A. when B. where C. whether D. what 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：珍妮问我是否把自行车还给了它的主人，我承认我还没有。根据“and I admitted that I hadn’t”可知，此处是指问“我”是否把自行车还给了它的主人，所以应用从属连词whether表示“是否”引导宾语从句。故选C。 4.

A. Accomplishing B. To accomplish C. Accomplished D. Having accomplished 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：为了完成他的研究论文，史密斯经历了近半年的各种艰难困苦。分析句子可知，句中有谓语动词experienced且句中无连词，故应用accomplish的非谓语动词形式，accomplish意为“完成”，动词词性，“完成研究论文”是“经历了近半年的各种艰难困苦”的目的，故应用不定式在句中作目的状语，不定式符号to后接动词原形，句首单词首字母大写，故应用To accomplish。故选B项。 6.

A. that B. where C. which D. why 【答案】B 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：在我的职业生涯中，我已经到了我需要决定走哪条路的地步。 分析句子可知，空格处引导定语从句，先行词是a point，表示抽象地点，在从句中作地点状语。故选B。 【点睛】 7.

A. is regarded B. regard C. are regarded D. regards 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：现在骑自行车，慢跑和游泳被认为是最好的全面锻炼方式之一。空处是句子的谓语动词，句子描述客观事实，时态为一般现在时，动词regard与主语之间是被动关系，因此要用被动语态，be regarded as⋅⋅⋅ 意为“被认为是……”。along with连接前后两个名词作主语时，谓语动词应与前者保持一致，即谓语动词应和cycling一致，应用单数形式，空处应填is regarded。故选A。 9. Someone ____the tap on, for the water was running over and flooding the bathroom. A. could leave B. must have left C. might leave D. should have left 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查情态动词。句意：一定是有人没关水龙头，因为水溢出来淹了浴室。根据句中的for the water was running over and flooding the bathroom可知，此处表示“对过去事情的肯定推测”，意义为“必定做了……”，应该用must have done形式表推测。故选B项。 10. I’m now writing __________ the classmates to invite you to come and attend our farewell party on Saturday. A. in contrast to B. on behalf of C. in charge of D. in the shape of 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：我现在代表同学写信邀请你来参加我们周六的告别晚会。A. in contrast to与……形成对比；B. on behalf of代表；C. in charge of主管，掌管；D. in the shape of呈……的形状。根据空前的动词“writing”和空后的名词短语“the classmates”可推知，此处表示代表同学来写信，发出邀请，应用介词短语on behalf of“代表”。故选B。 11. —There is a belief that e-books will take the place of paper books one day. —__________ After all, paper books bring us a very different reading experience. A. Don’t mention it. B. It depends. C. I don’t think so. D. I have no idea. 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查情景交际。句意：——人们相信电子书总有一天会取代纸质书。——我不这么想。毕竟，纸质书给我们带来了非常不同的阅读体验。A. Don’t mention it别客气；B. It depends看情况而定；C. I don’t think so我不这么想；D. I have no idea我不知道。根据空后的“paper books bring us a very different reading experience”可知，说话人认为纸质书可以提供非常不同的阅读体验，有其不可取代之处，因此是不认同对方的观点，I don’t think so“我不这么想”符合语境。故选C。 12. I suggest you take the forms away and read them carefully at your__________.

