Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1The phrase almost completes itself: midlife crisis. It’s the stage in the middle of the journey when people feel youth vanishing, their prospects narrowing and death approaching.There’s only one problem with the cliche (套话).It isn’t true.“In fact, there is almost no hard evidence for midlife crisis other than a few small pilot studies conducted decades ago,”Barbara Hagerty writes in her new book, Life Reimagined. The vast bulk of the research shows that there may be a pause, or a shifting of gears in the 40s or 50s, but this shift “can be exciting, rather than terrifying”.Barbara Hagerty looks at some of the features of people who turn midlife into a rebirth. They break routines, because “autopilot is death”. They choose purpose over happiness一having a clear sense of purpose even reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. They give priority to relationships, as careers often recede(逐渐淡化).Life Reimagined paints a picture of middle age that is far from gloomy. Midlife seems like the second big phase of decision-making. Your identity has been formed; you’ve built up your resources; and now you have the chance to take the big risks precisely because your foundation is already secure.Karl Barth described midlife precisely this way. At middle age, he wrote, “the sowing is behind; now is the time to reap. The run has been taken; now is the time to leap. Preparation has been made; now is the time for the venture of the work itself.”The middle-aged person, Barth continued, can see death in the distance, but moves with a “measured haste”to get big new things done while there is still time.What Barth wrote decades ago is even truer today. People are healthy and energetic longer. We have presidential candidates running for their first term in office at age 68, 69 and 74. A longer lifespan ischanging the narrative structure of life itself. What could have been considered the beginning of a descent is now a potential turning point—the turning point you are most equipped to take full advantage of.1.What does the author think of the phrase “midlife crisis”?A) It has led to a lot of debate. B) It is widely acknowledged.C) It is no longer fashionable. D) It misrepresents real life.2.How does Barbara Hagerty view midlife?A) It may be the beginning of a crisis.B) It can be a new phase of one’s life.C) It can be terrifying for the unprepared.D)It may see old-age diseases approaching.3.How is midlife pictured in the book Life Reimagined?A) It can be quite rose.B) It can be burdensome.C) It undergoes radical transformation.D) It makes for the best part of one’s life.4.According to Karl Barth, midlife is the time_______.A) to relax B) to matureC) to harvest D) to reflect5.What does the author say about midlife today?A) It is more meaningful than other stages of life.B) It is likely to change the narrative of one’s life,C) It is more important to those with a longer lifespan.D)It is likely to be a critical turning point in one’s life.Passage 2In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs”that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,”says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.”Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.“There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world,”says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.6.Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?A) It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.B) It is their major source of protein in winter.C) It can easily be made into a work of art.D) It can bring wealth and honor to them.7.What do we learn about the decorated “eggs”in Russia?A) They are shaped like jewel cases.B) They are cherished by the rich.C) They are heavily painted in red.D) They are favored as a form of art.8.Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?A) Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.B) Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.C) Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.D) Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.9.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?A) She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.B) She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.C) She always derives great pleasure from designing something new.D) She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.10.What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting?A) It originated in the eastern part of Europe.B) It has a history of over two thousand years.C) It is the most time-honored form of fancy art.D) It is especially favored as a church decoration.Passage 3The Urbanization —migration away from the suburbs to the city center —will be the biggest real estate trend in 2015, according to a new report.The report says America’s urbanization will continue to be the most significant issue affecting the industry, as cities across the country imitate the walkability and transit-oriented development makingcities like New York and San Francisco so successful.As smaller cities copy the model of these “24-hour cities,’’tfiore affordable versions of these places will be created. The report refers to this as the coming of the “18-hour city,”,and uses the term to refer to cities like Houston, Austin, Charlotte, and Nashville, which are “positioning themselves as highly competitive, in terms of livability, employment offerings, and recreational and cultural facilities.”Another trend that looks significant