I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works but they chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husbands patience for her continuous talk. Distracted ( 心烦意乱的) by their noise, I moved on. I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant words, I moved away quickly.I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick andthen carefully went into the coatroom to get his wifes jacket.“Hes a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. But he made a promise that his life wouldnt change. So, as before, he and his wife e in whenever theres a new art show.”“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He cant see.”“Cant see? Youre wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.24. “I moved away quickly.” in Paragraph 1 shows that the writer .A. was in the hope of visiting more roomsB. was in a hurry to buy some giftsC. was tired of the nonstop talkingD. was not interested in the art show25. After hearing what the clerk had said about the couple, the writer was .A. encouragedB. touchedC. excitedD. annoyed26. The young couple was at an art museum .A. to enjoy paintingsB. to discuss paintingsC. to describe paintingsD. to show their love27. The passage is mainly about .A. the importance of artB. good manners in publicC. patience of a husbandD. love between a coupleCAs a young adult, Noah Webster was a teacher. At this time, the colonies were fighting for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examplesa grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way theywere pronounced. For example, he thought the word “head” should be spelled “hed”， and the word “laugh”should be spelled “laf”. People liked Websters suggestions.However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor” ， and the British write “colour” and “labour”.With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to write. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828.Websters dictionary had over 70，000 words and gave the meaning and origin of each. To this day, Websters work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.28Which of the following statements is TRUE?ANoah Webster had to borrow books from Britain when he was a student. BAs a teacher, Noah Webster wasnt satisfied with the books he used. CWhen Noah Webster taught at schools, he wrote some storybooks. DNoah Webster had his own government when he was very young.29From the third paragraph , we know that .AWebster spoke English in a different way BAmerican people didnt like speaking English CWebster was good at correcting mistakes in textbooksDAmerican people didnt write English as exactly as English people did30In American history, Noah Webster is famous for .Ahis teaching methodsBhis dictionaryChis fighting for freedomDlearning foreign languages41The last sentence of this passage means .Amost dictionaries in the world are the copies of WebstersBmost American people followed Websters advice on writingCmost dictionaries in American English have the characteristics of WebstersDWebsters dictionary is the only one used in the United StatesD3D printing is being more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?Some scientists are trying to change the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3Dprinter in the kitchen will be as mon as the microwave oven or blender.Scientists say that itll be quite easy: you simply have to select a recipe(食谱)and put the raw food inks into the printer. You can also modify (修改) the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient. For example, alternative ingredients such as proteins from algae, beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products.Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble in swallowing them.However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value ofprinted food: is it really possible to be get the nutrients we need from foodbased inks and gels(凝胶)?Whats more ， cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.32. Which of the following best describes 3D food printing?A. Quick and popular.B. Easy and efficient.C. Nutritious and tasty.D. Soft and convenient.33. Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster?A. Traditional food would disappear.B. We could all eat the same food.C. It would affect the peoples health.D. Many people could lose their jobs.34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. 3D food printing will replace traditional cooking. B. The future of 3D food printing is uncertain.C. 3D food printing would be a failure.D. It would hurt our tradition of food culture.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Can 3D printing create everything?B. 3D food “printing”: ing to the kitchenC. 3Dprinting food will be in fashion! D. The disadvantage of 3D food printing第二节 ：（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 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。选项中的两项为多途选项。Ways to make a great first impressionYouve heard it a million times already, but it really takes a few seconds to make a good first impression(印象). Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers. 36 Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should notbe too strong or weak.
