His sister Janet had shut her eyes and was counting up to ten. When Ian noticed that the small metal door of the letter box had been left open. The postman had just taken all the letters out and had gone into the post office to see if there were any parcels. He in climbed into the letter box and pulled the door from the inside so hard that it locked. Soon realizing what he had done he became very frightened and started crying.

Parental Guidance's expert Dr. Justin Coulson breaks down each way you can raise your kids. Attachment parenting This is about the parent and the child being as close as possible physically and emotionally. Attachment parenting is usually for babies and young children just learning to walk. French parenting French parenting is about allowing adults to live their adult lives while encouraging children to be children, but not interfere (妨碍) with the adults' lives. The expectation on children is that if they're going to interfere, they need to do it in a mature way that respects that the adults have lives to live. French parenting encourages children to do things on their own and also to have high expectations. Helicopter parenting Helicopter parents don't want their children to suffer at all. They do things for their children that they can and ought to do for themselves, especially outside the home. Free­range parenting It's about trusting your children and giving them the skills to find their limits. It's a push back against anxious, risk opposing parenting; against helicoptering, making­sure­everything­is­OK parenting that so many of us fall victim to. Routine parenting Routine parenting is all about arrangement and routine. It improves efficiencies. You get a lot done. Everything has its place and there's a place for everything. But it places high demands on the leader. And too much focus on routine can prevent new ideas, connection and fun. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇应用文。文章对养育孩子的不同方式进行了详细分析。 21．Which style best suits parents with children under 3? A．Attachment parenting. B．French parenting. C．Helicopter parenting. D．Free­range parenting. A　解析：细节理解题。根据Attachment parenting部分中的“Attachment parenting is usually for babies and young children just learning to walk.”可知，最适合三岁以下孩子的父母的方式是依恋养育。 22．What do French parenting and Free­range paren­ting have in common? A．Leaving children in anxiety. B．Expecting too much of children. C．Encouraging children to be independent. D．Wishing children to be OK in everything. C　解析：细节理解题。根据French parenting部分中的“French parenting encourages children to do things on their own and also to have high expectations.”以及Free­range parenting部分中的“It's about trusting your children and giving them the skills to find their limits.”可知，法国式育儿和自由放养式育儿的共同点是鼓励儿童独立。 23．What is a disadvantage of Routine parenting? A．It's all about arrangement. B．It's of little efficiency. C．It takes place everywhere. D．It discourages creativity. D　解析：推理判断题。根据Routine parenting部分中的“And too much focus on routine can prevent new ideas, connection and fun.”可推知，常规育儿的缺点是阻碍了创造力。 B Yvonne and I had a consulting business.Yvonne used to be CEO of a London insurance company and I was on the board of a branding agency, so we had decided to join forces and build something together.The company, Dutch Engels, did very well quickly and we were running around like headless chickens.There was lots of travel—Singapore, the EU, and we'd won a project where the client wanted us to spend six months in the US.We'd be standing on the platform getting a tube at seven in the morning, thinking, “Why are we juggling all this? There must be a better way to live.” In April 2018, we were in Edinburgh for work, rushing off our feet, when someone at the meeting said that we looked like we needed a break.She suggested we go to one of the islands for a couple of days.It wasn't a bad idea.Yvonne looked on the map and spotted this tiny island, less than eight miles long and two miles wide.It looked like it was in the tropics—turquoise blue water and golden sand beaches.We headed there. The ferry journey from Oban was splendid—you've got the mountains, the ocean, the yachts.It was a world we didn't even know existed.Everything conspired (共同促成) to make us fall in love with the place.Both of us were feeling this gut instinct (直觉) which said, “This feels like home.Make this our home.” The great thing about having your own business is that you can make those decisions.That same day, instead of looking for a place to spend a holiday, we started looking for a place to live.The back windows looked on to the sea and the hills with nothing blocking the view.We went back to London and sold our apartment.By October, we'd moved here permanently. We ended up raising sheep there and they're not cheap.We went ahead and launched a woolly hat business—WELAN.We sell online and in the shop on Tiree harbour.Yvonne does the spinning and the knitting.I wash the wool, separate the fibres—all the dirty jobs.We still run the consultancy (咨询公司). 【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和伊冯有一家咨询公司，他们非常忙碌，一次偶然的机会，他们去了爱丁堡的一个小岛度假，作者喜欢上了这个小岛，后来卖掉公寓，永远搬到了小岛上，过上了快乐的生活的故事。 24．What do Yvonne and I mean by “Why are we juggling all this”？ A．They made a mess in the business. B．They experienced a sense of failure. C．They were tired of the present life. D．They had to travel here and there. C　解析：句意理解题。根据第一段中的“There must be a better way to live.”可推知，他们厌倦了现在的生活。 25．Why did Yvonne and I go to an island? A．To go on business. B．To have a break. C．To attend a meeting. D．