第Ⅰ卷AHave you ever been to the following places? If not, try to find a chance to visit them.Fez, MoroccoFez, about 240 miles northeast from Marrakech, a wonderful scene is taking root slowly. It started with immigrants building castles, and continues as hotels and restaurants. The biggest news is that the Hotel Sahrai is completed with a bar and 50 rooms, many overlooking a pool.Catskills, New YorkThe region that welcomed Jewish families in the 50s,hippies in the 60s,and soon, casino gamblers（赌博者）. Many stylish B&Bs have opened. Among them are the Hotel Dylan in Woodstock, the Arnold House in Livingston Manor, with its bar and diminutive spa（水疗中心）.So now is the time to enjoy fly-fishing, hiking and other peaceful experiences.Rotterdam, NetherlandsThe constantly unfolding city center in Rotterdam has become one amazing explosion of style, which surprised the tourists greatly. The latest attraction, and reason enough to visit, is the MVRDV-designed Markthal, an igloo（圆顶冰屋）-like horseshoe that houses 20 shops, nine restaurants and 228 apartments. It also happens to be Holland's largest artwork.Chengdu, ChinaFamous for its 1,600 pandas, most of which still live in the wild, Chengdu has introduced a 72-hour no-visa policy that makes it easier for Americans to drop in on one of the city's three major panda research facilities. But it's worth sticking around longer to experience what's doing in Chengdu, a city on the rise. One of the shiniestattractions is New Century Global Centre, the world's largest building, complete with an artificial beach.21.What can a tourist do in Catskills?A. Go fishing and hiking.B. Design igloos with tourists.C. play with the pandas in the wild.D. Join the local people in building castles.22.Which is Holland's largest artwork?A. The Hotel Sahrai.B.The Hotel Dylan.C. Markthal.D.New Century Global Centre.23.What did Chengdu do to attract the American travelers?A.It improved its quality of service.B.It built the world's largest building.C.It introduced a 72-hour no-visa policy.D.It completed a building with an artificial beach.BMy husband and I used to think we had all we had ever wanted. A beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment—We really had it all and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband's job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down forever.We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren't any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together,the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn't felt for years.That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, "We have four healthy children and each other. That's what's important. That makes you a rich man.""But what if we lose the house? They will hate me—you'll hate me," he replied.I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye."No matter where we live I will be happy—as long as I have you," I smiled again as I realized that I wasn't just saying that. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said "I do".I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn't for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.We are still struggling for our better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can't buy and no one can take away from us.24.We know from the story that .A. they both found good jobs at lastB. her husband was out of work for his not working hardC. both of them felt anxious about their unemploymentD. they didn't love each other any longer after they got married25.By saying "The more we pulled together, the closer we got", the wife means .A. her husband worked harder for being closerB. they had closer affection as they struggled togetherC. their house was closer to the company than beforeD. they were closer to another employment as time went by26.What is their present life like?A. Hard but warm.B. Wealthy but annoying.C. Hard and disturbing.D. Comfortable and admiring.27.Which of the following might be the best title?A. Better Life ComesB. Hard Time GoesC. We Have It AllD. We Lose It AllCThe word "OK" is the most frequently spoken all-purpose expression on theplanet—and it's turning 176 years old on March 23,2015.The term was born during a 19th-century abbreviation（缩写）craze and went on to international fame with its own hand gesture.Last year, Henry Nass, a 64-year-old retired English teacher, a New Yorker had spent the last few weeks handing out cards championing "Global OK Day" in advance of the coming anniversary."No matter where people are from they use the word 'OK,' but they don't know where it comes from," says Nass. "The problem is because it's just, you know, OK."The word is OK, perhaps, but its history is definitely better than average. Late etymologist Allen Walker Read traced the two-letter word to 1839,when editors at the Boston Morning Post signed off on articles as “all correct” with a simp le word "OK".The word made it into print on March 23 of that year, during an article against a rival editor in Providence who had stated wrongly that a band of Bostonians heading to New York would pass through the Rhode Island capital."We said not a word about our team passing 'through the city' of Providence," the Morning Post reported."O.K.