第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A.B.C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Peng Liyuan, wife of President Xi Jinping, has drawn extensive attention from people both at home and abroad for her charisma and grace. Accompanying her husband on his first overseas trip after becoming president, Peng Liyuan exhibited graceful demeanor, a pleasant personality and well-chosen dress, prompting people to coin the term “Liyuan style”.
Peng Liyuan, as one of China’s best-known singers, was popular among Chinese people long before her husband became the president. Loved by her fans, she has been in touch with the people for years.
“Liyuan style” is not only representative of a fashion idol, but also overpass cultural and diplomatic barriers. The beautiful handbags Peng has carried, and the plain but elegant and delicate dresses she has worn have become popular. Her choice of clothing, made-in-China instead of luxurious foreign brands, shows her belief in domestic dress designs.
But “Liyuan style” is not only about clothing and a woman’s paraphernalia. It is also about diplomacy and promoting China’s soft power. In Moscow, Peng visited a boarding school for orphans and children estranged(疏远)from their parents, encouraging them to strive for a better life, which brought out the maternal side of her character. In Tanzania, she donated sewing machines and school bags to women and children. And as a World Health Organization ambassador in the fight against AIDS, Peng is devoted to many public causes, including those relating to charity and healthcare.
Some observers have already started saying that Peng’s activities have become part of public diplomacy in China.
Also, “Liyuan style” has boosted the confidence of the Chinese people. Modern but not flashy, elegant but not arrogant, Peng has all the virtues of a Chinese woman and carries them to the international stage.
Since the 18th Party Congress and the annual sessions of the NPC and CPPCC, the country’s new leadership has vowed to adopt a down-to-earth work style to connect with the people. Peng’s plain but elegant style shows that thriftiness and an earthy style need not be drab and boring.
So it can be said that Peng’s first appearance on the international stage has kicked off well.
21. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “paraphernalia”?
A. Her self-charm B. Things she carried with
C. Her diplomatic measures D. Her support to her husband
22. This passage is mainly about__________.
A. President Xi’s wife Peng
B. Peng Liyuan’s charming character
C. the achievements of Peng on charity and healthcare.
D. a cultural phenomenon named as “Liyuan style”
23. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. “Liyuan style” is only a fashion idol.
B. Peng Liyuan, as the wife of President Xi, admires lots of luxurious brands.
C. Peng Liyuan is willing to fight against AIDS and become an ambassador of WHO.
D. Peng firstly appears in the pubic as the “First Lady” in Moscow.
B
When we’re young and we dream of love and fulfillment(满足感), we think perhaps of moon-covered Parisian nights or walks along the beach at sunset. No one tells us that the greatest moments of a lifetime are short, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.
Not long ago, as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie, I became aware of her focused look. She was staring at me with a faraway, blank expression. Apparently, completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as important as we first thought.
I asked what she was thinking about.
"Mommy," she whispered, "I just can't stop looking at your pretty face."I almost dissolved(溶解)on the spot. Little did she know how many trying moments the glow of her sincerely loving statement would carry me through over the following years.
Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a tuxedoed (穿晚礼服的) musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as astonished by the pleasant theme as I was. I didn't realize that Sam had stood up next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, "Dance with me."
If only those women walking under the Paris moon knew the joy of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth. Although shoppers openly chuckled(咯咯笑) and pointed at us as we glided(滑行)and whirled(旋转)around the open space, I would not have traded a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.
24. From the passage we know_______.
A. Annie knew how important she was to her mother.
B. shoppers didn’t notice the author dancing with her son.
C. there are bedtime stories in the Tale of Samuel Whiskers.
D. Sam was not surprised at the music which was played in the store.
25. When the author knew her daughter could not stop looking at her pretty face, she felt_____.
A. sad B. deeply moved C. annoyed D. ashamed
26. Why wouldn’t the author trade a dance with her son even if she was given the world?
A. Because she knew she wouldn’t be given the universe.
B. Because her son was the most important person to her.
C. Because she thought she was the happiest one at the moment.
D. Because it was very important for the author to dance with her son.
27. What does the author want to prove by showing two examples of her kids?
A. Her kids love her very much.
B. She enjoys staying with her kids.
C. The greatest moments of a lifetime always come unexpectedly.
D. Those women walking under the moon should enjoy the happiness with kids.
C
On the banks of Tanzania’s Lake Eyasi lives the world’s last hunter-gatherer tribe (部落) -- the Hadza. They don’t grow food, raise animals or build houses. Instead they live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years.
Their world is one of complete freedom-- something modern society can barely imagine and is unlikely to ever experience, let alone have the skills to stay alive. Text messages and phone calls don’t exist. Nor do cars and electricity. No jobs, timetables, and social structures. No laws, taxes and unbelievably, no money-- the closest thing to currency is the trade for a pair of shorts with a neighboring tribe.
