Downtown Havana resident Margarita Marquez said she received a special Christmas gift this year: web access at home, a rarity in Cuba with one of the lowest internet penetration(渗透力) rates in the world.

Marquez, a 67-year-old retired university professor, was among those selected by the government two weeks ago to participate in a pilot project bringing the web into the homes of 2,000 inhabitants of the historic center of the island’s capital.

Most of Cuba’s 11.2 million people only have access to internet at Wi-Fi hotspots, and only then if they can afford the $1.50 hourly fee that represents around 5 percent of the average monthly state salary.

Only 5 percent of Cubans are estimated to enjoy internet at home, which requires government permission. This is usually granted mainly to academics, doctors and intellectuals(知识分子). “It’s like a dream come true,” said Marquez, who lives with her sister in a second-story flat in a colonial-era building. “To be in touch with the outside world is important.”

Her 80-year-old sister, Leonor Franco, said the news they had been selected came as a surprise and she was excited to be surfing the web for the first time.

“I had never had any experience of internet,” she said, seated in front of a laptop she has owned for two years without web access, searching for videos of her favorite singers on YouTube.She said she wanted to learn how to surf the web properly so she could make the most of the experiment as long as the government provided free internet access.

“From March we will have to start paying and we don’t know if we will be able to continue. So at least we are going to enjoy January and February,” she said.

1. What does the underlined word “rarity” most probably mean in the first paragraph?

A. Something fashionable

B. Something popular

C. Something unfair

D. Something uncommon

2. How much should a Havana resident pay if he or she surfs the internet for two hours every day for a month?

A. About $100

B. About $90

C. About $80

D. About $60

3. Which statement does Leonor Franco probably disagree with?

A. The internet helps her keep in touch with the outside world.

B. Web access is so important that she should take good advantage of it to learn more.

C. It’s unnecessary to continue using the web once it has to be paid for.

D. People hope the government can provide free internet access.

4. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. People surf web at home

B. A pilot project helps people surf web

C. Residents surf web in Havana

D. People surf web at home in Havana pilot project

Jakarta, Indonesia—At least 23 people were killed and 17 others were missing after a ferry caught fire on Sunday off the coast of Indonesia’s capital, officials said.

The sea wind was blowing heavily and the ship was carrying more than 230 people from Jakarta’s port of Muara Angke to Tidung, a resort island in the Kepulauan Seribu chain, when it caught fire, officials said. Most of the passengers were Indonesians celebrating the New Year’s holiday, according to local media reports.

Seply Madreta, an official from the local Disaster Mitigation Agency, said the fire gutted around half the ship. He said that about 22 injured victims were rushed to hospitals, and that 23 bodies had been discovered.

A search involving around 10 ships was underway to find those who were missing, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency said in a statement.

Witnesses told MetroTV that the fire broke out about 15 minutes after the ship left Muara Angke. The cause of the fire was not immediately clear. Some passengers told local media that they first saw smoke coming from the ferry’s engine.

“Most of the victims were found near the exit door at the front part of the ship. They may have attempted to escape the fire,” said Hendra Sudirman, acting head of Jakarta’s search and rescue office.

Madrid’s city hall on Wednesday announced that it had ordered half of most private cars off the roads to fight pollution, a first in Spain.

From Thursday, “Vehicles with even-number (偶数) registration plates will be allowed to drive around on even-number days and cars with odd-number (奇数) registration plates on odd-number days,” it said in a statement.

The measure will be reevaluated on a daily basis depending on pollution levels.

It is activated when levels of harmful nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere go above 200 micrograms per cubic meter in at least two measuring stations for two days running, and if the air is unlikely to clear immediately.

There are exceptions to the ban, such as for mopeds (摩托自行车), hybrid (油电混合动力) cars, those carrying three people or more or used by disabled people. Buses, taxis and emergency vehicles are also exempt.

“It’s not about traffic restrictions but about the important issue of public health,”said Deputy

Mayor Marta Higueras.

“Lots of people suffer from breathing problems and are very affected by pollution.”

With 3.5 million residents and some 1.8 million cars, Madrid often suffers from bad bouts of pollution.

The move to ban half the cars from the roads is level three out of four antipollution measures. Level four also bans taxis from the city, except those using hybrid cars.

Inigo Henriquez de Luna, PP spokesman in Madrid’s local parliament, slammed it as “ideological”and said authorities should do more to encourage residents to avoid using their cars rather than punish them.

The move follows a similar decision by French capital Paris earlier this month.

9. According to the ban, we can know that _________________.

A. all the vehicles are banned from the roads in Madrid

B. even-numbered cars are allowed to drive on odd-number days

C. odd-number cars are not allowed to drive on even-number days

D. there are no exceptions to the ban according to the passage

10. We can learn from the passage that the purpose of the ban is ____________.

A. to control pollution

B. to prevent car accidents

C. to save energy

D. to relieve traffic jams

11. It can be concluded from the passage that _____________.

A. Affected by pollution, many people in Madrid suffer from breathing problems

B. The measure to ban half of private cars will be carried out every day

C. Fighting against pollution in Madrid is the first in Europe

D. About two people in Madrid own a car, causing the pollution so serious

12. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. An anti-pollution measure is being taken in Madrid for people’s health.

B. Madrid is doing a research to know about the serious level of its air pollution.

C. Madrid is trying to restrict the number of cars that its residents can buy.

D. Public vehicles are not ordered off the roads in the anti-pollution activity in Madrid.

Skagen, Denmark: Beautiful Beaches and an Art Museum to Match

With the beauty that this town brings, many artists come here for inspiration as well as to view works of art at the museum nearby.

