the
end
of（到……时为止）常与过去完成时搭配，是一个标志词，具有很强的提示作用。主语大象和杀害是被动关系，本题中使用过去完成时的被动语态had
been+过去分词，故选C。

第二节：完形填空(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)
Sitting
back
in
my
seat,
I
can’t
quite
believe
that
I’m
about
to
travel
along
the
railway
that
many
foreign
experts
___11___
was
“impossible”.
The
train
has
been
racing
along
steadily
since
it
left
Xining.
All
this
time,
the
song
“Sky
Railway”
has
been
playing
inside
my
head.
The
words
“railways
like
massive
dragons
are
___12___
among
the
mountains”
seem
particularly
vivid
as
I
travel
across
the
“roof
of
the
world”.
I
was
one
of
the
people
who
came
from
all
parts
of
China
to
work
on
this
railway.
Taking
years
to
complete,
the
Qinghai-Tibet
Railway
is
a
record
of
all
of
our
efforts
to
___13___
the
most
difficult
engineering
challenges.
How
to
protect
the___14___
ecosystem
was
among
the
top___15___.
The
first
landmark
to
catch
my
eye
is
the
splendid
Qingshuihe
Bridge,
the
world’s
longest
bridge
built
over
permafrost.
Look!
A
group
of
Tibetan
antelopes
is
moving
under
the
bridge,
with
some
stopping
to
eat
grass____16____
their
leisure.
Thirty-three
passages
have
been
built
under
the
railway
to
allow
the
animals
to
move
safely
and
freely
in
their
natural___17___.
Wild
animals
such
as
these
Tibetan
antelopes
have
now
been
using
these
passages
for
years.
They
seem
totally___18___
that
we
are
speeding
past
at
over
100
kilometres
an
hour.
To
prevent
damage
to
wetlands
and
grasslands,
675
bridges
with
a
total
length
of
about
160
kilometres
were
built
between
Colmud
and
Lhasa.
We
even
moved
140,000
square
metres
of
wetland
to
a
new
area
in
order
to
protect
its___19___
ecosystem.
The
journey
has
been
flying
by,
and____20____
I
know
it,
we
have
reached
Tanggula
Station.
____21____
at
over
5,000
metres
above
sea
level,
this
is
the
highest
railway
station
in
the
world.
In
locations
such
as
this,
the
thin
air,
changeable
weather
and
high
levels
of
UV
radiation
presented
perhaps
the
greatest
challenge
for
railway
workers.
To
make
sure
we
stayed
healthy,
several
oxygen-making
stations
were____22____.
We
were
also
able
to
enjoy
regular
breaks
in
lower
areas.
As
we
pass
Cuona
Lake,
I
feel
a
sense
of____23____
and
achievement.
Using
thousands
and
thousands
of
sandbags,
we
built
a
twenty-kilometre
wall
along
the
lake
to
protect
it
from
construction
waste.
Cuona
Lake
is
so
close
to
the
railway
that
I
want
to
reach
our
and
touch
its
pale
blue
mirror-like
surface.
Water
birds
playing
in
the
lake,
and
cattle
and
sheep
wandering
the
grasslands
bring
the
scenery
to
life.
The
Qinghai-Tibet
Plateau
has
been
attracting
people’s____24____
for
centuries.
Now,
____25____
our
efforts,
passengers
from
all
over
the
country
have
been
enjoying
these
magical
landscapes.
I
am
proud
that
we
built
our
“impossible”
railway,
and
did
so
with
the
care
that
the
environment
deserves.
It
truly
is
an
extraordinary
“Sky
Railway".

