第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑
A
Profile pictures
Definition
A profile picture is the image that represents a social media account in all its interactions on a platform. Profile pictures are displayed next to the account names on posts, comments and mentions, depending on the platform.
Profile pictures make a visual impact on social media users and potential customers, making it important for businesses to select the right images. For a company, a profile picture should be the best part of that brand’s image, usually combining its logo.
How to select a profile picture
Profile pictures should be easily recognizable as belonging to your business. While using an independent logo is the most common strategy, some brands use a lifestyle image that includes that logo.
Other brands rely more on a person — a recognizable “face of the brand”. If this is your marketing strategy, your profile image should be creative and attractive:
●Use professional photography and design.
●Colorful images are better at catching people’s eyes.
●Photos should be taken in bright light.
●Show a smiling face.
If you have multiple social media outlets, use the same profile picture on every platform to create a consistent brand image.
Above all, use high-quality images. Keep in mind a few basic rules:
●Images should be clear.
●Make images simple and visually striking.
●Always meet requirements of the platform’s image size.
If the platform allows, add a description to your profile picture that includes links to your website.
21．Why is it vital for a business to choose a proper profile picture
A．A profile picture is equal to a business.
B．A profile picture has a visual influence on potential customers.
C．A profile picture is usually displayed next to the account names.
D．A profile picture is often the best part of a company’s brand image.
22．Which principle should be followed when choosing a profile picture
A．Avoid photos taken in bright light.
B．Always use a lifestyle image with the logo.
C．Make images simple as well as visually appealing.
D．Adopt various profile pictures for different social media outlets.
23．Where is the text likely to be found
A．On a business website. B．On a business forum.
C．In an academic report. D．In a school brochure.

Environmental health is defined as the control of the factors in the environment that may have harmful effects on people’s physical, mental, or social well-being. Because natural disasters expose people to danger by bringing up or threatening their immediate environment, effective management of environmental health after a natural disaster is of great importance.
The environmental health measures that must be considered after a natural disaster include the supply of appropriate shelter for individuals or groups of people left homeless, the distribution of safe and accessible water, and the protection and distribution of safe food products and so on.
To effectively manage environmental health during and after a disaster, it is important that a state of preparation is in effect before the event actually occurs. During an emergency, success lately depends on making good, rapid judgment and appropriate response measures. High-level decision makers, therefore, must be familiar with sound measures beforehand and should be given an accurate judgment of the disasters specific effects as quickly as possible.

The recommended environmental health measures have been listed in the order of priority in which they should be taken during an emergency. However, each natural disaster is unique in the degree or type of emergency. In response to any given disaster, decision makers may find it necessary to change the priority assigned to any particular measure.

The first time I ever really noticed a disabled person, I was studying in the third grade.I saw some disabled people before, but I never really knew or cared about what those persons went through.
When a new student arrived in my third grade class, I thought it would just be a common student, but this student was different. His name was Derek and he had autism(孤独症). He sometimes had random outbursts(随意发作) during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that.When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him.After class, we would play jokes on each other, imitating(模仿) Derek, and laughing about it.
Then one day, Derek's mom came to our class and talked with us.She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts--he was trying to communicate.Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets.When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak, the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day. We all understood her meaning.
After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him.We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends.Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us.My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson.
Now whenever I meet a family with a child who's behaving differently, I always remember what I have learned in my third grade class and go up to him or her.
28．What did the author think of the boy before the mother's talk
A．Friendly. B．Humorous. C．Generous. D．Strange.
29．Which order is RIGHT according to the passage
①We got away from him.
②We got on well with Derek.
③Derek arrived in my class.
④Derek's mom talked to us.
A．③①②④ B．③①④② C．①③②④ D．①④③②
30．According to Derek's mother,Derek________________.
A．was too shy to be with others
B．had problems in expressing himself
C．was good at communicating with others
D．didn't like the way others treated him
31．Which is the best title for the passage
A．Living with an open mind B．Believing in yourself
C．Behaving in different ways D．Making friends with the disabled

