A
Everyone has their favourite Bond songs with the 007 movies offering so many different musical outings over the years from classic rock and pop to soul and even dance. Let us know in the comments.
Golden Eye — Tina Turner
Golden Eye (1995)
Golden Eye sees a cat-like Turner wandering about throughout its sound stage, flashing her claws where necessary. Its sweeping arrangement and sentimental brass (感伤的铜管乐) contribute to a powerful vocal performance. The strings are mixed with horns that sound like a passing train. This is effortless singing from Turner and her amazing control is a joy to hear.
Tomorrow Never Dies — Sheryl Crow
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
This rock/pop little number has always felt rather clear to the listeners. It is a bit Bond-aping (邦德式模仿) rather than creating something new all by itself, which is what it should ideally be aiming for. Crow gives it her all with her soft voice.
You Know My Name — Chris Cornell
Casino Royal (2006)
Right from the brilliantly exciting intro, the whole track just sounds so strong, as if it was chiseled (镌刻) out of the very finest stone. A lot of this is down to Chris Cornell’s powerful and deeply rich voice. One of the greatest singers of his generation, he absolutely nails this track.
Writing’s On The Wall — Sam Smith
Spectre (2015)
The title theme that most people can’t actually remember. By all accounts Sam Smith’s Writing’s On The Wall was written very quickly, and frankly, it shows. Far from being a terrible song, it just lacks basically everything that a Bond theme needs. Sure, it certainly feels empty.
1. Who gives an impression of joy to hear through his/her voice
A. Tina Turner. B. Sheryl Crow.
C. Chris Cornell. D. Sam Smith.
2. How does the song Tomorrow Never Dies sound to the listeners
A. Sweet. B. Strong. C. Gentle. D. Terrible.
3. Which song lacks a Bond theme according to the author
A. Golden Eye.
B. Tomorrow Never Dies.
C. You Know My Name.
D. Writing’s On The Wall.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些《007》系列电影的主题曲。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Golden Eye — Tina Turner部分中“The strings are mixed with horns that sound like a passing train. This is effortless singing from Turner and her amazing control is a joy to hear.(弦乐器和喇叭混合在一起,听起来就像火车驶过一样。这是Tina Turner毫不费力的演唱,她惊人的控制力听起来令人愉悦。)”可知,Tina Turner的歌声听起来让人愉悦。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Tomorrow Never Dies — Sheryl Crow部分中“It is a bit Bond-aping (邦德式模仿) rather than creating something new all by itself, which is what it should ideally be aiming for. Crow gives it her all with her soft voice.( 它有点类似于“邦德式模仿,而不是自己创造新的东西,这是它应该追求的理想目标。Crow用她温柔的声音演绎了这首歌曲。)”可知,Crow所演唱的这首歌曲是温柔的,舒缓的。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Writing’s On The Wall — Sam Smith部分中“Far from being a terrible song, it just lacks basically everything that a Bond theme needs. Sure, it certainly feels empty.(这首歌一点也不糟糕,只是缺乏邦德主题曲所需要的一切。当然,它确实让人感到空虚。)”可知,作者认为Writing’s On The Wall这 首歌缺少邦德的主题。故选D。
B
A young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus. The conductor (售票员) hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, people began to talk. “You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior.” said a middle-aged man.
“Yes, he should be praised (表扬) and we must write a letter to the company.” said a second passenger. “That’s right.” another lady said, “I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor.”
Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said, “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please Your excellent service must be praised ...”
Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman’s lap interrupted (打断话), “I know his name. I call him Dad.”

