We are informed that the museum won’t open this Sunday due to some special reasons. And we are going to meet on the playground instead of the school gate at eight o’clock tomorrow morning. We will go directly there by bus. You’d better wear comfortable shoes for long walks in the museum. Please bring a notebook with you and make some notes. We will have a discussion about it in the class meeting next Mon-day. Oh, I nearly forget to remind you of the rules. Don’t take pictures of the cultural relics. But if you do want to take a picture, you can do that in front of the museum. And nobody is allowed to touch anything there, or else they will be fined. Have a nice weekend!

Where to Eat in Kuala Lumpur
Great restaurants in Kuala Lumpur offer a genuine global dining experience. Whether you are looking to enjoy hearty comfort food or some local delicacies, the city’s dining scene satisfies all comers.
Mum’s Place
Nothing brings more comfort than mom’s cooking. With recipes inspired by the owners’ mother, this restaurant brings you Nyonya dishes that are truly Malaysian. Located in the district of Damansara Perdana, Mum’s Place is a neighbourhood restaurant with its main customers from residents nearby. Some of the best dishes include cencaru fish, devil curry chicken and beef rendang.
Cantaloupe
Located about 20 minutes from downtown Malacca, it is a home-based eatery with about 10 tables manned by four operators. Unlike most restaurants, food is self-service here, with dishes placed on catering pans for customers to choose from. It serves traditional Malaysian dishes with distinct Chinese influences. You will find rice dumplings and chicken rendang among the offerings. It has two branches in the city. Their dishes sell out fast, so it’d be best to head there before lunch time.
YumYum Restaurant
Situated in the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel, Yum Yum Restaurant is among the locals’ many favourite spots to dine at. It offers an interesting Nyonya and Thai food with Chinese influences that make them stand out. The classic dishes include sambal petai prawns, assam fish head and Yum Yum egg. It can get crowded here, so it’d be best to head there early or call ahead for reservations.
Troika Sky Dining
Offering fine dining, the impressive Troika Sky Dining undoubtedly stands out from the pack. Set on the 23rd floor of Tower B of The Troika, it goes without saying that the cloud-skimming views here are something else entirely. The food is what helped it stand out. It serves award-winning French, Italian, Greek, and Spanish food and adventurous menu of high-end pizzas and pasta.
21．What do Mum’s Place and Yum Yum Restaurant have in common

21．细节理解题。根据文章Mum’s Place部分的“Nothing brings more comfort than mom’s cooking. With recipes inspired by the owners’ mother, this restaurant brings you Nyonya dishes that are truly Malaysian.(没有什么比妈妈做的菜更让人舒服的了。这家餐厅的食谱灵感来自老板的母亲，为您带来真正的马来西亚娘惹菜。)”以及YumYum Restaurant部分的“Situated in the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel, Yum Yum Restaurant is among the locals’ many favourite spots to dine at. It offers an interesting Nyonya and Thai food with Chinese influences that make them stand out.(坐落在美丽的香格里拉大酒店，Yum Yum餐厅是当地人最喜欢的用餐地点之一。它提供有趣的娘惹菜和泰国菜，受到中国的影响，使它们脱颖而出。)”可知Mum’s Place and Yum Yum Restaurant的共同之处在于这两家餐厅都提供娘惹菜。故选B项。
22．细节理解题。根据文章Troika Sky Dining部分的“It serves award-winning French, Italian, Greek, and Spanish food and adventurous menu of high-end pizzas and pasta.(它提供一流的法国，意大利，希腊，和西班牙的食物和冒险菜单的高端披萨和意大利面。)”可知Troika Sky Dining提供西方食物。故选D项。
23．细节理解题。根据文章Cantaloupe部分的“Unlike most restaurants, food is self-service here, with dishes placed on catering pans for customers to choose from.(与大多数餐馆不同的是，这里的食物是自助的，盘子里的菜供顾客选择。)”可知Cantaloupe的特殊之处在于它是一家自助餐厅。故选A项。
B
“Are you all right ” the student asked as she passed me in the hallway. I was in the final stretch of last work before writing my essay. The student, who was 4 years behind me in the same Ph.D．program, went on to say, “I see people from your group working so much, putting in extra hours, even at night.” It set me thinking a lot.
As a first-year Ph.D．student, I was lucky to have kind and understanding advisers. But I felt overwhelming pressure to become a perfect student. I kept finding a million reasons why I was coming into graduate school at a disadvantage compared with my peers. As a student from Colombia, I had been educated at institutions my professors and colleagues had never heard of, I spoke with an accent that was hard to understand, and I was older than most of the people in my cohort.
