Sarah cried, "Robert,they're showing off!"Although she was laughing,they both heard the little ring of disappointment in her voice,and both knew that they were letting her down.They had surely never had such a difficult moment.It was Robert Graham who saved the situation.He came forward holding out both hands."I am deeply grateful to you two young people.You've had Sarah to yourselves for a long time.Thank you for agreeing to share her with me.I know it can't be easy."And although this was just the sort of words they would call dull,the sincerity（真诚）gave it a guarantee.They knew he meant what he said.He was indeed thanking them.And by doing so he pulled them back to reality and made them themselves again.21.Upon entering the living room, Charlotte experienced .A.a sudden sense of loss B.a curiosity to see her stepfatherC.an urge to be more polite than Nicholas D.a feeling of anger directed at her stepfather22.Sarah found the moment difficult because she was . A.deeply moved by Charlotte's greeting B.embarrassed by the children's behaviorC.afraid Nicholas would leave her D.having doubts about remarrying23.The text suggests that Sarah and Robert .A.made the situation difficult on purpose B.found the children's responses amusingC.cared about the feelings of the children D.felt upset about the children's attitudeBDropping your smartphone when taking a selfie（自拍照）could soon be less risky,says specialty glass maker Corning.For more than 160 years,Corning has applied its unique technology in specialty glass to develop products that have created new industries and changed people's lives.Corning's work in specialty glass dates back to 1879, when the company produced the glass used in the famous Thomas Edison lightbulb（灯泡）.The company's next generation of Gorilla Glass has come along-the material used in more than 70% of smartphone screens,including on Samsung and Apple products.Corning said Gorilla Glass 5 could survive more than 80% of drops from as high as 1.6 meters.Broken or cracked screens are the number one cause of smartphone repairs and customer complaints globally, followed by overheat.The new glass was tested on rough surfaces-phone models were dropped from a height of 1.6 meters onto a sheet of sandpaper.Some of the phones tested survived over 20 hard drops in the lab.Typically,most phone drops are from between waist and shoulder height.As well as drops,the company said it was twice as good at resisting scratch（划痕）and other damage compared to what's currently on the market.Smartphone producers are expected to market products with the new glass within the next few months."We've been working with our closest customers for quite some time now," Corning's vice president and general manager John Bayne said."And there's huge interest in this product for obvious reasons."24.What is paragraph 3 mainly talking about?A.Tests on the new glass. B.Complaints from customers.C.Causes of screen damage. D.Marketing of the new glass.25.What do we know about Gorilla Glass 5?A.It's well received in the market. B.It began to be produced in 1879.C.It has changed people's lives. D.It's strong and doesn't break easily.26.What is John Bayne's attitude towards the future of the new glass?A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Defensive.D.Uncertain.CIf there's one thing everyone knows about the Dead Sea, it is that you can't sink in it.It is eight or nine times saltier than the oceans of the world-so mineral-rich that it doesn't even feel like normal water,more like olive oil mixed with sand.For decades,no holiday in the Holy Land or Jordan has been complete without a photograph of the bather sitting on the surface,usually reading a newspaper.But the Dead Sea is also a unique ecosystem and a sensitive barometer（晴雨表）of the state of the environment in a part of the world where a dry climate and the need to irrigate farms combine to create a permanent shortage of water.You may have read that the Dead Sea,whose surface is the lowest point on the planet,is dying.You can see why the idea appeals to headline writers but it isn't true.The truth is that as the level drops,the saltiness is rising and will eventually reach a point where the rate of evaporation（蒸发）will reach a kind of equilibrium,-the amount of water vapor that goes into the air equals that of rainfall.The Dead Sea is,however,becoming smaller at an alarming rate-the surface level is dropping more than a meter a year.The surface of the Dead Sea is so deep that journeying along the road which winds down to the shore causes your ears to pop as they do on a landing plane.The other side of the coin,however,is the beautiful landscape and relief in the combination of mineral-rich water,comforting mud and abundant sunlight as your reward.Tourists can choose to visit resorts in either Jordan or Israel and both countries also export makeup products made in this area.27.What do we know about the Dead Sea from the passage?A.It is disappearing at a fast speed. B.It is of great economic value.C.It results in the shortage of water. D.It looks a bit like normal water.28.What does the underlined word “equilibrium” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A.extremeB.dangerC.balanceD.optimism29.What can be the best title for the text?A.The Truth behind Beauty B.A New Low-Point for EarthC.A Terrible Environmental Problem D.The Consequence of Climate Change30.The passage is written mainly to .A.promote the Dead Sea tourism B.present facts about the Dead SeaC.describe the beauty of the Dead Sea D.call for the protection of the Dead Sea第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Long bus rides are like television shows.They have a beginning,a middle,and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. 