The reason why I want to be a writer is that writing gives me the p ower to create worlds and people out of nothing. We can crea te a picture in a few minutes with our minds. We have the pow er to influence others, even people we’ve never met!I have always wondered if it is the same thing that drives me, as a writer, as what drives video game creators or directors. We are all creating something out of nothing. The thing that is so amazing about writers is that we create something out of t ools that don’t cost more than a dollar (a piece of paper and a pencil)．For writers it is all in our head. Our wonderful brain i s our tool.Some people have this simple way of writing that can sweep us off our feet. Those who have this gift often do not see the b eauty in it. It is sad really. Writing is such a basic element(元素)in our society that many take advantages of it and don’t re alize its greatness. It takes someone from the inside to unders tand and admire the art of putting words together to form a se ntence; it sounds so simple and yet there is so much more to i t than meets the eye.Being a writer is a wonderful thing—something that is gifted to all of us who have the ability to for m sentences on paper. Being a good writer or even great writ er is the hard part. Oh! And don’t even get me started on bein g a published writer.28．Why do most people think “I” to be strange when hearing “I want to be a writer” ?A．Because they consider writing as a difficulty.B．Because writing isn’t popular with the locals. C．Because writers are very crazy and strange. D．Because people can’t make money by writing.29．For the writer, what is the most important tool for writing? A．A pencil. B．Wonderful brain. C．A piece of paper. D．A computer.30．In which part of a website may the passage appear? A．Entertainment. B．Hobby. C．Life. D．Edu cation.31．Which is the best possible title of the passage? A．Being a writer B．A strange person C．A cheap career D．Our wonderful brainDWhile both Europe and the United States of America are cons idered the Western world, it’s good to know there are some dif ferences in culture. If you are considering moving to a Europe an country, you will find the information below helpful as you p lan your move.One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(理解，认为) time and space. For example, a house in the United State s that is 200 years old would be considered ancient. This is probably because America is a fairly young country. However, i n Europe, something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2，000 years old. However, perception of distance seems to be t he opposite. While Europeans would consider 100 kilometers a long way to drive, Americans would not think twice. This cou ld be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily p opulated. In fact, the United States is over twice the size of Eu rope.Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe an d the United States. American automobiles usually have auto matic transmissions(自动变速器) while European cars generally have manual gears(手动变速器)．European automobiles are smaller and more roundshap ed, while American cars are larger and more squareshaped.T rucks and limousines(豪华轿车) are vehicles that Americans enjoy. In Europe, however, th ese types of vehicles are hardly seen, as they prefer smaller c ars due to parking_and_traffic_congestion．The view of education is another cultural difference between t he European countries and the United States. In America, par ents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college. Most schools and universitie s in Europe, however, are free of tuition. In fact, children are e xpected to attend college there.32．The author wrote the first paragraph mainly to__________．A．tell the differences between Europe and America B．advise people to travel to Europe and America C．introduce the topic of this passage to the readers D．persuade people to live in a European country 33．Which of the following shows the Americans’ perception of time?A．An ancient house has a history of 200 years.B．Europe has been at least 2，000 years old.C．A hundred kilometers is a long way to drive.D．It is proper to drive a distance of 100 kilometers. 34．The underlined phrase “parking and traffic congestion” in Paragraph 3 means “__________”．A．people like parking their cars on the roadB．the cars go through the parks now and thenC．it is easy to park and drive on the highwayD．parking is not easy and the traffic is heavy35．It can be concluded from the last paragraph that________．A．Americans are richer than EuropeansB．Americans work harder than EuropeansC．the children in Europe needn’t go to schoolD．it costs Americans a lot of money to go to college第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

And each of us, if we live long enough, experiences the loss of persons we loved. Children ages eight through ten were asked what they thought about death,and these are some of their answers:“When you d ie,God takes care of you like your mother did. When you were alive,only God doesn’t yell at you all the time.’’“When you die,they bury you in the ground and your soul goes to heaven,but your body can’t go to heaven because it’s too crowded there already.”“Only the good people go to heaven. The other people go where it’s hot all the time like in Florida. ”“Doctors help you so you won’t die until you pay their bills.”I’ve observed that the loss of a loved one can be one of the most difficult things we humans can face. I’ve known friends of sick and dying people to sit by a bedside or in a hospital room for hours,even days, at a time. I’ve seen food in homes of people who are dying overflow from kitchen to dining room—food brought by comforting friends from church and con cerned neighbours. And I’ve observed friends just listen for as long as it takes.When U.S. Congressman Sam Rayburn discovered that he was ill,he announced to the House of Representatives he was going home to Texas for medical tests. Some wondered why he did not stay in Washington where there were excellent medical facilities. His answer was a beautiful tribute to friendship:”Bonham is a place where people know it when you’re sick,and where they care when you die. ”No one wants to go through difficult times alone.

True Friendship Lasts Forever.D . Good Friends Are Good Medicine.3. 阅读理解You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain.I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a street lamp,” he said.The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 metres off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.（1）What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph 2?A . His creation was inspired by an experience.B . It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C . Street lamps are protected by canopies.D . He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.（2）Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?A . motor→canopy→sensorsB . sensors→motor→canopyC . motor→sensors→canopyD . canopy→motor→sensors（3）What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?A . Its moving speed.B . Its appearance.C . Its installation.D . Its safety.（4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A . The designer will open a company to promote his product.B . The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.C . The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D . The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.4. 阅读理解Generations of children grew up reading comic books secretly, hiding out from parents and teachers who saw them as a waste of time and a risk to young minds. Comics are now gaining a new respectability at school. That is thanks to an increasingly popular and creative programme, often aimed at struggling readers, that encourages children to plot, write and draw comic books, in many cases using themes from their own lives.The Comic Book Project was started in 2001 by Michael Bitz at an elementary school in Queens. Since its creation, the programme, which is mainly conducted after school, has spread to more than 850 schools across the country. It has gotten a big push from the craze among adolescents for comic book clubs and for Manga, a widly popular variety of comic originating in Japan.The point is not to drop a comic book on a child’s desk and say “read this”. Rather, the workshops give groups of students the opportunity to collaborate on often complex stories and charac-ters that they then revise,publish and share with others in their communities.Teachers are finding it easier to teach writing, grammar and punctuation with material that students are fully invested in. And it turns out that comic books have other built-in advantages. The pairing of visual and written plotlines that they rely on appear to be especially helpful to struggling readers. No one is suggesting that comic books should substitute for traditional books or for standard reading and composition lessons. Teachers who would once have dismissed comics out of hand are learning to exploit a style that clearly has a powerful hold on young minds. They are using what works.（1）Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A . Japanese Comic Books.B . Comic Books in the Classroom.C . Reading Efficiently.D . A Current Craze.（2）The main purpose of the Comic Book Project is to .A . develop the cooperation among adolescentsB . make sure that students live a rich and colourful life after schoolC . help students who have some difficulty in readingD . popularize a new method of teaching （3）It can be inferred that .A . comic books were first used in JapaneseschoolsB . parents have different opinions about their children reading comic booksC . more and more teachers will realize the advan-tages of comic booksD . comic books will be allowed to enter all the schools in the country二、任务型阅读5. 任务型阅读Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes. One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group.________Let’s look at som e different examples of body painting.________Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony takes place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive.________To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults.One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men.________Then they add white and black circles and lines. Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth, which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful.________As you travel, enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa.A.Red is the common color in body painting because it often represents health and long life.B.Other marks are used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war.C.The ceremony expresses hope for rain.D.The Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave.E.The women then decide which man they like best.F.The men pretend to fight each other.G.The men paint their faces yellow and red.三、完形填空6. 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them.

