11、6分) Paris is the city of dreams. If you plan to head to Paris for a study period, then perhaps a little reality check is in order. But my experience was a romantic one.I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program. On arrival in Paris, I was constantly reminded of the official processes I had
12、 to complete forms to be filled in, meetings to attend, the list seemed endless.Then the real work began. Once classes were underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first, rather than last. This method proved to be very helpful.Once I had finished class for the
13、week, I had an ever-increasing list of museums to visit, neighborhoods to explore, and cafs to sit in. Read books about Paris. Talk to locals and other foreigners living there. But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Pa
14、ris on foot. The people watching, the sounds of the city, the colors as the seasons change, they all add to the ecstasy that I experience in Paris as an exchange student.After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods, I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from eve
15、ry open door, and with every spoken word. There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to enjoy the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying bonjour to the passers-by.On my last day in Paris, I confidently said, “Bonjour Monsieur,
16、” as I passed the little store down the street. I guess the best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own way. And I know mine is unique and special to me, my own little pieces of Paris.1、What does the underlined word ecstasy in Paragraph 4 probably mean?ACo
17、urage.BImagination.CHappiness.DReputation.2、What does the passage mainly tell us?AAn exchange students life.BCharming neighborhoods.CAn exchange program.DA traveling experience.3、Beyond reading books, which experience would the author treasure most?AEnjoying coffee in his spare time.BGreeting people
18、 in French in the street.CBuying vegetables in the market.DHanging around in Paris.4、According to the passage, what left the author the deepest impression?AThe friendly people he met in Paris.BThe special culture he experienced in the city.CThe academic achievement he made in his study.DThe presenta
19、tions and assignments he did in class.22(8分)Comedy and PsychologyEarlier this year I did a part-time comedy course. The class was taught by Ryan, a professional comedian.I had performed a show, which wasnt originally meant to be a comedy. However, the audience laughed at my first joke, then continue
20、d to laugh throughout the routines that were meant to be serious. So it was the audience who told me I was funny, but I didn t understand why or how to control the comic (滑稽的) moments. So, I joined the course to learn.“Turn off your editor that makes you say the right thing and remember how to be a
21、child,” explained Ryan. “Dont try to be clever. Dont try too hard to be funnyand knowing all about the theory of humor is unlikely to help you much. Just behave in a silly way. Thats what people want to see on stage.”Ryan would help us loosen up by saying things like, “Wander around talking to other
22、s, but make sure that youre the lowest status person here.”I d say that understanding the psychology of humor has actually helped. Recently I came across the book Inside Jokes: Using Humor to Reverse-Engineer the Mind. Its main idea is that any self-directed intelligent system will need to correct i
23、ts own fault. Theres a risk that the occasional error will be made. If this was boring or burdensome, wed be less willing to do it. However, evolution has made the process fun.Heres a joke in the book: Two fish are in a tank. One says to the other, “Do you know how to drive this thing?” It works on
24、the principle that we have started to imagine one thingthat the tank is the typical container people keep fish inand, just in time, the following words tell us that our first assumption was wrongits a heavy vehicle. For correctly figuring out the error, we are rewarded with a pleasurable feeling. Th
25、e joke is an efficient way of encouraging this natural reaction, and comedians have become experts in slightly touching this mental funny-bone in order to make us laugh.Ryan was right when he said that knowing the theory of humor wouldnt help us that much as a comedy.During one exercise in the cours
26、e, four of us were told to perform an opera. Susan and Caroline sang earnestly on either side of the stage, and I brought Henry to the floor, where we wrestled (摔跤) each other like out-of-control teenagers. The rest of the group was in uncontrollable fits of laughter. As a performer, I ll never appr
27、eciate just why it seemed so funny. But the point is that I would never have written this on the paper. It was a joyous, found moment.1、Why did the author attend the comedy course?AHe wanted to see how the theories worked in practice.BHe discovered he had some natural ability in comedy.CHe worried a
28、bout how other performers would find him.DHe got unpleasant experiences when performing a comedy.2、Ryan required the people on the comedy course to_.Acopy their favorite performanceBimagine other people s reactionsChelp themselves feel comfortableDbehave in a more playful manner3、What is the purpose
29、 of the joke mentioned in Paragraph 4?ATo discuss what humor brings about exactly.BTo give an example of another kind of humor.CTo prove the point about psychology of humor.DTo show why some people are funnier than others.4、What view does the author put forward in the end?AVisual humor is what appea
30、ls to people most.BWhat people find funny is often unpredictable.CTheories explaining humor tend to be mistaken.DLearning comic skills proves to be a difficult task.23(8分)A cheetah (猎豹) can run 70 miles per hour. Blobfish (水滴鱼) dont have any bones. These are facts Ive learned from my 5-year-old son
31、after he watched some networks, shows. He is greatly interested in scientific facts, so I was surprised the other day when I mentioned climate change.After a few more questions, I discovered that hes never heard any of his favorite science shows mention climate change. It is strange, because climate
32、 change is one of the most important environmental issues of our time. My son can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about red pandas, except for the fact that their existence is being threatened by the changing climate.I reached out to PBS Kids, Nickelodeon, and Disney Junior to see if the
33、re was any truth to his claim. I was told that except an episode (一段情节) of Disney Juniors Doc McStuffins called The Big Storm, none of the three networks shows has ever discussed the causes of climate change on our planet. Maybe youre wondering if the reason is that kids science shows dont ever tack
34、le troubling environmental issues.Why arent these networks introducing kids to such an important issue? According to Maria, spokeswoman for PBS Kids, its because the network feels that focusing on foundational science concepts is the most age-appropriate way to serve our audience. I dont know about