第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题；第26-30题，每小题3分；第31-40题，每小题2分，满分35分)
A
A
New
Chapter
The
day
I
heard
that
Rainbow
Bookstore
was
closing
after
50
years
of
business,
I
was
heartbroken.
The
bookstore,
which
was
a
legendary
fixture
in
the
neighbourhood,
was
a
place
where
anyone
could
drop
in
and
connect
through
their
love
of
books.
When
I
hurried
to
the
store,
I
saw
that
the
books
were
already
being
packed
into
boxes.
I
had
a
long
chat
with
Casey,
the
store’s
elderly
owner.
Sighing
deeply,
he
told
me
how
it
was
becoming
difficult
to
run
an
independent
bookstore.
Most
young
people
preferred
reading
e-books
on
tablets.
More
and
more
customers
were
being
attracted
by
chain
stores
and
online
discounts.
I
tried
to
think
of
some
words
of
sympathy,
but
I
had
to
admit
that
the
Rainbow
Bookstore
couldn’t
stay
in
business
much
longer.
A
few
months
later,
I
was
back
in
the
neighbourhood
during
my
spring
break
and
was
surprised
to
see
that
the
bookstore
was
still
there
and
opened
for
business.
Its
old
brick
walls
hadn’t
been
decorated,
but
inside
it
was
like
a
different
world.
In
one
area,
a
book
reading
was
being
delivered.
Nearby,
customers
were
poring
over
shelves
selling
stationery,
posters
and
other
best-seller-themed
gifts.
The
large
board
in
the
corner
where
customers’
comments
on
the
books
were
being
displayed
had
been
replaced
by
a
big
screen.
Clearly,
the
Rainbow
Bookstore
was
in
good,
creative
hands.
I
was
told
that
the
community
had
decided
to
work
together
on
a
program
to
save
Rainbow
Bookstore.
The
campaign
had
been
led
by
Jennifer
Oakley,
a
saleswoman
who
had
grown
up
in
the
neighbourhood
and
who
had
now
taken
over
the
bookstore
from
Casey.
Under
Jennifer’s
leadership,
the
bookstore
was
being
turned
into
a
place
for
literature-loving
members
of
the
community
to
get
together.
It
had
a
cafe
selling
organic
food,
and
there
were
now
more
community
events
such
as
book
readings,
poetry
recitals
and
even
jazz
concerts
and
movie
nights,
where
people
could
gather
to
share
an
experience
that
couldn’t
be
downloaded.
I
joined
old
Casey,
who
was
looking
up
at
the
screen
on
which
readers’
comments
kept
popping
up.
“Well,
as
you
can
see,
corporate
knowledge
combined
with
creativity
has
brought
my
humble
bookstore
into
the
21st
century!
I’m
so
pleased
to
see
that
everything
I
wanted
to
offer
to
the
community
is
still
here.”
26.
Why
did
Rainbow
Bookstore
face
close
down?
A.
Because
it
had
a
long
history.
B.
Because
people
no
longer
loved
reading.
C.
Because
it
was
affected
by
e-books
and
online
stores.
D.
Because
there
were
fewer
residents
in
the
neighbourhood.
27.

THE
ROAD
TO
SUCCESS
Near
the
small
town
of
Grottoes,
Virginia,
a
narrow
dirt
road
goes
from
the
house
of
Stephen
Curry’s
grandfather
to
the
woods
nearby.
A
far
cry
from
the
bright
lights
and
shiny
courts
of
the
National
Basketball
Association
(NBA),
it
was
along
this
road
that
Stephen’s
grandfather
built
a
simple
basket
by
attaching
a
piece
of
plastic
to
a
telephone
pole.
Like
his
father,
basketball
star
Dell
Cury,
Stephen
spent
many
childhood
hours
playing
on
this
muddy
basketball
court.
He
probably
didn’t
realise
it
at
the
time,
but
it
was
where
he
learnt
to
be
creative
and
flexible
as
a
player.
You
see,
with
every
shot,
the
weak
plastic
backboard
gave
way.
The
bumps
and
rocks
that
lined
the
road
under
the
basket
caused
the
ball
to
bounce
in
all
directions.
Knowing
where
the
ball
would
go
wasn’t
easy.
He
had
to
adjust
his
own
playing
style
as
a
result.
Shooting
with
great
accuracy
was
another
thing
he
learnt.
Only
shots
perfectly
aimed
at
its
centre
went
into
the
heavy,
thick
basket.
In
this
way,
practising
day
in
and
day
out
helped
Stephen
sharpen
his
skills.
Despite
his
father’s
successful
career,
Stephen
was
thought
by
many
people,
including
his
high
school
teammates
and
coaches,
to
be
too
short,
too
thin
and
too
weak
to
follow
in
his
father’s
footsteps.
But
Stephen
carried
on.
Playing
basketball
was
his
dream.
He
would
not
give
up.
He
finally
ended
up
playing
college
ball
at
a
small,
little-known
school,
Davidson
College,
not
too
far
from
where
he
lived.
His
creativity
and
perseverance
made
him
Davidson’s
star
player.
Selected
for
the
NBA
in
2009,
Stephen
joined
the
Golden
State
Warriors.
He
performed
beyond
everyone’s
expectations
with
his
accurate
shooting
and
continuous
efforts.
In
2015,
Stephen
won
his
first
NBA
championship,
and
he
led
the
Warriors
to
their
first
championship
since
1975.
After
receiving
the
Most
Valuable
Player
award
for
two
years
in
row,
Stephen
explained
his
philosophy,
“I
never
really
set
out
to
change
the
game...
What
I
wanted
to
do
was
just
be
myself...
I
know
it
inspires
a
lot
of
the
next
generation,
a
lot
of
people
who
love
the
game
of
basketball
to
value
the
skill
of
it,
value
the
fact
that
you
can
work
every
single
day
to
get
better.
You’ve
got
to
be
able
to
put
in
the
time
and
the
work.
That’s
how
I
got
here.
That’s
how
I
continue
to
get
better
every
single
day.”
Inspiring
others
to
believe
in
themselves,
Stephen
Curry
is
living
proof
that
what
other
people
thing
of
you
does
not
have
to
influence
what
you
become.
Through
self-belief,
hard
work,
perseverance
and
some
help
from
an
old
hoop,
he
has
shown
that
anything
is
possible.

