He ___4___(educate) at the University of East Anglia ,a school that has become known for training writers.Ishiguro's writing is highly restrained.

They begin the process of getting rid of the invaders that may cause harm or infection. This lesson ___11___how antibodies work and the different kinds of antibodies.What Are Antibodies?Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are Y-shaped proteins that are produced by the immune system to help stop intruders from harming the body. When an intruder enters the body, the immune system ___12___into action. These invaders, which are called antigens (抗原), can be viruses, bacteria, or other chemicals. When an antigen is found in the body, the immune system will create antibodies to mark the antigen for the body to destroy.FunctionThe antibodies act sort of like the immune system’s scouts. They find antigens, stick to them, and ___13___for the immune system the ___14___type of antigen so that it can be destroyed. Each antibody is made for one and only one antigen, and it’s fitted with special receptors that will only ___15___to that antigen. For instance, a specific antibody is created to help destroy the chickenpox virus. Only that particular antibody will attack a chickenpox virus.How Antibodies Fight AntigensSo what happens when an antigen tries to enter the body? When it does, the immune system is ___16___. Chemical signals are sent to ___17___all the different parts of the immune system into action.First, the virus is met by a type of cell called B cells. The B cells are responsible for creating antibodies to match the antigen. Remember, each type of antibody matches to only one antigen. After the B cells have created their antibodies, the antibodies stick to the virus, marking it for the next round of ___18___. T cells are then ordered to attack the antigen that the antibodies have marked for it.After the antigen has been destroyed, the cleanup crew comes along. A wave of phagocytes large cells that can consume foreign matter, eats the ___19___of the infection.ImmunizationsAfter an infection is defeated, the antibodies still remain in the body. They are left there to wait in case that particular antigen returns. Immunizations take advantage of the fact that antibodies remain in the body after an infection is eradicated. Most immunizations consist of a weak or diluted form of an antigen-not enough of the antigen to make the patient sick, but just enough to trigger the creation of antibodies. This way, the bodycan____20____attack any form of the infection it encounters, stopping the infections before they begin.III.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later,she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.Ceely's near miss male the news because she blamed it on her GPS.She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily.Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing, “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train," she told the BBC.Who is to blame here Rick Stevenson, who telis Ceely's story in his book when Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it's not just GPS devices: Stovenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Coely for not paying attention Perhaps the railway authorities are fault for poor signaling system, Ormaybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn't say.It's a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it's also due to, the shortage of policemen on the streets, or changing social circumstances, or some combination of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.36. What did Paula Caely think was the cause of her accident?A. She was not familiar with the road.B. It was dark and raining heavily then.C. The railway workers failed to give the signal.D. Her GPS device didn't tell her about the crossing.37. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?A. Modern technology is what we can't live without.B. Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.C. Digital devices ere more reliable than they used to be.D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely's accident:38. In the writer's opinion, Stevenson's argument isA. one-sidedB. reasonableC. puzzlingD. well-based39. What is the real concern of the writer of this article?A. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.B. The relationship between human and technology.C. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.D The human unawareness of technical problems.(B)A Member of COMFORT DELGROComfortable airport & city transfers:Maxi Cab (scats 6 passengers)Booking Hotline:+65 6542 8297...or book at the Airport Shuttle counter at Terminal I or Terminal 2Maxi Cab Service RatesTransfer to Airport/other destination ＄35Hourly Service (per hour - minimum 2 hours) ＄35Applicable additional charges:－Between midnight to 6 am, an additional $12 per transfer or per hour－For en-route stop to final destination, an additional $5 per stop apply otherwise $20－Administrative changes of 10% of total fare for all Credit Card paymentsExclusive private tours in 6-neater Maxi Cabs. 4 seater Mercedes Limo Cabs and normal cabsFlexible pick up times and locationsExtension of additional attractions and restaurants upon request.Tours start from just $105 per vehicleBookingsCall: +65 6542 5831 or+ 65 6542 8297.sg40.

