Every Wednesday evening, a group of young people show up at an activity center in Shanghai to learn the art of Chinese engraving (版画). The class begins at 7 pm, but they usually arrive earlier to practice. Actually, they’re members of a night school project. Most of them are office workers and go to the class after work.
Working during the day and learning new skills at night is becoming a new way of life for young people in China. From dancing to singing, from traditional culture, beauty, and language classes, to wine tasting and tea making, the list of possibilities for new learning experiences seems limitless.
This trend (趋势) first started in Shanghai. The course, organized by the Shanghai Mass Art Center and given at 123 teaching locations, are available for local people aged between 18 and 55. Members can take 12 lessons given by professionals at a cost of about 500 yuan, far below the market price.
The idea of night schools isn’t new in China. In the 1980s, there were a number of similar projects across the country run by colleges and universities and they offered courses in reading and writing. Today, things are quite different. The night school project is no longer made to provide basic education. Instead, it offers courses to meet the needs and interests of young adults.
“After work, I often waste my time on the phone, and this leads to a sense of emptiness. But at night school, I can learn something new and have a more colorful life,” said 29-year-old Yang Xu, a student in the Chinese engraving class.
4. The underlined word “limitless” has the similar meaning to “_______”.
A. endless B. worthless C. successful
5. What is mentioned about the night school courses in the third paragraph
①The time. ②The price. ③The locations. ④The organizer. ⑤The purposes.
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ②③⑤
6. What does Yang Xu think of attending the night school
A. It’s a waste of time.
B. She feels empty there.
C. It helps her live life to the full.
7. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. Young workers drawn to night classes
B. Office workers enjoy working at night
C. The past and present of night schools
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了上海年轻人的新生活方式。

In order to save Mexican axolotls (蝾螈), the Mexican government encourages the public to virtually adopt (云领养) them.
The unusual Mexican axolotl has a long body, short legs, and a long tail. Its body is covered with smooth, slimy skin (黏糊糊的皮肤). The axolotl is an amazing animal. It can improve water quality. It can also regrow almost any lost body part. For this reason, it is considered as a wonder of biology. Some scientists think the information could help solve some medical problems.
However, the population of axolotls has fallen greatly over the years. In 1998, there were about 6,000 axolotls per square kilometer in Lake Xochimilco. In the last count from 2014, there were only about 36 axolotls per square kilometer. The situation has got worse and they have been in danger of extinction (灭绝) for years, according to Luis Zambrano, a professor from the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
The biggest danger to axolotls comes from humans. Mexico City’s growing population has led to less and less living space for axolotls. Industrial activities have had a bad influence on water quality, which makes axolotls unhealthy. In the water, some fish eat axolotl eggs.
Thanks to social media and the video game Minecraft, axolotls are more popular than ever, which leads to a huge demand (需求) for axolotls in pet stores. Zambrano hopes that will help save axolotls.
Last year, his team carried out an activity to virtually adopt axolotls. People were encouraged to help pay for axolotls’ meals or their habitat (栖息地). “We know what to do. We know where to do it. And we know that if we do that properly, we will have a healthy population of axolotls,” Zambrano said, “But if people don’t care too much, it doesn’t matter what we know.”
8. The axolotl is important to biology because of its _______.
A. unusual appearance
B. role in water quality
C. ability to regrow body parts
9. How does the writer prove that the number of axolotls has dropped
A. By listing numbers. B. By telling stories. C. By giving an example.
10. Which question does Paragraph 4 answer
A. What advantages do axolotls have
B. What should people do to save axolotls
C. Why have axolotls been in danger of extinction
11. What is the purpose of Zambrano’s words
A. To introduce a special animal in Mexico.
B. To call on people to pay attention to axolotls and save them.
C. To encourage the public to send axolotls to pet stores.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了为了保护墨西哥蝾螈，墨西哥政府鼓励民众云领养它们，并介绍蝾螈的特点以及面临的危险。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据“It can also regrow almost any lost body part. For this reason, it is considered as a wonder of biology.”可知蝾螈是重要的生物因为它能使它身体的部分重新生长。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据“However, the population of axolotls has fallen greatly over the years. In 1998, there were about 6,000 axolotls per square kilometer in Lake Xochimilco. In the last count from 2014,...about 36 axolotls per square kilometer.”可知作者是通过列数据来证明蝾螈的数量下降了。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The biggest danger to axolotls comes from humans.”可知此处介绍蝾螈面临最大的危险。与C选项内容相关。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据“‘But if people don’t care too much, it doesn’t matter what we know.’”可知此处表示如果人们不在意，我们知道的再多也没有用。故他的意思是要号召人们关注蝾螈并拯救它们。故选B。

IV．读写综合（共两节，满分25分）
第一节 简答（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Nowadays, people use computers to do a lot of things every day, like searching for information and sending e-mails. But none of them would go well without the computer mouse (鼠标).
The first computer mouse appeared in 1964, invented by Douglas Engelbart. It was mainly made up of a wooden “house”, a circuit (电路) board and two metal wheels. Engelbart called his invention the “Bug”. But the long “tail” on the back made it look like a mouse, so the name became well-known soon.
Eight years later, Bill English, an American computer engineer, developed the mouse further. He changed the wheels into a rolling (滚动的) ball at the bottom of the mouse. The “Ball Mouse” was easier to use and could be found in lots of offices. It had its problems, though. For example, the ball became dirty easily from rolling round the desktop. The dirt had to be often cleaned out to keep the ball running well.
The disadvantages led to the next development around 1980. Then the optical mouse (光学鼠标) was invented. However, the optical mouse wasn’t widely used because it was too expensive.
The computer mouse has come a long way since its invention. It has been improved many times to meet the changing needs of users. But with the rise of touch screens and voice control, some experts think the computer mouse may disappear in the future. However, some people think it will still have a market.
36. When did the first computer mouse come out
____________________________________________________________
37. How did Bill English improve the mouse

40. Do you think the mouse will disappear in the future Why or why not

【答案】36. In 1964.