C
Nobody
laughed
when
the
UK
comedy
show
Little
Britain
toured
the
US.
Americans
didn’t
find
the
“British
stereotypes(刻板印象)”funny.
One
character
was
a
woman
who
was
sick
whenever
she
saw
a
foreigner.Another
was
a
loud
and
rude
15-year-old
girl
cursing(骂)at
her
teachers.But
back
home,British
people
were
laughing,thinking,“Yes!That’s
exactly
what
we’re
like!”
A
laugh
is
a
laugh
in
any
language,but
the
reasons
for
it
can
be
very
different.Britons
and
Americans
speak
the
same
language,but
humor
does
not
always
translate.
Take
The
Office
as
an
example.This
was
originally
a
UK
TV
series
but
it
was
changed
for
the
US.Both
the
US
and
UK
series
are
set
in
a
boring
workplace
in
a
boring
town.But
David
Brent,the
boss
of
the
UK
office,is
not
a
nice
guy
like
Michael
Scott
in
the
US
version.
“We
had
to
make
Michael
Scott
a
slightly
nicer
guy,”wrote
series
creator
Ricky
Gervais.“He
couldn’t
be
too
mean.”
Gervais
said
British
people
are
different
from
Americans
because“Britons
cruelly
make
fun
of
people
we
like
or
dislike…and
of
ourselves”
He
believes
the
differences
between
the
American
and
British
senses
of
humor
are
because
of“our
upbringing”.
“Americans
are
brought
up
to
believe
they
can
be
the
next
president
of
the
United
States,”he
wrote.“Britons
are
told,‘It
won’t
happen
for
you’.”
Things
usually
turn
out
fine
at
the
end
of
every
US
Office
episode(集).
Even
if
they’re
not
perfect,
the
characters
“learn
a
lesson”
for
the
future.
But
in
David
Brent’s
office—and
in
lots
of
UK
comedies—the
last
scene
is
often
sad.
You
are
often
left
with
the
feeling
that
things
just
couldn’t
get
worse.
For
British
people,
this
seems
truer
to
life
and
so
much
funnier.
It’s
not
just
Britain
and
the
US
that
have
comic
differences.
Few
foreigners
would
understand
a
Chinese
cross-talk
showfor
example.
Cultural
differences
are
no
laughing
matter.
But
comic
differences
can
be
a
window
into
a
culture.
36.
What
is
the
purpose
of
the
first
paragraph?
A.
To
show
that
British
humor
is
not
funny
at
all.
B.
To
show
that
American
people
don't
understand
British
people.
C.
To
show
that
Britain
and
America
have
different
stereotypes.
D.
To
show
how
humor
may
mean
different
things
in
different
cultures.

end
on
a
hopeless
note.

Episodes
in
the
US
version
often
end
in
a
boring
way.
39.
What
can
we
infer
from
the
article?
A.
Britons
do
not
like
to
make
fun
of
others.