C. A Maxi Cab taxi tourist guide isn't allowed to add scenic spots on route. D. Specially-trained it taxi drivers operate various tours around Singapore. (C) When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his explanation was surprisinglystraight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuse, he came right out and said he was leaving “to pursue my goal of running a company.” Broadcasting his ambition was “very much my decision,” McGee says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29.McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kinds of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside world abou t his aspirations. And McGee isn’t alone. In recent weeks the No. 2 executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executiv es who don’t get the nod also may wish to move on. A turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. In the third quarter, CEO turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according to Liberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders.The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn Ferry, senior partner Denn is Carey: “I can’t think of a single search I’ve done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first.”Those who jumped without a job haven’t always landed in top positions quickly. Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana when the business became part of PepsiCo (PEP) a decade ago saying she wanted to be a CEO. It was a year before she became head of a tiny internet-based commodities exchange. Robert Willemstad left Citigroup in2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. He finally took that post at a major financial institution three years later.Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one. “The traditional rule was it’s safer to stay where you are,but that’s been fundamentally inverted,” says one headhunter. “The people who’ve been hurt the worst are those who’ve stayed too long.”43. When McGee announced his departure, his manner can best be described as being _______.A. arrogant.B. frank.C. self-centered.D. impulsive.44. According to Paragraph 2, senior executives’ quitting may be encouraged by _______.A. their expectation of better financial statusB. their need to reflect on their private lifeC. their strained relations with the boardsD. their pursuit of new career goals45. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.A. top performers used to cling to their postsB. loyalty of top performers is getting out-datedC. top performers care more about reputationsD. it’s safer to stick to the traditional rules46. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. CEOs; Where to Go?B. CEOs: All the Way Up?C. Top Managers Jump without a NetD. The Only Way Out for Top PerformersSection C（8% 每小题2分）Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A San Francisco Museum Tackles Art's Instagram DilemmaA woman held tightly her phone to her heart, the way a missionary might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of a stunning bouquet of flowers that sat not 10 ft away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others who were doing the same.___47___. For the 34th year, florists were asked to create bouquets that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. A tower of baby's breath imitates a waterfall in a nearby painting by Gustav Grunewald. Red flamingo flowers and neon blue sticks echo a surreal portrait of a woman by Salvador Dali.It’s amazing and also extremely Instagrammable, to the point that it has become a problem. ___48___. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge draw for museums as well as something that upsets some of their sponsors.So the de Young responded with a kind of agreement: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.One common complaint in the ongoing debates over the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is truth to this. It found that people who took photos of an exhibit rather than simply observing it had a harder time remembering what they saw.___49___. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing, communications and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a selfie playland”. Yet a lot of other people do, and her take is that the de Young is in no position to claim that one motivation for buying a $28 ticket is more valid than another.If we removed social media and photography, she says, “we should risk becoming irrelevant”. ___50___. On this visit to the museum, most people seemed to treat the photo craze as the new normal. Many politely waited their turn and got out of other people’s shots,even as visitors bumped into each other in crowded galleries.A. If this is a battle, signs indicate that the pro-phone crowd has already won.B. But rather than expressing frustration about this awkwardness, she said she felt guilty, as if she were the one challenging convention.C. In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit.D. The cause of this recent craze was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular annual events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.E. The truth is people like selfies more than the exhibits way beyond researchers' imagination.F. But the issue is complicated for the professionals running museums.IV. Summary Writing（10分）51. Directions: Reading the following passage. Summarize the idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.The UN's Millennium Development Goals included the ambition that by 2015 all the world's children would complete primary school. This has largely been achieved: nine out of ten children are now enrolled. Alas, the figure is not as impressive as it sounds. Even though most of the world's children go to school, an awful lot of them learn pretty much nothing there. According to a recent World Bank study of seven sub-Saharan African countries, half ofnine-year-olds cannot read a simple word and three-quarters cannot read a simple sentence. The reason is terrible teaching: only 7% of teachers studied had the minimum knowledge needed to teach reading and writing effectively.Paying teachers more, in the hope of recruiting better ones, is not the answer. In poor countries, teachers are wellpaid by local standards—annual salaries are four times GDP per person in India. Nor does raising or reducing pay seem to make much difference: neither a sharp cut in Pakistan in the late 1990s nor a sharp increase in Indonesia after 2005 had any impact on learning outcomes.Several recent studies suggest ed-tech can help. It seems to bring about big improvements in poor countries. In a study of a range of interventions in poor countries—including smaller class sizes, incentives for teachers and pupils—tech had the biggest effect.Some of the scarce resources being spent on teachers could therefore be better spent on ed-tech. That does not mean dumping computers on schools in the hope that children will understand how to use them, a misconception on which plenty of money has been wasted. Instead, it means providing schools with software that children can use with minimal help from adults, that gets things right more often than the teachers do, that adjusts itself to the children’s ability, that sends teachers hints about what they are supposed to be teaching.Technology is no cure all. Good traditional teacher are not out of date, and are never likely to be. And authorities need to hold teachers to account. But ed-tech can help greatly—by assisting the best teachers and, most importantly, making up for the failings of the worst.第II卷（共40分）I.

