You may also have taen pleasure in the frequent sight of your two children sitting on your lawn directly by the fence. And you may also have noticed that my apple trees, so to spea, bend over the fence and seem to loo down at your children with interest.It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest. And it is not only natural, but, I acnowledge, quite legal, for them occasionally to show that interest by picing all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence.But to be plain with you, Mr. Jones, I am tired of seeing your children, day after day, tear the branches off the side of every one of my apple trees, and leavemy trees looing as though a battle had been fought on one side of them. I am, if anything, even more tired of waing up these fine autumn mornings, to find even the apples on my side of the fence much less in number. I now this is the wor of your children, since last night I was woen at midnight by the noise they were maing climbing one of my trees, and (as they may have told you) chased them home.While I am on the subject, I am at least grateful to you for eeping your bonfires on the far side of your garden this year. Last year neither I nor your children had any apples, because the smoe from your bonfire destroyed all the flowers before the apples had time to form. I hope that net year—for the first time since I came to this village—I shall have my apples, and your children will have theirs and that the sight of the line of apple trees will be a pride to us both.Otherwise, I shall not epress my displeasure simply in writing to you, but shall have to refer the matter to those capable of taing stronger action.Yours sincerely,J.

Maybe, lie me, you might feel setting up a new company is something you might do when you’re older, when you have more eperience. But that’s not always the case.While some of us may feel young adulthood is a time of uncertainly finding our place in the world, sleeping late and partying hard, others are already on a path to great business success. Tae the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, who started his company as a young university student at Harvard in the US. There are many other eamples of young entrepreneurs (企业家) who have become hugely successful, proving that there’s no minimum age to becoming top dog.But to be the net business eecutive requires effort. You need to acquire a een mind and good business intelligence and above all, you need enthusiasm. Starting a new business comes with an element of ris but if you are able to spot the net big idea, it’s probably worth giving it a try. Jessica Rose owns a jewelry maing business and admits that “when I first started I had no business training but when I woe up on e day, I thought I’d really love to be a jewelry designer.” She went on to be a successful young entrepreneur.Being young and in business does have its drawbacs; you may worry you have nothing to bring to the table and that the people who wor for you tend to be older and wiser. That’s what young British entrepreneur Suleman Sacranie found. He started his third business while studying chemistry at university. He says “now I’ve got two additional directors who have grey hair” but when they first started he s ays he could tell they were thining in the bac of their heads, “I’ve got a id sitting in front of me.”You may thin setting up a new start-up is easier said than done. As well as ideas, y ou need financial bacing and epert guidance. But if you’re studying h ard at university and don’t have the desire to go into business and mae your fortune, eep on studying – an education is priceless!29. At the very beginning, what’s the author’s attitude to the necessity of beingaged and eperienced in setting up a new company?A. Supportive.B. Negative.C. Impersonal.D. Critical.30.

