She took the car to pick up something from the bookstore.(Text 2)W：Lisa said she mailed me some books, but they never came.M：Well, you just moved into a new dormitory. She probably sent them out before she had your new address.(Text 3)M：Do you like playing volleyball?W：Yes. I often play it with my friends, but my favorite sport is tennis.M：I love playing tennis, too, but I like football best.(Text 4)W：In the future I hope to be a movie actress.M：Why do you want to be a movie actress?W：It's because I love acting.

You looked tired.W：I didn't sleep well last night.M：A stomachache or headache?W：Neither. It was the noise. It almost drove me mad.(Text 6)M：Hi, Jane. Where are you going this holiday?W：My family and I had planned to go to Dalian, but recently we changed our minds and decided to go to Lijiang.M：Ah, that's great! You know I've always dreamed of going to Dali and Lijiang. Will you go by train or by car?W：Neither. Actually, we'll fly. We went to a travel agency last month, and they've made all the arrangements. We will set off next Monday.M：Sounds wonderful. I'm sure you'll have a good time. I hope you really enjoy yourselves.W：Thanks. I hope so, too.(Text 7)M：Alice, why the long face?W：I can't believe it.

Let's meet at the café in front of the cinema half an hour before the movie begins.M：OK.(Text 10)I was walking around Beijing the other day when I saw a sign for The Bookworm. It's a really cool café that also has great food, and sometimes they have music and other special events. Well, it just so happened that there was a literary festival going on that featured writers and photographers working in China, and I saw that Peter Hessler was going to be speaking at the festival at 7：30 that very night! Peter Hessler is probably my favorite writer at the moment； he used to write about China for The New Yorker, a famous American magazine, and he also wrote three books about his experiences living and working in Beijing. His writing is really funny and super clever, and I was so excited to hear him speak that I went right over to The Bookworm, booked a seat at the bar, and waited for him to arrive. I waited and waited, but he still was a no­show. Finally, at 8：30, I asked one of the staff when he was supposed to be there.“Peter Hessler？”the guy replied.“He's not supposed to be here tonight. He was here last year, though.”It was then that I realized my mistake. I had come on the right day, just not in the right year！第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AThis idea is mean (刻薄的). Children need to have a good holiday at the end of a busy school year. The long holidays give them time to do things they wouldn't otherwise (不然) get to do. In my family we go to Ireland and see relatives and friends during the summer vacation. And it might seem long to some people, but time flies when you're having fun.Ruby MullinI have good memories (记忆) of my own long summer holidays, and I love the chance to have days out with my son. I think many parents, especially single parents like me, have made job choices based on being able to have time off for the summerand now we've done that, we don't want to see things changed.Viki BantockHaving worked at a school that had a four­week summer break instead of the usual six, I'd say longer holidays are better. Teachers are under so much pressure (压力) now to get good results; most put in lots of hours in the evening and at weekends and feel very tired by the end of term.There is a dip(退步) in learning after a six­week holiday, but it only takes a few weeks for students to get back up to speed.Marek KaminskiA shorter summer holiday would be much better. The six­week break seems a thing for another age, when mothers didn't work and your mum lived round the corner to give you a hand. If I was able to take a six­week holiday, great, I'd love itbut in the real world that isn't possible. Instead, I end up spending around 600 on childcare for each week when I'm working.Nachelle Crowther【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个人对学校暑假时长的看法。21What does Ruby Mullin usually do during summerholidays?AShe does part­time jobs.BShe visits relatives and friends.CShe goes travelling around her country.DShe prepares for the new school year.B解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In my family we go to Ireland and see relatives and friends during the summer vacation.”可知，鲁比·穆林暑假期间去爱尔兰看望亲戚朋友。22What do we know about Marek Kaminski?AHe doesn't teach school any more.BHis son doesn't do well in school.CHe usually works overtime.DHis family is very helpful.C解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Teachers.put in lots of hours in the evening and at weekends”可知，作为一名老师，马雷克·卡明斯基经常加班。23Who holds a different idea from the other three people?ARuby Mullin.BViki Bantock.CMarek Kaminski.DNachelle Crowther.D解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Children need to have a good holiday at the end of a busy school year.”和“it might seem long to some people, but time flies when you're having fun”，第二段中的“I have good memories (记忆).have days out with my son.”