He wants to visit all of the more than 400 properties operated by the National Park Service.He spent January 2017 visiting historic areas in the southeastern United States.One of his first stops was Fort Sumter, ____1____ former military position in waters just off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. Fort Sumter is famous for being the place where the first shot of the Civil War____2____(fire). It is also ____3____ the first person killed in the conflict died.After years of rising tensions between Northern and Southern states, the two sides clashed in Charleston Harbor on April 12, 1861.

A. management B. fund C. supervision D. laborSection 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.AFamily violence and abuse prevention strategies are focused at three levels: the general population, specific groups thought to be at high risk for abuse, and families who have already experienced abuse. Public education and media campaigns aimed at the general population convey the criminal nature of domestic assault, suggest ways to prevent abuse, and identify where abuse victims can get help. However, to prevent or reduce family violence, education, elements of American culture that contribute to such violence must change. For example, violence in the media must be controlled or eliminated, and traditional gender roles and views of women and children as property must be replaced with egalitarian gender roles and respect for women and children.Another cultural change is to reduce violence-related stress by reducing poverty and unemployment and by providing adequate housing, nutrition, media care, and educational opportunities for everyone. Though programs such as Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) were not designed to prevent domestic violence and abuse, “they provide important assistance to low income families and thus supp ort the functioning of these families.” Integrat ing families into networks of community would also enhance family’s well-being and provide support for families under stress.What social interventions are available for families that are already experiencing abuse or neglected? Abused women and children may seek relief at a shelter or a safe house for abused women and children with housing, food, counseling services, legal assistance, employment assistance, and an environment that empowers women by encouraging them to make independent choices about their abusive relationships and about their future. Shelters also provide a communal living situation with other abused women, which reduces the sense of isolation and helps thewomen express their anger and overcome feelings of guilt and inadequacy. An alternative to shelter is a safe house, a private home of individuals who volunteer to provide temporary housing to abused women who decide to leave their violent homes. Battered men are not allowed to stay at women’s shelters, but many shelters help abused men by providing money for a motel room, counseling, and support services.36. The word “egalitarian” in the first paragraph most probably means “_______”.A. relating to economicsB. relating to everyday eventsC. having to do with legal contractsD. having to do with equal treatment37. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to directly reduce violence in families?A. Cutting down on violence in the mediaB. the AFDC programC. Reducing unemploymentD. Strengthening family ties38. According to the passage, which of the following statements does the writer seem to support?A. Providing women more wealth can largely reduce family abuse.B. Laws must be passed to prevent family abuse.C. Unfair attitude towards women is the only cause of family abuse.D. Women should be equally paid.39. The last paragraph is organized by ____.A. listing the order of events in helping abused womenB. defining the term “safe house”C. discussing the effects of family violenceD. listing social interventions available to help the abusedBMagical Harry Potter CompetitionHow to enterSimply draw your Patronus(保护神)in the postcard-sized space below.

