Text 1
M: Does your niece Leah watch The Mickey Mouse Club?
W: Yeah. Her mom and dad didn’t let her watch television when she was a baby. But now that she’s two, her doctor says it’s OK for her to watch a half hour of TV each day. (1)
Text 2
M: You need to focus on drying the plates properly, or they can get water spots like this one.
W: Sorry, I didn’t notice that. I think I need to put on my glasses to do this job. (2)
M: That’s probably a good idea. We don’t want to lose customers over something like this.
Text 3
W: Would you like chicken or fish tonight? I have some delicious fish I could grill. Or I can always make my famous baked chicken.
M: I love your baked chicken! I’m so hungry that anything will taste great to me. (3)
Text 4
M: I’m so excited to be a senior soon! I’ll be able to drive my car to school, instead of taking the bus.
W: Oh, yeah. You’ve been riding the bus with me since the third grade! I can’t believe you’ll be in twelfth grade. (4) Time flies!
Text 5
M: Over here is the weight room. Down the hall is the entrance to the pool. And over there is the classroom where we host our classes like yoga and cycling. (5)
W: Wow, this is great! I’d like to sign up for a membership.
Text 6
W: Finals are approaching. I’m not ready, and most importantly, I still haven’t finished my employment history.
M: That CAPP class is a joke. (6)
W: You mean the career-and-personal-planning class?
M: Yeah! How can they expect us to have employment history when we are full-time students?
W: That’s not the point of the class. It’s meant to provide us with the necessary tools to find work after college. The purpose is not to show our work experience. It’s practice for writing a professional résumé and cover letter, and how to take advantage of our strengths in a competitive work environment. (7)
M: Oh, I never thought of that.
W: Well, you don’t really think of a lot of things…
Text 7
M: What is the population of your hometown? (8)
W: It is close to one million. (8)
M: Wow! But you said you grew up in your capital city. And there are not even a million people there?
W: No, I’m talking about the whole state. (8) My hometown doesn’t even have half that much.
M: So, your state is similar in size to Mongolia?
W: Well, it is actually larger in size, but Mongolia has nearly three million people.
M: That is so wild. Why are there so few people where you’re from? (9)
W: It’s a cold place with nine months of winter. (9) Before the discovery of oil, only native communities lived there for the most part. We have had a lot of immigration in recent years, mainly because of the jobs in the oil field.
M: I think I would feel lonely there.
Text 8
W: All right, students. Your homework for the weekend is to review Chapter 3 and to write a summary of the most important ideas in the chapter. (10) Next week, we’ll begin our presentations.
M: Excuse me, Ms. Diaz…
W: Yes?
M: How long should our summary be?
W: It should be one page, but no more than that. Also, remember that when you summarize a chapter, you must leave your own opinion out. (11)
M: Yes, ma’am. But there are many different views on the Civil War in American history. (11) It is difficult to summarize anything important without including my opinion at all.
W: A summary only includes the facts. You can use the author’s words directly, but you cannot include your own ideas. For the homework, I just need to see if you understood the main ideas in the chapter. (12)
M: Should we try to connect these ideas to other things we read this term?
W: No. You can do that next week when you give your presentation.
Text 9 (第13题为推断题)
M: Hi, it's Charles Nelson. I have a reservation for tonight.
W: Hmm… Nelson. You have booked a room for five, right?
M: No, no. Hold on, there must be some mistake.
W: Okay. Let's check… Here, Mr. Charles C. Nelson for tonight…
M: Ah, my name is Charles Nelson (14), not Charles C. Nelson.
W: I'm sorry. Let me check this again. Oh, yes. Charles Nelson, a room for one for the 19th of May.(15)
M: No, a room for tonight, not for tomorrow evening. (15)
W: I'm really sorry, but I don't think we have any rooms for tonight. Well, let me check my computer here. Ah! There has been a cancellation for this evening. A honeymoon suite is now available.
M: Great. I'll take it.
W: But I'll have to charge you 250 dollars for the night. Well, the best I can give you is a 10% discount plus a ticket for a free breakfast. (16)
M: Thank you very much!
Text 10 (第17题为推断题)
A lot of young people today find it difficult to get a job, especially in the first few months after they leave school. Actually, in some parts of the country 60 or even 70 percent of the young people will be without a job for a whole year after leaving school. Our Jobs Information Service Center has been in touch with thousands of young people over the last 2 or 3 years, talking to them about their hopes and their fears (18). And in fact, we have been able to give a lot of help and advice to young people who have just left school. Are you recently out of school and still without a job? Or are you still at school and worried about getting a job when you leave? We have found that many people don't know who to talk to and sometimes don't know what questions to ask. That is why our experience at Jobs Information Service Center is so important. It will cost you nothing, just a phone call. If you would like to talk to us, we are here. (19) Please phone [phone] (20) any day between 9∶00 am and 5∶30 pm.

第二部分:阅读理解 （共两节，满分40分）
第一节 （共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文 ，从每题所给的A、B、C和 D的四个选项中 ，选出最佳选项 ，并在题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Leaders shape history and here is a selection of the most remarkable views into these public figures plus first-hand accounts by those with access to them.
