AWhen you are traveling, it’s vital to know about the customs and etiquette（礼仪，礼节）of the global village. What we consider polite behavior at home isn’t always accepted outside our borders.● Etiquette of Gift GivingGift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in Netherlands, don’t purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky. Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or a business partner in Russia. Yellow blooms suggest cheat or a relationship break up. Traditionally, red carnationsare placed on the tombs of the dead. Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea, be mindful of you r pen’s ink color. Writing a person’s name in red ink traditionally suggests that the person has passed away—an important point to remember when giving a birthday card.● Eating CustomsBeing early or on time is viewed as being rude, too eager or even greedy in Venezuela. If you are invited to someone’s home for a meal, it’s recommended that you arrive 10 minutes later than the requested time. When having a meal in Egypt, don’t use the salt shaker （盐瓶）. It’s insulting to your host to spread salt on your food, which means that you find the meal terrible. Japan is a very polite nation, and their fondness for etiquette extends to the use of chopsticks. According to Japanese custom, if you’re in the middle of eating, use the opposite end of your chopstic ks to secure food from a shared plate. When doing business in Turkey, it’s the custom for your host to pay for your meal. Requests to split the bill won’t be accepted. If you would like to pay your fair share, Turks recommend inviting your host to a follow-up meal.21. Which of the following is tree according to the passage？A. You can use blue ink to write notes to your friend from South Korea.B. Giving a fancy kitchen knife to a friend from Russia is a good choice.C. Dining with Japanese, one can use either end of the chopsticks to get food from sharedplates.D. Invited to a meal, one should arrive earlier to show respect for the host.22. What does the underlined word “insulting” in Paragraph 3 refer to？A. Respectful.B. OffensiveC. Indifferent.D. Challenging.23. where is this passage probably from？A. A news report.B. A culture column.C. A travel essay.D. A food magazine.BI live in Hollywood. You may think people in such an attractive, fun—filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The troth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more long—lasting emotion. Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir（回忆录）after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun：depression, alcoholism, drag addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, and long—time loneliness. The way people hold on to the belief that a fun—filled, pain—free life equates happiness actually decreases their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is tree：More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very efforts that are the source of tree happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, charitable work and self—improvement.24. According to the passage, “fun activities” ________.A. are the things we do before we find happinessB. may help us relax and forget our problems sometimesC. will lead us to the tree happinessD. could provide long—last positive effects25. In the author’s opinion, those Hollywood stars ________.A. possess happiness because they are rich and famousB. experience almost all kinds of happy thingsC. tell us happiness isn’t equal to fun using their own storiesD. have to suffer a lot before they become successful26. It is difficult for people to find real happiness because ________.A. they believe happiness is the fun life without painB. they find pain equals unhappinessC. they fear to lose what they already have in lifeD. they are afraid all their efforts were in vain27. The main purpose of the text is to ________.A. describe the difference between happiness and funB. show the true meaning of happinessC. encourage people to pursue fun activitiesD. advise people to find their real lifeCTiny monitoring devices have become an increasingly common way for scientists to studyelusive animals that are difficult to track on a day-to-day basis. However, now it seems that smart. seals have caught on to the trick and are using it to their advantage to catch fish!To find out if that is true, a team of researchers from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland selected a group often young grey seals that had neither encountered the ocean nor been exposed to any kind of acoustic（声音的）tags. The researchers then placed the seals one at a time, inside a pool that contained 20 foraging boxes, only two of which housed fish — one with tags and the other without.Each seal was allowed to explore the boxes twenty separate times. In order to ensure that mammal was not depending on its memory, the fish were moved to different boxes each time. At first, there was no difference in the amount of time it took the seals