the extra paychecks were nice, but i lacked the energy of my younger colleagues. like stella. she was in her early twenties, and made keeping up with the kids look effortless. she reminded me of myself, back when i was a bright-eyed student teacher at ramona elementaryid never forget my first day. i was too full of energy. nervous energy. my supervising teacher was watching, and i wanted to make a good impression. i asked my third graders to take out their crayons for the days lesson. all of them obeyed. except one. a girl with two long, dark braids(辫子). everyone called her estrellita, or “little star.” why was she unprepared for class? i demanded to know.“my sister has my crayons,” she said.“you should each have your own crayons,” i told her. “thats no excuse.”“there are 10 children in my family,” estrellita said quietly, her big brown eyes never leaving my face. “we have to take turns.”i was taken aback. id completely misjudged the situation. all day estrellitas words played on my mind. the next morning i bought a pack of crayons to leave on estrellitas desk. she was so happy! that experience taught me an important lesson. every student had a unique set of challengesit was my mission to help my students overcome them. that mission used to energize(激励 )me.rest was almost over. stella turned to me and we started chatting. “how long have you been teaching?” she asked. i told her id started twenty years before, at ramona elementary.“i went to school there twenty years ago!” stella said. i looked at her again, this time really seeing her. those big brown eyes. that long, dark hair.“did you use to have two long braids?” i said. “we called you estrellita ”stella shouted. “ you ! you gave me the crayons!”shed become a teacher. to help students like i did. even doing something that small mattered.that summer, i threw myself into teaching with a renewed sense of purpose. estrellita had taught me a lesson once again.24. how did the author feel according to paragraph 1?a. she felt relaxed.b. she felt very tired.c. she was still excited.d. she was proud of herself.25. why didnt estrellita take out her crayons?a. she had to share them.b. she was being naughty.c. she forgot to bring them.d. she lost them before the class.26. which can replace the underlined part “taken aback” in paragraph 6?a. fairly serious. b. quite pleased. c. very surprised. d. extremely angry.27. what did the author learn through stella?a. never make excuses. b. why her job mattered.c. how to be a good teacher. d. to be a giver, not a receiver.cit was saturday morning. i heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room. i could almost feel the excitement of john who was soon going to get a room of his own. i remember my own feelings when i was 13. i knew how much he longed for his right to privacy (私人空间) when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, robot. he said, “mum, can i please have a room of my own? i could use jeffs. he wont mind.” it was true that jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. but would he mind? the room was the place where i told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. as close as we were, though, the time came when jeff needed a door between us. his life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. i no longer could-or should-know everything about him.it turned out that getting jeffs permission was easy. he said, “of course, mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it.” then his voice softened, “mum, i wont be living at home again-you know that.” behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. there were no doors closed here-they had all opened up again.as john and i were cleaning the room, i fixed my eyes on jeffs things around me and could almost touch the little boy who i knew was gone forever. i looked at the room and, in my heart, i let it go. to hold on would be, as jeff said, selfish. now it was time for john, shouldering through the door, his eyes bright with promise of independence, to disappear behind the door. it was time for letting go to happen again.28. how did john feel when he finally got a room of his own?a. scared. b. confused. c. excited. d. anxious.29. the underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means “_”.a. jeff finally flew out of the house b. jeff needed his right to privacyc. jeff would have less to do with his family d. jeff got tired of those familiar stories30. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. john was sharing a room with jeff.b. john was moving to live with his brother.c. jeff agreed to let his brother have his room.d. jeff disliked living with his parents.31. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. the children did not like to live with adultsb. all her three kids made the author feel depressedc. none of the members in the family thought the same wayd. the author loved and missed the time together with her kids dthe bike-sharing companies that are powering a transportation revolution in chinas urban centers are not like those in the rest of the world. their bikes have no docking ports or assigned zones for parking. instead, riders open their smartphone apps, hop on, and start riding. so easy!in 2015, ofo, chinas bike-share pioneer, launched its first fleet of bicycles in beijing. the bikes bright yellow frames were soon met by the orange-rimmed（镶边）, basket-equipped models launched by mobike, ofos main competitor today. in little over a year, the two companies have had a huge impact on revitalizing (重振) cycling in china, particularly among young people.ofo placed 1 million bicycles across 35 cities and registered 15 million users in its first years, while mobike has now gained more than 10 million unique users and bicycles in 21 cities. inspired by their success, at least 10 other companies have jumped into the market, launching their own app-powered, brightly colored bikes in quick succession. but mobike and ofo are far ahead of them.the two industry leaders each take