I noticed that most of the people around me seemed to be working all the time. I began to spend many weekday nights and weekends in the lab. But my strategy didn’t work. I crashed from burnout. The tiredness took a toll on my productivity and motivation. During one of many mindless Sundays in the office, I realized I’d fallen into the trap of assuming my colleagues’ work habits were the standard for belonging and being worthy of respect — and it wasn’t sustainable.
From then on, I stopped counting the number of work hours I was putting in, leaving space every day for exercising and doing activities that I enjoyed. Eventually, I realized nobody was keeping track of the amount of time I spent in the lab anyway and it wasn’t something I needed to worry about.
I noticed that having more time for myself made me more rested and motivated when I went back to work. I continued quietly along this path for years, until that conversation in the hallway. So, when I ran into her again, weeks later, I told her that even though I was feeling a lot of pressure in the final year of my Ph.D．, I was putting my mental and physical health first and wasn’t working overtime. I also began to talk with other students about how quality sleep, physical activity, healthy eating, and reasonable work hours were a daily part of my routine.
24．What can we learn about the student
A．He spent much time in lab work. B．He had finished the Ph.D．program.
C．He was concerned about the author. D．He was putting in extra hours at night.
25．How does the author feel about his work at first
A．Anxious. B．Ambitious. C．Dissatisfied. D．Enthusiastic.
26．Which can replace the underlined phrase “took a toll on” in Para. 3
A．Added fuel to. B．Had a negative impact on.
C．Cast new light on. D．Depended too much on.
27．What does the author intend to tell us
A．A healthy work-life balance counts.
B．A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.
C．Fitting in doesn’t mean working overtime.
D．Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
【答案】24．C 25．A 26．B 27．A
【导语】本文为夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己博士生的经历，讨论了在研究生院时，如何避免过度工作和压力，保持身心健康，提高个人工作效率。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段““Are you all right ” the student asked as she passed me in the hallway. I was in the final stretch of last work before writing my essay. The student, who was 4 years behind me in the same Ph.D. program, went on to say, “I see people from your group working so much, putting in extra hours, even at night.”(“你没事吧 ”那个学生在走廊里从我身边经过时问道。在写论文之前，我正处于最后一项工作的最后阶段。那个比我晚4年读博士的学生接着说：“我看到你们组的人工作很努力，加班加点，甚至在晚上也加班。”)”可知，这个学生关注作者的情况，询问作者身体状况，所以是很关心作者。故选C项。
25．推理判断题。根据第二段“As a first-year Ph.D. student, I was lucky to have kind and understanding advisers. But I felt overwhelming pressure to become a perfect student. I kept finding a million reasons why I was coming into graduate school at a disadvantage compared with my peers. As a student from Colombia, I had been educated at institutions my professors and colleagues had never heard of, I spoke with an accent that was hard to understand, and I was older than most of the people in my cohort.(作为一名一年级的博士生，我很幸运有善良、善解人意的导师。但我感到了成为一个完美学生的巨大压力。我一直在找无数个理由，为什么我进入研究生院时，与同龄人相比处于劣势。作为一名来自哥伦比亚的学生，我在教授和同事们从未听说过的机构接受教育，我说话的口音让人听不懂，而且我比同龄人中的大多数人都年长)”可知，作者在刚开始的时候感到压力很大，担心自己的口音和年龄，所以起初作者是感觉焦虑的。故选A项。
26．词句猜测题。根据前文“I crashed from burnout.(我精疲力竭了)”以及后文“During one of many mindless Sundays in the office, I realized I’d fallen into the trap of assuming my colleagues’ work habits were the standard for belonging and being worthy of respect—and it wasn’t sustainable.(在办公室里度过的一个毫无头脑的星期天里，我意识到自己掉进了一个陷阱，以为同事的工作习惯就是归属感和值得尊重的标准——而这是不可持续的)”可知，作者精疲力竭，在办公室工作时，毫无头绪，所以疲劳影响了他的工作效率，推知took a toll on是“对……有负面影响”之意，和B项意思相近。故选B项。
27．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“From then on, I stopped counting the number of work hours I was putting in, leaving space every day for exercising and doing activities that I enjoyed. Eventually, I realized nobody was keeping track of the amount of time I spent in the lab anyway and it wasn’t something I needed to worry about.(从那时起，我不再计算我投入的工作时间，每天留出时间锻炼和做我喜欢的活动。最终，我意识到没有人记录我在实验室里花了多少时间，这不是我需要担心的事情)”以及最后一段“So, when I ran into her again, weeks later, I told her that even though I was feeling a lot of pressure in the final year of my Ph.D., I was putting my mental and physical health first and wasn’t working overtime. I also began to talk with other students about how quality sleep, physical activity, healthy eating, and reasonable work hours were a daily part of my routine.(所以，几周后，当我再次遇到她时，我告诉她，尽管我在博士学位的最后一年感到压力很大，但我还是把心理和身体健康放在第一位，没有加班。我也开始和其他学生谈论高质量的睡眠、体育锻炼、健康的饮食和合理的工作时间是我日常生活的一部分)”可知，作者主要想要告诉读者健康的工作与生活平衡很重要。故选A项。
C
Television has transformed politics in the United States by changing the way in which information is spread, by altering political campaigns, and by changing citizen’s patterns of response to politics. By giving citizens independent access to the candidates, television reduced the role of the political party in the selection of the major party candidates. By centering politics on the person of the candidate, television accelerated the citizen’s focus on character rather than issues.
