Hello，everyone.Today we’ll talk about American festivals.Like all nations，the United States has many festivals.The most famous must be Christmas，which is a Christian festival celebrated all over the world now.Besides，all Americans enjoy the national holidays of Thanksgiving，Independence Day and Labor Day.Thanksgiving，the fourth Thursday in November，celebrates the first harvest of the original European settlers back in 1621，and president Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863.Independence Day is the celebration of America’s independence from the British in 1776.Americans set off fireworks at outdoor picnics and barbecues so as to celebrate the event.Labor Day，the first Monday in September，honors the workers of the land.Like Independence Day，Labor Day is a time for outdoor picnics and barbecues，and it marks the end of the summer season.Celebrations of other nation’s historic days are quite common in America.An example of one holiday is Cinco de Mayo.It celebrates Mexican independence from French in 1862.People hold parades and outdoor fairs in cities to show rich Mexican culture.
第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The blooming of social media and interactive smartphonebased apps has proved that emarketing is an unchangeable trend.In the case of China，the latest battlefield is beauty camera apps，which have become an overnight hit in the West.
1．MeituPic
Developed by the Xiamenbased Meitu Inc，MeituPic is the company’s flagship beauty camera app and was the first to become a big hit among Western users.The app has drawn some 456 million users，who use it to post more than 6 billion photos every month.
In addition to MeituPic，Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps such as Beauty Plus，Poster Labs and Meipai，each specializing in facial feature improvement，video editing and many other features.
2．Pitu
Tian Tian Pi Tu，is a beauty app developed by China’s Internet giant Tencent.Similar to other photoediting apps，Pitu offers a number of beautifying filters，blemish(瑕疵) removing tools and virtual makeup choices for users to choose from.
Launched in 2014，Pitu has accumulated 106 million monthly active users (MAUs)．While the number is not as impressive as that of Meitu’s apps，some argue that the user base of Tencent’s gaming products and chat applications，such as QQ and WeChat，gives Pitu great potential for further growth.According to Chinese app watchers，Pitu’s target audience is younger and more individualized than that of MeituPic.80 percent of Pitu’s users are younger than 25，giving the app more room to try out more new features.
3．FaceU
In contrast with most other beauty apps，FaceU，focuses more on the social feature，encouraging users to video chat with friends and even strangers while playing with its fun stickers(贴纸)—and the strategy is undoubtedly working.Launched in 2016，the app，which mainly targets female users between 15 and 35，has twice made it onto the Apple store’s Chart for top apps.
21．Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps EXCEPT .
A．Meipai B．MeituPic
C．Tian Tian Pi Tu D．Beauty Plus
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In addition to MeituPic，Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps such as Beauty Plus，Poster Labs and Meipai” 可知选C。
22．What gives Tian Tian Pi Tu more room to grow potentially?
A．The amount of Meitu Apps’ potential users.
B．Users of Tencent’s gaming products and chat apps.
C．The various kinds of photoediting functions.
D．The room to try out more new features.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“...some argue that the user base of Tencent’s gaming products and chat applications，such as QQ and WeChat，gives Pitu great potential for further growth.”可知，是腾讯的一些游戏应用和聊天软件的用户群给了它进一步增长的潜力。
23．According to the passage，what do the three apps have in common?
A．They mainly target young users.
