17. What should you focus on for the introduction
A. Your hobbies.
B. Your name and schooling.
C. Something about the job interests.

A. To stress the importance of resumes.
B. To give tips about self-introduction.
C. To explain a recent scientific research.
【答案】17. C 18. C 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】Everyone knows how to introduce themselves, right It’s just like those name labels used at networking events, “Hello, my name is... ” Unfortunately, a lot of job seekers have a tough time going beyond a basic introduction. Sure, they can chat about where they grew up or their favorite book or movie, but it can be very helpful to say something smart and relevant about their job interests.
Are you confident about your skills Are you ready to use them the next time someone asks what you’re looking for While usual wisdom suggests you prepare a two minute self-introduction, most introductions don’t last two minutes, and that s usually too long to hold people’s attention. Instead, you should think about how to share some information about yourself quickly and simply, so you don’t lose your target audience s attention.
If you can’t introduce yourself to a potential contact in 30 seconds or less, you may miss some important opportunities to impress someone important. Effectively introducing yourself is very important for you to find a job. You should prepare for it ahead of time.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Since it first opened after four years of construction in 1937 at a cost of $27 million,the Golden Gate Bridge has made its appearance in films and poetry.
CNN Travel spent a day climbing into and ground the bridge,learning these secrets from the people who know and love it best.
Why is it called the Golden Gate Bridge It’s not golden.
“The Golden Gate Bridge gets its name because it spans what is called the Golden Gate Strait,”said Paolo Cosulich-Schwartz,spokesman for the Golden Gate Bridge,Highway and Transportation District,which operates the bridge. It’s a three-mile-long and one-mile-wide body of water that connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay.
What color is the bridge It looks red.
“It’s not red,although you’re not crazy to think so. Visitors all call it red,”said Russell. “Back in the day,the US Navy,then part of the War Department,oversaw the waterways and wanted to paint this bridge black and yellow for high visibility,”said fellow painter Jarrod Bauer. “They ended up mixing paint to create the color International Orange,which is similar to the color of red lead,”he said.
Does the bridge get entirely painted every year
No,and it doesn’t need to be. It’s true that the top coat has been fully repainted over time with new and environmentally-improved International Orange top coats.
Who performs bridge rescues
McVeigh and his fellow ironworkers,the so—called“Cowboys of the Sky”,have that responsibility. McVeigh has lost count of how many troubled souls he’s been called to rescue over the past 17 years.
In September in 2018,the bridge started constructing a suicide(自杀)prevention system,also known as the safety net,to keep people from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s expected to be completed in 2021.
21. What’s the true color of the Golden Gate Bridge
A. Red. B. Red lead.
C. Black and yellow. D. International Orange.
22 Who can probably be called a hero on the Golden Gate Bridge
A. McVeigh. B. Jarrod Bauer.
C. Russell. D. Paolo.
23. What can we know about the Golden Gate Bridge
A. It is safer now because of the safety net.
B. It got its name because of its color.
C. It took much time and money to be built.
D. It needs to be repainted once a year.
【答案】21. D 22. A 23. C
【解析】