In today’s day and age, having solid English skills is a must. It’s becoming the language of the world and all of us have got to keep up. But if you’ve been learning for a while and don’t find yourself really communicating with ease,16You’ll need a bit of ingenuity and dedication, but luckily it’s easier no w more than ever. You ready to get started right now?

Find native English speakers.17Talking to actual native speakers is the most effective way to improve your English skills, speaking or otherwise. So whether you have to Skype them, call them, or beg them to speak to you, do so. Your progress will be faster this way than any other.

18No, not English music, the music of English—its lilt, its prosody, the sing-songy-ness(乐感) of it. Even if you speak perfect English technically, if you speak it like a robot you’re not speaking it the way it’s meant to be spoken.

Slow down. Above all, if you want to be understood, slow down. The more clearly you speak, the better chance your listener has of understanding you. It’s tempting to get nervous and want to speed up to get it all over with, but you can’t do that!19

Record yourself. Though we hear ourselves all the time, we really don’t know quite what we sound like. So record yourself!20And then you can concentrate on what you need to work on.

A. In certain areas it’s the hardest thing to do, but it’s the best use of your time.

B. Listen to the music of English.

C. What are the weak and strong points you hear in your speech?

D. how do you get around the learning difficulties?

E. While you may be making slow improvements.

F. Being clear is key—for some native English speakers, too!

G. Take different style classes.

32 my time in and above the Arizona desert, I learned not only about the mechanics and techniques of aviation, but also about myself and how I see the world. As I floated in that seemingly 33 sea of air, I became aware of the variety and complexity of the humanity 34. On the ribbons of roadways, each tiny car carried people with hopes and dreams. I wondered 35 any of those people had ever wished to fly like an eagle. Then I 36 that each must have his or her own dreams and ambitions. That’s what makes us unique. We try to respond to something 37inside us. I also realized that I was especially 38 to be making my own dream come true.

Everywhere I go, I hear, “Do what makes you happy and you will be happy.” It sounds like standard advice, but I’ve really thought about it and taken it to heart. I couldn’t care less about how much money I 39 or what benefits I receive. I know that I am already in hot pursuit(追逐) of my dreams. And, even if they change, even if they finally don’t involve aviation, I’ll always aim to fly with the 40 .

Health is 41 most important thing in the world. Nothing is more important than health. If one takes away our money, houses, cars, or even our clothes, we can still survive. 42 if our health is taken away, it is certain that we surely die.

How can we keep healthy? In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid 44 (eat) food high in fat, like French fries or cookies, 45 are junk foods. I eat lots of vegetables and fresh fruit. Besides, I only eat a little meat.

On the 46 hand, doing exercise is very important. Taking exercise every day 47 (help) us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.

What’s more, I think friends are important part of one’s health. I always feel better when I am with friends than alone. When I am with friends I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. It is good 48 (stay) with my friends.

By eating properly and exercising 49 (regular), I can keep my body at a proper weight. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage 50. I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep fit.

一、One possible version

Dear Tom,

Glad to hear from you. You asked me in your last letter about my plan for the summer vacation. I’m sorry that I didn’t reply because I was busy preparing for the coming Entrance Examination, which is very important for me. As a result, I had no choice but to completely focus on my study. I believe that if you were me, you would make the same choice.

During the summer vacation, I will do lots of things. First of all, it’s a good time to relax. I will spend some time traveling, visiting some places of interest and meeting some friends. Besides, I will go to see my grandparents and do some housework for them. Last but not least, maybe I will work as a volunteer to help the poor children in my hometown.

It’s my plan for the summer vacation. Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

云南省2017届高三下学期第一次统测英语试题

云南省2017届高三下学期第一次统测英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A My doorbell rings at 11 a.m.On the step,I find an elderly Chinese lady,She is small and slight.She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands. I know this lady.It is by no means her first visit.Her daughter,Nicole,bought the house next door last October. Nicole,who is currently in Shanghai,has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly,and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals. I know what is inside the paper carrier bag-a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice,vegetables and either chicken,meat or shrimp.This has become an almost-daily occurrence. Communication between my benefactor（恩人）and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn't speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is "hello".Once,she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen,which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right. "Your mother just can't be bringing me meals like this all the time,"I protested.“I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land,like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her,”I said. "Oh,no,"Nicole said."Don't worry about that.She has to cook for the family anyway,and she wants to do it for you.You can call her Wing,which is her surname." The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well,so with her help,I have found out that Wing is 68-13 years younger than I am-and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution.For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain. So here we are,two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised,neither of us able to speak the other’s language.But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper carrier bag,handed smilingly to me by Wing. Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words-it's the least I can do after such a display of kindness. "Thank you"is,of course,the first one,which somehow seems inadequate.

Seoul is a modern city full of delicious food options as well as great attractions, historical sights, and places to shop. Best time to visit The best month for sightseeing in Seoul is during the warm weather between summer and early fall. Getting around In Seoul, you have three main forms of transportation: train, subway, and taxi. The fastest option to get around Seoul is the Airport Railroad Express train. It has two options: the express and the all-stop. While the all-stop option is cheaper, it’s about 15 minutes slower than the express. Seoul has one of the largest subway stations in the world with 14 lines. It may seem a bit awful, but once you get used to it, it’s pretty easy. Another option to get around Seoul is to rent a car. This is one of the least used options as Seoul has a convenient public transportation system. Places to visit Everland — the largest theme park in Korea. Lotte World — a great theme park for kids with never-ending thrill rides. Seoul Tower — a symbolic skyscraper where you can take breathtaking views of the city. TrickEye 3D museum — if you love photos, you will find strange photos in this museum. Where to stay There are lots of places to stay at Seoul. Below are our top recommendations:
