These hotels provide many extra services. You probably can count on having bathrobes,hair dryers,and a minibar in your room. Beware of minibars. You can be surprised when you pay your bill.When you arrive,a doorman greets you,and a porter takes your bags. Tip the porter atleast $ 1 per bag. If the doorman calls a taxi for you, tip him $ 1. If he has to stand out in the rain,you might want to tip more.The porter takes the bags to your room. Sometimes the desk clerk will direct you to the room,and the porter will follow with the bags. The porter or bellman will open and show you the room. If you don’t like the room,ask the porter to call the front desk about a replacement.The next thing you should do,no matter what sort of hotel, is to find the emergency and fire exits. Check to see whether you need more towels, pillows, blankets, hangers,or an iron. If you do, call housekeeping right away. Calling late at night, when there is a reduced staff,can create difficulties and delays.Fancy hotels have a concierge, in the European tradition. The concierge desk is generally located near the registration desk. Here you can obtain theater, concert, and sports tickets? look at local restaurant menus and make dining reservations; and find out about car rentals, sightseeing tours,babysitters,and even traffic and weather conditions. A good concierge is a miracle worker who seems to know everything about everything.20.What do you have to pay for after use at a fancy hotel according to the passage?A.The iron.B. The bathrobe.C.

As a child, Tina was a violinist and spent her free time practicing and practicing. One day she participated in a violin contest and realized that she would never be more than an ordinary violinist and that she enjoyed singing more. She gave up the violin, took up singing and became a leading international opera singer. Her courage to give up is what allowed her to become a world famous opera singer. Now try to guess what these somewhat successful people have in common-Larry Page,Tiger Woods,John McEnroe and John Steinbeck. Yes, they all dropped out of Stanford. Look at many other successful people and I bet their past is also filled with things they did at one time and then gave up. There are a number of cognitive(认知的）processes that make it hard for us to leave our present situation and move ) on to something new—even when we feel miserable with the present situation. We think “I've invested so much in th is already. If I quit,all will have been wasted. M Once we have something,we hate to lose it. Things we don’t have yet don’t carry the same value. These cognitive thoughts might help explain why people stay stuck in bad jobs, bad marriages, unhappy friendship,etc.To sum up, sometimes you’ve got to stick with somethings even through tough times；but sometimes you have to have the courage to give up. You have to be open to the fact that sometimes giving up is the right way forward.24.What can be learned about Tina Kiberg?A.She used to be a violin player.B.Her talent in violin was ignored.C.She was forced to give up the violin.D.She considered herself the best violinist.25.What do we know about many successful people from Para. 2?A.They felt miserable in universities.B.They were faced with many failures.C.They usually have nothing in common.D.They know well when to give something up.26.Why are people unwilling to give up according to Para 3?A.Because they have wasted too much.B.Because they stay stuck in bad conditions.C.Because they are afraid of losing what they have.D.Because they feel miserable with the present situation.27.What is the author’s comment on “giving up” according to the passage?A.It carries little value.B.It leads to hard times.C.It is sometimes a better choice.D.It is always very important to be successful.Question 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.Regular exercise can help you build stronger muscles, shake off illnesses?and make your cloth es fit a whole lot better. But there’s another benefit: even moderate exercise seems to take years off your age. Of course, you cant change your age, but exercise can improve your health so that you look and feel younger than you are.Exercise gives you more energy. Exercise fires up your brain and body so you feel more energetic. Exercise puts your body in a state of excitement,which means more vitality and a greater sense of well being. Daily tasks become less tiring and require less effort. It's the kind of energy that makes you feel like you are a decade or two younger.Exercise keeps your skin soft and glowing. Researchers studied a small group of adults between ages 20 and 84. The frequent exercisers who were over age 40 had skin that resembled the younger skin of people in their 20s and 30s. The difference had nothing to do with sun exposure, which would age your skin faster, reported the research team, they guess that exercise creates body substances that help slow aging in skin, though they say more research is needed to learn how exercise works.Moreover,exercise helps you sleep soundly. Restful sleep is like a fountain of youth, and exercise helps you achieve it. Research shows that regular exercisers fall asleep more easily and are more likely to experience deep sleep. Exercise tires you out,sure,but there's v more to it than that. Sleeping well helps all the systems in your body function optimally,so d you're less likely to suffer sleeplessness. A recent study finds that getting at least 150 minutes of exercise per week improves sleep quality by 65%.28.What do we know about sun exposure according to the passage?A.It leads to faster aging in skin.B.It encourages more exercise.C.It makes the exerciser sweat.D.It creates body substances.29.What can we learn from Para, 3?A.The researchers think exercise helps the skin work faster.B.The researchers are not sure how exercise works on skin.C.Exercise brings more sun exposure to the skin.D.Exercise only works on people under 40.30.How does exercise affect people's sleep?A. It improves sleep quality,B. It increases the length of sleep.C. It helps people sleep regularly.D. It makes people less tired in sleep.31.Which would be the best title of the passage?A. Exercise and Sounder Sleep,B. Exercise and Stronger Muscles.C. Exercise Increases Sun Exposure.D. Exercise Makes You Look Younger. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.Every year, Americans throw away 50 billion food and drink cans, 27 billion glass bottles and jars, and 65 billion can covers. More than 30% of our waste is packaging materials. Where does it all go? Some 85% of our garbage is sent to a dump,or a landfill, where h can take from 100 to 400 years for things like cloth and aluminum （铝）to decompose. Glass has been found in perfect condition after 4,000 years in the earth!We are quickly running out of space. It's time to learn the three R's of the environment ：reduce, reuse,and recycle.Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the best way to help the environment. For example：you can buy products that don't have a lot of packaging. You can also look for things that are packed in materials that don't require a lot of energy or resources to produce. Instead of buying something you're not going to use very often, borrow it from someone you know. Save energy by turning off lights that you are not using.Instead of throwing things away,try to find ways to use them again! Bring cloth bags to the store with you instead of taking home new paper or plastic bags. You can use these bags again and again. Plastic containers and reusable lunch bags are great ways to take your lunch to school without creating waste. Use all writing paper on both sides.In some towns you can leave your recyclables in bins outside your homeland a truck will come and collect them regularly. Other towns have recycling centers where you can drop off the materials you've collected. Things like paper and plastic grocery bags, plastic and aluminum cans and bottles can often be brought to the grocery store for recycling. Whatever your system is,it's important to remember to clean and sort your recyclables!32.What does the first paragraph tell us?A.How much waste Americans produce annually.B.How many things Americans waste each year.C.How a landfill contains waste.D.How long glass can endure.33.What does the word decompose (Para. 1) probably mean?A. Recycle.B. Reduce.C. Produce.D. Decay34.Why are cloth bags recommended?A. Because they require fewer resources for production.B. Because they can be recycled many times.C. Because they can be used repeatedly.D. Because they require less energy for production.35.How many specific recycling systems are mentioned in the last paragraph?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.Part ⅢClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.

If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements. Is it true or false?Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins.Statement 2:When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类) foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.Statement 3:Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy.

Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, sowomen can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.21.What is the role of most women in Ghana?A. Handling various housework at home.B. Taking care of children indoors.C. Farming and trading out of house.D. Working as well as maintaining families.22.“self-reliance” could be explained as “__________”.A. making great wealthB. depending on oneselfC. caring for one’s ownD. being a reliable person23.What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?A. Beautiful and charming.B. Skillful at sewing or baking.C. Depending totally on husbands.D. Working hard to earn incomes.24.Paragraph 3 describes__________.A. how traditional extended families operateB. why women in Ghana have more burdens nowC. how changes in life help the working womenD. the new life style of Ghana’s peopleOn the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.If you have the blues it means you feel very sad. You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home. But blue songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.Sometimes the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.Blues began in the country in the South. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W. C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, “The St. Louis Blues”.26.After the Civil War, the Black people _________.A. were mostly slavesB. still led a hard lifeC. enjoyed their new life with familiesD. worked on their own farms27.At the very beginning, the blues were _________.A. not performed on formal occasionsB. traditional songs of the Black peopleC. about the life of travelling musiciansD. very popular throughout the nation28.What kind of emotion does the blues express?A.

You’re special.If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip. It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito’s eyes. She stabs the proboscis tip into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood vessel, she’ll get a full dinner in about a minute. After that, the mosquito is tired. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot---on a leave or a stone---to lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.31.By the sentence “you are acquainted with the mosquito--although you probably wish you weren’t”, the author means that people_________.A. don’t like mosquito but it is always thereB. know mosquito and wish them wellC. wish all the mosquito disappearedD. want to be friendly to mosquito but fail at last32.Why is it only female mosquito that bites?A.

