A
Keep Running into Mary Richards When I was 13，I first met Mary Richards，the central character in the sitcom(situation comedy)"The Mary Tyler Moore Show". She was a single and independent career w oman. As soon as I heard the show’s theme song Who can turn the world on with her smile?，I was hooked. My friends were huge fans as well. Passing in the hallway at school，we would shout to each other，trying to imitate(模仿)Mary’s accent. “Hi，Rho! See you later，kid?”
The show lasted seven years , but our fascination(着迷)faded earlier. But that wasn’ t the end of Mary for me. In the 1990s，when I was single，living alone in a city，a TV-station began airing reruns of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" at 10 p.m. I was hooked all over again. But this time was different. The way she handled her career and relationships，sending a clear message that being 30-plus and single was just fine，won my respect on a whole new level.
Once again，however，life moved on. I went to live in a different city，and 10 p.m.
became the perfect time to call my mother each night. For me，talking to Mom was always a great pleasure. So when my mom passed away，it was as if the sun had gone out of the sky. That feeling seemed particularly intense at 10 p.m.，when I’d find myself staring at my silent phone. And then I heard the song I’d first heard at age 13，Who can turn the world on with her smile?. Mary Richards，of course! Thanks to the wonder of technology，Mary was now as close as my phone. So every night at 10，I would dial up an episode of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”
Weeks later，I realized I didn’t need my nightly sessions with Mary anymore，because
mom’s and Mary’s elegance was showing itself in other corners of my life and，once again，I was ready to move on.

While the world is still debating the safety of self-driving cars，Dubai is preparing to launch an autonomous flying taxi. Starting in July the world' s first passenger drone(无人机)，the EHang 184，will be available to passengers.
The shuttle，released in Las Vegas in January 2016，weighs 440 pounds and can fly at
heights of up to 11，500 feet. The egg-shaped vehicle has room for a single passenger weighing up to 220 pounds and a small suitcase. Though the flying taxi can reach
speeds of up to 100mph，it will typically operate at about 62 mph.
Passengers can ask for the flying taxi to pick them up from appointed zones using a smartphone app. Passengers strap into the seat，select a destination on the touchscreen，and enjoy the flight. To ensure the passenger’s safety，all flights are monitored remotely by a control room on the ground.
In the unlikely event that any of the components malfunction or disconnect，the drone will make an emergency landing to ensure the customer’s safety. It’s also programmed to ensure its route won’t a ffect that of another drone. While having no control over the remotely piloted vehicle may appear scary，the producer，China-based EHang, says，"It is the safest，smartest and eco-friendly low altitude autonomous flying vehicle.”Any drawback? The EHang 184 has a battery life of 30 minutes and a flight range of just 31 miles. Also unknown is the cost of each ride.
Though the flying taxi seems advanced，it is not the first driverless transportation option available to Dubai’s residents. As part of its goal to have 25% of public transportation be automated by 2030，the authorities have built the world’s longest driverless metro and introduced self-navigating shuttles. Officials recently also partnered with a US company to build supersonic speed gods to carry passengers between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
8. What can we learn about the flying taxi?
A. A passenger can call for a flying taxi online.
B .It can carry a weight of 220 pounds at most.
C. A passenger can touch the screen to control it.
D. It usually flies at a speed of 100 miles an hour.
9. How can the shutt le guarantee a passenger’s safety in an equipment failure?
A. It lowers its flying speed.
B. It changes to another route.
C. It gets help from the control room.
D. It’s programed to land autonomously.
10. What is the drawback of the EHang 184?
A. It’s too scary to ride in it. B . It costs a lot to take a ride.
C. It runs out of power easily. D .It only flies at a low altitude.
11. Which of the following makes the EHang 184?
A. A Chinese company.
B.A company in Dubai.
C. An American company.
D.A company in Abu Dhabi.

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication, e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations found that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred po sitive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New Yor k Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Ti mes’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”
12 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?
A. News reports.
B. Research papers. C .Private e-mails. D. Daily
conversations．
13. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?
A. They’re socially inactive.
B. They’re good at telling stories.
C. They’re inco nsiderate of others.
D. They’re careful with their words.
14.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?
A . Sports new. B. Science articles. C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.
15 .What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide B .Online News Attracts More People C. Reading Habits Change with the Times D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks
II.七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Why does gratitude matter?
Gratitude doesn’t just feel good. 16 Like other positive emotions, feeling grateful on a regular basis can have a big effect on our lives. Brain Research shows that positive emotions are good for our bodies, minds, and brains.
Positive emotions help us see more possibilities and take in more information. They increase our ability to develop skills. 17
Positive emotions balance negative emotions out. People who often feel grateful and appreciative are happier, less stressed, and less depressed. Gratitude is like a U-turn on complaining or thinking about what we don’t have.18 When we feel grateful, we might also feel happy, calm, joyful, or glad.
Gratitude can lead to positive actions. When we feel grateful for someone’s kindness towards us, we may be more likely to do a kindness in return. 19 Thanking people can make it more likely that they’ll do a kindness again.
20 When we feel and express heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to people in our lives, it creates loving bonds, builds trust, and helps you feel closer.
When we make it a habit to feel grateful and appreciative, it increases our awareness of good things as they happen. That set of attitude of gratitude has positive effects on our mood.
A. It might make you suffer a lot.
B. One positive emotion often leads to another.
C. Gratitude helps us build better relationships.
D. Making a habit of gratitude can also be good for us.
E. In addition, they help us to learn and make good decisions.
F. Find out who you appreciate and what the reasons might be.
G. Your gratitude also can have a positive effect on someone else’s actions.

Many sports players have not only accomplished incredible acts of athleticism(运动能力), but also unbelievable acts of sportsmanship. There were some 21 examples in 2014, and I’ve 22 two that inspired me.

Brazilian defender David Luiz walked over to him, pointed at him, and 33 the crowd to acknowledge him. He then declared his 34 for a game well played and 35 him for his wonderful World Cup performance. It made both the crowd and Rodriguez 36 .
As an athlete, I know it's easy to get caught up in the 37 of a game. But I also know that 38 is just as important as winning and losing.

书面表达
Good morning, everyone! I feel greatly honored to speak here. What I’d like to introduce to you is Nian’gao, which is one
of the most popular and typical dishes eaten during the Spring Festival. Nian’gao is a kind of rice pudding and it can be roasted, fried, or steamed. A s the name suggests, Nian’gao symbolizes abundance, wealth and prosperity for both the family and the country.
In the Chinese New Year, eating Nian’gao, people may think of “Nian”. Then what is “Nian”?Nian was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year. But Nian was frightened of red color and cracker sound. So our ancestors would put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors, and set off fire-crackers to scare away Nian. Today we still keep these traditions, feeling the red color and the cracker sound add to the excitement and atmosphere of the celebration.
That’s all. Thank you for listening.
