For the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.It’s estimated that 300 million people in China are studying, or have studied English. That’s an impressive number and I can’t think of any oth er country in the world (1) one quarter of the population is so dedicated to (2) (learn) a second language. But some people are questioning whether this “craze” for studying English is worthwhile.Professor Zhang Shuhua of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences says that too much emphasis is placed on learning English and (3) it is a waste of education resources as well as a threat to the study of Chinese. He says that having English as a compulsory course in university “has distracted much of students’ attention (4) specialized subjects,” and that some students have been denied access to postgraduate education because they failed English. Others have admitted that studying so much English has made them (5) (poor) Chinese speakers.Both of these criticisms are legitimate, but they beg the question of why so many Chinese still want to learn English. English, they recognize, (6) (be) the lingua franca of the modern world. It is the language of business and has become the language of international relations and culture. When people from different countries get together, they frequently speak in English (7) try to translate their native languages. It seems that everyone everywhere can speak at least some English.For China to be part of that international conversation, it is necessary that some level of English proficiency (8) be achieved. But what, you may ask, about (9) who will never speak a word of English once they leave school? Well, for good or ill, they will still be surrounded by English. It is there in signs, in music, in movies and in the casual conversations they overhear of the increasing number of foreigners on the city streets. To know English is (10) (include) in the rest of the world, even if your world is limited to China.1.where2.learning 3 .that 4 .from 5.poorer6 .is 7. rather than 8.should 9.those 0.to be included解析1.考察定语从句，先行词是the world2.考察搭配，be dedicated to doing致力于做某事3.考察宾语从句，此处that不可省略4.考察介词，distract....from..... 分散....的注意力5.考察形容词比较级，poorer6.考察谓语动词，主语是English，因此填is。

They had arrived too late to plant crops, and they had not brought with them food 36 to last until spring.The 37 people, called Wampanoag, knew how to plant crops, fish, hunt, and gather foods. They taught the English these skills. Several times each year, the Wampanoag thanked their creator god, Kiehtan, for his bounty (慷慨), worshipping him in ceremonies that 38 songs, dances, prayers, and a considerable feast.The English had their own 39 . The most common was Harvest Home, usually 40 near the end of September. In this celebration, fruits and vegetables were offered to thank God and to pray for a bountiful crop. Some landowners held a feast at the time of Harvest Home, giving 41 to God and the workers for their hard work.At their first harvest time in America, the Pilgrims invited the Wampanoag to join them. Undoubtedly, the two cultures 42 their traditions. This 43 festival may not have been the “Firs t Thanksgiving,” however.

Cloze Test (15%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D．Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits thecontext.If U.S. software companies don’t pay more attention to 44 , they could 45 their business good-bye. Both India and Brazil are developing a world-class software industry. Their weapon is quality and one of their jobs is to attract the top U.S. quality specialists whose 46 are not listened to in their country.Already, of the world’s 12 software houses that have earned the highest rating in the world, seven are in India. That is largely 47 they have used new methodologies rejected by American software specialists. For example, for decades, quality specialists, W. Edwards Deming and J.M. Juran had urged U.S. software companies to 48 their attitudes to quality. But their quality call mainly fell on deaf ears in the U.S. --- but not in Japan. By the 1970s and 1980s, Japan was grabbing market 49 with better, cheaper products. They used Deming’s and Juran’s ideas to 50 the cost of good quality to as 51 as 5% of total production 52 . In U.S. factories, the cost of quality then was 10 times as high: 50%. In software, it still is.Watts S. Humphrey spent 27 years at IBM 53 up software production and then quality assurance. But his advice was seldom paid attention to. He 54 from IBM in 1986. In 1987, he worked out a system for assessing (评价) and improving software quality. It has proved its 55 time and again. For example, in 1990 the cost of quality at Raytheon electronics Systems was almost 60% of total software production costs. It fell to 15% in 1996 and has since 56 dropped to below 10%.Like Deming and Juran, Humphrey seems to be winning more praises overseas than 57 . The Indian government and several companies have just founded the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute at the Software Technology Park in Chennai, India.Let’s hope that U.S. lead 58 software will not be eaten up by its quality problems.44.

Reading Comprehension (15%)Section ADirections: Read the following passages and then choose the best answers accordingto the passages.(A)Parents, our first teachers, play a highly significant role in our lives. However, doesn't it seem that many of us come to have conflicts with them when we start high school? We're less likely to listen to them and take their suggestions — we even rebel (反抗) against them.Why? It may be the so-called "generation gap". A generation gap appears whenwe begin to feel our parents are ignoring us, don't understand us, and we feel we canno longer share our feelings with them.The key reason is our desire for independence. In senior high school, we start to want to take responsibility for our own lives and make our own decisions. But parents resist this. They still want to control us and try to force us to do things they think we should do. Debate and discussion often come to nothing. Gradually, we talk with them less, and keep our feelings locked up inside.Zhang Xiaoyun, 16, of Ningbo, Zhejiang, has talked less and less with her mother since she started senior high school. "She believes studies should be my priority (首要事情), not my inner world," Zhang said. "Each day, she asks me the same old questions like, 'How was your last exam? or 'Have you made any progress in physics?" To Zhang, these questions are annoying and so she always tries to ignore them and answers indifferently. "Sometimes, when I get upset, I quarrel with her. After, she comes to apologize and comfort me. But I know, she doesn't completely understand me," Zhang said. Now, a home that was once full of laughter has falleninto gloom (忧郁) and silence.The generation gap can be harmful. Because of the lack of communication, our parents no longer know what we are thinking about. There are quarrels, even over trivial (琐碎的) things. When that happens, we may not be able to concentrate on our studies. Some of us even become afraid to go home after school — a very serious situation for the whole family.59. Which of the following is not included in article?A．The causes of generation gap. B．The effects of generation gap.C．One example of generation gap. D．Ways of narrowing generation gap.60. Which of the following word has the closet meaning to the underlined word"indifferently"?A．similarly B．uninterestedly C．attentively D．seriously 61. In the view of the author, .A．parents should allow their children more freedomB．parents and children should not stay togetherC．the younger generation should value the older generationD．academic (学业的) records are more important than one's inner world(B)Monday: Here I am, in the middle of nowhere. This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start. It's raining and the tent leaks (帐篷渗漏). The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still can't understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into this? When we get home — if we ever get home — he's going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree (狂购) at the mall!Tuesday: Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We're camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn't see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily.Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far theforest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section that Carol said looked "fishy". She had a pack rod (竿), which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch, so we put them back in the stream.Friday: I can't believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful. We're already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river. It's hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins (静脉).62. The writer went on this camping trip because .A．she enjoyed camping B．she wanted to go fishingC．she was influenced by her brother D．she was tired of staying home63. The whole morning of Tuesday, the writer .A．hiked along the lake B．dried out her belongingsC．climbed the mountain D．caught the fish for dinner64. It can be inferred that Carol had a pack rod with her because .A．she could not afford to buy a regular fishing poleB．she needed it to get their main source of foodC．she thought the writer of the journal (日志) might need itD．she expected to go fishing while they were hiking(C)Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict (迷),” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled (起皱褶).”Today David wears casual clothes --- khaki pants and sports shirt --- to the office. He hardly ever wears necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “an d I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress- down Friday” or “casua l Friday.” “Wha t started out as an extra one-day-a-weekbenefit for employees has really become an everyday thing,” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “s o it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative (保守的) dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale (士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suit s are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “Fo r the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”65. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because .A．he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB．he couldn’t stand a clean appearanceC．he wanted his cl othes to look neat all the timeD．he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes66. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .A．they make him f eel at ease when workingB．he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC．he looks handsome in casual clothesD．he no longer works for any company67. According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?A．Many employee s don’t like a conservative dress code.B．Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.C．A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.D．All the employers in the U.S are for casual office wear.68. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentionedexcept .A．saving employees’ money B．making emp loyees more attractive C．improving employees’ motivation D．making employees happier。

