Festival.

celebrated it as Valentine’s Day in China.

Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code( 二维
码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate ( 产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets
easier” said Gao. “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his
own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone.”
The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans( 扫描)his students’ QR
codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many
pictures, music and even videos.
Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many
students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun,” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Guo said. “It is worth trying to use
new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the
times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on
computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up
information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in
their homework, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the Students’
work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.
24．According to the passage, students can keep their homework on________.
A．WeChat B．QQ C．e-mail D．blog
25．Guo’s students think the new way is________.
A．strange B．boring C．interesting D．unnecessary
26．Some parents are worried, because they think their children will________.
A．talk with teachers face to face B．spend too much time on computers
C．not like the new way of handing in homework D．find the QR codes too difficult to use
27．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Teachers needn’t check homework any more. B．Students needn’t hand in homework any more.
C．Using QR codes makes checking homework easier. D．Some parents are worried about their children.
C
It is late autumn—millions of gardeners across the northern hemisphere, pulled on their thickest sweaters,
spent hours clearing large piles of leaves and packed them into plastic bags at the end of driveways.
In the US alone, nearly 10 million tonnes of garden waste go to landfill every year. That is a large amount of
effort, not just from an environmental viewpoint but from that of our aching backs, too. So where does this advice
come from? Well, it largely comes from the belief that thick fallen leaves can make plants under them unable to
breathe, especially shorter grass. They shut down important photosynthesis ( 光合作用) and get in the way of the
growth of the shorter grass. However, this received wisdom has recently been questioned by researchers at
Wisconsin University.
The key finding of their new research was that although clearing fallen leaves is one of the most common
gardening practices, it makes very little sense. In natural ecosystems, fallen leaves help return nutrients necessary
for healthy plant growth to the soil, which greatly improves soil condition. Removing leaves year after year
breaks this ecological (生态的) balance. Letting some leaves stick around to cover your garden is a great way to
help your grass and the local ecosystem.
They further explained that if up to 50percent of your grass lawn ( 草坪) is covered by fallen leaves, you
might as well go back indoors and put your feet up. The advantages of this light leaf coverage far outweigh the
disadvantages—the leaves will quickly break down and help next year’s lawn grow far better than if you had
cleared them. Only at over 50 percent coverage do the Wisconsin researchers recommend clearing.
So why not consider leaving the leaves? Save time, carbon and effort, and in exchange get a healthier lawn
from this garden waste—that seems like a pretty good deal. And how many plastic bags could be saved by simply
not binning fallen leaves every year? In the US alone, about 700 million.
28．What does the author describe in paragraph 1?
A．An amazing autumn game. B．A common sight in gardens.
C．A hot attraction in the north. D．An extreme weather event.
29．What is the received wisdom?
A．Fallen leaves need not be cleared B．Fallen leaves protect shorter grass.
C．Fallen leaves block photosynthesis. D．Fallen leaves are hard to break down.
30．The new research finds clearing fallen leaves makes little sense, because ________.
A．it ruins city image B．it breaks gardening rules
C．it affects local economy D．it causes ecological damage
31．What’s the author’s attitude to Wisconsin University’s study?
A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Unclear. D．Worried.
D
With low or no-carbohydrate diets rising in popularity in recent times, the potato is now regularly
overlooked in favour of other vegetables. In fact, research literature has previously indicated potatoes may have a
detrimental effect on health, such as increasing the possibility of developing Type2 diabetes(糖尿病).
However, new research done by Edith Cowan University (ECU) has shown while potatoes may not have all
the same benefits as some other vegetables, such as lowering risk of Type 2 diabetes, health issues associated with
potatoes may actually be due to how people are preparing them and what they’re eating them with.
A recent analysis of this study led by Dr Nicola Bondonno from ECU’s Nutrition and Health Innovation
Research Institute found people who consumed the most vegetables were 21 percent less likely to develop Type 2
diabetes than those who consumed the least amount of vegetables. PhD candidate Pratik Pokharel carried out
work on the analysis and said while potatoes didn’t have the same impact on Type 2 diabetes, they also didn’t
have any negative effect.
“In Denmark, people consume potatoes prepared in many different ways. In our study, we could distinguish
between the different preparation methods. When we separated boiled potatoes from mashed potatoes( 土豆泥),
fries or crisps, boiled potatoes were no longer associated with a higher risk of diabetes: They had a zero effect,”
said Pokharel.
“In our study, people who ate the most potatoes also consumed more butter, red meat and soft drinks-foods
known to increase your risk of Type 2 diabetes,” said Pokharel. “We should separate potatoes from other
vegetables in regard to messaging about disease prevention but replacing refined grains such as white rice and
pasta( 意 大 利 面 食 )with potatoes can improve your diet quality because of fibre and other nutrients found in
potatoes.”
32．What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Magical. B．Protective. C．Fantastic. D．Negative.
33．What may contribute to the bad reputation of potatoes according to ECU’s research?
A．The effects they have caused. B．The ways they are consumed.
C．The places where they are planted. D．The results previous studies have shown.
34．Which of the following have little effect on Type 2 diabetes?
A．Fries. B．Crisps. C．Boiled potatoes. D．Mashed potatoes.
35．What is Pokharel’s attitude towards potatoes?
A．Critical. B．Opposed. C．Indifferent. D．Objective.

Planning is the best way to make sure you don’t lose track of your goals. Plan your workouts for the week
and mark them in your schedule to assure they are a part of your day.
Exercise early.
38 . Make sure workouts are in the morning and you’ll set yourself up for a productive day. Then you
can enjoy holiday activities and time with family without worrying about when you’ll have time to exercise.

holidays. In addition to staying active, try to avoid sitting for long periods of time, such as when watching
football games or eating. 39 .

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，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life, college sets the stage
for that exploration. I myself went through this 41 process and found something that has changed my 42 at
college for the better: I discovered ASL-American Sign Language.
I never felt an urge(冲动)to 43 any sign language before. My entire family is hearing, and so are all my
friends. The 44 language were enough in all my interactions. Little did I know that I would discover my 45
for ASL.
The story began during my first week at college. I watched as the ASL Club 46 their translation of a song.
Both the hand movements and the very idea of communicating without speaking 47 me. What I saw was
completely unlike anything I had experienced in the 48 . This newness just left me 49 more.
After that, feeling the need to explore further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL Club's meetings. I only
learned how to 50 the alphabet(字母表)that day. Yet instead of being discouraged by my 51 progress, I was
excited. I then made it a point to 52 those meetings and learn all I could.
The following term, I registered an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was 53 . I soon
realized that the silence was not unpleasant. 54 if there had been any talking, it would have caused us to learn
less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the 55 way of communication it opens.