B．They all launched in 2016.
C．They specialize in photo editing.
D．They are popular and hot.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The app has drawn some 456 million users”和第五段中的“Launched in 2014，Pitu has accumulated 106 million monthly active users (MAUs)．”以及最后一段中的“Launched in 2016，the app...has twice made it onto the Apple store’s Chart for top apps.”可知，这三款app的共同点是“受欢迎的和热门的”。
B
The idea of robot rulers，friends and lovers has been a topic of science fiction novels for years.
But according to one mathematical model of how our brains create consciousness， machines will never exist.
“This is because computers can’t handle any process that completely integrates(整合) information，so they cannot be conscious or feel，”one expert says.
A mathematical model for consciousness，developed by Giulio Tononi at the University of WisconsinMadison，says that the ability to integrate information is a key feature of consciousness.
He believes that integrated information can’t be broken down into smaller pieces in conscious minds，because the brain contextualizes(将……置于背景中考虑) information.
For example，when we see a red circle our brains don’t see the shape as a colourless circle plus a shapeless coloured area，New Scientist reported.Instead we see it as a whole—a red circle；we understand the “wider picture”．
It’s easy enough for machines to edit a collection of individual images(图像)，but memories are made up of a bank of intertwined(相互交织的) images and experiences and cannot be changed in the same way.
Researchers have used mathematics to show that computers cannot handle the complex processes needed to fit pieces of information together perfectly.
Therefore，if consciousness is based on the integration of lots of pieces of information，computers can’t be conscious and can’t experience like humans.
Professor Phil Maguire of the National University of Ireland in Maynooth says that consciousness cannot be created in a physical machine in limited time using limited memory.
“It doesn’t necessarily mean that there is some magic going on in the brain that involves some forces that can’t be explained physically.It is just so complex that it’s beyond our abilities to change it，” he said.
His research may mean that lonely humans will not find love with a robot；they are unlikely to be made their slaves either.
24．Why do experts think emotional machines won’t exist?
A．Machines can’t solve problems.
B．Machines can’t handle information.
C．Machines can’t integrate information.
D．Machines can’t communicate with people.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。由第三段中的“computers can’t handle any process that completely integrates(整合) information”和第四段中的“the ability to integrate information is a key feature of consciousness”可知，计算机没有整合信息的能力，所以没有意识。
25．The example mentioned in Paragraph 6 is used to show that .
A．machines cannot feel
B．the brain has consciousness
C．the brain can contextualize information
D．machines can recognize shapes and colours
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。由第五、六段的描述可知，大脑可以整合信息，第六段举例来说明这一论点。
26．It can be learned from the text that .
A．machines can edit intertwined images
B．the idea of robot lovers won’t come true
C．robots can fit pieces of information together perfectly
D．computers can experience emotions like humans one day
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。由最后一段可知，人类不可能找到机器人爱人。
27．What would be the best title for the text?
A．How do Robots Work?
B．Robots Will Never Have Feelings
C．Will Robots Become People’s Friends?
D．What Will Robots Be Like in the Future?
答案 B
解析 标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了数学模型表明机器人不会像人类一样有情感体验，也就是说，机器人是永远不会有感情的，故B项作标题最能概括文章主旨。
C
My friend Tim was one of five children.His father was an alcoholic and died very young，and his mother was unable to support the family.Unfortunately，the children were separated and placed in foster homes(收养家庭)．

