• 2．A mild-mannered cat by day，at night Rusty was just the opposite.Often，Bill and I would lie in bed quarreling over whether we should let it out to wander in the dark or put up with another sleepless night.
  So，instead，we lay in the dark each noisy night and wondered what damage Rusty would do.And always in the morning，if I had forgotten to put the butter in the cupboard，there were marks from a rough，little tongue and once even a paw print.
     Something had to give.Bill looked at me straight in the eyes， " Do it." My reservations were such，however，that it took me several weeks and the loss of nearly a pound of butter to decide we didn't have much choice.
     That night，I put Rusty on his cat bed and patted him a little guiltily on the head.Then I began filling the kitchen sink with about two inches of water.Rusty loved jumping into a damp sink and then tracking water all over the cupboards and across the kitchen floor.According to the article I saved from a website to my folder，cats used to jumping into your sink，but they won't do it again if they jump in and find a couple of inches of water.
     Next，I cleared the cupboards of everything.Then I got out all my metal cookie sheets and a fork to go with each.According to the article，you should support a cookie sheet with a fork.When your cat jumps on the counter，he will knock down the insecurely balanced cookie sheets.What happens next will stop him from doing it a second time.
     Everything in place，I slipped onto our bed quietly，waiting.Suddenly，there came an awfully loud noise of metal.A chain reaction of crashes next.Finally，Rusty rounded the corner in the hall heavily and leaped through our doorway onto the foot of our bed，trembling under our cover.And that was the night Rusty，the Midnight Troublemaker，retired.
  
  （1）Which of the following best describes Rusty at night？

  
  A．Cold-blooded.
  B．Adorable.
  C．Good-tempered.
  D．Troublesome.
  （2）What did Bill mean by saying "Do it"？

  
  A．To leave the cat outdoor.
  B．To give the cat a lesson.
  C．To reserve food for the cat.
  D．To give the cat more butter.
  （3）What did the writer do before she went to bed that night？

  
  A．Filled the sink with water.
  B．Laid two traps for the cat.
  C．Covered the counter with sheets.
  D．Cleaned the kitchen thoroughly.
  （4）How did the author probably feel about the outcome of her effort？

  
  A．Satisfied.
  B．Disappointed.
  C．Anxious.
  D．Regretful.

• 3．In May 2012，Australia's Macquarie Dictionary and the McCann Advertising Agency gathered a group of language experts to name a phenomenon common in the age of the smartphone.They called the phenomenon "phubbing"，and defined（定義）it as "the act of snubbing（無視）someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention." It's not the usual way words begin to exist.
     A month later the first example of phubbing in a major newspaper appeared in a letter to the editor of The Age，published in Melbourne.Since then，the word has appeared in various media the world over.Phubbing has yet to be fully adopted in the U.S. ，but we have collected some evidence of it in use.
     On 29 September 2015，James A.Roberts wrote in the Huffinington Post， "In the present case，phubbing is a combination of the words phone and snubbing.To be phubbed is to be snubbed by someone using their cell phone while in your company.The "phubb" could be an interruption of your conversation with someone when he or she uses their cell phone or is distracted by it （steal glances when they think you're not looking） instead of paying attention to you.Maybe worse，you've been phubbed if someone used their cell phone instead of communicating with you while staying close to you.Oh，the shame. "
     The meaning and various forms of the word have yet to settle out.Is it phubbing if you're staring at your tablet instead of your phone？Is the singular noun （and the base form of the verb） spelled phubb，as in the example above，or phub，as in some other sources？These are the sorts of questions we'll need answers to before we're ready to consider phubbing and its relations for entry.In the meanwhile，you can of course use phubbing if you feel the need.It seems we all do these days.
  
  （1）What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about phubbing？

  
  A．Its usage.
  B．Its birth.
  C．Its influence.
  D．Its definition.
  （2）What may phubbing probably lead to according to James A.Roberts？

  
  A．Obvious embarrassment in life.
  B．Heavy reliance on cellphones.
  C．Complete ignorance by your friends.
  D．Permanent breakup of relationship.
  （3）What can we learn from the last paragraph about the word phubb？

  
  A．It arouses heated arguments.
  B．It proves to be settled.
  C．It's not included in a dictionary.
  D．It's not difficult to understand.
  （4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．Where Phubbing Leads Us？
  B．Why Phubbing Ruins Our Life？
  C．What Makes Phubbing Commonly Seen？
  D．How Phone Snubbing Becomes Phubbing？

第二節(jié)（滿分25分）閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
      It was one of the hottest days of the dry season.We had not seen rain in almost a month.The crops were dying.Cows had stopped giving milk.The creeks and streams were long gone back into the earth.It was a dry season that would bankrupt several farmers before it was through.Every day，my husband and his brothers would go about the tiring process of trying to get water to the farm.If we didn't see some rain soon，we would lose everything.
      It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and witnessed the only miracle I have seen with my own eyes.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son，Billy，walking toward the woods.He wasn't walking with the usual carefree abandon of a youth but with a serious purpose.I could only see his back.He was obviously walking with a great effort trying to be as still as possible.Minutes after he disappeared into the woods，he came running out again toward the house.I went back to make sandwiches，thinking that whatever task he had been doing was completed.
      Moments later，however，he was once again walking in that slow purposeful stride toward the woods.This activity went on for over an hour：walking carefully to the woods，and then running back to the house.Finally，my curiosity got the best of me.I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
      He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked，very careful not to spill the water he held.Maybe two or three tablespoons were held in his tiny hands.I sneaked closer as he went into the wood.Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them.He had a much greater purpose.As I leaned in to spy on him，I saw an amazing sight.A mother deer with a huge pair of deer horns appeared in front of him，with a baby fawn（幼鹿）lying on the dry ground.I almost screamed to get him away.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
      However，Billy walked right up to them.___________.
      I witnessed the most beautiful heart working hard to save a life.___________.
