ADoha,QatarQatar is currently involved in a major conflict with many other countries in the Middle Eastern region,but visitors to its capital,Doha,will still find themselves in the safest city in the world.It's home to the Museum of Islamic Art,designed by I.M.Pei with inspiration from traditional Islamic architecture,which houses Islamic art from three different continents that have a history of over 1,400 years.Abu Dhabi,United Arab EmiratesDropping down from the top spot last year is Abu Dhabi,the capital of the United Arab Emirates,with a safety index of 88.03.While it has a population of just over 1 million,only 420,000 are actually citizens—whose average net worth is $17 million dollars.It is also home to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque,the country's largest,as well as many camel races.Quebec City,CanadaQuebec City is one of the few cities in North America that still has its original city walls.One of the most romantic cities on the planet,its Old Town was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site,and as a city with just over 700,000 residents,it's got a safety index of 85.36,landing it inthe top three.Osaka,JapanOsaka is the best city in Japan for food,drinks,and nightlife,and it's safer than ever.Make sure you visit Osaka Castle while you're here,which has a park attached,or the nearby Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum,where you can even customize(定制) your own Cup Noodles to take home.21.In which city can you watch a special sports event?A.Doha. B.Abu Dhabi.C.Quebec City.D.Osaka.22.What can you do in Quebec City,Canada?A.Appreciate Islamic art.B.Go to see castles.C.Visit ancient city walls.D.Make the noodles you like.23.What do the cities have in common?A.They have museums.B.They are romantic.C.They have wealthy citizens.D.They are very safe.BThe world can be a scary place when you're young.It can be even scarier when you're a young little blue penguin(企鹅),the tiniest of the penguin species.Luckily,there are some humans willing to help.They stepped in to protect Billy,a blue penguin that appeared on a beach in Christchurch,New Zealand.Spotted on November 29 at the slipway at Moncks Bay,near Sumner,in Christchurch,thelittle penguin immediately attracted a small crowd.Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon,and he biked home to get his camera.When he returned to the scene,he found that the penguin had received a little sign,one that read“Hi,I'm waiting for my mum to come back.DOC(Department of Conservation) knows I'm here.Please leave me alone.Keep your dog away.Thanks,Billy the baby blue penguin.”Billy didn't move away from the sign.The DOC arrived later that afternoon to pick up Billy,though they were surprised to see it on the beach.“It's unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day,”Anita Spencer,a DOC senior ranger,told Stuff.Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach.Volunteers believe the bird may actually be a female penguin,and is around 2 months old.The chick weighs a mere 550 grams,less than a standard basketball.A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age.Most little penguins grow up to weigh 1 kilogram.The center will help the little penguin gain some weight by feeding it fish juice,before it's set free into the ocean.24.Why can the world be frightening to a young penguin?A.It is a rare species.B.It faces potential danger.C.It is surrounded by the crowd.D.It is threatened by dogs.25.It can be inferred from the text that Billy .A.is a male penguinB.has expressed its thanksC.weighs less for its ageD.prefers living on the beach26.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “retrieved” in Paragraph 4?A.Ignored.B.Cured.C.Given away.D.Brought back.27.What will happen to Billy in the center?A.It will be reported to Stuff.B.It will be visited by the locals.C.It will be taken good care of.D.It will be fed with fruit juice.CNot only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet,it also increases pollution and wastes energy and water.Only 23% of all plastic in America ends up in a recycling bin,meaning over $1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year.Recently,Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho.It is a convenient,clear water bottle that can either be drunk or eaten.To drink it,you can either peel off the membrane(薄膜) or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth.To eat it,you simply put the whole bottle in your mouth.One problem the scientists have run into is how to ship lots of Ooho bubbles without arriving with a very wet truck.However,they have attempted to package units of individual bubbles together inside a larger and thicker membrane.It is targeting large outdoor events such as marathons,music festivals,and sporting events,where tons of plastic bottles are used,and frequently left behind as litter.And too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment,which could account for their purpose of such a new invention.The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials needed to produce Ooho;they have recently applied for a patent for their new advancement.The price for an individual bubble or a unit of bubbles has not been set yet,but they cost about two cents to create a unit,which is cheaper than plastic bottles.It has appeared at events in London,San Francisco,Boston,at conferences,festivals,and so on.Ooho is catching many people's attention and has raised over $1 million and gained 1,000 investors in only three days.It is mostly being sold at events at the moment to keep the consumer's interest when the production machine is running.It is quickly making a rise,so