31 They happen whether you want them or not.Every couple of minutes a billboard passes by outside the bus window."Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.""Drink Good Wet Root Beer." "Fill up with Pacific Gas." Only if you sleep,which is equal to turning the television off,are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting,even if you've traveled that way before.32 It is also fun to try to figure out the style of the driver. 33 Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right,or the left-hand lane?After a while,of course,the excitement dies down. 34 And food makes this part of bus rides more interesting.But you've got to be careful of what kind of food you eat.Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning.You know it will soon be over and there's a kind of expectation and excitement. 35 By now you've sat with your legs crossed,with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the armrests,and even with your hands behind your head.The end comes just at no more ways to sit.A.Usually some things have changed: new houses,new buildings,sometimes even a new road.B.Each part has its own characteristic.C.The commercials are unavoidable.D.Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride.E.The seat,of course,has become harder as the hours have passed.F.It is so boring that you need something to refresh you.G.If the driver is particularly adventurous,the ride can be as thrilling as an exciting story.第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共 20个小题；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项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When my mother passed away a few years ago,my father was left alone in the large house they had shared for 50 years.Without her to 36 him,he worried about who would help him 37 "something happened".My sister and I live in other states,so we 38 the idea that Dad could send us an e-mail every morning when he awoke. 39 was born the Morning Report.He's usually up 40 ,and his half a dozen or so sentences are waiting in my email box when I wake up.If there's no e-mail,I 41 him,or my sister does,to make sure 42 is fine.The reports have become 43 a daily check,though: They're a catalyst（催化剂）for more extended conversations,and a source of deep understanding 44 his life.Through them,Dad tells us about his 45 routines.He might either be heading to the grocery store for bananas46 going to his exercise activities.Each e-mail 47 with “All my love,Dad".When my mother was alive,that strong feeling was 48 kept for her.Now he 49 those feelings and his experiences with us.For me,what was regarded as a 50 security measure has resulted in a deeper 51 .I'm grateful my father is still able to manage his 52 .I know the day will come 53 he'll no longer be able to write the 54 , and we'll have to find other ways to keep records on one another.But until then,they are our way of knowing that another normal day 55 .36.A.look forward to B.watch out for C.keep up with D.get along with37.A.unless B.because C.whether D.if38.A.came up B.advocated for C.hit on D.took up39.A.Thus B.Now C.And D.That40.A.at dusk B.at dawn C.at noon D.at night4l.A.wake B.urge C.call D.help42.A.everything B.everybody C.nothing D.something43.A.rather than B.other than C.more than D.less than44.A.of B.at C.to D.for45.A.daily B.busy C.common D.ordinary46.A.and B.but C.or D.then47.A.begins B.communicates C.chatsD.closes48.A.luckily B.hardly C.almost D.usually49.A.expresses B.shows C.shares D.has50.A.difficult B.simple C.casual D.proper51.A.closeness B.confidence C.attitude D.trust52.A.life B.house C.computer D.meals53.A.when B.where C.since D.before54.A.ideas B.feelings C.activities D.reports55.A.has begun B.had begun C.began D.is begun第卷第二节：（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。Say “I Can”The power of an“I can”attitude is amazing.A guy named Danny who tried out for The Biggest Loser weighed more than anyone I'd ever seen at his age-19 years old and 450 pounds.He couldn't even close his hands 56 (make)a fist.I usually think anyone can do anything, 57 I had my doubts about him."You scare me",I said to him. 58 (honest),I don't think you can do it.And by the way,where are your shoes?"“It's too hard to get them on", he replied."Name it.Ill do anything to be on this show. 59do you want me to prove that I can do it?"“OK”,I said, 60 (figure) I'd scare him off."Go out of this room,and take the first door on your right.It's the 61(stair).Take them down to the bottom"-we were on the 20th floor-"then climb back up."Without 62 (hesitate),he walked out of the r