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一位平时服务态度恶劣的售票员对今天上车的一对母子热情欢迎,而且要求人们让座。乘客打算询问售票员的姓名以便于表扬他,结果被孩子告知,售票员是孩子的爸爸。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior.” said a middle-aged man.(一位中年男子说:“你知道这个售票员以前很粗鲁。现在他突然改变了他的坏行为。”)”可知,售票员之前很粗鲁,现在他突然发生了改变,推测乘客对此感到惊讶。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said, “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please Your excellent service must be praised ...”(就在这时,一位看起来像老师的绅士转向售票员说:“对不起,我能知道你的名字吗?你的出色服务必须受到赞扬……”)”可知,该绅士看起来像老师,但文章并没有说明他的具体身份。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测。根据第三段“Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said, “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please Your excellent service must be praised ...”(就在这时,一位看起来像老师的绅士转向售票员说:“对不起,我能知道你的名字吗?你的出色服务必须受到赞扬……”)”以及第四段“Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman’s lap interrupted (打断话), “I know his name. I call him Dad.”(还没来得及开口,坐在年轻女子腿上的三岁孩子就打断了他的话:“我知道他的名字。我叫他爸爸。”)”可知,那位绅士询问售票员的名字,售票员还没来得及开口,孩子就回答说那是他的爸爸,所以句中he指代的是那位售票员。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior.” said a middle-aged man.(一位中年男子说:“你知道这个售票员以前很粗鲁。现在他突然改变了他的坏行为。”)”以及第四段“Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman’s lap interrupted (打断话), “I know his name. I call him Dad.”(还没来得及开口,坐在年轻女子腿上的三岁孩子就打断了他的话:“我知道他的名字。我叫他爸爸。”)”可知,年轻女人和孩子是售票员的妻子和孩子,实际上售票员对其他乘客粗鲁的态度并没有改变。故选C。

My problems started after I went to a boarding(寄宿)school. I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found that I enjoyed being with my classmates at school. I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends——but only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.
Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was staying with boys all day long in order to get attention from them. Seven months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union(学生会). I thought I could win, for I was doing well in school. I had already won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn’t include me. I was sad.
Mr. Wang came to me and said, “Don’t be sad. I know you’re excellent! Maybe you are a little distant from the girls in our class. They don’t know much about you, so some of them didn’t choose you. It doesn’t matter. Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you’ll make it next time.”

People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers (包装纸). While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is focused on environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advises readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most famous advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative (倡议). The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly. However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence.
12. What do we know about the “Green Newspaper”
A. It uses high-tech materials.
B. It provides energy for seeds.
C. It’s printed with plant-based ink.
D. It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day.
13. What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey
A. It’s easier said than done.
B. Everything comes to him who waits.
C. Many hands make light work.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to the “Green Newspaper”
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. About 59 million trees are lost for producing newspapers.
B. The Internet has changed the way people read news totally.
C. The popularity of the Internet leads to the fall of the print readership.
D. The “Green Newspaper” will encourage more people to protect the environment.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一家日本出版公司对废纸的处理。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants.(更特别的是,用于打印文字和照片的墨水是由植物制成的)”可知,打印这种“绿色环保的报纸”的墨水是由植物制成的。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily.(出版商的信念是环境的可持续性。正如其使命宣言所言,“《每日新闻》不仅通过信息采取行动,还通过解决全球问题采取行动。”在大家的共同努力下,这一创想已经传播到了日本的各个角落,每天的销量达到了数百万份)”可知,出版商的使命宣言和出版商的行为相一致,他们的理念是环境的可持续性,而他们也通过自己的行动践行这一理念。由此推知,选项D“Actions speak louder than words.(事实胜于雄辩)”阐述的正是这家出版商的行为。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence.(然而,这份报纸的重塑和再想象将带来出版业的变化,并对环境产生影响)”可推知,作者对于这份报纸抱有支持的态度。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly.(每年约有9500万棵树因生产报纸而消失。互联网的用户数量占全球人口的62.5%,它影响了人们阅读新闻的方式,纸质报纸的读者数量大幅下降)”可知,由于互联网的普及,纸质报纸的读者数量大幅下降。故选C。

