M:Excuse me.How much is this suit?

M:Wow,that is pretty expensive! I was thinking that it might be four or five hundred.
W:This material is imported from Italy.It’s the finest in the world,and if you bought a suit made of this material at many department stores,you would pay about two thousand dollars.
M:Uh-huh...but isn’t that the point of coming to a market like this,to get a discount compared to the expensive department stores? Besides,I saw a suit just like this one a few stalls down,and they were selling it for $600.I still thought that was too expensive.
W:It’s possible that the suit you saw was the same color as this one but made of a different material.Unfortunately,our prices are final,and we think they’re the lowest anywhere in the city.
M:Could I try it on first?
W:Of course,sir.The dressing room is down there to your left.

M:Great.I’ll be back in a minute...So,how do I look?
W:You look very handsome,sir.This suit is made for you!
M:Thank you.I like it very much.It fits perfectly,and the style will never go out of fashion.The only thing is that I still think it is a bit too expensive.Couldn’t you lower the price by just a little?

Good evening to you,and a good evening it is! In fact,it’s absolutely beautiful outside.Of course,it’s all due to the winds of March! Yes,if you were outside around 2:00 p.m.,you were probably blown right off your feet.We had wind this afternoon that was blowing at 50 mph! You could see large umbrellas from food carts rolling down the sidewalks—a few of them blew right into traffic and caused a few accidents.Fortunately,though,the wind died down to a more reasonable 15 mph by 4:30 p.m.
Now,the forecast for tonight is for the temperature to stay around 60 degrees Fahrenheit with a light breeze—just enough for a light sweater.It should be a clear night,great for all you astronomers and star gazers.Enjoy it while you can because the clouds will begin to roll in again tomorrow,and they will be staying for a while.
Yes,for the next three days,you can expect clouds,the daytime temperature to drop to around 50,and a 90 percent chance of light rain on and off throughout the day.The temperature at night will be about 36-40 degrees,so you should expect some frost in the early mornings.Well,that’s all.Go out there and enjoy a lovely,warm,star-filled evening tonight.Tomorrow,take your raincoat and umbrella as you head out the door!

My First Marathon(马拉松)
A month before my first marathon,one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks,leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet,I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.class,the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn’t do either well.He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s,I realized running was a battle against myself,not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
The night before my marathon,I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous,but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line,my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3,I passed a sign:“GO FOR IT,RUNNERS!”
By mile 17,I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain,I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21,I was starving!
As I approached mile 23,I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal.In fact,I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself,move forward,free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签),I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.

The history of Teachers’ Day traces back to the Han Dynasty(206 BC—220 AD).According to the record,during the Han and Jin dynasties,on August 27 each year,the birthday of Confucius,the emperor would go to the Confucius’ temple and pay tribute(敬意)to the ancient philosopher followed by court officials,and would also invite royal teachers to the imperial court for a banquet.On this day,teachers around the nation enjoyed a day’s vacation and were given dried meat as gifts.
The capital,all states and counties would also hold ceremonies to worship Confucius.Excellent performing teachers would be chosen from academies and learning institutions nationwide,reporting to the royal court and given 500 liang(两) silver coins as awards.
Until the Qing Dynasty,the ceremony,on August 27,was of a larger scale.The teachers’ salaries in schools and academies around the nation were raised,and well-performing teachers would be awarded official titles or promoted to higher positions.
Normally,an ancient teacher’s income included salary,accommodation and festival gifts.There was no fixed tuition fee.Generally the parents paid teachers according to their household income.Both money and basic foodstuff could be paid in exchange for tuition.
In private schools,teachers always received money or gifts from the host family at certain festivals or at the beginning and end of each semester.
The festivals in which teachers received gifts varied from region to region,while the most valued ones were the Duanwu,Mid-Autumn and Chinese New Year festivals,as well as Confucius’ birthday and the private tutor’s birthday.
Among all the gift-giving festivals,the first meeting gift was a must.When students met their private tutors for the first time,they had to kneel down to Confucius’ spirit tablet and then to their private tutors,before presenting a “gift”.

