And there's often rain or fog，which makes iteven more dangerous.I found out another thing. Here in Bolivia，they drive on the right side of the road.

They shared with us some of their habits.One key to long﹣term success is working towards the goal（2）. Most successful language learners make sure to spend a few minutes practicing every day. We also studied some"nine﹣to﹣fivers（朝九晚五）". These language learners practice their language only in class. In the long run，they show much （3）progress than those who practice daily. They are also more likely to"drop out".The second habit of successful language learners is that they don't "binge study（临时抱佛脚）". Instead，they make progress through a number of short study sessions over a longer period of time.Learners who practice now and then for a marathon to catch up are more likely to give up altogether.Some language learners always want to learn as much new material as they can.

There are hundreds of his quotations（语录）in books on posters and on websites. Here is an example："If you tell the truth，you don't have to remember anything."﹣﹣﹣Mark Twain.Quotations like this one give us guidance. It reminds us that telling a lie is much more difficult than telling the truth.Telling a lie means you have to remember what you said each time you tell the lie. If you tell the truth，there is nothing to remember. He suggests that you shouldn't lie not because it is wrong，but because it is hard work. Here is another example."Always obey your parents when they are present."﹣﹣﹣Mark TwainAgain，the quotation give good advice﹣﹣﹣to always obey your parents，but the humorous part is when they are present. The quotation tells you to obey your parents when they are there with you﹣﹣﹣because they can see what you are doing.Albert Einstein's quotations are also popular. Many of his quotations are inspirational（鼓舞人心的）. This means that they help us to do our best and be the best person we can be. Here is an example："Learn from yesterday，live for today，hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning."﹣﹣﹣Albert EinsteinThis is a much more serious quotation than the two Mark Twain ones. It gives us a lot to think about. Also，because this was said by Albert Einstein，it makes us want to take the quotation serious. This quotation gives us hope that that we can learn from any mistake we made yesterday. It reminds us to always look closely at everything we do and ask the right questions to help us achieve our best.（1）Where are Mark Twain's quotations always used？（2）Telling a lie is easier than telling the truth，isn't it？（3）According to Mark Twain，why should we always obey our parents when they are present？（4）What does"Learn from yesterday."in Albert Einstein's quotation really mean？（5）What's the purpose of not to stop questioning？（6）Among the three quotations above，which one impresses（印象）you most？Why？Ⅶ. Writing37．Write at least 60 words on the topic"Keep your mind open".（以"敞开心扉/心胸开阔" 为题，写一篇至少60 个单词的短文，标点符号不占格.）在生活中，你对你的生活满意吗？不满意的话，是什么原因呢？如果我们能以开阔的胸怀面对不同的事物，从不同的角度去思考问题，可能会得到意想不到的收获。

W: It is time to talk about the labor division of the project. Do you mind doing the drawing part? M: I find it quite hard. I would be happier if you did it.Q: What does the man mean?8. M: So Joan, we’d like to know how you managed to turn the small company into such a largebusiness so quickly.W: Well, I think quick reactions to the market and strict management is the key.Q: What are they talking about?9. W: I have painted the doors, but I don’t think I can finish painting the ceiling.M: Come on, it is a man’s job. Leave it to me.Q: What does the man offer to do?10. M: The food in this restaurant is horrible. If only we had gone to the school dining hall.W: But the food isn’t everything. Isn’t it nice just to get away from all the noise?Q: Why does the woman prefer to go to this restaurant?Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear several longer conversation(s) and short passage(s), and you will be asked several questions on each of the conversation(s) and the passage(s). The conversation(s) and the passage(s) will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.An individual’s intelligence is determined by two factors. The first is the kind of brain he is born with. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low level of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is the kind of environment that affects him.The importance of environment can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and John. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate homes. Peter was brought up by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. John, however, was educated in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. The environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens. When they were given tests to measure their intelligence, John’s IQ was 125.25 points higher than the average and 40 points higher than his identical brother.Questions:11. What does the passage mainly talk about?12. Why were the identical twins separated?13. What does John’s higher IQ illustrate?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Who remembers the sound of unwrapping a new record album, the smell of a new car or the excitement of opening the door to a newly bought home? At different times in my life, each one stood for the joy of possession, and the sense of having really arrived.However, my teenage children and their peers do not see things the same way. They wouldrather pay for online music and videos than purchase DVDs or permanent downloads.The changes come in several catalogues. Apps are linking owners of goods and services — bicycles, spare bedrooms, even solar energy — to a host of potential users.We are entering an era in which consumers will value access over ownership and experiences over property.What on earth happened to both consumers and companies that supply them?First of all, when companies are supplying services rather than goods, the relationship between consumers and the things that they use becomes more complex. If I have a record album on my shelf, my husband can clearly play it. But when I link our Amazon Echo speaker to my son’s account, I have no idea whether I am breaking the terms and conditions he agreed to with his account. Furthermore, does that act give Amazon the right to send the advertisements based on the songs we play?In many cases, the shift to a sharing economy will also affect the nature of the goods that are being shared. Currently, most cars spend most of the time sitting idle. If drivers stop buying their own cars and instead sign up for a rental service or use apps such as Uber, each individual vehicle will receive a lot more use. That means carmakers will face pressure to produce fewer, better-made cars.Questions:14. Which of the following might not have contributed to people’s feeling of happiness in the past?15. Which of the following statements is correct?16. What does the passage mainly talk about?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following longer conversation.W: Mr. Hanks. May I have a word with you?M: Sure, Maggie. What’s up?W: You see, to promote our coffee products, I have done some marketing research. I followed the business case of Starbucks because it revolutionized the coffee industry. And I desperately need your opinions now.M: Yeah, I saw your report on an analysis of the success of Starbucks. You mentioned that the location of stores is their key to success, right?W: Yes. This is the first essential idea we should have when mapping out our own strategy. I have also made a questionnaire to learn more facts about our potential customers’ needs.M: Good job. Have you reached any conclusion?W: Well, it seems that customers care more about the service of a cafe than the quality of coffee beans and milk, etc. Employees are an extension of the brand.M: What’s your follow-up plan then?W: Staff training. Could you give me some advice?M: I am glad to help. Maybe the most important thing is to get them familiar with our company’s employee handbook. All the policies and procedures are clearly stated there.W: I think we should add more details into the handbook because the manual was written a long time ago.M: Make sure new employees are instructed in coffee making techniques, ordering procedures and product introductions.W: Ok. I will personally take care of it.Questions:17. What is the key to Starbucks’ success?18. What did Maggie do to learn more facts about customers?19. What conclusion did Maggie reach about customers’ needs?20. Why is the employee handbook so important?II.