第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
根据课文内容填空,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
(普通班版)
36. By setting goals now, you are deciding ______ you want to achieve in the future.(用适当的词填空)
【答案】what
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意:通过现在设定目标,你就可以决定未来想要实现什么。分析句子可知,这里考查宾语从句,且从句中缺宾语,指代物,所以应用连接代词what。故填what。
37. — She has changed a lot, hasn’t she
— Yes, living away from her parents has made her much more ______(depend).(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】independent
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:——她变了很多,不是吗?——是的,远离父母的生活使她更加独立。分析句子可知,此空应填形容词作宾补,再由living away from her parents可知,此空应填independent,为形容词,表“独立的”,符合句意。故填independent。
38. You should set goals ______(base) on your abilities and skills. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】based
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:你应该根据自己的能力和技能设定目标。be based on根据; 以……为基准,在句中作定语,修饰名词goals,所以用过去分词形式。故填based。
39. I found maths quite easy and _________ (enjoy) because the material was less advanced in the UK than in China. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】enjoyable
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:我发现数学很容易且令人愉快,因为这些材料在英国不如在中国先进。分析句子结构可知,该空处应填形容词作宾补,且并列连词and前后的词性应该相同,均应为形容词。故填enjoyable。
40. There are a lot of things I need to do ______(achieve) this goal. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to achieve
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语。句意:为了实现这个目标,我需要做很多事情。分析句子可知,定语从句中do后面的宾语为先行词a lot of things,而此空应填不定式作目的状语。故填to achieve。
41. The one ______ attracted me most was the Rugby club.(用适当的词填空)
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:最吸引我的是橄榄球俱乐部。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词the one,先行词指物,关系词在定语从句中作主语,只能使用关系代词that引导从句。故填that。
42. In time you ______(find) yourself growing into a well-rounded individual. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】will find
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:随着时间的推移,你会发现自己成长为一个全面发展的人。根据时间状语In time 和句意可知,用一般将来时。故填will find。
43. Of equal importance ________ (be) good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】are
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:良好的学习习惯、有用的技能和积极的态度也同样重要。分析句子结构可知,句子是倒装句,正常语序是“good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude_____of equal importance”,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语“good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude”是复数,因此空格处用are,故填are。
44. Most ______(important), your time and effort at senior high school will open the door to your potential. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】importantly
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意:最重要的是,你在高中的时间和努力将为你的潜力打开大门。分析句子结构可知,空处需要副词修饰后面的句子作状语。故填importantly。
45. ______ (join) clubs was a great way to meet British students and make friends with them. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Joining
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:加入俱乐部是认识英国学生并与他们交朋友的好方法。分析句子结构可知,此处应为非谓语动词作主语,结合句意可知,此处描述的是经常性动作,所以使用动名词形式作主语,且表示主动关系,所以此处使用joining,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Joining。
(永通班版)
46. When you disagree ______ your parents, take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】with
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意:当你不同意父母观点时,花一分钟冷静下来,试着从他们的角度来理解情况。分析句子结构可知,此处应为固定短语disagree with意为“不同意”符合句意。故填with。
47. _________ (heat) arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Heated
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:青少年和父母之间经常发生激烈的争吵和冷淡的沉默。根据句子结构分析,此处修饰后面名词arguments,作前置定语,用形容词形式,heated激烈的,符合题意。故填Heated。
48. To ______(full) realize your potential, it is important for you to make the most of our school resources. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】fully
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意:为了充分发挥你的潜能,充分利用我们学校的资源对你来说很重要。修饰动词realize ,用副词形式。根据句意,故填fully。
49. There is no point in ______(compare) you with others all the time. Everyone is unique. (所给词适当形式填空)
【答案】comparing
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:总是拿你和别人比较是没有意义的。每个人都是独一无二的。分析句子可知,这里考查there is no point in doing sth表“做某事毫无意义”,为固定句型。在介词in后,应用动名词作宾语。故填comparing。
50. Whatever happened, we always knew we still had the Bank ________ (depend) on. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to depend
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:无论发生什么,我们都知道我们仍然可以依靠银行。have sth. to do有某事要做。根据句意,故填to depend。
51. Put simply, potential is your natural ability that can ______(develop) when you try hard enough. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】be developed
【解析】
【详解】考查被动语态。句意:简单地说,潜力是你天生的能力,当你足够努力时,它就会得到发展。分析句子可知,这里考查谓语, your natural ability和develop为被动关系,且can后面应用动词原形。故填be developed。
52. Just remember that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress________parent-child tensions create, and________you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship.(用适当的词填空)
【答案】 ①. that##which ②. that
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和宾语从句。句意:只要记住,与亲子关系紧张带来的压力作斗争是完全正常的,你和你的父母可以共同努力改善你们的关系。 根据句意分析句子可知, parent-child tensions create是一个定语从句,对先行词stress进行限定说明,该定语从句缺少宾语,所以空格处应该填入一个关系代词代替先行词在从句中作宾语,所以应该用that或which。第二个空格后面的部分是动词remember的第二个宾语从句,该从句不缺成分,意义完整,所以应该用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导,连词and后不可省略。故填①that或which;②that。
53. I was very ______(anger) with myself for making such a stupid mistake. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】angry
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:我为自己犯了这样一个愚蠢的错误而非常生气。空处需要形容词作表语。anger为名词,其形容词为angry“生气的”。故填angry。
54. You enter a strange middle ground—— no longer a small child but not quite ______ adult. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】an
【解析】
【详解】考查冠词。句意:你进入了一个奇怪的中间地带——不再是小孩子,但也不完全是成年人。根据句意和空后的单数可数名词adult可知,空格处应该填入不定冠词表泛指,adult的发音是元音音素开头,所以应该用an。故填an。
55. When Mama asked us if we wanted to go to the bank, we all ______(shake) our heads. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】shook
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:当妈妈问我们要不要去银行时,我们都摇头。分析句子可知,这里考查谓语动词, we和shake为主动关系,且由前句asked可知,这里也应用一般过去时。故填shook。

