Before I advertisedfor the position，I was approached by another manager Mr Jacobs，within the same division，and asked if I would consider a transfer(调任)from his staff. It appeared from his description of this employee that she was having a lotof problems performing her duties，and had difficulties on a personal basis with her supervisor(主管)，and did not appear to respond to any attempts he，the manager，had made to settle the issues. After listening to his explanation，I really had severe doubts. What crossed my mind was that he wanted me to take a performance problem off his hands. I told him I would think about it and would let him know the next day. After thinking more about this potential performance issue，I decided that I would speak with the employee privately before I made any decision. And what I found out during the interview made me think about it seriously.It turned out after speaking with her for over an hour that the performance issue appeared to result from working for a supervisor who never returned a good morning greeting，never gave a word of encouragement，and enjoyed finding fault. The end result was a totally upset employee who hated to see a new workday start，and who had considered quitting every day before she went towork. The look on her face，the trembling hands，and the annoyed manner in whichshe spoke led me to believe she was being truthful. I decided to accept her transfer to my unit. What started out as a shy and frightened employee turned out to be one of the most productive and loyal employees I ever had the privilege of working with. I was more than happy to give her what she needed－praise for work well done，respect as a person，and encouragement to do well inanything she dealt with.31．According to Mr. Jacobs，the employee ________．A．showed no respect for himB．was careless with her workC．didn't get along well with her colleaguesD．has a tense relationship with her supervisor 32．Mr. Jacobs asked the author to consider a transfer from his staffprobably because ________．A．he hoped to help the author outB．he wanted to give the employee a better chanceC．he wanted to free himself from a troubled situation D．the employee was the most suitable person for the position 33．We can infer from the fourth paragraph that the supervisor ________．A．hated his own workB．was a respectable leaderC．behaved in a cold mannerD．was not good at expressing himself34．What would be the BEST title for the text?A．How to get on with your supervisorB．Are you questioning your ability?C．How to become a good managerD．Are you holding someone back?BIsaac Stern was more than a great violin player. He was one of the most honored musicians in the world，an international cultural ambassador. And he was also a teacher and activist. For more than sixty years，Mr.Stern performed excellent music. He performed in concerts around the world and on recordings. Isaac Stern was born in 1920 in Ukraine. His parents moved to Californiathe following year. He began taking violin lessons after hearing a friend play the instrument. Later，he began studying music at the San Francisco Conservatory(旧金山音乐学院)．He progressed quickly. When he was sixteen，he played with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. The next year，he performedin New York and was praised by music critics. Isaac Stern became one of the busiest musicians of his day. He played more than one hundred concerts a year. He also became one of the most recorded musicians in history. Isaac Stern also supported artistic development andfreedom. In 1979，Isaac Stern visited China. He met with Chinese musicians and students. He taught them about classical Western music. His visit was made into a film. It is called From Mao to Mozart：Isaac Stern in China. It won anAcademy Award for best documentary film. In 1984，Isaac Stern received the Kennedy Center Honors Award for his giftsto American culture through music. He expressed his thoughts about the part that music plays in life. He said music is an important part of a civilizedlife. He said people need music as much as they need bread. Isaac Stern died in 2001 at the age of eighty－one. He was a major influence on music in the twentieth century. He leaves the world richer withhis many recordings.35．What did Isaac Stern think of music?B．Difficult.A．Necessary.D．Interesting.C．Entertaining.36．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Isaac Stern?A．He was born in California in the 1920s.B．He had visited many countries to advertise his recordings.C．He played less than one hundred concerts in all.D．His excellent music life lasted over 60 years.37．From the passage，we can infer that________．A．Isaac Stern influenced the culture in the 20th century a lotB．Isaac Stern was one of the most active musicians of his day C．Isaac Stern was so busy that he couldn't spare time to educate the youthD．Isaac Stern led a rich life in his later life38．What will be the BEST title for the passage?A．Isaac Stern and the awards he gotB．Isaac Stern's life of pursuing musicC．Isaac Stern: one of the most honored musiciansD．