A. book review B. newspaper ad C. educational website D. science novel B It was the week before Christmas, and the line at the post office snaked twice around the lobby(大厅). It seemed that no one was moving. The office looked like an exhibit in the Postal Wax Museum. I came to the self-service machine where the line was much shorter. I don't like self-service. I tell people it's because I don't approve of taking jobs away from people, but the real problem is that I'm no good at it. The machine always asks me something I don't know the answer to. I hate this. I am a retired letter carrier, and we moved mail the old-fashioned way: hand to hand, human to human. We were fast, friendly, and frequently accurate. The woman in the front of the line was clicking away at the screen. And the clicks were surprisingly loud. Any signs of hesitation on her part were telegraphed to the whole lobby. I felt sorry for her: The machine could smell fear. The next person took a long time, too. I breathed deeply. By the time it was my turn, I had the heart rate of a yogi(瑜伽修行者). Under the weight of concern from the people in line behind me, I felt a growing obligation to minimize the seconds between clicks. Finally it was time to slide in a credit card. The machine didn't take it. “Try putting it in the other way,” the gentleman behind me suggested. No good. “I've got a different card,” I said, and fished around for that one, beginning to sweat. The machine wanted a PIN, but not the one I suggested. “Start over,”I clicked, intending to try the first card again. Oh no. I had to start all over again. “I'm sorry,“ I said, looking back, sheepish. “I guess I don't know what I'm doing. You all go ahead.” “Don't give up,” said the nice man behind me.“ Try it again. We're all friends here, right?” Smiles were blooming(绽放)all down the line. I tried again, clicked with deliberation and sincerity, and introduced my credit card as though I were presenting it to the queen. Finally, I made it! I couldn't have been happier. Everyone burst into applause. Comfort and joy! 41. What do we know about the post office? A. It was pretty large. B. Something went wrong there. C. It was very busy at Christmas. D. Efficient services were provided. 42. What does the author think of self-service machines? A. They are friendly. B. They are quite convenient. C. They often make mistakes. D. They are too complicated to use. 43. While waiting for his turn, the author was_________. A. a little excited B. totally relaxed C. bored and impatient D. nervous and anxious 44. What does the underlined word “sheepish” in Paragraph 8 mean? A. Grateful. B. Surprised. C. Embarrassed. D. Determined. 45. What did the man behind the author do? A. He rushed the author. B. He laughed at the author. C. He mailed for the author. D. He encouraged the author. C When was the last time you went to your local library? Last week? A month ago? A year ago? For many reasons, borrowing books from libraries seems to be in decline. With advances in technology, it is now possible for people to download and read whatever they like on electronic devices such as Kindles. Call me old-fashioned, but I've never got into the e-book: I like to have printed books lining my bookshelves; I love the smell of a new book; and I enjoy leafing through paper pages—as long as I avoid the paper cuts! Also, what would I do with my vast bookmark collection if everything I read was electronic? I prefer paper books to e-books, and I also prefer to own them myself. Libraries only lend books, so of what use are they to someone like me, or to someone who prefers e-books? Personally, I still love libraries. They offer a quiet space to sit, read, think, do research…a real escape from the outside world. When I was at university, I frequently spent hours at the school library and borrowed numerous printed materials, as it was just too expensive to buy brand new books every week to read for seminars and lectures. Libraries are free! Libraries often organize interesting activities as well. At home, my local library hosted actors, historians and other speakers during the town's annual art and literature festival. Well-known authors are also invited to libraries to give speeches or lead discussions about their work. Events such as these are a great way to appeal to people of all ages in the community and encourage the use of libraries. Since moving abroad to work in Quebec for a year, the importance of libraries has become clear to me on an even more personal level. The school I work in has an incredible library, which is proving invaluable when I want a good book to read but am feeling conscious that everything I would want to read during the year is unlikely to fit in my suitcase by the time l go home! There are still many fantastic ways to use libraries—maybe we just need to be more awake to them! 46. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A. The reason why people like reading books on Kindles. B. The reason why people seldom borrow books from libraries. C. The advantages of modern technology. D. How to download electronic books. 47. Why does the author mention bookmarks? A. To tell her personal story. B. To introduce a special book. C. To explain how to read books. D. To show she loves printed books. 