Welcome to Stuart’s Fruit Farm! This is a family-run farm in New York. Here, you can pick fresh fruits along with your friends and family!

Seasonal directions (指示)

Late June—July

In mid-June, the first fruit harvest (收获) begins. A wagon (马车) ride takes you from the parking lot up the hill to the cherries. We grow three different kinds of sweet cherries. We also grow sour cherries. They are usually used in desserts.   

July—August

Soon after the cherry season, watermelons are ready. Usually, on the first two weekends in July, we are open to visitors to pick watermelons. We also have 12 acres (英亩) of peaches (桃子), so there is enough for everyone.

September—October

As warm summer days give way to cool fall days, apples begin to ripen (成熟). We have recently added Asian pears to our farm. This popular fruit ripens at the end of September. And through a visit to the pumpkin area, you can try to find the “perfect” pumpkin for your Halloween party!

B

Have you ever felt like you needed your own space? Sometimes we all need to be alone. Plants need to have their own space, too. You can walk away or shut your door when you want to be alone, but what can plants do? They can’t walk or run anywhere. They use allelopathy (植化相克).

All plants need water to grow, but in some dry places there isn’t much water, so the plants have to use allelopathy to keep on living. Also all plants want to have as much soil for their roots to grow in as possible, and one way to do this is to make other plants’ roots die by using allelopathy. Finally, all plants need sunlight to live. If other plants grow nearby, their shade means less sunlight, so the plants use allelopathy to stop other plants from growing too close to them.   

Here’s an example — pine trees. Each year the needles (针叶) from pine trees fall to the ground. These needles that cover the ground have a kind of acid (酸) in them. The acid doesn’t hurt the pine trees, but it won’t let other plants grow.

14．If a plant wants to have its own space, it can ______.

A．walk away      B．close its leaves      C．use allelopathy      D．cover the ground

15．Which of the following isn’t allelopathy?

C．To cover the ground with acid needles.      D．To get enough water for other plants.

16．The needles from pine trees can ______.

A．hurt the pine trees      B．help other plants grow

C．stop other plants growing      D．make the soil richer

B．What makes plants grow well?

C．Why do plants need to stay alone?

D．What plant needs allelopathy?

C

Today, young people spend about six hours a day in front of a TV or a computer and less than four minutes playing outdoors. It is not healthy for people’s mind and body when they spend more time on technology but not outdoors.

Some health experts (专家) call green time “vitamin G”. Kids who don’t get outdoors much seem to have trouble in school. Doctors believe that is because being outdoors excites the mind more than sitting around indoors. Even those who usually spend a lot of time outdoors find a difference when they don’t get green time. Madelyne P., 14, says, “I feel more tired when I don’t get outdoors.”   

Researchers believe the advantages of green tine come from the outdoor activity in the free time such as jogging or boating. Exercise makes something special in brain that can improve learning, mood (情绪), and sleep. It also develops learning by increasing connections between nerve cells (神经细胞) that are important in learning and memory. Some schools hold classes outside for those reasons. Student Hannah Smith, 18, says she believes the outdoors helps her think and gets her to learn carefully. Learning in a forest sparked her interest in art and photography, too,

Even doctors are helping give their patients some vitamin G. Miller writes “park prescriptions (处方)” for her patients because, she says, “being outdoors is good for health.” She finds that when she gives patients park prescriptions they seem to continue with them.

Getting outdoors can be simple, just like calling together your family for a picnic lunch. All it takes is five minutes or more of green time: Get outside, and get your vitamin G!

18．Which of the following activities is NOT an example of “vitamin G”?

A．Watching TV.            B．Going hiking.

C．Taking a boat tour.      D．Having a picnic.

19．The word “spark” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

A．influence      B．harm      C．change      D．develop

20．Researchers and doctors probably agree that ________.

A．kids without green time are likely to have trouble in school

B．people who get outdoors a lot may feel the same indoors

C．exercise improves learning by increasing the number of cells

D．vitamin G may help patients get into the habit of being outdoors

21．What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．The discovery of a new vitamin.      B．The advantages of green time.

C．The influence of technology.      D．A different way of learning.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most loved children’s books of all time, and many adults enjoy it as well. It tells the story of a young girl named Alice, who follows a rabbit entering a magical world called Wonderland: she has many experiences which seem to change the rules of reasoning or common sense. The popularity of the book comes from its imagination, interesting story, and art work.

The writer of the book is Lewis Carroll. In fact, Lewis Carroll was not the writer’s real name. His real name was Charles Dodgson. One day, he took a boat ride down the Thames River to have a picnic with three little girls who were friends of the family. To keep them entertained on the ride, he told them a story in which Alice, the middle child, was the main character. They enjoyed the story very much.

Charles later wrote the story down under the name Alice’s Adventures Under Ground and gave it to Alice as a Christmas present. Later, he gave a copy to his friend George MacDonald. George read it to his children and they loved it. George suggested to Charles that he make a book from his story. Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35,000 words. It was first printed in 1866, with art work by John Tenniel, under the name Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The book was an immediate success.

One of its first fans was Queen Victoria. She immediately requested (要求) a collection of all of Lewis Carroll’s works. She was surprised to find that they included many works on math. In fact, Charles Dodgson was a highly respected mathematician (数学家). This can be seen in many puzzles and plays on reasoning that appear in his books and poems.

