American Mikah Meyer has an unusual goal. He wants to visit all of the more than 400 properties operated by the National Park Service.
He spent January 2017 visiting historic areas in the southeastern United States.
One of his first stops was Fort Sumter, ____1____ former military position in waters just off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. Fort Sumter is famous for being the place where the first shot of the Civil War
____2____(fire). It is also ____3____ the first person killed in the conflict died.
After years of rising tensions between Northern and Southern states, the two sides clashed in Charleston Harbor on April 12, 1861. That was when the Southern army launched an artillery attack on Fort Sumter. Federal troops surrendered the fort a short time later. Union forces eventually fought ____4____(regain) control of the base, and defeated the South in 1865. A lone cannon symbolizes the fierce battle that took place on April 12, 1861, when Confederate artillery opened fire on this federal fort in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, marking it ____5____ the day when the Civil War began.
As he stood inside the large walls of Fort Sumter National Monument, Mikah Meyer looked across the water to the port at Charleston. He imagined what the area must have looked like more than a century and half ago. “You’ll see across that bridge, Charleston, South Carolina. It was under siege at one point for 17 months. There were cannons that ____6____fire from where I'm standing on the fort all the way to the old town...” Meyer al so visited the Charles Pinckney National Historic Site in South Carolina. There he had a chance to learn about Charles Pinckney, who helped write — and was a signer of — the U.S. Constitution. Charles Pinckney was 29 years old when he helped draft the United States Constitution, ____7____ he signed as a representative of South Carolina. He dedicated his considerable political and legal talents to ____8____(establish) a strong national government. “Some people call him our forgotten founding father, but he was a political figure of early America who helped shape ____9____ our eventual constitution ended up looking like...” The National Park Service helps care for what remains of Pinckney’s
former home and farm. Park service workers tell the stories of 18th-century plantation life for free and enslaved people.
During his travels in January, Meyer had a surprise. Barack Obama, in his last few days as president, named a new national park site in Beaufort, just south of Charleston. It is called the Reconstruction Era National Monument. The Reconstruction Era National Monument will help tell the story of post-Civil war America.
The Reconstruction Era ______10______(stretch) from 1861 to 1898. It was a period when Americans struggled with the treatment of newly freed African Americans. The new national monument will help tell that story. Section B
Directions: 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.
Dear Colleagues,
It is good to join you. Let me begin by expressing my sincere appreciation to His Majesty King Salman and Saudi Arabia for having done tremendous work of communication and coordination to make this summit possible.
Facing the COVID-19 outbreak that caught us all by ____11____, the Chinese government and Chinese people have been undaunted as we took on this formidable task. From day one of our fight against the outbreak, we have put people's life and health first. We have acted according to the overall ____12____ of shoring up confidence, strengthening unity, ensuring science-based control and treatment and imposing targeted measures. We have
____13____ the whole nation, set up collective control and treatment mechanisms and acted with openness and transparency. What we fought was a people's war against the outbreak. We have put up a strenuous struggle and made tremendous sacrifices. Now the situation in China is moving steadily in a positive direction. Life and work are quickly returning to normal. Yet, there is no way we will lower our guard or relax control.
At the most difficult moment in our fight against the outbreak, China received assistance and help from a lot of members of the global ___14___. Such expressions of friendship will always be remembered and cherished by the Chinese people.
Major infectious disease is the enemy of all. As we speak, the COVID-19 outbreak is spreading worldwide,
____15____ enormous threat to life and health and bringing formidable challenge to global public health security. The situation is disturbing and ____16____. At such a moment, it is imperative for the international community to strengthen confidence, act with unity and work together in a collective response. We must ____17____ step up
international cooperation and foster greater synergy so that humanity as one could win the battle against such a major infectious disease.
For that to happen, I would like to put forth four proposals.
First, we need to be ____18____ in fighting an all-out global war against the COVID-19 outbreak. The community of nations must move swiftly to stem the spread of the virus. In this regard, I propose that a G20 health ministers' meeting be convened as quick as possible to improve information sharing, strengthen cooperation on drugs, vaccines and epidemic control, and cut off cross-border infections. G20 members need to jointly help developing countries with weak public health systems enhance preparedness and response. I propose a G20 COVID-19 assistance ____19____ for better information sharing and policy and action coordination with the support of the World Health Organization. Guided by the vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind, China will be more than ready to share our good practices, conduct joint research and development of drugs and vaccines, and provide assistance where we can to countries _____20_____ by the growing outbreak.

Section B
Directions: 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 just read.
A
Family violence and abuse prevention strategies are focused at three levels: the general population, specific groups thought to be at high risk for abuse, and families who have already experienced abuse. Public education and media campaigns aimed at the general population convey the criminal nature of domestic assault, suggest ways to prevent abuse, and identify where abuse victims can get help. However, to prevent or reduce family violence, education, elements of American culture that contribute to such violence must change. For example, violence in the media must be controlled or eliminated, and traditional gender roles and views of women and children as property must be replaced with egalitarian gender roles and respect for women and children.