和“we don't want to see things changed”，第三段中的“I'd say longer holidays are better”以及第四段中的“A shorter summer holiday would be much better.”可知，四个人中只有克劳瑟的看法与其他人不同，她认为暑假应该缩短。BSome people work a job their whole lives and it is nothing more than a job. Carole and Russ Cassidy were lucky. They found their passion (热爱) in life through their work as special education teachers. But the Cassidys say they are even luckier in retirement (退休生活)“We just did not want to be sitting and not doing anything in retirement，” Carole Cassidy says. “We tried a couple of things and they were not meant for us.”Soon, they found the Princeton Public Library's Children's Storytime program and wanted to be part of it at once.“We were lucky; they came and found us and asked to volunteer，” Rebecca Marrs, Children's Librarian at the Princeton Public Library says. Marrs says the kids love the retired special education teachers and are able to interact (互动) on a better level.Marrs began the Children's Storytime program at the Princeton Public Library about seven years ago. The Book Babies program, for newborns to 3­year­olds, is held on Thursday and the Preschool program is held on Friday. And the whole storytime program is free to all kids. Storytime begins with stories being read by Marrs, then activities time.The Cassidys and Marrs both say that they do not expect the children to sit still during storytime. They understand that children can listen while also playing with blocks.“I love being with kids. The best part of my work here is to watch kids playing together and using their imagination，” Carole Cassidy says. “For example, I ask them why they made a robot with blocks and they explain it to me. Their imagination is so good.”Storytime is on a hiatus (间断) until springtime, but Marrs says there will be several storytimes during the winter break.“They learn from us, but more importantly they learn from each other and how to work with other kids，” Marrs says.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一对曾任教师的退休夫妇到图书馆做儿童读书项目志愿者的事迹。24Why do the Cassidys say they are lucky after retirement?AThey are often visited by child volunteers.BThey finally have time to enjoy their hobbies.CThey have found the volunteer work they love.DThey are offered volunteer work by their community.C解析：推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段以及倒数第三段可知，这对夫妇退休后尝试了许多事情，都不是他们喜爱的；最终他们找到了图书馆儿童读书项目，在那里做志愿者，并且喜爱那里的工作。因此可推断，该夫妇认为在退休之后能做自己喜爱的事情是很幸运的。25The Children's Storytime program at the Princeton Public Library_Abegan in 2017Bis held on weekendsCwelcomes children under sixDwas started by Rebecca MarrsD解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Marrs began the Children's Storytime program at the Princeton Public Library about seven years ago.”可知，这个项目是由玛尔斯发起的。26What does Carole like best in the library?AAnswering questions raised by children.BSeeing children use their imagination.CBuilding robots with children.DReading stories to children.B解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“The best part of my work here is to watch kids playing together and using their imagination”可知，卡罗尔对这份志愿者工作最爱的部分是与孩子们相处并见证他们的想象力。27Which of the following can be the best title for this text?ARetired Teachers Volunteer StorytimeBBest Ways to Live the Retirement LifeCThe Children's Storytime ProgramDThe Magic of Being with ChildrenA解析：标题归纳题。本文介绍一对退休教师夫妇在儿童读书项目做志愿者的事迹，A项覆盖了本文内容的关键词retired teachers、volunteer和storytime，故A项作标题最合适。CSports are full of math. It is not just the score of the games but lots of other numbers. So if you like all the numbers in sports, you may want to check out the National Math Festival (NMF) from 10 am to 4 pm Saturday at the Walter EWashington Convention Center.The festivalthis is the third NMFwill be full of fun activities related to math for kids. There is a new game called Flagway, in which teams of five to eight players move across a game floor using their speed and knowledge of math.John Urschel, who once played for a famous American football team, will speak about the physics (science and math) in football. He is studying advanced (高等的) math at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.But it's not all sports at the festival. There will be lots of other activities on how math is related to such non­sports activities as dance, music and the environment.Like magic shows? Magician Mark Mitton will show how you can play tricks (把戏) in front of your friends with everyday objects.Did you see the movie Frozen? Joseph Teran, a teacher at the University of California, Los Angeles, will speak about the math behind the special effects (效果) in the movie. Speaking of movies, the festival will show a film from the science television series Nova called Prediction(预测) by the Numbers. It shows how math is used to predict many things, including storms and TV game shows.Kids and adults (成年人) will be playing board games during all six hours of the festival. You can bring your favorite game or just join in the fun.Kirsten Bohl, the project director of the NMF,
