First let me introduce myself. My name is John Barker, and I work at an institution. As most of you know, I'm here to talk about students' summer jobs. In many parts of the world, university students work in the summer. They need the money, and they can get some working experience. Traditionally, they get jobs as servers, cashiers, and lifeguards at swimming pools. These days, however, more and more students are working at dotcoms. Dotcoms are Internet­based companies which offer goods and services online. Today's young people already know a lot about computers, and they can quickly learn more. The pay is usually much better than at the traditional summer jobs. There are other advantages besides the pay. Students see dotcom jobs as a good start on their future. In addition to providing good experience, the work is also enjoyable for most. On top of this, their co­workers treat them with respect. Dotcoms are new and need new ways of thinking. Imagination is more important than formal qualifications. So some students are even quitting school to start their own dotcoms. 18．Who are the listeners? A．Servers. B．Cashiers. C．Students. 答案：C 19．What is dotcom? A．A computer shop. B．A department store. C．An Internet­based company. 答案：C 20．Which is mentioned by the speaker? A．Where to apply for a dotcom job. B．Why to choose a dotcom job. C．How to get a dotcom job. 答案：B 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A If you are longing for a hike in Alaska and aren't sure where to start, here are our favorites. There's something for all levels of skills and ambitions. The Kenai River Trail 　A half mile down this trail are wonderful views of the Kenai River Canyon. There are really two trailheads (小道的起点); the main “upper” trail starts at mile 0.6 of Skilak Lake Rd, and the other at mile 2.3. Turnagain Arm Trail 　This 11­mile hike begins at Potter Trailhead (Mile 115). Initially used by Alaska Natives, the trail, can also be accessible to points along the way: McHugh Creek (Mile 112), Rainbow (Mile 108) and Windy (Mile 107)． Iditarod National Historic Trail The National Historic Iditarod Trail is a 24­mile hike used by gold miners and sled­dog teams until 1918, when the Alaska Railroad was finished. It's a two­to­three day hike through superb mountain scenery to Girdwood (where it's known as the Crow Pass Trail), and is the region's best backpack adventure. Put up a tent at Echo Bend (Mile 3), or rent one of two yurts (毡房) ($65 per night) close by. For a shorter outing you can turn around at the Perch, then return to the Dew Mound Trail at Echo Bend and then to the Nature Center, making this a scenic 8­mile trip. 　Reed Lakes Trail Two alpine lakes, waterfalls, glaciers and towering granite (花岗岩) walls: the 7­to­9­mile Reed Lakes Trail is one of the most wonderful hikes in the region, and worth the climb. Once you reach upper Reed Lake, continue 1 mile to Bomber Glacier, where the ruin of a B­29 bomber lies in memorial to six men who died in a 1957 crash. 篇章导读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些在美国阿拉斯加远足时适合去的地方。 21．Which of the following was originally used by Alaska Natives?

D.Reed Lakes Trail. 答案：B　细节理解题。根据Turnagain Arm Trail中的“Initially used by Alaska Natives, the trail, can also be accessible to points along the way (这条小道最初由阿拉斯加原住民使用，沿途也可以到达以下地点)”可知，Turnagain Arm Trail最初是阿拉斯加原住民使用的。故选B。 22．At which place can hikers set up a tent? A．Girdwood. B.Potter Trailhead. C.Echo Bend. D.Turnagain Arm. 答案：C　细节理解题。根据Iditarod National Historic Trail中的“Put up a tent at Echo Bend (Mile 3)”可知，徒步旅行者可以在Echo Bend搭帐篷。故选C。 23．What will visitors see at Bomber Glacier? A．A memorial to six heroes. B.A tower made of granite. C．The ruin of a B­29 bomber. D.One of the most gorgeous waterfalls. 答案：C　细节理解题。根据Reed Lakes Trail中的“Bomber Glacier, where the ruin of a B­29 bomber ... to six men who died in a 1957 crash (Bomber Glacier(伯默尔冰川)那里停放着一架B­29轰炸机的残骸，以纪念在1957年坠机事故中遇难的6名男子)”可知，游客们将在伯默尔冰川看到B­29轰炸机的残骸。故选C。 B A winter storm hit overnight. I opened my back door only to find six inches of wet, heavy snow piled up against it. I knew I had quite a job of shoveling out ahead of me, so I grabbed my snow shovel. It looked a lot more ready to work than I did. I sighed and pulled on my boots, gloves and heavy coat. The cold wind was below zero and cut into my face as I slowly shoveled off my car roof. After that, I started my way to my daughter's house, shoveling the path as I walked. It took a while to get her driveway clear and I knew I still had a lot to do. Next came the paths down the hill to my own car covered in snow. I grabbed the broom to sweep them off as well. I felt uncomfortable when the wind blew the swept snow back. Then I started to shovel out my driveways. My back was aching as I worked. I wished I could be building a snowman instead of shoveling. Winter sure had seemed a lot more fun when I was a boy. When I finished, I examined my work. It didn't look half bad. I smiled and looked at the woods covered in white. They were such a special sight. I leaned on my shovel and took it all in. Then I thanked God for the beauty of the day and started up the hill with the snow shovel in one hand and the broom in the other. Suddenly, an urge came over me and I dropped them both. I spread my arms, fell back into the blanket of white and happily moved my arms and legs to make an angel in the snow. As you go through the seasons of this life, take joy in your work, take joy in your play, take joy in your life. Remember that the course of your days rests in your own hands. And always know in your heart that God loves you through the snowstorms as well as in the sunshine. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了冬季风暴来袭后的第二天，作者屋外积了厚厚的雪，他开始努力铲雪，非常辛苦，但他也从中领悟到要享受生活中的快乐。 24．According to the first paragraph, why did the author sigh?

