During my 50th birthday party with my close friends， I brought out my white Royal Crown china to add a touch of elegance. When seated， one of the guests 36 the broken gravy boat（船形肉卤盘）I’d placed among. “Is it an heirloom（传家宝）？” she asked 37 。

The story begins when I was seven years old and we lived in a big house 40 the Ohio River. Late in December the heavy rains came， and it soon 41 to the tops of its banks.

Unfortunately， under the rising river， we had to 46 from our house one night hurriedly without carrying anything and took 47 in the tents on the hill.

When I finally 50 it to my mother， she first stood 51 and then pulled me into her arms and held me tight long.#p#分页标题#e#
Now I use the gravy boat just as she had， taking it carefully from the shelf and filling it with dark， rich turkey gravy for family dinners and other 52 occasions. When guests ask about the curious old dish， I sometimes tell the story of how I 53 it from the river in our house.
But beyond the events of the flood， the gravy boat is a treasure that 54 me with the people and the places of my past. Mother tried to explain， and now I 55 it. It is not the object so much as the connection that I cherish. That gravy boat， broken and worn with age， keeps me in

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
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）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Imagine you are on a cold mountain with steep rocks around. As you climb higher， the air gets thinner and the sun’s rays stronger. Just before you reach the snowline， you find what you came for -- a small white flower， the edelweiss（火绒草）， which only grows in alpine（高山的）areas.
Plants face many Challenges living in alpine areas， and only 200 kinds of plants can grow there. Plants rely on oxygen， water， and sunlight to make their own food through the process of photosynthesis（光合作用）。 The alpine means less CO2， which makes the process more difficult. It also brings plants closer to the sun. The sunlight is so strong that it can burn a plant’s leaves. There is little water here， so the soil is dry and rocky. You also won’t find high trees because the cold wind would blow them over！
Alpine plants have advantages that help them survive the bad conditions. Like all alpine plants， the edelweiss stays close to the ground to avoid the wind. The cold water is deep under-ground， so the edelweiss grows very deep roots. Its leaves have a thick covering， which protects the plant from the wind and the sun’s bright rays. All these special Characteristics help it grow， but very slowly.#p#分页标题#e#
The edelweiss can live in the conditions， but humans can’t. Climbing in the high and cold mountains is dangerous and difficult. This is why the edelweiss became such a special flower. Long ago， a young man would pick an edelweiss flower to prove his love to a girl， although it was risky. Many men died while trying. Getting the flower proved that the man was physically strong， brave， and devoted.
Alpine plants can’t spread seeds， so it’s difficult for new plants to grow. Once all the edelweiss flowers are gone in an area， they will not re--grow. Governments help protect the edelweiss because it is considered an endangered plant.
56. The first two paragraphs mainly describe ________.
A. the process of photosynthesis B. the appearance of the edelweiss
C. the growing environment of the edelweiss
D. the challenge of mountain climbing
57. The edelweiss can survive in the alpine conditions partly because ________.
A. it grows high and strong B. it can get more sunlight
C. its leaves’ covering is thin D. its deep roots can get water
58. What can we learn about the edelweiss from the text？
A. It is planted in large quantities. B. It is a symbol of bravery.
C. It is a shade--loving plant. D. It spreads its seeds by wind.
59. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？
A. To introduce a special flower. B. To compare different alpine plants.
C. To warn people not to pick flowers. D. To encourage people to protect plants.
B
Almost no one can resist a good mystery novel or detective novel， so these novels sell thousands of copies each year. And many readers regard famous mystery author Agatha Christie as Queen of Crime， whose stories are known for their tense atmosphere and strong psychological suspense and have a great effect on the English mystery novels.
Christie was born in September 1890 in England. When she was growing up， her mother often told her stories. Christie loved these stories， which took her into a world of fantasy. Christie’ s mother also encouraged her to write from a young age and also took her to travel a lot.
She married Archie Christie in 1914 at the beginning of World War Ⅰ。 During the war， Christie wrote her first detective story; The Mysterious Affair at Styles. She chose the crime， and then invented a detective named Hercule Poirot， ranking second to Sherlock Holmes， to solve it. She sent the book to a publisher， but it was rejected.
After the war ended， Christie sent her book to more publishers， and finally， in 1920， one published it. She earned just $ 25 for it. Over the next few years， Christie wrote more books and short stories， gaining experience as a writer. In spite of her literary success， life was not going well at home. In 1928， Archie and Agatha got a divorce（离婚）。 A short time later， she met a young archaeologist， Max Mallowan， After getting married in 1930， they began to spend some time each year in the Middle East， which provided settings for some of Christies novels， such as Murder at the vicarage（1930）， Murder on the orient Express （1934）and Death on the Nile（1939）。#p#分页标题#e#
Christie continued writing for the rest of her life. When she died in January 1976， readers around the world mourned（哀悼）her death. But her tales of mystery continue to be loved by new generations of readers. They’ve been translated into hundreds of languages and are selling， well today and outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare in Britain.

A. is a biography of Agatha Christie B. promotes Agatha Christie’s novels

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator（电梯）ride. Many of us use a lift several times a day without thinking about it. But Lee Gray， PhD of America， has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. “The lift becomes this interesting social space where manners are sort of strange， ”Gray told the BBC， “They are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”
We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in， we may have to move. And here， according to Gray， lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift， you can do whatever you want — it’s your own little box.
If there are two of you， you go into different corners， standing diagonally（对角线地）across from each other to create distance.
When a third person enters， you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square， with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.
New comers to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in， for most people the rule is simple — look down， or look at your phone.
Why are we so awkward in lifts？
“You don’t have enough space，” Professor Renneberg， a German psychologist， told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators. The easiest way not to be awkward is to avoid eye contact.”#p#分页标题#e#
67. According to Gray， when people enter an elevator， they usually _________.
A. turn around and greet one another B. look around or examine their phone
C. make eye contact with those in the elevator
D. try to keep a distance from other people
68. Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator？
69. The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. judge B. ignore
C. put up with D. make the best of
70. The best title of the passage is probably ________.
A. How to Enjoy Ourselves in Lifts？ B. Why Do We Feel Awkward in Lifts？
C. A Strange Lift Ride. D. A New Research on Lifts.

Change the world
I want the world to be a better one because I am in it. However， “change the world” isn’t easy. Here are some great ways to change it for the better.
Smile At Everyone.
71 Smile at people -- the folks on the bus， or the receptionist at the office， for instance.
Depending on your culture， you might feel a bit awkward or shy at first. 72 people would respond brilliantly to a smile.

Ms. Kevin is my English teacher. She is in the thirties， but she looks very young for her age. And she’s one of the more popular teachers in our school.
Comparing with other teachers， Ms. Kevin paid more attention to her way of teaching. She tries variously ways to make her classes lively and interesting. In her opinion， we should not only know “what”， but also understand “why”。 So， instead giving us answers immediately， she encourages us to think by herself whenever she puts forward questions. With her help， we’ve made a great progress and learn how to analyze and settle problems. How a wonderful world of “why” she leads us to！