British
comedy
often
has
a
moral
message.
C.
American
people
are
brought
up
to
be
more
positive.
D.
Jokes
are
difficult
to
translate
from
one
language
into
another.
40.
What
is
the
author’s
opinion
of
comic
differences?
A.
They
are
slight
differences
that
can
be
ignored.

They
can
partly
show
cultural
differences.
C.
They
show
stereotypes
of
different
cultures.

other.

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英美两国的人对幽默的理解以及他们的文化差异，且以英国版和美国版的《办公室》电视剧为例，分析了英式戏剧和美式戏剧的差异，最后指出戏剧在一定程度上展示了文化差异。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Nobody

Americans
didn’t
find
the

But
back
home,
British
people
were

thinking,
‘Yes!
That’s
exactly
what
we’re
like!’”可知当英国喜剧节目《小英国人》在美国巡演时，没有人笑。美国人并不觉得“英国人的刻板印象”有趣。其中一个角色是一个看到外国人就生病的女人。另一个是一个吵闹粗鲁的15岁女孩诅咒她的老师。但在英国国内，英国人却在大笑，并在想，“是的！我们就是这样的人!”由此可推知，第一段的目的是说明在不同的文化中，幽默可能意味着不同的东西。故选D。
【37题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文中“We
had
to
make
Michael
Scott
a
slightly
nicer
guy”以及“He
couldn’t
be
too…”可知Michael
Scott被人们塑造成一个有些友善的人，即他不可能太不友好，由此可知，画线词意思为“不友好的”。A.
Unkind.不友好的；B.
Great.极好的；C.
Average.平均的；D.
Ugly-looking.模样丑陋的。故选A。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“But
in
David
Brent’s
office—and
in
lots
of
UK
comedies—the
last
scene
is
often
sad.”可知但在David
Brent的《办公室》里——以及在许多英国喜剧里——最后一幕往往是悲伤的。由此可知，C选项“英剧经常以悲剧方式结束”正确。故选C。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第五段中“Americans
are
brought
up
to
believe
they
can
be
the
next
president
of
the
United
States…”可知美国人从小就被教育相信他们能成为美国的下一任总统……由此可推知，美国人从小被教育要积极。故选C。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“But
comic
differences
can
be
a
window
into
a
culture.”可知但喜剧差异可以成为了解一种文化的一扇窗户。由此可推知，作者认为喜剧差异在一定程度上展示了文化差异。故选B。

【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了一位画家画画栩栩如生，有一天他将画送给宰相时，这位睿智的老人告诉他去漓江旅行——也许他可以从世界上最伟大的艺术家那里学到一些东西。画家最后发现这位世界上最伟大的艺术家就是大自然母亲。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：中国古代有一位画家，他的画几乎栩栩如生。此处为定语从句修饰先行词artist，且先行词在从句中作定语，故应用关系代词whose。故填whose。
【42题详解】
考查最高级。句意：一天，皇帝想让人给他画一幅肖像，于是他把所有伟大的画家都请来，展示他们最好的作品，以便他挑选最好的。结合句意，皇帝想要画家最好的作品，表示“最好的”此处应用形容词最高级finest。故填finest。
【43题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：画家确信他会被选中，但是当他把他的杰作送给皇帝的宰相时，这位老人笑了。本句中主语he与谓语动词choose构成被动关系，且would后跟动词原形。故填be
chosen。
【44题详解】
.考查名词。句意：怀着好奇心，艺术家收拾行囊离开了。with为介词，后跟名词curiosity作宾语，表示“好奇心”。故填curiosity。
【45题详解】
考查连接词。句意：当他问河岸上的村民，他在哪里可以找到这位传奇艺术家时，他们笑着指着河的下游。本句为时间状语从句，表示“当……时候”，且从句中动词asked为短暂性动作动词，不能用while引导，故应用when或as引导。句首单词首字母要大写。故填When/As。
【46题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：当他问河岸上的村民，他在哪里可以找到这位传奇艺术家时，他们笑着指着河的下游。根据上文they
smiled
and可知此处应用一般过去时。故填pointed。
【47题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：第二天早上，他租了一条船，出发去找这位著名的画家。结合句意表示“出发去做某事”短语为set
out
to
do
sth.，后跟不定式做目的状语。故填to
find。
【48题详解】
考查副词。句意：当小船缓缓地沿着江面移动时，山在水中的倒影使他说不出话来。此处修饰动词moved应用副词gently作状语，表示“缓缓地”。故填gently。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当他看到雾气从河上升起，山顶上乌云环绕，他不禁流下了眼泪。分析句子结构可知，the
soft
clouds
69
(surround)
the
mountain
tops是独立主格结构做状语，surround在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语clouds构成主动关系，故应用现在分词。故填surrounding。
【50题详解】
考查介词。句意：这位艺术家最终被世界上最伟大的艺术家——大自然母亲所折服。结合句意表示“在世界上”短语为on
earth。故填on。

