21．（6分）Experience around food is about the place, the time and the people, and “the best meal” can be found in a fine dining restaurant or a crowded street market. How can you recreate that special moment influenced by place and time? Travel is becoming the most popular reason to visit many places around the world. Here are the places that consistently excite the senses.
South of France
Markets with fresh fruits and vegetables and butcher shops are abundant. Regional wines are excellent．And freshly baked French bread with French butter is what memories are made of. Take a chair in an ancient walled city for a meal with a view that you will never forget．
Barcelona
This bustling city filled with unique buildings is a city for lovers of history, architecture and food. Kiosko Universal, a counter restaurant at one corner of the market, prepares some of the simplest and best food we’ve ever had. Give yourself a week to explore and see everything the city offers. The city is not to be missed．Italy
It’s hard to choose one place or city to visit. Some of our favorite places include the coastal regions on the Adriatic and Tuscany. Friuli stole our hearts last year with its many unique wines, small artisan food produces, and influences from neighboring countries like Austria and Germany．
Mexico City
From unbelievable food markets and casual street stands, Mexico City has become the place to travel for the food lovers. If you want to eat locally, order a Hurache，a street food specialty. All you will need is a local microbrew or Mezcal（龙舌兰酒）to wash it down．
1、What is Kiosko Universal?
A．A market. B．A butcher shop.
C．A restaurant. D．A street stand.
2、What do you need to help swallow Hurache when eating it?
A．Bread. B．Alcohol.
C．Juice. D．Fruit.
3、What do the four places have in common?
A．They are tourist attractions. B．They have ancient buildings. C．They lie in Europe. D．They are noted for tasty food 22．（8分）Before I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.
I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.
The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.
In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to
make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.
1、What did the author find out after studying psychology?
A．Only good jokes make people laugh
B．Many factors lead to people laughing.
C．Funny things can make people laugh
D．Laughter can make people healthy.
2、Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?
A．They played a trick on the pedestrians.
B．The pedestrians behaved in a funny way.
C．They could feel the pedes trians’ happiness.
D．Their emotion was approved of by the show.
3、What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean?
A．Annoy B．Blame
C．Look down on D．Make up to
23．（8分）The key to getting people to work together effectively could be giving them the freedom to choose their collaborators (合作者) and the comfort of working with established contacts, new research suggests.
In the study, David Melamed, an assistant professor of sociology at the Ohio State University and lead author of the study, and his co-authors found participants through the Amazon Mechanical Turk website — a service that allows researchers to hire people from around the world for a variety of purposes. For this study, all participants were from the United States.
Those who agreed to participate played online games in which each player started out with 1,000 monetary units that translated to $1 in real money they could pocket. If one player agreed to pay another player 50 monetary units, that second person would actually acquire 100 units. Each of the 16-round games included about 25 participants, some of whom participated in multiple games. In all, 810 people participated in the research.
Some of the games included random networks, where certain people could interact. Others included clustered (群集的) networks, in which a small group had multiple connections — an arrangement that was designed to mimic (模拟) real life, where
humans often run their lives in packs. And the networks were either static (静态的) or dynamic (动态的). In static networks, a player could interact only with the appointed partners. In dynamic networks, participants could cut their ties with another player and form new connections. Furthermore, some of the games included reputation information. Participants were labeled based on their history of willingness to share money. The idea was to test whether those known to collaborate were favored by other players based on reputation — a factor shown in previous research to play a significant role in whether a person is likely to partner with another.
Melamed and his research partners were surprised to find that whether people are likely to partner with others had nothing to do with reputation in this study. The findings might have departed from previous studies because of the difference in size and study design, he said, explaining that much of the previous work in this area was conducted in groups of 100 or fewer and mostly involved student subjects. The Turk network used for the new study has been shown to be representative of the U.S. population in terms of age, race and other factors and the introduced players had no previous connections.
Cooperation rates overall were high — and highest when the participants were cooperating in clusters and had the ability to drop a partner in fa vor of another. “What really seems to matter is the ability to change the structure of a network,” Melamed said. “And the patterns of relationships also made a difference. Those in a known cluster with multiple connections cooperated more.”
1、What did David Melamed and his partners do for their study?
A．They hired 810 people globally.
B．They gave each participant $1,000.
C．They designed 16-round online games.
D．They asked each participant to take part in only one game.
2、Compared with previous research, the new study found that _____.
