Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States. Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place. Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen. 36. _______ is the lowest place in the desert. A. Tomesha B. Death Valley C. Nevada D. Badwater 37.

A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了美国的一个著名沙漠——“死亡谷”名称的由来以及“死亡谷”奇特的风光。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段提到“ Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States （Badwater是一个盐水池，大约在海平面以下280英尺，是美国的最低点）”可知，Badwater是美国的最低点，比海平面低280英尺，故选D项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story… （当一群来自内华达州的矿工迷失在它的不愉快和巨大中时，他们的冒险变成了一个悲惨的故事）”可推知， “死亡谷”的名称来源于这些迷路矿工的死亡，故选B项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“well-marked roads where good services can be found easily… （标志明显的道路，可以很容易地找到良好的服务）”可知，人们很容易能找到服务场所，故选C项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams （在那里人们似乎很难区分现实和可怕的梦）”可知，Devil Golf Course因为很难区分现实与梦境而出名的，故选C项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据“the special beauty of this place（这个地方特殊的美）”，“like the sights on the moon（向月球上的景象）”，“ever-changing（不断变化）”和“showing the most unusual colors（展示最不寻常的色彩）”等关键词语可推知，作者是带着赞赏的语气来描述“死亡谷”的，故选A项。 B Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱). Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.” Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape. Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.” It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.” His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch. 41. What is the best title for this newspaper article? A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet Salesman B. Car Boot Can Serve As The Best Escape Route C. Driver Escapes Through Car Boot D. The Driver Survived A Terrible Car Accident 42. Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson? A. The hammer. B. The coin. C. The screw. D. The horn. 43. Which statement is true according to the passage? A. Mr. Johnson’s car stood on its boot as it fell down. B. Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam. C. Mr. Johnson’s car accident was partly due to the slippery road. D. Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat. 44. “Finally it gave” (Paragraph 5) means that _______. A. Luckily the door was torn away in the end B. At last the wrench went broken C. The lock came open after all his efforts D. The chance was lost at the last minute 45. It may be inferred from the passage that _______. A. the ditch was along a quiet country road B. the accident happened on a clear warm day C. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch D. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attended 【答案】41. C 42. B 43. C 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文记述了Mr. Johnson由于车祸被困于水下车内半个小时，最后死里逃生的故事。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段第一句“Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water.(昨天当汽车陷入三英尺的沟渠中时，23岁的Peter Johnson先生奋战了半个小时从汽车后备箱中逃生)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述的是Mr. Johnson无意中陷入沟渠中，被困半个小时后，最后他用扳手撬开汽车后备箱，并从后备箱中逃走的故事。C项“司机从后备箱中逃生”适合作为本文标题。故选C项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段 Mr. Johnson 所说的话“It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot.(确实是半便士是救了我的命。这是我口袋里唯一的硬币，我用它拧开后座的螺丝进入后备箱)”可推知，硬币是对Johnson先生最重要的物件。故选B项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank.( Johnson先生的车在Romney Marsin，Kent的冰面上打滑后陷入了一个沟渠，撞到了河岸)”可知，Johnson先生的事故部分是由于路滑，故选C项。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段第二句“Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock.(然后Johnson先生发现一个扳手，开始用它撬后备箱的锁)”及下文“but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in(但是我一打开后备箱盖，水和泥开始涌进来)”可推知，“Finally it gave”意为“经过不懈的努力锁开了”，故选C项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“but no help came”但是没有人来帮忙。以及最后一段的第一句“Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby”约翰逊先生到了附近的贝克特农场。由此判断出可，沟渠地点是在寂静的农村道路边，故选A项。 C It is important to learn how to protect our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us: Reduce: If you want to reduce the waste, you should use things wisely. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper wastefully, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste. Reuse: You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them away. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters. Recycle: Bottles, cans and paper cups can be easily recycled. By doing so, we can save lots of money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed (粉碎) and melted and the metal things are made for new coke cans. Recover: When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten ones, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts. Repair: If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after repairing them. It is true that North America is a “throw away” society, but the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best. 46. The “Reduce” rule mainly require us ________. A. to use things wisely B. to cut down many trees C. to use a lot of paper D. to throw away our old clothes 47. You can do with your unwanted clothes by ________. A. throwing them away B. giving them to the poor C. passing them on to younger brothers or sisters D. both B and C 48. The right order of recycling coke cans is ________. ①melt them ②collect the used cans ③smash them flat ④send them to a factory A. ①②③④ B. ①④③② C. ②④③① D. ③①②④ 49. The “Recover” rule mainly requires us ________. A. to cover waste things with earth B. to throw the whole things away C. to throw waste things away D. to get back the useful parts 50. The best way to do with your broken tables is ________. A. selling them B. putting them away C. repairing them D. throwing them away 【答案】46. A 47. D 48. C 49. D 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了保护环境的5个原则。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Reduce: If you want to reduce the waste, you should use things wisely. （减少：如果你想减少浪费，你应该明智地使用东西。）”可知，这里是说Reduce要求我们要明智的使用东西。故选A项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段二三句“Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.（把你不穿的衣服和太小的衣服送给穷人。在一个家庭中，你可以把这样的衣服传给弟弟或妹妹。）”可知，对于自己不穿的衣服可以送给穷人或者送给家里的弟弟妹妹。故选D项。 48题详解】 细节理解题。句意：根据第四段“Recycle: Bottles, cans and paper cups can be easily recycled. By doing so, we can save lots of money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed(粉碎)and melted and the metal things are made for new coke cans.（回收：瓶子、易拉罐和纸杯很容易回收。通过这样做，我们可以节省很多钱。例如，可乐罐被送到工厂，在那里它们被粉碎和熔化，金属的东西被制成新的可乐罐。）”可知，回收可乐瓶的步骤是先回收，再送到工厂，工厂会碾碎最后融化可乐瓶。故选C项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Recover: When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten ones, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts.（回收：当你买一盒苹果时，可能有一些烂的，你有两个选择：一个是把整个苹果扔掉，或者你可以把烂的部分切下来，吃好的部分。）”可知，通过“恢复”规则，作者鼓励我们把好的部分利用起来。故选D项。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Repair: If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after repairing them.（修理：如果桌子的一条腿坏了，你可以修理它。如果你想换更好的，你最好把旧的东西卖掉，或者把它们给别人，他们可以在修理后使用它们。）”可知，对于坏掉的桌子，就算是要保留它或者是要送给别人，都需要先把桌子修理好。故选C项。 D When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other. For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. 51. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______. A. become serious about her study B. go to her friend’s house regularly C. learn from her classmates at school D. share poems and stories with her friend 52. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means ______. A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London C. our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared D. we parted with each other in London 53. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _______. A. call each other regularly B. have similar personalities C. enjoy writing to each other D. dream of meeting each other 54. In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ______. A. seek professional help B. be left alone C. stay with her best friend D. break the silence 55. What is the best title for the passage? A. Unforgettable Experiences B. Remarkable Imagination C. Lifelong Friendship D. Noble Companions 【答案】51. D 52. A 53. C 54. B 55. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文讲的是作者在不同时期的朋友伴随自己成长变化的过程。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud.”（我们会静静地坐在一起，根据火车的汽笛声分别写诗或故事。然后我们就大声读出来）可知，作者在八年级的时候，在和朋友发展正确的社会行为之前通过写诗或者故事来沟通。故选D项。 【52题详解】 句意猜测题。根据第三段“We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted.”（我们在五周的时间里，每周日聚会，发现了许多很棒的东西。他们一起散步直到彼此的伤心和绝望消失为之）可知，双方在心情糟糕时送给彼此的一个珍贵礼物。故选A项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.”（我们写长信，常常在信中发现最奇怪的自己。我们每个人都出现在对方的梦中，有时以一种有趣的方式。她和我都认为，在某些时候，我们似乎是同一心灵的两个部分。在我最有趣的时刻，我经常想:“是的，我必须告诉....”我们从未见过面。）可知，根据第4段，作者和她的朋友享受互相写信。故选C项。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.”（在那些最黑暗的时刻，我宁愿做自己最好的朋友）可知，在最黑暗的时刻，作者宁愿一个人呆着。故选B项。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。作者在文章中介绍了自己在几个不同阶段的好朋友，与这几位好朋友的友谊是高尚的、纯洁的，他们都在相应的时期给作者很大的帮助并留下了深刻的印象。所以短文的最佳标题为“高尚的友谊”。故选D项。 