If it was something along the lines of law or business, you might want to look away now. That’s because according to new research, which has found a link between our university subjects and our personalities, you have selfish, uncooperative tendencies and are not very in touch with your feelings. On the plus side, you’re probably the life and soul of a party, the findings suggest.Researchers analyzed data from more than 13,000 university students who were involved in 12 separate studies. From this, they discovered a correlation between the “Big Five” major personality traits and the subjects they were enrolled on.For example, those studying law, economics, political science and medicine tended to be much more outgoing than those taking other subjects, the study found. But when it came to “agreeableness”—the tendency towards being helpful, generous and considerate—the lawyers scored particularly low, as did business and economics students.Arts and humanities students, as well as those studying psychology and politics scored highly for openness, meaning they were curious, imaginative and in touch with their inner feelings, while economists, engineers, lawyers and scientists scored comparatively low. However, the arts and humanities students also tended to be less conscientious and more nervous, typically exhibiting signs of anxiety and moodiness. Psychology students were not far behind arts and humanities students for these traits.Study author Anna Vedel, from the university of Aarhus in Denmark, said she was surprised by the magnitude of the results. “The effect sizes show that the differences found are not trivial, far from,” she said. “On the more humorous side they do confirm our more or less prejudicial stereotypes of the disturbed psychologist, the withdrawn natural scientist, the cynical economist.And she said that the findings could help those school pupils who currently have no idea what to study at university, as well as helping academics to plan their lectures. “I’m not arguing that these results should play a major role in either guidance or selection, but it might provide some inspiration for students that are in doubt study choices and want to make a choice based on more than abilities, for example.” said Dr. Vedel. “Or teachers might better understand their student population.”21. The first paragraph implies that law or business students may _____.A. be amused by the researchB. be interested by the researchC. dislike the researchD. enjoy the research22. According to the research, law students scored particularly low in the trait of___.A. generosityB. opennessC. anxietyD. selfishness23. The word “conscientious” (Para. 4) probably means“_____”.A. moodyB.sensitiveC. curiousD. careful24. Anna Vedel stated that the research _____.A. confirmed the link between personality and professionB. showed that the differences were far from significantC. was not reliable because of its prejudicial observationD. did not have enough samples to support its observation25. According to Anna Vedel, the research may help _____.A. students make wise choice in finding jobsB. teachers understand their students betterC. students make presentation more academicallyD. school pupils go to better universitiesPassage TwoAlphaGo’s victory over Go (围棋) champion Lee Se-dol reportedly shocked artificial intelligence experts, who thought such an event was 10 to 15 years away. But if the timing was a surprise, the outcome was not. On the contrary, it was inevitable and entirely foreseeable.Playing complex games is precisely what computers do supremely well. Just as they beat the world champions at checkers (跳棋) and then chess, they were destined to beat the champion at Go. Yet I don’t believe, as some do, that human defeats like this one presage an era of mass unemployment in which awesomely able computers leave most of us with nothing to do. Advancing technology will profoundly change the nature of high-value human skills and that is threatening, but we aren’t doomed.The skills of deep human interaction, the abilities to manage the exchanges that occur only between people, will only become more valuable. Three of these skills stand out. The first, the foundation of the rest, is empathy, which is more than just feeling someone else’s pain. It’s the ability to perceive what another person is thinking or feeling, and to respond in an appropriate way.The second is creative problem-solving in groups. Research on group effectiveness shows that the key isn’t team cohesion or motivation or even the smartest member’s IQ; rather, it’s the social sensitivity of the members, their ability to read one another and keep anyone from dominating.The third critical ability, somewhat surprisingly, is storytelling, which has not traditionally been valued by organizations. Charts, graphs and data analysis willcontinue to be important, but that’s exactly what technology does so well. To change people’s minds or inspire them to act, tell them a story.These skills, though basic to our humanity, are fundamentally different from the skills that have been the basis of economic progress for most of human history, such as logic, knowledge and analysis, which we learned from textbooks and in classrooms. By contrast, the skills of deep human interaction address the often irrational reality of how human beings behave, and we find them not in textbooks but inside ourselves. As computers master ever more complexity, that’s where we’ll find the source of our continued value.26. According to the author, AlphaGo’svitory _____.A. could have happened earlierB. came as a pleasant surpriseC. was an expected resultD. was more a matter of luck27. The word “presage” (Para. 2) is closest in meaning to “_____ ”A. surviveB. sufferC. inventD. predict28. What is the author’s attitude towards the human future