【22题详解】

Rehan Staton recently found out he was accepted to Harvard Law School. For him, the sky’s the limit, but it wasn’t always that way.
The 24-year-old college student was raised by a single father who worked three different jobs, breaking his back. But, despite his father’s best efforts, financial burdens steadily mounted. Staton’s study had suffered but he kept pushing himself forward. He said growing up was tough and he used to struggle in school. One teacher even suggested he switch to a special education class.
But with help from a free tutor, Staton’s grades improved. He continued to improve academically while training to be a professional boxer in high school. However, his choices for college dwindled after suffering an injury, which ruined the chances of him turning professional in sports. He was rejected from every school he applied to.
So to help support his family, Staton took a job collecting trash at a local sanitation company, which he said changed his life in ways he never imagined. “Most of my coworkers were formerly imprisoned. So, it caught me by surprise how much the people on the bottom of the society uplifted me and really wanted me to make something of myself,” he told the reporter. “They encouraged me to reapply to college. They had nothing but uplifting words for me and my future.”
Through persistence, he took the LSAT and applied to nine schools—getting accepted to five. Ultimately, he decided to commit to Harvard Law School—and he’ll never forget all the people who helped him get there. “Throughout this time, people ask me, ‘How did you do it ’ it’s more so how could I not do it when everyone is breaking their backs for me, and pushing me to win.” Staton said. “When you have a support system, you want to give them your best shot. Because as much as you’re investing into yourself, you have others investing into you too.”
24. What can we know about Staton from paragraph 2
A. He received special care from his teacher.
B. He used to have poor academic performance
C. He worked three jobs to help support his family
D. He lost sight of his goal due to family difficulties
25. What does the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Decreased. B. Change. C. Appeared. D. Continued.
26. What made Staton surprised while working as a trash collector
A. The mixed backgrounds of his coworkers
B. The misunderstanding about garbage men
C. The strong encouragement from his coworkers
D. The misfortune of people at the bottom of society
27. What can we infer from the text
A. Courage is resistance to fear and pain. B. Success comes from sweat and support.
C. Achievements are going from failure to failure. D. Progress takes place outside the comfort zone.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了从小成长艰难的Rehan Staton通过努力和他人的支持被哈佛法学院录取的事迹。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He said growing up was tough and he used to struggle in school. One teacher even suggested he switch to a special education class.(他说他成长的过程很艰难,在学校里也很挣扎。一位老师甚至建议他转到特殊教育班)”可知,Staton过去学习成绩很差。故选B。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“after suffering an injury, which ruined the chances of him turning professional in sports”可知推知,在一次受伤后,Staton的大学选择减少了,这毁了他成为职业运动员的机会。故画线词意思是“减少”。A. Decreased.减少;B. Change.改变;C. Appeared.出现;D. Continued.继续。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中““Most of my coworkers were formerly imprisoned. So, it caught me by surprise how much the people on the bottom of the society uplifted me and really wanted me to make something of myself,” he told the reporter.(“我的大多数同事以前都曾入狱。所以,社会底层的人们对我的鼓励让我很惊讶,他们真的希望我有所作为,”他告诉记者)”可知,作为一名垃圾清理工时,来自同事的强烈鼓励让Staton感到惊讶。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Through persistence, he took the LSAT and applied to nine schools—getting accepted to five. Ultimately, he decided to commit to Harvard Law School—and he’ll never forget all the people who helped him get there. “Throughout this time, people ask me, ‘How did you do it ’ it’s more so how could I not do it when everyone is breaking their backs for me, and pushing me to win.” Staton said. “When you have a support system, you want to give them your best shot. Because as much as you’re investing into yourself, you have others investing into you too.”(通过坚持,他参加了法学院入学考试,申请了九所学校——被五所学校录取。 最终,他决定进入哈佛法学院——他永远不会忘记所有帮助他进入哈佛的人。“在这段时间里,人们问我,‘你是怎么做到的? ’重要的是,当每个人都在竭尽全力地支持我,敦促我赢的时候,我怎么能不这么做呢?” Staton说。“当你有一个支持系统时,你会想给他们最好的机会。因为在你为自己投资的同时,别人也在为你投资。”)”可推知,成功来自汗水和支持。故选B。
C

In the late 1950s, a “space race” began between the U. S. and the Soviet Union. Both countries wanted to be the first to send a human into space, including to the moon. In 1961, a Russian astronaut, Yuri Gagarin, orbited Earth. But the space race was not over yet. Glenn’s chance to go into space came on February 20, 1962. By that time, another American, Alan B.

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
32. What does the author say about silence in conversations
A. It implies anger.
B. It promotes friendship.
C. It is culture-specific.
D. It is content-based.
33. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A. The Chinese.
B. The French.
C. The Mexicans.
D. The Russians.
34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate its harm to patients.
D. Make use of its healing effects.
35. What may be the best title for the text
A. Sound and Silence
B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans
D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沉默在不同文化背景下的不同内涵。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. 可知,沉默的含义因文化群体而异,交谈中的沉默也可能表示固执、不安或担忧。所以作者认为谈话中的沉默是有文化特性的。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing可知,许多印第安人珍视沉默,认为这是人与人之间交流的基本组成部分,就像一些传统的中国人和泰国人一样。因此,当一个来自其中一种文化的人说话时突然停下来,暗示说话者想要倾听者在继续之前思考一下所说过的话。所以中国人认为谈话时人们沉默是为了让别人思考。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据末段末句A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients 可知,了解沉默的治疗价值的护士可以利用这种了解来帮助护理病人。所以作者建议护士要用沉默来治疗病人。故选D 。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups”可知, 沉默的含义因文化群体而异。以及先问介绍了在不同文化背景下谈话期间的沉默的不同含义。所以短文的最佳标题是“沉默意味着什么”。故选B 。

Amazing 48, 000 poems have survived from the many Tang dynasty poets. After the Tang, poets struggled ____65____ (establish) a modern style that was not rooted in the glories of the past. Later the style of the Song dynasty did become a popular form. So many people enjoy such ____66____ (popular) because it was more fluent and less rigid than that of the Tang.