If you don’t intend t o set up business, just focus on your study.D. Education is more valuable than setting up a business.DAniety has now surpassed depression as the most common mental health disease among college students, though depression, too, is on the rise. More than half of students visiting campus clinics cite aniety as a health concern, according to a recent study of more than 100,000 students nationwide by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State.The causes range widely, eperts say, from mounting academic pressure at earlier ages to overprotective parents to engagement with social media. Aniety has always played a role in the development of a student’s life, but now more students eperience aniety so acute that they are seeing professional help.Aniety has become characteristic of the current generation of college students, said Dan Jones, the director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Appalachian State University in Boone, N. C. Because of increasingly pressures during high school, he and other eperts say, students arrive at college preloaded with stress. Accustomed to etreme parental oversight, many seem unable to govern themselves. And with parents so accessible, students have had less incentive to develop life sills. “They can’t tolerate discomfort or having to struggle,” Dr Jones said.More often, aniety is mild and temporary, the indication of a student under the control of a normal developmental issue-learning time management, for eample, or how to handle rejection from a sorority(女生联谊会). Mild aniety is often treatable with early, modest interventions. But to care for rising numbers of severely troubled students, many counseling centers have moved to triage protocols(分诊措施). That means that students with less urgent needs may wait several wees for first appointments.32.What results in aniety mentioned according to the passage?A. Overprotection from parents and teachers.B. The social media pressure.C. The dev elopment of students’ life.D. Considerably learning pressure33. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Motivation.B. AttentionC. Appreciation.D. Direction.34. How do many counseling centers deal with some severely troubled students?A. To send them to some psychological hospitals.B. To teach them how to manage time.C. To move to triage protocols.D. To treat them with early, modest interventions.35. Which of the following would be the best title for the tet?A. College mental health centers overburdened with depression students.B. Students burdened with aniety on the riseC. Different mental diseases among college students.D. Aniety and mental problems.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Generally what is a diary used for?A. Taking business notes．B. Planning activities．C. Keeping daily happenings．D. Confirming the appointments．33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “realm”in the fourth paragraph?A. Kingdom．B. Field．C. Department．D. Land．34. Why does the author mention Anne Frank’s diary in the third paragraph?A. To let us know the popularity of her diary．B. To show us the invaluable lessons about the history．C. To present her dramatic and interesting experience during the War．D. To emphasis the importance of keeping diaries for historical purposes．35. What can we know about the blog?A.

More than half of students visiting campus clinics cite anxiety as a health concern, according to a recent study of more than 100,000 students nationwide by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State.The causes range widely, experts say, from mounting academic pressure at earlier ages to overprotective parents to engagement with social media. Anxiety has always played a role in the development of a student’s life, but now more students experience anxiety so acute that they are seeking professional help.Anxiety has become characteristic of the current generation of college students, said Dan Jones, the director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Appalachian State University in Boone, N. C. Because of increasingly pressures during high school, he and other experts say, students arrive at college preloaded with stress. Accustomed to extreme parental oversight, many seem unable to govern themselves. And with parents so accessible, students have had less incentive to develop li fe skills. “They can’t tolerate discomfort or having to struggle,” Dr Jones said.More often, anxiety is mild and temporary, the indication of a student under the control of a normal developmental issue-learning time management, for example, or how to handle rejection from a sorority(女生联谊会). Mild anxiety is often treatable with early, modest interventions. But to care for rising numbers of severely troubled students, many counseling centers have moved to triage protocols (分诊措施). That means that students with less urgent needs may wait several weeks for first appointments.32.What results in anxiety mentioned according to the passage?A. Overprotection from parents and teachers.B. The social media pressure.C. The development of students’ life.D. Considerably learning pressure33. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Motivation.B. AttentionC. Appreciation.D. Direction.34.

It was an audition (试听) in which people had exactly twominutes each to perform for a producer.I am not a comic, have never appeared onstage, am awkward before many people, and have no social skills. But I have written some funny things in the newspapers, and I figured that if you can write funny, you can be funny. That was my first mistake.Good stand - up comics improve their acts over months if not years, practicing before bathroom mirrors or their friends. I developed the key skill the morning I wenton. I also brought a box of plastic beads (珠子) , because I figured they could be useful.For the first few seconds, I was simply staring forward, mouth open, expressing the concept:"Uuungh".Finally I said, "This is my first performance as a stand - up comic. It's a kind of a special moment for me. I'd like to take this opportunity to say something to my mother, who was an inspiration (激励) to me throughout my life. My mother passed away a few years ago, but I feel she is still with me. All the time, wherever I go, I feel her presence. Day in and day out. So I would like to say this to her. LEAVE ME ALONE, MA!"Some people actually laughed.Then I said, "Anyway, this really is my first time onstage, and I'm pretty nervous because I'm not all that funny and I have a really bad stage presence. But I've been working on the problem.A long time ago a Greek guy named Demosthenes had the same problem I have, and he became a great speaker by sticking pebbles (鹅卵石) in his mouth, so I thought I would (and here I began puttingthe beads in my mouth) try that. See, the idea is that if you can talk through the pebbles ( now I was putting them in by the handful) you can learn to talk better and wfnm fmuff frmphmgrphnm . . ."More laughter.I looked at my watch, said something that might have sounded like "My time is up," and left to somewhat spirited applause. What the audience did not know was that I was quietly choking (哽咽) on a slippery bead.24. We can learn from the text that the author____.A. is a professional comicB. has rich stage experienceC. is good at communicating with othersD. has had his stories published in the newspapers25. What made some people laugh at first?A. The author's words.B. The author's life story.C. The author's facial expression.D. The author's body movements.26.