上海市复兴高级中学2018学年第一学期期中考试高一年级英语试卷第I卷I. Listening ComprehensionII. Grammar and VocabularySection AWe’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people __21__ are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What’s the problem? It’s possible __22__ we all have compromised(受损的) conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation __23__ it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an important social practice that results __24__ big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he __25__ (remark). “The key to successful small talk is learning how __26__ (connect) with others, not just communicate with them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group __27__ (ask) to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter, the other, to speak only __28__ necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband.” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的)members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel __29__ significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes __30__ (develop) such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.Section BTwo years ago, when Jordie Rowland came into the barbershop the first time, it was a “disaster”, __31__ Lisa Ann McKenzie recalls. The little boy struggled with his parents to run outside the moment he got in the shop. McKenzie ended up walking around the barbershop with Jordie that day, even __32__ on the floor with him. She finally got in a few quick cuts, but stopped when she saw that Jordie was very upset.The 10-year-old has autism(自闭症). Even a simple haircut can be painful and __33__ for some autistic children, Jordie was no different.McKenzie felt that she’d failed, but it also made her want to do better, “I wanted to learn more about autism so I could __34__ with him and take away his fear,” says the barber.After the first unsuccessful haircut, McKenzie suggested to Jordie’s parents that they bring him back every two weeks at __35__ time. She would cut just a little bit each time, often at no __36__, and the boy would run around the shop as always. That went on for a few months. McKenzie even went to Jordie’s house to give it a try. No luck.One day, the __37__ of the barbershop got mad at McKenzie for allowing a customer to come in after business hours. Frustrated, she left that job. Soon after, she opened her own shop.Every two weeks, Jordie would come by McKenzie’s shop after it was closed. This __38__ about eight months.Then, a few weeks later, they had a breakthrough, McKenzie sang “The Wheels on the Bus” to Jordie. To her surprise, the boy looked at her as if mesmerized(着迷的). Then McKenzie gave him a full haircut for the first time. The moment McKenzie finished her job, she and Jordie’s parents all realized their painfully slow, two-year __39__ had paid off.By the time Jordie’s haircut was a success, he was far from her only autistic customer. Word had gotten around town that McKenzie was pretty good with special needs kids. She started cutting the hair of many other “special kids.” She also plans to hold a monthly Sunday set aside only for these beautiful, __40__ children.III. Reading ComprehensionSection AHundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are universal. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really __41__ facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal __42__ and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s deceptions(骗术) and on many occasions, to be skilled at deceiving in order to get the truth.Is there really much truth behind this science of __43__ human emotions through involuntary(无意识的) expressions? Paul Ekman, a renowned psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific adviser and keeps a blog, where he explains the science behind each episode of the series. The following are some __44__ from his blog.Hand-to-face __45__ indicates a lie. (X)Each micro-expression is unique to __46__ specific emotions because they are involuntary and the person is often __47__ of doing it. But it doesn’t __48__ mean that is lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be __49__ information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues __50__ the simple hand-to-face gesture.A liar refuses eve contact. (X)People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are __51__ a story or excuse. Oblique(倾斜的) eyebrows are a very __52__ sign of sadness. __53__ people can make this movement voluntarily, so it is actually never faked.Guilty knowledge technique is effective. (√)Policemen often use the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n) __54__. This is often used in polygraph(测谎) exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to show a physiologist __55__ when the actual weapon is mentioned.41. A. realize B. recognize C. understand D. remind42. A. appearances B. postures C. communication D. gestures43. A. speaking B. recognizing C. indicating D. noticing44. A. explanations B. concentration C. impression D. expressions45. A. move B. action C. performance D. gesture46. A. signaling B. sighing C. signing D. maintaining47.