Tanner Institute, in his book Great Work: How to Make a Difference People Love. Sturt insists, however, that great work is not just for surgeons or special-needs educators or the founders of organizations trying to eliminate poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. The central theme of Great Work, according to Sturt, is that anyone can make a difference in any job. It’s not the nature of the job, but what you do with the job that counts. As proof, Sturt tells the story of a remarkable hospital cleaner named Moses.In a building filled with doctors and nurses doing great life-saving work, Moses the cleaner makes a difference. Whenever he enters a room, especially a room with a sick child, he engages both patients and parents with his optimism and calm, in troducing himself to the child and, Sturt writes, speaking “little comments about light and sunshine an d making things clean.” He comments on any progress he sees day by day (“you’re sitting up today, that’s good.”) Moses is no doctor and doesn’t pretend t o be, but he has witnessed hundreds of sick children recovering from painful surgery, and parents take comfort from his encouraging words. For Matt and Mindi, whose son McKay was born with only half of a heart, Moses became a close friend. As Sturt explain s, “Moses took his innate (与生俱来的) talents (his sensitivity) and his practical wisdom (from years of hospital experience) and combined them into a powerful form of patient and family support that changed the critical-care experience for Mindi, Matt and little McKay.”How do people like Moses do great work when so many people just work? That was the central question raised by Sturt and his team at the O.C. Tanner Institute, a consulting company specialized in employee recognition and rewards system.O.C. Tanner launched an exhaustive Great Work study that included surveys to 200 senior executives, a furtherset of surveys to 1,000 managers and employees working on projects, an in-depth qualitative study of 1.7 million accounts of award-winning work (in the form of nominations (提名) for awards from corporations around the world), and one-on-one interviews with 200 difference makers. The results of the study revealed that those who do great work refuse to be defeated by the constraints of their jobs and are especi ally able to reframe their jobs: they don’t view their jobs as a list of tasks and responsibilities but see their jobs as opportunities to make a difference. No matter, as Moses so ably exemplifies (例证), what that job may be.43. According to Sturt,which of the following is TRUE? A. It’s not the nature of the job, but what you do that makes a difference.B. Anyone in the world is responsible to delete poverty and change the world.C. Anyone can make a difference in people’s lives no matter what kind of job he does.D. Surgeons, special-needs educators and founders of organizations can succeed more easily.44. According to this passage, how does Moses, a common hospital cleaner, make a difference in people’s lives?A. By keeping optimistic and calm when facing patients and their parents at hospital.B. By showing his special gift and working experience when working at hospital.C. By showing his sympathy and kindness to patients when entering their rooms.D. By pretending to be a doctor or nurse when entering a room with a sick child.45. The word “constraints” in the last paragraph probably refers to ______.A. demandsB. advantagesC. disadvantagesD. limitations46. What can we infer from the passage?A. Great work is work that makes a difference in people’s lives no matter what you do.B. If a boss has trouble recognizing his employees, he can ask O.C. Tanner for advice.C. Moses makes a difference through his sensitivity and his practical wisdom.D. Those who do great work are never defeated by others or their jobs themselves.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each Sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Mario on an iPhone? It worksThis was not supposed to happen. For years, fans had tried to persuade Nintendo, a Japanese company, to put Mario on smartphones. _________________47_________________. Until Dec. 15, when Nintendo released Super Mario Run, for Apple iPhones and iPads. The bigger surprise? Super Mario Run is excellent._____________________48_____________________. He is still the plumber who dashes from left to right across fields of grassy blocks, rivers of coins and so on. The difference is that Mario moves automatically as soon as a level loads, animated by an algorithm. Instead of controlling Mario directly, players tap to interrupt his motion and make more imaginative choices. A quick rap (连续敲击) makes Mario hop, while a longer one boosts him twice as high. If you need to clear a crack, tap mid air and he’ll pirouette (竖趾旋转) , flying a bit further. It’s intuitive.____________________49____________________. Tap near a wall or when landing on blocks painted with reverse arrows, for instance, and Mario springs backward, letting you break the game’s one-wayness. It’s smart, less-is-more design that plays to the strengths of touchscreen gaming without sacrificing precision. For all its hesitance in embracing smartphones and tablets, Nintendo seems to have had no trouble designing software for them.There is one fairly serious problem with Super Mario Run: the game works only with an active Internet connection. Sever(断绝) that and the game throws up an error screen.__________________50__________________. This means you can’t play Super Mario Run on a plane without paying for wi-fi. You’re out of luck for the part of your subway commute that involves cell-service dropouts.Other than that, Super Mario Run impresses in ways sure to convince that designing games on smartphones is still a rapidly evolving—and improving—art form.A. The simplicity masks deeper layers.B. This is the Mario those who grew up with Nintendo know best.C. Yes, you really can play one-handed.D. There’s no way around it.E. And for years,the company simply refused.F. However, not everyone likes its design. 第II 卷I.Summary (10’)51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage andhow it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.EnvyIt’s a familiar but uncomfortable feeling. Your best fr iend will marry a handsome doctor, and the congratulatory hug you offer lack s genuine warmth. Your friend is made the team for Saturday’s big game, and you take a certain pleasure in telling him you can’t be there to watch him play. You smile but a voice i n your head asks, why them and not you?。

Built by the Knights Templar, the church is divided into the Round---which contains the statues of crusading knights, who tried to recover the Holy Land from the Muslims in the Middle Ages and the Chancel, where the priests and singers performing in church services sit.Where: Temple EC4Y 7DEUnderground: Temple or BlackfriarsChelsea Physic GardenEndlessly satisfying the green-fingered, the plain curious or those eager to discover botanical interests in central London, this delightful walled garden was founded by the Apothecaries’Society in the 17th century and is one of the oldest botanical gardens in London.Where: 66 Royal Hospital Rd SW3 4HSUnderground: Sloane SquareEstorick Collection of Modern Italian ArtBuilt between 1953 and 1958, the Estorick is Britain’s only gallery devoted to Italian art.

