Q1:Passage 1 In almost every big university in the United States, football is a favorite sport. American football is different. Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field. They have four chances to move the ball ten yards. They can carry it or they can throw it. If they move the ball ten yards, they can try to move it another ten yards. If they move it to the end of the field, they will receive six points. It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the other team try to stop the man with the ball. If he does not move the ball ten yards, his team will have to kick the ball to the other team. Each university wants its own team to win. Many thousands of people come to watch. They all shout for their favorite team. Young men and women come to the field to help the people shout louder. They dance and jump while they shout. Each team plays ten or eleven games each season. The season begins in September and ends in November. If a team is very good, it may play another game after the season ends. The best teams play again on January 1, the first day of New Year. Many people go to see these games and many others watch them on TV.[图片]

Q2:​​Passage 2 It is said that most people have not more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations. Also, there are no rules about friendship. There are no instructions about how to make friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become friends, this can lead to problems. Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendships. We may want to have more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the time to develop our friendships, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways to make new friends again. This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships.We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet.[图片]

Q3:Passage 3 Traveling is an exciting experience.It makes us feel pleased, and enjoy new wonders and new part of life that we’ve never known. A single holiday trip can give you the freedom and the chance to make changes that daily life does not allow. It matters little where you go on your holiday. It is all in what you make of it. Any travel can be interesting and attractive, and give you memories to last a lifetime. Having those memories is truly what travels are all about.Many people say that a bit of a planning and research before you leave can make sure of those long- lasting memories.But why not try something unexpected? In fact, the most unforgettable moments of a travel experience are the ones that you don't plan for. Yes, Maybe you’ll experience a bad meal in an unfamiliar place. But this experience will make sure you discover little-known shops or an open- air theater production that is only advertised in the local paper. You’ll find the enjoyable moments happening all around you:a wonderful sunset or a small child playing in the puddles of a cobble road.The magic will truly be in the trip you take. Take time to go for a long walk for enjoyment when visiting a new place, which will allow you to listen, smell, and see the different culture and sights that your busy life may stop you from enjoying. Simple things such as a leaf from a tree you sat under can keep the memories of your travel alive for years to come. Collect small things such as leaves, stones, or feathers, which can be turned into memorable works of art when you get back home.[图片]

Q4:Passage 4 A new study shows that plants are creating frequencies in responses to their surroundings, or in other words, they are reacting. These “reactions” in plants can be seen as analogical to human senses. We have learned over the past few years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing, and smelling. And with this newest finding we are just one sense away from completing the five human senses in some plants. For the first time, plants have been recorded making airborne sounds when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water starved crops. The researchers found that tomato and tobacco plants made sounds at frequencies humans cannot hear when facing situations such as lack of water or when being cut. On average, drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds per hour, while tobacco plants made 11 and unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to tell difference between the plant’s sounds and the wind, rain, and other surrounding noises of the greenhouse, in order to correctly identify the source of stress. Results showed that drought-stressed plants make significantly more sounds than control plants. Humans cannot hear the whole range of frequencies around us. If we could, we would likely become absent-minded and anxious by always hearing the frequencies around us including radio frequencies from cell towers near us or even cooking a frozen meal in the microwave. Thankfully, the range of human hearing is typically considered to be only 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. That is why humans are not sensitive to the sounds that plants are making.[图片]

Q5:二、完形填空We should show respect to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us — in age, in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education. Our 21 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 22 everything to their kindness and love. When we 23 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 24 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 25 our own love and gratitude to them. 26 , elders have also been through all the years you are 27 and know a little more about the world than you do. It is 28 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 29 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 30 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 31 . With changing times and 32 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 33 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 34 their voices. If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 35 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 36 to give up their places to older people. This is not a 37 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 38 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 39 disadvantage. When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 40 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.[图片]

Q6:三、判断正误Directions: For this part, you are going to read a passage with 5 statements attached to it. You are required to decide whether the statements are True or False. Mark A (for TURE) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; mark B (for FALSE) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage. You should make your judgement and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Are you happy most of the time? Or do you easily get angry sometimes? Everyone has a different temperament(脾气). It is usually believed that both genes（基因）and environment may influence people's temperament in different ways. Scientists have found that the season of the birth also plays a role. Scientists from Budapest,Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study, the students needed to finish some questions to know which of four kinds of temperament they most had. From the questions, scientists found that the students always answered something like“my mood often changes for no reason”and “I love to deal with new projects, even if it is risky”these answers were then connected with their birthdays. They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer. The study also found that those born in fall less probably had a mood of depression which may easily drive them to cry, while those in winter were not easier to be angry. Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people's moods even in adult life. “It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your change of developing certain mood disorders” scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.[图片]
