Last night I drove a long way (about 500 km) to return home. It was late and I was driving fast because I wanted to get home as soon as possible. So several times when I was driving behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, I wanted to shout at the driver ahead.Then I came to a crossroad with a traffic light. As I drove near, it turned red. I stopped my car at once. I looked left，right and behind. I found no cars or persons — I was alone on the road. The person who would come to the crossroad was at least a mile away in any direction. Certainly going through the light would cause no danger. I could pass the traffic light. But strangely enough, I just stopped there, waiting for several minutes until the light went green. I asked myself why I refused to run the light. Surely it was unnecessary for me to be afraid of danger or being fined (罚款), because there were no cars or police around at all. But I remained waiting until the light changed.When I finally got home, it was near midnight. My wife had fallen asleep. The question of why I stopped for that l ight came back to me again, because I stopped another two times for the red lights as “special” as the first one. I stopped, not because of the law, but because it was a good habit I had developed. In fact, we were used to doing something right just because we have made obeying the rules a good habit. We do it just because we should do it. I thought if another man met with the same thing, he would make the same choice. I believed so. And I could be trusted (信任) by others. I believed that everyone would and could control (控制) himself/herself well. It was amazing that we trusted each other to do the right things, wasn’t it?【1】When the author drove behind the slow-moving truck, he felt ____.A．confused but happy B．sleepy and tired C．excited but tired D．angry and worried 【2】Who made the author stopped at the crossroad?A．A policeman.B．The author’s wife.C．The author himself.D．Another driver.【3】The author waited until the light went green because ____.A．running the light would make him fined B．he was afraid to cause an accidentC．he was prevented by the passers-by D．he was used to obeying traffic rules【4】The author is a person who ____.A．believes others easily B．can control himself wellC．treats others very unfriendly D．is very experienced in driving【5】 We can infer from the passage that ____.A．running the light could help the author get home earlierB．the author’s wife was angry because he got home lateC．the truck driver in front of the author might be drunkD．it was very necessary to have very strict traffic rules2. If you were on the street in Mexico today you might think you were in an operating room, surrounded by doctors. You could see many concerned people with masks (口罩) trying their best to stop the swine flu (猪流感). And the masks aren’t only being used in Mexico. A friend of mine traveling from New York City to Florida was given a mask and a pair of gloves just after he reached the airport. And another friend went to get a haircut only to be faced with a hairdresser wearing a mask!But do the masks really work? Is covering your nose and mouth the key to stopping the swine flu? To find out the truth, ABC’s reporter Sharyn Alfonsi talked with germ (细菌) expert Dr. Elaine Larsen. It turns out that when you sneeze (打喷嚏) the air coming out of your mouth at a speed of one hundred miles per hour carries germs which can travel anywhere around you and make people around you infected (被感染).However, whether you become infected actually depends on the weather. As Sharyn reported, when you sneeze, the germs leave your body in small drops of water coming out of your mouth. If the weather is wet, the wet air will make the small drops bigger and heavier and they drop down towards our feet. If this happens, we won’t be come infected. But if the air is dry, those small drops can float higher up, making it possible for them to touch someone else’s nose, mouth or their mask.Larsen says the masks can stop the germs well but after a few hours, they start to get wet, holding a lot of germs they come across and causing you to breathe them in. The masks do work, but the key to stopping the germs is changing your masks often.【1】According to Para.1, in Mexico you can see that ____.A．the patients are treated in the open airB．some doctors work in the streetC．people speak little to each other in the streetD．many people wear masks in the street【2】According to the passage a patient spreads germs mainly through ____.A．breathing B．Speaking C．touching others D．sneezing【3】We learn from the passage that on a wet day ____.A．sick people will be infectedB．germs can spread very farC．germs spread very quicklyD．few people will be infected【4】If you keep wearing a mask for a long time, ____.A．