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.CGoogle, hoping to put down a protest by employees upset that the technology they were working on could be used for deadly purposes, will not renew a contract with the Pentagon(五角大楼) for artificial intelligence work when a current deal expires next year. Diane Greene, who is the head of the Google Cloud business that won a contract with the Pentagons Project Maven, said during a weekly meeting with employees Friday that the company was backing away from its AI work with the military, according to a person familiar with the discussion but not permitted to speak publicly about it. Googles work with the Defense Department on the Maven program, which uses artificial intelligence to interpret video images and could be used to improve the targeting of drone strikes, riled the internet giants workforce. About 4,000 Google employees signed a petition(请愿书) demanding “a clear policy stating that neither Google nor its contractors will ever build warfare technology,” and a handful of employees resigned in protest. The money for Google in the Project Maven contract was never large by the standards of a company with profit of $110 billion last year $9 million, one official told employees, or a possible $15 million over 18 months, according to an internal email. But some company officials saw it as an opening to much greater revenue down the road. In an email last September, a Google official in Washington told colleagues she expected Maven to grow into a $250 million-a-year project, and eventually it could have helped open the door to contracts worth far more.28.What does the underlined word “renew” most probably mean?A.fix B.sign C.recover D.extend the period of time29.Why did Google employees go on rebellions protest?A.Because they were not paid enough.B.Because they thought Google should go on cooperate with Pentagon.C.Because they thought the company cheated them about the Maven Project.D.Because they thought Google should end the cooperation on a warfare technology with Pentagon.30.The last two paragraphs are aimed to _.A.show what else Google could do to make moneyB.show what consisted of the revenue of Google last yearC.show what big loss of revenue Googles decision of giving up the cooperation with Pentagon will causeD.show the money that the Project Maven contract Google brought last year was not large by the standards of a company with revenue of $110 billion last year31.What can we infer from the article?A.Google chose humanity over profit.B.The employees rebellions didnt work at all.C.Pentagon will definitely give Google a big lesson.D.Google is a company that is not qualified enough in the field of AI technology.D If youre a yoga lover, youve probably noticed the ways yoga works youre sleeping better, getting fewer colds or just feeling more relaxed and at ease. But if youve ever tried telling a beginner how it works, you might find explanations like “It increases the flow of prana” or “It brings energy up your spine” fall on skeptical ears. As it happens, Western science is starting to provide some concrete clues about how yoga works to improve health, heal aches and pains, and prevent sicknesses. Once you understand them, youll have even more motivation to step onto your mat. I myself have experienced yogas healing power in a very real way. Weeks before a trip to India in 2002 to investigate yoga therapy, I developed numbness and tingling (刺痛) in my right hand. After first considering scary things like a brain tumor and multiple sclerosis, I figured out that the cause of the symptoms was thoracic outlet syndrome, a nerve blockage in my neck and chest. Despite the uncomfortable symptoms, I realized how useful my condition could be during my trip. While visiting various yoga therapy centers, I would submit myself for evaluation and treatment by the various experts, try their suggestions and see what worked for me. Thanks to the techniques I learned in India, advice from teachers in the United States, and my own exploration, my chest is more flexible than it was, my posture has improved, and for more than a year, Ive been free of symptoms. My experience inspired me to dig into the scientific studies that Id collected in India as well as the West to identify and explain how yoga can both prevent disease and help you recover from it.32.What is the author probably?A.A teacher. B.A doctor. C.A journalist. D.A salesman.33.Which will further motivate a yoga beginner to step onto the mat?A.Personal feelings. B.Professional terms.C.Western medicine. D.Scientific evidence.34.What does the author mainly base on to persuade people to practise yoga?A.His own experience. B.Experts evaluation.C.Teachers suggestions. D.Practitioners exploration.35.What might the text be followed by?A.Scientific studies you should do. B.Ways yoga improves your health.C.The authors trip to India. D.The authors recovery from illness.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。If youre having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning, waking up more than once, for example), this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful nights sleep.1.Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. 36For example, if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work, you might go to bed around 10 pm, because thats when you start to feel sleepy, and its also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If, on the weekend, you sleep until 9 am, you probably wont be able to fall asleep that night until 1am.2.Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.37Digestion slows down while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. Similarly, you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach, as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.3.38Exposure to light during the time when youre supposed to be sleeping can destroy your bodys internal clock. Turn your light off, or use a very dim(暗淡的)night light. 39They include windows, LED clocks and computer lights.4.Change your sleeping position. You may think that it s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you arent fully aware of what you are doing, but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. 40A.If you wake up at midnight, make an effort to have a comfortable position.B.In other words, sudden change of sleeping time will affect your biological clock.C.Sleep is considered to be enough only when there is no daytime sleepiness.D.Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep.E.Make note of unusual circumstances.F.Keep the room as dark as possible.G.Try to avoid all sources of light.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。 This year I decided to do something to regain my good name as a kindly uncle. My 41 , Tony , had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year. His 42 had no reason to be thankful to me either, because the year before, I had 43 their dear son with a pot of paste(浆糊) and some funny pictures. Instead of 44 them into a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them. This year, 45 , I decided to let him 46 for himself. We went into a big shop, but Tony was very particular about 47 . Altho