With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books.4.What activity is less popular these days than before?A. Reading a book.B. Listening to the radio.C. Watching TV.D. Surfing the Internet.5..We can learn from the second paragraph that _______.A. reading can improve your memoryB. reading can make you interesting and attractiveC. reading can make you smarterD. reading can reduce stress6.The best title of the passage can be _________.A. People Should Enjoy ThemselvesB. How We Improve Reading SkillsC. Why People Should Read BooksD. What We Love Doing in Spare TimeCOne of my best friends went abroad to enjoy her holidays, so the job of looking after her dog Missy has been given to me. A few months ago, Missy came to my friend’s house. She looked terrible. She has been abused for a long time.When we first visited my friend and Missy, my friend had to gently pull her over on a lead (牵绳) to get her to come to us. She wanted to come but afraid to do so-the poor, beautiful thing. Clearly Missy came to the right home. My friend has given birth to a baby of his own and shows the love of a mother. This is just what Missy needs. Thanks to the love of my friend, she has changed into a new dog step by step. Sad ly, she is still afraid of strange humans. I hate to imagine what the dog must have gone through.Now, Missy trusts me completely, so I can touch her berry(肚皮).While standing, she will jump up so gently to be closer to me, putting her paws(爪子)on my legs as she looks at me with those beautiful eyes.Missy is really brave. She has the courage to try again, to open her hearts, and to know that not everyone is the same kind of people as before. Keep it in mind that tomorrow is another day.7.. The writer felt _________ when she first saw Missy.A. proud and relaxedB. sorry and caringC. afraid and angryD. sad and disappointed8. The writer thought it was good for Missy to stay with her friend __________.A. because her friend could offer the love of a mother to MissyB. because her friend had more free time to take care of MissyC. because her friend stayed long at home and felt quite lonelyD. because her friend helped Missy to accept different people9. The third paragraph mainly tells us _________.A. the writer has learned the skills to communicate with MissyB. the writer has made Missy understand and follow her ordersC. the writer has succeeded in winning the trust of MissyD. t h e writer has come to realize that Missy is a beautiful dog10. The underlined word " abused " in the first paragraph means．A．保护B．喂养C．虐待D．挨饿七选五What is the difference between happy people and unhappy people? 11 Read the following list of things that HAPPY people do differently from UNHAPPY people and you will know.Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, FEAR less and LOVE a lot more. They see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover（发现）more about themselves and the world around them 12Happy people understand that you can’t really change a situation by resisting（反抗）it. But they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason for its existence（存在）. 13 But rather, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this? How can I make this better? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them.They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so.14 They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. The fact here is that most of thetime they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most.15 They make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. They look for ways to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy.A. They have an ideal（理想的）living and a balanced life.B. What are the things that these people do differently?C. They are kind to themselves and others and they understand the power of love.D. The things happy people do are not for themselves, but for the good of others.E. They are ready to embrace(拥抱) whatever lies in front of them.F. They understand that “Doing what you love is the most impor tant for living a full life”.G. When something unpleasant（不愉快的）happens to them, they don’t try to fight （打仗，对抗）it, knowing that this will make the situation even worse.第二部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）How military(军事的) training makes us confidentThe sun was shining brightly over our heads and sweat（汗水）was pouring off our backs and faces.

