While Romano’s classmates were beginning their college life, the 19-year-old Croatian young man had different dreams. In Croatia, taking a gap year is not as common as in other countries, but Romano decided to take a break for a year or two after high school and try volunteering in Africa.
Upon arrival in Arusha, Tanzania, Romano found a volunteering project through an organization. Now he helps poor children and teaches them English and math. These children are not abandoned. They come from low-income families and any help is welcome. There is no soap or running water in the school, and to learn English, the children depend on volunteers because there are not enough qualified teachers.
“They don’t have much, they are poor, but honest and happy, because they are not aware that there may be something better out there for them. As I was lecturing, I saw the materials they used for learning: worn-out pencils, one eraser for 20 children, torn and printed notebooks, and not to mention clothes and shoes. I will only tell you that uniforms are worn to conceal（掩饰） their clothing and thus to mask material inequality,” says Romano, who was therefore encouraged to launch a charity action to collect donations for children’s necessities.
Romano believes that every child has the right to the basics, including education. It is for this reason that he wants to help these little ones. “Now I realize how privileged I am in life just because I was born on another continent. I learned to appreciate more what I have and manage without the basics. As a result, I met a different culture, tested my limits and looked at things from a different perspective — a gratitude perspective,” concludes Romano, hoping that little by little, both he and other volunteers will contribute to positive change through their work.
51. According to the text, what is the education like in Croatia?
A. Before going to university, Croatian students must have dreams.
B. The students have to take a year or two off after high school.
C. Taking a gap year is a common occurrence in Croatia.
D. It is not allowed to take a gap year during school in general.
52. Why did Romano come to Arusha?
A. To prepare for his college life.
B. To help children there as a volunteer.
C. To earn money as a part-time teacher.
D. To promote an educational program.
53. What do we know about the children that Romano teaches?
A. They are too poor to be happy.
B. They all have an incomplete family.
C. They have no local English teachers.
D. They know little about the outside world.
54. What does the underlined word “mask” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Hide.
B. Reduce.
D. Remove.
C. Create.
55. What did Romano learn from his experience?
A. All children should have access to higher education.
B. All children should try their best to go to colleges.
C. He should treasure more his life and feel grateful.
D. He should work hard in college to be more powerful.
B
Crosstalk, a traditional form of comic storytelling, is making a comeback in China’s tea houses and theaters.
Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin, entertained by the apprentices（徒弟） of Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan — all leading crosstalk artists of years past — for only 20 yuan.
The success in Tianjin has also caused the rejuvenation（复活） of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.
Although the art form originated in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty (1644 — 1911), Tianjin became a place where rising stars formed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was well-known nationwide for the quality of its crosstalk performances.
Known in Chinese as xiangsheng (literally, “face and voice”), crosstalk was the chief form of comedy throughout most of the 20th century. In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere, temple fairs and markets were the main places for crosstalkers to perform, although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses or theaters.
Crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture, from history and folk tales to social issues of the time. Although there are hundreds of traditional pieces, they’re constantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well. It’s one of the features that have made crosstalk a public art form throughout its history.
“Crosstalk was in the doldrums（萎靡不振） with competition from other art forms, especially TV,” said Wang Xiaochun, headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China (NSAS). “But it has regained its status with crosstalk fans, especially young people, growing aware of its rare qualities.”
“More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students,” said Wang. “We’re sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.”
56. What does crosstalk mean in Chinese?
A. Storytelling.
B. Face and voice.
C. Folk tale.
D. Dialogue.
57. What can we learn about crosstalk from the text?
A. Crosstalk didn’t appear until the Qing Dynasty.
B. Crosstalk first arose in Tianjin.
C. Crosstalk was mainly performed at teahouses in the past.
D. Crosstalk was the most popular art form in the 20th century.
58. Why has crosstalk been a public art form?
A. It is a popular traditional art after all.
B. The pieces contain some famous folk tales.
C. The crosstalkers make it return to teahouses.
D. The pieces are adapted to suit the times and the audience.
59. We can learn that the future of crosstalk first lies in ____________.
A. setting up more storytelling art schools
B. beating TV and other arts
C. young people’s understanding of its value
D. a strong market
60. What is Wang Xiaochun’s attitude towards the future of crosstalk?
A. Negative.
B. Doubtful.
C. Optimistic.
D. Cautious.
C
Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. Its extreme use can be compared to the use of drugs, which is called Plug-in Heroin.
The next time you’re in a crowded public place, look at the people around you. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous that someone is that addicted to such a small object. I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end（不知所措）if their phone or iPad has been taken away, lost or left at home.
Some people may ask, “What’s wrong with technology use? It’s a way for people to communicate.” While this is true, the overuse of technology isn’t always appropriate in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of cell phones, iPads and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces have signs hanging on their walls warning employees that“Cell phone use is not permitted ”or “Cell phones are forbidden.”
Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others. However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred（转存） to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the internet. With this growing trend, future generations are bound to become even more addicted to technology.
Is there a cure for electronic addiction? Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely rid electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self control.
61. What is Plug-in Heroin?
A. The growing popularity of electronics.
B. The serious consequences of technology use.
C. The unreasonable dependence on electronics.
D. The future possibility of technology development.
62. The second paragraph is intended to __________.
A. show people’s addiction to electronics
B. persuade people to quit electronics
C. prove electronics are harmful to people
D. tell people it is ridiculous to use electronics
63. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. Cell phones can be used in all kinds of work situations.
B. Overuse of electronic products should be limited.
C. Cell phones and iPads can be freely applied in schools.
D. There’s nothing wrong with using technology, because it's the only way people communicate.
64. Why is it difficult to avoid electronics nowadays?
A. Fewer choices are left for communication.
B. The design of paper books is less interesting.
C. It is a must to use electronics to keep in touch.
D. Too many things are available in electronic forms.
65. In the author's opinion, what is the best way to cure electronic addiction?
A. Turn off the electronics for an hour or two.
B. Be stricter about the use of cell phones, iPads and other electronics in classrooms..
C. Learn to control yourself.
D. Cell phones are forbidden in the workplaces.