Have you ever been in a situation where your name is spelled incorrectly on a Starbucks cup even after you spell out every single letter to the barista(咖啡师)？ What would you feel when a room freezes into a sudden silence as soon as you start talking — living with a foreign accent is difficult？
Recently a gentleman in his 40s noticed my accent, and asked me where I was from. Then he inquired about what I majored in and how long I’d been in the US to learn English. After a polite exchange, he said sympathetically that he couldn’t imagine how hard it was for me to deal with reading long English texts. Furthermore, he seemed genuinely puzzled to the fact that I learned to speak English “so well” in an African country. Usually I would have shown my defensive self, pointing out his ignorance and telling him how sad I felt that his education had failed him. But I didn’t.
Sometimes these everyday experiences can drive me crazy. I even think of trying to actively “sound American” as a way to escape the stereotypes(模式化观念) that people have. But if I practiced an American accent enough, would people actually focus on what I say rather than how I say it
Actually, to speak in our accent itself is to tell a story of identity. My housemates and I come from seven different countries: Jamaica, USA, Gambia, Yemen, China, Ecuador and SA．None of us speak native-like English, but we understand each other perfectly and get along harmoniously. If we all sounded the same, I think that would be boring. Together, we make up a cocktail of beautifully crafted accents with seasoned experiences. None of us owes anyone an explanation about why we don’t sound like how you expect us to.
Accepting that people sound different and embracing them for that reason is important. We are a generation of different languages, dialects, and accents. The world is more and more diverse with various cultures, and if that means making extra efforts to understand someone’s accent and learning how to spell their name, that’s just how it’s going to be.
Deal with it.
32．What purpose do the two questions serve in the first paragraph
A．To introduce the topic of the passage. B．To share some unpleasant experiences.
C．To show it’s hard to live with an accent. D．To express disappointment at the service.
33．What does the author probably do
A．An English teacher. B．An international student.
C．A Starbuck waiter. D．A university professor.
34．How did the author probably feel after talking with the gentleman
A．Ashamed. B．Amazed. C．Amused. D．Annoyed.
35．Which of the following might the author most likely agree with
A．Efforts should be made to get rid of accents.
B．We should speak the way we are expected to.
C．Acceptance of accents is needed in the society.
D．Education contributes to native-like English.

Setting goals for yourself can help to focus your energy on something positive instead of worrying about negative thinking. Make goals that are achievable and realistic. You can use a worksheet or create your own. 39 .
Accept change. This will prevent you from slipping into negative thoughts telling you that life is out to get you, when it isn't. Recognize that change is a part of life. Develop positive statements that help you accept change such as, “ 40 ,” or “ Change opens new doors. ”

The Dickensons lived on the eastern coast of America and the three boys, Carl, Simon, and little Ben loved the water. The elder brothers usually helped their dad on his farm and took care of their little brother.
There was an island off shore in the distance. One Saturday the two elder brothers decided to go there for an adventure. When they were leaving, their father said, “Boys, I have to go to town and I want you to take care of Ben. You can carry him together but be careful!” Although they thought Ben was too young to take risks, they still took him.
When the three arrived at the shore, they were lucky to find an old rowboat with oars (桨).Carl and Simon took turns to paddle (划桨)the boat.
Suddenly they noticed the old boat leaking slowly. Carl asked them not to worry and said that they could empty water when they got back. But as the boys neared the island, they struck a rock hidden under the water. It enlarged the hole, more water pouring in. They were glad to be safe on shore!
“How can we get back with the weight of us ” Simon wondered.
Carl answered “You row Ben across, and then come back for me. If we move fast, it won’t sink with only two.” Simon agreed.
The boys started to explore the island. It was flat with many trees. In a couple of hours they had gone all around the island, but when they headed for their boat, they were shocked! Their boat was bumping against trees. The tide was coming in! The island was disappearing!
The boys took a rock and tried to fill it into the hole but they only made it worse because of the old wood. Carl thought a minute “Simon, you take Ben as fast as you can. Then run for the house and see if Dad can come to rescue me. I can climb a tree or something that will give me maybe another hour.” The brothers hugged. Then Carl turned the boat around, helped Ben get in and pushed it as hard as he could toward home
Half an hour passed and only a small part of the island was above water now.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In a few minutes, dad picked up Carl into his motorboat and hugged him.

6．A 7．B
M: Jenny, congratulations!
W: Thank you, Mike.
M: What happened I thought you’d be pretty happy.
W: Oh, it’s just all those years of struggle becoming “an overnight success”. Everyone said to me “Lucky you”, but it’s only hard work that brings me success. And the record company wants the next record with better songs. But I’ve no idea about songs now. In fact, I’m wondering whether I’ve used up all my inspiration.
M: Come on, Jenny. Take it easy. You just need a break.
8．C 9．A 10．B
W: Hi Edward! Haven’t seen you for a long time!
M: Cindy! I never imagined meeting you here! It’s been nearly three years since we left St. Matthew’s Primary School, hasn’t it
W: Yeah. Time flies. How is your middle school life
M: It’s great! I’m in Stowe Middle School and I’m a member of its theater group.