六、阅读表达(10分) The position of secretary or personal assistant used to be the preserve of women, but now men are making their way in. The change is due partly to the highest rate of graduate unemployment and the growing awareness that salaries for PAs can reach £75,000 a year. Joshua Watson, 25, has been an executive (行政的) assistant to a female senior director at Barclays for 18 months, having previously worked as a PA. He does not see himself as working in a woman’s role. “I don’t feel that I’m treated any differently just because I’m male,” he said. “I don’t think that is an issue for people from my generation. It’s a good job for me because I am fond of organizing. I have good exposure to see the top people in the company and I want to climb the ladder.” Recruitment(招聘) consultants are seeing an ever-increasing number of men interested in PA or secretarial posts. “Out of the 1,000 candidates we’ve registered in the past 12 months, around 200 are male,” said David Morel, managing director of Tiger Recruitment. “It is increasing the whole time. Since 2011, the numbers have been doubling each year, and most of them are ambitious graduates.” Susanna Tait, managing director of Tay Associates, agrees. She said she had seen a “huge” increase in numbers of male applicants. “It’s an obvious career choice for ambitious individuals keen to operate at the centre of the business field.” Quest Professional, which offers training courses for companies and organizations, said this was the first year that men had attended its executive PA program and that “more and more” men were doing related course. Top PAs in the City now earn between £35,000 and £75,000, plus benefits—in some cases even more. Morel thinks this is the primary reason why more men are coming into the market. Barclays encourages male applicants for PA and similar roles. “We will offer everyone—regardless of their gender—the same opportunities to be successful,” said a spokesperson. 56. What’s Joshua Watson’s position at Barclays? (No more than 4 words) 57. What does the underlined phrase “climb the ladder” in Para 2 mean? (No more than 2 words) 58. What does Quest Professional do? (No more than 10 words) 59. As for male PAs, what did Barclays’ spokesperson say? (No more than 12 words) 60. What do you think of men’s new choice and why? (No more than 20 words) 【答案】56. An executive assistant. 57. Be promoted. /Get promoted. 58. It offers training courses for companies and organizations. 59. He said they would offer everyone the same opportunities to be successful. 60. It’s normal because it is difficult to find a job now and men have their own advantages. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现在存在的一种社会现象：秘书或私人助理的职位过去是女性的专利，但现在越来越多的男性正在进入这一领域，造成这种现象的原因是一方面找工作比较难，另一方面男性也有自己的优势。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的Joshua Watson, 25, has been an executive (行政的) assistant to a female senior director at Barclays for 18 months, having previously worked as a PA.可知，Joshua Watson 在 Barclays的职位是行政助理，故填An executive assistant。 【57题详解】 词义猜测题。句意：我有很好的机会见到公司里的高层人物，我想往上爬。根据上文有很多机会见到高层人物可知，他想往上爬，是想得到提升（promote），他与提升之间是被动关系，注意使用被动形式，故填Be promoted. /Get promoted。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的Quest Professional, which offers training courses for companies and organizations可知，Quest Professional是为企业和组织提供培训课程，故填It offers training courses for companies and organizations。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的We will offer everyone—regardless of their gender—the same opportunities to be successful可知，Barclays的发言人说“我们将为所有人——不论性别——提供同样的成功机会”。故填He said they would offer everyone the same opportunities to be successful。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。现在越来越多的男性开始从事以往女性从事的职业，根据第一段的The change is due partly to the highest rate of graduate unemployment and the growing awareness that salaries for PAs can reach £75,000 a year. 和第四段的It’s an obvious career choice for ambitious individuals keen to operate at the centre of the business field.由此可推测出，男性从事秘书或私人助理这种工作是一个正常现象，一方面是找工作比较难，另一方面男性也有自己的优势。故填It’s normal because it is difficult to find a job now and men have their own advantages。 七、书面表达(25分) 61. 假如你是李津，你的英国朋友Tom被选为交换生，目前在天津就读。Tom向你寻求在天津游玩的建议。请你用英文给他写一封建议信，内容包括： (1)表示祝贺； (2)提出建议(交通方式、景点推荐、美食推荐等)以及理由。 注意：词数不少于100字；可适当加入细节，使行文连贯。 参考词汇：狗不理包子：Goubuli steamed bun Dear Tom, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sincerely Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Tom, First of all, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to you on being selected as an exchange student in Tianjin.

Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States. Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place. Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen. 36. _______ is the lowest place in the desert. A. Tomesha B. Death Valley C. Nevada D. Badwater 37. The name of the valley comes from _______. A. an Indian name B. the death of the miners C. the local people D. a National Movement 38. From the passage we can learn that _______. A. no one had ever known the desert before the miners B. it’s still not easy to travel across the desert C. people can find gas-stations cafes and hotels in the desert D. people have changed the natural sight of the desert 39. Devil Golf Course is famous for _______. A. the frequent wind B. the colors of the sand C. dream-like sights D. the sand sculptures 40. From the passage we can see that the writer _______ the Death Valley. A. appreciates B. is fearful of C. dislikes D. is tired of B Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱). Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.” Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape. Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.” It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.” His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates.

Here is a 5R rule for us: Reduce: If you want to reduce the waste, you should use things wisely. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper wastefully, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste. Reuse: You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them away. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters. Recycle: Bottles, cans and paper cups can be easily recycled. By doing so, we can save lots of money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed (粉碎) and melted and the metal things are made for new coke cans. Recover: When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten ones, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts. Repair: If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after repairing them. It is true that North America is a “throw away” society, but the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best. 46. The “Reduce” rule mainly require us ________. A. to use things wisely B. to cut down many trees C. to use a lot of paper D. to throw away our old clothes 47. You can do with your unwanted clothes by ________. A. throwing them away B. giving them to the poor C. passing them on to younger brothers or sisters D. both B and C 48. The right order of recycling coke cans is ________. ①melt them ②collect the used cans ③smash them flat ④send them to a factory A. ①②③④ B. ①④③② C. ②④③① D. ③①②④ 49. The “Recover” rule mainly requires us ________. A. to cover waste things with earth B. to throw the whole things away C. to throw waste things away D. to get back the useful parts 50. The best way to do with your broken tables is ________. A. selling them B. putting them away C. repairing them D. throwing them away D When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other. For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. 51.

The change is due partly to the highest rate of graduate unemployment and the growing awareness that salaries for PAs can reach £75,000 a year. Joshua Watson, 25, has been an executive (行政的) assistant to a female senior director at Barclays for 18 months, having previously worked as a PA. He does not see himself as working in a woman’s role. “I don’t feel that I’m treated any differently just because I’m male,” he said. “I don’t think that is an issue for people from my generation. It’s a good job for me because I am fond of organizing. I have good exposure to see the top people in the company and I want to climb the ladder.” Recruitment(招聘) consultants are seeing an ever-increasing number of men interested in PA or secretarial posts. “Out of the 1,000 candidates we’ve registered in the past 12 months, around 200 are male,” said David Morel, managing director of Tiger Recruitment. “It is increasing the whole time. Since 2011, the numbers have been doubling each year, and most of them are ambitious graduates.” Susanna Tait, managing director of Tay Associates, agrees. She said she had seen a “huge” increase in numbers of male applicants. “It’s an obvious career choice for ambitious individuals keen to operate at the centre of the business field.” Quest Professional, which offers training courses for companies and organizations, said this was the first year that men had attended its executive PA program and that “more and more” men were doing related course. Top PAs in the City now earn between £35,000 and £75,000, plus benefits—in some cases even more. Morel thinks this is the primary reason why more men are coming into the market. Barclays encourages male applicants for PA and similar roles. “We will offer everyone—regardless of their gender—the same opportunities to be successful,” said a spokesperson. 56.
