17、 attracted too little attention from society as a whole. For example, people may shrink physically as they get older and have a higher incidence(發(fā)生率) of falls, but how many people have thought about buying a more comfortable and stable chair for their elderly parents?We spend generously on our child

18、ren, such as hiring a nanny to take care of them .When we look for a nanny for our baby, we believe that someone who charges 8.000 yuan must be better than a person who charges 5, 000 yuan because they have a better grasp of how to interact with babies, But when we look for someone to take care of o

19、ur elderly parents, we usually keep the cost as low as possible, We just want to make sure that caregivers will prepare three meals a day for our seniors, but we dont take their psychological needs into consideration.The differences in attitudes are obvious. However, we are not yet old, so perhaps i

20、ts hard for us to understand the bitterness of the elderly: regression(衰退)in health, a handful of pills every day, not being able to catch up with developments in the digital age, and the disappearance of the old streets and favorite restaurants from the good old days. Those are the kinds of lives t

21、hey live and we may even live through something similar in the decades to come.If we think about how we want to be treated when we grow old, we should start the changes today. Because the elderly were once the backbone of society and made huge contributions, they should enjoy the fruits of the count

22、rys development as well1What situation might old people face according to the text?AA high and stable income. BPhysical inconvenience.CMuch concern from the public.

BThey are worth the attention from societyCThey should start to change themselves DThey need a handful of pills every day.B14、Chinas national anthem, March of the Volunteers, is a song that we learn at the beginn

25、ing of primary school and sing at every flag-raising ceremony. And now, theres even a law to protect it.Last September, the government passed the National Anthem Law, which became effective(生效)from Oct.1, 2017. It states how we should sing or play the song, requiring all of us to behave towards it p

26、olitely.Primary and middle schools must teach the anthem to their students and make them understand the songs spirit and history. Moreover, the law requires us to be serious when we are singing the song. We cant joke about it or change the songs words or music. If someone breaks the law, he or she c

27、an be detained for up to 15 days, or face further punishment in more serious situations. The national anthem is different from other songs it is the symbol of our country.Many foreign countries also have laws for their national anthems. For example, American school children should put their right ha

28、nd over their heart while singing their countrys anthem at school. In Russia, the national anthem must be played on television and radio before the start and end of broadcasting.

31、g elephants for their tusks has long been a problem worldwide. Although laws have been introduced to ban the selling of tusks, they have not been enough to save the elephants.But the giant animals have now “developed” their own solution to stay safe from huntersby not growing tusks at all.Scientists

32、 found that among female African elephants, as many as 98 percent of them now have no tusks, reported The Independent newspaper. The number was 15 percent in 1998 and only 1 percent in 1930, according to the BBCBut this solution has less been developed by elephants themselves, and more by evolution.

33、Evolution is all about natural selection（選擇）. When an environment changes, for example, animals and plants that can deal with the change will stay alive while others wont. And for elephants, the change came when hunters started killing them for their tusks. As a result, elephants with big tusks coul

34、dnt stay alive because hunters wanted to shoot them. Those born with tusks managed to stay alive and give their “tuskless” genes（基因）to their babies. As a result, more and more elephants are now being born without tusks.But this solution, as effective（有效地）as it might be, is a high price to pay for el

35、ephants. Tusks are important and play a number of roles, especially for male elephants, including fighting with other males, lifting and digging things up.This is why scientists hope there can be other ways to protect elephants against hunters. They believe that when they are less likely to be kille

36、d , elephants will be able to grow tusks again.To David Cowdrey, head of Policy and Campaigns at the International Found for Animal Welfare UK, however, this is not very likely to happen in the near future.“Unfortunately, it comes down to the markets,” he told The Guardian. “As long as people will p

37、ay high prices for products that come from endangered animal and plants, theyre going to have price on them and that causes the hunting.”1Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AElephants learned to lift and dig things up without tusks.BElephants chose not to grow tusks because of t

38、heir dangerous environment.CElephants with no tusks had a greater chance of passing down their genes.DA tuskless elephant gives birth to more baby elephants than an elephant with big tusks.2The underlined word “evolution” in paragraph 4 means “_” ?Agradual change Bsudden development Ccomplete loss D

39、rapid growth3What can you learn from the last two paragraphs?AWe should work out a better solution to protect elephants.BPeople should pay lower prices for products made with elephant tusks.CElephants living environments will soon be improved.DThe key to elephant protection is stopping the trade in

