exhausted?Maybe most of you would say“yes”.After a particularly busy period at work,I decided to get away from it all by going on a hike in the mountains in southern France.Before I left,I read an interesting story in a magazine.It read,“Once,while I was riding on a crowded bus,the man sitting next to me threw his cell phone out of the window when his phone rang.I was surprised.He looked at me,shrugged(耸耸肩)and looked away.I had no idea whether it was his or stolen or whether he even knew what a cell phone was or not,but he clearly wanted to be free of it,because it clearly troubled him.”Billions of people across the world use cell phones.Though cell phones are a wonderful way for communication,they often do the exact opposite.Using cell phones can increase stress within families and friends.So when I recently returned home,I got rid of my cell phone.Now I go outside without taking my phone with me.Ive noticed things in my neighborhood I never noticed before,such as gardens.Ive met new people,started conversations with neighbors I didnt speak to before and talked with some of my friends face to face instead of chatting over the phone.Instead of keeping me off from the world,stopping using my cell phone has helped me get even closer to my family and friends.1、According to the story,the man on the bus threw away his cell phone because .Ait didnt work properly Bit was stolen from someone else Che didnt like the phones style Dhe didnt want to be bothered by it 2、We can learn from the passage that cell phones .Aare too expensive for many people Bare of no use to the author Ccan also get people into trouble Dcan make life more interesting 3、What can we learn about the author?AHe wants to own a garden now.BHe always chatted with his neighbors.CHe used to take his cell phone when going outside.DHe once threw away his cell phone.4、The main purpose of the passage is to .Atell us not to let cell phones control our lives Bencourage others to hike with him in France Cshare his experiences in France with us Dteach us how to get along with neighbors 22（8 分）Theyre in restaurants,hotels and homes all over the world.The saltwater aquarium,with its colour fish,bring a piece of the wild into your living room.But do you really know where those saltwater fish come from?A full 97 percent,yes,almost all kinds of saltwater fish cant be bred in captivity(人工养殖).They must instead be taken from the ocean.And how is that done?Most of the time,with sodium cyanide,it is a harmful chemical compound that many fish collectors in the Philippines,Sri Lanka,and Indonesia use to catch fish.They mix it with water and use it on the fish.Stunned,the fish can then be easily caught.What does cyanide do to the fish?There is a scientific study on cyanides effects.When there is cyanide in water,fish lose their balance and have difficulty breathing.Some fish simply die then and there.Many,many more die on the way to captivity.Although cyanide fishing in the Philippines,Sir Lanka,and Indonesia is not allowed,it sill happens too often.According to the World wildlife Fund,up to 90 percent of the saltwater fish that enter the US each year are caught this way.The Center for Biological Diversity is calling on the US government to avoid these imports.“Compared to many environmental problems now facing the worlds oceans,this is one that can easily be solved,”said Nicholas Whipps of the Center.“Because the US is such a powerful market player in this industry,the responsibility to stop this practice falls largely on the United State shoulders.”In the Philippines,private planes bring in cyanide to the fisherman and then take away the live fish.Live fish give the fisherman a better life than dead ones,so more and more fishermen have turned from supplying the fish-for-food trade to the fish-for-aquariums trade.The Center for Biological Diversity hopes the government will use the law to turn away cyanide-caught fish and persuade people to buy those only raised in captivity.1、What can we lean about cyanide fishing?AIt is within the law.BIt is the main reason why fish die.CIt brings death to many fish.DIt causes health problems for fishermen.2、A fish collector can easily catch saltwater fish when _.Athey become sick Bthey are swimming in cyanide-filled water Cthey consider cyanide as food Dthey get out of breath while trying to escape 3、The underline word“this”in Paragraph 6 refers to _.Aimporting fish from foreign countries Busing private planes to carry fish Coverfishing in the ocean Dcatching fish with cyanide 4、What does the Center want Americans to do?ASay no to cyanide-caught fish.BKeep cyanide fishing.CStay away from the harmful cyanide.DRaise more fish in captivity.23（8 分）Columbus Day has been on American calendars since 1937,when President Franklin DRoosevelt declared October 12 a federal holiday to honor the Italian explorer who“discovered”the Americas in 1942.However,the holiday has always been controversial.Many people believe that Christopher Columbus should not be given credit for“discovering”the continent,since native Americans had already been living there for generations.Besides,the explorers mission was not a scientific“voyage of discovery”,but one intended to conquer the new land.Critics maintain that the Spanish army Columbus brought on his second voyage,caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of indigenous(土著的)people.Those that survived the massacre became slaves,working in mines.Many,therefore,believe that the explorers arrival should not be celebrated.In 1977,a delegation of Native nations at the International Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas,proposed renaming the holiday to“Indigenous Peoples Day”.The proposal passed with a majority.However,convincing the rest of the country to do the same was not that easy.It took 15 years before the city of Berkeley in California adopted the name in 1992 and then 22 more years before