Now I just want to take it as my mood board, recording my life in another nation. Its quite an expected and challenging chance for me to spend one year in the USA. I am a little bit dependent person and easy to miss hometown. Therefore, I need to learn how to be independent and control myself in a sense.The first challenge is cooking. I cannot cook before as we, most young people, are treated well at home and eat in canteens or restaurants, while we have to learn cooking for ourselves since its not easy to overcome for me to eat fast food here every day. After the master and two-year PhD studies, I have grasped the skills for doing experiments, so I can cook not that badly via those “talents”. I felt so proud with my masterpieces.The second challenge is going outside. I live in a quite small city without subway, taxi or even public bus (except school catbus). Its quite inconvenient to live here without a car. However, I have no driving experience in China though I got the license six years ago. I dont want to spend such a long time to practice it. My friends are very friendly and they drive me to the supermarket and go hiking with me, which makes me a little bit upset or embarrassed as a “bubble” between she and her boyfriend. On the other side, the lack of taking public transportation experience made me so confused when I first went to NYC for a conference. Fortunately, I met several nice guys and they showed me the correct ways. I am looking forward to walking or transporting around on weekends.The third challenge is overcoming loneliness. Its hard to say why I may feel lonely even though I have Chinese roommates. I still cherish the dream last night that I went back to China even though for experiment purpose.I will work harder to realize my goal and return without any pity.21.

Going outside on weekends is a terrible thing for the writer. C. The writers friends helped her a lot when she went outside. D. The transport is quite convenient where the writer lives.24. What kind of person is the writer?A. Positive. B. Self-centered.C. Independent D. Weak-mindedBA bullying（欺凌）incident at a primary school in County Armagh, Northern Ireland should not be brushed off as “a joke that went too far”; rather, facts should be dug out and action should be taken to prevent similar events from happening on campus again, according to experts.Dr. Lewis-Snyder, a psychologist specializing in childrens growth issues, said schools should be careful about taking bullying incidents as mere tricks.“Instead, they should work to find out the root cause of the incident in a timely manner, guide the children involved to face and handle the incident in a correct way and teach them to behave properly to avoid-similar situations,” she said.She made the comments after a mother in Armagh posted a description on Face-book on Thursday of how her 11-year-old son was bullied at school, a top school in that area.The mother wrote that her fifth-grade son was the target of bullies who threw a toilet wastepaper basket at him, striking him in the head. The boy was also fooled by his classmates, she said, bringing on acute stress disorder, a mental illness caused by severe anxiety.The mother also wrote that the school described the incident as “a joke that went too far” and that the parents of the boy who threw the basket believed their son was “just being naughty”.The article went viral, with many internet users recalling being bullied at school.Dr. Lewis-Snyder said that schools and parents must pay more attention to the ethical（道德的）development and mental health of children, rather than just looking at their academic performance.The Department for Education, together with a group of other departments, released a series of guidelines last month offering advice on how to deal with the problem.On Saturday, the school involved released a statement on its social media account saying that it had talked to the parents on both sides and would make further efforts to achieve an outcome satisfactory to all parties. 25. What can we know from the mothers description?A. The schools didnt take the bullying incident seriously.B. The bullying incident caused little harm to her 11-year-old son.C.

The government should take action to stop such events happening on campus. D. Parents neednt care about their childrens academic performance.27. Whats the social reaction to the bullying incident?A.