M: Good morning, Ms. Yang. Thank you for accepting my request for an interview. Could I ask you a few questions
W: Sure. Go ahead.
M: Do you use English when you write songs
W: You won't believe it, but actually we use English almost everywhere in our work and life. The songs we listen to and the movies we watch are mostly English ones. The instruments and software we use are all in English.
We communicate with singers abroad in English. English is just too important.
M: Have you ever thought of doing some English songs
W: Yes, but maybe not in China. For one thing, I love Chinese, and also I am afraid my English is not that good.
M: What subjects did you hate or love when you were in school
W: I loved Chinese and physics. But I wasn't very good at biology. I barely passed the exam.
M: What do you want to say to students who dream of being musicians or singers
W: Studying should be the first thing to consider. The music industry is full of risk. Think twice before you step in.
M: Do you mean they should give up this dream
W: No, I just mean the job is full of challenges and it's not easy to be a good musician or singer. But if you are really committed, that's OK. The only way to fail is to give up. Just keep trying, sooner or later you will make your mark.
15．C 16．A 17．C
W: We're looking for someone to sell our new software products. The job requires independence and, above all, a pleasant manner with customers.

W: That's great. What about your experience with software programs
M: Well, I've trained people to use a similar software product for the past two years at my current job, so I really feel I know the product.
W: Hmm, interesting, and your sales experience
M: I've been with my present company for four years and in my present position since two years ago. During the time, I've been named "Salesperson of the Month" three times, and have taken top sales awards several times as well.
W: Good. You are just the person we want.

Bill is my friend. We once shared a renting apartment at college. Living with Bill was fun. We soon found out that we had a lot in common and quickly became close friends. We always had really good discussions about everything: politics, environment, literature, music, and even cooking. But we felt unhappy with each other a couple of times about the housework. Bill often asked me to be more tidy, while I thought life’s too short to worry about things like that.
When we graduated three years ago, we went our separate ways and since then our lives have been very different. I went back to my hometown and got a job as a production assistant for art exhibitions. I like my job because I’m helping young people to get involved in the arts. I’m not earning very much, but I get a lot of personal satisfaction from my job. Bill is earning a lot of money, but he doesn’t see me very often now. When he comes down for the weekend we have laugh, but our lifestyles are so different now that we don’t have very much to talk about.

