You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year1066, when Norman forces invaded (⼊侵) what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French.During the Norman occupation, French became the language of England’s rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for morethan 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period.

Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French wordseventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have notalways stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strangesituations if the words are used in the wrong way.

Take, for example, the French word college. In English, college can often be used in place of the word university, orsometimes as a school within a university. However, in French, college actually means “middle school”, or the level ofschooling for students in grades five or six through eight.

There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English, the word chat is averb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word chat is the word for an animal: a cat.

If an English speaker says someone is jolly, that means they are cheerful or friendly. But in French, jolie means someone isgood-looking or pleasant to look at.

In any case, both are nice things to say to someone.

21. What language did the upper class speak in Britain of Norman times ?A. English.B. French.

C. Both English and French.D. Some unknown language.

22. What does college mean in French?A. The teenager time.B. University in French.C. Middle school in English.D. University in common sense.23. What is the text mainly about?A. Comparison between two languages.B. Difficulty in grasping English.C. French words in English.D. Development of English.B

The world’s two largest pizza chains, Dominos and Pizza Hut, are constantly trying to come up with new ways to keep

existing customers and attract new ones. While Dominos attract fans by using high-tech concepts like delivery robots, PizzaHut focuses on making the delivery box more exciting. In 2015, they introduced a pizza box that could be transformed into amovie projector (放映机) and now, one that turns into a fully functioning DJ.

The battery-powered DJ Pizza box looks like a normal delivery box from outside. However, flip (轻弹) it up and you will findsomething amazing. To transform the box into a playable DJ, the user has to sync it to a smart phone or computer viaBluetooth and connect it to a DJ software. Once the setup is complete, the DJ can instantly become the life of the party bypressing on the cardboard keys in the box.

As you may have already guessed, getting your hands on this lightweight DJ

turntable is not going to be easy. The limited edition box which was shown to the public earlier this month is only available inthe United Kingdom, and even worse, at just five of the country’s 350 Pizza Hut location.

Though that is unfortunate, Pizza Hut did introduce a Flick Football Field pizza box for its US fans this week. It features afootball field printed on top and comes with removable goal posts, football triangles, and a scorecard. The tabletop game isplayed by flipping the paper balls back and forth across the board and seeing where they land on the scoreboard. The playerwith the highest score wins. Though it may not be as exciting as the playable DJ, the game board is easier to obtain sincethey are available at all US Pizza Hut locations with the purchase of a medium pie.24. Why does Pizza Hut focus on new forms of delivery boxes?A. To absorb Dominos.B. To increase its sales.C. To make its pizza tastier.D. To please British customers.

25. What does the underlined word “sync” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Add.B. Link.C. Gather.D. Collect.

26. What do we know about the Flick Football Field box?A. It is a limited edition pizza box.B. It is intended for customers in the US.C. Any Pizza Hut customer can get one.D. It seems more interesting than a DJ box.C

Emoji might not be your first choice of communication in a disaster, but

researchers feel they could make a difference during emergencies, where every second counts. Now, the Emoji-quake

campaign is lobbying for an earthquake emoji to be accepted into the Unicode— the standard group of icons (图标) availableon digital devices worldwide. The campaign aims to find an earthquake-appropriate design to be admitted to Unicode.“Approximately up to one third of the world’s population are exposed to earthquakes,” explains University of Southamptonseis mologist (地震学家) Dr. Stephen Hicks, a founder of the campaign. “So we really want to be able to communicate to all ofthose regions, all of those different languages, and an emoji is an amazing way of doing that.”

Unlike many other weather and climate related events, where longer warning times or visible signs are available,

earthquakes move incredibly quickly and are difficult to measure while they are still occurring. Populations in areas likeJapan and Mexico are dependent on earthquake early warning technology, which issues an alert on digital devices andbroadcast media. “You may have seconds to get under a table or to protect yourself,” explains Dr. Hicks. “That can be lifesaving in many cases. Naturally you don’t want too much wording in the warning message.”

Pictographs (象形⽂字) and other visuals like emoji have a track record of being faster and easier to understand than writteninformation. Dr. Sara McBride, a communications specialist, who is also part of the campaign, told BBC News, “Emoji cancross the boundaries of written languages, helping communicate valuable information to people who may struggle to read acertain language.”

The potential usefulness of emoji in emergencies could extend well beyond earthquakes. A team of designers also came upwith emerji—an entire set of emoji for climate and environmental events.27. What was the aim of the Emoji-quake campaign?A. To add an earthquake emoji to the Unicode.

B. To attract people’s attention to earthquakes.C. To reduce the damages by earthquakes.D. To help communicate in earthquakes.

