21．（6分）The woman didn’t like us. We didn’t do anything to offend her and she didn’t know us but that didn’t matter. As new female teachers in the Emirati School, we Westerners greeted her every day.Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us. Eventually, some of us stopped trying to befriend her.Well after 16 months in the school, we had a secret pal gifting. I drew her name from the glass jar and that meant she was my secret pal. My role was to buy her a gift and say something about her when we publicly acknowledged who our secret pal was.I bought her a small rose arrangement and asked someone to write a message on it and then sent it to her room. She was so touched. Next day I sent a bottle of shampoo but I wrote the message in English because she needed to know her secret pal was a Westerner before the day of the “big reveal”. I also sent her a fragrant candle.I had brought a few gifts from Ireland when I returned to the Middle East in September. I decided to gift her a silver coloured bangle.Then came the day of the “big reveal”. We all gathered in the staff meeting room and everyone was excited. The host s aid, “Several days ago, when you received your gift, you wrote a few kind words about your secret pal and passed the gift to them.” She taught music in the school so I said, “My secret pal is someone who brings music to our ears every day of the week.” I didn’t even need to say her name because everyone knew exactly who I meant.She came forward with a huge warm smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and graciously accepted my gifts. I think everyone’s understanding of things is subjective, so we should have more communication with people around us.1、How did the woman respond to the Westerners greetings?A．She blamed them. B．She kept away from seeing their eyes.C．She treated them kindly. D．She avoided meeting them again.2、What was the author supposed to do after knowing the name of her secret friend?A．Prepare a gift for her. B．Write a speech about her.C．Find out who it is. D．Chat with her.3、Why did the author write the message in English in paragraph 3?A．To show other teachers her identity.B．To teach the woman some English.C．To let the woman know her nationality.D．To make other teachers better understand her intention.4、What was the woman’s attitude towards the author at last?A．Friendly. B．Doubtful.C．Regretful. D．Forgiving.22．（8分）If you feel yourself turning into an old grouch(脾气坏的人), don’t worry — happiness is just around the bend. A survey has found that although happiness dips in those in their 30s and 40s, people start to feel more content with life after the age of 50.However an economist found that older people will never again regain the excitement of youth. Rather it is thought that with age, individuals become more pragmatic about the ups and downs that life brings and accept their fortune.He questioned those in Britain, Switz erland and Germany and applied the findings to people’s life cycle.Mr. Van Landeghem, 29, said:“A happiness curve does not necessarily imply that a 65-year-old prefers his own life to the life of a 25-year-old.”“Both the 25-year-old and 65-year-old might agree that it is nicer to be 25 than to be 65. But te65-year-old might nevertheless be more satisfied, as he has learned to be satisfied with what he has.”It was suggested the mid-life happiness dip is because this is when people have the most responsibilities — taking care of a family, paying a mortgage (抵押贷款) and having a demanding career. The middle-aged dip in happiness was also compared to that of losing a close relative or suddenly becoming unemployed.The study is just one of many put forward as an indicator of what makes for a happy life.Psychologists concluded that having money makes you happier, but only if you have a lot more than your friends and neighbors. At the same time, you’d better have enough tie to enjoy yourself instead of spending all your time on making money.Separate research found that owning the house of your dreams, the car you always longed for and having millions in the bank doesn’t stop that desire to keep up with the Joneses (攀比). And if the Joneses have more than you do, you’ll be miserable. It seems e nvy at being lower in the social pecking order (权势等级) reduces the satisfaction of being well off.If you just do what you love and you are good at, which society also values much, you may have a higher probability to be happy. But if your job pays less, how can you stick to it in disregard of responsibilities? Happiness means different things from different points of view, and point of view grows from one’s experience and knowledge. Perhaps it comes with you when you don’t need to think about adult problems or when you are wise enough to understand what satisfaction is.1、The underlined word “pragmatic” in paragraph 2 may mean ________.A．realistic B．concerned C．nervous D．careful2、According to the passage, people in their 30s and 40s ________.A．may feel it more difficult to experience happinessB．may sense happiness declines owing to other complicated factorsC．start to realize responsibility and risk mean happinessD．may associate happiness with money and status and risk pursuing happiness3、It is implied in the passage that ________.A．happiness comes when you complain lessB．life is full of ups and downs in factC．a sense of responsibility brings you happinessD．competing with others often makes you blue4、What makes for a happy life?A．One’s family.B．One’s money.C．One’s wisdom.D．One’s status.5、The best title for the passage may be ________.A．happiness is U-shapedB．happiness is an experienceC．happiness makes you satisfiedD．happiness can be won by yourself23．