Bertha von Suttner received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905—she
was the first woman to receive it, and also the inspiration for the
creation of the Nobel Prize.
She met Alfred Nobel, a rich millionaire, by answering his newspaper ad for a secretary. Although she only worked for him for a few weeks, she remained good friends with Alfred Nobel for the next 20 years. When she became involved in the peace movement in Europe, she promised to keep Nobel informed of its progress. When Alfred Nobel died in 1896, his will included the establishment of a peace prize, thanks to Bertha von Suttner’s influence.
Bertha von Suttner was born in an aristocratic (贵族) military family, but she spent the second half of her life working for peace. She wrote books, attended peace conferences, gave lectures and helped organize peace societies in Austria, Germany and Hungary, as well as the International Peace Bureau in Switzerland. Her novel Lay Down your Arms, was one of the most influential anti-war books of all time, and helped to make her a leader of the peace movement in Europe. Its end to war theme was both the ambition and the most important goal in the life of this great woman.
Bertha von Suttner worked so hard for peace because she believed that a terrible war would break out in Europe if nations didn’t work hard to establish lasting peace institutions. She made many major achievements for a more peaceful world, but two months after she died, World War I broke out. A hundred years after she won the Nobel Peace Prize, nations still seem to view war as a choice to work out their problems. But like Bertha von Suttner did, many today are working hard around the world to help strengthen peace institutions and spread the idea that it’s time to put an end to war.
28. Which of the following is true about Bertha von Suttner?
A. She worked for Alfred Nobel for 20 years.
B. She helped Alfred Nobel draw up his will.
C. She persuaded Alfred Nobel to join the peace movement.
D. She inspired Alfred Nobel to establish the Nobel Peace Prize.
29. Paragraph 3 is mainly about Bertha von Suttner’s _____________.
A. efforts and contributions to the peace movement
B. family background and work experiences
C. writing career and life experiences
D. ambition and goals in life
30. What do we know about Lay Doun Your Arms?
A. It was based on a true story.
B. It recorded Bertha von Suttner’s daily life.
C. It was about an aristocratic military family.
D. It showed Bertha von Suttner’s wish for peace.
31. What can we infer about Bertha von Suttner from the last paragraph?
A. Her fight for peace is still shared by many.
B. She failed to found peace institutions.
C. She successfully predicted a war.
D. She lost her life in World War I.
D
In recent years, Japan has had many advanced and unusual toilets, including some with self-acting lids and self-warming seats. Now Tokyo is trying something completely new—public toilets with see-through walls.
To be fair, the walls of the new public toilets aren’t always transparent (透明的). They are made of a sp ecial kind of “smart glass”. When someone enters the toilet and locks the door, the
glass becomes dark—it clouds over so that no one can see in. When the door is unlocked, the glass clears up.
Mr. Ban, the designer, points out the smart glass he chose for the walls has already been used in office buildings, where privacy is needed from time to time. The secret to the glass is that the flow of electricity can change the way the crystals in the glass line up, which changes the glass between dark and transparent.
The new toilets have been built in some parks in Tokyo. Because the restrooms are lit up at night, they help provide light for the parks where they are located. Mr. Ban says the restrooms are like beautiful lanterns.
So far, many people have tried the new restrooms. Some people are excited to use the unusual ones. Others worry that the walls might not work properly one day, and could fail to protect them when they’re using the toilets. The common complaint in Japan is that public restrooms are often short of soaps. Some people say they would rather have soaps than fashionable new restrooms.
Mr. Ban’s toilets are just one of several new public toilet designs that will be put into use across Tokyo in the coming months as part of the Tokyo Toilet project. A group called the Nippon Foundation asked some famous designers to come up with new designs to improve the public restrooms in Tokyo and prepare for the coming Olympics.
32. What is special about the new public toilets in Tokyo?
A. They have powerful lids and seats.
B. Their walls can smartly turn clear or dark.
C. They are made of some see-through plastic.
D. Their doors can be locked with self-acting controls.
33. What can be learned about the glass from the designer’s words in Paragraph 3?
A. It has been widely used in public buildings.
B. It is specially designed for young workers.
C. It can produce beautiful colors at night.
D. It is an electrically-controlled product.
34. What do the public generally consider the new toilets?
A. They hold different opinions on them.
B. They think the toilets are easily damaged.
C. They praise the fashionable design of them.
D. They care more about the number of clean toilets
35. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Japan is preparing itself for the coming Olympics
B. Japan is replacing its old toilets with smart ones
C. Japan tries out see-through public toilets
D. Japan’s toilet problem has been solved
第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的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。