第二节 (满分25分)
57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Daniel and Lucas are twins. They are teenagers, studying in the same class. Their teenage life is rich and colorful. Tony is their grandpa, whose age is 70 this year. The two grandsons like to take exercise with their grandpa and even go out on adventures.
In the summer of last year, they paid a visit to Stone Mountain Park with their grandpa. They had the opportunity to spend the day with their grandpa, seeing the various beautiful sights and attractions. One thing that three of them had really desired to do was climb to the top of the mountain. Stone Mountain isn’t a very high mountain and fortunately there are some walking routes to the top of it, but for the two teenagers, along with a rather old grandpa, it’s a difficult task.
Daniel and Lucas were much more interested in the walk than their grandpa, and they viewed it as an exciting adventure. But climbing the mountain was a rather big challenge for Tony, who was old and thin. He decided to start the slow walk up to the mountain.
It seemed like that Tony was taking forever to climb just a short distance, but considering his personal safety, he had to remind himself that it took him two steps to equal his grandsons’ one step. When he walked closer to his grandsons, he had to stop for a while to regain energy, and then tried to catch up with them, over and over again.
Tony was very tired. He just wanted to arrive at the top of the mountain as soon as possible to enjoy the beauty of the mountain top. But the twin grandsons were not focused at all on the trial of climbing the mountain. On the contrary, they were simply enjoying the journey of the walk. They enjoyed all that they had seen and all that they had heard along the way up to the top of the mountain. They stopped now and then to look at every large rock and observe the unusual plant formations. Suddenly, they found a strange plant. Daniel called out, “Grandpa, here is a special e and have a look.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Tony was hurrying towards his grandsons when he fell down.

Daniel and Lucas wondered how to get their grandpa to the top of the mountain.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Tony was hurrying towards his grandsons when he fell down. He looked down and saw his foot caught on a tree root. He tried to stand up but failed. Daniel and Lucas waited for some time and then looked back, only to find their grandpa struggling to stand on his feet. They put aside their curiosity, running quickly towards their grandpa. Daniel kept comforting him nervously. Meanwhile, Lucas tore off the root and examined Tony’s feet. There were no wounds but Tony was unable to walk.
Daniel and Lucas wondered how to get their grandpa to the top of the mountain. Facing the sudden problem they responded positively. Lucas who knew the first-aid knowledge treated Tony’s feet. Then, seeing their Grandpa really wanted to reach the top, he said happily, “Why don’t we take turns carrying our grandpa to the top of the mountain ” Daniel said OK immediately. In this way, they finally enjoyed the great scenery on the mountaintop.