We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboons (狒狒), a daily activity for the men. Their land is packed with sharp bushes, poisonous snakes and man-eating lions. But a successful hunting trip is the difference between eating or going hungry.
The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey, fruit and meat. Men often hunt in pairs to shoot animals with bows and arrows. The Hadza show us how to track animals, from baboons to snakes to lions. They are hugely skilled with their handmade bows and arrows -- we have a go and barely get the arrow to go three feet in front of us.
The language of the Hadza is believed to be the oldest still-spoken language known to man. The Hadza don’t have conflict, and have no memory of starvation. Their population never reaches numbers that cannot be supported through hunting or gathering. They never get from their land more than they need.
Unlike modern-day office workers, the Hadza enjoy an extraordinary amount of free time. Their “work”-- hunting for food-- takes up around five hours of their day. They’ve been in such a state of peaceful existence for thousands of years.
28. We can learn from the text that the Hadza_______.
A. lead a very primitive life B. live on traditional agriculture
C. have their own system of currency D. show a lot of interest in new technology
29. Which of the following can describe the Hadza’s environment?
A. Stressful. B. Comfortable. C. Exciting. D. Dangerous.
30. The relationship between the Hadza and nature_______.
A. is going wrong B. is full of conflict
C. is in perfect harmony D. is changing all the time
31. Why does the author come to visit the Hadza?
A. To study their native language. B. To get to know their way of life.
C. To learn survival skills from them. D. To persuade them to protect animals.
D
Fear is hardly a new parental feeling, of course. But the fear of letting our children out of sight for even a second---that’s new. And it feeds not only on reasonable worry, but also on a steady diet of pressure. “Powerful cultural pressures encourage parents to regard every childhood experience from the standpoint of the worst possible outcome,” says Paranoid Parenting author Frank Furedi. “To do otherwise is to be seen as an ‘irresponsible parent’.”
I received an e-mail about a father who’s following his daughter’s field trip to make sure she’s safe, and even a mother in New York City admits that she won’t let her daughter go to the
mailbox alone as she’s afraid someone may kidnap(绑架)her daughter. How did this happen?
“TV,” says Trevor Butterworth,an editor at a media group. “TV exists to scare you.” Thanks to a steady stream of those stories, it starts to feel as if kidnappings, are happening all the time,in any car near you. “But they’re not, ”says sociologist David Finkelhor. “Crimes against kids are down to levels we haven’t seen since the early 70s. ”
The fact is,children, 40 times more likely to die in a car accident,and that doesn’t stop us from driving them to school.But we blame parents for “letting” anything happen to their children.The “sympathetic” TV host will ask, “Why? Why did you let her go to her piano lesson alone?”
That’s why the the story about my nine-year-old son, Izzy,riding on the subway by himself, stuck people so deeply. But he probably put it best. Like all of us who'd grown up with the freedom to walk to a friend's house and play in a park, he didn't think it was a big deal." It was fun,” he said. Plus, being on national TV meant that be missed math class. Sometimes it really pays to be brave.
32 . Frank Furedi’s words in Para1, suggest that .
A. parents are under pressure to see the dark side of society
B . the fear of kids’ absence is common for parents
C . it’s hard to become a responsible parent
D . people are forced to protect their kids
33. The example of a father and a mother are used to show .
A . parents are fearful about kids’s safety
B . parents should strictly limit their kids’ time out
C . Parents are nervous about road safety all the time
D . parents should be perfectly aware of their surroundings
34. In the author’s eyes, TV
A. plays a small part in reducing kid--related car accidents
B . is focusing too much on crimes against kids
C . fails to guide parents in kids’ education
D . make up stories about kidnappings
35. What can be the best tiile for the text?
A. Keep away from TV B. A Spirit of Adventure
C. Trust Between People D. Let's Stop Scaring Kids

Last month, I, together with my parents, were invited to my uncle in the USA. My uncle, who moved America when I was five, had been living there for nearly ten years. He met us at the airport. I was excited while I set my foot on the land of America. In the following days, we visited some places of interests and took photos in the front of the Statue of Liberty. We both enjoyed visiting the Museum of Natural Hiatory because it great enriched our knowledge. For me, this is one of the most rewarded trips I have never made in my life.

Dear Mike,
Thank you very much for your concern. Last month several places in Zhengzhou were blanketed(覆盖)with thick yellow fog. Everything around disappeared from our sight. Some highways were closed. Traffic jams were commonly seen in the streets. Many people, especially children and seniors, even found it difficult to breathe. As a result, local hospitals were crowded with people who had problems with their noses and lungs. Part of the cause was the dry weather, but the severely damaged environment contributed a lot to this nightmare. Personally, I didn’t get any health problems in the haze because I stayed mostly indoors. But to make a significant change we really have to do more to protect our environment. To live a better life we have to push on with the economy, but it wound be meaningless if we have to achieve it at the cost of our breathing air.
Regards!
Yours,
Li Hua