After giving the performance, the author probably feltA. the audience was stupidB. being a comic is never easyC. he would make a great comicD. he should have brought more beadsCIn our schooldays, everyone has the memories they can cherish and treasure for their whole life. Schooldays are the most joyful and fun filled with many mysteries to solve and many fights to resolve.In my schooldays, I had many friends and some foes. We used to gossip, play and sometimes fight over silly things. I had two best friends. They were very' nice and loyal to me. Everyteacher in my school liked us, although we weren't brilliant students. In fact we were average ones but still we respected our elders and loved our youngsters. Since my childhood, I've never been complaining to anyone about anything as I had everything I needed or wanted. I miss my schooldays since they are all about having fun and no competitions. The most exciting part is "the exchange of lunch boxes". Usually my best friends and I liked each other's lunch and soon developed a habit of exchanging lunches. Apart from sharing lunches, we also used to share our silly secrets.We used to play our self-created games and draw photos for fun. We also used to have bets and treats for rewards on childish things but we never played jokes on anyone. My childhood was indeed really amazing and simple. We found fun in small but beautiful things. It was surely surrealistic(超现实的) but also exciting at times. In my schooldays, we sometimes played in the rains, made paper boats, ate ice-creams and enjoyed every drop of water and after getting all bathed up in water, we had hot chocolate drinks.These were some of the memories of my schooldays in my childhood, which I still cherish today. I hope everyone's childhood days are just as carefree and joyous as mine.28. The author never made any complaints because_____.A. he got on well with his classmatesB. his teachers liked him very muchC. he had many good friendsD. he was never short of anything29.

Which is the best title for this passage?A. My TeachersB. My schooldaysC. My Best friendsD. My ChildhoodDA woman in Santa Fe, New Mexico, left her home early to go to work on a Thursday morning, but after twenty minutes' drive her car suddenly broke down. Fortunately, at that moment, a kind man named Jackson Auk coming, helped her pull the car over, but when he opened the hood (引擎罩) of the car he didn't find a dead battery. Instead, he found a living snake, 9 - foot, 20 - pound, "It was looking right at me. It flicked its little tongue, and I was a little frightened "Jackson Ault said.So Ault and the woman called the local police to get help. The first officer on the scene didn't know how to control the snake like most people and was not brave at that moment. But then the police - Lt. Louis Carlos showed up and the story suddenly became much less frightening and more delightful."Cool, I wanted to hold it!" Carlos told a local TV reporter about his reaction to seeing the snake. "It was easy for me to go there, pick it up, hold it and let the snake feel the warmth of my hands and my body."After comforting the snake, Carlos called Animals Control Service, which brought the snake to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter.One people from the center said the snake was not dangerous andit was like a pet that wanted to escape from its owner's home. It was also just a baby, only halfway toward her estimated adult length. They said it almost certainly crawled on the top of the car's engine to seek warmth and shelter."We had a lot of fun with it today - everyone there wanted to challenge their courage and handle the snake," people could read these words on the Santa Fe Animal Shelter's Facebook page.In fact, not everyone thought that way. "I was hesitant to open my own hood even though that sounds ridiculous," Ault said.32. Jackson Auh thought at first that the woman's car____.A. had been short of gasB. had had a battery problemC. had had an engine problemD. had been damaged by a snake33. Why did Carlos call Animals Control Service?A. To get hold of the snake.B. To pick up the snake.C. To take the snake away.D. To operate on the snake.34. The snake crawled on the top of the car probably toA. frighten the driverB. hid from its ownerC. make itself warm and unseenD. find something delicious to eat35. We can learn from Paragraph 6 thatA. it is fun to play with snakes for peopleB. only Ault is frightened of the snakeC. it's usual for a snake to hide under the car hoodD. dealing with the snake is not an easy job for people。

