AThe British MuseumWha t’s onAlthough many parts of Asia have long been connected through trade along Silk Road and shared religious systems, there are strong regional differences. In addition to various languages, Asia has developed its cultural networks, patterns of government, technology and styles of artistic representation.The diverse cultural life of Africa has been expressed through everyday cooking objects and unique works of art since ancient times. The Museum’s collection of over 200,000 African items includes archaeological and contemporary material from across the continent.The Iron Age was a time of big change for the people of Britain and Europe. Iron replaced bronze as the material used to make tools and weapons, while religion, art, daily life, economics and politics changed greatly.Admission and opening timesThe Museum is free and open daily 10:00-17:30 except Friday and is open until 20:30 on Fridays, except Good Friday. The Museum is open every day except for 24, 25 anti 26 December and 1 January.Museum shopsBookshopMonday-Thursday 10:00-17:30 Friday 10:00-20:00Saturday 10:30-17:30 Sunday 10:00-17:30Collections shopMonday-Thursday 09:30-17:30 Friday 09:30-20:00Saturday 09:30-17:30 Sunday 10:00-17:30Getting hereBy TubeNearest underground stations:Tottenham Court Road (500m) Holborn (500m)Russell Square (800m) Good Street (800m)By busBuses that stop near the Museum: 1,8,19,X25,38,55,98,242By carThe Museum lies within the Congestion (拥堵) Charge Zone.

It is 500 meters from Russell Square to the Museum.BIn his new show, Evan Ruggiero plays guitar, sings pop standards and shows everybody his fine footwork. What makes all of these especially unusual is that Ruggiero, 24, has only one leg.When he was a 19-year-old musical theater student at New Jersey’s Montclair State University, Ruggiero had a rare bone cancer in his right leg. Finally his leg would have to be amputated (截) below the knee（膝盖）.Such a setback（挫折） could have easily ended the career of a less tough（坚强） person, but Ruggiero, who has been dancing since he was five, now puts the experience into his performance. His show, “The One-Legged Song and Dance Man: Volume 3”, explains how he returned to dance just 18 months after the amputation. His dance now relies on the use of a peg leg(假肢) , he explains.The secret to his surprising success, he says, was being a “stubborn” patient who refused to give up on his dance and performing studies, despite the advice of his doctor.“It was a real setback, but after it was all over, I said, ‘You know what? I need to pick up right where I left off and continue my career, ’ ” Ruggiero said.Ruggiero has come to view his peg leg as an instrument. “Tap dancers—they’re always calling themselves musicians, and their feet are their instrument, ” he said.Noting that many audience members will never have seen a one-legged dancer before coming to his show, Ruggiero says he won’t shy away from the physical “weakness” his performance shows because of his condition.“A lot of people have come up to me, and they always say, ‘You’re such a role model and an inspiration, ’ ” he said. “I’m honored when people say that, of course, but I’m just trying to get on with my life.”4.What makes Ruggiero’s new show unusual?A. One-legged dance.B. His own artworks.C. The use of instrument.D. Songs of pop standard.5. According to the passage, it is true that________.A. Ruggiero is a tough person with a strong willB. the setback has ended Ruggiero’s dance careerC. Ruggiero is dancing relying on others supportD. his doctor agreed he kept on dancing and studying6. When audience attend his performance, they may notice________.A. Ruggiero plays piano, sings and dancesB. Ruggiero is a dancer with the help of a peg legC. there are many tap dancers in the performanceD. Ruggiero pretends to be a physically normal person7. What ’ s the author ’ s attitude to Evan?A. WorryB. SympathyC. EncouragementD. PityCI was playing in my kitchen. My mom stood in front of me, hardly keeping the tears from spilling over. She told me that my little cousin had cancer. Hearing this, I went completely numb（麻木）. How could this be happening? I had just seen her, and she was fine.These things didn’t happen to our family, that’s what my uncle said. It seemed like the world turned upside down; just last week my grandmother had passed away.I felt like I couldn’t get my feet on solid ground.That’s when my sister, Ella, came down the stairs with her long brown hair freshly washed. She sat next to me and smiled. Despite what was happening, everything would work out, her smile seemed to say.“Mom, do you think I could get my hair cut tomorrow?” Ella asked.“Sure,” Mom said, starting to wash the dishes.“I want to donate（捐赠）it to Locks of Love” Ella smiled.My mom stopped washing and turned to look at her. “Are you sure?” I noticed that Mom was holding back tears. This was a sacrifice(牺牲) for Ella. Her long hair was an important part of her.“Yeah, it’s just hair. Eventually it will grow back.” She said.“All right,” Mom said quietly, smiling again.Ella gave up a part of herself for a while. She let a piece of herself go to someone else, someone she didn’t know. That day she became my hero too.8. On hearing little cousin had cancer, how did the author feel?A. Confused.B. Afraid.C. Shocked.D. Worried.9. Which statement is true according to Paragraph 2?A. The world is unfair to the writer’s family.B. Unlucky things of the family made the writer very sad.C. The writer had the disability with her legs.D. Unlucky things didn’t happen to the writer’s fami ly.10. What did the Ella to donate?A. Her comb.B. Her doll.C. Her book.D. Her hair.11. What can we know about Ella?A. She was kind and willing to help others.B. She liked smiling, but didn’t love cooking.C. She made her mother regret her hair.D. She didn’t like wearing long hair again.DPlants are helpful to human: they provide us with wood and other products, they give us shade, and they help to prevent drought（干旱） and floods.Sadly, in many parts of the world man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.Several thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships（战舰）, with which to gain itself an empire（帝国）. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even if a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with, and he can earn money by making charcoal(木炭) or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.This does not only mean that the villagers? sons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there are trees their roots break the soil up—allowing the rain to sink in and also hold the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor. The rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.12. What is the most important function of trees?A. Providing fuel.B. Offering shade.C. Preventing natural disasters.D. Providing wood.13. What eventually happened to the empire in paragraph 3?A. Its people died of hunger.B. It fell to pieces.C. It became a giant empire.D. It built many ships with wood.14. It is implied in the passage that the villagers .A. want a plentiful supply of treesB. want firewood badlyC. just want to get moneyD. don’t realize the importance of tree s15. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. The benefits of trees.B. Trees and soil protection.C. The various uses of trees.D. Different attitudes toward trees.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.Prepare for yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people . I think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus yourattention on other people, Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know about you.56. Where would this article probably appear?A. In a popular magazineB. On the top-line position of a newspaperC. In a science textbookD .In an encyclopedia(百科全书)57. The main purpose of the article is to _____.A. explain how shyness developed.B .recommend ways of dealing with shynessC. persuade readers that shyness is natural.D. prove that shyness can be overcome58. Who probably gives the suggestion for fighting shyness?A. The author of the articleB. Shy men and womenC. Doctors and psychologistsD. Popular entertainersBA new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end many parents’ worries fearful for their children’s safety on the roads.Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will attend their nearest school.The new plan is to be fired out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake to provide free transport to the school . But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster. Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part . Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington . The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in ha d asked if transport could be provided for their children , to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.59. What is the aim of the plan?A.To prevent the students’ road accidentsB. To relieve the traffic pressureC. To save time for the parents and studentsD. To help the parents save money60. Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out?A. The bus company will make much more moneyB. The children can choose whatever school they likeC. The parents can get rid of their worriesD. The students in Impington School can have free bus rides61. This passage is most probably _____A. a personal letter.B. an advertisementC. a headmaster’s report.D. a newspaper articleCEvery artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not beensaid before. He hopes that the public will listen and understand ----he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.What visional artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain choice of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is very interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have notice these particular shapes and colors ,or have felt the delight which they brought to the artists.Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in movement and at rest; their choices show that these aspects(方面)of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Modern artists might say that they only choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose totally without thinking about the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint a decaying(溃烂的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world . Each painter is telling us something , showing us something , emphasizing something----- all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.62. It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because _______.A. most painters do not express themselves wellB. a painter uses unusual words and phrasesC. a painter use shapes and colors instead of wordsD. many painters do not say anything63. Modern artists might say their choice of subjects ______.A. carries a message to the publicB. only provides interesting patternsC. has no pattern or formD. teaches the public important truths64. The writer says that modern art contains______A. nothing but meaningless patterns B .uninteresting aspects of the worldC. subjects chosen partly for their meaningD. completely meaningless subjectsDHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments－mostly for entertainment purposes－is fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats(栖息地). Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim(声称) to educate people and save endangered species(物种), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range(分布区). The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats. Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.65．How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?A．Dangerous. B．Unhappy. C．Natural. D．Easy.66．In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.A．remain in cages B．behave strangelyC．attack other animals D．enjoy moving around67．What does the author try to argue in the passage?A．Zoos are not worth the public support. B．Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C．Zoos should treat animals as human. D.Zoos use animals as a means of making money.EWhen his wife died ,the baby was two. They had six other children, three boys and three girls ,ranging in age from 4 to 16. A few days after he became a widower , the man’s parents and his past wife’s parents came to visit the family. “ We’ve been talking” they said ,” about how to take care of all these children and work to make a lining So, we’ve arranged for each child to be placed with a different uncle or aunt .We’re making sure that here in the neighborhood, so you can see them anytime”“ you have no idea how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness.”The man said .”But I want you to know ,” he smiled and continued , “ if the children affect my work or if we should need any help ,we’ll let you know.”Over the next few weeks ,the man worked with his children, assigning them small work and giving them responsibilities.