Television has altered the forms of political communication as well. The messages on which most of us rely are briefer than they once were. The stump speech, a political speech given by traveling politicians and lasting 1 to 2 hours, which was popular in the nineteenth-century, has given way to the 30-second advertisement and the 10 second “sound bite” in broadcast news. Increasingly the audience for speeches is not that standing in front of the politician but rather the viewing audience who will hear and see a short video of the speech on the news.
In these simplified forms, much of what comprised the traditional political speech of earlier ages has been lost. In 15 or 30 seconds, a speaker cannot establish the historical context that shaped the issue in question, cannot detail the probable causes of the problem, and cannot examine alternative proposals to argue that one is preferable to others. In short videos, politicians assert (断言) but do not argue.
Because television is an intimate (亲密的) medium, speaking through it requires a changed political style that is more conversational, personal, and visual than that of the old-style stump speech. Reliance on television means that increasingly our political world contains memorable pictures rather than memorable words. Schools teach us to analyze words and print. However, in a world in which politics is increasingly visual, informed citizenship requires a new set of skills.
Recognizing the power of television’s pictures, politicians craft televisual, staged events designed to attract media coverage. Much of the political activity we see on television news has been crafted by politicians, their speechwriters, and their public relations advisers for televised consumption. Sound bites in news and answers to questions in debates increasingly sound like advertisements.
28．What do we know about “stump speech” in paragraph 2
A．It’s an event created by politicians to attract media attention.
B．It’s an interactive discussion between two politicians.
C．It’s a kind of political presentation typical of the nineteenth century.
D．It’s a style of speech common to televised political events.
29．It is suggested in paragraph 4 that ________.
A．politicians need to learn to become more personal
B．attractive politicians are favored by citizens
C．citizens tend to favor a politician who analyzed issues
D．citizens need to learn how to evaluate visual political images
30．What can we infer from the passage
A．Political presentations today are more like advertisements than in the past.
B．Politicians today tend to be more familiar with the views of citizens than in the past.
C．Citizens today are less informed about a politician’s character than in the past.
D．Political speeches today focus more on details about issues than in the past.
31．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Television: an Agent of Change in Politics B．Television: a Platform for Political Debate
C．Television: an Alternative to Stump Speech D．Television: a New Medium for Communication
【答案】28．C 29．D 30．A 31．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了电视改变了政治的传播以及交流形式。如今的政治演讲比过去更像广告，知情公民需要一套新的技能来应对。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“The stump speech, a political speech given by traveling politicians and lasting 1 to 2 hours, which was popular in the nineteenth-century, has given way to the 30-second advertisement and the 10 second “sound bite” in broadcast news.(19世纪流行的政治演说，即政治家在旅行中发表的持续1到2小时的政治演说，已经被30秒的广告和10秒的广播新闻“声音片段”所取代)”可知，“政治演说”是一种典型的十九世纪的政治表现。故选C。
29．推理判断题。根据第四段“Reliance on television means that increasingly our political world contains memorable pictures rather than memorable words. Schools teach us to analyze words and print. However, in a world in which politics is increasingly visual, informed citizenship requires a new set of skills.(对电视的依赖意味着，我们的政治世界越来越多地充斥着令人难忘的画面，而不是令人难忘的话语。学校教我们分析文字和印刷品。然而，在一个政治日益可视化的世界里，知情的公民需要一套新的技能)”可推知，公民需要学习如何评价视觉政治形象。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Much of the political activity we see on television news has been crafted by politicians, their speechwriters, and their public relations advisers for televised consumption. Sound bites in news and answers to questions in debates increasingly sound like advertisements.(我们在电视新闻中看到的许多政治活动都是由政治家、他们的演讲撰稿人和他们的公共关系顾问精心策划的，以供电视消费。新闻中的插话和辩论中对问题的回答越来越像广告)”可知，今天的政治演讲比过去更像广告。故选A。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“Television has transformed politics in the United States by changing the way in which information is spread, by altering political campaigns, and by changing citizen’s patterns of response to politics.(电视改变了信息传播的方式，改变了政治运动，改变了公民对政治的反应模式，从而改变了美国的政治)”可知，文章主要说明了电视改变了政治的传播以及交流形式。如今的政治演讲比过去更像广告。A选项“电视：政治变革的推动者”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
There are close to 7, 000 languages spoken on Earth. However, it’s estimated that by the end of this century, up to 50% of them may be lost.