阅读表达
Just
like
everyone
I
have
experienced
ups
and
downs
in
my
life.
I
am
an
aerospace
engineer
from
India,
I
was
told
by
my
relatives,
close
friends
and
others
that
it
was
hard
for
a
non-IT
student
to
pursue
a
master's
degree
in
IT
and
graduate
from
a
US
university.
I
had
never
taken
courses
related
to
computers
or
programming.
I
was
never
interested
in
being
a
programmer,
but
things
changed.
I
became
so
fascinated
with
the
convenience
IT
has
brought
to
our
life
that
I
made
up
my
mind
in
chasing
a
master's
degree
in
IT.
At
first,
I
came
across
too
many
difficulties
and
ing
from
a
middle-class
family,
the
huge
cost
per
credit
was
a
big
issue.
My
English
accent
was
terrible.
Most
importantly,
the
course
seemed
impossible
at
first.
Although
I
felt
so
discouraged
and
frustrated,
I
never
thought
of
giving
up.
Then
I
decided
to
choose
my
university
because
it
promised
its
students
to
help
them
learn
practically.
During
my
first
month,
it
was
difficult
to
understand
the
Americans'
accent
and
finish
my
assignments.
But
I
never
gave
in.
I
walked
two
miles
to
the
university
every
day
so
that
I
could
use
my
travel
money
to
buy
a
meal.
I
started
looking
for
jobs
and
I
got
an
offer
to
work
as
a
student
assistant,
which
meant
lifting
benches
and
chairs
every
day.
I
took
all
these
challenges
as
my
chances,
and
I
believed
that
hard
work
was
my
strength.
Right
now
I
am
graduating
with
a
GPA
of
3.96/4
and
a
job
offer
from
a
multinational
company
that
has
asked
me
to
start
right
after
graduation.
When
you
have
a
dream
to
realize,
there
is
nothing
that
can
stop
you.
All
you
need
is
the
diligence
and
persistence.
Hard
work
always
pays
off.
Having
a
determined
will
is
also
necessary.
61.