Challenges Are EverywhereC. Face Your Challenges BravelyD. You Are Loved Wherever You AreCIt was simply laziness that led me to fall in love with a blackbird. I’d not got round to harvesting all my grapes, and as I watched them rot, I felt a pain at how terrible a gardener I’d become. Fruit left on the vine too long may harbour diseases. I’d look out at plenty of bunches slowly turning into one dark, weak mass and say, "Tomorrow. I’ll do it tomorrow."Then I saw a blackbird settle on my outdoor table and fly to pluck (摘)a grape and return to the table to eat it. This task was repeated day after day.I don’t know why this took me by surprise. Blackbirds like all the fruits once they’re soft enough to eat. Still, I felt delighted and relieved.There are lists upon lists of plants that are good for birds, whether because they attract insects, or because they are rich in berries(浆果) or nuts. There is a theory that fruits that are similar in colour to our native types are more desirable to birds, so white fruit will not be as favoured as red or orange. However, anyone who has grown dogwood(梾木) will know that once those yellow leaves drop to expose deep red stems decorated with white berries, the birds begin to eat them. They are able to learn new tricks.If you don’t have spac e for bigger-berried trees, make attractive bird feeders in large pots that are no longer needed for summer bedding or vegetables. To give small birds some protection, tie together strong stems to form loose cages. Into these bring seed heads, using the stems to hold them in place. Sunflower heads, for example, can be put in. Position the pots close to the house, and you can watch them quietly from indoors.30.How did the author feel when he watched the grapes rot on the vine?A. Horrible.B. Guilty.C. Helpless.D. Surprised.31.What can be inferred about dogwood according to the text?A. It is a non-native plant.B. It bears hard nuts.C. The color of its fruit is red.D. Its fruit is delicious to eat.32.Why does the author suggest making loose cages with stems?A. To watch birds more easily.B. To protect some small birds.C. To stop stems growing wildly.D. To prevent stems taking up too much room.DAs far as children’s museums go, new and exciting exhib its are always on the list to keep kids entertained and intrigued. But how to keep the kids interacting while still dealing with real life issues and enabling them to step into the footsteps of those with an entirely different view from their own? Enter th e Israeli Children’s Museum in Holon. The museum offers a thoughtful display of rotating(旋转的) exhibits and is home to three permanent exhibits. The exhibits —Invitation to Silence, Dialogue with Time, and Dialogue in the Dark —are unlike most any other experiences you’ll find in any typical children’s museum.Invitation to Silence is an exhibit that enables participants to understand what it is like to live in the world of those who are hearing-impaired. The guides are deaf or hearing-impaired themselves and take participants on a 75-minute active journey, walking them through an experience of alternative communication, where non-spoken languages —"hearing with one’s eyes", sign languages and body languages are the only options.Dialogue with Time is a one-of-a-kind exhibit guided by those 70 years old and older. It helps visitors to have the concept of old age and aging, through an intergenerational dialogue of experiences and games so that they can learn what it is truly like to age in our society as a whole.Dialogue in the Dark is guided by the blind and those who are vision-impaired. The 75-minute tour is in complete darkness, tracking interpersonal and group dialogue settings that reassess the stereotypes(刻板印象) associated with being blind.All three exhibits offer children and adults valuable social lessons and a peek into worlds that are otherwise hard to explain. These exhibits can give participants new views, gratitude, and empathy for the disabled while also championing their efforts in the challenges of everyday life, by giving power and admiration to each group.33.The purpose of the text is mainly to _____.A. present unique exhibits on display for childrenB. talk about creative ways to make museums livelyC. attract visitors to a museum for students in HolonD. introduce a museum for visitors to experience disability34. How can visitors communicate with the guide in Invitation to Silence?A. By making a phone call.B. By using body languages.C. By talking in a low voice.D. By writing on a piece of paper.35. Dialogue in the Dark helps visitors learn about problems with _____.A. being deafB. being blindC. being dumbD. being too old第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Note that there is one word more than you need.One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshopusing the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor（叛徒）. And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were (41)_______ to him. He made a bad decision, they said—at least as it was presented by Shakespeare—to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was (42)_______ hissuperior. “You have to endeavor,” the executives said, “our po licy is to obey the chain of (43)_______.”During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been (44)_______ Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are (45)_______ Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level (46)_______ into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as (47)_______ lessons. In Julius Caesar , sly provocation（狡诈的挑唆）of Brutus to take up (48)_______ against was a basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organism.Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes, contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Ba ttle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power. Instead, they (49)_______ the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on C aesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.Many of the participants pointed to very specific (50)_______ in the play that they felt related Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving as a business when and how do you resist the boss?Across the rich world, well-educated people increasingly work longer than the less-skilled. Some 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the workforce, compared with 32% of men with only a high-school certificate. This gap is part of a deepening (51)_______ between the well-education well-off and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while (52)_______ those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individual and society, are profound.The world is facing as astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity (53)_______ into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded manyobservers that this shift will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling ranks of pensioners will create government (54)_______ problems.But the notion of a sharp division between the working young and the idle old misses a new trend, the growing gap between the skilled and the unskilled. Employment rates are falling among younger unskilled people, whereas older skilled folk are working longer. The divide is most extreme in America, where well-educated baby-boomers are (55)_______retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of the workforce.Policy is (56)_______ responsible. Even the better-off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to reap rich (57)_______ into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding generation. Technological change may well reinforce that shift: the skills that complement computers, from management know how to creativity. Do not (58)_______ decline with age.The trend will benefit not just fortunate older people but also, in some ways, society as a whole. Growth will show less than expected; government budgets will be in better (59)_______, as higher earners pay taxes for longer. Rich countries with lots of well-educated older people will find the burden of aging easier to (60)_______ than places like India, where half of all 50-64-year-olds did not complete primary education.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Macao Special Administrative Region is standing at a critical juncture in 61.____ from a gaming hub into a world-leading tourism and leisure center with a diversified economy, a senior Macao official said at a meeting with deputies to the National People's Congress on Thursday.It is a major test for the SAR government to act proactively before the 62.____ industry hits an inflection point, and Macao must chart a careful course at this critical time, said Li Gang, director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Macao at a meeting with Macao NPC deputies. "A midterm 63.____ of the current development of the gaming industry scheduled this year is expected to build 64.____among society on how to meet the challenge," Li said.The latest data from the SAR's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau shows that Macao's gross gaming revenue 65.____in February to 19.5 billion patacas ($2.45 billion), its deepest ever year-on-year decline.Li said he believes that the downward pressure on the mainland economy has 66.____ a significant decline of customers to VIP rooms, which is the major cause of the recent 67.____ revenue(营业收入) for gaming houses. The68.____ against corruption is just part of the problem, Li said. "We noticed that some of the casinos are not delivering their69.____ to diversify their business and provide more services for retailing, conferencing and exhibitions," Li said.The review is not about reissuing the existing gambling licenses, due in 2020, said Lionel Leong Vai Tac, Macao's secretary for economy and finance.

