BAunt KELLY always had a special place in my heart. When I was growing up. I knew I could rely on her to have room for me on her lap and words of love and encouragement when I needed to hear them. When she died five years ago, I was devastated. The whole family was still in shock when her husband, Uncle Ronnie, died a week later. I longed to have a small item of Aunt KELLYs to remember her by, but seeing her children and grandchildren overe by the grief（悲痛）of this double loss made me shy away from asking.A few months after Aunt KELLYs death, I was on my way to work when I saw Rescued Treasures, a local second-hand store. I only had a couple of dollars on me and didnt really intend to buy anything, but I stopped anyway just to look inside. I had been shopping around for a few minutes when a small, black handbag caught my eye. It wasnt fancy or special. I didnt really need a handbag and continued to look around the store, but something kept drawing me back to that handbag. Finally, I checked the price tag（标签）. It was just one dollar.The handbag stayed in the back of my car for weeks until I came upon it during a car clean-up. I opened it up. I couldnt believe it. They hadnt even cleaned it out. It was still full of junk, old candy wrappers, old receipts（收据）and used paper. Usually the store emptied things inside, so there wouldnt be any surprises for a new owner.I threw away some wastes, and sorted through the receipts, when I found one item in the small inside pocket. It was an insurance card with the name “KELLY” written on it. I began to cry. My beloved Aunt KELLY. This was her handbag.24. What do we know from the passage?A. Karens husband survived her by five years.B. Karens children refused to give any item to the author.C. The author was very shy when she was young.D. Karen had been very kind to the author.25. The underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. very worriedB. extremely sadC. a little lonelyD. slightly disappointed26.

Billboard（广告牌）lights flash, and light up the crowded streets. The colorful lights from the tall buildings are one of the citys main attractions.“Oh, my god. The lights are so amazing. We love it. Its so nice.” said one visitor.But this appreciation is not shared by everyone in Hong Kong. Lat year then government reported a record number of plaints. The curtains may be drawn. But residents argue the bright light outside is hard to escape. “We receive some plaints about the light pollution. They find it very hard to sleep or they have disturbance from the light outside.”Scientists at the University of Hong Kong spent 18 months studying levels of light pollution and collecting more than 5 million measurements. They found Hong Kong one of the worlds worst “victims”. The lights pollution condition in Hong Kong was extremely severe. Particular in cities, the night sky brightness, as well as the lights, is a few hundred times over the level of that of a night sky without light pollution. In cities such as Seoul, London, Shanghai and Paris, billboard lighting is under control. And there are punishments for people who go against the law.But in Hong Kong, there are no laws. A volunteer regulation called Charter of External Light（户外灯光约章）encourages visitors to switch off between 11 p.m. and 7 p.m. The critics say its not enough to make a difference. The government says 4800 businessmen have signed up to the Charter so far. And its satisfied that its working.But not everyone is convinced and some residents are taking upon themselves to act. Zoe Chow led a campaign to have a mercial building switch off their midnight. She won but she believes the lights will eventually turn back on. “I know that the building has signed the Charter of External Light. But it is voluntary, not mandatory（强制的）.28.

Bright lights in Hong Kong may continue to shine.B. People are satisfied with the role the Charter plays.C. Residents will never start a campaign against the light pollution.D. The Charter of External Light will no longer have an effect.31. What is this text mainly about?A. Hongkongs light pollution law B. Severe light pollution in Hongkong.C. Pollution problems in big cities. D. The Solution to light pollutions.DThe British economy is showing the greatest signs of stress since the Eurozone crisis and fears of a double-dip recession（衰退）six years ago, as worrying reports show the steepest fall in manufacturing（制造业）output and the greatest degrees of pessimism among employers since xx. Concerns over Brexit（英国脱欧）and a slowdown for high street spending are among the major factors contributing towards xx being the worst time in six years for British firms planning to take on new staff, according to a closely watched survey conducted by the employment firm ManpowerGroup.Watched by the Bank of England and the government for early warnings of hiring increases or downturns, the quarterly poll（季度民意调查）of about 2,000 major employers from nine different industry sectors across the UK found a net balance of only 4% planning to hire more staff rather than cutting back.The weakest outlook from the survey was reserved for the banking and finance industry, which recorded the worst outlook since the depths of the financial crisis almost a decade ago, suggesting job cuts may be on the way over the summer.The barometer（晴雨表）of hiring sentiment es as Britains factories unexpectedly recorded the sharpest drop in output for more than five years in April. Pointing to fewer orders for steel used in infrastructure（基础设施）projects and a wider slowdown in demand for British goods at home and abroad, the Office for National Statistics said manufacturing output fell by 1.4% in April from the previous month. Economists had forecast modest growth of 0.3%.Although the situation does not appear to be as severe this year, forecasts issued by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research on Monday suggest the UK has done little to bounce back from heavy snowfall earlier in xx.Putting the growth rate for GDP at only 0.2% in the three-month period to May, up from 0.1% in the same period ending in April, Niesrs head of UK macroeconomic forecasting, Amit Kara, said: “Economic growth has slowed materially since the start of this year and it continues to remain weak.”32. What can we learn from the first paragraph? _A. The British economy is booming now.B. The British economy is going through a great depression.C. People are not concerned about Brexit at all.D. British firms are planning to take on new stuff.33. Which of the following best explains the underlined word in paragraph 2? _A.development B. demand C. distribute D. decline34. What indicates that the hiring sentiment has e? _A. The recession in banking and finance industry.B. The sharpest drop in output recorded by Britains factories.C. GDP increasing at a rather low rate.D. The surplus of British goods at home and abroad.35. What is the Amit Karas attitude toward the current economic situation? _A. pessimistic B. optimistic C. indifferent D. hopeful第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There is a collection of positive habits that make a person so successful in class. 36 . Here are some habits of top students that you can use as tips to do better at school:First, 37 . In college, homework assignments generally make up 5-20% of your grade, but can be the biggest time- suck for most students. Working problems is one of the best ways to turn new concepts into working knowledge, but youll never see on an exam a large majority of those problems that take you hours and hours to work through.Second, they never “read through” the textbook.

Bottom line, repeated self-testing significantly improve long-term memory of new materials.Last, they study in short bursts, not long marathons. Studying in short burst tends to help you focus strongly because you know there is at least a short break ing. 40 , which makes studying continuously for multiple hours on end.A. It helps relax our mind.B. they always focus on their homeworkC. they dont always do all of their homeworkD. Top students use examples and practice problemsE.

But, now, after one semester as a college student, many of my old ideas have 42 pletely.I used to imagine bossy upper-classmen, for example. I thought they would be know-it-all rulers of the campus who 43 freshmen for fun. I pictured being 44 to the wrong classrooms, being ignored.

WhenI finally got to college, I discovered that moststudentsfelt exactly as I did. They were as uneasy with me as I waswith them, and as we started to open up, we began to 50 one another. We beganto bee curious abouteachothers backgrounds and interests; the differences among us actually became 51.I changed my mind about other things too. I had 52 homework to be a book-filled nightmare, which would keep me from meeting 53 dates. I did have some 54 tests; I did break out in a clammy sweat, and 55a stomach upset and a gigantic headache, but contrary to expectations, I passed all of my exams with good grades.Ive always been 56. Then if the worst happens, Im just ready for it.I have planned to live 57 this principle before. But after this, I know not all schools would be the same. This one 58 to be much betterthan I thought it would be a good 59 in not jumping to conclusions. No doubt my 60 toward college will shift still more as I go on, but I know Ill never be as negative as I was before I got to college.41. A. directorsB. heroesC. starsD. actors42.