Both brothers gave a similar answer when asked why their lives turned out the way they did.They said，“You’d turn out this way too if you had a childhood like mine.” Neither of the brothers could change his past，but one of them adjusted(调整) his sail.

If you really desire to turn your life to a new course，to set your sail to a different port，it is a matter of choice.If you choose to move forward，the easiest way is to find a solution to your today’s situation.Solutions are there if you want to go after them.Sure，it may take some hard work，or the willingness to take a risk.But if you do not，then you will never have a different or happy life.Do not limit yourself by finding an excuse；only limit yourself by refusing to have an excuse.

B．failed because he lived in the wrong city

解析 推理判断题。由第四段最后两句“Each one of these excuses has a solution.However，if you believe that there is nothing you can do to turn your life around，then you won’t be able to change your life for the better.”可知，作者认为蒂姆本来是可以改变自己的人生的。
31．What is the best title for the text?
A．Adjust Your Sail
B．Say “No” to Excuses
C．Move Towards a Happy Family
D．How We Live Our Life is a Choice

The London Eye，formerly known as the Millennium Wheel，is on the South Bank of the River Thames.At an overall height of 135 meters，the London Eye was the world’s tallest Ferris wheel from 1999，when it was built，until 2006，when it was surpassed(超过) by the Star of Nanchang，in Nanchang，China.It is one of London’s most popular tourist attractions.
What is now called the London Eye originated as a work sent by David Marks and Julia Barfield of Marks Barfield Architects in 1993 to a competition.The competition is supported by The Sunday Times and Great Britain’s Architecture Foundation，for a new landmark in memory of the millennium(千禧年) in London.Although no winner was declared，Marks and Barfield carried out the development of the project themselves and found the site where the wheel now stands.Most of the money was provided by British Airways.
Construction began in 1998，and the wheel was put together over the river before being pulled up.The London Eye was ceremonially “opened”by Prime Minister Tony Blair on December 31,1999，but didn’t admit its first paying passenger until March 9,2000.Originally scheduled to be taken apart after five years，it was kept in place because of continued popularity.In 2006 an LED lighting system was installed in order to make the wheel more noticeable after dark.
The wheel rests on two supports，which are fixed firmly to a foundation on the riverbank and lean(倾斜) out over the river at an angle of 65°.The power to turn the wheel is sent through rubber tires that are placed on the base of the structure.Placed on the wheel are 32 eggshaped “capsules”，as the cabins that carry the passengers are called.Their number agrees with the 32 boroughs(自治市) that (together with the City of London) make up Greater London.Each capsule can hold as many as 25 passengers.The wheel moves so slowly—two circles per hour—that it needn’t stop for passengers to get on or off，except for those with disabilities.
32.When was the London Eye the tallest Ferris wheel in the world?
A．In 1993. B．In 1998.
C．In 2004. D．In 2016.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“...was the world’s tallest Ferris wheel from 1999...until 2006...”可知，伦敦眼在1999年至2006年期间是世界上最大的摩天轮，由此可判断2004年正确。
33．Why did Marks and Barfield design the London Eye?
A．To compete for a prize.
B．To memorialize the start of their business.
C．To attract more visitors to the River Thames.
D．To realize their dream of riding on a Ferris wheel.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“What is now called the London Eye originated as a work...to a competition.”可推断，Marks和Barfield设计伦敦眼是为了参赛获奖。
34．What happened to the London Eye in 2006?
A．It leant out more than 65°.
B．It was officially open to the public.
C．It was decorated with brighter lighting.
D．It faced the threat of being taken apart.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“In 2006 an LED lighting system was installed...”可知，2006年伦敦眼装上了更明亮的照明系统。
35．What does the last paragraph imply?
A．Greater London consists of 32 cities.
B．The London Eye spends an hour spinning around once.
C．Disabled people are forbidden to get on the London Eye.
D．The London Eye can hold eight hundred passengers at most.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“32 eggshaped ‘capsules’”和“Each capsule can hold as many as 25 passengers.”可推断，伦敦眼最多能容纳八百名乘客。

第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
When a student cuts class，fails to prepare for class or do homework，or is unable to answer even simple questions about the topic being studied in class，it is clear that the student is not learning well，and teachers may wonder why.One of the causes might be language anxiety.Language anxiety is a fear occurring when a learner is expected to perform in the foreign language.That is，when a student is asked to perform in the target language in class，he is likely to become nervous and fail to do it.
The good news is that so far some research has suggested language anxiety can make students focused，get good grades and build up high selfconfidence.Despite these benefits，most research has also shown a negative relationship between language anxiety and performance.The negative kind of anxiety harms learners’ performance in many ways.As time goes by，they will doubt themselves，refuse to join in discussions and try to avoid using the language.
Teachers and researchers might sometimes be able to judge language anxiety through measuring scales(评价标准)．There are a number of scales，the best known of which is called the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale or FLCAS.The FLCAS was developed to measure the specific anxiety reaction of a student to a foreign language situation.However，this is not recommended because researchers consider that language anxiety is observable in class.
To help students to deal more effectively with language anxiety，teachers are advised to allow students to perform differently according to their own abilities.More importantly，teachers ought to provide various opportunities for classroom success in the language.In this way，students can be freed from the pain of severe language anxiety.Gradually they will become more and more confident of their language abilities and eventually experience what it means to succeed in the language classroom.
参考范文
When using a foreign language in class，learners may experience language anxiety.(要点1)Research has shown that it does more harm to learners in many aspects in spite of its benefits.(要点2)To its credit，language anxiety can be observed without the use of scales/FLCAS.(要点3)Therefore，teachers should welcome different performance and attach more importance to offering chances for students to feel successful.(要点4)