It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental (感情用事的). But is sentimentality really the only motivation for preserving language diversity
Speakers of endangered languages often live in remote areas with unique landform. It is quite common for these languages to distinguish between hundreds more types of plants and animals than those known to modern science. For example, in Southeast Asia, some tribes have discovered the medicinal properties of over sixty-five hundred plant species. This has led to many of landmark achievements in medicine.
It was once believed that the limits of one’s language defined the limits of one’s thought. This theory, called the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis (假说), has been largely rejected in favor of the improved version, which assumes that the language we speak does not set the limits of our thoughts, but it does direct our focus in certain ways. For example, English is a tense-based language. It’s nearly impossible to talk about doing something without specifying the time — i. e. I went to the party(past), I’m going to the party(present), or I’ll go to the party (future). This differs from Chinese, where it’s perfectly reasonable to say, “I go to the party” without defining the “when”. Thus, part of the richness of language is that it allows us to organize the world in so many unique ways.
Some languages categorize the world in ways so different from our own that they are difficult to conceptualize (概念化). The United States employed native Navajo speakers to create a system of message coding during the Second World War. The Japanese were never able to break it, and the “code talkers” are often cited today as having helped decide the outcome of the war.
As we’ve already seen, minority languages are valuable for many practical reasons. In conclusion, I’d say the short answer is yes — dying languages are certainly worth saving!
32．What do people tend to think of minority languages
A．Valueless. B．Time-honored. C．Informal. D．Stable.
33．How can we benefit from endangered languages according to the author
A．We can discover drugs in a much safer way.
B．We don’t have to rely on modern medicine.
C．We can acquire a broad knowledge of nature.
D．We can learn how to protect plants and animals.
34．Why does the author mention the Second World War
A．To correct the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis.
B．To prove the value of minority languages.
C．To show wars’ role in preserving a language.
D．To explain ways to conserve some languages.
35．What would be a suitable title for the text
A．Are majority languages worth valuing
B．Are we willing to save dying languages
C．Should endangered languages be saved
D．Is the future of minority languages bright
【答案】32．A 33．C 34．B 35．C
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了少数语言以及一些濒危的语言被看作是感情用事，但却举例论证濒危的语言对社会在历史上以及现在带来的好处。
32．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental (感情用事的). (人们普遍认为，多数语言往往因有用和促进进步而受到重视，而少数语言则被视为进步的障碍，对它们的重视主要被视为感情用事的。)”可知，少数语言被视为进步的障碍，是没有价值的，故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“For example, in Southeast Asia, some tribes have discovered the medicinal properties of over sixty-five hundred plant species. This has led to many of landmark achievements in medicine. (例如，在东南亚，一些部落已经发现了6500多种植物的药用特性。这带来了医学上许多里程碑意义的成就。)”可知，一些濒危的语言可以帮助人们在特定的领域拓宽知识，故我们可以通过濒危的语言来拓宽自然的知识，故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Some languages categorize the world in ways so different from our own that they are difficult to conceptualize (概念化). The United States employed native Navajo speakers to create a system of message coding during the Second World War. The Japanese were never able to break it, and the “code talkers” are often cited today as having helped decide the outcome of the war. (一些语言以与我们截然不同的方式将世界分类，以至于很难将它概念化。二战期间，美国故用了以纳瓦霍语为母语的人来创建一个信息编码系统。日本人从来没能破解它，今天人们常常引用“密码通话员”，因为它帮助了决定这场战争的结果。)”可知，文章提到二战是为了证明纳瓦霍语在二战中起到的关键性的作用，使得日本人无法破解，从而带来了战争的胜利，故其是为了证明一些少数语言的价值，故选B。
