Washington teacher Tammie Schrader is so enthusiastic about computer games in education that she thinks they can be used to teach programming skills which will help students in college- starting in middle school.Canadian teacher Justin Holladay wrote a few simple games to help his students practise math skills, and when they caught on, he started his own company to create more of them.And the University of Washingtons Zoran Popovic got more than 4,000 Washington students to master their lessons this spring by playing a computer game for just a few hours.The growing availability(可获得性) of inexpensive tablet computers and a new generation of young teachers who grew up playing on computers have spurred (激发)interest in games for serious purpose.“Six or seven years ago, selling games to schools was forbidden,” said David Martz of Muzzy Software, a Boston, US Company that produces games for publishers such as McGraw-Hill. Now he said schools are interested in the promise of games-perhaps because gaming is so much more popular.Software and education companies have tried for many years to combine youngsters passion for computer games with educational progress, without much success.Popovic thinks the first efforts to combine games with education fell flat because they were created by commercial companies. These companies were more interested in selling products than seeing students master a skill.Teachers say there are some pretty good games in the marketplace now.Holladay, the math teacher from Alberta, Canada, began moving paper-based math games to the iPad, building games that allowed students to compete with each other and giving them instant feedback(反馈) on their progress.The games reinforced (强化) the lessons he was teaching, and his students had fun playing, he said. “They were a lot more engaged(参与)”.21. What factors have helped promote computer games in schools according to the article?a. The affordability of tablet computers.b. The preferences of young teachersc. The advertisements of commercial companiesd. Parents supporte. Better games being producedA. a, c, d B. a, b, e C. b, c, d D. b. d. e22. What is Holladays attitude to the idea of using computer games in class?A. It is not as helpful as people thought. B. He allows students to learn in a fun way. C. It reduces the interaction between teachers and students.D. It sounds good but is inconvenient to get feedback from students.23. What does “fell flat” in Paragraph7 mean?A. Ended up in failure. B. Lost plenty of money.C. Was a huge success. D. Gained wide popularity. BBritish children generally learn how to ride a bike at a young age. I am an exception to that rule. Its not my dads faulthe tried to teach me. I remember cycling around the neighbourhood. To be honest, though, I never saw the appeal. One of my earliest memories is falling from my bike and into some spiny(多刺的) plants. I definitely didnt want to repeat that.So I stopped learning. My dad wasnt going to waste his time teaching someone who didnt want to be taught. Time passed and I accepted that I couldnt ride a bike. It never affected my life in high school because I lived close enough to walk.I never felt like I was missing out until I couldnt go on a bike ride with friends in Byron Bay because I was only confident that I could go on a flat surface in a generally straight line. So when the opportunity came up to bike the wall of Xian, I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it and make up for missed time. So, with a friend who is very patient, I got on the bike. Instantly nothing came flooding back to me, I had absolutely no idea how to start! “Push off with one foot hard” was my instruction. It sounded simple enough but it just would not happen. Until something clicked and suddenly I was off, going in a straight line on a flat surface and managing to avoid the Chinese tourists who obviously found exaltation on my face.At 22 years old, I finally learnt how to ride a bike, and nothing can hold me back.24. Why didnt the author learn to ride a bike as a child?A. She was not brave enough.B. There was no need to do so. C. Her father was too busy to teach her.D. Her father thought it a waste of time25. When was she determined to learn to ride?A. When her friend offered to teach her how to ride.B. When her friends went on a bike ride in Byron Bay. C. When she wanted to ride a bike along Xian City Wall.D. When she was travelling by bike in Byron Bay with her friends.26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exaltation” in the Paragraph3 ?A. interest B. shock C. calmness D. excitement27. What can we conclude from the story?A. Motivation is the best teacher. B. Failure is the mother of success.C. No rule has no exceptions. D. Its never too old to learn.CIndian scientists have designed a new device and they hope it will solve one of the biggest problems with the use of solar energy. They call the device a solar tree. Solar trees have metal branches which are just from a tall pole at different levels. Each branch holds a solar panel. These panels(面板) have large metal boards that collect energy from the sun and turn it into electricity.The shape of the solar trees makes it possible to fit more solar panels in a space than traditional systems do. This means less land would be needed to produce solar energy. It takes about four square meters of space to produce energy which may otherwise need 400 square meters of space. So almost 100 times the space is saved, which is very valuable.Buying land to develop roads, factories and other infrastructure(基础设施) has been a troublesome issue in India. Disagreements often lead to protests(抗议) by those forced to move.Scientists believe the energy a solar tree collects will be enough to power five homes. The space-saving tree will make it easier to provide solar energy for homes in cities, they say. The trees will also take less space from farmers in rural areas. Solar trees will collect more energy than normal panels on the tops of buildings.India is the worlds third largest producer of greenhouse gases. The country promised to reduce its rate of greenhouse gas production at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Paris last year. India said, by 2030, it would reduce its rate of greenhouse gas production by one third over its levels in 2005. The countrys promise depends heavily on increasing solar energy. India has set a difficult goal of getting 40 percent of its total energy from renewable sources by 2030. 