Very few C. A few D. Only few54. A. reaction B. hesitation C. impression D. application55. A. stare B. remark C. response D. reminderSection B(A)Myth: If you cut your hair, it will grow long faster.Truth: That’s not true. “Your hair isn’t like a lawn or a rosebush, where cutting can stimulate fresh growth,” says Phillip Kingsley. The length of your hair is genetically determined. When it reaches a certain length, it stops growing. When you clear up the dead split ends. This make your hair look healthier, but not necessarily longer.Myth: If you skip meals, you lose weight fast.Truth: There’s no truth in this advice. Not only will you not lose weight by starving yourself, but according to Carol Ann Rinzler, this may actually cause you to gain weight. Rinzler reasons that missing a meal causes your metabolism(新陈代谢) to slow down so that you burn food more slowly. This only makes you feel hungrier and by the time you finally do reach the table you will probably eat more food. Strange as it may seem, studies show that eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day is a more healthy way to lose pounds.Myth: If you swallow gum，it will stay inside your stomach for seven years.Truth: Actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit---not seven years, says Nei Izenberg, M. D., editor of Kids Health organization. But because gum is made of the same thing as rubber, it cannot be fully digested in your stomach--- so if you gum up the works on a regular basis, you might find yourself in a sticky situation.Myth: The best way to stop a nosebleed is to lift your head back.Truth: Now that’s bad advice. Bloody noses are caused by broken blood vessels, so while lifting your head back might stop the fluid from rushing out of your nose, it won’t stop the bleeding; you’ll just end up swallowing lots of blood. Your best bet “Rest quietly. Don’t poke or pick, and the blood will naturally clot (凝结) within a minute or two,” suggests Dr. Izenberg.56.The length of your hair is determined by ________.A. cutting it oftenB. your geneC. the food you eatD. clearing up the dead split ends57.According to Carol Ann Rinzler, skipping meals will _________.A. help you lose weight fast.B. help you lose weight slowlyC. cause you to become fatterD. make you burn food more quickly58.What does the phrase “best bet” mean?A. A large sum of money.B. An impossible action.C. High expectation.D. A wise solution.59.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Gum cannot be fully digested in the stomach.B. Gum can stay inside your stomach for seven years if you swallow it.C. Gum can leave your stomach after you swallow it a few days later.D. If you often swallow gum, you might find yourself in a sticky situation.(B)The Wind and the Leaves“Come, little leaves,” said the wind one day,“Come over the meadows with me and play.Put on your dress of red and gold;For summer is gone, and the days grow cold.”Soon as the leaves heard the wind’s loud call,Down they came fluttering, one and all,O’er the brown field then they danced and flewSinging the soft little songs they knew.Dancing and whirling, the little leaves went,Winter had called them, and they were content.Soon, fast asleep on their earthy beds,The snow laid a coverlet over their heads.--George Cooper60.What does the poet mean by “Singing the soft little songs they knew”?A. They echoed the call of the wind.B. They celebrated the arrival of fall.C. They were being blown about everywhere.D. They were making a rustling sound as they dropped from the trees in the wind.61.What kind of literary device(文学修辞) does the poet use?A. Metaphor 暗喻B. Alliteration 押头韵C. Personification 拟人D. Simile 明喻62.What’s the mood of the poem?A. Joyful.B. Realistic.C. Sorrowful.D. Sad.(C)We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment- and our wallets - as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life - from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout(读数) for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002，before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices - We continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption(消耗) and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.So what’s the solution? The team’ s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tabletfor word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.63.What does the author think of new devices?A. They are environment-friendly.B. They are no better than the old.C. They cost more to use at home.D. They go out of style quickly.64.Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research?A. To reduce the cost of minerals.B. To test the life cycle of a product.C. To update consumers on new technology.D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.65.Which of the following uses the least energy?A. The box-set TV.B. The tablet.C. The LCD TV.D. The desktop computer.66.What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?A. Stop using them.B. Take them apart.C. Upgrade them.D. Recycle them.Section CDirections：Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. And adults usually have different motivators（动力）.B. This means that they reflect on the language they learn.C. And 40% stated they could not reach their international potential（潜力）because of language barriers.D. And 66% of Europeans know at least one other language, compared to just 20% of Americans.E. For example, the AAAS notes that learning a second language improves cognitive ability, and assists inlearning other subjects.F. As a result, the vast majority（89%）of American adults who know a foreign language say they learned it intheir childhood home.While the U.S. is home to over 350 different languages, according to a report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences（AAAS），most Americans are monolingual. And this limitation can negatively impact individuals,U.S. companies, and even the country as a whole.Other findings: up to 30% of U.S. companies have stated that they’ve missed business opportunities in foreign countries because they didn’t have in-house staff who spoke the dominant languages of those countries. ___67___ However, one of the most striking and alarming examples of the importance of learning a foreign language happened at the appearance of the 2004 avian flu epidemic. According to the AAAS, scientists in the U.S. and other English-speaking countries did not originally understand the magnitude（重要性）of avian flu because they could not read the original research—which was written by Chinese researchers.In fact, the report notes that just 200,000 U.S. students are studying Chinese, compared to 300 to 400 million Chinese students who are studying English. ___68___Many European countries have national requirements that students must learn at least one foreign language by the age of 9, according to data from the Pew Research Center. In the U.S., school districts are typically allowed to set their own policies, ___69___But children and adults learn foreign languages differently. Rosemary G. Feal, executive director of the Modern Language Association, tells ThoughtCo,“Children generally learn languages through games, songs, and repetition, and in an immersive environment, they often produce speech spontaneously（自发地）.”However, Feal explains that with adults, studying the formal structures of the language is usually helpful. They also learn in a more conscious way. Adults have strong metalinguistic awareness, which children don’t have. ___70___“For example‘Is this the best word to express what I want to say’”or‘Did I use the correct grammar structure?’”Feal explains.第Ⅱ卷Ⅰ.

It just 49 that speaking and listening helps the children to have discussions.”The move had mixed review（评价不一）, with some parents 50 the signs, saying "it's about time" and others showing disapproval.Danielle P arker, a parent, said: “I think they need to be up because everyone picks their kids up on their phones. I’d like to think they’d make a 51 .”However, some people, when 52 , were more reluctant about the signs, with one parent, whose child is in the foundation stage, calling the move“a bit silly”.Last year, research warned that parents’ obsession in smartphones has left some neglected children starting primary school 53 to have conversations.Almost a third of children starting school are not ready for the classroom, with many 54 social skills, having speech problems or not toilet trained, the survey of senior 55 school staff found.Ⅲ.

As we walked towards the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a messy beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench and opened the door for us. Regardless of his 56 , he greeted us in a 57 way.Once inside, my daughters whispered, “Mom, he58 .” After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look 59 the dirt. We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many ignored him. Seeing this rudeness truly upset me. The day I became a mother, I had decided to set a good example for my children. Yet sometimes when things didn’t go right, being a good example was 60 . When our meal arrived, it suddenly 61 to me that I had left the car-sick pills in the truck. With the windiest trip ahead, the kids needed them, so I62 myself from the meal and went to get them.Just then, the “doorman” was opening the door for a couple. They rushed past him without even acknowledging his 63 . Letting them in first, I said a loud “thank you” to him as I went out.When I returned, we talked a bit. He said he was not allowed inside 64 he purchased food.I went back and told my family his story. Then I asked our waitress to add one soup and sandwich. The kids looked 65 as we had already eaten, but when I said the order was for the “doorman”, they smiled. When it was time to 66 our trip, I noticed the “doorman” enjoying his meal. Upon seeing me, he stood up and thanked me heartily. He then 67 his hand for a handshake and I gratefully accepted. I suddenly noticed the tears in his eyes---tears of 68 .

