During that time, I helped out with the housework and contributed to the groceries.After less than a week, I started noticing that the groceries were running out pretty quickly —we were always suddenly out of something. (25)_______(wonder) how my mum could consume them so quickly, I began observing her daily routine for two weeks. To my surprise, I found that she would pack a paper bag full of canned goods and head out every morning at about nine. Eventually, I decided to follow her and (26)_______ happened truly amazed me. She was taking the food to the refugee camp, in (27)______ she distributed it to children.I asked around and found out that my mum was very well known in the area.

(30)_____ she could react, I gave her a big hug and told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret (31)______ me.

I was so impressed by (32)_____ selfless she was.(B)Stress: Good or Bad?Stress used to be an almost unknown word, but now that we are used to talking about it, I have found that people are beginning to get stressed about being stressed.In recent years, stress(33)______(regard) as a cause of a whole range of medical problems, from high blood pressure to mental illness. But like so many other things, it is only too much stress(34)______ does you harm. It is time you considered that if there were no stress in your life, you would achieve a little.

Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 42More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 46 . For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 48 light where it is needed.From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important as rational(理性的). When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toothpaste onto our brush.III. Reading ComprehensionSection AIn the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment(授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 65of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.51. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike52. A. contrary B. expectation C. degree D. extreme53. A. vice versa B. for example C. however D. otherwise54. A. outside B. inside C. below D. above55. A. replacing B. assessing C. managing D. encouraging56. A. refer B. contribute C. object D. apply57. A. agreement B. practice C. election D. impression58. A. bossy B. experienced C. western D. male59. A. asking B. training C. warning D. firing60. A. doubling B. maintaining C. reducing D. estimating61. A. honoured B. left C. crowded D. compared62. A. economically B. traditionally C. inadequately D. occasionally63. A. deny B. admit C. assume D. ensure64. A. virtual B. ineffective C. day-to-day D. on-the-scene65. A. opinion B. risk C. performance D. attractivenessSection B(A)One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,…①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重I’ll miss her harum-scarum③noise, ③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys. ④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A. It was a thick enough book.B. Something on its cover caught her eye.C. Her mother was reading it with interest.D. It has a meaningful title.67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.A. sadB. excitedC. horrifiedD. confused68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______.A. it reflected her own childhoodB. it was written in simple languageC. it was composed by a famous poetD. it gave her a hint of what would happen69. It can be concluded from the passage that“Patty Poem”leads the writer to _______.A. discover the power of poetryB. recognize her love for puzzlesC. find her eagerness to grow upD. experience great homesickness(B)Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In1997, th e Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and setinternational limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided tocontinue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get dependson how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.3.5℃This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Parispromises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water and driveover half of all species to extinction.2℃To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets everyfive years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a declineof up to a third in the number of species.1.5℃This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃could save them from sinking.0.8℃This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃point.0℃The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?A. The human population would increase by one third.B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______.A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃(C)Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like tothink they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use o ur data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information ha ve become valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.73. Wh at does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.74. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models75. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______.A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of76. The writer advises users of social media to _______.A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC. take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD. avoid providing too much personal information77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Say no to social media?B. New security rules in operation?C. Accept without reading?D. Administration matters!Section CWalking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed ti reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of the country’s busiest stations.In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the LondonUnderground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.A xix-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side.A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking.The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period.In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up”escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.(Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?79. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?80.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height.81. In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up”escalators will be used for_________________.第II卷(共47分)I.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.我真希望自己的文章有朝一日能见报。

For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,…①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重I’ll miss her harum-scarum③noise, ③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys. ④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A. It was a thick enough book.B. Something on its cover caught her eye.C. Her mother was reading it with interest.D. It has a meaningful title.67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.A. sadB. excitedC. horrifiedD. confused68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______.A. it reflected her own childhoodB. it was written in simple languageC. it was composed by a famous poetD. it gave her a hint of what would happen69. It can be concluded from the passage that“Patty Poem”leads the writer to _______.A. discover the power of poetryB. recognize her love for puzzlesC. find her eagerness to grow upD. experience great homesickness(B)Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set internatio nal limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the ParisAgreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.3.5℃This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Parispromises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water anddrive over half of all species to extinction.2℃To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets everyfive years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a declineof up to a third in the number of species.1.5℃This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push bylow-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃could savethem from sinking.0.8℃This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of theway to the 2℃point.0℃The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?A. The human population would increase by one third.B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______.A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃(C)Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal informatio n have become valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administer ed, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.73. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.74. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models75. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______.A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of76. The writer advises users of social media to _______.A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC. take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD. avoid providing too much personal information77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Say no to social media?B. New security rules in operation?C. Accept without reading?D. Administration matters!Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed ti reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of the country’s busiest stations.In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.A xix-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side.A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking.The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period.In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up”escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.(Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?79. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?80.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height.81. In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up”escalators will be used for_________________.第II卷(共47分)I.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.我真希望自己的文章有朝一日能见报。