28．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“but this student was different. His name was Derek and he had autism(孤独症). He sometimes had random outbursts(随意发作) during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that.When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him.（但这个学生是不同的。他叫德里克，患有自闭症。他有时在课堂上突然爆发，我们就站在那里，什么也不做，因为我们不知道他为什么那样做。当他坐在课桌前时，我们就设法躲开他。）”可知，德里克因为患有自闭症和其他学生有所不同，由此可推知，在与德里克的母亲谈话之前，作者觉得这个男孩很奇怪。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When a new student arrived in my third grade class（当一个新学生来到我三年级的班级时）”和“His name was Derek（他的名字叫德里克）”可知，③Derek arrived in my class（德里克来到了我的班级）排在第一位；根据文章第二段“When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him.（当他坐在课桌前时，我们就设法躲开他。）”可知，①We got away from him.（我们躲开他。）排在第二位；根据文章第三段“Then one day, Derek's mom came to our class and talked with us.（然后有一天，德里克的妈妈来到我们班和我们聊天。）”可知，④Derek's mom talked to us.（Derek的妈妈和我们聊天）排在第三位；根据文章第四段“After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him. We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends（在这次谈话之后，没有人试图取笑德里克或逃离他。我们接受了他在课堂上的爆发，他也成为了我们的朋友。）”可知，②We got on well with Derek.（我们与Derek相处融洽）排在第四位。正确的顺序是③①④②。故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts--he was trying to communicate. Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets. When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak, the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day.（她告诉我们，德里克不是随意发脾气，他是想和别人交流。然后她选择了一个志愿者，在他的嘴里塞满了软软的糖果。当我们发现这位志愿者说话有很大的困难时，这位母亲解释说，这就是德里克每天所经历的。）”可知，Derek在表达自己方面有困难。故选B。
31．主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段“Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us. My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson.（和德里克一起上课让我学会了对那些与我们不同的人保持开放的心态。我有一个自闭症同学的经历给了我一个很好的教训。）”可知，作者通过和自闭症同学接触的经历，告诉我们要以开放的心态生活，学会接受别人的不同。故选A。
32．A 33．B 34．D 35．C
32．推理判断题。根据第一段的内容“Have you ever been in a situation where your name is spelled incorrectly on a Starbucks cup even after you spell out every single letter to the barista(咖啡师)？ What would you feel when a room freezes into a sudden silence as soon as you start talking？”（你曾经有过即使你给咖啡师拼出了每个字母，而星巴克杯上你的名字拼写仍然是错误的情况吗？当你一开始说话，房间突然就沉默了，你会感受如何 ）可推理前两句列举生活里发生的两种有关口音不同导致的情况都是为了引出下文living with a foreign accent is difficult（带着外国口音生活是很困难的），故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Then he inquired about what I majored in and how long I’d been in the US to learn English.”可知他询问我的专业是什么和我在美国学习英语多长时间了，由此可作者是一个学生，故选B。
34．细节理解题。第二段倒数第二句“Usually I would have shown my defensive self, pointing out his ignorance and telling him how sad I felt that his education had failed him.”可知作者按照往常的做法会表现出自我防卫的样子，指出他的无知，告诉他作者对他的教育失败感到多么难过。可知作者在跟绅士交谈过后觉得很恼怒，故选D。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Accepting that people sound different and embracing them for that reason is important.”可知作者认为接受人们有口音是很重要的，以及下文“The world is more and more diverse with various cultures, and if that means making extra efforts to understand someone’s accent and learning how to spell their name, that’s just how it’s going to be.”（世界因不同的文化而变得越来越多样化，如果这意味着要用额外的努力去理解一个人的口音，学习如何拼写他们的名字，那么事情就是这样。）可知，作者认为世界文化的多样化要求社会需要接受口音的不同，故选C。
36．G 37．A 38．E 39．F 40．C
36．根据下文“It is important to understand how to prevent negative thinking in order to reduce these negative consequences.”可知，为了减少这些负面影响，了解如何防止消极思维是很重要的，G项（我们的想法会影响我们的日常生活，包括我们的情绪和行为）与下文形成因果关系，说的是防止消极的思维方式之所以重要的原因，故选G。
37．下文“Write a list of everything, no matter how big or small, that you are thankful for.”（将你所感激的一切，无论大小，列成清单）和This will help you to appreciate how many positive things there are in your life.（这会帮助你认识到生活中有很多积极的事情）说明本段内容与“感激”有关，A项中的grateful与下文thankful 和appreciate 一致，故选A。
38．上文“Mindfulness helps us shift our focus off of the negative.”（正念可以帮助我们把注意力从消极的事情上转移走），E项（当人们有了这种能力，他们的抑郁和焦虑就会减少）承接上文，说明正念的作用，故选E。
39．根据上文“Make goals that are achievable and realistic.”可知，要制定切实可行的目标，F项（每天专注于你将要做的事情，朝着你的目标努力）承接上文，并呼应主题句“Treat each day as a new opportunity to achieve a goal”，故选F。
40．根据上文“Develop positive statements that help you accept change such as”（用积极的话语帮助你接受改变，比如）和下文““ Change opens new doors. ””可知，此处举一句积极想法的例子。C项（一切都会按计划进行的）符合语境，与Change opens new doors.是两个并列的积极的想法的例子，故选C。
41．C 42．D 43．D 44．A 45．C 46．A 47．B 48．B 49．C 50．A 51．B 52．A 53．D 54．B 55．C

67．Half an hour passed and only a small part of the island was above water now. The sun was setting; darkness was overtaking Carl. Realizing the island would be flooded, he searched around and selected the strongest and tallest tree. Exhausted and scared, he settled himself in the trunk. Shortly afterwards, just as he was about to climb to the higher branch to avoid the rising tide, he heard a motor noise. He gazed toward home and could see a lantern flashing in the distance, then voices calling.
In a few minutes, dad picked up Carl into his motorboat and hugged him. Tears streaming down his cheek, Carl cried “Thank you for your timely appearance!” On the way back, dad explained, “When I got home from town, I couldn’t find you, so I tracked you to the shore. I went back for the motorboat and then I met Simon and Ben. The rest is history. Son, I am proud of you. What you did in risking your life for your brothers was wonderful and you demonstrated that it meant to truly love someone.”

