I had fallen behind in most of my household chores. After breakfast, I sat down at the puter to write an article. My youngest daughter, Julia, walked toward me. “But, Mommy, I thought we were going to do something fun today,” she said. “Since its our day off from school.” “I know its your day off, but its not Mommys day off,” I explained. “Can you play a game with me?” she begged. “Like Candy Land? Or beauty shop?” I sighed. I really didnt have time to play. I desperately needed to get some work done. But then I had an idea. “Can we play beauty shop while I work?” So I got my article done, and my toenails(脚趾甲) painted at the same time. My oldest, Austin, volunteered to prepare lunch so I could keep working. Shortly after lunch, we went to the grocery store and I got what I needed. Back at home, the kids decided to play “grocery store”. For the remainder of the afternoon, I cleaned house, folded laundry, and started dinner. The kids continued with their game until my husband, Eric, walked through the door.He saw me and smiled. “So how was the kids big day off today?” I began to explain that we hadnt done anything special. But my two middle kids, Jordan and Lea interrupted me. They told their dad, “We had such a special day today, Dad! It was a blast!” I looked at my childrens faces. They were lit up with excitement. I nodded, realizing how right he was. Happiness is far more about our attitude than our circumstances. I hugged my kids and thanked them for reminding me to look for happiness in the little things. Julia smiled and said, “And the little things that make you the happiest are us, right, Mommy?” Wow, my kids sure are smart.24. How did Julia probably feel after hearing what her mother said in Paragraph 2?A. Quite annoyed.C. A little confused.B. Quite surprised.D. A little disappointed.25. Why did the author advise playing beauty shop?A. She decided to relax herself.C. She liked the game very much.B. She planned to finish her work.D. She wanted to keep her promise.26.

What message does the author intend to convey in this text?A. Family life brings us greatest joy.B. Life is made up of small pleasures.C. Happiness can be gained in little things.D. Little things can make a great difference.CMadagascar, an island nation off the southeastern coast of Africa, is home to some of the most unusual animals in the world. But many of these species may be in danger. Bushes and lowlying plants have started to take up too much space on the forest floor, providing fuel for wildfires. So scientists are considering using giant tortoises to help prevent the forest fires and thereby help the native wildlife in Madagascar.Why? Long ago, giant tortoises lived all over Madagascar. They ate up many plants that grew on the forest floor. They also spread the seeds of native trees keeping the ecosystem in check. But when humans settled on the island over 2,000 years ago, hunting caused the giant tortoises native to the island to bee extinct.Now, scientists plan to ship 300 close relatives of the extinct Madagascaran tortoises to the island. They hope that these tortoises will spread the seeds of native plants and chow_down_on the extra bushes just like their relatives did long ago.To find the relatives, scientists studied the fossils (化石) of Madagascars extinct giant tortoises. They discovered that they were actually very similar to another group of giant tortoises that live on the Aldabra Atoll, a group of islands in the Indian Ocean. When the tortoises first arrive in Madagascar, they will live in an area closed off from the rest of the wildlife. There, researchers will watch the tortoises every move to see how they will react to the native plants. If all goes well, the tortoises will be released into the wild.Similar practice has been successful in other places. Take the island of Rodrigues, located east of Madagascar, for example. Seven years ago, tortoises were brought there. Now they are spreading seeds and keeping the bushes from taking over. If the same thing works in Madagascar, the giant tortoises may be used to help out other forests around the world.语篇解读：非洲岛国马达加斯加为防止森林火灾和保持生态平衡，考虑引进一种Given the recent interest in green buildings in the media, lets think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand?Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process.So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Current thinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(协调统一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.For integrated design to succeed, all parties must e together and think beyond each persons circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outes may include reduced air-conditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used.We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.28. Whats the authors attitude towards the open-door practice of the street shops?A. Favorable.B. Optimistic.C. Indifferent.D. Disapproving.29. Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?A. To follow an old practice.B. To help reduce energy use.C. To help cut down on daily expenses.D. To pletely replace air conditioners.30. Whats the key to making sustainable buildings a reality?A. All parties should get started at the same time.B. The basic architecture should be finished first.C. Proper design and performance to achieve energy reduction.D. Seeking the small-house policy and some successful architects.31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Waste less, live betterB. Goodbye, air conditioningC. How to reduce the energy costD. Green buildings call for integrated designDSmartphones have been blamed for everything from taking drivers attention from driving to keeping people on the sofa scrolling (滚屏) videos. But the smartphone that seems to be everywhere could just as easily increase physical activity if it pushes its owners buttons in the right way.New research shows that making social connections through activity-tracking apps gets people to move more. And a separate study on this summers “Pokemon Go” phenomenon shows that the smartphone game got players to take thousands more steps than usual. Together, the studies show the potential for smartphones to push a range of people to be more active.People who linked with friends on the activity-tracking app increase their steps by 400 a day on average over the next week, pared with people who made no social connections, according to Tim Althoff and two other puter scientists at Stanford University. The effect of social connections declined, but remained significant for five months before the numbers fell back even with users who made no connections.Such insights show the promise of smartphones and games to help with one of the most stubborn public health problems-that even people who want to be active have trouble staying active.An NBA videogame, for example, gives players extra powers in the game if they reach a step goal in real life. The app “Zomies, Run!” uses audio stories to push people to run more or run faster.Still, there is room for growth: Only about 4% of all health apps use “gamification,” such as point-scoring or petition, according to a study published in October in BMJ Open. “Gamification is actually quite closely linked with behavior change techniques,” says Dr. Elizabeth Ann Edwards, the studys lead author and a doctor and researcher at Queen Mary University of London.32. What does the author think of smartphones?A. They can have videogames more interesting.B. They can involve their users in more exercise. C. They lead to peoples lack of physical activity.D. They will make people have more connections.33.Why do smartphone users bee more active according to “Pokemon Go” phenomenon? A. They get extra powers in life.C. They have more social connections.B. A life goal has been set step by step. D. The games increase physical activity.34. Who are most likely to exercise more?A. Smartphone game lovers.C. People with no social connections.B. Video watchers on the sofa.D. People with trouble staying active.35. How does the author try to argue the ease of smartphones?A. By showing the results of some researches.B. By giving vivid description of some games.C. By explaining the functions of smartphones.D. By analyzing the causes of public health problems.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。A new report says plastics are responsible for $13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment. The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference.36 Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways. 37 After a while, it collects in the sea. And plastic never goes away. Plastic is not biodegradabledestroyed by bacteria or natural processes. Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time. The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants.38 That means harmful material may get into our food supply. 39 Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly. Plastic recycling programs also workswhere old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products. We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use. We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle it and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.The report also calls on panies to improve methods for using plastics.40 And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use. By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment.But all of the panies must join to deal with the problem.A. Then, fish may eat the plastics.B. But people can make a big difference.C. Plastics should be gathered together and reused.D. It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.E. It asks for them to better measure and control plastic use.F. The plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters.G. The report tells about harm to sea life and what to be done to improve the situation.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。As a child, Jane was fond of animals.