Margaret Thatcher by Charles Moore (2013)
Before Moore published the first volume of his biography, there had already been a mountain of books on Thatcher. Moore’s account is different. He shows that far from being fearless, she could often be fearful without cause. The final volume will include her fall from power.
Harold Wilson by Ben Pimlott (1992)
Harold Wilson had become a ghostly figure when this book was published in 1992. The absence heightened a sense of mystery. Who was he? How to explain his seemingly contradictory characteristics? Pimlott solves some of the mysteries; the book is detailed until Wilson’s final phase as prime minister in 1974.
Churchill by Roy Jenkins (2001)
Jenkins writes a politician as well as a historian, analyzing Churchill’s historic moves from the opinions of one who had also spoken in the Commons. Jenkins had resigned from high positions in battles over policy, and as one that changed parties, though not as frequently as Churchill did.
Roy Jenkins by John Campbell (2014)
Campbell calmly narrates the many political and personal dramas, including Jenkins’ intense relationship with Anthony Crosland when they were both students at Oxford. Campbell also addresses Jenkins’ various affairs with women. Like Jenkins’s political heroes, he led many lives. Campbell is sharp in describing each of them.
Diaries, Volumes One to Six by Alastair Campbell (2017)
Love or hate him, Campbell remains the master of the inside story, and not just because of his unusual ideas on the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. This is an incredibly detailed book on what it’s like to live inside No. 10: the cruel space of events; and the constant conflict with the media.
21. Which of the following leaders has the largest number of books written about them?
A. Harold Wilson. B. Churchill.
C. Margaret Thatcher. D. Tony Blair.
22. Which writer was once a politician?
A. Ben Pimlott. B. Charles Moore.
C. John Campbell. D. Roy Jenkins. 
23. What’s purpose of the author’s writing the passage?
A. To introduce some histories on selections. B. To recommend some books on leaders.
C. To tell some mysteries about historians. D. To think highly of some famous leaders.
21. C 细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“Before Moore published the first volume of his biography, there had already been a mountain of books on Thatcher.”可知。
22. D 细节理解题。由文章第四段中对Jenkins的介绍可知。
23. B 推理判断题。综合第一段和全文内容可知。
B
LAS VEGAS — It was different in the light of day.
There was no ‘pop, pop, pop’ of gunfire, no screams. Just a quiet lot of cars abandoned by those, like Kassidy Owen, who escaped with their lives.
“It’s strange to hear the silence,” Owen said, “because all I remember was the noise.”
The 22-year-old was one of dozens of concertgoers who returned to the scene of the Route 91 Harvest festival on Wednesday morning to fetch the vehicles they left behind as they fled from a gunman raining down bullets from high above in the tower of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino across the street.
Survivors of the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday needed their cars to move on with their lives — to get back to work, to school, home. It was the first time they were returning to a scene that would forever change them, when joy and celebration and music turned into killing and horror.
Before they could move forward, they had to go back to the place where they thought they were going to die.
Owen had run to her car to hide and had tried to drive away, but she couldn’t. People were running, bodies dropped to the ground, and cars bottlenecked in the parking lot. During a brief pause after more than 10 minutes of gunfire, she worried the lights of her SUV made everyone inside a shining target.
“They’re shooting again!” her best friend’s brother screamed. “‘Turn off the car!’”
That’s when she got out and fled.
“I just remember shutting the door and running,” Owen said.
Now, nearly three days later, she was back, sitting in the driver’s seat of her SUV. Her eyes were swollen and red. This was a long way from over.
“You just keep hearing the gunshots in your head,” Owen said.
24. Why did Kassidy Owen return to the scene of terror?
A. To get back her car for daily life.
B. To show sympathy to the victims.
C. To search for her missing friends.
D. To look into the cause of the shooting.
25. Where was the gunman when the mass shooting happened?
A. Behind a car. B. In the parking lot. C. On the stage. D. In a tall building.
26. Why did Owen keep hearing the gunshots in her head?
A. Because she had escaped being caught.
B. Because she wanted to find the gunman.
C. Because she couldn’t rid herself of those terrible scenes.
D. Because she had saved others’ lives by turning off the car.
27. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A story book. B. A newspaper. C. A guide book. D. A research report.
24. A 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“…needed their cars to move on with their lives — to get back to work, to school, home.”可知。
25. D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“… from a gunman raining down bullets from high above in the tower of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino across the street.”注意这里的tower指的是a tall, narrow building。
26. C 推理判断题。根据文章中的语句Her eyes were swollen and red. This was a long way from over. “You just keep hearing the gunshots in your head,” Owen said.等可知，枪击声不停地出现在Owen的脑海中是因为她无法忘掉自身经历的恐怖枪击场景。
27. B 推理判断题。由文章第一段结构和全文内容可知，这是在介绍拉斯维加斯音乐会枪击事件，故其是选自新闻媒体。

C
Cities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But
