阅读短文，从每题所给选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Not long ago, my daughter’s leather shoes were cut by a knife. She burst into tears. I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired.
The young shoemaker took a look at the opening and said, “There is 11 I can do but change the leather.”
His master looked at them and said to me, “If you 12 me, I will add more cuts in the form of special style and reuse.”
I didn’t quite know why, but I decided to 13 the shoes.
Two days later, I went there to get the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six 14 on each shoe, but all the openings were covered by soft red leather sewed (缝) with thick thread (线). The shoes looked more special and interesting than ever. I couldn’t help 15 the master for his work.
Another time, my sister’s white 16 had a large opening on the back. My wife took it over and checked 17 , and then said, “Let me take it home and repair it.”
Three days went past, and I was 18 to see it again: all the openings were sewed up by thin and 19 thread and they looked like the ice crystal (晶体) on winter’s branches (树枝) in the north. She 20 made a lovely snowman and a wooden house on the blouse. I said with praise,“It’s just as beautiful as a piece of 21 .”
“I learned from the master. Patches (补丁) can be designed to look 22 .” replied my wife.
Her words taught me even more: perfection is 23 to achieve in everything; patches are unavoidable (不可避免的), so is human’s life, which will appear in the form of wound, disability or disease. 24 you can’t change that, all you can do and have to do is to cover the wound by patches and try your best to make a most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is 25 life teaches us. Once you understand it, you can enjoy your life better.

There's much to see under the sea, but you need to remember that light behaves differently in water than in air. The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.
Objects underwater will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It's just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!
What's more, in deeper water, colors just don't seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths (波长) of light that are reflected(反射) from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water.
Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let's take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost(鬼怪)! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again.
31．You miss the object under water when you want to touch it because ______.
A．your eyesight is quite poor B．you are not quick enough
C．it is not as close as it seems D．it disappears very quickly
32．The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of ______ of an object underwater.
A．the size B．the color C．the position D．the weight
33．The underlined word "descend" probably means ______ in Chinese in this passage.
A．上升 B．增加 C．屏息 D．下潜
34．Which of the following is TRUE
A．A four-meter-long fish looks three meters long underwater.
B．The wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light.
C．Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the wave.
D．You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea.
35．The best title of this passage is ______.
A．The standard of color underwater B．The direction of light underwater
C．The brightness of color underwater D．The behavior of light underwater

Islands are always changing their shapes, and sometimes, you may see the change happening. As a volcano(火山) near the island erupts(爆发), it shoots out streams of red-hot lava (熔岩). When the lava reaches the water around the island, it cools and forms new land, and the island grows.
Most changes are hard to see. Storms and wind usually carry dirt and sand from one side of the island to another side. Sea waves wash away soil and rocks from one beach and take them to another. So, the island changes shape slowly, a tiny bit at a time.
However, people on some small ocean islands are worried, because they think their islands are changing shape too fast. They see waves rise higher and further onto shores than they used to, and storms and winds are growing stronger too. What’s worse, places that used to stay dry have been flooded. For example, in the Solomon Islands, a country made up of small islands in the Pacific Ocean, five islands have disappeared underwater.
Scientists believe that it was because of global warming. With more gas and coal burnt for cars and factories, people produce more greenhouse gas and make the Earth warmer. Then, more ice melts and more water flows into the ocean, and sea level rises. The warmer water also causes more big storms and more serious damages.
But there is hope. Scientists are looking for ways to stop sea levels rising and for clean ways to run cars and factories. We can also help by recycling, planting trees, driving less, and wasting less. By doing these things, we can save more islands from disappearing.
41．How does an island grow
A．The red-hot lava cools and forms new land.
B．The volcano gets bigger and makes it grow.
C．The sea brings soil and rocks to it.
D．The sea level becomes lower.
42．What are the causes of disappearing islands
① More volcano eruptions. ② Warmer climate(气候).
③ Higher sea level. ④ More burnt gas and coal.
A．①② B．③④ C．①②③ D．②③④
43．Which way can prevent the islands from disappearing
A．Making more land by lava.
B．Running factories with green energy.
C．Moving people on islands to other places.
D．Burning more gas and coal.
44．What can we infer(推断) from the passage？
A．The islands will get smaller and sink someday.
B．Keeping islands from disappearing is possible.
C．Islands always change shapes, but now such changes are slow.
D．Solomon Islands have disappeared from the world.
45．What’s the scientists’ attitude(态度) about disappearing islands according to the last paragraph
A．Hopeful B．Negative(否定的) C．Doubtful(怀疑) D．Careful.

We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part.
What are the hopes of teenagers We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after you finish your education It seems some students would like to start work as soon as they can, so that they can help offer their parents better lives. Other students hope to go on studying after they finish school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers want to do jobs they like. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.
What are the dreams of teenagers Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic (现实的) than others. For example, many students would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And many students dream of having a trip to every corner of the world one day.
According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dreamed of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some students would like to go on exciting trips. One student would love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that there are no possibility for students to achieve. Three students would like to be able to fly.
It is clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams, one day they may just be realized.
A survey about some Chinese students’ hopes and dreams
Hopes of teenagers ●Some students want to begin work as soon as 46 to help offer their parents better lives. ●Some students hope to 47 studying after finishing school. ●Many students would like to do jobs they enjoy though money is of great 48 . ●Most students 49 computer programming as their jobs.
50 of teenagers ●Some students have more realistic dreams such as working as volunteers at the World Cup and 51 around the world. ●Some students have less realistic dreams such as becoming famous sports people or singers and sailing 52 the Pacific Ocean. ●It is 53 for some students to achieve their dreams such as being able to fly.
Conclusion ●The survey shows that teenagers’ hopes are 54 while their dreams are different. ●You can’t realize your dream 55 holding on it and hard work.

