If you only have one day to spare, consider one of these quick day trips from Los Angeles to some amazing nearby destinations. Palm SpringsIf you want to exercise, check out the Indian Canyons that offer hiking trails (路线) and different attractive views. If relaxation is your goal, shop at the stores in Cabazon, or just sit by the pool. You can see works of famous artists including Picasso and Warhol in the Palm Spring Art Museum but the works are not for sale. Solana BeachIt’s easy to get there from L. A．by train. And it’s a perfect way to day-trip because all the places are within walking distance of the station. Head down to the beach at Fletcher Cover or walk along the Cedros Design District for window shopping. Balboa IslandVisitors can enter the man-made island by car, but it’s far easier and more fun to park your car on the Balboa Peninsula and take the boat for a quick trip across the water. Walk along Marine Avenue, the island’s main street. Here you’ll find plenty of restaurants, gift shops, and you can learn some local history in Island Museum. San Juan CapistranoA piece of California history and an old town make San Juan Capistrano an unusual day-trip destination with a lot of beauty and a little learning. If you have your heart set on getting up close with some animals, pay a visit to Petting Zoo. You can also learn some local history in the museum that is perfect for a walking tour.21．What can you do in Palm Spring?A．You can taste some snacks.B．You can have different travel experiences.C．You can see some beautiful lakes.D．You can buy some famous artworks.22．Who will most probably be interested in travelling in Solana Beach?A．Those who plan to visit museums.B．Those who enjoy taking boat trips.C．Those who want to communicate with artists.D．Those who prefer visiting local attractions on foot.23．What can visitors do in both Balboa Island and San Juan Capistrano?A．Play exciting water sports.B．Spend time watching animals.C．Learn some facts about the local history.D．Shop at fashionable shopping centers.BIn the middle of the night, a baby chimpanzee (黑猩猩) is having nightmares. Chantal, his caretaker, tries to calm him down. She works at the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center, in the Republic of the Congo, in Africa. The chimp’s name is George. He was taken from his mother by hunters. Finally, he was rescued and taken to the sanctuary (鸟兽保护区), where Chantal helped him make friends with other chimpanzees. “We rescue chimps from terrible conditions and help them to live in the wild like other chimpanzees,” Chantal said, “They need to learn chimp behavior.”Chimpanzees meet a lot difficulties because people cut down forest and illegal (非法的) wildlife trade. Their population, numbering in the millions a century ago, could be down to 172,000. This makes the work of the Tchimpounga Sanctuary even more important. When opening in 1992, Tchimpounga had space for 60 chimpanzees. It has been made larger to the size of a hundred football fields, and provide home around 150 chimps. Many live on islands with thick forest in the Kouilou River. In that environment, the chimps are prepared for a possible return to the wild. The sanctuary also works with the government to reduce illegal trade in animals. Tchimpounga’s head veterinarian (兽医) Rebeca Atencia said, “We have effectively reduced the arrival of orphan (孤儿) chimpanzees to Tchimpounga. We’ve received only one orphan chimp over the past three years.”The chimps have shown that they understand the sanctuary staff’s efforts. “Saving the life of a chimpanzee is very gratifying,” Atencia says. “Chimpanzees know when you’re helped them or saved their life. Sometimes, they thank you with a hug.”As the leader of Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), Atencia also works with people who live near the sanctuary. These people depend on the forest for food and building houses, and their growing population is a danger to chimps. JGI helps the people in these places get healthcare, clean water, and others. This makes them less dependent on the area’s natural resources and reduces illegal trade in chimps. At present, there are islands within the sanctuary where the chimps can be safe from wild chimpanzees and hunters. And they’ re still under the care of the sanctuary staff.24．What happened to chimps after they were taken to the sanctuary?A．They got together with their mothers.B．They were trained to comfort social workers.C．They were taught how to live a usual life.D．They were used for scientific experiments.25．How does Rebeca Atencia probably find the sanctuary’s work?A．It was dangerous and cost a lot of money at first.B．It has received lots of support.C．It hardly saves adult chimps.D．It is a success.26．What does the underlined word “gratifying” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Challenging.B．Interesting.C．Pleasing.D．Tiring.27．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Supporting local people is good for chimp protection.B．More efforts should be made to care for wild chimps.C．The chimp population in the sanctuary has grown quickly.D．