So I moved from central Illinois to Shelbina, Missouri, and bought 236 acres for $6,000. The plot of land was situated on a dirt road and was half farmland and half trees, with an old house that had no running water or electricity. Obviously, it was not what youd call prime real estate. But it was mine. I was alone for the first time in my life, and I found it liberating. My days were filled from dawn until dusk with plowing and planting corn. Dinnertime came and went, and I barely remembered to eat. I wouldnt say I was a great success at farming in Missouri. However, when I went to the store to buy some plowshares, I met a nice woman named Claudette working behind the counter. I also ran into her at St. Marys Catholic Church in Shelbina each week. I found out later that her manager kept asking her about “that tall boy (and eligible bachelor) from Illinois living out in the country in an old house with no water, no electricity and no housekeeper.”Claudette and her sister soon visited my farm and put up some curtains. To show my appreciation, I took Claudette out for a ride in my 2-ton Studebaker truck. We married in 1954 and have now been together for more than 62 years! I later sold the Missouri farm for a $3,500 profit and bought 40 acres in Illinois. For many reasons, buying the Missouri farm was a good idea. I will always cherish memories of owning the farm and meeting my beloved.21.When the author bought the plot of land in Shelbina, _. A. it was well equipped B. he was unsatisfied with it C. it was not a real estate D. he worked very hard on it22. The underlined word “liberating” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by the word _. A. upset B. interesting C. free D. boring23. The author regards buying the Missouri farm as a good idea because _. A. he was able to sell it at the price of $3,500 B. he could recall plenty of experiences in his own farm C. he got the chance to meet his wife working at a church in Shelbina then D. he could purchase another house in Illinois as a result of successful farmingBIt was New Years Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his sad eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies (百合) on the surface of a clear calm lake. Then he cast them on the earth, where few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain goal - the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regret. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant, his heart sorrowful, and his old ages short of comforts. The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads - one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and filled with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and poisonous snakes hissed (发出嘶嘶声) and crawled.He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “Oh youth, return! Oh, my father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and Ill choose the better way!” But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life together with him. But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this New Years Night.The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and he burst out a desperate cry: “Come back, my early days! Come back!”And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Years Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.Those who still wander on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: “Oh youth, return! Oh, give me back my early days!”24. Which of the following best shows the theme of this passage? A. Its never too late for one to mend his way. B. One false step can lead to a great error. C. Its too late to regret when a bad choice is made. D. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.25. Which of the following about the man is NOT true? A. In the dream, he was one of the most hopeless people approaching death. B. His father once allowed him the freedom to choose the way to life. C. He remembered his loving parents and joyful friends in his dream. D. Though he did nothing wrong, the dream taught him a good lesson.26. Which of the following show the mans feelings in his dream? a. sad b. sorrowful c. peaceful d. painful e. angry f. regretful g. shameful h. joyful i. desperateA. abcdfg B. abdfgi C. adefgi D. bdfghiC It used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan a character from James Matthew Barries 1911 book said:“All children, except one, grow up.” But this “fact” doesnt seem to apply to todays world anymore. According to the NPD Group, a US market research company, sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2016, three times the pace of the childrens toy market itself. These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets to vehicle models and action figures. And more than half of the sales came from millennials people born between the 1980s and 2000s. “Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,” commented website Koreaboo. This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as “kidults”. According to Frederique Tutt, an analyst at NPD, the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of todays fast-paced world. They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by, say, getting a promotion, which is far less easy to achieve. “It reminds me of the playful side of life,” Rob Willner, a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK, told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego, which he said brings him both comfort and entertainment. Despite this, some social scientists see the trend as disturbing. To Frank Furendi, a professor at the University of Kent in the UK, the fact that so many adults are pursuing “the thrills of youth” is the evidence that “adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore”, he told The New York Times. “Thats actually quite sad.” But scientists are probably just worrying too much. According to Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane, collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality. “Its just pop culture stuff. Its stuff that says, I like a little of this and I like a little of that,” he told ABC News. “Its no big deal.” So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan, perhaps its time to introduce a new “fact”, as stated in the tagline (标语) of the UK fashion brand KIDULT: “Growing old is mandatory (被迫的), but growing up is optional.”27. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply? A. Something old is not suitable for a new world. B. Many adults still have some childlike features. C. All children grow up as they become adults. D. Its difficult for some children to grow up in todays world.28. Which of the following statements is true? A. Frederique Tutt believes that some adults enjoy playing with childrens toys to escape the stress. B. Rob Willner believes that the pleasure brought by toys is easier to achieve. C. Frank Furendi believes that the thrill of youth does not attract adults. D. Todd McFarlane is worrying too much about collecting toys.29. What is the writers attitude towards the trend of growing kidults? A. Supportive B. Doubtful C. Critical D. Indifferent30. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Growing Old Or Growing Up B. Toys Sales On The Rise C. Staying Young Forever D. Kidults In Fashion Again第二节（共 5 个小题；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。What is a big dream? 31 Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.The SelfImmediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego (自我) . Its there for protecting and should be listened to. 32 Most people are influenced by the inside voice. Thats why only a handful of people make their dreams come true. 33Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams wont come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.The WorldIf one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 34 In the past, big dreams were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreams just get laughed at.The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. 35 A. Family and friends.B. How big Dreams die.C. Does a big dream show ones failure?D. They simply fail until they succeed.E. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.F. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong.G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.第三部分:语言运用（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，掌握其大意，然后从第 36-55 各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该选项标号涂黑。 For me personally, I could write for days about many different situations where adversity (逆境) 36 my life.