Your partner is someone you have to care for, think about regularly, support and comfort.If you are not fulfilling（履行） these duties, your partner will feel you ignore him or her and hurt. Relationships can feel tense when you are neither confident in yourself nor feel personal self-worth. That pressure you experience on your chest never changes. You feel confused and overwhelmed（受打击）. So, what can you do whenyou feel yourself slipping into this pattern of emotional outbursts（爆发）, self-doubt and dependency? Take time to consider your own life goals and ambitions（抱负）. Your relationship will improve when you show confidence and be positive. When you feel valuable, it draws people in closer. When you feel down, depressed and low about yourself, it automatically drives people away.So, how can we better understand this relationship? Think of it like this: First, you are happy on your own. You feel comfortable in your own skin and confident about your ambitions and goals.Now, your partner enters into the picture. There is certainly an adjustment period, where you learn how to expose your inner thoughts and depend on someone other than yourself.If you start from there, you will have a healthy foundation on which to build a mutually-supportive relationship.Ideally, your partner, whom you love and care about, will ride alongside you on your path to success. In turn, you will support your partner to fulfill his or her own life ambitions.Love your partner; love yourself!Outline DetailsThe(71)________for caring about your partner. ◆Your partner will feel (72) _______and hurt.◆Your relationship can become tense, when you don’t(73) _______yourself.◆You feel confused and overwhelmed when the pressure youexperience on your chest is (74) ___________.The(75)_________to solving this pattern of emotional dependency. ◆ Take time to (76) ____ about your own life goals andambitions.◆ You must behave in a (77) __________way.How to build a good relationship with your partner. ◆First, you are happy on your own.◆Second, learn to (78) _________to this period.第六部分：书面表达（25分）众所周知，这些年我国经济发展迅速，可是环境污染也越来越严重，发展经济与环境保护之间的关系问题一直为社会各界所关注。

In my own experience, the people I respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded the most discipline (纪律) from their students.I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school. I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person. I remember very clearly a sign on her classroom door. It was a simple sign that said,“ Laboratory : in this room the first five letters of the word was stressed not the last seven. ”In other words, labor for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches.She prepared her work very carefully and told us to do the same. We got lots of homework from her. Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would be reduced, but it continued just the same. She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them.I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least. But as time goes by, this discipline really seems to benefit the students.56.Which of the following is considered a good teacher by the writer?A. A patient teacher.B. An honest teacher.C. A strict teacher.D. An easy –going teacher.57. The teacher put up the sign on her classroom door.A. to remind the students that this room was a laboratoryB. to advise the students to follow the disciplinesC. to warn the students not to be carelessD. to tell the students to work hard in the classroom58. What ’ s the writer’ s opinion of discipline?A. It makes the students dislike their teachers.B. It does good to the students in the long run.C. It’ s too much for young children.D. It does more harm than good to the students.59. What ’ s the Chinese for the underlined word“ oratory”?A.演讲B. 讲稿C. 访谈D. 采访BIn the traditional marriage, the man worked at a job to earn money for the family. Most men worked in an office, a factory, or some other place away from the home. Since the man earned the money, they paid the bills. The money was used for food, -clothes, the house, and other family needs, the man made most of the decisions. He was the boss.In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked meals, cleaned the house, washedthe clothes, and did other housework. Her job at home was very important.In recent years, many couples continues to have a traditional relationship of the kind. The man has a job and earns the money for the family. The woman stays at home and cared for thechildren and the house. Many Americans are happy with the kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.There are two important differences in male and female roles now. One is that both men and women have many more choices. They may choose to marry or to stay single. They may choose to work or stay at home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared. The husband and wife may choose to have children, or they may not. If they have children, the man takes care of them some of the time, all of the time or not at all. The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children, or she may vant to go to work.Men and women now decide these things together in a marriage. Many married people now share these decisions and responsibilities of their families.60. Which of the following is NOT true in the traditional marriage ?A. Men worked at a job to earn money for the family.B. The woman made most of decisions.C. The woman stayed at home to care the children.D. The man paid the bills.61.In recent years____________.A.young couples refuse the traditional relationshipB.the woman has a job and earns the money for the familyC.the woman doesn' t stay at home and care for the children and the houseD.the role of men and women has begun to change62.

B Sharing E Umbrella, a new umbrella sharing company based in Shenzhen, China, recently announced that it had lost most of the 300, 000 umbrellas since it was set up. China's sharing economy has been growing rapidly, with companies offering anything from bicycles and basketballs to phone batteries for people to rent. Customers make a small deposit （押金）and get to use the thing for a daily cost, with a fine put in place for every day if they fail to return the product in time. It's a simple business model, and market data shows that people see sharing as a cheap and convenient way to cut down waste. Zhao Shuping founded the Sharing E Umbrella, an umbrella sharing service, in April. By the end of June, he had already started in 11 major Chinese cities, including Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou. While picking up the umbrellas was relatively simple, as they were made available （可得到的）at bus and subway stations, the return system turned out to be a different matter. "Umbrellas are different from bicycles, "Mr. Zhao told Chinese news site . "Bikes can be parked anywhere, but with an umbrella you need something to hang it on. " So instead of bothering to return the umbrellas back to a station, a lot of people just took them home, and Sharing E Umbrella has reportedly lost track of most of the 300,000 umbrellas. Considering that borrowing umbrellas requires a 19 yuan deposit, with a fee of 0.50 yuan per half an hour usage, Zhao says that he suffers a loss of 60 yuan per lost umbrella,——————————唐玲制作仅供学习交流——————————so the company is now in the red, but he is not ready to stop it just yet. Zhao announces that Sharing E Umbrella still plans to roll out（推出）30 million nationwide by the end of the year.24. What do we know about Sharing E Umbrella？