keep an eye out this year for these bottles of the future.28.How is most plastic dealt with in America?A.It's sold.B.It's recycled.C.It's buried.D.It's wasted.29.Why did the team invent Ooho?A.To make a profit for a company.B.To protect the environment.C.To make people eat as they drink.D.To reduce the cost of the plastic bottle.30.What can we infer about Ooho from the text?A.It is easy and safe to ship it in large amounts.B.It has become popular since it began to be sold.C.It might be sold at a lower price than plastic bottles.D.It cost the team a lot of money to develop the technology.31.What does the author really want to say in the last paragraph?A.Ooho is to be a success in the future.B.Ooho is being supported by smart people.C.Ooho is taking the place of plastic bottles now.D.Ooho is being produced to attract more investors.DIt's not easy to feel like you're always under the spotlight being judged for each little mistake you make.Your mind is in an endless circle playing what you said and did over and over again.And you wish you had a time capsule to go back and make things change if you find mistakes.You fear what others will think about you and that they will reject and dislike you.You seek to be socially perfect.Academically,you work long endless hours just to make those excellent marks.Althoughmost would say“it's good to have high standards”,they have no idea about the internal hell you put yourself through to achieve perfection.If you come up to less than your desired goal,you will feel as though you have failed,but you're far from failing;you just don't see it that way.So instead you are telling yourself that you're stupid,and not smart.The pressure you place on yourself weighs you down and you wear the“not good enough”label each and every day.You not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others.If people don't perform up to your expectations then you will think them incompetent.This causes a lot of frustration because you can't trust anyone to get things right.So instead of being a team player you fly solo and try to do two or three jobs at once. Your unrealistic expectations cause you to criticize and judge others and that leads to problems in other aspects of your life.The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it's damaging our emotional and mental health.We strive for perfection of our body,our performance,and our relationships.In a society that overstates mistakes,is it any wonder that so many young people attempt the impossible task of being perfect?We all have flaws,fears,and make mistakes,and that's perfectly OK.It's our imperfections that makes life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger and more adaptable person. We don't have to strive to achieve the impossible.We are designed to be perfectly imperfect.32.Where is the text most likely from?A.A diary. B.A novel.C.A magazine.D.A guidebook.33.Which of the following is a perfectionist most likely to agree?A.Nobody is perfect.B.Be generous with praise.C.There is no best, only better.D.A contented mind is an everlasting feast.34.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A.The society is partly to blame for perfectionism.B.More and more people are tolerating mistakes.C.Many young people find it impossible to be perfect.D.It's unusual for a society to seek perfectionism nowadays.35.What does the author think of the imperfection?A.It's unbearable.B.It's part of our life.C.It deserves to be overcome.D.It does harm to our mental health.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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.选项中有两项为多余选项.How to Form a Positive Reading HabitBooks are a source of joy, learnings insight and imagination. How we choose what to read says a lot about our preferences and passions. 31●Give old favorites a re-readThere is a particular kind of pleasure that comes with easing open a well-worn book, flipping through pages you have thumbed before, maybe multiple times. 32 It can bring you back to the time in your life when you last met those characters — You’re left with a rich reflection on who you were, who you are and where you turn for meaning and inspiration.●Learning something newIf you are a lover of novels, think about what your favourites have in common. 33 That can send you down a glorious rabbit hole of no-fiction books that will brighten your understanding of times, places and people who already live in your imagination.●34Book clubs are positive on so many levels, not least of which is that they open your mind to books you might not otherwise have considered. If you don’t belong to one — and even if you do— try to think about your reading choices in a public way. Ask your friends what they are reading and go with any recommendations that interest you.Give yourself permission to move onSometimes you just can’t get through a book — and that’s okay. Just like living positively means acknowledging when it’s time to let go of something that isn’t serving you well, reading positively means giving yourself permission to close a book that isn’t keeping you interested or inspired. 35 The positive pleasure of reading is indeed unending.A. Get social.B. Set up a book club.C. There are unlimited choices to turn to instead, after all.D. Here are some tips for making reading a positive habit in your life.E. Reading books that you enjoy helps maintain your habit and become a life-long reader.F. Re-reading favorite books can do more than bring you back into beloved worlds and stories.G. A particular time in history, region of the world or type of character may become a new theme.第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
