International students seeking a medical degree in the U.S. face serious difficulties.
There is often a language barrier. Students from non-English speaking countries could have a hard time understanding their work or communicating with professors. Also, a medical education is very costly. First, students must complete an undergraduate (本科) degree. Then, most medical schools require at least four years of study. After medical school, students do at least three more years of training in their specific medical fields. In addition, many medical programs at public universities in the U.S. don’t accept international students.
However, receiving a medical education in the U.S. is not impossible. Fatima Ismail is evidence. The 32-year-old from Dubai says she knew she wanted to be a doctor at a very early age.
“I was always attracted by the brain and how it functions. And I love working with children. There is a huge population of children with developmental disabilities that are not taken care of very well in Middle East in general and my home country, in particular.”
So, Ismail completed medical school in her home country. Then, she applied to a residency program at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
“It’s a very competitive (竞争激烈的) process. Being an international medical school graduate, you have fewer chances to be accepted because the priority (优先) would be for the U.S. graduates. Having said that, it’s not impossible. All that you need to do is, basically, early planning.”
Planning is highly important for foreign students seeking admission to U.S. medical schools.
School administrators (校方) suggest international students should apply to residency programs in the U.S. after completing medical schools at home. Or they should begin their American medical education at the undergraduate level.
24. What difficulties are international students facing?
A. Language and diet. B. Culture and custom.
C. Expenses and language. D. Custom and ways of education.
25. From Fatima Ismail’s experience, we can learn that ________.
A. it’d hard to pay for the education of four years’ study in the US
B. any difficulty can be overcome as long as a person tries his best
C. international medical school graduates won’t be accepted in the US
D. planning in advance is important for being admitted to U.S. medical schools
26. To be a doctor in the U.S., how many years will you spend in medical school and training at least?
A. 6 years. B. 7 years. C. 9 years. D. 11 years.
27. Which is a better way to be admitted to the US medical schools?
A. Start the American education of medicine at the undergraduate level.
B. Take part in the international student exchange program.
C. Apply for a language school in the US.
D. Complete medical education abroad.
C
Prince George is probably the most photographed three-year-old in the world. How could anyone forget that lovely face? And no matter where they’re taken, all photos of Prince George have one thing in common: he’s always wearing shorts. So what’s the deal? Is he fighting back against the physical and social constraint (约束) of trousers? Can he not find any trousers that fit? Does he just feel naturally warm all the time?
“Boys wear short trousers until they are 8. It is very English,” expert William Hanson told Harper’s Bazaar U.K.” Trousers are for older boys and men, while shorts on young boys is one of these silent class markers (标志物) that we have in England. Although times are slowly changing, a pair of trousers on a young is considered quite middle-class — quite suburban (土气的). And no royal would want to be considered suburban.
Hanson went on to explain the origins of this tradition. Dating back to the 16th century, young boys would wear dresses. This type of clothing made it easier to repair dresses to fit for a growing child when money for new clothes was tight. Once they were about eight, they would receive their first pair of trousers.
The royal family is quite attentive to following traditions, like these rules, so it’s no surprise that they proudly keep this one alive as well. In fact, there are pictures of Prince William and Prince Harry wearing similar clothes in their early years as well. That’s not to say that Prince George will never wear trousers until he goes to school. After all, those English winters can be pretty cold. But it’s likely he won’t be photographed in them.
28. Why is Prince George always in shorts?
A. He isn’t afraid of cold. B. To look lovely in photographs.
C. He feels comfortable and free in them. D. To show his social position and fashion.
29. What made dresses popular in the 16th century?
A. The special training. B. The dresses’ low cost.