A. It makes people learn to help each other.B. It needs people to make a small deposit first.C. It developed faster in the western countries.D. It produces more waste and causes disorder.25. What problem did Sharing E Umbrella meet after it was founded？A. The company had no money to produce umbrellas.B. Umbrellas are not allowed to hang anywhere.C. Lots of customers didn't give the umbrellas back.D. People refuse to pay deposit for the umbrellas.26. How much did his company lose if an umbrella was lost？A. 0.5 yuan.B. 19 yuan.C. 60 yuan.D. 120 yuan.27. We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. Zhao has found a way to get the umbrellas backB. Zhao will continue his umbrella sharing serviceC. Most of Zhao's companies have been closedD. Sharing E Umbrella is a failure for Zhao.C“A good book might clarify something you knew little about, transform your world view, or move you in ways you didn’t think possible. The Soul of an Octopus(章鱼)delivers on all three, ”the magazine New Scientist commented.After writing about birds, pigs and tigers, US naturalist Sy Montgomery decided to choose these many-footed animals as the subject of her latest book, The Soul of an Octopus: a surprising exploration into the wonder of consciousness.“Here is animal with poisonous liquid like a snake，a beak(喙)like a parrot，and ink like an old-fashioned pen. It can weigh as much as a man and extend as long as a car, yet it can pour its baggy; boneless body through an opening the size of all orange. It can change color and shape. It has a tongue covered with teeth. It can taste with its skin.”Montgomery explained to the National Geographic on why octopuses inspired her.What Montgomery is able to show in The Soul of an Octopus is that octopuses are creatures who exhibit personality, intelligence and emotion, despite having nervous systems completely different from our own. She uses different experiments to show that they possess consciousness as well as individual personalities. For example, based on her research, she finds out that Octavia, an octopus caught in the wild, is friendly and good at multi-tasking. And Kali, another octopus，who has been living at the New England Aquarium, is playful and loves exploring.Montgomery is a good storyteller. Through her study of, and communication with, these extraordinary creatures she shares what she learns from both science and her experiences. Her skillful writing presents facts together with personal description, which makes the book very informative but easy to read.28. Why is The Soul of an Octopus thought highly of ?A. It is themed with a many-footed animal.B. It mainly explores consciousness and wonders.C. It compares octopuses with birds, pigs and tigers.D. It offers new knowledge and changes your viewpoints.29. Octopuses impress Montgomery greatly because.A. they have unique physical functioningB. their liquid can be used as good inkC. they behave more like snakes and parrotsD. their body can be shrunk to the size of an orange30. What does Montgomery think of octopuses according to Paragraph 4?A. They are friendly with each other.B. They are similar to humans in a way.C. They communicate with humans well.D. They have different nature from humans.31. Which of the following best describes the book?A. Vivid but unreal.B. Scientific and readable.C. Boring and ridiculous.D. Interesting but fictional—————————— 唐玲制作仅供学习交流 ——————————唐玲DBack in 1969, it was the Apollo 11 crew who flew to the moon in a spaceship. WhenU.S. astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz ” Aldrin stepped foot on the moon, theywere the first. Meanwhile, their fellow astronaut Michael Coilins circled the moon in theirspaceship, named Columbia.When Armstrong and Aldrin were done with their walk ，they returned to the commandmodule, and back to Earth. That part of the spaceship is on view at the Smithsonian ’s Airand Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO (fear of missing out). They reach of their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day, they constantly check their social media apps for the latest updates.Despite the convenience smart phones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits. This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for Android operating system. This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.It all starts with a bird’s-eye view. Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits. For example, a user can see how many times they’re unlocked their phone and how many times they’re checked their social media apps,as well as how much time they spend on each app every day.Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day.But even if users become more mindful of their usage, they’re still likely to be drawn in by notification（通知）. Such feature automatically（自动地）silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts their phone face down.If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smart phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that.The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower.5. Who are the target users of Dashboard?A. People who know little about smart phones.B. People who have trouble dealing with stress.C. People who are slow at researching of things online.D. People who wish to manage the time they spend on their smart phones.6. What can Dashboard do?A. Lock the phone at a certain time.B. Limit some apps to certain users.C. Limit the time certain apps can be used.D. Silence app notifications at night.7. The underlined word “mindful” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.A. disappointedB. carefulC. preparedD. creative8. What does the author think of Dashboard?A. It’s not very useful.B. It’s perfectly designed.C. It should include more functions.D. It may be helpful to some people.CThe loud continuous noise of the cars or the sound of a plane can force its way into the deepest forest, yet it’s not only humans that are bothered by the noise.Bioacoustician Bernie Krause has been studying the effect of noise pollution on wildlife, and has come across some interesting behaviors, especially among animals that communicate by vocalization（发声）, like humans. Birds use sound to communicate, but in noisy places, these animals have to shout over the natural noise to be heard.Krause mentions a study of nightingales to clarify what he means. The birds responded to traffic noise by singing louder and louder until they actually went beyond noise pollution standards in the city. To belt out (sing loudly) their songs, they increased their lung pressure fivefold, but scientists state that this is not dangerous for the birds themselves.Studies show that sudden noise can cause certain birds to leave their nests, exposing the young to their enemies. One study also showed that songbirds that nested close to busy motorways were much less productive than those that nested farther away. Mammals（哺乳动物）too are affected. A recent study showed that nursing caribou responded to plane noise by not producing enough milk to feed their young.In some cases noise pollution can actually help some animals while harming others. Toads（蟾蜍）and frogs are known to vocalize in synchrony（同步；同步方式）so that no predator (their enemies) can zero in on them. Krause found that when planes flew overhead and disturbed the toad’s song, they lost their synchronicity, and it took them 45 minutes to get it back again. That gave their natural enemies plenty of time to find and catch individual toads by sound.According to Krause, “Not only will noise pollution bother wildlife, but it won’t help our lives either.”9. How do young caribou suffer from aircraft noise?A. They receive less food.B. They can’t sleep at night.C. They are often displaced.D. They can’t hear their mothers.10. What would happen if toads and frogs failed to sing in union?A. They might be caught by their predators easilyB. They would stop communicating.C. They would soon regain their rhythm.D. They might be unable to hunt in groups.