48. As a university student, the author____________. A. read many e-books B. bought many new books C. often visited the school library D. gave a speech at the school library 49. Why did the author go to the school library while working in Quebec? A. To take part in interesting activities. B. To lead discussions about her work. C. Because she couldn't afford to buy new books. D. Because she couldn't bring many books back home. 50. What's the author's purpose in writing the passage? A. To give some advice on reading. B. To stress the advantages of libraries. C. To compare different kinds of books. D. To share the author's reading experience. D "While extroverts (性格外向者) often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews, that value and reputation at work diminish (削减) over time,” says Corinne Bendersky, an associate professor of management. “Extroverts disappoint us over time when they're part of a team,” Bendersky says. “On a team you're expected to work hard and contribute a lot. But they're often poor listeners, and they don't collaborate.” “On the other hand, introverts (性格内向者) work hard on a team because they care what others think of them. They don't want to be seen as not pulling their weight or contributing 100%,” Bendersky says. So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impress managers greatly in job interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team player, Bendersky says. Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers, agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else's shoes. “These team members are often easygoing, which can make them exceptional mentors (良师益友) to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in one-on-one situations,” Su says. “Managers must try to help introverts find their voice,” Wilkins says. “Help them see that speaking up is not about self-promotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all.” What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words? Should managers cut them off? Managers definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is affecting others. Wilkins suggests saying something in private to make adjustments. 51. What do we know about outgoing people according to Bendersky? A. They are good listeners. B. They are good at cooperating. C. They often make great contributions. D. They tend to perform well in interviews. 52. Which can best replace the underlined part “pulling their weight” in Paragraph 3? A Trusting others. B. Making good choices. C. Doing their full share of work. D. Trying to share their thoughts. 53. What is Su's attitude towards Bendersky's words? A. Critical. B. Tolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Approving. 54. What does Wilkins advise managers to do? A. Promote more introverts. B. Learn to work more efficiently. C. Encourage introverts to speak up. D. Avoid conflict among employees. 55. How is the text mainly developed? A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance. 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 When I was a kid, the thing I enjoyed most about New Year’s Eve was trying to stay awake until midnight. My parents didn’t force me to go to bed early. However, I usually fell asleep before the New Year arrived. It wasn’t until my 10th birthday that I reached the finish line and was able to cheer with the rest of the family. When I woke up the next morning, my mom asked me if I wanted to make a New Year’s resolution(决心要做的事). I had no idea what a New Year’s resolution was. After she explained it to me, I said I would try to fight less with my older brother. This got me a smile and a pat on the head from my mom. Unfortunately, the resolution lasted only until dinner time. The reason is that my brother and I got into an argument about who would set the table. A New Year’s resolution is a decision to do or not do something in order to accomplish a personal goal or break a habit. It comes at a time when people look back at the past year and make an effort to improve themselves as the new year begins. Adults often make New Year’s resolutions to lose weight or exercise more. Kids make resolutions to get along better with others or to do their homework right away. Remember that it takes work to keep a New Year’s resolution. Don’t worry if you fail to make it once or twice. As long as you stay committed to what you want to accomplish, you’ll be proud of yourself in the end. And you’ll be a better person at the end of the year than you were at the beginning! 56. What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 probably mean?（no more than 10 words） _____________________________________________________________________________________ 57. What was the author’s resolution at 10?（no more than 10 words） _____________________________________________________________________________________ 58. What’s a New Year’s resolution?（no more than 20 words） _____________________________________________________________________________________ 59. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?（no more than 10 words） _____________________________________________________________________________________ 60. What’s your New Year’s resolution? How do you keep it?（no more than 20 words） _____________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津。国内某网站要开辟一专栏，邀请各地擅长英语的志愿者以vlog的形式向外国人介绍中国各个城市，帮助外国人更好地了解当代中国。你对此很感兴趣，决定写一封邮件，申请担任天津的vlog志愿者，向世界介绍天津。内容包括： 1.你对于此次活动的理解； 2.申请优势(不少于两点)； 3.你对vlog内容的策划。 注意： 1.词数不少于100； 2.可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 Dear Sir Madam, It’s a great pleasure to know that your website will launch a new column to introduce China to foreigners via vlog. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking forward to your earliest reply.

I would like to apply to serve as a vlog volunteer in Tianjin and introduce Tianjin to the world.