Minneapolis,MN and Seattle,WA did the same in 2014.The following year,eight more cities including Albuquerque,NM and Portland,OR,began celebrating the second Monday of October as“Indigenous Peoples Day”.The movement really started to gain momentum in 2016 when 19 cities,including Boulder,CO and Phoenix,AZ,as well as the states of Minnesota and Vermont,all decided to rename the day to honor Native Americans.In 2017,21 more cities,including Austin,TX and Los Angeles,CA have made the shift.With the increasingly larger number of cities moving away from Columbus Day each year,it will be interesting to see if“Indigenous Peoples Day”gets federal recognition.Meanwhile,it will continue to be the focal point of debates throughout the Americas.1、Which of the following is the best title of the passage?AIndigenous Peoples Day Has Got Federal Recognition after Years Work BColumbus Day Honoring the Italian Explorer Has Always Been Controversial CChristopher Columbus Should Not Be Given Credit for Discovering Americas DMore Cities Have Replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day 2、Many people dont agree that .AColumbus discovered the continent BColumbus was a remarkable explorer CNative Americans were abused DColumbus Day is a public holiday 3、What can we infer from the second paragraph?AColumbus was well received by indigenous people BThe indigenous people hated the Columbus arrival CThe Spanish army rebelled against Columbus rule DFew soldiers survived the attack by native Americans 4、Which of the following cities is the earliest to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day?APortland BPhoenix CSeattle DLos Angeles 24（8 分）Mid-afternoon on a particularly busy Tuesday,I took leave of my desk at work and walked into a local Starbucks,only to find a space where neither my clients(客户)nor my children would ask me to do something.Inside,I ran into Kate,a co-worker of mine.The topic of parenthood came up.I complained about how packed my schedule was.From the minute I woke up to the minute I fell asleep,I was constantly in demand and always had someone knocking at the door.But a bit of sadness seemed to come over Kates face.“Well,my daughters in San Francisco and she doesnt seem to need me at all these days.”Kate said.It was in that moment that I realized although I might often feel in high demand,there will come a day when Ill actually miss that same stress I now complain about.And as our conversation continued,it turned to our childrens younger years,with Kate smiling proudly,thinking of the little boy and girl she raised who are now a man and a woman.But I noticed her smile was marked with regret.She explained that she often wondered about what she could have done differently when her children were in their earlier years.This got me thinking Is regret an unfortunate footnote(注脚)to parenthood?With that in mind,I asked six older parents one question:What is your biggest regret from your early days as a parent?It turned out that all of them thought they could have done it better.But,each of them also has a strong,healthy relationship with their kids.Whatever regrets their parents might have had about their upbringing,one thing is clearit didnt affect them in a meaningful way.The bottom line is,we all feel like we could be doing this parenting thing better,And quite clearly,years later,were still going to look back and wish we tried things differently.But the past cant be changed,and neither should it.1、What can be inferred from the first three paragraphs?AKate had the same problem as the authors.BThe two people had arranged to meet in the coffee shop.CKate went to the coffee shop so no one could find her there.DThe author went to the coffee shop to escape from the pressures around him.2、Why did Kate feel sad and regretful?ABecause she and her daughter had a fight.BBecause she hadnt paid enough attention to her kids.CBecause she was disappointed with her kids performance.DBecause she thought that she could have done better in raising her kids.3、What did the author find when he spoke to six older parents?ASome of the parents have a bad relationship with their kids.BHe was moved by the love of these parents for their children.CThese parents improved their behavior after their kids grew up.DNone of the parents were completely satisfied with the way they raised their kids.4、What should parents do according to the last paragraph?AGive more love to their kids.BLet your children grow up with freedom.CCherish the present time and do ones best to be a parent.DNever stop learning how to be a good parent from others.25（10 分）Think plants are just boring green things that you use for food and decoration?Think again!Plants are able to do some pretty awesome things that youre probably totally unaware of.Researchers have discovered that plants have the ability to communicate with an underground network made up of fungus(真菌),which serves the plants in many ways.Tomato plants use the fungus web to warn each other of their own unhealthy conditions.Trees connected through the fungus network could move nutrients(养分)to and from each other.It is believed that larger trees move nutrients to smaller ones to help them to survive.Not only that,but they can also damage unwelcome plants by spreading poisonous chemicals through the fungus.It sounds like the plant world had the Internet before we did.Some plants have a rather impressive line of defense against being eaten.When sensing they are being swallowed,they give off a chemical into the air that attracts the insects natural enemy.The enemy attacks the bug,thus saving the plants.This is basically the plant kingdom version of getting your older brother to beat up that kid who steals your lunch money.You might be aware that humans and animals have an internal clock.But did you know that plants also have this clock?This means they can prepare for certain times of day just like we do.Is it because the