To inspect the beaches. B　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知，他们是去一个小岛上休息一下。 26．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Their love for the island. B．Their exploration around the island. C．Their decision on the move. D．Their feelings during the journey. A　解析：段落大意题。根据第三段中对这次旅行的描述和作者的感叹“This feels like home.Make this our home.”以及“We went back to London and sold our apartment.By October, we'd moved here permanently.”可知，第三段主要讲述了他们对小岛的爱。 27．Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Splendid Journey, Peaceful Mood B．Beautiful Harbors, Dream Home C．Joint Forces, Hard Work D．Tiny Island, Better Life D　解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了作者和伊冯一次偶然的机会去了爱丁堡的一个小岛度假，并喜欢上了这个小岛，最终永远搬到了小岛上，过上了快乐的生活的故事。由此可知，D项适合作本文最佳标题。 C The term “underemployment” has three related meanings.In one sense, it refers to a situation in which someone with excellent job qualifications is working in a position that requires less qualifications, as for instance in the case of a lawyer driving a school bus.In the second sense, it means working part­time when one would prefer to be working full­time. In the third sense, it is a form of over­staffing (人浮于事) in which employees are not being fully made use of. All forms of underemployment have effect on the economy and the health of the business community.Long­term underemployment can also cover up the truth behind the employment situations.When nations collect employment statistics, they usually come up with a base number of “unemployed” individuals, using that number to judge the health of the job market.This number does not include part­time workers looking for full­time jobs, as they are considered employed, and it also doesn't reflect workers who are underpaid, considering their qualifications. In the first sense, underemployment is a common problem in many of the developed world.Many people with college degrees are working in low­level or service industry jobs because the job market is full. The issue of part­time employment is also very serious.Some people are forced into part­time jobs, while others find themselves taking a part­time job because nothing else is available, even though they really need to work full­time.This problem is especially common in areas with seasonal employment, where employers find it cheaper to maintain and lay off part­time staffs, rather than keeping a full staff at all times. In the sense of shortage of workers, underemployment appears in a variety of situations.Some companies maintain a full staff to be prepared for seasonal work, or to keep well­trained, qualified workers so that they will be available when needed.Labor laws and union pressures may also prevent a company from cutting down on staff or working hours, leading to a situation in which people report to work, but have nothing to do. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。低度就业或不充分就业不是指没有工作，常常指有着某种专业资格的人从事着非专业的工作，也指本应该从事全职工作，而实际在做临时工作，或者人浮于事的状态。文章给我们介绍的就是低度就业的三个层面及其形成原因。 28．What does underemployment mean according to the passage? A．The same meaning as the word—unemployed. B．Employees are not fully taken charge of. C．Qualified workers get a low salary. D．People who do manual work for wages. B　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In the third sense, it is a form of over­staffing in which employees are not being fully made use of.”可知，低度就业指的是雇员没有被充分利用。 29．What can we know when it comes to unemployment statistics? A．The underpaid workers are included. B．It implies the people who are jobless. C．The part­time employees are included. D．It shows the employment situation of a country. B　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When nations collect employment...considering their qualifications.”可知，国家统计的失业率不包括正在找全职工作的临时工，也不包括酬不抵劳的人。由此可知，失业率的统计数据仅包括没有工作的人。 30．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．Underemployment only occurs in advanced countries. B．People with college degrees sometimes take a part­time job. C．Part­time staffs seem to benefit from firms less. D．Companies need full­time staffs indeed. A　解析：细节理解题。第三段提到在发达国家低度就业很常见，A项“低度就业仅发生在发达国家”过于绝对。 31．What's the purpose of the passage? A．To show underemployment is becoming more serious today. B．To imply women are laid off more than men. C．To explain the meaning of “underemployment”． D．To tell the present economic situations. C　解析：写作意图题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了低度就业的含义、三个层面及其形成原因。 D To write his book about world diet, nutritionist Harley Paster traveled to the healthiest countries around the world to learn more about what made their meals special. He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds, and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal.Paster also came away with some valuable observations about how different the North American way of life was, compared with many other countries. For starters, Americans eat much bigger portions than people in other countries.“We don't prioritize (优先) eating seasonally or locally, and we also add lots of salt, sugar and thickening agents to our foods，” explained Paster.Contrast that to the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets listed in Paster's book.They all seem to stick to the ethos (特质) of regional, seasonal produce. For example, a traditional Mediterranean diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil as the main components of nutritional intake.Fish, chicken and red wine make appropriate appearances, while red meat, salt and sugar are used much less often.The benefits of a traditional Mediterranean diet have been studied since the 1970s, and researchers have found that living that olive oil life can help people lose weight, lower their heart disease risk and reverse diabetes (糖尿病). Most other healthy eating cultures also make meals an event—say, multiple courses around the family table, or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch—rather than fast wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner. Each of the healthy eating cultures has its own unique feature.But Paster did take note of one unifying factor in all of the healthy societies he observed.