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Whether the hair is long or short, it must be regularly brushed and regularly washed. For greasy hair, especially if the owner lives in a town, it may be necessary to wash the head every two or three days. Those with dry hair can usually go a little longer, but this is a matter for the individual to decide.If a woman is not able to go to hairdressers very often, it is important that she chooses a style she can easily manage forherself, and this always means that the first cut must be very standard.One thing should be remembered though, that is , whatever you apply to the head can have some effect upon the skin, therefore, anything strong should be used with care, or you may use milder products. As for style, this must be studied according to what is the latest fashion and also suit the individual at different times of his or her life.Young people who have spots of skin troubles on their faces, should take particular care to ensure that the hair is both clean and does not come into contact with the affected piece of skin. Hair is very difficult to keep completely clean, therefore, anyone running their hands through their hair and afterwards touching their face, or letting their fall over their faces, might spread infection（传染）from one place to another. Good hair does a lot to the effect of a face, so if you want to look charming, please start with your hair.71.According to the text, the most basic thing to do in hair care is .A. to go to hairdressers very oftenB. to choose better milder products for the hairC. to wash and brush the hair regularlyD. to keep the hair away from the skin trouble72.The thing you wash your hair with must be .A. used with careB. very strongC. extremely mildD. fashionable73.To prevent the hair from infecting t he skin, we’d better .A. keep the hair completely cleanB. wash the hair very oftenC. have hair cut four times a yearD. avoid combing the hair with our hands74.“Those with dry hair can usually go a little longer” means if your hair is dry. .A. you can walk longerB. your hair can grow longerC. you don’t have to wash it as oftenD. you can grow taller（B）What Hillary Clinton’s Body Language Said About Her Email Controversy.Recently, Hillary Clinton became the first female candidate to be nominated（提名）for President of the United States by a major political party. Just a little more than one year ago, however, she faced repeated questions about her use of a private email server for official communicationswhile serving as U.S. Secretary of State（国务卿）.Christopher Hadnagy, a body language expert and author ofUnmasking the Social Engineer, said that Clinton’s discomfortwith the topic was clear, especially at a 20-minute pressconference（新闻发布会）held at the United Nations building inNew York City in March 2019. As she faced reporters, Clinton repeatedly insisted she did nothing wrong. But according to Hadnagy, underneath that was a certain level of nervousness indicated by her nonverbal actions.“I don’t know if we have enough to say she is lying or telling the truth, but enough to show a high level of discomfort,”said Hadnagy. Here is his in-depth analysis of the press conference.At the beginning of the press conference, Clinton was asked if it was a“mistake”for her to conduct her government work on a private email. She licked her lips, which indicated“uncertainty.”As the reporter’s questioning continued, Clinton shrugged her shoulders and said she would direct her lawyer to“provide anything that could be connectingto work.”The shrug also made it seem like she was not sure aboutthat claim.While stating whether the email controversy would affectthe timeline of her 2019 campaign, Clinton had a nervous laugh.Then she folded her hands and hid her thumbs. All the actions were a display of“a low level of confidence.”As Clinton faced an aggressive question from another reporter who insisted she violated State Department（国务院）guidelines, she fidgeted（摆弄）with her notes. This was an action“caused by nervousness, discomfort or a need to relax”, according to his book.75.According to the article, all the following statements are true EXCEPT that .A.Hillary Clinton is the first female nominee for President of the United StatesB.Clinton’s body language at the press conference showed her discomfortC.some aggressive reporters attended the press conferenceD.Hadnagy was sure Clinton was telling lies at the press conference76.According to Hadnagy’s analysis of the press conference, Hil lary Clinton seemed t o beher email controversy.A. guilty inB. dissatisfied withC. concerned aboutD. indifferent to77.What can we infer from the passage?A.Hillary Clinton enjoyed the press conference on her ongoing email controversy.B.Hillary Clinton will lose the election to be the first female president of the USA.C.Hadnagy analyzed Clinton’s uneasiness through her nonverbal actions in his book.D.Hillary Clinton lied about having sent classified emails from her private server.78.The article was probably published in .A. a politics textbookB. a business magazineC. a psychology journal（杂志）D. a financial newspaper（C）The Power of the Power PoseDo you want to feel more powerful and seem more powerful to others? Try standing like Wonder Woman: hands on hips, feet wide apart, shoulders back, and staring confidently forward.It’s not a joke. The Wonder Woman power pose is now being considered a shortcut（捷径）for any woman feeling less confident. It had its first major boost in a TED talk byHarvard professor Amy Cuddy in 2019, who talked in detail about how standing likethe Amazonion princess-warrior and pretending you’re armed with your own lasso（套索）can tell others that you’re serious and powerful. In her study, standing inthat“power pose”helped people get hired for jobs, simply because they looked confident.Ms. Cuddy has found that even just faking a power pose results in a corresponding（相应的）physical boost. She also noted that the Wonder Womanpose is a dominant stance that both supplies inner power to you and conveys power to others.How does it work? It’s all about taking up as much space as possible, looking big and visible. Being the powerful person in a situation means extending yourself out as much as you can, even if you’re only an ordinary Joe or Jane. Other power poses include rolling your shoulders back and crossing your arms, planting your hand on the table and leaning forward and squinting（眯着眼看）slightly.Perhaps more interesting, however, is the effect that the power pose has on the people doing it. Posture isn’t just a way to communicate to an audience; it’s actually a boost to your own self- confidence. In Ms. Cuddy’s talk, she also mentioned an important chain of events: that our bodies can change our minds, our minds can change our behavior and our behavior can change the outcome of a situation.It’s these non-verbal expressions of dominance and power that influence how we feel about ourselves. So, next time you have to perform under pressure---whether it’s gi ving a presentation or attending a difficult meeting---find somewhere private and stand like Wonder Woman for two minutes. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes.79.In Ms. Cuddy’s study, the people taking the power pose get hired for jobs because .A.they leave a good impression on the employeesB.they look more powerful and confidentC.they have better resumes than other candidatesD.they have more work experience80.According to this article, the following poses can help you feel more confident except .A.roll your shoulders back and cross your armsB.plant your hands on the table and lean forwardC.sit down with hands on your kneesD.put your hands on your hips with feet wide apart81.According to this article, which one of the statements is true?A.The power pose gives people a mental boost.B.Posture is only a way to communicate with other people.C.According to Ms. Cuddy, our behavior can change our minds and thus change the result ofan event.D.I n a situation where you feel stressed, taking up as much space as possible helps you seemmore confident.Section C 8%Directions：Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.It’l l make learn to enjoy what you have, fix what’s broken, and shop for a bargain.B.Spending more is likely to stimulate your motivation for more earning.C.It gives you options and frees you from relying on someone else’s priorities.D.Living with less is the most efficient way to control your financial future.E.Actually, your parents have already given you too much.F.What you want is respect and admiration from other people.My wife and I recently welcomed a child into the world. His only interest right now is keeping us awake 24/7. But one day, he’ll need to learn something about finance. When he does, here are some suggestions.1.You might think you want an expensive car, a fancy watch, and a huge house. But you don’t82 you think having expensive stuff will bring it. It almost never does---especially from the people you want to respect and admire you.2.I hope you’re poor at some point. Not struggling, and not unhappy, of course. But there’s no way to learn the value of money without feeling the power of its scarcity（缺乏）. It teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable. 83 These are essential survival skills.3.Don’t stay in a job you hate because you made a career choice at 18. Almost no one knows what he or she wants to do at that age. Many peopl e don’t know what they want until they’re twice that age.（These are the signs you’re in the wrong career.）4.The best thing money buys is to control over your time. 84 One day you’ll realize that this freedom is one of the things that makes you truly happy.5.Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend. I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck, always on the edge of ruin. I know another person who never earned more than $50,000 and saved a fortune. The difference is entirely due to their spending. 856.Don’t listen to me if you disagree with what I’ve written. The world you grow up in will have different values and opportunities than the one I did. More important, you’ll learn best when you disagree with someone and then are forced to learn it yourself.（On the other hand, always listen to your mother.）Ⅴ.