The innovative, egg-shaped pods ensure travelers can camp in the most extreme corners of the world, with all the luxury of a hotel room.Looking like something in a sci-fi movie, the pod is equipped with solar panels, and a retractable wind turbine, which guarantee solar and wind energy as its power. In this way, the tiny home can let you live comfortably wherever you travel. It even has its own shower and toilet, sleeping area for two, and a small kitchen. It may look like a camp, but at least with the Ecocapsule you can look forward to a hot shower and running water on your travels.The 3,306 lb pods can be transported on your travels in a container or can be towed on a trailer, meaning the possibilities are endless.Bratislava-based Nice Architects are behind the extraordinary Ecocapsules and said they initially designed them for people who stay in the nature for a long time. However, it quickly became apparent that they could be opened up to the wider public and even used in urban areas to combat high rent, and placed on roofs for studio space or living quarters. The Ecocapsule can serve as a cottage, a pop-up hotel or even as a charging station for electric cars.The Ecocapsules could even be quickly imported for housing for emergency teams who have been quickly deployed to help with natural disasters that have destroyed nearby infrastructure. Described by the website as a “Swiss Army knife”— it packs everything you need, the self-contained unit can sustain long periods of time without external resources.The 86 soft pods are able to sleep two people for up to a year and for those worried about a cold night’s sleep, the Ecocapsule has a thick layer of efficient heat isolation and energy restoration which significantly reduce heat loss.The pod is designed to with stand harsh weather conditions due to its innovative design and materials used.

For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to "read" people from another culture as we would "read" someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key isto try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of "reading" the other person incorrectly.12.What does the smile usually mean in America?A.Love.B.Politeness.C.Joy.D.Thankfulness.13.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .A.show friendliness to strangersB.be used to hide true feelingsC.be used in the wrong placesD.show personal habits14.What should we do before attempting(尝试) to "read" people?A.Learn about their relations with others.B.Understand their cultural backgrounds.C.Find out about their past experience.D.Figure out what they will do next.15.What would be the best title for the test?A.Cultural DifferencesB.Smiles and RelationshipC.Facial ExpressivenessD.Habits and Emotions第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

That’s exactly why Americans waste up to 40% of eatable food every year. This unbelievable number has sparked the “ugly food” movement, and inspired many companies to sell misshapen fruit and vegetables to consumers, rather than throw them in the trash.One San Francisco organization is taking a unique approach to this idea. The Salvage Supperclub hosts fancy dinners inside dumper truck (卸车) where they serve dishes entirely prepared with food that would have otherwise gone to waste.Josh Treuhaft, founder of these ugly food dinners, originally came up with the idea 10 bring awareness to America’s food waste problem. “There is undeveloped potential in their food that for some reason, not to their own fault, is going to waste,” he told Seeker’s Laura Ling.Treuhaft isn’t alone in his effort to reduce America’s food waste. A Change, org last year willed for Whole Foods to become part of the ugly food movement. They sold misshapen fruit and vegetables in Northern California stores.Selling imperfect produce is still relatively rare right now, which can be partially due to a supply issue rather than a lack of willing participants. Raley’s, a Sacramento-based grocery chain, started an ugly food pilot program called “Real Good”, but discontinued it after 90 days saying they had “some challenges sourcing the product”. A grower might have largeamounts of ugly produce one year due to terrible weather, but much less the next year if the weather has been more ideal. Harvests constantly vary and retailers are more likely to buy ugly produce in large number rather than just a few pounds at a time.This is why organizations like Imperfect Produce and Salvage Supperclub are playing an important role in the prevention of food waste. Salvage Supperclub takes it a step further by not only buying the ugly produce, but turning it into a good dining experience as well.24.What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A.People usually prefer Rood-looking produce.B.Gnarled carrots mostly appear in the supermarket.C.Many companies find new business opportunities.D.Americans eat less fruit and vegetables than expected.25.Why does the Salvage Supperclub have dinners inside the dumper truck?A.To prove his fancy idea.B.To remind people not to waste.C.To show waste can be eaten.D.To advise people lo dine in dumper truck.26.What’s Josh Treuhaft’s advice to reduce America’s food waste?A.People should reduce the ugly food.B.People should make full use of ugly food.C.People should be more aware of food shortage.D.People should develop their potential in producing food.27.Why did Raley’s stop its “Real Good” after 90 days?A.Retailers’ pursuing larger profit.B.Bad harvests due to bad weather.ck of steady sources of produce.D.People’s unwillingness to buy imperfect produce.CTaking a break during the workday is important but how often do we actually make the time to do it？