When they heard the familiar “thump, thump“ of their father's car as it turned off the street and into the driveway, the children ran outside, zipped （快速移动）past their father and hurried into the back seat of the car.They were greeted by a familiar furry face and a wagging tail. Both face and tail belonged to Daisy, their three-year-old German shepherd. In the seat beside her lay her harness （背带）.It was the symbol of Daisy and the children's hard work. If all had gone well this afternoon, the harness would become Daisy's work uniform, a sign to the world that she was a fully trained service dog.Every day for eighteen long months, Skyler and Kenny had trained Daisy to work with the visually impaired: people with sight problems or blindness. First, they trained her to perform the tasks that every obedient dog should know. Daisy learned to sit, to walk on a leash （皮带），and to settle patiently and wait. Those simple tasks came easily to their intelligent pup.But the more challenging tasks took time and patience. Daisy learned to move carefully around objects like signposts and trash cans. She needed to keep well clear of them in order to guide her owner along a safe path. Daisy learned to stop at the edge of a staircase, or any other spot that required a step up or down. A professional service dog trainer helped with the most challenging tasks. He taught Daisy to ignore orders that might put her owner in danger.Today, all of their hard work had come to a conclusion. Daisy had taken her service dog exam. But did she pass? Skyler and Kenny followed their father into the front hallway, with Daisy tagging close behind. They looked at their father expectantly. Their father gave a smile and a nod. The children ran off to tell their mother the news.4. What were the children waiting for by the door?A. A gift in the back seat.B. Adog they raised.C. A new car father bought.D. A familiar friend they missed.5. Why did Daisy take an exam?A. To better guide her owner.B. To show off her intelligence.C. To perform more challenging tasks.D. To get official recognition to provide service.6. Which of the following best describe Daisy's 18-month training?A. Hard and dangerous.B. Easy and purposeful.C. Professional but challenging.D. Amusing but time-consuming.7. What was probably t6the news”？A. Daisy would be trained again.B. Daisy would be free of harness.C. Daisy didn't do well in the exam.D. Daisy became a qualified service dog.CAs online learning becomes more common and more and more resources are converted （改变） to digital form, some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and, in their place, everyone should be given an iPad with an e-reader subscription （订贝勾）.Supporters of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they won't have to travel to a library to get a book; they can simply click on what they want to read and read it from wherever they are. They could also access more materials because libraries won't have to buy physical copies of books; they can simply rent out as many digital copies as they need.However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets. First, digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. For example, staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause numerous health problems, blurred vision, dizziness, dry eyes, headaches, and eye strain.Second, it is incredibly naiTow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries have a number of benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. A Pew survey conducted in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American adults feel that closing their local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, benefits tablets can't offer nearly as well or as easily.While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the countless issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many of the benefits of libraries that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by a simple object.8. What benefits do the supporters believe to get after shutting down libraries?A. It is not expensive to maintain the libraries.B. More people are inspired to spend more time reading.C. Digital copies can be rented everywhere.D. It is easier to click on what they want to read.9. What can we learn from the Pew survey conducted in 2015?A. People have divided opinions.B. Tablets can't help people read well.C. Libraries strengthen the bond with people.D. Closing the library has some benefits.10. What is the writer's attitude towards shutting down public libraries?A. FavorableB. UnclearC. IndifferentD. Opposed11. Which is the best title of the text?A. Libraries irreplaceable.B. Tablets needed.C. Online learning popping up.D. Libraries gaining popularity.DThe Piraha are a primitive Amazonian tribe （部落）of hunter-gatherers who live deep in the Brazilian rainforest. The tribe has survived, their culture well-preserved, for centuries, although there are now only around 200 left. The Piraha, who communicate mainly through sounds and whistles, have fascinated scientists for years, mainly because they have almost no words for numbers. They use only three words to count one, two, and many.We know about the Piraha thanks to Professor Dan Everelt, who spent seven years with the tribe in the 70s and 80s. Everelt discovered a world without numbers, without time, without words for colors, without clauses and without a past tense. Their language, he found, was not just simple grammatically; it was limited in its range of sounds and differed between the sexes. For the men, it has just 11 speech sounds; for the women, it has only 10, the smallest number of speech sounds in the world. The language sounds more like humming than speech. The Piraha can also whistle their language, which is how men communicate when hunting.Their culture is similarly constrained. The Piraha can't write, have little collective memory, and no concept of decorative art. In 1980 Everelt tried to teach them to count, he explained basic counting skills to an enthusiastic group fond of learning them to trade with other tribes. After eight months, not one could count to ten; even one plus one was beyond them. The experiment seemed to confirm Everelt's theory: the tribe just couldn't understand the concept of number.The Piraha9s inability to count is important because it seems to disprove Noam Chomsky's influential Theory of Universal Grammar, which holds that the human mind has a natural ability for language, and that all languages share a basic rule structure, which enables children to understand abstract （抽象的）concepts such as number. One of Chomsky's workmates has recently gone on an expedition （远征）to study the tribe. We do not yet know if the Piraha have persuaded him to change his theory.12. What's the Piraha's major attraction to researchers?A. A well-preserved lifestyle.B. A small existing population.C. A unique communicative way.D. An extremely simple counting system.13. What can we learn about the Piraha according to Everelt9 s findings?A. They use few speech sounds.B. Women speak less than men.C. Their grammar is complicated.D. They communicate only by whistling.14. What does the underlined word “constrained“ mean in Paragraph 3?A. StrangeB. AttractiveC. LimitedD.Respectable15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Findings about the Piraha help us know more about human mind.B. The Piraha's inability to count challenges an existing theory of grammar.C. A researcher is making an exploration to study the Piraha's counting ability.D. Languages have a similar structure so we can understand abstract concepts.第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you have clothes in your wardrobe （衣柜）that you never wear? Do you keep things in your cupboards that you never use? Do you have books on your shelves that you never open? And what about the mess on the floor? 16 If the answer to these questions is yes, then you're not alone. Most of us have too much stuff.People with untidy, cluttered （杂舌L 的）rooms have untidy minds. 17 This makes them unhappy. There is no doubt that too much stuff is bad for us and we have to change.Now, imagine this bedroom: a white floor, a bed, a wardrobe and a desk and chair. That's all. It looks calm and relaxing. This is the minimalist style. Minimalists believe that they don't have to own a lot of possessions （物品）to be happy. 18You are probably asking at this point "Do I have to get rid of all my favourite things?” 19 A minimalist room is too extreme for most people, and personal possessions like photos and books are comforting and help us to feel at home. 20 Consider this simple rule: if you don*t use something for longer than 6 months, get rid of it. You have to regularly tidy and sort out all the stuff in your room. After decluttering, you'll have more space in your wardrobe and cupboards. No more “You must tidy your room!” from your parents! Your room will look more spacious （宽敞的） and youll feel free!E. Of course the answer is that you don't.F. Actually, they enjoy their messy home.G. But occasional tidying isn't a bad idea.H. They try to live with only essential things.I. Why do you keep so much stuff in your room?J. Is it difficult to find things when you need them?K. They can feel stressed and they find it difficult to relax.第二部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面的短文，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。Recently, as I neared the top of a difficult 35 foot climb at the local climbing gym, I made a dynamic move to reach the last hold.