—all correct."The humor of the Providence-Boston joke has been lost to history—but the word OK took off from there, soon connoting（隐含）agreement, acceptance, averageness, quality or likability.By 1840,it served as a slogan for President Martin Van Buren's unsuccessful reelection campaign."Old Kinderhook is OK," posters stated, a reference to the eighth president's birthplace and his supporters’ belief in his satisfact ory performance.28.Why did Henry Nass hand out cards?A. To let people understand the history of the word "OK".B. To call on people to use the word "OK" properly.C. To appeal to people to celebrate OK Day.D. To attract people's attention.29.What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 4?A.The history of the word "OK" is known to average people.B.The history of the word "OK" is unfamiliar to people.C.People frequently use the word "OK" in history.D.People are fond of the word "OK" in history.30.What does the underlined phrase "took off 'in Paragraph 7 probably mean?A.Got offB.Set upC.Moved offD.Become popular31.We can learn from the text that Kinderhook is of the eighth American president.A.the nameB.the birthplaceC.the policyD.the beliefDThe Rise of Sneaker Culture is organized by the Bata Shoe Museum,whose aims are to explore the social history,technical innovations,fashion trends,and marketing campaigns that have shaped sneaker culture over the past two centuries.You cannot overestimate the cultural importance of a pair of sneakers.At least that's the conclusion from a new exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum in the US.The sneaker is regarded both as a cultural force and a fashion statement."Early sneakers were actually status symbols."said Elizabeth Semmelheck,senior leader of Bata Shoe Museum.Displaying over 150 shoes,the exhibit covers a wide range of examples and will last about three months.From their modest origins in the mid-nineteenth century to high-end sneakers created in the past decade,sneakers have become a global obsession （痴迷）.Included are works from makers such Adidas,Converse,Nike,Puma,and Reebok as well as private collectors such as hip-hop legend Darryl "DMC" McDaniel's,and Dee Wells of Obsessive Sneaker Disorder.Also featured are sneakers by Prada and other major fashion design houses and designers,as well as those made in cooperation with artists including Damien Hirst and Shantell Martin.After Brooklyn,the collection will head to Toledo,Ohio;and Louisville,Kentucky.Sneakers are one of the few things people will line up for days to buy.They're thesubject of songs,and have helped make billionaires out of athletes and fashion designers.Sneakers are a cultural phenomenon,and perhaps an alien（外星人）visiting our planet could learn most about us,by looking at our feet!32.Early sneaker is regarded as .A.a cultural forceB.a fashion statementC.an identityD.a common footwear33.Which of the following is true about the exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum?A.The exhibit will display less than 150 shoes.B.The exhibit will head to other places abroad.C.The exhibits of the sneakers are all famous brands.D.The exhibit shows the history of the sneaker culture.34.Why are sneakers so important to athletes?A.Sneakers help make athletes fashionable.B.Sneakers become the subject of their songs.C.Sneakers are comfortable to wear for athletes.D.Sneakers help make athletes become rich people.35.What does the author want to do by mentioning the alien?A.To express the cultural importance of sneakers.B.To describe a picture of aliens' wearing sneakers.C.To predict the promising future of sneakers.D.To advise producers to sell sneakers to aliens.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Not everyone deals with their feelings as an open book for others to read._36_Learn to open up in order to improve your mental health._37_Accept this and move on.Give yourself some time to have sweaty palms or a shaky voice,since it will get better with practice.Ask people open-ended questions.To begin practicing opening up,you need to engage in honest,open conversation.Try a question like,"How are things going at work?"instead of "How's it going?"to get an open answer. Then,in turn answeropen-ended questions with honest answers,instead of "Fine" or "OK"._38_However,in most cases people are flattered that you are listening to them and interested in their life.Try emulating（效仿）someone who is very open.Observe them in a social situation.Then,try to act as if you are them occasionally.Many open behaviors are learned,and not a natural part of personality._39_Avoid being a "know it all".Some people think advice is opening up,but it is unlikely to help you more open. When you want to give advice,listen and try to learn something new from the situation._40_Schedule at least one long conversation per week.In the conversation you tell someone about the emotional and difficult part of your life.Get into the practice of opening up about what's good and bad in your life.A.In this case,practice can make perfect.B.Call close friends and family members more often.C.Asking people personal questions is not always proper.D.Try connecting about hobbies,interests,vacations or books.E.Listening patiently is a great way to overcome fear of sharing emotions in public.F.Understand that there is usually some fear with opening up to other people.G.However,closing yourself o圩from new people can stop your personal growth.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

An inspiring story sent to the magazine should __________.A. describe strange behaviorB. contain less than 300 wordsC. be real and originalD. be published beforeBSome time ago, I discovered a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the char that had a broken leg. I didn‘t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wro ng. The man wouldn‘t even look at my chair.The second shop, although slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth –so I thought that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, ―Would you like to buy a chair?‖ He looked it over carefully and said, ―Yes. How much do you want do it, sir?‖ ―Twenty pounds,‖ I said. ―Ok,‖ he said, ―I‘ll give you twenty pounds.‖ ―It has a slightly broken leg,‖ I said. ―Yes, I saw that; it‘s nothing.‖Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. ―What will you do with it?‖ I asked. ―Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.‖ ―I‘ll buy it,‖ I said. ―What do you mean? You‘ve just sold it to me.