English B. Portuguese C. Spanish D. Mandarin74.A. at the cost of B. for the sake of C. in the interest of D. on account of75.A. Nevertheless B. Nonetheless C. Therefore D. insteadSection BDirections:Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)In California, the guidelines for how to teach science are changing.It is one of a number of states that have in recent years adopted what are called “Next Generation Science Standards”--goals for each grade are to make science more experiential(体验式的) and relevant.State education officials then gathered science teachers and more than 3,000 public comments about how to translate those goals into lessons.The state education board recently approved a science “curriculum framework” that came out of that field research. While the standards state key principles and what students should know by the end of each grade, the framework, officials says, is the "how".“The aim is prepare students graduating from high school to be critical users of information and capable problem-solvers,” the framework states in its introduction.It calls for students to regularly engage in hands-on science and not just memorize information to simply put to use.“In the old days, students were in the back, teachers sat in the front,” said Bryan Boyd, a former science teacher who consults on science programming for the State education department. The students, he said, “weren’t scientists and couldn’t apply what they learned ”.Now instead of teachers presenting pictures or models, students are led to come up with their own. One potential lesson guide asks kindergartners to brainstorm ways to save water or paper. The teacher can then tell them how their idea s relate to the key environmentalist ideas of “reduce, reuse and recycle". Then students can draw the solutions they up with and choose from those words to label them.Over the course of a student's schooling, the framework says, students' understanding of science should grow from noticing “visible phenomena” in the early grades to understanding bigger systems later on in elementary school. In middle school, they should get to know the microscopic world. In high school, it is the subatomic (亚原子的).Lessons build on one another. In kindergarten, students learn about what happens when objects are pushed or pulled. In third grade they learn that these things are forces and that they can interact in other ways, as they can see on the playground when they kick balls, push swings or land after coming down slides.After fifth grade, districts have different choices for how they can order the science curriculum. They can choose the separation of scientific disciplines(科目) or multiple disciplines at once. As clearly separate courses for a long time, chemistry, earth science, biology and physics actually can be taught together.In an integrated (综合的) middle school curriculum, sixth-graders would learn about water, weather, climate change, cells, reproduction and heat. Seventh grade would cover rock cycles, plate tectonics （板块构造论）, natural disasters photosynthesis （光合作用）and atoms.in eighth grade, students would explore the universe, resource consumption, evolution, forces, energy and gravity.The state will soon do a trail run of new science tests connected to the standard. And then the test will be carried out officially, and students will receive their scores.76. Which of the following is TRUE about the science “curriculum framework”?A. It states key principles and what students should know by the end of each grade.B. It asks students to memorize many theories and apply them.C. It encourages students to decide what they want to Learn in each grade.D. It aims to develop students' critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.77. According to Bry Boyd, students in the old days____.A. had few hands-on experiencesB. were really active in science classC. did not want to become scientistsD. were often led to come up with their own solutions78.According to the framework____A. it's students, not teachers, who should lead lessonsB. students should learn about scientific phenomena by observing and discussing themC. students Can learn about different scientific disciplines at the same timeD. students can choose how they want to study science after fifth grade(B)Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in, involves the use of a decision worksheet．Psychologists who study optimization(最佳化)compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are．Advocates of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions．Although there are several variations on the exact format(格式)that worksheets can take, they are ail similar in their essential aspects．Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem．Next, the related considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance．A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together.The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision．Since most important problems are multifaceted(多方面的),there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages．One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships．A realistic example for many college students is the question “What will I do after graduation?” A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year. A decision-making worksheet begins with a clear statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones．Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to “What will I do after graduation that will lead to successful career?”79. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Research on how people make decisions.B. Difference between long-range and short-range decision-making.C. A tool to assist in making complex decisions.D. A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions.80. Of the following steps, which occurs before the three other steps in making a decision worksheet?A. Writing down all possible solutions.B. Listing the consequences of each solution.C. Calculating a numerical summary of each solution.D. Deciding which consequences are most important.81. According to decision-making worksheet theory, an optimal decision is defined as one that ________.A. has the fewest variables to considerB. uses the most decision worksheetsC. has the most points assigned to itD. is agreed to by the greatest number of people82. The author states that “On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once” in the last paragraph to explain that ________.A. most decisions involve seven stepsB. human mental capacity has limitationsC. some people have difficulty making minor as well as major decisionsD. people can keep more than seven ideas in their minds with practiceCIt is generally well known that in a number of particularly dangerous parts of the world, for example the Middle East and the Indian／Pakistan border region, there are countries which either possess, or have the technology to produce, nuclear weapons. It is also worth remembering, however, that the country which possesses more nuclear weapons than any other, the United States, is the only power ever to have used nuclear weapons against people.Nuclear weapons were first developed in the United States during the Second World War, to be used against Germany. However by the time the first bombs were ready for use, the war with Germany had ended and, as a result, the decision was made to use the weapons against Japan instead. Hiroshima and Nagasaki have suffered the consequence of this decision to the present day.The real reasons why bombs were dropped on two heavily-populated cities are no t altogether clear. A number of people in 1944 and early 1945 argued that the use of nuclear weapons world be unnecessary, since American Intelligence was aware that some of the most powerful and influential people in Japan had already realized that the war was lost, and wanted to negotiate a Japanese surrender. It was also argued that, since Japan has few natural resources, a blockade by the American navy would force it to surrender within a few weeks, and the use of nuclear weapons would thus prove unnecessary. If a demonstration of force was required to end the war, a bomb could be dropped over an unpopulated area like a desert, in front of Japanese observers, or over an area of low population inside Japan, such as a forest. Opting for this course of action might minimize the loss of further lives on all sides, while the power of nuclear weapons would still be adequately demonstrated.All of these arguments were rejected, however, and the general consensus was that the quickestway to end the fighting would be to use nuclear weapons against centers of population inside Japan. In fact, two of the more likely reasons why this decision was reached seem quite shocking to us now.Since the beginning of the Second World War both Germany and Japan had adopted a policy of genocide（i. e. killing as many people as possible, including civilians）. Later on, even the US and Britain had used the strategy of firebombing cities（Dresden and Tokyo, for example）in order to kill, injure and intimidate as many civilians as possible. Certainly, the general public in the West had become used to hearing about the deaths of largo numbers of people, so the deaths of another few thousand Japanese, who were the enemy in any case, would not seem particularly unacceptable-a bit of 'justifiable’ revenge for the Allies’ own losses, perhaps.The second reason is not much easier to comprehend. Some of the leading scientists in the world had collaborated to develop nuclear weapons, and this development had resulted in a number of major advances in technology and scientific knowledge. As a result, a lot of normal, intelligent people wan ted to see nuclear weapons used; they wanted to see just how destruct five this new invention could be. It no doubt turned out to be even more ‘effective’ than they had imagined.83. In Paragraph 1, the writer is suggesting that the ______.A. America should, if necessary, use nuclear weapons againB. America is more likely than other countries to use nuclear weaponsC. America is one of several countries to have used nuclear weaponsD. America could potentially use nuclear weapons again.84. According to paragraph 3, a blockade would have been successful because ________.A. Japan has to import most of its natural resources like coal and steelB. Japan would not be resourceful enough to beat a blockadeC. an attack would probably destroy Japanese resources within a few weeksD. the Americans could defeat Japan’s navy since it was short of resources85. According to paragraph 5, which of the following is true?A. People in the West had got used to hearing the sounds of people dying.B. It would probably not be wise to inform people in the West of the deaths.C. Scientists thought only a few thousand people would die if the bombs were used.D. People in the West would accept that some people had to die to end the war.86. In the last sentence of Paragraph 6, the writer implies that_______.A. he/she agrees with the decision to use nuclear weapons against JapanB. he/she thinks the decision to drop nuclear bombs on Japanese cities was wrongC. nuclear weapons worked much better than the scientists probably expectedD. the weapons proved to be effective because Japan surrendered soon afterSection C (8)In the summer of 2015, Christian Moyer was just another teenager busy preparing for the SAT when he was faced with a question he couldn’t answer. It had nothing to do with reading, writing or math and everything to do with life.“We were looking at this section about college essays, and one of the prompts(提示) was, ‘ Tell us about a struggle you have had in life and how you overcame it.’’’ Said Christian, now a 17-year-old senior at University City High School. “And I realize how fortunate I was not to have any struggles in life and how other people don’t have as much as I do.”87 . The inspiration for what to do next came from “Barefoot Sunday’”an annual Newbreak Church event that asks church members to wear new or gently used shoes to a service and leave them behind. The shoes are then donated to charities that help people start over-people who are homeless, addicted, abused and poor.Christian decided to start collecting shoes for the San Diego Rescue Mission, one of the “Barefoot Sunday” charities.When he dropped off his first batch(批) of shoes, Christian got a tour to the downtown with events manager Michelle Smith. 88“Some of the people we see will wear the same pair of shoes until there are no bottoms or tops on them. This makes a big difference for them.” Said Herb Johnson, president and CEO of the San Diego Rescue Mission. “With the children, many of these kids have never had a good pair of shoes. Some of our clients’ shoes look like they have been around the world a couple of times.”Christian started collecting shoes last fall. 89 . He posted a note on an online social network. His family members put a bin (箱子) in front of their house for easy drop-off. He even raided(扫荡) his own closet.Since starting his shoe drive, Christian has collected 160 pairs, which he catalogs on an Excel spreadsheet. The shoes that are not used by the mission’s clients are sold in on e of the organization’s stores, with proceeds(收益) going to support the mission’s programs.“90 . But Christian’s started this on his own,” Smith said.Over the past year, Christian figures he has donated at least 10 pairs of his own shoes to the mission. In addition to freeing up some room in his closet, donating the shoes has given him the king of feel-good payback.。

Tonight, as I sat with my Samuel, he looked down at m y hand and said, “ Mommy! Our thumbs match!” I smiled and answered, “Yes, they do. Those are strong Polish thumbs! Be proud of them!”I no longer hide my thumbs in my fists. I'm happy that my chil d will carry on a piece of our heritage. I hope my son will neve r hide his thumbs like I did.

About 9 0 percent of the iceberg is below the water. The same idea rel ates to culture, Amy Melendez explained.Amy teaches English and trains English educators in Washing ton. She works at a number of schools, including Northern Virginia Community College and Georgetown University. She sai d that many students and teachers mistakenly think culture is just the things that are easy to see, like food, music, clothing and holidays. But she said that most culture is represented in what cannot be seen: people's expectations, beliefs and value s.So she brings lessons about this into the classroom. She teac hes learners how to understand and value cultural differences and communicate more effectively with people from other cult ures.Like Amy, Michelle Stabler is an English educator who has ta ught intercultural communication. Currently, she is a professor of Columbia University in New York City.Both Amy and Michelle explained that the subject of cultural u nderstanding is a natural part of language teaching. They not ed that language and culture are inseparable: words and expr essions have cultural origins.They also said that cultural tolerance helps learners feel safe i n the classroom. Michelle explained, "In other words, they don 't have to worry that people are going to criticize (批评) who they are or the things that they value most and believ e in. This gives students the freedom to focus their energy on learning the language without the concern that these things that are so important to them are going to be questioned。

Black Americans, who sang and played the music of their homeland, created jazz.Jazz is a mixture of the music of Africa, the work songs the sl aves sang, and religious（宗教）music. Improvisation is an important part of jazz. This means t hat the musicians make the music up as they go along, or cre ate the music on the spot.

