A
There’s nothing quite like a good road trip, is there? What better way to explore a new part of the world, see the sights and get to experience magical scenery on your way? But which roads are the most popular? Here are some of the roads whose photos are most frequently posted on Facebook.
Wild Atlantic Way
One thousand six hundred miles long, the Wild Atlantic Way crosses much of Ireland’s west coast. With views over the Atlantic Ocean, this winding road is home to amazing natural rock formations like the Cliffs of Moher and Slieve League.
Abbey Road
Home to perhaps the most famous image in the music world — the Beatles album (歌曲专辑) cover — Camden’s Abbey Road is near the Lord’s Cricket Ground. It’s one of the few roads on this list that doesn’t feature because of its driving charm!
Great Ocean Road
150 miles across Australia’s south-easterly coast, the Great Ocean Road is an incomparable drive for any road trip lovers. Built between 1919 and 1932 by Australian soldiers on their return from the First World War, it is also the world’s largest war memorial (纪念碑).
Carretera Austral
This 770-mile road provides access to Chilean Patagonia and has a variety of scenery to enjoy, from the vast rainforest to the hanging glacier in Queulat National Park.
So, if you’re looking for the perfect photo of a road (or road trip) to take your Facebook feed (动态) to the next level, you can follow our advice. Next step — booking your flight and finding a rental car. If you’re lucky enough to live near one of these roads, be sure to make the most of it!
1. If one is interested in studying rocks, which road trip can he take?
A. Wild Atlantic Way. B. Abbey Road.
C. Great Ocean Road. D. Carretera Austral.
2. What is special about the Great Ocean Road?
A. Its fascinating views. B. Its cultural attraction.
C. Its historic significance. D. Its unique location.
3. Where is the text likely from?
A. A news story. B. A travel magazine.
C. A construction report. D. A geography textbook.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是Facebook上最常发布照片的一些道路。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Wild Atlantic Way”部分中的“With views over the Atlantic Ocean, this winding road is home to amazing natural rock formations like the Cliffs of Moher and Slieve League.(在这条蜿蜒的道路上,可以看到大西洋的景色,这里有令人惊叹的天然岩层,比如莫赫悬崖和斯莱夫联盟悬崖。)”可知,在Wild Atlantic Way,拥有令人惊叹的天然岩层;,由此可知,如果对研究岩石感兴趣,可以选择Wild Atlantic Way。故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Great Ocean Road”部分中的“Built between 1919 and 1932 by Australian soldiers on their return from the First World War, it is also the world’s largest war memorial (纪念碑).(它建于1919年至1932年之间,由澳大利亚士兵在第一次世界大战归来时建造,也是世界上最大的战争纪念碑。)”可知,Great Ocean Road是由澳大利亚士兵在第一次世界大战归来时建造,也是世界上最大的战争纪念碑;由此可知,Great Ocean Road的特别之处在于它的历史意义。故选C项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“There’s nothing quite like a good road trip, is there? What better way to explore a new part of the world, see the sights and get to experience magical scenery on your way? But which roads are the most popular?(没有什么比公路旅行更美妙的了,不是吗?还有什么更好的方式来探索世界的一个新的部分,看风景,体验神奇的风景在你的路上?)”可知,本文介绍的是和公路旅行相关,所以本文应选自于旅行杂志。故选B项。
B
If you travel to the US and Egypt and forget to tip the hotel staff, it’s possible that you experience a rather awkward reaction. Similarly, if you give table staff a little extra money after a meal in France or Japan, then you’ll probably receive a similar response. Do the same in Argentina and you may even find yourself in trouble with the police — it’s illegal.
Not knowing where and who to tip in different countries can be something causing social trouble. But travel search site We go has now constructed an easy-to-follow infographic (信息图) showing where and when to tip when travelling abroad.
According to the infographic, no tipping should ever happen in Argentina, Japan Oman, Yemen and France. In Austria, Brazil, Netherlands, Russia, Chile, South Africa an Turkey, tipping is expected after eating in a restaurant, unless service charge in included. Tipping is left up to the customer in countries including the UK, Norway, Spain, Denmark and Germany. Deciding whether to leave a tip in these countries depends on the quality of service or experience.
“In the US, low pay earners in the service industry depend on tipping to increase their income, but in Romania, tips are often declined even if the servers may be also in need of the extra earnings,” explains Joachim Holte, Chief Marketing Officer for We go.