‖ he said. ―Yes, I know but I‘ve changed my mind. I‘m sorry. I‘ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.‖ ―You must be crazy,‖ he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. ―I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.‖ ―You‘re right.‖ I said. ―And what would you have done if I had walked i n and said, ‗Would you mend this chair for me?‘‖ ―I wouldn‘t have agreed to do it,‖ he said. ―We don‘t do repairs, not enough in it and too much trouble. But I‘ll mend this for you, shall we say for five pounds?‖ He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.4. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ___________.A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly welcomedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair5. Why did the wri ter said ―Would you like to buy a chair?‖ in the fifth shop?A. He was sure that he won‘t be able to have the chair repaired.B. He wanted to make some money by selling the chair.C. He had a plan in mind about how to get his chair mended.D. He planned to get a new chair after selling the broken one.6. The expression ―the penny dropped‖ in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper __________.A. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer‘s purposeD. decided to help the writer7. How much will the writer pay?A. £5B. £7C. £20D. £27CMost airlines go all out to ensure their passengers have the best possible flight experience. Now, Europe‘s low-budget airline, easyJet, wants to extend the positive experience beyond the plane ride with ―Sneakairs‖—smart shoes that allow visitors to explore new cities and towns without ever looking at a map.To transform Sneakairs from an ordinary shoe to a tour guide, all the wearer has to do is enter his or her desired destination into the easyJet smartphone app. A built-in GPS will deter-mine the wearer‘s starting location while the Google Maps navigation(导航) tool will help chart the best route. Whenever a change of direction is necessary, the app will communicate with the appropriate shoe via the Bluetooth and cause it to vibrate(振动). For example, if the wearer needs to turn right, he/she will feel the sensation in the right shoe. Should the user miss the turn, the smart shoes will both vibrate at the same time, reminding him/her to change course.Visitors that wander off the suggested path or decide to take a break for a cup of coffee or a meal have nothing to worry about. The smart app will automatically determine the new location and chart out a new route, once the desired destination is reached. Sneakairs will vibrate three times to inform the user of the arrival and then go back to being ordinary shoes-until their navigation services are needed again!Sneakairs is certainly not the first navigation shoe in the market. However, easyJet is the first airline to offer them to passengers just as they are about to land in an unknown city. However, before Sneakairs can go mainstream, the easyJet team still needs to make some adjustments. Among the challenges that need to be addressed is the smart shoe‘s three-hour battery life, which is hardly enough for a tourist to catch all the delights a new or town has to offer!8. The airline easyJet designed Sneakairs in order to ____________.A. help people exercise with better shoesB. attract more people to choose easyJetC. make sure their passengers have the best possible flight experienceD. provide passengers with further pleasant experience beside their flight9．What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 2 ?A. How Sneakairs worksB. How visitors choose routesC. How users avoid getting lostD. What users should pay attention to10. What might easyJet do to improve its smart shoes?A. Bring down their costB. Add more functionsC. Develop more typesD. Make the battery last longer11. Where does this text probably come from?A. A commercial adB. A science reportC. A tourist mapD. An airline guideDMost people say ―yes‖much more readily than ―no‖.A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, whatyou really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for ―reference‖. But, you‘ve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.Many people say ―yes‖ to those kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.Saying ―no‖ requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists.―Everyone wants to be liked,‖ says Gabriel Steinki, a German psychologist. ―Saying ‗no‘ risk losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.‖The result is that many people say ―yes‖ just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say ―no‖.In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.Most people believe that ―If I say ‗no‘, I‘ll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.‖ This way of thinking can be replaced by this ―If he only likes me because I always do what suits him, then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.‖Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual(相互的) solution. ―One needs to present the situation from one‘s own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.‖When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message.12. Most people say ―yes‖ much more readily than ―no‖ because ____________.A. they don‘t care about their own interests and feeling sB. they don‘t know they will regret afterwardsC. t hey have already been used to saying ―yes‖D. they care more about others‘ affection13. According to the writer, what should you do if you want to refuse the other person‘s request?A. Just say you can‘t help him.B. Say sorry to him.C. Refuse him clearly.D. Talk to the other person to find a mutual way.14. According to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?A. Say yes to him.B. Repeat your reason for his acceptance.C. Just go away.D. Say no to him.15. What is the best title of the passage?A. You Need Courage to Say ―No‖B. ―Yes‖ More than ―No‖C. Nobody Has the Right to Say ―No‖D. It‘s Easy to Say ―Yes‖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。