Another cultural change is to reduce violence-related stress by reducing poverty and unemployment and by providing adequate housing, nutrition, media care, and educational opportunities for everyone. Though programs such as Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) were not designed to prevent domestic violence and abuse, “they provide important assistance to low income families and thus supp ort the functioning of these families.” Integrat ing families into networks of community would also enhance family’s well-being and provide support for families under stress.
What social interventions are available for families that are already experiencing abuse or neglected? Abused women and children may seek relief at a shelter or a safe house for abused women and children with housing, food, counseling services, legal assistance, employment assistance, and an environment that empowers women by encouraging them to make independent choices about their abusive relationships and about their future. Shelters also provide a communal living situation with other abused women, which reduces the sense of isolation and helps the
women express their anger and overcome feelings of guilt and inadequacy. An alternative to shelter is a safe house, a private home of individuals who volunteer to provide temporary housing to abused women who decide to leave their violent homes. Battered men are not allowed to stay at women’s shelters, but many shelters help abused men by providing money for a motel room, counseling, and support services.
36. The word “egalitarian” in the first paragraph most probably means “_______”.
A. relating to economics
B. relating to everyday events
C. having to do with legal contracts
D. having to do with equal treatment
37. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to directly reduce violence in families?
A. Cutting down on violence in the media
B. the AFDC program
C. Reducing unemployment
D. Strengthening family ties
38. According to the passage, which of the following statements does the writer seem to support?
A. Providing women more wealth can largely reduce family abuse.
B. Laws must be passed to prevent family abuse.
C. Unfair attitude towards women is the only cause of family abuse.
D. Women should be equally paid.
39. The last paragraph is organized by ____.
A. listing the order of events in helping abused women
B. defining the term “safe house”
C. discussing the effects of family violence
D. listing social interventions available to help the abused
B

Great work is work that makes a difference in people’s lives, writes David Sturt, Executive Vice Presiden t of the O.C. Tanner Institute, in his book Great Work: How to Make a Difference People Love. Sturt insists, however, that great work is not just for surgeons or special-needs educators or the founders of organizations trying to eliminate poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. The central theme of Great Work, according to Sturt, is that anyone can make a difference in any job. It’s not the nature of the job, but what you do with the job that counts. As proof, Sturt tells the story of a remarkable hospital cleaner named Moses.
In a building filled with doctors and nurses doing great life-saving work, Moses the cleaner makes a difference. Whenever he enters a room, especially a room with a sick child, he engages both patients and parents with his optimism and calm, in troducing himself to the child and, Sturt writes, speaking “little comments about light and sunshine an d making things clean.” He comments on any progress he sees day by day (“you’re sitting up today, that’s good.”) Moses is no doctor and doesn’t pretend t o be, but he has witnessed hundreds of sick children recovering from painful surgery, and parents take comfort from his encouraging words. For Matt and Mindi, whose son McKay was born with only half of a heart, Moses became a close friend. As Sturt explain s, “Moses took his innate (与生俱来的) talents (his sensitivity) and his practical wisdom (from years of hospital experience) and combined them into a powerful form of patient and family support that changed the critical-care experience for Mindi, Matt and little McKay.”
How do people like Moses do great work when so many people just work? That was the central question raised by Sturt and his team at the O.C. Tanner Institute, a consulting company specialized in employee recognition and rewards system.
O.C. Tanner launched an exhaustive Great Work study that included surveys to 200 senior executives, a further
set of surveys to 1,000 managers and employees working on projects, an in-depth qualitative study of 1.7 million accounts of award-winning work (in the form of nominations (提名) for awards from corporations around the world), and one-on-one interviews with 200 difference makers. The results of the study revealed that those who do great work refuse to be defeated by the constraints of their jobs and are especi ally able to reframe their jobs: they don’t view their jobs as a list of tasks and responsibilities but see their jobs as opportunities to make a difference. No matter, as Moses so ably exemplifies (例证), what that job may be.
43. According to Sturt,which of the following is TRUE? A. It’s not the nature of the job, but what you do that makes a difference.B. Anyone in the world is responsible to delete poverty and change the world.
C. Anyone can make a difference in people’s lives no matter what kind of job he does.
D. Surgeons, special-needs educators and founders of organizations can succeed more easily.
44. According to this passage, how does Moses, a common hospital cleaner, make a difference in people’s lives?
A. By keeping optimistic and calm when facing patients and their parents at hospital.
B. By showing his special gift and working experience when working at hospital.
C. By showing his sympathy and kindness to patients when entering their rooms.
D. By pretending to be a doctor or nurse when entering a room with a sick child.
45. The word “constraints” in the last paragraph probably refers to ______.
A. demands
B. advantages
C. disadvantages
D. limitations
46. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Great work is work that makes a difference in people’s lives no matter what you do.
