W：Oh, I've heard about it before. It's known as the City of the Renaissance, right? I've never visited it before, though. How was your time there? M：It was great. I visited the city centre.

M：I knew a little about it and didn't know it was in April. I thought it might be some day after Mother's Day. W：Easter is observed on a Sunday in March or April.

We go to a church service on Friday morning. We dye our Easter eggs on Saturday morning and visit our grandparents that afternoon. But the best part for me is the Easter Egg Hunt. On Easter morning, parents hide Easter eggs in different places for us to find. It is almost as much fun as Halloween. M：Green with envy. I will probably hang out with the other international students. I might also stay in the dorm. Remember, Linda assigned a huge book for us to read. W：Pooh. That's boring. Why not come with me?

I'm a scientist and I arrived here in Antarctica three months ago, in December. The temperature at that time was cold but not unpleasant yet. Since arriving, I've worked with about 60 other people getting everything ready for the Antarctica winter. It's been a lot of hard work, but it has been fun, too. However, a few days ago the ship left, taking most of the staff with it, and it won't be back to fetch us until next December. So the hardest thing to get used to now is that there are just 14 of us here. It's been difficult to adjust because I'm used to working in a large group. 　I'm living at the same work station where I was at ten years ago. It was new then, but it's still in good condition and generally unchanged. The dried food we get is also the same. The people working here with me are all different from the year ago, but I'm always happy getting to know new people. Ten years ago, we were able to send faxes to friends and family once a month, but today we can send e­mails and talk on the phone so we don't feel so far away. Last week we went out exploring for a few days. It was dangerous. We went together everywhere in case we fell into any holes in the ice. Holes here are much too deep to climb out of. The skies last week were beautifully clear, and I was reminded how lucky I am to be here. 17．What does the speaker think of the work? A．Boring. B．Pleasant. C．Hard but fun. 答案：C 18．What difficulty does the speaker have at the moment? A．There is a lot of hard work to do. B．The ship won't return for months. C．He is working with a small number of people. 答案：C 19．What has improved in Antarctica in the last ten years? A．Food. B．Communication. C．Living conditions. 答案：B 20．What is the speaker trying to do? A．Remind scientists of danger in Antarctica. B．Describe his own experiences in Antarctica. C．Suggest ways of improving life in Antarctica. 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 Shopping in Singapore Orchard Road Surrounded by local and international department stores and big malls on both the ends, Orchard Road is the most famous spot for best shopping in Singapore. From budget clothes and electronics to discount stores for high－end fashion labels and housewares, you can find everything under one roof. Timings: Most of the stores and markets open from 9 or 10 am, and close by 10 pm. But on every Saturday, almost all the shops extend the shopping hours till 11 pm. Marina Bay Known for being the most glorious attraction, the area of Marina Bay is home to a lot of famous malls in Singapore. From local brands to international ones which you may have never heard of, everything can be spotted here at a price you might not have to think about twice. Timings: While most malls stay open from 10 am to 10 pm, the shops here stay open till 11 pm every day, and till 11：30 pm on Friday and Saturday. Chinatown This market area is one of the most fascinating and best shopping places in Singapore for those on a budget. It is certainly a great place to buy spices, souvenirs, and clothes. Also, you can heartily bargain here until you feel satisfied with your buy! Timings: While some stores stay open till 6 pm, some close late in the night by 11 pm. Little India The most colorful and active place for shopping in Singapore, Little India is a paradise for every tourist looking to shop his or her heart out. The easy connectivity of the lanes makes shopping and walking around a cakewalk. From spices and rich sari fabrics to flowers, jewellery, and silverware, you can find anything here! Timings: While the Mustafa Centre stays open for 24 hours, the other shops mostly remain open till 10 pm. 篇章导读：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了新加坡的四个购物中心。 21．What is the common feature of Orchard Road and Marina Bay? A．They feature local brands. B．Both have a full range of goods. C．They have the same business hours. D．Both are open seven days a week. 答案：B　细节理解题。根据Orchard Road部分中的“you can find everything under one roof(你可以在同一屋檐下找到所有的东西)”和Marina Bay部分中的“everything can be spotted here(这里什么都能看到)”可知，这两个地方的商品类型都很齐全。故选B。 22．How do customers usually feel while bargaining in Chinatown? A．Joyful. B．Tough. C．Ashamed. D．Exhausted. 答案：A　推理判断题。根据Chinatown部分中的“you can heartily bargain here until you feel satisfied with your buy(您可以在这里尽情地讨价还价，直到您满意为止)”可推知，在这里讨价还价是一件很痛快、很享受的事。