You may also have taen pleasure in the frequent sight of your two children sitting on your lawn directly by the fence. And you may also have noticed that my apple trees, so to spea, bend over the fence and seem to loo down at your children with interest.It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest. And it is not only natural, but, I acnowledge, quite legal, for them occasionally to show that interest by picing all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence.But to be plain with you, Mr. Jones, I am tired of seeing your children, day after day, tear the branches off the side of every one of my apple trees, and leave my trees looing as though a battle had been fought on one side of them. I am, if anything, even more tired of waing up these fine autumn mornings, to find even the apples on my side of the fence much less in number. I now this is the wor of your children, since last night I was woen at midnight by the noise they were maing climbing one of my trees, and (as they may have told you) chased them home.While I am on the subject, I am at least grateful to you for eeping your bonfires on the far side of your garden this year. Last year neither I nor your children had any apples, because the smoe from your bonfire destroyed all the flowers before the apples had time to form. I hope that net year—for the first time since I came to this village—I shall have my apples, and your children will have theirs and that the sight of the line of apple trees will be a pride to us both.Otherwise, I shall not epress my displeasure simply in writing to you, but shall have to refer the matter to those capable of taing stronger action.Yours sincerely,J. Smith.25. What does the writer mainly complain about in his letter?A. Mr.Jones' children bending over the fence.B. Mr.Jones' children climbing the apple trees.C.

Mr.Jones' children must be rather ill-mannered.B. Mr.Jones must be terribly strict with his children as well as with neighbours.C. Mr.Smith is liely to have come to this town for no more than two years.D. The writer considers writing a letter is a better way to tal about the matter with Mr.Jones.28. What is the tone of the writer at the end of the letter?A. Humorous.B. Sympathetic.C. Aggressive.D. Determined.CDo you have a business brain? Are you always looing for the net big idea? Maybe, lie me, you might feel setting up a new company is something you might do when you’re older, when you have more eperience. But that’s not always the case.While some of us may feel young adulthood is a time of uncertainly finding our place in the world, sleeping late and partying hard, others are already on a path to great business success. Tae the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, who started his company as a young university student at Harvard in the US. There are many other eamples of young entrepreneurs (企业家) who have become hugely successful, proving that there’s no minimum age to becoming top dog.But to be the net business eecutive requires effort. You need to acquire a een mind and good business intelligence and above all, you need enthusiasm. Starting a new business comes with an element of ris but if you are able to spot the net big idea, it’s probably worth giving it a try. Jessica Rose owns a jewelry maing business and admits that “when I first started I had no business training but when I woe up on e day, I thought I’d really love to be a jewelry designer.” She went on to be a successful young entrepreneur.Being young and in business does have its drawbacs; you may worry you have nothing to bring to the table and that the people who wor for you tend to be older and wiser. That’s what young British entrepreneur Suleman Sacranie found. He started his third business while studying chemistry at university. He says “now I’ve got two additional directors who have grey hair” but when they first started he s ays he could tell they were thining in the bac of their heads, “I’ve got a id sitting in front of me.”You may thin setting up a new start-up is easier said than done. As well as ideas, y ou need financial bacing and epert guidance. But if you’re studying h ard at university and don’t have the desire to go into business and mae your fortune, eep on studying – an education is priceless!29. At the very beginning, what’s the author’s attitude to the necessity of beingaged and eperienced in setting up a new company?A. Supportive.B. Negative.C. Impersonal.D. Critical.30.

