第I卷（选择题）

一、完形填空（每小题1分，共20分）

When I graduated from UCLA, I moved to northern California and lived in a little town

called Elk on the Mendocino Coast. I didn't have much money, but I had 1 and a sense of

wonder.

So I started shooting time-lapse photography(延时摄影). It would take me a month to shoot a

4-minute roll of 2 , because that's all I could 3 . I've been shooting time-lapse

flowers 4 , 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for over 30 years. And to see them move is a

dance I’ll 5 get tired of. Their beauty immerses us with color, taste, touch.

Beauty is nature's tool for 6 , because we protect what we fall in love with. It 7

our hearts, and makes us realize we are a part of nature and we are not 8 from it. When

we see ourselves in 9 , it also connects us to every one of us, because it's clear that it's all

connected in 10 .

When people 11 my images, a lot of time they’ll say “Oh my God.” Have you ever

wondered what that means? The “oh” means it 12 your attention and makes you mindful.

The “my” means it connects something deep inside your soul. It creates a gateway for your inner

13 to rise up and be heard. And “God”? God is that personal journey we all want to be

14 , to be inspired, to feel like we are 15 to a universe that celebrates life.

Did you know that 80 percent of information we receive 16 our eyes? And if you

compare light energy to musical scales(音阶), it would only be one musical scale that the 17

eye could see — the one right in the middle. And aren't we grateful for our brains 18 can,

you know, take this electrical impulse that comes from light energy to create images in order for us

to explore the world? And aren't we grateful that we have hearts that can feel all these in order for

us to allow ourselves to feel the 19 and the beauty of nature?

Nature's beauty is a gift that cultivates 20 and gratitude.

第II卷（非选择题）

二、用单词的适当形式完成短文（每小题1分，共10分）

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Language is ever changing, and English is no 21． (except). Grammar changes slowly,

22． new words expand the language almost every day! , the world’s leading

online dictionary, proved as much when it 23． (announce) that it had added some new words in

August.

“Plogging” is buzzword 24． (combine) the Swedish phrase “plocka upp” (pick up) and the

English word “jogging”. 25． (describe) by the online dictionary as “a Swedish exercise trend that

combines jogging with picking up litter”, the running trend unites environmentalism with

26． (fit).

has added 27． range of terms based on social media and pop culture

2

searches.

Selfies (自拍) have become an unavoidable part of our lives. We have many words to

describe selfies and the online dictionary has collected some of them. A new 28． is “hamster (仓鼠) angle”, 29． is the camera angle that makes you look slightly fat like a hamster.

Memes are another source of new words “Hot girl summer” was also added to the popular

online dictionary. It’s about having fun and feeling 30． (confidence) in who you are.

三、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文（每小题1.5分，共15分）

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be

used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

A．classify B．contains C．detailed D．maintains E. multiply F. necessarily

G. passive H. relatively I. subject J. total K. unusual

Can a precise word total ever be known? No, says Professor David Crystal, known chiefly for

his research in English language studies and author of around 100 books on the 31．. “It’s like

asking how many stars there are in the sky. It’s impossible to answer,” he said.

An easier question to answer, he 32．, is the size of the average person’s vocabulary. He

suggests taking a sample of about 20 or 30 pages from a medium-sized dictionary, which

33． about 100,000 entries or 1,000 or 1,500 pages.

Tick off the ones you know and count them. Then 34． that by the number of pages and you

will discover how many words you know. Most people vastly underestimate their 35．.

“Most people know half the words-about 50,000-easily. A reasonably educated person about

75,000 and a really cool, smart person well, maybe all of them but that is rather 36．. An ordinary

person, one who has not been to university say, would know about 35,000 quite easily.”

The formula can be used to calculate the number of words a person uses, but a person’s active

language will always be less than their 37．, the difference being about a third.

Prof Crystal says exposure to reading will obviously expand a person’s vocabulary but the

level of a person’s education does not 38． decide things. “A person with a poor education perhaps

may not be able to read or read much, but they will know words and may have a very

39． vocabulary about pop songs or motorbikes. I’ve met children that you could 40． as having a

poor education and they knew hundreds of words about skateboards that you won’t find in a

3

dictionary.”

五、阅读选择（42-44每小题3分，其它每小题2分，共23分）

A

As ever, the Summer Movie Season is full of series and special effects. But if you’re prepared

to look for them, you’ll find some smaller, odder films flying beneath the radar.

Book Club (May 18): A great quartet（四人组）of actresses (Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda,

Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen) headline this comedy about a book club that gets back into a

romantic mood after reading Fifty Shades Of Grey. It sounds ridiculous, but if that is a hook for a

romantic comedy, it will be trying something new.

Tag (June 15): This comedy looks like it might share some DNA with The Hangover, as a

group of friends reunite over the years to play a never-ending game of tag—Jeremy Renner, Jon

Hamm, Hannibal Buress, Jake Johnson, Ed Helms, Leslie Bibb, Rashida Jones and Isla Fisher star.

In other words: a lot of people we already know are funny, plus Jeremy Renner!

Uncle Drew (June 29): The attraction is that a young guy (Lil Rel Howery) has to renew a

team of old men—played by NBA legends in old-age makeup—to play alongside his Uncle Drew

(Kyrie Irving) in a big neighborhood game. This is such a strange idea for a comedy that I cannot

wait to see it. Stars include Shaquille O’ Neal, Nate Robinson, Chris Webber, Lisa Leslie, Reggie

Miller, J.B．Smoove and an up-and-coming comedy actress, Tifany Haddish.

