Paying attention to what people don't (42)______ can teach us something important about their culture. Their taboo topics give us clues about what they value, respect or even fear. Topics that are considered too personal or too controversial(有争议的) may also be avoided.

43.A. 根据后面一句话中 also avoid .…,此处应填的词应该与avoid 同义,因此用rule out,意思是“排除”。take to 意为“喜欢”;touch upon 意为“谈及”;focus on 意为“关注”。
44.A. 避免这些话题,是因为这些话题会引起强烈的反对意见和争论,所以用arguments,表示“争论”。
45.B. also表示后面的话题也是美国人禁忌的话题,因此谈论这类话题会让他们感到不自在。relaxed 表示“放松的;自在的”。
46.D. 既然个人收入年龄、健康等话题也是美国人禁忌的话题,所以这里用Instead表示“相反,他们情愿闲聊天气、体育、共同的兴趣爱好等话题。”

48.C. 与前一段的personal income,ageor health对应,这些美国人的禁忌话题都属 privacy(隐私)的范畴。

50.B. 与后面的in people's minds对应,表示“没有成文的规定”,即:there are no written rules.
51.B. 前面提到美国及欧洲许多国家都不能谈论隐私，而这里说在巴西，几乎任何话题都可以谈论,所以这里是表示转折，用however。

53.C. 本句意为“甚至表达自己喜欢一个足球队胜过另一个队都会是危险的。”这里是进一步说明足球是巴西人的禁忌话题。
54.A. 本题的解题关键是理解本段最后一句话Bragging about your accomplishments will only make you the target of other people's jokes.(吹嘘你的成就只能让你成为别人嘲笑的目标。)这里的accomplishments与achievements同义，所以选A。
55.C. 既然澳大利亚人禁忌夸耀自己的成就,那么当众吹嘘自己的成就就会成为他人开玩笑的目标,会被人嘲笑。target表示“目标”。
Section B共22分
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Every country has certain cultural patterns making it unique. Of course, habits and customs between cultures and countries tend to overlap(重叠).The popularity of social media, for instance, ignores borders and breaks down cultural differences. Technology has made the world a much smaller and culturally similar place. However, when looking at a foreign country, we will always find differences between our traditions and theirs Young Italians and young Americans, for example, though alike in many respects, have also some pronounced differences, especially when it comes to work, pastimes and sports.
Most American teens have part-time jobs through high school and college. Youths in Italy tend not to. The reasons behind this are multifaceted. It is, to begin with rather hard in Italy to find the type of part-time jobs students usually take up. Moreover, there is also a different cultural attitude to take into consideration, especially when thinking of certain parts of Italy. Young Italians like to enjoy life to the full and feel there will be time to work once they become adults, hence the lack of interest in finding odd jobs while still in school. Like the old saying goes, some Italians work to live, while some Americans often live to work.
In a lot of ways, young Italians and Americans spend their free time in a similar fashion. Listening to music, watching movies, hanging out, practicing sports and surfing the Internet are all common ways to pass some free time. Italians, especially, make a point of going out and being social, often choosing between pizzerie or birrerie (place for pizza or beer), which stay open late. Italians often pile into a couple of cars and go out in a big group. In general, American teens participate in a lot of extracurricular(课外的)activities, many often through school, while Italians may not take part in so many.
When going out, Italian teens tend to meet and gather on the streets of their cities on towns, something not as common in the United States, especially in highly populated areas. This very Italian habit can be linked to the urban arrangement of Italian towns. Many of them date back thousands of years and feature central piazzas(广场) and areas built around historical sites that have now become gathering places for the young. if you're in Italy, don't be surprised by the sight of hundreds gathered in a piazza or on the street, laughing and drinking the night away.
56. The passage is mainly about_____.
A. the unique lifestyles shared by American and Italian teens
B. the relationship between young people of America and Italy
C. some customs and habits of the Americans and Italians
D. some differences in tradition between young Americans and Italians
57.By saying “some Italians work to live, while some Americans often live to work”, the author most probably wants to tell us that _____.
A. Italians have a better life attitude toward working
B. Americans are more diligent and thus live a better life
C. Americans and Italians both find it hard to locate a satisfying job
D. Italians and Americans have different choices regarding work
58. According to paragraph 3, which of the following statements is true
A. American teens practice sports and surf the Internet to pass time.
B. Italian youth take an active part in extracurricular activities.
C. American teens like to drive out and social together in big groups.
D. Italian youth enjoy pizza and beer because they are cheap.
59. If there is one more paragraph in this passage, what will it most probably be about
A. The working conditions of the young Americans and Italians.
B. The differences in practicing sports between teens of the two nations.
C The central piazzas and areas built around historical sites in Italy.
D. The urban arrangement of the highly populated American cities.
56.D. 所涉内容在第一段中,注意选项C包括了所有美国人和意大利人,并未点明青少年，范围过大,因此不是正确答案。
57.D. 根据文章第二段内容可推断虽然是比较两种对工作的不同的态度,但作者并没有提出孰优孰劣,可首先排除前两个选项。
58.A. 所涉内容在第三段中,注意分辨各个选项的主语,对照文章理清这些究竟是哪国少年的放松活动，即可找到答案。
59.B. 根据第一段最后一句 Young Italians and young Americans, for example, though alike in many respects, have also some pronounced differences, especially when it comes to work, pastimes and sports. 可知本文将就三个方面进行比较,其中的体育方面至文末还未提及。