However, it seems that tipping traditions are changing throughout the world as more people travel abroad. Australia and New Zealand don’t have a history of tipping, yet travellers who are unaware of this fact have heightened some expectations from service staff.
If you haven’t done your homework before you go, remember you can always ask what the custom is from hotel staff. Most people will appreciate you taking the time to find out, and it’s a good way to avoid some very unpleasant situations.
4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. We must turn to the infographic when tipping.
B. The search site easily constructed an infographic.
C. The amount of tipping varies from country to country.
D. We should be careful with tipping in different countries.
5. What may have an effect on tipping in Denmark?
A. National laws. B. Dinner costs.
C. Servers’ performances. D. Customers’ incomes.
6. What does the underlined word “declined” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Expected. B. Refused. C. Doubled. D. Spent.
7. What probably causes the change in tipping traditions?
A. Influences from foreign cultures. B. Demands of the service industry.
C. The introduction of the infographic. D. The desire to avoid awkward situations.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同国家的小费文化和习俗,以及随着人们出国旅行的增多,小费传统在全球范围内发生的变化。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“If you travel to the US and Egypt and forget to tip the hotel staff, it’s possible that you experience a rather awkward reaction. Similarly, if you give table staff a little extra money after a meal in France or Japan, then you’ll probably receive a similar response. Do the same in Argentina and you may even find yourself in trouble with the police — it’s illegal.(如果你去美国和埃及旅行,却忘记给酒店员工小费,那么你可能会遇到一些尴尬的反应。同样地,如果你在法国或日本用餐后给服务员一点额外的小费,那么你可能会收到类似的反应。但如果你在阿根廷这样做,你可能会遇到警察的麻烦——因为在那里,这是非法的。)”和文章第二段“Not knowing where and who to tip in different countries can be something causing social trouble.(在不同的国家,不知道在哪里给谁小费可能会引发社会问题。)”可知,我们可以从这两段中得出结论,我们应该在不同国家的小费问题上小心谨慎。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Tipping is left up to the customer in countries including the UK, Norway, Spain, Denmark and Germany. Deciding whether to leave a tip in these countries depends on the quality of service or experience.(在英国、挪威、西班牙、丹麦和德国等国家,是否给小费取决于顾客自己。在这些国家,是否给小费取决于服务或体验的质量。)”可知,在丹麦等国家,是否给小费取决于服务的质量或体验,即服务员的表现会影响小费的多少。因此,服务员的表现会对丹麦的小费产生影响。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“In the US, low pay earners in the service industry depend on tipping to increase their income(在美国,服务行业的低收入者依靠小费来增加收入)”和“but”可知,罗马尼亚的服务员通常会拒绝小费,即使他们也需要额外的收入。由此可知,declined意为“拒绝”。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“However, it seems that tipping traditions are changing throughout the world as more people travel abroad. Australia and New Zealand don’t have a history of tipping, yet travellers who are unaware of this fact have heightened some expectations from service staff.( 然而,随着越来越多的人出国旅行,世界各地的小费传统似乎正在发生变化。澳大利亚和新西兰并没有小费的历史,但不知情的旅行者却对服务人员产生了一些过高的期望。)”可推知,外国文化的影响可能是导致小费传统变化的原因之一。故选A。
C
According to the great German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, you have the potential (潜能) for greatness inside of you, but like most people, you will probably let it be destroyed by your own laziness.
And just as it’s important not to spend all of our time in comfort, it’s also important not to spend it working too hard. You might argue that progress can be achieved through slavishness (苦干). But does it make any sense to achieve progress if it’s not enjoyable and if it doesn’t lead us to our potential? If we focus on progress simply for the progress itself, we may fail to live the meaningful life we are truly seeking.
The solution to this problem, then, lies in the middle between laziness and slavishness. I call that middle joyful productivity (生产力). It’s about spending your energy in a way that allows you to make meaningful progress each day and avoid the disasters of laziness.
As Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations, “…by reducing every man’s business to one simple operation, and by making this operation the only employment of his life, necessarily increases the skillfulness of the workman.” In his opinion, when you concentrate all of your attention on one area of expertise (专长), you can become a master in it. And when you become a master in that area, you can create things of value, thus promoting your productivity.
And how do you pick a single area of expertise? It should be something that you are really interested in, because only then will you be able and willing to spend the huge amount of time and effort it takes to become a master in any field.
The end of both laziness and slavishness begins with the discovery of your passions (热爱). Examine the things that caught your interest ever since you were a child before the world told you what you had to care about. The way forward lies within the examination of those early interests.