the mask will be old and worn outB．you’ll love the feeling of wearing itC．germs will be kept away from youD．it will be easy for you to be infected【5】What should we pay attention to when wearing masks?A．Keeping the masks dry.B．Changing the masks often.C．Choosing very thick masks.D．Wearing big masks.3.Every English learner hopes to find a patient native speaker who will politely correct mistakes and teach him some useful new vocabulary. But native speakers can be hard to find. If you’re having trouble communicating in English, American situation comedies are one good way to help.They can not only give you a lot of information about American culture, but also offer some useful daily expressions. Watching them will help you enlarge your vocabulary and teach you correct language usage in different situations. Best of all, situation comedies are a fun way to learn.The ApprenticeThe American reality (现实) TV show is hosted by the famous businessman Donald Trump. It’s based on the idea of the final job interview for the final job. The show picks 16 people to compete for a job with Trump’s business. Those who fail their weekly tasks have to meet with Trump. They have to explain why they should not be fired (解雇).The Apprentice is useful for English students who want to learn how to make up a persuasive (令人信服的)argument. For example, rather than say “I think I did a good job”, one may also learn to throw off the possibility of uncertainty by saying, “I did a good job.”Desperate Housewives (DH)Desperate Housewives is set in an invented American town, Wisteria Lane. It follows a group of middle-aged women as they go through their daily family lives. But in fact, those women live a life of lies, secrets, criminal (犯罪的) acts, and mystery.This program is good at expressing the funny life of American neighbors. And, it’s the perfect comedy series for foreign learners wanting to see how to hold a relaxed daily conversation.Another reason for watching DH is to learn some expressions American families use that are not in your English language textbooks. For example, the mothers often use words such as “sport” and “you guys” to speak about their kids.【1】According to the passage, The Apprentice and DH are introduced because _____.A．they are now the most popular programsB．they are helpful in English learningC．they are advertised for English beginnersD．they are enjoyed by most young people【2】Through watching the two American comedy series, English learners can do the following EXCEPT _____. A．communicate with native speakersB．know about American cultureC．pick up English daily expressionsD．learn more English words【3】In the author’s opinion, learning English through TV series is _____.A．common B．difficult C．enjoyable D．possible【4】We can learn from the passage that The Apprentice _____.A．tells a story of school life B．is about real lifeC．has 15 actors D．is about some businessmen【5】Which of the following statements about DH can we get from the introduction?A．The story happens in a village of America.B．The housewives join in the same job interview.C．The women in the American town lead a life full of sadness.D．It does well in describing an interesting neighborhood in America.4. Two good friends, Sam and Jason, met with a car accident on their way home one night. The next morning, Sam woke up blind. His legs were broken. The doctor, Mr Lee was standing by his bed, looking at him with a thoughtful expression. When he saw Sam awake, he asked, “How are you feeling, Sam?” Sam smiled and said, “Not bad, Doctor. Thank you for doing the operation (手术).” Mr Lee was moved by Sam. When he was leaving, Sam said, “Please don’t tell Jason about it.” “...OK.” Mr Lee replied.Months later when Jason’s wounds (伤) healed, Sam was still very sick. Neither could he see or walk. What he could do was just stay in his wheelchair all day long. At first, Jason stayed with him for a few days. But days later, Jason felt very discouraged and embarrassed to spend time staying with a disabled man like Sam. So he went to see Sa m less and less. He made new friends. From then on, he didn’t go to visit Sam any more. Sam didn’t have any family or friends other than Jason. He felt very sad.Things went from bad to worse. Sam died a year later. When Jason came, Mr Lee gave a letter to him. It was from Sam. In the letter Sam said, “Dear Jason, I am disabled. But I want you to be a healthy man. So I gave my eyes to you so that you can enjoy life as a healthy man. Now you have new friends. I’m glad to see that you areas healthy and happy as usual. I’m glad you live a happy life. You are always my best friend ... ... Sam”. When he finished reading the letter Mr Lee said, “I have promised that I will keep this a secret until Sam is gone. Now you know it.” Jason stood there.