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The effects of noise pollution on wildlife.B. The causes of noise pollution.C. Animals’ reaction to noises.D. The ways animals communicate with each other.DWhat should you think about in trying to find your career (职业)? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.12. Which of the following best sums up (总结) the first paragraph?A. The importance of doing well at school.B. The importance of being good at all subjects.C. Using school performance to help to choose a career.D. The indirect value of school work.13. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably____.A. a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB. a good way to earn extra moneyC. useful for his future workD. a good way to find out his weak points14. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?A. History.B. English.C. Technical Drawing.D. Mathematics.15. The whole passage focuses on____.A. developing one’s abilities useful in school workB. acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC. finding one’s strong and weak pointsD. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Now artificial intelligence (AI) is coming for the most glamorous ones. Hollywood has been at a standstill for half the year, until studios agreed on November 8th to offer (21)__________ (strike) stars protection from robotic rivals.Stars may worry that AI is stealing their work and giving less talented performers the skills to snatch their audience. In fact, the famous stars complaining (22)__________ (loud) about the new technology are the ones who benefit the most. (23)__________ __________ reducing star power, AI will make the biggest celebrities bigger than ever, by allowing them to be in all markets, in all formats, at all times. Put your hands together - or insert your earplugs if you prefer - for the rise of the omnistar.This is not the first time that technology (24)__________ (change) the rules of the fame game. People began to talk of stars in the 18th century, after the spread of reading made it possible to be truly famous within your lifetime. Film and radio initially seemed like a threat to stars, who worried that their live performances (25)__________ be devalued. In fact, those technologies ushered in (开创) the era of the superstar, a term that caught on in the 1920s.(26)__________ similar panic greeted the invention of television and led to the last big Hollywood strike in 1960. But again, the new tech made the famous even more so, bringing them into every living room.As AI-generated content floods into the entertainment business, it will give the megastars the ability to be truly ubiquitous for their fans. AI-powered dubbing is already allowing actors and podcasters to speak to foreign audiences instantly and in their own voice. It will soon be standard for video to be edited (27)__________ __________ their lips match the new language, too. Besides, removing the Hollywood problem of crowded schedules, AI allows stars to perform alongside each other while not being together at all.These opportunities come with concerns (28)__________ (attach). The risk is boredom. AI is brilliant at remixing old material, but not as adept at generating novel and the pulse-racing stuff (29)__________ is, for now, a human speciality. Yet the entertainment market is strongly self-correcting. Audiences have the power to turn “a hot property” into a has-been in an instant. And even as Al-powered entertainment grows, consumers still seem to relish human drama. In the AI age, audiences will face heavy exposure to a handful of omnistars, from Taylor Swift to Darth Vader. (30)__________ it will be easier than ever for them to change the channel.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. rateB. superiorityC. matchD. attributesE. measuresF. short-livedG. overestimated H. enduring I. disillusioned J. reframe K. biasYou are not perfectWe humans have a natural tendency to magnify our positive qualities, and compare ourselves favorably with others. This is called “self-enhancement 31 ”, and it gives rise to all sorts of distortions in perception. Famously, back in the 1980s, researchers suggested that up to 80 percent of motorists considered themselves to have above-average driving skills. If you’re a regular driver, you have to know that this cannot be true - even if you persist in believing it about yourself.People also tend to 32 themselves more highly on positive moral traits: the odds are, for example, that they see themselves as industrious, honest, and warm. This is particularly pronounced among young and middle-aged adults, who often rank themselves as excelling beyond the norm on muitiple 33 . One reason for this tendency is that it acts as protection against the mental pain that comes from negative comparisons with others.Being told that you’re wonderful, even perfect, plays into your need to enact self-enhancement. You might do it to yourself, such as self-talk to boost one’s esteem through positive affirmations. However, it is a(n) 34 solution to life’s problems. You’re bound to be confronted with a painful adjustment to the truth sooner or later. For instance, researchers publishing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology demonstrated that when college students harbored a(n) 35 view of their academic capabilities, it augmented their mood—indeed, they experienced heightened levels of happiness. But the perception of 36 did not translate into more satisfactory academic performance. In fact, that in part led to lower self-esteem.All of this can explain why so many young people today wind up seeing the world as hostile (敌对的): “If I’m wonderful, other people must be creating many problems.”Consequently, you can see how some would feel 37 and wronged when confronted with a reality about their performance in school or at work that doesn’t 38 their self-enhancement propaganda (宣传).So we face a dilemma in life: we aspire to enhance our own well-being and to elevate the emotional state of others, but people’s tendency to do so through self-enhancement may possibly yield 39 ultimate costs. Here are some pearls of wisdom to consider: 40 your imperfections, not as failings but as interesting puzzles to solve.