(C)
Sometime in 1885 or 1886,Arthur Conan Doyle was doodling(信手乱涂)on a sheet of paper. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's Auguste Dupin, he had the idea for a “consulting detective", who would also use “the Rules of Evidence" to catch his man. But what would he be called “Ormond Sacker” “Sherrinford Holmes”
Had he settled on either of these alternatives, the modern-day fan clubs would be able to look closely through their magnifying glasses(放大镜) at that historic piece of paper at an exhibition opening at the Museum of London on Friday.
Sherlock Holmes: The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die is the first major show for the great detective since a Holmes display graced the Festival of Britain in 195. It's a winningly silly title: there are an unlimited number of men who never lived and wil never die, and a very large number of fictional creations of whom the same could also be said. But you can see what they are getting at.
It is likely that the show should take place at the Museum of London. Holmes occupied perhaps London's most famous imaginary address---221B Baker Street---and Dr. Watson wrote that his "knowledge of the byways of London was extraordinary”. In the form of his “Baker Street Irregulars", he even employed a street-level spy-network o the homeless. London is often described as another character in the stories.
But, as historian David Cannadine points out in a fine, questioning essay in a new book accompanying the exhibition, Holmes's London is actually only sketchily imagined in the stories. Conan Doyle grew up in Edinburgh, was educated in Lancashire and Austria, and lived in central London for less than a year before moving first to South Norwood, then in short order to Hindhead in Surrey and later to Sussex. To move Holmes around the capital, Conan Doyle used contemporary books of street maps and the London Post Office Directory. And he made all sorts of mistakes.
Also, before fan-fiction as we think of it now got under way, the Holmes stories led to a strange academic version of fan-fiction: Holmesians, taking a scholarly interest in the texts almost on the assumption that Holmes and Watson were real historical characters.
It should be noted that Conan Doyle himself didn't sweat the details. Everything from the location of Watson's old war wound to his marital situation and the address of his consulting room was distinctly patchy(东拼西凑的).
Holmes is, or might as well be, a magician. In this respect, the modern BBC TV adaptations---whose leaps of tricks I've seen complained about -- are in keeping with Conan Doyle's originals.
He's not the product, not any more, of a single author. And he's never going to be on the reader's level---nor that of his friend Dr. Watson. Conan Doyle's consulting detective is, made by the imaginations of others, a sort of god. And like all the best gods, he is--- as the new exhibition's title indicates---both imaginary and everlasting.
63.What do Auguste Dupin and Sherlock Holmes share in common according to the author
A. They are both fictional detectives that lived in London.
B. They are both characters created by Arthur Conan Doyle.
C. They both use “the Rules of Evidence" to solve cases.
D. They both use magnifying glasses.
64. According to the passage, the sentence “Holmes's London is actually only sketchily imagined in the stories" in paragraph 5 means that ______.
A. London is an important setting in the Sherlock Holmes stories
B. the city of London in the novel is different from how it really is
C. London is home to the two main characters, Sherlock and Watson
D. the author Conan Doyle made a lot of mistakes when in London
65. The word “Holmesians" in paragraph 6 probably refers to______.
A. super fans of Holmes
B. scholars interested in Holmes
C. studies about Holmes
D. mysteries concerning Holmes
66 What is the author's opinion of Sherlock Holmes
A. He is the most successful imaginary detective in history.
B. He is a god who will be loved by readers of all the time.
C. He is an imaginary character created both by Doyle and readers
D. He has an extraordinary talent as a detective who gains great popularity.
63.C. 第一段中有唯一处提到过Conan Doyle 创作 Holmes 的灵感来自Auguste Dupin关键提示在 who would also use “the Rules of Evidence" to catch his man 中。
64.B. 该句所在段落主要讲述了ConanDoyle在伦敦只居住了很短的时间,所以他描述伦敦时全靠地图帮忙,可由此推断答案。本题难点可能是段落中提到的多个地名比较陌生。
65.A. 虽然有academic, scholarly 等形容词干扰, 但引起 Holmesian 兴趣的仍是 fan-fiction,由此可推断本单词意为Holmes 迷。
66.C. 本题是主题,主要根据本文最后一段中He's not the product, not any more, of a single author. And he's never going to be on the reader's level--- nor that of his friend Dr Watson. Conan Doyle's consulting detective is, made by the imaginations of others, a sort of god. 推断。

IV. Summary Writing 共10分
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage. Use your own words as far as possible.
The Power of iPhone
Though Apple released data last week indicating iPhone sales may, at last, be slowing, one CEO recently explained why he thinks the smartphone has overturned our expectations of basically everything.
Harry West is the CEO of the global design and strategy firm Frog, which works with its clients “to anticipate(预料)the future". In a conversation with The Huffington Post at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, West credited Apple with transforming the way companies approach consumers and their own employees.
“Way back in the day,” West said, companies marketed their products as “military spec” and “industrial" to take advantage of the impression that these seemingly specialized products were of higher quality than consumer versions. In the 70s, 80s and 90s, this slowly gave way to the rise of “professional" products adapted to businesses and business people.
“That all changed after the coming of the iPhone in 2007," he said. “Consumers began to use this amazing digital interface (界面), and they liked it. They used it ii their personal life and at home, and when they went back to work, they encountered this terrible 'professional’ or 'industrial’, or 'enterprise’ product, and they realized how old-fashioned and inconvenient it was. They demanded change."
That massive shift foreshadowed the downfall of BlackBerry and the weakening of the power of it departments - and it also forced companies to update the work experience of their employees, according to West.
“Companies need to hire millennials(千禧世代,一般指在1980年至2000年之间出生的人), and millennials refuse to work in these outdated, backward systems," he said. “Not only is it uncomfortable, but it also indicates something wrong about the company. If your work experience is that old-fashioned, then what else is wrong in the company "
71._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Harry West, the CEO of Frog, believes that the coming of iPhone has changed the expectations of today's consumers and employees. Consumers want to use modern and convenient digital products like iPhone both at home and work; while companies are forced to improve the outdated work experience of their employees.