Isaac Stern's visit to ChinaCMost children usually talk in class when they are bored or frustrated because a concept is too difficult. Schools have to recognize the need forchildren to talk. The educators in my school district recognize the need for children to talk. Our curricu la embrace(contain)“active” participation. This means that during a lesson the students are expected to talk and interact in order to have the learning become a part of them. The children are expected to talk about what they are reading in their anthologies(选集)，to answer questions together. There are certain times when children need tomeditateand digest what they've learned without talking. At these times，the children begin to thinkabout social activities. Children don't have much opportunity to write，and many educators believethat children don't have the ability to express themselves when writing. The students in my class are allowed to converse but only in writing. If they are having a problem with a classmate，they write the problem out and give it tome. We then set up a conference and talk about the problem. We figure out ways that the problem can be solved. The writing is twofold(双重的)．It helps the child calm down and not be reactive and teaches children the way to use wordsto express themselves. Talking is important，but just as important is knowing the appropriate times to talk. We do encourage our children to talk when they are small andthey are used to expressing themselves. My theory，as I tell my students，is that he or she who talks the most，will probably grow up to be a teacher. They，then，will be able to talk all thetime and NOT get in trouble. 39．The educators in the author's school district recognize the need forchildren to talk by ________．A．talking more with students in classesB．their curriculaC．getting students to answer all the questions togetherD．students reading alone40．What's the author's opinion about writing in classes?A．Writing is a kind of conversation.B．Writing wastes too much class time.C．Writing can also keep students active.D．Writing is very harmful to students' talking in class.41．From the passage we can infer ________．A．most children want to talk in classB．students who talk the most will become teachers C．some educators think writing can't express themselves clearly D．encouraging students to express themselves by talking at every time isbeneficial42．What's the best title of the passage?A．Talking is ImportantB．Talking and WritingC．Understanding Why Children Talk in ClassD．Children Talking in Class－Right or Wrong?DTony Burke，Australia's environment minister，says he won't decide untilnext year whether the koala should be protected as an endangered species. He was expected to make his decision by the end of October. But that decision has been put off. Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest informationabout the koala's population. In September，an Australian Senate committee reported that there was no question the koala's population is on the decrease.“But they may not yet be eligible(符合条件的)for listing as a threatened species，”said Senator Doug Cameron.“To have such a significant Australian icon(偶像)included on thethreatened species list would be a national shame.”The koala is found only in the eucalyptus(桉树)forests of Australia. Andits population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons，including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings' development，their own illness，climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs. And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busyroads. Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news，”said Debbie Pointing，the president of the Koala Action Group.“We've worked tirelessly for many years to gather data on the populations，”Po intingsaid.“That data should be enough to make a decision.”However，Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996.Senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queensland－the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads，to keep the animals out of harm'sway. Some people say that is not enough.“What we're doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction，”Queensland University zoologistBill Ellis said.“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal，”Burke told Australians.“Theyhold a special place in the hearts of Australians.”But it is a fact that if more isn't done to protect the koala，they mightsoon hold a place only in Australians' memories. 43．Tony Burke put off announcing the koala as an endangered speciesbecause ________．A．he needed more time to examine the latest informationB．he doubted whether koalas' number is decreasingC．he was thinking about ways to protect koalasD．he had more important issues to deal with44．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The habitat of the koala.B．Australia's traffic problems.C．The importance of koalas for Australians.D．Reasons for the decrease of the koala population.45．According to the text，Debbie Pointing thinks that ________．A．the construction of special koala bridges is of little useB．koalas are becoming less important in Australians'hearts C．the government is to blame for the decreasing koala population D．the government should announce the koala as an endangered species46．What is the main idea of the text?A．Australia puts off the decision on whether the koala is endangered.B．Australia is taking special measures to protect koalas.C．The population of koalas is reducing rapidly.D．Australians are concerned about koalas.EThe UK has a well respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are newto it all，sometimes it can be confusing. October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers' Week for their newcomers. It's a great opportunity to make new friends，join lots of clubs and settle into universitylife. However，having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind，the prospect of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve wracking(令人焦虑不安的)．Where do you start？Who should you make friends with？