Over the years, desig ners and artists have bee n trying to _41the esse ntials of good desig n. They have found that some say ings can help people un dersta nd the ideas of good desig n. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-borin architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create soluti ons to problems through the most efficie nt means. Desig n should avoid unn ecessary 42More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 44 withdecorati on and color aga in. Product desig n was heavily in flue need by this view and can be see n in kitche n 45 such as ove ns and kettles.Fit ness for purpose. Successful product desig n takes into con siderati on a product ' function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most importa nt result for the user is that the product does what is 46 . For example, thi nk of a(n)47 desk lamp. It n eeds to be con structedfrom materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also n eeds to be stable. Most importa ntly, it n eeds to 48 light where it is n eeded.From follows emotio n. This phrase is associated with the Germa n desig ner Hartmut Essli nger. He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important as rational (理性的).When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-look ing device that allows us to easily50 the toothpasteonto our brush.III. Readi ng Comprehe nsionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each bla nk with the word or phrase that best fits the con text.In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people in sti nctively 51_ work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that every one has the pote ntial to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evide nee to the 52 , many man agers still agree to Theory X.They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to workeffectively, or that decisi ons must be imposed from 54 without con sultatio n. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的)managers.Different cultures have differe nt ways of 55 people. Un like authoritaria n man ageme nt, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the con sultative n ature of decisi on-maki ng— all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is man ageme nt by the collective opinion. Many wester n compa nies have tried to imitate such Asia n ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women willbecome more effective man agers tha n men because they have the power to reach com mon goals in a way that traditi onal 58 man agers cannot.A rece nt trend has bee n to en courage employees to use their own in itiative, to make decisi ons on their own without 59 man agers first. This empowerme nt (授权)has bee n part of the trendtowards dow nsiz ing: 60 the nu mber of man ageme nt layers in compa ni es. After de-layeri ngin this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line man agers and employees with direct con tact with the public. Empowerme nt takes the idea of delegation (委托)much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegationmean new forms of man ageme nt con trol to 63 that the overall bus in ess pla n is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mailand the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project man agers evaluate the ―65— of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather tha n the amount of time they spe nd on them.51. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike52.

The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “ we need to think through how we make that work in practice,says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “ Ithink if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would, ” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton,UK, who studies open data. “ We do know peopylea wlootrarbout the inappropriate use of theirinformation. ” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social me dia requires special attention because it is so new. “ We still don ' t know how significant the l-otenrgm impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years ' time, ” he says.Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don 'k t now how co mpanies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don' t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn ' t w properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to.

2016年高考试题(英语)上海卷含答案
绝密★启用前2016年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(上海卷)英语试卷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.In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 65of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.51. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike52. A. contrary B. expectation C. degree D. extreme53. A. vice versa B. for example C. however D. otherwise54. A. outside B. inside C. below D. above55. A. replacing B. assessing C. managing D. encouraging56. A. refer B. contribute C. object D. apply57. A. agreement B. practice C. election D. impression58. A. bossy B. experienced C. western D. male59. A. asking B. training C. warning D. firing60. A. doubling B. maintaining C. reducing D. estimating61. A. honoured B. left C. crowded D. compared62. A. economically B. traditionally C. inadequately D. occasionally63. A. deny B. admit C. assume D. ensure64. A. virtual B. ineffective C. day-to-day D. on-the-scene65. A. opinion B. risk C. performance D. attractivenessSection BDirection:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished sattments. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,…①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重I’ll miss her harum-scarum③noise, ③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys. ④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she”in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem”gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A. It was a thick enough book.B. Something on its cover caught her eye.C. Her mother was reading it with interest.D. It has a meaningful title.67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.A. sadB. excitedC. horrifiedD. confused68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______.A. it reflected her own childhoodB. it was written in simple languageC. it was composed by a famous poetD. it gave her a hint of what would happen69. It can be concluded from the passage that“Patty Poem”leads the writer to _______.A. discover the power of poetryB. recognize her love for puzzlesC. find her eagerness to grow upD. experience great homesickness(B)Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions domake a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Ear th’s changingatmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Somecountries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the ParisAgreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just nowhow much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.℃This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initialParis promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities underwater and drive over half of all species to extinction.2℃To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targetsevery five years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) anddrive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.℃℃could save them from sinking.℃This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40%of the way to the 2℃point.0℃The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?A. The human population would increase by one third.B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______.℃℃C. 2℃℃(C)Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Comm ittee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and cond itions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee.

Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.74.

Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Say no to social media?B. New security rules in operation?C. Accept without reading?D. Administration matters!Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed ti reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of the country’s busiest stations.In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.A xix-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. 41.(10分)Golden Rules of Good DesignWhat makes good design?Over the years,designers and artists have been trying to (41)the essentials of good design.They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design.There are four as follows.Less is more.This saying is associated with the German﹣born architect Mies van der Rohe.In his Modernist view,beauty lies in simplicity and elegance,and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means.Design should avoid unnecessary (42)More is not a bore.The American﹣born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly,the result is (43)design.Post﹣Modernist designers began to (44)with decoration and color again.Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen (45)such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose.Successful product design takes into consideration a product's function,purpose,shape,form,color,and so on.The most important result for the user is that the product does what is (46).For example,think of a(n)(47)desk lamp.It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user.It also needs to be stable.Most importantly,it needs to (48)light where it is needed.From follows emotion.This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger.He believes design must take into(49)the sensory side of our nature﹣sight,smell,touch and taste.These are as important as rational(理性的)thinking.When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste,we appreciate a cool ﹣looking device that allows us to easily(50)the toothpaste onto our brush.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.51.(15分)In the 1960s,Douglas McGregor,one of the key thinkers in the art of management,developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y.Theory X is the idea that people instinctively (51)work and will do anything to avoid it.Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case,despite so much evidence to the (52),many managers still agree to Theory X.They believe,(53),that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively,or that decisions must be imposed from (54)without consultation.This,of course,makes for authoritarian (专制的)managers.Different cultures have different ways of (55)people.Unlike authoritarian management,some cultures,particularly in Asia,are well known for the consultative nature of decision﹣making﹣all members of the department or work group are asked to (56)to this process.This is management by the collective opinion.Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things,which are based on general (57).Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional (58)managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative,to make decisions on their own without(59)managers first.This empowerment (授权)has been part of the trend towards downsizing:(60)the number of management layers in companies.After de﹣layering in this way,a company may be (61)with just a top level of senior managers,front﹣line managers and employees with direct contact with the public.Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托)much further than has (62)been the case.Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to (63)that theoverall business plan is being followed,and that operations become more profitable under the new organization,rather than less.Another trend is off﹣site or (64)management,where teams of people linked by e﹣mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses.Project managers evaluate the (65)of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects,rather than the amount of time they spend on them.51.A.desire B.seek C.lose D.dislike 52.A.contrary B.expectation C.degree D.extreme 53.A.vice versa B.for example C.however D.otherwise 54.A.outside B.inside C.below D.above 55.A.replacing B.assessing C.managing D.encouraging 56.A.refer B.contribute C.object D.apply 57.A.agreement B.practice C.election D.impression 58.A.bossy B.experienced C.western D.male 59.A.asking B.training C.warning D.firing 60.A.doubling B.maintaining C.reducing D.estimating 61.A.honoured B.left C.crowded D.compared 62.A.economically B.traditionally C.inadequately D.occasionally 63.A.deny B.admit C.assume D.ensure 64.A.virtual B.ineffective C.day﹣to﹣day D.on﹣the﹣scene 65.A.opinion B.risk C.performance D.attractivenessSection B Direction:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished sattments. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.66.(8分)One early morning,I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again.My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word"Poems"appeared in big,hot pink letters."Is it good?"I asked her."Yeah,"she answered."There's one I really like and you'll like it,too."I leaned forward."‘Patty Poem,'"she read the title.Who is Patty?I wondered.The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,…①散乱的The poem was just three short sections.The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②,②稳重I'll miss her harum﹣scarum③noise,③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys.④徒劳地And I'll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me.Whoever Patty was,she was a mean girl.Then,the shock."It's you,honey,"My mother said sadly.To my mother,the poem revealed a parent's affection when her child grows up and leaves.To me,the"she"in the poem was horror.It was my mama who would be sad.It was so terrible I burst out crying."What's wrong?"my mother asked."Oh Mama,"I cried."I don't want to grow up ever!"She smiled."Honey,it's okay.You're not growing up anytime soon.And when you do,I'll still love you,okay?""Okay,"I was still weeping.My panic has gone.But I could not help thinking about that silly poem.After what seemed like a safe amount of time,I read the poem again and was confused.It all fit so well together,like a puzzle.The language was simple,so simple I could plainly understand its meaning,yet it was still beautiful.I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry,words that had the power to make or break a person's world.I have since fallen in love with other poems,but"Patty Poem"remains my poem.After all,"Patty Poem"gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits,but because it was the one that hurt me the most.66.Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A.It was a thick enough book.B.Something on its cover caught her eye.C.Her mother was reading it with interest.D.It has a meaningful title.67.After her mother read the poem to her,the writer felt at first.A.sadB.excitedC.horrifiedD.confused68.The writer's mother liked to read"Patty Poem"probably because.A.it reflected her own childhoodB.it was written in simple languageC.it was composed by a famous poetD.it gave her a hint of what would happen69.It can be concluded from the passage that"Patty Poem"leads the writer to.A.discover the power of poetryB.recognize her love for puzzlesC.find her eagerness to grow upD.experience great homesickness.70.(6分)Is there link between humans and climate change or not?This question was first studied in the early 1900s.Since then,many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference.In 1997,the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth's changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放)from 2008 to 2012.Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020.More recently,the Paris Agreement,stuck by nearly 200 countries,also aims to limit global warming.But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.70.It can be concluded from paragraph 1that.A.the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B.gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC.the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD.humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71.If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement,what would happen by the year 2100?A.The human population would increase by one third.B.Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C.Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D.The Agreement's minimum goal would not be reached.72.If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive,the maximum temperature rise,since the start of the industrial age,should be.A.0.8℃B.1.5℃C.2℃D.3.5℃73.(10分)Enough"meaningless drivel".That's the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee's report,released last week,has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记)to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions."The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,"says Andrew Miller,the chair of the committee.Instead,he says,firms should provide a plain﹣English version of their terms.The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme,but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis."we need to think through how we make that work in practice,"says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark?"I think if you went and did the survey,people would like to think they would,"says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton,UK,who studies open data."We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information."But what would happen in practice is another matter,he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand,but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new."We still don't know how significant the long﹣term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20years'time,"he says.Shadbolt,who gave evidence to the committee,says the problem is that we don't know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving.Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently,he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don't expect,even if users have apparently permission,show that the current situation isn't working.If properly administered,a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to.Although they would still have to actually read them.73.What does the phrase"meaningless drivel"in paragraphs 1and 3 refer to?A.Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B.Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C.Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D.Insignificant data collected by social media firms.74.It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether.A.social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB.people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC.a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD.the kitemark would help companies develop their business models 75.Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because.A.their users consist largely of kids under 20years oldB.the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC.the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD.it remains unknown how users'data will be taken advantage of76.The writer advises users of social media to.A.think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB.read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC.take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD.avoid providing too much personal information77.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.Say no to social media?B.New security rules in operation?C.Accept without reading?D.Administration matters!Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.78.(8分)Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed to reduce congestion(拥堵)at some of the country's busiest stations.In the first move of its kind,all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量)at the height of the rush hour.A six﹣month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid﹣April,eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left.The move,imitating a similar structure in Far Eastern cities such as Hong Kong,is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times.it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.According to London Underground,only 40percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators,leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the"standing"side.A three﹣week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any one time of could be raised by almost a third.Peter McNaught,operations director at London Underground,said:"It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still,but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true.This new six﹣month trial will help us find out if we can influencecustomers to stand on both sides in the long term."Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4high.Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up﹣meaning only one side was used at all times.Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5to ban walking.The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day,rising to 3,250during the researching period.In the new trial,which will be launched from April 18,one of three"up"escalators will be standing only,with a second banning walking at peak times.A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.(Note:Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78.What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?79.What did last year's three﹣week trial at Holborn station prove?80.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least in height.81.In the new trail,in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours,the other"up"escalators will be used for.I.Translation Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.82.(3分)我真希望自己的文章有朝一日能见报.(hope).83.(3分)二十世纪末中国经济迅速发展.(witness)84.(3分)为买一双运动鞋而通宵排队有意义吗?(point).85.(3分)虽然当时我年幼,不理解这部电影的含义,但我记得我的家人都感动得落泪了.(too…to…).86.(3分)我阿姨苦读四年之后获得了文凭,那一刻她欣喜万分.(The moment…).II.

