二、阅读理解(共4小题;每小题5分,满分20分)
By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
11.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
12.Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
13.What does Titterton need to practise
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
14.Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse page turner”
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.
三、七选五(共5小题;每小题4分,满分20分)
If hearing the importance of good social relationships makes you think that you might not have enough, you aren't alone, said Adam Smiley Poswolsky, workplace belonging expert and author of “Friendship in the Age of Loneliness”.
①_____ However, the hope of developing new friendships-or strengthening existing ones-can be discouraging. It's frightening to think about friendship in adulthood, and the sense of defeat keeps us from even trying, Poswolsky said.
His suggestion ②_____ Text a friend that you haven't talked to for a long time, commit to meeting one new person a month, host a dinner party, or join a class. If you do just one thing, make a list of five people in your life that you care about, and give one of them a phone call. The most remarkable friendships often begin with the tiniest moments of connections.
Remember that you likely won't form a strong connection overnight. Research shows that it takes 90 hours of time together for us to consider someone a friend and more than 200 hours to consider them a close friend that you have an emotional connection with. Poswolsky suggested that in our busy world, we should put our friendship on the calendar. ③_____
But studies also show that it isn't just about having relationships. ④_____ Poswolsky considers that there might not be just one definition of a good friendship, but most strong relationships share some similar qualities. They tend to prioritise laughter, joy, excitement, courage, weakness and a lack of judgement.
⑤_____ They become better versions of themselves, especially when their friend is struggling or going through something hard. You know someone is a true friend when they have your back when you're sick, when you lose your job, when you make a mistake, when you're going through a break-up, when you're stressed, when you're sad.
A. Start small.
B. The quality also matters.
C. Listen and ask real questions.
D. Many people may feel lonely and want closer connections.
E. And good friendships are often two people helping each other.
F. In other words, we should commit to holding activities regularly.
G. But having relationships between the good and the bad can often be unhelpful.

答案以及解析
一、语法填空
1.答案:that

8.答案:countless

12.答案:C

13.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中“and each pianist has their own style of 'nodding' to indicate a page turn(每个钢琴家都有自己的‘点头’风格来示意翻页)”可推断Titterton需要识别钢琴家发出的“点头”信号,才能准确地翻页,故答案为B项。

解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn,turn!' (他对音乐很感兴趣,能感受到每一个音符,我不得不提醒他:‘翻页,翻页!’)”可推断他由于专注于音乐,忘了翻页,故答案为D项。
三、七选五