Most internet users had the experience of being bullied at school.B. The school involved tried to keep the truth from the public .C. The school has taken measures to deal with the incident.D. All the school bullying incidents are caused by classmates conflicts.CMany editors have a rule that they will not even read stories that are not formatted and presented as requested in their Submission（投稿）Guidelines. Even if this policy is not stated, it affects their decision-making. There are a few reasonable reasons. A good editor likes to read all stories for the first time in the same format（格式）as the publication standard. A consistent format between manuscripts（手稿）removes distractions like unusual presentation and puts each manuscript on the same starting level, with the focus on content.Leading publications get thousands of submissions a year. Editor time is extremely valuable. Most editors enjoy finding gems among the manuscripts, but theyreallydislike reformatting (dont you prefer eating an elegant meal to washing dishes?). When an editor sees he will have to spend an extra half hour of precious time in reformatting, he subconsciously marks that submission down compared to other submissions of equal quality.Publications need to have consistency in formatting for all their published stories: letterform, type size, spacing, paragraph structure etc. This keeps the readers focus on the words and not their structure. Since editors dont have a choice to just accept a weirdly（古怪的）formatted story as it is, they are forced to either reformat or decline the submission.Publications use different software and other tools in their operations. Editors know what makes their system go smoothly. Many invisible software formatting structures between types of documents create disasters.Editors are not pedantic（迂腐的）. Their job is to find great material and expose those works to appreciative readers. Differently formatted manuscripts steal time away from that responsibility, which is bad for everyone. Editors love nothing more than finishing a read and thinking “Wow. A great story - AND its cut and paste!” 29. What can we learn about the editors from the passage? A. They dont need to read stories when choosing manuscripts. B. Good editors like to read all stories. C. They dont like washing dishes. D. What they care about most is the content of the stories.30. What does the underlined word “gems” refer to in the third paragraph? A. Precious Jewels B. Great stories. C. Creative formats. D. Amazing characters.31. What kind of manuscript is most likely to be refused? A. One with a weird format. B. One with a general letterform. C. One with attractive plots. D. One with no special structures.32. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How the editors usually work. B. Why publications need consistent format. C. Why the manuscripts format can influence the editors decision. D. The ways on how to format manuscripts.DA group of Chinese technicians, can be seen working hard among the watermelon fields in the blinding sunlight of Laos（老挝）every January. Two months later, these watermelons will be sent to Xian, the starting point of the Silk Road. Every autumn, these so-called “migratory birds（候鸟）” - technicians from Kouzhai village in southwestern Chinas Guizhou province - fly to Laos to plant watermelons and return to China next spring to start their own farm work. Yang Canxi, former Kouzhai village Party chief who is also an agricultural technician, said the village was lifted out of poverty through its strength in agricultural technology. He said Kouzhai village was the first to promote small-sized watermelons in the country, and it introduced a new technology to grow watermelons from the newly generated vines after harvesting the old ones, thus doubling the sale to 15,000 yuan, ($2,190) per unit area. In 1997, an official from Laos came to Yang for agricultural training. Twenty professionals were sent to provide watermelon planting skills services there, he said. “At that time, much of the land in Laos was dry and bare except for that used to grow rice. The locals saw technicians plant watermelon and even gave them the nickname of Chinese watermelon princes”, he said. Each technician earned roughly 10,000 yuan in the first year, which was increased to 40,000 yuan a year later. “Villagers flew into my office, asking to go abroad too,” he said. The business was soon expanded to Laos where Yang Guangyue, 50, and some friends decided to begin their own business in 2013. The local credit cooperative lent them 800,000 yuan to establish a 13-hectare watermelon base in Laos, which was expected to gain roughly two million yuan a year. “Laotians were also hired to work in the watermelon fields and they learned planting skills from us,” he said.Yang Canxi said now half of the income of Kouzhai village comes from this way of working. 33. Why do the technicians fly to Laos every year? A. Because they want to enjoy the warm sunlight of Laos. B. Because they need transport watermelons from Laos to Xian. C. Because they go to Laos to plant watermelons. D. Because their own land was dry and bare.34. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Both Laos and Kouzhai village benefit from planting watermelons. B. The income of the technicians doubled the next year in Laos. C. The technicians are called watermelon princes because they are handsome. D. Its hard to expand the business in Laos. 35. Whats the best title of the passage?A. “Birds” fly out to work in Laos.B. Changes of Kouzhai village. C. Friendship between Kouzhai village and Laos. D. Watermelon planting in Kouzhai village.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,并将答案转涂到答题卡上。七个选项中有两项为多余选项（本次涂卡要求：E涂为AB；F涂为AC;G涂为AD） What is ecofashion? Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry. 36 Firstly, the production of textiles（纺织品）pollutes the environment heavily. Cottonplanting uses pesticides（杀虫剂）；sheepfarming and woolcleaning contribute to global warming；Secondly, every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment. They all use a great deal of energy, and some also involve chemicals which evidently do harm to the surroundings. 37 Thirdly, growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects. We are now so quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times. 38 To a large degree, it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future. There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint, from switching to green energy and reducing energy use, through selecting sustainable （可持续的）materials and choosing local suppliers, to recycle and minimize waste. 39 There is some concern that eco-friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow tired of but in fact, more and more people are concerning about this and we can make sure that doesnt happen. 40 A. Then, how to solve the problems?B. They relate directly to our personal health.C. Because choosing ecofashion can also contribute to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet. D. In addition to this, there is a lot of waste produced in the process, especially in the form of polluted water.E. The fashion industry has developed quickly. F. On the other hand, as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption. G. A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分35分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Last year, I taught in a special school where students have severe learning and behavioral difficulties.Another teacher and I had spent weeks teaching the children 41 behavior for public outings.