The fifty-two week money challenge is simple and if it is maintained, it will result in 1378dollars in your savings account each year. It starts with saving an amount equaling 1 dollar in week 1, 2 dollars in week 2, 3 dollars in week 3, and continues right through the year until 52 dollars in week 52. While these are small in significant amounts, at the end of the year, you will have enough for an emergency fund, family celebration or holiday.Another simple way of building some savings is by depositing as little as two percent of your monthly income into a savings account. The key is that before bills and living expenses start to eat away your salary, you should put aside the savings portion of your pay. Once you have reached a thousand dollars, you’ll find you probably have the motivation to continue to save even more. Questions:11.

At a local school a successful charity supper has been held. They made more than one thousand dollars and the local family in need got the majority of it. Many people came to the event and the family was very grateful. Yet the bad news is students have been made to wait outside before school. It has been really cold lately and the school should consider letting the students in to get warm before the weather gets even colder. In the town of Tivaton, a new icecream store, the Muddy Moos, is opened. It’s a great place to get icecream, coffee and other food. As for the bad news, a new bank has been built. While it is good to have a bank nearby, it has also brought much more traffic. In the morning on the way to school, it’s horrible. There is really no space for any more new buildings in the town. Tivaton is more and more like a big city. On reviewing these local news events, it seems Tivaton has a balance of good news and bad news. At least there is enough good news, so it remains a good place for the residents to enjoy their life. Questions:14. For the local family in need of help, what did they get?15.

Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design.They have found that some sayings can helppeople understand the ideas of good design.There arefour as follows.Less is more.This saying is associated with theGerman-born architect Mies van der Rohe.In hisModernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means.Designshould avoid unnecessary 42 More is not a bore.The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43design.Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again.Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose.Successful product design takesinto consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on.The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 46 .For example, think of a(n) 47desk lamp.It needs to be constructedfrom materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user.It also needs to bestable.Most importantly, it needs to 48 light where it is needed.From follows emotion.This phrase is associated withthe German designer Hartmut Esslinger.He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste.These are asimportant as rational(理性的).When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate acool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toothpaste onto our brush.【答案】41.D42.E43.J44.G45.C46.H47.B48.F49.A50.K【解析】试题分析:本文属于说明文,告诉我们好的设计应包括四个黄金定律:简约、功能以及情感等等.41.D动词capture获得;捕获;本句中该词构成的不定式短语“to capture.....”作为动词try的宾语.句意:多年以来,设计师和艺术家一直都在努力搞清楚好的设计的本质.42.E名词decorations 装饰,该词在句中作为动词avoid的宾语.本段的主题是“Less is more”倡导装修设计的简单化.句意:设计应该避免不必要的装饰物.43.J形容词soulless 没有灵魂的;该词在本句中做定语修饰名词design.根据前半句“The American-born architect Robert Venturiconcluded that if simplicity is done badly...”可知美国建筑家Robert Venturi总结过,如果简约没有做好,那么这样的设计就是没有灵魂的;44.G动词短语experiment with试用,用...做实验;句意:后现代主义设计师们再一次开始试验装饰和颜色.45.C名词appliance电器,电器工具;该词可由后面列举的例子“ovens and kettles烤箱和水壶”推理,指厨房电器等物品.46.H形容词intended预期的;本句中该词和系动词is构成系表结构.句意:对用户来说最重要的是产品达到了预期的效果.考点:考查选词填空III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passagethere are four words or phrases marked A, B, C andD.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that bestfits the context.In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the keythinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y.Theory X is the ideathat people instinctively 51 work and will doanything to avoid it.Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , manymanagers still agree to Theory X.They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must beimposed from 54 without consultation.This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 55 people.Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department orwork group are asked to 56 to this process.This is management by the collective opinion.Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways ofdoing things, which are based on general 57 .Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power toreach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without59 managers first.This empowerment (授权)has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60the number of management layers in companies.After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 withjust a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with thepublic.Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been thecase.Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less. Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses.Project managers evaluate the 65 of the team members in terms ofwhat they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.51.A.desireB.seekC.loseD.dislike52.A.contraryB.expectationC.degreeD.extreme53.A.vice versaB.for exampleC.howeverD.otherwise54.A.outsideB.insideC.belowD.above55.A.replacing B.assessingC.managingD.encouraging56.A.referB.contributeC.objectD.apply57.A.agreementB.practiceC.electionD.impression58.A.bossyB.experiencedC.westernD.male59.A.askingB.trainingC.warningD.firing60.A.doublingB.maintainingC.reducingD.estimatingpared62.A.economicallyB.traditionallyC.inadequatelyD.occasionally63.A.denyB.admitC.assumeD.ensure64.A.virtualB.ineffectiveC.day-to-dayD.on-the-scene65.A.opinionB.riskC.performanceD.attractiveness【答案】51.D52.A53.B54.D55.C56.B57.A58.D59.A60.C61.B6 2.B63.D64.A65.C【解析】试题分析:本文是说明文,作者在第一段中提出道格拉斯·麦克雷戈所提出的人性假设理论中的X理论和Y理论,并介绍了现代社会中一种新型管理理论:授权管理及其作用.51.D考查上下文串联.根据后半句“....will do anything to avoid it”可知很多人为了避免工作而愿意做任何事情,说明那些人大多数人生性都是懒惰的,都不愿意工作,他们尽可能地逃避工作.故D项正确.52.A考查上下文串联.短语to the contrary相反的;to the degree在某种程度上;to the extreme走向极端;在文章第一段中提到了X理论,大多数人都缺乏进取心和责任心,不愿对人和事负责,没有什么雄心壮志,不喜欢负责任,宁可被领导.而Y理论认为大多数人愿意对工作、对他人负责,人们愿意实行自我管理和自我控制来完成应当完成的目标.这是两种完全相反的理论,尽管对于这两种完全相反的理论有很多的证据,很多管理人仍然同意X理论.故A正确.53.B考查上下文串联.本句中for example表示举例说明;这些管理人仍然同意X理论,例如他们认为如果要员工效率高,就需要给与他们不断的监督.这属于X理论的举例说明.故B正确. 54.D考查上下文串联.根据后句“...makes for authoritarian managers....”可知这属于专制的管理方法,他们的决定是来自上而下的,没有任何商量的余地.故D项“above上面的”正确.55.C考查上下文串联.根据前段可知本文讨论的管理学的理论,使用本句使用动词“manage管理”,不同的文化中有不同的管理人的方法.而且和下文中亚洲、西方的管理方法形成呼应.故C正确. 56.B考查动词短语辨析.短语refer to提到,谈到;contribute to做贡献;导致;object to反对;apply to适用于;亚洲人使用的是协商式的管理方法,所有人都被要求对管理的过程做出自己的贡献.故B正确.57.A考查上下文串联.名词agreement同意;practice练习,做法;election 选举;impression印象;亚洲人使用协商式的管理方法,这种方法是建立在共同的协议基础之上的,西方人也想学习这样的管理方法.故A正确.58.D考查上下文串联.根据前半句“....women will become moreeffective managers than men....”可知有些专家认为女性比男性管理更高效.因为女性更有亲和力,比男性管理人更容易与别人达成一致的目标.故D正确.59.A考查上下文串联.根据前句“...encourage employees to use their own initiative...鼓励员工使用自己的首创精神”,也就是说在做出决定的时候不要请示上级经理,自己做出决定即可.故A项正确.60.C考查上下文串联.根据前句“the trend towards downsizing缩小规模的趋势”,也就是要减少管理层的数量,可以直接做出决定而不需要请示上级.故动词“reduce减少”符合上下文串联.61.B考查短语辨析辨析.动词be honored with被授予;be left with留下,剩下;be crowded with挤满;be compared with与..相比;通过这种方法,公司只剩下高层管理者和前线的与公众直接联系的一线管理人.省略了很多中央环节,提高了管理的效益.故B正确.62.B考查副词辨析.副词economically经济地;traditionally传统地;inadequately不充分地;occasionally偶尔地;根据后句“Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management...”可知授权管理是一个新型的管理方法,与传统的管理模式不一样.故B正确.63.D考查动词辨析.动词deny否认;admit承认;assume假定,设想;ensure保证,确保;授权管理是一考点:考查说明文阅读Section BDirection:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished sattments.For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D.Choose the one that fits bestaccording to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One early morning, I went into the living room to findmy mother reading a thick book called Best LovedPoems to Read Again and Again.My interest wasaroused only by the fact that the word “Poems”appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I aske d her.“Yeah,” she answered.“There’s one I really like andyou’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title.Who is Patty? I wondered.The poembegan:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered① where they lay,…①散乱的The poem was justthree short sections.The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重I’ll miss herharum-scarum③ noise, ③莽撞的And look in vain④ forscattered toys④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me.Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl.Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves.To me, the “she” in the poem was horror.It was my mama who would be sad.It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried.“I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled.“Honey, it’s okay.You’re not growing up anytime soon.And when you do, I’ll still love you,okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping.My panic has gone.But Icould not help thinking about that silly poem.After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused.It all fit so well together, like apuzzle.The language was simple, so simple I couldplainly understand its meaning, yet it was stillbeautiful.I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’sworld.I have sinc e fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem.After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.66.Why was the writer attracted by the book BestLoved Poems to Read Again and Again?A.It was a thick enough book.B.Something on its cover caught her eye.C.Her mother was reading it with interest.D.It has a meaningful title.67.After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.A.sadB.excitedC.horrifiedD.confused68.The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______.A.it reflected her own childhoodB.it was written in simple languageC.it was composed by a famous poetD.it gave her a hint of what would happen69.It can be concluded from the passage that“Patty Poem”leads the writer to _______.A.discover the power of poetryB.recognize her love for puzzlesC.find her eagerness to grow upD.experience great homesickness【答案】66.B67.A68.D69.ATo m e, the “she” in the poem was horror.It was mymama who would be sad.可知对妈妈来说这首诗让她想起我也会长大也会离开她,她也会因为我的离开而非常难受.所以这本书让她把未来可能发生的事情联系了起来.故D项正确69.A 推理判断题.根据文章最后一段“I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem.After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry notbecause it was the poem that lifted my spirits, butbecause it was the one that hurt me the most.”可知这首诗让作者感受了诗歌的美,让作者爱上了诗歌,这首因为她发现诗歌有强烈的情感冲击力.故A项正确.考点:考查记叙文阅读(B)Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s.Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference.In 1997, the Kyoto Protocolexplained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012.Some countries have decided to continuethese reductions until 2020.More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming.But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.3.5℃.This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise couldstill put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction.2℃To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years.Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.1.5℃This is themost ambitious goal for temperature rise set by theParis Agreement, after a push by low-lying islandnations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperaturerise to 1.5℃could save them from sinking.0.8℃This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃point.0℃The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.70.It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that ______.A.the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B.gas emissions have been effectively reduced indeveloped countriesC.the Paris Agreements is more influential than theKyoto ProtocolD.humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71.If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?A.The human population would increase by one third.B.Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C.Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D.The Agree ment’s minimum goal would not bereached.72.If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______.A.0.8℃B.1.5℃C.2℃D.3.5℃【答案】70.D 71.D72.B【解析】试题分析:本文介绍了人们一直努力减少温室气体的排放,并设立了到2100年我们应该达成的目标以及达成目标要符合的条件.70.D推理判断题.根据文章第一段三至六句“Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference.In 1997, the Kyoto ......stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming.”可知自从20世纪早期开始人类就一直在努力减少温室气体的排放,希望能减缓全球变暖的趋势.故D项正确.71.D推理判断题.根据文章第二段This is how much temperatureswould rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions;可知如果各国的气体排放能够符合巴黎协议的要求,到考点:考查说明文阅读(C)Enough “meaningless drivel”.That’s th e message froma group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamedfirms for making people sign up to longincomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and conditions statement that we allcarelessly agree to is meaningl ess drivel to anyone,”says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee.Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms.The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on avoluntary basis.“we need to think through how wemake that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “Ithink if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at theUniversity of Southampton, UK, who studies opendata.“We do know people worry a lot about theinappropriate use of their information.” B ut whatwould happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers tosign long contracts they may not read or understand,but Miller believes social media requires specialattention because it is so new.“We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, s ays the problem is that we don’t know how co mpanies will use our data because their busines s models and uses of data are still r ge collections of personal information have beco me valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that thecurrent situation isn’t working.If properlyadministered, a kitemark on terms and conditionscould help people know what exactly they are signing up to.Although they would still have to actually read them. 73.What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A.Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B.Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C.Guidelines on how to use social media websitesproperly.D.Insignificant data collected by social media firms.74.It can be inferred from the passage that NigelShadbolt doubts whether _______.A.social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB.people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC.a kitemark scheme would be workable on anationwide scaleD.the kitemark would help companies develop their business models75.Andrew Miller thinks social media needs moreattention than banks mainly because _______.A.their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB.the language in their contracts is usually harder tounderstandC.the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD.it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of76.The writer advises users of social media to _______.A.think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB.read the terms and conditions even if there is akitemarkC.take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD.avoid providing too much personal information77.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.Say no to social media?B.New security rules in operation?C.Accept without reading?D.Administration matters!【答案】73.A74.B75.D76.B77.C【解析】试题分析:当我们在社交媒体上注册登记的时候,总会签署一些无意义的法律合同,文章就此现象展开了讨论,并列举了多人的不同观点.73.A词义猜测题.根据第一段第一句“......has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts....”可知很多社交媒体公司和用户签订了没有意义的法律合同.而这些合同是没有意义的废话,也起不到任何作用,很多用户根本没有仔细阅读合同的具体内容.故A正确.74.B推理判断题.根据第五段前二句“Would we pay any more attentionto a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says NigelShadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data.”可知Nigel Shadbolt认为如果我们去做相关调查,人们会认为他们会很注意这些认证标记的.故B项正确.75.D推理判断题.根据第六段最后一句“We still don’t know howsignificant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.可知我们现在还不知道所签署的这些长期的无意义的合同未来会给他们带来什么样的影响.也不知道未来人们会怎么利用这样的信息.故D项正确.76.B推理判断题.根据文章最后一句If properly administered, akitemark on terms and conditions could help peopleknow what exactly they are signing up to.Although they would still have to actually read them.可知文章建议我们即使有认证标志,我们呀应该认真阅读那些无意义的合同中的条款和内容,我们要知道我们所签署的协议的具体内容.故B正确.77.C标题概括题.现在的网站中或者社交媒体软件中,我们在注册用户名或安装的时候,总会有一些合同或条约让我们签署.很多人从来都没有详细阅读这些合同条款就签名了.文章就此话题展开讨论,作者提出我们应该仔细阅读条款内容,然后在签名.故C项“Accept without reading?未阅读就接受”符合文章中心思想.其余三项与文章内容不贴切.考点:考查社会现象类阅读Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.。