第III卷 非选择题 （满分30分）
第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分30分)
第一节 阅读表达（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Personal growth doesn't necessarily only happen when the conditions are perfect. Seeds tend to develop only when conditions are right. A seed will remain dormant （休眠）until moisture（湿度） and temperature are favorable for growth. Unfortunately, as humans, we don't always have the luxury of growing when conditions are just right. Sometimes you must cultivate personal growth and flower where you're planted, often in spite of external circumstances.
For much of my life, I let external circumstances control my happiness. If things weren't going well, then I wasn't well. I told myself that I would be happier if conditions were right. With this mindset, I gave myself permission to stay emotionally dormant. I was waiting for things around me to change before I would do the work to become a better version of myself. In other words, I made my personal growth conditional on external circumstances.
The problem with waiting for change outside of yourself is that you might have to wait a very long time, maybe even forever. And if you stay dormant while waiting, you aren't growing. You're simply stuck in place. You certainly aren't becoming the better version of yourself that you want to be.
If you want to engage in personal growth, like planting seeds, you have to do some work to make it happen. You can't wait around for everything to fall into place. Start with pulling up your emotional weeds. Examine yourself and remove the pessimistic thoughts and behaviors that are holding you back. Then, work on the foundation that you have. Practice positive life habits that build your self-respect and happiness.
Personal growth is something you can fight for. It may not come naturally, but when you develop this mindset, you will flower no matter where you're planted.

66. What does the underlined word “cultivate” in paragraph 1 probably mean? (1 word)
67. What affected the author's growth most in the past? (no more than 3 words)
68. What does the author suggest you do if you want to engage in personal growth? (no more than 10 words)
69. What does the passage mainly talk about? (no more than 15 words)
70. What do you think is the most important in personal growth? Why? (no more than 20 words)

Dear teachers and classmates，
As the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China is approaching, I want to describe my hometown.
My hometown, with the help of the people of Binhai New Area, has shaken off poverty. Great changes have taken place in our countryside. Not only have the houses been painted and strengthened, but the streets have been leveled and widened. The whole village is surrounded by trees, flowers and plants, like a beautiful park.
People's quality of life has been greatly improved. After labour, they have rich recreational activities, such as horse racing, wrestling and watching Tibetan Opera. Traditions of wearing masks are still adopted today, adding mystery and uniqueness in art value to Tibetan Opera. When we get together, we are happy.
As a senior high school student, I am fortunate to be a member of Binhai New Area. I will study hard, develop in an all-round way, and make my own contribution to the realization of China dream！
Thank you!

W: Jack… close the window in the bathroom- the wind’s getting really strong.
M: Done. Honestly, we seem to have had a whole year's weather in one day today.
W: I know- this morning I could hardly see across the road because of the thick dark clouds.
M: Yeah, but at lunchtime I sat in the park enjoying the sun. Then on the way home from work I got caught in the rain and sat on the bus feeling very wet and poor.
W: And now we've got this. England in April — how lovely！

W: Have you got everything that you need for the meeting? You don't want a repeat of what happened last time when you went off without your notebook computer. Have you got your passport and your credit cards?
M: Yes, yes, please stop now. I will probably arrive late in the afternoon but then we will be straight into a meeting so I won't be able to get in touch till last thing. So, don't worry if you don't hear from me till late.
W: I don't mind how late it is, dear, as long as you phone. Don't play with all your friends too late and forget. By the way, will you see Matt, your classmate in university?
M: Yes. The next day after the meeting, he will show me around the city.

Well, in the first photo, there's a group of children, five boys and six girls, playing football together in the park. They seem to be enjoying themselves, and it seems that they won't mind what the score will be at all. I think they benefit from this activity in several ways. First, they're getting some exercise, which is always good for them because it's great for health and helps to relax. At the same time, they’re having fun together, which is important because it builds up their social relationships and their friendships. Also, it is good for boys and girls to do a bit of sports together, because I think playing sports is about having fun with everyone and winning is not the only thing. In the second photo, there are four girls talking together in a cafe and laughing. They aren't so active as the children in the first photo because they’re not doing a sport, but they are communicating more and share their ideas and experiences. I think they also benefit because they can talk about their problems, relax and also enjoy their friendships. All in all, I think they get a lot from both activities.
