When European settlers arrived on the scene, the Bluegrass Region was in use as a hunting ground by many Native American tribes.

William McConnell and a group of frontier explorers were camped at a natural spring when word came that the first battle of the American Revolution had been fought in Massachusetts.

My philosophy professor was a typical eccentric philosopher, whose behavior was somewhat strange. His disheveled (蓬乱的) appearance was highlighted by a well-worn tweed (粗花呢) sport coat and poor-fitting thick glasses, which often rested on the tip of his nose. Every now and then, as most philosophy professors do, he would go off on one of those existential “what's the meaning of life” discussions. Many of those discussions went nowhere, but there were a few that really hit home. This was one of them:
“Respond to the following questions by a show of hands, ” my professor instructed.
“How many of you can tell me something about your parents?” Everyone's hand went up.
“How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents?” About three-fourths of the class raised their hands.
“How many of you can tell me something about your great-grandparents?” Two out of sixty students raised their hands.
“Look around the room, ” he said. “In just two short generations hardly any of us even know who our own great-grandparents were. Oh sure, maybe we have an old photograph tucked (收藏) away in a musty cigar box or know the classic family story about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot. But how many of us really know who they were, what they thought, what they were proud of, what they were afraid of, or what they dreamed about? Think about that. Within three generations our ancestors are all but forgotten. Will this happen to you?”
“Here’s a better question. Look ahead three generations. You are long gone. Instead of you sitting in this room, now it’s your great-grandchildren. What will they have to say about you? Will they know about you? Or will you be forgotten, too?”
“Is your life going to be a warning or an example? What legacy will you leave? The choice is yours. Class dismissed.”
Nobody rose from their seats for a good five minutes.

A．Untidy but considerate.

A．To share his own interesting stories.

6．What can we know about this philosophy class?
A．It aroused our thinking about life.
B．It went nowhere like the previous ones.
C．The professor was unsatisfied with our answers.
D．The professor offered us his answers to the questions.
7．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Our philosophy professor.
B．A lesson about legacy.
C．Our memorable ancestors.
D．A gap among three generations.

Online classes began to be popularized just a few decades ago. They are advertised as a way for adults to finish their education and students to learn the material at their own pace -- it is far more suitable for people with busy schedules.
But after being enrolled in an online course last fall semester, I came to realize online classes were merely a means to fulfil course requirements.
First of all, students lack the desire to learn and they simply complete their assignments to receive credit for a passing grade rather than genuinely engage with the course material.
As online courses tend to have more than 100 students, most of the assignments are short and simple. They are not designed for students to interact with the material in depth but designed to be graded easily to accommodate such a large number of students.
Perhaps the biggest disadvantage of taking an online class is the absence of face-to-face interaction between the teacher and their students. Live sessions are infrequent and are often scheduled during the middle of the day when students have to attend other classes or work. The office hours of the professor may also be during inconvenient times for many students as well. Most interaction with the professor has to be through email which is often impersonal. It is nearly impossible for students to build a relationship with their professor.
There is also little interaction among students. It can be harder to create study groups and form relationships with their peers.
Online classes also require either a computer or laptop and a reliable Internet connection. Not all students have access to these types of resources, whether it is for financial or other reasons, and some students can be put at a disadvantage.
Offering online classes certainly helps students who would otherwise not be able to attend classroom sessions. However, they fail to provide a genuine education with an emphasis on convenience rather than critical thinking. We need restructured online classes in which students can have a learning experience that will actually provide quality education.
8．What does the author say about students enrolled in online classes?
A．They are unmotivated to learn. B．They can access course materials easily.
C．They can learn at their own pace. D．They rarely fulfil the course requirements.
9．What does the author think of online course assignments?
A．They are based on easily accessible material.
B．They are meant to facilitate interaction.
C．They are made convenient to mark.
D．They are given to accommodate students’ needs.
10．What does the author say is one disadvantage of online classes?
A．They are frequently scheduled at irregular times.
B．They provide little chance for students to build relationships with each other.
C．They tend to increase professors’ burden of responding to students’ emails.
D．They make professors offices much less accessible.
11．What does the author think makes up a key part of genuine education?
A．Acquisition of useful knowledge.
B．Training of real-life skills on campus.
C．Development of students personalities.
D．Cultivation of analytical thinking ability.