did

it

to
pursue

第二节：完形填空(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)
Sitting
back
in
my
seat,
I
can’t
quite
believe
that
I’m
about
to
travel
along
the
railway
that
many
foreign
experts
___11___
was
“impossible”.
The
train
has
been
racing
along
steadily
since
it
left
Xining.
All
this
time,
the
song
“Sky
Railway”
has
been
playing
inside
my
head.
The
words
“railways
like
massive
dragons
are
___12___
among
the
mountains”
seem
particularly
vivid
as
I
travel
across
the
“roof
of
the
world”.
I
was
one
of
the
people
who
came
from
all
parts
of
China
to
work
on
this
railway.
Taking
years
to
complete,
the
Qinghai-Tibet
Railway
is
a
record
of
all
of
our
efforts
to
___13___
the
most
difficult
engineering
challenges.
How
to
protect
the___14___
ecosystem
was
among
the
top___15___.
The
first
landmark
to
catch
my
eye
is
the
splendid
Qingshuihe
Bridge,
the
world’s
longest
bridge
built
over
permafrost.
Look!
A
group
of
Tibetan
antelopes
is
moving
under
the
bridge,
with
some
stopping
to
eat
grass____16____
their
leisure.
Thirty-three
passages
have
been
built
under
the
railway
to
allow
the
animals
to
move
safely
and
freely
in
their
natural___17___.
Wild
animals
such
as
these
Tibetan
antelopes
have
now
been
using
these
passages
for
years.
They
seem
totally___18___
that
we
are
speeding
past
at
over
100
kilometres
an
hour.
To
prevent
damage
to
wetlands
and
grasslands,
675
bridges
with
a
total
length
of
about
160
kilometres
were
built
between
Colmud
and
Lhasa.
We
even
moved
140,000
square
metres
of
wetland
to
a
new
area
in
order
to
protect
its___19___
ecosystem.
The
journey
has
been
flying
by,
and____20____
I
know
it,
we
have
reached
Tanggula
Station.
____21____
at
over
5,000
metres
above
sea
level,
this
is
the
highest
railway
station
in
the
world.
In
locations
such
as
this,
the
thin
air,
changeable
weather
and
high
levels
of
UV
radiation
presented
perhaps
the
greatest
challenge
for
railway
workers.
To
make
sure
we
stayed
healthy,
several
oxygen-making
stations
were____22____.
We
were
also
able
to
enjoy
regular
breaks
in
lower
areas.
As
we
pass
Cuona
Lake,
I
feel
a
sense
of____23____
and
achievement.
Using
thousands
and
thousands
of
sandbags,
we
built
a
twenty-kilometre
wall
along
the
lake
to
protect
it
from
construction
waste.
Cuona
Lake
is
so
close
to
the
railway
that
I
want
to
reach
our
and
touch
its
pale
blue
mirror-like
surface.
Water
birds
playing
in
the
lake,
and
cattle
and
sheep
wandering
the
grasslands
bring
the
scenery
to
life.
The
Qinghai-Tibet
Plateau
has
been
attracting
people’s____24____
for
centuries.
Now,
____25____
our
efforts,
passengers
from
all
over
the
country
have
been
enjoying
these
magical
landscapes.
I
am
proud
that
we
built
our
“impossible”
railway,
and
did
so
with
the
care
that
the
environment
deserves.
It
truly
is
an
extraordinary

Railway".

第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题；第26-30题，每小题3分；第31-40题，每小题2分，满分35分)
A
A
New
Chapter
The
day
I
heard
that
Rainbow
Bookstore
was
closing
after
50
years
of
business,
I
was
heartbroken.
The
bookstore,
which
was
a
legendary
fixture
in
the
neighbourhood,
was
a
place
where
anyone
could
drop
in
and
connect
through
their
love
of
books.
When
I
hurried
to
the
store,
I
saw
that
the
books
were
already
being
packed
into
boxes.
I
had
a
long
chat
with
Casey,
the
store’s
elderly
owner.
Sighing
deeply,
he
told
me
how
it
was
becoming
difficult
to
run
an
independent
bookstore.
Most
young
people
preferred
reading
e-books
on
tablets.
More
and
more
customers
were
being
attracted
by
chain
stores
and
online
discounts.
I
tried
to
think
of
some
words
of
sympathy,
but
I
had
to
admit
that
the
Rainbow
Bookstore
couldn’t
stay
in
business
much
longer.
A
few
months
later,
I
was
back
in
the
neighbourhood
during
my
spring
break
and
was
surprised
to
see
that
the
bookstore
was
still
there
and
opened
for
business.
Its
old
brick
walls
hadn’t
been
decorated,
but
inside
it
was
like
a
different
world.
In
one
area,
a
book
reading
was
being
delivered.
Nearby,
customers
were
poring
over
shelves
selling
stationery,
posters
and
other
best-seller-themed
gifts.
The
large
board
in
the
corner
where
customers’
comments
on
the
books
were
being
displayed
had
been
replaced
by
a
big
screen.
Clearly,
the
Rainbow
Bookstore
was
in
good,
creative
hands.
I
was
told
that
the
community
had
decided
to
work
together
on
a
program
to
save
Rainbow
Bookstore.
The
campaign
had
been
led
by
Jennifer
Oakley,
a
saleswoman
who
had
grown
up
in
the
neighbourhood
and
who
had
now
taken
over
the
bookstore
from
Casey.
Under
Jennifer’s
leadership,
the
bookstore
was
being
turned
into
a
place
for
literature-loving
members
of
the
community
to
get
together.
It
had
a
cafe
selling
organic
food,
and
there
were
now
more
community
events
such
as
book
readings,
poetry
recitals
and
even
jazz
concerts
and
movie
nights,
where
people
could
gather
to
share
an
experience
that
couldn’t
be
downloaded.
I
joined
old
Casey,
who
was
looking
up
at
the
screen
on
which
readers’
comments
kept
popping
up.
“Well,
as
you
can
see,
corporate
knowledge
combined
with
creativity
has
brought
my
humble
bookstore
into
the
21st
century!
I’m
so
pleased
to
see
that
everything
I
wanted
to
offer
to
the
community
is
still
here.”
26.
Why
did
Rainbow
Bookstore
face
close
down?
A.
Because
it
had
a
long
history.
B.
Because
people
no
longer
loved
reading.
C.
Because
it
was
affected
by
e-books
and
online
stores.
D.
Because
there
were
fewer
residents
in
the
neighbourhood.

