Section A
Directions: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.
"How should a Nobel laureate dress?" asked Kazuo Ishiguro, who, 40 minutes earlier, had found out he ____21____(award) the Nobel Prize for Literature.
To say the news was unexpected is an understatement. He literally couldn't believe it. ____22____, that was, his phone began to ring constantly, an orderly queue of TV crews started to form outside his front door ("how do they all know where I live?"), and his publishers dispatched a top team to his house as back-up.
This was not fake news. This was delightful, surprising news. Maybe there were others who should ____23____(win) instead, he wondered. "But that is the nature of prizes. They are a lottery."
____24____ chaos reigned around him, he was calm, assured and thoughtful, ____25____(talk) (after nipping upstairs to fetch a smart jacket for our interview) about his belief in the power of stories and ____26____ those that he wrote would often explore wasted lives and opportunities.
"I've always had ____27____ faith that it should be possible, if you tell stories in a certain way, to transcend barriers of race, class and ethnicity."
For me, he is one of the great living writers working in any language. All writers can tell stories. Ishiguro tells stories on ____28____ level.
He places the reader in some sort of alternative reality --- which might be the future, it might be the present, it might be the past. They feel like places that are whole and real, ____29____ you don't know them.
They're weird and not necessarily happy places. But they're places that you can inhabit and relate to, and you become deeply involved with the characters. That's the writer's job --- he just does it ____30____(good) than most.
【答案】21. had been awarded 22. .Until 23. should have won 24. .While/Though/ Although25. Talking 26. how 27. a 28.another29. but30. better
【分析】21.根据句意判断，Kazuo Ishiguro已经被授予诺贝尔文学奖，表示动作的完成，又因为之前是过去式，所以空格处填写的是过去完成时，答案为had been awarded 。

22.根据句意判断，“直到他的电话响起，电视台的工作人员整齐的排成一列在他的门外”，主从句都为一般过去时，没有明显的先后顺序，所以答案为until。

23.根据句意判断，理解为“其他人本应该赢却没有获胜”，should have done，本应该却没有，答案为have won。

26.根据句意判断，理解为“他谈论着关于对股市的力量的信念以及那些他写的书是关于如何去探索浪费的生命和机会的”，后半句是一句完整的句子，可以用关系副词，所以答案为how。

27.根据句意判断，“我常常有一个信念，如果你用某种特定的方式去讲故事，超越竞争、阶级、种族的障碍是有可能的”，所以答案是a。

28.根据句意判断，Kazuo Ishiguro是现在活着的能用任何语言写作的最好的作家之一，所有的作家都能写故事，而他是写故事到达了另一个水平高度了。

因此答案为another。

29.根据句意判断，“他能把读者置身于另一个现实中，比如过去、未来、现在，他们会觉得那样的现实是完整和真实的，但是你并不知道这些现实是怎么样的”，but表转折，所以答案为but。

30.句中than，用比较级，所以答案为better。

III. 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.
A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not ____41____ anyone who has seen the doggy parlors(客厅) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, are ____42____ to their pets.
This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food or, at least, are ____43____ less nutritious. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, ____44____ veterinary(兽医的) bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel ____45____ with this when one considers what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is ____46____ for me to get hot under the collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog home.
There are a variety of reasons why I find the popularity of British pets ____47____. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies --- a disease with no known cure --- that has made the English government impose strict ____48____ on animals coming into the United Kingdom.