Tomorrow Max and I aregoing to Coroico, a town about 60 kilometers from here. We'retaking a bus along the North Yungas Road, also known as " Death Road " . It goes along steep hillsides and cliffs. People call it the most dangerous road in the world! There are hundreds of accidents on it every year.March 17 th, 9 a.m.I've found out more about the North Yungas Road. It's only about 3 meters wide, and in some parts there's drop of at least 600 meters. That's more than half a kilometer! There's no barrier（屏障）along the side of the road. And there's often rain or fog, which makes iteven more dangerous.I found out another thing. Here in Bolivia, they drive on the right side of the road. But on the North Yungas Road, they drive on the left. Why？Because this means that the drive on the dangerous side of the road can see the edge of the road more easily. The driver's seat is on the left side of the bus, so the driver is close to the edge. Our bus leaves in one hour!March 17 th, 8 p.m.We got to Coroico safely. It was terrifying sometimes! But there was no rain or fog. Our driver told us the road is safer than it used to be, and he's driven it many times before. He didn't drive fast, and we never went too close to the edge.

There are hundreds of his quotations（语录）in books on posters and on websites. Here is an example："If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything."---Mark Twain.Quotations like this one give us guidance. It reminds us that telling a lie is much moredifficult than telling the truth. Telling a lie means you have to remember what you said each time you tell the lie. If you tell the truth, there is nothing to remember. He suggests that you shouldn't lie not because it is wrong, but because it is hard work. Here is another example."Always obey your parents when they are present."---Mark TwainAgain, the quotation give good advice---to always obey your parents, but the humorous part is when they are present. The quotation tells you to obey your parents when they are there with you---because they can see what you are doing.Albert Einstein's quotations are also popular. Many of his quotations are inspirational（鼓舞人心的）. This means that they help us to do our best and be the best person we can be.Here is an example："Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning."---Albert EinsteinThis is a much more serious quotation than the two Mark Twain ones. It gives us a lot to think about. Also, because this was said by Albert Einstein, it makes us want to take the quotation serious. This quotation gives us hope that that we can learn from any mistake we made yesterday. It reminds us to always look closely at everything we do and ask the right questions to help us achieve our best.Where are Mark Twain's quotations always used？______Telling a lie is easier than telling the truth, isn't it？______According to Mark Twain, why should we always obey our parents when they are present？______What does"Learn from yesterday."in Albert Einstein's quotation really mean______What's the purpose of not to stop questioning______Among the three quotations above, which one impresses（印象）you most？Why？______ 47.Write at least 60 words on the topic"Keep your mind open".（以"敞开心扉/心胸开阔" 为题，写一篇至少60 个单词的短文，标点符号不占格.）在生活中，你对你的生活满意吗？不满意的话，是什么原因呢？如果我们能以开阔的胸怀面对不同的事物，从不同的角度去思考问题，可能会得到意想不到的收获。