35、you, but Id rather my kid learn a little about the melting polar ice caps than other things.And kids can handle climate change. Even young children are able to understand the basic idea. More importantly, theyre able to begin taking action to slow down global warming. My guess is that the networks a
36、re afraid that promoting the science on a politically controversial (争议性的) issue will lead them to lose viewers or advertisers. But if thats true, and theyre choosing their bottom line over the education of Americas children, thats a real shame. Kids need to learn about the issue that threatens thei
37、r planet if theyre ever going to feel inspired to save it.1、Why did the author feel surprised at her son?AHe has known many scientific facts.BHe has watched a lot of networks shows.CHe didnt care about global warming.DHe knew nothing about climate change.2、The author watched the three networks shows
38、 in order to .Aget to know her sons preferenceBfind the reason of her sons ignoranceCfind the causes of climate changeDhelp her son know environmental issues3、What does the author think his son should do?ALearn something about environmental issues.BHelp to slow down global warming.CDiscuss important
39、 issues with others.DLearn to handle climate change.4、What is the purpose of the authors writing this text?ATo advice kids not to watch networks shows.BTo introduce some politically controversial issues.CTo express his attitude towards some networks.DTo call on all Americans to care about kids educa
40、tion.24(8分)The discussion on renewable energy has been going on for at least a decade and people have relied on fossil fuels almost entirely for more than a century. However, the situation when fossil fuels were the most efficient and the cheapest source of energy has been left far in the past. Many
41、 countries such as Germany and Sweden have already made significant efforts to fix this situation, employing numerous power plants working on the renewable resources of energy. The most effective among these resources is geothermal(地热的)energy.Geothermal energy does not depend on the worlds economic
42、and political situation as strongly as fossil fuels do. Besides, extracting(提炼)fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from them. Therefore, geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional ones, saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.Being a renewable resource, geothermal energ
43、y produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources. In geothermal systems, carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air produced. Overall, in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour, the geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gase
44、s. For a comparison, a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and those power plants that work on coal(煤)produce an astonishing 3.6 pounds of greenhouse gases.Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choi
45、ce for many countries. Geothermal heat systems require 25% to 50% less energy for work compared with the traditional systems for heating or cooling. Besides, geothermal equipment is less big: due to the very nature of geothermal energy, geothermal power plants have only a few moving parts, all of wh
46、ich can be easily sheltered inside a relatively small building. Whats more, the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long. All these make geothermal power stations easy to build and keep.1、Fossil fuels are more expensive than geothermal energy partly because _.Ait is free to use geothermal en
47、ergyBthe production of fossil fuels costs a lotCfossil fuels are nearly used upDgeothermal energy doesnt depend on political situation2、According to Paragraph 3, what can be concluded from the comparison?AGeothermal energy is environmentally friendly.BGas and coal are often used to produce electrici
48、ty.CCoal is much more efficient than gas.DThe geothermal systems dont produce harmful gases.3、Geothermal equipment is usually not as big as that of traditional energy because of_.Athe life span of geothermal equipment Bgeothermal power plantsCthe nature of geothermal energy Dthe small buildings4、Wha
49、t is the main idea of this passage?AMany countries have benefited from geothermal energy.BGeothermal energy is well accepted.CFossil fuels are being run out of.DGeothermal energy has many advantages.25(10分)There are some places in the world that one wants to return again and again. After my first vi
50、sit to Boracay, Philippines, in March of last year, I knew that I would return soon. I was there again in April this year.It was on the island that I first tried kite-surfing. The Bulabog Beach on the eastern side of Boracay has many wind-surfing and kite-surfing sports centers. I randomly chose a c
51、enter, which happened to be an affiliation(附属机构) of International Kiteboarding Organization.The organization has training centers around the world, and some of its courses are tailored for beginners like me.The center on Boracay has different courses, from recreational to professional. In the recrea
52、tional category, trainees have to do the discovery level before they go on to more advanced levels.My instructor Brian, who was from the United States, strictly followed the centers rules about levels, and began the training by asking me to set up the kite on the sand, which was the very first step
53、at the ground level of the discovery course.I had a teammate, and we both couldnt wait to have the feeling of riding with the wind on the surface of the water. But we had to practice at length the various skills for assessing the direction of the wind and the move-ments of our bodies.It was there in
54、 March, which was still the windy season on the island. Because of the winds, the Philippines were important on the ancient marine (海上的) trade route. They call the wind Amihan, or trade winds.From May to October, the Amihan wind is channeled through the hills on the northern and southern ends of the
55、 island from the east onshore, and onto the Bulabog Beach on the eastern coast of the island.1、Do you think why the author returned to Boracay?ABecause it is a small island in the Philippines.BBecause he intended to settle down there.CBecause the place was very attractive.DBecause the kite-surfing o
56、n this island was rather exciting.2、What does the underlined word tailored in Paragraph 3 mean?Alost Bknown Ccancelled Ddesigned3、What kind of person is Brian?AEasy-going. BStrict. CDull. DFriendly.4、Why did the Philippines call the wind trade winds?ABecause the Philippines started to trade in the w
57、indy season.BBecause the winds made the Philippines active in the ancient time.CBecause the Philippines had been relying on the winds to trade.DBecause the winds benefited the Philippines a lot in the ancient maritime trade.第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节)第一节(每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选