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.What Does It Really Mean To Learn?During my sophomore year, I read “Middlemarch” and didn’t understand why Dorothea, a young and intelligent woman, despite warnings, married an annoying old man and, after 40 years of unfulfilled dreams and compromises, got divorced, finally realizing her grave mistake. Neither did my classmates, which frustrated our professor. “You’ll understand when you’re forty.” he said. At that age, we had never experienced the consequences of a hasty marriage, a career misstep, or the loss of a loved one.41 , it’s one of the tragedies of humanities education that so much of it occurs between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two. We don’t teach people to drive at twelve, when they’re carless; why should we make themread novels about life’s 42 when they have none? Yet there’s a theory behind: it’s that knowledge acquired too early gets stored. Patterns of thinking established now will be 43 later; ideas encountered first in art will prime us for the rest of life. This sounds vague until you reflect on the fact that knowledge almost never arrives at the moment of its 44 . You take a class in law school today only to argue a complicated case years later; you learnC.P.R. years before saving a drowning man; you read online about how to prevent a(n) 45 bear, because you never know.Leslie Valiant, a renowned computer scientist, calls our ability to learn over the long term “educability” and he embraces it as the key to our success. When we think about what makes our minds special, we tend to focus on 46 . But if we want to grasp reality in all its complexity, then “cleverness is not enough.” We need to build flexible theories about the world — theories that will serve us in 47 circumstances—and we do that by collecting different types of knowledge, often gradually and unexpectedly and then 48 them together. Through this process, we acquire systems of beliefs that are 49 than the ones we can create through direct personal experience.An educable mind, he writes, can learn from books, lectures, conversations, and experiences—from anything. Educability is similar to “ 50 smarts” which means having a practical ability to handle life’s challenges, and is closely related to having common sense in real-world contexts. When people strike us as particularly “well-educated”, this might mean that they’ve had lots of school, but it could also mean that they’re 51 educable, with the ability to “ 52 of whatever educational opportunities arise.”Valiant thinks at a time when accelerating technological change means there’s always more to learn, we might seek to create a more educable society in general. As for me, I would seek to learn about a wider range of disciplines, and simply try more things. Down in the basement, “Middlemarch” is there, along with many other books that I read casually then but have come to 53 with the passage of time. Reading widely about things that don’t seem immediately useful, in the hope that what you learn now may prove meaningful later—that’s pretty much the definition of a 54 education. Who knew that one of its best 55 would turn out to be a computer scientist?41. A. Scientifically B. Naturally C. Surprisingly D. Arguably42. A. happiness B. challenges C. regrets D. knowledge43. A. retraced B. repeated C. reopened D. reassured44. A. learning B. absorption C. application D. acquisition45. A. sleeping B. wandering C. roaring D. charging46. A. intelligence B. creativity C. imagination D. empathy47. A. unfolded B. unanticipated C. unreal D. related48. A. analyzing B. classifying C. knitting D. diversifying49. A. broader B. greater C. shallower D. newer50. A. cognition B. relationship C. study D. street51. A. exceptionally B. consistently C. coincidentally D. merely52. A. make control B. take charge C. on account D. take advantage53. A. perceive B. memorize C. realize D. value54. A. well-rounded B. professional C. technology D. public55. A. creators B. winners C. defenders D. writersSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Human beings around the world delight in hot and spicy foods. Thai, Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Ethiopian—the dishes that can take the roof off your mouth are numerous and flavourful. As you have these intense tastes, however, you may wonder, why do some dishes compete for the title of spicy champion, while others feature barely the hint of a burn?This is a question that has interested food historians for some time. Indeed, it’s a curious truth that places with warm climates do seem to have a heavier preponderance (优势) of hot and spicy dishes, which may have something to do with the fact that some spices have antimicrobial features, studies have found.In one survey of cookbooks from around the world, researchers note: “As mean annual temperatures increased, the proportion of recipes containing spices, number of spices per recipe, total number of spices used, and use of the most effective antibacterial spices all increased.” In hot places where before refrigeration food would have gone off very quickly, spices might have helped things keep a bit longer.It’s also been suggested that because spicy food makes most people sweat, it might help us to cool off in hot parts of the world. One study of people who drank hot water after exercise showed that they did cool down slightly more than those who drank cold water, but only in situations with low humidity. Thailand in August, that ain’t.But spice is hardly limited to the hot parts. While chilli peppers are originally from the Americas, this particular kind of heat grew widespread in the 15th and 16th centuries. Other spices not spicy in the same way as peppers, perhaps, but still strongly flavoured—had been circulating in Europe for centuries. Heavily spiced dishes were the darlings of many cuisines we currently don’t think of for their zing (活力): numerous recipes in one 18th-century British cookery book include strong spices, for instance. What happened?Well, one possibility is that it became a bit uncivilized to like quite so many flavours in one’s food, as Maanvi Singh has written over at The Salt. What we now consider classic European cuisine has a tendency to focus on pairing like flavours with like, rather than bringing in a crowd of strong, contrasting ones. That may be because, as spice prices dropped dramatically in Europe in the 1600s and it became easier for just anyone to season their food with them, tastemakers fell out of love with them. They began to emphasize dishes where the focus was the purest essence of the basic ingredients combined with flavours that served to bring that out. In a word, it may have been snobbery, Singh writes, that erased the joy of spice from many European tastes.56. Which of the following cuisines does NOT value hot and spicy flavour?A. Food in Europe before the 1600s.B. Dishes from places with warm climates.C. Food in the Americas.D. Dishes in today’s Britain.57. Which of the following is true about the relationship between temperature and spice?A. The higher the temperature is, the more spices are used.B. The lower the temperature is, the more chilli peppers are consumed.C. The higher the temperature is, the more expensive it is to get spices.D. The lower the temperature is, the more strongly flavoured the food is.58. In Paragraph 4, what does the sentence “Thailand in August, that ain’t” mean?A. People in Thailand don’t enjoy spicy food.B. Summer in Thailand doesn’t boast hot weather.C. Thai people don’t enjoy cold drinks in summer.D. Drinking hot water doesn’t help cool Thai people down.59. According to Maanvi Singh, today’s Europeans prefer pure tastes rather than strong, contrasting flavours, most probably because ________.A. the spice prices have grown too high for ordinary peopleB. people have been too used to food seasoned with spicesC. spice no longer represents a special right or advantageD. strongly flavoured spices no longer circulate in Europe(B)Memory expert Professor Jemima Gryaznov answers your most common questions about memory.1.