C. The way to repair clothes. D. The dresses’ convenience.
30. What does the underlined part “this one” mean?
A. Young boys’ wearing shorts.
B. Young boys’ wearing dresses.
C. Prince’s wearing similar clothes in their early years.
D. Prince’s not receiving their first pair of trousers until 8.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The royal family is proud and stubborn.
B. Prince George never wears shorts in winter.
C. The royal family respects traditions in public.
D. Prince William and Prince Harry have similar tastes.
D
People who studied plants have found out that plants carry a small electrical charge (电荷). It’s possible to measure this charge with a small piece of equipment called “galvanometer”. The galvanometer is placed on a leaf of the plant, and it records any changes in the electrical field of the leaf.
A man called Backster used a galvanometer for his studies of plants and was very surprised at his results. He found that if he had two or more plants in a room and he began to destroy one of them — perhaps by pulling off its leaves or by pulling it out of its pot — then the galvanometer on the leaves of the other plants showed a change in the electrical field. It seemed as if the plants were showing a feeling of shock. This happened not only when Backster started to destroy plants, but also when he destroyed other living things such as insects.
Backster said that the plants also knew if someone had destroyed a living thing some distance away, because they signaled when a man, who had just cut down a tree, entered the room.
Another scientist, named Sauvin, achieved similar results to Backster’s. He kept galvanometers fixed to his plants all the time and checked regularly to see what the plants were doing. If he was out of the office, he telephoned to find out about the signals the plants were sending. In this way, he found that the plants were sending out signals at the exact times when he felt strong pleasure or pain. In fact, Sauvin could cause a change in the electrical field of his plants over a distance of a few miles simply by thinking about them.
32. Backster was surprised at the results of his studies because __________.
A. he destroyed a plant by pulling off its leaves
B. he found that plants carry a small electrical charge
C. he found that plants could express feelings of shock
D. the galvanometer on the leaves of the other plants didn’t show any change
33. The plants sent out signals when __________.
A. there were two or more plants in a room
B. Backster destroyed plants or other living things
C. a man was cutting down a tree some distance away
D. Backster placed the galvanometer on the leaves of the plants
34. The scientist named Sauvin __________.
A. found out some of the same things that Backster did
B. didn’t get the same sort of results as Backster did
C. got different results from Backster’s
D. disagreed with Backster’s ideas
35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. A tree will signal when it has been cut down.
B. Sauvin could only make his plants receive nearby signals.
C. The electrical charge plants carry may shock or frighten us.
D. Plants have feelings because they can send and receive signals.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Here are some ways to help you have a happier and more successful life:
36 Instead of saying, “Why is this happening to me?” you say, “What can I learn from this?” Trust that anything difficult in life is temporary. Then life will get better. 37 Without life’s challenges, we would never know what we are truly made of. Therefore, we become stronger and more confident in the process.
38 It actually works! Don’t say it doesn’t work until you’ve tried it. We all have a blueprint (蓝图) for our lives and making plans will help us realize it.
Take care of people around you honestly. 39 If you truly care about your friends, family or someone else, they’ll stick with you through high and low because they know you care about them.
Refuse to compare your progress with others. It will only serve to destroy your confidence. Everyone is at different stages in their lives. If you understand that you’re right where you’re supposed to be, then it won’t matter what others are doing. You are unique with special qualities, talents, skills and so on. 40
A. Pay attention to your imagination.
B. The power of making plans cannot be ignored.
C. Try to learn from the difficult situations you meet.
D. Everything you’ve experienced has been in preparation.
E. It is through the toughest times we learn what we’re able to do.
F. There is no one like you, so how can you compare yourself to others?
G. People can see right through you and can feel whether you’re honest or not.