“The only common feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk more than the average American，” said Paster.“So really, regardless of what you're eating, if someone's walking four miles more than you each day, they're going to be a lot thinner and live a lot longer than you.” 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一名营养学家的研究阐述了世界上健康国家的饮食特点。 32．What characterizes Japanese and Chinese foods? A．Naturalness.　　 B．Flavor. C．Color. D．Variety. D　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He noted that...at least five different colors in every meal.”可知，日本和中国食物的特点是种类多。 33．What features in Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets? A．Fruits and vegetables. B．Seasonal local produce. C．Olive oil and red wine. D．Unprocessed ingredients. B　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They all seem to stick to the ethos of regional, seasonal produce.”可知，地中海、北欧和冲绳的饮食特色是当地的季节性产品。 34．What do people in most healthy eating cultures have in common? A．They get the whole family to eat at a table. B．They eat their meals regularly as scheduled. C．They attach great importance to their meals. D．They consume plenty of cereal for breakfast. C　解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，大多数其他健康饮食文化也把吃饭当成一件大事。所以，他们的共同点是他们非常重视他们的饮食。 35．Compared with the average American, people in healthy societies ． A．walk at least 4 miles a day B．consume a lot more organic food C．pay more attention to body shape D．do considerably more walking D　解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The only common feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk more than the average American”可知，与普通美国人相比，健康社会的人走路更多。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面的短文，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。 “We work four­day weeks because it makes our staff more motivated，” says Joe Munns, CEO and founder of Bakedin, which makes home baking kits and cake mixes. Joe has put his 40 workers on a four­day week since he started the firm in 2013, when he was working for the computer giant IBM. 36._________ When he was at IBM, he actually reduced his hours down to a four­day week and had Fridays free, when he could work on Bakedin, which became his second job and he was devoted to. 37．_________ It means that he could do what he liked and took that opportunity to start the business with a four­day week.So they have the normal working week of Monday to Thursday—then everyone gets those three days off. Because there is still some business to do on Fridays, such as dealing with customer enquiries, some of Bakedin's office workers volunteer to work on Fridays. 38._________ Bakedin staff put in nine­and­a­half­hours on the four days they are at work. 39._________ “When we are together, we just find that we're more productive.We get more done this way, because we don't get that tired, Friday feeling.” Many firms and countries have started experimenting with four­day, rather than five­day weeks. 40._________ Bakedin is in the food industry, which has a very high turn­over rate for staff.“Every year, some 30% of employees in the food industry leave their jobs，” says Joe.“But at Bakedin, our staff turnover rate is under 5%.So a four­day week is an excellent way of keeping staff loyal.” A．He figured it was his business. B．He ran the company as a weekend passion. C．There are other benefits of putting staff on a four­day week. D．It is a big selling point when they first advertise for workers. E．They take their third day off at some other point in the week. F．They get more done this way than if they were at work five days a week. G．It reduces the risk of staff “burning out” and improves their work­life balance. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。Bakedin的首席执行官兼创始人乔·蒙斯在公司采取一周四天工作制，文章说明了他进行这一工作制的原因及其好处。 36．B　解析：空处前后都提到乔每周只工作四天，可推知空处是在说明他这一做法背后的原因：他把经营公司当成周末消遣。B项符合语境。 37．A　解析：根据下文“he could do what he liked”可知，空处旨在说明让乔可以做自己喜欢的事，这一事情是什么：他认为这是他的生意。 A项符合语境。 38．E　解析：根据上文“some of Bakedin's office workers volunteer to work on Fridays”可知，周五工作是自愿的，可见工作人员还是可以一周休息三天。 E项符合语境。 39．F　解析：根据下文“When we are together...more productive.”可知，四天工作更有效率，做得更多，F项中get more done this way也对应下文中的get more done this way。 40．G　解析：根据上文“Many firms and countries have started experimenting with four­day”以及下文“So a four­day week is an excellent way of keeping staff loyal.”可知，上文提到了很多公司和国家开始采取四天工作制，下文则说明了每周四天工作制是保持员工忠诚的好办法，由此可知，空处旨在说明四天工作制的好处。G项符合语境。 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) 阅读下面的短文，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。 Defeat can be a lot of things.Learning to accept defeat is a bitter pill to swallow, but the patience you store is so 41 ． A few months out of 42 ， I was looking through the job site in the hope of finding my first job.By page three, I had applied to 7 jobs.By page eight, 34.I was 43 to take anything and everything.I just needed to have financial stability away from my 44 ， and prove to them two degrees were worth the extra fees.