Translating Chinese poems into English ____68____ (cause) all sorts of problems. For many years, writers have tried to convey the spirit of poems ____69____ different ways. Although much is lost in translation, the core (核心) meaning can ____70____ (catch) and appreciated.

66. popularity
67. a 68. causes
69. in 70. be caught
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了中国诗歌的特点、风格和内容。
【61题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:说英语的人回顾400年前莎士比亚和弥尔顿的黄金时代时,中国人回顾得更远,1200年前的唐朝是他们的文学黄金时代。结合句意可知表达更远,用far修饰形容词比较级。故填further/farther。
【62题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意:中国诗歌的一个主要特点是是简洁的。系动词is后需要表语从句引导词,从句中不缺成分,用that引导。故填that。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意:每个角色都有一个想法,一个印象,一个形象。重点放在节奏的运用上,有时也放在人物的平衡外观上,以便在视觉上看起来令人愉悦。空格处需要形容词作定语修饰名词look。故填balanced。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意:每个角色都有一个想法,一个印象,一个形象。重点放在节奏的运用上,有时也放在人物的平衡外观上,以便在视觉上看起来令人愉悦。空格处需要副词修饰形容词pleasing。故填visually。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:唐朝以后,诗人们努力建立一种不植根于过去辉煌的现代风格。struggle to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“努力做某事”。故填to establish。
【66题详解】
考查名词。句意:很多人喜欢这样的流行,因为它比唐朝的更流畅,更不僵化。such修饰名词作宾语。故填popularity。
【67题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意:许多诗歌包含了中国历史上的特定事件,这使得理解这些诗歌对非中国人来说是一个挑战。结合句意可知表示理解这些诗歌是一个挑战,challenge以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a。故填a。
【68题详解】
考查时态。句意:汉诗英译引发了各种各样的问题。句子陈述事实用一般现在时,主语是动名词,谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填causes。
【69题详解】
考查介词。句意:多年来,作家们试图用不同的方式来传达诗歌的精神。in different ways意为:用不同的方式。故填in。
【70题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:虽然在翻译过程中损失了很多,但核心意思是可以捕捉和欣赏的。主语the core meaning和动词catch之间是被动关系,需要用被动语态,在情态动词can后用动词原形即可。故填be caught。
第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

When a news came that I was not chosen as a member of the volleyball team, I was so disappointing that I almost decided to give up. Therefore, my best friend Miranda analyzed my problems, pointed out that my laziness and poor preparation led to my failure. From then on, I devote all my spare time to practising playing and consult my teachers about skills every day. When another chance came up, I had got fully prepared, as a result of that, I selected and became one of the most important players in our school team. From this story, I am definitely convinced that the well prepared we are, the more likely we are able to achieve our goal.
【答案】1.删除a
2.disappointing→disappointed
3.Therefore→However
4.pointed→pointing
5.devote→devoted
6.consult→consulting
7.that→which
8.在selected前加was
9.well→better
10.goal→goals
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者因为没有入选校队而决定放弃打排球,作者的朋友阻止了他,朋友说其实是作者的懒惰和缺乏准备造成的这次失败。从此作者努力练习,最终加入了校队。
【详解】1.考查冠词。句意:当消息传来,我没有被选为排球队的一员,我非常失望,几乎决定放弃。news新闻,为不可数名词,所以前面不能加a。故删除a。
2.考查形容词。句意:当消息传来,我没有被选为排球队的一员,我非常失望,几乎决定放弃。disappointing意为“令人失望的”修饰物,disappointed意为“感到失望的”修饰人,根据主语I可知,这里应用disappointed。故将disappointing改为disappointed。
3.考查副词。句意:然而,我最好的朋友Miranda分析了我的问题,指出我的懒惰和准备不足导致了我的失败。根据上下文语境可知,句子表示“然而,我最好的朋友Miranda分析了我的问题,指出我的懒惰和准备不足导致了我的失败。”前后是转折关系,因此副词需要用表转折的however,位于句首,首字母大写。故将Therefore改为However。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,我最好的朋友Miranda分析了我的问题,指出我的懒惰和准备不足导致了我的失败。分析句子可知,句中已经有谓语动词analyzed,point与主语my best friend Miranda之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,因此要用表示主动意义的现在分词形式,作状语。故将pointed改为pointing。
5.考查动词时态。句意:从那时起,我把所有的业余时间都用来练习打球,每天都向老师咨询技巧。根据“From then on(从那时起)”可知,这里应用一般过去时。故将devote改为devoted。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:从那时起,我把所有的业余时间都用来练习打球,每天都向老师咨询技巧。devote sth. to doing sth. 把……献给做某事,consult与practising并列,因此要用v+ing形式。故将consult改为consulting。
7.考查定语从句。句意:当另一个机会来临时,我已经做好了充分的准备,因此,我被选中,成为我们校队最重要的球员之一。这里是定语从句,先行词是前面的句子,of为介词,后面的关系词要用which,介词+关系代词引导的定语从句,指物,只能用which。故将that改为which。
8.考查被动语态。句意:当另一个机会来临时,我已经做好了充分的准备,因此,我被选中,成为我们校队最重要的球员之一。主语I和select之间构成被动关系,因此要用被动语态,结合整篇文章的时态可知,这里应用一般过去时的被动语态。故在selected前加was。
9.考查比较级。句意:从这个故事中,我确信我们准备得越充分,就越有可能实现我们的目标。the+比较级,the+比较级意为“越......越......”。故将well改为better。
10.考查名词。句意:从这个故事中,我确信我们准备得越充分,就越有可能实现我们的目标。根据we和our可知,这里的名词应为复数形式。故将goal改为goals。