to discover the tagged and untagged fish. However, after they had been in the pool a few times, they started locating the tagged fish much faster.To confirm that this indeed was the case, there searchers conducted a second experiment using two boxes — one with pieces of fish and the other with just acoustic tags. Sure enough, the seals were all attracted to the one that was sending out signals.While this experiment involved only seals, the researchers believe that other marine mammals may also be using the information to catch prey. Sadly, predators like sharks that have been tagged by scientists may be negatively affected, as pings they emit could warn their prey of their presence. Besides potentially messing up nature’s food chain, the “dinner bell” effect of the acoustic tags could also mean that the conclusions reached by previous fish studies may not be correct. Now that the secret is out, scientists will have to come up with another way to conduct their studies — one that is not detectable by the crafty marine animals.28. What does the underlined part “the trick” in Paragraph 1 refer to？A. Attaching tiny monitoring devices to sea animals.B. Following the sound that fish make.C. Tracking sea animals on a day-to-day basis.D. Looking for ways to catch fish.29. What is implied about the ten young grey seals？A. They have acoustic tags attached to them.B. They have better hearing than normal seals.C. They have been trained to recognize acoustic tags.D. They were not born in the ocean.30. After doing the two experiments the researchers most probably concluded that ________.A. it’s really eas y for seals to find their preyB. seals can be easily fooled by acoustic tagsC. seals are much cleverer than most of the other sea animalsD. seals can really make use of the acoustic signals to prey31. The researchers seem to believe that sharks tagged by scientists ________.A. may benefit from the tagsB. may attract seals by mistakeC. may find it hard to find preyD. may be annoyed by the emitted pingsDHey, ladies! It’s summer again and it’s time for a ne w you! No more make-up, no more pretending! Yes, that’s right! It’s time to stop making ourselves beautiful for the camera, and start posting confident pictures without all the make-up and extra tricks we add onto ourselvesin the hope of appearing more attractive and beautiful. Because believe it or not, we already are!After we wash our face and go to bed, it is not so perfect. You know it the face we should confidently be showing to the world! Who cares if you have pimples（面痕）or your eyes look small, or if you have crow’s feet？Guess what？Those are actually what make you such a beautifully grown woman. And any person who doesn’t think so is just not as strong as you.Nowadays we are so prone to do anything and everything to make us look as young and perfect as possible. Yet the troth is, by doing this, we are actually making our tree skin get worse and badly affected by all the junk we put on. We are making ourselves believe that by changing our appearance we will be more accepted and seem more attractive to other people. And yet, our final goal is to find that without all of the make-up. What kind of twisted（扭曲的）game are we really playing with ourselves？So I would like to make a suggestion for all women out there to give yourself a break at least this summer. Take a couple of pictures without all of that make-up on. You don’t need it every single day, especially not this hot summer! You’ll be surprised that the more confident you are about showing the real side of you, the more attractive you will be to everyone else.Yes, the saying, “Beauty comes from within” is an old one, definitely still holds some troth today. So be brave, carefree, and make-up free! Let the world see you for who you really are!32. The author thinks that ladies should show others _______.A. their crow’s feetB. their beautiful picturesC. their real face with confidenceD. their attractive appearance33. What does the author think of adding make-up to our face？A. It makes perfect images.B. It’s really meaningless.C. It makes true images go outdated.D. It’s hard to achieve what we wish.34. What is the author’s purpose of quoting the old saying？A. T o declare it’s what one really is that matters.B. To show the importance of adding make-upC. T o give us some examples of adding make-up.D. T o tell us not to neglect those old sayings.35. What is the topic of this text？A. Spending more time being with families and friends.B. Not putting on any make-up on our face this summer.C. Paying enough attention to ourselves in this summer.D. Showing the beautiful side of ourselves to others.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

As soon as she comes back from school, she sets about doing housework; sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. Besides, she prepares nice dishes for us to eat. She seems to be on the go all the time. As she has been very busy working hard every day, she looks older than she really is.

