（一）阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A
The next day I looked for a pen and some paper among my things. I made two lists: one of all the bad things about my situation, and the other of all the good things.
BAD I am alone. There is nobody here to talk to or to help me. I have no warm clothes. I don't have much protection against wild animals. GOOD I survive the terrible storm. I am alive. It's hot here, so I don't need warm clothes. There aren't any wild animals here. I can live well because I was able to save a lot ofuseful things from the ship.
I looked at my lists and I thought, "These lists show something important. We can always find something good in a bad situation if we look for it. I must stop feeling sad and sorry for myself. My new life is here, on this island. I must make it as comfortable as I can."
I started by making my house stronger. I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to keep out the rain. I put up some shelves and I put my things on them. I made some furniture-two tables and a chair. They weren't very beautiful but they were very useful. I made a small cave at the back of my house. It was cool and a good place to keep food. I called it my "kitchen".
Time passed quickly because I was always busy. In the mornings I went for a walk in the woods and hills with my dog. I caught birds and small animals for food. When I came back, I worked until about 11 o'clock. Then I prepared something to eat. I rested between midday and 2 o'clock because it was very hot. In the evenings I did some more work or I took out my pen and wrote about my life on the island. At 7 o'clock, I went to bed as it got dark early on the island.
Sometimes it rained all day, so I had to stay inside. It was hard to read or write because the house was dark and I didn't have candles. Then I remembered in Africa people made lamps using the fat of animals. I did the same. They didn't give much light, but they were better than nothing.
( )1. Where did the story take place
A. On an island. B. In a small cave.
C. At the back of a house. D. On the shelves.
( )2. Which of the following is a bad thing to "me"
A. I survive the terrible storm. B. I don't need any warm clothes.
C. There aren't wild animals here. D. No one comes and helps me.
( )3. What does the underlined word "roof" mean
A. The top of a house. B. A piece of furniture.
C. A shelf to put things on. D. The place to keep food.
( )4. Which of the following is True according to the passage
A. I made some beautiful and useful furniture.B. I made a cave to keep myself from the rain.
C. I went for a walk in the woods in the mornings.D. I didn't work in the evening because it was dark.
( )5. What can we learn from the text
A. We can start a new life in a new place.B. Life is hopeless when we are left alone.
C. Nobody can survive without others' help.D. One can try to find something good in a bad situation.

In the year 2070, most of you will be more than 60 years old. The good news is that travel may become smarter by that time. European airline easyJet made some guesses and released(发布) easyJet 2070: The Future Travel Report. Let’s take a look at some exciting ideas.
Heartbeat passport (心跳护照)
Paper passports will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead. Some scientists say everyone’s heartbeat is different. So the data(数据) will be used to tell who you are.
More comfortable flight
The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat may even be able to cool or warm you to your favourite temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A futuristic device(未来设备) could show films straight in front of your eyes.
Printed clothes and food
If you hate packing(打包) clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan. When you arrive, you’ll find a wardrobe full of 3D-printed clothes in your size. When you leave, people will use the clothes again to print(打印) for the next person. You can also 3D print what you want to eat.
Bring history back to life
If you like to visit historic sites(历史古迹), AR(增强现实技术) will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games.
( )6. What do we know about easyJet 2070: The Future Travel Report
A.It is about how old people will travel in the future.
B.It shows us what future planes will look like.

C.We can have bigger screens to watch films.D.We can change the temperature of our seats.
( )8. According to the passage, what can we use 3D-printing to do
A.To print our plane tickets.B.To scan our bodies quickly.
C.To print clothes in our sizes.D.To show us the menu of a restaurant.
( )9. Which can be the best title for this passage

四、阅读并回答问题（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）
Now there is a family problem. Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact we are probably 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and often do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.
Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes,everything that they can for their dear children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the exams.
But why still can’t their children understand them Does it mean that we still want more material(物质) things No. As a matter of fact, what we want is a true family. What does a true family mean” I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation(安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident(自信的) in the outside world because we know that we have a true family.
So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents could understand each other more and more. Then, parents will not treat their children as little ones.

The famous Russian w 1 Lev Tolstory ( 托尔斯泰) once said, “ Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”
He was right. We always plan to do or dream of doing something great so that we can change the world. For example, we hate pollution, so we try to find new energy r 2 to keep the environment clean. H 3 , we still litter on the ground in our lives. Also, we are not satisfied with the traffic, so we plan to build more highways to stop it. But in fact, the main reason for it is that many people don’t f 4 the traffic rules.
Now, lots of students always think their homework is very difficult and they find it hard to pass exams. In their e 5 , the problems on papers are too difficult. But actually, the real r 6 is that they don’t study hard. They never think about changing their attitudes(态度) t 7 study or working hard on their lessons.
In my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we should change o 8 first. As common people, it is not easy for us to change the world, but we can e 9 give up our bad habits, such as littering, breaking traffic rules and always c10 about how difficult the exam is. If we can do that, we’ll be strong enough to change the world some day and make it!

Let’s all do something for a greener city.