The fifty-two week money challenge is simple and if it is maintained, it will result in1378 dollars in your savings account each year. It starts with saving an amount equaling 1 dollar in week 1, 2 dollars in week 2, 3 dollars in week 3, and continues right through the year until 52 dollars in week 52. While these are small in significant amounts, at the end of the year, you will have enough for an emergency fund, family celebration or holiday.Another simple way of building some savings is by depositing as little as two percent of your monthly income into a savings account. The key is that before bills and living expenses start to eat away your salary, you should put aside the savings portion of your pay. Once you have reached a thousand dollars, you’ll find you probably have the motivation to continue to save even more. Questions:11.

Many people came to the event and the family was very grateful. Yet the bad news is students have been made to wait outside before school. It has been really cold lately and the school should consider letting the students in to get warm before the weather gets even colder. In the town of Tivaton, a new icecream store, the Muddy Moos, is opened. It’s a great place to get icecream, coffee and other food. As for the bad news, a new bank has been built. While it is good to have a bank nearby, it has also brought much more traffic. In the morning on the way to school, it’s horrible. There is really no space for any more new buildings in the town. Tivaton is more and more like a big city. On reviewing these local news events, it seems Tivaton has a balance of good news and bad news. At least there is enough good news, so it remains a good place for the residents to enjoy their life. Questions:14. For the local family in need of help, what did they get?15.

During that time, I helped out with the housework and contributed to the groceries.After less than a week, I started noticing that the groceries were running out pretty quickly—we were always suddenly out of something. (25) _______ (wonder) how my mum could consume them so quickly, I began observing her daily routine for two weeks. To my surprise, I found that she would pack a paper bag full of canned goods and head out every morning at about nine. Eventually, I decided to follow her and (26) ________ happened truly amazed me. She was taking the food to the refugee camp, in (27) ________ she distributed it to children.I asked around and found out that my mum was very well known in the area. The kids were very friendly with her and even looked up to her as if she were their own mother. Then it hit me—why would she mot want to tell me about what she (28) ________ (do)? Was she worried about how I would react or that I would stop (29) ________ (buy) the groceries if I found out?When she got home, I told her about my discovery. (30) ________ she could react, I gave her a big hug and told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret (31) ________ me.

