37、ing by a large window on the first floor. His name was James. During the three years at school, I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position. He was a high-ranking government official and lived happily with his wife. Once there was a bus accident, in which a number of passengers were

38、seriously injured and were taken to the hospital for treatment. James was responsible for the rescue operation. It was a big hospital, but James was shocked to notice how ill-equipped it was. There were no enough life-saving drugs and life-supporting equipment. The injured and their companions had t

39、o struggle there. James attempted to help. However, though he emptied his pockets, many of them died that day. That was a turning point in his life. He made a decision to devote his life to helping others, particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions. He began spending much of his i

40、ncome on these people. Since this required a lot of time and energy, he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire, which, in turn, reduced his income considerably. His wife was deeply worried. Most of the time, James was out and paid least attention to home affa

41、irs. Meanwhile, as he was spending a lot helping others, she had to struggle even to meet the household expenses. Though she was not opposed to his helping the poor, she urged him not to overlook his own life and home, but it had no effect on him. One day they had a heated argument and in the end sh

42、e left him, never to return. Though he continued with his work, this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and was soon forced to stay indoors. That was when he took his position by the window, spending his time looking outside. A few weeks after my graduation, I returne

43、d to school, only to find the buildings gone. I heard that they were torn down. All the people left except James.

47、udents. D. He expected his wife to return. CScientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing. Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting locations to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied

48、 the migration, or flight, paths, of almost 1,500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas. The major danger for migratory birds is development in human society. Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the

49、world to another. For example, a bird called the bar-tailed godwit migrates from its breeding grounds in the Arctic flying all the way to the southern earth in Australia and New Zealand stopping at Yellow Sea mudflats in China along the way. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “many o

50、f these critical sites have been taken up owing to urban, industrial and agricultural expansion.” The problem, according to researchers, is that many of these small birds die along their migration because they dont have a safe place to eat and rest to restore their energy for the next part of their

51、journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time conserving land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. In addition, many of the sanctuaries(避难所) are not wide enough to cover the

52、 paths of migratory birds. One species that doesnt exist any longer is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says. Theresearchers say if one country might have preserved safe zones for migratory birds while a neighboring country might not, a b

53、ird might die. One scientist who is not involved in the report says that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds. He says small changes-like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of areas birds would be likely to use-could make a big diffe

54、rence. 61. Why is development in human society considered as the major danger for migratory birds?A. Construction activities occupy birds paths. B. Serious industrial pollution damages birds habitats. C. Hunting activities happen more frequently. D. Airplane flights directly harm birds safety. 62. W

55、hats the current situation of protecting migratory birds?A. Countries in East Asia dont want to make any changes. B. The progress still remains at the primary stage. C. Some of the efforts of humans arent working well. D. Not many countries are involved in the activities. 63. According to the resear

56、chers, _. A. governments need to work together and provide safe areasB. safe zones in neighboring countries need to be combined togetherC. more bird species will die out if they continue migrating through countriesD. human activities should give way to the birds when the migrating season comes64. Wh

57、at can we know about the migratory birds according to the passage?A. They always travel from the north to the south. B. They need to stop during the migration to correct directions. C. All of them are endangered because of lacking protection. D. Some of them take rests or feed in cities. 65. Whats t

58、he main idea of the passage?A. The migration of birds influences society development. B. Migratory birds are dying from losing their homes. C. Countries need to work together to protect migratory birds. D. Protecting migratory birds is very necessary. DWhen you were at school, the last thing you pro

59、bably wanted to do was to spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to peoples homes

60、. Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. Its one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage (成人仪式). Its a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV(简历). Teenagers agree that it teaches valuabl

61、e lessons about working with adults and also about managing their own money. Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at sc

62、hool age had been blamed by employers organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment, but despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years. So does this mean that Briti

63、sh teenagers are now afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school and they are under some pressure now to study hard and get good exam result and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secre

64、tary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, its all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having eno

65、ugh time to study and rest. Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because Im earning money and it helps me socialize with people I work with.” That seem

66、s like something worth getting up for a Saturday morning. Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?66. What conclusion can we draw from Para2?A. Children over 13 in the UK must take up part-time jobs. B. Taking up part-time jobs is good for students in many ways. C. Students taking up part

67、-time jobs are more independent. D. Taking up part-time jobs can help students save money. 67. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “deleterious”?A. Threatening. B. Important. C. Beneficial. D. Harmful. 68. Why dont some British schoolchildren take up part-time jobs according to some experts?A.

68、Because they are not ready to go out to work. B. Because they cannot endure hardships. C. Because they want to study hard and get good academic performance. D. Because they lack confidence and skills needed to work. 69. Which of the following will Geoff Barton agree with?A. Students should put all t

69、heir energies into their studies. B. It is good for students to do part-time jobs as long as they are proper. C. Students with good grades and no study pressure can do part-time jobs. D. The more part-time jobs they do, the more beneficial it is for students. 70. What can be a suitable title for the

70、 text?A. Should schoolchildren have part-time jobs?B. What kind of part-time job should schoolchildren do?C. What benefits can part-time jobs bring to schoolchildren?D. Why do British schoolchildren show less interest in part-time jobs?第II卷(非选择题 共35分)第四部分：写作(共两节；满分35分)第一节: 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)A fe

71、w weeks ago, I came back from work and found my young daughter waiting for me in the hallway. She greeted me and laughed. As I put my bike into the house, she asked me to say the word-butterfly. So I did. “Butterfly,” I said. “Daddy,” she said, trying to prevent a laugh. “Its pronounced butterfly, n

72、ot bu-uh-fly.” It was then that I realized she asked me to pronounce the word on purpose. She was clear that the way I pronounced such words was different from hers. She ran off laughing aloud, almost as if she couldnt believe her luck that I had fallen into her trap. This is her new trick. If I pro

73、nounce something in a way she is not familiar with, she will make her feelings known. All of this is due to my London accent. And it is fairly obvious. Her trick first started when she asked how old I was. I told her, “Im 37 years old.” She said, “Thur-eee? Not thur-eee. Thir-tee.” She shook her hea

74、d at me in disappointment for I couldnt get my basic pronunciation right. My daughters obsession with my dropped “t”s is becoming wearing. I find myself paying attention to everything I say. And by everything, I mean e-ver-y-thing, not every-fing. I tried to explain the concept of accents to her. Be

75、cause she is growing up in Bristol, she starts to develop some strange West Country accent, like her pronunciation of the number two. It sounds like that it has an extra “w” on the end. She sometimes also adds a doing word to the end of her sentences, like “Im going to the park, I am.” Or “Your pron

76、unciation is funny, you do.”She refused to accept she had an accent. She told me that she sounded like herself, which was true. But I want to make her aware of the importance of accepting that people say things in different ways and that theres no correct way to speak. I wanted my daughter to apprec

77、iate differences, instead of wanting us all to conform to one voice. 71. What is the authors daughters new trick? (no more than 12 words)72. Why did the author speak in that way? (no more than 10 words)73. How does the author react to her daughters obsession? (no more than 10 words)74. How do you un

78、derstand the underlined part in paragraph 5? (no more than 10 words)75. What do you learn from the text?