Profile pictures
Definition
A profile picture is the image that represents a social media account in all its interactions on a platform. Profile pictures are displayed next to the account names on posts, comments and mentions, depending on the platform.
Profile pictures make a visual impact on social media users and potential customers, making it important for businesses to select the right images. For a company, a profile picture should be the best part of that brand’s image, usually combining its logo.
How to select a profile picture
Profile pictures should be easily recognizable as belonging to your business. While using an independent logo is the most common strategy, some brands use a lifestyle image that includes that logo.
Other brands rely more on a person — a recognizable “face of the brand”. If this is your marketing strategy, your profile image should be creative and attractive:
●Use professional photography and design.
●Colorful images are better at catching people’s eyes.
●Photos should be taken in bright light.
●Show a smiling face.
If you have multiple social media outlets, use the same profile picture on every platform to create a consistent brand image.
Above all, use high-quality images. Keep in mind a few basic rules:
●Images should be clear.
●Make images simple and visually striking.
●Always meet requirements of the platform’s image size.
If the platform allows, add a description to your profile picture that includes links to your website.
21．Why is it vital for a business to choose a proper profile picture
A．A profile picture is equal to a business.
B．A profile picture has a visual influence on potential customers.
C．A profile picture is usually displayed next to the account names.
D．A profile picture is often the best part of a company’s brand image.
22．Which principle should be followed when choosing a profile picture
A．Avoid photos taken in bright light.
B．Always use a lifestyle image with the logo.
C．Make images simple as well as visually appealing.
D．Adopt various profile pictures for different social media outlets.
23．Where is the text likely to be found
A．On a business website. B．On a business forum.
C．In an academic report. D．In a school brochure.

Environmental health is defined as the control of the factors in the environment that may have harmful effects on people’s physical, mental, or social well-being. Because natural disasters expose people to danger by bringing up or threatening their immediate environment, effective management of environmental health after a natural disaster is of great importance.
The environmental health measures that must be considered after a natural disaster include the supply of appropriate shelter for individuals or groups of people left homeless, the distribution of safe and accessible water, and the protection and distribution of safe food products and so on.
To effectively manage environmental health during and after a disaster, it is important that a state of preparation is in effect before the event actually occurs. During an emergency, success lately depends on making good, rapid judgment and appropriate response measures. High-level decision makers, therefore, must be familiar with sound measures beforehand and should be given an accurate judgment of the disasters specific effects as quickly as possible.
This book is intended to serve as a guide for those who may be called upon to make emergency decisions after disaster strikes. The recommended environmental health measures have been listed in the order of priority in which they should be taken during an emergency. However, each natural disaster is unique in the degree or type of emergency. In response to any given disaster, decision makers may find it necessary to change the priority assigned to any particular measure.
24．Why is it significant to take effective measures after a natural disaster
A．Victims may be at strike without immediate controls.
B．Victims may be at the risk of losing their properties.
C．Victims may be exposed to poisonous or radioactive minerals.
D．Victims may be threatened by environmental health problems.

B．An organizer to handle domestic disastrous situations.
C．A possible decision-maker to handle a disaster emergency. .

The first time I ever really noticed a disabled person, I was studying in the third grade.I saw some disabled people before, but I never really knew or cared about what those persons went through.
When a new student arrived in my third grade class, I thought it would just be a common student, but this student was different. His name was Derek and he had autism(孤独症). He sometimes had random outbursts(随意发作) during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that.When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him.After class, we would play jokes on each other, imitating(模仿) Derek, and laughing about it.
Then one day, Derek's mom came to our class and talked with us.She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts--he was trying to communicate.Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets.When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak, the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day. We all understood her meaning.
After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him.We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends.Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us.My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson.
Now whenever I meet a family with a child who's behaving differently, I always remember what I have learned in my third grade class and go up to him or her.
28．What did the author think of the boy before the mother's talk

29．Which order is RIGHT according to the passage

A．③①②④ B．③①④② C．①③②④ D．①④③②
30．According to Derek's mother,Derek________________.
A．was too shy to be with others
B．had problems in expressing himself
C．was good at communicating with others