35．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental (感情用事的). But is sentimentality really the only motivation for preserving language diversity ( 人们普遍认为，多数语言往往因有用和促进进步而受到重视，而少数语言则被视为进步的障碍，对它们的重视主要被视为感情用事的。但是感情用事真的是保持语言多样性的唯一动机吗？)”可知，文章提出了少数语言以及一些濒危的语言被看作是感情用事，文章从第三段举例论证濒危的语言对社会在历史上以及现在带来的好处，故C项“濒危语言应该被保存下来吗？”符合文章标题，故选C。

37．上文“If you do not know how to swim, adult lessons are often available at gyms.（如果你不知道如何游泳，健身房通常提供成人课程）”讲不会游泳可以去健身房报名学习，G项“Even if you learned to swim as a child, you may want to consider signing up for a class（即使你从小就学会了游泳，你也可以考虑报名参加游泳班）”讲即使会游泳，也可以报名参加游泳班，与上文构成递进关系，且下文“You can learn how to more effectively work out in the pool with just a few lessons.（你只需几节课即可学习如何更有效地在游泳池中锻炼）”中“more effectively work out”与G项中“if you learned to swim as a child”相照应,，说明会游泳还要参加游泳班的原因，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
38．E项“If using a pool at a gym, you need follow certain pool rules（如果在健身房使用游泳池，你需要遵守一些游泳池规则）”讲在健身房使用游泳池要遵守规则，下文“It is important that you stick to the posted guidelines, which are meant to keep the swimming pools running properly.（重要的是要遵守发布的指南，这些指南旨在保持游泳池正常运行）”承接上文，说明遵守规则的意义，E项中“rules”与下文“guidelines”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。

Skywells are 57 (relative) common in historic residences in large areas of southern and eastern China.
In today’s rapidly urbanising China, fewer and fewer people live in skywell dwellings, 58 a revival of interest in traditional Chinese architecture is leading some of historic buildings with skywells 59 (restore) for modern times. Meanwhile, some architects are drawing 60 (inspire) from skywells to help keep new buildings cooler, which is a method 61 (combine) design and technology to cool a building without the use of power.
However, there are some 62 (challenge) for bringing skywells into modern designs. The mechanisms of courtyards facilitating natural lighting, ventilation (通风) and rain collection are well known, but applying these principles 63 (need) to be site-specific. Because traditional skywells had different shapes, sizes and features, which were highly dependent 64 their natural surroundings. Adding skywells into modern buildings requires designers to be sensitive to their project’s context and situation, making it difficult to apply them as 65 universal solution.
【答案】
56．Exposed 57．relatively 58．but 59．to be restored 60．inspiration 61．combining 62．challenges 63．needs 64．on 65．a
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国南方和东部传统住宅——天井，包括其特色和前景等。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：由于较少暴露于室外环境，天井与中国北方的庭院不同。这里为非谓语动词担当状语，主语“a skywell”和动词“expose”之间为被动关系，用过去分词形式；出现在句首，首字母大写。故填Exposed。
57．考查副词。句意：在中国南部和东部大片地区的历史住宅中，天井相对普遍。修饰形容词“common”用副词形式。故填relatively。
58．考查连词。句意：在当今快速城市化的中国，越来越少的人居住在天井住宅中，但人们对中国传统建筑的兴趣正在复兴，一些带有天井的历史建筑正在被修复，以适应现代社会。空前“fewer and fewer people live in skywell dwellings”和空后“a revival of interest in traditional Chinese architecture is leading some of historic buildings with skywells to be restored for modem times.”之间存在转折关系，用连词but连接。故填but。
59．考查非谓语动词。句意：在当今快速城市化的中国，越来越少的人居住在天井住宅中，但人们对中国传统建筑的兴趣正在复兴，一些带有天井的历史建筑正在被修复，以适应现代社会。非谓语动词担当宾语补足语，宾语“skywells”和动词“restore”之间为被动关系，且表示动作还未发生，用动词不定式的被动形式。故填to be restored。
60．考查名词。句意：与此同时，一些建筑师正在从天井中汲取灵感，帮助新建筑保持凉爽，这是一种结合设计和科技的方法，无需使用电力即可为建筑降温。分析句子成分可知，空处为名词形式，担当宾语。故填inspiration。
61．考查非谓语动词。句意：与此同时，一些建筑师正在从天井中汲取灵感，帮助新建筑保持凉爽，这是一种结合设计和科技的方法，无需使用电力即可为建筑降温。非谓语动词担当后置定语，被修饰词“a method”和动词“combine”之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填combining。
62．考查名词的数。句意：然而，将天井融入现代设计中存在一些挑战。根据空前的“some”以及本句谓语动词“are”可知，空处为名词的复数形式。故填challenges。
63．考查谓语动词。句意：众所周知，庭院促进自然采光、通风和雨水收集的机制，但应用这些原则需要因地制宜。这里为本句谓语动词，根据上一句的时态可知，本句时态为一般现在时；主语为动名词“applying these principles”，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填needs。
64．考查固定短语。句意：因为传统的天井有不同的形状、大小和特点，这高度依赖于其自然环境。固定短语：be dependent on，意为“依赖于……”，符合句意。故填on。
65．考查冠词。句意：在现代建筑中添加天井要求设计师对项目的背景和情况保持敏感，这使得它们很难作为一种通用的解决方案来应用。修饰名词单数，表示泛指，用不定冠词。故填a。

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I used to enjoy going to my aunt’s flower farm. But not recently, because my newly born sister, Rosa, was settled in my old bedroom. For many years, I stored my books and toys in that small room. But now it was changed into her baby room. Both my space and my old life were gone.