46.根据句意判断，前一句表达了英国人在宠物身上花了很多钱，这很难不让人感觉不开心，如果有同样这些钱可以给挨饿受饥以及贫穷的人，所以“当我看到老人把自己所有的钱都花在了宠物的房子上时，对我来说让人很生气是很自然的事”，所以答案选择b。

47.根据后文文意判断，宠物会引起很多疾病以及其他危害，所以此句话可理解为“我发现有许多原因为什么英国的宠物不被接受”，所以答案为C。

Section 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.
A
Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images. Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parent’s educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads,” Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.
56. Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?
A. Radio-listening.
B. Television-watching.
C. Parents’ reading list.
D. Parents’ educational background.
57. Anderson believes that ______.
A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is
B. the younger a child is, the more he watches TV
C. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV
D. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school
58. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advise on the educational use of TV.
B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.
C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.
D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.
【答案】56-58 DCD
【分析】56.段意理解题，文章第三段表达了孩子的阅读能力与看电视无关，而是与家长的教育背景有很大的关系，所以答案为D。

57.判断推理题，文章第四段Anderson表达了这样的观点“如果你是个聪明的年轻人，在你年纪越大的时候看
的电视越少”，反观四个选项，只有选项C“一个孩子越聪明，看电视越少”，所以答案为C。

58.主旨总结题，全文都在表达Anderson的电视对于孩子的影响没有那么大的观点，与传统观点不同，所以
答案为D。

B
A hospital has been forced to ban Pokemon Go players from the site after a monster hub(妖怪枢纽站) was found in the A&E department. Royal Stoke University Hospital discovered that its casualty unit(急诊室) is on the same spot as a Pokemon Go ‘gym’ --- where players can train their newly caught Nintendo creatures.
The University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust agreed last week that patients can play Pokemon Go on wards because walking around is healthy. But the Trust has been forced to post a warning on its website about public access to A&E. It said if Pokemon Go becomes a major annoyance it would ask Nintendo --- which decides on the locations of the virtual gyms according using GPS --- to have it removed from the premises (道馆).
Kevin Parker, associate chief nurse, said, “Members of the public who do no t need to be at Royal Stoke should not attempt to enter A&E or any other part of the hospital building to play the game. The A&E department is incredibly busy this summer. We want the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital solely to play the game will provide an unwanted distraction to the important work of the hospital. I’m also aware of various reports in the media of unsafe areas that the game has been played in.”
“Royal Stoke University Hospital is a safe area where gamers can enjoy Pokemon Go.” Michelle Harris, the Trust’s manager, said the game could still be played by those already in hospital. “We recognize that the Pokemon Go game encourages walking and exercise, which is something that the Trust is equally keen to promote,” she s aid.
There are a number of “walking routes” established throughout the Trust that can be used to combine walking and playing the game. “Walking just 30 minutes, five times a week, can help reduce the risk of preventable illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.”
There have been several warnings about the game since its UK release. Last week a group of teenagers in Wiltshire were left stranded almost 100ft underground after they got carried away searching for Pokemon Go characters. The four boys, aged 16 and 17, ended up getting lost and had to wait to get a phone signal before they could call for help. Eventually, they contacted Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue team, who took them to safety. Damien Bence, of the fire and rescue team, said: “Pokemon Go is obviously leading people into dangerous situations.”
59. It seems that Pokemon Go is a game______.
A. designed to help patients in hospital recover sooner
B. helping cure such diseases as obesity, diabetes and heart disease
C. encouraging players to walk and exercise instead of staying indoors
D. warning teenagers of the places easy to get lost or attacked
60. The A&E department is incredibly busy because________.
A. more patients’ arrival increases the workload of the A&E department
B. doctors’ playing the game makes the A&E department less efficient
C. players’ injury increases the workload of the A&E department
D. players’ arrival disturbs the work of the A&E department
61. The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means_______.
A. hurt
B. disturbed
C. trapped
D. threatened
62. The passage is mainly about________.
A. the negative effects of Pokemon Go since its UK release
B. the applications of Pokemon Go in hospitals since its UK release
C. the popularity of Pokemon Go since its UK release
D. the establishment of Pokemon Go virtual gyms since its UK release
【答案】59-62 CDCA
【分析】59.文章第二段描述医院允许病人玩Pokemon Go因为走路对他们来说很健康，由此推断出这是一个鼓励玩家通过游戏来锻炼身体的游戏，所以答案选C。

