26、   Their wealth, fame and power put their heads and shoulders above us ordinary. But according to these celebrities, true happiness lies in some of life's simpler pleasures.

David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nigel Farage all claim that their families are the key to their well-being. But others gave unexpected brief ideas about their celebrity lives. The Dutchess of York Sarah Fertguson, 55, revealed that what most keeps her spirits high was a belief in magic and fairies. She said, 'I do believe in fairies. I do believe magic and when you blow a dandelion (蒲公英) , you will see the light of the enchanted (施过魔法的) spreading their wings and disappearing on their own journeys, just like you have today when you opened your eyes. Don't let the day go by without looking for fairies and magic. That makes me happy, as every day is. '

Meanwhile, former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney revealed that he got his pleasure through his stomach as well as his family. He said, 'I love to hear the noises in the kitchen as the meal is prepared and then my little grandson climbs on my knee and requests a bite for every bite I take. '

Food was also key to Strictly Come Dancing《舞动奇迹》judge Len Goodman, who said eating a bacon sandwich was enough to put a smile on his face, while rocker Rod Stewart, claimed that a simple cup of tea made him uncontrollably happy.

For our most gifted sports stars, however, it seems that the key to the good life is a faithful dog. Tennis champion Andy Murray said he badly missed Rusty and Maggie May when he was playing in tournaments around the world. Former England striker Gary Lineker agreed, saying, 'Walking my dog makes me happy. ' The joy at the word 'walkies' never decreases. Such enthusiasm for something so simple is satisfying.

【1】What is the function of the first paragraph?

A.To inform us what true happiness means.

B.To bring in the topic to be discussed.

C.To explain to us where we can get true happiness.

D.To tell us that celebrities are different from the ordinary.

【2】According to the text, who claim that 'FOOD' is the key to their pleasure?

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.The Actual Meaning of True Happiness

27、   Blue Planet Ⅱ’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a devastating effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.

Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.

We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.

And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.

This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag--when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.

【1】Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?

A. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.

B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.

C. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.

D. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.

【2】How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?

A. He presented data.

B. He mentioned remarks from experts.

C. He used examples from his own experience.

D. He used the strategy of comparison and contrast.

【3】What can we infer about climate change?

A. Climate change is caused by human activities.

B. Some people cast some doubts on climate change.

C. Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.

D. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.

【4】What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Ocean plastic is a global issue.

B. The oceans become choked with plastic.

C. Blue Planet Ⅱ has left viewers heartbroken.

D. Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.

28、We fill our water bottle with cool water from a stream and watch as puffy clouds slowly push shadows over the green hills. At the country' s first camping site, Glamping Georgia, in Ambrolauri, six white tents are set on a hill, overlooking a valley and slopes of dense pine forest. There’s a bathroom inside the air-conditioned tents, and a mini kitchen outside, a private deck with wicker rocking chairs. Linden, oak and apple trees surround the tents. The clean, fresh air is rich with birdsong and insects zip back and forth. The only other sound is the Krikhula River. It's the perfect place to disconnect. A layer of stars opens up overhead and Giorgi, the owner, drops by to give us a bottle of his homemade grape.

We spend the final days of our trip in central Georgia, at Borjomi, a summer retreat for the Romanovs, famous for its mineral waters and sulphur(硫磺)baths. Covering 210,000 acres, the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park has one of the largest areas of old-growth forest in Europe, and many wildlife habitats. There are 12 marked tracks for hiking, riding and snowshoeing, as well as . tourist shelters and camping areas.

We hike the Nikoloz Romanov Trail from Likani to Lomis mountain where a river valley leads up through forest to alpine meadows(高山草甸) of tall grasses and wild flowers. We pass only a handful of other hikers. I know that the reward at 7,200ft will be the views. What I don't expect to find at the top are free -ranging horses with shiny brown coats, a tiny decorative church and carpets of wild flowers.

This is what we came for—undamaged nature and slow travel. It's a few hours’ hike back down, but all I want to do is lie down among the flowers, close my eyes and just breathe.

【1】What is the author' s impression of Glamping Georgia?

A．It is not easily accessible.

B．It is a densely populated area.

C．It affords breathtaking views.

D．It provides poor accommodation.

【2】What does the underlined word “retreat” in the 2nd paragraph refer to?

A．A quiet place to relax.

B．A meadow of tall grasses.

C．A final destination.

D．A wildlife habitat.

【3】What attracts the author most in Georgia?

A．Its fine beauty and exceptional features.

B．Its rare plants and diverse wildlife.

C．The mineral waters and sulphur baths.

D．The rich culture and warm hospitality.

【4】How does the author paint the picture of their trip?

A．By making comparisons with their previous trips.

B．By presenting specific landscape features.

C．By introducing the local lifestyle and daily routines.

D．By listing people and events along the way.