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Slavishness isn’t a good way to make progress.
B. Comfort doesn’t contribute to a meaningful life.
C. You can enjoy your life only by making progress.
D. Slavishness helps develop one’s greatest potential.
9. In The Wealth of Nations Adam Smith stresses the significance of _______.
A. increasing workmen B. focusing on one specific field
C mastering working skills D. creating valuable things
10. What is the function of the question in paragraph 5?
A To show the author’s confusion. B. To excite readers’ comment.
C. To express an opposite opinion. D. To introduce the next topic.
11. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A. Care about the world. B. Treasure their childhood.
C. Find their true passion. D. Prevent laziness.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了要在懒惰和过度苦干之间找到平衡,追求有意义的生产力和自我实现。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“And just as it’s important not to spend all of our time in comfort, it’s also important not to spend it working too hard. You might argue that progress can be achieved through slavishness (苦干). But does it make any sense to achieve progress if it’s not enjoyable and if it doesn’t lead us to our potential? If we focus on progress simply for the progress itself, we may fail to live the meaningful life we are truly seeking.(就像我们不应该把所有的时间都花在舒适上一样,我们也不应该把所有的时间都花在工作上。你可能会争辩说,通过苦干可以取得进步。但是,如果进步并不令人愉快,也不能引导我们发挥自己的潜能,那么这种进步有意义吗?如果我们仅仅为了进步本身而追求进步,我们可能会失去我们真正想要的有意义的生活。)”可知,第二段主要讲述了苦干不是一种好的进步方式。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“As Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations, “…by reducing every man’s business to one simple operation, and by making this operation the only employment of his life, necessarily increases the skillfulness of the workman.”(正如亚当·斯密在《国富论》中所写的那样,“将每个人的工作减少到一个简单的操作,并使这个操作成为他一生的唯一职业,必然会提高工匠的熟练程度。”)”可知,他强调了在某一特定领域专注的重要性。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“And how do you pick a single area of expertise? It should be something that you are really interested in, because only then will you be able and willing to spend the huge amount of time and effort it takes to become a master in any field.(那你如何选择一个专业领域呢?它应该是你真正感兴趣的东西,因为只有这样,你才能并愿意投入大量的时间和精力,成为任何领域的佼佼者。)”可知,在第五段中,作者通过提问“你如何选择一个专业领域?”来引导读者思考,并为下一段引入新的主题做铺垫。因此,该问题的功能是引入下一个话题。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The end of both laziness and slavishness begins with the discovery of your passions (热爱). Examine the things that caught your interest ever since you were a child before the world told you what you had to care about. The way forward lies within the examination of those early interests.(懒惰和苦干的终结始于你激情的发现。审视一下自从你还是个孩子以来就引起你兴趣的事情,那时世界还没有告诉你该关心什么。前进的道路在于审视这些早期的兴趣。)”可知,作者建议人们要找到自己的真正激情。故选C。

Move your body
You need to keep your muscle strength. This means that you can get out of a chair easily. Cross your arms and get out of your chair. ____15____ If it’s only two or three times, do it every day and see if you can build your muscles up. Regular aerobic (有氧的) exercise is also beneficial. Basically it means anything that increases your heart rate and get your lungs going. For example, when you’re going for a newspaper or walking the dog, go at a proper speed. ____16____