a different marketing method to a similar product. the mobike app uses gps to display bikes locations to users. they can use the map to reserve a bike and walk over to it. a scan of the bikes qr code (二维码) unlocks the bike, and when users manually（手动地） lock the bike at the end of their trip, the app records the trips end and the bike will pop back up on the map as available. equipped with this wireless technology, mobikes cost between 1,000 and 3,000 yuan. rides cost 1 yuan for an hour or a half hour, depending on whether a user chooses a “lite” or regular bike, and the deposit (押金) required to the service is 299 yuan.ofo, meanwhile, is devoted not just to producing its own bikes, which have slim yellow bodies and cost about 250 yuan, but also to connecting existing bikes to its network- a philosophy that begins with the practice of 2000 bikes offered to a campus bike-share program. the 2000 bikes were the first generation of ofo. yet the majority of the companys bikes are currently ones that have been specially manufactured and fitted with their lock system. unlike mobike,ofo bikes themselves are offline: their locations are tracked through users cell phones. users find a free bike, enter the license plate number into their app, and receive the bike unlock code. when they have reached their destination, they end the ride on the app and manually lock the bike. rides cost 1 yuan for an hour and the deposit is 99 yuan.32. which of the following statements is true according to the passage? a. the bike rides based on apps are available whenever you need. b. the bike body in bright color only attracts young people to choose cycling. c. ofo knows their bikes location by scanning the bikes qr code. d. the bikes are locked automatically when the users reached their destination.33. which of the following is close to the meaning of the underlined word “succession ”in the 3rd paragraph? a. successful experience. b. movement to action. c. continuous process . d. production line.34. how are ofo bikes different from mobikes? no need for online condition. without their own lock system. not only to produce ofo bikes but also put existing ones to use. to unlock the bike through app. to lock the bike by qr code a. b. c. d. 35. what is the best title of the passage? a. bike-sharing business models: mobike and ofo. b. a real transportation innovation（创新）: app-powered bicycles. c. the successful secret of two bike-sharing companies. d. cool experience of app-powered bicycles.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。i think the majority of people would agree that its unhealthy to live in the past. after all, were all familiar with the new age philosophy, “yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. 36 . living in the past holds us back from being able to enjoy the present moment. but are there any benefits of revisiting a previous time? actually, yes. the past has several advantages:learning from our mistakes: we all know that poor choices can be some of lifes greatest teachers. 37 . 38 : by revisiting an unfavorable event from our past, we can often view it from a different perspective as time has passed. being older and wiser, we are now able to reevaluate the experience and gain deeper insights and understandings of what happened and why, and how it has impacted us since. what once scarred us can now be healed through a newly-found awareness and no longer be a negative force in our lives.motivated by earlier successes: 39 . other times life has been difficult. remembering the past when we were at our best can help motivate us out of our current slump(低谷) and put us back on track for success. use your past successes to propel(推动) you on to newer and greater things.while its evident that revisiting the past has several advantages, there is a warning. just like an amusement park, its fine to visit but you cannot stay there forever. at some point, the park closes and all visitors are asked to leave. enjoy the past when necessary but dont always stay there. use it for living in the present and planning for the future. 40 .a. moving beyondb. thats why its called the presentc. in that way, it will serve you welld. see the mistakes as a step on the road to a solutione. there are times when we have all enjoyed success on a variety of levelsf. recalling times when we made mistakes can help us make better future decisionsg. so, failure is the mother of success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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（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。ive always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others have their own ways of showing care.what i 41 most about visiting my boyfriends parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 42 ate our mealwith so little conversation i was quick to regard his family as 43 when we got into the car to go home, his father suddenly appeared 44 , he began to wash his sons windscreeni could feel he is a 45 man through the glass.i learned another lesson about 46 a few years latermy father often 47 me early in the morning“buy xeroxits a good sharp price,” he might say when i answered the phoneno pleasant 48 or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. this manner of his angered me and we often 49 but one day, i thought about my fathers success in business and realized that his 50 for my financial security lay behind his short morning callsthe next time he called and told me to buy a stock，i 51 himwhen my social style has 52 with that of my friends, ive often felt disappointedfor example, i always return phone calls 53 and regularly contact my friendsi expect the same from themi had one friend who 54 called, answering my messages with short e-mailsi rushed to the 55 : she wasnt a good friend! my anger grew as the holidays approachedbut then she came to a gathering i 56 and handed me a beautiful dress i had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous monthi was shocked at her
