13、since I was young, and knowing that motorcycle-related culture is very popular in the US, I decided to take a trip. Along with my wife and a group of fellow enthusiasts, I participated in a 15-day tour in October last year. We had one free day, so I headed to Las Vegas.Before arriving in the US, I r

14、esearched a range of materials about riding a motorbike there. I also found some classic recommended routes on Chinese websites related to Harley Davidson clubs.With the help of their suggestions, I designed my own route.In accordance with the rules, before I left China I visited a notary office (公证

15、机关), where my driving license was confirmed as acceptable in the US and my documents were translated into English. Only then did I buy my basic motorcycle equipment.When we arrived at Las Vegas, we rented a Harley Davidson and rode around the city. It was an exciting, unforgettable experience, becau

16、se it was not only the achievement of a dream, but I also experienced the regional motorcycle culture in the US. As we parked the bike at the roadside, some drivers rolled down their car windows and gave us the thumbs-up, and when we drove on the road, car drivers pulled over to let us pass. We also

17、 visited a motorcycle-themed restaurant for lunch and enjoyed the fantastic decoration and delicious food.I believe that traveling by motorcycle in the US will become popular because of the recent joint efforts to promote Sino-US tourism, especially after the two countries decided to name 2016 as US

18、-China Tourism Year. This new style of traveling will attract more young Chinese tourists, and people like me, who have a passion for freedom and adventure, will visit the US more frequently. For example, I am planning to travel along the famous highway called Route 66 with friends during next years

19、 Spring Festival.If travel agencies and governments can promote the need for motorcyclists to obtain accurate information before they head to the US - such as the required documents, how to rent a motorbike and local traffic laws - riding the range will become a safe and great way to spend a vacatio

23、nged my life. “While you are traveling, you should keep notes of things you see and do,” he explained.I was 20 years old, a junior in college, spending a term at the University of London. Charles was a retired traveling salesman. I was staying with him in his cottage in Kendal, located in the Lake D

24、istrict of northern England. It was a one-week homestay the university arranged for us before classes began.I took his advice. I wrote in the notebook every day during the homestay. Back in London, I recorded weekend trips to Wales, Yorkshire, France, and Spain. I commented on my classes, professors

25、, and classmates. I contrasted my life at a small college in the US with my wandering through the streets of London, my introduction to life in a big city, and my initial travels outside the US. I tracked ideas I had about my life and my future.When I wrote in the notebook, I struggled with a sense

26、of my audience and purpose. Who would read this? Were these writings just for me, or did I want others to read them? Was I recording events and ideas just as a prompt(提示) to memory, or was there some larger purpose for this daily exercise?I knew I was recording events, thoughts, words that were impo

27、rtant to my life. I imagined a future me sitting down to read the pages. I wondered what it would feel like to read those words later. I wondered where I would be and what my life would be like.I filled the notebook Charles gave me. I bought a new one and filled it. Then another and another. I conti

28、nued writing in notebooks for four decades. By that time, they filled two boxes in my garage.I had reread some of the journals. Specific volumes had provided me with the background I needed for dozens of articles for magazines. But I had never read them all. Recently, I decided to bring my collectio

29、n of notebooks into my office and replay my life. As I opened the first box, I suddenly became nervous would I like the former me described on those pages? There was a risk in opening that first notebook. I did it anyway.Charles had been right. I remembered the big events and the central happenings,

30、 but on each page were many details I hadnt retained(保留).The pages revealed highlights from college classes and stories about roommates and friends. I read anxious comments Id written as Id launched my teaching career, learned to write lesson plants, assigned grades for student work, and solved disc

31、ipline problems. I reflected on my coming marriage, then the wedding, and eventually the proud moments when I held each of my three girls as a father. I recounted more tripsreturning to Europe, teaching in South America, going on safari(游猎) in Africa, and exploring Greenland. I relived memories of t

32、rails hit, rivers crossed, and mountains climbed.The writings in those journals framed my life. I hadnt written every day. I often skipped a few days or even weeks, but I always picked up the writing when it felt important. Journals went with me when I traveled, and I often wrote in them at school w

33、hen my own students were writing.It took several long evenings to read through the notebooks, taking me on tour spanning(持续) 42 years. As I read I could recall sitting on a bench in Trafalgar Square in London or in our apartment in Peru to write to the future me. It was then that I realized: I am no

34、w the person I was writing to throughout those years.1、What can we learn about Charles Lee?AHe was an Englishman the author came across.BHe gave the author a notebook as birthday present.CThe author gained valuable experience of life from him.DThe author once lived in his house as a college graduate

35、.2、One reason why the author kept writing journals was that he wanted to _.Alet others read what he wrote in the futureBlive up to Charles Lees expectation for himCknow what his life would be like in the futureDleave something special to his three daughters3、How did the author feel when he opened th

36、e first box filled with his journals?ACurious. BWorried. CSurprised. DDisappointed.4、By mentioning the highlights in Paragraph 10, the author intends to tell us _.Athe regrets he had about his lifeBthe benefits of keeping journalsCthe big events that happened to himDthe themes of his articles for ma

