In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we s ee a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “b urnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room fo r sentiment : if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go．Willy is pa infully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lac k of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed an d kills himself in the end．When it was first staged in 1949 ,the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Pla y, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama．It was the first play to win all three of these major awards．Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticu t, on the evening of February 10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway．1．Why did Arthur Miller' s father move to the USA?A．He suffered from severe hunger in his home country．B．He was attracted by the "Great American Dream．C．He hoped to make his son a dramatist．D．His family business failed．2．The play Death of a Salesman ________ .A．exposes the cruelty of the American business world B．discusses the ways to get promoted in a company C．talks about the business career of Arthur Miller D．focuses on the skills in doing business3．What can we learn about Willy Loman?A．He treats his employer badly． B．He runs the Wagner Company．C．He is a victim of the American system． D．He is r egarded as a hero by his colleagues．4．After it was first staged, Death of a Salesman ________ .

T he houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they h old Twitter engineers.The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd lov e affair with “low technology,” a concept associated with the n atural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to ge t creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the la te eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter’s designs lie o n the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader inter pretation (阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature.Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so t hat employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire floor is carpeted in gl ass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooft op park with a walking trail.Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers a re the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says . “They’re looking for a way to regain their individual identity, a nd we’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do th at.”This craft based on theory is rooted in history, William Morri s, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life,” M orris said. Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged t o “forest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rache l Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environme nt. Her research found that workers with access to nature at t he office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.6. The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that ________.A. Twitter is having a hard timeB. old cottages are in need of protectionC. early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montan aD. Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology7. Low technology is regarded as something that _______.A. is related to natureB. is out of date todayC. consumes too much energyD. exists in the virt ual world8. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings ______ __.A. have destroyed many per-industrial artsB. have a tradition of valuing arts and craftsC. can become intelligent by learning historyD. can regain their individual identity by using machines9. The writer’s attitude to “low technology” can best be describ ed as ________.A. positiveB. defensiveC. cautiousD. d oubtful10. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Past Glories, Future DreamsB. The Virtual World, the Real ChallengeC. High-tech Companies, Low-tech OfficesD. The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity第二节：阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）What is life's greatest gift? 11 . Choice is the ability to se lect one course of action from a set of alternatives to achieve a goal. What is so great about choice? It transforms us from d umb animals into artists. Each of us becomes another Michelangelo. Choice becomes nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) our life. The tool doesn't come free，however，for the price of choice is responsibility. 12 . The reward is happiness.Life is not still. It is a flow. 13 . We constantly need to monito r where we are on our journey.We need to ask questions：Am I moving closer to my goals? If not，what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take n ow to readjust myself to my goals? Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life.14 . And your life becomes more convenient or comfortab le because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our life are far more important than decidin g where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference betw een minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.All chess lovers realize that it isn't necessary to win to enjoy t he game. The pleasure is in the playing. Life is like a chess g ame. 15 .A．It is free will or choice.B．You have to make choices every day.C．Make the best moves you can under the circumstances. D．But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return .E．Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from o ur goals.F．Life is full of hard choices, and the bigger they are, the har der they get.G．Choose to carry out responsibilities not because you have to, but because you want to.第二部分：英语知识运用（共四节，满分65分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）The Ministry of Education has spared no efforts to bring on IT learning. What is its main aim? Is it to teach students how to l earn the computer or is it meant to change the usual method of teaching in order to 16 students’ strong interest in co mputers?Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different 17 giving class lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using comput ers to teach students. There is 18 about the fact that IT le arning plays an important role as a new teaching tool in this day of technology. 19 , views differ on whether the schools can achieve their targets, as success 20 whether they ca n make use of computers effectively.Let’s take the subject of Chinese as an example and see 2 1 difficulties the experts face in their IT management. At pres ent, 20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computer s. In other words, in a period of 10 weeks, a Chinese-language teacher must spend two weeks to teach the subject 22 .In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the e xperts should know the 23 that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it 2 4 to see the policy through.Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledg e, will still be forced to 25 the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer.Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools 26 IT learning has just started. All teachers — incl uding the seniors who are very 27 in teaching, but who su ddenly have no idea what to do when it comes to computers will have to 28 from the very beginning. They will become 29 and their teaching performances may be badly affected . The experts have found out how much of each subject is tau ght by computers in every school, and have 30 all schools to complete the given work. A hard-pressed teacher may put the daily teaching 31 or the cour ses onto the computer just to order the required time for IT lea rning and then 32 the usual way. Furthermore, he may le ave school work to his 33 through the computer before cl ass comes to an end in order to “complete” his IT learning 34 . 35 the teaching of the Chinese language is concern ed, do computer lessons really achieve the desire goals to rai se the students’ level of Chinese, pass on common values and so on?

