Carnegie Hall is known not just for its beauty and history, but also for its amazing sound, it has been said that the hall itself is an instrument. It takes the music and makes it larger than life.Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie, who paid for its construction. He was a wealthy man who also gave a lot of money to schools and public libraries. Construction on Carnegie Hall began in 1890 and the official opening night was on May 5, 1891.The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E. Simon. The building became very old and in 1960, the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block. Isaac Stem led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally, the city of New York bought it for ￥5 million. It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.In 1986, people realized that Carnegie Hall had never kept proper records of its history. Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programmes and information from all over the world. Over 12, 000 concert programmes were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Halls concert history.Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall, it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there. This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Halls history. Question: How do I get to Carnegie Hall? Answer: Practise, practise, practise.（1）What do music lovers expect in Carnegie Hall? A . Musical concerts presented by first class performers.B . Exhibits and photographs of historical events.C .

Because you expect the answer to be directions and not advice.B . Because Carnegie Hall is a place where performers practice a lot.C . Because it is difficult to find your way to Carnegie Hall.D .

According to a report on the World Economic Forum (2016), critical thinking, creativity, and their practical application(应用)are widely accepted as the top three skills that young people need to have in their future career.A good critical thinker usually takes the following steps before he decides what to do. Whenever he needs to do something, he would, first of all, reason. He checks why he needs to do it and whether he really needs to do it. Then, analyze(分析). He tries to find out what it really is and the best way to do it. After that, evaluate. He makes sure whether he is able to do it and how to do it well. Finally, he makes the decision and takes action. Take the Double 11 (a popular online shopping day in China) as an example. A few days before it, he checks carefully what he needs and whether he really needs them, and makes a shopping list. He goes to the online shops to compare the quality(质量) and the prices of the things that he is going to buy. He compares the shops that sell these things. Then he checks whether he can afford(买得起) them and in which shops he is going to buy them. Although it takes him some time to make the decisions, he would not regret(后悔)after the shopping.Then what would happen if he didnt think critically before he made the decisions? After the crazy Double 11, there were usually a lot of complaints(抱怨)on the Internet. There were regrets about buying more things than they needed. There were complaints about the poor quality and the prices of the things they bought. There were also complaints because they received wrong things or simply received nothing. There were all kinds of regrets and complaints. Why so? They had not thought critically before they made the decisions.Critical thinking helps you make wiser decisions. It helps you avoid wasting time, money and so on. Therefore, do look before you leap.（1）According to the passage, critical thinking is a thinking skill that _. A . helps make better choicesB . will appear in the futureC . helps make quick decisionsD . makes us spend more money（2）In Paragraph 2, how does the critical thinker analyze the things he may buy? A . He checks what he needs to buy.B . He makes a proper shopping list.C . He studies the quality and the prices.D . He checks how much money he has.（3）Which of the following examples is the use of critical thinking? A . Darning did a new science experiment before reading the order.B . Linglings parents became very angry when they knew her bad marks.C . After looking at the other teams weak points, the coach made a new plan.D . After hearing the strangers words, the girl followed him into a supermarket.五、 语法填空 （共10小题，每小题1分） (共1题；共10分)22. （10分）Parents find that teaching young children is a _ job (challenge) 六、 书面表达 (15分) (共1题；共15分)23. （15分）目前，学校存在少数学生考试作弊现象。某英文杂志社拟对此现象向中学生征文，标题是“My Opinion on Cheating in Examinations”。请根据下列提示用英语写一篇征文稿。 内容要点如下：主要原因考试偏多、偏难不用功、懒惰取悦父母、老师个人看法作弊不对，违反校规要诚实，努力学习(其他看法)注意：短文必须包括所有内容要点，可适当发挥；文标题已给出；词数：100词左右；参考词汇：作弊cheat(v. )第 15 页 共 15 页参考答案一、 从下面每小题的A、B、C三个选项中选出可以替换划线部分的最佳 (共8题；共8分)1-1、2-1、3-1、4-1、5-1、6-1、7-1、8-1、二、 根据句子意思，从下面每小题的A、B、C三个选项中选出恰当的单 (共7题；共7分)9-1、10-1、11-1、12-1、13-1、14-1、15-1、三、 完形填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分） (共1题；共15分)16-1、四、 阅读理解。（共20小题，每小题1.5分） (共5题；共30分)17-1、17-2、17-3、17-4、18-1、18-2、18-3、18-4、18-5、19-1、19-2、19-3、19-4、20-1、20-2、20-3、20-4、21-1、21-2、21-3、五、 语法填空 （共10小题，每小题1分） (共1题；共10分)22-1、六、 书面表达 (15分) (共1题；共15分)23-1、