____________________We remember the things that have strong connections in our mind, especially emotional connections. Childhood memories are often very emotional: we experience things for the first time so we have strong feelings of fear or excitement. Retelling events also helps to fix them in our memories and interesting or funny stories from our childhood are often told again and again!2. Do some people really have a photographic memory?It is well known that some people have an extraordinary memory. Daniel Tammet, for example, can remember the first 22,500 digits of pi and Stephen Wiltshire can draw a detailed picture of a city from memory after flying over it in a helicopter. However, neither Daniel nor Stephen has a photographic memory. They are good at remembering particular things for a limited time. A person with a photographic memory could remember every detail of a picture, a book or an event many years later. No one has yet proved that they have a photographic memory in a scientific test.3. Is computer memory better than human memory?That depends on what you mean by “better”! Information in a computer is stored in separate pieces. Human memory is stored in a different way. Each piece of information is connected to many other pieces. That’s why a particular smell can bring back memories of a holiday or a person. The problem with human memory is that it is messy and not very accurate. The problem with computer memory is that it can’t make connections between pieces of information — it isn’t creative.4. I’m 24. Is my memory getting worse?Not yet, but it will do soon. Our memory reaches its full power at the age of 25. At that point we can remember up to 200 pieces of information a second. After this age, however, the brain starts to get smaller. By the age of 40 weare losing 10,000 brain cells every day. By middle age our memory is significantly worse than when we were young.5. Is it possible to remember early childhood?Scientists used to believe that it was impossible to remember very early childhood, but recent research shows that babies are much cleverer than we previously thought. Some people really can remember being a baby. Others, however, remember nothing before the age of five or even ten!60. Which of the following questions best fits the blank in the passage?A. What can we do to improve our memory as we grow older?B. Can childhood memories help us remember what has happened recently?C. How do we establish emotional connections with our childhood experiences?D. Why can I remember events in my childhood but not what happened last week?61. What can we learn about photographic memory?A. Only some of us can benefit from it.B. There is no reliable evidence that it exists.C. We cannot acquire it without specialized training.D. It enables us to remember details in a limited time.62. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A. In most cases information is separately stored in human memory.B. Human’s ability to memorize things declines as the brain gets smaller.C. Computer memory is better than human memory from many perspectives.D. Whether we can remember our early-childhood needs more scientific research.(C)Dr. Donald Sadoway at MIT started his own battery company with the hope of changing the world’s energy future. It’s a dramatic endorsement (认可) for a technology most people think about only when their smartphone goes dark. But Sadoway isn’t alone in boasting about energy storage as a missing link to a cleaner, more efficient, and more equitable energy future.Scientists and engineers have long believed in the promise of batteries to change the world. Advanced batteries are moving out of specialized markets and creeping into the mainstream, signaling a tipping point for forward-looking technologies such as electric cars and rooftop solar propels.The ubiquitous (无所不在的) battery has already come a long way, of course. For better or worse, batteries make possible our mobile-first lifestyles, our screen culture, our increasingly globalized world. Still, as impressive as all this is, it may be trivial compared with what comes next. Having already enabled a communications revolution, the battery is now poised to transform just about everything else.The wireless age is expanding to include not just our phones, tablets, and laptops, but also our cars, homes, and even whole communities. In emerging economies, rural communities are bypassing the wires and wooden poles that spread power. Instead, some in Africa and Asia are seeing their first lightbulbs illuminated by the power of sunlight stored in batteries.Today, energy storage is a $33 billion global industry that generates nearly 100 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year. By the end of the decade, it’s expected to be worth over 50 billion dollars and generate 160 gigawatt-hours,enough to attract the attention of major companies that might not otherwise be interested in a decidedly pedestrian technology. Even utility companies, which have long viewed batteries and alternative forms of energy as a threat, are learning to embrace the technologies as enabling rather than disrupting.Today’s battery breakthroughs come as the world looks to expand modern energy access to the billion or so people without it, while also cutting back on fuels that warm the planet. Those simultaneous challenges appear less overwhelming with increasingly better answers to a centuries-old question: how to make power portable.To be sure, the battery still has a long way to go before the nightly recharge completely replaces the weekly trip to the gas station. A battery-powered world comes with its own risks, too. What happens to the centralized electric grid, which took decades and billions of dollars to build as: more and more people become “prosumers”, who produce and consume their own energy on site?No one knows which—if any—battery technology will ultimately dominate, but one thing remains clear. The future of energy is in how we store it.63. What does Dr. Sadoway think of energy storage?A. It involves the application of sophisticated technology.B. It is the direction energy development should follow.C. It will prove to be a profitable business.D. It is a technology benefiting everyone.64. What is most likely to happen when advanced batteries become widely used?A. Mobile-first lifestyles will become popular.B. The globalization process will be accelerated.C. Communications will take more diverse forms.D. The world will undergo revolutionary changes.65. In some rural communities of emerging economies, people have begun to ________.A. find digital devices simply indispensableB. communicate primarily by mobile phoneC. light their homes with stored solar energyD. distribute power with wires and wooden poles66. What does the author imply about the centralized electric grid?A. It might become a thing of the past.B. It might turn out to be a “prosumer”C. It will be easier to operate and maintain.D. It will have to be completely transformed.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Both the gorgeous (非常美丽的) and non-gorgeous improved by being with other people.B. Sometimes the subjects in the pictures were shown as part of a three-person group.C. It turns out that people don’t even need to be in an actual group to look more attractive.D. It’s no secret that our definition of beauty is defined by a very clear set of physical norms.E. A big nose in the company of a small nose does not look bigger still; rather, both noses move closer to the average.F. While being average-looking might seem like a bad thing, the research suggests that’s not necessarily the case for attractiveness.According to a new study just published in Psychological Science, any one person seen in a group just seems better looking than when viewed alone. The reason: human eyes average things out, and when it comes to faces, average is usually good.67 Facial analysis studies show the symmetry (对称) is almost always regarded as prettier that asymmetry and the most beautiful faces are the ones on which eyes are no more or less than a certain distance apart, and the forehead, chin, cheeks and other features take up no more than a certain share of the whole. It’s the reason that models may be gorgeous but can prove awfully difficult to tell apart.