A
It is quite natural for all of us to want to preserve and protect the foods we purchase. With that in mind, we always think that the best way to do that is by putting them in our refrigerators. However, the following foods should never be placed in the fridge.
◆ Bananas
Bananas should never be placed inside the refrigerator because they keep nutrients better outside the fridge. Bananas are better kept on the counter until they ripen. The cold temperatures actually slow down the ripening process of the bananas, while the wetness and darkness of the fridge will only lead to rotting.
◆Potatoes
Potatoes should be placed in a cool, dry and dark space. The cold temperature of the fridge can turn starch (淀粉) into sugar more rapidly. It is also recommended that potatoes be removed from plastic or paper bags they may have been placed in. Also, keep them unwashed, as well in an uncovered cardboard box.
◆Garlic(大蒜)
Placing garlic in your refrigerator will actually cause it to shoot. The garlic will also rotten and even rubbery. Moreover, inside your fridge, the look of the garlic will rarely change. This means you won’t be able to tell if it’s any good until you finally slice it open.
◆Onions(洋葱)
Placing your onions inside your refrigerator will eventually end up turning them rotten and soft. Unpeeled onions should be kept out of plastic bags and fridge. One of the reasons for this is because unpeeled onions require and need air exposure for maximum life. If you have peeled (剥皮) an onion though, then you should keep it in the fridge, in a covered container.