New Orleans is an international seaport, and people fr om all over the world come to New Orleans to hear jazz.Jazz became more and more popular. By the 1920s,jazz was popular all over the United States. By the 1940s,you could hear jazz not only in clubs and bars, but in concert halls as well. Today, people from all over the world play jazz.

The deman ds of my work and my three children had made it possible to v isit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. She thought about it for a moment , and then agreed.That Friday after work, I drove over to pick her up. When I arri ved at her house, I noticed that she had curled her hair and w as wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as bea utiful as an angel’s.We went to a very nice and comfortable restaurant. After we s at down, I had to read the menu. A smile was on her lips. “It w as I who used to have to read the menu when you were a chil d”, she said. “Then it’s time that you should relax and let me r eturn the favor,” I responded.During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation----nothing special but catching up onrecent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I a greed.A few days later my mother died of an uncontemplated heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance todo anything for her. At that moment I understood the importan ce of saying in time “I LOVE YOU” and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important th an your family.

At 6:15 the next morning, my alarm cloc k rang. Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went b ack to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went o ut.Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn't help breathing it d eeply. I stretched my arms and legs, then started to run. I fou nd all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branche s were waving, as if they were welcoming me; the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, the wind was whispering, as if to say “come on, girl”. What's more interesting was those two birds, perching in the tree. They we re scared and flew away when I passed them. “Hey, chaps, re lax.” I shouted without stopping running. “Let's enjoy the beau tiful morning together!” Then miracle（奇迹） happened. The two little creatures seemed to understan d what I said. They turned back and twittered（吱吱叫） around me. “Are you singing for me?” I asked. They twitt ered again and again, sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to h ear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful life i s!Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us. Hele n Keller wrote in her famous article Three Days to See, “The s eeing see little”. Indeed, many of us ignore the beauty around us, just because we are familiar with them. They always comp lain that life is boring. But, I just want to say, if you live each d ay with appreciation of things around, you'll find life is very ch arming. So, let's enjoy life from now on.12.

【最新整理，下载后即可编辑】2016-2017学年上海市闵行区七宝中学高二（下）期末英语试卷II. Grammar and VocabularyDirections：After reading the passages below，fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word，fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word；for the other blanks，use one word that best fits each blank.1．You（21）think your English skills are good，but do you know what a"knowledge navigator"is？How about a：replenishment controller"？Don't worry if you don't understand what these two job titles are（22）would most native English speakers．But thanks to（23）UK company，we know that these titles from two job adverts mean"teacher"and"shelf stacker（货架整理员）"The Plain English Campaign（PEC）（24）（work）since 1979 to rid the UK of over﹣complicated language．It's aim is to make English as clear as possible for members of the public．It rewrites and edits documents，such as goverment application forms or job advertisments，（25）（make）them understandable．Research carried out last year by Business in the Community，a UK charity，even found that two third of 16﹣to﹣24﹣year﹣olds are putoff applying for jobs （26）they don't understand their descriptions．（27）"Jargon（专业术语）is describing is very important．It should be articulated（表达）very clearly，"Steve Jenner，PEC spokesperson，told the BBC．According to the Guardian，some of （28）（unusual）workplace jarjon includes"blue﹣sky thinking"﹣meaning open﹣minded planning﹣"touch base offline"﹣meaning to meet and talk （29）person﹣and"don't let the grass grow too long"﹣which is another way of asking someone to work faster．But it's not just documents and workplace language （30）the PEC targets．Every year，it nominates public figures for it's"Foot in Mouth award"．To put one's mouth is a phrase that means to say something foolish．For the last two years，US president Donald Trump has features on the list．"Trump is notoriously（极度地）generous when it comes to providing memorable nonsense，"the PEC wrote on its website．"He seemed to say something daft every few days during his campaign fofr the Republication Presidential candidacy．"Section B Directions：Complete the following passage by using thewords in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.2．A．thirst B．stole C．shaping D．heavily AB．inspiration AC．marksAD．hit BC．touching BD．imaginative CD．reportedly ABC．curisityYou may still remember the"Eight Minutes of Tokyo"in the closing ceremony of the Rio Olympics last August．Even if the Tokyo Games wasn't going to be here for another four years，the performance of the new host successfully（31）the show （大出风头）with its famous animated characters﹣Doraemon，Hello Kitty and Super Mario．It was a wise choice since there is probably nothing that shouts"Japan"more loudly than the country's animation，known as"Japanimation"．And this year （32）the 100th anniversary of the very first Japanese cartoon，made in 1917．In the past century，the wild imagination of Japanese animators continued to feed our（33）．Monsters，fairies，robots and magic feature often in their work．It has also been inspiring film industries in other parts of the world．The （34）story ofDisney's The Lion King （1994），for example，actually comes from Japan's Kimba the White Lion （《森林大帝》，1965）．And the 1999Hollywood（35）film，The Matrix，was also（36）influenced by the 1989Japanese manga Ghost in the Shell （《攻壳机动队》）．"I love his films．I study his films．I watch his films when I'm looking for（37），"John Lasseter，director of Pixar's Toy Story，once said about famous Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki．And our （38）for this imaginary world is only growing．At the end of last year，for example，the story of Japanese cartoon Pokemon （《宠物小精灵》，1997﹣）was brought to life with the help of augmented reality （AR，增强现实）technology．People in many countries are often seen searching for Pokemon in real life locations through the screens of their phones．They play it on their way to school，to work，and during holiday outings．Although Pokemon began as a video game a year before the cartoon came out，people should give the animation a"Thanks"for bringing it to a wider audience．Besides being a source of entertainment，Japanese animation is also a （39）force of our daily lives．For example，wearing glasses used to be considered as uncool and geeky （书呆子气的），but afterthe 1981TV animation Arale （《阿拉蕾》），in which there is a heavily ﹣nearsighted （高度近视的）girl with wings and magic powers，glasses soon became fashionable．And the language we use﹣the word meng （萌），to name one﹣is also（40）from Japanese animation．But interestingly，with all the imagination that is so admired by modern fans，it would still be hard for Japanese animators in 1917to believe that the two﹣dimensional worlds that they were creating at the time would have such a big influence in today's three﹣dimensional world．Reading Comprehension Section A Directions：For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A，B，C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.3．Reading to me is all about personal growth．Growth through reading can take many （41）．It can come from seeing the world through the eyes of someone else，thra new truth or reconnecting with a truth long（42）．It can even come from an uncontained guffaw（狂笑）while reading a humorous passage．Growth through reading is not about reaching a certain level or reading so many minutes a day．It is（43）not about finding one type of reaingmaterial more valid than another．It's about making something such an （44）part of your life that you don't feel the need to quantity what you're doing．You should read because you want to，not because you have to．At a recent workshop it was argued that，as adults，we often make themistake of （45）children to do things we don't do ourselves．Before chastising （punishing）your child for watching videos or playing games，ask yourself how you use your spare time．As adults we need to lead by example．When was the last time you（46）that 500﹣page classic instead of checking social media or watching television？If something isn't good enough toe you or（47）your time，then why would you like your children to feel （48）？We also tend to forget that the journey can often be more illuminating （49）that the actual goal．This is definately the（50）with reading．I am not talking about the journey that takes place within the pages of a book．I am talking about the personal journey that is possible when a child finds something that（51）their interest，latches onto it﹣and in so doing discoveries new worlds they never knew existed．The ownership in discovering and exploring one's own interests is magical．What does it（52）if a child is reading books that are"too easy"or"below their level"if it still bring them joy？Why is that a bad thing？Yes，stagnation（停止，滞止）can hamper growth，but as adults that is where we can（53）and help．It is our duty to help（54）our children's horizon's by knowing what excites and drives them nd then presenting them with new andexciting literary options within that context．Whatever your child likes to read﹣if it is"War and Peace，"magazines，comics，online articles，video game directions or th eback of a cereal box﹣﹣﹣take taht，encourage it and build on it by introducing new（55）．Do not take away a child's joy．Without joy，reading is no longer reading．It's work．41．A．measures B．steps C．forms D．terms 42．A．forgotten B．acepted C．identified D．ignored 43．A．necessarily B．slightly C．potentially D．definitely 44．A．integral B．unusual C．necessary D．vital 45．A．hoping B．exciting C．demanding D．having 46．A．set up B．looked up C．picked up D．turned up 47．A．deserve B．worthy C．require D．worth 48．A．equally B．specially C．similary D．differently 49．A．rewarding B．exciting C．diasppointing D．appealing 50．A．situation B．case C．illustration D．union51．A．raises B．leads C．sparks D．arises 52．A．matter B．mean C．account D．offer 53．A．set in B．step in C．take in D．look in 54．A．stretch B．broaden C．extend D．enlarge 55．A．competitions B．disciplines C．approaches D．challengesSection B Directions：Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.4．Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud，slowly，his tone growing sadder and sadder．The little headline said：BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE．Frank Cleary，aged 26，professional boxer，was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming，aged 32，laborer，last July．The jury （陪审团）reached its decision after only ten minutes，recommending the most severe punishment to the court．It was，said the Judge，a simple case．Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming．When arrested，Cleary was drunk butclear﹣thinking．Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour．Asked if he had anything to say，Cleary answered，"Just don't tell my mother．" "It happened over three years ago，"Paddy said helplessly．No one answered him or moved，for no one knew what to do．"Just don't tell my mother，"said Fee numbly（麻木地）．"And no one did!Oh，God!My poor，poor Frank!"Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．"Fee，pack your things．We'll go to see him．"She half﹣rose before sinking back，her eyes in her small white face stared asif dead．"I can't go，"she said without a hint of pain，yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．"It would kill him to see me．I know him so well﹣his pride，his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants．We've got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us？"Paddy was still weeping，not for Frank，but for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune，always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，Frank took it away．But Paddy's love for her was as deep andimpossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank．So he said，"Well，Fee，we won't go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank？"There was no excitement in the eyes，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"Yes，Paddy，do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frankwe found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know．"56．Paddy cried because he thought ．A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment B．Frank should have told Fee what had happenedC．what had happened to Frank was killing FeeD．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character57．The