People near the sanctuary depend on tourists to increase income.CHave you ever wondered why other people don’t see things the same way you do? Isn’t it confusing that you don’t necessarily share the same viewpoints even when you come from the same family? Why can’t they just see it my way? The scientific explanation comes from cognitive (认知的) psychology; it’s a mental process known as information processing.From a psychological perspective, you have your own internal set of core values, memories, and quality of emotion. With every external event you experience, the information comes in and is filtered (过滤) through your emotions, memories, and values. How you “see” yourself, others, and the world you live in will be flavored by what you’ve experienced or believe to be true. In other words, you don’t see things as they are — you see things as you are.You have a process for filtering information and it may strike you as being odd, to say the least, when others don’t subscribe to the same beliefs, thoughts, and opinions. What if you considered, even for just a moment, that what you are perceiving is only one possibility — and that there are several other ways to interpret a situation?In every walk of life, you find yourself defending your beliefs, arguing for how you remember something that happened, and positioning yourself to influence others to see things your way. But what if you’re missing the important point that your differences are what make life colorful? Those differences are what stimulate your mind and emotions. Without differences, life would be dull. There would be no “aha” moment if you knew everything. There would be no inspiration in the form of art, music, poetry, style, or communication.There will be times in your life when boundaries may need to be enforced with others and, at the end of the day, you want to feel understood and appreciated. Learning to honor your viewpoints, while others have their own is vital for coexisting in a world where every individual is perfectly unique.28．Which of the following is not mentioned in the text to play role in information processing?A．Experiences.B．Personalities.C．Memory.D．Emotions.29．How does the author suggest you handle the situation, when divided opinions arise?A．Insist on your own beliefs and values.B．Ignore what things actually are.C．Listen to and follow others’ completely.D．Respect both your and others’ opinions.30．What is the author’s attitude towards individual differences?A．Positive.B．Negative.C．Confused.D．Surprised.31．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Why Nobody Understands You?B．How Come You Are So Uniate?C．Who is Responsible for Disagreement?D．What Makes You Think You’re Right?DParents have been urged to stop pretending Father Christmas is real in case the “lie” damages relations with their children. Making up stories about Santa risks destroying a child’s trust and is morally unbelievable, according to two experts.Psychologist Professor Christopher Boyle and social scientist Dr. Kathy McKay also criticize the idea employed by parents—Santa Claus judges children to be nice or naughty. Writing in a well-known journal, they argue, “If they are capable of lying about something so special and magical, can they be relied upon to continue as the guardians of wisdom and truth?”Defending the claims, Prof Boyle said, “The morality of making children believe in such myths has to be questioned. All children will eventually find out they’ve been consistently lied to for years, and this might make them wonder what other lies they’ve been told. Whether it’s right to make children believe in Father Christmas is an interesting question, and it’s also interesting to ask whether lying in this way will affect children in ways that have not been considered.”Dr. McKay, from the University of New England in Australia, said there was clear evidence from the world of make-believe in movies and TV that adults looked for a chance to be children again. “The persistence of fandom(影迷) in stories like Harry Potter and Star Wars indicates their desire to briefly re-enter childhood,” she said. “However,” she added, “if adults have been lying about Santa, even though it has usually been well intentioned, what else is a lie? If Santa isn’t real, are fairies real? Is magic? Is God?”They conclude, “Many people may long for a time when imagination was accepted and encouraged, which may not be the case in adult life. Might it be the case that the harshness of real life requires the creation of something better, something to believe in, something to hope for in the future or to return to a long-lost childhood a long time ago in a galaxy far far away?”32．What did parents do that drew criticism from Dr. Kathy McKay?A．They were fond of Harry Potter and Star Wars.B．They acted as the guardians of wisdom and truth.C．They said Santa Claus could judge a kid to be good or bad.D．They have told many lies to their children besides Santa Claus.33．What can be implied in the passage?A．Parents are capable of making up stories about Santa Claus.B．Lies about Santa Claus can have a negative impact upon children.C．Stories about Santa Claus develop children’s trust in their parents.D．Experts think it right to make children believe in Father Christmas.34．Why are adults fond of watching fictional movies?A．They desire to return to the long-lost childhood.B．Everything will become better in movies than in real life.C．They want to get away from pressure from life and work.D．They didn’t watch such exciting movies when they were young.35．What is the author’s attitude toward parents’ lying about Santa Claus?A．Positive.B．Indifferent.C．Disappointed.D．Concerned.第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Stare at a blank wall in any room, and you are unlikely to learn much more than the paint color. But a new technology can unnoticeably scan the same surface for shadows and reflections. 