Japan is getting tough about recycling and not in the paper and plastic kind of way. Recently, the country requires that all electronic goods -- TVs, VCRs, stereos, and more -- be recycled. But recycling will not be left to consumers, instead, the devices will be sent to the original manufacturer for proper disposal.
The new law poses(造成) a few challenges to manufacturers who are now rushing to set up collection networks and perfecting techniques to disassemble and recycle older products.With an eye toward the future, they are also integrating easily recycled materials into new products. Plastics, a major component of most electronic products, pose a particular obstacle because their quality becomes worse and worse with age, losing strength and flexibility even if reprocessed. NEC Corp, overcomes this problem by creating a plastics sandwich, in which the filling is 100 percent recycled plastic and the outer layers a mixture of 14 percent recycled material.The resulting plastic has sufficient strength and toughness for use as a case for desktop PCs. The company, in cooperation with plastic maker Sumitomo Dow, has also developed a new plastic, which engineers claim retains(保持) its mechanical properties through repeated recycling. NEC uses the plastic, which is also flame-retardant (阻燃的) in battery cases for notebook PCs.
Meanwhile, Matsushita Electric, maker of the Panasonic brand, is avoiding plastic in favor of magnesium (镁). Magnesium, says the company, is ideal for recycling because it retains its original strength through repeated reprocessing. Matsushita has developed molding techniques to form magnesium into the case for a 21-inch TV. Unfortunately, the magnesium case and energy-saving features make the TV about twice as expensive as an ordinary model.The company hopes, however, that increased use of magnesium will eventually bring prices down.
12．According to the present regulations of Japan, the recycling of paper and plastic will be the responsibility of______.
A．the manufacturers B．the government C．the sellers D．the consumers
13．Which of the following is NOT the character of plastics?
A．It retains its original strength through reprocessing.
B．Most electronic products contain plastics.
C．Plastics will lose flexibility after a certain period of time.
D．Recycled plastics can be integrated into new products
14．According to the passage, the term “plastic sandwich” refers to_____.
A．a kind of plastics made of 100% recycled materials.
B．a kind of plastics with maximum strength and flexibility.
C．a kind of plastics with different integration in each layer.
D．a kind of sandwich-shaped toy made of plastics.
15．In the passage, what can be implied _____.
A．magnesium must be better than the plastics.
B．21-inch TV with magnesium case isn’t very popular so far.
C．magnesium is an ideal material for the case of TV.
D．NEC Corp has created a plastics sandwich.


二、七选五
Home on the Way
People need homes: Children assume their parents’ place as home; boarders call school “home” on weekdays; married couples work together to build new homes; and travelers—have no place to call “home”, at least for a few nights. 16 Don’t they have the right to a home? Of course they do.
Some regular travelers take their own belongings like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with the service and attendants; 17 Furthermore, driving a camping car during one’s travel and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home.
And how about keeping relationships while in transit? 18 ; some send letters and postcards, or even photos；others may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that they’re still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. 19
Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting to be found. 20 , we can make the place we stay “home”.
A．Hostels provide a clean and safe place to stay while you are traveling the world.
B．others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely
C．Backpackers in youth hostels may become good friends, even closer than siblings（兄弟姐妹）.
D．So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of time?
E．No matter where you go to in the world, hotels are there, too.
F．Some keep contact with their friends via the Internet.
G．Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and imagination