Today, I made the time to listen to a person new to me, who I met was parking my car, “Perfect”, he said as he walked by me as I checked how considerately I parked. He was a clean cut gentleman sharing his feelings about his grown kids, parenting mistakes he is aware of, while expressing a realization to slay clear of destructive addictions.
I listened patiently and kindly. He seemed quite comfortable with me, in need of some treatment letting go of his thoughts and emotions. After talking for a while, I had to go inside, and I asked him to wait on the sidewalk and I’d be right back with some gifts for him. He was so receptive ail along, and I could feel the desires of his heart. I returned to him with bookmarks. I encouraged him, also, with a couple of inspirational thoughts to live by: To focus on what you want — how you want to feel and how you want to live and experience life.
This experience is a good thing to me, meeting this gentleman as I am experiencing the challenges of trying to be a positive encouragement to my daughter Angel in fighting her illness. I know Angel has the desire too, although in a different way and at a different level in her growth.
I’ve received little to no reaction from Angel about the positive encouragement of the family. On the other hand, this gentleman paid attention. Some of this, of course, is the big age difference, I imagine. Anyhow, I extended myself in friendship to have a walk and talk with my daughter early tomorrow morning, so as to be a curing support, and it feels good for me, too — although far outside my usual comfort zone.

Climate change has had a number of effects on cities around the world, including rising see levels. And, this has become an especially big problem for coastal cities. City officials must now prepare for higher tides on their coasts. The American city of Miami is one example. Located in South Florida, Miami is home to nearly 3 million people and billions of dollars in land and buildings.
Miami is one of the cities in America most at risk for rising sea levels. The waterfront is central to Miami’s culture and economy. But as the seas rise with climate change .the water will not stay put. Large parts of South Florida are in danger of being under water in the coming years. Across Biscayne Bay, the City of Miami Beach is making improvements - raising streets, adding water pumps and more.
It is costing the city a lot of money. Local communities will spend 500 million dollars for the improvements. Thankfully, the residents, the folks that are paying the bill for this work, realize that the cost of doing nothing is much greater. A possibility officials are discussing with residents is for city to buy homes in some places where flooding has been a problem. The city would then turn that land into parks of grassland that could hold the water.
Over time, the city may need to take bigger risks. Miami’s future depends largely on how much, and how fast, the oceans rise.
Caroline Lewis leads the climate activism group, the CLEO Institute. She says cities cannot avoid the need to move inland. But, she says，a well-planned withdrawal (撤退) could include measures to keep people safely in place for as long as possible. And, she says, the world could learn from such a model. In these two Florida cities built on wetlands, there remains a lot of hopefulness.
28. What threat does the city of Miami face?
A. It needs people’s support to keep safe.
B. It will be flooded with rising sea water.
C. It doesn’t know how to get out of trouble.
D. It needs much money to slop rising water.
29. What does the underlined part “stay put” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Keep rising. B. Make trouble.
C. Remain still. D. Spread in one direction.
30. What do the people there agree to do with their problem?
A. Leave as it is. B. Get ready to flee.
C. Donate money for it. D. Take action against it.
31. Which of the following best matches Caroline Lewis’ opinion?
A. Making coastal cities exist as long as possible.
B. Warning the world of such a natural disaster.
C. Ensuring people to live there safely forever.
D. Moving coastal cities to safe places soon.
D
Gravity signals that race through the ground at the speed of light could help seismologists(地震学家) get a better handle on the size of large, destructive quakes soon after they hit，a study suggests. The tiny changes in Earth’s gravitational field, created when the ground shifts, arrive at earthquake monitoring stations well before earthquake waves.
“The good thing we can do with these signals is have quick information on the magnitude (震级) of the quake,” says Martin Vaillée, a seismologist at the Paris Institute of Earth Physics.
Earthquake equipment in China and South Korea picked up gravity signals immediately after the magnitude-9. 1 Tohoku earthquake that destroyed parts of Japan in 2011. The signals appear as tiny accelerations on earthquake-recording equipment, more than a minute before the seismic waves show up.
“We can look before the earthquake waves arrive,” says Vallée. “If we see nothing, we can say that the quake that made these was maybe large, but not huge. If we see the signals, it means we really have a very big quake. ”
Had seismologists been monitoring for gravity changes, they might have realized sooner just how big the Tohoku earthquake was. A small increase in an earthquake’s magnitude means a large change in the energy released by the quake-and the destruction expected. That information is important for emergency responders as they decide what resources to arrange.
It’ll be a major contribution if gravitational waves can beat down the time needed to know that a big earthquake is big. But much work remains before gravity signals can be considered a reliable tool in the vital minutes after a big quake. A few extra minutes of warning can save lives, particularly in coastal areas where people can flee ahead of an incoming tsunami.
32. What can be judged if gravity signals appear on the equipment?
A. When earthquakes will take place. B. When a terrible tsunami is coming
C. What degree an earthquake reaches. D. How quickly a huge earthquake spreads.
33. How is the study of gravity signals progressing?
A. It’s already been used to predict quakes. B. It is not getting along quite well.
C. It is gating on smoothly. D. It needs further research,
34. What is the practical benefit of this discovery?
A. Predicting earthquakes successfully.
B. Offering a longer time to save lives.
C. Letting scientists better know earthquakes.
D. Replacing the present earthquake prediction.
35. Which of following can be the best title for the text?
A. Gravity signals could speedily warn of huge quakes
B. Scientists have more than one way to forecast quakes.
C. Human beings are no longer afraid of huge quakes.
D. Advanced technology could prevent huge quakes.

Dear Terry,
I’m glad that you will come to work in our country. There are many means of transportation in Beijing for you to go about. You can take a taxi, which is available 24 hours a day. It is fast, comfortable, and convenient, but it is expensive. If you don’t go in a hurry, you can take the underground or buses, which are cheap. The disadvantage is that they are usually crowded, especially during the rush hour. If you want to go sightseeing, you can take a special bus. Its upper story has a good view and it passes most famous places of interest.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Yours,
LiHua