At the ongoing World Class Theater for Chinese Audiences meeting on Thursday, the dialogue Theatre and Youth: Theater Practice for Youth dealt with this issue. Wang Keran, a producer from a Chinese cultural company, stressed that the theater industry needs to carry out comprehensive (综合性的) education concerning the theater for the young, while Zhou Xing from China's Ministry of Education said that theater education has a broader definition, which includes human thoughts, emotions and expression. 　Overseas theater directors and actors including Jean Varela, Florence Mach and Oriol Broggi, also share their experiences and thoughts on this topic. In the eyes of Varela, theater education is one of the most important means to raise people's ability to appreciate the artform. “I was forced by my mum to attend these performance classes in the hope of helping me get rid of my shyness over my obesity (肥胖) when I was a kid. It turned out she was right，” he said. March, who focuses on arts education and research, said that his project Spring of School aims to help youngsters aged 14－16 with the goal of “helping them become better people”． These guests also gave different advice to encourage more and more young people to walk into the theaters. Anais Martane came up with the idea of low­priced student tickets on days like Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, which she said will help kids turn the performing arts into a hobby. “In France, the price for kids can be very low, so that parents can take them to many plays. This is also an important part of theater education，” she said. 篇章导读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了以“戏剧与青年：青年戏剧实践”为主题的一场会议，这场会议就如何对年轻人进行戏剧教育，并吸引他们进入剧院的问题进行讨论，且列举了不同人的看法和建议。 28．What is the experts' common opinion about theater education? A．It should be carried out by Chinese cultural companies. B．It teaches the youth to share their experiences and thoughts. C．It can raise the youth's ability to perform arts at school. D．It plays an important role in the education for the youth. 答案：D　推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，中国文化公司制片人王可然强调，戏剧产业需要对青少年进行综合性的戏剧教育，而中国教育部周星则表示，戏剧教育的定义更广泛，包括人的思想、情感和表达。由此可推知，专家们认为戏剧教育在青少年教育中发挥着重要作用。故选D。 29．What can we learn from Varela's example? A．Parents are the first teachers in theater education. B．Arts are of value in children's education. C．Children dislike arts performance classes. D．Shyness prevents children from performing arts. 答案：B　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In the eyes of Varela ... appreciate the artform.(在瓦雷拉看来，戏剧教育是提高人们欣赏艺术形式能力的最重要手段之一。)”可推知，艺术在儿童教育中很有价值。故选B。 30．What is Anais Martane's suggestion? A．Starting a Spring of School project. B．Offering students a discount on ticket prices. C．Organizing students to perform arts in theaters. D．Giving free tickets to parents. 答案：B　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Anais Martane came up with the idea of low－priced student tickets(安娜伊思·马田提出了提供低价学生票的想法)”可知，Anais Martane的建议是为学生提供票价折扣。故选B。 31．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Discover Youth's Artistic Talent B．Meet Arts Experts Around the World C．Appreciate Art Forms Worldwide D．Perform Arts Education for Youth 答案：D　标题判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要内容是讨论关于青少年戏剧教育的问题。由此可知，D项(青少年表演艺术教育)最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D Gallows humor (黑色幽默) seem like a mistake, or at least in poor taste. But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress. “Humor makes you feel in control and it can give you that feeling that everything is okay even when it's not，” says James M. Jones, a psychology professor at the University of Delaware. Psychologists say that just because you're laughing doesn't mean you're wasting time. Occasional teasing among colleagues, particularly if it revolves around things associated with the job, can boost creativity, departmental cohesiveness (凝聚力) and performance. 　“There are a lot of stressors out there，” says Ed Dunkelblau, a psychologist with the Institute for Emotionally Intelligent Learning in Chicago. “But gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult.” This is true as long as the humor is used for the right purpose. The main point of it should be inspiring people—not laughing at them. “Anything that would lift morale (士气) in terms of the company would be good humor，” says Thierry Guedj, a professor of business and psychology at Boston University. “Before you say or do anything, think about, ‘How is this helping my employees' morale？’” You want to give your employees and co­workers a sense of belonging, so don't make observations that are aggressive. Most obviously, Dr Guedj says, don't make comments about people's physical appearance, or faith. If you have any doubt, it's appropriate, don't go through with it. Or you can take aim at the one person you know won't be offended (冒犯): Yourself. “If there's going to be a joke or story, it should be you，” Mr Dunkelblau says. For example, if you're a marketing manager reviewing a failed campaign that you led, begin with a line like, “The guy who gave permission to this deal might just be looking for work next week.” 　