第一节 阅读理解(共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The 1975 film Jaw s tells the story of a great white shark that attacks and kills swimmers. Jaws was a great success. It strengthened people’s long-held idea of the great white shark as a dangerous animal.
People have always been scared of sharks, but Jaws made things worse. It made people frightened of sharks. Many people started to believe that sharks were bad animals that ate humans. Some people stopped swimming in the sea. Other people started fishing for sharks, killing as many as they could. At that time, nobody cared if sharks were killed, or how many were killed. People just wanted them killed.
After 1975, the number of large sharks around America fell quickly, and soon fell around the world. This was not only due to fear of sharks, but also finning. Finning is a type of fishing where sharks are caught and their fins are cut off. The sharks are thrown back into the sea where they die slowly and painfully. Finning kills millions of sharks a year.
Finning would have an unexpected effect upon Peter Benchley, the man who wrote the book that the film Jaws was based on. In 1980, Benchley was diving when he came across an awful sight. It was an area where fishermen were finning, and the sea floor was covered with dead sharks. Benchley saw sharks being killed and this caused a deep change in him. He came to see people as a danger to sharks, rather than the other way round. From that day on, he fought to protect sharks. He admitted that his book was wrong about sharks’ behaviour. “Sharks don’t target humans,” he said. Experts have proved that sharks do not see people as food, and they attack us by mistake.
Fortunately, not everyone who watched the film Jaws became afraid of sharks—some became interested in understanding them. Today, as we learn more about sharks, more people than ever want to protect them from extinction.
11. How have people’s attitudes towards sharks changed after the film Jaws
A. They become proud of sharks.
B. They are more frightened of sharks.
C. They begin to realize their importance.
D. They have the same attitude to sharks.
12. How did Peter Benchley feel after diving in 1980
A. He became more afraid of sharks.
B. He continued to support shark finning.
C. He recognized humans as a danger to sharks.
D. He understood sharks are dangerous to humans.
13. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To comment on Peter’s book.
B. To tell the success of the film Jaws.
C. To recommend a film to readers.
D. To raise awareness of shark protection.
B
“We regret to inform you...” These are the words that every writer is afraid of receiving. When the response from a publisher comes back, the writers’ hearts drop. You may have spent years giving up your weekends to write your work, yet still this is often not enough. Everyone knows that success rarely happens overnight, but perhaps not many know that a lot of highly successful writers have been rejected before.
Take for example J. K. Rowling. Rowling had spent years surviving on little money, spending all her time writing. When she finally finished her first book, she received comments from publishers along the lines of “too difficult for children”. However, she kept going. “I wasn’t going to give up until every single publisher turned me down,” she later posted. After a total of twelve rejections, one publisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book, and as we know, Harry Potter became a global success, with over 400 million books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages.
Another example about persistence was the three sisters from Victorian England. At that time women were not encouraged to become writers. As a famous writer wrote to one of them: “Literature cannot be the business of a woman’s life, and it ought not to be.” However, the sisters didn’t stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. Even when the book sold only two copies, the sisters still didn’t give up. They started writing novels, and today Charlotte Bront ’s Jane Eyre, Emily Bront ’s Wuthering Heights and Anne Bront ’s Agnes Grey are regarded as classics of world literature.
So, it seems that talent alone isn’t enough to ensure success. While a lot of hard work and a touch of luck play a part, persistence is the key. Keep trying and eventually you will read the words “We are delighted to inform you...”
14. What can we learn from J. K. Rowling’s experience with publishers
A. Rejections from publishers are always fair.
B. Keep going even if you face lots of rejections.
C. Writers should give up after a few rejections.
D. Success comes overnight if you’re talented enough.
15. How did the three sisters respond to the challenges for women in literature at their time
A. They stopped writing for a short time.
B. They became poets instead of novelists.
C. They followed social rules and quit writing.
D. They used male pen names for their writing.
16. Which can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Successful Female Writers
B. Life Is Hard for Female Writers
C. Never Give Up on Your Dreams
D. Talent Alone Can Ensure Success
C
How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing touch of your friends What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took a long time to arrive This was how things worked not very long ago. Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed greatly.
Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with the people that we want to remain friends with. Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships. All you need is a Wi-Fi connection.
The digital age also enables us to find people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you “friend” people online, does this mean that they really are your friends
It depends.
If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. ① But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person. ② On social media sites, people tend to post only positive updates that make them appear happy and friendly.③ Remember the saying: On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog. ④ A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals.
But this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although technology has changed the way we make friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he or she had all other goods.
17. How does technology impact friendship according to the passage
A. It allows people to maintain friendships easier.
B. It helps people find less like-minded friends.
C. It enables people to write more letters to friends.
D. It makes online friendship better than traditional one.
18. The numbers①,②,③ and ④ show where the following sentence could be added.
But smiling photos can hide real problems.
Where would the sentence best fit 上面的句子还原，应该放在哪个序号处
A. Choice ①. B. Choice ②. C. Choice ③. D. Choice ④.
19. What does the underlined expression “throw the baby out with the bathwater” in paragraph 7 mean
A. Maintaining traditional friendships.
B. Rejecting online friendships completely.
C. Valuing friendships more than anything.
D. Making new friendships despite risks.
20. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To prove that making friends was easier in the past.
B. To show how it is better to make friends online.
C. To advise people to give up traditional ways of making friends.
D. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of making friends online.