A
Everyone has their favourite Bond songs with the 007 movies offering so many different musical outings over the years from classic rock and pop to soul and even dance. Let us know in the comments.
Golden Eye — Tina Turner
Golden Eye (1995)
Golden Eye sees a cat-like Turner wandering about throughout its sound stage, flashing her claws where necessary. Its sweeping arrangement and sentimental brass (感伤的铜管乐) contribute to a powerful vocal performance. The strings are mixed with horns that sound like a passing train. This is effortless singing from Turner and her amazing control is a joy to hear.
Tomorrow Never Dies — Sheryl Crow
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
This rock/pop little number has always felt rather clear to the listeners. It is a bit Bond-aping (邦德式模仿) rather than creating something new all by itself, which is what it should ideally be aiming for. Crow gives it her all with her soft voice.
You Know My Name — Chris Cornell
Casino Royal (2006)
Right from the brilliantly exciting intro, the whole track just sounds so strong, as if it was chiseled (镌刻) out of the very finest stone. A lot of this is down to Chris Cornell’s powerful and deeply rich voice. One of the greatest singers of his generation, he absolutely nails this track.
Writing’s On The Wall — Sam Smith
Spectre (2015)
The title theme that most people can’t actually remember. By all accounts, Sam Smith’s Writing’s On The Wall was written very quickly, and frankly, it shows. Far from being a terrible song, it just lacks basically everything that a Bond theme needs. Sure, it certainly feels empty.
1. Who gives an impression of joy to hear through his/her voice
A. Tina Turner. B. Sheryl Crow.
C. Chris Cornell. D. Sam Smith.
2. How does the song Tomorrow Never Dies sound to the listeners
A. Sweet. B. Strong. C. Gentle. D. Terrible.
3. Which song lacks a Bond theme according to the author
A. Golden Eye.
B. Tomorrow Never Dies.
C. You Know My Name.
D. Writing’s On The Wall.
B
A young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus. The conductor (售票员) hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, people began to talk. “You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior.” said a middle-aged man.
“Yes, he should be praised (表扬) and we must write a letter to the company.” said a second passenger. “That’s right.” another lady said, “I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor.”
Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said, “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please Your excellent service must be praised ...”
Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman’s lap interrupted (打断话), “I know his name. I call him Dad.”
4. The passengers were ______ to see the conductor’s kindness to the woman and the child.
A. excited B. pleased C. interested D. surprised

My problems started after I went to a boarding(寄宿)school. I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found that I enjoyed being with my classmates at school. I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends——but only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.
Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was staying with boys all day long in order to get attention from them. Seven months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union(学生会). I thought I could win, for I was doing well in school. I had already won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn’t include me. I was sad.
Mr. Wang came to me and said, “Don’t be sad. I know you’re excellent! Maybe you are a little distant from the girls in our class. They don’t know much about you, so some of them didn’t choose you. It doesn’t matter. Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you’ll make it next time.”

People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers (包装纸). While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is focused on environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advises readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most famous advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative (倡议). The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly. However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence.
12. What do we know about the “Green Newspaper”
A. It uses high-tech materials.
B. It provides energy for seeds.
C. It’s printed with plant-based ink.
D. It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day.
13. What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey
A. It’s easier said than done.
B Everything comes to him who waits.
C. Many hands make light work.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to the “Green Newspaper”
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C Indifferent. D. Negative.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. About 59 million trees are lost for producing newspapers.
B. The Internet has changed the way people read news totally.
C The popularity of the Internet leads to the fall of the print readership.
D. The “Green Newspaper” will encourage more people to protect the environment.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Daniel and Lucas are twins. They are teenagers, studying in the same class. Their teenage life is rich and colorful. Tony is their grandpa, whose age is 70 this year. The two grandsons like to take exercise with their grandpa and even go out on adventures.
In the summer of last year, they paid a visit to Stone Mountain Park with their grandpa. They had the opportunity to spend the day with their grandpa, seeing the various beautiful sights and attractions. One thing that three of them had really desired to do was climb to the top of the mountain. Stone Mountain isn’t a very high mountain and fortunately there are some walking routes to the top of it, but for the two teenagers, along with a rather old grandpa, it’s a difficult task.
Daniel and Lucas were much more interested in the walk than their grandpa, and they viewed it as an exciting adventure. But climbing the mountain was a rather big challenge for Tony, who was old and thin. He decided to start the slow walk up to the mountain.
It seemed like that Tony was taking forever to climb just a short distance, but considering his personal safety, he had to remind himself that it took him two steps to equal his grandsons’ one step. When he walked closer to his grandsons, he had to stop for a while to regain energy, and then tried to catch up with them, over and over again.
Tony was very tired. He just wanted to arrive at the top of the mountain as soon as possible to enjoy the beauty of the mountain top. But the twin grandsons were not focused at all on the trial of climbing the mountain. On the contrary, they were simply enjoying the journey of the walk. They enjoyed all that they had seen and all that they had heard along the way up to the top of the mountain. They stopped now and then to look at every large rock and observe the unusual plant formations. Suddenly, they found a strange plant. Daniel called out, “Grandpa, here is a special e and have a look.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Tony was hurrying towards his grandsons when he fell down.