Since it first opened after four years of construction in 1937 at a cost of $27 million,the Golden Gate Bridge has made its appearance in films and poetry.
CNN Travel spent a day climbing into and ground the bridge,learning these secrets from the people who know and love it best.
Why is it called the Golden Gate Bridge It’s not golden.
“The Golden Gate Bridge gets its name because it spans what is called the Golden Gate Strait,”said Paolo Cosulich-Schwartz,spokesman for the Golden Gate Bridge,Highway and Transportation District,which operates the bridge It’s a three-mile-long and one-mile-wide body of water that connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay.
What color is the bridge It looks red.
“It’s not red,although you’re not crazy to think so. Visitors all call it red,”said Russell. “Back in the day,the US Navy,then part of the War Department,oversaw the waterways and wanted to paint this bridge black and yellow for high visibility,”said fellow painter Jarrod Bauer. “They ended up mixing paint to create the color International Orange,which is similar to the color of red lead,”he said.
Does the bridge get entirely painted every year
No,and it doesn’t need to be. It’s true that the top coat has been fully repainted over time with new and environmentally-improved International Orange top coats.
Who performs bridge rescues
McVeigh and his fellow ironworkers,the so—called“Cowboys of the Sky”,have that responsibility. McVeigh has lost count of how many troubled souls he’s been called to rescue over the past 17 years.
In September in 2018,the bridge started constructing a suicide(自杀)prevention system,also known as the safety net,to keep people from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s expected to be completed in 2021.

D. It needs to be repainted once a year.

Rehan Staton recently found out he was accepted to Harvard Law School. For him, the sky’s the limit, but it wasn’t always that way.
The 24-year-old college student was raised by a single father who worked three different jobs, breaking his back. But, despite his father’s best efforts, financial burdens steadily mounted. Staton’s study had suffered but he kept pushing himself forward. He said growing up was tough and he used to struggle in school. One teacher even suggested he switch to a special education class.
But with help from a free tutor, Staton’s grades improved. He continued to improve academically while training to be a professional boxer in high school. However, his choices for college dwindled after suffering an injury, which ruined the chances of him turning professional in sports. He was rejected from every school he applied to.
So to help support his family, Staton took a job collecting trash at a local sanitation company, which he said changed his life in ways he never imagined. “Most of my coworkers were formerly imprisoned. So, it caught me by surprise how much the people on the bottom of the society uplifted me and really wanted me to make something of myself,” he told the reporter. “They encouraged me to reapply to college. They had nothing but uplifting words for me and my future.”
Through persistence, he took the LSAT and applied to nine schools—getting accepted to five. Ultimately, he decided to commit to Harvard Law School—and he’ll never forget all the people who helped him get there. “Throughout this time, people ask me, ‘How did you do it ’ it’s more so how could I not do it when everyone is breaking their backs for me, and pushing me to win.” Staton said. “When you have a support system, you want to give them your best shot. Because as much as you’re investing into yourself, you have others investing into you too.”

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
32. What does the author say about silence in conversations
A. It implies anger.
B. It promotes friendship.
C. It is culture-specific.
D. It is content-based.
33. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A. The Chinese.
B. The French.
C. The Mexicans.
D. The Russians.
34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate its harm to patients.
D. Make use of its healing effects.
35. What may be the best title for the text
A. Sound and Silence
B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans
D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