B
THE
ROAD
TO
SUCCESS
Near
the
small
town
of
Grottoes,
Virginia,
a
narrow
dirt
road
goes
from
the
house
of
Stephen
Curry’s
grandfather
to
the
woods
nearby.
A
far
cry
from
the
bright
lights
and
shiny
courts
of
the
National
Basketball
Association
(NBA),
it
was
along
this
road
that
Stephen’s
grandfather
built
a
simple
basket
by
attaching
a
piece
of
plastic
to
a
telephone
pole.
Like
his
father,
basketball
star
Dell
Cury,
Stephen
spent
many
childhood
hours
playing
on
this
muddy
basketball
court.
He
probably
didn’t
realise
it
at
the
time,
but
it
was
where
he
learnt
to
be
creative
and
flexible
as
a
player.
You
see,
with
every
shot,
the
weak
plastic
backboard
gave
way.
The
bumps
and
rocks
that
lined
the
road
under
the
basket
caused
the
ball
to
bounce
in
all
directions.
Knowing
where
the
ball
would
go
wasn’t
easy.
He
had
to
adjust
his
own
playing
style
as
a
result.
Shooting
with
great
accuracy
was
another
thing
he
learnt.
Only
shots
perfectly
aimed
at
its
centre
went
into
the
heavy,
thick
basket.
In
this
way,
practising
day
in
and
day
out
helped
Stephen
sharpen
his
skills.
Despite
his
father’s
successful
career,
Stephen
was
thought
by
many
people,
including
his
high
school
teammates
and
coaches,
to
be
too
short,
too
thin
and
too
weak
to
follow
in
his
father’s
footsteps.
But
Stephen
carried
on.
Playing
basketball
was
his
dream.
He
would
not
give
up.
He
finally
ended
up
playing
college
ball
at
a
small,
little-known
school,
Davidson
College,
not
too
far
from
where
he
lived.
His
creativity
and
perseverance
made
him
Davidson’s
star
player.
Selected
for
the
NBA
in
2009,
Stephen
joined
the
Golden
State
Warriors.
He
performed
beyond
everyone’s
expectations
with
his
accurate
shooting
and
continuous
efforts.
In
2015,
Stephen
won
his
first
NBA
championship,
and
he
led
the
Warriors
to
their
first
championship
since
1975.
After
receiving
the
Most
Valuable
Player
award
for
two
years
in
row,
Stephen
explained
his
philosophy,
“I
never
really
set
out
to
change
the
game...
What
I
wanted
to
do
was
just
be
myself...
I
know
it
inspires
a
lot
of
the
next
generation,
a
lot
of
people
who
love
the
game
of
basketball
to
value
the
skill
of
it,
value
the
fact
that
you
can
work
every
single
day
to
get
better.
You’ve
got
to
be
able
to
put
in
the
time
and
the
work.
That’s
how
I
got
here.
That’s
how
I
continue
to
get
better
every
single
day.”
Inspiring
others
to
believe
in
themselves,
Stephen
Curry
is
living
proof
that
what
other
people
thing
of
you
does
not
have
to
influence
what
you
become.
Through
self-belief,
hard
work,
perseverance
and
some
help
from
an
old
hoop,
he
has
shown
that
anything
is
possible.