Do you use emojis (表情符号) on your mobile phone One of the nicest things about emojis is that people 56 all over the world can understand them. But I have 57 (recent) learned that some emojis have different meanings in China. So we need to be careful when using emojis.
Take 58 smiling face emoji for example. At first, I 59 (think) that it was just a normal, friendly smile. But later, I found that it could mean something different. It could mean that someone was looking down on you or even 60 (laugh) at you. Later I read online that although the emoji was smiling, its eyes were looking downward, which made it look like a fake (虚假的) smile.
What about the smiling face 61 a waving (挥动的) hand It certainly looks friendly enough. 62 in fact, some people use this emoji to show that they don’t want to talk to someone—the hand is waving “goodbye.” It is telling you that “You should not talk to me again”.
In fact, some emojis also have double meanings in Western countries. One of my favorite emojis is the “cry-laugh” emoji. At first, it meant “rolling on the floor laughing” or ROFL. But over the years, the meaning 63 (change). It is often used to describe situations that are sotragie (悲伤的) that you can’t help but laugh to cheer 64 (you) up.
It looks like the language of emojis changes over time, just like real language.
We should be 65 (care) about how we use it when speaking to others.

参考答案：
1．B
【详解】句意：它是多大的乐趣啊！我玩的多么高兴啊！
考查感叹句的结构。how+形容词+主语+谓语+...！What+(a/an)+形容词+名词+主语+谓语+...！ fun 有趣的人或事，乐趣，不可数名词；have a good time玩得高兴；故选B。
2．C
【详解】句意：那位老人独自一人住在一所偏僻的房子里，但他并不感到孤独。考查形容词、副词辨析。alone作为形容词，意为“单独的”，只作表语，不能作定语。侧重说明独自一人，没有助手或同伴，没有感彩，只表示客观的状态；alone还可以作副词，意为“单独；独自”。 lonely意为“孤独的”，表示主观上感到孤独、寂寞，有较浓的感彩，指因缺少朋友、同情、友谊等产生的一种悲伤和忧郁的感情，它为形容词，在句中作表语或定语，作定语时，意为“荒凉；偏僻”，多修饰表示地点的名词。本题由题干可知第一个空修饰前面的动词live，所以用副词alone；第二个空，在句中作定语，修饰后面的名词house，表示“偏僻、荒凉”，所以用lonely；第三个空，感官动词feel后应接形容词lonely，强调他的孤独感，有感彩；故答案选C。
3．D
【详解】句意：我不能买这件大衣，因为它有点儿贵。
考查不定代词辨析。a bit of一点，修饰名词；a bit一点，修饰动词、形容词、副词和比较级；a few一些，修饰可数名词复数；a little of 后面的名词前面必须用定冠词、指示代词、名词所有格或者形容词性物主代词。空后为形容词，用a bit修饰。故选D。
4．C
【详解】句意：——你的父亲在哪儿？——他已经去了上海。他已经在那儿一个星期了。
考查现在完成时。have gone to表示去了某地还没回来；have been to(in)指去了某地已经回来或一直在某地的状态。结合语境可知前一空强调的是去了上海还没回来，因此用have gone to结构。后一空描述的是持续到现在的动作，故用have been in结构，空格后为地点副词there，因此省略介词，故选D。
5．A
【详解】句意：她已经离开家乡很多年了。几乎没有人认识她。
考查完成时态及动词用法。根据“her hometown for many years. No one nearly knows her.”可知已经离开多年，故用现在完成时态，且动作是可持续性的。选项B表示瞬间动作，排除B。故选A。
6．D
【详解】句意：在某些方面，这里的生活现在比以前更好了。
考查短语辨析。On the way在路上；By the way顺便问一句；All the way自始至终；In some ways在某些方面。根据后句“life here is better now than before.”语境可知，应是在某些方面，这里的生活现在比以前更好了。故选D。
7．B
【详解】句意：——我们的国家发生了巨大的变化。——是的，我希望它会好得多。
考查现在完成时和比较级。根据句意可知，第一句是现在完成时态，结构是have/has+过去分词，因主语是“Our country”单三，所以用has，排除C、D选项；much后跟形容词比较级形式。故选B。

Great Changes in My Hometown
With the development of technology, great changes have taken place in my hometown in the past few years.
In the past, the roads here were narrow and crowded. The houses were very old and small. The air was not fresh enough and sometimes there was terrible smell. The river was polluted badly and there was rubbish in it.
Nowadays, the roads become wide and clean. It is really convenient for people to go out. We can choose different kinds of ways to go anywhere. Lots of tall buildings have been built in the city. Most of us move to big and beautiful houses. The sky is always blue and there are many birds sing in the trees. My hometown looks like a big garden with green grass and colorful flowers.
I think these changes make our life more comfortable. How great they are!
