What do you think? Should this way of teaching be encouraged?‎ Ted M (UK)‎ Online education is not new. It has been found effective in many countries where access(进入) to schools is difficult. It lacks the opportunity for social learning of course, but in most systems there are weekend, summer and winter “camps” where students can arrange to meet and interact with others as part of the courses. Such education is valuable for remote(远程的) learning in inaccessible regions.‎ Linda (China)‎ I find that children today spend less and less time playing outdoors than we did when we were young. We have the technology to enable us to teach students to learn with an amazing variety of resources but I do hope not at the cost of losing their childhood.‎ Breathing (Canada)‎ I think education is not about learning or gathering only textbook knowledge. It’s about communicating with ‎ others, discussing, group work etc. Online education means distance education. At present it is spread all over the world. It has some good results too. But I like face-to-face education. It helps a student to build up his or her mental and physical strength besides textbook knowledge.‎ Jimmy (US)‎ It really depends on what kind of learner you are. If you are a self-motivated student and can manage your own time, online learning is for you. So long as you have the ability to learn on your own.‎ Sunny (Australia)‎ Online schools offer students with customized learning and help them gain access to courses that may not be provided in their assigned school. This is one of the primary reasons for the increased demand in online learning. Online learning is providing new choices for kids and more choices for parents.‎ ‎21. Which of the following is Linda’s opinion on online learning?‎ A. It lacks the opportunity for social learning.‎ B. It is valuable for learning in remote regions.‎ C. It limits the time children spend playing outdoors.‎ D. It is very popular all over the world.‎ ‎22. Who is totally supportive to online learning?‎ A. Sunny B. Breathing C. Jimmy D. Ted M ‎ ‎23. What is the purpose of the passage?‎ A. To introduce the access to online learning.‎ B. To list the benefits of online learning.‎ C. To show the quick spread of online learning.‎ D. To present different opinions on online learning.‎ B ‎ At thirteen, I was diagnosed(诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.‎ ‎ In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said," Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”‎ ‎ She glanced down at me through her glasses，"You are not different from your classmates, young man.”‎ ‎ I tried，but I did not finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.‎ ‎ In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all become clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead，he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.‎ ‎ Wasn’t I the“blind”in my class，being made to learn like the “sighted”students？My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed，I was not different from others；I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems，why should I ever give up？‎ ‎ I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith，so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day--with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when ‎ you keep trying？”‎ ‎24.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because __________.‎ ‎ A. he was new to the class B. he had an attention disorder ‎ C. he wanted to take the task home D. he was tired of literature ‎ ‎25．What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage？‎ ‎ A. He had good sight. B. He gave up reading.‎ ‎ C. He made a great invention. D. He learned a lot from school.‎ ‎26．What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story？‎ ‎ A. Angry. B. Encouraging. C. Impatient. D. Sympathetic. ‎ ‎27．What is the main idea of the passage？‎ ‎ A. The disabled should be treated with respect.‎ ‎ B. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.‎ ‎ C. A teacher can open up a new world to students.‎ ‎ D. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.‎ C India has a growing number of millionaires – at present there are 200, 000 Indians worth a million dollars or more. According to Forbes, India is also home to the fourth-highest number of billionaires in the world. It’s not surprising, given India’s large population and the rapid increase in its economic fortunes in the past two decades. ‎ This rise in the rich has led to a growing industry that meets the needs of its wealthy and picky（挑剔的）clients（客户）. These businesses offer excellent services tailored to the strict standards of the ultra-wealthy（超级富豪）, their unique tastes and lifestyles. From matchmaking（做媒） to private jets and from lifestyle management to expensive fine art, no matter how unusual the demand sounds, no request will be refused. ‎ Like millionaires elsewhere, India’s rich “want access to the best things in life, but don’t have the time, nor the connections, to acquire them,” says Tanu Jian, head of marketing at the Gurgaon office of Quintessentially Lifestyle, a firm that offers round-the-clock personalized（针对个人的）services to its ultra-wealthy members. With the company’s unique network of contacts, Jain has helped clients secure an autographed Roger Federer tennis racket（球拍）, and a limited edition John Lennon pen.‎ When it comes to serving the super-rich, the “customer is king” approach guides everything. Each client is assigned a personal “lifestyle manager” who carefully “studies the behavior of each member and accordingly recommends a personalized solution for each request,” says Jain.‎ The rapid increase in India’s super-rich has touched off a race among service providers who are trying to break into the market. India is exploding with entrepreneurial (企业的) energy. So is the industry whose business is to know where the super-rich want to spend their money.‎ ‎28. Which of the following is Not the reason for the fast growth of India’s super-rich service businesses?‎ ‎ A. Indian government’s putting increasing emphasis on service industry. ‎ ‎ B. India’s fast economic advance over the last twenty years.‎ ‎ C. India’s large number of super-rich relative to its total population.‎ ‎ D. Human beings’ natural desire for good things in life.‎ ‎29. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “tailored”?‎ ‎ A. done right after someone’s extraordinary request.‎ B. done passionately for someone’s strict demand. ‎ ‎ C. done immediately for someone’s original intention.‎ ‎ D. done specially for someone’s particular need.