She had to catch two buses to arrive in time for first-period chemistry classes at Ingraham High School in Seattle, US.Ingraham starts at 8 am, but Noble-Randall often didn’t get to sleep until after midnight.“It was really hard not to fall asleep in class,” she said.Her mom solved the problem this year when she discovered that other parents had hired (租用) a private city tour bus to take their children to school.“Now, she leaves the house at a much more reasonable time 7:10 in the morning...to catch the little tour bus at 7:23 am,” said her mother, Noelle Noble.That may be one way to help students get more sleep. But more than 3, 300 people have signed an online petition (请愿) looking for a better solution from the Seattle school district. Those who have signed the petition want all high schools and middle schools to start no earlier than 8: 30 am. Most of Seattle’s high schools and middle schools start at 8 am or earlier.Later start times for teenagers are an idea that some parents around the nation have wanted for years. They’ve provided plenty of scientific evide nce that teenagers tend to be night owls (夜猫子) and delayed start times improve their health, mood, attention, and, in some cases, learning.But attempts to delay start times for teenagers haven’t worked. Coaches don’t want late dismissals cutting into spor ts practices; community groups don’t want to wait longer for gyms and fields and before- and after-school programs don’t want to change their schedules.This time, however, they’ve got Seattle School Board president Sharon Peaslee on their side. She herself is the mother of two high school students. Peaslee hopes other board members will pass her plan calling on the district to find a way to make the changes.8．How did Noble-Randall solve her problem of early classes?A．She quit first-period classes.B．She found a faster way to school.C．She took a private city tour bus to school.D．She rented a house near school.9．People who have signed the online petition want schools to ________.A．provide a school bun serviceB．delay school start timesC．improve the quality of lessonsD．stop students from falling asleep in class10．Why did parents’ attempts to change school start times fail?A．Not enough people signed the petition.B．No scientific evidence could support their idea.C．It would influence the schools’ schedules.D．It would influence many out-of-school activities.11．What can we infer from the article?A．More parents will hire a private bus for their children.B．Seattle schools plan to change their schedules next year.C．There will be less after-school activities and programs.D．There is now a higher chance of delaying school start times.Silvia Maier works at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. She and her colleagues invited 51 young men into the lab for 3 hours of tests. They showed each man 180 food items on a computer. Each time, they asked the men to judge how healthy, tasty and appealing the food was.Then the researchers stressed out 29 of the men. They did this by asking each to put one hand in ice water for three minutes. If the water was too unpleasant, the volunteers could remove their hands, but must continue looking into a video camera. The men were also encouraged to put their hands back into the cold water. All the while, a researcher watched and videotaped the ordeal (考验). Another 22 men held one hand in warm water. They were not videotaped.Afterward, the researchers showed each man a series of two food items. They did this 210 times. And before making choices, the men were told to choose the healthier of the two items. When the testing was over, the scientists gave the volunteers a snack. Each man got one of the items he had said that he preferred. Despite being coached to choose healthy foods, the stressed men proved more likely to pick the less healthy.The researchers also performed brain scans of the volunteers. It showed what part of the brain was active as they made their choices. “Our findings indicate that stress affects the decision making,” Maier’s team concluded. And it does this by changing two brain pathways. One affects sensory information, such as taste. The other affects a person’s ability to make decisions such as eating what is good for us.More studies will be needed to confirm the new findings. But the early signs suggest that stress not only makes junk food more ap pealing, but also weakens the brain’s ability to resist eating it.12．How did the scientists mainly get the result?A．By doing experiments.B．By asking questions.C．By conducting surveys.D．By secret observations.13．The cold water used in the experiment may make men feelA．pleasantB．frightenedC．relaxedD．stressed14．Why did the scientists scan the brains of the volunteers?A．They wanted to find the IQ of them.B．They wanted to observe the activities of their brains.C．They wanted to discover the potential disease of them.D．They wanted to know the health conditions of them.15．What does the last paragraph imply?A．The new Swiss study is the final conclusion.B．Stress may increase self-control in eating.C．Stress makes junk food more attractive.D．It is easy for stressed people to resist tasty foods.二、七选五A student’s life is never easy. And it is even more difficult if you will have to complete your study in a foreign land. 16．The following are some basic things you need to do before even seizing that passport and boarding on the plane.●Knowing the country.You shouldn’t bother about researching the country’s hottest tourist spots or historical places, You won’t go there as a tourist, but as a student. 17．Most importantly, read about their laws. Y ou surely don’t want to face legal problems, especially if you’re away from home.