I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, Take your shoes away! Why under my bed! Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing.Obviously, that was something she should not go through. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart,Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books,made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didnt noticed Kate had sat up.She was watching, her tears dried and her expression showed her disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine.

My Friend Kate B. Hard Work Pays OffC. How to Be Organized D. Learning to Be RoommatesCOur modern world is full of advertisements. They have only one goal-to make a product so attractive that the consumer（消费者）feels a need or desire to have it. Children and teens need to understand the powerful attraction advertising can create. They have to learn to tell the difference between what they truly need and what they want. We need to teach our children that advertising exists so that many big companies can make money. Advertisers use powerful methods to convince（说服）consumers to buy their products.We must teach our children how the media need paid advertising to stay on the air or to continue publishing. We need to show how advertising can convince people to want something even if they dont really need it. We should discuss this when we or our loved ones are faced with advertising whether on television, on radio, in newspapers, in magazines or on billboards.We can discuss how advertising tries to make you feel better about yourself if you buy a certain product or convince you that other people will like you better or think youre cool. We should explain that shopping should not be seen as a fun pastime, but rather something people do to buy items they need. Explain the differences between need and want.Help your children observe how many times a day families are exposed to advertising. For example, there are ads on the sides of buses, on radio and television, on billboards. Teach them to understand when a television or radio station tells you to contact them or visit their websites, that they are only doing so to create “hits” to their own sites to help increase their revenue for future ads from other companies.Show our youth that advertising tries to create an image of what a person should or should not look like even though this image does not reflect reality.Here is the frightening thing. Do we yet know the difference? How often do we take the time to teach our own children about it?28. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3 .A. people feel confused（困惑的）with so many advertisementsB. consumers dont buy what they dont really needC. advertising has little influence on peoples valuesD. the media need paid advertisements to survive29. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “revenue” in Paragraph 5 .A. Exchange B. Popularity C. Profession D. Income30. Why does the author ask some questions at the end?A. To collect answers from readers.B. To make his writing more convincing.C. To encourage readers to think carefully about the problem.D. To call readers attention to the problem discussed.31. What is the authors attitude towards advertisements .A. Doubtful B. Negative C. Neutral D. SupportiveDTraditional Chinese medicine(TCM) isnt supported by most Westerners. However, this is starting to change. TCM will be included in the new version (版本) of the International Classification of Diseases(ICD), which will be published by the World Health Organization in 2019, Nature magazine reported.This is the first time of TCM to be included in to ICD, which serves as“the international standard for diseases and health conditions,”according to China Daily.Ryan Abbott at the Center for East-West Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, US, said this could benefit TCM.The inclusion of TCM in the ICD“is a mainstream (主流的) acceptance that will have significant impact around the world”, Abbott told Nature.TCM has seen some growth in other countries, with a number of famous people being known to use it. For example, during the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, US swimmer Michael Phelps was seen with circular (圆形的) bruises on his body. Such bruises are caused by cupping (拔火罐), a traditional Chinese medicinal practice that has been around for more than 2,000 years.In 2015, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery of artemisinin (青蒿素), a drug that can cure malaria (疟疾). She said she was inspired by traditional Chinese medicine.China has made some efforts to promote TCM overseas. Twenty-six TCM centers were set up overseas over three years, according to a 2017 report published by Xinhua News Agency.TCM still faces many challenges, such as a lack of clinical (临床的) evidence as to precisely how it works, according to China Daily.“Not subject to (遵照)Western testing standards such as randomized (随机的) controlled clinical trialsTCMs effectiveness has been difficult to study or provide evidence for,” according to CNN.Some say that TCM methodology should be combined with modern scientific methods to make it more acceptable to people outside of China.“Tried and tested over thousands of years, the effectiveness of TCM is clear,” Lu Chuanjian, vice-president of the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, told China Daily.”“Now we need to use modern technology and ways of thinking to explain to the world how TCM works on specific diseases and prove that it can cure diseases,”Lu added.32. What do we know about TCM?A. It is not widely accepted in Western countries.B. Chinese scientists have found many ways to prove that it works.C. Hundreds of TCM centers have opened overseas in recent years.D. TCM has inspired many Nobel Prize winners.33.What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 3 refer to? A. TCMs inclusion in the ICD. B. The application of modern technologyC. Westerners positive view on TCM. D. The global health trend.34. Why did the author mention Phelps example? A. To explain what TCM can be used for.B. To show TCM is gaining popularity in some countries.C. To show cupping is the most acceptable form of TCM.D. To prove the effectiveness of TCM.35. What does Lu suggest to make TCM more acceptable overseas? A. Inviting foreign celebrities to try it.B. Setting up TCM hospitals outside of China.C. Combining it with modern technology.D. Providing more TCM classes overseas.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。Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear people speaking Chinese aloud. 36 After walking into a store, its possible that youll see Huawei-smartphones for sale.This isnt referring to China, but Manchester, UK. 37 Indeed, Chinese products have gone global. 38 But to meet local peoples tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes.“One example is the meat,”said Yin Hang, who is studying at the University of Wollongong in Australia.“We like to eat meat with the bone in, but people here dont. So Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish.” 39 In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers, reported Reuters.More than half of US-owned drones(无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. Theyre not simply made in China, but designed and developed in the country.In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But things have changed greatly. 40 For example, Huawei, one of Chinas major smartphone makers, overtook Apple in global smartphone sales for the first time in June and July last year, behind only Samsung, noted consulting(咨询) firm Counterpoint Research.“They are beautiful and offer some unique features American phones dont have,”CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.A. Many Chinese brands are also becoming more popular.B. What is the biggest problem with many Chinese brands?C. Turning to the right, you may see a Sichuanstyle restaurant.D. Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time.E. “Made in China”has become cool and more people trust Chinese brands.F. Meanwhile, international brands are still enjoying great success in China.G. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities around the world.第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分55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。Once again, I was in a new school.