36 But they can be got by one tool and analyzed to determine details including how many people are in the room — and what they are doing. This tool could gather information from a partial view of a space. It can spy on activity from around a corner. 37 As people move around a room, their bodies block a portion of any available light to create subtle and indistinct “soft shadows” on walls. 38 But these faint signals are usually drowned out by the main source of surrounding light. Sharma and other M.I.T. researchers separated that main source of surrounding light by filming a wall in a room as its occupants moved around and averaging the frames over time. Then the researchers removed shadows from furniture or other still objects from the video in real time, only revealing humans’ moving shadows on the wall. 39 They crouched, jumped or moved around, alone or in pairs, outside the camera’s view. Then the team fed the videos into a machine-learning model to teach it which soft shadow patterns indicated which behavior. The resulting system can automatically analyze footage of a blank wall in any room in real time, determining the number of people and their actions. 40 It can register only group sizes and activities for which it has been trained, and it requires a high-resolution (清晰度) camera; a standard digital camera creates too much background noise, and smartphone camera results are even worse.A．The technology is thought advanced.B．These can’t be detected by the human eye.C．Brightly colored clothing can even cast a dull, reflected light.D．It also can monitor someone who avoids a camera’s line of sight.E．Next, researchers recorded blank walls with people in various scenarios.F．The system is considered a unique and wonderful discovery by camera specialists.G．Although this system can function in any room, it performs poorly in dim lighting.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Reading involves looking at illustrative symbols and expressing mentally the sounds and ideas they represent. Concepts of reading have changed 41 over the centuries. During the 1950’s and 1960’s especially, increased attention has been devoted to 42 the reading process. Although experts agree that reading 43 a complex organization of higher mental 44 , they disagree about the exact nature of the process. Some experts, who regard language primarily as a code using symbols to represent sounds, 45 reading as simply the decoding (解码) of symbols into the sounds they stand for.These authorities 46 that meaning, being concerned with thinking, must be taught independently of the decoding process. Others maintain that reading is inexplainably related to thinking, and that a child who pronounces sounds without 47 their meaning is not truly reading. The reader, 48 some, is not just a person with a theoretical ability to read but one who 49 reads.Many adults, although they have the ability to read, have never read a book in its 50 . By some experts they would not be 51 as readers. Clearly, the philosophy, objectives, methods and materials of reading will depend on the definition one uses. By the most 52 and satisfactory definition, reading is the ability to 53 the sound-symbols code of the language, to interpret meaning for various 54 , at various rates, and at various levels of difficulty, and to do so widely and enthusiastically. 55 , reading is the interpretation of ideas through the use of symbols representing sounds and ideas.41．A．specificallyB．dramaticallyC．abstractlyD．ridiculously42．A．understandingB．translatingC．definingD．substituting43．A．involvesB．concentratesC．specializesD．analyzes44．A．opinionsB．effectsC．mannersD．functions45．A．viewB．lookC．reassureD．agree46．A．supportB．argueC．attemptD．compete47．A．interpretingB．sayingC．recitingD．reading48．A．in addition toB．for exampleC．according toD．such as49．A．completelyB．carefullyC．publiclyD．actually50．A．partB．wholeC．standardD．straight51．A．appliedB．grantedC．classifiedD．graded52．A．instructiveB．doubtfulC．certainD．complicated53．A．strikeB．illustrateC．defineD．unlock54．A．purposesB．degreesC．stagesD．steps55．A．On the other handB．In shortC．By the wayD．So far第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Recently, “premade food (预制菜) in schools ” 56 (lead) to extensive debates.

There was a little girl named Grace that made me have a deeper understanding of the power of dreams.I used to watch her from my kitchen window, who seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break. A sea of children, and yet to me, she stood out from them all.I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could.I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. She would practice dribbling and shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark. One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly into my eyes and said without a moment of hesitation “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship. I like basketball. I decided that if I were good enough, I would get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” Then she smiled and ran towards the court to restart the routine I had seen over and over again.Well, she was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her team to victory.注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head buried in her arms. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