AMy wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like the way it does today. We live on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, therocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish．We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area. We would do all of the yard work on our own, even thetiring weed pulling．Last summer I reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify．I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise claimed that she didn’t either．We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was．Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant，it appeared to be a sunflower with a tall skinny stalk(茎，秆) and only one head on it．I decided to baby it and weed around it．As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds，I noticed something unusual．The sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin．It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun．That's when I realized that if a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. Once our environment begins to seethat we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower，we can attain the same nourishment andgrowth as well．Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you．You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires．21．The author found it unusual that ．A．the mystery plant turned out to be a sunflowerB．the sunflower had a tall stalk and only one headC．the sunflower grew under and around a big rockD．the sunflower had started where the stalk was seen22．Which of the following best describes the sunflower?A．Brave and stubborn．B．Confident and persistent．C．Optimistic and modest．D．Mysterious and devoted．23．What can be inferred from this passage?A．Human beings are able to remove Obstacles．B．The Universal truth made the sunflower survive．C．A big rock blocked out the sunlight of the sunflower．D．We can achieve success as long as we are self-confident．BThe United Arab Emirates(UAE) government announced it had elected 60 “Chief Happiness Office rs” to study happiness and how to spread it abroad．Currently ranked 28th out of over 150countries surveyed in the United Nati ons’ 2016World Happiness Report, the UAE wants to sit within the top five by 2021. “We seek to create a society where our people’s happiness is primary,” declared the UAE’s Vice President and Prime Minister.Since the new minister took office，people working in the civil service haveattended aseries of happiness seminars to learn more about the plan. Dubai Police has renamed itscommunity service department the “General Department for Community Ha ppiness”and theforce often adds #YourSecurityOurHappiness to their tweets( 推特). Meanwhile, variousgovernment agencies have changed the language of their customer surveys to find out if people are “happy rather than just satisfie d”with the services，and some have investigated social media followers to see if their Instagram and Facebook posts bring happiness．Meik Wiking, an independent think tank in Denmark，the country which tops theUN’shappy table, thinks governments can and should play a role in public happiness. “The aim of public policy should be to improve the quality of life for people,” he says．Sonia Edwards，who has lived in the UAE for over a decade, says：“I think it’s a bit of apublic relations gimmick to be honest．I think the government wants to be seen to be makingthings better through this plan but I don't know how much effect it willreally have.”Edwards in Dubai adds: “There are a lot of issues here around job insecurity, workplace discrimination，high rents and expensive school fees, so if those were dealt with，we'd all be happier, but overall，happiness is not just up to the government, it’s also up to individuals andtheir ownmindsets.”24．What does the UAE government intend to do?A．Create a perfect society.B．Build a happier country.C．Promote international trades.D．Show its status in the world.25．What is one of the measures the UAE takes?A．Hold happiness seminars for civil servants．B．Give government agencies new names．C．Look through people’s online posts．D．Change the daily language．26．What does the underlined word “gimmic k”in Paragraph 4mean?A．improvement B．principle C．transformation D．trick 27．What might Meik Wiking and Edwards both agree with?A．The government misses the point．B．Happiness is somewhat subjective．C．Policy makers count as to people’s well-being．D．The effects of the happiness plan are uncertain．CMARCELA Del Sol first noticed something wasn’t right when she stumbled(绊倒) upon men’s clothing “hidden”around thehouse．The 42-year-old originally from Chile says she then discovered dozens of photographs in her phone that she did not remember taking. She was the subject but something wasdifferent．Her friends started falling away and she did not know why．Her long-term relationship ended suddenly．She now knows the men's clothing belonged to one of her“a lternatives”，andthe same person was responsible for separating those closest fromher．In an interview，Ms. Del Sol said she was not allowed to name any of her six alternative persons．