But like so many other things, it is only too much stress (34) ________ does you harm. It is time you considered that if there were no stress in your life, you would achieve a little. If you are stuck at home with no stress, then your level of performance will be low. Up to a certain point, the more stress you are under, the (35) ________ (good) your performance will be. Beyond a certain point, though, further stress will only lead to exhaustion, illness and finally a breakdown. You can tell when you are over the top and on the downward slope, by asking yourself (36) ________ number of questions. Do you, for instance, feel that too much is being expected of (37) ________, and yet find it impossible to say no?

Each word can onlyGolden Rules of Good DesignWhat makes good design? Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 42 .More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose.Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 46 . For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 48 light where it is needed.Form follows emotion.This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important as rational(理性的)thinking. When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toothpaste onto our brush.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.In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the now famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian(专制的)managers.Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment(授权)has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation(委托)much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 65 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.51. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike52.

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)One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called英语试卷第5页(共36页)英语试卷第6页(共36页)Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Y eah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered ①where they lay,…①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②,②稳重I’ll miss her harum-scarum③noise, ③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys.④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A. It was a thick enough book.B. Something on its cover caught her eye.C. Her mother was reading it with interest.D. It has a meaningful title.67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.A. sadB. excitedC. horrifiedD. confused68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because_______.A. it reflected her own childhoodB. it was written in simple languageC. it was composed by a famous poetD. it gave her a hint of what would happen69. It can be concluded from the passage that “Patty Poem” leads the writer to _______.A. discover the power of poetryB. recognize her love for puzzlesC. find her eagerness to grow upD. experience great homesickness(B)Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放)from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.3.5℃This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to theinitial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastalcities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction.2℃To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissionstargets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱)and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.1.5℃This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement,after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limitingtemperature rise to 1.5℃could save them from sinking.0.8℃This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, puttingus 40% of the way to the 2℃point.0℃The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrialage.英语试卷第7页(共36页)英语试卷第8页(共36页)70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71.If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what wouldhappen by the year 2100?A. The human population would increase by one third.B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperaturerise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______.A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃(C)Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark(认证标记)to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “We need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.Shadbolt,who gave evidence to the committee,says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolv rge collections of personal information have become valuable only recently,he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently given permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.73. What does the phrase “meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.74. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models75. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because_______.A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of76. The writer advises users of social media to _______.A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC. take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD. avoid providing too much personal information77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Say no to social media?B. New security rules in operation!C. Accept without reading?D. Administration matters!Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed to reduce congestion(拥堵)英语试卷第9页(共36页)英语试卷第10页(共36页)at some of the country’s busiest stations.In the first move of its kind, all travellers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量)at the height of the rush hour.A six-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far Eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times. It could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travellers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing” side.A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any one time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4m high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5m to ban walking.The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2 500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3 250 during the research period.In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up” escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?________________________________________________________________________ 79. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?________________________________________________________________________ 80. The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least_________ in height.81. In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up”escalators will be used for__________.第Ⅱ卷(共47分)I.

Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 42 More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 46 . For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 48 light where it is needed.From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important as rational(理性的). When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toothpaste onto our brush.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.In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 65of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.51. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike52.

A. opinion B. risk C. performance D. attractiveness Section BDirection:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished sattments. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,…①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重I’ll miss her harum-scarum③noise, ③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys. ④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock. “It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem”remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A. It was a thick enough book.B. Something on its cover caught her eye.C. Her mother was reading it with interest.D. It has a meaningful title.67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.A. sadB. excitedC. horrifiedD. confused68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______.A. it reflected her own childhoodB. it was written in simple languageC. it was composed by a famous poetD. it gave her a hint of what would happen69. It can be concluded from the passage that“Patty Poem”leads the writer to _______.A. discover the power of poetryB. recognize her love for puzzlesC. find her eagerness to grow upD. experience great homesickness(B)Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s cha nging atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.3.5℃This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up tothe initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still putcoastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction.2℃To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tightenemissions targets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands,worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number ofspecies.1.5℃This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the ParisAgreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which saylimiting temperature rise to 1.5℃could save them from sinking.0.8℃This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began,putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃point.0℃The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of theindustrial age.70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?A. The human population would increase by one third.B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______.A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃(C)Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UKgovernment who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark(认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at int roducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadb olt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social m edia that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how co mpanies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.73. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.74. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models75. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______.A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of76. The writer advises users of social media to _______.A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC. take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD. avoid providing too much personal information77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Say no to social media?B. New security rules in operation?C. Accept without reading?D. Administration matters!Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed ti reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of the country’s busiest stations.In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.A xix-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side.A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking.The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period.In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up”escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.(Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?79. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?80.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height.81. In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up” escalators will be used for_________________.第II卷(共47分)I.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.我真希望自己的文章有朝一日能见报。