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)，选出最佳选项。
A
A 60-year-old homeless woman named Smokie has been sleeping outside in the dirt a few doors down from a man named Elvis Summers.
Most mornings, she stops by Elvis’s Los Angeles apartment and asks if he has any recyclable materials for her. Through these conversations, they struck up a friendship.
One morning, Elvis saw a news article about man in Oakland who has been making tiny houses out of de serted materials. He was inspired to put off paying a few bills so he could buy the wood and hardware to make Smokie a brand new shelter. It took him five days to build it, and now, for the first time in ten years, Smokie has a place to hang the sign “Home Sweet Home”.
“I had nowh ere to really build it, so I just built it in the street outside of my apartment,” Elvis told Good News Network. “The local LAPD police have been super cool, and have told me they support it—as long as we move it to a different spot every 72 hours.”
He made this pretty time-lapse(延时的) video showing how he did it. The materials, including two locks on the front door and strong wheels for moving it around, cost him about $500.
“I’ve met so many homeless people, good people,” Elvis said in an email, “Since I built Smokie’s , I’ve had several people asking me to make them a tiny home and it’s turned into much more than just the one house I wanted to build.”
Although he runs an online retail store that sells EDM clothes, he has decided to launch an ambitious project to fund more shelters. He plants to get lighter and cheaper materials—without sacrificing the strength of the house—for the next round. Rick Sassen, a branch manager, kindly donated the roof shingles and cedar supporting Smokie’s house, final items Elvis couldn’t afford on his own. Sassen has promised to work out a deal on future building materials for the same cause.
21. What is the meaning of the underlined words “struck up” in paragraph 2?
A. kept on B. accomplished C. gave out D. established
22. What is the main feature of the tiny house?
A. It is air-conditioned. B. It can move around.
C. It is very light. D. It has no roof.
23. What can be inferred about Elvis from the last paragraph?
A. He will get help from poor people. B. He will help more homeless peop le.
C. He plans to build stronger houses. D. He earns his living by building houses.

You might think people all over the United States have Wi-Fi----wireless Internet service---and mobile phones. But there is no such service in Green Bank, West Virginia, a tiny town four hours from the U.S. capital, Washington D.C. Fewer than 150 people live in Green Bank, which has two churches, an elementary school and a public library. It is also home to the largest radio telescope in the world.
There is a ban on Wi-Fi in Green Bank, along with anything else that can create electromagnetic(电磁的)waves. Officials say the waves could disturb the signals the telescope receives.
For many American, a visit to Green Bank is a little like returning to the 1950s. To get there, you must read road signs---because there is no GPS service in the town. People can connect with the Internet through telephones, but wireless service is not allowed.
The observatory(天文台)is one of t he largest employers in the area. The federal National Science Foundation(NSF)spends about ﹩8.2 million a year to operate the observatory, telescope and educational center.
Jonah Bauserman is a technician. If he supposes there is a signal that is not allowed in the zone, he drives to the house where the signal is coming from and checks it. But once a week, when the device is cleaned, some banned devices are allowed near it.
People in the town respect the work of the scientists. And they say they are happy to live without Wi-Fi and mobile phones. “You know, instead of sitting here on our phones and other devices we’re out fishing and hunting and going to each other’s houses.” Everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face-to-face.
28. What will you see when you pay a visit to Green Bank?
A. GPS service B. Radio-controlled toys
C. Cell phone towers D. Guide posts
29. What is Jonah Bauserman’s duty in his work?
A. Cleaning the telescope once a week. B. Following signals from cell phones.
C. Protecting the telescope from being affected. D. Listening for signals from outer space.
30. What is the attitude of the local people towards the telescope?
A. disapproving B. favorable C. controversial D. indifferent
31. What may be the best title for this text?
A. A Better Life Without Wireless Devices
B. The Largest Radio Telescope in the World
C. An American Town Without Wi-Fi and Mobile Phones
D. Good Relationships Between People in an American Town

Children moving from primary to secondary school are ill-equipped to deal with the impact of social media, as it is playing an increasingly important role in their lives and exposing them to significant emotional risk, according to a recent report by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner for England.
The report shows that many children in year 7 -- the first year of secondary school, when almost all students will have a phone and be active on social media -- feel under pressure to be constantly connected.
They worry about their online image, particularly when they start to follow celebrities on Instagram and other platforms. They are also concerned about “sharenting” -- when parents post pictures of them on social media without their permission – and worry that their parents won’t listen if they ask them to take pictures down.
The report, which was created with data from focus group interviews with 8 to 12-year-olds, says that although most social media sites have an official age limit of 13, an estimated 75 percent of 10 to 12-year-olds have a social media account.
Some children are almost addicted to “likes”, the report says. Aaron, an 11-year-old in year 7, told researchers, “If I got 150 likes, I’d be like, that’s pretty cool, it means they like you.” Some children described feeling inferior(差的) to those they follow on social media. Aimee, also 11, said, “You might compare yourself because you’re not very pretty compared to them.”
Children’s Commissioner for England Anne Longfield is calling on parents and teachers to do more to prepare children for the emotional impact of social media as they get older. She wants to see the introduction of compulsory digital literacy and online resilience (适应力) lessons for students in year 6 and 7.
“It is also clear that social media companies are still not doing enough to stop under-13s using their platforms in the fir st place,” Longfield said.
“Just because a child has learned the safety messages at primary school does not mean they are prepared for all th e challenges that social media will present,” Longfield said.
“It means a bigger role for schools in making sure children are prepared for the emotional demands of social media. And it means social media companies need to take more responsibility,” Longfield said.