60.文章第三段Kevin Parker表达了每个到医院来完成游戏任务的会给医院的重要工作造成打扰，所以答案选D。

61.词义判断，后文写到四个男孩最后迷路了，只能在找到手机信号以后寻求帮助，最后他们联系了Dorset和
Wiltshire Fire和营救队伍才让他们脱离危险，所以划线词应该是被困住，所以答案为C。

62.全文都在讲述Pokemon Go这个游戏开放后对医院造成的困扰以及对于不安全地方玩家被困事件，最后文末
“Pokemon Go吧人们带进了危险的境地”，所以都是在说这个游戏带来的不好的影响，所以答案选A。

C
While still catching-up to men in some spheres of modern life, women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category. “Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men,” according to Dr. Yehuda, chief psychiatrist at New York’s Veteran’s Administration Hospital.
Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stress response, causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions. In several of the studies, when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries (the female reproductive organs) removed, their chemical responses became equal to those of the males.
Adding to a woman’s increased dose of stress chemicals, are her increased “opportunities” for stress. “It’s not necessarily that women don’t cope as well. It’s just that they have so much more to cope with,” says Dr. Yehuda. “Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men’s,” she observes, “it’s just that they’re dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and sooner.”
Dr. Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes. “I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic or repeated nature. Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress. Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence. The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by, unfortunately, parents or other family members, and they tend not to be one-shot deals. The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relationships can be quite devastating.”
Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son, but was determined to finish college. “I struggled a lot to get the college degree. I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape, to go to school, and get ahead and do better.” Later, her marriage ended and she became a single mother. “It’s the hardest thing to take care of a teenager, have a job, pay the rent, pay the car payment, and pay the debt. I lived from paycheck to paycheck.”
Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses Alvarez describes. But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations, with few breaks, and feeling the strain. Alvarez’s experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function.
63.Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?
A. Women are biologically more vulnerable to stress.
B. Women are still suffering much stress caused by men.
C. Women are more experienced than men in coping with stress.
D. Men and women show different inclinations when faced with stress.
64.According to Paragraph 4, the stress women confront tends to be ________.
A. domestic and temporary.
B. irregular and violent.
C. durable and frequent.
D. trivial and random.
65.The sentence “I lived from paycheck to paycheck.” shows that ________.
A. Alvarez cared about nothing but making money.
B. Alvarez’s salary barely covered her household expenses.
C. Alvarez got paychecks from different jobs.
D. Alvarez paid practically everything by check.
66.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Strain of Stress: No Way Out?
B. Responses to Stress: Gender Difference
C. Stress Analysis: What Chemicals Say
D. Gender Inequality: Women Under Stress
【答案】63-66 ACBD
【分析】63.文意判断总结，文章前两段描述了女性在压力下身体会产生比男性更多的化学物质，会更容易受影响，所以答案选A，意为女性生物学上在压力下更易受伤。

64.段意理解题，文章第四段描述了女性目前暴露的环境倾向于长期和重复的自然中，所以答案选C。

65.段意理解题，第五段主要讲述了Adeline在成为单身妈妈以后需要挣钱养家，支付各种家庭费用和债，所
以她的薪水几乎都花在家用上了，答案为C。

66.标题总结题，全文都在围绕女性在压力下的表现，所以答案为D。

Section C
Directions: In the following passage, some sentences have been removed. Choose the most suitable one from the list A-F to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the blanks.
Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?” ____67____
There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world;
others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. ____68____ He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad(少年) offered to take his place. ____69____
____70____ If the lad had gone home to ponder(考虑)his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.
Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs (美差). When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company’s faults. And within a year this person had become general manager of the company.
【答案】67-70 BDFA
【分析】67.第二段开始介绍各种求职方式，所以此空格处答案为B.

69.作为男孩想成为船长的故事结尾，他过上了他喜欢的水手生活，所以答案为F。

70.后文描述了如果少年回家考虑，可能就错失机会了，最重要的是机会来了要抓住，所以答案选A.
IV. Summary Writing (15分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 70 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was, thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546.Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist, encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground. (302 words)