in 2015 is that America’s largest population group, Millennials (千禧一代),will continue to put off buying a house. Apartments will retain their appeal for a while for Millennials, haunted by what happened to home-owning parents.This trend will continue into the 2020s, the report projects. After that, survey respondents disagree over whether this generation will follow in their parents,footsteps, moving to the suburbs to raise families, or will choose to remain in the city center.Another issue affecting real estate in the coming year will be America’s failing infrastructure. Most roads, bridges, transit, water systems, the electric grid, and communications networks were installed 50 to 100 years ago, and they are largely taken for granted until they fail.The report’s writers state that America’s failure to invest in infrastructure impacts not only the health of the real-estate market, but also our ability to remain globally competitive.Apart from the specific trends highlighted above, which cause some investors to worry, the report portrays an overall optimism borne by the recent healthy real-estate “upcycle”and improving economy. Seventy-four percent of the respondents surveyed report a “good to excellent”expectation of real-estate profitability in 2015. While excessive optimism can promote bad investment patterns, resulting in a real- estate “bubble,”the report’s writers downplay that potential outcome in that it has not yet occurred.11. According to the new report, real estate development in 2015 will witness_______ .A) an accelerating speedB) a shift to city centersC) a new focus on small citiesD) an ever-increasing demand12. What characterizes “24-hour cities”like New York?A) People can live without private cars.B) People are generally more competitive.C) People can enjoy services around the clock.D) People are in harmony with the environment.13. Why are Millennials reluctant to buy a house?A) They can only afford small apartments.B) The house prices are currently too high.C) Their parents' bad experience still haunts them.D) They feel attached to the suburban environment.14. What might hinder real estate development in the U.S.?A) The continuing economic recession in the country.B) The lack of confidence on the part of investors.C) The fierce global competition.D) The worsening infrastructure.15. How do most of the respondents in the survey feel about the U.S. real-estate market in 2015?A) Pessimistic. B) Hopeful.C) Cautious. D) Uncertain.Part II: Vocabulary and Structure(2*10=20)Directions: In this part there are 10 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

But a New Jersey based company, called TerraCycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse.Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking, but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging, between 2000 and 2014, global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent, and a whole lot of those cigarette ends are ending up as trash. Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways, cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment. “It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute aliter of water,” Terra Cycle founder, Tom Szaky, said. “Animals can also mistake littered cigarette ends for food.”So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? Terra Cycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it on non-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these, Terra Cycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.They’re now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can’t be recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfill (垃圾填埋), and then get companies to provide money for the process. And so far, it’s working.“We haven’t found anything that we can’t recycle,” communications director of Terra Cycle, Albe Zakes, said. “But with t he amount and variety of packaging and litter in the world, we are always looking for new waste streams to address.”4.What does Terra Cycle intend to do?A.Search for recyclable materials for use.B.Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible.C.Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products.D.Recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable.5.The underlined word “trash” in Paragraph 2 probably means .A.rubbishB. poisonC. disasterD. ruin6.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.The effective use of cigarette ends.B.The process of recycling cigarette ends.C.The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends.D.The reason for breaking down cigarette ends.7.What Albe said in the last paragraph implies that .A.there is more and more waste to be recycledB.it is difficult for Terra Cycle to recycle everythingC.Terra Cycle is trying to meet the challenge of new wasteD.Terra Cycle has successfully recycled a large amount of wasteCRats and other animals need to be highly tuned to social signals from others so that they can identify friends to cooperate with and enemies to avoid. To find out if this extends to non-living beings, Loleh Quinn at the University of California, San Diego, and her colleagues tested whether rats can detect social signals from robotic rats.They housed eight adult rats with two types of robotic rat --- one social and one asocial---for 5 days. The robots rats were quite minimalist, resembling a chunkier version of a computer mouse with wheels---to move around and colorful markings.During the experiment, the social robot rat followed the