in face of technology?A. UnclearB. ConfusedC. WorriedD. Optimistic29. Which of the following is the most fundamental to human interaction?A. Social sensitivity of group members to understand each other.B. Strong ability to share people’s feelings and respond.C. Team spirit to make sure that everyone is involved.D. Inspirational storytelling to motivate people to act.30. According to the author, the skills of deep human interaction _____.A. are the source of true human values in the futureB. can work with knowledge to make the world betterC. are similar to the skills of human logic and analysisD. can be learned from textbooks and in classroomsPassage ThreeLast year, I went WWOOFing (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) at a beautiful organic farm in La Reunion. With WWOOFing, volunteers exchange their time and work for food and accommodation. I slept in a cabin in the woods with hedgehogs (刺猬)digging about in the bushes, all different coloured birds singing in the morning and endless row of palm trees offering shade from the sun.For me, one of the best ways to get to know a new place is to work with the land, live with the locals and share meals together. This is why I absolutely love WWOOFing. It has got to be one of the best ways to travel. It is a mutually beneficial exchange where everyone involved prioritises people and environment above profit. You get the time and space to deepen a connection with local communities and nature.There is a lot to learn and each farm has its own unique way of doing things, depending on the environment, climate and soil. At the farm in La Reunion we planted palm trees to harvest the core of the trunk which can be eaten in salads. Before staying with the farm I had only eaten heart of palm from cans which were nothing in comparison to the real thing, fresh from the ground. When plotting up the very beginnings of the palm trees, I felt grateful to be a part of the start of the tree’s cycle. I was filled with awe that something so small could grow into something so big and strong.We also did lots of weeding, which helped me to get to know all kinds of different plants, to be able to identify which ones we could use as herbs medicine in salads and which were seen as uneatable. I also got to harvest pineapples and guava fruit (番石榴)to make jams which will be sold at the local market.Of course, not everyone is able to travel far away into the field. The great thing about the skill-share philosophy behind WWOOFing is that it’s something we can all do from our own backyard. The focus shifts from money to how we can best support each other in our communities.A fair exchange can make a big difference in the world.31. WWOOFing enables volunteers to _____.A. get food and shelter for their workB. travel around La Reunion for freeC. tell the differences between various birdsD. have close contact with wild animals32. The author found his farm life in La Reunion quite ______.A. awfulB. rewardingC. comfortableD. difficult33. The author did all of the following on the organic farm EXCEPT ______.A. removingweedsB. planting palm treesC. harvesting fruitsD. collecting vegetables34. The philosophy of WWOOFing is to ______.A. improve local environmentB. make local lives betterC. unite different communitiesD. advocate a fair exchange35. This passage is mainly about _____.A. The development of WWOOFingB. a local WWOOFing communityC. a charming WWOOFing experienceD. the system of WWOOFingPassage FourExperts say distracted walking is a growing problem, as people of all ages become more dependent on electronic devices for personal and professional matters. They also note pedestrian deaths have been rising in recent years. In 2005, 11% of all US deaths involved pedestrians, but that number rose to 15% in 2014.The rise in deaths coincides with states introducing bills that target pedestrians. Some states, such as Hawaii, Arkansas, Illinois, Nevada and New York, continue to introduce legislation every year.The measure recently introduced by New Jersey assembly woman Pamela Lampitt would ban walking while texting and prohibit pedestrians on public roads from using electronic communication devices unless they are hands-free. Violators would face fines up to $50, 15-day imprisonment or both which is the same penalty as jaywalking (乱穿马路). Half of the fine would be allocated to safety education about the dangers of walking while texting, said Lampitt.Some see the proposal as an unnecessary government overreach, while others say they understand Lampitt’s reasoning. But most agree that people need to be made aware of the issue. “Distracted pedestrians, like distracted drivers, present a potential danger to themselves and drivers on the road.”Lampitt said. “An individual crossing the road distracted by their smartphone presents just as much danger to motorists as someone jaywalking and should be held, at minimum, to the same penalty.”The main question raised about the measure, though, is whether it can be enforced consistently by police officers who usually have more pressing matters to deal with. Some feel that rather than imposing a new law, the state should focus on distracted-walking education. Lampitt said the measure was needed to stop and penalize “risky behavior”. She cited a National Safety Council report that showed distracted-walking incidents involving cellphones accounted for an estimated 11,101 injuries from 2000 to 2011.The study found a majority of those injured were female and most were 40 or younger. Talking on the phone was the most prevalent activity at the time of injury, while texting accounted fro 12%. Nearly 80% of the injuries occurred as the result of a fall, while 9% occurred from the pedestrian striking a motionless object.36. This passage is mainly concerned with _____.A. the difficulty in enforcing