B. If a boss has trouble recognizing his employees, he can ask O.
C. Tanner for advice.
C. Moses makes a difference through his sensitivity and his practical wisdom.
D. Those who do great work are never defeated by others or their jobs themselves.
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each Sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Mario on an iPhone? It works
This was not supposed to happen. For years, fans had tried to persuade Nintendo, a Japanese company, to put Mario on smartphones. _________________47_________________. Until Dec. 15, when Nintendo released Super Mario Run, for Apple iPhones and iPads. The bigger surprise? Super Mario Run is excellent.
_____________________48_____________________. He is still the plumber who dashes from left to right across fields of grassy blocks, rivers of coins and so on. The difference is that Mario moves automatically as soon as a level loads, animated by an algorithm. Instead of controlling Mario directly, players tap to interrupt his motion and make more imaginative choices. A quick rap (连续敲击) makes Mario hop, while a longer one boosts him twice as high. If you need to clear a crack, tap mid air and he’ll pirouette (竖趾旋转) , flying a bit further. It’s intuitive.
____________________49____________________. Tap near a wall or when landing on blocks painted with reverse arrows, for instance, and Mario springs backward, letting you break the game’s one-wayness. It’s smart, less-is-more design that plays to the strengths of touchscreen gaming without sacrificing precision. For all its hesitance in embracing smartphones and tablets, Nintendo seems to have had no trouble designing software for them.
There is one fairly serious problem with Super Mario Run: the game works only with an active Internet connection. Sever(断绝) that and the game throws up an error screen.
__________________50__________________. This means you can’t play Super Mario Run on a plane without paying for wi-fi. You’re out of luck for the part of your subway commute that involves cell-service dropouts.
Other than that, Super Mario Run impresses in ways sure to convince that designing games on smartphones is still a rapidly evolving—and improving—art form.
A. The simplicity masks deeper layers.
B. This is the Mario those who grew up with Nintendo know best.
C. Yes, you really can play one-handed.
D. There’s no way around it.
E. And for years,the company simply refused.
F. However, not everyone likes its design. 第II 卷I.Summary (10’)51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and
how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
Envy
It’s a familiar but uncomfortable feeling. Your best fr iend will marry a handsome doctor, and the congratulatory hug you offer lack s genuine warmth. Your friend is made the team for Saturday’s big game, and you take a certain pleasure in telling him you can’t be there to watch him play. You smile but a voice i n your head asks, why them and not you?
Envy is a shortcoming of character we like to keep in our heart secretly. How shameful is it not to be looking forward with delight to your day as your best friend’s bridesmaid! Who would hope your friend might suffe r some injury, so you can take his place on the team?
Envy is everywhere. It seems to be in our nature to hate others’ gifts and good fortune, especially if we see them as advantages they shouldn’t have.
Envy raises its ugly head when we focus on what we w ant but we don’t possess now. Worse still, we may even wish for and take ple asure in someone’s losing what we have always desired. When you compare yourself and your life unfavorably with your friend or your colleague, you can only keep your darker emotions.
So, is there a solution? Is there anything you can do to get rid of this most ungenerous emotion? Well, why not make envy the motivation you need for self-improvement? The best weapon against envy is not to compete where you can’t shine, but to do your absolute best where you can.
Start by making peace with yourself, and accept the gifts which make you unique. Make an agreement with yourself to be the best you can be. Then find the qualities in others that cause your envy. Is it someone’s singing voice, their work promotion, their new car? Envy shows us the things we’d like to have. So, make a plan to earn what’s important to you.
And aim for genuine pleasure in the achievements and good fortune of others. Cheer on your friend when he scores that goal. En joy your best friend’s wedding day. Then go out and do something special, an d make yourself wonderfully proud of you.

Challenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking, planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp (21) you age, a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests. Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1, 000 retired workers who were over age 75 and had the volunteers’ memory and thinking skills (22) (assess)through a battery of tests. Then, for eight years, the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months (23) (take) the same sorts of tests. Those who (24) (hold)mentally stimulating, demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the best on the tests. And they tended to lose cognitive（认知）function (25) a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs. The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participants’ overall health status. “This works just like physical exercise,” says Francisca Then, who led the study. “After a long run, you may feel like you’re in pain, you may feel tired. But it makes you fit. After a long day at work — sure, you will feel tired, (27) it can help your brain stay healthy. ” It’s not just corporate jobs, or even paid work (26) can help keep your brain fit, Then points out. A waiter’ s job, for example, (28) ( require) multitasking, teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work. And “running a family household requires high-level planning and coordinating（协调）,” she says. “You (29) _______ ________organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries.” Of course, our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons — including other environmental influences or genetic factors. Still, continuing to challenge (30) mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help. 【答案】 21. as 22. assessed23. to take 24.had held25. at26. that 27. but28.requiring 29. have to30. yourself 【难度】中等