Swim-with-dolphins
Humans have always been fascinated by dolphins and there has been a long history of association between the two. _____36_____. The “swim-with-dolphins” tourist industry is becoming more popular every year. The chance to see dolphins in the wild is often a lifetime dream for many people and tour operators are always on the lookout to give their tourist swimmers the best experience they can. After all, it can cost a large amount of money to have this kind of holiday experience. _____37_____
Research has shown that while dolphins can move away if they do not want to interact with human swimmers , they do not like it at all if the swimmers slip into the water directly on top of them or if humans are in their path of travel. However, if swimmers enter the water to one side of them, the dolphins do not avoid the swimmers to the same extent. ______38______
In all cases, the dolphins seem to have become more sensitive to the presence of the swimmers. For dolphins, swimming with humans is not necessarily a high priority(优先权). _____39______ It is a new and unusual experience for them .
______40______ The advice is that dolphins should be given adequate periods of time throughout the day when they are not exposed to tourism. Humans’ lifelong dreams of swimming with dolphins in the wild have severely affected them, leaving not enough time for them to rest and take care of their own babies.
If we are to enjoy these remarkable animals and not just use them for our entertainment, then we must carefully monitor the “swim-with-dolphins” industry worldwide.[来源:学科网]
A. They cannot fulfill their lifelong dreams .
B. This possibly seems like less threatening behavior to them.
C. In the long term there could be harmful effects on the dolphin’s well-being.
D. It is frequently asked whether “swim-with-dolphins” tourism should be stopped.
E. So tour operators try to place eager swimmers as near as possible to the dolphins.
F. Over time this has turned into a worldwide tourist activity--swimming with dolphins.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for reading my letter. As the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation is coming, I'd like very much to be a volunteer.
My name is Li Hua , an 18-year-old boy student in a senior middle school. I think I’m adequate to the job. First of all , I am organized, energetic, easy-going and patient, which will contribute to a good job. Secondly , a good command of Chinese and English will help me communicate with participants fluently during the forum. Most importantly, being equipped with a rich knowledge of Chinese history and especially traditional culture enables me to spread our splendid culture. Volunteering is of huge benefit to society and myself. I would be more than happy if I could be given the opportunity. I will surely spare no efforts.
I am looking forward to receiving your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

W: How are those jeans?
M: They fit me well, and I like the style. B ut I find them a little bit too long.
W: What if you roll them up a little?
M: I guess I could, but then they would look different.
W: I see. We can make them shorter for you if you want.
M: Yeah? That would be great.

During the 1990s, he led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships, and earned the NBA’s Most V aluable Player Award five times. Jordan went to university in 1981 and soon became an important member of the school’s basketball team. In the summer of 1984, he participated in the Olympic Games in Los Angeles as a member of the U.S. team. They won the gold at the games that year.

By the late 1980s, the Chicago Bulls were quickly becoming one of the best teams in the NBA, and Jordan’s outstanding performance on the court was making him the next big star of the game. Later, he helped the American team win another gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. With a decision that shocked many people, Jordan retired from basketball in 1993 and started playing professional baseball.