Skyscraper (July 13): It wouldn’t be an action-movie season without Dwayne “The Rock”

Johnson running off a crane（起重机）and leaping in a way that in reality would result in certain

death but that in a movie results in a safe landing! I’m not here to tell you it’s more than it appears.

I’m here to tell you it’s probably exactly as it appears. It comes out on July 13, so perhaps on the

hottest day of the summer, forget your troubles and see The Rock save his family.

42．Which film can you enjoy this May?

A．Book Club. B．Tag. C．Uncle Drew. D．Skyscraper.

43．What is strange about Uncle Drew?

4

A．A lot of people in old-age makeup are very funny.

B．A young man has to employ some NBA legends to play in a game.

C．Some current NBA superstars will star in the film.

D．The author cannot wait to see the film.

44．Which film is not a comedy?

A．Book Club. B．Tag.

In 1972, Richard Sears, a young American from the state of Tennessee, began learning

Chinese because of his fascination with traditional Chinese culture.

“Chinese characters are the only ancient script now still in use in the world and it’s a miracle

of human history,” said Sears in fluent Chinese.

As a primitive form of Chinese characters and the oldest fully developed characters in China,

Jiaguwen, or oracle bone inscriptions, were first discovered in 1899 and aimed for their

inscriptions on tortoise shells and animal bones.

Drawn to the ancient language, Sears often went back and forth between China and the US.

In 1994, he made a decision to make the ancient Chinese characters available online. Taking

advantage of his professional skill，Sears started programming and building a database of oracle

bone inscriptions on his own. It took him seven years just to scan the characters in Chinese ancient

books. In 2002, the Jiaguwen enthusiast’s website was launched, though with only a few page

views per day in the beginning. However, it surged to 600,000 per day in 2011 after a blogger

recommended the site on Chinese social media platform Weibo. “I became a web celebrity

overnight and was given a nickname ‘Uncle Hanzi’,” Sears said with a smile. Hanzi means

Chinese characters.

During the past 26 years, he has accumulated a great deal of information on his website-more

than 96,000 ancient Chinese character forms from archeological sources. Up till now, the web site

has been continuously updated, giving lovers of the ancient language from all over the world free

access to browse at their leisure. In order to reveal the mystery behind the ancient characters, he

spent a great deal of money and time buying and going through dozens of books, living on a

shoestring.

Since last year, Sears has been working with a Chinese technology company on a smartphone

application for children to learn about how the characters evolved. The app is expected to be

launched next year.

D．They were named for their inscriptions on hard rocks.

49．What can we infer about Richard Sears?

A．He has a good command of the computer.

A．

C．He developed a smartphone app for adults.

50．What happened to Sears’s website in 2011?

A．It was attacked by hackers.

C．It boomed suddenly.

B．It declined gradually.

D．It suffered a big loss.

D．He has made a fortune from the website.

C．He is now leading a quiet life.

六、六选四（每小题2分，共8分）

We need to do more to help the teachers who are exhausted and stressed

Teaching should not be one of the most stressful jobs in the US. But it is. “The only other

profession that comes close to us for stress is nursing and we still have the numbers… by a lot.

52．”

“Nobody realizes how horrific working conditions are for teachers throughout the country,”

Brice-Hyde says, an experienced teacher in New York who is part of the national group Badass

Teachers Association (BAT).

53． So they did a national study of teacher working conditions around issues like stress,

work-life balance, respect, and more. The results are both surprising and not. If you’ve been

seeing the stories about teacher walkouts and pay inequality, you probably aren’t all that shocked

to see these things like: 61 percent of educators find work “always” or “often” stressful; 27

percent of educators said they’ve been threatened or bullied; 86 percent of educators feel

disrespected by US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.

Teachers are stressed out, and turnover is high. No wonder we’re seeing more stories about

8

B．He is now leading a lonely life.

D．He is now leading a plain life.

the importance of self-care, classroom burnout, and mental health days for teachers. Yet, self-care

doesn’t seem to come easily for people, and this is definitely true for teachers. 54．

We think it’s time to change that, though. So in honor of World Mental Health Day, we are

working to change the dialogue about teacher mental health. Below are some of the top challenges

people give for not seeking therapy, or even basic self-care, along with possible solutions and

workarounds for each one.

We hope you share this article widely, giving support and love to your fellow educators.

55． And it’s pretty much guaranteed to help you do what you set out to in the first place be a

good teacher.

A．BAT wanted to take action.

B．Those who gave more tended to gain less.

C．The data are ridiculous, and no one is really paying attention.

D．By nature, educators are taught to give care and support others not themselves.

E. Although respected for its own sake, teaching is under suspicion in today’s world.

F. After all, self-care, good mental health, positive well-being is one of the single best things you

can do for yourself.

Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, We are surrounded by the word"

diet" everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential

of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are

paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.

Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, influenced by diet

products, people tend to watch their weight rather than their diet. Diet products make us Jump

over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤）instead. All we have to do is to recognize

the word" diet" in food labels in the supermarket. On another level, diet products make people

believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle. For

example, every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness

that we don't have to work to get results.

The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but

also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because

consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic

nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created

chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the

chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously

think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals.

Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the

potential harm that comes from using them.