living rats around, played with the same toys, and opened caged doors to let trapped rats escape. Meanwhile, the asocial robot simply moved forwards and backwards and side to side.Next, the researchers trapped the robots in cages and gave the rats the opportunity to release them by pressing a lever.Across 18 trials each, the living rats were 52 percent more likely on average to set the social robot free than the asocial one. This suggests that the rats perceived the social robot as a genuine social being. They may have bonded more with the social robot because it displayed behaviours like communal exploring and playing. This could lead to the rats better remembering having freed it earlier, and wanting the robot to return the favour when they get trapped, says Quinn.The readiness of the rats to befriend the social robot was surprising given its minimal design. The robot was the same size as a regular rat but resembled a simple plastic box on wheels. “We’d assumed we’d have to give it a moving head and tail, facial features, and put a scene on it to make it smell like a real rat, but that wasn’t necessary,” says Janet Wiles at the University of Queensland in Australia, who helped with the research.The finding shows how sensitive rats are to social cues, even when they come from basic robots. Similarly, children tend to treat robots as if they are fellow beings, even when they display only simple social signals. “We humans seem to be fascinated by robots, and it turns out other animals are too,” says Wiles.8.Quinn and her colleagues conducted a test to see if rats can .A.send out warning messages to their fellowB.distinguish a friendly rat from a hostile oneC.attain sociable traits through special trainingD.pick up social signals from non-living rats9.What did the asocial robot do during the experiment?A.It followed the social robot.B.It played with some toys.C.It moved around alone.D.It set the trapped rats free.10.According to Quinn, the rats released the social robot because they_ .A.tried to practice a means of escapeB.expected it to do the same in returnC.wanted to display their intelligenceD.considered that an interesting game11.It can be learned from the text that .A.rats are more sensitive to social cues than expectedB.rats are more socially active than other animalsC.rats behave differently from children in socializingD.rats appear to be adaptable to new surroundingsDYou’ve probably heard that brick-and-mortar retail(实体零售) is in trouble. Even industry giants are closing hundreds of stores. Given retail’s gradual change to mobile and e-commerce, you may be wondering. What will retail look like in the future? Nobody knows. But here are a few things you can expect to see based on current technology.Ultrafast delivery is coming. Today, the normal practice is two-day delivery. But if you’ve been paying attention, you know that’s changing. In fact, a surprisingly high 25% of consumers said that they would abandon their orders if one-day delivery wasn’t avail able. Of course, that’s just the beginning. Two-hour delivery is coming in the foreseeable future, and Amazon has already been trying 30-minute delivery.Your kitchen will resupply itself. You won’t have to worry about running out of essentials like coffee, pet food or snacks because your containers will sense stock levels and replace those items without you having to lift a finger. No more waking up to find your coffee store is empty or last-minute trips to the grocery store because you forgot to buy pet food.Know exactly what’s in stock and where. Have you ever gone to a store hoping to buy something, only to learn that they were out of stock? A new feature from Google Home allows people to ask Google Assistant to find in-stock products at the closeststo re. For example: “Google, where can I find the Nintendo Switch console?” An assistant will tell you how many stores have it right then and how close they are. Of course, it isn’t currently available for all stores in all locations, but you can already see a future when it has become standard.Convenience, experience, and options---retail will take on a new look.12.How does the author develop the passage?A.By arguing and debating.B.By asking and answering.C.By analyzing and commenting.D.By comparing and concluding.13.What can we know from Paragraph 2?A.Consumers can’t get their orders in one day now.B.Superfast delivery has widely been used now.C.The delivery will be in two days in the future.D.It is possible to deliver goods within two hours in the future.14.According to the passage, what will happen in the future?A.Shopping will be more convenient and effective.B.Industrial giants will rule the whole retail trade.C.Retail will disappear gradually.D.People will ask Google Assistant to purchase goods.15.What’s probably the best title of the passage?A.How Will We Run the Retail Trade in the Future?B.How Will New Technology Change the World?C.What Will Retail Be Like in the Future?D.What Benefits Will High-tech Bring in the Future?阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