故选A。 23．Where could you go if you want to buy something after midnight? A．Orchard Road. B．Marina Bay. C．Chinatown. D．Little India. 答案：D　细节理解题。根据每个购物中心的Timings部分可知，四个地方只有位于Little India的Mustafa Centre是24小时营业的，所以午夜后购物应选择这个地方。故选D。 B Emotional Intelligence (EQ or EI) is a set of abilities or competences that enable us to understand and manage ourselves and our emotions effectively. EQ also helps us understand and effectively relate to others. Stress tolerance, leadership, communication, social responsibility, problem solving and creativity all require high EQ. Here are some of the major emotional intelligence competences that make up a fully integrated personality as well as a sample of a state of the art assessment that measures EQ. Emotional Expression—The ability to express your feelings and instincts. Emotional expression is a necessary part of your day. Emotional Awareness of Others—The ability to hear, sense or intuit what other people may be feeling from their words, body language (not verbal) or other direct or indirect clues. Flexibility—The ability to bounce back, be flexible, and retain curiosity and hope in the face of adversity, change or challenge. Optimism—Being positive and optimistic. EQ is recognized to be one of the most important predictors of personal, business and professional success. In a world of unprecedented change and challenge it is our ability to increase our EQ that will help us build the leadership, transparent communication and collaboration to lead better lives, do better business and contribute to a better world. IQ may get you the client, but your EQ skills will help you keep the client and build a growing practice. Why? Because, while human beings like to make their decisions in an intelligent way to purchase a product or a service, the bottom line remains that we buy services and products from those we trust and like. It is our ability to trust and like another person that makes us feel comfortable with the relationship and inspires the desire to have or to purchase something from them. It is the human ability to put instincts, emotions and thoughts into the correct position in relation to each other that gives us the competence to increase our emotional intelligence. And it is the human ability to use the changes and challenges we face to develop self awareness and emotional management that helps us communicate better. With appropriate education and training, Emotional Intelligence can be developed throughout lives. Like most human competences, Emotional Intelligence is best increased in the learning and doing, and that is why EQ focused coaching is so powerful. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了什么是情商，要想成为一个高情商的人需要哪些能力，以及拥有高情商有什么好处。 24．According to the passage, EQ refers to the abilities to perceive, adjust and control our ________． A．feelings B．angers C．joys D．sadness 答案：A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Emotional Intelligence (EQ or EI) ... our emotions effectively.(情商(EQ或EI)是一组使我们能够有效地理解和管理自己和情绪的能力。)”可知，EQ指的是感知、调节和控制情绪的能力。故选A。 25．Which of the following is not included in competences of EQ? A．You are aware of what others are feeling when they communicate by words, gestures or facial expressions. B．You are willing and able to change according to different circumstances. C．You expect good things to happen in the future. D．You make it a routine to express your emotions in a negative way. 答案：D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Emotional Expression ... and instincts.”，第四段、第五段以及第六段可知，情商包括：表达自己的情感和本能的能力，从语言或其他直接或间接的线索中感知他人情感的能力，面对逆境、变化或挑战时的灵活性，以及乐观精神。而D项(常常消极地表达自己的情感。)显然不是高情商的表现。故选D。 26．In the writer's eyes, ________． A．EQ can help to know well that you can succeed in what you do B．it is a bit difficult for people with high EQ to sell their products or services C．our competence to make EQ higher comes from the human ability to handle emotions D．you can keep improving your EQ through sports and games 答案：C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“It is the human ... our emotional intelligence.(正是人类将本能、情感和思想置于正确位置的能力，赋予了我们提高情商的能力。)”并结合倒数第三段的例子可推知，作者认为我们提高情商的能力来自于人类处理情绪的能力。故选C。 27．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A．Smart and fast are not enough B．Intelligent is vital C．Emotional is decisive D．Both intelligent and emotional are not necessary 答案：A　标题判断题。通读全文可知，第一段介绍了情商，二至六段介绍了高情商需要的能力，七至九段介绍了高情商的好处。结合第八段提到智商可能会让你赢得客户，但情商技巧会帮助你留住客户，使生意继续。可知，聪明还不够，我们还需要情商的帮助。A项(仅仅聪明和快速是不够的)最适合作为本文标题。故选A。 C Living and dealing with kids can be a difficult job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even more complex. If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important. With any relationship, you need to let other people know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart (疏远). When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn't solve anything. Communication begins with the concerns of others. It means that you can't just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication, even if it's just by writing a note. When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse. This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn't. She was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not giving Sophie a chance to explain why she was late. Later, they kept calm and listened to her. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie's parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble. 篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了父母和孩子之间如何建立和谐融洽的关系。这其中最主要的因素是双方之间的交流沟通。 28．In the writer's view, dealing with parents is ________． A．more uninteresting B．easier C．more difficult D．more interesting 答案：C　细节理解题。根据第一段“Living and dealing with kids can be a difficult job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even more complex.”可知，在作者看来，与父母打交道是更困难的。故选C。 29．What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A．The importance of friendship. B．The importance of communication. C．To make your feeling known to others. D．The disagreement between generations. 答案：B　段落大意题。通读第二段，尤其根据本段中的“it is that communication is very important(那就是沟通是非常重要的)”可知，本段阐述了沟通的重要性。故选B。 30．Which is the key to a happy relationship? A．Children should always obey their parents. B．Parents play the leading part. C．They should be equal. D．Both make the opposite know their anger. 答案：C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“If you are ... situation worse.(如果你想让他们理解你所理解的事情，告诉他们你会倾听他们说的话，但也请他们礼貌地听你说。大喊大叫或走开只会让情况变得更糟。)”可推知，父母与孩子应该是平等的，这是快乐关系的关键。故选C。 31．What does the example in this passage prove? A．Sophie's parents are willing to listen to her. B．Communication is the solution to misunderstanding. C．Sophie did well in explaining her being late. D．Sophie is very polite to her parents. 答案：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Communication is the ... a lot of trouble.(沟通是关键因素。如果苏菲的父母不愿意听的话，苏菲就会有很多麻烦。)”可推知，文章举例是为了证明沟通是父母与孩子相处的关键。故选B。 D Feelings are the emotional and physical responses to what we think about and how we react to daily events. Feelings are natural—we can't stop them from happening. Because we are all different, we respond to feelings in various ways, sometimes positively and sometimes negatively. But if we are aware of our feelings, we can learn to respect ourselves and others. There are many misunderstandings about feelings. For example, “Feelings, that womanish stuff.” Recognizing that feelings are real and natural for everyone is important. Some of us may never agree that feelings are a part of living. It may be difficult for some of us to talk about our feelings. Learning about personal feelings is important in building self－awareness and relationships with others. Most mentally healthy individuals learn to accept feelings, both good and bad. “Feelings don't exist, or they are dangerous. So no one should talk about them.” Refusing to admit feelings can damage relationships. It can also build up emotions to the point when negative behaviors break out, for example, when an angry person hits the table. Not being able to talk to those we respect about our feelings may cause an emotional “shut down”. Talking about personal feelings with your family may help. But if it doesn't, you may need to talk about your feelings with someone else. Instead of denying feelings, it is healthier to talk about them. One of the most important things you can do to create respect in a family is never to deny someone's feelings. Try to spend time each day, perhaps at the dinner table or in a private chat, talking about feelings. Teach your children by example, like “I feel afraid that you will be sleepy tomorrow if you don't go to bed soon.” Learn to be a good listener and show understanding. 篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要介绍了感情是我们对日常事物的思考和反应所产生的情感和身体反应，我们应该学会谈论和分享感情。 32．What is the feature of feelings? A．They are negative. B．They happen naturally. C．They are dangerous. D．They exist in women. 答案：B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Feelings are natural—we can 't stop them from happening.(感情是自然的，我们无法阻止它的发生。)”可知，感情自然发生。故选B。 33．Why does the author mention “an angry person hits the table” in Paragraph 3? A．To tell a story. B．To explain an idea. C．To show a fact. D．To give a definition. 答案：B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Refusing to admit ... hits the table.(拒绝承认自己的感受会破坏人际关系。拒绝承认自己的感受也会积累情绪到消极行为爆发，例如，当一个人感到愤怒，会打桌子。)”可推知，作者用“一个愤怒的人打桌子”来举例说明前面提到的观点。故选B。 34．What is the author's attitude toward talking about feelings? A．Doubtful. B．Negative. C．Favorable. D．Indifferent. 答案：C　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Refusing to admit feelings can damage relationships.(拒绝承认自己的感受会破坏人际关系。)”以及“Not being able to talk to those ... cause an emotional ‘shut down’．(不能和我们尊重的人谈论我们的感受可能会导致情感的‘关闭’。)”可推知，作者对谈论感情的态度是积极的。故选C。 35．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Ways of sharing feelings in a family. B．Effects of denying someone's feelings. C．Reasons for having respect in a family. D．Importance of teaching kids about feelings. 答案：A　段落大意题。通读最后一段可知，本段主要是关于在家庭中分享感受的方法。故选A。 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。 Icebreakers are activities that are designed to promote interactions between people.