C
Nobody
laughed
when
the
UK
comedy
show
Little
Britain
toured
the
US.
Americans
didn’t
find
the
“British
stereotypes(刻板印象)”funny.
One
character
was
a
woman
who
was
sick
whenever
she
saw
a
foreigner.Another
was
a
loud
and
rude
15-year-old
girl
cursing(骂)at
her
teachers.But
back
home,British
people
were
laughing,thinking,“Yes!That’s
exactly
what
we’re
like!”
A
laugh
is
a
laugh
in
any
language,but
the
reasons
for
it
can
be
very
different.Britons
and
Americans
speak
the
same
language,but
humor
does
not
always
translate.
Take
The
Office
as
an
example.This
was
originally
a
UK
TV
series
but
it
was
changed
for
the
US.Both
the
US
and
UK
series
are
set
in
a
boring
workplace
in
a
boring
town.But
David
Brent,the
boss
of
the
UK
office,is
not
a
nice
guy
like
Michael
Scott
in
the
US
version.
“We
had
to
make
Michael
Scott
a
slightly
nicer
guy,”wrote
series
creator
Ricky
Gervais.“He
couldn’t
be
too
mean.”
Gervais
said
British
people
are
different
from
Americans
because“Britons
cruelly
make
fun
of
people
we
like
or
dislike…and
of
ourselves”.
He
believes
the
differences
between
the
American
and
British
senses
of
humor
are
because
of“our
upbringing”.
“Americans
are
brought
up
to
believe
they
can
be
the
next
president
of
the
United
States,”he
wrote.“Britons
are
told,‘It
won’t
happen
for
you’.”
Things
usually
turn
out
fine
at
the
end
of
every
US
Office
episode(集).
Even
if
they’re
not
perfect,
the
characters
“learn
a
lesson”
for
the
future.
But
in
David
Brent’s
office—and
in
lots
of
UK
comedies—the
last
scene
is
often
sad.
You
are
often
left
with
the
feeling
that
things
just
couldn’t
get
worse.
For
British
people,
this
seems
truer
to
life
and
so
much
funnier.
It’s
not
just
Britain
and
the
US
that
have
comic
differences.
Few
foreigners
would
understand
a
Chinese
cross-talk
show,for
example.
Cultural
differences
are
no
laughing
matter.
But
comic
differences
can
be
a
window
into
a
culture.
36.
What
is
the
purpose

paragraph?
A.

British
humor
is
not
funny
at
all.
B.
To
show
that
American
people
don't
understand
British
people.
C.
To
show
that

D.
To
show
how

may
mean
different
things
in
different
cultures.

Just
like
everyone,
I
have
experienced
ups
and
downs
in
my
life.
I
am
an
aerospace
engineer
from
India,
I
was
told
by
my
relatives,
close
friends
and
others
that
it
was
hard
for
a
non-IT
student
to
pursue
a
master's
degree
in
IT
and
graduate
from
a
US
university.
I
had
never
taken
courses
related
to
computers
or
programming.
I
was
never
interested
in
being
a
programmer,
but
things
changed.
I
became
so
fascinated
with
the
convenience
IT
has
brought
to
our
life
that
I
made
up
my
mind
in
chasing
a
master's
degree
in
IT.
At
first,
I
came
across
too
many
difficulties
and
ing
from
a
middle-class
family,
the
huge
cost
per
credit
was
a
big
issue.
My
English
accent
was
terrible.
Most
importantly,
the
course
seemed
impossible
at
first.
Although
I
felt
so
discouraged
and
frustrated,
I
never
thought
of
giving
up.
Then
I
decided
to
choose
my
university
because
it
promised
its
students
to
help
them
learn
practically.
During
my
first
month,
it
was
difficult
to
understand
the
Americans'
accent
and
finish
my
assignments.
But
I
never
gave
in.
I
walked
two
miles
to
the
university
every
day
so
that
I
could
use
my
travel
money
to
buy
a
meal.
I
started
looking
for
jobs
and
I
got
an
offer
to
work
as
a
student
assistant,
which
meant
lifting
benches
and
chairs
every
day.
I
took
all
these
challenges
as
my
chances,
and
I
believed
that
hard
work
was
my
strength.
Right
now
I
am
graduating
with
a
GPA
of
3.96/4
and
a
job
offer
from
a
multinational
company
that
has
asked
me
to
start
right
after
graduation.
When
you
have
a
dream
to
realize,
there
is
nothing
that
can
stop
you.
All
you
need
is
the
diligence
and
persistence.
Hard
work
always
pays
off.
Having
a
determined
will
is
also
necessary.

Why
did
the

family
and

IT?