(2 points for each, altogether 30 points) Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.The place of the child in society has varied for thousands of years and has been affected bydifferent cultures and religions. In ancient times unwanted children were occasionally abandoned, put to death, exploited, or offered for religious sacrifices, and in any event a large percentage of them didn’t survive their physically hazardous existence to achieve maturity. In Western civilization within the last few hundred years, there have been many changes in attitude toward the young. In agricultural Europe , and later with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the children of the poor worked long hours for little or no pay, and there was no public concern for their safety or welfare. Punishment could be brutal and severe, and sometimes religious passions were expressed violently with a view toward saving the child's soul.By the eighteenth century the harsh, deterministic, doctrinaire methods began to show some change. Society slowly accorded children a role of more importance. Books were written expressly for them and gradually laws were passed for their protection.In the past few decades parents have become more attentive to the needs of their children. Better health care is available and education is no longer reserved for a limited few. With so many now able to go to college, many educators feel that we have too many students and too few competent scholars. Some say the pendulum in child rearing has swung so far toward permissiveness that many children are growing up alienated from society and with no respect for law or parental authority.The tendency today is for teachers and parents to emphasize individual responsibility and to stress that educational goals for students should be tailored to their chosen vocations rather than provide a generalized higher education.51. What does the article say about children?A. They have always been the hope of mankind.;B. In certain periods of history no one cared about them.;C. In the mid-eighteenth century western attitudes toward children began to change.;D. There were laws barring child labor during the industrial revolution. 52. What does the article say about children in ancient times?A. They were often cruelly beaten.;B. At times they were used as sacrificialofferings.;C. People who didn't want children usually murdered them.;D. Though they were abused or neglected by their parents, children survived to adulthoodwith little difficulty.53. What changes have occurred in the past few decades with regard to the child's place in society?A. Child raising hasbecomemore permissive.;B. Public health care has improved somuch that children now need no particular health care.;C. Children are becoming more intelligent.;D. Children are becoming more respectfultoward their parents.54. What is the present trend in child discipline and education?A. Giving as many young people as possible a popular generalized college education.; B . Creating more regimentation of the individual.; C. Teaching children to conform to rigorous rules.;D. Emphasizing individual responsibility. 55. Implied, but not directly stated, is the followingA. Methods used to treat children in the past were worse than those at present.;B. There are laws passed for protection of children.;C. Parents pay more attention to the needs of their children.;D. Many books have been written for children.When you have completed your college education, you will look for a job suited to your training, interests, and ambitions (志向). In most cases, you will visit a likely employer’s office and complete an application form for the position in which you are interested. The employer may then make a decision regarding your ability on the basis of the application form and a personal interview.Throughout your lifetime, however, you may find yourself in other job-seeking situations in an attempt to improve your position. As you gain experience, you are likely to become ambitious for better and better jobs. These better jobs often request written letters of application and summaries of your background and experience. Your writing skills may an important part in obtaining the job you desire.In any job-seeking situation, there are a number of ways you may use your writing skills: to complete an application form, prepare a resume, write an application letter, or write employment follow-up letters. As an ambitious job-seeker, therefore, you should be able to prepare all the written material that will help you obtain the job you want.56.

Writing Skills Help Job-seekingWhat do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities.We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.61. What we need in life is divided into _________ according to this article.A. the basic necessities and luxury;B. many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses;C. f our groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expense;D. the basic necessities and reliable income 62. A person who gets the basic necessities must _______ according to the writer.A. have a reliable income;B. learn how to please his manager;C. finish his work ahead the time;D. get a good education63. We all enjoy ____.A. having only reliable income.B. havin g reliable income and extra income.C. having nothing more than food and clothing.D. having nothing more than reliable income. 64. With time going on,A. a luxury may change into a need which most people want to get.;B. the basic needs are getting smaller and smaller.;C. a luxury and the basic needs can be exchanged.; D . the basic needs can be changed into a luxury. 65. If most of the people of a country have a television, weA. can say the television is a need in the same sense as food and clothing and shelter.;B. can say the television must be in the basic necessities.;C. cannot say the television is in the basic necessities.;D. can say every family must have one.IV.