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. 【答案】41. C 42. D 43. D 44. C 45. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要描述了在圣诞节来临之前作者在邮局邮寄，但是总是提示出错，作者遭遇尴尬境遇的时候身后的人一直鼓励作者的经历。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“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.(圣诞节前一周，邮寄排队的人绕着大厅蜿蜒了两圈。似乎没有人在动)”可知，邮局里的人非常多，邮局很忙。故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“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. (我不喜欢自助服务。我告诉人们说这是因为我不赞成把工作从人手中抢走，但是真正的问题是我不擅长使用它。机器总是问我一些我不知道答案的问题。我讨厌这样)”可知，作者认为自助服务太复杂了不好用。故选D。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“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(下一个人也花了很长时间。我深深地吸了一口气。轮到我的时候，我的心率已经达到了瑜伽修行者的水平)”可知，作者当时的心情是紧张的和焦虑的。故选D。 44题详解】 词义猜测题。结合下文“I guess I don't know what I’m doing. You all go ahead.”可知作者几次尝试都没有成功，因此只好对后面的人说，不知道自己在干什么，让他们先来。可推测作者当时是非常尴尬的，故划线单词意思为“尴尬的”，故选C。故选C。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“"Don't give up," said the nice man behind me." Try it again. We're all friends here, right?"(“别放弃，”我后面的那个好人说。“再试一次。我们在这里是朋友，对吧？”)”可知，作者后面的人一直在鼓励作者。故选D。 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. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. C 49. D 50. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讨论了图书馆的价值和重要性。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“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.(由于许多原因，从图书馆借书似乎在减少。随着技术的进步，人们现在可以在Kindles等电子设备上下载和阅读他们喜欢的任何内容)”可知，第二段主要谈论人们很少从图书馆借书的原因。故选B。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“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?(你可以说我过时了，但是我从来没有接触过电子书：我喜欢在我的书架上摆放纸质书；我喜欢新书的味道；我喜欢翻阅纸页——只要我不被纸割伤！此外，如果我阅读的所有内容都是电子的，我会拿我庞大的书签收藏做什么)”可知，此处作者意在说明自己很喜欢纸质书。故选D。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。由第五段中的“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!(当我在大学的时候，我经常花几个小时在学校图书馆，借了许多印刷材料，因为每周购买全新的书籍来阅读研讨会和讲座实在太贵了。图书馆是免费的)”可知，作者上大学时经常去图书馆。故选C。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“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!(我工作的学校有一个令人难以置信的图书馆，当我想读一本好书时，这证明是无价的，但我意识到我想在一年中读的所有东西不太可能在我回家时装进我的手提箱)”可知，作者在魁北克工作时经常去校图书馆主要是因为她知道自己在那边的工作结束后不能带太多书回家。故选D。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“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.(自从移居国外在魁北克工作了一年，图书馆的重要性在我个人层面上变得更加明显)”以及最后一段“There are still many fantastic ways to use libraries—maybe we just need to be more awake to them!(仍然有许多奇妙的方法来使用图书馆——也许我们只是需要更清醒地面对他们)”可知，本文主要讨论了图书馆的重要性和价值。因此作者写这篇文章的目的是强调图书馆的优势。故选B。 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. 【答案】51. D 52. C 53. D 54. C 55. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要介绍性格外向者在面试中往往以外向的态度和活泼的个性给人留下深刻的印象。但是工作中的价值和声誉会随着时间的推移而减少，所以老板们可能会考虑外向型员工是否会成为一名有价值的团队合作者。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“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.(“虽然性格外向者在面试中往往以外向的态度和活泼的个性给人留下深刻的印象，但是工作中的价值和声誉会随着时间的推移而减少，”一位管理学副教授Corinne Bendersky说)”可知，性格外向者在面试中表现不错。故选D。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分上一句“On the other hand, introverts(性格内向者)work hard on a team because they care what others think of them.(另一方面，性格内向者在团队中努力工作，因为他们在乎别人怎么想他们)”以及划线后“or contributing 100%”可知，划线部分的意思是“尽本分，尽自己所能”。故选C。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“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.(Amy Jen Su 和Muriel Maignan Wilkins这两位作家同意这个看法并说经理们应该认识到内向型员工的优势，例如，他们设身处地为他人着想的能力)”可知，Amy Jen Su赞同Bendersky关于外向的人和内向的人的观点。故选D。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“"Managers must try to help introverts find their voice," Wilkins says.(“经理们一定要尽力帮助内向的人找到自己的声音（发表自己的意见），”Wilkins说)”可知，Wilkins建议管理者鼓励内向的人发表自己的意见。故选C。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“"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."(“当他们是团队一员时外向的人会随着时间的流逝会让我们失望，”Bendersky说。“在团队中，你被期望是工作努力且多做贡献的。但是他们不善于倾听，并且他们也不合作”)”以及第三“"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.(另一方面，性格内向者在团队中努力工作，因为他们在乎别人怎么想他.。他们不想让别人觉得他们不努力，没有100%付出)”以及下文的描述可知，这篇文章主要通过做比较来描述观点。故选B。 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） _____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. I could stay awake until midnight. 57. To try to fight less with his older brother. 58. In the New Year, set a goal for yourself or change a habit and work on it. 59. To try to fight less with his older brother. 60. To enter a key university. In order to achieve this goal, I will eliminate all difficulties and keep working hard. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己童年时制定新年计划的故事，介绍了不同年龄段不同的新年计划，并告诉我们一个道理：要想实现新年计划就要为之努力。 【56题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“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. (当我还是个孩子的时候，我最喜欢的新年前夜的事情就是努力保持清醒直到午夜。我父母没有强迫我早睡。然而，我通常在新年到来之前就睡着了。)”可知，除夕夜守岁作者通常会睡着，难以坚持到新年的到来。所以划线部分所在句“It wasn’t until my 10th birthday that I reached the finish line and was able to cheer with the rest of the family.(直到我十岁生日，I reached the finish line能够和家人一起欢呼。)”本意是“我才到达终点线”，实际含义是“我能够保持清醒到午夜”。故答案为I could stay awake until midnight. 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“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).( 直到我十岁生日，我能够保持清醒到午夜，能够和家人一起欢呼。当我第二天早上醒来时，我妈妈问我是否想制定一个新年计划。)”及第二段“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.(我不知道新年计划是什么。在她向我解释后，我说我会尽量少和哥哥打架。)”可知，在作者明白了什么是新年计划后，作者的新年计划就是尽量少和哥哥打架。故答案为To try to fight less with his older brother. 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“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. (新年计划是为了完成一个个人目标或打破一个习惯而决定做或不做某事。)”可知，作者认为“新年计划”在新的一年里，为自己树立一个目标，或改变一个习惯并努力做到。故答案为In the New Year, set a goal for yourself or change a habit and work on it. 【59题详解】 段落大意题。根据最后一段“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! (记住，坚持新年计划是需要努力的。如果你失败了一两次，不要担心。只要你坚持你想要完成的事情，你最终会为自己感到骄傲。到了年底，你会成为一个比年初更好的人！)”可知，坚持新年计划是非常重要的，当你实现的时候，你就成就了更好的自己。故答案为Stick to your resolution, and achieve a better yourself. 【60题详解】 开放题。通读全文可知，作者讲述了自己童年时制定新年计划的故事，介绍了不同年龄段不同的新年计划，告诉我们一个道理：要想实现新年计划就要为之努力。作为一名高三的学生，我的新年计划就是希望在新的一年里能够考上一所重点大学，为了实现这个目标，我将不断努力奋斗。故答案为To enter a key university. In order to achieve this goal, I will eliminate all difficulties and keep working hard. 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.

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.

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.