The week of the cruise arrived, and Scott continued to mumble (咕哝) his complaints as he and his family left their house to head south.Scott's dad told him that he would only make the vacation worse for himself if he didn't change his attitude and open his mind to a new experience.Scott still couldn't stop thinking about all of the snow he was leaving behind. When they arrived at the port to board the ship, Scott had a hard time admitting that he was actually impressed with the size of the ship.He had seen the brochures but seeing the ship in person was a whole different animal.Then he remembered that the brochure said something about a surfing pool.Maybe surfing would be somewhat like snowboarding.After all, it involved riding a board. Scott climbed aboard the ship with his parents, and then they walked around to check everything out.He couldn't believe how fancy the accommodations were.The dining room looked like a royal hall; the game room had all of his favorite games; the ship's deck (甲板) had several different swimming pools for different purposes.Then Scott saw the surfing pool.It was incredible.It wasn't a big pool, but it had big waves, and the young man who was demonstrating how to ride the waves made it look like a ton of fun. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Scott asked his parents if he could try surfing._______________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, Scott began to love the cruise.__________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： Scott asked his parents if he could try surfing.They said, “Of course.”And much to Scott's surprise, they wanted to try surfing too.When Scott and his parents had their swim suits on, Scott's dad went first and only lasted about five seconds before he wiped out.Then it was his mom's turn.She actually made it longer than his dad did.When it was Scott's turn, he was excited but a little bit nervous.He hopped on the board and took a stance similar to his snowboarding stance.Then the waves started.It felt similar to snowboarding but different at the same time.On his first ride, Scott rode for almost 30 seconds before wiping out.He was crazy about it though. Gradually, Scott began to love the cruise.He got to know the people who often surfed there quite well.By the time the week long cruise was over, Scott had new friends he planned to keep in touch.Scott is the brave and lucky one since only eight percent of the experiencer or so really fell in love with it among a lot of the passengers who tried surfing the first day of the cruise.With a new hobby and great memories, he apologized to his parents for earliest moaning and groaning and told them it was his best vacation ever. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 7【单元测试卷】 (满分：150分　时间：120分钟) 第一部分　听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分 7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．Where is the woman’ s hometown?

