They
18、advise local governments on ways to improve communities, and they design entirely new communities. In South Florida, for example, city planners are working to improve existing communities. The population of the area (21) _ (expect) to increase from 5.5 million to 7.5 million by 2020. The growth is h
19、eaded to the west, (22) _ there is still open land. But western growth creates a costly need for new roads, and is a threat (23)_ the ecological system of the Florida Everglades（沼泽地）. City planners are trying to lure（诱惑） people back into the older, (24)_ (developed) eastern section of the region by
20、funneling growth in that direction and away from the western section. City planners also plan and develop new communities. These communities, called new cities or new towns, (25) _ (include) both places to live and places to work. New cities, such as Brazils capital Brasilia, a community founded in
21、1900, (26) _ be constructed far from existing cities. Such cities are designed with enough facilities and job opportunities for all residents. (27)_ (build) completely new cities is very costly, however, Brasilia and Canberra, Australia, are two examples of the few new cities that have ever been com
22、pleted. New towns are different from new cities (28) _ _ they are built within commuting distance of large cities. They may also be planned communities within a city. New towns provide jobs for many of their residents, but they also rely on neighboring cities for jobs. Two of the first new towns (29
23、) _ (build) in the United States were Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia. At the end of the 20th century, (30) _ estimated 100 new towns were planned or under construction in the United States.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only

I spend a lot of time with students, such as those I encountered not long ago on a memorable visit to Wendell Phillips High School, an inner-city school on Chicagos south side.Before I spoke, the people who invited me to the Windy City held a reception (41) _. There I met and talked with sc
33、hool officials and local religious leaders, many of whom informed me about the (42) _ neighborhood where the school is located. They indicated that (43) _ influence was widespread, living conditions were miserable in the surrounding public housing developments, dropout statistics were high, and SAT
34、scores were low.It sounded like a lot of other high schools I have visited around the country. Yet (44) _ strong were these warnings that, on the crosstown drive to the school, I could not help wondering what kind of reception I would receive from the students.I (45) _ not have worried. When I walke
35、d into Wendell Phillips High School, its long deserted hallways gave the building an empty feel. The entire student body had already been (46) _ from class and was assembled quietly in the schools auditorium.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marke
43、d A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）On April 2, 2012, in the Diamond Creek subdivision of Forney, Texas, the Enochs family awoke to an ordinary day. Sherry Enochs, 52, opened the doors of her at-home day care to the
44、two small children she would be watching that day. At around 11:30, Sherrys daughter Lindsey, 22, kissed her 19-month-old son, Laine, left him in her mothers care, and hurried off to her own day care job.Quiet, strong and compassionate, Sherry had spent her life taking care of everyone. Shed raised
45、five children of her own and was doting a grandmother. Today, in addition to Laine and the two children she was watching - 19-month-old Abigail and three-year old Connor - the house was home to two dogs and a couple of goldfish.Around midday, she got a call from her daughter Megan, 26, who was five
46、months pregnant and lived about 10km away in Heartland.” Look at the TV, Mum,” she said.On-screen, news crews were showing footage from Lancaster, just 50km away, of a tornado hurling tractor-trailers around.“Is it coming this way?” asked Sherry.“No. It sounds like its going to stay west of Forney.”
47、Relieved, Sherry turned her attention back to the children, busying herself to such an extent that she never heard the sirens warning the residents to seek shelter. Laine was in his toddler bed watching a cartoon. Connor and Abigail were playing on the floor. Then Sherrys phone rang: Megan again.“Mu
48、m, look outside!” This time there was a note of urgency in her voice. Sherry went down the hallway to her bedroom. She looked out the window, and her heart lodged in her throat. A tornado was tearing across the open field adjacent to the subdivision. It was massive - a great vaporous funnel（漏斗）with
49、a sharp bend in it becoming narrow to an earthward point. Behind it the sky was black. A jagged bolt of lightning fired inside the funnel. The twisters path was now obvious: it was heading right into Diamond Creek.“Is here, Megan,” Sherry yelled. “The tornado is here!”Keeping Megan on the phone, she
50、 ran down the hall to the front room. There she lifted Laine and Abigail and hustled Connor back up the hallway and into the middle bathroom. “Get in the tub,” she ordered the bewildered kids. The Enochs had no cellar, so the tub would be the safest place to take cover.Sherry climbed into the bathtu
51、b and sat Abigail and Connor shoulder-to-shoulder, placing her legs over them.56. According to the passage, which of the following can best describe Sherry? A. Brave and dumb. B. Passionate and reliant. C. Caring and cool-hearted. D. Responsible and childish.57.Why didnt Sherry take necessary precau
52、tions（预防措施）when Megan called for the first time? A. She was too busy taking care of the kids to take any measures. B. She was told that the tornado would not sweep the area she lived. C. She answered the phone so that she missed the warning. D. She was confident of dealing with this common disaster
53、properly.58. When did Sherry notice the sign of the tornado? A. When the family got up that morning. B. When Lindsey left to work. C. When Sherry turned on the television. D. When Megan called for the second time.59. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Megan regret