A．reputation played no role in cooperation
B．student subjects were more likely to partner with others
C．players having connections before were more cooperative
D．cooperation rates were influenced by age, race and other factors
3、It can be inferred that the purpose of the study led by David Melamed is to discover
_____.
A．how to change the patterns of relationships
B．what leads people to collaborate most willingly
C．what kind of person is the most popular in a team
D．whether it’s proper to drop a partner in favor of another
24．（8分）With more large solar farms being developed in the sunny southwestern United States, researchers and conservationists alike are beginning to notice surprising environmental effects. While solar energy is known for its positive environmental impacts, officials at the National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory have come to recognize one of its significant downsides: Some specks of birds that live close to large solar plants (太阳能板) are dying off, including endangered birds.
A recent federal investigation recovered 233 birds that had been killed as a direct result of solar plants. Researchers believe that some of the affected birds have mistaken the large, reflective areas of the solar panels for bodies of water. This is a phenomenon referred to by scientists as “lake effect.” The birds are drawn to what they assume to be water. They aim for the area and slam into the panels with great force. It is thought that the insects that birds cat fal l victim to “lake effect” as well, leading the birds into the panels.
Researchers figure that between 1,000 and 28,000 birds are killed as a result of harvesting solar energy. The number of birds affected by wind farming is much greater, ranging from 140,000 to 328,000. Coal-fired electricity has the largest negative effect on birds, killing nearly 8 million a year. These numbers make solar farming seem like the best option. However, conservationists are quick to point out that areas where solar is expected to boom between 2015 and 2020 are home to some of the rarest birds in the United States. This could put specific bird species at risk of extinction.
There exists a state order in California that 20 percent of all electricity of all energy sold should be renewable by the year 2017. This has been one driving force behind the rapid development of huge solar farms. The industry, which is expected to boom as a result of this change to renewable energy, is facing newly filed lawsuits (起诉) by conservationist groups. These lawsuits could slow down the approval process for the planned solar development across the Southwest.
1、What can we infer from paragraph 1?
A．Solar farms require a long development period.
B．Most people would be shocked by the size of solar farms.
C．Solar energy equipment looks strange to most people.
D．Most people think that solar energy is very beneficial.
2、The underlined word “slam” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to . A．dash B．break
C．move D．slide
3、Which of the following bes t reflects the author’s viewpoint?
A．Using solar farms is the most practical way to create energy.
B．More birds are endangered by solar farms than wind farming.
C．Solar farms may not be as friendly to the environment as expected.
D．Ways should be found to reduce “lake effect” caused by solar farms.
25．（10分）Free, Official Sources to Find Unclaimed Money
Does the government owe you money? There might be unclaimed funds or property waiting for you from savings or checking accounts, wages and pensions, tax refunds(退款), life insurance policies, and a lot more. Companies may offer to find this money for a fee. And scammers may try to trick you with fake promises of money from the government. But you can find your unclaimed money yourself for free. Check out USA Gov’s list of official sources to get started:
•Search for unclaimed money and property in every state where you have lived.
You can conduct a multi-state search, and keep an eye out at state fairs and even malls, where state treasurers(ST) and other officials hold public awareness events.
•Check for unclaimed funds from bank failures or unclaimed deposits from credit union closures.
Did you have money in a checking or savings account at a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured financial institution? If the financial institution is closed, you can search the FDIC database(数据库)and you will make it. FDIC has
thousands of their banks across the country and deserves your trust.
•Search for unclaimed back wages, pension m oney, or life insurance funds.
Are you owed unpaid wages from your current employer(CP) or a past
employer(PP)? Check the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division’s records to see if you have money waiting to be claimed. You also may be owed a pension if a company you worked for went out of business or ended a defined plan.
1、Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

第二节书面表达（满分25分）
29、Dear Frank，
It's really exciting to know that you'll visit Kunming to explore Chinese culture. I'm writing to provide you with some relevant information you asked for in your letter.
Located in the center of the city, the Green Lake Hotel is a wonderful choice for your accommodation. As the name suggests, it's within easy reach of the Green Lake Park, a popular place for natives. You can taste various delicious traditional snacks in and around the park. After that, Yunnan University, which is just opposite the park, can be your next destination. Wandering around the quiet campus with old buildings offers you an opportunity to refresh yourself. In addition, Yunnan Nationalities Village and West Mountain are equally worth a visit.
Remember to take your camera to take pictures and sun cream to protect yourself from the sunrays. Looking forward to meeting you in Kunming!
Yours，
Li Hua。