This reaction isn’t necessarily enough to help someone who has already taken a bite of a bad apple, but it may protect the people they’re with. When our early human ancestors hunted for food, a sudden twisted face may have ______40______ that whatever that person put in their mouth wasn’t good to eat.The pucker response to ______41______ flavors helped early humans avoid getting sick,but it doesn’t stop us from eating this kind of food today.

But Thailand, Indonesia and Japan also do so.This strange quirk (奇事) puzzles the rest of the world; however, there is a perfectlygood reason . Up to the late 1700’s , everybody travelled on the left side of the road because it’s the most sensible option for feudal (封建的), violent societies with mostly right-handed people. Soldiers with their swords under their right arm naturally passed on each other’s right, and if you passed a stranger on the road, you walked on the left to ensure that your protective sword arm was between yourself and him.Revolutionary France, however, overturned this practice as part of its sweeping social rethink. A change was carried out all over continental Europe by Napoleon. It changed under Napoleon because he was left-handed. His armies had to march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any opponent. From then on, any part of colonized by the French travelled on the right.After the American Revolutionary War (1775—1783), the US became independent and decided to make traffic drive on the right in order to cast off all remaining links with its British colonial past. As America became the center of the car industry, if you wanted a good reliable vehicle, you bought American right-hand-drive cars. From then on, many countries changed out of necessity.Today, the EU would like Britain to fall into line with the rest of Europe, but this is no longer possible. It would cost billions of pounds to change everything round. The last European country to change driving on the right was Sweden in 1967. While everyone was getting used to the new system, they paid more attention and took more care, resulting in a reduction of the number of road accidents.46．Why did people travel on the left before the late 18th century ?A．They were required to do so.B．They were mostly left-handed.C．It was easier to cross the street.D．They could feel safer from attacks.47．What was Napoleon’s attitude to walking on the left?A．Support.B．Disapproval.C．Doubt.D．Sympathy. 48．For Americans, driving on the right was a way to show ________.A．the connection with France was brokenB．the US was no longer ruled by the UKC．the American Revolution War had endedD．America was the center of the car industry49．What is the main cause of the UK failing to adopt the new system?A．Its high costs to change.B．Its increasing traffic accidents.C．Its influence on colonies.D．Its fast-developing car industry.University Room RegulationsApproved and Prohibited ItemsThe following items are approved for use in residential rooms: electric blankets, hair dryers, personal computers, radios, televisions and DVD players.

The sponsors of the measure explained that it is cruel to keep a fish in such a bowl because the curved sides give the fish a distorted view of reality. Aside from the measure’s significance to the poor goldfish, the story raises an interesting philosophical question: How do we know that the reality we perceive is true?Physicists are finding themselves in a similar trouble to the goldfish’s. For decades they have been pursuing an ultimate theory of everything—one complete and consistent set of fundamental laws of nature that explain every aspect of reality. It now appears that this pursuit may generate not a single theory but a family of interconnected theories, each describing its own version of reality, as if it viewed the universe through its own fishbowl.This concept may be difficult for many people to accept. Most people believe that there is an objective reality out there and that our senses and our science directly convey (传达) information about the material world. In philosophy, that belief is called realism.In physics, realism is becoming difficult to defend. Instead, the idea of alternative realities is a mainstay of today’s popular culture. For example, in the science-fiction film The Matrix the human race is unknowingly living in a simulated (模拟的) virtual reality created by intelligent computers. How do we know we are not just computer-generated characters living in a Matrix-like world? If—like us—the beings in the simulated world could not observe their universe from the outside, they would have no reason to doubt their own pictures of reality.Similarly, the goldfish’s view is not the same as ours from outside their curved bowl. For instance, because light bends as it travels from air to water, a freely moving object that we would observe to move in a straight line would be observed by the goldfish to move along a curved path. The goldfish could form scientific laws from their frame (框架) of reference that would always hold true and that would enable them to make predictions about the future motion of objects outside the bowl. If the goldfish formed such a theory, we would have to admit the goldfish’s view as a reasonable picture of reality.The goldfish example shows that the same physical situation can be modeled in different ways, each employing different fundamental elements and concepts. It might be that to describe the universe we have to employ different theories in different situations. It is not the physicist’s traditional expectation for a theory of nature, nor does it correspond to our everyday idea of reality. But it might be the way of the universe.53．What does the underlined word “distorted” in Paragraph most probably mean? A．Original.B．Accurate.C．Distant.D．False. 54．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A．The need for a complete theory.B．The lasting conflict in physics. C．The existence of the material world.D．The conventional insight of reality. 55．What can we learn from the passage?A．Nature’s mysteries are best left undiscovered.B．An external world is independent of the observers.C．People’s theories are influenced by their viewpoints.D．It is essential to figure out which picture of reality is better.56．According to the passage, the author may agree that ________.A．various interpretations of the universe are welcomedB．physicists have a favorite candidate for the final theoryC．multiple realities can be pieced together to show the real worldD．there is still possibility to unify different theories into a single one六、六选四High-quality customer service is preached (宣扬) by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store ____57____. Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their regular customers decide to frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by Verde group and Wharton school.“Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the Verde group, “the store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four other, and will no longer visit the specific store. For every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews. ____58____.According to the research, shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems, ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers. The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered (塞满了的) shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long-check-out lines, and rude salespeople.During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting (业余兼职的) local police to work as parking attendants. Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces. ____59____. It also avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. ____60____. “Retailers who’re responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren’t so friendly.” said Professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.A．Most customers won’t bother to complain even if they have had unhappy experiences. B．Most importantly, salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers. C．However, few customers believe the parking service will be improved.D．This guidance eliminated the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly. E．Instead, they will alert their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers-and anyone who will listen.F．The resulting “snowball effect” can be disastrous to retailers.七、汉译英（单词/短语）汉译英61．假设，假定(v)62．难以置信的(adj)63．评价，评估(v)64．经济实惠的(adj)65．虚构小说(n)66．一时冲动(n)67．繁荣(v)68．随机的(adj)69．摘录；节选(n)70．致力于(v)八、选用适当的单词或短语补全句子71．The trees formed such a dense __________ that all beneath was a deep carpet of pineneedles.72．Government should encourage business to invest more on __________ energies. 73．The helmets are designed to withstand impacts __________ to a fall from a bicycle. 74．They undertook a multimillion-dollar __________ that included a go-kart track, a bar and a climbing wall.75．The company chose to __________ and more fully utilize the remaining worker. 76．Some of the victims are complaining loudly about the uneven __________ of emergency aid.77．They are hoping to retrace the __________ voyage of Christopher Columbus.78．We should minimize the use of private cars, which __________ a large amount of greenhouse gases.79．If we want students to become effective in multicultural settings, one thing is clear: there is no __________ for practice.80．If you exceed your credit limit, we have the right to __________ your account.九、汉译英（整句）81．科学家认为他们在对抗癌症的研究中开始有所突破。

It just 49 that speaking and listening helps the children to have discussions.”The move had mixed review（评价不一）, with some parents 50the signs, saying "it's about time" and others showing disapproval.Danielle Parker, a parent, said: “I think they need to be up because everyone picks their kids up on their phones.