One day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived — a well-known sage (a wise person) who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many people’s problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones.He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.Everybody was surprised. The hanging mango love r started to shout: “What are you doing?! Are you crazy? Do you want me to break my neck?” The sage was silent. Then he took another stone and threw it at the man. The man was very angry: “If I could just come down, I would show you!”That’s what everybody wanted. Then he was coming down. But how? Now everybody was tense about what would happen next! Some wanted to blame the sage, but they didn’t. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was even more angry and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge (复仇).He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really saved him because he induced (引诱) him to try his best and save himself.“I should be thankful and not angry.”【1】From the story we know that the sweetest mango must be the one ______.A．on the very top of a tree B．hidden in the middle of a treeC．on the tree for the longest time D．exposed to sunlight less often【2】What happened after he had picked a few sweet reddish mangoes?A．He slipped and fell to the ground suddenly.B．He was climbing down quickly but carefully.C．He remained hanging helplessly on the tree.D．He shouted loudly for help but no one helped.【3】How did the man feel when the sage hit him with a stone?A．He was nervous.B．He kept silent.C．He felt surprised.D．He was angry.【4】What do you think motivated (caused) the man to climb down?A．Courage.B．Revenge.C．Carefulness.D．Assistance.【5】 What does the story imply?A．Anger saves one’s life.B．Wisdom does count (很重要).C．Skill and strength count.D．Anger is the biggest enemy.2.BWhat happens inside the skull of a soccer player when repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivated a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with soccer-playing children.For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past.Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complicated new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans.According to the data they presented at Radiological Society of North America meeting last month, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury”, like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.【1】The passage is most probably a ________.A．news report B．research reportC．story for soccer players D．text for doctors【2】 In which way can researchers find the structural changes in the brain?A．Computerized test B．QuestionnaireC．Scanning D．M.R.I. technique【3】 From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have ________.A．significant effect on brain B．little effect on one’s brainC．nothing to do with the brain injury D．one’s memory improved【4】What is likely to be the cause of memory loss?A．Playing soccer frequently B．Tests of their memoryC．White matter loss D．Information processing【5】The underlined word “fumbling” is closest in meaning to ________?A．remembering B．misunderstanding C．recalling D．missing3.CAll parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life, but any parent can tell you that it’s hard to let go of your children. That balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking. Years of experience means that parents often do know best, but on the other hand the young, being less bound by tradition, are often more creative, more able to find new solutions to old problems. Revolutions are led by the young.Good teachers make the growth of critical thinking (批判性思维) easier in their students, only to find that this lead to a questioning of the teachers’ basic beliefs. Schools encourage parents to become involved, but are often embarrassed when parents have doubts about some of the educational methods being used. Governmentsencourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process. And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies or decisions of that same government. However, the rebellious (叛逆的) young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development. They are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent in their demands, but their voices must be heard.Good parents know that just forbidding (禁止) particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities. Indeed, sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting, just because it is not accepted by authority. Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts, know as much as possible about the lives of their children, provide a good example, encourage more wholesome activities but also suppo rt their children when they don’t follow what is expected of them. But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go.【1】By saying “Revolutions are led by the young.”, the author indicates that young people are more _______. A．conventional B．realistic C．creative D．heartbreaking【2】From the second Paragraph we know ________.A．teachers’ basic beliefs should be questioned by studentsB．schools encourage parents to question their education methodsC．government is satisfied with the new leaders’ attack on the policiesD．the voice of the rebellious young should be heard by the government【3】In order to educate children well, parents should _______.A．forbid particular behaviors in their daily lifeB．know them well and set a good example to themC．