“People with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves too，” Mr Jones says. “And if you can laugh at yourself, you feel better about yourself.” 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了黑色幽默所起的巨大的作用，以及在展示黑色幽默的时候，我们要注意的细节问题。 32．According to the text, gallows humor has the following functions EXCEPT ________． A．reducing pressure B．improving performance C．making people more creative D．leading to a big mistake 答案：D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress.”和第二段第二句中的“can boost creativity, departmental cohesiveness (凝聚力) and performance”可知，文章没有提及黑色幽默会导致大错误。故选D。 33．What is Ed Dunkelblau's attitude towards gallows humor? A．Positive. B.Negative. C．Neutral. D.Uncertain. 答案：A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult.”可知，黑色幽默是让困难的事情变得容易的一个方法。由此可推知，他对黑色幽默持积极的态度。故选A。 34．Which of the following would Dr Guedj most probably agree with? A．Gallows humor is the basic source of morale. B．Gallows humor allows people to laugh at others. C．Gallows humor may sometimes be used for the wrong purpose. D．Anything that may lift morale can be called gallows humor. 答案：C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This is true as long as ... says Thierry Guedj”可知，他认为只要幽默被用于正当方面的时候，就会有很好的作用。由此可推知，幽默可能有时被用于错误的目的。故选C。 35．When people use gallows humor, they should ________． A．observe who is aggressive B．show a sense of belonging C．doubt about the result of humor D．try to avoid irritating others 答案：D　推理判断题。根据第五段中的“so don't make observations ... about people's physical appearance, or faith”可知，当我们在展示幽默的时候，不要嘲笑别人的缺点。由此可推知，当人们使用黑色幽默时，要避免冒犯到别人。故选D。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Is it true that British people have a different sense of humor than people in other countries? Let's have a look at what we laugh at in Britain. __36__ It's not just politicians who make us laugh, but anyone whose job is to tell other people what to do and who takes themselves too seriously. We laugh at authority, but also sympathetically laugh with anyone who we think is treated badly. __37__ Our clowns are often silly people doing silly things—Mr Bean, for example—while in America, they are often clever people doing clever things and winning. 　The fact that we laugh when other people might feel hopeless is one of the oddest things to appreciate about British humor. We do have a strong sense of irony (反讽). “Not very pleasant，” we might say after some terrible experience. __38__ “It's a bit windy today，” we might say in the middle of a typhoon, or “There's a slight problem，” when something has gone very seriously wrong. __39__ Another thing that can make it difficult to understand British humor is that we don't always laugh or even smile when we say something funny. __40__ 　Do you think the British sense of humor is unique？ A．In addition, we tend to play things down. B．We often keep a straight face even when we're making a joke. C．Culture plays a big part in how funny you may find something. D．We know they can't win, but if they do so sometimes, it's even funnier. E．Brits don't express extreme feelings; we just “keep calm and carry on”． F．Brits turn to laughter as a form of medicine when life knocks them down. G．To the British, powerful and important people are often sources of laughter. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英式幽默的特点。 36．G　根据下文“It's not just politicians who make us laugh, but anyone whose job is to tell other people what to do and who takes themselves too seriously.(让我们发笑的不仅有政客，还有那些以告诉别人该做什么为职责的人以及那些把自己看得太重要的人。)”可知，此处应指出在英国，哪些人会让人们发笑。G项(对英国人来说，有权有势的人物常常是笑料。)切题，选项中的powerful and important people对应下文中的politicians，故选G。 37．D　根据上文“We laugh at authority, but also sympathetically laugh with anyone who we think is treated badly.(我们会嘲笑权威，但也会同情地笑那些我们认为受到虐待的人。)”可知，此处应指出我们如何从弱者那里获得欢笑。D项(我们知道他们不可能赢，但如果他们有时赢了，那就更有趣了。)切题，选项中的they指代上文中的anyone who we think is treated badly，故选D。 38．A　根据上文“We do have a strong sense of irony (反讽). ‘Not very pleasant，’ we might say after some terrible experience.(我们确实有强烈的反讽意识。当一些糟糕的经历发生后，我们可能会说‘不是很愉快’。)”可知，此处应指出英国人在淡化一些严重的事情。A项(此外，我们倾向于淡化一些事情。)切题。故选A。 39．E　根据上文“‘It's a bit windy today，’ we might say in the middle of a typhoon, or ‘There's a slight problem，’ when something has gone very seriously wrong.