A. This is where science can help.
B. Aerobic exercise is not for all ages.
C. See how many times you can do it in 30 seconds.

34. Festivals are occasions ______ allow us to relax and enjoy life. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】that##which
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:节日是让我们放松和享受生活的场合。此处为关系词引导的定语从句,从句中缺少主语,所以使用关系代词,先行词occasions指的是场合,所以使用that或which。故填that/which。

【答案】scared
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:从她害怕的表情我可以看出她不喜欢狗。修饰名词look,指人的表情,需用形容词scared,作定语。故填scared。
37. The success of the task gave him strong ______ (believe) in his own abilities. (所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】have been selected
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:许多毕业生都申请了这份工作,目前已有8人被选中。根据时间状语“so far”可知,此处为现在完成时,eight of them和select为被动关系,需用被动语态。主语为复数意义,助动词用have。故填have been selected。
39. There are far more ____________(opportunity) for young people than there used to be. (所给词的适当形式填空)

根据提示翻译下列句子。
52 He ran to the bus station only to find the bus had gone. (英译汉)
________________________________________________________
【答案】他跑到了公交车站,却发现公交车已经快走了。
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式和宾语从句。He作主语,意为“他”;ran to意为“跑到”;the bus station为宾语,意为“公交车站”,only to find为动词不定式作结果状语,意为“却发现”,the bus had gone为省略连接词that的宾语从句作find的宾语,意为“公交车已经快走了”。故翻译为:他跑到了公交车站,却发现公交车已经快走了。
53. A visit to the Old Town allows tourists to experience a real taste of local culture. (英译汉)
________________________________________________________
【答案】游览古城使游客们能体验到真正的当地文化。

54. 我突然想到我没有关灯。(occur) (汉译英)
________________________________________________________
【答案】It occurred to me that I didn’t turn off the light(s)##It occurred to me that I hadn’t turned off the light(s) ##It occured to me that I (had) left the light(s) on.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型和动词时态。表示“某人突然想到……”可以使用固定句型it occured to sb (that)...,该结构中it为形式主语,that引导的是主语从句,此处表示过去事实,故使用一般过去时;表示“我没有关灯”,“灯”在此处即可以为单数也可以为复数,故用I didn’t turn off the light(s);或者表示动作发生在过去之前,故使用过去完成时的否定结构即 I hadn’t turned off the light(s);或者使用I (had) left the light(s) on,此处on为形容词,意为“开着的”,作宾补。故答案为It occurred to me that I didn’t turn off the light(s)或者It occurred to me that I hadn’t turned off the light(s)或者 It occured to me that I (had) left the light(s) on.

56. 站在窗户旁边的那个女生是我的同学。(-ing 形式当后置定语) (汉译英)
________________________________________________________
【答案】The girl standing by/near/beside the window is my classmate.
【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词。根据句意,表示“那个女生”应为the girl作主语,位于句首,首字母需大写;表示“站在窗户旁边的”应为stand by/near/beside the window,根据提示以及stand与the girl之间为主动关系可知,此处使用现在分词短语作定语修饰the girl,所以“站在窗户旁边的”应译为standing by/near/beside the window;表示“是”应为be动词,该句描述的为客观事实,所以使用一般现在时,主语为第三人称单数,be动词为is;表示“我的同学”应为my classmate作表语。故翻译为The girl standing by/near/beside the window is my classmate.

There’s nothing quite like a good road trip is there? What better way to explore a new part of the world, see the sights and get to experience magical scenery on your way? But which roads are the most popular? Here are some of the roads whose photos are most frequently posted on Facebook.
Wild Atlantic Way
One thousand six hundred miles long, the Wild Atlantic Way crosses much of Ireland’s west coast. With views over the Atlantic Ocean, this winding road is home to amazing natural rock formations like the Cliffs of Moher and Slieve League.
Abbey Road
Home to perhaps the most famous image in the music world — the Beatles album (歌曲专辑) cover — Camden’s Abbey Road is near the Lord’s Cricket Ground. It’s one of the few roads on this list that doesn’t feature because of its driving charm!
Great Ocean Road
150 miles across Australia’s south-easterly coast, the Great Ocean Road is an incomparable drive for any road trip lovers. Built between 1919 and 1932 by Australian soldiers on their return from the First World War, it is also the world’s largest war memorial (纪念碑).
Carretera Austral
This 770-mile road provides access to Chilean Patagonia and has a variety of scenery to enjoy, from the vast rainforest to the hanging glacier in Queulat National Park.
So, if you’re looking for the perfect photo of a road (or road trip) to take your Facebook feed (动态) to the next level, you can follow our advice. Next step — booking your flight and finding a rental car. If you’re lucky enough to live near one of these roads, be sure to make the most of it!
1. If one is interested in studying rocks, which road trip can he take?
A. Wild Atlantic Way. B. Abbey Road.
C. Great Ocean Road. D. Carretera Austral.
2. What is special about the Great Ocean Road?
A. Its fascinating views. B. Its cultural attraction.
C. Its historic significance. D. Its unique location.
3. Where is the text likely from?
A. A news story. B. A travel magazine.
C. A construction report. D. A geography textbook.
B
If you travel to the US and Egypt and forget to tip the hotel staff, it’s possible that you experience a rather awkward reaction. Similarly, if you give table staff a little extra money after a meal in France or Japan, then you’ll probably receive a similar response. Do the same in Argentina and you may even find yourself in trouble with the police — it’s illegal.
Not knowing where and who to tip in different countries can be something causing social trouble. But travel search site We go has now constructed an easy-to-follow infographic (信息图) showing where and when to tip when travelling abroad.