Read the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding four items:Ⅴ, Ⅵ,Ⅶan d Ⅷ.A Difficult InterviewThe recent large exhibition of the paintings of Mr. James Hummer drew a lot of attention to this artist.At seventy, he had been painting quietly for over fifty years, and up till then he had only held small exhibition of his work. These had brought him a small a-mount of fame, but suddenly everyone was talking about him and everybody knew his name. People said he was an “Importan t Contemporary Artist”. Mr. Hum mer, for his part, shook his head and asked himself why people wouldn’t leave him alone. He said he had no time for meeting journalists, but of course all the newspapers and magazines wanted to interview him. He didn’t like to be famous.His friends, however, said that underneath he was charming and only outwardly seemed a little strange. They explained that he was sometimes very shy and didn’t like to talk about himself, sometimes quite the opposite. Nobody can tell.In view of this, it is not surprising that when a young woman journalist was sent to interview him in his tiny house deep in the Sussex Downs, she felt rather nervous. But the interview went worse than expected.When she arrived, Mr. Hummer was sitting at a small unsteady table and could hardly be seen for a forest of paintbrushes in pots of water. In the middle of these was a bottle of whisky. From time to time he poured some into a paint-stained glass and drank it rapidly.He smiled politely and said that of course he didn’t mind answering some questions. He drank some whisky and put his head on one side as if to hear the questions better. He looked like a serious artist.In what she hoped was a suitable voice, the girl asked him what purpose in society he fulfilled as a painter. She wanted to know whether he saw his duty as a painter to be teaching people or entertaining them. Then there was a dry laugh and then silence for a long time. The girl began to wonder if he hadn’t heard her, but at length Mr. Hummer coughed and broke the silence by asking slowly what on earth she expected as an answer to such a question. He only painted pictures, th said, and left other people to say what they meant and why he had done them.Now it was the girl’s turn to look astonis hed. This was not the way important contemporary artists were supposed to speak. They always had their own theories. Feeling foolish, she asked if it had really been as easy as that to paint the brilliant pictures that everybody admired. Mr. Hummer only smiled to himself and invited her to have some whisky. Then silence again. The only thing she could do was to try again, the girl thought, so she asked him why he had become a painter, This time Mr. Hummer was very quick, but replied with another question. He asked her how she earned her living. Painting, he continued, was like coal-mining: it was a job which filled the space between cradle and grave, and he happened to do it quite well.The interview seemed to have gone quite wrong. Looking for an easy question, the girl asked him about the visits she had heard he regularly made to London. She wondered what he liked to do there and if he enjoyed going to art exhibitions, for instance. He suddenly drew back. No, he said, he never went to those places, asking scornfully what she thought the point of suchvisits would be. He went to London, he explained, to meet his friends, and in answer to another question added that while of course some of them were artists, others of them weren’t. Some of them were men and some were women, but that was of no significance as they just usually liked to talk. Asked what they talked about, Mr. Hummer appeared to think hard for a minute. Everyday things, he began; the weather; other people; food. ... Suddenly his face brightened wonderfully. Leaning forward, he asked her if she liked food, continuing, before she had had time to reply, that what he liked was fish, and best of all, octopus. He could give her a marvelous recipe for octopus soup, he added. He was about to ask if she knew the best place in London to buy fresh octopus when she interrupted him.“Do you li ke being interviewed, Mr. Hummer?” she asked. He turned his head sharply towards her with his eyes glittering.“Do you?” he replied, and softly began to laugh and laugh to himself.(fame n. 名气,名誉outwardly adv. 外在地,表面地entertain v. 款待,招待scornfully adv. 轻蔑地,蔑视的) Ⅴ.Choose the correct answer according to the content.( 10 points,2 points for each ).46.