Have you ever been in a situation where your name is spelled incorrectly on a Starbucks cup even after you spell out every single letter to the barista(咖啡师)？ What would you feel when a room freezes into a sudden silence as soon as you start talking — living with a foreign accent is difficult？
Recently a gentleman in his 40s noticed my accent, and asked me where I was from. Then he inquired about what I majored in and how long I’d been in the US to learn English. After a polite exchange, he said sympathetically that he couldn’t imagine how hard it was for me to deal with reading long English texts. Furthermore, he seemed genuinely puzzled to the fact that I learned to speak English “so well” in an African country. Usually I would have shown my defensive self, pointing out his ignorance and telling him how sad I felt that his education had failed him. But I didn’t.
Sometimes these everyday experiences can drive me crazy. I even think of trying to actively “sound American” as a way to escape the stereotypes(模式化观念) that people have. But if I practiced an American accent enough, would people actually focus on what I say rather than how I say it
Actually, to speak in our accent itself is to tell a story of identity. My housemates and I come from seven different countries: Jamaica, USA, Gambia, Yemen, China, Ecuador and SA．None of us speak native-like English, but we understand each other perfectly and get along harmoniously. If we all sounded the same, I think that would be boring. Together, we make up a cocktail of beautifully crafted accents with seasoned experiences. None of us owes anyone an explanation about why we don’t sound like how you expect us to.
Accepting that people sound different and embracing them for that reason is important. We are a generation of different languages, dialects, and accents. The world is more and more diverse with various cultures, and if that means making extra efforts to understand someone’s accent and learning how to spell their name, that’s just how it’s going to be.
Deal with it.
32．What purpose do the two questions serve in the first paragraph
A．To introduce the topic of the passage. B．To share some unpleasant experiences.
C．To show it’s hard to live with an accent. D．To express disappointment at the service.
33．What does the author probably do
A．An English teacher. B．An international student.
C．A Starbuck waiter. D．A university professor.
34．How did the author probably feel after talking with the gentleman
A．Ashamed. B．Amazed. C．Amused. D．Annoyed.
35．Which of the following might the author most likely agree with
A．Efforts should be made to get rid of accents.
B．We should speak the way we are expected to.
C．Acceptance of accents is needed in the society.
D．Education contributes to native-like English.

The Dickensons lived on the eastern coast of America and the three boys, Carl, Simon, and little Ben loved the water. The elder brothers usually helped their dad on his farm and took care of their little brother.
There was an island off shore in the distance. One Saturday the two elder brothers decided to go there for an adventure. When they were leaving, their father said, “Boys, I have to go to town and I want you to take care of Ben. You can carry him together but be careful!” Although they thought Ben was too young to take risks, they still took him.
When the three arrived at the shore, they were lucky to find an old rowboat with oars (桨).Carl and Simon took turns to paddle (划桨)the boat.
Suddenly they noticed the old boat leaking slowly. Carl asked them not to worry and said that they could empty water when they got back. But as the boys neared the island, they struck a rock hidden under the water. It enlarged the hole, more water pouring in. They were glad to be safe on shore!
“How can we get back with the weight of us ” Simon wondered.
Carl answered “You row Ben across, and then come back for me. If we move fast, it won’t sink with only two.” Simon agreed.
The boys started to explore the island. It was flat with many trees. In a couple of hours they had gone all around the island, but when they headed for their boat, they were shocked! Their boat was bumping against trees. The tide was coming in! The island was disappearing!
The boys took a rock and tried to fill it into the hole but they only made it worse because of the old wood. Carl thought a minute “Simon, you take Ben as fast as you can. Then run for the house and see if Dad can come to rescue me. I can climb a tree or something that will give me maybe another hour.” The brothers hugged. Then Carl turned the boat around, helped Ben get in and pushed it as hard as he could toward home
Half an hour passed and only a small part of the island was above water now.

In a few minutes, dad picked up Carl into his motorboat and hugged him.

6．A 7．B
M: Jenny, congratulations!
W: Thank you, Mike.
M: What happened I thought you’d be pretty happy.
W: Oh, it’s just all those years of struggle becoming “an overnight success”. Everyone said to me “Lucky you”, but it’s only hard work that brings me success. And the record company wants the next record with better songs. But I’ve no idea about songs now. In fact, I’m wondering whether I’ve used up all my inspiration.
M: Come on, Jenny. Take it easy. You just need a break.
8．C 9．A 10．B
W: Hi Edward! Haven’t seen you for a long time!