●18．Don’t expect that you can graduate abroad without knowing even the basics of the language. Before leaving your home country, take online lessons to at least master some of their words and sentences. This will be useful in living and studying there. Doing this will alsoprepare you in communicating with those who can’t speak English.●Preparing for other needs.Check the conversion(兑换) of your money to their local currency. 19．The Internet or your intended school will be very helpful in finding an apartment and helping you understand local currency.Remember, you’re not only carrying your own reputation but your country’s reputation as well. If you act foolishly, people there might think that all of your countrymen are foolish as well. 20．A．Packing your clothes.B．Studying their language.C．That would surely be a very bad start for your study abroad program.D．Going with their trends will keep it from being too obvious that you’re a foreigner.E.Set up your bank account So you can use it there, get an insurance and find an apartment.F.It’ll be helpful to read the most important points in their history and to read up on their culture.G.A lot of preparations are needed so you can be sure to go back home with a diploma and a bright future waiting for you.三、完形填空The wisdom my 77-year-old father has passed on to me came more through osmosis(潜移) than lectures. My dad’s 21 shines through all my life.Old age hasn’t 22 him, mainly because he doesn’t think almost-80 is old. He had ever trained for a charity 23 across the Hudson River in New York. He wore his custom-fitted diving suit, but he still got so 24 . We warmed him and wrapped him in a sleeping b ag. “Oh, 25 . It isn’t that bad,” he’d say, “I am fine.” He always is. He did26 the Hudson swim a month later.If you ask my father whether or not his life has been hard, he will say he is 27 . He means the kind of happiness that comes from 28 a well-cooked family meal, taking a good long run or growing a perfect tomato. Did I mention that he used to run marathons before his knee replacement surgery? He’s the only one 29 convinced me I could do it, too. “Anyone can run a marathon,”he said, “30 you keep training.”My father was born in 1933. His childhood took a 31 at the beginning of WorldWar II. His father joined the French Army and was 32 by the Germans and spent the war in a prison camp. My dad and his mother and sister were shipped off to New Jersey to live with relatives. His mother 33 from depression, and Dad went to a boarding school in New England from the sixth grade on.

AWhen choosing pearls there are a number of things to consider besides just the quality of the pearls. While there is no right or wrong way to choose pearls, here are a few tips you should consider.Necklace Length-You can buy pearl necklaces in a number of different lengths. Generally speaking, shorter necklaces suit long necks, while long necklaces are nice for smaller necks. The lengths and names areas follows.→Collar-12-13"→Choker-14-16"→Princess-17-19"→Matinee-20-25"→Ppera-26-36"→Rope-37" or longerThe most popular is the Princess length since it is a good length for both long and smaller necks.Pearl Color-The pearl color does not affect the value of the pearl; instead, it is completely in the eye of the beholder(旁观者).Most people buy pearls that best match their skin tone(肤色). People with light skin usually buy white or pink pearls while people with darker skin tones tend to buy black pearls. In America, white pearls are the most popular, while in Asia, silver are favorites.Pearl Sets-When buying pearl jewelry you should consider first if you want an entire set, or just a certain piece. If, for example, you buy the necklace, and then later decide to buy the bracelet/earrings, they may not match as well as if you had bought a set. Even if you buy the same size, and color, the style may not be the same. Some stores will allow you to buy the individual pieces of a set. So if you want to buy the other pieces at a later time, they will still match.21. What's the most popular length for customers?A. 12-13".B. 17-19".C. 20-25".D. 37" or longer.22.

Intrigued by the sight, Chen raised his camera to take a picture of the three — but it was then that he noticed the sleeves of the girl in red blowing in the wind. He approached and touched the girl's sleeves, only to discover there were no arms inside.After returning home and reviewing his photographs, Chen decided he had to find the girl again. Chen finally found the girl one year later. He learned that she touched an exposed electrical wire when she was only 4 and had to have both her arms amputated. It was then that an idea occurred to him — hand in his pictures of Xiang to the World Press Photo Contest, which offers a 10,000 euro （$11,080） top prize. From 2003 to 2013, Chen visited the family and took photos of Xiang every year. He entered the contest every year, but every time he failed to win the top prize. That was until December last year, when his pictures caught the attention of journalists at a photo exhibition. After the photos were published online in June, 2016, they were viewed more than 100 million times and attracted more than 80,000 comments. With the support of the China Social Assistance Foundation, more than 300,000 yuan was donated to Xiang. "She now has more confidence and told me over phone that she wants to open an online store," Chen said.4. Chen Yongheng first met with Xiang Liping when she .A. was taking part in a contestB. was being treated in hospitalC. was traveling with her familyD. had already had her arms amputated5.