54、ted giving the false information to her mother. B. Sherry made best use of whatever she could find to take shelter. C .Sherry couldnt afford the time to get into the cellar. D. The kids realized the danger by instinct and thus became obedient.（B）Hillary vs. The DonaldFor years, general and politicia
55、ns used sports metaphors to explain some of the most consequential issues of our time. So just this once, lets flip the script. Forget for a moment that the future of America - not to mention civilization - hangs in the balance. Instead, imagine the debate as a sporting event.Think Trump as Mike Tys
56、on. Announcer:” Hes still looking to land that one big punch. And hes had it with the fact-checking low blows and policy-question clinches. Hold on! Did he just bite the top of her ear off?”Or Clinton as the late, usually mid-mannered Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green, firing back at critics who
57、suggested she didnt take her opponent seriously enough:” He is who we thought he was! Thats why I took the stage! Now if you want to crown him, you can crown him! But he is who we thought he was!”Its so tempting that a number of political analysts are using sports-writing tools to break down the mat
58、chup: offense vs. Defense, strengths and weaknesses, how the coaching staffs and straining facilities compete with each other, even how the practice sessions have been going.No one has posted a point spread yet, so feel free to add your own, mercifully.The best comparisons to the Clinton-Trump battl
59、e from different sports:FOOTBALLClinton is serious and prepared. She uses her practice time purposefully. She has experience, a multitude of game plans and knows how to manage the clock. If she was a player, shed be Peyton Manning. If she was a coach-lets see: wonky, secretive, willing to bend rules
60、, even got caught recently fudging an injury report-shed be Bill Bellicose. Definitely Bellicose.As a plays and never saw a throw he wouldnt make. If he was a coach, hed be Chip Kelly in his Oregon days, breaking the mold with his house-on-fire offensive attack. Or maybe Steve Hurried at Florida, le
61、ss worried about what his opponents might do than whether he could sneak out of a film session and squeeze in nine holes before sundown.60. The writers purpose of writing this passage is to _. A. indicate the subtle relationship between sporting events and election campaignB. educate the public on t
62、he wide use of sports metaphorsC. compare the candidates and issue an appeal for votes for HillaryD. entertain the public by using sports metaphors in politics61. The underlined phrase “break down” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _. A. stop working because of a fault B. change something into
63、 a different form C. change peoples fixed attitude towards something D. divide something into parts to understand it better62. According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?A. Bill Belichick is Hillarys favorite football coach.B. Hillary met with criticism for underestimating he
64、r opponent.C. If Trump went in for boxing, he would bite his opponents car.D. Issues of great importance can be solved in an easy-going way.（C）Just one bite of cake that is made with eggs is enough to make John feel very sick. Susan gets a terrible rash(皮疹)whenever she eats anything containing seafo
65、od, and David nearly died when he first ate a cookie that included peanuts. David had trouble breathing after he ate the cookie, but his mother knew what to do and she quickly gave him medicine that helped him feel better almost right away. The bodys reaction to certain foods can be quite severe, re
66、sulting in breathing problems, as in Davids case, or loss of consciousness for some. There are many things we eat may cause our bodies to react badly if we have a food allergy(食物过敏). The most common food allergies seem to be related to milk, soy, eggs, wheat flour, peanuts, nuts, and seafood. In fac
67、t, these kinds of foods account for 90% of food allergiesAccording to some studies, the number of children who have a food allergy is growing. But some people now argue that test results might not actually be accurate, so food allergies are not really as common as they may appearThere are three typi
68、cal ways that doctors test for food allergies. Probably the most accurate way is for a doctor to give a child a food challenge, for this, the doctor watches the child eat small amounts of certain foods to see if the child has an allergic reaction or not. This method is very time consuming so it is u
69、sed less often than the other two methods: skin tests and blood tests. In a skin test, a doctor puts very small amounts of the parts of the foods that the child may be allergic to under the childs skin, then watches to see if the childs skin reacts to the allergens(过敏原). In a blood test, doctors tak
70、e some of the childs blood and add possible allergens to it and then look for chemicals in the blood that indicate a possible allergic reactionA problem with both the skin test and the blood test is that neither will show how severe an allergic reaction might be. If a test result is positive, the ch
71、ild may have a severe reaction by eating this food, but the child might just as likely only have a slight rash. The test will not show which of these might be the caseDr. Jennifer Chafen of Stanford University studied 10 years worth of allergy research to check how accurate the tests are. She found
72、a surprising fact. Skin tests or blood tests given to patients who visited their doctors for treatment of rashes or stomachaches showed that these patients were allergic to certain foods. However, later tests showed that although these patients tested positive, fewer than 50 percent of them actually
73、 had blood allergies. So were the results false and can we rely on these test results?The problem might be food intolerance rather than a food allergy. While food allergies are mainly related to a persons immune system, food intolerance is related to a persons digestive system and the reaction is us
