Mr. Johnson took the only escape routethrough the boot (行李箱).Mr. Johnsons car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent, after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to e in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldnt force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would e flooding in.”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench (扳手) and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”His hands and arms cut and bruised，Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmers wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Trembling in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.21. In which section of a newspaper can we read this article?A. Book review. B. News report. C. Campus life. D. Continued story.22. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 “Finally it gave” means that _.A. luckily the door was torn away in the endB. at last the wrench went brokenC. the lock came open after all his effortsD. the chance was lost at the last minute23. It may be inferred from the passage that _. A. the ditch was along a quiet country road B. the accident happened on a clear warm day C. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditchD. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attendedB“A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website” is the definition of “selfie” in the Oxford English Dictionary. In fact, it wasnt even in the dictionary until August of last year. It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对痴迷) selfieswe take them when we try on a new hat, play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we havent seen in a while.But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession? Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist(神经系统科学家) at University College London.Through our lifetime we bee experts at recognizing and interpreting other peoples faces and facial expressions. In contrast, according to Kilner, we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at themwe just feel them most of the time.This has been proved in previous studies, according to the BBC.Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are. To further test how we actually perceive our own faces, Kilner carried out another study. He showed people different versions of their own portraitthe original, one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractiveand asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them. They chose the more attractive version.But what does it say about settles? Well, isnt that obvious? Selfies give us the power to create a photographby taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters (滤色镜) and so onthat better matches our expectations with our actual faces.“You suddenly have control in a way that you dont have in non-virtual(非虚拟的) interactions,” Kilner told the Canada-based CTV News. Selfies allow you “to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one youre happy with” , he explained.24. What is the passage mainly about?A. The definition and fun of taking selfies.B. The explanation of why people love taking selfies.C. How taking selfies influences peoples daily lives.D. How to interpret peoples facial expressions in their selfies.25. The underlined word “perceive” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “_”.A. interpret B. beautify C. choose D. destroy26. According to Kilner, people like taking selfies probably because they think _.A. it is a good chance to learn more about their actual facesB. it is a way to respond to others facial expressions correctlyC. it enables them to interact with their friends in social mediaD. it allows them to satisfy their expectations with their appearancesCA hospital has been forced to ban Pokemon Go players from the site after a monster hub(妖怪枢纽站) was found in the A&E department. Royal Stoke University Hospital discovered that its casualty unit(急诊室) is on the same spot as a Pokemon Go gymwhere players can train their newly caught Nintendo creatures.The University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust agreed last week that patients can play Pokemon Go on wards because walking around is healthy. But the Trust has been forced to post a warning on its website about public access to A&E. It said if Pokemon Go bees a major annoyance it would ask Nintendowhich decides on the locations of the virtual gyms according using GPSto have it removed from the premises(道馆). Kevin Parker, associate chief nurse, said: “Members of the public who do not need to be at Royal Stoke should not attempt to enter A&E or any other part of the hospital building to play the game. The A&E department is incredibly busy this summer. We want the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital solely to play the game will provide an unwanted distraction to the important work of the hospital. Im also aware of various reports in the media of unsafe areas that the game has been played in. ”“Royal Stoke University Hospital is a safe area where gamers can enjoy Pokemon Go.” Michelle Harris, the Trusts manager, said the game could still be played by those already in hospital. “We recognise that the Pokemon Go game encourages walking and exercise, which is something that the Trust is equally keen to promote, ” she said.There are a number of “walking routes” established throughout the Trust that can be used to bine walking and playing the game. “Walking just 30 minutes, five times a week, can help reduce the risk of preventable illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.”There have been several warnings about the game since its UK release. Last week a group of teenagers in Wiltshire were left stranded almost 100ft underground after they got carried away searching for Pokemon Go characters. The four boys, aged 16 and 17, ended up getting lost and had to wait to get a phone signal before they could call for help. Eventually, they contacted Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue team, who took them to safety. Damien Bence, of the fire and rescue team, said: “Pokemon Go is obviously leading people into dangerous situations.”27. It seems that Pokemon Go is a game_. A. designed to help patients have a quick recovery in hospital B. helping cure such diseases as obesity, diabetes and heart disease C. encouraging players to walk and exercise instead of staying indoors D. warning teenagers of the places easy to get lost or attacked28. The A&E department is incredibly busy because_. A. more patients arrival increases the workload of the A&E department B. doctors playing the game makes the A&E department less efficient C. players injury increases the workload of the A&E department D. players arrival disturbs the work of the A&E department29. The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means_. A. hurt B. disturbed C. trapped D. threatened30. The passage is mainly about_. A. the negative effects of Pokemon Go since its UK release B. the applications of Pokemon Go in hospitals since its UK release C. the popularity of Pokemon Go since its UK release D. the establishment of Pokemon Go virtual gyms since its UK release 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Any exercise is good exercise, but when it es to losing weight, its hard to beat running. After all, running is one of the most efficient ways to burn calories and get fit without having to restrict your diet. 31 If youre not a runner yet but interested in losing weight, here are four reasons running can be the best exercise for weight loss. 32 When paring running with walking the same distance, studies find that running will lead to greater weight loss, most likely because your resting energy expenditure stays elevated(高的) after you run. In a long-term parison study of runners and walkers, calories burned through running led to 90% more weight loss than calories burned through walking.Running is time-efficient. Even if the myth that running a mile and walking a mile burn the same number of calories were true, running is a considerably faster way to burn those calories. 33 Running is convenient. Though many of us have accumulated a vast arsenal（武器，装备） of GPS gadgets and tech tees over the years, little is actually required to go running. You can do it alone. You can do it almost anywhere. 34 For this reason alone, running is the best workout for weight loss because its cheap and accessible, and there are fewer barriers to maintaining a routine, even while traveling.Two words: runners high. 35 Fortunately, studies support what many runners have experienced on an anecdotal levelrunning can actually get you high. Scientists have found links between moderate to intense exercise and morphine-like brain chemicals, which explains the occasional flood of thrill that rushes over you during a hard run. That happy sensation you had after your last race makes you want to go for another run, right?A. Cultivate the good habit of running.B. Running works even when youre at rest.C. You will never stick to a habit if you dont like it.D. The first rule of exercising for weight loss is that if you dont enjoy it, you wont stick with it.E. You dont need any equipment beyond a pair of running shoes.F. If youre already a runner, keep on.G. Most people can run two or three times as far as they can walk in a given amount of time.第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20个小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）Its a sad and familiar voice that we often hear in big cities: “Can you spare some change?”Usually, when faced with that particular 36 , I have feelings of guilt if I pass by 37 giving a coin or two.I had that feeling 38 in Venice while on a tour of Italys famous sites in xx.

The topic of my speech is “Lets pick up a book and read”.Nowadays, with the growth of the Internet, man teenagers are addicted to online games. They usually spend long hours in front of puters during their spare time. The long-term use of puters causes many students to suffer loss of memory. Their interest in studying also drops greatly. How can we get teenagers back to a normal life? I think it is a good idea to help them form the habit of reading. On the one hand, reading can broaden teenage