三、完形填空
The snow was falling and the roads had become dangerous. The schools were dismissed early, but much to my surprise, my 21 wasn’t canceled. So I went, feeling especially heroic. As far as I could see, I was risking my life to keep my 22 . Snow or no snow, I would be on time for my scheduled donation at the local blood center.
When I got there, I discovered I wasn’t 23 . Four more “hero-types” were already lying back in donor chairs with lines 24 to their veins, and machines quietly pumping away to 25 their lifesaving gifts.
Seeing my fellow donors 26 their own commitments, I realized why I was there. I lay back in my donor chair, 27 to make a difference in the life of someone I would never meet.
To be honest, I’d never really thought about why I donate. I just do it. But a few months ago, during one of my 28 donations I learned that my blood was specifically for a cancer patient and for a newborn baby -- both patients needed what I would give in order to live. I’ve viewed my visits to the blood center 29 ever since.
My wife Karen is a donor, too. And more 30 , she has been on the bone marrow (骨髄) list for fifteen years, ever since she signed up to provide bone marrow to a kindergartner with leukemia (白血病). That little girl died before Karen’s bone marrow could help her, 31
Karen was called again recently. Her test results were still on file, and it turned out she was a potential 32 for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she would still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes,” she said and then immediately began answering questions on the pages of paperwork for further testing. It was a race 33 time.
I wish I could say that this 34 was won. It wasn’t. The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions including whether or not she’d 35 on the donor list. “Of course,” Karen answered.
Last week Karen gave blood and next week I’ll make my usual donation. I’ll clear an afternoon from my schedule and make an appointment. I don’t know whose life my donation may affect. It is worthwhile to take our time to donate.
I really do feel proud every time I donate. And I like the feeling.
21．A．appointment B．class C．meeting D．flight
22．A．secret B．balance C．shape D．word
23．A．alone B．welcome C．late D．lucky
24．A．exposed B．attached C．applied D．added
25．A．examine B．produce C．collect D．clean
26．A．honoring B．making C．interpreting D．recognizing
27．A．worried B．afraid C．ready D．anxious
28．A．regular B．unexpected C．special D．pleasant
29．A．wisely B．differently C．hesitantly D．carefully
30．A．importantly B．definitely C．hopefully D．meaningfully
31．A．or B．but C．and D．for
32．A．risk B．customer C．match D．partner
33．A．beyond B．with C．against D．of
34．A．dignity B．test C．prize D．race
35．A．rank B．sign C．appear D．remain


四、用单词的适当形式完成短文
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Over the years I’ve been teaching children about a simple 36 powerful concept -- the ant philosophy (哲学).I think everybody should study ants.
They have an 37 (amaze) four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. That’s a good philosophy. If they’re heading somewhere and you try to stop them, they’ll look for 38 way. They’ll climb over, they’ll climb under, and they’ll climb around. They never quit looking for a way to get where they 39 (suppose) to go.
Second, ants think winter all summer. That’s an important viewpoint. You can’t be so naive (天真的) as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer and make 40 (prepare) for the long cold winter. You’ve got to think storms when it’s fine. You’ve got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.
The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind 41 (they), “This won’t last long. We’ll soon be out of here.” And on the first warm day, the ants are out. 42 it turns cold again, they’ll dive back down, but then they come out on the first warm day. They can’t wait to get out.
And here’s the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will 43 ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he 44 (possible) can. What an incredible philosophy!
45 you can learn from the ant philosophy is: Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was time for graduates to hunt for jobs. The majority of them didn’t have working experience for they had spent most of their time at school studying academic subjects. It was not until they graduated from college that they realized it was a challenge for them to land jobs.
Jimmy, one of these job hunters, was a young academically excellent person. One day, after making good preparations, he went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. In spite of fierce competition, he managed to pass the first interview. What a lucky dog! Jimmy was informed to come for the next round in a few days — the last interview for the company to make the final decision.
The big day finally came. He dressed neatly, the grey tie matching perfectly the decent suit. Blood rushing to his face and heart pounding heavily, he tried to calm down, and then took a few deep breaths. It was his turn.
The interviewer, an elegant lady, discovered from the CV that the youth’s academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research. After several rounds of questions related to the position, she asked, “Have you ever done any part-time jobs?” “None.” After a while, the interviewer asked who paid for Jimmy’s school fees. The youth answered in a low voice, “My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was my mother who paid for all my school fees.”
She continued, “What did your mother do?” “My mother worked as a clothes cleaner.” The lady requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.
The interviewer paused for a second, leaning against the chair, “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?” Ashamed, Jimmy replied, “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.” She nodded, adding, “I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then see me back here tomorrow morning.”
注意：
1.续写的词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了日本在塑料回收方面的决策及新型塑料的优势和用途。

16．D 17．B 18．F 19．C 20．G

【导语】本文是一篇议论文，人人都需要家，一旦走出家门，只要稍加努力和想象，我们就能把栖身之地营造成一个“家”！
16．上文“and travelers—have no place to call “home”, at least for a few nights. ”提到：至于旅行者——少有几天他们要住在不能称为“家”的地方；下句“Don’t they have the right to a home? Of course they do.”说：难道他们没有权利拥有一个家吗?当然有。所以这里表达的应该是：那么那些不得不长期出门在外的人怎么办？承上启下，they 指代的就是D项中的“那些不得不长期出门在外的人”，故选D。
17．上文“some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with the service and attendants”提到了有些经常出门的旅行者，后面应该表达的是另一些经常出门的旅行者，B项中的others与上文的some形成照应，some...others，一些……另一些……，故选B。