W: Yeah. Time flies. How is your middle school life
M: It’s great! I’m in Stowe Middle School and I’m a member of its theater group.
W: Really The theater group is quite popular. It puts on very great plays and musicals.
M: Thanks. We have to practice very hard for every show. But I like it and it’s also great fun to go to the theater frequently and enjoy plays by famous artists.

M: Good morning, Ms. Yang. Thank you for accepting my request for an interview. Could I ask you a few questions
W: Sure. Go ahead.
M: Do you use English when you write songs
W: You won't believe it, but actually we use English almost everywhere in our work and life. The songs we listen to and the movies we watch are mostly English ones. The instruments and software we use are all in English.
We communicate with singers abroad in English. English is just too important.
M: Have you ever thought of doing some English songs
W: Yes, but maybe not in China. For one thing, I love Chinese, and also I am afraid my English is not that good.
M: What subjects did you hate or love when you were in school
W: I loved Chinese and physics. But I wasn't very good at biology. I barely passed the exam.
M: What do you want to say to students who dream of being musicians or singers
W: Studying should be the first thing to consider. The music industry is full of risk. Think twice before you step in.
M: Do you mean they should give up this dream
W: No, I just mean the job is full of challenges and it's not easy to be a good musician or singer. But if you are really committed, that's OK. The only way to fail is to give up. Just keep trying, sooner or later you will make your mark.

W: We're looking for someone to sell our new software products. The job requires independence and, above all, a pleasant manner with customers.

W: That's great. What about your experience with software programs
M: Well, I've trained people to use a similar software product for the past two years at my current job, so I really feel I know the product.
W: Hmm, interesting, and your sales experience
M: I've been with my present company for four years and in my present position since two years ago. During the time, I've been named "Salesperson of the Month" three times, and have taken top sales awards several times as well.
W: Good. You are just the person we want.

57．考查时态语态。句意：那时候，跑步对我来说是无聊和痛苦的。根据At that time可知，本句时态用一般过去时，又因为consider和running之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，本空用提示动词的一般过去时的被动语态。故填was considered。
58．考查固定短语。句意：有时，我不得不不顾疼痛继续跑到终点线。分析句意可知，这里用提示动词的现在分词作定语或名词作定语构成固定短语the finishing/finish line表示“终点线”。故填finishing/finish。
59．考查介词。句意：当我年轻时开始工作时，我意识到锻炼应该成为我们生活方式的一部分。根据下文的age可知，此处用介词at构成固定短语at a young age表示“很年轻的时候；小小年纪”。故填at。
60．考查形容词最高级。句意：看看那段时间的选择，跑步似乎是最简单的运动形式。分析句意再根据有the可知，此处用提示形容词的最高级形式表示“最简单的运动”。故填simplest。
61．考查词性转换。句意：但有时这对我来说太多了，我很容易累。分析句式结构可知，这里用提示形容词的副词形式作状语修饰形容词tired。故填easily。
62．考查连词。句意：我也注意到炎热的天气也会影响我的表现。分析句式结构可知，从句中不缺少成分，所以用that来引导主语从句构成固定句型It has come to my notice that表示“我注意到……”。故填that。
63．考查非谓语动词。句意：根据我的经验，大雨过后是最好的天气。分析句意再根据on可知，这里用提示动词的过去分词作状语表示被动含义。故填Based。
64．考查冠词。句意：所以每当下大雨的时候，我都会记下来，然后决定以后是否去跑步。分析句意可知，这里用冠词a构成固定短语go for a run表示“去跑步”。故填a。
65．考查名词复数。句意：不用说，跑步有它的好处。分析句意可知，benefit在本句中是可数名词，所以这里用提示名词的复数形式表示复数含义。故填benefits。

67．Half an hour passed and only a small part of the island was above water now. The sun was setting; darkness was overtaking Carl. Realizing the island would be flooded, he searched around and selected the strongest and tallest tree. Exhausted and scared, he settled himself in the trunk. Shortly afterwards, just as he was about to climb to the higher branch to avoid the rising tide, he heard a motor noise. He gazed toward home and could see a lantern flashing in the distance, then voices calling.
In a few minutes, dad picked up Carl into his motorboat and hugged him. Tears streaming down his cheek, Carl cried “Thank you for your timely appearance!” On the way back, dad explained, “When I got home from town, I couldn’t find you, so I tracked you to the shore. I went back for the motorboat and then I met Simon and Ben. The rest is history. Son, I am proud of you. What you did in risking your life for your brothers was wonderful and you demonstrated that it meant to truly love someone.”