(2017四川成都第一次诊断性检测)
Lucy,whose skeleton(骨骼) was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974,died shortly after she fell out of a tree,according to a new study published Monday in the British journal Nature.
For their research,Kappelman and Dr.Richard Ketcham used a CT scanner to create more than 35,000 “slices” of Lucy’s skeleton.Scientists named her Lucy from the Beatles’ song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”,which was played at the camp the night of her discovery.
The following analysis of the slices showed sharp,clean breaks seen at the end of Lucy’s right humerus(肱骨) are similar to bone breaks seen in victims of falls.
The researchers concluded that these and other breaks in her skeleton show that Lucy,who is believed to have stood about 3 feet 6 inches and weighed about 60 pounds,fell feet first and used her arms to support herself but the injury was too severe to have been survivable.
The researchers estimate that Lucy was going about 35 miles an hour when she hit the ground after falling from a height of roughly 40 feet,according to the statement.
That sounds plausible.But other scientists are doubtful.“There are countless explanations for bone breaks,”Dr.Donald C.Johanson,director of the Institute of Human Origins and one of the scientists who discovered Lucy,said,“The suggestion that she fell out of a tree is largely a just-so story and therefore unprovable.”
Johanson said it was more likely that Lucy’s breaks occurred long after she died,saying that elephant bones appear to have the same kind of breaks.It’s unlikely they fell out of a tree.
But the new research focused on a small number of breaks that are consistent with high-energy bone-to-bone influences and which differ from the sorts of breaks commonly seen in other collected bones.Kappelman responded in an email,“These appear to have occurred at or near the time of death.”
【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。科学家从一名女尸破碎的骨骼上推断出这位被命名为Lucy的女子是从树上跌落致死的,但是其他科学家有不同的观点,他们认为骨骼破碎的原因有很多。
32.What can we know about Lucy from Kappelman and Dr.Richard Ketcham’s research?
A.She got her name from a band.
B.She had more than 35,000 slices.
C.She couldn’t use her arms properly.
D.She made an effort to save herself.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“...fell feet first and used her arms to support herself but the injury was too severe to have been survivable.”可知,她试图用胳膊撑起自己,但是伤势太重;据此可知,她曾经努力救过自己,故D项正确。根据第二段的第二句可知,Lucy这个名字是来源于一首歌,并非乐队,故A项错误;根据第二段的第一句可知B项错误;根据第四段可知,她企图用胳膊支撑自己,故C项错误。
33.What does the underlined word “plausible” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Reasonable. B.Creative.
C.Surprising. D.Unbelievable.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。画线词所在句的上文说,Lucy从大约40英尺的树上以大约每小时35英里的速度跌落;结合画线词所在句的下文“But other scientists are doubtful.”可知此处表转折,意为“但是其他科学家怀疑这个说法”。据此可以判断,画线句意为“那听起来有道理”,故A项正确。
34.Which of the following would Johanson probably agree?
A.Elephants are unlikely to die from falling.
B.Lucy got breaks at or near the time of death.
C.Other reasons for the breaks should be considered.
D.Lucy’s bone breaks differ from other bone breaks.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第六段中Johanson所说的话“There are countless explanations for bone breaks...”可知,Johanson认为骨头破碎有很多原因;据此可以判断,Johanson认为应当考虑骨头破碎的其他原因,故C项正确。
35.What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A.Lucy didn’t die from falling out of a tree.
B.The newly published study was meaningless.
C.The argument on how Lucy died will continue.
D.Scientists will find another way to solve the problem.
答案C
解析推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章第二至五段讲述Kappelman和Richard Ketcham两位科学家的研究结论;第六至七段陈述科学家Johanson的不同推论;文章最后一段又提出新的发现。据此可以判断,对于Lucy死亡的原因,争论将继续,故C项正确。

Choosing the right college for you is not so easy.You should have a general idea of what you want and don’t want.The idea can guide you to find what fits your needs best.　36　 
Think about what major you want to study in college.If you know that,just look at colleges that have your major.　37　 So think carefully about your major and interests before choosing one. 
Where the college is located matters.Anyone who tells you the location isn’t important is lying.　38　 If you look forward to working in the publishing industry,New York may be your best bet.If your parents want you to stay close to home,please don’t consider anywhere that requires a plane ticket to get to. 
Think about how much you can afford.Are your parents paying for your education?If so,how much are they willing to spend?Do you have to contribute anything?Financial aid and scholarship exist,but don’t count on anything.　39　 These are all things to consider before you fall in love with a college. 
Make sure you’re going to spend time with the right people.The cool thing about college is that each different one attracts different kinds of people.For the first thing in your life,you get to choose where you get to spend your time and who you get to spend it with.　40　 Make sure that the people you’re with for four years are your kind of people. 
A.College is about learning what you love.
B.You’d better choose a major that is popular.
C.Go to the college with some people you like.
D.Are you willing to go into major debt over a school?

答案与解析
【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了关于如何选择大学的几点建议。

38.F　根据本段首句“Where the college is located matters.”可知,大学所在地的选择很重要,所以选F项。

Most of you no 　44　 have seen these tugs pushing and pulling at the big liners.What they are doing doesn’t seem to make much 　45　,as the minute the big boat is alongside the port,her heavy rope made fast,the job is 　46　. 
I felt very 　47　 after I had docked several of the large liners.I realized I was in 　48　 of a great ship worth millions of dollars and the 　49　 were depending on me to bring her safely to the port.These tugs,whether one or ten,　50　 about in accord with(与……一致) whistle signals I 　51　 them from the bridge of the big liner.These signals make up a language that is just as 　52　 as the spoken word,or even more so,　53　 our docking signals are hardly misunderstood.The captain of each tug does his work according to the signals he 　54　.He never asks questions.He takes 　55　 faithfully,and it 　56　 works out. 
Working around tugboats,where so much depends on 　57　,has had its effect on what I believe.I believe that if I am to attain a(n) 　58　 place in the world I must have the help of my fellow men just as the great transatlantic(横越大西洋的) liners depend on the 　59　 of the little tugs to bring them safely to the 　60　.

答案与解析
【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了MEP对英国人学习普通话的调查和MEP的目标。
61.useful　考查形容词。修饰名词一般用形容词,故用形容词useful修饰名词language,且与最高级the most呼应。
62.to　考查介词。open one’s mind to...是固定词组,意为“(使人)思想开阔”,故用介词to。
63.which　考查定语从句。which引导非限定性定语从句,在从句中做主语,指代先行词Arabic and Japanese。
64.were　考查动词时态和主谓一致。根据主语adults及上文的“were gained”可知,此处应用一般过去时的复数形式。
65.conducted　考查非谓语动词。conduct和句子谓语之间没有连词,故用非谓语动词,且和其逻辑主语survey构成动宾关系,与介词by呼应,故用过去分词做后置定语。
66.to learn　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处做定语,修饰逻辑主语“French,Spanish and German”。
67.becoming　考查with的复合结构。此处为with的复合结构,become和the global economy构成逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词形式。
68.languages　考查名词复数。根据one of可知,此处名词应用复数形式,即languages。
69.successfully　考查副词。修饰动词一般用副词,故用副词successfully修饰动词work,在句子中做状语。
70.a　考查冠词。a/an+形容词+understanding of...为固定词组,意为“对……有着……的理解”,故此处用不定冠词。