According to the infographic, no tipping should ever happen in Argentina, Japan Oman, Yemen and France. In Austria, Brazil, Netherlands, Russia, Chile, South Africa an Turkey, tipping is expected after eating in a restaurant, unless service charge in included. Tipping is left up to the customer in countries including the UK, Norway, Spain, Denmark and Germany. Deciding whether to leave a tip in these countries depends on the quality of service or experience.
“In the US, low pay earners in the service industry depend on tipping to increase their income, but in Romania, tips are often declined even if the servers may be also in need of the extra earnings,” explains Joachim Holte, Chief Marketing Officer for We go.
However, it seems that tipping traditions are changing throughout the world as more people travel abroad. Australia and New Zealand don’t have a history of tipping, yet travellers who are unaware of this fact have heightened some expectations from service staff.
If you haven’t done your homework before you go, remember you can always ask what the custom is from hotel staff. Most people will appreciate you taking the time to find out, and it’s a good way to avoid some very unpleasant situations.
4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. We must turn to the infographic when tipping.
B. The search site easily constructed an infographic.
C. The amount of tipping varies from country to country.
D. We should be careful with tipping in different countries.
5 What may have an effect on tipping in Denmark?
A. National laws. B. Dinner costs.
C. Servers’ performances. D. Customers’ incomes.
6. What does the underlined word “declined” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Expected. B. Refused. C. Doubled. D. Spent.
7. What probably causes the change in tipping traditions?
A. Influences from foreign cultures. B. Demands of the service industry.
C. The introduction of the infographic. D. The desire to avoid awkward situations.
C
According to the great German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, you have the potential (潜能) for greatness inside of you, but like most people, you will probably let it be destroyed by your own laziness.
And just as it’s important not to spend all of our time in comfort, it’s also important not to spend it working too hard. You might argue that progress can be achieved through slavishness (苦干). But does it make any sense to achieve progress if it’s not enjoyable and if it doesn’t lead us to our potential? If we focus on progress simply for the progress itself, we may fail to live the meaningful life we are truly seeking.
The solution to this problem, then, lies in the middle between laziness and slavishness. I call that middle joyful productivity (生产力). It’s about spending your energy in a way that allows you to make meaningful progress each day and avoid the disasters of laziness.
As Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations “…by reducing every man’s business to one simple operation, and by making this operation the only employment of his life, necessarily increases the skillfulness of the workman.” In his opinion, when you concentrate all of your attention on one area of expertise (专长), you can become a master in it. And when you become a master in that area, you can create things of value, thus promoting your productivity.
And how do you pick a single area of expertise? It should be something that you are really interested in, because only then will you be able and willing to spend the huge amount of time and effort it takes to become a master in any field.
The end of both laziness and slavishness begins with the discovery of your passions (热爱). Examine the things that caught your interest ever since you were a child before the world told you what you had to care about. The way forward lies within the examination of those early interests.
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Slavishness isn’t a good way to make progress.
B. Comfort doesn’t contribute to a meaningful life.
C. You can enjoy your life only by making progress.
D. Slavishness helps develop one’s greatest potential.
9. In The Wealth of Nations Adam Smith stresses the significance of _______.
A. increasing workmen B. focusing on one specific field
C. mastering working skills D. creating valuable things
10. What is the function of the question in paragraph 5?
A. To show the author’s confusion. B. To excite readers’ comment.
C. To express an opposite opinion. D. To introduce the next topic.
11. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A. Care about the world. B. Treasure their childhood.
C. Find their true passion. D. Prevent laziness.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有丙项为多余选项。
How to live a longer and healthier life
We’re all going to get old — but what if we could live a longer, happier and healthier life? ____12____ We’ve asked some experts to find out the changes that can have the biggest impact on our health, happiness and longevity. Here are the three areas you can really make difference.
Socialising
Having friends can be just as important to living longer as giving up smoking. Keep in mind best friends don’t occur overnight. ____13____ Therefore putting time to existing relationships is important. Don’t be upset if you don’t find a best friend in a short time. Being patient and not expecting too much too soon can be helpful.
What you eat
First, don’t eat too much, so you keep a reasonable weight. It’s also important to watch your protein. Don’t eat too much protein, but you should eat more if you’re older to avoid muscle weakness. Another point you need to pay attention to is the intake of salt and sugar, which are mostly found in processed foods. Last, up the plant food. ____14____