For most, an eight-hour workday just doesn't seem like enough and we end up sacrificing moments of peace to make room for more moments of productivity, but according to a new study, skipping that lunch break could actually be hurting our performance.Amazing as it may seem, taking time away from work to enjoy a short walk or a few minutes of mindful thought throughout the day can actually have positive effects on your end of day concentration and help you feel less tired after you are off work.Scientists tasked workers in intellectually (智力上地) demanding fields-education, engineering and finance-with taking a short 15-minute walk or doing 15 minutes of mindful thinking during their lunch breaks every day for two weeks.The participants were asked to report how they were feeling near the end of the day during, before and after the study.They also filled out a short questionnaire every night, asking how much they enjoyed their lunch break The results：those who took a break to walk or mindfully relax were significantly less stressed and able to perform better at the end of the workday than those who took no breaks.Mindful relaxation in particular helped people feel less anxious at the end of the day.According to the study, walk in nature can lead to"attention restoration"—recovery from cognitive（认知的）overload after focus and mindful relaxation can increase our positive feelings, relieve stress and start focus.So the next time you think you should skip your lunch break to get that big project done, take a breath and consider giving yourself a moment of peace. It might just make youa more productive employee.28.What phenomenon is mainly described in the first paragraph?A.Overwork for productivity.B.Better performance on jobs.C.Inappropriate working ways.D.Peaceful work environment.29.What may make people more relaxed after work?A.Their walk with their colleagues.B.Their good food for lunch.C.Their timely relaxation.D.Their whole devotion.30.Why did the scientists test the workers?A.To check their physical health.B.To see the effect of lunch break.C.To see how long they relax daily.D.To check if they live an active life.31.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To tell how to perform better.B.To show the importance of attention.C.To introduce the life of employees.D.To advise people to take a lunch break during work.DI looked at my beautiful Christmas tree and sighed.It was time.The New Year was a week old and my tree still stood in the corner of our room with its collection of memories proudly displayed in a shower of colorful lights.I’d procrastinated long enough.I got up, went to the garage and dragged all the boxes into the room.The garland (花环)was the first to come down.The tree looked naked (光秃秃的) already.I took the large ornaments off next.They made a large pile on our bed.An hour later, our bed was covered with Christmas memories.Each pile contained an ornament along with its matching brothers and sisters from sets purchased many years ago.I prepared the boxes and carefully placed ornaments in their protective packaging, pausing every few minutes to admire a favorite.“Hey, little Santa!” I held the Santa from my childhood.“Thanks for being my friend for almost 50 years.” He was a little ragged (衣着破烂的) but still gives me a flood of wonderful memories.“Until next year, my dear friend.”There was a collection of handmade ones.My children made in their first years of school, more than 20 years ago.Made by tiny hands, they are far from perfect in design, but every year they go on my memory tree – memories of young giggles on Christmas morning and a smiling face when they handed them to me when I came home from work.“Look what we made, Daddy!”“Oh! It is beautiful.Let’s find a special spot on the tree for it.” Every year since, they are displayed.A few hours after I started, the filled boxes were back in the garage, the room was vacuumed (用吸尘器清扫) and I sat staring at a barren (空荡荡的) corner.The room seemed so empty.It took me two days of work to assemble (收集) and decorate my tree, but only a few hours to take it apart.My tree is a good marriage or a great friendship.Like the tree, they take a long time to assemble and decorate with memories, but can be torn down quickly.Every year I have to put my tree away, but not my marriage or friendships.I take great care of those.They get to glow in the corner of my life for as long as I live.I get to analyze my tree and find memories for a few weeks every year.I can do the same with the loves in my life every day.Take great care of your friendships and your marriage.Once they come down, they aren’t as easy to put back together as a Christmas tree.Stand them in that special spot in the corner of your heart and admire their glow.32.In the author’s eyes, the Christmas tree _____.A.is a collection of childhood memoriesB.is a symbol of long-lasting relationsC.takes too much time to decorateD.is full of out-of-date ornaments33.The underlined word “procrastinated” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.A.reflectedB.celebratedC.decoratedD.delayed34.To the author, a Christmas tree is similar to a good marriage in that ______.A.both take time to build but fall apart easilyB.both remind him of bittersweet memoriesC.both need to be admired for some timeD.both get less attractive over the years35.What is the main theme of the article?A.We’d better put away Christmas decorations and recycle them each year.B.Friendships and marriages should be valued and managed carefully.C.Memories with friends and family should be cherished and relived.D.We should decorate Christmas trees with personal stuff and recycle.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。