the sentence to him，most probably out of his pride．59．What is Frank and Paddy's probable relationship with Fee？A．Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's brother．B．Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's husband．C．Frank is Fee's brother and Paddy is Fee's lover．D．Frank is Fee's lover and Paddy is Fee's husband．5．Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and Exhibition Tour OverviewShakespeare's Globe Exhibition is

something，it means you're a failure，"says the psychologist Will Meek．He，however，suggests we view quitting differently．Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room：you've grown comfortable with the status，and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary．And yet，there's the upsetting feeling that you're no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances，perhaps even that you've stopped making progress．While it's not out of the question for feelings of regret to surface after a major refit，leaving a position，project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities，making you feel inspired and renewed．Quitting，often happens in situations where we're unhappy，fearful or have determined we have no other choice，factors that can have ill effects on our health．Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling，or you've jumped into a new relationship before you're ready﹣﹣and，asa result，you're operating under intense pressure．"If stress is enduring and not managed well，it can start to take a toll，"says Meek．According to the American Psychological Association，long﹣term，ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant phsical and emotional health benefits．"We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol（应激激素皮质醇）"，which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate，"says Dr Alex Lickerman，a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability．Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you．In a study that was published in 1999，then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets﹣﹣someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers，for instance，was asked to take on personal interactions．Subjects（研究对象）wre especially drawn to acting out a version of their future selves through‘imitation strategies'﹣﹣an approach they compared to‘trying on different clothes．'Mark Franklin，the president of CareerCycles，suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post﹣quitting life and foresee your future self．"Pretend to be a certain kindof person，or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do，"he says．"Try it on，see how it feels and decide if it's a good fit for you．"It may not feel like it at the time，but just moving on from a situation that's not quite right can help you get back on track．63．It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that quitting may brim us feelings of being both ．A．guilty and ashamedB．stupid and enthusiasticC．troubled and hopefulD．inspired and determined64．The phrase"take a toll"（paragraph 3）can be best replaced by" "．A．developmental adaptabilityB．bring about changesC．keep up the pressureD．have a bad effect65．An approach suggested by Mark Franklin similar to'trying on different clothes'is for ．A．helping people find what truly suits them in careerB．telling capable employees from inadequate onesC．training employees to acquire different working skills D．providing people with opportunities to have a role play66．It can be concluded from the passage that ．A．quitting is a track that only the timid will choose to follow B．personal interaction can be a must for reducing emotional pressure C．mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisol D．knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happen．Section C7．A．What accounts for this culture of generosity？B．This belief is central to the national character．C．How can a sense of generosity be cultivated？D．Americans'generosity is rooted in selfless behavior．AB．America's philanthropic nature is not restricted to the rich．AC．The formal practice of philanthropy traces its origin to a Founding Father．Charity﹣Humanity's most kind and generous desire﹣is a timeless and borderless virtue，dating

七宝中学高二下学期期末试卷II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections:After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.You 21 think your English skills are good, but do you know what a "knowledge navigator" is? How about a :replenishment controller”?Don't worry if you don't understand what these two job titles are- 22 would most native English speakers. But thanks to 23 UK company, we know that these titles from two job adverts mean “teacher” and “shelf stacker（货架整理员）”The Plain English Campaign(PEC) 24 (woke) since 1979 to rid the UK of over-complicated language. It’s aim is to make English as clear as possible fo r members of the public. It rewrites and edits documents, such as goverment application forms or job advertisments, 25 (make) them understandable.Research carried out last year by Business in the Community, a UK charity, even found that two third of 16-to-24-year-olds are put off applying for jobs 26 they don’t understand their descriptions.27 “Jargon（专业术语）is describing is very important. It should be articulated（表达）very clearly,” Steve Jenner,PEC spokesperson,told the BBC.According to the Guardian, some of 28 (unusual) workplace jarjon includes “blue-sky thinking”-meaning open-minded planning-”touch base offline”-meaning to meet and talk 29 person-and “don’t let the grass grow too long”-which is another way of asking someone to work faster.But it’s not just documents and workplace language 30 the PEC targets. Every year, it n ominates public fingures for it’s “Foot in Mouth award”. To put one’s mouth is a phrase that means to say something foolish. For the last two years, US president Donald Trump has features on the list.“Trump is notoriously（极度地）generous when it comes to providing memorable nonsense,” the PEC wrote on its website. “He seemed to say something daft every few days during his campaign fofr the Republication Presidential candidacy.”Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.You may still remember the “Eight Minutes of Tokyo” in the closing ceremony of the Rio Olympics last August. Even if the Tokyo Games wasn’t going to be here for another four years, the performance of the new host successfully 31 the show (大出风头) with its famous animated characters – Doraemon, Hello Kitty and Super Mario.It was a wise choice since there is probably nothing that shouts “Japan” more loudly than the country’s animation, known as “Japanimation”. And this year 32 the 100th anniversary of the very first Japanese cartoon, made in 1917.In the past century, the wild imagination of Japanese animators continued to feed our 33 . Monsters, fairies, robots and magic feature often in their work. It has also been inspiring film industries in other parts of the world. The 34 story of Di sney’s The Lion King (1994), for example, actually comes from Japan’s Kimba the White Lion (《森林大帝》，1965). And the 1999 Hollywood 35 film, The Matrix, was also 36 influenced by the 1989 Japanese manga Ghost in the Shell (《攻壳机动队》).“I love his films. I study his films. I watch his films when I’m looking for37 ,” John Lasseter, director of Pixar’s Toy Story, once said about famous Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki.And our 38 for this imaginary world is only growing.At the end of last year, for example, the story of Japanese cartoon Pokemon (《宠物小精灵》，1997-) was brought to life with the help of augmented reality (AR，增强现实) technology. People in many countries are often seen searching for Pokemon in real life locations through the screens of their phones. They play it on their way to school, to work, and during holiday outings. Although Pokemon began as a video game a year before the cartoon came out, people should give the animation a “Thanks” for bringing it to a wider audie nce.Besides being a source of entertainment, Japanese animation is also a 39 force of our daily lives. For example, wearing glasses used to be considered as uncool and geeky (书呆子气的), but after the 1981 TV animation Arale (《阿拉蕾》), in which there is a heavily-nearsighted (高度近视的) girl with wings and magic powers, glasses soon became fashionable. And the language we use –the word meng (萌), to name one – is also 40 from Japanese animation.But interestingly, with all the imagination that is so admired by modern fans, it would still be hard for Japanese animators in 1917 to believe that the two-dimensional worlds that they were creating at the time would have such a big influence in today’s three-dimensional world.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Reading to me is all about personal growth. Growth through reading can take many 41 .It can come from seeing the world through the eyes of someone else, thra new truth or reconnecting with a truth long 42 . It can even come from an uncontained guffaw（狂笑）while reading a humorous passage. Growth through reading is not about reaching a certain level or reading so many minutes a day. It is 43 not about finding one type of reaing material more valid than another. It’s about making something such an44 part of your life that you don’t feel the need to quantity what you’re doing. You should read because you want to, not because you have to.At a recent workshop it was argued that, as adults, we often make the mistake of 45 children to do things we don’t do ourselves. Before chastising (punishing) your child for watching videos or playing games, ask yourself how you use your spare time. As adults we need to lead by example. When was the last time you 46 that 500-page classic instead of checking social media or watching television? If something isn’t good enough toe you or47 your time, then why would you like your children to feel 48 ?We also tend to forget that the journey can often be more illuminating 49 that the actual goal.This is definately the 50 with reading. I am not talking about the journey that takes place within the pages of a book. I am talking about the personal journey that is possible when a child finds something that 51 their interest, latches onto it-and in so doing discoveries new worlds they never knew existed. The ownership in discovering and exploring one’s own interests is magical.What does it 53 if a child is reading books that are “too easy” or “below their level” if it still bring them joy? Why is that a bad thing? Yes, stagnation（停止，滞止）can hamper growth, but as adults that is where we can 53 and help. It is our duty to help 54 our child ren’s horizon’s by knowing what excites and drives them and then presenting them with new and exciting literary options within that context. Whatever your child likes to read-if it is “War and Peace,” magazines, comics, online articles, video game directions or th eback of a cereal box---take taht, encourage it and build on it by introducing new 55 . Do not take away a child’s joy.Without joy, reading is no longer reading. It’s work.41.A.measures B.steps C.forms D.terms42.A.forgotten B.acepted C.identified D.ignored43.A.necessarily B.slightly C.potentially D.definitely44.A.integral B.unusual C.necessary D.vital45.A.hoping B.exciting C.demanding D.having46.A.set up B.looked up C.picked up D.turned up47.A.deserve B.worthy C.require D.worth48.A.equally B.specially C.similary D.differently49.A.rewarding B.exciting C.diasppointing D.appealing50.A.situation B.case C.illustration D.union51.A.raises B.leads C.sparks D.arises52.A.matter B.mean C.account D.offer53.A.set in B.step in C.take in D.look in54.A.stretch B.broaden C.extend D.enlargepetitions B.disciplines C.approaches D.challengesSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury(陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court. It was, said the Judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming. When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answer ed him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly(麻木地). “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.”She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can't go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the s hame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?”Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pi nk stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that.Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”56. Paddy cried because he thought ___________.A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishmentB. Frank should have told Fee what had happenedC. what had happened to Frank was killing FeeD. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character57. The underlined sentence “She half-rose before sinking back…” in Paragraph 6 shows that___________.A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand upB. Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting FrankC. Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see FrankD.Fe e struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish58. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer’s Sentence of Life Imprisonment.B.The police found Gumming unconscious, heavily struck by Frank.C. The family didn’t find out what had happened to Frank until 3 years l ater.D. Frank didn’t want his family to know the sentence to him, most probably out of his pride.59. What is Frank and Paddy’s probable relationship with Fee?A. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s brother.B. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s husband.C. Frank is Fee’s brother and Paddy is Fee’s lover.D. Frank is Fee’s lover and Paddy is Fee’s husband.（B）Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and Exhibition TourOverviewShakespeare's Globe Exhibition is the world's largest exhibition devoted to Shakespeare.

