bear stops and sways (摇晃) his head from side to side. There is nothing to see but endless ice and red sky. Then his powerful nose senses what his eyes cannot: a beluga whale is nearby.
The bear follows the smell and spots a large hole in the ice where a small white whale is swimming. He silently walks toward the hole, then stops, standing still. The whale does not see the bear, whose white fur makes him appear invisible (看不见的) against the ice.
Finally, the whale swims close to where the bear is waiting. With terrifying speed, the bear comes to life and moves toward the whale. In a moment it is over, and the bear eats his first meal in nearly a week.
Polar bears rule the frozen sea, but their ancestors weren't always built for ice and snow. The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears. They came to the icy north over a hundred thousand years ago.
No one knows for sure why these bears traveled to such a cold place. Scientists think they might have wandered north looking for food. Maybe they became trapped by glaciers and couldn't leave. Whatever the reason, the bears never should have survived.
But they did. They got used to their new environment. Their bodies changed. Their behavior changed, too. Eventually, the bears developed into an entirely new species: the polar bear. You can see some of the characteristics that polar bears developed to survive.
Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bear's survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore (在岸上). They are poor hunters on land, which means they often go a long time between meals. The polar bear, king of the Arctic, is now classified as a threatened species.
Although the future of the polar bear is unknown, the tale of two bears continues. As temperatures rise, grizzly bears have been spotted moving north into polar bear territory (领地). These long?lost cousins, once forced apart by nature, are coming back together again.
21．What can be inferred about the white bear mentioned in the first four paragraphs?
A．It is noisy. B．It is smelly.
C．It is starving. D．It has good eyesight.
22．What do we know about polar bears' ancestors?
A．They were a darker?colored species.
B．They were born to live in ice and snow.
C．They had no trouble getting used to the icy north.
D．They came to the Arctic Ocean about 1,000 years ago.
23．Why are polar bears struggling to survive?
A．They are losing their hunting ground.
B．They are threatened by other animals.
C．They are spending little time on land.
D．They have difficulty reaching the shore.
24．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．The climate change
B．The polar bear's favorite meal
C．The dark past of the polar bear
D．The mysteries of the Arctic Ocean
B
In an effort to stop poaching (偷猎) and protect endangered species, people are using technology previously created to discover stars.Claire Burke, who led the project, says the application of the star?hunting tech has so far paid off big for conservation.“Since animals and humans in thermal imagery (热成像) ‘glow’ in the same way as stars in space, we have been able to combine the technical expertise of astronomers with the conservation knowledge of ecologists to develop a system to find the animals or poachers automatically，” she said in a statement.
In addition to species identification, the software can also provide an overview of health.Burke said that diseased or injured animals give off a different thermal imagery than the healthy ones.“The real advantage this gives you is that if you know how many animals you have and where they are and what kind of health they are in, then you can work out a good conservation strategy for looking after them，” she said.
The following is a post written by Burke on Twitter: More animals for the thermal imagery library.Thanks to Chester Zoo Science @ScienceatCZ for letting us observe their fantastic creatures.Images are giraffes, Indian elephants, and fruit bats.— Claire Burke (@CBurkeSci) October 27.
To train the software on a wide variety of heat signatures from different species, the team of researchers spent time collecting thermal imagery of animals.Their first field trial to detect Riverine rabbits, one of the most endangered mammals in the world (with only 500 living adults left in the wild), was a complete success.“The rabbits are very small, so we flew the drone (无人机) quite low to the ground at a height of 20 meters (65 feet)．Although this limited the area we could cover with the drone, we managed to see the rabbit five times，” said Burke.“Given that there have only been about 1,000 times people have seen Riverine rabbits, it was a real success.”
25．What can people decide by observing the thermal imagery of the animals?
A．What the animals are doing.
B．When the animals need help.
C．Whether the animals are healthy.
D．Why the animals are in danger.
26．What did the researchers find out after detecting the Riverine rabbits?
A．The number of them is decreasing.
B．It is difficult for people to identify them.
C．There are more of them than people thought.
D．It is easier to find them using the high?tech tool.
27．What is the text mainly about?
A．Technology has helped a lot in helping the endangered animals.
B．Researchers use stargazing tools to protect endangered species.
C．What we should do to protect the endangered animals.
D．Scientists are working hard to protect the environment.