39. Because it was too expensive.
40. Yes. Because of the rise of touch screens and voice control technology. (合理即可)
【解析】

Every Wednesday evening, a group of young people show up at an activity center in Shanghai to learn the art of Chinese engraving (版画). The class begins at 7 pm, but they usually arrive earlier to practice. Actually, they’re members of a night school project. Most of them are office workers and go to the class after work.
Working during the day and learning new skills at night is becoming a new way of life for young people in China. From dancing to singing, from traditional culture, beauty, and language classes, to wine tasting and tea making, the list of possibilities for new learning experiences seems limitless.
This trend (趋势) first started in Shanghai. The course, organized by the Shanghai Mass Art Center and given at 123 teaching locations, are available for local people aged between 18 and 55. Members can take 12 lessons given by professionals at a cost of about 500 yuan, far below the market price.
The idea of night schools isn’t new in China. In the 1980s, there were a number of similar projects across the country run by colleges and universities and they offered courses in reading and writing. Today, things are quite different. The night school project is no longer made to provide basic education. Instead, it offers courses to meet the needs and interests of young adults.
“After work, I often waste my time on the phone, and this leads to a sense of emptiness. But at night school, I can learn something new and have a more colorful life,” said 29-year-old Yang Xu, a student in the Chinese engraving class.
4. The underlined word “limitless” has the similar meaning to “_______”.
A. endless B. worthless C. successful
5. What is mentioned about the night school courses in the third paragraph
①The time. ②The price. ③The locations. ④The organizer. ⑤The purposes.
A ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ②③⑤
6. What does Yang Xu think of attending the night school
A. It’s a waste of time.
B. She feels empty there.
C. It helps her live life to the full.
7. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. Young workers drawn to night classes
B. Office workers enjoy working at night
C. The past and present of night schools

In order to save Mexican axolotls (蝾螈), the Mexican government encourages the public to virtually adopt (云领养) them.
The unusual Mexican axolotl has a long body, short legs, and a long tail. Its body is covered with smooth, slimy skin (黏糊糊的皮肤). The axolotl is an amazing animal. It can improve water quality. It can also regrow almost any lost body part. For this reason, it is considered as a wonder of biology. Some scientists think the information could help solve some medical problems.
However, the population of axolotls has fallen greatly over the years. In 1998, there were about 6,000 axolotls per square kilometer in Lake Xochimilco. In the last count from 2014, there were only about 36 axolotls per square kilometer. The situation has got worse and they have been in danger of extinction (灭绝) for years, according to Luis Zambrano, a professor from the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
The biggest danger to axolotls comes from humans. Mexico City’s growing population has led to less and less living space for axolotls. Industrial activities have had a bad influence on water quality, which makes axolotls unhealthy. In the water, some fish eat axolotl eggs.
Thanks to social media and the video game Minecraft, axolotls are more popular than ever, which leads to a huge demand (需求) for axolotls in pet stores. Zambrano hopes that will help save axolotls.
Last year, his team carried out an activity to virtually adopt axolotls. People were encouraged to help pay for axolotls’ meals or their habitat (栖息地). “We know what to do. We know where to do it. And we know that if we do that properly, we will have a healthy population of axolotls,” Zambrano said, “But if people don’t care too much, it doesn’t matter what we know.”
8. The axolotl is important to biology because of its _______.
A. unusual appearance
B. role in water quality
C ability to regrow body parts
9. How does the writer prove that the number of axolotls has dropped
A. By listing numbers. B. By telling stories. C. By giving an example.
10. Which question does Paragraph 4 answer
A. What advantages do axolotls have
B. What should people do to save axolotls
C. Why have axolotls been in danger of extinction
11. What is the purpose of Zambrano’s words
A. To introduce a special animal in Mexico.
B. To call on people to pay attention to axolotls and save them.
C. To encourage the public to send axolotls to pet stores.

Nowadays, people use computers to do a lot of things every day, like searching for information and sending e-mails. But none of them would go well without the computer mouse (鼠标).
The first computer mouse appeared in 1964, invented by Douglas Engelbart. It was mainly made up of a wooden “house”, a circuit (电路) board and two metal wheels. Engelbart called his invention the “Bug”. But the long “tail” on the back made it look like a mouse, so the name became well-known soon.
Eight years later, Bill English, an American computer engineer, developed the mouse further. He changed the wheels into a rolling (滚动的) ball at the bottom of the mouse. The “Ball Mouse” was easier to use and could be found in lots of offices. It had its problems, though. For example, the ball became dirty easily from rolling round the desktop. The dirt had to be often cleaned out to keep the ball running well.
The disadvantages led to the next development around 1980. Then the optical mouse (光学鼠标) was invented. However, the optical mouse wasn’t widely used because it was too expensive.
The computer mouse has come a long way since its invention. It has been improved many times to meet the changing needs of users. But with the rise of touch screens and voice control, some experts think the computer mouse may disappear in the future. However, some people think it will still have a market.