One sunny morning, my aunt took me to her farm again. When we arrived there, my aunt said I could pick some flowers for my parents. I used to love this, but today I was so overcome with tired nest and envy that I did not move.
“Why bother to bother them flowers when they are enjoying Rosa at home without me ” I thought while silently helping mg aunt arrange flowers.
“Your mother told me that there hadn’t been much sleep recently for any of you,” my aunt said.
“The alarm clock in Rosa’s room kept going off,” I complained with a huge yawn(哈欠).
I remember that I had to walk around the house like a worn-out mouse when your mother was a baby. I spent the first months hating her so much, “my aunt laughed.” But you and my mother seem so close,” I said, guiltily hiding away my envy of Rosa.” “Now, we are. But it took me years to get used to the role of being a big sister,” she said and pulled me into her arms. “It really takes time, you know.”
A few seconds later, my aunt took me for a walk along the road which was dotted with beautiful flowers. I began to pick the little flowers as we talked. It was like collecting my childhood memories. I remembered how I’d made flower chains with my father, while giving each other the silliest names such as Princess of Snacks and King of Junk Food. Little by little, my face lit up and the flowers reminded me of the bright colors in my baby sister’s room. “Is she awake ” I wondered.

【答案】Suddenly, I saw my parents walking towards me along the road. They took my baby sister in the baby basket, I looked at them in disbelief. When they came near, my father made faces toward me and spread the picnic blanket on an empty place beside the road. My mother then put down the baby basket on it. We all sat down on it and enjoyed the snacks. Suddenly, my father placed my sister’s hat on my head and declared. “Sleepy Beauty!” We all burst out laughing.
After the picnic, we went to pick some flowers. A moment later, I heard funny noises coming from the baby basket. I tiptoed to it and looked in. My baby sister was wide awake and was playing with her mouth water in her baby basket. Staring at her lovely cheeks and rosy lips, I found myself reaching out to the little creature. To my amazement, she grabbed onto my little finger. At the very moment, I felt a magic bond growing between Rosa and me.

Where to Eat in Kuala Lumpur
Great restaurants in Kuala Lumpur offer a genuine global dining experience. Whether you are looking to enjoy hearty comfort food or some local delicacies, the city’s dining scene satisfies all comers.
Mum’s Place
Nothing brings more comfort than mom’s cooking. With recipes inspired by the owners’ mother, this restaurant brings you Nyonya dishes that are truly Malaysian. Located in the district of Damansara Perdana, Mum’s Place is a neighbourhood restaurant with its main customers from residents nearby. Some of the best dishes include cencaru fish, devil curry chicken and beef rendang.
Cantaloupe
Located about 20 minutes from downtown Malacca, it is a home-based eatery with about 10 tables manned by four operators. Unlike most restaurants, food is self-service here, with dishes placed on catering pans for customers to choose from. It serves traditional Malaysian dishes with distinct Chinese influences. You will find rice dumplings and chicken rendang among the offerings. It has two branches in the city. Their dishes sell out fast, so it’d be best to head there before lunch time.
YumYum Restaurant
Situated in the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel, Yum Yum Restaurant is among the locals’ many favourite spots to dine at. It offers an interesting Nyonya and Thai food with Chinese influences that make them stand out. The classic dishes include sambal petai prawns, assam fish head and Yum Yum egg. It can get crowded here, so it’d be best to head there early or call ahead for reservations.
Troika Sky Dining
Offering fine dining, the impressive Troika Sky Dining undoubtedly stands out from the pack. Set on the 23rd floor of Tower B of The Troika, it goes without saying that the cloud-skimming views here are something else entirely. The food is what helped it stand out. It serves award-winning French, Italian, Greek, and Spanish food and adventurous menu of high-end pizzas and pasta.