Parental Guidance's expert Dr. Justin Coulson breaks down each way you can raise your kids. Attachment parenting This is about the parent and the child being as close as possible physically and emotionally. Attachment parenting is usually for babies and young children just learning to walk. French parenting French parenting is about allowing adults to live their adult lives while encouraging children to be children, but not interfere (妨碍) with the adults' lives. The expectation on children is that if they're going to interfere, they need to do it in a mature way that respects that the adults have lives to live. French parenting encourages children to do things on their own and also to have high expectations. Helicopter parenting Helicopter parents don't want their children to suffer at all. They do things for their children that they can and ought to do for themselves, especially outside the home. Free­range parenting It's about trusting your children and giving them the skills to find their limits. It's a push back against anxious, risk opposing parenting; against helicoptering, making­sure­everything­is­OK parenting that so many of us fall victim to. Routine parenting Routine parenting is all about arrangement and routine. It improves efficiencies. You get a lot done. Everything has its place and there's a place for everything. But it places high demands on the leader. And too much focus on routine can prevent new ideas, connection and fun. 21．Which style best suits parents with children under 3? A．Attachment parenting. B．French parenting. C．Helicopter parenting. D．Free­range parenting. 22．What do French parenting and Free­range paren­ting have in common? A．Leaving children in anxiety. B．Expecting too much of children. C．Encouraging children to be independent. D．Wishing children to be OK in everything. 23．What is a disadvantage of Routine parenting? A．It's all about arrangement. B．It's of little efficiency. C．It takes place everywhere. D．It discourages creativity. B Yvonne and I had a consulting business.Yvonne used to be CEO of a London insurance company and I was on the board of a branding agency, so we had decided to join forces and build something together.The company, Dutch Engels, did very well quickly and we were running around like headless chickens.There was lots of travel—Singapore, the EU, and we'd won a project where the client wanted us to spend six months in the US.We'd be standing on the platform getting a tube at seven in the morning, thinking, “Why are we juggling all this? There must be a better way to live.” In April 2018, we were in Edinburgh for work, rushing off our feet, when someone at the meeting said that we looked like we needed a break.She suggested we go to one of the islands for a couple of days.It wasn't a bad idea.Yvonne looked on the map and spotted this tiny island, less than eight miles long and two miles wide.It looked like it was in the tropics—turquoise blue water and golden sand beaches.We headed there. The ferry journey from Oban was splendid—you've got the mountains, the ocean, the yachts.It was a world we didn't even know existed.Everything conspired (共同促成) to make us fall in love with the place.Both of us were feeling this gut instinct (直觉) which said, “This feels like home.Make this our home.” The great thing about having your own business is that you can make those decisions.That same day, instead of looking for a place to spend a holiday, we started looking for a place to live.The back windows looked on to the sea and the hills with nothing blocking the view.We went back to London and sold our apartment.By October, we'd moved here permanently. We ended up raising sheep there and they're not cheap.We went ahead and launched a woolly hat business—WELAN.We sell online and in the shop on Tiree harbour.Yvonne does the spinning and the knitting.I wash the wool, separate the fibres—all the dirty jobs.We still run the consultancy (咨询公司). 24．What do Yvonne and I mean by “Why are we juggling all this”？ A．They made a mess in the business. B．They experienced a sense of failure. C．They were tired of the present life. D．They had to travel here and there. 25．Why did Yvonne and I go to an island? A．To go on business. B．To have a break. C．To attend a meeting. D．To inspect the beaches. 26．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Their love for the island. B．Their exploration around the island. C．Their decision on the move. D．Their feelings during the journey. 27．Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Splendid Journey, Peaceful Mood B．Beautiful Harbors, Dream Home C．Joint Forces, Hard Work D．Tiny Island, Better Life C The term “underemployment” has three related meanings.In one sense, it refers to a situation in which someone with excellent job qualifications is working in a position that requires less qualifications, as for instance in the case of a lawyer driving a school bus.In the second sense, it means working part­time when one would prefer to be working full­time. In the third sense, it is a form of over­staffing (人浮于事) in which employees are not being fully made use of. All forms of underemployment have effect on the economy and the health of the business community.Long­term underemployment can also cover up the truth behind the employment situations.When nations collect employment statistics, they usually come up with a base number of “unemployed” individuals, using that number to judge the health of the job market.This number does not include part­time workers looking for full­time jobs, as they are considered employed, and it also doesn't reflect workers who are underpaid, considering their qualifications. In the first sense, underemployment is a common problem in many of the developed world.Many people with college degrees are working in low­level or service industry jobs because the job market is full. The issue of part­time employment is also very serious.Some people are forced into part­time jobs, while others find themselves taking a part­time job because nothing else is available, even though they really need to work full­time.This problem is especially common in areas with seasonal employment, where employers find it cheaper to maintain and lay off part­time staffs, rather than keeping a full staff at all times. In the sense of shortage of workers, underemployment appears in a variety of situations.Some companies maintain a full staff to be prepared for seasonal work, or to keep well­trained, qualified workers so that they will be available when needed.Labor laws and union pressures may also prevent a company from cutting down on staff or working hours, leading to a situation in which people report to work, but have nothing to do. 28．