Since the story was first printed, it has kept selling up to the present day. It has been translated into over fifty languages and has had several movies based on it. The story is even mentioned in the popular 1999 film The Matrix by the character Morpheus.

22．The passage is mainly about ________.

A．Charles’ family life

B．a girl’s adventurous experience

C．a magical world called wonderland

D．the birth of a book and its lasting influences

23．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The writer published his works under his real name.   

B．The character Alice was taken from George’s child.

C．John contributed partly to the popularity of the book.

D．Charles offered a copy to George for advice.

24．We can learn from the passage that ________.

A．Queen Victoria asked for a few of Charles’ writings

B．Charles had a gift for reasoning and writing

C．Charles had his works translated into fifty languages

D．The Matrix was based on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

25．Which of the following is the right order of the passage?

a. Charles gave his story to Alice as a Christmas present.

b. Charles had a picnic with three little girls on the Thames.

c. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was first printed in 1866.

d. More parts were added to the story by Charles.

e. The book won a large number of fans.

A．c-b-a-d-e      B．c-a-b-e-d      C．b-a-d-c-e      D．b-d-a-c-e

I have a long list of the places I would love to visit. With so many travel destinations (目的地) to choose from, picking the ideal one can be a difficult task.     26   

If you only have a short time to go on vacation, you should think about visiting one or at most two destinations.     27     You will spend too much time traveling and little time relaxing and enjoying yourself.

    28     I try not to visit destinations with uncomfortable snowstorms or heavy rains that might make my travel experience terrible. You can’t control the weather. However, you can plan the trip by choosing destinations with ideal weather conditions. Find a destination which is neither too hot nor too cold for you.     

I always think about the money when choosing a travel destination.     29     If planned well, the trip will still be perfect with less money.

I often choose a travel destination according to the activities I’m interested in. I always ask myself, “Why do I plan the trip?” “What can I get from the trip?”     30     If you aren’t sure about your purpose (目的), it may take you a lot of time to look up popular tourist activities in different cities across the world. That’s why you should never go on vacation without planning.

A．Weather conditions are also what I care a lot about.

B．So remember to think about your reasons for traveling.

C．You might feel tired if you visit too many places in a short trip.

D．I have prepared several tips for you to choose the right destination.

E．Choosing where to spend your vacation doesn’t have to be so hard.

F．Searching online when planning will help you save on flight and living costs.

G．At times, I think it’s a good idea to ask someone for help with the destination

Nowadays, millions of Chinese leave the countryside to look for jobs in the cities. Among these is Zhong Wei, a 46-year-old husband and father. It is 13 years     39     he let his hometown Anhui. With a hard job in a car factory, he doesn’t find much time to visit his hometown. “I     40     return home at least once a year, but I haven’t been back for almost three years now,” he says.

His     41     often talk with him on the WeChat about how their hometown has changed. A large hospital and new roads have been     42    . There is even a railway which goes directly to the capital city.

第五部分 短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

请认真阅读下面短文，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

When I was a little kid, my grandma often told me I     44     (will) be a manager in the future, and I believed it would happen. But two years ago, I decided to give up on this idea. The reason     45     I give up is that my mother, as a manager of a company, often works too much and does not have time to take care    46    our family. So, I will not do the same job as she     47     (do).

Now my dream is to be     48     excellent doctor. I hope to cure (治愈) sick people quickly so that they can enjoy their     49    (life). I also hope I can prolong the average lifespan (延长平均寿命) of people to 100 years old. Then, people can see what life will     50     (be) like in the next century. Isn’t that cool?

But my mother questioned this. “If all the people live for 100 years, then the world will have a huge population (人口),” she said. “The     51     (many) people there are, the fewer resources (资源) we will have. What do we do then?”   

Although it’s a difficult question for me, I think we can solve it step by step. Perhaps there is another student who has a big dream like I do,     52     he or she can work out that problem. Then my job is just to make more people     53     (health) and let them live longer. In any case, I will stick to my dream and try my best to be a good doctor.

第六部分 阅读表达（共3小题；54题2分，55题2分，56题3分，满分7分）

请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。

On a bright March afternoon, some travelers moved through the snow along Bearskin Lake. There were three dads and four teens. The teens, 14 to 16 years old, chatted and laughed. They each were pulling a sled（雪橇）which was full of winter camping gear（用具）. Their dads—Bob Feyen, Jesse Schomberg and Kevin Skwira-Brown—also pulled gear.

Even when they were young, the children did their share. “The rules, from the beginning, were that everyone has to pull a sled.” Kevin Skwira-Brown said. “We want them to grow up strong.” In the early years, the children pulled small sleds with just sleeping bags. Now, they pull full-size sleds.

For 10 years now, these dads and sons/daughters have been making this journey each winter. “Bob, Kevin and I had done this one winter with our children.” Schomberg said. “The kids thought it was great fun, so we made it a tradition（传统）.”

On this 32-degree March afternoon, the group was going to Daniels Lake. They would camp there for three days. They all stayed in Schomberg’s tent.

Hannah Feyen told a story about a trip when she was young. “We were walking across a stream one time, and I lost a boot in it. I shouted to dad for help. He just shouted back ‘You can do it!’ and I did.” laughed Hannah.

Bob Feyen said they were taking their children to this trip every March. They would keep on the tradition until the teens moved away for college.

54．How many times has the winter trip been held?

                                         

55．Why did the dads want to have the trip with their children?

                                         

56．If you have a task, would you like to complete it by yourself or with others’ help? Why?
