Soft winds blew throughout the Windy City today. We welcomed the winds， as it was another hot day in Chicago. The wind blew， bringing us some coolness and making the weather not that hot. But it was a beautiful summer day with a blue sky.

Chicago is a great city for eating， and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods. Last night， we tried one of the citys most famous foods： deep-dish pizza. Chicago claims credit for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza， covered with a sweet tomato sauce. We topped it with olives and green peppers.

We were touring the city， mainly looking for delicious local foods. Today， we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch： Pierogis， an Eastern European dumpling-like dish， filled with foods like potatoes， cheese， mushrooms， cabbage and meat. Polish immigrants started settling in Chicago in the 1850s， and the city has one of the largest Polish communities in the U.S.

We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you！ Ashley and Caty logged onto the Internet for an on-the-road version of TALK2US. We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo， Japan， and a graduate student in India.

Meanwhile， Adam searched for some locations around the city to shoot some video. He chose a spectacular spot： Navy Pier， Chicagos most-visited attraction. The winds from Lake Michigan keep visitors cool， and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress. In fact， the view made all of us head over heels！

Our time in Chicago has come to an end. Tomorrow， the true journey begins， as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri via Route 66. Springfield， the home of Abe Lincoln， and St. Louis， the “gateway to the West，” wait for us.

24. Why did the author and her companions

like the soft winds？

A. It brought warmth to them.

B. It left the sky blue and beautiful.

C. It made them feel comfortable.

D. It improved the quality of the air.

25. What did the author and her companions

mainly do in Chicago？

A. They enjoyed famous local foods.

B. They visited Polish communities.

C. They studied the history of the city.

D. They explored for foreign customs.

26. The author and her companions stayed

online ________.

A. sharing their travel plan with strangers

B. communicating with strangers abroad

C. asking for information on foreign foods

D. learning about different cultures in the world

27. The underlined part “head over heels” in

Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ________.

A. bored B. fascinated

C. relaxed D. disappointed

C

Nowadays people are not so excited by parties and social gatherings. This is not because of having no desire to socialize， but because of smartphones.

When they are gathering together， more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study， well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up， keeping it in hand all day. In addition， too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes. 34 percent of teens admit to text while driving， and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. Peoples attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.

Just as drivers ignore the importance of focusing while on the road， many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends， some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend， which sends a message to that friend： the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition， relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.

As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their massages， smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is de-advancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact （交流） face-to-face but it is also lowering societys ability to communicate.

28. The second paragraph is developed by ______.

A. giving examples

B. listing figures

C. analyzing the effects

D. comparing facts

29. The author advocates us to make new friends ______.

A. under a free circumstance

B. in a face-to-face way

C. in different ways

D. by using smartphones

30. Over dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that ______.

A. parties and gatherings limit their social circle

B. peoples communication skills are weakened

C. people are more and more narrow-minded

D. face-to-face communication becomes less important

31. The purpose of this text is to ______.

A. appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills

B. call for an end to use the smartphone while driving

C. express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone

D. advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone

D

Scientists are debating how to limit their newly-discovered power to change genetic structure （結構）. Scientists already modify the genes （基因） of farm animals and agricultural plants to make them more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example， it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes， small flying insects， that carry the Zika virus. They might also be able to permanently remove species （物種） of plants and animals that are damaging to other species.

In a report published last week， the U. S. National Academies of Sciences， Engineering and Medicine （NAS） said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are released （釋放） into the wild.

Sixteen biologists， ethicists （倫理學家） and policymakers are on an NAS committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But， they say， there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms （生物體） from the laboratory into nature.

Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific， ethical， legal and social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction （繁殖）.

Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a countrys borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet.

32.What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have？

A. Getting rid of damaging species forever.

B. Changing the Zika virus permanently.

C. Having the changed genes in their next generations.

D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.

33. As for genetically changed wild animals and plants， what are scientists worried about？

A. They may become weaker or die out.

B. They may be more productive than before.

C. They may cause damage to their living habitat.

D. Their genes may spread to later generations.

34. According to the passage， we know that ______.

A. scientists are certain what exact results gene modification leads to

B. scientists wont modify any genes before they make the final decision

C. gene modification can benefit some farm animals and agricultural plants

D. gene modification will be encouraged in

more creatures in the near future

35. The article is mainly intended to ______.

A. appeal against research on gene control

B. show how to change genetic structure

C. inform us of power and danger of gene control

D. give the reason why gene modification is necessary

第二節（共10小題；每小題1.5分，滿分15分）

閱讀下面短文，在空白處填入1個適當的單詞或括號內單詞的正確形式。 并將答案填寫在答題卡相應的位置上。

Everyone 61 （complain） about being stuck in traffic. It is quite possible that the future city will have no traffic at all. H.G Wells， in his book The Sleeper Awakes， tells something about the traffic. In the streets of that future London there will be no vehicles. The city 62

（provide） with moving roads. One side of the road travels 63 one direction； the other side moves the opposite way. Anyone who wants to go to another part of the city steps on 64

moving “way” and sits on one of the seats until he arrives. He has none of the troubles， 65 a private car brings with it： whether there is enough petrol， whether the tyres are all right， where to park it. The moving way is always at his service， always moving 66 （silent） along， always ready 67 （take） him to his destination. That city of the future has no traffic jams.

To link up the 68 （vary） cities， vehicles driven by atomic power will pass along highways 69 （divide） into two main groups of lanes. Each group will consist of several lanes， some for slow traffic， some for fast. Crossroads will not exist on these highways， but will be replaced by bridges and junctions（交叉口）. Where these highways enter 70 （city）， ports and other built-up areas， they will pass through underground tunnels.

第四部分 寫作（共兩節，滿分35分）

第一節 短文改錯（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分）

假定英語課上老師要求同桌之間交換修改作文，請你修改你同桌寫的以下作文。文中共有10處語言錯誤，每句中最多有兩處。每處錯誤僅涉及一個單詞的增加、刪除或修改。

增加：在缺詞處加一個漏字符號（Λ），并在其下面寫出該加的詞。

Kate was walking in the teaching building when she slipped on the wet floor， make a mess of her coat. Thinking that the cleaner failed to do her job， so she could hardly contain her anger and began complaining about a loud voice. The cleaner stood there with an embarrassing look. As it turned out later， there was the sign“Caution！ Wet Floor！ ” put beside. Her face turned red.

Had she put herself into the cleaners shoe， it wouldnt ruined the nice day. Complaining simple leads to a bad mood， which may prevent us solving problems. Only when we stop complaining and taking positive action， can I have a peaceful mind and enjoy our life.