If you are like millions of people around the world, the New Year brings with it new goals. But you get busy. Yet, your goal remains important. __36___
♦ Identify specific goals.
As you identify your goals, be specific. If a goal is too general, it may be hard to pursue, let alone achieve it. ___37___ That's a fine idea. Yet psychologists might say as a goal, it is too general. To make the goal more specific, you could sign up for a regular exercise class.
♦___38___
Experts say writing down your goals is important. It gets the goals out of your brain and into the real world. Some psychologists suggest that writing a goal on paper is better than typing it on a device or saying it into your phone. Your brain receives information differently when it comes from handwriting. Writing has another benefit: You can post your goals somewhere as a reminder.
♦ Break down big goals into small ones.
__39___ Some can be quite big. And for those bigger goals, experts suggest breaking them down into smaller ones. Say you want to work for yourself. You decide to start your own company that supplies food for special events. That is a very big goal. But it is made up of many smaller goals. So, identify them, write them down and set for yourself time limits.
♦Tell a friend.
Telling someone your goals is also helpful. If someone else knows about your goals, you are held responsible for any progress or lack of progress. You feel the pressure of your friend's opinion of you. That can be a big pressure! ___40___
A. Write your goals down.
B. Not all goals are created equal.
C. Keep your life goals as a reminder.
D. Say your goal is to get in better physical shape.
E. You are bound to achieve your goals if you are determined.
F. So how can we find time to work on these larger life goals?
G. Many people do not want to let others down, especially friends and family.

Wearing different colors
You might think that whether you choose a blue shirt or a yellow one to wear to work or college makes no difference to your day and those around you. However, an increasing number of experts argue that the colors we choose affect our mood, our career prospects（前景）and even our health.
The power of color has been used for centuries and we should be making the most of it in our lives. Color affects us to a greater degree than most of us realize. It is used increasingly by psychologists and therapists for influencing mood and state of mind, and for various types of treatments when we are ill. Some people even believe that the blind can benefit from the “vibration”（震动）that color gives off.
Companies use color to great effect to encourage us to buy their products. For example,
purple is seen as creative and mixes well with red, to show that a company has ideas and the power to make them happen. Orange and blue are also recommended colors for companies to use, because orange is the color of communication and blue suggests safety and security. So this could be a particularly good combination. Companies have found certain colors “speak” to specific age groups. They often use red to attract younger people to their products, for example, as it is vibrant and more youthful than colors like gold and navy, which older customers seem to prefer.
Wearing different colors can affect how you feel and how others react to you, so it is important to consider this when deciding what to wear in the morning. If you want people to take you seriously, then wearing navy blue or black is good. Blue would also be helpful for an interview or oral examination because it relaxes you and makes you feel calm. Red gets you noticed by everyone and makes you, the wearer,feel energetic, but be careful, as it can raise your pulse rate and not everyone wants this effect.
So think carefully before you leave the house. The colors you choose are a wonderful tool. Are you making the right impression on yourself and on others?

Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm Li Hua, an exchange student from China during this summer vacation. I'm delighted to learn that volunteer students are wanted for a Chinese painting exhibition to be held in the local art gallery. Now I’m writing to apply for the position.
The reasons for my application are as follows. First of all, having been exposed to foreign teachers since a young age, I can communicate freely with others in English. What’s more, years of being monitor makes me a brilliant organizer, which will help a lot to keep the exhibition in order. The most important factor is that my related knowledge will undoubtedly help the audience learn more about the unique Chinese art form.
All in all, my sense of responsibility will make me a qualified volunteer. I'd appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration and give me a chance
Yours,
