They were once among the most popular toys.1960—Etch A SketchFrench electrician Andre Cassagnes had the idea of a drawing toy with a joy stick,a glass screen,and aluminum (铝) powder.Using that idea,the Ohio Art Co.launched (推出) the Magic Screen in 1960,and you could erase the picture with a shake of your hands.You can still find the toy today.1964—SuperBallWhat happens when you accidentally create a plastic ball that jumps? The toy company,Wham-O Inc.,buys your idea and it ends up selling millions.That’s exactly what happened to Norman Stingley,a chemical engineer who came upon SuperBall.At one time,Wham-O had to produce over 170,000 balls a day to keep up with the demand.Unbelievably,the National Football Game named the Super Bowl game (a well-known American football game) after this jumping ball.1964—G.I.JoeIn 1964,Hasbro toy company created G.I.Joe,a line of action figures designed to represent the 4 branches of the US Armed Forces—Action Soldier (Army),Action Sailor (Navy),Action Pilot (Air Force),and the Action Marine (Marine Corps).G.I.Joe was imagined as an excellent military unit devoted to defending citizens’ freedom against the evil persons.It has attracted the imagination of boys around the world.1965—OperationAn unsteady hand is your downfall (落败的原因) in the game of Operation,which was invented by John Spinello,a student at the University of Illinois.Later,Spinello sold his right to the toy to a well-known toy designer Marvin Glass for a sum of $500.Operation is currently made by Hasbro,with estimated sales of $40 million.1.Which toy has a relationship with the sports event?A.Etch A Sketch. B.SuperBall.C.G.I.Joe.         D.Operation.2.Who probably are most interested in G.I.Joe?A.Those fond of arts.B.Those fond of construction.C.Those fond of brave soldiers.D.Those fond of kind doctors.3.If you want to play with Operation successfully,you should 　　　. A.keep your hand stableB.have better teamworkC.get Norman Stingley’s guidanceD.have a joy stick and a glass screenBI arrived at this beautiful Spanish island at the start of September,full of enthusiasm and eager to start working as an English teacher.I sorted all the necessary paperwork out and moved into a flat of my own within the first couple of days.Great,or so I thought.At 4 am and at several intervals after that,I was rudely awoken by the cock that lives opposite me.Fantastic! I now have 5 extra alarms every morning.In the following weeks,I also started to notice a trend.Things in my flat started to break at the rate of one object per day,like the hot water line,bowls,cups,the shower,doors or glass shelves.Yes,I am clumsy but things just fell apart.If it wasn’t broken,it would either be dirty or missing.Using my washing basket for the first time was pretty disgusting.When I took out my clothes,they were swiftly followed by a hundred or so bugs that were living in the bottom.As for the general lack of equipment in the house,there was no oven,tin opener,sharp knives or potato peeler.It turned out making a burger from scratch wasn’t the best idea.I had a small microwave and a grill.I thought the general understanding was never to put metal in a microwave but I went on.Smoke soon started to appear.I was not quite sure if it was the burger or the grill but as soon as I opened the door,the electricity cut out.I spent the following 10 minutes in a dark,smoky room hunting for the power switch using the light from my mobile phone,which broke the week after and left me without a connection to the outer world.Luckily,I’m now borrowing a phone and my luck has returned.No more things have broken (probably because there is nothing left to break).I’ve also realized that even if a flat looks pretty,it doesn’t mean its contents work.I am also learning how to adapt to life with limited,broken utensils (用具).4.What trouble did the author have in the morning?A.She often slept late.B.Her alarm failed to work.C.She got some noisy neighbors.D.Her sleep was disturbed by a rooster.5.What can we know about the author from Paragraph 2?A.She was a very careful woman.B.She was quite satisfied with her flat.C.Her flat was pretty old but comfortable.D.Her household articles were in poor condition.6.What happened when the author was making a burger?A.She was seriously injured.B.She made a terrible mistake.C.She broke her phone accidentally.D.She suffered a sudden power failure.7.What is the text mainly about?A.Remaining optimistic.B.How to choose a nice flat.C.Learning to live in a new flat.D.Why living abroad is not easy.CA trip to the theater,museum or art gallery could help you live longer.And the more often,the better,a new study suggests.Researchers from University College London (UCL) found that people who engaged in the arts more frequently—every few months or more—had a 31% lower risk of dying early when compared to those who didn’t.Even going to the theater or museum once or twice a year was linked with a 14% lower risk.“While other behaviors like smoking,alcohol and exercise are undoubtedly bigger predictors of death rate,these leisure and pleasure activities that people don’t think as a health-related activity do support good health and longevity.” said Daisy Fancourt,an associate professor at UCL’s Research Department of Behavioural Science and Health.The study looked at a range of economic,health and social factors to try and explain why there is a link between “arts engagement” and living longer,although as an observational study it can’t establish cause.Part of the reason,the study said,comes down to social and economic differences among those who go and don’t go to museums,exhibitions and art galleries.Wealth,they found,explained about 9% of the association.Cognitive differences,social and civic engagement,mental health,mobility and deprivation also played a role.Things like free time and occupational status made no material difference.The study said that engaging with the arts can reduce stress and build creativity that allows people to adapt to changing circumstances.It also helps people build social capital—accessing emotional support and information that helps people age more successfully.Everyone should have the chance to take part in cultural activities and the study added weight to growing concerns about the decline in arts subjects in schools and universities.8.What are the statistics in Paragraph 2 about?A.Connection with art.B.Risk of dying early.C.Chances of healthy living.D.Frequency of art engagement.9.What does Fancourt think of going to the concert?A.It contributes to living healthier and longer.B.It can improve people’s cultural awareness.C.It is a good behavior like smoking or exercising.D.It offers people opportunities to become artists.10.What can we infer from the text?A.People who have more free time enjoy visiting museums.B.Social status plays an important role in leading a happy life.C.Everyone taking part in art-related activities can live longer.D.There should be more arts subjects in