74、ually less severe. One of the most common kinds of food intolerance is related to people who have trouble digesting the sugar in products like milk, cheese, and ice creamDoctors are not sure why the number of cases of food allergies is rising. One factor that may explain part of the problem is our c
75、leaner environment. Most children are exposed to fewer germs these days and some researchers think that for some people, their bodys immune system makes work for itself by reacting as if certain foods are harmfulWhile allergy test results may show false positive results, the tests are still useful a
76、nd can save lives. Some children lose their food allergies as they get older, so even though doctors do not have a cure for food allergies, sometimes the body finds its own cure63. What is the passage mainly about?A. Different kinds of allergy testsB. A new allergy test that works very wellC. When c
77、hildren should be tested for allergiesD. The environmental factor in the rise in allergies.64. According to the passage, which test gives the most accurate results?A. The blood test B. The food challengeC. The common allergen testD. The skin test 65. What do skin tests and blood tests NOT show?A. Wh
78、ether a certain food will produce a rash or notB. Whether test results are positive or notC. Whether a person is allergic to a certain foodD. Whether allergic reactions are severe or not66. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?A. About half of the people with food aller
79、gies are also milk intolerant.B. Allergies affect the digestive system more than the immune system.C. Food intolerance is usually not as serious as food allergies.D. Sugar is a very common allergen for many people.Section DDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sent
80、ence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. People redefine themselves and their family relationships.B. Yes, the definition of mother has changed for some women, but not for all.C. If there was a “mother,” then usually there wa
81、s a “father.”D. Children need parents who will love them, not own them or use them.AB. After two years of carefully thinking about the decision, Marianne chose to adopt and now has a beautiful little boy.AC. This untraditional parent thinks he is lucky.Whats in a word?Some words are more difficult t
82、han others to explain or define. Some are hard to define because we have strong feelings about them. We have strong emotions about word such as divorce or childhood. We may feel sad, happy, or angry when we think about these words. Definitions of other words have changed as people and the world have
83、 changed. Traditionally, the word mother meant both female parent and primary caregiver (the person who cares for the children).The word father meant both male parent and breadwinner (the person who earns money for the family). (67)_ In generally, this is still true, but two points of this tradition
84、al definition are changing.There is a growing number of single women who want to be mothers. They have not included a man, or “father,” in their plans. These women are choosing to have babies and raise them alone. They are not widows or divorces. They are mostly women with good jobs. They are econom
85、ically independent. They are in their late 30s, and they have never found “Mr. Right”(a man they would like to marry).”I decide I wasnt going to turn 40 without at least exploring the possibility of having a child,” explains Marianne Boswell, a single mother living in the Boston area.” I wanted it t
86、o be a conscious decision, as opposed to something that just didnt happen to me.”These women become mothers in different ways. Some adopt a baby. Some carefully choose a partner. Others choose donor insemination, a medical process that can cause pregnancy. The National Center for Health Statistics r
87、eports that 32% of all births are now to unmarried women. In 1960, the rate was only 5.3%. (68)_There is another group that is also questioning the traditional definitions. In this group are men who choose to stay at home and care for their children. They, not their wives, are the primary caregivers
88、. As Randall Mitchell says in the movie “Mr. Mom,” When my daughter wakes up at night, she calls for her daddy” (69) _As society changes, our definitions change. (70)_ As a result, we may need to create some new words. Somehow, “single mother” and “Mr. Mom” do not seem like very good names.Reading a

Write your answer on the answer sheet.A lot of us fall into the trap of thinking travel will solve our problems. But some prob
90、lems can only be solved by tackling them head on. Travel wont make you any happier if it doesnt change anything that relates to your problems.To illustrate this, lets imagine that your goal in life is to become an alpaco（羊驼）farmer. Youre stuck in a dead end job at home, not an alpaca in sight. Youre
91、 depressed and think youll never own that farm.Youve seen all these articles online about travel and how it leads to so much happiness and wish fulfillment for others. Plus its so easy. All you need to do is leave. Pretty soon youre also thinking that travel will make you happy and fulfill your drea
92、ms. So you go away and travel and you have a great time.Travel is so intense that it can dazzle you for months or even years. Youre experiencing so many new things that youre constantly in the now. The future doesnt matter when youre bungee jumping off an elephant. But soon things settle down and wh
93、en you get time to think, your mind will soon drift back to that farm.Travel becomes that boring job, the world becomes your office. You find yourself staring longingly outwards, dreaming of alpacas.Thats not to say your travel has been wasted. Maybe it will just show you what youve always known any
94、way and that you really need to focus on the alpaca problem. Maybe it will give you enough confidence to follow that alpaca dream.But if you already know what your problems are, you dont need to travel to solve them.
