第一节 (共10小题；每小题2.5 分，满分25分)
A
Mike and I were excited about shopping for our first home, but our money was limited.
One agent(代理人) recommended a house. Although her description sounded wonderful, the price was beyond our range, so we
refused. But she kept persuading us to have a look at least.
We finally did and it was love at first sight. It was Our Home, attractive, overlooking a quiet lake. Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners, a nice old couple, we felt the warmth and happiness of the marriage within that home. As perfect as it was, the price remained too high for us. But every day, we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of what it would be like to live there.
Days later, we made an offer — far below the asking price. Surprisingly, they didn’t laugh at us. They renewed their offer instead. It was also much more than we could afford, but far less than the former asking price.
The next day, we got a disappointing message that another buyer had offered a much higher price. Even so, we decided to talk with the owners directly. We made our final offer, which still was thousands of dollars less than the other buyer’s bid. We knew it, but we had to try.
“Sold!” said the owner. Then he explained: He’d seen us sitting by the lake all those times; he knew how much we loved the place and that we’d appreciate the years of work they had put into their home; he realized he would take a loss by selling it to us, but it was worthwhile; we were the people they wanted to live there. He told us to consider the difference in the price “an early wedding present.”
21. Why did the writer love the house so much?
A. The house was large and comfortable.
B. The house was attractive and the owners were kind.
C.The agent kept recommending the house.
D. The price was not far from what the writer could offer.
22. What’s the relationship between Mike and the writer?
A. A couple to be married. B. Brother and sister.
C. Close friends. D. Husband and wife.
23. Which of the following is probably the reason why Mike and the writer finally got the house?
A.Their true love for the house was felt by the owners.
B. Their agent helped them a lot when they met with troubles.
C. The owners of the house were always ready to help them.
D. The price others offered wasn’t high enough to attract the owners.
B
Billboards are everywhere. Indoors, advertising is in magazines and newspapers, on television, and even popping up on computer screens. Outdoors, advertising means billboards. They’re in train stations and on the sides of buildings. They’re along highways in the countryside. Billboards were once large painted signs that urged consumers to buy anything from fried chicken to dish soap. Nowadays, billboards are high-tech devices that advertise the products of the modern world, from cellular phone service to perfume.
Billboards have changed along with technology. Originally painted directly onto wooden boards or the sides of buildings, billboards were first improved by attaching large printed strips to a structure to form an advertiser’s message. Later, mechanical billboards were developed which could display three different images. As one image changed to the next, the movement caught the eye of anyone passing by. More recently, electronic technology has produced back-lit billboards, which shine a light through an image printed on a sheet of plastic, and digital billboards that can display huge images similar to those on a television screen.
The latest trend in billboards is interactivity. In Belgium, a billboard that looked like a pinball machine had people on the street using text messaging to answer a question the billboard sent to their cell phones. If they answered correctly, they had a chance to win a new car. In Japan, some billboards feature QR (“Quick Response”) codes, a newer version of bar codes, which can be read by specially programmed camera cell phones. When a person takes a picture of a billboard with a QR code, the advertiser’s website appears on their phone. A billboard in New York’s Times Square allows people on the street to play a video game using their cell phones, and a huge digital sign in London’s Piccadilly Circus responds when someone waves at it and displays different images depending on the weather.
241. What’s the writing purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To describe the functions of billboards. |
B. To list the benefits of billboards. |
C. To show the author’s attitude. |
D.To introduce the main topic. |
25. It’s possible for people without cell phones to interact with the billboard in ________.
A. Belgium |
B. Japan |
C. London |
D. New York |
26. What can we learn about billboards from the passage?
A. Billboards advance with the development of technology. |
B. Billboards are the products of modern technology. |
C. The latest billboards are not primarily designed for advertising. |
D. The more advanced the billboards, the more images they can display. |

Chinese box office hit Wolf Warrior Ⅱ has received a thank­you letter from the president of China Kweichow Moutai (Group) Distillery Co., Ltd, the country's most famous brand of liquor, because of the scenes where the hero drank Moutai liquor in the movie.
The movie, which premiered (首映) on July 27,2017, tells the story of a former Chinese People's Liberation Army soldier protecting Chinese citizens and local factory workers in an African war zone.

Your free advertising of Moutai in the movie has once more allowed this famous Chinese brand to impress the world.”
Yuan also added that the company had organized screenings of the film for its more than 30,000 employees, which improved their feelings of nationalism and “company cohesion (凝聚力)”．
Many moviegoers also said they were impressed by the patriotic plot of Wolf Warrior Ⅱ. Tong Yemeng, a 32­year­old office worker from Beijing, told Sixth Tone that she watched the film because of positive reviews from her colleagues and on the social media. “I felt so moved and proud of my country when I saw Wu Jing waving the national flag in the war zone，” she said. “It showed our increasing national power.”

A．He was a worker. B．He was a president.
C．He was a coach. D．He was a soldier.
28．Why is Wolf Warrior Ⅱ so popular?
A．Because it is the first film concerning an African war zone.
B．Because Wu Jing played a key role and directed the film.
C．Because the movie is concerned with the love of our country.
D．Because the plot gives audiences a deep impression.
29．Which word can best describe Yuan Renguo's attitude towards the movie when he wrote the letter?
A．Astonished. B．Favorable. C．Relieved. D．Uncaring.