road regulationsB. rising deaths caused by distracted walkingC. the danger of jaywalking on busy streetsD. distracted walking involving smartphones37. The states introducing bills that target smartphones _____.A. have benefitted from the billsB. find it hard to carry them outC. have been promoting the legislationD. will have fewer deaths of pedestrians38. According to the measure proposed by Lampitt, walking while texting would_____.A. become illegalB. involve safety educationC. be blamed publiclyD. incur a fine of over $5039. Lampitt reasons that distracted pedestrians are as dangerous as _____.A. motoristsB.speeding driversC. jaywalkersD.drunk drivers40. Which of the following would the author of the passage most probably agree with?A. Males are more vulnerable to distracted-walking injuriesB. Police officers are unhappy with the proposed law.C. Safety education is more important than penaltyD. Rising distracted-walking incidents call for real attentionSection BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions orunfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D.Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.The saying “Clothes Make the Man” dates back some 400 years and it refers to the fact that when people see a well-dressed person, they assume that person is a professional, capable, and (especially in the old days) rich. Therefore, you had to dress like how you wanted to be perceived, what you wanted to eventually achieve. Fast forward 400 years, lots of folks still think the same way. But does it really make a difference?I happen to be one of those who do not put faith in the old saying. I suppose I might be in the minority but I am a member of an elite club with the likes of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in my camp.Perception is not reality; perception is halfway to discovering reality. Perception is drawn from our own impressions, our own belief systems. Is it powerful and influential? Absolutely! Is it all that it seems? Less often than you think. How many times have you cast an initial judgment only to surprise yourself later and learn how you missed out on a great opportunity, person or idea?Comment 1:In the present era, many associate the well-dressed with being the most successful. It took folks in the business world a long time to overlook the way Steve Jobs wore jeans on the public stage. I did not know Mr. Jobs, though I wish I had. I have heard it said that he invented the concept of “business casual.” In my mind that is as much a matter of self-confidence as it is a matter of taste in clothing.Comment 2:You are wrong about Steve Jobs. He certainly did care how he was perceived and his appearance was very much calculated to achieve his desired effect. From his early formal business clothing down to the aggressive casualness of his eventual black turtle neck and jeans uniform, his clothes and the impact they made were clearly foremost in his mind.Comment 3:It reminds me of the story about the philosopher who goes to a formal dinner party in jeans. When asked if he felt out of place because of his clothes, he looked around and said he hadn’t noticed.41. Which of the following might the writer of the passage agree with?A. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dress formally.B. We should not judge a person by his clothing.C. It is clothes that make the man.D. The well-dressed are more likely to succeed.42. According to the writer of the passage, perception _____.A. might prove wrongB.is powerful and reliableC. is half realityD.might be worthless to us43. The writer of comment 1 seems to _____.A.dislike the way Steve Jobs dressed for business occasionsB.suggest that business people have no taste in clothingC.believe that the well-dressed are the most successfulD.think that Steve Jobs casualness reflected his self-confidence44. Speaking of Steve Jobs, the writer of Comment 2 _____.A. points out that Steve Jobs was a very aggressive personB. suggests that he and Steve Jobs used to be in the same clubC. holds the same view as the writer of the passageD. thinks Steve Jobs’ casualness was carefully thought out45. When he went to the dinner party in jeans (Comment 3), the philosopher _____.A. thought that people liked his clothesB. was not aware of how his clothes lookedC. felt quite embarrassedD. considered himself out of placePart IV Cloze (10 points)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with ten blanks.

While social media platforms offer many benefits such as connecting people from all over the world and facilitating the spread of information, they also have negative implications on society.One of the major impacts of social media is the spread of misinformation and fake news. With the rise of social media, it has become easier for individuals and organizations to create and disseminate false information, leading to confusion and distrust among the public. Moreover, social media has been linked to the rise of cyberbullying and online harassment, as people can hide behind screens and engage in harmful behavior without consequences.On the positive side, social media has revolutionized the way we communicate and engage with others. It has allowed people to connect with friends and family members across the globe and share their thoughts and experiences in real-time. Social media has also become a powerful tool for raising awareness about social issues and mobilizing support for various causes.In conclusion, social media has both positive and negative impacts on society. It is essential for individuals to use social media responsibly and critically evaluate the information they consume to mitigate the negative effects. Ultimately, social media has the potential to bring people together and foster greater understanding and empathy in the global community.。