40、tusk products.D16、When Leonardo DiCaprio stepped onto the stage to accept the Academy Award for Best Actor on February 28, he received a rare standing ovation(鼓掌歡呼).After five acting nominations and 22 years of disappointed hopes since his first nomination(for Whats Eating Gilbert Grape in 1993), th

41、e 41-year-old actor finally won his first Oscar for his effort in the film The Revenant, which hit Chinese cinemas on March 18.DiCaprios career took off when he played the romantic lead in Titanic(1997). However, the film also gave him the name “pretty boy”. People pay more attention to his face tha

42、n his acting. DiCaprio has been known as one of the pickiest actors in Hollywood. Instead of winning hearts in romantic films, he chose to work with more challenging productions.For the role of Hugh Glass, an 1820s fur trapper in The Revenant, DiCaprio wore 47 different prosthetics(特效假體), slept in d

43、ead animals, and ate a bison liver. For over half the film, he crawled(爬) on the ground. An article in Life Week wrote, “Compared with DiCaprios terrible experience in The Revenant, Robinson Crusoes seems as easy and comfortable as a vacation.”His effort was accepted by the Academy. After he has fin

44、ally earned the US top acting award, DiCaprio is now working harder, turning to different challenges.1How many acting nominations did Leonardo DiCaprio win?ATwo. BThree. CFour. DFive.2In which film did Leonardo DiCaprio win the Oscar for Best Actor?ATitanic. BRobinson Crusoe.CThe Revenant. DWhats Ea

45、ting Gilbert Grape.3What can we learn from the passage?AThe film was first shown in China on February 28, 2016.BLeonardo DiCaprio is one of the pickiest actors in Hollywood.CLeonardo DiCaprio wants to be a supermodel in the near future.DRobinsons experience is more terrible than DiCaprios in The Rev

46、enantE17、Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. Du Fu, known as the Sage of Poetry, lived and wrote in the eighth century, and his work is still available to modern Chinese readers. Du Fu, in fact, is still widely quoted (引用) in China today,

47、and he has had a great influence on Chinese poetry in the past 1,200 years. However, the poets complete works werent unavailable in English translation in the past. Conant University Professor Stephen Owen, who spent eight years on The Poetry of Du Fu, a 3,000translation published by De Gruyter, has

48、 completed the first English translation of the complete works of Du Fu.Because Du Fu, like Shakespeare, is known for great width in subject, in the way he uses language to pass on different registers (不同場(chǎng)合用的語(yǔ)言和文體) (see “Out with the Sake, In With the Wine”) and layered (多層次的) meanings he is one of

49、the most challenging poets to translate. Chinese poetry, a literary tradition in which tenses are absent, pronouns rare, and the use of the singular and plural forms are hard to understand, is well known for seeming ambiguous (模糊不清的) at times. Within that tradition, the interpretation of Du Fus work

50、 is especially contested. Owens critical edition, in which his translations face the original texts, brings a scholarly aid for the first time to English-speaking readers ready to engage with Chinas literary lion.1“Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary

51、tradition.” means “ ”.ADu Fu has the same important literary status as Shakespeare in their own countriesBDu Fu is not as well-known as Shakespeare in ChinaCDu Fu is much more famous than Shakespeare in England2The Poetry of Du Fu is translated into English by .AShakespeare BDu Fu CStephen Owen3The

52、underlined sentence is closer to the original Chinese version “ ”.A零落棲遲一杯酒，主人奉觴客長(zhǎng)壽B莫思身外無(wú)窮事，且盡生前有限杯C花間一壺酒，獨(dú)酌無(wú)相親4Chinese poems are hard to translate because of the following factors EXCEPT .Athe use of singular and plural formsBtoo many charactersCtenses and pronouns5According to the passage, the foll

53、owing statement “ ” is TRUE.AThe Poetry of Du Fu is the first English translation of the complete works of Du Fu.BThere was no English translation of Dus works in the past.CDus works are out of style in China today.F18、Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a lo

54、ng time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem , airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they dont want to lose customers.H

55、owever, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude( 海拔 )we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in a

56、ir pressure( 氣壓 ) reduces one third of the sensibility(感覺(jué) )of our taste buds( 味蕾 ).So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses dont know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers s

57、alty and spicy( 辛辣 )food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they cant deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.1In Paragraph2,“this problem” means _.Apassengers stay long in the plan