ASL club's meetings.”以及语境可知，作者看了他们的表演，也有了不用嘴说，而是用手部动作交流的“意图”，这个“想法”吸引了作者继续探索。故选D。 45．A.appealed to B．supported C．called on D．disturbed 答案：A　根据下文“What I saw was ... __47__ more.”可知，作者所看到的与自己过去所经历的完全不同，这种新鲜感让作者想要更多。由此可推知，用手部动作交流而不必说话的想法对作者有吸引力。appeal to “吸引”；support “支持”；call on “拜访；号召，请求”；disturb “打扰；妨碍”。故选A。 46．A.everything B．nothing C．something D．anything 答案：D　根据下文“This newness just left me __47__ more.”可知，作者有了全新的经历，看到的完全不像自己过去经历过的任何事情。anything表示“(某范围的)任何事物”。故选D。 47．A.wanting B．digesting C．reacting D．showing 答案：A　根据下文“After that, feeling the need to __48__ further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club's meetings.”可知，在那之后，作者觉得有必要进一步探索，这种新鲜感使作者产生了求知“欲望”。 want “想要”；digest “消化”；react “反应”；show “显示，表明”。故选A。 48．A.exercise B．express. C．explore D．explain 答案：C　根据第一段内容可知，作者的高中是一所为学生探索生活新领域搭建舞台的学校，作者自己经历了这个探索过程，发现了美式手语。此处“explore”为复现词。故选C。 49．A.transform B．sign C．write D．count 答案：B　根据上文“After that, feeling the need to __48__ further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club's meetings.”可知，作者来俱乐部学手语，学会了如何用手语表示字母A到Z。故选B。 50．A.tackled B．perceived C．conflicted D．discouraged 答案：D　根据上文“I only learned how to __49__ A to Z that day.”以及下文“by my slow progress”可知，那天作者才学会了如何用手语表示26个字母，但作者没有因此感到沮丧而打消学习手语的念头。tackle “解决”；perceive “感知”；conflict “争执，矛盾”；discourage “气馁”。故选D。 51．A.chair B．inquire C．attend D．organize 答案：C　根据上文“Yet instead of being __50__ by my slow progress, I was excited.”可知，作者没有因学习进步缓慢而打消学习手语的念头，反而努力学习。故选C。 52．A.passed B．registered for C．gave up D．missed 答案：B　根据上文“After that, feeling ... ASL club's meetings.”可知，作者参加了一个手语俱乐部学习手语，接下来，作者正式参加了一个美式手语课程(an ASL class)。故选B。 53．A.prohibited B．welcomed C．ignored D．repeated 答案：A　根据上文“The professor was deaf”可知，教授失聪，这又是手语课，所以任何谈话都是“不被允许，不可能”的。故选A。 54．A.intense B．unconventional C．unpleasant D．inspiring 答案：C　根据下文“Instead, if there had been any talking, it would have __55__ us to learn less.”可知，有任何谈话存在，都会导致作者学习得更少，由此可推知，手语课上的沉默促进了学习，不会令学生不开心。故选C。 55．A.caused B．required C．allowed D．expected 答案：A　根据语境可知，禁止谈话对于学习手语者是件好事，因为谈话会减少手语学习者学习的机会，导致学习到的内容减少。故选A。 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 About three million people in the United States find they sometimes have a problem with stuttering (口吃), __56__ causes them to repeat the beginning sound of words or whole words while they are speaking.