“Are you all right ” the student asked as she passed me in the hallway. I was in the final stretch of last work before writing my essay. The student, who was 4 years behind me in the same Ph.D．program, went on to say, “I see people from your group working so much, putting in extra hours, even at night.” It set me thinking a lot.
As a first-year Ph.D．student, I was lucky to have kind and understanding advisers. But I felt overwhelming pressure to become a perfect student. I kept finding a million reasons why I was coming into graduate school at a disadvantage compared with my peers. As a student from Colombia, I had been educated at institutions my professors and colleagues had never heard of, I spoke with an accent that was hard to understand, and I was older than most of the people in my cohort.
I noticed that most of the people around me seemed to be working all the time. I began to spend many weekday nights and weekends in the lab. But my strategy didn’t work. I crashed from burnout. The tiredness took a toll on my productivity and motivation. During one of many mindless Sundays in the office, I realized I’d fallen into the trap of assuming my colleagues’ work habits were the standard for belonging and being worthy of respect — and it wasn’t sustainable.
From then on, I stopped counting the number of work hours I was putting in, leaving space every day for exercising and doing activities that I enjoyed. Eventually, I realized nobody was keeping track of the amount of time I spent in the lab anyway and it wasn’t something I needed to worry about.
I noticed that having more time for myself made me more rested and motivated when I went back to work. I continued quietly along this path for years, until that conversation in the hallway. So, when I ran into her again, weeks later, I told her that even though I was feeling a lot of pressure in the final year of my Ph.D．, I was putting my mental and physical health first and wasn’t working overtime. I also began to talk with other students about how quality sleep, physical activity, healthy eating, and reasonable work hours were a daily part of my routine.
24．What can we learn about the student
A．He spent much time in lab work. B．He had finished the Ph.D．program.
C．He was concerned about the author. D．He was putting in extra hours at night.
25．How does the author feel about his work at first
A．Anxious. B．Ambitious. C．Dissatisfied. D．Enthusiastic.
26．Which can replace the underlined phrase “took a toll on” in Para. 3
A．Added fuel to. B．Had a negative impact on.
C．Cast new light on. D．Depended too much on.
27．What does the author intend to tell us
A．A healthy work-life balance counts.
B．A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.
C．Fitting in doesn’t mean working overtime.
D．Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
C
Television has transformed politics in the United States by changing the way in which information is spread, by altering political campaigns, and by changing citizen’s patterns of response to politics. By giving citizens independent access to the candidates, television reduced the role of the political party in the selection of the major party candidates. By centering politics on the person of the candidate, television accelerated the citizen’s focus on character rather than issues.
Television has altered the forms of political communication as well. The messages on which most of us rely are briefer than they once were. The stump speech, a political speech given by traveling politicians and lasting 1 to 2 hours, which was popular in the nineteenth-century, has given way to the 30-second advertisement and the 10 second “sound bite” in broadcast news. Increasingly the audience for speeches is not that standing in front of the politician but rather the viewing audience who will hear and see a short video of the speech on the news.
In these simplified forms, much of what comprised the traditional political speech of earlier ages has been lost. In 15 or 30 seconds, a speaker cannot establish the historical context that shaped the issue in question, cannot detail the probable causes of the problem, and cannot examine alternative proposals to argue that one is preferable to others. In short videos, politicians assert (断言) but do not argue.
Because television is an intimate (亲密的) medium, speaking through it requires a changed political style that is more conversational, personal, and visual than that of the old-style stump speech. Reliance on television means that increasingly our political world contains memorable pictures rather than memorable words. Schools teach us to analyze words and print. However, in a world in which politics is increasingly visual, informed citizenship requires a new set of skills.
Recognizing the power of television’s pictures, politicians craft televisual, staged events designed to attract media coverage. Much of the political activity we see on television news has been crafted by politicians, their speechwriters, and their public relations advisers for televised consumption. Sound bites in news and answers to questions in debates increasingly sound like advertisements.
28．What do we know about “stump speech” in paragraph 2
A．It’s an event created by politicians to attract media attention.
B．It’s an interactive discussion between two politicians.
C．It’s a kind of political presentation typical of the nineteenth century.
D．It’s a style of speech common to televised political events.
29．It is suggested in paragraph 4 that ________.
A．politicians need to learn to become more personal
B．attractive politicians are favored by citizens
C．citizens tend to favor a politician who analyzed issues
D．citizens need to learn how to evaluate visual political images
30．What can we infer from the passage
A．Political presentations today are more like advertisements than in the past.
B．Politicians today tend to be more familiar with the views of citizens than in the past.
