Last summer, I spent four months working in France, where the company I was working for put me up in a house that didn’t have Wi-Fi. I wasn’t looking forward to it.
I soon discovered, however, that living in a house without Wi-Fi was easier than I expected.
Contact between my friends and family was significantly reduced to the odd text message here and there. I couldn’t enjoy my usual web browsing on BBC iPlayer, social media sites, keeping up to date with the news, or even wanting to know the opening hours of shops in the new area I was in.
I didn’t, however, spend a full four months without connecting to a Wi-Fi network. It was only a five minute walk to the reception where I could connect for free and spend as much time online as I wanted to at my own leisure. It made me think , though , how unnecessary it can be , how unnecessarily we rely on it—how we perhaps rely on it too much. As a person, I was more sociable. I spent more time with my housemates instead of hiding behind a computer screen. I did other things that I wouldn’t necessarily have done if I could have browsed the web at my leisure. I read more, I cooked meals for my friends, and I even tidied up more often. Dare I say it; I learned how to live without Wi-Fi. Dare I say it; I found it was easier than I had imagined. 4. What was the writer’s first feeling when finding her house had no Wi-Fi? A. Unexpected. B. Angry. C. Shocked. D. Depressed.
5. How did the writer keep in touch with her friends and family without Wi-Fi?
A. By writing regularly. B. By text message. C. By video calls. D. By telegram. 6. What was the writer’s life like without Wi-Fi? A. Dull. B. Lonely. C. Active. D. Relaxing. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A life without Wi-Fi B. Different views on the Internet C. The disadvantages of Wi-Fi D. How to use the Internet

Humans are the only creature that gets around by standing up and putting one foot in front of the other. Our ability to walk upright has allowed humankind to travel great distances and survive changing climates, environments and landscapes.
Countless scientific studies have found that walking is really good for us and this simple act can provide a number of healthimplications, which help people live longer. In fact, a walking routine, if done properly, might be the only exercise people need.
How much walking should one aim for? You’ve likely heard we need 10,000 steps a day. That’s about 5 miles. But contrary to popular belief, this recommendation doesn’t come from science. Instead, itis from a 1960s advertising campaign to promote a pedometer (计步器) in Japan. Perhaps because it’s a round number and easy to remember, it stuck.
Since the 1960s, researchers have studied the 10,000-steps-a-day standard and have turned up mixed results. Although 10,000 steps is certainly a healthy and worthwhile goal, it’s not fit for all.
For instance, a recent Harvard University study involving more than 16,000 senior women found that those who got at least 4,400 steps a day greatly reduced their risk of dying early when compared with less active women. The study also noted that these benefits continued up to 7,500 steps. This 7,500 mark isn’t surprising: It’s similar to common public health recommendations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) physical activity a week for adults. 8. What does the underlined word “implications” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Benefits B. Problems. C. Habits. D. Manners.
9. Where does the 10,000-steps-a-day standard come from?
A. A Harvard University study. B. Science research on health. C. A pedometer advertisement. D. Public health recommendation.
10. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. 7,500-steps-a-day standard is the best choice for all. B. More than 16,000 old people were involved in the study. C. Those who walk at least 4,400 steps a day won’t die early. D. 150-minute moderate exercise a week for adults is advised. 11. What does the author mainly want to tell readers? A. The more you walk a day, the healthier you will be. B. We can benefit from continuous and proper walking. C. Walking upright helps humankind to explore the world. D. Advertisements can always tell us some scientific suggestions .

Coke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886, making it a rather true andtested favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries. This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.
. Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂). If you have a bunch of small rusty objects, put them in coke overnight and give them a goodscrubin the morning. Coke helps to break down the rust, making cleaning much easier. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.
. Like the previous item, the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is especially useful for car windows. Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window, then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink. As coke is fullof sugar, you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.
. For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time, one can of coke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down. If you have been sprayed, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke — wait for a few minutes, then wash yourself with a shower. Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!
. Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom. The black is almost impossible to remove; this is caused by
over-cooking. To remove the black and renew your pot, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat. After an hour or so, wash the pot as normal. 12. What does the underlined word “scrub”in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Start. B. Cleaning. C. Shake. D. Example.
13. What is important while using coke to clean car windows? A. Use a dry cloth. B. Rub the window lightly. C. Don’t pour too much coke. D. Clean the sugary matter thoroughly.
14. For which purpose does coke have to be mixed with other material? A. To get rid of the black on the pot. B. To breakdown the rust, C. To remove smells. D. To clean windows.
15. What type of writing is this text?
A. An advertisement. B. A review. C. A news report. D. A practical guide. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a hot day in the middle of July. I decided to walk to the neighborhood store where it sold my favorite thing, ice cream. I pulled a friend towards the ice cream store, almost passing out from the burning sun on the way.
As we walked on, my friend kept saying that it was too hot. She thought that she was stupid to decide to come with me to buy ice cream. I felt sorry and tried to encourage her. “We're almost there. Just think of the cool and sweet taste of ice cream in your mouth. It'll be worth the walk,” I told her. But I had to admit that the store was quite a distance from our houses. During the journey, my mouth began to become dry and I wanted to drink.
When we were about a block away from the store, I noticed an old lady who was walking in our direction. She was about 70 years old. She had a big back problem, so she was unable to keep her back straight. She was struggling, pushing a shopping cart full of things like the soap, bread and water. With each step toward her, we began to see her appearance more clearly. It appeared that she was often unhappy and easy to get angry.
I looked at my friend to see if she had noticed her. I could see that she had and that she disliked the old lady due to the lady's appearance. As we approached the lady pushing the shopping cart, my friend directed me away from the old lady and the cart.
I began to observe other passers-by. They were also trying to avoid her. Suddenly I heard a terrible sound behind me. I quickly turned around to see what it was. I found the lady's cart had been knocked over by something on the ground.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1:
Things in the shopping cart like the soap all dropped on the ground.