When I took Amy home from the animal shelter, she was scared. I believed she had been abused (虐待) because she was afraid of anything my husband, Bill, or I held in our hands. With a lot of care and attention, she became a great dog that surprised us every day.
About three years ago, Amy and I joined a volunteer project called Canines with Class. At our first school visit, Officer Lisa called Amy and asked her to show how to shake hands and give a high five. The students clapped (拍手) in joy and Amy received a reward. Then the students got to touch the dog. One by one they came up to meet Amy. Some of them started talking to me about their own pets. I didn't feel worried any more. I thought the children liked staying with us.
On our next school visit, I put a big chain (链条) on Amy's neck and walked away from her. You could see that Amy was not happy. When I took the chain off her neck, Amy shook her tail happily and wouldn't stop licking (舔) my face. That was when we talked about “breaking the chain”．
On our third school trip, Amy started acting poorly when it was time to show off a few tricks. The students watched to see how I would correct her mistakes. It was a good chance to explain that if your dog doesn't do exactly what you ask, you don't have to shout at her or hit her to make it right. I think the children have learned a lot about respect and patience.
Amy loves the program and has come so far since I found her a few years ago. Amy has broken the chain, and the love she gives to those children will help them become good pet owners.
28．During the first school visit, the author was most probably ________.
A．nervous B．encouraged
C．calm D．upset
29．What was the purpose of the second school visit?
A．To show how dogs get happy.
B．To encourage children to be free.
C．To encourage children to save dogs.
D．To show why we should stop using dog chains.
30．What did the children learn from the third school trip?
A．Dogs are stupid at times.
B．Everyone makes mistakes.
C．Dog owners should be patient.
D．People should respect each other.

第二节：概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Family problems can be very painful, especially around family?centered times, like holidays. However, there are ways to solve family problems and restore peace to the dynamic (动态)．Life is too short to waste. How a person approaches the family members and what he says can make a big difference.
If the family members are arguing, waiting until everyone calm down can help deal with the argument. A person shouldn't discuss the family problem when he is still feeling upset or emotional. If he waits even a single night, the intensity (强度) of the emotion is likely to calm down somewhat, even if he is still unhappy. He should wait rather than react emotionally. If he takes a step back and gives himself some time to think before dealing with the issue, he will deal with it wisely.
Someone wants to send off a text or an email and wishes he could take things back. Trying to address an argument or family problem by instant text messages or emails is the worst possible choice. That's because the tone can too easily be misunderstood by electronic communication. The man who sends off a text message or email might not think he sounds angry to the person receiving it. Instead of sending off a text, pick up the telephone or, better yet, arrange in?person communication. Electronic communication means people lose the true meaning of body language, which can convey feelings and reduce the sting of a painful conversation.
As the saying goes, “Blood is thicker than water.” People can choose their friends, but not their family. You might be able to cut people out, but it could cause you more pain down the road. Understanding that family members have faults, but they can still love their families, is the first step toward addressing problems. Accept your own faults, too.

Bill Gates, an American inventor, computer programmer and businessman, is reportedly worth nearly $80 billion, making him one of the wealthiest people in the country today. He founded and was head of Microsoft for years.
Gates was born into a rich family in the state of Washington. His father was a lawyer; his mother was a banker. He is famous for being taken as the father of the modern computer. He studied at Harvard University but did not graduate because of his desire to develop new software.
As a 13?year?old student, Gates was introduced to computer programming. In 1975, Gates spoke to a company called Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS). He convinced the owner of the company that he had written a program that would work well and make big money. The owner bought into Gates' inventions, and the two men reached an agreement to develop software for the company. Then the Microsoft Company was born.
Gates went on to develop the Windows operating system with then partner IBM. The two companies had differences though, and their partnership ended quickly. Gates worked as CEO until 2000. He remained active with the company for several years before leaving the company in 2008. In 2014, Bill Gates became the technical advisor of the firm.

Dear WWF，
There are wetlands in my hometown called Wucheng Town, on the lakeside of the Poyang Lake. When winter comes, many birds from the north fly to live here, including some rare and endangered ones, which adds a beautiful view to my hometown. However, the harm to the birds is various. Eggs are often picked up. Worse still, people even catch birds for meat.
Pollution from chemical factories is also a big problem. Wetland area is decreasing each year!
I strongly hope that WWF can cooperate with our local government to establish a reserve for migrating birds, and at the same time, reduce environmental pollution and protect wetlands!
Yours sincerely，