C．Citizens today are less informed about a politician’s character than in the past.
D．Political speeches today focus more on details about issues than in the past.
31．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Television: an Agent of Change in Politics B．Television: a Platform for Political Debate
C．Television: an Alternative to Stump Speech D．Television: a New Medium for Communication
D
There are close to 7, 000 languages spoken on Earth. However, it’s estimated that by the end of this century, up to 50% of them may be lost.
It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental (感情用事的). But is sentimentality really the only motivation for preserving language diversity
Speakers of endangered languages often live in remote areas with unique landform. It is quite common for these languages to distinguish between hundreds more types of plants and animals than those known to modern science. For example, in Southeast Asia, some tribes have discovered the medicinal properties of over sixty-five hundred plant species. This has led to many of landmark achievements in medicine.
It was once believed that the limits of one’s language defined the limits of one’s thought. This theory, called the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis (假说), has been largely rejected in favor of the improved version, which assumes that the language we speak does not set the limits of our thoughts, but it does direct our focus in certain ways. For example, English is a tense-based language. It’s nearly impossible to talk about doing something without specifying the time — i. e. I went to the party(past), I’m going to the party(present), or I’ll go to the party (future). This differs from Chinese, where it’s perfectly reasonable to say, “I go to the party” without defining the “when”. Thus, part of the richness of language is that it allows us to organize the world in so many unique ways.
Some languages categorize the world in ways so different from our own that they are difficult to conceptualize (概念化). The United States employed native Navajo speakers to create a system of message coding during the Second World War. The Japanese were never able to break it, and the “code talkers” are often cited today as having helped decide the outcome of the war.
As we’ve already seen, minority languages are valuable for many practical reasons. In conclusion, I’d say the short answer is yes — dying languages are certainly worth saving!
32．What do people tend to think of minority languages
A．Valueless. B．Time-honored. C．Informal. D．Stable.
33．How can we benefit from endangered languages according to the author
A．We can discover drugs in a much safer way.
B．We don’t have to rely on modern medicine.
C．We can acquire a broad knowledge of nature.
D．We can learn how to protect plants and animals.
34．Why does the author mention the Second World War
A．To correct the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis.
B．To prove the value of minority languages.
C．To show wars’ role in preserving a language.
D．To explain ways to conserve some languages.
35．What would be a suitable title for the text
A．Are majority languages worth valuing
B．Are we willing to save dying languages
C．Should endangered languages be saved
D．Is the future of minority languages bright

A skywell, or “tian jing” in Mandarin, is a typical feature of a traditional home in southern and eastern China. 56 (expose) less to the outdoor environment, a skywell is different from a northern Chinese courtyard. Skywells are 57 (relative) common in historic residences in large areas of southern and eastern China.
In today’s rapidly urbanising China, fewer and fewer people live in skywell dwellings, 58 a revival of interest in traditional Chinese architecture is leading some of historic buildings with skywells 59 (restore) for modern times. Meanwhile, some architects are drawing 60 (inspire) from skywells to help keep new buildings cooler, which is a method 61 (combine) design and technology to cool a building without the use of power.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I used to enjoy going to my aunt’s flower farm. But not recently, because my newly born sister, Rosa, was settled in my old bedroom. For many years, I stored my books and toys in that small room. But now it was changed into her baby room. Both my space and my old life were gone.
One sunny morning, my aunt took me to her farm again. When we arrived there, my aunt said I could pick some flowers for my parents. I used to love this, but today I was so overcome with tired nest and envy that I did not move.
“Why bother to bother them flowers when they are enjoying Rosa at home without me ” I thought while silently helping mg aunt arrange flowers.
“Your mother told me that there hadn’t been much sleep recently for any of you,” my aunt said.
“The alarm clock in Rosa’s room kept going off,” I complained with a huge yawn(哈欠).
I remember that I had to walk around the house like a worn-out mouse when your mother was a baby. I spent the first months hating her so much, “my aunt laughed.” But you and my mother seem so close,” I said, guiltily hiding away my envy of Rosa.” “Now, we are. But it took me years to get used to the role of being a big sister,” she said and pulled me into her arms. “It really takes time, you know.”
A few seconds later, my aunt took me for a walk along the road which was dotted with beautiful flowers. I began to pick the little flowers as we talked. It was like collecting my childhood memories. I remembered how I’d made flower chains with my father, while giving each other the silliest names such as Princess of Snacks and King of Junk Food. Little by little, my face lit up and the flowers reminded me of the bright colors in my baby sister’s room. “Is she awake ” I wondered.

Suddenly, I saw my parents walking towards me along the road.