You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the 7th century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote (偏远的) areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available (可利用的) to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were seldom used.During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.5. From the text we know that windmills ________.A. were invented by European armiesB. used to supply power to radio in remote areasC. have a history of more than 2,800 yearsD. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered6. What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?A. Producing electricity.B. Sailing a boat.C. Grinding wheat into flour.D. Pumping water from ground.7. One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that ________.A. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needsB. it is one of the oldest power sourcesC. it was cheaper to create energy from windD. wind power is cleanerCI was born and raised in Minnesota, the USA, but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa.I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris. For the last 15 years, I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust, communicate, and make decisions especially in the workplace.While traveling in Tokyo recently with Japanese colleague, I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers. At the end, I asked whether there were any questions or comments. No hands went up, so I went to sit down. My colleague whispered to me, “I think there actually were some comments, Erin. Do you mind if I try?” I agreed, but I guessed it a waste of breath. He asked the group again, “Any comments or questions?”Still, no one raised a hand, but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience. Gesturing to one of them, he said,“Do you have something to add?” To my amazement, she responded “Yes, thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question. My colleague repeated this several times, looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.After the session, I asked my colleague, “How do you know that those people had questions?” He hesitated, not sure how to explain it, and then said, “It has to do with how bright their eyes are.”He continued, “In Japan,we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West. So when you asked if there were any comments, most people were not looking directly at you. But a few people in the group were looking right at you, and their eyes were bright. That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota. Since then, I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter, and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.8. What can we conclude from the first paragraph?A. Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out.B. The author enjoys traveling around the world.C. Different cultures are kind of familiar to the author.D.

Where does the author’s colleague probably come from?A. Japan.B. America.C. Africa.D. France.11. Which is the proper title for the passage?A. Focusing on Behavior in Cultures.B. Looking at Another Culture in the Eye.C. Sharing Different Cultures in Tokyo.D. Admiring the Beauty in the Eye.DIf your job requires a lot of sitting, you could be putting your health at danger.The American Journal of Epidemiology (流行病学) did a study in 2010 on the correlation (相互联系) between sitting and an individual's physical health. In the study, 53,440 working men and 69,776 working women were surveyed on their time spent sitting. The subjects were all disease free when employed. The researchers identified 11,307 deaths in men and 7,923 deaths in women during the 14-year follow-up.The findings: Women who reported sitting for more than six hours per day had an approximately 40 higher all-cause death rate than those who reported less than three hours a day, and men had an approximately 20 higher death rate.Well, now's a fine time to get this information. But why didn't they tell me this years ago? I would have planned on taking a more active job instead of the sedentary (坐着的) job of an editor.So what can you do if you have to work for a living at a job that requires a lot of sitting? Here are some ideas:Take frequent breaks. It is recommended that workers vary activities, change their position, and take short breaks every 20 minutes to rest muscles and increase blood circulation. Get a standing desk. Some studies have shown that working from an upright position may be better for health. The serious fitness people can even purchase a treadmill (跑步机) desk. It only goes about one mile per hour. Have a walking meeting. If your group is kind of small, going for a walk while discussing topics is a good alternative.12. According to the text, the study in 2010 ________.A. found men reporting shorter sitting time than womenB. surveyed more men than women on their daily sitting timeC. identified fewer deaths in men than in women during the 14-year follow-upD. discovered correlation between sitting and physical health in men and in women13. We can infer from the text that the author did not recommend ________.A. using a standing deskB. resting one's musclesC. quitting sedentary jobsD. taking a walk while discussing14. What does the underlined word "subjects" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Things being discussed.B. People being studied.C. Areas of knowledge being learned.D. Objects being painted.15. What is the main idea of the text?A. Your job could be killing you.B. Working out leads to health risks.C. Long-time sitting is positively associated with health.D. A study on sitting time and physical health was completed.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。