educate them with facts and expect much of themD．know as much as possible about their children【4】From the passage we can learn that the author prefers _______.A．free parenting B．traditional parentingC．critical parenting D．smart parenting【5】What is the best title of the passage?A．Letting Go –for Children’s Independent LifeB．Parents’ Task –in Children’s DevelopmentC．Way of Growth – for the Young GroupsD．Teaching Methods – for Teachers and Schools4.DAt the railway stations all across Britain next week, groups of students will gather with their backpacks to wait for the trains that will carry them home for Christmas. This is a large movement of human beings as before, but with more contradictory traffic flows, so that trains filled with the young pass each other travelling in every direction. At first, I went home every weekend with my washing, but then those visits became less regular. How did I let my parents know I was coming? They had no phone. Perhaps I wrote to them (“Expect me with dirty shirts this Friday afternoon”), but more likely I didn’t let them know, and just turned up or didn’t turn up, not understanding that my parents’ hopes of seeing me were a greater disappointment of my carelessness than a spoiled tea.And in all this I suspect I was typical (有代表性的), at least of young men. As for our fathers and mothers, none of them talked of “empty-nest syndrome (综合症)”, even though its possible eff ect that the main human duty is to protect and feed the young would have suited their generation better than ours. Then, the feeling of loss went without a name. Today, it’s a condition with remedies, which will make parents feel more enjoyable in their life, The Mayo Clinic, for example, suggests you try to maintain regular contact with your children through “visits,phone calls, emails, texts or video chats”. If you feel unhappy, lean on (depend on … for support) loved ones or your mental health providers. Above all, stay positive: “Thinking about the extra time and energy that you might have to devote to your marriage or personal interests after your last child leaves home, it might help you adapt to this major life change.”What can’t be denied, however, is that children often leave home. In modern societies, this is what they do. Christmas is the very time they can be depended on to return. For the non-religious, that may be this season’s true comfort and significance.【1】The main reason for the busy traffic across Britain next week is that _______.A．young students will travel home for Christmas.B．young people will travel in every direction.C．it is a large movement of human beingsD．the traffic flows will be more contradictory【2】From the second paragraph we can learn that the writer _______.A．went home every week to wash dirty clothesB．understood his parents’ desire of seeing himC．didn’t understand his parents’ feelingsD．went home to see his parents regularly【3】The underlined word “remedies” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.A．reasons B．excuses C．habits D．solutions【4】From the last paragraph we know that _______.A．in modern society, children should leave homeB．Christmas is likely a time for family reunionC．the significance of Christmas is celebrationD．Christmas is not a comfort for the non-religious【5】From the passage we can infer that by writing the article the writer is to _______.A．persuade the young to show concern for their parentsB．ask the young to go home regularlyC．make the young understand their parents’ interestD．enable the young to be more independent四、其他1.… such as making breakfast on dark, cold winter mornings for children 【1】 and sleepy, before sending them off to school; or special occasions such as homecomings or【2】 .It always【3】 the fullest and noisiest room in the house.However, according to【4】, the universe began with a “Big Bang” that threw matter【5】 .【6】 with fire and rock.

The little girl has made it her mission (使命) to help the homeless in her community by giving them a place to sleep. While most other kids at her age are playing with toys, Hailey picks up power tools to build tiny shelters for people living on the streets.Four years ago, Hailey and her mother bought a homeless man a sandwich in her hometown. Then, she realized that she wanted to do more in terms of providing food for the homeless. So she came up with the idea of starting a garden, called “Hailey’s Harvest”, to grow and donate (捐赠) fresh produce. In 2014, Hailey managed to grow 128 pounds of produce and donated every bit of it to a local food bank. The project’s success inspired her to think beyond food. She wanted to give the homeless a roof to spend the night under, so she decided to build small mobile sleeping shelters equipped with basic facilities (设施).With her mother’s help, Hailey applied for a grant from Together Raising, and was awarded $3,000 to help her get started. The wooden homes that Hailey is building will feature (以…为特征) front doors, windows, solar panels(电池板) and so on. Believe it or not, she does most of the work herself, with a bit of guidance from her mother and her grandfather. She is currently halfwaythrough her first home, which she intends to give to Edward, the homeless man who inspired her project.24. What does the underlined word “grant” mean in Para 3?A. An amount of money.B. A business permit.C. A job opportunity.D. A bit of guidance.25.Which one is a feature of the wooden homes for the homeless?A. They have many facilities.B. They can’t be moved.C.

