二、 阅读理解
It is widely known that any English conversation begins with the weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson’s famous comment that “When two Englishmen meet, their first talk is of weather. ” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators(评论员) fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it. ” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, “because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena(现象). The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty. ” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.
1. The author mentions Dr. Johnson’s comment to show that ______.
A. most commentators agree with Dr. Johnson
B. Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observation
C. the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D. English conversations usually start with the weather
2. What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to
A. A social trend.
B. An emotional state.
C. A historical concept.
D. An unknown phenomenon.
3. According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that ______.
A. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B. there is nothing special about the English weather
C. the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D. English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
4. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage
A. To explain what English weather-speak is about.
B. To analyze misconceptions about the English weather.
C. To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.
D. To convince people that the English weather is changeable.
三、七选五
Want to Be Happy at Work Care Less About It
A friend recently told me that she was ready to quit her job,explaining to me that there were big changes at her workplace and no way she could perform all her tasks on time. 1
For many of us introverts(内向的人),our professional efforts and results are a reflection of ourselves and our dedication to our employer.Because we aren’t the social butterflies of the office,we feel a need to prove to our superiors that we are smart,hard-working,and dependable.For people like me and my close-to-quitting friend,the concept of giving anything less than our best doesn’t cross our mind.
2 We are disappointed and frustrated when we can’ t always achieve those standards.
It’s great to make a difference at work,but you have to take care of yourself first.Putting in slightly less effort in times of high stress doesn’t mean you don’t care about your job. 3 Consider this saying: The perfect is the enemy of the good.When you reduce the pressure on yourself to attain perfection,you can flow more quickly and easily through your tasks. 4
Here is my advice for you when you find yourself in the midst of panic.
First,ask yourself: what’s the worst that will happen if I miss a deadline by one day
5 Write down the specific tasks that are causing the feelings of stress.Talk it out with a friend or family member.You might discover that the situation isn’t as horrible as you thought.By approaching your tasks one at a time you can make real progress.
A.We set high standards for ourselves.
B.It means you care about yourself more.
C.The pressure on yourself should’t be ignored.
D.You might achieve more when you care less.
E.As her friend who’d been in a similar situation,I wanted to help.
F.Next,slow down and analyze what,precisely,is stressing you out.
G.Freedom from the weight of perfection can be creatively liberating.
四、书面表达
假定你是李华,你的英国朋友John来信询问中国人过春节的风俗习惯。请你结合自己家乡的实际情况给他回信,内容包括:

注意:
1.词数80左右;
2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯;
3.信的开头已为你写好,不计入总词数。
Dear John,

一、完成句子
1.nothing better than
2.When talking about the Chinese women’s volleyball team
3.Not everyone agrees/Everyone doesn’t agree
4.In other words
二、 阅读理解
1.D。推理判断题。本文第一句话就给出了答案, 作者提到Dr. Johnson的评论旨在说明英国人见面总是以谈论天气开始, 故答案为D项。
2.B。词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句话“……那些不常见、难以预料的天气在不列颠群岛几乎是不被人知道的”可知, 英国的天气根本不令人兴奋, 随之而来的一种情绪也是几乎不能被理解的。obsession可以理解成是一种谈论天气的“强迫症”, 故它是一种情绪的状态, 所以答案为B项。
3.D。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Jeremy所说的话可知, 他反驳Bryson的观点, 他认为英格兰的天气是多变而又不确定的, 这吸引着英国人和外来者, 所以答案为D项。
4.A。目的意图题。根据第一段的介绍和最后一段的总结可知, 本文主要是解释英国人的weather-speak到底是关于什么的。所以答案为A项。B、C两项陈述有误, D项“使人们信服英国的天气是多变的”不是文章的主要谈论内容。
三、七选五
1.E 文章首段叙述作者的一个朋友准备辞职和辞职的原因,故E项 (作为她以前有过类似处境的朋友,我想帮帮她。)符合语境。
2.A 下文写到“当我们不能总是达到那些标准时,我们感到失望和沮丧”。A项(我们为自己设定了很高的标准。)符合行文逻辑。
3.B 上句表示“在压力很大的时候,减少一点点努力并不意味着你不关心你的工作”,故B项(这意味着你更关心自己。)符合要求。
4.G 根据上文中的信息词 perfect以及 perfection可知,G项符合语境。易误选C项。因为C项中的 pressure与此空前一句中的pressure照应。尽管如此,也不能选C项。
5.F 上文介绍了作者的第一条建议,故F项(下一步,放慢速度,分析一下是什么使你非常紧张。)符合行文逻辑。
四、书面表达