He, however, suggests we view quitting differently.Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room: you’ve grown comfortable with the status, and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary. And yet, there's the upsetting feeling that you’re no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances, perhaps even that you’ve stopped making progress. While it's not out of the question for feelings of regret to surface after a major refit, leaving a position, project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities, making you feel inspired and renewed.Quitting, often happens in situations where we're unhappy, fearful or have determined we have no other choice, factors that can have ill effects on our health. Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling, or you've jumped into a new relationship before you're ready--and, as a result, you're operating under intense pressure. “If stress is enduring and not managed well, it can start to take a toll,” says Meek. According to the Americ an Psychological Association, long-term, ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits. “We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol(应激激素皮质醇)”, which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,” says Dr Alex Lickerman, a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability.Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you. In a study that was published in 1999, then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets--someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers, for instance, was asked to take on personal interactions. Subjects(研究对象) were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future selves through ‘imitation strategies’ -- an approach they compared to ‘trying on different clothes.’ Mark Franklin, the president of CareerCycles, suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self. “Pretend to be a certain kind of person, or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do,” he says. “Try it on, see how it feels and decide if it's a good fit for you.” It may not feel like it at the time, but just moving on from a situation that's not quite right can help you get back on track.63. It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that quitting may brim us feelings of being both ________.A. guilty and ashamedB. stupid and enthusiasticC. troubled and hopefulD. inspired and determined64. The phrase “take a toll” (paragraph 3) can be best replaced by “________”.A. developmental adaptabilityB. bring about changesC. keep up the pressureD. have a bad effect65. An approach suggested by Mark Franklin similar to ‘trying on different clothes’ is for________.A. helping people find what truly suits them in careerB. telling capable employees from inadequate onesC. training employees to acquire different working skillsD. providing people with opportunities to have a role play66. It can be concluded from the passage that________.A. quitting is a track that only the timid will choose to followB. personal interaction can be a must for reducing emotional pressureC. mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisolD. knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happenSection CCharity—Humanity’s most kind and generous desire—is a timeless and borderless virtue, dating at least to the dawn of religious teaching. Philanthropy（慈善行为）as we understand it today, however, is a distinctly American phenomenon, inseparable from the nation that shaped it. From colonial leaders to modern billionaires like Buffett, Gates and Zuckerberg, the tradition of giving is woven into the national DNA.67. ________ Benjamin Franklin, an icon of individual industry and frugality（节俭）even in his own day, understood that with the privilege of doing well came the price of doing good. When he died in 1790, Franklin thought to future generations, leaving in trust two gifts of 1,000 Ib. of sterling silver—one to the city of Boston, the other to Philadelphia. According to his instruction, a portion of the money could not be used for 200 years.While Franklin’s gifts lay in wait, the tradition he established evolved alongside the young nation.68.________ Often far less famed men and women have played a critical role in philanthropy’s evolution. One of my personal heroes is Julius Rosenwald, who helped construct more than 5,300 schools across the segregated（种族隔离）South and opened classroom doors to a generation of African-American students.69. ________ The answer is not just to benefit others. Tax reduction, for one, encourages the rich people to give. And philanthropy has long helped improve the public image of everyone from immoral capitalists to the new tech elite. More troubling, however, are the foundational problems that make philanthropy so necessary. Just before his death, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Philanthropy is praise-worthy, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook thecircumstances of economic inju stice which make philanthropy necessary.”Franklin’s gifts represent a broader principle. We are guardians of a public trust, even if our capital came from private enterprise, and our most important obligation is ensuring that the system works more equall y and more justly for more people. 70. ________ America’s greatest strength is not the fact of perfection, but rather the act of perfecting.Ⅳ.

For instance , in 1997 the Pandora , which sank in 791, was discovered off the coast of Australia . The findings from the ship helped us understand the events surrounding the famous mutiny (暴动) on another ship ----- the Bounty . Another important discovery off the US coast in 1996 is widely believed to be the Queen Ann’s Reven ge , the flagship of the private Blackbeard. Profit is another motive for shipwreck exploration ,as companies use advanced sonar , robots and retrieval equipment to find treasure ships . One such firm is Odyssey Marine Exploration . The company has found hundreds of ships , including , in 2007 , a Spanish sailing ship containing 500,000 silver coins. The ship , which sank 200 years ago in the Atlantic Ocean , carried a treasure estimated to be worth $500 million . Soon after the discovery , a long legal battle over ownership rights took place between the company and the Spanish government . Cases like these are part of an ongoing debate about protecting historically important ships from treasure hunters.V.

Monsters, fairies, robots and magic feature often in their work. It has also been inspiring film industries in other parts of the world. The 34 story of Disney’s The Lion King (1994), for example, actually comes from Japan’s Kimba the White Lion (《森林大帝》，1965). And the 1999 Hollywood 35 film, The Matrix, was also 36 influenced by the 1989 Japanese manga Ghost in the Shell (《攻壳机动队》).“I love his films. I study his films.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Reading to me is all about personal growth. Growth through reading can take many 41 .It can come from seeing the world through the eyes of someone else, through new truth or reconnecting with a truth long 42 . It can even come from an uncontained guffaw（狂笑）while reading a humorous passage. Growth through reading is not about reaching a certain level or reading so many minutes a day. It is 43 not about finding one type of reading material more valid than another. It’s about making something such an 44 part of your life that you don’t feel the ne ed to quantity what you’re doing. You should read because you want to, not because you have to.At a recent workshop it was argued that, as adults, we often make the mistake of 45 children to do things we don’t do ourselves. Before chastising (punishing) your child for watching videos or playing games, ask yourself how you use your sparetime. As adults we need to lead by example. When was the last time you 46 that 500-page classic instead of checking social media or watching television?