Whichclubs should you join? Luckily，there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you are worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don't rush into anything that you'll regret for the nextthree years.Here are some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers'Week ： Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette(礼节)．Have afew wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends. Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you ahead start in making friends. Be sociable. The more active you are ，the more likely you'll be to meetnew people than if you're someone who never leaves his room. Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you're in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you're friendly. So with a bit of clever planning and effort ，Freshers' Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you'll be passing on your experience to next year's．recruits new 47．Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage?A ．October is generally the busiest month for universities.B ．It's a good idea to put a doorstop in your door.C ．A bit of planning can make Freshers' Week easier.D ．The first week of your every year at university is called Freshers'Week.48．The underlined word “recruits” in the last paragraph refersto________．A ．coursesB ．FreshersC ．neighborsD ．challenges 49．We can infer from the 4th paragraph that________．A ．the newcomers usually miss the days living at homeB ．most of the students in the UK spend three years in universitiesC ．many freshers are worried about how to fit university lifeD ．all the new students will make new friends and join certain clubs50．The main purpose of the passage is to________．A ．tell the newcomers how to make a new start in universitiesB ．introduce something about higher education system of the UKC ．discuss something about the Freshers' Week in the UKD ．advise the freshmen how to behave well in the beginningⅣ.完成句子(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分) 51．We didn't ____________ the car until a few days after theauction.(possession)拍卖几天后我们才领到汽车。

Unit 1 ArtⅠ.阅读理解（共两小节，第一节15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）AThe majority of the world’s most powerful and influential positions remain in men's hands. But the imbalance is gradually tilting -- and it shows. In 2015, some of the biggest news and successes resulted from the actions of women. Here are the new faces who inspired, guided or moved the world.Loretta LynchTraditionally, the top U.S. law-enforcement official is not well-known outside of the United States, but Attorney General Loretta Lynch not only made headlines around the world, she also brought a particular kind of change that billions of people had hoped for but thought was out of reach.Lynch surprised the world by taking on the entrenched(根深蒂固的), corrupt officials of FIFA, the governing body of the world's most popular sport, soccer. She had the bravery to do what nobody else had dared. FIFA officials, she declared, had engaged in "rampant(猛烈的), systematic and deep-rooted" corruption, and it was time to "bring wrongdoers to justice."Ellen Johnson SirleafWhen Ebola took on alarming proportions in West Africa, it was tough for Liberia, one of the centers of the crisis.Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the leader of Liberia, pleaded for international help. One reason the world responded is because the unbeatable President has international moral status. She played a key role in guiding her country after cruel civil wars and received the Nobel Peace Prize for her effort.Johnson Sirleaf not only helped bring an end to the epidemic, she did something just as remarkable: She revealed her emotions and admitted her faults. When it was all over she said she had been afraid, and admitted she had made big mistakes as a result of her fear. Then she showed gratitude. Instead of collecting honors, she thanked all the people and countries who made victory against Ebola possible.Aung San Suu KyiThe Burmese leader, also a Nobel Peace Prize winner, put the skeptics and the cynics(愤世嫉俗) to shame. To those who said nonviolent resistance could not defeat a vicious armed opponent, she seemed to say "just watch."Following the footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King , she endured a long struggle against the pitiless military rulers of Myanmar. She gained international support for economic sanctions(制裁) that helped persuade the generals to loosen their control, leading to elections in 2015 and an overwhelming victory for her National League for Democracy. She remains a global icon of peaceful resistance.Tu YouyouIt's a tough challenge to find a single human being who may be responsible for saving as many lives. The Chinese pharmacologist Tu Youyou, one of three winners of this year's Nobel Prize for Medicine, took a different route in attacking one of the world's biggest killers, malaria.Research into ancient Chinese texts led her to discover the compounds that help prevent a disease that still kills about half a million people every year, transmitted by mosquitoes in water-logged jungles. The discovery has resulted in medication that has saved millions of lives.1. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. tell us that men’s status in the world was becoming less important in 2015B. show readers the importance of several great women who were powerful in 2015C. analyze the reasons why some great women became the 2015 biggest newsD. introduce several great women and their achievements in 20152. Among the women mentioned above, who did not win the Nobel Prize?A. Aung San Suu Kyi.B. Ellen Johnson SirleafC. Loretta Lynch.D. Tu Youyou3. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was regarded as remarkable for the following EXCEPT_____.A. that she played a key role to end Ebola, but she didn’t owe everything to herself alone..B. that she guided her country to win the civil wars and received the Nobel Prize..C. that she bravely acknowledged her fear and her mistakes.D. that she expressed her gratitude to those who fought Ebola together4. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. some great women’s successes are shaking the men’s control of th e world.B. thanks to Tu Youyou’s discovery, the patients attacked by malaria will undoubtedly be saved.C. Aung San Suu Kyi won the victory with the guidance of Gandhi and Martin Luther King.D. many people have dealt with the corruption of FIFA, but failed.BA decade ago, secondary and higher education was prized above all else. Apprenticeships (学徒工作) were viewed as an option for dropouts rather than a daring career choice. And the young men and women who didn’t fit into the school system, preferring to create start-ups and focus on making a living in the business world, were dismissed as wheeler-dealers. (投机者)Now there’re no birds of this year in last year’s nests. Young people are being encouraged to think carefully about whether academia is right for them--- this trend has been fuelled by rising university fees and a global shortage of many skills that were passed over in schools in recent years, ranging from web development to sales. Young people are required to stay in some kind of education or training until they are 18, but this learning may now take many forms. The Government runs its own platform to help interested youths find an apprenticeship that suits their skills and ambitions.Tom Hartley, who runs a high-end performance and classic car business based in Derbyshire, founded his first company at just 12 years old. “I had no school education,” he says. “Business was how I learned everything. I call it the Hartley University of Life.”His business, 43 years on, turns over £ 200m, and sells cars to high-net-worth individuals across the globe, from Hollywood celebrities to foreign royalty. Manyyears ago, Hartley was asked to explain why he had chosen to be self-educated and why he had supported his son Carl’s decision to leave sc hool and join the family business instead.“I got a lot of criticism at the time,” he says. “I tried to explain that you can’t teach gut feelings(直觉) on a blackboard and that school is fine if you want to be a doctor or fly a rocket to the moon but othe rwise it’s all about experience in business.”5. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate?A. The situation above has changed.B. Education is no more important nowadays.C. Things change for the worse for dropouts.D. University fees are becoming higher and higher.6. Which statement may the author agree with?A. Education is the only way to success.B. Education systems change from time to time.C. School dropouts could be future business stars.D. School dropouts were common among youngsters.7. What does the author say about Tom Hartley?A. He attaches more value to experience than to education.B. He was supported in founding his first company.C. He is well-educated and far-sighted.D. He is brave and open-minded.8. How does the author prove his view?A. By giving an example.B. By making a comparison.C. By analyzing cause.D. By listing figures.CChildren should start learning Shakespeare at the age of four before they are faced with the difficulty with the language, says a study published recently.Lessons should begin before pupils start secondary school, because many teenagers begin to dislike the plays, says the report. All pupils should also seeat least one performance of a S hakespeare’s play. The recommendations have been made in a Royal Shakespeare company(RSC) document, contemplating why school children show less and less interest in drama.The RSC has warned that children are being turned off Shakespeare because of the way they are taught in schools and a lack of opportunities to see plays performed live. Jacqui O’Hanlon, the head of education at the RSC, said, “We’ve seen teachers working extremely well in class. There’s been a lot of success with 4-year-olds. With primary school kids, there isn’t a fear factor because they’ve never heard of him. What we do with children from the age of 8 is to unfold the story piece by piece and show them the key moments of drama.”Shakespeare is compulsory in secondary school. Pupils between the ages of 11 and 14 must study at least one play.An educator who is in charge of England’s exams said a review of the primary school courses would be a chance to decide if it should be taught to younger pupils. And as part of the RSC task, more courses will be developed to help teachers lead lessons on plays.Tamsin Greig, the actress, who won an Olivier Award for her performance in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing last year, said, “Give children the chance to play with words, ideas and stories, and boredom will have no place.”9. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. Secondary schools don’t offer lessons on Shakespeare.B. Children at the age of four have more abilities to do things.C. Early contact and learning help students bette r understand Shakespeare’s plays.D. Language is a problem for all children in learning Shakespeare and acting well.10. What does the underlined part in the fourth paragraph imply?A. Proper guidance from school is necessary in learning Shakespeare.B. Shakespeare was once children’s favorite lesson.C. Shakespeare becomes out of date for children.D. School children always like new things and popular food.11. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Shakespeare is compulsory in primary school.B. Children between 11 and 14 must be taught acting.C. Children aged 8 should be taught to write stories.D. Tamsin Greig once acted in a Shakespeare’s play.12. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Teach Children Shakespeare at an Early Age.B. A Great Dramatist---ShakespeareC. A Compulsory Lesson in Secondary School.D. Teach Children to Read from the Age of Four.DSitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn't forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin's footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands.The islands are certainly a paradise for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be.The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise (巨型海龟), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Sanra Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago (群岛). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself.Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.13. What do we know about Darwin's visit to the islands?A. He studied different creatures on the islandsB. He completed his famous book on the islandsC. He was touched by the geography of the islandsD. He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands14. Which of the following plays a role in making the islands "a paradise for wildlife"?A. Animals on the islands feed on grass.B. Local government forbids killing wildlife.C. People cannot visit the islands as they wish.D. Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.15.

So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m alreadyhungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 172. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 18 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3. 19 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. 20 and don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A. Try new things.B. Ability is easily improved.C. Make three or four instead.D. Understand your food better.E. Cooking is a burden for many people.F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.Ⅱ. 完型填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）A Welcome GiftDario and his mother loved their new apartment. The living room was large enough for their piano.

☛If he has time, he wil come. 如果他有时间，他会来的。

☛He won’t succeed unless we plan well. 他不会成功的，除非我们计划好。

AFading beautyShe is widely seen as proof that good looks can last for ever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed.“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago，”the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes, but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops，”said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It's because direct vision is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows, Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France's King Francis Ⅰ in 1519.In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy.The painting was sent back to France two years later.During World War Ⅱ，French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.1．What does the writer m ean by “time is catching up with the Mona Lisa”？A．The painting woman is not so beautiful any more.B．Aging is something that affects us all.C．At such an old age, she is no longer popular.D．The painting needs repairing.【解析】句意理解题。

ANo artist has affected modern art more than Pablo Picasso.The thousands of masterpieces he had created changed the way people thought about art.Picasso was perhaps the most talented and successful artist who ever lived.Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born in 1881 in a small town on the southern coast of Spain.His father was a painter who taught art.Picasso showed exceptional talent at an early age and,by the time he was in his teens,painted better than his father or any of the local art teachers.At sixteen,Picasso was sent to the Royal Academy of Madrid,where students drew from plaster casts and copied works of the old masters.Picasso felt these assignments were pointless and began to work on his own.Picasso’s father soon became angry with his son’s rebellious behaviour,long hair,and strange clothes.He believed that Picasso was wasting his talent and scolded him,“Why don’t you cut your hair and paint sensibly?”In 1900,Picasso left for Paris—then the center of the art world.He lived in a cold,run-down building,painting constantly,sometimes surviving for days on only a piece of bread.During these years,his art reflected his dismal(凄凉的)surroundings.Homeless outcasts were the subject of many of his fairly realistic early paintings.After seeing African masks and sculptures,his works became more simplified and angular(有角的)leading up to the revolutionary new style known as Cubism(立体主义).Picasso didn’t sell many of his works during these early years.On May 8,1995,Picasso’s AngelFernanadezdeSoto was sold at auction for $29 million.The next day BluePeriod,one of his later works,sold for $5 million.But he worked continuously,always experimenting with different styles of painting.Though Picassolived to be ninety-two and became the most famous artist in the world,he spoke of his youthful days in Paris as “the happiest time of my life”.1This passage mainly discusses .A.Picasso’s Cubism as a revolutionary style in artB.Picasso as a rebel and his artC.Picasso’s life and painting in ParisD.Picasso’s influences on the development of modern art答案:B解析:主旨大意题。