19．上句“Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. ”说：在旅途中交朋友能帮旅行者或多或少地找到一点家的感觉。所以下句应该是：青年旅店里的背包客也许会成为要好的朋友，甚至比手足还要亲，具体举例说明了如何在旅途中交朋友，故选C。
20．上句“Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting to be found.”说：每当我们走出家门，就总有另一个“家”在等着我们去寻找。下句“we can make the place we stay “home”.”说：我们就可以把我们住的地方变成“家”，所以此处表达的是：无论身在何处，只要稍加努力和想象，指出了在旅途中把我们住的地方变成“家”的前提条件，故选G。

36．but 37．amazing 38．another 39．are supposed 40．preparations 41．themselves 42．If 43．an 44．possibly 45．What

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了从蚂蚁身上我们能学到的四个哲学道理。
36．考查连词。句意：多年来，我一直在教授孩子们一个简单而有力的概念——蚂蚁哲学。分析句意可知，“simple”和“powerful”构成转折关系，用but连接。故填but。
37．考查形容词。句意：他们有一个惊人的四部分哲学，这是第一部分：蚂蚁从不放弃。根据“four-part philosophy”可知，空处需填形容词作定语修饰名词，amazing作形容词，表示“惊人的，令人惊讶的”，符合句意。故填amazing。
38．考查形容词。句意：如果它们要去某个地方，而你试图阻止它们，它们就会寻找另一条路。根据句意可知，another表示“三者或三者以上的另一个，再一个的”，符合句意。故填another。
39．考查时态语态。句意：他们从不放弃寻找到达他们想去的地方的道路。分析句子结构可知，状语从句缺谓语动词，描述客观事实用一般现在时，be supposed to do sth表示“本应该做某事”，故填are supposed。
40．考查名词。句意：因此，蚂蚁在盛夏收集它们的冬季食物，为漫长寒冷的冬天做准备。make preparations for表示“为……做准备”，preparation是可数名词，这里表示为寒冬的来临做了许多准备，故用名词复数。故填preparations。
41．考查反身代词。句意：在冬天，蚂蚁会提醒它们自己:“这不会持续太久的”。remind onsself表示“提醒某人自己”，主语是“ants”，第三人称复数，故填themselves。
42．考查条件状语从句。句意：如果天气再次变冷，它们就会潜藏起来，但等到第一个暖和的日子它们就会出来。分析句意可知，“____ it turns cold again”是条件状语从句，故用if引导。故填If。
43．考查冠词。句意：蚂蚁在夏天要收集多少东西来准备过冬?根据“ant”可知，空处缺冠词，此处表示泛指，“ant”以元音音素开头，故填an。
44．考查副词。句意：蚂蚁在夏天要收集多少东西来准备过冬呢?它会尽可能收集所有的东西。根据句意可知，can后省略了动词gather，此处需用副词作状语修饰动词。故填possibly。
45．考查主语从句。句意：你可以从蚂蚁哲学中学到的是：永不放弃，向前看，保持积极的态度，尽你所能。分析句子结构可知，“____10___you can learn from the ant philosophy”是主语从句，从句缺宾语，指代学到的事情，故用what引导。故填What。

47．One possible version:
Back home, Jimmy requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid. It was the first time he had noticed that there were so many bruises in her hands. His tears fell as he cleaned her hands. This was also the first time he had realized that it was the bruises in the mother’s hands that were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future. After cleaning his mother’s hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother. That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.
The next morning, Jimmy went to the interviewer’s office. “What have you done and learned, young man?” Jimmy answered with tears in his eyes, “I cleaned my mother’s hands and all the remaining clothes.” The lady nodded, “Please share something with me.” The youth said, “Firstly, I know now what appreciation is. Without my mother, there would not be the successful me today. Additionally, by working together and helping my mother, I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Ultimately, I have learned to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.” The interviewer smiled, “This is what I am looking for to be my manager. You are hired. Congratulations!”

【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“回到家，吉米请求他的母亲让他给她洗手。”可知，第一段可描写吉米请求给母亲洗手，第一次看清母亲双手的样子及他的感触。