The ownership in discovering and exploring one’s own interests is magical.What does it 53 if a child is reading books that are “too easy” or “below their level” if it still bring them joy? Why is that a bad thing? Yes, stagnation（停止，滞止）can hamper growth, but as adults that is where we can 53 and help. It is our duty to help 54 our children’s horizon’s by knowing what excites and drives them and then presenting them with new and exciting literary options within that context. Whatever your child likes to read-if it is “War and Peace,” magazines, comics, online articles, video game directions or the back of a cereal box---take that, encourage it and build on it by introducing new 55 .

The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury(陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court. It was, said the Judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming. When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly(麻木地). “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.”She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can't go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?”Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jo nes and ask him to look out for Frank?”There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”56. Paddy cried because he thought ___________.A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishmentB. Frank should have told Fee what had happenedC. what had happened to Frank was killing FeeD. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character57. The underlined sentence “She half-rose before sinking back…” in Paragraph 6 shows that___________.A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand upB. Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting FrankC. Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see FrankD.Fe e struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish58. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer’s Sentence of Life Imprisonment.B.The police found Gumming unconscious, heavily struck by Frank.C. The family didn’t find out what had happened to Frank until 3 years later.D. Frank didn’t want his family to know the sentence to him, most probably out of his pride.59. What is Frank and Paddy’s probable relationship with Fe e?A. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s brother.B. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s husband.C. Frank is Fee’s brother and Paddy is Fee’s lover.D. Frank is Fee’s lover and Paddy is Fee’s husband.（B）Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and Exhibition TourOverviewShakespeare's Globe Exhibition is the world's largest exhibition devoted to Shakespeare.

He, however, suggests we view quitting differently.Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room: you’ve grown comfortable with the status, and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary. And yet, there's the upsetting feeling that you’re no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances, perhaps even that you’ve stopped making progress. While it's not out of the question for feelings of regret to surface after a major refit, leaving a position, project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities, making you feel inspired and renewed.Quitting, often happens in situations where we're unhappy, fearful or have determined we have no other choice, factors that can have ill effects on our health. Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling, or you've jumped into a new relationship before you're ready--and, as a result, you're operating under intense pressure. “If stress is enduring and not managed well, it can start to take a toll,” says Meek. According to the American Psychological Association, long-term, ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional hea lth benefits. “We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol(应激激素皮质醇)”, which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,” says Dr Alex Lickerman, a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability.Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you. In a study that was published in 1999, then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets--someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers, for instance, was asked to take on personal interactions. Subjects(研究对象) were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future selves through ‘imitation strategies’ -- an approach they compared to ‘trying on different clothes.’ Mark Franklin, the president of CareerCycles, suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self. “Pretend to be a certain k ind of person, or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do,” he says. “Try it on, see how it feels and decide if it's a good fit for you.” It may not feel like it at the time, but just moving on from a situation that's not quite right can help you get back on track.63. It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that quitting may brim us feelings of being both ________.A. guilty and ashamedB. stupid and enthusiasticC. troubled and hopefulD. inspired and determined64. The ph rase “take a toll” (paragraph 3) can be best replaced by “________”.A. developmental adaptabilityB. bring about changesC. keep up the pressureD. have a bad effect65. An approach suggested by Mark Franklin similar to ‘trying on different clothes’ is for________.A. helping people find what truly suits them in careerB. telling capable employees from inadequate onesC. training employees to acquire different working skillsD. providing people with opportunities to have a role play66. It can be concluded from the passage that________.A. quitting is a track that only the timid will choose to followB. personal interaction can be a must for reducing emotional pressureC. mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisolD. knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happenSection CCharity—Humanity’s most kind and generous desire—is a timeless and borderless virtue, dating at least to the dawn of religious teaching. Philanthropy（慈善行为）as we understand it today, however, is a distinctly American phenomenon, inseparable from the nation that shaped it. From colonial leaders to modern billionaires like Buffett, Gates and Zuckerberg, the tradition of giving is woven into the national DNA.67. ________ Benjamin Franklin, an icon of individual industry and frugality （节俭）even in his own day, understood that with the privilege of doing well came the price of doing good. When he died in 1790, Franklin thought to future generations, leaving in trust two gifts of 1,000 Ib. of sterling silver—one to the city of Boston, the other to Philadelphia. According to his instruction, a portion of the money could not be used for 200 years.While Franklin’s gifts lay in wait, the tradition he established evolved alongside the young nation.68.________ Often far less famed men and women have played a critical role in philanthropy’s evolution. One of my personal heroes is Julius Rosenwald, who helped construct more than 5,300 schools across the segregated（种族隔离）South and opened classroom doors to a generation of African-American students.69. ________ The answer is not just to benefit others. Tax reduction, for one, encourages the rich people to give. And philanthropy has long helped improve the public image of everyone from immoral capitalists to the new tech elite. More troubling, however, are the foundational problems that make philanthropy so necessary. Just before his death, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Philanthropy is praise-worthy, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthr opy necessary.”Franklin’s gifts represent a broader principle. We are guardians of a public trust, even if our capital came from private enterprise, and our most important obligation is ensuring that the system works more equally and more justly for more people. 70. ________ America’s greatest strength is not the fact of perfection, but rather the act of perfecting.Ⅳ.

The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury(陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court. It was, said the Judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming. When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answe red him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly(麻木地). “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.”She half-rose befor e sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can't go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?”Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint p ink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”56. Paddy cried because he thought ___________.A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishmentB. Frank should have told Fee what had happenedC. what had happened to Frank was killing FeeD. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character57. The underlined sentence “She half-rose before sinking back…” in Paragraph 6 shows that___________.A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand upB. Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting FrankC. Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see FrankD.Fe e struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish58. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer’s Sentence of Life Imprisonment.B.The police found Gumming unconscious, heavily struck by Frank.C. The family didn’t find out what had happened to Frank until 3 years later.D. Frank didn’t want his family to know the sentence to him, most probably out of his pride.59. What is Frank and Paddy’s probable relationship with Fee?A. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s brother.B. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s husband.C. Frank is Fee’s brother and Paddy is Fee’s lover.D. Frank is Fee’s lover and Paddy is Fee’s husband.（B）Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and Exhibition TourOverviewShakespeare's Globe Exhibition is the world's largest exhibition devoted to Shakespeare.