37、gazines5、We can learn from the passage that the author _.Ararely wrote journals at schoolBkeeps a daily journal of his lifeCeven wrote journals when travelingDhad kept writing journals for five decades6、What would be the best title for the passage?ARereading my journals BMy interesting experience of

38、 lifeCA red notebook DA gift to my future self23（8分） Reducing plastic waste isnt easy because the cheap material is found in almost every household item. Now, a delicious and nutritious solution has come up to help reduce our dependence on this environmental hazard.David Christian, the co-founder of

39、 Evoware, says the idea of creating the biodegradable (生物降解的) products came from concern at the countrys high pollution rate. Indonesia is home to four of the worlds worst polluted rivers. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem, Evoware decided to deal with that first.After

40、 investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn, commonly used for biodegradable containers, seaweed does not require resources like water or large amounts of space. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, its easy for the company to fi

41、nd the material.Though they will not reveal their production process, Evoware says the seaweed packaging contains no chemicals and is safe to consume. The company has also invented single-use cups, which can break down 30 days after theyre thrown away.While replacing plastic with the seaweed product

42、s may seem appealing to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness to reduce single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic unnecessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convinc

43、ing Indonesians and people worldwide that switching to their products will be helpful to protecting our beautiful planet.1、What problem did Evoware decide to deal with first?AWays to clean the four worst polluted rivers.BHow to deal with single-use packaging.CMeans to contribute to the countrys econ

44、omy.DWhat nutritious materials for people to use.2、Why did Evoware choose seaweed?AIt could be found everywhere in his country.BIt was most commonly used for packaging.CIt didnt require much space and was easy to get.DIt grew thickly in most of the polluted rivers.3、What can we infer from Christians

45、 words?ASometimes its hard to get people to reduce the use of plastics.BTheir seaweed products have won government support.CTheir new products have received worldwide popularity.DThe cost of making seaweed products will be lowered soon.4、What does the underlined word “hard-sell” (in Para. 5) refer t

46、o?ASomething lasting long.BSomething commonly seen.CSomething easy to get.DSomething hard to accept.24（8分）It is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels. This is exciting. Yet, on the other hand, competition leads to a pragmatic（实用的）attitude. P

47、eople choose to learn things that are useful, and do things that are profitable. Todays college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism（功利主义）.Many college students choose Business, Law or Computer Programming as their majors convinced that these professions are where big m

48、oney is. It is not unusual to see college students taking a part-time job as a warm-up for the real battle. I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving tests to get a license. Well, I have nothing against being practical. As the competi

49、tion in the job market gets more and more severe, students do have reasons to be practical.However, we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagine, if utilitarianism becomes the main trend on campus, leaving no space for the cultivation（培养）of students mi

50、nds, or development of their soul, we will see university is training well-trained spiritless working machines. If utilitarianism controls society, we will see people lost in the money-making adventures, humanity losing its grace and dignity, and that would be disastrous. Id like to think society as

51、 encouraging and people regard profit or fame only as a horse that pulls the courage. Yet without the driver picking direction, the courage would go straight and may even end up in a dangerous situation.A certificate may give you some advantages, but not broad horizons, positive attitudes and person

52、al integrity（诚实正直）, which are the wealth you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way. In todays world, the highest level of competition may not be that of skills or expertise（专门技能）, but of vision and strategy, and your intellectual quality largely determines how far you can go in your career.1、Th

53、e authors attitude toward todays college education is .Apositive BcautiousCcritical Ddoubtful2、Many college students choose to major in Business because .Aa businessman is very likely to make big moneyBstudying business is less competitiveCtoo many students have chosen Computer ProgrammingDComputer

54、Programming is not a must for them3、The author does strongly suggest that .Amore competition be encouraged on campusBpeople should not ignore the value of broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrityCintellectual quality determine how far one can go in his/her careerDcollege students ge

55、t as many part-time jobs as possible4、In the authors opinion, .Acollege students are not pragmatic enoughBcollege students should have drivers pick direction for themCcollege education should provide students with more business coursesDcollege education should value the cultivation of students minds

56、25（10分）A new study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family claims that all that time you spend parenting just doesnt matter. But its a claim that, despite the enthusiastic and widespread coverage by the media, does not hold water.The research suggests that child outcomes (including behavior

57、problems, emotional problems, and academic performance) are barely connected with the time that parents spend with their children. The researchers examined the time diaries of 1, 600 children, looking at parenting time and outcomes when the kids were aged 3 to 11 in 1997, and again in 2002,when they

58、 were between 8 and 16.This research largely reflects the failure of the authors to correctly measure parental input (投入). It just looked at time diaries from two particular daysone a weekday and the other a weekend day.Trying to get a sense of the time you spend parenting from a single days diary i

59、s a bit like trying to measure your income from a single day. If yesterday was payday, you looked rich, but if its not, you would be reported as poor. You get a clearer picture only by looking at your incomeor your parenting timeover a more meaningful period.What you did yesterday should not be take

60、n as representative of what you did last year. This is why most high-quality studies of parenting time focus instead on how often parents read to their children, play with them or help them with homework over a period of a month or longerlong enough to represent their different approaches to parenti
