Grain Rain(谷雨)，at the last term in spring，generally starts on April 20 and ends on May 4. Grain Rain comes from an old saying，“Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grain”，which shows that this period of rainfall is very important for the growth of crops.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a lovely boy was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?”he asked.

C In 2004,18-year-old Nadal helped Spain win the Davis Cup by defeating (击败) Andy Roddick, who was the second-best American player in the world at the time. This made Nadal the youngest player to win a match for a victorious country in the Davis Cup. Professional(职业的) tennis is played on courts made of three different materials：clay, glass and hard court. The different surfaces have a significant effect on the game, so much so that for many years few players mastered tennis on all three surfaces. Nadal was called“The king of Clay”because he was so dominant(占优势的) on clay courts. But now he is one of several players to win grand slam titles on all three surfaces. In 2016, Nadal founded a tennis academy in his hometown，Manacor, Spain. His goal was to combine tennis instruction and education so that young athletes would not need to neglect their education. He intends to live in the area long-term and remain involved with it. Perhaps Rafael Nadal's incredible career will continue，and he will also make great efforts in passing on his skills and techniques to new prospective athletes. 26. Where is Rafael Nadal from? A. England B. American C. Spain D. France 27. Which of the following is correct according to the passage? A. Nadal became the youngest player to win a match the Davis Cup in 2013. B. A few players mastered tennis on all three surfaces. C. Nadal was best at playing on clay court. D. He is the only one to win grand slam titles on all three surfaces. 28. What can we guess from this passage? A. Rafael Nadal has never founded tennis academies in his hometown. B. Rafael Nadal decided to live abroad C. Rafael Nadal is not going to play tennis. D. Rafael Nadal will work hard to teach young athletes tennis skills. D Space tourism might be the dream of many people on the planet, but a journey to space is not is not as easy as simply buying some tickets at a travel search engine；it is only reserved for the privileged (有特权的) few that can afford the cost. One of the options that impressed me most is the one offered by a company called Space Adventures. What they have in place is a space tourism program that slows you to travel with the Soyuz to the International Space Station(ISS). The trip starts a few months in advance with intensive training dealing mainly with gravity operations，fight control and survival activities. When all training is over, your space trip begins. The trip can be planned exactly according to your needs，whether youre going for scientific research，or simply for an adventure. I doubt whether you will find any other kind of trip that has such a thorough preparation period beforehand. One of the great things to do，even if it makes your space trip a bit more expensive，is that you could go on a space walk during your trip. That would definitely be a good opportunity to dance outside with your loved one to a slow waltzSorry,I forget there's no sound in space! Whatever option you choose，the only obstacle you might face is the cost. All the other requirements seem to be less than those for getting a visa to a foreign country. Generally your height should be between 160 and 185 cm，your weight between 50 and 95 kg and be in good health. Finally, in answer to the question you've been wondering about. Granted，space tourism is expensive，but exactly how expensive would a normal scheduled flight to the ISS cost? Would you believe it costs between $30 and $ 40 million? A Russian language course is included! 29. Besides the body requirements, which of the following is most likely to stop someone from going into space? A. Their knowledgeB. The climateC. The costD. The visa 30. What does underlined expression “in advance”mean? A. at leastB. ahead of C. make sureD. in all 31. Whats the best title of the passage? A. Space tourism a dream-made reality? B. Are you ready for space tourism? C. How to participate in a space tourism program.D. Why only a few privileged persons can afford space trips.第II卷笔试部分四、选词填空，请将序号A-H写在相应位置上。（共4分，每小题0.5分）A. first B. sound C. appeared D. animalsE. but F. ages G. jumped H. stillThe （1）_ cartoons appeared in newspapers.

Products （产品）are not produced in a“green”way and people havent realized the importance of buying and using environment-friendly products. These lead to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of waste like glass，paper and plastics is produced. The waste problem is difficult to deal with. However, today, more and more people are choosing“green”and expecting that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product，they ask questions like these：“Will this soap be bad for the environment?”“Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?” Over 20，000 people took part in a web survey (调查) on buying environment-friendly products. Among them，8，129 people say that they now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. That is to say, companies must change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that the products are“green”. A few years ago，it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets，but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels(标签)to show that they are green. Some companies have made the clean and safe products their main selling point in advertising. The growing need for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. The public will no longer accept the old idea of“buy it，use it，throw it away, and forget it. ”As a result，the companies have to take action. 1. What do more and more people consider before they buy products? 2. In the survey, how many people prefer green products now? 3. Is it possible or impossible to get green products in the supermarket now? 4. Why do the companies have to reconsider how to do business and take action? 5. What's the passage mainly about?六、写作(10分) 根据中英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。 我们一生中会有很多难忘的经历，通过这些经历我们体会、学