‎ ‎30. According to the passage, which of the following statements is Not True?‎ ‎ A. India ranks fourth on the list of the number of billionaires.‎ ‎ B. “Customer is king” is the best policy to the businesses serving the Indian super-riches.‎ ‎ C. The best things are not available to India’s rich because of some bans from the government.‎ ‎ D. If a rich Indian woman wants to seek an ideal husband, she can turn to some businesses.‎ ‎31. Which one can serve as the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. What Specific Needs India’s Super-Rich Have. ‎ ‎ B. What India’s Super-Rich Bring About. ‎ ‎ C. Why India’s Super-Rich’s Need List Is Growing. ‎ D. How India’s Super-Rich Get Done Their Needs.‎ D We are lucky to live in a world that is full of incredible technology. Our living rooms are packed with computers, LCD TVs, video game systems, and Blue-ray players that help us enjoy the latest entertainment. Although these items bring us joy and convenience, they also create a lot of junk. Each device needs its own plug（插头） and adaptor（适配器）to keep its batteries（电池） recharged, and over time these wires get tangled (缠绕在一起的). Thankfully, something has come along to help rid our homes of this mess while still supplying these devices with the power they need. It’s called wireless（无线的） charging（充电） and this trend is just starting.‎ Wireless charging has a lot of potential for smart phones and other electronic devices. Electronic devices can absorb（吸收） the electricity once they’re placed on a special charging mat. There are several advantages that wireless charging offers over traditional methods. For starters, cords (电线) have a tendency to wear out with use. Wireless charging users never have to worry about buying replacement cords. Wireless charging is also far more convenient for medical implants（移植物）, as patients won’t need to recharge their devices through the skin using cords. In turn, this cuts down on the risks of infection（感染）. Wireless charging can also bring safety benefits, as wired charging devices that come in contact with water can increase the chances of getting an electric shock（触电）. Wireless charging gets rid of that danger completely.‎ Still, there are a few drawbacks to wireless charging. The first is speed. It takes a bit longer to charge devices wirelessly than it does if the device is plugged in. The process also requires more heat, so devices tend to get a bit hotter, which could create other safety issues. Also, since devices must be left on a special pad while charging, it is harder to operate them while they are powering up. This limitation may be gotten rid of in the future, as researchers are developing transmitters (发射器) that can charge several different devices in a room without the need to connect to a charging pad. Although wireless-charging technology may be far from perfect, it seems like a step in the right direction as we move towards a less-tangled future.‎ ‎32. What is a problem with many modern appliances?‎ A. They go out of style too quickly. B. They are not very entertaining. ‎ C. Most people can’t afford to pay for them. D. They can cause a lot of junk around the house.‎ ‎33. Why is wireless charging beneficial for medical patients?‎ A. It makes maintenance（维护）of their devices much easier.‎ B. Wireless charging has shown to cure people of serious diseases.‎ C. It often brings down the cost for their medical bills.‎ D. It’s being used as a replacement for many pills.‎ ‎34. Which of the following is a disadvantage of wireless charging?‎ A. Wireless charging means devices take up more space. B. People can now buy fewer devices for their homes.‎ C. People can’t plug in their devices conveniently. D. It takes longer to charge your battery wirelessly.‎ ‎35. What seems to be the author’s attitude towards wireless charging?‎ A. Cautious. B. Uncaring. C. Disapproving. D. Favorable.‎ ‎ ‎ 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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。‎ In Finland, the winters are cold and there’s not much sunlight. But the people who live there don’t seem to mind. In fact, the country ranked first in the World Happiness Report this year. 36 They include lifespan, social support and freedom.‎ ‎ Cold weather and darkness make most people unhappy. Finland has plenty of snow. In the far north, the sun doesn’t even rise for 51 days in a row during winter. 37 “It’s a great thing to live in the happiest country, although it’s snowing and we are walking in this wet snow,” said Inari Lepisto. The 28-year-old lives in Helsinki.‎ ‎ The World Happiness Report began in 2012. 38 This year, for the first time, the report also rated 117 countries on their immigrants’(移民的)happiness. In 2015, more than a million migrants went to Europe. A few thousand made it to Finland. ‎ ‎ Finland doesn’t have a big mix of people from different backgrounds. 39 That includes about 300,000 people from foreign countries. The largest number of immigrants in Finland come from Europe.‎ ‎ John Helliwell helps put together the World Happiness Report. He said all countries in the Top 10 scored highest in both overall happiness and the happiness of immigrants.‎ ‎40 They have plenty of personal freedoms and social support, such as health care. That seems to make people happier, even though taxes(税) are higher. This year, Finland pushed Norway into second place. The rest of the Top 10 included Denmark，Iceland， Switzerland，the Netherlands, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. ‎ A. About 5.5 million people live in Finland.‎ B.

Happiness was considered as the most important thing in life in a worldwide survey. 42 ,it is very important to find out what factors make us happy and how we can work towards 43 happiness individually, nationally, and globally.

In particular, friends are a great 49 of joy, partly because of the way friends use positive non-verbal 50 , such as hugging and touching, to strengthen their relationship.

Job satisfaction is caused not only by the essential 55 of work, but also by social interactions with co-workers. Unemployment, however, can be a serious 56 of unhappiness.‎ ‎ Fourth, leisure(休闲) is important because it is more under individual 57 than most other causes of happiness. Activities like sport and music, and participation in voluntary work and social clubs of various kinds, can give great 58 . This is partly because of the 59 themselves, but also because of the social 60 of other group members, who provide each other with various types of help.‎ ‎41.A. sign B. truth C. impression D. expression ‎42.