Hello，everyone.Today we’ll talk about American festivals.Like all nations，the United States has many festivals.The most famous must be Christmas，which is a Christian festival celebrated all over the world now.Besides，all Americans enjoy the national holidays of Thanksgiving，Independence Day and Labor Day.Thanksgiving，the fourth Thursday in November，celebrates the first harvest of the original European settlers back in 1621，and president Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863.Independence Day is the celebration of America’s independence from the British in 1776.Americans set off fireworks at outdoor picnics and barbecues so as to celebrate the event.Labor Day，the first Monday in September，honors the workers of the land.Like Independence Day，Labor Day is a time for outdoor picnics and barbecues，and it marks the end of the summer season.Celebrations of other nation’s historic days are quite common in America.An example of one holiday is Cinco de Mayo.It celebrates Mexican independence from French in 1862.People hold parades and outdoor fairs in cities to show rich Mexican culture.
第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The blooming of social media and interactive smartphonebased apps has proved that emarketing is an unchangeable trend.In the case of China，the latest battlefield is beauty camera apps，which have become an overnight hit in the West.
1．MeituPic
Developed by the Xiamenbased Meitu Inc，MeituPic is the company’s flagship beauty camera app and was the first to become a big hit among Western users.The app has drawn some 456 million users，who use it to post more than 6 billion photos every month.
In addition to MeituPic，Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps such as Beauty Plus，Poster Labs and Meipai，each specializing in facial feature improvement，video editing and many other features.
2．Pitu
Tian Tian Pi Tu，is a beauty app developed by China’s Internet giant Tencent.Similar to other photoediting apps，Pitu offers a number of beautifying filters，blemish(瑕疵) removing tools and virtual makeup choices for users to choose from.
Launched in 2014，Pitu has accumulated 106 million monthly active users (MAUs)．While the number is not as impressive as that of Meitu’s apps，some argue that the user base of Tencent’s gaming products and chat applications，such as QQ and WeChat，gives Pitu great potential for further growth.According to Chinese app watchers，Pitu’s target audience is younger and more individualized than that of MeituPic.80 percent of Pitu’s users are younger than 25，giving the app more room to try out more new features.
3．FaceU
In contrast with most other beauty apps，FaceU，focuses more on the social feature，encouraging users to video chat with friends and even strangers while playing with its fun stickers(贴纸)—and the strategy is undoubtedly working.Launched in 2016，the app，which mainly targets female users between 15 and 35，has twice made it onto the Apple store’s Chart for top apps.
21．Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps EXCEPT .
A．Meipai B．MeituPic
C．Tian Tian Pi Tu D．Beauty Plus
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In addition to MeituPic，Meitu Inc has developed a series of beauty camera apps such as Beauty Plus，Poster Labs and Meipai” 可知选C。
22．What gives Tian Tian Pi Tu more room to grow potentially?
A．The amount of Meitu Apps’ potential users.
B．Users of Tencent’s gaming products and chat apps.
C．The various kinds of photoediting functions.
D．The room to try out more new features.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“...some argue that the user base of Tencent’s gaming products and chat applications，such as QQ and WeChat，gives Pitu great potential for further growth.”可知，是腾讯的一些游戏应用和聊天软件的用户群给了它进一步增长的潜力。
23．According to the passage，what do the three apps have in common?
A．They mainly target young users.
B．They all launched in 2016.
C．They specialize in photo editing.
D．They are popular and hot.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The app has drawn some 456 million users”和第五段中的“Launched in 2014，Pitu has accumulated 106 million monthly active users (MAUs)．”以及最后一段中的“Launched in 2016，the app...has twice made it onto the Apple store’s Chart for top apps.”可知，这三款app的共同点是“受欢迎的和热门的”。
B
The idea of robot rulers，friends and lovers has been a topic of science fiction novels for years.
But according to one mathematical model of how our brains create consciousness， machines will never exist.
“This is because computers can’t handle any process that completely integrates(整合) information，so they cannot be conscious or feel，”one expert says.