Starting a new business comes with an element of ris but if you are able to spot the net big idea, it’s probably worth giving it a try. Jessica Rose owns a jewelry maing business a nd admits that “when I first started I had no business training but when I woe up one day, I thought I’d really love to be a jewelry designer.” She went on to be a successful young entrepreneur.Being young and in business does have its drawbacs; you may worry you have nothing to bring to the table and that the people who wor for you tend to be older and wiser. That’s what young British entrepreneur Suleman Sacranie found. He started his third business while studying chemistry at university.

More than half of students visiting campus clinics cite aniety as a health concern, according to a recent study of more than 100,000 students nationwide by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State.The causes range widely, eperts say, from mounting academic pressure at earlier ages to overprotective parents to engagement with social media. Aniety has always played a role in the development of a student’s life, but now more students eperience aniety so acute that they are seeing professional help.Aniety has become characteristic of the current generation of college students, said Dan Jones, the director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Appalachian State University in Boone, N. C. Because of increasingly pressures during high school, he and other eperts say, students arrive at college preloaded with stress. Accustomed to etreme parental oversight, many seem unable to govern themselves. And with parents so accessible, students have had less incentive to develop life sills. “They can’t tolerate discomfort or having to struggle,” Dr Jones said.More often, aniety is mild and temporary, the indication of a student under the control of a normal developmental issue-learning time management, for eample, or how to handle rejection from a sorority(女生联谊会). Mild aniety is often treatable with early, modest interventions. But to care for rising numbers of severely troubled students, many counseling centers have moved to triage protocols (分诊措施). That means that students with less urgent needs may wait several wees for first appointments.32.What results in aniety mentioned according to the passage?A. Overprotection from parents and teachers.B. The social media pressure.C. The development of students’ life.D. Considerably learning pressure33. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Motivation.B. AttentionC. Appreciation.D. Direction.34. How do many counseling centers deal with some severely troubled students?A. To send them to some psychological hospitals.B. To teach them how to manage time.C. To move to triage protocols.D. To treat them with early, modest interventions.35. Which of the following would be the best title for the tet?A. College mental health centers overburdened with depression students.B. Students burdened with aniety on the riseC. Different mental diseases among college students.D. Aniety and mental problems.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The Spartan Junior RaceBLong in the 1700s, “home” was used as a verb, meaning “to be guided to a destination.” So, when you home in on something you get closer to your target. For example, you could say, “Police are homing in on the suspects.”But today, “home” is more often used as a noun. And it has a very emotional connection for American English speakers. You can remember the meaning of the word by the expression “Home is where the heart is.” That expression means home is anywhere you feel love and comfort. It is a place where you belong, and often a place you consider your origin. You can also simply carry the feeling of home with you -- that is, a feeling of love and loyalty to your family and places that are dear to you.In other words, “home” is not simply a building where you live –that’s a house. Some people find that returning to a childhood place brings only joy and delight. When these people return to their childhood homes, they may say “Home Sweet Home!”Of course, you can say this anywhere. A single woman living alone in her first apartment may come home after a tough day at work and sigh, “Ah, home sweet home!” If she loves her apartment she might also say: “There’s no place like home.”But what about those people who must stay away from their homes for a long time? They still want to feel connected to a place they can depend on. Hotels know this about travelers. Many advertise that they will be a home away from home. This expression describes a place where everything is familiar and comfortable.Friends can also give you a home away from home. When you visit them, they may say to you: “Make yourself at home!” This common expression means someone wants you to feel relaxed and welcome.24.When the police say they are homing in on the suspects, they mean .A. they will go to the suspects’ homeB. they will catch the suspects soonC. they are going home with the suspectsD. they are getting closer to the home25.What does the underlined word “dear” in Para 2 mean?A. preciousB. expensiveC. familiarD. favorite26.Why do many hotels advertise that they will be a home for the travelers?A. To provide a home for the travelersB. To make the travelers believe they have a homeC. To convince the travelers of how comfortable their hotels areD. To describe their hotels more vividly27.When you want to make someone feel relaxed and welcome, you can say .A. Help yourselfB. Make yourself at homeC. Just do itD. Don’t be nervousCSanta’s gift bag full of air is no longer a joke, as a Canadian company that sells crisp, canned air from the Rocky Mountains has cashed in on Ch ina’s air pollution.Just two months after arriving in China, Vitality Air’s first 500 canisters were sold out. The next pre-ordered 4,000 canisters are expected to be delivered to the country in two weeks, said Catherine Qi, marketing director of Vitality Air China. Vitality Air said its products are sold primarily to high-end clubs, nightclubs and international schools in China.The air is harvested from the Rocky Mountains and is available in two varieties-Banff and Lake Louise. The price is 129 yuan ($19.95) per canister, Qi told China Daily. “Our products sell not only in China, but also other places including the Middle East and India,” she said.The product originated with a practical joke in which Vitality Air founder Moses Lam put a plastic bag of fresh air on eBay with a price tag of 99 US cents. It sold quickly. The next bag of fresh air was auctioned(拍卖) at $168 and also was sold. Then Lam realized the demand for quality, convenient and fresh air by people who have stayed indoors for a long time. Each canister of 7.7 liters will supply 150 doses. The product is available at Taobao, an online marketplace run by Alibaba Group Holding, and at Vitality Air’s website, said Qi.Zhang Naxin, a respiratory physician(呼吸内科医⽣) in Tianjin, told Daily News that 150 doses of Canadian air won’t make much of a difference. “A person breathes 20 times on average per minute, and one bottle would last for less than eight minutes.”Tina Wang, a manager at a logistics company in China, said she was intrigued by the product. “I’ve had the flu this week, and the bad air here doesn’t help me get better. This bottle of fresh air is just what I need,” said Wang, who added that she thought the price was too high.28. Why did Vitality Air decide to sell air?A. It began with a jokeB.