28. What is unique about the new solar device?AIts color. BThe way it works.CIts shape. DThe place where it is fixed.29. Whats the major advantage of the solar device?A. Its price is lower. B. It can work in rainy weather. C. It sends electricity directly to farmers. DIt takes up less land and produce more electricity.30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “troublesome” in Paragraph 3 ?A. new B. major C. special D. difficult31. Why is the greenhouse gas production mentioned in the text?A. The warming climate gets serious.B. The solar device can help reduce it.C. India has a difficult task to complete.D. India will mainly use the new energy.DRome, Paris and New York are the worlds top fashion cities, all of which have produced some of the top trends, from high-low skirts to the hottest new shoes. But have you ever wondered about the negative ideas that theyve produced?In April 2017, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in Britain banned an ad from Gucci that featured models dancing around and having fun because they were all extremely thin. Banning ads due to unhealthy weight isnt new. The ASA banned an ad in 2016 for the same reason. In France, it has been a rule that models are to provide a doctors note proving that they are at healthy weight.So what is healthy weight for models? Twenty years ago, the average fashion model weighed 8% less than average weight. Today, it weighs 23% less. When is it okay for anyone including models to weigh less than average?The images of models promote the idea that being at unhealthy weight will help one gain the richness and the benefits that the models do. This provides a standard of beauty and richness; therefore, people who want to achieve those things may attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways. People may think that they are overweight, due to the images of models thin figures. They see something wrong with their bodies, whether they are overweight or not. This is a key factor to a lowered body image, low self esteem(自尊) depression and possibly even eating disorders.Im not blaming the fashion industry by any means. Its not their fault that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like theirs. Im glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing issue of body images in the fashion industry. By banning the photos and videos, speaking out against them and requesting them to provide doctors notes, its pushing for the idea that the traditional fashion industrys body image demands should be questioned and changed. 32. Why was one of Guccis ads banned?A. Its models had unhealthy weight.B. None of its models had a doctors note.C. Its models didnt act according to the rules.D. Its models were dancing in an unhealthy way.33. The figures mentioned in Paragraph 3 show that _.A. people dont know when models weigh lessB. many women are on a diet to become modelsC. healthy weight for models hasnt been decidedD. models are becoming thinner as time goes by34. The possible purpose of the NSAs measures is to _.A. stress the importance of healthy weightB. voice peoples opinions of models body imagesC. introduce new standards of models body imagesD. challenge traditional standards in the fashion industry35. What is the authors tone of writing this text?A. Objective. B. Humorous. C. Negative. D. Critical.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。Are you afraid of math? If yes, you arent alone. A dislike of math can begin as early as first grade, and be with you for life. 36 Actually, more and more people get uninterested in math at school.If you suffer from math anxiety, it isnt because you “just have no ability to study math well”; it is because, at some point, someone or something destroyed your confidence. 37 However, if you work hard to gain confidence again, youll have the ability to understand as much math as you need to. 38 For this, you should learn differently. For example, check out books from the library or study on the Internet to master the fundamental(基本的) principles. Do exercises you can do without a struggle to build up your confidence. It is also very important to actually understand what the formula (公式) is about, and why you are using that formula instead of another one.Though you may feel it difficult to study math well, dont give up so easily. You can begin by preparing for the class ahead of time. 39 Take excellent notes and read them after class. Do all the required homework and exercises at the recommended time. 40 Also you can turn to classmates who study math very well.In short, the ability to be good at math isnt born with, and you have to try hard, start early, and give yourself permission to fail.A. Ask questions during class.B. Math is useful in our daily life.C. It is quite common at all age levels.D. If you still need help, ask for help from teachers. E. Fortunately, the fear of math can be overcome.F. In a word, whatever learning method speaks to you, use it.G. If you think you are bad at math, youll probably be bad at math.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，从短文后各题所给四个选项（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。Tom is a fifth grader at a middle school in Peoria, Illinois.
