阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（abc和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。along long ago, a man was traveling on a mountain when he found an incredible cave with all kinds of treasure inside it. so he gave up his job, his home, and his friends, and spent all his time guarding the cave.he was so devoted to it that he hardly ate or drank, and before long he fell ill. one day, when he could hardly move at all, he decided to share the treasure.he crawled into the cave to get a handful of jewels, but discovered, to his horror, that it was empty except for a small jewel. the man took it and gave it to the first person to come by, a woman.then an old man came by. “what bad luck！” the man said. “just a moment ago i gave a woman the last of the treasure i was guarding.”“are you sure there is nothing left？” the old man asked. the man took him into the cave, where they found a chest with jewels and some bags of gold. the man was shocked, and the old man explained to him, “at last! at last! at last someone has broken the spell of this cave. this is the cave of treasure, and youre the first to have passed its great test. many have dedicated their lives to this cave, only to end up realizing there was nothing here”“and why does this happen？” the man asked.“this magic cave has only as many riches as your own heart. when someone discovers it, the cave fills with the treasure they bring with them, but later, when they have devoted themselves to guarding the treasure, their hearts become empty. so does the cave. the only way to fill it is by filling your heart with all that is good, as you did by giving the woman that last jewel.”from that day on, the man understood that it was better to share than to keep. thanks to the cave and the old man, he became noble and generous.21why did the man give up his job, home and friends?abecause he possessed a variety of treasure.bbecause he devoted himself to a great test.cbecause he wanted to find the treasure cave.dbecause he had to guard the treasure cave. 22what did the man find when he showed his cave to the old man? aall kinds of valuable treasure. ba small jewel.ca chest with jewels and gold. da handful of jewels. 23what do we learn about the people who dedicated their lives to the cave before?athe old man freed them from its spell.bthey all found the cave empty at last.cthey all filled the cave with the treasure they had.dthey thought it was better to share than to enjoy the treasure alone.24what can we learn from the text?apurely material things cannot make us truly wealthy.btreasure only belongs to those who possess it.csome people never learn what is really valuable.ddifferent people have different views.sixteen years ago ,an idea occurred to me that i would start amazon. i came across the fact that the internet usage was growing at 2，300 per cent per year. id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. i had just turned 30 years old, and id been married for a year. i told my wife mackenzie that i wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most startups dont, and i wasnt sure what to expect. mackenzie told me i should go for it. as a young boy, id been a garage inventor. id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.i was working at a financial firm in new york city with a bunch of very smart people, and i had a brilliant boss that i much admired. i went to my boss and told him i wanted to start a company selling books on the internet. he took me on a long walk in central park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “that sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job.” that logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but eventually, i decided i had to give it a shot. i didnt think id regret trying and failing.and i suspected i would always be haunted by a decision to not try at allafter much consideration, i took the less safe path to follow my passion, and im proud of that choice. for all of us, in the end, we are our choices.25what inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?ahis dream of being an inventor.bthe support of his wife.cmillions of exciting titles.dthe greatly increasing usage of the internet.26which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?ahe would be very excited if he tried it out.bthe idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him. che would be always having a doubt if he didnt try.dthe decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.27we can know from the passage that _athe boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorbthe author wanted someone else to try the ideacthe author might go back to his boss if he faileddthe author might not regret if he failed the idea28which of the following would be the best title for the passage?awe are what we choose bthe starting of amazoncfollowing my passion dcleverness and kindness c more new words are entering chinese characters . tuhao is one of them, which approximately translated means newly rich. it has been referred to frequently on social media since early september.people are using it to describe everything from the new peoples daily building, to expensive weddings, and new gold-colored iphones.in chinese tu means earth and hao means rich. to say someone is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background, and have made it rich quick but dont quite have the qualification to deserve it. its like the term newly rich, says professor steve tsang at the school of contemporary chinese studies in nottingham - but has even more negative meanings, suggesting a certain vulgarity(粗俗).actually ,tuhao isnt a new word, dating from perhaps as far as the southern dynasty 1,500 years ago, but it has always meant something rather different. during the communist revolution, from the 1920s to early 1950s, it was widely used to refer to landholders who would bully(欺凌) those beneath them.new content of this word went around in september after a widely-shared joke about a rich, but unhappy man, who goes to a buddhist monk for advice, expecting to be told to live a more simple life. the monk replies instead with the phrase: tuhao, lets be friends!chinese netizens are quite creative in their use of language, and are constantly inventing, and re-creating words as a way of getting past censorship(审查) rules. but in this case, its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it expresses chinas changing society so well many people sneer at those with wealth, but are secretly envying.29. the most suitable title of this passage may be _?a. the long history of tuhaob. tuhao, a new popular word in chinac. the new usage of tuhaod. tuhao, a newly-invented chinese word30. the statement below that cant be considered as “tuhao”is _a. a buddhist monk.b. a bully landholderc. a quick-rich peasant without proper qualification.d. a vulgar newly rich31. the last but one paragraph mainly tells us _.a. what the new usage of the word isb. why the unhappy man went to the buddhist monkc. how the word becomes popular againd. what advice the monk gave the unhappy man32. what does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?a. respect b. envy c. suspect d. laugh dour society is developing as usual, and with it, the choice of food and drink for kids is more diversified than ever before. however, every coin has two sides. many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the statistics. i feel there are a number of reasons for this. some blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty food, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. this has turned out a whole generation of grownups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. if there were fewer of these restaurants then probably children would buy less takeaway food.there is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. i agree to this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. if children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty food every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives. there is a third reason for this situation. children these days take very little exercise. they do not walk to school. when they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers. not only is this an unhealthy entertainment, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. what they need is to go outside and play active games or sports. the above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active as well as guide them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.33 the author suggested a way to deal with overweight_.ablaming the shops selling unhealthy and fatty food.basking young children to walk to school every day.cnot watching tv or playing computer games after school.dliving an active life and removing bad eating habits.34the author writes the passage to _ashow people a social problembprovide facts for the governmentccompare opinions of peopledadvise

任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据对话情景和内容，从对话后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。it is common for some of us to escape from the reality when unfortunate events fall on us. we try to forget the pain by pretending it doesnt exist, but although we can try all this we want, in the end, we cant hide from ourselves. 36 here are some ways you can open your heart more fully.1. face the musicwhenever a painful situation arises, try to accept it instead of running away. 37 by using our breath we soften our experiences. 2. hug the sufferings 38 we know how fear feels in our bodies: the tension in our necks, the tightness in our stomachs, etc. we can face these feelings of discomfort and let them show us where we need to go.3. spend time alone for most of our lives were surrounded by people: our friends, colleagues, peers, family members, loved ones, and strangers. how often do we really spend time alone? 39 you can truly open yourself and explore whatever youd like. the golden ticket here is not to let yourself become distracted; just see what its like to be alone.4. get outside of yourselfthis may seem a little contradictory to the last tip. 40 after youve explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. now, its time to share that not through telling others, but through being with others.a. we need to learn to open our hearts to the potential of life.b. youll add a new layer of depth and understanding into your life.c. we all know what anxiety feels like. d. when you spend time on your own, youre free from the influences of other people.e. however, in reality they work hand in hand. f. lose yourself in the beauty of others; see what they can teach you about yourself.g. when the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and face up to it.第三部分：英语知识运用（满分30分）完型填空（每小题1.5分，共计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。the other day , jackie went to a local supermarket in her car. her shopping list was _41_ and her