(‘今天有点风’，我们可能会在台风中说，或者当一些事情变得非常严重的时候，说‘有个小问题’。)”可知，此处应指出英国人不表达极端的感情。E项(英国人不表达极端的情绪，我们只是保持冷静，继续下去。)切题。故选E。 40．B　根据上文“Another thing that can make it difficult to understand British humor is that we don't always laugh or even smile when we say something funny.(另一件让我们很难理解英式幽默的事情是，当我们说一些有趣的事情时，我们并不总是笑，甚至不笑。)”可知，B项(即使在开玩笑的时候，我们也经常板着脸。)切题，选项中straight face对应上文中的don't always laugh or even smile，故选B。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last month, when Alex posted a video of him working on the painting of a fox on social media, his fans were amazed to find him holding a brush in his __41__ because he has lost the use of his hands. Drawing and painting always came __42__ to Alex. When he was a kid, he would sit down to draw something almost every day. It continued through high school and college. 　But in 2004, Alex __43__ a rare disease that caused sensory (知觉的) loss and weakness. One day, he suddenly could not use his left hand.

After finishing my homework, I was so tired that I fell asleep immediately. Suddenly, I saw a UFO land in the yard. Out came an alien, who looked tall and strong with two heads and three eyes. When I saw the alien walking towards me, I was too astonished to move. The alien seemed to be saying something to greet me but I couldn't understand it. Just at that time, a loud noise woke me up. It was my alarm clock. Do you think my dream is interesting? Write to me about your dream. Yours， Li Hua 第二节(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。 My mother was a supporter of physical punishment, but for all her talking she has never spanked (打屁股) my siblings, and me only once. Instead she found ways of punishment that left a more lasting memory than giving us a spanking. One of the most memorable of these occasions occurred when I was four. In the early 70's my mother attended college during the day and I was in day care. One day at day care I watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter. The little girl asked, “Momma, are we going to McDonald's for dinner？” The mother replied, “Honey, not tonight. Momma has to run a few errands (差事) and then we have to go home and cook dinner for Daddy.” “But I wanna go.” “Susie, I said not tonight. Maybe, if you are a good girl, we can go tomorrow.” Susie immediately dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming, “I want to go to McDonald's.” 　No amount of pleading (恳求) or scolding her mother tried stopped Susie's tantrum (发脾气). Finally her mother gave in, “Okay, Susie, let's go to McDonald's.” Susie stopped yelling. With a smile on her face she grabbed her mother's hand and they left. To say I was amazed would be inaccurate (不准确的); I was delighted that anything I wanted could be had by throwing a tantrum. That day my mother picked me up early from day care because we were going to a store to purchase some Christmas items. I was excited by the lights and decorations, and as we walked through the toy section on the way to the counter, I saw a toy I had to have. It was a white and red telephone whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string. Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked, “Mama, can I have that telephone？” She replied, “Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl, maybe Santa will bring it to you.” “But Mama, I want that telephone right now.” Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine. “Becky, you can't have that telephone today, but if you misbehave, you can have a spanking.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 By now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 “Mama, stop.

I lay down on the ground and began screaming, “I want that telephone，” over and over again. Weary Christmas shoppers looked as my mother calmly said, “Becky, you had better get up by the count of three or else ... One ... Two ... Three.” Nothing. I was still in full tantrum. So then she lay down beside me on the floor, and began kicking and screaming, “I want a new car. I want a new house. I want some jewelry. I want ...” Shocked, I stood up. 　 “Mama, stop. Mama, get up，” I tearfully pleaded. She stood, and brushed herself off. At first stunned, the others waiting in line began to clap, and before I knew it they were cheering and laughing and patting my mother on her back. She blushed and took a little bow and the next thirty minutes in line was pure misery for me as various parents leaving the store, shake their heads at me and say with a smile, “Your mom got you good. I bet you'll never try that again.” And I didn't, because it left a lasting mental picture more effective than any physical mark. 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