He, however, suggests we view quitting differently.Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room: you’ve grown comfortable with the status, and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary. And yet, there's the upsetting feeling that you’re no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances, perhaps even that you’ve stopped making progress. While it's not out of the question for feelings of regret to surface after a major refit, leaving a position, project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities, making you feel inspired and renewed.Quitting, often happens in situations where we're unhappy, fearful or have determined we have no other choice, factors that can have ill effects on our health. Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling, or you've jumped into a new relationship before you're ready--and, as a result, you'reoperating under intense pressure. “If stress is enduring and not managed well, it can start to take a toll,” says Meek. According to the American Psychological Association, long-term, ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits. “We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol(应激激素皮质醇)”, which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,” says Dr Alex Lickerman, a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability.Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you. In a study that was published in 1999, then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets--someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers, for instance, was asked to take on personal interactions. Subjects(研究对象) were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future selves through ‘imitation strategies’ -- an approach they compared to ‘trying on different clothes.’ Mark Franklin, the president of CareerCycles, suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self. “Pretend to be a certain kind of person, or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do,” he says. “Try it on, see how it feels and decide if it's a good fit for you.” It may not feel like it at the time, but just moving on from a situation that's not quite right can help you get back on track.63. It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that quitting may brim us feelings of being both ________.A. guilty and ashamedB. stupid and enthusiasticC. troubled and hopefulD. inspired and determined64. The phrase “take a toll” (paragraph 3) can be best replaced by “________”.A. developmental adaptabilityB. bring about changesC. keep up the pressureD. have a bad effect65. An approach suggested by Mark Franklin similar to ‘trying on different clothes’ is for________.A. helping people find what truly suits them in careerB. telling capable employees from inadequate onesC. training employees to acquire different working skillsD. providing people with opportunities to have a role play66. It can be concluded from the passage that________.A. quitting is a track that only the timid will choose to followB. personal interaction can be a must for reducing emotional pressureC. mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisolD. knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happenSection CCharity—Humanity’s most kind and generous desire—is a timeless and borderless virtue, dating at least to the dawn of religious teaching. Philanthropy（慈善行为）as we understand it today, however, is a distinctly American phenomenon, inseparable from the nation that shaped it. From colonial leaders to modern billionaires like Buffett, Gates and Zuckerberg, the tradition of giving is woven into the national DNA.67. ________ Benjamin Franklin, an icon of individual industry and frugality（节俭）even in his own day, understood that with the privilege of doing well came the price of doing good. When he died in 1790, Franklin thought to future generations, leaving in trust two gifts of 1,000 Ib. of sterling silver—one to the city of Boston, the other to Philadelphia. According to his instruction, a portion of the money could not be used for 200 years.While Franklin’s gifts lay in wait, the tradition he established evolved alongside the young nation.68.________ Often far less famed men a nd women have played a critical role in philanthropy’s evolution. One of my personal heroes is Julius Rosenwald, who helped construct more than 5,300 schools across the segregated（种族隔离）South and opened classroom doors to a generation of African-American students.69. ________ The answer is not just to benefit others. Tax reduction, for one, encourages the rich people to give. And philanthropy has long helped improve the public image of everyone from immoral capitalists to the new tech elite. More troubling, however, are the foundational problems that make philanthropy so necessary. Just before his death, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Philanthropy is praise-worthy, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic in justice which make philanthropy necessary.”Franklin’s gifts represent a broader principle. We are guardians of a public trust, even if our capital came from private enterprise, and our most important obligation is ensuring that the system works more equa lly and more justly for more people. 70. ________ America’s greatest strength is not the fact of perfection, but rather the act of perfecting.Ⅳ. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.For thousands of years , people have sailed across the oceans to trade , explore and transport goods . However , not every ship arrives at its port of destination . Weather ,war , navigation mistakes and bad luck have caused many ships to sink to the bottom of the ocean. These shipwrecks , which are estimated to number more than three million , have long fascinated us . Inaddition to being historically important , they sometimes contain great riches.Historical research is a key motivator for shipwreck hunters . Ships carrying documents and artifact can teach us about ancient civilizations and important events . For instance , in 1997 the Pandora , which sank in 791, was discovered off the coast of Australia . The findings from the ship helped us understand the events surrounding the famous mutiny (暴动) on another ship ----- the Bounty . Another important discovery off the US coast in 1996 is widely believed to be the Queen Ann’s Rev enge , the flagship of the private Blackbeard. Profit is another motive for shipwreck exploration ,as companies use advanced sonar , robots and retrieval equipment to find treasure ships . One such firm is Odyssey Marine Exploration . The company has found hundreds of ships , including , in 2007 , a Spanish sailing ship containing 500,000 silver coins. The ship , which sank 200 years ago in the Atlantic Ocean , carried a treasure estimated to be worth $500 million . Soon after the discovery , a long legal battle over ownership rights took place between the company and the Spanish government . Cases like these are part of an ongoing debate about protecting historically important ships from treasure hunters.V.

Directions:After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make t he passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in eachblank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.You 21 think your English skills are good, but do you know what a "knowledge navigator" is? How about a :replenishment controller”？Don't worry if you don't understand what these two job titles are- 22 wouldmost native English speakers. But thanks to 23 UK company, we know that thesetitles from two job adverts mean “teacher” and “shelf stacker（货架整理员）”The Plain English Campaign(PEC) 24 (woke) since 1979 to rid the UK ofover-complicated language. It’s aim is to make English as clear as possible formembers of the public. It rewrites and edits documents, such as goverment application forms or job advertisments, 25 (make) them understandable.Research carried out last year by Business in the Community, a UK charity, evenfound that two third of 16-to-24-year-olds are put off applying for jobs 26 theydon’t und erstand their descriptions.27 “Jargon（专业术语）is describing is very important. It should bearticulated（表达）very clearly,” Steve Jenner,PEC spokesperson,told the BBC.According to the Guardian, some of 28 (unusual) workplace jarjon includes “blue-sky thinking”-meaning open-minded planning-”touch base offline”-meaning to meet and talk 29 person-and “don’t let the grass grow too long”-which is another way of asking someone to work faster.But it’s not just documents and workplace language 30 the PEC targets.Every year, it n ominates public fingures for it’s “Foot in Mouth award”. To put one’s mouth is a phrase that means to say something foolish. For the last two years, US president Donald Trump has features on the list.“Trump is notoriously（极度地） generous when it comes to providing memorable nonsense,” the PEC wrote on its website. “He seemed to say something daft every few days during his campaign fofr the Republication Presidential candidacy.”Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each wordcan only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A.thirst B. stole C. shaping D. heavilyAB.inspirationAC.marksAD. hitBC.touching BD.imaginativeCD.reportedlyABC. curisityYou may still remember the “Eight Minutes of Tokyo” in the closing ceremonyof the Rio Olympics last August. Even if the Tokyo Games wasn’t going to be herefor another four years, the performance of the new host successfully 31the show (大出风头) with its famous animated characters –Doraemon, Hello Kitty and Super Mario.It was a wise choice since there is probably nothing that shouts “Japan” more loudly than the country’s animation, known as “Japanimation”. And this year 32 the 100th anniversary of the very first Japanese cartoon, made in 1917.In the past century, the wild imagination of Japanese animators continued to feed our 33 . Monsters, fairies, robots and magic feature often in their work. It hasalso been inspiring film industries in other parts of the world. The 34story of Disney’s The Lion King (1994), for example, actually comes from Japan’s Kimba the White Lion (《森林大帝》，1965). And the 1999 Hollywood 35 film,The Matrix, was also 36 influenced by the 1989 Japanese manga Ghost in theShell (《攻壳机动队》).“I love his films. I study his films. I watch his films when I’m looking for37 ,” John Lasseter, director of Pixar’s Toy Story, once said about famous Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki.And our 38 for this imaginary worldis only growing.At the end of last year, for example, the story of Japanese cartoon Pokemon (《宠物小精灵》，1997-) was brought to life with the help of augmented reality (AR，增强现实) technology. People in many countries are often seen searching for Pokemonin real life locations through the screens of their phones. They play it on theirway to school, to work, and during holiday outings. Although Pokemon began as a video game a year before the cartoon came out, people should give the animation a “Thanks” for bringing it to a wider audience.Besides being a source of entertainment, Japanese animation is also a 39 forceof our daily lives. For example, wearing glasses used to be considered as uncool andgeeky (书呆子气的), but after the 1981 TV animation Arale (《阿拉蕾》), in which there is a heavily-nearsighted (高度近视的) girl with wings and magic powers, glasses soon became fashionable. And the language we use – the word meng (萌), to name one –is also 40 from Japanese animation.But interestingly, with all the imagination that is so admired by modern fans,it would still be hard for Japanese animators in 1917 to believe that the two-dimensional worlds that they were creating at the time would have such a biginfluence in today’s three-dimensional world.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrasesmarked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits thecontext.Reading to me is all about personal growth. Growth through reading can take many41 .It can come from seeing the world through the eyes of someone else, thra newtruth or reconnecting with a truth long 42 . It can even come from an uncontained guffaw（狂笑）while reading a humorous passage. Growth through reading is not aboutreaching a certain level or reading so many minutes a day. It is 43 not aboutfinding one type of reaing material more valid than another. It’s about making something such an 44 part of your life that you don’t feel the need to quantity what you’re doing. You should read because you want to, not because you have to.At a recent workshop it was argued that, as adults, we often make the mistakeof 45 children to do things we don’t do ourselves. Before chastising(punishing) your child for watching videos or playing games, ask yourself how youuse your spare time. As adults we need to lead by example. When was the last timeyou 46 that 500-page classic instead of checking social media or watching television? If something isn’t good enough toe you or 47 your time, then whywould you like your children to feel 48 ?We a lso tend to forget that the journey can often be more illuminating 49 thatthe actual goal.This is definately the 50 with reading. I am not talking aboutthe journey that takes place within the pages of a book. I am t alking about the personal journey that is possible when a child finds something that 51 their interest,latches onto it-and in so doing discoveries new worlds they never knew existed. Theownership in discovering and exploring one’s own interests is magical.What does it 53 if a child is reading books that are “too easy” or “belowtheir level” if it still bring them joy? Why is that a bad thing? Yes, stagnation（停止，滞止）can hamper growth, but as adults that is where we can 53 and help.It is our duty to help 54 our child ren’s horizon’s by knowing what excites and drives them and then presenting them with new and exciting literary options withinthat context. Whatever your child likes to read-if it is “War and Peace,” magazines, comics, online articles, video game directions or th eback of a cereal box---taketaht, encourage it and build on it by introducing new 55 .