What does underemployment mean according to the passage? A．The same meaning as the word—unemployed. B．Employees are not fully taken charge of. C．Qualified workers get a low salary. D．People who do manual work for wages. 29．What can we know when it comes to unemployment statistics? A．The underpaid workers are included. B．It implies the people who are jobless. C．The part­time employees are included. D．It shows the employment situation of a country. 30．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．Underemployment only occurs in advanced countries. B．People with college degrees sometimes take a part­time job. C．Part­time staffs seem to benefit from firms less. D．Companies need full­time staffs indeed. 31．What's the purpose of the passage? A．To show underemployment is becoming more serious today. B．To imply women are laid off more than men. C．To explain the meaning of “underemployment”． D．To tell the present economic situations. D To write his book about world diet, nutritionist Harley Paster traveled to the healthiest countries around the world to learn more about what made their meals special. He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds, and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal.Paster also came away with some valuable observations about how different the North American way of life was, compared with many other countries. For starters, Americans eat much bigger portions than people in other countries.“We don't prioritize (优先) eating seasonally or locally, and we also add lots of salt, sugar and thickening agents to our foods，” explained Paster.Contrast that to the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets listed in Paster's book.They all seem to stick to the ethos (特质) of regional, seasonal produce. For example, a traditional Mediterranean diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil as the main components of nutritional intake.Fish, chicken and red wine make appropriate appearances, while red meat, salt and sugar are used much less often.The benefits of a traditional Mediterranean diet have been studied since the 1970s, and researchers have found that living that olive oil life can help people lose weight, lower their heart disease risk and reverse diabetes (糖尿病). Most other healthy eating cultures also make meals an event—say, multiple courses around the family table, or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch—rather than fast wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner. Each of the healthy eating cultures has its own unique feature.But Paster did take note of one unifying factor in all of the healthy societies he observed.“The only common feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk more than the average American，” said Paster.“So really, regardless of what you're eating, if someone's walking four miles more than you each day, they're going to be a lot thinner and live a lot longer than you.” 32．What characterizes Japanese and Chinese foods? A．Naturalness.　　 B．Flavor. C．Color. D．Variety. 33．What features in Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets? A．Fruits and vegetables. B．Seasonal local produce. C．Olive oil and red wine. D．Unprocessed ingredients. 34．What do people in most healthy eating cultures have in common? A．They get the whole family to eat at a table. B．They eat their meals regularly as scheduled. C．They attach great importance to their meals. D．They consume plenty of cereal for breakfast. 35．Compared with the average American, people in healthy societies ． A．walk at least 4 miles a day B．consume a lot more organic food C．pay more attention to body shape D．do considerably more walking 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面的短文，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。 “We work four­day weeks because it makes our staff more motivated，” says Joe Munns, CEO and founder of Bakedin, which makes home baking kits and cake mixes. Joe has put his 40 workers on a four­day week since he started the firm in 2013, when he was working for the computer giant IBM. 36._________ When he was at IBM, he actually reduced his hours down to a four­day week and had Fridays free, when he could work on Bakedin, which became his second job and he was devoted to. 37．_________ It means that he could do what he liked and took that opportunity to start the business with a four­day week.So they have the normal working week of Monday to Thursday—then everyone gets those three days off. Because there is still some business to do on Fridays, such as dealing with customer enquiries, some of Bakedin's office workers volunteer to work on Fridays. 38._________ Bakedin staff put in nine­and­a­half­hours on the four days they are at work. 39._________ “When we are together, we just find that we're more productive.We get more done this way, because we don't get that tired, Friday feeling.” Many firms and countries have started experimenting with four­day, rather than five­day weeks. 40._________ Bakedin is in the food industry, which has a very high turn­over rate for staff.“Every year, some 30% of employees in the food industry leave their jobs，” says Joe.“But at Bakedin, our staff turnover rate is under 5%.So a four­day week is an excellent way of keeping staff loyal.” A．He figured it was his business. B．He ran the company as a weekend passion. C．There are other benefits of putting staff on a four­day week. D．It is a big selling point when they first advertise for workers. E．They take their third day off at some other point in the week. F．They get more done this way than if they were at work five days a week. G．It reduces the risk of staff “burning out” and improves their work­life balance. 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) 阅读下面的短文，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。 Defeat can be a lot of things.Learning to accept defeat is a bitter pill to swallow, but the patience you store is so 41 ． A few months out of 42 ， I was looking through the job site in the hope of finding my first job.By page three, I had applied to 7 jobs.By page eight, 34.I was 43 to take anything and everything.I just needed to have financial stability away from my 44 ， and prove to them two degrees were worth the extra fees.