As we walked towards the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a messy beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench and opened the door for us. Regardless of his 56 , he greeted us in a 57 way.Once inside, my daughters whispered, “Mom, he58 .” Afterwe ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look 59 the dirt. We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many ignored him. Seeing this rudeness truly upset me. The day I became a mother, I had decided to set a good example for my children. Yet sometimes when things didn’t go right, being a good example was 60 . When our meal arrived, it suddenly 61 to me that I had left thecar-sick pills in the truck.

He said he was not allowed inside 64 he purchased food. I went back and told my family his story. Then I asked our waitress to add one soup and sandwich. The kids looked 65 as we had already eaten, but when Isaid the order was for the “doorman”, they smiled. When it wastime to 66 our trip, I noticed the “doorman” enjoyinghis meal.

For greasy hair, especially if the owner lives in a town, it may be necessary to wash the head every two or three days. Those with dry hair can usually go a little longer, but this is a matter for the individual to decide.If a woman is not able to go to hairdressers very often, it is important that she chooses a style she can easily manage for herself, and this always means that the first cut must be very standard.One thing should be remembered though, that is , whatever you apply to the head can have some effect upon the skin, therefore, anything strong should be used with care, or you mayuse milder products. As for style, this must be studied according to what is the latest fashion and also suit the individual at different times of his or her life.Young people who have spots of skin troubles on their faces, should take particular care to ensure that the hair is both clean and does not come into contact with the affected piece of skin. Hair is very difficult to keep completely clean, therefore, anyone running their hands through their hair and afterwards touching their face, or letting their fall over their faces, might spread infection（传染）from one place to another. Good hair does a lot to the effect of a face, so if you want to look charming, please start with your hair.71.According to thetext, the most basic thing to do in hair care is .A. to go to hairdressers very oftenB. to choose better milderproducts for the hairC. to wash and brush the hair regularlyD. to keep the hairaway from the skin trouble72.The thing you wash your hairwith must be .A. used with careB. very strongC. extremely mildD. fashionable73.To prevent the hair from infecting the skin, we’d better .A. keep the hair completely cleanB. wash the hair very oftenC. have hair cut four times a yearD.avoid combing the hair with our hands 74.“Those withdry hair can usually go a little longer” means if yourhair is dry. .A. you can walk longerB. your hair can grow longerC. you don’t have to wash it as oftenD. you can grow taller（B）What Hillary Clinton’s Body Language Said About Her EmailControversy.Recently, Hillary Clinton became the first female candidate to be nominated（提名）for President of the United States by a major political party. Just a little more than one year ago, however, she faced repeated questions about her use of a private email server for official communicationswhile serving as . Secretary of State（国务卿）.Christopher Hadnagy, a body languageexpert and author of Unmasking the SocialEngineer, said that Clinton’s discomfortwith the topic was clear,especially at a 20-minute pressconference（新闻发布会）held at the UnitedNations building in New York City in March2015. As she faced reporters, Clinton repeatedly insisted she did nothing wrong. But according to Hadnagy, underneath that was a certain level of nervousnessindicated by her nonverbal actions.“I don’t know if we have enough to say she is lying or telling the truth, but enough to show a high level of discomfort,”said Hadnagy. Here is his in-depth analysis of the press conference.At the beginning of the press conference, Clinton was asked if it was a“mistake”for her to conduct her government work ona private email. She licked her lips, whichindicated“uncertainty.”As the reporter’s questioning continued, Clinton shrugged her shoulders and said she would direct her lawyer to“provide anything that could be connectingto work.”The shrug also made it seem likeshe was not sure about that claim.While stating whether the emailcontroversy would affect the timeline ofher 2016 campaign, Clinton had a nervouslaugh.Then she folded her hands and hid her thumbs. All the actions were a display of“a low level of confidence.”As Clinton faced an aggressive question from another reporter who insisted she violated State Department（国务院）guidelines, she fidgeted（摆弄）with her notes. This was an action“caused by nervousness, discomfort or a need to relax”, according to his book.75.Accordingto the article, all the following statements are true EXCEPT that .A.Hillary Clinton is the first female nominee for President ofthe United StatesB.Clinton’s body language at the press conference showed herdiscomfortC.some aggressive reporters attended the press conferenceD.Hadnagy was sure Clinton was telling lies at the pressconference76.According to Hadnagy’s analysis of the press conference,Hillary Clinton seemed to beher email controversy.A. guilty inB. dissatisfied withC. concerned aboutD. indifferent to77.W hat can we infer from the passageA.Hillary Clinton enjoyed the press conference on her ongoingemail controversy.B.Hillary Clinton will lose the election to be the first femalepresident of the USA.C.Hadnagy analyzed Clinton’s uneasiness through her nonverbalactions in his book.D.Hillary Clinton lied about having sent classified emails fromher private server.78.T he article was probably published in .A. a politics textbookB. a business magazineC. a psychology journal（杂志）D. a financial newspaper（C）The Power of the Power PoseDo you want to feel more powerful and seem more powerful to others Try standing like Wonder Woman: hands on hips, feet wide apart, shoulders back, and staring confidently forward.It’s not a joke. The Wonder Woman power pose is now being considered a shortcut（捷径）for any woman feeling less confident. It had its first major boost in a TED talk by Harvard professor Amy Cuddy in 2012, who talked indetail about how standing like the Amazonion princess-warrior and pretending you’re armed with your ownlasso（套索）can tell others that you’re serious and powerful. In her study, standing in that“powerpose”helped people get hired for jobs, simply becausethey looked confident.Ms. Cuddy has found that even just faking a powerpose results in a corresponding（相应的）physical boost.She also noted that the Wonder Womanpose is a dominant stance that both supplies inner power to you and conveys power to others.How does it work It’s all about taking up as much space as possible, looking big and visible. Being the powerful person in a situation means extending yourself out as much as you can, even if you’re only an ordinary Joe or Jane. Other power poses include rolling your shoulders back and crossing your arms, planting your hand on the table and leaning forward and squinting （眯着眼看） slightly.Perhaps more interesting, however, is the effect that the power pose has on the people doing it. Posture isn’t just a way to communicate to an audience; it’s actually a boost to your own self- confidence. In Ms. Cuddy’s talk, she also mentioned an important chain of events: that our bodies can change our minds, our minds can change our behavior and our behavior can change the outcome of a situation.It’s these non-verbal expressions of dominance and power that influence how we feel about ourselves. So, next time you have to perform under pressure---whether it’s giving a presentation or attending a difficult meeting---find somewhere private and stand like W onder Woman for two minutes. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes.79.I n Ms. Cuddy’s study, the people taking the power pose gethired for jobs because .A.they leave a good impression on the employeesB.they look more powerful and confidentC.they have better resumes than other candidatesD.they have more work experience80.According to this article, the following poses can help youfeel more confident except .A.roll your shoulders back and cross your armsB.plant your hands on the table and lean forwardC.sit down with hands on your kneesD.put your hands on your hips with feet wide apart81.According to this article, which one of the statements istrueA.The power pose gives people a mental boost.B.Posture is only a way to communicate with other people.C.According to Ms. Cuddy, our behavior can change our mindsand thus change the result of an event.D.In a situation where you feel stressed, taking up as muchspace as possible helps you seem more confident.Section C 8%Directions：Read the passage carefully.

Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.It’ll make learn to enjoy what you have, fix what’s broken,and shop for a bargain.B.Spending more is likely to stimulate your motivation for moreearning.C.It gives you options and frees you from relying on someoneelse’s priorities.D.Living with less is the most efficient way to control yourfinancial future.E.Actually, your parents have already given you too much.F.What you want is respect and admiration from other people.My wife and I recently welcomed a child into the world. His only interest right now is keeping us awake 24/7. But one day, he’ll need to learn something about finance. When he does, here are some suggestions.1.You might think you want an expensive car, a fancy watch,and a huge house. But you don’t82 you think having expensive stuff will bring it. It almost never does---especially from the people you want to respect and admire you.2.I hope you’re poor at some point. Not struggling, and not unhappy, of course. But there’s no way to learn the valueof money without feeling the power of its scarcity（缺乏）. It teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable. 83 These are essential survival skills.3.D on’t stay in a job you hate because you made a career choice at 18. Almost no one knows what he or she wants to do atthat age. Many people don’t know what they want until they’re twice that age.（These ar e the signs you’re in the wrong career.）4.T he best thing money buys is to control over your time.84 One day you’ll realize that this freedom is one of the things that makes you truly happy.5.Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend. I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck, always on the edge of ruin. I know another person who never earned more than $50,000 and saveda fortune. The difference is entirely due to their spending. 856.D on’t listen to me if you disagree with what I’ve written. The world you grow up in will have different values and opportunities than the one I did. More important, you’ll learn best when you disagree with someone and then are forced to learnit yourself.（On the other hand, always listen to your mother.）Ⅴ.

It will probably remain one 26________ ________ ________ there are animals that give milk. The old word “milk” came from Sanskrit (梵文), one of the oldest languages 27________ (know) to man. A very old picture of milking animals, drawn five thousand years ago, has been found. People got their milk from their own animals. But in modem times new inventions made the milk industry 28________ big business. In 1851 Gall Borden found a way to take some of the water from milk. This made 29________ keep longer. Four years later, Louis Pasteur introduced a way 30________ (kill) the bacteria in milk. So in the same year a special milk bottle was made. This was followed by the invention of machines that 31________ fill bottles with milk. These discoveries meantbecome less popular than it has been. But remember how long milk has been an important food and think of the many ways in which it is useful. It seems safe to say 32________ milk industry will always be important.2.Every reader of this passage must spend the whole of his waking life 33________ (look) at things. Looking, like breathing, is natural; we do it 34________ noticing it. Looking is passive but seeing is active. Once you startothers have only looked at, and draw conclusions from 36________ they have seen, can add to man’s knowledge and help progress.Someone recently discovered a place 37________ metal had been worked continuously longer than anywhere else in England. He “saw” a wall in the Forest of Dean. Thousands of people must have looked at it without really seeing it, but this man noticed that among the usual stones of that place 38________ (be) bits and pieces of a different color; they also felt different to the hand. A 39________ (close) sight showed that these pieces had been left behind in the fires of ancient peoples who had melted rocks to get metals, looking around, he found more and more information, until the history of what men had done at the place over tens of centuries 40________ (know).3.A. dried B. forces C. world D. benefit E. provide F. freezingG. active H. outdoors I. preserving J. convenient K. technologyFood drying is one of the oldest methods of 41________ food. Since drying reduces the moisture in foods, making them lightweight and 42________ to store, it can be easily used in place of other food preservation techniques. In fact, one can even use drying along with other food preservation techniques such as 43________ or canning, which would make the process of food preservation even better.Drying food is simple, safe and easy to learn. The early American settlers practiced drying food using the natural 44________ of sun and wind, and today, the use of 45________ has revolutionized this method of preserving food. With modern food dehydrators (脱水剂), foods such as fruit leathers, fruit chips, 46________ nuts and seeds and meat jerky, can all be kept year-round at home.Being easy to store and carry and requiring no refrigeration makes dried foods ideal for domestic use as well as for use in the rough 47________.Moreover, dried foods are good sources of quick energy andmoisture. For instance, meat jerky, dried nuts and seeds are good sources of protein for a snack or a meal. The fruit leathers and chips 48________ plenty of quick energy. Dried vegetables, too, can be used to prepare wholesome casseroles (炖菜) and soups and the nutritional value can be enhanced by using the soaking water for cooking. Therefore, dried foods are an easy food option for busy executives, hungry backpackers and 49________ women and children, all of whom can 50________ from the ease of use and nutritional content of dried foods.4.Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular “design museums” that are opening today, however, are quite different. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall.People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales —it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding.In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new ideas. London’s Desig n Museum, for example, shows atypewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN ELEVEN WORDS.)78. According to the passage, design museums are places where ___________________ _________________________________________.79. What kinds of role do design museums play?80. In contrast to design museums, choices open to art museums are more strict and visitors often feel _________________________________ in most of them.81. Some new design museums have been opened lately with the purpose of _________ ___________________________________________.5.1. 你最好别把他们两个安排在相邻的位置上。

It just 49 that speaking and listening helps the children to have discussions.”The move had mixed review（评价不一）, with some parents 50the signs, saying "it's about time" and others showing disapproval.Danielle Parker, a parent, said: “I think they need to be up because everyone picks their kids up on their phones. I’d like to think they’d make a 51 .”However, some people, when 52 , were more reluctant about the signs, with one parent, whose child is in the foundation stage, calling the move“a bit silly”.Last year, research warned that parents’ obsession in smartphones has left some neglected children starting primary school 53 to have conversations.Almost a third of children starting school are not ready for the classroom, with many 54 social skills, having speech problems or not toilet trained, the survey of senior 55 school staff found.Ⅲ.

As we walked towards the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a messy beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench and opened the door for us. Regardless of his 56 , he greeted us in a 57 way.Once inside, my daughters whispered, “Mom, he58 .” Afterwe ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look 59 the dirt. We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many ignored him. Seeing this rudeness truly upset me. The day I became a mother, I had decided to set a good example for my children. Yet sometimes when things didn’t go right, being a good example was 60 . When our meal arrived, it suddenly 61 to me that I had left thecar-sick pills in the truck. With the windiest trip ahead, the kids needed them, so I62 myself from the meal and went to get them.Just then, the “doorman” was opening the door for a couple. They rushed past him without even acknowledging his 63 . Letting them in first, I said a loud “thank you” to him as I went out.When I returned, we talked a bit. He said he was not allowed inside 64 he purchased food. I went back and told my family his story. Then I asked our waitress to add one soup and sandwich. The kids looked 65 as we had already eaten, but when Isaid the order was for the “doorman”, they smiled. When it wastime to 66 our trip, I noticed the “doorman” enjoyinghis meal.