schools and universities.11.Why did the researchers carry out the study?A.To find the cause of building creativity.B.To promote the mental health of the old.C.To analyze the link between arts and life.D.To influence the social behavior of people.DAir pollution shortens human lives by more than a year,according to a new study from a team of leading environmental engineers and public health researchers.Better air quality could lead to a significant extension of lifespans (寿命) around the world.It is the first time that data on air pollution and the lifespan has been studied together in order to check how air pollution affects overall life expectancy.The researchers looked at outdoor air pollution from particulate matter (PM) (颗粒物) smaller than 2.5 microns.These particulates can enter deep into the lungs,and breathing PM 2.5 is associated with the increased risk of heart attacks,strokes and cancer.PM 2.5 pollution comes from power plants,cars and trucks,fires,agriculture and industrial emissions (排放物).Led by Joshua Apte,the team used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study to measure PM 2.5 air pollution exposure and its consequences in 185 countries.They then quantified the national impact on life expectancy for each individual country as well as on a global scale.“The fact that air pollution is a major global killer is already well-known,”said Apte.“And we all care about how long we can live.Here,we were able to systematically identify how air pollution shortens lives around the world.What we found is that air pollution has a very large effect on survival—on average about a year globally.”In the context of other significant phenomena negatively affecting human survival rates,Apte said this is a big number.“For example,it’s considerably larger than the benefit in survival we might see if we found cures for both lung and breast cancer combined,”he said.“In countries like India and China,the benefit for elderly people of improving air quality would be especially large.For much of Asia,if air pollution were removed as a risk for death,60-year-olds would have a 15 percent to 20 percent higher chance of living to age 85 or older.”12.What do we know about PM 2.5?A.It has a bad effect on human health.B.It will be controlled in the future.C.It mainly comes from industrial emissions.D.It spreads to the world from Asian countries.13.What did the researchers do to study how air pollution affects the lifespan?A.They collected accurate information from all the Asian countries.B.They employed the research data to calculate the effects.C.They studied the disease and lifespan together time and time again.D.They measured particulate matter much more carefully than before.14.What can be inferred from the text?A.The key to people living longer is good air quality.B.People think air pollution is the most dangerous killer to them.C.Apte will agree that people should take action to deal with air pollution.D.Factories should decrease the production of cars to stop air pollution.15.What is the best title for the text?A.The way human beings enjoy a longer lifespanB.The importance of getting rid of air pollutionC.Asian people are suffering from serious air pollutionD.Air pollution reduces the lifespan by more than one

some brides choose to wear white,especially in the West.Usually,you will hear that brides wear white because “it’s a tradition”.But,historically,white was not the only color considered for wedding dresses.16.　　 For many centuries in Western societies,wedding dresses had different colors.17.　　　 Brides tended to buy a wedding dress that could be worn again,or they simply wore the best dress they already owned.And white is not practical: it is difficult to keep clean and is therefore not ideal for many situations or for repeated wear. Many brides chose to wear dresses of other colors for their wedding and beyond.18.　　　 They do so largely thanks to a trend that started with Queen Victoria’s 1840 wedding to Prince Albert. 19.　　　 Although not in as many different media as we have now,they still had a tendency to be trendsetting.So Victoria chose to wear a white gown (女礼服)-reportedly to show off the fine detailed Honiton lace produced by the British lace industry,which was depressed at the time.Her fashion choice was widely reported in newspapers and magazines.20.　　　 Eventually,the trend of a white wedding gown spread across all economic levels and it was strengthened as a “tradition” in the 20th century. A.So why do so many of today’s brides wear white?B.But why are brides so particular about their dresses?C.Royal weddings in those years received a lot of reporting.D.It reflected the growth of the wedding industry at that time.E.It soon influenced domestic and international wedding trends.F.In fact,other colors were chosen far more frequently than white.G.This was for reasons of being practical as much as anything else.第二部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。An act of kindness doesn’t have to be a grand

looked out at the smiling faces packed into the school hall.Flashes from cameras lit up in all directions.The applause filled my ears.I had done it.I had really done it.Just a few months earlier,I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two hundred people.“Not for a million dollars,” I would have said.But when the time came,I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears—and discovered I could do more than I ever gave myself credit for.I found a new person inside me,a much more daring,outgoing person who had been hidden all along,just waiting for the opportunity to appear.If not for my teacher,Mrs. Sather,I might never have found that opportunity.In the first and second grade,I was extremely shy.I had friends,but it just wasn’t in my personality to be very outgoing,even when I knew someone well.I was afraid I would do or say something wrong,so usually I just smiled and listened to other people’s conversations.I did well in school and I loved to write.However,I would escape into my writing,where I could be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me.In my stories,I was never shy.My teacher,Mrs. Sather,always encouraged me to write more.She told our class to go after our dreams and dig in with both hands.I think she was one of the first people to see my inner strength.One day,she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written.“I’ll begin to cast everyone tomorrow,” she said.“I need someone who is not afraid to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy.Anybody want to try?” A few excited hands shot up—mine,of course,was not one of them—and Mrs. Sather smiled.“We’ll talk more about it tomorrow,” she said.Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom.注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式作答。Paragraph 1:　　When I was loading up my backpack,Mrs. Sather asked me to go to her.                 Paragraph 2:　　Hearing Mrs. Sather’s words,I realized it was time to make a change.