28. What can we infer from Dr. Sara McBride’s words about emoji?A. Visuals like emoji can convey more information.B. Emoji is being used to convey valuable information.C. Emoji can cross the boundaries of written languages.D. Emoji is a universal language in human communication.29. What may be the relationship between emoji and emerji?A. Emerji is part of emoji.B. Emoji is included into emerji.C. They are two independent systems.D. Emerji is for events beyond earthquakes.

30. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?A. Could an emoji save our life?B. What can emoji do in our life?C. How is emoji changing our life?D. Do we really know about emoji?第⼆节(共5⼩题；每⼩题2分，满分10 分)

Depression is a condition so common. 31 The World Health Organization (WHO) calls it “a leading cause of disability.”

Difficulty in falling asleep, l oss of appetite, and loss of ability to concentrate are just a few of the other effects of depression.While life events such as the loss of a spouse or a job may create a happening of depression, many cases come from within,such as people’s diet.

As is reported, both before and during a happening of depression, those with the condition show a “poor appetite”. 32 On theother hand, depression may be closely related to protein. Many cases of depression happen to those who don’t eat properly,which then result in lack of protein taken into the body.

33 It all comes down to amino acids (氨基酸). Proteins are made up of amino acids. Both the human brain and nervous

system use amino acids as a substance that creates a signal from one brain cell to another or one nerve cell to another. Withthem communication between the cells becomes possible.

34 But eight of them, the “essential” ones for communication between the brain cells, must be eaten in one’s diet. So a dietwhich is lacking in protein lessens the signal being sent from one brain cell to the next during a thought. The process canlead to twisted signals, which can not only lead to depression, but also aggression.35

A. It happens with aggression.B. It may lead to serious effects.C. But how lack of protein occurs?D. There are 20 different amino acids.

E. But what does protein have to do with depression?F. The poor appetite itself can create a depressed mood.

G. This is why depression can often express itself as anger or aggression.第三部分英语知识运⽤（共两节，满分45分）

As they had not paid the rent forseveral months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们).

He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he beggedhis sister to keep it secret. Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin’s running shoes. Neha’s school hours were in themorning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jatin. He could then run to his

school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Jatin often arrived late and was warned by theschool.

A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair ofshoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.The day of race arrived. Jatin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began toache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Neha and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes hewould win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third.

How to protect the traditional Chinese cultures?

A heated discussion was held in my class recently in order to encourage us students to protect the traditional Chinesecultures.

The students hold different points of view about that. Some suggest resisting Western holidays due to their strong influence.

Some argue that we are supposed to hold some creative activities to celebrate traditional cultures so that we can have funduring Chinese festivals. Still others consider various competitions should be held at times, which provides more chances forthe citizens to recite Chinese poems and practice calligraphy.

In my view, it is high time that we spared no effort to protect the traditional Chinese cultures. Otherwise we will regret oneday.作⽂⼆：Paragraph 1:

Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this crucial point, Jatin clenched his teeth,jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. Finally, he was the fourth one to dash across the finish line. Jatin couldn’t helpsobbing at the thought of letting his sister down. But much to his surprise, the runner who collided with him was disqualifiedfor breaking the rule and Jatin won the third prize. Jatin felt overjoyed and relieved during the award ceremony, holding theshoes close to his chest.Paragraph 2:

Filled with pleasure, Jatin walked home in no time.He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his

arrival, Jatin found Neha was walking about outsid e nervously and anxiously. “Neha, see what I have got for you.” Jatin saidexcitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Neha saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilledwas she that she threw herself at Jatin. “Thank you! Jatin.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sisterhugged tightly together.听⼒原⽂：Text 1

M: Pedal Power is a small charity based mainly in the UK. At Pedal Power, they collect second-hand bikes in the UK andsend them to some of the poorest regions in the world. When they distribute bikes overseas, they don’t give them away forfree. In order to continue operating they need to have a constant supply of bikes which they send out every six months. InAugust 2000, they simply ran out of money. It was a terrible situation. Fortunately, in October 2001 they won an EnterpriseAward which helped them enormously.

Dan Pearman is the founder of Pedal Power. He got the idea of exporting bicycles to developing countries while he was inEcuador. Dan Pearman went there in 1993 and he joined a voluntary organization. Where Dan Pearman lived in Ecuadorwas a rural area. His neighbor had the only bicycle in the village, whereas everyone else walked everywhere. His neighbor’sbusiness was very successful. For years Dan Pearman couldn’t understand why. Then he realized having a bike meant hisneighbor could reach anywhere he liked without much trouble. Other local carpenters could only accept jobs nearby, so nomatter how skilled they were, they could never do as many jobs as his neighbor. When he returned to the UK in 1998, hestarted planning Pedal Power.