二、阅读理解(共4小题;每小题5分,满分20分)
After losing an important deal in India, a business negotiator learnt that her counterpart(职位相当的人) felt as if she had been rushing through the talks. The business negotiator thought she was being efficient in their time. Their cultures have different views on how to conduct negotiations, and in this case, the barrier prevented a successful outcome.
Research shows that deal-making across cultures tends to lead to worse outcomes as compared with negotiations conducted within the same culture. As we know, cultures are characterised by different behaviours, communication styles and norms(准则). Consequently, when negotiating across cultures, we bring different views to the bargaining table, which in turn may result in potential misunderstandings that can lead to lower likelihood of discovering value-creating solutions.
Cultural conflict in negotiations is linked with the fact that we, at most times, interpret others' behaviours, values, and beliefs through the lens (透镜) of our own culture. To overcome this, it is important to research the customs and behaviours of different cultures as well as understand why people follow these customs and exhibit these behaviours in the first place.
Just as important, not only do countries have unique cultures, but teams and organisations do too. Before partaking in any negotiation, take the time to study the context and the person on the other side of the bargaining table, including the various cultures to which he belongs, whether his culture, the culture of engineering, or his particular company's corporate culture. The more you know about the client, the better you'll do in any negotiation.
Therefore, we see the negotiator has learnt her Indian counterpart would have appreciated a slower pace with more opportunities for relationship building. She seems to have run into the issue: Using time efficiently in the course of negotiations is generally valued in the United States, but in India, there's often a greater focus on building relationships early in the process. By doing research on the clients' cultures, they can adjust their negotiation method and give themselves a better chance of creating a valuable negotiation experience for both themselves and their counterparts.
11.What resulted in the businesswoman's failure in her negotiation in India
A. Her slow work style. B. Their personal conflicts of interests.
C. Her poor communication capacity. D. The differences between their cultures.
12.What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The analyses about the findings of the research.
B. The common misunderstandings in negotiations.
C. The deep reasons for failed cross-cultural negotiations.
D. The causes of conflicts between negotiators' views.
13.What does the author mainly want to say in Paragraph 4
A. Research is necessary before negotiating.
B. People should respect cultural differences.
C. Meeting cultural differences is fairly common.
D. Cross-cultural conflicts result from ignorance.
14.What is the function of the last paragraph
A. To come up with a new conclusion.
B. To recommend a negotiation method.
C. To summarise the above paragraphs.
D. To share different opinions on the example.
三、七选五(共5小题;每小题4分,满分20分)
During job or school interviews, you're likely to be asked what your strengths and weaknesses are, because the interviewers are interested in how your areas of strength and weakness might affect your performance in this role. ①_____ For instance, you may be skilled in cooking, but if you're applying for an office job, this strength may be irrelevant.
However, knowing your personal areas of strength and weakness is not a piece of cake. It takes self-awareness and self-reflection. ②______ Or, ask some of your friends what they see as your best qualities or shortcomings.
③______ For example, let's say my strength is creativity and yours is planning; we both want to have the same career. We might go about getting there in very different ways. If I did something creative to get my dream job and you planned carefully, we'd both likely be successful. But if I tried planning and you tried something creative, both of us might fail. ④_____
Having an area of weakness doesn't have to be a bad thing. It could be something you struggle with, but it could also be something you haven't spent time developing yet. ⑤_____ For example, maybe your area of weakness is gratitude. You just haven't spent a lot of time thinking about gratitude before. But now you engage in a bunch of activities that help you turn gratitude into an area of strength. Hey, now you've got one more skill!
A.Is it proper to begin with a truthful answer
B.So ask yourself what you are good at or weak in.
C.Our areas of strength can help us achieve our goals.
D.Thus,it's helpful to know your strengths related to the role.
E.Many job applicants are unsure how to approach this question.
F.By turning a weakness into a strength, you build other important skills.
G.That's why it is important to know and use our strengths to reach goals.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案以及解析
一、语法填空
1.答案:what
解析:句意为:这个年轻人从来没想过,在一个职业领域内达到巅峰需要的是什么。设空处引导宾语从句,从句在句中作thinks about的宾语,引导词在从句中作takes的宾语表示“什么”,故用what引导该从句。
2.答案:a
解析:句意为:他来这里时没有朋友,也没有财产,后来靠钻石生意发了财。固定短语make a fortune表示“发财”。故填a。
3.答案:with
解析:句意为:这个天生残疾的人成了残奥会冠军,这非常值得敬佩。be born with为固定搭配,意为“生来带有;生来具有”,此处为其非谓语形式作后置定语。故填with。
4.答案:appreciative
解析:句意为:他逐渐开始感激生命的意义及其永恒的精神价值。becomes在句中为连系动词,设空处作表语,表示“感激的”,应用形容词,be appreciative of表示“对……感激”。
5.答案: ultimately
解析:句意为:换句话说,你最终还是要作出自己的判断。分析句子结构并根据句意可知,设空处作状语,修饰整个句子,应用副词。故填ultimately。
6.答案: ambitious
解析:句意为:这位刚毕业的学生雄心满满,要独立进行这项调查。设空处作表语,表示“有雄心的”,应用形容词。
7.答案:going
解析:句意为:年轻人如果每天都身处非常大声的音乐中,可能有失聪的危险。risk 后用动名词作宾语,故填 going。
8.答案: to eat; trying
解析:句意为:我本来没打算吃任何东西,但是那个冰激凌看起来实在太好吃了,我忍不住尝了尝。mean to do sth意为“打算做某事”;can't help doing sth意为“忍不住做某事”。
9.答案:about/for/at
解析:句意为:他作出那个重大决定时没有考虑父母的感受,为此感到内疚。be guilty about/for/at为固定搭配,意为“对……感到愧疚;对……感到羞愧”。故填about/for/at。
10.答案:being distracted
解析:句意为:在没有手机的情况下,我们进行了两个多小时的正式谈话,没有被其他人的信息分散注意力。动词distract 意为“使分心,使转移注意力”,介词without后跟动名词作宾语,distract与其逻辑主语we之间是被动关系,应用动名词的被动式。故填being distracted。
二、阅读理解
11.答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的Their cultures have different views on how to conduct negotiations, and in this case, the barrier prevented a successful outcome.可知,双方的文化差异导致了生意谈判失败。故选D项。
12.答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。根据第二段内容可知,该段主要分析的是跨文化谈判失败的深层原因,即不同的文化往往有不同的观点,有可能导致潜在的误解。故选C项。
13.答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段内容以及第四段中的The more you know about the client, the better you'll do in any negotiation.可知,本段主要介绍了在参加谈判之前,花点时间研究谈话背景和对方所属的各种文化,对客户了解得越多,在谈判中就越有利。由此可知,作者在该段想要表达的是在谈判前进行调查研究很有必要,对对方的文化越了解,越有利于谈判的进行。故选A项。
14.答案:C
解析:推理判断题。通读全文可知,第一段给出跨文化谈判失败的案例,第二、三、四段从该案例出发,分析了跨文化谈判失败背后深层次的文化原因,并介绍了解决这种跨文化问题的方法,最后一段回到案例本身,结合上文的原因和方法,给案例中的人提供了具体的建议。由此推知,该段旨在归纳上文。故选C项。
三、七选五
答案:DBCGF
解析:①根据设空处上文语境和下文的例子可知,设空处内容应与“优势与职位是否相关”有关:D项指出,知晓与职位有关的优势是有帮助的,且选项中的Thus为关键词,指出上文与其是因果关系,符合语境。故选D项。
②根据设空处上文可知,认识到自己的优势和劣势不是一件容易的事情,空后的Or引出了解自身优势的方法,由此可推断,设空处内容也应与“如何了解自己的优势”相关。B项内容承上启下,符合语境。故选B项。
③设空处为本段的主题句,根据下文的例子可知,该段旨在说明我们利用好优势会促进成功:C项指出,我们的优势可以帮助我们实现目标,与下文举例内容吻合,且概括了本段的主题,符合语境。故选C项。
④根据设空处上文可知,知道并合理利用优势能促进我们成功,但是利用不当便会失败:G项中的Tat指代的内容即为空前的内容,且上文与G项构成因果关系,总结本段内容,符合语境。故选G项。
⑤根据设空处下文的例子可知,劣势有时候可以转化为优势,F项指出通过把劣势变成优势就能培养其他重要的技能,符合语境。故选F项。
四、书面表达
Dear Sir or Madam,
It is a great idea to hold "the most beautiful student" activity. In my opinion, the candidate should set a good example to others and have the following good qualities such as selflessness, bravery and honesty.

Last week, on his way to school, Li Lei saw an old woman lying on the ground. He sent her to the hospital immediately and the woman was saved.
Therefore, I strongly recommend Li Lei as "the most beautiful student".
Yours faithfully,