Taobao30.How much should two canisters cost you?A. $19.95B. $39.9C. $99D. $12931.What’s Tina’s attitude towards the product?A. SurprisedB. DoubtfulC. SupportiveD.CuriousDChina’s famed “bike wars” may soon be fought on foreign shores, as Bluegogo and Mobike compete with fellow stand-free cycle hire company ofo in the British market.Cycle hire startups, so-called bike Ubers, are big business in China. Around 30 companies control tens of thousands of bikes in at least 35 Chinese cities. The two largest, ofo and Mobike, recently secured $450 million and $300 million in funding, respectively.Already locked in a battle for market share across China, the startups now have London in their sights. Elsewhere in the UK this month, Beijing Bikelock Technology’s bike hire business ofo is launching a pilot bike-hiring scheme in Cambridge. Mobike is reportedly interested in launching similar projects in Birmingham and Manchester.The Sunday Times recently reported Bluegogo and Mobike were looking at London.Both London and Birmingham already have bike-hire schemes. The Chinese services differ in doing away with docking stations. Users of the bikes offered by the Chinese companies are free to pick up a cycle wherever they find one and leave it wherever they want, using a smartphone app and a code to deactivate and activate(激活) a built-in lock.The capital’s transport authority, Transport for London, has expressed interest in the new technology.TfL’s head of strategy and outcome planning, Lilli Matson, said: “We are always keen to talk to companies to explore advancements in technology and discuss new ideas, and have spoken with a number of companies, to understand their plans.”A spokesperson for ofo said: “We have had brief discussions with TfL about how our scheme works in China and other markets and they are interested in hearing how our trial works in Cambridge. Our primary focus is ensuring the Cambridge trial is a success. We will potentially look to enter other areas later.”32.Where will ofo launch their pilot bike-hiring plan in the UK?A. BirminghamB.
