A. an advertisement B. a textbook C. a travel magazine D. a medical newspaper BThe months are familiar to everyone. Nearly any small child can rattle off the twelve months of the year. But how and why did the names come into being? Every months name tells a story. January is named after Janus, a Roman god described as having two faces, one looking forward and one looking back. As the god of doors, he had to watch out for friends and enemies coming from either direction. February is a form of februare, which was a Roman festival. On that day, people begged the gods for healthy children and enough crops in the next year. March is named after Mars, whom many people have read about as the god of wars. Few people realize that at first Mars was the god of springtime. Fighters would “take the winter off” from fighting, resting while the weather was too bad for the battle. In the spring-around what we now think of as March battles would start again. From this time line, Mars soon became more well known as the god of wars than of springtime. April is a mystery. Experts argue a lot about the origin of it. May is also named after a goddess, Maika. She was the goddess of plants, because plants often begin to have flowers in May. Not every month kept the same name over the years. The first name for July was Quintilis, “the fifth month”. August was at first called Sextilis, “the sixth month”. Likewise, September, October, November, and December were the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth months. How did July and August get their new names? July was named after Julius Caesar, the first emperor of Rome, after he was killed in 66 BC. August was named after Augustus Caesar, Julius Caesars nephew.24. The underlined phrase “rattle off” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”. A. shake until something drops off B. say something quickly from memory C. get rid of D. feel unhappy25. The writers main purpose in writing the passage is to _. A. show why there are twelve months and not just ten months B. explain how the months got their names C. show how important human activities are in deciding the names of the months D. suggest the new names for the twelve months26. According to the passage, Janus needed both of his faces because _. A. he was the caretaker of fighters in the battle B. he had to look in both directions as the god of door C. he was the god of the beginning of the year D. he had more days in his month than in the other months27. According to the passage, which of the following months is named after a festival? A. February. B. March. C. April. D. May.CA popular Chinese mobile game, “King of Glory,” has been criticized for promoting an inaccurate representation of ancient Chinese history.State media Guangming Daily published an article on March 28 blaming the game for distorting history.” The article claimed that, despite using many famous names from Chinese history, King of Glory completely misrepresented the figures true stories and status.According to the newspaper, famous poet Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty became an assassin ( 刺 客 ), while noted doctor Bian Que from the Spring and Autumn Period was cast as an expert on poison. More than 60 characters in the game were characters from history, including many from the classic novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms.”“They (the characters in the game) not only travel through time and space to fight together, but also take on historical figures names with no connection at all to their experiences in history,” the newspaper argued, adding that this characteristic could easily confuse young players. Some 54 percent of the games players are aged between 11 and 20, the newspaper added.“King of Glory” is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game designed by Tencent Games. It was launched in 2015. In 2016, the total profit of the game reached nearly 7 billion RMB, some 18 percent of the total profit for mobile gaming in China.The Guangming Daily article was met with significant support and approval. Some people pointed to online search results for the historical figures, which increasingly provide information about the characters in the game rather than the real historical figures.However, some hit back at the criticism, arguing that games are supposed to be creative, and that “King of Glory” doesnt claim to be set in any specific historical period.“I am aware that there are many young players, some even in primary school. Some might be affected by the game in certain ways, but it can do a lot of good if students become interested in the characters and do more research to that end,” one “King of Glory” player told the Peoples Daily Online.28. What does the underlined word “distorting” in paragragh 2 mean?A. Reflecting. B. Twisting.C. Recording.D. Creating.29. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. About half of the games players range from11 to 20 in age.B. In 2016 the total profit for mobile games in China amounts to about 39 billion RMB.C. You may get information about the assassin Li Bai in the game through a search engine.D. Many young players become interested in the historical figures through the game.30. What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?A. To introduce the game to the public.B. To present that the game has become a target for criticism.C. To explain why the game is popular.D. To convince people that the game is distorting history.31. Whats the authors attitude towards the game?A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.DFor years, people have wondered whether theres life on other planets. Scientists may now be closer than ever to answering that question.Using powerful telescopes, a team of astronomers in South America discovered a new planet, called Proxima b. It circles a star named Proxima Centauri, in the same way Earth circles the sun. Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our solar system.Scientists believe the new planet has a rocky surface and is similar in size to Earth. More importantly, theyve determined that the distance between Proxima b and its “sun” gives the planet a similar temperature to Earths. This means it could have liquid water. The presence of water on a planet makes it possible for life to exist there. Scientists refer to planets like Proxima b as “Goldilocks planets” because they are not too hot or too cold, but just right to possibly support life.Astronomers have found other Goldilocks planets in the past, but none are as close to Earth as Proxima b. Still, the new planet is 4.2 light years from Earththat is about 25 trillion miles away.Despite the long distance, astronomers hope to get a much better look at our new-found neighbor one day. But theyll need to wait until more advanced telescopes are developed. They may also send a robotic spacecraft to investigate the planet.32. Earth is to the sun what _.A. Proxima Centauri is to Proxima b B. Proxima b is to Proxima CentauriC. Proxima b is to the solar systemD. the solar system is to Proxima b33. The writer introduces the new planet mainly by _.A. listing figures B. making the comparisons C. following the space order D. giving examples34. Planets like Proxima bare referred to as “ Goldilocks planets” because of _.A. the presence of waterB. their temperatureC. the life on themD. their size35. We can infer from the last paragraph that _.A. existing telescopes are still far from advanced B. astronomers have a long way to go to explore the new planetC. the long distance will prevent astronomers from exploring the new planetD. astronomers have got the whole picture of the new planet第二節(jié) (共5小題；每小題2分, 滿分10分)根據短文內容, 從短文后的七個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 Eye expressionsAs is known to us all, eyes are the windows of the heart. And, actually, the language of our eyes is one of the most powerful and useful tools of non-verbal communication.36 Here are four most important eye expressions that we see every day.1. Smiling eyesResearchers have long noticed that a sincere smile starts with our eyes. When we are sincerely happy, the skin around the corners of our eyes crinkles . But a social, polite smile touches only our lips. 37 For example, when a shop assistant smiles at you, offering help, you will immediately get the feeling that they are just trying to sell you something. 2. 38 People who avoid eye contact during a conversation are often considered as insincere. What does little or no eye contact mean then? Anything from shyness to nervousness.3. Friendly eyesWhen you are carrying on a conversation, looking the speaker straight in the eyes sends a clear message to him: 39 This is why so many public speaking experts advise keeping eye contact with the speaker.4. “Shut” eyesCovering the eyes for a long period of time sends a message that you are trying to block out something that you do not want to hear. For example, a man who is asked to work on the weekend may cover his eyes with his fingers as he answers, “No problem.” 40 A. What his gestures are showing is that he is not happy about it at all. B. The smile you are given is not in the eyes. C. Such behavior is seen with liars. D. You are paying attention to the talk. E. So it is important to learn how to read the body language of the eyes. G. Empty eyes G. Shy eyes第三部分：英語知識運用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié) 完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分） I worked in a restaurant. One night a woman came in with three small children.