“I can't tell you their names because they’re not happy for me to do so,” she said．“Iknow that sounds very irrational．I am aware that they’re not real people，not physical people，but l have a very good opinion ofthem.”Ms. Del Sol has what’s known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), a condition characterized by the presence of two or more split personalities that have power over a person'sbehavior．In her case，the condition is blamed on a car accident she was involved in three years ago．It was July 2013，when her vehicle broke down on the side of the road．A speeding driver collided with Ms. Del Sol’s car．She wasn't physically injured but her brain experienced trauma．Shortlyafter，she discovered she wasn't alone inside her head．Switching between personalities happensoften but there is no real pattern．It can be weeks between incidents and then，for whatever reason，it happens more frequently．She describes her lifestyle as “secluded”(与世隔绝的)but she knows she has to make aneffort. She volunteers for an organization helping abused children. She also spends time speaking out about her condition and has written a book on the subject，hoping to help others who are experiencing the same thing．28．What led to Del Sol’s friends breaking up withher?A．Her unpleasant photographs．B．The male personality inside her．C．Her love for men's clothing．D．The changeable characters of her．29．What does Del Sol think of the personalities insideher?A．They also deserve respect．B．They are gifts given by God．C．They are too strong to resist．D．They make her life ridiculous．30．What do we know about Del Sol?A．She makes her personalitie s’ names known．B．Her personalities change regularly．C．Her physical injury caused DID．D．She tries to live a positive life．31．What is the best title for thepassage?A．An unusual present B．An unhappy experienceC．The effect of DID on a woman D．A woman suffering DID after an accidentDDo you have an emotional brain or a rational one? Researchers at Australia’s Monash University have found actual difference in the brains of people who respond emotionally to other s’ feelings compared with those who respond more rationally.A study published in the journal NeuroImage has looked at whether people who havemorebrain cells in certain areas of the brain are better at certain types of empathy, according toScience Daily. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person, and the two types investigated were cognitive(认知的) empathy and affective empathy.“Every day people use empathy with, and without, their knowledge to get around in the social wor ld,”said Robert Eres from Monash University’s School of Psychological Sciences. “We use it for communication, to build relationships, and to increase our understanding of other s.”“People who are high on affective empathy are often those who get quite fearful when watching a scary movie, or start crying during a sad scene. Those who have high cognitive empathy are those who are more rational, for example a psychologist helping someone,” explained Eres.The results of the study showed that people with high scores for affective empathy had more gray matter in a part of the brain called the insula, found right in the “mi ddle” of the brain. Those who scored higher for cognitive empathy had more in a part called the midcingulate cortex—an area above the corpus callosum, which connects the two halves of the brain.The discovery “raises new questions—like whether people could train themselves to have more empathy, and whether those areas of the brain would become larger if they did, or whether we can lose our ability to empathize if we don’t use it enough”, according to Science Daily.“In the future we want to investigate further by testing whether training people in empathy-related tasks can lead to changes in these brain areas. We also want to investigate if damage to these brain areas, as a result of a stroke for example, can lead to empathy pr oblems,” s aid Eres.Perhaps in the future we will all be able to empathize more with other people. Maybe you will cry at that sad movie after all!32. Empathy can be used in the following situations EXCEPT that .A. when a psychologist is helping a patient with his mentaldisease B. when a teacher is comforting a student about hisfather’s death C. when a mathematician is calculating thearea of a farmlandD. when people are reading a story with a frightening ending33.

Which of the following statements might Robert Eres disagree with?A. People use empathy when they are or aren’t aware of it.B. People tend to use empathy to build relationships or understand others.C. People with higher affective empathy feel heart-broken when watching sad movies.D. People who are more rational have been found to have more gray matter in theirbrains.35. Which of the following will be one of the focuses of future investigations accordingto the article? A. How to train people in empathy-related tasks.B. Whether people can be trained to be more empathetic.C. Whether empathy problems can lead to damage to areas of the brain.D.