（8分）On January 13, 2016, France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate food that is approaching its expiration date (保质期) instead of throwing it away. The regulation that applies to supermarkets over 4,000 square feet requires stores to sign official donation agreements with local food banks.The law also makes it illegal for stores to pour water over nearly-expired food, or store it inside locked warehouses until it is picked up by the garbage trucks. These measures are often undertaken by supermarkets to prevent the hungry from searching for food through the dustbins.Though that may appear cruel, the stores claim they do it to avoid potential food poisoning that could occur if the product is on its way past its expiry. Those who do not obey the new law face the risk of heavy fines.Also, excess goods like yogurt or milk that are likely to go bad quickly are now allowed to be donated directly to the food banks. Though this has always been possible, the current process is long and complex, making it difficult for producers to give away the food in a timely manner.France’s food banks are of course thrilled about the possibility of receiving extra food. Jacques Bailet, who heads a network of French food banks called the Banques Alimentaires, says that of the 110,000 tons of goods received annually, only 36,000 tons comes from supermarkets. Bailet estimates (估计) that just a 15%increase in supermarket donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban, is not done. He now wants to extend the law to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations. These steps are necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in France; an astonishing 67% is thrown away by consumers, with supermarkets and restaurants making up the rest.1、What should stores do with nearly-expired food?A．Throw it away. B．Send it to the hungry.C．Store it in refrigerators. D．Give it away to food banks.2、What does the underlined word “excess” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Extra. B．Cheap.C．Seasonal. D．Returned.3、What might Bailet agree with about the French food banks?A．They have a lot of expired food.B．They will get much benefit from the law.C．Their food is enough for the people in need.D．Their food mainly comes from supermarkets.4、What does Dermabarsh plan to do?A．Build more food banks in France.B．Make the law take effect in more places.C．Organize a campaign to promote this law.D．Raise consumers awareness of waste reduction.24．（8分）Japan has long been known for both its strong traditions and being on the cutting edge of technology, and this new inn combining the classic Japanese surroundings with high-tech slippers and furniture is a perfect reflection of this.Nissan Motor Co. developed a system in which slippers park themselves at the entrance of the traditional inn, called “ProPilot Park Ryokan,” waiting for guests to use them upon arrival. When guests have finished using them, the slippers will drive themselves back to their original position. Each slipper features two tiny wheels, a motor, and sensors to drive it across the wooden floor.The same technology features in Nissan’s all-battery electric Leaf car. High-tech sensors and cameras allow the vehicle to safely back into parking spaces without any input from the driver. Four cameras and 12 sensors assess the vehicle’s surroundings. ProPilot Park handles the accelerator, braking and steering (转向)input when the car is parking. Drivers operate the system with the press of a button, which they must hold down the entire time. Lifting a finger off the button will result in the car stopping immediately.The inn, located in the resort town of Hakone, about 75 kilometers southwest of Tokyo, is currently most famous for its view of Mount Fuji. However, the new self-driving slippers, released by Nissan in March, is the unique feature of the high-tech inn.“The self-parking slippers are meant to raise awareness of automated driving technologies, and their potential, non-driving applications,” Nissan spokesman Nick Maxfield said in a statemen t.In addition to the slippers, office chairs, floor cushions and traditional low tables in the inn also wheel themselves back into place after use.1、What is the typical feature of the slippers?A．They are eco-friendly. B．They are automatic.C．They are recyclable. D．They are rechargeable.2、How can a driver stop the Nissan’s electric Leaf car?A．By pressing a button. B．By using the brake of the car.C．By removing the finger from the button. D．By handling the accelerator.3、Why did Nissan develop the slippers according to Nick Maxfield?A．To attract more customers.B．To advertise the Nissan Motor Co.C．To lessen work load of the workers.D．To promote non-driving technologies.4、What can we know about the inn mentioned in the text?A．It uses robots to serve the guests.B．It is famous for its good service.C．It is a combination of tradition and modem.D．It is known for its beautiful decoration.25．（10分）Vinegar is great. It makes salad, fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even clean your wi ndows with it. And now, according to scientists, it may even help the planet’s population survive climate change. Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan proved that. They found growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the world’s supply of food will be much lower.The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produceda chemical called acetate (醋酸盐)—the main component of vinegar.After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died.It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help fanners in dry countries keep their crops alive. “In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize… and proved successful” Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.Kim has already been in touch with people around the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from farmers to companies and amateur gardeners. “Now we are trying to cooperate with them to make a method to apply this system, and make the process as simple as possible,” he said. Hopefully this means the end of hunger caused by bad weather in the future.1、What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?A．Vinegar may help creatures survive bad weather.B．Vinegar is found in plants by Japanese scientists.C．Vinegar is very useful for cooking a good meal.D．Vinegar is mainly used by people to clean houses.2、Scientists in Japan find from their studies that .A．the Arabidopsis could survive in dry weather because of the shapeB．soil condition could be changed by pouring vinegar continuallyC．the acetate can be used by farmers to replace the soilD．the plants treated with acetate could survive dry conditions3、What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．It’s too difficult for farmers to accept the method.B．How to decrease the cost is the main issue.C．The method is promising especially in agriculture.D．Keeping plants alive means a lot for scientists.4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Japanese Scientists Find a PlantB．Vinegar Could End HungerC．Vinegar and FoodD．Plants Need Water第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fastin his new Jaguar.