I am glad to hear it. Nowadays, with the development of China, Chinese is more and more popular around the world. People learn Chinese in order to go traveling or do business in China. They want to learn Chinese well so that they can communicate with Chinese people better and know more about Chinese culture. As you are going to learn Chinese, I think I have some suggestions that are helpful. First of all, it is important to build up your vocabulary. Read Chinese news or magazines every day. At the same time, listening to tapes is a good way to improve your listening skills. Last but not least, don't be afraid to make mistakes. Just try your best. Do remember, practice makes perfect. I hope you'll be able to speak Chinese very well soon. 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。 One day last week I woke up in a bad mood. Why? We were out of coffee. I was late paying a bill. My favorite clock had just stopped working. I even forgot to say “good morning” to my husband Bob. After all, we've been waking up together for 32 years. As usual, we both got out of bed and headed right to our desks. I checked e－mail and replied to people who were complaining about rainy days as if we were all living through an awful disaster. Then I noticed an e－mail from a fellow named John who first wrote to me a year ago. He was responding to a column I had written about relationship troubles that Bob and I had overcome： “Hello Saralee. My wife Donna pointed out she found an article by you moving. It brought her to tears. I'm a grown man who can be very emotional. I was pleasantly surprised that there was a happy ending and everything was fine. Few couples these days enjoy the closeness that you have with your husband. I am proud to say that I have been with my beloved for 26 years and she's still the one.” When I saw his name on this current e－mail, I was hoping to read more about his loving marriage. He wrote: “Two days ago my wife fell down a flight of stairs. I lost the only girl I will ever love. She was only 54 and in perfect health.” I stared at his words as my life was completely changed in less than one minute. I cried as I read the rest of John's note: “She was an organ donor and I am told that because of her good health she can help as many as 50 people. It has been nice talking to you about the love of my life.” I could hear Bob in his study. He was still in a bad mood. I asked him to come in and read John's e－mail. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 As my husband was reading the letter, his mood began to change. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 After recalling the hard but loving days with my husband, I responded to the letter. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者的心情不好，甚至忘记了和自己的丈夫Bob(鲍勃)说“早上好”。在读到一封来自John(约翰)的电子邮件后，作者意识到珍惜当下的重要性。作者请Bob来看John的电子邮件。Bob是什么反应？作者是怎样做的？ [精彩范文] As my husband was reading the letter, his mood began to change. Gradually, he went from appearing anxious and annoyed to sadly calm. With a deep sigh he said, “Thank you for having me read this.” Seeing tears in my eyes, Bob opened his arms wide to embrace me. “I am sorry that we have forgotten how to love life as it is.” I cried in Bob's arms just like the little girl when we just fell in love with all the tough but loving days flooding in our minds. After recalling the hard but loving days with my husband, I responded to the letter. “Thank you, John, for being so open with me about your tender love affair. Thank you for showing me that living in the moment is the path to joy, because all future moments are truly unpredictable. Thank you, Donna, for showing me that giving, in its most gracious and noble form, is done without expecting anything in return.” And then I said “good morning” to Bob. Actually, life is what we make it, always has been, and always will be. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。Text one, hello, this is bill Smith from the Greenhouse club.

I'm a scientist, and I arrived here in an arctic a three months ago in december. The temperature at that time was cold, but not unpleasant yet. Since arriving, i've worked with about sixty other people getting everything ready for the antarctica winter. It's been a lot of hard work, but IT has been fun too. However, a few days ago, the ship left, taking most of the staff with IT, and IT won't be back to fetch ss until next december. So the hardest thing to get used to now is that there are just fourteen of us here. It's been difficult to adjust because i'm used to working in a large group. I'm living at the same work station I was at ten years ago. I was new then, but it's still in good condition and generally unchanged. The dried food we get is also the same. The people working here with me are all different from the year ago, but i'm always happy getting to know new people. Ten years ago, we were able to send faxes to friends and family once a month, but today we can send emails and talk on the phone, so we don't feel so far away. Last week, we went out expLoring for a few days. IT was dangerous. We went together everywhere in case we fell into any holes in the ice. Holes here are much too deep to climb out of the skies. Last week were beautifully clear, and I was reminded how lucky I am to be here. Hello, listeners, i'd like to share with you a bit about what it's like to live here at the south pole.
