ALast summer I got a real taste of Swiss life when I spent six weeks with a host family in the Bermese Alps.On arriving at Erlenbach where my host family live, I knew I couldn’t have asked for a better setting: it was such a beautiful mountain village.And I couldn’t have asked for a better host family, either. They made me feel like part of their family, rather than a tourist, which was the most wonderful part of my stay there. I joined in my host family's day-to-day activities, whether helping pick berries in the garden or going to friends’houses. I wasn't only travelling around Europe seeingthe major sights, but I lost myself in a different culture.While many Swiss cultures are similar to America's, there are lots of differences, too. For example, most Swiss leave their windows open—without screens—all the time. At first I thought all the bugs (虫子) were going to get in and eat me alive, and wondered why they didn't close the windows and turn on the air conditioner. But then I realised there weren't many bugs and I really enjoyed the fresh air.Probably my biggest shock was the language. I expected the Swiss to speak German, but they spoke a dialect called Swiss German, which has hardly anything in common with German. At times I was very frustrated (受挫的) because my three years of German did not help, but my bad mood did not last. Anyhow, many people knew English and were extremely willing to speak it.Signing up for a cultural exchange was probably the biggest risk I ever took, but it was also the most rewarding. When I left, I promised I would return to Erlenbach. There is more to Switzerland than cheese and watches.21. What did the writer like best about his stay in Switzerland?A. Playing a part in the host family's housework.B. Making lots of friends in the village.C. Feeling a great sense of belonging there.D. Enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Alps.22. How did the writer feel at first when he found his host family always kept the windowsopen?A. Relaxed.B. Worried.C. Disappointed.D. Excited.23. Why was the language the writer's biggest shock during his exchange visit?A. Because he found his German not good enough for communication.B. Because the Swiss spoke English so well that he needn't have learned German.C. Because he had thought that the Swiss spoke German.D. Because the locals told him that Swiss German was almost the same as German.BBritish Women Writers in Different Periods of Time The English RenaissanceThe English Renaissance began in the later part of the fifteenth century and lasteduntil the 1660s. Among the most famous women writers of this period is Aphra Behn, who is seen as the first professional woman writer in English. She wrote a number of plays that dealt with topics such as racism and slavery. A good example is Oroonoko published in 1688. Aphra Behn's works also include the plays The Amourous Prince,The Town Fop, The Dutch Lover and her only tragedy, Abdelazer.The Neoclassical periodAmong the well-known women in British literature during the neoclassical period, from 1660 to the end of the eighteenth century, is Anne Finch. She wrote poetry and tried to express all that she saw and experienced. Two other women are recognised for their contributions to neoclassical British literature: Mary Astell and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Mary Astell was a philosopher and a feminist writer. She is best known now for her theories on the education of women.The Romantic periodJane Austen is one of the most famous women writers that worked during the Romantic period ( 1798- 1832 ). Her works include several novels, most of which focus on marriage as a way for young women to secure social standing and economic security. Her most famous novels are Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma. Another famous woman writer from the English Romanticism is Mary Shelley. She is the author of Frankenstein, History of Six Weeks Tour and The Last Man.The Victorian periodThe Victorian period, between the 1830s and1900, was the time when the Bronte sisters, George Eliot and Elizabeth Gaskell lived and wrote. Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte and Anne Bronte produced many British literary classics. Charlotte's novels include Jane Eyre, Shirley, Villette and The Professor. Mary Anne Evans used the male pen name George Eliot as she wanted to set herself apart from the feminine works of cookbooks and domestic moral tales. Her most famous novel is The Mill on the Floss published in 1860.24. According to the passage, what are Aphra Behn's plays mainly about?A. Cooking and gardening.B. Racism and slavery.C. Economic security.D. Education of women.25.Which period does Jane Austen belong to?A. The Victorian period.B. The English Renaissance.C. The Neoclassical period.D. The Romantic period.26.

It sounded more popular.27. If a reader is interested in women's education,whose works can be the best choice?A. Anne Finch's.B.Mary Astell's.C. Mary Wortley Montagu's.D. Mary Shelley's.CWith the development of our society, cellphones have become a common part in Our lives. Have you ever run into careless cellphone users on the street? Maybe they were busy talking，texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of humans has kept rising, they have been given a new name phubbers ( 低头族).Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cellphone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site，and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his cellphone.A chain of similar events finally leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending of the film seems unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Always bending your head to check your cellphone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors' words. “The neck is like a rope that breaks after long term stretching. Also, staringat cellphones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cellplones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cellphones in broad daylight. Consequently, we should know some approaches to getting rid of these damages.28. Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2 ?A. To tell people the bad effects of phubbing.B. To suggest phubbers will destroy the world.C. To call for people to go walking without phones.D. To advise students to create more cartoons like this.29. According to the passage，what risks may a phubber have?①Destroying the world.②Affecting his social skills.③Damaging his neck and eyesight.④Getting separated from his friends and family.A. ②③④B. ①②④C. ①②③④D. ①③④30. What's the author's attitude towards phubbing?A. Confident.B. Supportive.C. Optimistic.D. Disapproving.31. What will be talked about in the following paragraph?A. Bad effects of phubbing.B Ways to avoid the risks of phubbingC. Methods of phubbing.D. Daily life of phubbers.DFrom the loss of wildlife to rising sea levels, we are all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause. But while it may seem like such issues won’t affect most of us directly, it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate.According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes of the climate in the areas that produce cacao—the plant from which chocolate is produced may mean that it will soon become extinct.Most of the world’s cacao grows in countries close to the equator(赤道), with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast. It’s predicted that by 2050, climate change will have sped up the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there. The problem doesn’t lie in increasing heat, but in lower humidity(湿度), as it’s believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.“In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it is unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture(水分)loss,”wrote Michon Scott, the essay’s author.To help fight with this problem, researchers from Berkeley University in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene editing technology, according to US News. In the meantime, Mars, one of the world’s biggest companies of chocolate products, announced that it would spend 1 billion dollars to help reduce the effects of climate change.“This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together,” Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider.The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst influences of climate change. Or if we're unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past.32. What will make it hard for cacao to survive around the equator in the future?A. The decrease of rainfall.B. The increasing heat.C. The higher humidity.D. The moisture loss in the soil.33. What does the underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Bring up.B. Make up.C. Use up.D. Dry up.34. What will Mars do to help cacao survive?A. It will work hard to plant cacao in greenhouses.B. It will give financial support to help fight climate change.C. It will use the gene editing technology to plant cacao.D. It will develop cacao that can survive in dryer conditions.35. What is this article mainly about?A. The influence that cacao plants have on climate change.B. Problems cacao plants could face and the possible solutions.C. The significance of working together to fight climate change.D. Some new research and findings about growing cacao.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