What may be the best title for the passage?A. The planned homes for the homeless.B. A nine-year-old girl who helps the homeless.C. A successful project called “Hailey’s Harvest”.D. A helpful organization called “Together Raising”.CIt’s OK to say you’ve never heard of g rime—unless you’re from the UK. That’s because this music was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.To someone who’s not familiar with underground musicculture, it’s easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many pe ople didn’t bother to tell them apart, until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this year’s Mobo—“music of black o rigin”—award nominations (提名) in the UK.Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.Lady Leshurr, known as the "Grime Queen said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didn’t want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And there’s no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music: be yourself.Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena (现象) like the European refugee (难民) problem and the gap between the rich and poor.Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.28. What do hip-hop and grime music have in common?A. They are originated in the UK.B. They make a lot of loud noise.C. They challenge traditional cultures.D. They are full of creative ideas.29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Electronic music.B. Hip-hop.C. Grime music.D. Black music.30. What can be learned about grime singers?A. They care too much about themselves.B. They refuse to be judged by others.C. They tend to take social responsibility.D. They show strong independence qualities.31. What does Skepta’s success suggest?A. Grime is gradually getting recognized.B. Singers should try to be themselves.C. Grime has become mainstream music.D. It is easy to win the Mercury Prize.DIn any theatrical performance the actors are just a small part of the people needed.Once the play has been decided by the director, the actors must be chosen. This is done by casting,a very skillful and important occupation. The actors will create a success or a failure out of a production. They have to be right for the part they will play, and also work well with the director.Production planning is the next important step. The style of the play is confirmed (确定) and then a small model of the different rooms on stage (sets) is created. It will be important that the sets can be taken down and rebuilt easily as the production may travel to different theatres.Detailed drawings of each set are produced and the Workshop, Paintshop and Props Department go to work. The Props Department is responsible for some of the stage furniture plus the extra items which the actor will need while they are on stage.The Costume Designer decides how all the actors will be dressed. This includes shoes, hats, costumes, jewels. Costume makers have fittings with the actors to get the costume sizes right for the whole cast. Wigs (假发) and make-up are dealt with by another set of experts.It is the Stage Planning team who schedule rehearsals(排练) and decisions made here will affect how the production is organized.The Stage Department is responsible for making sure that everything at the theatre is in place and working properly. Before the play is performed, they will have a technical(技术的) run of the performance in which the Lighting and Sound team work to create the right effects.Few realize how many people are behind the scenes every time the curtain rises at the theatre!32.What is the text mainly about?A. The work behind the stage.B. The course of choosing actors.C. The importance of a director's job.D. The course of a theatrical performance.33.Why is it important for the sets to be taken down?A. It will save much money.B. The sets will often be used in other theatres.C. The director wants to create the right effects.D. It will make the stage convenient for the actors to use.34.Which of the following shows the correct steps of a theatrical performance?a. creating stage settingsb. finishing the castingc. deciding a playd. having rehearsalsA. c-a-b-d.B. b-a-c-d.C. b-a-d-c.D. c-b-a-d.35.Which of the following can be learned from the text?A. The actors' job is the least important of a theatrical performance.B. More and more people realize the job done behind the scenes.C. Costume makers sometimes take care of wigs and make-up as well.D. The Stage Department takes charge of the technical run of the performance.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填入空白处的最佳选项。

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to house wher e the sign outside said “VACABCUES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”【1】 My Spanish friends wanted advice about __________.A．learning EnglishB．finding places to stay in EnglandC．driving their car on English roadsD．going to England by car【2】I suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” houses because__________.A．they would be able to practise their EnglishB．it would be much cheaper than staying in hotelsC．it would be convenient for them to have dinnerD．there would be no problem about finding accommodation there【3】“NO VACANCIES” in English means__________.A．no free rooms B．free roomsC．not away on holiday D．holidays【4】If you see a road sign that says “Diversion” in UK, you will__________.A．fall into a holeB．have a lot of fun and enjoy yourselfC．find that the road is blocked by crowds of peopleD．have to take a different road【5】When someone offered me more coffee and I said “Thank you” in French, I__________.A．didn’t really want any more coffeeB．wanted them to take the coffee pot awayC．really wanted some more coffeeD．wanted to express my politeness2.1 Day Fly-Fly Aboriginal Rock TourTour DetailsOperator: Adventure North AustraliaDestination: CooktownDeparts From: CairnsTour DescriptionVoted as one of Australia’s Must-Do-Experiences.

Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.【1】In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to__________. A．develop closer relations B．share the same cultureC．get to know each other D．keep each other company【2】 The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that__________.A．the English prefer to make long speechesB．too many words are of no useC．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD．even talk and silence can be culturally different【3】According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A．By sharing different ways of life.B．By accepting different habits.C．By recognizing different values.D．By speaking each other’ s languages.【4】What would be the best title for the text?A．Multicultural Environment.B．Cross-Cultural Differences.C．How to Understand Each Other.D．How to Build Up a Relationship.【5】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．I talked too much in the speech, which surprised the audience.B．Within Northern Europe, there are no such things as cultural differences.C．There is no way to overcome cultural differences.D．Different cultures have difference in relationship building.4.Forgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is les s obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression(抑郁). They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.【1】 The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear__________.A．by raising his own examples B．based on his own experienceC．by mentioning some studies D．by mentioning some typical patients【2】The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to__________.A．support the viewpoint that anger and hatred harm physical and mental healthB．introduce a famous expertC．let the reader know the different colours of cartoon facesD．show how to control one’s temper【3】The underlined phrase“holding on to”in this passage possibly means“__________”.A．removing B．keeping up C．getting rid of D．learning about【4】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A．People who are able to forgive feel less stress.B．People who are able to forgive feel less depression.C．People who are able to forgive have fewer problems on sleeping.D．People who are able to forgive feel less tired.【5】The best title for this passage is probably__________.A．Forgiveness B．Forgiveness Is Good for HealthC．A Secret to Keeping Health D．Anger Is Bad for Health四、单词拼写1.

（共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）AChinese New Year is a celebration marking the end of the winter season and the beginning of spring. This is why decorating rooms with plants, fruits and blooming flowers carries special significance. They represent the earth coming back to life and wishes for new beginnings. Here are some of the most popular things and their special meanings.Oranges TreesOrange trees are more than decorations; they are a symbol of good luck and wealth. They make great gifts and you see them many times decorated with red envelopes and messages of good blessings. The fruits are a lso some of the “lucky” foods, which are a must during the celebrations.BambooChinese love their “Lucky Bamboo” plants and you will see them often in their homes and offices. Certainly during the holiday period, this plant is a must. Bamboo plants and stems are used frequently in feng shui and are associated with health, abundance and a happy home. They are easy to care for and make great presents.Brunches of Plum Blossoms (梅花)The beautiful long branches covered with pink-colored buds(蓓蕾) make fantastic decorations. The plum trees are the first to flower even as snow is melting after a cold winter. They represent the promise of spring and a renewal of life.PeoniesPeonies stand for prosperity and peace and are considered as China’s national flower; they are often a subject of classical paintings. The peony is also known as the “king of flowers” and represents royalty, virtue and honor.NarcissiNarcissi flower right around Chinese New Year and are considered as a symbol of luck and wealth. Their sweet fragrance(芳香) is also highly respected in Chinese culture.1. If you are not good at growing plants, which will you probably choose?A. Bamboo.B. Plum blossoms.C. PeoniesD. Narcissi2. What is special about peony?A. Oil painters prefer painting it.B. It is usually used in feng shui.C. It bears fruits considered as lucky foods.D. It is called the “king of flowers”.3. In which section may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Culture.D. Science.BTo say there are many new holiday romantic comedies made for television every year is the kind of understatement nearly like a joke. One of the reasons why they tend to be formulaic(公式化的) is that to tell a love story in roughly an hour and a half without cha llenging an audience’s settled expectations, there are only so many ways to go with the rhythm. Perhaps that’s why Netflix has better luck with Dash＆Lily, an eight-episode(八集) limited series that’s got the charm that a lot of holiday films lack.Our story begins when a lonely Lily leaves an interesting note in a book on the shelf at The Strand, hoping a stranger will start an adventure with her. Dash finds it and reads it, and he accepts its challenge. Thus begins a correspondence in which they each write down messages in the book and then leave it somewhere for the other, so that they never meet in person, but they get to send each other to their favorite places, sometimes to complete dares before the book can be found. Now, you do not want to think too carefully about this ——the idea that Lily’s hidden clue would be found by an age-appropriate straight boy who likes mysteries and looks like he was born to be her lover is the height of magic, so just stay relaxed and go with it.These eight episodes, each around 30 minutes, never drag; they fly by joyfully. The ending, as is often the case with love stories, is a little messy but worth cheering for. It’s as lovely and comfortable as you could want it, just about perfect for a weekend with a blanket over you.4. What made Dash＆Lily stand out among other films?A. Being formulaic to tell a romantic story.B. Presenting a new romantic television show.C. Attracting the audience with its typical charm.D. Satisfying the audience’s settled expectations.5. What does the underlined word “correspondence” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Relationship between two facts.B. Communication connecting two persons.C. Reports of study sent off by post.D. Action of writing, receiving, and reading letters.6. Which of the following best describes Dash?A. Preferring reading.B. Behaving strangely.C. Acting romantically.D. Enjoying adventures.7. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce a charming movie.B. To recommend a holiday comedy.C. To praise the romantic director.D. To explain what makes a good film.CBuying clothes for a special event, hiding the price tickets and returning them to the store the next day has for years been the method of economical shoppers. Today people are doing it just for social media.A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard revealed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers tends to buy clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. After the “outfit (装束) of the day” makes it online, they return it to the store. According to Barclaycard, the “try before you buy” policy of online retailers (零售商) --- where people pay for clothing they order online after they try it on at home --- could be contributing to this rising trend.But the rise of social media has meant that everyone, not just superstars, expects to build and maintain a personal brand. Since we’re documenting our lives and posting them online for public judgment, getting caught in the same outfits more than once should be avoided. And the cost of all those outfits of the day adds up, which makes returning a popular way.There are brands that tailor clothes specifically for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova. “These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandon ed,” Allison P. Davis wrote in her report about the brand.Another favorite of the social media age is Rent the Runway, which lets customers rent designer clothing for a fee.Some, however, are moving in the opposite direction. Groups promoting “work unifo rms” have increased greatly in recent years, aiming to free women from “the annoyance of clothing decisions”. The concept of the “capsule wardrobe”(胶囊衣柜), which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a comeback.8. What does the survey by Barclaycard suggest?A. Some Britons send outfits back after shoots.B. Britons try on clothes before online purchases.C. Britons follow the fashion stars closely.D. Some Britons over-order and return clothes.9. What’s Fashion Nova’s special service?A. Renting chargeable designer clothes.B. Creating unique shopping experiences.C. Offering customers single-use clothes.D. Helping shoppers improve their clothing style.10. What’s the idea behind the “capsule wardrobe”?A. Better fewer, but better.B. Less addition, but more enjoyment.C. Less uniform, and more freedom.D. More choices, and less annoyance.11. What’s the purpose of the author to write the text?A. To compare different wearing trends.B. To criticize the “try before you buy” policy.C. To advocate buying high-quality clothes.D. To introduce Britain’s new wearing trend.DEveryone needs to be safe, loved and to have a sense of belonging. These are inborn and natural basic needs. In an effort to have these needs satisfied, many of us tend to please others. And it works for a while. We find that we experience less conflict with others, but the conflict within ourselves grows. Saying “no” produces feeling of guilt andsaying “yes” brings anger.My father was in the military, so we moved frequently. Being shy, I didn’t make friends. What’s more, I grew up in a household where grades, image and how others saw our family were very important. In our household a “C” was unacceptable, a “B” should have been an “A” and an “A” meant the lesson was too easy. I was too skinny, my sister was too fat and my brother’s lips and ears were too big for his tiny head.To stop pleasing others is easier said than done. It’s a long process, one in w hich I am consistently working to perfect. The turning point for me came shortly after I got married. The very first thing we did to end the cycle of pleasing others was develop our own identity as independent human beings and then as a couple. And then we developed a strong set of core(核心) values and a vision for our future. The third and one of the most valuable things we did during this process was develop our own personal influence on others and we valued deeply the opinions of the wiser and more successful people around us.Besides, we should understand that sometimes helping people actually hurts them. The struggle is necessary to success. The struggle strengthens character, making people determined. So sometimes allowing people to struggle is the best thing you can do for them.12. How are we likely to feel when pleasing others?A. AngryB. Satisfied.C. GuiltyD. Happy13. What can we infer from the author’s experience as a child?A. He grew up doing a lot of housework.B. It was hard for him to adapt to the moving life.C. He realized the value of opinions from others.D. His parents had great expectations of the children.14. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. What steps the author took to go on pleasing others.B. Why the author further developed his values and character.C. How the author stepped out of the cycle of pleasing others.D. When the author turned to others for their valuable opinions.15. What does the author suggest doing?A. Helping others without delay.B. Thinking twice before offering help.C. Refusing to help others.D. Leaving someone in trouble alone.第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