She will use the donated money to help others.C. Her photos caught great attention of online viewers.D. She opened an online store together with Chen Yongheng.7. What does the passage mainly talk about？A. A photographer helps a disabled girl by recording her life.B. A photographer won the top prize by his strong will.C. A girl who lost her arms lives a hard life.D. One will be rewarded by helping others.CThe new two-child policy is making job hunting more difficult for women when about 40 percent of them said they were asked whether they planned to have a second child during job interviews, according to a report in Chongqing.China dropped its decades-long one-child policy in October and allowed each family to have two children. The country now has about 270 million married women of childbearing age.This change has put millions of career women in a dilemma between family and career. Employers also face big challenges as more female workers will have two childbearing leaves, seven to eight months altogether. A human resources website conducted a survey among 500 employers and 5,000 job seekers about how the two-child policy affects the job market.Though two thirds of employers said the policy would make no difference to their recruitment（招聘）, the survey showed that more than 70 percent of job seekers believe that bearing a second child will make women less popular in the job market. Forty percent of employers said they will give priority to married women with two children, according to the survey.Lin Xia, 29, quit her job after giving birth to her first child. She is now preparing to return to work. After several inquiries at a job fair, she found that the employers are concerned aboutfuture birth plans. "I thought it would be easier to find a job after giving birth," she was quoted as saying by the website. "I had to answer whether I will have a second child before I could get a chance for a job interview."Liang Siqi, 23, a college graduate, said although employers did not ask her the child question yet, she will not plan to have two children. "It （having two children） will definitely affect my career and personal life, so I will have only one," she said.Zhou Jiansong, who is in charge of human resources at a large private high-tech group in Chongqing, said the company will discuss birth issues with interviewees in order to make a better work plans. "We fully respect a women's right to bear a child or two," he said. "But you don't want them to go on a childbearing leave soon after they join your company." The experts expect more labor dispute cases concerning childbearing leave rights when bearing a second child in future.8. As for the influence of the new policy on working women, which of the following is TRUE？A. They will find it more difficult to ask for a leave in a companyB. Most of them will be forced to choose to have two childrenC. Many of them will stay at home instead of working outsideD. Those who have two children may find it easier to get a job9. In the opinion of Zhou Jiansong, what will employers probably do when interviewing women interviewees？A. They will pay no attention to women’s right to have a child or twoB. They will let women interviewees make a future planC. They may hope to know more about women interviewees’ childbearing planD. They may expect more labor debate c ases about interviewees’ second-child plan.10. What can we infer from the report in the passage？A. All the women surveyed in the passage are marriedB. The women bearing a second child get the same chance as before to get a jobC. About 70 percent of the women were asked whether they planned to have a second child.D. Bearing a second child affects the women’s career to some degree.11. What is the writer’s attitude towards the new two-child policy？A. PositiveB. NeutralC. IndifferentD. CriticalDWe are often unable to pay close attention to what we hear. Just like when we try to grab a sponge（海绵） that is full of water, some water will run out of it. But sometimes we try to remember everything a speaker says and try to take in a speaker’s every word as if every word was equally important. We try to remember all the names, all the dates, and all the places. In the process we often miss the speaker’s main point.Erik Waldman works at a design company. Knowing he had never been good at budgeting his money, he was determined to begin thinking about his economic future. When his employer circulated an e-mail announcing a financial planning workshop（研讨会）, Erik signed up right away.The first session was about retirement planning. Simone Fisher, the lecturer, explained that 7 of 10 Americans between the ages of 22 and 35 do not have a regular savings plan. Erik wrote down every number Simone mentioned."If you want to have a retirement income equal to 75 percent of your current salary," Simone continued, "you will need to save at least of 6 percent of your present earnings, taking into account future inflation rates（通货膨胀率）. In the meantime, I want to stress that the most important thing is to start saving now."Erik recorded all the statistics Simone used. When she opened the floor（自由发言） for question, Erik raised his hand and said, "I have two question. When is the best time to start saving for retirement？ And how can I figure out my savings target if I don’t know what inflation rates will be in the future？"This is a typical example of losing the speaker’s point by concentrat ing on details. Erik had fixed his mind on remembering all the statistics in Simone’s presentation, but he blocked out the man message.