A. Unfortunately, during one of her challenging workouts, Emily suffered an injury. She had to shift her focus from intense physical activities to leisurely exercises that allowed her body to recover.
B. Emily was a senior high school student with a passion for sports. She had always been participating in various sports in secondary school. With a busy schedule, she would wake up early in the morning and hit the gym before her classes started. This routine not only helped her stay fit but also improved her confidence and competence.
C. As she gradually regained her strength, Emily revised her workout schedule and aimed for a balanced lifestyle. She started doing yoga for stress reduction. She attended regular class and set achievable goals, making sure to listen to her body.
D. During her recovery period, Emily turned to the Internet for guidance. As a digital native, she knew how to surf the Internet to find expert advice on staying fit during downtime. Meanwhile, she joined a voluntary organization that offered fitness programs for people with injuries. She connected with other injured athletes and found support in their shared experiences.
E. Emily’s journey showed the importance of adaptability in sports and fitness. Setbacks were not the end but rather an opportunity to grow and strengthen oneself both physically and mentally.

Websites aim to be easily found by people who seek their products or services. One way people may find websites is through a search engine. Therefore, many companies obviously want to make their websites attractive to search engines.
26 Quality content ensures that customers will visit your website frequently. It also encourages customers to recommend your site to friends. 27
Now famous search engines like Google prefer mobile-friendly sites in their rankings (排名). So, if your site doesn’t work well on phones, you are offering a less pleasant experience to some users. 28
Page speed is also important for search engine rankings. If your site is loaded with too many videos, it will take a long time to load. 29 It’s time to make faster download as all the visitors value speed.
For a popular website, it’s important to update it regularly. 30 If your content appears elsewhere before reaching your site, your website’s search ranking will drop rapidly.
Finally, don’t look down on customer experience. Remember that adding something fun can be really good too.
A. It will give users much more viewing time.
B. To achieve this, website content should be unique.
C. This might affect your search engine ranking negatively.
D. Slow loading will upset and finally drive away visitors.
E. First of all, always be a polite user when visiting a website.
F. This sharing helps increase your search engine ranking.
G. Fresh content keeps users interested so they don’t get bored and leave.

(一)
The Person I Respect Most
When it comes to the person I respect most, the one that immediately emerges in my mind is Ren Zhengfei, a renowned Chinese enterpriser, the founder of Huawei.
Ren is a persistent individual with vision and determination. He is passionate about making contributions to social progress. Despite all the challenges and hardships, he is whole-heartedly committed to exploration and innovation in the science field. Due to his outstanding leadership, Huawei has become one of the largest companies of telecommunications equipment and smart devices.
To sum up, Ren Zhengfei is one of the most respectable and influential persons in my eyes. He is the man who has changed our understanding of perseverance and his stories have inspired so many young people.
(二)
The Person I Respect Most
The person I respect most is the geophysicist Huang Danian, who helped China to make many technological advances.
Huang was a remarkable scientist. He had studied and worked in Britain for 18 years, but when he felt that his country needed him, he gave up his well-paid job and returned to China. Over the next seven years, Huang worked to develop many devices needed for deep-Earth exploration.
Unfortunately, such achievement s didn’t come cheap. Due to the frantic pace of his research, Huang was absent from his father’s funeral, and even his own cancer went undetected as he had no time to see a doctor. To sum up, Huang sacrificed everything for his research, and I think more people should honor him.

M: Sure, what is it
W: I’m worried about my grade in your physics class. I really want an A, but my job has kept me busy.
M: Well, so far you have a B average in your physics lesson. You’ll need a 95 or above on your final exam to get an A.
W: Oh, it’s too hard for me. Could you give me some advice on how to prepare for the exam
M: Hmm... it’s just a simple learning rule—work hard during the whole term instead of a last-minute rush.
W: Yes. That’s the problem. When the exam is coming, I really don’t have enough time to learn the materials of an entire course.

M: How did you feel when your videos first became successful
W: I thought only a few people watched them regularly. But you see, how wrong I was about this. It’s unbelievable.
M: What’s your latest video about