A mathematical model for consciousness，developed by Giulio Tononi at the University of WisconsinMadison，says that the ability to integrate information is a key feature of consciousness.
He believes that integrated information can’t be broken down into smaller pieces in conscious minds，because the brain contextualizes(将……置于背景中考虑) information.
For example，when we see a red circle our brains don’t see the shape as a colourless circle plus a shapeless coloured area，New Scientist reported.Instead we see it as a whole—a red circle；we understand the “wider picture”．
It’s easy enough for machines to edit a collection of individual images(图像)，but memories are made up of a bank of intertwined(相互交织的) images and experiences and cannot be changed in the same way.
Researchers have used mathematics to show that computers cannot handle the complex processes needed to fit pieces of information together perfectly.
Therefore，if consciousness is based on the integration of lots of pieces of information，computers can’t be conscious and can’t experience like humans.
Professor Phil Maguire of the National University of Ireland in Maynooth says that consciousness cannot be created in a physical machine in limited time using limited memory.
“It doesn’t necessarily mean that there is some magic going on in the brain that involves some forces that can’t be explained physically.It is just so complex that it’s beyond our abilities to change it，” he said.
His research may mean that lonely humans will not find love with a robot；they are unlikely to be made their slaves either.
24．Why do experts think emotional machines won’t exist?
A．Machines can’t solve problems.
B．Machines can’t handle information.
C．Machines can’t integrate information.
D．Machines can’t communicate with people.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。由第三段中的“computers can’t handle any process that completely integrates(整合) information”和第四段中的“the ability to integrate information is a key feature of consciousness”可知，计算机没有整合信息的能力，所以没有意识。
25．The example mentioned in Paragraph 6 is used to show that .
A．machines cannot feel
B．the brain has consciousness
C．the brain can contextualize information
D．machines can recognize shapes and colours
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。由第五、六段的描述可知，大脑可以整合信息，第六段举例来说明这一论点。
26．It can be learned from the text that .
A．machines can edit intertwined images
B．the idea of robot lovers won’t come true
C．robots can fit pieces of information together perfectly
D．computers can experience emotions like humans one day
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。由最后一段可知，人类不可能找到机器人爱人。
27．What would be the best title for the text?
A．How do Robots Work?
B．Robots Will Never Have Feelings
C．Will Robots Become People’s Friends?
D．What Will Robots Be Like in the Future?
答案 B
解析 标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了数学模型表明机器人不会像人类一样有情感体验，也就是说，机器人是永远不会有感情的，故B项作标题最能概括文章主旨。
C
My friend Tim was one of five children.His father was an alcoholic and died very young，and his mother was unable to support the family.Unfortunately，the children were separated and placed in foster homes(收养家庭)．
Tim dropped out of school and did nothing to further himself.He eventually went through a divorce.Tim’s brother，although experiencing the same childhood， himself and got a good job.He has a happy family and a wonderful home.
Both brothers gave a similar answer when asked why their lives turned out the way they did.They said，“You’d turn out this way too if you had a childhood like mine.” Neither of the brothers could change his past，but one of them adjusted(调整) his sail.
It doesn’t take much to find an excuse whether that is our family background，our lack of ，or that we live in the wrong city，or do not know the right people.Each one of these excuses has a solution.However，if you believe that there is nothing you can do to turn your life around，then you won’t be able to change your life for the better.
If you really desire to turn your life to a new course，to set your sail to a different port，it is a matter of choice.If you choose to move forward，the easiest way is to find a solution to your today’s situation.Solutions are there if you want to go after them.Sure，it may take some hard work，or the willingness to take a risk.But if you do not，then you will never have a different or happy life.Do not limit yourself by finding an excuse；only limit yourself by refusing to have an excuse.
语篇解读 本文为夹叙夹议文。本文主要讲述了蒂姆两兄弟在童年分开，由于选择不同，长大后的生活也不同。文章说明了生活中不要为自己找借口，人生即选择，应该选择积极的生活方式。