29、   Chinese fans might just be on cloud nine right now since the movie Spirited Away has finally been scheduled for a June 21 release in Chinese mainland. The movie made by Studio Ghibli was originally released in 2001 and quickly gained fame around the world for the fascinating and thrilling story it offers. It follows the adventures of a 10-year-old girl named Chihiro, voiced by Zhou Dongyu, as she wanders around the spirit world to bring her parents back to their original form after turning into pigs. In the magical world, she encounters challenges and a cunning witch, voiced by Wang Lin, who wants to keep Chihiro as her servant forever. She also meets a boy named Haku, voiced by Jing Boran, who will help her through the journey, Peng Yuchang gives life to Kaonashi, and Tian Zhuangzhuang takes the role of Kamaji.

It’s currently the second Studio Ghibli film to make its way in China, the first being My Neighbor Totoro which was digitally remastered and shown in Chinese mainland cinemas last December.

Anime has long been popular with audiences and $83 million of Your Name’s total gross came from the Chinese mainland. The Totoro release was a huge box office success with more than $26 million, and Spirited Away is widely expected to perform even better given its popularity.

Yet, some people are【1】 They claim that surfing the Internet is a waste of time. They make the 【2】 that children spend too much time chatting and playing games instead of 【3】 on their school work. However, a recent survey conducted in the USA shows that 80 per cent of Internet users 【4】 it mostly to search for answers to questions. The second most common use of the Internet, for 79 per cent of Internet users, is to find out information about hobbies. These statistics prove that gathering information is the 【5】 use for the Internet.

35、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Driving an electric car 【1】 to the protection of environment, or so the marketing departments of their makers would have you believe. Yet a report which analyzes car emissions presents a rather different picture. A battery-powered car recharged with 【2】 generated by coal-fired power stations, it found, is likely to be more harmful. It could cause more than three times as many deaths from pollution as a 【3】 petrol-driven vehicle.

The study was carried out by the University of Minnesota. The researchers estimated how levels of fine particulate matter (细颗粒物) and ground-level ozone — two important 【4】 of air pollution — would change when a car is powered by different ways.

It was no surprise that electric cars whose batteries were recharged with power from wind, solar or hydro-electric sources came out to be virtually free from harmful 【5】. They were estimated to cause 231 deaths over the course of a year, compared with 878 for petrol cars. Electric cars recharged with power from natural gas-fired stations were also a lot less harmful than petrol-driven ones, with 439 deaths. But if those same electric cars were recharged 【6】 by coal, they would be responsible for over 3,000 deaths.

Biofuels also caused more health problems than petrol. But diesel, which often  【7】 concern about pollution, is slightly cleaner than petrol. This is because the study assumes for all cars that emission-control technologies will be more widely used, especially particulate filters which have a remarkable effect on cleaning diesel 【8】. Diesel cars are also more 【9】 of fuel than petrol-driven ones.

Overall, the study shows that electric cars are cleaner than those traditional vehicles only if the power used to charge then is also clean. That is hardly a surprise, but the 【10】 of the difference is. How green electric cars really are, then, will depend mainly on where they are driven. In France, which obtains more than half of its power from nuclear station, electric cars look like a good bet. In China and some other developing countries, where a large amount of electricity is produced from coal, they may not be so environment- friendly as they are marketed.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.

41、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。

I love to play the piano and I greatly enjoy performing my music, so when the annual winter recital (独奏会) was canceled, I was disappointed. I had looked forward to it for a long time and had already prepared two of my best songs. My mom had a wonderful idea, however, to turn this disappointing letdown into something worthwhile. “You and your sister should perform your songs at Carriage House Senior Living (养老院),” my mom suggested brightly. “I’m sure the seniors there would really appreciate the music and you could each play more than just two songs.”

I immediately thought this was a great idea. One of the things I did not like about the recitals was that I was limited to playing just a couple of songs. Playing the piano at Carriage House seemed like a win-win situation because not only would I get to play more songs, but I would also have the chance to cheer up the residents at the home with some lively tunes.

My mom called Carriage House and made arrangements for my sister and me to perform. We were told we could play the piano during the Sunday diner hour in two weeks. In the coming days, I worked especially hard to polish up fifteen pieces that I thought the crowd would enjoy, including many old classics. My sister and I decided that first I would play three songs and then she would, taking turns until the end of the hour.

When the much-anticipated day finally arrived, my family and I drove to Carriage House. We were greeted by an old woman who introduced herself as Phyllis. Then we came to the dining room and Phyllis announced to the room, “These two girls have come to sing and want to introduce themselves!” As she handed the microphone to me there was scattered applause.

“Hi, my name is Baylie,” I said with a smile.

“Hi, I’m Chloe,” my sister said shyly.

“We have come here to entertain you with some piano songs. We hope you enjoy our performance,” I enthusiastically announced.

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。

When I sat down and turned to my first song, I felt a little bit nervous.