Each passage isfollowed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Whether the hair is long or short, it must be regularly brushed and regularly washed. For greasy hair, especially if the owner lives in a town, it may be necessary to wash the head every two or three days. Those with dry hair can usually go a little longer, but this is a matter for the individual to decide.If a woman is not able to go to hairdressers very often, it is important that she chooses a style she can easily manage for herself, and this always means that the first cut must be very standard.One thing should be remembered though, that is , whatever you apply to the head can have some effect upon the skin, therefore, anything strong should be used with care, or you mayuse milder products. As for style, this must be studied according to what is the latest fashion and also suit the individual at different times of his or her life.Young people who have spots of skin troubles on their faces, should take particular care to ensure that the hair is both clean and does not come into contact with the affected piece of skin. Hair is very difficult to keep completely clean, therefore, anyone running their hands through their hair and afterwards touching their face, or letting their fall over their faces, might spread infection（传染）from one place to another. Good hair does a lot to the effect of a face, so if you want to look charming, please start with your hair.71.According to thetext, the most basic thing to do in hair care is .A. to go to hairdressers very oftenB. to choose better milderproducts for the hairC. to wash and brush the hair regularlyD. to keep the hairaway from the skin trouble72.The thing you wash your hairwith must be .A. used with careB. very strongC. extremely mildD. fashionable73.To prevent the hair from infecting the skin, we’d better .A. keep the hair completely cleanB. wash the hair very oftenC. have hair cut four times a yearD.avoid combing the hair with our hands 74.“Those withdry hair can usually go a little longer” means if yourhair is dry. .A. you can walk longerB. your hair can grow longerC. you don’t have to wash it as oftenD. you can grow taller（B）What Hillary Clinton’s Body Language Said About Her EmailControversy.Recently, Hillary Clinton became the first female candidate to be nominated（提名）for President of the United States by a major political party. Just a little more than one year ago, however, she faced repeated questions about her use of a private email server for official communicationswhile serving as . Secretary of State（国务卿）.Christopher Hadnagy, a body languageexpert and author of Unmasking the SocialEngineer, said that Clinton’s discomfortwith the topic was clear,especially at a 20-minute pressconference（新闻发布会）held at the UnitedNations building in New York City in March2015. As she faced reporters, Clinton repeatedly insisted she did nothing wrong. But according to Hadnagy, underneath that was a certain level of nervousnessindicated by her nonverbal actions.“I don’t know if we have enough to say she is lying or telling the truth, but enough to show a high level of discomfort,”said Hadnagy. Here is his in-depth analysis of the press conference.At the beginning of the press conference, Clinton was asked if it was a“mistake”for her to conduct her government work ona private email. She licked her lips, whichindicated“uncertainty.”As the reporter’s questioning continued, Clinton shrugged her shoulders and said she would direct her lawyer to“provide anything that could be connectingto work.”The shrug also made it seem likeshe was not sure about that claim.While stating whether the emailcontroversy would affect the timeline ofher 2016 campaign, Clinton had a nervouslaugh.Then she folded her hands and hid her thumbs. All the actions were a display of“a low level of confidence.”As Clinton faced an aggressive question from another reporter who insisted she violated State Department（国务院）guidelines, she fidgeted（摆弄）with her notes. This was an action“caused by nervousness, discomfort or a need to relax”, according to his book.75.Accordingto the article, all the following statements are true EXCEPT that .A.Hillary Clinton is the first female nominee for President ofthe United StatesB.Clinton’s body language at the press conference showed herdiscomfortC.some aggressive reporters attended the press conferenceD.Hadnagy was sure Clinton was telling lies at the pressconference76.According to Hadnagy’s analysis of the press conference,Hillary Clinton seemed to beher email controversy.A. guilty inB. dissatisfied withC. concerned aboutD. indifferent to77.W hat can we infer from the passageA.Hillary Clinton enjoyed the press conference on her ongoingemail controversy.B.Hillary Clinton will lose the election to be the first femalepresident of the USA.C.Hadnagy analyzed Clinton’s uneasiness through her nonverbalactions in his book.D.Hillary Clinton lied about having sent classified emails fromher private server.78.T he article was probably published in .A. a politics textbookB. a business magazineC. a psychology journal（杂志）D. a financial newspaper（C）The Power of the Power PoseDo you want to feel more powerful and seem more powerful to others Try standing like Wonder Woman: hands on hips, feet wide apart, shoulders back, and staring confidently forward.It’s not a joke. The Wonder Woman power pose is now being considered a shortcut（捷径）for any woman feeling less confident. It had its first major boost in a TED talk by Harvard professor Amy Cuddy in 2012, who talked indetail about how standing like the Amazonion princess-warrior and pretending you’re armed with your ownlasso（套索）can tell others that you’re serious and powerful. In her study, standing in that“powerpose”helped people get hired for jobs, simply becausethey looked confident.Ms. Cuddy has found that even just faking a powerpose results in a corresponding（相应的）physical boost.She also noted that the Wonder Womanpose is a dominant stance that both supplies inner power to you and conveys power to others.How does it work It’s all about taking up as much space as possible, looking big and visible. Being the powerful person in a situation means extending yourself out as much as you can, even if you’re only an ordinary Joe or Jane. Other power poses include rolling your shoulders back and crossing your arms, planting your hand on the table and leaning forward and squinting （眯着眼看） slightly.Perhaps more interesting, however, is the effect that the power pose has on the people doing it. Posture isn’t just a way to communicate to an audience; it’s actually a boost to your own self- confidence. In Ms. Cuddy’s talk, she also mentioned an important chain of events: that our bodies can change our minds, our minds can change our behavior and our behavior can change the outcome of a situation.It’s these non-verbal expressions of dominance and power that influence how we feel about ourselves. So, next time you have to perform under pressure---whether it’s giving a presentation or attending a difficult meeting---find somewhere private and stand like W onder Woman for two minutes. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes.79.I n Ms. Cuddy’s study, the people taking the power pose gethired for jobs because .A.they leave a good impression on the employeesB.they look more powerful and confidentC.they have better resumes than other candidatesD.they have more work experience80.According to this article, the following poses can help youfeel more confident except .A.roll your shoulders back and cross your armsB.plant your hands on the table and lean forwardC.sit down with hands on your kneesD.put your hands on your hips with feet wide apart81.According to this article, which one of the statements istrueA.The power pose gives people a mental boost.B.Posture is only a way to communicate with other people.C.According to Ms. Cuddy, our behavior can change our mindsand thus change the result of an event.D.In a situation where you feel stressed, taking up as muchspace as possible helps you seem more confident.Section C 8%Directions：Read the passage carefully.