A．He had a happy childhood.
B．He tried hard to change his life.
C．He had a wonderful foster home.
D．He was the smartest of his family.

29．What did Tim think led to his unhappy life?
A．His laziness.
B．Not adjusting his sail.
C．His unhappy childhood.
D．Not having any opportunities.

A．really had no chance to improve his life
B．failed because he lived in the wrong city
C．was the most unfortunate man in the world
D．could have changed his life if he had chosen to
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。由第四段最后两句“Each one of these excuses has a solution.However，if you believe that there is nothing you can do to turn your life around，then you won’t be able to change your life for the better.”可知，作者认为蒂姆本来是可以改变自己的人生的。
31．What is the best title for the text?
A．Adjust Your Sail
B．Say “No” to Excuses
C．Move Towards a Happy Family
D．How We Live Our Life is a Choice
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了蒂姆两兄弟在童年分开，由于选择不同，长大后的生活也不同。文章说明了生活中不要为自己找借口，人生即选择，应该选择积极的生活方式。故D项(我们如何生活是一个选择)最适合作本文标题。

The London Eye，formerly known as the Millennium Wheel，is on the South Bank of the River Thames.At an overall height of 135 meters，the London Eye was the world’s tallest Ferris wheel from 1999，when it was built，until 2006，when it was surpassed(超过) by the Star of Nanchang，in Nanchang，China.It is one of London’s most popular tourist attractions.
What is now called the London Eye originated as a work sent by David Marks and Julia Barfield of Marks Barfield Architects in 1993 to a competition.The competition is supported by The Sunday Times and Great Britain’s Architecture Foundation，for a new landmark in memory of the millennium(千禧年) in London.Although no winner was declared，Marks and Barfield carried out the development of the project themselves and found the site where the wheel now stands.Most of the money was provided by British Airways.
Construction began in 1998，and the wheel was put together over the river before being pulled up.The London Eye was ceremonially “opened”by Prime Minister Tony Blair on December 31,1999，but didn’t admit its first paying passenger until March 9,2000.Originally scheduled to be taken apart after five years，it was kept in place because of continued popularity.In 2006 an LED lighting system was installed in order to make the wheel more noticeable after dark.
The wheel rests on two supports，which are fixed firmly to a foundation on the riverbank and lean(倾斜) out over the river at an angle of 65°.The power to turn the wheel is sent through rubber tires that are placed on the base of the structure.Placed on the wheel are 32 eggshaped “capsules”，as the cabins that carry the passengers are called.Their number agrees with the 32 boroughs(自治市) that (together with the City of London) make up Greater London.Each capsule can hold as many as 25 passengers.The wheel moves so slowly—two circles per hour—that it needn’t stop for passengers to get on or off，except for those with disabilities.
32.When was the London Eye the tallest Ferris wheel in the world?
A．In 1993. B．In 1998.
C．In 2004. D．In 2016.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“...was the world’s tallest Ferris wheel from 1999...until 2006...”可知，伦敦眼在1999年至2006年期间是世界上最大的摩天轮，由此可判断2004年正确。
33．Why did Marks and Barfield design the London Eye?
A．To compete for a prize.
B．To memorialize the start of their business.
C．To attract more visitors to the River Thames.
D．To realize their dream of riding on a Ferris wheel.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“What is now called the London Eye originated as a work...to a competition.”可推断，Marks和Barfield设计伦敦眼是为了参赛获奖。
34．What happened to the London Eye in 2006?
A．It leant out more than 65°.
B．It was officially open to the public.
C．It was decorated with brighter lighting.
D．It faced the threat of being taken apart.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“In 2006 an LED lighting system was installed...”可知，2006年伦敦眼装上了更明亮的照明系统。
35．What does the last paragraph imply?
A．Greater London consists of 32 cities.
B．The London Eye spends an hour spinning around once.
C．Disabled people are forbidden to get on the London Eye.
D．The London Eye can hold eight hundred passengers at most.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“32 eggshaped ‘capsules’”和“Each capsule can hold as many as 25 passengers.”可推断，伦敦眼最多能容纳八百名乘客。

第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
When a student cuts class，fails to prepare for class or do homework，or is unable to answer even simple questions about the topic being studied in class，it is clear that the student is not learning well，and teachers may wonder why.One of the causes might be language anxiety.Language anxiety is a fear occurring when a learner is expected to perform in the foreign language.That is，when a student is asked to perform in the target language in class，he is likely to become nervous and fail to do it.
The good news is that so far some research has suggested language anxiety can make students focused，get good grades and build up high selfconfidence.Despite these benefits，most research has also shown a negative relationship between language anxiety and performance.The negative kind of anxiety harms learners’ performance in many ways.As time goes by，they will doubt themselves，refuse to join in discussions and try to avoid using the language.
Teachers and researchers might sometimes be able to judge language anxiety through measuring scales(评价标准)．There are a number of scales，the best known of which is called the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale or FLCAS.The FLCAS was developed to measure the specific anxiety reaction of a student to a foreign language situation.However，this is not recommended because researchers consider that language anxiety is observable in class.
To help students to deal more effectively with language anxiety，teachers are advised to allow students to perform differently according to their own abilities.More importantly，teachers ought to provide various opportunities for classroom success in the language.In this way，students can be freed from the pain of severe language anxiety.Gradually they will become more and more confident of their language abilities and eventually experience what it means to succeed in the language classroom.
参考范文
When using a foreign language in class，learners may experience language anxiety.(要点1)Research has shown that it does more harm to learners in many aspects in spite of its benefits.(要点2)To its credit，language anxiety can be observed without the use of scales/FLCAS.(要点3)Therefore，teachers should welcome different performance and attach more importance to offering chances for students to feel successful.(要点4)