“Perhaps,” says psychological scientist Drew Walker of the University of California, San Diego, in a statement that accompanied the release of the study, “beautiful people are all alike, but every unattractive person is unattractive in their own ways.”To test how that plays out in a group setting, Walker and his UCSD collaborator, psychological scientist Edward Vul, recruited 130 undergraduate students and showed them pictures of 100 different men and women. 68 Other times they were cut out to show just one face at a time. Still other times, the faces were taken out of context and arranged on a simple grid (风格) of either four, nine or 16 faces.Consistently, the researchers found, the sole shots were regarded as less attractive than the faces viewed in a group—whether in a real setting or on the grid. This was true regardless of the gender of the subjects and regardless of whether they would broadly be described as following most definitions of attractiveness or unattractiveness. 69 The explanation for the phenomenon, they believe, is the averaging effect and how it works. 70 “Individuals with complementary features—one person with narrow eyes and one person with wide eyes—would enjoy a greater boost in attractiveness when seen together, as compared to groups composed of individuals who have similar features,” Walker and Vul write.Ⅳ. Summary Writing71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Curiosity Is an Increasingly Rare VirtueMost of the breakthrough discoveries and remarkable inventions throughout history, from flints (打火石) for starting a fire to self-driving cars, have something in common: They are the result of curiosity. But the journalist Ian Leslie, in his newly-published book Curious:The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends on It, insists that curiosity is a much-overlooked human virtue, crucial to our success, and we are losing it.Leslie presents considerable evidence for the claim that the society as a whole is growing less curious. In the U.S. and Europe, for example, the rise of the Internet, among other social and technological changes, has led to a declining consumption of news from outside the reader’s borders. Indeed, Google, for which Leslie expresses admiration, is also his frequent whipping boy (替罪羊): we seek only the information we want. But not everything is to be blamed on。

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to put up a nest and place it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick inthe nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chic ks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied(陪伴) in the nest by the greatest sight of all —Lunch! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.4.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A.Efforts made in vain(徒劳的).B.Getting injured in his work.C.Feeling uncertain about his future.D.Creatures forced out of their homes.5.Why was the author called to Muttontown?A.To rescue a woman.B.To take care of a woman.C.To look at a baby owl.D.To cure(治愈) a young owl.6.What made the chick calm down?A. A new nest.B.Some food.C. A recording.D.Its parents.7.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A.It’s unexpected.B. It’s beautiful.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.CSuppose you’re in a rush, feeling tired, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you in trouble.Realisation will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “send”. You freeze in horror and burn with shame.What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to handle. Clicking “send”too soonDon’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.Writing the wrong timeThe sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offered, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(I.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).Clicking “reply all”unintentionallyYou accidentally reveal(透露)to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, wheneveryone starts hitting “reply all”to join in a long and unpleasant conversation.In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down. Sending an offensive message to it’s subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, butaccidentally send it to the person you’r e discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity tic hear up any difficulties you may have with this person.8.After realizing an email accident, you are likely to feel _______.A. curiousB. tiredC. awfulD. funny9.If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.A. apologise in a serious mannerB. tell the receiver to ignore the errorC. learn to write the name correctlyD. send a short notice to everyone10. What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all”email?A. Try offering other choices.B. Avoid further involvement(参与).C. Meet other staff members.D. Make a light-hearted apology.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Defining email errors.B. Reducing email mistakes.C. Handling email accidents.D. Improving email writing.DThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation.Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly wh en dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silenceso that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.12. What does the author say about silence in conversations?A. It implies anger.B. It promotes friendship.C. It is culture-specific.D. It is content-based.13. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A. The Chinese.B. The French.C. The M exicans.D. The Russians.14. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.B. Break it while treating patients.C. Evaluate its harm to patients.D. Make use of its healing effects.15. What may be the best title for the text?A. Sound and SilenceB. What It Means to Be SilentC. Silence to Native AmericansD. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AAn 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow(乌鸦) rested on their window. The father asked his son, “What is this?”The son replied “It is a crow.”After a few seconds the father asked his son the second time, “What is this?”The son said, “Father, I just now told you; it is a crow.”After a little while, the old man again asked his son the third time, “What is this?”At this time some expression of anger was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father, “It is a crow, a crow.”A little later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is it?”This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you so many times it is a crow. Are you not able to understandthis?”A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. The following words were written in it:Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa. When a crow was sitting on the window, my son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel angry. I rather felt affection for my innocent(单纯的) child.So……If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but be kind to them.

You’re like a sponge (海绵), able to suck up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is thrilled to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any setting, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.28.
